Rejuvenate. Revive. Regain. Reborn.

So let me start with the updates of what's been happening in my life (if there is anyone interested to know, that is.), which contradicts the initial purpose of what this blog is mainly intended to be ie. a place for me to reflect.



After CTs, school has been quite relaxing. Lectures the whole day. And always ended with LAN session with classmates after school. Sinful.
Except today. Haha.


Woke up super super late 'cause I forgot to set my alarm the night before I went to slumber land. And this is the second time I woke up at 11am during normal school day. =.='
Wanted to rush to school but it would end 30 minutes later.
Yes, today's lectures ended at 11:30am.

Since it's pointless to come to school, there came the second stuff to deal with;
The thing to redeem my tardiness; MC or parental letter.
Parental letter is a bit harder to get in my case, and less believable, since I had no other excuse as to why I couldn't wake up on time.
Apparently "forgetting to set my alarm" didn't sound good enough to my ears ==

So I was betting to get myself an MC.
Went to a clinic outside my place. After a brief session of smoking through the clinical session with the *cough* lie of me having a migraine in the morning, I got myself an MC.
At the expense of S$29.90 =.='
Totally burnt a hole in my wallet.

Next, I proceeded to meet my usual NJ cliques/classmates for LAN session *again?!*
Purchased a packet of 5-hour, at S$10.
Super hardcore, haha. 5 hours of DoTA and L4D2.
I can say that I've improved a little in DoTA.
Though I'm most probably nowhere near a level of a regular player.


Wanted to stay with them for dinner, but I've got dinner with my fellow PA ExCo.
Felt quite bad to abandon them, since we originally wanted to hang out all night long.
In the end, Sean and Marc can't make it. And we cancelled the plan.

Nevertheless, it was always a good session of "laughing fits" with these group of ExCo.
And it was a dinner at JustAcia at Dhoby Xchange, a place of memories for us.

I personally like reminiscing about the 'good old times'.
It just makes me grateful about the good things that have happened to me.
And somehow it makes the bad stuff look minuscule in comparison.


Anyway,
After that I stayed a bit longer with Jie Xiang, without the knowledge of the rest. Haha.
To talk a little while more, and to do......something else.
[Before some people think sick or something, no it was nothing sick. Just that, I'm not prepared to reveal it yet in case it would put me in a bad situation. Haha.]
Probably it's the first time that I've done that properly.
It was not a pleasant experience.
Okay, pleasant and 'high' for a while. But after that, no.
NOT at all....
I don't think I'm gonna be doing it again for a while. For a long while! Heh.


But what he told me has got me thinking.
We have only a handful of time left to prepare academically.
It's less than 10 weeks before Prelim exam.
And before we realise it'd be like "Oh shit, another week is gone!"
Or "Oh crap, next week is Prelim!"
And after all, it's like about 16 weeks to A Level.
If we don't start soon, it would be too late.

Studying during week days can only earn you so much.
Listening in class can only help so much.
'Cause it's like, you'll sleep for about 20% of the time spent in school (haha!)
And will daydream for another 10%.
And that leaves you with 70% efficiency to be fully used in school.
And with the current level of studying and academic performance I'm in (oh hell no, CTs results =='), it'd take more than 10 weeks to prepare.


How could O Level feel so far away when I was still in July 2009?
How could the burden be so much heavier now?
How could the impending danger seem so much nearer when it actually starts later than my O Level did?


No matter what,
I'll have to use these remaining 2-3 days to rejuvenate my own mind.
To revive my studying mode again, this time for a longer time.
To regain my motivation to face the Goliath of my life. It's the final lap now.
And of course, to pray to be reborn from the ashes of failure that has been dragging me down all along, all the time.



Ora et labora!
