and with prom over, my journey in acs has ended. its been an exciting 12 years of acs life. the friends, the teachers, the lessons, the distinctive culture. all a part of growing up and recognising yourself. 

prom was fun. performing was exciting as usual, and the nominations were unexpected but delightful. although i had always somehow expected something slightly different, this was just as wonderful. taking photos with friends (some acquaintances). memories are wonderful things, although looking at all the facebook photos and videos is making it hard to believe that this is all over. i don’t even want to think about the prospects of not keeping in touch next year. for now, lets just pretend like life is perfect. starbucks was fun. (:

photos are up, videos are lagging because stupid facebook is giving me 30 kbps and hangs in the middle of each 250mb video. yay.

today was great. thanks for the lunch people, it was really fun. maybe we should cash in more on the student pricing while we are still eligible. before we become nsmen. such exciting prospects.

the informant! was a fairly interesting show. although at a time like this i might have preferred something requiring fewer thought processes to understand. i got lost on occasion along the way due to the absence of undivided attention. heh.

please get me that internship. i need some direction in life, eventually.

the past 4 days have been hectic (happily so) and it feels like IB ended a year ago. and there is so much ahead to do, and enjoy.

18th november: the final paper. to think that now that this is over, we’re not going to do another academic exam for at least another year. and even then, everything will never be the same as what we were trained to expect. university, independent learning at its finest, and possibly most taxing. after math, sitting on a bench at btp waiting for my mum to get groceries while eating mcdonalds felt strangely liberating. posting a facebook status update from my phone using wireless@sg even more so, somehow. its as though everything will be different now, with no immediate academic pursuits looming over us and casting daunting shadows. after which, sprite and lime juice at clementi, which was certainly a. new experience. and then dinner, and happiness.

19th november. waking up early, sending the class off to bintan for 4 days of madness. and then a ride back home, and a day of xbox and movies and shows. its wonderful to just have nothing to do, to just be able to laze around and look for things to occupy yourself with. the only problem was the rain. but ohwell. 

20th november. waking up late, playing, and then fps. its fun to be part of an event but not be a participant. to be free to wander around in the midst of all the programmes, ignoring the out of bounds signs and taking photos of the true participants. it’s easy to get lost in rgs though. at night, 2012 was certainly interesting, although rather illogical. but then again, who watches apocalyptic movies for any semblance of reality anyway. yay for special effects.

21st november. a whole day of fps. again, a nice experience to be on the planning/administrative side of things. certainly a different perspective on everything. and then a nice dinner and just lazy talk. 

i could get used to this.

i just feel like lazing around. yay.

it feels so weird, now that there’s only one paper left. for a whole year after wednesday i will have no more academic exams. and as the prospects of a really long, never-ending holiday draw closer, i’m beginning to wonder what will actually happen for the next few months. i predict, time is going to fly, and there’ll never be enough opportunity to do everything i wanted to do. but ohwell, that’s life.

and now, we have to wait for almost a WEEK. before it REALLY ends.

coraline was pretty cool, despite all the hiccups with the 3d glasses and everything. but nice, scary plot. so much for animated films being for little children.

MASSIVE INERTIA ERGHHH. i can’t bring myself to do anything. not even add album art to the 300 or so songs sitting in my iTunes with no cover art.

the first week is gone. chemistry was, okay. mathematics was a killer, but there’s nothing left to do now. other than practice for paper 3 next weekend. but since i can’t do anything about the papers i’ve completed, i shan’t be bothered. all we can do is hope for the best. that and study bio and history. yes louis.

the floodgates are opening at 1300 hours tomorrow. for lack of a better phrase, this is it. truly. the past 2 years, no, the past 6 years of school life (life, basically) boils down to tomorrow. we’ve worked for this, slacked for this, gotten all upset and worried for this. in soon time will make short work of our ib life and it’ll all be over. but for now i’ve got to put thoughts of the post-ib awesomeness out of my mind. because its the moment that matters. 

its a really strange feeling. i don’t know if this is what its supposed to feel like, or if i’m too unprepared, or too un-stressed. i just feel like i’m floating. let’s take this day by day then, shall we?

all the best guys. slay the monster.
