Exam is over. Haha. Had my first (and last) exam for the semester yesterday. I hope everything went well. :) I completed the paper in slightly less than two hours. Could have left together with qy and got a free ride home. Oh well, my kiasu nature made me stayed until the last minute. I just don't want to bang my head against the wall when my results don't turn out well and I start blaming myself for leaving the examination hall early. Haha. I just want to avoid having regrets.

So even if I don't do well, it's not because I didn't work hard enough.

One more semester in nus. Probably one more exam to sit for. At most two. Though the past semester had been rather hectic, I still enjoy studying. Sometimes, I felt that I'm really lucky, in the sense that I enjoyed most of my modules in nus, and I've made some good friends during my undergraduate days. Not many have both of these two conditions satisfied.

Went back to school today to attend a talk. My idol gave the talk. Haha. He became my idol ever since I realized he is able to communicate maths effectively in both languages. Of course, his research is quite outstanding too. Haha. I think he is a real talent. And he is quite good looking as well. BUT, before you try to find out more about him, let me add one more fact: he is married with a daughter. Lol.

I remember I used to feel jealous or unhappy when someone else did better academically, or is more successful in some ways. I'm glad that this belongs to the past, and ever since the later part of my jc days, I no longer have such negative feelings of those who did better. Instead, I thought that true friends should encourage and motivate each other to improve. For the recent two years, I have this sense of excitement when I heard of some outstanding individuals.

Having jealousy washed off is one of the best things which happened in my life. It added a new light to education and made me more keen to learn from others. It's the process of learning from others and reflecting upon ourselves which make us improve. The school environment and people I met all have got a role to play, and I'm really grateful for that.

Haha. I think I've talked too much for the day. Shall take a rest tonight. Have to start to piah for my thesis. Meeting my supervisor next week. Argh.
