NYGH.
After a really loooooooooooooong hiatus from blogging, I'm back! :D Exams are FINALLY over!!!! :D I've been mugging since 18 August, and today, 19 October, on this very day, my exams have finally ended!! What a tough period... but I'm glad that all of us got through it ;) Especially thankful to all the HMP people (since we all suffered for one extra day HAHA).
Since I haven't posted in nearly a month, I don't really know what to post about anymore haha. Actually I don't even know whether I still remember how to blog. Hmm. Let's talk about the mugging and the exams (boring zzzz but yeah my memories not yours :P).
The exams were overall okay...... I think. But as always I could have performed better. HMP performance was extremely annoying because I had sweaty palms for ALL my performances - that's three performances. Sweaty palms suck because when you play the piano your hands will keep slipping off the keys and you're more likely to break down halfway through a piece. Plus the fact that you can't stop halfway and wipe your hands on your skirt before continuing simply because it's a PERFORMANCE. So basically throughout all my performances my hands were slipping away and accumulating sweat throughout (and I really wonder how the person after me for all those performances coped with the wet keys). And yes I broke down. -.- For Meri's duet performance too. That was really bad because it took us a while to play together again :/
Well in short, the papers I screwed up: Chinese Paper 1, LA, Chem. I'm still really hoping my results for these subjects will be fine :/ Hopefully will be able to get at least an A2 for LA and A1 for Chem... I don't know if it's just me, but I really hate it when I don't get A1 for Math and Sciences. Oh and HMP. I don't know maybe these are the subjects I'm more proficient at? And I just have higher expectations of myself? I don't know. Now I'm actually looking forward to next Tuesday because whenever I think about the results I actually start becoming very nervous for some reason. Just hope that whatever results I get I'll be able to accept it ugh.
Alright enough about exams! Something just dawned upon me. I've taken my last exam in NYGH (excluding O's but that's not a school exam). Four years in Nanyang have already flown by? Wow. It's been an amazing journey in Nanyang, and when I look back now, I feel kinda proud of myself hahaha. Because I've seriously learnt so much in these four years, and Nanyang has really shaped my character so much (like so many alumni have said). Through education in Nanyang, although it was stressful, I got to learn so many lifeskills (no not really from lifeskills camps) and other useful stuff which can be used throughout my life. Haha, no regrets from coming to Nanyang! Although I admit that yes the stress piles up like a mountain. But isn't that also a lifeskill? Coping with multitudes of stress?
Still remember how last time in P6 I failed to get in through DSA (probably because I couldn't converse Mdm Chew properly in Chinese... plus the fact that I accidentally slammed the classroom door on the way out -.-) and I felt so stupid and so ashamed and stuff... and then somehow I got into MGS through DSA in music. ._. But then during the release of PSLE results my name was displayed on the powerpoint slides as one of the top in the level and then everything turned around... The frantic talks with all the principals in all the various schools - NYPS, NYGH, MGS, RGS, and trying to figure out which school I should go to after we got the approval for cancelling the DSA to MGS. Cut between Nanyang and Raffles, my mum kept encouraging me to go to Raffles but I kept insisting on Nanyang (for personal reasons; if you wanna know come ask me personally). And then when we sent in both appeal forms for RGS and NY (couldn't go through the normal selection because of the original DSA to MGS) NY accepted almost immediately. I remember how we went from NYGH to RGS to submit the appeal form, and then NY called my parents when we were in RGS to inform them that I have been accepted into the school lol. Yeap and there it was, my place in NY confirmed. Chionged back to NYGH to get the stuff and then took the HMP entry exam right there and then without studying anything at all (everyone else was looking through theory books and I was empty-handed), and then I was accepted for the second round of auditions! And then passed the auditions and got into HMP! Hahahaha what miracles have happened!
My life has changed so much in NY, and I only have God to thank for putting me there in the first place. And of course my parents for letting me go to Nanyang instead of RGS. :) But now graduation is coming... Wow I don't know... My feelings are torn between "FINALLY!" and "SO FAST?!" It's quite unbelievable. 4 years just zoomed past. JC will be half of that. I can't imagine. But that aside my love for Nanyang will stay strong forever~ :) Before I have to put this in past tense, let me say it again: I'm proud to be a Nanyang girl. :)
