exams

i received a card in the mail yesterday from sunway college. it looked like one third of a brochure. Thre were pictures of amulets and talismans on it, and it said something along the lines of "we have gathered all the good luck trinkets in the world for you, to wish you good luck and all the best for your examination!"

ahah,wow. i was quite impressed. sunway must be doing really well to be able to afford this. while the whole thing IS rather commercial, and therefore is not exactly sincere, i'd say it still makes a good marketing gimmick. i mean, did YOUR college(for ppl going anywhere else besides sunway) send you a good luck card in the mail? :p

while most college or higher learning institution students might be jumping around with joy, having finished their exams, i'm just sitting here grumbling. my exams are at the end of this month, and i am starting to freak out, simply because i seem to be living in an alternate universe.

in a proper universe, i should be an accomplished student by now, who can balance her balance sheets on her first attempt, understand her economics concepts, and see
math as a way of life.

in the alternate universe i am trapped in now, i am a nervous wreck who can lapse into an emotional breakdown because i have failed to balance my balance sheets even after the 10th attempt. i fail to grasp economics concepts despite having it explained to me nurmerous times, and as for math, i'm longing for the day that i'll be rid forever of the burden of numbers and statistics.

hmm.an alternate universe indeed...*twilight zone theme in the background*

ahah,of course,i'm saying all this just because i'm in denial mode, not wanting to believe i'm not working hard enough.

when and if jia yee (my friend from college who's brilliantly hardworking) reads this, she'll say something along the lines of how i always complain about not having studied enough, but still find time to blog a lot rather than study. jia yee, it's because of the blogitis disease. it's not my fault! wakaka...:p

sigh.ok,ok. i'll go study.

BUT,not before i post this video of 'hey there delilah' by the plain white t's. the video's not really gr8 and the singer looks suspiciously a bit like one of the 'same same' twins,but his voice is nice and the song's good. (kakak, if you haven't heard it already, i think u'd like it,it seems right up your alley. sounds something like that 'right red-ankle' or something song)

sunway never sent me a good luck card :p Bah, humbug.
'Hey There Delilah' is sooooo sweet...but sad to say, it's their only good song.
Good luck for the exams!! (and my good luck is a whole lot more sincere than sunway's)
