Close shave..

Exam results are out.. and hey.. first look and i was happy.. saw my cap score.. and it only served to remind me that my 2nd semester of my 1st year may turn out to have the single most decisive factor in my final score.. Even 1 A- and 1 A was not enuf to pull my cap to anywhere near decent levels..

It also doesnt help that next sem i wud need to take Fluids II and Mechanics II !!! And i am still unsure abt wat other module i shud be taking.. or shud i even take a module at all??

Well.. the hols seem to be drawing to an end.. and i am making my maiden trip to my girlfren's house.. Hmm.. it seems more scary than the first time i met her dad.. maybe its coz theres more ppl and its their yard? I cant do watever i want over there.. mus act hush hush and gd boy.. However.. tat doesnt mean i am not wearing black nor not wearing my ear studs.. Haha..

So wats in store next year.. only time will tell whether this sem's results were a one-off or if its really the foundation on which i shud carve out a decent degree for myself..

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Happy Birthday Saravanan!!

As the title goes.. i turn 22 today.. but having gone thru wat not many my age wud have in my life.. not that i am very proud of it or anything.. but perhaps life cud have been a tad simpler or worry-free for me.. but it rarely has been and i have grown accustomed to the fact that problems will never be far away from me.

It has been sometime coming but i have probably realised that devi will be the one for me in life.. I often thank God for letting me meet her.. its not always where there's so many differences between a couple and still for no rhyme or reason they are intertwined together.. Though she makes me irritated.. or even mad at times.. never was there a day when i felt that i shud leave her.. the reason for which i do not know and probably never..

In a day and age where partners change very often.. i can be pretty proud of the fact that i have been with her for a considerably long period of time.. But of coz i shudnt take anything for granted.. humans can be fickle minded and my previous experience itself is enough to remind me that.. Its not often that in a society as advanced as Singapore.. a 21 yr old gal and a 22 yr old guy talk abt having kids.. buying a house and a car.. etc etc.. i often tell myself.. this is not the way to spend yr young school life.. but never have i regretted talking to her abt such things.. maybe i am still the old age person deep inside me.. one that likes the simple life.. hates changes.. and always prefers the long term security to short term flamboyance..

Life is short.. so always try to lengthen it by whatever ways possible.. like mayb try to spend close to 6 years b4 marriage wif yr wife-to-be.. though its not always possible.. and will be full of ups and downs..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAVANAN!!

Post exams.. Bliss or Blues??

The exams finally drew to a close.. i planned to run out of the exam hall and scream but it didnt happen in the end.. i had hyped up the anticipation so much tat once it really hit.. it was bland..

Lets make a quick review on the exams:
1) Fluid mechanics: First paper.. Worst paper.. *(%#%^*&^*($#^&
2) Mechanics of Materials: Not too bad in the end.. might be my saving grace..
3) Singapore Studies: Studied only the night before.. however.. surprisingly.. it might also be my saving grace..
4) Sensors and Actuators: Its very apt to use the phrase "What could have been" over here..
5) Thermodynamics: My personal favourite.. all went well until i saw the killer question 3 which i cudnt start.. do .. nor finish.. 25marks gone down the drain..
6) Of coz there was the stupid modelling module which was non-examinable and its one of the few reasons for my gratitude towards NUS..

So.. the long awaited holidays have finally arrived and the fact tat i am free enough to update my blog tells u how bored i am.. Sometimes.. we yearn for something and when it finally arrives.. we do not realise its true value.. such as the hols. This however does not apply to exams.. unless u wear glasses.. have Einstein's picture in yr wallet and your idea of a pick-up line is smtg like "hey u noe wat is newton's 2nd law?".. the geeks at my sch are driving me mad!!

What have i been doing so far? Well.. i was watching and re-watching some of the worthy movies in my vcd collection. I have been playing this DnD game called baldur's gate tat my gd pal deepan recommended. And yes.. i noe.. i haven yet mentioned the word yet.. I admit.. i have been playing Football Manager 2006.

Suddenly.. as i was lying back on my bed.. the thought of being about to turn 22 finally hit me..
Which means i have 8 more years to the dreaded big thirty. Of coz life doesnt end there.. its not that i am worried abt.. Its abt life taking major changes there.. there'll be someone else heartbeat at night close by you on yr bed.. there'll be annoying sms's from yr boss abt the next meeting.. there may even be that ultimate noise tat i hate.. the loud wailing of a 5kg bundle nearby.. EEkkk..

So.. lets live our "teenage" lives to the fullest.. and lets not have any regrets about it.. whether you did spend yr time worthwhile.. or u jus updated yr blog.. like me.. CHEERS!!
