Sidetrack; Confidence.

The exams have begun, and everyone seems to have their heads buried in books already. I myself am not excluded from this category of "mugging". As I busy myself in preparations for the huge battle up ahead, I'd stopped to ponder many times if I had done enough. The question has been lurking from within the deepest depths of my mind, as it always does whenever the deciding examinations draw near. The question as always, will only be answered after the entire battle is over. I rub my palms and flipping through the books, I continued to receive as much as I could from the knowledge provided. Yet, I am unable to remove that knacking feeling that I have not done enough and the concentration is broken for awhile. I tried to rid myself of that feeling of not having done enough, however new feelings surfaced. One of which I could not change. The feeling that I won't have enough time to do enough. It is my fault, for having let myself come to such a state. Initially, I had wanted to study hard enough so that I may enter the examination with a state of confidence. Right now, that particular feeling is dull, and yet my spirit remains strong. I still have the confidence if not in the examination, then in myself that I am able to finish my revision, at least enough for the upcoming war. As I finished thinking about this, I finished the preparation of my books. My arsenal was ready, and it's now time for me to bring in the heavy artillery, my trump cards lay in wait, as my enemies taunt me, they tremble with vigour, as do I, for together, we shall win this war!

Sidetracks; The moon shone brightly, as I made my COMEBACK!

Yes! I am back folks, after a long period of time, of which I spent most fruitfully on my studies. Of course, I wasn't intentionally avoiding the pleasures of the internet, instead, I was denied access to it by a familiar source you may all know as your ISP aka, Internet Service Provider. Anyway, the result was that I was able to focus alittle better on my books, which was a good outcome as well, considering the improvement of memory abillity and concentration. However, this mustn't stop here. The end of year examinations are approaching, and I certainly have some things to prove myself worthy of. I won't be blogging as much as I usually do, due to this fact, and thus, I leave you with the things that had taken place today. The moon was shining brightly, (this was to be expected, it's the frickin' mid-autumn festival), mooncakes were eaten at an extremely fast rate, (trust me, you don't know want to go where I have been in terms of the fast consuming of sticky cake and yolk filled goodness), lanterns burning, (literally, I mean, haven't it come to realization to those damned parents that their three year-old kids wouldn't be able to hold a paper lantern till they find out how to control it? You are wasting paper here! Releasing of carbon dioxide to the air isn't helping global warming either!), and my friends and I were busy dealing with candles by the sandy playground at Zhenghua Park. Yes, we made a nicely shaped heart (Linsay drew it, so you know what to expect), placed it with candles and lit them up. It was a rather pretty sight to see the candles burning, till the wind came along and we could hardly take pictures with "lobangs" here and there in the heart (systiole malfunction). Anyway, we went on to play with the sparklers, being poor, we couldn't afford the noisier ones, so we stuck by the old noise-friendly ones. A group of us began to throw bomb bags at each other, exploding sand beneath our feet. Damn, I got hit, but it hardly felt like a sting... *smirks.* Although Horny D aka Daryl did began to use Andrew's perfume spray to start a bigger bonfire with the candles to try and turn our feet into charcoal... Apparently, nice aromas began to diffuse into the air from the blasts from within Horny's fiery bonfire. So we all gathered to watch Horny blast the candles into nitro, (from 2fast2furious). Max used a sparkler to make a rocket, however, it really didn't manage to take it's maiden voyage, however it did manage to start a few sparks onto the sand though. The take-off was a failure in overall. So in the end, the group began to make shapes out of sand and placing candles in them for decor. We got tired of that after awhile and in the end, we placed an entire bunch of candles together, in a cluster and got Horny D to blast them into super nitro. The end product was amazing, took some amazing videos of the entire blast too. You may consider this as dangerous, but tell that to the kids who were throwing their fired up firestarters into the trees, SERIOUSLY! One of the trees caught fire, but somehow the fire died out, we didn't really bother either. After the fun at the playground, we headed down to my place, where we took our refuge in the clubhouse, before deciding to leave due to an old woman's incessant nagging. ("You all how old already? One wearing uniform, from next door, bing bong bing bong!" - Old Woman That Has Nothing Better To Do But Scold Innocent Teenagers Who Are Just Trying To Take A Break In The GAMES ROOM.) Anyway, we came up to my house for a short while, had a couple of drinks and the trip was over. It was fun to hang out before the exams, it's probably the last one before the mugging begins, so what's left to say, but... LET'S MUG!
The Pictures:


This is the candle-lit shape we made, pretty good eh?

Then the wind blew... and "lobang number one" came along. (refer to the top left.)

Then "lobang number two... followed by "lobang number three..."(spot the holes!)

Not forgetting the DDs! Go Dirty Dudes!

Playing with the sparklers!

Playing with the sparklers!

Hey, what is this?! This sparkler isn't burning as brightly as its brothers and sisters!
LOUSY QUALITY!

The weird sand shapes begin to form... are those what I think they are?!

Cooking a friend's leg, because Jia Hui aka Spiderman got "hungry".

Ready for some nitro action?!

And Daryl does the pyro action! Watch that nitro go!

My eyes couldn't open as wide as usual! Don't ask why, but somehow the wax on my nose was kinda hot and so...yeah...

Our first group picture, with only candles as a source of light for the picture... (how clever...)

Er... Let's play a game I like to call, "Name Who's Who?!"

Me and Max, the rocket maker, and Linsay trying to sneak up behind us...

Time for a cool picture! But Daryl decides to take a picture for Linsay instead! SPOILED!

One picture in the baby pool, before we got caught by the guards...

Well, that's all for this post folks, till the next time which would probably be after the exams, catch you later.
