September hols is coming

September holidays is coming soon. It falls on the 2nd of September. Anyway, it is only 1 week of "break", and we still need to go back to school for extra lessons. Besides, there will be a lot of homework to "keep me company".
I had endured at least 2 weeks of constant tests. One test per day. I had enough. The teachers keep reminding us that after the September holidays, it will soon be our end-of-year exams.

Is school is all about exams? Many people don't think so, but to me, it is so.

Term 1:

Lots of tests

March holidays:

homework

Term 2:

prepare for mid-year exams

mid-year exams

June holidays:

Lots of homework

Term 3:

lots of tests

September holidays:

homework

Term 4:

prepare for end-of-year exams

end-of-year exams

December holidays

And it starts all over again. I am tired of it. Study, tests, exams, this is school.

National Day

I was right. The "celebration" for national day in my school was so pathetic. It can't even be considered a celebration. We just watch some videos about the SARS crisis and that's it. We then went back to class to discuss it with our teacher.
Furthermore, most students from other schools got to wear red and white while we were the ONLY school that was dressed in sombre uniforms. We looked like we were going to attend a funeral. It was "refreshing to see that our school is so unique". The thing I hated most was they gave excuses as to why we were not allow to wear red and white. The reason being, (quote) " We gave you freedom, but some of you abused it". It was only 'some', not all, which means that majority were all right, just a few spoilsports. Why do we allow our spirits to be crushed by these few? We could have continued with our celebrations.
I was really disappointed by this......

Happy National Day?

Singapore's national day is on 9th of August.
There is something terribly wrong with my school. I feel that they are not putting enough effort in the celebrations. We aren't allow to wear red and white to school on the eve of national day. The celebration is going to be boring, even the teachers say so. One teacher told us it is going to be "one-man talk", meaning there is going to be "lectures". What is this? It is the nation's birthday, why are the celebration lukewarm?
The same goes for our racial harmony day, the other schools allow their students to wear their races costumes while we can't. Not only that, the teachers made all sort of excuses why they don't let us wear. Besides we never really celebrated the day, we only saw a play and thats it. I still remembered the good old days in my primary school where we celebrated racial harmony day. I feel so ashamed, why this is happening to my school?
On a good note, I can get to enjoy 2 days of holiday. Tomorrow is going to be a half day for us, 9th and 10th are holidays.
Happy National Day! >.<

Internet dis-connection

I am so fed-up with the computer. It gives me lots of problems.
Every other day it would create problems for me. The latest happened 2 days ago, there was something wrong with maplestory so I decided to re-download it. Each download needed 8 hours, guess what, I had to download 4 times before I can finally play. Each time, there is something with the internet connection.
My internet connection is the worst. Most of the time, it will get cut off. I don't really know how to describe the problem. I am not a expert in computers but it was I who solve the problems every time.
My dear internet and maplestory, please don't do this to me....
