my studies sux la

my studies totally cannot make it lahx.
failing almost all the tests... so fed up with myself... i'm really tired of failing tests!
i think i've lost almost all my motivation to study, to catch up already.
however, i know that i can't give up yet. or i'll be disappointing the people around me. i don't wish to see their disappointed faces. it will hurt me most.

i did visualise, or rather, seriously think before what will i do if i have to really retain and repeat my year 1. i thought of going to a poly. but somehow or rather i detest the feeling of having to study with a group of people who are younger than me. i'll feel even more demoralised and that i am a failure. moreover, i dun really like to study in a poly also. not that i am prejudice against poly students. but the idea of having to build up your resume for future makes me feel that it is a troublesome chore which i dun like at all. moreover, i dun think i can endure 3 more years of tests / memorisation of facts. i'm tired of it.

i also thought of going straight to NS. at least i can still work for NS and can earn some money, perhaps for the rest of my life... i know it's really a pessimistic thought. but i think i'll left with no choice by then. working in NS at least gives me opportunites to excel in future, rather than ending up with no job in the end~

sometimes i really hate the schools. school papers are always more difficult than Cambridge papers which is a norm, i know. but i still hate the school for setting really difficult questions to assess us. why can't they just follow strictly to the syllabuses and test us accordingly? how am i going to promote to year 2 should i carry on scoring such horrible results?? and i think i am going to. no doubt there are ppl who can handle them very well. but there are ppl like me who is not as smart.

i'm sick of jc life. sometimes i really feel that jc life = no life. i can't imagine how those top notch students can bury themselves in the books for such long hours. i'd rather sleep. seriously i can't be like them. seeing my tests getting grades of D, E, S, U makes me feel disgusting. i never imagine i'm getting such terrible grades. i want to stop getting such grades. but .... sigh.

alright. i think i should stop grumbling and complaining. maybe in the end it's my own problem after all. perhaps my study techniques, my attitude bla bla bla.... June holiday = no holiday anyway. it's time for us to mug for mid-year and research for PW. mid-year result is a good check on our progress. and i can somehow predict my future when i get back my mid-year results...

sigh...i'm getting berserk!

sentimental 文学作品 =p

Just feel like typing out some Chinese Literature Song Ci which I like. Learn from lep.

雨霖铃 柳永

寒蝉凄切, 对长亭晚, 骤雨初歇。 都门账饮无绪, 方留恋处, 兰舟催发。 执手泪眼相看, 竟无语凝噎。念去去、千里烟波, 暮霭沉沉楚天阔。

多情自古伤离别, 更那堪、冷落清秋节。今宵酒醒何处?杨晓岸、晓风残月。此去经年, 应是良辰好景虚设。便纵有、千种风情,更与何人说?


武陵春(风住沉香花已尽) 李清照

风住沉香花已尽,日晚倦梳头。物是人非事事休,欲与泪先流。
闻说双溪春尚好,也拟泛轻舟。只恐双溪舴艋舟,载不动许多愁。


再别康桥 徐志摩

轻轻的我走了,
正如我轻轻的来;
我轻轻的招手,
作别西天的云彩。

那河畔的金柳,
是夕阳中的新娘;
波光里的艳影,
在我的心头荡漾。

软泥上的青荇,
油油的在水底招摇;
在康河的柔波里,
我甘心做一条水草!

那榆萌下的一潭,
不是清泉,是天上虹,
揉碎在浮藻间,
沉淀着彩虹似的梦。

寻梦?撑一枝长篙,
向青草更青处漫溯,
满载一船星辉,
在星辉斑斓里放歌。

但我不能放歌,
悄悄是别离的笙箫;
夏虫也为我沉默,
沉默是今晚的康桥!

悄悄的我走了,
正如我我悄悄的来;
我挥一挥衣袖,
不带走一片云彩。


S.H.E. also have 再别康桥 in their PLAY album too! The song is really nice!
And my blog has changed to this song too.
This is their lyrics:

马蹄踏过石板街道
窄巷深处有人祷告
雨后水洼教堂倾倒
意识流的四十度角

图书馆前站着半座石雕
六个便士带走一副素描
壁炉终日孤独吐着火苗
煤油灯下岁月不被惊扰

你在剑桥一身寂寞穿黑色学袍
你用诗句歌唱爱情押美丽韵脚
一船星辉见证那个古典的拥抱
那片水草还在怀念你撑的长蒿

你在剑桥半生寂寞穿中国长袍
你用诗句告别爱情押绝望韵脚
谁的衣袖带走那片云彩的来到
离别笙萧那样沉默像一种凭吊

红砖墙壁紫藤缠绕
垂柳摇醒两岸拂晓
怀旧风琴失传民谣
中世纪就开始苍老

广场鸽子仰望天空思考
歌特尖塔勾勒末世线条
故事流过落日的叹息桥
诗人的爱还在唱咏叹调

你在剑桥一身寂寞穿黑色学袍
你用诗句歌唱爱情押美丽韵脚
一船星辉见证那个古典的拥抱
那片水草还在怀念你撑的长蒿

你在剑桥半生寂寞穿中国长袍
你用诗句告别爱情押绝望韵脚
谁的衣袖带走那片云彩的来到
离别笙萧那样沉默像一种凭吊

the past happenings...

Just have my NAPFA test and I passed the test! I won't say out my results cos they're too embarrassing to tell as they're just passes... A silver. That means that I do not have to attend afternoon P.E. anymore for the rest of the year! =) That means I can go back home at 1.30p.m. instead of having to wait till 4pm for P.E until 5pm every Friday! =) Of course, hope the college won't change the time-table.....

Homework to be done this weekend:
  1. Cellular Structure, Water & Life, Carbohydrates, Protein, Lipids and Photosynthesis tutorials =( [sigh... i never do...]
  2. Literature: 'Yao' and 'Yong Yu Le' assignment =\

Will be going to St James Power Station on 28th May =] Our principal invited all CCAs involved in SYF and Sports competition to St James Power Station! We have to wear clubbing attire. hahax... There'll be free food and free flow of drinks.. =p Not only that, we will also get a free 3-year PA card, and many more things which I don't really remember, something like getting discounts going to kayak or play some water games. cool right.... Symphonic Band, CO and Chinese Drama get Gold fot SYF central judging, while Choir and Guzheng get Silver. Volleyball girls came 2nd runner-up while volleyball boys emerged Champion! Thanks to the principal :)

GP lecture next Tuesday will be screening a movie instead! :p Better than having to listen to the lecturer 'nagging'. Heard from the teacher that this movie will be full of vulgarites, how the boys got into prison and sexually abused... bla bla bla.
... something like that... (",)

Shall go and download stuffs and do homework now~ tata!

disappointment. tired. vexed. :(

naruto shooting star

The tune which is playing now is Shooting Star from Naruto: Shippuden! It's played after every episode of Naruto. This song is so touching and evokes a sense of nostalgia..... (:

This morning had my Chinese Language & Literature test. Let me tell you the torturous format for the test: Firstly, test for Paper 2 Literature component is tested first for 1 h 30 min from 08 10 - 09 40, followed by a 20 min break. Next, 1 h 30 min of Paper 1 Language component commenced at 10 00 to 11 30. In other words, I had been writing for 3 full hours non-stop! I've also used 9 writing papers for this test... waste .... but no choice..... =\

After test, we had a half-hour break before a Literature remedial from 12 00 - 13 00 for 'Yao' by Lu Xun. Good thing is the teachers had bought us biscuits and bread to fill our hungry stomachs. Just couldn't pay my full attention during the remedial. Instead, I was studying and tried to memorise the 6 errors, reasons and improvements for next tuesday Chemistry SPA. lolx... I have memorised the 6 errors but still not so sure for the reasons and improvements for each error.

After that, I waited till 14 30 to watch 'Othello' - a drama adapted from Shakespeare. It's a literature text for 'A' level. This drama is acted by the English drama club and my PE teacher - Mr. Singh, is also one of the actors! hahahax... he's so funny...

I owe 3 CLL assgnments and i MUST complete them by tomorrow. Teacher had even issued a 'black list' and my name is, of course, on the list. Teacher said, "Sha1 Wu2 She4" if those of us still not going to do the assgnments... How can I not do? I've owed the assignments for almost a month already... Of course I am not the only one... hahax...

Just finished watching Naruto: Shippuden episode 13! SO COOL! SO EXCITING! LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT EPISODE! THAT'LL BE EVEN MORE EXCITING!

No time to listen my S.H.E.'s album proper cos too much things need to be done. Homework, GPP, CCA bla bla bla...... So yesterday I had to type my group's GPP while listening to the album. I like 'Zai Bie Kang Qiao' cos it has the poem feel. Perhaps I'm studying Chinese Literature that makes me like this song very much. The melody is also very touching! =]
