Ok today was chinese paper, like I care like that. I only taking chinese for fun so I really don't care how I did, even though many people failed to finish the paper, I'm sure I still lose to them. Never mind, my 2 worst subjects are over - languages. Time to get into form again and be like last yaer SA2 like that for my other 6 subjects! Btw, I don't care english le, no matter what I think, C5, or C6 or B4, the fate is already decided. So I decided not to cry over spilt lactose but instead, prevent other milk from falling down again ( ya I made this up, it's not a phrase). Anyway, can't wait for tomorrow because tomorrow is all fun fun fun! Hope Mr. Lim wins the Teacher Of The Year Award again, because he is a really good teacher but some of us don't appreciate him. Still, I think he should win the award. Then I think got Mr.Cool marist tmr, I think that's a bit lame la, then if i'm not wrong, got some bands playing tomorrow. Oh well, let's see what happens tomorrow. Today in fact, marks my official start of studying. So I think the next time I blog will be after the end of the hard papers which is biology, unless I screw up one of those papers badly again then i'll come and bitch here otherwise i'll be studying. Bye bye.

Screwed up my life and my future

Hey people, I just screwed up my life and my future. If you must know why, it's because I screwed the whole english paper up and that means my L1R5 will probably be 10, provided I work very very hard on my remaining 5 subjects and get an A1 for all of them, but I simply don't have the mood anymore and I don't think I would be able to. I don't understand why! I spent quite a bit of time preparing for english, practicing narratives in my head a few days before the exam and today, the question was sort of ok, but I just drew a blank. For 15 minutes I just stared at the paper, then I started scribbling and 1 hour was up, leaving me 40 minutes to do the speech which I did not plan at all. I forgot the format totally, as in the structure, and I scribbled and scribbled, using correction tape here and there which made a bloody mess. I didn't even have time to check, and went I read through my compositions, I felt like laughing, it was like the work of a primary school kid. It was supposed to be touching but now it sounds comical and funny. Then for comprehension, they asked for a phrase but I forgot and listed the WHOLE sentence down. 2 marks gone. For vocab, truly becomes truely, and insincere becomes unsincere. There was another word which I know but I forgot suddenly. 3 marks gone. Summary? I don't know, I think it was the only section that I didn't screw up. Still, I think it's only mediocre work. Now what? If i'm lucky, i'll probably get B3 for my overall english, if not B4. If I get B4, I'll be utterly disappointed and I don't know... I might get C5, who knows. And there's the possibility of failing like last year's SA2 with a score of D7. I don't want to talk about english anymore. I don't even see the point in studying for the other 6 subjects now, especially since by L1R5 is screwed big time, I don't see the need to go for first 3 months JC anymore. I really lost my drive and don't wish to study anymore. I know what you're thinking, that i'm bitching for nothing because 9 is still good. I know it's good, but i'm sorry you can't change the way I think no matter how right you are. It's not a matter of good or bad, but the fact that I could have done MUCH better, as in 2 more grades up. So ya, please don't tell me that it's still good even though it's good. Anyway, the real fact on why I made such a fuss is because I can't go to VJC anymore and not because 10pts isn't good.

Hi

Okay, so today lessons as usual, then wah, our physics teacher give us RI RGS prelim paper to do, quite hard lor may not even get A. Dunno y give us to demoralise us.. Then hall assembly, I saw some strings player, I don't really like classical music so I thought it was going to be boring. But the music they played was very nice, especially pirates of the carribean, but I still prefer the band version though, especially the snare drum which adds a crisp sound. Then the violin solo was playing czardas, a song that I always hear Fredy playing on the xylophone whenever I go band last time, hear so many times until I oso can play the nice parts, but the voilin guy was fantastic, going at about 190-200 speed, whoa. Then later go home, practice a bit piano, YAY! My hand okay le and I sort of improve even though I never practice for like 4 days lor. Then later go maths tuition then go home then is now already lor. This is probably going to be one of my last post before my prelim starts. Then I would probably be too busy then. Sigh....

In the blink of an eye, 4 years have past. It only seems as I have entered this school just yesterday. Many things have occured and I experienced many things, both positive and negative, which made me sort of a different and better person. And in just a few more months, it would be the beginning of a new chapter in this book we call " Life ", and the closure of another chapter. The very thought of life is already so fascinating, and thinking of the future is even more exciting. I just hope that everything will take its due course in my favour, tough luck though. Just hope that everything goes okay for everyone, even though there might be certain disagreements between me and some people, I wish the goodest luck to all Sec4s in their final conclusion of this chapter of life. Adios, AjiKu~~~ Hajimameshta Sakersuu!!! ^_^

Xian

So Shawn win the css 2 whopee... Was hoping for Benjamin to win though, oh well nvm. Anyway today is the start of the studying season lor. Prelims next week, good luck to all sec4s taking prelims =)

Prelim nearing

Oh well, prelims start next wednesday, the paper is english. You know those holidays, founder days and national day where the whole school goes home early, having half days while the sec4s stayed back for the mock prelim english paper? Well guess what? They were like on July 20+ and August 8th or 9th. The paper was a full english paper, meant to be a gauge for our english prelim. Lo and behold, we received our first section, the composition. Wah!!!! It's like finally lor. And when's our english prelim? Wednesday. And what's the mock prelim for then I ask? Anyway, I got 19/30 for composition which is not really what I want to get. But since the highest was 20 I guess it's ok. So, there were some things about the summary that I really wanted to ask my teacher about because I don't know whether to include examples or not. But I don't think she's started marking the mock prelim exam papers. Sigh. And I'm like ponning english tuition to study for other subjects. Maybe I should have gone to get last minute tips. Anyway, people ask what I do at english tuition because it's like a common sense subject. Well, my english sucks totally when I was in primary school and without it I won't be able to talk like that, so yeah. So yeah, i'm a little bit upset because I don't think I would do well for english, whether prelim or O levels because I don't learn from my mistakes because I don't get my work back so ya,

Xian

Ok. I think this is the longest break from a post so far, which shows how busy I am. Ya, so of course I think all sec 4s are equally busy and thus have not much time to post. Anyway, good luck to all sec 4s preparing for the prelims lor. Btw, I sprained my hand and my writing speed suffers, shit! It's like dam slow lor, if I take ss or geog die liao. Better recover in a few days, or tmr...

Hi

Today, woke up and rolled in bed for 1 hour before really getting up. Xian, study a while then go alumni band. Attendance was well, not really good. No sec 4s and very little sec 3s, no J1s I think. Must because of exams. Anyway, the pieces were very fun, can't wait for the whole band to be there, then even nicer. Then came back, eat then study a little then surf net for fun. Very unproductive today, only studied like bio only, only sec 3 topics up to CA2, very very inefficient. I think I lost my drive to study le, how? Nvm, hope it comes back soon.

Xian

So I guess i'm retaking my chinese, hoping that I can get a B3, maybe A2. Nvm, i'll just hope for the best, after all, I don't lose anything except maybe 10 hours of my life by taking prelim and the 'O' level paper. So these few days has been quite ok, still a bit bored at school, and the bio syllabus is finally finished, at last. I think left 1 more page on genetic engineering but still it's finished. Stupid stupid OCD, I had to wait until the syllabus was finished until I can start revision on bio, now left what? 10 days to prelim? Haha, and I never even did anything on english despite what I said a few months ago. I think i'm placing emphasis in the wrong areas. I have been doing a.maths prelim papers, but for what? I have always been scoring A1s for it, not boasting or anything but that's my only subject which an A1 is more or less confirm. Instead, I should work on english and combined humanities, and a little on triple science. However, I spent all my energy on chemistry on physics.... Not really a wise choice I should say, but let's just hope everything turns out for the better. Singapore is really small. I can't say why because I promised him not to. Oh well, live goes on.

Hi

So, today I was looking forward to PE lesson because I heard that we were playing dodgeball, then end up all PE teachers never come, only Mr. Nicholas Koh so end up PE just stay in class and do work, then Ms Tan come and give us physics test. Then after school, went to staff training room to update CCA record, and I got 30 points woot! A1!! And still haven't finished updating lor, should be 32-35 after adding other stuff. So I guess those juniors in band who wanna think of quitting, I suggest not. Because I have friends in like library, chess, all the quite slack CCAs getting D7s and Cs only. Those who get As are band, chinese orchestra, lion dance. Even some from uniform groups get D7 la. Then after that go home le lor. Today the most free periods xia, 2 period of pe, ss free period as teacher never come, then english since oral finish, teacher gave us a break lor. So today got like 10 periods, 4 free periods 6 lessons. Then end up just copy homework like crazy haha. Don't look at me, I was doing my own work =)

English Oral

Heck chinese results la.. English Oral Rocks!!! The picture and passage was average, not hard not easy. But still, I did well for the reading, although I made 2 little mistakes. could become should and sth else which I forgot. I managed to vary my tone. Then picture discussion, all the questions I spotted came out so I just answered them back as prepared. I actually had 20 mins to prepare. 10 mins with the paper, and 10 mins while waiting for my friend to finish. So during the last 10 mins, I thought about the possible conversation questions and guess what? They all came out!! So I guess i'm quite lucky because all the questions they asked for picture description and conversation, I already prepared beforehand, yay! I think I did well for english oral. Most likely 30+. So i'm happy =)

Some tips for english oral which I find dam useful:
1) Check the tone of the speaker for reading
2) Read slowly but not too slow because we also speed up when we are nervous due to the release of adrenaline

3) Spot and prepare very possible questions beforehand for the picture description.
4) Don't stop talking and just keep spamming with sensible answers.

5) Spot and prepare very possible questions beforehand for the conversation.
6) Don't stop talking and just keep spamming with sensible answers.

Just my 2 cents.

B4

B4. A B4 for Chinese O Level. Happy? Sad? I feel indifferent. Anyway, assuming I attained 62, that's 124/200. I got merit for Oral surprisingly so let's say it's 26/40. I obtained 16/20 for listening. Meaning I obtained 82/140 for paper 1 and 2, which is 41/70 average for paper 1 and 2. I thought I would obtain about 46 average because I thought I did well for composition. So obviously I screwed up paper 1 and 2 so I have a good chance of obtaining B3 and better if I retake. This is the next part. National average for distinction is 20%, compared to last year of about 45%. Obviously the standards have been raised. My class only got 5 As, I thought at least 8-10. So since my paper 1 and 2 is screwed, and not oral, I MIGHT consider retaking.

Hi

Yay, today I finally managed to study for a bit, after being sick for like 5 days and hence not studying for these few days due to moodlessness ( this is very important, refer to previous post). Then I guess tomorrow will be a fun day I hope, because we're receiving the CL O level results, I am seriously vey vey disappointed in my school. They did not inform us that the results will be out tomorrow, and I had to actually ask my friends from the other better schools. I wonder if my school would tell us when the O level paper is, when the results will be out , and I don't think so. I know my school's standard is already very low, Band 6 or 7 is it? But I didn't know it was so low until they can't even tell us when the results will be out. Apparently my friends from TKGS, Catholic High, SCGS, and other GOOD schools told their students, I guess you know where to group mshs under, yeah? Especially with a new insane philosopher, mshs is going to change for the obvious. Still, I can only hope that the resuts will not be out tomorrow, otherwise, my image of my school will really go down. Oh wait, it can't go down any further. Anyway, I hope to get B3. I know i've said this many times, but u know, I suddenly feel like getting A1. But oh well, truth is the truth, if I get B3 then it shall be B3. If results come out tomorrow, I guess a lot of my classmates will be in shock because their friends didn't tell them because they assumed that the school will obviously tell students something as important as this. So when the CL HOD Mr duno what announces that the results will be out tomorrow, I guess many people will make noise and curse the school, then Mr.Kwok will obviously preach his philosophy and I guess ask everyone to stay back during recess. Sigh. Argghhhhhh!! Y didn't I work hard during PSLE? Y was I playing RUNESCAPE during PSLE!!!!! FK FK FK FK FK FK!!!!!

Hi

So, today woke up and didn't have the mood to study so I didn't study. Having the mood to study is very very important. If you don't have the mood, you're only wasting your time if you study. Then I went band looking forward to trying out those cheem pieces, ended up playing hymn only. Guess what, the percussion parts all never arrive. Dunno is it composer forgot or what. Then later, going out for dinner with my parents as my aunt from canada came to visit singapore. So I guess I won't be studying at all today.

Outing

Ok, Simpsons was hilarious!! Those under immense stress and got nothing better to do, go watch ba. Every like few minutes the whole theatre would be filled with laughter lo.. The movie dam funny and quite emotional some parts, I nearly teared. Ok, anyway the outing was a bit pathetic, only like 5 ppl went? Me, Justin, Jia Fu, Clement Chew and Bryan Oh. Went pastamnia to eat then dropped pizza on the floor, then went watch movie then go arcade. At the arcade got this dam weird person, he sit at the street fighter for like 20 mins pressing the buttons as if he was playing but he WASN'T PLAYING!! Omg!! The 2 machines were identical lor, his machine and the one beside him, it was the advertisement or sth, then he was so engrossed for 20 mins!! Pressing the buttons and fiddling with the manouevere stick or whatever... Omg.. Always when I go near orchard road, I always see marists. Today I thought was the first time cause I never see any, then went we went to dhoby ghaut mrt station, we saw 2 marists. Guess my theory was right =)
And I finally reached a conclusion as to where the flu in my class came from. It came from JEPHTATH!!! Your cum tissues la, never throw properly. I turn around my face at ur tissues le. Then Bryan Oh said he sit beside Jephtath then kena flu next day.. Pls throw your cum tissues after use next time k?

Hi

I hope no one got offended by some previous posts of mine, because I do not intend to show off, definetely not. I always think of other people's feelings before I say something about my results, even though sometimes in class I may appear not to but it's because I know you won't feel anything but just laugh. I dunno whether some people think I am hao lianing or not, but I am just penning it down, so I can like just read them back when I am super xian, k?

Yesterday's national day parade was a bit xian, after watching for half an hour I went to do my work le, so boring la, the costumes I dunno waste how much money le, some more the little kiddies is like...

Anyway, later i'm going out with some friends to watch Simpsons. I dunno y I agreed la, because I planned to do some work, bio in fact, and simpsons is like so childish. Nevermind, I guess i'd take a break for now.

I'm still excited about monday's chinese o level results. I swear if I get a B3 I will be very happy. A2 even more happy and A1 even more happy lor. But die die must at least B3!!

Oh ya, i'm cured from fever le, but still a bit sore throat, hope by this week 100% ok le, because I have oral next week !! Argh!

Hi

Yesterday, I slept from 2pm to 8pm because I felt sick, and I dreamt of weird stuff, in fact very very weird stuff. I dunno y I never dream so often when i'm not sick but when I'm sick like these few days, I have dreams like everyday. I dreamt of going to school at 7am and then go arcade cause it was still early, then end up we got lost?? Then missed the bio exam or something. I also dreamt that some people came into my class and bullied us and they were very gigantic people, then somehow I became harry potter's friend. Ok nvm, anyway I woke up at 8pm yesterday and felt better. But I couldn't sleep at all! I think I slept at like 1 am . And of course, I dreamt again. I think the subconscious mind is weaker when we are physically weaker too, allowing these dreams to come in. Anyway, today is national day, like I give a damn anyway. The only reason I like national day is because today and tomorrow is a holiday =) and not because of what loyalness and patrioticness to the country, bleh. I feel much better but am " not out of the woods yet " ( only sec 4s will understand ), I hope i'm fully revived by tomorrow.

Hi

Ok, today was lame and a bit fun. I forgot that the band was playing for today's national anthem and school song, but I guess they did a very good job, but a bit fast to sing. And I hope that the trumpets were playing staccato on purpose because there was like no slurs. Then it was so lame lor, I went to explore the games but all were all so diaoz la, like primary school thing so I just went back to class and eat and talk and crap lo. Then later that was mock english exam which was quite hard. Then came home and I checked ntrix and I only got 26.5/40 for the chem test.... Wdf.... But I guess it's ok because i'm 2nd in the express stream. Still having a mild headache, fever, and flu. It better be cured by my oral english exam next tuesday. And chinese O level results coming out on Monday!! B3 !!!! Here I come!!!

Hi

Today got back Prelim 2 Oral results for english, finally. I got 31/40, dunno whether to be happy or not.Even though it's one of the highest, or hightest in class, it is still quite low. Oh well, just got to pia my paper 1 and paper 2. I am officially down with the fever and flu and sore throat, so ya, I think today's chem test is so screwed because I didn't study.

Monday

Today was fun! English, then maths, then double chem, all quite relaxed. Then after recess, physics is relief teacher, then for RME, the whole of sec 4 level squeezed into the music room and do some bullshit stuff, lah, the "teacher" in charge is the school councillor, kong dunno what la. Ask us to sit down and close our eyes, and focus on drinking pure water, letting the energy surge through us and dunno what rubbish la, she said do this can pass exams. LOL la, like I do that kind of rubbish, I think because of that I got headache now. Then she asked us to picture a fountain, then my friend go picture nak** people bathing, wdf? Then later hall assembly talk about poly and I don't know what he's talking about, might be his accent ba, G becomes Z. Then later my friends played some lame game on the computer, called the impossible quiz, seems quite fun but lame.

No Band

This was like the first saturday in months that I spent the whole day at home. It was quite boring because usually, my saturdays are always spent banding and then going out with band ppl to eat. Oh well, next week onwards got alumni le yay. So instead I just stayed at home, surf net, sleep a while and study lor... Nothing much. I just realised my life is starting to get boring, all prelim fault la, never mind. Endurance, after O Level I will go do anything I want haha, including learning Japanese because my family might be going Japan for holidays. Hajimameshta!!! Sekersu!!!

Sickness

Gee I already post today so why am I posting again? One word, bored, and guilty of it. I never did any work today, except playing piano. Oh well, I need a break anyway. So, it seems like many people are falling sick. Out of half of the blogs I go to, there are people sick. Gee, I don't know, is it prelim stress? CA2 stress? I don't think so, maybe it's post concert syndrome, yes that must be it. Boring, waiting for the taxi to come now.

Chinese O Level

Well, apparently I heard that the Chinese O level results are coming out this monday. However, I am certain that it would come out next next monday as I heard this from all my friends from other schools. How come I don't know? Gee, I wonder if you know what my school is. If it's really next monday, then I guess you-know-what's school is really sucky. But chances are it's out next next monday because which sane school wouldn't tell the students if it's like the next schooling day? So my conclusion is that O level results are coming out on 13th august, next next monday. I need that B3!! That's the minimum grade which would make me happy. If I get A2, or A1, which is almost impossible, good lor. I swear that I would not retake chinese whatever my grade is, unless I get Merit/ Distinction for oral and like C5-C6. Otherwise, if I get B3 or B4, I will not retake it no matter what the chinese teachers say. My chinese sucks and I know it, so I will not be persuaded to retake and waste my money and time on a subject I absolutely hate just to maybe perhaps increase my grade to B3 or A2 by a measly grade just to increase the school's overall performance. I shall do my part in all other 7 subjects but NOT chinese. Quite demoralised now, it seems that I am not doing as well as I should. My chemistry got like 60%, 50% for the past 2 tests, although the highest local is 80% and 60% respectively, I am still quite unsatisfied, gone were the times when I was more or less first, guess I need to study harder.

Boring

These past few days has been quite normal la, monday nothing special, tuesday oso, today oso, just that I managed to find out the shortcut for the 2.4km route, I estimate that one would save 200-300m. Not really much but I guess it's still ok. Lucky DK in china, so me and my friends took the short cut, and then instead of running from the spca up, we sneaked in from the primary school haha, we waited until someone go in then we quickly go in then try to avoid being caught, so fun. Oh and I saw a snake while running through the forest, I think it's harmless, it is like 1m long but 2cm thin. Ya lor, then that's it lor, apart from the many papers I still have to do. 2005, 2006 chem and physics o level, and more maths stuff, wadeva..
