Sorry for neglecting this blog for a while recently. I was too busy playing comp and coping with my SPAs as well as my O levels. Anyway, I know that my blog has already lost all of its readers.. But I guess I'ma continue blogging just to put some stuff off my mind.
I think I've been working hard for my 'O's, as that is my main priority for the rest of this week. I'm afraid for physics, but I gotta do some damage control right now. I guess I'ma just memorize some experimental errors and start to focus on improving my vocabulary range for Chinese by memorizing all the phrases and idioms.. I'm hoping frantically that I won't overdo it..
Had my Biology SPA on Wednesday. I guess I panicked, as I inserted the thermometer into the boiling tube the wrong way. Luckily, I noticed my mistake and corrected it. I think Miss Rozi was really kind as she kept checking on our results.. I remembered that I forgot to record the initial temperature for the Crucible method and Miss Rozi was staring at what I was doing because I had totally forgotten to put back the thermometer inside the boiling tube..
My results were fine, but the forceps were scorching hot as the temperature of the water shot all the way up to about 98 degree Celsius and I had to continue holding the burning peanut with the same pair of forceps ):. Anyway, glad that I had one Science SPA down and two more to handle.
Up next, it was Chemistry SPA on Friday. But before that, I was still recovering from the burn that I had obtained from holding the hot tripod stand during the cleaning process from the previous SPA practices.. Anyway, I guess my results were practically fine, and I redid the experiment 3 times! I wanted to attempt it twice but my eyes couldn't concentrate on the mercury level of the thermometer, so I had to redo it one last time to confirm my results..
Anyway, the most interesting subject for me would be Biology for this Booster session as we completed the chapter on Hormones. I think it was pretty interesting on the first day for the theory lesson, because we started the topic by discussing about stress, and then Kah Wai mentioned something about menstruation. And the next thing you knew would be Mr Goh asking our class,
' Why do girls don't have their periods or have irregular periods whenever they are overly-stressed? '
And guess what? That led to an 'active' participation for the class. The guys seem to be more interested to answer this question as compared to the girls.. Moving on, for our second theory lesson, Miss Rozi continued the lesson by telling us about the ovaries ( sex hormones ), and once again, there was another 'active' interaction going on between Miss Rozi and the students. This leads me to the SS lessons.
During SS, we wanted to go through the answer scheme for our EOY paper, and halfway through, Kah Wai asked Miss Noraini,
' Did you know that a female has 400,000 undeveloped eggs in their ovaries? '
AND GUESS WHAT MISS NORAINI ANSWERED. She said,
'At least they're better than the sperms. There would be millions of them in the female body and they will have a difficult time finding the ONE developed egg inside the female body. Unlike the eggs, sperms are blind. '
The entire class burst out in laughter upon hearing those words.. Who would believe that Miss Noraini would mention something like that in class? Anyway, she was quite upset and disappointed throughout the entire lesson, because she was talking about students being hypocrites and teachers giving out hints for the exam papers..
And there were Maths Lessons! Mrs Ng managed to cover what she wanted to teach in class, and I've just realised that she shared the same birthday as me! :D. That totally blew me away~. And for Amaths, I didn't really understand the lessons, but I guess I'ma catch up during this holidays eh?
That's just a brief summary about what happened during the Booster sessions. Anyway, I despise the holidays this year. They're like so packed with lessons and CCAs, I can't even find myself time to breathe properly and to rest well. Speaking of CCAs, I fell sick this week, and I could not even sing properly. And I'm deciding to step down from some of my posts soon.. I don't think I'm even suited for it, and that my standards had dropped terribly despite trying to raise them higher.
I don't think my choir is ready for the concert, but I guess we'll do our best.. I can't really turn up for anymore of the practices because of my hectic tuition schedules.. I'm not really sure what to do now. All that I'm hoping for would be that my efforts pay me off for the various obstacles that I have to overcome for this entire week..
I feel like leaving a quote behind for this post, so I'ma do so right now! :D
There’s a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasn’t ‘cause I thought I’d be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone. Because what if you learn that you need love and then you don’t have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever.- Grey's Anatomy
Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter.
Anyway, it's one past midnight now. I guess I'ma have to end this post and catch some sleep! Nights!
The past is like a handful of dust.
It fills us through our fingers, disappearing little by little.
I wish for one day, I would go back.
And in another life, I could do things differently
I wanna go down like shooting stars in the night time while the world is ours.
We won't cry when the ending starts.
And I don't want to say that it's already over,
and experience the exchange of farewells between one another.
