but I'm sorry that I didn't go to Pioneer Primary today.It was because of the location and also because of the urgency to renew my passport.Teachers' Day celebration was fine today.We started the day with Rev-up.I didn't put my best effort and clocked 20 minutes for the run.Then, the celebration was held in the hall.Vivien Phang the 'chicken rice' kept disturbing me but I managed to remain cool. Mrs Thio won the outstanding contribution award.She really deserved it.However as Ms Agnes Teo was saying the contributions made by Mrs Thio,I saw many students with their head down or were talking.Honestly,I felt her speech was boring but couldn't those people show some respect? The microphone was not loud enough for me to hear an therefore I couldn't enjoy the show. Once again,the SC presented a High School Musical performance.Zac Efron is handsome but I'm jealous that he has been to close to Venessa.Well,that didn't matter much.Up next,we had the games between students and teachers.Nuqman,Kiong and I were told by Mr Ramesh to be the commentators for the soccer match.However,the microphones were not working and we had to use loudhailers throughout the game.I don't think that many people could hear us but it's Ok.The teachers won 2-0 against the students.In 2005, FC Phatt-Lion won 2-1 against the teachers.
After that, I took 185 home to have a rest.I didn't realised that it is Friday today and I didn't go for prayer.What a sin.Then, my family cmae home and told me to follow them to the ICA Building to renew my siblings and my passports.Today is the last day for the people to do whatever with their passports and the place was very crowded! I accompanied my siblings to take photo and then waited for our turn to submit the application forms which took almost 4 hours.While waiting, I was so hungry that I wanted to go Zam-Zam to eat. I wasn't familiar with the place and I didn't even know the distance for me to walk from the ICA building to Arab Street.My brother followed me.Finally we were in Baghdad Street but we seemed to be lost.Fortunately,I saw Masjid Sultan and we had reached our destination.We ate murtabak and bought Nasi Briyani for my mum and sister. We were settled with our passports at 7.45pm.We took MRT to JP and my dad fetched us from there.Then we had dinner at 815 coffee house.Here I am at home with 52 days left to O Level.I'll going to continue my revision tomorrow....because her appearance makes me addicted to study

I would like to wish all teachers a
HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!
....in advance.
P.S. I suddenly remember that I was the emcee for this event last year! hAHA

Then my gang went to buy bubble teas at Pearl's Delight before taking 185 home.As for now I'm taking a break for a while.Later I will be going to the CC to revise for Maths and Social Studies.I want to get A2 for Maths this Prelim.I know how much practices I had so far and I want to avoid careless mistakes.I would have gotten a high B3 for Maths Mock Exam if I did not have careless mistakes.I got 64.5% instead,which is better than mid-year.Ms Chia expects me to get A1 for POA.I really hope that it is realistic because I have been doing many POA questions and have mastered the Double Entry.I'm reaching for that.I'm still doubtful about Chemistry.Mr Patrick Tan gave me,Nazreen,Nuqman,Asyraff and Kiong many sets of exam papers from the top schools.I had difficulties in doing those questions.
OK,time to get back for revision!
...and I can't wait to see her!
Ok ,get rid of her off my mind at the moment...

This morning I had Chemistry practical lesson.For the first time in 3 years,I broke a test-tube but I got a replacement for that.We did the experiment to test for oxidising agent.Quite difficult though and I was clumsy sometimes.It rained heavily when we were dismissed at 11am.Nazreen,Kiong, Asyraff,Nuqman and I went to Jurong Point.They ate atBanquet while I went to Popular to buy stationery.I went home quickly as Raja wanted to go to the gym but he cancelled it.I had lunch and a shower before going to the CC.The weather today caused me to feel sleepy.I did Maths , Social Studies ,History and Physics till 8.15pm! Her presence enabled me to sustain my mental stamina.If she didn't came,I would have gone home earlier.At least I could fight myopia by staring blankly at her.Haha! Hope to see her again tomorrow.Nevermind about that because studying is my priority.I missed Zaki.I mean I missed the times I spent eating with him.

My oral exam had ended in the afternoon just now.It went on smoothly for me and the theme for today is family.Both examiners were male.Okay let's talk about the events before the oral.Lessons went as per normal for History.During Chemistry,Mrs Betty Chow taught us about condensation polymerisation. So far I can understand what she had taught.During recess I managed to eat rice though some bastards cut the queue.We did map-reading during Geography and had a Algebra test during Maths.The weather is wet but I still went to the mosque,praying that I could do well for oral.The candidates were supposed to assemble in the hall at 2pm and the oral would start at 2.30pm but I ended the prayer at 2pm.I waited for more than 15 minutes for the bus to arrive.At that time I was panicking that I would be late and I was the first person to be tested.I was so kiasu when I boarded the bus.Fortunately I reached school at 2.20pm.
I was the first one to start.Mr Clarke timed me 10 minutes for me to practise and study the picture.The picture shows an old neighbourhood with a group of senior citizens chatting with each other and at the same time,their grandchildren are with them.I begun to predict the questions that would come out for the conversation part.
Here are the questions that were asked:
(Picture discussion)
1.Why do you think the people are gathering around the table?
2.What do you think the child sitting on the table is thinking?
3.There is a boy carrying a plastic bag.Where do you think he is going?
(Conversation)
1.Who took care of you when you were young?
2.Talk about the memory during your pre-school days.
3.What are the advantages of being away from your family e.g studying oversea?
4.Is it important to keep in touch with your relatives?
I did not realised how long I took.I thanked the examiners and wished them a nice day.They replied and wished me a good day! I saw that the examiner wrote the number 13 on one of the columns after I had completed the conversation.I saw that but I don't know whether was it my mark for conversation of anything else.Conversation is 16 marks.I hope that that 13 sould be the score for my conversation part.I wasn't sure about my reading and picture conversation but I knew that I had tried my best.I read the passage with emotion and passion and emphasised on the end of each word.I am hoping for a distinction for this oral.The topic was quite manageable.The other candidates told me that I was the only one who took the longest time.I am sorry for that but it's okay.The oral exam is over and I have to focus more on the other papers.Prelim is coming next week.Treat it like the real O Level.It is a gauge on how prepared I am for O Level.My maths is getting better and better but I'm aiming for A2.
After that, I met Raja,Zaki and hamizan outside the HOD room.They told me that Eunice Olsen had not come at that time.I don't know why but I was eager to see her.Then ,Daphne and Hui Min sat on our table and we talked and reflected about the oral exam.

All I hope for this oral is a distinction.There is no second chance for English exam,unlike Mother Tongue.I will retake the MT paper again as I was disappointed for getting only a B4.I thought that I could do better but that result won't affect my mood to do well for oral.I had oral practices with Mr Samuel and Ms Chen at 6pm in school just now.I will have to be confident,relaxed and avoid arrr... or errr...hmmm whatever.My reading is fine but my concern is on conversation.I can't predict the theme that will come out tomorrow.I have to be armed with the little that I know.My friends who had their oral today said that it was easy and the theme was sport,which I would be able to talk more about it.
I had enough of making mistakes.I hope that the oral exam will go on smoothly for me.I'll try my best to impress the examiners and make my speech interesting.I'll be the first person tomorrow to start.I got 39/40 for Prelim but I'm not complacent.I know that it will not be easy but I can't wait to see the passage and picture.All the best to myself and aim for DISTINCTION!
Oh no,I'll have to go for prayer tomorrow and rush back to school by 2pm....

What a terrible yet memorable day! I had just came back from the city where there was many people congesting the MRT stations,shopping malls and also the pavements.Naz,Raja and I met up at 2.30pm and then we ate at Zam-Zam at Arab Street till we were full. Then we went to Parkway Square to take some photos at the statues.Suddenly, a security guard shouted we fled all the way out. We also went to Bugis Junction to meet Zaki.From there,we headed to City Hall. The place was crowded,roads were closed and the police ensured that the people do not jaywalk across the roads.Almost all the ideal locations to watch the parade were already filled with spectators.We saw Mdm Azlina with her husband while sitting opposite the OneFullerton.Zaki kept calling the 4H girls and we decided to join them.They were eating at KFC at Suntec City.Zaki had not eaten at that time and so he ate while the rest of us had a drink each.Royston, Kin Toh and Rasyidah were with them.After eating,most of them went home.Melissa told me to record the fireworks on my camera. It was spectacular but I wished I was in a better location where there's no building blocking my view. The rest went home immediately after that except for Nazreen,Raja and myself who wanted to meet up with Syahiran,Kiong and Zufaidi at Bugis.We roamed around Bugis Street to look for nice clothings and ornaments.At 11 plus, Naz,Raj and me took MRT home. I saw Elise at the MRT station. It was a tired day that the three of us sat down on the floor of the train. I didn't even had a glimpse of the parade.

It's National Day today!
We had our Cultural Expression yesterday.It went on smoothly but I was disappointed to see that people were talking while the Principal was saying the National Day message.My 4H class T-shirt was so damn small that I had to wear inner clothing.Once I arrived school,I saw the 4G boys who spent the night before at Allan's house.Most of the classes were busy preparing themselves for this event.I realised that the NPCC GOH didn't march according to the beat but overall,it was magnificent.We sat at the gallery and from there we could see those dancers clearly.Then,Nazreen,Nuqman and I participated in the Limbo Rock.It was tough and uneasy for me.Nuqman is 'vertically advantaged' but I managed to get 3rd! The girls at the gallery were desperate to see us doing it.We had to 'exposed' ourselves that time.
I love to watch 1H dance.They were very cooperative and enjoy dancing.I could see that all the dancers had done their best.I also met with ex-Westwoodians outside the hall.Maybe next year I'll also be joining this event.We took class photos and then went off.My gang decided to eat but all the restaurants were overcrowded.
As for today,I'll be meeting up with Nazreen and Raja.We'll be going to Arab Street again and then take pictures in the city.That's my favourite hobby!Then at night,we'll meet with the rest of Phattzion at Marina Bay.

Not much to say today.There will be Chemistry practical tomorrow.I want to be in Mr Poh's class. He's better and nicer than the starfish. Then, my gang will accompany Zaki to KFC.
