Freedom

I should be spamming, in elation, with capital letters:

EXAMS are OVER!! Whoo-hoo!

Anyway, there was a hell lot of spamming in Business Law which, contrary to popular belief, is not as hard as ppl think it is. In fact, it rocked! Mwahaha! I managed to finish on time, sacrificing my finger health for a noble goal.

If everything turns well and the examiner doesn't rule my untidy writing (scrawled under threat of finger cramps) as unintelligible, i should be able to score a high credit. Or even a distinction. Whee. What a fantastic way to end exams and start off holidays!

To tell the truth i sorta spent wayyy too much time on Cassie and the Kangaroos (am naming the questions as if they were fairy tales) and on Will's Painting. I took 1 look at the omnipresent clocks in 9608, started panicking and increased my writing speed.

So anyway after the three and a half agonizing hours of parking my ass on the ass-tremely uncomfy seats of the exam hall, me Wingie and Danny (who has recently decided to purge the knee-deep layer of dust caked upon his blog and resume blogging in a princezz-celia come back) went off to Pyramid to catch a movie. Shoot 'em up. V. much like Sin City, same actor, same producer, same gruesome scenes, same invincibility of main character. Wasn't half bad.

And on the way home i bought half a gallon of *omg* Baskin Robbins! Nyahaha! Yeah this is how i spent my last day of exams! After much fist-clenching anticipation, 31st of October didn't turn out like i expected it to be, in terms of joy felt after exams.

Y'know it's like climbing up a tedious obstacle-laden mountain, and while you're traversing the perilous mountain path you are driven by the thought that, once you reach the mountain peak and you're on top of the world, you will have your breath taken away by the sheer magnificence of the views: the expansive horizon, the foggy wisps of cloud and the awe-inspiring sunrise (assuming you're climbing to see the freakin sunrise la)!

Then you actually reach the peak and suddenly feel like it's nothing much special actually. Instead of savouring your conquering of the mountain and bask in the natural beauty of the peak, you just feel exhausted and want to lay down for a good night's rest.

That, is pretty much what am feeling right now. Now, i have to say i have never attempted to ascend any mountains (a 500m staircase crawl upwards at FRIM was horrible enough), and will never think of doing anything like that. The above example is what you call an analogy to illustrate my thoughts.

Hmm. But i suppose that when you eventually crawl down limp and nyawa-nyawa-ikan-ly lifeless at the mountain base and have regained enough sleep and feel of legs, you will eventually look back and be happy that you climbed the mountain and survived it.

Which also means that, after i get out of exam-mode and overcome the sudden compulsions to grab at a book and stuff myself with facts, i will be happy as a sandboy again!

Pardon me. I'm going a little insane. I blame it on overdose of Baskin Robbins.

Anyway, Happy Halloween people! Smile!

p.s. Baskin Robbins has this new flavour in conjunction with Halloween: pumpkin cheesecake. Give it a try if you wish. =)
