Exactly 6 months to ORD
It's 2:10am, I am just back from my almost-a-routine la kopi session with Weijie. I don't feel like sleeping yet, so here I am penning down some thoughts. To explain this drastic blogskin change, I had wanted a change all along, and now is just the right time; after Nigel had pirated my 'nice' ex-skin from my blog. I don't really like this new skin as well... I prefer the old style where everything is on a page. The text size are too small to my liking; the colour combination though nice are 'too rude' for reading; and definitely, it is a hassle to click to get between pages. Ultimately I still chose this skin because I like the picture that comes with it - L. Okay, I like his character; interesting(funny); cool; and smart. But please, I am not gay. I do like girls.
I took the SAT reasoning test some days ago, and to be honest, I was more afraid after the test than I was before it. I wasn't expecting any miracles and definitely not concern about the results or entering SMU, but I didn't expect I would have problems getting a pass either! I registered merely to, in Junyu's words "test" myself. I had thought "Surely I stand some chance in an IQ test?". And the initial preparations does look so. I attempted the questions on the preparation booklet they provided, I was cruising. I even beat Weizhi in the English section. (Weizhi's English was suppose to be better than mine) I only had problem with a couple of questions in the Maths section, otherwise it was okay. And the problems aren't really problems; they were just Sec 4 Maths that I have forgotten. Okay May God punish the ignorant fool who belittles the test that once determine whom qualifies for a place in NUS/NTU. The test I took on the actual day was much much much more difficult than, even-the SAT "10-year-series" Junyu had bought. If the sample questions I had done are Sec 4 standard, then the actual test is distinction in A' level English-standard. But well, I have nothing to lose. I remember I have this strange familiar feeling while attempting the test. The exact feeling of utter helplessness when I stare at Maths question and my mind is in a blank. It was only then(during the test) that I understand and remember why I sometimes fail to perform despite having "studied" for Maths tests. How can I forget the basic rule to good Mathematics? Regular practice. I should have done more than just last-day practice.
I have more, and more, and tonnes more to blog about. But I am sure nobody likes to read a super long entry that centers around a few boring topics. I shall leave them for another day. But if you are curious, I shall let you in on them. I want to blog about my punterology, compose a song for my punterology(I know I am lame), MLM(I think I have said before I want to do 1 on this), myself-the good and bad about me, my dreams and my take on life; provided I can overcome my laziness.
