Hell tired
Monday, March 30, 2009 11:06 PM
Got back part of Chem MCT today. Total screw-up. I must get like 20 marks for Structured Questions in order to scrap an E?!?! How possible is that when you get 8/20 for MCQ and 12.5/40 for essay?

Table tennis, won 4-1 against SAJC. Headed for floorball training at Valhall after that. Training from hell. Super tiring. Coach wasn't that pleased with our performance today.

I'm so tired now that I don't even feel excited about BOF episode 24 even after reading the mini-spoiler on Candice's blog nor do I want to wait for it to be released tonight. Anyway, without the subtitles, it's not that I'll understand a single thing they say. LOL. Watching it without subs is as good as not watching it at all.

Luckily for me, tomorrow's a short day and school ends at 11.40am. Then shall go studying with Ah Cat at the airport, something to look forward to. =) Not the studying, but the company. Lol.

Alright, I shall go sleep now so that I won't doze off in lessons tomorrow.
NUS Tenses
Sunday, March 29, 2009 8:45 PM
Woke up at 5.30am for NUS Tenses!!! But I only left house at like 6.30am, couldn't reach Bedok in time to take a lift from Weiling's dad. So, in the end my dad fetched me to NUS. Upon reaching, I realised I forgot to bring my blue/green jersey when I heard the girls talking about it. Panicked like shit but I think I tried to look composed enough to listen to my iphone. Lol. Was deciding whether to call Coach to tell him or give him a 'surprise' when he reached. Then I decided against giving him a heart attack at the last minute, because I might suffer worse when he recovers. Lol. I took like a minute to gather enough courage to press 'Call' and my voice was shaking throughout. At the rate I was stuttering, I was surprised that Coach understood what I was talking about. Will do the punishment tomorrow. I can't believe what a scatterbrain I am. How in the world did I forget to bring jerseys for competitions? And thanks girls for helping me do what you all did, really appreciate that very much and I hope no one gets offended by it. =)

Anyway NUS Tenses was alright, but quoting Pinn Xian, 'it's called Tenses for a reason.' Make us tensed up only. Haha. We need to keep it up and do better! ^^

After Tenses ended, headed to Plaza Sing for dinner with family before heading home. Alright, I'm shall go watch BOF Special now. Can't wait for episode 24 tomorrow and episode 25 on tuesday! =D  But so sad it's ending soon. =(
MCTs are over!
Friday, March 27, 2009 11:53 AM
Woohoo! MCTs are over! Gone are the days where I spent 10 hours studying(alright, I was trying to hug buddha's leg, lol). I seriously spent that much time studying. 2pm-12midnight for Econs, 10pm-3am for Bio, 3pm-1am for Chem, 2pm-12midnight for Maths. Okay, I didn't spent that as much time on Bio as I did for other subjects because one, it was my birthday that day and I only got home at 10pm, and two, I thought the only topics tested was Biological Molecules, Cell Nuclear Division, Cancer, DNA & Genomics and Application Syllabus. I had absolutely no idea that Cell Structure, Enzymes, Respiration was coming out and didn't study for them. Die, because there were one structure question worth 20 marks each for each topic. 3x20=60marks GONE!!!

Anyway, birthday was last Monday. But it didn't feel like one because of MCTs. I couldn't even eat my dinner without having to worry whether I have enough time to complete studying for Bio once I reach home. But thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, really did make my day feel more like a birthday! Thanks Kristy, Ah Cat, Mian Mian, Weiling, Andrea, Jun Rong, Tracy, Yu Jing, Naomi, Cheng Nee, Zhiying, Hweeli, Zhao Peng, Jie Hui, Isaac (Chong), Guo Rong, Faustina, Priscilia, Wen Hui, Hui Ting, Xinyi, Qi Te, Jolene, Jun Yang, Ben Tan, Sendy, Hui Wen, Seow Koon, Johannes, Pinn Xian, Shawn, Phildia, Michelle (Aw), Ju Yee, Ying Qi, Fong Zhi, Chloe, Bernard, Jasmine, Sean, Yingiet, Shanmin and Teresa. Tell me if I left out your name. A really BIG THANK YOU to you guys! ^^ And I'm now 18!!! Legal! Zhiying welcomed me to Club18 which is really just me and her only. LOL. Next to join will be Tracy!

Yesterday, after MCTs ended, went to Cineleisure with Ah Cat to have lunch at Pastamania and watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Super funny, and touching too. Then I think we walked all the way to Far East. This shop selling canvas shoes was having a pre-renovation sale. Super cheap! A pair of converses for $20 or $30, depending on the model. Think I'll be going back there with my mom this weekend to get a pair for myself. After Far East, Ah Cat and I went to Ngee Ann City where she got the art materials to help her sis make photoframes.

***
Family outing at Sentosa last Saturday and stayed there for a night. It was a fun outing, and when we return to the hotel room to retire for the night, I watched Boys Over Flowers until 3am. And woke up in the morning to watch again. Lol. I'm really addicted to BOF.

Photos: (Sorry for the many self-shots because after my sis and I went around the island, we went back to the hotel room to slack and I was bored waiting for my parents to bring down my laptop from home so that I can watch my BOF. Haha.)










More photos soon when I get the photos of the girls' celebration for me last week from Kristy! For now, I shall go back to watching BOF before I head for floorball training in the afternoon. There'll be floorball training for 4 days in a row and finally table tennis A Div starts on Monday. First match's against SA, 加油! =D
On hiatus

Won't be blogging until after MCTs because any free time, if there's any at all from all that mugging, will be spent on watching dramas.

Haha, seeya after MCTs! ^^

Regret & disappointment
Sunday, March 08, 2009 9:11 PM
So we drew the table tennis friendly against AHS B Div yesterday, we lost to the C Div which was pretty expected because they had 5 China players there. But I wasn't unhappy because we lost to their C Div, I was unhappy because of the way the friendly was carried out. There wasn't any proper organization on our part. I may have reached there late and thus was unable to help out, but I was expecting that we would have the friendly carried out in a manner identical to or at least close to that of the competition. The teacher-in-charge didn't even put one of the players down to play and just assumed that she would have won the match if she played, all just because she's good. And I didn't even know about it until the teacher said it at the debrief. I was like 'WHAT!?!?!?', I may have sounded loud and rude, but honestly, I was angry.  

I mean, do you really do that in a competition? You might as well say that we don't even need to participate in the nationals because we are better than all other schools(I'm just making an analogy, not saying that it's true). Like what my previous coach always says, the ball is round, you never know for sure who will be the winner. So who were we to decide that we would win? I felt kinda bad towards AHS, because they came all the way down to have a friendly with us on a Saturday, and they were made to give us that one point without even having the chance to fight for it. Darn.

Seeing the AHS team and Coach Lin again just made me realised how much I missed the AHS team. The team spirit and everything. Like how everyone is always laughing together, sweating it out together. Most importantly, I had a very good and fair coach who gave me a chance even though I could barely hold the bat correctly then. Without him, I probably wouldn't be in TJ now.

Someone asked me recently if I had regretted joining TJ table tennis. I nodded my head. I don't like a coach who sees only a jewel in the whole team when in fact, there are alot more others who just needs alittle more polishing. I don't like a teacher-in-charge who tried to take charge of every little thing. I don't like someone being so indecisive and having no self-confidence. What you said at the interview a year ago about being more confident in yourself, I daresay you haven't achieve it, or should I say you didn't even put in the efforts? Honestly, I thought that position of yours would have given you the confidence but apparently not. I'm so disappointed because the person I'm seeing now is no different from the one I saw one year ago. I was so happy for you when you got what you wanted, but you know what now? If I were given the chance, I would definitely have done a better job than you did.

1 more month, I tell myself.

I'm left with only one more math tutorial to complete and it'll be tutorial-free! At least for the whole of next week. Tutorial 7's sooo difficult! I took like 2 hours to finish only 3 questions. -.-

Econs test was a disappointment. I studied so hard for it(ok, I didn't spend alot of time on it, just 1 hour plus, but I killed alot of brain cells memorising), wrote at the speed of like, 1 line per second, that my right hand felt like it was going to drop off at the end of the test, and I ended up just scraping a pass. It's so disappointing that my results always don't show my efforts. =(

Today's A Levels results-release day. It made me feel scared, seeing the seniors streaming into the school and knowing that this time next year, it'll be my turn (that's provided that I survive the As).

Went T3 with Ah Cat after school to study. Had lunch at Popeyes first before shifting to the Ah Wang cafe upstairs. The seat was so comfy that I nearly fell asleep and wasted my trip to the airport. Lol.

I want to go SMU Open House tomorrow but there's no one I can go with and there's table tennis friendly after floorball training. =( Open house, anyone?

Alright, shall go practise piano before I come back to using the Internet! Bye!
=D

Went with Ah Cat after school yesterday for lunch at macs, we were intending to study at the Bedok library. But we spent about an hour in there, and then packed up, and started walking around Bedok central. Then headed back to school for 400m HEATS. First time participating in a sports day event since primary school, and I got last, omg, malu like anything. Everyone was so fast, zoomed past me like lightning like that. 4x400m relay, aahhh, I don't wanna think about it!

***
Getting Bio SPA over and done with today, was a huge relief to me. Was so stressed out from 11pm yesterday night, cos I only started studying for it then, haha, which explains the huge stress.

School today went by in a blur. Lunch was at Blackboard because Ah Cat and I got sick of the food opposite. And I ended going late for Mass Civics. Very late. But it didn't really matter since there was no attendance-taking, and I just plopped down on the audi stairs as the seats were all occupied. The skit for Civics was mother funny, it was one mass civics which I didn't sleep through. Their acting was superb though the plot was kinda forced. After Civics was contact time. Went for the NTU admission talk at LT 1 which changed my opinion of NTU for the better. Nanyang Business School looks very attractive. But so what if it does, my grades doesn't allow me to choose the university or course I want, I can only take the leftovers. =( Anyhow, I'm trying to aim for a BBA or BBM or whatever BB-something, any university will do. Not alot to ask for, right? Right. LOL.

Anyway, I got 1/25 for chem test! Probably the lowest in the whole cohort, still so proud of it. -.- I didn't know writing deductive statements could earn me marks and so, I left the whole question 2 blank. I thought I wasn't that smart to get the structures of X and Y. But don't know why I was so smart to scribble some 'not aldehyde or ketone', 'aldehyde or secondary alcohol', 'carboxylic acid' and blah on my question paper. Arghhh, 气死我了! And most of them turned out to be correct. Damn, so wasted. These are the times I feel like kicking myself in the butt. On a happier note, I passed my bio test!!! Omg, I thought I was going to flunk it badly because I didn't know how to do a 12-mark question and to make matter worse, I suddenly had a mental block, and couldn't remember the electron transport chain in chloroplasts and mitochondria, I mixed both of them up and started writing nonsense. Thank god my nonsense made sense, I only got half mark deducted off the 6 marks for another nonsense I didn't write. I would say I owed it to luck. =P

Floorball training today was fun and not so tiring. Coach couldn't be present but we still followed according to the training routine. Used Lenny's stick for like, more than half of the training. I swear the stick's damn good! You can do slapshots and contact shots, things that I've been struggling with, without much difficulty. Too bad there's currently no stocks for it or else, I would want to get it.

Wanted to complete some of tutorials when I reach home from training, but I'm having this major headache which makes me feel like puking anytime. Such a pain in the ass. No, in the head I mean.

Alright, shall go sleep soon since I'm not doing anything productive. Goodnight!
