Well... the holiday is here...Am I happy??

Oh my God!! Words cannot seriously express how ecstatic i am that I passed all my subjects especially my Ethics paper!! I mean Ethics was the one subject I was close to failing!! After getting an abysmal 22/50 for my internal component and I needed to get a 30/50 for my finals in order to pass the bloody subject and it definitely didn't help when everyone kept telling me how difficult the final paper is and it is rather common to NOT finish the exam questions!! I was seriously freaking out and I kept thinking that if I failed the damned subject, it will seriously ruin my study plan!! Well I studied hard (and I do mean hard !!) for the paper and after I finished all my exams on November 20, I couldn't enjoy my time off because I was stressing about the results which will be released on December 10. My friends were telling me that I will pass the subject but my brain couldn't stop giving me the worst case scenarios like getting an overall mark of 30 or something equally as bad. I kept telling myself that I should have answered better and even though my theory was right, my application was wrong. Basically I was freaking myself out until towards the end, I could barely get a good night sleep.

Anyway... I woke up on December 10 at 9 am and I literally ran to my PC to check my results (I know I told everyone that I don't want to know my results until at least the 12th but I blame my inquisitiveness). I was like covering my eyes and peeking at the screen and I almost screamed when I saw that I passed all the subjects (3 credits and 1 pass (that's my Ethics paper!! Yay!!). It's definitely not the best result I could have gotten but I'm just so damned happy I passed the stupid Ethics paper I didn't care about the other three subjects! I mean it's my 2nd time since my Diploma days that I didn't get at least 1 A or Distinction for any of my subjects but whatever! At least I don't have to repeat any of my subjects... I hope that I will never have to repeat any subjects for the rest of my university days!!

Well...I'll be flying to Perth on February 15 to finish my studies...Everyone has been asking whether I feel excited or sad that I'll be leaving KL but honestly...I'm excited but not to the extent where I can't wait to leave the country but I am looking forward to living there. Who knows maybe I'll continue to stay there after my final year... maybe I'll pursue my Masters there after all it'll be easier to look for a job with a Masters degree. However I have to say I will be graduating at a bad time when every one is fearing the possibility of a global recession but I have my fingers crossed that when the day comes I WILL be able to look for a job. After all optimism is a good thing at least that will be what I'll delude myself into believing.

But... I've never really been an optimistic person. I think I'm more of a realist with a healthy dose (more than healthy actually) of cynicism. I mean I'm not all about sunshine, hugs and puppies but I'm willing to change as long as when I graduate I will not be unemployed for like the next five years. God!! I have no idea what I'm saying!! If I'm not stone cold sober, I would think this are the words of a rambling drunk!

Seriously though... I really need to do some shopping before I leave for Perth!! Although as of right now I don't really know what I need... I mean should I stock up on my bath products? I mean Skin Food is not available in Perth ( at least as far as I know...). Well I still have time...

Ooh!! I'm thinking of buying a new camera, the Nikon Coolpix S52. It has all the functions I need (9 mega pixel and a 3 inch screen). It's also reasonably priced at least I think so but I have to confess that I'm rather ignorant about these things. RM888 is what is stated in the website but my brother tells me it'll be cheaper than that but I'll budget RM900 just in case. I'll be taking a lot of pictures in Perth so a good camera which won't cost me an arm and a leg will be ideal for me and after scouring all the websites I finally decided on this model. I mean it's not the prettiest or cutest looking camera in the market but it's good enough for me. Well the holiday season is a good time to shop what with all the discounts and sales.

Ooh... I definitely need to buy some low-heeled boots because I'll be doing lots of walking in Perth but I'm definitely bringing some of my high heels there because I seriously cannot remember the last time I wore anything less than two and a half inch heels. So before I go to Perth, I need to start practicing how to wear lower heels. Funny isn't it? You hear about people learning how to wear 3 or 4 inch heels and here I am learning how to wear flats!! Well... I've always prided myself in being abnormal so I should revel in the abnormality of the situation.... After all being normal is so boring and I hate to be boring. As I have occasionally said boredom kills and of all the things in the world to die from I will hate to die of boredom!
