Oral went well today ... I'm actually pleased that I didn't screw my oral examination up. The topic was generally about our viewpoint of corporal punishment in schools for students who have committed major crimes. I actually have more to elaborate on that statement but the old man asked me another question ... What other ways do you think can be implemented to reprimand the teenage offenders with the same effective results ...

I think I did quite well except for the last part where I stuttered for like a few seconds because I was thinking of the Chinese translation for warning letter ...I know the phrase but my mind suddenly blanked out. Well .. anyway, that was near the end of the conversation, after which the old man asked me to leave ... Hmmph ... Looks like the examiners are very impatient..

Then there was this lady sitting next to the old man .. probably in her twenties, who kept smiling and smiling and putting her hand over her mouth in what seemed to be an offending gesture. I don't really know the reason for her prescence in the examination hall since she did nothing but smile, but I guess it's because she was assigned to encourage the candidates by giving them confidence in speech. However, she failed badly to do so because her smiling made me even more anxious ...

It's so sad that not many people from the B Division made it to the finals... particularly the Secondary threes, according to Sean. Since the Oral examinations are over, I've have to Bedok Reservoir tomorrow as usual. We have to meet in school at 6.30am ... because the bus leaves at 7pm. That is so unfair .. I want my beauty sleep ..

I really need to brush up on maths ... Trigonometry is consuming me. I have to get the formulae of secant, cosecant, and cotangent into my brain before juice starts to leak out. And I hate it when my teachers say that we are only covering the surface of a certain topic in a certain subject .. that just demoralises us further since we become more aware that we have much much more to learn and memorise.

Life is a series of chain reactions. Each event affects the next one in line. You may remember the end result, but it's all those little choices that you make each day that either get your closer to your goal or tie you down. Off to dinner ... Have a nice evening.
