Saya kurang baik. 

I ought to feel relieved now that the crazy mid term tests are over. 

In a way, I am. 

But in addition, I feel like shit. 

[Pardon me if I write very strangely because my mind is filled with bahasa indonesia and I can't seem to think in english]

1. SICK.

Yes. 

This morning I woke up feeling absolutely horrible. 

Headache, stuffed nose, sore throat... 

All the signs of an impending cold. 

And so, I had to force myself to do some last-minute revision plus drag my feet to school for the 6-8pm bahasa indonesia test. 

2. DREADFUL TESTS.

I don't know why, but it seems like this series of mid term tests were the most dreadful ones ever. 

Either my brain is gradually degenerating or my sluggishness has seeped into my work performance. 

I'm rather speechless with regards to how I approached several tests and it's just depressing whenever I think about it. 

I'd rather not get my results back.

3. SLUGGISHNESS.

Impossibly lethargic.

I don't know what's wrong with me but I've been in a perpetually-down mood lately (from emotions lecture: a particular mood can last from days to months).

It's terrible because it sucks the energy out of me, leaving me sucked dry and very very unmotivated to do anything. 

On a side note, if it gets too serious, it can be a sign of depression. (?!?!)

Right. Time to snap out of it.
I really hope this short break from school work can spur me on for the many more weeks to come. 

4. MEMBACA NOVEL.

I finished 'Beautiful Child' by Torey Hayden and it touched me so much. 

Well, the thing is, it's non-fiction. 

Torey's just amazing. :)

And I've started reading the critically acclaimed 'Sarah's Key' by Tatiana de Rosnay.

I shall watch the film only after finishing the novel :)

5. LATE NIGHT ALUMNI

This song can be so addicting.
But it really relaxes me a whole lot.

6. Tea makes me happy.

Mabel always stares at me whenever I update her on the rather out-of-ordinary (her definition) teas that I drink.
Like melon, honeydew, berries, vanilla bourbon, elderflower&cranberries, ginger&lemongrass etc etc.

lovely melon tea.
Have been looking for this particular brand -Tea Drip. Anyone?

Starbucks @ u-town

Jasmine Orange tea. :) 

Tea from M&S! :)

But well, nothing tops the good ol' green tea/japanese sencha/genmaicha.

I like light and refreshing teas and I try to keep away from black/red teas. 

I'm a real sucker for green tea/herbal infusion/fruit infusion teas. 

I'm definitely not a tea connoisseur. 

I just like whatever that tastes good to me.

7. SIGMUND FREUD AND CARL JUNG

Of course I'm watching this!!!
All psych majors should!

Reminds me of all the psychosexual stages of development, psychoanalysis, id, ego, superego, oedipus complex...

 Despite all the harsh criticisms against his theories, he has always been a rather intriguing character to me. 

oh, and the actors really do resemble them.


8. To end off,

DH & G's wedding at Church of St. Francis Xavier

Instantly elicits this sense of calmness within me.
