on the other side dying beneath the udder side.har har

In a momentous strike of lame inspiration i shouted, "See you on the other side!" (which could've been taken as 'udder side' save for the fact that there was no preceding cow joke :p) to P and J as they parted ways from me and K to different sides of the LRT track. i didn't even have to turn to see the incredulous expression on K's face.
thus ends the very short but memorable study group sessions of one insignificant PR student with 3 madly creative JR students. God bless us all!

my exams shall soon be upon me as i say every semester but this semester is different!
how so? well, not positively so i'm afraid.
i've been so geared up with hands-on assignments that require little more than aesthetic sense and reasonable handiness with design programs that i now do NOT have the mood for mere books and notes anymore. *snort* yeah right...it's more like my one-track brain can't quite get out of play mode and so, here i am stranded and brain-blocked. bleh.

so i took yet another attempt at studying in uni yesterday...this time, it was 3 noisy, complaining PR students and 1 madly-busy BC student. all was fine, we studied Media Planning a subject i really feel i know peanuts about.
then, C and C got hungry. and a lil Hungrier. then they were HUNGRY!
fine, for the sake of my at-that-point tasty looking behind (sorry, exam stress making me type this), i agreed to drive them to get some lunch. :p
the initial plan was to hop over to McD's just a short 5 minute drive away. however, we forgot about the Friday jam factor. yes, how could we forget about the glorious mosque and it's oh-so-pious innards?? tsk tsk.
so, that's alright, we'll just go to the next best thing then: MidValley.
and still all was well. i found a parking space within 5-10 minutes of entering the place, we parked ourselves at McD, ate, gossiped, 1 C made frequent trips to the ladies' and yes, we studied some more.
then came the time to go. 3 rather satisfied PR students thinking we'd just get to the car nice and easy now then drive off into the horizon. but noooooo...
MidValley has a horrendous car park system! wait, i am in fact glorifying it by even calling it a 'system'! the @^%&# who numbered the lot must've hated alphabets soooo much that he decided 'let's make everyone whose brain-was-not-as-sad-mine's life as miserable as mine was in kindergarden!' and proceeded to mark the columns with A and a nice skip over C and joyfully skipping numbers to boot. we took a 20 minutes just looking for my car so actually, this is one case in which it doesn't help to ask me to remember the column marking. (i usually don't but even then it never took me this long). rarr!
the things we do for exams...sigh.

exams have one thing in common with my mother.
on occassion, i feel like being the proper daughter i should be (keyword: should) and say, do the laundry for once. but just before i actually do the action, my mom commands that i do and the mood is gone.
on occassion (usually at the semester beginning), i am actually eager to absorb knowledge and um..open my mind! but then exams come along and poof! mood gone! -_-"
ah, the joys of being 'special'.
