再见

So Bi Ran and I just saw Xing Dong off at the airport~

Coincidentally, we saw 张老师 at Terminal 3 getting ready to order her food~

"10" and Marionette

I think scoring a 10 is okay-- not very good, not very bad either. I'm just not very happy with A2s for biology, geography and especially emaths. But for the record, I didn't cry or feel particularly depressed when I got my results. In fact, I was confused by my result slip when I saw it (^^)/; Even Mr Sng (FT) was like, "are you okay?". Guess I'm about the only one who looked super confused then~ (^^)''' But it's weird feeling nothing; no relief, no happiness, no disappointment-- just a blank, when I got my results, as compared to others, who were feeling the extremes. So anyway, I've just submitted my application, and all I can do is just to wait and see which JC I'm getting posted to~

On another note, Xing Dong will be leaving for Australia to further his studies there tomorrow. So far, I've managed to gather 2 other primary school friends to see him off at the airport. It feels alien, to see my friends slowly leaving Singapore, one by one~ Then again, nobody said that they'll never come back (^^)

Just love this song-- Marionette by Ayumi Hamasaki



Creepy~ But I want the album!!

Of Judo, Games Day and... TOMORROW

On monday, after PE, I decided on a whim that I wanted to go for judo at least once, so I went. And oh-my-gosh I'm so glad I went-- it's so cool!! I had so much fun being thrown and tossed around (literally). It was especially thrilling when the sensei stood in for a senior and um, threw us~ Totally. Cool.

But I kinda paid for the fun I had 'cos I had really bad muscle aches, especially my upper arms, neck and upper back~ Couldn't even hang up my clothes in the cupboard properly yesterday night (had to stand on a chair). Thank goodness it's better today already. Oh, and my E-2 Japanese class started yesterday too! It's nice to be back there~ And rather coincidentally, I found out that my senior is studying Japanese there too! Just in a different classroom, and a level higher than me. (^^)

Just now, I went to play at Games Day even though I didn't sign up for it. I played floorball, which lasted less than 10 minutes (I think), and fell down twice. How embarrassing~ Especially since I was the only one who fell at all (--)''' At least we won~ And... 恋してキメル！goes on sale today!

恋してキメル！PV

Pity it didn't make it to the Top 20 on the Oricon Charts... でもいい曲ですね！！大好きな～～　=33 恋してkimeru!!!

And, finally, TOMORROW.
My O level results.
*shudder shudder*

NOTE: I successfully got the date display to show up, so I'll be titling my posts from now on (^^)v

Okay~ So I haven't really posted in a week (other than that short declaration of triumph below)... I'm not exactly very busy, yet not exactly free. It's just that I don't feel like doing anything at all after school-- must the the side effect of sitting through lectures (--)''' Or maybe I'm thinking about my current situation too much. What do I mean by that? My subject combination and whether or not I should try to stay where I am not regardless of my O level results.

Firstly, my subject combination: Mathematics, Biology, Geography and English Literature; a half-half, though technically I'm in the Arts stream. I like the subjects I'm studying now, but there's one BIG problem-- the facts I need to memorise are simply too much for my poor brain. Which means I should drop either Bio, Geog or Lit since they are the main culprits. But which one? I like all of them, and at the same time, have no confidence that I'll score in all of them (including Maths, which regrettably isn't exactly my favourite subject either). And even if I make up my mind as to which one I should give up, what do I replace it with? Economics? H2 Chinese? Computer Studies?<-- won't that mean I need to be in the Science stream?? HUH?

But wait, should I even stay put for JAE? I mean, even if my results are better than expected, do I want to stay? If my results are worst than my PRELIM ones, then obviously I'd try to get a place here, since I had so much fun, felt so happy and got to know quite a few people. The um, atmosphere(?) here is great; I can just sit to next to a 'stranger' , start chatting without much effort, and leave for my next lesson knowing that I've just spent an hour with a 'friend'. This actually happened a few times already, starting yesterday (when we first went for lessons according to our specific subjects) since I'm the only person in my OG in the Arts stream. If not for my random (literally), new-found friends, I'd be pretty lonely all the time.

So what's putting me off staying?

1. No MEP







2. The academic performance at A levels.

I don't even know where to start hating myself from~

So now, one part of me, my heart, is telling me to stay no matter what and look further than just figures and percentages.
The other part of me, my head, is telling me to grab the opportunity and leave for greener pastures elsewhere if I get the chance.

(T.T)

I suppose I still have time, and I probably should look at my results first before making any decisions. So, the drama continues... Next Week.

First band practice tomorrow. Looking forward to it much more than I sound.

And the Principal was really sweet today. I was waiting for my waffle from the stall when he went to return his empty tea/coffee cup and saucer. He asked how I was doing ("not bad...") and commented that the results would be out next week. I must have looked rather uneasy because he told me this,

"Don't worry, I am confident that Cedar girls will do well".

Finally! I am done with the new layout/template! Using xml for the first time, and it's really a pain to switch over (--)''' Kinda worth it though, even if the date (rectangular grey box on the left side of the longer date) doesn't show up~

I was listening to a recording of Yiddish Dances just now, and a flood of memories came rushing back... Even though SYF was months and months ago~

ANYWAY, many people asked me how school was. Hmmm... Let's just say I'm taking it all easy--like I told Varruna, I'm crashing into lectures that I'm not supposed to be in, and nodding off in the ones I'm in (^^)'''

And I'm also catching up on anime and other stuff during the rest of the day. I've finished what's been released of Zombie Loan as of now (11 episodes) and I'm patiently waiting for the last 2 to be released in April (T.T) I'm watching D. Gray-Man at Stage6, (episode 12, at the time of typing this) as well as the latest episode showing at Arts Central (can't wait for Friday!!!).

And lastly, I just wanna say, after watching the little snippet of Kimeru's PV of 恋してキメル！, I CAN'T WAIT FOR 23rd JANUARY TO COME!!!

The first 3 days of school are over! J1 Orientation is officially over!

To me, it's as fun as it could get, and that's a good thing, since I don't really like all this kind of stuff a lot-- I mean, I'm the sort of person who can't put a name to a new face (actually, everyone looks almost identical to me when I meet a ton of people at once; I swear, I must've some kind of weird disability~) and it usually take weeks, months or even years to establish a true relationship with any of my peers. Couple that with the ever-present need to cheer, the alien-ess of a new campus/compound, the silent pressure to race and win, I usually don't enjoy orientation 'crash' camps. But, man, was the whole thing tiring! And I realised that I could do the high-pitch-ear-piercing kind of scream-- at the expense of my voice... (--)'''

But hey, I never knew mass dancing can get so fun! At the chorus of the song, where we prepare/start to 'waltz':

5! 6! 7! 8!
1, 2 ,3, jump!
1, 2 ,3, jump!
1, 2 ,3, jump!
1, 2, 3, *CRASH~*

'Cos the hall is just not big enough for 200+ couples to waltz crazily, much less 400+ of them~ Oh well, speaking of dance, I need to thank my partner-in-crime for putting up with my clumsiness and dancing with me as though nothing happened after it all-- thank you!!



HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, WY!?!

And I'm a little worried about my subject combination~
