Started by stereo-typically, Asians, Aaron Lynn and Thanh Pham, the blog is similar to what Lifehacker has offered to me so far. But having more life hacks on my list of to-reads would do no harm.
The title itself is already eye-catching. The common "myth" of efficiency and genius of Asians. If you read the posts, I can say that it carries the title well. Good links, sufficient support of facts and most definitely important, helpful.
Mondays aren't that bad after all. In fact, I don't really jump onto the Monday Blues bandwagon. I believe and will always be positive about the start of the week.
So first thing in the morning, I was informed by one of my students that the deposit was paid (finally!) And it was like....
And later in the afternoon, there was another anxious moment, when I have to collect the visa of another student. Anxious because it will be my first student to get a visa to the UK and the case ain't straight forward. So 30 minutes of waiting in visa centre was giving me the jitters. There are many unnecessary what-ifs in my head, but it turned out just fine. And it was like....
Next up it was a us vs. others moment, where student is only interested in two universities, with only one of them has affiliations with us. So intense and last minute preparations were made for a great presentation. And it turns out, way before I have the chance to present all my points to convince, she has already made her choice. And the choice is what everyone would have wanted it to be. And it was like....
So there you go. Monday ain't that bad, was it? It has been a tough year, so hopefully days like this will be more of the rule rather than the exception.
I think it is time to reflect upon the major decision that has been made since last October. 3 more months and off I go. For self-enhancement, to put it bluntly.
A lot of people will comment somewhere between this lines: "Wah, song loh. Can go oversea leh. I oso wan." or "U so lucky. Can go study again."
Let me tell you this, it is not as "song" as you think it will be. This is a responsibility and with it, comes with the burden and expectations from every corner of your life. It comes with questions. Questions that needed to be answered by yourself, like " What are you gonna do after this?" "Will it be worth it?" "Why this course?" and "Can you make it?"
And not to forget the responsibility to la familia. After all, they are the ones who made this possible all the while. It is an investment. And as the concept of investment goes, it can turn good or bad, possibly with dramatic effects. I guess, it is You Win or You Die, dramatically speaking. What is in for the parents? I can't really promise them alot of things. But what I can promise is, I will do my best in what I do.
The Game of Thrones has just ended for its second season. And if the dates are to follow the previous seasons, we have another 300+ days to go for the next season. 300 days and counting.
The show has an awesome cast. The Starks, Lannisters, Tyrells, Boltons...Hodor....blabla. However, I would like to bring attention to the latest on my list of yums (apart from Emilia Clarke with brunette hair): Rose Leslie.
And who was she on GoT? The wildling and spearwoman, Ygritte.
Not exactly a Wildling face that you are expecting. I would have thought her as a lovely princess in any Great Houses of Westeros on the series. But yea, she is one of the Wildlings. Better than being one of the whores of GoT.
Pretty sure there are comments about why such a beauty was cast on a tribe Beyond the Wall. We all expect Wildlings women to look like Osha (Natalia Lena). But hey, everywhere needs a beauty. And if she was known to the Seven Kingdoms, I am sure lots of Westorosi will take flight to the North pronto.
Leslie not being Ygritte. Still yum.
She has a sexy and a tad husky voice and accent (similar to those from Scotland and Scouse in nature). Her taunts on Jon Snow are just simply epic. Here is one of them, though you have to watch the whole scene on this in S02E07, to get the full LMFAO moment.
And if you are wondering how similar Ms Leslie is to her character. Here is a video of her being interviewed:
Seven minutes of gratifying moment. Can't wait to see more of her on Season 3.
