last day of school!

hurray! it's the last day of school! the holidays are coming! yayyayyay! -jumps around the room-

ok. -calm down-. received results today. sigh. unfortunately blaws got higher gpa than me! -wails- humph. humph. i got gpa 3.49. so horrible. a biiiiggggg deprovement from last year! gahhh.

oh well. nvm. and can u believe it. the only subject that i got 4.0 for is chinese. CHINESE. sigh. apparently all my hard work paid off. but chinese was the ONLY subject i studied really hard for, and worked hard, reading chinese books and newspapers, conscientiously trying to improve it. and yeah. it improved. IM ABOVE THE MEDIAN! YAY! IM IN THE TOP 50%! YAY! ok. yeah.

im so motivated bcos i didn't want to disappoint my dad again. every year my dad applies for this prize for good results at 沈氏公会, and there's this chinese prize as well. and i always got the chinese prize in primary school. but last year my marks for chinese was like, 68. and my father didn't apply for the chinese prize bcos he said it's too low.

he said if it's above 70 [or was it 75?] then he would apply for it. and it hurts. it hurts a whole lot. and i really really really regretted not working harder at chinese. and so i really want to get above 75 for overall this year. so this is juz the beginning. there's still semester 2. and it's becoming harder. so i have to strive harder. but yeah. i hope it pays off.

and i shall work harder at all other subjects. esp maths. i compared my results with last year's, and realised i improved in all the subjects except for maths and science. science obviously. maths makes my heart ache. my best subject. always get at least 80 and above, -in pri sch obviously always 91 and above- always get 4.0, get A*. now reduced to only A. 73. same as median. how could it be?

it totally broke my heart. and my heart is still hurting. my pride. my honour. sigh. i have to work harder. i have to be flexibleeeee. not stiff and squarish and cannot think out of the box and whatnot. if the easy qns i can't do, and the diff qns i can't do, then what's the point? gahhhhh.

oh fine. i won't type out all my marks. too lazy too. but the gpa yeah.

english: 3.2
h. chinese: 4.0
maths: 3.6
geog: 3.6
history: 3.6
lit: 3.6
science: 2.8
gpa: 3.49

rather disheartening. but sigh. yeah. er. let's see. i haf sl, rs, chinese pt, maths pt, geog ws for homework. and not to forget reading of chinese books and yue du bao gao. uh huh.

SL! our priority. will start on monday. heehee boonyang lives right behind there. but i can't be bothered to go looking for u, so be glad. haha. meeting! we haf to settle our attire, proposal, and stuff. ok.

oh dear. OS! os haven't given me the photocopies for rs!! then how do i do it? argh.

fine. lots of rantings. gah. shall stop here. happy holidays!

as the french say, bonnes vacances!

long weekend!

hahaha it's monday. vesak day was ytd, but yeah there's still a holiday today! whee! i watched star wars episode III, and it's really nice. very very nice! it's rather touching too, thinking that it's the end of the star wars saga. no more. sigh.

ah results for the following -which is horrible-:
Chinese EOI: 73.5/100
English Pt: 24/30
History Pt: 13/20
Literature EOI: 23/25
Literature Pt: 5/12

notice the big difference between lit eoi and lit pt? yeah. i failed one and did exceptionally well for the other. sometimes crapping comes in useful. haha yeah but the percentage turns out to be...not very good.

i forgot all the different percentages for all the subjects, but my best gpa [provided all my marks are rounded up] is 3.528571429... which is the same as blaws. worst gpa [if none are rounded up, which is highly possible too] is 3.428571429. in which i will lose to blaws. humph. but nvm since blaws is so li hai, i shall not be upset over this. heehee.

BLAWS DON'T U DARE GLOAT OVER THIS.

at end of year, i wish to get a gpa of at least 3.6. if possible all my subjects aim for 4! but quite unlikely. since sec 2 is very difficult, and the standards are very high! sigh. got to do my best!

i shall go watch inuyasha now.

friday the thirteenth - White Friday

today is friday the thirteenth. i decided to be unconventional and call it white friday. bcos it's not exactly black and unlucky, and i had my pft today.

*note to all: perhaps you want to check my blog on friday nights, because i tend to blog on friday nights. because it's the end of the weekdays, and the beginning of the weekend. yep. and once a week isn't too much is it?

perhaps today im very unlucky. i got back my maths marks which are horrible, for some reason my bag is very heavy today and had a hard time carrying it home >.<, n on the bus, the bus swerved violently n i fell on top of some poor woman! it was SOOOOOO EMBARRASSING! imagine if i had fallen on top of some sji boy or something! im glad i didn't, that is. that poor lady. -patpat- i wanted to disappear into thin air or something, some rgs girls were laughing at me. haha yeah.

ok. i noe that rgs has lots and lots of stereotypes. the most in fact. i haf decided that our batch of rgs will do something about it, and make a difference. we will prove to them that we are not the stereotypes, we will break the stereotypes, and show that rgs is NOT what u think. unfeminine, unmarriagable, un-sweet, rowdy, only confident n all that crap.

yep. and also, i haf decided that i will say the statistics of my results. my academic results and pft results. because i believe that there is nothing shameful about it, and if u think it's good, u probably will come up to me and wail that im soooooo good. if u think it's bad, u probably won't say anything about it to me. yeah n so, for all who wants to noe my results. and also for me to remember and organise my thoughts down here.

i shall not be embarrassed about my results. i should haf done my best, so i should take pride in my work and my results. even if i didn't do my best, or it's really bad, i have to have the courage to face up to the world, and learn from my mistakes. yep and enough crapping about that. you probably get the idea.

i shall start with pft.

1.2.4km: 12.02min - A. [elaboration on it is in previous post]

2.inclined pull-ups: 7 - C. this is horrible. i did 13, but the teacher claimed that only 7 counted, the others didn't touch the chin. HUMPH. but nvm. i definitely haf to train my arms!!!!

3.shuttle run: 11.33sec - B. A is juz 0.04sec faster!!! ARGH i should haf reacted faster at the beginning, but i always lag when i haf to run. the person says go! but i started a fraction of a second later. n i could haf run faster, i could feel it. n i can't retest unless i get below C grade. so nvm. at least better than last year, in which i did 12.3sec. haha!

4.sit-ups: 41 - A. yay! achieved this goal! i wanted to get at least 40, hopefully 50, but i noe 50 is difficult. esp ppl like me who don't train. n credit[probably contributed only 1%]to blaws' blessing! she blessed me to get 41. yeah. n i did 40, then i decided to do 41 in order to fulfill the blessing. HAHA.

5.standing broad jump: 183cm - A. this is the totally UNEXPECTED one! hurray! hurray! hurray! i wanted to juz get A, which is like 171cm? and i used to do 16something at most, and usually juz do 15something. yet, this time, i didn't slide at all, and i did 170cm the first time, then 183cm the second try! ^^ im overjoyed!

6.sit and reach: 48.5cm - A. this is lame, but i asked blaws to push me down. she didn't push me down enough though, i didn't do 50! and she was scared my spine will break. =.=" only my muscle will tear, and good i can skip many many trainings if that happens. and i wanted to do 50! but nvm. and i didn't really stretch. i stretched at the sit-ups there, while waiting for our turn, and that's 2 stations b4 sit and reach, so it's not that effective anymore. plus im the leader bcos im the first index no. in the whole group, so i haf to go first! no time to stretch. >.<

that's all for pft. total i haf 4As, 1B and 1C. 27 points. yay it's gold! next year shall aim for 29 or 30. everything [except maybe ipu] better get As.

next up, my exam results. WAIT. AT THIS POINT OF TIME, I RECEIVE NEWS THAT MY BRO GOT THE SCHOLARSHIP! A* Star scholarship! the NSS[national science scholarship]! yay! -wail- means he will go overseas to study. sigh. will miss him. but that's 2 years later! LET'S REJOICE! -jumps up and down-

ok back to exam results.

English Brochure: 23/30. [not bad. am satisfied...still waiting for eng pt]
Nature of Science PT: 9/20 [yessss i failed! u probably dun understand how i feel though]
Biology Eoi: 21/30
Biology Pt: 17/24
Maths Eoi: 26/40 [wail n i pride in being good at maths! maths is my best subject! or at least was. sigh. how can it beee?]
Geography Pt [the one on zambia and famine and stuff from longgg ago]: 17/28 [sigheth. but we didn't put in much effort for that]
Geography Test: 17.5/20 [sigh could haf gotten 19.5. that 0.5 我心甘情愿. because i really didn't noe how to do it and anyhow crap one. n she still gave me 3.5/4 for that qn! ^^]

We are still waiting for our Chinese Eoi, Literature Eoi, history pt,and eng pt. yeah.

and the stupid lit quiz. i got 9/15! can u believe it? she said those who did below 10 muz do the poetry analysis! and i got 9!!! humph. but im not going to do it until she gives instructions. hah. and the lit choral speaking thingy is a total mess! >.< and the history debate. i don't noe if im opposition or proposition! so how to research??

and i lent blaws timeline. which is reallyyyy nice! has quantun physics in it! ^^ am reading the handmaid's tale now. which is "la servante ecarlate" in french. ["the scarlet maidservant" directly translated.] monsieur quenot was saying that when he saw me reading the handmaid's tale. haha apparently it's some lit book for sec 3s, but my bro was idiotic and bought it according to the booklist even though he didn't take lit in sec 3. haha but it's nice to read. except a leetle disgusting at parts. but other than that quite nice.

there's the optional history essay on linking star wars and jap occupation. i know how to do it. and i can do it. but i don't noe if i want to. and what's the point of getting his personal collection of star wars trilogy? and i may not even get it even if i do write that essay.

tmr is ora day. [old rafflesian's association day] i haf to go bcos i haf to help out at our track and field booth there. 2nd shift, 9 to 11am. at ri. i wonder what we are selling?i haf absolutely no idea what we are going to do! hope i will enjoy myself, and haf fun ppl!

esp those walka-jogathoners. meee wanteddddd to gooooo. but meeeee didn't gettttt the chanceeeeee toooooo! nvm. better off not going. im SICK. plus my monthly u-noe-what is here. on the pft day. HUMPH. and im having a sore throat! probably from singing too much phantom of the opera, if we hold on together, a whole new world, jap songs, cyndi's honey haha, and such. not to forget the ice-cream i haf today!

If we hold on together

If we hold on together

Don't lose your way with each passing day
You've come so far, don't throw it away
Live believing, dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story, Faith hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by, for you and I

Souls in the wind must learn how to bend
Seek out a star, hold on till the end
Valley, mountain, there is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Worlds are swaying, someone is praying
Please let them come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by, for you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark, we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts … Everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by, for you and I


the music on my blog is the music on "If we hold on together", from the movie Land Before Time. isn't the music nice? so touching, makes me want to cry. -sobs-

ok n so is colours of the wind. really nice. shall put it up next.

n im glad 2.4km is over. but i didn't get what i wanted! i wanted to get less than 12 min, but....apparently the whole class slowerd down. from last year. i suspect it has something to do with the pe we had today. u noe we had such a vigourous basketball match against each other! n so we are tired out. n also i never train for so longgggggggg! so im determined n convinced that i can run much faster.

humph shall try again by myself. ON A PROPER TRACK WITH NO SLOPE WADSOEVER. n beat chloe! she ran 11.18! n last year she ran 11.31! humph. n i heard that xinqi ran 8 min something during pe. 2.4km!? i don't believe it....but i shall ask her anyway. she's so fast!!!!!!!!! -wails-

ok n 5 stations coming up next friday. set lots of goals. hmm.

ipu: 17 -if possible- juz try to get at least c. which is...8 i think. or 7? oh nvm.
sit-ups: more than 40. if possible, 50. but it's too big a jump....
sit and reach: 50cm. of course, to do this, muz ask someone to push me down. chewchew! -patpat-
shuttle run: ai ya juz get A can alrd. 11.3? forgot what it is.
standing broad jump: 177! my lucky no! unfortunately it's mr. kenneth tan. >.<

ok...mainly try to get A for everything. sit n reach, and sit-ups sure get A. probably shuttle run. juz the standing broad jump and oso the ipu. challengingest one is ipu. sigh. my weak arm muscles! shall train it as well!

ok. uhhh still haf my chinese yi lun wen to do. sigh. n the jian bao thingy. n ppl! *RMB TO DO YOUR HISTORY REFLECTIONS! i think i will collect next week. i think it's overdue le, but nvm. remember horrr!

n err. good luck to sec 4s for their pts even after eois. n i dunno if i should go to the rjco concert. >.< blaws is asking me to...
