just created my online album (thanks to germaine from whom i realised i can get free online album :>)so people who haven't seen my lousy digicam photos from my trips in the last 2 years can now take a look at them. WARNING:lousy digicam photos is an understatement.resolution of photos can harm eyes of expert photographers.please wear glasses/contact when looking at photos directly.
just read germaine's and wing ki's blogs. seems like the rest of uni is in a state of exam stress syndrome stage II:when nothing matters except studying. {FYI, stage I:exams are coming but i think i still have time to play. and stage III:exam is tomorrow,i need to sleep but i can't fall asleep. and stage IV(often fatal):oh shit,should have revised this but why did i think it would not come out in my exam (often followed by crying,hyperventilation and in serious cases, loss of consciousness. but so far,i've only witnesses one case of stage IV}
as i was saying,most people are in stage II now, and stage III starts when exams finally begin.i've been through that,so i know it's no laughing matter.sadly,i cannot do much for these people,except maybe to "coach" the second years as much as i can during their weekly practice sessions.
i still remember at esther's home cell few weeks ago,her cell group leader asked the group what was the one thing they did for their friend(s) which they consider to be crazy (as in go all out for their friends)? after thinking abt it,i've come up with the three ways i've gone all out for my friends (or at least i think so)
1) when my best friend and i fell in love with the same guy,i stepped back (but she disappointed me by not going after him as well.nonetheless,i'm glad our friendship is not ruined by that guy :>)
2) i baked 2 cakes last year for 2 of my friends bdaes. "huh?it's nothing great" i can hear some of u commenting. well,considering that the last time i baked was when i was 14 and that was when i almost failed my home economics exam, i think it's pretty courageous cos if i screwed up the cake,everyone is gonna 'hantam' me during the celebration. although it was instant cake mix (which is like idiot proof),the cakes din exactly turn out nice...but according to the birthday boys,the cake tasted good.so i'm relieved *phew*
3) getting up early on fridays for the past 3 weeks to go and help the second years for their practice. once again,nothing WOW abt it...but considering that i could have slept in after a tiring week at clinics,i think it's pretty impressive. at least i am impressed with myself when i managed to drag myself out of my nice warm quilt even though i could have slept for another 2 hours or more.
yeah,i think that's probably the top three i have in mind.haha.
although honestly,i think the best way one can go all out for a friend is to really treasure the friendship and remain friends till your hair go grey and have to walk with walking sticks or frames. yeah, that's really going all out for friends. i do have grey hair now,but still pretty much walking without aid,so i guess i am still far from my own defination. *sighz*
strangely enough,even though i have not much exam stress,i can feel the same type of tension along with the rest of the uni.i'm not in stage I-IV of exam stress syndrome,i'm in stage I of assignments syndrome. stage I:how on earth am i going to start doing the assignment? stage II:oh no,assignment due in n weeks time and i haven't started on it. stage III:gotta go do my assignments,no time left!! and stage IV:maybe i should have asked for extension of deadline...but now it's too late!! (followed by headaches,tight muscels and rarely, hyperventilation).
basically,everyone is in their fight or flight mode now...which makes the air here filled with tension. and the gray gloomy skies not helping with everyone's lousy mood.
well,eventually, the clouds will clear...exams would be over, assignments handed in..and once again, life would be beautiful.just have to chin up and brace the days ahead. *ARGH*
