Cold War

It didn't really occur to me until during assembly yesterday morning that it was the last day of the term. i guess i've been so caught up in the rat race that insignificant things like that just got forgotten. i'm beginning to see how it could be possible that people can get so busy that they forget milestone events like their own birthdays. importance really is relative, not just with respect to each other but to time as well.

econs was quite bad, really. i was banking on micro to save myself because i still can't do macro at all, but all the micro questions were of the broad, vague, 25-mark type. also, my pen ran out of ink halfway through the second essay, and during the only exam where i left my pen refill in my bag instead of bringing it with me... it was kind of unsettling, but ultimately beside my main problem of time management. i've got a long way to go before the 'A' levels man T_T

after the paper, 09SH28 went to KAP for lunch, all because we trusted jacob (a fatal error!) when he said that macdonald's breakfast hours have been extended to 12 noon -.- we stayed there for a while to occupy seats and make noise, then moved on to bukit timah plaza for pool. once again i volunteered myself for the noob table, but we still had a great time chasing after that little black ball. afterwards, a bunch of us went to jianzhong's house for table tennis and swimming. jianzhong was being an idiot as usual (on home ground, too), and we ended up imitating an olympic table tennis match, complete with all the "hurh!"s and "hyah!"s when we "smashed" the ball. swimming was great too; i can't remember the last time i went swimming, and it was even better given the sauna weather we've been having.

today has been completely unproductive, and being introduced to A Very Potter Musical hasn't helped my concentration either. basically it's a fan-made harry potter-based comedy musical that you can find on youtube, and i've been watching it all day while trying to do actual stuff. the worst part is that there's a sequel too, so that's potentially another day burned away :O

ok, i've finally updated the music player to suit what i've been listening to! :D basically it's mostly Sikth and old Metallica, with some new Avenged Sevenfold and a very tiny bit of old Iron Maiden.

and it's time for a random funny picture! :D


for some reason i read the bottom caption with a deadpan i-gave-you-what-you-wanted-now-screw-off tone of voice, and it was hilarious XD

the truce is starting off peaceful, but i'll bet that it'll soon tense up again. frantically preparing for a war that is not yet here, but seems certain to commence soon - almost like a cold war.
