Clovers & Roses

Basically my hair has this two toned look. About a quarter or more of my hair is dark brown starting from the top and the remainder a mahagony brown. I actually kind of like how it looks now. Makes it look like I have what they call the 'Ombre' hair colour which I think is a really cool look although many think it gives off the impression of not bothering to touch up my roots. Oh well :)

I am super excited about this. I officially have a new roommate this year. Yes many will be having question marks over what happened with my previous roommate. Those who already know I do not need to elaborate. For those who are completely clueless, sorry to say I am not going to dish in this post or any other post for that matter. I may and may not spill the beans if you meet me and we catch up and talk about stuff. But it is highly unlikely that I will spill the beans. I think it might make things a whole lot more complicated if I did.

Moving on from all that and back to the actual topic. My new roommate is a year younger than me and she is [I think] really smart :) She is doing A-Levels too but January 2012 intake. Makes me feel so senior LOL Her name is coincidentally Christine Lim. So that makes her the second Christine Lim that I know. It was pretty awkward when we first met but we are good now. She never fails to make me laugh. We are always laughing in our tiny little room from morning until bedtime. I am actually pretty sad thinking about the possibility of her leaving if she gets JPA and the fact that I am currently in my last semester so I am moving out from my hostel by the end of June or July.

I couldn't think of a #3 so I will continue blogging just like normal :)

Now time for more serious matters. And by serious I mean real serious. What am I talking about??

Yes. It is that 5 letter word that is always a serious word. You never take an exam as a joke do you. Exception if it's an April Fool's day joke obviously.

Anyway, my January exams just finished and many know that instead of going house visiting and collecting red packets, I was poking my nose into the pages of my books and feverishly scribbling answers on my question booklet. My Chinese New Year for this year of the dragon is pretty much pathetic but for the sake of my future, sacrificing one Chinese New Year is nothing. (Who am I kidding. I have been saying how sad my life is for having exams during Chinese New Year :P)

I won't say that my exam went well but it wasn't horrible either. I won't say that I will definitely get all A's for this round of exams. I am not that confident in my answers. I am pretty sure that I will be getting a few papers which are less than an A. I actually calculated my marks for some of the papers. I know it is a pretty weird thing to do. Many will probably ask me to stop thinking so negatively but from what I have learned from the many exams I have taken, I should not aim for the sky if I am not sure I am capable of it. I know we are taught to aim for the stars but I have stopped doing that. For my exam grades at least. I find it quite useless to aim for an A if you already know it isn't possible. Of course I don't mean that you should stop aiming for a good grade. What I mean is aim realistically. If you aim too high or expect too much, you need to be prepared if you do not get what you aimed for. The disappointment that comes with not achieving what you aimed for can be quite a hard blow to your self confidence.

So my way is: Do the best you can. Aim realistically and whatever comes comes. After doing all that you can, all that is left is beyond your control :)

Results are due in early March. That leaves me about a month or so to freak out a little over my results :S I hope for the best and I am keeping my fingers crossed. Please be good and not bad. Not stellar excellent but just good. I don't expect for much :)
