hello.
i will not be updating this space until further notice.
one of my relatives has passed away earlier this morning.
i won't delve into the details.
i will be busy for the next one week as i have a major role in his funeral proceedings.
so yea.
rest assured i will be back with something more positive in a week's time.

happy and relieved.
cuz term 2 is finally over.
but this june hols will be hectic still.
wanna know the details?
refer to the list on the sidebar.
it's lengthy (therefore not worth mentioning here).

i'm involved in filming for ABCDE camps tmr.
for the uninitiated, ABCDE = alpha bravo camp and delta experience.
in short, leadership camps.
from 6.45am to 12 noon.
6.45am leh!
that means i've to wake up by like 5.45? >.<
zzz.
the campers are going to labrador adventure centre.
i was there for my sec 2 adventure camp.
so that place really brings me loads of memories.
wonder how my fellow bunkers back then are doing now.
anyway, back to the main topic.
i guess filming at the outdoors is better than sitting infront of my computer for who knows how many hours.
plus the filming is only half day.
so there's still lots of time for mapling i suppose.
i wanted to chiong from tmr morning at coolies but oh well.
make it sunday morning then (:

term 2 was quite a horrid period for me.
even without my comp, i still slacked alot.
never handed in homework on time, etc.
then when it was fixed in late april, things got even worse.
would think of games everyday upon reaching home.
and as expected, my test grades began to suffer. =.=
i should have scored minimum 20/30 for math common test.
but i completely drew a blank for vectors and only got a 17.
was also lagging behind constantly for GP assignments.
as procrastination continues to take its toll.

still, it's no cause for alarm.
my philosophy is such that studying 24/7 kills.
and i don't wish to become another victim of the mugger culture.
then again, playing too much isn't good either.
i'm well aware of the negative impacts of gaming addiction.
therefore, i will follow my study timetable as much as possible.
(maybe 80% of it?)
and the remainder goes to leisure.
which encompasses gaming, and not to forget......

EXERCISE.

yup.
the fact is, i've been putting on weight since the start of the year.
from 68kg in jan to 71.5 now.
something has to be done during the hols man.
the 6 sessions of NAPFA remedials are only the tip of the iceberg.
self-training is equally important, if not more.
but i won't go to the extent of creating an exercise regime.
i will just exercise when i feel like doing it.
anyway, i think my pull-up is really hopeless liao.
been training with two other guys from 28/06 since last fortnight.
they train everyday while for me, is at least once every two days.
(sometimes i might reach school too late to be able to join them)

but until today, i still cant do a single proper pull-up!
sadded lor.
then my parents would say things like "see la, sec school never go train, then now cannot do is nothing but serve you right. hahaha".
sian 1/2.
it's like super demoralising can.
but i'll never give up.
by end of july i must be able to do at least three.
okay okay, i know that sounds very ambitious.
but with perseverance and determination, i believe that's achievable.

and speaking of perseverance and determination.
i have yet to have any idea of what to write for my personal qualities.
under the school graduation certificate.
it's actually like a testimonial, but the relevant ministry just wanted to make the name sound less mundane i suppose.
i've more or less forgotten what i have done over the past 1.5 years.
or is it the case of me not contributing anything at all?
i might need a miracle in order to have something to write about.

okay.
it's the end of today's rantings.
gtg back and have an early sleep for tmr =.=

total blogging time today: 36 minutes.

econs test coming in less than 15 minutes.
as expected, i didn't study for it.
keke.
now i'm like in holiday mode liao.
last nite i continued mapling at coolies.
5.5% in an hour without hs.
this june hols is supposed to be the time for intensive revision.
but oh what the heck......
this period is perhaps the only time where i can chiong games.
cos after that things gonna get serious.
with the common tests in week 1 and prelims not too long away by then.
my june hols schedule is not quite packed.
but still packed.
every mon and wed for first three weeks, got NAPFA remedial.
next fri, math make-up lecture.
the following mon and tues also got make-up lectures.
not to mention the massive load of holiday assignments we'll be getting.
surprisingly there's been none of that so far.
ominous sign indeed.
okay.
time for some last-minute revision before the test.
bye.

finally, i'm back after a brief hiatus.

well, life since my com's revival is simply madness.
i have quit audition as my com cannot take the lag from the program.
but i still continue chionging in maplestory and pangya.
okay la.
i admit my levels are actually quite low.
but trust me.
june hols i'll definitely chiong every single day.
just hope that my com won't burn out again like it did last december. >.<

slept at 2am last nite.
not chionging games of course.
but getting my homework done.
now you believe that i'm a guai kia? =x
actually all is last minute work de.

my afternoon PE lesson ended 20 mins later than usual.
then i decided to complete my GP essay.
i dunno whether is because i got possessed or whatever.
but i just sat there alone in the canteen busily writing away.
for one whole hour.
canteen lights switched off?
nevermind.
went to area outside staff room.
touched up the essay plan and submitted everything by 7.40.
and by the time i reached home, it was another 40 mins gone.
and when i finally started on my assignments, it was already 9.

i had to do math, geog, and GP stuffs.
and two hours certainly wasn't enough.
stayed up and tried to do as much as i could.
but by 2am my mind told me to retire for the day.
so there you go.

hmm.
will be back with more updates tonite.
gtg for class now~

man.
i'd rather my computer not been fixed.
ever since it was repaired, my addiction to online games has all but returned.
and that's despite strict controls from my parents.
so it won't be surprising that i flunk my mid-years?

but closer to the present.
there's math test tmr.
probability, vectors, complex numbers.
sian.
101% sure fail.
i have little confidence in all the above-mentioned topics.
so expect a horrible score as well.
there's also econs case study test exactly a fortnight from now.
expect another disastrous showing.
cos i just can't recognise the linkages between the various concepts.

` 280407 `

nobody informed me that there's no SL.
and also zi song, amelia, jasmin.
so we made a wasted trip to queenstown early in the morning.
oh forget it.
was supposed to meet my relative at bugis after she collected her work permit.
since it was still early, i dropped by pcbunk, which just opened for the day.
it's been a real long time since i last visited that place btw.
so yup.
played audition for an hour then stopped le.
the $4 hourly rate for non-members is sure expensive.
after that, met up with my relative and had lunch at food court.
went window-shopping around bugis junction for some time.
then i brought her to my favourite hangout.
(no prizes for correct guesses)
she was quite impressed with the large number of terminals concentrated there - 127 to be exact.
about 1pm, she left to meet her friend elsewhere.
while i stayed on and played till 5.30+.

` 290407 `

more games for the entire day.
to the extent that i just stashed all my assignments aside.
gosh.
i should really start getting worried about my results now.

` 300407 ` sports day *

back in school, but i was already in holiday mode.
at least i did the geog hydrology self-evaluation wksheet.
more complex numbers for math, and more confusion as usual.
i realised that i have virtually nothing to write for my school graduation certificate thingy, cos i really can't recall a single remarkable thing i did in or outside school!
sad ar.
also can't do much to improve the situation now.
afternoon got track and field meet.
quite boring as a whole, although there were highlights like the tug-of-war between students and teachers.
which, as expected went in the teachers' favour.
the three emcees' comments didn't help either.
some consolation for cheetah house as they won the cheerobics competition.
which more or less reduced the disappointment of losing the overall champion crown to panther.

` 010507 ` labour day *

went to market with parents early in the morning.
though i'd have liked to sleep for longer hours.
and i actually took time out to sort out all my handouts and worksheets today.
that feeling of accomplishment is...
okay whatever.
didn't do much homework though, besides the news article.

` 020507 ` today *

rained again during the wee hours of dawn.
probably was an ominous sign of bad things to come.
failed to submit gp essay cos i still had one more paragraph to develop.
but i completed the geog worksheet on housing problems.
and econs was just blind copying and still more blind copying.
honestly, up to this point i wasn't in the mood for lessons already.
there's no cca today.
guess i have to get my essay done somehow.

new assignments for today:
# geog: two detailed essay outlines by next mon *070507*
p.s: wait a minute. does 0705 strike a bell to you?

total blogging time today: 48 minutes.
