I have absolutely no self-control. What the hell am I doing online? Huh. Just wasted about an hour playing Sonic the Hedgehog on Gameboy Advance. Ahh, I love Sonic. Been playing him since I was a kid, on my older cousin’s Sega. Haha. He’s always angry with us little kids for fiddling around with his Sega. But blah. ^.^;
I woke up at like, 11am. Made me feel horrible. I swear to never wake up that late again. I feel like doing NOTHING. I don’t feel like studying. I’ve “rested” enough already. I mean, I haven’t been doing anything for the past... four days? Or five. Oh heck, the past week. I have no idea how I’m going to score my A1s like this. I’m not even working at all. I have no motivation. ARGH yes. Six points. Six points. That’s a motivation. But still. It’s not enough.
The lure of procrastination is faaar too strong.
Oh, and I changed my screen resolution to 1024 x 768. I tell you, I’m going blind. I changed it because I needed my text to be bigger, so I can see. Haha. And even on this resolution, I still set text to “Largest”. I think I’m really really going blind. Tsk.

I know everyone doesn’t want to hear this. I know everyone will read this and want to strangle me or stab me or something. But I’m going to say it anyway, because it’s worth it: I got 8 points for Prelims! That’s before bonus deduction. Yup.
I was a bit disappointed because I didn’t get an A1 in both Maths. Got an A1 in A Maths but an A2 in E Maths. The stupid E Maths Paper I pulled my marks DOWN. UGH. And I got an A2 AGAIN in Chinese. Blah. My Chinese just sucks. I was quite proud for my A Maths marks. I had a 63/80 for Paper I and a 78/80 for Paper II. But here I will admit that the A Maths paper was easy and many people in the level scored distinctions. Yeah, that kind of makes my achievement less... interesting? I dunno. Less shiny. Haha.
Where can I go with eight points? I’m throwing ACJC out of the window now, hopefully. I don’t want to go there, for reasons already mentioned a few posts below. I think I’ll go to NJC, if my points allow it. I’m rather afraid to go to HCJC because of all the super brainy people there. There’s going to be so much pressure.
I think I work better under less pressure. I opted for the EM1 stream in P4, but was put in a pure, none-op EM1 class in P5. Everyone was scoring really high, and I was the lousiest student in class, scoring 60s and 70s and failing my Higher Chinese really badly. I didn’t do that great in the PSLE either– got a 226, which was really sucky. I must thank God or whatever entity that holds my life in his hands that I got back to SNGS. Yup. Because of my sucky mark, I was put in an average class in Sec 1. I didn’t shine in Sec 1, was a normal, failing test kid. In Sec 2 I began to buck up, but not enough to be streamed into pure Science or anything. Ended up in the most awesome double Science class in the whole world, 4D. I must say our class rocks. It’s indisputable. Teachers love us (haha, teacher’s pet class), and we love ourselves too (that sounds SOOO ego).
I’m going off on a different tangent. Sorry. What I meant to say is, in primary school, I was under a lot of pressure (really?) to do well because my classmates were all scoring really high. Oh, and I have to mention, 90% of my former P6 classmates are like, in triple-Science or Special stream or in other top schools. Yeah. Anyway, when I went to secondary school, I wasn’t in a top class or anything. In fact I was in one of the three out of eleven express classes in the school. So you know, bottom of the low. Haha.
I’m really long-winded. Sorry. So yeah, I’ve proven that I do better under less stress, and NJC gives me the impression that it is perhaps (marginally?) less stressful than HCJC will be. So I’ll go to NJC if they’ll take me. Science faculty, of course. Nevernevernever doing humanities. I’ll flunk. I dunno. I just prefer Maths/Science. See the score tally: Maths/Science: 3 A1s, 1 A2; Humanities: 2 A2s. Yeah. You get the point.
Okay, have you finished throwing rotten eggs and tomatoes and fish entrails at me? Good, because I’m going to take a bath now.

Trying my best not to seem too proud or arrogant or anything, but I got an A1 in Chemistry. And a surprising A2 in both Literature and Combined Humanities. A pleasant surprise. I didn’t expect to score at all in my humanities subjects. Hmm, maybe I don’t hate Literature that much after all. Still have two Maths papers to go, and one Chinese paper... ahh. I hope I get 6 points? The best I can go is 5 points, if I get an A1 in both Maths, or one A1 in Maths and an A1 in Chinese. Yup. FIVE POINTS. I’ve never dreamed.
But it’s kind of scary. I feel like I’m walking on a tightrope right now. I might have reached the end of it, but I’ve got to walk back again. This time, however, I have no idea if I will fall or not. Succeeding once might not mean I will succeed again. I might just fall off the second time and lose everything in the process.
National Geographic came today! And if you have in your hands the October issue, turn to page 72 NOWNOWNOWNOW because it’s got ARCTIC FOXES in it! AHHHHHHH! CUTE. Wayyy too cute. ^.^

Okay, it’s Wednesday. Have got back our English and Physics paper. I got an A1 for both, and yes I’m happy. And I have a guaranteed A2 at most for Chinese, if I’m going to use it. Plus 2 bonus points from CCA. Yup. That’s the L1R5 tally so far. I can only hope that I do well for Chemistry and both my Maths. I can toss Humanities out of the window. *buries head in hands* I plan to take double Science and double Maths combination in JC anyway.
*sigh* I think I might end up in ACJC. Not that I really want to go there. I’m going to stick out like a sore thumb and HAVE NO FRIENDS. It’s going to be Sec 1 all over again. But TEN BILLION TIMES WORSE. I don’t want to go to ACJC. But it’s near and it’s a relatively good school. I guess the only comforting thought is that JC education only lasts for two years, so I’ll only suffer for 730 days of my life. Yeah. That’s all.
Oh yes, one more thing, gotta say it’s Dawn’s bday tomorrow, so send all your fuzzy wishes there. Yay. Fancy having your birthday on the day you get back all the horrible papers (i.e. humanities)... hope she gets a fantastic bday present (A1!), haha.

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Dun dun dun dun...
We’re starting with English paper first. Argh, why must they draw out this torture over four days... can’t they just give our results in one go? Then go through the papers later? Arrggghhh.
VJC came today. Hmm, I don’t know if I wanna go VJ. Maybe for their choir. But it’s SO SO SO far. They have a hostel though. Dunno if I can stay there. But aiya. If I can get into VJ, might as well go HC. Hmm.
Blah. Also have tuition tomorrow. 2 hours at Tiong Bahru. Haha. Went on Sunday and couldn’t find the place. Was confused at first, then remembered that they moved a few doors down to a bigger unit. So if you were watching me, you would have seen a very confused girl walking up and down the hallway. LOL. The new centre is much much bigger than the old cramped one. Problem is, some wacky designer fitted mirrors along the corridor of the classes... haha. And you get a sense of disorientation because of it. Even my tuition teacher said he almost walked into the mirror instead. LOL. ^.^

Went to the library today. Dad offered to take me to Pizza Hut! Yay. Was happy. Was also a glutton. Borrowed three more books.
To tell the truth, I’m dragging myself through Look to Windward. But I think back to The Player of Games and I sluggishly continue. When I first started with TPOG, I was bored too, but eventually it got so interesting I couldn’t put it down. I hope it is the same for LTW. Or maybe it’s on too high a level for one such as me (with a decidedly low level of intellect) to appreciate.
Right now am indulging myself. Brought down a pile of CDs and hooked up my discman earphones to my ‘puter. Ha. Silent quality music. Have to do so ’cause my dad’s asleep and I have no intention of waking him up.
Oh yes, my mum went up to Genting with Grandma. She’ll be back Monday morn I think.
Tomorrow is going to be so blah. Morning have stupid Physics tuition. Have already complained about it a billion times. I don’t know why I go, seriously. I should have stopped. Have Chemistry tomorrow afternoon too.
Next week will be a rather nerve-wracking week. Tuesday to Friday we get back our preliminary results. Oh God.

Yes, new layout! I hope no-one is annoyed by the splash page. >.< If you all hate it, I’ll take it down, although I like it myself. Haha.
Besides the new layout, Have updated my favourite literature page. Added some books and changed the horrendously immature commentary. I cringed while reading the old one. The new one is so much better, and describes how I feel in more depth.
Oh yes, joined a few fanlistings. Yay!
