oh my more than a month since the last post. by reckless guesstimation I'm going to say that was done 5 weeks ago. so just before the start of week 4. wow that seems ages ago. this is incredibly rambly and terrible.
well, besides the fact that barely any work got done this weekend (which so happens to be the weekend before my most killer school week to date), I must say it has been the best weekend since school started! with the possible exception of the f1 weekend.
yes I was presented with the fortuitous opportunity to purchase an F1 ticket on race day on the day itself, which I jumped upon! and thoroughly enjoyed myself despite being alone (hang on, since when was being alone ever a barrier to enjoyment?). the adrenaline-inducing roar of the cars, the race itself, the close proximity and excellent perspective of the fireworks, and then watching katy perry's concert, albeit from a far distance. but yes it was fun! guess it didn't hurt that it so happened to be the weekend before recess week! just wanted to mention this weekend before it gets forgotten.
back to this weekend. first competition down. for my standards, decent timings I suppose. at least it felt like I gave it quite my all in the end and I suppose that's my main reason for being happy. it would truly suck if you were left with "what ifs" and the feeling that you could have done something more. totally robs you of any contentment or satisfaction, regardless of the results as stellar as they may be. dinner at some dimsum place (swee choon) which I have never been to was an amazing experience, to say the least. it's in that kind of group, that kind of feeling and with that kind of food that makes one believe in that "everything falling into place nicely" phenomenon.
as mentioned earlier, this coming week is kind of the closest to school-hell I have been since years ago. compared to others it probably isn't much haha but for someone like me, it is! my excruciatingly slow work-rate, incredibly short attention span, and my lack of intellect and ability to process information means I should start things way before the deadlines. and yet my amazing ability to procrastinate (it really never ceases to astound me) just keeps rearing its ugly end. my very writing here is testament to that. quite ridiculous la really what the.
I shall just keep telling myself to freaking chiong this week. I have to. I must. there cannot be an alternative. and try my utmost best to stay focused. something I have been struggling so much with lately.
this week became a timely reminder. day after day, week after week, I make the same mistake.
not by my strength, but by God's alone.

allegedly this is my thousandth post. wahoo! a boring collection of rambling thoughts lasting close to 8 years now.
