Resolutions of Life

As promised, here is my post for the last day of 2009. Let's start with the serious business first, the review of this year for me. 2009 is a rather major year for me, as i'm taking all of the remaining A level papers. Yet i did not choose to have a good start. I started the year being really...lazy and somewhat irresponsible. I skipped school several times for no apparent reason...maybe just to game, but it's not reason enough. Eventually i snapped out of that phase and stay focused after Term 1. Then came the mid-year prelim examinations, which i don't give heck and continued my gaming spree despite the exams going on. Hence, there is no surprise i got results that became my worst performance ever. For the first time since 2 years ago, my name was removed from the ranking board. To make things worst, it's people i felt that they cannot make it, makes it to the board. I felt really threatened and maybe, just maybe, a little scared. Unlike what i looked on the surfa...

Well, i didn't expect this post as much as i expect the dream...or should i say, nightmare i have last night. I dreamed that i'm receiving my A level results. We were in a classroom with just people from my class, then a teacher we don't know starts to announce names of top students. 5 names were announced and i'm not one of them. What's worse is...the people for top 5 actually made sense! It's entirely possible they can be top 5 for class, though there were better candidates. This nightmare is going to bite me for months...till the release of the results.

Right, before today ends, i'd like to wish all of you out there looking at this (At the same time, also to those NOT looking at this) a very Merry Christmas. I don't have much to say except words that are unneccessary, like "Enjoy!". Well, look out for my 'Last Day of the Year' post/ I'll review this year as a whole, as well as my resolutions for next year. See you. Real soon.

Oh well, hello everyone. I'm done with my job, but before i talk about the job, let's talk about how i got it. It started when my friend and card-mate, Astley, called and told me about a job. He said that it's a traffic surveyor and asked if i'm interested. Well, since i'm rather free after the exams and had nothing to do, i agreed to it without much hesitation. Skipping to the day of briefing, Astley, Wei Jun, and I went to North Bridge Commercial Complex in Bugis for a briefing. The person-in-charge, Leo, briefed us about an urgent project they are doing, and some of the things we need to know to do it. When the selection for the location is going on, Astley, the main guy, just stoned all of a sudden. ...because of that, we are dispatched to Marina South, without a choice, as compared to West Coast, which is much farther. I'm considerably annoyed by his indecisiveness, but i could not bring myself to say anything harsh. He resembles me in every way when i was ...

Well, back for more already. This time on a heavier note. I've been nominated by my school, for a National University of Singapore Scholarship. I'm not too sure how should i feel. My parents are surprised and pleasant about it, but i, myself, felt that it is overkill. All things said now is too early. I'm not feeling really confident about my exams...at least, not a "Straight A's" feeling because of some messing-ups. Then all these university invitations and scholarships what-nots just keeps coming and coming, almost expecting me to get a really superb score, based on my preliminary. I once, heard from a teacher during maths lesson, that the A Levels exams, mmm? They aren't really representative of a student's performance because it's a one time examination. The teacher, Mr. P, further said that this is why some countries still refuse to take up the Cambridge examinations, despite its authenticity and reputation, as they believe a student's per...

A week as passed since my exams are over. It is quite hard to take it. I mean, all of a sudden, i'm free to do anything and almost everything. This freedom is rather refreshing, but also a little strange and unnatural. This reminds me of the period after my O level exams. Just that this time is a little different since i'm going to look for a job. Astley already found me one, though it only lasts 2 days long, but i'm looking forward to the experience it brings. In the past week, i've did nothing but watch videos (Like animations and especially, Mythbusters). I've also cleaned my room up. The legendary 'Paper Mountain' is gone and the empty space under the table is really...new. I kind of miss it, but i'm sure that i won't have to use those materials again. Oh, i've received a letter from the Army. I'm classified as PES C9 L2. Basically it means, i'm unfit for a lot of stuff (Like Marching, Outfield). But the L2 means i can still carry fir...

Well, it has been a month. Hello everyone, i'm back from Hell. A lot has happened in these past 3 weeks, during my exams. Of course i meant outside of the exams themselves, there's a lot despite the studying, memorizing and revising. Well, before the exam started, my mother decided to play the biggest trick that i've ever seen. She placed my cousin (From my mother's side) in the same room as i sleep in. Me on the bed, and him on the floor. I'm not afraid to voice it out or even show my disagreement, though my mother will just brush it off that it's "not going to cause any inconvenience" to me. Yeah right. For some reason, he keeps kicking my bloody bed at night, and it has awoken me a hell lot of times. AND he snores with a hissing sound. So his combo goes like, kick my bed and wake me up, then snore to keep me awake. This is one serious problem for me, especially for days when i have paper in the morning, which seriously happened despite my praying th...
