i can honestly say the chinese retake was HORRIBLE & Disastrous. Ok to be precise Paper 1 i had not enough time to convert my massively pinyin-ed essay to chinese. For paper 2, i could barely read the passages as usual so i implemented Mr Chia's formula. Look for keywords than look at the surrounding text and try figure what the heck the question wants. If that didnm't work i just pretty much just copied everything. So this pretty much summaries the paper. Could have been worst i guess. Thanks to those out there who were/or had prayed for me. I felt calm throught the paper. Just couldn't do.
Anyway next big hurdle. Combined Humans Elective Lit on 2nd of November. Hope i do well. =)

All i can say right now is tomorrow will be a day of intense faith. Yes, the O level Chinese paper 'retry'. Right now i rather perplexed as well, i can't find my "Hao Zuo Wen book" without it, lets just say i put myself at a large disadvantage because i have nothing to study to help bank on paper 1 because my foundation for chinese is weak. Anyway to those who read this before 8 am tomorrow, i ask for a favour, PRAY for me. Though things may seem not in my favour at this time, i have the powerful tool of PRAYER & Faith.
Faith can move mountains. Believe it or not.=)

So instead of studying, i pretty much spent the last 2 hours booking air tickets. Why? cause my mum's going on different trips and i myself am like going to flee from this horrible place we call home. Alright i'm not fleeing, just going on a long vacation to get myself back in shape after all thats happened and will happen in the next 1 month of O levels.

We'll all go our separate ways after the big O's,
although we'll keep in contact i guess the secondary school days are over.
Saddening huh? All the fun times we had together will remain only as a memory.

LIFE'S NEVER FAIR.

Ps: Happy Birthday Ze Ju =)

Science practical was pretty much not that bad i guess. I must admit i was a little worried last night and this morning but after i commited the practical to the Lord i pretty much calmed down i guess. Managed to do my practical with only one major mistake that i thankfully corrected cause i knew the graph just couldn't have 1 odd point sticking out. Other than that it was pretty much follow the instruction and write my observation which pretty much as long as followed should deduce a correct answer.And to those who are wondering Salt A is :Copper(ll)Chloride

I have decided to run this final lap not as a relay but as a "three-legged race" where God is besides me always and not me just doing my best and leaving it all to Him. We're in this together and with God on your side u can't really say you'll lose right.?

Last note: If u see me on Msn, Motivate me to study. =)

Yes Yes, Tomorrows the BIG BIG day. the official start of my GCE O level examination.
Science practical no less but ONE of the things i have no choice but in score in since i will need the grade to help make my overall grades better. And though the first written paper is on the 2nd of november i say tomorows the offical start as after Practical, theres pretty much no turning back. Horrifying but unfortuantly the cold hard truth.
It kind of is really trepidating when you look at yourself in the mirror each morning and realise you only have 6 subjects out of which you pretty much flunk 2 of them. Honestly i could have done with better subjects but thanks to MOE guidelines and a wonderful school well, i have no idea except by God's abudant grace that i will be able to pull though this major exam. Think about it L1R5= 6 subjects. Like how much room is there for error? but i'm not going into this subject right now. Go look further back, i believe i had a little entry regarding this with regards to the exam time table.

Off to make sure i don't mess up practical tomorrow.
Ps: To my wonderful science teachers who i must admit put out with my horrible behavior sometimes. You both have brought me thus far and can now only watch from the sidelines as i go for this giant milestone in my life. I just want to say i will do all in my power not to disappoint you. This i promise u. And i always keep my word. =)

TO WAR!!!!!!

So it seems my Msn Messenger is pretty much having some unexplainable problem. It just refuses to let me sign in, then again i tried Windows messenger and Web Messenger and the same problem occurs.Not that its any harm but anyone know whats happening? I can live without Messenger for a few days since O's are pretty much as in my face but i need COMMUNICATION.
Anyway so if u don't see me online for the next few days, don't fret over it, I'm fine. Msn isin't. Talk about Godly intervention. Heh.

Are names really that important? What has over taken our speech to such an extent whereby and correct me if i'm wrong the first thing we ask someone who don't know is their names.Why can't it be get to know someone first before getting their names? Not that i have anything against it but the words "Who are You?" or "You are?" are in my opinion the most commonly used words of the English language. What would it be to live in a society whereby there are no names? Would we lose our ability to start a conversation with a stranger?

I'm not trying to start anything here but this is more of a point worth pondering over. Just because everyone does it, does it mean we have to follow suit? Is this some unwritten law that we must follow? I doubt so...

I disliked school very much today. Being although last day and all i still had to see certain people which i cannot bear to face. Ok. so we weren't face to face but it was close enough. To add to it, it happened not just once but quite a number of times. Isit supposed to mean something? Cause i really freaked out.

A thought came to my mind the past few days. I wondered to myself why i give people second chances and i guess its cause i see the potential they have to be able to change for the better.I admit my judgement may be biased at times but if u have ever offended me and are hoping that i have cooled down. Know this, i don't hold it againist any of u. =) ( leave a tag if u want further assurance)

To You: You may have noticed my adverse reaction but the agreement stands.And please take care of yourself. U look rather exhasted, O's are important but at this juncture when things i know for u are not going so well. Just remember Seek the Lord, He will provide and give u strength. Keep smiling. =)

Been rather busy the last few days this the lack of updates. Life's been rather well i must say though O's are like in about 20 day. I'm trepidated i can honestly say but i shall persevere. I mean it. Anyway on sunday i had the rare opportunity of visitng Chek Java which is basically a part of Pulau Ubin which is pretty much full of marine life but mostly submerged during the high tides.Enough said. The pictures below tell a thousand words. enjoy =)

Map and Infomation Board


A well and the view for those who've never been to Ubin


Many kind of marine life thrive here
Firstly CRABS

Normal ones


Spidery ones


Small minute ones


Camouflaged Ones


Even Prehistoric ones like a Horse Shoe Crab




Next STAR FISH

Common ones


"Chocolate Chip'' ones


And 10 legged ones!



Even watched Finding Nemo and wondered where Clownfishes liked to hide
Here it is.

Sea Anemones


Don't belittle these things though. Look at this one eating a Crab!



For those who have the idea that Sponges are Square.
think again.


Sea Cucumber


Most amusingly.. A Sea Dog =)



Finally the best i saved for last
SAND BALLS.
100% not man made i can swear. its crab made.



And that is how i spent sunday afternoon. =)

Something out of the contrary happened toaday. Pastor Raymond asked me out for a game of Golf. We had fun.Though i must admit he's rather excellent at the game as compared to me who is like out of practice since i learned like 3 months ago. Nevertheless it was a great time and if u ever read this Pastor, THANKS a million again. =)

I kind of miss school. Before u guys start spamming my tag board again, i guess i should explain stuff to u guys. As much as i miss u guys, there are certain things that cause me to have recollections of a certain matter which i rather hope to get over. Things just have been so tough lately and i just feel like being alone sometimes. I know i shouldn't let stuff like this bother me so near to the impending O's but life's never the fairytale u want it to be.Hope u guys mug and do well for O's yeah?..

I suddenly have an urge to tear.

The word i long to hear, FRIENDS

*edit. its now 8pm and 2 more fish have died. CRAP.

Another of my fish died today. That brings the total mortality rate of 5 in the last five days. If this goes on i'm gona be out of fish and cash by like next month. Hopefully this is the last of the fish i have to 'absorb' (in layman terms the last fish to die factored in to moving and new tank set up costs)
That aside, there are a few things i have decided that i must complete before the Big O levels.

1.For English at least entire Distinction in English and if possible some of Tys

2. For Maths its minimally all qns on Algebra from Tys and past O Level Papers

3. For Science its past few O Level papers

4. Humans, well for SS i intend to get more sugggested answers. Lit... i'm still trying to figure out how.

5.Chinese, Memorise format of Ying Yong Wen. ++

6. Poa? i really dono. =S


There, about 30 days to go. TIME TO STOP SLACKING.
(Could someone please force me to do the above mentioned?) Heh.
