Computer's Busted! on 06 November 2008
, 11:41 PMIn the past week, the most significant one to date would be the Chinese O paper.
Just because just this paper will show if my learning curve for Chinese is on the up or down trend.
I really hope to pass though.
Also, my computer went dead on me.
I tried opening the CPU to source for the fault.
Then I thought that the fault lied in the motherboard, where the dry cell could have possibly ran out of power.
But I was wrong when the computer didn't start up after I swapped the dry cell for one I bought at the supermarket.
Only one way to bring my computer back up now, which is to check for faults in the power supply unit but that will have to wait until my dad has time to take my computer for a check up.
Anyway, while the O's are still underway with 4 more papers for me, I hope that all of you out there who feel guilty for taking breaks even before sitting for the upcoming papers will feel more assured that you're still on the boat that everyone else is on: I've been slacking so much already!
Of course, I'm not on the same plane (think space or area, but not a literal aeroplane) as everyone else who enjoys studying for such examinations to score higher and better than their classmates and then live on the adrenaline that they get by beating their classmate's asses at the examinations.
On post examination activities, I've already got some laid out.
Immediately after the biology paper, I'll be joining my classmates to hit the downtown (hey hey downtown east, where else in Singapore?) and get a bit of my life back.
Red camp is over for me just because I confirmed a trip with the Guitar guys (CCA commitments) to Kuala Lumpur (lol the blogger dictionary put up Lumper on this).
I'll be missing out on all the moments of polytechnic experience! (my friends too and the girls who would be there, of course.)
Meh! To come to think of it, I make really bad decisions.
And while I still have time to use my dad's laptop to access the internet, I'll have to maximise my time which means I'll be ending this post here.
Hope you're all doing fine with life up to this point.
Good luck for all the things to come.
So till then (whenever I can).
