I need help with picking out presents for guys. Well, I'm just out of ideas for cheap-ish presents.

Got to get stuff for Mihailo and Thomas, since, well, I forgot their birthdays. Both of which were like quite awhile ago. Tom's wasn't so bad, 1 June... but Mihailo's was like the 31 March... Heh... I'm so slack.

And I frankly can't think of anything that's a good gift. You know, something that isn't useless. Hmm.... suggestions anyone?

Exhaustion.

Well, yeah, you'd think that just because my exams are over, and my holidays have started, that I'd be having plenty of rest without feeling tired right?

Dead wrong. I'm so exhausted from going to the gym. I swear not one of my body is actually sore from doing only half of the required exercises. Sigh, I need to get myself in shape faster...

Apparently, the new gym programme that I got is a little bit too intense considering that I hadn't been doing much recently, according to another gym instructor. So he was advising that I reduce the number of sets I do from 5 to 3, then up it progressively in a few weeks time. I'll try following his advice.

Met Maxim again today, after meeting him yesterday at gym. He's good. Well, compared to me, he is. I have to work harder...

Napped for like 3 hours as soon as I got home from gym. Yeah I was really that tired. And finally got Halo 2 to install itself. Turns out I was doing something wrong all along, well, whatever. It works now, I think.

I've recently got the "Where You Lead" song stuck in my head. If no one can place it, its well-known as the Gilmore Girls opening credits song. Speaking of which, Gilmore Girls is finished. I only know 'cause my sister watches it every Sunday when they show it here, but its not a bad show. I found myself analyzing their story-telling techniques. They use a lot of symbolism, which I don't mind, and they have the occasional sarcastic humour, which is always a plus. Although sometimes they get too girly and mushy, which is well, only to be expected. So I still don't really like it that much. I'd rather watch House any day.

I really should get started on watching Heroes, but there's just so much to start with, I don't know if I can really be bothered with it...

Anyway, written enough for the moment I believe. See ya soon.

I'm free!

Yes! Exams are over, well... they were over for me since Wednesday, but I was too busy celebrating and all =P

Firstly, my exams were pretty good, I guess. Except for Design, as I expected. To be honest, it was horrible. For a two hour long exam that is easy in terms of work (I mean drawing, and regurgitating common sense, how hard is that?), you'd think that it was a breeze. But nooo, it wasn't... It was a nightmare. They gave way too much drawings, and while it was easy to regurgitate the writing bits, one of it involved doing a bloody MART (Multi-Attribute Rating Technique, don't ask, seriously, don't) which takes about half an hour, or 1/4 of the time allocated to you. And this was all for 10% of the exam mark. Honestly ridiculous. I only know of like less than 10 people who managed to finish the whole exam to its entirety in the time given. Even the genii like Richard and Alex got through 90%+ of the paper... I managed about 80% =( And I won't get 80% of it as well.

Ah well, the rest by comparison were alright. I didn't really like Mechanics, especially with 12 questions over 3 hours, or 15 minutes per question. The questions were easy, but when you can't figure it out initially and start to worry, like I did, you screw up a little. I did a question and crossed it out completely since it seemed so wrong, when I was doing it right. And I could have gotten partial credit too. Gah! Maths Modeling 2 was fun. I made some really dumb mistakes, like differentiating instead of integrating for my double integral, but I reckon I did everything else alright. Same goes for Biochem. I'm just galled that I made so many little mistakes because of sheer stupidity.

But enough of the exams. Its over, and I get 4 weeks of holiday!!! Well, officially I get 2, but I have "study leave", soooo.... HOLIDAYS!!!!! I even treated myself to a mini shopping spree. Went to ParisTexas and got myself a hoodie and sweater, and yeah, a few shirts. Maybe I'll go get myself that new fragrance, CK in2u as well...

Speaking of holidays, my holidays aren't going to be so fun since I, well, decided to remake my gym schedule. And well, my new one is the standard training regiment (mine before was a really relaxed one, but it probably did nothing for me), and I have to do it four times a week. Man, I'm going to be sooooo slaughtered by the end of each of those days.... Considering that I haven't been to gym for like 2 weeks now too.

I'm turning 18 soon! Well, a month from now, but still soon. Now I don't have to turn down invites from Ash to the pub. I've already turned him down like 4 times ever since I started talking to him 3 weeks ago. Practically just about every time I see him, in that sense.

Hehe, I'm a little tired now. I've worn myself out a gym today, and well... I only had 7 hours of sleep last night, when I should be having a big sleep-in... So, night!
