first day of school's tomorrow??!!!

i'm half excited and half nervous for tomorrow gOSH. i'm so excited to meet new people and interact with them!! i love talking to people and meeting strangers tbh. so it's pretty clear i'm shookt for school tomorrow aHAHA. but yes i am nervous as heck as well cos well it's a new school and a new environment, who wouldn't be scared?????? looking on the bright side tho, i have tons of secondary schoolmates who will be going to the same jc as me so wooooo. it gives me a certain sense of assurance that there will be many familiar faces tomorrow! on a side note, all the best to everyone who's starting school tomorrow as well!! i hope you'll be able to meet tons of new friends and make lots of new memories in your school. don't be afraid to come out of your shell and beyond your comfort zone to talk to new people during orientation hoho. wishing for the best first day of school for everyone and have a good school year ahead!!! 💓💓💓💓

JUST A SMALL NOTE

hi everyone!! i hope that there are at least some people who read this 😅😅 either way, the O level results have been released today! in all honesty, i am disappointed. i think that it is pretty evident that i worked my ass off in 2016 and especially during the O level period. my parents, friends and followers have told me that they acknowledged my hard work last year, and i appreciate that. yet, i still didn't do as well as i hoped and yes, i did break down in the school hall today when i opened my result slip. but, i know that this is not the end. i let myself cry for a while, be emo for some time, but i reflected and i picked myself up. i don't want to live in regret and sorrow over a few numbers. i've moved on from the disappointment. i've learnt and i've grown, and i've learnt to let go. i'm going to keep working hard in my next school and do my best to excel. it may sound foolish, but i am determined to perform well. i hope everyone else is satisfied with the results they've achieved, and if you're not, pick yourself up and move on! it isn't the end of the world, there is so much more in store for you.

Hello kit!!!! I'm the anon who asked about ur holiday study routine and about ur subj combi, and I'm sooo happy to say I've got my first choice!! It's really thanks to u since I've been scrolling through ur tumblr and ur posts😸😸 and I just wanna say thank youu and ur SUCH A BIG INSPIRATION to me!!!!☺️ On a side note, I'm a lil worried about upper sec life ._. any tips on how to cope?? thank youu v much ><

hi there!! i apologise for my late reply, but it's good to hear from you again! i'm glad you got into your first choice (triple science, right?) !!! you did well, good job! 💯i have to admit that upper sec is a lot more hectic than lower sec, you'll really feel the pressure in the beginning so just prepare yourself for that! you'll get a lot more homework and you'll start to spend more time on cca since you'll have to step up and take on leadership roles in cca maybe HAHA. but, don't stress! i think the most important thing is to really set your priorities right and manage your time well to be able to do everything. don't leave homework to the last minute! complete them the day it's given to you, you'll somehow find yourself being able to handle the workload 😉 also, study consistently, don't leave studying for tests to the last minute too! you'll find yourself having tons of tests in upper sec so always make sure you spread out your revision and study a bit for the test daily. does that make sense????? just don't only study the day before HAHAHAHAH.hope this helped and feel free to leave me another message or ask if you want tips on any specific thing idek HAHA and thank you for your kind words 💓 all the best for sec three! make new friends and have a blast! make sure to have fun while coping with school 🙌🏻🙌🏻

hi if i may ask when did you start studying for your o levels? ps i love your studyblr it gives me great motivation ahahha

hi there! i really apologise for this late reply 😭

i started studying really hardcore and chionging about one and a half months to O’s! around the September holidays because my prelims just ended then. 😅 but i really do think i studied pretty hard throughout my upper sec life, HAHAHA.

and thank you sm!! 💖💖

TO ALL MY FOLLOWERS,

first of all, i sincerely apologise for my disappearance on tumblr. as most of you would have known, O’s started about three weeks ago and i have been extremely busy revising and consolidating my knowledge for the various subjects. as such, i have neglected my studyblr and did not post anything in this last month. hence, i’m really sorry to all my followers for this hiatus.

i only have a week of O’s left, and i doubt i would be doing much studying after O’s. however, i am pretty certain that i will be moving on to jc next year and thus, i will be continuing my studyblr journey when jc life starts, so feel free to unfollow me until then!

last of all, thank you to all my 3,331 followers! i really didn’t expect to get so many followers and meet so many friends along this whole way, so thank you all so much! i sincerely appreciate every compliment, reblog, and pm sent. you’ve made my O’s journey a lot more bearable and motivated me to stay strong through it all. i would definitely credit my motivation to study to the studyblr community and friends i’ve made here. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

so, till we meet again in 2017! all the best whatever you do, everyone and always remember to stay strong through it all! YOU CAN DO IT!

ps: my ask and message box is always open!!

+ day 100 // 100 days of productivity ft english language analysis weyhey woo hoo it’s over! i actually finished this a couple of days ago, but didn’t have the time to post since ive been so chocked up with work to do (and also my website blocker wouldn’t let me on tumblr for more than 2 minutes a day ahah) yesterday i finished my first out of 8 exams for VCE and it was my japanese oral!!! it went ok, not as perfect as i would have liked, but honestly, in real life, you can never be fully prepared for a conversation, it’s mostly winging isnt it?

from now on i’ll be posting under “days of exam smackdown” rather than productivity, since that is now my focus! coming up next is my chinese oral exam in a week! 加油！

[studyingkit]

good job on completing your 100 days!! so proud 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 all the best for your Chinese oral exam! 💓

special shoutout to @studykouffee @studyingkit @studymoo even though I know y'all are on (semi) hiatus in prep for O’s but just wanted to say jIAYOUS (*^◯^*) I’m rooting for y'all!!

9/10/16 1:37 PM // Second half of this week’s bullet journal spread + physics notes on a sunday morning before church 🌿📖 Also managed to finish my statistics homework before I left. Thinking of compiling all my OC’s into one book but I’ve never really planned them outside of my head. Still need to write an essay about a famous Chinese person for my Mandarin lesson. Hope this week treats me well 😁

My new timetable has been revealed. At least I don’t have an 8 am class YAY!!

I’ve been feeling a little down these couple of weeks. It seems like some people are using me as a benchmark for their grades and get all excited when they beat me. It’s very pressurizing and affecting my motivation to study. Has anyone else been in the same situation?

[tomi-letters]

Backstory: I took these photos last year when I was in Japan. The first being a random street I was walking down and the second at the top of the building of my apartment!

I really miss Japan, a lot. During the entire period of my examinations I had really negative thoughts, about how tired I was from studying, and I kept thinking about wanting to be back in Japan. I thought a lot about what I wanted to achieve and where I wanted to be which…lead to this being made.

Whatever you’re trying to achieve, whatever you’re aspiring to be, you’ll get there. Someday.
