LIVING LA VIDA LOCA!!!

Praise be to Allah.. the dreaded day has passed.. The TORTURE’s finally over. Integrated Management.. 4th sitting from start, 3rd sitting of the new syllabus… I only slept for half an hour prior to the exam yesterday morning. Like Ron said.. be a HERCULES!!

Yes it was a herculean effort for someone like me to study.. and I’ve always welcomed distractions when I was studying.. coz I’m never the type who can study continuosly and consistently. My attention span to academic book is only 10 minutes.. hahahah.. but i can read Jeffrey Archer or Mario Puzo non-stop for hours! But during the final preparation… I wasn’t studying alone.. I was accompanied by my KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR… who declared that he’s already sleepy at 10pm but waited until 4.40am to give me company…

I know this sounds weird… my Knight wasn’t physically with me.. nor spiritually… hahahaha.. bukan hantu daa… kan dah cakap KNIGHT.. huehue… but we exchanged texts continuosly and consistently.. only pausing when i was reading a long text or trying to memorize the bloody PRINCE2 framework (which turned out to be a waste of time coz it didn’t even come out in Section A). The sms exchange keeps my mind alert coz we give each other crazy Pop Quizzes and sometimes he’ll cheer me to keep me going with all those magical words… (i was in heaven studying! huehue).. After he went to sleep, i continued my battle alone.. but my head felt like it’s splitting with too much information so I decided to sleep.

I slept at 5.30am but woke up at 6am. Showered, studied, ate my cereal and went to UM’s examination hall. I didn’t get out of my car until the last minute, still reading my notes. Then I realized i left my jacket at Esoh’s place. UM’s exam hall is notorious for it’s super-coldness. I told my KNIGHT about it and he told me not to make it an excuse not to perform well.

Well.. it was COLD indeed.. i told myself it’s juz mind over matter. So I kept on going.. writing.. and always pausing.. looking around the hall for inspiration (and out of boredom) and thinking of my NOBLE KNIGHT. As usual I thought I could manage to get out early but i ended leaving one sub-question unaswered. A 6-marks question.

When the exam’s over I told my Knight. He asked me how was it. But I couldn’t reply much because my fingers were all cramped because of writing the answers (that’s what happen when you haven’t been writing much for 5 months!). I thanked him for keeping me company (I know I would have doze off on the book and notes if it’s not for him) most of the time and tell him how much I love him for what he has done for me.

I was so damn exhausted but I feel like I HAD to reward myself for finally going through this. I went back to Hillpark, changed, prayed, and went to USJ to pick Mc Na

We went to OU for movie. Wanted to watch X-MEN but the time wasn’t suitable for us. So we picked Over The Hedge (against Esoh’s recommendation who walked out of the Cinema last nite). We had late lunch at my favourite cafe, the My News Cafe. Had Ipoh Kuey Teow Soup and apple juice (Esoh will scream at me for eating, we’re suppose to diet). I know i shouldn’t but I juz wanted to indulge myself after working so hard (kononnyer) for the exam. I could barely open my eyes but I forced myself to watch the cartoon until the closing credits and we left for USJ soon after.

The traffic was horrendous because of the rain so we arrived later than I expected in USJ. I rushed back to Hillpark coz the house keys were with me. Dalam pada mengantuk giler babas and rushing tu, something funny and embarassing happened. I was texting Ron and when I arrived at the Touch ‘N Go i pulled out my wallet and scanned it. But nothing happened. Shoot! I took MyKad out of the wallet when I went for exam! I reached for my backpack at the back of the car and hurriedly took out the card. Nothing happened. I panicked a little bit. Then only i noticed it was my UITM ID CARD i tried to scan instead of MyKad. I brought both for my exam. I rummaged through the backpack and found MyKad.. hahahah.. saiko.

I arrived at Hillpark shortly after. I changed to my shorts and tank top, prayed and jump into bed. My Knight told me he was exhausted too so we both decided to sleep early. Hundreds of miles apart though.. huehue… and one of the best, out-of-the-world and craziest night this year actually happened hours later. But that is for me to keep.. and for you never to find out.. Hahahahaha… ‘Nuff said.
