time flies, whether you’re having fun or not

tis’ a fact of life.

I just spent the weekend travelling back and forth M’sia, consuming 1.5 books in the process [Busting Vegas and Prison Diaries I (half-completed)] while completing close to absolute zero of real work done. Procrastination’s reaaaalllly got to me. Crap, at this rate promos will be over before I even start studying.

What’s more, it’s not promos I’m worried about, it’s that all familiar two alphabets that probably appear on the facebook statuses of JC students more than anything else.

PWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPW. :/

kwanki told me to enjoy the process. Enjoy I should, but the question is how does one enjoy rushing through drafts and drafts of reports and explanations without feeling bored and crappy? I guess the answer lies in being a true workaholic, one who does not only derive pleasure from completing work but somehow, enjoys being rushed and stressed and having those brain cells overworked and fried.

Fortunately, or unfortunately perhaps, I’m not such a being. Yet anyway.

So I think I better start working on that Chapter 1 and 2 draft, because time flies, whether I’m having fun or not.

bored, moody, unproductive

I miss the nights of total procrastination…

…and so I just slacked my whole day away today. omg.
Please tell me I won’t regret this. I have 1001 things to remember to do tomorrow and I better get it done.

I’m sitting here in the boring room
It’s really just a lazy Sunday afternoon
Other than PW
I’ve got nothing to do
I’m stoning around
Maybe go to Youtube
But nothing ever happens
And I wonder…

I’m not sure I need a break

what I need is a drive to just mug, work and chiong my ass off. all while enjoying the little joys of school life that seem to have been lost in the blurry hurry for stuff to do, events to organise, awards to pursue. being kept busy is a good thing, apparently.

old school?

edit: how do I embed videos?

Fine. Maybe I wasn’t going to sleep just yet. random comix ftw.

untitled

For some reason, untitled always makes me think about Paint. Yeah, the ancient rusty ol’ drawing board that was with Windows for as long as I can remember. It was probably cause I didn’t know what ‘untitled’ meant.

Come on, there’s gotta be some of you who had nothing better to do and started drawing random scribbles and sprays with Paint, and then wondered what in the world did ‘untitled’ mean.

My mind’s an empty canvas now, thanks to the viral infection I got. Days of lying in bed and doing absolutely nothing isn’t really that bad now that I think of it — I was asleep most of the time anyway. Somehow these days seemed to have slipped away; I’m quite surprised that there’s a compre plus math assignment tomorrow. I’m not even sure what happened last week.

There’s a lot going on right now. I need to focus, dammit. fo-cus. The fever came at the right time, it did :/

On the more mundane side of things, I read up on Roald Dahl on wiki and realised that woah, so many familiar stories were written by him. Like James and the Giant Peach, for example. There are spooky ones too, like Lamb to the Slaughter, creepy..

..and I’m sleepy. Gotta run!

Impulse

Impulse n. a sudden, involuntary inclination prompting to action

I realise that I do stuff on impulse very often. It’s a character thing really, I’m just not one to think before I act I guess.

Like how I’m very easily swayed to go out and eat when I’m not really hungry or going broke. Like how I can agree to hang out and stuff even when I know my work’s piling up. Actually, when I think about it, it doesn’t really make sense why I’m so impulsive, but I just am.

The bad thing about it is that I really don’t think of the consequences until I come face-to-face with them. Like, erm, now; I don’t really have school pants to wear to school tomorrow.

Still, I try my best to get myself out of the sticky situation, although it’s usually too late anyway. Unlike some other stuff, being impulsive is something reaaallyy hard to change. Heck, look at the definition, it’s an involuntary inclination to take action.

Some people out there can probably understand what it’s like to just jump into something because you feel like it. The consequences can be nasty. And the worst thing is you have only yourself to blame. It sucks doesn’t it when you have no one else to shove the responsibility to.

Nonetheless, impulse may have its benefits. Who knows maybe after years of doing stuff on impulse I attain this seventh sense.

Like what I watched in HP-HBP today:

Harry: I’ve got to go to Hagrid’s!

Hermione: But you’re supposed to go look for Professor Slughorn, we have a plan to follow! (or sth like that)

Harry: I don’t know, I just think that Hagrid’s is the right place to go to, ok?

(the movie wasn’t exactly fantastic anyway)

Now that is the seventh sense.

Hello world!

I’m blogging again!

I remember telling a few people I blog when I’m bored. Yeah, kinda describes what I’m in now. It’s like being stuck in a limbo. Stuck between post-blocks, pre-promos and lots of other random stuff.

Wanting to do work but always not doing it. It’s called procrastination, I’ve heard. The ‘there’s always tomorrow’ mindset. Quite apt.

Somehow I’m feeling like I’m being pulled in different directions altogether at once. I want to stay in one piece k (oh, this week’s One Piece is nice lol). Missing the previous month when the only thing on my mind was walking (in the mountains) and studying. Guess I can’t multitask can I?

Talking about trekking, I want to go into the mountains again. The escapism is just so.. rewarding la. Surreal. Lush. Amazing. (not forgetting wet, leechy, muddy, but apart from that its great) Why are there only two years in JC.

Seeing a lot of people getting stressed over blocks results. Work hard for promos yah, I can help(:

Among other random stuff, I just took a four hour nap. Sleepy these days.

Gonna watch HP-HBP this Sunday. Should be good, based on the reviews. I can’t wait, it’s been so long since I read/watched anything Harry Potter. Did I mention I loved the series (minus lousy ending)?

Just hope that everything sorts itself out by the end of the month. I need a neater life.

Random question: If : is a semi-colon, what’s ; called?
