Finally the torture of exam is over. I tell you, my exam this time is much worse than the SPM. OK, I am exaggerating. But it really is tough. No, I am not talking about the questions. It is the two weeks span that was given to prepare for my two papers. Now, for those of you who start to think I am talking bullshit, think again. How many days do you usually take to complete the revision stuff? Some might take long, but I am pretty sure none commit themselves for up to more than a week. Of course some might argue that we can always sneak in some other stuff, do some other things in the wee hours in between the revision period, but then again the sense of guilt is always there to push us back to the study desk. That, for me, is the tough part.
Overall both my Mathematics and Physics papers were OK, at least I hope so. I was so excited to get rid of tension caused by this exam that I did not really think of the questions in the middle Physics exam but instead focusing on finishing it quickly so I could pass it up before time. Of course by saying finishing it quickly, I mean filling in empty spaces of questions that I found rather hard with some bullshitting so it makes a bit of sense, if not much.
Now come the next part, post-exam. Well, since my trip to Melbourne will only take place the day after tomorrow, I found it rather wasteful to stay in the vicinity of home for the mean time, not when you have grabbed the freedom to go away sans apprehension over impending exam. So I went to Aijud’s house, and after Asar we boarded bus no. 396 which dropped us just in front of David Jones of Elizabeth Street- Sydney’s shopping heaven on our sight! Ok, of course shopping does not suit us well, at least not until next month when our sponsor hands us in the next allowance, but hey, we still managed to spend the whole evening there. There was this panicky situation to find a suitable place to pray when Maghrib came though, but still it was worth an experience. In the end, amidst those high-rise shopping malls, mid-year sales, branded stuffs and designer’s boutiques etc., we settled purchasing merely a bundle of super cheap Kinder Bueno and Toblerone at Woolworths which in total cost us less than five dollar. Blame the sponsor for our stinginess.
There are still tomorrow and the day after that to kill, and plenty of things to look for before I am off to Melbourne. Atok is in town anyway while Peja is coming tomorrow from Brisbane, so apparently there will be plenty of stuffs to do. But I guess in the mean time let me take some comfort and breathe in this new-found air of freedom.
