All's well that ends well....

It's final....it's over...

and that pretty well sums it all up, the final destination of my varsity years has been concluded yesterday in a 2h paper...

I was thrilled for a while....everyone was...We shouted at the top of our voices, we danced, we embraced each other...we agreed with one another: This is it, we've done it, all these years of suffering is finally coming to an end, it HAS ended...

and then i decided: SO WHAT???

thinking back, i was telling everyone how i dreaded each and every day when we were in campus, sitting in a single file, listening to neverending lectures by dunno-who and struggling to see to the assignments at the 11th hour...

We went through the junior years, the sophomore year and then the senior years...

it wasnt without fun, it wasnt without happiness, it wasnt without craziness...then why do i wanted out of that game?

i dunno...i must be confused...i didnt know what to expect...i thought something bright ahead is waiting for me...i was naive, i still am...

Gosh, i miss the folks already...

yesternight the dudes chillouted at my crib for one last bachelor's night...we hit the Bombay Sapphire Gin...we were very happy...we expressed ourselves...everything was out, the grudges, the unsatisfaction with each other and then finally we forgave each other and our relationship is one step closer now...

Shall be leaving for Shang Hai in a few hours more....i havent packed...was feeling a lil' dizzy and nauseous....and head-splitting migraine...but i really look forward to this trip, to hanging out with my close Uni frens one last time, to tease each other time, to have fun....Geez, jz fyi, no one is dying and the world aint coming to an end, at least not any time sooner...(i hope... coz ppl are actually telling me that the end of days is coming, from the volcano eruptions, apparently...dun be childish, ppl...)

so about my buddies, i havent realized how much i appreciated them until now...they were the one who informed me of any assignments submission a day prior to deadline, they were the one who let me copied their works and reports and results, they were the one who reminded me if there's any jobs interview going on in campus, they were the reason why i still survive in the varsity...

It is now officially ended...I AM now a graduate...i am now declared qualified to enter the helluva working world...i dun hafta study anymore...Im not exactly sure if my finals have been done impressively, but im sure i'll be able to pass everything...(*fingers crossed*)...im tasting the sweetness now, i hope it will last...

Many times in our lives we were worried about the uncertainties that lie before us, we questioned and we wanted answers....but more often than not the excitement actually lies in the process of getting the answers...we wanted a fast-way out, we didnt get it, we frustrate...that's not the right attitude...I have come to know that in order to achieve something, u need to put effort in it...i feel that i have done it, and now let's see what's gonna happen to me...

Lead me on, Lord...indeed, You are the Way, the Truth and the Life...

Study Week...

Pretty much happened for the past few days...some satisfying ones, some sobering ones, and others thrilling...

First off, THE PRESENTATION was done and over with...I dunno why i feel so excited about this one, considering i have no recollection that ive done a swell of a job...but anyway, i was rather pleased that the lecturer and moderator have decided that they will keep their questions to themselves...that suits me...:)

Then, it was Easter Sunday...I had a nice Easter service on Sunday morning, remembering that He had suffered for us and His love and what i can do to appreciate Him...As i was singing Above All on stage, I cud really feel it...it was very intense...Thank You, Lord...for everything...

After that, i spent the next few days with CF members...On monday, we had dance practice, and then we went to South City for supper...it was during that time that much was happening back in the condo im staying...Apparently an 'EarthQuake' has taken place while we were eating...Funny as it shd sound, i didnt feel even the slightest budge, and all this while i was thinking, the very thing that Malaysian do best - Exaggeration...To cut things short, i went back to Cyberia...saw the fellas and dudes making themselves a total nuisance hindering access to the condo, taking the opportunity to fellowship with each other, thus creating a chaotic mess and unneeded commotion...it irritates me when ppl make a HooHaa out of something petite...I joined in the 'talking' for a while, and then i headed back to my room, leaving the folks where they were...i later heard that they were down there for another couple of hours or so...pathetic...

Tuesday was the farewell day for FYS...we final year student presented a dance and a sketch for the juniors...I wasnt feeling very emotional, as ive nv really know the juniors...It was sad though to not seeing the other graduating students...but then again, lives move on...

On wednesday, i had another 'makan' session with the CFers...we went for Haagen Dazs Buffet and i ended up being the winner, or the Greedy Hog, for consuming 16 scoops of ice creams, accommpanied by three cups of coffee...I love the IceCream but was really disappointed that they didnt serve Bailey's flavour...otherwise i would have achieved my target of 20 scoops....nvm, will do it next time...

Some updates on myself...

I added four more books to my bookshelf:

Cat and Mouse - James Patterson
1st to die - James Patterson
Rule of Four -
The Line of Beauty - Alan

Also, i got an iPod Shuffle which is out of the norm for me, coz im nv into gadgets like this....but i thought i cud bring my music along when im travelling in ShangHai and Cambodia next month...so it is worth it...

Alright, let the study week commence...the last sprint to the finishing line...

I do well, i do well not, i do well, i do well not, i do well...

Hehe...
