VJC. Band or not?

Ok, I've submitted my JC application le. First choice is VJC Science. Now, another decision is subject combination and whether to join band or not? Let's tackle subject combination first. I've got these few in mind.

1) Maths Chem Bio Econs
2) Maths Chem Bio Geog
3) Maths Chem Geog Econs

Haiz... I guess I've gotta ask around and find out what people are taking.
Then for band, I thought that I might join band. But I found out that VJC is a Gold With Honours Band. Haiz... Now gotta think more carefully. It won't be that fun if the standards there are too high. There will be more practices to maintain their standards. I don't know la.. Zzzz. Another alternative to band will be the Strategic Gaming Club ( Aka Dota Club ), and the Student Council. Decisions decisions decisions...

Which JC???

I know many people know I want to go to VJC. Ok, but to be honest I don't mind going to AJC, NYJC, and I certainly wish to go to RJC. Ok, ok I know I'm too lousy for RJC. BUT, what do these JCs have in common? Smart! They are all very near my house! RJC is only a 10 mins bus ride away, NYJC is walking distance, AJC is quite near oso. VJC leh? OMG It's a freaking 40 min bus ride!!! Unfortunately, there is this mysterious opposing force like friction in our daily lives, parents. Like Lenz's Law states, " The induced decision of one's parents, and hence the induced consequences will always be such as to oppose the decision of a person."
My father keeps telling me that bla bla bla better schools have better results. True, but u know y? BECUZ, the good students are in there!!!

If I go to other JC and continue to work hard, I don't see y I would have different results in other better JCs. Ok fine, no AJC no NYJC. How about RJC? I didn't tell my parents about this, but actually when I dsaed, it wasn't a total failure. They told me to appeal during PAE if I had good prelim scores, and they would not need a reaudition, and would have a higher chance of appealing succesfully. If I told my father this, he will surely ask me to appeal and bla bla bla. But I don't want to be tied down to band ok? I assume that 7 is 'good' since it's just 1 mark away from the perfect score. Ok, fine. Let's assume I get into RJC for PAE. Consequences???

1) Kena discriminated, looked down upon, " Wah lau, 7-pointer still want come RJC? No sense of shame." NOOOO I hate that I tell you I HATE THAT!!!!!!! I'll never be a truck, NEVER!!!

2) Tied down to band. Gosh who knows what will happen? I don't think I'm going to join band in JC, waste so much time and will make my results go down.

3) 10% of the ppl takes chinese. "Bye everyone, I gotta stay in school for 2 more hours to study a language which is made up of messy lines." ZZZZ.

Despite these consequences, the fact that the school is a mere 10 minute from my house makes it so appealing. Just think of all the time I would save... I would save like 40 mins a day traveling!!!! Di Wei, u said u saw my blog b4. If u see this then say sth!!! Tell me rafflesians aren't liddat, if they're all like u I will appeal until my lungs burst!!

HOW HOW!!! Anyway I think I'll still put VJC as first choice, and I won't appeal I guess... But I don't want to enter VJC half-heartedly, that would be very stupid. Oh well, I still have 2-3 more days to think about it.

EDIT: I finally got an epiphany!! I'll just console myself that the time saved from travelling to VJC a week is equal to the time lost at 1 band practice in RJC. Becuz there is just NO way I am joining band in VJC becuz they are GOLD WITH HONOURS!!! AHHH!!! All right, I'm quite happy now. Now here's to hope that I'll get into VJC for PAE!!

Lalala

Yesterday was quite fun, 4B outing, but I'm paying the consequences now...

So Gavin "organised" this trip, but he didn't turn up until many many hours later. So we arranged to meet at harbourfront mrt at 12pm. Ended up only 13 ppl came, pathetic. Then went to eat at Long John Silver where we met Zihao, so it's 14 ppl. Later that we separated into 2 groups. 1 to sentosa and 1 to go LAN. Ended up only 8 ppl go to sentosa. Amandus, Clement Lee, Clement Chew, Bryan, Wei Xiang, Zheng Hao, Justin and yours truly. Ended up walking around and that Amandus and Lee wanted to play soccer. I was like NOOOO I can't play for nuts. Anyway, in the end I played anyway. On the sand, barefoot ouch.. After playing for like a while some were tired, so we played walking soccer, which was the same as normal soccer just that you can't run, only can walk. Actually, soccer can be quite fun. But I don't have the stamina for it, furthermore our school the players all so pro one, play only embaress myself. So when I played with like complete newbs it was fun haha. Except Amandus, Lee and Justin who were like pro lor.

Later, we went to rent bicycles. I was afraid that I can't cycle becuz the last time I cycled was in sec 1. Luckily I still could. Then Lee took a lousy bike, which chain broke down halfway!! So we returned it to the fat man but he wanted Lee to pay $20, zzzz. Like he broke it on purpose. Pls lor fatty, use ur brain. Who wants to pay $5 an hour just to argue with u? U think we break the chain on purpose for what? Stupid fatty, the fat go into his brains liao. So anyway, we just argued and then left lor. Poor fatty said he watned to make a report. Whatever lor, ke xiao fatty, I gave you the wrong number loser.


Then about 5:30pm we went back to vivocity to meet the rest of the class. Then went to Pastamania to eat. This time got like 20 ppl. Still very pathetic. But then the PRC scholars could not come becuz they had to pack to go back to china in like a few daysm or is it today?Then after that walk walk walk want to watch movie but all the shows start at 9pm zzz. So went to the arcade and played some games. Yang Sheng played the para para which was hilarious la. He got first some more, as in the high score. Then at about 8pm+ we all went home liao. ZZZ I was quite tired lor, but my father fetching my sister from tuition so I had to walk home myself. Then I went to sleep immediately at 9pm+ But ended up sleeping at 12am... Now I have muscle aches and a few blisters, zzzzz.

Yay

Woot!!! O Levels are over!!! I don't want to talk about how I did, but I'll give a predicted guess for my L1R5, 8. Well, let's see what happens. Today was so funny lor, the last paper bio mcq, finished in 1 hour then those got extension got another 15 more mins. Then some teachers very impatient so took the paper from them when got 5 mins left lor, then Mr Chew, the chief examiner said " All dismissed" and we were like all WOOT!!!! Ahhhh It's all over. 10 years in Maris Stella High School, I'm gonna miss it haha.

p.s. this post is going to be super long so don't bother reading, I'm just ranting and am very excited about the end of O levels haha.

So now I can officially play computer without feeling guilty, yay. Now let's see, after bio mcq everyone dispersed quickly to play. So I just tagged along with Justin, Bryan and Clement. Went to this super ulu ulu place called thomson plaza to eat burger king. Then go Justin's house to play XBox. Wah the games very fun lor, I regret not buying the playstation le. becuz last time my father asked if I wanted a playstation for my birthday becuz at that time it was very popular. I just said no becuz only got me playing at home ma, and oso very mafan to set up( I'm dam lazy btw). Then I had to left at 4:30 becuz I had piano lessons. OMG after 1 month of not practicing properly, I have to re-memorise 4 pieces... My hand become so numb le. Cannot do trill, run, play softly and smoothly, and the super hard part for the Rhapsody that I spent weeks practicing to get it right is all FORGOTTEN ARGH!!!!! Gosh!!! I ended up doing sight reading just now, haiz... got to practice more. Then percussion, I tried playing the basic beat the other day. I cannot go beyond like 150 b4 stumbling, OMG!!!! And my roll is so sucky. I never touched a pair of drumsticks since like 2 months ago... no wonder so suck. paradiddle, flam ( fast one lor duh) and other things all cannot do le, got to start practicing again. wow, i still can't believe that the O levels are all over. It's like a feeling you can't say. Like imagining carrying a heavy brick on your back for 4 years, and then now you just throw it away liddat. Even though I didn't perform up to my standards, NO REGRETS. NO REGRETS. I studied to the best of my capability and possibility ( Of coz fake lah), and so whatever will be will be.

10 years in Maris Stella is all over. I still remember the first day I came to maris stella in primary 1. I couldn't write my chinese name. I did numerous bad things in primary school, I dont' know how I became so guai now lor. For example, I always cheat for spelling, and in primary 3, I wrote 'FU** you garrett, jeremy, aaron' those were my classmates lor. I wrote it on a piece of paper then planted it in someone's pencil case and told the teacher. He ended up getting scolded o.0 Then I went into a truck class in primary 5 and 6. All the worse EM2 and some EM3 students inside. This was becuz I was nv good in languages. I only got band 1 for maths, and science I think band 2-3. Pls lor, primary school science is like so lame, I can't even be bothered to study. So in the truck class I kena bullied a bit lor, insulted and blablabla. Who cares you fcuking losers, I don't give a shit now anyway. So basically why I did well in secondary school is because I wanted attention, and to stop all these insults by being like the best.

YES. I admit I like to seek attention, haha. But don't worry, it's not bad .. I think. So that's y I wanted very badly to do well in secondary school, and I guess when u really want to do well, u will just naturally do well lor. So ya, try to really want to get that A1, and u will get it. Study hard, focus hard, all are rubbish actually. You MUST want to get that A1, if not no matter how hard you study, most likely you won't get it... Yup, that's how I got through secondary school. Pathetic? Well that's for me to judge, it's my life.

And to the many teachers that contributed to my "success" in secondary school, I really owe all of you a lot. ALL my teachers, sec 1 -4 I really appreciate them. Even though sometimes they might PMS, I think in the end they really want us to do well. Here's a tribute to all my Sec 4 teachers.

Ms Koh ( English ): Hmm, very knowledgeable about word use, word choice and have done a good job in improving ( I stress IMPROVING) my english, thank you very much.

Mr Chua ( Chinese ): Actually, I hated chinese very much( Not that I like it now). But thanks to your stories, lame or not, I managed to at least get thourgh that boring period. Thank you very much.

Mr Lim ( Maths ): WOW! Super good teacher and very dedicated. Thank you ver much.

Mrs Tan-Chin ( SS ): Yay, can teach everything clearly and very humurous too! Even though I still can't write conclusions... Still, Thank you very much.

Ms Foo ( Geog ): A veteran in geography, and a walking geography encyclopedia. Even though very niao and strict in marking, and ur predictions sorta screwed me up, still thank you very much. Marking like 300 scripts for every test is no mean feat.

Mrs Khoo ( Chem ): Strict, niao in marking too, naggy sometimes. But ultimately, made us able to write properly in correct chemical terms. Thank you very much.

Mrs Chua ( Chem ): Soooooo, hmmmmm, ermmmmmm. Yup, a good teacher and tell us constantly to write in proper chemical terms. Thank you very much.

Ms Menon ( Bio ): Wow! At first we thought you were a trainee teacher we could bully, ended up you were such a great teacher. Being able to accept and tolerate all our nonsence and rubbish, haha. Thank you very much.

Ms Tan ( Physics ): No-nonsence teacher, I understand a lot of hard concepts well. Even though there was a slight hitch during June, still a very good teacher who makes sure we understand all concepts. Thank you very much.

PE Teachers: Even though I hate PE very much, somehow becuz of what u said I decided to do something about my fitness lvl this holiday. Haha, thank you very much for making us run every lesson if not I'll be dam fat now =)

WHEW, in short, thank you very much to all who have educated me and taught me these 4 years.

If you read up to here then WOW, congrats. Let's see...1190 words. oh well don't blame me I never ask u to read hor, refer to above

1 More day

Ahhh I thought that cambridge was crazy to set weird paper 2s, so naturally I assumed that paper 1 will be equally crazy. But no, instead, most questions are repeats from the 30 year series!!! ZZZZZ.... At least I only made 1 mistake I think for chem and none for physics. Hard to say though, but now, it's BIOLOGY!!! Arghh, I hope the questions are reruns from the 5 year series, becuz I'll be memorising the answers tmr b4 the paper, since cambridge so cheapskate to put reruns in our papers. Hmmm, at first someone didn't invite me to this event, known as X. He said " I have you replaced." Ok whatever, then now he calls me and asks if I'm free, so I just say I have band stuff and I'm not free. I mean how irritating is that? Oh well, I'm sure he didn't mean it but I still don't like it. If there's anything I hate, it's being second fiddle...

Time to sleep and chiong bio tmr, and then I can play 24/7 auditionsea without anymore nagging...

Ok heck, I really have nothing to do la. Besides playing auditionsea 24/7 my mother starting to nag now, but pls lah I all along oso play she oso never say anything one. Anyway, I decided to devote tuesday and today to resting, and start studying tomorrow. That's right, I didn't touch a single book since monday, except for my comics of course... And guess what? I just found out that tomorrow is deepavali and my parents are brining me out to buy clothes(winter de)... ZZZ I planned to start studying tmr leh..... Oh well, I guess I have to postpone it to friday. Still, I'll do a little studying tomorrow. I just hope MCQ is like last years then can lor, very easy de. But seeing this year's O levels guailanness, I guess MCQ might come as a surprise. Oh well, see what happens...

And I realised that after tuesday, I am no longer officially part of the school. 10 years of Maris Stella High School will come to an end soon. All along I tot that I hated this school, but I dunno, I feel a little sad of leaving this school now. I only won't miss certain things for sure. Let's see, the canteen, the toilets, the lack of air-cons, the lack of lockers, the dirty floor, the mud filled toilets with no toilet paper, the glass smashed windows and of coz, the 6 bitches full of oestrogen and testosterone, constantly barking and making love outside my class, making us cannot concentrate. Last time Mrs Maria Koh came to our class and ask for feedback about the school, how it can improve etc, we just said that Mr Kwok is very noisy and the bitches as well. Hmm, seems that nothing has been done, but instead, the 6 bitches gave birth to another 10+ bitches as well. Oh well, it's not my problem anymore.

To all future 4Benedictians, pls maintain the tradition of using the fruits from fruit day to whack the bitches =) U improve ur aim, and u get lots of fun =)

Spotting

Hmm I'm so bloody bored so I'm gonna talk about our school's standard of spotting questions. Maybe after seeing this u might want to spot ur ownself haha.

English: What can I say? I mean our teacher nv say anything oso.

Chinese: I nv saw him again after prelims.

Maths: U think my teacher will say anything? Probably say study everything.

Physics: Hmmm..... OMG Nothing oso

( er... I think I shouldn't even have started this post nothing to say)

Biology: Hmmmmm she did mention curve rulers, and curve drawing came out, but that's so lame and irrelevent.

Chemistry: " Don't spot topics, because everything will come out." Oh well the first "spot" which is semiright. Becuz the topics that came out for chem were like !!!!! So lame la.

E.geog: I think FMP must be like o.0 now.
First prediction: O level is easier than prelim.
( I got 42 for prelim and I think I only get 28 for O level)

Second prediction: Mixed themes will come out
(Never come out)

Third prediction: If tourism comes out, there would be something on IR.
(Nothing on IR came out.)

Fourth prediction: If environment came out, there would be something on conservation.
(Hmm I can't remember but I think it came out a bit)

Fifth prediction: "What kind of question is this? This is like a question Mandy Tan will give u in sec 1. It sure won't come out for O levels, let's skip it." ( We were actually going through other school prelim paper and this qn, what is the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources?(5m)."
( End up, the exact question came out for hmmm what's that? 8 MARKS!!!!!)

SS: Study these 8 chapters well, can't remember what but mostly correct lor. I think she asked us to study Theme 2 3 4 5. 4 and 5 came out.


So xian so xian..... Tmr oso don't know what to do. Maybe I will study?

ZZZ

haha posting from my father's laptop which obviously dosen't have AudtionSea!!! I can't believe it, the "end" of O levels and my com spoil!!! It's like so shitty already lor but must spoil now is it? Or is it a sign for me to study for the MCQs? Haha.

Anyway, my ss predictions were totally totally off can? I predicted theme 3 4 5 but it came out theme 4 5 6. But theme 4 what I predicted was wrong. Since I only studied theme 1 2 3 5, I had no choice but to do the qn on theme 5 lor. It was easy anyway, and wrote 2.5 pages for each qn.. I better get 21... Then SBQ, was a bit weird la. But the last qn... It shows a stupid girly holding a sign " NO ELECTRICTY NO WATER NO JOBS BUT WE GOT THE BOMB" wdf!! How am I supposed to infer whatever shit she's trying to say? And it's 7 marks. So I just said that even though India dosen't have electricity, water, jobs it dosen't matter becuz as long as they have the bomb, it's ok. I was like zzz so lame lor 7 marks some more. I hope that I can get 42/50 for SS becuz my geog 99.99% <30/50. Sad huh.. I think B3 le wahh.....

That's y I'm thinking now, whether to PAE to VJC. Because in order to stay, I need 8 points. And u know, english can come out as an A2 or B3. And triple science... u nv know. E.maths might come out as an A2. And then GG for me. Very hard to decide leh, it's like spotting again haha.. Spot whether I get A2 or A1 for E.Maths and combined humans, and A1, A2 or B3 for english...

Then I came home, studied a bit bio and then go back school for bio again. OMG It was the hardest paper I ever took, but still quite easy la. Just that if u nv study then gg le, becuz most qns are factual qn especially for essay. The only qn I can't do is sth liddat " design an experiment to show how smoking leads to lung disease." wdf? I said measure the arteries of the person, and count the number of dead coronary heart arteries. Lol, this is impossible to do by the way. This reminds me of the bio qn I did in sec 2, it was " Outline how u would test for carbohydrates, proteins, fats in a person." I said " Cut a hole in his chest and scoop out the juices, then add iodine, bla bla bla" LOL.

Tadah!! It's the "end" of the O levels.... I will play hard for tuesday and then start revision on wednesday.

Sunday, November 04, 2007

SS

Hmmm I love spotting for SS becuz it's so fun and thrilling when the topics u spotted comes out, and then you can like get very high marks whereas some ppl study so hard and end up never come out hahaha...

So monday is the SS paper, this is what I bet or spot

Theme 3: Diplomacy and detterence + Conflicts over nations

Theme 4: Industralisation

Theme 5: Sustainable Development + Good governance

But I can't stand theme 4 even though it 99.99% come out so i'm only going to study theme 3 and 5, and 1,2,6 for back up haha. But i'm gonna focus only on theme 3 and 5.

Saturday, November 03, 2007

Hahaha

Hahaha I don't know whether to laugh or what.. Anyway, today's physics paper started at 8.00 am and guessed what time I woke up? You guessed it, 8.00 am!! Haahaha... let's see, the time line

8.00am: Father came in and woke me up.
8.01am: "hmm, I go bath, then shit then eat then study for a while"I thought to myself.
8.02am: (Looks at the watch) WDF!!!!
8.03am: Dressed in school attire, isn't that fast?
8.04am: Stuff my pencil box, entry proof, calculator into my bag but forgot to stuff in the set square!
8.05am: rushed downstairs and my father was already in my car
8.06am: Car just left the house
8.09am: reached school, threw my bag on the floor and tried to get the examiner's attention
8.10am: Started the paper.

Hahaha isn't that funny? I'm just glad that I only missed 10 minutes, becuz I finished the paper in 1 hour 10 mins, and still left about 25 mins to check, and some people still haven't finished the paper. I thank God because vectors didn't come out (forgot to bring set square), and that electromagnetism never come out at all ( wanted to study this today), Whew!! I thought the paper was quite easy, and I think I should be able to get A1, unless they penalise me for coming late!! Pls don't...
