Yay! Yay!! Tomorrow, have my LAST exam to sit for! hahaha....am feeling quite happy cos after that will be FREE! free as a bird in the sky *grins* Can't wait for it to be over and then can relax and have fun. =) Yesterday, me and my floormates took some pictures for remembrance. Cos Victoria had to go back home already....it was the last day when all of us will be together here, so after dinner we went to take pictures around Aberdare Hall, went to garden, dining room and the entrance and took some along our corridor. It was fun, kinda nostalgic, though I will be coming back next year it won't be the same as this year, Victoria will not be back, she will be joining the ranks of solicitors and get to sue ppl! However, I will still see her around later when she comes back for her exams. She's a nice and cheerful girl, friendly as well.
Anyway, will have to work hard for the last few hours before the exams....back to SOGA now. Wish me luck for tomorrow! =)

I got an email from a secondary school friend, quite timely I should say cos it's related to the topic I posted yesterday about love. The email was about the story of a woman who got tired and bored of her love life that she asked for a divorce, she said the romance in the marriage died. But however, the husband gave a very touching answer to the question the woman asked him: "Let's say, I love a flower at a mountain cliff, and we are both sure that making you pick the flower will cause death, will you do it for me?" His answer to this will determine whether she will go ahead with the divorce. He said:
"Dear, I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to further explain the reasons" (this first line had already broken my heart but I continued reading).
"You can only type with computer and always mess up the programs in the PC, and cry in front of the screen, I have to save my fingers so that I can help restore the programs. You always leave the house key behind, I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you. You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city, I have to save my eyes to lead you the way. You always have the cramp whenever your "good friend" approaches every month, I have to save my palm so that I can calm the cramps at your tummy. You like to stay indoor, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.You always stare at the computers, and that do no good to your eyes, I have to save my eyes so that when we grow older, I can help to clip your nails,and help to remove those annoying white hairs. I will hold your hand, stroll down the beach, enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful sands... tell you the colour of flowers, just like the glow on your young face... Thus, my dear, until I am sure there is someone else who loves you more than I do... I would not pick the flower, and die.. "
That's the summary and crucial parts of the story....a story which I find practical and true. And here's a lovely quote from the email:
Love is a funny feeling...we can never be sure of it. But there will be one day when we will know whether what we felt is true or not.
Hahahaha..... *feeling amused* can't resist writing this straightaway....I was sitting at my desk studying and then suddenly someone opened my door, without knocking....but it can't be the cleaner cos she came on Monday already for the weekly cleaning. So for a split second I was baffled and curious and just let the person open my door cos I thought it could be the Aberdare Hall people coming for a room check or something and guess WHO it was??.......hmmm......
It was my floormate, the Indian girl from Mauritius!!! hahahahha......she lives next door to me and I think must be feeling really blur and just opened my door thinking it was her room! I turned around and then saw her stunned look when she realised she opened the wrong room door! Poor thing, she was quite embarrassed and shocked! I have always wondered whether this sort of thing would happen, like would I accidentally enter someone else's room....hehe, and today it came true for my floormate! =)
I can hear her in the next room, packing her things in boxes cos I keep hearing the sound of masking tape, so she must be putting her stuff in boxes already. *sigh* Another year has gone, I can still remember last year at this time when I had to pack my stuff and all, vacating my room in Senghennydd Court. It's amazing how quickly time flies! *feeling a little nostalgic* It really makes you wonder what you did all this time and how one year just flew by without you even knowing. I guess that's life, time flies by, so we must make full use of every single second of it. It will not come back again...but will merely be memories entrenched deep in the recesses of our mind and heart.
Well, 2 more days until I finish and will have officially end my course and graduate! Again, it is sooo fast.....it's like I can still vividly remember my primary and secondary school days when I often thought what it would be like to be in university and studying overseas....now it has all passed or gonna pass and I didn't even notice it, until now! No more the little kid in school playing jump-rope, queuing up to buy 'chekodok' during recess, no more name-calling and childish games we used to play with school-friends, no heavy school bags to lug everyday.....I'm gonna reach the beginning of the road towards the working world. Luckily, I can still have at least one more year of BVC to do (hopefully), so I still don't have to enter the rat race yet. Will have to appreciate that time and cherish every moment of it, although it will be a tough and taxing time.
Back to the last few moments of studying now.....

Sometimes, we wonder what is it like to be in a relationship, what is it to be in love, what is it to share your life with someone, and often we are baffled and cannot give a straightforward answer. I think this issue cannot be answered directly or clearly. But what I would say is this: when you love someone, you would want them to be happy and also that the person will be in your mind the whole time, be it consciously or unconsciously. You may not realise it, but when you truly love someone, you would have them in your thoughts, although you may be doing other things. It's like they are your top priority and you would always think of ways to make them happy.....one example would be like my friend, he had just finished his exams and just merely walking along home when he passed this shop which sells necklaces and he just stopped there and looked in just to see if he could get something which his girlfriend would like. And he did that without having any occassion in mind to give it to her but it's obvious that he puts her in his top priority list, that even just walking home he can be thinking of her and what she would like. And he's always looking for special recipes just so that he can cook it for her to enjoy, consciously look for things he could buy or do to make her happy....and all these without needing to wait for an occassion. Many people often think, "Bah, there's no occassion, why should I buy this/ do that for him/her? After all, it can wait until then....it's not time yet." Well, and it's maybe too late later ...maybe the person may be gone or the thing you initially wanted to buy is gone. So it's always better to seize the day and do whatever you thought would make your bf/gf happy. It does not have to wait.
Not many couples who are in a relationship truly love each other. This is what I think...they may be together merely for companionship, or for convenience, or because they 'should' be in one due to their age, cos they are afraid they will end up a bachelor or spinster, cos they see all their friends having a partner and many more. There are very few true loves around and not many people truly end up with someone they really love. They may think they are in love but actually they may not be. It's a vague subject and not one in which we should judge couples...but the couple should know it themselves.
I really admire those people who can really love their partner so much, willing to sacrifice so much for their loved one. It takes a LOT of courage, time, effort, attention, knowledge and sincerity in doing it. I am really happy for those who are capable of loving someone so much and also envy those who receive the attention of someone who can love them so much. These people are truly the happiest people on earth for nothing is more important than love. Love rules everything and though some people can say that they can live without love, they are merely deceiving themselves.
Here is one beautiful quote about LOVE:
Love is kind.
It does not envy,
It does not boast,
It is not proud,
It is not rude,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love never fails.
Don't you agree that the quote is very true and applicable? I think it is...

Today feeling super STRESSED!! It's the SOGA! Some parts are quite confusing and makes me wonder whether I can answer the questions in the exam!! Aaarrgghhhh......hope I get the concepts right and know how to apply them to the question. Seen the past year papers, the questions are all very very long and complicated (problem questions that is).
Dinner was nice, had chicken and mushroom pie....hmm...delicious. And they handed us some slips to fill in our favourite food and least favourite food. I didn't get to fill it up cos by the time I finished my dinner, they came to collect the form and mine was not filled yet! So my democratic view is not included!! And the thing is that this floormate of mine, put in everything the other way round. When we discussed saying we don't like a certain dish she put the dish name under the part of "Favourite Food" and for the food we like, she put them under the food we disliked!! Just to spite us! And her slip was collected, so this will affect the selections for next year......sheesh!! So we might still get stuck with some yucky food.....it's funny for her cos she's not staying, but it's gonna affect those still here next year! What a crazy gal!!! She is one mad lady....gone madder these days. And when she laughs, you can hear her half a mile away! Sometimes, makes us embarrassed cos when she laughs like that, everyone will be looking in our direction.
Well, gotta go take my shower now....aahh....nice, relaxing shower! =)

Ouch!! I'm feeling my head throbbing and pulsating....having a headache now!! and I don't know why. Could it be because it is too hot? or cos too much of reading is straining my brains.....*sigh* hate the feeling, so uncomfortable, feel like sleeping but then cannot cos need to read up my SOGA. Hope it will go away soon!
Weather today is a bit cooler...not as hot as yesterday and day before. Did a but of laundry in the afternoon and then studied until now. Wish exam will be over soon!! I need to wait for 5 days before everything is over!! Gotta be patient. *makes face* Nothing much for today, just that can't wait for exams to be over for good!!
Head still throbbing, although it is not so painful, but it's very annoying and makes me feel uncomfortable....I think I need to take Panadol to get rid of it!! Ok, need to go look for the pills.....where are they?
