Bleh
God I'm bored.
Seriously.
Though these shadows in my eyes aren't helping.
My sleeplessness has been extending into my day to day life too. Been getting increadingly tired when I wake up, and every now and I feel like my body's been doing things while I've been sleeping.
NO NOT THOSE KIND OF THINGS
Anyway, point of the matter is-
Waitaminute, something's tapping on my window, waaaay back in my room while I'm here in the living room. Might be a bird or something. I'm four floors up, you-know-who couldn't possibly be there.
I'll be back in a minute.

School Life
Ugh, school. Not really a nice topic to be talking about, but here I go anyway.
Well, so to better inform the global public about Singapore's schooling system, I shall go into detail on what I'm going through currently.
Every kid that's born in Singapore first goes through kindergarten, just so that they can get basic life skills and education. After that its primary school. Primary school is kinda like grade school in America, where kids from ages 7 to 13 go to school, they learn, play, make friends and stuff. Generally to get into the groove of school life. At the end of the sixth year, we go through a set of exams called the PSLE, or the Primary School Leaving Examinations. These are a set of exams that basically test us to see if we're ready to leave. Our results from this will determine the academic stream into which you will be going into in the next level.
After that, secondary school. Kinda like high school. Here, the teens go through four more years of more advanced studies, and at the end of the four years we sit for a set of exams called O Levels. No idea why they're called that. But the O Levels are basically a series of really, really important exams that can and will determine where we go after secondary school. A bit more in depth into the secondary school system, is that students are also broken up into three different streams: Express, Normal Academic and Normal Technical. The Express stream is for the majority of the primary school students. Normal Acad is for the students that fared slightly worse in their PSLE. Normal Tech is for those that did poorly in PSLE.
After secondary school is tertiary education, in the form of two different types of tertiary institutions: junior college (JC) and polytechnic. These tertiary places are places of further study. JC is simple enough: two more years of studies similar to secondary school, only even harder. Students study here for the two years then graduates. The other side is polytechnic, where students actually study life skills like nursing or animation or programming. They choose a diploma course and then study in the course for three years. After that, they graduate.
After that, well, its two compulsory years of serving in the army for the guys. The girls get it easier, no army for them. xD

Holidays
So yeah, I've been on holiday for two weeks, catching up on sleep and games. Got two late birthday gifts, in the form of Max Payne 3 and Alice: Madness Returns. Two great games from two great friends.
Haven't had the chance to play Max Payne 3, but I did manage to play through Alice. And I have to say: I loved it. After watching a Let's Play of the first game, American McGee's Alice?, I also looked at some videos of Madness Returns. Loved it, been wanting to get it ever since.
I played it over two days, completed it with little difficulty. Loved the art direction, the way the story is told, the picturebook-like cutscenes, even the gameplay.
My holiday was otherwise normal, if by normal you mean still plagued with shadowy visions, loss of sleep and periodic coughing, then yes, my holiday's been normal. I know he's still stalking me, though how far or close by he is, is still a mystery to me. The Nightlanders, confident in naming them now, have been appearing in my vision more now. Perhaps they're warning me of something? Or perhaps their presence is a sign of my continued descent into madness. I'll never know. Such Eldritch things are above me, impossible for mortals to understand.

Its June now
YOU DON'T SAY KEBDOABWFLEPWBSKJA-
*ahem*
Anyways, June is here. In a few weeks, I'll be going for surgery to remove an impacted wisdom tooth. The first of three.
I'm getting alone just fine. And by just fine, I mean thingd are getting worse.
Excuse my spelling mistakes, I have an iPod Touch. And my fat, Asian thumbs + small iPod Touch keyboard = spelling mistakes galore. I realise I've been making a lot in my previous posts, but I don't really bother. People still understand myi posts, right?
Anyways, elaboration: my sleepless nights have returned, speak of the devil. I've been getting stronger and stronger feelings of being watched, and sometimes I catch some shadows that move for a SECOND, before stopping. I've been getting increasingly paranoid, though nothing serious yet. My memory's also been getting poorer, don't know why. I've been forgetting little things like the songs I put into my music player, the homework I'm supposed to do, even things like the day of the week, and the current month.
I'm scared. I really am. I hope nothing else happens and you-know-who loses interest in me.
