yespianoexamisoverhooray! heehee.
it was okay. i’m going to start grade 8 next week. so crazy.
the examiner was quite nice. i was crapping so much for aural. i think he’s going to write down ‘test A: incorrect. test B: incorrect.’ anyway, i’m glad it’s over.
my dad David Gan-ed my sister and me. so now i got quite short hair and she has shorter hair but it is still thick. my ponytail is ’so small and cute’, says sister.
O levels are coming? i don’t know what to say anymore. i mean, it is a big step, right? but it’s one that will bring you to the next level. whatever you do, whatever you get, just know that it will be your effort, as well as of those who have helped you along the way. it will be the effort that you have put in for so long, especially for this whole long year. while you have had to give up a lot more things, you know that you can get them back once the exams are over. so make your effort worthwhile, do your best and don’t give up things for nothing. the results will be the best if you put your absolute best in it. have confidence to do the best you can. even if things don’t go the way you planned them, you know that you have alternatives. don’t give up half the way! you can do it! i know at times, you feel that it’s useless trying to study even more, trying to compete with so many other sec 4s in Singapore, but every little bit that you do will count in the end. i know sometimes you feel like crap and you lose your motivation, but this is the last step. so take this last step will your best effort! have faith.
okay i think i have rambled enough.
oh right. exams are 2 weeks from now, camp is 3 weeks from now. i have 7 more weeks of school to go.
next year, i’ll be taking IB: english, math higher level, chinese, history, chemistry and music. geography would have been ideal but it clashed with one class of chemistry and the second class of chemistry clashed with music so i had to give up one of them and pick up either biology, history or economics. but i’m self-studying biology and economics…NO WAY. i’m so anti-finance. haha. yeah, so i picked history.
we will be moving house (have i said this?) on november 21. it will be a house–on ground! no more lifts. (: pretty excited.
i’m excited over so many things (like the new house and going back at the end of the year) but school is not very exciting. and we (the group of friends) might go busking during Christmas? not confirmed yet, but i’m excited.
by the way, we’re doing forensics in the med elective now. it’s quite cool. we were looking at animal and human hairs and synthetic and natural cloth fibres last week. human hairs look quite scaly.
that’s all for now. until then, lots of love!
