i've always loved rainy days in the past. it wld mean a cooling weather to sleep in, no PE and i'll juz feel very calm and happy.
the past week was everything but tt.
i was told to stop work on fri, sat and sun nite. then mon late noon i called the person. there was a job at this new pl, female environment.but before tt he seem rather pissed off, and kept saying how come i have not been turning up, and i had to keep reminding him that it was he who told me not to come. so, when tt was cleared up and he told me to meet at the new pl, i had to tell him that i cldn't come cos i was not feeling well. it was my first day of menses. i didn't wanna risk it by making a scene at the new work pl. and he was not pleased with my excuse. damn. it felt like he was firing me and that i'm not gg to have my pay. he says he can't gurantee me the job and ask me to call again tmr.
i was extremely upset. was i being conned for 36hrs of hardwork and standing? i cried. i was so confused. then i msg him and ask i was still getting paid for te 3 days.
in turn, he gave me a call, and an explanation. he said he was extremely busy with so many calls coming in, so perhaps tt's why his tone may have scared me to think i've lost my job. he tot i wanted to quit... but, ya anyway, he cleared the air, and it's better now. however, i still have no idea if i'll get the job at the new pl. i really want to.. he says this one is more 'long term'... and somemore is female environmt... so much better than the prev one..
anyways, i regreted not gg.. cos my tummy didn't really ached afterall.. so, i'll juz have to pray that there are still vacancies tonite.. and tt i'll get the job... hai. another fren will be coming along, but she mentioned smthg abt admin.. hmm.. we'll see.. i juz wanna earn as much before this fri's pay day...
working is not fun at all. neither is schooling. but at least work got salary. hopefully, with my new fren's company, i won't feel so miserable.
btw, ryan and melody from so u think u can dance are in town!!! oh my gosh!!! so cool pls! i wanna see then dance!!! haha.. i wanna take a photo wif ryan doing some crazy stunt on his head.. lol!

i survived 3 days!
yes!!! i've survived 3 days of work!!! i can't believe it! cos i tot i was feeling unwell on the second nite cos of the heat in the pl.. the pl is air-conditioned, but when things move at a fast pace, it can get pretty hot and stuffy at times... i was contemplating whether or not to take a cab home at 11plus.. i was afraid if i waited til after midnite, there may not be cabs ard... i was almost tearing.. it was such a scary feeling: to feel sick and yet there weren't ppls ard who cld comfort me..i wished my frens were there.. i somehow survived til break at 1230. then after break, i was feeling so much better... and i continued to work till 8am...
day 3: the mixed feeling started when i was on the train to bedok... i dunno how to describe my feeling.. it's like i felt 'sick' having to go to work, but yet i think it's ridiculous to have such a feeling cos the job scope is so easy. pack pack pack.. so what am i scared abt? probably cos it's such a far place fr hse and tt i was afraid my period wld come during work, AND becos my frens weren't there with me to make work/break less dull...
A strange thing i've observed is that there's alot of black dirt in my nose when i dig it.. it's kinda disgusting and scary... dunno issit becos i've been hanging ard wif ppls who smoke... not that i sit directly next to them.. but sometimes, i'm juz a distance away... i've alr tried my best to stay away from them as far as possible.. think i'll somehow become a passive smoker by the time i quit :S
oh, on the fourth day, on the bus to outram, jim the guy from the agency, called and said work was cancelled for 2 days. i was kinda happy and sad at the same time. happy that i have a decent break after 3 long working days. sad that i can't earn these 2 days money... kinda felt sorry for wl and her frens too cos they cldn't come to work either.. hopefully, sun nite, they'll need us back... prays hard!! sun is 80 bucks.. although my mum says it's supposed to be double of 66, i think 80 is still alot of money for a day's work...
come to think of it, my monthly allowance in the past was $200, but now, for juz 12x3hrs, i'm getting $198.. not bad huh? haha.. well, it's my first job, so as long as the pay is decent, i'm trying not to think abt how well other jobs are paying... rite now, i can only use money as a form of moltivation for working... i can't wait to go shop!!!

first day at work
yesterday, i went down to bedok mrt to fill in the application form for some CD packer job... the person ask when i cld start work. and i said asap. that evening, at 5, she called and told me to get ready for the job, by gg down to AMK mrt, so that they cld fetch us to the workplace.
when i told my mum abt it, she was strongly against the idea. we had a huge arguement over it. she didn't wanna let me go, cos i didn't even noe the name of the company and she felt that the person in charge was irresponsible by not picking up the phone. -.- then i was telling, and crying, abt how everyone has gotten a job, and they all have some sort of employment history but i didn't have any. and i needed the cash to go Aus. at that point, my mum actually told me she'd pay for my trip, so that i dun have to go work. hai.. the last straw: she said i may sacrifice 12hrs for nothing, but i said it's worth a try, if i dun like den dun do. but wat if it's something tt i'm capable of doing? wouldn't i waste away the opportunity.. drama drama.
she did let me go in the end, though my dad and aunt were also saying dun go.
on the way, i pretty anxious. i'm afraid wat my mum said is true abt the company being a scam and then she wld say: i told u so. when the van arrived, there were like 10 other ppls who board it..
we reach the building at ard 8. then the 2 in-charge were juz busy with everything else and we the newcomers were juz stoning. finally at 8 plus9, we started work. motorola was our job. we were supposed to pack in the various components into the motorola box via the conveyor belt. there were 4 of such belts in that place.. besides that we had to fold the boxes into the shape...
what i was irritated, is that we the newcomers weren't given a proper briefing abt our job, salary, and days of work. i heard it's ard $68, for the night shift(which i'm doing) and we have to work like 6 days a week?! oh my god.
anyway, i survived. it was piece of cake, except we had to stand thruout. but there were a couple of breaks...
SO, thank goodness i went for the job. i can't wait to get paid..
oh btw, today is not only the first day of work for me, it's also the first time i slept on the train, AND MISSED MY STOP!!! oh my! i heard 'next stop, bouna vista' and then i was like, 'huh?!' LOL
i hope yh and wl cld join me at work... the frens i made were the other newcomers.. all malays, except for this other lady who prob went to do clerical work.. the ppls there were mostly teenagers... but i dun really see anyone that looked and act my age... hmm.. nvm.. i'm juz interested in the pay.
12 hrs aside for the work, i think i need another 1.5hrs each for gg and coming back.. which mean, i only have like 24-(12+3)= 9 hrs to myself... maybe 5-6hrs of slp and then stone for rest of the time...
the good thing abt working the nite shift besides that pay is that i dun have to wake up like at 5.30am to get ready. it's more likely that i'll oversleep in the morning than in the evening.
hope i'll be able to survive for like a month at least... but i'll need a new pair of jeans cos the one i'm wearing is gg to stink soon... eeks!

job hunting sux!
have been looking at the Recruit section since last thu.. cldn't really find a suitable job. main reason being i dun want to commit myself to more than 2mths.. this is becos i'll be gg to Aus, if we follow the plan, in jan... hmm.. but it's really difficult to get a job with decent pay, eg.admin/data entry, when they want the ppls to commit for at least 3mths. damn.
despite the potenital money woes that i tot i'll have in this month, i am so blessed to have parents who sympathesize with me and give me pocket money.. but, my mum is still pretty annoying, expecting me to clean up the entire house like a maid cos she's given me money.. argh...
yesterday, i tot i've secured myself a job with a decent pay. it's some packing job. i went down all the way to admirality mrt station to fill up the form and then handed in. the person in charge looked at it, says 'oh, u can do the night shift issit?', and asked 'when can u start work?'. i said either today or tmr.. then she gave me this paper and said, these are the things to bring if i call you by today.. So, i tot, sure get one la! it seems like it's a plus point tt i'm willing to do the nite shift. and the piece of paper was for me to make sure i brg the necessary stuff.. but damn, i waited the whole afternoon, sleeping with my phone next to me, but e phone nv rang. damn.
i shld have went for a second one at AMK mrt too.. then at least i got more chance of getting a job.
there are a few companies tt are recruiting for this position.. so, i'll try my luck later on at abt 3places... hope i get the job asap and start work immediately. the pay is pretty decent, esp the overtime pay on sat and sun... but i dunno exactly wat to do during the job, so perhaps it cld be VERY TOUGH... i hope i can perservere.. the money is too good... can buy so many things... the thg tt i'm interested now: prison break vcd... AH!!!! good luck to moi !

the big day finally arrived. the day didn't really start out well, cos i had to wait for sw.again. sas quite annoyed cos i had to carry some bulky stuff and walk along orchard on my own. when she finally arrived, we had to walk a distance before reaching the orange building of orchard parade hotel.. then we went up the room, and gary was there alr. the room is pretty big, has a 'closet' area, a toilet with bath tub and shower area separated, and 4 beds! and cable tv!!! soon after, the others(eve, cheryl, jie, amanda) start arriving, including the makeup artiste. eve, sw and cheryl all didn't wanna be first, so i had to be 'sacrificed'. haha, but it turn out to be a good thing. the straightening of my hair took ard 2hrs which was way past the time meant for each person's makeup and hair session. but i muz say i like my hair straight. feels so good. lol. so by ard 5 plus, all except eve and cheryl were ready.. the 3 of them curled their hair, which was pretty fast compared to my straightening. then by 6 plus, only the 4 of us were still in the hotel cos we weren't ready. all of us were getting pretty anxious, wondering if we'd make the 'grand entrance' finally, at 7.40pm, more than 1 hr past the registering time, we left the room and hailed a cab.. 'nervous, nervous,nervous'. jie, who was alr there told us that we were sitting right in front of the stage. Oh shit!!! when we reached at the meritus mandrian hotel, everyone at the entrance seemed to be staring at us. i didn't have my specs on, so i cldn't really see them. at the lobby, the 4 of us were all clueless as to where the ballroom was.. juz wandering all over before finally figuring out that it was on 6th fl, which the lift didn't stop at. and so it made us panic for another while, thinking why are we so unlucky. turns out, there is no lift at the 6th fl. So I think it's pretty dumb tt they even have the button there. When we finally arrived at the ballroom, THANK GOODNESS! It wasn't anything like we imagined. It was rather messy..everyone was walking ard, taking pics.. phew. We found our table soon and well, we didn't miss much as the beginning were juz speeches by a few GOH. The prom, was definitely v different from tt of ntss. E moment we sat down, we were hurried to fill in e prom king and queen nomination. Instead of everyone sitting down and eating together, ppls were allowed to walk ard and take photos.. as a result, some of us missed some of the food served. The food was alrite. I felt that we didn't eat much cos there were so many stage games in and performances in between. And the prizes for the lucky draw. OH MY GOD. There was crumpler bag, Olympus camera and and ipod nano wif 8GB. Damn! I didn't win any as usual. eve was lucky, but her prize was a men's wallet and watch. But still, she won! What was everyone wearing??? From retro to formal, sexy to skimpy. But definitely, everyone looked really gorgeous. The prom queen and king definitely deserved their title. At the end, we took a lot of photos and that was abt it. Haha.. it wasn't fantastic. But it was good. Definitely regret not eating as much. The guy emcee was really good.. has great potential. Ard 12 plus, me, limjie, Amanda and gary walked all the way back to orchard parade hotel. The taxi queue was way too long. Oh my, walking in heels really hurt! And limjie was worse, her shoes keep falling off cos it was abit too big.. after reaching the hotel, we changed and went to watch midnite movie- open season. Mel came too.. the rest went clubbing.. Oh, we walked all the way from orchard parade, past meritus, to cine. Are our legs tired or wat?! Bought the tix.. and there were also other prom ppls who were there in their formal attire. The movie: short. First part abit lame. The porcupine very funny!!-buddy. And I like ashton kutcher’s character.. thankfully it was only 6.50 for the tix.. After the movie, we walked ALL THE WAY back to our hotel rm. Again. The rest came back soon after us cos the club had to close pretty early.. I was trying to watch soccer, but cldn't take it, so I went to bed, sharing wif jie. She was gd la! Slp so fast. I was trying to slp but only managed to slp for half and hr before eve woke me up for the Chelsea match at 6am. Lucky sw also woke up, then she accompany me to watch while everyone was in bed.. I cldn't really concentrate on the match, cos my eyes were pretty tired.. but I was happy that shevy and wright-phillips scored. By 8, the gang who went to watch midnite movie woke up and we went to mac for breakfast.by 9, when we returned, the other grp has alr woke up, and it was my turn to go back to bed. nice.. though it was 2hrs plus.. it felt good.. haha.. I actually enjoy the part at the orchard parade hotel more than tt at the meritus hotel.. it was like camping, which I haven't done in jc, but in a high class place. With beds and tv and a decent shower place. I like it.. So that was it.. pre-prom, prom and post prom. It was fun.. I'll definitely wanna stay at hotel room wif my frens again..

lalalalala
chelsea vs man u 1-1!!!! muahahahaha... i'm happy. i'm pleased. i'm satisfied... the first half was dominated by manu no doubt.. van der sar hardly had anything to do... but. after saha scored the first goal, u can see chelsea immediately fought back. hard. the second half was so extremely exciting cos chelsea kept pushing forward... surong said chelsea played dirty.. not really la.. except some of the ballack tackles were late and uncalled for.. anyway, i was happy carvalho head in chelsea's goal. this is, if i'm not wrong, the first match that chelsea did not score the first goal. so, i think it's pretty exciting seeing chelsea fight back for such a long period of time from after the manu goal..
ashley cole did a good job. ronaldo, i admit, is pretty good. run so fast!!! lucky a.cole can keep up with him.. phew. essien also ran like he was running for his life when he switched to right back... drogba and shevchenko- well.. kinda low profile throughout... i almost forgot rooney was in the line up after saha scored the goal.. haha.. jose mourinho is such a comical guy to listen to during his interviews.. his accent and the stuff he says... he is indeed the special one.. haha..
i saw this line in the newpaper. v cool. "it's not easy to beat man u. but it's harder to beat chelsea" woohoo!!!
yup.. i can watch all the soccer match i want now!!! yea!!! As are officially over as of 9.11am on 23rd nov.. since then, i've been gg out every single day to shop. but i hav yet to buy anything.. will be buying tmr... hope the dress is still there!!!

yikes!
As has finally begun. completed half of the papers... so far, it was alrite... but i feel v uncertain for gp, chem and mathh p2.
this time during the preparation for As, i have been highly emotionally distressed. i juz feel really and very worried and stressed each time i look at the notes the nite before... and i juz kept crying... my parents are pretty supportive and understanding... they tell me not to worry abt my results and juz take it easy with the papers. even if i dun do well for the paper, they wouldn't blame me... really relieved to hear it from them.
I have nv really felt this high level of distress during my preparation for the past major papers.. so my emotions now are kinda scaring my mum... i think she's worried abt me..
i'm not sure wat i want after As... everyone says after jc is go uni. but was if i dun want? then ppls would say i shld have went poly in the first place. well, i definitely didn't regret my decision abt not gg poly. jc was the choice i made. afterall, i wasn't sure wat course(which wld determine my career path) i wanted to take back then.
now.. i'm thinking, maybe i'm juz no good at studying. or, i'm sick of studying. i dun wanna study anymore... it's causing me so much stress it's disrupting my life... i'm considering picking up some sorta skill... something more hands-on and less cramming for exams.
of course, if i do perform well for As and my results are sufficient for the physiotherapy course, i may still go back to that.. but it's kinda doubtful.. cos i haven't done proper last min recaps and revisions for each of my past papers..
then i tot abt something else. how would i feel if my frens all obtained their degrees and diplomas and are holding a higher paid job then me? i will certainly feel left out.... But i also understand that not everyone are equally academically inclined..
many of my frens are planning to go uni. but many of them are also unsure of the courses they wanna take. it's like a 'must' to get either a degree or diploma in spore. i hate this. i want to do something fun and easy..but there's NO SUCH THING. argh. my parents say many ppls also didn't had degree and diploma, but they're still earning more money that the graduates. but i'm not that type of person. i dun have the brains nor talents to do that.
i wish i knew wat to do.. until then, i'm looking forward to end of As, prom, xmas and aussie trip.
this time during the preparation for As, i have been highly emotionally distressed. i juz feel really and very worried and stressed each time i look at the notes the nite before... and i juz kept crying... my parents are pretty supportive and understanding... they tell me not to worry abt my results and juz take it easy with the papers. even if i dun do well for the paper, they wouldn't blame me... really relieved to hear it from them.
I have nv really felt this high level of distress during my preparation for the past major papers.. so my emotions now are kinda scaring my mum... i think she's worried abt me..
i'm not sure wat i want after As... everyone says after jc is go uni. but was if i dun want? then ppls would say i shld have went poly in the first place. well, i definitely didn't regret my decision abt not gg poly. jc was the choice i made. afterall, i wasn't sure wat course(which wld determine my career path) i wanted to take back then.
now.. i'm thinking, maybe i'm juz no good at studying. or, i'm sick of studying. i dun wanna study anymore... it's causing me so much stress it's disrupting my life... i'm considering picking up some sorta skill... something more hands-on and less cramming for exams.
of course, if i do perform well for As and my results are sufficient for the physiotherapy course, i may still go back to that.. but it's kinda doubtful.. cos i haven't done proper last min recaps and revisions for each of my past papers..

chelsea update
i'm so happy that chelsea beat barcelona. chelsea was simply fantastic. even though i was feeling sleepy while watching the pre-match show, i was immediately wide awake the moment both teams came out.
chelsea gave barce no chance at all, or shld i say no good chance, to score. boulahrouz was down on ronaldinho. makelele did many tackles which totally impressed me. messi juz cln't break thru the solid chelsea defence. drogba:winning goal. hilario kept a clean sheet. [but i still prefer cech] overall, the team outshone barce. i juz hope shevechenko wil start scoring. and in the mid season, i hope drogba doesn't leave the club...
update on my A levels revision: not so good. i'm studing, but i'm still not confident in my grasp of alot of concepts.

soccer update!
england lost to croatia 2-0. their formation of 3-5-2 failed. and poor oh robinson... made a stupid mistake and he was so horribly criticised. well. take it as a lesson learnt.
Q:wat's worse than having a goalkeeper injured and sent off during the match?
A: the sustituted goalkeeper also gets injured and sent off.
last nite's chelsea match against reading went horrible. within the first few min, and dear peter cech was down.. he got a concussion fr one of the reading strikers. the only goal was an own goal tt got deflected off some reading guy. the free kick was taken by lampard. thank goodness the ball went in.. chelsea didn't really had tt many chances tho they were putting some sort of pressure on the opponent's team.. oh, the substitute gk went on but didn't had much to do.. then, 2min into stoppage time, poor oh gk got elbowed in his chest and literally black out. that 's wat it appears to me. then bravo john terry took the initiative to be the gk for the last min or so.
reading: a jinx to chealsea team.
cech's injury seems more minor that the substitute's one. so hopefully he'll be fit for the barcelona match on thu.. *prays hard*
btw, i had a dream. and frank lampard was in it. smthg abt him helping me in some training.. lol.. that was after i went to bed after the first half of the eng-croatia match. he was absolutely charming...
and i can't recall wat happened when i dreamt of roddick the other time.. haha

stress!
was really feeling stressed the past week. had to deal with doing sch work and revision papers and topical revision. even cried on 2 nites:( and it didn't help that i have to work on my fren's presents...but i'm feeling better now.
played tennis w yh yesterday. in the haze.. haha.. i'm not sure if we were playing in the haze, but the atmosphere ard were really blurry. even though i hadn't play tennis for maybe a few mths.. it was still a pretty good session. the start was horrible. but in the 2nd half of the hr, when i changed sides w yh, i hit some pretty 'good' forehands.. haha.. lucky me. i think yh was slightly frustrated.. cos wer were suppose to be hitting rallies.. but some of my forehands were juz 'impressive' for a beginner. [it was like on the single's line, and/or close to it. and it's always on the left one.]I'M SUCH A BRAGGER.. haha.. no lah, i'm not that good. i still suck though. those were juz lucky forehand strokes. really. but it was a good session nonetheless.. had some good backhand strokes too.. "keep my eyes on the ball!!!"
euro qualifiers this weekend and next week. both england's matches will be aired. hmm.. not fair to other countries. anyway, i support england, so it's ok. i wonder if they'll use the 3-5-2 formation.. wld like to see it..

upset with the draw
chelsea drew with aston villa last nite.. sobs.. though they didn't lose, i was still pretty upset :'( chelsea played well, and fought back..esp the later part in the 2nd half. they had so many chances!! even tt ukraine guy made an obvious attempt to score.(i hardly see him touch the ball in previous matches)
hiaz... poor chelsea. if man u wins tonite.. their lead will be gone.. not gone,shared. but still, -.-

hmm.. wat a surprise
good news for me today... i passed my math papers overall. i passed p1 and failed p2.
another shocking gd news was that i pass my options structured paper. hmm.. i'm really lucky. now, do i think i'll fail the essay part? most probably, but since i have passed the above papers, i juz nv noe... But i'm still thankful i passed these papers...
so far, my results are pretty average. every component/subject is 'juz passed', which is slightly over the 50% mark. serious. dunno whether i shld be happy anot. nvm.. i'll still work harder for As.
today, we had the mock bio paper that the crazy bio teachers wanted all of us to take. though i didn't studied for it, until the last 30min before the paper, i think it was relatively doable.. afterall, we all juz finished our prelims (though p2 was 3 wks ago), so we still had some info retained in us.
what was i doing in the morning when i had time to study bio? SUDOKU (not sure how it's spelt). yup, i borrowed angie's phone and decided to learn to play sudoku for my very first time. it was great!!! super nice to play:D most ppls still dunno how it's played. but it's really easy. juz make sure each row and column only have 1 of the 9 numbers available and there shldn't be any repeats within each row/colum.
And from my first game, it led me on to my 2nd, 3rd, 4th and finally the 10th game which i managed to complete before i went for bio tut. i am pretty addicted to the game. everyone ard me are like... 'joyce... u're nuts!'. yup, a few days ago, 21 was my new bridge. today, sudoku is my new 21!!! hahahaha
oh, yesterday, i went to watch 'john tucker must die'. SUPER FUNNY. MUZ WATCH!
it's so worth the money. me, cheryl and esp. eve all laughed all heads off during the movie. super funny pls!!!! it's a much better version of mean girls, becos - jesse metcalfe is so extremely hot!!! everyone : go catch the movie!!! no regrets, i promise!

post prelims
chem p1 was doable... but still not confident... i nv liked to say out loud that 'i can do' becos i dun want to be disappointed when i get back the results..
then we got back our bio papers. not much of a surprise, but i didn't expect my mcq to be that bad. ms wong admits it's difficult while ms ng says its not. IT IS. though i did pass every component of the paper, it was juz by a FEW marks. options is definitely going to pull me down.
yup, so aft that we went to limjie's hse.. slacked for awhile, watch tv and played cards. and yes, i'm addicted to the new game intro by sheena -'21'. When i first heard the name, i tot it was juz a game of black jack.. so most of us were like '*yawns*.. ok.. watever' . then afterwards, we played taidi and bridge... and it led us to play 21.. which turns out to be a FABULOUS GAME. yup, we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.. and we even played in sch today! yea! 21 is the new bridge
the bbq: great! my first time at a bbq with NO GUYS! haha.. usually it'll be the guys starting the fire and getting dirty from using the charcoal.. but mel, surong and sheena really surprised me with their fire starting skills.
ezb is a great bbq catering service. it's so convenient. juz make an order and everything will be sent to our doorsteps. no need to worry abt leaving smthg or anything out.
the food was good overall. had a great time.. except until aft 8.. where it got really dark, and there were minimal light for us to check whether the food was cooked of not.. hehe.. still, i think we all did a good job bbqing.. no one got food poisoning! yet... haha
a few more days to relax and chill.. before i embark on yet another journey of... mugging. 2 more months, ppls. let's do it!

...
i'm so gg to do badly for prelims!!!
gg to fail bio options.
at MOST a juz pass for math.. still quite unlikely though..
and if i dun make too many carelesss mistakes in p2 and p3 of chem, i cld get a C/D provided my p1 dun fail(which i may, cos i juz can't do the calculations!!)
i'm not sure if i'm looking forward to last paper tmr. cos after tt day, it'll be the return of our papers.. eeks!!! i can juz imagine my folks scolding me for watching too much soccer and tv..
but i do look forward to gg to jie's hse to watch the dvds ... supposed to be having bbq.. but i can't cos i got sore throat!!! argh! and i think i still have to pay.. nvm, since i alr have medicine, i might as well eat some of the stuff. make my money worth.
i hope A levels will be easier.. pls be!

review.
roddick lost to federer.. unfortunately, yet predictably. well, at least my prediction that he'd win one set came true.. i'm pleased with that... he had a great past2-3weeks. winning at cincinnati and then reaching the finals of this us open. damn that federer. he's juz so good, i wish he'd retire early.
well, today's chem paper was doable..it's a first time for most of us to take the whole 2hr45min paper. surprisingly, it wasn't as tough as we all thought it wld be since p2 was relatively doable too.. of course, those who've mugged hard shld have no problem getting at least a B. i wld prolly achieve that too IF i wasn't watching so much tv the past week.
but at least the matches i won were all in favour of the teams/players i supported.
Euro qualifiers: england beat macedonia 1-0
germany beat san marino 13-0!!!!
EPL: chelsea beat charlton 2-1
US Open: roddick played very well, reaching the finals. i swear he'd have won if the opponent was everyone else but federer.
Barclays Singapore Open: this, i only watched the last 45min of it, which was a final playoff between this gd looking aussie, adam scott and this south american ernie els. of course, i supported the young and talented adam scott, who won and defended his title.. damn, i was so CLOSE to him (well, literally, he's juz in Sentosa while i was at home in telok blangah. HAHA)
yup, that's why though i did studied, i felt kinda guilty and anxious cos i've watched all these sports matches.
at least i noe i'll pass chem(if the p1 is not too tough).. and hopefully bio too if the option paper is not too difficult. [But the entire chunk of bio option topics are VERY DIFFICULT!!!] :X
after prelims, i think i'll be very occupied with the epl, champions league and euro qualifiers.. hiax.. i'm not too sure if i'm in love with soccer.. but i truly enjoy watching and supporting my fav teams.. not to mention e presence of cute and talented guys. but i want to stress that i'm not watching for the sake of cute guys only... afterall, there are SO MANY soccer hunks, yet i'm only interested in 3 teams... it's the feeling that comes wif watching such a competitive sport.. i'm lovin' it!
euro champions 2008 @ switzerland. anyone interested? :D

last nite was awesome!!!! chelsea won their first match against man city 3-0!!! terry and lampard both scored!!! woohoo!!! and that other striker.. a pity the ukraine guy didn't really get a chance...
rite after that was roddick's final against juan carlos ferrero. both played really well the past week, so i'm pleased to see them meet in the finals. but roddick was SO MUCH BETTER!!! took away the title in 1h10min.. though i muz say ferrero had some amazing shots.. and how did roddick end it? serving 4 aces in that final game. impressive, huh?! next week is the us open!! (and start of prelims) hope roddick will continue doing what he did the past week and win the grand slam!!!
it's amazing what confidence can do to a person.. eg:roddick
ok.. today's monday.. hopefully it'll be the last time i'm using my comp until after bio p2 on next wed... muz really mug very hard.. good luck to one and all!!!

happy singapore day!
finally, a few days of break for me to start studying properly. but i'm not totally concentrating on my work.. cos there's lots of tv to watch- all the old epl matches, the ch U show at 10pm... and mtv..
band concert: it was good!!! except for the seats. NEVER. i repeat: NEVER. get seats at circle 3. they were horrible. not the view. but the height. it's so high up, and the seats are so steep that one will feel slightly dizzy and almost a headache for sitting high up there... Nonetheless, i still enjoyed the concert very much, with the company of my friends too.. we had a 'weird' dress combi: 3 in black and jeans and 2 in white and skirt...
the concert saw the first performance of the st andrew's junior band.. very cute, and a lucky bunch to be able to perform at the esplanade at such tender young age.. their music: well, they juz started last yr.. so it's considered pretty alrite.. then we hear the music by SAS, SAJC and the alumni band.. and there were a few pieces that were played by students of different levels, like sajc yr 1 wif the sas sec 4... and so on.. i was impressed by how much effort and time they had to put in to put on such a great entertaining performance.. but nearing the end, it became kinda draggy.. the pieces got longer and longer.. funny part was the 'riverdance' by the alumni band. we tot, at some pt, it had ended.. but then it didn't and juz continued... yawns... we were all getting tired..
the nicest part? benjamin yeo.. cldn't really see his face from my place.. but i cld easily recognise him. he's the conductor! haha..
anyways, i had a great time.. both band concert and rapture. hope i'll be able to get tics for the concerts following next yr..
EPL is starting. YEA!!! GO CHELSEA!!!

the past 2 weeks
prelims is in 3 weeks time.. everyone ard are like so mugging very hard...those gg to manan seems to be in good hands.. me? i feel like i've wasted the past 2 weeks. i cldn't concentrate on revision when i'm at home. but i cldn't stand another minute being in sch when there's no lessons. i dun wan to pon sch cos i noe there'll be smthg useful for the 'good' students who bother to turn up. i'm like so wasting my time... i need to get back on the right track. i miss the holidays before BT2... haix.. i can't organise my time well... i'm supposed to be a super good planner.. sux really bad... i have a feeling i'm being complacent cos my grades were decent for BT2. but i noe that BT2 doesn't include j1 work(for chem and math) which i totally sux at.. so, i'll be screwed for prelims if i dun buck up. then there's option topics which are like SO MUCH to study for but no little weightage.. argh
once again, i have yet to pass my 2.4... dun think i'll achieve my last yr's goal of getting silver.. will be happy enuf if i pass it..
went for rapture last nite.. have to admit that last yr's one is better than this yr's one.. i was expecting some 'grand' opening..but.. there wasn't any... jo was saying it's probably becos the venue was esplanade, that's why most of the dances were like contemporary... modern.. and not so much hip hop...the teachers' dance, though, were definitely much better than last yr... haha.. wif those stiff movements.. v funny, but i still 'pei fu' them for having time to practice despite all the work they need to do.. Still, i was pretty impressed with all the dances, dancers, and choreographers... xwei was like in most of the dance.. pro!
i'm getting my birkenstock tmr.yea!!!!
once again, i have yet to pass my 2.4... dun think i'll achieve my last yr's goal of getting silver.. will be happy enuf if i pass it..
went for rapture last nite.. have to admit that last yr's one is better than this yr's one.. i was expecting some 'grand' opening..but.. there wasn't any... jo was saying it's probably becos the venue was esplanade, that's why most of the dances were like contemporary... modern.. and not so much hip hop...the teachers' dance, though, were definitely much better than last yr... haha.. wif those stiff movements.. v funny, but i still 'pei fu' them for having time to practice despite all the work they need to do.. Still, i was pretty impressed with all the dances, dancers, and choreographers... xwei was like in most of the dance.. pro!
