The rest are for me to know, and for you to find out.
Let's start from.. Thursday! The previous week, we skipped school on thursday because there's hcl paper 1 and geography mock papers. This week, we skipped on thursday again, for the same reason! :P
That morning, Mr Goh called my phone at 8+am, waking me up from my sleep, and i answered it. Mr Goh: Why never come school today? Me: Huh. Orh. Headache. Mr Goh: Nevermind i call your mum's handphone.
Then i hung up. Cursed and sweared to myself, and went back to sleep. =x I was awaken by my mum's call shortly. Nagged etc, but lucky she wasn't flaring like last time, since i described with all my might how useless going to school now is. Like seriously, they just give us some mock papers, and don't bother to collect or make sure we're doing it. So we always end up chattering, sleeping, slacking etc. Before we know it, the bell rings.
4G's attendance broke record that day luh. 20/44. Hahaha.
Anyway, i studied most of the day on thursday okay! Wrote several full pages of geography notes :D
The next day, mr goh demanded MCs from all those who were absent. He had told them to bring MC, all but me, and i wonder why.
Friday and saturday, went on a shopping spree with mum! But bought mostly her stuffs, cause she's going to Spain for 10 days, and need formal party clothes to wear. She bought a few stuffs for me too (: Mum away, means i'll be alone, but freeeee! :D But the house would be in a mess i guess. Lucky she'll be back by o's.
I WANNA WATCH F1 Singapore Grand Prix. It's so damn cooooool! But i've no ticket and it's over already :(
Graduation. Of course i can't bear to graduate. But somehow, i don't feel as reluctant as before. Maybe due to boring school days recently. Also due to the excitement of getting into my dream poly course. But something made me feel more like moving on. It's my wanting to search for true friends. Close friends who are sincere, friends who won't leave me out, friends who have nothing to hide. No, i don't think i've found such friends yet. Is there something wrong with me? I'd like to know. Cause one wouldn't know how he looks like, unless there's a mirror to show his reflection.
Motivation. Thought of trying to write something motivating for fellow friends taking o level. But before that, i'd like to inform you that i'm not very motivated and disciplined, and i don't study all day, and i still go online till late at night. Blah. Just trying to be good? But i hope what i'm gonna type would motivate myself as well.
20 more days to o's, for me at least. I always shudder at the thought of the number of days left. Even when i shower, i think of o's all the way. The pre-o's symptoms, i suppose.
I'm sure everyone wants to do well, and get into their dream school and course. It would be a like dream come true. Everyone wishes they'll scream for joy after seeing their results. You don't wanna get back your results, and regret not clearing your doubts earlier. Maybe it's that particular question, you could have gotten it correct if you have read that one sentence in the textbook, but you didn't. It could have been that maths question that you've gotten wrong before, but didn't bother to do correction, hence you still couldn't do it when the question came out for o's.
NO REGRETS. Don't let yourself look back and think that you could have done better.
Some sentences i've thought of to motivate myself: - The more you put in, the more you get. You reap what you sow. - Maybe if i spend one more hour in this, i'll get a grade higher. - If i do well, (inserts rewards) will be mine! - It's just a very short time, work your ass off, you'll get over it soon and enjoy life after that! - How much you put in now determines your future.
Motivated? Hahaha. Doubt so. Tell me if it helps anyway yeah? I'll be glad to hear that. Hee. JIAYOU!!!! xD
Publicity: Btw, zx gave me this link to awesome wedding photos by William Chua. I suppose he was inspired as he took photos at his sis's wedding. Do take a look, i like those in the second page more. And they are really, really beautiful. http://williamchua.com/v2/index2.php
Xiaxue's blog has super ugly photos of her past and dawn yang's! Go see. Aha.
And lastly, an advertisement i saw in facebook: Free Ice Cream on 1/10/08 To celebrate Children's Day, P.Osh is giving away free single Häagen-Dazs scoops to people aged 0-19. No purchase needed! Dhoby Xchange, B1-40.
Don't know how true it is, and how many people would be there. Just being kind again! :D http://www.eposh.net/
This is darn funny at the back!

I didn't add any colour gradient to it, colours are original :D
Following 6 pictures credits to edward. The following 2 pictures, credits to dearie. Something cool..
As you can see, some of those photos of us playing candles are on the actual day of mid autumn, last sunday. We met at darl's house, took some retarded pictures, ate, went down to play. I made all the rockets, and made so many, but only one was successful =/ Okay lah, not bad for a first-timer? I only saw zx making two the day before okay. Hahaha.
A video on the successful rocket. We went crazy after that xD
Shall briefly talk about the week.
Monday to Wednesday, was doing mock papers all the way. Wasn't serious since the teachers don't collect.
Thursday, my clique and edward decided to pon school because there were geog & hcl paper 1 mock papers. So we met up in the noon to study at BK. I left first in the evening for dental appointment. Met up with zx and headed to orchard, then played pool at cineleisure. Well, he kept letting me win =/ But thanks anyway, or i might have lost in every round? Hahs. He has 'pattern more than badminton'. Hahaha. } And when the ball was too far for me to reach, he would stand near the ball and put his hand there to support my stick, so i just had to adjust his hand and poke the ball. xD Had dinner at pasta mania, then home.
Friday after school, watched Disaster Movie with dearie, jaslin and shiyun. How's the movie? The name says it all. THE MOVIE WAS A TOTAL DISASTER INDEED. It was absurd and ridiculous. Renowned characters from other movies, famous people and celebrities, like hannah montana, amy winehouse, enchanted, sex and the city, iron man, kungfu panda, alvin & the chipmunks, beowulf, indiana jones, justin timberlake, high school musical, step up, night at the museum etc (too many to list) are acted in the movie. In conclusion, the movie sucks.
Anyway after that, we went to causeway point to shop, then went to watch the Youth Talent Charity Concert @ Republic Polytechnic. I didn't feel like going at first as it starts quite late at 8pm, but relented. I can say i didn't regret going :D The tickets for us were free as dancers from our school are performing there, i suppose. We were 'wow'-ing when we reached the school, as it was really beautiful.
Saw many cchy, PA and zingo people, including joey sunnv! :D The performance was great :D It appeals to us as performers are mostly teenagers. Performances include drum, erhu, dance by our sec 3s, kuaiban, dance by Dance Inspiration, malay soprano singing chinese song with guzheng accompaniment, NUS chinese dance, magic, bells and diabolo, mtv dance by musicforest, singing & dancing by By2(shiyun's a huge fan of them), and cheerleading by NP's magnum force.
Regarding prom: Doubt i'll be going, as no one around me are going. Mainly due to the price i guess. Many of us had discussed about suggestions to give the organizers, wrote on a piece of paper in a polite tone and handed to them. But since the organizers didn't make any changes, we decided to give prom a miss. D: For me, what's graduation without prom night? But firstly, what's prom night without friends?
} Mingshuang just contacted me and tried to explain any misunderstandings, so prom is still under discussion now..
Regarding results: Of course, my results suck. People who did well would usually go around asking for other people's results. And then, they put their SS SBQ skills to use, COMPARE and CONTRAST. People who didn't do well can only wallow in their sorrow. They would wish no one else sees their results. But that doesn't happen. After those who did well come to compare & contrast, they would just feel worse. Can't the people who did well put themselves in the shoes of those who did badly? At least spare a thought by not complaining about how you couldn't get 10 points for L1R5, when i'm happy enough that i can get a leaving certificate?
Breathe in so deep, Breathe me in, i'm yours to keep.

Cheese cake that darl made for us :D
Shall do a summary of my week (:
Went AMK hub to play pool with zx on wednesday but they had to check ic & i didn't have even my ez link card, cause i lost my wallet. =/ So tried our luck at Cineleisure, but to no avail too. So walked around, and decided to go to Old School @ Mount Sophia to have a look when he suggested. It had this staircase we had to climb, which consisted of 136 steps(counted by zx but i doubt it's accuracy :P). By the time we reached, it was already quite late, so the exhibitions and shops were closed :( Took a look around nevertheless. The place is like some place where great designers do their stuffs, and we got to see what they're doing through the windows. Maybe i'll work there someday? :D Had dinner at foodcourt at NP after that.
Friday. Zx and i wore the same colours :D Tried to make ez link card at AMK hub, but didn't bring the correct documents. So walked to bishan park. Wanted to find a high building to watch sunset but couldn't =/ Was very shocked to see laurence on the way, and his weird behaviour. Lol. Met up with dearie, laogong/laopo and edward to study at mac near yishun library while he went to play basketball. Studied a few pages, and chatted the rest of the time, till 10+pm =x They had watched 4bia before that, so they told me all the stories in detail :D
Saturday, went AMK hub again! Finally was able to make my ez link card =.= Shopped with mum and ate fondue :9
At night, went to the park opposite my house with zx around 10+pm. He brought his camera, tripod and stuffs, and we did light painting, as seen from the photos above. NICE RIGHTTTT. I drew most of them :D Too bad he didn't bring macro lens, or we could take close-up shots of the sparklers and candles.
Zx tried making rockets and one was considered successful. I didn't know i'll remember how to make it and made a quite successful one today :D Edward even took video of it! Shall elaborate about today in the next post so stay tuned (:
Reached home around 1+am. Whoops.
Got 20 mosquito bites on saturday, and 28 more the next day when playing under cla's house. SO I'VE GOT 60 MOSQUITO BITES IN TOTAL. & IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE. (and the more i count, the more i find)
Oh and not forgetting, a HAPPY MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL to everyone :D
