Rumbering Over
Its the Holidays. Finally. That's 4 months off school and books and words and stuffed up pencil cases and....... Idling around is giving me some uneasiness, cause the idea of rotting at home (with my Mum and bro around) is not very attractive.
Hmmm.....Let's see what we can do to accomodate that need for stress:
1. A Job.
2. Voluntary Work.
1. A Job
Basically some revenue would be really nice at this point of time. I am officially on a $445 minus debit. Means I'm owning a lump sum of 445 smackers. That's pretty interesting huh. I still have yet to pay a $330 mp3 player. Some cash for the chalet and so on.
But it's been hard, I mean, there's practically no jobs in the market! Iven has been very kindly scouring all possible contacts to find a job for us all. But no avail. We are in this undermining state of desperation... I NEED TO TOUCH FRESH NOTES. The scent and smell of freshly printed money can really make you reach a state of 'aphrodisiac'!
2. Voluntary Work
More difficult, cause it means I have to go on a full time commitment thing, for at least a year. I can if I'm going a polytechnic. But it'll be a little too difficult if I do comfortably drop myself into a Junior College, that's where the A level mayhem would suck out all my lifestream. To the point that I might just suffer concussion at the slight thought of homework.
See? My reluctance shows right? I'm some selfish little brat, who loves money and hates community service. Lol.
The Graduation Menace
Went out with Iven, Tongs, Hanif and others. I was actually just scouring for a good tie to go with my graduation dinner night attire, but at the end somehow became an 'attire mentor'. Advising some people on what to wear and stuff.
I mean, everyone was going bonkers about what to wear, what to buy, what to go with this and that. While I just stood there, all my grad night stuff up and ready for grabs in my wardrobe. I didn't buy anything new exactly. I recycled some clothes.
Us travelling on orchard. Raining....Hanif having a bad hair day, explains the kinky hat hahaha.
Benjamin was fickle on what to buy. We got out some clothes that suited him, and I was kinda pissed why shopping centres had so much variety. To hell, fashion is seriously overrated. Yep, so he went with his heart to get this black shirt with black stripes running all over from Topman. I thought it wasn't really practical, but he likes it. That matters most - that he likes it.
SH Got some Levi's pants. I'm positive they sell those pants much much cheaper somewhere else. But the place just slipped my mind. Anyway 90 bucks for a Levis pants was kinda okay. I mean, it's LEVI'S. Branded is always a little cooler. Haha. Being SH, he had to make the most perfect choice for his money. That's cool. If I had 90 bucks I'll be looking for the best anyway.
We had KFC halfway, crapped loads of jokes about each other, how we look and stuff. We're practically nuts. It's funny how all of us wouldn't be doing all that anymore in less than 3 days time. That's when the graduation bug really gets to you.
Whatever how, I thought I was kinda a bitch these few days. Usually I'm the bastard, but I guess you wanna push all your escalated feelings to other friends cause you know you might never get the chance to meet up with them anymore, thus you try to be even more bastardy. More bastard = bitch. Coolness huh - my theory.
I gotta chhaaaange, I made a pact with God I'd do that.
A note.
I guess at this point of time, things are looking up much. The O Levels are soon to be over. We had a cell meeting after church last night, and we gotta share some of our experiences throughout this whole time through the O Levels. He’s been up and about. Cause every time I prayed to him he gave me that sense of confirmation.
Hard to explain – it’s like you’ve met up with a very tight deadline and you feel really accomplished. Something like that.Things in life has taken a step backwards, and now there’s more time for me to try rearranging bits and pieces that I’ve neglected throughout this whole year.
Shivering Skeletons
I've officially screwed Geography mark. I left a 12 mark question blank! 12 marks!! WAaaahaaaaahaha… screwed. Other than that, the O Levels have removed itself as one of the burdens on my back. Last night while studying for geography, I was already planning stuff to do during the holidays, there was no memory space left for any geog notes. So yeap. You can imagine how I crapped my way through the paper just now. I’m rather certain now Combined Humanities is a C5. When the paper finished, there was that linger of the 'minus 12 marks doom' in the air.
Coming home after the paper with Wei Min (we were watching Silver Hawk…crappy Michelle Yeoh movie haha), I was kinda calculating my highest points possible already. And I came up with this:Chinese: C5
English: C5
Combined Humans: C5
Maths: B3
Art: A2
Science: B3
That's freaking 23 points! I can be ready to embrace poly life then. Well, hopefully I don’t end up that way. Hm.... I'm kinda getting down over a stupid ol' geog paper actually, haha. Was asking God last night to please! Please make this paper simple! Or make me remember all my points! But it didn’t work out that way. He's already done more than enough for me… I gotta pave my own way I guess.
Well anyway, should I get higher than 15 points (for qualification to SAJC), I'll discuss with Sh, see where he’s going and probably go where he'd be going. That's if I am qualified to...
Man! Now all the hope is on the 22nd! That's when the last paper, 'chemistry/physics paper 1' mark THE END. I'll have to try as hard to score full marks for that MCQ paper!
Then at least I'll feel abit more contented. I don't want the geography paper to bug me all through my upcoming holidays. Lol.
English - Bugger
I'm back! Just for a little while to update a few things....
Moses has requested The Art Escapades post to be blogged soon, I can tell you I don't have the mood now. I'm in the middle of the freaking O's dammit! Some other time...
Anyway, the main reason for my explicit entry tonight is because of - what else? - the O levels. Just wanting to drop by and say how crazy its been, and how many more days of torture its gonna be.
The English paper 1 was a killer, I was busy contemplating right sentences that it took probably half the time of the paper. Hmm, I just can't come up with good phrases in an instance. So there was this poor ol' Shan Yu trying to come up with nice words for nice phrases for even nicer marks, and then wasting a good 15 minutes. My hand was gonna fall apart, the speed of writing can really kill you.
I might get anywhere from a C5 to A2. Anywhere. Whatever, screw O Levels.
This stress is really pushing you and squeezing you into bits.
I was going to the last tuition class today, and I took the bus. I saw this plump lady, she's always taking the same Bus 13 as me, it's probably her routine to do so. She wears heavy spectacles, carries a small brown handbag, and always reeks of sweat. For this short span of 2/3 months of math tuition in Bishan, I always saw her. She makes up the part of a routine on my Wednesday afternoons, Ms Kin was a big part of that too.
You can say I miss routine.
Gar meng and I thought it was kinda unappropriate of her to not say any farewell speeches before we left. Maybe it's her routine to see students come and go from her tuition class or something. Whatever it is, she's helped me loads... so I've gotta thank her mannn... It's because of her I don't hate maths. That's kinda miraculous for a person like me! haha... whatever it is, she rocks.
Miss Kin is somewhere in that list. And she's just not photogenic, so don't laugh or something. :/
Man, just imagine after O Levels everything's gonna change. We're all gonna not recongnise each other 30 years down the road. I've might've became an establish curtain maker, and you the CEO of a thriving textile industry.. I was thinking the past few days if I did join waterpolo, I'm gonna miss out on all the fun of choir and how we spoofed Dora Lee so much. And maybe there won't be friends that you can totally be yourself with.
Bah, we all gotta move on.
Gotta check out the SEA Games that's coming up!!! There's loads of contestants from the sports school this year. Hope all the swimmers do their best! Haha, cause I'm only going to catch the swimming and badminton.
Dig switchfoot! It's time for album intro Noting Is Sound next blogpost!
