Talk about my remaining results first lol.
chem was a shock.
87.
was betting with cryst online the night before.
if I got A+, I'd treat her to a drink.
if I got above 85, I'd treat her to lunch.
if I got A, she'd treat me a drink.
if I got B, she'd treat me to lunch.
so I gotta treat her lunch lol ._.

geog was a shock too.
45.5/60.
A.
cos my answers were quite crappy so I thought I was gonna do pretty badly.
think my overall's B bah.

maths 2 was quite expected.
B.
cos I put in less effort for this as compared to maths 1 :X

physics was quite okay.
A.
so my overall is A :D
considering the fact that I failed kinematics and dynamics CT lol.

throughout all the discussion of the 8 papers, I was just sitting at my seat shaking my leg when almost half the cohort went up to claim marks lol.
could see a bird's eye view of happenings from where I was sitting.
some people were talking with the teacher for a long time haha.
and somehow I was able to notice some people who went up for every paper lol.
not saying that they're despo or what, but I think I just didn't bother to argue for any ambiguous-looking answers cos since they've gone through many hands, I trust the teachers(:

Subject ranking in terms of effort and results:
1) chem (chem)
2) bio (geog)
3) physics (physics)
4) maths 1 (maths 1)
5) geog (LA)
6) maths 2 (bio)
7) LA (maths 2)
8) HCL (HCL)

so well for 4 of the subjects, my effort = result haha.

so my overall gpa is 3.27 I think.
well okay I did reach my aim of getting >3.2, and getting >A for sciences, and getting at least 1 A+ (chem).
haha shall go treat myself to something soon (:

but hey kiddos in case you're pissed, don't get me wrong.
I'm not being an asshole here trying to complain about/show off my results or whatever.
actually those results don't really affect me lah.
I'm just proving the fact that hard work does pay off.
well most of the time.
and proving the fact that people like me who were not born to be a mugger can get reasonable results if I work hard.
and proving the fact that fantastic subject teachers do affect the results of an abit below-average-in-3J student(:
because no matter how many times I failed their CTs, they believed in me, that I was "capable of better results".
haha.

and also, wanna thank God for being there for me always, being there to hear me cry out during physics mugging, hearing me desperately hoping that post eoys would come soon.
and also for all that encouragement from my cg mates, friends and family!

my mum is proud of me.
my shepherd is proud of me.
my sheeps are proud of me.
my co-cla is proud of me.
for getting 3.27.
it may seem peanuts to some people, but to someone who thought she couldn't scrape through a 3, and yet had faith for 3.2, 3.27 means alot.
thank God for seeing me through(:


anyway today was a great day for crystabelle.
don't you think so?
:D

got back LA HCL maths 1 bio today.
hmmm mixed emotions.

LA was okay okay.
quite glad for expository essay but ._. for compre.
B for eoys.
overall is A/B.

HCL was hahahahahahaha.
C for eoys.
but it didn't affect me at all cos I'm not counting it in anyway.
overall is B.

let's talk about the disappointing one first.
abit disappointed with bio cos I put in quite alot of effort.
more than maths and LA.
put in alot of effort for sciences.
then bio got 65.5.
cos of the essay part which pulled me down - 3 line answers how much can that get lol.
eh I wasn't disappointed at first lor.
until I saw some bian tai person who got 87 ._.
then that person still come suan me somemore.
but whatever my overall still A so I was kinda phew.

and maths 1 was....
don't know how to say.
when the teacher announced that half the cohort failed, I was like )))):
cos my maths is usually below average or average, so if average is fail, means I failed.
then I got back my paper.
56/80.
I was like, "O.o I passed!!"
then I calculated the percentage.
70% right on the dot O.o
happy is not exactly a suitable adjective to describe how I felt.
I was super SHOCKED.
in a good way.
my reaction was quite big lol.
I WILL SUAN THAT PERSON BACK WITH MY MATHS 1 :D
haha but anyway think my maths 1 overall is B.

brought 2 packets of tissue to the PAC today but thank God I didn't have to use it lol.
hope I don't have to use the tissues tomorrow either.
then can use them to fold stuff ._.
caught a cold during lunch and was sneezing alot then some of my friends thought I was crying lol.
nah I'm alright, I won't cry over 3 Bs cos I'm used to it lol.

yeah so actually right now my gpa is 3?
satisfied for now.
calculated wrongly and thought it was below 3 lol.
hope it doesn't go below 3 :X
not that I would care if it's really 2.8, but I don't wanna disappoint my physical family and spiritual family mah ):

but my faith ain't wavered yet! :D
chem geog maths 2 physics tomorrow.
hope they'll pull my gpa up.

anyway on a lighter note, met my new sheep today.
so weird mann.
we were like laughing throughout the whole shepherding ._.
met another sheep too(:

Some pics from my day at sentosa!
celebrated yilian's birthday with class in the morning and afternoon.
celebrated ching's birthday with cg in the evening.



my lunch :D















Universal Studios in progress!



3J :D
















tomorrow's the day we get back our eoy papers ._.
in the PAC.
tomorrow = some mass massacre
the moment of truth.
whatever I shall bring tissue tomorrow.
though I hope I don't need it :X
hope no one else needs it either.


exam papers: go screw yourself or we're gonna kill you.

me: no no no please let me live, oh pleasssseeeeeeeee! I have only lived for a short 15 years, why do you wanna kill me?

exam papers: we used to be tall and majestic trees, and now we have been reduced to this just for your use.

me: no I wouldn't have wanted you to be killed if I had a choice!

exam papers: HECK CARE YOU. you wrote on our dead bodies and you will pay for it, we shall take your life.

me: oh I beg you noooooooo, I still have my family my friends my cg my sheeps my shepherd my dogs my bed my handphone my mp3 (...)

exam papers: oh irritating human being, just shut the crap up and get out of here ._.



if only it was that easy to escape death from eoys.
LOL.
aiyah shall listen to my sheep lah.
"Haha no must have faith!"
haha :D


(9:33 PM)

Happy 100th post at stopturnwalk!

haha can't believe it has been 100 posts already.

anyway I wanna post about change and how much I hate change.

I hate change because:
1) it results in mixed emotions, like you don't know whether to feel happy sad excited scared nervous or what.
2) it affects me and the people around me.
3) it kicks me out of my comfort zone, into combat zone
4) it means rising up to new challenges and facing more problems
5) it is a pain in the eye
6) it is a pain in the nose
7) it is a pain in the mouth
8) it is a pain in head
9) it is a pain in the chest
10) it is a pain in the ass

note: reasons 5-10 are just to take up space

I don't mind change because:
1) it helps me handle my emotions
2) it strengthens our relationships and helps us grow
3) it teaches me to adapt to the combat zone and make it comfortable (and then the whole cycle continues again)
4) it helps me to face challenges with an open heart and seek to learn from them.
5) painkillers can kill the pain
6) painkillers can kill the pain
7) painkillers can kill the pain
8) painkillers can kill the pain
9) painkillers can kill the pain
10) painkillers can kill the pain

note: reasons 5-10 are just to take up space

well change is for the better, and as much as I hate it, it ain't that bad, ain't it?
(For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.) - Jeremiah 29:11
well I guess yesterday really taught me how to be more holy spirit-led as I talked to one sheep + analysed some stuff for another sheep.
it is a time of preparation for her, and also for me.
for me to grow in godly courage, if you know what I mean.
let's grow together (:
remember the sermon yesterday: we don't need the approval of everyone, cos there'll be someone who doesn't approve. we live for the audience of One(:
(sam shared testimony ytd :D)

and okay on a lighter/heavier note, I have become a grand-shepherd O.o
feel so erm old.
(this makes leow a great-grandshepherd)
lol.
and erm I got another sheep too.
I don't know how to feel.
well I feel excited for the shepherd of my grand-sheep cos it'll be a time of growth for her(:
and for me and sam too lol.
then I also feel scared cos like, who knows what's gonna happen?
feel nervous about meeting my new sheep.
feel happy cos God is still trusting me to handle new people, even after my countless times of screwing up. unintentionally.
mixed emotions, look at reason (1).

on an even lighter note, welcome to y-hope, natasha!
hope you had fun yesterday(:
and cherv, ching, laura, mish, sha, welcome to the dmm!
more challenges along the way!
:D

-in no particular order-
sheep 1: glad that you are picking yourself up. waiting for breakthroughs! :D it's a time of preparation. stand firm in your faith kay don't let it waver, you're gonna be stronger once you overcome it(: no one is too useless to serve!

sheep 2: jiayous! go sheep you can do it. Me and sam are behind you, and God's behind you too(: and you know what, I understand what you're gonna go through cos I'm going through it too lol. share to you more soon!

sheep 3: I'm waiting for your reply dear(: be super honest kay, just wanna know how you feel about it(:

sheep 4: see you on monday! :D

why do I get sheeps who are taller than me? lol.
anyways, love yall and thanks for being in my life.
yall may not know it, but yall actually help me grow too(:
more challenges, more heart wreckings, more telepathy-ing, more communications blah blah blah.
but when we get out of them, we'll be stronger x10000000!

after mugging chem bio physics maths1 maths2 chinese LA geog,
now it's time to mug sheeps.
LOL.
my meaning of mug = attempting to understand mah.


picture post for my day at sentosa (class outing + cg) coming up in the next post.


(10:32 AM)

Thursday, October 22, 2009
Haiz tell me how unlucky I am.
both guides outing and class outing on the same day same time.
SAME PLACE AT SENTOSA somemore ._.

guides: harbourfront stn at 1130, lunch at vivo, bring picnic mat.
class: harbourfront stn at 11, lunch at vivo, bring picnic mat.

I'm going for class outing, cos well it's my first 3J outing.
and I feel I've been neglecting my classmates alot at the start of the year due to focusing too much on guides preps and all so sorry dears ):
I finally understood how talk-able the people in 3J are when I finally settled down and got to understand them better.
we are kinda like a clique-less class?(:
minor cliques but still who cares?

looking forward to tomorrow!

My Sister's Keeper came out in cinemas today!!!
I wanna go watch it soon luh.
Saw the trailer before 500 days of summer, and it rocks can.
so touching.
must go watch soon! :D


oh and did I mention what happened to me during maths 2 yesterday?
my phone alarm rang in my bag which was outside the class ._.
and being reg no 4, I sat near the corridor, and I could totally hear it.
even mingwei in front of me heard it and she turned to look outside :X
while I was at qns 3, the alarm rang and I panicked totally.
So I skipped the question cos I couldn't concentrate.
then at qns 10 my alarm rang and I got distracted again O.o
so I skipped again lol.

and you know what, there was once when the invigilator was standing at the lockers next to where I was sitting, and suddenly the alarm went on!!!
I was freaking scared kay.
I was sweating.
but anyway thank God she just walked off.
then my alarm stopped ringing after that so I had enough concentration to go back to qns 3 and I realised it wasn't that difficult lol.
as for qns 10, I did the working but when I wanted to write my answers, teacher said pens down ._.
so on my paper it was like
2x + something = (some angles)
x = (blank)

I am so careless.
didn't turn off my alarm ._.
close shave.

Eoys be gone!
whoohoo!
OVER.
YAY.
Maths 2 was abit...
but nevermind.
over liao.
no more cooping myself up in the library after school to mug!
now I shall go haunt the music atrium :D

(cryst, the lover of my favourite junior, strongly insisted that all beautiful pics of hers be removed)

p.s. ask me who my favourite junior is (:


Singapore is actually a beautiful country kay.
especially the city area.
took this on my way to EB2a cg last friday (:


so happy can.
I immediately went to find cryst and changed into jie4 tee.
then talked to my sheep about some stuff for awhile.
then went to play badminton with cryst.
haven't played since primary school.
Can't believe we sweat so much in 30mins, half court somemore O.o
oh and many interesting things happened.
we saw the same specific person 4 times today.
duck walk ftw!

went to watch 500 Days Of Summer with cryst and sookwei.
wanted to go watch with my classmates at first, but couldn't make it at 1230 ):
haha the movie was super nice.
the plot is great.
the director is so creative, and the visual effects rock kay.
music's not bad too.

tomorrow I shall go change my rusty strings ):
and hopefully it'll be cheap lol.
must start planning my holiday schedule now.
shall go run in the morning tomorrow.
hope I have the discipline to do it lol.

getting back exam scripts in PAC WOW.
can see everyone's emotions.
can't read my, can't read my, no she can't read my poker face.
LOL.

really wanna thank God for being there always even through exams and all.
remembered when I was super stressed while mugging physics, especially mugging "Moments" and "Work, energy, power".
I was close to tears cos I couldn't understand how to do those calculation questions and was super afraid like what if the test the next day were spammed with those.
then I'll die terribly.
but my heart was calmed down as I did qt and all.
no matter what the results of eoys are and will be, I will still give thanks to God.
because "when we win we praise God, when we lose we praise God."
quoted from the movie "Facing The Giants".
It was the movie that was screened when I first stepped into y-hope(:
see I still can remember lol.


(8:12 PM)

Tuesday, October 20, 2009
last paper tomorrow.
:D
physics today was...
okay some people said it was freaking easy, some people said it was super difficult.
so far I haven't heard any in-betweens.
I think I'd go with the difficult end :X
well anyway who cares.
it's over it's over tomorrow's the last paper!


(10:10 PM)

Sunday, October 18, 2009
I am here to express my undying love for maths 2, especially trigo 2 and 3 identities.
they rock so much can.
I love them to bits and pieces.
I'd rather be proving identities than doing polynomials.
and I'd rather be drawing trigo graphs than doing discrimants and all.

but sadly, trigo identities don't love me ):
cos they don't let me finish them up quickly.

mugging physics with sherly at bedok tomorrow.
hope it'll be productive.
dmm meeting before that (:
hope it'll be productive too lol.


brief outline of things to buy after eoys:
- drumsticks from yamaha/bras basah
- new guitar strings from bras basah
- new sermon book from artbox/urbanwrite
- new qt book from artbox/urbanwrite
- scrapbook materials from urbanwrite
- ess gifts

brief outline of things to do after eoys including holidays:
- shepherdings
- complete 'Lips Of An Angel'
- learn 'Diary Of Jane'
- swimming
- badminton
- catching
- learn something new
- take some time to review and clear doubts from subjects that I did badly for 2009 (so that the basics will be there for year 4)

brief outline lol.
might have to add more.


(9:00 PM)

did some self evaluation yesterday, and many things just came to my mind.
like stuff that I did in the past came flowing into my brain.
something like a recollection lol.

there was once for this maths CT that was really a true test of my integrity.
I received it back and got 11/20.
At first I thought to myself, not too bad, well it's above the class average.
like how rare it is for me to get above class average.
Then I counted the marks and realised 2 more marks were not counted in, so I should have gotten 13.
well of course anyone will want the 2 extra marks regardless of what our original marks were right.
so I decided to go up and find her at the end lesson.

then while going through the paper, I found an ambiguous mistake worth 1 mark.
the answer was -3.
well during the test, my initial answer was -3, but in the end I changed my answer by canceling the negative sign.
so on the paper it looked a little something like this --> ~3.
so probably ms lim saw it as -3 and marked it correct.

so basically I should have gotten 12.
well after all, 13 is better than 12, and who knows what that 1 mark could have done.
it's 65% vs 60%.
I mark was 5% more.
I was having some emotional argument in my mind.
whether or not to inform about the 1 mark less I should've gotten.
initially I just wanted to claim the 2 extra marks and keep mum about the -3 answer.
I even gave myself the excuse, "aiyah, later ms lim scold me for not canceling properly."

so I went up at the end of the lesson, planning to only claim the 2 marks.
then while I was waiting in line for some other people who went to clarify stuff, suddenly I was reminded of the word of God, and how I should be honest and all.
and how I should be salt and light.
I was reminded to stay true to what I've been taught.
so somehow I just told ms lim, and she didn't scold me for not writing clearly(:

well that 0.2% could have caused me to cross the borderline from B to C.
maybe from 60.0 to 59.8. (if they don't round up)
or 59.5 to 59.3 (if they round up)
don't know.
but even if I had that extra mark, I would not be able to live up to my conscience.
so thank God for reminding me about my moral values.

I'm so lame right.
this kind of thing also can remember.
lol.
yeah I remember many random things.


(11:48 AM)

Saturday, October 17, 2009
today's service was really refreshing.
sermon was about dealing with distractions and defamations etc.
and about godly courage.

before lunch, dennis challenged the whole East to plan our holidays properly and not just slack around/play com everyday and all.
to really utilise our free days we have, so that we don't look back and regret wasting our holiday away.
and anyway I love the new location lol.


I hate change.
but change is for the better.
I hate opening my golden mouth and being direct.
but being direct helps us be specific and straight to the point.

thanks shepherd.


anyways jiayous for the remaining papers!!!
:D
it'll be over soon.
really soon.


(8:30 PM)

Friday, October 16, 2009
maths paper and HCL 1 today.
maths was...
haiz screwed.
well everyone screwed it anyway.
hope they will raise the grade :D
and I got B for jap lol.
so seems like I have to rely on LA for language in L1B5.
if my LA can even get A overall.

my aim is at least 3.2.
or at least above 3.
not very demanding what right.
not like I'm aiming for 3.6 or what.
I just don't want to pull down my class average by so much.
though by getting 3.4 in sem1 I have successfully pulled the class average down by alot.
sorry 3J.
I can't help it that I'm not as smart as you guys :X
though I really thought 3.4 was not bad?
until I heard condemnations on 3.6 ):
but I did try my best lahhh.
and I will try my best not to pull it down so much this time(:
I hope.

hope I'll be refreshed by God during service tomorrow.
actually I've been refreshed during qt too lol.
and hope that district lunch will be a good time of fellowship.

crashed EB2a cg at kallang macs today lol.
I meant to go there just for fun but it actually turned out rather useful.
it was a good time of evaluation.
in fact I feel it's really effective and efficient.
learnt more from EB2a and how they carry out cg(:

step out of my comfort zone.
okay tomorrow will be a test of my promise.
like what ain't eoys enough?
and I have to go through more tests.
LOL haha bring it on mann.
we'll grow through testings :D
God tests us because He sees that we're ready.
So, God really thinks that I'm ready :D
I feel honoured lol.
haha.

anyway I wanna say thank you to my mum for understanding me.
cos she's now overseas.
through sms:

mum: How's your paper today?

me: maths today was... minus 10 plus plus marks alr cos it was super difficult.

mum: nevermind as long as you have tried your best.

(:
but still I will try my best(:

hey guys don't get me wrong, I'm not emo-ing over 10 plus marks.
I'm stating a fact.
what you want me to say?
"oh erm I think I lost 10 plus marks plus careless mistakes so it'll be 20 plus 30 plus marks ):"
why be so pessimistic?
(although I think I am that careless)
sorry, self-denial mode now.
lol.

anyway I just feel like posting my views about the Ris Low incident.
Some people are like still condemning her over it.
I mean come on, how long has it been already?
move on people.
She's just another imperfect human, just like us.
I do agree that someone more articulate should have been chosen to represent Singapore, but it's not her fault that she had a slip of the tongue.
I mean sometimes we do slip and fumble over long words when we converse right.
just that sometimes we don't go back and correct them.
well for the credit card fraud thing...
yeah it goes against the rules, so she should not be allowed to participate.
but still it doesn't give us a reason to condemn her over the credit card thingy right.
she's already out of the competition what, what more do people wanna say?

anyway sorry if anyone disagrees luh, but that's just my take on this.


(10:06 PM)

Updates on my life status for eoys.
1% batt left.
lol no luh.
I don't know.

LA, geog and chem were quite okay.
but that doesn't guarantee my mark range :X
and bio was...
one word.
screwed.
I'm certainly sure that I have been jinxed/cursed today.
someone must have made a voodoo doll and poked it )):
that's why my bio's like that.
shame on you jinxer.
you jinxed a poor random innocent girl who meant you no harm at all )):
yes you, hope you screw maths 1 tomorrow(:

hahaha lol ._.
kay lah I brought it upon myself luh.

I studied kay.
I studied one week ago too, but I just couldn't do the paper.
okay I did the paper, but my answers were crap.
It was like I'm just writing an answer there to fill up the blank spaces.
look at my essay, four-liner for a 6-mark question WOW.
ownage.

mugged maths with nicole in classroom.
and guess what, I napped from 330 - 400.
lying on the lockers ._.
but it was a good rest haha.
the school seemed super deserted :X
and we were talking about post-eoys plan on the way home.
catching! :D
hide and seek! :D
gonna find people to play with us lol.

remember those primary school days when we could practically run around the concourse/parade square and play ice and water?
or crocodile?
or 'what time is it?'
or hide and seek?
so fun right.


Maths 1
HCL 1
Physics
HCL 2
Maths 2

I can taste freedom nearing already.


(9:37 PM)

Monday, October 12, 2009
LA today was okay.
rhymes.
slept earlier than usual yesterday.

did the one on leadership and the one about family and friends influencing one's actions.
cos leadership - did during ACE.
family and friends - did during BBYD essay.
don't know luh, hope it'll go well.
geog tomorrow.

ppl are like, "I can't get A+ for this subject, I give up, I'm not counting it in my GPA."
and I'm like, "I can't get A+ for this subject but I think I can get A if I work hard, I'm so counting it in my GPA."
you know why?
cos I have no A+s! :D
LOL ._.
so obviously I'm counting a few Bs inside too.
"your Bs and Cs could have been all As" - Josh's parents in Bang Bang You're Dead.
Thank God I'm not Josh, if not I would have shot everyone and everything.
seriously they're so pressurising.
Thank God my mum ain't like that.
if not I would have left home by now, perhaps I'd be smoking in the streets with my hair dyed hot pink or somewhat.
O.o

mugging with cryst in library was fun today.
she has weird but entertaining classmates(:
and I'm beginning to agree with her that a certain person is quite chio.
lol.
cryst is gonna kill me when she sees this oops :X
and it was fun writing geog on the whiteboard in discussion room lol.
drawing the concentric + sector + multiple nuclei + southeast asian model.
and comparing our geog and hist stuff.

had a 15-minute nap just now.
maybe tomorrow I shall nap abit in school too :D
but meeting sam for awhile first.
since geog ends at 1030.
some people must be thinking I have alot of time.
LOL.
nap awhile nia.
if I were to go home I'd nap the whole day can ._.

so jailing myself in the library with my inmate cryst (how terrible!) is a good way to discipline myself cos it's rather effective(:
cos she keeps me awake.
why?
cos I can practise rolling my tongue and highlight words on cryst's paper that start with the letter R (cryst's favourite letter)

increase in concentration = increase in frequency of effective collisions between reacting particles.
so I must concentrate more so that my brain cells and memory disk can react more efficiently.

Ouch my heart has been pierced through by the double-edged sword.
ouch.

today at sermon we learnt about resolving conflicts.
with cross reference from Nehemiah 5.
1) be specific.
2) be direct.
3) practise accountability to your leaders/shepherds.

I have to resolve my conflicts.
so I shall start with resolving conflicts between me and my cg mates.
argh it hurts to do so.
I don't dare to speak up.
I don't want to open my golden mouth and talk frank.
I don't want to do it.
I really don't want to do it.
like what if the people I talk to take offense?
maybe if I just shut up, things will go on normally like before.
okay fine no I must do it, if not I will implode/explode.

okay go cherisse.
be obedient to the word of God.
just do it.

well I have to resolve my conflicts with cg mates whom I think they:
- misunderstand my emotions/actions
- get the wrong message from me

must do it soon.
cos if the cg is divided, if the cg is not united, we'll never grow, cos we can't even stand.
what more walk.

shepherd if you're reading this, expect to hear from me soon.
I'm gonna account to you(:
any of my cg mates/unit mates/district mates reading this, you are my witness that I will resolve my conflicts(:
soon.


"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6

This was the 'exam verse' for EB2 last year.
one year has past.
wow.
and we have grown from like less than 10 to 20+.
and we will continue to grow(:


"I am physically and mentally drained from mugging, I can't cram anything more into my head!" - cherisse

"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." - Isaiah 40:31

"I am super nervous. What if I don't understand the questions? What if I have a mental block? What if I can't finish the paper?" - cherisse

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." -John 14:27

the last friday before eoys.
gah.
only got back science CA2 grades.
A+ for chem, A for bio, B for physics.
not bad so must jiayous even more for eoys!

mugged physics with cryst and siyao in library today.
saw a super chio person a few tables away.
cryst refused to look in that direction cos she felt that the above mentioned person was too chio for her eyes to take.
too chio.
((:

actually she had seen this chio person in school a few times, but she had always been avoiding this chio person cos she didn't want this chio person to say hi to her ._.
cos she doesn't want to reminded that the chio person is too chio.

anyway today in class a few of us exchanged spectacles and examined how we looked in wenting's iPhone mirror.
lol.
too boliao already(:

"Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea." Thorpe Molloy
Amanda asked me to post this.

anyway I just feel like writing an essay outline.
for fun.

"Fingers shouldn't be pointed at someone when rumours are heard." Do you agree with the statement? EYA.

I agree. (too lazy to type intro)

Point: the victim is totally not into it, it's all just an exaggeration.
Evidence: the victim's conscience is clear.
Elaboration: the victim does not giggle to act cute, does not act demure to gain attention.
Link: Having a clear conscience = not guilty = the rumours have been exaggerated by unknown sources

Point: it will be very hurtful for the victim
Evidence: victim does not dare to see certain people cos they will suan the victim
Elaboration: victim takes different routes and avoids these people
Link: results in victim living in fear of being scrutinised, hurt because it wasn't the victim's fault.

Point:
Evidence:
Elaboration:
Link:
too lazy to think of a 3rd point ._.

Acknowledgment of the other side of the argument:
-normal to gossip, since it is prevalent in Singapore schools.
-however, no one is to be blamed for things that go wrong, because it is normal for everyone to have emotions.

Conclusion:
too lazy to type conclusion ._.


am I being observant or what?
lol.
hope something similar comes out :D
maybe something like "teenagers point fingers because all their friends are doing so."

argh LA.

So I went around the class demanding my wallet back from any random person lol.

then before LA lecture she took out the wallet from her under her table and put it on mine ._.
so I O.o-ed at her.

taking some relax-time-out to blog(:
more or less successfully sticking to my study plan bah.
this week is filled with mug dates.
mon - sherly and nic
tues - laura
wed - cg
thurs - fiona
fri - siyao
intensive mug-mode lol.

yesterday's sermon was cool.
'how to handle criticisms and discouragement'.
I totally needed that.
especially the part about discouragements and all.
lol.

anyways.
I have thought of some stuff for my post-eoys plan.
briefly!
lol I'm not distracted kay.
haha yesterday I smsed nicole whether wanna like ask a few people to play badminton after eoys.
she said she was thinking of sports too.
great minds think alike :D

oh I remembered I promised to teach wenyi guitar too lol.
oops and sally too.
haha I think sally forgot about it already :P

during eoys period:
the trend observed - the basketball crowd + the canteen crowd + the classroom crowd are now concentrated in the library.
aka agglomeration in the library is observed - people who have been spending their after-school hours eating and chatting and playing are now mugging in the library.
agglomeration - industries (students) concentrate in a region (library) due to favourable conditions (for mugging)

advantages:
- maximise use of infrastructure (discussion rooms and tables and chairs)
- easy access to related facilities e.g financial services (many people around, so you can feel free to ask and clear your doubts)
- reputation attracts other foreign investors (other students)

disadvantages:
- space constraints
- high levels of pollution (noise pollution)

I'm typing all these as I mug geog O.o
therefore I agree to the statement that agglomeration and its consequences are not confined to industries alone.
._.

haiz.
some people just can't stop bringing up the past.

so tempted to come up with a post-exam daily plan.
since I've come up with a 3-week study plan, 3-week post exam plan shouldn't be much of a hassle.
lol.
but that'll be planned after eoys luh.
