Dante's Cove

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 14:06:24 GMT

Oh my god I am so touched. The characters in the soap opera, namely the Dante's Cove are so mesmerizing!

I love the mid-age custumes! They make people look gentler and smart.

Just hope the MYE could pass soon so that I could drawn myself in it.

Frankly speaking, I was shocked by the beauty of the male host.

SLASHING makes the world perfect!

White fluffy clouds~

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 16:09:53 GMT

Mrs. Rupa is my role-model! You know what she said in the EL class? "Imagine white fluffy clouds drifting in the azure blue skies." so mesmerising！I could only give "The moon is fully risen and shines over the sea." when I was told to describe tranquility. Emmm... must work hard to achieve lauguage accuracy!

Besides, today is La Ba.

Happy La Ba!

Holiday Assignment and the incoming post test

Sat, 05 Jan 2008 10:40:38 GMT

Ahh.. There is a lady that i dislike, who is, however, recently becomes one of our subject teacher. Oh, great. I'll try to find some shining point of her and try to be friendly with her. Regarding the holiday assignment, is was a incubus. Too many to be handed in yet too little had been done. Fight! Sherry!

And the EM/AM tests, which are gonna to come next week, are also fritening. Maths is one of my weakest. And I haven't work on it for months. May the God of Math bless me!

Lastly, I love my new roommate. She's so kind and benign and friendly. I'm loooooooooking forward to 2008!

English Final Year Exam

Fri, 21 Sep 2007 10:44:48 GMT

History repeats itself. I mean, our EL FYE appeals to be a disaster again. The fives topics for Section A are "Rivalry", "Describe a time when you were unexpectedly thrust into limelight", "Write about a time when you got in trouble in law" and two discussive writing respectively. Obviously, no one was brave enough to try discussive. Most of us chose narrative. I also chose the second topic, which I put in all the words regarding "embarrassment" which I had just memorized ten hour earlier (I did not went to sleep until two o'clock cuz I was dreaded the prospect of failing EL. It would be extremely shameful.) Section B was functional writing. Formal letter, which we had practiced for ages. Yet time was not sufficient for me. I could barely finish.

Comprehension, predictably, was a failure. Passage A denotes a silly three-wheeled car produced by one of the Japan's most influential company. It talked about its advantages and disadvantages, which was rather lengthy and tedious. The vocabulary question was exceptionally confussing. I didn't know. Which word tells you that the Vice-president was pressed to answer the question? "Paused" or "finally"? Honestly speaking, I spent only 45 mins on compre cuz I knew I would definitely fail, so I focused more on the summary part which I identified 17 points and converted them into my "own words" as far as possible. Hopefully, it would again save me from the depth of the hell.

Still having nine more subjects to fight for. Go, Sherry!

Class Outing

Sat, 01 Sep 2007 13:00:57 GMT

We talked about our future last night. My ambition is to get to Ruffles Junior College, Princeton University(another alternate choice is Harvard), get myself a lucrative job after graduating, publish a book written in English, develop a movie, and then get married at around 30. I want a DINK(Double Income No Kid) family and two foster children - a lovely girl and a mischievous boy who resemble my future husband. Emmm.. How wonderful life would be...

Regarding Common Test

Fri, 24 Aug 2007 07:48:50 GMT

I failed this common test.

Firstly, My Bio results is abysmal. It's kind of near the border line. I believed no one had done as bad as me. It was so depressing! I studies realy hard for Bio! I memorized every single word the text-book said. But I had also realized that I did not pay much attention in the class. This was really a bad habit. So I'd recently decided to adopted Boxer (The horse in the Book <Animal Farm>)'s personal motto as mine - I will work harder!

Secondly, I did not do well in Chem. For the second question, I lost a total of 8 marks, which really pissed me off. If only I got one of them right... Oh, the air was heavy with the smell of my blood...

And I did not do well in both A maths and E maths... For A maths it's only 33/50. I believed someone in C2 had got full marks. To fail math was really shameful.

However, I knew as clearly as everyone else the futility of complaining. I will work hard!~

By the way, August the 27th is the Chinese Halloween... Enjoy yourself!

Chinese Valentine’s Day

Sat, 18 Aug 2007 10:06:11 GMT

Chinese Valentine’s Day

Chinese Valentine’s Day, July the 7th of the Chinese lunar calendar, falls on August the 19^th this year, which is apparently tomorrow.

However, it is only till today that I’ve been informed by my friends during our bridging course. The very second I realized what happened, I was taken aback. One of the most prominent days for Chinese it is, it is forgotten.

That’s not true. I did not forget it thoroughly, for I had some cherish memories with someone, which is, long time ago. As what Captain Jack Sparrow said, ‘We are good friends. Were. Have been. Before.’ Must be a pity to lose you, forever.

The horrifying Final-year test is incoming, leaving no time for me to be here to chit-chat with you all. See you later and… all the best for your guys! Take your sweet time!

Happy birthday, Singapore

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 11:03:42 GMT

Tomorrow is 9th of Augest, Singapore's 42nd birthday. Happy birthday, Singapore.

This morning we had the national day celebration. I mean, the Singapore national day celebration. I knew clearly as everyone else that today was not my day. Yet I still felt ecstatic for my friends and as well as for Singapore. Christina wept. I used to treat her as if she was a pampered child, I was wrong. She had her thoughts. She had a sense of patriotism which I guessed I had long lost. Yet I did not agree with the way she behaved. It was Singapore's national day, nonetheless. The Singapore Government offered us money, study opportunities and other stuffs which were even beyond our imagination several years ago. I sort of felt that if we did not appreciate them we were taking advantanges from them. And I don't like taking advantages from anyone else. So, Julie and I screamed and laughed joyfully today and we had a blissful time. By the way, I looooooooooooved the songs they sang. They reminded me of China, though we never sang songs in our national day -- we got holidays. People says different cultural backgrounds yield different customs. If so, the Singaporean cultural background is certainly one of the best kinds.

Happy birthday, Singapura!

Secondly, I’d like to say thank you to our teacher-in-charge, Miss Ho, whose kindness and helpfulness had made this trip successful. Miss Ho gave us plenty of constructive suggestions during the trip and we learnt a lot of physics-related knowledge from her. That’s really very kind of her.

Mrs. Rupa, you let me down

Mrs. Rupa, you let me down

06/07/2007

This is the last day I stay in Singapore. Tomorrow I will fly to Hong Kong to begin my beautifully created Microsoft Student Summer Trip. Yet I was not so delightful. Today Miss Chia announced the comments for our oral English Exam and she surprisingly called out my name, which suggested that I did not do well in the exam. I was depressed. Grace pointed out that I might be too self-confident, since no one could ever be so sure about her examination result. But this is different. I worked so hard. If there is ever a subject I would devote myself completely in to it, then this is English. Days and nights I practice for the oral exam, hoping to get a better result to please both my parents and my dear teachers. Yet this is this harsh reality that I nearly fail it. What is wrong with the education system? I just can’t figure it out myself. Help…

Get me a VISA

Get me a VISA

25/07/2007

Wednesday is a disaster. At about 8 o’clock I went off school with a leave slip from Miss Ho to get myself a Visa, which would enable me to enter Hong Kong freely this weekend.

I Can Get No Satisfaction

I Can Get No Satisfaction

24/07/2007

What is plagiarism? Don’t tell me. Cuz no matter what you say, I’m going to use it as the title of day’s…ehh… argumentative essay? And my point is, the rolling stones is fantastic! No wonder they had successfully survived from 60’s till now, their blues surely would lives as long as music itself. I used to like songs because of their ineffable metaphors. No longer. The stones write and sing SONGS, music for music’s sake. Yet you could still feel something in their continuous repetition, something that is beyond words. If you’d ever listen to the song <Satisfaction>, you would get what I mean. Some claim that the best part of reading is when a feeling, an idea, a way of looking at things, that is, especially to you, set down by another people, who is, probably long dead. It is as if a hand has come out, and taken you. Music is the same thing, let along blues, the essential part of it. I can get no satisfaction enjoying The Stones!
