Life after exams

Exams are stressful. Loss of hair due to exams are even m0re stressful.

I'd been losing hair sue to the stress in the exams. Its amazing!! Really. I have lots of hair. Never would i think that i will lose hair at such an early stage of my life. Not to say losing lots of them in a month. At one point after the exams, i can see myself balding. So, i kept my hair before cutting it a little shorter, but still trying to cover up the bald spot. Only recently, after the hair start growing back, did i cut back my short hair. hehe... Balding is never good.

So, back to work, requesting no off days till 30th. Keeping it for my diving trip to redang, only to be disappointed that it is cancelled due to a lack of rooms in redang. Grrr!!! No tanning, diving, relaxing by the beach with a beautiful sky line for me.

I went to Sentosa recently with my best pals of around 15 years. Surprisingly, its our first time there together. We planned to be by the beach by 11 plus to 12 noon. But we only reach there at 1 plus, due to everyone's speciality: LATE!!

We started with volleyball, but only QF, YZ and me noe how to play a bit of that. The gals? It seems they are scared of the ball. haha... but its good to see them play with us, at least... unlike ah bee... who sit on the beach mat he brought there, under the tree, afraid of the sun. omg.. is he a man who went thru NS? lol..

But thereafter, only qf went into the water with me, YZ is too sissy to get down wet, preferring to accompany ah bee and step under the tree, adjusting the mat constantly to be in the shade. Had some fun trying to get tan, thou unsuccessful. Qf's gf, grace, is also sporting enough to walk on the beach. The most turn off thing? Ah bee and step wanting us to leave by 3 plus!! when the sun is gd enough for a better tan.... to? to vivo!! haiz... spend so much to drive in to sentosa, then leave.. neverthess, we took some pictures!!

A one year gap to reflect on

14/5/07, Monday. I can still vividly recall the bench on changi beach. The talks that i had with her on the evening. The tears shed by both of us. Forward the 366 days to the present, this had been the torturous year for me.

Perhaps the worse part of a human body, is the brain. Thou it helps u to function ur whole body muscles, it also allows u to remember the sweet and bitter moments. This past year, exactly a year, moments of the past keep flashing back in my mind. The moment of happiness in the zoo, food exhitbitions, movies, meals, butter, phone calls, the bus rides and lots of other stuffs, have been flshing back in my mind.

Probably, the events in the past one year has a significant change in my thinking. I were tempted to be with one of the same sex. I were afraid to make a first move to a gal who prob catches my eye. I were not able to have the confidence to talk on the phone for a long time with someone else. I were... Maybe, the single thought of the process of liking someone to dating to breaking up and the after effects is the reason.

Sometimes, i will just smile at myself, thou no one amused me, to keep the upsetting thoughts away. Laugh at myself to hide my in-confidence. Trying to talk more craps so as to keep myself occupied. Play a game of basketball to keep all my mind on the basketball and the game.

Friends, will occasionally ask me what i'm smiling or laughing at. I will tell them nothing. But i'm actually smilling at my sillyness. The fact that human is an emotional creature.

A year ago, on the bus ride, she told me:" if after some time, we still miss each other, we will be together."(something like that)

Recently, i saw the happiness in her eyes again. I feel happy for her but at the same time a call for me to let go.

Perhaps fate is the creator of all happenings.

I'll start learning to adapt to my environment. I'll start looking at things on another view. I shall create a new chapter.

(This is not a blame or anything, but just a reflection of thoughts for the past one year of craziness)

Charm: In life, the gains and loses aren't important. What's important is, everyone's together.

The route to Exams

The route to this semester's exams is disastrous for me. I have plenty of time but it seems i like idling around, while slowly start reading up. I'd reduced my no of working days to 5 days a month, which is kinda very little money as compared to last semester. However, perhaps the plenty amount of time isn't as useful as i have, prob not enough of a quality studying time for me.

My statistic paper, my first paper for the exam, was badly done, even thou i have 3 weeks of preparation. I went to my grandma's house in malaysia for 3 days, trying to study while visiting her. It proved rather fruitless, even if the place is conducive.

Today's paper is a preparation to flung. I had no sleep the night before, trying to read up as much as i can. However, the paper's rather tricky. While attempting on the management accounting, my mind started playing on me, distorting my thoughts, because of the fact that even a 1 mark question requires 1 full page of calculation(a fact that never come acrossed in my life). I lost confidence as i carried on to 2 marks, 5 marks, 1 mark.... and i gave up on 2 mark question even when i tried my best. The brain's not your best friend sometimes when taking exams. I got confused, then forgot how to do. Thats DISASTROUS!!!

i blame no one except myself. The fact that i should have studied as hard as i wanted. The fact that the exams are finally over. The relieve i had. No more books.

My grandma and me.. She not realising i'm taking a picture.

The scenery outside the village of my grandma's. Notice the train?

So, i started trying to leave long hair, after a sudden inspiration while watch 'Hero'. Wanna try the hair style of Mu Chun Tuo Zai. hee... A failure, i think... but, nevertheless, at least i tried...

The starting... trying to style... but look more like a character from dragonball...

Long hair finally.. pushed all my hair to the back with a hairband. Travelled around this way.. Weird but an experience..

I dunno why... but i like my hair up!!! Feel fresher with my fore head cleared of hair..

So, For the last 3 papers, i went to study with my gd fren, QQ. Okie.. he's a guy, my NS Cabin mate. Chanced upon a bubble tea shop in TPY central. Though rather ex for a cup of bubble tea, the ambience of this shop just attracted me to get a drink. Unlike the Sweet talk or any other shops selling bubble tea, this shop reminds me of the bubble tea that i drank when i was in Taiwan training. Thou its a lot cheaper there. 50 cents singapore currency for a cup that is the size of this store's Large cup.

For the bubble tea in this store, it comes in 3 sizes, with the medium size the size that u see in sweet talk. Worth getting a drink for that price. really nice.

Ratings:

Taste 4/5

Service 4/5

The medium sized honey milk tea i bought. See the generous serving of mini pearls?

Charm: Laziness leads to failure. Fate plays 20% of ur life. Luck 5%, hardwork 75%.
