Whoo! Day 2 into promos. Bio today.. Well, day 3 if you consider GP. Now I know what its like to be on the receiving end of a blitzkrieg. Get shot "up, down, flying around" by the exams ain't fun. I'm sure many who read the blog will already know of my numerous frustrations and blah. Well its true.

I need to complain about Bio first. Basically I predicted everything wrongly, the questions came from a totally unexpected angle. Cell Bio instead of photosynthesis and respiration!! I'm never gonna predict questions again!! I think it would have been easier to fence Maurice and Daniel at the same time and win than to get an A for bio. And my handwriting was atrocious. There was once when I compressed the word "help" so much that it looked like "" ... oh well... lets see what God has in store.. whats the point worrying anyway.

I'm just gonna sit back, listen to relaxing music for a while, then go and do maths. Or chem. Or physics. My physics is... only covered until mid years? (forces)

Thank goodness for the influx of relaxing songs I've got various sources x)

On a happier note, its back to cycling to school for me until fencing training starts again. But I admit, the weather is quite extreme to be bumbling up and down the Siglap Park Connector... Not to mention all the VJC students who gawk at my helmet at the traffic light. Haven't seen helmet before meh? Dotz

I can imagine....

"Whats that he's wearing on his head"
"Mushroom lar.... never see shitake mushroom before issit?"
"Mushroom? So weird"
"Yar lor, thats why people rarely wear it"

Man, I bet I'm the 1% of the population in Singapore that wears a helmet. I've cycled since I was a kiddie and my red bicycle (which got stolen at the start of this year) has been used since P5. I don't fear running into things. I fear things running into me!

I don't feel inclined to chiong at a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction and see whether the collision is elastic or not, oh no. But sometimes you can't help it. I wouldn't be so stupid to ram a car y'know.

Although I admit, the last time I got into an accident it was my fault. I jumped off my bike and banged my head into the side of the sheet metal sign above me. Why do they put the signs so low anyway!! I was only 13_-something! If it weren't for my helmet I would have been split like a watermelon encountering a guillotine that is accelerating at 9.81 ms^-2

Thats the reason why I had to change my white helmet for this newer one. But people still gawk at my shitake mushroom. I mean, yesterday MR WONG was gawking at it!! He was like "whats that?"

If I had a time to think of replies to the numerous people who asked "whats that" they would be somewhere along the line of maybe "Oh thats my pet fungus... In case I get hungry between papers"

Anyway, today still taught me not to be complacent.

Tired of VJC students staring at me at the traffic light (Or occasionally, snickering... Derek!!)I decided to push off at 6.25 today. It didn't add up in my plans I made the night before that it might be drizzling. But anyway my uniform is waterproof, I had my windbreaker (which is still too small for me) and off I went.

Man it was cold.. It wasn't raining outright, mind you, but it was drizzling enough and enough of a breeze was blowing to make it a little above frigidity. Still, I was quite cheerful as I only had 3 hours sleep the night before but felt absolutely awake. Great weather. Really! =) . I shivered my way across Sims Avenue, Upper Changi Road and onto the park connector.

I was singing "Great is Thy Faithfulness to me" I'd just gotten to the line "strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside" which cheered me up a bit cos I really needed strength to endure my 4 major projects clashing together.

When I sneezed.

I sneezed and nearly went through the barrier and into the monsoon drain. Somehow my left side reacted more than my right and pulled back, letting the bike jerk left.

I recovered and just straightened out when a maid riding an old bicycle WITH NO SIGNAL LIGHTS WHATSOEVER came zooming out of the darkness. I jerked both brakes again and felt the wheels slide on the leafy pavement and just managed to avoid collision. Shades of Thomas the Tank Engine.

Yup. Anyway I hope it keeps raining. I could do with cooler journeys to and from school =)

Take care everyone... Continue doing your best for your exam!
