3 more papers

Just 3 more papers to go before I’m officially free. But the results won’t be exactly what I’ll be looking forward to. Looked back at the papers I’ve done and realized that I’ve made a huge lump of mistakes. Unpardonable, I’ll say. But it’s over so no point crying over spilt milk. Just looking forward to this Friday cuz I’ll get to hang out and relax again.Just wanted to recount what I witnessed. Was taking the bus home, and there weren’t many people on the bus at 11am. There was this ah peh who was probably a little off his rockers, and he was talking to this girl from my school, and I guess she didn’t expect that. So the journey went on for about 10 minutes, with the old guy yakking non-stop about his family and all that (I didn’t understand much of his dialect) and the poor girl was just there, nodding her head and trying to look comprehensive. Then she finally couldn’t take it and went to the upper deck. Lolz… the middle-aged auntie sitting opposite me who saw everything was chuckling, and I couldn’t help breaking into a grin. Ah… life…

Moony Cakey Festival

Yayun's recent entry in her diary reminded me of last year's 3/10 camp in school. coincidentally, they were holding the Mooncake Festival (back at the old school campus), and the whole calss had to help them stack the chairs and bring it back to the class rooms in Campus 2, all the way up to the top few floors. Lolz.They got around 7 classes worth of chairs so we had to get all that back to the classrooms. Definitely was a good workout there.And of course there was Sec.2, when we all got scolded for running away from the cleaning. lolz...Anyway, sorry to all those whom i had yelled at for the past few days, pretty much because i was so upset about the marks i had lost for my A-math and the difficulties i was facing while studying. Sorry for a very grouchy me. I didn't mean it.The Sims™ 2 is out and i'm damn thrilled. The graphics are cool, the emotions are cool... omg...

Good luck to all!

The first week of toil is over. For the past 1 week I’ve been forgoing hours of sleep and leisure to mug. Just one week to go and I’ll be free from this thing. For another month, that is.

Had History and A-math today. History was almost a killer. The source-based is ok except for question 1c, where I couldn’t find any similarities at all. The structured was terrible, and that’s all I can say. I’ve already had so much problem getting the information into my head, and I felt as though it was a nightmare trying to pour the information out and organizing it. And I swear I would strangle myself if the 3 marks I didn’t do for A-math cause my mark to drop by one grade.

So now, all I can do is to pray and make sure I don’t kill myself again, cuz I can’t guarantee that I’ll have another life to waste. But for tomorrow, I’ll just be sitting back and relaxing, gearing up for another mugging marathon over the weekends and the following week.

Anyway, just wanna wish all those taking Chinese, Literature and Biology good luck for their papers tomorrow and the day after cuz I won’t be going to school.

Love people around you

Just received a sms from a friend. She lost her brother to leukemia last night. Dunno what to do to comfort her since I’ve never been in her shoes before, but I just wanna let her know that I’ll be there for her no matter what. How unpredictable is life? Today you see a person whom you have no regards for, and he’s gone in a jiffy. Yes, reality’s harsh on us, but we’ve gotta learn to overcome ordeals set for us in life. We’ve gotta cry for things we didn’t treasure, but become stronger after that. I believe that no matter how far a person has gone, as long as your heart stays, his stays too. So do learn to treasure the ones you love and the ones who loves you cuz you never know when they’re gonna leave you. I’ve seen this one in my life, and I’ve learnt from it.

Physics Practical

Managed to get home early cuz there was Physics Practical today and i didn't feel like studying at the CC. Shuwen was a nervous wreck during the Practical. She was banging the stuff all over the place and kept dropping things and gave me that 'save me!' face during the last 5 minutes of the first prac. Relax lah, must be like me... Realised that i was working like a crazy ass for the entire week so i've decided to come back home and catch some sleep.

The little girl who stays just below me loves to play 'Itsy Bitsy Spider' on her recorder and i think that's pretty sweet cuz she plays so well (unlike my sister) and i guess everyone enjoys listening to her.

Jia Ying blew up today cuz i made fun of her and .. ... aiyo no need so petty mah... must be like melah... Always get teased by you people in front of him i also dun care... Already used to it liao... Anyway Check asked me to lend him the Microsoft Office 2003, but he was saying that if i couldn't use it after he used it, he'll pay me back. And i was like,'I think you sell yourself also not enough...' Lolz...

Just trying to get by

Just wanna say a BIG thanks to ACJC+ Shuwen for contributing to my birthday fund. (You rock people!) Anyway, today was a crappy day, cuz we bored most of the day away since most of our lessons were free periods. How I wished I was at home the entire day, since I could do with most revision in the comfort of my own space.

The sweetest thing... :)

Happy Birthday to me!!! Finally sweet 16! Waited for such a long time for this day, cuz it cuts off some restrictions (no I don’t mean the legal age to watch NC-16 movies)which I’ve been tied to for so long. Thanks everyone for the present. I can open a zoo with all the stuffed toys I got. Thanks for the mere ‘Happy Birthday’ you wished me cuz I wanna let you know that I appreciate even a greetings cuz it means a lot about you. Thanks for the smses I got at 12 this morning and thanks to the ONE who offered me pizza in class today. HE made my day. : )

Anyway, wanna wish everyone who’re taking the Prelims EL Paper tomorrow all the best!

The most beautiful thing in the world is a friend.

My ambition

Chem Prac today and i was laughing my head off. Comparatively, this was definitely easier than what we had for the Mid-Year exams (hello i scored 8 for mid-year what can i say) and it was less tricky. But i'm definitely gonna hate QA for my entire life cuz 1.I scalded a friend accidentally during a QA lesson, 2.i scalded myself today, 3.i smudged the ink on my exam paper and 4.it just sucks. What can i say? But it's well over and done with so i won't be doing that til the GCE O'Levels. Thanks God.

Finally! I got new guitar strings out of my own pocket and (unfortunately) blew my pocket. But it was finally something ticked off my agenda. I'm currently trying to save money (in vain) to collect guitars. Acoustic, classical, electric (that'll be later on) and even vintage guitars (perhaps when i'm old enough to have that money). My ambition.

Hil rules!

Tomorrow’s the start of the Prelims. I’m not shaking, not yet. I’m just planning to go with the flow, make sure I get the facts right and basically stay cool cuz I guess it’s no use panicking over an exam. Pretty much satisfied about the amount I did until this point of time, and let’s just hope that I don’t slack further to run behind time. Wish me luck.

Holy shit for me, cuz I blew my handphone bill. Thank God Mum doesn’t know anything or she’ll be breathing down my neck again. Dad’s quite neutral about this, cuz I ain’t the only one who blows the bill at home. The only exception’s that my Dad’s company pays his bills for him. This is so unfair.

It’s nearly sweet 16 for me in another 2 days time, though I’m not exactly looking forward to it, for the fact that it sits comfortably in the middle of my exam, and that totally kills the fun. I hope this is the last time I’m gonna celebrate my birthday in this fashion.

Dug out all my past magazines just to read about Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray. Chad’s totally cute, but Hilary’s just became my new idol. She’s just the sweetest person in the world.

Bursting out

Mum and Dad took leave yesterday just to bring me out to get something for my birthday. Got a treat at Tony Roma’s, a new pink purse and a movie treat to watch Cinderella Story. How cool’s that? And I just wanna say that Chad is soooooo cute!!!

Went to school for Physics today. Mrs Chang released us half and hour earlier so Conrad, Xiling and I decided to play Speed in the canteen. The snack stall auntie asked me to help her write ‘Chicken Porridge’ as a notice and was rewarded a bowl of chicken porridge. Now, how cool’s that? Anyway, the Prelims are just around to corner so I’m totally gearing up for another burst of energy to study. Wish me luck.

Study study study

Thanks for the comments, Pin. But i'm currently too tied up to bother about the lovey-dovey stuff right now. Woke up this morning and all the examination dates just came pouring into my head and it really scares me. So i guess it's safer to invest my time in studying than to think up of ways to chat HIM up. Besides, HE's such a pain in the ass.

Crazed...once more

Chemistry was sheer torture today. The air-conditioner was terribly cold and most of us were freezing to death. As usual, Mrs Siew dragged on for almost an hour and she insisted that she only took half and hour.

Signed up for membership at Yuhua CC just to use the study room. I guess it’s worth the $15 after all. The study room’s pretty spacious, plenty of bright lights and it’s darn quiet in there. Met my ‘long-lost’ primary school friend Hao Yi there. He looked as surprised to see me there as I am seeing him there. Lolz… And there are plenty of okok-looking guys there (you can ask xiling-now I know why she doesn’t crush on school guys). The whole spectacle was plain hilarious, if you’d ask me. There are primary school kids(from my primary school) blowing gum balloons there, the constant ruffling of tidbit packs and sniffs here and there from the air-conditioner. Definitely a place I wanna spend my quiet afternoon at.

I find it extremely disturbing to realize that a conversation between me and HIM doesn’t last longer than 1 minute. Yes, it’s pathetic. I don’t know if we’ve grown to fear each other, but talking face-to-face just isn’t our fort for each other. On the brighter side, HIS smses never fail to cheer me up. Haha. I’m driven crazy.

Birthday wish

Same old boring Sunday, except the fact that it marks the last week before the Prelims. Yes, I’m getting the jitters, but no, I’m not intimidated. At least I’m starting, you know.

Dad was going through a class list I kept in my A-math textbook and he was trying to guess the dialect groups of them by their surnames. He said that Lees(like us) are Cantonese and all that. Then he came to Tong Loong, who has ‘Teo’ as his sur, and my dad says that he’s a ‘ke’(a Hakka), and my dumbass sister was like, ‘Cake? What cake?’ ….

Time flies and I’m happily counting down to my birthday. I’ve decided to get something special for myself this year, since I’m 16 and all grown-up(urm, not quite, actually). Like? A guitar. For the past 2 years I’ve been playing my aunt’s very vintage guitar and have acquired more than just a few scratches for her. So I’ve decided to get one for myself instead of using hers. I’ve been checking out one at the Music Lodge, which cost a pretty hefty $280 for a guitar, but it’s going to be mine at all costs. Wish me luck.

Nightmares

Start of the holidays=start of a terrible time. The Prelims are like2 weeks away and i haven't done any revision. Wish me all the best.

Anyway, today was ultimately boring, and it would be if worse if we actually stayed back for Chemistry lessons.

Anyway the school had to book a ballroom for our grad night by today so they asked us to make a decision toay. We were choosing between Hilton and Le Meridian, but we got the worst news that Hilton dinner is fully booked. Shucks. And the thing was they were pushing us for high tea instead of dinner. Helo? grad nite is grad nite, not grad afternoon. I can't believe it. Anyway the class stood firm on dinner, and the guys even went to the extent of going class to class, trying to persuading the other classes to opt for dinner instead. Not sure if it worked, but it definitely got Mdm Sia pissed cuz their discussion with Ms Wassan ate into her lesson. Aiyah...

Was taking 198 home today when there was this guy who came on the bus smelling as though he just ran 2.4km. Pooh... I almost wanted to die but the seats were occupied and i couldn't find somewhere else to stand. Can't imagine if he had sat besides me... Pls guys, if you know that you have BO, god damn it use deodourant!!!

Happy Teachers' Day...not

This year’s Teachers’ Day celebration really sucked. I pity the teachers, cuz I guess this is probably the worst Teachers’ Day celebrations they ever had.

Teachers’ Day will probably be the day I fear most every year, and especially this past 2 years as a chairman. But thank God, it’s over, so I have no more projects to ponder in for the next few months.

Had English in the morning and the guys 'serenaded' Ms Leong & Mrs Chang with a song by Hoobastank. Then we had a chat with Mrs Chang and found out that *gasps* she's going to the US at the end of the year. Or is she moving there? Anyway, we were pretty saddened by that fact. Mrs Cang is a really good teacher and i want her to know that.

Anyway, as usual, our class took part in the inter-class Captain’s Ball competition and came in first. Thanks people.

Before that, I’ve had plans to go study with Xiling at the CC this afternoon after school, but Jane asked me to go out. So I bang seh Xiling. Then the girls proposed a class outing for lunch, so I bang seh Jane. But in the end everyone was going back to primary school so I decided to go out with Jane in the end. So messy…

Got earrings at Aries, MORE Harry Potter stickers and was laughing myself crazy with Jane at IMM.

HE may be reading this right now. Or not. I don’t care anymore. I’m too busy to worry about whether HE knows or not. I’m too tired. But good job at Captain’s ball today.
