Where Does Lightning Strike?

Its been a whole week since i last came here and talked rubbish as i so often do. So let me make up for lost time, by bringing this domain of people i.e. my readers up to date.

I shan't go through a list a la last monday, but i shall just briefly cover random points.

Liverpool finally achieved what was deemed impossible by virtue of statistics - they finally manage to win in the EPL following a champion's league match. Watching both the matches i begin to suspect a trend that the EPL is likening to the NorthZone Badminton Scene. Except for the fact that while the NorthZone has 3 powerhouses in SSS, MSS and MSHS, whereas EPL only have Chelsea. and Wigan. lol.

Note: That's the first and probably the last time you'll ever hear me using those initials. i'm not anti-conformist; i just think those initials dont bear the same impact as "haha" or "hurhur".

The North Zone used to be quite easy, if truth be told. Only MSS and MSHS competing for top two spots, leaving the wide assortment of other schools to vye for the third and fourth spot. And the fact that AndSS used to be one of the few 'coached' schools, it did seem relatively easy. But competition has heated up - every tom dick and harry team has a fighting chance. oh well..

But i digress. But where elitism is concerned, there's only Barca (touted by yours truly to clinch the ECLC this year) and Chelsea and maybe AC Milan. The rest, pretenders. Oh yes, maybe Lyon, but i'm not entirely sure.

But if lightning can strike the shortest tree in a forest (a metaphor describing Liverpool's win last year as a highly improbable event), i'm sure it can happen again. riiight.

Now to an event closer to home. Technically since the A levels are being marked way over in British Country, its technically NOT closer to home. But well..

Latest update on A levels.
Although i now realise that I am taking my A levels in 2 days time, I havent come to terms with that fact. I look in anticipation to 25 November, when poor unfortunate me hears the first piece of good news i would hear in the next three weeks - "The exams finished! My, that was fast..."

You know, technically exam period flies by much faster than any normal period, let this be some delight that one can derive from this terrible period. What prompts this Wild statement?

Well, we generally accept it that Time is a cruel thing - it crawls when we dread it to crawl (i.e. when we're anxiously sitting outside waiting for a disabled toilet, walkin' around, grabbin' our you-know-what); and it flies when we dread it to fly (i.e. when we're on a tight budget for time). Exam period is spent EITHER sitting at the accursed seat doing the dastardly paper and counting the dismal marks, OR preparing to do the abovementioned activities.

Both these options involve a serious budget for time - the actual exam itself comes with a deadline, usually X+ 0300hrs where X hrs is the starting time of the paper. (in simple terms, the exam usually lasts 3 hours.) And secondly, in the preparation time, we obviously have to be adequately prepared BEFORE the exam starts - its quite pointless to mug after the exams, right?

so any anti-conformists out there, if you want to do something nobody else would do, just mug after the exams. (and not before them)

OH well, i have to start training myself to wake up early - lately i've been quite nocturnal. not for long. hah..

okay...

Good Luck my comrades-in-arms. Brace yourselves for the briefest period of your lives.. A'levels, O'levels, PW's, etc.

cheers~ n peace

and note, in the light of the upcoming GP exam, i have refrained from initials and the so-called and widely-critiscised "sms-lingo". N so tt u guys out there wont think tt i'm sum neighbourhood sch reject. (note, i intentionally used that abovementioned lingo in the last line.)
