post a levels

Yay, A levels finally over for good!

It has been a great 2 days without thinking of exams, and not feeling guilty for slacking.

After physics paper yesterday, we had class outing at kbox, shopping and pubbing. Pool and arcade. So in just one day 50 bucks flew away.

It suddenly felt weird to grow up, or rather, feel weird feeling like a grown up. Over dinner at Manhattan Fish Market (which was definitely worth the money – we had so much food we have to play zhong zi mi ma to distribute them off), we were actually discussing about driving lessons. Addi already signed up for it, and prepared to spend a thousand bucks or so for that licence. Well, at least we know who to call for should we need a private chauffeur next time =)

Then later in the evening, there was a whole new pubbing experience at igloo bar Eski. It was ‘imba-ly’ cold inside at -1.6 deg, as shown on the thermostat. Not to mention that we were also drenched after it started raining which left us frantically scrambling for shelter along the banks and streets of Clark Quay. In that bar, there was mist even when we spoke; moreover, we were either sleeveless or in T-shirts. Yet we couldn’t resist the tempation to hang around a while longer in that chamber with its unique cool-blue ambience which seemed to be made out of ice to take photos. Anyway, should you want to try alcoholic cocktail, don’t ever order the Raspberry flavour. A cheaper alternative would defintely be the cough syrup, which probably costs 10 times less.

Driving and pubbing. Issues that never crossed my mind. These kind of things made me realise how we have actually past our childhood and perhaps, even teenagers days. Not forgetting our enlistment into NS very soon.

Then George and Sze han came over today for DOTA and movie. And we really lost touch, couldn’t even beat the easy AI+ maps.

Ok, like Ruiyang mentioned after boosing, this is what we call life, with all the autonomy, fun and wonderful company. If only life was just like this.

Anyway, looking forward to more post exam activities. And in the meantime, jia you bio and h3 ppl!

finale

I can’t believe it’s just hours to the last paper of the A Levels.

Just got home from school, after doing MCQs for the whole day, and later finding ourselves (George and Shuhua) at the parade square relieving memories of our council term under the stars alongside dinner. Especially fond were the memories during Orientation and Elect’s Camp activities held there. How we remembered the candle game, and Mansoor being the Statue of Liberty.

Thinking of how A Levels was our purpose upon first stepping into VJC 2 years ago. How we used to go home late for council events. And then A Levels finally started, and now coming to a closure.

How I might actually miss the times struggling with the stressful times mugging at the library, surrounded by all the hardworking people, constantly wondering when will the end ever come.

Reflecting and admiring the changes over the wonderful 2 years worth of joruney.

On a sidenote, all the best to those taking their final Physics paper tomorrow, as well as those Biology and H3 peeps!

gathering

yay, no more econs!

And it has been so long since we’ve had such a class gathering.

It was great!

the peak

woah, finally past the peak!

Now, everything is already going downhill. Just the last 3 papers before Freedom.

It was one draining day with Chemistry in the morning followed by Economics in the afternoon.

It felt like returning to reality after the invigilator said “Pens down” today after the Econs paper. I can’t believe I survived that 2+ hours in the hall living in my own world of econs, just plain scribbling all the words, diagrams and theories that flashed across my mind.

I’m just so glad it’s almost over!

I just checked my emails and plans, and realised how horrible it is to have my post A level plans clashing over one another.

The internship invitations, interviews, overseas trips, Senior Dinner and Dance, IT club and leadership camps, SAT exam all happen to fall over the same period of time. With so many things and so little time, now I’m wondering whether I’d have time to spent on the things I’ve always wanted to do and learn, the friends whom I promised to meet up with.

Hopefully we’ll be having a council overseas trip or something, and s55 on our malaysia hike, if still in time for planning. And hopefully it doesn’t clash with my Vietnam and Malaysia trips.

I just hope everything goes all well.

Sigh.

a levels

ahhh. we’re almost there.

But the next week will be hell. Physics Paper 2, Chemistry Paper 2 and Econs Paper 1 and 2 all at one go.

Nonetheless, in just a week, it’ll almost be over!

Persevere on! And then it’ll be endless to the freedom we get.

I can foresee all the autonomous overseas trips, gatherings, outings, doing things I always wanted to do, and… the list goes on and on and on.

And it’s kinda mixed feelings now that Math’s finally out of my life.

Could still remember how I struggled with you the whole of year 1 and 2 and never managed to get out of the D and E grade band until Prelims.

And when I finally started to get the hang of you, it’s time to say goodbye.

What a relationship.

I think I might miss you nonetheless.
