Hoho. Just came back from dinner with Arvin. We ate at sakae teppenyaki, then went to PS Cafe for dessert. And since I'm of legal age now, I just had to try some wine haha! I'm proud to say I didn't get drunk LOL! Roar. Now, I've got to continue with silly bio learning outcomes. I'm so not looking forward to doing respiration tomorrow. And I haven't completed my vectors remedial worksheet. Math tutorial's the first period tomorrow! Help! :(
Nothing much this week, other than the fact that I'm left even more confused about my future after attending a few talks, namely the NUS FASS and UK university talks. Haha. NUS ain't too bad, except for the glaring "comprise of" somewhere in their booklet. Made me wonder if they're really the faculty of arts and social sciences. Lol! And I still don't really dare to apply to the UK, though I've sent Mr Cook and email indicating my interest. Oh well, I'll see how.


By the way, I got a C for GP! That's the highest grade I've ever obtained for any subject so far (pathetic, I know) and it's not even for any significant subject. Still, I'm rather proud of my 34/50 for the comprehension lol! But my essay was an all-time low of 25 marks, thankful I didn't fail though, the marker's comments totally made me feel as if all I'd written on the paper was 1+1=2. You know, the "duh" kinda comments after every paragraph I wrote. Haha! But yes, thanks to moderation of the compre marks (they said the cohort didn't do well), I just got a C. And trust me, it's gonna get better. Hahaha.


Met up with Yuqian, Lam Lee and Cristal for dinner yesterday at tampines mall. Yuqian came to my house before that to charge her phone and to rummage in my interesting drawers. Lol she was looking at my primary school report book (it was impressive, really, so unlike now) and discovered that when I was in primary 6, I weighed a mere 29kg, but stood tall and proud at 1.5+m! Kinda freaky huh. So everyone should really consider giving me more treats. :D


Ha Mrs Lim made the remedial students (includes me, of course) pair up, with each pair doing the learning outcomes for 2 topics. With this system, we're apparently gonna finish the entire syllabus in 2 weeks. Chia Wen and I've been totally cheated man, we're doing evolution on top of physiology and biochemistry, which is seriously alot! I just spent nearly 2 hours doing the first 3 outcomes of my part. And once again, I must say that I hate VJ's bio notes cos all they do is confuse and annoy me, confuse me again and ANNOY ME. On a lighter note, Mrs Lim will be checking through what we did first and she'll send it back to us if there's a lack of information. And yay, Chia Wen allowed me to use orange font to type it out LOL. Though Mrs Lim will probably send it back to me in black and white. Wahahax.


Congrats to the DHSCO committee 08/09! Jiayu's the chairperson, that's so cool! Haha. Time flies man. 2 years ago, our batch stepped down and the sec 2 batch were just entering dazu. Now, even that batch has stepped down! From this new batch of committee onwards, most of them are gonna be so alien in my impression. Haha. Anyway, do a good job, yeah! Gold with Honours for SYF next year! :) And to my successor's successor's successor (that's 3 generations) Guanglin, good luck collecting and managing all that money! Hahahaha. :D :D


Woohoo, dinner with Arvin tomorrow, Jap food! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VALERIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The killer turns 18 today! Wahahahax. That's my Bimbo Buddy, who has been an awesome, amazing friend! LOL. That reminds me, she called me yesterday and I decided to ask her some questions on normal distribution. She was yelling away (for whatever reason) and when I asked her if she'd got the answer, she said, "Wait, I'm complaining to Melvin about you." !!!!!! MEANIE. But since it's your birthday and I'm such a noble person, I'll let that pass, and here's your favourite bimbotic pink for you! Enjoy your eighteenth, KILLER! :D :D :D


A brief update on the instrument stock check on saturday. As usual, it was a dusty affair searching for instruments and squinting for their labels, then ticking against their numbers on the long, long sheets of paper. And not surprisingly, a few more dizis went missing (or in Ms Meta's words, not missing, but somewhere out there, to be found) HAHA. I'm glad the finding job isn't gonna be mine anymore. Good luck to the next batch, go find all your missing instruments and tuners! My job is DONE muahaha. :D


Roar. Mr Seet decided to catch people without ties last friday (that includes your truly) and our punishment is that we have to wear our ties this whole week, from assembly all the way till 12.30pm! Apparently, the subject tutors have been informed to check for our ties (though frankly speaking, I don't think S34's tutors will care, thankfully). Yeah we were supposed to start wearing our ties today but all of us didn't receive news of that. So, as punishment once again, we're supposed to wear our ties till next monday! GOODNESS. I'll look like some retard wearing a tie when the rest of the world isn't. Argh!


Haha, chem practical today was rather funny. For one, it was the first time I witnessed Audrey's way of doing things, and it was super amusing! Both of us went to get test tubes, and I just grabbed a bundle of them. And she was like, "No, no, you can't just grab any test tubes, you have to check if they're clean!" Then began her meticulous inspection of the many test tubes in the tray. Reminds me of shopping for fruits at a supermarket HAHA. After that, she went to wash them and she washed them one by one! Gosh, I wonder how she had time to complete her QA in secondary school hahahaha. Then again, we're talking about a future doctor here! Lol. Oh, and during one of the experiments, there was a lot of effervescence in the test tube which Eng Hwee was holding and the solution looked like it was gonna spurt out of the test tube. And Sharon went to push Eng Hwee's hand away and the test tube went towards Huijin's face. So there was basically alot of screaming from our group lol!


Hahaha. Took 55 home with Sharon and she was really happy, giggling non-stop on the bus. For a certain reason heh! LOL! =P


Argh I really shouldn't be here. I should be STUDYING. Study, study, study....................

Seriously, Audrey's middle name should be Saboteur, she's so evil. During bio tutorial today...


Audrey: Ruth, why didn't you copy down the answer to this question?
Me: It's not in my syllabus.
Audrey: Mrs Lim, is Gene Therapy in the H1 syllabus?
Mrs Lim: No, it's not.
Audrey: Then does Ruth have to copy down the answer?
Mrs Lim: Ruth arh.................................. *about to start nagging when someone talked to her or something*


LOL! See, Audrey's mean! Thankfully someone asked Mrs Lim a question or I'd have to copy down something that's NOT IN MY SYLLABUS hahahahaha. :P


Lol! Math lecture was quite amusing. Jieying was sleeping, and Chia Wen and I were talking over her head. Apparently she heard us, so she woke up and Chia Wen jumped in shock, which shocked Jieying too LOL! That was retarded but I kept laughing lol! Jieying and I didn't bring our notes, so both of us were talking about random stuff like our childhood haha! Oh yes, thanks Jieying for my super belated birthday present! She gave me candles spelling HAPPY BIRTHDAY (super cute) and a chicken little file! :D :D


Hoho I'm researching on universities and courses cos I still don't really know what I wanna do next time. I was telling a few people that I feel like applying to the UK for fun (not exactly for fun, to try yeah) but I don't have the confidence to. Haha! Oh well. I'll see. Predicting LCC's words, "Huh? Are you sure you want to apply? Cannot lah, SURE FAIL!" LOL!!!!!


Haha I was telling Audrey and Jieying about what I wanna study next time, maybe something business-related. And they said after I graduate, I can do take over my family's business. Audrey said she has faith that I will build the fourth integrated resort and the tallest building in the world. LOL! Yeah, that's my new-found aspiration. To build the tallest building in the world. And don't worry Audrey, I'll give you your requested office for a clinic. I'll give you the whole level HAHAHAHAHA.


I should stop dreaming and study first. Lol.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUIJIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't think you'll see this, but yeah, thanks for being such an awesome friend! Whee love you loads! :D







This is part of the "card" (a storybook of GP essays, according to Amelia and Huijin) I made for her. Don't you think it's nice? I think it is HAHA.


My biggest accomplishment of the past few days, I finally went to fish for all my long-lost notes! And I'm amazed at how many notes I actually have lol. It's so cool, finding all the notes dating way back to the beginning of last year. And I filed them! So now I have four fat files of notes. I'm feeling proud of myself, praise me! Hahahahaha. Now, I really HAVE to start studying. There're only 50 plus, 60 days left to the prelims and I've got minimal time to cover 2 whole years' work. Sigh!


Haha yesterday's GP lesson was really hilarious. It was Ms Wong's birthday, and Mark and Calvin were supposed to walk in to class late and surprise her with a cake. But happened that she was walking around outside the classroom and she spotted them downstairs with the cake LOL! Anyway, she asked us to move down to the math resource room for our lesson and we had this new plan. So we entered the math resource room...


Class: Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to AMELIA!!!!! Happy birthday to you
A very stunned Ms Wong (to Mei Ching or whoever): Isn't Amelia's birthday on the 6th? (No, it was 3 months ago actually lol)
Someone: Okay lah, now real one.
Class: *Sings for Ms Wong*


HAHA! Ms Wong's face was really funny! Yeah, happy belated birthday, Ms Wong! :) :)


Lol I was supposed to take part in the inter-house soccer yesterday, but I decided that I'm really afraid of soccer so I shouldn't embarrass the house. I think I've taken part in enough inter-house games already! Credit goes to Hannah LOL! Yeah, Valerie praised me for being a good girl and going home wahahax.


Went for a business and accountancy talk by NTU today. It was alright, but I don't think I'll wanna go to NTU. For one, it's at freaking boon lay and for another, I don't know, but I get some cocky air from there haha. Audrey says we can meet up next time and travel to NUS together. Since we only live one lane apart and NUS is so far, our parents aren't gonna fetch us. Lol.


Today's a happy and demoralising day, rolled into one. The demoralising parts. I got U for bio and chem! Like goodness, at this juncture and I'm still getting U's, more than one at that. I was saying that (in mahjong terms) I might pong U, but fortunately I didn't. Still, 2 U's is equally bad. Ha I looked at my chem paper and beside the score, Mr Lim wrote, "Sure fail!" and I was like, whatever, that's so Mr Lim. And OMG Jarren said that he's a christian! I almost fainted when I heard that. Him? A christian? My toes will just laugh. But apparently, it's true. Wow.


Got back our econs today too. I kept thinking that I'd fail and I was very scared when we were getting back our papers. I saw my paper and Amelia took it for me. I wanted to quickly take it from her and cover it up but I was wondering why was she holding on to it and showing it to Huijin. They said my case study mark was quite high, so I looked, 17/30. Okay, that's quite lucky, but I think I'll screw up my essays. *Flips to the first essay*, 17/25 (STUNNED) *flips to the second essay*, 7/25 (LOL). Haha I was very, very, very relieved that I passed! Audrey said that I could still pass despite putting in quite little effort (no, I think it was quite alot!), so I can do well if I'm more hardworking. Haha she said that cos I called her up 2 days before the exam to ask for help, cos my inflation, BOP and some other notes were blank. But I thought I did put in quite alot of effort into econs. Like I really sat there and read my notes carefully and properly! Haha. And of course, thank God!! :) And thanks Audrey for saving my life! Haha.


Went to swensens after school today with Amelia and Huijin. Being the birthday girl, Huijin got a free ice cream! Haha. We were doing stupid stuff there, taking lots of silly pictures. Haha Amelia, I want the photos!!!! Oh we met Ms Wong at parkway! She was there to celebrate her birthday with her class haha.


Thank you Hannah for the really encouraging card! I was really touched when I read it. Yeah, let's work hard together and not let people like LCC look down on us! (Actually, I don't really care what he thinks haha). And yes, God is always there to help us! And and Hannah, I didn't steal your ruler okay! LOL!!!!!

Thursday, July 03, 2008

Hoho I strolled into school at 1 plus pm today lol! Cos my dad woke me up at 8.30 and since I was already late, I decided to go back to sleep and just go for the last 2 periods to get back my chem and math papers. And I wasn't gonna walk in in the middle of bio class with my stem cells tutorial undone hehe. Yeah I went to join my class for break and they were like, "Good morning Ruth, just woke up right! Let's lay a red carpet!" HAHA. They told me that Mrs Lim was frantically looking for me during bio. She repeatedly asked where was I, whether I knew that I was supposed to be there, and according to Jieying, they ignored her lol. Aye can't be helped that she urgently needed to look for her model student LOL!


We got back our chem MCQ and math today. Bad, but chem was total tyco. When we walked into the S & T centre for chem, we realised that Mr Lim flashed all our MCQ marks on the screen. He showed the cohort statistics too. The average mark's 10/30! I went to look for my name, expecting some single digit near 0. I couldn't believe it when I saw that I got 10! Had to stare and stare and stare. And I couldn't stop laughing after that. That's not cos I knew my work or anything, cos I practically guessed every question. Haha Jieying and Huijin were like, "Omg Ruth, you got a double digit!" "What the hell, you got 10!" Haha, but the paper's really psychotic and my guessing skills were not bad, that's all. When we get back our structured questions........ that's a different story altogether haha! Mr Lim said that Mr Chok's leaving soon, that means this year's J1 batch won't get a psychotic paper next year! Lucky them heh.


Ha my math was terrible! I knew it was gonna be terrible, and I didn't dare look at the paper for fear of seeing my first U in math, which was really very likely. Haha I almost got a U! I looked at my paper and saw 31, with a sad smiley. I didn't really feel anything cos on one hand I expected it, but on the other, I felt a little disappointed cos that was the lowest mark I ever got for math. And this is not a good time to get that yeah. Haha. But who can I blame! Yep Mr Teo came to talk to me. He said something like, "Why like that? Put in effort for every single subject except math is it? Skipping those remedial sessions made a difference right? It's okay, I can help you. I'll do what I can, but you must put in effort too."............... then I don't know why, but I tear-ed! And Mr Teo was quite shocked. He was like, "Omg I'm not scolding you you know! It's okay, it's okay!" Haha. I tear-ed cos I was super touched! Like, Mr Teo's still helping me even after I've disappointed him like 3286096859082 times. I thought he'd really give up on me, especially since he always says that he doesn't help students when they don't help themselves and only look for him at the last minutes. Yeah I felt very guilty too. Roar I really must work hard, he's the last teacher I want to give up on me! Hee.


Ah I hate getting back results! It always gets people so sad, and it's quite sad seeing other people disappointed, whether because their expectations are too high, or for whatever reason. And to my dear friend, cheer up! You really did alright, and you know that you have the ability to do well! Don't let this minor setback get you down. Let's work hard together yeah! You can do it! And I can do it too..................? Hahahaha.


Hoho I'm finally done with my T3A! But I think it's quite short and I really wrote quite a lot of nonsense. I bet Mdm Wee will be laughing when she received it for verification. HAHA. Oh well, I think I'm pretty honest though! And I definitely didn't sell myself shamelessly! Yay, three cheers for me! Wahahax.


Sian. I'm still not in the mood for school! Much less studying. But I really should start.............. that's what I always say, I'm sure all of you are bored of reading it. Ha oh well. I dare not think about my results anymore. I really should go see the HOD first. Haha. Yay, last school day of the week tomorrow! Press on, everyone! Hahahaha. :D

Haha! This is really late but I shall blog about how idiotic Cristal and I were when we went to welcome Joanne back at the airport two fridays ago lol. Firstly, we were totally genius cos we only asked her what time would her flight be landing, and completely forgot about the flight number. (Actually, she did email us the flight number but I think we didn't check our mails or something haha). Yeah, I went online to check the flights arriving at that time, and there were like 4 flights, 2 at T1 and 2 at T3. Lol I had this feeling it would be at T3, but Cristal felt it would be at T1. So we were at different places trying to spy for a Joanne-like person. We didn't even know how much she'd changed LOL. We were basically being retarded, communicating on the phone going, "I don't see anyone, seems like everyone has left", "What if her whole family has gone home?" blah blah. Hahaha. All of a sudden, this lady turned to ask me if I was waiting for Joanne. And it turned out to be Joanne's mum! Gosh, to think I didn't recognise her and I was standing beside her for like an eternity HAHA. Yeah that was stupid. I'll remember to inquire about the flight number next time! Lol.


Last friday was singing at Teo Heng! With Hongming, Weiliang, Xiuxian, Stefanie, Lucas, Cephia, Benedict, Chin Cher, Tingkai..... It was fun! Yay singing! :D :D


These two days of lessons have been boring. For one, I haven't adjusted my body clock so I've been dazing around hahaha. And for another, there's this huge feeling of impending doom in the form of our CT 2 results! Please, just burn my scripts or something. And perhaps I should just go see the HOD first hahaha. Ooh, Jieying, Shimin, Amelia and I played bridge during chem lecture yesterday! Cos all of us didn't bring our notes lol. Apparently we made a bit of noise and got shushed by some people from another class haha! Oops. :/ Yawn, getting back chem and math this thurday. I'm bracing myself!


I haven't started on my T3A and it's due this friday! I've got all 3 ready, just that I don't know how to go about writing. I'll feel really bad if I say "Ruth has been a responsible sectional leader"........ Argh. I MUST get started on it soon! Otherwise my leaving certificate will really be blank haha.


This is only the second day of school, and I'm feeling so tired. I'm sleep-deprived, give me back my holidays!!!!!
