A long day. Once again, I've been kicked out of the main chinese class into a specialised class. They found a replacement for my teacher, who is currently on long term medical leave. He's this really funny doctor in chinese who looks like some ah pek but is really rather humourous. I mean, a simple discussion on a word can spin off into some trip down the lives of top Asian celebrities, including Rain, the rising Korean star, who is in his opinion, indecent. Then he talked somewhat about the promiscuity of students from a certain junior college in the novena-ang mo kio area. Really funny guy. I think chinese lessons will be more interesting from now onwards.

I also got back the full scores for the year's worth of work, CA + CT + Promos. Well, I must say I did fairly well in comparison to the rest; to God be the glory, great things He hath done... I got to retain my B in Literature! I was quite sure it would have dropped to a C once everything else was taken into account. I was also surprised to find my A1 in GP kept. I thought CA and CT would push it down a grade. The rest of my subjects were fairly average. A C for Econs and a D for History. All in all, a good run for 2005, certainly a year full of surprises. I simply must thank God for seeing me through the second half of the year. It has been... tumultous, to say the least.

Then. we spent the whole afternoon doing PW. Argh. I think I got hyper during the afternoon, I don't know why. I just felt quite hyped up to do oral presentation... I wish I could point out the different JCs on the google earth maps for the presentation. At least, it was satisfying to see everything more or less coming together. I never could have foreseen this at the start of the year.

More boring days ahead... I was just wondering, does meritocracy mean fairness? My answer: Yes and No. I'll talk about this some other time.
