No thank you

without comments

London offered me an interview session for direct admission last Sunday. I said alright but decided against it in the end. I don’t know if I did the right thing but I’ll stick with Birmingham, for now.

Maybe I’ll go in year 2013. (:

Mug-ger

without comments

I visited SAJC last Friday. It’s been a long time since I went back, and there were quite a number of changes to the school. It wasn’t a planned trip, rather impromptu because I just felt like going in since I was just right outside. I felt like drinking the Longan Ice and Teh Peng with more milk again. I didn’t get the chance to though.

I miss studying.

i miss flipping through my bio notes,
and cramming through all those chem equations and theories,
doing and re-doing all those maths tutorials,
struggling to understand all those economic concepts and markets.

i miss being the sleeping monster in class,
staying till late just to plan for another school event,
the fortnightly chapel sessions in the cc,
singing the school song and hymn.

You might think I’m just saying this because I’m not taking any exams or A levels now,
but I beg to differ.

I wish I could fly to Birmingham and start school now.

Now I’ll Wait

without comments

I’ve done it. I’ve submitted my UK university application. Australia as well, though it’s just for fun. I want to know that they want me, I hope. (:

Now I’ll wait.

I miss studying

without comments

Maybe not if I’m the one with the upcoming ‘A’ levels to face, but I really kinda miss studying. I have no idea why. I’d rather be sitting down for 3 hours straight mugging. I miss school. :/

This Friday

with one comment

If last Friday was so rare, then what’s going to be so special about this coming Friday then?

No it’s not going to be some leap Friday or any of that sort, but rather I can’t wait for it to come.

I’m getting my freaking results! FINALLY! After months of anticipation and weeks of speculation (it was supposed to be released two Fridays ago, then thought to be coming out on the rare last Friday), it’s finally been confirmed!

Oh yeah I’m so looking forward to collecting my beautiful GCE A-Level Examination Certificate showing my 5 ‘A’s and 2 ‘D’s.

I hope. (:

Eighteen years young

without comments

I turned 18 on 14/9/2007. So as of now, I’m 18 years and 3 days young. Well, now that my eighteenth year on earth has passed, the next birthday I’m looking forward to is my 21st birthday. Can’t wait to be an adult. Happy belated birthday to me then. (:

My prelims ended today. The last paper was Biology Paper 1. Heck. I’m done with prelims. Well I went to watch Premonition with my classmates after the paper. I was a bit hesitant at the beginning. Got a nagging headache when I woke up today, but I went anyway.  We watched the 11am show at The Cathay. After the movie, the headache got worst.

Premonition was messy, confusing and weird. I didn’t really understand the movie until the end where things became a little clearer. Still, I can’t say I understood it fully. I’m still a bit confused. Maybe it’s just me, but it was rather draggy as well. Urghh. The main thing is my headache got worst through the movie. Killed too much already damaged brain cells trying to figure out what’s going on. Read the critics and you know what I’m talking about.

I think I’m going to go rest for a while. Took 2 Panadols and I hope the headache goes away fast. It sucks. I’ve no school tomorrow, so I’m going to sleep like nobody’s business tonight.

2 More Papers

with one comment

Prelims are over. Well, not exactly. I still have 2 more papers. Chemistry and Biology. Both Paper 1.

The problem is, I’m kind of taking it as if my prelims are officially over already. I screwed up my Maths Paper 2 totally yesterday. I mean, seriously-no-kidding kind of screwed up. I’m not prepared at all when I went to take it. Didn’t know anything about Statistics beyond InvNorm, which by the way, is what I only started studying the morning before my afternoon paper. I better go catch up fast. The next Maths exam I’ll be taking will be the A levels already.

Anyway, I didn’t have any paper today. So I didn’t have to attend school. Good, because I spent the whole afternoon in front of my computer watching anime. Didn’t touch any books. Oh well, I think I’m gonna go revise something later at night. It’s an afternoon paper tomorrow as well.

Oh yes. I collected my new spectacles already. They’re red half-framed Ted Baker spectacles. Not bad. I like them (obviously). I’m still only wearing them when I need to though, like when I’m studying or on the computer.

Ok. It’s 13 September. (:
