clock is ticking...

...towards exam time, again. Just struck me that my first exam is in 11 days, hooray :( study block starts on wednesday, but i'm already starting to feel restless from revision. wonder why it always happens although i'm not that prepared for exams yet. haven't even touched anything on the second paper, 2nd hooray lol. questioning myself why i'm doing this set of crazy exams again, i wish i was more ambitious and motivated to get through this whole thing!

that aside, something quite tragic happened last weekend. housemate's dad was admitted into icu last saturday when doc found a blood clot in his brain :S and although he recovered from cancer few years back, the cancerous cells are starting to spread again. coupled with his current sickness the situation doesn't look good at all. she wept so many times over the weekend, and spent day and night just worrying about her dad. finally she couldn't stand all this torture (and also cos her bro said the illness might be terminal, sigh), so flew back on monday. got a text from her two days back, her father's condition fluctuates everyday, but doc has verified that there is improvement. and she's still uncertain whether she can make it back here to take the exam she has prepared so hard for half a year. just pray that uncle gets well soon...

this is the one thing that i fear most living away from home. the call during midnight to break a piece of bad news, or the call to tell me someone has fallen gravely ill *touchwood* ... aaahh, shouldn't think so much i guess, but i certainly find death getting more and more scary as i grow up. just hope everyone takes good care at all times...

back to study, how exciting...
