That Daze
Less than 30 hours to that paper.
The subject which I hated the most for 7 years, and then in 2 weeks, the hatred disappear.
Anyway, yes, I'm looking forward to the camp, but looking forward to the camp meant that the paper is nearing. So I'm stuck in between. The good thing of this crappy chinese paper is that I can take a plane to Malaysia. But it also means I'm going to miss alot of lessons. Heck!
Nevermind.. I'll just depend on myself, and persevere and I don't know? Maybe start mugging right after the camp, since there isn't any Heart.Sports on Saturday, so it's like a break. Yeah, I'm going to start studying. Poor me!

Okay, here's the rants. You don't have to read it, really.

I think the government is being really harsh on the sudents. I don't know, but I feel that students who couldn't cope with the study life at the beginning at the age of 11 or 12, would mean that they will definitely suffer in Secondary school and the future. So, yeah. Studying chinese really makes me wonder what's the point of making the student's work so hard for every single subject. I don't know, maybe all the 报章报道 that I've got to memorise, most of them are about teenagers and their causes for their various actions.

Then it got me thinking that it's not the teenager's fault for their actions. It's a fact that students often get discouraged when they get back their test scores or report books, even though they put up a brave front in front of their friends that their poor results doesn't really matter. Be it in the express, normal streams. And because of that, students distress in various ways. Leading them to mix with bad company, if their maturity is not strong enough. That leads to stealing, smoking and getting into various trouble. Then they get scoldings, detentions and all sorts of punishments. How can a student do well and cope well in life and studies?? Though the divorce rate in Singapore is getting higher, the rate of students having depression also increase, no?

So, I hope some government or MOE official chance upon my blog. It's true, maybe no one complains about the higher standards of education in Singapore. But do anyone knows that the students in Singapore are suffering? I guess not, cos' the adults do not understand at all. They usually say that it's for our own good and that Singapore's future lies in our hands. Whatever, you know! If the future lies in our generation then how are we going to handle the kind of pressure at that time, when we lose our teenage-hood? So does that mean we have to carry this pressure with us until the day we retire?

It's based on the view of a 16 year old. So for those who are 20+, good for you, cos' during your times, AT LEAST you had more fun when you're my age.

Okay, I'm done.

Bleh!
It's less than 40 hours to do MT 'O' Level Exam, and I feeling super worried and super stress and super crazy! Crazy==> Bad way.

Seriously, even though I already know the format for 报章报道, I have to learn the details and everything, memorise good endings and details that can help me score high. Not only that, I have to learn 公函. Learn details only. I don't want to waste much time studying for Paper 2 because no one has any idea what's is coming out. I think I'm going to burn the midnight oil tonight, I'm left with no other choices/options. I'm just going to perform my bestest performance on Monday and enjoy my labour afterwards.

Oh.. and the afterwards will be spent in Putrajaya Marriot Hotel for 5 days.
The good news? I'll be enjoying and spending time with God.
The bad news? I'm going to miss 4 days of remedials (all subjects). I've got alot of catching up to do. Which means I'll be grounded for the rest of the holidays.

Now, I shall go and be tortured by Chinese and face this trial with joy :P

Within the Boudaries

It hasn't been a while since everything falls into place.
I'm sleepy again, as usual. I'm getting really nervous for the Chinese paper that is in a week's time. I'm like every student, working my guts out like every normal day. Life sucks.
The routine every single day is the SAME!!
Wake up-->Bathe-->Breakfast-->Blow-dry hair/Tie hair-->Off to school-->Lessons-->Home.
Then, homework, etc.. I'm sick and tired of slogging my guts out, BUT students do NOT have a choice. Yeah, like me. Just like me. Once I can't manage my time well, I'm doomed for the rest of the week. And then another week begin, and soon I'll be wasting half a year. What the heck, right?

So.. all I do is rant to distress, play to distress, complain and flood my room with screams TO DISTRESS. A student's life will be sometimes end in a hospital OR a "mad-people" hospital.
You know what I mean. At the mean time, my sloggings and sufferings had merely begun.
I think criminal's should be sentenced to 10 years of a student's life.
Advantages: They can learn the school values, educate themselves and gain morals.
Disadvantages: The students will be in danger.
But to solve the disadvantages, build a school JUST for the criminals.

Great idea, ya? Anyway, adults will think it's bullshit. So what's the point of students going to school, when they think that our ideas are bullshit?

Chocolato!
Most probably, I'm trying to compose myself these few days.
It's so difficult you know!
Knowing that Chinese 'O's are super near, and everyone seemed so stress.
It's hard to break the barrel and laugh it off.
So, I had to just shut up. I know, I laugh too much, and it's so difficult that for once, no one will play along with your lame jokes. Maybe this is a time for me to learn how to be serious :p


Oh yes, I'm absolutely having a dreadful and insane (this insane= stress) time of my life. I have Chinese homework EVERY SINGLE DAY. And suddenly I realised it's still a miracle that I did not forget how to speak and write English. Everyday is Chinese, from 7.40-2.10pm. It's been a long time since I wrote my English name, english sentences or listen to teachers in ENGLISH.
Yes, this is call "SOAKING YOUR BRAIN IN ENTIRELY CHINESE". Sometimes, I feel I'm in China :p


To further entertain myself (also preventing me from sleeping), I mastered the act of speaking in a China Accent. Ooohh!! Can't help it, my second period teacher is from China, and well, I was bored :D I also made various trips to the toilet, cherished 2 recess time and cherished the breaks that beloved teachers offer. And I continuously felt HUNGRY!!
Which is bad, horrid and hate it lots! I kept on eating and still feel hungry!!??
But, maybe studying helps losing some weight, ooohhh!! Cool thinking, Sheryl :P

Okay, enough of nonsense. As what my dad says: You're 16, behave like one. (He usually says that INDIRECTLY, which is obvious ;)) I think I'll proclaim if I survived this ICC. Oh and I realised, that I sleep ALOT. Nap= 3-4 hours, sleep= 6-7 hours. Average total? 9-11 hours.

I became a Chee-Na Pig. Eat, sleep, Study.
But I'm a smart, intelligent, crazy Chee-na pig.

Oink Oink~!

Chinese Wrapped and Tied In A Bow
Intensive Chinese Classes (ICC) is really crazy.
Yes, everyone knows I hate Chinese, it's a pretty horrible subject especially, your parents don't speak Chinese to you since the day you were born. It's really hellish and a difficult subject for me to cope as well as concentrate. Usually, I'll just fall asleep or do something else. If I can get a B3 for 'O's, you'll see me jumping like a like bouncing fishballs. Okay, it's really random, but I'm picturing fishballs bouncing on the floor, like ping pong balls. The results from the MYE are back, partly.. E Math is so horrid, that I wanted to shred my papers in a shredder machine. Whereas Science, well, it's expected, I didn't prepare well for it, cos' I concentrated more on Chinese and did not really revise for Biology, and Chemistry.

Though our VP advised us to cut down on unecessary stuff, I will, but 15 minutes of blogging will not affect the rest of my day. I've woken up from my sleepless and dreamy dreams, and realised that I should spend sufficient time on studies, and probably start handling my schedule well, so I'll be able to do what I'm supposed to do.
So yes, ONLY 15 MINUTES. That's all :

Okay, tata.. It's Chee-Na time.
我是华人, 要学华语.
我一定能做到!!

La Vie En Rose
Okay, went fo STAR TREK movie after the dreadful papers on Friday. It was awesome. Chris Pin is hot!! Yeah, so cute. At least I'm attracted to men, not women. Or else I'll have some problems :p Anyway, had Pepper Lunch after a really long time of craving it. Then off to church :D

So I'm laughing till today, which is a good thing. I hate the feeling worried, stress and pressurised, though a little is good. But I prefer looking at things on the brighter side of life.
So, I began my revision for Chinese already, which is very shocking. I hate chinese, generally.
But for the promising results, I'm left with no other choices.
I was lat for 8am service today(SUNDAY) , due to my lack of sleep for the whole of last week, and only managed to gain a little back on Saturday. Hence, the eyebags.
I finally broke my record of shopping. Went to Wisma to get everything I wanted. So, I'm feeling a little overjoyed. Shopping makes me happy too :D

It'll be NAPFA test in 7 hours time. So, I'm going to head to bed now.

*I'll be putting up a tagboard soon, so I'll b contactable online :p

Urgent!
So.. I left 2 more papers, and 1 more day. Why must E math be the last paper of all? It's a hard time to cope, and it's also the end of the week, I wouldn't be putting in my best and last effort for that paper, I think. I'm drained out for this Mid-Year exams.

I'm sleeping early today :D

Supergirl
Yep, it sucks. Math. Whatever. I'm loving Chinese more than loving Math.
Okay, I'm prepared to face the consequences. Seriously. Anyway, my agreement with my dad is a sper win-win situation. Even if I fail or did badly for his favourite subject, Math. I still get a new mp3. How cool right? I love my Dad, but obviously I also love my Mum. Though at times we can't stand each other, and I become rude to them, I still love them! Even if I can choose my parents, I will choose them AGAIN. Yeah, they're the coolest. Though I complain, yeah, I'm a spoilt child, but I'm a good spoilt :D

Okay, enough said. Yes, some told me that there's no good or bad spoilt. Spoilt = Bad, but yeah, I'm an acceptable exception. I have my good side too. Okay, stop it Sheryl, there's a limit to self-praising :p

First of all, A math paper suck alot. Really.
Okay, I'm back to memorising stuff :p
Poor me, poor brain cells. It's okay, y'know. It's so much BETTER than Math.
I don't think any math teacher actually impacted my life to make my grades jump from one range to another. Yah, ermm.. we can tell by my results since primary school. Horrible right? :'(

TATA :D

Pain in the ass
Anyway, today's paper is definitely a killer paper. It's super difficult, and the questions get tougher by each increasing number. Sucks right? Yeah, seriously, it's really difficult. Since I did not want to leave any quesions blank, I did everything, and even resort to putting dumb answers which obviously didn't make much sense, like err.. inventing my own formulas. How cool right? It's dumb la, to admit it. I was laughing at my stupidity when I start thinking about it. To compare from Sec 1 till now, today's performance was the worst. It was the first time I actuall invent my own formulas. Imagine seeing my face on the newspaper.
Hahahahahahaha, great joy!

Oh and tomorrow is like dreadful too. I hate both subjects. Chemistry and A Math. It's going o kill me. Well, A Math is generally easier than E Math, cos' the formulas and the how the question twist and turn, the solution is always the same. Oh gosh, if I fail Chemistry, I think I'll just die. I must break this curse of failing Chemistry time and again. Last year I got scolded in front of the whole class because I slept almost every Chemistry lesson. I just can't understand Chemistry. Does the future looks like we'll be calculating moles and using general equations everyday? I think we should have subjects like practical life lessons. Like how to manage your money or perhaps how not to get caught in debt or even how to prevent getting a jerk as a husband. That will definitely apply to us, and we will use it everyday in future. Cool huh??
But of course, MOE disagrees with me.
Oh right, I shall stop inventing subjects of my own like how I invent my own formulas. Hahaha, come to think of it, it's pretty hilarious. Lol. Can't help it, but it's just Mid-Year Exams, you know, 'O' level is the time of your life. Maybe. For now.

Can't wait for the exams to end, I'm feeling really stress right now, and when I am stress, I entertain my distractions. So.. that should be another subject. How not to entertain distractions.
Okay, enough rubbish and more thinking.
Revision, revision, revsion.

Goodbye computer, and hello books! :p

A simple word means no harm.
[Exclaimer: You don't have to read this, it's just my ranting!]

I can't take it anymore.
What's the point of havin tuition and feeling pressurize at the same time?
And have to rush through homework time and again.
Tomorrow's E Math (1). And I just got fired by my tutor, how hilarious right?
It's insane. I was tearing when my tutor was marking my papers. I already felt wsuper stressed out already, and time and again rushing to do her POA homework before her lesson.
Usually, I look forward to Wednesday as it's my favourite day of the week, because it's the only day school's end early, unless we have to do some last minute staying back in school fo classes.
But since I got dance out of the way, tuition came and I cannot manage my time properly as everything is so cramped up, plus I have church commitimens every Wednesday night.
Whatever, I'll just rely on Mrs P right now.

I'm Sorry.
Every song I hear reminds me of you.
Everything I do reminds me of you.
I'm done and can't take it anymore.
It's insane.
I hate you.
You think I enjoy this?
No.

Today's paper is a writing marathon. My hands were going to break. Thank God that everything I hoped for came out. Hooray for late nights! Risking my eyebags were worth it.
Today is going to be another long night. History paper tomorrow.
The social studies notes are still rooted in my head.

"As countries trade and open their doors to investments, they earn more revenue. Governments in turn make use of these revenue for developments of education, health, defence, housing and transportation..."

I have to delete it and then restore it back after the exams. Oh goodness, thank God that history there's lesser stuff to memorise compared to social studies. Or else I'll be dead, like literally.
Haha, I recall another social studies statement from Economic Impact under Talent.

"An increase of a worker's mobility may lead to a situation of brain drain..."

It's insane. Later I'm going to have a hellish time. Can you believe it? I actually ate my dinner at 10pm yesterday. It crazy. The exmas are killing me, probably stoning me as well.
While I was memorising social studies yesterday, I suddenly see blurry images and became dizzy. I better not fall sick, I can't afford to.

So, I shall continue on my internet surfing as it's one of the advancement of technologies as it transforms how one communicate, conducts business...

Ooops, it happened again.
But I sound intellectual, which is good :p

Bare in the Head
Oh yeah, life's tough.
I've got to memorise so much stuff, and rumours said that the brain can only store up to 2000 sentences. I think I couldn't make it to 2000, probably 500.

I'm done with Development in Globalisation. And left with 1 paragraph to complete Impact.
Yes, it's crazy. After I'm done with the chunck of paragraph, I'm moving onto Diversifying the Economy and nurturing youth and other stuff related to Globalisation.

I left 4 essays to memorise, and I'm done.
Globalisation is sucky.

Sunday, May 3, 2009
Yes, it's insanity.
Oh yeah, bring on the eyebags and the midnight oil.
This is hell. I just realised examinations are bad for students.
Studying=Memorising.
Our brain space is limitted. Like seriously.

But I'll just rattle on and on, cos' in the end I'll still study.

Thank you books.
