Yop……wow, it’s been quite a long time since I updated my blog huh? Guess it’s another effect from the brain rot that I’ve been suffering from these past few weeks. Seriously dunno what’s been goin on with me these past few weeks, my engine like just ran out of steam. Passing up half-hearted assignments, day dreaming in class, delaying my study time one hour after another…..The daily grind was really getting to me, get up, college, sleep, repeat. In the end, all that culminated into a dramatic climax, when I didn’t study an entire chapter of economics for my internals. Fuh, first time ever I skipped an entire chapter since I entered college la. Memang choi si….b4 I went into the exam hall also lost 10 marks di. Well, even though it’s only internals, and I guess even if I fail also I don’t really give a rat’s ass, but what worried me was that I actually sanggup to skip the chapter and sleep la. I just gave up, all my drive and motivation seemed to have been sucked dry, and the rest was hiding somewhere in the dark ressesses of my ass la. It seemed that I was caught in a downward spiral that was growing bigger and bigger, and I wasn’t even bothered to get out of it. Luckily, the internal exams provided my brain with a small jolt, and the wheels are slowly starting to turn again. Well, losing 10 marks before you step into the exam hall for your best subject leaves a mark on you. So now, I’m trying to get back on track. I’ll have to pull my head out of my ass in classes, and maybe start doing all the assignments that I’ve been putting off. Also, this exam made me realise that my powers were weakening. Study until 2.00am also cannot tahan di. This showed that I had grown too complacent and comfortable, and my evil internal clock started working again without me knowing. I must start moving forward again, must start to pulun di… looks like it’s true that if you’re not moving forward, you’re falling behind.
Okays, now for a recent update on my life. Today went to see "The Maid", quite scary la…but the scares were mostly cheap tricks, still, it’s worth a look, on pirated VCD. Expect to get scared only in the movies though, thanks to their sound system and large screen. Seeing a 20 feet ghost has a bit more effect than when you watch it on celluloid. This past week I’ve been on a non-stop One Tree Hill Season 1 marathon la(thankx for burning for me 44761, now I want season 2 quick….) While on my marathon, I took the opportunity to conduct a little study on "The effects of extreme exposure of teen drama serials on the average dude/dudet."
Subject: 18 year old Chinese male
Series: One Tree Hill, season 1
Longest time of continuos exposure: 15 episodes
Longest time spent watching in a day: 18 episodes
Average length per episode: 45 minutes
Observations:
1) Watching non-stop from morning to late-evening leaves you with the feeling of worthlessness, as you realise that you have been doing nothing productive whatsover since you woke up.
2) Watching the series late into the night, and stopping right before bed disturbs sleep patterns. The worst disruption I experienced was that I still felt the series playing in my head only to wake up and realise that it was only a dream. Cold sweat and "Holy shit, what have I done to myself??" followed the dream.
3) You will pass out if you watch it when you are already farggin tired, like after you’ve just studied law for 3 hours.
4) The urge to watch "just another episode" is stronger than the urge to eat, drink water and take a piss.
5) You suddenly feel that having a webcam in your room is cool.
6) You don’t know why, but you have this big crush on either Chad Michael Murray, James Lafferty, or Hilarie Burton.
7) Chad Michael Murray looks a bit like a drug addict when he does his "brooding" look.
Unexpected side-effects: That damn theme song can’t stop playing in your head. "I don’t wanna be anything other than….NOOOOOOOOOooooooo!!!"
Well, ok, thats all for now. Tomorrow got IELTS speaking test. Later dayz.
