The last step

If we were to do a countdown to the end of the O levels, we are nearing.
But are we prepared to end it well?

As i was studying the reasons that led to the fall of Venice, i came across a factor, "Complacency".
From that word alone, it speaks alot of meaning.
What's yours?
I could feel the meaning of that word in me, right now as i'm writing this for, i'm simply shortchanging myself with the time for REVISON!

I think i should really study the reasons for the fall of Venice well and learnt it well before that reason or some of those becomes the reason for the fall of... CHOY CHOYCHOY *touchwood!

Though i don't have a good feeling about my remaining examinations and those that had passed, especially english, i'm not going to relent given this critical moment! I wouldn't want the history of my falls to repeat itself. It's bad.

Besides, i can't let she, he, her, they, down! I'm going to PERSERVERE with her encouragements!

The long run is going to end in 5 days time. The last step, is up to me to give it my all. Jia yous! ZINC!

ZINC: "Would you be one of the jigsaw pieces of the Pictorial puzzle that depicts my life?"
A: "YES!!!"

In that situation, person A represents the different people i have met whom i have built my friendship ties, family ties, Teacher-student ties with, Don't you agree?
If you don't, i think that was because you had not realized that your actions had already spoke up for you way before that reply comes out from your mouth. hehe

Anyway, thanks for being willing to be part of my life! It's a great fortune to have so many small little pieces of your placed together to form that beautiful picture in the little red house of mine.

During the weekends, i realised the beauty and importance of these ties and bonds, especially kinship. From there, I hope none of them would enter the danger zone at any point of time. If we are now friends, let out friendship run for eternity, please DON'T forsake it. The lost or the sudden break in them is fatal, at least to one's motivation in life especially mine. (Sounds like a threat, yeps it is.) :D

All in all, I hope all of our bonds would stay as strong and as long lasting as that of a diamond, which can withstand high amounts of heat and only melts at very high temperature.
JIA YOUs! towards the maintenance of each of our ties and bonds!

The tire-less battle

It's the last day of MAY! not that she is die-ing. haha.
The Chinese "O" level Paper 1 & 2 are supposed to mark the end of this month.
Well enough, it did but at the same time, it left many of us in fear. (at least for me, it really does)

While i was taking the paper, fear strucked me at that very moment when i glanced through the questions. Even as i try and do those questions that seemed familiar to my eyes, i still pondered for quite a long time. Imagine this, I spent a whole 1 hour on the first question! I think i didn't really complete the question well, imagine the loopholes here and there and besides, when i did some fileing today, had a bad premotion regarding the marks for that section.
Oh god. I guess i can only pray for the best now.
Question 2, i didn't really finish it and my suggestions seemed to be out of point. That's bad enough BUT there was more to come for Paper 2!!!!

i guess i screwed it up by alot and that i can only work on my Oral and Listening Comprehension for now.

Hmm... though above all are the not very elating happenings but i learnt something in return.
SUCCESS is TEMPORARY. No matter what, FAILURE would BE THERE for YOU TO FALL ON, if you OVERLOOKED YOUR SUCCESS.
In Accounts; overstating of your stock/ Debtors? (current asset, you see...)
In ZINC's Mind for now; Chinese.
Better buck up now or else, more might be added to that!

I guess i had nothing more to say after today's battle. In short, it was not at least tiring, perhaps i hadn't put in the amount of effort needed， 但是它将会深印在我的脑海里，使我永远都不会忘记这较为特别的一堂课。

~ZINC~ (JIA YOUs!) for an A2! PLS!

"Good Luck. Best Wishes. All the Best!"

At this period of time, what's memorable for the past 2 weeks might be these encouragements by your dearest friends. Of course, those questions that you can't seem to solve no matter the time you put in would be part of what makes you regret and all.

For Once, during Mr Edward's English lesson, he mentioned this.
"... we would always say why didn't i do that all the time ..."
Though that may not be what he had said exactly but you see, as people like me aged, it's hard to remember things.
It does not meant that what he said was not significant but that my memory is falling.

Now, Back to what he had said.
Personally, "hey, that's me isn't it?".
The MYE that was just over had proved it all and that's not good especially for a candidate that is taking the Chinese O Levels in about 2 weeks time.

Please, don't allow me to screw up that important examinations as i got to score!
i guess i would PRAY hard and also PREY hard! :) haha

Lastly, for my Prelims, coming O levels Examinations,
"Good Luck. Best Wishes. All the Best!" and not forgetting JIAYOUs in your life!

Fear

Is it because of the evil things i had done in the past? Pls don't take those last items from me. Pls.

For these few days, whenever i am alone at home while my family is out and when my right eye starts to twitch, this is where my fear comes...
i prayed earnestly as my heart gets petrified and worried if anything bad fell on them.
Many times, these were accompanied with " pearls" down my eyes as the fear grew stronger and stronger.

I had never felt so worried about them than before and i guess is all because of the shock i got that sunday when i came back from the graveyard, after visiting an elder of mine.
The feeling of losing your dearest kin, was closely felt by me at the very moment when my sister told me the shocking news. Regret was felt at that very moment, i could have done....

For me, It's just hard for me to accept the fact that people around me are meeting up with mishaps and all when i am alright at those time. Perhaps one may thinks that i am ridiculous but i guess its just because the fact that they are the only i have now; my kins.

Exams were over, so was the hectic week!
Besides that, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to JANE!

Throughout the whole preparations for the common tests, my CCA were placed on hold.
Nowadays, those thoughts of graduation, passing out, sent shrills down my spine.
My English was always a barrier to me, now, it still does.
Even my Chinese too! Arh! that's very bad. Chinese was something in which i was previously strong in but now it doesn't stands.

Chinese O's are coming very soon. Those thoughts of going all out for Chinese doesn't seem as strong as the importance it is of in me. Even my language teachers too says so of me.
Haiz. i can't give my promise of being able to score but i would put in the amount of effort required at least. I PROMISED.

Apart from there, apologies for all the attitudes i gave all this while since the start of the term.
huixian grows because of your, her success in life had also started because of your too.
Thanks for being there for me for this term.
4 Achieve, much thanks for the cooperation you gave especially during yesterday's change of tables. It was a great job done! i will try to brush up on my english at the fastest spped i can to get messages across to all of your better in future.

To sum up, the little red house of mine was even beautiful after all this experieces and times spent in the first class term. Great thanks to all of your!

Today marks the 7th day of the Lunar New Year.
Looking back at the past 6 days of Lunar New Year, i am delighted that i am born and is part of the SIM family. They are simply the GREATEST people in my life. hehe, you would realise it when you come to know of the things that they did.

This is the year of my O levels.
Though i know that by whatever means, i have to study hard and well to score for this national examinations, my heart still seems to be lazing around in my past success.
That's very bad of me and i had certainly had a taste of the complacency within me.
The drop in my academics proved it all.

WAKE UP! i really need to do that, from the past memories and complacency for a better me.
The journey up ahead is not as easy as one may have thought to be.
For it is not only the few elements of hard work that sums it all, it also includes the FOCUS and RIGHT ATTITUDE in which one should have too.

I certainly hope that i won't be as complacent but be driven to greater heights in my academics for this o level year! Please.

Apart from that, the steamboat at grandma's house and the visitings had all and all made this year's Lunar new year a fruitful one.
All thanks to them.

2009 is OVAL! 2010 is here!
OMG, i didn't know that the year i had spent in was oval all along!
haha.

Yeps. the year 2009 is over, infact for nearly 2 days.
To sum up the year 09, i think it requires more than a day and of course, more than a post!
These days, other than chionging the remaining homeworks on hand, i was watching alot of the shows, lazing around at home whenever possible.

2009, if you would to ask me, was FRUITFUL, MEANINGFUL and MEMORABLE.
why? you may ask.
Well, the reasons behind it was simply the unique memories i had.

Last year, i was given alot of different roles and tasks.
One of which was the post that provided me with the UPs and DOWNs in school.
However, no matter what, this post of mine had gave me experiences that made me grow, learn and get onto the right track in my leadership journey and to me, that was really, a BONUS.
Another BONUS was the bonds formed after competitions in CO and others. I really LOVED that. haha.
oh.ya there's still GOLD with HONOURS award! haha thanks to all the hardwork and focus put in by every CO member, instructor and conductor!!!!

Now, changing my focus to studies, i am very thankful to all the teachers who had helped me and spurred me on to my latent potential in my academics and others. THANKS ALOT!
old saying " if not for your, there wouldn't have been the present me."
THANKS!!!!!!!!

Also, not forgetting my friends, teamates, mates, juniors, seniors. At many times, at many frustrating situations, i received your care, concern and unlimited help but all i gave your were my groans. Apologies for that. hehe.

2010 is like a year where all of us make our last preparations before our O's. Nothing should go wrong here and i really hope so as year 2007,2008,2009, we put in our heart and soul in building our foundations, making it stronger, day by day as we learn. we may fall at many times these years but now, before we set off for O's, Let's pick ourselves up and make sure we don't fall until it ends!

SO, may 2010 be a great year ahead for all no matter whether it is regarding studies, O levels, Friendship, Relationship or others!

We may fall at many times these years but now, before we set off for O's, Let's pick ourselves up and make sure we don't fall until it ends! Everyone, let's JIA YOUs ! and work towards our goals untill the very end!
