13

13 Days. 13!!!!! It's in less than 2 weeks time! By this Saturday, it'll be down to single digit numbers. Next monday will be chairing...which means it's the final 7 days before. Then the next thing will be IT. ESS PEE AMM. I feel unprepared. VERY. VERY.

Goal for the week : finish re-studying syllabus.
Objective : To be prepared for SPM.

Time seems to be going faster than usual. And SPM takers seem to be crazier than usual.
A proven hypothesis : The closer we get to SPM, the crazier we all become.
Just this morning, Jas and i were singing nursery rhymes and kindy songs. The smarty skirt who got 1st in class forgot all her nursery rhymes and songs. Even Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. =P Tsk tsk.

On the other hand, there are 8 students from class who got straight A's (yeah, we counted). =) Hope that's a good sign. Plus those from arts stream should be about 10 people who got straight A's lo.
summary of my trial results :
BM - 82
Eng - 93
Maths - 99
Add Maths - 84
Physics - 88
Chemistry - 84
Biology - 86
Moral - 93
Sejarah - 90
Accounts - 90
EST - 92

You can tell i'm happy. =)

School also seems to be pretty hyped up about the writers who got shortlisted for the MPH essay. The notice asking students to vote is just about everywhere! Which is pretty good. =) Jas will have more chances of winning. Go jas!!! *waves pom poms* XD

The pc got a facelift! And some hardware transplants.

It's now windows vista. =) can do pretty neat stuff like a mac can.

Going to waste some more time online before hitting the bed..I mean books.
Toodles.

Vote!

No negative comments about the magazine so far. Or maybe just not when I’m around to hear them. Haha..

Why only got one autograph page ah?

This year got not enough money to print another autograph page issit?

Those were the only comments I’ve heard so far.
Got extra advert at the very last minute ma, so have to minus off the extra autograph page lo.

On to the next topic. Jas got short listed for this year’s MPH Search for Young Writer’s Essay Competition. Vote for her!!!! Go. Vote. Now. I mean NOW! Do it. Go here. (though it’s a bit mah fan. They need you to sign up) At the same time, you could vote for Sue Rene, Yam Su Lin and Wei Ling too. Wait, I think the girl Pei Sin is from our school too. Cool, our school boasts so many excellent writers. Aiseh. Bangga bangga. Wait, you only get 3 votes. Caca.t

The Unveiling

So. Magazines arrived, checked, packaged and distributed(yes, just like the Golgi apparatus). Turned out pretty good, if i dare say so myself. We were mentally prepared(sort of)! For there's bound to be criticism recieved.

Why all the same background wan...

Why so little colour only wan?

Yer...so ugly.

So boring la this year's magazine.

Haha.
Though we did eventually come across some minor mistakes while checking. Ah well, we've done the best we could. And boy, am i proud of it! We actually did it! =)

Ta-dah!

Checking was a breeze this year. Only about 1/20 of the magazines were faulty. Makes things so much easier. That and we ran away towards then end. AHAHAHA. So, we're officially retired ed boarders. I think.
The end of ed board journey. Finito. Fine. Tamat. Wohoooo!

Then came the autographing session. XD Like celebrities minus the paparazzi and the bling. Add maths teacher was talking about how preoccupied we were and how nobody is doing her add maths papers. Sorry!! It is our last year after all. We're collecting memories to be stored for years to come.

No doubt the autographing will continue for a few more days.

Oh, we got our chemistry paper 2. Wasn't that bad. Some careless mistakes and stuff. Most importantly, can get the final A1 i'm aiming for. As long as she gives me >18 marks for coursework. *begs*

Nap time is calling.
~End of post~

Update 2

Kimi clinched the driver's championship for the 2007 season(finally, after 2 years as runner-up). WOHOOOOO! That and Ferrari is also the winner of the constructor's championship. Double WOHOOOOO! It really goes to show that nothing is impossible. Congratulations Ferrari and Kimi!! Massa too. For his loyal support to the team. =)

Went to Lynn's house yesterday to see her new doggie, Don. He is the epitome of cuteness! So small sized and yet so inquisitive in nature. Hyperactive too. Not too sure if Cutey was a tad bit jealous. She sat poised on the couch with a rather regal air(typical cat fashion), looking at Lynn, her sister and me showering Don with attention. Eyes never flinching, except the moment when the curtains flapped in the wind. Will be going to visit Don again when he's grown a bit more. Probably after the much dreaded ESS PEE AMM.

*sigh*

Speaking of which, we've got all our results back cept Chemistry. So far so good. =) Hope Chemistry wil also turn out okay. A1 A1 A1! All the teachers gave us full marks for coursework. They understand how important it is for us. Moga-moga chemistry teacher will be considerate a bit and give us 20 coursework marks. Forecast results ok!! Ah well, the truth will be revealed tomorrow....

I shall not merungut about how big the gap is between my total and that of Denise/Jas/Mei/Ching Wen/Aimy. I am happy that i've gotten all A1s so far. =) A big thank you to the one who watches over everythign from above and who has been my guide.

Another thing to look forward to tomorrow is the school mag. Despite the fact that we have to check about say...700 copies, it doesn't dampen my excitement of actually seeing our hard work in print. Aimy's artwork will be on the cover! Just imgaine...your work printed on the cover of each and every copy. I'm feeling proud on her behalf. Dunno how she feels about it. XD I know i know, we've seen each page a gazillion times already. But still, our usaha ma.

All those hours slaving over it in the hot, stuffy AVA room (hah, i can freely say it here since i'm not allowed to mention it in the magazine. XD It really IS hot, stuffy and suffocating). Printing and reprinting. Checking and rechecking. Editing again and again. Being annoyed, pek chek, geram. Some kinda experience huh? Goes to show that we're never getting ourselves invovled in being part of the publishing industry anytime in the near future. Haha..

Hahahaha.

PS-deperately want to know the name of the singaporean movie with Allan Wu in it. It's been driving me and Denise locco the whole morning. Some help??

Stop

Must. Stop. Thinking. Of. Post SPM activities.

What i did THIS raya

I'm updating now, Jas. Spent the first 4 days of the raya break doing absolutely nothing...unless you count couch potato-ing, shopping with mom, and sleeping something. Oh wait, i went for driving lesson (found out that the instructor shares a similar date of birth as foo tong and i. So that makes 3 of us). So i did do something berfaedah afterall! Haha...

A paragraph will be dedicated to Lynn's dog, Junior, although it was only for a day...Was excited at the prospect of seeing her when Lynn told me. But later in the evening i found out they had to give Junior back cause she has a hole in her heart. I didn't know dogs can have that condition too. Sad thing is, there's no cure and Junior can't live for very long. Poor little thing.. I didn't even get to meet her. Sad sad. To be brought out into this world and then leave when you're just getting used to it. =(
But I know Lynn's looking forward to getting another dog. Cutey will have a playmate. Haha.

Had a resolution to start the intense studying today. HAD. Instead, went grocery shopping. It was weird. Had another near fainting experience like the one in the school hall a few years back. I dunno what happened...felt extremely weak suddenly. Couldn't breathe properly. Couldn't walk. Then i couldn't see properly. The lights were really bright. The coloured bits were blurry and spotted. It felt like everything had been photoshop-ed. All that coupled with a bad dose of cramps. I think mum was kinda shocked to see me so pale and weak. Anyway, all better now. =) Else i wouldn't be typing happily now.

Okay, end of update. I'll be studying tonight. I will!! (I hope)
Toodles.

Random bits and pieces

Latest update on trial results :

BM-82
Maths-99 (wheee! I love maths)
Add maths-84 (Could've done much better if not for panic attacks and careless mistakes)
English- 93
Sejarah-90
Accounts-90

Guess the week long raya holidays are meant for pia-ing. Hopefully that's what i'll be doing. Though it's kinda sad, pitiful and boring to study non-stop everyday.

The magazine really is coming on the 27th. Oh well, no skipping school that Saturday. To fellow schoolmates reading this,come to school!!!!! Unless you want to get it even later (considering 27th is already cukup late)....

Note to Ames: you've got a good quality red pen. The scribbles of 'blood red' and your portrayal of shit couldn't come off no matter how hard i scrubbed. XD
