Physical Update

Physical update does not mean update on physical fitness. I have always flunked in napfa, and will most probably continue this trend for my JC life. Anyway, even if I fail in J2 (or get bronze, which is equally useless), it just implies that I have to enlist for NS 3 months earlier than the others. 3 full months to make up for 18 years of slacking and passiveness. Come to think of it, to cheer myself up (to prepare for the worst if it comes...), it is rather worth it. Enough of lamenting on my poor physical fitness. This isn't the main point. I digressed right from the start, which proves that my GP has much to be desired... My 1st compre got 8.5/20, which is actually 3rd place in my CT... Only Bing Lin passed with 10.5. Oh well, some of my classmates were openly amusing themselves with the single digit marks, including those who got 1 mark and below. It is rather entertaining as we laugh at our own miserable plight... but to be serious, it isn't funny at all. =(

I actually provided myself a link to this paragraph. I appluad myself for that subconscious effort. Physical update is an update on my physical well being. Here I am rather free (as I'm procrastinating and not doing work) sitting at a school computer in the JC library on the 4th floor typing a blog post. At least I rejuvenated my blog... though staring at the computer will not help me stay awake in chemistry olympiad training later. The syllabi are extremely mind gruelling and the lessons moving at an insane pace (1 topic per weekly session of 2 hours). Sleeping at 12am doesn't work for JC already, unlike in high school, as the weekdays are longer and one needs more energy to stay awake. The quality and quantity of homework also increase, albeit the number of subjects decreasing (I admire the triple science class, really, I wonder how they can stand the demands of all the subjects.). There isn't much time for me to slack around and enjoy the feeling of doing nothing. Almost every minute of the night I'll have tutorials displayed in front of me for me to kill my brain cells with them. In the afternoons I'm free, I usually play DotA to relieve stress. Therefore, I am relatively nonchalant to the loads of homework... as my CCA only has occasional sessions to attend only. My goal for this week is to push my sleeping time (or at least logging off my laptop time) forward to 11:30pm. If I am listless, I am unethusiastic in interaction with friends and often ignore acquaintances when they pass by. Applied for a new CCA just last week, I do not know when it can be confirmed. I just want to make myself useful (hopefully not a nuisance or just a flower vase [problem is I'm not good-looking too]) and enrich myself with more experience using the time of my youth. After all life is relatively short. Must make good use of every stage of life, I do not want to live on with regrets.


Despite it being ardous, let the learning journey and self discovery continue. =D

Shall update on the mental well-being later on in the night. Yes, I will be ignoring my homework, however, it is always good to reflect now and then. =)
