Turned out the teachers took the passage from page 3 of the article.
Anyway, flash updates:
I got totally bashed at the IS consultation today. Got to revamp entire essay. And must finish the new essay by this weekend. I feel ultra demoralized. I did try, no matter what they say. It's just that this is beyond my ability. Why oh why did I take this up?
Oh, and I got confirmation that I'm going to fail during the consultation. It's my fault I know. I just cannot bear to show people my work because I feel ashamed of my own standards. I don't show anyone my work usually, regardless of the subject, unless the person is close enough to me. So peer editing didn't work out. I couldn't make myself send the document to her. And now, that reluctance was used against me to show that I made no effort at all. That I did not try.
Anyway, this rant is useless. I got to go back to re-writing it. Despite being told how to restructure it, the act of writing this kind of essay feels foreign to me anyway. I don't know how to write it. I'm just praying with all my heart while I write. Trust me, I am trying. It's just not my thing. RS back in RG was disastrous for me and I had no part in writing the PW report (my group mates know my standard)..I'm not making an excuse for myself when I say I don't know how to write such an essay.

So many things happened in the past week, and I can't talk about any of them. 1) Coz I can't, because it's too private, or 2) no time, and now I don't remember the details, or 3) now I'm just too lazy.
A Levels zaps your soul away, whether you are mugging or not.
I'm having a fever. Not sure whether it's due to my tremendous dislike for the a levels right now. or maybe it's just my body's way of wishing it's dead. LOL. then it doesn't have to go through the stupid exams (and then the brain will self-destruct after failing the a levels whee~)
NOPE, i'm not emo. Please, Jerome just said this to me over the msn:
(10:47 PM) [Light] Mentis I: Happy for once, Mei?
Yup yup. I am. Shutting out emo thoughts and emotions. hurray.
But now i'm just lamenting the a lvls. I don like studying with exams. yesh. i don like it one bit. =(
And I'm missing several people right now.
(INJECT OPINION) I think the new president for the singapore table tennis association is stupid. she should just step down now, after one month of office.
I slept too much in the afternoon and now i can't sleep. And I'm having a fever. =( it sucks.
I think I shall stop ranting.

I have only one thing to say. Can they please choose a song with a more catchy tune? Seriously. Something like Stand Up for Singapore or Home. The standards of our ndp theme songs are dropping!!! Ahhhhh....Where are all the good songwriters and singers?? (and seriously...why is it Hadi? Why is it Joi Sing? Who are they man? NO accomplishments at all. Get someone like Kit Chan back again! It's been such a long time since she last sang..)
P.S. And my sister adds on, that when her teacher first played the song for the class, she thought it was a love song rather than a national day theme song. LOL.

I got most of it, except for some...and even those parts i got only vaguely. so shall watch again tomorrow maybe. But not tonight. too much for me to handle. But really thought inspiring...like, goes in line with my recent thoughts about how our universe is so insignificant.
