my sister was invited to lunch at putrajaya with the PM...

...and me? stuck at home, trying to study, wasting time on9 n sleeping my youth away. my sis was one of the 150 (or 130...dunno which) spm high scorers who were invited to putrajaya for a luncheon with the Big Man...n they were all presented this crystal (plastic?) souvenir/plaque/watever. somehow, all this made me feel more than a little regret that i had not studied harder during my spm days...after all, if someone in my family can do it, there's no reason y i cannot achieve at least something close to wat my sis did...but instead i went n got some relly sucky (relatively) results...haih. n stpm may still hold some promise as my 'last shot at glory' but at the rate i'm lagging behind studies, its as good as hoping for the sky to rain money...

anyway...its been a while since my last post (at least, it FEELS like a while...tho its nothing compared to the likes of samuel_lhc :P)...basically its becuz life's been shit n damn boring n there's nothing to write about...well, nothing positive anyway...n i doubt anyone wans to read about my complaints n gripes n general dissatisfaction wif life do they?

last nite (disambiguation: the night between tuesday and wednesday) i got only 3 hrs of sleep...thanx to the weather which is now on 'bake - crispy' mode; went to bed at 3 (dun ask y so late...its not wat u pervs think!) n tossed n turned for nearly an hr b4 i realised i was drenched wif sweat...so finally i went against usual practice (i dun usually turn on the air cond during week days) n turned on the air cond n managed to drift off shortly after that. the lack of sleep did not make much difference, perhaps becuz its normal practice for me to sleep the sch hrs away...but i did feel a little more light headed than usual after waking from my 'nap' during the free periods...

so anyway...about taekwondo...i think the enthusiasm is starting to cool off, n fast; lately i had been absent so often from class that everytime i go, i'm out of shape n always find myself looking forward to end of class; i think its mainly becuz i've discovered that over training does hv a big impact on study ability...as in it leaves me tired for the rest of the day (n probably the following day too...) n brings on the old coughing fit again...which takes days to subside, during which i experience greatly lowered concentration due to lack of sleep...so...i dunno lah...it seems like for me, fitness and health r 'inversely proportional' to each other...the harder i train, the 'stronger' i get but in actual fact its not that great for my health...

ok...i relly dunno wat i'm yada-ing about in this post oso..n its 2.34AM now...probably i'm posting this juz to satisfy that nagging little voice telling me to 'keep the blog alive'...haha readers, u better appreciate this!

really still got hope lar for STPM, tho for both of us we relly din expect to get d so-called 'sucky' results 4 spm right?
still remember the photo the press took for PMR (relly happy moment for us both) and SPM (relly disappointing moment for us both) which both of us stood side-by-side for the shots? i do...
at least i find my current exam system a lot better than either both spm/stpm since every subject is splitted into 3 units. so d study stress don't build up even until u finish stpm or watever and moreover, it's not like a 'score or die' scenario as in d style locally.

in this sense i'm lucky to have a relatively much relaxed education but sometimes i just foolishly wish that i could be there to experience the 'struggle' with u guys...
