I'm very very bad at religion.

Today my mom sent me to a Pendidikan Islam class for SPM, and well, I didn't understand much. I woke up at like 12 40 pm so I wasn't the most alert either.

I did manage to catch some, and to say I didn't learn anything would be incorrect. I hope to be able to translate what I learnt in Sejarah yesterday into English for my convenience but I haven't gotten around to that.

Anyways, I started A-level math and started Week 4 - Coordinate Geometry. To be honest, I dislike most graphical questions in math because 1) drawing graphs are a hassle, and 2) finding points on a graph are a hassle. They take too much time for my liking.

But anyways, I'm learning about circle geometry at the moment and it's interesting because the equation of the circle is (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2 with r being the radius, and a and b being the x and y coordinates of the center of the circle respectively. Which, when I hear the explanation for the equation itself, is interesting. But I find everything interesting so.

I do like algebra, though. I like problem-solving as well. I just dislike the drawing parts of it.

I just realised.

Apparently, about not being given a speech opportunity for graduation. 

I was supposed to have a speech. They just invited so many people that I was accidentally left out.

I mean, I'm sort of relieved at the fact that I'm not completely useless to the school, and I actually meant something to them, and it wouldn't really make sense for them to leave me out, because 1) I'm a prefect, plus the secretary of the prefect board; 2) I'm one of the top students, and I've given them straight 6.0s for Checkpoint twice; 3) I've been in that school for way too long - 3 years, and 4) I'm a scholarship recipient. 

But now here comes the harder part. The anxiety over making a speech.

I'll have to write one quickly later, because the graduation is in two days, but I trust myself enough, hopefully.

At 5 21 pm I finished the first half of A-level Math module 4. Now I'm writing that speech.

We had dinner, which was some leftovers from lunch. My mom didn't feel up for the drive today since she was in an intense trade, and got kicked out. We still went with it, but the vibe was different (would you call this a qualia too :/). Had a talk with my father after mom and sister went upstairs. It was actually fun though. I told him about my speech. He gave me anecdotes on his school days. Other topics touched on include shampoo and economy. I was also thinking about how INTP his thinking is - makes me feel like an imposter INTP oof.

I spent a lot more time than planned watching YouTube with my sister. We watched the most recent En รณ Clock episode. I really like Jake. As a bias. I find him sort of endearing lol, he's such a SEI although he accidentally blew his cash and won the title of the Flex King. Sunoo, who Jake gave 80 000 won for the item he was selling, won the best salesman, and won the money he earned in gift vouchers. The rest of the members were so envious, lol.

We seem to be getting into Treasure nowadays. Watched some content. Still can't recognize everyone but I can do Jihoon and Mashiho pretty confidently. Yedam was a given since he has unique features and I've already known him since the Skz survival show. Anyways, broadening your horizons are good. 

Regrettably I didn't have a lot of time to do what I planned to do, so I finished the Episteme writeup (here) for today (or yesterday). It took an hour, which was simultaneously too long and too short. Long, because I wanted to finish the entry for today. Short, because compared to yesterday, which extended to like... a few hours, this seems a lot sloppier and desperate oof. Hopefully it suffices for the imaginary readers.

About the speech, I'll finish writing it tonight. Hopefully I wake up early tomorrow, get dressed, take maybe an hour or less for filming, and send it in before 3 pm, maybe. My dad said to me "If they left out your name, maybe it means you aren't important enough to them, so they don't have to be important enough for you too. So I think it should be acceptable for you to send it in late." And you know, I think he's right. I mean, being prepared isn't exactly something the school can pride in, but hey, being in this school teaches you how to do things last minute effectively /j

Alright, that's enough for today, and I should sleep soon. But random list of facts that Reddit taught me today:

- Gary Numan is 13 days older than Gary Oldman

- Ohio is the only state in the US which doesn't contain any letter from mackerel

- (There really should be more) Dolphins gangrape (which I knew)

- Koalas have smooth brains (which I know as well)

- With 5lbs of force, you can pull an ear off. Increase by 2lbs, and you can pull a testicle.

Good night :)

 Sunday. 13th June 2021. Two days after the last day of school and the last day of IGCSE. I made plenty of blogs in the past. None of them I felt confident enough to publicize to the people around me. I guess now that I've graduated I've found a source of newfound confidence. Maybe I want people to get to know things and experience what I will experience. Maybe I want to find a way to connect with the friends I can't find myself to talk to. Either that or I want a record to leave behind. The pandemic messed up my concept of time badly. With this, I'll know what I did every day. So. Today. Yesterday I had an hour-long call with a friend. (I just realised I never thought about name-dropping. Is it allowed to say names here? I won't just for the sake of it I guess) He's wanted me to watch Interstellar for ages. I guess I finally did it. Though at varying speeds (you know that option where you can change speeds? x1.25, x1.5, and x2.0 were my options), since I have a...

Review - SOUR

 With all honesty, I only heard of her recently. And me being the K-pop fan I was, I didn't bother to listen to her. However, a friend recommended me the album. So I thought I should get around to writing my thoughts on it, because it wouldn't be fair if I listened to it without giving my thoughts. (Though with all honesty, nobody ever reviewed my recommendations. It's why I hate recommending - nobody even listens, and false hope isn't very fun.) So, Olivia Rodrigo. I checked out her Spotify and scrolled down her artist bio. She's actually... pretty interesting. She seems pretty nice and friendly, but at the same time she writes her own songs, so I'm glad she has a medium of expression somewhat. I was never a fan of stylized all-lowercase though, but otherwise, she seems like a nice person. 1. brutal Probably my favourite song at first listen, since it stands out genre-wise. Maybe I'm a fan of the rock, but also of her talking way of singing. I don't car...

 Today was a pretty good day. Almost perfect to be honest. So I'll account what happened. I woke up late. But fulfilled. Last night I wrote an analysis of Dino from Seventeen's type, who is an ESTJ 3w4. His Weverse interview is GOLD, there's evidence for all of his functions there. He happened to trend today so I decided to post it after all (I posted it half an hour ago) But I'm really happy with that analysis. I learned new things about ESTJs and how they functioned, and I could see it so clearly in Dino that I could apply them. I was so proud of it, though, that I hesitated to post it. I kept talking to my sister about it. I don't even know why I was so excited over it, but it was the best analysis I had written in a while. So I found an alternative - Reddit. I planned on starting a Kpop typology community with someone, and that analysis seemed like the perfect place to start. But I wanted to share knowledge with PDB, so I was torn. So I decided - write another a...
