Some results were given back

Today the teachers returned Math paper 1, GP compre, and Chemistry Paper 1 and 3. None of the results are satisfactory. All of them were atrocious. I have to work much harder with more discipline now. There's only 1 chance left, and it's do or die. I have to work out my plans properly. Basil says the aim now is to complete 3 papers or more a day. That means consistently doing questions and such. All the way!!

School starts tomorrow

Oh there's 2 weeks of school left. And this coming week will see students beaming or weeping. It's the final school examinations before the National Exams (A levels). Everyone's tensed up, or so it seems. Geez, I'm wondering if all my entries are centred around studies. Call it studyo-centric or perhaps a form of muggo-centricism.

But anyway, I signed up for basic driving theory test today, with 10 lessons of practical lessions on circuit training. 5 lessons in Oct, then a 1 month break, before resuming on a driving craze the day immediately after biology paper 1. Basil's keen on following my plan, just that his 'after-a levels craze would start earlier than mine, as physics ends earlier. This shows that we have something in common. We want to finish this course fast, so that we can drive on the road as a qualified driver! Both of us are into manual and auto, while Shun insists on only auto. His dad claims that it's relevant now to drive auto, and it's more practical that way. We took a long while trying to convince him otherwise, but he's left unshaken haha.. look at how influencial his dad is over his decisions. I'm sure our dads have as well. So after that fruitless attempt, Mike, Bas, Shun and myself headed to LAN shop near PS, and played DOTA, and Counterstrike Condition Zero. We landed there because Bas didn't know that Bugis' LAN shop was under maintenance, so we had no choice but to find somewhere else. And unfortunately, we missed the train because we didn't manage to squeeze throught the specific door of the crowdest carriage. We didn't realise that other doors were rather empty >.< Haha was hilarious.

Mike left right after the LAN session, and the 3 of us found our way to Subway for lunch. Shun ate an entire foot-long sandwich, while Bas and I sat there eating our 6 inch long teriyaki chicken sandwich. Bas could have eaten more if not for his lack of budget. For me, half a foot was enough haha.

Trying to get back to work now!

On a sunday

There's no school tomorrow..and getting back to work is tough, because the mood isn't available. I have to be disciplined enough to get myself to work. Ahh..oh wells..it's a sunday night.

Mentioned to someone that she looked really pretty yesterday.

Anyway, today's church service was good. Sang new songs like King of Glory. Good mix of contemporary songs and hymms. Haha our worship team's great!

Basil, and Weishun has so far agreed to play LAN tomorrow at Cathay. Hhaha hope there's space.

A day of fun

Well today was a good break from all that mugging! Had long johns at Marina Square today, and then went for a movie at cineleisure, called the invasion. This movie talked about some foreign organism that could alter human's DNA and override their conscious mind. It was not bad a show. Had church worship practice at 4pm today till about 6.40pm, before I rushed down to Jln Leban (not sure how it's spelled) in a taxi, which got lost, and took up some time. But it made me arrive at the right time when Jess, An Chi, and Hui Qian chanced upon me at the restaurant. Pretty good timing eh..

Eventually came another movie at one of their houses. They were so crazy about Jude Law, so they decided to watch the movie "Closer", which they concluded that the show was bringing out a point on transient love, though i thought it was rather pointless. It was just the 4 of them having complex relationships, and arguing and sleeping with one another. But then, there's that actor they so admire. So guess the movie's pretty much worth the watch.

Tiring day it is. Running around here and there. Oh wells..church's practice at 7.30am tomorrow, before the service at 8.30am.

prelims have ended

In a blink of an eye (this phrase was famous in the primary and secondary school days), prelims is over. 2 weeks, and it just flew past like that. Imagine A levels! or even the preparation time! 16 oct is the date of our official graduation day. As much as I want to get out of this 10 year education system, somewhere in me is telling myself that I'll miss those memories dearly. And then once it's over, they'll never be back. Uniform days will be over so soon. Haha, uniforms that gave everyone a status of where you belong to, a name that carries through the daily clothes that we wear to a place where academic learning (somehow in a classroom) takes place. No more teacher's day celebrations, pledges, national song, school song, and other funny celebrations or crazy stuff to do in a school or classroom. But moving on means moving on! Those will be fond memories that I can share with my classmates, schoolmates, or any other friend that may happen to ask...and we'll begin with 'those were the good ole' days!' haha..

its about 40 days left. so hardwork all the way! Anyway, the cohort phototaking will be this coming wednesday at 3.30pm. Final big picture we'll take to show that we all have grown up much over the past 4 years together as the pioneer batch!

Bio left

Math paper was a killer today. Guess this was good exposure for us. Hopefully the grades aren't too bad. There's only biology paper 2 and 1 left. And it stretches till friday!

Math paper

It's math paper 2 tomorrow afternoon. Spotting questions for pure section: AP/GP, Complex loci, Applications of Integration (Area, Volume), Maclaurin's series, Conics (perhaps), Vectors (probably). But it'll be 40 marks. And stats will make up the other 60 marks.

All the best!!

Sunset


It's a beautiful sight. The sunset at 7pm. Unfortunately my dad's camera went out of batteries and I just had to take the photo with my handphone. I don't get to see such sunsets often, especially during school term when CCA ends at 8.15pm.

Non-stop exams

There're 5 papers left. And friday's coming soon. But that day marks another long intensive study period to prepare for the A levels. We really can't catch a breath! Chemistry's tomorrow, followed by Math and Biology. And that should end the 2 week long prelims.

It's been 6 years since I've had such a massive major exam. That's like 1 third of my life spent doing stuff preparing for this examination? Seems scary huh. But it's just a phase that we've got to live through. The family's planning a holiday to New Zealand during Mid December. Guess I deserve a good break hahx. Driving's on my to-do list as well, can't miss that out...

Hope the rest of the papers do fine! Thankfully my brain's still functioning =)

Probably gonna miss school life right after I graduate though.
