Not very.)

The mini Ferris wheel!


Kenneth and I SCRRREEEEAMED so loudly throughout the entire ride (it was a long ride) just to scare all the kids waiting in line below hehehe. I bet people could hear us from a mile away.


It wasn't a great Ferris wheel, but we made it really, really, really fun. AHHHHHH!!!


Ok picture overload! I'm so sleepy because we just arrived back from NYC this morning at 5 am. Yawn. Really drowsy. Gotta rush out some assignments and boohoo, fall break will be over tonight. ):

*465 - PRELIMS are over :D

I really thank God for pulling me through with minimal self-effort and maximum God-effort. People who were studying with me know that I started on every subject much later than everyone else / than I ought to, and spent a lot of time in between doing ridiculous this like sleeping the days away, going for the Apple Festival, chillin' with S until the sun set just the day before I had my 2 major prelims, not studying any lectures/textbook readings for HA174 until 2 hours before the exam ...

But I guess after the whole CRAM-2-years-worth-of-studying-into-one-major-major-my-life-depends-on-this-exam (A Levels) made cram-1-month-into-a-not-so-major-exam pale in comparison. (Thank you Singapore education system, just this once.)

Just trust God and chill. That's my key to doing well. (: (Admittedly, I have to work on that myself; I tend to stress out at the last minute. Trust and chill, Evelyn!)

Post-prelims have been suh-weet so far, I actually slept 8 hours the night after my prelims and have since been doing the barest minimum work that I can possibly get away with and still do well (it's a very fine balance that takes great skill hahaha) and spending all my remaining time hanging out and having fun in my own little ways.

Oh crap I just looked over the previous sentence and thought to myself "simple compounds do not need commas" and evidently, Prof Snow is taking over my life. (This sentence actually needs another comma in front of the coordinating conjuction but I shan't put it in as a sign of rebellion).

Overcast sky


On the way to school


The statue right outside Statler.
(The flaccidity vs warrior body is suppose to represent something,
but I can't recall what.)


Me and my mini fridge,
both of which fit underneath my bed :D


The architecture hall, which cracks me up because of the sign in the window.
(SAVE US!)
