i'll talk abt my feelings abt post promos 1st, in case i forget abt them later. it's more chronological in this sense as well. anw, if anyone is interested, my overall grades are as follows:
Chem - E
Econ - C
Math - D
Phy - D
GP - B4(just nice 54.6..they will round up rite?i certainly hope so.)
i'm onli proud of my GP n Econs results, because GP is realli a tough subj n i tot i wld do badly for promos n pull down my C5/6 grade in mid yrs, but i did quite well for the essay(got 31/50, which is veri veri rare n lucky) i wonder if it's got anythg to do with the topic being blogging..hah.anw i'm glad i noe how to blog n can "crap" smthg out of the qn. as for econs, i m veri VERI HAPPY! =D u all noe i failed mid yrs rite(i hope u all still do) so i was kinda worried tt if i just pass marginally this time it'll be a veri bad grade. in e end i got a high B for promos, and the whole thg pulled my grade frm an O to a C! (n it's my best grade overall lor.wad a turn of events.) tt's..O,E,D,C..a jump of 3 grades! But, i was reali upset with my phy though. i kinda like this subj compared to all other sub coz it's more of a logical thinking sub..which i m..moreover my mid yrs was 69, just one mark short of an A, n it got pushed down to D cos my promos was veri badly done. hai haiz. it just shows phy is not my best sub if i nv study well enuf for it..
after taking so many exams through my whole studying life, i figured out(sort of,it's in e midst) a my own study guide:
- just stay at home n study for goodness sake! don't waste the time looking for ideal places to
mug study. - sleep early! U nid all the brain power n concentration.(I noe U're used to late nights but recently U tend to get realli tired in e middle of the day when U haven realli done much.)
- Or, try to sleep in the dae n work at night. but dun do tt when exams are nearing.
- do not study until the very very last min. U onli risk getting all the formulae mixed up n making urself more tense then u were.
- take gd care of urself so tt u will not be sick during the exams. it hinders ur thinking n ur efficiency.
- tidy ur table so tt u get a conducive env to study at.
- squeeze in time for relaxation activities like brisk walking, running, cycling, etc - not watching TV/surfing net. U can do all tt after the exams.
- eat healthily- avoid overly spicy food that gives U the runs, oily food tt cause u to feel full n sleepy, eat more protein stuff.
- plan early. dun wait till the last min. look wad happened.
- u're more effective when u do prac pp n learn frm wad u dunnoe.come out with a formulae list for chem,math,phy. early.
- work with a goal in mind. keep urself clear-headed, optimistic, motivated.
- try not to listen to music/ radio while studying. u onli end up singing.
p/s: i'm sorta reminding myself by writing all these out so i'm referring to myself with "u".
i hope all will help mi for my mid yrs next yr. jia you! =D
another issue is the thg abt S papers. dunnoe if u all are familiar with it but it's practically the talk of the town in my sch, alongside scholarships. 2 S pps merit are required for sm scholarships, so tt u distinguish urself frm the other "competitors", since 3As are almost an understatement when u apply for scholarships. now I nid a BCDD to apply for S pps, with a B in the subj at promos. working tt out, i
tink i cld apply for econs S pp. but it's kinda weird since i'm like,bad at econs? i dunnoe. it's onli one S pp so it's quite useless since ppl normalli take zero or 2 S pps. plus, i'm not sure wad i wan to take in uni, much less wad scholarship. yah sm scholarships onli nid 3As..so it's actualli ok to not take. but u noe, my sch everyone's like taking it so..u become a weirdo/ a stupid person if u dun take ani. everyone's trying their best to take S pps, even if they dun qualify, they appeal so tt they can take them.tt's how impt they c S pps.
but my mentality is tt i dun nid them, coz i nid to work on my As subj to get my distinctions at A levels. moreover i dun realli noe wad course to major in, much less wad scholarships to apply. i'm not realli for the idea of scholarships, but the fact is tt uni edn is expensive. it costs abt ten thousand per yr inclusive of daily expenses minus tuition grants. how can my family support this, when both mi n my sis will be gg to uni the following yr?
i'm absolutely confused/aimless now. help, anyone?the deadline for application is this fri.

on a lighter note, i was watching the cancer charity show n i began realise how charity shows have evolved.
in the beginning, it was death-defying stunts,like holding ur breath in water for >1min(tt's e onli one i cld tink of..i'm sure there's more dangerous stunts but i just cant tink of them), with
attractive prizes to be won, n there was onli one phone line, the $5 one.
now, it's less dangerous stunts, like singing "huang mei diao"(opera/wayang?) a la Fann Wong in yesterdae's show, the prizes are more attractive, and there's 3 lines instead of 1 so that the realli generous ppl can donate $50 at one go instead of having to dial the no. like, 10 times? it's also more expensive to make a call now. it's like 5.60(NKF) or 6(cancer fund)..wonder issit 'coz of the inflation or higher GST rates.
i would think that the less dangerous stunts are so that the celebrities' lives are not tt much at stake, lesser training time is needed so dey still get to carry on with their acting schedule, public wont complain to newspp, and it is to show tt singaporeans are generous, so they donate not because of the level of danger but it's just to help the less fortunate. but, i also noticed tt there are more hiccups in the show during their stunts. they are more likely to fail and wld always try agn..is it because they lack practice or they always perform beyond their limits?
btw, have u noticed their outfits? it's overly accessorised n designed such tt the clothes serve onli as a decoration, not as an aid in their performance. dunnoe if u all saw terence cao in yest's show. he looked more like he was dressed in sm clown's costume tt was bleached so it wasnt as colourful but the puff sleeves were still evident. this is a charity event, yet they made the costumes such tt the celebrities were mostly gonna ged caught if there' s a fashion police team. lols. it seems more like a variety show-no wait, it is a variety show. oh well.

photos galore!
i've always been wanting to show u all fotos of my class..but i realised i dun haf ani, because i dun bring camera to sch to take class pics, n personalli, it wld seem weird since i'm arguably the most quiet/ un-sociable girl in the class. lucky i finally got the class photos. here they are!
this will appear in the sch mag..lucky i look ok..altho e fringe is abit thick.ahaha.
this is the unofficial one tt i bought as well. i onli bought 2 out of e 5 there is..coz others i look u.g.l.y. i bought this coz it looks funnie.
i recently fell in love with wang zi bian qing wa, and i loved the ring in e show..i wan to buy n wear it myself too! it's so pretty!
kt: i noe u always go out shopping..if ani of u happen to c "affordable" rings tt look like this tell mi okie? thanks! =D
the sky is gloomy. it's gonna rain soon. the night will be colder todae.i like cold weather..but it makes mi feel gloomy too.
p.p.s: noticed my change in style of writing? i wan to
sound mature practise for essay writing. i tink this is a gd medium to do tt coz i enjoy typing on comp then writing it out.
...like a kiss on the neck of just friends
