Friday, December 21, 2007 ; anthem of love
i got into the JC of my choice! praise jesus. what i wanted, was to go to CJC for the first three months, then go to TJC. but then when the posting results of the PAE came out, i missed CJ by one point. so praise jesus for the favour that i had (and am still having, and will continue to have) when i appealed. i really want to go CJC at first, cos i would have the 2 extra affiliation bonus points. but after going for their open house, what really really made me want to go was cos of this literature teacher that i was talking to, in the library, for questions about the subjects taken in JC. and i loved the way she was so passionate about literature, the way she talked about literature, and i knew right then that if i go to CJ and took lit under her, i would definitely score. and also she said that the lit distinction rates there were higher than national average. and she also said that even if you dont take literature, you can still take lit, cos CJC teaches lit, as if you havent taken it before. and she also mentioned that there are some students who didnt take lit in sec sch, but still did well in JC. and i think good lit teachers are really really hard to find. and you know what? i dont know if i want to go TJC afterall anymore. but thats for me to decide again when the O level results come out.
and SAJC also called me. i appealed there not through CCA, but the teacher called me, and asked me to come down for a time trial. i was very reluctant, cos i havent trained for seven months already! i wanted to work too, and also cos i wanted to do my manicure and nail art, which i figured out that i wouldnt get to do until after my A levels are over, which would be in two years time! i couldnt do my manicure, cos the nail polish would chip in the water. i guess the chlorine corrodes it or something.
anyway yesterday i trained abit, with charis lim. we met at tampines, cos we wanted to go to the safra there. but i forgot to bring the card! and they didnt allow non-members/public to use their facilities during public hols. so we took a bus down to kallang basin swimming complex. we didnt want to go to a public pool, cos we thought it would be crowded, but the pool was deserted. except for about 4 people. perhaps cos it was raining too. and i tried the plunges. charis was so patiently patient with me. we came to the pool at 11plus, and left at 4! then we bused all the way to sengkang, to eat chicken don. haha. but it wasnt nice. then we took a train to kovan, and went to this nike sale. they have quite good stuff for a sale, but the sale wasnt that cheap though.
and today for the SA time trial thingy, my timing was horribly horrible! gosh. so of course i wasnt accepted. but yet i was kinda disappointed when i wasnt accepted, because the teacher who called me, from the words he used, gave me the impression that he was very interested in accepting me into SA. so i had kinda expected to get accepted. anyway, Abba really really made all things work out for good. if i hadnt taken leave today, and decided not to go to SA, had the teacher not persuaded me to go for the time trial thing today, i wouldnt have been able to go for the CJC interview, and thus not go into CJC, cos i would have been working! and had it not been for yesterday, when charis and i took a bus to sengkang just to eat that chicken don, i wouldnt have known where SRJC was. so that today when i needed to go to SR from CJ to get my form signed, i knew exactly where SR was. and if i had gotten into SA, then i wouldnt have gotten into CJ, which given a choice, i would rather go CJ, cos its better in arts, while SA is better in science.
and on wed night, i was suppose to go shopping at bugis with gina. but she couldnt make it, and i dinner-ed with marika! haha i've suddenly been going tampines everyday. from monday to today-friday. but my going there was coincidental. haha. we dinner-ed at pastamania, and we talked until i lost track of time, and my mum called me. but i really enjoyed talking, and listening to her share! praise jesus for her (:
