Day One down. GP is over... Oh my I really screwed up paper 2. Seems like paper 2 really stumped alot of people. But looks, exasparated outbursts and blog posts can be decieving and I'll console myself by assuming everyone else managed to do exceedingly well for paper 2 and Im the only jackass who has time mangement problems. Barely manged to scratch out AQ before the final call was given. Its not tough to understand that paper 2, the words they use just make it look complex. I had to keep psyching my self up, saying "this is the fun one" while shaking in my pants. GP is everything, you fail GP, you fail everything.
And for me, anything less than a B is a fail.
Paper one was indefinitely more enjoyable. Surprisingly I did a question Im rather sure only a few people attempted. Qn8, "Technology has improved quality of life" How true is it? I know for one Vanessa (SC Vice-president) and some friend of Shaun Sim's did that too but other than those 2 I heard of no one else. From what I hear seems like I wrote less then most people ZzZ, many boasted a good 5 pages while I had to settle for 4. Dredging points together while not losing focus (at least I THINK I didnt) up to a measly 4 pages. Maybe they left lines or something... I need to console myself.
Tomomrrow is chinese, my goodness, why chinese T.T Just get it over and done with. Then another fun paper. Lit paper 1, everyone is going to be there- just like today. Everyone is a contender, everyone is a combatant in this large melee. I just pray and fight my hardest, hoping I do not leave the stadium in a body bag. Im not a casualty, I wont be a casualty. Fight on, for your reason. What reason? Why do you fight? I dont know. Then why keep fighting? Because I have to. No reason? No reason.
My pen shall be my sword and my knowledge my shield, the marker shall be the strike and the script the parry. And my wit, the fatal blow, with as much strength behind the blade, to pierce the depths of this horror and emerge, alive. Then we stall wait the judges decision on our fate. The thumb of destiny. Thumbs up or thumbs down.
Draw your sword and point them heaven-wards. We shall let the powers above decide who is worthy with our performance. Be rentless, be sharp and be vigilant. One day down, only another 8 days or so to go. May God be with us all.

Makube X
D-Day for operation Promotional Exams, approx 10 hours to 0800 hours 28/07/2006. The day before tomorrow isnt so scary, is it? Well aside from the pumping heart and sweaty palms, thoughts of failure and more specualation about what awaits us tomorrow, everything is fine. Really.
Things were never like this in the past... or were they? Os? Was I this panicky? No, I think in the face of the Os I was alot more panicky. So why now at a higher plane of education the feeling dampens? Shouldnt it intensify as this round of testing approaches?
I can understand how Makubex feels... So pissed off with this life, where you dont know if you are real. You learn everything is controlled by a higher power. You exist because that higher power wills it to. So you decide to prove your existance. You create a device, capable of destroying everything, and you strike a deal with whoever is supposed to be there.
"A Deal! Take us back to the Old days! When the Volts were still here, we had a fabulous time when everyone was together! If that is impossible...I'll return everything to nothingness!"
You hope, that they'll care, you hope, that you'll make a difference. But you are ignored. Dont push the button, if you do, everyone will die, and there will be no chance things will ever go back to the way they were, not even the slightest chance. For all that genius, you lose your way. Hold your ground, believe.
I am Makubex.
Which GetBackers Character Are You?
You are intelligent, capable, and exceptionally talented. You are
dedicated to your work, and rightfully confident in your capabilities.
Be careful about holding any long-term grudges, however, as the
bitter feelings generated by such vendettas can poison your mind
and cloud your judgement. It’s also quite possible that those plans,
no matter how well designed, can blow up in your face.
---------------------------
I knew it all along, although Id prefer very much to be Emishi or Shido, I still know. They way I think, I work, is just like Makubex. We even tried the same trick, difference being I couldn't actually do anything- I just didnt have the resources and power to. Which also means, if I could, I would. This world is infected, the virus has entered the system, we can only purge it, reformatt the system, push the reset button.

Bright Side
2 Days, the countdown gets ever shorter. Covered almost NOTHING today. Feel like jank, exam period is like a roller coaster ride, one moment you're high the next moment you're down and yet all the time you feel sick.

不可思议
More news, Osama MIGHT be dead- again.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/09/23/terror/main2035760.shtml
Anyway, just how amny times must the "Osama is dead" news go around? And all the past few times it was all false. Physically, Osama will have to die one day. but his "spirit" lives on forever, as long as terrorism exists (Or as long as the US thinks Terrorism is an overwhelming problem) Osama lives on in our minds. The perpetrator of 911, the catalyst for this worldwide focus on terrorism.
Promos in 3 days. I have not touched Econs or Lit. I do not have any idea how to study for it.. hmmx. Econs however, I might have a clue, but time is running out even as I speak. Cold War itself has taken me 3 days, wthy the flare? If i studied at this rate like 1 month ago Id be souped up for promos but now? Oh my goodness, I'll be forced to sacrifice one H2 subject to ensure I pass the other 2 and my H1.
Im so bored of History im like randomly surfing the net when I found this really sweet webpage. Guess once in a while, flukes happen and dreams do come true. Story of my life yea? Anyway, go look it up if you want, might warm your heart a little.
http://www.geocities.com/ben_jennie/
Feeling GOOD- not because Promos are in three days and Im not done revising but because its Sunday night, and there's no school tomorrow (although I AM going back to school to practice muggeristic muggerism) So going to die in promos. Can promote, but I dont think i'll be able to compete. Covering econs with Paula tomorrow... what else am I missing? Oh yes, Lit ZzZ.

SPD
Everyone who passes through the SRJC should pick up "Miss Remarkable and her Career". Thats is so exactly me, oh my gosh- well not 100% but that book is like my life story through my eyes. Beautiful piece of work.
You know what? I think Faust is SPD! No, not Space Patrol Delta (watch too much power rangers will become like that). SPD stands for Schizoid Personality Disorder. Oh my! Sounds so serious and dangerous. Nah, it isnt.
A mnemonic that can be used to remember the criteria for schizoid personality disorder is SOLITARY.
S – shows emotional coldness
O – omits close relationships
L – lacks close friends or confidants
I – involved in solitary activities
T – takes pleasure in few activities
A – appears indifferent to praise or criticism
R – restricted interest in sexual experiences
Y – yanks himself or herself from social relationships
Oh my, now it sounds even MORE serious than I thought. but wait-
"SPD is believed by some to correlate with the INTJ and INFJ personality types in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). SPD is far more common among males than among females, although this could be due in part to the fact that schizoid symptoms are far less socially acceptable in women."
Its normal see? More normal than you think anyway- INFJs are awesome people. Dont take my word for it, try it! Oh wait, here's more-
"While people who have SPD can also suffer from clinical depression, this is certainly not always the case. Unlike depressed people, persons with SPD generally do not consider themselves inferior to others, although they will probably recognise that they are different."
Im like so not depressed or I wouldnt be doing all this jank? Ha-
"Treatment is usually not necessary, and people with this personality type don't really care if they are seen as having a mental disorder, so they generally do not seek psychological treatment, except when they are compelled to enter therapy to solve another problem, such as an addiction. They may benefit from social skills training, although it can be argued that an improvement in social skills does not address the personality disorder itself."
No treatment necessay, the best part of all. Its normal man, all normal. But for now, we must suppress Faust with the Category Ace. Faust must never appear in school, or else where. He is caged, he is sealed by the Ace of Clubs. Now then, where is Mr Loh? Oh yes, he is lost amongst the sea of woes surrounding Promos. Sad stuff, sad guy.
Here's Faust, signing off.
