Result time.

Exams are over. The moment every student is relieved. But unfortunately, something smacks them in the face. It's call the exam results.
Ugh. The dreaded moment that a student hates.



Some might actually look forward to it because they want to see how well they have done. As for the rest of us, we don't want to see it because we know it sucks. It's just a question of how bad.



So today, I got back my result for my economics paper. It wasn't really good nor was it really bad.
But personally, I think it's definitely below my expectation.



I'm looking at my paper, expecting disappointment to hit me but it didn't come. I wasn't disappointed. Instead, I was motivated and excited which is good.

So instead of wasting time, moping and crying over spilled milk, I am searching for the mistakes that I made. I'm analyzing what went wrong in this paper and thinking on how I can avoid that in the future.

I'm just moving on and thinking on how I can be better instead of concentrating on how I sucked.

I like that. I like how I'm unfazed by the not so great result. 

But it's true.

The past does not equal the future. Just because you suck now, doesn't mean you'll suck in the future. The thing about life is, you make your own choices. You can change any circumstances you are in.

Failure or lack of success is just a learning experience. So learn from it.



Life will kick you in the ass most of time and you just need to learn how to get up from it. So yea.



Right now, I'm looking at my upcoming May AS examinations and I'm saying, "COME AT ME, BRO!"

 

So yea.

To any students out there, "May the odds be ever in your favor~!" Or to put it simply, "Good luck & stay strong~!" 

Exams.

Currently, I'm having my exams. The biggest pain in a student's neck.


 

I don't why I'm so damn lazy. The exams is on but yet, here I am, going online.

 

Maybe, it's because I feel that reading it in the last few hours of the exam isn't going to save your ass or help you. I feel that reading it will only make you more stressed because you start to realize how much you really don't know or understand.

So whatever.

What will be, will be.

PS : My favourite book is being turned into a graphic novel (in a different point of view). Yea, I'm so rushing to the bookstores to buy it.

The original series

The Graphic Novel version

 

The Power of Books.

I just finished reading The Hunger Games Trilogy and damn, it really messed me up. I mean, it's been a week since I finished it and yet, it is still lingering in my mind until now.



This is why I say books are powerful. Words are powerful. The trilogy literally entered my insides, shook it up real bad and left. So now, I'm left wondering and just pondering. All I can think about is Katniss or Peeta.

Personally, I love the first two books of the trilogy but I did not like the last book at all (Mockingjay). I didn't really like how it ended. So yea.

SPOILERS here,

I didn't like how in the third book, Katniss (the main character) just somehow went slightly insane. She lost her spirit for fighting back. 

That was the main problem to me. How can she just give up? Or rather go insane-ish? 
I know that she only human but still, she had so many loved ones around her. She had a support system. Why didn't she use them?  


[sighs]

That is why Uglies series from Scott Westerfeld is my ultimate favourite series. I mean, Tally Youngblood didn't give up. Instead, the stubbornness in her remained, maybe even grew stronger. She always fought back.

So as much as I want to make The Hunger Games my new ultimate favourite, I can't. 
Hunger games trilogy is a good series, in fact, a great series but the ending just doesn't settle for me.  

And probably, the main reason why Katniss losing her spirit irked me is that there are people out there who sometimes, lost that burning spirit in them.

And recently, I could have been one of those people. I guess, the book is just a big huge slap on my face.

The book made me realize that we are all Katniss or rather the main character in our life. We are the girl on fire. We all have the spirit burning in us. Question is, what are we going to do?
How are we going to live our life?
What choices will we make?
Will we let that spirit in us die?

So, may we let the spirit in us burn forever! May we always keep fighting back! May we live our life to the best we can! May we just live! May we  make the choices that will make us smile!




Let's set the world on fire~!

Let our story be a good one to be told.


That was what I learnt from The Hunger Games, anyway.

 Anyhow, what I want to say is that books have the power to plant ideas, invoke thoughts and change an entire person perspective. Maybe, that is the reason why I love reading so much.



So, don't mess with books and never underestimate the power of books (or the author) 



PS : I'm excited on the Hunger Games movie. I would like to see how it goes and if it lives up to the book. 



PSS : I just bought the new series by Scott Westerfeld, Leviathan. (yes, I know it's been out for ages. But I'm still excited about it~!)

Randomness.

 "Random decisions are pretty good decisions."

 Last week was pretty cool. I went on random places to eat twice. So yea. It was fun.

So here are some pictures of the awesome lunches~!

Mushroom Soup

Fish & Buttered rice

Chocolate Mudpie

Bento

Salmon Teriyaki

The Bento Set.

Honestly, I love the Japanese restaurant a lot though. It has a nice & cute ambiance. Fun thing is, I found this restaurant randomly too. 

Yea...

By the way, I read Naruto chapter 537 : Itachi & Sasuke's reunion. It totally pissed me off as I just can't stand it. I was really disappointed. So, to make myself happy, I spend the weekend writing a fanfic on these two brothers.

Yes, I wrote a fanfic. I'm not a huge supporter of fanfics but yea, this time, I just had to because Masashi Kishimoto, mangaka of Naruto is just trolling us. So yea.

I wonder what this week chapter will be like. *runs to read the manga*

Anyhow, enjoy the fanfic. There's no yaoi, yuri, pairing or incest whatsover. There's just pure family sibling love. 

Naruto Oneshot.

the song "you"

Translation :

What are you doing now, at what place?
Are you at a place where this sky continues into?

I lost that which has buried my heart until now
And noticed it for the first time
The fact that you had been supporting me this much
The fact that you had been giving me smiles this much

The price of having lost it is way too preposterously great
And I desperately reach out my hands and struggle to recover it, but-
It slips by just like the wind; it looks like I’ll reach it but I don’t

My chest is tightened by loneliness and despair
And my heart seems to break
But your smile that remains in my memories
Always encourages me

Let’s return to that time again
I’m sure that we’ll be all right this time
I’ll always laugh by your side
Right by your side¡­

What are you doing now, at what place?
Are you at a place where this sky continues into?
Will you be there with a smile like always?
Now I simply keep wishing for that

What are you doing now, at what place?
Are you at a place where this sky continues into?

It's just so ironic. You were the one who introduced me this song and we used to sing it together. And now, when this song is played, I think of you. The lyrics in this song just express how I feel about you very well now. I feel this way exactly.

It's sad that I lose you as a friend and I wish so much that I could turn time back. I wish I could start again and make sure that I didn't do it. But thing is, I can't. As much as I regret what I have done, I can't go back to the past. And since, you obviously have erased me from your mind, I have no other choice but just to wish you well. So yea, I hope you are well. And no matter what happens, you have a friend in me.

But thanks to you, I now know what mistakes not to make in regards to friendship. You also taught me a beautiful lesson on friendship and life. I thank you for everything...as a friend and as teacher.

If we could meet again, I just hope you'll be able to forgive me by then.

   

As much as I want to think about our past together, I can't because if I do, I will miss out in the present. I don't want anymore regrets. Anyway, as what people say, when a door closes, a window opens.

Eventhough, I lost a friend that I didn't want to lose, I have gained friends that I never thought I would.

I have been lucky to have gained such great friends. (yes, Epsteria, Wynne & Emma~!) 

So enough with moping about you, I have to move on. I'm just so lucky to have found Epsteria, Wynne & Emma. We just click so well. So yea. They have showed me what friendship is about and I really appreciate it.

Thanks so much, you guys~! Muacks.

 

Anyhow, to all my friends out there, thanks for being my friend and putting up with my crap. If I ever offend or hurt you, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to anyone that I have hurt.

Anyway, this is just a post about me, telling myself to move on already. hehe. It's not that this doesn't matter, it's just that what is in the past, is in the past and we all have to move on sometime. We can't keep carrying this sadness forever. So yea.
