it's Graduation Day today, and I didn't turn up for school. you know, I'd rather opt for not turning up at all than be caught late and then be labelled as the only secondary 4 express student who makes trouble up till now and then be snarled in your face with the very commonplace I-will-not-write-you-a-testimonial. BAH. what an amusing school.
I think that during my 4 years spent in BPGHS, I was only offered with a pathetically few memorable events in a timeline of ordinariness. I was a student who was apathetic, yes, but I was not too enthusiastic at the same time. occassionally (is this spelt correctly?), school was nothing to me but a daily grind of fruitless homework and boring lessons. contrary to what I believed was my forte back in the primary school days, math seemed far from what I was interested in in secondary school. I'd either managed to get a mere pass, if not fail, in my Emath exams. maybe it was not the lack of interest but more to the lack of practice.
the addition of Amath to my series of subjects had made things worse. I could never understand how learning logarithms would enhance the quality of my life. I remember it was the first topic which I found difficult in that super thick book. and that topic was not the first and the last. so it was kind of expected that I dropped Amath after the prelims. anyway, an additional math was ludicrous when I did not even succeed in passing elementary math.
up till now, I've been asking myself why I took up physics as one of my science subject because I'd always done better in biology during sec 1 and 2. maybe I was influenced by my chemistry teacher who said that physics would offer more flexibility than biology. hmm.. I didn't do too well in physics but hey, I should not be blamed for my pitiful grades. I could never understand too, how learning the workings of a transformer or what would make me a more scintillating person. hahaha.
on that note, this entry will hopefully be the last before O levels kick off. wish me all the best and all the luck in the world.
