good news

i have good news today!

1. the community libraries have all doubled loans from 4 books to 8 books! and now i can borrow so many more books! -jumps around in glee-

fine i know not everyone is really excited about that. ):

2. my voice is still around! i was pretty much going hoarse ytd and losing my voice but today it's back. but it's dying, i can tell. at least not that bad right, got some voice today! (so my juniors won't have to rmb me as some hoarse girl with no voice) (:

3. our marks were moderated! at least english, higher chinese, and chem were. they were actually my worst subjects so hurray! so i had a WAHH shock when i received my marks today. and pohpoh really seemed to like me. well, it's nice to know. ^^"

now my marks look so much better than they really are. but oh well. it's pretty much useless, since im still lousy. it's just moderating that makes it look good. T.T

4. i got loads of gifts and notes today! when all i expected to get today was my marks. so i was so surprised when ppl like sabrina gave stuff to me (the cookies were nice! your baking is superb as usual), yihui and vanessa too! <3 even though we're all going rjc they still bothered. the co juniors too, they gave loads of stuff to me and even though i don't even know 80% of them they still gave me stuff anw. i was really touched by the time and efforts they took to make all those gifts and stuff. so THANK YOU! i got much more than i expected today.

p.s. got my first flower today. am happy. (:

5. i survived sec 4! survived 4 whole years at rgs and im supposedly a thinker, leader, pioneer now. and uhh according to chen lao shi "she is gracious, poised and works with quiet confidence. she is a very well-behaved pupil and always acts in a sensible manner. She is most attentive in class showing excellent concentration"

i guess it just means im perfectly awake while everyone else is falling asleep around me. ^^" no lah just jk...

anw all my comments are quite good and everything...the general idea is im quiet, polite, hardworking. looking at my sec 1 comments and sec 4 comments, the only significant difference i can tell is that i participate more actively in class now, im more conscientious, im respectful, and now im confident too. that's good i guess?

i rmb in sec 2 mrs koh always says about how her sec 4s are all so mature and good, how when "u girls go to sec 4 u will change and mature like them, from girls to become women who are confident in what they do", "there is always a difference between the lower sec and sec 4s, there's this transition that u must go past to mature, to become like the sec 4s" etc. she thinks really well of sec 4s. i wonder if it's just that batch or of sec 4s in general. am i mature and more confident now? will mrs koh say the same of me as a sec 4 as compared to the sec 4s back then? have i grown into a young woman as she says?

i don't feel much different, except that i have 领悟了生活的一些道理. maybe that's maturing. it's just viewing life through different perspectives.

anw i still have a long way to go so life goes on. last but not least...

6. I HAVE OFFICIALLY GRADUATED A STUDENT OF RGS. THANK YOU. -bows-

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, goodbye.
