But yesterday was fun nevertheless. I didn't know taking a few photographs could be so comical! HAHA
I’m very determined to succeed next year, whatever it takes! I know that’s what I always say and somehow I always end up procrastinating, studying only the day before the actual exam, cramming everything in at the very last minute. It worked wonderfully well cos that’s how my brain works. But I can’t help but think how perfect my grades can actually be if I had started revision earlier. J2 block test is too near for my new technique to take effect, perhaps in MYE will I finally see improvements. Oh well once I’ve figured it out, I will most probably share it with my juniors and let them reap their results.
School has not been as terrible as I thought it would be. Plus with studying taking over everything else next year, I don’t think I have to worry that much about how J2 life is going to be. Maybe the others were right; Library is going to be THE PLACE to find me. Haha, that very thought scares me but I’m willing to trade just about anything for better results. I’ve got a chance to return to FB but I’ve rejected it again. See what I mean?
Played Ice&Water and Catching with most of my classmates at the playground today. Felt primary-schoolish, it was like having a second childhood all over again. Just that i don’t have that much stamina as before. Certainly enjoyable. For a while then, a temporary feeling of relieve overwhelmed me. I’m not sure why but I sure miss them. Shit.
Results are back. There were slight moderations, and so 1A 3Bs 1C 2Ds rank point 60+. This is the first time I’m being so explicit about it, even letting my friends look at my result slip. People who know me will know that I’m usually very protective in this aspect haha.
Life in J2 will suck with some of my friends retaining. I’ll miss them very much. I will never forget all of you, I promise.
Yesterday was a great day! Went for a nice Korean lunch with groups mates plus Jieqi. On the bus, we entertained each other on the first impressions we had of everyone on the very first day of school. So funny and how strange that we should all be friends just 10months later.
Had a crazy bus ride to Jieqi’s house! I was pretty disgusted by Desiree’s and Huiling’s lack of balance. How fortunate that we all alighted from the bus safe and sound, and not squashed by each other’s weight!
We had a wild time looking at the self proclaimed “Tyra Banks” being extremely high after smelling perfume. Haha, her reputation is tarnished after that wild episode! I was so tired from all that laughing, I slept throughout the bus journey home.
Meeting A-C later, and I bet they are going to drag me to shop again. Lil’B’s o’levels are finally over and celebration tonight! Can’t wait. LIFE IS FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN!
It has been only 8 months since we received our PW task. How time flies! Everything ended with OP today and strangely, while other groups seem to think of it as a relief, my group begs to differ. [This post is going to be a pretty direct post, so please don’t be offended k?]
What can be as fun as braving storms together? Having fun while doing work? Sure, there were definitely times where we argued with each other but I think all of us know that it was for the best. Remember the days when we were besieged with PI, GPP, EOM, I&R, WR, OP? How we had to sacrifice our times to meet up, juggling with studies, CCA, and PW all at once?
PW was really awful at the beginning. We had to change our initial area of conservation from Kampong to Xinyao. We had to change our first area of conservation from Bands to Chinatown to Taiwan Aboriginal Music because nothing could ever please our tutors. And how our strategies, no matter how hard we brainstormed, were never up to the teachers’ standards, while other groups always seemed to have better and stronger projects than us.
Everyone was always so reluctant to meet up, each wishing that PW never existed. Plus the irritating emails and smses i was forced to send just to ensure that work was done. At one point, I was so tired of setting datelines, I told myself that I should probably do everything by myself and not trouble the others further.
Luckily Huiling was always there when “we” met up to discuss PW, while the other members took turns to be absent. But fortunately for us, the rest of our group mates had a realisation and began putting in alot of efforts for our eventual WR. And they did make up for all the “lost work”, working harder than Huiling and myself during the last lap. All the late nights we had to endure, the scoldings, the disagreements. And yet we managed to overcome all obstacles to prepare for the ultimate OP.
I think we have pulled it off remarkably well today, given the circumstances. Depressed as we were in the beginning, we never gave up. Regardless of our grades, I feel that we have truly earned an “A” for the resilience in the process of PW itself.
Thank you Xuanhui, Huiling, Pupeng, Desiree for making PW so enjoyable. I’ll miss it.
I don’t know if I should sympathise with you. It’s not your fault that you don’t know what any of us are currently going through in our lives. You’re safe in your little well, but that doesn’t mean that you can treat us like your slaves right?
Let me clarify some things. I’m not your slave. I don’t want to be ordered around. I don’t need datelines. I do what I can to help you in my free times. But surely, you would have known that with all the project work stuffs going on, it’s near impossible for me to help you much now.
And it’s not only you. You seem to have dragged every possible person into this as well. Right, I know everyone’s very excited for you, I am too. But there’s got to be a limit to things. When I say it can’t be done, it can’t be done. Why force yourself to believe otherwise and make things difficult for all of us?
Can I honestly look into your eyes and be grateful to whatever you’ve done? Can I honestly look at you and decide to forgive whatever you had done? I’ll try, I’ll try my best.
Do you know that because of you I lashed out at innocent people? Do you have any idea how it hurts me to see myself inflicting pain on others when it’s not their faults at all?
I salute you for everything that you went through. But I think it’s time for you to think from our perceptive. Thank you in advance.
Brought lil S to CCHMS open house on Saturday. I tried in vain to avoid bumping into any teachers cos i don't feel comfortable chatting with them in my outside clothes and with lil S by my side. Their sense of humour didn't fail me, even after so many years!
Went back to school on Sunday for Project Work again. Oh well, it's just a small sacrifice i have to make. Shopped with mum and lil S after PW, and shopped again with J N T this morning. Pure coincidence that their OP is on Thursday as well!
Had to buy lunch for lil B and the rest. Like me, they love chicken rice. The stall holder pushed a slip of paper with "Dried Chili with Chicken" into my hand and asked me what it meant. Aghast, i looked around for assistance. Translating on the spot isn't exactly my forte you know. And to my horror, all the other people manning the stall were from China! The rest of the customers patronising the stall were maids!
So i was the only one available who could do the translating. I'm pretty proud of my translating skills okay. I said: "他要鸡，放辣椒。辣椒不是水水的那种，是 you know, dry 的，erm erm... 干的！"
Whatever, it was the best i could do. Hopefully they understood me!
