Alright, it's been so so long since i last posted something.so many things had happened.of course, O-levels are done and even the results are out.the results were not really satisfying but sometimes we will just need to except it and move on with the next part of life. To students taking O-levels after me, a piece of advise:"Although most ppl or teachers say that what you get for your prelims will usually be the lowest that you get for Os if you continue to work hard,it may not be true when you actually receive your Os result". That happened to me...unfortunately.
anyways, as i've said it's not only abt results in life but what you get out of it.In my previous post, i've said that i wanted to get into a college but i did not think it might be the best choice.But i did consider it and minus 2 CCA pts, i could get into JJC. However, looking at what i am going to study,GP and humanities will kill me.Esp Malay and GP.and if i join a JC, i don't think i will have a chance to fly.
I've applied to join the Singapore Youth Flying Club(SYFC).and i've passed the interview, so nxt is medical.so i guess going to a poly wld be a good choice to study the choice of course and learn to fly.luckily, there were many choices of course that i could choose.
Actually in the JAE, i put TP as my 1st choice and NP as 2nd.anyway, TP is very far frm my hse but only there have that course but i missed the cut-off pt by 1,so chances of getting there is actually quite slim.So I thought i let God decide where i shd go.he decided that i shd get into NP.
So, for the nxt 3yrs, i will be studying Aerospace Technology at Ngee Ann polytechnic.
Hopefully my coming days at np will be a fruitful one and help me acheive my dreams.

last post
Right, this is my last post before my o-levels. i have not been blogging for the past 2-3 months. i think you should know the reason why...
Prelim 1 just ended. And got back the results. Not too bad, at least better than mid-yr.Prelim 2 will be starting this coming Thursday.
many things happened during the past months. happy and sad.... maybe will write about these things nxt time. i am just writing this post to have a significance as a last pose before o-levels.so, see you after 13 Nov(my last paper)
anyway, maybe i might post again just one last time during the exam period.to write about how i feel when my birthday is on an exam day!! or maybe i might not. I'll see when the day comes soon.Do wish me luck!!
Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslims :)

The element of failure is what pulls back someone from acheiving his/her goal.That's what is happening to me now.The choice of going to a Junior College(JC) or Polytechnic. Since the beginning of this sec4 year, many people have been asking me this question. I really did not know how to answer it.When a teacher ask me, I will just simply pick either one without really considering them.Just to show that i have a sense of direction.
A few months later, my answer was, "I don't know"
Last Tue, i made a decision.
I realise that i wanted to go to JC but there was this element of worry of failure that keeps telling me,
"If cannot,.......".
So, if cannot the other choice was the polytechnic.That's why I have been holding back.It's the worry of "what if this happens or what if that happens or what if none happens"
The "what if" part comes bacause we are worried we might not be able to acheive our target.If we have that part and we do not acheive our target, we will not feel so disheartened.Through this, we are trying to escape one thing, the impact of failure.But if we do not make a goal, we will just keep driving in any direction and not get where we want to be.or at worst,lost.
At last,the decision is made........

134 days
Yes! It's ONLY 134 more days to O-levels. Don't think that i have been counting it for months. It's just that i just felt we ought to face up to reality and be aware how scary it is.I managed to find a place to write the days on and it's erasable.So i had the experience of erasing and writing again as each day passes. It's stressful and worrying. Try it if u do not believe me.(Caution: May cause heart-attack)
2 weeks of the June holidays have passed.It also meant our HOPE programme is over. Now i understand why the sch named it HOPE. We(or maybe at least I) desperately needed some hope. Without hope, i think i will fall.

50% of 2009 is GONE
Like what i had said in my previous posts, the past few weeks were very busy weeks.Many big events just passed.
My Student Council Investiture was last Thursday.We had many rehearsals and meetings to prepare for this day.I am happy that it all went smoothly. This day also marks my last day as an active Vice-President of SC. It's certainly sad leaving all of them but i can't stay forever. Someone else got to take over and move on to the next level.Good Luck to S6 now known as C6 when they take over the 5th council.The 5th council is now known as R7(Retired 7)!
2 days after the investiture was my confirmation.It was great. I was actually nervous at first but when i was standing in front of the bishop, it all happened so fast. I am now filled with the Holy Spirit!After that was dinner at my house. My whole extended family came.Had a great dinner:)
2 days after my confirmation is my Malay O-levels Exams. which is today........It was fine for me but had some shocking experiences. I actually managed to finish my karangan P1 1/2h before the actual ending time. I have no idea how i did it but it just happened. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing. I think i will only know it when the results come out in August. May whoever that's marking my paper be merciful!
Lastly, CHELSEA won the FA cup!Congrats to them especially to Lampard who scored the winning goal.Finally a cup after 2 yrs.
I am very happy with the experience i have gained from the first 50% of my life in 2009. Let's continue to persevere on with the remaining 50%!

dying day
Yes, it's dying day today like what my sis wrote in her blog. Receiving our MYE results. I received my :
E.M(P1/P2),
A.M(P1),
Phy,
Chem,Comb.humans(Geog,SS),
Malay.
Not to say i did very super badly. It's just that i feel i am slipping further and further away frm my usual grades like each test i do. Maybe my expectations for myself are too high, but how can i accept that as a reason when my other classmates can do better than me? I cannot let myself just die down in this battlefield esp. when the main war haven't even started. Sometimes I think to myself, will I really make it if i continue working hard?But i cannot stop working hard. Not when I have to give advice to my juniors.
The previous para might have given u the thought that i did horribly. I passed everything so far. Lowest grade B4 i think. Actually expected those marks after i ended the papers or maybe worse.But i am sure i can do much better if i push myself.Wish me luck for my other papers on Mon.
Enough abt exams and results, i went bowling yesterday with some ppl. It was fun.Luckily managed to score some points.Although most of it went to the gutter. It was my first time so i think i did ok.
I will be going to receive my Overall All-Rounders Award this evening at Yio Chu Kang. At least something for me to be glad abt after the whole day of looking at my results.
Got to go now.

last week
Having some "free time' now to update my blog. Thanks to Meila for re-reminding me.
Cross-country was last week. I got the 49th position.I ran as fast as i could at the finishing point and managed to cut some 6people.That's my strategy i guess.
anyway, the main mid-yr exams are starting next week and i have planned out what to study on the different days. Hope that i can follow it.
I am quite worried for some subjects actually. The marks that i get isn't very satisfying in those tests.The days are getting nearer.Y am i not feeling anything??
Last Wed, I had a chat with my mentor.I had a weird feeling and did not know what to answer when he asked me "What do u think u will be 5 years down the road?"We calculated and i realised that 5 yrs down the road, i will be 21yrs.It's so scary.Those 5 yrs will pass very fast.5 yrs back, i was in primary 5. It did not take long for me to reach where i am now.
After a long pause, he asked me questions instead of me giving him a whole big chuck of answers.It all adds up to I will still be living with my family, hope to learn how to fly, do sth i engineering, be with my 3 wonderful friends.it seems so nice to think about it. But imagine all the work i will have to do before i reach that level.
Got to go now. It's 11pm. Cannot stay too late.The next post will be after my exams. i hope i will not be too busy.Work hard everyone!Good luck to all taking exams(esp.ASSES).

He is risen
"He is risen, Alleluia!"
After 40 days, the word is back again.Just attended an Easter Vigil mass yesterday. It was the longest mass i have ever been to. 3hrs+. Anyway, i am very happy i managed to attend it. It was my first time ever going for this Easter Vigil. It was so nice and solemn. The atmosphere of happiness and prayer was all present.
I saw people got baptised and confirmed too. They were so happy. It must be a very fulfilling experience. I will get a feel of it too soon.Confirmation is on 30 May!
After busy in church for the past week, I guess next will be in school. The remaining of Apr and May will make up parts of the most important days in my secondary school life. With my last CDSS speech day, presenting the SC state-of-the-union, mid-yr exams, SC investiture, choosing a teacher-mentor.I guess more will come out.
Happy Easter to all!
