Au revoir, sayonara, goodbye


As much as I dread them, I really love them more than I dread them.

Alright, it's time.


No no no, I'm not dying or deleting this blog haha! I said this to say goodbye to my blog cause this will be the last post I'm writing before O Level. Yep it's exactly 7 more days AKA one week more to my war. Last war of my secondary school life. It's both exciting, and scary.

Firstly yes it's exciting because as I said I'm really looking forward to my Prom and Grad night which is at 16 and 13 Nov respectively. It's scary because... Tell me someone who is unafraid of O Level! Everyone is freaking out, hello haha. But as the saying goes.

Just give your best shot.

And when I say the best, I really mean the best. The best of your life so far.

So I really can't wait. Mrs Lee, and the other English teachers told us that in O Levels, we're supposed to write the best essay we have ever written in our lives. So yeah I can't wait to write the best essay of my life. I can't wait to solve that most difficult Math Sum. I can't wait to solve the questions of our lives, and the human body anatomy. The most intriguing Chemical reactions, and the most difficult Physics question. Woot!

Okay that is long heh.

Anyway yes, I have, I must and I will put my bestest, ever effort that during the O Levels. Arrgh I can't wait! 7 more days!

Errm alright I guess that's all for today. Hmm well I might, MIGHT blog during the O Levels. You know, those relieving stress stuff hehe. And to give you an update [but I know like super little people read my blog anyway] about my O Level. And I seriously can't wait to type these posts in my blog.

"One more week!" "3 more papers!" "LAST PAPER!"

And when it's all over, I'll realise how time fly quickly yes.

Okay people see ya and ALL THE BEST to ALL the SEC 4Es/5Ns OUT THERE who are taking their O LEVELS! We can do it! Let us all venture into the storm!

One more week. Wish me luck, bless me with luck. And Good luck people!

Okay people, how is it going there? Hmm, today and yesterday wasn't really a good day. Not so productive but well at least I still managed to complete some task hehe. And it all went according to plan so I guess it's good. 11 more days, it's starting REALLY soon.

Anyway today went to school, not much of studying but more of consultations with different teachers. It's umm alright I guess, my doubts are all cleared out. And tomorrow, gonna meet with one more and then I guess I'll spend the rest of the day studying. Not sure whether I should go to Physics or not.

Alright tonight gonna continue to study as usual. It's gonna be quick when I see "0 more days to the Os" in front of me, on my desk. Currently it's 11 more days, soon it's gonna be 10, 7, 5, 3, 1, 0. How amazing. And everyone seems to feel the heat now because... Of course, it's the biggest test of their lives. So far. Weee....

Alright, I promise myself this is going to be the second last post before O Level is finished. Gonna miss you my blog. Okay, see you then.

I see it. But I hope you don't.

I can't stand it


A cup of tea, soothes the soul.

I love tea like I love music.


Hello again, hmm second day of French Leave. Not bad I guess. Quite productive, but yesterday was even better hehe. Cause today my pen spoiled halfway while I was doing my Bio so... Was forced to stop. And I lost my mood, maybe it's the rain, and my hunger.

Went to eat with Denise and MF at BBQ Chicken in WCP. Nice dinner hehe. And we talked a lot about... O LEVELS! And Prom! And Grad night! And Deterrence! And Terrorism! And Globalisation! As you can see, yes, we ate, we talked and we study haha!

Went to Popular to get my new pen, and refill and compass (Thank God I remembered). And then headed home! Well while on the way home...

I really feel stressed out.

Not that I feel depressed and wanna give up kind of feeling but more of this... "I'm tired" Kind of feeling. Am I pushing too hard on myself? I don't know. But I do know it's 13 more days and I HAVE to push it. It's like the last sprint of a marathon. And 13th of November. That's the finish line. Arrrgh come on people! Endure it!

Well the last major and national examination I had was PSLE which was very important to me as well. I mean, it's like a test of where I'm going next. Well I know where I'm going next, but I don't know whether my dream will come true or not. [Errrm, I think you should know it].

And I don't remember feeling really stressed during my PSLE, well I feel nervous and scared, but not stressed. Everything seemed normal to me. Perhaps, I was just still a little boy 5 years ago and now, I'm a grown up teen that knows the importance, the essence, the significance of this exam called the O Levels.

I guess, I'll just endure it.

And face it like a MAN. HAHA :D

Anyway that's all for today. I have things to do tonight so hmm, chop chop and lets get it over and done with. Bye!

Isn't it too obvious.

Life's a Rubik's Cube. It's complicated, but it's fun!

Hmm my never-seemed-to-be-used Rubik's cube.


Hello people, first day of French Leave... Hmm no bad, it was rather productive hehe. But somehow, somewhat, I don't know why I suddenly have this sore throat like ting! And a sore throat is there. My throat was freaking itchy in the morning and I continue to cough throughout the day.

The day started with Chemistry extra lesson, and it was rather short and simple. I stayed back in school to continue studying in the library and hmm well it was quite productive I would say. I studied from 1030 - ~2 non stop and it was in the afternoon that I started to lose my focus.

Perhaps it was the rain, perhaps it was the company that I have with my friends. Firstly I started doing it alone. Then it was so freaking cold (the aircon) and I decided to move to Madeline and Chew Huan table. And then yeah. Well studying with friends is quite fun, you get to learn from each other and also it's not as boring as it can be.

But anyway, overall, it was a very productive studying period for me. I get lots of things done which is great! Hehe, hope this will continue till O Level is over.

Alright I guess that's all for today. Hmm I'm seriously hating this sore throat, feels like someone is tickling your throat haha. Any tips/suggestions on how to cure it? Okay see ya all then!

Well well, life, here we go again,

Don't give up, there's always something beyond the sky.


Hello people, a beautiful Sunday again. It's weird huh? Like the weather is always changing for the better. Well not that it is weird but, it's beautiful eh? I hope I can be like the weather too, changing for the better. Both in my studies, my emotions, and myself.

Alright what's up with me? Haha

Anyway today was hmm a normal Sunday I would say. Just that I woke up quite early, to, of course, study! I did Chem, Physics and Emath in the morning till afternoon. And then did a little Physics again. Studying is one of my first priorities now. Weet.

Hmm what else, went outside for lunch and did my usual shopping. I cooked this "French onion soup" today and it failed. Badly haha. But it tasted alright I would say, light and sweet and tasty yum. Hmm but yes, I can always improve.

Alright tomorrow I'll be having Chemistry. So gotta wake up early. And talking about wakin up early, I am trying to follow what Mr Andy and Mrs Lee asked us to do. To set up our biological clock by waking up at every 7 A.M. in the morning. I hope I can. So far I'm able to do so, so I hope my biological clock will be set by the O Levels period.

Okay it's time for Chem. And oh, I forgot to say, I'm on... French Leave! Haha, I'm going to study real hard during my French Leave. You guys should do the same too! C'mon we can do it! Hehe. See ya then!

We gotta live like we're dying.

I just haven't met you yet

Taken in the morning, before I got to school.

Hello people, beautiful Saturday eh? It was dark and gloomy in the morning with lots of lightning and thunder roaring, signaling an ominous sign in the atmosphere. Okay, enough of the drama haha.

Well yesterday I had a seriously GOOD SLEEP. Why? I slept fot 12 hours! can you imagine thyat. From 8 P.M. to 8 A.M! Well I woke up for a little while in between these hours but seriously, I had a good sleep. Well I guess I am repaying my sleeping debts, since I have like very little sleep during the week. After all, it's been used for studying and stuff.

Umm what else, oh yeah, I woke up early this morning and.... Study of course. It feels rather weird to study with such a gloomy and boomy weather. But the music keeps me going so yup. And somehow I become more productive when listening to music so yeah. But not to radio.

Well it's 16 more days to O Level, and I don't think I can blog my 300th post before O Level cause I'll be so busy with all the studying. So, I have another plan. And I can't wait for O Level to be over... I just want 13th of November to come like as fast as possible. And again, I am looking forward to both Grad and Prom night. Arrrgh! XD

Right, so I guess I'll stop here, gotta continue studying. See ya then!

It's ironic how I'm learning about conflict. Yet thousands of conflicts are in front of my own eyes.

Irony


Lemon. Ice.

I love lemon tea!


Hello people, long time no blog again. I've been busy studying these days. Hmm yeah, that's what everyone should be doing now. I'm blogging, cause I kinda feel stressed so lets relieve it here.

Well you guys know I've been counting down. So it's officially 18 more days to my big war. The war I've been waiting in like 10 years haha. Sometimes I'm afraid, while sometimes I'm excited. I'm scared for not being able to do well [STOP!, I'll do well!] and I'm excited because I really want to O Level to be over quickly.

I mean, the longer I wait, the more I feel stressed out.

As each day passes, my time is getting shorter. I'm getting more anxious and worried and nervous about O Levels. So I can't stand this feeling. Like when it accumulates in your mind, you feel really uncomfortable and urrrgh. Stressed, depressed, anxious and PARANOID.

I'm serious, I've been feeling these weird, absurd and ridiculous feelings. And thinking of absurd and ridiculous thoughts as well.

But anyway, Mrs Lee was telling us just now about the importance in keeping the stress level low. And well the methods kinda help a lot for me. Should do them more often these day eh. But still I feel really stressed... Arrrgh. I want O Levels to end really quickly and yet I want it to come slowly. It feels so... Ironic!

Oh well, I hope I feel better as time goes by. I just want to go through this examination as smooth as possible. No problems, nothing. And I want to do it good. I want to get the grades that I want. And yes, it's never impossible.

Alright that's all for today I guess then. Won't be blogging as much these days. You know it, all the studying and stuff. See ya then!

Please, I just want to do this examination, and enjoy the rest of my secondary school life, joyfully.

Don't worry I took this picture after my practical!


Oh well, today is just an ordinary Sunday, everything went as usual. I did lots of History today and last night. I'm going to finish it tonight then perhaps do some Physics exercise later on.

Hmm I've decided to stop blogging once I hit my 300th post, which is about uhh 17 more posts. So I'm looking forward to it hehe. It's 22 more days and the time is getting shorter, but no, I'm looking forward to it. Yup! Love thy enemies.

Anyway shall stop here, time for studying. See ya then! I just feel like writing so...

Arrgghh.... Paranoia, paranoia.

Ces't la vie


Enjoy life, like you enjoy a pot of tea.

Actually, it's a soup pot.


Hello people, very fruitful day for me I guess. Went out to study with Sharon, Tacy and YP whom we met later on hehe. Was a productive study I think, did Chem, physics and lit together.

Well I've made up my mind. Studying is my second priority now (after health and any other important things in life). I want to study really really hard till the 13th of November, 8 AM. I want to do well, I want to get good grades. It's my dream and I want to make it into a reality. So yes, study and study and study! Weee...

Today seemed like a gloomy day you know. Well it rained for a little while but then it stopped and then the sky just turned gray for the day. It feels dark, gloomy and saaaaaad. Just like how I feel after pondering about my results. Fear is haunting me that I won't do well but no. Then, I have to overcome it. And don't let it overtake me!

Life is just so complicated. I'm bracing the exam and I am having so much funny thoughts I have in my mind. Or some worst, I'm thinking of RIDICULOUS and ABSURD things in my mind! And I know the reason why. I feel that to every of these funny things I'm thinking, there's a fear behind it.

In conclusion, I'm just being paranoid.

Well that's all for tonight I guess. Going out for dinner later so yup. The days are getting shorter. My time is running out. But my passion? Getting stronger. See you!

Life's so complicated.

I wanna be free!

Wee, today, not so much results but yeah, gotten back EM paper 2 which is VERY disappointing (even though I got an A2, this is not my target). But overall, I got an A1, but that's a prelim A1, not an O Level A1. Arrrgh, and it's all due to my freaking carelessness. WTH!

On the plus side, I have finally achieve my FIRST A-grade in my entire life for a full English Paper! I was shocked, really shocked. But no, I'm not being complacent, I'm going to improve, hope I can get an A1 in O Levels. And congratulations to the sec 4'09 cohort for achieving that 94.7% passes, see, you can do it, who knows we can get 100% passes, and more than 50% of distinctions.

As for my overall results... It is very disappointing, and I really, REALLY want to do much better than this. This to me is not me. I'm sure and I want and I will do better. Oh man, I don't know, I'm freaking out for O'Levels and I really want to do well. I'm sure everyone does right?

But yes, I'll work hard. And put my best shot!

Okay that's all for the results. And on the other hand, the prom night information is out! So I am really really looking forward to it. It's been a great four years I have in Tanglin and I am sure that the Prom night is a proper and fun way. To (I don't want to say it) conclude my chapters of my secondary school life. Sweet memories will always be sweet memories. So treasure it!

And I was looking through Amanda's blog in which I saw this "Where the hell is Matt" video. And I saw this place in Bolivia called Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. It seems like a salt desert and it was so beautiful! The reflection of the sky is like... OMG, I want to go there! It's awesome! Check the picture on top! Hehe.

Well alright that's all I guess, it was a normal day today. And oh, gonna come up to the stage tomorrow, Eeeek! Receiving prize for the World Math Day thingy for the class. Well, feeling normal, haha.

And oh, I hope I won't wake up late tomorrow. I woke up late twice in a row! OMG, this is so stressful haha. Okay see ya then!

I wanna be a bird. Fly to the sky. And grab freedom within me.
