today is 31st oct. a day of memories, i think.
one year ago it signaled the start of the holidays, the real kind since work was never in the equation. two years back, i cannot remember. three years back, ah i guess that was the good ol days?
today. well it seems that three years make a lot of difference, what the, even a year (in this case) makes so much difference. never thought i would spend today the way i did. econs deans lesson, last bit of chinese focus camp and then off to holland v. a talk by someone from Great Eastern, some teachings from everyone's favourite chinese teacher! [ =P ] and an interesting time of lunch, lounging(?) and just talking with luke, ariel, sheryl, joyce and marissa.
starbucks! yay! i think for the first time (as far as i can remember), i bought hot coffee instead of a frap! but this is only for singapore. bought the hot peppermint mocha last year in korea at the vivaldi ski resort and something else at the starbucks in some place within walking distance from ritz-carlton or something. ah my memory fails me!
ahh it's so scary to think of the things ahead of me. i shall listen to rockapella songs on youtube to make me feel better. ok songs that are not in my library. ahh i want the other rockapella christmas album!!
i broke my promise. omg :(

it's the holidays and i guess that has given the illusion that i can live life a bit more carefree now. i can watch more tv (or shows on my com like one tree hill). but it's an illusion. it is not true. the term holidays is such a wrong term to use because i am an acsi ib student. [stop!]
there are so many things to think about, and do too. i shall refrain from listing them out because i believe it is only going to add on to the frustration i feel. ok frustration is the wrong word. too bad for my poor vocabulary. meh.
if my english is so bad, how about my chinese? and there is something next week that is going to severely test my chinese ability. o dear.
ok i can't be bothered to blog anymore. msn has distracted me.

there was an english a1 briefing. it just heaped upon a great amount of additional stress. not that it matters. all i ever do is omg i'm sooo screwed. and then i continue slacking. the same goes for my running. i always tell myself i have to run, and then i don't. sigh.
ee, tok, world lit. enough to kill me. and i still have my 21 giant.
as garry told me, i cannot afford to be lazy. ><
report book came back.
7 for econs. 5 for math.
6 for english, chinese, chem and history.
argh i don't want to get so many 6s again. not very nice.
i feel disappointed.

ok this is super lag. i got my results last friday.
nothing much to crow about. maybe econs?
english A1 SL: 68%
chinese B SL: 79%
chemistry SL: 77.5%
math HL: 51.25%
history HL: 70.8%
econs HL: 80.7%
well that makes it 6 points for all my SL subjects. i narrowly missed 7 for chem. ><
a 4 for math (lol super bad), a 7 for history (by rounding up to 71) and a 7 for econs.
36 points. well someone told me it was a respectable score.
sigh i guess it is. but seeing how everyone did better, i feel kind of down. ok maybe felt.
i guess i really have to thank God for my results. it could have been worse. it could have been worse for english, i could have failed math, i could have screwed up history somewhere and not get that 7 i so wanted. and by God's grace, He has given me a really good score for econs (:
the list for focus camp and dean's list came out today. well i guess there are some things to thank God for.
i don't have to go for focus camp. unless i count chinese, where it's optional for me. and truly really by God's grace and power, i managed to get into the deans list for econs.
honestly speaking, i never thought it was possible that i could get it. not after the 64% i got for mid-years. and it didn't help that previously i didn't do well at all in the various class tests. and to suddenly do so well for promos, and somehow allow me to be in the deans list. truly that is something that can only happen with God.
brings to mind the movie 'Facing the Giants' which acsi screened last monday for chapel. at the last part, coach grant taylor asks various members of his football team, what is impossible with God?
NOTHING! (:
it gives me such great assurance. watching that bit, i've watched the movie thrice now, and each time i can't help but be moved by it, moved to tears. i'm amazed at how truly nothing is impossible with God. and now, i have seen it for myself.
now i just got to do my best and leave the rest to Him for my next giant, stand chart half marathon >< i haven't been training hard, and time is not on my side. sigh. i need to stop being so lazy.
coy camp this week. oktobestfest on thursday. games day tomorrow. meet mr lim on wednesday. ahhh! haha so many things.
i need to start on ee, tok and ias. sigh.
i need to stop getting bewitched

right eagle eye isn't all that fantastic. not that i walked into the theatre with great hopes for it. plot is interesting enough but well, it smacks of familiarity. probably due to the fact that it shares uncanny similarities to another movie. but i guess it has it's unique points. well the whole everything-somehow-falling-into-place thing, i don't know. i'm pretty sure it's just me but i think bourne ultimatum did that better, although that means it's like a totally different context. so i guess cannot really be compared?
quite predictable for the guy to fall in love with the girl. and that's not a spoiler because it is just so... like duh. i guess i was half-surprised they didn't show them having a child. haha
right i need to run soon. tomorrow hopefully. and i shall try to do other stuff too! whee!
