It's over!

finally. the day i've been waiting for.

THE EXAMS ARE OVER. HEE HEE HA HA HO HO HAH!

it has never felt so good saying this. well done everyone!

Exam Celebration Day has been fun!

though we went to this sucky Italian restarant for dinner, the eski bar almost made up for it. it's so cool (literally and figuratively). and i've always liked drinking, though i'm a terrible drinker. but still, it's kinda fun getting a bit tipsy and talking nonsense, though i wouldn't like to be like that all the time.

this sem has been an emotional roller coastal ride for me. it was tough academically, bringing me a lot of stress and worries. but i'm thankful for it because it has brought my group of friends closer together. we are a rojak group of amigoes, with different personalities and interests. yet we manage to bond and go through the tough times together, supporting each other all the while.

now that one chapter of my life is over, it's time to start a healthier and more active lifestyle! i hereby pledge that once every week, i will:

1. go jogging at the Bedok stadium near my home. if i have to fight with my mum for the running shoes i would.
2. go to the gym with Js. both us need to lose some weight. gone are the days of gorging on junk food and crunching on sugar peanuts and pocky strawberry biscuit sticks.. =(
3. go shopping for at least 3 hours. hey if i'm gonna be more active i might as well do something i like. besides, i still have those Heeren vouchers...
4. read up on my TIME magazines and newspapers. i've been out of the touch with the world for too long.
5. spend at least an hour reading books about Him. it's a small step but at least it's something.

oh ya, and i need to hone my cycling skills, no matter how terrible they are. night cycling is coming!

I will never walk alone

Studying is a privilege, studying is a gift, studying is fun...

That is what I have been trying to console myself with during this week of hell, all the while struggling to cram all the knowledge into my limited memory base. It doesn't help that 105 is disgustingly hard to understand, let only remember.

But I guess this has made me appreciate the companionship of my loved ones even more. I don't know how some people can bear to isolate themselves during exam period. It's being with people that is keeping me sane and generally happy despite the stress.

I know I'm contradicting myself because I mentioned how much I like being alone in my previous post. Hmm... I think I'm still a social animal after all.

Thinking of next sem is scary. Everyone will be going into their specializations, which means me and my group of friends won't get to hang out as much anymore.

You have to go out of your comfort zone to build deeper friendships with other people, you have to get used to the idea that the friends who you are most comfortable with now won't be there to make you laugh in the future, you may even face the possibility of becoming an outcast. What a sad picture.

I suck at adaptability. I hate transitions. Getting used to changes has never been easy for me. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to try to make the best of it. Besides, I know I won't be alone in this.

And to borrow a line from the theme song of Js's beloved Liverpool (Although it sounds weird, or maybe it's because I only heard Js sing it before, I like this particular line a lot): "You'll never walk alone..."

I will never walk alone. =)
