8th June 2006

okay i snuck in here to post this so be honoured. haha i'm actually supposed to be revising my economics but seriously, it's SO boring! thus, to wake myself up a little.......... haha

our english test papers were returned to us today!!! elizabeth and i were holding our breaths. i felt for certain that i would have done badly as all my answers were different from the answer sheet. for example, it's supposed to an illustrative essay, but i circled "compare and contrast". well anyway, i had 18/20! gosh, it was really a miracle. i guess even though i put down a different category, the examples i gave were relevant. thank God!

do you know what is so scary about this course? usually, typical signaporean kids tend to focus on major exams, such as mid year, or end year exams. tests and quizzes are not THAT important as they carry a VERY small percentage in the overall grade. this university however, grades us on EVERYTHING. from quizzes, to class participation, and even attendance! being kia su, i'm actually killing myself, because i'm putting in as much focus for the little tests and assignments, as i put in for the coming mid year examination. basically, i'm studying with zest for ALL stuff. crazy right? but no way, san hosea, am i wasting my parent's money! this course has created a ginat hole on everyone's pocket!

right, i'm going back to stare at my economics textbook. sigh, you got it! there's an econs lecture tomorrow! haha before that, we have to prepare for our musicical (music project). as usual, i've been given this funny role, the role of a deaf girl. why? it's because i look like a little girl. RIGHT thanks! haha oh well, there isn't much for the girl to do. she can't hear, can't speak... all i have to do is make gestures and then sleep for most part of the musical. the main part of this play is my dream you see, and i can't possibly act in my own dream. easy! haha =) (i've changed it to black so you will not be able to see what happens! will change back to this funny blue after our first draft has been handed in) hope we get good grades for this one!!
