to say the very least, the past week has been, contrary to my prior belief, rather slow paced and in layman terms, slack.
the stress of the examinations has evidently not reached us, or at least, me yet.
however, the arrival of the prelims has blatantly spelt out how quickly the months has passed.
barely 50 days from this day, we would be heralding the arrival of the dastard and dreaded o-levels. for me, my first paper would be the MEP practical. the prelims' has given me a rather substantial boost in both my morale AND my confidence in my ability to perform in my practical.
of course, it is no where near the standards set not by myself, but by my MEP teacher. her relief that i managed to salvage my terrible mid-year performance was quite clear, but her disappointment at my still immature playing skills still evident.
it all boils down to one thing. practice. undoubtedly, i had been guilty of neglecting my instruments, especially the cello. my accompanist nathan, i must say, really has my utmost respect as a friend. his enthusiasm and focus is really commendable. thanks nathan, without you, i would really have been slaughtered by mrs li. so sorry that you had to take some of my dirt from her though. you were really really good.
hail the holidays people. this one week, is not just for rest and relaxtion, but it is of course, the best time we would ever have to study.
personally, the prelims are going to be more important to me than the actual o-levels.
my chinese o-level results had reignighted my secondary 3 dreams to enter VJC, the fire of which had died due to torrid mid years.
i need to do well in my prelims to secure the 2 bonus points i might not have during the o-levels.
i cannot stress how pivotal this prelim exams would be to my pre-tertiary education. of course, my ultimate aim is to become a lawyer. through my years in school, especially this year, i have found much pleasure in arguing my case in front of authority, always trying to find loopholes for a way out. on that note, i really must say sorry to my teachers, especially a certain one who i have pleased myself by out-talking on a few occasions. but i shall not wallow in self-praise now.
being a lawyer is really challenging.
enough said.
