How things turned out and code geass 2

Well, I know I always give some lousy title but believe me, it is hard to find a suitable title to suit the post. I just hate to link cause there are always zero link between anything we do nowadays and why we do it. I got no example, just think about it and there are many cases in everyone's life. I know I always digress. But I couldn't help it. Maybe it's just my writing style. This week is just as tiring but due to the longer weekend, I felt quite well for the first two days, but after the third day, it falls lower than Shawty in "Low". The worrying part is that I don't think it is going to get better. Basically, there had been holes and gaps happening in every subject I take. I wish I could do something about it but there can be really no time for me to do. I am willing but unable. That comes to a point, I may have to wake up earlier next time to catch the train. Somewhat tired of squeezing with others and unable to tolerate the ever changing bus services. They evolve faster than bacteria but they don't follow that guy Darwin's law. It always come too early or too late or "appear" to have come but just never there, a mirage I could say. Never a fixed time. That's why I came up with the conclusion," I would potentially be the top 20 earliest in the school if not for other students and the bus service." This could even be more important than newton's laws in the future. The general rule to not being late. This week ends partially here, what's next to come, I cannot predict but if I say it, it wouldn't be a surprise. And that security who scolded me for not clearing the plate, obviously you haven't know about theCrew and have a IQ of (-X)^(1/2) where X is any real number and not negative.
The good news, Code Geass rocks to the core for now. The twist of fates makes me to think of those good old days. It's never to late to catch code geass. If you haven't watch it, there are major spoilers:
Suzuka betrayed Leblouch and sent him to the Emperor for memory rewriting during the period of the first season. The Emperor got Geass on both eyes. Suzuka become a Knight of the Round. Leblouch having being himself again takes some light work of Britainna forces. Some Kallen fanservice. Rollo appeared to have a geass but not sure what. ( According to a epsiode 3 leak, it seems to be time stop. Whether this is creditable is unknown, and the Code Geass staff have emergency meetings to rewrite the scripts because of the leak.)

Code Geass R2. Welcome back commander.

I don't do these things often, so whoever's reading this should feel honored that he/she can see me blog twice in a day. It's like finding a legendary pokemon outside the grass patch of Pallet town. But Pokemons are nothing compared to Code Geass. The show I anticipated for this season. Now, there would be long queues outside Pizza Hut to support the rebellion. With a good plot, girls which exceed expectations and mecha from the 1980s. What more can you ask for. Yes, Zero's back. And there must destruction before reconstruction. But somehow, I'm a Britannia supporter. They have the better tech, ideology and better genes.(NB:kallen's half britannia)

Summary of this week

Guess what, we had a holiday on Friday to celebrate the good A levels result this year for my school. Although the same can't be said when our batch takes back the A levels. We'll properly make Saturday an extra school day in the curriculum. Anyway that's still relatively "far" away. I missed the movie marathon in school on Thursday night. Don't plan on going anyway, too tired, too lazy and I just don't like Chinese movies. If there's 300 or Sin City or Final Fantasy Advent Children in the next movie marathon, well you can count me in. Besides that, I think there was not really any difference this week. It is notable that I finished 2 lecture tests this week. I don't know why they like to cramp these things, especially before a holiday. And I just realized a dire fact, I don't know how to tie knots. This is the most fundamental and essential skill in Physic practical. But I can spend several minutes doing a simple knot. Physic practical always use the most primitive materials to do the experiments. Well, let's not discuss this as it really brings me a ton of stress and anxiety. With the presidential elections happening all around the world (Kenya, Taiwan(completed),Zimbabwe, the US), it couldn't make sense that my school don't copy and do something similar. Of course, one key trait of the locals in the country I'm in now is that they know too well how to imitate others.(Hell to the yeah for .ISO use then.) Therefore the Student council election was born. I wonder if this is just a political rift to spike up our lives or what. In terms of entertainment, it have some value. But in terms of usefulness and to the success of the school, totally pointless. What's more, it is sapping the school's resources. All this could be potentially used to help the student community by buying the lecture notes and all the miscellaneous stuff which is an economical burden to the school population. When you get hungry and poor students, the school generally don't do well. Politics is such a mystery. There's really no word to describe a political scene. Whenever a candidate comes on stage and gives their empty promises, I wonder if I'm watching a Just for variety(with all the talents), School Idol(all the singing) or Just for gag. With the candidates being the prankster and us being the victim, they'll astonish us with all their gibberish and in the end saying that all this is just a joke. It's not funny actually, but in front of cameras, we've got to smile. Painfully. Well, I guess you can't ask much out of people. After all, we're just humans. We all make mistakes, just that the guy standing at the school gate everyday at 7:30 don't know that. And whoever vows his/her life to provide free lecture notes for our life in school, I'll definitely vote for. Up till now I've seen none. Maybe there would be one, but I always know that that person is joking.

Editor's special weekend report.

This is ground breaking. Me suddenly blogging out of nowhere and during the wrong time. Well, if you all know me well, I always do things with a purpose. If I don't, I'll try making one. Actually, this post is dedicated to Friday. Nothing significant to others out there but it is an interesting day to me. So I'll like to note this day down before I forget or something happens. There's a few parts to it so I'll need time to recall. I''m no Protoss Arbiter.
1) Science Fiesta: It is the science fair. But no, there are no synthetic volcano with baking soda. Mansifield( a classmate and good friend. What's more he knows theCrew which makes his importance and value rise exponentially ), Christian( everyone knows Christian, unless you're living under a box ), Chia Siang( couldn't attend the science fair but build the car! ) and I went for the car glider challenge. It was a hotly contest event. It matters more to people than the North London derby or the Old Firm derby. There were a lot of competitors and by doing the permutations and combinations, our chances of winning anything were slim. But we broke all the criticism and we emerged 3rd. We hoped and anticipated for a prize. But there was only prize for the 1st and 2nd. Totally unorthodox and heretic to the way prizes were given in the course of history. I don't know why, I hope someone could explain this. It's all a deja vu. In my education career, I can only go so close to winning but never winning. "So near yet so far" can explain my life in five words. Just a foot of note, we were supposed to first if the right conditions were met, we retried the car glider and it have the potential to beat the number one hands down. But something like Manchester United against Wolves, we were not fated to win.
2) Due to unforseen consequences, we did not have cca for friday. Thus I embarked on a trip to accompany another bunch of my friends to help them in their photo taking competition. Although at the time of the event, everything look so quite and normal but they were doing a lot to take and get the pictures they need. I think photography teaches people about little details. Sometimes I need to learn photography. The people on this trip were Elliot( theCrew member!!!! w00t! ), Zheng Hui ( Zheng Hui's Zheng Hui. No more no less ), Deborah ( From the same cca. Know a lot of my friends too. ) It is really great to have this type of trips. Einstein said that "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." I agree totally, trips do not need to involve a lot of money or too complicated. Just some simple trips to the park or something, all this leaves a bigger impact and influence on you than any other trips. The destination was Bedok Reservoir. I never liked that place really, anything related to Bedok. But it was good to go somewhere and step out of the comfort zone and meet hostile people and animals. Anyway, I really hope to have more of these next time, just hanging around and doing anything we like. It would help psychologically to just keep our heads refresh and just forget about school and all its rubbish.
These are important events I guess, of course there are more important things, but this are the little details. Yes, maybe I learnt something.

What happens when you stare into space.

I know I placed a weird title, but it is just the feeling when this blog is written. I couldn't get anything much to write about. I won't say what or why but it just feels this way. So this week's report would be something random. Let's start by talking about me, what happened this week. Well, I got good news and some bad news. I know i always say that. The good news is that my project is feasible, that means a lot to continuing the pain and agony of the journey. The only problem is the creative part. All my life I have grown up from a state of education which never teaches creativity. So thinking out of the box is considered a crime. That's not all, but I feel that some of the subjects I took are getting out of hand. Well what's the good news, I really don't know, but that's what a optimistic teaches you, the illusion of value. Anyway, this post is going nowhere, I'm on a tight schedule and I got things to do. Blogging now having becoming insignificant to my lifestyle. Yes, school have taken everything that we value. Today learning point: You don't know what you don't know. Sounds crappy? Actually it is more true than you think. It's ok if you don't get this post or any of the contents this week. You still won't be the first human to fail the Turing test. Rest assure.

A tough week.And it won't get better

This week is tough, I must admit it. Sometimes it is moments like this that makes people morale low. It crushes morale. And I really need more motivation and energy to work on and continue on my life. Let me elaborate more, it was during a linguistic period and I was forced to do a presentation, I went up to do the presentation out of good will and of no other alternative. Well it was going well but the teacher bombarded me and my group with questions. That was not the bad thing, yes I was attacked by all sides but I live to see another day. It was the aftermath (which happened the follow day) that is the bad one. The teacher commented that we wasted one period of her/his(as always I never want to pinpoint people, so this particular individual's gender is covered up, no mean intentions) lesson during the following tutorial. Well, the feeling just sucks. Totally. After putting in your effort into something, be it forced or not, and getting unappreciative comments is not the way to do things.I think the teacher hates me. But nevertheless, thank God that she's not my A level marker. That's the first. Secondly it is my project work. I have yet to come up with a feasible PI. This type of ideas don't come as when you like it. There must be this "spark" which would give you the breakthrough. My current and previous state of education have never taught us to think out of the box. So it exacerbated the problem. Therefore in damage control, I got to research on my PI during the weekend. Another work on the endless mass of homework flowing in.
Worse, I got a big event coming up next Monday, it would be a difficult barrier to overcome, it takes a lot of physical energy and strength. I won't elaborate on that. I need some privacy to myself. On top of that, CCA started, it was quite average for my practice but deep down my heart, I know that it could only get worse and intense. So I won't be so optimistic about that either. There you have it, another weekly report. Try to relax and enjoy the crisis. Yeah maybe I should do that.

The holidays and something new

It really is something we all should learn not to do. Never over exert yourselves. During the 1st day of the holidays, my good old PAE friends and I went to play soccer at the cage. Sure it was fun and adrenaline filled event but after that I had something on, so I couldn't attend the BBQ at one of their houses. It was supposed to be a class outing, but I couldn't attend the whole of it. I felt that I had let them down, as if I abandoned them during times of war. It was like when Rohan was invaded by Easterlings but Gondor could do nothing to help. These chances don't come often and I regret it, maybe for life or at least for years to come. As for the over exerting part, it was painful straight the next day. Fatigue had broken into my body and I was aching mentally and physically. It was a bad experience. My legs were sore and painful, rendering me quite unable to walk. Right now, I'm still regaining my fitness hopefully before the next PE. I hope I can get at least a Sliver for NAFA. It wouldn't be easy, but I'll try my best. Standing board jump was my weakest link. As for why I didn't blog, complaints had flown in on the tag board and I apologize to those who really dedicate some of their time reading this. "Holidays are free and easy days." is a myth. I was caught up and I didn't blog because I had some things to settle. Besides it was hard to think of topics during the holidays. And blogging wasn't my highest priority.
Something new, well, I must say quite a few things are new. There is PW, the dreaded subject which would sap all the time from a student. New tutorials which I had to settle in soon. Worse of all, there is the pace that we're going. Too fast, too furious. Of course when there are bad things, there would be good things. In life, these two comes hand in hand, no more no less. I got a new guitar! For $180, I finally got a decent guitar. A Hofner series, not sure which but it was love at first sight. Thanks theCrew for following me and helping me with the selection. Spending money is the easy part, learning to play, well takes a lot more. I think I can contribute some time in it. Or else life would be even more mandate and boring. And now, my friend and I are creating a new trend, Holicks time. We drink holicks together at a fixed time. Everyday one cup of holicks. Now this is good, unless later research shows that holicks is cancer causing. Which we would return to our Father in heaven earlier.
This week's conclusion: when there is demand there will be supply. This blog won't fall so fast, not yet. At least you wouldn't hear things like " In order to serve you all better, I am discontinuing this blog." For now.
