NS Enlistment Date

Just received my NS enlistment letter lols... so late. haiz...not too happy about it anyways. Got enlisted to Kranji Camp on Jan 10 2012. Am going in for a four week modified BMT and then posted to some Human Resource department. Of course, posted this up on Facebook as soon as I recieved it hahas. Oh ya... am allowed to have four other family members accompany me for this farewell lols. Haha... not really a farewell actually. I am allowed to return home daily as this is not a stay- in camp. So why am I not happy?
Well, firstly the enlistment date is too early. I was expecting my enlistment date to be later next year seeing as my enlistment notice came quite late. However, guess I was wrong. Therefore, I have only got a month after the A levels to enjoy myself before I book in to camp. Lols...
Was intending to have more time to enjoy myself and spend more time bowling and cycling hahas. Was even intending to take up a part time job during that period. However, time seems kind of short now, what with a holiday being planned as well during December and the Christmas holidays. Haiz... hopefully PES E is more slack and we get more free time for ourselves. Then I may get to do the things I want to do... lol!
Secondly, my enlistment is just before Chinese New Year 2012. So I would be "botak" during that 15 days of visiting. Wth... this is really bad lol. Not sure how I look "botak" though. If I do look better, haha it could be a blessing in disguise? Haha...

8 more days to A levels.... Jiayous!!

GP consultations

Haiz… I’m still not doing too well for GP lols. I’m getting only a D for Paper 2.
So I’m planning to write another two more essays to go through with my GP tutor. So far, I’ve already gone through the essay outlines for the two essays during GP consultations so hopefully I’ll be able to produce better results. Haizz… well at least there’s still time.
Therefore, I’ve also booked an extra GP consultation for next week. Hahas… yeah! So I’ve got two GP consultations next week! Lols… hope all these chioinging and working hard will pay off! Ciaoz!

Caring Teacher Award

Finally submitted the form for the nomination of my Econs teacher for the Caring Teacher Award 2011. Haiz… been dragging it on for so long already that I was quite surprised that nominations were still accepted lols.
Procrastination again!
The dead line was supposed to be on the 7th of October lols. Almost three weeks ago. However, the office said that the dead line had been extended but still I didn’t think it would be extended until this long lols. Actually, I think I was just lucky. The teacher in charge happened to be in the office at that time when I went to submit the form, or at least, to find out if nominations were still accepted!
So therefore, the Teacher in charge then just accepted the form, much to my relief I might add!Thank goodness lols.
Just glad that it’s finally done though. Filled the form up just this morning lols. Anyways, I do not think I’ll be nominating any other teachers already after this. Quite paiseh actually, so late submission… hehs!

Why I can’t stay home to study

Had a really ineffective day yesterday studying at home. Lols, was Deepavali yesterday and so the school was not open for us to study there. So had no choice but to do my studies at home instead. However, was really not effective. Either I was too tired or kept being distracted, even though I tried not to be though. Point is, didn’t do much studying yesterday. Today was much better, did mostly Chem though. Think I need to do more of Maths though. Hmm… will most probably be doing all Maths tomorrow. One more week to the A levels, kind of excited… hahas!
11 days to the A levels… no time to get panicked now
Now’s the time to get enthu and excited about the A levels.. Chiong arh!!

Yet another fruitful COE

Went for Chem COE again today. Went with the intention of meeting the same tutor that I had consultation with the other time. Hoped she was there. Indeed, she was there just as before, and she wasn’t occupied. So I approached her and told her which questions I had problems with. She asked if those were of the same topic as before (ie. Chemical Equilibria) and then asked if I wanted her to run through the topic of Chemical Equilibria again just to do a re-cap.
Wow.. so nice of her! Well, of course I said “Ok!” immediately. Hahas.. she did a re-cap of the topic Chem Equilibria again using different diagrams and after which, she asked if I was from S18. Of course I wasn’t so I told her I was from S13 instead. Then, she even went on to give me some similar questions from the other schools’ Prelim Papers that we’ve been given so as to practicewhat we have just gone through. Hahas… was really helpful, even though I wasn’t her student lols. After which, she proceeded to help me solve the problems that I had. I had questions on Solubility Product this time though and after the consultation with her, I sure felt clearer on how to approach similar questions.
Just as we finished up and I was getting up to go, she told me” You’re quite good, you know!”
I then replied truthfully,”Actually no lah, I can understand but cannot apply to all the questions.”
Hahas, made me feel really good haha. Then I thought, could S18 be one of the better Chem classes?
Hahaha… still got lots to work on for my Chem though, but guess what I need now is more practice.
Gonna do some practices on Solubility Product first to recap what we’ve done today.

19 days to A levels... no time to get panicked now
Now’s the time to get enthu and excited about the A levels.. Chiong arh!!

Shaved

Finally took some time off to remove my facial hair yesterday lol. After that, I looked less like a monkey yeah. More human.
Then again, looked into the mirror and couldn't recognise myself at first. Lol...
At least I have a cleaner image now.

Chem consultation

Went for Chem COE again today. As Chem COE started at 9am in the morning, I got up slightly earlier than before and got down to school early. As usual, since it was Wednesday, my Class tutor was there too. There was just one other teacher though. Both tutors were busy with other students and so I waited. After a while, another Chem tutor came in and I approached her instead. Hahas, lucky I did too. She cleared up the whole Ionic Equilibria topic for me. Haha, saves me the trouble of taking time to look through it lol. Haven't taken time to do so lol.
After that, I stayed back a little while more to clarify some other questions that I had before heading down to the library again for revision. Only stayed till about 2pm before we left.
Sure was helpful man.. Hahas, lazy me... lol!

Hot weather

Been having really “predictable” weather for the past few days. Well, not sure if that’s a good thing. So it’s been really scorching hot from early in the morning until after noon, and then it starts pouring in the evenings. It’s been this way consistently for the past two days since Monday. Well, the weather in the morning is really good for cycling of course. Hahas, but then I’ve to prepare for the A levels so kind of missing this out lol. However, for us JC students who are busy studying for the A levels, the hot weather is certainly not helping. Thus, most of us JC2s have taken to cooping ourselves up in the school library for a cooler studying environment. Thankfully, the school has also opened up two other air conditioned venues for us to study in. Therefore, the library isn’t too crowded up. Anyways, I sure do hope that there is such hot and sunny weather after the A levels hahas. I will then be able to have more outdoor activities. Okay, so what’s not so good about this weird weather is that we get caught in the rain every time we leave school. As it only starts pouring in the evenings, which is also the time that we are done studying and are leaving school, we get drenched every time we set off home. Lol… So I was smarter today. Having noticed the weather pattern, I thus left just slightly after noon today. I got home way before it started pouring. Yes! It was as I expected. A downpour, no less! It is still pouring as I write…

19 days to the A levels… We’re almost there…

Change for the better

Just sat at the school Café just now and realised that the tables had been replaced. Didn’t realised that all this time lol. Makes me wonder how long it was since I last sat in the Café, or when was it that I last went there? I’ve been studying in the school library lol, so hadn’t been to the Café for quite some time. Hmm… and the school is also changing the uniform I think and the school tie as well as I’ve talked about in an earlier post. Lucky that doesn’t concern us JC2s anymore, imagine having to get used to all these changes and at the same time having to face the A levels. Phew…

20 days to the A levels… We’re almost there…

GP Lunch Treat

Had the GP lunch gathering by our GP tutor today as promised. In fact, I actually forgot about it. Woke up this morning quite late actually seeing as it was the first day of study break. Hahas, actually wanted to sleep in till noon then get to school only in the afternoon for studying. Then, it suddenly occurred to me about at about 10am that “Hey isn’t it the 17th today?” Lol… I rushed to school then and still had time to do some studying before lunch. Well, as the dishes were ordered by us, they were quite predicted. However, it was surprising to see that there was enough food to go around despite there being at least three classes of teenage students around. The food was divided into two rows, one for the teachers and the other for the students. Of course, the food for us was depleted much earlier than that for the teachers. Hahas, throughout our meal, our GP tutor literally invited all the teachers who were there at the concourse to join us in the buffet. Thus it really was surprising to see that there was ample food to go around with extras. Really makes me wonder how many people he ordered the food for. Hahas… Of course, we went for seconds but by that time there weren’t much food left. Anyways, we had pretty much eaten our fill so we stopped at two helpings. Then it was photo taking time. Took a couple of photos and it was back to studying.

Ouch!! Ouch!!

Ouch!! Woke up this morning and couldn’t get up off my bed. Again due to my aching stomach muscle of course. So I had to roll off my bed again just like before hahas. So, just like before, I went for some sit ups on Sunday which thus resulted in the aches. Then I realised that my back was sore too. Lol… due to the sit ups again I guess. Didn’t really do too many this time round though. Usually did about 50 sit ups and jog 2.4km but this time only did about 30 sit ups then it started aching. Jogged about 2km only as well. Lol…



21 days left to A levels… OMG!!

GP consultation booking… chiong arhz

So our GP tutor had informed us prior to today that he will be opening up consultation slots during our study break. However, it is on a “rush-to-get- it” basis. So what my friend did was to get a long strip of paper, something like a sticker and write the guys’ names four times on each long strip. He then told us to peel off the sticker and just paste it so that we would take up four consultation slots each week. Didn’t really like the idea at first as it was really unfair and I was sure I didn’t need so many slots back to back. Wasting time as well. Lol…
But then he suggested that we take up the slots first then should our classmates need it we can pass it to them. That seemed quite okay so I agreed. Although still quite unethical of us to do that but I didn’t want to ruin things so just went with it. So long as the GP tutor was okay.
We were also quite unfair to the other classes by actually being at the concourse (where we were to be booking our consultation slots) earlier than the supposed time. We were lucky because we got released from lessons earlier so we were able to make it down before 12pm. By 12pm, the table at the concourse was already surrounded by us, 10S13! We then hurriedly booked our slots and then were rushed off as more and more people came.
Hahas… it was only after I left that the thought occurred to me. What if no one takes the slots from me or exchanges the slots with me? Then won’t I be meeting the tutor back to back for four days in a row. Lol… then it will be inefficient!

Farewell Assembly - As the end approaches, we will be left with many memories…

So, what did we do for our last CT time with our Class Tutor? We had our activity in our “Home Class” – G2-69. We were instructed to place 22 tables and chairs in a circle for ourselves to sit in. Then our Class tutor took out a stack of papers with each of our names written on each one and told us to take the one with our name on it, Then she told us that we were to pass that piece of paper to the person sitting on our right and we were each given a minute to write well wishes to whoever’s name was on that paper and keep passing the paper around so that everyone has a chance to write well wishes for everyone else. Haha, most of the time we either had too much to write to our fellow classmates or just couldn’t think of what to write that we overshot the time limit.
Haha, how can our thoughts for two years be expressed in a single minute? Lol… there was just too much to say haha. So as it was, we finally finished with all 22 pieces of paper and each was returned to its owner haha. Phew! I had to come up with 21 different variations of “Study Hard!”, “Do not give up!” and “You can do it!” lol. And it was all impromptu. Hahas, it was also then that I realised how many of my classmates I had not spoken to in a long while. Just didn’t know what to write for them lol, It was really scary man. I hardly knew more than half of those in the class lol. Anyways, good memories we’ve had yeahs!
After I got home and read through the well wishes that my classmates had written to me, I felt quite comforted. Didn’t know that they actually noticed me haha. As they had once again written, I was a very quiet person and all that. Haiz… I have really tried to be more outspoken haha. Guess that’s just me. Some others were more encouraging though. Some did mention that I had been a good friend and was really helpful. Thanks all the same for all your words of encouragement hahas!
On a final note, my CT has certainly had a change of perspective towards our class. She assured us that she has certainly seen a change in our attitude towards our studies since we first met. Well, I’m just glad that it all ended well for all of us hahas. Then she said that the thing about JC life is not the content that we have learnt academically.
It really is about the tough times that we have pulled through in the two years here and how we have helped one another along the way. Hmm… I kind of agree with this. For one, I am sure I have many good memories of my JC life, much more than my 4 years in Secondary School, I daresay. Somehow, JC seems much more memorable than secondary school life.
Maybe because I am a little more involved… Or it could be the because of the wonderful friends I’ve made here in JC hahas. Don’t think we’ll have much time to be meeting up during the A levels papers as I will be having slightly longer papers due to extended timing for my papers so this could be one of the last times that the whole class is together.
Haiz…

Farewell Assembly –Our last day!

Had farewell assembly today as a farewell to us JC2s. It was our last assembly too and the last time we would be singing our College Anthem and saying the College Creed. So this was probably the first time since orientation that I sung the College Anthem out loud hahas.
Well, to start the day off, we had our last Physics lesson for first period. It was to be our last lesson in a classroom setting too. After that, we then went for a break before going for our last CT time and then Farewell Assembly. I shall zoom in to CT time later in the post.
So our last assembly began with the singing of the College Anthem, the full version of course since this is a formal event. Then, mostly there were teachers and alumni members up on stage giving talks on how best to prepare for the last lap before the A levels and also to say some words of encouragement, Then the Farewell gifts were given out which was an Ez- link card that was nicely decorated and had our name on it. Finally we did some cheers and then left at about 2pm. Of course, I didn’t stay for NSP today haha,

24 days to the A levels… OMG!!
Went for a swim again today. Quite good weather actually. Was scorching hot… haha! Again hung around on a bench under the sun for about an hour before going to swim.Managed 24 laps this time.Woots! Still progressing hahas!
Now that lessons have ended, studying for the next three weeks depends on me. So I have decided to go to school daily to study as it has certainly proven to be more effective. Maths COE will be open daily from 10am to 4pm for the next three weeks as well. So I will be able to clarify my maths problems in school. Chem COE will also be on weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Hahas, looks like I’m going to be camping in school liaoz. Most likely hahas!
Hmm… spent lots of money this week. Lol! Lots of last minute Prelims papers that needs to be collected. Huge stacks for our revision. Chiong arh!!

Thursday, October 13, 2011

Received the last Econs Package yesterday. It was called… Finale Pack!Lols, basically just a compilation of Prelim papers and answers from other schools.
I finally had my file undergone slimming treatment yesterday as well. Haha, aka sorted out cum removed some of the stuff I wouldn’t need for the next few days.
So my file which was almost four inches thick is now much much lighter and slimmer. Yah, and my Class Tutor has requested for the whole class to be at school tomorrow. Hmm… think it’s for the activity she has planned for us for the CT time tomorrow, The last CT time that we will have. Makes me feel more excited about tomorrow haha.Looking forward to getting the Farewell Gift as well.Haha…
Ya, it’s the last day of school for the JC2s already. After tomorrow, it will be the study break.
School ended at 12pm today and stayed back a little while to complete SAJC Chem Paper 3. Decided to skip the Chem Paper 3 Mock Exam as the other guys were not going anyways. Therefore, got home quite early and am intending to finish up with the SAJC Chem Paper 3 and run through my Econs Prelims Papers for consultation tomorrow.

25 days to the A levels OMG!!

Mr A getting my name right

Well, we’re almost coming to the end of lessons. Just one more day tomorrow and school’s OUT! Hahas, and it was only this week that Mr A finally started getting my name right haha. No more “JieYing” hahas! Now it’s just plain “JieYong” Haha… not that I mind though. Well, at least I will leave school with the name JieYong. Phew!

25 days to A levels:)

New look – Unkempt!!

Been looking kinda unkempt due to having been staying back in school and not sparing much time for anything else. Therefore, nails were growing much too long and hair, yes that includes facial hair lolol, has also been getting too long. Therefore been contemplating getting myself groomed actually. However, was trying to find a time to do it such that the next time I had to do any grooming would be just before the A levels exam. Haha, didn’t have to want to have to do it too many times. Haha lazy me! But seriously, all these hair and nails and what not seems to be growing much faster these days. Lol, coz I’m growing? Or coz I am taking less notice of these things and so they seem to be growing faster. LOL!!
Anyways. Finally cut my nails yesterday and did my hair during the last weekend. Not much choice for the hair lol. Thought it could ‘tahan’ one more week until school ends but then the school had to have a grooming check this week. Haiz sianz…
Only thing left now is my facial hair. Haha, left the last one or two days before study break begins. Not really keen on getting it done before study break begins next week anyways.
Actually, think I look kind of good with the facial hair… haha!
Lol will get it done next week lah!Haha…

OMG!! 25 days to the start of A levels! Gotta study hard!

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

Had our last Maths lesson today and our Maths teacher gave us a farewell gift. It was a pencil case… haha!
Lolol..tiosuan today. Due to me not having shaved for quite some time - yeah cause school’s ending soon and I might as well shave at a later date – so the facial hair was really starting to show lol. Haha, not that I can see it anyways, so it doesn’t bother me. However, tiosuan by Jeremy lol. Told me I needed to shave liao and said “You want 10-cent shaver or 1- dollar shaver?” Zzzz… Will get it done soon lol!
Didn’t stay back for NSP today though.I was much too tired today and just couldn’t stay awake.Haha went home to take a nap before continuing with studies at home.
We were informed that we needed to wear our house T shirtstomorrow. Lol, most of us haven’t worn it for quite some time already. Haha… some don’t even know where they dumped theirs. Haha, for those who’ve grown, don’t even know if it still fits! Penalty for not wearing tomorrow – Got to buy another House T shirt. LOL! Last day of school for JC2s liaolehs! Waste money haha… better remember to bring!
Had an Econsremedial lesson from 4pm to 5pm today as well. Wow… Econs teacher is sure putting in a lot of effort and time to have make up lessons for us to go through as many essay questions and case studies before we go off for the study break. She is also very willing to have consultations with us despite her very busy schedule lol. Most of the time she literally has back to back lessons and has to rush off when the time is up… lol!
Therefore, considering to nominate her for the ‘Caring Teachers’ Award’ lol. Hope it’s not too late.
Been bumping into Wei Zhiquite a lot when going to school these few days. So had lots of opportunities to chat with him haha! On one occasion, learnt from him that we would be notified on the day before our release of A levels results should we be receiving an award. Haha… looking forward to that! At least get a Most Improved Award yeah!Gotta study hard and stay focused siahahahas!

OMG!! 26 days left to the A levels. Chiong arhz!!

Getting more used to NSP

Had ERP today again.We did OECD Case 2007. Well, I didn’t actually complete it before ERP lol. Did the wrong case study. So just looked through it before the ERP and still managed to participate in class discussions. Yeah… that’s what’s important!
I then went for NSP again today after ERP at about 3.30. Yeah ERP lasted for almost 2 hours lol.
As usual, we hung around in the library till 7.15pm before heading home.I managed to complete a SAJC Chem Paper 2 while I was there. Somehow, felt quite awake and just kept taking stuff out to do after I completed the SAJC paper. Time flew by and soon sun had set and it was already 7pm. Dun know why, somehow felt that time went by real quick today. Not sure if it was the music that I was listening to on my MP3 that made me more awake or the fact that I was getting more used to staying back in school for NSP but either way, it sure helped haha. Considering that I had a splitting headache in the first period in the morning ie. Physics lesson, this was quite a surprise, that I actually managed to last that long haha.
First few days I stayed back, kept felt like leaving every time I sat down to do work. This time Chee Koon finished off first and he requested for us to leave. Looks like I’m finally settling down to begin on work haha.
Apparently we are playing Dodge Ball for PE tomorrow. LOL…this will really be the last PE lesson.Still, I dunno if I should attend PE lesson. Haha…I’m not very keen to play Dodge Ball lol. Think I’ll just bring along PE attire just in case.

Two more days of school and one more Physics lesson to go

OMG!! 27 days left to the A levels. Chiong arhz!!

Last week of school

Wow time flies. Monday again! But this Monday is different.
Monday of the last week of school for us JC2s and after this week, study break begins. For only three weeks though. A levels coming real soon!
Maths COE will still be on during the study break though… daily haha!
Our CT informed us of our timetable on Friday.The day of Farewell Assembly.Woots! Only having Physics on that day as lessons end at 10am.Haha then it’s programmes lined up for us for Farewell Assembly.
Hmm…then again, after twelve years of studying, this will be the last week sitting in a classroom attending lessons already. No more lessons after that, only lectures.
Haha,I also realised that completing your work when asked to does help. Had a whole hour free today just because I completed my work at home before going to school.
GP homework supposed to be done last Friday in class. However, we brought it home to do instead as teacher was not around.
As expected, most of the class didn’t complete it lol.Since I had, I was given an hour free while the rest of the class did it… hahaha! So took the time to read the latest issue of Broader Perspectives. It was just given out and apparently quite a lot of good essay writing pointers inside. Some points for various essay questions as well. Looked through “How important is it for people in your society to retain a sense of tradition?”
Oh ya, and it’s 10/10/11 today. Time to commemorate the loss of my wallet, phone and key on a cycling trip this day last year.Hmm….Missed a wedding reception cum 2A-07 gathering as well due to that incident.Haha… time really flies. It’s already been a year. Felt
like I just lost those stuff few months ago. Lol…
Left early from NSP today coz had to complete Econs Homework
Haha therefore we signed in to NSP for only 5 minslolol.

OMG!! 28 days left to the A levels. Chiong arhz!!

New school tie!

Well this has nothing to do with us JC2s of course. Haha, after a re-voting of the new school tie, the skinny BLACK TIE HAS EMERGED THE WINNER!!
So it’s to be out only in 2012 of course. Like I said, not my business. However, I really like that tie haha. Voted for it in the last voting of course but it got out voted. Hahathis was due to the prank that the JC2s played on the J1s of course haha. So the JC2s weren’t allowed to vote this time around and the result was certainly much better.
Think I’ll probably get one when I go collect my results next year haha. The tie looks real cool man. And it’s a skinny tie haha.

OMG!! 28 days left to the A levels. Chiong arhz!!

Noisy day

Throughout the day, school was like a shopping mall lolol. Or more of a theme park actually. The JC1s had just finished Promos exams and so had Inter House Games today. Therefore, there was loud music being blared all throughout the day, thus disrupting lessons a little. To add on, the loud cheerings and shouting from our dear juniors contributed to the extreme noise level. Hais but who can deny them a little fun to let off all the stress built up from taking exams?
Unfortunately for them, a downpour came at bout 4pm thus disrupting their activities. Soccer continued though, in the downpour, but when the rain became heavier, even they were made to stop playing.
Another effective session at Math COE again today. More teachers were around for consultation this time round. Looked up yet another teacher for consultation today. Hahas, asked a question on Vectors and realised my concepts on Vectors were pretty weak. Ended up the teacher did a quick review of Vectors for me. Seems that I was quite confused with all the formulas.
However, the teacher didn’t ask me for my name after I had finished clarifying my doubts, much unlike on other occasions which the teacher asked for my name, class and subject tutor after I had finished clarifying questions. Haha… probably she was just too relieved to get away from this noob lol. Anyways, mostly clarified questions on an ACJC Prelim 2011 Paper 1 which was really tough to do. After the consultation, I realised that most of the questions were quite simple actually, all stuff that I do know.I just had problems applying that’s all!
Left for home at bout 5pm after COE and didn’t stay to study in school. Lucky I did too, got home and realised that parents were bringing us out for dinner. Wow went to AppleBee’s for a western meal which was quite good actually. However, probably coz I was just too tired, the meal just didn’t taste as good. Was starving so gobbled down most of the food.Went to Candy Empire for the first time today as well. Wow all the chocolate, cookies, potato chips and many, many other wonderful stuff sure made me feel more hungry! Bought some chocolate cookies before we left anyways. Don’t think I can work in Candy shops eh!Much less a candy shop such as Candy Empire lols. Iwon’t be earning much income. Hmm will probably be something like, “Eh boss, could you just put this month’s salary in the cash register? I’ll take these two bags of cookies home.” LOL!!
Well, poured again today. Made a record man! Five days in a row. Downpour every day lol.Been drenched at least thrice this week. Still find it a hassle to use an umbrella lol. Noticed most other pioneers also prefer to just make a dash through the rain to the bus stop.
We received our PQs back for some checking today as well. After scanning through, I noticed that what my Class tutor wrote for my PQ was pretty much what I had written myself. Guess she didn’t edit it too much. Compared to some of my other classmates, the length of my PQ is considerably okay I guess. Hahas, guess putting in more effort to write the first draft does help huh. Heard that students from some other classes had better PQs but well…
These things are really difficult to control. Anyways, people from other classes probably had a better rapport with the Class Tutors? For me, I am sure I haven’t built up much of a rapport with my Class Tutor. At least, my PQ isn’t that bad.

NSP again

Stayed back in school for Night Study Programme (NSP) again today. This time I decided to have a plan of which papers I wanted to complete during NSP so as to be more efficient. Past NSPs had me flipping through the mass of worksheets in my file and picking random incompletedones to try to finish them. Thus kind of been wasting time. Indeed, I was much more efficient this time round. Completed two papers all the time I was there.Finished off a Chem paper 1 and Maths Paper1.We stayed till 8pm this time round though Really cool! Somehow I like staying out late in the night. Haha know that 8pm isn’t really considered late but still at least it’s dark. Despite enjoying this, it sure drains a lot of energy. Beenfeeling really tired and drained man.Phew!
Time seems to really be flyingby huh? I have about a month left to the A levels only. Haiz… Tomorrow’s Friday again.We’re another week nearer to the A levels.

32 days to the A levels… Time is really running out!!!

Chem Consultation

I stayed back in school today again to study. Found it really helpful as before. Went for Chem COE before going to the library though. Agreed to go with Chee Koon of course and then remembered that today was Wednesday. Omg!! My subject tutor cum Class tutor will be there at COE!! Expected many teachers to be around anyways so may not need to consult her. Expected most of my classmates to be present too so she would probably be too busy to attend to me. Not very keen to consult her… my Chem is still not very good lols.Dun want her to see all my mistakes.
Unfortunately, there weren’t many ppl there. She was free so she came over and asked if we needed help. ThenChee Koon “kindly” volunteered that I needed help (so kind of him huh?).Thus,no choice lol! I had to search for something to clarify with her. Had lots to clarify actually; lots of mistakes.But can’t clarify with my class tutormah. Still got to be careful not to show her too many of my mistakes. Seriously, the kind of mistakes I am making will certainly have her thinking that I am not studying for Chem.That’s not true though. I am getting slightly better already. Just need to continue doing more papers and get more practice. Anyways found some questions from recent papers to clarify with her and it didn’t go too badly. At least, she didn’t tell me off for not knowing some basic stuff lol.
Stayed there until COE ended at 5pm and then went to library to study again till 7pm plus.

10S13 Year 2 Class Photos

Made a purchase for class photos again today as well. As usual,I purchased one of each of the photos.These included two formal, an informal and a special candid.Paid 12 dollars in all for the photos. Hmm… think all are small sized photos though as I was not asked what size I wanted and all were of the same price.
My usual practice was to have at least one large photo for my last year in the school.

33 days to the A levels… Time is really running out!!!

Unwelcomed signs… Being too relaxed!!

Been feeling kinda relaxed these last couple of days. As it is, not a good thing though. What with the A levels drawing ever nearer.
Monsoon season’s not helping as well. This morn was the second time in a row that I’ve over slept. And I have been waking up with the feeling that ‘it is Sunday today!.’ and then going back to sleep. Thus that explains why I overslept. Haiz… feeling too relaxed, not good!
Stayed back in school to study with classmates today. Had a couple of hours of really efficient studying without all the distractions that I have at home. Hahas, all thanks to having overslept anyways. Then I slept 8 hours after waking up at bout 3 30 as it was raining slept till 6.30 and had to rush again.
Yup rained again this morn and lasted for more than 6 hours. The rain lasted till about 10am although it had become a drizzle by then.
Drenched again when I got to school of course!
Anyways back to staying back in school studied 5 hours straight in the library with the cool atmosphere almost zero noise with the occasional dragging of chairs and flipping of pages only. Gonna do it again tmr and hopefully everyday after school hahas. Depends largely on whether I get enough sleep the previous night though. Gonna be waking up at or after 6am from now onwards seeing as I can get up at 6.30 and still get to school on time. Gonna try to get more sleep and see if it helps. Finally, I also started buying milk to drink today. Been meaning to do so to get more calcium intake. Going to continue to do so… haha!
Went COE again yesterday.Clarified some questions that I had with yet another teacher as there were really few teachers available for consultation despite the small number of students there. Subject tutor was there as well but was occupied by some other classmates Stayed there for three hours till COE ended. Haha, did lots of maths!

37 days to the A levels… Time is really running out!!!

OCTOBER?!! OMG!! Time slow down!

Wow entered into Oct already!Time flies!I’ve therefore only got about slightly more than 30 days to the actual A levels exam!!!
Monsoon season now yet my umbrella just gave up on me a few days back. So far been caught in one such downpour early in the morn and managed to avoid one. That happened just after I got to school anyways so it was a really close shave. Not planning to get an umbrella anyways despite all that. Well, it’s been pouring almost every morning since those two days. Guess the monsoon season is really upon us?
Recently also received news that us JC2s, who will be graduating really soon, will thus by default have joined the Pioneer Alumni Club (PAC).Lol… Joining of PAC requires us to pay 5 dollars. It was quite obvious that a majority of the cohort were not very keen on the idea lol… Why must we join? Most of us may not even have the time to return to the school lol.
Well, I am once again going on a short trip to Malaysia tomorrow to visit some relatives. Will blog again on Monday.
