Beating the holiday blues

When I received my results, I immediately felt relieved at the prospect of not taking any supplementary papers; but otherwise, later on, I felt a sinking sense of despair, knowing too well my accumulated grades so far, will carry me nowhere...

My GPA is 2.73. Stagnation. My Cross Disciplinary Subjects (CDS) 'Intro-' 'Economics', 'Sociology' are the only ones I'm proud of in my result slip, having scored 'Z's (Distinction)... Otherwise, I won't even show people my results... (I'm an 'A'-less student)

It has always been my ambition to become an Auror. Whoops. Strike off that line. To become an Author, more like it. An ambition inspired by the magical books of Roald Dahl, Dick King Smith... I've read since young. Enid Blyton was far too English for my tastes... Delving in English Mythology... like Enchanted trees, elves, pixies, Wishing Chairs... all these I can remember. Children's books have an unlimited scope of imagination.

Anyway, what happened today? Physical Training Session: Played badminton at school with KaiL and JingS... So, it was a 2 vs 1 match. And being the guy of course, I had to be the one running around the 1 man-field. Not that I mind, not at all. They didn't seem to mind my lack of ability at playing proper badminton. Yup. All of us could do with some improvement, from the way I've seen others play. I was lucky I didn't smack mercilessly this game, like I did always. So I got away this time without being scolded. Wonder what would it be like next week with Inky and Devi coming to join us.

After that, KaiL went for her breakfast bcos she didn't have it. And then we watched the Ring.. I was seriously spooked-out, but otherwise impressed at all the visual imagery depicted during the course of the film. Oh man. Picking off live fly from a frozen television image~ getting a nosebleed in the process. And that hi-frequency girl ghost. All the fast-forwarded action... ready to shock the wits out of you. Definitely a cursed videotape. I hope I don't get nitemarez. But of course, I like the scenery of the lone maple tree in the Mountain Inn. Ashamed of myself, I am. For only I freaked out, while KL & JS took it as not scary at all.

Meanwhile, went home to watch Full Metal Panic II The 2nd Raid... and Fruits Basket... to remove all unwanted feelings of shock...

Seven days. I can't wait.
