Here’s why…
1) For the first time, I took a BREAK! A complete break – no agenda, no schedule, no nothing. Work did get done but it was because it fitted right in.. else it was thrown right out..
2) For the first time, I have no mid-sem exams coming up in the next few weeks..
3) Went to Bintan and hence, visited a new country.. That’s 14 now..
4) I decided to indulge myself and played and finished Roadrash – yes, that’s all five levels and had gotten myself a Diablo and zoomed through the last 3 levels. It took me only about 7 hours.. 7 hours well spent..
5) I played football, swam – so all in all, I wasn’t just a couch potato. Watched 2 movies as well and yes, I didn’t like ‘My name is Khan’..
6) Watched Man Utd give AC Milan a whooping..
7) Most importantly.. just had fun.. was a complete break. There’s a lot to look forward to – Sparkz, finishing up FYP, finishing up module.. and the not-so-nice thought of 8 labs for my design module.. but hey, it’s my last semester at university.. and that’s awesome as well!
When it comes to good things, we tend to only celebrate firsts and not celebrate lasts.. I disagree. It’s been a wonderful 4 years.. and all good things come to an end..
I’m sure going to make it a happy one! :)

Just remembering my past mid-sem breaks –
1) 1st Semester – Mom came down to Singapore!! Boy, wasnt’ that fun! Also, played my first and only Kreeda – a sports event organized by the now – defunct ‘Society of Indian Scholars’. Our team was called ‘Bahaya Jangan Dekat’ (Malay – Danger! Keep out!)
2) 2nd Semester – The work fever had gripped me. Most of this break was spent in the office..
3) 3rd Semester – As above.. (but I had a Langkawi trip to look forward to in about 2 weeks..)
4) 4th Semester – As above..
5) 5th Semester – As above..
6) 6th Semester – IA – so, as above..
7) 7th Semester – The 10/10 adventure trip to Cameron Highlands!!
and now..
Wow, It’s been a long ride..
