[[ ___ + LOVE MAKES THE WORLD TURN ROUND& ROUND + __

I have always believed in the saying "一分耕耘，一分收获"; That is, the results we achieve depend on the amount of hard work we put in. At least that's the case for me. I'm not smart. In quizzes and tests, there are people who can still pass, sometimes with flying colours, even if they did not revise and study for it. However, or rather, unfortunately, as you may say, I'm not one of them; Failed quizzes and exams which were done badly had proven to me that, if I do not put in enough hard work, it is nearly impossible for me to do well. There are times when people ask me questions, and being the not-very-brainy me, I can't seem to be able to provide with them answers that are 'logical and rational'; But they are to me. Even if I answered them seriously, people tend to see them as jokes and start laughing like maaad. If I'm lucky enough, people may see my answers as being creative. I understand that this is not necessarily a bad thing; I'm trying to accept this characteristic of mine as a blessing, a gift from God. Special ma, special~ Can bring joy to people somemore :)

There were times when I lamented the fact that I'm not as intelligent as those many people around me, that I have to work harder to achieve something that another person can achieve easily. But I've come to accept this as a good thing. Compared to attaining something without putting in effort, achieving it after working hard gives me a sense of satisfaction. It makes me feel that my hard work has paid off and is worth it! Similarly, when I do badly for something, I will have to tell myself that I had not worked hard enough. But because we reap what we sow, I would have to learn from this mistake and work harder next time so that I can do better. Even if I am not smart, I can still rely on hard work! So there is still hope :D

Because there is still hope, I do not believe in being depressed over failures over a long period of time. It will become my motivation, to strive hard, FOR A BETTER AND BRIGHTER FUTURE!!!!! If I still do not do well even if I put in hard work, it just means that the amount of effort put in was not enough. Need to add in more oil :) 就算做得不好，也千万不要气馁，更不要放弃。因为只要一放弃，在开跑的时候就已经输掉比赛了，连成功的机会，希望也没有。Even if I do not do well in the end, having put in effort will leave me with no regrets as I know that I had done my best, and that I did not let the people who care for me and erm... have certain expectations from me down. 无怨无悔!

Therefore, Jermia-san and friends, jiayou for the coming EOYs, O-levels and the many many challenges ahead in life! Do not be too upset over depressing results, and do not give up trying to succeed. While working veryvery hard, please take care of yourself, like what Mr Tay said (rather anti-climaxly) during IH today right after we sang him a birthday song, please do not give yourselves so much stress that you burn out! 要有蟑螂般打不死的精神，但是有杀虫剂的话，千万不要盲目地冲！先照顾好自己的安危才是最重要的。;D

Okay I realised that's a super bad analogy, but who cares AHAHAHAHA!!! xDD

Was nearly late for school (again -.-)
cos of a traffic jam which lasted for about 15 minutes?
I wasn't late in the end
because I prayed :):)
Miraculously like 5 minutes after I prayed
the traffic turned from a jam to a super smooth one! xD
Was super amazed at the powers of God
Hallelujah! :D

Smiled uncontrollably once I stepped into Nanyang
I missed school so muchhh D;
Weihui Minghui Sinlie Puilin and I were stalking
this Caucasian family living opposite our block
We were like stalkers!
We even managed to find out how many kids
there are in the family and that they have a dog
2 scooters a maid and a twin which quarrelled xP
We just kept standing near the window looking at them
until the kids went up a school bus -.-ll

Ms Chee said someone drew a prawn
which looked like Elvis Presley
AHAHAHAHAHA (Y)!!
And yayyy she didn't penalise me too much
to the disbelief of many people
for my weird mutated-looking prawn
which looks more like a chameleon xD

Mrs Lai voted Mr Khoo for most inspiring too! :DD
She shared with us Mr Khoo's touching story about
his passion for teaching and the sacrifices he made
for his students by becoming a full-time teacher
when he could have done something more... Money-fied?

Wang Laoshi shared with us stories of
Michelle Kwan an ice-skater during CME today
Teaches us that it's okay to make mistakes sometimes
but we have to pick ourselves up
and that passion is important :D

The most epic thing was
when I was walking towards the audi for CCT
We saw Ms Lydia Teo who saw us too
Then she flashed us a super duper
bright and wide smile!! :DDD
She's uber nice and friendly
but I do not know why her smile seemed so
hilariously amusing to me at that moment
that I just burst out laughing in front of her xD
Diaooo laughed til my saliva came out somemore :P

I was laughing so hard that I didn't notice erm...
Baobao and Kaixuan told me later on that
she was pointing at me saying "I KNOW YOU!!" or something
I hope she isn't feeling ummm...
disturbed that Gennie and I
pestered and irritated her like irritating pests for our dunking event x__x

Got back Jap Paper today!
Our class scored highest in the whole level according to sensei! yayyy!
It was とても悪い but it was a lot better than I had dreamt -.-ll
Erm clarifications the dreamt here doesn't mean
"expected" but it's just literally "dreamt"

I dreamt that I got 37/100 for Prelims
cos I didn't do a few pages worth of questions
Elaine Ang sensei was the marker and I scored 0 for Listening
Then she's so angry that she decided to give me
a negative score for Listening Dx

After that she told me
"Jermia-san, you need to come to my house
later in the evening for your Listening retest"
I asked her where her house is
Then she replied "I live in Jurong"
which totally shocked me so much in my dream
I think I woke up after screaming "WHATTTTT!!!!" =.=

The next Jap lesson will be the last we'll have D;
We will miss Yeong Sensei a lot :(:(
Although I am a 悪い学生
Yeong Sensei is a super duper いい先生

JIAYOUUUUUU!!!!!! ^^
