i failed my promos!!! :(

i got my promo results back last week.. i failed and have to retake J1 next year...
haha bluff you! i passed! lol.
last week was fun cos i tricked lotsa people that i failed and they got worried haha. mum got really scared and even called me. cos i sent her a msg that was something like "i got back my results. very bad. next year must retain." haha! then on sunday i tricked liesl and my dad and yiying helped so liesl got really angry and hit me lots of times lol.
anws here's my results:
GP 57% C
Geog 30% U
physics 49% E
econs 50% D
maths 55% C
yeah so i passed everything except geog. i did better than midyear and so my maths and econs got pulled down by one grade so my overall results are CUEED. good enough to promote. yep so looks like i'll be taking alevels next year.

the last 6 days or so have been about preparing for project work oral presentation. my group is doing on the first day which is this friday 31 oct.
yesterday we met at shu feng's house in the morning to practice. afterwards me and shu feng went to sentosa to meet the rest of the class cos we had some picnic party thing there. played beach captains ball and got real sandy. but it was a fun day:)

last saturday was e-rae's bday:) we went to bugis in the afternoon to celebrate. in the end me and e-sean bought some new clothes and e-rae didnt buy anything haha!

on sunday we also went to kuo chuan for the friendly games with living praise presbyterian church. i didnt play badminton but went to play captains ball. but after the first few minutes i realised that i had no motivation to play properly cos it was just friendly games. so i started slacking and walked most of the time haha. if get too competitive later also fighting all ah haha.

today went to school for chinese remedial lecture and PW dry run again. i reached late for chinese and didnt pay much attention during the lecture. but PW was ok i think.

yup, kinda boring..

anws here's a nice song!

"Now this is something you don't see everyday"

I once told you that it wasn't the end,
But I thought that I was lying.
Looks though things have come round the bend,
But I'm still stuck here waiting.

I can't stand the way we have to take this everyday
You know it's just not right, but it's your fears you won't fight

It's not the end (I wonder if you'll)
Take my hand (I wanna be there for you)
It's something we can't mend (I'm sorry I gave up)
I'm trying hard to stand

I once told you that I had moved on
But I knew that I was lying
I could hear your tears through the phone
But we're still not trying

Oh, we said goodbye, I think some part of me died
Do I just wait for my turn, and watch the city burn

It's not the end (I wonder if you'll)
Take my hand (I wanna be there for you)
It's something we can't mend (I'm sorry I gave up)
I'm trying hard to stand


Is it too late
Can't accept my fate
The memories are all I can take with me
I guess I'll let you be

It's not the end (I wonder if you'll)
Take my hand (I wanna be there for you)
It's something we can't mend (I'm sorry I gave up)
I'm trying hard to stand


It's not the end...

yeah nice song:)

hmm.. not much else to write. tmr is a holiday so i'm staying at home. then thursday is Alevel chinese which i am totally not prepared for. and friday is project work oral presentation which i am quite prepared for. so it'll all be over by this friday 31 oct!!
man, i can't wait for nov and dec! got lotsa fun stuff to do:)

The Day The World Changed is coming once again.
countdown: 5 days

pokemon master!!!

sigh.. i miss you so much.. i can't believe you're gone now, though i've pretty much got over you. i remember all the times we shared together. sometimes we went fast, sometimes we went slow. now that you're gone i realise how much i need you. but someone stole you from me. i shouldn't have left you there. maybe it's better that you're gone now so i wouldn't get knocked down and get hurt. anyway the loud sound you made everytime i put on the brakes was starting to get annoying. so goodbye, my bicycle...
hahaha. i told CRYSIz i would do this once i got the inspiration. anws i feel like buying a new cheap bike which doesn't look that nice so people won't steal it. and this time i'll lock it somewhere safer-.- cos only after my bike was gone i realised how different walking to the bus stop is from cycling. haha.
well, now that promos are over i'm playing more. i've gone bowling and pool with renyi, cheang and YC. so far ryan hasn't been able to make it for those outings. the latest one was really fun haha.
i've gone for tea at coffee bean with mum and she bought me a new coin pouch:) cos my wallet can't really hold coins. hannah said it looks girly, but we actually bought it from the men's section haha.
we've had some football trainings with the singapore combined schools team as well. which is like the best players from JC. something like national team haha. they're really good. i'm like at a lower standard than them, but maybe that's cos i haven't played for really long. mr ho says i can compete at their standard, but it's not really on my mind lah.
the other day at the training my old boots spoilt:( the back sole came out. so i went to buy a new one which looks really cool. it's a Total90 shoot, which i think is the boots that torres wears, but i bought the black and grey one cos it looks like the black spider-man suit haha:) cost $80 which is ok for nike i guess.. i shall call it my spider-boots! to replace my spoilt dragon-boots. haha. cos my old white one had material that looked like dragon skin and i scored lotsa goals with it.
the other day i went to look through my goal-scoring records and counted that i've scored 27 goals in 13 games for PLH (from sec 1 synod games til now). that means i average 2 goals a game for PLH. drat at first i was quite disappointed cos i thought it would be higher, but i realised that the games i've played for PLH were all competitive games, so it's a good ratio i guess.
we also went for angie's surprise party that saturday. hoho it was fun!:) it was at becky and esther's house. they have this Wii thing and we played tennis on it haha. david was quite good cos he found the formula for the power serve, so i got trashed by him quite alot lol. but nvm, it's only like some playstation thing and not real tennis:p then we played block catching too and other fun stuffs which i can't rmb at the moment.
i passed the chinese EOY exam too! lol. 45%, which is an E. but it'll count for nothing if i fail A-level chinese anws. so i didn't really care about it. but it's the highest i've got for the whole year. i was sleeping when we got back the paper, so i signed quite horribly next to my mark and our chinese teacher shouted "who signed for i-zack???" LOL. then my friend told her i signed it myself while i was half asleep. that day when we got it back again i realised that the signature was really quite stupid looking haha!!
that day we had chinese anchor test too. it's a test set by MOE for certain classes to gauge our school's chinese standard then they can determine how difficult to set the A-level paper. so quite a few of us decided that we will purposely do badly for it so that the standard will be low haha! the paper was 1hr30min long. i finished it in 15min. LOL. i wonder what marks i got for that. should be able to set a new record for my lowest chinese mark (which is 18%).
liverpool beat wigan 3-2 on saturday too!! yeah another comeback victory! that's the 5th time this season i think. man, we're showing really good character to turn victory into defeat in the last 10min of games. but we can't keep going like this for long cos we won't be able to come back from behind everytime. but at least we're still keeping pace with chelsea at the top:)
i've also watched the first 4 pokemon movies on youtube last saturday and sunday:) haha. (mewtwo strikes back, the power of one, spell of the unknown, mewtwo returns) wow, brings back lotsa good memories. pokemon is like the best thing that japan ever invented. besides sushi. for those of you who don't know, my favourite pokemon is charizard!! hahaha.. second favourite is pikachu. my next favourites are squirtle and bulbasaur:) but now they come up with so many new pokemon that i can't keep track already. i only know up to the first 250 pokemon haha. i realised what a big thing pokemon is to me. the storyline is really fantastic and stuff. ash ketchum is an absolute inspiration to all aspiring pokemon masters. i'm already a pokemon master lah, but i'm past those days i guess.. unless i buy a new gameboy catridge and start playing again!! haha.. oh yes and some of the theme songs are really nice.:)
2 weeks ago i also killed a cockroach by trapping it in a food container and spraying the insecticide inside haha!!! wow then can see it squirming about inside. super cool man. but you will waste a food container/ tupperware everytime you do this method. i have decided to call it the "death chamber" method hahaha!
yesterday i was late for school cos i slept on the bus and missed the stop. so i had to walk back-.-
we had a mock chinese exam too but i didn't take it seriously. so i finished the compo in 50min and slept for 4omin, and finished the compre in 30min and slept for 1hour.
after school we went shu feng's house to do project work too. i think our group is almost ready. yesterday we managed to do all the props and stuff for our oral presentation group skit.
man, this hols looks like it's gonna be a busy one.. my schedule looks quite packed. cos of lots of fun stuff and stuff like class overseas CIP to batam and chinese A-levels and PW. but oh well, busy but fun also good lah.
today i also went for a haircut. i told the lady to keep the length but make my hair thinner. i think it looks kinda funny.. not what i expected. my fringe now also looks kinda non-existent. oh well nevermind, after a month or so it should grow back again..
anws the o-levels have started this week too so all the best to those who are taking it!!
charizard, i choose you!!!
btw i just found out this cool thing!!
(\__/)

pikachu!!! lol..

post-war analysis

yeah my promos are finally over!! hahaha...
but still got PW oral presentation and chinese A-levels coming up anyway lah.
well here's my evaluation of promos:
bear in mind mid-year exams already contains 20% of the marks.
GP (midyr D) - wrote the compo pretty ok i think. chose the topic on sports which i was familiar with so i think should be ok. not much to say about the compre. aim: to get same as mid year. D
geog (midyr U) - didn't study much cos was focusing on H2 subjects. expected: U
chinese (midyr U) - expected: U
physics (midyr E) - not very confident for this one. studied quite a bit but the questions were kinda confusing. aim: to get at least 30-something% and get pulled up by the midyr E to get S.
econs (midyr S) - i'm quite confident for econs. wrote the essays which i knew about and the paper format also quite easy. aim: overall E
maths (midyr S) - thought it would be easy but turns out the questions were tougher than expected. about 30marks gone already by leaving the questions blank. hopefully those i did will be enough to score me 40%. aim: same as midyr. S
yup so with a DESS i will be promoted to J2 next year. pls pray for me!:)
yesterday was a fun day with CRYSIz. renyi came my house at 10am and we played some songs on the guitar. now one of my songs is stuck in his head haha! it's called "don't know". it's like a more different song from my other ones. like diverting away from rock all the time and this one is a total acoustic thing. it's not a love song but it's sounds a bit romantic haha. renyi kept singing it afterwards. it's totally stuck in his head. that's gotta be a good thing cos only nice songs get stuck in your head haha. it was some interesting inspiration for that song actually.
anws we went to cheang's house at 12plus and jammed there with cheang and YC. i guess we're kinda better now than we were 2 years ago but to me it's not moving as fast as i would have liked. i guess it's cos we're not full-time and have to focus on studies. and we don't have the resources, time, or money to record a full album. and also we are in need of a really good singer. oh well. that's for another time.
we met ryan at vivo at 5plus. caught the 6pm eagle eye show. WARNING! do not read the next paragraph unless you don't mind some spoilers for the show!!
haha. well i think it's quite ok lah. but not say very fantastic or what. the fact that the computer was super smart and got out of control and caused everything is a spoiler. shia leboeuf was the main actor. yeah he's a good actor man, since his nickelodeon days haha. as a kid watching him doing stupid stuff on shows like er.. ok i forgot his show titles, but they were funny. i think at the first part when his brother died and he was kneeling at the coffin and crying was super touching. really felt the sadness there. his crying was that good hahaha.. and he's got a cool moustache-beard-sideburn thing in the show!:)
after the show we hanged out for awhile then took the train home. yup, days with CRYSIz are always fun days:)
today decided to get back to training. after 5 weeks of no real exercise i was hoping for too much lah. i initially wanted to run 16km LOL.. in the end after 4km i was dying! so i stopped after 4km and went to try some pull-ups. could do 12. after 6 weeks of no weights i think it's not too bad lah.. then i tried a 100m sprint and clocked 14secs. that stinks but considering i was quite tired i'll let it pass.
yes now the holidays are here i feel like it's time to not study! dunno why just now i suddenly thought to myself "eh must study!" then i remembered the promos are over lol. was quite shocked with myself.
yup that's all folks.

#100

ok this is my blog's 100th post! it's taken like 1year and 4months think. so one month there's about an average of 6 posts? haha.
yes we won the merseyside 2-0 with two goals from torres!!:) hopefully that will signal him returning to the form he had last season. just feels great to beat everton. so that's wins over everton and man utd already this season:)
this morning we beat PSV 3-1 in the champions league too. kuyt scored the 100th champions league goal since rafa took over. that's like 4-5 seasons since rafa's been here so it's about 20-25 goals every season!o.O wow. keane finally got his first liverpool goal and gerrard got his 100th liverpool goal:) stunning freekick, really sweet strike. yeah so cool that all these 100 goals things coincide with my blog's 100th post. haha.
this week have had some promo papers. GP on monday was ok i think. my compo was on whether money can bring sporting success or not. i said that there were more important things such as discipline, teamwork, etc..
on tuesday was geog and chinese. i think those two were crap, comfirm fail haha. then was feeling kinda sick on tuesday after the papers so came home and slept all the way from 5.30pm to the next day 8.30am. lol. good thing when i woke up i felt better so i studied physics yesterday. almost a full day of nothing but physics.
today's paper was quite tough in some parts but some parts also quite easy. but after the paper i wasn't feeling very confident. but now after thinking through i think that even if i fail it will be by just a bit maybe? so with the 20% from promos which i passed then hopefully can pull up to a sub-pass. then i have to score better in either econs or maths to pull up my mid-year sub-pass to a clear pass.
so the next few days have to keep going!! ok back to my studying now! i don't expect to post again til my promos are over.
