If you have never heard of that song (the Bon Jovi-LeAnn Rimes duet) then shame on you. Get on youtube or baidu or anywhere to right your wrong.Now. Even Yeo Yinghao likes it okay! I have been feeling this irrepressible urge to listen to this song for the last 3 weeks. I indulge without fail. This means it must be some song, because nothing holds the affection of fickle-minded me for anywhere near that long. Save for Literature and History, that is.
The deadline for applications to Oxford University slowly creeps closer, little by little. It takes slight and innocuous steps, one day at a time, each day too much alike to mark or name a place by so as to say for certain it is near. I need to write a convincing personal statement and complete a seeming tonne of paperwork. I need to decide whether to do History, English Literature, or a joint honours course involving them both. I have been saying this for perhaps the best part of 2 years, and I like having thought of it so well I say again, "I need to decide whether to do History, English Literature, or a joint honours course involving them both". It looks like I'm still not over my IOC-mania. And by the way, I absolutely LOVE Robert Frost.
I am getting re-addicted to Channel 8 dramas. I thought when I weaned myself off it early last year that I was through forevermore. I thought wrong, as always. Seriously though, there is a thrill and enchantment about these dramas that transcends the apparent uniformity and singularity that defines their subject-matter and their means of making themselves interesting. It is something I cannot define and I cannot explain. I just keep watching. As an aside it is quite humorous watching Pierre Png trying to elocute and enunciate in Mandarin. The character he plays is also tremendously endearing. And I guess if I continue this into why he is comparably more favoured than some of the other virtuous characters I will be doing English A1 right here and right now. I'd rather work on my latest Paper 2 essay.
