So it's been awhile huh ^^"

I'm terribly sorry for the 12 day hiatus eheh XD I don't know, blame it on exam stress or lack of sleep (because I feel guilty leaving aircon on overnight), but I couldn't really think of anything worthwhile to blog about hahah. Especially since exams were staring me in the face >_>"

But now that I have alot more free time (ahem still have chinese exam to go but that's ok ^^") I had a think about what I just did. Like, I gave up blog for the sake of some nerding. Was it worth it haha? Don't know, I'm not even sure how many kids read this thing XD Maybe nobody was affected except viv and the fishkeeper(btw whoever you are you are the awesome!!)

Anyway, that sort of got me thinking about the future, where I'm floating towards in life, and I guess what I want to get out of life.



Is it really that bad to not care desperately about grades for instance? By the time we get to year 12, pretty much everybody is studious, true, but we all realise the world is bigger than that damn stupid mistake on the maths exam. Ok yeah so I totally slapped myself when I realised I hadn't subbed in pi after methods 1, but after about a night of hardcore gaming everything was good o.< I mean, in the end, the culmination of our 13 years of education is nothing more than four digits and a dot that at best tell you how much better than other people you are and at worst are a snide reminder about how many more kids beat you =_=. In the end, it doesn't really represent that much does it?

You hear people talking about how nobody cares about your ENTER past VCE. About how the type of person you are, and how hard you work is what really makes you stick out. I totally agree. Sure it'll get you into uni, but by no means does a good ENTER mean you will succeed in life. It's the type of person your education spits you out as that counts. My idea of academia being top of the list sort of disintegrated awhile ago I guess ^^". Life is bigger than books man =].

...Then again I'm totally in love with computer games so I guess I'm being a tad hypocritical =p

So what is important? What kind of life should I be aiming for? Do I want to be some famous scientist (or possibly a failure of a scientist who never discovers anything)? Or will I be happy with lots of money, time and a nice family? Should I just open a stationary chain? Or do I need a magical 99.95 and a PhD to get what I want out of life?

I guess, in the end, all I really want is to be happy. Maybe it's all anybody wants (except CFK...HA). The problem for me is finding what truly makes me happy, and how to get it. I'm not sure I'll ever figure it out, but it'll be fun giving everything a try I bet ^^



Right now, we year 12 kiddies are standing on the edge of an ocean of possibility. At this stage in our lives, we still have the opportunity to achieve anything we want to. No matter what values we hold, or where we want to go with life we have the chance to grab the opportunity to get there! Dream big and kick hard to get where you want =]

Google

The wonderful Internet search engine that brings meaning and cure for boredom. At a certain time in everyone's life, we get a little paranoid. Recently, I was wondering about how someone would view me if they saw my google searches from the last two weeks. So here, to you, my readers, I bear the gritty randomness of my google searches:

Asperger's syndrome
Hell, Michigan
Kitsch
Original 150 pokemon
UAC
winterbells
Starcraft 2
Zerg Protoss Hybrid
time
uvula
what lies beneath
www.imaninja.com
achilles
empire earth
sea cow
sycophantic
creme de menthe
cyclic quadrilateral
malediction
zombie horde 3
Budew
Aibohphobia
Halo 1 assault on the control room
Nevus flammeus nuchae

Hope you enjoyed XD

So i lied

Yes yes I know, it's not after spesh 2 yet...but I decided to recap the two exams today =]

Today, woke up at 6.30, read motivational note I wrote to myself the night before. "Do your best, it's not regretting anything that counts" -> huray for mediocrity! XD

And mediocre it was. English was ahem...not that cool. I wrote about 4 pages 1 paragraph each for text response and language analysis (HOMG HOMOSUPERSAYAIN ^_^) but only about 3 or a little under for context. And alot of it was...incoherent. Yeah, I failed bad >_>" I found it quite saddening that my entire year of striving for awesomeness in this context that I actually liked had to end with such a wet firecracker of a bang =[ But I guess there's not much point worry about it now ^^

Anyway, inspired by viv's blog, I also decided to find a picture that embodied my attitude towards the coming exams.

Gah, right, Spesh Exam. Well, iuno about you other schools, but us MHS kids looked upon this spesh exam as Darth Vader might look upon ...an ewok....from the Death Star. Personally being a relatively average MHS kid, after reading it, I simultaneously realised that the exam was aceable and that it was likely I would make some noobzor mistake and again the elusive 100% would slip through my fingers =="

So I did the stupid exam, and finally managed to convince myself I had a chance of aceing...and then I walked into the happy group of asian kids that I call friends and all hope went out the window =_=. Lost two marks...or three if they don't count consequentials. Cursed negative sign...if only my hand had slipped huh =p

Anyway, that's it from me for now =] Good job everybody ^__^ VCE kids, just think; no more english...EVER!! BWAHAHAA!

"If you give up as soon as the pieces don’t seem to fit, you’ll never get anywhere" - something I learnt from playing Tetris XD

One Down, Eight to go =]

So I had that Chinese oral today that I've been dreading ever since the pro-er Chinese people went through theirs last year =_= Surprised at how many MHS boys do Chinese, never knew there were so many in year 12 haha. Well I guess it went passably, but you never know with these funny emotionless examiners >_>"

In case of you guys are having a little bit of trouble filling your daily procrastination quota…

Ways to procrastinate before exams:
Play piano

Teach somebody how to play Blackjack

Subsequently lose to said pupil in Blackjack

Play Counter Strike. Feel epic for flashbanging like four bots in five minutes

Place a trampoline near the telephone in case people feel the need to bounce while talking.

Do the nut bush on aforementioned trampoline.

Go on facebook

Move every appliance in your kitchen to a new spot. Just because. (Actually the microwave was dominating the preparation area, made the entire space seem closed off from the rest of the room!)

Play “The Space Game” until eyes feel heavy (http://www.candystand.com/play/the-space-game)

Get a blood nose and feel proud that the fragility of your body is likely inversely proportional to how smart you’ve become during this year

Attend a birthday party

Walk in circles reading Chinese notes and looking up words in a Chinese dictionary

Go to Chinese Oral

Read manga

Listen to my music ! ^__^ I bet barely anyone knows theres about 30 songs in the ninja on the left XD

Get stuck behind a tram on a single lane road

Drive on a freeway

Eat grapes

Play Halo 1 – Keyes on Legendary. Complete in under 25 minutes.

Stare at a spider web in the garden for 10 minutes

Tetris

Ponder the meaning of life

Watch Family Guy

Exercise

FINALLY write an invite list for a certain belated event – hows a BBQ? ^__^
--------------------------------------------------
If none of this works for you, maybe it’s time you started studying =] By the way, if you didn’t notice, these are all things I myself have done over the weekend haha.

This is probably last post until after spesh 2. Good luck everybody! Happy nerding! XD Remember, even though it hurts now, it'll be worth it in the end ^^


“If you get up one more time than you fall, you will make it through.”

Fain would we linger...

But certain teachers might not be eager to keep us after this morning (DID YOU SEE THAT HUNGY ! I DID THE TITLE-BLOG THING TOO! ^_^). I'm really going to miss it in about four weeks. I think its kind of sad I feel I'm going to look forward to going to school for exams, just so I can be in the place a few more times ^^"

Last official day today (for anyone who's interested in wagging exams) =] Ran around being a bit of a camwhore, trying to grab as many memories as possible. Made a few, probably lost a few too (little vincent dammit where were you! ;_;). The final assembly was awesome, will put youtube link if I can find one. Anyway I was going to upload a couple photos from today, and try a few more on fb later ^^

Time Flies

So it seems like its only been a little while since I last blogged, but looking at the dates it seems my maximum four days for non-blogging are already over >< So sorry haha

Firstly, christmas is coming and I want a rocket ^__^

In other news, it's last day of school tomorrow and I'm feeling quite nostalgic. It's funny that goodbyes often bring out the best emotions in people =] After tomorrow's rushed two periods of shirt signing, Mr Wood trying to find all the pictures of Muqi in and around his office, and the final assembly, all us kids will be off to our little study hermitages to bring back good results for the school.

Time. I wish there was more of it. Even just now, as I realised the length of time between my blogs I lamented its loss. Those hours I spent not blogging is time I will now never be able to spend with you =[ Isn't it tragic? XD

But really, time is a terrible thing. It always seems to sneak by when things are going good, and when you realise it's there, your fun is ruined (much like some of the shifty kids in dodgeball today, I totally suck at that game ><). It's bit hard to treasure it when, so young, we have so much of it left. Then again, it's a total pain in the butt when you're trying not to fall asleep in class >_>"

I want a timeturner, like in Harry Potter. Someone was telling me that you really can go back in time and change things without destroying the universe, but I was kind of zoned out and didn't really understand. Maybe if I ever get a time machine I will hit myself for not paying as much attention.

I guess in some ways I do want to go back in time. Back to the familiar faces and places in year 7. Just to relive all the things over again. Not to say I wouldn't try to change some of the things hahah, but what can you do? (except build a time machine? XD). I suppose, like I think many are, I'm scared of what the future holds. I want to cling to the familiar, what I'm used to and comfortable with. Can't really say I'm not that kind of person =_=
However I can't go back, and I guess it'll be quite pathetic if I keep trying to live in the past.

So I'll embrace the future with a full tilt rugby tackle. Next post I'll see if I can write down some plans for post exams, so you can all bag me and nag me until I do them ^__^

Anyway, if you cbs reading this post, here is what i bsed in summarised form:
I want a rocket.
I want time.
I hate losing time.
Gimme a timeturner.
Insert indecisive space filler
Steve has spoken =D

Blah and lastly to any MHS boys reading this, thanks, it's been a great three/four years with you guys ^^

"Life goes by once. Don't waste a minute of it."

Blup

It's weird how you feel lazy at the time where hard work counts the most =_=

The tree outside my window really needs to be destroyed. It ruins my view of the park =[

Nerding is taking its toll, droopy eyelids are now the norm. I hope this is worth the trouble =p

Ah well, not long to go! Jia you everyone ^^
