Suddenly the stars seem to look brighter

I just came home from the doctor's. I'm still having a flu and a sore throat. Ate this super drowsy cough medicine-I'm already sleepy! In case i don't want to go to school tomorrow, i have a M.C. on standby. Hehes :X

It still means that i won't be studying much today ):

But there's so little time left!

And by the way i also got back some of my Prelim results.

Chemistry 60% B4
Physics 50.4% C6
A maths 61.9% B4
Combined Humanities (History) 68% B3

I passed physics! AHAHHA. Actually its nothing much, i failed paper two. But passed the MCQs with a 24/40

This time, i improved my A maths, thanks to Jay. Haha. But the rest dropped one grade.

According to Mdm Juliana, i passed Biology too :D

I also heard from a source that for english, the highest is a B4 so far. There goes my hope of getting an A2. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

And i've decided to start doing the chemistry papers i was supposed to be practising on.

I believe there's still time left for improving myself. I want to get good grades to get into the course of my choice, i mean, who doesn't want that?

But sadly, the competition's getting tougher. I can't study the way i used to-that is by doing last minute revisions. That is a total No-no now.

I realised that studying is a stupid excuse for not blogging, just like it is a stupid excuse when you want to break up with someone, don't you think? At least, i'm able to vent some of my frustrations here, sad thing is its public too :)

33 more days to you know what! AHHHHHHHHHH~

The winds are blowing in wrong directions

First, does it mean when i don't mention something in my blog, means i'm not going to do it? But then again, one must think, a blog is considered public. Would i post my deepest thoughts here? Or put up situations that should only be kept within the family? You don't get it, do you?

Oh well, let's just put things this way: Girls like to make the simple matters more complicated.

Go away, you stalker!

Okay, now back to reality.

Yesterday, i went to the family chalet, yes, with flu. The chalet's at NSRCC (National Service Resort & Country Club) and we were supposed to be celebrating Anneke's and Ryan's birthday, they are my twin cousins by the way :)

I also went cycling for 2 whole hours, with a rented bike and we cycled to East Coast Park, which is just a short distance. Now my butt hurts :(

Then in the night, we bbq-ed, and my flu got worst, i couldn't breathe properly, my nose was blocked. Its like, GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! The feeling's really bad you know.

And so, i went home in the night, and slept alone in the room, with lights on the entire night.

When i woke up this morning, i am still feeling terrible, sneezing almost all the time and coughing out phelgm. YUCK! So i didn't go to church today.

Anyway, here are some pictures.


Here they are :)


This is Anneke.


And this is Ryan.


This is when we were blowing those soap bubbles.

And i did this too ^^

And that sky grew cotton clouds

YYAYAYYYAY!

My Prelims are finally over!!!!! But, it only means i'm moving one step closer to O Levels.

Today i woke up at 4am, like i did for this whole entire week to finish memorising these good chinese paragraphs supposingly to make your essay stand out from the rest.

And went back to sleep soon and guess what, i woke up with a stomache, like WTHH!

I don't know what i ate wrong, or maybe its because i only had a cup of hot chocolate as breakfast. And i started to feel unwell right after leaving my house for school.

At school and during the first chinese paper, the letter writing component was badly done for me, but i managed to chunk in what i memorised into the newspaper report component thingy. And i wrote 6 sides of the paper which is also equivalent to 3 pieces of paper, full length okay! Haha. This is my first time writing so much, i just hope i don't write anything out of point.

And then came disaster, i felt very lethargic during the second paper and felt a little giddy at first. Plus, i am having a cold. So practically, i was "anyhow doing the questions". Its like putting down answers without thinking at all. For the comprehension part, i was copying whole paragraphs as answers. I totally had no mood to do, no mood to check, and my head started to hurt.

I finished the whole paper in an hour, without checking at all. And i just slept until the end of it.

In conclusion, i don't know whether i can do well this time. I'm still feeling giddy at this moment, but i'm not going to sleep. I already drunk some medicine, and i'll be fine. C'mon! Its the end of Prelims! I should enjoy a little right? :)

Nevermind, there's always room for improvement.

I also got news that 30% of the girls failed the physics MCQ. All the boys passed. Argh, i'm a little paranoid.

I shall have 10% of hope of passing.

And i really (x10000000000000..) hope i get well quick. I'm having a family chalet tomorrow. I don't want to miss out on the fun!

It totally sucks when people are having fun and eating all the good stuff when you can't do anything they're doing! It really does.

Mum went back to Jakarta yesterday too, despite the earthquakes and tremors. I know she'll be fine, and she'll be back on the 5th of October. Then maybe i can get my dress for Prom Night, which date has been changed to the 21st of November, and i've decided to get it before O Levels, haha! I think i'll get a blue dress :D

{I see a blue sky}

Happy Birthday to Jun Hao! :)

Again, i'm back from school after today's exams.

And again, todays papers sucked! I didn't really study for E maths, instead i studied only a little for Biology. And that "a little" got me 10 marks today :D

I just hope tomorrow isn't that sucky. I'm having Chemistry paper 1 and Biology paper 2 tomorrow. For those not re-taking chinese, tomorrow's their last paper. Argh! I'm jealous can.


Like i said, i'll take a picture of the dog ^^

{Look around, the world's changing}

Yesterday and today was quite tiring! And the papers yesterday and today were also on the same subject. How boring can things get! *rolls eyes*

Anyway i realised yesterday that for Physics, Mrs Lim took the questions mostly from other school's papers which she told us to practice on... And so i took a gamble last night, not to study for paper two and instead browse the school papers and guess what?!

2 of the exact questions that i memorised the answers from which i did for fun, actually came out! I was thinking: What the hell lor... But its good isn't it? At least i'm guaranteed of 9 marks, i know thats pathetic but heck!

And as for A maths, the format for was also the same for the 2006 o level paper and so i went to learn how to do the questions from paper 2 that year, and a few of the same stuff came out. You know, its actually the first time i've done most of the questions in the paper! This time i know i've done my really best! :D

Well enough of that. I still have Biology paper 2 and E maths paper 2 tomorrow to study for. Boo.

Hmmm, i guess i haven't blogged that my family had adopted a new dog yeah? Its actually from mum's friend, she couldn't take care of it so mum decided to take it in. Her name's Cessy and i find she's really obedient, much to my surprise.

At first i hated the idea of having a dog, but i guess its okay now.

And its so cute! As long as i have a treat in my hand, she would extend her right paw for a handshake, then i'll give the treat to her. Haha, my sisters and cousins taught this trick, its very cute. If i could capture it i'll show it to you! (She's camera shy) x3

The prelims are coming to an end this week too, and i have a family chalet to go to on Saturday, like woah! The timing's really spot on!

However i still have O levels to work towards, i'm currently very motivated to be in a study mood while eating too! Hehe.

40 more days to you-know-what! ;)

{Studying like there's no tomorrow}

Anyway i know, i've not been blogging very much. Heh.

From last friday for almost everyday, a couple of friends and i have been studying and mugging our butts off.

Actually not. Half the time we were studying and the other eating or playing away. I mean its really fun. At least better than studying at home where there's so many temptations. And i'll name one which is the computer and the sound of my sisters' laughters while watching the television.

And that causes me to NOT study at all. So yeah, i decided to go out to study.

I'm excited for this sunday! Mum's taking the whole family out to eat this Japanese Cuisine buffet! Its really delicious you know. I'll take some pictures if i can, and show you guys how yummy and mouth-watering the food is :)

Now i have a craving for Indonesian food :( Which is bad, cos' i can't go back there so soon. Because mum said that during the holidays, i have to choose between Indonesia/Bangkok/New Zealand to go for a trip.

I'll tell you something too. I've scored a 36/50 for history prelims, which is unexpected actually. The night before that exam itself, many people were bombarding Qiu Yan with calls on which chapter to study because we weren't sure of it ourselves, leaving us with little time to study.

And to tell you the truth, i just kept on reading the whole topic i've chosen over and over again, without actually memorising it so for one of the essays there's this whole paragraph that is deemed irrelevant because of the crap i wrote. Mind you, that paragraph is half of the paper :(

But i should be happy with this marks instead of complaining. And i will.

I shall be off, to study with the group! :)
