The Greatest Joy as a student....

Whoa...now that's umm...
"maybe in later years get a heart attack from all the accumulated cholesterol, a little hypertension with the excess salt, a blood clotting disorder from the treatment of the heart attack and hypertension, lose your hair from eating too much msg, get swollen ankles and have difficulty breathing because of oedema, uh...possibly get an embolism in your lung, stop breathing, and then say bye bye to planet earth. minor consequences"
That's troubling...guess i better stop eating. but what am I gonna do with that 4 jumbo pack of potato chips sitting on my shelf?

I remember I used to say..the greatest joy as a student is the time after exams, before getting results. Sigh...little did I know such bliss is of non-existence in Japan. My exams finished last Friday...after a gruesome week of 17 papers. Yeah, 17 different subjects to abuse my brains with. I actually got a brain-cramp, same like leg cramp after running too much. Not a very pleasant experience. And guess what?? No holidays after.....They torture you for a week plus, let you have your weekend trying to recover from our lack of sleep, then hand you the results on Monday.

Sigh....well, no point complaining anyway.

Okay....Let's talk about how I spent my weekend shall we?? Not that you have any choice....better read what I have to say or else I'll repeat everything in my next post.

Exams' officially over at Friday noon. Having my brains physically tortured for so long, I was dying to release stress by wacking something, so I asked a few of my classmates out for a game of pool. They gave me the Frankenstein look and plainly said they have to sleep.... another claimed he have brain hemorrhaige. And my usual St.Davidian gang is too far away in Malaysia. ARGHHHHH...where are my friends when i need them?

And so i called the MGS girl, my usual partner in wasting money on pleasantries,...."Hey MGS, let's go somewhere and do something!!" ....and she refused..."Harr?!! What?? No!" . Damn....I must have sounded desperate at that time. And by the way she replied me, there must be something wrong with the way I asked. I mean, you don't usually ask a girl who's not your girlfriend to "go somewhere" and "do something".
Realising that, I rephrase myself asking her to join me for a game of pool...politely this time. Well, she accepted THIS time.

Then I called one of my junior, a Thai girl...
"Heyss...you free?"
"Yes, anything"
"Let's go play pool..."
"With you?? I uhh....I don't know how to play."
"...no worries, I'll teach you."
"Uhm....no thank you. Maybe next time."
"Really? Aww..that's too bad, just me and MGS would be a lil' boring...."
"Huh? MGS's going?...Okay, I'll go too!!"
".................."

As you can see from the conversation we had, I think I gave her the impression that i was trying to hit on her. Man, do I need to improve on my way of asking girls out!!!

Anyways, another guy joined in, which makes the four of us, and we had a great time whacking balls for three hours. Boy, I never knew it was so much fun playing with a stick and balls!! ESpecially when there's four members at it. Well.....I wasn't exactly playing pool, but instead hitting them balls with vengeance. Every hit followed by hissing steam coming out from my ears. Only after 5 games did i manage to cool down enough to play a slow, decent game of pool, that I actually aim before shooting.

Hmm.....exams can do that to people, eh? Even to a half-crustacean like me. And to say that, don't think I've ever been stressed up like this before. Seriously wonder why is it that I stress about something that I've not stressed about before.

Well, whatever that was, it's over. And starting next week will be my other campus' friends exams.....exams? HAH!! "Enjoy" your exams you "$#"%$('&!!!



PS: All the best for your exams!!
