IELTS

Went to take the exam early in the morning today. Woke up at an unearthly hour, 6+am. It rained the moment I reached Orchard to take a bus to the PSB building whereby I had absolutely no idea where it was. Thank God for providing a kind soul who not only shared an umbrella with me, but also brought me to the building as she was taking the test too! Surprise surprise, people who took the test were all foreigners, including the kind lady who sheltered me. I felt out of place as they were all foreigners and looked so much older... ... Kept wondering if I came to the right place. During the test, I actually slept. It was relatively straight forward. Hope I'll do well. Anyway, there's still oral on Monday.
Guess what? After 3 hrs of English and all the effort spent in contacting the Malaysian university. I have came to the conclusion that I should not go after all. Though there is a sense of loss in not going to apply, I feel more at peace with myself. Why? Because I don't have the $ to apply and that means borrowing. If I can't even afford application fees... ... It's just troubling. I'll just pin my hopes on Australia. At least, it's safer and more reliable. Though it'll be a miracle if the bank actually loans me the $ or some heroic person is rich enough to save the damsel in distress. I leave it to God.
Came back and slack after that. Ate lunch by myself, but I was too absorbed in my chinese novel to care about being alone. Suppose being alone sometimes is not that bad, especially when you have a good book in hand! Dawn reading chinese novels?! Has the sun risen from the west? Hur Hur. No. Been chasing after "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" since secondary school, therefore I am now reading the last installment of the series. I can't stand watching the show because they cry too much... At least you can just quickly get over those parts when you are reading. By the way, I normally DON'T read chinese novels. This is an exception.
Went out again to meet "Mary" for dinner. Ate yummy tiramisu and more!! We are always eating. Going out with him means eating = weight gain. Thanks for listening to me though.

Passed by my work place. Was quite tempted to walk over to my boss and say hello. But.. I really didn't want to hear anymore about work. Also, I felt that by walking over it just seems rather mean of me. She's working and here I am enjoying myself strolling around. Though I knew she wanted me to take the break, but I still feel uneasy.
