haha i'm posting here becos i don't want to overwhelm your tagboard...
to practise my gp...i'll proceed to rebut your points convincingly...put forth my own arguments, compare and contrast my views and yours and then put forth a concluding statement.
heh i hope i get a1 for this.
My dear neko-chan...you are not one of the 22 percent of the singapore population that has never been attached before in your life... simply becos your only 18! The people they interviewed were liek 40 to 50 something!. Come back to me like 30 years down the road and maybe i'll agree with you...but not now...
since i have already rebutted your points (which were all based on that one flismy argument)...lets move on to my iew of the situation....no lah just kidding
short stature: kawaii wat (new nickname for u...chibi-ko chan!)
boyish nature: hmm..that's a valid point...not! i don't noe where u got that idea from...i tink that your so used to thinking that your boyish for so long that u started believing it for..u want
boyish...heres boyish
looks: no comment (but u asked ppl not to comment wat)...just keep in mind that looks are dependant on the person's opinion of you...didn't u read the recent straits time article?
i won't comment about the rest...becos honestly i dun noe u that well to comment...u may hav obsessive complusive disorder or schizophrenia for all i noe...but if i don't see it i doubt others will...
"never had a guy like me before"- no...u just never had a guy who liked u tell u that he liked u before.
okay lets move on to why i think your single...assuming that u don't like singlehood(note to self...will have tendency to digress into why singlehood is not not bad...must remain focus on qns)
u are too focused on the fact that u're single...ignore that fact for a while and you will notice that u have more guy frens than some girls would have in a lifetime...yet your so focused on the romatic side of your relationships with boys that u fail to realise that any one of your platonic relationships can develop into something more...maybe one of you grows more attractive to the other person, maybe one of you decides to try taking the relationship to the next step...do note that these things take time...if your looking for the love at first side option forget it...its all one commercialised boatload of crap...theres no one right guy for you...there are lots of guys that will suit you well...you need time not to find them, but to let them come to you...
the reason why i'm spending 1 hour of my time on the eve of an exam to write this is becos i was in the same boat as you...and i don't mind blogging about it just not now...and its stupid u noe...getting depressed over something that is imaginary...letting it affect your self conidence, your morale...make it qns your existence(i dunno whether u got do that or not haha i idid thats how bad it got)...and i dun want u to remain in it for any longer than its necessary...i dun want to see u get sad and depressed whenever anyone u like doesn't like u becos u just shrug it off and wait for the next person to come...
And now for my concluding statement-if i get below a1 for my gp...i noe who to blame(just kidding lah...i haven't been studying gp the whole day)
heres my blog entry before xq came and derailed my plans...
Someone asked me why i wasn't studying for gp..."wah u so confident rite"
No i'am not. Its just that i think studying for gp is crap.
I think its better for gp to identify what your strengths and weaknesses are(quite frankly you hav to do that for every subject, but for gp its more essential) I'm a person who likes to noe wat his weaknesses and strengths are...and while my english is my better subject...i have as much chance of getting a1 as i do for my other subjects (0)...and comeon we are all aiming for a1 rite?
Why is that so?
My essay scores high marks in gp sometimes...but looking carefully at it its far too inconsistent to gurantee me a high score...and one thing the teachers have missed is that i tend not to give concrete examples.While i do read widely and stay on top of things...it also means that i can only gather a large amount of generalised knowledge as opposed to what a person spotting communications and media might be able to do...it also means that in an exam...i have a wide choice of qns to do becos it appears i may be able to do all of them...yet in reality i may be well versed in one subject but not the one i chose. In all the school tests...the comments have noted that i lack detail (sometimes even getting facts outright wrong), lack balance and sometimes lack content, all becos i do not have concrete examples to back me up...hence i always go for qns that require more thinking and less rote regurgitation...which makes mugging content for gp even more harder.
but its the comprehension component that pulls me down even more...while the bulk of marks is awarded to replacing words with your own...i have trouble identifying even the ideas that need to be replaced and i have a tendency to simply rewrite statements with wanton regard for key words and instead forgoing that for a preference for smooth flowing sentences and grammar. this may seem easy to remedy but to strike a balance between content and language in comprehension is not easy for me...i used to have trouble in application and summary but that has been partially overcome, at least to a level of which i am satisfied of.
so why shld i mug? i would rather put my time elsewhere...liek understanding maths concepts or something...rather than mugging vocab or kaleidoscope...since my weakness lies not in my concept or ideas but in my execution..unlike my other subjects...and i hate mugging examples
my prediction for gp? B3 and quite frankly i'll be happy with that...despite what i said about aiming for a1...becos theres a dif between what your aiming for and wat your expect....and i'm always happy with what i expect...does that make sense?

xueqi here. firstly, thanx for showing 9 paragraphs of concern for me, i'm sure with such good analytical skills, you would be able to score fairly well for ur GP, lest some serious mishap occur.
2ndly, you do not need to compromise ur content makes for language watz. oh, unless you are scoring SUPER high for ur language component... but either way, i think you get language marks for your choice of vocab and substitution of keywords more den for the flow of the passage. basically, a coherent and smooth flow for the summary component is not required.
wth, why am i even giving pointers? my GP sux..
and, are u updating ur study progress? coz it looks very... un-updated...
haha..my study progress is only backlogged by one subject...poisson...i think i need to quicken my pace and not spend so much time on the com
i wana admit that i totally skipped the whole lot abt you not studying GP. my GP sucks, i studied for it. so, no, i dun wana know if you didn't study and got good marks for it. sheesh, i'm so f***'in delluded.
to xueqi, i'm single too! 5^? there are many times when loniliness juz kills you. but always rememebr, you haf shawn! *tata!~.... erm.. let's try that again.. you haf.. *ahem* your friends! *tata!~ (ok, tt was juz soo lame. my grief from the gp test has turned me bonkers...)
serious now.. i've no idea who you are, but here's my lil' input: there are times when you feel lonely, or even times when you get dissappointed or demoralized. but believe me, when the time comes, all this will be all worth it, whether or not he's the one who will walk down the rest of the road with you.. it'll be all worthwhile. =) so meanwhile, juz leave it and be confident of yourself. don't start picking on yourself. ain't there enuff ppl out there picking on you alreadi? and for that Him, i would advice you not to wait actively thou.. the most beautiful things are found by accident. ;)
