Post-Exam.

"Stop writing."

In most exams, once you hear that phrase, you would be wishing for more time so that you could finish your last sentence. Yesterday, that phrase was like a ringing bell, reminding me of the fact that I am no longer a student. Sure, I might do Masters in the future, but for now, I am actually out of the formal education system. No more assignments to write, no more lectures to go. Just me.

So, as the popular question goes, "How was it?"

The exam was OK I guess. I want to say that I am happy with the effort that I've put in, but I know that if only I have more than three hours to do each paper, I'd be able to write better answers. But hey, I only had three hours, so, let us just say I'm happy with the effort that I had given during the allocated three hours. Hmm...actually happy would be too strong, the actual word that I'd choose instead is, content.

But then again, I cannot speculate on the sort of marks that I would get because, at the end of the day, it is not you who are going to decide what mark will I get. I just hope and pray to Allah that everything will go the way I hope it is going to be. Amen to that :)

The second most popular question is, "How's freedom?"

I wish I could say, FANTASTIC. But, as you might know, I am now being hit by a post-exam syndrome. Where, you actually have a lot of things to do in your mind, but you just don't know which one that you want to do first. And you'll end up sleeping for the whole day. Haha. But actually, I have not slept since yesterday. Well, I did sleep at three in the morning last night.

Last night, I had nice dinner with some of my close friends, whom I might not even see again until October for our graduation. One of my friends is going to Dubai to help with his family business. Another one will take a gap year and travel the world. Another friend of mine will continue with a law conversion course since he wants to become a lawyer. As I listened to their post-study plan, I realized that this is the time, where you get to end your life as an undergraduate and start to chart the way that you'll live your life. To be honest, I still cannot believe that this day has finally come. I don't know whether I am happy or anxious. I guess, time will tell :)

And tonight, I'll be having dinner with some of my friends from the second year. They're having their last paper today - now actually. I guess, I'll continue next time. Bye.

More on Angkara Cinta

Yes, I think I am becoming obsessed with this Malay Drama show. I always look forward to watching the show every day. The irony of Angkara Cinta is despite the title of the show, it is not a love story at all. At least not to me. Sure, the are several love stories in the show such as Luqman and Adira, Haqeem and Adira, Haqeem and Jijie, and Luqman and Adira again, but these love stories are just in the background and do not form the major part of the storyline. The reason I say this is because if you take away these love stories, Angkara Cinta would still stand on its own. We would still be able to see the struggle of Luqman and Haqeem, as well as, Indah and Mariani in dealing with the situations that they are in. And to me, that's what makes Angkara Cinta great and stand out relative to other Malay Drama on the television nowadays. The show also highlighted several mental health issues that are not talked about in Malaysia generally, and the Malay community specially. Malays, for

Rise and Fall of a Government

Many detractors of Tun Dr Mahathir blamed him for causing the fall of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government in February 2020. They blamed him for quitting his position for no apparent reasons whatsoever. To be honest, none of us (save for a select few) really know what had happened behind the curtains and behind Tun's thick skull. As long as we are not Tun himself or those select few, we are all merely speculating at best. To me, I just want to focus on what Tun had said publicly because those are on record and no one can really dispute them. Tun had repeatedly said that he had resigned because he no longer had the support of the parliament as Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu). Two things here, mathematically, what Tun said about the his support from the parliament is true. Secondly, this was what Tun had said, what really went behind the scene was really up to anyone's guess. For one moment, let us just take Tun's words at their face value. The moment Tun felt that he

2011 That is Almost Over

In just one more day, 2011 will draw its final curtain. And looking back over the last twelve months made me realized how far have I come this year. 2011 has always been a very personal year to me, especially since I have started to plan for my engagement ceremony since July 2010 (Yes, that's how long I've been planning my wedding). I guess the highlight of the year began with significant change in my work. It was in March 2011 where I was finally given the opportunity to cover the Airline sector after lobbying for it since I joined the department in February 2009. I'm not saying the Consumer sector was not fun, but the Airline sector has always been a dear to me since I joined the company. But I guess, the Airline sector proved to be a lot tougher to cover than I expected. I had anticipated cyclical earnings and high risk from jet fuel price volatility but, MAS gave a whole different challenge to my skills as an analyst. The next highlight for the year was my engagement ce
