The written Chronicles

A level Malay next monday. I felt confident I could do better but the enthusiasm is oddly not there. A level H1 maths in 2 weeks time and I have consolidated as much as i know. PW is coming to a close and that should make me happy.

It has been a while since promos. Its very annoying if I want to apply for H3 (despite the red tape in the school) and if the system devalue the potential of the student just because it may jeapardise his H2s…which contrary to the fact that it is very complimentary considering the subjects are inter-linked but I just have to explore more dimensions. If i make a calculated guess, my H2s would be BBC, and hopefully a C for GP (which my year 1 GP thought that was lackadaisical considering I’m cut out to acheive a B grade and beyond). I have to confess, I still do wanna take H3 research paper MOE-NUS HSSR but usually the school says the the school don’t offer it, and the school will say no student has ever done it before and hence the basis for rejection. In history, Kar yee and Jon were capable students who ought to be given A CHANCE. I shouldn’t see why shouldn’t I if i want to take H3 history considering I got high A/low B for history for Promos (raw score) and had been getting no lower than Bs for major exams since year 1s. It may not be easy, but an attempt at it would constitute 1 more unit which makes me eligible for a scholarship…even a teaching scholarship which ive been eyeing on.  Red tape? Its no wonder people who have a chance in MI are really jaded by options. Those who can’t do well have limited options, in prospect of advancing or retaining of course. Those who did well (and exceptionally well), are jaded by options by the school full of skepticism. For all I know, my JC friends couldn’t have done better than me in year 1 considering I covered more topics and in depth. So I really don’t see why is there so much limitations when a student clearly has a passion for and has a minimum aptitude for. Contrary to the school’s programmes, they want us to realise our talents in CCAs also and that is quite parochial in fact.

But other than that, it has been at the back of my mind. PW and Maths have been dominating my life since. Facebook remains my favourite waste of time and I just downloaded GBA emulator to play pokemon yellow / pokemon firered.

And after that 14-19th of November….JAPAN..

and i will be enjoying life after that. I hope.
