Happy/sad?
February 18, 2008 Sad Suet, Serious Suet 26 CommentsToday I achieved Nirvana.
After printing all my readings and after reading 2 chapters of 90 pages of the smallest print you’d have ever seen, I finally came to an important realization. I was so close to dropping the class and call it quits but that got me thinking. I really really like this class, Rise of China, which is about issues China is facing now. The lectures are interesting but the readings are pretty tough. We have to write a paper each week (albeit only 1 page) and a final paper later.
With my current very very heavy workload, it’s impossible to read everything and write a good paper every week. And that was when I achieved the state of absolute harmony, stability and joy. ohm. All these years, through primary school, through high school, through a level, all I ever cared about was getting good grades. I must always get at least 7 out of 10 As in each exam, always get top 3, always do this that but I totally missed out what’s so utterly important here. I always want/need/must get good grades but are grades really that important? (wah damn serious wtf like essay for English SPM on “do grades matter?”)
No they don’t. What I said in my 5 page essay in high school weren’t what I really meant cause I was still as kiasu as always even after writing that essay. But now, I can firmly tell you that I finally understand the meaning of learning. People here don’t care about grades at all. The only people who will ask you what your GPA is are the Chinese seriously. They are the only thick-faced hooligans going around campus demanding to know everyone’s gpa and at the same time, boast about their 4.0.
But I shall not be one of them anymore because I have achieved Nirvana wtf. I shall now take classes not cause I must get an A but cause I’m here to learn. ohm… I will try my best but if I don’t get great results, then who cares? right right?? sigh make me happy lah everyone wtf.

I’m sad cause I have no money left T_________T After leaving aside some money to buy my flight home, some money to buy stuff for my family and close friends (everyone please don’t expect me to buy stuff back you think I’m on holiday is it must buy souvenirs wtf), some money to last me for the whole of next semester (cause I don’t wanna ask more money from my parents T_T), I officially have -$100 in my bank.
Some more I’m so stupid dunno why was I so kind the other day cause I told my mom to give all my angpow money to my siblings T____T RM270 gone T__T She asked me three times if I was sure cause she knows how important money is to me wtf but I said “of course I’m sure, give them lah since I love them so much” what got into me! Suddenly became such a good sister wtf
I also got fined by the stupid bank cause I used more than what I had in my account T___T fined $40 ok can buy 4 dresses omg I’m so sad. I wanted to sue them saying how can they allow me to use more in the first place when it was a debit card, not credit, but suing takes a lot of money so I gave up..
The only way to get more money is by working harder in the kitchen wtf but I don’t have time to work T____T I have at least 100 pages to read every week, 2 hours of french work everyday, french quizzes twice a week, a paper to write every week, one confucius book to read and a paper, and THREE freaking midterms coming up. I’m dead meat.
Listing these down makes me feel more nervous omg I have two papers due next 3 weeks and they both require so much research beforehand omg is this how college life is like omg i’m panicking like crazy i’ll go sleep now to calm down!!!!!!@$!%$!%!

Seriously if there is one person who is more aunty than me it’s Shanshan wtf. She will ask me to sleep every night and will nag and nag until I really give up on life and go sleep wtf.
If I complain that I have a lot of work (which I will never do again), she sits there and makes sure I do all my work. If I start chatting or reading blogs, she’ll clear her throat loudly and ask me to do work. Is this a healthy relationship? I’m starting to have doubts wtf.
