Post-Prelims

Hello,

I'm back again (!)

Prelims just ended yesterday. (YAY!)

I don't really feel very much relieved or anything of that sort, probably coz A levels is just a short few weeks away. (inserts a tired look)

Yesterday after Prelims, went to Simpang Bedok with Amanda to try the fishball noodle. Hmm okay la, not too bad, but I think the other stall tasted better (coz the chilli was damn good) although the portion at the other stall is really quite small.. :/ (hahah yes Amanda I know you are reading this!)

After the food, I went to her house for like 4 hours or so of TV, then got home, showered and left for Tampines to catch a movie called Ilo Ilo (爸妈不在家) & dinner. I thought the movie was enjoyable; I would give it a 7.5-8/10, with 10 being the best. It's the first Singapore movie that won an award at the Cannes Film Festival (awww Singapore pride). The movie was really pretty relevant to me, 'coz my family hires maids and all. Some scenes were funny. The family conflicts seen were also something close to the heart. The last scene when the maid Terry left, I actually kind of shed a few tears 'coz it somehow reminded me the passing of Yati, just that hers was unexpected. The scene where the boy (Jiale) snipped the maid's hair off with the scissors - it somehow resonated within me. I could really feel the sadness as he gripped onto the snipped hair firmly, reluctant for her to go but knowing that she has to..

Okay so before I start getting emotional and stuff, overall the movie was quite nice I think. But it's not the type of movie that would interest everyone and probably the pace or storyline is rather slow and boring for some.. It really depends on yourself. I can't say for sure. So go catch it if you'd like! (:

Anyway I also had a super shiok sleep yesterday/today. Slept at 1.30 am and woke up at 12.20 pm ... :D

Then watched "The English Teacher". Haha not bad, quite funny. Motivates me to become a teacher myself to a certain extent. Haha. :)

Some songs in the movie were quite nice, such as these:

haha most of these are like really old songs... but they sound pretty good imo. Yes, I like oldies. :)











Then met a friend nearby the house - for once without studying..

Anyway, I thought I should probably write a bit about Prelims.

It wasn't particularly great. But I felt a bit more confident than my previous exams (I think). Really hoping to see an improvement in all my grades :( Although I am indeed worried for Economics (and GP to some extent).

Like what Ivan always says "hope for the best". And yes, that's what I'm going to do.

Shall start doing some work tonight and the weekends before lessons officially start on Monday..

Bye! (:
