Band Exchange
Yesterday was Saturday. I wake up early in the morning at 6am. I dragged my feet to the bathroom to take a shower in order to make me feel more awake. I meet up with one of the bandmates and went to have our breakfast together. We are supposed to reach school at 7.45am sharp. But me friend and I was late fro a few minutes. Not wanting to waste any more time, I faster set up my instrument and start warming up with my instrument. By 8.10am, we were already at canteen waiting for the bus to bring us to Yuying Secondary School for band exchange.
When we reached Yuying Secondary School, there were filled with a lot of band members from our school and other 10 schools. There were very noisy. We faster moved to their school hall and strated to get ready for performing. I could see that Fisrt Toa Payoh Secondary School has a small band. Other schools have mamny members in their individuals school. We waited for our turn to performed, but to evryone's disappointment was that we did not performed well as we were nervous. Some of the band mates cried. We also went up to comfort them. We told ourselves that we are going to put in more hard work and more practices. Our competition is near too, so we need to put in a lot of effort in order to get good prizes.
Despite our band is small, but I believe we we can do it and get good results as long as we one.Perservarians will help us. Now I going to study hard for my class test too. I really hope I could pass my 'O' levels. Because I really do not want to stay back in secondary 5 for the next year or even go higher nitec. Since I already came to secondry 5, so I want to go a good polytechnic for the next year. Good luck !
despair for long
Is it wrong that a Chinese to be together with a Malay? This question always in my mind. Me and my ex-boyfriend were happy being together. We were together for 2 years and we broke off. Everything seems alright until may parents found out that me and my ex-boyfriend together. Both of my parents were racist. They do not like Malay guy as they feel that all Malay guys are mischievous and unfaithful. But to me , some of the Malay guys are different, just like my ex-boyfriend. It was a very grief-stricken matter when we broke off. It was around last year's prelim that both of us broke off. I think it was right that both of us had broke up because really had so much problems.
'You've fare skinned, he have dark-skinned, how could you two be together?' demanded my parents.
My ex-boyfriend and I were crestfallen. Both of us never expected that my parents would said that. It just like a sharp knife have cut through our heart. We broke off eventually after my parents have break us apart. It never wrong for a parent to break us apart, they had the rights to do so. But it was really so upset that we broke up. We have been through so much in this 2 years of being together. It was just like we took so long and so much effort to be together for 2years, but just a short while and just a few words make us apart. I believed he was also despair and vehement but he never showed out. I am really despondent but there is nothing I could do. Although now I want to focused on my studies , this was still a matter that really make me cannot let go.
Others may think that this is nothing to them but it meant a lot to me. There is so much to say, nobody could understand how both of us felt. Now all I jut want is to study well in my exams and do well in my 'O' levels. I would not lamented and scurrying away from this hard work. I want to prove to my parents that I could do it well. I want to prove them wrong that why others could do , why not me. I believe as long I work hard on what ever I want, I could get it. As long as i do not give up, I still have a chance. As long as fated , me and him will get back together when we both grew older. Now studies important. :D
STUDIES!! (:
Teacher was lecturing and reminding us that this year is 'O' level. It really making me even worry. I do not know whether I chose to come secondary 5 is a good idea, because I know my own character. I am really afraid that I could not cope for this year, what if I did not do well ? Teachers always emphasized that 'O' levels will be much more difficult than 'N' level. It is just like teachers injecting us everyday. From the starting of this year 's school, I had been going home at 5 or 6pm.
My parents were worried that I do not have enough time to study. In class, I am always lagging at the back as I am a slow learner. I always needed teacher to teach me again and again until I understand. I am very sorry. Soon my parents will get me a tuition teacher , by that time I will be keep studying already. Actually, studying is also an interest. I find out that studying is not a bad thing, I may sound ironical here but this i what I really felt. I always hated to go school as it was so stress , but thinking back it is not stressing at all. It is just depending whether I want to study a not. Choices and future are in our own hands. Whether want to study a not depends on us, and not depending on our teachers or parents.
I admitted that last year I did not put in a lot of effort , I was just plainly lazy. This year I told myself that I want to do well in exams. I want to go into good polytechnic. I do not want to disappoint my parents. They earned money just to let us have good education. I always ask myself why ain't I studying hard. It was only the second weeks of school and I already thought of whether I could passed my 'O' levels. I am scared indeed. This year I did not hang around with my friends that often. I want to study hard all the way.
Monday my food and nutrition (F&N) coursework is given out, kind of nervous. This week teacher go through the rules and regulation of the coursework with us. After hearing I was so stunned as this year using of internet scavenging was bounded. Usually coursework could scored will always come from the internet source that had already been rephrased. This year all the studies is becoming more and more scary and tough. This year coursework only can used our own resources and some research and basically just our knowledge. I just prayed hard that I could do all my coursework in the right track and reduce the amount of mistakes I had done. Lastly I just hope I could get some help in studies ! :D
Super Tired
" Run ! "
"5,4,3,2,1", shouted by my co-curricular activity's (CCA) commander.
We ran as fast as we could. The seniors were teaching us how to march properly.
Yesterday was Friday and we supposed to take video of the entire band during marching.
This year band is participating in a competition for Singapore Youth Festivals (SYF). So we are needed to have a video of the entire band marching in order to get into this competition. Before taking video, the band leaders trained us up. They ask us to practice some of the basic drills.
Yesterday was a sunny day, and all of the band mates were having drills under the hot sun. Suddenly the weather changed , it was an overcast. After we went into the shelter , all the band mates were being punished as we were dilly dally walking to shelter instead of scurrying. Our band leaders were scolding us that we do not have any sense of urgency. After all the punishment, there was a handful of band mates standing at a side lamenting about being so tough. We went up to band room to have practices with our band conductor, at times he was so annoying that nobody would entertained him.
When band ended, I helped the teachers to moved down the banners to the hall as we were having CCA booth. I went home straight after I helped my teachers. When I reached home , I was so exhausted. Thinking of what my teachers told me in school that we may have one more upcoming practices in a week, meaning we will have 3 practices in a week makes me feel like scurrying aways from CCA. Because I feel too exhausted, and stress enough. I am still afraid that I couldn't catch up with my studies.
Busy Day !
Yesterday, I went to Bugis Junction to find some new clothes for Chinese New Year with my friends and sister. But I only managed to find one clothing that I preferred. After shopping for clothes, I went to gaming centre with my sister. My sister loved to spend her time at gaming centre. She spend $30 on the game machines. We went to Swensen for dinner, we ordered quite a lot of food and it cost us a bomb.
It was a day that I and my sister spend a lot of money on food and gaming. After having our dinner at Swensen, we went to look for my parents. I even got scolded by them because I spend too much money. We were so annoyed by my parents because they keep nagged on us for spending too much money. It was a tiring day but also an enjoyable day as I get to eat nice food from Swensen and also relieving stress for playing at the gaming centre.
I started doing my homework when I reached home. I was so worried that I cannnot cope with my studies as this year is a critical year for me. I feel more and more tired as I will always need to stay in school for CCA and also remedial that will be arranged by our teachers. It is just the first week of school and I have been staying in school from 7.30am till the lastest 6pm. My CCA is concert band, and this year we will be going for SYF, it will be more tired as there will be more upcoming practices and we will need to stay back in school for long hours. This is really very stressing as there will be a lot of homework and I am afraid that I will not have enough time to complete my work.
Tomorrow will be the releasing of 'O' level results. I will be getting back my Maths result. I am so worry now, so afraid that I will not do well for my examination. But whatever is done has been done. So tomorrow will be the day for me, and I will study even harder and score better than my results that will be coming out tomorrow. Lastly, to all my friends who will be getting back their results all the best to you. I wish to see all of you smiling and also crying because you passed your 'O' level with flying colours and like what people say "Tears of Joy". All the best :D.
mend the mistakes in 2010 and target in 2011
Time passed very fast ,this year is already 2011. Last year 2010, I was struggling in my studies. I try putting more effort in getting better results for 'N' level . During the holidays , I'm always so worried about my 'N' level result. Before the day I go to school to collect my 'N' level result, I told my parents that I may not do well in 'N' level and my parents were getting ready to let me go ITE . On17th December itself , was a day that all th 'N' levels student went back to school to collect their 'N' level results. When the moment my form teacher called out my name, I walked up to the front desk. My form teacher told me that I did well for my 'N' level and I was promoted to secondary 5 to take my 'O' levels. I was so jubilant that I faster inform my parents. At the point of time , my parents were so happy for me as they always wished that i could get promoted to 'O' levels . I cried out not because I'm sad but it was tears of joy . I'm even happy because I felt that I never disappoint my parents. When I reached home, my parents start asking me that in 2011 whether I want to go take my 'O' level in secondary 5 or go higher nitec. I was vexed at that time because I couldn't make a right decision. I was worried that I will failed if I give a try to take 'O' level. After 2 days of thinking , I decided to go secondary 5 to take 'O' levels. Since I have the chance to take 'O' levels why i do not give a try . Today is third day of school, I am in secondary 5 this year, I just found out that student who taking 'O' level really must put in alot effort. Everday I would keep reminding myself to work hard for this year so next year I could enter straight into polytechnic. I also hope that my effort for this year will also make my parents happy and proud of me. I really could not believe I make it in my 'N' levels for last year. Realising that as long as I never give up, there is always hope in it. This year target for my 'O' level is that i want to score well and could able to enter a polytechnic which is my choice.
