Pretense

Posted by HELiX

It would appear that Prelims are over, after a gruelling two weeks that saw me face the consequences of mugging fatigue. I did try, perhaps a little too hard, to the point that I couldn’t be bothered to revise on the day before the papers — which was an utterly terrible idea.

Stress is such a bitch. With it amounting to all-time high levels for me over the past few weeks, my face was producing oil like the UAE. And now I have this acne-ridden cheek. Complete bitch.

Prelims are, well, like that. I didn’t do great, hardly anywhere near as well as I wanted to do. What’s done is done, and there’s always A-Levels to rely on. Joys of being a boy and serving the military.

Sure, I have two more papers left - Chemistry and Physics MCQs in the following week - but practically the whole cohort has agreed that they’ve been through enough and it’s about time to enjoy.

And I’ve already started.

For the first night in quite a while, I wasn’t spending the night at home. My family got hit by the pyrotechnics bug again and so we went to catch the Singapore Fireworks Celebrations 2008.

Photos in a while after I load them from the camera, but they were generally poor taken as I really can’t be bothered anymore. It’s getting repetitive.

…

I’ll take a good break from studying for a little while I guess. My grades are being affected in a negative way, in fact, because all the constant work wasn’t that helpful especially when it runs down your stamina before the real examinations itself.

So, to begin, I’ll work on this website a bit.

Oh yes, I wanna do a Version 4.

This particular layout and design is approaching its one-year anniversary now, and I’m also starting to see so many eye-sores in what I previously thought was a flawless skin.

But I think the main page would have to wait for a bit. The current one took me two full weeks of work, and I don’t think my break can last that long. And I don’t have the luxury of focusing on designing the new layout in my free time as I have other fun plans as well.

So I’ve decided to just work on my lab page and make it really good this time. It will break off from the design of the main page and other pages, unlike what I have now currently. That’s right, it will have a design on its own.

And I’ll do a lot of random weird stuffs, perhaps some bit of sports as well through the holidays, because I’ve been sitting on my ass for the past few weeks. The workload during this phase of a JC2 student can really make you into Jabba the Hut.
