YO, PIRATE.
i don't make a good disclaimer-typer, so don't expect premade fill-in-the-blanks thingamajigs.
(that has to be the understatement of the century.) Rawflapuffles, just enjoy your day!

Tour of China /8:21 AM

Back from my Beijing-Tianjin-Chengde Trip. Although its the second time, i still enjoyed it somewhat, since many things have changed, especially the much colder weather this time and my cousins were there too.

A couple of ownage stuffs:

Too much. /6:00 AM

haha. Contrary to what i expected, prom was helluva fun. Granted, i was initially quite reluctant about going. But after persuasion from many friends, i went instead. Part of my reluctance stems from what happened the day before Prom. Look guys, if you don't want to go Prom together, instead of showing bad attitude by not answering to any of my messages and calls, why not at least show basic courtesy by telling me you guys have other plans? To be honest i hold many of you with much respect. But after what happened, not so anymore. Best of luck in your future endeavours guys.

On the brighter side, had a great time taking pictures with Shooting mates as well as Korean Trip peeps. Just a pity i didn't head down to SupperClub to enjoy some post-prom fever...

So, this officially marks the end of Junior College life. Satisfied? That's really a hard one for me. I'd say more so in J1, where relationships with classmates was much healthier and I was happier too. Life after J2 midyear sucked, in part due to studies, and unfortunately, classmates who couldn't empathize how much importance i place in studies. I wouldn't say I'm totally faultless too. I admit my shortcomings have annoyed certain people. I've tried to change. Heck I even lowered myself by apologizing in instances when I've done no wrong. If that's not enough, then surely, that's it then. Seriously, if you're a true friend you'd understand that for me studies come first.

Revolution /11:45 PM

Liberated! Yeah, i can say that a kazillion times but strangely, i really don't feel the relief that i expected myself to experience early this year. Perhaps its really true that this initial surge of relief is quickly superseded by a feeling of anti-climax.

Anyway, engulfed by this sudden shroud of boredom and voidness in mundane tasks, i shall try to recount my arduous journey in the past few months leading up to the 'A' Levels examinations. Far as i can tell, I've been working hard the entire year. Heck, maybe the entire 2 years. To be prudent, I'll just consider this year. I've been studying conscientiously for every class tests, quizzes, exams for the first half of the year, albeit with a little entertainment thrown in here and there occasionally. That's still a acceptable form of lifestyle IMO. However, come June and thereafter, pace of studying started to pick up. Entertainment was slowly becoming a obsolete thing in my life.

Then, sometime in August marked the beginning of this insane period that i just went through, Intensive Studying( I don't know how else to name it lol). In preparation for the Prelims, studying was just the almost one thing in my life, clocking up to 8-10 hours daily during the study break. Its real tough, especially during the prelims when i slept an average of just 5 hours per night to mug, and i usually appear languished after a morning paper. Damn, health levels sure plummeted to below god knows what level..

Sure, after the prelims, took a small breather of a couple of days before Intensive Studying resumed during the September holidays. School resumed, yeah but it was tough as hell for me, yeah not the studies part as I've gotten used to it, but relationships with classmates. Loads of misunderstandings kind of wrecked me apart from them. I'm not trying to be extremely competitive, they think i am. I'm not trying to put studies over friends (Although putting it more aptly as prioritising studies is justified), they think i am. You get my drift..

So, my Intensive Studying reached its climax with the start of the 3 weeks long study break. Yeah, i think i had no entertainment except a couple of hours of TV or computer usage in TOTAL. Tough, hell no! Beyond tough.

Finally, the battle began on 10th November. Yeah it was a tough mathematics paper 1. Screw that. Hope i'll still be able to get an A. The first week was arguably the most miserable week in my life thus far. 4 days of exams, 5 hours of sleep daily, panadols, ginseng soup...lol you get what i mean... 2nd week was easier..3 days of exams..with a little respite in between. 4th week was the 2nd kickass week. Although there're only 2 days of exams, there's too insufficient time between it. I recall the night of Monday when i mugged till 2 am before quickly getting to bed, and having to wake up at abt 6.25am (thanks to dad who fetches me). Tuesday morning, day of the physics paper 3, i had to eat 2 panadols and bring a lozenge for sore throat. Down with a severe headache, i almost died (quite literally). Luckily, perhaps it's through god's help that my headache subsided just minutes before the paper started. The last week, last day, 30th November. I remembered going to school feeling anxious once again, probably feeling a lack of preparedness. Although i slacked a bit, i tried my best to prepare for Physics Paper 1. Please, 12 paper 1 should be enough?

Well there's all to this short reminisce. Over the span of this 1 month, it certainly felt like a year of battle to me. It was too long!!! Alas, I'm glad that i managed to pull through relatively unscathed. Indeed, this long journey will probably be one of the most memorable ones in my life, and although the outcome of this battle remains unknown(precariously so), I hope I'd be able to reap the benefits of all my hardwork.

Peace out.

/9:41 AM

Wow, about 6 months since my last post. lol everytime i come here its always begins with me ranting about how lazy i am in the upkeep of my blog.

Its 12.42 am, yeah supposed to hit the sack right now but my body clock has apparently changed so drastically that i can't sleep before 1am daily, due to incessant late night revisions and studies (god what a 'no-lifer' as my friend so aptly puts it. But i just wanna work hard if not i'd regret it)

Talking about life right now, nothing short of minimum entertainment due to pretty heavy workloard (and its gonna get even heavier come term 3). I'll be determined to work even harder then and get as many As as possible and continue to look forward to that ultimate liberation at the end of the year, which is on 30th of November which marks the end of my examinations.

Hope i'll be able to post more, adios.

ScreweD! /10:22 AM

Screw myself. Damn myself. Fuc* myself. lol I'll never ever be able to write things on a blog regularly.

Well, I completed my promotional examinations and despite all the immeasurable time spent and hard work done, I think I still screw it up and my results will surely fall below my expectations. Damn i just wish my pessimism will be untrue.

On the bright side, today is my last paper and I've never felt such an overwhelming upwelling of liberalism before. I reckon this is due to my over-emphasis on getting good grades that resulted in me studying like a insane nerd.

Also, I went to the Padang to watch the F1 practice sessions this evening. It was good overall though i found watching the same thing over and over again boring. (who wouldn't?) Noise level was a tad too high but was still acceptable for my ears. I just wish my ensuing trips to the Padang to watch the F1 races will make me forget, at least temporary, about my studies.

Randomness /9:07 AM

Sigh its getting rather late so I'd try to keep this short. First, there is no way in hell I'd ever keep up with constant posts. Life's such a bitc* that sometimes you barely have time to catch a breather.

Just had a intense 2 week tests marathon before. Now its time for a respite, with no tests. Need some getting used to (ROFL). Anyway, despite trying so hard, i still can't score for physics. I guess i need to use better ways to study for physics. And, i guess my dream for Full Exemption Scheme is screwed because of physics and maybe, Economics. But anyway, i really hope for 2 partial exemption schemes! May God bless me.

That's all for now. I'm just talking to myself rofl! Goodnight.
