Packed my stuffs today. I should use the word "dump" instead. Basically just classify the notes into subjects and throw them into the container. Now my table is more spacious to put other "crap".
Still deciding whether or not to get a blazer or a jacket for Prom. Probably will if there are still people going shopping these few days.
Maybe I won't get in the end.
Really not in the mood to go out these two days. Was damn tired this morning when I sent my mum off this morning. The night before she was nagging at my bro and I for spending so much time on computer and doing nothing else but play games.
Maybe I should really do something more productive.
I can't seem to bring myself to realise that the carefree education life has ended. EVeryone is gonna start planning for their lives and decide what they really want to do in the future. When I went to my bro's secondary school today, I was really envious of those secondary schools kids when they do not need to think so much about their lives - yet.
Maybe I haven't really matured yet.
The last trip back to my Taiwan using my very own Taiwan passport was memorable. I was able to meet up with most of my relatives and had fun taking the new High Speed Rail that was launched earlier this year. The experience on a 300 KM/Hr train is great. The train took less than 50% of the time than it would have otherwise needed on the traditional train.
Relative gatherings every year never fail to bring back nostalgic memories during CNY and other festivals. Life was never simpler then. I would never forsee myself in this state when I (if I did) ever thought of what would happen to be 10 years later when I was 9. Everything has changed tremendously. I am in a foreign country that I would not even know where to locate it on the map when I was 9. I would never know that I made so many wonderful friends and interesting events that would change my life entirely.
Oh yes, some of you did change the course of my life.
And I almost would alter my life completely if not for a 2 page document back at the Taiwan Airport. Apparently my NS deferrment for Taiwan Enlistment was not registered in the computer system (even though I already deferred). I was detained at the airport and was told that I am not allowed to leave the country. Fortunately I had the documents with me. They (reluctantly?) let me off the end.
Would be quite a traumatic experience if not for being more cautious when I leave the country.
And now I know I cannot go Taiwan during NS for training. =(
Hopefully, I would have more interesting things to blog next time. Quite unlikely, though, given that I am such a low profile individual =)

Yeap I am back into blogging.
No I have not returned to Singapore yet. Will be going back this thursday.
The flight to Taiwan was one of the worst flights I have ever taken, thanks to the two typhoons hovering below the plane on my way taiwan. The kind of turbulance is not the kind that I have experienced before.
To think that now one of the typhoons is heading this way, the weather these two years have really gone haywire. Leaves aren't falling as they should be at this point of time (they are still green and densel-populated now), typhoons appearing in late autumn when they are only abundant during summer time, short sleeves are still usable at this point of time - weather has definitely changed a lot, as compared to what I used to remember when I was young - at least.
More comments reserved, until I have polished up my essay writing skills.
I just worry about my return flight, gonna fly off the day when the typhoon is here.
Some people thought flying in turbulance is fun. To some extent, it is true, because it is somewhat like a roller-coaster ride, except at an altitude of forty thousand feet. Never liked roller-coaster, likewise the turbulance. It is really freaky when you start to hear all the strange creaky sounds.
Okay, I think I am just thinking too much.
On the brigher note, I have gotten my Prom stuffs. In the end, only bought tie and shoes. The others just re-use what I have purchased for concert performance (i.e. the black suit). Just gotta do something about my hair and everything will be fine. (I suppose)
Every year when I return to Taiwan, I was always surprised at how much my cousins have changed, how they are leading a life now that would have otherwise mine as well if not for the decision to move over to Singapore. I am glad that I have moved to Singapore. Studying in Taiwan will be too stressful for me. Leaving the house at 6, returning home at 9pm or 11pm and studying late till 1-2am, I didn't not study as hard for A levels as they are studying for just their Spring test (or the first CA). I used to be in similar situation in primary school, just that there isn't enough homework to do till the midnight. However, comparing across countries, I feel that I ought to have worked harder. I would probably work like that on the eve of submitting the Written Report for PW, but that is just that particular day, not Monday to Friday. Their determination is something that I have long sought for. Alas! I have failed to master the art of self-control.
Other stuffs another time, not really in the mood and situation to blog too much. My nose is killing me. For the third consecutive night I have not slept well. Either I sprain my neck for adopting the same sleeping position the whole night, or there would mosquitos that fly at my ears while I sleep, if not, there would be blocked nose and itchy eyes due to the dusts. Literally, I think I can get my abs trained while sneezing day and night. My tummy is experiencing muscle sore due to excessive sneezing workout.
Take care people, to all readers who have sensitive nose as I do, be grateful that Singapore enjoys good quality environment and air cleaniness.
I miss class outings =(

Before I opened the first page,
I thought that I am not ready
to tamper with
the Pandora's box.
Oh,
Reminiscences of 6C Story.
The night goes on.

I have realised just how little time left I have to study my H3. But I am still gonna try to cram in as much stuffs as possible within these 2 days. No more outing on tuesday...
When everything is coming to an end, I usually feel indifferent. I didn't really jump in happiness or cry in joy. True enough that it is less stressful and we are free to pursue whatever we want to do after A levels - playing, slacking, training (for NS), shopping, etc. Whichever, that is only if you have a craving for something that you cannot do during A levels.
Throughout the period of A levels, I am still playing, still slacking. I don't like to train, and don't like to shop. While I may be able to play more and slack more, I won't feel really much relaxed after A levels. I think I am just weird.
Maybe that is because I won't be spending most of my time with my friends in Singapore..
While I was friendster-hopping yesterday, I came to realise that I have completely lost touch with my primary school friends, especially those that weren't with me in the high school. Sometimes, I feel weird to even see my own primary school friends from other secondary schools in HCJC. I felt that I should have just approach with a friendly smile and chat with them. But I can't bring myself to do it. Maybe I am just shy? Or I just lack self-confidence. Glad to see my primary school classmates doing well in their own space, in whichever school or poly they are in. Some pleasant surprises, and some not so good feeling when I see them. I dont think my primary school classmates will remember me for I was even more anitsocial back then compared to now. I hope similar experience doesn't happen again.
I guess it is time to go, to let go, to fly, to embrace the new life that we are going to get after the conclusion of A levels.

People say
learn from failure
failure is the mother of success
I guess
this time
I have learnt.
I shall live to witness the consequence.

Whee left 6 more papers to go. =)
I wonder if the person invented brunch and lunner is suffering from eating disorder. However, I think the physics paper today is weird. Then again, the dinner tonight is not bad. Someone's mental clog needs oiling, but the stardust is nowhere to be found. The idea is free from biasness, but deals a variable amount of damage and stuns for some unknown amount of time. The industry produces electron withdrawing services that are finger licking fantastic.
Ok!
Randomness rocks.

真不晓得要从和说起。。
华文这门科目就好像是选修华文语文与文学学生的特权一般，其它的学生都不能没必要修读。回想高一拿回高级华文成绩时，到处一片欢声雷动。这并不是因为同学们得到了A1的好成绩，而是无需在高中必修母语。
大家都是现实的。能少修一科，就是比别人多占了一些些的优势。多读一科，就是要为这一科多操一些心，读书压力就多了一些。就像选修H3科目的学一样。毕竟是H课程的“白老鼠”，许多学生在年头选修了H3课程，殊不知，MOEH3犹如多了一个科目，大叹吃不消甚至干脆放弃。选修多一个科目说承受的压力，并不是像数学那样，除以五再乘以六就能得到的答案。如果真要以数学符号代表，压力的五分之六次方都不为过。所以说，能少读一科，就算是赚到了。
说到这里，我还是对我身为一位台湾人感到一丝丝的愧疚。并不是我不会说闽南话（新加坡称福建话），而是因为我好像完全的放弃了我的母语。虽然我本来就对语文没有任何的天赋，但我对自己的母语感到陌生，觉得百般遗憾。或许就像每一个人，我做了最“明智”的决定-不选修非必要性的母语科。但后果我自己明白，我的华文并不很了不起。沟通称不上有任何的困难，但身为华人，学习华文的目的就只是能沟通而已？有些人甚至连沟通都有问题。我并不是在提倡人人应该将自己的母语发扬光大，更不是在教训那些连华语都不会说得人。在为了不必在高中修读母语而沾沾自喜时，不妨想一想，你失去的，是什么。你把那省下来的时间做了那些的运用？还是，只是让你那身为华人的那一面，更颓废了一些。

It is one week into the almost 4-week long A levels examinations.
No, I am not going to write an elongated whining and complaining that could be even possibily longer than the GP essay that I wrote in the exams. Without a doubt, there are hits and misses in the one and only A level exams. More importantly, look forward and do what you can still do in the remaining 3 weeks.
Audrey called me in the afternoon. When she finished asking her questions and my questions for her, suddenly I asked her what she thinks would happen on the day when we finished the Physics Paper 1. She gave the "huh" feeling and thought that just wait till that day and see lor. I thought that everyone would be congratulating one another (and possibly hug in joy?), and I told her I would throw her into the dustbin on that day.
The end of an examination, could possibly be more painful than going through one.
Some of my peers told me that they are going to sell their Graphic Calculators away after the A levels. This makes sense, since not everyone is gonna take up science-related courses in the university. Some may be pursuing sciences, while some others in humanities. But the fact remains: we will no longer be a carefree, JC student.
The end of A levels marks the conclusion of our two-year JC life. While the guys will be entering NS, the girls will be proceeding on to further education. The path never crosses, most unlikely. Maybe as a senior-junior relation in the university, but it is not going to be an experience like the pre-university education. Social life in university is volatile. It would be hard to be close to some particular person, except your soul mate. Everyone hops around everywhere too often, too frequent. No longer in the system of a distinctive class, the social life is in total control of our hands.
Why am I talking about these when they only concern me in more than 2 years time?
3 more weeks to the end of A levels. I wish that A level can end as soon as possible, but I also hope life as a student can be prolonged, just a little longer.
