What happens now?

Ok, so now the EOYs have offically ended for me. Last Thursday. One day late after all Bio EOY because I have the NORMAL Chinese Paper. Actually it's not so bad, considering I don't have to take anymore exams this year, giving me infinitely more fun, laughter, peace and joy compared to those people who take HCL.

It strikes me that after the examinations this year, there is no true joy in completing it, unlike the previous years where the extremity of the celebrations is overwhelming. So the question is (if you haven't realized): What happened? The answer is elusive. I don't know, but it seems to me that there is no longer the exhilaration of completing some examinations when either 1: there are many more to come, or 2: there are too many times I've experienced something like that before (which is true, considering that the Raffles Programme is screwed up to a large large extent, to the point of perversion). Been there done that, I suppose.

So after the celebrations, another major issue surfaces: the holidays are coming. So what am I, a person who has devoted a whole 4 years of his life to a useless syllabus, to do during the holidays? Should I do what I have always done with the past few holidays? (2004: Ragnarok Online, 2005: Maplestory, 2006: DoTA) Or, on the other hand do something actually worthwhile since no worrying is involved this time about the new life that I am (really) unconcerned with next year? (Yes, it's going to be the same old, same old.)

What is actually worthwhile today? As I write here, my brother is on the other PC next to mine, playing DoTA. Apparently, there is a sense of accomplishment involved when he wins a game, and the opponent(s) lose(s). But the crux of it all is, is it really worthwhile? Just like reaching level 99 on Ragnarok, or level 200 on Maplestory (and inadvertently losing some many brain cells in the process), the question is what have you (or I, for that matter) really done with that amount of time you had on your hands?

So now, I contemplate upon what I have now, and what I am going to do for the next two months.
1: I have approximately 100 bucks to spare.
2: I have a pair of drumsticks and the relevant skill.
3: I have paintbrushes and pencils and MORE relevant skill.

It seems to me that I can do a painting in the next two months. At least a 0.8 by 1.0 canvas. Or, I can go to my friend's house to practice on drums as often as I can (I hope, LOL). Or stay on the computer for the rest of the year (which I obviously deem as a stupid and irrelevantly generic answer for the similarly generic dickhead behind another generic computer screen, hohoho).

How I ramble. So I end with many important questions unanswered and waiting to be (by the time the holidays actually start, I hope). Contemplations, decisions and what not.
