Day 61: You mean P2 starts next week?

Done with P1 exams! Woo hoo!

Glad that I won't be hunched over an exam paper for 3 hours at a stretch for at least another 7 weeks. O_O

As soon as our last paper (UDJ - Stats) was over, my class began to flood the bar on campus, pretty much drinking the beer tap dry. I was particularly pleased that the conversations hardly ever concentrated on the recent exams but rather on the various exciting holiday plans that people had over the short 4 day break before next week. Always good that people are looking forward rather than looking back. ;)

In increasing order of distance, these are some of the various locations I've heard that my classmates are holidaying at:

• Singapore (of course some people are staying in town, like me!)
• Penang (family)
• Sailing around Phuket
• Diving off some remote Thai islands (near Phuket)
• Bali
• Hanoi
• Borocay (by far the most popular with about 1/4 of the class going)
• Manila (family)
• Maldives
• Shanghai
• Beijing
• Tokyo
• Los Angeles! (meeting girlfriend from Peru "halfway")

Personally, I would have been keen to join one of their trips if it wasn't my birthday today. I haven't had the luxury of celebrating my birthday in SGP over the past decade and figured perhaps it might be nice to get family and friends together for an evening. For one night only, my place will turn into a "pop-up" prata stall complete with authentic prata guy flipping pratas on the spot. =)

Here's to a great start in P1 and hopefully more exciting times ahead for the rest of the year!
