FINALLY IT'S THE HOLIDAYS!!!

After a long month of Examinations, I can finally take a break. Well... you all must be wondering how well I did in my exams?

Well... Here is my Report Card:
  • English - B4 (All the while, it's bad)
  • Chinese (Mother Tongue) - A2 (I'm used to be bad at Mother Tongue. Thanks to my Beijing Teacher, I improve greatly. Thank you very much, Mr Huang!!! )
  • Mathematics - A1
  • Science - A1
  • Geography - B4 (I used to do well for Geography. It's just not myself that day)
  • History - A1
  • Literature - C6 (I'm always bad at understanding Romeo and Juliet texts)
  • Home Economics - A1 (I'm always bad at cooking... Must be the projects that helped me out)
  • Design and Technology (D&T) - A1
  • Art - A1 (Thank god! It's Ace!!! )
  • Music - A (That was kinda unlikely, however, it's stated in my report card)
  • Physical Education - Bronze (Ops! >.<)
After looking at my results, what do you think? It's quite okay right? And the best part of it, I'm the top 5% scholars in my school cohort. My level position is 10 and my class position is 9. It's quite enough for me right? I used to be the last few in my class. I made a great improvement in my academic result. Even my mum thinks that I deserve to have a pat on my back. Well... I really hope that I can maintain my results.

Ok... Let's not talk about Academic stuffs! It's now the holidays! We need to give ourselves a break right??? Hence other than the Academic stuffs, there were also a lot of things happening to me during the period of time.
  1. My paternal grandfather died of heart attack. It was so sudden. Although I hardly spend time with my grandfather (the Fact that he smoke A LOT), I still feel a sense of guilt and sadness in my bottom of my heart. I felt guilty because he just loved to smoke and his house reeks of decaying matter (which used as fertilisers for his plants) and smelly curtains that had not washed for more than 10 years. He just loved to keep things, even if it was spoiled, he will just keep those in one side and did not allow anyone to touch it. We just can't break the nasty habit of him. I felt very sad because he is my grandpa. No matter how hard I tried to change the fact, he is just my grandpa. My parents hardly visit him because he had a nasty temper, ever since he had dementia. Well... We can't blame him for his temper, but the main problem was that he can't control his temper, and once agitated, he will take anything (from pencils to belts to chairs ; almost anything) to hit anyone to vent his anger. After that, he won't take his medication to prevent it from happening as he thinks that anyone who is related to him is a bad person or evil person who tried to harm him. And this is because of his dementia again. He just refuses to take his medication. After that, his condition became worse. He had connections from China and he gets cheated by the scammers for his money. When he found that he had lesser money, he pushed the blame all to his children. My parents had a hard time convincing him and always had to help him from his problems. My parents regularly likes to complain about him to me and so I began to dislike him even further. But my hatred stopped immediately after his death. I felt guilty about it and felt sorry for him. He is just a lonely man who had no encouragements from his closest kin. I should give him a helping hand at first, instead of judging him. I'm so sorry, Grandpa! I really hope that you will forgive me and I pray hard that you will rest in peace.
  2. My Chinese Singing Competition. Ok... I know it gonna sounds crazy but it's the fact!!! I actually went to try out my school-organised singing competition. There was hundreds of contestants went for audition but only 8 contestants are allowed for the final round. Well... I thought I won't make it because there are so many talents in my school so it's really impossible. I always thought that I had a baby-ish voice. After the audition, my judges told me that I really sound like Hebe Tian Fu Zhen of S.H.E. They told me that I had a sweet Soprano voice. I was enlightened. I mean like, seriously, are you kidding me? After that, I had wild thoughts of being a Superstar. But after a while, are they comforting me? It could be just a general sentence for all contestants. Sigh.... I really need someone who tell me truthfully. I just do not want people to comfort me and was afraid to hurt me. I promised I will not feel bad about since It's the fact. Ok... back to my story, after a week, it was my final round. I sang Yu Ai from Rainie Yang. And the worst part of it, I had a damn stage fright and forgot my lyrics. I repeat the same sentence over again and somehow the judges found out. LOL!!!! And yeah... I was freaking frightened. Hundreds pairs of eyes are staring me. That feeling... was indescribable. And yeah... True enough, I did not get anything for consolation prize. I had $10 popular voucher!!! HEHEHE!!! I can buy my fav books. Yay!!! This competition is not that bad after all. It's just a learning experience for me. :)
  3. A learning trip to NanJing. Well... I enjoyed myself a lot!!! And you can see more from this School NanJing Trip website. Haha!!! You saw that? We went to many places in Nanjing and the best part is the campfire. But there did not took any pictures of it. That camera man is just being stupid. (Btw the camera man is a student from my school) Maybe I'll post some photos here just to have a quick peak. 
Alright! Enough of glibberish! I shall end here. Pls look forward for my upcoming posts!!! :)
