A little report from the linguistic mind here...

Privyet= Hi

zdrastvuytye= Hello (Formal)

paka= Bye

da svidaniya= Farewell (Formal)

Kak Dela= How are you?

Kak vas Savut= What's your name?

Yea! I learnt something!

A Zor Gong tries to be successful...

EXAMS!!!

Oh, it is this time of the year again... The revision, the exams, the stress! Sigh... And of course, not forgetting the ever-piling pressure from my friends and teachers... I don't feel like talking to one of my friends cause he just said that I would fail! I gotta stop this... I'll show them that I'll surpass them in the 2nd half year!

Zor Gong... Zor Gong... Oh, heck care...

"On-the-contrary" Drama?

Today, after the bloody tears I shed from Math Olympiad (Seriously, the questions are enough to make you cry), there was a bout of my favorite activity: DRAMA!!! Finally, a moment of peace, un attimo di pace! I walked in to hear about my character for the upcoming drama night. The answer: A really cool boy whom a lot of girls have a crush on.

I am not saying I am exceptionally ugly; it is just that I am not fit to be in the role. Girls don't chase after me; I chase after them! But, what am I to do? In the NAME OF DRAMA, I have to do what I do; hide behind my character, however absurd it may seem. A serious Zor Gong suddenly becomes into the cool-looking, current, tuff Bryan? The change is possible, but tedious.

A Zor Gong... Becomes Bryan?

Meditation... Relaxation...

Today I attended a course on effective learning. One of the components is Relaxation. I don't want to describe everything to you, but, it has really nice effects.

The aim was to achieve an Alpha to Theta brainwave in the mind. Most of the time, we are working in Beta brainwave. The exercise was so... indescribably effective. I feel really at peace for the first time, and on a private beach where all your best memories are hidden there, right below you on the sands. I wished that would go on forever, but I knew it couldn't have. I thought it was only 15 minutes into the exercise when an hour passed. Amazing but true.

A Zor Gong needs to meditate some time...

I haven't told you how my russian was going, did I? Oh, a lack of time for the language, but I am trying to get the best out of this. So far, I can only learn "Privyet" (Hi) and a few other sentences, but not much. I am seriously trying to get the lessons under my belt. However, my Malay seems to be picking up quite well (There is a Conversational Malay Programme at my school). Should I make the change to Malay... better not. 4 languages is still a puny number to the one who found the Rossetta Stone.

Zor Gong speaks anything. Even trash.

Now... a Report from Zor Gong...

Well, things are still going better than expected... not quite. I dare say it has been a lot more challenging nowadays than before. I guess this is Sec 2 life. Firstly, my grades have been going down by alot and that doesn't help my growing need of sleep. Secondly, my drama sessions are going down because of math olympiad. Yeah, I know, the honour of getting to such a competition but, I can't live on 10 minutes of drama per week! It'll drive me crazy. Thirdly, I start to get more and more duties from the church. Have I told you how much christianity irks me? Get a picture of a person who is forced to go to church blended with his job of controlling the sound system of the church (Hey, we are living in the 21st century). It really irritates me when I have to be at church when I don't need to. Gee, I am having less and less time. How can I pour out my feelings so regularly here? Sigh...

Is the Zor Gong not carefree anymore?
