6 day marathon.

Eversince last Sunday, I did the most unimaginable thing ever, to complete a marathon of completing my assignments.  I start on Sunday, and eversince, I never saw the sun. Believe it or not, my life is revolved around the 4 corners of my study room and the computer. In fact i almost went crazy staying the whole day at home. Its unbelievable. Being in the marathon required me to have high endurance and willpower.

I have to admit that I work very slow as compared to the average when it comes to academic stuff. Along the journey of the marathon I see many things. I day dreamed of many things. This is my "renaissance" period. When Im under pressure, Im always at my most creative peak. I did lots of research on the net regarding many things not concerning my studies. It is during this time I created my own ideas and philosophies about things which are really important to me. That is the best part about pressure. I also got to know some people better through phone calls during this week. I guess I tend to relieve pressure by distracting away. HAHAHA…

On Thursday itself, the pressure level finally came to its optimum level.  I only left 500 words to finish all my assignments. Yet, i lost my momentum. I was mentally exhausted. Therefore, I ajak 2 of my friend( Irwin and Kuan Yang ) that day for "lepak" session over a cup of tea. That’s my way of "Buang Steam". Finally i reached home at 10pm. I took my bath. After that I continued to finish my assignments. Somehow I got my momentum and focus after lepak-ing and seeing the sun after 4 days. From 11pm I worked my way through till 7am in the morning( I was checking… and redoing some of the assignment to get the best out of it). And finally, at 11.45pm I passed up my assignments today. Its all history now.

Keke.. slept for 2 hours only. Yet i was still compelled to lepak again. Went to Penang after passing up. Met up with 2 of my buddies( Marcus and Kuan Yang ) for lunch at Jalan Raja Gopal. The char Koay Teow there is wicked. I asked for extra eggs. I also ordered Wan Tan Mee with extra wan tan.(Ive been eating home cooking for 5days… need a break). After that before i end up here blogging I went to visit Steven Tay at his place. Had a nice time of chat. Life in Penang is good. You work, you berkhayal, you lepak and you MAKAN !!!! All in one package. Thats life so far. keke.
