aaaaa

been sitting here for a while and still i can't really think of anything to say.
but i suppose i should post something since today is a significant day (also, the eve of another significant day) and some mention is deserved.

if you do not know, today is NUS results day, and also my fourth time receiving results from NUS via the very clever form of an sms. and it was almost as if the excitement has been lost for me, as compared to the previous semesters... no pain night was toned down, i slept reasonably well, and didn't really think much about the impending results sms at all.
i guess it's just the numbing of the entire process: the starting of school and studying and recess week and midterms and assignments and mugging and deadlines and then reading week and exams and results... it all becomes more or less a routine and we get used to it.

but of course, at the moment right before one clicks to open the sms, heart rates will definitely rise as a certain trepidation suddenly washes over... that irreversible moment when the thumb makes contact with the screen, and the letters and numbers all appear instantly, hitting the eyes in a simultaneous fashion... within a second we have seen everything.

and then maybe one goes through the five stages. (or not, depending on that last figure in the sms.)

sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

either way, congratulations to those who have done well and exceeded their self-expectations! and especially to those who have received their results for the final time and graduated with much joy (:

as for those who haven't done as well as they've hoped for, it's not over and don't harbour too much disappointment for now - fighting!

ah, i suddenly realize a certain pattern if a graph could be drawn with cap on y and sem on x... (could it be correlated with something?) and also, how 'jinxy' it has been lately: yesterday night's poker cards to predict things, as well as when the sc bros wanted to make a treat bet and i said it would be risky if i did.
