Never Travel Long Distances in Economy Class

HEY! I don't hate 2010 so much anymore!

Yea.. after pretty much a lousy first four months, where almost nothing is going right, something good happened!

(I knew if i hit rock bottom, there's no where else to go but up..problem is I'm not at rock bottom yet.. so based on Spongebob's map, I'm in Bikini Bottom..)

Just a re-cap of why 2010 has been terrible for me:

1. I started the year without any New Year celebration..of any sort...
2. endured a mentally and physically disorientating 5 hour flight in economy class on the 2nd day of the year (note to self: don't take economy class for long distance flights)
3. my results for 5th sem (aka Y2S2) were WAY below my expectations...
4. in March, my mood was all over the place.. like I had a month long PMS...
5. American Idol sucks
6. I'll be leaving Penang
7. etc

(*ps: the absolute worst one is no.5)

but now, i can finally add something to the "positive" side of my somewhat unbalanced list.

I finally got what I set out to do when my diplomas began.. I scored a 4-flat...

When i saw my results, the feeling was amazing! Undeniable elation as my mind slowly wraps around the fact that I have achieved what I set out to do 2 years ago.. Indescribable was the feeling of pride.. honour.. happiness.. satisfaction.. accomplishment..

then about 5 minutes later, it's all gone. My mind went from "OMG WOW!" to "so what?" immediately... as everything settles in, there's a feeling of "errm... so what now? nothing's gonna happen, why am I so happy?"

What is the point of achieving something if your brain does not know how to appreciate it?

Also, in management subjects, I've always learnt that to motivate someone, something must be given as a 'reward' in order to drive that person to achieve the desired results..

In this case.. so I've achieved 4 flat.. now what?

Mr Amos will congratulate me in front of a press conference?

The Prime Minister wants to have a forum with me.. live telecast?

I'll have my own parade down Merdeka Square?

Nobel Prize?

You know what? I'm nit-picking.. so I don't get a million-dollar reward.. who cares?

The satisfaction of FINALLY getting a 4-flat is amazing...

IN YO FACE HATERS!! I GOT 4-FLAT!!!
