Cannot Concentrate

It appears that my mind is breaking down: I find myself sleeping at random times of the day, my memory functions are severely malfunctioning, and my ability to concentrate has been so badly impaired that I can't even focus on one page of my notes before I get the urge to read a blog, look at some manga, or go through MSN to see who's online and can be chatted to.

(As a side-note: people don't seem to pay particular attention to the little Status thing; there've been a few who insisted to talking to me while it was Busy and my nickname was complaining about exams to mug for... I guess the habit of not reading prevails even amongst my contacts...)

I'm not even focusing properly on typing this post: I used to be able to crank the whole thing out before bothering with other pages, but right now I'm checking my forums and looking for the latest chapter of Bleach. The ctrl-Tab shortcut is well-used on my computer, second only to the alt-Tab one...

At any rate, I've got a quiz the day after tomorrow--Maths again, heck!--and I've got to study for it, although how I'm going to do that I've no idea. I can memorise the conditions in which to apply each formula, but there're just too many conditions and attached formulae to remember--and besides, these formulae are made up of several steps, which means I have to know the proper order of each step too...

It's insanity.

We had the egg-throwing thing last Thursday. Easy Kill has a bunch of videos of it that he took on his PSP; we plan to add a soundtrack, edit, and merge where necessary, then throw it on to YouTube and send the relevant link to everybody involved. After the quiz, of course; purely as a stress-relieving exercise.

(Our other idea was to get a few bottles of vodka and drown them in sorrow.)

Einstein is great, Einstein is wonderful, Einstein gave me lots of E-books, including the entire Dark Materials trilogy PLUS the Belgariad PLUS the Malloreon! Gotta love E-books.

My kid brother got me onto Facebook... and it's surprisingly fun, compared to Friendster--I must say I don't know why Friendster isn't upgrading itself yet. Of course, Facebook does face a disadvantage where loading times are concerned, what with all its Flash apps and stuff. But with my wonderful LAN connection, that disadvantage is quite null and void.

Right now I just want some way to concentrate on my Math...

Well now, this is my next and probably last post before I’m overtaken once again by the vice grip of tyranny that goes by the seemingly innocuous name of the SPM. Right now, I can safely say that I have not been studying quite as diligently as my mother would have me. After all, she says that the only way I’m going to an Australian college is on a scholarship, and if I don’t get good grades on the SPM, I won’t get a scholarship and will be forced to take STPM. Oh horrors. Anyway, I am now once again in uncertainty as I wait to see what college I can go to. (As I see it, the STPM is only to be taken as a definite, desperate, only-to-be-taken-in-times-of-great-and-perilous-danger last-minute choice; even A-Levels are better.) I shall soon be applying to TAR college, which I will probably not go to even if I do get in because my mother will have found yet another, better (read: cheaper) college to apply to. But then it’s just my grouchiness taking over. I’ve been particularly grumpy

Memoriam the Second

My grandmother on my father's side passed away at 3am on Sunday. She had been sickly even before that; this was, I think, the fourth time in a year or so that she had been hospitalised with complaints of difficulty breathing. She had already been unable to sleep without the help of an oxygen concentrator, and her mobility was already extremely limited due to her breathlessness. We were informed of this by a group call on the family Messenger at around 6am. At the moment the immediate concerns were to pay off the remainder of her hospital bill and bring the body home, and then to alert everybody who was still sleeping and had missed the group call. This happened in Johor. A significant part of the family was in Singapore and unable to return: Fourth Aunt, Third Brother, Fourth Sister, myself, and various other cousins and in-laws. Others yet were overseas. As I told someone, geographical distance helps a little with emotional distance. But there always comes a time for remembering.

Panthera Sapiens: A Pie ('Nuff Said about that)

It's... about three years and a half now since I started work, give or take a week or two, and definitely coming on three years since I was transferred into the QA department, so I think it's a bit of a good time to start, hm, taking stock of everything that's changed or not changed, that I can observe. A small thought occurs to me that I ought to encrypt this, so I will. But I'm too lazy to do the complicated key thing that I did before; I'll just use an online encrypter when I'm done with this, and if whoever's reading this is both curious enough to attempt decryption AND clever or fortunate enough to find the key, well, that's reward for motivation and intelligence, isn't it? What has happened in the company over the last three and a half years that I can remember, in non-chronological and non-alphabetic order: EnCt2c6b5a6bbe84890d1925f557bfedc741d237ada38c6b5a6bbe84890d1925f557brSMTQY+tvAJ igOUcGFV2R9ryNSk4mnzDxEswwbwI3HSTbNrq7fuVKzyyXIn
