First war of battling Magic Realism paper was over and done with yesterday evening, at Hall F, Sports and Recreation Centre. It was ok, and all I can do is hope that I will get a “S” grade for this subject. I exercised my SU option on this module.

Just back here for quick updates before I disappear again to mug for my crazy battles next week. 3 papers in 3 days. Sure will drain the hell out of me, but it will be a challenge to overcome.

Ciaoz

PS: would like to wish Shaun, a very happy 22nd birthday…

Ever fancy being a cowboy? Wearing western boots, and rodeo styled hats? haha, it would be so cool, and make a great costume to be worn to parties…

Cowboy Boots can also make as a great gift to a special someone or even friends who are boot fanatics… plus, there is even free shipping included for purchases over $100. Hmm, I would be so tempted to buy a gift certificate and get the person to choose the boots.

Wow, these boots offered by metboots.com look so cool… I can’t wait to purchase it as a gift for someone this Christmas, that is if I know they are a boot fanatic!

Of the many styles of boots available, I still prefer cowboy boots, as they are beautiful in a way, with nice finishing, and really adds the cowboy touch to the clothes worn. Gee, I feel like yelling yee haa! right now… after seeing so many pair of cowboy boots.

Time passes by, in the flash of the eye… Lament lament, how time has passed… Spoke of grand plans and aspiring dreams, how true can that be? We all once say, time waits for no man, how true can it be? This rings so true… Perhaps, sit down and take a breather out of this hectic life… and for once, appreciate the beauty of the simple things in life… Let time pass in its natural way… Meditate, meditate…

It isn’t nice to fall sick just before the exam season commences, and it just so happened that I did myself in. Caught a cold, that is. Throat felt sore, cough and stuffy nose. A quick visit to the doctor caused about $30 in damages, and a bag of medicines to eat and sleep.

Been sleeping almost the whole of yesterday, and today is no exception, which I fainted outside my toilet door (giving my parents a huge scare)… It turned out that I had not much strength, since I’ve not been eating much.

It was only after lunch I feel much better, tired as can be, but no longer feeling giddy nor faint… I think my blood sugars were quite low, thus the giddy spells.

Feeling much better already, and that I will have to make up for lost time by whacking mock exam papers. No choice.

Today I lost it. For once. Never have I lost control of my emotions and cry just like that. Guess that there is so much I can take. It’s like I’ve just hit the mental wall, and that everything just went smash boom bang.

The heart has barely settled down, and settle down it must, so that it will not impact anything for the next 2 weeks. This semester is by far the toughest, even I myself is finding it so hard to take. It’s been a long and gruelling 13 weeks. Just 2 more weeks, and the exams will be over… and freedom shall prevail once more.

And yes, the goals have been set. I shall gnash my teeth, and bear with it, the pain and all, that i am enduring. For the fruits will be sweet. As people always say, “No pain, no gain”.

I really hope everything will turn out just right, and I think all I can do is hope and hope. Nothing much I can do at this point in time, and of course, work as hard as I can.

It’s already lunch time, yet I don’t feel like eating. Sounds like I am on a diet? No… but rather, sometimes no appetite to eat. Thus I will just skip lunch… Its amazing how I can survive the day through.

My energy levels don’t drop, and I feel perfectly ok. Flight or fight situation? I don’t know. Perhaps I am stressed unknowingly. My eczema returned, to the very same patch on my right foot. Sigh. And I think it just got worse. Great.

I so hate that rough patch of skin. Doctor cleared me of any food allergy that might have triggered it, and that the explanation was it might be due to stress, since it came so suddenly. It was then it started to get too itchy for me to bear back then, then I went to the doctor. Diagnosis was confirmed to be eczema.

I know its not contagious. I can’t spread it to you, but I can’t stand that rough patch of skin. Think wrinkled and dried skin. Sigh… That’s the least of my worries, at most be condemned to wear shoes for the rest of my life. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

I don’t know if I can cure it completely, but I shall learn to live with it… I guess that’s the only way right?

Been quite a while since I updated this entry, or if I am not wrong, that was a few days ago? Right now I am at the Student Computer Room (SCR) of my faculty in campus… and somehow feeling jumpy. Dunno why though. Definitely not a good feeling…

Finally completed the last assignment for AI lab. At last! Now can totally concentrate on the mugging for exams. Ok, at least I am prepared for some modules. Now need to really practice hard on the weaker areas that I am in.

7 days more to my first paper, which happens to be my elective. Now that’s fast. Time really flies. Yuck….

At this point in time, all I can say is that I hope to pass all my modules and progress on. Good luck to all taking exams.

Amazingly, today is week 13. Wow. Half an Academic Year almost gone. It’s amazing to know that I lasted this long and this far into my 4 year degree… and all I am left is 1 and 1/2 years more (3 semesters). Next semester will be spent as Industry Attachment (IA), and I will be left with studies for 2 semesters!~ Gosh. Expect time to fly even faster than before.

Exams will be over by 30th Nov (where it is the last day for all students). My exams will end slightly earlier, but don’t bet on it too much.

Preparations are coming along, and I hope to be able to do well, and perhaps increase my GPA score a little bit more… I don’t harbour hopes of even getting a third class honors. That’s ok. I’ve come to terms with that already. So what if my friends have better honors than me? I will feel happy for them. *I really mean it*

You might be thinking what am I doing in school at such a timing, when I only have 1 freaking hour of lesson today @ 1330. Well, I pack myself to school early, to catch up on my studies whilst travelling as well as in school itself. So that kinda distract me from the regular mundaneness of travelling… allowing myself to focus even better at some point.

This semester so far, has been very eventful and had a very huge impact on my life… Somehow, I know things will never be the same again… I am so glad that I allowed myself to gracefully accept and implement changes. Yeah, it does cause some chaos initially with myself, but am glad I got it straighten out.

So long till the next update…
