The sum of all consequences

   Today's March 1st and yes, it's been some time since I last updated my blog. On way or another, I just can't find the time nor the mood to update it. Moreover, there's just too many things that I needed to clear up first. Obviously, many things have changed and not to mention how fast time flies by. It was like yesterday when I finished my final Chemistry paper on 29th November and now we're 1 day before the results of the Big One.

   After tons of job applications, countless of job interviews and being on the verge of giving up, I've finally found another job thanks to Ashraff. The long search to find a replacement job have take a toll on my family's income and it became worse when the bills started piling up. It was then when I met Ashraff at Causeway Point and together we attempted a last ditch effort to find a job there. And thank God, there were vacancies for ushers at the Cathay Cineplexes on level 7. Unfortunately, only I've got in while Ashraff's application was still pending by the management. So, throughout this past two weeks, I've been trained in handling positions such as Greeter, Runner, Back counters and 3D glasses for a mere $5 per hour. The pay's a bitch if not for the perks that comes with it, such as free popcorns, movies and friends that come along with it. 


   Recently I've went to the NUS Open House thanks to Mr Zee's invitation. That's when I was enlightened about campus life and the courses offered there. Moreover, there was a proper praying area and groups catered to Muslims (Thank God...). The tour guide, who was a second year Geog major student, told us about the criteria needed to just enter the faculty, the road you take after the successful application and the possibilities of work prospects out there. All in all, I had a great time there and the Open House was informative and educational to say the least.

   It has been a long and hard fight for 2 years and it all comes down to this day. Looking back at all the previous posts about the exams and how I'd fare for all of them just makes me even more nervous about its impending results. Its not that I wasn't confident about how much effort I've put in during the Big One, it's more of all the mistakes that I've done that could come back and haunt me tomorrow. I've to admit that I have not been the best son towards my mom and the best servant of Allah after all the mistakes that I've done. But somehow I still believe deep down inside me me that Allah is not cruel and that insyallah Allah would grant success to me. Miracles do and could come from Him he He wants it to happen. Unfortunately, the same questions keep popping inside of my head-Is it already too late to turn back now the damage is done? Will my sins be ever forgiven by Allah or will it come back and bite me in a form of retribution tomorrow? Will I be given a second chance to change what is wrong in me or would I have to pay the ultimate price of defiance? I can only leave it to God to decide my fate tomorrow. All I can and will do now is to pray hard that a miracle would happen tomorrow..
