sigh. and the minute i try to be decisive and not vacillate too much, i go and do this quiz...
Auditory : 56%
Visual : 43%
Left : 52%
Right : 47%
Ailin, your hemispheric dominance is equally divided between left and right brain, while you show a moderate preference for auditory versus visual learning, signs of a balanced and flexible person.
Your balance gives you the enviable capacity to be verbal and literate while retaining a certain "flair" and individuality. You are logical and compliant but only to a degree. You are organized without being compulsive, goal-directed without being driven, and a "thinking" individual without being excessively so.
The one problem you might have is that your learning might not be as efficient as you would like. At times you will work from the specific to the general, while at other times you'll work from the general to the specific. Sometimes you will be logical in your approach while at other times random. Since you cannot always control the choice, you may experience frustrations not normally felt by persons with a more defined and directed learning style.
You may also minimally experience conflicts associated with auditory processing. You will be systematic and sequential in your processing of information, you will most often focus on a single dimension of the problem or material, and you will be more reflective, i.e., "taking the data in" as opposed to "devouring" it.
Overall, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are, perhaps, a little too critical of yourself - and of others - while maintaining an "openness" which is redeeming. Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity is not in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, the more obvious and the more functional.

well, singapore idol's been aiiiight so far... only jeassea really stood out. am quite disappointed at olinda's lack of range, but am mildly intrigued by david (what is it about him that just makes people like him so?) anyways, voted about twice for each of them. damn singtel won't sponsor the calls, so am mildly put off by that. :( it takes the motivation out of voting. in fact, the whole show seemed rather dull and uninspiring.
got my accommodation package in the mail yesterday. am now i member of James College. where i'll be living in a room like this (you need quicktime to view the panorama), which is part of a flat with 8 rooms and one kitchen. i'm pretty happy with the accommodation and all... but am mildly perturbed by some comments on the forum. one girl mentioned that james college is better than alcuin college because "my friend stayed in alcuin and was the only non-international student there." it just seems... mildly pro-brittania and subtly anti-international student. and i don't really blame them or anything, but i'm just worried i won't be able to fit in, or can't really socialise cos i don't partake in activities like boozing, par-taying, and pub crawls (in which you venture to have a pint in every pub in the area and end up having to crawl home dead drunk.) i'm... (sadly) a good girl. i don't like parties unless i have really really good friends with me. i don't like the taste of alcohol. i don't like dancing manically. i'm not wild. i, despite whatever posturings i may adopt to save face in public, am a nice (but boring, admittedly,) good girl. crap-o-rama. sigh.
still, james seems like a lovely lovely place. gorgeous scenery of the lake, tonnes of social activities, clean and new rooms.
been pondering a lot about my future lately. i realise that a lot of times i want something, but i never dare to pursue it to the best of my abilities because i don't want to seem too desperate and because i want to spare myself the humiliation and disappointment... but the thing is, if i don't try- i get no where. if i try - i might still get no where. pessimistic, maybe. i like to call it realism. damned if you do, damned if you don't.
but i realise my time is running out. if i want to set up a life i can be proud to lead in the future, i have got to try taking chances NOW. i will partake actively in the things that i'm interested in. i will take chances. i will try.
eep.

and ronald susilo crash and burns... sigh. (mutters random curses directed at thai badminton players) it's just so heartbreaking because beyond all that million dollar olympic medal scheme and glamour and hype, he's just a boy trying to win an olympic medal.
:(
anyway, j k rowling's posted a sentence from book 6 up on her site. just get to the room behind the door and solve the puzzles... if you're too lazy to however, never fear, intrepid readers. just highlight below:
He looked rather like an old lion. There were streaks of gray in his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows; he had keen yellowish eyes behind a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy, loping grace even though he walked with a limp.
interesting, no?

just read an interview off The Leaky Cauldron with a Professor Edmund Kern who wrote a book on Harry Potter criticism called The Wisdom of Harry Potter: What our favorite hero teaches us about moral choices. it's a really good read, and is a fantastic defense of harry potter and rowling, without sounding overtly-fanatical. you can read it here.
also, have just found out i do have to apply separately for a foreign language at york myself, despite it already being a prerequisite in my course... am torn between spanish and french. if i study spanish, i'll study the works of Garcia Lorca, which is really pretty... but if i study french, i'll study the works of Marguerite Duras and Georges Perec, which are fantastically modern and fascinating too... and french is a more practical choice, seeing as it is the United Nation's language of choice. -_- bah.
any opinions?

-brightly- well, that was a long break, wasn't it?
have been busy busy preparing for england... used the national day weekend sales to buy stuff, like a rice cum porridge cooker (ooh, there's a dirty little joke to be made... but i won't.) and a frying pan, and a winter coat, and sweaters... it feels kinda freaky... sometimes it looks set to be really exciting, sometimes it's terrifying just thinking about how smart the people are going to be (and as a side note, i haven't read a single reading list book yet... hrm.) and ultimately at the end of the day, there's this sadness... like how my life is going to be packed neatly into little cartons and shipped off to Mother England. i've grown closer to my parents these past months... and mom tends to get all teary everytime we mention the Final Goodbye. but that's life isn't it? dreaming of the future while endlessly glancing back at the past.
anyways, -waves away the clouds of melancholia- ich, poor spleen. have been drawing a biiit these few days... with my chinese crayon. it's quite bizarre. what sparked this off was actually howard dean demonstrating the most disgusting show of partisanship on cnn... and in a fit of anger... i drew things completely unrelated to american politics. (don't look at me, my mind works in odd ways.)
here's nuala channeling dorothy.
and a lovely lass afflicted with pinkerton syndrome and sure to take her life as that cowardly cad of an ang moh drags her son away.
and then there is...
erk. that's all... need sleep... been sleeping less than 5 hours this past week. -snuffles-

because i bizarrely really liked the picture of rukia that i drew, i made a [depressive] blog layout out of it. go me. and
look-- so many
shades of grey! and the font used on the separator is goodbye cruel world. isn't this just a basketful of sunshine.
depressive header title is the title of the instrumental theme that plays in the episode where rukia
leaves karakura for soul society.
kuchiki rukia is from the manga/anime series Bleach and belongs to Kubo Taito, yo. art belongs to meMeME.

ai is a struggling and penniless university student alternating her time between humid ol singapore, and freezing |
sweltering* york, england. she has finally hit the big two-oh, and everyday she weeps and beats her breast, and sighs, and
heaves, and cries herself to sleep for the wild and feckless youth she never had. she now spends her time wondering about
authors and readers and texts, and how they all annihilate each other. she's had a pleasant life, the one we've all had,
filled to the brim with the love of absent things. (she also loves alfian sa'at's poetry, in case you hadn't noticed.) if you
think you can make her toes laugh, or if this blog has been your secret guilty pleasure, do feel free to find her at hotmail or yahoo
