WHITE HOUSES;


my dirty little secrets.

Friday, October 24, 2008

The number of days left to A's has come close to a single digit. Tomorrow it'll be 9. How fast these 2 months seem to have passed. Unknowingly, we've come to our final stage of preparation. It's like the last 1km of a cross country race, quite near the end, but not quite too. We've already endured more than half the race, what more is this 1km. It's been draining no doubt, but it is this final lap that is most crucial. To gather all the strength from within and channel it to the right places so that our potential will be maximised. Fatigue sets in, you feel like letting go, but no you can't give up. You keep going until you see the finishing line, the moment you've been waiting. With what's left of you, you feel a sudden surge of adrenaline rush, for that push for the last 100m towards the end-18 Nov.

I'm glad to finally see more light in preparation for this major exam. This week's been much more productive, understanding concepts finally, after 2 whole years. But stress has probably taken over my health, leaving me with no choice but to consult a doctor. Didn't realise I was that ill, fever cough flu, I had it all. Sometimes it isn't too good to be resilient. No wonder I experienced those dizzy spells every morning, doctor said it was the result of a lack of oxygen in my brain due to my conjested nose. Thankfully, the medicine has cured me of my sickness. Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise, for I feel so much better now and ready to sit for A's in the pink of health. The medicine has probably washed away all the germs and bad luck. At least now, I don't dread A's as much as before. No doubt I am feeling jittery just thinking about it but with the one week or so left, I'm sure everyone will be able to be prepared by then. It's tough studying all day long so I guess small things could suffice to make my day. Tuesday's dinner, smses, nic's generosity, motivation from my peers...

The end is near.

Farewell Assembly 2008//

It was so different from Crescent, really uncomparable. I still remember how almost everyone was crying by the end of the ceremony 2 years ago, how we passed down lighted candles and sang 'if we hold on together'. Yet here in NJ, the feeling's so different. Neither am I sad nor happy, after all so many things have happened in this 2 years. Both good and bad, thankfully this year has been pretty much happier than last. There's so much I want to reflect upon, but I shall leave that till after A's.
Here's just a few photos, courteousy of Yihui who sent to us to our emails so quickly.
07S23. The class in NJ which most people probably knew, thanks to the famous PDA who makes their presence known everywhere. Even though they make so much noise be it in class or outside, I guess lessons would really have been very boring with them. Ngiam made a video of our class which pretty much sums up everything haha.
The 10 girls of the class, who are outnumbered by the guys. But it doesn't matter, I think we're special in our own ways too. It's quite cool that we've very different personalities but still clique well together. Maybe that's why others always comment our class is bonded!
And the 2 girls who never fail to tease or laugh at me at least once a day! Okay even though you 2 can really be very mean to me at times, thanks still for bringing joy! HAHA all your amusing actions (especially YOU WENDY) I'll never forget.
I've been feeling so moody the past 2 days, the fear of A's is really starting to sink in. Getting back prelim results slip with terrible percentiles makes me feel even worst, knowing I'm way below average. Urghh 31 days till it's over, I really really cannot wait.

The happiest people are not those with wealth and status, but those with true friends.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY 18TH BIRTHDAY SO AWESOME.

I conclude I've the greatest friends, they make me feel so special. My birthday became a week long affair and I've been enjoying since last sunday. But after tonight's dinner, I promise I'll really be studying very very hard because there's only 3 weeks to A's.
Anyway, Wednesday my classmates celebrated my birthday and it all began with that helium balloon which is so embarrassing! When the girls passed it to me at the atrium I really didn't know where to hide, and while walking back to class I had to hug it so people can't really see the balloon. Haha how silly, in the end, because of my negligience and failing to tie properly to the chair, it flew to the ceiling fan and burst. I felt quite bad after that but van and wendy tried means and ways to make me carry it like sticking it onto my bag, inflating it again etc. Haha yes, you all succeeded in embarrassing me already! :P During break, I got a cake! Hahah I think it was Daniel who played the piano and the rest sang so loudly like everyone in the canteen was looking. HAHA happy belated birthday yongjian too.
At 3pm, our chinese teacher was so cute asked us to meet her to take photo. Hahah and she actually went to make up just to take a picture Haha. She's so sweet even though she only taught us for half a year, she said we made her days very happy. Still ask us to call her whenever we're stressed. Heh I think she's one teacher who feels attached to us, she looked as though she was going to cry saying all those.

At night, my family celebrated for me and had the second cake of the day haha :)

9 October. Spent the morning replying msges and then tried to do a little work but obviously failed. Finally 430pm came and I met QL at Botanics. It was so silly cause we were at two different entrances of Botanics which were at 2 far ends. So we had to walked to the middle to meet and that silly girl said she wanted to go to where a came from! =/ Hahah but the 2 hour chat was great :) And I can't believe how I was actually fooled by her to go to the toilet only to find her missing later! Gosh and then she texted me to go to NJ most romantic place, I was so shocked. Plus I wasnt even in school u. Haha anw, I managed to enter since it was so dark, our school doesn't have lights at the track or grandstand so the security couldnt see hahah. Was surprised to see a number of trackkers at the rooftop and they sang me a birthday song before proceeding to the canteen. Thankfully, there wasn't anyone at the round tables to watch me embarrass myself dancing with Jon. It was so dumb and silly. Uu and Grace kept to their promise they made at Nicole's party when Sam sang and they sang too! Hahah Usarin was so scared I could see the nervousness on her face as she sang I Do Cherish you haha I was so touched. Proceeded to Jurong Point for dinner at Pizza Hut only to see more trackers there! We laughed so much that night, we were definitely making the most noise since it was about 930pm when we finally had dinner. Kahswee was out to malu me as he wanted me to stand on the chair on asked all the diners to sing me a birthday song but thankfully they were so spontaneous that they sang along even before I said anything! Haha had my 3rd cake after successfully blowing off the candles from the chair. It was really a great night with the trackers! Missed them so much esp since I havent seen them for quite some time already. And I realised that the majority who went were all my juniors. Even those who didn't come cos it's so far from their houses left a message on the spongebob card. Never did I realise how I've impacted some of them until that night. And I discovered one thing, that I've the ability to make people happy cos they said I'm always so cheerful heh will take that as a compliment :) Haha so thanks for the wonderful night, I really appreciated the surprise. Thank you Qiulin and Adrian especially! It was the best birthday I could ever asked for :D

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticise others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
-Christian D. Larson

One paragraph like this can make so much sense. Every single sentence can mean so much. Haha. Thank you for the surprise yesterday (:

Today was such an unproductive day sadly.
Urghh I really really really need to stay focus, A's is in exactly 28 days time. Omg I'm so worried. I rather suffer and study very hard for the next 28 days than to regret when I receive my results slip next year. I realised you can actually do ALOT should you really sit down to study one full day. Felt so accomplished yesterday cause I managed to do one paper of each subject!! Maths P1, Physics P1, Chem P3, Econs BOP/Exchange Rate and 1 essay. Okay maybe it's not that much, but that's the most I've done in one day for a long time so yay :D Hahah now my house has become a place for studying/working. At a time like this, you see my maid washing up in the kitchen, brother studying in the living room, mum working on her laptop, me in my room studying, dad doing accounts, grandma sleeping. The house has really become very quiet, making it rather condusive for revision. Heh I felt so touched when my mum actually came to my room and said "I'll stand by you." Omg I won't ever think she'll say that to me but I felt really happy and comforted she did, helped me relieve a little of my stress haha.
I couldn't resist the temptation so ended up watching the Japanese gameshow earlier and it was so hilarious! :D My famil had a good laugh watching it together, Japanese are such cute people, they can think of such unique games. Although it's silly and embarrassing, it looks pretty fun! Hahah that's why Vanessa wants to try those games too :P Heh now that the TV's switched on, it's almost silent here in my house, the only sound's probably the music from the radio. Ahh so it's back to my notes again. I must conquer my fears of A's!!! :)
