THank God..

Thank God..

Finally a chance to BLOG... I’ve been busy for the past few months preparing for my MAJOR exam. The paper I’ve been worried ever since I came into this field. But thank God after a month of waiting for my result, I got through all the papers at first attempt. Although it was a disappointment as my fav subject got the worst result of all my other subject, but it’s still a blessing to see the unexpected subjects to get such good marks. Well I guess I have nothing to complaint about after spending on average of 16-17 hours a day just studying and only, I repeat, ONLY 3hours of sleep. It was my worst nightmare to go through these two months. And I had always thought the A-level course I went through was Hell. In this small bit of time, I had actually seen times I had almost given up. I couldn’t shake the pressure of my shoulder. But with a few good buddies around also striving for success, I held on and pushed even harder for success. The one thing I realize with my newfound friends is everyone is trying to be the best but it wasn’t at the expense of good friendship. My mates had been a great support to me in those crucial times. I admit I’m not a smart student, far from being a genius. But with the help of most of my mates in class, I was able to do pretty well in all exams.

Yes I finally had the chance to feel what it was like to fall asleep in class. Before, it was humanly impossible for me to sleep as I was and still is sitting right in front of the lecturer. It is so close that I had always joked about having the opportunity to count my instructors nostril hair. After days of lack of sleeping hours, the impossible eventually happened. It was one of those meteorology classes which I had always paid my most attention, and it happened twice in one hour. You wouldn’t believe this. I had always joked around about how my teacher dozed to sleep while writing a math formula but this time I was the one falling asleep while penning down notes during lecture. I had started of well, scribbling down as fast as I can almost reaching the speed of sound cause my instructor was trying to beat Concorde. First line of my notes was in perfect handwriting. Second line was not too bad. Third line was so-so. Forth line was hard to write in a straight line. And the final fifth line was just plain black. I had nicely slept right under my instructor’s nose. It was funny though because my hands were still pulling across my A4 notes; scribbling stuff that only God knows what and my instructors which are like eagles trying to catch a rodent couldn’t detect that I was sleeping under his nose. Wait! This wasn’t the best part. Not long later, the same day the same instructor, I did another miracle. I performed a trick nobody in class could do. I was once again, faithfully listening and trying my very best to understand his teachings. As you all know when you are sitting right in front, you have to tilt your head slightly backwards, right? I was listening and listening until a point I suddenly realize I was in Genting drinking coffee with a couple of friends in StarBucks. Okay it was serious because i had actually reached a term scientist call REM (Random Eye Movement) which is basically the dreaming stage which usually starts at the 3^rd to 4^th stage of sleeping. So in that dream later I had a sudden neck pain which woke me up straight away. I had actually tilted my head so much that when I opened my eyes, I was staring at the fluorescent light with my mouth wide open. Lucky for me, my class didnt have those slimy lizards up the ceiling if not i would have had a nice lunch for free. And the best thing was my instructor was actually teaching my Canadian classmate which is sitting right beside me and he had no idea I had went out of class, went up to Genting and had a coffee for a chat and came back in. Pheww!! Was I lucky...? So after class, I told my classmate about the incident and the shocking part was nobody realizes I did that. Man!! Not even David Copperfield could do that.

Well after all those incidents and “magic” I had performed. I still thank God I had passed all my papers, and I thank all you which had spent the time to pray for me and for all your support. Now I can take up to an average of 16-17 hours of sleep from now on. haha
