My 2-cents worth: Amazing movie embellished with top-notch performance by AB Sr and Jr and AB daughter-in-law. The dialouges were power packed and meaningful. Although the movie was short it was engaging enough to not seem like a rushed or half baked affair. Like the first movie Tanisha was hardly in the movie. But the time she was she looked pretty.

I survived the exams and my BSM

Like promised, having survived my exams I am back to blog. The exam week was.... very unlike the other 5 exam weeks I have had at SMU. It felt doable, survivable and conquerable.

There was no last minute dash to complete syllabus (for at least for 3 of my 4 exams). I wasn't feeling as stressed as I always do. I had more than my exam usual 3-4 hours of sleep each night. I didn't break out into cold sweat sitting in the exam hall and I managed to complete the exam papers (all except for 1). All in all it felt good completing the last paper. I knew I had put in my best and just prayed that my hardwork would be rewarded.

On the last day of my exam I was woken up by mom. She was really cute as she woke me up saying "Wake up beta, end of year 3!". Isn't my mother the best?! I seriously love her. She puts no pressure on me for my studies. She accepts my results without a question. She tolerates my mood swings, my messy room and my erratic behavior around the exam time. Best of all she supports me through everything. She is the best mom I could ever want!

My messy study table that only unfolds during exams

It is an utter mess..

Anyways my results are out and I cleared all my exams. *woohooo* I'm officially done with year 3. It proved to be the longest year in SMU with the normal term, modified term and term 3A. Now I am getting geared for summer school at LSE and the final forth year at SMU.

My 2-cents worth: I loved the movie.. It is the perfect movie to watch with female friends. I loved the strength of the friendship between the 4 characters. The beautiful clothes and shoes are of course an added bonus. Though I must say Sarah looked manly at many points.

My 2-cents worth: Amazing acting by AB Sr and Jr, as well as by Kay Kay. Katrina was hardly there. I liked the story though the pacing could have been faster.. The story dragged in the beginning

My 2-cents worth: The in flight move was without songs so I missed the famous "billo rani" song. But the movie was entertaining. Loved John's naughty expressions, such a killer.. *sign*

End of "Calm before the storm"

So it is 1st of June 2008 today, the start of yet another month.

The onset of June also means that tomorrow morning is my first exam.. I am not entirely nervous. But the fact that I am not nervous is making me slightly nervous. Crazy am I not?

At this point of time I am just desperately praying for my 4 exams to go smoothly and get over fast! Though not that fast that I don't get enough time during the exam itself.. If you know what I mean. Anyways I can't wait to officially get done with 3rd year at SMU. I will be just 1 year away from graduation. That in itself is another bittersweet event creeping into my life.

However before that I have many other things to look forward to. The 1st of which is my BSM to Scandinavia!! *wooohoooo* Less than a week now. I am so excited. I have finally opened up my suitcase and starting thinking of what all I want to bring with me to the other side of the globe. That brings me to the highly intriguing fact that I seemed to have misplaced 1 pair of shoes and my brand new deck of UNO cards in the house! I am totally baffled. I just hope I can find the UNO cards before Saturday as I want to have the safety of UNO cards to keep me entertained on the Scandinavia trip.

Anyways as the title of this post says, I am bracing myself for the storm to hit tomorrow at 9am. Wish me luck! Hopefully I will survive and be back to blog about my survival stories :D

Let me leave with this group photo of the BSM group with the Danish ambassador. It was taken when she visited us during 1 of our seminars.
