The final block tests I am going to sit for are finally over, and they were probably the one I was most prepared for. Pretty obviously, the results count for nothing really at this point of time, but tests kind of give me that added push to study a bit harder, because I have a preset goal I know I need to acheive and complete within a specific duration. Its approximately 3 weeks away from the Preliminary Examinations and I have not even started my revision. So there is not going to be any let up in the frenzied pace of the last few weeks.
Felt like a piece of shit yesterday when I was travelling home. It doesn't help when one goes a few weeks without exercise then get down to around 3 hours of soccer under the burning sun. It left me entirely drained, with a splitting headache and nauseus. Thankfully I had the miracle drug called Panadol, and 10 hours of sleep to cure all that shit. And I have got to count myself pretty fortunate that I could more or less manage today's Chemistry test, having planned my revision for last night. Bah, any more of these kind of stupid decisions and I am going to screw the A Level examinations and my future as well.
Received this black package in the mail yesterday. Looked pretty weird to me. It was from the Navy, sort of an invitation to find out more about signing on as a Naval Officer. Sometimes when I watch those television commercials about the SAF, somehow you kind of get inspired. When I watch the National Day Parade, I just dream of standing there one day in the smart ceremonial uniform and carrying the sword. Before others bring me back to reality with how much shit and pain they had to endure just to wear their rank. Whether they are a specialist or an officer. And as much as I kind of enjoyed and cherished the time I spent in NPCC, I am definitely much more apprehensive about National Service. Guess I will just have to take it as it comes.
Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.
