Exam fever's running reaally high now. Kinda nervy. Get this over and done with, get this over and done with. Anyways~ Yeap. Exam fever hasn't affected my brain..yet, I hope.

Have you guys ever eaten a piranha? Y'know, piranhas are these carnivorous fishes that's most popularised (stereotyped) as the people eating fish species featured in many an adventurous film like Indiana Jones (if I said I watched the Indiana Jones back when I was a kid, you can agar agar gauge how old am I, say Indiana Jones to a kid these days and you're gonna draw blanks man). Just look at the photos below, it's a piranha I swear!

Oh my god. I think the exam fever HAS gotten to me after all. Haha but just look at its teeth! Doesn't it make you go o_0!?! After much probing (with a pink, melanin chopstick), my sis and I concluded it had very clean, sharp, tough teeth. It's kinda cool, eh? Can't stop fiddling with its teeth. -_-" Scientists say that we can easily tell/classify living things into carnivores, herbivores and omnivores simply by looking at its teeth. Judging from the piranha's (I'm dead sure it's a piranha) set of pearly whites, it is CARNIVOROUS! So, I was picturing what it'd eaten while it's still alive and it totally ruined my appetite man.

While mugging for exams (haven't done much mugging, as ashamed as I am to confess that lil' detail), I got a lil' sugar rush from a hefty dosage of peppermint ice-cream (oh yeah, NEVER buy King's ice-cream if you want good quality ice-cream, these stuff melt really fast, like less than 5 minutes outta the freezer). It's pretty good for a fast-eater like me, but if you're a slow-eater, then it's gonna become all syrupy by the time you're 1/4 your way through all that ice-cream.

While mugging for exams, I've been listening to Jam Hsiao's music on loop. Ahhh~ Nothing like a lil' morale booster, eh? Music always works. Always does. :) Hurrah to music. I'm gonna officially start counting down to the release of his debut album after getting rid of the exams. :) Hurrah to that too. Jam Hsiao's gonna be the guest star in A-Mei's concert in Taipei's 小巨蛋 come 23rd December. Isn't that neat? He's gotta be the first Taiwanese artiste to ever take part in a concert in 小巨蛋 even before he's signed his first recording deal/even before he's cut his own album! o_0! Hurrah hurrah to that baby!

Caught this docu-series about the Universe, it's really, really cool to get a teensy weensy bit of knowledge on how the Universe came to be (supposedly) what it is today. One of the guests (some big shot from some ivy league university in the U.S) said "Man has been looking for an answer to our beginning, and where we came from, cus' if we don't, we don't know who we are", this is so true, isn't it? Self-identity. Don't we all look to self-identity every now and then when we feel lost at some point of time? I guess each and every one of us are kinda like puzzle pieces, when a puzzle piece's isolated it doesn't serve any purpose, but when you put them together, the lil' puzzle piece combines with the rest to give the big picture. Every one of us craves for a sense of belonging, to belong to a group, to be part of something, and when the entire puzzle falls apart, it's back to square one again. Fortunately, when a puzzle crumbles it never falls apart entirely, certain pieces remain firmly attached to each other. To that special someone who's recovering from a bad rut right now, even if you've broken apart from that particular puzzle piece, you aren't alone, cus' you still have the surviving, strongly bonded pieces, yeah? ;) You're as strong as a bonsai, girl! Bonsai, banzai! Haha XD

Well, the bottomline is, all of us are part of the big picture, even though we don't often have a bird's eye view of this big picture. Give it some time and when all puzzle pieces are finally in place and when everything naturally falls into place...that'll be your nirvana moment. X)

Lol. I know I sounded really abstract in the last 2 paragraphs but it sounded logical when I processed it in my brain. Haha I guess it's another case of verbal diarrhea, eh? ;p
