Impending Apocalypse

Next week is the time doom converges on me. Maths Test, Physics Test, Chemistry Test, GP Essay Assignment, Chinese Essay writing, Nafta Test and Chemistry Tutorials are to be checked. Not to mention Project Work, and GP Group Presentation. People are gonna find out I've been skivving all this while.

The week is so happening! No? I'm gonna be in HELL. Haven't touched on a single subject, been sleeping in Physics lessons all this while, have done less than 50% of Maths tutorials, haven't done a single Chemistry tutorial. Haven't wrote an essay in English in weeks, haven't wrote an essay in Chinese in months. (it's a miracle I can still read and write Chinese.) Have been unenthusiastic at best about Project Work and GP Group Presentation. And only recently have I discovered how unfit I am.

Well, well, I guess some bad habits from secondary school don't change. My doom awaits.

Lost

Lost, I am. I see emptiness. A bottomless abyss. Yet I see a faint glimmer of hope. Light at the end of a tunnel.

The perfect opportunity, or an unattainable goal? Only by trying can I find out.

Sometimes, the heart tells you to go somewhere you haven't gone, to step out into the unknown. This is the test of your determination and courage. Why do I constantly feel life is like a downward escalator on which I must climb up? I must have the courage to ascend to the top. It beckons. I must negotiate the invisible obstacles that stand in my way. Or perish in the attempt.

Under Construction...

This site, as anyone could probably tell, is under construction. Actually, construction never finishes on good websites, no?

This time, I made a few tweaks here and there, using my (limited) html skills. I just recently learnt how to make a link I want. (Yes, mock at me if you want, but remember everyone was once a newbie to everything) Thus the links are up! Some lead to very nice blogs, some lead to blogs under construction (like mine), whose owner is learning the ropes along the way (like me). Hopefully the domain of the TiCK will be more exposed to the outside world. (My friend still doesn't know how to link, therefore, as of now, the link to his blog is only one-way.)

That's when the need to polish my blog comes! After all, there's no need to introduce myself to myself, to write nice stuff for myself to admire. Cavemen were very bored until they discovered other caves with other cavemen living in them. Soon, many caves will emerge, and the landscape will look like swiss cheese. And I get to say "Hi!" to every caveman and women.

My horrible mood lifted a little today, even when today is like "the entire world is totally against me", almost nothing is right. I'm happier, and that's all that matters.

HOT!

Again, one of those days where everything seems worse than usual. Mother sounds naggier than usual, everything seems more unresponsive, bus comes later than usual, and worst of all, the TERRIBLE WEATHER! I don't understand why people like the sun so much... But the weather nowadays is atrocious... Freaking hot accompanied by oh-so-lovely humidity just to ensure you are sweaty and sticky throughout the day, with a layer of water vapour surrounding you as if you are in a sauna. I know April is the beginning of the hot and dry season, but THIS kind of weather is a natural calamity! How I fondly remember the good old days last year when most of this dire period was spent indoors due to closure of schools. I had no idea this hell existed outdoors all this while in the comforts of my 24-hr-a-day air-conditioned room... Yea I'm not an outdoor kind of guy, especially in this weather.

Dearth of Blogging

Really busy right now... Now that ALL my free days are eaten up by chinese lessons... Except Sundays. But one has to play on Sundays, no? Besides, the never-ending pile of homework looms ever so menacingly... I'm seriously way behind. School life really sucks. It is only in this (slightly) longer weekend that I find time for enjoyment, and thus I haven't been blogging lately. But I'm not gonna let this go... not now... not yet... Therefore this blog won't be as active as before I believe, now that school life is stepping up a gear. Oh well, back to doing homework...

Skoolz

Today was rather "slack" First, council elections replaced most of the lessons in the morning, and I was sitting at the back the whole while watching and playing chess. When the time to vote came, my brain was still in chess mode, and was given about three seconds to think who to vote... Come to think about it, I didn't really vote as I had intended to, and not too wisely, either, as my votes were determined by the individual candidate's "sincerity", and "willingness to serve the school". I shall not elaborate on the terms in inverted commas here =) Actually, I was thinking... There's this candidate I voted for whom didn't express his "sincerity" that well... But it's okay. Given the opportunity, I believe most people have the potential to perform in what they are commited at. But on the fundamental basis, personality counts the most. And I can no longer tolerate the attitude of some prefects the last time round. (I'm not pointing fingers at any individual...)

Enough of this council nonsense... Does anyone really believe the Student's Council has the power to drastically improve our lives at school?! Looking at the prefects back in secondary school and primary school, I highly doubt so... Not that I have anything against prefects... The Student's Council just does what it is meant to do, nothing more. But... That explains why I was more involved in chess games than what the council nominees say during the elections. Then after that came a massive two-hour break, which I obviously did not intend to spend in the school canteen (the canteen food just sucks). An advantage of being in HCJC is the adjacent Chinese High School, and since one can travel from one campus to another, it is relatively easy to sneak out of one of the gates without bumping into meddlesome people. (Actually, I didn't expect the teachers of the Chinese High School to be so docile and harmless... It turned out that one cannot generalise. Some people are bound to trigger alarms and all that, totally bent on ruining everybody's day.) Thus, a group of us walked out and treated ourselves to a much nicer meal (It turned out to be more groups than I had anticipated).

On the whole, today was rather "slack" as most of the day's lessons were "eaten up"... Why, then, is my mood still so foul? Doesn't life just suck sometimes and you can't explain it? I really need time to "unwind"... I hope this "foul streak" doesn't continue to my birthday, which is a little too soon...
