Well, posting results are out.
Some got into the school they wanted to, while others didn't. For those who are busy with their appeals, all the best! And to those who are happy, congrats.
Somehow, I feel so fortunate to have gotten into the school I didn't mind getting into. Tj or Vj are both okay to me. =)
The last few days of slacking. Time really flies. Well, I thought I wouldn't have to put on my tk uniform anymore. but... we still have to wear it on the first day of school.
Who else got into vj?

Went to yunie's yesterday and unfortunately, we didn't blow up her kitchen. She said she had an oven, but it wasn't microwave, so sher went to the petrol kiosk nearby and borrowed their oven while ben, yunie and I tried to very unsuccessfully conjour up a caramel sauce that we were supposed to drizzle on the plain popped popcorn that sher went all the way to the petrol kiosk to pop.
It was great fun, wasn't it! Except for the fact that her kitchen didn't get blown up.
Anyway, Singapore is really really soooo small. I met shi lin on the train when I was going to meet ben at marina square, and michelle on the way back home on bus 15. well well well.
Sharon tagged me in a note that was named "I was forced to do so..."
and in this note, I was supposed to list 20 random things about myself, and I thought, since I have the time, why not? =D but I'm not going to list it on facebook, but I'll be putting it here instead=)
- I want a new piano, and I don't mind if it's second hand.
- I think white's a nice colour, but then, my favourite colour for things changes depending on what it is and my mood at that point of time.
- I don't have a favourite song.
- Some people think they are perfect, but I wish sometimes I can just tell the truth to your face, but you're so defensive of yourself that you just can't bring yourself to accept criticism about yourself.
- I hate hypocrites.
- I am sorry that I don't always keep my promises, but then, so do you.
- I wish that people would understand that different people have different expectations of themselves, so they should not judge me by theirs.
- I wish the world can be a more understanding place to live in.
- I love God and Jesus Christ for helping me in my dark moments.
- I prefer sitting cross-legged on the floor than in a chair, crossing my legs beneath the table.
- When I see or hear broken english, I can't help it but to correct you.
- I am a perfectionist. sometimes.
- I might look happy all the time, but you don't know what's inside.
- I want to have more money.
- I want at least a true friend who understands me and shares the same interest so we can play duets together.
- I just want to be accepted for who I am.
- I wish that people can be more polite in train stations and allow passengers to first alight.
- I stretch my legs and spine every night and pray that I grow taller.
- I blue-tack birthday cards I receive to my cupboard.
- I used to mix up the words cupboard and cardboard when I thought war was pronounced wah.
That's all for today! =) byeez.

I went to far east yesterday to get cny clothes with jia min and guessed who I saw? A bunch of tk girls. =_=". Really, Singapore is SO small.
List of people I saw:
Amelia
Twins
Weidi
Rav and her friends
Vanessa
Liting
Zhi jun
One other tk girl, I don't know her name
Serene (senior from chinese dance)
The world is so small man...
Anyway, I managed to get some clothes, thanks to jia min, for I'm super indecisive when it comes to buying things. I got a vest, a shirt and a piece of outfit that I don't know how to describe. If fate deem it to be, you will get to see me in it =D
I blew $63.50 yesterday, with the additional 3.5 on fried mars bars =D so nice! You should go try it too if you haven't.
Gosh, I feel so fat. later I'm going to yunie's to pop popcorn and have a movie marathon. haha. popcorn and fried mars bars. oh dear..
It's okay! I have begun to resume my nightly routine of 20 push-ups and 30 sit-ups. Actually I stopped doing push-ups because I wanted my arms to look less muscular, but I still continued with sit-ups all along for the sake of vanity that demanded a flat stomach =)
I will be going off to piano practise very soon. Been practising piano so much that my right foot hurts a little from the pedalling. And my fingers feel a little tired. After all, it's the first time I practised so much and furthermore on a daily basis. The good thing is, now they feel so accustomed to the piano, i don't have to start off with scales to warm my fingers up any longer =)
I was talking to jia min yesterday, and she told me she was giving tution too. The outrageous thing was that her rate was $15 per hour and mine was only $7! Her pupil is in primary 6 this year, but mine's in primary 5! Man, I feel so cheated. But I WILL INCREASE MY RATE NEXT YEAR, aye, THAT I WILL! How much should I charge? $10 an hour?
*back to my beloved piano
btw, if you feel rich and decide to make a contribution to YQ's buying a new piano fund, please approach me for assistance=) (wouldn't it be good if people gave $ for birthday presents instead?)

Monday! The beginning of a whole last slacking week! Not much slacking anyway, for me, that is.
I have promised my teacher to really practise to make up for the past few weeks of over-slacking. I practised the whole morning and afternoon yessterday but I only managed to touch on so little things. I HAVE BEEN WASTING MY HOLIDAYS! And now when it's coming to an end then I realise my folly. ARGH.
It's so fun to talk to ben with victorian times' english! haha.=)
Anyway, back to my main point. I'm still not sure if I am going to take music as a career, as my passion for science is similarly strong as it is for music presently, and my teacher said if I wanted to take grade 8 next year I must work hard now. I understand that fact perfectly well, and her disappointment in me has given me motivation to stick with practice, even though IT'S SO TIRING TO PRACTISE.
Ben has given up talking to me. What a disappointment. I thought she would be able to withstand my craziness a bit longer. Anyway.
Wow. 15 min has passed while I just searched for nice doable quizzes.
And in the end, I'm giving up=)
Going to play some games until the clock strikes 10 then I'm going to practise piano=)

WHEE! It's another one week gone by!
The next week is our last slacking week like forever, unless you count in the fact that we have to wait for two more years to enjoy simply slacking and doing nothing because you don't have anything to do.
I started tution classes (not for myself, but tutoring others) on tues. My tutee was a nice, polite girl named Pei Yan. I hope she stays this way forever so I won't have to get upset at her and end up with (too much) wrinkles scattered over my face when I'm old and toothless. For some reason or another, she seems frightened of me. A little anyway. Cos when I edged my chair nearer to hers because she was seated too far away, she MOVED away from me. Gosh. Do I look so scary? Or maybe I have a threatening aura around me. =D That's cool. =D=DDD
I was watching Iijimae last night and I suddenly noticed this itchy blister on my pinkie. It was located in such a weird area. Why would my PINKIE have a blister? hmmm. Furthermore, it was placed at the spot between my last and 4th finger, at the bottom where the two fingers join up and meet the palm.
I just burst it after breakfast just now. The liquid was white first, but now it's yellow. Am I disgusting you? Then maybe I shouldn't go on =D
I just took a quiz at quizilla, and the quiz was named What Does Your Handwriting say about you. I am a FRIENDLY PERSON! =DD
I wonder how long we'll have to take before we get the chance to do quizzes because we're bored. well, two years is the max anyway. My phone is chipping. Lousy quality, cheat my money!

Today was Judgement Day.
I was tingling all the way from my head to my very toes. I woke up at 7 and couldn't get back to sleep. I completed my last of the farewell cards and made my way to gran's. I couldn't manage to eat breakfast, and I didn't feel hungry anyway.
It was sentimental for me, the process of getting ready to get to school. It was the ever last time that I would put on my uniform, my badge, my nametag...wearing my tkg socks and white school shoes for the last time...
Walking to school for the last time..gathered in the hall with the whole 2008 sec 4 cohort for the last time..
I was feeling anxious and nervous all the way, listening to all those speeches, cheering for our cohort, feeling proud of everyone, for doing their best so that we could have the best results in 11 years, most probably. =)
I was feeling so faint, breathless...my fingers felt numb, like there wasn't enough blood in my system to go around. Finally, the time came. I signed the necessary docs so as to acknowledge receipt of the things I have received. I made my way back where my junior was waiting for me and at the same time, making sure that no one came to stomp on my bag..
I looked at my results first. I was so relieved that my english was an A1, but bitterly disappointed by my B3 for combined humanities. My hands were shaking so hard that I couldn't tear the letter open, so my junior did it for me. I saw my L1R5, my junior exclaimed over my results and said she hoped to do as well as I did.
However, I wasn't satisfied. I had hoped to do better. My results are alright, I suppose, my family members are fine with it, but there is just this perfectionist side of me that can't stop mourning over my results.
I am attending tj's openhouse tomorrow. I still can't decide where to go. My mind was set on tj, but now I am having second thoughts. Vj has more scholarship opportunities but tj's music programme is better.
sigh.
dunno la.

Had a sleepover at fish's earlier this week. It was really the first time I slept at 3 plus. haha. I'm not nocturnal like you guys! Pics on facebook.
Results are coming out on monday! I feel restless and nervous. Don't everyone? Sigh. I really hope to get the results that I want to. What if I can't even get into jc? I'm so worried.
We're meeting in school tomorrow for lunch. It'll be sentimental for me, as it will be the last ever time to eat in school in tk uniform with my bunch of crazy friends. I'll miss all of you dearly!

Hey everyone! It's 1st Jan 2009, the first day of the new year! (duh) haha.With the arrival of 2009 comes new year resolutions. Thus, my ones will be:- To study hard and be in at least the top five in class
- To excel in piano
- To learn another musical instrument
- To earn more money and save them up for my music lessons
- Always be optimistic
- Take things in my stride
- Revise my lessons every night....
- Keep an accounting book
- Use my organiser for the whole year and not only for the first few months
- Eat lesser and lose weight!
With the limited strength the we humans have and the imperfections that we own, it is doubtful that I can fulfill all my new year resolutions, however, I shall strive hard to accomplish most of them!
The new year brings along with it many different challenges and surprises. It shall also be the time where everything we do affects our future. It is the time where we have to make decisions that will leave an impact in our lives.
Regardless of what happens, it is important not to leave any regrets behind. Make choices, stick with it, and be responsible for what you have chosen.
We remember the times we have had, we have cried together, we have made friends, we have lost some, but all in all, 2008 was one of my best years ever, even with the horrible Os, headaches, heartaches, and tears.
It is however, time to move on to embrace a different life, in jc, in poly, or anywhere else, may everyone find happiness and satisfaction in all that you strive to achieve!
