It's the last day of school today. End of high school life. Still have the endeavours of O Level Higher Chinese though, but it's just an extension. Emotions are there of course, it's only human... It's the closing of an end, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for a new beginning. I still have a few months to prepare myself though, hope I will not fade into nothingness because of boredom first. Friends, please help me... and I'll gladly help you back. Let's keep in contact, or at least try to. I'll appreciate it a lot. I'll do my part too.
Endings always bring nostalgia... and sadness... when one looks back at the tumultuous past. No one's past is a smooth plain without obstacles. Everyone has a life of all flavours. When one reflects, one smiles at his achievements (not only the academic ones, the social ones and others too) and regrets his many mistakes made. It's only human to make mistakes, every one can be forgiven, unless, of course, it's done on purpose repeatedly.
The Chinese comprehensions are certainly influential... they're meant to be, I guess, so my Chinese teacher is rather successful. She's one of the best teachers I've had so far, at least I do not fall asleep during her class. The recent surge of comprehensions made their impact... as I have nothing else to do. D=
But then again, on a lighter note, let us all congratulate ourselves and each other on surviving and having tide through another year of school. =)

Backtrack
Ok, let me try to rmb significant events that happened from 2 posts back to this recent one.
1st major event: Passing Out Parade 2009
Parade for fainting =D
Basically 2 different mindsets ppl have
Can be generalised to an acronym: ASAP
a) There are ppl who wanna get out as soon as possible, as NP is a torture and a liability.
They dun enjoy it at all... understandable, it's not exactly that appealing if u cannot contribute much and still continue having the horrific memories of being tekaned. I was once as well... thought training was like... concentration torture camp & dreaded every of it (partly 'cause my physique cmi also)
b) Another group of ppl wanna get out of NP as slowly as possible... They miss all that are in it, the cadets, the trainings, the meaningful ATRs, the list may be never-ending. Again i can feel 4 them... they have contributed their heart and soul into the unit, have experienced 酸甜苦辣 with the operations... it's hard to say goodbye and leave it... the emotional pain is immense. Thus, some ppl choose to come back as CIs, hopefully not as dictatorial devils.
Up to u to decide which realm i belong in more, did not really know my position anyway... if u know me well enuff, or can read me v easily... u will b able to know. =P Will miss a few practices though... (not going to say explicitly what those are..., but note the word used) it's up to u to imagine.
2nd major event: Unit Camp 2009 (i'm not following the timelines, btw)
Not part of the organising team to those who dunno. Went there to offer my services as usual... dunno where the motivation to keep helping (or try to, at least) comes from...
It's the same as the 1 y i keep coming 4 the trainings... so dun ask me y... Commitment or what? It's up to u to decide.
It was an enjoyable experience, maybe except 4 the unexpected fires... and some minor hiccups here and there...
It's good socialising and fun. =D
Kudos to the organising team 4 the event and thanks to all who bothered to talk to me.
P.S. The solo nites werent scary at all... even when i ventured alone. The last day was really interesting and enjoyable though.
3rd major event: iSpark Nite 2009
This event was recent, in fact 2 days ago only. B4 the buffet, i had a hell good time talking with my consortium mates... reminiscing the past (oh, the good old times... lmao), enjoying the present and discussing the future... Didnt enjoy myself 4 v long already... that was Xtremely meaningful. Devoted some time in looking around too... spotted some interesting things to note.
The performances were really good, except 4 the blasting sound waves from the electric guitars. Those went through almost unbearably thru my body.
Will miss the consortium... CSE separated batchmates... I guess u gain some, u lose some... U get to know more ppl from other consorts, make new friends, have a slightly enhances curriculum, but u lose that sense of belonging among other things... Life's fair, i guess, in some ways.
End of super long post, thanks 4 bearing with my rambling. =S

Back to blogging ._.
It feels like a millenium since i last posted.
Eugene kinda reminded me...
Nearly forgot my email and password...
Oh well, here I am =D.
Shld go YAY 'cause exams are over...
But now I'm rotting 'cause i've absolutely nth to do.
Super sian...
DotA also getting sian...
When Prophet even gets too ownage...
Pokemon... getting extremely lame...
Left4dead quite fun sia :)
Plants VS Zombies... no chance to play (havent even dl)
Enough of lamenting...
Back to some reflections =X
Got some new friends
Became more open (to ppl which i know, so that's where the limit is :S)
Includes using vulgarities and profanities
Mostly random comments
Friends are good
Encouragement..., fun... list will nvr end
Trouble is... i nid to confirm some friends... esp. those whom i dun see physically frequently... :X
I'm not so trustworthy
Or others say just not confident of myself
Another 1 of my many weaknesses...
Made an improvement in communications
Quantum leap even
Have to thank a lot of ppl... my class... & even my juniors (more for the skills of niaoing, oh thank you)
Got to be satisfied, for now, at least
Exam period...
STOP saying I'm a mugger.
I'm not 1, srsly...
Some closer friends believe me, that shld b enuff.
What matters in getting ok grades is:
1) Listening in class
2) Remembering what u listened (this is v impt)
3) Doing all the WS that the teachers give YOURSELF
4) Clarify all doubts (kiang tio hou, mai gey kiang)
With last-minute mugging, it shld be able to satisfy ur aims in grades
& playing in exam periods... (like mousehunt, DotA, etc...)
But, still it's always better not to take chances!
Dun leave everything to fate... and luck :P
Lastly, thanks to all who bother reading... haha
Shall add new functions soon, just dunno how soon...
As soon as i figure out... which to an IT idiot is v difficult
