Diary Entry 8 - 30 June 2017

Last day of June!! Time passed so fast... Remember last week nobody came for tuition? Well this week everyone came but I was so tired I was fighting to stay awake...

During recess today, we had Ice Cream! Why? Because Sunday is Youth Day and Monday is a school holiday. Yep, one of those days that took away lesson time.

I have an issue with my class though. I'm an EXCO member that nobody listens to...

When your national anthem plays, you're expected to stand at attention. But I've got an international classmate who can't seem to understand this concept. When I asked him why he was looking left and right and scratching his head, this was the reply he gave "I'm not Singaporean, I don't need to participate" So what if youre not a Singaporean? You live here and you study here. Is it really that difficult to show that little bit of respect to the country that you have been on for the past 9 to 10 years?

Another thing, so since we had Ice Cream and not everyone came down for recess. We brought the leftovers back to class for the others. To keep the class clean, I told them to eat outside. 3 times each with increasing volume but nobody listended. What is this? Are you treating me as invisible? So I eventually gave up... And returned to my seat. I was even called a prick and the that I shouldn't be shouting because this ain't my grandpa's house.

Did I do something wrong? Was it my fault that I shouted? Is it because usually I'm too nice that they treat me this way? If they think I have no powers to give instructions, what power do they have to not listen to me?

At least there was only 2 more periods left and I headed straight to the meeting which we saw the things we have to do and got stunned... That was around 3 hours of planning and talking with the teachers.

As I got home, I was left with 30 minutes to shower and leave home for tuition. No breaks, full speed ahead. So I was so tired I was fighting to stay awake. I don't think anyone really realised, not even the teacher since I tried to be natural (I hope no one did)

Wow!.That was quite a long one with so much of my emotions... As always, it time to sleep. Good night and see you next time!

Diary Entry 6 - 28 June 2017

I finally found some time to write. So yesterday was the first day of school and first day for our Probational Prefects. Most parts of it went smoothly with our seniors taking good care of them trainees. This semester is full of holidays; should I be happy? Maybe not. We are going to lose a lot of lessons before our year end exams... And to be honest, I'm afraid when the time comes, I won't be ready. So I guess it's up to me to decide whether to continue what I do to study and revise or to be lazy

Diary Entry X - 12 October 2017

Who's gonna get the iPhone X? Apparently, it's not pronounced as 'X' but 'ten"... I'll just call it an Apple sandwiched between 2 pieces of glass xD. Currently: Anyways, exams are practically over as i'm just left with my Mother Tongue Listening Paper 3 (Good Luck to Biology students). I don't think there's a way to study for it as you'll not know what's gonna come out? You're just gonna listen to a boring 45 minute CD track playing, and listen really carefully even though it's boring :). It's common for people to fall asleep during it. 2 weeks of hell: No, not the 2 weeks of EXAM HELLL, no. Exams were hell and if you think it's not enough, take Exams+injured left leg and you'll understand my pain. So... The first day of exams (Thurs 5 Oct), I woke up and as soon as my left foot touched the ground, pain just surged... So, I did my morning routine while limping and limped all the way till today. Usually the pai...

Diary Entry 3 - 22 June 2017 (Pulau Ubin)

Those who read yesterday's entry will know today's is going to be a trip report. So let's get started! First things first: I woke up at 8am in the morning and left home at 9.30am. It took me around an hour to get to Tanah Merah MRT to take a bus. According to Google maps: Bus 35. Now, those who know their way would probably be asking why did I take 35? I'll explain in a bit. My cute 'mei' ( 'younger sister' in Mandarin): 2 weeks ago, when I told her i'm going to Pulau Ubin, she already reacted like "NOOOO!!!" And only once she did not object to it. But today when I was on the train: Haha, I love her so much, she's so cute! En Route to the ferry terminal - Full of Setbacks: So as bus 35 takes us along the perimeter of Changi Airport, I certainly did some planespotting. And apparently the app I was using to find the route of the bus wasn't updated, I got off at the wrong stop and was left stranded alone at a bus s...
