got an A for H2 Math, but its not really an achievement since 50% of the cohort got an A. But i'm glad i'm in that 50%! haha! for GP, i got a C, not good still, but its improved from an E in Mid-year. and i'm happy for geog, got a C, though its not good but its better than my S for Mid-year. biology improved by 2 grades but didn't do well, no one in our class got an A. i got a D, from S in mid-year. CHEM!!!! :) alot of us didn't do well because the paper was v difficult. one third 33.3% of the cohort failed. i got an E, same as nally. improved from an S in Mid-year. here's a summary of my grades..

hello! :)
the promotional exams are over, phew! i think most of us had felt stressed out in the weeks before the exam, did put in consistent work in the second half of the year. the exams were fine, chemistry was the most difficult paper and everyone agreed on that. the mcq questions were harder than the structured questions!
my first year in JC is almost over. it definitely has been an enriching time spent learning new knowledge. i think i have enjoyed chem and math the most! biology was good too, but its really a tremendous step up from O level biology. the first few lectures spent in Anderson JC were the most scary ones, haha, because it was on cell structure, covering areas we had never touched on in O levels. i remember looking at the lecture notes on the golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes etc, and i was thinking 'wow.. so many new terms i never heard of'. i think that will be the experience many of us feel when we begin taking biology. nevertheless, i like biology, because its very, very interesting and in-depth about cells, DNA, eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes, evolution, cell and nuclear division, genetics of viruses etc.
chemistry too, was so much different from o levels. it involves a lot of understanding about the topics taught, you won't be able to do well if you do your revision at the last minute. i love chemistry, though i don't do very well for it. but i'll work hard to be better at it. i'm thinking of pursuing a degree in chemistry or applied chemistry, or pharmacy. :)
and finally, all the best to those taking PW exam end of this year! let's work hard to achieve the results we want! to the J2s and IP4s, good luck for your A levels and stay happy!

hello! :) june holidays has ended and so has the common tests (it ended today). i have been busy during the holidays, preparing for the tests and spending about a week at my grandfather's wake. he passed away on tuesday, in the second week of June. it was prostate cancer and myocardial infarction. i really miss him, wished he could live longer, but i think i should feel happy for him, because he does not have to suffer anymore.
besides this, i attended CMB POP on 16 June. it was one of the best passing out parades i've seen so far, and its definitely the best that CMB has had. i feel very proud of my juniors for working so hard to make it a success! i'll always love you, xinyue, atika, venus, kongyong, saiful, sohniya, leon, siti and dawn!! :) all the best to you in band and in your studies too!
And the Common Tests are over. we all felt the papers were difficult, especially math. but we won't give up, even if we don't do well. go go go, S07! let's work harder together!

hi :) i'm feeling more optimistic, than the past few weeks! its as if i know that things will get better and not seem so bleak, if i possess the right attitude in facing it. i hope you're doing well too, whoever you are!
actually, i shouldn't have been happier than before, because some things have turned for the worse, but i'm facing them with the right mindset. :) the june holidays has arrived! its not much of a holiday for students, especially for those in junior colleges, because the common tests come immediately after it. this means its a time given for us to study and make full use of. i find it a little hard to sit at the same table to study for long periods of time, but i guess that's the challenge! to sit and concentrate on your bio, chem, geog, or whatever notes you have. let's work hard together, mustn't be lazy already haha. :)
aside from studies, cca-wise, i cannot go for softball trainings anymore, because of my skin. but i have found another to replace it. i'll be going for SnT from now onwards, and i'll work hard to be involved and committed in it. thank you softballers, for having been such good teachers and for helping me be a part of the team! i love you all, and will remember you always.
my grandfather's very sick. he has late-stage cancer, i don't know how long more he'll be able to stay with us. my mother and i have been to see him at the hospital, and he looks very frail. though i'm not able to communicate with him because he speaks only cantonese, i hope to be at the hospital to see him as much as i can.
i hope my family and friends will stay safe and sound, and stay healthy. :) my health's not very good, have had a few periods when i had shortness of breath. i think it may be asthma attacks, but its not very serious, its only that its very hard to breathe during those periods. i have my inhaler with me, but the medicine does not kick in very fast. i hope i'll stay fine, because there are so many things i want to do, and aspire to be when i grow up. i'll take care of myself. :)
to all my friends, enjoy your holidays! take very good care of yourselves and stay healthy. and most of all, be happy. i love you all! :D

its may 18. :) haven't been blogging for about 2 months now. been busy with school work. :)
though school has been hectic and sometimes tiring, i'm happy because i've found really great friends! thank you nally, shima, hui huan, jade, lusandra, judy, benny, teck ian, lin fang and all, for having been such good friends! :)
had been in softball. talked to mr tong today and told him i couldn't continue to go for trainings anymore, becuase of my skin condition. feel sad thinking about how i won't get to go for trainings with the softballers anymore. a little emotional. why is my skin this way?
went for my NUH appt on tuesday. the consultation fees and skin scrape microscopic examination was expensive. the medicine too. 14 capsules at $28. its called sporanox. its an anti- fungal treatment that i have to take for one week. :) not sure if the white patches were because of fungi, because the skin scrape for my hands tested negative for fungus. going back for a follow-up in 3 months time- 14 August.
had a math test on functions, APGP, and summations. got 23/30. not very pleased with myself. i'll work harder and do better for the common tests! :)
love geography, math, biology and chemistry! though the new topics are a little hard to understand sometimes, i still love them!
njc will be holding the SISC (Singapore International Science Challenge) next week. i hope it goes very well!! there'll be international participants from 10 countries- UK, US, Japan, Moscow etc. can't remember. :)
june holidays is arriving soon! will have to study and revise well for the common tests straight after the holidays. must do well! jiayou everyone! :)

its the march holidays, and i'll mostly be at home revising my work and enjoying the one week break. lessons have not started yet in NJC, there was only orientation and the annual road run. orientation in NJC was named 'Odyssey II- the njc adventure'. :) it was rather memorable, and i feel all of us had fun.
on the first day, there were a few administrative matters to settle, such as choosing our subject combination. (i'll be taking 4H2 subjects- math, chem, bio and geog. ) nevertheless, me and my OG got to know one another. there was michelle, teo guan, kee luy, joanna, gina, alan, fat, priscilla, sonia, sheryl etc. and our OGLs- nora, shermin and edmund! :)
we learnt 2 dances, both of which we had a male partner. it was quite awkward actually, because i didn't really know my OG mate whom i danced with. :D i loved the station games the most! we went to ten stations, where we competed with a different OG each time.
there were a few stations i remember vividly. :) one of them was Hydration, where we were given half a watermelon, and competed with another team, to see who could finish the watermelon faster. it was very hilarious, because we kept using our fingers to dig into the fruit and eat the flesh. the guys drank the juice haha! :)
another station was the Acid River, where we had to cross from one side of the river to another, using 3 cardboards. there was a slight twist to the game, that was, the addition of two handicaps. the handicaps- michelle and i, had to be carried from one side to the other. i was very embarrassed at that time, since i was neither very thin nor very small in build. :D alan had to piggy-back me, and i think it was difficult for him, though he crossed the river quite fast. i think that was the most embarrassing moment of the orientation! :)
on another note, i'm alright health-wise. :) i only have to take two puffs of the asthma preventer and nasal spray every morning, and i'll be okay. i'm sorry if i scared you with the x-ray scan, it was nothing actually. i'm still strong, ever ready to fight! :D

i feel a little down... but otherwise i'm alright. :)
went to the polyclinic again yesterday because i felt some tightness in my chest. the doctor said that there was lesser air flow in the right side of my lungs, and referred me to the x-ray room downstairs to do a radiological scan of my lungs. waited one hour for the results, and i'm thankful to know there's nothing wrong with my lungs. no cardiac shadow. nothing. :)
though the x-ray showed no problem in my lungs, i still had to purchase two inhalers- one an asthma preventer, and the other for when i feel breathless. because my mother accompanied me there and we had to wait for very long, i felt very bad for causing my mother to have to rush to work after leaving the polyclinic. also, i have to go back to see the doctor after two weeks, to check that my condition is stable.
my sister told me yesterday that she had appealed and would be going to ngee ann poly. felt a lot of sadness, especially since i had thought we would be schoolmates again, at NJC. i really hope she'll be happy, and enjoy studying in poly. reach for your dreams, sister! and i love you! :)
