To those having exams...and some graduating...

It's the time of the year again when people start getting anxious about exams and how they would cope with it.

With time winding down and work piling up throughout the semester,u start seeing ppl workin hard like little ants,burning midnite oil.It's a time when people stop having fun such as playin games etc(well maybe some of you still do).It's a time when people resort to caffeine.It's a time where u start seeing how each person is actually capable of performing regardless of what extent it is.It's a time when you see what it means to b a student and what uni life is all about.Play play play and squeeze 1 semesters worth of info into 1-2 weeks time.SWOT Vac either becomes ur saviour or ur enemy(true bcos if u hav finished studying u dun wan the time to torture u to study more or even just to wait anxiously cos exam is stressful afterall).

But for what its worth, it's worth all the while.You work hard u get paid back.U laze around u fail thats all.It's not like in high school.Uni means serious,u develop urself prefesionally n personally.Knowledge counts as one,but beign able to meet deadlines and handling stress is also essential when u start working.And for those doing things like med,what u know or not know will kill or save lives.Life is made difficult for us on purpose not just bcos the best things in life dun come free but bcos of the responsibility that is being carried,be it a doctor,an engineer,a pilot or even a teacher.It's a responsibility of an adult.

I hope this year has been a decent year for most people although some of my frens n myself hav been having ups and downs throughout this yer but is an opportunity for growth.We learn from our experience don't we?

One of my fren called me the "examless guy" so i'm not gona say much to provoke or annoy anyone.But being examless and relaxed doesnt mean i'm not doing other things.Currently, to be able to play basketball competitively/socially and properly learning/mastering japanese has become the core of my life while I'm not so busy with my research work yet.It'll be a different yet irrelevant experience but it will help me grow in another unique way.It's somethign that I ahvent felt since high school or primary school perhaps,like when u r taugh to leanr ABC again...lolz

Anyway,back to the topic,after exams,u know u'll b rewarded with the long awaited holidays,the time of ur life, to do watever u want,4 u know it, it'll b right in front of u in no time.I personally like to do countdowns.....so...how many days left towards the end of torture?

Lastly,just wana wish u guys who r gona hav exams soon.Good luck and all the best.So long as u know u've tried ur best,thats enough.

"All you need to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you"(Lord of the Rings,The Return of the King)

And for those graduating soon,may u b blessed with a wonderful career and future. Opportunities await u. May we meet again in the near or distant future or maybe never ever again.Take care and goodbye!
