-- Why im-glamorous?
// Definition of glamorous (American spelling) : Attractive.
// im-glamorous.blogdrive (previously jellybeaniex.blogdrive) has attracted readers from all around the world including Singaporeans and Indonesians, yada yada. I have been bombarded umpteen times by regular readers on my tagboard (oh, the irony) for criticising their idols such as Fiona Xie, S.H.E (I wonder how they ever made it big) and Jolin Tsai. Feeling traumatized and afraid that the blog will become more popular, I decided to move my blog to the current URL.
-- Why jellybeaniex?
// Definition of jellybeaniex : jellybean with additional letters i, e and x.
// I love the colours and texture of jellybeans.
// I know having additional yet unnecessary alphabets at the end of a word makes one look twitish. I wanted to register jellybeans or jellybeanx @hotmail.com but much to my dismay, they were in use. Left with no choice, I registered jellybeaniex@hotmail.com instead. That explains the previous URL of this blog.

First and foremost, congratulations to Hady Mirza for winning the Singapore Idol title this year. Jonathan Leong deserved to be owned because he sang terribly. And I loathe him even more whenever he sings Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol -- one of my most hated songs. I don't know why Chasing Cars is so popular. The tune is boring (maybe except for the chorus), the video is boring, the lyrics is boring! To me, okay? The tune, especially the start, is so repetitive. I nearly fell asleep when 987FM was playing that song. And the band really live up to their names. I really felt chilly while hearing that song. HAHAHAHA. Anyway, when Florence Lian commented that Jonathan Leong "has the looks and the voice" during the finals, I nearly puked my dinner out. Yeah, Jonathan Leong used to be a model from what I heard. But being a model doesn't mean you're so drop-dead good looking. Frankly speaking, I don't find Jonathan Leong attractive, man. I think he has a face of an uncle, in other words, he looks old, probably because of the mole on his chin and his big disgusting nose. Not only does he sound cheesy when he sings, he has a bunch of unreasonable fans (especially that piece of lard. Just shut your trap and get out of my face, bitch.) According to Tetrina, his fans actually remained in the Singapore Indoor Stadium after the show and protested, saying what, Hady Mirza doesn't deserve to win and whatsoever. These people need to get a life and accept the fact that Jonathan Leong is trash as compared to Hady Mirza. And those fools who claimed that Jonathan should be the winner because the previous winner is already a malay, you should just freaking get out of that bloody kotex and stop being such a racist. Who on Earth said if the previous winner is a malay, the present winner cannot be of the same race? What the hell, the government should apprehend these people and put them in jail for their racist remarks. Hahahaha! By the way, sorry to burst your bubbles my dear Jonathan fans but, Hady won 70% of the votes whereas Jonathan only won 51%. Sad, isn't it? That's far worse than loser Sylvester Sim. Hahahahahaha!! Oh, Jonathan has yet to receive a recording contract! LMAO. What happened? I thought first runner-ups are supposed to get a contract as well?
Okay, I think I should just stop gloating over his misfortune before his fans come bashing my face. LOLOL.
Ahh well, back to serious business, yeah.
A few weeks ago, I've received a mysterious phone call. It rang for a few second and stopped. My caller ID showed a string of numbers. The phone number is +8613450085363, something like an overseas phone call. So I returned the call, but 'Invalid' appeared on the screen on my phone. Initially, I thought the person called the wrong number, so I didn't think much about it until recently, my Mom, Tetrina, Wenqin and some of friends received phone calls with numbers beginning with +861! Something was really wrong. So I went online and look up on this number using Google.
I think those who use prepaid cards like me are safe. The number varies, by the way, so don't pick up any +861 calls unless you know the number.
On the last week of September, we basically revised and did assignments, revised and did assignments, revised and did assignments. A VERY UNENJOYABLE AND DULL WEEK! During the triple periods of Geography on Monday, we did the Five-Year-Series. There was one question on Tourism whereby we have to identify the attractions in Singapore on the given map! I tell you, I didn't even know where Chinatown, Singapore Zoological Gardens, Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve, Singapore Bird Park, Chinese Garden and Haw Pau Villa are situated k! I gotta admit that I fail to be a Singaporean, so, if my foreign friends were to come to Singapore, I would not be their tour guides. I would hand them the Singapore map instead. And man, this is the shit. How am I supposed to get into Tourism course in Singapore Polytechnic when I don't even know where the attractions are located?
The Principal wanted to see my class and 4A2 during Mother Tongue period in the AVA room, so we went down. Like what we expected, the Principal talked about academic results and as usual, she compared the Preliminary results of my class with 4A2's. So irritating. She also vaunted that Hillgrove Secondary School was included in the list of value-added schools which appeared on The Straits Times (25/9/2006 Home section, page 5) and she wanted everyone to show the page to our parents! Okay, so I showed it to my Mom. After explaining to her what it was about and everything, she was like, "Ohh.. so you show me this for what?" HAHAHAHAHAH!! I told her, "My principal wants you to know that Hillgrove is a very good school. We're only under grade B3 lor." Hahahaha, see, my parents don't even give a damn. And by the way, the Principle wanted us to get good results for N/O-levels.. not because it'll help us in our future but, it'll earn the school awards! What the hell, are school Principles SO SELFISH these days? And also, who cares if the school got tore down in the future? I bet my perspective employers are more concern about my University certificates.
On the 26th of September, I was woken up by my Mom at about 4am in the morning. She came into my room telling me that my female dog, Angel, had given birth to a male puppy. Apparently, my Mom was woken up by my male dog because it was barking relentlessly. My Mom got out of her bed and went to the kitchen, where the dog cages were, to supposedly yell at it for waking her up. But as she was walking to the kitchen, she heard cries of a puppy. She went near the cage and found a male puppy crawling clumsily on the mat. But the male puppy was short-lived. Sigh. About 20 minutes after we went to the kitchen, Angel delivered another puppy. It was a female. Angel bit and ATE the water bag so that the female puppy was able to breathe and get out of it. It was so disgusting! LOL! Oh by the way, the water bag wasn't blood-red in colour. Instead, it was dark purplish! Gross. Another 15 minutes later, Angel delivered a male puppy. It or rather, the water bag, was so rigid. It wasn't moving a bit. So my Mom and I sensed something amiss. After Angel had bitten the bag, we quickly took the male puppy out of it. It was already dead. I guess the puppy died when it was still in the mother's womb. The puppy looked rather undeveloped and abnormal because its body shape was not proportionate to its body, and it has rather long neck. Poor puppy. I held it in my hands for quite awhile until I was ready to throw it into the rubbish chute. If carcasses don't decompose, I would keep it. The next puppy that came out was a female. Look, a pattern! Hahahah! Male to female, female to male, and male to female! Before Angel was due, My Mom and I had a bet. Whoever guessed the number of female and male puppies Angel would receive $2 from the loser. I guessed 2 males and 2 females while my Mom guess 1 male and 3 females. Hahahahahaha!! It was turned out to be what I thought! Bullseye! After giving birth to 4 puppies already (as the veterinarian told us that we would only have 4), we went to bed at about 5.50am due to the long intervals between puppies. When I was about to close my eyes, my Mom barged in and woke me up, AGAIN! She was shouting my name, "Fiona! Fiona!!" I said, "What?" I was so afraid that something was happening to the puppies! "I think Angel is delivering another one!" she shouted, filled with exuberance. So my Mom and I ran to the kitchen and, INDEED, we saw another water bag egressing through. I was like, . HAHAHAHAHA!! Okay, the last puppy was a female. A very miniature one. In other words, I lost my bet. But it's worth it. Hahaha! All puppies were so sticky and Angel's ass was so, ugh, dirty and sticky. And because of this, I only got to sleep for about 2 hours, but it's okay as I would be having PE and CME lessons later on. I could doze away during these useless periods. Hahahahah.
I've got plenty of pictures to show.
Angel before giving birth to her puppies.
Angel, Ven and their puppies.
I made a short video on my puppies. I would laugh whenever I watch the video. Hahahahaha! Gosh, the puppies are so cute! Wait for the video to load before you watch. Enjoy!
During Mother Tongue period, we continued to watch a movie based on the rural lives (or something like that) in China. It's about a 13 year old teacher and her mischievous students. As they were very poor, the school was in a ramshackle condition and they did not even have the money to buy chalks. Anyway, the movie is called Yi4 Ge4 Ye3 Bu4 Neng2 Shao3, or No One Less. But be warned, the main character (the 13 year old teacher) is rather stupid and stubborn in the movie. You will get rather frustrated while watching it, just like me. Seriously, while I was watching the movie, I kept going on and on, complaining how stupid the teacher was (you'll know why if you watch it). People around my table were irritated by me I guess. HAHHAHAHAHA!!
On the 27th, a bat flew into my classroom. Hahahahaahaha! I didn't exactly see what it was, because the door was shut as the guys didn't want to let the bat escape, I think. I initially thought it was a bird, but Adelene told me it was actually a BAT. What the hell was the bat doing in the classroom? To suck Weijian's blood? Hahaha!! Oh god, if Weijian were to be bitten, he would turn into a vampire and we would be in deep, deep trouble!! Okay, joking. Too imaginative already. The guys were a bunch of evil people. They closed the door when some girls were still inside? HAHAHAHAHA!! Anyway, the girls who were inside the classroom (Xiaoqing and I were outside, thank God) were screaming away. It was a very hilarious sight. HAHAHAHA!!
During English period, I was picked to go to the front and teach the class. Actually, not really. It was something like a presentation. I was supposed to ummm, analyse or summarise one of the paragraphs on the comprehension passage. I was to pick out some of the important points and unfamiliar words that I think most of my classmates didn't know their meanings. I was unluckily chosen to summarize a paragraph I hated the most (I know because it was to be included in the summary question.) So yeah, I did what I was told and my classmates complained that my voice was surprisingly soft. HAHAHAHAHA!! Weird, man. I thought I was LOUD. Or maybe I could only hear myself. I managed to answer all the questions that were asked by my classmates and Ms Toh regarding the passage. Yay. No embarrassment. Hahahahahaha.
Triple periods of Social Studies were replaced by a period of Geography and two periods of games in the computer lab. Thank God Mdm Chan was the one teaching Geography, not... you know. Hahahahaha! After Geography, we went down to the Computer Lab to play a silly computer game which tested us how well we know Singapore! People who knew Singapore VERY well were ranked 'Expert Builder'. People who knew Singapore slightly well were ranked 'Senior Builder' while the rest, the stupider ones were ranked 'Junior Builder', the lowest rank of all. HAHAHAHA. The keyboard was not connected to my computer so I couldn't log in. It was only fixed after 50 minutes when we only had 2 periods (70 minutes?)! So while everyone else was playing, I was there staring into space. HAHAHAHA!! Mdm Chan told me to observe how Adelene, who was sitting just beside me, played the silly game, but I didn't want to because it would spoil the fun of it. Uhh okay, Adelene managed to finish hers very quickly, so I got to use her monitor. I played the game, and guess what I was ranked? JUNIOR BUILDER!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Holy shit, I think I better migrate to somewhere else. I'm disgracing the country.
We went back to class after that for Mother Tongue lessons. Mdm Khong came in and told us a riddle, but only people who knew Cantonese or Chinese could solve it. Okay, the story goes like this:
Once upon a time, there was a couple. The husband was an outgoing person, so he rarely stayed at home. One day, his wife had enough, so she drew something on a piece of paper and gave it to him. After looking at it, the husband decided to return home and he never dared to go out that frequently anymore.
This is the content of the letter.
What does the letter mean? The answer will be revealed later at the end of the entry.
Went home after school and my Mom told me that my male puppy was severely injured and that it wouldn't survive for long. Apparently, my dog Angel had bitten its legs and arms the day before when she was carrying the puppy using her teeth from one place to another, and we thought it wasn't that serious so we didn't do much about it. We just applied some medicated lotion for animals onto its injured area. My Mom didn't bring it to the Vet because she thought nothing could be done onto its wounds as a newborn puppy is not supposed to have any vaccination. The poor puppy was lying motionlessly on the mat. Its whole body turned greyish-pink and it felt so algid. Its wounds had also turned into black deep holes. It probably felt weak because bacteria had entered into its wounds. I was all misty-eyed because I knew it was gonna die. My Mom saw tears flowing down my cheeks as I was looking at the puppy, and she was like, "Why are you crying? It's only a puppy..." I looked at her as I spoke, "A puppy has a life too." I helped to bandage the puppy's injured legs and arms to stop the bleeding. For the next 7 hours or so, I held the puppy in my hands to keep it warm. As it didn't have the strength to suck the milk from the mother's nipples, we had to feed it with cow's milk. Unfortunately, it was still as weak.
A small bed made using cardboard was made for the dying puppy. I didn't want the puppy to be with the Mother so I placed it next to my bed. I fell asleep after studying at about 1am. My sister, who shared the same room with me, stayed awake to take care of it until her TV show ended. At about 2.40am, my sister woke me up, exclaiming that the puppy had stop moving or breathing. I woke up, shook the puppy a bit, but there wasn't any response. I cried again while bringing it to the kitchen. Angel licked the carcass' face for the last time. My mother was woken up as well, and she demanded me to wrap the puppy with a piece of newspaper and then throw it into the rubbish chute. The puppy was only 2 days old. Because the only male puppy was rather dear to me, I had secretly given him a name. He was named Messiah (say Mer-sai-a).
26/9/2006 ~ 28/9/2006
After Messiah left, I'm left with three FEMALE puppies. Yeah, no males.
Angel and puppies clean and fresh.
Funny puppies. Haha. Oh by the way, I've named the puppies according to their sizes. The biggest (second oldest) puppy is called Da Da. The medium-sized puppy (oldest) is called Zhong Zhong while the smallest puppy (youngest) is called Xiao Xiao. CUTE RIGHT?
I was watching the video taken when the puppies were born. Messiah was so adorably active and it was sucking its Mom's milk with all its strength. Why must tragedy befall him? Why wasn't it given a chance to live?
Walked to school the next morning, and Adelene was the first one to notice my swollen eyes. I didn't tell her what happened when she asked because it would just make me feel more sad. Xiaoqing was the next to notice, but she already knew what happened without even explaining to her because I had told her about my injured puppy the day before. So one by one, classmates who I am rather close with came to console me. Wenqin, Tetrina, Cheryl, Jianming and other friends that I've not mentioned came to comfort me during recess. Thank you friends for being there when I'm down
Alright, enough of my dead puppy.* It really saddens me when I type about this. Ugh, why can't I just get over it!
Anyway, Pastoral Care and English periods on that day were replaced by Geography. Two hella boring periods of Geography because all Ms Siew did was to say, "You guys ahh.. Sec Four already, still don't take your work seriously. Look at your work (Five-Year Series). It's so badly done! Obviously you guys have not started your revision," and she continued to ramble. No offence but I seriously find her irritating. Anyway, the reason why our work were terribly done was because the questions were sort of new to us (really!), and she didn't teach or mention anything about that before. Goddammit, she was so ridiculous that even those well-behaved girls in my class wanted to shut her up. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!
After that was triple periods of Math. We went to the Gymnasium to do our last mock paper (Bukit Batok Secondary School) before the actual N-level examination started. Finished the whole paper on time. Ms Koh managed to mark every paper before school ends that day and returned them to us. I scored a whopping 54/60 for that paper!
We had our last lessons on the 29th. I would definitely miss teachers like Ms Toh, Mr Yeo and Ms Koh if I were to be posted to ITE, or if they were to transfer to another school the following year. These are some of the teachers I respect most. They are able to tolerate the class for like, 1 or more years. GOOD ENDURANCE!
Received my report slip for Preliminary Exam during Class Contact Time. It was TERRIBLY DONE!! Oh my god, my class position fell from 6th to 12th! My level position fell from 9th last year to 17th! OH MY FREAKING GOD!! I was so demoralized. However, if I were in Wenqin's class (4A2), I would probably be ranked 5th in class. Hahahaha, weird? Nah, it's not that their standards are lower than us. It's because of the subjects they took. History paper was shit so the whole class flunked it. Hahahahah!!
No more Scholarship award for me this year. WAAAAAAAAHH, I can't purchase anymore albums!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Now, as for N-LEVEL, I guess I am gonna do pretty badly for most papers.
Last Monday was the start of the second part of N-level. We had English Paper 1 and Paper 2. I struggled while doing Paper 1 because I ran out of ideas of what to write for Essay Writing. Situational Writing was rather doable. Although I managed to finish Situational Writing in about 30 minutes time, I didn't have enough time to complete Essay Writing. I wasted 20 minutes on planning, but I ran out of points in the end. So I was left with less than 40 minutes to write an essay! When the Chief Examiner told us to stop writing, I was still scribbling and my hand was trembling like nobody's business. Ms Toh was waiting patiently beside me for me to conclude my essay so that she could collect my paper. My table was in a complete mess, and the cover page wasn't filled in! Thank God she guided me. Ugh, English is a goner without Paper 1. Even though I concluded my essay, it wasn't completed!! I just concluded it because I was running out of time. HOLY MOLLY. Anyway, after my answer script was collected, I read the question I attempted again. I realized it was, "Write about what happened when someone had to make a difficult decision which pleased some people and upset others." It asked for SOMEONE when I actually wrote 'I'. I was like, CRAP! My heart was palpitating so rapidly. I was so sad that I teared!! Then Adelene came to tell me that writing 'I' is acceptable. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Paper 2 was freakin' easy man. Seriously. I think it's almost like Primary 6 standard. There are questions which we were supposed to TICK the correct answers. TICK!!! I agree with Angeline. Even PSLE English paper didn't have such fun questions! The setter of the paper must be one kind soul!! But having a too easy paper isn't really a good thing. Marks would be moderated if there are high number of candidates who scored distinction. Ummm, I screwed up summary and cloze passage. For summary, I exceeded the maximum word required. I wrote 148 words when they asked for 130 words. I tried to reduce the number of words by striking off unwanted sentences, but it still remained above 130! Sickening paper. As for cloze passage, I wrote hubbubbing for 'The frogs _______ noisily' because I had forgotten how frogs make noises! UGH!! I hate it when I forget certain things during important events. The word 'hubbubbing' doesn't exist. I wrote it for the sake of filling in the blank. However, the root word hubbub does exists. And the answer to that question is definitely croaking.
I predict I would get like, a C5 for English because of my screwed-up Paper 1.
On Tuesday, I had Mathematics Paper 1 and Geography paper. Math paper was manageable. Scoring an A1 for that paper alone isn't a problem, I guess. Geography paper started at around 2.00pm, so I stayed in the canteen after the Math paper at around 9.00am with Junhua, Xiangmei and Jocelyn to revise on that subject. The haze was so bad that my eye was swollen, and I had irritated throat. Tetrina and Wenqin accompanied me for awhile and left. Before that, while we were studying, Tetrina saw somebody collapsed in the female changing room (or toilet) at the canteen. Tetrina ran in and saw Xiaoqing lying on the floor. Wenqin and I then ran in and helped her up. Xiaoqing was stiff everywhere. It was something like cramps or.. stroke. She couldn't move, so she began to panic and cry. Her friends and I tried to massage her legs and hands while Tetrina applied ice onto her muscles. According to Xiaoqing, it was Hypoventillation. Ms Doris Chong called the Ambulance but Xiaoqing didn't want to go to the hospital. So she rested in the General Office for awhile and she eventually took the Geography paper in the afternoon.
Xiaoqing, study and play hard at the same time. Learn to DE-stress.
Geography paper was easier as compared to the year before. I actually forgot to bring my calculator! But calculator wasn't used because Gradient/Distance/Bearing wasn't tested. Hahahahaha. If one studied for this paper, s/he should be able to do well.
Took the Physics and Chemistry Papers on Wednesday Physics paper was relatively easy, except for the last question of Paper 2. Chemistry paper was ummm, average. I am probably gonna do well for Paper 3, but not for Paper 4 because I don't know if my answers were accurate. Anyway, the Chief Examiner was such an asshole. I HATE HIM!! Every answer sheet has cover page, and there were a few boxes which question numbers were supposed to be written on. I was wondering if I should write down the question numbers I've attempted on the cover page or not (or let the marker do it him/herself), so I read the instructions. It didn't mention anything about writing down the question numbers, so I asked Mrs Poh when she was going around the rows to collect our scripts. She said we had to, so I did. All scripts had to be returned to the rest of the candidates because they did not write theirs down. The Chief Examiner was pissed because we wasted his precious time, so he yelled at us or rather, me since I was the one who asked the question first. He said, "Please read the instructions next time. You're wasting my time and your time. I'm not from this school; I'm the guest, you're the hosts. A guest doesn't wish to scold the hosts," and I couldn't remember what other crap he said because I don't give a damn, and seriously, he has really poor English. You know, I really felt maligned then. I so wanted to stand up, point my index finger at him and shout, "You are the one who did not read the instructions carefully. It didn't state whether we should or should not write down the question numbers on the cover page," and disgrace him right infront of everyone. Ugh! Big belly man. Yucks.
Oh, I got the answers for Physics and Chemistry MCQ already. 4NA students who wanna know the answers, here:

There wasn't any paper on Thursday, so I met up with Wenqin and Tetrina at Mcdonald's near our place to study for the next subject. Cheryl joined us about 2 hours later. Tetrina saw this young boy sitting outside the restaurant with his friends, and she complained that he was the one who spat saliva on her last Monday. The boy was riding a bicycle, and he was drinking either Coke or Sprite. He spat on her, apologised without sincerity and rode off just like that. Tetrina was pissed because the boy was a complete stranger to her. So, the boy is pretty unlucky. He appeared on Thursday and Tetrina wanted revenge. Her fists were shaking and her blood boiled. She took her cup of a quarter-filled coke, went out and cast it on the boy. Her coke accidentally hit on one of the boy's friend. The boy and his poor friend were puzzled, because they didn't know who Tetrina was. The friend (the boy was a wimp) came into Mcdonald's and reproached her. He sounded like he needed a fight or something. I so wanted to laugh, okay. He was like what, 10 years old? He was so SMALL-SIZED and his voice hadn't break! He had this thick rod-like stick pierced into his left ear but ahhhh, I assume it was a fake one. It will be good even if it's real, because I could pull his ear stick downwards and cut his earlobe, like Mr. Bean in one of his shows. He would probably go, "WOOOOOOO!!!!!" and cry. Hahahahahah!! He asked Tetrina in Mandarin in a very rude manner, "Why did you cast the Coke me?" So Tetrina replied, "I did not cast the Coke on you. I did it on the boy." The boy argued, "Yah lah, why did you cast it on me when you wanted to target him? You come out. We want to talk to you." And then he went out, but Tetrina stayed inside. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh my god. That kid sure COULDN'T argue. He was like, "Ya lah, then?" all along. And didn't the hell he know what ACCIDENTALLY means? These bunch of brats seriously need to use their common senses. Go to school or something. Stop hanging around void decks and wreck havoc. No life! Tetrina was really flare up. I tried to advise her on not getting into a fight with them as we are still having our N-level examination. She shouldn't get herself into deep trouble as it might ruin her future just like that. But nothing we said went into her head. Soon after, the boy, who would tell me that a multiplied by a is equal to 2a because he is stupid, came in with his two friends with a cup of Coke that was filled to the brim. The boy who spat at Tetrina wanted to cast the Coke on Tetrina, but Tetrina hit the cup down before they could. Seriously, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Are they too rich or what? They stupidly bought it just to throw the Coke at her? Then, the boy spat at Tetrina AGAIN, so Tetrina pulled his collar and both of them ended up infront of the cashier. Tetrina gave the boy a punch, and the boy returned one. I wanted to stop Tetrina, but I bet she wouldn't listen and I was afraid of getting punched too. Anyway, I wanted to attack the boy from the back, like this..
Obviously the red stickman is me. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!
..But I thought he would not feel anything.
Customers at Mcdonald's were frightened. Some even hid their children behind their backs. Tetrina's classmates were also present. The manager of the restaurant came out and threatened to call the Police. The boy and his friends ran away immediately. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH!!! Do you know what Wenqin and Cheryl saw in the Coke while I took Tetrina to the washroom? Chilli sauce and tomato sauce... and maybe the boy's urine because we saw him bringing the cup of Coke into the toilet. There were bruises on Tetrina's face when we were in the washroom. Staffs from Mcdonald's came in and asked us what exactly happened. I explained to them and the female staff was like, "That guy is not a gentleman, hor? Hit a girl.." She went to get a bag of ice for Tetrina afterwards. See, the staffs were on our sides because we/Tetrina obviously did not start this. Violence is bad.
Parents should just keep an eye on their kids and give them REAL curfew or something. Also, DO NOT SPARE THE ROD. Some parents are just so afraid of their children, which I don't know why. If you want to have children, make sure you be a GOOD parent! For heaven's sake, don't have babies for the sake of getting baby bonus (Government offers money perks to spark baby boom. The government is just being so selfish. So what is we have low population? At least we get to breathe more fresher air. Foreign talent rock lah, always. HAHAHAHAHA!! Kidding). Learn to communicate and spend time with your children because children tend to be led astray easily nowadays. I am really glad to have parents who are semi-controlling. Since young, I am not allowed to get out of the house without a valid reason. I have to return home before 6.00pm even if I have a very important project to do. Of course, I ever felt that they were being ridiculous, but I got to understand that what they did was for my own good as I grow up. I NEVER run away from home because frankly speaking, I find this idea stupid. Parents will always be winners. Think about it. If you were to run away from home, who is gonna support you forever? Are you going to be a pimp or a prostitute to make ends meet? Your friends do not have the ability to support you FOREVER. In fact, they would find you a nuisance even if they are your best friends. You would eventually return home after you run out of money, and ha! You lose. Kids...
Okay, back to the topic.
On Friday, we had Mathematics Paper 2 at 2.30pm. I went to school at around 12.30pm because I wanted to ask Ms Koh some Math-related questions. I went there, and she was like, surrounded by her students. UGH!! So I sat with Cheryl and Xiaoqing and waited until she came over.
Mathematic Paper 2 was like, TOUGH! I nearly died doing it. They made Cumulative Frequency Graph a compulsory question! What the hell, it really wasted most of my time drawing the graph so neatly and accurately. And I actually forgot the formula for the volume of a Prism. Instead of writing the cross sectional area multiplied by the length, I wrote half multiplied by the cross sectional area multiplied by HEIGHT! WALAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The transformation question was rather stupid too, because I forgot what the coordinates should be when the diagram rotates in an anti-clockwise direction. As for Section Two, I picked the last question, of course, because I love to prove similar diagrams. There was one question that confused me. Good effort! Hahahaha. Okay, it's the wavelength question, I think. The one on direct proportional. The wavelength, for example, of Perfect 10 (no more already, lah!!) is 987mHz (forgot what the unit is) and the wavelength of Gold is 90.5mHz! In real life, Perfect 10 radio station is commonly known as 98.7FM whereas Gold radio station is 90.5FM! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! That's how I got mixed up. Anyway, for this paper alone, I think I am gonna lose like 12 marks. Curse the setter for setting a paper that is way tougher than the previous years. What I did on Mathematics Five-Year-Series book wasn't tested, AT ALL. They better do the same thing next year. Bye A1.
As for yesterday, I had my FINAL N-level paper, which was Principles of Account Papers 1 and 2. Paper 1 was rather alright, because I knew how to do it. My whole class is gonna flunk Paper 2, because most of the questions we saw were UNFAMILIAR to us!! Mrs Tai taught us NOTHING about those questions before!! There were many theory questions which I was unsure of. Partnership was made the compulsory question and I didn't know how to do the adjustments! WHY PARTNERSHIP??? WHY WASN'T SOLE TRADER TESTED?!?! Why do we ALWAYS have to share the same fate as the 2004 batch? I realized babies who are born in even (E.g. 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000) years are most likely to get a tough paper while odd babies (E.g. 1991, 1993 etc.) get the easiest paper. STOP THIS STUPID TREND, MAN!!
I am gonna get like 7 or 8 points for N-level.
After the paper, we screamed. Actually, not really. we just jumped for joy! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! Before Wenqin and I headed to Westmall to catch a movie, Wenqin had to stay in school for awhile with her classmates to discuss what they would perform on Prom Day. Jialing was hilarious with her broken English. Not to humiliate or tease her, but REALLY, she was really funny. Hahahahahaha!! Jialing, the organizer or the planner, wanted to meet the class on Thursday somewhere other than the school. She thought of a place but she had forgotten what the place is called. So she explained, "You know the place? The malay wedding and the place people die (funeral) one? That place!" Singaporeans should know where she was referring to. Yes, indeed. The void deck.
We went to Westmall and watched World Trade Centre!!
Okay, basically, World Trade Centre is the twin towers that collapsed on 9/11/2006. You know the story. The movie was based on TRUE story. So yeah, every single thing you see on the movie really happened. In the movie, the main characters were two Port Authory Police Officers named Will and John (real names). Both were trapped under the rubble of the collapse World Trade Centre. The other police officers that went into the building with them were also trapped but they died shortly after. Will was the first one to be rescued, and John was recued the next day when he nearly died. They were the 18th and the 19th people out of the 20 survivors to be rescued alive. More than a thousand people died in the towers.
The funniest part of the movie is when Will saw Jesus with a bottle of water. He was thirsty.
I love the movie, man. It's so touching and real. This movie gave me a better understanding of 9/11 because you know, I don't read the newspaper or watch the news. And the actors and actresses acted really well.
So I rate this movie: /5.
Go watch the movie! It's definitely worth the money. Oh, the movie is approximately two hours long, so pee before you enter the cinema.
Alright, before I end off this entry (LONG ENTRY!), here's the answer to the riddle.
Hasta La Vista!
