I’ve been wanting to make this blog post, ever since the end of my mid-years exams. Hmm, worst exams ever sat for? Not really. My Olevel was one major crap. Last year’s Prelim 2 was the crappiest. L1R5 was rocket-high. Anyway one of my good brothers posted this on his facebook status. There’s no other way for me to agree to-the-max with him, other than ‘like’ his status. “I was shocked to see people emo after the chem paper. Luckily cat high trained me in failing killer papers with bigbig grins on my face.
” Hell true!
Anyway, this midyears examination was a great wake-up call for me. 15% of Promos, perhaps too costly, but it’s definitely worthwhile. Come to think of it, my midyears revisions were pathetic. Maybe pathetic isn’t intensified enough to express how screwed up they were. Subjects like Maths, goddamn. I can never forgive myself. I started revision the night before from 1am till 4plus. I managed to cover only 2 chapters. And the previous time i studied for Maths was one and a half weeks ago. And, i studied Maths as though it’s an Art subject. Memorised some formulas and answers, whatever. The next morning, i woke up at around 10am. Maths exam was 2pm. Awesome right? 4 good hours to wrap up my revisions for Maths. Goddamn. I was freaking out. I wonder why, but Maths was the only exam paper that i lost my cool, perhaps i really didn’t wanna let my Maths teacher down. Yeah i freaked out. I forgot to breathe. I was panicking. Seriously, I was swearing, like ‘FML!’ and i really hope my neighbours didn’t hear what i shouted. I kept swearing. Then i told myself, i need to stay calm. And i started telling myself, ‘I’m a genius, i’m a genius, i’m a genius..’ I kept chanting, really. Thinking back, it helped a little. -.-
Midyears exams, another great flaw within my mind is the thought of it being just 15%. It makes me don’t feel like studying for it, at all. Anyway! I think my parents’ gonna kill me. Not because i didn’t do well for it, but because i told them that i’d do well. Hell yeah -.-
15% Promos = 15% effort? Did i even put in 15% effort? I think i did, more or less. The night before my Geography and Econs paper, i stayed throughout. This was the first time that i didn’t sleep the entire night, just to prepare for exams. Not a good idea, totally. I felt like vomiting when i was doing the Geography paper, perhaps due to the imbalance of acidity level in my stomach. Screwed up exams, that sums up everything. Nonetheless, i admire my perseverance to mug the whole night.
Oh yeah. Two nights before my first exam paper, i was totally not in the mood to study. I sat in front of the computer, just kept refreshing my facebook newsfeed for like 30mins? And checked twitter, read through my own blog and blah blah. I don’t know what struck me, but i felt like watching Armageddon out of a sudden. I didn’t hesitate much. I went to my harddisk, and i clicked on it. Woo~ Spent 3hours watching, till around 6am in the morning. I personally feel that it’s the best film ever created. Great cast, great soundtrack and most importantly, great storyline. Oh basically, it’s about a national disaster that’s gonna happen (Meteor strike) and NASA sent a team of genius up to blow up this Meteor rock. Awesome movie. Very touching. Love the theme song too, by Aerosmith. Hmm i estimated and i think i definitely watched it more than 5 times.

Hmm i feel that somethings are not worth our time, to even think about it, because the more we think of it, the more complicated it becomes. But well, i now feel that perhaps the deeper we think into it, we may actually figure something out of it. I thought of it for the entire night few days back, and i figured my way out. Not really entire night, but quite a while though. Self enlightenment is the best form of enlightenment. I’m glad i manage to straighten my thoughts. After all, it’s just a minor thing life. Give up? There’s nothing to give up, since i didn’t hook on to it in the first place. It’s more like forgetting and move on? Yeah perhaps. After all, there are more things out there that are worth my time and brain juice, and sleep of course. It’s better to concentrate on our studies now, right Kenneth?
I’m really happy that there are people out there, who experience the same problem as me, and are willing to listen to my woes. I call them ‘brothers’. Thanks a lot. When it comes to others, i can give them many advices as though i’m some saint or cassanova. But when it comes to me, i feel helpless. Thank goodness, i manage to suppress it. Once again, i reintroduce myself to the greener pastures, and i feel the breeze. The feeling can’t get any better.
It’s nearing 3am now. And i’m still not feeling sleepy. Ahh maybe i shall watch Armageddon on my TV screen this time round instead, haha! Goodnight people!
Food for thought: What’s the point of announcing proudly to the whole wide world that you’re in a goddamn relationship on facebook? I thought of it for quite some time, and i can’t figure it out. Well, i find it utmost unnecessary. And to a certain extent, i feel that it’s utmost disgusting. Yeah whatever, you may think that i’m jealous of those dudes who got hooked up. -.- Hmm perhaps i should ask my brother, my biological one i mean.
