Exams are over?!
Yes they are! They're over. But for some reason, I'm indifferent to it. Maybe cos it happened to fast, and *poof* it's over. After this experience, I've learnt not to squeeze 2 essay papers in one day. Especially not if they are like 2 hours apart. And especially not when the invigillators take super duper incredibly long to collect the first paper. So I only had one hour to eat lunch, and study for the next paper. Of which I obviously skipped lunch since my grades were more important.
I wrote 7 essays that day, and the ink in my pen diminished to half. Essays are pretty fun. I'd rather write essays than fo MCQs! MCQs suck big big big time! It's like you know, you know, you don't know, you don't know. Essays can form an argument out of stuff you sort of know. =) So conclusion: Essays are good!
One of the days while I was trying to be hardworking and studying, I was just thinking to myself if someone came up to you and told you that he's God, will you believe him? This probably links back to why Jesus was denied so many a times when He told the people that He was God's son. So will we deny a person who come down as God in this time? Or rather, if we were back in Jesus' time when He came down to earth, would we have believed? Honestly? Would we believe? Hmmm.. That's something to think about I suppose. But I'm glad I truly believe and have faith in Him now. =) That's one thing to be thankful for!
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Just bringing back some good old memories...
Some people are overseas, some people are still here, some people I haven't seen in a while. Well, just good old memories when my cell group was so close and cosy! =)
And yes, my birthday!
And every single one of them planned for it!
God is good for blessing me with such wonderful friends!

What's the rationalE towards going to school?
Why are there so many university students? To gain knowledge? Well, I did say something about knowledge in my previous postings. So, maybe not. To gain more insight? Perhaps. To learn how to socialize? Maybe. To evaluate how wonderful the lecturers and tutors have been? Probably. Or just to do well in exams, get a degree and say bye bye to the darn local education system? I think the last one's more so for most people.
Sometimes, people enter university simply because it's just a 'trend'. After you complete A levels, obviously you'll go up to university and get your degree. That's the 'norm' to do things here, in Singapore. So is school a place to party? To be educated? To get to know more people? To decide on your future career? Guess it differs from one person to another.
Maybe that's why some people can't get along that well with some people because they do not hold a similar goal in mind even though we're all undergraduates. And yes, I'm getting to my point here: CHOOSE YOUR PROJECT MATES WISELY! That's important, really, it really really is! Otherwise they'll jeopardize your future in that module! Some choose to be more serious in their work, preparing stuff everytime project group meet up, some just come, sit, wander and the only thing that comes out of their mouth is, "So what am I supposed to do?"
Okok, it isn't that bad, but some people just ain't co-operating! Going all the way down to school for a project meeting on a day of which I don't have school isn't bad enough, but some people just have to make it worse by saying they overslept and guess what? They stay in HALL!!! Get your bum going! Legs walking! And meet up with us!
The semester will soon be over and I'm glad. Thank God only 1 person I'm working with is like that, and it's already getting on my nerves! Well, forgive and forget. Try try try try try try to accomodate? I've been really nice already, not going to the Hall to bang on the door. Oh well, that's life I guess. You meet all kinds of people. Well, I ain't perfect too. Noone is. Forgive, and be nice. And most importantly, don't be hypocritical.
Exams coming up. Study Study Study!
