The exams are tomorrow. I'm too tired to study for it anyways... However, I got to. The results of the class tests I did this and last week are completely revealed to us today. I've just passed my Geography Class Test and Chinese(I've expected it already even though my scores previously were not bad), failed my History, Scored adequately for Physics and Chemistry and scored well for both my E and A-Maths, English and Social Studies. Quite okay la... Except that I've to buck up on my Sciences and Humanities... I will give my absolute best for the oncoming exams. I've said that I would declare a crusade against the exams... I am declaring it now. With the Burning Legion by my side...

"Students nowadays are so clueless", the math professor complains to a colleague. "Yesterday, a student came to my office hours and wanted to know if General Calculus was a Roman war hero..." - Maths Jokes
Today was quite a day. After lessons and stuff, I went to the usual basketball court near Gavin and Chong Jin's house with them and Bryan Cheo to play basketball. 4 2-on-2 matches... The pair that got me(the teams were re-shuffled after every match. Me + Bryan(won 7-4), Me + Chong Jin, Me + Gavin, Me + Bryan again(Lost 6-7)) won 3 times, lost 1. I'm the official M-V-P of all the matches together. Scoring, assisting, blocking, rebounding... Yeah... However, there's an A-Math test tomorrow and I need to study even though I feel tired and feverish. And there are still homework to be done... *sigh* I really hope that the exams would end soon so that I could focus on B-Ball, Starcraft 2 and stuff... But I want the marvellous results even more...

I never thought it would be easy to serve God. I just didn't think it would be this hard. - Hwi Noree
Today is certainly not a good day. First up, it's my mum again. I don't wanna talk about it. Then the outing with Alvin is supposed to be fun and yet... Partly, it's my fault. Playing in an arcade is not what Alvin needs or what he really desired. Then, the bad stuff happened. Alvin's... Never mind. I really felt that the day's totally wasted and I really hate it. How much must I show mercy and forgiveness to someone who should actually understand mercy more than me but it is certainly the other way round. Mercy... This word have been appearing on my mind every moment I am furious at something or someone. Mercy... Forgive... Love... For how long more? Yet I would always think of how God sacrificed his son to die on the cross... God have shown mercy to the sinners... He did not send legions of angels on those sinners who mistreated his only son which did nothing to deserve that kind of pain. Every now and then I am confronted by the conflict in my mind. I am but a human.

Do not be trapped by the need to achieve anything. This way, you achieve everything. - Hayt, the ghola
The class tests are on! Having 3 class tests TODAY was a giant feat, trying to study for all 3. I did my best, hopefully enough to pass Geography as I've got not much problems with History and Chemistry. The exams are catching up soon. I can't keep my 'excitement' down, man. I really need to score well this time and shut my mum up. I believe that I can do it... Provided the paper set is not what we had during our last common test: Shit. However, I'm not gonna be trapped by the exams. I am just gonna live my life as always. I will achieve it.

No one is ever completely forced into his position in life. We all have opportunities to take different paths. - Conversations with Muad'Dib by the Princess Irulan
7 is my lucky number and therefore one of my two favourite numbers, the other being 13. Since this is the 7th post (not counting the 1st which is just... irrelevant), it should be quite interesting for some. Different people take different paths in their life, whether in terms of jobs, decisions, religion etc. Opportunities to change the path we are taking comes by occasionally. It's our decisions that shapes our future. Decision to study hard or slack around, decision to erase an addiction or continue with it, decision to forgive or bear a grudge, decision to make someone your enemy or a friend, decision to trust or not trust, decision to take this course or the other, decision to love or to hate, decisions of many things. A lot of times, if you don't go one way, it doesn't mean that you went to the complete opposite. Like for example: If you don't take someone as a true friend, it doesn't mean that you take him as an enemy. We all can choose to take different paths and take different views of something. We don't have to stick to one path. We are free to go on another as the paths are abundant. We are not forced to our positions in life, we all have opportunities to switch paths. And the decisions we make when we stand at crossroads are what we will comment on as we look back, either regret or glad that we have made that decision. Pray that your's the latter. Decisions shapes our future... and us.

Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson. - from The Humanity of Muad'Dib by the Princess Irulan
I'm fired up in Physics and Elementary Mathematics these few days, learning and practising them as much as I could, putting in extra effort, doing extra work. I really hope that my efforts would be paid off in the coming End-of-Year Examinations. I find myself falling in love in E Math again... It's such a good feeling. I hope it would last... I really hate graphs, modulus functions and anything that gotta do with graphs. I wished I could say the same for Additional Mathematics though. Also, I find myself beginning to once again have the habit of having afternoon naps. Just too tired after school. Perhaps the naps could be pretty advantageous to me. Like Chief Mendez said to John: rest can be used as a weapon. It could be as deadly as a pistol if used right. Something like that.

A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. - from Manual of Muad'Dib by the Princess Irulan
School has began again. This time, it's Term 4. The EOY Examinations will be on our throats soon. Luckily, time is on our side. Well, at least it's on my side, even though it's only a little. Now balancing work and rest seemed to be as more difficult than balancing chemical equations for me. However, I'm making an effort. I'm not gonna give up. I'm promised to bring the Burning Legion with me to massacre those idiotic questions hiding within those exam papers, ambushing me every now and then during the last Common Test. However, I started today with some difficulties. A bad omen perhaps?

Four things cannot be hidden — love, smoke, a pillar of fire and a man striding across the open bled. - Hayt
Today was a fun day. Me and my fellow teammates went ahead with the Solar Racer Competition Day 2. It was raining heavily and we couldn't go on as planned as we lack solar energy. So all the competitors have to use battery-charged remote-controlled cars. Edwin Wong was really funny with his antics during the competition. We didn't win though, due to a noob car and didn't have the chance for a rematch. But never mind, the fun part comes when Mr.See came by. 9 people including me and him (the driver) squeezed onto his 5-seater Lancer EX. That was EPIC. Then due to the contract he signed, we get to eat at Pizza Hut, his treat. Truth or Dare then starts. All the boys there excluding Nicolas got sabo-ed with questions of girls they are accused of liking. Well, though I think I'm the only one being accused as the others seemed right. However, thoughts keep on flashing in and out of my mind. Thoughts I thought to have been suppressed since two years ago. I've got this funny feeling again. A funny feeling for you. Once more. Maybe I got to suppress this feeling again. Cause' I have this feeling for someone else already.

There will be a time when loud-mouthed, incompetent people seem to be getting the best of you. When that happens, you only have to be patient and wait for them to self destruct. It never fails. - Richard Rybolt
Yesterday night (actually just a few hours ago) was a fun night. Me and my friends went to Sembawang Park to celebrate one of our friend's birthday. We had a BBQ there. Once again, the problem starts when it drizzles then rain. But soon, the sky clears once more and we began the fire-starting. Yes, you would have guessed it if you know me well enough. Once again, the problems lies with the fire-starting. From 7:20pm we tried all the way till about 10pm+. It was due to my mistake in forgetting the aluminium foil and the double fire-starter tactic. Also, it was due to incompetency by some other people. However, I don't blame them. All human makes mistakes and that includes me. However, with some assistance from my friends, WE got the job done (most credit goes to me though, hahas). Fire-starting needs patience, skill and experience, and not everybody has that. But we can learn. This quote works though, a lot of times for me.
