><"
well. i sort of logged in to my accout about 45 min ago to blog about stuff. but i ended up being dragged off to do RV stuff. which is quite time consuming and mundane but somewhat satisfying. (if you really want to know i'm printing certs for AGM.) well. so now i'm printing certs, listening to choral music (current track is the "suite de lorca" i think. performed by Girls' JC Chorus in 2004 SYF) and blogging.
just a random thought before i start about sept hols and the silly HCL prelims. i think that the "suite de lorca" done by RJ Chorale sounds nicer. fuller. but they only did movement 1 and 3. so. anw.
sept hols nothing much happened i suppose. i mean. if you spend the whole holiday trying to clear all the backlogs of attendance that you didn't bother to compile for the whole of this year and then mugging your rear end off for HCL prelims, then there isn't really much that happened. sure it was a hectic week, but uninteresting. but at least you feel some sort of satisfaction in knowing you cleared some really really overdue stuff. haha.
which brings me to the HCL prelims. [let me take a break and print some certs.]
ok. we're now on "mate saule" by some latvian choir. anw. HCL prelims really just confirmed the fact that i wasted most of my holiday mugging for something that didn't need mugging. i mean. if you knew all the answers to all the questions in the first 3 sections (the only part that you can mug for) even BEFORE you started mugging, then the mugging hasn't really done much good has it. and to think that i was still feeling so totally unprepared 5 min before paper II started.
ok larh. can't really say that. maybe it'll help my in my O's. cuz i now have supreme confidence in my ability to remember most of sec 3 work. and sec 4 work. so i don't really need to mug so much anymore. but still! the hols could have been used for other subjects! ok nvm. shall stop.
about the paper itself. [let me take another moment for my certs..] ah. "soleram" by ACJC choir. can't really make out the lyrics [except for all the "soleram soleram"] but it sounds malay for some reason.
anw. the paper. um. the paper itself was quite odd i suppose. i mean. the killer parts that usually terrify me were quite easy. and i even managed to use some "ming2 yan2 ming2 ju4" in my zuo4 wen2. isn't that cool. haha. i suppose all the wei lao3 shi1's notes are quite good. too bad i didn't get her for the whole year. but chang2 wen2 suo1 duan3 was surprisingly easy. but the usual zong1 he2 tian2 kong4 was just weird, and so was the li2 jie3. which had some easy crap questions and some really weird ones. anw overall i think i can do well for this paper! yay! rarr. which is really more than i can say for all other HCL papers i've taken these few years.
hmm. what else is there to talk about. well. did go to mos with pay lossy VD klim and ian wern. i shall vow never to go to mos anymore. i mean. it's ridiculously ex, the food isnt' really that good (and is in really tiny portions). aside from the ambience i suppose, everything else sux ><".
even the view. okay nobody heard/saw/whatever that.
came home and quite wasted the day away. so sian. there's always work to do. like. rarr. and there's CTs in like. one month. and crazy projects and stuff. i mean. try creating a magnetic ship that can travel 5cm over water. that's 30% of physics CA?! whee. i mean. it seems fun larh. but i envision much trouble and much frustration. hmm. kan3 ke4 is the word i think. ok nvm. still in chinese overdrive.
wonderful.
