I can't take this anymore.
It's mid-year and I'm already feeling so stressed up.
I still have to endure for Prelims and the 'O' Levels.

Chapters and chapters of 9 different subjects are yet to be covered.
Marks are not up to standard.
In fact marks are always fluctuating.
It's really demoralising.

Classmates are all improving at an exponantial rate
But I'm still struggling to even improve at a constant rate

Maybe I'm too relaxed?
Still thinking that I'm still in Sec 3 the 'honeymoon' year
I'm not pushing myself hard enough to strive for better results?
Maybe I'm to slack?
Still Blogging even though mid-year is just tomorrow.

Stop dreaming.
SYF is over.
Stop thinking about it.
There's no reason for me not to study.

So, I'll be temporarily 'shutting' my blog during the mid-year period.
Really have to study.
This mid-year will be a gauge mark at where am I standing

OMG! I'm so guilty. I'm like the cause of all this. If not because of my Big Hand, everyone would not have known. To you, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done what I did the other day. I'm really really SORRY! Seriously, I'm so guilty la, Actually the person is not to blame. It's me, I'm to blame. I shouldn't have done that in the first place. It was meant to be a joke, but end up, it has cause a huge problem. I'm So Sorry :(

Had Physics practical and Chemistry test just now. Physics practical was fun, even though I didn't know what I was doing. I forgot what is 1 osscillation. So, I hope that what I did just now was correct. Chemistry was... I should have studied harder. If I were to study, the test would be easy. Too bad I didn't study. Just hoping I can get that Distinction.

Tomorrow, re-test for 2.4Km run. Everyone would not believe how much I got for the run on Friday. I fail fail badly, thus, I have to re-run tomorrow. Darn! And I htink I'll be the only one running in my class cause the rest passed, I think. I still don't know if I want t re-run or I just let the fail grade be there and don't get any award for Napfa test this year. BTW, is Napfa test counted in the entry of JC? If not, I why bother re-run again? Waste time and energy only.

Congratulations to the 6 DMN for the year 2010

Should I go or not? I still can't decide. $25 for 2 hours per session. Is it too much? Will I benefit from it? I still can't make up my mind. Well, Shahirah asked me to join the same E Maths tuition as her at some tuition centre. I've made up my mind but I'm having second thoughts about it. Is it worth it? All these questions are running in my mind. I don't know if I should follow her or just stick with the old tuition centre that I go last year. I really can't make up my mind. I have to decide by tomorrow. I really hope that I dream about something today that will help me decide. Teehee :D

I'm getting use to the life of Sec 4s in TK. Everyday after school got extra lesson. After the extra lesson got one on one with teacher. Then on Saturday, there is extra lesson for certain subject. Plus, holidays, there will be truncated lessons. Not forgetting the tests every fortnight and every even weeks english level tests. I guess this will continue until after O level, or maybe after October. During term 1, I was thinking if I could survive this hardship, now, I think that I'm picking up well and surviving school and extra lessons well. Just need a little weapon, to keep me awake, my SWEETS :p

The closing season for Band is today. I'm so going to miss band these 3 weeks. I'm already missing band when it's just closing for Mid-year. Imagine how I would feel after I step down. I wonder how life going to be without band. I will really miss falling out to take attendance and missing meeting the Bandmasters in the office, missing taking the tuners from the librarians, there will really be a whole long list of things that I will miss during the mid-year break and after I step down. I still can't believe I'm already a Sec 4, waiting for her time to step down for the TK Band.

Mid-year in 1 weeks time. Guess what? I haven't even started on my revision yet. Still thinking when will I ever start studying properly for a particular subject. Sastera? Geog elect? Social Studies? Which one should I start first? On top of that, there is still chemistry test for me to study for this coming Monday. I really pity my poor brain of mine, have to remember alot of information in a short period of time. I was thinking to myself just now, a computer can run out of space to store information. Will human reach that kind of stage also. If there is, I think I also need to have a thumbdrive to store the extra informations. Ok. Whatever, I'm just being lame.

School is very stressful nowadays. I thought after SYF, life would be less busy, in fact, it's the same as during SYF period. Everyday school ends at 2, then the usual after school lesson starts. Then, at 4 plus plus, we will have to sit for test that we missed during the SYF period. So yeah, we will go home around the same time as when there is Band practice. I was so happy that we could skip the tests during SYF period, but now I'm regretting it. The number of tests is like as if I can take Mid-year already. And most of them are content-based subjects. I really pity my poor little brain. Don't worry brain I will buy a thumbdrive soon and store the infomations there. Just hang in there for now.

I was looking through youtube and came across the 1996 TK Band video. I was awed by the video. Their drills, damn damn damn good. Lift BOTH legs 90 and point their toes. When they march, they dig their hills. Spin with a blink of an eye. It was simply magical. And I think that's what lacking in our display this year. The *TK Band Magic*

I know this may sound outdated or stuff like that. But yesterday's post was already so long. I don't want to bore the readers by writing alot of stuff. So yeah, I will continue what I want to write yesterday here.

I would like to thank all those who wished me happy birthday, through sms, friendster and tags. Sorry if I couldn't reply to those on friendster, cause it's lagging like crazy. I only managed to reply those who wished me through sms. I was so touched by all the smses. This is like my first time receiving Birthday wishes. But this year, it's a bit different cause I receive birthday wishes cum smses about the band. I'm very touched by all the wishes. Once again THANK YOU!!!

WIll post pictures of my presents soon. Haven't got time to upload yet.

This song is nice. Dedicated to all TK Band members. Listen to the chorus part.

And the results for SYF Display Band Competition. Band number 2, Tanjong Katong Secondary School, Gold With Honours.

Everything happened so fast. But it will forever be etched in my heart. The whole 8 minutes, TK BAND has put up a very excellent show. I'm really proud of the whole band. Our show was indeed sizzling hot even though we only did it in like 4 months. Yeah, and I must say that the Sec 1s did a very good job. No, everyone did a good job.

Even though Deyi Band won it this year, they're not going to hold that title for long. TK Band would be back stronger than ever in 2010. Maybe another revoluton would happen. Only time will tell. But for sure, even though I have graduated by then, I will still support the TK Band no matter what. After all, TK Band have been part of me ever since I step into secondary school. So yeah, we'll grab the Best Display Band and Best Durm Major award in 2010.

After the result was announced, I could feel my whole body numb. I didn't know what was my reaction. I just couldn't store the fact in my mind. Everyone around me was shedding tears. Beside me Mardhiah, behind me Firza. After Team TK came to the block in the field, then I started shedding tears. I could see that Team TK and the alumi was disappointed about the result, but somehow, they're really, REALLY proud of the TK Band. I just couldn't look at them in the eyes, cause, we have really dissapointed them, all their hard work, planning for the magnificant display. I really take my hat off to them. Team TK, thank you for all the things you have done for us!

I was really touched by the endless support given by the school. After the result we moved to below the gallery to do our final show for the school. What really touched me was, the whole school came from their original place to where we are standing. And they keep cheering us on. I couldn't help it but to shed tears. At that point in time, Mdm Nora came to me ans asked me not to cry infront of the school. The last run through at the Grand Old Lady was simply magnificant. Even though we already knew the results, we still did our best for that final run through. The way how we kept our fabric fan even though we were shedding tears. What really touched me the most was, some people who I thought didn't give a damn about TK Band was cheering us on and also shedidng tears together with us. This really showed me the TK spirit that I didn't see 2 years ago when we were victorious. Like what Mr lee said, the spirit of the school only shows at the worst times.

Deyi band may got the star that we wanted, but we are the real stars. Stars will always be shining in the sky. It all depends on the sky if it's gloomy or bright. For TK Band, this year the sky was gloomy. But 2010 our stars will shine bright and forever will be bright.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have supported us throughtout the whole show and preparations to the show. Mr Azlan, Mr Sumitra, Team TK, Alumni, Teachers, Sars, Parents, TKsian and last but not least, everyone in the TK Band!!! I'm so proud to be a TK Band Member.
