Good morning MALAYSIA!!! oh wait, thats afternoon already... ah well... I'll save that greeting for another day then =) My Quantitative paper is at 3 and after slogging the night away, I finally half an ounce more of confidence. Now at that two the other half ounce from yesterday and my swaggering confidence is not at an once and a half. Yup, a little bit closer to the gazillion ounces more that I need... Baby steps =) The morning seems beautiful, what with the bright sun shine and the chirping birds... The only dark cloud in my day seems to be this dreadful paper. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that this so-called beautiful day somehow remains just as beautiful throughout. I really don't need some creepy monster reaching out with its knobbly-gangrene infested fingers wheedling "I'm coming for u dee! RUN! But u can't hiiiiddeeee...." Yup, that monster is called fate. Putting things mildly, im not someone with a whole lot of good luck. Be it with the car (towing, accidents, car keys) my handphone (getting lost IN my bag~ this only happens to me, so you can ease up, dropping inside the car~ and I mean literally like inside the freaking dashboard where the mesh of wires and my fictional rats reside and of course the most common of all, EVERYTHING! From losing my bag, to being mugged and eventually losing my mind.... I think Lady Luck died when I was three.
But today, luck seems to be beside the point. Though my confidence hasn't peaked (will it ever??) I find that the little bit of surety that my hardwork has warranted has allowed me the glimpse of hope. Its only a glimpse or a slight glimmer of it, but it has nonetheless given a will to push my limits. Its somehow a motivation. A driving factor. Call me nuts and please get me help, but I can't help but actually LIKE IT-studying I mean. To be frank, I've been a bit of a dimwit (Okay!! I can hear the snickering- a bit is an understatement! I've been a MAJOR dimwit! Happy now?!) I never actually gave hardwork a chance, always writing it off as being too tedious, pretentious to a large extent cause people only opt for the harder way cause the easier one hasn't helped. In my case, I have been fortunate more than once as I managed to wriggle out to the road most often taken, the short-cut..
But hardwork and actual burning of the midnight oil, though in most instances, give us the most vexatious headaches, it actually gives us something else. Something more subtle than those grinding migraines but more valuable. It gives us hope and spirit. It gives us a chance to believe in ourselves. In our abilities. It shows us that with a little bit of perseverance tinged with patience and laced off with determination, we have the cocktail of success!! Cool ain't it?
Well, I really ought to leave soon as knowing my luck, parking is going to be a nightmare! Thank god I still have my traffic light charm (wink wink* and yes my dears! IT STILL WORKS! Gratifying isn't it :P ) I do have a rather pressing issue that I want to get of my mind and I think blogging it would be absolutely perfect so I guess I'll keep it sealed till tonight!
Loving, living and smiling (for today that is :P )
P.S. who knew research methods could teach us so much about values and virtues?? Albert would be proud!! :P
Love, love and MORE LOVE
