Studying at home for university exam break is a big no-no cos my room is too distracting (the bed, laptop, bed, food, camera etc)
Half the batch mates seem to think the same since the library is colonized by zombie-like exam goers facing the same battle on this Saturday.
To drag myself to the library... these are a few things I do to keep myself entertain......so far:-
1. Purposely park Skysky at the bicycle parking area, which is the closest to the library building entrance.
The irritating part is there's only a thin yellow line of demarcation separating the bicycle parking and other bikes parking space. Is the management discriminating those with scooter/bikes? Why bicycles have the privilege to park nearest to the entrance? Even if it rains, the owners of bicycle and motorised vehicle still have to run for cover rite? And.. people like me have to pay for the fuel!
The fun parts are seeing/hearing the guard shouting from a distance for me to remove the scooter, and park at the right place and to occupy Nickson's bicycle parking space. Hohohoh
The best parts are locking my scooter head (render the scooter irremovable) and happily skipping away *lalalalaaa*, looking back to see the guard having difficulty in removing my scooter *I do this almost everyday..hohohoh..* and to see my other friends parking at the bicycles space . I dont think it's me who set a bad example *coughcough*
The bad parts are I hope that he cant recognise my scooter and try to kidnap it when he sees it outside the library (offduty ma) and no parking space for mua! Ish.. for example, today (Wed), the parking spaces for bicycles were infested by bikes! Those inconsiderate bikes. I had to park my Skysky under the tree in a dark-lit area. Huhuhu..
Actually I feel quite bad "bullying" the guard. I'm worried someone might complain bout his lack of duty etc On second thought, it might not be the same guard everyday and it's not me alone who add to his misery! Then again, bicyclists use more strength to move their 2-wheel vehicle. They need to save their energy to continue their ride later while people like me have to exercise more cos all we do is push the starter and the ride move by itself! HAHA!
2. Beat the rain to the library The rain in Manipal has been "quite" predictable. If there's dark clouds looming, it will definitely rain heavily within seconds or few minutes, depends on luck. It's an task itself for me to reach the library in dry clothes.. forget about in one piece. Even with my Paddington raincoat, it's no match to the rain and wind here. As I've said earlier, the rain is only "quite" predictable because today (Wed) again, before leaving the library for lunch, the sky was cloudy but no signs of the dark clouds but soon after leaving the library, it poured so heavily, forcing me to seek refuge at the food court. Besides, it was lunch time and the place was packed! Worse part is there's not a single soul that I know which I can tumpang meja. =) Luckily, the downpour lasted for 15 minutes only. When it drizzled, I took Skysky and sped like mad (max only 60km/hr lo). The main point is, I got tricked by the weather. T.T Score is: Rain 1 Amanda 92837464
The enjoyable part of the rain is when I'm in CoffeeDay (a cafe within the library for non-Manipalites info.. Starbucks or CoffeeBean of India), drinking my Iced Mochachillo, looking outside the window, admiring the force of mother nature, unleashing her fury on Manipalites.
No la.....More like laughing at those people without umbrellas, running for shelter... while I'm dry, comfortable and managed to beat the rain once more...
3. Seeing girls fatter than me who DESERVED being criticized!
There's nothing wrong being fat since i'm one too! but they are fatter. Whahahaha. *points at exam stress for making me evil*
Actually, it so happens that SOME of them who talk LOUDLY and laugh like WITCHES are fat, always in their "KMC" pullovers, and from US of A (Non residential Indians aka American wannabes). If the girls are the one acting like witches, the guys of same kind talk as though they have testosterone overload. One word: Jerks. I have to mentioned that it's Indian Americans cos I've never come across any other foreigners behaving in that way and by their accent, you'll automatically know. Furthermore, it's not even a pub, it's just a cafe. No alcohol but acting like drunkards who called themselves medical students. Puiks. They act as though they are on top of everyone, lack of attention idiots! It's so distracting since I study in Coffeeday unlike majority who studies in the real "library". I need some noise to keep me awake but minimize enough to keep me from being distracted. I dont need to know the content of your conversation ok? I dont need to know the shallowness of your knowledge and the limited vocabulary that you have! Most repeated words are "Ermm,.... like.. you know?".. "Wassup?' Makes me so glad that I'm Malaysian. At least there's variety in my language.

K. Hafta study d.
Good luck to me exam goers friends! incl myself *need all the blessings from God*
