If you read yesterday's (29 Jan 2008) The New Paper, you would have known a 12-year- old adorable malay boy, student of New Town Secondary School drowned in a 0.9m swimming pool in Clementi Swimming Complex during PE lesson.
According to the article, PE teachers did not stand by and watch until they had a head count that they found out 1 student was missing and it was too late.
Why, why are lifeguards so useless?
Principal Neo Lay Wah doesnt seem to be bothered by this.
Why did New Town even allow students to go swimming during PE lesson?
This has been the 3rd article regarding New Town Secondary School students, and in less than 1 year.
First a student stabs someone for money, then a student attempts suicide IN SCHOOL due to poor results, now a student drowns in a damn, DAMN shallow pool.
Why is it that New Town Secondary Students are featured in the newspaper only for the unfortunate events?
Why cant articles be like "Lynette Kwan of New Town Secondary School halved her prelim score during O Levels"?
In the newspaper it also said that the boy taught his siblings how to swim.
THE IRONYYYYYYYYYY.
Such mishaps shouldnt happen to 12 year old children who just entered secondary school. Feel so sad for his parents!

So I'm pleased to say I've graduated from New Town Secondary School. I've graduated happily with a L1R5 of 15 and L1B4 of 11. I'm beyond secondary school!
I'm grateful for all my teachers who taught me. And next time I'll tell my children, NOT to go to New Town. Hahah! Nah just kidding.
Anyway, the reason I revealed my results is not because I'm showing off, I've actually nothing to be proud of although I'm very happy with it, but because I know there are people who did better than me so its not that big a deal. And also because I'm sure people who are reading this are friends, not people who are hiding their crap faces behind their computer screens, also known as annonymous-es.

1) JJC
2) PJC
3) NP Mass Com
4) SP Media & Com
5) NP Banking & Finance
6) NP Business Studies
7) SP Banking
8) SP Business Admin
9) NP Accountancy
10) SP Accountancy
11) SP HR with Psychology
12) SP Events Management

Thought hard & long whether I should put my JC or Poly options first and I decided on JC because I think I study better with books rather than in poly. Poly is as hard or much harder by the way with constant projects & modules. Could have put CJ as first choice but afraid I'll lose my chances of going to JJ.
Hoping for the best! :)

(Is this really from a song sarah?)

Three and a half more hours and counting

Work is damn boring I've absolutely nothing to do & I'm paid to take train all the way from Clementi to Tampiness from today onwards at 815am sharp and do nothing else but surf the internet in the office.
I like the Tanjong Pagar branch because its not colddddd and at least I've work to do. Here its as cold as Japan and I'm so bored because I'm so free.
How wonderful. I feel like leaving but it'll be risky of course because its a 30 seconds-lift-ride down to my level. (Joey! 30seconds.)
I've been so lazy to read the papers I'm so not well-informed.
My mum had to tell me once I woke up this morning that Os results are coming out earlier after reading the Straits Times Forum yesterday.
I was so frantic I hurried to check the website once I reached the office.

"With the O-level results released in late January in future.."
- Reply from Perry Lim, Director of MOE, ST Forum Jan 3 Thursday
My mum had to go change the words "THIS YEAR" instead of future and those 2 words struck me back into reality.
I expected it to be coming out begininning of February but I didnt think it'll be so soon.

I've been deluding myself. I've been or rather am really hoping I'll be able to do well, hoping to see results that are worthy enough to enter JC. Heading to JC if possible will save me the effort and being in a dilemma of deciding which courses to take which I'll have much difficulty doing so.
I've been in constant self-denial that I will recieve good results. I feel like I'm in dreamland now and I can gain whatever I wish.
And so I just cant face reality. Not now, not ever.
There's this humongous blockage in my mind I like to call Fear.
Fear is my foe ever since, well, Ever.

Because I'm so bored in the office, I livejournal-hopped and chanced upon a livejournal in which the person said "Os results are confirm chop plus guarantee out on 22 January. Because it should be 2 weeks earlier than February 9th, the date last year's results were out"
Oh my goodness bloody gracious me, 22nd January is a freaking, and I mean FREAKing 18 days away.
I told my boss I'll stop work the day before I get results and so my last day was fixed 31 January.
Now I think I need to stop work soon to calm myself before I get the results.
Repeat: FREAKing 18 days

My mum is underestimating me because she thinks I didnt study early enough due to my procrastination till around August, and it isnt helping that I'm underestimating myself.
I know I screwed History up because I didnt study stupid ass China.
Other papers are not assuring because I know I lost marks in each paper.
I dont know what to expect already. I've lost so much faith in myself.

Browsing the different poly booklets isnt helping me to decide which course to choose and if I tell my mum its out on around 22 January she'll just make me worry even more.
Listening to worship didnt even help to calm my nerves down. Shit.
I'm shivering not only cos its so damn cold in the office but cos I'm damn scared. Maybe I'm being ultra paranoid but I'm still damn scared anyway. Shit, again.

Someone talk some sense into me. Please.
