i went back to tk today!! that's where i call home man. tj was invited to give a talk so we all just went back. and the prefects' investiture was today too, so saw loads of ppl. i kinda regret not speaking up about tj just now. tj isnt that bad a place.
so we 4e2ians went to talk to mrs chan. it was so fun lah. we were gossiping about everything and laughing at the teachers. mrs loke walked past and asked about us very fakely. she was like "some familiar faces huh? welcome back girls!" -wide smile- oh right. whatever. when she trotted off we were all exchanging disgusted looks lah. lopez came by and we were laughing at her eyebrows. yap came along and told us to wait for him. he had like an apple in his bag and it looked so funny lah. but he gave us coke so its okay.
its really great to go back. can they make this a monthly affair? oh i had dinner with the twcsters at laguna food centre yesterday too. this is like one of my tk-missing time. aww.

i thought i would go home happy today. i got back my progress report and got pretty satisfactory comments. maybe except from IVY LIM. her comments are really comical. click here to take a look. she says im "not always logical" and my "answers have no depth". -points at the percentile. hello, if my "answers have no depth" then the other 73% of the econs students must be really shallow. however, she thinks i "prepares well for tutorials" when i have never even tried a single question from the tutorial book. so, everyone else must have prepared fantastically for their tutorials. oh, she also thinks that im "always punctual" when im at least late for five minutes for every econs tutorial and ten minutes for civics. i really wonder what's going on in her mind. if my memory doesnt fail me i believe i have really similar comments as agatha's. maybe not exactly the same like in perfect competition, but at least similar as in monopolistic competition. LOOK, i know my economics.
however that didnt affect me much, since when did i get affected by nonsense?! it was my organ exam results that depressed me. when the lady passed me a small envelope, i instinctly knew i failed. cos a certificate couldnt be squeezed into that envelope. click here to take a look at my result slip. i walked around aimlessly in parkway. only then i felt like crying. cos the effect has finally sunked in. its not that i didnt practise. I DID. i woke up at 6.30 that morning when i took my exam to practise. but i still screwed up cos of my unfamilarity with the organ used. and my diskette just screwed itself up and came up with some weird sounds halfway when i was playing. okay no excuses for me. i must have missed out on something when setting the diskette.
if only i didnt screw my improvisation up. if only i played better for my piece and got Bs. DAMMIT LAH. i even passed my sight playing and half of my listening can. GODDAMMIT. worst of all, i feel like retaking the exam. even though it costs >$110. even though i will be extremely busy with school. even though im not confident of passing. but because the examiner wrote "dont be discouraged", i feel like i have the chance. and i should take it. despite so many even thoughs. -HUGE SIGH. to retake or not to retake, that is the question. i really hate decision making. no wonder im a libran.

today i saw a girl reading the latest harry potter book on the train. then i remembered what i wanted to blog about yesterday. what else, but harry potter? as all loyal readers of mine should know, my mother unwittingly ordered the children's version for me. however, khimmy very sweetly agreed to order the adult's version and swop with me for the children's upon my beggings. thanks arh you rock!!
argghh damn. stupid khimmy has just told me so much about the book. -_- heh. this reminds me of how i announced on my blog that sirius died in the fifth book. and the dumb jen and marie hate notes. (STUPID LOKO!!) hahaha. its so funny thinking back now. yeahh.

random black and white shots in school + khimmy's birthday celebrations. click.
grades. i like collecting grades, especially after all the mugging i did. i like to see resutls. this week was spent collecting results. yeah, i got my grades. ;D
i think i hate the world. there are so many people that i hate. im a moody and grumpy moron.
i hate it when people ask about my grades and go "WAH SO HIGH ARH!". i hate it when they give me a disbelieving look and go, "WAH SO SMART!! you're such a freak!" basically i hate it when they go "WAH!" please. go "WAH!" at something else because my grades are not "WAH!"-worthy. its achievable if you just put in that little bit more of effort. please don't make me sound like some superhuman being for i am not. and you make me feel like an awkward dork instead.
i hate it when people compare grades competitively. it is really irritating to hear people complain about who beat them in what by how many marks or brag gleefully about how many marks they won this person by. (but at the same time interesting, for it is some blog-dissing-worthy materials.) BIG DEAL PEOPLE. just because you did better doesnt mean anything, neither does doing worse. i like a saying that i read from a poster back in tkgs - putting out someone's candle doesn't make yours any brighter. a little addition - it may make your flame seem brighter, but really, illusions are nothing.
i hate it when people complain incessantly about how they are going to fail every exam. please don't think that just because you predict you will do well means you're showing off. it shows how much self-confidence you have. some people have this strange mentality that it makes you seem more intelligent when you get As after pretending to expect Fs. sorry, but it doesn't work that way. it probably did when you're in primary school. maybe it did when you were in secondary school. but sorry, you're now in junior college. it works that way no more. you just look like someone who needs people to reassure you that you will do well and a bloody liar. maybe there are people who are really going to fail. even so, there's no point in complaining because it wont make your F an E, or at least an O. not even in your most beautiful dream.
damn im so bitter. i can continue rattling on, but i have decided to stop all these whiny nonsense. good day to you. actually, no. i hate seeing people happy. (like i have said, i am goddamn bitter.) so, bad day people.

XINYI PASSED HER ECONS!!! its an occasion worth celebrating!! i got 12/15 for my mcq (beat kahsing by 1 mark ;D) wahahaha. doesnt that sound familiar? private joke. heh. OH I WON MATHIAS TOO. so im the top dunno how many percent of the class. another private joke.
today mathias cracked a joke and he insisted that i blog about it. so here goes. if you put sean's gp essay and xinyi's gp essay into a jar of water, which one will sink faster? sean's. cos of the higher vocab density. well. let me explain. today in gp class, our tutor explained the term 'vocab density' by asking sean to read a sentence from his gp essay. and he clearly illustrated how dense his vocab was, cos the first sentence of his essay probably had 20 chim words in it already. hence, the joke.
