I haven't been blogging for AGES! Been really busy lately, lotsa papers to do and mock tests one after another, which sadly to say i only did well for bio. Im really happy with my structured qn part.. i got 40/50. I could have gotten 46! I got the WHOLE of the 2nd last page which consists of 6 marks wrong! I only studied the pyramid of biomass and numbers part of ecology so i wrote nonsense for the ecology qns and left 2 blank. WHAT A WASTE! But im grateful for my marks, its really by God's grace coz i only studied 9 chapters of bio. Im happy. =) If i actually put in more effort, i wld definitely have scored higher.. and of course i need God's help! As for chem and physics, i can only shake my head.I hate late nights! Everytime i slp late i go to sch looking and behaving like the living dead! Its super draining to listen to lessons, you try very hard but nothing seems to be going into your head. =( Today was quite an ok day, i got aiyun into trouble coz we were talking, ironically i started the conversation but she was the one who got caught by the teacher. Aiyun, im sooo sorry! I notice that whenever i mess around with aiyun, she's always the one who gets into trouble, except for the time we both got caught for playing bingo in class. The last time, i pasted the teacher's post its on her and the teacher scolded her for playing with post its. But sometimes i do suffer retribution, yesterday i smeared cream on nabi's face and i had a cake smashed in my face! Ms ong spent physics lesson going through our practicals. Learnt quite alot of stuff that i never knew bout practical, its very useful.. at least i won't be throwing my marks away. During lesson i kept throwing the cloths in the lab at aiyun and lejing.. was super funny! esp. lejing's reaction. My friends all had that *diao* look on their faces and yuan hao kept asking me to grow up. I dun wanna grow up.. cannot is it?! It's not that childish right? Oh well, looks like the stress has done something funny to me.
During bio, we started the cloth fight agn and our bio teacher had that really funny look on his face when he went "OI!" We got our practicals back, im happy to say that they were quite welldone. =) Then our bio teacher was telling us to pick out the important points of chapter 21 and split us up into grps then we moved to other grps to copy their notes. My stupid grp members bang seh me without even finishing the main points.. was screaming at aiyun when my bio teacher went, "who is that auntie screaming?" all my friends burst out laughing. It was quite funny lar. Later when we were leaving the lab, i saw this textbook and foolscap on the table so i asked who they belonged to only to find out that they were mine.. -_- Lejing and aiyun kept laughing at me coz i was sooo blur. After bio was a math and e math, then school ended!
Went to the clementi kfc for lunch, we were talking nonsense throughout. We were talking bout ice cream moon cakes and the dry ice that came with it. We were talking bout the stupid things we wld do. I would throw it into the toilet bowl while eunice wld throw it into her grandmother's laundry tub. haha.. alina said we were weird. Went to NTUC and bought sweets for ourselves and our mortals.. i haven't blessed my mortal for ages! I'm slacking away now, i better get some work done later...

Oh dear! Im suffering from insomnia!!! I haven't been able to slp well for the past 2 nights.. i want my slp back! Ok, sch started with chapel today. Why have there been so many BGR talks recently, there was one during chapel. After chapel we had physics practical, walked into the lab and saw the stupid lab technician. We all straight away went "OH NO! not her agn?!" Our previous lab with her was terrible, she kept yacking non-stop.. to the extent that the teacher cldn't stand her too. Like hello? we are trying to do our practical, can you please shut up and leave us in peace? She seriously can't shut up.. and shes cranky! yes! she was the 1 who scolded me for chopping up celery during bio. We finished our prac early so for once we had early dismissal from physics so we had early recess. *yay* After recess was english, teacher was going through the compre bout barbie dolls getting banned in Saudi Arabia, then she was talking bout barbie in traditional clothing, she didn't know how to say and i had to go TUDONG!! She was like -_-||| After eng was bio practical, walked into the lab and saw the lab tech agn! Yuan hao was like how do you feel bout seeing that same woman 2 times in a day? Josephine and i had disapproving looks on our faces. Highlight of practical was when ken broke a test tube, yuan hao went "eh, everybody stop doing, lets watch the show" as soon as he finished the lab tech marched over to ken and started yacking, she was like why are you using the cloth to clean? do you know that the glass will get stuck inside?! then ken sd in a really pissed voice, use what? then she said "paper!" then they started arguing over how to clean up a broken test tube. It was quite funny, almost the whole class stopped their practical to watch. Kudos to ken for pissing the lab tech off! *claps* Everyone just can't stand her lar! Everyone was talking bout it for the next 15 min or so.. lol.
After the bio was the double bliss of a maths and e math back to back. Someone just had to piss our a math teacher off. She didn't tech for the whole lesson and she sd she wasn't intending to teach for the subsequent lessons. Like what the heck lar! Whack the stupid bugger! If ms lee stops teaching we are gonna die for a math lar! die.. how how? argh.. After a math was e math, then sch ended. Went home and slacked. Was watching inuyasha, i just finished episode 25 yay! I better do some math later. If tonight i really have problems sleeping, i will start reading my textbook coz everytime i start studying i will start dozing off.

O lvl chinese results day. Rushed up and glanced at the staff rm coz they usually all the stuff there. Nothing there. Physics lesson was 1st period, physics teacher was asking ppl who didn't complete their physics paper to stay back for self study, at 1st she sd those who totally didn't do, so it was a mix of instructions... hehe.. so lotsa us didn't stay back =p Next was bio, started our bio test.. bugger! alot of the qns that came out were frm the chapters i didn't study! But could still do, relying on the feeble recollections of the chapter frm last year. Was in the middle of the bio test when everyone started screaming, looked up and noticed that the chi teacher was at the door way with the o lvl results! Totally freaked, my heart started beating real fast and my hand started shaking. It shook so much that my words all turned out squiggly. The bio teacher didn't want to read it out til our test ended. haha.. syang sd if he read it out during the test everyone will just do badly. Test ended heart raced when teacher read out the results, i felt kinda disappointed when my results were read out. I got A2 and merit for listening and oral. Then started to get upset. Next was chinese, cried abit during chinese. Felt quite stupid, like my gd friend got B3 and shes crying while i got A2 seemed as if i was making a mountain out of a mole hill. But its something that not everyone will understand. Alot of people expected more of me for this exam, they all expected an A1 frm me. I remeber the chinese HOD and teacher telling me, you can do it! you will definitely get that A1. My mom expected an Ai, i even told myself i cld only get an A1 and nothing else, but somehow i juz lost that hope. When we talked bout saying gd bye to our A1s we really did.. haiz.. I feel disappointed coz i failed to meet up to the expectations that others have of me, and i failed to meet up to my own expectations i felt quite inferior. Another thing, practically like half the class got distinction so it wasn't something to be very happy about.. thats such a stupid mentality i have here!
Im not gonna retake, i don't wanna go through that shit all over agn. At least i improved, and i have God to thank for that. God gave me a distinction, he didn't let me get a B. I think if i got a B i wld have just crumbled. I know how it feels like. When i got a B3 for my o lvl chinese last year, my world just crashed. I broke down in front of everyone in the hall, i had no mood to do anything. Out of all the higher chi. students, the lowest grade was B3, the feeling really sucked! The worst part was breaking the news to my mom, i cldn't do it, i was so scared and i dreaded it. Because of that B my next few days were full of downs, mum sorta grounded me and i got screamed at. During this period of time, i felt really drained, i just cldn't bear going through all that agn, i was tired. I had to make up my mind whether to drop hcl and retake or just let it be. In the end i dropped hcl, it was a really painful decision, i remeber that friday, i was a total wreck when i entered the classrm. The chi. HOD was really nice, i was supposed to join my class for chi lessons but i told her i rather went to the other class (partly coz of the teacher) without questioning she agreed. She walked me down to the class, before going in she gave me a hug and told the teacher to take gd care of me. I cried ALOT that week. But God is ALWAYS there to comfort you, he understands what you are going through.
Was in a rather bad mood the whole day, didn't really feel like telling my mom, told her like at 12am +? She isn't too happy with my results, she didn't say anything positive. Oh well, i sorta deserved it, i didn't put in my full 100% effort, and who asked me to be sooo careless. I actually didn't write my qn no. for my paper 1. Its sorta ok now, i should be contented and give thanks to God for my results, im happier now. =) Must work hard for my other subjects! But its gonna be really hard.

I therefore conclude that the chemistry lab is a dangerous place to be in when you are tired and blur. I had chemistry practical 1st thing in the morning, was really tired and blur that morning hence sparking off a series of unfortunate events. Read the practical schedule then proceeded to take the test tube rack out, 2 test tube racks were kept in this plastic box, i dropped the whole box and the whole class went silent and stared.. guess how many test tubes i broke? Miraculously only 1! haha.. the look on my chem teacher's face could kill. Proceede with the prac. it said dissolve half your portion of solid R in distilled water, if i didn't see my friends pouring water from a separate bottle i would have gone to the tap! can't believe myself! Next step, add aq hcl to the mixture, so i went to add, poured the hcl in and everything spurted out of the test tube all over the bench and my hand -_- i was like "oh shit!" hurry up zao before the chem teacher sees me! Had to redo that part and this time i made sure added very little hcl. Further in the prac. they told you to heat solid R for 3-4 min. so i was heating the thing with the sian look and testing for CO2 then i felt this burning sensation on my hand, then it started to get really hot and painful. Next thing, oh crap! my hand is in the bunsen flame! luckily i realised it fast enough so nothing except my finger hurt for the whole day. After a while i noticed my test tube holder had caught on fire. -_- Put the hot boiling tube on my QA book resulting in a beautiful burn mark. I really don't believe myself! After prac. we were cleaning up. Was washing 2 test tubes when one slipped and broke. Had to record my name in that lab book. In my entire life in fairfield i have officially broken 3 test tubes. School was more or less normal. After school we had o lvl english oral. Thankfully i was the 2nd to go in my grp so i cld go home earlier. Oral was quite ok. Stumbled during the reading, picture description was quite crappy, and the conversation was like a job interview. They asked me what kinda course i would like to take in university and i said veterinary science cause i have an interest in medicine and biology and its a passion. Also because i hate the helpless feeling when your pet is sick.. sounds so corny but its true ok! Then they asked me something bout ppl having jobs that are not suitable for them, then i started rambling bout being imcompetent and blah blah blah. Then they asked me, besides passion what other reasons are there for someone to take up a certain job eg. egineering. I said the demand for ppl frm the engineering sector is rather high in Spore futher more its a rather high paying job. Since demand is high, that means you have more job stability, so you are less likely to get retrenched when times are bad. I remember i wanted to say some chim word with the meaning bad but i cldn't think of any, so it was *pause* "bad" and it was really a bad move coz the moment i sd that the examiner straight away lifted the paper covering the score sheet and did something to my mark! definitely to minus marks -_- i was like "oh no!" Oral ended waited til 3 before we got released. Was talking crap with my friends, then our eng teacher gave us this compre passage on barbie dolls being banned in Saudi Arabia. We were all laughing at the passage, they say until like barbie doll is evil or something. There was also this stupid comment, "she's too pink!" LOL. Went home to study bio but didn't study much. Was struggling to watch lost and study bio but it was quite useless. By the time inuyasha started i just tossed the bio book aside. =p

Went to the carnival at marina coz it was a field trip organised by the sch.. it was quite interesting but i didn't do much... guess maybe we were all too lazy ended up reading digital fortress which i found quite a pity coz there were lots to do at the carnival. After that we went to the marche at suntec city for class lunch, i think im sick of marche food. At first its really nice, then the more you eat the more you get sick of it. We were all like "im scared of it already, its starting to get sick". After lunch we played zhong ji mi ma, they mixed a nasty broth consisting of rootbeer, giner beer, lotsa salt, lemons and i dunno what.. alot of other nonsense. Whoever zhong would have to drink a spoonful of it... haha.. micheal kena 3 times! Luckily this time i didn't kena at all. The last few rounds were quite terrible coz they increased the dosage by quite alot. The final round, we dragged our teacher in and plotted her demise. Everyone avoided the number 69 like crazy, it was damn obvious! lol! We were like 61, 62, 63.. then when she eventually zhong we burst out laughing, she had to down quite alot of that disgusting thing. We were actually making sooo much noise that the marche staff told us to keep quiet.After lunch a bunch of us with j. ong went to watch charlie and the chocolate factory. On our way to the cinema, we met josephine and her bf, it was super funny, tsemin went up to her to disturb her, then ms ong was like "hello josephine" she ran into a cd shop. Then the rest of us were like "lets go buy cds!" and went in, then everyone cornered the 2 of them. It was super funny, but quite mean, she was very embarrassed. We concluded that the moral of the story is, if you know where your class is having an outing, avoid that place. 2nd learning point, if you run into people, never run into a shop coz you will only get cornered. haha. Before the movie, ms ong was in the arcade with those who had brought a change of clothes while the rest of us walked around. Can't stand the way aiyun and nathaniel fight.. its sooo funny! they were fighting over a bad of gummys and running around the cinema whacking each other. Ms ong treated us to pop corn and drinks. When going in, aiyun and i got blocked out in her fluster aiyun shouted "OI! joanna ong!" I instantly burst into hysterics, while ms ong spun round with a really shocked look on her face and sd "what did you call me?" Aiyun was super embarrassed, it was damn funny, we laughed all the way frm outside and into the theatre.
The show was quite good, super funny and lame! The oompa loompas are kinda lame, you will know when you watch the show. We just kept laughing non stop. Show ended, wanted to go home, but ended up eating dinner at clementi macdonalds. Was about to go home when jeraldine said she wanted to watch fireworks. Then huizhen sd the fireworks could be seen frm her house, so we ended up going there. After reaching then she realised that the fireworks frm marina bay couldn't be seen fmr her house. Ended up playin playstation, played ctr.. haha.. then we played uno, bluff, uno stacko, heart attack then pit or whatever it is lar. Its something like heart attack but you get to trade up to a maximum of 3 cards. Then when you get all the same colour you can whack ppl. It was this whole frenzy of trading and the same cards kept flying around it was super stupid but funny, everyone was like going crazy. Manage to complete the game once. The final game was pure chaos, cards were being snatched everywhere then jeraldine put her hand in the middle and everyone thought she had completed the game and followed.. only to find out that non of us completed the set -_- the scene was super funny lar. Mom came then went back.. reached home at about 1am. Was very sleepy, slept at one something... can't remember lar..

Another week has just flown by.. oh no! prelims are coming! and i haven't started serious revision yet!! how?! The week has been rather screwy, monday, nothing much, we started angel and mortal agn. We were playing with the slips of paper in e math class. We would say something like who's gay and pick a person's name, well that happened to be nabilah, i dunno what got into me but i burst out laughing in front of the emath teacher and he gave me a weird look.. later we did who's lesbian and nabilah picked her own name... she needs to define her sexual orientations.. chia ling told us bout the "who will remain single forever" and nathanial actually picked j. ong's name.. LOL.. so mean! because of some reason which is not safe to be mentioned here, some think she won't get married. Had A math mock exam after sch.. it was darn hard.. i didn't know how to do like half the paper.. the moment the exam ended there were only 2 phrases on everyone's lips, "die already!" "fail already!" oh well... started mugging chem when i got home, but didn't study alot.Tuesday, bugger! the sch made us stay back to rehearse for the award thingy on founders day. It was a TOTAL WASTE OF TIME! studied chem while we were getting briefed, on my way home i got reminded that it was my mortal's birthday the next day, rushed to west mall and wasted bout 30min choosing her gift! argh! i don't believe myself. Didn't finish studying chem coz i was really shagged.
Wednesday, chem exam was terrible. We had pe earlier on so everyone was quite tired, i got a mental block so i anyhow answered the qns.. almost fell aslp! section b wasn't that bad, section c was the killer, didn't finish the paper in the end. After sch i got stuck in a really awkward situation. There goes my reputation, lets hope my classmates didn't take it seriously; i don't even know what they are thinking! OHMAN! All because a FRIEND, let me specify.. a FRIEND helped me carry my books to the locker they thought i was with that guy! Then they all started asking me whether we were together.. i was like NO! Got teased like dunno what! LIKE WHAT THE HECK LAR! IM NOT ATTACHED! CRAZY! Went for piano after school, less than a week after piano exam and im starting on grade 7 exam syllabus! My eyes nearly popped out when i saw the score, sooo hard! My piano teacher only had some of the pieces with her, the 1st 1 she played had running notes non-stop, after the your right hand is done running, your left hand takes over.. the 2nd one had the 6 quaver thingys all over the place! The 3rd one was pure sian. She asked me to pick one i liked, looked at the 1st one and knew i wld definitely die of frustration practicing it, so went with the 2nd one. Haven't started practicing yet!
Thursday, founer's day service, the principal keeps saying the same things over and over agn, yes we know you were feeling kinda sad during founder's day last year, she said it 3 times already! What she said was almost the same as what she sd during the graduation service. Then the stupid award presentation. During the rest of the presentation, i kept hearing the wrong stuff frm an irritating someone behind. It was quite funny but mean, then during the sch song, stephen didn't sing anything except for the word gay... it was darn funny.. ok.. i snd so lame! Went to the archives to sign some book and played with the signature bear, i twisted it into the split position before leaving. Went to orchard later, supposed to watch charlie and the chocolate factory but ended up splitting from the grp coz dorcas ng didn't feel like watching.. sldn't have gone orchard, wasted ny time! Went home to study for bio.
Friday, bio test, i only studied 6 chapters. Actually the test was pretty easy, better mug hard for the main paper next week.. must ace bio! Watched the incredibles during chinese, its the 3rd time im watching it -_- and this time it was in chi. pity edna mode doesn't snd so funny in chi. Had tuition after sch, then went for festival of praise, the queue was really bad! FOP was good, i wanna go agn next year. Took the bus back to church then mom picked me up at clementi, sent shilei and dorcas chew home.. was damn shagged!
