18 Sep

Perhaps it’s a little too late, but I finally found the article. It can’t be helped since I really really got to slack today (Fridays are for slacking!)

Btw, it’s the 11/12 Sep article on our school: http://www.tnp.sg/news/story/0,4136,213429,00.html

So, be proud and grateful for the Bartley ‘family’! Inspirational teachers – my PE, Chemistry etc. teachers. Boring but effective (in imparting knowledge) nonetheless teachers – my Physics, etc. teachers. For the other teachers, they’re like my family. Social Studies Teacher – the naggy old grandmother; MTL & E Maths – the cheerful (occasionally in a foul mood, but strict nonetheless) elder ‘sisters’; POA Teacher – the caring and concerned ‘godmother’; Geography – the fun and crazy ‘aunt’ etc. Thanks to all of them, and hopes they’ll do the same for us. I mean, I’m not catching up on my studies (fell sick, absent from school).

Secondly…

I finished my MTL work (composition) within 1+ hours!!!

Thirdly…

Library was fun. I’m starting to think it’s because of the presence of Samantha. She brings with her noise everywhere she goes – noise in a good way. Thank you!

Lastly…

We missed Winnie’s presence during photo taking. She ought to stop being so emotional… or easily affected. Put up a brave front, yeah?

Oh… I haven't cleared my debts yet. Oh well…

Wednesday

16 Sep

Surprised it isn’t midnight yet, but then, I’ll still be sleeping at 12. I’m going 2 tidy up my (general) file. Too messy…

Was able to complete my work except 4 a few…namely, my food and nutrition coursework. Going to do that right after my tidying fiesta.

went 4 student leaders forum…nothing interesting. a few more sessions… just endure for a few more months…

surprised sir canteen check up on his fellow facebook-ers… he should have seen the ‘I’m preoccupied with revision’ posts then.

Ok, I shall end here. I’m busy, you know… before that:

Reminders

  1. Food and Nutrition Coursework – get it done and printed out, especially Coursework B.
  2. Don’t sit on the Chinese essay…
  3. Photo taking on Friday, read up article.
  4. Help with the CCC thingy
  5. Find some songs (yuck, even though they’re not mine)

16 Sep

12 midnight… drowning in homework.

Had worst day in school (suppose T’chers are already starting the treatment they gave 2 our seniors). Got home at around 5+pm? And from then on, munch on chocolates (yes, I know but it’s not like I care. It’s just chocolate) while doing work.

Ugh… why won’t they allow me 2 drop Chinese?

I’ll look ghastly (as per se) with my lack of sleep and poor nutrition. Hmm…I’ve forgotten to take my medication again this morning. Ah, who cares?

Remaining homework 2 submerge myself in:

  1. Food & Nutrition Coursework A and B – just edit and print out.
  2. SS homework (worksheet) – just the last 2 question (essay and SBQ)
  3. MTL composition – newspaper thingy. Yuck.
  4. POA WS – by Friday. Get others’ to copy or clear all my doubts now.
  5. Revise. Revise. Revise. Need I say more?

How do I improve my mandarin? Listen to Chinese songs? Read Chinese newspapers? Practice? Hmm… should consult Winnie and her study tips.

Having a damn headache again…

Monday

14 Sep

A really really silent morning assembly. You can hear the crows’ shrill shrieks without having to strain your ears. Hence, the morning assembly is filled with crows’ noise instead of humans. That silence was broken by our favourite teacher. I’m surprised Mr. Rangen didn’t chime in his disappointment. Stupid teachers enjoy threatening us. Do they come to school just to torture us? Bunch of crazy Sadists…

Had another ‘headache and me’ sharing session during English. Surprisingly, she was on sick leave. I just hope she hadn’t caught anything from me… Though reflecting about it, that seems incorrect. I mean, there’s a time gap between her illness and mine. Unless she was on a vomiting spree at home, then I’m innocent. Did I mention that EL was interesting? First time we didn’t have to do anything! Just listen to the passage. What a nice start to the new school term…

Physics was alright. Same old, same old. Struggling to remember past formulae. By past, I meant those taught before the school holidays. In case you’re staring at me like I’m a retard, don’t be surprised. This isn’t the first time my memory decided to leave me to my own devices.

Nothing to comment during recess. But then, what can I say when I’m having a sore throat and I lost my voice? Btw, thanks to Phyllis for indulging me the hints. Thanks. :)

CME – as per se. Got my voice back but talking was a strain. To talk meant to get raked with coughs. Btw, I agree with Mr. S’s friend, he is a sadist. I mean, remember the bag over head accident? The merciless teasing? Yeah… but still, he’s a great teacher. A great teacher, and a lonely old man. Okay, perhaps not old… but then, he feels lonely talking to no one. Is it alright to suggest adopting a cat to him?

SS… crammed like crazy. Managed to, but forgotten the format. Well, just the conclusion part. No, it’s not because of carelessness, okay, fine. So I was careless… *bleah*

Can’t find anyone after school so refilled my water(even though I’ve been drinking, people still hinted that I should take care.), ate and went 4 ACT. Results for Entrepreneur not out yet… Doubt I’ll be the top 3. Like I said, presentation skills – okay. Business idea etc. – not very polished.

On the way out of school… the guard… “take care of yourself”. He meant that I look bad, and would fall ill… (it was obvious, he was empathising the whole phrase and staring, perhaps my ghastly appearance or nametag) This happened twice. I suggested to the girls beside me that I would like to go home. After a “Why?” which I don’t really get to answer(sore throat and fear of coughing in front of people), she said(more to herself than me) “Oh yeah hor… you look kinda pale.” Need I say more?

But too bad, I stayed. A good student as always… In actuality, I was just afraid of mum’s nags at me, my state of health, being a freeloader @ home blah blah blah…

Sunday

13 Sep

Even though I’m single and have never went through any heartbreaking… moments, I’m currently listening to love songs. Chinese love songs…

  • JJ Lin - 江南 jiang nan(sorry, I don’t know it’s meaning in EL)

This phrase warms my heart:

还以为殉情只是古老的传言
Thought that committing suicide together in the name of love is just an ancient tale
离愁能有多痛 痛有多浓
The sorrow of leaving each other, the pain is deep(??excuse my… attempt at translating into mandarin.)
当梦被埋在江南烟雨中
When the dream being buried in the smoky rain of river south
心碎了才懂
Only did we understand when our heart was broken.

  • Jay Chou – 将军 jiang jun(Checkmate)

Very rappy. Very nice. Hugs this!

  • Fish Cheung - 崇拜 chong bai(worship?)

Overall is very… soothing. At least till the end. But I still like it nonetheless, meaningful lyrics. :)

  • F.I.R. - 月牙湾 yue ya wan(crescent moon bay)

The starting part was good, but as for the lyrics… there’s 1 part that kind of repels me (Courtesy of http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=27374):

是誰的心哪
shi shui de xing na
Whose heart is it
孤單地留下
gu dan di liu xia
(That) is alone and left behind
他還好嗎
ta hai hao ma
Is he still well
我多想愛他
wo duo xiang ai ta
How I want to love him

Oh, and did I mention I suffered another bout of insomnia? I suppose I need to consult the doctor… I’m coughing, and suffering from lack of sleep after all.

The coughing… perhaps it’s not so smart to consume chocolate since it’s just a week since I got the vomiting-spree of a fever…

Note: For you NejiTen supporters out there, view these links. It’s not mine, sadly. But yeah, that’s a devout NejiTen pairing fan there.

Friday

11 Sep

I just realised something. Something important. Something I had forgotten time and again to blog…

My T3 report scores!!

alright, I’m relaxed now. Here goes the blindingly disgusting scores:

English Language

73 A2

Chinese

44 E8

Mathematics

69 B3

Science (Phys, Chemistry)

74 A2

Combined Humanities (SS, Geog)

58.5 C5

Principles Of Accounts

55 C5

Food & Nutrition

56 C5

Remarks: …grasps new ideas readily and shows that …is keen in her work.

Let’s all take a laugh.

Please – grasping new concepts comes from a science teacher. If only he saw my Languages P1…then I’m not very familiar with new concepts.

‘keen in … work’ same old same old. no need for further elaboration, yes?

I failed MTL, and passed E Maths – and a B3 while at it. It’s always such a case. Pass MTL, fail E Maths and vice versa.

Don’t want to talk about my C5s…

Had dad drove me 2 school in the morn, 10.20am did work. Rush rush rush…Life is a rush, hurry else the worms get eaten.

Presentation: I was talking with a sore and dry throat. Genius.

Whoever assumed that just because I was Commendation Day’s emcee meant I had a chance to get into the top 3 is wrong. Emceeing is about confidence, voice projection etc. , meaning that no brain works is required – unlike Entrepreneur. Understand?

Lastly, thanks 2 the ‘bakers cum entrepreneur’ friends of mine. Thanks for the leftovers (no sarcasm intended) of mango, grape (loves!!), chocolate toppings etc.

Yes, I’ve written a D.Gray-man fanfic, “Sodium Bicarbonate” – R & R.

Speaking of fanfic…

I received a review!!! From a Singaporean? Yes, I think so.

That I need to up my ratings. I didn’t know I was using any vulgarities till s/he told me!! And I’m too lazy to change…

2 No. 4 (sorry, 4gt your name…):

Did you recommend that person on facebook so you can taunt me?! Anyway, thank you very much but in case you have questions…

1) Even though he has the same surname as me, he’s not my relative (at least I think so)

2) How did you know I write?

LadyLolli: Dontwannaopenmymouthbutjustrant. Sighing in…

Blackmailed, blackmailed, and got blackmailed some more. Don’t ask.

Met quite a number of Bartleyans @ Suntec.

As predicted, parents were planning on going 2 Suntec. Family is probably at Suntec now. Didn’t go as I was trying 2 complete Entrepreneur slides…

Hungry 4 snacks. Finally took a bite of chocolate. After 2 itty bitty pieces, I stopped. Lesson learnt.

Have 2 ‘visit’ the school tomorrow. Not really anticipating it though.

By the way, I posted a D. Gray-man FF. Miranda-centric, non-romance. Just, as the review call it, ‘cute’. Yes, what the review said is true. I wrote it @ 2AM due 2 insomnia.

Btw, do not question me when I say the dark is not scary.

I have my reason:

I suffered from insomnia ever since the term holidays began. I’m more or less conditioned to the darkness at night now.

In fact, mum seems to find me creeping about in the dark more now…

Ugh…my hands are itching to write another piece of work!! But I have work to accomplish!!

Where’s my priority placed? On the not-plotted FF? Or my work due tomorrow?

Speaking of plots, I need to brush up on the plot of whatever stories I write…

Ugh, better finish up the work first…due tomorrow anyway.

LadyLolli: Currently addicted to Stacie Orrico’s (There’s gotta be) More to Life. Sighing out…
