Looks good? actually, as mentioned by 'some' already promoted, many others got better scores then me. Whom those 'some' know. Amusing. i dun really care.


Maybe i should give a brief description of what happened. Choir member A asked my grades. I told her. She then asked choir member B what she thought my grades would be. choir member B then sneered that i would never reveal my marks. i think choir member A tried to defend me and told him my marks. could see choir member B tense up. bad mistake on choir member A's part... but she meant no harm. I muttered to her that.

Choir member C who happened to be there then said that my grades were not that good as" i know people who scored better than u". Then choir member B commented" you should not go around telling your marks when people are having problems being promoted". i kept silent.

I would here like to bring up three points about the general student population clearly shown here.

One, there is a set of moral rules that all people who are 'in' must abide by, so as not to upset people around them. As shown by Choir Member B's statments, these rules contradict themselves at several points. So i decided to stick to the truth about my grades when asked. Of coz, then people who want to critise me will pick up whichever rule i went against.

Two, I assume Choir member B assumed i had told Choir Member A about my grades without her asking. This whole assumption thing. Of course: Assuming things leads to misunderstandings, and clarifying them will go against point number one. All it takes ... is one wrong assumption, and everything may be undone.

Three, Our dependance on frens: showed by choir member C. someone i know did this. a fren helped me. Yes . Interdependace allows the team to reach greater heights. But there will come a time when we have to depend on ourselves.


looking at point 2 and 3, its not hard to understand why we do badly during exams. Stripped of our friends, assuming certain wrong concepts..... we are bound to fail something.

So don't use point one against those who do 'well'.

must start working on my econs and Gp... both subject tutors are disappointed.

just a note though. Thank you choir member A. your the only one who bothered to be nice when you found out my results, next to lenin

both more stressed and relaxed,

someday i will update my blog template. someday

they say that the future is uncertain. It is not the future that is uncertain, it is the people who shape it that are uncertain. If you believe in something go for it.....

uncertain efforts lead to uncertain results

well, it has been a week.

I never thought a week would past so utterly fast and utterly tiring. Had choir day in day out... pfft.

Now then, i know i don't really belong in AJ, but that does nto stop me from trying to be a part.

Well, next week the applications for Orientation Group Leaders [OGLs] will be opened. I hope to join... but think my lack of tact will count heavily against me.

Ah well, must go back to doing some last minute editting of my PW WP now.

every day i meet people who dislike others for being who they are. If you ever ever repressed your personality, you would understand that there's no point trying to please anyone by being someoneelse. Hope you understand.

with dreams,

its over

wisdom is knowledge plus self-confidence minus ego.

Well, this is one moment i would like to record down.

1045am, 5 oct. the End of chem promo paper.

YES, i know i still have one more paper after this, but i really dun want to remember my chinese is horrible.

quick recap in reverse chrono.

chem paper was easier than expected, but still horribly difficult without looking the part. people staggering out of the exam hall. tired after 4 days of exam.

maths paper was described to us by our tutors as a an easy paper. i could not detect the scasism.....
if any. Oh the horror.... i guess they intended to kill us, really bad.

econs paper, as usual we rushed through and did not have time to finish even that. alas.

GP and bio paper same day. the Gp i think alot of those who did essay question 4 got it wrong.... including me. well... at least the compre was ok. For the poor bio paper, again the paper was meant to kill us by looking really hard, but was comparably easier then it looked... but still hard.


Yup thats it for those papers, nothing inspirational to say.


now for the rest of the time..... hmm.... For project work..... its kinda funny looking back at sec sch PW. For in JC PW, we're required to do more than discuss. we have to argue out our points, sometimes backing down, sometimes standing up for what we think. If i was my old self, i dun think i would have given my group members a chance to contribute. thankfully i did let them help ourselves... so much that i think i owe alot to them....
Hmm, considering that i didn't really want to work with them to begin with...... yea. But i dun think they would want to work with me now.

Ah well, must try pass my chinese twice more.... than i can throw it away............

with regards,
cisvol
