WATCH DEATH NOTE.
I never thought there'll be another that can be compared to The Prestige this yr, but here it is: death note(:
for those who have not heard of it yet, it is a jap movie based on the popular manga series death note. the plot is rather straightforward, but wait till u watch the trailer of part 2 after the credits. of course, the best thing abt part 1 is the characters. they have personality and they are unique.
L is one of the main characters, and he's a total sweetie with a personality that makes u squeal. and the scary looking devil inside? he's the death god who adores apples. and believe it or not, he's the one that actually makes the movie funny, he's like this pet dog of Light, the other main character, the one who uses death note.
so, i shant say any more to spoil the fun. but trust me, this is a movie not to be missed!
*Note: Part 2 coming in december.*

I briefly read through all my entries last december, and I must say, I seem to have lost alot of "colours" this year >.< My entries last yr were so colourful and full of pictures! ahh well..maybe im becoming a boring person @_@
lots have happened these few wks, and im kindda losing the drive to post detailed entries. basically, i have found what i lost, seen what i had been blind to, made sense of some stuffs that had been bothering me, and come to terms with leaving this place.
all this time i told myself the past is not to be hold on to, we shld let it go and move on. but some things seriously dont work that way. i chose to look back and pick up from where i left off, and i might regret later, but for now, im at peace with what i've decided to do.
and maybe...sometimes the things we think we own aren't really in our control...it reminds us that everything in our lives are determined by our Father, and like what many always say, if it's not yours to be, holding on to it will not help, it'll only make urself miserable. im learning to go easy on life and myself, to simply sit back and relax. things are usually not as serious as we think they are.
higher chinese O level tmr.still need to find some way to download the info my chi tchr sent us.haii.where's efficient technology when you need it..

(yep ok i changed to another one of my bad designs, and yes i know the taggie looks horrible and out of place, but cbox is down, so i'll change it to pls you nice ppl asap k!)
today was the last day of sec sch, so called, coz i still need to go back on mon for HCL Olevels. anyway, it was a pretty normal day even though it was the last day, and i didn't feel any emotions at all.
then during the second last hr of sch, we did spring cleaning, and it was really painful for me to watch everyone work together to wipe away all traces of 406 from the classroom..it was like our second home. even the CNY deco which won us first in level wasnt sparred.
We took a last class photo with the deco at the back of the class,coz it's just gorgeous,and then that was it. Everything was gone and dumped in a matter of minutes..
Next yr, the new 406 will step into the spick and span classroom and experience a year of specials bonds and fond memories, just like this 406 did. But i have to say, THIS 406 will never be replaced.
Although the classroom now shows no sign of 406 ever inhabiting it, i know the memories we share will stay in our hearts forever. It was so wonderful, seeing everyone working together for one last time to help in spring cleaning, then panicking as they tried to get as many ppl as possible to write in their autograph books, including subj tchrs...
I'm afraid of forgetting all these, because some things are not within our control. We just forget things as time goes by. But right now, i just want to savour this piece of memory for as long as i can..
As usual, audrey ended the day with a big band, showing us this montage she made as a surprise for us. and of course, a montage means lots of pictures and touching words..so it means you have to cry. it's just wrong not to cry during a montage on the last day of school.
so yea, i cried. and it was a really well done montage, despite audrey's bad IT skills, as she puts it. thanks for all the efforts, audrey, 406 will rmb it.
especially if you're kind enough to burn every one of us a copy(:
and for the finale, the whole school crowded into the hall to bid our principal, Mdm Mak, farewell. She's leavin to accept a post in Hong Kong International School as their principal. It was another touchy moment, but as usual, lynn was makin a huge fuss coz the girls took off one of her shoes and had thrown it somewhere -.-"
sighh..i guess some spots in 406 will never be changed(:

You must know that nanyang tchrs are known to set physics papers that are literally impossible to do, they are famous for giving weird questions every yr, and it's like an evil reputation they have to live up to. You must also know the suffering of some physics students, such as yours truly, who fail to listen attentively in class for the entire yr and is unfortunate enough to sit for a paper that is set by her own physics tchr. Lastly, you must know that an average sec4 physics student in ny will generally aim for a pass for any physics paper.
Thus, knowing all 3 points as mentioned above, you will finally know what immense joy and relief it is to me, that I, jenny, not only passed my physics paper this yr, which is absolutely a killer i swear, but passed with a 63(:
WAHHH YAYYYYY!!!!
Honestly. I thought I would definitely fail, like, miserably. But no, I didn't, and though this result is still below average, I exceeded my own expectations, which, by the way, is not very high for sciences.
Oh, and I got the exact same mark for bio, and I must say that is a disappointment, because bio is the only science I can understand and revise for without tearing out my hair and lose sleep.
And not to mentioned I failed the chem paper by 1 mark. But seriously, this yr's chem paper is SO ambiguous. I won't say my answers are wrong, it just so happens what I wrote were not the KEY WORDS, or the CORRECT ANSWER, as they call it. I just detest such papers. So rigid. So inflexible. So evil.
But I don't deny my low capacity of chemical knowledge. My basics are weak, I admit, and chemistry just happens to be one of those subjects that literally live on basics. So since my foundations are weak, I can be prepared to suffer at the hands of chemistry forever, as long as I have to take it. Thus, I shall drop it ASAP. Hopefully when I go NZ.
But strangely, even though I didn't do exceptionally well for this exam, I thought I made improvements, and I actually LIKED what I was studying. Like, I actually really understood some things and found them interesting. I'm even tempted to continue doing practise papers now. So, who knows, maybe I won't drop any science afterall(:
But gosh, I'm telling you, I just SO hate BSP.you know, bicultural programme, the prog my class is in currently. I got a 52% for that, and honestly speaking, I have no idea why my four page answer for a Cultural Revolution question only earned me 6 out of 25 marks.
I studied ok! I probably didn't answer to the point, but the annoying thing is, our form tchr who is the setter, gave us this set of notes with regards to the topic for exam, and she said we just have to memorise everything and write down everything during exam and we'll score.
So those who scored are actually those who cut and paste the notes info from memory, while I, who tried to answer based on understanding and own ability, actually got 6/25. Hmm.
Oh well. At least i passed the overall paper. I'm really tempted to curse now, but something is telling me not to contaminate my blog, so you realise I've been really calm about all these from the start.
Well.
I'M NOT.
School is unfair, and it's really it's a place to pick out the ones whose lives revolve around study from those whose lives revolve around other impt things, like spiritual life and personal interest growth.
And results are just plain stupid and inaccurate in measuring ones abilities. Unfortunately that report card is all that the world sees.
God bless me when dad finds one.
Hmm.

I feel like I can't sleep without posting about what happened during class bbq party. It was truly amazing and magical, very much like my birthday party this year.
I have so much feelings and thoughts inside me..and I really don't know how to post them such that you can understand too. It's a feeling of security, warmth, assurance, trust, faith, love, relief, heartache...and many more!
I just feel that I've learnt alot about my classmates this year, about our nature and what is important to me in life, and in friends.These 4 years have been a great journey of self discovery and learning. They certainly have not been wasted.
There are so much I want to say, so many memories I want to keep forever, so many people I wish to remember, and so many things I hope to do before I leave.. but still, I'm satisfied for now(:
And the highlight of the bbq, for me, is not when I gave my farewell speech, or when peggy, huan n marilyn surprised me with a farewell cake (that was a huge surprise, but not really the best highlight)...
the best thing was when kelly declared April 6th of every yr to be known as 406 Day!!
so now, even if I were to lose contact with anyone in 406 in the future, I know there's a day each year when all 30 of us will be thinking of the times we shared together(:
I wonder how I will think when i read this post again 10 yrs down the road...
