Gone
The exams are finally over! They are done, finished with, over! I don't feel any particular joy or whatsoever, but rather a morbid compulsion to start studying. We've gathered the momentum and our routine for the past week was school, then study, sleep, then school. I have endured, we have survived our fellow comrades! And today's outing was perfect therapy to let out everything. Bliss. But first and foremost, there are people I'd like to thank. Okay I just read the above paragraph and it looks really formal. Okay let's start, not in order of merit.
Melissa--> The freaky whizz kid who can walk the dog, mop the floor, play piano and still study for 1 day and know every single thing. She's the one I can depend on for discussions and to ask questions. A big help during the exam period! We're like, close connected friends for 8+ years now! From bus mates and now team mates. Thanks Mel, for like answering all my calls and balancing my panic attacks with your calm and rational sense. And for being extremely funny and patient. And for being able to keep secrets. I can tell her anything and everything. I keep dreaming of her. Ho, I love you Mel!
Jiamin--> We aren't the best combination at times because we'd freak out easily. We'd suddenly have panic attacks at the thought of the results and start worrying like crazy. And the stress is so contagious the whole group we'd get it and we need someone else to knock some sense into us before we are able to calm down. Thanks for the teaching of logs and all the encouragement, SMS-es and the advice. Someone I can talk to about feelings and all. Thanks for always motivating always believing I can bring out the best in me.
Agnes --> The wise sage now, because of influence from HW and all. She's like a changed person and seeing her motivated and bent on achieving her goals will also motivate me too. And she's always there with some quote googled or advice or an answer to a math question. You just give me a sense of security because whenever you say you'd do something, you'd do it. And it'll turn out well. You go, Mrs Goh!
Ham --> Always there to boost my confidence! With all the "You can do it"s and the belief that I can. A great friend always, no doubt always making us nag. I have this suspicion she's drunk half the time. But you're really funny Ham, a weird mixture of childish in your actions and maturity in thinking (sometimes). Because you would always do morally correct things. Sometimes you're cuteness just overwrites everything bad you do. Like intentionally putting a coin into my drink. Prankster, you. But it's a great comfort to know she's always there.
Eugene --> Thanks for always being online and listen to my woes (and telling me yours) of whatever and for lightening up the mood always. Best friend! Ho ho ho :D And the thorn among the roses, you'd be the one who knocks the sense into us when we start to have a mass panic feeling or the one who shakes us out of our reverie.
Melina --> Melina! The one I can always call or message or discuss with. The history phone talk was kind of useful huh. Melina is always great, thanks for teaching me A math! Always the perfectionist, always the one whom we can talk to, gossip and anaylse her aeroplane for her. Ha, and she's always willing to edit my blogskins for me, without condition! Great actress too :D
Michelle --> Thanks for always being the rational matured one, always nocturnal too. Thanks for the late night talks and for always being by your phone, even if it's for 10 minutes for the time when I wanted to get water from the kitchen but I was scared :D For the bonding during flag raising and being sensible. Can't wait for team outing!
After reading that I realized everyone else other than me is rational and sensible. I need some sense. I'm really thankful for all the encouragement and the words of comfort even though it's repetitive. I am able to go online and find someone to let steam off and that person will be ever-so patient to ask me to relax and tell me I can do it, even if it has happened a million times. These people above especially :D Thank you all people, for the encouragement through this difficult time! Alicia Nicholas Jiajin Irene Vanessa Poryee Hongwen Sunye Cherie Eva TripleS Mum Dad Bro for all the support! Still have a lot more I think. But thank you all, thank you! I'm extremely appreciative of all the help, all the encouragement, the motivation. Merci beaucoup!
And it's a huge sigh of relief, it's finally over.
