Last day of school was sad. :( But still, it wasn't as bad as what I expected.

In the morning we had the report presentation for the top 3 in class. In the school hall. With parents. In front of the whole school. Okay, I can say that I'm very proud to go up there for the second time! Hahaha. :) Then we had the Principal's Address to close up the school year. Mrs Ouyang makes me so excited for the new school campus! :D

After that we just went back to class and cherished every remaining moment that we had with our class. Took tons of photos. :) Yay. It was really fun, with no teachers bothering about us. Haha! So we just had the whole time for ourselves to bond, and spend the last day in 2I '09 together.

The last few moments and minutes were spent doing Friendship Dance and 2I Banja. :D We did the Friendship Dance last year too! Well, this year it had much more meaning to do this. :) 2I Banja was the best. :) Almost the whole class joined in! Then Jeslyn starting to cry. And I think Carin caught the 'virus' first, then she went to hug Sabrina, and I think that's how it all started. I'm not going to elaborate on this, but clearly, it was an emotional moment for all of us. But like what I always feel, this time will always have to come. It's the sad reality, and we always have to resign to this horrible fate. Of leaving, and parting with 2I. I will really, really miss 2I a lot. 2 years makes a huge difference. Right from our Orientation till yesterday, you can see that we have grown together and went through thick and thin. We belong to 2I. 2I '09 rocks forever, and well, we will stay in contact no matter what. :)

To think on the brighter side, we have our class outing on Monday. :) I'm going to have all the fun that I can, and I'm really glad that majority of the class can make it!

As for now, I shall really enjoy the start of my holidays, and reward myself for this joyous occasion, of doing so well this year. :) Actually, I can't believe it myself. Of course, I will spend my holidays wisely, and brush up on what there needs to be done.

To tell the truth, I'm very excited for next year! Haha, yes, I know that it's going to be the busiest year of the 4, but there's this sense of anticipation of what lays ahead. Will the road be tough? Will the road be too tough for me to handle? Will the road be as smooth as what I expect? The truth only opens on 4 January 2010.

Results. Yes, results. At first I was disappointed, especially in my History. After all, I spent so much time and effort in revising and studying for History, in the end, I still didn't get what I expected. Bummer. :(

Others were alright, I guess, even though I think the languages could have been a little bit better. Science was frustrating. One more mark! I didn't realise how important one mark could cost me. There goes my silly mistake of forgetting to do the last MCQ, which if I had done, I could have gotten A1 for the whole year's of Science! Gahhh! See how important and crucial one mark can be in this situation?

Maths was okay. Met my expectations. Geography was nice. :) At first I thought I could have done slightly better. Actually up till now, I still think that I could have done better. I could have scored better in Map Reading. Sigh, anyway, at least the grade is good. :) Literature was sooo unexpected. I'd rather exchange my Lit with my History. Hahaha. But after all the calculations, I would say that the grades in general are good. Hopefully my report book will look nice! HAHAH.

But anyway, I don't really have anything to worry about. Meaning that I don't have to worry whether my grades would allow me to enter the stream that I want to go. It's just that I have to plan ahead, not just stop at whether I'll do well for O Levels... What about JC/Uni? I don't want to take Science next time. I want Geog! But taking History in Upper Sec can be tedious too. So I'm thinking which stream is better... I need to consult a teacher!

Yesterday's Guides Day Camp distracted me from my results. Finally, we resumed our Guides sessions, even though O Levels is being held. Oh well, yesterday was such a hothot day. Then we had Outdoor Cooking. I think it accumulated, until now. Which is why I'm not in school today. ): Sad to be missing all the fun that 2I had for Inter-class Games. ): And the second day of Day Camp. Tent pitching today. I love tent pitching! Haha, Shirley said it was my 拿手, but I told her I had already forgotten most of the steps! :/

I wanted to change my blogskin just now. But I think I kinda didn't bear to change this nice one, although I'm a bit tired of it. I just love to change the picture after a few weeks, to refresh up the blogskin. Did you notice it? Haha.

I'm looking forward to the holidays (even though I'm not looking forward to this Friday...)! I bet there's many activites planned for us. Yay, yes, actually, there already are. What with Guides and PC and overseas trips. ;)

Ahh no, it's 9.05pm already? Okok, it's been an alright-weekend for me. Went to Geylang East Library on Friday. I can't stand that library! It's too quiet! :/

Anyway, tmr we'll be getting back our results and papers (finally)! Yes, I'm so looking forward to it man. No matter what kind of results I'll get, I'll try my best not to fret over it so much, cos there's nothing I can do to salvage what has been done, but can only work hard for the future. I can't wait! Seriously. :)

I'm bored, and I've finished Harry Potter and the Order of Pheonix. I'm trying very hard not to read Half Blood Prince. Cos I don't want to read finish the whole series so fast! :O Hahaha. I'm 'taking a break' from the magical world. But apparently now, when I read normal teenage books/young adult books, it does not appeal that much to me... Hahaha. The power of JK Rowling's creativity! :D

I'm so not looking forward to the last week of school (which means starting from tmr)! I can't believe that time just flies ahead of you. And pooft! There goes your two years with your class. Sigh. Trying hard not to think about it now...

I just can't stand people who are just sooo pampered and spoiled, and they can't take a little amount of hardship or suffering. I mean like come on, just doing that little bit is harmless right? Gosh, I was not like that last time man. Don't act like some 千金小姐 please.

I finally went to school today. Like I said in the previous post, I was dead bored at home! (Even with Harry Potter waiting for me to finish it!)

Today we had 'Angel Clay Making'. Now I know why it is called 'angel'. Because the clay was so soft and light that it reminds you of paradise/heaven, hence the name 'angel'. Well, I guess that's my interpretation. It was alright, the session. Something different from the usual post-exam activities. We made a rabbit. Now my rabbit is kinda spoiled, because I placed it in my bag. And one of the ears came off. =.= Haha.

Then we had a boring video shown to us. No one in class was listening to it! So sad. It's called 'Planet Earth'. Hmm, it seems like a very expensive documentary, because the teacher kept saying that. It's about some nature wonders in New Zealand. Coupled with the poor audio and visual stuff, it did not capture the interests of students.

After that we had a Sexuality Education talk/skit. Yeah, about STIs and HIVs, and how to protect yourself from such viruses. I think it's alright, it's good of the school to expose us to these kind of stuff, because a few months ago it was hitting the news here and there. Yeah.

Finally, the UPPER-SEC SUBJECT COMBINATIONS BRIEFING! I've been waiting for this since the start of the year. Haha, kanchiong much? I've been thinking of going to the Double class in the first half of the year, but seeing my inconsistent results in my Humanities, I think I'd better go to the Triple class, to be more practical and realistic, even though Humanities is so my interest! But nevertheless, I'll continue and pursue my Humanities interest in JC/University, should I get into the Triple stream.

Why did it had to rain just now? Boo. Spoiled my plans. Anywayanyway, there's SINGAPORE IDOL today! <3 I'm proud to say that I know 7 out of 9 songs that the Idols are going to sing today. However, since the theme is 'For Someone Special', it's going to be quite emo, cos the songs are slow and sad. Looking forward to tonight!



Happy Birthday!

Yesterday I went shopping with Xin Yu, Joyce, Sabrina, Jing Wen and Natalie. It was fun, being able to go out with so many people. :)

Firstly, we went to Ion Orchard. I am so disappointed in Ion Orchard! It's so boring, and it is definitely not as interesting as what it seems. More than half of the shops there are all the high-end shops, the branded retailers etc. Starting from B1 onwards, it's the luxury brands already. So that means only three levels are more... local? Meaning more common, like shops that you will see in neighbourhood shopping centres or the other shopping centres in Orchard Road. There's nothing to see there man.

Oh, but there are a few things that I find it cool. Their directory is touched-screen, on a pillar. So cool! The Prologue bookshop is not as mighty as what I thought it to be. Apart from the fact that the setting and decorations are nice. Okok, we ate at Swensen's! :D Haha, I didn't really expect to eat there, honestly, because I thought it was expensive for a student like me. ><>

We went to Far East Plaza after that. :D I think that place is very nice. But it'll be more fruitful if you go with an adult/parent. Hahaha. Cos some clothes are nice, but might be out of my budget. Yeah, we just shopped there. Hmm, I was looking for flats. But somehow, given my picky character, I didn't buy anything from there. As in I didn't buy the flats that I wanted to buy. Instead, I bought leggings! :D One pair. Bought it at a cheap price. The quality is not so bad too. I've been scouting for leggings since... two months ago? I saw some nice accessories there. Wanted to buy, but somehow, I know that I won't use/wear it often.

Next we moved on to Orchard Cineleisure. Haha, that place is so small! ): And the shops there aren't very interesting. Went there just to take Neoprints. Yay, first time taking with Joyce and Nat. The photos were quite nice. :) Yay.

TODAY, another shopping trip. To Bugis this time round. Yes, I will never forget that place. It seems like I rekindled my love for it. HAHAHA. I went with Regina and Vithika. Cool outfit, Regi! ;) Yeah, this time, I had much enthusiasm for buying stuff, cos the things there are cheap and affordable, and are not that inferior of quality. I was so tempted to buy the grey pair of leggings! ):):): Hahaha. The cheapest one that I saw was $8. You know me, I resisted once again. I WILL GO BACK THERE ANOTHER DAY. :) Then I bought... an overall sort of dress? Haha, the type where you have to wear another layer inside. Ok, yeah, not bad. Even though I think it could do well with a belt. Speaking of belts, I saw this very nice ribbon belt! I wanted to buy it! OKOK, actually, I myself am tired of my not-buying-anything-mindset-even-though-I-liked-it mindset man! Yesyes, I didn't buy it. ): BUT I WILL BUY IT BACK ANOTHER DAY TOO. :) Yeah, saw some nice T-shirts. I think that T-shirt is worth buying. It's so cute, it's a talltall cartoon giraffe! Hahahah. Bought a handphone sock in Bugis Junction too. After that I was bored, so I went home first. Haha, partly because I wanted to read HARRY POTTER! :D (See my stong love and bond for HP!)

Yay, there's Singapore Idol tmr. AND SCHOOL TMR. GUDIES TMR! Hohoho, I'm so bored at home! Sometimes I feel like going out, but I also don't know what to do when I go out. When you go shopping too many times, you might feel numb towards it already. I still have not go library-hopping yet. Yeah, no rush, cos I'm still halfway through Harry Potter and the Order of Pheonix. I don't find it boring! I don't know why ppl say that that book is boring. =.=

Anyway, I was talking about Singapore Idol. To all you fans of SI out there, go see this blog: http://summerr-in-the-shower.blogspot.com. It has great coverage of SI and things related to it there. :)

I want to go to school! I miss school already! I'm so going to treasure all the times that we, 2I, spend together, cos we only have 7 more (school) days left together! ):

Saturday, October 17, 2009

I'm so bored... Tell me what I can do? Si Min, Nat and Jeslyn were at Jing Wen's house just now. Actually, there're still there now. Lol.

Okok, I don't know what to do now. This is going to be a very short post. Yes, so, bye.

Cedar Girls' Secondary Two End-of-Year Examination is officially OVER!

Hahahahaha. I've been waiting for this day, for since, more than two months ago! Yay, I bet everyone's going to revive their blogs/Facebooks/computers because most of them haven't been updating since the exam period began.

Hah, I have not been blogging here for exactly one month! Sorry, I just left this blog like that without a word saying that my blog would be on a major hiatus. :/ I actually wanted to post a quick one just to announce that I'll be putting my blog on a hold during the Hari Raya long weekend (19/9 to 21/9), but as I was 'too in the mood for studying', I just aborted that idea. :)

Which means, this is the first time I'm updating since 16 September. Today is 16 October. Hee. :) I hope I don't miss the exam period, haha, even though I know I will one day, cos I'll miss that period where I'll be pulling my hair out, sitting at my study table for don't-know-how-long, and missing the days where I get to reach home at 10.30am, and feeling that the day just stretches and lasts forever.

I'm going to talk about the exams, sorry, I just can't help myself. I think the exams, in general, was manageable, except probably Science, which is a tradition in Cedar (and probably other schools too) to make it a difficult one. I couldn't stand myself on the day before Science! I was so figedty and can't sit still, cos I have that overwhelming nervousness within me, because Mrs Yeo said that the paper will be very difficult! It really scared me out of my skin. I guess if not for Singapore Idol, I would have broken down on that night! HAHA. English, Chinese, History, Geography, Literature, Malay Special Programme (which I took today), was quite alright. But I think my Geog won't do as well as what I expect...

Never mind, I'll just wait and see for the results! I can't wait to know my results ok. Hahaha. I'm a weird person. xD

So just how did I get by this one month without blogging? Well, mostly ranting and complaining to Xin Yu, haha! Poor girl, she has to suffer so much under my constant complaints and rants and raves. Haha, nah, I'm not that bad, I won't torture her! xD Yup, sometimes Jeslyn, Jing Wen, Nat, Sabrina, Wei Ting, Shirley. And my precious diary. :) I think writing in your diary is still the best. It's 100% private. You can write anything you want to write.

There were times, of course, when I felt like I badly wanted to post and say something, oh well, but I guess, it's the discipline and self-control to enforce over yourself. To those people who have been somewhat like me (didn't use the computer/log on to FB/blog) over the exam period because you want to control, GOOD JOB! That's the spirit of overcoming your temptations and 'desires'. Hahaha.

Ahh, I realise that I'm talking a lot. Hmm, make up for the 30 days that I haven't been posting? Actually, come to think of it, not posting for 30 days isn't really that long a period. Haha. But I'm not sure how long I can go without posting though. xD

Up till now, I still can't believe that exams are over already. Sigh. My Malay paper was just this morning, and it seemed such a long time ago! Haha. Yay, now I can decide how I want to spend the days after school and the weekends. And the school holidays (e.g. Marking, Promotion Day).

Yes, SHOPPING!<3> I can't wait for shopping! And library-hopping too! :)

Okie, I'm going off to relax further now! I will update either tmr or Sunday yeah? Bye.
