i don't know how to feel cheeky. but i'm the mood to tease.
naughty, naughty. am not supposed to be online now. supposed to come online on monday, then i can deduct a huge number off the number of days column.
shall solemnly promise to keep it a lighthearted entry.
rich boy taro(the comic) is very funny. so stupid and dumb and unrealistic. it's too fantastical for believing. but it's a comic, so it's supposed to be that way i guess.
the new HZGG 3 isn't that bad after all. the ziwei is quite nice. but xiaoyanzi has changed a lot. changing for yongqi. it's really a sad case. at some parts you really want to cry. but i so cannot stand that zhihua(what stupid people call their children zhiqin, zhishu, zhiqi and zhihua?) it means know painting. so her sisters mean know piano, know books, know chess. i can't get over the hilarity of those names. am quite glued to the show.
ooh. and on 17 Nov. some show called fa yan de ai(i think) will start showing. it's a local drama. and has fann wong in it so i'm definitely watching. i miss her shows. when she last acted in the madam white snake i could've fainted. the script was real bad. but i love to see her act. the show about the stock market exchange thing called steps to win was really good. and wild orchids shot aeons ago is really good too. am going to hunt for the vcd of the truth about sam and jane after the O's. she's acting in the drama with christopher lee and tay ping hui. ever since watching the legend of the condor heroes, i've decided that she has to act with christopher lee in shows.
understand that rupert will be going off soon. the week after next i think. i wish lil will just shoo. but i think she's in final two. sad.
i must go. physics needs me. oh i really hate studying. and i haven't started bio and chem and A math.

this is not good. not good.
i know i'm more than halfway done now. and i'm happy. or not.
i seem to refreak after the papers. like english. i wasn't really happy about the papers in the very first place. and now, i'm worrying again. coz everyone has different views and i didn't think the compre was very well done.
chinese today was a killer. paper 1 was quite okay. i felt that i was able to write quite smoothly. paper 2 was disgusting. what is gu xi? how to write chan? stupid xun si. what is tang tu? what is xian yin qing and what is wo nang fei?
cranky. utterly cranky. the probability of me getting F9 is loads greater than me getting A1.

ding dang dong. hickory dickory dock.
have no idea why i thought of that.
math today. i'm happy. i can't say it was a perfect paper. i don't know what's the difference between compound interest and simple interest. common sense told me to do it differently and thankfully, i managed the question.
forgot to bring ruler today. but brought a cumbersome long ruler. just as well.
got stuck on the circles question, but finally understood and got on.
got stuck on the airplane question but solved that too.
God was with me. is too. i know it, else i wouldn't have gotten through it.
forgot to mention. it's the first time in this whole year(po tian huang) that i managed to finish a paper. couldn't check. but i'm happy enough. praise God.
tomorrow's chinese. i loathe studying it coz it's troublesome. shall touch a little. and study majorly tomorrow. have to start physics soon. by the end of tomorrow, i'd have walked half the road. it's going to be over soon.

i. feel. drained.
mentally. physically. drained.
the english compo was a killer. i can't write some dumb story n losing a passport coz i know like everyone writing will have the same plot and i have no intention of being some garnish or boringsville essay.
"what a wonderful sound!" write about some sounds which you like and why it means so much to you.
i wrote that. it got off to a dry and rocky start. mr wong thinks it's a wonderful topic to write about, but i'm sceptical. it ain't easy, crapping monotonously about some sound. so i just prayed and wrote and God led me through the ending part of the essay. i'm surprised that i managed a healthy 450-500 words i think.o maybe a little less.
tired beyond belief after the compo paper. compre was gross. dumbass passage with few substantial points for summary. so i had less words. the compre itself didn't have very good questions.
ss was well. not too good. source-based was a killer. i just kept on contradicting myself and thinking of ways to lengthen my answer. did not cross reference with other sources. as for structured, i did the topic i hate the most and am the worst in:sustainable develpment. couldn't remember the points for sri lanka(what's a political impact?) the 12-mark question seemed fine. but the 13 mark was quite poorly attempted.
i wrote some solid 10 pages of words today. my arm's tired and i'm drained. shall remove ss from my brain and focus on chinese and sciences and add math.
thank goodness for the break tomorrow.

maths paper 1 was well, maths paper 1. like everyone i know finished the paper 30min to 45 min in advance. and only stupid me did it to the last minute. and still couldn't finish the paper.
but i knew, just hadn't the time to draw the freaking graph. so lost 2 marks. and haha. i don't know what's an irrational number.
anyways, i'm jittery now. it's English and SS tomorrow. both are subjects i'm definitely counting for L1R5. i have to bag that English. went through some key English concepts already. let's hope they don't come out with some 'describe your most embarrassing situation' or something. hopefully, it'll be something more in depth. i really pray and wish they'll have nice descriptive topics for me to choose. descriptive is my forte. expository is so-so(meaning quite risky) and narrative is a complete no-no.
also, revised the skills for ss source-based. cher says that they are discontinuing the syllabus. like what? right, we are the initial batches of guinea pigs and the last of the Mohicans. hopefully i can run through the ss later and make the facts stay in my head(obviously they are not).
finally started chinese. the sec 4 words are horrid. but then again, i don't think i intend on doing the other levels. shall just hu2 nong4 guo4 qu4(i think the words exist). hopefully my cloze passage and shaky chinese foundation will get me through. must just do 4B since i've never done it before.
then there are the sciences. must must start. and Add math. i should just die. please oh pretty please, i need A1s badly!
looked at my sister's O'level report. hers was 9 points. her sciences are weaker but her math is stronger. and my english is strong, while her chinese is better(she is genuinely effectively bilingual). sigh. must beat her score. my dad wants me to beat the she-grandchildren results. so that's like better than 8 points.
ack.
