it's kind of funny lately. maybe say, at least once a day, i'll get a totally random bout of sadness. i classify it as random for the very fact that i have no idea what i'm sad about. ok sometimes i know. most of the time no. i can be reading my friend's blog about his life, or what he has been up to and suddenly i find myself falling into the category of sad people.
o well i'm listening to probably my favourite artiste. sadness gone temporarily.
back to school. sigh.

my goodness. i never knew cramps could be so painful. my right quads and hamstring cramped while sprinting during training today. i've never had my leg so pain and immobile before. and now it just feels, weird. adding this to the pain around my shin that i've felt since monday's pe, one could say my right leg is screwed. my left hamstring aches too. my goodness. and now i can't run for a few days. maybe a week? no idea. that's just sad.
well there are so many reasons that one can thank God for. the good results that some of my friends got. most of them are happy, some ecstatic. others satisfied. one or two not too happy but willing to take their score. and others who feel disappointment.
yet ultimately, i don't see why any of this should stop anyone from praising God!
i shall see what happens in school tomorrow.
hopefully i don't stand outside the classroom for not doing any work.
last night and tonight feels like a holiday. i just can't seem to make myself work. be productive.
my right leg bothers me.

it seems that one of the most definitive days of the year has arrived.
with much anticipation from approximately say, at least 35 000 students in Singapore?
this day determines the form of tertiary education one would receive in the next 21 months.
give or take a few months.
in the lives of 16 year olds, some 17,
this marks one of the exciting or dreadful days of their lives, depending on the perspective one decides to take.
the days, weeks of examination boils down to this.
the fruits of the months of labour shall be, hm, harvested?
haha right. bad use of analogy. oops.
well it seems like i have to constantly remind myself that i am after all collecting my results too.
or rather result. for chinese.
o well not really sure what to expect. but it's like a small little concern.
right now i just seem to be bursting with excitement!
anxiety! nervousness! haha
i shall not try to speculate the reasons.
but i daresay it's definitely not because of the results.
may tomorrow be a day that defines the lives of many.
may tomorrow be the day where God will be praised.

you know what?
the time to relax under the tree has come to an end.
now comes the age of empires. i mean the age of studying everyday.
may i continue to have the motivation to do so.
bit by bit i shall slowly retreat into the shell,
marked out with a label "nerd"
and start to stay inside that nice comfy shell to study.
unfortunately for me, i am not blessed with the ability
to pick up academic things easily.
thus i have to work harder than my peers.
which kind of like makes me frustrated.
i read through the notes and i retain about say, 35%?
while others read through the same notes, same number of times (once) and same duration.
or maybe even faster.
the amount of information retained is about 70%?
that makes it twice. going by a simple logic, which might not necessarily be feasible in this case, it results in me having to work twice as hard.
that isn't a very good thing right?
great more sacrifices have to be made now.
something i learnt today.
things i did not manage to learn today but am supposed to know:
stoichoimetry
a lot of other stuff
):

i like jack's mannequin. the songs are quite nice.
the kind i like. not too loud. which is good.
the vocalist's voice is not bad too. at least to my untrained ears.
alright i'm super tired.
tuesday's training made my muscles ache and feel tight.
today's training just killed me.
i'm really super unfit man. slowly slowly. gotta persevere.
i'm just afraid that i'm not pushing myself hard enough.
work is slowly creeping into my life.
good luck sam chan.

orientation ended yesterday evening.
i like sliding during the telematch. really fun.
i guess i had a bit more fun on the last day compared to the previous 2 days.
got half high.
did a lot of random stuff.
however at the end of the day i became sad.
because of reasons i do not want to disclose, except to say it's related to orientation.
now that orientation is over.
all i can say is that i'll miss it.
sorry to the organizers but it's not really because it was super duper fun.
it was really not bad by the way.
but more of because it's going to be the only fun i have during the year
haha then the real school work comes in.
all the stress and pressure to get that average of so and so points.
not cool.
time for bridging course. let's see how things go.
focus on what's right

alright 2 days of orientation camp over.
1 more day left.
bridging course next.
have to really start thinking about subject combination now.
which 3 HL subjects, which 3 SL subjects.
for the time being ignoring EE.
not good.
i have nothing else constructive to blog about.
unless i start to talk about human nature and unfamiliar territory.
or i blog the way i did and talk about what happened today.
a day in the life of sam chan.
and everyone says with great sarcasm, "my my i simply cannot wait to hear all about it".
should anyone even be reading this, have fun!

alright my first post of 2008.
wow. (said with a tinge of sarcasm)
i shall be an idiot and state the obvious.
school starts tomorrow.
surprisingly, some of my peers are excited about tomorrow.
i'm not referring to those stereotypical nerds who live to go to school.
more of normal people like mr and mrs normal.
that is if "normal" can be defined universally.
which in my opinion, cannot. so there.
mr and mrs normal. the ultimate models for normal for they are open to interpretation.
"i'm excited to go back to school because i'm going to a jc!"
- fictional quote by sam chan
that about sums up the main reason why people are anxious, excited to go back to school.
jc life. it's a whole new chapter! it is going to be so much better than secondary school.
alright. lucky them. somehow i feel like i'm going to a secondary school trying to pass off as a jc equivalent. no wonder i'm full of dread to go back.
no matter, i shall just go to school as per normal with no expectations.
that is if i manage to wake up before school starts and be able to reach school without being late.
i must sleep by 12. try to.
