IT'S MINE!

im so tired, physically - i feel like an injured bird really, the balls of my foot hurt, the product of days walking around too much, not exactly in very comfortable shoes.
wanted to join the physics/bio people celebrating todayy but ah once again, im so sorry, but just too tired! promise ill be back in action soon, give me a day! :)

have been thinking of making a list of everything i want after watching oprah's show on the earth-person law of attraction thing that is actually pretty interesting. IT'S MINE!
its probably easy to think "it's mine!" if all we have to do is answer mcq questions or something, not that im being jealous, since i admit i really cant do science/ math or stuff like that. counted for my sister, realised that lit/hist/econs people have 18 essays to write, and thats all that counts for our grading man. having said that i really have to say that literature at A level is indeed interesting but we all admit its tough man. like improving is intangible, and you can never replicate success in one assignment for sure in another. its this inconsistency (not just in grades but how you feel towards each poem/prose/drama) that worries me. not sure if i can pull it off when the real thing comes. the strange thing is that you got to have a certain aptitude towards the whole thing to be confident of having everything under your control and manipulating the strange content to your own ways and logical flow everytime. that certain aptitude certainly comes with certain people we already know, but it doesnt appear with everyone who just puts in hard work. those who put in hard work may attain in, but that success doesnt come with hard work all the time. oh well, thats the price we have to pay for doing something we really enjoy, although forcing us to appreciate content in just a few minutes isnt really very enjoyable. I really really think they ought to give all candidates like a compulsory 15 min to appreciate the strange thing first, before perhaps an hour for writing. I understand time is a discriminant in itself, but really even appreciating literature has to be in such a crazy rush?

Whatever it is, like what i told my CT during connect 2, i wont ever regret whatever grades i get because i believe that i enjoyed a super fulfilling school life (even though others would say we enjoyed too much:(, and did all the subjects that we love, even though we may not be the best at it, the only thing is to do your best and live like you should at 17/18!:))

CHEERS EVERYONE, happy celebrating!:))

here are a collection of my favourite photos of all time, and hwee's birthday:))

22.8.08 : Happy Hwee Day:)

We still came to celebrate Teachers' Day although we were all sure we couldnt finish studying in time for prelims! and I baked till late the previous night and ants and abc had to write so many cards! I think that calls for some celebration:)

P.S. We can jump really high eh! haha:)

I cant remember when this was taken but it was definitely during the period we were supposed to settle down to study, no we didnt become jaded at all! :)

the fun bbq albeit the overwhelming smoke:)

mouse and my organised cip! hmm, i wonder where it has gone to, hopefully they keep it for next year too:)

time for family photos!:)


in our dear second home:)
in our favourite New York:)

my dear exco and tae:)

more around school:)
just so little from UK and France,
New York!

And how our school never fails to remind us that indeed everything is possible with labour:)
i remember how worried i was on the day before school started (although for most of the cca people we probably settled in faster than the rest) how radical this shift from bukit timah to farr east would be haha. Leaving behind all the memories from our favourite hangouts - Stevens Road, Serene Centre - island creamery, RTC, Prata House, Guthrie House and Venezia, King Albert Park, Coronation Plaza, Waffle Town, Town, the delifrance at Chancery Lane, Dairy Farm (!!), all my old buses i used to take, 67, 154, 960, etc etc to somewhere so different! i guess all those fears were unfounded and I made the right choice, under the umbrella of my dearest Daddy God under whose Will is always mine to adhere to.
There is always a bright light at the end of the tunnel, but first we gotta work.

Should be signing off not long, in lieu of our favourite exams!

IT'S MINE! <3
