And how did I remember? Adeeb looked me in the eye today and said with a straight face,
"Hey Seetoh, update your blog or else I will castrate you."
That threat made it hard for me to refuse, even thought it was just a joke(I think, cant be sure with Adeeb). Hence, I am back in front of my Mac, Musing(the band, not the action) and typing all this out. For those who still persist in calling me a mugger, think again. Nowadays, I actually pick out the homework that I want to do. And leave the rest after the deadline. Procrastination. That might be because I had picked up my old bookworm habit, and am now swallowing CJC's library books whole. And that habit lives together with procrastination. There are plenty of computer addicts but little book addicts.
Find me one person who excrete in the toilet and read a book at the same time. Some do that, but does anyone ever read a book while taking taking a piss? Weird if you are a girl but at least you will be behind closed doors. Guys take part in communal peeing-next to everyone else in the open and into the urinal. This means stares and sniggers for me.
Thanks goodness I quit that habit when I was Secondary One, after one male teacher castigate me for doing just that. All I can say is that was the most awkward reprimand I have ever received(probably wasnt easy for him too).
And when I read while I walk, I can reach the location I was going without knowing which path I took. My best friend liken it to auto-pilot.
And of course, Portal 2 came out. To non-gamers, you definitely do not know what you are missing. I was busy playing Portal again to ready myself for the sequel. It's like Harry Potter; you read the last book to remember and re-immerse oneself into the plot.
Movie: I rewatched Children of Men. Poignant tale of a dystopian society set in a world where the women were infertile through unknown causes. R21 though. o.0 Like it would have stopped me. For anyone who want to watch the movie, here.
The tests. Hrrrhm. I either studied the wrong topics or wrote the tests in my homework diary...on the wrong day. I need to buck up for the Mid-years. Weirdly, my strongest subject currently is Chinese where I got a distinction for my CA. >.< My weak foundation in Additional Mathematics(A2) wreak havoc on my Maths tests. Barely scrapped a distinction. And let us not talk about the science tests I took.
I made my days busier too, by being in the Chinese Fortnight Organising team AND the Singapore Mathematical Olympiad Open Category training on Saturday. A three hours session of JC1 AND JC2 mathematics that would make one's head spin.
At least I got that Monday to look forward to. Oh wait, that's our deadline for our GPP. >.<
To top it all, I got a Bronze for my NAPFA. Because of 1 cm. That's right, I got silver because I jumped 215cm instead of 216cm(criteria for Silver). ****.
2.4km: 12min 31sec
Sit-Ups: 43
Pull-Ups: 3(hey, I am skinny)
Shuttle-run: 9.6s (kinda slow, ran a 9.3 last year)
Sit-and-Reach: 43cm
Standing Broad Jump: 215cm
I am not really disappointed though, since I am in Debate and not in a Sports CCA. Plus, I have a knee injury that need 2 weeks rest. I(obviously) ignored the instructions and did my NAPFA after 5 days abstaining of all physical activity. And hey, I am 16. Younger than all of you. So there.
I will probably retake it next week.
I love my life(I dun even know whether I am sarcastic anymore).

OMG HIGH FIVE WE SUCK. i got bronze too, also missed by 1cm, but it's sit-and-reach.. 35cm, one more cm to D/silver... =..=
and i fell on my ass the first time i jumped, then the second time was better.. need new shoes.
your sec 1 teacher is real weird. even if you do read while taking a piss, how does that warrant a lecture? is it really detrimental to your morals and well being?
Good that you're spending your hours reading instead of finishing up countless shitty assignments. Keep it that way.
P.S. I realize I'm not exactly the best in giving constructive feedback. You might wanna stay away from me for a while...
If you wanna salvage your grades that is...
Just saying. Thought someone wanted to top the cohort, that's all...
@Jia Hao: LOL! *high five* I swear, they purposely make NAPFA overtly hard for us. How's your 2.4km? I recall that was your Achilles' heel. Mine Sit and reach was 30cm last year, mate. It's just that I started trying to touch my toes nude in the shower a month earlier.
@kdy: I guess he is weird. The problematic thing was I was weirder. Might be because peeing in the toilet showed deviation from social norms. Still...if I could turn back the time, I would have peed on him or something. Heh.
Weird14552: I do want to top the class, or at the very least top 2. Topping the cohort? It would take so much effort- not to even mention that fact that someone else would pipe me at it. There is definitely someone who work as hard as Zheng Liang/Daryl YET is smart. The thing is hard work requires lot of determination I dun have. I will try studying harder for the Mid-Years though. Relax, my friend- we still got a Distinction for Maths without studying.
Don't pin your hopes too high, Seetoh. I dreamed that I got 6 pts for O levels, but I got 9. Then, I was depressed for over a month, if you didn't realise. So,I am now beginning to realise that academics is not all that make up my life. You have to learn how to relax and enjoy life.
