I got my copy and...

Why why why did that character....
It's never going to be the same again.

What on earth did I do to deserve this?

Result slips says: "Discouraging results."
What the...
It doesn't mean that just because my results are bad they are going to discourage me....*sweatdrops*
Maybe it should have been "disappointing". Another form of Shi wang. I'm not going to hate the teacher who worded it. Must have been a language problem.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I really dunno what to do about tomorrow. My parents going to meet the teachers. I'm hoping they would not go...
Perhaps they are going to say the same thing everyone says about me. Too quiet.
People say that I have a lot to write on my blog while I don't when I speak. I don't know, I sometimes just don't feel like talking sometimes on initiative...I don't mean to be rude or hostile or anything...
My EQ would probably be very low...people skills...
People of common interest will usually find it easier to communicate, but I'll still try my best not to isolate myself too much...pardon me for tagging along at many times...
-------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to everyone who came for the SC Investiture...Even though I was pretty occupied with making the event a good one so I didn't notice S07 except for Cherr and gang before the walk-in...
Was afraid I would screw it up...
By the way, I don't think I will be updating the other blog anymore, life is getting busy ever since I resolved to do something about those grades...
I tend to understand Biology better now that Ms Leo goes through the enzymes essay questions. Hopefully it is a sign of a good start.

Daydreaming still...

...of Chrno Crusade.
I'm slightly obsessed with the manga/anime (as I am with Harry Potter). Hopefully the cosplay convention might have something of Chrno Crusade on Sunday...
Maybe someday I might be able to learn Japanese and be able to read those wonderful Japanese fantasy novels the twins are talking about...

Jigglypuff, is of course, much cuter.

GP today was ok. Pretty easy to follow the lesson but there is the tendency for me to drift off halfway...

Can't tell which is better (her or Mr Ben), both has their own good points and weaknesses. Here's my favourite chinese chengyu to sum it all up: Ge you qian qiu.

First term 3 GP homework

My thoughts about the takeaway homework: ...... (AKA dotz)
I prefer to do comprehension work in class.
I decided not to ask anything about what kind of foolscap we should use.
-------------------------------------------------------
I'm (silently) contented with my chinese grade. Getting a B4.
Been keeping quiet about it since Robin was jealous.
It's the only subject where I got a decently good pass...
My secondary school Chinese teacher would have been proud. He always had faith in me even though I was the weakest in the level.
Gotta work harder >=)
-------------------------------------------------------
It's been so long since I updated pokespecial.com
Now I seriously don't know what on earth happened to the webhosting.
Been trying to find Roshawn on MSN but it seems that because of time zone differences...
I miss compiling data for the website and discussing about the website's progress with Mewie and Twiggy in school.
But somewhat, I think I grew suddenly tired of updating. Haven't been drawing Pokemon related fanart for a while already.
I guess I'll just take the time as a Hiatus for now and do something about my bad grades.
I'll end this entry with the last computer graphic fanart of Pokespecial I made...

2 Fs, 1 E

Horrible overall grades...for the first time ever.
I guessed I have underestimated the importance of time.
But what can I do but to rely on inner strength again to overcome my problems?
Failing has already been a part of my life so I guess it isn't too bad this time.
But when will I regain better days again?
------------------------------------------------------------------
Pokémania? Never expected the topic brought up by my class at all...
Here's Slowpoke...

This is my favourite Pokemon...

And the yellow critter...

----------------------------------------------------------------

SC Investiture rehearsal was till quite late today, never been at school till 9 on usual days. But I guess it is a part of being in a CCA which requires a lot of commitment and yet doesn't have a fixed schedule...

I used to be from the Chinese Orchestra so our practice times were regular, till 5pm or so. I still feel nostalgic about my CCA memories whenever I hear those familiar orchestral sounds...

No use for yearning for the past now. Sometimes what we want is not what we really want. I dislike practicing the same songs for 3 hours, and having 2 practices a week is super horrible in my honest opinion...

----------------------------------------------------------

New permanent GP teacher seems like the type that goes by the book...I smell slightly boring GP lessons ahead but oh well...

Whatever the case, I'm glad we did the presentations already. This term is going to be a busier one.

I'm so going to flop...

Apologies about class blog. Maybe Kenneth deleted it because I said I'm not going to have enough time to manage the website/class photos.
I'll get it back up soon with a new layout. However I can't update the class photos anymore so we have to get an online photo album for it.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Those Biology paper memories are starting to haunt me. I'm going to flop that paper badly.
I never had the aptitude for Biology. Yet the Arts sort of subjects (Geography, English Literature) that bored me to death in Secondary school even though I could do well in them most of the time.
Sometimes I wonder why I chose it other than the reason that it will give me a wider career option in the future. I just don't know what I will become in a few years time. With this introverted personality of mine I really can't tell.
My friend in a Biotechnology course in Polytechnic tells me how interesting their courses are, e.g. experimenting with the mixing of A and B type blood cells. Most of their theoretical work is based on practical experience if I'm not wrong. I envy them somewhat.

Maybe the only way is to "si3 du2" (straightforward translation: dead reading). Something I loathe a lot and never used it ever since I left primary school.

Maybe I'm cursed to have no aptitude for things I like or have no hate for.

Sad.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Now my feelings about an Anime/Manga I lately had an interest in:
Anime
Why did Rosette and Chrno had to die?!?!
And to add on to that, they died in vain as Aion still lives on.
With the element of pseudo-religion in it, it is a very confusing story which has a high risk of offending those of that faith.
Manga
It was quite the bittersweet ending. Hope there will be a sequel to it some time in the future with a happy ending.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Gotta restrict myself from playing too much Gunbound...
It's a really fun game. My current status is Double stone hammer; I like to take one Teleport, 2 Heals and one Dual for every battles. 2 on 2 tag battles are my favourite battles. And my favourite bots (In no particular order) are: A. Sate, Nak, Aduka, Ice, Knight, Dragon, Rayon, Turtle and J. Frog (Froggie power!)
Kasidon is not bad either now that I found out that it has to be used at a high angle for the best effect. Mage too.

A. Sate: Love it for the SS, when you are close to opponent and know where exactly to hit. I dunno what SS is, probably super special move? It can give lots of damage if you are accurate.
Nak: Does lots of damage when you are accurate. Only thing is SS is very hard to execute.
Aduka: The electric purple spider. As with Nak, lots of damage and SS is hard to execute. The bot with highest status for Defence, Movement and Attack. This is also my first favourite bot.
Ice: The elephant. Good for executing high angle attacks and causing a drop in enemy bots' defences.
Knight & Dragon: Knight is a fiery horse. Dragon is cute and purple. The special bots that are only attainable by random mode. They are very rare to get. To date, I'm sure I have gotten at least 5 Knights and 10 Dragons. Does extremely high damage but very hard to control.
Rayon: This one is good for long range battles...because it can shoot out 2 little creatures that explode when they crawl to your opponents.
Turtle: Does high damage but weak against electric bots like aduka.
J. Frog: This bot is extremely fast (you get to attack faster than your opponents), but the damage done is considerably average. The speed is definitely the main advantage. Froggie power!

Kasidon: The motorbike. I initially thought that it was a name of some Japanese (noodle?) dish! Good for high angle attacks. Does a lot of damage even though this is one difficult bot to control.
Mage: Decent SS, otherwise average bot. I used to like this bot after Aduka.

Grub: This caterpillar can shoot out 3 balls of energy that cascade down slopes and damage opponents. SS is good when your enemy is trapped in a hole...
Boomer: Good for bunging at high angles. But I still dunno how to use this bot.
Bigfoot: Very good for bunging enemies, otherwise an average bot.
J.D.: Good for bunging enemies at the edge of a cliff because the 2nd shot has a "suck" effect.
Lightning: Average but sometimes useful.
Armor: Just an average bot to me.

Just what I think about the bots I've been using.

Now just 5000 G more before I can get that Singapore flag for a year. Then no one will need to ask Tiachan where she's from.
