school for me has officially come to an end. it's all over! 4 years of endurance! i feel a sense of achievement that i've survived. next wednesday is graduation day. wow. time really flies.

decided to slack today to equalise the amount of play with the amount of work i've done over the week. i sure do feel better!

all right i gtg. exactly a month more to freedom! woohoo! i just can't wait.

time to blog! my prelim results were better than i had expected. strange man. argh heck it's the Os that count.

only 1 more week left of school. i'm getting tonnes of worksheets and practice papers everyday now. haha. and school is becoming more fun! now, we play football in class like everyday with a size 2 or 3 ball. since the floor's really smooth and slippery, we do fall down everytime. and it's really funny haha. we also play according to the 'first goal wins' format. therefore, the matches are really fast-paced and thrilling! our air-conditioned classroom really complements our playing too.

it's time for me to shift up a gear in my revision. time to mug even more! had been slacking quite a lot for the past 2 weeks(after my preliminary examinations). i still revised lah. but not a lot. time for me to surfeit in practice papers.

good bye

now that my prelims are over, i'll blog.

my prelims were disastrous. i became sick right in the middle of my on-going prelims and hence became more lethargic. i could not absorb what i learnt or revised as much as i normally would and also occasionally had trouble trying to remember certain key points(especially in the chem paper. damn it).

bah. i shall not give any more excuses. what's the use of crying over spilt milk. i've been in deep thought over the past week about where i would go after my Os - JC or Poly. Well, i think i should be realistic now. If i really can't do it, i really can't do it. What is the use of going to an elite school? i would only have to struggle in order to cope and be bombarded with adverse effects, like depression, exhaustion and low morale. I would not have enough time for my leisure pursuits. Life would be meaningless. Tuition would help. However, i would only be lying to myself about my capability. What is the use of aceing examinations with the aid of tuition? Ultimately, examinations are meant to gauge one's proficiency. Yes i know, tuition would make one have better qualifications, which would lead to higher-pay jobs. However, what makes one so sure that one would be able to handle an occupation requiring exceptional qualifications if one has been undergoing tuition one's entire life? By failing this way, it only shows that one is incapable and has been lying to one's self. So, does tuition really help? Therefore, why go to a good school when you are factually not meant for it? Let's be realistic here.

I think i should pursue in an area where my interest lies. I personally do not think i'm suited for JC. I want to live an enjoyable and meaningful life. I'd rather do something that i like with a lower pay than do something i do not like with a higher pay. JC or polytechnic? i'd have to go with poly for now.

The confusion goes on....
