June Hols!

Mdm Yasmin - "Just make sure you buy Fabric paints...Don't buy those kind that are oil-based or whatever. Somebody set fire to the place, all of you will burn and die."
Me - "And who would do such a dastardly, evil, totally and completely horrible thing?"
Victor - [Points at me] "How about-"
Me - "Victor you shut up."

K, last day of school has gone by. Right about now, I think at least 3/4 of the sec 2 cohort are suffering at the NEWater plantation thingy-ma-bob so ahaha suckers.

Got back my results today.
English -74.3 ( A2 )
Chinese - 68.2 ( B3 )
Mathematics - 73.5 ( A2 )
Science - 66.0 ( B3)
History - 75.4 ( A1 )
Literature - 79.0 ( A1 )
D&T - 73.9 ( A2 )

Resulting in a total of 510.3/700 which is a percentage of 72.9. My class position went from 14/24 from last year's end of year to 2/24 this year! WOO HOO! Express-stream wise for the cohort, got 31/251 which is already quite good for me although my original aim was to be in the top 20. Oh yeah, Bob got 1st in class for Express stream and he's 3rd in Express-Stream for the cohort. I got 2nd in class for Express stream and I'm the 31st...Big difference huh? Of course, his percentage is like 78? Oh and apparently, I'm 6th in class in terms of percentage, losing to Kevin ( Duh ), Bob ( Duh ), Adeeb ( Duh ), Vikash ( Duh ) and Charlie? Not too sure about Charlie, but I heard that he was only slightly below Bob in terms of percentage, having been pulled down by his English grades.

Guess I'll have to buck up for CA2 and end-of-years. Science is definitely my weakest subject so I've certainly got to work on it. But I guess I'd rather rely on pulling up my other subjecs to compensate for Science. For example, Literature, History and English. My Maths marks just fluctuate too much to be reliable. History too come to think of it, although I have tremendously improved this year. From a 53 (C6) to a 75.4 (A1) is certainly no small jump.

If I do stay in VS, I definitely want to maintain this sort of grades. Of course, when I say maintain, I mean "Not dropping". I want to improve of course but with the extra subjects I'll be taking, I suppose maintaining my current grade scores would be good enough.

Although come to think of it, when I go to Sec 3, I'll be taking subjects I really do have an interest and passion for. Wouldn't I do well for them then? I mean, Literature and English are subjects I'm most passionate about and I'm doing fairly well for then. Maybe I could pull those grades up. Improving in every single subject would be unrealistic for sure, but with more hard and smart work, I can definitely improve my Lit, History, Maths and English marks.

Ok enough of the academic hoo-haa. Mr Chia came along and came us playing 3-way Stress with poker cards. As a result, I was forced to throw them in the dustbin. Danial managed to salvage them later though, but it's missing the 6 of diamonds =(. Oh yeah, Nicholas went to take the D&T stuff, then came up holding the folio and the workpiece.

Nicholas - "Eh Linus, do you want our workpiece?"
Me - Mmm...No."
Nicholas - "Ok."

And then he just casually tossed the workpiece from the back of the room to the dustbin in front, missing it and hitting the wall. The workpiece then obviously broke and the pieces fell all over the floor. My jaw really fell open in shock. I mean, I DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO THROW IT AWAY! On the bright side, I took home the folio which we got 31/40 for. Yay! Nicholas' handwriting combined with Linus' drawings...Heh heh.

Went to Parkway KFC for lunch and found out that almost half the class was there. Made the terrible decision of ordering the spicy, crispy 2-piece chicken meal. Not only was my order forgotten, but by the time I finally got it, all of them were leaving to return to VS for the NEWater plantation trip thingy.

So I sat down lonely and sad, tears sliding down my face as the rain poured down outside. Nah just kidding. Because my newly-tightened braces are so bloody painful, I basically just de-skinned the chicken and ate the skin. Then threw it away, caught a bus 76 home and then now I'm blogging.

And now, I'm going to blow my brains out playing Gunbound or DotA. Whichever.
