Assalamualaikum
That's what I feel right now, ecstatic. It actually took me awhile to remember how to spell 'ecstatic'. And I hope I got it right.
Why do I feel so? Well, after much thinking, I've been able to utilize my skill and passion of film making and special effects to do my AEP coursework. It'll be alot of work, but at least I enjoy that kind of work. Thank goodness.
It makes me so happy just thinking about it, I bet it's illegal to be this happy..
Salam.. Peace..

Goodness Me
Assalamualaikum,
Yes, goodness me. I just don't know how to react to what happened today. Good news first. I received results of my Chemistry CA1 which I did YESTERDAY. Yes, my teacher marked our work in ONE night. That's some skills. I found out I was number 2 in class with a score of 27/35.. A1. But could have been better.
Bad news: I failed English summary. But in summary you can still dig up some marks that the teacher missed and I'm hoping to do that next week.
AEP. I ditched my idea. It wasn't feasible and now I'm back to square one. I'm seriously confused and just, sad. I'm idealess. I need ideas. Help me. Submission due in September. Not a lot of time left.
That is all world.
Salam.. Peace..

Spirits lifted
Alhamdulillah..
I am quite energized. Thank you Lord of the worlds! Praise be to thee for all that you give. Its amazing how things changed overnight. I received the results for my discursive essay. Let's just say..
"You won't believe who got top. It's some one you will NEVER expect.." -Teacher
Well, you will never expect it, if you never knew me. Again. Alhamdulillahi robbi alamin. To be honest, I'd be quite annoyed if I didn't get it. Which I regret is my weakness.
Thank God, now I am in the 'zone' all ready to prepare for my Physics and E maths test tomorrow.
God bless you all. My prayers are with you, especially people of the middle east, involved in the revolutions, may peace befall you soon.

Not getting any support.
I'm in a turmoil. Just like the middle east (which, by the way, is getting worse and worse). I am seriously genuinely trying my hardest. Harder than I ever did. I know how important this year is to me. Just because I didn't receive spectacular results it doesn't mean you should put me down. I see what you're doing to me. It's impossible to talk to you. Get lost. I'm so depressed without your help. I don't need you to worsen my situation. I'm utterly disappointed in you.
No Salam or peace. :..(

Procrastination
Hey there people,
I'm currently on my iPhone blogging, because my parents took away my laptop due to paranoia. Yes, I am trying my best to blog once a week, as promised. It seems that I have only been able to blog on Sundays, but who cares.
Tomorrow is my CA1. My first somewhat major school test as a Secondary 4 student. Admittedly, I have taken some tests lightly (Malay) and not received THE results. I have been working hard on my other subjects. I can already feel the stress of being a sec 4. It feels impossible to meet everyone's expectations. The weight is just so heavy, but not too heavy, for Allah does not place a burden on man too heavy for him to bear. I am certain that I can achieve, this is now my mission in life. I am not doing this for anybody, but myself. I am a disappointment to myself, but not to others for they do not have the right to judge me.
So as I was saying, tomorrow is CA1. English paper, then Social studies on tuesday and a bunch of other stuff. AEP is starting to be more intense. I can feel that I may not be able to cope, but I can, and I will.
On a side note, there seems to be a bunch of middle-eastern countries revolting. The people are upset at their government, and I can only wonder why. To quote what I learnt in SS, there seems to be a spillover effect occurring there. First Tunisia, then Egypt. Iran, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Lebanon.. And a bunch I probably missed out on.. What is the world going to. I bet other governments are scrabbling to brainwash their people into thinking they're doing a good job.
Ok, I'll be going now. To do my karangan which I've put off for too long.
Peace.. Salam..

Revolution
Assalamualaikum,
I had some ideas on what I wanted to blog about but I forgot them. :(
I should have taken them down.
Anyway, the revolution in Egypt has finally achieved something. In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, the citizens of Egypt took to the streets to protest against their pro-american government that have been treating them terribly over the past 30 years. Their president, Hosni Mubarak, finally stepped down after a 30 year control of the nation. Thousands of people protested at Tahrir Square in Cairo for 18 days before Mubarak finally stepped down. Egypt is now, literally, in shambles as the people tried to rebuild their nation. During the 18 day protest/riot people looted here and there, destroying infrastructure as well as various invaluable ancient artifacts in their museums. I sincerely hope that they will be able to get on their feet as soon as possible.
That had nothing to do with me. Or does it? Maybe one day Singaporeans will overthrow their government? Will the spillover effect cause more mayhem in Egypt's neighbouring countries, thus creating chaos and possibly an all out world war? Possibly.
I'm kidding, I hope none of that happens, maybe the first, but not the rest. That is all for this week. See ya!
Salam...peace..

Japan
Assalamualaikum,
I realised I haven't posted a blog entry about my trip to Japan during the holidays, and since I'm too lazy to do so, I shall just post the write up I submitted to my teacher.
Here goes nothing..
"Victoria School Art and Design trip to Tokyo, Japan, was an eye-opening experience in my learning journey as an artist. I learnt many important lessons in this trip to Japan. I also learnt many different aspects of the Japanese culture. On the first day, we had our first dosage of pure Japanese goodness by going to the Tsukiji Fish Market. This market is the central hub of all fish selling and buying, only the freshest are fetch a high price. Sushi shops around the area sell sushi that contain the freshest fish from the market. The Japanese really take pride in everything they do ensuring high quality in their products.

The real, memorable, highlights of the trip was the art museum visits. We went to many museums like the Hakone Open Air Museum and also the Design 21-21. I was exposed to all the artworks both local and international origin. Japanese art is very intriguinging and thought-provoking. For example, a Japanese artist named, Issey Miyake, used traditional artforms, such as origami, and also modern scientific approach to create his artworks. They are mainly clothes that can be folded to neat design patterns. The visit to a local high school was also beneficial. It encouraged global-mindedness along with the ability of communicating “heart-to-heart”. The soul has no language barrier. My group was able to break the ice with some entertainment we all know and love—magic tricks. Our buddies warmed up to us easily after a couple quick tricks, and we had fun. It was a day to remember as we met students our age in a land miles from home.
Other miscellaneous trips to Mount Fuji, Nakamise Street and Harajuku also exposed us to the many different Japanese lifestyles and cultures. The cold was also an experience I will never forget, as cold weather in Singapore is pretty rare. The only issue that bugged me was that there were some museums that were too big for us to embrace in it’s wholeness in time, and we were unable to experience all the different art works in said museum. Maybe in the future, we can time each visit according to the size and volume of each museum. However all in all, the trip was very beneficial in terms of my art education, yet satisfying because the mysteries of exploring new places intrigues our minds as teenagers from Victoria School."
Thank you very much.
Salam, Peace!
