Exams..they're very near

Starting Monday 29th oct, I will have my examination for ending this sem 1, third year. I feel stress..i can't recall some things that i have studied for the past 2 weeks. Sometimes i feel ok, sometimes i don't. Now i can't absorb anymore. graa...grrr...why...why...it's all in the mind..
now how?? maybe i shd do some slow recap, skimming through formulas. glancing through pages. Not much that i could do...
auto stress mode crops up when the day approaches...it's just another student life routine. i'll be out of this mode when the papers end. =)

After Celebrations

Yesterday, my family including my grandma, aunty, cousins and nephew celebrated my 22nd Birthday. It was the most wonderful family birthday celebration among other years because it was planned weeks before 14 oct, the actual date.
My cousins said they missed my 21st birthday celebration last year, so this year they planned it out just for me. We had seafood at Batu Maung. With 'birthday' mee, crabs (hard and soft shelled) (mom's fav), fish (my fav), squids, frog (dad's fav), asparagus (grandma's fav) it was very filling.. what a variety of seafood. After the hearty meal, my cousins (3 of them), presented the birthday cake, black forest with strawberries (yummy!) on the fluffy white cream. It was made on the spot in the cake house with my cousin watching the baker did it for 30 minutes, coz she wanted it as fresh as possible. Other customers in the shop sang birthday song for me and we distributed the cake for them as well, including the coffee shop's owner.
My cousins also gave me a teddy bear from ty named raindrops. No wonder it's blue in colour! hehe.. I love the blue fur very much, so soft to touch and above it all, the bear looks cool in blue with the polka-dot ribbon. Oh, thank you so much!
With all the delicous food, cake, presents and angpows, I felt like the most VIP birthday gal being celebrated!
Not to forget also the birthday party my friends celebrated for me on the 11th Oct. I had a very satisfying western dish and my friends took the initiative to have 3 in 1 birthday celebrations for the october buddies, which is me and 2 other friends. I had a very nice watch from my friends, and had the steel strap adjusted yesterday so that I can wear it already! =P
Besides that, thank you friends and roommates besides organizing parties, send warm wishes via smses and e-mails. My sincerest thanks and appreciation to all of you... ^-^

Happy Day

The study week has begun. I am relieved that all my tests are over. For me, this sem has recorded the highest number of tests among all the previous sems. Phew... now only need to focus on the finals which will begin on 29 oct. Timetable is more packed this sem, as my papers will end on 9 nov. Which means I will have holiday earlier than my friends who will have their last papers later than that.
Today is my 'chinese birthday', which is first day of eating vegetarian in the month of the 9 emperor gods. Later my gang of friends will belanja me...haha.
Last night I watched the live telecast of our very first astronaut being lauched to space.
I synchronised my time to 21:22 when it was launched. ;-)
On astro channel 558, they had some interviews with our astronauts and also an ex-cosmonaut, besides that historical moment of the rocket blasting off to space.
According to the ex-cosmonaut, an astronaut will witness 16 sunrises and sunsets in one earth day. Which means, a Muslim practising fasting will have 45 minutes of fasting and breaking fast in between. Whoa, must keep tab of that 45 min intervals.
Upon getting itself into orbit it, the space shuttle will travel at 8 km/s that is why the view from up there will be spectacular. U can see everything passing by so fast, live telecast. Not a boring view, eh.. But our dear astronaut will be doing some checkings and experiments up there so no standing by the window for too long to watch the world goes by...haha. But time is travelling fast there, so every 16 sunrises is a new 'day' so it should be cool..
Ok, i gotta go now... my roommate is waiting for me. She's going back to her hometown for this study week. =D

reflections

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others,
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.

This is an extract from a forwarded email. This paragraph seems familiar as I have read it somewhere before. Between year 2002 till early 2004, I have done some poem writings and readings. Inspirational poems can be found plenty on the internet. Some touching ones are also beautifully done by the authors. Some, though, have hidden meanings that is hard to interpret. Any way, it's a good reminder once a while to reflect on ourselves.
This Monday, 2 tests! Arghh... this sem always 2 tests in one day. I feel stressful... I can't finish studying and it's tough..

Another extract from the same email:
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

The weather today is so nice! Rainy season. =p
