Some friends and I conceeded that our lives seemed full of downs (and no ups) ever since we turned 18. It's just plain demoralising to experience one setback after another, in chronological sequence: getting back of A levels results, SSEF, H3 Chem test... nothing else YET and I hope to keep it that way. Coming blocks looks like something that would ( Read more... )

D.

What's the mark range for D?

I don't really remember myself getting a D at all in my entire life, until today. The first time I get a D for anything has to be my A levels Chinese History exam. So when I got the sms from my teacher today while being sick at home disappointment or sadness were not the first things to hit me. Instead, it was "what ( Read more... )

Now I know what bring busy really means. It means you have to use the bit of lag time before doing one thing to think about another  thing which will come up really soon. It means you have to ration your time such that at least everything gets a little of your attention. It means you really have to brace yourself to sustain optimism and ( Read more... )

I'm posting! (now isn't that rare...)

And because I haven't posted for so long it feels as if something pent up urgently needs release. This time it isn't the usual angsty kind of feeling I had usually had last year, but a pleasure that just feels like sharing itself with others who might be feeling the same way.

I'm feeling a profound sense of ( Read more... )

I should have listened to Zhang Sheng when he told me not to reach any time before 8.30am on SAT day. All I did from 7.30am (the time I reached) till then was queue up (in the wrong line for most of the time) for reigstration. And the person at the registration counter wasn't any help in telling me what's the problem with my collegeboard account. ( Read more... )

I get the feeling I've had a very LONG weekend, and it seems late nights out on both friday and saturday is all it takes.

I'm getting less expressive by the day. I don't really talk to people on msn, I don't blog, and I don't write to myself in my diary anymore, and I don't even feel the pressing need to do so because I seem to have lost ( Read more... )

Drunk on books, that is ( Read more... )

Hmm... I came to this page on impulse. Actually nothing much happened, but I just wanted to write something down.

Are there times when you really want to plunge into a good book and forget about all other things but can't because whichever book you pick up simply refuses to be easily comprehensible (when it isn't supposed to be)? Facing such a ( Read more... )

I just called lao shi. He's at rehearsal so he hung up after talking for like two lines.

The last time I talked to him was 4 months ago, when I went to his house only to find out that he was teaching another student, having completely forgotten about my lesson.

As much as I missed him and missed going for lessons I had feared talking to him and ( Read more... )

I'm being lag now the same way as I had been lag for almost the entire year - I'm going to write about HCCO interactions, which happened a week ago.

The day after interaction I was aching all over the place thanks to the numerous times (>25 at least) I climbed the stairs for game briefing and carrying of game equipments and intruments. But all I was ( Read more... )
