Stress doesn't exist as long as you don't believe in it.
Ok, so now I know what stress feels like.
1. My ****ing dumb ass of a brother just came home and I was just sitting in front of the computer, doing nothing to him at all when he came in and switched off the ceiling fan just to annoy me. And as you all know, I get highly-irritable and stressed when it's hot. I had to walk all the way to the switch to turn it on again and now I'm sweating my guts out. Damn it, I WANT IT TO SNOW.
2. I found the most amazing piano version of 'BoA-Everlasting' on Youtube but I don't know HOW to upload it here. I thought I could just copy and paste the code from Youtube in here but NO, I can't and I'm not going to waste my time over mundane technical difficulties since I'm already IT challenged.
3. I've got 2.4km NAPHA tomorrow and rather than be stressed about the math test, I'm more stressed for the run/jog. Seriously, it's not the tired-ness that gets to me, it's the pain. Do you know how much your calves HURT when you run? It's like a permenant leg cramp, it feels like it's on fire, and you can't walk since you have to PASS it if not you must redo it over and over and over and over and over again.
4. My piano teacher is coming tomorrow and I have yet to master page 2 of 'Sonata in C'. I hope my fingers are prepared for a vigorous workout.
5. I'm probably not going to sleep early tonight since I don't like going to bed(but once I sleep I don't want to get up) and so I'll be rushing off to school again after possibly over-sleeping for 5 minutes half-hoping that I won't be late(SBS/SMRT you CANNOT let me down).
6. 1 Chinese mock paper. Sounds simple, but its lethal. One paper is enough to fry your brains. I HATE doing those. Like, read FIVE passages in size 10 font in the span of 2 hours then answer questions on it that you'll get 0 for since you have no inkling of what the philosphy-based passage is about(some stuff on LIFE again).
But to be thankful...
1. I'm in love with Jason Mraz's music again! I was singing along to 'I'm Yours' just awhile ago, gosh It's such a beautiful song. It makes me want to learn to play the guitar!
2. My birthday!
3. Going out with my cousin on 11th to shop since we're both changing our wardrobes(kind of).
4. My (other)cousin's 1 year old birthday party this Sunday. FOOD!
5. Getting the motivation to study/do homework again( I did 2-3 hours of it last night, YAY).
6. Instant noodles for dinner tonight.
7. Finding the music sheet for 'BoA-Everlasting' in hope that I can play as well as that talented pianist in the Youtube video. I'm probably gonna have to improvise a bit though.
8. Shen Moo's band concert this Saturday
9. Mid Years(yeah I didn't put this in the wrong column. I'm thankful for mid years). They force me to study. If not, I would never study since my main problem is remembering the key words rather than the concept. The concept itself is easy to grasp and I can remember it fairly easily. It's just the key words that I can't remember and that also give you the marks so I end up memorising anyway(much as I am forgetful). Which is why I LOVE Geography/History. You can just remember the concept/event and crap your way out of anything since one thing always leads to another and it's plain common sense-ical(not to mention more interesting than Sciences, no offence).
10. The fact that I thought I would quit German in Sec 3 when I took it up in Sec 1, but no, I'm still learning it now in Sec 4 and I want to take it for H2. Might as well take something you like!
11. Music. Need I say more? These days I'm coming online just to drown myself in it. And when I'm bored, I just play a song over and over again in my head.
*So, who says you have to blog for a reason? I blog because I like the freedom of expression(kind of, so long as it doesn't cross the limits of the law), the absence of formats, and I like writing/typing. It helps me to destress and its a lot less tiring than writing.
**Yeah, stress is gone. I guess I should go cook instant noodles now.
***I realised I;ve been blogging mroe often these days. I think I kind of caught on Victoria's idea to record how your 16th year is like. It's working, I hope? Next time when I read my archives I'll laugh at my own posts!
Thanks to all the blogs i referred to (countless) for html code help :) (esp. cyn' and sixseven)
