My Second Day At School

As I brought the "Buku Kawalan" upstairs to my class - my first job as a temporary class monitor (How I got to be the class monitor is best unexplained, though the main culprit is Yimin, -.-), prefects were asking classes by classes to gather at the basketball court - we were guessing that we were going to get a briefing by the teachers about our Form 4 subject packages.

Turns out it isn't.

"To save up time, the teachers had arranged all of you into respective classes according to your PMR results and remarks from your subject teachers."

Ain't that something that sucks?

And we were all thinking that we could have a few days to get briefed on the new packages, the streams, and ponder about what stream we would take.

Well, not so.

"For your information, the classes aren't divided into 'good classes' or 'bad classes' anymore. There'll be 8As in every class, 7As in every class etc. We've taken care of that for you."

"Those students whose names are called, please enter your new classes.."

.. 4.0 ..

.. And I could only stare as most of my friends got called to enter class 4.0.

.. 4.1 ..

.. I didn't regret not able to enter this class, XD.

.. 4.2 ..

.. .. .. Ho Rui You .. ..

***

And 4.2's the new class that I'm in right now.
Glanced around the class - perfect, another class where I have none of my past-year classmates.

Speaking of that, I recalled my past-year experiences of my classes too.

Form 1 to Form 2 : 1.7 to 2.2 - There were none of my 1.7 classmates in class 2.2.
Form 2 to Form 3 : 2.2 to 3.9 - There was only TWO of my classmates from 2.2.
Form 3 to Form 4 : 3.9 to 4.2 - I guess there's no more.

My fate?

Probably.

SOME people might think that I'm unlucky, always unlucky enough to enter a class full of strangers. Personally though, I think that I'm quite fortunate - as fate gave me a chance to widen my circle of friends by being able to bring new friends into the circle. Anyway, life's all about extending and expanding, isn't it?

Well, about my class.

It's really quite unique in a way that we have students from different "expertises" in class 4.2.

We have students who're good in their academical achievements..
We have students who fly high in their co-curricular activities (posts)..
And we have students who're good in sports (though not the best).

I couldn't just say anything about my new class yet - I couldn't judge my class just by watching them for one day. See how it turns out after a few months then.

4.2 is one of the Science-streamed class, so - the basic subjects that I'm taking are..

The three major languages - Malay, Chinese, English.
The three branches of science - Physics, Chemistry, Biology.
The two mathes - Modern Maths, Additional Maths.
The two useless subjects - Moral Education, History.

That makes a total of 10 subjects, excluding Physical Education and Civic Education.

Extra subjects?

Accounting, & English in Science and Technology.
(Decided not to take EST after advices by my aunt and sister)

So I'd be taking 11 subjects overall - might not seem much to you, but who cares? I aim for my career, not for glamour anyways.

"There won't be any teachers teaching Accounting for science stream this year. If you want to learn Accounting, you'd have to either take tuitions or study by yourself."

My initial plan was to study myself - but after consideration.. Oh well..

I decided to take tuition for Accounting - at least for a few weeks / months, to see whether I could cope with the subject. If yes, I'll drop my tuition then.

And so goes my tuition schedule.

Sunday : 4-6pm BM DoReMe
Monday : [Free]
Tuesday : 4-6pm ACC Pn.Chew
Wednesday : 8-10pm PHYSICS Einstein
Thursday : 4-6pm MT En.Loke
Friday : 8-10pm CHEMISTRY Pn.Kum
Saturday : [Free]

Crap, gotta go. It's 12.15am and mom just asked me to get to sleep right now.

Catch ya all later.
