The day has finally arrived. Though not as dramatic as I thought it would be, considering everything happened when i clicked on the words "Examination Results" on the screen. Actually results were supposed to be announced tomorrow but everyone knows the results always comes out a day early. I thought it would be cool if its tomorrow though, cos then the date would be 06/06/06, not something you would forget in a hurry. Furthermore, i liked those numbers too as they hold some meaning to me. anyway there wasnt much theatrics, since there was only about a 2 second period of anticipation and apprehension before the results materialised before my eyes.
well, it wasnt too good and it wasnt too bad, I got all Bs. Actually, i'm relieved i got a B for the openbook paper(i know i screwed up), but kinda pissed i got Bs for the other two. oh well, no biggie i guess, considering it was sufficient in my case to just pass all papers. All As wouldnt have made a difference anyway.
The most important issue is that I can finally close the page to the longest chapter in my book. There were ups and downs(mainly downs), but i'm glad to say that i've came through, although not in the manner that i would have hoped for. I wasn't really a studious guy, but i would like to say i dint exactly slack off either. why things happened they way they did, i cannot fathom, though i believe everyting happens for a reason. its good to know these (seemingly unfortunate)series of events will only serve to make me a better and more sensible person.
anyway, now thats said and done, there is a more pressing issue at hand. I am the only person I know who still has not sent out a single job application yet. Every mother's son(or daughter) around me has at least went for one interview already and some have even had job offers. Now, i know I'm not beneath most of them in terms of ability or even resume writing talent, so if they can do it, i sure as hell can too. i hope i can at least get some replies before i fly off for Korea next Sunday. I have no idea why most people around me wants to go overseas but for the record, its a reluctant trip for me. I din't even plan the thing and i have no idea what am i supposed to do there. the only thing i know is we're going to the jewel in the palace film site, or something along the lines.
The worst thing that can happen is when some company replies to my application and can't contact me cos im not in the country; to make things worse, they can't get me cos i'm in a place where GSM don't work and i dun have a 3G phone. I have a feeling high anxiety isn't going to be enough to describe how i'm gonna feel.
anyway, nothing i can do about it, i'll worry about it when it happens.^_^
now i just need to get started on writing the next chapter of my life and for the life of me, i can't wait to see what happens next. As they say on the radio,"Good Night, and Good Luck."
