The past week has been eventful, to say the least. It has also been exceedingly tiring.

Just got back Mid Year exam results today and they weren't fabulous, but neither were they disastrous. I guess I have to say that I actually am pretty happy about it given the circumstances during my exam period and how much rubbish I had to deal with at that point in time. Really gotta thank God for somehow carrying me through and helping me to remain focused during my papers. :) Whatever results I achieved is purely by God's grace and nothing to do with my own effort.

My Macbook charger broke down a couple of hours ago and I've been as anxious as ants on a hot grill (hahaha re guo shang de ma yi!!!), so I went straight to the Apple service place thingy at Wheelock immediately after dance and found out that I need to get a new charger, which cost a frickin $128. I only had $122 on me, so I frantically called a whole lot of random people, hoping that someone would be at orchard and would be able to lend me a miserable $6. In the end, Aunty Lyndee came down to pass me money and I got my Mac charger and I am now a happy little girl. :) Other than for the fact that my Mac looks ridiculously dirty when put next to my shiny charger.

Also watched Harry Potter with Tantan yesterday! :) It was slightly disappointing. And even though I hadn't read the book before watching it, I could still remember every little detail as if I had just read the book yesterday. And throughout the movie, I kept thinking "no that's not the way things are supposed to happen". I have to admit that the movie remained fairly loyal to the books, but there were still several things that ticked me off. But the company was good nevertheless. :)

Before the movie, I had a quick err, meal with Joshua at Plaza while waiting for Tantan. I hadn't seen him in ages so it was good to catch up again. But he kept teasing me about my results and everything so I felt like punching his face all the time but nevermind, I am a fabulous OGL and can keep my cool hehehe. :)

IOC is drawing close and I am a little nervous cause I feel terribly unprepared and it seems like I have barely enough time to finish everything. We have 19 extract and I think I can only say that I'm fairly confident of 1 Lear extract and 1 Owen poem. I am pretty screwed, I think.

Yesterday during Physics class, Zinan and I had a very irritating conversation.

Zinan: You're very different from last year.
Me: How so?
Zinan: You're a lot more mature.
Me: :D :D :D :D
Zinan: You seem to have grown from 6 to 7 years old.
Me: ._.
Zinan: It's a compliment okay! In your 17 physical years, you only grew 6 years. But now you suddenly grew 1 maturity year in 1 physical year!

Omg I swear I wanted to punch him so harddddd hahaha. But when I thought about school, I realised that in four months, he will be going back to China and who knows when we'll meet again. :\ But then I started thinking about it more and I realised that I don't know how many people I'll keep in touch with after IB. Sure we're all good friends now and we can have a ball of a time together, but how many of these people that we see every day now are going to remain in our lives, even after all the torture of IB we've been through together? And that bothered me quite a bit.

I remember Manda and I had this conversation last year on the last day of Camp for Friends when we talked about how people in our lives come and go and some person that can mean so much to us today will be a mere part of our past a few years down the road. Isn't that quite sad?

Zinan and I can be good friends now, but what's gonna happen when he goes back to China and I go to dunno where for uni? And then when I think about ACS next time, I'll be like "oh yeah... I had a friend called Zinan. I wonder how he's doing..." (Zinan, if you're reading this, no offence k. You're just an example!) Omg the thought of me ever doing that to any of my current friends right now is just so gefwiohgoihrwrohigrpjo :(

I feel a little bummed now that I'm thinking about it again. :( I think I should go and make myself more miserable by reading a tragedy. To be more specific, a tragedy called King Lear.
