The start of the 'A' Levels.

Chinese Paper 1 so-so. First time I wrote so much for composition. Damn happy. Ci Yu was surprisingly fine too. Duan Ping sucked. Yu Yi was great...I think. Comprehension...I hope I'm lucky.

Chinese Paper 2 totally sucked! Wa lau eh, damn freaking difficult! Wrote like shit for most of the questions. Frankly, quite disappointed but no point moping over it.(I'll still mope over it anyway.) Feel that I'll certaintly disappoint Mr Sim. Very very sorry!
Had a 'great' time poking holes and threading up my answer booklets. MOE should at least give us answer booklets with holes, or provide punchers. My fingers are quite black from poking holes. Not to mention they hurt too!

Aside from the shitty Chinese paper, I felt very touched when I received the following SMSes yesterday. :D

20:44:24 - Michelle : Hey girls! Good luck for Chinese tomorrow! Stay calm k, and write well...! Just relax!
22:28:57 - Joanna : Hi all! Joanna here, all the best for tmr! I'm sure u ll all do great! :)
22:28:59 - Nicolle : Hello. All the best for your chinese paper tmr!
22:30:41 - Weiling : Hello...All e best for tml's paper! Jia you! Write faster and stay calm!
22:31:23 - Lan : Hey, gd luck to ur exam, sure u'll do well mama, i have trust in u
22:33:51 - Tommie : Hey guys...Good luck for your paper tmr. All best. Look forward at what's ahead of you and dont look back. Stay focused. DONT PANIC. God Bless.
22:34:58 - Bjorn : Hey jiahui! Tmr's d-day huh. All the best! No fret! Haha. Just whack man...:)
22:37:01 - Ray : Hey. All the best for your Chinese paper tmr.
22:38:50 - Wee Keat : All the best...!
23:31:18 - Li Ming : Chingu ah! nae-il fighting! jal-hae! I'm sure you'll do great:) Hope you get this in time!
23:41:50 - Andrew : Jiayou! All e best angels!
07:11:38 - Ying Qian : All the best for chinese.

If you realised, the times I received the messages were all rather close to each other. That's because Tommie sent a message to all off them to tell them about us having Chinese today. So sweet of Tommie to do so and thanks to everyone who sent me messages :D I really appreciated it!

Baccalaureate Service 2005

We had the Baccalaureate Service yesterday. Well, as expected, it was freaking boring except for Paul Lock's speech which was really hilarious. The only fun parts were one, when the teachers sang a song for us, and two, the end of the service. My form teacher didnt know the lyrics to the song so she basically just sang the parts she knew, which were minimal. During the song, 2SB4 gave their form teacher an almost-like-bouquet-but-not-so-bouquet(meaning not that big) of flowers. That was really sweet of them. Our class only gave our form teacher a bear hug. I recorded a really lousy and short clip of Mdm Lim singing, so yup, download if you want to.

Seriously, it was kind of sad that it was the last day of our formal education(copied Paul Lock), even Mdm/Mrs(?) Chia Su Fern cried while delivering her speech. However, what was good about it was that many unhappy incidents that happened over the past 2 years were forgotten and friendships were re-forged. Ok, I sound rather sappy here but whatever la. Anyway, after the service, we proceeded to take lots of photos and some really dumb videos. It was a really fun session.

We also received our report cards yesterday and the class rep and subject reps all received a nice thank-you card from Mdm Lim Jen See. Tommie also gave each of us a hand-written card. So sweet of him!

During the reception, while everyone was continuning to take photos or busily stuffing their faces with cakes, I went to take a photo of my favourite toilet in school. The Oldham wing toilet! The toilet there is really cool as the toilet bowl is elevated off the ground. Makes one feel tall...Ok, I'm talking shit here.

After taking photos, eating(reception) and talking, our class left for Orchard Cineleisure to watch The 40-year-old Virgin. To tell the truth, that's like the lousiest show I've ever watch. Unless you're really into nudity and sex, the show really sucked(no pun intended). The show was rather long and draggy and I dont understand what's the significance of the Andy guy singing some 'Aquaris, Venus, Jupiter' song after he finally lost his virginity at the end of the show. One word, idiotic. I way prefered Corpse Bride which was rather touching at the end(I cried) and the music was damn good, though the show was only 1 hour and 15 min short.

After the show, everyone basically just parted and Kym, Nic and I went to this cafe to eat...

FONDUE~! It was seriously freaking goooood!

The ice-cream filled strawberry was really heavenly when dipped into that Swiss chocolate or something. Freaking worth the money!!!

There were lots of fondue chocolate left even after we finished the marshmallows, strawberries, blah blah blah. Therefore, Kym and Nic decided to ...DRINK THE LEFTOVER CHOCOLATE!! OMG, sick! That's like drinking concentrated chocolate!

In the midst of eating, or rather, drinking, Kym realised that she left her waterbottle in the cinema and had to go and find it. Blur queen! The last time we went to Cine, she dropped her wallet. Yesterday, she dropped her wallet again but realised it in time but left her waterbottle behind instead. Plus, she later dropped her spectacle cloth. The waterbottle got thrown away by the cleaners in the end. However, when Kym went to make a report with lost-and-found, the guy there asked her how to spell 'ORANGE'! OMG, I couldnt stop laughing when he asked that. He sounded so much like Mean Girls' Karen.

Anyway, the staff, instead of telling us that the cleaners threw away the bottle, they made us wait for the current movie to finish screening before they allowed us to enter the theatre to search for something that wasnt there already...Fuck. So, while waiting, the 3 of us just plopped ourselves on the 6th Level couches, totally ignoring the prescene of the 2 smooching couples there who were so involved in each other. We then took photos with the Harry Potter cutouts. The people there were quite wtfed I think becuase we made lots of noise and talked a lot of crap.

This post is getting far too long so I guess I'll end here with a photo of a cool car from Cine. HAPPY GRADUATION ACSIANS!

Photoshoot

Tommie messaged everyone yesterday to tell them that today's a very important day and that everyone must attend school. Those clever ones who straight away understood what Tommie meant brought cameras. Those blur-blur-what's-going-on ones on the other hand did not. I belonged to the latter. Damn! I forgot that today's the last day of school and so there would be this farewell photoshoot. In fact, I was so blur that I was still wondering why the hell there were so many freaking flashes in the morning today. It didnt dawn on me that people were taking farewell photos till the first period of the day, when Bjorn and Ray told me. Why couldnt they tell me earlier so that I could have had brought my camera...!

We first took a class photo with our Chemistry teacher Wong Tze Yang. We had to pose for 6 freaking cameras and I really thought that my face was going to freeze in that 'konica' expression forever. At the end of the shoot, the guys wanted to tau-pok Wong Tze Yang but he declined saying that he was skinny enough. WTF? Getting tau-poked can lose weight one meh?

The next photoshoot took place after GP with Ms Too Suat Ling. We had to smile for 6 cameras again. This time we took so freaking long that the whole of 2AA1 waited outside the classroom for us for like 10min. As expected, their teacher gave us this 'siam la, you barbarians are wasting my precious time ok' look. Barbarians because Tommie basically kicked away all the chairs at the back of the classroom so that they wouldnt block us, plus, we didnt really rearrange them back later.

Today's Physics lesson was my, and everyone else's, favourite one out of the two years of Physics classes in JC. Reason being, we did not do any Physics-related thing today at all :D Mdm Lim Jen See was on her phone when we pulled Mdm Sophia Ng into our classroom to take photos with her. Our photographer was none other than Ms Too. Haha, three teachers in the same classroom at one time! After Mdm Sophia Ng left, Mdm Lim Jen See allowed us to take photos for the rest of the lesson. Actually we didnt really get her permission la, I just made that up. So, yup, laughter and flashes(from the cameras) filled the room. Damn...I didnt bring my camera so no pictures now till I get them from all those who brought cameras. Then again, I just found out that my photoshop has just experienced death. Damn again.

During Maths lesson, as you might have guessed, we didnt do anything again but take photos. Tommie, Bjorn, Ray, Wee Yang were trying to take some suggestive photos in class by themselves and that was seriously very weird. Innocent Kym didnt get why Nicolle and I were laughing and eew-ing our heads off. More weird photos followed before Wee Yang had his family photo taken. Ping Hwei was seriously hilarious because he went to tuck his shirt all the way in and buttoned up every single button on his uniform. Very toot. After that, we even took a photo with Mr Tan Kian Heng! That's like so rare because he always avoids the camera. Then again, maybe it's due to Wee Keat always taking his photos in class that Mr Tan developed a phobia or something.

At the end of everything, the guys made Ray give a speech and proceeded to tau-pok him after he finished. However, it looked more like stripping than tau-poking. Ray tried to reason with the guys as to why they shouldnt do that but to no avail, he still got stripped and photographed in the end. While he was buttoning up his shirt, Eileen's friend entered the classroom and then she saw Ray. Following that, she ran out of the classroom screaming. Haha. Next, Ping Hwei got stripped too. Righteous Ray joined in too even though 5 minutes before, he was trying to dissuade the guys from stripping him. Ping Hwei kept screaming 'Noo-noo' throughout his 'ordeal'...haha, he sounded as if he was getting raped of something. While the guys were having fun in the front of the classroom, all the girls were trying to save their eyes by looking somewhere else :D

Received the class photo today. As photoshop is dead for now, all I can put up here is this very grainy picture that originated from a lousy quality video...
