I felt really lazy today, so i skipped school. I don't really know why, perhaps it's because it's a short day and nothing important will happen, so i didn't go. Or perhaps it's because today may be the last day for a decent rest until my national exams. Anyway, i just didn't feel like going today.

I saw the new and revised timetable for our intensive revision. It's actually the opposite of what i thought it would be. Each day are really long and lessons are cramped to up to 4 periods at once. Just imagine sitting in a room listening to the Chinese teacher rant for 2 2/3 hours. That's how bad it is. The dismissal time is also very late, maybe a little early dismissal for some days, but overall it means that the stress that is tormenting us will continue for a while more. I hope that it won't be the similar case for the beginning of next year...just the beginning.

It would seemed that our results are to be quarantined until the end of the promotional exercise. Apparently so because we would have known our status if the results are revealed, we would have calculated by ourselves anyway. So like what my accounting teacher Mr. T said yesterday, "It's a break that doesn't look like a break because you are not sure of your fate." So true.

On another hand, it can help us by letting us concentrate on our H1 National exams that is coming up pretty soon, say less than 2 months. One sad thing for some people is, that when they realise that they cannot make it to the next level, they gave up on everything entirely. Al least observe something, that the results will still be used even if you're retained, so one should try their best. This is especially true for H1 Project Work.

Speaking of which, my revision for Economics is going well. Studying the notes and the study guide, to me, is actually much fruitful than listening in class. It's either that, i'm constantly distracted in class, or i can concentrate better when i'm at home reading.

For Project Work, our direction had some changes, but we also discover a few other possibilities that our task objectives can be developed into, that we can show that we had thoroughly analyse and overcome most of it that can be done. My team members however, are still not very clear about it. Sometimes, i wonder if it's their fault for not listening well enough, or is it my fault for not explaining well enough.

That's it for today.

 Day 2...but i will be writing about yesterday instead. I set off early in the morning at 8am towards Tokyo station from my hotel. It was a good 20 minutes walk and with decent, cooling weather as well. I found out that opposite my building is a Konami building (although, later in the day when i return i would find that the building houses their Esports studio and school. I managed to get a Welcome Suica card at the Information Cafe of Tokyo station after a good 10 minutes of looking at the directory. The process of getting the card was simple as the staff was able to communicate in English. After i have gotten the pass, i started to look for Shinkansen ticketing machines. Because i was leaving in a short while, all of the reserved seats are already occupied and there was not much of a choice here. The plus of a non-reserved Shinkansen ticket is that you are free to board the non-reserved cabins anytime, as the ticket lasts for 4 days. I arrived at the platform to mad crowding. The...
 Holy RA it's already near the end of April of 2025. Since the last post i've made a second booking to Japan, been there and returned. The visit this time was less of a rush but at the same time, i spent more time relaxing (idling) in the hotel. Originally i've planned annual visits in October of each year but i kind of felt like going again. So i made a booking towards the end of January. Unfortunately, the timing is not really good this time as the weather was pretty dark and gloomy throughout the trip. The Sun only showed up at the last 2 days of the trip. --- This time, i've visited Shizuoka again for its sushi. Same store. Same taste. I've also went to Enoshima and had "Enoshima Don", a seafood egg rice. I've mistaken "Yurantei" for the "Uomitei" that i wanted to visit. Nonetheless, the food is good. I'll visit someday again. Also, fulfilled my dream of taking the Sunrise Express, visiting Izumo and the famed Izumo Taisha (...
 ...with how tired i was in Japan daily, it was easy to leave out writing. For example, i'm already back in Singapore. Following the previous post, i made my way to Ueno Park, Senso-ji in Asakusa, Shikansen down to Shizuoka and visited Sunpu Castle, took a river cruise around Sumidagawa with Tokyo Cruise and ended a full day trip spending money in Akihabara buying old consoles. I'll think about whether i want to go into the details. The last actual day, Friday 18 Oct, was kind of a waste as i was "kicked out" of the hotel early and spent the day in the Airport instead. The storage was full so i couldn't leave my luggage in the airport and go somewhere else. I also can only check it in only 3 hours before the actual flight. It's a good trip overall, even with all the downtime. I am already looking forward to returning next year. I am also going to go for a Business class seat again next year.
