A Week's worth of rather interesting events.

Alright, i apologise for the title; it's lame and single-dimensional. But i'm too stupid to think of one now, so that'll do, i guess. Let's just leave it as it is.

Well, to sum it up, this week is rather interesting. Interesting in a sense that it breaks the usual dull monotonous routine I'm prone to experience. A lot of stuff happened; some memorable, some serious, some pathetic and some sympathetic. There were things that changed, things that were lost, things that were grown and things that were relived. It, you might say, lit a couple of candles as it passed to bring light to certain new things.

Let me enlighten you about something; do you know that this year Malaysians celebrate 3 new years, all in a single month? It's something that happens every 32 years (or so i heard). We have the normal New Year as the year passed from 2005 to 2006, the upcoming Chinese New Year and the Awal Muharram (typo?) which is celebrated among Muslim as a mark of the first day of the year in the Muslim calendar. Well it may not be all that fascinating but 3 new years under one month is not somethng you get every year, no?

This week i struggled through the tormenting torrents of mental suffocation which is the two exam papers Electronic Publishing and Mass Media Law. Oh GOD the suffering! Well, this is brought upon to myself by my own procrastination and severe laziness so i'm not going to blame it on fate or the Heavens or the cheap-skate fortune cookie i got from buying skittles of a Watson outlet (if you're interested, the fortune cookie read "You will face many trials."). I completed E.Publishing with a little luck, but Media Law....AUGH! I might face a FAIL for it, and a probable resit of the paper next semester. Yes, it's too early to assume anything but when you answer a law essay question using things you learnt off a HBO movie, well, you ge tthe idea :(

Monday this week i received news that Ju Ee, friend and coursemate, was hospitalized at Glendeagles Medical Center after undergoing surgery (details on previous post). I'm glad to inform that currently she has been discharged on Thursday and now presumably healthy and well :) Nothing serious is up, and i'm mighty glad that she's fine. I'm just hoping that she's well enough to attend the remainder of our exams after CNY (2 more papers to go).

And then it struck, the feud between a friend and another coursemate (which should be cooled down a little by now). I find the reason of the sudden resentment rather...erm..childish, if i may put it, and it was the sensitivity of the coursemate that must've expanded it into a full-blown battle of words and personality. maybe it's sad to say i think the coursemate kinda deserves it. but hey, i have some creed with him as well, so i'm biased.
Now this person, this coursemate i'm referring to, has struck a cord with my tolerance and gave life to a resentment i left dormant for friendship's sake. He did something to another friend which I find unjust, unfair and inconsiderate. I'm currently awaiting his reply to the stuff i threw at him, if he's making any replies. And i sincerely hope he does, somehow.

The funny thing is that in the wake of this resentment towards him i was revealed to a certain fact regarding him. now i'm left to ponder: is this incident, this thing, made him as he is, as the person i see him as? could it had shaped differently? I found pity and condolences for him, and though i'd love to kick his arse now i'm seeing him differently now, and i have envy and pride for him. i praise him, and i salute him. i just wish that he annoys me less.

Diane, i saw, went through a lot this week. I admire her strength and determination in facing all these turmoils, but it saddens me that i am incapable of aiding her in anyway. All i sort of did was just talk to her, and try to entertain her if i can. Still in the end i felt like i did nothing. I know....of one of her tribulations, and it is a great dismay to see her going through this under the stress of the exams and probably other things in her life. You're strong, Diane. Stay strong. I'll help support your weights the best i can. just ask for it, and i'll help in anyway possible. you have friends to stand by you through everything.

So i sit here now to conclude the end of a week (not exactly the end, though, i still have saturday to live through, but it ended all the same.). Sunday marks the 1st day of the Chinese New Year, and the beginning of a new week. i won't be too happily celebrating, though. Still 2 more exam papers to go, and i can't afford to do badly in them. let's hope i can stand the temptation.

And i found a better title for this post:

" A week's worth of things gained, lost, found and learnt."

Well?.....NAH!

It's lame.

Let's just leave it as it is.
