Exaggerated Simplicity

just beginning not yet ending


Almost there

All that's left of the A Levels is the remaining 75 min of the last paper on the last day of November!!

Very, very, very relieved: No more dreaming of concepts, memorising till the brain's gonna burst.

And finally able to wake up in the morning for the sake of just waking up, and not for the sake of mugging.

Clean up the awful mess of wrinkled papers and loads of files, watch tv till you get bored.

Re-read your favourite books again and again, hang out with friends and family.

Just chill!

Well, I won't be blogging much sadly, because computer's died and laptop's gone mad, so I'll be exploiting MJC library's computer facilities as much as possible till the end of 2009.

And last but not least, happy belated and elated birthdays to these November babies: Hoa Kiat, Sara, Elicia, Thendral, Syafiqah, Nizam, Sok Peng, Derick, Xue Ning, Yan Shan and others which I didn't mention cos I forgot =P Hope you all will have/had a smashing good day!

In the mean time, I'll be doing what I do best: undergoing training as a housewife (plus the art of effective nagging), thinking up lyrics of non-existent songs, daydreaming etc etc etc!!

A matter of weeks

Striking off days from the calendar.
Getting nervous as more crosses approach the big 'A's.
Funny how coincidences all lump up into one, expecting poor souls caught in these coincidences to succumb to the pressure of it all. 

But I'm not gonna be one of them. Think short term, achieve long-term goals.  

Finish exams, clean room, find job, relax.

2 years of madness.

Ending soon.

Thank God for the relentless faith. =)

p.s. Happy belated 17th birthday Fairul (aka Mr Bean)!! Happy Birthday 18th birthday Evonne!! (Sorry I couldn't be there in person today) =D

It's been raining 3 days in a row, I've been walking from town to town, literally.
Many cringe when they think of the distance.
But it's a matter of perspective.

Sometimes I'd like to think that if I have that much determination to walk from home to school and back, which seems like many many kilometres away, I'll have enough grit to undergo the gruelling exams.

It's all about choice.

We're nearing the finishing line. Keep persevering!

Oktober Fest
[info]false_gaucherie
I'm declaring this month to be the most hectic- mentally and emotionally. Not only are plans being scheduled meticulously, but have to be followed strictly. October--- O levels for sis, chiong period for me, NS for bro, final year exams for the other sis. The big picture is kinda overwhelming, but from the looks of it, it's the end result that's motivating me so far. I am excited but scared, cos nothing's sure for now.

And I'm doing all that I can- hopeful and all. At least there are crazy people to keep me sane. =) Waiting to feel the liberation..

Till then, all J2s study hard, believe in yourself, and miracles will happen. All the best~

p.s. considering to be animal rights activist...and some other career options...

Post mortem

Yoohoo~ Just stopping by... with prelims now over, uncertainty is looming. But, in the mean time, I'll just be perservering through this. The last stretch will make or break. So, will end off with this (and I'm hoping not to come here again after everything's done). =)
 

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
