I woke up and suddenly kicked my boster on the floor . Guess I must have had another nightmare .
I went to School and saw Wei Wen doing the Portfolio . I asked Ai Hui if there is any Maths Lessons today .
" No . Can't you memorise the Time Table ?! "
She started showing off her knowledge of our Time Table of the day .
" Hey , can you sit with me during Chinese ? " I begged .
" No ! " She rejected the offer at once .
" I never bing the papers ? "
" Then you sit there and listen ! "
I can't be bothered to argue with someone who is not interest to help me at all .
When we reached the classroom , I looked back .... thinking that Li Xin would be able to help me .... Alas ! She was absent today !
We did some compo during Chinese . Ai Hui sat behind me and helped me with those words which I know how to use yet don't know how to write .
" Mu Jie , can you lent me correction tape or liquid paper ? " Ai Hui asked .
I handed her my correction tape .
" Um .... sorry . I prefer liquid paper . "
" Next time , you ask from your Him . " I teased her .
Chemistry was next .
" Um , Ai Hui , can you help me to bring my things down to the lab ? I want to go to the tolite . "
" No . You bring yourself . "
FINE !
I dumped my things at the lab and asked permission from Ms Ong before running to the loo . When I came back , Ms Ong had already started teaching .
She was on a topic called , " Organic Chemistry , " which I knew nothing about it .
We went back for English . We were supposed to edit our Mid Year Exam Papers . Devi helped Ai Hui while I just sat there and daydream as I forgotten to bring my answer script .
Devi left during Recess and I helped Ai Hui with her editing . I gave her all my best and almost cracked my head on the wall thinking for a better sentence structure .......
After helping her with English , we contuined doing our Chinese Compo . It was still recess and we had lots of time .
" Ai Hui , can you help me ? " I asked .
" Okay , Only 1 word . The rest ask Jocelyn . "
I was asking Jocelyn when Ai Hui came and asked me , " Um , can lent me correction tape ? "
" No . "
" Liquid paper ? "
" No . "
" I know ..... self service ....... "
She went to my pencil box and took it .
Recess was over and it was Chinese again . Ai Hui sat with Tian Tian , Zhi Hui , Mei Qi and Jocelyn .
I asked her to sit with me but she turned down my offer with a wave of her hand . So , I sat there all alone and copied the answers on a piece of foolscape .... Some time later , I realized that Teacher was teaching abother paper which I have it with me !
Ai Hui was called out to the front to read some passage during Literature and we were dismissed after that .
I went home , wanting to spent my afternoon mugging for Chinese .
I switched on my Handphone and realized someone had called me . The number was very very familar ..... It was Lydia . I called her back and she wanted to meet me in Yuhua Secondary School . She wanted to buy some files and have lunch .
I agreed . It was still early and I was at home . I actually decided to skip lunch and start mugging for Chinese . Whatever . It's not ideal to miss lunch .
I was on my way when I saw 4 Hello Kitty toys which I brought it at once .
Ate with Lydia , Yvonne and Yu Quan and I treated them Bubble Tea after that. I went home , bathed and started mugging . Mum was not home yet .
She finally got home after some shopping . I saw the " bug kill shelf paper " and told her that she brought the wrong thing .
She wanted the crocoraches kill type . I started exploring what she brought whereas she went into the kitchen for a drink .
" Tonight you have tuition ? " She asked .
" Nope . " I answered .
" Why you always don't want tuition ? If you so good , what grades you get ? "
" How I know ?! " I shouted , " You think I only take one subject ? I got to study for Chinese okay ! "
" Do you know that you have O Level ? "
" Chinese is also O Level ! "
" You had improved but still not good enough ! People studied from Combine Science to Pure Science ; and your maths ! Everythime I ask you , you always answer don't know . "
" I'm not the only one ( who dropped to Combine Science ) ! "
It's all because of your this type of attitude that's why I don't want to tell you anything . Brother's the same , he also don't tell you anything !
" If you so good , you get A1 for Chinese ! "
I cried and cried and cried . I don't want to study anymore ! I don't want to ! What I've said is true ! Mum don't know that Brother sat for his Higher Chinese Paper till Cousin Hui Ying called and asked about Brother's result !
Everytime people asked me about my subjects , I told them that I've dropped to Combine Science , with pride and honour ! Not embrassment !
And yet .... You call this " Mum " ?
I already know that my Chinese is not good , that's why I'm coming back home early everyday to revise . Futhermore , I'm learning the Chinese Spellings . I am determined to score well and don't wish to retake it in October / November !
I had even stopped using Computer , not that it can be used . I can always blog or listen to music or read my dear novels !
Mum's there blamming me for everything ! You think I really like the feeling ? Telling people that I dropped ? Not knowing if they are looking down on me ? Well , even my own Mum looks down on me , what more do I had to say about others ?
I don't feel like studying anymore ! I don't want to work double hard anymore ! What's the use anyway ? No one's encouraging me .
Well , I can pass , what's the big deal ? Me passing my Chinese O Level is already a miracle for Mum , so what for I work hard , aiming for my B or A ?
I might as well hit the novels now ! Do something I prefer doing . You think I love staying up doing Chinese every afternoon when I can easily have a nap !?
You think I like studying till 11 pm everyday when I can easily decorate my room ? I had even stopped clearing my room ! I just dumped everything onto 1 of my table so that I can have another CLEAN table to work !
Worst come to worst , I'll retake my CHinese some other time ! Not like I'll be the only one retaking .
I read the " bug kill shelf paper " . It's poisons . Maybe ..... maybe ...
Haha ... Nah !
That'll means that I'm giving in to my Mum ! Letting her mock and discrinamte me ! I won't fall down that easily ! I , Liew Mu Jie , won't fall down that easily ! Even if I fell , I would stand up and carry on running !
I'll throw my result slip at her face and show her what her real daughter is capable of achiving !
I shall vent all my anger and hurt into striving for a better grade ! Improvements !
No one is able to make me change my mind !
I'm all set and ready to go ....
I won't need to retake any subjects ever again !
If people like Ai Hui , Lee Zhen , Meiqi ... etc ... are able to score A1 , I won't loose to them ! I can do it too !
YES I CAN !
Now , Mum , just go away and be your own wet blanket ! Don't bother me . I've got better things to do .
There's so much I've yet to achive !!!!!!!
