Ah, finally, exams are all over, it's such a wonderful feeling. Finished exams this afternoon and felt like it was a Saturday, so care-free and all. Today's stats paper was really hard, I took comfort in knowing that others found it hard as well, so there's a high chance that we'll get scaled up. Man, I stayed up the whole night just studying for it and yes it was as hard as I expected, haha, oh stats you're such a killer, you make us die prematurely. But honestly, I could easily say that it was the toughest paper I've sat for in my life, thus, I was really worried if I could even get a credit for it.
Worry, the word itself just seems like a sin already, I think that worry should be a taboo. It comes naturally as part of our natural reaction to things in life, exams (eg. driving exams haha, congrats Nat), money (more for adults), loved ones (a mum's worry for her chidlren is able to keep them awake the whole night), interviews, job, list goes on.. Crazy!
We should take worry merely as a trigger. It tells us that we ought to do something in our part to get rid of it, eg. if you're worried bout the coming exams, study and prepare. That being said, there's only to a certain extent we can do in our part, sometimes we can't even do anything about it. except to worry I guess. "I've done all I can, but I'm still worried!" And I'll go like, "Dude, you've done all you can already, what are you worrying about?". If you've done all you can, or if there's not even a thing you can do about it, please don't worry. No amount of worrying is then gonna make things better, instead, I think it does the opposite.

Bro woke me up for pizza. Seiko was here when I got up as well, she cooked us corn soup and garlic bread. Ah pizza~ bestest food in the world. It was supposedly to celebrate the end of my exams, that's what they said haha, how true izzit? Or izzit just a reason for Seiko to come? Ngeh, jk, thx a lot! =D Watched "Million Dollar Baby", very sad. And then went online! Finally! But didn't last long, ended up in bed at like 12.30am cos I was just tired. And cos of all that sleeping I woke up so early (5am), so thought I'll go blog.
Wei Liang is coming to Sydney tmr! Ah, haven't met since I left Msia, looking forward to meeting up with him, will be taking him around Sydney. He's staying for a week at our apartment. I think I'll really enjoy this hols.
June:
Wei Liang stays from 23rd till 29th
July:
Nicholas stays from 2nd till 7th
Fang, Mel and her 2 frens stays from 10th till 18th
Gene stays from 10th till 22nd
Kok Ken stays after 22nd for about a week
I wonder what grandparents will think when they find out about it, they went back to Msia to escape the winter and are now staying with my parents and Ivan. I'm amazed that none of their stays clashes, but that also means that I might be going to some of the places in Sydney more than once. Money ='( Not complaining, it'll be money spend well. I might be a professional tour guide once Gene they all come haha.
Joyness =D Oh beautiful hols
To those who are still sitting for exams, all the best!
Do your best and we shall all strive to not worry and just be happy =)
