Ever since I got into Poly (which means for the past 3 years including this year), I haven't been able to enjoy CNY period to its best, due to the clash with exams and project periods. How sad my life is. I remember how I used to go visiting with my grandparents and getting to know all my extended family members... *Sighs*

This year no different.

Started the day late, as usual, all of us love sleeping in. Headed over to Maternal Grans house for annual vegetarian printer.

Reunions 2012.

CNY1
CNY

Chinese New Year also.known.as the ultimate feasting season after Christmas, without fail start with the reunion dinners, whereby tons of food will be put on table for us to feed on. Lucky us *thinking of the kids who have no food to eat:(* I really thankgod for being so fortunate and being able to dine with my extended family. I know some of my friends who do not have the chance to do so... Oh wells! Be Contented & Thank the Lord in everything & anything...

Anyways, prior to CNY, these few days have been quite insane, slept at ungodly hours. ohno! Had only three to four hours of sleep because I have to clear up my rooms and kinda lost track of time while doing so. You know, when you get into the momentum... yeah. Can't wait to renovate the house. I was thinking of that while packing my room, like why need to pack so much when I guess I would be renovating the place soon. Anyways, having said that, my hardwork has paid off a little & finally finally, it's much neater & I'm satisfied with the whole room. Guess it will go back to its messy state after a few weeks or days but for now, Amen. hahaha!

And, a sneak peek of the before & sorry, no-afters!

I mean, since I'm packing, I might as well rearrange the way I pack my clothings. So, I literally took everything out! ZZZ bit by bit! No wonder I took so long!

O levels 4 years later

I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD READ THIS FIRST before reading this entry,
if you are interested in knowing my thoughts on O level day itself, or my grades? hahaha!
http://www.samanthawhang.com/2009/01/o-level-results-d.html

***

These were the only pictures of me on the Day of my O level results.
I was too nervous to even take out my camera to camwhore *facepalm* -.- But thanks to Alina who was still super enthu and who cheered me up making me less nervous, I got these 2 pictures. Good memorable keeps!

Ya Ting & I
OMG, look at my stone face -.- Totally zombie-fied.

n873485532_5570698_3488
Alina & I
Thankgod, all of us look much prettier now *teeheees*

Anyways, it's been 4years.
I can vividly remember the day I received my O level results slip. The before, during, aftermath.

I attended caregroup for a final prayermeet with the EastGrads at Angel's place. Dad dropped me off and when I got down the car, he told me something I would always remember in my life (and something I would tell my kids in future). He said 'No matter what results you get, please come home. We won't scold you even if you do badly'. Sweet yet funny. K I think he thought I would go die or something :/ Very drama. hahaha! I don't know, I probably would emo crash and die la k.

After caregroup session, felt so much mroe at Ease. God always work wonders! Went to school with Ya Ting. Arrived at the hall super early & we met Alina there. Don't ask me where the rest of my clique were, actually come to think about it now, it's a good question... Hmmm, I don't know, beats me too. haha!

So anyways, the Principal went on talking about the grades in General, Top Student Revealed, etc.

Judgement Time

Most of my friends got their results slip earlier than me because my register number was one of the back few :( I only had Ya Ting to wait with me because her register number was just one after mine. hahaha. So anyways, I saw some being happy but most of them brokedown. I don't know is it because mine was the last express class or whatsoever, but that's not the point because I see friends from the best express classes breaking down too. In my mind at that moment, I was thinking 'Wlau they cfm still do damn well, it's just not up to their own expectations' sigh sigh major sigh. Then Alina who got her grades very early, came to the both of us & she was super happy. I felt so happy for her. And, she being very nice decided to accompany me to go infront of my form teacher when it was my turn (:

So finally, it was MY turn

I saw my teacher's face. She lid up immediately, but still, I didn't know what that mean. Then she said 'Congrats Samantha, you TOPPED the class'. I cried immediately (tears of joy), all I could remember was there was many people crowding around me and amongst those who heard, they started congratulating me. I don't know why but I had this sudden joy in me. Yet, on the other hand, top the class doesn't mean anything right? BECAUSE if everyone else had done badly, so what if I topped. So I calm myself down and my teacher continued by saying I got 5 As. I was like WTF ARE YOU SERIOUS!?! I scored better than those people in the best express class? Glory to my own class! #winalready #notpossible #omgreally? YAY. That's basically my thoughts back then

Honestly, as I'm typing this now, I'm having goosebumps *facepalm AGAIN*

Anyways, all I want to say is, I can totally understand how the students are feeling right now and will be feeling tomorrow, because I've been through the stages of O levels. This is the final stage.

Goodlucks everybody! You can do it, face it with a 平常心 Anyways it's over, whatever you do, cannot change the results!!!

And, if you are normally a camwhorer like me, can you please perk yourself up and take more pictures. Don't be like me, loser. hahaha I regret totally, cause if I had more camwhore shots, I can blog about it now :/

Come to TP if you have a choice, because Temasek Polytechnic is The Poly to be...

Btw, I'm so nice, I dug out my other O levels posts for you all. Don't judge my thoughts or my English. It was back then -.- Secondary4!

Saying thanks: http://www.samanthawhang.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Getting Emotional

I just need a place I could run to, I space I could rant at. Maybe it's getting late in the night or maybe I'm feeling sick still, but I suddenly felt like I needed somewhere to escape to literally.

Sometimes, I wanna make this blog a little more private, but for long run sake, I shouldn't so readers of mine, please bear with my emo moments at times. I'm human afterall. I don't know about you all, but I wouldn't be interested to read blogposts which are filled with joy, media, fame, pretty pictures of themselves the whole time. This is reality. Welcome to life.

So, I'm getting pretty sick of things. I can't believe it's officially 6 months till I take the last paper of my entire poly life which also sums up my official tertiary education. I can't wait to graduate not because I don't love TP but I can't seem to find that joy in me because I am not decided on what's going to happen to me upon graduation. How ironic that sounds, I know. I'm not being negative or whatsoever, but honestly, I'm so indecisive that till now, I don't even know which course of study I want to further my university education in because I hate numbers and I hate writing. I mean, I'll do well if I'm really put to the task hopefully but if given a choice now, I'll avoid them at all costs.

And, right now, I can't believe I have to say this but I'm really no superwoman. At this moment in time, I really regret rerunning for Business. Probably, I'll take back my words a few weeks later or not, but right now, I really do feel as if I have made the wrong decision. I should have been decisive. I should have given it all up from the start. If I had done so, I can officially leave Singapore on the 9th of March and go for a well deserved holiday. But now, I have to come back for SL Camp and Week Zero. It's not that I don't want to do it, but I feel that I'm too old and not cut out for such stuffs. I can't cheer, I can't run, I'm probably useless like I have mentioned. See, shouldn't I just quit once and for all!

Do you know how fucking hard it is to cope with Year 3 workload. BSC isn't my main source of stress, my workload is. And, I have grown to realise that once my work isn't up to my standard, everything else, except God, doesn't matter to me anymore. I remember once I walked out of the examhall blank because I didn't answer the questions of the paper and I had to rush off for subcomm camp. I was smiling the whole night (only because it's camp and I had to not be selfish and spoilt others' high spirits and excitements), but deep down, I was being sore and feeling stupid, remembering how badly I did for the exam. I can't do this mental torture.

Wait a moment. It's not that I can't cope. Actually, I can. But it seems that everything in a Year 3's work has grown to be tougher. I don't know how others like my seniors have done it or how my current peers can do it. I can't man, it's too tough... I should think that if they can do it, I can. Where are my brains? Have I grown stupider with age? I don't know.

Let's not talk about the past but the present.
International Business, how come everyone understands the forums and the subject so well. It seems like I do, but honestly, I don't. Managerial Accounting, maths was never my thing. It seems like I have scored well for other maths subjects previously but do you all know that my notes are covered with teardrop marks, tears I have shed for the subject. It's stupid to do so, but that's because I care. Honestly, I lost count of how many times I cried just because I felt so damn helpless simply doing a tutorial question and how frustrating it is to not understand a single shit. Principles of Entrepreneurship I have to say is still managable. Legal Aspects of Business, is by far the most interesting & useful subject I have come across in my whole poly education because it's one of the subjects which ain't common sense but requires lots of thought processes and time to read up. I want to do it, I'm interested and willing but question is Do I have the time? And if I need to ask questions, who do I seek help from?

If you think getting a good GPA like mine is so damn easy, you try it for yourself. I laugh over it and tell others 'oh 的' but I know that it isn't. Like hellooo, it's gotten at the expense of my health and my time and effort. Do you know how many nights I have to stay up late just to finish a report or help others with their reports. The extreme was to finish a project at SMU till 5am in the morning when the report is due at 9am the next day. WTF were we doing, I don't know. I also remember how many times I came to school in simple shorts & tshirts looking like a zombie. Talk about image, I don't even know what you're talking about because when it comes to work, I just need things to be done and done well. It's either I do it well or I don't do it at all! I care about my image especially since I know many souls in school, I pray I don't see anyone I know on that day but honestly I can't be bothered on a day of submission, I just can't.

I deserve the grades because I took ownership for my learning. I don't know how I manage to do it. But now, everything seems so difficult.

Perhaps, I just needed to rant to feel a little better. And, it surprising helps.
Can someone tell me what to do?

I'll probably pray a little prayer and pray myself to bed tonight. God, what are your plans for me? I believe that everything happens for a reason. But still, can you guide me or show me the way to what you have created me to be?

I'll pull up my socks, brace up & face my challenges. Although the above words are from the deepest bottom of my heart, but I reckon I won't give up just like that. C'mon, I'll face the 'demons' & bring glory to everyone.

Peace!

Sick

It's not even the 1st week of 2012, yet I'm sick.


Officially down with high fever, infection of the sorethroat and flu.

Was feeling a little better on Friday, just a little. But, I guess I caught the cold bug again in the evening after the brrr cold windy bizshield at Basketball court.

Given MC and medications.

But I've got so many things to do and so much waiting for me. I missed alot of things in my schedule just cause I'm too sick to do anything.



oh lord, bless me.


Ciaoz, back to bed...

Drowy Medicines I've got here... *sighs*

Meetups

Wisma. Sony Vaio Repair Centre.

Took a trip down to the shopping malls in town. Since I'm already there & had time to kill, I went shopping. Little did I know, I was in for a mega shopping spree... @Typo

Apparently, they were having sales!
Good price cuts, I must say. If I had a car or something, I'll probably buy down the whole store :/ *says the shopaholic in me*

My Loots!

The sales people were quite sweet. They didn't have a big-enough paper bag for the hugeass canvas, so they did a makeshift carrier (for my carrying ease!!!) made out of their sister company, Cotton On's plastic bags. I thought that was really creative!

***

Headed down to 112 Katong for a quick meetup with my IJ Drama Babes. It's been a long while since we have met, wanted to meet up since the start of last year but somehow it just didn't happen :( And, time flies. Andrea & Michelle have already flown overseas for further education. Now that they are back for holidays, I'm so glad that we are FINALLY meeting up.

I always love meeting them because it's one of those meetups when I can be a good listener and Michelle starts with her countless of life stories to tell us about. Really, she goes on and on and on... it's never boring with her around!

It seemed like I was the only one who hasn't had lunch. All we needed was a good chillout place, somewhere to seat and chat properly. So I randomly picked this new place (;

interesting menu
besides the words you see there, what I thought was cooler was the graph paper, made me remind myself of Secondary school Maths days... *don't really want to recall that through!*

Here's what I ordered

394723_10150558064723665_706803664_10612588_783337526_n
Grilled Dory Fish
Disappointed that it came with Fries instead of the original roasted potatoes, tell ya I was really looking forward to munching some tiny roasted potatoes!
Nothing special about the doryfish itself. Salad was blah too.

Doubt I'll be back. It's one of those First & Last time tries I have :/

Andrea insisted on me taking out my camera, just to shot me eating. She said the one I'm eating the veggies look really cute. I think what she meant was, I looked like a freaking hamster munching on hamster's daily stable, veggies. HAHA #justkidding!

Headed all the way up to GV for god knows what reason.
Anyways, heads up, photo heavy!
