school started about one week ago. i was very apprehensive about school and waking up early and the sec 4 year end exams before the holiday was over, but i guess it all turned out okay (:
granted, going to school means waking up early and dragging yourself to the bus stop to board the bus to school, making sure you understand every word that is said during class AND READING UP ON TOPICS YOURSELF. that is tiring. but it somehow also gives me a sense of purpose. it gives me the feeling that i'm doing the right thing. i feel that it is what i ought to do.
so, well, our class had an almost complete change of teachers. the only 2 teachers who continued taking our class were foo ling ling and teo poh poh. we were joking that both of these teachers had a repeat word in their name, and that is why they had to "repeat" teaching our class again >.<
math has been split into math 1 and math 2. i don't really see the actual difference between this and doubling your math gpa. i mean, if they are going to give the same questions, with the easier ones in math 1 and the more difficult ones in math 2, you are still going to get the same score right? just that you get an average score for the normal math paper while you get a high score for math and a low score for math 2. in which case high + low = medium, which still makes you average.
ohh yes and they split each chinese class into 3 classes, with A being the worse and C being the best. i don't know why they did it all of a sudden, without forewarning us or anything -.- yeahh. so i ended up in B with my CLE teacher doubling up as my HCL teacher. bleah.
what else ... they're giving us a maths test covering almost all of the sec 3 chapters (excluding statistics) just 2 weeks into school! which is next week! if not for my dialogue over msn with a classmate i wouldn't even have known! (my classmate knew about the impending surprise test from her senior). and what's interesting (and harrowing at thesame time) about it is that it will constitute 8% of my final grade for maths!
*cusses, using all the expletives she can think of*
oh well, discussing the impending test just makes me more nervous about it. i shall now stop the time wasting activity of blogging and continue revising trigonometry.Labels: rambling rants

i haven't blogged for a long, long time.
i suppose i've had a lot of time this holiday to think through everything this holiday. 10 hours of sleep definitely helps you think a lot more clearly than 6.
i've gotten over many, many issues that were bogging me down this year. some of them have been trivial, while others have influenced my character and perspectives perhaps forever.
i guess there are some things that you just have to get over, in order to move on to a better and brighter future.
but somehow i'm not sure how to go about passing next year. it's my last year in rgs, my last year as a secondary school student. it seems just yesterday that i received the news that i'd been posted to the school, that i went for the orientation camp. everything just seems to have passed so quickly. it's almost like i'd held my breath, submerged myself in a swimming pool, shut my eyes tight due to the pressure, and risen back up to the water's surface after 30 seconds. like everything's just passed in a blur and i'm back at the same spot where i started off. or rather, i don't sense that i've made any progress whatsoever.
it's a complicated, poignant feeling. a sensation that i sometimes wish i never had to experience.
but then again, i tell myself, i'll do my best. i know i have made mistakes, some of them serious, which i do regret, but i really hope to be given another chance to prove myself. and i'll work hard. harder than i've ever worked in my entire life.
i am at peace, because i truly understand now (:Labels: peace

Simona
You're getting older
Your journey's been
Etched on your skin
Simona
Wish I had known that
What seemed so strong
Has been and gone
[Chorus:]I would call you up every Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always beIn a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"
Simona
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone
Simona
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song
[Chorus x3]And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973Labels: 1973

"It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. Millions are condemned to a stiller doom than mine, and millions are in silent revolt against their lot. Nobody knows how many rebellions besides political rebellions ferment in the masses of life which people earth. Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts, as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags. It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex."

it's been a long time since i last posted.
i guess i've gotten over it, all those negative emotions that were bogging me down since the start of this fateful year.
i have resolved to forget what has passed, focus on the future, and make sure that i will have a good start to next year.
