A Stumble may Prevent a Fall ~ English Proverb
Alright, the exams are over, but I can't help but feel that I could have done better; especially for the last paper yesterday, Economics. Oh well, one can't cry over spilt milk, I will just have to accept whatever grades I get and move on. For a much deserved break, I went for a game of street soccer with my former JC friends at NTU; played with a couple of NTU and NUS guys over there; all getting a breather after a hectic week of preparations for the exams... Finally all is over... for now.
I am looking forward to the overseas trip that I will be going on next Sunday together with my family and some friends. Again, its a much needed break, or should I say, a family tradition that has been going on for about 3 years in the running.
Oh, and Paul, do give me a call on when and where we will be meeting for a prospective luch outing. (Dun make it too convenient for yourself... :p)
Ah... Finally I see the light!
After a tedious one week of non stop studying action, I am proud to declare that I am at the end of this tunnel of exams. Yes, its the light at the end of the tunnel. The last paper was done with much difficulty, not really prepared but then again. so what... this whole thing is finally over. Try harder next sem? No need for that, I would not be touching Economics again, I hope...
My eyelids are getting heavier with every letter I now type... Its been a tiring day, went for my singing lessons straight after my exams and then to Queenstown shopping center to get some sports equipment. I shall not elaborate more on what happened throughout the course of today, one last sentence though; I am done with the studying!!!!! ......at least for this Sem...
Woohooo... Happy feelings now reside in my every actions...and I wish that this feeling will stick unto each person who now reads this entry.
Sleep I must...........
First Day of... Exams...
I was awoken from my slumber by the soft peltering of rain on the windows which I left open last night; wearingly, I crawled out of bed and looked out into the neighbourhood which is still very much asleep. I reckon that everyone sleeps late on a Saturday... at least for those who do not have to work.
Yes, its the grand opening of the examinations for the Arts faculty and I am one of the few lucky ones chosen to grace the event... My exam's at 1pm in the afternoon, a Saturday afternoon mind you... Yes, I am through with the notes and I am not going to touch those vile stuff all the way till my examinations. Decided to leave a blog since I've got about 2 more hours to kill before I leave for campus. I hope the information which I have squeezed into my brain over the past few days stay there, at least until the exam is over.
Great way to start a day; rainy mornings are always soothing to the soul; it reflects the serenity, or fraility rather, of the world. Everything just comes to a standstill as one peers out of his window and into the raindrops falling ever so softly onto the concrete floors below. The rain always brings up fond memories of the past... I remember the good ol' primary school days where everything seemed so simple, life was simple too, all I had to do was to go to school and be a good boy. No worries about anything; except for the occasional toys that I wanted...

Exam Blues...
Ho ho ho, the exams are around the corner again. Yes, everyone's preparing hard nowadays, people crammed up in libraries; every study corner you go, you see it full of people. Its as though every single one in the University is studying for the biggest event in their life. (And I even had the cheek to check out some premier league matches on my weekends... Don't I feel guilty? Er... No) Everything comes at a price; cause and effect, nothing happens without any consequences. There has to be time allocated for studying, accompanying friends, family and of course, time to relax and do whatever one wants. Well, looking at people doing mundane repetitional stuff makes me go mad... I just hope that my future job will not be one that requires me to behave as thought I were in the army; thats why I chose to do media related studies, at least I hope that life would not be that boring... School's been fun, never really enjoyed schooling as much as now; there is much freedom in whatever you do, no one pushes you to do work, you are the motivating force behind yourself. If you do not push yourself, no one will; except for the occasional peer pressure that you feel whenever you visit the libraries in campus... Oh well, thats a secondary effect, the intrinsic/primary one is yourself; you are the catalyst for your actions and of course, the after effects.
Always look on the bright side of life, ~di do, do do di do di doooo~
