A cruise, a rest, and a job.

The GCE A Levels is over, but let's just say that I've got too much time on my hands right now since the 2nd December.

Shortly after the prom night, a couple of outings and all that, I flew off to Mars via a vessel to the Bermuda Triangle.

...Alright, I'm bullshitting. Actually I just went with my family out on a cruise getting stuck in limbo out at sea while the cruise is sailing towards nowhere for two days before returning back to Singapore. Food was good, no doubt, and there was pretty good entertainment down there, from jugglers to riskful acrobat acts, and freezing swimming pool water to comfortably warm jacuzzi pools, and of course, the average Singaporean's favourite - the Mediterranean buffet. How could we miss such good stuff?

Uh. Maybe that one wasn't the best after all - there was supposedly better food out at the Chinese restaurant and the Bella Vista fine diners'. Anally strict rules on footwear at the diners' caught Uncles Steven and Kelvin and I off guard, and we ended up eating at Blue Lagoon, which served coffee-shop fare for extraorbitant prices for dinner on the second day. Tch.

Chocolate party sent us off on a chocolate wastage spree - I thought I was grabbing for the entire table of 9 when I came back to see another 3 plates filled with chocolate mudpies, cheese cakes and more chocolate stuff. It grew quite nauseating after we were downing about an entire plate of chocolate pastries and still having more where those came from. And finally, I'm hearing new upbeat music on this Christmas voyage party onboard the cruise. Nice!

After the trip, I thought I'd get myself a job, and a few days later I got what I wanted. Though it isn't much, and I'm doing shit work for shit pay, the people are quite nice - a good 3 of them were A Level students as well, waiting for results just like me, and the full-time workers weren't the barbarian cargo shifters we were led to believe from all the culture of academic excellence and being out there in a world of good mommy's pampered boy. Screw those - it's the real friggin' world out there, and I like what's going on out there. Finally, something to cut me loose from the chains of having to be obedient to the elders and all that bullshit and start exercising some good common sense - if I stayed in that state any longer I'd be rotting away sooner or later.

Work life is definitely better than that in the house, anyhow. Except for the fact that I am still doing shit work for shit pay when I could be getting better pay and more employee benefits at the current qualification I have right now. Ah well, at least I've got a place to start somewhere... Keeping positivity a priority for now, let's hope it stays that way for now.

This blog was dead, is alive, and will be more alive from now on.

God, it's been a helluva time since I've been back in this blog. And everything seems so... different. Things have been happening, got myself into some mess every now and then, and for some reason I just seem to crawl outta that heap of junk unscathed. Sometimes.

Well anyways, finally I'm outta the A Level monster that's biting everyone and giving them a big pain in the ass. A brand new lease of life awaits - no more disturbing college mumbo-jumbo, and no more examinations. How good is that? Priceless experience, really.

It's time to give this blog a revamp. It looks old and rusty, people'll think someone threw this blog out there in the rain for several years to rot. Until then, there's so much more things to do, yet just too much time to do them. Yeah, you heard me right. Too much damn time to do some useless but enjoyable stuff that I'd otherwise be unable to enjoy. Finally, I get a taste of true freedom.
