So I haven’t been on this blog for a while, due to the ease of tumblr during these very past hectic weeks. I’ve got one more (technically 2) exams left. This time on chemistry, and for some strange reason, I can’t seem to get through revision without the need for caffeine. Never mind the fact I’ve been sleeping a good 12 hours a night.

Exams have been going okay so far. Maths could have gone better. Infact, so could have economics. The last thursday being the panicking day, when I had to learn for a synopic paper within one night. Which, saying that, I was pretty impressed with myself that I had managed to do it, for when I sat the exam the next day. It felt okay. I knew what I was talking about, which was a good sign. I hope.

So what’s left? Chemistry. That’s it. Then I’m over. Finished. Done, and I’ve got a nervous wait till August the 14th when I get my results and they tell me which university I got into, or whether or not I’m in limbo.

Ash seems to like tagging me in these things we like to call meme, so onto another lot of them.

Inspiring Song Meme:-

“Think of THE song that most inspires you to write to do things, whether it gives you an idea for a story, script or just puts you into a better frame of mind AND/OR peek into the lyrics and find a verse that sums up the theme of whatever project it is you’re working on.

If possible, post a video of the song to convey to readers the full context of the song and the mood it puts you into. Finally, send the assignment to five other writers to do as well.”

1) Breathe - Michelle Branch

I’ve been driving for an hour, just talking to the rain, You say I’ve been driving you crazy and it’s keeping you away, so just give me one good reason, tell me why I should stay, ‘Cause I don’t wanna waste another moment in saying things we never meant to say.

2) Crash and Burn - Savage Garden

Let me be the one you call, If you jump I’ll break your fall, Lift you up and fly away with you into the night, If you need to fall apart, I can mend a broken heart, If you need to crash then crash and burn, You’re not alone.

3) Song for the lonely - Cher

Though love don’t need a reason, She can pick you up or leave you bleeding, I’ve seen a strong man cry, I know the reason why, We all forgive, we all forget, We just keep believing.

4) Summer Sun - Texas

Here comes the winter’s rain, To cleanse my skin, I wake again, I’m over you

5) So Beautiful - Savage Garden

I have lost my illusions, I have drowned in your words, I have left my confusion to a cynical world, I am throwing myself at things I don’t understand, Discover enlightenment holding your hand

6) California - Savage Garden

Welcome to my Californian home, You don’t have to call me you can leave when you want, There’s a picture by my bed , There’s a light in your eyes , I don’t know, Well I don’t know, Why you still feel alone

7) Insatiable - Savage Garden

When moonlight crawls along the street, Chasing away the summer heat, Footsteps outside somewhere below, The world revolves I’ve let it go, We build our church above the street, We practice love between these sheets, The candy sweetness scent of you, It bathes my skin I’m stained in you, And all I have to do is hold you, There’s a racing within my heart, And I am barely touching you You are my kind - Santana

Cause you are my kind, You’re all that I want, Here in this life, Until we are gone, Our breath and our skin,
Our hearts and our minds, They’re one and the same, You are my kind

9) Maria, Maria - Santana

Maria Maria, She reminds me of a west side story, Growing up in Spanish Harlem, She’s living the life just like a movie star, Maria Maria, She fell in love in East L.A., To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah, Played by Carlos Santana

10) Goodbye To You - Michelle Branch

I still get lost in your eyes, And it seems like I can’t live a day without you, Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away, To a place where I am blinded by the light but it’s not right, Goodbye to you, Goodbye to everything I thought I knew, You were the one I loved, The one thing that I tried to hold on to

First of thank you bucket for the tea Made my mother laugh.

Second is a quote.

If you’re cold, tea will warm you; if you’re too heated, it will cool you; if you’re depressed, it will cheer you; if you’re excited, it will calm you.

Let me say, who ever said that doesn’t know how true it is. 2 cups of tea in 2 hours. Right..

Ahhhh. Not another letter from the doctor’s. Turns out one of my tests were slightly abnormal again. My gut feeling is it is the ESR that’s causing the problem. Hopefully they don’t make me repeat the blood test again.

HAPPY SRI LANKAN NEW YEAR.

Now off to convince my mother to make kiri baath (milk rice). Wonder if she’ll be willing to get some kokos for us too.

Anyways…more info on the SL new year. Click here.
