I come here to resurrect the blog. It certainly is inadequate to be posting once a month just so I do not miss a month, and to make things far worse, the posts are barely worth more than a second's interest. Well now, this post will be a proper one, reminiscent of the glorious days of this blog when there was always a deluge of updates. Unfortuantely, ever since last year, there has scarcely been any real effort to blog as zealously and loyally. I am certain anyone can easily point out the reason. The grim and tenebrous news, though, is that this looks set to be the status quo, for upon engaging in profound meditation and critical analysis of thoughts, I have come to the conclusion that it would be difficult to continue. Have I lost my magic touch?

I cannot let this happen, though. It would be a great letdown. I must continue, and I most certainly will!

Life right now. Hmm. How should I begin?

To think that only months ago, everything was about the O levels. The O levels seemed to be the end in itself - what lay behind it did not matter at all, last year. All the worrying about JC was postponed to a later date - and it kept getting postponed again and again. The initial period of adjusting was terribly difficult - though not completely unsurmountable. The fact that I could see the clock tower right from the 6th floor was a constant reminder that things have not changed that much, after all. Pass through all the familiar places, as I have for the past 4 years. By distancing and postponing all thoughts about the future, I could then focus on the task at hand.

Now that time is gone, and to my amazement it is already week 5 in term 2. Oh, well.

Everything is good and ok so far. But really, I am still regretting foresaking Higher Chinese last year. Now I have to face this for an extended period of time...

Project Work.. I think I am most lucky to be grouped with people I think and predict I can work with. Not that there is anyone in my class who seems to be someone impossible to work with, from the experience so far everyone in class is good. However, I do foresee some possible misunderstandings in the future, but that will inevitably happen to everyone. Too bad.

Lastly, my badminton addiction. I say addiction because I think I really am addicted to it. I cannot get enough, I just want more! I think it will go away by itself though. In any case there is always a "silver lining" in every cloud right. My love of the game has led me to attempt to become the Captain of the recre badminton CCA. It is simply unprecedented, it is a complete turnaround from the past, I am actually going to try to become a captain of a cca. Wow. I am so proud. Hahahahahaha. Of course the battle is still ongoing and I will have to face obstacles in the form of some people who will attempt to become captain too. My rise to the captain will not be a smooth one, or it may not even occur at all, due to the so-called democratic process of "voting" by students. Obviously this becomes nothing more than a mere popularity contest entrenched in the deepest levels of corruption and un-meritocracy. Luckily, it seems that everyone is fragmented and disunited, so it is unlikely that any one group will prevail. Now how shall I go about making that speech, and what am I going to say, hmm? As much as I would like to emulate the brilliant orator Hitler, I am certainly not cut out to make good speeches, and I can never compare myself to the Fuhrer in any way because that is an impossible task, to even try to copy him will result in immediate failure because I just lack the ability. Hahaha.

Speaking of Hitler, yes, I admire him very much. While not the sole role model I think that in my current situation, a lot can be learned from him. What is needed now is strong will, determination, treating every day as a battle and that life is an eternal struggle, and that I must vanquish my enemies. While in my context or in fact in any current-day person's context, one's "enemies" do not mean Jews like in Hitler's case, but rather, anything which hampers you from reaching your goals.

I will update at the next possible opportunity, when I have the motivation to write. Ah.
