We’ve all made it. It’s finally over, the ‘A’s. To think I was still lamenting over it weeks ago. Everything feels lighter now, and the sky feels a wee bit brighter. (which is a good thing for now in spite of my love for dark and gloomy days) For now, I’ll just lock up this portion of my life, and reopen it only when I have to. It’s time to relax and take everything easy. Doesn’t the air feel freer and fresher? Though, I wonder how long it would take for me to grow sick of this new found sense of freedom. Truth be told, I’m not sure how I’m feeling. Perhaps the fact that JC is finally over hasn’t sunk in. But I know I have this stupid grin plastered on my face so that’s always a good thing. Meanwhile, it’s time for all the TV shows and movies I’ve missed over the months. Oh, and scouting for clothes for graduation night next week. Till next time, which is pretty soon, since I’ve all this time on my hands now, bye! And finally, let us all enjoy ourselves before the official timings we’ve clocked in this long and turbulent race are announced. It’s a well deserved rest I might add.

Tomorrow’s the day! Just thought I’d say all is not lost for those who’re not done with your revision for next weeks’ papers. You have this week! God knows I definitely still need some time for econs and physics. But if your math and chemistry are still hanging by a thread at this time, you better start praying. And pray hard. I know I’ll be screwed if that’s the case. So to everyone, good luck! It’s going to be a long 21 days before the end.

Tomorrow spells exactly one week away to the first paper. And my nose is still runny. My scratchy throat does not help much either. argh.

I’m down with the flu. I guess it’s both a  good thing and a bad thing.

On one hand, I’ll probably be healthy in the weeks to come after I’ve recovered from this; and on the other, I’ll be missing out on revision time for these few days because I’m too tired to really pay much attention to anything.

Did you know the older you get, the less likely you are to fall victim to a flu virus? There are more than a hundred types of flu viruses, and each time you recover from one, you become immune to it and thus, the less likely you are to catch one. And you don’t really catch a cold just by being exposed to the cold. It’s just that bacteria and viruses thrive better in cooler conditions.

Speaking of which, catching a cold is a good time to take all those supplements and herbs and disgustingly bitter medicines because you can’t taste anything!

So over the past few days, if you’ve had been around any guys, you’ll have to be deaf to not know that the topic of converse amongst fellow males has been about NS and enlistment dates. Even on social networking sites like, Facebook and Twitter, you’ll have to be blind to miss it.

Finally received my letter today, just after I was getting frantic as to why I hadn’t received anything after everyone had seemingly been notified in one way or another. I was lamenting how the 1 year and 10 months would be a breeze, but my brother seem amused. Apparently he claims I wouldn’t be able to fathom how NS is like until I’ve experienced it myself. But hey, I did survive JC life didn’t I? And it seems like it was just yesterday that I first enter NJ. But still, the stigma… My brother was telling me he hadn’t heard of School 3, and that if it did exist, it must be at somewhere ulu. And apparently, School 2 is the nearest to the boats, so those posted there always get to book out first. And nope, I’m posted to neither, it’s number one for me. Does that mean older facilities?

Regardless, I’m sure we’ll all survive. And that goes out to the females as well for the challenge that awaits us all in 20 days time.

I’m excited, frightened, and skeptical. It seems surreal sometimes when I’m on the bus on my way home.

Here’s wishing everyone all the best in achieving self-actualisation in the remaining days.

Don’t fret, before you know it, it’ll be all over. A beuatiful ending at that.
