"The last bit of fun for me before d-day... "
I finally got my exam schedule yesterday and i must say i hate August 2005...actually, i hate 2005....full of traumatic experiences despite some sprinkles of good cheer here and there. And my unlucky numbers for this year are August 8, 15, 22 and 25!!! Damn....an exam juz about every monday in August.  I think i can actually feel a migraine building up juz thinking bout them.
Though 2005 has been relatively shitty, i have learnt a fair bit:
* especially the pain i had inflicted on others in the past
* and hence the existence of karma,
* that there is more grey than absolute black and white in life (though i've always believed that there are no absolutes, i guess my beliefs have been further confirmed),
* you often cant rely on anyone apart from yourself,
* when you're in a relationship NEVER let yourself believe that it'll last forever....in past relationships at some point i always said to myself that this may be it, but i've learnt that life ain't that easy...better to stay on your toes and have your bags packed ready to move on, at least emotionally..heheh
* to not judge others when i do not agree with their actions as i am probably unaware of the whole nature of their situation and there may be other factors influencing their actions/decisions
* and the scariest thing....i'm more selfish and immoral than i ever thought i was. The power of the dark side can juz be so tempting....heheh
Watched Batman Begins on sunday. What can i say....home made weapons, learning ninja skills from the orient (so cliche and typical of western movies these days - lately farangs just have this trendy fascination for the exotic orient!), a crude looking tank for the bat mobile whose brakes don't function, the first bat signal in the night sky created by tying a criminal up with lots of extra black cloth (wonder how long that took him to get right) ....to sum it up , "Graceless Batman", i suppose. I actually heard a Thai on the street say ˹ѧàÃ×èͧ¹ÕéÁѹ sucks ÇèÐ. Sorry Paddy, all this must be breaking your heart, but it is a matter of opinion. Reminded me of the first part of Spiderman actually. I guess all the superheroes have to start off clumsy and graceless. Still, those were my first impressions when i was watching it. Overall, i think it was alright. Christian Bale and Katie Holmes weren't bad...loved Alfred.
Spent a few days with Siri while she was here. Was wonderful having her here. We caught up on a lot things and seems like she's quite happy with life at the moment and i'm so glad for her.
Below are some pics from my college's Thai Society BBQ. The weather's warming up in London so we had a last get together, though we picked a day that was kinda gloomy.....otherwise the UK's warmed up perhaps a little too much...hit 30 degrees celcius over the weekend and many buildings here dont have AC, like my room and the library i frequent for instance. I know, i know...i come from a tropical climate and i'm complaining about the heat in Europe...juz a miserable 30 degrees and often less....but u guyz with AC dont know how it feels without it!!!
  
What everyone was here for!!! nah... P'Khem and I striking some kinda pose Kris, Earth, me, P'Khem and P'Jeab
