Errands!

I sat for my final paper this morning: Politics of Pcific Asia. I have to say I had a good time comparing Asian and Western values and heavily criticising the latter. It was also fun to brag about Southeast Asia, naturally.

I'm officially done with second year. Have I been in England that long? Apparently so. Although I must say it seems as if yesterday I was a Fresher. I'm enjoying my last few bits of being a Liver's-Out. And soon enough I'll be a Finalist. Hold that thought, it sounds scary. Moving on...

I'm just really glad I've finished all 6 papers in 3 weeks, without any difficulties along the way. It's weird though that I'm not feeling all that liberated and relieved. It's like I'm not entirely happy about the current state. Very very weird indeed. But maybe it takes a while for the joyous feeling to kick in. After all, I wasn't acting like a star student all year round, more like the 'slack' student who proscrastinates all the time. But now that I'm done, I still have a lot of errands to run.

Library books need to be returned. They are way overdued. I need to finalise my Prague and Vienna trip. I need to start packing my things. I need to get empty boxes, first. Then plan for my Lille trip. Need to submit the early registrationg forms and the dissertation form. But before that, must pick a dissertation topic first.

And I've no clue at the moment.

I'm gonna go and waste time by watching shows. Also I'm very delighted that my DAMS stash jus arrived! Although I should have a picked a size smaller for my pink polo. But I'm still proud of my work. No other Malaysian society in the whole of UK has their stash personalised the way I did them. The polo shirts are so cute and funky I swear! I'm really proud as to how much DAMS has progressed.

P/S: DAMS is my little precious I co-created with Aimee. We are the proud founders of Durham University's Malaysian Society. We decided to start the society in our first year and it's duly ratified. Although I must point out that in 2006 the number of Malaysians in Durham could be counted by just one hand. I then took it a step further and call ourselves Durham Association of Malaysian Students (DAMS). I can't stop smiling =)

I've been blogging since forever. just not consistently.

MalSoc sounds like - malfunctioned society. DAMS is way cooler! For all the cool people in Durham! Haha
