The first week of sch has been great! Have never felt so high and energised despite sleeping at nearly 12 for 3 nights straight.
I screwed up tues chi test. Welp, i don't really care anymore, being in the same boat as everyone else, and it holds little waitage. What's impt now is to score a straight A1 for O level Chinese Oral, which is exactly one week from now.
I have been terrified of O Level Oral lately. But not anymore. I've been reading my zuo wen book for the past few days. Trust me, it works. Highlight good phrases. They'll be a great help. And practise. The golden tip: don't freak out. Keep your mind clear like a cup of water. You can see straight to the bottom when it's undisturbed. Similarly, all you've studied would just come out of your mouth better than ever when you calm down. If you get scared, imagine the examiner in a bikini xD. And never, ever be complacent. You could just drop to the bottom if you are over confident.
So friends, I wish every single one of you sitting for Oral the very, very best. I believe all of us can do very well. never mind if you screwed up in the school oral, like i did, bcos i'm sure you can do it this time!! jiayou!! :D
A consolation: I am really happy with my Bio test and Eng Oral marks. :D:D
Another Very Good Thing: No more tests this week!! :D I'm a free woman now. There's an AM test next wk. Don't fret, as long as you're prepared.
Got my IC today. The money spent on taking extra passport photos really didn't go to waste!! :D
There's Sports day this Sat! Heard it'll be very fun!! :D I'm gonna bring some study notes just in case though.
Mon is Youth day!! Going out :D May watch eclipse :)
Anyone interested to join me in vegetarianism? I'd love to encourage everyone :} For a few reasons:
1. I believe most of us will be rather disturbed if we watch animals get slaughtered. Let's face it. As i'm writing such things are going on.
Bcos of all of us. That is the very reason why i became a vegetarian.
2. It helps to save the environment. Animals give out methane, a greenhouse gas, adding to the greenhouse effect. Furthermore, livestock take up much land and resources. If more people switch to vegetarianism, more land could be used for other purposes, including growing crops.
Millions are starving worldwide. This could really make a difference to their lives.3. Diseases like bird flu, madcow disease are brought about by consuming animals. If you don't do so, you probably won't contract such diseases. Furthermore, when you become vegetarian, there is a lesser chance of overeating on buffets and fast food etc. And then get really sick when you're old.
4. It may help you slim down. I don't know about others, but i lost 2-3 kg after turning vegetarian :D
5. You save money. I'm spending less in school when i don't add the meat dishes. Useful if you're on a budget. Now i've more money for movies! :D
6. Vegetarian food can taste great! You'll be surprised when you find the right places. Went to eat dim sum last week. My, it was great!!
7. I know your family can be a really big problem. they do that out of love, bcos they're worried for your health. But yes, we still can be healthy without eating meat!! Just take more nutrients esp calcium. Perhaps you might choose to cut down on meat intake and/or observe veg on certain days.
Whatever it is, gd effort! 我支持你!!:D
