In case you're wondering,
I do not believe in Valentine's day. My father told me that it's not real. Regardless, my siblings went out and left me feeling like an only child. I thought I would be at least spending the day with my cousins and my grandmother's house.
Sure, I did. For about
4 hours. I didn't even manage to take dinner there. As I'm typing this entry at home, I'm eating tom yam flavoured instant noodles.
Great...Anyway, this week of school was still terrible. However, I can't list them down here as they're kind of private. But there is one thing I can list down here.
I scored
14 out of 25 for the latest chemical equation test. I know I still passed but I realised that I could have gotten 21 if it weren't for my numerous careless mistakes. I didn't have any time to check my work but I know that's just an excuse. So I must remember not to underestimate chemical equation tests ever again.
Speaking of tests, my father asked me in the car today how I was doing so far. I simply said "ok-ok" since I wasn't really sure if my overall performance was good or bad. Then came the inevitable question, "So what JCs are your friends aiming for?"
"AJC" was the obvious answer. I added "Innova JC" since Li Qin is aiming for that one. Then came the
other inevitable question, "So which JC are you planning to go to?" I stopped short at this one.
In a split second, I was forced to consider the options. Firstly, I want to go Poly since I'm now utterly sick and tired of learning things which I'm not going to use in real life. Secondly, since when was it about what I want? So since I can't choose either option, I went with what I though best.
"I'm thinking of going YJC."My father was surprised, if not shocked when he heard this. My mother was ok with it since she likes the school. Then my father went on and on about the importance of choosing the right JC, consider other JCs, blah blah blah. I reasoned that I want to cut down on travelling time as I don't want to travel so far.
And of course, my father told me to consider AJC if that was the case. End of conversation. But it's all right. I still have about a year to decide. In the meantime, I have to concentrate on getting there...
