Promos are finally over.
Damn.. I'm worried I wont make it to J2. I'm so screwed.
GP and H1 Lit was ok.. Then everything went spiralling down. H2 Geography was killer.. I didnt study earlier. Too late for that now. Likewise for H2 Maths. Just like the mid-years, almost half the questions I cant solve... Last minute work = Last minute results I'm just hoping that conclusion isnt true. Hell, I'd better not retain. Seems like reality, but I dont think I'm gonna handle it well if it comes.. or 'when' in comes..
I'm just hoping for minimum a pass in Econs, GP and Lit.. I'd be happy if I at least get a S for my H2 Geog.. Hell! It'd be a miracle if I ever get an S for my H2 Maths..
I had a dream about a week before promos started. It was about retaining in CJC.. Doesn't seem so surprising to a average person right? Sadly, it's these kind of DEJA-VU things in my life that I'm worried about. There's too many times in my life when I actually dreamt or thought of something that could realistically happen, it comes true in the future. That experience happened to me on the bus trip to Far East Plaza for class outing yesterday. It happened again.. Wasn't the same dream about retaining, but it was a series of events that contributed to retaining in CJC. I hate Deja-vu.. seriously sucks. That had better not bloody happen...
Recently read the new issue of Readers' Digest. (Oct 2008) Talked about something that was relevant to me in the section "Are you NORMAL or NUTS?", It goes something like this:
======================================== >> "I dont like talking. (Not true to me.) I'm afraid people will think that what I say is stupid, even when there's absolutely no reason to assume that..."
Response>> "You're not nuts at all, but you seem to suffer from low self-esteem (huh?) and hyper self-consciousness. (WOAH! How true..) This is a form of social anxiety," says psychologist Joshua Coleman, PhD, who practises in California.
Three things for you to consider: 1. Chances are, you don't sound stupid most of the time. (maybe..) 2. Even if you do say something idiotic once in a while, so what? Everyone does. (o rly?) 3. Most people are so self-absorbed (are you sure?), they aren't paying as much attention as you think. "I'll bet your self-awareness and sensitivity to what others think makes you far less stupid and more thoughtful than most other people," Coleman says, "so speak freely!" (That's risky business!)
Easier read than said, right? Coleman strongly suggests you look for a therapist; he or she may recommend anti-anxiety medications. ========================================
WOAH! Hold that thought... Spend money on medication for anti-anxiety pills? Are they even sure such medication existed? I dont want some kinda **** running through my veins that makes me become some *******. Better yet.. Don't you think I'm a bit too young to even VISIT A THERAPIST??? >=( Sheesh..
(Btw Stenphel, here's some good reasons why you should install back these games) Updated my computer games' patches after the exams:
1. SoldierFront now has a Type 89 AR (Assault Rifle) along with some swell-looking gear for the characters. I'm having fun equipping them in Shop. (The beauty of it all!) I've also lowered the graphics level ingame. Now it's so much EASIER to kill other players. Heh! ^ ^"
2. CombatArms has an update to their Black Market. Now there's different version of knifes for melee use (M11, Ninjato and Parang), a P228 pistol that looks like it'll "kick-ass!" and new mercenary characters to purchase for use. (Mei and Deckland. Mei is the first female character ingame and not a bad-looking one too. =P Btw, dont get me mistaken..) 3. Downside to CombatArms, however, is that these stuff can only be purchased by REAL cash (I'm a cheapo! ^ ^") and they arent for permanent use. My own game also keeps causing lag, making it hang ingame so I think there's a problem with the patching. Better to go and redo it again.. Haiz! =(
One last thing to talk about! GO AND WATCH EAGLE EYE IN THEATRES! It's like damn freaking AWESOME! I rate it like 4.5 / 4.8 out of 5 stars! Don't miss it! You'll regret if you do..
Message: "Hello (insert name here). You have now been activated. Your task is to watch Eagle Eye in theatres. You are given 3 days to do so. If you disobey, you will become an enemy of the state..."
