Time seemed to crawl and the long awaiting thurs (3May) seemed to be not nearing.. I have been staying at home these days and this is driving me mad. I'M BORED.. Most of my friends are still in the mids of their exam and of course, i wont go and disturb them. So basically for these few days, my time was spent on video- watching and the slow motion kind of stats revision. SIANZZZ.. I need a life man.. Booo..

Watched Chungking Express 2 days ago and the song California Dreamin' is still stuck in my brain. This song really brings back a lot of memories. I can still remember how Miss Song used to play this song in every music lesson and made us sing. -_-" not an easy song and the first time we sang along with the music was really bad - our key was terribly off and the coordination was real bad. Everyone laughed their heads off after that trial. and since after, our doors were always shut during music lesson. But that was also the first song we performed on stage during teachers' day. haha.. of cos, our performance was a success. =) The 2nd time when we got onto the stage was during speech day. This time was a dance and the song played was YMCA. And I was arranged to stand in the middle of the stage. haha.. come to think about it, that was so embarrassing. But those days were fun lah. =)

I used to have many ECAs as well- I was a tracker. I was a high jumper (I was a three years champ!). I was a netballer and I am still a netballer. I was a librarian. I was a rope skippper. I was a young science club member. And I used to have the aspiration of becoming a botanist when I grow up. Boo~ But I dont harbour that thought anymore. My grades were the lousiest in class but it doesn't matter to me then. Having fun was the most important.

And obviously, I didnt do well for my PSLE with an aggregate score of 210 only and I landed in Northland after that. Continue my netball journey there and that marked the start of my nightmare. Trainings were torturous, Mr Bok was damn fierce, Mrs Chong was controlling hard on us with the rule set: no dating allowed. Some subject teachers used to find fault on the us, saying that we are always using netball as an excuse for the lousy grades and not submitting homeworks on time. And that was when I have decided to work hard, to get good grades so as to shut their mouths. Indeed, within half a year, I was the top few in class. I managed to get into the first class but I made a sacrifice as well. no.8 a number dear to me always. From then, my life began to be occupied with only netball and studies and nth else. That 2 years (sec 3 and 4), I treated it as a form of punishment for myself. People asked me,"why am I always working so hard for my studies? You never seemed to not do well for any tests" But none of them know, I am earning my chance to attend those netball trainings. I have to obtain good grades, show it to my mum and have her consent to attend those trainings. Since then, I know this logic: No matter what I want, I have to use my hard work to earn it. There's no free lunch on earth. And I hate it when people are waiting for other people to spoon feed them. When people think of Northland, the first thing that came to their minds are ah lians and ah bengs. Students from that school are bad. But it is this notorious school, that transformed me. I am proud to say that I was from Northland, where the netball used to be top in North zone. and thanks to all the teachers who have helped me during those 4 years. I really appreciate that. I can imagine the shocks they will have if i tell them all these over the mahjong table. =D
