Countdown!

1.47pm 8 May 2006 Monday

Exams start tomorrow and I'm struggling with that dull achy cramp in my stomach. Periods follow Murphy's Laws to the tee - they come exactly when you've exams and a 30-hour flight. Unfortunately they also create an uneasy ambivalence to everything, exams and what not. See, me blogging this moment is a testament to that. In any case, I'm in a very comfortable position in most of my classes and I'm not going to throw that away, so after this I'll start on my paper.

So these couple of days have been pretty exciting for the two of us because H is applying to jobs and we're trying to figure out what happens if he is offered a job. We're flying this Friday and the house, bills and everything else needs to be in order. My mum requested for bath salts so we spent a day searching for them, and I found one that is supposed to be good for premenstrual syndrome. Hrm. I wonder what will happen if H takes that bath with me...

um what else. It's NBA season so we're pretty excited whenever the Phoenix Suns play. We were grabbing onto each other, covering our eyes in the last minutes of the game, screaming, shouting, yelling, etc. Last week they made an AMAZING comeback from 3-1 (best of 7 games) to beat the sucky/ arrogant/ obnoxious/ violent LA Lakers 4-3, which means that they won 3 games straight, and with a 30 point margin in the last game some more. Tonight they face the LA Clippers for the first time this season, so it'll be exciting to see what happens..

Nash, Sun's star player and this year's MVP, twisted his ankle the last game but hopefully he's better now. He's an oddball; very intelligent with kind (lazy) eyes; balding, stringy, longish hair which does nothing for him (I'd advise him to shave it to look more cool but then again, Nash is more like the class geek than star player); the shortest player on his team; and he's white! In a black dominated game! He has the most disgusting and quirky ritual that he performs at least 2 times before each free throw - he licks his right hand!!! Bleah. H says it's for traction (haha), but whatever it is, it works. He's ranked number 1 in free throws, an astounding 92.1% accuracy but eeeeee... And when he exits the stadium people usually run to give him a high-five! With a hand that he licked dunno how many times!!! Bleah.

Spent the rest of the afternoon reading about badminton. ahem. I think it's time for me to start revision...
