I GOT PROMOTED TO JC2!
The teacher-in-charge aka Mrs Christina Tan had to call me late at night to inform me this 'exhilarating' piece of news. Well this means hardcore studying next year, can't believe this re-exam shit cost me to miss lots of stuffs during the supplementary lessons.
Whatever, I still have my holidays to enjoy, need to find some part-time work though.

Shucks, after completing my re examination and being completely exhausted from all those late night studying, I suddenly don't find it good if I get promoted =/
After knowing that more essay writing/drillings/practices are coming in my way during JC2 sort of demoralize me. I told you guys I am sick of JC life, everyday do nothing but write essays! I want to go to a poly but the only course that interests me has a freaking cutoff point of 10 last year, and they only take in 60 students per cohort.
I am definitely not confident of being one of the 60 students. I don wanna waste my time there but I've no where to go if I fail to get into that course. I am very pessimistic about my future now, I WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING ELSE THEN WRITING ESSAYS!
this is so gonna take some time to settle down...
(back to the top.)
I believe many JC1s have already finished their project work and I can see them swearing, screaming and pointing middle fingers at their pw teacher's photos.
YES! My oral presentation ended on 5 nov and I've already handed up my I&R long ago thus project work is officially out of my life. So in the end my class wanted to go for a star gazing outing to celebrate the end of lardball's reign but due to "unforeseen circumstances", I didn't join them.
Now, it's time to focus on the re-examination that is going to start on 14 November.
Shit.
I can't study nuts now for god sake but if I can't pass, lots of people are going to kill me including myself.
Seriously SRJC is super kiasu.
Other schools have already released their students but 'they' as in the newly promoted JC2s students have to go for some supplementary lessons for the whole of november. This one month can be used for working and the opportunity cost wasted is around $1k? (If you got a decent job that is)
I mean 'they' have been working hard for the past 7 months and the government sets this 2 months for them to chill and enjoy or preferably spend more time with their family but SRJC ruins it all, bravo.
P.S: I have to refer to them as 'they' cos I am not one of them yet T_T

At one glance, I thought Oral presentation should be something that will pass by my life quite swiftly but up till now, I've been going to schools to practice my OP and tuning it to perfection. I begin to feel that this 40% worth of marks ain't easy to get at all, it's taking a toll on my mind that I can't start studying for my re-test.
I am going to rehearse one last time tomorrow before going for the actual thing on Wednesday and my weak points are still the same: Talk too fast, sounds like memorising from script, hand gestures etc..
I swear that I've been practicing even in the toilet and I can go like way slower and even adding in extra humor inside but whenever I stand in front of someone and present, bam! Everything's gone, speak too fast, can't remember my points. Heh, actually Russell Peters inspired me to include somethings in my oral presentation script. Not as crude as him but I learn to put in personal experiences and also some personal thoughts from him.
This is like doing English Oral all over again, hate that feeling man!
