frustrating week

Depressing, frustrating weeks

Much to their dismay, the exams are to come. The inevitable test to confirm their existence in the school next year. The teacher gave a bright reassuring smile with piles of notes and worksheets that were ever so encouraging. From the very time of intense studying and late night coffees, their time is to come the next few days.

Monday, a time to arrive in the fresh mood or with the Monday blues to school. Facing stern teachers who fire students down for not doing their homework, no matter how “valid” the excuses are. A little homework placed on the every desks while revision will be freshly gone through tonight.

Tuesday, the time to come with a little fresher look than normal. Books carried to school are ready to be tackled and attacked. However, a little later, the pile of homework gone a little higher and revision is on tonight.

Wednesday, a happy moment to know that the school ends early but boring classes rips the enthusiasm. Another late night of revision.

Thursday, a thin smile on the face and the ever thinning optimism, tackled the day with fiery tempers and multiple coffees. Glaring at teachers who ask questions where nobody can answer. The predictable headache coming up now and then. The midnight oil burns as the slogging through notes begins.

Friday, armed with little books and black eyes with the final strength of the spirit to complete the school week and back to the comfy beds where sleep is called the luxury of exam periods.

AND NOW, THE TESTS BEGIN!

mommy!!!!!

dedicated to my mom

You tore your hair out at me

and then you pester at me to study.

Keeping an eye on me while I am cooped up in my room

breathing the "really" fresh air that i need so much.

That is now.

I remembered last time,

16 years ago,

I wake you up regularly every hour at night,

in a very "polite" manner,

Just because I feel like it.

I know that I am a lucky person to have you.

And for the 17th time that I have to tell you....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

A memory gladly remembered

Madeleine, Xuan, Alvin and I went over to my two month old house. Yes, I just moved house. We really have fun, but we do miss our dear friend Sherie. Do you know, to see all of them smile is like giving me a thousand priceless gifts. I feel so happy and glad. Why such smiles matters to me so much is a reason of my own. We really have fun. Swimming, joking, laughing and making our own sandwiches. Then we watched INUYASHA!!!!! (I LIKE!!!!!!) And there's a lot of juicy stuff in between. (i think only they know) Anyway, I love this day. It's been a while since I have fun these two days. hahaha.... Yesterday, i went bowling with a another of my best friend. So yup, it's fun too! I like these two days a lot. So I am taking all those in and place them in the treasure chest in my mind and heart. Have fun people. I shall cherish these memories in my heart.
