Finally Back
c'mon people congratulate me.
i survived the week! i've escaped more or less in one piece, and even have some extra pieces hanging off me [such as eyebags], but i'm more or less unscathed. and i'm back online finally, to revive my very dead blog! thank you dancers, for keeping it breathing (:
the papers were.. uh. lets see.
1. chinese was screwed because i left out an entire chunk of information in the essay.
2. english was really screwed too because LEAFLET the thing westvik was warning to us about, instructing us not to fold the freaking paper CAME OUT CAN. i went WTF?! and wrote one whole chunk of prose. when i handed it in, i saw others with headings etc. UH OH.
3. SS? erm. i read through the two textbooks briefly? does that tell you enough?
4. A math, i HOPE i can break my personal best. but it went better than expected.
5. BIO HAHAHAHA its like gone. byebye.
6. chemistry? hehehe poor rossie studied with me, but she didnt get much done cause she was trying to explain the basics to me. x| im that bad [XINKY HUH, FULL MARKS] at the sciences. but i think i can pass gollywow!
7. history was LUCKY mao came out for source based, which was quite difficult, but the SEQ? i only studied germany and it came out :D
8. E math. im never good at the second paper, my hand was shaking and i got really freaked out cause half an hour into the exam, i was only at the second question. lets hope my paper1 would pull it back!
9. geography? SHIT KELVIN TAN LA i studied three chapters of physical geog and let human geog go. cause population is freefrac! i studied weathering, plate tectonics and vegetation. and that loser set one question on weathering AND vegetation. many EXCLAMATION MARKS went across my mind at 100km/h when i saw it. goner. i did climate in the end, and all i drew of my rain gauge was a pathetic funnel, a stand and a can. hahaha! luckily i warned mr khong beforehand. (: oh yes kelvin tan gave stupid allocations of marks. he gave this weird diagram like:
and he asked you to describe the processes occuring at points 1 to 5 and the question was 7 marks. ?!?!?!?! 7marks? i wrote one pathetic paragraph, less than 6 lines can. whats there to say?
at point 1, the sun shone.
at point 2, the sun rays reached the earth's surface.
at point 3, the sun rays heated up the earth's surface and caused hot air as well as evaporated moisture to raise as water vapour.
at point 4, the water vapour cools and condenses to form water droplets and clouds.
at point 5, the clouds get too heavy and convectional rain falls.
SEVEN MARKS FOR THAT CRAP?! whatever, kelvin tan. and i thought that hazards weren't tested and what the hell from the climate question out pops a WHY ARE SOME CYCLONES MORE DESTRUCTIVE THAN OTHERS?
...
aiya, i won't fail but i won't do well either. :X
at least thats all off my chest now. whew. one exam down, another big one coming up in 4 months and a MAJOR one coming up in 5!
what a pleasant and encouraging thought.
special thanks to rossie: we studied everyday after school together, made studying enjoyable and she helped me through loads of stuff. i don't think i'd have survived this strenuous week without her. <3
and of course, the dancers for constant encouragement everytime i see them around school. miss you guys.
I wasn't there when you guys went through all that, I'm sorry. I wish i could be there, because.
After all, I am part of the group.
After all, I made my share of negative comments which may have gotten to ears that weren't supposed to hear them.
After all, we've been through so much together and not sitting there going through the negative side of life just doesn't seem right.
At the end of the day, we needn't let everybody know the effort we've put into this troupe, and how much dedication we have. Some people would never understand, and there isn't a need for them to understand. Because no matter how much we explain or try to show, they would never understand. As long as we do, we know and we understand. That is enough to make all the time, blood, sweat and tears shed over NYMD worthwhile.
We have been through so much. We went through the leaving of Ms Chan, the arrival of Mr Raj, the changes NYMD had to adapt to, the first ever dance camp, the first pushups, the unity we shared, the SYF we were so excited about, the drastic fall after supposed high, the clambering up from depths, the inaugural concert we'd never forget, the many shows we put up, the auditions we had, the scoldings and punishments issued, the big and small troubles, the new genres we tried, the glorious victory of our recent SYF and the current indignance some of us feel.
Who's at fault, who passed this on, who ignited the present-for-long dynamite, it doesn't matter. What matters is that we still have each other. Come rain or shine, we'd still be there. And I hope this storm would just blow pass soon, and our love for dance would still be there despite all obstacles.
Old times:
All's gonna work out, as long as we don't turn our backs on one another. (:
What i would give to return to old times. To go to the studio twice/thrice every week to talk, stretch, see the dancers and simply dance. Its a gnawing feeling that's hard to explain. Like a piece of my life, my heart gone missing. It may be tough now, but remembering what we used to have? Its worth staying on and through it. Treasure it, all nymders. You have no idea what its like without it.
All my love <3
P.S: Thanks to bernice, ann, aileen and eileen for sending the pictures! especially aileen, she sent 30MB of pictures in total. PEOPLE I NEED MORE PICTURES CMON!
