Depressed...

OH my goodness...i got back the rest of my results today...except Economics...my Math was an S!! and Physics was a U!!! Sighz...well on the bright side i noe that i could have at least passed my GP...after my friend caculated for me...i realised i need at least 6 points to get a clear-cut promotion...any less and it's conditional promotion for me...

I was nearly in tears when i realised the gravity of the situation...eve though i do have an alternative...which is to go Ngee Ann Poly and do Mass com...similar to my neighbour hu did one year of JC...gave up n ended up in Poly the following year. I know i haf the aptitude for it but i shall only use it as a last resort...if possible i'd rather get promoted with the rest of the class...-_-"

I must say though...i'm really thankful for the friends that i have...who are encouraging me and supporting me all the way through...both physically n spiritually...friends from MJC, Poly...hu pray for me...i'm reali thankful for that...i feel extremely blessed =)

Hmm...i bought a new book today...Dragon Keeper...decided to read it to take my mind off things...or else i'll juz EMO for the rest of the night...haha....yea right...guess i better sleep...2morrow's gonna' be a looong day for me...

ALAS! THE MOMENT OF TRUTH

U guessed it! I got a couple of my promo results back 2day...there was an improvement shown...although i'm not too sure if it'll help in my promotion...because mostly the improvements r one grade only...unlike my friend hu jumped from a U to a B for his Chem...man do i envy him...o anywayz here r the current results that i've received...

Chem: E ; General Paper: D(for paper 2) ; Chinese: B

Well i guess i'm neutral to my subject grades...i am juz very VERY worried that it is insufficient to pull my grades up...esp adding up my tests and my Common Test(which i totally blew). I get the feeling my grades will be pulled DOWN instead of UP...geez...
Now i'm waiting(anxiously) for my Economics and Physics results...oh...plus my OTHER GP paper...because currently i only know the results for my comprehesion(paper2)...i have no idea wad my compo results are...i heard that the passing rate was quite low though...for General Paper...pretty scary actually.

Well...enough about results...the more i talk about it the more depressed i feel...but i guess i must thank my friend who told said to "Trust in the Lord with all your soul"...n to cheer up even if i hit a hard rock once in awhile...(NOT LITERALLY! if i do hit a hard rock literally i'll break wadeva part of my body that hit it!)


07S07 is puttin up a performance 2morrow...HAHA. I thought my first performance with the choir would be next week which is the end-of-term chapel. I had no idea it would be with my cg...along with my teacher hu will be singing! MAN! TALK ABOUT COOL! I guess i'll go into more detail abt how the performance went 2morrow...n perhaps more on my results...so check back soon!! =)

Tattoos!!! =)

Yoz! I believe that all of u noe wad a tattoo is right? Even if u never had one on your own skin...you would have at least heard of or seen someone with it right? To be honest...i used to enjoy pasting fake tattoos on myself...especially butterflies...n roses...in fact i still do...except that i draw on myself instead. Well, some people DO find it a little weird or lame...however, i beg to differ.

I myself feel that Tattoos give one a chance to express themselves in an artistic manner as well. Tattoos, like drawing/painting, is an art as well. People get tattoos for various reasons...some may be due to peer pressure, some juz want to stand out from the crowd n be unique, for some it's because of their culture...yes some groups do mark themselves with tattoos....when i say groups i meant tribes and not gangsters, even if they do get tattoos to mark themselves n be able to tell who their 'brothers/sisters' are by the marks on their bodies.

Just like how painters and artistes use paintbrushes and pencils respectively to draw on paper, tattoo artistes replace paper with skin and use ink.

There are fake tattoos and real tattoos. Fake tattoos are mostly the paste-on types...which u can easily remove with alcohol or baby oil...
Real tattoos however, are a total different story. The ink is injected into your body...which means there is no way that the tattoo can be removed...it will stay with you for the rest of your life...it becomes part of you...part of your identity. The only way to remove it is to cut off that patch of your skin...which isnt a painless process...au contraire...it's reali painful...(like DUH)
I was reading the latest issue of Readers Digest (Oct 2007) Brass, a character from the show Miami Ink, gives his advise to those who would like a tattoo...the Dos and Don'ts...

DO have a good idea of what u want to get...exactly!!
DO realise that a tattoo is FOR LIFE!
DO research your art AND your artist before getting tattooed. I believe for the artist part many of you should know why...i mean...if your artist is some Tom, Dick and Harry who juz grabs any needle n pokes into your skin...n u happen to be THAT unlucky because the previous person hu used that needle has some sort of disease...good luck to u man!
The art that u want to get is also important to be reasearched on...because sometimes we may not know it but the logo/picture/design we want is for some kind of cult or the devil in other cultures that we might not have heard of...and also if there happens to be a gang with that design as their mark...yea...so ALWAYS ALWAYS RESEARCH YOUR ART N ARTIST!!

DON'T walk into a tattoo shop on a whim to get inked because you're not going to get the best work you can get. If u want to get inked on impulse, go slap a fake tattoo on yourself man! I think that's a better idea...because the chances of you wanting to change your mind about that design which u wanted on a whim is reali high. With a fake tattoo...u can juz wash it off anytime n get a new one..

Me? Let's see...i would not mind having a fake tattoo on myself...those stick-on kinds...a design that is associated with water...healing...emotions...that is what i want...hehe...although i'll probably get slaughtered first....after all...mum wasn't exactly ecstatic the last time i slapped a tattoo on myself...-_-"

Continous PW...geez...

AHH! OH my goodness gracious me!! 2day apparently there was a 8-hour straight PW crashcourse for all J1s in SAJC! I was like...r u kidding me? 8 hours straight? I'd die! By the end of the day i was totally braindead...scratch that...by the end of lunch i was already brain dead. My teammates n i were like...trying to squeeze out every last bit of brain juice we had left inside our head to think of something!! YIKES! But well...thankfully there was a break for a light snack (a half an hour one) and lunch( which was an hour). After lunch, i came back n realised tat none of my grp mates were back yet...so i decided to jam a little. (in other words i played O2Jam...teehee...) anywayz when i was playin halfway, i heard my teacher's voice n i jumped. I had a good mind 2 slam shut my labtop but then it was too late...to my surprise though he juz watched me play n even asked me about the game. I was both surprised n relieved.

Anywayz, promo results are out soon...i guess even it's not surprisig that some of us aren't in the mood for PW...since we're all worried abt promo results...but my friend's right...Promo results r 2morrow whereas PW stuff's like next week...? Sighz..i think i should go prepare to get retained...either that or ask for some alternative routes.............oh well...guess i should juz be prepared for the very worst

bored!!

Yo peeps! i'm currrently in school...yea i'm using their computer...cos i'm reali reali bored!! Argh! i'm stuck here until choir starts at 1:30pm!! oh my goodness...hmmm....maybe i should sleep for awhile...since i'm sooooo tired....sighz.......i think i'm comin down with a cold...i walked in the rain yesterday....even with the umbrella? the wind was so strong it blew the rain right into my face...i was sooooooooooo absoloutely soaking wet...n i kept sneezing after that....best part? i was goin 2 watch a movie in the theatre...oh man i was already drenched n freezing cold...n i was goin into the air-conditioned cinema...how nice...
But the movie was reali worth it...Balls of Fury...LOL. It was reali hilarious...i was laughing so much i had a tummy ache...-_-" I shan't be a spoiler to those hu did not watch...haha...the only thing i can say is that there were quite a bit of retarded n sick parts.
Ok...guess i better go...i'd looove to find some place to sleep......seriously...haha...ok ciao people!

Promos r over!

Finally! Saint Andrew's Junior College year-1 promos r over! Math was fine...definitely...but my physics...i gave up halfway during the paper n nearly cried!!! AHHH!!! I totally blanked out...

Anywayz...after the paper...because of the fact that we were the last group of people to use the hall...we had to stack up ALL the tables n chairs n bring 'em back to the storeroom. Hehe. My class was lucky though...07S07...because on the day that we were supposed to set up the tables n chairs...we did more than our fair share...so in return we didn't haf 2 clear up. My cg(it's like a class but in JC we call it C.G. a.k.a. Civics Group) I went PL for awhile with 2 of my cgmates...Jeriel n Tham...haha. Played dota...n i kena' owned by Tham...eesh...he saw me n attacked me...i ran for my life but couldn't run away in time...haizzz i'm a total noob man...sheesh!!

Later in the day, I went over to MJC for it's open house. OH MY GOODNESS! I met quite a number of people from my primary school...one even gave me a candle in some sort of container...the container was red in colour n it was translucent...reali beautiful....i ran into my best friend CHI PING! n we hung out for as long we could...haha. (Someone thought she was my sister...LOL) Anywayz there was some kind of mass dance finals...i supported Callisto!! Well...i was supposed to be in Callisto if my appeal to SAJC was unsuccessful n i had remained in MJC...so i was cheering for Callisto!!! They didn't win...but i juz wud like 2 say: EXCELLENT JOB CALLISTO!! WOOHOO!!

Those things happened yesterday. This morning...i had choir practice...for Physical Training...we did something different 2day...instead of making us run around the track...we played running games...one was Husband n Wife...one was Freeze n melt. Mm...to all those hu do not know Freeze n melt...it's ice n water...if u still dunno wad it is...it's a game similar to catching...except that when u're caught u do not become the catcher immediately but u merely stay on the spot n can't run unless another player frees you. The number of lives determines the number of times u are allowed to be caught before u become the catcher.
For Husband and Wife, everyone finds a partner....n then among all the pairs, one of them has to be selected to be the runner n catcher. The runner has to run towards any of the pairs...so if let's say he runs to the pair wif ppl A and B, if he stands nxt to A, B has to run off whereas if he stands nxt to B, A has to run away. N when B/A runs off...he/she cannot run to the pair tat's nxt to the spot where they were originally positioned. I was really 'lucky'...i got the fastest runner...n i was caught...but oh well...i managed to catch the next person in a few minutes so it wasn't TOO bad...
oh...SAChorale...i wud like 2 say 2day was a reali fun choir practice....haha...n i muz say it was fun n innovative of Mr Tay to comes up wif games that helps improve our sense of pulse...haha. Ok...i guess tat's it...ciao!

Promos so far...

PROMOS! Well well...finally found a bit of time to post sth abt my final term examination papers so far...Let's see...I'll go according to the sequence of my papers...startin from my General paper...

1. General Paper: It wasn't too bad...juz tat a few days after my GP i realised that i could actually add one more point into my essay. I selected a topic that was sth on Technology complicating our lives more than necessary...since i enjoy reading on Technology...the various caterogies n groups...n the applications on our lives...the qn after that was a total giveaway but I realised that i would have a little problem tackling that qn...
Comprehension was all right...as in the questions were not TOO bad...BUT I only fully understood the meaning of the passage 5 minutes after the paper ended...can u beat that? Oh vocab? I screwed it up...totally...

2. Chinese: HELL! I stared at the first 3 questions n i was totally stunned. But the passages that came after that was...manageable...i guess...not much for chinese...accept that my hand was in pain after the paper...because our compo n main paper were 3 hours straight...first hour n a half? compo...remaining time? main paper...i was writin continuously n in the end my hand was shaking after the paper...hehe

3. Chemistry: It was a total massacre!!!! I completely forgot all my Organic Chem reactions...i remembered the reagents n conditions...but i forgot which belonged to which reactions...i totally screwed up the paper man....sighz........n i was so depressed after the paper tat i missed my stop AND nearly got ran over by a concrete-mixer...

4. Economics: Ok this was not too bad a paper...although i din manage to finish it...especially the essay part...case study was all right...but i guess i spent a little too much time on it...opportuinity cost...fellow students hu learn Economics u'd noe wad i'm sayin...

I still have got my Math n Physics paper to go before freedom...well...TEMPORARY freedom i guess....that's all diary. Ciao
