Hello people. Im back here. The gruelling biology paper is over.And i seriously assumed i would feel the euphoria of the biology paper being over. It turned out that i was wrong. And how wrong was i, because i did not feel the slightest jubilance. It's merely a ," oh, its over." I did not know what came over me, maybe this inkling feeling in me, its like i just know that this whole monotonous mugging will be back to haunt me again. I know it will. And this somehow, one way or another, puts me in a really unsettling mood. And i also dont feel like going to Yunnan so soon, because im so scared that the team will not be together as a team again after the OSLE trip has ended. Really stupid assumptions and fears, i feel ridiculous.I had dinner at AMK hub with yuans and the people - Fish and Co.Fish.Remind me never to enter That Restaurant again. When i was having the fishy dinner, i remembered the scene at the fish market during the NE trip, and how grossed out i was over the bloody scene, where i saw this man just hacking away repeatedly at the veins of a stingray. oh my god. Zzzz, i think i will abstain from fish for god knows how long.I fell asleep, comfortably on the upper deck of the bus, with my jacket draped over me. I almost missed my stop, was kinda glad someone pressed the bell, and i woke up just in time to dash out of the bus before the doors slam upon me. I feel a little silly, but no worries, since i dont even know the people in the bus.I also wish to congratulate Rasina for making it to J2, HOORAY! She's promoted! (: I wish i will be able to promote too.Im ill, really unwell. I went to bed early yesterday night, yet i could not sleep no matter how i blew many times i cleared my nose of mucus, and tossing and turning here and there, only falling asleep at an ungodly 4 a.m, waking up at 830 to try and recap my biology. The biology paper was difficult, it was a tough attempt, but nonetheless, i attempted every single question, i hope i'll be able to pass. Biology is my biggest fear, because i love it, and i cant bear for myself to fail at it.Guess who's gonna assess me for my PW Oral Presentation? * smiles happily*It's Mr K. Chee! Im so afraid that i'll get all tongue-tied and nervous when i see him. Seriously, i joke with him so much that i just cant imagine myself having a straight face infront of him, and actually presenting my PW, hehs.My head hurts, and i feel giddy. I shall stop here. Nanny Daddy's last episode today, will really miss Nicole, lol.Goodnight folks.Labels: Last year's wishes are this year's apologies.
I tell my grandmother that sometimes when i memorise the biology notes, i feel happy. And yeah, i felt kinda happy as i memorise the biology notes just now, even though im slow. I still remember the times when Rasina and i will memorise the biology notes, and when im done with a chapter, i'll wait for her and she did the same for me. It's like she's pacing me, and im pacing her, and that we're not slacking. Now, she doesnt takes biology. And i mug alone, drifting off now and then into the depths of my happy lala land.Which is why i can only finish half the page when others are are already at page 2 or 3 of their notes. But thats okay, slow and steady, lol (:Every JC kids, they have only one wish for all that they have mugged, and that is not to let their mugging efforts go to waste, and that they can promote. I am no exception. I dont care if i have straight Ds for my subjects, as long as i can promote, i dont give a damn. Call it easily satisfied, but its merely me not wanting to expect too much of myself such that when i really did fail, i wont be too disappointed.Bye for now, im off to mug. Dont be afraid people.As long as you all mug, im sure all of you will promote, honest.Labels: i set my clocks early cuz i know im always late.
Okay im a big fat liar! I said i wont be blogging until promos are over, but i couldnt resist the urge to blog. I wanna talk about promos, yet i dont wanna talk about promos. It started on monday, and i felt as though it is gonna end soon. I mean, after biology paper 2 on monday, i know i'll be able to heave a sigh of relief.General Paper on monday was, i dont quite know how to put my finger to it, i just hope i'll be able to do well, alright, scrape that, i hope i'll be able to pass! Maths was on tuesday, i felt pretty disappointed with myself, because after the paper, did i realise i made loadsa careless mistakes. Sighs, when i did the paper, the only thing in my mind was to do well such that Mr chee will not be disappointed with me. I've been seeing him for consultations, and if i did a lousy job, like screwing up, i'll definitely feel pretty shitty for all the time he's wasted on me when he can spent that same time to teach some other people that can do well to justify his efforts. ):Chemistry was disastrous. To screw the entire paper, you require two of my attributes. The first being disastrously poor time management, and the other, being real dense, and uber slow in calculations. I wont elaborate on how i kinda screwed up my chem paper just like what happened in mid years, im just keeping my fingers crossed for a pass too. Actually, if i pass everything, its good enough.I dont like seeing U's in my results slip. Not that anyone does, actually i dont know what im rambling about.With the scandal on China's milk products, im feeling damn low in spirits since im so deprived of my chocolate dosage. Which brings me to another point, im getting damn fat nowadays, and i dont escape from this fact, tee hee hee. At least im not anorexic or bullemic! After the promos, after the promos, i promise not to indulge myself in so much chips, chocolates, cookies, popsicles, ice creams, oh gosh, i just realised the list just goes on and on. im really, simply put, im really eating so much junk food, and getting so fat man. But thats okay. I'll try, uh yeah try haha, Try only, yeah try and not eat so much junk.Biology is totally a sian subject when it comes to hardcore memorising. The bio lecturers did offer some clues, but im not gonna study based on the clues. Im gonna just study everything except for genetic variation. Those crosses are making me go cross eyed! X.X Nevermind, gambateh eileen! =)Oh yeahs, thanks for the good luck messages many of the friends sent me! I was so touched! Thank you! And im getting so excited regarding post promos! That shall be a boost to make me study hard!Days of lazing on the beach with a book in my hand, under the sun, shopping, movies ( especially mama mia ), and osle trip!Im so looking forward. JIAYOU EILEEN! AND THE REST OF THE PEOPLE HAVING THEIR PROMOS! =)Labels: For the moments i feel faint, no worries (:
Yeahs, promos starts tomorrow, and will end as immediately as it starts (:I'll word hard, and so will you guys!I wont be blogging anytime soon, i guess, so here's the generic " good luck to everyone!"Gosh, i shouldnt be here, and so shouldnt you.Labels: byebye and hello.
Promos is just round the corner, and i dont know if i should blog. But here i am, blogging away happily. Sounds kinda dumb, but i just dont know. why i want to. I feel so stupid for breaking down yesterday. I didnt know what happened to me, and i cant say that Stress is working itself on me, because i dont really think it is stress. I was in the library yesterday when i suddenly became very quiet. No jokes could make me laugh, and i grew all solemn and did my functions tutorial. Piano, Lc, and sher are all trying to make me laugh by saying funny things, but i really cant bring myself to laugh.
And i lied to piano, saying i was quiet because of stress. Im so sorry.
I didnt know what trigger me to stop talking, when im always the most talkative one. Probably, i was reminded of the past by Piano. I remember, yesterday, i was telling her how difficult parametric differentiation is, and she said, " its so easy!"
And then, i had felt so stupid, like someone who cant make it for JC, and yet, still stupidly indulge herself in the fantasy that she can make it. I felt so dumb, felt so worthless. I dont blame her. She's not the one thats making me sad. I just felt sad when i suddenly thought of those secondary 4 days, when i told rasina the same thing, " differentiation is so difficult!"
And she'll say those funny and ridiculous things that i'll burst out laughing.
And thats when all the nostalgia came back, those suitcases of neatly packed up memories i thought would not haunt me.
On the way home in the bus, i shut my eyes as my mp3 continued to play. Tears welled up, but since my eyes were closed, they did not tumble down my cheeks. I felt like this really stupid and weak person who just kept clinging on to the past.
Memories came back to me, all together. I was reminded of what happened when i felt so sad in sec 4, and gavin and rasina were laughing happily, when i suddenly cried. I remember they wanted to laugh, but they held their laughter and handed me kleenex. Lol, i cried, and then laughed when i saw their really funny faces!
I guess im too emotional. I got to look at things on the bright side, and look Forward.
I dont wanna be the same weak person i used to be.
I hope mistakes will make me stronger, and i'll move on from wherever i am, right now.
But no matter what, you, and everyone else, will forever be a part of me.
Oh yeah, i miss Glen's voice, and his phone calls. I feel myself go real disappointed these two days when my phone didnt ring at 1230. But i really hope to see him soon.
He is one of the people in my life that constantly reminds me never to take things for granted, and me to cherish whatever i have, and look on the bright side of life.
Ultimately, one cant live a life of complaints, and sobs.
We live to laugh, and we laugh to live.
Goodnight, and all the best for promos and a levels everyone!
Yours sincerely,
me.Labels: love; somewhere i thought i'll never be.
I woke up at 5, just to try and attempt the chemistry promos 2006. Just my luck, that was the one that sherlyn handed me, and she handed me the wrong one, because when i happily did everything, i went to school and realised it's the 2007 paper.Thats alright, then while doing biology time trail, i wrte till i fell asleep, and ms peh had to wake me up ): It was so embarrassing, but i was so tired. In the end, i didnt know what work i had submitted. Dang.I had maths consultation with lee chia today, we met mr chee. He is kinda nice, just toooooo lazy to get into the staff room to get the maths tutorials because i didnt have them!The surprising moment is now.After maths consultation, i was about to leave when my phone rang, and guess who? The cute voice that calls, " jiejie!" Yeah, it is Glen.It was an euphoric moment that didnt last because i got really sad after we hung up. Him promising me he'll be a good boy, and study hard, and that he wanna give me something, and wanna see me soon. He told me he miss me.I miss him loads too. Sighs, we'll go back soon. He called peiyu as well, and he told me he'll call nic, though nic hasnt received his call..Today, physically, and emotionally exhausted.Labels: i got lost on the path of life., today
I was up bright and early, and headed off to CCK at 7 plus. I thought i was gonna be late, but i didnt. I slept so much on the train yet i couldnt get rid of my lethargy. Met up with the rest of the OSLE team and we went to Sunbeam's children home i think. Then we had some ice breakers' games, and off to sentosa where we visited the dolphin lagoon and underwater world.Actually, i dont wanna blog about the details. I just wanna say how i feel, which i didnt say during reflections and debrief time because i just didnt. I didnt want the oh-so-touching- kind of reaction from the team. Peiyu, Nic and i were in the same team, together with the kids, Elis, Elene and Glen. I like us, all of us. I love the kids. They are hell loads more understanding compared to my brother, and sometimes, i think my brother doesnt even appreciate the fact that he has got a computer, a roof, and a nice family.Sometimes, people just needs to be awoken. And i must admit, i was truly truly touched today. Glen, the 8 year old boy we had, is the best kid on earth. He's not rowdy like any others, and he is really sweet and caring.He fed me m&ms, and he told pei yu and i, " jiejie, can you all be my godsisters?"I was really really touched, i felt, this boy needs all the love we can give him. And even before we go to sentosa, he told all of us ," jiejie, i will miss you all when we go home.."I didnt say this during debrief. i didnt want those same reaction. I'll keep this in my heart forever. And i dont deny, i cried. I lowered my head in between my knees, and cried, as i thought of the entire day, him playing innocently with the sand, not giving the dolphins any attention despite us being in there for the dolphins' presentation.And him crying because peiyu and i didnt let him sit with peiyu herself, and me apologizing to him till he said, " i bluff you one lah jiejie, i forgive you." And i hugged him so tight, he did hug back, which was the really touching part.Peiyu, Nicholas, Esther and i promised to go back there together after promos. I want to, please go back. I can still see his innocent face in my mind.Those kids, a single candy, can make them so happy, and so thankful. So, why why why, are we not appreciating the every little things around us? I think everyone needs this sort of wake up calls now and then, and i know, i just had one.Thanks to everyone who've been there for me, and i thank my fate for giving me this chance to have such a happy family, and im also grateful, for being in OSLE, and taking part in this.I miss the kids already, ironic since i've got a brother at home that prefers to have the computer's company.Thanks to the kids, my buddy group, the osle friends. You guys make this day, one of the best days of my life. And thanks for the fruit punch, it was kinda yummy and kinda too sweet at the same time.Night.Labels: devastating departure
HELLO!
I didnt fail my chemistry, i got a B. Surprising huh? I was taken aback too, maybe i really do have some luck here and there, geez.
But i flunk my maths test, the one on vectors. I was truly disappointed, but i knew right from the start that i'll fail, because as i was attempting the entire paper, i could only do the question on MI. But i cant say i failed badly, i didnt get a single digit, i got like 11 over 30.
Okay, bad enough.Will be meeting up with yuans, sher and Lc to try and practise my maths tomorrow, and it'll start from 830 till god knows when. but i really will try my bestest, hehs, dont wanna let Mr Chee down you know!Today's bus ride was the happiest bus ride ever since..ages ago. This is because Gavin, haniffa, and i took the same bus today. I still remember our promise of taking the same bus every morning, but it's always just me and haniffa, or me alone. It's been so long already, and we took the same bus today! We sat in a row, and all of us leaned against the window and slept, lol. When i turned back,i saw haniffa sleeping, and gavin sleeping, so i went to continue my sleep. Then for some strange reason, i turned back, and saw haniffa awake, so i talked to him somethng, which i really dont know what i said, and haniffs doesnt know either because he was sorta half awake. (: A really happy bus ride. Do you know that every single time i have them taking the bus with me, i feel tons safer than when i take the bus alone. Because, okay, it may sound lame, but i feel like they'll be there to protect me if anything else goes wrong, so i can sleep at ease. Thanks guys! =And i took 22 home alone. I went to the upper deck, which was a rare occassion since i dont prefer to go up. As i sat right at the back, i felt this " top of the world feeling " because it was so high up, and i could gaze at everything outside the window! I didnt use the journey to sleep, i looked at everything around me, and sipped my bottle of tea happily. I listened to songs that i always skipped, and i felt the all time nostalgia all over again and again and again.And again when i stumbled and almost fell at the carpark as i walked home. Then, i remembered about the same incident when i fell and called joseph. I felt somewhat helpless as i just stood there and wondered how on earth i fell. There's just nine more days left to promos, and im praying that i'll make it. Hehs, dad got me a chocolate bar! (:
Jody and Karyn! KARYN IS UBER CUUUUUUTE!I miss all my cousins, havent been gathering lately!Look at how much she's grown, sighs.
My new spectacles! And the OSLE SPARTANS shirt!There's my name! i think the logo's pretty impressive!I havent been letting down my fringe for quite sometime, but it really is comfortable without fringe! Fringe is like, grrrr, really irritating!
This was taken at Paya Lebar, and it was a photo that was long overdue.Taken when we went to wrap the flowers, the cloud is pretttttty.
Well, i'll go off now, will read up on some maths, and tomorrow will be another gruelling day!GOGOGO EILEEN!Labels: These nostalgia just wont go away.
Hey y'all.
I didnt go to school yesterday, and some people may have misconstrued that i ponned lessons because i wanted to stay at home and study. Maybe that could be the reason why, but really, the primary reason why i didnt go to school yesterday was because i was ill. Early wednesday morning, about 1 plus, i woke up, and was wheezing like mad. mom had to feed me pills, and dad had to rub vaporub ( Vicks ) on my nose, i had to keep rubbing that until i was able to breathe and then sleep. I fell asleep at an ungodly hour of 4 when i had to wake up in an hour or so time.
So i didnt go. But i hope i'll be able to catch up on what i missed out soon.
Oh yeah, yesterday i collected my new spectacles. Im okay with it, just, it seems to feel weird, and i really love my old one more (: After that, around 9 plus at night, i taught yi xiang some chemistry concepts at his house's void deck, and a grey cat seemed to be stalking us as it followed us wherever we went!
Yixinag's chemistry... is not that good. He told me he's been getting Straight Us for all the chem tests, even minor ones like MCQ. I tried to help, hope i did enlighten him on certain things, and i reached home at, 1156, close to midnight, but just not yet.
I felt so tired, but i realised i have yet to complete my I&R, so i got ready some biscuits and a cuppa tea, and went ahead with my I&R, not much of a good effort i'd say, but nonetheless, i did try.
Just realised im so screwed for chemistry test because i studied only bonding. The test's on Equilibrium, electrochemistry and just that. I didnt know, and holy crap, i think i can just get a coffin for myself and lie straight there, maybe i'll bring myt chemistry notes along, but i'll chuck out electrode potential because i cant understand a single damn!
okay, erase the previous joke about coffins and all.
Gotta go now, am now in the comp lab when i should be having PE.
I see Yuans blogging, haha.
SEE YOU, and spare me some luck, or you may call, affinity with the paper!
=)Labels: But sugar, you already know. (;
Today, there's an incident. It's not the first time that something like that has happened.Yeah, its yincheong. He always seem to walk past my friends and i, and he'll purposely try to block my friends, like haniffa, or yuanxin, and then afterwhich, he'll stare, with his girlfriend.Today, i did something mean.I stared back when he stared at the group of us.I didnt want to, because im afraid, im scared.Not of him, but of what i'll do when i lose control of my own temper, and do things that i'll eventually regret doing, like starting a fight or something.I told myself, i'll never stoop that low, but sometimes, i really cant control it.I dont hate him, i just dont understand his rationale for trying to pick on us. I dont wanna play along, i shouldnt.Everyone's right, i do have some real bad temper, im impatient.But i wanna control all that, i wanna have happy memories in NYJC.So, back to studies. I wanted to pon GP today, but i didnt.And i went, and got back my GP common test paper 2.I passed, 22.5/50.The euphoria i felt, i was over the moon. I told myself i'll work harder.But then as i see all the loads of stuffs stacked high on the table, and littered everywhere on the floor.I really dont have the will to continue.I hope all these will go away soon.I took bus 22 with haniffa today, and he made me a funny face when i alighted, the holey face.Thanks to all my friends who stayed with me despite being threatened by yc.I really appreciate that, because when the entire charade falls,I know i can count on all of you.Labels: lost the will to fight.
Im so tired! ( not an opposite joke) , i really am!Today's maths test was a disaster despite having studied for it, i concede defeat. Im no longer the knight with my swords, just some loser in aluminium foil. Caught a terrible cold due to running in the rain today, makes me feel so tired and sick.Besides, i dont know, nevermind im going to sleep.STUDY HARD PEEPS! (:goodnight.Labels: you and i collide.
I was almost certain the tears in my eyes could be seen, as i listen to something that was being played. A beautiful melody, something i had wanted to hear, and something i wish i can hear again. But i doubt it, really.
Thanks to Daniel for the invitation to his house for the bbq party, his house is splendid.
Thanks to pei yu and yi hao, as well as jing chun for going home with me.
Thanks to nicholas for waiting for me ( i was 45 minutes late ), and taking the train with me.
Goodnight.
