okay, the exams are over, and finally, just like anyone else, i can relax.
before i move on, i'd like to admit something: i used the computer a few days ago, when it was still in the examinations period. not for escapism purposes or to relax or anything, i used it to check my email. i had to, because my jie asked if her friend had emailed me anything about the mjc band practices. so i tried to boot my computer.
God damn, it was as if the computer was as old as me. and even so, i could respond MUCH faster than the stupid mouse, and keyboard. worse still, the web browser lagged. all in all, i guess it took about half an hour for the whole computer to 'warm up', before it could work like before.
and there was no mail from my sister's friend.
it turned out that there would be no band practices till they come back from the japan trip, which would be before the 13th of december. hais.
the examination period could be described as interesting. i can safely say that i can get a score of <15. the papers were fairly easy, and comparable to the prelims. altho, i also can say that i am damn lucky. i could remember what i studied the day before the geog elect paper, and because i couldn't do rivers, i had to do natural vegetation, which was studied the day before the paper. the social studies paper was another case of pure luck. since there was no time for other themes i just studied the principles of good governance, and it actually came out for the exam as a SEQ. with a bit of luck i can actually get a B4 for combined humanities, altho i would be happy with just a pass. that would be the greatest improvement since the starting of last year.
so, after the dratted exams, i went to try out the recreational activity that quite a few of my classmates liked to do: pool. it seemed, the more you play it, the more addictive it seems to get. time flew inside H.O.P. till marcus realised the fee was going to cost a bomb. the rates seemed exponential. so, for two tables, the total cost was around 18 dollars. altho the fee was split among the two of us, plus a bit from esmond and shaun, i had only like, 4 dollars left. hais.
well, prom yesterday night was fun as usual, but i still have one thought in my head. not going to say it here, since gabriel had a share of it, and he evaded it (as usual), but i don't care, we're still friends, and it was most probably an accident.
so, i guess i'd be blogging more actively, since i'm more 'free' now, so they say.
bye for now!
