Haha I feel like being kaypoh and ask my primary school friends which JC they are going.. But I think it would just be too weird. Considering I never did talk to them more than 3 times after primary school. So it would like.. Hey what JC/poly you going? (answer) Oh okay... *silence* D:


Last day of revision lectures! ^^ I envy Ha for not coming to school today.. haha. All the subjects! Although last day of revision lectures is not necessarily a good thing.. after all there are many more lectures to come. and also it means lessons are starting soooon! D: I've made my choice for subject combi already.. just thinking about what to put for second choice! and cca choice still bothers me :/ seriously dunno what to join poof. anyone know where the list of CCAs are?

Speaking of school.. i wanna buy a planner! it seems everyone has a really pretty one (read: sitong and mel lol) so i want one. haha. but then the shop they went to is at jurong point and amk.. so far from my house :/ oh well.

Anyway new year is over! so soon D: but anyway i was getting pretty bored of it.. still have loads of new year goodies at home. was eating pineapple tarts and prawn rolls during the afternoon while watching friends. lol. haha.. i think i keep slacking my days away. and i havent touched any math tutorials ever since i stopped at partial fractions. today we did trigo.. quite okay i guess. cos i did practice during the dec holidays with the homework that they never did and never will collect. i realised that i managed to make a roundabout to my first topic- lectures. Haha.


First day of school!
Haha met a few seniors and had a bunch of lectures - math and chem. I thought the ISYF thing was boring.. :x though the math lecture passed pretty fast and i pretty much enjoyed the chem lecture haha. this might sound a little weird but the teacher at least tried to keep the spirits of the group up (eg by saying really lame things -.-) (: We had 2 breaks today - both 1 hour and a half long, cos the ISYF thing ended 1 hour + early. After that was SMTP selection, didn't go though. Seems like there would be lectures for the rest of the week... and next week we probably only have 1 day of school cos of CNY and stuff. School seems pretty alright, though I still dont like waking up early haha. but this week should be fine, tmr starts at 11.30am haha. still thinking if i wanna do the tutorial qns for math :x


Back from chalet. Thought it was pretty fun, except for the severe lack of sleep haha. Spent alot of time playing cards, werewolf.. mahjong! yes i learned how to play mahjong wahaha.

From mel:
The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you love
4) Strike out the books you have no intention of ever reading, or books you read but didn't like.
5) Reprint this list in your own blog so we can try and track down these people who've read only 6 or less and make them read more.

PHEW for HCL results yesterday. No more Chinese in JC! woohoo (:
before the results, there was this commotion around me... (mostly from jasmine hahaha). imagine if we were actually getting O level results for all the subjects! lol. anyway i think our class did pretty well, most ppl got A2 if i'm not wrong haha.

Anyway now i'm finishing up my math papers (i know..) so that i can enjoy the rest of the week (class chalet!) before going back to school next monday -.- so far the people i asked are gonna stay for the whole/ most of the chalet.. so that's good.

okay shall go back to math now -.-


BAH.
I'm so bored! i think many ppl are also kinda feeling that way. Although im still not exactly looking forward to school.. i mean its great to meet everyone again.. but then after that it means homework, project, and more homework. argh.
---
anyway i heard that o level results will be out on monday? im kinda worried actually cos i dunno what to expect D: D:
---
i think i spend too much time on the computer for my own good.


Happy new year!
can't believe that it's 2009 already.. so fast! it's gonna be odd writing --/--/09 on my worksheets haha. okay i shan't talk about worksheets now. thanks everyone who bothered to stay up till midnight to sms me hahaha. some ppl sent me at 11.30pm.. wonder if they couldn't be bothered to wait it up?

i guess '08 has been a pretty good year...
for me, the most memorable events:
1. graces!
2. graduation (also seemed really quick)
3. graz (i was thinking of what was memorable.. then i was like..... was graz this year? suddenly i feel very detached from choir..)
funny how these memorable events all start with "g".

things i'm looking forward to next year:
1. class chalet! really looking forward to meeting all the 402 people again.. seeing how we will be split up after that :/
2. probably JC life.. hopefully it will more fun than secondary school life....?

it seems like new year's resolutions are meant to be broken.. like who actually fulfils their new year resolution? but anyway my new year resolution.. would be to
1. work hard in JC
2. meet new friends
3. keep in touch with my close friends now
and maybe run every week when i go with my parents to East Coast :/ hahaha i know that's really little (i mean running once a week) but for me.. it's enough.

anyway, may 2009 be a better year for everyone (:
