smells like freedom

alrighty so i've graduated. *beams*

not as overwhelming a feeling as i'd imagined it'd be, no shouts of "bi ye le!!!!!" outside the exam venue like some bugger did last year, but a deep heave of relief and sweep of amazement would definitely suffice yea.

16 years! blink of an eye isn't it. i'm just amazed at how i managed to survive the entire educational system and am still kicking well today. especially since yours truly is someone whose parents get called up at home by the primary school teachers saying how poorly i'm doing, whose vice principal spoke to a few times about dropping subjects in sec school, failed thru countless exams and tests throughout her sec sch and jc days, made teachers sigh and sigh, blah blah blah. there were so many times that i could have just been chopped off by the system. lol. i hated studying and everything, wrote curses to my parents in my assessments books, let them read and tore them up.

thankfully i always wake up at those major exams and pulled thru somehow.

so there, here's a good reason to be relieved and perhaps, a little room to be proud of myself for struggling my way thru eh. *beams again* thankful for the congratulations calls and msgs from loved ones.

well officially i'm shedding my identity as a student! feels funny cos i've had that identity all my life. u know, being a student, u just have to be accountable to yourself, pace ur own studying and stuff, get to take naps in the day, skip lessons when u just feel like it. life's not gonna be so simple from now on. gotta start learning how to be responsible not just to myself, be much more disciplined and stuff. being a student can be such a bitch sometimes, but i just oh-so-know that those years would be one of the best memories in life i'd look back to.

heehee anyway after the paper today the form of celebration took the form of watching spiderman 3 and eating my fav cold soba and ebi tempura at akashi jap restaurant! *slurps la.. the restaurant gives u cash voucher each time u eat there, and the value is 30% of how much u spent. we used our $18 voucher from the last time and got another voucher again. so shiok. good biz tactic to keep the customers coming. we went at 8+ almost 9pm and it was still so crowded with pple. and everyone was using their vouchers hehe. super shiok la the food.

and spiderman 3, i thought i'm just going for a normal, blockbuster movie and din expect it to be such a tear-jerker this time round. spoilt the eye makeup that i specially put today in earnest after weeks of no makeup fun. hehe. lotsa themes in the show which struck a chord, or many chords. hmm perhaps will blog a lil bout it one day.

okie now i've lotsa stuff to do:

-move out of hall, try not to feel nostalgic
-dental appointment yet again
-buy things i need for the trip
-attempt to squeeze all my stuff into the backpack
-adjust my sleeping clock else i'd be a panda strolling thru aussie streets
-pack up feelings

i wanna blog abit bout hall, but i'm not sure how exactly to go about it. too many feelings inside me i think. last night here.. trying to relish every moment but i'm feeling like a zombie now. yeaa i slept at 5am and woke up at 8am yet again.

think the least i can do is go walk around hall for the last time now. blog bout it later.

tata.
