taking a break from mug-athon.
finished econs yesterday. finished = writing all the essential notes ONLY
phys almost done.. just left magnetic n electro-magnetism... damm bloody boring topics...
haven't really touch on GP so far.. think going to cramp all in tml :)
cramping for such stuff usually works for me
hopefully can get a decent grade for gp...
full time mugging is really boring.. though everybody shuld know this. it's wake up, lunch, books, dinner, books, sleep. the few moments i try to relax, my parents will be breathing down my neck... even when i'm studying, my parents n my grandma oso have comments...
seems that everyone else is oso mugging away... how awfully realisitc and sad of life... back to more mugger-ness

back from fabulous treat from my 3rd aunt.
venue : Raffles Marina Chinese resturant -- Captain's Table

the food was simply great. it was ala carte, and though we ordered 20++ dishes for 5 pple, we all could finished them. the food was not overly oily and they had this great tasting soup which i had. bit sour and had some tomato-ish flavour. free flow of soft shell crab, mussels and fresh prawns. not to mention ostrich meat as well. had quite an enjoyable time, not only with the delicious food, but with the chatting. my aunt was telling us (my cousin, my brother n i) abt how her husband (ie. my uncle) chased her when she was young. quite exciting and interesting. sure provides idea for future.. hrmm...
then after dinner, went to have a seaside walk on the pier. with the wind blowing gently across one's face, the rolling sea in the horizon, it was indeed a pleasant place to be. does wonder to calm one's mind and reduce stress. it would be an excellent place to revisit in the future.

day 1 of mugging has not turned as successful as planned. had a terrible headache whenever i tried to concentrate and it was very hard to get things in. the hot weather only served to accentuate the problems. hopefully, day 2 would be much more productive

finally school is over. no more mad rushing of tutorials, no more dragging oneself to attend lectures. it's time for something even better, stay at home n mug one's heart out. 14 days of muggin straight out. beyond muglike

when i left school last friday, i didnt feel anything. looking back, was i suppose to feel anything? like it's the last day of school, i shuld be sad? i dont know.. i felt it just another normal day. though i would be seeing less of my classmates, but i just dont know... i mean no doubt jc gave me a lot more frens, closer ones as well. but they r mostly outside my class... i think maybe i'm missing out on "unity fun" n "unity spirit", if u get wat i mean. no playing of sports tgt (that's why i dont bother going to pe anymore), no going out tgt for lunch after school (it's a sin not to mug for them) n the list goes on.

still i sometimes wonder whether i should have gone to a s6 class. guess i didnt include the most impt factor when making the decision last year. class spirit. but then again, in such a class, i could have much fun in a group, but yet find it hard to find individual friends. while now, it's kinda the opposite, i'm not sure i should be glad? or should i be contended n stop whining?

okay.. finally back to blogging.
have been draggin and sometimes, was too tired out by work or play to blog. anyway, a few major updates first. now my router has effectively jammed all my gaming ports from sunday 4pm to saturday 4pm. so it means NO maple, NO dota, NO warcraft, NO games. all these for me to mug... actually, i feel that it's for the good of me, but it's kinda hard to get along at first.. especially, after doing much work, just wanna relax a bit.. but i have to source for alternative entertainment and be more contended with it. so yeah, the few anime will help me survive this torrid period. i think every saturady, i would kinda go absolutely crazy. but nvm, it will be good for me.

now the trend of the days in school has moved into the period of revision and tests. i find it more managable than the past. maybe i out more heart into studying or wat, but school seems to be much more tolerable. that's gd :) (though juggling with all the make up and current work is still demanding)
however, also this is a period where people are all buzzing around me with scholarship applications, UK/Ox-brdige application and all the rubbish. somehow i'm suddenly glad of NS. i'm forced to push this aside, and it would give me some time to think about which university to attend, give me time to dig out info and stuff. abt my career, i'm kinda decided. since working in the military environment is not taste ( and i purposedly screw up my commando test), i think my pilot prospects has been cut. so yeah, i would much fancy myself working as a trader/fund manager. then in the future, i would eventually like to have a business on my own. trader coz i like the working environment of risks and adventure associated. then my future business is coz i like having control myself so yeah. it's only kinda of a rough plan, so yeah, time to think through the intricate details.

oh yeah, gt some interesting stuff on national day celebration day. first, went to TCHS there to see the usual parade stuff... but the military band was not bad :) used my times as a seat, coz it was wet, so while the school stood, i sat :D
then wanted to go LAN, but somehow there was not enough people daring to brave the dangers of getting caught -_- so i end up wif the pple i usually play/enjoy dota most with, some of the 64 guys. spend most of the celebration talking abt guys stuff, which i rarely talk to wif my classmates, which included dota and *others*. anyway, as the celebration went on, was moderately amused by some antics of the performance but nothing noteworthy. afterwards i saw my fren n his classmates having A LOT of fun. then one of my fren said this :" Kenneth, you should have come to an S6 class. Look at how much fun you are missing out on." I couldn't agree more, though some of the frens i made in my class i still cherish. next, i went along wif my classmates to eat lunch to celebrate my clsmate's bdae. we went all the way to holland V for crystal jade. though it's kinda far, but i found the quality of the food good enough to justify the distance! a gd first time experience with chinese resturant food, though somehow not that fulfilling. but wat kinda sour the episode, was when my classmate commented this to me when i went to find them after celebrations, she said :" Where were you? So not on wan." I felt extremely indignant. Since when she was to judge me on such things, especially when she NOT exactly on herself. just cos i did not sing a few songs with arms around each other = not on? how fleeting of her. anyway, i give up. i hear my other class frens telling me of their class outings. wat go beach, go lan then go movie together, then go all sorts of exotic places to have all sorts of fun. girls and guys all inclusive. where does my class go? home lar! mug lor! n i'm serious abt it. so it's always left to myself n a few (like 3) others to occupy ourselves. pple tell me it's coz it's a S3 class, blah blah blah, n i used to blame it on the proportion of locals n scholars. but in reality it's not really true, no doubt locals n scholars don't mix too well, but the scholars have their own fun n stuff. yet the locals have one thing that they all do best -- mug.

oh yeah, went for a CV course last friday. ended up being more of an analysis of my profile and character traits. GIC made me do this profiling thingy awhile ago, n i gt the results last friday. it's quite surprisingly accurate. yet i feel that some of the stats have been exaggerated a bit too much. they were like all at the extreme ends, no moderate stats. most are extreme on the positive side, but yet there were a few on the worrying side as well. hope they won't base scholarship applications too much on this... putting the small disagreement aside, the gist of thing talked about was very enlightening. it shocked me a bit, but it made me more aware of my weakness and give me some direction for improvements. have to write a CV soon based on it, and give the course conductor, but with quite a lot of stuff this week, it's kinda hard to squeeze out time for it. shall have to try.

oh yeah, must mention that i feel that the gods of maths and physics are slowing granting thier favour to me again :D this means that my maths and physics are improving, as in my instincts are getting correct again. in the past 2 terms, they were simply wrong on all accounts. (just look at my grades). but recently, it seems that i can solve problems with MUCH more relative ease. there's always room for more improvement, yet this is nevertheless a good start.
*it's a paragraph of self-ramblings, ignore it*

recently, have not been seen a few frens ard. just feel like chatting a bit and catch up or wat... but it seems the pressures of academics is not doing me any favours. hopefully, will have opportunities soon again.

and today, i heard some rather disturbing truths abt a clsmate of mine. all i can say is that i'm rather shocked and deeply empathize with the people affected. it's really ironic how that person had did things in the past and inflicted much harm to pple affected.

for i have a lot to blog abt, so the content a bit chaotic. for those that still check my blog and read this, i thank you :)
