Class list out! I kept my fingers crossed, hoping I will be in a class with my friends. But turns out, my class does not have many of my friends, and worse still, a person I detest is in the same class with me.
Ah, I envied Jefferson so much. He is in the class with his good friends. I wish I'm in 4S6, where Wee Chin, Chin Seng and Derrick are. Haiz.........
==Updates==
Geez, why am I so bored? I haven't heard a single complaint from my friends and yet here I am, annoying people because I'm annoyed by the fact that I'm bored.
Anyway, I have changed my blogskin to this. I would use this for months, at least, before I find a more interesting-looking blogskin.

Singapore----------Day 5
The fifth day. We had gone to many places, and we didn't know where else to go. So, we went back to Toa Payoh to have lunch and shop.
While in Toa Payoh, I told my mum to drop me in Popular bookstore, as I was not interested in handbags or shoes. While in Popular, I found that many of the books there were cheap. And I chanced upon to have a look about Singapore's education. Here are what I found out:
1. Singapore O-Level, which is said to be equivalent to SPM, have an English syllabus based on British's. So technically the English of these two countries share the same standard. However, Singapore O-Level Chinese has a unbelievably low standard. Their chinese paper is about the same as Standard 6 in Malaysia. All you have to do is reading the passage and finding the answer. No mind-twisting needed.
2. Their Secondary 1 Maths questions are more difficult than Malaysia's form 3. But their Secondary 4 Malay is much easier than standard 5 in Malaysia.
After staying in Popular for about an hour, we went to buy cheap stuffs. Then we headed back home to get packed and ready to go home.
At night, my uncle brought us to Boon Lay station and we boarded a bus to go home. The bus was enormous, and every seats had personal television. There were many movies for me to watch, and I watched "Windstruck" and "Eagle Eyes". After I finished watching, it was about 1.00am and I slept.
Again, I had sporadic wake-up. This time was worse. Around 4.30am, our bus broke down, somewhere outside the highway. We were stuck in the road and unable to continue our journey. I knew nothing and went back to sleep. Then, roughly about an hour, we changed a bus and continued our journey.
Luckily the bus didn't meet an accident. Here I am, safe and sound, writing my blog.
Anyway, I reached home around Tuesday morning 7.30am, and went back home to continue sleeping.

The annoying friend (although I hate to admit it) had badgered me for months and I couldn't bear it anymore and fulfilled his wish today. His wish: to go to Megamall with him. If I didn't agree I might want to suppress the surge to hit him for years.
This time, I was accompanied with two other friends, who were there at the party last night. The annoying friend, I'm calling him A, to protect his privacy, wanted to eat KFC for lunch, although I didn't like it much.
We wanted to play bowling, but a competition was held there and we couldn't do anything but watching. Then we went to watch a movie. The blockbuster movie Avatar.
While in the theatre, I chose not to sit beside A. I did make a smart choice. My friend who sat beside him nearly went berserk. I wouldn't blame him. A is such a pain in the neck.
Avatar is not that interesting. I have to admit, the pulsating music was great, but I didn't like it much. The movie was kind of boring. The length of the movie is about 2 hours and 15 minutes, and I had trouble to keep myself awake after about an hour. Only the last 30 minutes caught my attention (as you might have expected, the fighting scenes). The others were just normal, and kind of boring (in my opinion). My rating: 7/10 (saved by fighting scenes).

Party
On December 25, 2009, my friend, Goh Yiet Hean, had 'indirectly' invited me to go to a celebration. Organised by his father (I think so), I accepted his invitation and went to his celebration.
At first I went to his house, only to find out his celebration was held in another place. So embarassing......
Then, I met them at a temple behind Golden Phoenix. Off all the people, I only recognised two. And I realised most of the people invited were there to greet Yiet Hean for scoring 8As. I couldn't blame them. His photo was beautifully printed in newspaper.
Anyway, I had a great time there. An uncle gave me a plate of fried rice. Thank you. Then I had a plate of tomyam noodle and a bowl of laksa. You must think that I'm a glutton. But each plates contain only a small amount of food. After that they played with...artificial snow?? A product of China. They sprayed the "snow" around, on cars, on shirts, on hairs, and which to my opinion, utterly childish.
Then, we played chinese chess. I hadn't played for months, and my skills began to move backwards. I lost all the matches.
But anyway, I had a cheerful night. Thanks for the invitation.

Conversation
My fourth day in Singapore is posted below "PMR result", please take note.
As I said, the conversation I heard between my mother and aunty Sharron.
1. While aunty Sharron was in China, she finds herself difficult to accustomed to the surrounding. China is a mountainous area and you have to be physically strong to stay there. And she experienced something that she couldn't believe it herself. She actually went to a doorless toilet. The toilet do not have doors and people just have to squat there and pee or poo. She said it was unbelievably true and they could chat on the phone like no one is watching. Oh my god....
2. Aunty Sharron actually praised me that I am fluent in bilingual. She said she hopes her children could be fluent in bilingual too, and especially their chinese. Aunty Sharron hopes that her children are able to master Chinese.
Aunty Sharron's benevolence is much appreciated by me. She bought us something cost more than $20. Thank you for the meal.
On the MRT, conversation between me and cousin Bryan.
1. Singapore O-Level, which is said to be equivalent to SPM, only have 7 subjects, while SPM have a minimum of 10. I was thunderstruck. 7 subjects?? And with their Chinese having a much lower standard compared to Malaysia?? It will be a cinch, and his O-level would have gone swimmingly. He was too puzzled. Especially when he knew that a Malaysian have to learn 3 languages, which he claimed himself that he can't even master two. No means to patronise you, but, shouldn't you have done better in Chinese? At least you have two languages to learn and we have three.
2. Singapore's history lessons study about the world wars, while Malaysia's history lessons study about Islam. One thing he doesn't know is I always dozed off while reading history textbook.
3. Experiments are part of O-level. Teachers from other school will be sent to a particular school to monitor their experiments and give ratings. However, in Malaysia, PEKA are utterly useless.
4. He wished that I will go more to Singapore, or study there. I wish I can, but I might not be able to be there again. I will if I can, I promise you.
There were more, but I'm not going to post more.
By the way, do you know Singapore's Malay standard is unbelievably low? In the MRT, there are signboards. Each signboards are multilingually written, including Malay. And do you know, one simple Malay sentence, not more than 15 words, contain 2 errors? If you have a chance to visit Singapore, go have a look yourself.

PMR result
Finally, after we have been waiting for months, the PMR result is finally out.
Not many students are eager to receive the result, particularly those who know they didn't do well in PMR. I am a prime example. Of course, some are nervous, some don't even care. Who cares how they feel?
I reached the school upon 10.00am, and waited for 30 minutes for the result. Finally the result is out. And I score 8As. In another way of saying, straight As!
I was elated and numbed with surprise. I know I did not do well in Malay, and weirdly, I score A.
Some of my friends broke down. They were sad they didn't get all A. Some of my friends don't care. Anyway, I feel sorry for those who did not get all As. It's just PMR. SPM and STPM or foundation are more important. Do work hard and get flying colours.
Meanwhile, the good news: SMJK Jit Sin performance has rose. This year, 238/553 score all As, which means 43.04%. My heartiest congratulation to our school students.
