It's been a month after my exams and I haven't posted anything. I've got excuses though! I spent my time watching anime and playing my guitar. For the past month (mid-Oct to now), I've been doing mostly that. And recently I'm spending more than 5 hours on guitar, since I have a three month holiday from Nov to whole of Jan, until my school starts. When it does, I'll be in JC, Junior College. From what I hear from my seniors and teachers, it's hell. So must enjoy while I can.
Anyways, my results... Satisfactory. I'm not too pleased, but happy that I have passed all subjects. I have pretty low targets, because the higher you aim, the larger the pain felt when you don't achieve it (and for me, a high chance of not achieving).
We are graded by a different grading system from most Singapore schools; we take the IB exam, two years from now (for me)
Language Arts - 5
Higher Chinese - 5
Introduction to Human Societies - 7
Physics - 7
Chemistry - 7
Biology - 7
Core Mathematics - 6
Advanced Mathematics - 7
And there's 3 bonus points for ISO and POD(TOK), so a total of 41.
It says a lot when my LA has the same score as my chinese, though. Its time to buck up. My Chinese never improved, so it can only mean that my LA has weakened. It's also stupid that my Core Math (elementary math) is worse than my Adv math (Additional math). Guess I have a lot of brushing up to do.
But now is not the time. It's time to enjoy life to the fullest, the last holidays which I can actually enjoy. Next year at this time, I'll probably be rushing through my project work (Extended Essay) and at this time in Yr Six, I'll be taking the IB exams. After which, enlistment into army, and then the beginning of college (if I actually manage to enter) and work life. That means no more end-of-year holidays.
Damn. I hate growing up. I don't even know what I want to do with my life.
Anyways, I am uploading the pictures of the Shanghai trip. Wish I could go back to that time. Ah well. Anyway, expect 100+ pictures to appear. I made the promise, I shall keep it.
