Start of school and start of a new year. What didnt change is my parents still continue the nagging. You know, "Why the hell are you in CJC... ", "A Victorian shouldnt be in CJC- it should have been VJC..."
I kinda feel jaded. Should I have appealed? Even knowing chances are slim. To say the truth, I feel disappointed in CJC. I wished I had worked harder then but these thoughts only plagued those who actually havent. And I know then I would try to leave no regrets. Perhaps I might be the 2nd President Scholar of CJC in the last 25 years.
Habits that I already started cultivating- pre-reading all lecture notes and doing my homework in advanced. I am determined to be one of the top in CJC. Top 10. I couldnt do so in VS but I could try to beat my compatriots here in CJC.
My day was okay. A unpleasant surprise was finding out I was one of those rare A1s in school. There was perhaps 4 in every 100 students? Chinese- Distinction for A' levels. Another target set for myself. Other news- I placed Judo as my second choice CCA. I gotta be mad. Still, I would love to be in something new.
Interact Club is my 3rd choice but that is if I failed to get into Debates, my first choice. The problem is my Englsh grades: B3. And more importantly, I have 4 ulcers located around my mouth. This means I am slurring ALL my words. How the heck am I supposed to go through with the impromptu test?
And as I typed my way into these paragraphs, my father had just told me he better see me in the top 10 of CJC- or there will be hell to pay. My family is strict, more so because my brother is from Hwa Chong Gifted Programme. (Thanks, bro) H2 lessons seem to be tough but not undo-able. I suspect the teachers are exaggerating the difficulty of the subjects, just to make us study more. Pointless to me since I am determined to outstudy everyone, even with my father nagging at me to do so.
Top 10 and full Distinctions. And 4 ulcers for Debates trials. Great week. And I think it is bound to get even better. Judo trials anyone?
