Examination is ALMOST over

Amos did try to kill me. Not sure about the others but I felt that the questions were quite tough. JiaRui and I are already prepared to retake it next year. Yes, it is really that bad. Statistics 1 was fine though, just that I didn't have enough time to finish the paper. Lost 13 marks for nothing. HaI~! Left with Principles of Banking and Finance and Introduction to Business and Management now. I am worried about IBM. Think I have forgotten most of the theories and models. To make things worse, PBF and IBM are on the same day, 25 May. Please pray for me.

Geraldine called me on Tuesday. She wants me to give her tuition again. I stopped tutoring her late last year 'coz of the school holidays and didn't continue doing so 'coz her mom thinks my fee is too high and switched to tuition at a tuition centre instead. Decided to take her again 'coz she lives quite near my house.

I am so tired. I need a break.

Under maintainence

I have fallen terribly ill again. Woke up in the middle of the night with an upset tummy and a slight fever last night. Kept rushing in and out of the washroom from then till now. Haven't eaten anything since this morning 'coz I feel like vomiting everytime I try to eat something. Was so sick that I have decided to cancel all my tuition for the day. Fortunately, their parents were quite understanding. Took some medicine and fell asleep. Only woke up a while ago. HaI~! Now, I have less time to study for Economics.

Took my first paper, Mathematics 1 on Thursday. It was horribly set. All the questions seem so alien to me 'coz I have never seen them anywhere before. It was nothing like the past year questions which were manageable in my opinion. Nevertheless, I tried my best. Just hope it won't turn out too bad. SiGh~!

Introduction to Economics is tomorrow. I think Amos is going to kill us this time. ArGh~!

Had been feeling very depressed recently. Have to thank ZhiFa, Albert and WeiQi for listening to my never ending grouses, providing me with lots of advices and for always trying to cheer me up. Thanks to ZhiFa for his notes and all the talks we have had, Albert for his endless supply of Friendster testimonials (life supply ya? =P), and WeiQi for all the retail therapy trips she has accompanied me to (when is the next one?). Love ya lots! =)

Life was never a bed of roses

This week had been a hectic one. It is the kids' examination week and some parents had requested for extra tuition. Had tuition with Jaslyn four times this week. As usual, most of the time was spent doing her homework from school. Terrible girl. Shall not talk about her anymore. Spoils my mood. Had two extra sessions with DaiYing this morning, from 730AM to 1030AM. Had to wake up at 630AM. On a Sunday morning. SiGh~!

Had Charlene and Shermaine from 11AM to 2PM on 1 May 'coz it was a public holiday. Had the rest of the day off. Went to town with WeiQi after lunch with daddy. Bought a pair of shoes from U.R.S. and a box of durian puffs from Takashimaya. Was quite disappointed with the durian puffs though. The puffs were too hard.

Went back to school for PBF on 3 May and 5 May. Miss Koh conducted the lectures. Got back my assignment which I handed up last September and the test which I did last November. I actually scored better for my test than for my assignment. For your information, I only spent one day preparing for the test but took one week doing the assignment. Actually, I could have scored better for the assignment. I deliberately left out the second part of the question 'coz I was too lazy to finish it, thus I only got half the total mark. HaHa~! I am still quite proud of my test result though, considering that I only studied for one day. Got quite high score for the essay questions. HeE~!

Saw a guy who looks a lot like GuanYu at Clementi MRT station while I was on my way home on Friday. He kept trying to be ahead of me. I overtook him 'coz I was rushing for the train. He started walking faster and overtook me, then slow down again. I overtook him again. He did the same thing again. I was fed up and decided to walk behind him after that. Weird guy. Saw another guy on the train who looks like Dave. Gave me a shock. Of course it was not him. Don't think that young master would take the train. Not when he has a big comfortable car.

It was polling day yesterday. I am under 21 and was not eligible to vote, but I had been following the news on the GE since nomination day. Was really happy that Mr Chiam and Mr Low won Potong Pasir and Hougang respectively, though I don't stay there. I envy the residents of Potong Pasir and Hougang for having such outstanding leaders to represent them in the Parliament. I think SDA and WP are quite strong opposition parties. Not that I am a supporter of either party, but I think they make the GE more interesting and exciting by causing it to be less predictable. I wished the opposition party at my area was just as strong, but no, they were so much weaker. Honestly, if I were to vote this time, I would have voted for PAP. The reason being PAP has candidates who are more capable than that particular opposition party if you ask me. However, if another opposition party were to contest in my area, my choice might not be the same. It all depends on the situation. Too bad, I had no say in this year's GE. Hopefully, I would get a chance to vote in the next GE.
