New life?

Perhaps i should start posting again soon. Perhaps?

Earlier I said i would restart my blog or setup a new one (like the (47934984984th one already) to signify my new life post-bate.

Somehow, things still dont seem to be much different. There are still many things to be done. Most of which, i cant quite recall for the time being. The time. The time. Surely I must have better things to do.

Perhaps i should start posting again soon.

 

Finally…a taste of rest.

So I decided to mess about and make changes to the blogskin. My custom header image of the Crossroad remains the same.

Apart from that, I got rid of the useless parts of the site index and fit in new stuff, mainly the tag section and the blog stats. I’m not too sure whether the blog stats actually work. If they do, they don’t count the user’s own viewing — which i suppose is smart.

The current 280 is both large and small at the same time. Compared to the blogs of others, i’d say this is very small. My classmate, Mr F‘s blog that covers educational/ tuition stuff seems very “into” the blogosphere. His count — is 8000 more than mine. I’d expect the KKYS to have a few thousand also considering that its been awhile for quite sometime (and heh heh, it is automatically accessed everytime I ‘Restore Previous Session’ for my firefox. just happens to be one of te few hundred windows that are open) .

Compared to my expectations, that obviously is huge. Almost worrying. i do after all prefer things smaller and more personal anyway.

There are several things i need to do:
1. Clear my room — note, clear, not clean. The problem is I have so many stacks of books, I have absolutely no idea where to put them. And I already have thrown away random working paper. Where could I chuck all my clutter to at least make space for my new books which will (mostly) come on Thursday? I reckon rushing through my room the night before to get it cleared. It’s probably possible just not easy. I’d rather have another few days of carrying furniture.

2. Cut my hair — getting too thick and too long for my liking. Personally i prefer short hair? But I havent cut since the september holiday. Two days before the Republic P. debate finals to be specific. Technically I can last one hair cut a term. Except that I forgot to count in the holidays as part of the term. In other words, it has already exceeded one term by now. When I cut, it’ll have to be extra short. Heck, I’ll wait for december. I’ll cut when I can tie my hair.

3. Collect my books for next year — This probably marks me deciding on my options already. I’ll get the privilege of not stepping out of my house till Thursday to collect almost all my books. Namely all the SL english books (maybe with the three that A lost), IOC and Hist notes (made by A), uh an econs photocopied text, HL math book (with file and notes).
Estimated price I’ll pay: $100+
Estimated price I would have to pay for the originals:around $400

There probably are people willing to offer them at lower prices, but fair enough la. I’m too lazy to wait too long for prices to drop. I believe that I’m saving quite a bit already.

Though I need to get my Bio book. I’m rather unwilling to buy it since I already have an ib bio book at home but they changed the syllabus.

This week is expected to be a great (while plain) week for resting. Its been so busy for the past two weeks with meeting people back to back etc. (and my first week of holidays were spent being ill) Time sure passes fast. It’s week four already. Time is tight. I’d probably need to use my time more wisely from now on.

Next week december will be near.

 

Igne Natura Renovatur Integra

By Flames Shall The Earth Be Reborn is what the Latin phrase means and is basically the rational for recreating a blog (for the uh, fifth time now?). It’s quite a commonly used line by psychos who want to destroy the world, not that it is reflective of any destructive streak of mine.

And i was thinking that this may have been our smoking neighbours if it wasnt for not seeing trees lying around. We all know that it is harder to reconstruct than to destroy as can be seen in the post-meiji era and even the revolution in China. Its quite a high cost to rebuild something from scratch, but not in my case at least.

Being absolutely optimistic, i expect to turn stagnant and hop again in due time. It’s pretty much like Russia having up to twelve five year plans (all of which were not very efficient) and sacking officials whenever a specific area (i.e. industry) went wrong — likewise constant blog changing isnt going to solve the underlying problem (most probably that of laziness and apathy)

Nevertheless, I’ve taken a step out of the dark room. Most of the blogs after my first one were locked away in secrecy and kept private to a small select group (so damn communist i tell you) This time, it’d be more open. Quite representative and symbolic of my character change over time as well if you get what i mean. In other words, no more “no linking, no telling others” policy. The jocks can come for all i care.

In all honesty, it’s really because i have already gotten too bored for two weeks of nothingness (i do have plans though!) Then again i get bored pretty easily, if i’m not wrong, i should be playing Star Ocean/Tales of Phantasia/random rpg but have already gotten bored.
