Well, last day of school before they unleash the prelims results on the sec 4s, and yet another day of 3 hours of JC talks.
SAJC and AJC were the usual boring crap any other JC could give, but most interestingly, PJC was rather entertaining. Not that I’m inspired by them at all, but being the JC that they are, they were trying really hard to debunk the common misconception (if you believed them, that is) that PJC isn’t a school for single digit L1R5ers.
Well, of course, they don’t exactly have a great image when it comes to cut-off points, but their presentation (altho unprofessional with Comic Sans font and WordArt headings) were at least a good attempt at humour. Also, they used their A Level results to brag. Of course, their top 2 students for last year’s A Level was none other than the uber BP Astro duo, Choon Hwee and Xin Li, both getting AAAB and AAAA respectively. Well, to enlighten some of you, these 2 jokers were from BP Astro, graduated when I was sec 2 (you do the math), and both achieved their lowest possible L1R5 of 6 points. That could bring them to a more decent JC, like say, NJC, but instead, they decided to occupy space in PJC, leaving the borderline cases of 17 pointers being rejected out from PJC. Of course, they topped their cohort at PJC by a unimaginably big margin. And just to add on, the PJC Astro Club was also founded by an ex-BP Astro head, Jermyn.
And so the talk ended after a briefing on writing YOUR OWN testimonial. I mean, how lazy can the school get. They’re supposed to write testimonials for us, and now they want us to write it for ourselves, and submit it to them for verification. =___=
Mrs Hoe offered us to stay for the sec 2s’ debate, but apparently, no one was very much interested and I had to follow the crowd and leave well =___=
Uh… then came back to school during the evening, for the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration organised by the school. ‘Had a presentation of the new school, which apparently, has a 2-storey sports hall and a 3-storey sports complex along with a 500-seat auditorium and whatnot. Lalalala not that it matter to me… 5.3 million goes into upgrading the school after I leave. My only consolation is that the current sec 2s and 3s will not have an experience in the school any better than me after movin’ to the holding site and taking their O Levels there =P
And once again, stargazing was no stargazing with the clouds. So, uh, the juniors resulted to catching, which I tried very hard to act of my age, but… Ahh never you mind! ^^
Mdm Yu then bought us some (mini) mooncakes and pastries, and we went home! Lalalala I love anticlimax endings.

Prelims are finished, and so am I.
I think.
…
Anyways, with the prelims over, it’s awfully boring now. Teachers’ themselves can’t find anything to do with the sec 4s now, and you-know-who simply came in to class and joked for an hour. If teachers boring us isn’t bad enough, what was even more dreadfully horrendous was the boredom from the JC talks.
‘Right. So we have a bunch of higher-status people from the JCs coming to the school hall, bragging about their JCs, and occasionally mocking our school’s IT equipment.
And Hwa Chong’s 1 hour talk was entirely pointless, something which the speakers fail to point out until the end of their presentation, when they say that the cut-off point for HCI was 4 points, unsurprisingly of course. Interestingly, they started off their talk with a ‘ What comes to your mind when you hear the name “Hwa Chong”? ‘, and everyone was whispering among themselves stuffs like “arrogant” and “gheys” and “muggers”. =X
Same stuffs gonna repeat tomorrow, but at least it’s much better than receiving back the prelims results =P

But knowing our famed efficiency, obviously nothing has been on display as of now, altho I actually preferred it that way. You ask why?

how large is the model?
Sujay Natson said:
1.5m x 0.5m
• HEL¡X™ • said:
that’s pathetically small, isnt it?
Sujay Natson said:
well yes
• HEL¡X™ • said:
soo… it’s just the model and the posters? wouldnt it look awfully embarrassing?
Sujay Natson said:
Obviously it is, no wonder no one wants to man it
Sujay Natson said:
Mr Loh said ” either you do it well or you dont do it at all “
Sujay Natson said:
Some changes have to be made to it, like decorations, and then we will come in the morning, on Wed, to bring it from the Lang lab to the canteen
• HEL¡X™ • said:
it’ll still be embarrassing
Sujay Natson said:
yes
…
…
…
• HEL¡X™ • said:
look, if you wanna set up something decent, ya gotta include the scopes for an ASTRO club.
Sujay Natson said:
I think Derek that its a little bit too late for changes
• HEL¡X™ • said:
so we’re gonna embarrass ourselves, is that it?
Sujay Natson said:
with enlarged newspaper articles as posters and an unprofessionally done model made up of fruits, yes
• HEL¡X™ • said:
in that case… there’s really a need for the scopes
Sujay Natson said:
that idea was dismissed a long time ago as it was not safe
Sujay Natson said:
but can give it a try, again.
Whaaaat? An astronomy booth without telescopes? I mean, not my choice of words, but that’s like a porno flick without the nudity. So thus totally defeats the entire purpose of astronomy =___=

Wowee.
‘kay… most of the papers are over already; In fact, I’m left with a rather insignificant Chemistry Paper 1… and a dreadful O Levels.
Yupp, that’s pretty much about it, no biggie, just O Levels which (as today’s Strait Times would say) is taken in Prisons as well.
Soo… by now, it’s reasonable to estimate how well (would be easier to measure it on the un-well scale tho) we did for the prelims, and…
Shaun says, with his estimated L1R5 aggregate, he’ll go PJC.
And Huaice says if Shaun ends up at PJC, he’ll be dropping out of school, working at McDonald’s.
And as for the rest of us unprofessional muggers, we’ll be at Changi Prison. Where there’s free lodging, free dining, and basketball games! Oh and not to mention, the opportunity to retake O Levels and proceed to A Levels!
Wowee!
Ok… you should get the idea of how well this prelims has inflated our L1R5.
In related news, among a certain bunch of sec 4s, there’s a new verb that has been accepted into comprehendable language. And as you might have guessed it, it’s none other than “McDonalded”! Yup, it’s linked to dropping out of school and working at McDona- ah, to put it simply, it’s usually used like, “Ohh noooes! I mcdonalded my Chemistry!” or in extreme circumstances such as A. Math, “OMG WTF KNN CB KPKB The paper’s so damn bloody mcdonalded lah!” Oh and don’t ask me what those abbreviation means =)

Humanities - Social Studies, Geography and Literature:
Screwed geography; strong feeling that I screwed SS; Lit was okay. But since Lit and SS are a combined subject, it’s a screw-one-screw-both scenario.
A Math Paper 1:
Was alright… expectedly. Paper 2 should be the killa tho.
Physics:
Went quite well actually, to the hell with paper 2 and practicals, but it’s decent that paper 1 should get 37/40.
E Math:
The most intriguing subject. Granted, it’s ELEMENTARY mathematics, blah, whatever. Well… E Math lived to its name in Paper 1, where it gave almost everyone an impression that it’s another free A1 subject. Paper 2 came in and at the end of 2 hours, a colourful spectrum of vulgarities could be heard from cohort, as it was simply the most imba and f-ing subject. I mean, E Math is supposed to be a free A1, but as evident in below, it wasn’t.
