Hi people. Exams for most are over right? So lets post more!

My exams went well. 

I heard that my school, CJC, is rather strict on letting students be promoted to JC2. Number of retainees (+ those who get "kicked out") are supposedly quite high, maybe like 10%? (I'm not sure)

Yeah so if you're in Sec school and are thinking of going to JC, its probably going to be quite a struggle for you if your O' Levels L1R5 score is over 15.

I was a bit a afraid I would get retained because of my GP, or "argumentative English". I had to pass it to go on to J2. I failed my Mid-years one. There were essays that I spent 3-4hours doing (in the exam its 1h30mins) and only get borderline, subpass (20~22 / 50).

After church on sunday (day before GP) Ryan was helping me with GP stuff and after a short while his mother came in and asked if I wanted to go to their house to eat dinner, in which case Ryan can help me more. That was quite, unexpected, for me. 

I agreed. Besides studying, I had a rather nice talk with Ryan. One compre we went through was about loneliness. Quoted from the start of passage 2 -  "Loneliness is a universal experience. It is painful in the extreme. It lies at the core of most mental health conditions. It is one of the emotions primarily associated with depression and accompanies most cases of suicidal intent..."

This can strike a cord sometimes, maybe more when we grow older.

After I left Ryan's house till after GP exam I felt peace. It was somewhat like a God-filled time. "God is my strength"... And I did ok for the exam I think, enough to pass, just pass... I felt that Ryan's help was essential for me to pass. Maybe going to his house was something God planned. (sounds a bit, like its a big big issue when its not very big) I dun think this is just an inclination for me to think this way (so that I can glorify God). It felt real.

Why I write so much on this...

My other exams were quite easy. The hardest was CLB- lol.

After exams this thursday I indulged on Dota. Bad decision. Wasn't nice. Only felt nice for like 1 hour- after that i felt like I was wasting my time. When I felt bored I went to play. Felt a bit like I was satisfying an addiction. What's so nice about dota? I dun get it. It can suck your life out of you if you play long. Better to read the Bible more...

I started to read the book "THE PURSUIT OF HOLINESS". Heard it was a good book. Maybe I'll post on it next time.

I saw Adrain's personal msg (msn), dont know if its appropriate but I'll just write. It was something like "life is meaningless, wishing to end it soon"

I'm getting confirmed tomorrow, with Joycelyn.

Oh, happy birthday David.
