9th Heaven – עזרא's Sphere: Memento Mori

I have a policy that I do not do work on weekends as they are my fixed rest days so ensure I handle any stress well.

Well, for starters, I am doing projects on a weekend, which is bad. And to top it all, it is a Sunday!!! A SUNDAY! I have to do all these garbage that I can’t spend more time with those who deserve it, even I have to decline my friend’s offer to go out, I can’t even go to the gym even if I wanted to.

Darn, I keep saying the sun will always come out after any heavy storms, but man, I keep saying now, “Where’s the Sun?! Where’s the Sun?!”

Because of that, I’ve been feeling very negative lately, my sincerest apologies if any of you are affected by it.

Another concern is well about my NS enlistment, I’m preparing for my entry to a vocation that I’m looking for, hoping I can it, as I have informed some people in advance.

Thanks to Lady Tymora, that I met my uncle, who is in the Airforce, when I was going for my medical checkup, he told me to ask for it, so I’m doing it now.

And speaking of NS, I am having this special someone who is getting her O Levels results this year and going to polytechnic (most likely) this year too. Shucks is that I have to enter NS which prolly means I won’t have much time for her, and polytechnic have even more guys (more competition). What’s more she has yet to recognise my feelings, and I’m thinking of a better opportune moment to tell her of them.

Ah well, if I can’t find one, just before I go into NS, I’ll just tell her straight and go, it will relieve this burden off my chest, whether she accepts or not, well, it don’t think it will matter then, what it matters that she’s happy.

I knew that the day was going to be a bad one the moment I took my first bus this morning.

In my life, I have only seen at maximum of 3 service number 99 buses at one bus stop at a time.

Guess what, today I saw 5!!! YES, 5! 5 buses!!! Terrible indeed, I hate coming late for any form of appointment and now due to this ‘interesting’ occurrence I was late to meet my friend by 20 minutes and late to report to the CMPB by 15 minutes (Thankfully I made some leeway to get there, so wasn’t that late).

The medical checkup today consisted of Urine test (for G6PD, high glucose concentration and such, they gave us a 5 in 1 test strip by Bayer), blood test, blood pressure test, X-Rays, Dental checkup, a general medical checkup, height and weight measurement, heart pulse measurement, and body tissue/fats/etc composition. And of course, lastly, the insane IQ test.

Okay, its not insane, considering I like maths and sciences, but they gave me too little time to calculate accurately to obtain those answers. There were questions on basic engineering physics, transformation of 2D objects via rotation mostly, maths questions (including integration and differentiation), pattern sequences, memory tests, and strangely, what you like (prolly due to what vocation you’ll be posted to).

So I mostly finished around 50% to 85% of the questions before the time ended, however, the test on memory was where they flash to you to remember a string of numbers for a while and instantly load a screen of scrambled data to disrupt your memory. And sadly, it wasn’t the scrambled data that affected me most, but my lousy memory So kinda started giving random answers.

At first, I was thinking that I started the test at around 0900hours, I could finish it by highsun. Unfortunately, it was already around 1400-1500hours before it was done and I could have my lunch. And I arrived in the labs at around 1600+hours, with no time for me to do anymore lab work ;-(

To make it worst, my bro’s cellphone prepaid card expired and I couldn’t reach him, until he called me back with his friend’s.

And to finish everything, I had some miscommunication with my mum about the time I’ll be arriving home and ended up almost 2 hours late on her side. Man, she was sooo angry.

Hope to see a better day tomorrow, though I have a number of assignments to finish this weekend.

And hope I can get my DSTA scholarship together with me serving at DSO labs, to allow me to better serve my country.
