Sunny day... Misrah was so excited over getting the free tickets to see the Asian Idol Hady at TP convention centre on 2 Feb'08. She sms to remind me to help her get when I was still having lessons and yesterday before I got off the bus she also reminded me to help her get the tickets to see him. Sad to say Hady not that popular among the students in TP cos though the distribution of tickets started yesterday, there was still a lot of leftover tickets to Hady's concert today - No queue at all for his tickets though it's FREE... And Misrah was still worried that there will be no more tickets left for her.

My friend was helping check my asp codes for my login page... Then I was telling her who my project mate was. When I told her his name, surprisingly (at least to me), she knows him. So she was like saying " Oh... That person ar... Got smell one...". Haha... Well I salute her that She actually dare to say that... I don't dare say that my project mate got BO =x Pity me that I didn't know he has got BO earlier on. How come I didn't know that earlier on and partner with him, ask me directly and I'll elaborate. LoL... At least that confirms that I don't have something wrong with my nose. *Phew* I didn't dare to say that to any of my friends yet cos I scared it might be only me who's feeling that way. But now I know that my nose CONFIRM is working right, I'll say... Just make sure that those who knows whom I'm talking about, just keep this to yourself. Anyway this semester going to end soon le. Then it will be mp and SIP. So my partnership with him will also be ending soon =) But in the mean time, do keep me in your prayers. Thanks ^_^

Friday, 25 January 2008, Sunny...

Still no news from my friend about her O level result. Does it mean she really did badly in it?
*Sigh* If it's really so she must be really upset. Hopefully she will study hard and do well in ITE then she will be able to come Poly.

Season of Projects rush for me now. Lots of projects, Lots of work and quizs to study. I've stop doing my ASP.Net projects for today cos I got problem for my Login and Logout page. How to store and end a session variable? I did my codings now have to try to debug. Hopefully my ASP teacher can be there on Wednesday during the free access lab hours. I sat in my lab just now for 1 hour plus, staring at the codes trying to see how to debug the errors, but to no avail. Sad right...

Today my sister will be going Thailand (company trip) after she finish her work. Sort of like pity her cos though she's going Thailand today, she still has to report to work. And she's coming back Singapore on Sunday night and have to go back to work on Monday - No wonder some of my church friends say they hate company trips. The saddest part of it all is that my sister is sharing a room with a colleague whom she doesn't really like, and because of the Thailand trip, she has to see her everyday for 2 weeks.

It's sunny over here in Singapore now. Wonder how's the weather like over in Thailand. Hopefully over there will have a good weather too then my sister can really enjoy her holiday there shopping, sleeping etc.

As this is the first time my sister will be going on a holiday all by herself with her colleagues, my family and her boyfriend are quite worried about her. Been telling her to make sure she holds her bag tightly, don't wonder off anywhere on her own, must call her if anything bad happens, don't get cheated of your money etc. Though my sister is in her adulthood now, nevertheless we are afraid that she might not be independent enough to be by herself in a foreign land which doesn't have much people who speaks english. But I guess she will cope well with the situiation over there given her experience in Australia.

~ I shouldn't add unnecessary worries to myself~

Today is the release of the O level results... My friend who retook some of her O level subjects will know her results today. I pray that she will be able to pass all the subjects she retook.

Ever since I receive Misrah's sms saying that she told our friend to call us if her results are good, i've been checking my phone after every lesson, hoping that I will receive an sms or missed call from her. And every message I receive, I will read it, hoping that it would be good news from her.

I'm quite worried for her as I have a hunch (which I hope will be wrong) that she will not make it for her Maths. Her maths foundation isn't very good and the questions which she usually don't know how to do are those common O level Questions. I've taught her how to do them but sometimes due to lack of practice, she forgets and I've to teach her again. Also many times when me and Misrah call her to ask her if she needs help or want to meet us to do maths, she'll usually have something to do. And I know at times it's really hard on her to concentrate on both her ITE subjects and O level subjects.

Hopefully she's been hardworking enough to finish her maths "Twenty year series" (doing her maths ten year series twice)... Then she would have found the O level paper easy to do.

I just wish her all the best and pray that she pass.

About myself... I had 2 quiz yesterday. And sway sway it happened to be the day that my mother was on her nagging mood. As she fetched me to school she was nagging at me the whole way through even though she could see I was busy trying to do some last minute revision before my quiz. Really hate her nagging at times cos it just destroys my day and make me unable to do my last minute revision as she won't allow me the peace and quiet to do my revision.

My first quiz, ITECH was alright. Think I can pass that paper. Then comes my 2nd paper, Basic Finance which I only managed to study just a few hours before my lesson. Think I screwed up my Baisc Finance paper. Cos on that day, my friend suddenly tell me I can't be in her SIP (attatchment group) cos she just remembered she also have to include her friend inside her group and there can only be 3 people in a group. So because of that I had to busy myself for the next 1 hour plus to sms and call all my friends to see if they got vacancy.

Thank God Shariffa and Kee Suan help me. They gave me the numbers of their friends who haven't got a group yet like me. So managed to get them to form a group with me. Though things was a little messy, and because of that I didn't had time for my last minute revision for my Baisc finance, the way things end up can be quite funny.

When I finally met up with my group members, I realized that one of them was someone I knew all along, except that I didn't know her name. And when I met her she was like " I knew it was you all along though you didn't know it is me", and I was quite embarrass about that fact that I didn't knew her.

Well... Really Thank God for His provision if not i'm just gonna be so lost and maybe even start crying cos if I don't form a group, they (the teachers in charge of sip student) will just anyhow form a group for me and post one really chim project for us to work on.

*Phew* So glad that this is SIP grouping thing is over now. One stress level down. Haha

Got back my Baisc Finance paper today. Got 55.5/60. It was a bit of a mixed feeling when I got back my result. Felt happy that it was an A grade. But at the same time I felt that I could have done better and got 59/60. Well... I could have gotten 59/60 if I had read the question properly for the last question. Had 3.5 marks deducted due to one careless working that made the rest of the workings after it wrong also. So my long structured question mistake is worth 3.5 marks!!! When I saw how my marks flew away so easily my heart began to ache a bit. The other 1 mark that I confirm lose was the MCQ part, the 1st question which I anyhow guess the answer and got it wrong.

After my lesson end, I just so wanted to talk to somebody about it (Just felt I wanted to tell someone about it so I can just get it off my chest). But my handphone wasn't with me - I forgot to bring it with me to school today. So I just sat at the bus there sulking over that 3.5 marks I lost due to just one stupid mistake I made.

Finally when I came home, first thing I did was to go to my room to see my handphone - 8 missed calls and 6 sms. Considered not bad. Was expecting slightly more than that cos I was suppose to meet Eunice and Iris today but because I didn't had my hp with me I couldn't contact them to ask where they were and they couldn't reach me either. Funny thing was that Eunice and me went to almost all the same places that we thought we could find each other, but we never met... Maybe it's because we're just not fated to meet today.

After reading all my sms and seeing my missed calls, I quickly sms an apology sms to Iris and called Eunice to apologize to her personally. Then after ending my call with Eunice I called Misrah. Told her about how I felt about my results etc then she say she also same like me, miss by 1 or 2 marks like that to get the top score due to her careless mistake. *Sigh* Careless mistake can sometimes be very costly like my case... So close to getting the full marks but yet its out of my reach. But since sulking won't get me anywhere, I'm trying to accept the fact that no ammendments can be made to correct what I did wrong just like my ITECH, what's done is done, careless mistake have been made and I've to accept the fact. Now must plan ahead to work hard for my projects and quizzes in order to make up for the marks I lost due to my own carelessness.

However if I can get this kind of marks for my insurance m9 exam, I'll be over the moon for sure! To pass the m9 insurance 125 MCQ question I must get a min of 70% to pass. And the multiple choices being more or less the same, it can get really difficult to get the right answer. Therefore when I pass (which means I've to study really hard) i'll confirm give myself a fabulous treat. But when I'll take my m9 again, I'm not sure yet. Saving up for both the Akido (if I want to join) and my m9 exam isn't going to be an easy task. Need to start feeding my bank.

~I Thank God for the Good and not so good results~
~-Strive for the Good to be even better and the work on the not so good to be as good as the good-~

Not going to upload any pictures of my Bintan trip any time soon as my friend told me her comp got the flashy virus and she haven't got rid of it yet. My Christmas last year was tiring and fun. If I remembered correctly, I uploaded some of my caroling pictures in my facebook. So if you want, you can go check out my caroling pics in spore in my facebook.

This Sunday for me, I can describe it in One word - TERROR!

Yea... It was really terror and scary for me... Cos it was my first day as a mentor to the Sec 2s this year in my church and I was practically just thrown into the deep Ocean. Gracie and Azmi WAS SUPPOSE to be there early to introduce me the 2008 Sec2s. But they were LATE. I so wanted to runaway since they were late. But THANKS to Weiming, I had no choice to do that. Weiming (Theresa's husband) saw me wanting to runaway so he said he will show me the Sec 2 class since Gracie and Azmi were nowhere to be found.

stepping into the classroom with Weiming...

Weiming: HELLO! This is Sally, your new mentor for your class.

Me: Er... Hello everybody...

Then Weiming left to go to his Sec 4 class.

So while waiting for Azmi and Gracie to come, I got them to introduce themselves to me and told them a bit about the Youth Alpha coming up for the Sec 1 to 4s. But even after I finish doing that, Azmi and Gracie weren't there yet. So I let them have a free and easy time to chat among themselves while I just sat at the table with them listening to them chat while I sms my brother to ask for Gracie's number to call her just in case she hasn't wake up from her dreamland yet.

It was totally blur and dunno what to do atmosphere for me. Wanted to play some ice breakers with them but couldn't think of any at that time. Guess I was too frightened, nervous and blur to think at that time.

Finally Azmi and Gracie came and lesson started.

Azmi: You know that Sally is your new teacher now right...

Gracie: Oh no! I'm late... Broke my New Year resolution.

Azmi: So next time if we are LATE, you will have Sally who will be on time to be with you all. Right Sally...

Me: having no choice except to say yar... Thinking at the back of my head if I should be late next time.

However, they were late with good reasons. Gracie was late as the day before she had to worked late until 4am like that. Whereas Azmi being a teacher had to stay up until 2am in school to compile the Integrated Program (IP) marks.

Then during lesson time got arrowed by Azmi again to teach the topic on Personal Daily Devotion on the next lesson.

At times I really wish I can become my hamster and just hide in a quiet corner when this kind of things happen.

Wonder what the Sec 2s first impression of me. Hopefully it won't be that bad =x

As for now... Need to chiong for projects, and study and revise for quiz and lab test. Must try to keep fit at the same time.

Thinking of joining my school's Akido with Julia. Though I know my mother will surely not consent to it, I feel like being a rebellious kid and just join. The only thing holding me back for now is cash. I don't think i've the cash to pay for my Akido lessons in school (the Akido lesson in my school is a student proposed cca so no subsidy given). Must start saving now if I want to join Akido...
