A levels ended yesterday, and my TYS-es are gone by today.

Thanks to peeps who had given me the info, I managed to sell my 4 TYS-es at $1.50 each at Bras Basah!!! Wow, I didn’t know I can actually reclaim 6 bucks from those TYSes.. but the ting is, they’re very clean la, so perhaps that explains the ease of selling them. This is so much better than merely stuffing them into the storeroom or even dropping them at recycle bins, cos im actually indirectly helping those in need of these 2^nd-hand books.. yup..so in a way, its a good deed done too..

Im juz 6 days away from total freedom, although currently I feel as free as many others too.. I really don’t have the mood to study for S papers anymore la.. Its NOT as if I can get distinction juz by mugging the next 2 or 3 days away?? Hohoho. But I do hope to get Merits la.. The 2 un-graded S papers during my prelims really looked ugly… hMm… I’ll try I’ll try…

I’ve written down my post-‘A’-levels plans… perhaps I’ll post them here sometime soon…

‘A’ levels core papers had ended!!!!!!

And so, 11 of us went for a mini celebration today.. Went shopping at bugis, ate at V8 and took valuable neoprints for the first time in TJ uniform… Ironically, most of us would be wearing the TJ uniform the last time today… And come to think of it, it has been such a long long time since we took neoprints.. the last time was still during the 1^st 3 months honeymoon period.. I never expected time to pass so quickly…we have now completed our JC education, graduated from it, and had even done A levels.. 2 years already, it just seems like days ago..

As what most adults feel, time seems to be passing faster and faster when u get older and older. Actually, come to tink of it, ‘young’ and ‘youth’ usually only associate with ppl 25 years and below…cos when u reach the age of 26, u’re actually nearing the age to start a family.. and once u’re 30, you’re middle-aged…

Im now 18. which means to say I have only around 7 years of youth.. I juz hope time dun pass too quickly.. 2 years had just flown without me really noticing it.. I still have so many things to try…things that you can’t do when u r much older.. and if you dun try them, within the next 7 years, u’ll gonna regret for life. Basically that’s what I tink..

Treasure youth when u can. Cherish time well. When its gone, its no use lamenting why it left, without you.

today went for a pool session, after a failed attempt to mug for chem paper 1 effectively... but i doubt anyone has the mood now to mug ba.. so enjoy abit oso nevermind...

i realised that actually throughout these 2 years, i've spent alot of unnecessary money on past-year papers.. Perhaps they ARE necessary la, but just that i didnt make any use of them.. cos before any major exams, (a total of 6 in all), i'd buy a stack of past-year papers, so that i can practice on them before facing the real challenge.. BUT, apart from the prelims this year, i DIDNT touch the rest of the other papers at all lor. I tink its really a great waste la.. To show the extent of it, I measured the height of the stack of NICE and CLEAN past-year papers, and it turned out to be approximately 9 cm high..gosh la, how much had I wasted on these, considering each page costs 3cents..

and not only that la, that time I oso bought the econs text, which is still totally new. That’s a $40 investment that turned out to have no multiplier effect, cos it didn’t help me in econs in any single way. But its not the fault of the book, nor the fault of LinaLow, who persuaded us to buy it. And on second thoughts, I cant blame myself too, for being always so lazy and for leaving the book standing lonely in the shelf, cos I really had no time!!

Yup, and there are the TYS for all the subjects.. My TYS-es are virtually new, and one can hardly see any signs of it being used before.. In fact, I cant be bothered abt them.. if not for tutors’ occasionally calls for their use, they wouldn’t bear my thumbprints at all.. ok im exaggerating.

Hai, so much money spent, all wasted. And now, now that A levels is ending, what am I gonna do to these? THROW? Of cos not…. SELL? I doubt anyone’s interested… maybe RECYCLE lor.. But really, it’s a heartache la, imagine how much I can do with the money…..argh.

just did a simple colorgenics test..

(i got the link from rebecca's blog, then was quite curious, cos she said it was rather accurate.. so wanted to try too)

and i realised mine was quite accurate too.. as what the website says, an amazingly 87% of the ppl who did the test felt it was accurate..

(i added it to my links already)
----------------------------------
so here's my report:

You are constantly hoping that your good fellowship and attitude and your 'love for your fellow man (or women)' will give you peace of mind. You need people - people around you to care for you and to show you that they care. It is this hope that keeps you going, the hope that makes you the type of person that indeed you are. Your own need for approval seemingly makes you always ready to help others and in exchange you seek love, warmth and understanding. You will always listen to others and you are open to new ideas which hopefully will prove fruitful and interesting.

You are finding the present situation extremely demanding and you're having difficulty coping with it. A great deal of strain is involved and you would really like everyone and everything to leave you alone for a while, just so that you can put everything into perspective.

Loneliness is soul destroying and at this time you feel lost and lonely, perhaps it is because you feel so frustrated that you are prepared to go out of your way to become emotionally involved with someone who could accept you for what you are. You are egocentric, antagonistic and quick to take offence, although it must be said, you can control your pent-up up emotion and thus avoid open conflict.

You are feeling trapped by the situation as it stands at this time and what is more, you feel powerless to remedy it. You are stressful, angry and disgruntled. You feel that everything that you try to do to change the situation is thwarted and your hopes and aspirations all seem to be receding into the ever distant future. You have reached the state where you now doubt whether your dreams will ever be achieved and this is not only causing mental stress but heartache. You need to get away from it all - you need to have time to think, to recuperate, to be able to make your own decisions.

You are anxious about all the limitations to which you are subjected to at this time. You feel that you are not valued for what or who you are. You need OUT. So why procrastinate any longer - MOVE!

Im in holiday mood!!!!!

Though there are 3 more papers, but there's only 1 chem mcq paper left for the core A level syllabus, so can start to relax liao!

And, over the past few days, i had been hearing some songs on 933, which really captured my feelings.. Let me just list 3..

(pls change encoding to uni-code to read the chinese lyrics)

By JJLin: "我不满的地方--读读读读读到书都想吐, 好想哭!! 怕怕怕怕怕老是背书, 好白痴!! 你你你你你只会说你要第一, 我就快要发羊癫疯!!!!!!!! 不是每个人都会读书会读书!!! 不厉害读书也不一定就会输!!!!!!"

By FishLeong: "考坏一次不是末日, 未来还有很长的路!"

By Stef Sun, and this song captures the ideal life which is too contrary to mine in the past 3 weeks..
"我们晚上不睡觉, 白天在床上思考....小狗在屋里奔跑, 度过完美的一天!!!"
