Exceeding Joy Is Mine!

What has OTIA done to us?

It got us all fidgety before the paper. Unexpected things do happen in the exam hall. Like today, another very typical Bethia moment happened again. I reached the venue unusually early so I decided to check out the sitting plan.  Being nice, I helped my beloved Ziwan checked hers as well. You see, my puny brain can’t seem to remember 2 sets of 3 digits very well. So I remembered Ziwan’s seating number perfectly well and got mine mixed up. Instead of sitting at #548, I sat at #538!

The funniest thing that happened was that the rightful seat owner was unsure of herself when she was wondering why her seat was taken. So as usual, being typically ya-ya, I answered very confidently that I was at the right place. She has to run out to check her seating number again. By now, you may have guessed the outcome. OMG!! You should have checked out the facial expression man. Actually to Ziwan, it was brilliant. I wished I never have to re-enact that again! That was seriously a bad start to my most dreaded paper!

But did anyone ever tell you that prayers do wonders? After a quick prayer, I was brought back to my initial state of mind. As for the paper itself, it wasn’t all that fantastic. Like how fabulous can it be when it is OTIA??? One thing to give thanks for, it was His amazing grace that carried me through. From the revision to the penning of the answers, every step was taken with much pain and difficulty. The tremendous torment that all of us went through to prepare for this incorrigible paper is unimaginable. Anyone who sat for the paper will agree with me, right folks?

So one can imagine that unspeakable joy when the paper was finally over. Never ever, no more OTIA ever again! Ultimate Yayness! The way outta Expo was so filled with laughter! Taking train with Danny, Kun Quan and Ziwan was even more fun! We cracked jokes all the way from Expo to Bugis and beyond! No more OTIA really gives me a new definition for freedom and liberation! *A huge sigh of relief*

To celebrate this joyous occasion, Ziwan and I went dating! YAY!

My first happy meal after the paper! Gosh was so filling can!

Her meatballs are darned delicious!

I wouldn’t trade this for anything else! Her million dollar look!

My unglam shot

After looking at the word “bras”, she was inspired! There she goes, tissue paper bra for ya!

Outside Ode to Art. I wanna do the Mao Ze Dong post. Trying to keep to a lookout to see if people are actually noticing what we are doing.

All cleared!

LOL! seriously i don’t know what got into me! So I concluded, it must be the new found liberty!

The anguish look. Eh how come he looks like he is also taking OTIA??!!!

I believe he takes OTIA as well!

Red man everywhere!

Ain’t this cute?

That’s team work!

What a blissful night. Kudos to Ziwan who make it so fun. Without this lovely babe around, there will be no laughter. Awwww… Let’s mug for ESAP together okay?

Praise the Lord, He is good, all the time! Bliss after bliss after bliss. As my night starts to turn gray, Mama Fam past me some mighty macarons!  They are next to chocolates! Awesome! Thank you so much, Ade!

After having such a huge meal, Ziwan and I conquered a yummilicious dessert. If that is not all, my mom bought me sushi which I felt so obliged to finish them. Just thought the night will be incomplete without chocolates. So I had some Royce chocolates. Hahahaha that summarise to the word “FAT!” With that, I will force myself to swim tomorrow!

All things are great because He is in this jouney with me. Praise and glory be to Him, now and forever!
