DONE. OVER. oh well.

Man it feels great to finally get the prelim pracs. over and DONE WITH.
AND that this skin is finally up. Not that it's supposed to take that long, just that with PREPS and PRACs. i could hardly find anytime to put it up and do the editing and what have you.

But anyway, quite amazingly, its been MORE THAN A MONTH since Ive last blogged, and it feels so weird right now. Anyway, i ll still get on with this "familiarising" entry. Noticed the fonts a little tighter, but i think its sort of less messy. My thought. And, hard to believe, the many weeks [5, 6?] we had with no pressure whatsoever have just passed us by. I mean our schedule now is quite like a cyclone, with the pressure-free zones and the high pressure zones. whatever;

And I've had to have this near-impossible task of balancing football with studies now. I guess Ive studied lots during the period of time which in football terms I'll like to call, "post-world cup pre-EPL" period. But know its tough, and its tougher when MY arsenal are not getting results. Argh. Yet again its that cliche, trying to "pass the ball into the net". Its frustrating. Even more frustrating when people keep saying they are the best passing team in Europe.

Bah. Schedule is bad, bad. Man U - Arsenal and Chelsea- Liverpool are taking place on Sunday 17th September, which is, midway through prelims. After that theres champions league too. damn it sucks. zz.

But for now i ll try to make the most of the holidays, which im sure we all would. PREPS. has been OK. sadly not much progress, which is the most important thing to get through these tests that count for nothing, nothing at all. For once, i screwd up CHEM. Worse, i screwd up COMBINED HUMANITIES. This is quite a collapse la. My A1s from sec3 till now [which i am VERY proud of], suddenly become a 27+26=53/100. ya at least im still proud of it. zz.
Well, at least AM and BIO were my alternatives. Thats the good thing about R5 when u take trip. science i guess. its pick 5 from 7. these subjects were big boosts la. but the one i needed most still hasnt come to fruition. Hopefully, its hasn't YET. But time is running out fast, and english is a language. Its not easy. I think it certainly is within me but sometimes it just doesn't work out.

For the moment, its teachers day tomorrow. Mdm Chan should be delighted that we got top for chinese, i mean imagine how well we could have done if I wasnt in 4/7. [yala thats too modest of me, so also, conversely, imagine how slightly poorer we could have been if i hadn't contributed my share of A1s to the class, aha]

Today, seeing Mr Tan really made the day, i think. Man he really looks visibly skinnier. Guess stress amounts to less time for exercise and perhaps, less time for the brain to focus on digestion? I mean, thats a relatively old human brain we're talking about. lol.

I wonder, if anyone has dared tell Mr Tan about the state of our maths now, i mean under Mrs Chong's influence. I could only imagine, if TTP was around, the difficult questions we would have to do. Not just difficult, unnecessary, i should add. I mean, its frustrating doing all the freaking difficult PnC qns isnt it. After awhile, no? Doing all the integration of linear function divided by linear function-its not easy! Its difficult, perhaps a waste of time, and again revolving back to that word, STRESS. At a time like this, surely the last thing we graduating students want is to be stressed over maths questions which we cant seem to solve. I mean, even for a person like me who's not that devoted to maths, i still get pissed when i can solve a problem. And that pissed attitute sort of renders one unable to study other topics, more pressing matters. Haha thats my phrase. Regardless, TTP is STILL the best teacher ive had by far, really. If anyone needs proof of that, read the entry not long ago-its really not that long ago and already his absense is felt. Im just trying to say that Mrs Chong aint all that bad. I mean, she has a good track record, last year. Yes, past glory, students individual efforts people may say, but its something she deserves. So, i think all of us who have reservations about her should think twice about it. Quite honestly, i sometimes get sick of her apparent poor teaching methods, which was minimised for a simple topic like vectors, but then amplified for relative velocity. All in all, i think she aint THAT bad a teacher as many people apparently see her to be. Lay it off her yeah?
heh.
