Time for another update.

Firstly, i lost my job.

Apparently, what happened is the project leader i'm working under is terminated and as a result all 17 of us were terminated. I've nothing much to argue about or anything, since it's already stated in the contract that we can be terminated even without notice.

The other thing about the the job is that my pay rate is actually much higher than what i expected. It works like this: I hand in search results based on a keyword, and for every 100 of them i hand in, i earn a dollar. I can do 100 words in half an hour, so that pretty much translates to 2 dollars an hour. Then i found out that it is actually 3 dollars per 100 words. So i actually have 6 dollars an hour.

I'm just waiting to collect it next month.

I think it is pretty much known, but the rumoured 'A' level results release date is next Friday, 5th March. To be honest, i am scared of what i'll get. Sure, i did everything i could last year but the fear is still there. Now i'm praying to get my at least average B.

The best score i can get:
Physics - A
POA - A
Maths - B
GP - C

The worst score i can get:
Physics - B (Because last year's paper is so easy, the JC people can own us)
POA - B (Nothing less, because it's an in-house competition)
Maths - D (Last year's Maths paper is a out-of-blue kind of difficulty, i've said this countless times)
GP - E/S (Because i have no confidence in my Paper 1).

I have no idea to be confident or scared over it, but the point is that it's over and beyond the point where i can do anything to improve it. Right now i'm just taking what my teachers and the Principal said back in school as a consolation:

"If you're in the top 20% of the school, you have a high chance of entering a University."

Makes me wonder that, i'm the third. What will happened if i did not make the mark?

I've ran out of things to say today...maybe gaming stuff, but bah, i doubt those are things that interest you people. Oh, i'll share this interesting video:



See you.

 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.
