how do you tell a story?

i'm trying to kill my taxation assignment as soon as possible. however, the online sources decided not to co-operate since this afternoon.

i'm getting killed slowly instead.

exam is approaching. nice right?

thankfully, i don't have two paper on the same day this time around. the gap between the papers are just nice.

____________________________

one lonely night, there was a boy at a train station. as everyone else, he was waiting for the next train to come. he just wanted to get home. tired from his activity that day, he was radiating negative energy that night. couldn't smile, couldn't even keep a straight face. deep in his heart he was wishing for an easier life. everything that he has on his shoulders seems like a very heavy burden at that time.

then, he saw a stranger walking passed him. he keeps on watching this one stranger. a stranger who caught his attention immediately. a blind young man walking with a stick. a stick that guides his movement through the crowd that fills the station. the stranger stop at a spot and stand still. just like the rest, he is waiting for the next train to come too.

a few minutes passed by, and the train many awaits arrived. the boy walked towards the opening door of the train, but his eyes was watching the blind young man. he wanted to help, but something was holding him back. besides, there were many people at the place and he was pretty sure somebody would help him.

but, he was wrong. nobody did help the blind man. everyone just walked passed the him as if he was nonexistent. the boy was astounded. he couldn't believe that nobody among the hundreds of people there did not even care to help. but, one thing for sure, he was one of the hundreds. and he was taking the blame more than the others. he was hesitating about going out and walking the blind young man in, but the beeps indicating the door will be shutting was sounding. the blind young man managed to make it into the train coach in time.

the boy let out a sigh. guilt was still surrounding him. after the bad day, the incident just added more to his disgust towards himself. the feeling of uselessness. he kept on looking at the blind man. and how he have wronged him.

the train was approaching the next stop. the boy got ready to depart the train. in his heart, he was apologizing to the blind young man and hoping and praying to god asking for forgiveness, as well as hoping someone will be nice enough to help the blind young man after he get off the train later off.

much to his surprise, the blind man went out of the train at the same place he did. the first thing that came to the boy's mind was, 'this is my chance to redeem myself today!' but still he was hesitating. but, when he realized that only the two of them came off at that station, he decided to take the action he was supposed to take before that. in a way, he knows, god was helping him to help this soul. he gave his salam to the blind man and told him he will help him up the stairs. the blind man nodded and let out a thankful smile.

after helping him to the ticket counter, the boy asked about his destination. the blind man told him someone will be picking him up. before bidding his farewell to the blind man, he received a gesture that made his day.

"thank you so much brother"

and he went home that night with a heart full of joy.

the finale

i'm trying to stuff tissues into my nose right now. seriously, the last thing you need a couple of days before exam is bad health condition. currently experiencing runny nose and allergies. you just can't concentrate. i always boast on my strong immune system but it's not doing me any good since yesterday. just took my medicine and pretty sure i'll be out in half an hour. damn the side effect.

yesterday, fathin and i walked to cyberia to buy dinner. lesson learned. bad foods with sky high price. damn the restaurant owner.

done for today. i will probably blog a lot during exams to channel my negative thoughts. read, probably.

aftermath economy PAPER

this semester studying strategy was something like this...

finally, my finals are over!! i can't be any more glad than ever. the final paper today was macroeconomics, and the paper is not over yet the moment i'm writing down this. a 3 hours paper, i decided to left the exam hall an hour early, at 11am, as i could no longer stand staring at my answer sheet (ok fellas, i answered everything, not staring at the blank answer sheet yeah)

and in addition to that, i think i got pretty fed-up waiting for this whole thing to be over. personally, this is a very tiring semester of the year, the subjects are tough, the assignment drives you up the wall, the endless theory and equation to be memorized, and to add, the endless extra co-curricular activities...definitely definitely torn into pieces...but it was fun all along..

this final paper today also indicate my last day as a first year student in MMU. a year is over, and another 3 years to go before i can throw myself into the working world. yesterday i received an sms from nudge, who told me that she is scared of what awaits for her during her practical, which is in another year, of course. and ironically, i could not wait for my practical, well for theory-haters like me, that comes quite naturally.

i just told her, its another step you have to take in life, and rest assured, almost everyone go through it. note, almost. 

next semester will be more challenging, physically, mentally and on my pocket too, i think. the schedule had been arranged by nurul, and it turns out that the class on monday is from 9-7pm, non stop....zzzzzzzzz

chou for now, i'll update more soon.
