♥ 10:52 PM
sorry for not updating for such a long while. was busy studying, plus i got kinda lazy to actually turn on my lappy to come online. lols
so just some short updates on some recent events.
its nt a very glaromous thing, bt i just feel like blogging abt it
UDUU E for PCME GP (3Us, how great)
SCDS E after moderation (how mod really work wonders)
well that doesnt make me any happier or feel better. as in i dont really care abt prelims results cos As is the thing that matters afterall. however well/bad i did, i still have to continue to mug hard for As cos seriously, As are the hardest exams in a lifetime. Os is really nth compared to As. i finally get wht tht means. bt one thing i felt very sad abt is tht DK actually noticed my drastic drop in phy grades for prelims. it was so bad tht he asked me wht happened, my terms i got a B/C, and now for prelims even my SPA couldnt pull me up to an E. sigh. yeah i knew for a fact i screwed up phy ever since i did my paper 3 and 2.oh well. guess im gna take a break from chem and focus on phy and math.
anw so now its just revision revision and more revision. practise papers, practise papers and more practise papers. everyone is stressed out, be it teachers or students. students fervently seeking teachers for consultations that the STI and HUB is always FULL. J2s are all seriously studying alr. no time for joke and play now guys.
okay anw so there was honours night. kinda okay. nt as bad as and boring as rehearsals. bt they printed my class wrongly, like wth. bt i requested for a change, so yea they'll print a new one for me. ended kinda late, ard 9+. plus dinner it was ard 10+. reach home ard 11+. so abt half my class pon sch the nxt day. 14 ppl, think it set a new record for a NORMAL sch day, excluding nats day celebration and etc. kinda pathetic.
then sunday was children's day celebration for the kids in church. we were in charged of game stations. mine was bowling with esther. we used filled 1.5L bottles and honeydew as the ball. it was so hilarious. haha. esp when tommy rolled it so hard that it knocked down the whole row of chairs during the demo, plus the honeydew actually split open! wht a bad demo. hoho. bt it wasn't tht easy afterall cos the bottles are full to the brim, so its really kinda heavy. and for the really small kids, even if their distance is only like a tile away, the really dont have the strength at all to even roll the honeydew. looking at them really shows me how vulnerable lil kids are. bt it makes me feel happy and satisfied and useful, nt tht im stronger than them, bt the fact tht im needed there to take care of them, to teach them, to discipline them, to learn and grow with them. handling kids aint no easy job i must admit, it requires great amt of energy to control and play along with them. its a skill tht comes with experience. yes it is tiring, bt it feels fulfilling (: kids are just so innocent, so pure and adorable <3
during lunch was the shocking news. we received news that our PW teacher mr forrest lim passed away. it came such a shock to us. cos we never knew he had medical problems. so they said he had some medical problems which was heriditary. he had heart attack on wed, went for 18 hrs op on thurs, op was claimed to be successful, bt he passed away a few hours ltr. sigh. and to think i still saw him in sch tht week! so monday came and KC announced it. then we got to know tht he joined AC as a comp tech and decided to teach PW only in 2007, which is to say we're his very first batch of PW students. and in a sense his very grp of PW students which he taught from start to end.
kinda feel bad for this yr's batch of students under him. cos he see them through all the way after WR, OP is whts left. prolly someone will have to take over to mentor the students for PW. bt it'll be like so difficult for the teacher cos he/she will have no idea at all wht the students have been doing and stuff. cos all PW teachers have been with their students right from the start, throughout the whole yr. they'll know how the students progressed, the development of their projects and stuff, they have followed their projects right from the start. so yea you know wht i mean. im sure his students feel distressed and lost too. so im actually kinda honoured to be taught by him, despite us always making fun of him of he looked kinda weird. bt my deepest condolences, he'll be remembered deep down in our hearts for a long time.
ohya and YUEXING flew back from aus and gave all of us a SURPRISE! cos no one knew she was coming back this wk. only her mum knew. her siblings didnt know either until she appeared home on saturday. we were all so happy cos we missed her dearly. and we all thought she was gna make it back only end of nov. she's such an asshole! bt we still love her loads. haha. bt she's only gna be back for a week cos she only has a wk break. so went to chill out with her at starbucks to catch up and stuff. heard many of her stories when she was over in aus. her experiences are always interesting no matter wht cos she made them so.
then tues night went over to her NEW HOUSE for dinner! yea its at international plaza 50th storey. GOSH! its hell big with a freaking high ceiling and lawn! her hse is just so totally cool, dead serious. its super windy at night and so beautiful cos you see the whole city's lights from the hse. plus it oversees the sea too. its just simply AWESOME (: its like she says her dad doesnt allow them wear slippers and shorts down cos its like commercial area, plus her dad's office is downstairs too, how convenient. saying i live upstairs in CBD, how cool.
SATS tmr, kinda GG, thou math is kinda easy, like easier than o lvl. didnt have time prac at all. and english is freaking hard, esp the vocab and all those shit. argh. damn. anw we'll see how it goes, keeping my fingers crossed. plus its hell 4 hrs long. omg. god bless me. bt glad its in AC, an environment im very very familiar with. really thank god for that. sports com, my fav hangout. YEA RIGHT.
5 days to bacalaurate, a month to As.
i pray for strength to carry on.
Lord pls carry me in your mighty hands.
the heart is the first to live;but the last to die
the voice of truth
tells me a different story
the voice of truth says
'do not be afraid'
