A Week of HKCEE

Where shall I start first? It's been a whole week after my last blog. You may have wondered what I am doing during this period of time, don't you? I have to tell you that this week is very important to me. In fact, the things that happened in the past few days were related to all the Form Five Students.

On the eighth of August, that is two days before the releasing of the academic result of the HKCEE. I went to a talk organized by the Guidance Team of our school, which told you how to prepare for the day. It was actually a sharing session; students who couldn't promote to Form Six in our school come back and told us their stories. For some experiences of them, I was really about them. Getting one mark less than the requirement mark, they had to find other school in order to continue their study.

After that talk, I was indeed frightened! Since the sharing from the old graduates, I was very worried about my result. If I couldn't get enough points in the HKCEE, what would I do? Where had I go to find the schools? Were there any other ways to come back to study in my high school? Did I really have that quality to get that amount of marks? Would there be any accidents? A lot of questions came out of my head. There were so many unexpected events in life; would my result be unexpected poor? I keep on thinking about these in the rest of the day.

It was less than 24 hours before I knew my performance in the HKCEE. It was the longest day that I had ever had. The questions yesterday kept on frustrating me which made me didn't know what to do! I was lost for the whole day. The only thing that I did that day was to surf on web. I checked the blogs, read the news, went onto some forums, downloaded software, played the Yahoo Snooker and etc. I kept myself busy.

At that night, I had cross with my mother for just a tiny matter. I explained and she didn't understand. The atmosphere was tight at that night, and I didn't sleep very well. I knew I have to store more energy for the use of the following days, but it was less than ten hours before the notice of my future!

Finally the day came. I was unusually calm and blank when the teacher came into the classroom. When it was my turn to get the notice sheet, I walked slowly towards her and get my "future" from her hand. Without looking at that sheet, I sign my name on the receipt. I sat still in my seat, eliminating all the noise around me; I turned over the paper with my result of the HKCEE. Then, I discovered I got 22 marks! Although this mark was the same as I predicted, I was joyful to get such marks. It was because, I could promote to Form Six and my future was still "observable". Here's my result:

Chinese :: C
English :: C
Economics :: C
Religious Studies :: D
Biology :: D
Chemistry :: C
Physics :: B
Mathematics :: B
Additional Mathematics :: A

One thing I wanted to tell you was that my class did very well in this examination. One got 8As and one got 7As while most of other got 20 marks or above. The overall performance of our class was not bad, wasn't it?

You couldn't imagine how free when I knew my result at last. The only thing left was to fill the application form for applying the Form Six places. I chose 6C in my school which was totally a Mathematical class. I also took the following subject when I am in the class: Chinese Language(AS), English Language(AS), Physics(AL), Pure Mathematics(AL) and Applied Mathematics(AL). Form Six would be a new challenge to me.

Then for the rest of the day, I was no longer worrying. I hanged out with my friends and had fun with them. It was so good to know that I could still study in my own school, without changing to another.

That day was a resting day. I spent most of the time with my friends. It would be so boring to tell you all the things on that day, even I didn't remember so well what had really have! Although I could have, there were still many candidates searching for the schools. It was a pity to see them on TV, as they tried very hard in doing so. I was wondering why they didn't work hard before? I knew this kind of question was very arrogant and hurt to others, but that was what I think.

Today was a remarkable day! Knowing my result of the HKCEE, my parents would like to buy me something as a reward. They firstly thought of a mobile phone, but I told them it was useless to me. In face, I hated mobile phones as people could then find me anytime and anywhere. I then suggested having an iPod Mini as a gift and they promised! It was an iPod Mini!

That was my iPod Mini in Blue! I loved it so much. You know, I was always finding a MP3 player with good appearance and acceptable sound quality. After searching for a year, I still felt that iPod is the best! That was why I chose it. You might say that it was too big compared to other MP3 players; besides, it didn't have radio function and record function. However, the touch panel of it was too great! You can't find any other players that could compare with it. I had so many things to tell you about my iPod Mini, I'll write about it tomorrow.

Once you owned it, you would love it the same the way that I did. This product was incredible. It even made to think about change the Windows to Mac! The Mac Mini seemed beautiful as well.

It was yesterday. I discovered a little problem with the iPod Mini connecting cable. The problem was that the clip of the cable was suck, making it difficult to separate it from my iPod Mini. For this reason, I went back to the store in Mong Kok for a replacement. Despite the fact that it rained heavily when I arrived there, I was pleased with the shopkeeper's service. After all there, I put the earphones on and enjoyed the music from my iPod Mini on my way home. It was again fantastic!

What am I doing today? I went to the UA Cinema in Admiralty with Ho Wai and Patrick to see a film. The film is called "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", which is very educational. However, Ho Wai doesn't enjoy the show very much. Then we have our lunch in the McDonald's and then set off to Wan Chai. I'm going to the 298 Computer Zone to buy a soft jacket set for my iPod Mini. I treat it like my pet, with all my love. In Wan Chai we called Brian and we are together until four o'clock in the afternoon.

Finally, I've finished this writing. I am very busy and tired recently. Now, you have some ideas what I have done. Actually they are not big things, just a ordinary life of a teenage. Once again, I love my iPod Mini!
