Well, I really shouldn't be doing this, but can't help it, writing is such a great way of relieving stress (I understand that doesn't apply to everyone) ;).
Well, I've been telling myself that I been hard at work at Chinese the whole day. Well, actual fact is, I have studied, about half of what I would have done had I been in school.
Saturday mornings are for sleeping late to catch up on sleep lost in the week, so that was exactly what I did. Then, time for the papers and breakfast. After that, I was good, I studied until it was time to go for piano.
I had a good afternoon, an arty afternoon. I went up to Raffles City, and stepped on wonderful art; then I went down to orchard and spent a blissful time in the world of books "Borders". That was fun. All too soon, it was time to go (I feel like I'm writing a compo); my wonderful conscious was telling me that I had better go home and continue studying (truth is I was getting rather bored too) .
So, off to buy dinner, then home to eat dinner. On came the usual dinner entertainment: a movie. That was one and a half hours gone. Then, I brought all my stuff up, magazines included. So you can guess my activities after that. Magazine in the midst of studying, what an effective study method.
After I had finished the mag, I actually got down to studying, that was until now. I must say I've accomplished quite a bit, so well, after this, I'm gonna finish up. Tomorrow will be practice paper over and over.
Wish me luck.

The smell of Christmas is faint in the air.
Now before you think me crazy, let me prove my sanity, continue reading, (if you please).
And if you are wondering about my perculiar style of writing, it is because I am in the midst of reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte; a book which had long been elusive of my attention. But I now sit down with it in my hands, my eyes feasted upon it, and am quite contented and attracted to the story.
Let me now continue to tell you about the smell of Christmas. You smell the first tinch of Christmas once the rains come. You know recognise it instinctively. You can't describe it, but you know definitely that it is the smell of Christmas. You start thinking of past Christmas, the Christmas mood comes naturally to you. You can't wait for the holidays to start, that you can start making preparations for the season. It lifts your spirits, whatever woes you have are gone with the wind.
Which is why right now, I am pushing back Chinese and reclining in my chair in the comforts of Jane Eyre. It is a moment of bliss.
Well, I will continue my revision of Chinese, but not before the close of a chapter.

Hi, I've not been very regular, I know, so here are my excuses:
1) I've been trying to get myself to study for O's chinese.
2) I can't be bothered to type/write.
3) Everytime I think of something I want to announce, it isn't convenient to log on.
Ok, thats it, so I'll assume I'm forgiven.
Exams, over, results out, let me lament about my 10 subjects. After getting music results, and having taken a long long time about it, T(m) gave me the idea that he thought I had a pretty good chance of keeping my subjects. Well, he's always so optimistic, so I don't know why I still believed him, maybe cause I want to. We went to see MP right then, well, actually after like half and hour. He was talking to Soon. Well, actually, we concluded that they were gossiping. When @ last he had time for us, we talked. H was easy, she had decided to drop music long ago. For me well...it took some nice talk on T(m)'s part, giving me an A chop for music, and some convincing on my part that I could do well for L1R5 and my other subjects weren't that bad.
So guess what? We went to see the moon. Ha, I saw we put him in the spot when he saw that I didn't have any obvious subjects to drop, cause they are either subjects I'm doing well for or are essential. In the end, I had to get statements from chers before they decide that they will fight my case for me.
From what I heard from T(m), I didn't get many good reviews...My fingers are crossed, keep yours so too.

Hi people, *esults a*e out, how did I do? You'll see. *ight now, I'm watching my fi*st movie with the Olsen twins, they look about 12, something about the Bahamas. Just went with H to P*illante, the new st*ings stoe*e 50 steps away. The guy in the*e was so nice, ve*y hospitable, answe*ed all questions ve*y nicely and even gave us a magnet violin, that kind that blinks when you tu*n a knob. I guess it was pa*tly because we we*e the only customee*s, but mainly because we we*e good custome*s ;), yea, inte*ested custome*s. Yep, so now we @ my place, watching the Olsen twins, I'm typing this, she's *eading 17. How cool can afte* exams get?
Well, this has to come soone* o* late*. He*e goes: Physics, B3, Chem, A1, Combined humans, B4, Chinese, C5. I'm hoping fo* a B3 fo* English, i dd badly fo* comp*e don't ask me why! Its quite dumb taking compulso*y subjects like SS and elective somehing. Why can't students sta*t to specialise in Seconda*y school? If we have to lea*n the histo*y of Singapo*e, why can't it be a non examinable subject? The way it is now,we have ve*y limited choices fo* ou* compulso*y one Humanities! Thats *idiculous.
ASTC? T*y ACTS.
Well, I'm bo*ed now, stay tuned

Ok, Friday, no school! Naturally, not one to waste a day, I went out. With C, to Orchard, Cineleisue, to break the law.
On the MT, we had fun playing with the trains, we got off @ orchard and took the train back to somerset. That was fun, we an across the platform to catch the train. Then came the long flight of escalators up to the cineplex. We would have gone to Lido, that place is so much cooler, only, fo some weird reason, they didn't show exorcist.
Oh, I must mention we saw a fishball rolling about in the MT station on ou way out. That was a nice encounter. Unfortunately, we weren't really into fishballs, though we were hungry!
Anyway, we patiently queued fo eternity and bought ou tickets fo exorcist without hassle. Down we went to buy our lunch from BK to sneak into the theater. Up we went again to queue for another eternity fo popcron. And in we went into the theater.
The advertisments weren't that bad, believe it or not, we only sat through advertisments fo 15 minutes and they were actually entertaining.
(ok I'm really ti*ed of cutting and pasting the lette* that is missing on my keyboa*d, its kaputt, so f*om now on, all you a*e going to see in place of it is "*")
The movie was*eally good. I had expected a pu*e ho**o* movie, but it actually p*oved to have a lot of depth. The*e was many unde*lying messages. Also, what makes movies sca*y is the way the came*a shifts and the music, take those away, and you'll totally have no shocks o* fea*s.
Also, its NC because of violence, but I believe mainly because of the *eligious implications. Its totally about faith in God to expel demons. Well, I guess this movie actually b*ings me close* to God too, in a way. It also spa*ked some question, whe*e did Lucife* fall when he fell f*om heaven? A*e the*e still people "touched" by the devil nowadays? Does exo*cism still take place? These would be inte*esting to find out.
Afte* the movie, we went into window shopping galo*e fo* about 2 hou*s, then I actually bought something in This Fashion, and we both bought something @ 7-11, we we*e so thi*sty. As I've been saying, the sun doesn't know its ve*y hot.

WooHoo!!! Exams are over!!! So much for all the 'tired of mugging', its over now. Well, until next year, but till then, its 'a world of laughter a world of FUN!!!' It started last Thursday, its over today. Its been a long long week of mugging, despreado and well...exams. Sucks to exams. I care not for you now.
Right now, its time to plan stuff for the hols. BBQs, plenty of them and chalets. Lets see, theres class, P6, music class, last year's class..that gives me at least 4, and maybe there'll be Christmas bbq too! How cool can it get...(and maybe boring???) Time to think of things to entertain me with ppl.
Heres the tentative list:
4 BBQs (including 1 chalet)
@ least 3 movies
ice-skating
shopping
READ
play/practice piano (I want a distinction next year)
oh, in case you don't know yet, I got a merit for my grade 7 piano exam, 2 marks short of distinction, how much more can it stink? But actually, I'm quite happy with myself since I expected to fail. I got very nice remarks too :)
go out with P sch. friends
go out with sec. sch friends
go out with Deutschland friends (Deutschland is Germany in German; you learnt a new word today)
go out with fish
christmas shopping
maybe go to HK
maybe find a job (i'll so need the extra $$$)
So thats it for now...oh yes!
syf rehearsals
Yup, my holiday plans. Thats like week away, but its always to nice to plan. But before that, theres the sec 3 camp. I'm looking forward to the fine dining course as boring as it may sound.
See you

I'm tired of studying and slogging and mugging, so here I am, telling you about the miserable days of exams.
Those dreaded things began last Thursday, last Saturday to be exact, but those were compo papers which nobody cares about. Mugging began last Wednesday. Why so late? Because before that, days were filled that tests and endless tests. Study, for test, you forget about exams. But then, it also counts, everything doesn't seem so allien when you do start revising for exams. Papers were fine, well...I could do them, but whether I'll do well is another story.
I'm being very naughty too. I've had plenty of time to study, but I'm not using it. I'll tell myself I'll study, and I do...for half and hour. Then I'll spend the next half hour playing games (spider solitaire to be specific) and the cycle repeats itself. Well, I daresay thats only for afternoons. I get in a study mood after sunset. So thats, good. But like now, I've finished Chem. and I'll start A maths soon, but not yet. I'll take some time off to regenerate my brian cells. (thats an excuse) And I'm not doing anything about it.
Medal tally: so far, I'm confidant to get As for German and E maths
The rest..we'll just have to see.
Wish me luck

Well now, let me make a point here, Jeasee should not have been booted out!!! She's the best singer!!! I've had my bets on her to win the whole contest since the beginning!!! Some idiots like a chinese pop star wannabe shouldn't be in it. Jeasee has such a good voice and got off at such a good start.
I think part of the reason Singapore didn't vote for her is because she's Canadian and Singapore likes Singaporeans to win. Well, I hope some record company offers her a contract, I really want to hear more of her. She's real good.
Whats done done, pray you'll see Jeasee on some other stage.
Right now, keep your fingers crossed Singaporeans will be more sensible and vote for someone who can actually sing and don't look like some fashion dump/slave.
I'm for Olinda!!!!

FRIDAY!!! But the usual relief Fridays give isn't here. Why? Because theres exams tomorrow. Note the 's'. Yes, two, the usual starting papers, language compos. And heres some shocking news: I spent the night singapore idoling. Yea, I didn't study.
ARGHHHHH!!!!! I left my English file in school!!!!!! Ok, I have my complain letter format, BUT ALL MY COMPO STUFF ARE IN SCHOOL!!! No fret, my solution: go super early tomorrow and read through everything. I'm confidant and worried at the same time. Confidant because I know I can write, but what if i suddenly have writer's block, or go all off point? I can write only when I have something to write. Oh well, I have been talking to LG...so...all the best to me.
As for Chinese, I've done all I can reading through all relevant notes and knowing formats of letters. I can't do a thing more other hope for the best and do my best. I really need a lot of well wishes for this. I'll wish myself.
