Ok, we got back all our Preliminary results on Tuesday 30 September. Well, actually we got back our papers in drips and drabs, and the last paper to be received was the Bio Paper 3, which hasn't even been gone through yet.

I managed to help Tse Mei find her extra half mark to get her next grade for Bio! *Applause for self* And I've been trying to encourage people who don't think they did well enough, but I'm not sure I've done a good job, because I don't seem the kind who is very encouraging. Hmm.

If you have any doubt about getting your grades, Mr Cheng said to us, on Tuesday afternoon when we were studying in the canteen, that it is possible for your results to increase by two grades, depending on your studying before the A levels. He then asked why the guys playing Frisbee weren't studying! HAHA.

I've been inspired by YJ (Happy Bday!) to put down my progress in terms of grades thus far. B, C, M, L, GP.

CT 1: C , S, A, B, C
Promos: D, U, A, A, C
CT 2: D, U, B, B, B
Prelims: B, B, A, B, B

I may be wrong for some of the grades, because I can't really remember that well. Anyway, I really thank God because I finally passed my Chem, and even better, it was from a U to a B! It was a jump from 39% or so to 61%.

On Tuesday after I came home I told my father my results, and the first thing he said after hearing them was, "Well, it's not yet A right?" I mean, normal people are happy to hear you managed to improve by 5 grades! At least my mother said she's happy that I improved.

Today during Juniors we got into Sunday School groups for a little competition on who could remember what Ben said 3 weeks ago in his slides. We only won because the Sec 2 class marking our paper literally gave us one point per correct word, whereas we gave the Senior/Junior classes one mark per phrase / concept!

My group has all been having exams: Melissa's having PSLE now, Jodie and Nicholas are still having their EOYs, while Stephanie (Happy Bday!) finished hers last week and Marcus has some 11 days to his O levels. Keep praying and working hard, guys!

My sister called just now, and it seems they're coming back for a while next year April. In essence, she utterly ruined my beautiful plan for them to come at the end of May to celebrate my birthday and Yue's in early June.

When we asked why, she said that it's because there's no holidays at that time. I brilliantly offered, "What about Vesak Day?" Which is at the end of May, right? Then she said, "New Zealand doesn't celebrate that!" Oops.

"Then what holiday's in April?"
"Easter!" Apparently they get Good Friday and an Easter Monday! Interesting!

This week will be the last week of school for us, I think, and it's only a 3 day week anyway, since Thursday and Friday are study days. I plan to bring the camera to take photos of everyone! I thought of finding the choir during morning singing and asking them very nicely to sing Lullaby for me to record, but it's probably too much to ask.

(I also really want DBSK's 4th album Mirotic, but I didn't pre-order it like the people smarter than me did. Not that I even know how to. And if I have to wait until it comes out in Singapore stores, it'll probably be, what, Christmas? Everytime I want to download the music I feel a twinge of guilt, so I don't. Stupid twinges!)
