Everything shall return normal

I was terribly sick few weeks ago, having persistent fever for 2 weeks accompanied by flu, cough and headache (seem familiar right? Yea, all those are the symptoms of the hottest influenza A H1N1). Nevertheless, the symptoms and illnesses subsided before I was declared a carrier. Phew~~

And thanks to those who wished me a speedy recovery.

Then came the release of AS result. To my great relieve and satisfaction, I got straight A's (4 A's to be precise), and so did my buddies in college. There were 53 or 54 students who got 4 A's (I counted 1 by 1 from the name list leh) and this accounted one-third of the people who took the exam in June.

Not forgetting those who obtained staight A's in all the 3 subjects they took. Congratz!!! All the countless hard work had been paid off. What was next? Celebration time of course. Most of us escaped the college and had a good time in shopping complexes, making the college building seemed evacuated (almost).

Next up was IELTS tests which was held on last Friday and Saturday. I was feeling very stressed but can't find any way to release the tension. I tried to jog every evening until nearly run out of energy. For that fraction of time, it seemed as though the dreadful thought of IELTS tests faded. However, the feeling surfaced not long later when I was resting at night.

I know the best way of keeping myself from thinking unnecessarily is to keep myself extremely busy. But I was not in the mood of doing anything meaningful and so let the negative imagination drowned me.

Nevertheless, I finished the tests yesterday. I won't comment about the tests here 'coz what's done is done. It's time to get back on track with everything as I was left behind due to IELTS preparation. I can finally return to my normal study routine. No more jealousy towards Daniel (my housemate) 'coz he has been studying like mad when I was completely occupied with IELTS stuff as he had done the tests weeks before me. Yeah yeah!

Trial exam is just around the corner. There is so little time for so many things. I pray that I manage to finish learning and revising the exam syllabus before the exams.


Bring it on!
