Well, save for the exclusion from the nomination list, I've had a rather good day today.
It all started off from the first lesson, PE. It is always and have been one activity i dread and detest. I don't like running, but im alright with other aspects of it though. PE teacher made a sudden statement that we'll be runnin the 2.4km today! Good lord, how anxious and nervous she made us feel for that few seconds to process the information. But oh wells, we can't procrastinate can we? So just go with the flow. Since I hate running so much, then there must be somethin to motivate me during the run. Was searching through. What shall it be? Then......got it! That is......since Rui En can do it, so can I! So that it is. To press on. To perservere. For the LUFF of Rui En. I had set out to make it for only a pass. Hahaha but suprisingly yes it is very suprising...i got a 15.32 timing. And wat more...i didnt train at all. It was all the power of the mind. You set it. You can achieve it. I was dumbfounded. Really. I dont usually get that timing. Even when i practiced many times, it usually hovers around the range of 16 plus.. Ya that was the first unexpected thing.
Just past 12 noon, i had English lesson. Since she took over as our teacher, I've always looked foreward to English. I too aspire to be as good as her. She made English a pleasure to learn. Like piano. Although a skill which needs a lot of hard work, patience and practice, its all surreal. I enjoy it. The process. The result(sometimes only though). But generally yes. So, wat had gotten to me during this very special EL lesson? I guess it was the result. The black and white proof that the hard work was worth it. I don't know how it happened. But it did, somehow, unconsciously. Throughout the whole of my sec 3 and so far sec 4 days...I've never. Never ever passed my EL compre...no matter wat...Be it class tests, exams or even normal class work. How much effort i had put in for those...but no result. This time. I had broken a record, and I'm proud to say that I'm elated. Indeed I am very, extremely. Because not only did I pass, I did well. The highest in class was 19/25 and i got 16/25. For compre, I had always been the bottom few in class through sec 3. This is an assurance. Finally, after those re-strategising and practice every single week without fail, I got to taste success. It's sweet. Very. Diabeticly sweet. And now, through this, I've learnt to not let down my guard, still....pressing on and on...for the ultimate Os. With distinction. I'll do it.
Then it was after school. Candice asked me to call. I did. And the news was broken. Yes i am disappointed. At first, the pain pierced. Then i managed to get hold of myself and prevent myself from breaking down. Goodness, i don't want the school to see me crying on the phone la. Like beaking up with bf. Haha. Well. Then again. Although we just ache thinking about it, what can we do? Like I said, She's such a terribly, fiercely good, honest and sincere actress, but still devoid of her well-deserved accolades and superlatives. After all the slamming at us and the ultimate hatred from others, I'm numb from the pain. But, still, deep down inside, there's still a silver lining... a glimpse of hope that she'll still be able to be appreciated and recognised for her efforts. Right now, I am still feel down from that but thank goodness there was the Oscars to cheer me up, at least on my birthday. And my friends. Thanks. I'll always and forever luff and support and traverse the road less travelled with RBKD and Her.
The Oscars. Wow. Yes! Kate Winslet once again! I was screaming and jumping at the calling of her name. She's one phenomenal actress. Sean Penn too. although i wasn't that mad when he won, but i was smiling inside. What is this? A perfect example of fairness. Equality. Of not being biased. Can't S'pore be like that?
Should I be glad or sad?
