Exams are over… Holidays begins..
Monday, October 31st, 2005She started a review of her exams in her blog… it went something like this:
"Dear journal,
It’s been awhile since I’ve written to you. It’s because I had exams and there was no way I was gonna waste my time reviewing each and every paper that I had.
Well, my first paper sucks. It was Criminal Procedure Code.
It was confusing enough that I had to have an objective test question (4 mind you!!) in the form of problematic questions.The lecturer was being unreasonable and insane by makin’ such questions for our second test. It had totally deflated my whole mood to excel in the finals. I kept on thinking that there’s a chance of me scoring the finals (because finals was over 60), but after actually doing the finals, I would have to pray hard that I pass. I would need a 23/60 to pass. Or at least a 30/60. With the amount of casuality of Chinese name cases.. (wrong name with wrong case), the low confidence that I am facing… I seriously wonder if i’ll even get that far.
Second paper came the next morning. Professional Practice.
This was a confusing paper too. My carry mark was not that bad. I gotten a 42/60. That means I need about 8 more marks to pass over 50. We had to answer 4 Question, a minimum 2 marks each question was sufficient to pass. I am a little bit confident to this paper to pass. But only to pass the paper with a C. That’s a little sad thing for me.In exams, I will always try my best to be the best. Strive to get the best exam results. But this semester seems impossible. Even though I vow to try my best and try to get my aim for the semester ana although I am a little sadden at the fact I know I cannot get the best exam marks this semester, but I am still very relieved that the two papers that I wanted to get over and done with is over. Regrets? I don’t think there is any… I don’t think I could have done any better than I did. Given the fact that the semester was really a funny one on us all - I am not surprised at my results if it was bad. (But I will be surprised if I get a good result. Nevertheless I will be happy and bersyukur…)
Third paper was a breath of fresh air. Evidence paper. On a Sunday.
The tips sir gave was very helpful. I could give him a quick hug. But I won’t. Not appropriate. He was the lecturer that every senior had warned not to take with. I went against the odds. Plus, I wasn’t warned about him. Trusting my better judgement, it turned out that I had a great time with him. I felt special in his class. My carrymarks was good. 32/40. Only 8 marks to pass. But that wasn’t my true aim for this subject. An A or A- would be good to relinquish my GPA a notch of balance. My aim.
Forth paper came on the 25th October, 2005. It was Jurisprudence 1.
By this time, I started to slack in studying. Why? Because I knew that I only had three more papers left. This paper was more about English language rather than the substance of the subject. Carrymarks for this paper was the lowest amongst the 6 subjects i was taking. But, I didn’t mind. I was just to contented that my papers are almost ending!
I had a long break after that paper. Had to go to "break fast" with my daughter after the paper. Then, the next day I had to watch KOMA2 @MidValley. Won tickets as usual. Horror - suspence movie. But I was happy to act all silly with my daughter. It was fun. Thank you girl, needed that.
The long break ended with a paper on 29th October, 2005. Public International Law 1.
Well… this paper I can’t say much. I didn’t really check my carrymarks & I just didn’t bother to do so. I had dressed up as if I was going on a date though. Had "fought" with my mom to wear her new tudung. Well, we didn’t really fight. It was a playful squabble. Had "break fast" with my other daughter - Fary and her brother Daniel. It was a delicious meal of Macaroni and Cheese @Kenny Rogers near Ampang Point. I could’ve ate the quater chicken, but decided I was gaining too much weight for my own good. I decided that it would be impossible to study that night for the last paper. So.. to cure my boredom, I booked my man to take me out that night. It was a Saturday and it was a time to watch EPL or simply hang out at mamak stalls. Met up with old mates from highschool - Tafridzal and Muadz. Both shocked @ the way I have turned out. All fulled up.
(notice how my journal had diverted from exams to great outings?)
Today, 31st October, 2005. Civil Procedure 1.
This paper I aim for an A. But it’s a little impossible. I agree that the question was tricky but I know that I gave it my best shot. I hope and pray God would meet up with my expectation for this paper.
Before the paper, I met up with Fary and Pugut in a room. We stayed there and tried to study. Instead, we were so hooked up singing More Than Words that was re-sung by Frankie J. It was nice ot just hang out there. But, it was more nice to know that the two girls thinks I can kep a secret.
*Yes girls.. I keep any news I receive to myself, unless it is a known public thing… That’s why Pugut doesn’t know bout the whole story of what happened, Fary darlin’… I always think that friends should know from the mouth of the friend themselves. That’s why if I know from others, I would rather act like I don’t know at all…*
After the paper, I was so happy. It’s over! The whole 11 days of exams had finally be over. I came home with Fary and had "break fast" @Johnny’s OU. It was a great time eating there. On our way down, we found out that blook had just opened in OU old wing. It was next to Living Quaters area. At this, we were both excited.
Later, after we had all finished our steamboat meal, I was thinking of having coffee at the nearby San Fransisco Coffee. I miss sitting and having coffee with my friends. It was funny how me and Kabir was thinking of the same thing at the same moment.
Kabir, Fary and me had the Caramel Cappucino small. Raina had just sat there and enjoyed the air and conversation. We could really talk and talk. From art system in Malaysia and Australia to other bizarre things that is happening all over.
In the midst of me listening and lookin’ around, I spotted an odd couple of girls in costumes. It turned out to be Hazlina and her cousin, Zetty. Both wearin’ such beautiful costumes. Zetty was wearin’ a gypsy purple costume whilst Hazlina was wearing the whole get-up of a witch. They were heading to TGiF Halloween party. Kabir had been so kind to have taken the picture of us together. I looked a little fat, but that’s how I am now and I just have to get to use to it.
*or I could try to loose the kilos i gained*
After about 10pm, we decided to move. We head in the supermarket in Jusco and found couple of really nice chocolates. Fary had insisted that Raina tried the Lindt 70% dark chocolate. I couldn’t resist. I bought a bar too. There were only two bars left. Just nice for the both of us.
Both siblings tried the chocolate and had concluded it to be of a really good taste. Bitter but good. Sigh. The influence we have on each other. It’s nice to see how we are with each other. But it’s good influence. We have equal-ed ourselves with each other. These are the friends that you grew up with during university life.
We parted @10:45pm after a very relunctant parting. Promises was made to go watch movies and theater… also maybe opera or orchestra @Philharmonic Orchestra, KLCC.
Fary drove me home. Met up with a new acquaintance who happens to be Fary’s neighbour @Coffee Hut, next to Rasta. Ridha was his name.. i think. Anyways, she dropped me off and had gone to Hut to meet up and have drinks with her friend and newly made friends there. I think he was a persuasive guy but in a nice way. Not tacky or disrespectful. For such a short meet, I am rather passing lots of comment eh? hehee… Maybe I’m just still high from the coffee… and the feeling of exams over.
Pugut called up from KK. It’s good to know she had a safe flight and she made it back. Will wait for your arrival back in KL. Fary, she called the same time Pugut called. I returned her call and it’s nice to know she arrived home safely. She told me that she met up with some people at Coffee Hut who happens to be my primary school friends. She had met up with Ida Farhani and Megat. Yes… both my friends during the early years of my life.
Now it’s pass 2am. Mom’s asleep, Dad’s watching tele downstairs and my sister is studying and preparing for her exam. Me, I just ended my conversation with my last chatter. Now, I’m alone online typing this blog….
Well, that’s my 11 days report. Now it’s a new day. The start of my 1 month holidays. I shall use it for the good times. My last holiday. Then, it’s the start of new and FINAL semester of my undergraduate life! It really doesn’t feel that long after thinking bout it. Sigh….."
It was all that she could type up that night. She ended her journal and published it online. Feelin’ sleepy but happy, she logged off and head to bed….
