Entschuldigung:::

Well... exams are finally over and I have to say I feel "elatedly deflated" which shouldn't surprise me because the bathos after the climax is often rather steep. I would love to feel a bit more about the whole idea that I have technically finished my first year but it is either that it hasn't sunk in yet or it just won't. I'm taking my bets on the latter simply because it IS me we are talking about here. Of course, the idea of receiving the results of this semester's exams is daunting and dampens the jubilant atmosphere because deep, deep, deep down under all that layers of self-denial and stubbornness, I am scared of what they will show. I seriously do not want to fail any first year subject even if it were a subject which I have never shown an affinity for such as statistics or physics. But then I do not have a crystal ball, so worrying about it now will not do me any good except perhaps to give me premature wrinkles! (T.T) So for the time being, I am oblivious to the truth. On the plus side, I am excited that I have finally chosen to specialise in Genetics. Even if this semester's Biology exam was crazy hard and made my head twirl in dimensions that I didn't know existed, I welcome the challenge which is quite a change from the usual parroting of facts. It is good to know that we DO have a cranial capacity of 1400ml but it would be nicer to be able to actually do something with that brain size.

So what did I do the first thing I could when "freedom" was unleashed? I did what any normal, typical Asian kid would do in today's up-and-coming society. -.........- I went for karaoke!! Gosh, I never would in a million years think I would actually be doing something like this in Melbourne simply because I have never seen such culture exploited. I have heard from Bunny and Taro that this sort of experience is vastly widespread in Malaysia and Singapore but I guess, the trend skipped Thailand along the way. But.... oh-my-word, our CMG committee can SING! The voices were so, so, so incredible: so incredible that our Minnie Mouse actually asked to someone to turn off the accompanying audio when in fact, it wasn't even on! I'm almost so green with envy, it is going to colour my face ugly but I guess there are the gifted and then there are people like me. Quick, someone pass me a paper bag - I'll cut out two holes and stuff it on my head! Anonymity seems encouraging at times~ I remarked to my mum the other day saying how it was unfair that some people were blessed with talent like a heavenly voice but I guess that is what makes each of us different. Do I have any good qualities then? I'll ponder that over the weekend although I seriously doubt I will come up with any sincere answers.

But besides all this shenanigans, I have been thinking about things and life as I usually do. Actually more so than the usual because during my impromptu German lesson today, the conversation we had sparked some interesting thoughts and ideas; ideas so deep that it hit me to the core. I would love to share it with you but to be honest, I don't think I would be able to do justice in their articulation. The only thing I will say is that I feel inspired to be more, to be better and to get rid of my current languid attitude.

Anyhoo, that is all for tonight! As they say, "Guten Abend!" Hehes. I should try to blog some stuff in German - like really, really basic German. All I know at the moment off the top of my head is something like, "Ich heiße June" - sehr gut ya? :) YAY - does happy dance! Anyways, I have got to go a shake off an annoying pest!!
