Yesterday was a tiring day! Woke up at 5.23am in preparation for my final A level paper - Bio P1. At 9.15pm, the official end of JC life was declared! Yay! Truly a relief... Phew... There's Class Dinner at Fish n Co later. Before that, I went home, of course (not as if I would wait like a moron till 6.45pm), and go online to watch videos and most importantly, catch the cantonese radio live show on the internet! I love the way how people use cantonese to communicate, it somehow could make a communication, even boring topics, seems interesting enough to keep you listen. Also, I got to learn some new cantonese words through their chatting. For those who understand cantonese who might want to listen, click: omlive. The hosts are Don Li and Colleen. FYI, Don Li is one of the actors in Ten Brothers! He acted as the No. 4. He's also a singer and the songs on this blog was sung by him. Their sessions are on every Wed and Thur, 4pm - 6pm. One of the most interesting topics they chatted was when Don talked about he defaecated in his pants in school and the embarrassing moments! LOL!!! They also have talked about how they learn swimming which was very beneficial to people like me...
So after that, I rushed to take the MRT to Dhoby Ghaut but I was, however, late. But thanks to Ragha who alighted at the NEL, I wasn't the lastest - I was the second latest. Phew~
Had seafood platter as our dinner. Though I didn't eat alot but they suffice to keep my stomach full, much better than buffet in which I will definitely lose out since my stomach can't seem to endure any more weight after 40 min or so. After our dinner, for dunno-what reason, we actually went 'hiking' at Fort Canning. Actually the walk wasn't that bad considering that it aided in the digestion and with the beautiful night scenery, as well as the seemingly eerie atmosphere and buildings that surrounded us while we were walking through the dark walkways. Some even took lesbian marriage photos outside the ROM with the security guard watching! =.= Next, we walked towards Clarke Quay and took a seat in the Häagen-Dazs where some had chocolate fondue with fruits. With only a pathetic 10 bucks left in my wallet, I had to give up the delectable fondue. Oh well...
Anyway, I think I will give up yet another thing, that is the chance to pursue undergraduate studies in top China universities with PSC China scholarship. I've checked the courses which are available already which I'm not interested in even though I don't mind studying them. The courses are Economics, Political Science, Chinese Language and Literature and Science, and Engineering. Oh please, I've vowed that I'll not be writing Chinese characters anymore unless I work in China. Study for 4 years and serve the bond for 5 years are certainly not what I want me life to be like.
Right now, I should be worrying about making $, $ and more $!

after 1 week of A level
I remember I wrote "Dream big" as the last 2 words in my GP P1. For those who are having A level this year, you should know which question I did. Thinking back, I thought I was rather hypocritical, and perhaps stereotypical. Seriously, how important really is dreams in today's context, especially when we are all living in a rat race society? I need some enlightenment. But for exam sake, I wrote as an optimistic writer about this world, convincing the examiners, as well as myself, that though the world today is becoming increasingly complicated, dreams are nonetheless important for dreams give us the much needed motivation, and that nothing great had ever been achieved without bold dreams. Hmmm...
Pure math was rather difficult while statistics was okay. I just felt glad that I've managed to solve the triangle question using cosine formula after thinking real hard, a question which was supposedly easy but many people either didn't recall cosine formula or couldn't link both binomial and Maclaurin's expansion to solving it.
Bio P2 was tough! So tough that I spent more time than given thinking what the answer should be that I didn't manage to complete the paper - I left a 2-mark suggest-type question blank. I thought that the standard was prelim standard, if not higher. And I realised that school papers were so much easier in comparison. I think the difference was school papers were easy to do but hard to score, while A level was hard to do, needless to mention if one could score easily. It really made you crack your brain that you probably prefer to run 2.4km, rather than feeling breathless in a well-ventilated air-con hall. Must really do well for P3...no choice...
Chem P3 was okay, at least is wasn't as difficult as the other papers so far. I only have myself to blame for committing stupid careless mistakes, and perhaps changed to doing question 1 in the last 20 min after I couldn't get a logical H:C ratio in question 2. Anyway, there's no point dwelling in too much since they're already OVER. It's wiser and better to prepare for future papers... jia you!
PS: 十兄弟 is a nice show! Channel 8 7pm weekdays. haha
