Friday.

The final Friday in this city.
Everything was fine, visited the coolest old person-Grandad in the afternoon. Why did I say he's the coolest person? He doesn't talk much, well, I dislike excessive noises. I remembered last year, all he said to me is "Study" every exam season. I expected that he would say that, instead he reminded me to bring along my toothbrush.

How to brush? Pity those people.

Cousins came round in the evening, right after I say goodbye to Mom's plants in the backyard. After dinner I was excused from kitchen duty since I was not feeling well. I'm no longer in charge of Mom's gourmet kitchen.

Off duty for the time being.

p.s I'm off to bed now. Need plenty of rest.

Thursday.

The final Thursday in this city.
Can't write much as I'm feeling exactly how I felt on the day before my birthday.
The flight scheduled on the day after tomorrow is delayed. I thank the airline for informing earlier.
Cleaned up the lair which makes it no longer look like a villain's lair.

p.s I'm very sorry if the recent posts are so-called not up to the standard.
p.p.s Pray for my recovery. Need to be well for college.

Wednesday.

The final Wednesday in this city.
Invaded Mom's office in the afternoon. Did some SAT questions as preparation for the placement tests at college soon.

Leaving the city tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
Might as well we go through Shakespeare's masterpiece.

Life's Brief Candle

Insufficient oxygen supply

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

P.s This affects my emotions indirectly.

Tuesday.

The final Tuesday in this city.

High Humidity

I guess I can express my recent emotions with today's weather. But I'm very grateful with everything I have.
Just completed the paperwork/forms. Felt stressed out for a while since I had to be super meticulous about everything.

I'll post something fun, perhaps airport and airplane scenes from the 2nd business trip (since the airport will be revisited in a few days' time) later on.

p.s Off to bed now. Attempting to sleep late and super early as preparation for college's orientation week.

Auf Wiedersehen! For now.

Monday.

The final Monday in this city.
College freshmen-to-be are busy with the final preparations. Including me.
Too much to elaborate about today.
Found my special Black Book and found this. So I'd like to share several artworks by certain people.

Artwork #1

The artist recently turned 85. Quite impressive for that age! I really look up to the artist's determination.

Artwork #2

This artist used to/still despise felines. In my point of view, the subject of the art piece is more like an obituary. No offence.

Artwork #3

An interesting piece for a cartoon-lover. I can visualise the artist's optimistic view of life.


Artwork #4

The piece speaks for itself. Bold and bright. Not that bright, really.

p.s I can't be an art critic. Can't even draw. The best I could do is stick figures. Yet I can't hurt people's feelings as it affects me indirectly.

Dinosaurs.

I remembered learning about dinosaurs during pre-k. Almost everyone chose this as their favourite.

Tyrannosaurus Rex aka T-Rex

But I prefered

The Stegosaurus. Lego Version

Why? The photos of the Stegosaurus shown by the teacher was green. Green used to be my favourite. There's also the Giganotosaurus, Albertosaurus, Diplodocus, Velosiraptors, Parasaurolophus and more.

Actually that's not my point. Sorry for going off course. I get distracted easily, but not all the time.

Let's cut to the chase shall we?
Went 'treasure hunting' and found this.

Dinosaurs.

Remember those? I'm sure that those pattern are off the charts and  are replaced by these

Speaking of pencils, I prefer using pencils while doing Maths in high school. The teacher kept telling us to use pens as it shows that we're more confident. But I prefer not to waste any correction tape and ink, I stick to pencils. Not being superstitious or anything, during the BIG exam last year, Additional Maths Paper 2, I started using pen for the first few questions. I felt very uneasy and was unsure whether I should use the pencil instead. I stopped for a while and let my mind rest. The instructions at the front page of the paper didn't say anything about using pens is a must. So I took the risk and used pencil instead. I immediately experienced a major difference in me. Gratefully, I managed to answer the questions without any weird feeling or anything.

I have no idea why I revealed that story to you.

p.s Hoping that the college administrator will allow me to do placement tests on laptops, my penmanship is in bad condition. I need to go back to pre-k to learn how to write. Pronto!
p.p.s 9 days till college starts, haven't finish packing. Still waiting for the 11th hour to arrive.
p.p.p.s Sorry for the low quality photos. Don't know why.

14.

I was fond with the number 14 before, since 14 is the multiple of 7. I used to be Number 14 in the school's road safety team when I was 14. I think I mentioned 14 too much.

 

Well, that's not the point.
College begins in 14 days. Should I start posting about the things (and the people) that I'll surely miss during college? I'll think about it.

Expelliarmus!

Greetings, Earthlings. I come in peace. Take me to to your leader. Well, that was random.
Let's cut to the chase.

Woke up at 0330hrs, early enough to beat the alarm clock,whilst almost everyone is still drawing maps on their pillow(s). Started the journey to the airport at 0430hrs. Dad tagged along because he wouldn't let me drive. So the back seat belongs to me the whole journey. I really love the scenery and situation along the way. It's still the same minus the vehicles and sunlight. Replace them with the morning mist and fresh air.

The aftermath of yesterday's downpour is still visible.

Reached the airport in less than 30 minutes. Helped to settle the self check-in and luggage. Bid farewell and straight went to the viewing area.

The exterior airport view at 0508hrs:

En route home.

p.s I love airports and airplanes but I dislike farewells.
p.p.s My apologies for the low quality photos.Try not to click on the photos for better resolution. I blame the mist for fogging up my mobile's lens. Seriously. Sorry mist, for blaming you.
