ITS 2 DAYS TO UMAT!!!!!!
and i am not stressed.

compared to people in my school sitting the test, i think im about the only person who's finished the online package (excluding those people who didnt go for those!)
but
compared to people from top private schools.................some of them finished practically 2 weeks before.

okok i digress. but im still worried about things like not finishing the section papers on time. esp my section 1 mark. etc etc. AHH!

this term all the classrooms have been fitted with airconditioning + reverse cycle (aka heaters!!) so everyday, the classrooms are 24-28degs while its 11-14 degs outside! brainfreeze

on the sunny side:
we're having 炸鱼片米粉 for dinner tonight O_O hungryyy!
maybe thats the only positive of my day.

i find that ive been dozing off a lot during the day..its like im living in a bubble. or maybe its just reality that classes are mostly revision/self-study, its so boring :(

so tonight. its my final preps for umat (was supposed to be last night but i was so out of it - concentration needed) and tmrw will be watch tv, play piano etc hahahhahahaha. whee(:

goodluck to everyone who has promos soon<3

TOK PRESENTATION OVERRRRRRRRRRRR!!

mannnnn....no more tok for..the rest of my life! rahahahahaha.
Dont know why im so happy. maybe its just because "no more tok ever" is now a fact! ahhaa
but i have doubts how well i actually did. when i was filling in the self-evaluation form, i dont think i really hit critera c and d well enough. I hope i did ok for criteria a and b.

and i also hope that this presentation can seriously pull up my tok essay marks! so im hoping for an A? ok maybe thats impossible. the markscheme is crazy. 18-20 A, 15-17 B, 13-14 C, 12 etc D
so i might be looking at a C. even though i ambitiously put down an A for my self-evaluation (hoping).
anyhow, extended essay is due monday. have to print out 2 copies of 35pgs(4000w ++!) I also dream of this to be a factor which enhances the 3 bonus marks i get, contributing to my overall IB score out of 45. (the other 42 marks max are 7 marks each from 6 subjects, one which i have completed(: )
<33!
and dad's cooking prawn mee tonight RAWRRRRR.

so here we go again

Im in another one of those in between moods, where I can just stare at nothing in particular and my rate of productivity FALLS.
WL is finally due (or too soon!) tmrw 9am through turnitin. and im still editing my essays! hmmms. I call this last minute.
I guess me and my life's been pretty weird these few days...
and then I always get the blame for whatever goes wrong...even if its just that mum can't find the pizza order i placed, which was supposed to appear on the screen at dominos.
Im used to that but, yesterday was twice.

however,
its the first time I took the bread and cup and church this morning.
I feel lifted.
We were a little late today and when we stepped in the little kids were singing the songs they had at the kid's club. I heard both songs on the day i helped out. Pretty cute, and made me realize that God will always be there for all of us, and there's no need to get frustrated over nagging parents bringing up things that happened yesterday.
and the sermon about God continually blessing people even though they keep deceiving others or getting deceived by others. it shows God wants us to love everyone, regardless of our sins.
the bible passage itself was quite funny in the sense that they just kept having children. Genesis chapter 29-31 and on. about Jacob, Laban and his daughters Leah and Rachel.

(: go jessicaaaaaaaa. finish wl as soon as possible (:

this little light of mine

I think badminton is getting better and better. Its actually quite fun especially when you have to play with/against funny people. I'll probably come back and play socials even after I get all my Cas Hours. Which sucks because i still need another 4 hours = 2 sessions at least, and I have to go to badminton on friday nights during the school term. Its ok...its only 2 sessions right? I can do that.
A bit aching today, because yesterday I was playing and playing. Fun leh..and im getting better i think ;)
On wed I went to help out at church's kid's club. This holiday program thing they set up for mon-fri of this week. The kids were pretty cute. I can't seem to forget this song which they sang. (I also sang it at church when i was a kid...young days haha)
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!

Shine the light over (place) Brisbane/Singapore/Taiwan
I'm gonna let it shine x3
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!

So i should be more optimistic about Getting an IB41+ (November), Umat exam(in 3 weeks), Extended Essay deadline (2 weeks), Tok presentation (omg, in 4 days!!AHHHH), English WL essays due (in 2 days!!!) because I know God is shining the light before me.
Now, what have I been doing all day.................
er TRYING to do WL. crudd.
better get my act together these last few days of holidays. Finish off my WL essays, rehearse tok pres myself and make final changes, study for Bio option E, Finish off EE, while doing all the Umat practice papers left!!
omg, confidence and focus!
Good luck to everyone else stressing
and oh. did I forget, chem prac due first day back in 3 days!!!!!!
and the lousy new timetable, which means that I dont have instep first thing in the morning, I have a lesson first then instep. but what's the point! You DON'T DO ANYTHING in instep, and it gives students with traffic issues a chance to be late! Horrible set up.......the new bus network isnt any more efficient than the old one. hmph.
ok FOCUS!!

absolutely normal uh....day

today is one of those days where there is a serious limit to my creative ability. Without that...im sure in for some low IQ time.

Was at state library from 12-4pm. doing tok lah. what else. but lucky i told my presentation partner to bring her laptop so she did all the typing. ok since last friday it was all me. and I sacrificed my shoulder with that bulk. i could hardly think today...speaking in a monotone and being hypnotized by the city/river view outside of state library meeting room glass panels. seriously, why do all the places we work on tok have glass panels for you to stare through. on friday it was the great glass windows of starbucks and queenst.mall, where we suffered the passive smoking. (and a UMAT drill says that passive smoking --> low IQ)

talking about UMAT, last night i said i was going to do a drill, i ended up doing one qn and leaving it for the morning. what motivation.

spent most of tonight watching tv.. House was on (I haven't seen it in ages) and he spent the entire show looking for a tick on this girl...turns out it was in the most



internet is driving me crazy. SO SLOW! damn. plus mum on the phone nearly the whole night. THIS IS MY LAST STRAND.

Badminton Social #2

RAWR. I realize im getting better and better! ok only a little bit better today, haha. First round was quite tense, cos there was this old china guy and this caucasian boy and us siblings. Then the caucasian boy kept tackling my brother because, for some reason my brother was hitting really softly. And noone was hitting in my direction! oh, and when we reached it was so dark because the electricity wasn't on, so they were setting up spotlights. So our court was still pretty dark and hard to see then.

I thought there was a break between switching courts but apparently not. And while I was resting when I wasn't supposed to, I noticed that there were lots of gay uni guys and old women playing. Totally different from the friday night crew. Plus the grimy lighting, how fun.

my bro's mansfield friend fergus came along. Plays pretty well. 3rd round Eugene (little 10th grader from my school) on my side. my brother and fergus on other side. Pretty fun. except eugene kept putting his raquet in between his legs, and directing people to serve and stuff.

oh wells. it feels like i played less today, but no breaks! Hope Im not aching all over tmrw, like a rerun of what happened on friday. However, I like the friday session better. Maybe just because the people are a lot nicer.
and ray is just weird. he still hasnt talked.
Im so over tonight. I want to sleep. !Do a section 1 drill! gar :/
