calling

I'm on leave for a week. The plan is to study well and prepare for the upcoming exams. I've not exactly worried, just hope that I'd finish all the needful read ups to understand topics of focus in order to score. My past tests results were devastatingly disappointing. My coursework as a group didn't help me feel any better. Despite our efforts to get the projects start off earlier and 'sub-contracted' among ourselves, I found myself battling with another nervous break down. In fact this team work was such a bad episode, I'm no longer in talking terms with a particular member. Time to revise again. There's a calling.. deep within me which shouts stop procrastinating! It's time to prove my worth..

It's a pass

Upon receiving the exam timetable, I applied for leave on the days I'd be sitting for the papers. My branch is really down on manpower so this application will not be easily approved. I'm prepared for the rejection. Sat for my 1-hour long IT test. I don't know what went wrong but I no longer fuss over bad results. I wasn't exactly happy when I realised I did passed even without completing the test. He must have been the most lenient lecturer I figured. While I was doing the test almost confidently, the screen died on me and it erased my work which was worth almost 30minutes of my time! Everything looked differently after that. I began asking God what just happened. Madness followed the silence from my unanswered question. I didn't want to continue. The remaining ten minutes, I smiled with an imaginary white flag. I whispered to Hiddy with declaration to give up. Time's up. Again, the pessimistic me failed myself even before 'the deeper guy' assessed my input. Perhaps, I'm just thankful I didn't fail even when I was expecting to. I went home pondering over my academic progress. I had so much on my mind that I forgot to tap the Ezylink cepas card when I got off the bus. Phil is holidaying in China. Even though we are miles away, he keeps me updated with sms and mms. It seems as if I'm very much blessed in my love life. A relationship is not to be tested but managed. Looking forward to finish my projects by this Sat so that I can enjoy my Sunday with my family at the zoo!

Sunny retreat



It was a lovely Sunny Sunday. I simply love with the sea and the blue sky decorated with fluffy clouds. If I could, I'd like to try sailing. I was looking forward to this island retreat and prayed for no rain. Ophelia and Putri joined our family in exploring Chek Jawa. Here's our ride. The common white vans with 'PU' plate numbers.






Not only dead leaves were scattered on the ground. So were these fungus which caught our attention.





Caught a bird on the tree. How I wish I was equipped with way better camera..




We went up to the observatory Jejawi tower. The greenery and surrounding islands are really nice. Dad named a number of islands. I looked lost.























Dad decided to get off the van and walked the way back to the jetty leisurely. He pointed that this way, we'd take more pictures.







While the rest of the ladies were feeding rabbits we saw, dad took this picture of me.




Under the sun, the rest of us were baked. I was overdone. I love the outdoors and the sea. The main problem is I get burned super easily. It was a lil comforting when dad gave us a coconut drink treat before we head back for the hustle and bustle of the mainland.
