AJC loves! Coffee, please! No, make it two. That's the amount I'm drinking almost every day. That excludes days when i'm too tired that i can't even drink coffee. Lots of people ask me if i regret going to JC. Here's the answer: Not yet. In fact, i'm enjoying JC coz it's really busy and tiring. Good thing is, i never seem to run out of things to do. But, it's really demoralizing that i'm not doing too well in JC. I'm not doing well at all in Biology! I've been failing my practical assessments and class tests but i feel that i did try (quite hard in fact) to do well and catch up with the smart people in my class. Plus, i'm not doing well in GP! I don't want to be labelled as the stupid girl! On the brighter side, i think i'm doing not too bad in chemistry, math and economics. Geez! I love econs! (And it's not because of the lecturer!) I seriously like the subject. :) I think i may not be able to complete all my homework this weekend. But i have to keep telling myself "i can do it! i can do it!". Yeah, it may or may not be of some help. I need to get back to do my preliminary ideas for project work. AhhhhhhhHHHhh! #AJ, AJ! Saturday, December 27, 2008 @ 9:13 AM
Violin!  I've just gone back to learning the violin! I first started learning the violin in 1996. That was when i was about 4 years old (how young!). I can clearly remember the scene of me begging my dad to let my learn the violin after walking around in the music school (and staring at the violins on the shelves) he used to open. I kind of recall promising my dad that i will work hard and keep practicing the violin if he allows me to learn it. He finally agreed after my persuasion, of course. One of my violin teacher left a deep impression in my mind. She's a rather talented musician from China. Being a musician, she really has high expectations of me and also given that i was her first violin student. After going through her lessons, i can safely say that i cry 3/5 of the time during her violin lessons. First lesson, she fiercely tells me that my posture with the violin isn't right. Then, she hits my hand for not holding the bow right and hits my left hand for ugly and inaccurate fingerings. Maybe it's just because i was young and stupid, i repeat the same mistakes over and over again during her subsequent lessons. I mean, you can't really blame me for having a quite lousy teacher before her, right? After posture and fingerings were corrected, she'd make me play songs from the suzuki book. Then, she loses her temper at me for not getting the rhythms for the songs right. It's always super stressful when i attend her lessons. Well, it isn't much of her fault anyway. I didn't practice my violin often. And strangely enough, she can tell if i did practice my violin or not. Maybe it's because of the stress that i face from her lessons or the stress i get from my parents forcing me to perform infront of many strangers or the pressure from my siblings saying that i play the violin like i'm slaughtering chickens, i stopped learning the violin in 2002. What a pity, isn't it? 6 years of learning the violin just came to a screeching halt. Then till last year (2007) when i was packing my storeroom, i saw the violin i used to play. It came in different sizes. I saw the one i used when i was 4 years old. Super tiny! And the sizes of the violins gradually became bigger. Then, i saw the full size violin i used when i was 10! I was absolutely amazed to see the violin after 6 long years. I finally decided that maybe i should resume learning the violin after my o levels. And i did. I'm back to learning the violin again. I have lots of recollections to do and my current teacher has been a great help in helping me re-remember my stuff. Surprisingly, i still remember quite a number of things about the violin. Haha. I'm really pleased with myself and have been practicing the violin almost everyday (since it's the holidays). I seriously, seriously, seriously hope that i can continue learning the violin till i'm old! Thursday, November 13, 2008 @ 10:46 AM
After Exams! I think I haven't been updating my blog since mid September. I was quite busy with O levels preparation and now that everything is finally over, I can finally put up a new post with lots of photos! Right after my final Biology paper 2, I immediately went to watch High School Musical 3. And god was it good! I love the film. The songs and dance are so much better. Hahaa. I just can't figure why some people just find HSM annoying when I think it's just absolutely fantastic! Okay, so after the movie, I went ice skating! It's so fun because I did not fall at all. Whoever tels you that ice skating and roller-blading are different, it's bullshit! I ice skate exactly the way I roller blade and I'm fine! Hahaha. Seriously, they are the same. Me and my sisters had lots of fun. That's excluding my brother because he keeps falling every now and then.  We were so excited and started off by taking a photo. And I was happily skating. My brother seems like he skates very well.. but he actually keeps falling and my sis keeps laughing. And he falls again.. and again.Halfway through, some people had to smoothen the ice in the skating ring and started chasing every skater out. It was a 10 minute long process and we spent the time doing some stuff!  We cam-whore, then wait.. and continued waiting. When it was finally done, i gave a big, wide smile.Right after skating, we had dinner at SAKAE SUSHI! The food was marvellous and we were making plenty of noise in the restaurant. I think we depleted the supply of salmon in the restaurant and burnt a big hole in my mom's pocket. Haaa!      I had so muchh fun today. The fun continues tomorrow because i'll be helping Clara and Yi Jie find their prom dresses! oooOOoo..Okay, it's like 3.30am already. The photo took me super long to upload, damn it! I'll have to go sleep already, Goodnight! Love, VALERIE! Sunday, September 21, 2008 @ 3:18 AM
What Old People Do For Fun interesting. =) Saturday, September 13, 2008 @ 6:35 AM
Tom felton well, i'm totally in love love love with this video. That super cute guy in this video is Tom Felton. He starrs as Draco Malfoy in the potter films. Hmm. He tears away from the Draco Malfoy in the film and is unbelievably cute in this video as he sings and strums the guitar. Ah! His actions in this vid has made me change my opinion of Draco Malfoy. Super great singing, and extremely charming smile. Ahhhh!!! I personally love the first and last song. =D Guess who my favourite character in the Harry Potter films now? TOM FELTON! No longer is the old Daniel Radcliffe. And Dan isn't as cute as Tom! Dan doesn't have a charming smile. This guy in the video made me smile, really widely each time he smiles too. Hee XD I love the fact that he actually enjoys singing and playing the guitar. Tom felton is really hot!! But i guess he'll look better in darker hair. His bright hair reminds me of Draco. =.= I love his smilee!! Monday, August 25, 2008 @ 7:30 AM
Prelims I did my prelims Add math paper 1 and chemistry paper 2 today. It was a really fun arrangement because chemistry paper was at 7.30 in the morning and Add math paper was at 2.00pm in the afternoon. Chemistry paper ended at 9.30am, so i had like 4 hours of spare time, in which i spent in school doing A math. Reason is because i've been chionging chemistry for the past month i've neglected my A math, so i was quite worried about being unable to do the paper. Perhaps because lady luck is smiling at me today, chemistry and add math paper was rather do-able! And and and! it is like the first time i've done an add math paper so comfortably and completing it within time limit. I'm like : "omg omg omg!". I'm so happy today because i don't have to attend school tomorrow! Yeahhhhh! But then again, i'll be facing my history and physics books tomorrow. Hardcore mug mug mug! I super hope i don't get distracted tomorrow. I'm about to continue facing my history book. I can almost picture a huge "BORING" word plastered across every single page of the textbook. I've got tons of history stuff to memorise luh! Damn sian.. I hope physics is okay because i'll just be reading through and then praying real hard that i'll still continue holding on to that A1. ( or maybe i'll just practice a bit of physics)... or maybe more. I can never be too sure about physics luh! I've to continue studying history and at the same time do some weight-lifting using my eyelids. Good-bye! =) Tuesday, August 12, 2008 @ 5:50 AM
My Chinese Results. My chinese results. I got my chinese results back today. It was just pure scary, especially when the teacher suddenly said that the results will be released in the afternoon. My heart just skipped like ten beats lah! But luckily the teacher was just joking. So everyone was just sitted in the classroom and just chatting until another chinese teacher came to my classroom and screamed, "Class, go to the hall NOW". I was like, "SHIT". I clearly remember (obviously, coz it only happened in the morning) it was about 9.20a.m. Everyone entered the hall and sit in single file. Then everything began with the vice principal talking about percentage passes and distinctions (it really didn't help when she showed us the percentage distinction being only 11.26%), and then another teacher talking about re-taking the exam. He was speaking so freaking slowly, i felt like i could die waiting. When he finally said, "The results will be released now", everyone in the hall went "aww/shit/crap/huh/damn/die". After arranging us to sit according to register number, i realised i was one of the last to take the chinese results. It was damn frightening, especially when you see faces of disappointment. It's like, someone with very very good chinese ends up with an A2 and then i'll start thinking, will i really get that A1? Am i up to scratch?. At the same time, i also can't and don't want to re-take the exam. It was so pressurizing at that moment i even started crying before i could receive my results. Then one by one got their results and finally, it was my turn. I went up to the teacher with unclosed water taps and then the teacher was like," wow, you don't need to re-take the exam already" and i went "huhh?", and my teacher was like "you got an A1". Hmm, that feeling was really sweet. I kept double checking to check if i was dreaming or not. But hm, i got the A1!! My best friends went like " congrats ah val!" Words just cannot describe how i felt at that moment. Hahaa. Another good news to share is that, all my best girl friends have achieved very good results too! Great job girl friends! <3 #Woohoooooo! |
