Thailand Trip

I'd my ups & downs in the Thailand Trip. Went to Thailand on the 22 and returned on the 26. Han Hyo Joo went Thailand on the 26 and I missed her by a few hours, since I board the plane at night and she probably reached at noon. The trip was undoubtedly fun as I got to experience things that I'd never done before like the parachute flying and sea walking. I've also gone to many attractions in Bangkok, like the floating market, dreamworld, chinatown and many more. Pattaya was fun too, especially the Alcazar performance. It's hard to believe that I'm actually saying this but.. those man were pretty.. The beach at pattaya was so clear, and the sand was so fine. However, I did not get to do much there because the sea walking took so much of my time away.. All the waiting seriously spoils the fun. Oh, and one more thing, the service there sucks big time. Rude and unorgainised. In Bangkok, dreamland, I'd so much fun that I didn't even noticed that I lost my freaking phone. MY LG OPTIMIUS 2X.. The phone that cost me a bomb.. Gone. By the time I realised, I'd already have no ways to get it back. Some asshole probably found it and keep it for themself. Those lucky ass... Nevertheless, the trip was good. I got lots and lots of souvenirs for my friends and my parents estimated the cost of the trip to be SGD 5000. Expensive but worth it. Hopefully next stop would be Seoul, Korea!!

Priceless

Today is the I receive my o level results and this is exactly what happened. I'm pretty much confident and had high expectation of my results. I could still sleep well and eat well the day before receiving the results. Well, but today, things were a little different. No matter how prepared or how confident you're, on the actual day, you can't help but apprehend. I'm not sure why, but anxiety did not occur because I fear I might not do well or anything.. But because it needs to be there, or it might seem as if I'm over-confident and God might give me a retribution for that. Yeah, it necessary I say. I could not have my lunch because I felt sick in the stomach. I didn't show it, but my heart are beating faster everytime I think about the results. Luckily, the atmosphere wasn't as bad as last year. Not many people were seen in despair compared to last year, but this is only my perspective... Maybe I was too busy minding my own business. The new principal started off by talking about the percentage of improvement and stuff.. Then, things get interesting when she started announcing the top students of the year. The top of the express classes got an aggregate of 9 for L1R5. I was stunned by her remarkable results, oblivious that the principal had started announcing the top 3 of the sec 5 class. What made me even more stunned was the name on the screen. I was caught off guard. That's mine freaking name! Everything flashes pass so quickly. I knew I wasn't in my right mind. But in any case, I went up and collect my results. I could not believe it. What disappoints me was that my L1R5 is 20. Yes, I'm a top student for sec 5.. but I can't even be compared to the sec 4 express student. I'm like a prawn.. a freaking prawn. But anyway,I'm a top student and I should be happy. I got a L1R4 of 15, and minus 2, I got 13. That's pretty satisfying although my target was 11. I couldn't get into the course I want.. But there are still lots and lots of courses I'm eligible for. Choosing the right courses is no easy task either. I've 4 days and make my choice and this is going to affect my future, greatly. Despite my results and recognition, I wasn't feeling exactly good today. The moment I received my results, I felt extremely hungry.. because I skipped lunch. Well, that's not the reason why I wasn't feeling good. The reason is probably because I won't be seeing her anymore. If I wanna take a chance, it'd right now. But, it's really stupid for me to make a new friend right now. For most of the time, I was thinking if something could happen.. between us? I saw her looking at me for a moment and I felt worse. For a few times she was right next to me but nothing could be done. I wish I could ask for her results or something.. but shit. Yeah, in the end, nothing changed. She probably see me as a weirdo and she is still my perfect stranger. Thanks.. I thought today.. or rather yesterday, since it's 12.54 now.. was my lucky day. To conclude, the day wasn't bad at all. Full of surprises, and at least I got to see her one last time.

It's here! 2012!

Happy New Year! Although it's a little late for that. The day after tomorrow would be the day I receive my edusave award. The coming would be the judgement day and the momment of truth, where I receive my O level result. Since 2011 has ended.. I can conclude that watching korean dramas is one of the most frequent active I'd done on that year. Ofcourse, I've watched many impressive drama like Dong Yi, Spring Waltz, Secret Garden, Dream High and others.. some are yet to be finished like 49 days and Smile, Donghae. But none of these dramas have as much impact and influence as Queen Seonduk. It not only have an awesome storyline with unexpected twists like Dong Yi, but also filled with beautiful emotions and scenes like Spring Waltz and Secret Garden. Not only that the drama is also inspiring and motivates me, as it teaches the viewers important life values. It made me realise how our ancestor ruled their country, and appreciate their hardship and selfless contribution. It's quite diffcult for a drama to achieve such values. I've also witness the true power of drama. I enjoying watching dramas because it shows me the life of others. Sometimes it maybe be untrue or exaggerated, but it doesn't matter. Exaggeration is good because it gives us hope. Watching dramas also give me ideas in life, and influence the way I behave. Most drama comes with a postive influence, hence I enjoying watch them. In 2012 and the near future, I'm sure my fondness for drama will reminds the same.
