Operating Systems interests yet scares.
Even with more than 2 weeks of time, I'm not prepared.
My mind wanders off to post exams whenever I try to revise.
I think of what to do on the day I stop writing and the examiner collects my script.
I think of what to do on the next day, the day after the next day and so on.
I want to sing.
I want to eat roti prata.
I want to catch up with friends.
Enjoy the simple pleasures.
But now, my life's in a mess with a bunch of random thoughts.
Seriously I need to get organized.

When I attended the Final Year Project presentation of one student a week ago, I remembered those Chinese inter-university debates on TV. Q&A happened on-the-fly and it was intense. One year from now, I would be doing the same. But I'm unsure of myself. Even for day-to-day decisions, I'm not confident, let alone presenting to a group.

It's been more than a month.
The excuse for not writing regularly: I was recently told that my blog topics revolve around school work.
In short, s/he meant that I'm boring.
So, this post will likely be boring again.

About 2-3 weeks ago, I participated in Starhub IT Case competition. we had a hard time analyzing the case and proposing good strategies within 48 hours. But to a first-timer, I feel it's quite a challenge and a good experience. I've always been passive & seldom take part in competitions as such.

My local student exchange program is ending as well. After working with the students at the partner university, I have gained new perspectives. Generally, they present well (at least much better than I do). However, the greatest takeaway comes from reading the supply chain management module. The professor has inspired me to think critically and write clearly. To top it all, I've made few but like-minded friends.

as you are reading, my exams are coming and i am trying. motivation is in short supply and these are truly trying times for me.
