new blogskin!

credits to http://freeskins.blogspot.com/ for this!

if my memory has not failed me, it has been almost 4 years since i last changed my blogskin. 4 years has been a long time.

since i'm on the subject of blogskins, i might as well credit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors as well. you the reader should take 10 seconds of your life to browse through that weblink too. who would have known that there are so many different colours that exist? admittedly they're just different shades, but the names are still pretty cool. i mean, fashion fuchsia IS pretty wicked for a colour name, you know it is.

have still resorted to raw html coding interpretations for my template code edition; am pleasantly surprised that such presumably arcane knowledge can actually be put to good use!

hmm i do like this new skin, especially the title. personally it signifies (to however little extent you may want to percieve it as) a degree of maturity growth; the secondary 3 me was certainly more ignorant and less understanding.

while i was making final touch ups to the template and looking through my old blog links, i realised how very many of them have ceased to continue (in the sense that the blog still exists but the user's online presence has died away). i guess blogging, like most other things, are fads and the "in-thing" for most, and those that do "survive" and continue the usage are probably those who find some meaningful purpose in the usage.

the other thing was that i wanted to furnish the links list with the latest blogs i keep up to date with. many of my friends' blogs have been forgotten by me, and even though it may be abit weird but i feel somewhat guilty over that. because it feels as if you forget a friend when you forget that he/she keeps a blog that, more often than not, shares at least bits and pieces of his or her life and events and feelings. but i decided to keep my list short, mainly because i knew there were those out there who wouldn't appreciate having their blog links spread around, since they had preferred to keep their blogs private (however ironic the notion of that may seem). it's unfortunate, because that could potentially lead to my forgetting of the existence of their blogs again. trade-offs are abundant in life's choices huh. kind of makes me want to bring in econs knowledge of the production possibility curve to illustrate scarcity opportunity cost and choice. A level mugging has been getting to my head.

speaking of A levels, today marks the "one paper left" countdown for me at last. while the past week has not gone as well as i would have liked (i would even go so far as to say that i bungled quite a few papers), there is really little i can do but trust and pray that God will set things right.

wow, am amazed at how much i can write on getting a new blogskin. or some say that i'm just unnecessarily verbose..

oh well, now's the time to slack! i mean, there IS physics mcq on monday, but people do need a break no? i'll still do all the physics mcq papers that i have at least once =)

countdown like everyone else does: 4 more days!

i wasn't really expecting that i'd have the mood/time to be doing this, but here i am.

one week of A levels has come and gone. so...A levels feel like that. it's not all that different from prelims/promos/common tests actually, i mean i study as i always do more or less. probably what is different is that if you screw up in the exam, you come out feeling really, REALLY bad.

so for myself thus far (since blogs have stereotypically, often realistically portrayed as sites for narcissistic activity), gp and math are officially over and done with, as far as jc life is concerned. am glad that math ended well! gp essay was not all that brilliant, since an extremely narrow question on technology came out and i was "forced" to do it anyway (lack of choice, no media topic again ARGH cambridge why you like that) and my concluding paragraph was 3 lines noooo no impressive ending. compre was really good! must be the first time i finished a compre feeling happy/somewhat confident of doing well. as for chem, turns out the paper was generally percieved to be tough and i wasn't much of an exception. perhaps the bell curve will be in my favour, hopefully...?

whatever the case is, thank God for a good week on the whole! will continue to need His grace for another 3 long weeks. As are alot less intimidating when you know that all things will be made right in the end =)

but alas, i have been slacking away since i got home from math! yes all the way till now as i am typing these words. funny that the longer the (study) break the more you tend to slacken. oh well back to work!


good song by the way, was looping it on end just now. westlife!

Kim Tae Woo - You, My Wings


Some people say a nice house is their dream
Some people say a cool car is their dream
At that time, for me, parting the white clouds,
flying the blue sky was my dream

Everyone says it is not possible to fly but I believe, I believe

If I’m with you I can fly
With you, my wings, I can fly
I love you as much as that dazzling sun
Stay by my side forever

When there is an unclimbable mountain in front of my eyes
When there is an uncross-able river in front of my eyes
I am tired (I am tired) without anyone to reach for, even
Please be a shoulder I can rest on for a little while

Everyone says it is not possible to do but I believe, I believe

If I’m with you I can fly
With you, my wings, I can fly
I love you as much as that dazzling sun
Stay by my side forever

This feeling right now, like I’m flying in the sky
I want to keep in my heart
With you, my wings,
I want to fly toward that sky

If I’m with you I can fly
With you, my wings, I can fly
I love you as much as that dazzling sun
Stay by my side
Be my wings forever

You are my wings
