Which is the late form.&lt;br /&gt;And when you get the pink form,&lt;br /&gt;the school would call up your&lt;br /&gt;parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark and I jay walked instead of&lt;br /&gt;waiting for the traffic light to&lt;br /&gt;turn into the green walking man.&lt;br /&gt;Reached school at 7:25am with Mark.&lt;br /&gt;And had to wait until the National&lt;br /&gt;Anthem and Pledge to pass.&lt;br /&gt;Mark was afraid of Miss Chai this morning.&lt;br /&gt;If he is found out that he is late for&lt;br /&gt;school again, Miss Chai would tell his&lt;br /&gt;parents. Well, his parents told Miss&lt;br /&gt;Chai to give extra attention to Mark.&lt;br /&gt;As his Mum was called up as he had&lt;br /&gt;received the pink form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During Maths lesson, I did not bring&lt;br /&gt;textbook because the day before&lt;br /&gt;was already the Maths test. But&lt;br /&gt;Mr Tan insist that we have to continue&lt;br /&gt;with new topics. He was angry so&lt;br /&gt;he punished those who did not&lt;br /&gt;brought maths textbook. He even&lt;br /&gt;confiscated the handphones of those&lt;br /&gt;who did not bring textbook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was damn pissed off by him once&lt;br /&gt;again. He made us copy topic 7.3&lt;br /&gt;excluding colourful pictures and&lt;br /&gt;some exercises. I used both sides&lt;br /&gt;of the A4 size paper. Some just&lt;br /&gt;follow exactly 4 pages just like&lt;br /&gt;the textbook. Then during recess at&lt;br /&gt;10:30am I went to look for him and&lt;br /&gt;retrieve my handphone. I almost&lt;br /&gt;took the wrong phone because it looked&lt;br /&gt;identical to my W910i. Except that the&lt;br /&gt;other w910i does not have screen protector.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Mr Tan Eng Wee took my phone. I was&lt;br /&gt;directly cursing him and saying that since&lt;br /&gt;he like to collect handphone so much.&lt;br /&gt;Why not open an handphone shop?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After maths was Physics lesson.&lt;br /&gt;Also know as the most insignificant&lt;br /&gt;lesson because the whole class&lt;br /&gt;on had to copy answers from the&lt;br /&gt;whiteboard only. interesting right?&lt;br /&gt;Well, luckily that day was only&lt;br /&gt;1 period of Physics. If not I would&lt;br /&gt;had been bored to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Follow on was 2 periods of&lt;br /&gt;Social Studies lesson&lt;br /&gt;It is known as the most boring&lt;br /&gt;subject in my life. It is not&lt;br /&gt;my SS teacher, Mdm Sutinah's problem.&lt;br /&gt;The problem is from the subject itself.&lt;br /&gt;I was sleeping during the 2nd period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Recess was Chinese lesson.&lt;br /&gt;During that 1 period which is 30&lt;br /&gt;minutes. Everyone was very obedient.&lt;br /&gt;Every student was quiet and patience.&lt;br /&gt;Everyone did their workbook comprehansion&lt;br /&gt;corrections and Mrs Pek was suprised!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly was 2 periods of English lesson&lt;br /&gt;with the hell teacher Mrs Jane Chng.&lt;br /&gt;Another simple and insutling joke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lim Hui Min, LHM = FHM?&lt;br /&gt;Ultra lame and insulting right!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday night went to Bugis&lt;br /&gt;with my cousins and Godmother.&lt;br /&gt;Walked to Bugis Street, OG&lt;br /&gt;and Sim Lim Square.

It was supposed to be in Degree&lt;br /&gt;mode most of the time and Radian mode for a&lt;br /&gt;few questions. I did not know about it until&lt;br /&gt;James told me as he saw the Radian sign in&lt;br /&gt;my calculator. I was in serious depression at&lt;br /&gt;that moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It just seemed to me that my classmates are&lt;br /&gt;improving dramastically. Very dramatic... ...&lt;br /&gt;Classmates like James, Manfred, Roxanne... ...&lt;br /&gt;It just scares me to see them getting better&lt;br /&gt;and better. But it is good for them as well&lt;br /&gt;as the reputation of the class.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;I am getting lousier and lousier.&lt;br /&gt;Today Maths and Chinese tests was&lt;br /&gt;both easy and difficult to answer the&lt;br /&gt;questions. I struggled, a lot!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;Tomorrow would be Biology test.&lt;br /&gt;What would happen tonight and later.&lt;br /&gt;I don't know. Everything just seemed so&lt;br /&gt;uncertain and scary. I need to continue to&lt;br /&gt;study more, seriously.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;Anyway, I learnt something significant&lt;br /&gt;from Mrs Jane Chng from English lesson&lt;br /&gt;today. Sentence can be made up of&lt;br /&gt;Simple, Compound and Complex types.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;Simple is just an independent sentence.&lt;br /&gt;While Compound is two independent&lt;br /&gt;sentence joined together and can be&lt;br /&gt;break up back in to their independent&lt;br /&gt;sentence. Finally, complex sentence&lt;br /&gt;includes an dependent sentence and&lt;br /&gt;an independent sentence. Dependent&lt;br /&gt;sentence uses in spite of, despite and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;although.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;In summary, this week I had English,&lt;br /&gt;Literature, Chinese, Maths and tomorrow's&lt;br /&gt;Biology. I hope that I can manage tomorrow's&lt;br /&gt;Biology test :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Test, test, test fever but you don't have to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;show it.

You need to start early revision.&lt;br /&gt;PSP, Computer and Television should not be fully or partly your life.&lt;br /&gt;Just at most spend a period or 2 (I mean half an hour or an hour) at most.&lt;br /&gt;If you overindulged, you will suffer in Examinations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Student's Goal now is to study for Exams.&lt;br /&gt;A period which textbooks, workbooks, pens, papers and even assessment books&lt;br /&gt;should appear much more frequently and longer hours as examination draw near.&lt;br /&gt;My friend told me this, "Common Test use Common Sense can do well study hard also no use"&lt;br /&gt;Well, I can only say to my friend, "If you are lucky, you will do well for CT, but you will lose out in Final Year."&lt;br /&gt;However, I did not told my friend directly to his face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, I did an experiment. I studied 2 days before my chinese spelling.&lt;br /&gt;And guess what happened on the actual day?&lt;br /&gt;I only had to spend around 5 minutes to recall what I had learn that day.&lt;br /&gt;And when the test ended, I managed to remember 9 questions.&lt;br /&gt;(Well, the fact that I missed out the 10th Question... ...&lt;br /&gt;is that I had missed the word out, laugh out loud)&lt;br /&gt;This is how effective when you actually study early.&lt;br /&gt;What for struggle and struggle the day before the test?&lt;br /&gt;Just take time to do your early revision and you will sure have more time to ask more questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alrights, back to normal posting.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SJmK5v4XEuI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/vrl3FA0wYD8/s1600-h/DSC03468.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231365166877577954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SJmK5v4XEuI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/vrl3FA0wYD8/s320/DSC03468.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;"&gt;6th August 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;Once again, I have to say that I hate Mrs Chng.&lt;br /&gt;She gave us a Literature work.&lt;br /&gt;there was 2 questions and guess what?&lt;br /&gt;She wants us to write 1 full A4 size paper for just 1 question.&lt;br /&gt;Which means this 2 questions will fill up both sides of the foolscape paper.&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, my lesson with her was just before recess.

(Late recess... ...)&lt;br /&gt;Well, the Unseen text was just 3/4 page and she wants us to write 2 full A4 size pages for 2 dumb questions.&lt;br /&gt;Well, she named her homeroom, her classroom as 'H - E Double L'&lt;br /&gt;(Hell)&lt;br /&gt;Yes, and she's right, HELL.&lt;br /&gt;What is the even worst place then hell?&lt;br /&gt;Can anyone tell me about it?&lt;br /&gt;Then I shall suggest to Mrs Chng to change it to the name of the place which is worst than hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And great that my school Principal, Mrs Karen Oei did not talk during morning assembly on Tuesday and Wednesday!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;Today, Miss Sharon Gan was on course so Mrs Jacob relief my class.&lt;br /&gt;And she was responsible enough so she, as a Biology teacher too, taught my class on the chapter on Excretion.&lt;br /&gt;Well, I like the way she teach. She does not only teach the basics but she would&lt;br /&gt;also link to other chapters that are related to the topic on Excretion.&lt;br /&gt;But after sometime, I had went into 'KO'(sleepy))mode.&lt;br /&gt;And just nice, she had stopped teaching the class. A good day for me :)&lt;br /&gt;But at times, or most of the time, she is quite naggy. She would lecture as about life.&lt;br /&gt;And I love one of the sentence she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br

2 periods of Chinese lesson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;Then I ran 6 rounds around the school soccer field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;Average was 1 minute and 22 seconds for each round.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;3 rounds timing was 4 minutes and 8 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;Good Try Jerry : )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span

style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;And next week, Monday, is NAFA re-test and test for Pull-up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am afraid that I cannot do weel for pull-ups cause my arms are weak!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I missed last year's NAFA test cause I was always late for school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this year is my first year doing Pull-up for NAFA test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I want to retake my 2.4km run timing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10 minutes and 21 seconds is too slow... ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I am aiming for 9 minutes and 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My best timing was in 2006, Secondary 2, 9 minutes 40 seconds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wish me all the best : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to start preparing for Common Test from today onwards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need to stop blogging in the weekdays starting from today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come back in the Weekends and THANKS for Your Support as my&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blog READERS and PASSER- BYs!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laugh Out

drilling a hole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The workpiece is a plastic, sadness... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went for Guzheng this afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I left at 3:30pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heard them play much better today : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jia You!

had to rewrite the number in my blog Template... ...&lt;br /&gt;And adjust it again and again and again.&lt;br /&gt;But I still like this blogskin :P&lt;br /&gt;Even though it kept giving me

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I was thinking that I am actually wasting my time blogging because only around 20 viewers come to my blog each day. What for waste my time to blog? Shouldn't I be studying at my study desk now? Instead of blogging and wasting my minutes on computer and acculmuate the time and spend on working on my topics in different subjects?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did not go for Guzheng for this whole week. And I want to skip Boys' Brigade Parade tomorrow. I had been going home as early as I can after school. And spending my time on the computer, piano, taking a nap and slacking at home. I am leading a very simple and lonely life. This is the path I had chosen to take. If I want a lively life, I should be organising outings and activities, asking people out to window shopping and even just go to a park and take a stroll down the pathway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not keep a healthy lifestyle? Have a balance and fruitful day by exercising with your friends and keep your emotion into happy mood. Which is also good for the mental health. You should now decide how you want to make full use or good use of the hours you have in a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Be a wise man and not a lazy man&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Be a generous man and yet not a petty man&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Serve and not complain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I can only say that time is precious. Please make sure that you treasure the beloved ones around you. Before it is too late to realise how important they are to you. Be confident of yourself and live your life to the fullest instead of watching the television and stretching out your hands for money from parents. You should breakthrough in life and get out of the comfort zone you are in. Comfort zone refers to things like sleeping for long hours, using the computer, playing the computer games, watching television, lazy to do things especially housechores and day dreaming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SIifFs2F8VI/AAAAAAAAAaU/X4HLAlSglPM/s1600-h/DSC03324.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226602287849664850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SIifFs2F8VI/AAAAAAAAAaU/X4HLAlSglPM/s320/DSC03324.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SIifFj5qIFI/AAAAAAAAAac/_0Gs4GB6udA/s1600-h/DSC03325.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226602285448699986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SIifFj5qIFI/AAAAAAAAAac/_0Gs4GB6udA/s320/DSC03325.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SIifF50lD4I/AAAAAAAAAak/qX5MSuoZhoI/s1600-h/DSC03308.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226602291332976514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SIifF50lD4I/AAAAAAAAAak/qX5MSuoZhoI/s320/DSC03308.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1222166170569944999-4203816518403127707?l=life-of-a-retain-student.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://life-of-a-retain-student.blogspot.com/feeds/4203816518403127707/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1222166170569944999&amp;postID=4203816518403127707' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1222166170569944999/posts/default/4203816518403127707'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1222166170569944999/posts/default/4203816518403127707'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://life-of-a-retain-student.blogspot.com/2008/07/well-i-was-thinking-that-i-am-actually.html' title=''/><author><name>Meng Jie</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SIiejSzm9_I/AAAAAAAAAZs/8A3NoJrDA4M/s72-c/DSC03317.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222166170569944999.post-2842763014539729796</id><published>2008-07-24T02:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-24T08:37:54.214-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SIiejrNA01I/AAAAAAAAAaE/JhNxYBzRObc/s1600-h/DSC03303.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226601703293375314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SIiejrNA01I/AAAAAAAAAaE/JhNxYBzRObc/s320/DSC03303.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SIiejzZP1XI/AAAAAAAAAaM/MbpAvKtmGNw/s1600-h/DSC03302.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226601705492174194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SIiejzZP1XI/AAAAAAAAAaM/MbpAvKtmGNw/s320/DSC03302.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I am at my Elder Sister home now to visit my Nephew :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today school was terrible.&lt;br /&gt;Especially with Mrs Jane Chng and Miss Sharon Gan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their names = HOMEWORK and more HOMEWORKs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I reached school early.&lt;br /&gt;I woke up then went to wear contact lens, style my hair,&lt;br /&gt;brush my teeth and wore my school uniform.&lt;br /&gt;Usual routine...

They would spend their time on&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sleeping, playing games, stoning, shopping, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;relationships. play and watch television.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;All these are mistakes when they spent too much time &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;on it and neglected their studies.And when Exams is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;just a few days later. The student would then start&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;practicising and revising all chapters at one go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Students who practice and revise last minute&lt;br /&gt;definately would lose out to those who practice regularly.&lt;br /&gt;Results would show during Mid-Year and Final Year&lt;br /&gt;Examinations. Unless the student who practice and&lt;br /&gt;revise last minute listen and understand the chapter&lt;br /&gt;well during class, the student would definately score&lt;br /&gt;badly in Major Examinations.&lt;br /&gt;(Referring to Mid-Year and Final year)&lt;br /&gt;It is because of the massive numbers of chapters&lt;br /&gt;that are tested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Therefore, being consistent is needed if you want&lt;br /&gt;to score your 'A' s. (Note, it is 'A' s not just an 'A')&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A student who is consistent can ask more question&lt;br /&gt;and practice different levels of difficulty questions.&lt;br /&gt;And when it comes to exams, the student is prepared&lt;br /&gt;to face different questions that would come up during&lt;br /&gt;exams. While the student who does it last minute&lt;br /&gt;will be struggling to understand the chapter well.&lt;br /&gt;And does not have enough time to practice.&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, most student would give up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, being &lt;strong&gt;Consistent&lt;/strong&gt; is building a &lt;strong&gt;frim foundation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in your brain and it is for the future. Why? Having the&lt;br /&gt;basics &lt;strong&gt;memorise&lt;/strong&gt; in your brain, you would have to spend&lt;br /&gt;more time on what you had builded on. Instead, you will&lt;br /&gt;have more time on chapters you are struggling with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Strive for Success and then &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Success will be Yours!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;What kind of questions should you ask when you are learning&lt;br /&gt;a new chapter?

I did something stupid outside the class.&lt;br /&gt;Then, saw Mrs Jane Chng. (I thought she had&lt;br /&gt;to go off?) Nah, she just came to inform us that&lt;br /&gt;there will be relief teacher for 2 periods of Literature.&lt;br /&gt;And another teacher will come up and lock the door&lt;br /&gt;at the end of the day. And soon, she went off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so happy that my classmates were very obedient.&lt;br /&gt;Not noisy even when there is no teacher around.&lt;br /&gt;Just do their work peacefully and spoke with&lt;br /&gt;each other softly.

What the heck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took at least 100 photos everyday except for the last day.&lt;br /&gt;In total, I took around 1200+++ photos.&lt;br /&gt;Hahas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the pictures are just scenary, friends and buildings.&lt;br /&gt;Around 10 photos is with my face in it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1222166170569944999-8709104644859844356?l=life-of-a-retain-student.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://life-of-a-retain-student.blogspot.com/feeds/8709104644859844356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1222166170569944999&amp;postID=8709104644859844356' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1222166170569944999/posts/default/8709104644859844356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1222166170569944999/posts/default/8709104644859844356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://life-of-a-retain-student.blogspot.com/2008/06/i-shant-blog-about-all-events-that.html' title='June 2008 China Trip [2]'/><author><name>Meng Jie</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SHDozbp-0LI/AAAAAAAAAPc/mmqq1ynu9SU/s72-c/IMG_4765.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222166170569944999.post-5349966605436886771</id><published>2008-06-16T00:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-12T03:18:23.364-07:00</updated><title type='text'>June 2008 China Trip</title><content type='html'>Let me recall my China Trip experience day by day... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3rd June 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't sleep at 3rd June 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Godparents, Mother and Cousins accompany me to the Airport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reached Changi Airport, Terminal 2 at 5:55am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weigh my luggauge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cleared some of my extra stuff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to Row 10 for Check-In my lugguage&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talked to Annabel and Abigail&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Annabel mother was angry with us because we talked very loud&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And she said to Annabel, "You think you all own the airport is it"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Lugguage was around 15.7Kg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my sit is at 16B(SilkAir MI922)&lt;br /&gt;On my left is Kelly and my right is Gabriel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to take care of the younger ones&lt;br /&gt;So Abigail called me 'mother' because I was taking care of Joel, Natdaniel and Timothy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was at Gate E8, helped them to take photo and called my sister.&lt;br /&gt;My Brother-in-Law picked up the call and said my sister is in Labour.&lt;br /&gt;(Going to give birth)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was stunned! ... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was waiting for entry to the plane&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I helped some of them to take photos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And know some of my Group 4 members&lt;br /&gt;(Jeslyn, Chew Huan, Abigail, Kelly, Serena and me)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... ...

/&gt;You should not dwell on online games, games and computer.&lt;br /&gt;Because they are just temporary entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;And also known as stress-reliever.&lt;br /&gt;But you need to take note that it does not help you in your examinations.&lt;br /&gt;It does not teach you how to be a good human/ citizen/ filial child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to know what is call 'Self Control management'&lt;br /&gt;Never give way to failure but take success.&lt;br /&gt;Never take the end but reach the top.&lt;br /&gt;Aim high rather than dwelling in the average or bottom.&lt;br /&gt;Never lose hope in yourself, but ask God for Wisdom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never say there is no solution but look and ask for solutions.&lt;br /&gt;Never said I had practice enough because there are too many&lt;br /&gt;different questions that will come your way.&lt;br /&gt;Never let your tireness caused you failure.&lt;br /&gt;But let yourself spend just enough time on rest,&lt;br /&gt;so that you can carry on your future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never eat too much, eat well and enough.&lt;br /&gt;Never starve yourself, because it is a way of killing yourself slowly.&lt;br /&gt;Never betray or hurt your friends because you will end up hurting yourself.&lt;br /&gt;Love your enemies because Love can change people.&lt;br /&gt;Be good for you are meant to be good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I

my cousin's place at Woodlands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I woke up at 9:00am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I left home around 9:30am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went back to my place at Bukit Batok.&lt;br

morning.&lt;br /&gt;It started at 9am and ended at 11am... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, I went to Tanglin Secondary School.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought there was Mathematics extra lesson in the afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;I also thought there was going to have W1 Cluster performance.&lt;br /&gt;When I was walking past Jamiyah Nursing Home.&lt;br /&gt;I saw Sheryl and she told me that performance and Mathematics&lt;br /&gt;extra lesson was both on Tuesday... ...&lt;br /&gt;(Which is today... ...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw Garrick and Jaren while I was walking towards the traffic

there was Guzheng practice, so I went.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Played Guzheng and chatted with Wai San.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stayed until 4pm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Went home at Bukit Batok and stared blank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Used the computer and accessed the internet

So I'd just went in the concert at 7:00pm when it started. (They can't come in all because of Jaren Ong!!! Tickets are with Jaren)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I was alone... ...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But was sms-ing Abigail about the concert. Laugh Out Louds.&lt;br /&gt;I felt lonely, very lonely. But I had no choice. So I went in and stand with the rest of the crowd. But I did not enjoyed myself at first because of the 'extra' goodie bag they gave. I had to think where to put when I was singing.&lt;br /&gt;I was feeling lonely. They were singing a lot of new songs. I was totally losted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the preaching by New Creation Church Youth Pastor, Benjamin.&lt;br /&gt;He preached about Undeserving Love from God and stepping into the Zone.&lt;br /&gt;During the preaching I went to find Benjamin and Mark.&lt;br /&gt;I was shocked when I saw them because the front half of the hall was people sitting on the ground. I was using my handphone throughout the preaching and talking to Benjamin. Mark and Nicholas was very very quiet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Benjamin wore a new type of shirt today.&lt;/strong&gt; Collar-ed shirt with big checkered boxes with designs on it, brown in colour. Hahas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They sang&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;-One Way&lt;br /&gt;-Tell the World&lt;br /&gt;-The Time has come&lt;br /&gt;-Salvation is here&lt;br /&gt;-All I need is you&lt;br /&gt;-And more more more!!!&lt;br /&gt;(My memory is bad, but they really sang a lot of new songs... ...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Benjamin said it was more like a regular church service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Cause they had preaching and alter call.&lt;br /&gt;It was true, the concert did not focus on Hillsong United Band.&lt;br /&gt;If it was really a concert, the whole session would just be HILLSONG UNTIED!!!&lt;br /&gt;Hahas. Somemore we had to pay $5.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mmm... ... Unlike the times at CHC, it was always free!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Praise God for that blessing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Concert ended at 10:15pm.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was 'waiting' for Johnny's group(Because of Benjamin lahs!!!)&lt;br /&gt;Wasted some time and ended up not eating supper with Johnny's group... ...&lt;br /&gt;Reached Changi Airport at 11pm... ...&lt;br /&gt;Lefted at 11:15pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And last train to Boon Lay was 11:18pm instead of 11:23 we saw at Expo MRT station. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Conned!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SDjna2PG7pI/AAAAAAAAAME/epZRBj67nkE/s1600-h/DSC00068.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204163817848106642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SDjna2PG7pI/AAAAAAAAAME/epZRBj67nkE/s320/DSC00068.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Changi Airport escalator-s!

We were laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went for Supper with Benjamin and Nicholas at Changi Airport, Terminal 2, Burger King!!! &lt;strong&gt;And I brought my first triple Whooper!!! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Triple patties!!! Hahas. But I did not take the photo of it... ... Sad... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And it costed me $10.25 ... ...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And my favourite is Double Swiss mushroom burger. But Benjamin told me that Triple Whooper is very nice and filling.&lt;br /&gt;Quite true :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Miss-ed the last train to Boon Lay.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;DEAD. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Took Train to Tanah Merah MRT station and took at Cab there.&lt;br /&gt;Miss Chai said Nicholas's mother called her up... ...&lt;br /&gt;So when we were in the cab, Miss Chai called Benjamin and me.&lt;br /&gt;Benjamin and me was shocked! Cause how did Miss Chai knew that Nicholas was with us???!?!!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Took cab at 11:52pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Means 8 more minutes to 12am surcharge.&lt;br /&gt;Oh my God!!!&lt;br /&gt;I was complaining indirectly to the uncle throughout the journey at 12am... ...&lt;br /&gt;Hahas, and I can't use bluetooth in the Taxi!!!&lt;br /&gt;The uncle drive taxi for 30 years and don't know Yew Tee/Chua Chu Kang area well enough... ...

Do it once and do it well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wondered what happened to my Biology results.&lt;br /&gt;I saw my new Biology Common Test result was 75/100 instead of 88/100.&lt;br /&gt;The difference is just TOO BIG.&lt;br /&gt;I can't stand it... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L1R4 = 16&lt;br /&gt;L1R5 = 22&lt;br /&gt;Class Position = 8/34&lt;br /&gt;Level position = Don't know yet... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need to maintain my Elementary Mathematics results.&lt;br /&gt;Sustain my 'A' grade.&lt;br /&gt;As well as Pure Biology and Chinese Language, the 'A' grade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am disappointed with my Combine Science (Physics).&lt;br /&gt;It is not much difference from last year.&lt;br /&gt;Can I blame it on Mr Tan Phuay Eng or Myself.&lt;br /&gt;I just dislike Physics... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SDWNZ2PG7II/AAAAAAAAAH8/2aOtVCeyNo4/s1600-h/IMG_2624.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203220419691605122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SDWNZ2PG7II/AAAAAAAAAH8/2aOtVCeyNo4/s320/IMG_2624.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;English Language&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is much more disappointing.&lt;br /&gt;I scored 41.8/100 for Mid-year combine mark... ...&lt;br /&gt;It is like, very hopeless, VERY.&lt;br /&gt;I should really blame it on Mrs Jane Chng.&lt;br /&gt;She does not teach English AT ALL.&lt;br /&gt;I mean it, she does not teach AT ALL.&lt;br /&gt;She is the teacher who forces students to keep practising English.&lt;br /&gt;Doing newspaper review, 20 Vocabulary words and Comprehansion.&lt;br /&gt;She had not taught us the correct way of doing.&lt;br /&gt;Most of us just keep practising the wrong way... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Design and Technology&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, is just like Physics... ...&lt;br /&gt;Can I blame it on Mr Phuan?&lt;br /&gt;He don't give us a lot of worksheets and notes.&lt;br /&gt;Just compared with Mr Pek who give class tests, worksheet and notes... ...&lt;br /&gt;Both Food and Nutrition and Design and Technology is just not my thing... ...&lt;br /&gt;Hate it... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Elementary Mathematics&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, Mr Mohan does not tell us the common mistakes students would do in Mathematics. Even though he had a Master in Mathematics... ...&lt;br /&gt;Unlike Mrs Debbie Chow, she would prepare us well for Examinations.&lt;br /&gt;Mr Mohan just do his job, minimum teaching that is required, and thats it for the day. But it is sad that he is often bullied by us, the students, including me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Biology&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; teachers are good, they provide sufficient notes on Ask n Learn portal.&lt;br /&gt;And also during lesson time.&lt;br /&gt;Unlike other Science subjects.&lt;br /&gt;Only Biology has used Ask n Learn well.&lt;br /&gt;But as for my class that got a trainee teacher to prepare us for Mid-Year Examinations. It was a really bad experience... ... Mr Tan Phuay Heng... ...&lt;br /&gt;I cannot blame him totally as he is only a trainee teacher. I knew he tried his very best to prepare my class for Mid-Year Examinations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SDWRqmPG7JI/AAAAAAAAAIE/-hLh5hiZIwk/s1600-h/IMG_2658.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203225105500925074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SDWRqmPG7JI/AAAAAAAAAIE/-hLh5hiZIwk/s320/IMG_2658.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Chinese Language&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, Mrs Pek, also prepared us well for Examinations.&lt;br /&gt;But she focused too much on formal and informal letter writing... ...&lt;br /&gt;Neglected a lot on Chinese paper 2 section... ...&lt;br /&gt;But overall, she did prepared us well :)&lt;br /&gt;And I had done well :)&lt;br /&gt;*Loves Chinese since Primary School&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Chemistry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, I think Mdm Heng is alittle disappointed in us as well as has low confidence in herself.

Well, I guess I am too used to my&lt;br /&gt;lonely life. A guy who goes movies by his own and go home alone.&lt;br /&gt;A guy who is just alone.&lt;br /&gt;I told them the reason why I did not join them on 12th May 2008 for their Sentosa outing. They are very understanding fellow classmates. But I just want to be alone.&lt;br /&gt;Going out and play is not my life anymore. My computer is my place of refuge. Where I feel comfort and strength and hope is around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was really happy to received back my Elementary Mathematics Paper 1 and Paper 2&lt;br /&gt;E. Maths Paper 1 (56/80) and Paper 2 (82/100).&lt;br /&gt;I felt that I can do even better, I just need to work even harder in future.&lt;br /&gt;I can do it!&lt;br /&gt;I told my friend about my results, my friend was happy for me :)&lt;br /&gt;Well, it is good to have a friend to chat with when I am bored.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Combine Science (Chemistry) this time round, (52.5/75)&lt;br /&gt;Second highest in my class, the highest was (53.5/75) just 1.5 more marks to be higher than him. I have to admit that I did last minute study for Chem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I am really sad for most of my classmates whose results did not turn out well.&lt;br /&gt;I guess I am just too afraid to offer any help right now... ... I don't think I will do that in future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Combine Science (Physics) Multiple-Choice Question (14/20)&lt;br /&gt;There was 2 careless mistakes I did for this MCQ section. The rest I really don't know :P&lt;br /&gt;But I am starting to gain interest in Physics instead of hating it a lot.&lt;br /&gt;Hahas, my class highest for MCQ is 15 and only got 2 guys got that score.&lt;br /&gt;That means I am 3rd for Physics MCQ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Combine Humanities (Literature Elective) Satisfying mark of (29/50).&lt;br /&gt;This time I was totally pull down by Prose that I did... ...&lt;br /&gt;I just dislike Poetry and Prose a lot, I mean it, a LOT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Today&lt;/strong&gt; was just going to school by taking bus 188 from Bukit Batok at 6:25am.&lt;br /&gt;And reached AYE bus-stop around 6:45am. Why was I so early? I did not sleep... ...&lt;br /&gt;I bathed before leaving home at 6:15am. A Malaysia guy approached me for coins to take bus while I was on my way to the bus-stop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From AYE bus-stop&lt;/strong&gt; I walked to school and climbed 3 steps of stairs with every step I take.&lt;br /&gt;And every step I walked down I skipped one stairs step. I started to get emo... ... ...&lt;br /&gt;As usual I would walk very fast to school and I saw the Ayer Rajah Hawker Centre going through some renovation. I decided to walk past Jamiyah nursing home instead to get to school.&lt;br /&gt;I didn't know what time it is because I don't my phone with me and my watch is with Mrs Zambree.(Because I did not do my Social Studies worksheet)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Again, I sat alone&lt;/strong&gt; facing the fence of the school soccer field. Then the track and field members started their morning training as usual. This time it was a long wait before the bell ring. I had reached school too early. Decided to talk to my ex-classmates and soon the bell rang.&lt;br /&gt;(Don't forget I am a retained student)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walked to classroom for morning assembly since Mr Tan announce to the whole school to go to From Teacher's homeroom. Went ahead to Mr Mohan's homeroom.&lt;br /&gt;As usual, relactant to sing the National Anthem and I said the pledge.&lt;br /&gt;Felt lifeless and worried for results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First two period was Literature&lt;/strong&gt; H-E-double L(Hell), with Mrs Chng. Still need to do reflections on Lit MYE questions... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Next period was Chem.&lt;/strong&gt; And I was happy that I scored better than Guo Jie and Feng Yuan. And I achieved second inposition if I am not wrong. Manfred was first for Chem in 3E4. Did corrections and went on... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chinese lesson... ...&lt;/strong&gt; My Chinese teacher, Mrs Pek wasn't in school so could not check Chinese Paper. I am so worried for my Chinese Paper 1 and Paper 2. It was really difficult to understand and answer the questions. Doubt A1 would be achieved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recess time&lt;/strong&gt; ate chicken porridge from the malay stall. Someone told me to eat some light stuff which is porridge because I suffered from Indigestion on 11th May and 12th May 2008.&lt;br /&gt;Add a lot of dark coloured sweet sauce. I was lucky not to suffer from Indigestion or Gastric pain today :) Then I was with Jackie and Joel was playing the guitar and showing off his vocal in front of me outside the BB room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Then went on for E. Maths.&lt;/strong&gt; First got back E. Maths paper 2 saw (82/100) I screamed until the whole class could hear me. I was very happy. Manfred also got (82/100).&lt;br /&gt;But I knew I am going to do badly for Paper 1 and I saw the marks... ...(49/100) But after corrections and recount marks. I realised my marks are supposed to be (56/80)for Paper 1.&lt;br /&gt;Overall average percentage for both paper was (75/100) :)&lt;br /&gt;At least 1 less C grade in my report book :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A few of my friends were shocked &lt;/strong&gt;to how well I did for E.Maths MYE.&lt;br /&gt;Joana, Farsihah, Wendy, Kim Han, Guo Jie, Jian Yang, Manfred and Shafeeq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did a lot of recounting of marks tabulating of total score. I found a lot of mistakes!&lt;br /&gt;So I argued for recount from Mr Mohan.&lt;br /&gt;I am sure Mr Mohan was alittle shock to how well I did for MYE.&lt;br /&gt;Usually, I sleep in his class or talk to Roxanne and Wendy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First I must thank my Cousin&lt;/strong&gt;, Winifred for teaching me E. Maths with so much patience.&lt;br /&gt;I really appreaciated it if not I would not had achieved A1.&lt;br /&gt;I would also like to thank my Godmother who took good care of me when I was staying at her place. (My Godmother is also my aunt and my cousin is the daughter of my Godmother)&lt;br /&gt;Next is my another cousin for allowing me to spend more time on the computer.&lt;br /&gt;We share one computer... ... At home, so I was really grateful when she let me use the computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yesterday was Nevin's birthday&lt;/strong&gt;. Didn't wish him Happy Birthday because of some unhappy past taht I would not want to mention. Wish him Happy Birthday here instead.&lt;br /&gt;Have a sweet 16 Mr Nevin Tay! Happy Birthday to YOU. God Bless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abigail&lt;/strong&gt;, I beg you to stop telling me about those guys that surrounds you, even Tony.&lt;br /&gt;I am starting to feel irritated when you called me because of them messaging you and&lt;br /&gt;asking you for stead. I would appreaciate if instead of calling me once a week, reduce it to once a month or just nothing alright? I don't come to Tanglin just to know your life in Tanglin alrights... ... No offence, just want you to know I feel irritated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1222166170569944999-5911265000797421424?l=life-of-a-retain-student.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://life-of-a-retain-student.blogspot.com/feeds/5911265000797421424/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1222166170569944999&amp;postID=5911265000797421424' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1222166170569944999/posts/default/5911265000797421424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1222166170569944999/posts/default/5911265000797421424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://life-of-a-retain-student.blogspot.com/2008/05/14th-may-2008.html' title='14th May 2008'/><author><name>Meng Jie</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SDHRNanp1pI/AAAAAAAAAEs/sxRlINdboRQ/s72-c/IMG_2307.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222166170569944999.post-618554174268187935</id><published>2008-05-12T11:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-19T12:05:31.902-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I was hurted by lies</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SDHPDKnp1oI/AAAAAAAAAEk/mVwBRN2Nkb0/s1600-h/Judges.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202166697886865026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_JWdYzSAhkxc/SDHPDKnp1oI/AAAAAAAAAEk/mVwBRN2Nkb0/s320/Judges.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Camp Temasek IV 2005, loved it~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yesterday,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;someone hurt me with lies.&lt;br /&gt;I was hurted emotionally and mentally.&lt;br /&gt;I was already very tried after my examinations&lt;br /&gt;and the person is still doing that to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a very bad experience for me to be hurt emotionally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That person was very nice to me. Then, I realised that person had &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;been lying through the words that I saw through my eyes. It is so strange and hurtful feeling. What are friends when there are lies in between us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I just would want to pray hard,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that things would go back to normal.&lt;br /&gt;Life would still go on after being hurt by the person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I went back Bukit Batok&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after Combine Science (Chemistry) paper.&lt;br /&gt;I had reached home at 10:30am.

I lost hope... ... I am being over confident in myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why must my class get Mr Tan to prepare us for Mid-Year Examinations and why not 3E5. I am so sad now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I was so stressed by Social Studies because I could not understand Source-Based Questions well enough. And Literature elective was the same situation. I hope I will pass again for my Combine Humanities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guo Jie borrowed stationery from me again. This time, a black pen. He said he needs an extra black pen just in case. I was so dumb I gave him my pen and I left with only one black pen. Why am I so helpful. When I also need an extra pen... ... And he forgotten to return my black pen to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had learned my lesson to buy extra black ink refill for back-up. It is really disturbing when he gave me those reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need to study now. Even if I cannot top Biology again.
