I could spend my life in this sweet surrender.
29th November, 2010. 7 pm. "Stop writing, put your pens down" was the phrase that marked the end of the final written examinations of Year 3 Semester 1. With much cursing and swearing, exams for the semester have eventually come to an end. I know I have screwed up my papers but I can't help but feeling happy when I handed my FIIM paper over to the Prof. I was glad that I could start to take a break. A true blue holiday awaits me.
Looking back at the past one semester, I guess there were so many things that I have learnt and things that I have to be thankful for. As usual, it has been a busy semester and times where I broke down because I can't take the stress. Be it stress given by the Prof or by myself, I know that I have to learn to handle them in better ways. The encounters I had with various people made me cherish those who are true to you even more. More importantly, I am thankful for Silly, who has always been there for me. He calms me down, consoles me when I need him, and tolerated all my nonsense when I vented my frustrations at anything I saw or came across. When I was busy with work or study, he waited patiently till I finished them before talking to me over the phone and say goodnight. When I was too busy to step out of the house to get food, he came all the way to buy me my meals and kept me company while I did my stuff. When I needed a shoulder to lean on, he was there to hug me, wipe my tears, and whisper in my ear "It's all right, I am here." When he knows that I am burnt out and exhausted, he will say "Let's go grab something nice to eat." Thanks Silly, for being there not just for the past four months, but for the past one year plus since we knew each other.
With the end of papers, I headed down to Holland Village with the 38 gang for Crystal Jade buffet and Xiao Long Bao buffet. We were freaking hungry by the time we reached there and I got to say, having steamboat during a rainy day is absolutely awesome. Steaming hot Xiao Long Baos added more smiles to our faces. I was supposed to join in for midnight movie but I got to tired so I went home after that to be sleeping beauty.
I woke up with a smile this morning because I know that for once in the past few months, I do not have to wake up to study, write report or finish up with any slides. I helped out with the household chores before heading out with Silly to catch Harry Potter. It is a love-hate relationship that I have with movies that split themselves into two parts. Love it because more details from the novel can be planted into the movie but hate it because I have to wait till next Summer to be able to catch part 2. The suspense (although not exactly suspense given that I have already read the book) kills me. Two and a half hours' paper is pretty long but I totally enjoyed it.
Haven't plan out what I am going to do during the holidays yet and I am excited about it :)
