officially my exams are over. officially this is the end of the semester for me. officially in an hour's time, it will be the end of fall. officially, today is my last day in room 1038 with my room mates. officially, 1/6 of my time is over.

and officially, i'll be home in 2 days!!!! :)

i stepped out of the exam building at 10.58am (yea i checked the time haha). and it struck me... i'm coming home. anyone heard 'home' by michael buble? yea, i think a lot of sentiments are reflected in there =) i'm coming home. kinda wanted to cry tears of joy, relief and i think a general lifting of stress. haha.

singapore tropical warm island here i come. i've been positively mean by going around telling the singaporeans to think of me come fri, 11.30am in madison haha. =) cos i'll be home. esp for those who are spending christmas in the air bwahahahaha. okay. i'm mean =)

4 mths of repressing all feelings abt missing home, a kind of mental block that allows me to forget if i miss home... but now that i'm going home, finally... the feelings kinda flood in. and it's nice knowing that yes, home is there for me, always, waiting.

kinda like the feeling we'll get when we reach out eternal home isn't it? we'll be back, where we finally belong =)

the exams definitely went a lot better than expected, especially today's. since i went in with probably half the knowledge in my textbook, all of which i think flew out of my head in the brisk cold walk from here to the exam hall. but it wasn't too bad. Thank God. just hope i can get better than a B =)

and it's amazing the smallest requests that God hears and answers, and reassures the trembling, insecure child... a small request that before my exam, something would happen that would make me laugh. i prayed that before i entered the building, just cos... i needed the reassurance that God was listening... (you know, if He answers the small prayer, you kinda feel that yea He's gonna answer the bigger ones =) and yea, sth did happen to make me chuckle out loud. JUZ before the exam started. :)

winter's starting! :) first day of winter. and i'll be home. yesh. haha

yea if u can't tell, i'm juz overwhelmingly excited. even though it's gonna be a long ardous flight home haha. and i promise i won't complain about how hot it is in singapore for 3 days. =)

you know, 10 years down the road, i'll have all these "forgotten memories" surfacing, about how traumatised i was over all the various exams that i had to go thru :) seriously, i block all of it the minute i step out of the room haha it's amazing really. i can't remember much of the questions that i juz did. erpz haha.

and to end off, i'll leave you with the chorus of the song that brought me through the last 2 days...

"voice of truth" by casting crowns
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth
