Am getting quite a bit of stress at school. Not really because of my students, but because of what I have to do. Again, I don't think I should say so much here.
Am now listening to JJ Lin's ai yu xi wang quite a few times over. Scoring it now, and transcribing it down to F major. That passes most of my time, along with school stuff and reading my book from Taiwan.
I notice that the books I bought from Taiwan have a very different writing style from those I typically read, by Western or even Singaporean authors. The language and form of writing used is much different from other books I have read....a little more harsh and direct, but also somehow more....intense. Not that there's anything bad about it, but I'm a little unused to the way they write things. Nothing's bad about the stories though, they're good.
Finally can do something I wanted to for some time.

School starts again tomorrow, and my holiday's over. It was a good break though and I had a good time with the other teacher friends. It could have ended much better, but I've never been a very lucky person.
I've applied to all the universities and am randomly applying for some scholarships. I doubt I'll get any, but I'll just go for it. No reason not to, no loss. Hope nus and smu take mi. I'd probably prefer them to ntu. But I do want to try staying in a hall, for awhile.
Please let time pass a little faster.....selfish of mi to say, I'm sorry.

It's been a long time since I last posted again, I'm sorry.
Holidays are ending and I've got to go back to school soon. Different meaning from what it used to mean last time. Not exactly looking forward, but what must be done must be done.
Went out with the other relief teachers over the holidays. I really hope we can keep in contact after we finish up at Bedok Green. You all are a really nice group to be with =) I can help you finish your meals!
Spending time making worksheets and online learning packages now. It's quite stressful cos there're deadlines to meet for this. Hopefully I don't get too many classes when I go back to school.
Settled nus and ntu applications. Hope they get approved. Going to do smu's soon.

I will have to get my university applications in order soon, if not tomorrow. Hopefully I can get at least one done tomorrow....nus's is quite easy to do. Smu's requires a whole lot of stuff to write.....ntu's is somewhere in between. Not sure where I'd apply in ntu though. Most likely nus I'll be applying into fass.....and smu into econs. Ntu unconfirmed as of now. I am somewhat.....tired of thinking sciences already.
I'm also thinking of applying for a scholarship. My grades aren't really shining, but where this is concerned it can't hurt to try. For university application it's really do or die cos this is my last chance and smu isn't making it easier for mi. If I don't make it this time, I am headed into ntu chemical engineering.
Have managed to score the main melody of xiao jiu wo by JJ Lin and am adding some embellishments. Would anyone like to hear it? I think it'll be nice when I finish, along with my 1000 words.

Today is.....was....A Level results day, and though I didn't go back to smell the ashes, I do hope everyone did well for it. Congratulations to all! =)
Now, I must seriously make a decision regarding university re-application. I think I've more or less made up my mind. Better do it soon before I forget. Still so unsure about so many things. Although somehow I think in the long run, it won't really matter all that much.
I will not talk about my relief teaching job here. It's just coming on allright, I guess.
Haven't got anything to say, really....just felt like typing something!

It's been a long time since I last posted....I'm sorry. My new year weekend and holiday was fine, ended wonderfully.
Am now relief teaching at Bedok Green Secondary. It isn't an easy job at all.....I don't think I should say too much here. I don't know if I can stay after the teacher I'm relieving returns from medical leave, but I will most likely leave and go over to my aunt's school. I don't think Bedok Green will need mi there anymore, anyway.
Have scored 1000 words from Final Fantasy X2, as well as written a short, very simple tune....I played it on the harmonica on the last day of my NS in camp, under the name "Morning of farewell". Have now adapted it to piano with accompaniment and some minor embellishments.
Am now probably going to apply into econs courses in university. I should have done this years ago. This is what I get for setting your university course target in sec 3. We must have foresight, but we probably shouldn't get ahead of ourselves like that.
I really.....want to do something soon.
