It's been a tiring and taxing few days. And that's an understatement.
I find myself now just willing the week to finish as soon as possible, just so I can finally get to my holidays. I haven't felt this bad about school for some time now, but the shit's just all piling up at the moment.
Uncertainty rears its ugly head again, as well as trepidation (over the FOM project), and of course we can never discount our old friend, fatigue.
There's just so many things I want to have over with at the moment, it's not even funny. And this is coming from someone who laughs at almost anything, so you know it's serious.
Many things of note have happened in recent times that I haven't had the time/energy to blog about. One, is that despite my extreme slackness in my studies in secondary school, I have managed to bag an award for my Combined Humanities and will be heading back to the ol' secondary school on the 11 July for Awards Night to receive my certificate or whatever it is they want to give me. This was as big a surprise for me as it would be for anyone, considering the standard (or lack thereof) of my studies in secondary school, but it's a pleasant one nevertheless. Looking forward to it =)
The other event which has happened recently is this: Recently, my school has been having a fair, a bazaar of sorts, with various 'pasar malam-ish' food being sold, as well as some other stuff like clothes and board games, amongst others. One of the main attractions though, is this palm reader man named Master Khor, who is offering his services at a discount for students of the school.
Like any other cynical, intelligent person, my first thought about this attraction was 'Hah, just for a laugh'. However, after watching him at work I believe that this guy is the real deal. It started when my friend decided to have his palm read for fun. There was a list of topics to choose from, and $20 would get you all the topics, while $10 would only get you two. My friend only had $10 to spare, so he went with the topics 'Love' and 'Career'.
As my friend was having his palm read I stood next to him, listening to everything this Master Khor fella said. Now, my friend being Boon, my best friend of 9 years, of course I knew some things about him that no one else knows. And, spookily enough, the palm reader got it all spot on. He wasn't being vague about his readings either; most of them were quite specific.
Seeing this happen, I decided to have my palm read too (same topics as my friend), and lo and behold, he was right on many counts again. Some of the things he mentioned about me were my cold exterior (and no, I did not show any form of coldness throughout or even when we were queuing up), but only because I'm very (maybe too much) observant, spotting all the little details in people. I also have a very good sixth sense , so he said that I should trust my instincts.
Another thing is that he said that I am very creative, and if I use my creativity right, I could do some really big stuff. However, if I misuse it, I could screw myself royally, so I gotta be careful there. He also said that I'm very logical (sometimes too much, again), and that I have what it takes to be a success in the future. Best of all, I have a kind soul =)
There are some things he said about the 'Love' part of his predictions that I'd rather not talk about; they're private to me and maybe only the ones I trust the most. As of now I've only told one person and I think it's gonna stay that way. He didn't pull any punches either; if there was something bad he'd say it. For example, he said that another of my friends is egoistical (he is, haha), that I'm tied down by loved ones, and that because he thinks too much about it (like me), my friend could possibly never get together with the girl he likes.
All in all, it was an interesting experience, to say the least. I'll definitely be following some of his suggestions; he was quite right about everything, why shouldn't I just go along with his suggestions? Besides, I have nothing to lose (the suggestions do not involve any sort of risk of any kind).
Well, one more week. I'm tired, very tired, and also quite weak emotionally due to various kinds of emotional beatings I've received lately. I'm just dragging myself across the finish line now.
