I Failed Additional Mathematics, By 2 Marks

Yes I might as well announce it to the whole wide world, since I'm not like the only one who failed. I just need two marks to pass, and damnit I will dig up two marks if it takes the rest of my life day. If only momsie could understand that examinations in FormFour are not as easy as it used to be back when I was in the lower form. :/
But still, that's no excuse to my failing my Add Math. I could've done waaay better.

By the bye, I got tagged by my sis, and this must be one of the most interesting tags I've ever seen! Although I have to resort to using Google Search when it comes to a few answers. :)

You cannot use any word twice and you can't use your name for the boy/girl name question.

What is your name : Rachel Ho

Remember Michael Jackson

Hello!
Ohmygosh I am so glad to be home! I haven't seen any part of home for the last 48 hours, and I feel so great to finally be back in the comfort of my house. :)

It started on Thursday.
PeiShe's dad dropped me home where I quickly assembled my sleepover-quick-kit and changed out of my school uniform before going back into the car and following Pei all the way back to her house. In Shah Alam.
And there was where I finally met Hazel, who is so adorable and doesn't really seem to notice the presence of a new stranger in her house (she's only 3 months old after all). She has a really firm grip, you know! Haha.

Well anyway, today morning I followed Pei to school, and after school went to MidValley to watch Transformers 2, which was totally awesome by the way. But it was friggin' 2 hours and 45 minutes long, and by the time it ended it was 6.15 and I had only 45 minutes to get back home before I rush off to my guitar lessons. But then I left the house at, um, 7.30, and reached home at 9.
So you can pretty much say I missed my guitar lesson to watch the Transformers movie. Which, by the way, was totally awesome. Did I mention that?
Oh and I only spent 10 bucks during lunch eating Japanese (way to save money Rachel!) :D

So. Yeah. It was a two-day-straight Fun Day.
And I never knew that guys could walk so SLOWLY, and talk so MUCH.

Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust

Officially back from Singapore! I had a fun time there, and I even brought my Physics and Chem reference book there to study give myself a sense of studying security. :)

Anyway, on the way to Singapore, we had Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and though they were awfully good (and awfully expensive), I still think nothing can beat JCo's Doughnuts. Haha.

Reached Singapore about 12am, and the next day went straight over to my cousin's house at about 10am.
Isn't she just pretty? :)

My largest ring yet, this one I am so fond of it because I bought it in an ultra-mega-super sale at Padini's.

:)

My niece Emily, who's picture has appeared in my blog at least a few times already.

THE GROOM Isaiah! Who was teased and tortured before he could get into the house to sweep his bride off her feet.

I got like a $10 SingDollar in an angpow package for acknowledging my new cousin-in-law as, well, my new cousin-in-law! All the little ones did. Some kind of tradition I think.
At night, we went to the wedding banquet, which was held under some super big grand marquee at The Legend, and all of us kids were wearing black at Table 6!

Ta-dah!

That's Kinn, Isaiah's beloved Husky. He's like the most adorable, friendly, fluffly Husky one could possibly have. Everybody adored him and he was like the centre of photography that magical night!

My souvenir from attending the wedding- a mini tequila glass! Not that I ever drink tequila but I, or someone else might use it someday!

And as for my latest shoutout today: Whee! Exams are finally over. The drag of the 3 week long exam has exhausted me, and many other students from Catholic. I pity the Form5's, who have the end of this week to finish their papers, and then Catholic shall be reverted back to its normal, exam-free atmosphere!
And now since that I am so very free, I shall work hard to achieve the goal for Pei and I-our newest mission: the DOUBLE A!
Ask me and PERHAPS I shall tell you! ;)

Growing Fertilisers

I didn't know how to do a quarter half the questions of the Add Math paper today.
The front part was easy, and I finished that like, in 1 and a half hours.
And then I just sat there. Waiting. Staring at my paper. And then I solved two questions that I initially didn't know how to do!
But that was it. And all that kept popping up in my head was "screw Add Math, screw Add Math. I don't care I just wanna go home". Because I've had my worst, and Add Math wasn't that hard compared to Chemistry. Because my Chem was just a piece of shit.

Bio was, well, pretty bad too.
What with the teacher who kept reminding us how many minutes we have left before we have hand in our paper.
You can FEEL THE PRESSURE I tell you. The IMMENSE PRESSURE.
I was just surprised my hands weren't sweating or shaking with anxiety and panic.

Well anyway, it's over.
And tomorrow shall be a happy happy day, because it's TheDayRachelGoesToSingaporeToAttendHerCousin'sWeddingAfterSchool!
Whee!
I LOVE SINGAPORE. :)

Spare Me Your Freakin' Dirty Looks Now Don't Blame Me

Chemistry sucked today
I flunked it
I'm doomed
I'm done for
This is the end
BAHH!


Rachel's Quote for the Day:
What is the (friggin') point of having a textbook if you can't even refer to it?!

Point proven: Physics textbook, CHEMISTRY TEXTBOOK.

Of Pimples and Ulcers

I promised pictures of my primary school to Pei and Seckwei, so here they are.
LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO THE SCHOOL GROUNDS?
ISN'T IT JUST FAB OR WHAT?! :D


Oh and as for the exams today-
I practically flushed Physics down the toilet.
But BM was not bad.

Thank god it's Chem and English tomorrow. Imagine if they had Add Math and Bio together at the same day!

Mad World

OHMYGOSH I am so tired of studying.
Except that, I didn't REALLY study for 15 hours a day like I originally planned to.
I mean, I DID study. While watching TV, that is. And listening to my ipod. And taking frequent "study breaks", and walking my dog, and playing with my dog. And texting. Lots and lots of texting.
But still, one can get tired of studying when one is SUPPOSED to be on holiday had not one's school stupidly set the exams to finish AFTER the holidays instead of BEFORE like THE REST THE WORLD.

Wow I just realised I used a lot of caps for this blog post.
Well never mind, maybe that'll attract more people to read this pathetic blog of mine.


Anyway, I think the exam spirit depression has hit a lot of people. Well, except me. I must be the sole person in CHS who doesn't feel a single thing about the exams.
Everywhere I text I get replies like 'What have you finished studying?' or 'Have you finished [insert subject here]?' or 'Will you study PJK and Civic? No right? Because no time, right?'
God, this holiday really really sucks.

Exam's arriving in one day and I am so not fully prepared.

Black Or White

I just won another 10 bucks from my sister out of a bet. Mwahaha.
This totally pays back for the money I lost to her during CNY (betting again).

I just realised that there are only 4 DAYS left to the exams.
And how I am so so so not prepared for it.
And how I have so so so many subjects I have to cover.
Not to mention I have to spare some time to think of quotes (aha, you'll soon find out why :D). Lots of lots of quotes.
