Flashback - Aug to Oct 06

update (5/8) - O level orals... just had a similar experience in the form of debating auditions. still nervous as usual. ahh... so this was the period my turning point came.



school review (11/8) - still havn seen anyone else doing a school review. missin those days in sec sch and my classmates. plus i cant go back to GMSS ever again. the ratio of boys to girls in sec 4 is still about the same as my current class. my batch of o lvl students are indeed quite bad. in my class only 1 made it to jc. 6 not qualified for poly. the rest in poly or MI. even with my score im easily in the top 5 in class and top 20 in school. haha. that classmate.. thinking of it again he's quite a peculiar character. He made a big improvement in O levels, with l1r4 20. And that eraser he owes me still hasnt been replaced.

Forgotten! (15/8) - i shall see if i am more remembered this year.

Dreams of life (26/8) - still remains an inspirational song to me. Too bad i didnt start my blog like when i was a kid.. if not i could in a way go back to my childhood days.

Subject review (2/9) - english: still like it tho i didnt do well in it. as usual i didnt study for it.
biology: still deemed as a mindless subject. just memory work. so much easier after mugging.
chemistry: all about concepts. different way of learning, but about as easy as bio.
socia studies: source base is actually so easy to learn. all i needed was 1 piece of paper with SB qn formats. mugging needed only for essays. And thank God i only had 6 subjects and so didnt drop humans cos i got a2. i would have given up on it if not for wanting to go jc, and my l1r4 would have been 13 instead. cant get into dtrm.
geography: i said," only by God's grace can i do well in it." Tingting said,"then by God's grace it shall be." And by God's grace i got A2! Amen to that!
principle of accounts: true enough, a little error at the start caused me to have the whole accounts messed up in my o lvl paper. and i wasted much time correcting it.
F&N: my best-turned-worst subject. but i still like foood!
Mathematics: indeed it wasnt too late to buck up on it, and i did.
CLB: come think of it, maybe because of this i wasnt accepted into SRJC.
O lvl average: about 70%. 11.2% improvement.

The songs speak (8/9) - now that i have an ipod, i might wanna do i again some time! still looks fun.
caleb: are u all brenda wants? lol
ivan: poor guy still yearning for love. nvm.. its coming closer each day!
derrick: so have u been taking the right medecines lately?
jeremy: maybe the tide is high suggests he gets too high and goes frantic.
joel: have u found ur way back from the past?
Karina: joined dance. so can express herself in actions. good job.
Joyce teo: perhaps those arms are still wide open for u. found it yet?
Joycelyn: say im still ur angel!
Henry: his never-say -goodbye attitude has helped the church to manage its resources well.
Ting ting: wake up, stop dreaming! wahaha!!
Stacey: until now, still not feminine enough.
Claudia: save the summer sunshine for the beans. haha
Ryan: claudia has been running to him. hope no other girls did.=)
Lawrence: still have no idea what that could imply
Gabby: in the army camp, close to nature, the music's all around u.
Adeline: hope u gotten out of that middle!
Joanne: sometimes hate = love
Aikhong: not the queen, but not left out either
Daniel: u wanna make me be stacey's mom? no thx even if i can
Kaixin: may angels bring u here again. (but apparently she doesnt come at all)

back to old school (23/9) - would sure like to go again if there was one this year. hope more ppl turn up. still got many ive yet to see. and hope my form teacher doesnt give birth again at this time

1 down, 1 more to go (7/9) - blundered in prelims, blundered again in o levels. and no more chance after that. and now i can roughly answer those qns: 1. not good choice. 2.i heard of better jc's lecturers being really hateable like lots of sarcasm, moving at top speed and leaving students lagging behind, not caring about them n not helpful. from the testimony of an ex njc student. 3. The system of education and syllabus is almost same, but in much greater depth and width. 4. SG's education system breeds eliteism.

Failed fame (22/9) - havn go hear what the school song is like now. and i dun tink the students recognise the author. But its still really nice to have a legacy carried on. The vouchers have been all spent on games, which werent very good.

more updates next time
