One down...

All right its official. I have fallen sick. The fever virus caught me. Got one day of MC for tomorrow. Initially the doctor wanted to give me two days but I have an exam on Thursday....

Ah heck its always like that; I tend to fall sick during major examinations. I fell sick during my O levels back in 2004, fell sick again during mid year exam last year and now this...

Wonder how the hell am I gonna pass my exam this Thursday.

Then again, I can push myself to blog but cant push myself to study. Guess I am bound to fail.

Ugh my head..............

''I am dying."

breaking down..

Got back my physics mock results today and sadly, it is not very good.
Felt abit unwell during school. Was lethargic and can't concentrate during lessons. Head felt very heavy.
Went back home and slept for a few hours.
Felt better but still got this sicky feeling.
Seriously I can't afford to fall sick.
Prelim starts this Thursday.
Need to study for it.

Read about World War Two during my break in the library today.
Realised that Hitler has always wanted to visit Paris as a tourist.
His dream was fulfilled when he occupied France.
He went to visit the Eiffel Tower, Arch de Troimph, Napoleon's Tomb and many other places.
He was reported saying ''My dream has come true.''

I wanted to read Mein Kampf (pronounced Mine Camf) by Hitler but my friend told me that its a rather sucky book in the sense that all his arguments and ideas were baseless and extremely biased. Still, I want to read it to know what are his thoughts and his rational for starting World War 2.

As I am writing this I am also watching the Ultimate Comedian on TV. Its a show to scout for comdedian in Singapore. So far, I felt that all the candidates were obscenely lousy. Either their performance SUCKS and were not a single bit funny or they just copy ideas from other comedians in other country. And the worst part is they can't copy properly...
The show is pretty hopeless in my opinion.

just another day

Went swimming yesterday. Went to the Bishan Swimming Complex. Felt that its a nice place. The ambience appeals to me. Got lotsa sun. And not very many people. Might be swimming there from now on.

On the way I saw lotsa friends of my friend. What can I say? Its his turf anyways.

Had my teacher's day celebrations yesterday. The concert was not half bad. Some performance were quite interesting. Like the yoyo performance. Dint know you could do so many stunts with a yoyo.

Got myself tanned from the swim. I like it. But it may start to peel off soon.

I told myself I shall begin revisions for my preliminary exams today but I found myelf blogging about yesterday instead. Then again, I WILL start today.

Am really cash strapped now. I have been spending my pocket money thoroughly every week for the past few weeks and saved up none. Gonna be broke soon.

Series of unfortunate events... well maybe not

This past week has been a very unpleasant one for me...

First, my grades for my mock examinations are not good. I failed my further maths paper and got 73/100 for my maths paper. While the latter might sound like an impressive grade, it is actually not because the maths paper was an *obscenely* easy paper and my maths teacher expected my class, a Further maths class, to score at least 85 and above for it. Most of my classmates scored more than 85 with only a handful that didn't. I am part of that handful. To make things worst, my friends from other classes that didn't take further maths managed to score 90++ for the paper. I am really very disappointed with my results. The most sickening part is I got friends that didn't revise for the paper and managed to get 85+. I revised for it and got this kind of retarded grades...

Secondly, my mom has been throwing her tantrum more often than usual and she seems to make it a habit now to keep nagging at me. I don't know why. Her unreasonable caprices have make my whole family drift further apart.. Its like we do not talk to each other as often as before anymore. My brother seems to be irritated by my mother my dad no longer bothers to argue with her. As for me, I have no choice but to comply with whatever she says~ I dunno if it is right to feel this way but I really can't wait to get into the army where I won't have to face all these crap everyday.

Thirdly, I have been feeling pretty restless and slack these few days. I don't why its like I can't bring myself to pay attention in class and the moment I reached home, I will be facing my computer. I haven't been studying and haven't been doing all the revision package worksheets my teacher has given us. My preliminary examinations will commence next Thursday. And I haven't revised for a single subject yet... Its totally not like me to be so slack and indifferent to examinations. In the past I would be mugging like shit but now? I dunno whats becoming of me... At this rate I might have trouble passing my A levels.

Went for my NS vocational assignment at the Commandos Training Institute at Pasir Ris yesterday. When I reached the meeting point where a bus will deliver us to the camp, I saw many people from other JCs, polys and ITEs. I thought I would be alone for the whole thing then suddenly I saw Guo Shiong my friend. Didn't expect him to be here as well but oh well, I could use his company hahaahaha... Anyways we were first given a psychological assessment which lasts about 1.5 hours. The questions they asked were quite funny cause they are all very easy and are those kind of Duh~ questions. So much so that I was wondering ''Hmm are all these questions really as easy as they seem to be?''. We were then brought the the field where we were tested on how many chin-ups, push-ups and sit-ups we could do. Then we went for the standing board jump as well. After which we were told to do some exercises that tested our agility, endurance, balance and all. I fared quite well for all the segments I guess. Next we were given half an hour's break and after that its time for the interviewing session. At first I thought that it would be like a room with three soldiers sitting at one end and then I would be sitting in the middle and they will just start shooting questions at me those kind of scenarios. Luckily, it was nothing of that sort haha. Its just a one to one interview in the canteen and we took turns to see the interviewers one by one. I waited for some 30 minutes before its my turn. My interviewer was somewhat casual as in he just asked me some questions and then tick tick tick on a sheet of paper. He seems to be rather serious when talking to me. I spents less than 5 minutes in the interview. After that, I went to sit at a corner to wait for Guo Shiong who was still being interviewed and I saw that my interviewer treats the other interviewee quite differently. He chatted with them and was like smiling all the way through and he spent well more than 5 minutes with them...

Sheez guess my chances of becoming a commando is quite low eh... I want to be one!

Went home after the interview. For no apparent reason, the train ride home seems to be faster and the train ride to pasir ris. Wierd.

I am back!

Haha its been awhile since I last updated...

Had my General Paper mock exam today and it was so mental straining.. to make things worst I had to sit for my Phyics continual assessment after my GP paper. 4.5 hours of continuous test and exam.... this is sheer madness. Ah but at least some funny stuff happened during the exam. The invigilator for the GP exam, Mr. Fahy, likes to shout shout and shout. He even shouts into the microphone. So when it was time for the paper to end, he shouted into the mic ''TIMES UP!!!'' and the whole lecture theatre jumped. LOL. Alphonsus, who was sitting beside me, practically jumped out of his seat and he was like 'F***' etc etc lol. It was an amusing sight and I had to try very hard to not laugh... WAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The physics test was rather difficult in my opinion, guess its time i start revising seriously and cut down on my Mapling hours.

Looking forward to tomorrow as it is the beginning of my National Day holidays which will last 3 days from tomorrow to Thursday wooo. Will be going to school tomorrow for a Big Walk(7++ km) as part of our National Day celebration. How that has got anything to do with my country's birthday I don't know. Heard that we would be released at 11 am tomorrow YAY!

Just bought a red crumpler yesterday and thought that no one in school has it but to my horror, I saw a girl carrying it today...AHHHHH haiz. I think I should not have bought the crumpler since it is actually very plain in design and its dirt-like common.. Everybody seems to be carrying it nowadays. But the good thing is the bag is very durable. Guess I won't be changing bags for the next ten years haha.
