I just realized that I haven't been updating for quite a while now. O wells, shall just do it in point form before going off to sleep today.
1. Went off to Holland Village to study with Dong and Kenneth last Saturday. Wasn't really productive, but that was probably cause I had other issues on my mind. Anyways, Holland Village's Starbucks really is such a great place to study. Tables, Air-con, and coffee. Furniture, comfort and the lifesaver. What else could you really ask for?
2. Received my NS Enlistment date. 9 Jan 08. Haiz, its much too early for me, but who am I to argue. Since I have been asked, what can I do but to go. Alas. Lols. Its at School 1 and apparently there's even at least 4 timings for the day itself, at 8.30am, 10.30am, 11.30am and 1pm. James, Darren, Teren, Tim, Justin and me are on the same day, but only Tim has the same timing as me, at 1pm.
Haha! 4 hours off NS. Free!
3. Worried about life in NS, looking at the shape I am now (Round), I'm really having quite some worries that I'm going to be suffering and getting tekaned all the way in NS. Was thinking of getting a relief teaching job at AC and taking it easy if I was the April Intake, but looks like I have to work even harder after A Levels. Woe is me.
4. Got to update the song list on my phone too, suddenly realized how many songs are missing, yet I can't fit everything in. How sad, looks like I have to be dealing with it until NS I guess. Which brings me to the issue, I wonder if I should be bringing an Mp3 into the camp. Perhaps I'll just get a radio, cheaper, and I won't have to be spending time choosing the music.
5. Also thinking about something to do over the course of NS. Probably going to try to pick up Japanese or French in camp, but we'll see how it goes. Maybe I'll just read more into a particular subject or something. We'll see. Will definitely be catching up on my reading, that's for sure.
6. Thinking about bridge. Major disruptions due to NS. Shaun and I can play for the Golden Harvest Competition, but it looks unlikely that we're going to get to play Youth Teams. I'm looking to ask Mr. Wong to use his status and write in a letter to the NS for Shaun, so we'll see how. And I'm going to be missing the NTU Open Pairs as well sadly. Haiz. Doesn't look good.
7. Need to get a new phone for NS as well. Looking to either get another battery for my Old phone or get a new one altogether with a new battery, will see how that one works out as well.
8. A Levels around the corner and I'm getting very worried. I know everyone is getting worried as well, and really I've had my own share of "Are you worried?" questions. Sadly, everytime when I answer truthfully that I'm really screwed for Econs and GP, everybody would shrug it off as a joke. Economics and General Paper are the 2 most inconsistent subjects I've ever seen in my life. Its incredible how 2 similar questions can have 2 completely different answers, which one school would give full marks on and another a L1 score. It worries me that if even the schools can get in tune, how am I expected to do so. I'm frankly very worried about the 2 subjects, believe me. And the last thing stopping my nerves is when someone asks, then immediately discards my opinions as a sign of humility... when its not.
9. Yes, I'm nervous about being royally screwed for econs and GP, and I'm wondering if I should be taking my intended courses in my university of choice in the future. It would probably be NUS, but the issue is what type of Engineering and whether I should even attempt Business Management and Accounting. If its everything like the Economics we learn now, I am really having second thoughts. The choice was made, I won't lie, simply to appease my parents that I'm doing something related to business. And since it was a good fallback on if I don't stay on as a teacher in the future, I thought it was a good idea.
Apparently not.
10. These few days has really worked me to the limits, not just to studies. It is true that I've been so frustrated with GP and Econs that I'm really close to giving up on them altogether, if not for the motivation of a few weeks left. But the way I've acted these past few days have incited my interest. And I didn't mean that in a good way at all actually. But its interesting to study myself when I'm in a stressed environment. Really not what I would have expected, but since its been happening the past few days, its really interesting to take notice. Got to really tone down a bit and just relax.
11. Looking at Maths, chem and physics now, there's just something bugging at the back of my head that I should be doing more for it. I was having problems with the Mock Physics paper and I haven't even received back my mock Chemistry paper. But I am afraid that those subjects would screw up. Come to think of it, the last time I had all As for those 3 subjects, were back in Term Exam... in J1. Chemistry had failed me time and time again, over stupid reasons, hopefully that won't happen anymore.
12. Can't study at home at all too. Been spending much more time in school, just studying in either the library or the void deck. But today while walking into the school, there's this really strange feeling about it. Perhaps I'm just digging to much in to it, but as the J1s finish their school for the year, it was weird to be in the school that was almost completely vacant. No canteen food, no noise. Nothing. There was actually much more peace.
And somehow its weird. Almost the sign that the real end of this journey is ending soon.
13. And as you can tell, I've been having a lot in my mind. Perhaps even more than this, just that I can't put it online for the viewing of the masses.
14. And just so I don't end on the 13th point, Go Study, Good luck for A Levels. =)
