Common Test Is Over But The O's Is Getting Near

Common Test week has finally end. I had prepared the test by studying over the weekend before the test had commence and gave it my best shot to do well.

Even though the lack of time, I still studied over my limit.

For English, I had researched what is descriptive writing all about. Also, I found many useful examples of adjective, Idioms, similes and metaphors.

 For Geography, I tried my best to memorise all the four different forest function and detailed information as much as possible.

To conclude, I stayed up late everyday to study till past midnight. It was a mentally and physically challenging week even though I was down with flu and cough, I tried my best to stay as strong as an ox.

 While I had went to school for the first two day of the common test week, under the weather bow, I felt totally sick and weakened tremendously.

Wednesday, my mother accompanied me to the clinic and after the doctor diagnose that he worried that my asthma history might just repeat itself. So doctor had advised me to have plenty of rest due to the harsh climate recently and I got two days of off from school.

I was boiling mad that I cannot sit for the common test due to my sickness. Luckily I managed to recover by Friday and have sit for the last common test paper which was math.

*The view at the Esplanade were just too mesmerizing.

 Tongue was in my cheek, as I did not really paid much time for the common test to study.

Starting from March, I shall turn over a new leaf to focus entirely on my academics issue so that I can attained what I dreamed to be.

Time is precious, make full use of it, if not time will not wait for you and in turn you will lose out to others.

 As I had learned while I am sick.

- Time will not stop and wait for you, you have to be strong and stand up again.

- Family members are still the best, when you are sick , they take care of you.

- Achievements of studies = How much of money going to earn in the future.

 This coming week will be a packed and busy week.

Firstly, from 28th Feb, 7pm to 2nd  March, 7pm will be the World Math Day event, need to answered four thousands question correctly in order to get points.

Secondly, 2nd of March to 4th March will be having intensive lesson and then polytechnics trip in the afternoons.

Lastly, to reflect and improve what to improve from my common test results.

Downtown East Here I Come!

On the last day of the Chinese New Year weekend, I had waked up at 9am. The first day I did was to browse through my handphone for any miss calls or messages. I saw a friend message and she inviting me to go to Escape Theme Park today. So after much hesitation, I Melanie invitation. I hesitated because of some undone homework.

Then I had met Chee Hao at Toa Payoh Red Circle at 1pm. Then went to Bishan to meet Melanie and then straight away went down to Pasir Ris. Went to Pasir Ris and met up with Zhi Hong and Him. We then headed to the Escape Theme Park directly, brought admission tickets and went in to the theme park. Firstly we played the Daytona Go Kart Advanced Track, good driving experience, a better track than the one I had played at Genting. Secondly, off to the Pirate Ship, I had sat with a friend at the most rear of the ship and it kept on shaking here and there, when it was at the highest point, there was butterflies in my stomach as I felt like I was going to fly off the ship, my legs were trembling in fears, even though I was scare and afraid I managed to overcome it and succeeded without vomiting. Thirdly, the Central Pavilion and played a game by throwing the balls as much as possible but must be accurate in entering the blue hole and then I had won the game, surprisingly and got myself a monkey plush toy. Fourthly, to the Haunted House II, got one of my friend was so freaked out and scared that he kept on pushing me from my back and then I did not enjoyed this attraction. Fourthly, went to the Wet and Wild, me and Him were in the same boat and then after the whole ride we were both soaked with water. Fifthly, bumper boat, we kept spraying the water at each other until we got even wet. Sixthly, kite flyer, I got my whole body rested on it and the thing kept spinning and going up and down, but it was not scary at all.  Lastly, went back to the Daytona Go Kart Advanced Track, my kart lost controlled while I was turning with maximum speed but then it crashed into the wall, luckily the impact was not great.

After played at Escape Them Park, we went to the E-Hub Arcade and played numerous numbers of games in the arcade for about two hours. We then went to the Sakura Japanese Buffet Restaurant and had our dinner here. We had filled with our stomach with food until we are satisfied and we played many games, by adding wasabi to the food and the loser must eat it. Luckily for me, I did not lose of all games. We then took taxi home. What a day! 

Chinese New Year Week

On the first day of Chinese New Year, I woke up near noon as I had slept late since I was hanging out with friends until late night and I slept at 4am. 

After I had done my usual morning routine, my family and I headed to my grandmother house to had usual gathering, received many red packets from relatives and finally got to met my cousins since we were all busy with our own lives, deep memories flashed back at me as I was really close with them while we was all young children, we enjoyed each other company when it comes to playing, misses the old good times, I felt despondent while I was thinking of the past. Played majhong, poker card and many more until dawn sets. After I had dinner, headed to my friend house to play poker card and had gambled about 30 – 50 cents each round of blackjack. Played for a couple of hours, I was considered to be lucky that I did not lose nor win any money. As gathering and gambling with friends is not whether you win or lose money, its how much you enjoy to be with them and have fun.  After it, went home and had plenty of rest.

On the Second day of Chinese New Year, I was at home for the whole day busy settling my piles of homework, since I was too tired to go out on that day. I managed to complete almost all of my homework and a sense of satisfaction.

On the Third day of Chinese New Year, my mother and I went to a relative house at Tampines, enjoyed the special variety show that had showed in Channel U during the afternoon, super hilarious. So at around 4pm, relative, mother and I headed to Ion Orchard to shop. I had become the tour guide of the day, by bringing them to the Daiso Shop that originates from Japan, the shop merchandise are all only two dollars. Busy shopped inside the Daiso for almost two and a half hours, spended thirty eight dollars. It was getting late, out stomach started growling for food, we went to the food opera food court in Ion Orchard and had patronised the Chinese “Dim Sum” restaurant, but it not only serves “Dim Sum”, it also served main dish which constitutes of rice, noodle and porridge. The ingredients they had used is the one of a kind and the freshest because we can taste it on our first bite of the food. After we had filled our stomach with mouth watering food, we each went our own way back home.

Shall Continue with my Last Day of My Chinese New Year Week In the Next Post. 

A Recap Before Chinese New Year

For the past few weeks, there are a couple of reasons that I did not have the time to blog. 

Firstly, I had been flooded with numerous tonnes of homework almost per daily basics, I was crossed and displeased with number piles of homework stacking that had to be done daily. Once I had reached home showering I felt uptight of the amount of homework given and became very frantic while I was doing the assignment. But I comprehend that as an Ordinary Level student, the amount of homework that had been given by the teachers is for our own good in preparing, one step at a time for the examination. Many weeks had passed by in a blink of an eye and the upcoming common test is just around the corner, I had been well-acquainted with my life as an Ordinary Level student. So for this week, only one issue had centered my attention which is to study and prepare well for the upcoming common test, as it is a guideline to set myself an attainable target for the Ordinary Level Exam.

Secondly, the major events for all Chinese to celebrate are the Chinese New Year. On the New Year Eve, I had reunion dinner with my family at home with steamboat as usual. My family members and I had our dinner for several of hours from 6pm – 9pm, we were happily chatting and had enjoyed each other company. Straight after I had finished my reunion dinner, my close friend, Chee Hao asked me to organise a movie outing later late at night. I had booked six of the homecoming movie tickets for the 11.55pm show at Bishan Golden Village Cinema. Chee Hao, Zhi Hong, Melanie, Him and I went to the arcade first and then played till its about time for the movie show. I can assured and guaranteed you that the homecoming movie with the cast of Mark Lee, Jack Neo, A Niu, Afdlin Shauki, Jacelyn Tay, Huang Wenhong, Rebecca Lim, Koe Yeet, Liu Ling Ling. The movie had lots of scenes that will let you to laugh your throat out uncontrollably. After the movie had ended at about 1.45am. We then send Melanie home first since it was late at night and unsafe for a girl to walk alone in the middle of the night. After sending her home safely, Chee Hao, Zhi Hong and I had shared a taxi while him took a taxi alone back to Sengkang. Reached home at 2.30am. What a fun and exciting day I had.
