#1284: The Royal Wedding

Yes it's an open secret that I adore all things British, what more the much-awaited Royal Wedding?
The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Elizabeth Middleton (now known as the Duchess of Cambridge) is a testament to a real life fairytale come true.












Reminds me of the Chinese proverb: 执子之手，与子偕老。












It's true when they say that a bride is most radiant on her wedding day cos she glows from within!

PS: I'm sure Princess Diana is smiling from above.

PPS: Sir David is smokin' hot!




PPPS: Someday, I believe I will meet my own William and I'll be Kate.

#1283: The complexity of the human mind

When I first started blogging, it was an avenue for me to confide and basically to rant.

Not many people knew of summergirl-huimin.blogspot.com so I had this entire space to say whatever I want, the way I like it.

Gradually, especially at this point of time, perhaps because of increased exposure, I have lost the "privacy" I enjoyed last time and there is this constant feeling in me that tells me someone out there is reading this supposedly-private space of mine and I need to phrase my words correctly and carefully.

I need to be politically correct.

So, what's the point of blogging then?

This is probably why I decided to stay away...

It is not that I intended to ditch blogging, blogger.com has always been the first thing that comes to my mind whenever I want to say or express something in words but more often than not, I find myself deleting drafts after drafts, never publishing them.

I have thought of privatising this blog (again) but I feel bounded to my readers. 

I know I have readers who enjoy reading my nonsense right? LOL. 

And of course, friends from local and overseas are able to catch up with my life easily through here. 

It's the same old thing - you gain some; you lose some. 

Maybe this is just a transition period.

I don't know what is it like for others but for me, I can be a pretty private person. 

Major bad point about myself, others may think but I simply don't like to be accountable for things that are not related to them. 

I reckon I can, and I will sort things out myself.

I like it this way and maybe, just maybe, I'm born a loner. 

Sigh, human relationships are so complex.

PS: I adore reading someone's ramblings. Very true, very genuine, very real. 

#1282: Hi I'm back. No, it should be, HI I AM BACKKKK!!!!!!!

It has been...so. long.

Truth to be told, during my absence from the blogosphere, I refrained from visiting my own blog because I feel guilty about not blogging!
Nonetheless, I see visitors coming here regularly and that's comforting news!
Even though I don't know who is consistently reading this lil space of mine (I respect your anonymity!), well, an audience is an audience. :p

So what has been going on in my life?
Towards the end of March, I had the most awesomest birthday celebration (I meant it, because it was wayyy better than my 21st!) and was busy rushing my assignments out concurrently.
I have something against deadlines because they never allow me to meet them.
I think they hate me, well I don't exactly like them either. :(

Anyhoo, I ended lessons officially in the first week of April and embarked on my one-week study break thereafter.
Everyone likes to say "time flies" because...it indeed passes by in lightning speed.
The big E is over and true to my examination tagline - no regrets.
OVERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note: This was last year's paper. Much as I want to, I cannot bring the exam question papers home.

I don't know if I am on a lucky streak recently but I have spotted questions for all my 3 papers correctly.
Yeah, sounds kinda unbelievable but it's true!
I worry most for my marketing paper because for those marketing students out there, you sure know how much we need to memorise - those concepts, content and real-life applications in the diverse marketplace.
I remember I almost flunked last year's paper.
I walked out of the examination room feeling all depressed and sunken.
I don't know how to answer the essay questions, not one.
I vividly remember a question which went something along the line like this: "What is the most important factor for marketers in analysing consumers' behaviour?"
The correct answer is supposedly "culture" and I wrote "consumers' disposable income" and then elaborated on disposable income leading to consumer buying power and thus purchase behaviour.
Very surprisingly, I passed the paper pretty well therefore I thought to myself, "hey, marketing papers are not about cold, hard concepts after all. If I can crap and turn things around, in other words, spin a story, I could actually bluff my way through!"...... NOT.

I most certainly did not bluff my way through this time round.
I studied real hard and started early so when I flipped open the question paper and zoomed straight to the essay section, I totally relish the feeling of writing effortlessly and flowingly. *smirks*

This part of the entry is making me so haughty, hahaha!
Look at my very first HD!

Note: Dear lecturer, there is a grammatical error in your remarks. Try spotting!

So.... school's over and done for, at least for now till I start school again on the 9th of May.
For you forgetful people out there, I school on a trimester basis, which means to say I study 3 semesters a year.
Please add a part time job on top of that, hence feel free to call me WONDERWOMAN yo!

Okay I actually have a list of drama to catch up on:

1. Playful Kiss (Korean drama)
2. Iris (Korean drama)
3. Gossip Girl season 4
4. Nikita
5. Vampire Diaries season 1

All soapy dramas, I know but I'm just gonna be a couch potato and nua my days awayyy. 

Oh, the luxury of holidays.

Wait, I'm resuming work on *gasp* Monday, going down to the CDC to register for driving on Tues and...ahhhhh, why can't I ever be freeee???
