| | i have abstained from a lot of things for the last month of revision.... unhealthy junk food, soft drinks (worried abt energy slumps), alcohol, fun with friends and have been trying to exercise, eat well to keep my body in tip top condition for the exams.... YESH!!!!!!!!!! finally its OVER!!!!!
never have i felt like this man... i think this must be the exams i have worked hardest for.... yet it doesn't mean that the results will echo my efforts... university exams is really a different ball game as compared to before.... not only issit tougher, it is harder to predict what will come out, worst still, what comes out may be something you never see before... and ur fate for the subject is determined in that few hours....
this year is the pinnacle of all my examination experience.... i had 8 exams and mostly was packed at the end.... there had been a lot of ups and downs.... some papers finished with a LOT of regret.... careless mistakes... tight for time... focus on irrelevant things... compared to previous years this was also most demanding on my essay skills... which i am rather weak at... on the bright side... i am really happy with what i m studying... my favourite is experimental economics - which deals with conducting experiments to test economic theories! other top favourites are environmental economics and economics of growth.... i really like stuff linking economics with psychology, and how to improve living standards in countries... guess i din pick the wrong course.... i also realised wat i dread.... theories abt finance!! hahaha... the deep mathematics certainly doesn't turn me on because they have minimal practical implications (basically proofs of simple unrealistic scenarios)... on the other hand the mathematics in econometrics turn me on bcuz they help to refine the ways in which we can measure causality impacts of anything we want!
from here i guess it is a step away from economics into something else to broaden my horizons, and probably something which is less academic and more relevant to future work.....
just received an offer from queen's college cambridge... feels like a good opportunity.... and i think i ll have a tough time deciding between water policy in oxford or management in cambridge.... but all these is subject to me getting gd results first.... *PRAY*
today's paper was game theory.... i had a lot of fear for this bcuz the past year exams were qns tt were never seen before and v tough! it seems like an unpredictable paper! the scenarios can b amazingly tricky although the solution is usually simple... glad it turned out well!! many people left early and went toilet... hahahha so i guess most ppl found it easy too... hope it ll give me my most secured 'A'... cuz the rest... sigh... is difficult to be sure!
YAY!!!! i am liberated!!! its time to catch up on friends... indulge in videos, junk food, good food... catch up on guitar and piano and the latest pop songs... hahahaha.... i have been living in a closed up world for the last mth.... i am really thankful for the great company and support of florrine, kaiping, shiying, navath, jieqi... they are the ppl i see most... and despite exam stress... we kept each other going... neva forgetting to put on a smile.... although it seems like this revision period is tough... but i think studying is actually one of the best times of our lives.... the problems we faced now are definitely easier than in future in the working world... :) soooooo savour the happy moments!!
florrine has been incredibly sweet all these while and supported me thru despite all my ups and downs.... esp midway thru my exam i actually screwed up my most confident paper - maths! just felt like crying then man and couldn't believe wat happened... sorry to have made you worried dear... :) tks so much for the motivating messages every morning without fail.... u are really my source of joy and strength!! :)
of course i have to thank God for blessing me during this period... such tt i can pull through one obstacle after another.... and allowing me to reflect and learn from every exam's mistake.... whether my efforts will be reciprocated with good results is not up to me anymore... i have given all i can.... and i will accept watever the outcome... :)
kor! i hope i ll get a 2:1 at least... then i haven't let u down... :) hows work at ur new place? hope everything is going well and everybody likes u! haha :)
i call home almost every wekk
alright! everyone that is reading this.... from now on i m ALWAYS free for coffee appointments!! catch YOU soon!!! may your life be blessed and u will always find fulfillment all your endeavours! have a great day!!! :)
there is so much to learn... so much to do... so much to enjoy.....!!!
