Good luck for those taking O level Chinese

I have been through the whole process before so I can completely know how you guys are feeling.
Reminds me of last year, I enjoyed the whole intensive period although it was tiring.

During O level chinese,

1. Forgot to take our i/c along then before the start like just left a few mins we all raise our hand, went to take our i/c in the bag and delayed the whole school! LOL. (not just us lah but most of the people didn't know must take i/c so we left it in our bag)

2. The examiner said : '' you may start now ''. I flip the booklet, saw the other table having a yellow sheet of question paper. I did not start on time as I don't have the question paper!

3. Practically after paper 1 everyone started discussing and me and weiting never separate. Haha, we went to take our bag and she even offer to ''lobang'' me home since her house is near mine after the exam ended! :)

I miss those times we had chinese lessons with liu lao shi.
She's the best chinese teacher currently in Yuying.
We completed lots and lots of chinese papers from other schools.
Never ending composition, letter writing and paper 2.
She kept drilling us till we're all so familiarize with what we're doing.
And she returned our work either immediately or by the next day. Super efficient.
The stack of notes she gave is like a treasure to me.
We even returned back to school during the holidays and met her for consultation.
She came early in the morning to comfort us and gave us the moral support in the canteen.
Where to find such an awesome teacher again!?
Oh and she's really motherly we all love and respect her :D

Weiting was my table partner since sec 3 we started our express chinese lesson.
Then most of the time we'll talk crap and laugh or we will quarrel but after a while then we started talking!
And combined class with sec 5A too as they're so damn funny everytime.

After saying so much, what I regretted was securing an A2.
Despite retaking at the end of year after N level, it is still the same.
Did not study hard enough, I guess.
I don't wanna retake this year because what if I don't do well and get another grade.
Then that grade = the final grade and I can't take back my current A2.
So this is just to play safe.
But still, I would like to have an A1 ):

Anyway, I shall just be happy for that.
And I should concentrate more on English and Maths.
Please without both of these subjects you can't enroll into any polytechnic courses!
I pray hard I will study during the 1 month break.
And that some helpful people out there will be willing to guide me in Maths!

PS : I realised my nikon camera the usb cable red wire is being cut off.
Which means I can't upload pics into my computer!
Gonna ask my dad for help and hopefully the usb cable works because I can't fully depend on my sony camera.
I bet the usb cable is still selling in the market because the camera is super old already.

Hello holidays! :D
(I wonder if I will even want to study,omg)

Okay seriously, I have been enjoying EVERYDAY.
Finished watching autumn's concerto, including ALL the behind the scenes.
Now I have got nothing to look forward to ):
Male and female lead in the show were both so great.
They made me laugh loudly in the middle of the night and I slept at 3/4 am after my mid-year ends.
And I couldn't stop re-watching them and continue laughing in my own room.
Oh and that reminds me of my dad wanting me to sleep early or else the utilities bill gonna be too high-.-'''

Anyway, on Tuesday we had hsbc tree top walk for geography student.
Basically, many absent themselves from the treetop walk because you know why.
It is very warm and uncomfortable most of the time. Under the hot sun and rocky pathway.
And I freaking saw a snake and suddenly I jump, so as the snake.
Then the rest behind me got affected too due to my reaction. Haha.
And on Thursday we had dpa talk + auntylucy and xiejiafa from 933 came to our school!
I didn't know lor or else I would have take pics with them lol.
On Friday, had PTC. Don't wanna mention it.
I will improve on my current midyear results. VERYYYYYYY demoralising.

On the other hand SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT.
2E'07 gathering is confirmed. Chalet booked!

I am so looking forward to it(but usually the more I look forward to something, it always turns out the other way round). Please don't okay. This is our mid-year gathering and freddy managed to book the one at changi(beside old changi hospital v.scary) which we had in 2008. So many memories there and can someone lend me your dslr for 1 day to take quality pics. I so wanna capture every moment but then my compact camera sucks and no $$ to buy a dslr. Sigh. Reminds me of the class photo we took during 2009 end of year gathering WHICH TURNS OUT ALL BLUR ):
Okay wait. I sounded desperate here.

I will never let this happen again. Bringing my nikon camera together with sony one. But still prefer dslr lahhhhh.

But this picture is nice though :)

Note to self: do not treat you the way you treated me.
Everyone's different. You shall be responsible for your action and you'll get your punishment sooner or later.
I am wondering if you ever felt guilty?
I must not have the thought of revenge/treating you badly as you did to me.
It isn't the right thing to do.
But I will remember everything and whenever I think of it, the hatred IS still there.
But however, I have my own dignity. This is just a form of respect and basic courtesy for one another.
It doesn't mean you can take me for granted.
It IS hard to understand what you're thinking all the time.

PS : I must also stop envying about other people's lives.
This will only makes me miserable and unsatisfied about what is given to me.
But I can't stop comparing myself with others.
In terms of looks and smartness and their quality of life.
Why are some people so clever and good looking and talented and have so many good friends surrounding them and they seem to live their life to the fullest.
They seem to be happy everyday with amazing people surrounding them.
I just need to appreciate myself more.

PPS : It is time to prepare belated birthday presents! :D

[Edited]
Woke up at noon today and went out with dad and mum to bugis!
It's been so long since I went out with them so finally it is the after-exam period! :D
But the time to start studying is coming and I am soooooo not looking forward to say hi to books.
Oh anyway I bought an adidas bag today!!
Happy max. No more cheap 12dollars backpack from peninsular which got torn easily.
Already bought 2 and both got torn in less than like half a year omg.
And I saw a 150 levi's watch(black and gold v.nice). Anyone? HAHAH.

PS: I want to have a new blogskin but I am really lazy to change and edit the html.
It will take hours to do so and days to make it perfect.
In addition, I haven't pack my room yet. Procrastination suck so much.
My study room is still in a big mess, notes and textbooks are practically everywhere.
Please it IS time to put them back into their respective subject drawer.
I feel good when I see everything is so neat and organized :)

PPS : Was looking through many pictures at fb. Was wondering why their life was so awesome.
And mine was like *&^%$#!@!
Seriously, I think we all shld have met together with a car accident.
Let us take turn to exchange souls in each other's body and let me experience the kind of life you guys had.(like those in tv drama)
You know like when you wake up then you realised you are actually someone else infront of the mirror.
Why why why!! I am so jealous

*

Tgif, the end of post-exam week and everyone's having chinese intensive lessons.
The periods before recess are all allocated for chinese, which means I have extra periods.
Wasted 6 hrs this week for sleeping in the library without any revision.
Seriously, I wanna take a break first and be away from the books in the meantime.

Love 下一站，幸福.
Finishing soon. Left a few episodes.
Because of watching this I have been sleeping late at 3am continuously for 4 days!
And wake up at 5.45am. Lol. Bad for the body, real bad.

Got back all the papers. It is time to study already.
Results are all atrocious.
Imagine I got this for O level I am gonna kill myself.
I worked so hard for Ns just to come to Os.
It is time for some self-reflection before the reality come true.

So here it is! The tradition of typing all the results down.
For reference in the future, like who will keep their report book and flip it to see their results right.

English Paper 1: 40/60
English paper 2: 22/50
Total : 55/100, C5.

English can be improved. Especially on paper 2.
Glad that my paper 1 was quite well done personally for my own standard :)

Maths paper 1 : 28/80
Maths paper 2 : 40/100
Total : 37.5/100, F9

Expected results. You reap what you sow.
No effort put in this time, so it is acceptable.
I will brush up on it. No more complain. No more hating the subject. It is a wake-up call.

Chemistry: 72/85
Physics: 67/85
Combined total: 82/100, A1

Generally weaker in Physics than Chemistry.
This is the results I want as compared to Maths.
Invested a lot of time for science. Some of the mistakes are still unforgivable.

SS: 26/50
Geography: 36/50
Combined total: 62/100, B4

Gave up on SEQ by scoring 8 out of 25 as what I studied didn't come out!
As a Geography student, I just write some of the things related to Globalisation.
Thank god SBQ saved me and pulled up my overall.
And also I told myself to try to do well for Geography so the overall marks will be improved.
So the end result? Expected to do terribly but hello B4.
Although this is my first time getting a B as I always maintain an A1/A2 since sec 3.

POA : 51/100, C6

Lol@this. Did last min revision and practises the day before.
Thought I would screw up the whole paper.
And yet I got like border line passes.
This isn't my standard at all but I should be happy for securing at least a pass.

Chinese O levels, A2.

L1R4 : 21(super ridiculous)
Get atleast 15,okay?

******

I love Wednesday's assembly in the hall.
Finally, no more presentation talks.
So anyway, we had a Capella performance by a group of guys from the army.
Reallllyyy good I swear. Makes me wanna sleep more as it was so relaxing!
And the beatboxing guy was awesome. I don't know what is his mouth/tounge made of.
How is it possible to make those car-engines sound? Haha.

Also, on Wednesday is Sis's Graduation and farewell for Miss Yasmine.
Happy Graduation and I am really proud of you!
I know it isn't easy for you to pull through 3 years of poly.
And had to work as a tuition teacher at the same time for pocket money.
With a diploma, you'll be continuing further education to pursue a degree.
Hope everything will be good for you :)

Also, Miss Yasmine will be leaving to be a Counsellor at Singapore Prison.
So we had pizzas as a mini-farewell to her.

This week rocks. Apart from not attending school. I am spending my days at home.
Surfing the net, watching 下一站，幸福
Especially the weather turns from hot afternoon to rainy evening.
I just lie on my bed under the blanket sleeping and feeling blessed :)
But the thunder woke me up after awhile.

After waking up, watch shrek at channel 5, shengsiong show and now watching the taiwan drama.
Oh and I didn't know Jun yang was one of the judge inside!
Reminds me of p6 days when he's the male contestant I supported in project superstar 1.

I love this kinda lifestyle. Doing whatever I want.
But sadly, it is just for a period of time. ):

And now I have some problems with my nano I am a complete noob at itunes.
I needa seek help from alfred and yeowhui,seriously.
I want korea/chinese/english songs to be organized properly inside my nano.
Currently it is in a mess I don't know what to do it suck so much.
And finally can listen to radio while travelling. Not listening to 933 for close to 2months kills.

PS : I think I will have to adapt to sleep early AGAIN when school reopen.
Slept at like 5am on today morning!
Woke up at 8.45am.
Slept again at 2 all the way to 7. LOL.TELL ME I AM WASTING MY TIME SLEEPING.

I bought my orange iPod Nano already!!
Went to epi centre suntec to buy them. Now in charging process for about 7-8 hrs.
And also free one year membership, after 7 days I can register at apple website! :)
Suntec always never fails to remind me about those banquet working days with Taiyang.
When we will always walked past the same old area, rushing as we were late, rushing to catch the last train, complaning about those bitchy aunties at the hotel.

Anyway, I hope I can go out soon so that I'll have pics to be posted!
This post are SUPER wordy.
Oh and my sony camera sucks. Tried to take pics of my nano but failed the flash are too bright.
Under low light condition the pics quality sucks as it got grains.
Just check out a promotion at canon's website for s90 camera. If only I had the $$.

HELLO, ARE YOU STILL THERE?

After weeks of not blogging, I am finally back into this space of mine!
The past few weeks was busy for Mid-year, in which I screwed up most of the papers. Lol.
There were simply nothing to blog about because there aren't any interesting things happening around me.
School and home. The usual routine of studying and breaks and continue studying.
I agree to what zy posted on facebook, what everyone likes about exam is early dismissal as early as 10am!
Anyway, I slept at around 3.30am in the morning with my sis preparing to fly to Bangkok!
Bon voyage sis, have a nice holiday with your friends followed by our family trip to Thailand :)

Woke up at 1.30 in the noon while texting with Edison for around 1 hour. He replied my message at like 6am!
What a nice friend right I am sleeping then still wake up to reply his message.
Thinking of not having to go school makes me happy :D
Anyway, we humans are weird. Or maybe, ONLY I AM WEIRD?
During examination period, we don't want to study, we want everything to end fast.
After examination period, I felt empty, I want to study.
I surf the common websites, I read the same people's blogs, I just couldn't find something to entertain myself.
When doing revision, time passes very fast. I can study from 3-9pm, continue from 10-1am.
And a day just end like this.
But here are just some things I SHOULD do during the 5 days break(awesome till max)

1. I wanna watch Taiwan drama 下一站，幸福.

2. Buy an orange ipod nano(maybe) to be my companion. I felt so out of the world for not listening to radio for like a month omg. I don't know what are the latest songs, what is the latest happening in showbiz/chinese media industry, interesting facts deejay will share on air in which I can share with my friends too. I don't know if I should wait for 4gs to be released or just wait for another nokia phone! Because it cost a lot of $$!

3. Watch Ip man 2

4. Arrange my study desk because I simply dump all the notes aside once the subject paper is over.

5. Take care of my face because stress+latenights=breakouts. It is really in bad condition now.

6. Sleep for all I want :)

And I would want to blog about yesterday! Everyone studied so hard for Chemistry.
Basically, our class each of us had at least have one piece of chemistry notes on our hands to recap everything.
Because we were all afraid of Mr Danny which is x100 fierce if you don't do well for the subject.
'' This is disgusting! '' , '' This isn't your standard at all, I am so disappointed'' , '' I am shock ''
He will emphasis, for example on the word disgusting till damn loud you will get freak out with his face expression.
But of course, if you done well then definitely he'll praise you. But rarely,HAHAHA.
Even right till the last min everyone still brings their notes into the exam hall and continue reading!
For me, I didn't study Maths at all.
The day before Maths paper 2 was spent on revising Chemistry
The day before Chemistry paper was ALSO SPENT ON CHEMISTRY.
Very disappointed because I made some careless mistakes which I shouldn't be making ):
Unsaturation is colourless I went and choose orange arg.
After all, he give me nightmare! zz. For what man or am I too stress.

I know I am not going to do well for Mid year.
I know I can improve on maths(I just can't do maths can anyone just JUST help me?)
I know I can do POA just for a reason my mind wasn't concentrating.
I felt frustrated. I don't feel a sense of peace while doing the paper.
I know I can I know I can I know I can ..........
Just don't give up. Please. I want to secure my chinese mass comm at NgeeAnn. IT IS MINE!

*

I would also want to blog about Mother's Day.
Our family didn't express and say I love you, you love me and hug each other kind.
But deep down we know we care about one another and I really treasure my time spending with them :)

This is what I found out at a stranger's blog. Really meaningful!
Here's an article that I've read from the newspaper which touched my heart.
I want to share with you all...

I Hate My Mother

My mom had only one eye. I hated her...she was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family. There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.

The next day at school one of my classmates said, "EEE, your mom only has one eye!" I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. So I confronted her that day and said, "If you're only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?!!!"

My mom did not respond...

I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings. I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go to Singapore to study. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own, I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts.

Then one day, my mom came to visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her grandchildren. When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and scare my children!"

"Get out of here! Now!!!"

And to this, my mother quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared out of sight.

One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house in Singapore. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After that reunion, I went to the old shack which my childhood home just out of curiosity. My neighbours said that she has passed away.

I did not shed a single tear.

They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have:

My dearest son,

I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to Singapore and scared your children. I was so glad when I heard you are coming for the reunion.
But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.

I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.

You see...when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye.

As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with one eye.

So I gave you mine.

I was so proud of my son who was seeing a while whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.

With my love to you.
Your mother

You mean the mum donated one of her eye to her son because he was involved in an accident?
To allow her son, on behalf of her mother, to see the world.
Not to get laughed and get insulted, not to get looked down and have a better life in the future.
So she sacrifice her eye all because just for his son?
She couldn't even get out of bed,
she was falling sick,
she was about to die,
she wanted to see his son for the last time,
she wanted her son to forgive and accept her.
And yet she got despise by him, get chased out while visiting his family in Singapore.
Get laughed by his classmates, living alone after her son came to Singapore for further education.
She was living miserably all this while.
Till the very last end she did not have the chance to live harmoniously and peacefully with his son.
All she wish was probably a proper meal with her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
Really touching ):
I wonder how the son felt when he was reading the letter.
