Pre Spring Cleaning

October 26, 2008

So my mum has been bugging me to clean up my room and I’ve tried my best to put this off by saying I’ll do it after my exams. I’ve even gone further to say that PW is not over yet so that I can put it off to an even later date.

But alas, Mr conscience will make you think twice about everything so I decided to be a good boy and start cleaning up my room. (Not to mention the fact that I’m also taking a short break from PW) And I stumbled upon this.

My Karate belts! So i decided to snap a pic and post it here for those that were doubtful. I was once a black belt alright. :P Hahs. I wonder what else I can find next?

And the PW days begin.

Today was the last day of our academic year. Meaning there’s no more lessons until after school reopens. We have to however, still go back to school for dry runs for our OP. And not to mention to practise our OP during the next two weeks before the actual assessment.

Anyway, we got back all of our papers today and I guess I did okay. BUT unfortunately, my CTs pulled my overall grades down. Especially for Physics. Thank god there was moderation and Varied Assessment.

Was glad though, that my chem improved significantly to an A and I really have to thank Mrs Kong for that. Think B Lim in terms of chem. She’s really a MAGNIFICENT teacher and I’m glad I didn’t dissapoint her.

For GP, i guess I was pretty lucky to have just managed to scrape a B, and I’m glad I did.

Econs was pretty screwed ever since the CTs after Gilbert Lee left. The fact that we had so many relief teachers for econs didn’t help either. But at least I did okay. And I seriously question if the teacher marked my essay seriously.

Maths was a surprise. Didn’t expect to pass at all but it turned out much better than I had expected.

Physics. sigh. Physics was alright I guess. I really got to work hard for this subject. And I have no one else to blame for my results other than for myself. I really, really got to work hard. And let’s hope that these words find their way to materialise into actual actions.

There goes J1, and before we all know it, it will be the ‘A’s.

I’m in desperate need of a break and I hope my PW group will pull through. We’ve really worked hard.

Tensed

School is taking its toll on me, especially PW. God, if I were to hear WR and OP again, I’m going to lose it.

With that said, would it be any wonder why we would say that PW is great at the end of everything, so that the viscious cycle can continue for the following generations?

Today had been a nice break amidst everything. I met up with my 204 classmates to have lunch. Although most of them didn’t turn up cos they had things to do, we still managed to have 1/4 of the class there which was pretty neat. Saw constance again after god knows how long, and boy is she still as funny as ever.

Anyway, we’ll be getting our papers back next wednesday and I’m getting pretty jittery. I’m actually rather calm, but there are times when I will start having these little panic attacks. I know I could’ve done better, much better in fact, who doesn’t? But well, I tried my best. Definitely not my very best though. After all, once bitten, twice shy. And while I could have put in that extra effort, I know I did work harder this time round than for the CTs. But as i’m writing this, I realise that I’m just deceiving myself so that I can feel better about myself. So much for self reflection.

I’m really really exhausted. And I need to take a break. I do hope the remaining school days fly pass as quickly as it did for the 9 months of school that I’ve been through.
