MY LIFE

Before I proceed on to complete my 5th draft for my PI, here's a short update of my life so far.


  • PRELIMINARY IDEAS (PI) 
  • OAC 
  • STUDIES 
  • RENOVATION OF MY HOUSE 
1) Preliminary ideas (PI) 
My PI has been rejected for 4 times so far. Some of my friends' ideas has already been accepted........... SIGH I hope this idea that I currently have in mind is good  enough to be accepted tomorrow. If not I would really have to spend a great amount of time trying to generate more ideas for my PI during the weekdays when I should be studying and revising my work instead...... :( 

Did I mention that though I only live like 10-15minutes away from school, I'm still getting lesser sleep than most of my peers???? I seriously think that I've issues with my time management man.......... 
I NEED TO STOP PROCRASTINATING MOST IMPORTANTLY 


2) OAC
I was actually intending to do a post entirely about OAC during the March holidays but yeah I was busy catching up with my secondary school friends and most importantly, catching up on my sleep. I only started doing my homework the day before school reopened? DAMN shouldn't have started work so late... Speaking of which I'm glad I finished my econs homework yesterday YAY ONE LESS BURDEN FOR TODAY LOL  

I'll start on my OAC post once I'm done with my FAs! (hopefully) 

3) Studies 
My subject combination is very different from the ones that my friends took. I'm currently taking H2 Maths, History and Literature and H1 Econs. I personally feel that it's very courageous of me to take H2 Literature knowing that I didn't take Lit for O levels and my only experience for Lit was during my lower secondary days (in which I totally hated it we had to study the damn book called Sing to the Dawn and I hated every single second of Lit back then oh god) 

But then ever since coming to Innova, I find that secondary schools have given us the wrong perception regarding the subject Lit? In secondary schools we're told to analyze the very fundamental things like why did the author say this why did the character do that etc but here in Innova, Lit teaches me more than just those. The books that we're told to read and study for Lit actually teaches us life values and allows us to question ourselves and our purpose in life. The impression of the books often seeps deep into our soul and it very often occurs to me if there's a character in the book that lives inside everyone of us. The book I'm currently reading is 'The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro. The main character, Stevens, really got me thinking a lot about myself. While reflecting about the intentions and reasons by his actions and words, the question that my Lit teacher often asked- "Is there a Stevens living inside everyone of us?" struck me that hey, there is, at every certain point of time in life that I act and think the way Stevens would. And regardless of how much we try to masks ourselves with our strong-willed and independent character, we can never deny that there is indeed a Stevens living deep down inside everyone of us.

Other than Lit, I've never taken econs before. I remember swearing to myself that I'll never take econs after the exposure lecture I've had for econs back in Sec 4 at IJC. However, I realized that if I don't take econs I basically have nothing to take except sciences (which I would NEVER attempt to take AT ALL cos my sciences suck xoxo) 
So I had to take econs which by far, seems okay. It's actually quite an interesting subject and there's more than just graphs to that subject. Never trust anyone that tells you that econs is ALL about graphs. It's not really ALL graphs there's a lot more concepts that you get to learn for this subject. 

I'm currently coping well for History considering the fact that I can remember some of the events that happened (which I never did try to remember back in Secondary school unless there's a test coming up or smth like that hahahah) As for Maths, I swear the speed of the lectures are insane. It's true how they say that H2 Maths is a very rigorous course and you really have to work hard and smart for it. (Maths FA coming up this tuesday and I've yet to study kill me pls) 

4) Renovation of my house 
Basically my entire house is undergoing renovation which is complete shit cos both my bro and I are studying and we both stay back in school till pretty late and to think that after we come home we can't even study in peace and have to even clean things up adds on to our burden URGHHHHHHHHHHH
Hate postpones man. A renovation supposed to be done last year postponed to this year. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME MAN SO ANGRY CANT WAIT FOR EVERYTHING TO BE OVER AHHHH 



OK I have to start on my homework and revision now DAMN SHIT CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT WEEKEND!!!! :(

The Five People You Meet In Heaven







Happy 2nd March everyone! 
We are finally on the 3rd month for the year of 2014. Time is passing so quickly and it'll soon be 2015 before we know it (and I have to start on my dedications again pfffft HAHA) 
It's 11 more days to OAC and you guys don't know how excited I am!!!! Judging from the pictures I've just posted, I believe most of you can see that I'm still quite stuck in the orientation period where everything was just fun and all.... 

Now that lectures have officially started, I'm starting to get real tired (even before the release of the theme for PW) I'm sleeping at 12 almost everyday and waking up at 7 (yes compared to many of my peers I wake up ridiculously late even though I live extremely near..... And the ironic part is I'm always the last to arrive in my class) 
I wish I was more time orientated. I wish I had more self discipline and knew how to prioritize. I wish I wasn't so easily affected by my surroundings. 


I'm supposed to complete at least a few tasks on my to-do list yesterday but guess what? I've only managed to complete 1 out of so many sigh WHY DO I PROCRASTINATE SO MUCH I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN'T JUST FOCUS ON COMPLETING ONE TASK!! Sometimes I get so irritated by my inability to complete a single task (and that usually happens only at the end of the day zzz) that I just get really angry and end up spending more time than I should to complete it. 

Okay whatever the case is I should continue to do my homework now it's 145am right now omg better concentrate! 
IT'S A BYE FOR NOW (can't wait for OAC I swear jsdnskjfndklfjlk) 
OAC means outdoor adventure camp btw :)
