023 And when you see the sun after a storm, you see a ray of hope

When you observe a block of ice melt, do you sense your determination shrinking?
I'm back world. Finally. 3 weeks of rehabilitation. Ain't that good to me, I really missed blogging. I just didn't have the time to blog. Have been so intensely mugging for CTs. Now that it's finally over, I'm given the license to blog nowwwww.
WHOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!
Firstly, I gotta congratulate myself for surviving 3 papers in a day! I never had 3 papers (of different subjects duh) in a day in my life. Wedneday was the first. It wasn't that good at all to me, for I have already failed my English. Needless to say, I'm upset. Hmm, why am I always so weak in my Compre skills? :O
Furthermore, Higher Chinese and History papers were tough. As expected, the HODs are always able to set DIFFICULT papers to make students turn out. Can you see the trend? Miss Lai set the English paper, Mdm Yong set the Higher Chinese paper and Mrs Ram set the History paper! Plus plus, Miss Kho set the Chemistry paper!
HOW MANY HODS DO YOU NEED TO SET CT PAPERS?!?!?!
As infuriating as I feel right now, I think that I can't excuse myself from scoring badly just because HODs are often stereotyped as the ones who are able to set papers of HIGHER difficulties. I can't.
Whatever it is, I've not known my results for 7 out of 8 subjects. It's just that English, was sucha letdown and disappointment. Gah, don't talk about it anymore.
Well, after CTs, had some de-stress session with PPFFPP and Zhenyi. We went walking around Jurong Point and IMM. Except for the walking (which was utterly boring), it was really fun and camwhoring was wacky too!
Wanna see the photos? Here's the link. I'm too lazy to upload them now.

Haha oright. Did some reflection just now. Here it is, don't know if it makes sense though.
Is it always true that if you put in extra effort for a certain subject you're particularly weak in, you're bound to score an A1 in O'Levels? I mean I'm not just scaling it down the O'Levels, it's just an example of a major examination. I mean, uh is hardwork purely the key to success? Can talent be another key-factor?
Somehow, I doubt it. Somehow, I believe that if one lacks the calibre, no matter how hard he/she works hard for it, and how much he/she knows she wants it terribly, he/she will still not score well. This has nothing to do with mindset, I'm serious. It's just ugh, you lack the ability to do it.
I know "Impossible is Nothing", but sometimes you'll have to think out of that: Students have worked extra hard for the subject they're weakest in, yet they still couldn't produce a distinction in major exams. And the most infuriating thing is, those who're born with a so-called 'talent' in a particular subject, can score EVEN BETTER than those who mug their life in it and yet unable to ace it.
I don't know why I'm typing this, but I think, your results are somehow determined by your intelligence. Sheer hardwork ain't enough definitely. Just like what Mr Shasi told me, ______ might not get A1 even though _____'s damn hardworking. I guess you all know who ______ is. Well, I'm not saying I trust his words entirely, but cases and cases have proved it, am I right?
It's just so unexplainable. Sheeeeeez.
Well well, I really hope that I can score well in this CTs. I want my aceeeeeeeeees pleaseeeee! Especially for those I've studied hard for. And most importantly, both Mathe.
Alamak, why am I setting so high expectations now? What's the use? :0
On a lighter note, I'm attending an Adam Khoo Workshop from next Monday to Wednesday! Can't wait to cry. Heard it's ultra motivating. Hmmmph.
And and, NIKAR outing tomorrow! Wheeeeeee :)
Okay, it's getting late. Gotta go sleep now. Seeya all soon!
