Econs today was rather disappointing. Despite scoring 17/25 for 2 essays, I failed one essay and case study and DRQ was rather bad for almost everyone. Ended up with a super low C or 59. Hence, to sum up my prelims grades,
Biology 59 C
Chemistry 68 B
Mathematics 66 B
Economics 59 C
General Paper 55 B4
Not a really impressive grade to boast about, but I guess it serves to indicate that I have improved since the DDEE I scored for mid-years. It also serves to push me on to try harder to achieve 4 As for A levels and hopefully a B3 for GP. Intensive mugging for me will begin...... Sunday! Think I'll have about 27 days to first paper for A levels.
Recently got addicted to the song "do i make you proud" by taylor hicks. Initially when I heard it on radio I thought it was quite a meaningful and nice song, not knowing who taylor hicks was and that the song was for the american idol final. Realised all these when I saw the video on youtube, and I really like the song. I think the thought of being able to sing a song to thank everyone who has helped and guided you on your way to what you have turned out to be when you rise to the top in whatever we strive for and achieving success in the end. It's simply amazing. I've dreamt of doing so, when I complete university and finally graduate, to sing this song to thank every person who has offered me a helping hand or simple accompanied me on the route to the end. Hope this day will eventually come. Anyway, in the meantime, maybe i can practise singing and I think it really makes singapore idol's "i dream" and "you give me wing" look like child's play.
Been having a dilemma recently, ever since firefly sent me an e-mail to apply for firefly scholarship. I mean, I have interest in the firefly scholarship since the career fair a while ago because STB is one of the boards under firefly. Going into tourism and hospitality is definitely what I hope for, and this scholarship certainly provides such an opportunity. I know the thought of me applying for a scholarship might make a couple of jaws drop, especially mrs mah, but I believe I'll never know until I try. But I've been thinking if it will really close my options for other careers. Studying a course like tourism will certainly not allow me to go into another field. I think I'm being greedy, wanting to grab a new opportunity yet not wanting to let another go? Maybe I'll end up losing both. Anyway, it's not like I'll definitely get it once I apply, and there's still 3 weeks to the closing of the application. Guess I'll have more time and space to really think all these over. I bet many other people in school are quietly applying for these too, while convincing others that they're not interested in it at all. Typical backstabbing.
I gave in to peer pressure and agreed with primero's idea of club med bintan trip. All expenses added will cost roughly $700. Wonder if it's extravagant?
