Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Liberation. Freedom. My last exam ended today, and the resulting rush of pure gladness was nothing less than expected. I would assume that the Spec paper did something to contribute to this, the fact that I managed to put a reasonable answer down for every question is something not everyone can attest to I think.

I definitely thought it was a hard paper, especially during reading time, while going through it and going "GG" in my head. Somehow during the paper as I went through it, it just sort of fell into place. It was an almost surreal feeling. And a good one at that, after spending 30-45 mins on the last question and getting a reasonable answer (the previous answers included something like negative time, complex time, and other hilarious ones).

I must say, God has really helped me through this trial, one that I'm pretty sure I couldn't have overcome as well as I did without help. It's really through Him that I seem to be pulling great reults out of nowhere from. I thought I should mention Him, God doesn't get enough press on my blog compared to how much He does for me =P

So, I bought the World of Warcraft expansion: The Burning Crusade right after the Spec exam, and have been installing it for, at last count, the last 3 hours. My motherboard SERIOUSLY needs replacement. But that means no computer for a few days. And these days are very important. I also got a new 500gb HDD =D my dad insisted that that was my christmas present -.-", but that's ok I guess, really needed one especially before I left for Singapore. So that's where my whole evening went.

Well today also marked the last time I'll ever be in school in my school uniform again. As I came out of the Spec exam, participated in the usual post-exam banter that actually went for a much shorter time than usual, I found myself stuck in school waiting for my mum to finish work and pick me up. Spec was from 3-5.15pm (terrible time by the way) so I didn't have to wait too long I guess, compared to what the rest of this year was like. But the cool thing was, everyone left rather early, and so I found myself left alone with my thoughts. I instinctively found myself sitting in the middle of the Quad, and reflecting, with "Time Of Your Life" playing on my ipod (somehow). It almost got pretty emotional.

So I'm installing WoW right now (which is taking ages due to my failing motherboard). There's a million things to do, but definitely no time to do them all, so let's get to the important stuff.

Edit: Sigh, I think my motherboard has failed to the point that I can't even play WoW properly. The fps I get is so low that it's barely even playable. This is bad news, and probably means that I'll have to take my computer to the techs again to get a new one, possibly waiting for quite a long time in the process. Without a computer. Evil evil news indeed.

Good night.
