Arrr….it’s finally e end of e As….that arrrr was supposed to be a declaration of liberalization….or being set free from the clutches of the evil that was simply so overwhelming….but rite since the morning….somehow that shout to release the accumulated pressures n helplessness simply did not come out…..was it like as sq said cos it happened over such a long time dat e joy of freedom was slowly eroded as we got nearer to e day of freedom slowly n bit by bit….somehow I dunno…deep down it felt like the whole ordeal was so deeply entrenched within myself dat it won’t go away….yday I tried to recall when this strong experience started to accumulate within myself…..but somehow i just could not recall when it acty all started…..it seemed such a long long time ago….n that since that seemingly distant past….i had no idea wat I was leading my life for……do u call it studying? But ain’t studying supposed to mean gaining something from it…learning from it…..thinking bout it now….i dun find I’ve learnt anything…u learn all e facts…but do u seriously understand wat is going on behind the facts? Mugging all the tys…hoping for a somewhat similar qn to come out…task of activity…. Remembering how to solve the same qn…not to know how to solve the qn…probably the reason y this yr so many of e papers came up with inventive qns…but no matter wat any1 says....evry1 still wants that big 1st letter of e alphabet…a big fat A….wat is A supposed to represent….Achievement? seems so…but to spend a whole yr on nth but studying 4 syllabuses over n over again….n of which we mite jolly be told in e future…nonono…they r not true…achievement? Seems more like being made an ass…we term ourselves the top 5 jcs in Singapore…we exchange this placing with the 6mths that we put into mugging….the other schools mite not do so well in terms of final grades…..but mayb during those 6mths they’ve led much more meaningful lives…n with plenty of As we get into uni…with a BBC or even lower others oso climb onto the next stage….so who’s the loser in the end? But guess it’s just like saying a manager hu works for 12hrs for a higher pay n a roadside stall owner leading a much flexible life for a lowe pay….but y e heck did I choose to go for the 1st option? Man’s ego…competition to show superiority….wonder if there will eva come a day when I can lose this inborn nature of humans….


Thinking bout e whole A level experience now thou…learnt a valuable lesson…at least for e time being…simplicity is really e way to lead ur life….pple always say…get into uni can le….etc etc…I’m sure u need 3As or 4As to get into uni…on the bus journey home….finally enlightened abit on how I should face the results of the exam….S papers dun matter anymore….at least I’ve managed to put my mind to understanding in depth into the stuff that we learn…highly probable that I’m writing all this rubbish cos I din do as well as I could…n sulking away….but hopefully from today onwards…I can constantly remind myself…it doesn’t matter wat eva grade it is when march comes ard…just go on to the next level…at sec 4 n jc2 I’ve already lead a total of 12 mths without knowing wat I was doing at all….it will be dumb for me to mourn over not getting plenty of As….if I ever moan on my exams eva again ….pls shut me up…

hey pple.. tml marks de end of A levels for 5 of us..2nd last paper for kiu.. jia you wor! it'll be over soon! tink most pple looking forward to it le.. i was too.. on monday after econs paper.. though never finish.. but it din feel as terrible.. really sad today.. acty dun tink de phys paper 3 was de main culprit.. but i guess it is de main cause of sadness.. supposed to be studying for my design paper now.. used to tink dat 16/310 is nothing.. but after losing 12 marks today.. 16 marks seems to matter alot... wanted to study... but in de end.. came online before i finish reading 5 pages... haiz..

was tinking y i acty feel so sad.. den found a few possible reasons.. 1stly.. cos it is A levels.. no 2nd chance le.. 2ndly.. its a phys paper.. dun ever recall not being able to finish a phys paper.. 3rdly.. i could hav done better.. if only i put in abit more effort.. 4thly.. can't help but feel dat i've let down some wonderful phys tutors dat hav taught me... okie.. those are reasons related to phys...

reasons not related to phys.. maybe i'm really stressed like some of my frens said.. den today felt like de day of liberation.. den everything juz overflowed.. emotions not within control le.. another reason could be cos of some pple.. i tot it thru le.. but never found de courage to do wat i wanna do.. been telling myself since 3 weeks ago.. dat i'll ren3.. wait till de A levels are over.. den i'll settle de other matters.. tml is de last paper le.. means i've no worries bout studies le.. means dun hav to worry it'll affect pple's studies le.. hopefully i'll find de courage within me to tell de person straight in de face... i've had enough!

haha.. guess it wun make much sense to ltg.. but i tink stg will knoe wat i'm talking bout.. nvm.. if i succeed.. u pple will de 1st to knoe.. cos its u pple who hav been there thru de toughest period i've ever came across in my 18 yrs of life..

lastly... good luck to yc and kenny for ur bio mcq... hehe.. dun tink u will get to see b4 de paper.. den to de rest of us.. jia you ba.. design paper left le.. get it over.. and we're done with A levels! =)

wah. i finally have relevant points to talk abt this topic. after looking out my window. haha, bedok central never lacks news. tho my window is so small..saw 2 couples in my view once i looked out. one walking, one on bicycle. haha, so romantic rite? or so we thought. the typical scene man..jingjing and xiaoxin cycling thru the nite..with only each other as company and moonlight as their guide. then! .............. a bicycle slope appears. bah! u think. shhh! listen! the steepness, unfortunately, is designed such that a small amt of struggle by an average cyclist will be sufficient to overcome it. stil rmb there's a mesmerized girlfriend on the bike too? haha, boyfriend struggles! alot! rides with all his might to pedal as hard as he could..to not much use. alas, in the end, he dismounted from his bike (oops, is this a repetitive expression) and pushed it with his dreamy-faced girl along. -zong yi da ge da tune plays- sigh, the anti-climax of a supposedly most memorable date..the fantasy of the ride crushed by the practicality of physics.

anw, relating back to the posts, guess it's not kong xu ba..more like the sense of self-consciousness we feel when we realise we're different from the ppl we see. like, i feel that i'm lacking of sthg whenever...for eg...i see a digicam(see my blog. heehee). u know. or when u dun fit the dress code. in other words, when u stand out from the rest! haha, an exaggeration, i know. population who are attached shd be 50% ba..from what i see now. we're just on the other side of the line. anyway, knowing that there's definitely a person who will share ur unhappiness is quite miles apart from whether u would really share it. so, in the end..just an illusion? -shrugs- moreover, the attached status comes with the constant reminder of discretion when interacting with the opposite sex. quite a nag sometimes. ah well. still..better to have been loved and hurt than not have it at all. a kind of life experience mah. ppl are stubborn creatures..dun believe the things ppl say until they experience it themselves..find out for themselves how true they really are. well..blame it all on the destabilizing nature of relationships..

sigh..stayover how..

Pebbles | 11:40 PM

eh.. i can blog again! dunno wat's wrong.. juz sth.. my IE really AP.. haha.. anyway.. i juz wondering leh.. is it me or is de total number of posts for our blog stagnant at 156? tink i'll find out de ans soon after i finish typing tis post..hmmm.. promised kiu say i wud type sth in response to his post.. but din find de inspiration.. let's hope i'll find some inspiration as i type tis.. oh wow.. i juz talked a whole paragraph of crap..

hmm.. i knoe de feeling! de kong1 xu1 feeling... when u see ur frens happily together as a couple.. but den tink on de bright side.. being single is not dat terrible.. at least we hav de freedom.. to do watever we want.. no need to be responsible to anyone.. no burden of relationship.. and i believes frenships last longer de relationship... so acty if given a choice.. i wun want to develop a relationship with my really close frens.. cos i fear de day when we will breakup.. den frenship ruined also.. not worth it.. but of cos there's de benefits of being in a relationship also lor.. it's always comforting to know dat there is tis person whom u can depend on when u meet with unhappy stuffs..

there's always 2 sides to everything.. aiya.. realised everything really boil down to our choice.. which is acty quite pathetic leh.. cos one wrong choice made.. and it will trigger off a chain effect.. cos de following actions wud all be dependent on de initial choice made.. does tis remind u pple of anything?! haha.. kkz.. dun worry.. i wun elaborate on it.. it's over.. not up to be to decide my own fate.. leave it to de markers ba.. hope for de best.. prepared for de worst..

next paper is chemistry.. and i haven finish studying de notes yet.. wat am i doing here?! argh.. tink i'll go hav my lunch.. den back to food chem notes.. aim is to finish them by today.. jia you pple! =D

p/s: sigh.. it's raining again! nice weather to slack.. and it never fails to remind me of chalets, pple and events.. i want my hols!

heyz pple.. tis entry is not by me.. it's by courtesy of mr kiu.. i'm juz helping him to post it.. cos he feels dat it is lame.. but i feel dat it is ok.. and typical stuff dat we always tok bout.. yupz.. and according to him.. it is an incomplete post.. so let's hope he will complete it.. yeah? here goes..

hehe....xing1 xue4 lai2 chao2...haha.....it seems like when eva i stay up till e wee hrs....some chattting online and e tranquil environment neva ceases to stir up some weird tots in me....from outta nowhere some more....haha....imagine pple studying now but i dunno doing wat rubbish now....complacency!!! hmmmm....acty got wat to complacent about...haha....oh well....shall make this a shorter entry den e last 1...

hehehehe....mayb these tots had slowly begun to build since i saw my bill this mth and saw the low sms rates this mth....haha....barely ten a day on average...hmmm...angel finds this alot....haha....oh well...e pt is got a thousand but spend so little only...haha....and well....chatting with happy pple hu r living in bliss...haha....seems pretty much ironic tat u're happy for them but at e same time u discover a kong1 xu1 feeling that haf not surfaced since ages ago b4....hmmm...always chose to believe that be enriching urself in other manners...be it in making more friends or by learning new things...hehe...mayb by studying...that u will be able to fill up the gaps or feelings of emptiness...seriously speaking...is that a matured way of thinking....or a childish way of thinking? ain't too sure of that ans myself....an even bigger pt is that we r only students...not exposed to the societal demands of work n perhaps social liabilties....and as perceived by adults as being too greenhorn to uds wat eva rubbish we r thinking is really rubbish....
