SEMI-HIATUS TILL NOVEMBER 2011
Well, it's O Level year i.e. Doom and Gloom Year for all us sec fours. Honestly, it didn't really hit me till today, when there were two extreme ends of the spectrum - those that are busy rejoicing and poppin bottles in the ice and those that are (pardon me, I don't mean to sound condescending) unleashing primal screams in the toilet.
Point is, for obvious reasons, I'd like to avoid majorly screw up an exam that may very well decide my future unnecessary disappointment. Yes, this means SIX POINTS FOR L1R5 (to the future me who is probably rereading this post - I know myself well enough) and B3 FOR CHINESE (This is completely ridiculous, judging by my current language proficiency getting this grade would just be impossible) because it seems that apparently if I fail to achieve this I'd be reduced to a measly beggar on the streets (implicit statement by my mom during yet another of her pep talks) I have to GET INTO VJC. (I'm sorry to the three other readers of this LJ, I'm assuming that my future self would be too knocked out by studying to read the small tiny text, therefore I'm doing myself a service by making my three main goals so excruciatingly big)
Therefore, to achieve this goal, I need to
1. Get my ass off twitter
2. Avoid getting addicted to my new tumblr, which I am well on my way to, regardless. (which by the way, I update on a near daily basis - Sorry LJ, but you just can't beat the wonders of endless scrolling through your dashboard)
3. (Perhaps the most important of them all, which would help me achieve points 1. and 2.) Use the computer for less than half an hour a day on weekdays, if not using for any academic related matters, and on weekends, for less than an hour.
I do realise how suicidal this is (social networking sites being my life) but this is a sacrifice I have to make. I cannot afford to screw this up. In fact, I cannot just survive this year. I NEED TO DO WELL IN IT (once again, for various reasons , some that I'd rather not bring up, so I'd like to believe that it's self-benefiting and I suppose somehow linked to better self-esteem yes this is also probably the reason why my SS is a C5)
As for my fandom. Well, I don't see myself abandoning K-Pop or denouncing it as some of my friends have begun to do (Main reason: I LOVE MY FANDOM TO MUCH) but once again I'm going to have to sacrifice something. Therefore, Rule #4, I will avoid stalking/seeing idols irl till end November, after Suju. Yes, it is a sort of strange ruling, but seeing as how I can still see Onew's wondrous golden-brown locks swishing as he turns round the corner in front of me, even the very sight of them could potential distract me for months. Suju is the only exception, seeing as how I'd like a sense of closure with regard to them. MARINA BAY SANDS, I HATE YOU
In short, adios, life (or my pathetic excuse for it), it's time to hit the books.
