"I'm the king of the castle
and you're the girl that I stole
Crash into me
Crash into me, yeah"

My god, I've never been so bored n tortured in school like today in my entire life. It started out ok, finally gettin that Phy p3 back, got 62 outta 110, if not for careless mistakes, i couldve done better, but tt's always the case. so over all, well, after moderation of 12 mks out of 310 that Mr. Mannan so-called 'fought' for, got 61. Tt's a C to an upper end. Hmm... its not excellent, but yea, juz ok. He says I should get an A in A's so that's very encouragin. I was sweatin like mad while he went through some of the answers coz the air con was bein used for the hall coz J1s were havin exams n all. i was like, so sticky n restless by the first period, imagine. pulled my trousers up to my knees n tie undone, sittin in class like a zombie. Then it was chem. oooh i did so well. muahaha. well, i pretty much gave up on chem b4 the prelims even got started so i didnt expect much. but i'm on the way to gettin an O instead of a F i expected, if i get 14/40 for p1. (mcq hasnt been marked yet, i mean, its only passin it through the machine man...) the next almost 2 hrs were spent on goin through the paper which i juz couldnt pay attention anymore coz of the humidity n warmth. so it was sheer torture sittin dow there doin nothin waitin for time to pass. i was so bored i was derivin maths formulas of trigonometry n provin sin3x cos3x n bla bla bla. but tt didnt help either so i was calculatin my prelim marks in all ways u can think of. i had so much time to do tt n still stone. u wouldnt realise how ecstatic i felt when it was finally over. but worse was yet to come with GP. its funny if u look at my script, coz i did pass my essay section, but failed terribly for compre. its v contrasting. goin back to class n goin through compre paper was v borin. n it was so hot again i was startin to sweat once more. i was again so delighted at the end, coz i was finally gonna talk to Mr Mannan bout University application, which we were supposed to talk about ages ago.

well, it didnt exactly turn out the way i expected, we juz merely talked abt my options n application process. i tot he was gonna tell me specifically about certain stuff, but nah. Mr Mannan is a great person to talk to, in terms of academic, or juz talkin bt normal stuff. v few teachers r like tt. he can talk as tho he's ur good friend n u dont feel tt wall tt usually exists between a student and a teacher. got to know some interestin informations regardin grades n stuff as well. supposedly 30% to 40% of phy students takin A's in Singapore gets A so its v attainable, not as bad as i thought. i asked if SA was lenient in some marking n all, but it juz so happened certain qtns were juz easy, some were too hard so there wasnt much of a balance. u'll b surprised tt our grades r affected by economy. yes seriously. As and Bs might b comparatively easier in phy cozthe country might wanna encourage more engineers in the industry n thus, set the median lower n all tt stuff. i tot it was only in Singapore, but not necessarily so. he does agree to a certain extent tt its not gd, but he has his reservations regardin this issue. a lot of eye openin issues.

well, he juz told me to keep lookin n observe carefully coz accordin to his experience, u can transfer fields if ure an engineer, but once ure somethin else, u cant b an engineer. so i can keep my options open bt business. one funny thin, he said he cant do business coz he cant imagine tryin to sell a product tt costs 2 bucks for say 10 bucks coz he feels guilty. he might sell it was 2 or even cheaper, resultin in losses. haha, hows tt? i found tt so hilarious but he was so honest with himself about the principles. he really is an amazin man.

yea.. so hot, so sweaty. i juz wanted to go home n sleep coz i couldnt take it anymore. i tell ya, if everyday until next wk's gonna b like this, i so wouldnt come to sch anymore.

i had to get started on my SAT prep. easiest stuff to handle, maths. i did the diagnostics from the guide tt i have to get it started. not too gd. estimated score 620 tonight. boy, i need to do somethin abt tt. n tts at the comfort of drinks in my own room, not under standard conditions where i hav to shade answers n at the same time answerin them. ah well, i can roughly see where i need improvements n start workin on those b4 i go for the dreaded verbal. sch ends rather early, so i'll come back n do three more test prep for maths n see how i do overall. its rather simple. i should b able to do 3 if i try to manage time properly. coz i take quite a lot of time analysin the qtns i missed n got wrong n makin like a table of need to improve stuff n all the figures i use for my own analysis. i like doin in depth analysis of these stuff. so if i juz get through the analysis part fast, then i should do 3 papers. another 3 for the next 2 days n i should start practin for the weak areas b4 i move on to verbal.

goin through prelims n preppin for As made me realise how much easier preppin for SAT for the American high school students r. some go in wif juz SAT. quite a lot does AP, tts somethin like As but much simpler, but man, theres like no stress at all involved. wat kinda life r we leadin...

Hmm.. okay, pretty tired n exhausted coz of so much inactivity today. o, the girl who commented bt my nose n eyes happened to smile n say hi to me, all of a sudden. tt was kinda surprisin but it was nice. lit up my borin day for a little while.
