Exams are finally over, phew! I think my c ap and perhaps sja p’s is gonna drop. Yea, prepared for the worse already. My grades are borderline so i guess i have to continue trying really hard next year so i can do honours.  Anyway, Fs’s coming up with some dumbass thai classes. Luckily swine flu seems to have become less serious so its still on! For a start, I  hope i won’t struggle with it like i did for german a long time ago.

Saturday i followed some students from taiwan around tiong bahru. I didn’t know tiong bahru has quite interesting houses! There was a guide telling our taiwan friends about housing in tiong bahru, i think it would be useful to listen but i was more interested in testing out my new camera :p Thereafter we split up and i went with 2 students to the marina barrage with boon k ian, concidentally the guy whom i was with when we went to little india last yr with another group of taiwan friends. Feel quite bad i couldn’t tell them more about the marina barrage or at least about singapore’s water management strategies. The most i could share with them was i ran across the barrage while running a half marathon last yr but i don’t think its even helpful for their assignment. Too bad!

The barrage has changed a lot since the first time i visited it while running the half marathon. Then, everything was just newly completed and the visitor’s centres and all those fancy educational stuff were not ready. When i visited it, it was a hive of activity with lots of people. Not my ideal hangout on an idle day. haha. I’m really looking forward to this yr’s army half. The flag off’s time at 5.30 so i have to figure out how to get there by then. Time to hit the ground running!

I have had enough rest. Its fun to finish 2 important papers on the first 2 days of exams and have 9 days till the next major paper. Gender was bad, hope i will at least get a b. Luckily tourism dvt was alright, i hope the asnswers i prepared for the past yr paper are correct. Pray that i’ll do well for td and env sust, the 2 geog mods which i put in effort for. Well, in the course of mugging for these 2 papers, i realized that my interest in geog lies in migration and tourism! Hope i make it to hons yr, then i can write a thesis on either topic Gender is not my thing i suppose but i enjoyed the module in the sense that it really helped me understand better why geog is the study of space. And i found feminist methodology useful because they approach research in a reflexive way, critiquing and analysing everything in the course of the research.

Now its time for to go into intensive studying mode again, considering i haven touched the readings for this ps module. And it would be dumb to throw this module away since i got more than a week to study. So yup. And i promised myself that after lousy gender on monday, i’ll make up for it by studying extra hard for this paper. So yeah!
