What Time is it? Post-Exam Time! (with domestic worries)

Phewwww...... After such a long time not posting, I have loads of things here...

First thing... The exams are over! I will definitely screw up my History, Literature and Geography. I didn't do too good...

Well, today I had English Compre and Malay. I think that the Compre part is OK, Cloze and Correction of Errors also OK, but the Summary part is really horrible! I didn't have enogh time to count the words, and the points are really hard to organise. The passage has lots of technical words, making it hard to USE YOUR OWN WORDS. Malay Exam is also quite OK.

Without the exams that would be a burden off my shoulders.

But there are some other problems too...

My room is at war.

Because of something that Chern Yuen wrote in his blog, my dear brother Zi Kang wants to have war with him. He says he's France and Chern Yuen's Germany.

But I think that USA and Russia fits better.

Every time both of them are in the room and no one's talking, and they look at each other, the room suddenly becomes Fuji Ice Palace.

Using DotA technical language, Traxex is firing her Frost Arrows everywhere in the room.

You are in high danger of being hit.

At first I thought that CY is also criticising me too, but afterwards I realised it was only between him and Zi Kang. Since then I don't know what to do, because Zi kang says I'm bound by an alliance with him: however much I hate him, I must also help him. But I don't want to worsen my relationship with CY too.

But then a friend of mine talked to me last evening, and I saw things right.

Why should I even form an alliance with a bully? I never even had one in the first place.

That friend also says that a lot of people think that ZK treats other people like he treats me. This point I agree.

Maybe it's because of this attitude that CY doesn't like him in the first place.

Since then I decided to stand back and let them settle things themselves. To become neutral.

See if ZK can realise the cause behind all of these himself and try to right his wrong.

To that friend who is reading this too, I want to thank you for last evening. You really helped me a lot. (PLEASE!!!!!!! I am NOT being sarcastic)

Tomorrow my parents will be coming down to Singapore. I am really looking forward to it.

That means I can go out and breathe some fresh air, after a long time stuck in HCIBS.

That means I can also go and visit some relatives.

That means I can also do something else that will destroy some one very thoroughly.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Just joking. That person is so thick-skinned I wonder if he can be destroyed by mere words.

Well, I'll see what happens tomorrow...

After some long consideration, I've decided to revive 6KSA.

I won't tell you what's that until I've finished everything.

I also decided to make some wallpapers of my own (after seeing Shi-jie's cool posters) because I had a stroke of inspiration.

Unlike Shi-jie's posters which are for commemoration of 2B 2007, I have decided that mine will be an ATF poster.

I will upload them once I finish them.

Finally finished the blog roll! Also uploaded my personal insignia.

I think that is basically all for now.

Till we meet again,

History Exam is finally OVER!!!

Phew... Finally the long-dreaded History Exam is over! I heaved a really big sigh of relief when I completed the paper. The source-based questions were easy, but I screwed up my structured essay questions. Never mind about that, at least I got a pass (I think...), it was better than my History Term Tests, I failed 2 out of 3 tests.

Everyone in my room is now so-called relieving exam stress over the computer, except for me, as always... I never get to play games on the computer often. Theoretically they shouldn't be playing games, for heaven's sake it's EXAM WEEK, but they just don't care. My roommate Eng Keat, I'm not worried, he's got a huge brain capacity (I really marvel at him)... but I'm quite worried about my brother. I really don't know why I'm worried, since he doesn't really care about my feelings...

Blood is thicker than water, I suppose.

There's still 8 exams to go in this week... English Compo and Literature on Tuesday, Maths on Wednesday (I got exempted so I don't need to go), Chinese Compo and Geography on Thursday, English Compre and Malay on Friday. I'm really worried about Literature and Geography, my Malay also deteriorated.

Then after the exams, there's still the dreaded Sec 2 camp, I'm stuck with an ****, OMG!

Then after the camp, we've got the End of Year Activities, bowling and a movie. Quite looking forward to it really...

Then it's the HOLIDAYS!!!

So its really that for this year. Time really flies...

Next year our whole level will be Sec 3, here's my calculations:

Workload + 70 %
Project Work + 50 %
Relax Time - 60 %

So we're hardly in a position to slack, you see...

I want to be in SMRP (Science and Maths Research Programme) next year, just that I'm not sure of which branch to go, SMRP Science or SMRP Maths. I'll need a new computer by then (if my brother still does not wish to change his bad habit), otherwise he'll deprive me of my right to use the current computer and affect my project work.
______________________________________________

Recently there has been an incident where a Sec 3 senior, living in the boarding school, slashed his wrists beause he got a SINGLE-DIGIT mark in his Chemistry Exam. This is not confirmed, though I think it is highly probable. Some will say he deserved it, since he always skip whole days off in school.

Personally I think there is something between the single-digit mark and the days he skipped off lessons, but I think there must also be internal factors (some say he got a brain tumour, he started it off himself... lame), otherwise how can he skive off so many hours of lessons without recieving any disciplinary action? (other than the one when he was suspended for... a week? A month? I'm not sure) I've also wondered why he never seeked couselling. We may never know...
Well, that's all for now, my friends. I may not be able to post up during this week. The weekend that just passed too, busy mugging so I had no time to post. Anyway, for those who has exams too, I wish them good luck.

Cheers,

A hole in my life

I think I am an enthusiastic member of my CCA, the school band.

This can be seen from the fact that I try not to miss any band practices unless absolutely necessary.

But I also has a habit of being late for morning flag raising (the band has to play the anthem and school song), which I am trying to change.

However, as the Year-End Examinations draw closer and closer (yikes! only FOUR days left!), and all CCAs are cancelled temporarily, then I found what was really missing from my life.

Whole afternoons were devoted to slouching on the bed and trying to sleep, or trying to do some mugging, where otherwise I would have to go for band practices if not for the exams.

These time-wasting moments have resulted in me missing dinners because of afternoon sleeps, while I would have been punctual for dinner everytime I returned from band practices.

I could say my lifestyle is ruined without my CCA to engage me in afternoon activities.

Sure, I like to play computer games, but that also became senseless after a while, with exam stress aggravating the situation.

I must say I really miss band practices A LOT.

Even if it means going to outdoor practices (which I slightly dislike)for next year's Singapore Youth Festival, which we will be participating in the outdoor display assessment.

One thing that I really hate is people wrongly accusing me of things that they do not understand.

While I can take insults from other people with a pinch of salt, I really lose my temper when it came to wrong accusations.

Today I have been wrongly accused by a teacher, who thought that I was lazy and did not bring my worksheet, while in reality I had taken the worksheet out of my bag yesterday and put it in the file for filing, not aware that I will need it the next day.

I am not angry with the teacher. I was just there seething internally for the rest of the lesson, not knowing why, until it came to my favourite Maths lesson. Then I calmed down.

I guess that it was because of the sheer wrongness of wrong accusations that aggravated me so much.

People do joke around and make fun of other people's names and stuff like that, but people never do wrongly accuse people for the fun of it, and never apologising afterwards.

I really do hope that people can stop making wrong accusations, though I must admit that wrong accusations do provide very good inspirations for writing essays.
_____________________________________________

Another day will come to pass.

And I still haven't finished revising for my exams.

Aaaarrrghhh!!!

I must really buck up for my exams, or risk failing my History or Literature or any other subject.

And maybe... that means ending this post for now.

I will continue writing, though I may not be able to write during the exams, with the crushing weight of the revisions.

And after the exams, there is still the Sec 2 Camp waiting for us!

Well, I'll worry about it later.

Cheers,
Ferralucis

The Start of Something New

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape- descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.

Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.

And then, one Wednesday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, one person realised what was going wrong in his life, that he desperately needs a blog, a whole new blog that would succeed the terrible failure created several years ago. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.

Fortunately, however, he got to post this up on Blogspot in time, just days before the Great Catastrophe of the Year-End Examinations arrived, and his idea was not lost forever.

This is not the story of the Great Catastrophe of the Year-End Examinations.

This is HIS story.

Hi.

Some do not understand my assumed name, Ferralucis. Some even say it is GAY.

Horror of all horrors.

Try splitting the name Ferralucis into two halves, take off the last letter of each half, and put the latter half in front of the first half.

Yup, you got it. LuciFerr (or Lucifer, in that case). But DON'T PANIC.

Try to Wiki it, even. THEN you will know the meaning of the word.

My true name is Low Zi Qian.

I am 14 years old and I am studying in Hwa Chong Institution. My class is 2B. The above information is NOT permanent. It is only for the year 2007.

My birthday is 20 September 1993.

I have eczema.

I am a person who almost never gets to use the computer, because my twin brother is using it to play Age of Pirates. A game which I must admit, is quite cool.

I play the flute and the piccolo.

I like reading. And watching movies. And playing computer games. A lot.

I like Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker Trilogy, Jodi Picoult's books, Harry Potter series, and High School Musicals 1 & 2.

Well, basically that's all for my self-intro.

You might ask: How did I get my assumed name?

In Primary 6, after the UPSR Exams, some classmates of mine decided to create a "Superheroes' Academy" using the number of students in my class and their nicknames, and I was stuck as the guy who could control light. Somehow it stuck till now.

I know it sounds lame, but hey, we were P6 students right?

So there you are. I created this blog cos' my previous one was such a fiasco. This blog is only to talk about my life.

Well, since today I had nothing special going on, I will end this post for now.

Hope you enjoy reading my blog.

Cheers,
Ferralucis
