THURSDAY
saw barry on ET in the morning!(:
and then mr tay didnt come for Chinese lesson again....so we had to do some other worksheet....yuck.
and its official. im redoing sec 3 again. went for this advisory program thing. and then mr ng was explaining. and he made it seem ok to stay back. like explain that i came back mid year and only had few months to prepare. and even with that, some subject teachers thought that it wasnt bad and if i had the whole year, i would do really well. so im doing sec 3 again( at least im not the only one) and they are letting me take the same subjects.
FRIDAY
last day of school!
got back report book. up till now, i still havent seen it yet. heh heh
then met with teachers. well, i was suppose to meet mr chia but then i didnt know if i was suppose to meet mr wong. so i was just sitting there waiting. and then mr chia came in. and he basically gave the same talk as mr ng. except this was longer...way longer.
something along the line of 'i want you to know the reason why you are redoing sec 3. we dont want you to feel its because your results are sucky or whatever but given the circumstances, you were able to produce such results and its not bad so we're giving you another year and you will definitely do better.' and stuff like that. and they make it seem as if i was feeling suicidal
then met jerlyn. we went to swensens and bought ice cream(: i needed some cheering up.
and while ordering, you know what she asked?
so there was this dish which was otah spring roll. and she asked the waiter, 'whats in this?'
then waiter was like 'otah'
hahas. i was like ' thats like asking if....'
and she helped me finished 'are chicken wings made of chicken?'
and i said 'no, they are made of duck.' and we started cracking up
and then we walked around tampines mall and then went to tampines 1. bought a magazine which i planned to read at the jogathon. after that, we were job hunting for jerlyn. only managed to find 2.
then i was rushing to bedok reservoir for the jogathon. and i was late for my league of the jog so i was switched to run with eunice and doreen. and before we ran, we had to assemble first and mr chiang was kinda leading us through cheers first. and a few people werent following along. and the was this girl brigade girl. and mr chiang was like 'your mom told you not to talk to strangers ah? but im not a stranger. im mr chiang. let me introduce myself. hi im mr chiang and you are? so now can you open your mouth?' hahas. hilarious.
then we ran for like 1.3km. it was ok. and then, eunice and i were walking back and we were like at the middle of the track. and suddenly we heard 'chosen generation, move to the side' it was mr chiang. we were laughing.
then eunice, doreen, mario and i went to buy drinks. and then mario kept saying there was this store that sells drinks and then he said' actually, i lied. i just wanted to bring you guys here to see the birds.' i started screaming. and he was laughing. then we passed by this cat which was cute and two other cats.
and while walking back, we realised that there was a bubbletea shop just like right opposite of where we started walking. so we were all mad at mario. and then we walked back. and there was this game of sumo wrestling which was super funny.
and then we met mr k and chi yue. they were like 'hey! where did you guys get the drinks?!?!' and we said 'uh, we bought it over there'
then we went back to where we put our bags and by then i was done with my milo and i was still thirsty so eunice, doreen and i went back to the bubbletea shop. i bought bubbletea and they bought french fries.
then we walked back and saw chi yue and mr k again, this time with bubbletea in their hands. they said that they couldnt find us and we said that we couldnt find them. ohya, i was reading the magazine i bought earlier. i stayed back to chat while eunice and doreen went back to the bags there. mr k was like 'super fantastic. reading magazine. well done karen.' i was like 'we're going to be here for like 4 hours and only going to be occupied for like 30 mins?'
then we were suppose to gather at the tent there. and had this ceremony thing.
then we went home and there were tons of people waiting for bus. and then by the time i reached the interchange, it was raining heavily. but thank God that He held the rain(:the jogathon was fun(:

then it was chinese lesson. mr tay wasnt there. dunno why, thought i saw him walking in the hallways. and i dont think that i was seeing stuff.
so in chinese, we had to do this reflection. i seriously didnt know what to write. then we had to do formal letter writing. havent even start on it and class was over. so i did it as homework.
in geog, i was super tired, dunno why. almost fell asleep in class. then it started raining and everyone was just looking out of the windows. hahas.
and during recess, played some card games. kinda confusing.
after that, for english, we did TYS coz teacher didnt come.
and after school, the aircon finally came!(:

today there's school again........bleah.......
the morning proceeding is super long...and it was under the hot sun. something about cca colors?
and social studies was in the auditorium. and for some reason, the lesson is combined with 3E.
and for english, many ppl were gone because of the sec 2 choosing subjects thing. so in english, barely did anything.
and for geog, it passed fast. dunno why. and realised one thing. reading up the chapter before the teacher teaches it really help. seriously. did it and at least it made the lesson not that boring.
then during chem, it was super fun because mr lai was showing us all this funny videos.
then after school was the inter cca games thing. i was supposed to play softball but then it was cancelled because not enough girls playing. so then by the time we knew it, only captain's ball was left and thats for lower sec....... so a few of us went to ask if we could leave and they said yes.
after that went to the mall with eunice.
then got a text from mrs tan. she is super angry. i dont even know why....
oh well, guess we'll find out tomorrow.....ahhh, i have chinese tomorrow.......

i finally can wake up late! woke up at like 10.30. by then the people taking physics already finished their paper. and i just woke up. hahas.
i studied math the whole day and i realised something. its really easy to be careless when doing emath. seriously. but once you understand something, its really easy. so have been doing tys the whole day. and i think i can pass the paper(:
FRIDAY(today)
needed to eat breakfast but didnt have time to eat cereal so just grabbed some cookies. doesnt taste that good....
then while walking to school, met mrs toh and walked in together.
reached class and started studying math. ok, not really study, just read through formulas and stuff.
after that, morning assembly. omg, the morning devotion was super funny! colin did the morning devotion and the topic was 'the red balloon'. and he kept repeating that its a red balloon. and my teacher was like' wow, i never seen one before' lol(: then suddenly uncle roger shouted that 'no! its not red. its green!' and just nice, he was wearing a green shirt. and then mr koh shouted 'no! its yellow!' and then mr chiang said 'no no no. im more senior and i say that the balloon is white.' and he was wearing white......huh... and then everyone started clapping. hahas. its hilarious(:
math exam!!! it wasnt as bad as i thought. i think its finally a math paper that i can pass(: so happy. thank God(: ok, although i didnt know how to do like a few questions but not as in the whole question but just parts of it.
then went to eat lunch and we went to the bubbletea shop and ate there. and we were carrying our bags and the lady gave us chairs to put our bags. so nice(:
ohya, there's this freaking person that called me like 6 times? long story.....so creepy
then stayed back for chem. kept laughing my head off because weina kept singing and making up stupid lyrics..... and that, she kept imitating teachers. laughed even more. until mr lai said that ears were red. cant blame me...(:
and beginning when weina and i just reached school and just started doing chem, mr lai came down and saw that i was doing the mole worksheet.
mr lai: eh, you do the more simple worksheets first. this one a bit hard. later you cannot do then so demoralising.
me: but then exam wont come out all those simple questions...
mr lai: how do you know?

SATURDAY
studied the whole day.
and i found out that there's social studies for o'level. so that means that i have 9 papers. oh great.
plus, i have ss exam this week and i didnt understand one of the chapters(which is bonding in singapore, i dont understand this but i understand all the conflict in sri lanka and northern ireland...) so i texted mr koh and asked him if he was free on monday. let me put it in the conversation form again.
me: hey mr koh, karen here. i was wondering, are you free on monday after school?
mr koh: i'll be seeing some people from 3c. you can join in. what do you need help in? cover content or sbq skills?
me: um, cover content.
mr koh: which chapter?
me: uh....chapter 5?
mr koh: how about tuesday?
me: (i suddenly remembered that tuesday after school there's chinese) i think i have chinese on that day.......nvm, i'll let you know again.
mr koh: ok.
but then on monday, i have chemistry....and on wednesday, its reserved for studying whatever. so the only day left is wednesday coz after that is exams.
headache.....
SUNDAY
chatted with catherine on msn!
so you know that if i was still there, i would be in the same science class with her and the science teacher would be the same one i had last year?!?! i was like 'what the...'
and one of our friends, aya, she's homeschooled now because her parents think that she doesnt have any friends in school. uh....are you freaking kidding me? i think thats just wrong.
after that amath tuition. we studied trigo! suprisingly, i understood what the teacher was saying. then why didnt i get it in class?????
anyways, after that i went home and i saw the book that my dad asked uncle desmond to bring back for me. THANKS(:
then, i had to rush to chemistry tuition. our teacher is sick so we are joining another class....the teacher is uh...........i think she's pretty smart but when she tries to explain.....it just maes it worse..
so then when i went back home, had to rush to go church. and i was doing my english homework at the same time....write an introduction in whether you think illegal downloading of music should be banned.
when we got home, i texted mr tay to ask him if i could skip the chinese in tuesday thing.
me: ( i texted in chinese of course. although it was so tempting to do it in english) mr tay, im karen. after school on tuesday, can i not stay back? coz i have to meet my social studies teacher and thats the only day im free.
mr tay: but thats paper 2 test!
me: oh so that means i have to go....ok.
mr tay: yes!
ok.....so by then, i had a major headache....
then i got online and chatted with jerlyn on msn! finally! she had a lot of free time....when i came back, i was rushing here and there....
MONDAY
for pe, we played softball again. it was fun! we kept hitting teachers' cars. hahas. and one of the cars that got hit the most was mr lai's(:
after pe was recess and after that was social studies. but guess what? mr koh didnt come. i was like' oh great..'
after that was english. went through essay writing. didnt pay much attention because for some reason, i wasnt in the mood to classes...
after school went home and left for school again. hahas. chemistry....
TUESDAY
last geog lesson. and we didnt do much...and considering the fact that i havent studied like 3 chapters......im dead..
and during chinese, we had listening compre. not some practice but for final year exam. the last story was ridiculous. but, i passed!!!!!!!!! although it was just passed 10/20...a lot of people got that though....
then it was math. she gave revision papers and guess what?! i can do log!!!(:
and after school, chinese. the paper was super hard. if end of year is going to be like that.....so help me God...
WEDNESDAY
last day of school before exams!!!
during homeroom, mr wong was telling what the minimium attainment to be promoted to sec 4 was. you have to pass english and two other subjects. better than i expected.
and then it was history. while waiting for 3j to finish their lessons, we were waiting outside their class. and i was reading a book. so i was reading and then mr bakar walked past and said 'what are you reading karen?' i was like, how does he know my name? and then, ohya.....nametag....duh. by the time i looked up, he already passed me so i turned around and looked. he was also looking this way and walked towards me. he looked at the book and said something about his wife liking it too? i was like good to know(: ..... hahas. so random.
and during math, i can do partial fractions!!! so happy(:
during chinese, mr tay gave back the test we took, not the paper 2 one but the paper 1 one. omg............my results were so ): ....although i just saw the results for one of them...heh heh. however, weina was depressed too. but for an entirely different reason. she lost her wallet.
so once class ended and after i took everything from under my desk, we went to the canteen to see if its still there.
its not.
we went to the lost and found and she asked the lady there if someone turned in a wallet.
she nodded her head. weina asked if its pink. and the lady nodded her head again and gave it to weina. wow. all of a sudden, just like that, she was so happy and hyper..wanted to smack her...
then we went to my house so that i can dump everything at home and not carry them everywhere. after that, we ate prata. almost couldnt finish it.
while eating, mr koh texted-karen, when are you coming to see me
i was like looking at weina and showed her the text. she was like 'huh? so you going to see him? then we no need to study already lah....'
so i replied: omg......are you free tomorrow?
he said: are you in school now? today better coz got students meeting him tomorrow.
by the time i saw that, i was back in school.
and i said: i am, but im studying for other subjects till like 5? unless its like after that.....
he replied: ok.
then i got confused ok as in he got it or ok as in after 5. so....
i asked: uh, so after 5?
he said: yes. (then like 5 seconds after that) will you be tired?
what a question....so what if i said i was? then i'll meet him tomorrow? but got people meeting him tomorrow....
then i said: nah.....so meet where?
he said: canteen.
i thought i asked him a pretty stupid question because i could already see that he was in the canteen with someone else....but after a long day at school, you cant really think straight...hahas.
then while studying, we were stuck at this math question and just nice, weina's amath teacher and mr k walked out. at first i just looked up and down at the paper again. then i was like 'isnt one of them my teacher?' so i looked up again and yup, mr k. so i waved to him. then after he got back from wherever he went, he came and asked am i doing ok. i was like 'uh. no?' he was like 'why?' i said 'because! its so stressful' and do you know what he said? 'but doesnt make you feel more alive?' i said under my breath 'if anything, it makes a person feel like he doesnt want to be alive...' hahas.
and then met mrs toh! she asked why we were still at school? did we punish ourselves or someone punish us. hahas. we said that we were studying and she sadi why do it there, there's no wind. and when she left, about 5 mins later, a gust of wind came and blew our papers down the the first level. hm....no wind huh. lol(:
then went down to the canteen for social studies...didnt have much time to study with weina...and we went through chapter 5, bonding singapore. about ahlfway through, mr lai walked down and then asked me if weina found her wallet. i was like 'yah'. he asked 'at the canteen?' i said 'oh no, at the lost and found. yah.' then, mr ali and mr koh were both like 'damn lucky!' hahas. and mr lai said 'smsed me that she lost her wallet. i replied back tell me for what?' hahas. that was funny, started laughing my head off(:
around 6.20, finished ss. and by then, there were quite a number of sec 4 people there coz of the night study. they will be at the creativity hall for self study.
and after that, went home and studied english. kept reading essays. NEXT DAY ENGLISH EXAM!!!
THURSDAY
english exam!!! paper one was kinda ok. i did the first question which was what are the advantages and disadvantages of listening to music. and i read a similar essay the night before!(: and you know what? the last topic was 'luck' and i read an essay about it too! and if i memorised it, i could just dump that whole thing there! man.....
paper 2 was ok too. but by the time i got to passage B, i was suddenly super tired. so to me passage B was confusing...
went got home, studied social studies.....next day, exam again..........
FRIDAY
social studies exam-sbq was hard! didnt finish the exam!!!!!! i was doing sbq and when i got to 1(d), i didnt know how to do, so i skipped to the essay questions. i did the conflict and bonding singapore one(: so my ss exam, i lost 7 marks....
after that, went with jiawen, clarissa, jeslyn and daniel to century square for lunch. at first, we were suppose to study too but......hahas. then about 12.15, we head back to school for chem. guess what? he only went through that worksheet which had only about 2 to 3 questions....we waited for like 2 hours for him to go through that few questions........
after i went back home, i studied geog. i know im suppose to study chinese, but no chinese could get into my head so...
and then went down to buy dinner, guess who we saw?! pastor chee!!!(: havent seen him for a long time.
after eating dinner studied geog again and glanced through chinese.....
after that, watched amazing race!!(: i mean, i have to tae a break if not i'll go crazy.
SATURDAY
man, im so tired even after like 9 to 10 hours of sleep.....
i studied chinese(: *pats myself on the back* finally....
then saw my dad's email. something about seeing which poster i wanted, you know those deco things that you hang on the wall? yah, so i chose one of them. and then he called and he said that nvm, i'll just take both of them(: how nice(: and do you know that he packed like 50+ boxes already? wow.....i think thats all he does there now... and he bought stuff for my teachers? those who helped me, as in like one to one, i think.....so there's like 6? hahas.
and just downstairs, there's pasar malam! man, all those food.....
and last but not least, studied geog.....only got through one chapter.....
SUNDAY
early in the morning started studying geog...
then went for math tuition. we did trigo again! why is it that i understand what he's saying and can do all the questions on the worksheet but once it comes to like tys and stuff, im stuck...
and you know what he said? he said that my math is pretty good, im able to do all the questions and understand what he's teaching, if only i came back earlier...i was like 'yah........' heard that tons of times already....if i came back earlier....
after that, went to chem tuition. on the way there, i went to eastpoint to find popular. went all the way to the 6th floor and couldnt find it...when i came down, realised that it was on the 4th floor. but then i only had like 5 mins left till tuition. so i rushed to tuition. i think my chem is better now coz at least i knew how to do like 70% of the questions? yay!(:
after that went popular and bought HI5 for my sister.....my mom asked me to buy....$14.90....
then went to church. ended up studying there too...geog(:
and now, have no choice but to study for chinese......
