Overheard Yesterday while i was heading home from work, i heard 2 teenagers talking about JC stuffs. I was on bus 293 by the way. Well, although i didnt catch the whole story, i roughly know what they were talking about since they were just 1 seat away from me. This guy was telling this girl. QUOTE:' Liddat only can go SRJC, haha the lousiest JC.' This girl kept replying :'Can still minus 2 pts, can minus another 2.' (NOTE: to those whom are not very sure, CCA allowing up to 2 pts of deduction and u can minus another 2 pts if u've studied in that JC for their first 3 mths)
Anyway, I suspected that their 'dream' choice shld be TPJC.
After hearing what the guy had said , *Liddat only can go SRJC,haha the lousiest JC.' I feel like going up to tell them. IT DOESNT MATTER WHICH JC U'RE IN. IT ALL DEPENDS ON INDIVIDUALS. Its true isnt it? Sometimes i really get rather irritated when someone looks down on my JC or rather, i simply cannot tolerate SNOBS looking down at not-so-good pointers. Come on, speaking of the truth, SRJC has the best'-est ' teachers ...ahems not forgetting the best canteen food. LOL...
I do have friends going to VERY TOP-NOTCH JC but still got rejected from local uni. How do u explain that? (Oh that was just an accident.) <---nah try a better excuse please.
By to that topic. To me, i think
Its either u can study or u cannot.
If u're those who can study...Its either u are putting in effort or u are not.
Dont put blame on other factors just to 'coax' urself. U, are bound to be a failure forever.
I can say this becos, i was once a failure. No doubt. Not only did i fail once, i failed umpteen times.
Someone used to 'mock' at me. (Well, i think perhaps mock is kinda strong word)Alright someone used to joke by saying that oh ... u're so clever, can pick up easily and those craps. U're a genius cos u can improve so much. Hmmmmm dont u smell vinegar if someone is to say those to you ? Yes, indeed , i dont deny the fact that perhaps i am really intelligent. ( I belong to the 'can study' category) However, frankly, do you think i can really improve if there isnt any efforts put in? I dont think so. If i'm really so witty and 'smoky', i would have done pretty well in NUS, but did I? Nope i didnt. Why? Becos i didnt even put in a tiny weeny bit of effort.
Abit of my history to those who dont know me that long:
I was a 27 pointer during my prelims. (Btw,I showed it to one of my friends to urge her to press on. I dont know if it helps but i hope it does.) I didnt even pass sec 4 with that lousy result of mine. (Feel free to see my report book. I wasnt bluffing)My sec sch leaving cert only acknowledge me till sec 3. At that time, i didnt really give up. I went to 'camp' at the bedok and tampines libraries. Sometimes, changi airport. Of cos, together with my friends. At least, i made efforts to study instead of lazing ard at home. I am not a gifted child. I'm just like any other ordinary person who was on the verge of going to the wrong path. Heaven is fair. I got my share of results when O levels was released then. Most of you might think 17 is just another lousy result, but to me ,it was something to be proud of. It happened that my history is my only humanities, i had to include that ugly C6 in, if not i could have a better score. So wad if i didnt pass sec 4. I still pass my O's with a rather acceptable result.
SRJC was my turning point. (Who says SR is a lousy JC? Who Who who?)
My ugly History improved from C6 to A okay! My best subject. My econs is just an accident that i've gotten B. I should have gotten A judging from my capabilities. I'm not trying to show off. I just want to clarify and stress on the fact that, ur own destiny lies in ur own hand. Whether u are ready to put in the amount of effort. My maths C was my headache during JC times . Why? Cos i didnt put in effort to go to lec and attend tutorials!! i skipped all from J1 all the way to J2. However the latter part, i realised the urgency to learn my maths. Together with my goodily goodie good teacher and friends. I managed to clinch a D. Please dont give me a "chey". Becos, i already tried my best. Can you imagine i am in fact one of the worst students for the whole JC2 batch ? I was indeed. When everyone was on study break , i was 'invited' to attend extra lessons. Only 4 of us from my class i think. Liyan, Huiling and myself. I really put in effort then. I did all the assignments and tried my best to master each chapter. That D is the result of my hardwork. Who says you dont need to work hard and can reap all goodies? U can only do that in your dreams.
So, you choose ur own path.
After u've chosen, u need to put in efforts.
You just cannot blame all other factors but yourselves.
Deceiving leads you nowhere.
SRJC goodie. HA.
*Eh for those who are really hardworking but didnt get good reults. I can only say sorry , please go the SMART way. The studying mtds might be wrong.
You dont memorise. You understand.
KTV @ woodlands together with Jx and Audrey . LOL , i kicked off with saddie songs and eh , i didnt really zi-high for that session.
Na.... The view of the whole river angpao. Hahaha it looks like as tho a forest of trees on fire to me. Laughsss.Those tourists staying at Swissotel gets the best view as usual.
Initially i wanted to watch my cuzzie's performance but i've gotten the timing mixed up. While I'm happily enjoying my dinner at the I-known-it-to-be 'bamboo eatery'. Anyway, it was not exactly a wasted trip as i've gotten my pic with my rattie. Oh and we saw this 'Fortune God' walking ard. Then i asked JX go touch him so can HUAT HUAT HUAT for the year. He really did. LOL, but his hand was yet after touching the cai shen ye. (Cos that person was perspiring profusely.) Then there is this eh ... golden tree? Everyone was throwing at the 'words/bells' that were hanging on the tree. (Also part of the donation tactic for the organisers. Clever way i thought.)
Decided to walk to somewhere whereby there are lesser crowd and yet at the same time we are able to catch the fireworks. We walked kinda aimlessly till we reached the Merlion Walk. Fireworks = Goodie. Too bad my cammie is not a PRO SLR . Ha. I didnt know there would be a fireworks display, so its kinda a bonus to be able to catch it. =D
Had a stroll back to Clarke Quay since we had a heavy dinner earlier on.
Had dinner @ a Teochew Restuarant with my family. My auntie booked table for 10 to accomodate us. Food was delicious. I dont mind going there every year. Ha.
