theres going to be long intervals between posts in this period....freakin busy...

a lot of things happened last week (the usual, tests assignments etc)

sigh

experienced first below-par result too...but at least this time theres a retest with no cap...i noe pple are saying why go for retest when already A1..but i have my reasons. I set myself goals and i will push myself to attain them. Honestly i dun really care about MSG le..i just want to improve my previous term's score i i won't stop until i do so. So 3ners will see me at the chem retest on wed...

haiz.

Wierd things happened at home last week too. My mum was scared i overstressed myself and kept reminding me to sleep and dun study so much, saying slip once in a while is ok...but heres the catch. If i screw up then confirm will kena scolding le. So much for being ok if slip once in a while. And i really hate it sometimes when you feel your parents are more concerned with everyone else's performance then yours. Or they focus on the few marks that you didn't get, when you got the majority of the marks. It like:

me: i got 36/38 for physics test

mum: wheat happened to the 2 marks?

me: -.-

mum: how did the rest of the class fare?

please lar...give your son some credit for getting close to full marks can?

typical singaporean parent...sigh

I also encountered an interesting scene in popular of wednesday... there was a little kid (p3-p5 i think) telling his dad he needs an eraser, then points to those more expensive ones. Then his dad is like why do you need such an expensive one when its just an eraser, then told the son to buy a cheaper one. They argued for a while, the son saying something like everyone else was using it or something...in the end they took the expensive one...and they went to argue over pens >.<

its really wierd. a kid as young as that is already so materialistic. It might be a small thing...but hoestly its happening. One good example is my sis. At such a small age they already start to want to be like "everybody else" and the want to look "cool". sigh. So much for being yourself. It happens at the secondary school stage, but at primary school, i honestly didn't believe it. I mean when we were in primary school, did we really care if someone had an ipod or soemthing? Gaming machine maybe, but such "cool" stuff? if it happens in p6 maybe still believeable...but at p3-p5?

sigh
*hears in the background my sis saying she wants an mp3*
