I'm so busy... but I'm still bored

As stated in the title, I've been very busy for the past few weeks. But the main point is, I'm busy with things that I'm not interested in...
Firstly, I'm very busy with Project Work... There's this Evaluation of Material thing that constitutes only about 6.67% of my project work grade but requires me to spend 3 friggin hours of my life to do it (and still counting)... Then again, I heard that most of my friends spent more than 5 hours on it to my delight =) ... I don't really care much about my PW grade but I have to waste lots of time on it, even if I have to submit a lousy piece of assignment...
Secondly, I'm busy with the loads of General Paper homework... My new GP teacher gives soooo many assignments and threatens to give more if we don't complete them.. Now every week I have to cut out some weird newspaper articles and give comments on it. In case you didn't know, I'm an arch-enemy of the newspapers, and have quarreled with my parents several times as they always wanted me to read newspaper... I will seriously fall asleep within 10 minutes if I were to really sit down and concentrate on reading newspaper...
I'm also busy with LEO Club activities (not really)... The Installation & Induction ceremony required me to memorise the sign language of a song L.O.V.E by Nat King Cole WITHIN ONE WEEK... obviously enough, I couldn't be bothered to remember all those sign language and preferred to camouflage within those who could really do it.. Some time after that, I had to contact the primary school kiddywink whom I'm supposed to tutor for an appointment with him though this was mostly done by janet
Lastly, I'm busy with the renovation of my house... It's so friggin irritating that every weekend, which are my supposed leisure time, I have to help my parents to renovate the house by shifting furniture, arranging things blahblahblah...

As for JCT results, I'm lazy to post everything here, but I got AAAC/S/C in the order PCMG/G.P./C.L. ... Quite expected for me to sub-pass GP since newspapers and magazines (Times, Broader Perspectives) are usually chucked aside while I read my manga... Sub-passing GP doesn't really motivate me to read more, for goodness sake haha... If I fail it in promos then too bad lo I can go get retained...
My biggest achievement is that I passed geog and even got 4th in level for it (out of of 50+ students only =.=)Like omg?? I don't even know how I managed that... Even though I did study a lot of geography during the holidays, I didn't expect to do so well...

That's all for the post, bye-biii

June Common Test's over!! ... soon...

2 days before JianLiang's last test in the highly notorious TJCT, he finally found the mood to write a post in this nearly forgotten blog. During the June holidays, JianLiang had been reading up a lot on geography so as not to write a bloody 1 page essay that has happened before (though he's happy that Mr Charles Elwin didn't give him back the test paper... yet...) and also because his parents were nagging and bitching at him every single day in his June holidays.

Of course, rather than studying for the JCT 24/7 which is like meaningless and boring, JianLiang has also been concentrating in leveling up his maplestory character (which is also why his parents nagged so much). As a result of his hard work, he painstakingly brought his priest to 4th job (aka bishop). Such an irony, though, that JianLiang chose to play a job that is so closely related to religion despite being a free thinker (or maybe atheist). However, he find that this job in maple is most suitable for him as he prefers supporting (and magic) to brutal combat (though maple's killing mode isn't that brutal...). Some of his dishonest and sly classmates commented that it's easy to reach that level using bots and hacks... Such illegal progams are not even within his reach, and JianLiang will definitely not use them as using them will bring smiles to the hackers who apparently destroyed many maplers lives by "confiscating" their items and money as payment for the hack...

During the June holidays, JianLiang was not able to go out often because he apparently ran out of money because his parents refused to pay him for all the notes and stationeries he paid for with his meagre allowance...
After the June holidays, the much awaited June Common Test has begun, with the first paper being his worst of the worst subject... Surprisingly, JianLiang managed to write a 2 page essay for both questions (each), and hereby concluded that he improved by 100% ever since the last essay test.. Most of the tests that JianLiang did were held in the air-conditioned classroom (which is good) except CHINESE LANGUAGE, where the classroom was so warm!! Sheeesh, the thick material used in the school uniform didn't help at al!!

Lastly, JianLiang would like to thank the Singapore Examination Assessment Board for robbing him of his only chance to get an award from Tanjong Katong Secondary School... What a perfect coincidence that his GCE 'A' Level Chinese Language Oral Examination falls on 15th July, which is the speech day for his secondary school, and also the day of release of Harry Potter: Half-Blood Prince's sneak preview. Hopefully, the oral examination will end before the gossip club members go and watch the sneak preview, or JianLiang will really "love" SEAB, and the language, for eternity...

Ciao (which means later in japanese Italian I guess)--- thanks to wanchen for pointing it out
