self contentment=self acceptance

The last exam for term 1 wrapped up on Saturday. It was yet another headshot..this one was somehow more fatal than ofrm. Flipping through the paper stunned me and I just stared at it blankly for almost 5 minuntes.

Regaining my sanity I attempted to do whatever I could. My answers came in drips and drabs. That was an ominous sign of a possible failure. I hate to admit I will probably face that outcome; retaking this module again is hellish.

After 3 hours of torment, I left the exam room feeling jaded. I dialed out to dearie and in his words, found comfort. At least I have tried my best. I did put in my best to go through the tutorials 3 times. the exam took us by surprise that nothing related to the tutorials appeared. My heart ached even more when I realized if I failed by a huge rift, I will have to pay the $2.5k again to go through the intensives all over! have I not tried hard enough? Or am I just too slow to grasp the concepts?

On a positive note, I am more pleased with my progress for this new term. We did a mini test yesterday for equity and I managed to get 12 out of 15 correct. I love the calculation and logic bit of this module. Fsa isn’t that bad either because I look at financial statements almost everyday..so it’s just a more in-depth study of what these statements entail. Should things go well, I hope to pass these papers with lesser problems.

Dearie is in the process of building a car for ME! haha..that’s what I am assuming since it’s an exact replica of the car he owns. Will post up the photos when I get to test drive it. haha..

After the class (and exam) on Saturday, dearie took me out shopping. i felt like a mouldy slice of bread which has been hibernating indoors for the past 1 month or so. It was good to be out in the crowd, trotting in the shopping mall. Dearie bought additional paint for MY car.. carrying 2 bottles of grey paint, he was much like a kid skipping out in joy from kiddy palace. Big kid.

The new extended jurong point is huge and there are many fanciful shops..selling pretty little things. funny thing was.. I felt nothing actually drew me to walk into the shops.. I just walked past them.. appreciating the nice window displays.. colorful apparels.. shiny shoes.. bling bling jewellery.. In me I was contented with all I had. There was nothing I wanted to get.. because whatever I needed, I have them.

It’s a bliss being a contented person. Sometimes I struggle to stay that way because human nature drives us to achieve and possess more. Life can be a lot simpler..if we learnt to live with what we have..within our means.. and taking joy that we do not need to be like the others around us to gain acceptance. Self contentment..is a form of self acceptance =)
