2 more weeks to common tests. So it just means gotta "PIA" alr. Hmmmm..and to stretch the calender a little further, another 2.5 more weeks to getting my ipod touch. =)

I was just telling ppl today that Im feeling the effects of how fast time travels. Like how something was mentioned long ago but it seems to me that is was just said a few days back.Like how much I was longing for the ipod touch and now, its just 2.5 weeks more to get my hands on it. But well, full force on the common tests first. This 20% is just a must-have in my "pocket" because losing it would just mean throwing a good and easy opportunity to score an A.

Read the Pcgamer magazine Melvin Tan brought for me today because of the Red Alert 3 article in it. Seriously, Im a true hardcore Red Alert fan,despite the "hobby" sinking 7 years back. At that time, it was primary 5 and the guys in my class were like Red Alert fanatics, with Leslie leading the way. Lol. And well, he's the most powerful around and during those days it didnt need much graphics support to play Red Alert 2 so it was a "you can play it if you have a comp" kinda situation. Now,haiz,sad to say, those notes in our pockets have to be compromised if we wanna play the latest game, simply because we have to constantly update with the graphics demand. =( Lucky for me, I dont play much games, perhaps only Dota,which is seldomly touched, or ......hmmm..cant seem to think of anything else. The playstation 2 is also collecting dust in my living room and there isn't any urge at all to get a PS3. Nowadays I'd rather watch movies, videos, tv serials or just get moving with an outdoor activity. There's simply no time at all for any sort of gaming. But since Red Alert 3 is coming round the corner, its time to get a mid-graphics kinda comp and continue to re-live the command and conquer experience. Hopefully, I can revive my "comrades" who were on the battlefield 7 years ago too. =)

Just on a random thought, I realised how un-appreciative I am towards my gadgets and items. Last year before sch, I was so excited about owning a laptop. Now, its just a daily routine kinda thing and I dont really feel that "WOW" anymore. Same goes to my mobile phone of 3 months. And to go deeper,its not about the appreciative feeling anymore. Its more of whether is it a necessity or not. You might have the latest phone with the best camera, bluetooth and what have you. But, just like me, if you do not have a need for these functions, it just turns out to be a normal part of your life. And after time, it just gets thrown around. So in conclusion,its best to have a buffer period before you buy anything, esp. those expensive stuff, so as to determine if you really have a need or urgent want for them. Cooling periods like these seriously can "wake" you up from your "dream" and make you fall back to reality and practicality.

So bye guys, Im gonna finish up my Maths tutorials. Oh and, mdm Tan said that my tutorial exercises were very neatly done. =) HAHAHA.
