Female. 17. Someone who needs this blog because - I don't always say what I mean and I don't always mean what I say. And here I let it all out. Living life and loving it. <3

Today. Was. A. Very. "Invigorating". Day. Okay, for the sake of the poor SL,s (student leaders, sort of like prefects but they do a lot less... no offense, though... well, at least not personally) I actually kinda liked the movie.
In a nutshell, we had three incredibly ridiculous activities today, all designed for the sake of eating up our time so that the teachers have an excuse to ask us to come to school. I would also like to mention that this stream of dubiously beneficial-to-our-character activities will drag on for three days. Fun, eh?
The three activities were, tile painting; of which I managed to paint a strip of green before Zhi Ling rescued it and repainted it in a way in which looked quite cool. I spent the rest of the time complaining about boredom and then skipping class and going to the library to look for books. (I found a classic written by E.M.Forster, author of "A Room with a View", something I heard of before. And found out muuuchhh later that the guy was a homosexual in the 1800s.)
Then, we had movie screening; Facing the Giants... There was this incredibly cute guy called David and a blatantly obvious cross-reference to David and Goliath. David was small, (NOT to us Asians, 145 pounds - If I recall correctly.. or something) and didn't seem to have the odds to beat the Giant. But with God's grace, he did. It was really touching, one of the few Christian movies I find that doesn't seem over 'preachy' or 'lame'.
I would say that it's a bit unrealistic, but it's true that nothing's impossible for God; so the movie could actually take place in real life. So... I'm kinda hoping for similar results in exams... After all, I'm not such a hopeless case, am I? -.-"
I did quite badly for AMath, with a 60.??? percentage; way below class average of 69%. But I kinda already expected it, I sucked at Math. Especially any Math that wasn't Malaysian math. (By the way, I still remember lots of terms in Malay; strange, considering that I learnt them three years ago.) .. And even worse for Bio with a 50.0%. I passed. If I fail my mid years, I'm officially going to consider memorizing the whole Bio text book. Hmm... just a thought, if I write exactly as the Bio text book, is it copyright infringement?
So...... I'll still 'fight on' or something. I'm not going to give up, as in drop any subjects; because I actually am quite partial to my subject combination...
Sigh.
And I have quit choir.
Choir was majorly clashing with my Higher Malay class (makes me once again hate myself for not learning chinese 0_o) and so I had to take up some other CCA or die. Not exactly die, but it meant I couldn't get in the JC of my choice, which is Hwa Chong. My ulterior motive is to wake up exactly at 7 a.m. Well, that; and the literature class there. (Or here, since I'm staying in the boarding school)
It's a bit sad considering that I have to try to make new friends again at shooting. I hope I won't feel left out as I already do sometimes; having to join the Sec 1s. And I have no idea if I missed a training session today. I really didn't know if there was one. -.-
