THE STORM IS OVER
yea only my 4th post, and its way into term 1 already. imagine jus 2 more terms like that n we'll b rushing for prep prelims n prelims. then soon D-Day will arrive. lol. the teachers all say that the syllabus can be finished by end of term 2, and i must say, that is absolutely ludicruous. so many topics to go in emaths, my word. and Amaths? still got so much of calculus, and have the school forgotten MATRICES? sighh. its no wonder mr tan is in stress. and i am worried too. better start revising all the previous topics la, esp for bio whr there r so many factual topics, and geog. and im seriously aiming to spot qns for humanities. With Emaths being anything, its crucial that i get any A1 that is easy to get.
Wow, what a, "stressful" start, bud thankfully common tests are over already. Its been such a draining 2wks for me. I slept at 130 before history test, at 0200 before bio, and being v tired during class for at least 1 period la. This jus cant continue, bud the fact is that i hv poor self-control. I keep on saying i wun sleep late, bud i never [not sleep late]. I always say i ll keep games to the daytime on wkdays, bud sometimes dey jus seem to stretch [into the night]. Its hard to believe, i still seem to study enough, well, just enough, when others r finding it very busy as well. I really think im as lazy as anyone can be in the class la. i seem to spend so much time on the computer, and when im off it im tired. tired. worse still, PE sure didnt help. now my ribcage feels so pressed-in that it "bites" at me whenever i laugh too much. well, blessing in disguise?
Anyway, i really feel the sch's policy of common tests are poorly carried out la. i mean look at geog, how can we take it on wk6 mon and classes like 4/6 n 4/2 take in on wk7 fri. isnt that too much of an advantage? i mean apart frm the leaking of answers, isnt the time diff bad enough? unfair enough? well i guess mrs lawrence is right in saying there r going to be many things in life which are going to be unfair. and we just got to live with it. Like i said, if they carried out the O lvls in 10wks, 1 exam per wk. even if it starts in September, we wld all be very well-prepared student. That i am sure. and its true, its this huge series of continuous tests which make us "mug". dunno what dey r trying to achieve man.
Well, apart from all that, i am glad to declare that throughout those 2wks, till this wed after physics test, i never played any games, n dat ll prob b my longest hiatus for quite some time. thats right, no DOTA or NFS, or even my beloved FIFA. bud anyway, im still watching the football. it was such a bittersweet valentines day when Arsenal were snatched of a pt when liverpool scored LATE LATE into the showpiece, and it was such a great perf. frm deir goalkeeper, saving a penalty as well. sigh. now dey really have to find a way to put real madrid under pressure.
Hmmm, i got the "Because of you" piano notes frm my neighbour, and i ll try playing it to calm myself down once in awhile to prevent overheating. lol. speaking of that, my computer is so #$#%$@% PROBLEMATIC. always hangs halfway. WTH man and dad said hv to wait till July till can change one frm his office. LONG WAIT. darn. oh well, continue slacking n publish the post while the computer is surviving. =)

TWTWTW is abbrev. for:
THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS
Haha, what a crazy week it has been for me, from staying up late and feeling so sleepy in class jus to force every bit of knowledge into my brain, to the gory visit to the dentist.
WHAT A WEEK.
Ok to address first things first, the big issue today, is that of the release of O lvl results for our seniors, and chinese for us. haha, i never really expected much from the test, and tip to everyone: don't bother betting with me for anything chinese related.
cos i always win the bets.um so if u think of it the converse should be true too! bud that wld mean im boasting, which is so me, what the heck. lol think i won a bet of sher han, and 2 happy meals frm naomi whr i get to keep the toy! dats so. er. lol.
bud away from the funny stuff, fact is i got a B3 for chinese, and although i have always sucked in chinese, it is still a setback. well, i guess i never really felt anything bad about that grade, in contrast to, erm other people, bud anyway, it has still reminded me that nothing is going to be easy for the O's, and although everything seems to be going well for me outside of chinese, i must not let off and fall during the run-in to the exam. yea, also, i really pity those people hu got A2 la. i can only imagine how pissed i would be if i got A2 for a physics or a chemistry.
yea and this week was also the start of common tests, with geography and EM on monday. the splash n using of ur common sense helped alot in geog, where i cldnt believe i wrote a phrase "the bigger they are, the harder they fall" in one qn on how come the poverty cycle repeats itself. really screwed up emaths la, the last qn never even do cos i din understand the DAMN qn. lol. speaking of that i so wanted to curse mr tan for setting such a qn.and then, he hasnt come for the past 2 days, and things seem so different with him. when it was known that he has some problems with his heart [im sure its benign], i really wish him well. Today before the Amaths test, when geography had just ended, Huimin passed me this card where we wld write our best wishes to mr tan, and the first thing that came to my mind was............that i would dedicate the Amaths test to him. bud then fear and anxiety came into my mind. I really have been such a hit-and-miss at recent maths tests, and it has often been scrappy marks ive achieved. fearing that i wun do well, i decided not to write that anymore. well it seems life always finds a way to make u feel remorse for what you have [or have not] done. and the Amaths test was, for the first time in a long, long time, one where i managed to complete the test with full confidence even before the aftermath "sharing of answers and feeling the AGONY and ECSTASY". lol. too influenced by mrs lim. bud to be honest the test was rather less difficult than previous ones, and besides it didnt contain any visualization qns such as PnC or graph sketching or geometry [i SUCK at those by my standards]. k la sometimes i always expect too much of myself, but being someone hu is supposed to b gd at maths and with my dad having the occupation he has, jus cant disappoint anyone man. tough life.
And the past week has been terribly irritating in terms of the rashes on my body. it has grown significantly worse since i last blogged and is sometimes really getting on my nerves. i totally lost it on on thursday when i was finding difficulty with a bionomial qn and the bites itching so much. before i knew it dere were spots of blood on my left arm.
More was to come, on Thursday i also had a terrible trip to the dental. i bled so much that i was feeling sour for the rest of the day la, and i even got so worried that swallowing too much of ur own blood might be harmful, that i even asked mr yu that. lol. bud alas there was great news, something apparently CROPPED up with our chem tcher n combined with other fortuitous events, meant that we need not stay back for ANY extra lesson. isnt that such a blessing? lol.
Well. havent been talking about football, which there hasnt been much significant, except for Chelsea v Liverpool. although chelsea won, their star player Robben dived to cause a player to get sent off. and the manager's reaction was such a comedy. lol. kk enough of that. time to focus on next wk;s tough exams [besides chinese DUH].
Like i said, i ll fight like mad to do well for the sciences, esp CHEMISTRY.
you know it makes full sense.

you are NOT the special one.
Opening word:
Ok, its all black from now on. the other colors [u noe this word is so frustrating cos stupid MSword keeps automatically changing it for u when u type "colours" - the correct version at least for an O lvl compo] dun really blendin with the background la. haha.
Now to start the entry. wah. its really been a tough few days of new year. and to be honest its been a quite suay one la. Firstly, my computer crashed down on me on Friday night! [omg too much of a coincidence ba!], and now its back up, bud it will automatically reboot if i dare to try and play "memory-taxing" games such as FIFA or NFSMW. i wonder, does a PS2 or XboX ever breakdown? its gotta b such a gd investment if the answer is no. yala.
Then, on friday night as well, i realised, i forgot to take my neat n wonderful and uniquely [it is CORRECT spelling] orange, geography file. DAMN! We had to do 2 worksheets n we had 4days and WTH?! I cant do it! for a moment i thought of asking a classmate to scan for me or something, before the thought hit me that i have never, and will never be such a hardworking person! haha. so i ended up worrying up all the rest of the new yr, lol. no la the guilt dried up after the first [friday] night although it came back ytd night. uh my mind is very synchronised.
Following that, on Saturday night, after staying up for the nian chu yi and all that, Arsenal were miserably dumbed out of the FA cup, the holders! dumped out. argh. that makes it 2 competitions in a wk! goodness. now they should beat Real Madrid bud they wun win the champions league, so for the first time i recall, they aint goin to get a single trophy this yr! one word: CRUD [flip-inspired. lol.]
Worse was yet to come. On Sunday, we went to visit my parent's old friend in his HDB flat. and we parked in a very, desolated carpark down below. Halfway while visiting, we heard a [not loud] bud [louder than average] sound, and when we looked out of a window, some greenhorn neophyte could try to park next to our car [which was 3wks old ONLY] instead of all the other empty spaces available, most likely as dere was a tree nearby, for shade. and he hit his rear bumper and caused a huge dent into the front, fortunately the light was not smashed. Amazingly, he drove away. waddehell la. i managed to snap a picture of that with my camera phone, and we went to file a police report, bud i cant think what the police can do la, since the car number plate wasnt snapped, my camera phone not that gd la. bud anw, with the report and everything, at least we cld claim insurance. i was so caught up in the heat of the moment la, and then i was cursing away madly in the car. my parents did not try to scream at me although im sure i wld hv regretted them all the more if they had. well. at least i knew that.
K la, bud in the evening, i watched tennis with my mom, the Australian Open final between Roger Federer the world no.1 and an unknown player frm Cyprus. wah it was such an epic match, with the unknown player starting off superbly taking the first set n breaking to lead 2-0 in the 2nd set, bud the way federer fought back was jus so amazing, he was so calm n composed and he won in 4sets. when he won he jus clenched his fists, not like other greats who scream in "anguish" or drop to their knees, bud when he was presented with the trophy, he was so emotional, and he even cried, telling his opponent "i hope u noe how much this means to me", and it was such a touching moment, that even tears welled up in me! nervous action ba. lol. and i ll try my best to be as composed as i can in the future la. i noe i hv a very volatile temper, bud i ll try my best to resist it, and i hope my continuous persistance will improve that, as well as through reading the bible and receiving more and more of Him.
Well, to end, guess I have been able to make this blog public cause unlike last yr, where i was so easily stressed up by a simple geog exam, or "screwing up" a maths test by my standards, some social problems or swearing madly when Arsenal dun play well or when i suck at a FIFA game, i think i have been able to curb most of that le la. so i ll spew out less repulsive profanities, and end up jus simply blogging....
Till then, really hope the incessant bites and infections appearing on my skin will go away. I really nd some1 to introduce me to skin lotions of what have you [ok besides those frm body shop. haha] . look forward to blogging soon, and HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all, although some may question the auspiciousness of this since it is in BLACK font. yep.
p/s If you notice, the title of this entry has nothing to do with the post!
