I'M ALMOST DONE WITH THE A LEVELS.
Okay, I kid.

Well, at least I survived one week plus of it.

I AM GOING TO WATCH THE TELEVISION UNTIL I GO BLIND AFTER A LEVELS.
Not as though I'm not doing that now but it'll be without a guilty conscience.

Just last Sunday, I told my mother that I couldn't do it anymore, I couldn't force myself to study and I just have no more drive. It stresses me out that I see everyone around me studying so hard but I just can't.

It really doesn't feel like the last day of school. possibly because we are not done with the most-talked-about A levels. Anyway, something tells me that I'm really really miss all the times I spent in CJC. I'm really thankful for the many opportunities I have been given throughout my 2 years of education. They've helped me come out of my comfort zone and excel in the many different aspects of my life. So, thank you mummy for telling me to make CJC my first choice.

My class has played a large role in enriching my JC life and filling it with endless fun. Bel and Gen have been the most awesome classmates, able to tolerate my endless nonsense and all the times that I irritated them. Thanks for being my listening ear on my days of ranting and for helping me and supporting me when I had problems. I'm really really thankful. To the rest of my class, thanks for adding that extra spark to my days, for making me laugh so much, especially Glenn and Megan. Thanks for helping me out with the class funds and for making everything a team effort. I'll treasure the days we spent together.

Choir was probably what got me the most temperamental, stressed, emotional and exhausted but needless to say, the experience of working together with such an amazingly talented group of people was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you JC2 choir members for co-operating with me and for dedicating to doing our very best for SYF. I don't think I'll ever forget the emotional rollercoasters we all had and the moment when all our hard work was paid off. To Guan, Tangster, Kat, thanks for just being there for me. For supporting me and comforting me when I was troubled, for listening to me and being a shoulder I could cry on. Thanks for not judging me for all the nonsense that I did and for the way I did things. I'm really glad we made it through two years. (: I'll really miss meeting up with you all every morning although sometimes we hardly talk due to sheer tiredness. You guys have made my JC life bearable when it was so tough and you all have always been a source of encouragement. I'll miss the nonsense and all the laughter we shared together. It's been simply awesome spending time with you all.

I'm thinking of changing what I blog about. Somehow, blogging about what happens daily bores me.

37 Days to the start of the A levels.
It's really time to start locking myself up at home to study and secure the As.

Anyway, yesterday was the NYAA Gold Award Presentation Ceremony held at Temasek Polytechnic.
It would have been more exciting if we shook the President's hand to receive our Gold (empty) cylinder.
Anyhow, Bel, Gen, Wilson and I chanced upon this really value for money Japanese Restaurant and managed to eat without the time limit to get Gen home.
I left my shoebag there.
Luckily we decided to stay around and window shop and I had ample time ot realise that I wasn't carring my shoebag.
(I realised at the MRT Platform :/)
On our way back to find my shoebag, Wilson found a $2 dollar note.
So if you calculate the net effect, I think it was a rather lucky day.

It's been a pretty eventful first week back to school and I feel as though its been FOREVER since my prelims.
Results on MONDAY and mock exams are starting,
so its no more slacking and let's get geared up for the real thing!

ION ORCHARD. (MY FIRST VISIT)


ESCAPE THEME PARK.


B&J Party/GSS (no photos of the ice cream though.)

I went for the 8th day of SVDP's novena and the homily was really really good. As in, I paid full attention without zoning out or stoning or sleeping. (Snaps for Mag. XX) It was how Singaporeans live life by the 5 Cs.

Criticise
Complain
Compare
Compete
Condemn

And then you really feel like you wish you could say that you don't live life by these five Cs, but OH WELL, I do. It's time for TRANSFORMATIONS! (after As lar.)

Anyway, listent to this song by Daughtry.
SUPER NICE.

SIGH.
I don't feel so good especially after the two papers today. I mean, they were do-able but I definitely didn't do them to the best of my ability. RAWR.
And just yesterday, I told my mum that I might do fairly well for prelims. I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID IT ALOUD.

Today, I told myself that I really needed to start studying Physics, especially since I didn't touch physics at all during the one week break. So, on the bus home, I psyched myself into being disciplined and not turning on the television. Worked for a while. Actually, it's working really good, just that I'm using the computer right now. 

SIGH. Life can't go as you plan all the time.

If you haven't heard. my recent schedule has been arranged around television programmes.
It's really disgusting.
What makes it more disgusting is that I know of it and I haven't make any effort to change it.
So much for DISCIPLINE and determination.

Anyway, I got my NECESSITIES for major mugging today.
They consist of:
1. NUTRITEA - Barley
2. NUTRITEA - Water Chestnut & Sugarcane
3. Meiji White grape coated with chocolate

Done with the first week of papers and now we're heading on to the ONE WEEK HOLIDAY!



Just a passing thought, is what you're doing all just for show?

I like today.
There's this sense of happiness that's overwhelming inside of me.
Quite uncalled for considering that prelims are in a few days.
No logical reasoning behind it too.
But why fight happiness?

I really want to type out a long entry to help untangle on my thoughts but I never seem to have the discipline and the stamina to do so.
Anyhow, there's always point-form when all else fails.

IN THE PAST FEW DAYS I'VE...

1. Graduated from Choir (and the juniors planned a really touching farewell)
2. Gotten two of my wisdom teeth extracted which is why I haven't been to school for two days. (And, I'm on an all-liquid/soft food and non-hot diet. REALLY SUCKY.)
3. Completed my NYAA Gold report though I highly doubt I'll get the award since it contains just a little bit of _______.
4. Made 3 people smile and 1 person cry.
5. Gone for the 3rd combined rehearsal of NDP 2009 and had an AWESOME time. (THANKS SO MUCH OLIVIA)
6. Watched SINGdollar! (REALLY REALLY FUNNY. Not so great singing-wise but it made me laugh alot and overall, very enjoyable.)
7. Moved out of my bedroom to my sisters' bedroom because my other sister needs to be quarantined.
8. Done ONE physics assignment.
9. Bought 2 NDP-related T-shirts. (One is the theme shirt and the other is a nice SINGAPORE design)
10. Completed my SGC and testimonial and conveniently thickened my skin. (:

I'm almost graduating from Choir already. It's been one hell of a ride. WIth alot of work to do, alot alot of stress, alot of pi ba gao, honey water, sadness, tears of stress and joy and it's been really enjoyable. I'm thinking about it like the NET RESULT. So I've survived leading a CCA for a year plus and yes it has taught me alot; from how you need to gain the respect of your fellow team-mates to how useful having unlimited smses is. I made many good friends and I definitely wouldn't have gotten to know them without choir. (Guan is probably an exception since we participate in almost the same activities.) I've learnt time-management, been exposed to choral music and of course been taught the choral style of singing.

To my dearest J1s, (although I really doubt you'll read this),
Continue to remember why you joined choir and let the passion for singing remain strong despite the tough times that may lie ahead. You all are a really enthusiastic bunch so spread that to the new juniors you will all be having soon. Remember that choir is a team thing; as cheesy as this sounds, its true - you are as strong as your weakest player (singer). Stressful times will come but just keep focused on your aim/goal; to keep up the standard of the choir and to give your audience an enjoyable performance as well as enjoy yourselves. No one will be able to give you confidence in yourselves, so don't underestimate yourselves or limit yourselves! Make full use of your time in CJ Choir and you will leave with no regrets. All the best!

Anyway, today was one of those happy days. Where nothing seems to destroy your mood. What brought about the happiness, I'm not so sure. But feeling happy is a really fuzzy feeling. Anyway, Nat said something to me about patience yesterday. About how we lose our patience when we don't understand why others don't think the way we do. So this is the part of SELF-AWARENESS and the next step is to work towards self-improvement.

I WILL BE MORE PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING.
I WILL BE MORE PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING.
I WILL BE MORE PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING.
I WILL BE MORE PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING.
I WILL BE MORE PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING.
I WILL BE MORE PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING.
I WILL BE MORE PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING.

I'm not sure if the repeat-it-seven-times thing still holds, but its worth a try! 

Anyway, it's time to start studying for PRELIMS, but not so fast for me, its still HOMEWORK first.

Dear Friends,

Moaning and feeling depressed about the mid year results aren't going to make the prelim exams or the A levels any easier.
I'm sure you can find the optimism somewhere inside of you to look forward and work towards improving and excelling.
TIME IS RUNNING.
Let's GO GO GO.

IT'S 7 DAYS TO MY BIRTHDAY! 
Now my sister cannot accuse me of being blatant/in-your-face/gross/smelly/digusting/egoistic etc.


UPDATE LATER.
I seem to be having this non-stop heavy head feeling.
Like there's this piece of lead on my eyelids.

AYAYG

EXCITING.





Naturally I only took photos when the Singapore flag was raised.

how long is the ride?

An insight to what's going on in my head now.

HOW
TO
STUDY
PHYSICS
IN
TIME?!
And no one wants to lend me the time-turner thing.
I wish I could say, it's not my fault I have bad lecturers/teachers, but that's really just my excuse on how to be less dissatisfied with myself.
That's one good thing; I'm self-aware.

Anyway, I've been going back to school close to everyday of the holidays. If not for choir, it's studying. But my efficiency rate is about 35% so not much has been done. So, to anyone who's in the same situation as me, it's good to feel regret now because there's still three days to change your fate during the mid-year examinations. (That's supposed to be motivational and inspirational, doesn't quite work though.)

I had this random call yesterday saying that I've won some NDP rehearsal tickets for this saturday. I can't quite remember what the guy said and if this is someone playing a prank on me, I'm going to be so pissed. And they won't be giving funpacks because its not a preview. Anyhow, I can't make it. :(


TIME TO SLEEP.

I'll drop the bomb for all of you who don't know yet.
There isn't going to be a one week extension for the school holidays.
Oh well, that means major, hardcore mugging the next few days!
I have to find some way to complete the 254028760287million chapters left.
If you could lend me the time-turner thing from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I'll be eternally grateful.

So the NDP organisers decided that the LIM FAMILY didn't deserve the Parade tickets despite balloting and asking many many many many people to ballot for them.
):

I wonder what the situation would be like if I didn't speak up, if I left everything the way it was.
It could be self-protection to me, but just selfish-ness to others.
I hate to be mean but I'm actually enjoying my so-called freedom from you.
I'm not going to make any major decisions now as to how I'm going to treat you.
Time will tell.
