The month of October.

CHEE BAI LAN JIAO! It's already October! How fast it seems time goes by this year. October means many things to many different people, for the Germans, Oktober Fest, a month of wild lager chugging which i plan to attend sometime in the future. But for me, October heralds the beginning of the end of a rather lacklustre year, and of course the coming of the long-awaited big 1-8. Not to mention the exams, which will of course be preceded by intense cramming. I can safely say that this year has been a rather quiet one, with many characters missing from last year's portrait. The loud-mouthed and insane Nyh, the unassuming Andrew who seems to be good at everything and good ole' alcohol guzzling Brendan (the Indian one) all of whom are "proudly"(more like cursing and swearing their bums off.....) serving the state in NS. Then there's Morgan, the Monkey Sage, who after making a rather disastrous and i must say ludicrous decision to further his studies in Malaysia finally seemed to remember that he does in fact have a fully functioning brain and that he should give himself a better chance in life by going back to Australia to study. However he seemed to have gotten himself rather lost and confused and ended up in the wrong frakkin' state, instead of Melbourne he ended up in Queensland. So, life has pretty much quietened down abit without these troublemakers around, not to mention gotten a lot more dull. Of course the next time these fellas come over,it'll be my turn to go back for god-damned NS, althought i can safely assume that not many people will even notice i was even there to begin with, although the sudden vacuum of vulgarities might leave the barest hint of my existance to begin with. So we have the month of October, 3 more months left to 2007, 4 more weeks left to my first paper and approximately 2 months before i return to Singapore. Again i wonder what new adventures await me when i return, will i encounter stranger and more insane characters, will there be a "fateful" encounter of sorts? That of course will be a thing of the very near future, the current matter at hand is to of course get myself wasted, one last time, my final act of insane illegal drinking, before i'm finally 18. Let me savour what little of this youth remains, and then after that i guess i'll have to take life more seriously. And of course it'll have to take me more seriously too. And after the drink, it's time to do the cramming of my life, to study like i've not done since the days of the legendary 'O' Level cramming sessions, greater even than that, because this time the stakes are much higher, because this time my future is well and truly on the line. I pray then for the strength and wisdom, to do what must be done.
