.: Satisfaction OR disappointment :.
The long weekend holiday has come to an end. Weekend holiday basically means break from Thursday to Sunday in my context. Anyway, the most anticipated event of my life thus far and for the year thus far had passed - the release of the GCE O Level Results. The examination one would spend 4/5 years of their life working on and accumulating knowledge set to be displayed in this exam. Results - satisfaction or disappointment.
Was I satisfied with my results? Not really I would say. As some people and teachers have told me, be happy with it and it's only a stepping stone to the next phase of your life! How true can it be. I should count myself rather lucky and be satisfied with my results seeing that many people around me didn't do as well. But then again, how fair is this examination? So many people could have gotten much better scores if it wasn't for the whole bell-jar and moderation thing. Yes, we've been told to expect a difference in the results from what you expect but it's more of a filtration of the different levels of academic then a test of ones intelligence. Due to moderation, all of us were not given the point in which we truely deserved. Life's not fair anyway.
I definitely hope to be able to stay in VJ for it has been my school for the past few weeks and the attatchment to my class and school is there already. Of course,I hope everyone can go to the school that best suits them and they want to be in :)
Thanks Sabrina for lending your house for overnight stay on Friday during OG outing! haha! It was fuN! :) Getting ready for school tomorrow again! Yet another day in school... ...

.: VJC-08S64 :.
My class in Victoria Junior College is as stated 08S64. PCME Class. I can't describe how much fun we have as a class though it's been only a short two weeks since we were being introduced to each other! Now, we're a happy and bonded class! Having breaks together, seating in lectures together and passing down sweets/food from our angels/mortals. Laughing together... joking about things like the pronounciation of 'coloumb' haha. It has been so much fun!
08S64 has been to so many places together already! Giant shopping center to hang out and go crazy, JandS at Suntec Sky Garden and yesterday (tuesday) to Thaipan! In all, we've laughed so much and just enjoyed ourselves so much coming up with 'couples' all the time and letting the 'couples' put their acting skills (though it looks quite real sometimes) to display! in all, 08S64 - crazy and fun!
By the way, Thaipan trip yesterday was so fun and funny! 19 people squeezing together on a round table and eacting so much which in the end cost each person $6.50 only considering the amount of food we ordered which was ALOT! haha. and then going to the nearby playground where surprisingly, the guys sang songs, we did mass dance, took photos, rode the spring animals and all! haha! AND TAU-POKING!!
I hope we can all get into VJ again and that we will all score well! remain as a class ya! we still have two more weeks or should i say another 2 more years for all of us. Results coming out tomorrow... whether it's good or bad, at least we know that 08S64 of VJC first intake was a bonded and fun class!
The thought of results coming out tomorrow really made the atmosphere in VJ a little tensed. Even during band today, Yanzhu and I tried to keep focusing on our parts to avoid thinking about the results. haha. But, what's done is done! I wish EVERYONE - Bedok View Friends and VJ friends that we will ALL GET THE RESULTS WE WANT and that the path ahead will be carved the way we want it to be :D
Hightened anxiety awaits us tomorrow!
Okay... Pictures of 08S64!

.: Hectic :.
Everything has been so hectic and busy this whole week. Almost everyday I'm home at around 9+ and almost everyday I have so many things to do. The thing that filled me up this week was doing the stuff for the OGLs. Iden decided to do some boards and shirts for the entire group and the OGLs. We wanted to give them a surprise but they said that we cannot give surprises because we were rather obvious. haha. but who cares. They liked the things. Marching to the pits at ECP on Friday night with the entire Iden group having our T-shirt on and with Fiona and Huimin wearing the shirts was definitely a pround moment for them! haha. So many other OGLs asked them who made the shirt and everyone was jeoulous and envious of them! at least our hard work paid off. And I really mean HARD WORK! haha. Especially to Poryee, Cheryl and Sihan also with Me, Sabrina and Frances and with all the other Idem members, working till so late every night. Must really give credit to Poryee and Cheryl for this. GOOD JOB PEOPLE! haha. At least the reward which was the smiles on the OGLs faces when they received the things and the group heart was one that we weould fine the best fruit to reap from our hard work! haha
Friday night's BBQ was definitely fun. All the Orientation groups meeting up again and the J1s playing by the beach and talking! FUN!
Lessons are getting realy proper. Tutorials and Lectures. I've become one who doesn't do much homework because most of the time, I'm really trying my best to understand what the lecturers are talking because lectures can sometimes get SO boring that I will fall asleep and sometimes, so fast moving that I can't catch up. Adjusting to life still... adjusting. but nevertheless, school is still fun I would say because my calss - 08S64 does many stupid things together and have breaks together! haha. Yesterday we sut had a J&S. Though some things didn't turn out the way we wanted to, we had fun! haha! I would say my class is very sociable and we have bonded together fast already. the envy of many others but I'm sure all the classes are as united and strong bonded! haha!
Band! Now busy practicing for the New York Trip on 21st March. If i do get into VJ again, i will be going to NY with the band. haha. rather excited.. So now, the band is practicing real hard. Sectionals and all. Combine passes very fast. But its rather fun too playing with the band and the band is really good! So self practice is important for me to catch up! haha.. Practice Practice Practice!
Today is rest day for me! Finally got time to rest. Got Chinese homework to do still :( !

.: Adjusting to VJ life :.
€Orientation's over and like... arrgh.. sad. Orientation was most fun and they just had to end it like that, causing lessons to start proper now and all. Sea Regatta on Monday was fun! got tanned or rather, got burnt! haha. By the way, Sea Regatta is VJ's sea carnival in which all the Year 1s and OGLs will go to ECP and have some games played there both on land and in the sea! haha! THANK YOU MY OGLs for making those very weonderful notes for us and taking care of us, carrying our valuables and making sure we have water all this while and thank you my idenmates for bringing so much laughter and excitement to my Orientation in VJ! Lessons in a junior college sure is a whole lot of difference as compared to that in Secondary School! Got to know my classmates already and now, I can safely say we're a happy class with a rather close bond I suppose. haha. Going for lectures in the Lecture Theatre and going for tutorials that can last for 1 and a half hour is something that I need to get accustomed to after not studying for long! My timetable is rather different. Random breaks here and there and the whole level's timetable is not the same unlike Sec school. Some lessons end at around 1230 while unfortunately for me, my Tuesday ends at 530pm. I officially hate Tuesdays. Lessons from 8 to 530pm. Of course, with random breaks in the middle. My class has 24 people and only 6 of us take Chinese because the rest took HMT in Sec School. Lucky for them! 3 and a half hours of my life every week will therefore, be wasted in Chinese lesson :( NO more bao zhang bao dao already! I can't wait to get it done and over with! These two days of studying sure is not easy because I have to re-energize my rusty brain and also, I have to start writing notes and all. Some lectures like economics are so boring that I just want to sleep! BUT, this is JC life i suppose! haha! am prepared for it! Joined the Victoria Junior College Symphonic Band (VJCSB) already. Started playing pieces right away like Mach Picchu which is grade 6 and Entrance of the Gladiators. Band practices are not long and I'm really happy about it! Met some NCO friends too! So I'm looking forward to our band's next big thing! (shall not be revealed now ;).. )Alright! time to read some notes... :(As Promised, Some pictures!
