Today went for CIP at Toa Payoh. Actually the yields were much better as compared to last year. At least the tin feels considerably heavy after you have been lugging it for a while =) Bleagh. I actually don't like flag day. At first you smile and ask the person if they would donate for a good cause, but after some time, the smile is sooo fake and you hardly bother to complete your sentence since when you reach the part where you are about to ask them to bother, they either:

1) smile and walk away
2) say, "Sorry, no coins." As if there is something wrong with giving notes
3) quickly take out their phones and start yakking
4) give you that look- like we are beggars or something
5) try to nonchalently show us they are carrying heavy stuff
6) just smirk; like feeling glad they are not us
7) hold on tight to their kids- like we were gonna kidnap them
8) pretend they never see or hear us
9) dao us

or

10) fumble for their wallet/purse, and slit in 10 or 20 cents into the tin

No. 10, however, is sadly the minority. No, I'm not saying that CIP is shit or what, but that was how the people reacted. Sian. It was lucky that the person didn't say anything when we returned the tin. Haha. I heard some comments like, "Very, very, very bad." Lol. So much for CCA points. Gotta run, post again next time.

Had this long inspiring talk with Kane last night when I was suppose to be studying about Electrolysis. He actually made me realised a lot of stuff I have failed to see, or rather, never really understood.

He first went on about his experience during his 'O' levels year, saying that there wasn't enough time to cover everything and stuff. However, he did mention that at the start of the year (like us now), he felt that there was still so much time, why study so hard now? Haha. Actually that is exactly what is going in my head now. =X But after what he said, I think I'm gonna start my studies maybe in a few days time...

Yup and he went on about other things which I'm curently too lazy to type about, which already made me feel considerably nervous about the 'O's. I'm so very afraid I again will not enter the JC of my choice, or even to JC at all. Entering ZH is like one of the regrets in my life can. Not even my top 3 choices. But then, look on the bright side. Fear is good. At least it will motivate me to study. =D

Today's chem paper was like shit. It was as though I didn't study properly. Or maybe I didn't study properly. Oh well. What's done is done. So long as I learn from it will I ever improve. =) I will be lucky to get away with a B...
