2006 Report

Lets start from the beginning. Term 1. I was still at the APR Thailand Jamboree during Jan 1st in 2006. I was enjoying myself so much. Then it was time to go back to school. I met my new classmates. O...wad a screwed class i felt, all the...outspoken ppl there...Its weird, when i returned from overseas, in less than 2 weeks i had to go for OEP Shanghai. Quite good. I started to like my class a lot better :) Anyway the academic part of the year by right started after OEP. Lol. School wasnt good, I had difficulty coping. Term 1 tests were lyk...very hard. Confusing. Had difficulty doing. Only barely got pass grades. This was also the period of the parades...Why? Scouts Day and Founders Day. It was such an honor to be part of the GOH contingent. But then i found out it was harder than I thought. But in the end, practice makes perfect and only the band screwed up for Founders Day :P

Then came term 2. I found it difficult to cope. Lets not say much, but I ended up failing 6 subjects though i dunno how. I did a lot better in sec1 and sec2...at least 70%...Then I had to fail 6 subjects for mid year. My teachers told me that I wasnt answering the qns the sec3 way. That made me do quite a bit of thinking...Just cos it works doesnt mean it's the perfect way...I learnt it the hard way by answering the questions like how i answered in sec1 and 2 (when I did well doing that)...And i was so enthu abou going for the CCA award. I always wanted the "Lion Face Badge" since sec1. Anyway i didnt do well enough for my Preliminary Report. Well so that quite sums up term 2.

Next term 3 came. Quite a fast term. Came and gone very fast.This term was mainly spent studying. I wasnt quite familiar with my school work still so I put whatever remaining time I had into deep studing. O yes and did u know that I took part in my second dota competition here, but somehow we got disqualified. Dun wanna talk much abou it.

Then term 4 came. I was quite ready for my exams. All my studying paid off. In the end, I didnt fail anything (yes you know wad i mean by in the end), and was promoted to year 4 express, of course being able to keep all 9 subjects:). My CT even gave me a bookmark as an...errm...token of appreciation for my effort in studying.

After Term 4, I went for CCA. I managed to pass prelims but i dont think i did well enough to pass the hike. Lack of time management skills i guess. Learnt it the hard way again.

Anyway I'd like to thank God for all that i had this year. I initially wanted to make a list of things to thank God for the year, however it would then be as tall as a HDB flat. So to make it short, I wanna thank God for all things good and bad. For being with me throughout everything. For giving me blessings in disguise, (failing 6 subjects during mid year in my opinion is an example of a blessing in disguise to tell me to be more open to new ways of answering questions and not to stick to my sec1 and 2 methods) for giving me such a great class, for giving me such good frenz, for giving me a loving family, hmm lets just end here before I get too...elaborative:)

And heres part of the post from my good friend's blog:
New years are a chance for a beginning
Even when there hasn't been an end.
Wheels turn in an interminable bend,
Yet, marked in one spot, seem to wobble spinning.
Each year we hope to do a little better
Although we know that really nothing's changed.
Reason thinks that everything's arranged,So we must dream if we would fate unfetter

And of course, Thank God for 2007. God Bless.
