Slow and steady wins the race
Dear Allah, I’m eternally grateful to you for crossing my life’s path with these people.
Dear Sufi and Fadilah, you guys are wonderful wonderful people who deserve to love and be loved.
SA or should I say wali-wali Andrews got through the quarters and will be competing in the semis for MIQ. Subhanallah, it was an amazing experience, despite certain glitches here and there. Just being there, made me feel like such a fool, for not knowing the answers to the questions. Alhamdulillah, some I actually knew how to answer 8 richter!, and the feeling of pride just fills up. Wow, the first few rounds were quite nerve-wrecking, and we were still at ground-zero! the first question that we actually got to answer was a question asked by vjc, and i had coincidentally asked the exact same question to sufi the previous night! alhamdulillah. so "SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE" stands once again. =D
The thirst for knowledge is unquenchable, and I have MIQ to thank for that. The desire to be in the finals is evident, but all in all, I’m grateful to be a participant of this competition because of the realization that emerged from within, that knowledge goes so much further beyond textbooks and classroom, which actually makes Singapore’s education system quite irrelevant and somewhat useless for most students, who are absolutely ignorant, naïve, and freaking sheltered from the real world. Something definitely has to be done.
The amount of time that was spent to study for MiQ was well-spent with the team. The above picture was taken at 9.45pm outside National Library, long after we were asked to leave the place. We went there after maghrib to view the AKSARA exhibition, and had to rush through the artefacts since we had less than one hour to really look through it. The place was QUIET, and we were trying in vain to talk loudly so as to not feel scared. HAHA. it was THAT quiet! i'm expecting more 'mugging' sessions in national library for the 3 of us. MAN, i'm falling in love with that big place. omg! i'm turning to be a MUGGER!! -_-""
The migraines and panic attacks are back. The result of years of stupidity is daunting me. It happened during miq, subhanallah, I wanted to cry there and then. I never realized that I actually nearly fell off my chair. These touch-and-go attacks are getting on me. Trust me, its scary when you only realized you fell down the stairs only when your head hit the ground. I cried that first time. Luckily the pizza I was holding on to saved my head from the impact. Unfortunately, the pizza didn’t quite survive, but that didn’t really matter to my brothers who still ate it.
My point is, this is disastrous. Is it psychological or is there something physically wrong with any part of my anatomy? I’m already going for tonsillitis removal operation which costs a bomb, please, let there not be any other illness that befall me. I don’t want to fear crossing the road, taking the stairs down, sitting on a chair, just because these attacks are happening. Ya allah, do help me.
Anyway, on a lighter note, I just got internet access for my laptop, Alhamdulillah. But I think it’ll be a true test of discipline. I’m actually supposed to do my econs essay now, keyword: SUPPOSED. Darn darn darn.
Shall. Need. To. Practice. Control.
i'm getting tired of balancing a relationship with school.
