I need all the (extra) help I can get

It's ironic how the teachers at my school try hard to keep the questions for the trials from leaking out to the students.

All we have to do is to make a few calls here and there to students from other school/states/tuition centres and BINGO! We've got a whole list of stuff that might be coming out for the test. To be even more sure, get more info from different sources and see which topics coincide. I just did that for my Physics paper 3. Three different sources; Ampang, Cheras and some tuition. And boy, everything I marked came out!

Well, I guess this isn't a very good thing to do...it might cause us to be more dependent on these 'tips'. It's all a question on morality I guess. But look, I'm still living in the era of Examination-Oriented schools. All the teachers emphasize on getting As, and what choice am I left with but to get 'extra help' if they don't want to help in the first place? Geez, I can't wait to get started on A-levels. It's gotta be more fun, it's gotta be. I heard the lecturers are more professional in teaching and interacting with the students at HELP. Gotta get HELP...(Hint-hint!)

Speaking of teachers who are not very helpful, listen to this. My friend from a Chinese school got informed by his teacher to go for an interview for a HELP scholarship. Apparently, the teacher submitted his exam marks to the university and he got the offer; just like that! And he didn't even want it!!!He's even thinking of declining the offer ( Please don't if you're reading this Mr.D)
Sheeesh~What I'll do for more helpful teachers.

(Oh well, look at the good side. At least I know I won't be alone in PJ next year at college)

Common knowledge? I didn't know that..( Rantings)

All this while I've been constantly ranting about nothing but school life & post-school life. What's there for a girl who can't go anywhere outside the boundaries of Kajang town to write about? Everything that goes on in her head I guess. Like me and my mom discussing on where I'm supposed to go after SPM; Form 6/ A levels. In the end, I gave up and followed what she said; A levels. ( I need some HELP) She said that even with good results for STPM, there is no guaranteed place in local-Universities for a Chinese girl like me. Unless you're doing social science. "Isn't that what I'm doing?" I know, I know...I should be paying more attention to my SPM now because it's what that determines your future..blablabla..

Well, I did go somewhere out of Kajang. The Archdiocese Pastoral Centre in KL last week. To attend the 1st Bible Knowledge SPM seminar ever held in Malaysia. Students and teachers attended this event. Did I gain anything? Not really, I gained something that hasn't got anything to do with Bible Knowledge.

Here's a full account of what happened.

There was this middle aged grumpy and very inquisitive lady. Let's call her the Green lady.
She was sitting at the back with two of my friends ( alex & John) with another girl ( we'll call her orange girl; she was wearing a very nice looking orange tank top.."I forgot to ask her where she got that" Green lady kept asking her questions on who her parents are, where does she go to school and lots of things even your friends won't ask. Orange girl lost her temper and went infront to sit with her friends. Then, green lady began a conversation with my friends.

GL: Are you an alter boy?
A: Er, no?
J: Yeah.
GL: OH! God will bless you more, Jonathan...(pauses) I know your parents.

Later, she got a phone call from someone who hanged up on her ( I can understand why) and asked Alex who called her (-.-") and told them that if you take BK, you will get all 101As, no worries! ...After lunch, I wanted to experience the Green factor, so I went to the back to join Alex and John. Green Lady didn't come back; maybe she sensed that someone more irritating than her is about to come along. Orange girl passed a puzzle to the boys. I solved it for them. In return, she gave Alex her email address and number.


I asked them, isn't it weird for a girl to make the first move? They berated me and said it was a turn on for the guys if the girls do it first. It gives them the idea that "I'm hot enough for the girl to come over first and ask for my number". If the guy does it first, it shows him off as a desperate loser.

Right. I've got to take note of that.

Trials are here!

I've been banned from using the internet for the whole month of exams.

Big deal. It's not like I'm going to use the time to study anyway. I can still go to the internet cafes; which is exactly what I'm doing right now. I hate studying. I can't see any point in it doing it myself. I open the book, and about 1 minute later, I'm either doodling or reading some novels. Or sleeping. Or catnapping.

The only place I can study is at tuition. And there's no way I can study at school. The teachers don't teach anymore as they are done with the syllables. So all we do is laze and fool around. Oh yeah, we had a party for our teacher today. Lovely. I keep begging my mom to let me skip school since everyone else is doing it. ( Including the girl my mom keeps comparing me to. " Why can't you be more like her? Blablabla.." Can you imagine? Someone still using that method in the 21st century! Sheesh~) Of course she said no. Reason? She's afraid that the school will call her up to ask her on my whereabouts. C'mon lah, as if the school got nothing else better to do. Well, i guess that's a reasonable excuse since I have a black mark on me after being caught skipping school...

My mind's just drifts off some other place after for awhile. I can't help it. ADD? Traits of it; maybe...
