Monochromatic!

My laptop's keyboard functionality has finally returned to normal after so many months. Now I can post whenever I want again without having to kick my sister off the "main" computer of my house when ever I need to do something that involves typing. Not that I ever mentioned this problem, since no one is looking for me after all. But anyway, here we are!

Oh yeah, the J and K button somehow got knocked off, so I only click the rubber thingy that's below it. lol.

It 6.30 and I am bored. I should probably take a shower but I'm too lazy to move from my bed. It's a Monday and I felt sleepy since morning. So you could imagine how much I struggle to concentrate in class. And I wasn't the only one. That's not a good thing.

You know how bored I am? I randomly googled Shuya's name just now. And I don't do that anymore. Do you know how pathetic that is? And do you want to know something more sad and pathetic? My blog appeared in the first few results.

My life is a bore.

On the bright side, it feels good to not have to carry something heavy every Thursday nowadays. Almost every Thursday since the last two years, you would see me carrying one sling bag for my books, one backpack for my kendo uniform, and of course, the ever so popular shinai bag. Add some files to that as well as three-storeys worth of a building and I feel like I've been climbing a mountain all day long.

But now, all I have to carry is a small camera bag which I can obviously put in my schoolbag. Woohoo for convenience.

So how's Photography?

Eh, we just had the introduction last Thursday. It wasn't anything interesting yet, but we already decided the themes we're going to do in the next few weeks, all on school grounds. I'm looking forward to fashion photography among others. I wanna see how we can do that outside of a professional studio. Haha.

What's up, hell?

It's that time of the year again. You know, the "new" part of the year. Like it or not, we have to get back into the game, facing new challenges ahead. In my case, it's the challenges of being PU 2 of MS. I haven't got a chance to say "Happy New Year" to you yet. "You" as in, my dear blog. Yes, I love you, bloggy-blog <3. All because I've been soooo busy with school.

When my teachers last year warned how the second year would be much tougher than last year, that it will feel like "being in another world", I didn't realise the shock would throw me off so far that I landed in Mars.

Apakan.

So anyway, I know I've only been in school for the past four days, but it already felt like months of workload has been put upon me. Every time I come back from school, it's so exhausting. I don't know if that has anything to do with the many formulas I have to memorise in Physics and Maths, or trying to understand the theories in Economics, OR the fact that I have to climb THREE frickin' floors up and down for every hour of the day just to get to class.

But then again, it's probably because this time round, I'm actually trying to concentrate in class. Not exactly my new year's resolution, but I feel like, "oookay, let's get this over with! We only have 10 months left of school!" So yeah, concentrating in class. In the last few years, the things you see on my notes and textbooks are doodles. So it's really a pain in the ass trying to put the pencil down and actually listen to the teacher. But I'm trying, and trying my very best!

Still, I am really really struggling with Physics. Currently studying Circular Motion. Why did I ever take Physics? My FAQ to myself, since the last year. I love knowing the logic behind things, and I Circular Motion very interesting. Things go round in a circle due to a resultant force called centripetal force. And that's why planes have to tilt when they want to make a turn. Interesting fact really, but because we have to like calculate the linear and angular velocity and displacement, I cringe. Oh man, I'm beginning to spout nonsense. You may skip this paragraph. Although saying this at the end of the paragraph is pretty useless since you might have gone through it before reading this part right?

Sorry. :(

Now with school from 7.30AM to 12.30PM, and with all teachers giving extra classes up to 2.30PM, there isn't much time left for photoshopping. Therefore I am sad. But since I took up Photography as my CCA, I might get a chance to use photoshop in school. Woohoo.

Quite a few people asked why I didn't take Kendo, since I've been taking it for the past two years and they know how much in love I am (supposedly) with it and the money ($200 for the clothes and equipment) I spent on it. Other than this being my last schooling year. But I guess the passion for it pretty much got drained out of me. But I'm not entirely giving up on Kendo. One day, I sure hope I'll take it up again. There is a hint of regret in my heart when I realised I didn't sign up for Kendo, but I'm sure it'll pass. I'm excited to try out photography. Besides, there's a 2-week trial for our CCAs, and if we don't like it we can change. Thought that doesn't mean I WILL pick Kendo. I have my eyes on another CCA for the time being.
