# 002 Of life and odds and ends..

Getting exam results is one thing and all the hassle after is another. Applications, numerous visits to school, cracking your brain about what to apply for, where to apply to, weighing the odds of getting one or the other course/varsity.. Really, it can all drive even the most docile student up the wall. Plus the fact that one gets different kinds of advice from different sources (mind you, its all with the best of intentions) about different things, all you want to do is go hibernate somewhere deep underground (or as closest to that as you can get) where you're safe from all the chaos in the world. But obviously, that's not even remotely possible. So, on goes life and on you go with it.

I don't regret doing STPM. Not one bit. It was one of the best experiences in my life. I got to know many amazing people I would not have had the chance to otherwise. I got to study in a truly wonderful school in which I feel like I belonged. I had the chance to prove myself over and over again, especially to the biggest doubter, ME. I had the chance to make some true, 'for life' friends. And most importantly, I had the chance to do it my way. And so, I can only cross my fingers and hope for the best after this. Things will work out somehow, I'm sure. They always do.

I aim to take my cousin's advice pertaining varsity life - one which I'm looking forward to everyday.

1. Have fun (as much as I can get without crossing the line, you know : THE line)
2. Maintain a good CGPA
3. Learn something (outside the textbook, that is..about life and all its mysterious twists, turns and bends without relinquishing who I am)

Its like right now... I'm standing in the middle of nowhere. I look back and I've been walking a long, straight road all this while. And now, in front of me, there's a bend in the road. Try as hard as I may, I can't seem to get a look, not even a peek beyond that. The sand dunes are swirling and blinding my eyes. All I can do is bide my time, and wait...

Heard this line in a movie and been thinking about it..Anybody with the answer?

A bird can fall in love with a fish, but where would they live?
