Nobody could possibly hate Econs the way I hate Econs right now, trust me, nobody. And yet, at the same time, I still want a decent grade for the darn subject. ahhhh. This world is never a fair place.

The only fair thing in this world? Love. Sighh. I miss Mr.F loads and loads, and I'd be eternally grateful to the Higher Powers for just granting me a buka-puasa date and some time to unwind with the Sweetheart. *sobs- I try to control the tears, but sometimes, the magnitude of how much I miss him hits me so hard and I find myself getting so emotional and down and out..

School is such a chore. I know, I know, I keep ranting on and on about school, but I just can't help it. It's just driving me up the wall, all these essays to disect, mcq's (ok this is my fault for not doing it sooner) to complete, extraextra lessons with S.A.D and goshh, add lack of sleep to all of that and a growling tummy by 10am plus a girlie suffering from missingitis, and you get a Shereen ):

So anyhoooos, today a certain girlie pointed out to me that I'm very observant. Mmm, well, I can't help but be observant, but then again, she's quite observant too and while everyone else thought I was kidding around, she was the only one who picked up on my sarcastic-humor (if there ever is such a thing). hahaha, but it's very fun to be quite sometimes and observe stuff. Oh, the things I've observed will send shivers up your spine! (ha ha ha , so the drama)

What an hour to be blogging, what more, online. ha ha ha. Self amusement is necessary for man's pathetic survival I suppose. 

While my class is trudging to school for PE (and while I can and should be sleeping), I'm up blogging before I go to the doctor later at 0830 hours. Being sick just before the start of Ramadhan is never a good thing, especially when you get something like stomach flu, because it messes up your insides, and makes it so difficult to stomach food at 0445 hours and later, when you break your fast in the evening. 

Ramadhan has started, and with every Ramadhan comes a new set of challenges, putting faith and trust to the test (: Insyallah , we'll all find that faith that has always been there and trust in our instincts (: I guess, this is what they say when they talk about how life is never easy and we'll always be faced with obstacles in life. Scary, but true. 

Is it just me or is this week passing by oh-so-slowly. I can't quite decide whether I like slow days or fast paced days. The former is just comforting because it makes me feel like I've accomplished more revision in a day and the latter, well leaves me hyperventilating because I'm afraid I won't be able to perform when the time comes. 

School has been tiring. My whole academic life now revolves around nothing but Econs, and I feel so sad, because I hear Human Geography calling out to me and begging to be brushed up upon. Only God knows how much I look forward to and enjoy doing Human Geography and how Economics is just pure torture. But intensive back-to-basics sessions with S.A.D seems to be doing some good, and I hope that at the end of the day, it brings rewards , Insyallah.

So yesterday over dinner, the topic of NS suddenly came up , and of course, Mr.F's name was mentioned, and when he's going to come over and break fast with us and all and then Imran said that in about 3 years he'd be serving the nation and starting whining and whining. hahaha. My brother then told got quite hilarious as he talked about how he had to all send him off to Tekong and then my Mother teased him about having a gf by the time he was 18 and having his gf send him off at PSR interchange on Sundays, and guess what the smart ass said ?

" Eh, please ah, don't have me live out your fantasy Bujan (Shereen)" 

Heh.

Okay, I've returned, temperorily I think. It's just that I'm home relatively early today, so I've got the energy to update my blog. hahaha. So many things has happened in the last 2-3 weeks that I don't really know where to start.

Holidays are the best time to meet up with people, I think. So I spent my September holidays (prelims were over!!) meeting up with Shehnas and Mrs.Mano - both of whom who have completely dissapeared and died on me leaving me quite baffled at their sudden exits. garh. Anyhoos, I don't have any pictures from my meeting with the latter 'cept for a picture of the rose and card that I made her for teachers day (and convieniently deleted on my way home from school just now) while I have a truckload of pictures with the former, some of which I shall post up here (the more flattering ones of course). Well, if anyone of those two abovementioned people read this, do kindly give me a call, 'cuz I've been calling and you're both not replying!!

Shehnas and me @ Seoul Garden

Also, Prelims were somewhat a so-so event. I passed what I was supposed to and dissapointed myself quite abit in one particular subject. The results overall were below expectations and I'm pretty sad because for some subjects, I really did put in the effort. Sigh, hopefully, in the long run, it will prove to be fruitful, I hope. But well, there's no use crying over spilt milk is there? Now, all I want to do is just think of the ultimate goal in mind, and post A levels.

Speaking of post A levels, my attempts to boycott prom has proven unfruitful. I was actually pin-pointed for being all anti-class and not having class spirit and all, and then, have the same person  who said that to me do exactly what I wanted to do in the first place. It really pissed me off and having to keep my cool and vent my anger all at the same time, was really hard. But fuck it, it's less than a month till school ends and I really don't give a flying fuck if person wants to hate me. heh. Well, the only consolation is that people who make me laugh in class (i.e. the whole group of girls in my class minus the few who arent going) are going to prom PLUS the fact that my class has decided to be different all make a statement during prom. But I think everyone sitting at the table knew I wasn't really kidding when I made that half sarcastic , half joking and all angry comment. 

Mmm, my cousin celebrated her 21st birthday on Sunday (: Happy 21st Shona! I hope you had a smashin' birthday and celebrated it, your way. I don't know if you still read this livejournal but yeah, if you do , Happy Belated (:

Speaking of Sunday, this Sunday marks the start of Ramadhan. The great thing about Ramadhan is , is means Hari Raya is just one month away! Read : Goodies, cookies and Money! But on the other hand, it means less time with The Sweetheart, and it also means that at the end of Ramadhan, it'll mean that the A's are 2 weeks away ):

Speaking of which, I've had many Alevel themed dreams this week - starting from a mini-nightmare with my Econs tutor taking over my dreams to dreaming of taking my results next year. While the former left me shaking and shook me from a deep sleep, the latter made me feel quite determined to achieve those grades I dreamt off, right Desiree? haha, yes, I dreamt of her grades too. 

Classmates make the lessons less boring , and little chit-chats that you have with people just make you realise how fortunate and lucky you are despite everything. Sometimes, when the girls sit and get together and we talk about love, and how sometimes girls get cheated or toyed around with, I find myself feeling immensely grateful for finding The One person who loves, cherishes and respects me and who makes me feel all special and princessy (: On the other hand, it makes me sad seeing as to how sometimes people are just too blind to see what's NOT there. A little chat I had with a classmate today made me realise how sometimes the presence of that special someone in your life just makes everything alright. There and then in Literature, I found myself saying a silent Thank You to the Higher Powers for blessing me with Love. It was just a fresh insight into things and just made me miss the Sweetheart even more than I already do..

And lastly, I am quite possibly the 10th person in my class of 19th to have caught the flu bug and am falling horribly sick because right now, my body is aching like crazy and my head is spinning. Let's not forget that my throat is all scratchy and sore right as I type this ):

p.s I have quite a few more pictures but am too lazy to put them up. and also cuz no one comments on my picture posts ): But if you do wanna see pics, then comment and tell me! (:
