While I may have gotten into the internship programme, other things weren't that pleasant. I had to drop Econs to H1 because apparently my tutors weren't too cool about letting me continue with four H2s. Teaches you why you shouldn't say you love your math teacher before anything actually happens. Lol. Felt so bummed out for one whole day. But told myself that maybe this was for the better. I wasn't counting on a scholarship anyway, so having four H2s isn't really a must. Thanks Ah Cat and Pris for helping me with amendment of the appeal and withdrawal form, and zooming around the school to look for my CT. And to Mrs Beetsma too, for being so understanding, for answering all my questions, and for walking in and out of the staff room like 5 times because I was troubling her with my appeal. Used to think that she was one strict teacher who belonged to the old-school of thoughts, who can't tolerate even a single squeak at the assembly ground, who keeps picking on me because I talk during assembly. But I was so wrong. Honestly, I couldn't help but felt that she had this motherly feel to her. Haha. What I'm trying to say is that, she's one nice teacher. Through this episode, those people whom I didn't like initially didn't seem so bad afterall. Like, I used to find this particular guy very irritating, but I no longer do now.

Oh, there was the WR from hell too. The day before the submission, my group came over to my house to camp until nearly 10pm. We were doing last-minute editting. Sucks. I never want to go through that again. It's like we were all racing against time to get to the binding shop before 10. Then halfway through printing, my printer ran out of ink. Ho seh liao! Luckily, it was only 4 pages which got affected. Then got my dad to fetch us to White Sands, but the shop closed already. Then I got the idea of going to school late the next day so that I can bind at the shop opposite our school. It was good thing that the binding shop closed before we reached, because, after that I got home and realised that we forgot to print the content page. -.- See, that's why I always believe that things happen for a reason. Certain things that seems bad on the outside may actually be a blessing in disguise. And so, the next day, I didn't go to school at the normal time, Pris was late too, something which I was thankful for. Haha. So we sat at the hawker centre trying to organise the pages and vetting through over and over again. Then, this PE teacher walked past, probably to get breakfast or something, scared the shit out of me. Because you see, the first period was supposed to be PE. But Pris assured me that the teacher is very nice, and he will just walk past pretending that he didn't see us. True enough, he didn't.

Took off my braces last week, like finally, but my teeth doesn't look anything like those actresses or actors you see in Korean dramas with nice straight white teeth. I'm beginning to think that braces are just things that suck money out of people's pockets. Got my retainers today and was told to wear them 24/7 except when I'm eating or brushing my teeth. I'm still adapting to speaking clearly with retainers on. So people, if you can't make out what I'm saying, please be more understanding and don't scream into my face or call me some mean names. =)

I got into OGL! I thought I screwed up the interview real badly. The guy beside me was so enthu that I was so sure he's definitely in. I don't know his name, shall see whether he'll be at the briefing tomorrow although I'm very sure he will be. Confirm, 100%, guarantee plus CHOP! Haha.

Gotta go tidy up my I&R! Bye!

OP rehearsal yesterday was alright. Was alittle nervous despite having rehearsed in front of the group for many times, stumbled alittle, but other than that, things were okay. And someone commented that I have a nice voice. For all the 17 years of my life, it's the first time I've been complimented on my voice. Thanks! Haha. Oh, did I mentioned that my group's gonna be moderated? AAAHHH!!! I don't win at 4D or Toto, but I'm that lucky to get picked for moderation. -.- You tell me what is this?!?!

TIP interview was good. The teacher made the atmosphere feel more like a group talk than an interview. Everyone just said whatever they have in mind and everyone had time to think of what they want to say, like if you weren't ready with an answer, you wouldn't raise up your hand until you thought of one. So there was no nervousness and no the-teacher's-staring-and-waiting-for-you-to-answer-so-quick-answer feeling, that's the kind of interview I like. =)

Went to MJC's open house yesterday after school with Pris. I wanted to go look for Tracy, but turned out Pris was also going there to look for her friend so we went together, which was a relief because I had no idea how to get to MJC.

Finished reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini this morning. A heartwrenching story. Honestly, while reading, I was so shocked by the degree of gender inequality in Afghanistan. I never knew it was so bad that women actually suffer under it. A pretty good read, I recommend anyone who wants to read a good book to go for this.

Finished watching Galileo too! I want Yukawa Sensei to be my Chemistry teacher! Haha! That's so impossible but Fukuyama Masaharu was so smart and charismatic in there! Okay, now that I'm done with Galileo, it'll either be Golden Bride or Three Dads One Mum next. Bye, off to watch more dramas! ^^
