SLAP!!!



Yeap. More like electrocuted! Called Therese to talk about something. Was whining to each other about how we were not looking forward to school tomorrow.. Then, suddenly she asked - Hey, results out online.. you checked yours yet? I was like - OH YEA!! SHIT! I haven't check. *starts to sweat then hyperventilate* umm. call you back later, I go check online..

Click Click.. Text sheryl. Calls sheryl. Breathe breathe. Shit, what's the school website again?? Sheryl comforts. Googled it. Thanked Sheryl. Click click. Rattle student ID number under my breath.. Type in ID number and pass. Holds breath. Why page load so slow. Clicks another window. Muttering under breath.. Page loads. Ugh, fully loaded. Hand trembles. Clicks on results. And proceed to...



HUMBUG!

For the last term EVER in high school.. my average is a BLOODY D! How in the world did that happen? Well, not surprised, I'm not on honor roll or the SMARTEST person you'd know. My papers for my semester exams were tough and I didn't really know how to answer most of my science subject papers. And maths, UGH! And to top it off, I was absent for quite awhile in April and I didn't take leave, hence get deduct marks for being absent off my average. Ah wells, I deserved it. Sod it! No excuses. You reap what you so, Jovina. So face it. Disappointed about my geography.. A C+ with only an average of 78. Sighs. Practically fail everything with the passing mark being 50. Sighs.

Average after deduction of marks from being absent from school/being late for class/mundane things - 53.4. *grimaces* Tsk at self for being lazy to do procedures for taking leave. Stupid stupid stupid. So what if it was a hassle? Could have got a C at least if I did, 60 plus plus average. (Will enlighten anyone who doesn't understand how my school works.) Useless to cry over split milk. This girl shall learn from her mistakes. Yes, she will.

Sod it.

Let me lick my wounds.

One week gone again.

Closer to that dreaded month, OCTOBER.

Got my monthly report card on Monday. Mediorce lousy grades. I failed Chemistry! Shit. I got a B last month, but now, it's a bloody D. Disappointed. Maths was worse, getting worse. Physics only 45. Chinese is so BAD too. Don't fret, I didn't cry over it, because I can't. Sighs. I failed I.T, not suprised because it's practically BLANK. Only subjects that were alright was BM, 84. Geography, 82. English, 91. English Lit, 89. Oh wells.

About the Scrabble Challenge last week on Saturday, I didn't win, also. Was at the same table with Therese and Christian. He started with a word - hone. And the tiles all three of us got was "UGLY", consonants and more consonants. My score was 130, after deduction of points for leftover tiles. Therese got 135, I can't remember Christian's. The score keeper was this junior 3 kiddo, so funny. Lol. In the end, it was fun as the three of us were like man, let's share tiles and come up with words together. hahaha. FUN.

The English Speech Competition was alright. I did my script last minute, entitled "Two Worlds, Same World". (Pamela's sister liked it. She was one of the judges.) Might post it in the next post. I got first. (hehe) For the Seniors'. My class did pretty well. We got the 1st, 2nd and 3rd! Jew Chung took 2nd, Brenner took 3rd. Go SS3B '08! We did well during the Chinese one too. 1st by Jew Chung, then Jia Ying got 3rd and 4th by Wendy!

Oh, during assembly on Monday. We, seniors had to attend this talk by a lady from West Malaysia. The talk is basically about learning to love life. A sad tragedy that went right. Might share about it soon enough. I was .. touched. The title of her talk - Huo Zhe Zhen Hao! - roughly translated, Living's Great! Inspriational sums how the talk is. Organized by I-youth from West Malaysia, who last year conducted a Anti-drugs talk at our school that was equally GREAT!

School is basically the centre of my life so far. I revolve around it day in day out. Homework. Revision. Copying notes missed. Studying. Trying to study. Math tuition. Remedial tuititon with Mr.Lee. Extra lessons in school. School activities. My last year.

The next post, about the week, spotlight away from school. =)

This is a closeup. And yes, that's my chinese name.

What was in it, initially. Hehe. Had to collect our money.

Had tests on Tuesday and Wednesday. Bm and Chemistry on Tuesday. Forgot what was on Wednesday. See, my brain fails me at times. I think it was Chinese. Extra lessons in the afternoon on Monday, Chemistry. Ms. Lee's so dedicated, HANDS DOWN! Hope I won't disappoint her in October. Tuesday was Maths'. Didn't go for extra remedial that Mr. Lee insists I go on Tuesday night, had drama practice and I didn't want to let them down, so yea.. Guess it's alright if people critisize me for not prioritizing my affairs. Oh, before I forget! There's something I wanted to say. The school banned us wearing sweaters/jackets etc. Ridiculous, no? Then again, I'd shut up for now. Will talk about it, and elaborate further.. soon.

Drama practices on Monday and Tuesday nights. We've been working hard on our mime. Three cheers for the younger ones in my group! So proud of everyone of them! They are so co-operative and I know I may be so constant and insistent on the details I want. Michelle helped of course. And Karen LiJong and Sheryl are awesome!! I love you all of every single effort! I'm so excited and AMBITIOUS that we finish the whole choreography and fluent with it, hopefully by next practice on Monday!

Went to see Therese drive on Thursday. Not bad driver! Too bad, she didn't pass. Oh wells. I've been so unfortunate, okay? Orange hurt my baby toe by somewhat pressing his chair on it while fooling around. Sighs. Oh wellls. Lazy to remember now.

T.G.F.W!

Saturday classes are always a breeze! Lessons move along so fast without fail all the time. It's not draggy and all. Anyways, my Chinese teacher told us stories for the whole period (maybe, I'd post something on it soon) just because she intended to wake us up after being so disappointed with our results for the test we took earlier in the week. I'm not proud of how I did, I know I didn't really remember the translations for most of it. I did my paper though. Even so, I still need to pull up my socks. Which reminds me, that's something I always do literally, haha. I tend to wear short ones, too comfy for me to trade them in for those horrid long ones.

My weekend was kinda unfortunate. First of, I got whacked in the face by Mr.Lee, well known as Hong Chong. Before anyone of you start gasping and jumping into conclusion at how MEAN Mr.Lee was to me that he slaps me, let me explain. He was changing our seats. And, for those who know him, he is a man of HUGE HAND GESTURES and body language. So, unlucky teddy happened to be behind him when he was gesturing and "WHAM" I got whacked on the left side of my face. HURTS, alright? My left eye teared up and my classmates were like "OMG!". I was embarrassed, okay? VERY embarrassed for that matter. My face was a tad swollen. He apologised of course. Then, during Leo activities, Nathan that kid, kicked me in the shins unintentionally. In the evening, I knocked into the dining table at home. At the restaurant, I tripped but didn't fall, thank goodness. And just now, during dinner at Secret Garden, the waiter whacked my head (unintentionally, of course) with his tray after serving daddy's potato salad. Me and my unfortunate events. Lemony Snicket, need you more inspirations??!

Grandma (mummy's mummy, hehe) turned 76 yesterday on the 29th of March 2008. Yea. I took a few photos. After mummy picked me up from school, we went to wecare to buy a few slices of cakes, because we knew so very well that grandma can't even finish one slice. O_o Took a few pictures. Will display them as follows. My skills need to be polished. Some of the photos sucks. Sighs. We picked ah ma up around 1700, the roads at Padungan were already congested with the "Ngai Sin" thingy. Bought grandpa dinner. Went for dinner with the family at Shuang Teeng at RH Plaza. It feels kind of empty, the tables. Adrian's in Perth, Audrey in Shah Alam. It feels like the family is getting smaller. Dinner was the usual. Pictures below. Didn't eat much, no appetite. The usual load of dishes. Chinese dinners, so you know.

After dinner, we stopped by our "old" house at Nanas Road, my childhood home, to see my aunt , my ji gou (daddy's 2nd elder sister) She was admitted to the hospital earlier in the week. Seeing her so weak and the state of my old home (due to a few reasons, I can' say why) my heart aches so badly to see her that way. Life's so fragile. I wish I could do more than just ask her how is she feeling and hold her hand. Humans, sometimes, we take things for-granted. Times like this, I wish I have healing powers, wish I have genes as those of Heroes. Wishful thinking, useless.

Sunday was spent bumming around. *Tsks at self* I should be hung upside down and shook some sense in my thick head. EXAMS, JOVINA!! Sighs. Went for mass. Dinner was fun, aside from being whacked in the head with a tray by the waiter. Cousin came along with us for mass and all. When nana's around, and me, the other nana's around, it equals fun. hehe.

A week ahead. Let me hurl myself. I'd remember my safety gear, so fret not!
