This week, I'm back to my usual mode again, sleeping at 12-1230 every morning. What am I thinking? I've just recovered from all the sickness the past week, I know I gotta sleep early, at least 11, but I can't just seem to finish work and sleep early. Oh well. Self-discipline ought to be exercised. This is turning out to be some health hazard. Not having enough sleep, I fear, may have some long-term consequences.
Anyway, been getting really home this week. Monday, had training till 7.30, Tuesday was an early day, Wednesday, had tennis dinner and reached home at 9, Thursday had Interact and reached home at 7.30, Friday I didn't go to school at all.
Speaking of tennis dinner, it was quite fun I guess. It was meant to be dinner for the guys and girls of j1 so that as the captain said, we'll get to know the guys better. Haha. Frankly, I don't know who's in the team. But I thoroughly enjoyed myself. At least I didn't feel out, for once, I felt the team spirit again. Had dinner at NYDC (I think) at Holland V. Most of the food was pratically pasta and some cheesy stuff. I had lasagna. It was OK, I found it a bit too tomato-ish, prefer the Pizza Hut's one.
Anyway, I wrote down all my homework and the list came up to one full page. Can't believe it. I think the homework is getting ridiculously a lot. Not too mention Econs. Madness. Guess I better finish up my homework first if I want to sleep early tonight.
Today is MGS 116th Founder's Day. Went back to MG as part of the graduating class of 2002. I was very sleepy, had to reach school at 7am, which is way way much earlier than the time I normally reach school. Anyway, went back to MG in white blouse and HC skirt with sandals. Didn't want to walk up to the school in those black shoes with heels. The blouse was long-sleeved and I was hot. Met Anna, Zaneta, Saby and Hui-En at the toilets behind the audi. Had to change to the shoes, put on the tie and hc blazer, which is super thick and made me sweat more. Zaneta, as usual, was her usual blur self. Some things never change. (By the way, I'm rather incoherent now because I just found out that Millie & Chuck is going to get eliminated in tonight's episode, which makes me a bit sad, and kinds of puts my spirits down).
We had to go up to the library. The place was full of graduating girls in their respective school blazers, it was mostly a sea of dark blue - with blazers from AC, RJ and SA. Obviously, most of the girls are in AC now. And I think HC is the one with the second highest number of girls. Saw teachers too. Ms Ho obviously, with her hair tied up, she was in charge of taking attendances and had a hard time haha, ms tay, mrs ang (and still very naggy), ms bong, mrs goh, mr loh, mrs lim, our dear mrs thomas, mrs tan, mr heng (who asked us about how we're doing for physics in school now..obviously, the responses he got weren't very good), mrs koh, mrs raymond ong. Almost all the sec 4 teachers. And also Mrs Tan the librarian, fierce as usual. Didn't see Ms Thomas and Mrs Chong though, even though zaneta and anna said they saw, cikgu..miss cikgu so much..realise she's much better than my cikgu in hc. Everybody though, looked the same....I brought my camera, but forgot to take it out, ended up not taking any pictures. Which was stupid of me.
The service started at about 8.30am. We had to line up behind the hall...and the guests and all the girls actually stood up for us when we went into the hall. Those black shoes were really hard to walk in, and my feet were like super painful. Anyway, Rachel gave her address, and then Ms Kon. The guest of honour was Dr Ng Eng Hean, some acting minister for something, and all the chaplins were present. This year's founder's day service was supposed to be special, because it wouldn't be till 2006 that both the primary and secondary school would celebrate the founder's day together as a school. They're going to renovate the school. The service seems and feels different now that I'm there as a graduand. Before, it seems like the service would go on and on forever, watching the proceedings as an mg girl. But now that i've graduated from mgs, the service seemed to be going very fast. Of course there was still the customary performances from the choir, handbell, singing of hymns, prayers, and speech by the guest of honour (during his speech, I was really quite bored and nearly fell asleep). But to me, it was really not long after the start that it was time for the presentation of certificates and prizes. Each of us went up the stage, received this paper rolled up with yellow-blue ribbon from Rev Norman Wong, and had to bow. When we went back to our place, we opened the paper and the paper said something about waiting after the service and remaining seated to get the certificates from our teachers, which kind of made us laugh. So anticlimax. After the presentation of prizes is over, we sang the school song. This time, all of us coming back sang the school song with pride, continuing the tradition of shouting at the word 'shout' in the school song. After the whole service is over, ms ho came over and talked to all of us. She was her usual philosophical, full of words of wisdom self as she handed round a bag of red and green bean seeds and asking all of us to take one seed each. She said something like the seeds will remind us that what we've been through in mg and to be reminded of it as we leave mg and are headed to our future. Then she asked us to plant the seed. Oh well. We got our certificate...it was really nice..printed on a very nice paper with artistic borders, and meaningful words. And ms ho also gave us each a cd on the slideshow with all our pictures. At least I'll have some memories with me. Anyway, realised I miss ms ho so much as our math teacher...miss her blur, corny ways. Our math lessons last time were so fun..unlike now. And also mr heng..he taught us physics in a unique and interesting way and we will never forget that. Ms and Mrs Thomas also..even though I don't take bio now..they were really good teachers, so caring and passionate about the subject. Sigh. After that, we went down to the concourse to have refreshments..we were quite hungry by then.
Left school at about noon after changing clothes. We were supposed to go out as a class afterwards..but su ai, sarah, val and joy didn't turn up in the end. Went with anna, zaneta, saby, carlin, mui ngee, evelyn, becky, marian, jac, lynn, abi, stella to KAP. Hui-en and Shi Li joined us there later. AC people, with the exception of carlin and anna, left soon after.. apparently they can't skip classes, if not they'll get demerit points..the scholars and lynn didn't join us to orchard. Went to orchard after that..didn't quite know what to do. Wanted to watch a movie, but we were split on which one to watch..2fast2furious or lizzie mcguire show. I wanted to watch the second one, but in the end, after going all the way up to lido, we decided not to watch a movie. Went to Paragon after that..sitting down and drinking at orange julius i think..or whatever the name of the place is. Quite a small and comfy place..it was great catching up with the others. Mui Ngee, Jac and Saby left early. When we left Paragon, it was only 7 of us left. We decided to take a picture with the big R in front of Swensen's. Quite hilarious. Then went to Heeren. Didn't quite know what to do, basically we were just wandering around. But despite that, I didn't feel sian at all, like what I would be feeling if I go out with 69 people. Marian then suggested taking neoprints, which was quite fun. Time really flies when one is enjoying yourself...after that we all went home and i reached home sweet home at 5.30pm. It was a really tiring day..and I felt like falling asleep quite a lot of times..but at least it was fun and I enjoyed myself.
Sorry to my mum. I know you wanted me to go back to school after the whole thing is over, but the thoughts of going out with friends, especially since practically noone is going back to school, having a rare opportunity to have one whole day off from school were just too hard to resist. And besides, I wouldn't have been able to concentrate in school since I felt like sleeping most of the time (thanks to sleeping at 12.30am in the morning), and I haven't done the tutorials yet, so going for lessons would be quite useless. Made-up excuses. Anyway, feel so sleepy now, don't know why, shall have dinner now.
With loving hearts and joyous song we sing to MGS
And tell the fame of that fair name for we can do no less
We hope that we may honour bring, and heaven ever bless
Our school, the fairest in the land, our own dear MGS
Down through the years our memories will keep a loving place
For friendships made and pleasures shared, and lessons learned apace
For those who worked and gave their best that we might learn to face
The trials of life with faith and hope and nobly run the race
And now we're proud to raise the shout and sing of MGS
Lift high her banner one and all, her name we now profess
In work and play for honours won, today our hearts confess
The debts we owe, the love we hold for our dear MGS
Will you think about these moments that we shared
In the years to come
Are you gonna think it over and
How we lived each day with no regrets
Nothing lasts forever though we want it to
The road ahead holds different dreams for me and you
Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts in your heart is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts is the only way now for you and me
Though its the hardest thing to say
I'll miss your love every way
So say goodbye
But don't you cry
Cos true love never dies
Haha..taken from S Club's Say Goodbye. I find this such a meaningful and beautiful song. Too bad it's their last single. Quite sad that they split actually, cos S Club has always been one of my favourite bands. Their songs are upbeat, cheerful and have very meaningful lyrics.
Just read an email from one of my primary school friends. I have to admit, first time when I received his letter, I completely forgot who he is, until I had to ask another friend. Haha. Guess that's expected, since the last time I saw him was 5 years ago. I vaguely remembered that he sat next to me in class in pri 4/5, that he was one of my close friends. Haha. I guess time passes by so quickly huh? That now, everyone looks so different, and well, they're not the same person as last time. Oh well. Haha. I'm writing anything that comes to my mind, cos I'm truly bored. Even though I know I gotta mug. Soon. Sigh.
Often I wonder, 'What's the use of studying all this when you're not even sure what you're going to be in future?' Really..I'm pretty sure what I'm studying right now..monopoly, PC, differentiation, trigo, thermodynamics, oscillations..aren't going to be remotely useful in future. True..it may be relevant to university work, but people told me that what we cover in A level is not going to be covered as much in university, anyway, it's not really going to be relevant to my future. A timely reminder came from a family friend back home when, seeing me trying to mug for the block tests, commented that by the time we grow up, we'll have forgotten much, if not almost all, of what we study. Oh well. I'm really not sure what I'm going to be when I grow up. My so-called ambition changes constantly. I remembered when I was young I wanted to be a doctor. Then, seeing how doctor has to deal with you know..all those injections and not so pleasant stuff, I switched to wanting to be a teacher. Then I thought being a teacher was too stressful, so I wanted to be a piano teacher instead, since I recalled when I was young, I had a huge interest in playing piano. But I thought I wouldn't earn much by being just a piano teacher, so from that point on, till now, my ambition is to become an engineer. Of course..that's just fantasy..and it may never come true. I mean...I don't think I can ever see myself being an engineer. For all I know, I may be a housewife instead. But there are things that for certain. For one, I'm never going to be a doctor..I can't stand the sight of blood. Oh well. Anyway..in this world, whatever I become, I just have to work hard to earn it. And if I ever don't feel like studying again, I guess one motivation to study would be to think how hard my parents have worked and to appreciate how fortunate I am to be studying here right now. Oh well. That's why I guess sometimes I feel bad when I feel I haven't done well enough and let my parents down. Anyway, hopefully, my grades will be enough (though I know it's not) to repay what my parents have done for me, and that they'll be happy and not regret what they've done by sending all of us overseas.
One just gotta work to achieve his dreams right?
Had this splitting headache since Friday night. Maybe cos I used too much com in the evening. But really..after using com, I suddenly had this headache..felt like my head was spinning around...tried to sleep for half an hour..still the pain didn't go away..and it didn't too after i took shower. Couldn't eat dinner because..really..I felt very giddy..and basically, I couldn't swallow the food, kept on chewing it. Felt like puking the food out. Seriously. Anyway, practically gave up eating after eating veggy only..then decided to sleep w/o really having dinner. Woke up to catch the Amazing Race (will not miss it for anything), luckily I felt better after sleeping. I ate toast while being entertained for one whole hour. Once again, a TV programme has managed to brighten me up! Haha.
Anyway..I thought I was better when I woke up on Saturday, but obviously, I was proven wrong. Tried to do work after breakfast, but couldn't, ended up trying to sleep again. Was supposed to have an early lunch, but once again, didn't manage to eat my lunch. Was supposed to go to school at 12.30pm to do CIP, but ended up going from home at 12.15 and only made it as far as the bus-stop, before calling ai lian to say i wasn't going to come. After that, ended up sleeping for a whole 2 hours till 2.30pm. Once again, felt better after sleeping before having lunch. After lunch, managed to do a little bit of work before once again, succumbed to the dreaded headache. Till dinner, the headache hasn't gone yet. Took quite a lot of medicine, but really..the headache is a stubborn thing. Forced myself to have dinner. So in the end, since I couldn't really do anything much..slept all the way till 12pm, before my brother woke me up. Anyway, slept from 1 pm onwards.
Woke up at 7.30 this morning, thinking that I might go to church. The headache was gone for the moment, but in the end, decided not to risk my health, so stayed at home. Anyway, it wasn't long before the headache came back again..and it stayed there till afternoon. Tried to sleep, to no avail. In the end, drank sweet tea...and decided to do work anyway..and the headache slowly went away..till now it hasn't come back. Yeah! Haha...
So that was basically how I spent the whole weekend.
We had our PW survey yesterday. At first, we wanted to go to Raffles Place, but later on decided to go to City Hall. The gals and guyz split. Alan and Yanxi went off to walk to National Library, while 3 of us stayed there in front of the MRT before later walking off to City Link. What a mistake! Alan and Yanxi had their surveys done rather quickly, but 3 of us didn't even reach half. OK..maybe Shuyun did, but I only did 8 out of 20. Gosh! So hard to find people to do surveys! I felt quite embarrassed. Oh well..at least it was an experience. So now, I still have 12 surveys to do. Passed 5 to my cousin so that she can pass to her colleagues in office. Then gonna ask my brothers to do it, and maybe ask their tuition teachers or something. And maybe my sunday school teachers. Actually we were supposed to ask around the neighbourhood, but here, how to? Argh..! Which reminds me too. PW..still have to do my minutes and analyse the articles and pages from those books...
Had dinner at Crystal Jade last night with my aunt, cousins and brothers, to celebrate one of my cousins' birthdays. The food was fantastic! So erm..sumptous, I guess. Haha. Had noodles, fried squid, chopped peppered beef, dofu with mushrooms and veggy, pork, and to top it off, we had cheesecake. Tried to finish the cheesecake but in the end I couldn't. Really felt full, so much food! Then after that walked around Cold Storage for a while. By that time, I guess I was too tired already, had a headache and kept on yawning. Finally reached home at 9.30pm. After taking shower, wanted to do a little bit of study, but kept on yawning, so decided to sleep earlier (for me) at 11.15pm. It just had to be one of those nights that you felt tired but you just couldn't fall asleep. Images of food kept running through my mind. The more I tried not to think of them, the more they kept coming to me. And those images made me nauseous. Haha. Guess I had eaten too much. But still, it was one of the best times of the week. I don't know, the best time of the week had to be when I was sick. I didn't mind having the fever that I had on Monday. Got to go home earlier, sleep and most importantly, time off from school and lessons. I guess what I needed was just a little time away from school, to sort things out in my mind, have a little break before going to school again. If I have not been sick, I probably couldn't have lived through the week like I just have. Oh well. What crap am I talking now?
Haha..at home early, as usual nowadays. Seems like not much is happening at school recently. Not that I mind lah. Quite tired and still have a lot of work to do. School is totally driving me nuts with its sheer pace and work magnitude. Can't believe it's almost the end of another week now. Fridays come so fast. Always used to love Fridays, but now, I always almost feel drained on Fridays. I guess you know it's the end of the school week, and you just want it to end. All the stress is built up to Fridays, before one can finally relax. It's amazing now how I feel drained on fridays. Sigh. And the work load. Ah..don't want to think of that.
Anyway...only school school school with its share of problems is on my mind. Friends make up a huge part in one's school life. I can't imagine school life without friends. You'll be like so alone, and isolated I guess. But, just as everything else is so not simple, with friendships, come companionship, and also problems. It's really intriguing sometimes. Oh how I wish friendships wouldn't be so complicated sometimes. Sigh. But in the world today, is everything else so simple? Why can I not just lead a simple and happy life, without all those constant pressures and expectations?
Whoa! Had a fever on Sunday night, and it still hadn't gone away by Monday morning. I still went to school that morning anyway. So when I took my temperature that morning, it was a freaking high 37.7! Haha..so I had to report to the office and this person took me to the meeting room somewhere near the labs, and I had to sit in there for half an hour reading Streats. When she took my temp again, it went even higher to 38.6, so of course, she had to send me home. Not that I mind. Haha...after that, my mum fetched me and we went to doctor. My mum was kind of scared I might have dengue fever, since there seems to be more mosquitoes flying around in the house, but luckily, it's only cold. Not SARS also. Haha. Went home and sleep from like 11am-3.45pm. Didn't know I was so sleep-deprived. Oh well.. the rest of the day was basically spent catching up on homework. I got no concession for being sick! Anyway, my fever was gone after I slept lah. So, I was ok, and I thought I was ok enough to go to school the next morning. Decided to skip PE and tutorials, only went in the afternoon. Sigh. Actually, I don't mind being sick, as in not the bed-ridden kind, like slight fever but you still can do anything you want, then can have more holiday. Haha.
Anyway, got back my chem paper. Got an E, expected lah. Haha, at least I didn't fail any of my subjects. Though I'm pretty sure I'm gonna fail econs. Oh well....
OK..anyway..I'm going to attempt to write the same entry that I wrote last night. Sigh. Can't believe that I was so careless as to delete it, after spending so much time writing that entry. Anyway, yupz...another week has passed by at a breakneck speed. Gosh..can't believe everything flies by so quickly! Now it's July...can't believe that more than half a year has gone by. Soon, I'll be taking promos, then, I'll be in J2 and like Mrs Goh said, I'll not be in college anymore. So sad. I dare not imagine what the future will be like. Anyway, just realised I haven't blogged a proper entry for the whole week. So here goes...
On Monday, after an exhausting weekend doing CIP for the Streetwise Run thing at Sentosa on Saturday and Sunday, and still attempting to get over the after-effects of Block Tests, I went out to watch Charlie's Angels with Anna, Zaneta and Allison. Deborah was supposed to come too but she backed out and went home to sleep instead at the last minute. Actually, I was supposed to have a class outing at Sentosa (again), but decided to give it a miss because I certainly did not want to go to Sentosa again and really wanted to watch the movie. Anyway, finally gave Anna and Zanet their long-overdue birthday presents (owed since March). Oh well. We went to play at the arcade after buying the tix. Just realised at that point that I haven't played for a long time at the arcade. Wanted to play air hockey, but the stupid machines were spoilt, in the end played the car racing and puzzle bubble. Haha. The movie was nice, really funny and cool. Love the dance moves! And I think Demi Moore really has a hot bod! And all the angels are so pretty. But the movie really has no plot. Still, after the Block Tests, who cares whether the movie has a plot or not. Most important thing is to have fun and laugher rite? Also met Bernice to give her her birthday present and met a whole lot of other ex-mg schoolmates, classmates and teachers. Interesting how we met so many people that day. I really enjoyed myself that day..at least before school started again.
I really dreaded going to school the past week. Results week. Who'd want to see their results? I certainly did not want to see mine, for I know that I've not done my best, although I tried doing as much as I could at that point in time. Anyway, I guess it's better to face reality now than later right? Oh well..nobody really wanted to go to school. Expected. As for the results, have gotten back 2 subjects so far. I'm quite happy with the results lah..at least haven't failed any yet. Got a B for Math and D for Physics. My mum, I think, was a bit unhappy with my Math results as she thinks I could have done better had I slept earlier during the block tests, but I'm really glad she isn't angry with my results at all. Phew. Oh well..all these results made me wonder though if I have made the wrong decision, if I should have just gone there instead. My mum too asked me if I regretted. Well, I did regret a little, but I have made my decision. I resolve not to regret on my decision and well, just to look ahead instead.
Oh yes, my uncle and cousins came here from Bangkok earlier last week. Got to play with my cousins. Was really happy to see them because, even though I've just seen them at last month's family gathering, I'm quite close to them. At least they speak English. Haha. Played UNO with one of those cousins, another one from back home, another working cousin and my two brothers. It's really a long long time since I last played UNO. Kind of missed playing it actually. Last time in MG, we always played UNO cos only UNO cards were allowed. But in HC, everyone is playing Bridge, Daidee or Hearts. Nobody plays UNO. So anyway, we the older people got beaten by two of the younger cousins. Quite funny actually. In the next round, those two cousins backed out and my uncle came in. I finally prevailed. Haha. Well, at least I was happy and had fun playing with my cousins. I guess sometimes, family is much more important than school work because after all, my relatives don't come here very often, so have to make the most out of their visits.
Had my first tennis training after the holidays on Wednesday. Even though I played during the holidays, I guess the effects of studying for BT have taken a toll on me. I played really badly and my game was rusty. Gotta improve and train harder if I want to make the first 11 next year. Anyway, had my make-up baptism class on Wednesday night, for one class I missed last time. Had a surprise when I met all my three sunday school teachers. Having now completed the class, I can actually be baptised, but like last time, I somehow don't feel ready to be baptised just yet. Oh well.
On Friday, after school, went with zaneta to KAP and met a whole lot of my mg friends there. Allison, Carlin, Ivana, Wendy, Jessie, Huiling, Evelyn, Deborah and Jac. Haven't seen Ivana for a long time since she went to Australia. She looks so different! Anyway, saw Yanxi and Bing Yi there with their girl friends, and later on Jinyong came with his friends. Had so much fun talking crap and catching up with MG friends. Well, as it turned out, everyone did badly for exams. Then Huiling excitedly told me that Beckham's number at MU and his new number at Real Madrid make up her birthday. 23/7. Yeah right, which reminds me also that her birthday is coming in like less than 2 weeks. Oh well. Guess she's as much a Beckham fan as ever, although I'm really glad that she'll remain a loyal MU fan. (Speaking of MU, got MU teddy bear and ruud's water bottle from kelvin as birthday presents, thank you very much. As usual, my mum made a fuss about me getting mu stuff again. sigh.). Then, jessie suddenly realised that one of jinyong's friends was from her og group at SA. She then tried unsuccessfully to recall his name, even sms-ed her friend but to no avail. So in the end, had to msg jinyong and ask him for his friend's name on her behalf, but his friend remembers her name. Haha. Left early with zaneta, allison, carlin, ivana and evelyn to go to the Sec 4 class party. It was raining and really tried super hard to catch a cab. Sigh, the weather nowadays is really sucky lah. Hate it. Anyway, the party was supposed to be at 5.30pm, but although we reached there at 7pm, we were still one of the earliest. 4a2 is a really late class..people were still arriving at 9+. Anyway, ate whatever few food there were (very few brought food even though it's supposed to be a potluck). Ms Ho also came. She looks really different! Really, now she keeps longer hair than last time. Oh mine. Anyway, after that as usual, we broke into cliques again. In some sense, I find 4A2 and 03S69 very similar. There are cliques in the class, but I guess at least in 69, I can still talk to everyone, but in A2, that's not the case. It was supposed to be a class party, but where was the interaction? We played bridge (missed playing bridge) in our cliques. It's really sad. Last time when I was still in MG, even though our class was never a united class, I could at least talk to some people from other cliques. But on Friday, I only stuck to my clique, didn't even say hi to the rest. Same for the rest. It's really strange and awkward. Ms Ho also came and just sat there to watch Amazing Race and other TV programs she could find, with Rachel. Well, I guess, this is what happens when one loses touch with old friends. I've only kept in contact with a few from my sec 4 class, and yes, we've become closer in a sense, and also with people who end up in HC and church. But as for the rest, well, I guess we've sort of drifted away. It's really sad. But somehow, I really cannot do anything about it.
Speaking of Amazing Race, last week, I dreamt that Kelly and Jon would be eliminated. As it turned out, it was Tian and Jaree who got eliminated instead. Well, it was sort of a mixed feeling. I was glad that well, my pyschic stuff didn't come true, I'd rather be a normal person than be a psychic..that would totally freak me out. Anyway, even though I hated Tian and Jaree initially, the last 2 episodes, I have grown to love them. I mean, they epitome the girl power and anyway, they have stopped fighting already. Oh well. Bad luck to them I guess.
Sigh..been feeling really sian these days. Don't know why. Especially after the holidays. I feel a bit more out in class too. Don't know why. Like last time could talk to almost everyone, now I'm really quiet and seldom talk. I feel bothered by...stuff, but don't know what the stuff is. Sigh. Well, I really hope everything will turn out better for me these coming weeks. Guess I have to be more cheerful and not to let myself get so stressed out or overwhelmed by all the stuff that is going on.
Went to sunday school this morning. Haven't been going to the class for quite a while, since I went back home for the holidays. Felt much better afterwards. And the songs that we sang just now, really find them very meaningful. I guess God wants me to know that whatever happens, He'll always be right beside me, guiding me and leading me on. Thank you Lord.
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before You, O Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaim
The joy and the pain I'm making them yours
Lord I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through
Use it for Your glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You
As a living sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my pains
My heart and my hands are lifted to You
I just wrote one long entry..somehow..I forgot to save it. But felt much better after writing it. Quite lazy to post again lah. Most important thing, I feel much better.
Haha..everyone seems to think that I'm really sad because Roddick lost. But no. I'm even more sad because of my stupid SAT score. 1310 is really pathetic. 760 for math, only 550 for verbal. I'm super pissed. Argh! But actually, come to think of it, getting that low for my verbal isn't unexpected, considering I actually nearly fell asleep doing the verbal section halfway through the paper. Oh well. At least I improved for Math. But for verbal, i totally so did not improve. Anyway, actually i think i should be happy overall cos 1310 is really the best i've achieved so far. Haha. But still. It's too low lah. Stupid. Pathetic me.
How sad. Now don't really have motivation to follow Wimbledon anymore, even though it's only the finals coming. Williams vs Williams. Who cares? Even though I know they're really darn good, but really, it's all in the family, a sister vs sister match isn't really exciting, don't know why. As for the men, Federer vs Phillipousis (I think that's how you spell his name), ah...wanted Roddick to win. Oh well. Don't care lah. I don't care who wins or loses.
Anyway, what's up with all this transfer business in soccer? So much transfer saga. What..now..Chelsea is bought by some Russian billionaire? And they're suddenly so rich and have so much money to spend on so many players? My gosh..it's really unbelievable. I find it a joke. Haha. And now they're chasing after Ronaldinho too, which MU has long been chasing after. But I think PSG quite ridiculous lah. You mean Ronaldinho costs much more than Beckham and even Ronaldo, I think? Haha. Ridiculous transfer saga. And I can't believe the Beckham Transfer created such huge media circus. Really. A medical exam got shown all over the world? Haha. I laugh. Really. Come to think of it, soccer these days are much more business than sports itself. Which is really a pity. What is the world turning to these days? Players demanding so much salary, fall-outs between managers and players, managers getting sacked, all those transfer stuff, sometimes players are bought not because of their footballing skills, but for their marketing powers. It's really sad. I think sports should first and foremost be about skills, fun, enjoyment, recreation, not about all those money, power, contracts, endorsements that are starting to dominate the game. How sad.
Haha. What was I crapping about?
Haha...i'm still feeling like over the moon. Guess I was really stressed out by the block tests. Oh well. Studying during the holidays really sucks. No break at all. Well, I'm just glad it's all over. Don't really care about the results. I mean I've done the best I could, if it doesn't earn me a pass mark, what can I do? Haha..feeling so sleepy now, should have slept earlier during the block test period. Was sleeping at 12 every night. I think sleeping late has really taken a toll on me. When I was back home, I was mugging till 12.30am which is 1.30am s'pore time, and I only had like 7 hours sleep cos I woke up at 7.30am most of the time. Oh well.
Went to the dentist today and had my braces tightened. Thankfully, it's not so painful. I kind of prepared myself for the worst. Haha. Then went to the hairdresser to have a haircut and trim my hair. My mum thinks my hair is getting too long, but I didn't really want to cut it too short cos I still want to tie my hair, considering it's really hot these days. It was a really busy morning. Have a lot of stuff to do over the weekend. At least 3 things are done. Went back to MG yesterday to collect my certificate, which I was supposed to have done before I went back home. The guard was so unfriendly. Asked me to take my temperature. He was like why do you go here for? When I told him I wanted to collect my cert, he was like show me your cert afterwards. Sheesh. Doesn't trust me at all. Anyway, still have got to reply MG if I want to go for the Founder's Day ceremony. I'll most likely go, after all, it's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing, your graduation ceremony. Then still have got to reply letters from my friends back home. And find birthday presents for 4 pple, 3 of them long overdue. Haha. Oh well. Guess I really am a slacker.
Just had my malay oral this afternoon. Wasn't really prepared for it, but at least had a practice yesterday. Only knew about it on monday after my econs paper. My initial reaction was sheesh..cos I had been mentally preparing myself for a full-day holiday and was making plans to go out, so obviously I couldn't. Then, I thought the oral was for block test, I didn't realise it was for AO level until I found out it's in NJ. So stupid. Anyway, the oral was OK. Hopefully, can get a distinction. As usual, I read too fast and stumbled quite a few times, but I was quite surprised the examiner cut me off after reading 2 paragraphs, when I was supposed to read 3. Answering compre questions was quite ok. Well, I was lucky in conversation too. My teacher happened to be going through a similar topic yesterday and how to answer it, so obviously I could talk a bit of crap. I mean, main thing is you have to talk right? Even if what you talk about is some piece of crap and not related to the topic at all.
Anyway, tomorrow, I'm going to Sentosa for some Streetwise Run, interact stuff, from like 12-7pm. Seven hours! It's going to be a long, tiring day tomorrow. Oh well. Hopefully, I can enjoy it.
Better end here. My mum has been bugging me to go offline cos she thinks it's no good for my eyes. Oh well. Just had an eye-checkup and my degree increased by 50 for each eye. No good. Anyway. I'm still in a happy mood and will be looking forward to the Amazing Race tonight. The only thing that kinds of irks me is that it'll be an all-Williams Wimbledon final. I was really hoping that Kim could beat Venus, but she did take Venus to three sets. Oh well. At least Roddick is still in Wimbledon, when Ferrero and Hewitt (my other favourite players) have been knocked out. Hopefully, Roddick can win the tournament, cos I really want him to win. Haha. Talk about me wanting to go and end my post. Haha. Anyway, I'm really going to end now. And go sleep. Since i'm now quite sleepy.
Finally exam it's over. Haha. Can enjoy myself. Think I got burn out from studying. Probably going to do real badly for block test. Heck. It's over. I can now enjoy myself. And it's gonna be a long weekend. Yeah! =)
