31 May 2010

30th May, Sunday - I went for 9.15am mass, which was celebrated by Fr Henry Siew. I had Kway Chap for lunch at my grandmother's house. It was a hot afternoon, and I slept for a while as I was very tired. At 2pm, my mother, brotheer and I went to Tanah Merah to celebrate a church couple's 30th Wedding Anniversary. My brother slept in the car while I was looking out of the window, enjoying the view. The way he slept was so ugly and unglam. It was held in a chalet and the chalet was very big. Fr Paul asked me why he did not see me and said that I pontank school. I told him that I saw Justin and he was wearing green top and blue jeans. Then Fr said that I did attend school on that day. Out of the blue, Claire wished uncle Joseph Happy Birthday. I didn't know that it was his birthday until Claire told everyone to add him on Facebook. Aunty Felicia and aunty Theresa were talking about my legs as they realised that my legs were very white as compared to theirs. Claire and I went to tour around the compound as I felt bored. We went to the playground, shallow swimming pool and bowling alley. We talked many things while we were walking. The swimming pool was so shallow that it was still below my knee when I stepped inside. Luckily, I wore skirt on that day. If not, I have to roll up my pants. SO MAHFAN! The moment we entered the bowling alley, we do not feel like leaving as there was air con. SO SHIOK! The sun was so hot that by the time we went back to the chalet, we were sweating like mad. We sat down and helped to sort some papers out. After sorting, we went to the nearby swing and sat down to enjoy the scenary before having our dinner. Eric called us back when Fr Paul was about to say grace. The catered food was delicious and I love the desserts (ie. bobo chacha, mini fruit tarts). I stayed outside and chatted with the adults, and I really laughed a lot. We talked about many things like I don't laser my eyes, it is called lasic. LOL! I didn't know that! While we were chatting, I heard someone playing the piano and it sounded very professional. I told aunty Felicia and we went in to listen as it was very beautifully played. We left the place at 8pm as I had O levels the next day. On the way home, I slept in the car as I was very tired since the whole day I have been out.
31st May, Monday - I left the house at 7.25am and reached school at 7.30am as my brought me to school today. I went to the canteen and studied with my friends (ie. Marie, Natalie, Rachel). While we were halfway studying, sister came and told us to tell Amirah to collect her English Seminar tickets from the general office as it costed $25. It will be a waste if she did not collected hers as there will not be a refund. Paper 1 started at 8.15am, and paper 2 started at 11.15am. The duration of both papers was 2 hours and 1.5 hours respectively. The air conditioner was very cold and my hair stood up many times. When Joanna and Joycelin saw me, they gave me my birthday present before the exam as my birthday was near. Aww, Thanks! During the break, I ate instant noodles and my bread. I was very amused by the answer booklet as it was 3 A4 sized paper joined/folded together. I brought home the question booklet as they allowed us to do so. I didn't expection the question booklet to be a bit yellowish in colour. When my sister saw the booklet, she said that last time her booklet was white and that Singapore very save paper. LOL! I watched 3 old movies, that is, "Spy Kids 3: Game Over", "The Click" and "The Tooth Fairy" before sleeping around 1.15am.

29 May 2010

I woke up at 11am as it was noisy (ie. my parents loud voices,vacuum cleaner noise). I only managed to watch the ending of Bakugan Battle Brawlers on okto channel as by the time I wash up and switched on the television, it was already 11.22am. After that, I played a number of songs on the piano and tried to memorise "A whole new world". My mum was washing the toilet while I was playing on the piano. Actually, I intended to swim today. Since my O level Mother Tongue paper is on Monday, I thought of swimming during the June holidays as I will have plenty of time. I can swim on weekdays if there is anyone at home besides me just to look after the house. I think I need to exercise more as I can see my tummy, and it makes me look ugly. Like what my friends usually like to say, "It is easier to gain weight rather than losing it especially during the holidays." Later, I played with Linus as he was crying and throwing tantrum. For lunch, I had Nasi Lemak and drank pink guava juice. After lunch, I went back to my room and continued reading the compositions for 30 minutes. It really made me feel sleepy as my eyes were feeling dry and tired. So, I decided to take a break before continuing reading. My mum gave me Holy Land map which she bought when we were there. She told me to place it on my table, but I didn't listen to her and paste it on my cupboard instead. I used facebook for about an hour and my aunt asked me via there what I would want for my birthday present as my birthday is around the corner. So, I suggested to get a headset as I do not like to use earpiece. My ear will hurt if I use it for very long, especially when I am watching online movies. If I am not wrong, I might be going to Challenger tomorrow with my aunt to shop for my birthday present.While I was using Facebook, I heard my mother scream/cry and I went to the dinning room to take a look. I asked her why she was screaming, and she told me that she saw a lizard while she was packing basket on the table. My mother also said that when she saw the lizard, she was too shocked and she just froze. LOL!
My mother and my brother went out to buy dinner for everyone. I ate Char Kway Teow and it was very bland, did not even taste like Char Kway Teow. After I finished my dinner, I was still feeling hungry and I ate my mother's Hokkien noodle as she offered me her saying that hers tasted worst. Before I ate the Hokkien noddle, I drank some herbal tea which tasted bitter. When I ate the noodle, I did not find it that awful as maybe the herbal tea's bitterness helped a little. I continued reading the compositions and at the same time, I listened to music which I downloaded. Then, I saw that my mother and my brother have new Sony Ericsson hanphone. SO JEALOUS! My mum told me that my handphone will be upgraded from 2G to 3G. But my handphone number will still remain unchanged. When I switched on my phone again around 12 midnight, a text appeared on my screen saying, "SIM card registration failed". WOW! I did not expect that they would be so fast and efficient, it was just upgraded around dinner time. At first, I did not know what that means until I went to the master bedroom and asked my mother. After receiving the new Singtel SIM card from my mum, I returned to my bedroom and immediately inserted inside my phone.

28 May 2010

Today, I realised that sister told to Fr Paul that my Prelims are just around the corner and yet I can travel overseas. Why must she care so much?! WTH!
My mother thought that I did not attend school yesterday as she told me that the priest did not see me in school. He did not see me because he left the hall by the side door, and did not walk down the aisle. If he walked down the aisle, he would see me as I was sitting near the aisle. At least that guy should have told him that I did attend school as I saw him when he was receiving holy communion. URGH! Idiot. I think I also know why she would ask me this question. In the past, I usually oversleep and will not go to school. But, I have already changed my habit this year and managed to wake up and go to school. I am not like some of my friends who gave themselves extra holiday since it was the last day of school and there wasn't much to do.
I woke up at 1pm, and had fried noodles for my breakfast/lunch. I watched a little bit of television before using my computer. My elder sister and my brother went out with their friends in the morning, and my mother went for prayer. I continued my 'O' level Chinese revision by reading a couple of composition, and underlining good phrases. As for dinner, I ate instant noodles cooked by myself. My brother went to watch "Shrek Forever After" in 3-D which costed him $14. My parents were very suprised when they heard about it as they did not expect that the tickets will be very costly. I played the piano from 9pm - 10.45pm as I was sight-reading/playing songs (ie. A whole new world, Mama Mia, etc). It made me relax when I was playing those songs as I was enjoying myself. Before going to bed, I ate Milo powder as I prefer eating it rather than drinking it. Knowing that it is heaty and not good for me, I still eat as I love Milo.

27 May 2010

Today my school celebrated Founder's Day and Fr Paul, our school's chaplin, celebrated mass. When I saw him in my school hall, I was wondering why he was here as I thought he was still on MC and couldn't come. He brought along Justin as I saw him standing at the back of the hall. Whew! After mass, the principal talked to us about how to make use of June holidays. We had recess until 11.15am before going to the hall to celebrate CCA investiture. Out of the blue, sister asked me whether it is true that I couldn't sleep in the past and that Fr Paul has to come to bless my home. I didn't realise that he would tell her that! I think sister was too free and therefore asked. WALAU,so KPO! Can't she find something else better to do instead of asking all these questions. If I tell her also no point as it will not affect anything.
After announcing about 23 announcements, they dismissed us and we could go home. I ate lunch with Alvina in KFC at Rivervale Mall and I spent $3.30 as I had forgotten to bring extra money and I do not want to owe anyone money. I still have my kaya bread, which was supposed to be my breakfast. We stayed at KFC for very long as we were talking about our past.
When I reached home, I played the piano for about and hour or so until my left hand felt a little bit pain as I have been playing a lot of octaves. I played Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook until around 7.40pm as my father switched off the internet. He saw me playing and scolded me for not preparing for my Os. Then, I got angry as I was about to create a new high score and he switched the internet off. SO ANNOYING, _|_ !! So, I locked myself in my own room and did not eat my dinner as I don't intend to. I read a few compositions from the book which I had bought from secondary 1 and the book which my friend had lended me. After reading 3, I felt tired as I do not like to read Chinese characters. They only make me feel tired and sleepy.

26 May 2010

Today is parent-teacher-meeting session (PTM), and report books together with the test papers were returned. She intended to bring Linus to popo place before going to my school. But it takes 30 minutes to go to popo place which is in Ang Mo Kio (AMK). So, my mum brought Linus along with her and we left the house at 7.30am. By the time we reached my school, it was 7.50am. This means that we were early as my time slot was 8am-8.45am. When I walked past the various classes, the parents who were waiting outside the respective CT venues were looking at us. I was a bit irritated by them and tried my best to ignore them. When I went into the CT venue, I saw Melissa's parents talking to sister. Mr Chan came in a few minutes later to return the Physics paper. Sister tried to keep the conversation very short as she said that I am a good girl, therefore, nothing much to talk about. When my mother mentioned that I will be travelling to Lourdes this June, sister sugested that I should wash in the holy water to cleanse my brain and bring back Lourdes water. My mother sent me home and dropped me outside Serangoon Secondary School. I had breakfast bread and cornflakes with milk for breakfast before taking a bath. For lunch, I ate instant noodles with egg. I also watched a couple of old movies from 2000-2007.

25 May 2010

24 May, Monday - Mother Tongue Programme (last paper: paper 1)
25 May, Tuesday - The air-con was switched on when I entered the hall for morning assembly. SHIOK! Later, the teacher told us to go to the gym and we went through paper 1. After checking, my friends and I went to the hall and joined the rest of our classmates as they were listening to different talks on the careers. When I went done, I saw 2 deejays from 91.3fm (Jane & Julius). After I stayed there for a while longer, my hair started to stand and I was feeling cold. So, I must tahan because I do not have jacket. The students in the gym are making a lot of noises, which is very distracting. Mr Theodore gave us a talk on psychology (studying of human behaviour) and it was a bit too dull as I was beginning to fall asleep. After recess, my class went to Computer Lab 3 to do the eSurvey (feedback on the teachers who taught us). Majority of the questions I answered for Sister Agatha was either "STRONGLY DISAGREE" or "DISAGREE". I really cannot tahan her liao.
Majority of the class has to go to the gym for another talk while 5 of us remained in the lab and did our own stuff, surfing other websites. I actually wanted to go to Facebook but the page cannot load. So I visited by Twitter account, the rarely used as I was busy Facebook-ing most of the time. There wasn't much to do on Twitter though besides tweeting. Ms Ng showed up and told us to go to the CT venue and clean the room for tomorrow's PTM. We sat on the floor and Marie taught me how to play the Boom-Boom-Chuckie game. We tried out for a minute or so before Ms Ng chased us out to clean the CT venue. In the CT venue, everyone (Me, Alexndria, Fatin, Marie) helped to stack the chairs and tables. The rest of my classmates came and collect their test papers and slotting them inside the report book. Some helped to give out the papers and Sister was shouting for no reason, trying to argue with us. Sister make my friend feel very pek chek and cannot tahan her already. When she shouted back, Sister scolded her for shouting back. So unreasonable! I was trying my best to ignore her as she was so annoying. After the school was dismissed, my friends (Meeling and Alvina) quickly run away from Sister. She already spoilled our day.

22 May 2010

21 May, Friday - AMath tuition
22 May, Saturday - Swam 9 laps in my condo's swimming pool from 5pm - 6.30pm. My arms are aching right now as I have never swam for a long time. I started to watch movies which were downloaded online after my dinner.

P.S. My baby brother, Linus is exactly 5 months.

20 May 2010

19 May, Wednesday - Mother Tongue Programme (P2). Actually, the teacher should have gone through paper 1. But my Chinese teacher didn't come, so my class couldn't get back the paper.
20 May, Thursday - I had seen my all papers by now, and I knew that I would fail very badly for my combined humanities. For Geography, I should have done the question on natural vegetation instead of rivers although I studied both chapters. But i focused more on natural veg. What was I thinking when I was doing that paper? I only have one answer to that question, which is, the night I didn't sleep well. This applies to my SS too. I didn't answer the question on inference, and I know I need to as my SS teacher has been nagging about that. I counted my L1R4 and I got 25+ points! I think I should go to ITE le as no poly will accept me. I'd rather spent another few more years in ITE as I might not be able to handle poly. Even if I managed to enter a poly, but the course will not be of my liking.
I had my Mother Tongue Programme and the teacher went through yesterday's paper (P2) by giving us the answers, before I sat for another paper. I scored 24/70, which is obviously a fail as I anyhow do. Actually, today I should be doing paper 1 as the papers are alternate (ie. Day 1 - P1, Day 2 - P2, Day 3 - P1...). Instead of doing paper 1, I did paper 2 again. As usual, I was too tired and I just copied the words from the passage to use it as my answer. After I had completed the paper, within an hour, I slept as my eyes were too tired.
After the paper was being collected, I quickly tried to zao as I do not want sister (form teacher) to call me. When I was about to stepped out of the classroom and go to the library, she called me. I thought to myself "SHIT! She saw me le. DIE SIA!" So I went up to her and she asked me where I was going. Then I told her that I was going to the library. She said cannot and told me to call the rest of my classmates down to clean the CT venue. So I helped out by picking the tissue in my trough as my friend told me to do so. She suggested to me to use another tissue paper as the tissue papers in my trough is dirty. I asked around as I did not have any tissue paper., and the school soap very smelly. Then, Marie scolded me for not picking the tissue paper up with my hands. Eh hello, the litter in that trough very disgusting leh. Since you ask me do it, mind as well you do it yourself la! Talk so much for what! In order not to save my breath, I used my hands and picked the litter up. After throwing it into the dustbin, I went to the handicapped washroom to wash my hand as the floor of the other washroom was very wet. When I entered the washroom, I saw a number of my classmates were in there. When I wanted to leave the washroom, they said cannot. In the end, they let me out. When I went back, sister scolded me for not doing anything as she saw me sitting down on the chair. WTH! WTF! I did do hor...just that you never see only. CB!
After the announcements were said, I quickly zao as I don't want sister to disturb me again. Luckily, this time I managed to zao! When I walked out of the school gate with Meeling, 136 just arrived and we ran.
21 May, Friday - Mother Tongue Programme (P1 & P2). I don't feel like attending school as I would be doing Chinese papers for the whole day. Damn tired and very "strong" for me.

18 May 2010

I felt a little giddy when I was in school today as I think I did not have enough sleep the night before. My eyes were very tired as I was half-asleep. During the announcements, I squatted down as I started to see a little black. I did not want to go home as I had Mother Tongue Programme, and I did paper 1. Although I do not like this as I have to do papers everyday, but it will prepare for my Mother Tongue O level on 31 May, which is a few days away. Today, I also got back 4 of my exam papers (ie. Chinese, English Language, AMath, Math). I was shocked when I saw my results as the results wasn't that good. I did not as well as I had expected:( I needed 2 more marks then I can get A1. If I removed those careless mistakes, I could get my A1.
As usual, I had my AMath tuition. My tutor and I revised on some Amath topics which I am weak in.

17 May 2010

15 May, Saturday - In the morning, I followed my mum as she went for her Chiropractic. Later, we went to Manhattan and ate Fish n' Chips before going Cotton On in Anchorpoint to buy new clothes and shoes.
16 May, Sunday - Went to Coffe Club in HarbourFront in the monring to celebrate Fr Paul priestly anniversary and had American breakfast. Mass was celebrated by Fr Paul and Fr Chee. I had lunch in LaoBeijing in Novena with my family and relatives. At night, I watched movies (ie. Iron man) and had Char Kway Tiao for dinner.
17 May, Monday - No school, marking day. Continue watching movies (ie. How to train a Dragon).

14 May 2010

I woke up at 8am when my friend,Meeling called my handphone 3 times. I knew that today I had 2 papers, Phy/Bio (MCQ) and AMath paper 2, but my alarm clock didn't ring and nobody woke me up. When she called me, I just woke up. Afraid that the invigilators will not let me in, I told her that I sure cannot make it on time. But she keep on telling me sure can de, and told me to hurry up. By the time I reached the school hall, it was already 8.50am. I messaged my Physics teacher, asking him whether I can enter the exam hall at this time since the paper had already started. He said can and brought me inside the hall. Although no extra time was given, I managed to complete the paper as I only took 20 minutes to answer all of the 40 MCQ questions. I wonder what my grades would me if I didn't sit for the paper...After the paper, a lot of my friends why I came so late and whether I managed to finish the paper on time. During the break, we began to discuss about the issue...I didn't know that Kai Ting was the one who realised that I wasn't in school, and told Meeling to call me. I made such a good friend:) I thought that Alvina would call my handphone, but she didn't bring hers and she thought that I would be late. Luckily, I wasn't sitting for my O's as they will not let me in.
AMath paper was very tough, and I did not do 13 questions. The environment wasn't right for me as it was very cold. The moment I stepped into the hall, the cold air blew past me and I felt like I was doing my papers in "winter wonderland". My hair stood up many times as I didn't bring my jacket. I couldn't think as I had a "brain-freeze".
I am so happy as today is my last paper!! YAY!! I can play my computer games!!

12 May 2010

11 May, Tuesday: I do not need to go to school as I do not have any paper on that day. From 3pm-5pm, I had my Math tuition with my uncle. We did a number of questions in the 10-year series which I bought 2 years ago. Slept at 3am, the 3rd time...
12 May, Wednesday: SA1 - Math Paper 2 & Biology.
The math paper was very tough as I did not do 11 questions, 13 marks were lost. I knew that the paper would be tough as paper 1 was relatively easy. As usual, I did not have enough time to complete the paper.
I am mentally prepared to fail my Bio as I did not do 1 essay which carries 10 marks. When I was about to start on that question, it was already time's up. When I told my friend about this, they were like wth...10 marks leh!! Usually I'm top in my bio class (bio/phy). I bet this time round I wouldn't be able to have that position. The setter of the paper is my bio teacher, who is leaving the school.
13 May, Thursday: No need to go school again...Must use this time to practise Amath!! I do not like to fail my Amath...

P.S. dye hair = Pai kia?!

10 May 2010

Today, my Geography paper started 15 minutes late as there were 5 papers going on in the hall. I did not really study for my Geog as I could not absorb. On the night before of the exam, I slept around 3am and I could't sleep well although the air-con was switched on. I focused a lot on the chapter of natural vegetation, knowing that it will come out. I didn't realise that it came out in question 2. Instead of doing question 2, I did question 1 which is on rivers. I studied this chapter a little and it is last-minute study. Maybe I was too tired and my brain does not have enough energy to think.
Physics paper started at 11am, the setter was my Physics teacher. The duration of the paper was 1h15min. I thought that I could have some time to sleep (which I usually do for my Physics paper all the time). But this time round, I could not sleep at all as I did not manage to complete the paper. I did not know how to do a couple of questions as I did not know what the question was asking for. Though I did not even study for Physics, I was able to do a lot of questions as my Physics teacher gave us a lot of worksheets for practice.

9 May 2010

Saturday, 8 May: Woke up at 3pm and watched television until 6pm. Did not use the computer:( Ate KFC,fried rice, tomyam sotong, tofu and Pizza Hut drumlets for dinner in my father's mother house. We celebrated my aunt's birthday and Mother's day also. My cousin brought her white furry cat, Angel. I actually mixed their names up as I called her Bella instead of Angel...hehehe...By the way, Angel's tail is so...unique. There is a "poofy" at the end of her tail. Nice collar bell she has...BLING BLING!!!
Sunday, 9 May: Happy Mothers' Day to all mothers!!
I went for 11am mass in my parish. I couldn't sleep well, tossing and turning until 3am. Now, I am revising my Geography as the exam is on Monday, 10 April.

7 May 2010

Wednesday, 5 May: SA1 - Chinese Paper 1 and 2.
Paper 1 consists of letter writing and composition. I have chosen the question on formal letter writing and I wrote on a newpaper article. I used 2 sheets of paper, 1 for each section.
Paper 2 was quite tough and I rushed the last part of the comprehension as there wasn't enough time. majority of the comprehension questions were asking for my own opinion and I just anyhow take the answer from the passage. I hope I will pass my Chinese...
Thursday, 6 May: SA1 - Social Studies and Math Paper 1.
Luckily the chapter which I studied on came out in the essay question. If not, I will fail my SS very badly. It took me 3 days to memorise the content and the link as I studied Book 4 Chapter 2,globalization. I really sat down and memorise, not word for word, only the important points. Hopefully, I can pass my SS the second time...
Math paper was relatively easy but some questions I do not know how to answer so I anyhow threw in an answer with a no link working. I did not study for my Math paper as I was busy studying my SS. Anyway, I am already contented for getting a B3 for last year O level.
Friday, 7 May: SA1 - Chinese Listening Comprehension.
I had to go to school for that 30 minutes just to take the listening comprehension exam. The weather was so hot and I could feel the heat although there was wind. When I reached home, I immediately switched on my air-con just to cool myself down. I cooked instant noodles (Fairprice) and ate it for my lunch.

4 May 2010

I sat for Amath Paper 1 from 8.16am-10.16am instead of 8.15am because of the students who are from 4H and 4G. The invigilator was very angry and he shouted at them. This is also not their first time taking their exams and they should clearly know that they have to be in the respective venue 30 minutes before the paper starts. I did not do one 11 marks question as the allocation of marks was 7 and 4. Maybe practising the questions from TYS were helpful as I did not really panicked as I usually do for the past few years.
At 11.30am, I had instant noodles for lunch as I was very hungry by the time I reached home.

3 May 2010

I managed to practice a number of my amath questions taken from the 10-year series. When I revised the chapter on differentiation, I did until I feel very pek chek...especially differentiating trigo...not to forget integration also gave me a number of problems too...

2 May 2010
