freedom

finally i'm free from the hell brought about by the examinations!

to those who still have to slug it out in the exam halls, slowly, very slowly, slug it out okay? i'm always here to give you moral support of any kind! haha.

so the exams were so-so. as always, the times that i tend to indulge in monologues are during exams. i'll end up cursing and swearing, shaking my head, or even smiling in exasperation because of the ridiculous nature of the questions. it's been 3 long years since i sat for any proper exams prior to this. well, things haven't changed much i suppose. although i must admit i did not really have the mood nor the zest to want 2 study. hopefully i'll do alright.

so now is the start of a 1 and a half months of break, before school starts again in mid-january. i should probably occupy my time with the night cycling programme thing. anyways, the silat friendly in kl has been cancelled. so sad. means we can't pick a fight with the brothers across the causeway. haha but in one way it's good also. i'm not ready to spar yet. haha. i got kicked very hard in the stomach the other day by the president while sparring for the first time. i thought i was going to vomit so i went to the toilet, but instead of vomitting i let out 1 huge burp of air. haha. disgustingly funny. i suppose i have lots of fitness and strength work out to do then this holidays. must eat 20 hard boiled eggs daily like fabian does. must eat brown rice as often as i can. must eat chicken breast everyday. must eat potatoes everyday. haha, like real only.

other than that this month should be spent religiously slacking away. the past few weeks have been mentally strenuous. but the first semester in school has been a blast. delicate matters of the heart aside, i think school has been fun. i've made a lot a lot of new friends here and there, and strengthened a lot of pre-existing relationships along the way. if only studies-wise it was as laid back as it was in my jc days. then it would really be more of a blast.

i suppose that's all then for now. the most important takeaway is that i'm emancipated from exams! and i've even managed to change the blog's layout. yes yes, it's extremely simple. but that's how i like it, and i don't know how to meddle with the javascript all to make it more exotic and sophisticated. i'm really sorry that i'm not IT-savvy like most of you. haha.

and don't mind the rihanna and ne-yo song okay. i think it's quite nice and listenable.

extinct

exactly 1 month later and here i am to blog again!

haha i am really surprised people actually do go to my blog to see if i've updated. wow. people so read my blog. haha. and some have complained how come there's no update. so here goes.

well let's start with raya! i think my raya collection hit 200++ or something like that. and with some more money in the piggy bank. plus the bursary award that i jus got just now haha. that should really beef my finances, hence i declare that yusri's economy isn't in recession! it is healthy i think, but don't expect me to treat any of you all after declaring i'm officially out of recession! go away! haha.

exams are next week and basically i haven't studied yet. AT ALL. tomorrow i should really start! haha. but that's what i've been saying everyday. but at least i've completed whatever essay that i'm supposed to do. at least the grades for my other essays haven't been that bad, so phew! but now for the exams! let's see what miracles i can perform within these 1 and a half weeks. it's crazy. i have 5 exams squeezed in 6 days! i hope i'll pull through unscathed!

and for silat - well at least i think i've grown more confident in myself. i think i roughly know how to attack someone already, but must work harder on strength and fitness. alot of times i've been found wanting and panting away due to lack of fitness. training has been abit tough at times, but must endure! haha don't expect me to be super fit just because i'm done with my NS! and end of next month we might go to kl to spar with our malaysian counterparts. i hope i don't get my sorry ass whacked there! on top of that, that would be th 3rd time i would have gone to KL in the space of 7 months!

and yours truly is the project director of the night cycling for the NUS muslim society! do join okay, all you readers! haha damn, i've to do work too! but i think and i hope it would be fun at the end of the day! at least we have the whole of december to do it! i see hope in my committee, and i think we can pull it off! its during mid-late january people, so make it free! it's on 1 of those saturdays to sundays. so come on down and cycle with us for 1 night only! haha.

and i seem to be building more friendships along the way. it's fun. we have our own groups, and our society. at least i can claim allegiance to the group, and it's real fun. haha sometimes i feel that i'm turning into some screw loose, but it's okay. at least i feel i shouldn't be so dull! haha there's really a need to make as many friends as i can. there's so much things to know about everyone sometimes i get things and facts about them muddled up easily.

but here's the saddest part - another failure in the love department. fails yet again. so project coldplay is out of the window. sometimes i wonder what is it that i've done or i have not done that is wrong. or what is it within me that is inherent that results in failure again. i truly wonder. maybe i shall not bother ever again anymore. at the end of the day, why make the heart strong just to break it once again?

so that's all. i think the next update should be after the exams, which end on the 30th for me! till then, good day!

and note the number of exclamation marks i've used in this article! haha i make it sound like i'mall so jumpy and excited writing this entry like that.
