Give me a man with a little fight in him, a man who calls me on my bullshit. (But who also kind of likes my bullshit.)

Promo Results
Hello !
Haven't been blogging as frequently as I wished to due to PW.
School hours are pretty enjoyable now, as we only have Chinese lessons and PW (which is a self-dismiss thing too). Having said that, school hours are still not short as I still continue to stay in school until as late as 5 or 6pm tocomplete do PW (Yeah, 'complete' is not a word which you can easily use for PW).
Okay, anyway back to the purpose of this post, which is about my Promo results, here it is:
GP - D
Chinese - A
Physics - C
Chemistry - C
Maths - S
Economics - C
It's definitely an improvement from MYE, with the exception of Maths. Sad, but expected after I attempted the paper.. Gotta work on my Maths now! Part of failing Maths had to do with the difficulty of the paper, while the other part would be due to my own carelessness (and complacency to some extent) too. Generally, I am quite satisfied with my results, mainly because I have improved from MYE. But obviously, there is still room for great improvement, and I have to really work harder and study smarter. :/

Anyway, just a short rant:
I am really starting to dislike R now, mainly because of his/her blur-ness. I really cannot take it. And what makes it worse is that R argues back whenever I tell R off or correct R. It gets really frustrating and irritating. I try to control myself, but sometimes it's just.. ARGH. R does not contribute much and submitslow poor quality work that requires tons of editing that I might as well do it on my own. And I am starting to think that R is acting blur, based on the way that R behaves and all, but I have no way of affirming the fact. I seriously think that R is not dumb at all lor. And speaking of 'dumb', R even typed the title wrongly and wrote it as 'Young Not Dumb'. What the shyt man. Does R thinks that this is about some bimbos or something. Zzz.
I am starting to think that the others are improving and getting better except for R. And I honestly think that nothing would change by the end of this journey. Sigh. Leechers are just like that. :( You can't get rid of them, and in my case, it's never.

By the way, I just finished 'Nineteen Minutes' by Jodi Picoult. My first book from Jodi Picoult. Nice story, but I thought that it was just a little long and draggy, judging by the time that I took to read the book (I think I read it at the average speed that I usually take to read other books). But it's a worthy read about bullying which led to murder. Although the storyline is something which I think is less common in Singapore, because we don't have high schools like the kind described in the book, I still find the story rather relatable to my own life, as in the perspectives and thoughts of the characters. :)

I am starting to think that I speak a little fast, judging from the fact that I take about 3 minutes to finish my OP presentation. I have got to learn to speak a tad slower, so that the assessors have time to understand and digest the things that I am saying. Plus, I am honestly a little afraid of OP as I know that I am not an eloquent speaker, so presenting is not really my thing. But for PW, I have to fake it and look confident, at least in front of the assessors. WR Submission is due shortly.. Haiz.

'A' Level Chinese is around the corner. Copying from my Facebook status “惨了,还没准备‘A’水准华文考试。。” Yeah I have not prepared for it yet.. :( Have to learn to better manage my time !!!
Hmm, don't think I have anything else to post.. oh yeah, btw, I'm recently a fan of Jason Chen. Hahahaha.
Okay, that's all folks.
Bye! :D

End of Promos
This pretty much describes how I feel right now.
But in a few days' time, it could become...
Yeah.
Promos have ended.
Relieved that it's over. But wait till the results arrive - that's when you know it's really over.
My simple wish is to pass all my subjects and get promoted. Hopefully I can manage that.
So right now, I've been reading. Just finished 'Some Girls Are', by Courtney Summers. Well, one thing I have to say is that the 'f' word is very frequently used in the book. But apart from that, I think the storyline is rather captivating. :) Now, I'm going to read another book entitled, 'And This Is True', by Emily Mackie. This book was bought actually because of its interesting title. Quite an impulsive buy actually. Haha. :D Also borrowed other books from the National Library too. :)
Oh yah, as my birthday was near Promos, my birthday this year was not really like big or something. As in I also wasn't really in the mood for it. But still, a big THANK YOU goes out to everyone who wished or celebrated with me on my birthday! Thanks for making my day on 18th September! :D
Just yesterday, Amanda and I were supposed to go to NSRCC to gym via cycling there. Sadly, it rained, so we decided to take the shuttle bus there. But there was some miscommunication on my side which led us to miss the shuttle bus. Hence, we wanted to go to ITE Staff Club. But we got lost on bus 35. So after an entire misadventure, we finally returned to Tanah Merah Station and took the next shuttle bus to NSRCC an hour later. Felt kinda stupid, but fun. Hehe. :D
Today went to do a Pilot Study for my PW. Collected unwanted excess food from residents in Pasir Ris. An enriching experience like the time I collected recyclables from residents at Kindness Week, a CIP event. :)
Oh yeah. Met my lovely PRSS friends, i.e. Amanda (again, hahaha) and Lee Boon, not long ago after Promos. Had a wonderful time as always. Chatted and ranted for most of the time. Always glad to have them!
:D
Anyway, 最近的一些感想:
有些人对你说的话,你不能每一句都相信,因为我们有时就是会傻傻分不清楚到底哪一句是真是假,尤其是甜言蜜语。有时候,我真的很想知道,你到底想干什么,可是之后又在问自己,问了又有何处,倒不如不问算了。我们的关系一直不断地疏远,我真的感到非常遗憾、难过,真的很想知道你有没有这种感觉。对我来说,你是我的精神支柱,在多数时候,一个能够让我感到快乐的人,但想了想,我觉得自己一直以来好像是自己胡思乱想,一厢情愿的。你真的让我感到很迷惑。我猜想,我心里的这个矛盾应该永远都解不开,直到你告诉我的那一天,我心里的挣扎应该就会解开了。今年生日你也没祝福我,我也无所谓,因为明白大家都各忙各的,但近来发现其实你对待其他人也是如此,让我感到些许的失望。人生就是如此,there is no answer to every question.. 我该往前看了。I guess it's time to move on.
请大家读了这一番话不要问我到底在指什么。谢谢。
