Studying with Jadey
I'm so relieved that general paper's papers are over! And of course I hope to do well..
essay question: Compulsory education will solve poverty in any society. Do you agree?
Of course I disagree! Yup..Question 5..most popular..most common question, which the examiners will most probably mark down. But! I've always been choosing the safe option and well..this time is no exception. I mean..At least I feel better writing about something I know and have learnt..rather than a general question.
THough I did contemplate about doing..
Question: Marriage is the antidote to the drudgery of modern life. Do you agree?
Actually, I disagree..!! I think marriage creates more problems, and more unhappiness. See the divorce rates these days? People simply cannot find their soul mate anymore! Everyday, you hear about couples fighting over stupid stuff like buying the wrong brand of toothpaste. If they really love their spouse or partner as much as they had claimed (think wedding vows..), why would they file for divorce because of toothpaste?! where's the love!!??!!
It's funny how all this is coming from someone (me) who wants at least 6 children.. (oh, my lucky future mother-in-law is going to be so elated!) I mean..it's not that I suffer from an unhappy childhood..and don't have any more faith in marriages. It's not that I don't believe in loving someone and being loved, and living happily ever after... (which would totally contradict reality) I guess I just fear the unknown.. That's all. I fear that I would not be a good mother, wife and fail as a great cook.. haiya..
Digress too much..what was I talking about...oh antidote to drudgery..
But drudgery means the mundane-ness and routine like system of things right? So..marriage IS the antidote..because it frees people from the same everyday schedule with it's problems and whatnots. Hence, making life more exciting and unpredictable, except in a negative way. See..marriage induces extra-marital affairs, baby problems..payment for the car, the house..the dog. Okay..I change my opinion. Marriage IS the antidote. Only to make life not as boring as it is.
So yeah...that was essay, paper one.
Paper two was..not very easy..but I got through it alright.
Then it's off to the airport becuse I'm flew to Germany to watch the finals!! And Germany is out b.t.w. hahaha!!! quite poor things considering they only had to hold out 2 more minutes to penalty kick out. Oh well..but if they are meant to lose, they would have lost 4-5 in the penalty kick out anyway.. Anyway..YUP!! I'M IN GERMANY!!!
Yeah right.
Two more papers to go after econs tomorrow..Finals in germany?? In my dreams.
This entry seem to have no relation with its title. But nvm..shall continue.
Back to the airport. Studying with Jade is...Unproductive. WE both agree..completely! I mean..with the outragously loud commercials and weird characters( Indian guy who was speaking so loudly into his mobile I could hear every word of their conversation! He was bitching about his mother!!) popping up every so often.. How were we going to get our heads down to the central problems of economics?
Unproductive in terms of studies..actually not completely..I did finish going through all my tutorials. But had a great time savouring superb laksa..and laughing my ass off at her rubber face and basically, ourselves.. I have jessicca alba's abs now!
At the end of the day, we promised to never study together again!!
The conclusion? I'll call on Jade if I ever need a laugh!! ( JAdey!! of course not only then la..if you don't mind I'll pester you every hour of the day!!)
