It's been a week since I knew I got an exemption in my PP3 and I'm really glad it ended up this way. However, now, after my final exam paper or rather, a video, I'm faced with total boredom. Lost, not knowing what to do... Daily I'll set out to look for vacancies and almost always I'll end up with, "Oh, well currently we are filled, but here's an application form, fill it up and we'll see what we can do" or, "We ran out of application forms. Do you have a CV with you?". And thus, I ended up submitting lots of CVs. It even felt like I'm advertising myself. -_-" Damn....
That's my daytime... Well as for the night time, I spent most of it either upstairs with friends or in my room in front of my lap top. I think I can start to communicate with my lap top already. Well, I do still have to cook and ummm.... worry about me getting a job. Otherwise it's the non-beneficial online games... Making my life even more boring, I've finally caught up with the animes I watched... Now I have to wait a week to get and episode... How MORE BORING CAN LIFE GET!!!
That's the problem... when there are studies to be done, I'll complaint about stress but hey, at least I've got something to put my mind into... Now, I've got nothing to do. I can't really stand this... The two feelings I hate the most, occuring at the same time... bored and lonely... Damn!

I GOT EXEMPTED!!!!
The greatest, most unexpectable thing happened today!!! This morning, I woke with a heavy heart as it was the day we got the feedback on our exemption exam. The tension in the air was great. Everyone in the house getting ready to go to the dispensary where we were supposed to get our results, did not really smiled. Got my breakfast done quickly and went on my way to the dispensary.
As we were waiting to go into the dispensary I got the usual anxiety attack I get before I go into an exam or getting my result... As they asked us to go into the room, I couldn't help to notice that my heart was really pounding hard. Sat myself down at the usual place. And then...... John began to call out names, those he said to go into the discussion room. I was one of them. My first thought was that 'OOHHH NO.... I'm going to get my results first...' I thought we were called into the room because our results were to be given out individually. This is the truth, in case 'someone' who is reading this thinks that I'm bragging. *sweat*
Then, the last name was called... and the last person came into the room and sat around the table where the rest are. John closed the door and with his #$%^@#$ serious face, asked told us we all looked so tensed. Well, I was already cursing inside *thought* 'WTF do you think? Of course we looked tensed, we are getting our results which determine if we are going to spend the next few weeks stressing ourselves out on this subject!!!' Well you see, PP3 is not a subject you can read and then go sit for the exam and pass it. It's the only subject you can pass by practicing. Then, with his ever serious face, he said 'Well, you are all exempted'. The funny thing was, everyones first expression was like 'Huuhh??? What did he said?' It was only when he said it the second time when the smiles came back on everyone's face. Everyone in that room of course.
We were let off early. I was, well, extremely relieved. I've got an exemption!! An exemption on the paper which I first got a -25 and a 40 for the class test.... Well I guess those mistakes I made paid off then...

Unforgetable...
This year, I had another unforgetable birthday celebration. A few newly met friends, the two from Hong Kong; Congo and Steven; and the one from Malaysia; Edward. Even though, I've only knew them for a short period of time, they threw a birthday party for my *sniff* so 'kam tung'.
Last night, we went to Edward's place as there was supposed to be a small gathering so check our photos taken during the Highland trip. It ended up as a dinner where Congo, Steven and Edward cooked a bunch of magnificent food for us. There were dishes Congo made which was famous in Hong Kong. Anyhow, everthing they made were wonderful.
All I thought was just a small gathering, but they surprised me when they ended it as a birthday party. I was left speechless... totally... To cut a long story short... I ended up with the broadest smile on my face that night. Something that I may not forget... even though Steven have to go back to Hong Kong on the 20th. Will really miss this guy.

Highland Trip
The past weekend, which was the last Saturday, I went on a highland trip with Sheryin's gang, Njo, Chien Hoon and three of their friends; Congo, Steven and Edward. We rented two cars each driven by Congo and Edward up to the Isle of Skye, located northwards from Glasgow where we spent the night. I was told that the trip straight to the Isle of Skye from Glasgow would take about 4 to 5 hours.
The trip started at 10.30 on a beautiful Saturday morning. Well, that morning, I was told to get ready by 9, so I woke at 7am. Quite tired, since I had a hard time sleeping the night before, but, excited though I was kept me awake. Then, on our way up to the Isle of Skye, we stopped at some interesting places chosen by Congo and Edward, who organised this trip. The first stop was Loch Lomond. This was a quick stop just to take some photographs. We also stopped by a few towns such as Oban and Fort William, on our way up. Well I can't really remember all the places we stopped as there were also short toilet stops :-) Well we finally reached our lodging at 12 midnight. Then, the guys cooked supper. After we had our fill, we chatted, played some games and then finally took our shower and slept at 4am. Haha... we had to wake at 6.30am the next morning.
Surprisingly, everyone was quite active the next morning. Really pity the drivers who had to drive us around and back to Glasgow. Anyway, on Sunday, we went around the Isle of Skye and climbed a rocky mountain, which I had forgotten the name. We climbed quite high actually and the girls weren't as enthused as the guys though. It was really windy up there and the winds are strong and cold. Going up was easier and going down was really a problem. The guys had to guide the girls down one by one and it took quite some time. Well, after all that, we tracked our way out and went on to other places. We visited a waterfall and some castles by the sea side. The view were beautiful. Then we started our journey home after dinner at about 11.00pm. By now, the drivers were really tired and sleepy. We had to rush home as we have classes the next day and the rest had to go to work. Anyway, we reached Glasgow safely at 2.00am.
I don't know about the others but I went straight to bed after washing up. Was dead tired. During the whole trip back, I had to force myself to stay awake and to make sure the driver stayed awake. Well, I would say on a whole the trip was really fantastic and the people we went with are really great fun. However, in my opinion, the duration of the trip should be set longer so we don't have to rush and have more time to enjoy the scenes and everyone wouldn't be so tired...
