Feels so good that Friday finally came. The first week of term 3 has finally ended. I think it is still all right. We only need to stay for 1 day for Maths extra lessons.
However, next week must be prepared to stay for at least 3 days. There is the Nafa test to look forward to. I'm going to "die" this time. We are going to the stadium to run our 2.4 km run, in the afternoon, when the weather is the hottest. I don't think I can make it... I am worry about my standing-broad jump and shuttle run, ad perhaps my sit-ups. After a few sit-ups, my stomach hurts.
8 more weeks to prelims...
On a good note, the school will be making arrangements for our Prom night in November. The class wanted it to be held on Friday and most of us don't mind paying $55 for it. We can't decide on the hotel though. I want it to be held in a 4-5 star hotel in Orchard Road. This is afterall our first Prom night and this marks the end of our secondary school life.
Best Wishes

Significant Day
7-21-07 is a significant day. The last book, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows will be released at this date. Yay!
I've been waiting for this book since Half-Blood Prince. Now, at last, the book will be mine! Just have to wait for 4 more weeks...
I'm not happy that I bought the book from a bookstore. I should have bought it from the post office, at least they deliver it to my house... There surely will be long queues... I bought the children version but the adult version picture is nice. Anyway, my father said I can buy the adult version after the price have dropped. I can finally complete my collection of Harry Potter books.
Meanwhile, I entertain myself by reading The End of Harry Potter? by David Langford. It is a highly entertaining book. You should read it yourself. There are some parts which is really
hilarious.
Another event coming up is the release of the 5th movie, Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. I am not really into the movies. I find that they do not capture the scenes properly. My favourite so far are the first two movies. However, I've seen the trailer for The Order of the Phoenix, I think this should be a movie worth watching.
On the downside, school is starting. That is the day I dread. School starts on Monday, 25th of June. "O" levels MT oral exams is coming.
Nevertheless, I've my precious book to keep me company.

BBQ
I met up with my friends at Woodlands MRT station before taking a direct bus to Marine Parade. The journey was long, about 1 hour. When we reached there, we couldn't find the NTUC. After asking around, we finally found it. We bought drinks and had to carry 6-8 bottles of 1.5l drinks to our BBQ pit. The way was so long and tiring...
After putting our stuff at the pit, we went to rent bicycles and roller-blades. I haven't really mastered riding a bicycle yet. However, at last I can do it without wobbling too much. But I don't know how to park my bicycle and ended up banging into the wall.
When most people had arrived, the guys started barbecuing. Some of the chicken wings were not cooked properly. The guys really sweat it out. They stood there, cooking food for us.
Our form-teacher came. Other teachers couldn't make it which was disappointing. We took photos and played water bombs. Some of the girls went down to the sea to play. I think it is dangerous to do that as it was dark.
At about 9.30, me and 2 friends went to take a taxi to Cityhall MRT station. We had a hard time waiting for an available cab. We boarded the MRT and returned home. I reached home at 11+.
0verall, the BBQ was fun. Afterall, it was our last year.

Vacation at Malaysia
We gathered at my uncle's house before going to Malaysia. Since it was a Monday morning, it was a smooth journey to Tuas. The ride was long, we stopped at an R&R to have our lunch before continuing our ride. I slept along the way.
Finally, we reached Awana Resort, located half-way on Genting Highlands. The weather was nice and cool, about 27 c. 11 of us checked into a bungalow, there were only 2 bedrooms so my cousins slept on the floor.
We went up to Genting via cable car. As we neared the top, the temperature dropped and the sky was foggy. Suddenly, the cable car stopped. We were all stunned, nobody dared to move. Fortunately, the cable started moving again. This is due to the windy conditions.
We went out to have a taste of the chilly wind and fog. It was so fun. I can't wait to go to Canada at the end of the year. The weather will be even colder than this...When we took the cable car down, we plunged into darkness.
On the second day, my father, aunties and uncle went golfing. That left the "children" and my mother. After breakfast, we had a good time soaking our legs in the private jacuzzi. Since the jacuzzi was only meant for 2 people, the 6 of us soaked our legs instead. My mother even boiled 3 pots of water for us. We ate chips and put soap to create the "bubble effect".
When the golfers came back, we hurried to take the cable car up to Genting again. The weather was even foggier than the 1st day. We can't see the vegetation below or the cable. It was really cold. Fog was swirling around. We went to Sushi King to have our lunch. I had fun shopping around. I bought pants and a belt from Padini Authentics. My cousins and brothers went to the arcade while the rest of us had a foot massage.
Then we saw that is was raining heavily outside. Rain plus mist came in through the ventilations. I loved the effect. After that, we had our dinner. The claypot rice was so good...
When we wanted to take the cable car down, we were told that the cable car was not available due to the winds.
We had to take a bus down. Since there was still time, we hang around the hotel. We took a few photos at the lobby where they showed the temperature and humidity. It was 20.2 c.
On the third day, after breakfast, we got ready to check out. My cousins wanted to go up to Genting for the last time but there were not enough tickets. However, as we walked towards our resort, some guy gave us tickets. My cousins all laughed and said it was heaven's will. We decided to go up and eat lunch before coming down.
When we reached Singapore, it was in the evening. It felt so good to be home...

Hmm...
Why is A maths so difficult? Of course, it is not call Additional Maths for no reason...
I have to complete 2 A maths past year O level papers. I can't stand it. It's a torturous process.
As I say before, I am not cut out to do maths or anything that have to do with calculations. Most of my chemical calculations are wrong and my physics is not that good, simply because it involves formulas and complex calculations...
My A maths especially suffered. No matter how much I do or try to understand, it is always a disaster.
Anyway, I am left with 1 more A maths paper and geography. By tomorrow I should complete them. I am still left with 1 week of school holiday and then it will be continuation of the nightmarish days of studies.
O levels is approaching...slowly yet steadily.

Updates: 4-6-07
I went to watch Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End on 31st of May with my mother and brothers. It was a public holiday. Actually, we should be going to the airport that day, but my father had a change of plans at the last minute. He was going to stay for another day at Korea.
The movie was really good, although the plot was a little "messy". There were too many characters. Anyway, don't want to say much about it. Experience it yourself.
3 more days of holiday lessons. I don't really mind them as we don't have to wear uniforms or school shoes. Some people wear sports shoes and PE shorts to school. We have a variety of T-shirts to choose from, there is the old and new PE shirts, class T-shirt, CCA T-shirt and camp T-shirt.
Well wishes
