SCREW IT!

Fuck it! Fuck it!
Damm Geog.. I can't believe i got a C when I am aiming for an A!
And Econs and Lit, was expecting a D or E yet get B for both! WTF??
And GP - Worst! B bloody 3 la! WTF... No A's at all..

So what if I get promoted? No more S Papers.. No scholarship for me... Great. I have to depend on my parents for money again..

Haha.. I was just ranting in the afternoon. Thought it through. No point to rant also.. Wasted energy only.. Guess i'm just really disappointed with myself. Why did i make such a mistake? Hopefully my summer test is strong enough for geog to pull me up to a B instead of a C. But very unlikely... Oh well.. that's life. You lose some, you gain some..

Normally, i would say "Next time i'll work harder", but this time, I worked sooo hard and get this result. How can i use that cliche again? Oh well.. I'll just do my best and see how A Levels go lor... Can't wait to launch into the 200 DRQ questions Madam Mas gave!

And Mdm Mas, if you're reading this somehow, i'd like to thank you for your effort and time in helping me. Sorry I disappointed you in anyway... Let's just hope my A levels is an A instead of a (surprise surprise!) C for geog.

-Jho. Sleep. WR-ing.

P.S. Now i must watch what i blog about teachers.. Just realised they are humans too and are quite tech savvy! Eeeks!

14th October 2005

My Birthday

Woke up in the morning with 6 smses.
Mel
Latifah
Richard
Mom
Elsa
Macdonalds - I know... Haha!

And got a call from Da Allan & Nigel! I love you guys! Huggggsss!
Hehehe.. It was actually the call that woke me up, otherwise, I would have slept till 1 or 2pm at least!

And as the day went by, a few more came in. Tonnes on Friendster and MSN. You guys do care afterall! Haha.
But perhaps, not all... But I guess in life, you have to give and take. It's just another day anyway.
Practising the power of ZEN

Now going to have a small celebration with family. Bigger celebration (dinner) will be tomorrow/Sunday with grandpa.

Went to the gym today. Finally... got back into my routine. Gonna run sprints tomorrow. And maybe do some swimming.. Hopefully I will not procrastinate!

Hmmm.. My mouth damm itchy! I know it sounds wrong, but I'm just dying to SING! To Harmonise! Gosh...

--------------------------------

Just came back from the void deck.

Joe came over and celebrated with my family. Had cake and watched old videos of my family when we were kids.. haha.. laughable hair and fashion sense!

Then we chatted and stuff... Went downstairs, he got ice-cream, i got snickers bar.. Talk about "friendship" and "types of birthday celebrations"... It was nice.

He got me a book! - "How To Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci - Seven Steps to Genius Every Day" Read a chapter.. Very inspirational..

He me a cute coaster that matched my room colour.

And He got me a bookmark, a classy metallic hammer with a small leather strap. ^_^ It was a very cool gift to recieve..

Yanting wrote me a short letter and a small soft toy

Junkai + Chua gave me <>

Sis insisted on buying a CD, so instead of buying Michael Buble - It's Time (which i can get from Joe to burn), I told her to get me Latoya London's album. Yes Latoya has an album out now!! Go get it!

Mom gave me $_____. And Dad bought my colour contacts ^_^

- Jho. Sleep. Track training.

Back from a long hiatus

Sweet

First i would like to thank JunKai for delivering my birthday present. This sweet sweet guy, travelled ALL THE WAY from Serangoon (and straight from school somemore) to Choa Chu Kang just to give me my gift!

He gave me
(1) Chocolate Cake with Banana fruit [Chua's Idea.. thanks!]. And my family's hands were all over it! I had to snatch it away and say it is mine...
(2) a GORGEOUS self made card with GREEN all over! And well-wishes from the members of TONE. It's an absolutely fabulous gift!
Materialism aside, the effort he put into the card and time spent travelling, it's truly touching. Really.

Mid course Exams (a.k.a Promos)

It's not bad.
GP - Worried. Might just get an A2 only or worst, a B3 or B4! Ahhhh!
Economics - This one is a tricky one. Seems like I can get a B or C, but may end up with a D afterall
Geography - Another tricky one. Most probably a B on the maximum
Literature - Worst. Most uncertain. Made bold attempts, thus a little worried. A secured D but a possible C

Birthday

This goes out to those who have wished me a happy birthday so far. Such as Yanting, Mel, JunKai, Jeremy Chua, Da Nigel, Da Allan, Angie.

And to those who didn't, It's my Birthday! Show some love please! Hahhaha.. Kiddin'

Since it's the day that I was born, allow me some space to be a Guru here.
Wise words: ZEN. Block out negativities. People just need to know how to Zen. I'm not asking one to walk away in times of trouble. But thing is, you have to not-fret about things which you have no control. A philosophy i learnt most reccently.

An example? If you have ONE Day left to study for your paper, instead of fretting and constantly thinking how you will be able to cope, just block that out and study. It's a more productive method as compared to constantly fretting and in the end, not able to get anything at all into the head. Rather not fret and absorb 30% of the content than fret and absorb 10% right?

Zen-ing blocks negativities and thus promote organic and healthy productivity of one's soul.

Weird

I feel a little out of place currently. Firstly, October 14 is normally a time ( for 4 years running) for exams for me. I have never had a birthday for 4 years now that doesn't involve a paper the next day. This is the first time this happened in 4 years.

Secondly, the exams are over and I ain;t studying anymore, at least for a few days.. It's a break in the routine. Very weird. I'm not saying i ain't enjoying this freedom though. Just not many people to share it with.

Thirdly, this birthday seems to be just another day. Just a passing cloud. No significance. Hmmm...



Should listen to Natalie Grant - Held. It's an absolutely fabulous song!
Time to pack my room soon! It's in a total mess with books and files everywhere!
Time to get back into the gym routine.
Time to start my Track training again for the finals on 21st.
Time to catch up on my reading.
Time to live a slower paced life again..

-Jho. Sleep. Gym. Birthday.
