"I had a pretty freaky dream yesterday night/this morning. somehow, i had the impression that grading was held at 9:00pm in some remote area in the east. then, i left the house with plenty of time, but saw nobody when i arrived. turns out the actual time was 7:00pm. after stunning for a while, (i think this is when i began to wake up) i remembered that it was scheduled for 2:00pm at chinese high. since everyone else attended, i was thinking about how screwed i was, being the lowest-ranked person in CJC and SJI...and woke up. guess the shock was too much to bear, even in my sleep."
That was from an entry started on friday. i never quite got around to finishing it, but it shows how nervous i was then. now, in retrospect, all that nervousness seems so unnecessary. grading was manageable. not exactly a breeze, but not moving mount everest either. i'm fairly (95%) confident of being promoted. i must say that i got lucky. they tested 2 of my favourite throws, so there was fairly little problem there.
i think i'm down with an illness. not physical, but psychological. the official name is notwantingtogotoschoolitis, or simply, post-holiday blues. one week is really too short. after this, there's another 2 weeks before promos start. looking at it like this really makes life suck. i mean, a week of holiday is one of the best reasons to mug. and yet, i've only done a minimal amount of studying. i need a miracle, and it will most probably have to be self-made.
on the flipside, i got my zen micro!! it's silver and charging now. i don't know if i should give it a name or anything, as some of my friends have done to their audio devices. let's see... if i were to name my micro, i would call it/him...1X10^-6? maybe referring to it as "my mp3 player" would be better, no?
you know, when i went to scout the warehouse on thursday, there were people already queueing for the star buys. at that time, i thought it was natural since the star buys started then. but when i went there today, at 8 in the morning, the queue had about quadrupled in length, and there were a few familiar faces at the start of the line. seems like we'll never be rid of the kiasu spirit. to me, giving up 3 days' worth of time for a $150 discount is simply not worth it. are 24 hours only worth $50? that translates to each second being worth a fraction of a cent, which kind of contradicts the whole "time is invaluable" concept. but oh well. i won't deny that i was tempted to wait overnight as well, but after weighing pros and cons, the conclusion was that waiting would be moronic.
so, off i go to start a new week. with any luck, it'll pass so fast that i won't feel the pain.
