the papers were an utter disappointment this semester,
either the standard rose or i hadn't the motivation to understand thoroughly and apply.
but whatever the case, they're over, and i'm enjoying my holidays now!
although not fully,
because a few of them are still unable to join me in my celebration.

i had a long list of things to want to do after the exams,
some of the most absurb ones like playing a game on fb,
or going to the science centre.
hilarious as it sounds, but during the study period,
you would want so badly to do something else (even wash the toilets) besides staring at the books.

my parents aren't exactly doctors and lawyers,
to an extent i am grateful for.
they never liked studying,
or at least when exams are concerned.

my mom was watching a program on TV one day,
and i was beside her, trying very much to memorize definitions.
then i curiously asked her if she would like to study again,
and a flat NO was what i got in return.

so much for motivating me.

well, if they were a graduate (in their generation),
i'd probably be born with a 'gold' spoon.
today it's different (and it's only a generation apart)
i'd be a graduate hopefully in half a year's time,
with zillions of others.
to snatch parts of the bread, to bring home to my parents.
now, that's not even inclusive of the story of getting married with one kid plus a flat.
and i wonder how bad will my next few generations get.

sometimes life's so unfair,
nowonder people commit suicide (or attempt) without analysing much on consequences,
because the consequence probably wouldn't be as costly as you know what.

we are working harder and harder each year,
and for?
a piece of the loaf of bread.

but still, in the process,
yes, we should be happy, as a right to a human's life.
or at least seek for it.
that's how life should be -
like making orange juice.

you filter the rough fibre,
and enjoy the smooth drink.
