I've seen better days, but I've also seen worst. I don't have everything that I want, but I do have all I need. I woke up with some aches and pain, but I woke up.
My life may not be perfect, but I am blessed.

HILARIOUS AMATH!

My tablemates, Jessica and Candace, and I had a good laugh today during Amath. The joke was not really funny and can be considered quite lame, but we find joy in little things in life! That's a good thing to laugh really hard sometimes too, relieves stress and keeps me awake during the lesson. Anyways, this is how it all started..

Candace forgot to bring her trusty plastic bag filled with numerous correction tape today, and being labelled as ms bring-everything-to-school-everyday, she had to live up to her name. She asked Matilda to go to the canteen and get her the cheapest correction tape available. The correction tape turned out to be the one that Jessica uses! Candace tried to use it but said she didn't like it. She said after today, she will give it to Jess.

When Jess went down for lunch, we sneakily took her correction tape and exchanged the refill. Then we put the newly bought one into Jessica's pencil case and hid her old one into mine. Jessica came back and thought that we were acting strangely, but did not think much about it.

After a few Amath sums, Jessica was in need of a correction tape and reached out into her pencil case. She took out the new one and HAHAHAHA, her expression was priceless.

"Eh, Candace, did you take my correction tape by mistake?" Jess asked.

Candace and I immediately plunged our heads into our desk and burst out into uncontrollable laughter. Jessica was just stunned by our behaviour. Hahaha, her expressions is always so hilarious! Then we explained that Candace didn't want it and she felt that it was time to change her old one so Candace decided to give it to her as a present. Yet, she still didn't want to accept it.. But after explanations, she finally understood our intentions and accepted it!

Haha, and I got a few light wags from Jess for playing such a trick when it was just a simple gesture to give it to her. HAHA, I loved today. I had experienced the joy of laughing so hard once again. I have never laughed so hard this entire year, just a little giggle over lame jokes here and there.

THANKS FOR TODAY, JESSICA & CANDACE!! 😂

Had a fight with meimei

Please stop being a pain in the neck. You think you're very cool just by ignoring everybody when you're pissed, but you just seem like some idiot. Stop being so proud and arrogant. Don't think so highly of yourself cause you're not at all near prefect. Wait till you fall and you'll finally understand that it's good to be humble at times. Just because things don't go your way doesn't mean that you must treat others like crap or threaten them. Stop showing silent tantrums cause you're no different from a baby. Just to save your face, you want everybody to go out of their way or stop what they're doing to serve you. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?? You don't deserve such a service.

You think that you'll get pissed but I tell you, everyone gets pissed sometimes. But everyone keep it to themselves, forgive and forget. Only idiots like you keep harping onto the fact that people did not serve you and showing silent tantrums. It's just so childish and baby-like. Oh, when will you wake up? You get frustrated, people get frustrated too. Learn to step into other's shoes at times and experience how they feel towards your irresponsible behaviors. Don't think you're the best and learn to forgive. Your life will be much happier and carefree instead of filling it with the burdens of grudges and revenge.

And you think that you're strong and more muscular and everything, but I think that you're super heavy and  fat. Don't think that just because you're stronger than me means that you can hurt me in any way you want to. I have feelings too, just so you know.. I'm not a toy and don't like to be scratched till my flesh is exposed. It hurts. And stop piercing your nails into my flesh, cause I won't know that I'm injured. Only when I bathe and allow the waters run over these tiny injuries will they hurt me and make their presence known. Please stop, I'm tired.

And it's not that I wanna expose you or be mean, just wanna let you know how I felt.. Many people keep these things inside of them, but this would just let the people continue going around and unknowingly hurt others. I feel that telling them, although it might be hurting, is the best thing to do cause it gives them a chance to change. Unknowingly going around and hurting others might also be prevented! Anyways, I hope that you'll change FOR THE BETTER! :)

Mentally drained.

I kinda loved today because we end at 1230!! But sadly, it's on a CCA day. Oh well, it's still good cause i had more time to complete my work. After the last period, which is bio, i wanted to chiong down for lunch since lessons have ended and my stomach was growling. Then, we had an impromptu extra chinese lesson from 1230-130. So my lunch had to be pushed back :( But i think that i did well for the 2 综合填空. I got like 7/10 for both,which is like a major achievement for me cause my median/mode mark is usually 2-3, hehe. Ok, my chinese is poor.. And i really feel very motivated to do 1 chinese phrase book like what laoshi recommended, but i don't think my motivation will last long and my laziness will soon suck away my motivation.

Then i went back to class cause everyone had already finished eating and i didn't want to be a loner.. Luckily, Nat saved the day and we went down together to have lunch. On the way down, we just kept talking! I didn't realize we had so much to say. We talked about Kylie and her mood swings, hehe. She was telling me how Kyl's mood swings were when they were in Sec 1. HAHA, what a random thing to talk about. And a few cadets came for interview? Ok, we ended up having talk cock session. Okay, i don't really know why but i felt mentally drained after the day ended. AHH, i hate this feeling of being mentally tired but physically motivated to do work.. HELP!! Should i go and sleep or do some work which was planned to be done on wed? I've completed everything i've planned for today. OKAY, I'VE MADE UP MY MIND: I'll do some work nonetheless,  I don't want to feel like time wasted. Okay, today was bitter-sweet..

And i don't think i should be here, BYE!

Amath test today was one which I literally dreaded.. I really couldn't do a single thing for anything with any relation to trigo. I was so afraid of being the only one in class to fail. I don't wanna have to taste that bitter feeling of failure. It's not a wonderful feeling, to be honest. I tasted it during EOYs last year, hated it. So I had a full recess and fully enjoyed my time during recess. 1hr later, it was lunch. The entire class practically stayed back during lunch to study Amath. Wendy helped me with all the trigo nonsense that I didn't understand and didn't bother to attempt from the hol hw. Luckily, all that I had learnt from her in that short span of half an hour, I planted it into my brains. And it came out!! YAY!! I was sooooo happy and did the test in a relaxed manner.

I usually get very stressed towards the end of the test as I was always afraid of 'no time to complete'. And Candace pressing frantically on the calculator doesn't help. Makes me feel even more stressed. But for this test, which I didn't prepare much, I felt calm. I could do the test not in a rushed, chionging manner and still had enough time. And when the last few mins came and Candace was frantically pressing all the buttons on her calculator, I finished the test and was not affected by it. Usually after every test, I'll be like 'aiya, I minus 37538287 marks liao'. This is like the first test in which I don't feel any regrets. And I have the exact same answers as Jessica, haha, we always check answers after the test just to get a glimpse of the number of marks we have lost. Oh well, hoping for the very best.

An awesome day!

Today, we ended school early due to good results thanks to the Sec 4s of 2012. And we were released at 1130, YAY!! So we headed to Clementi for half part section lunch at Sakura. $24.60 per person, ahh, feel so xintong now. I pity Keethanjali, she can't eat meat, so she spent her time feasting on veggies! :( but I had a great time! Food was good, platoon mates were awesome, memories created were invaluable. I've not laughed so hard in ages, I think I've lost my laughter. Must get it back soon.. Anyways, thanks to Jo, Keethan, Kyl, Chen, Deb, Jia (in order of nominal roll) for all the fun we had today..

And going home, back to work. I have a lot of outstanding work to complete. Hopefully, I'll be able to concentrate and not get distracted. Need to conplete the loa of work. Just wish that procrastination would not catch up with me, though I know it's only a matter of time when it will. Okay, I'm not making any sense here.. Just back from a full meal at Sakura.

Spring Cleaning

I started the long overdue spring clean for my study area and cabinet. Woah, it's so dusty and it took me like the entire weekend. I started on Saturday after tuition and ended not long ago. I stayed up till 1240am on Saturday Sunday morning so that i would have more time to clear up, resulting in me unable to wake up for church. Sorry for being late. Had WEST LUNCH today and played games before planning a schedule and off back home to continue clearing up. I hope to be able to get to know the awesome west teens more. Hope 2013 would be the year friendships would be strengthened/built/renewed.

Well, i think clearing up the desk once in a while gives me the motivation to work/study harder. Why? I actually have no idea. The feeling of accomplishment after cleaning up my pig's sty brings motivation to myself. I kinda like to change the way things are arranged once in a while, just a habit.

And now that everything's neat and tidy, I'm so looking forward to a garage sale to sell off all my unused or unwanted things so that at least i can earn some money. Sis and bro were questioning me why have a garage sale and they thought that i was money-faced. But actually Dad commented me for that as he said that it was not easy to earn money. Only then did sis and bro understand the rationale of my actions. We've already decided the 'jobs' we're gonna do: Sis and bro would be in charge of welcoming everybody in. And together with dad, mum, grandma, aunt, they would all be promoting our unused/unwanted products so that people would want to buy it. And I would be the cashier. YAY!! Awaiting the garage sale!!

Screwed up day...

Had Emath test today. I kinda did screw it up. Karen told me it was so super easy that I don't even need to study. But I still did study a bit to be sure. Oh man, and I hope I won't fail!! :( I don't wanna be the last in class. Oh well, at least I found a partner that also thinks that the paper was tough, dear wengyu. Yeah, great minds think alike. I think Karen must be some genius or something..

And we had a talk about O levels with ms teng today. 50+% distinctions in English, would I be the 50+% who won't get my distinction? Would I want to fall short just because of having a low target or not wanting to put in the effort. And usually Crescent would have 70+% distinctions but why this year only 50+%? Because many fell from an A1/2 to a B3 because they set aims that were too low. It kinda taught me the meaning of "so close yet do far". I hope I won't regret next year. I really don't wanna regret the opportunities missed or the chances not taken. I want to live a fulfilling SEC4.

Dear 2013, please be a productive year. Please be good to me.

O LEVEL results, GAH!

Today, we had to skip half of bio so as to accommodate the health screening. So, G1 missed half of bio, physics and chem! YAY, the 3 sciences! And we had bio lesson at the lab, so we just brought our things to the health screening place. And i was like waiting patiently for my turn to check the backbone thing. And it was so long, so Qiao Xu and i went down to buy food to eat for lunch, since sadly, we had to miss lunch due to health checkup too. :( And while i was queuing, Wendy was like running down and calling me to go up cause it was my turn. I panicked and Ariel was being so extremely helpful by laughing so loudly at me :( HAHA. And i dashed up as quickly as my short and stubby legs could carry me. And everybody wasn't even checked. And then we had to let the HMT people go first cause it was nearing the O LEVEL release of results, so therefore, i was the second last to be checked, cause Wendy was the last, HAHA. And i didn't get to eat lunch :( And our bio things were still with us. AND i carried my bio books for like 3+hrs?! loving bio forever..

And luckily i didn't need to strip and check backbone cause they say my backbone was good! What a relief! If my backbone really have any problems, my mum would be super mad at me cause i rarely practice good posture, so yep! And after Wendy and I were done, we dashed to the auditorium. The atmosphere was like INTENSE.. And we were carrying our lovely bio books.

And then the results were passed down. CONGRATULATIONS to those who did well! Your hard work paid off! Don't be complacent and continue to work hard. To those who did not do well, don't be disheartened! You did your best, and that's all that matters. Never give up and work even harder. That feeling of regret is what you don't want to feel again.

And AHH, O levels is so soon! And im not in the mood yet. :( HELP! I hope that our cohort would do better and bring back the standards of Crescent! Jiayou everybody! We'll pull through this together! :)

Dedication ceremony + today!

Sorry for not updating for quite some time now, no time to on com these days. Therefore, I shall post about things that happened yesterday as today was kinda typical for me. I'll still post a bit about today though..

Oh well, I think that dedication ceremony makes me feel super old. Oldest life form in the school?! :( still remember that fateful day when I was a sec 1 and some sec 4 pinned the badge on me. Then she was like 'aiya, it's not straight, how???' and her friend was like 'ok wait'. Then her friend helped me to repin the badge. And then we embraced each other.. Actually it was more like she hugged me and I was in my usual state of shock. Then when the person who first pinned my badge hugged me, I was more prepared and not frozen there, so I just thanked her! :)

And we had time trials for Chinese today. We had to complete the MCQ in like half an hour. Everybody was done by then except for me. Ahh, so paiseh!! And laoshi was like 你还没做完?! And I shyly nodded. And the entire class had to wait for me. Am I that slow?? And S3 peeps were like talking non-stop, resulting in me unable to concentrate. Not my fault lehh. Everytime people talk, I'll just start to zone out and stone, then when there is peace and silence, I'll return back to whatever I'm doing with full concentration. Arhh, I'm still feeling do paiseh now. :(

CCA Open House

There was CCA open house today and it was better than i had expected it to be. YAY! /secretly rejoices/
Ok, but i kinda have to admit that i did not take full charge of this event, but it went well. And events such as Quest and DO and some other crap which i had to do so many things went horribly wrong.. Ok, so in conclusion, i should not touch anything or help out, but i would be such a useless bum like that. Oh well, at least I'll help out a little. YAY!! Although i was kinda a deliverer who transports magazines from room to booth, but it was worth while. HAHA, and i think my face painting skills are improving! Loving today..

A horrible day

Had Quest today. I hated it. I know it was a major screw up due to my lousy planning. I'm so sorry, Charlie, i didn't plan it properly and it was very last minute. Rehearsal was like meh. I was so tired. This post is so short, but i have no energy to type more and i'm like 'talking' to myself.

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL

Today was the first day of school, and i tell you what, I'M EXHAUSTED. I'm really not looking forward to school. Had class interaction in the morning and played some SUPER LAME game till i was falling asleep due to lack of sleep. Apart from the blow wind blow, the rest of the games/discussion were like totally crap. Just right for me to catch a few glimpses of sleep.

Recess was like my wakeup time. But i was still dazing and in my own world while queuing up till i was losing my balance, causing me to move my leg to get more support, therefore accidently stepping on Jovina's foot, resulting in me dirtying her new yellow shoes. They make her look too tall!! :( HAHA, but sorry Jo.

And our form teachers are bobz, like last year and mr mohan. They are not bad actually. After that we had Amath and Emath. Mrs Tang was like talking about the workload for 2013 and i was half asleep, yawning like mad.. Well, she made me realise how tight time is this year and woah, we really have a lot of things to do.

CCA today was tiring, like mentally draining out all of your energy from you. I still have to complete all the Chemistry self study as i didn't do it during the hols. And the teacher doesn't seem like he will tolerate me with my -dont do hw- habit. (just what i think, convinced by peers today). Hopefully, i can complete it tonight. So i shouldn't be here now and get started. BYE!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

MERRY belated CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Christmas was quite normal, i would say.. Usually we would go back to KL or Penang, but i was too busy so only bro, dad and mom went. I so regret not completing my homework. But it's alright, and i love the presents. The suspense you feel when you want to know what's inside, but also don't want anyone to tell you so that you can be presently surprised, AHH, love that feeling. And i received so many many presents this year!! YAY! Love Christmas!

And sis and i went to church yesterday to countdown to 2013!! It was exciting and fun and i think i'm half deaf with the music blasting the entire nusantara hall. But it was FUN!! Hopefully 2013 would go well.

Dear 2013,
I hope that you will fly pass really fast for the months before Os and crawl like an ant after Os. I know you'll be a stressful, tiring, exhausting and restless year, but i hope that it would be fun, exciting and purposeful. In 2013, new friendships will form, old ones strengthened, experiences gained and lessons learnt. 2013, please be good to me. Hopefully 2013 would be a successful year.
Love,
XQ
