BACK - again!

Hey ppl, I'm back! To those who are obsessive-compulsively checking out my blog, sorry for the lag of updates. First of all, my comp crashed. I still haven't got it repaired yet. :(

Anyway, I'm back from Hongkong!! It's been a good experience. The weather and everything is cooling. Haha... we took over 700+ pics. We stayed at Mongkok's Langham Hotel. Wah.. 6 star hotel somemore. Very nice hotel. And classy too. Will post the pics up soon! The more memorable moments were that of Disneyland's, where we took lots and lots of beautiful pics! Haha.. I know you can't wait to check out the pics! I can't wait to post them up too! Hahaha..

I won't be online as often as before for now. Till my comp gets fixed I guess. So if there's anyone looking for me for a cuppa teh or want chill out, go sing or anything, feel free to call/sms my hp. My hp's on 24/7. Hahaha.

Look out for this space though. Will load pics soon!~

Ciao. =D

Great Expectations..

Other than being an exam week, the past few days were spent catching up with old mates and having a partying good time.

TT's post bday celebration was great.

But I wasn't feeling that great after all..

Lots of issues lately. Exam stress(well I don't know), uncontrollable irrational thoughts, and the urge to breakthrough soon enough.

I guess I just want to do great. And make everyone feel great about me.
That's when I get to really feel appreciated, right?

I just want a B.R.E.A.K.T.H.R.O.U.G.H. !!!

Tuition teacher has his "woes".

I just received a phone call from a tuition agency. She looked for Mr. Anson. I wanted to laugh but didn't. She first introduced herself as Susie, and I thought she sounded Indian. Okaayy.. Actually I didn't expect it to be from a tuition agency cos I haven't spoken to any Indian-sounding Susie before. Well, maybe the numerous tuition agencies that I signed up with worked somehow. So here was how the conversation goes.

Susie: Are you available to take any assignments now?
Mr. Anson: Ya I am.
Susie: Oh which location you like to teach?
Mr. Anson: West. Preferably west.
Susie: Oh that's in Pasir Ris right?
***Mr. Anson started to roll eyes at this point of time.
Mr. Anson: No.(Totally) I'm at Jurong area.
Susie: Cos I actually have an assignment at Loyang area. P6.
***Mr. Anson started to roll eyes at more directions.

Currently, I have 4 tutees in total. Just went for a new assignment near my house on Sunday. A Malaysian Chinese going to Pri 2 boy whose mother is very concerned about improving his English. But that boy ah, when started to teach him, he did try to follow my instructions and do what I told him to. But then, soon enough, while I was talking to him about his hobbies and ambition he would drift off to some "learned" theories and "crap". Cos he said he liked to play basketball, then he was saying what he saw in a tv show someone took a basket and a ball and put it together and call it basketball. He has a Chinese-Malaysian-Taiwanese accent. Asked him to converse with me in English but he tend to speak Mandarin instead.

And ah, I'm really quite disappointed to know that one of my other tutees, that boy from the bro-sis duo, didn't do well for his papers. See la. Don't listen to Mr. Ong la. Always play play play la. I tell you ah, next time round I will enforce on the discipline part.

You kids. Listen here. Be prepared for the stricter, smarter, but still as suave, Mr. Ong..

LONG CHIAM PASS!!!

Just had my first paper today. For the first time in don't know how many months, I found myself returning to the long-lost "identity" of a public commuter. And this time round, I took the train all the way from Boon Lay to Expo, just cause the exam was held there!!! Phew. Long train journey, but I boarded it together with dearie, who alighted halfway to go to school.

Oh ya. Speaking of my first paper. I tell you.. I tell you.. I'm really just hoping for a PASS. Please. 40% is sufficient for me to pass. I realised that I didn't cover all the topics that required memorisation. So there were a few questions I think I smoked through.

Here's what's going to happen. If I pass, I completed this module. If not, I would need to resit the paper again. But thankfully, my grades for this modules' assignments were pretty decent. 79% and 88% for my both essays. You see, the system in UniSIM is like this. You need to attain both 40% for the Continuous Assessment and the exam paper itself to be considered a pass. Dude. I tell you. I don't need much. Just let me know that I passed my paper. Even if it's a 40. I don't really care.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Alright. One paper down. Two more to go!!

Seriously, I can't remember feeling the exam mood again after so long. I mean my 'A' levels were in 2005, and that was the last time I felt the exam mood. Now after a lapse of 3 years or so, that experience is back. Hahaha. What an unwelcomed feeling. I mean, there were numerous "examinations" in NS, how to strip a rifle within 50 seconds? Load a magazine within one minute? But academic stuff still are the exams of all other exams.

Except the driving test of course. One of the most jittery feeling for a test! Gosh. I'm so glad I'm already over that phase. Haha.

Well, maybe I should do a countdown of the top 3 exam jitteries so far. I guess.

3) Those NS tests(the pressure could be felt! Though you were bound to pass.)
2) 'A' Levels(actually I already forgot that feeling. Haha. Wasn't much of a mugger anyway.)
1) Driving test!!!(This one's pretty obvious. I think I'm not the only one to felt that way!)

And so,

It's back to study time.

Second paper on Thursday, last paper next Thursday.
And it will soon be over.

Kambuteh!!!(Spelling by dearie, quite creative ah? Lol)

When that feeling sucks.

Tomorrow is the day of my first paper and I am...

STUCK..

Stuck somewhere between the walls of my mind,
Stuck in my own pathetic world now..

I feel like..

SINGING out LOUD..
DANCING out LOUD..
LAUGHING OUT LOUD..

But I still have the papers to clear,

And my thoughts to settle..

So who's gonna catch me when I fall?

Save me from myself.
