Hahah yes it took me roughly a month before I bother to actually write this out... X:

Recently (I MEANT, LAST YEAR :P), there were some interesting incidents that sparked controversy online. o_o Namely Adelyn Hosehbo (my favourite catchphrase at the moment LOL), Aaron Tan and Kwek Jian Qiang [!!!] (Nice ending for 2011 by the way). I must really commend on us Singaporeans man! Can really make things go viral sooo quickly. \O/ Being very much a tech-savvy bunch of people, forums and portals allowed easy sharing of information, but mostly debatable ones ROFL like those mentioned above!

I just had to screenshot this!

Other than expressing their concerns (mostly negative comments though), many Singapore netizens were fast enough to point out to the international audience that these are isolated incidents. One would be that not all Singaporeans speak like Aaron Tan. So much for putting our country on the world map!

Actually... THATS ALL. -_- Heh. Next topic on the next post yea!

IT'S A NEW YEAR!!!11
Cant believe a year passed just like that. :) 2011 was one with awesome memories. Not much of studying, though! :P

Besides being posted to a completely new study environment, I've also started to work (too many companies to name, heh) and volunteer (also at many places) on a regular basis. :D People always say that not everything can be learnt from the textbook, and indeed it is something very very true.

My changing factor this year, would be participating in the CITI-YMCA Youth For Causes (YFC) competition. :') It just happened Xing Liang asked if we (Jian Qiang that famous dude, Bryant and I) wanted to attend this Business Proposal Writing Workshop... Only to find out it actually prepares us for the social entrepreneurship competition. We joined, initially thinking for our portfolio. (How practical right) But after months of planning and organising, and seeing our carnival fall into place, we are all very thankful for this opportunity given and at the same time, started to have a sense of social responsibility!

As the saying goes, it only takes a spark to start a fire. As a result, we joined the Bedok CC Youth Executive Committee (Yes, in Bedok) and for myself I joined the YFC Alumni. *woots!* Hahah, joining such activities are so much more rewarding than getting good grades man. :b

Another thing I am thankful for, would be all my friends. ^^ Which are my polytechnic friends, secondary school friends, primary school friends (whom I still keep in contact okay) and other people I got to know along the way.

Despite our widened social circles, I'm glad I still meet up with my closer friends frequently! They are the ones whom you can really share your thoughts with... So here's a thumb up to them! (Y)

It's the company that matters. C:

For 2012, I wish to be more productive and that is, to procrastinate lesser. :D
Haha somewhat a resolution I guess? Nonetheless, I hope this will last me for at least a quarter. :V Heh!

2011-12-27T23:15:00.003+08:00

Wanted to talk about certain issues for some time already, but as usual, procrastination got the better of me. :P At least I eventually did (now)! *proud of myself* So here they are...

Since young, I've been fascinated by Singapore's public transport system. How we can get to the other side of the island so efficiently! :) Like honestly, I thought I could survive without my own car... Until the massive train disruptions on the 15 and 17 Dec this month, spanning 5 hours and 7 hours respectively. *_* Worst in their 24 years of operation man! *gasps*

Though I was not physically affected by both incidents (thankfully), I was somewhat appalled by the way SMRT handled this matter. :/ It is understandable, since in the 24 years, it was running pretty smoothly, and nobody would have expected it to break down all of a sudden. But everything depreciates over time right! =S There should, at least, be some form of hierarchy chart to facilitate communication. It can be seen so clearly that they certainly need to brush up on their communication skills, within themselves and to commuters. :X

Being one of only two remaining public transport operators in Singapore, one would expect them to be of high standard. (The reason why they still exist) For now, I can only… *facepalm ah facepalm*

Some of the MANY (Really a lot omg) news articles I find interesting:
1. SMRT says sorry for 'income opportunity' message to taxi drivers - http://www.straitstimes.com/The-Big-Story/The-Big-Story-3/Story/STIStory_745592.html
2. MRT breakdown: Tracking the woman in the rail hot seat - http://www.straitstimes.com/The-Big-Story/The-Big-Story-3/Story/STIStory_746312.html
3. MRT breakdown: Frustrated, confused commuters - http://www.straitstimes.com/The-Big-Story/The-Big-Story-3/Story/STIStory_745594.html
4. MRT breakdown: Don’t break the windows, says SMRT - http://www.straitstimes.com/The-Big-Story/The-Big-Story-3/Story/STIStory_745972.html

Not to mention the many creative 'artpieces' created by netizens! ^_^ All so funny and sarcastic.
Next issue be on the next blog post. (Cos its abit long uh) :D

2011-10-10T21:01:00.002+08:00

10 months down the road, I've been exposed to a lot of new stuff. (: One of the more significant ones would be, the geography of this island I reside in.

With work and other commitments, I need to travel to many places, often in a day together. ;/ This gets really frustrating for someone without GPS as I have to seek directions (sometimes inaccurate) from people and passers-by. At least I'm glad that my sense of direction is kinda good heheh. :P But in any case I was given the address before the actual day, I will find out the exact directions. From StreetDirectory.com! :D

Hahah it must be damn nerd on my part that it is in the 'Most Visited' column when I open a new tab on my Chrome browser, LOL! :p Still, from Winsland House to the Paya Ubi Industrial Park, full directions are given from the website! It is just too awesome as it was able to retrieve ALL the buses and trains' information. Talk about ideas for life betterment. :)

And because of this, I became much more informed on the places around Singapore! Once when I was taking a cab back home with Jian Qiang, I gave the driver directions instead. How weird right LOL.

---

Anyway, on a sidenote, school have started! Boring so far as the lecturers are just introducing themselves and about the module blah blah blah. But I can foresee that it is going to be harder, with those marketing and organising projects etc. Stuff you cannot be perfect at! (Especially if you share different opinions with your tutor who will then, mark you down ;_;)

At the same time, more commitments have fallen into place. :/ I wonder if I've made the right decisions so far sometimes...? Nonetheless I will endure through no matter what!

2011-09-27T23:58:00.003+08:00

I'm addicted to songs by Owl City, specifically Adam Young. (: He is too awesome beyond words!

My favourite one remains at Alligator Sky, w/o rap though. When the one w/ rap was addictive enough... I chanced upon this version. :D MELODIOUS & WONDROUS~

"Rollercoaster through the atmosphere,
I'm drowning in this starry serenade,
We're ecstasy because cavalier,
My imagination's taking me away."

I know right.

2011-09-24T23:23:00.006+08:00

I'm surprised at myself for 2 reasons:

1) My results

The results for my very first semester was out this Tuesday! Was so nervous can! As everyone knows, GPA is cumulative and how I fare will affect me in the future. :/

Anyway, SP is evil enough to release the results at the wee hours of the night ._. According to seniors, they will send to our school emails at around 2-3am?! Obviously kiasu people like me will stay up for it right? ;P There were quite a few people who waited as well, and this encouraged me mentally to stay awake. Coincidentally, I was at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel and, who sleeps early in hotels?! Hahah.

Waited impatiently and as results were not out by 2.30am, I went to bathe. After around 30 minutes I was out, and it was there lying in my mailbox: 2.40am! -_-

& OMFG GUESS WHAT?

2 DISTINCTIONS & 3 As!!! A GPA of 4.0! :D (The smiley is not enough!)

For the first time I was amazed at myself for achieving such results! ^_^ Did not expect the distinctions too, as I thought that I fared better for ITB! Also the A for DBMS was so not predicted. :')

Cant wait to work harder for next semester, as I know I was not really hardworking and I was really just lucky! :S Or maybe...

"Pride before a fall, bro." :}

2) How I spent my holidays so far

As mentioned in the previous post, I spent my holidays going for CCA, working and doing community work. One would expect that working is the only thing I do (LOL) while the other two are lies. BUT YOU ARE SO WRONG MUAHAHA.

For the past week I have been engaging myself with community work (including stuff I do for CCA), which includes:

International Coastal Clean Up @ Pulau Ubin (Loves and misses the kampung environment)
PESA Awards Ceremony @ SJI (Enjoyable time w/ other VSMP volunteers)
Weeding @ The Southern Ridges (Exploring Telok Blangah Hill Park)
Y Outing @ ASPN Center For Adults (More awareness for the intellectually disabled)

Honestly speaking, I decided to spend my time meaningfully was due to the fact that I could not find work ROFL! :X But also, it was as I have to complete community service hours as part of VSMP service practicum. I am thankful for that obligation that I get to meet all sorts of people, from other volunteers to the beneficiaries. It is really insightful and interesting!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I joined Bedok CC Youth Executive Committee, and the biennial general meeting is tomorrow! Ha, the irony over my choice and the place I live. \: Gonna sleep soon.

2011-09-13T00:05:00.001+08:00

Why do poly students have such long holidays? :/ I really need to find something else to do other than going to school for CCA (haiz for the travelling time), WORKING (T_T) and doing community service (for real okay!). Heh...

Examinations last month went pretty well. :) There were only 2 papers anyway! How can I expect myself to do badly for them? :D Umm nonetheless I'm hoping for the best. O_O MSTs were generally fine, just a little screwed. Hope the exams will pull my grades up! Do want a smooth-sailing poly life. :P

Reflecting on August, it was kinda hectic! Intensive planning for the first big-scale event I was gonna organise - Naturact Fun Carnival on 14 Aug! Was put in charge of the finances of the carnival, and we are relished that we received around $5000+ of donations (including street sales) from the kind-hearted public. :') There is hope for a better environment!

Carnival poster!

My muggerish groupmates heh.

Also, projects were somewhat rushed. :S Had to do them concurrently so it was hard to strike a balance. =X Still it is good practice for the future I suppose! ^^

2011-06-29T00:11:00.010+08:00

Honestly speaking, I'm glad to have chosen the polytechnic route. :D Should I call it a blessing in disguise? :/ In secondary school, everyone is sort of expected to proceed to JC, the seeming norm, keeping poly out of sight. Poly is also said to be a choice for people who arent good at studies or are playful. Thus, from all the hearsay, my mind became set on the 2-year A' Level course.

Then just so you know, I got back my pretty disgusting O' results (yes to think to it...) so I'm left with only a few bottom-tier JCs but a variety of poly courses! Lets see... since I'm 'defeated' by the current O' level cohort, how capable can I be if I were to be put onto the same bell curve with the students from the IP programme?! Haha so yep, my choice is obvious, but at that point I was still... skeptical. :/

However after entering Singapore Poly, I was unable to spot the stereotypes present! Students on a whole are well-behaved, and are rather studious you know! Of course there are bound to be some black sheep, still we should look things from an optimistic point of view, right? (:

Also, school (so far) have left me with lotsa time to do my own stuff! (Which includes blogging now which is usually medium rare LOL) Of course I tried my best in balancing work and play, and I must say it have been a smooth journey! :D

---

Anyway, guess what? I'm in the midst of my MST week and see how 'stressful' I am! (MST is just a cooler abbreviation for common tests) This goes to show that poly is not all about mugging! (Y) /excuse for slacking

Hah. A random entry is not finished w/o an abrupt ending!

2011-06-12T18:57:00.008+08:00

3 weeks of holidays. :) Yes it seems long for a student who have just started school *ahem*, but I guess the older you get, the more activities you will have! Got to get used to a slightly busier lifestyle. Hmm LOL...!

Argh my slacky holidays has come to an end. :( Next week spells Mid-Semester Tests! Which equates to an additional week of slacking. :P Dont get how some people can find so many things to study /read up on that they need WEEKS to revise... but still shall reserve my comments to the end of MSTs. /:

2011-06-05T18:16:00.001+08:00

My first school term in polytechnic is over already! How fast! No more ~~stupid and time-wasting~~ orientation and bonding camps as well! (Hopefully) :P

Thinking back on my last 8 weeks (including orientation), I was lucky to have an easy time mingling with my classmates as they're mostly friendly and sociable! (: And the amount of workload for my particular course, I must say, is at a pretty manageable level as compared to the stress my friends from other courses had. Heheh!

Guys (excluding Henghong & Qingshu) in my class with Chonghao & Ivy... Hmm well you can regard Hueyming as a guy too, LOL! :X

Although my class is not very sporty, some of us organised badminton sessions within ourselves at least once a week! Not forgetting the fail tennis session where it rained, LMAO!

So far its only the transport part that I'm still getting used to. :/ Roughly an hour's journey! Must be really disciplined in waking up... If not I will let down to those classmates who always wait for me at the train station! (Ok I did tell them not to, but they're just... Hmm LOL)

Anyway, it is now the 3 weeks term break! *claps & cheers!* Must try and make use of the holidays to organise my stuff around the house (LMAO) and work on the Naturact carnival planning! I will leave the homework and studying part as optional HAHA!

2011-05-28T18:46:00.004+08:00

There are many popular songs nowadays. From the infamous Rebecca Black's 'Friday' to adorable Willow Smith's 'Whip My Hair', these songs include repetitive lyrics which are catchy so as to get the attention of people. Many will say that such songs are pointless and without a purpose. And I must agree to their viewpoints! D;

Was listening to my playlist while walking home today. Usually I will not care much about the lyrics... :S But after a rather insightful workshop on leadership earlier on, its like the lyrics became more meaningful! LOL!

"My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side"

~ If Today Was Your Last Day - Nickelback

This is one of the song I've listened. Every line is filled with something we ought to do, and with determination, we can really achieve them. :) If only I can be so determined to make a difference in my own life! :/

2011-04-23T23:34:00.003+08:00

It was pretty weird how I ended up working as a waiter during the 4 /5 months of holidays. @_@

It all started with an SMS from Jedd, asking if we want to work as waiters in hotels. Initially, I didnt want the job as I think I'm not up to carrying heavy plates and clearing dirty tables. However, after discussing with my mother, I realise that jobs are not easy to find after all, hence I took up the offer. :) It was only 3 of us anyway: Jedd, Mingquan and I...

Initially, we didnt know it was an agency, if not we would not have signed up! :/ And we worked in restaurants instead of hotels which is what we've found. :O Though the many bad experiences we had with them, still, they do provide really flexible hours so, why not? :P

Now, the other 2 had went onto junior college while I'm still working part-time during weekends. Hah, I must say it is fun to tire yourself once in a while. :)

Some workplaces that I've went before:

1. Brewbaker's Kitchen and Bar, Anchorvale Community Club

2. Garuda, Far East Square

3. Garuda, Orchard Central

4. Jack's Place, Great World City

5. Jack's Place, Marina Squre

6. Jack's Place, The Heeren

7. JUMBO Seafood, Dempsey Avenue

8. Kiseki, The Heeren

9. Paradise Inn, City Square

10. Paradise Inn, Marina Bay Link Mall

11. Paradise Inn, Nex Serangoon

12. Popular, Junction 8

13. Popular, Thomson Plaza

14. Putien, Kitchener Road

15. Shin Kushiya, Suntec City Mall

16. Wild Honey, Mandarin Gallery

17. Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe, Ion Orchard

18. Yuki Yaki, Marina Square

Total payment: $2417.60 (:

Not exactly a lot for such a long break, but whatever! :P

2011-03-20T16:35:00.009+08:00

Today is supposedly the last day of the March holidays, though it very much doesnt matter to me! :P Nonetheless, had a chance to meet up w/ my secondary school friends. (:

Met up with some 4D '10 friends (the best category I can fit them into, LOL) on Tuesday, and we had Sizzler for lunch! Not to mention that we took around an hour just to locate the restaurant. -_- While walking around, an Indian salesperson approached us to sell, coincidentally, Sizzler coupons. Bought it at $30 & was directed to the place by the same guy.

It took quite a while for us to order, again. And when the food came, the portions were damn small! Looks like Toa Payoh's branch is better for their salad bar as well. Their awesome clam chowder. ^_^ Oh, saw Ms Cheryl Tean - our form teacher in Secondary 2 - dining with her friends as well. What a popular place huh! o_o

Chatted for a while before deciding on where to go. Contemplated for like an hour ROFL! Ended up in Andrea's house (in the same shirt, lmao!) to play... sports?! I swear we're damn healthy man... :D Played badminton, volleyball, "catch the tennis ball" (Some game Gerald invented) & touch rugby! Not to forget yummy pizza and snacks from Andrea's dad for dinner! :) Played some rounds of Monopoly Deal before heading home. :S

Had 4E '10 gathering on Thursday at Marina Barrage! Met Ryan & Mingquan at Yishun MRT Station in the morning before setting off. Apparently other ex-classmates started joining us all the way to Braddell! Haha, it was relatively successful as there were a total of 27 /44 whom came. ;D

Settled in the middle of nowhere where nobody else did! Had canisters of potato chips, sea weed, cookies, sandwiches and bee hoon. (; Played real rugby and frisbee... All damn rough ZZZ. -.- Flew kite too as the wind was strong that day. ^^V

Left at roughly 6pm while we made our way to Marina Square for dinner at Carl's Junior. Some others went home as it was quite late by the time we end (8pm) so Ryan, Shawn, Terence, Jia Shen, Mingquan and I proceeded to the top floor for pool! I was initially very excited but guess what? Lost all the games FML! Wasnt on form though it may not be any better if i was. :P Reached home at 12am, sigh.

On Saturday, I went for a Business Proposal Writing & Presentation Skills Workshop w/ Xing Liang, Jian Qiang & Bryant (Xing Liang's current classmate) organised by YMCA-Citibank. I went as I thought it would be useful for my course, but little did I expect that it was preparation for a competition?! *_* When did charity become measurable?

Had lunch at Plaza Singapura's Dining Codes while we carried on our discussion. Some basketball competition + Carnival @ TJC lolol! Hope it will be successful! :) Played some games at Star Factory too! Damn funny when someone died at the first stage chapter one when he's in Shooting for CCA. >=D

That basically summarises my "March Holiday" (Okay I have been having holidays ever since alright) and yes I cant wait for school to start. :S

[updated on 23 March 2010 :) ]

2011-03-04T00:32:00.004+08:00

Since young, kids like myself would anticipate work life. :)

When asked of our dream occupations, its always 'doctor', 'lawyer' etc, or somewhere along the line. Adults, however, would always proclaim how studying is more 'fun' than working, and often time, it is where they derived the best times of their lives. To us, innocent kids however, we're confused at that point of time. Its like, how can earning money be something so depressing as how adults would have phrase them? O_O

But now that I've stepped into the corporate world *ahem*, I finally understood what they meant. :/ DAMN HARD TO EARN MONEY OKAY! D: Hah, though I'm just holding some vacation jobs, it made me understand the hardship our parents went through to bring us all up. :)

So for now, I shall make the best use of my holidays by earning alot of money! So I can... buy many things? LOL! >:) Haiz, what better resolution can I come up with, huh. ^_^

2011-02-13T18:56:00.004+08:00

I'm currently at my highest level of boredom so let me chunk out a blog post. :) Hehe.

Received my O' Level results last month and it was rather disappointing. Although it can be said that its kind of expected...? Since I know I didnt do my very best. :/ As it wasnt good (dreams of getting into NYJC is *poof*), I did not have many choices so I hastily put Yishun Junior College as my first choice.

However, few days after the JAE application closed, I pondered whether a JC education really suits me. As everyone understands, its another curriculum where a one-time exam determines everything. No matter how good your prelim exams were, they will only look at your A' Level certificate. (Unless you appeal, duh) So it made me think, am I really up to it? As far as I know, I am not a consistent person, not someone who will study all the time. ;P

Thus, I decided to consult my siblings. (Yes, only after submission, oops) One of my sisters felt that the poly route is better. Although a product of the JC-Uni route herself, she claim that JC is too generic and recommend me to pursue my interests immediately, and also since she knows I'm quite playful & may neglect my studies if I were in JC. Then, after some researching of my own, I began to agree with her. %D

PHS-YJ {L}

Immediately after the release of the posting results, I tried to appeal to Singapore Polytechnic. :) Since it was uncertain on whether it will be successful, I went for the orientation programme organised by Yishun Junior College. Met some new faces and had some fun! Hah, then came the appeal results. Happened that I was successful! :D Initially, I wanted to finish schooling for the week as we were on a project, but unfortunately I was sick, urgh. :/ When I recovered 2 days later, I was rather guilty of going back to school already so I withdrew my JC application. :S All hail SP! %D

Not to forget, there was a "Lo Hei" activity by my secondary school a few days ago. [: It was awesome! Met up with my secondary school friends, who were mostly dressed in their JC uniforms. Glad to see everyone branching out to their various pursuits. ^^ Also it happened that there was a friendly basketball match on the same day, and our side won, yay! The cheering everytime my school scored points made me miss the school even more... ;)

Now that I have nothing to do at home, everyone is pestering me to find a job. Zzz, shall try looking!

2011-01-04T18:01:00.008+08:00

2010 was certainly an exciting year as I had graduated from secondary school and will be heading towards the next academic milestone! :D ... Erm, not exactly exciting since I can no longer spend school w/ my dearest 4 Endurance '10 classmates! And Sec 4 Squad '10 during weekly trainings. Boo! :(

Basically the main events in 2010...

1.
Mugging for O' levels! Cant really say it was an intensive one because I remembered using the computer in the midst of the major exam! (WHAT) Nonetheless, I felt that I did well enough (hahah), thus hoping for the best! xD

The entire studying process would not have been complete without my family and friends. \O/ Especially grateful to Jedd, Samuel, Ernest, Jia Jun, Gerald, Terence and many others as they had benefitted my learning! Whatever the location - from Ang Mo Kio Library, Gerald's house to Changi Airport, Esplanade - you all were determined to make our session productive! It was also during these times that I realise that I'm really behind and must pull up my socks! D:

Ah, times at Esplanade when its damn hazy... We were hoping that the exams will be postponed! Hehe!

Especially memorable were the times at SMU w/ Jedd & Samuel! I liked how we always ask one and other questions that are out of the textbook. Occasionally we would also call Jia Shen to ask about science stuff. He's a really helpful dude! Yeah, it is such a good place to study that I once went alone to memorise Social Studies when the others werent free. :P

Perhaps the SCHOOL'S MANAGEMENT *ahem* did help me in one way or the other. :/ The night study programme gave me the opportunity to stay back & revise with my schoolmates. Detention classes provided me a good platform to do my TYS as it is usually quiet (though stuffy) and thus the two hours seemed short. :)

2.
Passing Out Parade! A happy ending to my 4 years in NPCC! :) Kind of a relief since its really tiring at times - stressing out over minute things like spectacle hooks, planning activities for the juniors, of course not forgetting making a mess out of NPCC room! ROFL it's classified as a tiring activity because of you-know-what-will-happen-inside! :P

Obviously speaking, what kept me going was Sec 4 Squad '10! :D We were somewhat supportive of one another despite the tough times. Although we were officially dismissed from the unit, I'm glad we had squad outings to Sentosa & East Coast Park on the 14 June & 22 December respectively. ^^

3.
I'm so glad that I chose combination B during the streaming exercise in Sec 2. :) Indeed, 4 Endurance was an awesome class with great form teachers - Mr Tan CW and Mr Li MZ! With the many events going on in the class everyday, I guess I better write in point form. :P

- Sitting around Terence, Wen Min & Su Ian during class... LOVE OUR RANDOMNESS LOL!
- Competing silently w/ Terence to solve math /chemistry /physics questions, and he always win. :(
- Mathematics lessons are always memorable with all the push-ups and funny businesses!
- Our class's chemistry standard leaped, thanks to Ms Hoh! IN YOUR FACE MR TOH. >D
- Playing poker cards during recess and getting our cards consficated. D:
- MONOPOLY DEAL. EPIC WIN DURING THE O' LEVELS PERIOD!
- I dont remember going for chinese lessons this year. O_O
- Graffiti and football goal post for International Friendship Day? Simply ROFL.

Look at Kennedy's face!!! :D

- ORDEM DE PROGRESSO to MEGA POOSSEE! No one objected alright, everyone's just glad. ^^

On a whole, I hope 2011 will be another great year and I can get into my desired school! :)

2010-12-09T13:04:00.003+08:00

It had been around a month since O' levels had ended, and oh my, time flies! The tough times of preparing for this major examination for the past 4 years... (Erm I think at most 4 months luh HAHA) is finally over. :) Though I'm rather glad that it had ended, I knew that I can actually do better if I do not procrastinate so much. Zzz.

Nah, no use thinking about the past right?

Did not have the urge to blog nowadays, probably as this trend is losing out already? Heehee. Nonetheless, there is still a need to record down what I've done this month. LOL.

... Okay this month was really slack. I used the computer almost daily - playing games, checking out Twitter & Facebook & Tumblr, reading news and most importantly, LOOKING FOR JOBS! Speaking of which, it wasnt successful at all. :( Guess thats what people means when they say we're living in an intensely competitive country. (I used to write this as well in argumentative essays, ha)

Still, I managed to work for the past 3 days in Paradise Inn @ City Square, allocated by TCC. The managers and staffs are nice but the only bad thing is that the location is really far. :/

It is really hard to find a job nowadays, especially when the economy is not very good. Went for Job-hunting w/ Hua Jie, Kun Han, Jia Hui and Pamela on someday in this past month too. Walked around Orchard and sent in application forms - but still... no job. -_- /laugh at myself

Not to forget, Gerald and I went to LSBC Youth Camp after being invited by Li Min. It was fun to make friends of the same age. Though it strengthened my knowledge of the Christianity faith, I'm still convinced that religion is simply a concept invented by people who have nothing better to do in the past. If not, why the existence of so many religions in the world? You mean, there are actually more than one God in the world? O_O

Actually, to me, fate do exists. When something happens to your wish, its coincidence. Religion is just a mean to boost one's self-esteem and to encourage himself to carry on with life.

Going to Gerald's birthday celebration in a while. So thats all for now! (:

Preliminary Examinations 2010
A review of my _____ results (fill in the blanks)

ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Paper 1: 18 /30 (Situational Writing); 20 /30 (Free Writing)
Paper 2: 19 /50
Yes, the usual grammar and tenses mistakes... Also, please strengthen your points for essays as they're quite clinche sounding. Argh a lot of things to do about improving english to be exact ._.

CHINESE
Paper 1: 18 /20 (Letter); 47 /50 (Composition)
Paper 2: 35 /70
What should I say about this, man? TRY to maintain the kind of standard for Paper 1. Heehee. :) Could have do better if I didnt spent half an hour loitering outside the hall during Paper 2 LOL!

E. MATHEMATICS
Paper 1: 67 /80
Paper 2: 82 /100
Do not even try to leave any blanks for O' Levels, please, especially the graph question which is supposedly the area you're good at. :)

A. MATHEMATICS
Paper 1: 68 /80
Paper 2: 87 /100
Somewhat careless, and revise on your concepts regularly!

PHYSICS
Paper 1: 30 /40 (MCQ)
Paper 2: 48.5 /80 (Structured Questions)
Practice more questions since you have like undone assessment books!
I am counting on this subject alright.

CHEMISTRY
Paper 1: 29 /40 (MCQ)

Take note of simple details in the textbook and be specific in your answers.

COMBINED HUMANITIES
Paper 1: 24 /50 (Social Studies)
Paper 2: 23 /50 (History)
I should familiarise with the SBQ format instead of being complacent. Also, finish the SBQ even if you know you will not do well. Giving up should not be a choice for you to choose, okay. Zzz.

GEOGRAPHY
Paper 1: 31 /50 (Physical)
Paper 2: 35 /50 (Human)
The amount of time I spent studying for each paper is indirectly proportional to my marks, hmm. :/ I do understand that it is still not up to standard, and I hope to improve by a grade or so.

Results aside, it was Graduation Service today! :D It had been a long journey for everyone of us and I must admit it was tough enduring through the four years as compared to even six years in primary school. The transition was hard to adapt and it was even harder for me (maybe us, yeah) to cope in upper secondary in terms of academic requirements. I am really good at procrastinating, (like hello what am I doing now?! o_o) and this ends up in wasting a hell lot of time. :O

Hence, do treasure your moments wisely now and make decisions carefully Vincent! ^^

2010-08-25T22:23:00.002+08:00

I am really puzzled by the recent debate over tuition for students. From my point of view as someone who has never received any form of tuition, I do not think people receiving tuition will have an edge over the others. Perhaps, it helps to build up the mentality of the students and make them feel better over the heavy workload they have.

Then, why do poor families feel that they're disadvantaged? In Singapore, the disparity is already considered small for a urban country. At least we do not live in slums. :D Students from such families receive financial assistance from the government who delightfully helps out to ensure equality. In some ways, students begin on an equal footing. :)

Even if there is an uneven playing field for education, it cannot be helped. D: Singaporeans are famous for being 'kiasu', which is the fear of losing. Every parent is anxious for their children's well-being and there is nothing wrong if they send them to tuition. No matter how good our education system is, parents will not be satisfied and will try means to put their child at the forefront.

Ultimately, students have to help themselves if they want to excel in their studies. I do not think the excuse 'I am not cut out for school." is valid as everyone is born equally! Unless the person suffers from any learning disabilities, that is. :X

2010-07-09T18:51:00.002+08:00

It is only the second week of school since it reopened but guess what? There is an ongoing homework flood. Kinda acceptable, since we will be taking a major exam at the end of this year. ;) Trying to cope well... lesser time for play, then.

On the other hand, I had my second try on O' Level Chinese oral this wednesday. It was certainly better as compared to last year, probably cos I was more prepared. I was also less nervous. :D Wishing for the best! (Listening Compre on 20 July zzz)

This is hastily posted as my brain is currently rejecting the thought of work, urgh. :/

2010-06-07T17:01:00.019+08:00

It is said that the highest point of Singapore is the Bukit Timah Hill, standing at 163.63m. I beg to differ, like hello? My pile of homework is higher! :O
Erm, any takers?

MOUNT HOMEWORK - elevation 3742m
(last measured on 5 July '10)

~~English - Oral assignment; Summary Planning Grid worksheet.~~
NO CHINESE THOUGH. XD

~~E. Math - 'ZHSS Prelim 09' Paper 2; 'FFMSS Prelim 09' Paper 2.~~
A. Math - "Determinant, Inverse Matrix and Simultaneous Equations" Heymath lesson and test; 'BPGHS Prelim 09' Paper 1 and 2.

So this is how I'm got to spend my June Holidays?! :/
Its like the school expect us to go through a mock prelim ourselves! T_T
Haiz.
*speechless*

2010-06-01T15:03:00.003+08:00

There goes my second try on the theory papers for Chinese O' Level yesterday! :/ They were rather alright, but with some hiccups for Paper 1. 私函 was 3 1/2 pages. Didnt use much of my profound phrases and idioms for my 报章报道 which was a record-breaking 3 pages, with lousily written points. Honestly speaking, I've never written such a short compo before - even my last try was 4 1/2 pages long. T_T

Paper 2 was... so-so? Another ordinary paper, just that after doing so many practice papers, I realised this is one of a kind that we had to copy the answers from everywhere, top and bottom, from the passage. Usually it would be just the lines that follow. :D

Su Ian kinda complained that I'm noisy, haha sorry, I know I laughed at the "Singapore is better than other countries!" passage. (: Oh, and the "Good neighbour" passage.

Umm seems that my life is like full of regret? I cant help but to resign to fate that I'll at least flunk a paper every major exam. PSLE was Science [!!!], which up to now I can still vividly remember that incident. It was my luck to get an A. Thanks 2006 PSLE cohort! LOLOL. Last year's was (obviously) Chinese. :(

Now hoping for the best for oral and listening comprehension! Do not panic under fear, Vincent. Must build up the faith that "aceing chinese should be no problem to you!" (quote Sis)

Not to forget, had my Prelim English Oral Exam today! Who agrees with me that it was easy? ^_^ Was glad that our class went first and my turn ended at around 9am!

I'm sorry to Mel Chua (LMAO AGAIN) for speaking so loudly. I was afraid my examiner couldnt hear me, somehow. Also, I've got a cough, so speaking louder will, hopefully, project my voice better, yeah? At least you stole my "charity drive" ROFL.

2010-05-21T02:05:00.008+08:00

Hey.
Omfg omfg, I seriously hate the fact that my best subject for Mid-years is...

CHINESE???
*claps reluctantly*

When I only spent 15 mins of Monday's night to memorise 过渡句. And yes I still remember the ~~crap~~ I memorised for O' Levels last year. All the 原因, 影响, 建议. Didnt know it had such an impact on my brain cells.

Seriously speaking, shouldnt had dropped Higher Chinese.
Now my Chinese standard is like...

-.-

I meant, if I were to compare myself w/ my past self, yep.

...

The fact that I dislike Chinese now is inevitable.
I dont appreciate the language anymore.
I used to think, at least if I'm not good in English, I'm good in Chinese.

NO MORE LIAO.

Nonetheless.
Over the recent debate of MTL weighing in PSLE, I do hope that Higher Chinese can have more recognition other than just an addition of 1-3 marks for entrance into SAP schools.

This will not work.
And how the standard of foreigners (especially those from China) will drop, due to us, selfish Singaporeans who have no pride over our mother tongue.

They scorn us, we scorn them. (Harmonious society indeed)

Anyway, back to school. (:

...I hate the Chinese "Intensive" lessons.
Teachers make them compulsory, but so freaking slack.

Even Raogay's weekly remedials, in the past, were more enriching.
I LEARNT SOMETHING AT LEAST, FROM THERE.
Hence, cant help it but to pon ._.
I wont mind getting trouble for this, since my current teacher SUCKS. (Dont mind my criticism)

As a student, I take charge of my learning. When I know its not beneficial to me, I will not hesitate to skip it.
Thank you.

2010-05-20T01:04:00.005+08:00

Haha, cut the previous post's crap - Mid-years Examinations 2010 are finally over! It is not exactly a good thing because it just implies that O Levels are coming soon. D: And the fact that I've burned midnight oil everyday, it added onto the things I have to improve on. *sigh*

Time for evaluation! Something part and parcel everytime after my examinations. :S

ENGLISH!
Did not really enjoy doing the paper! :( For someone who cannot describe his imagination well, I can only choose those argumentative /persuasive writing topics during composition. Chose the second topic about 'Discipline' and wrote about my perspective. It was a short one as I had spent too much time on the situational writing. Struggled a bit to present the speech yea.

Comprehension was (obviously) no better because though the passages were interesting, I felt sceptical over my answers! D: The bad thing is you must answer straight to the point and thats where I always have problems. Its either excess denies or just wrong all over. Haha.

Score: 38/60 {1} 23/50 {2} 29 /40 {3}
Reflection: Mrs Goh said, "Never ever start a sentence with 'But', 'And' and 'So'."
Grade: C5

CHINESE!
Paper 1 was kinda crap. :P It was easy, honestly speaking, because it was about the simplest topic I've always written in the past - 公函：投诉类 and 报章报道：现象类! Nonetheless it had been a long time since I've written a good piece of work. Will have to revise more effectively for O' Level, which is very very near! D:

Paper 2 was another easy one. xD Getting more used to the style of answering, I guess. The questions were rather straightforward, but nonetheless, I have not finished a full paper for a long time. :/ This paper will probably determine whether I will bother trying again...

Score : 55/70 {1} 54/70 {2} 48 /60 {3}
Reflection: Somewhat contented because I only flipped thru the guidebook the night before. Anyway, planned to start on O' Level revision a week before, because I dont want to get myself into the 'Chinese exam' mood too soon as it may stress me up, like last year ._. So yep! (:
Grade: A1

E. MATHEMATICS!
Quite a breeze for me, and I was glad to have spent my time wisely on humanities instead. :) Both papers were alright and there was ample time to check and prevent careless mistakes, hehe. The questions set were easy, just like those practice papers given by Mr Tan. But still, never failed to have problems with the percentages stuff, which after comparing answers with others, was terribly disappointed with myself... ha! :P Must work harder as an easy paper = harder to get good grades for O's!

Score: 64/80 {1} 73/100 {2}
Reflection: My lousiest topic - Mathematics in Practical Situations - contributed to most of the marks Ive lost. Also, careless mistakes plus misreading of the graph question. Seemed that everyone had underestimated the paper, which isnt a good thing. ;/
Grade: A1

GEOGRAPHY!
The examiners just did the right thing by scheduling Paper 1 (Phys Geog) with E. Math! Mr Lau did another right thing by not mixing topics. It was easy for us, in a sense that we only had to study 2 topics. :) Haha, this gave me sufficient time to finish up my notes and revise. Chose Plate Tectonics & Natural Vegetation. I must say I had a great time doing the paper as I even smiled at myself in the last 2 mins because everything went just so smoothy. %) Hoping for all the best, heh! :D

Was slightly more worried for Paper 2 (Human Geog)! :S Being scheduled on the same day as Physics, I thought I rather spend time on Geog as I have to maintain my standard of Paper 1. Still, didnt have time to finish my notes, hence just read thru the book and memorise the main points. Chose Development and Tourism, being most popular in O' Level. Most of the others studied food instead, but I was quite worried for those green /blue revolution stuff. It wasnt tough actually but I was afraid I couldnt remember those points.

Luckily in the exam hall, everything just flowed out well (FROM THE BRAIN RAWR) when I do the paper. The questions were so direct! But still I sacrificed a 6-mark question because I wanted better elaboration for my other questions, on a whole.

Score: 30 /50 {1} 30 /50 {2}
Reflection: Didnt expect it at all ._. Damn disappointed and upset, especially when others are scoring well. My points arent clear. Have to be more precise. Guess I have to do more T.Y.S. questions and memorise effectively.
Grade: B4

COMBINED HUMANITIES!
First week of exams was flooded w/ humanities papers and I must had spent too much time on Geography instead of SS or History. Argh, hard time remembering all the facts! ...

For History, was choosy over the topics because there were just too many essay outlines! Contemplated for quite a while, and finally chose Chpt 2.1, 3.1 and 3.2 as it has the least outlines, haha. (: It was pure bliss during the paper when I flipped over to SEQ and saw 2 of the topics Ive studied that came out! Hooray! ^^ But it didnt turn out so well as this overconfidence made me spent an hour on SEQ, leaving around 20 mins for SBQ... sigh?

For S.S., doom was sure awaiting me! I read up on Chpt 4 & 5 [Book 3] and Chpt 2. [Book 4] A lot of people read just globalisation, which was the correct thing to do!!! D: During the paper, Northern Ireland came out for SBQ, exhausting my theme completely. -_- Could use contextual knowledge but still, spent an hour on it because it was so hard. A complete contrast of History indeed! Left w/ 20 mins for SEQ = dead?! Wrote a record-breaking close-to-half-a-page for Q2(b). Worse thing was, I told Si Hao to study the same topic as I did! Damn paiseh zzz.

Score: 29 /50 {S.S.} 29 /50 {H.E.}
Reflection: Guess I did improve on my SBQ - no longer getting 8 but 10 this time! HAHA! %D Although I wrote Japan under the "Disarmament for Europe", I managed to secure a 19 for SEQ and my first L5 in my Semestral Examinations' history. *happy*

IT'S REALLY UNFAIR BECAUSE I SPENT AN HOUR AND GOT 13, BUT 20 MINS TO GET 16! =,= HAIZ, CANNOT MAKE IT FOR MY SBQ SKILLS. NOT GOTTA SPENT SO MUCH BLOODY TIME ON Q1(b) IN FUTURE BECAUSE I ALWAYS, (REPEAT: ALWAYS) GET L1 /1 DESPITE TRYING WAYS TO IMPROVE. SINCE I'M NOT GOOD AT IT WHY NOT SPEND MORE TIME FOR SEQ? :) ANYWAY MY HALF-PAGE GOT L4 /7 OKAY, WHEN MY POINTS ARE 3-4 LINES LONG EACH! I AM DAMN PROUD WORHZZZ.
Grade: C5

PHYSICS!
Finished revision rather early that weekend, fully clear of the waves properties and the various circuits. Did many Longman and TYS questions... which didnt really prove to be a success afterall, argh.

Upon reaching school, I saw Kennedy studying Thermal properties in the parade square, and I was like WHAT?! I didnt even know its tested ._. Tried my best to absorb all I could - memorising formulas and reading thru examples in around 15 mins. Entered the exam hall feeling all anxious, especially the latent heat of fusion /vaporisation which was annoying at that point of time.

Perhaps due to the few topics tested, Section A MCQ was really hard. Felt damn sian when at least 10 questions were on the topic of thermal properties, but fortunately Section B and C were flooded with my beloved circuits and waves, completing the paper with much zest and confidence.

Score: 77/100
Reflection: As expected, just passed Section A by a mere 18, :P but fortunately I didnt fare badly for Section B and C, getting a 59. Although my first A1 for Physics, I saw some really stupid mistakes at the back, where supposed correct answers were changed under anxiety. I find these situations damn dumb, when you are just thinking too much yea!
Grade: A1 (borderline)

A. MATHEMATICS!
Didnt had a complete revision as I only revised the topics that I'm quite unsure, like Surds /Indices /Logs, Polynomials, Linear Law, Circles and Integration. Did little questions as well, probably cos I started my revision late.

Feel like pushing (Connected) Rates of Change off a cliff because I have never even technically solved a question before! -_- I either referred to examples or asked others to solve it, haha. That was so true during both papers as I immediately gave up on questions that have "...the rate of..." - quite LMAO. :P

My opinion is rather contrasting as I found Paper 2 easier than Paper 1. Perhaps both my papers were quite poorly done: holds a high possibility (Indeed they were)! :O Still, I must start practicing more so that I will be less paranoid, unlike how I was during the paper - checking and checking my answers despite it being correct. T_T

Score: 54/80 {1} 55/100 {2}
Reflection: Rather expected for my standard but I'm glad because of my bare adequate knowledge for the many topics. Teachers were being lenient and gave alot of method marks, though I dont even know how to do questions like RATE OF CHANGE! MAXIMA AND MINIMA POINTS! *hyperventilates*

...
but got 60% of the full mark. o_o Most of my careless mistakes went to trigonometry, not forgetting the graph question. :X

Yes I remembered about this:
Decided to be honest for a day so I went to minus a mark for a question. In the end, I caused almost the whole class to minus the mark as well. Life GMH ya?
Grade: B4

CHEMISTRY!
I was really bored the night before. Spent farely little time on Chemistry, just reading thru w/o doing any TYS questions. I think I spent more time on the "Chemistry in Society" LOLOL, reading about scientists and inventions etc HAHA! (Why not tested tho) But still I feel I've finished the syllabus somehow.

As it was the last day of the exams, I decided to go all out and studied till 3-4am. In my opinion, the lesser you sleep, the more awake you are in the first few hours of the day! ^^ I'm also free after that day, so no harm!

Score: 59.5/100
Reflection: There were actually quite a number of people that were awake when I sent the sms in the wee hours of the night, but only Xu Ting bothered to reply, cos everyone was like, "Vincent sure damn annoying cant study." HAHA. Anyway the only person who replied got B4 as well! Yay! ...
Ok whatever. d:
I like the fact that teachers always round up the score.
Grade: B4

In the biggest conclusion of the mid-years.
L1R5 - 16
L1R4 - 12
Best subject - Chinese (79)
Worse subject - Combined Humanities (58)
(Dont dare to put big big lah)

Guess thats how my previous PM goes;
Cause of death - Meat... yeah.

2010-05-13T18:07:00.006+08:00

Come globalisation, Twitter and Facebook has become better ways to communicate and exchange between pals! Unlike blogging nowadays, people are really getting more busy as there are now more ways to enjoy life! ...
Hmm guess the above is what is happening to me because... it had been quite a while since I've updated my blog! (Who cares about blogging now yep)

Anyway, April was a spectacular month indeed. Many good and bad things happened, such as my birthday celebration at Soup Spoon, Ion Orchard with great people, failing AMath and Chemistry expectedly, and getting trouble in school. :X Still, life is about adventures right!

Though I've very much admired people in their smooth sailing lives ALL THE TIME, such as a fact that they always do well in studies, getting A etc, I do realise that a need to stay happy in whatever you do is very important. Thus, despite having no strengths at anything, I'm happy! :D

2010-03-18T20:41:00.003+08:00

Was there points in your life where you feel like giving up? That is when you really learn.

This week was rather amusing.
NCO Camp from Saturday to Monday! :D Though it took away my weekends, but had to admit it did bridge some bonding between my squadmates and I. Not only did the future NCOs bring something back, I further understood my squadmates. That is what matters most. Walking from Yio Chu Kang to Macritchie Reservoir was a test of endurance and not regret coming was a test of faith.

Went to Victoria School for Challenge Unlimited! 2010 on Tuesday. (: It was a basketball challenge and you-know-exactly I dont even know how to play, so was being a reserve that should never be substituted. Damn hilarious right. Furthermore, my team clinched 1st! It was an awkward moment for both Timothy & I when we got the medal. Nonetheless, congrats Jia Jun, Gerald & Ming Quan for their fabulous team play. Perhaps, I should try the sport? -_- LOL.

Geography remedial on Wednesday morning. T_T Woke up at the stipulated starting time and rushed to school. Felt loserish in the classroom because apparently I'm not going to learn anything, haha! Happiness was defined when Mr Lau dismissed us at around 9.30am! ^O^

Went to Qiang Yu's house for some games, (BALANCING WORK AND PLAY! :P) together with Yu Jian, Keith, Ming Quan and Terence. Bought KFC breakfast for the first time as well. It was 3 hours of Mahjong session and I ended up losing for the first time, argh. :X

Homework session @ Woodlands Library's Cafe Galilee after that with Hua Jie and Kun Han. It was a sudden decision thru MSN... Hehe whatever, did a bit of work and had more of food. Thus Hua Jie concluded that with food around, work will never be done. :O It was an agreeable thought.

Today was worse! Wanted to study in Sembawang, hence walked my way to Sun Plaza, only to meet with an imminent rain that was unexpected for such humid weather. Total wetness upon reaching. Didnt know it was so hard to find a place to settle in Sembawang Library. Sneezed and coughed as I got closer to freezing. Urgh, then moved outside McDonalds, thinking it would be warmer, WHEN IT STARTED RAINING AGAIN. -_- Kind of pissed because no matter where I went, it was super cold and I couldnt productively do work. No choice but to go home the conventional way ._. Sad day?

A random thought:
There are many blogs out there that posts about their daily lives. (Mines not excluded) But instead of just doing that, why not reflect on your activities? Pick out the learning points, and benefit from it! Other than just pointlessly fill up your archives with events and slowly forgetting them. (: Switch to Twitter /Plurk if you're gotta do only that then.

Mr Glenn Lim once said blogging will help to improve your language. Got_help_meh. :/

2010-02-03T19:37:00.004+08:00

The (last) Common Test is coming to an end, really soon, like 2 more papers left. :) Hopefully I can score well. P (hope) = rejected due to the fact that I didnt really study, zzz. =(

I really dont like people who can like score well in everything but yeah there is no valid reason for my hatred because personally I didnt spend my time wisely on the things I'm supposed to do instead I'm like blogging over here. (My fault of course) :S

Really, there are many things that I should catch up on, especially my Sciences. I'm retardedly stupid at the stuff there and guess what? Physics SPA 1 tomorrow. *sobs* I kind of hate anything that is related to O' Levels now, especially after a bad experience. :/ But an important principle, "anticipate change & staying relevant," shall do my best and be the best! :P (Yishun Primary's motto {worh})

Sis is right. There isnt a perfect measure of 'best'. Everyone has their own best. You cant be the best but you know you've done your best. So yep, I must learn to overcome that obstacle. :D

Nonetheless, reflections upon past exams work for me, so yeah, reflecting on Common Test soon. Feeling damn skeptical over them. -_-

Anyway, I'm a bit sick with my blogskin, urgh. (Surprisingly) Its like this shade of dark green which I dont really like. Prefer olive green. ^o^ WILL CHANGE IT WOOHOO.

2010-01-27T23:10:00.002+08:00

Actually, taking Chinese isnt that bad, except that the pace is quite slow over in my class. But who cares, I find it fun at least. :) So much able to enjoy Chinese lessons now (especially without gay & demanding teachers), compared to rushing homework like everyday in the past ._.

Wont really mind taking Chinese in JC if I ever enter one, since it will be more exposure? :D Education in Singapore better look into its MTL policy. I really feel that the HMTL route is very imbalance. (Spare a thought for those taking NTIL leh)

LOL (literally), not making this stand cos I dropped it, but rather that I had always been thinking this way okay. (Thats why I took HCL in the first place hehe)

This is more important than turning Social Studies into a... what?! Core subject? -_- (SETTING LIMITS TO A STUDENT'S EXPOSURE TO HUMANITIES - WORSE RIGHT)

2010-01-17T23:15:00.002+08:00

This will be a mundane topic. Who will ever think that I'm really this studious?! Ho-ho-holiday homework-ork-ork! (Learn how Ke$ha goes)

2010-01-16T17:28:00.003+08:00

This week is very eventful. This is how I prove it to you.

1. B3 B3 B3, drop drop drop ._.

2. Green Green Green, first three days.

3. Fundamentals of the Methods of Instruction. :)

Aiyah, the fact that I'm lazy to post cant be avoided.

2010-01-08T23:39:00.004+08:00

As you grow older, the amount of time you spend outside really increases. And by that, I mean exponentially ._.

Although it is only the first week of the SCHOOL YEAR, I didnt have much time to spare for any other things except homework! A strong reason is my incompetence in completing them during the holidays, but anyway, I finished both Social Studies and History notes in a span of 6 hours on Monday. This seemed good, but I may continue to edit them as time goes by, since I am utterly ashamed of myself for copying, zzz.

Lessons are as per normal for the rest of week, it was rather relaxing but still, there is alot of homework, bleh. :/

...Oh yeah, did I forgot about the 1-hour recess? Its great! There is now sufficient time to eat & finish undone homework. Hoho.

Went to Ngee Ann Poly's Open House on Thursday. (: The courses were really interesting as it broadens my perspective to those courses that sounded interesting. Okay lah, all are interesting in their own ways? :P It made me feel really skeptical towards choosing JCs.

I had always wanted to enter a JC, as being a typical competitive student, I will feel that JC sounds more reputable, but Poly isnt any way bad and I can still proceed onto universities if I obtain good results. Also, it involves more hands-ons, internships, flexible modules which will develop myself better!

Haiz, in a ~~stupid dilemma~~. Therefore, the only thing I should do now is to study hard, so that I can choose anything I want next time! Hehe. ^_^

Haha... best of luck to myself for the upcoming weeks & months then. D:>

2010-01-01T00:28:00.003+08:00

2009, a great year has ended just half an hour ago! D: It was an eventful year full of surprises, haha!

Many events has left an impression onto my simple life, mainly school-related though. The "good" times rushing FPS /FF proposal together, various outings with groups of 2E '08 classmates that were planned awesomely, the great Taman Negara camp with 3E '09, One Star Kayaking Course, June & December Camp with PHSNPCC, NCO Camp, Inter-Unit Quiz, .22 Revolver Competition & Survival Training Camp with Sec 3 Squad '09 (plus many more courses), Zhuhai Twinning Programme with Upper Secondary schoolmates, last-min studying @ libraries around the island with Jia Jun (mostly) and most importantly, uncountable trips to Malaysia with my family! {L}

These events basically depicts a normal student, so does that mean being a typical student is something enjoyable and awesome?! [x

Still, overusing the computer excessively during freetime, is a very bad idea from the start! :( Was that reductant to let go of it, and obsession towards social networking websites like Facebook & Twitter just made it worse. (they are fun, who cares) My results became worse through this year, however, nothing to be regretful over since its... over. <:)

In addition, to my friends /classmates /squadmates/ schoolmates who spent the year with me: A BIGGEST THANK YOU'VE NEVER EVER SEEN BEFORE (ON MY BLOG). xD
The time spent with you must have been ridiculously nice! It is really touching of you all to spend time with me cos personally I feel I'm quite boring, except sometimes I may crack lame stuff or whatever to spice things up! And I certainly look forward to our chances together next year, gear together for O' Levels or something? (:

Anyway, a new year is, of course, for a person to improve their own life, for why resolutions exist. Mines may be something hard to achieve, but anyway, wishes would be wishes right! :P

1. I guess my character needs improvement, perhaps a drastic one... to be less hostile, less rude etc. Many more flaws lah, but I must ask people for their opinions since its difficult for self to note. ^_^

2. To carefully enjoy 2010, the first year of a new decade. Nevertheless, I must learn to balance work and play well (had been saying this for a few years HUH ._.), which includes controlling my computer addiction. D:

3. To be more "involved" in studying, like taking out those ~~dusty~~ assessments /guidebooks from the bookshelf that is just behind my computer table. (Its handy and within reach afterall)

4. To get a minimum of 10 points for O' Levels for entering Nanyang JC, and to take my already planned out subject combination! ^_^

5. If according to my 10 points target without bonus points, my subjects' targets will be:
A1s for AMath & EMath, A2 for English, Chinese, (one humanities) & (one science)! Looks very very the impossible but refer to above can! :X

6. To get back the Edusave Scholarship I "lost" this year! >:( R-O-F-L.

7. I dont know why this is in my wishlist, but apparently a thought struck my mind that I have to get at least a Silver for my NAPFA test next year! Though I'm obviously not a sporty kind of person, thus this will be a good goal to aim for. LOL weird ._.

8. To endure through and improve my stand as an NCO... I dont know how to elaborate on this, but I presume myself to understand already so, thats all. :D

9. Although being an overly thrifty person, the amount of money I've saved is just so little, need to enquire on the money lost eh. (Do you understand me cos I bet you didnt) Okay, in short I meant: TO SAVE MONEY FOR RAINY DAYS, hehe!

10. To embark on another school overseas trip because they are just that appealing. *_*

So here I come, 2010! ~
(Now back to the rushing of holiday homework, HAHAHAHA retarded)

2009-12-25T18:22:00.002+08:00

Received a church card in the past, which was angelically designed! It featured the church structure that will popup when one opens the card. I dont know where it gone anyway, but it sparked my interest in making one this Christmas, out of... boredom? [?!]

So,

(to note that Photobucket has a GREAT Christmas logo! :D)

2009-12-17T18:19:00.003+08:00

Vincent and 23 other schoolmates embarked on a school trip to Zhuhai, China between 27 November 2009 to 5 December 2009. To me, it was worth the trip. :D

The trip made me substantiate the importance of my family and friends. When I was about to board the plane, I bid farewell to my family, and when they kept repeating that I have to take care of myself, this and that, it showed their care and concern for me. This may seem simple, but it was rather touching.

In Zhuhai, moments were spent without my family but with my friends. They were great people, and we had a good, good time together! [x It involved much happiness, laughters and quite a bit of sorrows. Nevertheless, I was able to further understand my schoolmates and the friendship forged will be there for a long time.

It was a great time spent with my buddy and his family, as they brought me to many places of attractions in Zhuhai. It was a good time spent exchanging experiences, and also for me to personally experience their way of life.

Personally, I was interested in another country's culture and their way of education. In Zhuhai, having Chinese as their main medium of teaching just made me had a fresh view towards the country. I was really warmed by their affections, but of course, shocked by their tough education system. It would have been hell for me if I were to study from 8 in the morning to 9 in the night, but still, the whole country endured it together without procrastinating! They were determined people who are highly involved in their studies, but changes must be applied gradually to ensure that everyone will have an all-rounded education.

On a whole, I would definitely want to embark on a school's exchange programme again, as they are seriously benefitting to me to develop my view towards to globalising world.

2009-11-20T23:17:00.002+08:00

I just realised that my posts are super long and even if I am going to read it in future, I will lack the interest to do so. Will try to cut it short tomorrow, together with updates for Day 3 and 4. :D

2009-11-20T22:25:00.005+08:00

[continued from Day 1. Pls press forward.]

Did a lot of packing when I woke up, so didnt brush teeth. Went down the long and scary stairway to have breakfast, which was gross fried rice and tasteless kaya and butter bread. It was INDEED a camp! P;

Rafting next; took a short ride to the muddy river. Used barrels and poles again, like OBS. (: Grouped with Mingquan, Jedd, Samuel, Kennedy, Limin, Xuting, Jiahui, Florence, Cheryl, Jan, Wenmin and Suian. The trainer gave some really great insights, and Pastor Wee was a great helper too! These factors contributed to our successful raft. :D We used extra resources and this made the raft super sturdy! :} In the end when we got into the river, we purposely drench ourselves! Haha, I even managed to get back on the raft! :P

Went back to cavesite and started on abseiling! It looked really retarded initially as I wondered why they were moving so slowly. Zzz. Waited for a while before making my way up. Met Suian and Cheryl, whom walked the wrong way. :O Who cares, we reached the place in the end. K; My turn came soon but I wasnt that scared due to a chewing bubble gum. Lying back to abseil was a cool feeling but not to be experienced frequently, LOL hahah. Hit myself on the rocks twice as my knees kept bending. Hmm, I even laughed out of nowhere in the middle. *_*

Next was caving! It was retarded too, because all we did is to walk in gooing mud and experienced natural air-con as a reward. I didnt mind as my shoes had great grip (quoted Mum) and was loafy and primary schoolish! (Cant wait to throw them away) I like it when Gabriel kept whining while passing waterlogged areas. As you know his shoes are umm, not the average kind, *coughs loudly* so he walked rather consciously.

I remembered making a comment about Jia Shen, cos he was standing at some high altitude and a good position for "beautiful scenery" (LOLLL). Immediately, characters involved changed positions! o_O Not dramatic in any case. (",)

Hopped my way back, washed up, packed my bag efficiently and saw the other group came. Boarded the bus and viola, off our way to the dormsite! As usual, sang many songs, but more of Christian songs because we had apparently ran out of them. :S I must have had a lot of luck on the bus, as I had small wins between Jedd and Junwei... HAHAHA, *evil and boastful laughters*

Reached Tekam dormsite, hooray! It sounded so much better that the sinister-looking caves, but not in any other way, better. D: Had our dinner and watched a traditional performance. "Cheered" for our classmates when they were sabotaged into joining. Most of the participants had this "better-stop-the-performance-if-not-I-box-your-face" expression, darn funny lor! (Y)

Made our way back to our large room, S5, which was just nice for 3E's 16 boys. (: Other students kept using our backdoor, as theirs were spoiled. Hmm, and I dont understand the fun in Chess /Chinese Chess, that everyone had to play it at a daily basis, including on the dining table! :O Slept on the top of the double-decker, with Keith below (duh). Mingquan even lined up two twines across beds for hanging clothes. ^^ Lights out was when we finished wiping the abundant amount of pricky heat on our smooth floor. :X

Sight for the day: I knocked my head on the pertruding ceiling, hit my right leg on the corner of the bed, injured my right hand while attempting to climb to Jedd's bed. OUCH. @:

[End of Day 2. Pls press repeat.]

2009-11-20T21:24:00.008+08:00

Back from Taman Negara, and wow, its really interesting! It felt really... "surreal" (quoted Chuyi) cos the environment is that different. We were not tied down by time contraints, instead, enjoy ourselves thoroughly in the fun-filled activities. Now, for the happy parts of the camp. Heheh, ^_^

Reached school happily at 6am before departing to Tuas. Yep, it was like a class tour because the ride was just... long! *_* Reached Yong Peng and had lunch, some lousy Chicken rice ._. Played Taptap using Sihui's Itouch with Huajie while trying to eat, *coughs*.

Singing random songs on the bus was really enjoyable, but usually its only those who are behind who sang... My favourite would be the chorus of 'Dont Trust Me' cos everyone would 'WOO' together, mad chio k! :) Tone gradually went down as everyone went into deep sleep...

Finally (not so anticipating it) we reached the cavesite! Grouped with Jonathan, Mingquan and Samuel for the tents. Place our belongings inside and laid out sleeping bags. Went down to have outdoor cooking next. A rather new experience? Considering that the mega heavy rain flowed into our fire immediately! It was quite scary [?] because everyone panicked (at the disco). We had to finish cooking quickly. Although Mingquan went to help others like ALL THE TIME -.- , we still managed to dish up a Mamee + slimy egg + squishy hotdogs + disgusting curry chicken combo. I was eating enjoyably at the back while the others were still cooking, HEHEH - so helpful right ._.

Due to the unforeseen rain, night "confidence" walk was delayed by an hour. Did some horrendous stuff in the cavesite before heading down. The walk (or run when you feel like it) wasnt something to build up confidence but more of teamwork, trust and steadfastness. (:

Embarked with Shuyuan, Keith and Yujian. :D Walked super slow indeed till the group behind caught up... EH WE DIDNT CHEATED OKAY HAHA. :P Yujian almost fell into the river... luckily trainers were around so we could get back. :O Yujian couldnt walk straight too! Kept walking onto the leaf litter aka soft ground every few seconds. Nonetheless, finished the "race" with dignity. (:

Went back to our cavesite after this. Should have went to explore, as I didnt really do much that night except to lie down with Samuel. Cheered ridiculously for a while before it was time to ~~fart (I wonder who)~~ get refreshed for the day ahead.

Sight of the day: During the one hour break, Keith and Yujian hilariously brought out their Chinese Chess set and played on a smooth spot in the cave with their torchlights, attracting much curious passer-bys.

[End of Day 1. Pls press repeat.]

2009-11-14T23:30:00.002+08:00

Firstly, it is finally holidays. Had O' Level Chinese papers 4 days back. A break from excessive Chinese exposure including songs restrictions, ROFL!

Secondly, STC ended 3 hours ago. Area 10 was... wacky. :P Experienced a bit of culture shock though, but nevertheless it was a great experience. (: Learnt many new songs, skills and indeed the rain did not spoil our fun. ^^ I certainly hope I could bond better with my 18 groupmates, aka Hot Pink. :D

Thirdly, Taman Negara trip in 2 days. o_O I have to unpack and pack my camping bag concurrently.

Fatigue has overwhelmed my soul and its time to sleep...

2009-11-03T00:39:00.007+08:00

I named my playlist "Exam-driven." Ironically, I'm still listening to the same old songs after exams, LOL. Eh no, I still got O' Level Chinese papers exactly a week from today! D:

Whats wrong with being exam-driven? Haha, but SOME people :O just choose to ignore this very important fact thats Singaporeans are nothing but competitive (also known as KIASU).

I find my recent report card to be a sheer fortunate for me that is. Also, a lil hilarious. [?] Gotten an A1, an A2, a B3, and 5 B4s. I was super lucky not to get any C despite being slacky this year. Certainly, I must cut down on the time spent on the computer because indeed, I was heavily distracted by it.

(Holiday assignments on a different page now, direct copy and paste, yay)

2009-10-19T14:39:00.011+08:00

"A" (grade) suddenly seemed so far away... especially after I got back my results. Hmm? Decided to throw away my targets, because they just doesnt fit into my results well enough. :(
*Four colours to represent my satisfactory levels: RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN. Of course, RED means WTF while GREEN means, duh, FTW!

(In order of papers received back)
English Paper 2: 21 /50.
English Paper 1 (Report Writing): 21 /30.
English Paper 1 (Composition): 22 /30.
English Oral: 33 /40.
English: 62%
Views: FAILED PAPER 2 FOR THE FIRST TIME, tad sinful during this crucial period! Most of my answers were Excess Denied. ;'( Its kind of ironic that I got the same marks for Paper 2 and report writing. -_- Speaking about that stupid report, I only got a 21 ._. Irritated, as I spent an hour on it! I can do this for English but not for Chinese, since both sections carry equal marks. Rushed through my lovely argumentative essay and got higher... Should spend more time on it in future. :D

Social Studies: 28 /50.
Views: Poor time management for this awful paper, spent an hour on SEQ, which I had a hard time remembering the factors and points involved. If more time was dedicated to SBQ, I WOULD NOT HAVE FAILED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. Nice that I got full marks for the part question (d), shall do that first for future papers!

Chemistry: 60/ 100.
Views: Supposed to feel happy I guess, but there is a huge room for improvement! P: Initially the marks were counted wrongly, haha, and I was graded C. Looked at the answer key and damn, the mark allocation is weird. D; Nevertheless, found some marks and jumped to B! :O Woohoo.

History Elective: 36 /50.
Combined Humanities: 64/100.
Views: I would really jump if I didnt get an A, LOL. Terribly focused on this paper especially after you know you wouldnt do well for SS. D: PASS HISTORY SBQ FOR THE FIRST TIME, and got slightly above average than usual SBQ-pros, which made me happy too. :P Unfortunately, a contrast to SS.

Physics: 66 /100.
Views: It is rather ironic right? Especially that I spent more than two thirds of my efforts before the day on Geog, but currently, Physics is my best subject which I only spent the day itself, reading through some formulas. Must focus on keeping to 3 sig. figs. FOR ALL QUESTIONSand writing the units.

Geography: 25 /50.
Views: Acted pro and tried to memorise almost the whole book, which wasnt the common practice - should have just concentrated on Natural Vegetation and Rivers &Coasts! D: Looked through my file and notes, and this is what I get for dedicating my soul (despite being effing tired on a Thursday night) to the paper - should have spent time on Physics instead, that may guarantee an A? <:) Anyway, made a lot of misinterpretations and missed out minor details which is why I didnt really score, too.

Chinese Paper 1 (Letter-writing): 16/20.
Chinese Paper 1 (Composition): 49/70.
Chinese Paper 2: 57 /110.
Chinese: 122 /200 = 61 /100.
Views: -thinking of comments, to be updated-

EMath Paper 1: 56 /80.
EMath Paper 2: 84 /100.
EMath: 77.7%
Views: Super sad, as I made a lot of careless mistakes! :( Thats why I can find many method marks for my papers ._. cos I used the right method but with a wrong digit or whatever. Kind of retarded right; I thought I'm less careless after CT2, but blah, still a long way to go! However, cant really blame myself if I'm careless, as I spent only half of my efforts in Paper 1, due to time-consuming History (though the subject is lovely) which means I didnt really practice any questions. Phrase goes, "Practice makes perfect." So yep, need more practices! :D

AMath: 61 /80.
Views: Another not-so-well-done paper, considering that it was rather chicken feat for me. (initially after completing the paper) Again, made a lot of stupid and redundant mistakes, which was less than fatal. ):> Nonetheless, didnt really spend time revising for the paper so... ("You reap what you sow.") its acceptable! :P

Overall: 2 A1s, 1 B3, 3 B4s, 1 C5 &1C6.
Shit this less-than-70% overall percentage, didnt meet my resolution - DIE, CRIMINAL.

2009-10-18T12:56:00.007+08:00

I thought blogging is about remembering the past? A published diary, that is.

Then why do SOME like to start their blog posts with "HI (WHATEVER)" BUNNIES CHICKIES POPPIES ICE CREAM? Quoting is prohibitied, if not people will come and ask me if there is anything wrong and if I intentionally linked myself to those involved.

Sometimes, I wonder what a tagboard is really for. Is it for people to tag, or flood? (Ambiguous)
I support the idea of putting a fake name and tagging. I suppose so, because you wont really feel good if someone you know is reading your blog, right? It is AN ONLINE DIARY nonetheless.

My opinion, I'm ~~afraid~~ sure some people are annoyed.
Actually, this isnt even a post.
Just feel like purposing a blog.

P.S. I like my argumentative essay written for EOY. It sounded nice.

2009-10-16T01:07:00.002+08:00

Went for kayaking course today with the Sec 2 &3 Squads! (: Had 3riple Crunch for lunch at Long John Silver's, thus reached school kind of late. D: (Cannot commit this sinful act again) First thing I did was to pass a damn cheque to Ms Choi for the Zhuhai trip. After that, it was super unlucky of me to see Mr Tan, cos I didnt know that we had to access our Math(s) reflections through Heymath ._. Quite stupid huh? P:

Next, took a bus to Kallang Sea Center! It was a long ride there and throughout the trip, Jia Jun and Wei Li were quarrelling over hospitals, (those usual stuff), ROFL. Yep, upon reaching, carried out kayaks, paddles, had some theorical talk before we headed out for some great kayaking!

Was the last to kayak out, and my skills arent good. D: Gathered and off we moved to some odd beach area - took an ultra long time to reach! LMAO, settled down and did a swim with our Personal Floatable Device (PFD). It was quite fun, before we were divided into 3 groups - imma Group 2 with 3 Sec 3s & 5 Sec 2s.

RECAP: (Parts of a kayak) Bow (fore deck), Stern (aft deck), Port, Starboard, Carrying handles, Combings, Cockpit, Kneecaps, Teeths (footings) & Hull. (Parts of a paddle) Edge, Tip, Power face, Back face, Neck & Shaft.

Learnt many things (which is the main purpose of attending this course), like sweep strokes (EXPERT), capsize drills {L}, J-draw (hard?), and the inaugural rafted 'X' rescue! :O

Regarding that activity, tried out with Jia Jun and Clara (Sec 2), where we took turns to take on the role of 'Victim', 'Rescuer' and 'Assistant'. It was FREAKING HARD to pull the kayak up for water draining! Super tiring to simply pull from the cockpit, but who cares, we did it the (un)successful way, heh! ^_^ Cant say we didnt cheat right...

Our last activity of the day, as we moved back to the shore by then. Going back is like so much easier luh! :S Washed up, changed, gathered as we waited for the bus to come. Nonetheless, the view is splendid at night, colourful lights emitted by the buildings, and the Flyer - awesome! :D

Had dinner @Northpoint's KFC with Jia Jun, Gerin and Min Min. Had my usual favourite and mini-talked. Borrowed money to the max already eh, MUST RETURN THEM ASAP! :P

Bathed upon reaching home, washed my shoes too. What a nice day. (:
P.S. Ears had been itching ever since. The invention of prickly heat, helps.

I must talk about the hot topic, soon!

2009-09-17T23:27:00.004+08:00

A peaceful Thursday night. (: Planning to do homework on Kyoto Protocol, a lil hard that is.

I saw a poem in my file of achievements which was rather interesting in my point of view. :D Yay?

"Tok.
Innovative, humourous, lazy, talkative. (Contradicting but kind of true to a... large extent)
Son of his creative father and hardworking mother. (Creative father? ...ROFL)
Lover of money, sumptuous chips and cool computer games. (Wow I didnt change!)
Who feels insane over computers, mad about television and hypnotized by MP3s. (Seriously do, OMG)
Who fears the furry legs, blady body and invisible wings of insects. (Not fearful now)
Who gives responsibility to work, innovation to projects and dedication to studies. (Model and politically rightful example LOL)
Who would like to see peace, harmony and love amongst people. (Not feeling so innocent anymore) [?!]
A resident of a peaceful block in Singapore.
Vincent."
It was a biographical poem I wrote when I'm in P6; one of the alternative assessments at that time. Interesting!

Woohoo, its only a few days to EOY but I'm starting to regret over Sec 3 life. D8 It seems so short ~~and life was not that tight, due to H1N1 luh.~~ I love tight lives where I rush through late night reports and assignment submissions. Mainly because I'm a technology freak? Not sure but I love the feeling that its night time. ^_^

Back to my work, hee.

2009-09-07T23:33:00.002+08:00

I want to be carefree and run along fields! :D

But my wild imagination bring me to the thought that (almost) everyone's mugging crazily. (the following photo is not anyone in particular)

So I should not be too slack. ^_^

On the other hand, I MUST study and ponder.

Anyway, I dont know why but it seems that the spotlight has been on Ris Low recently. (:

Some significant quotes? P:
1 "I go buy my mooed, *confident smile and wink* YES."
2 "I rrrrr noe because I dun realli cea."
3 "Everybodi's younick, everybordys yaaa."
4 "the everything that i've won is that a peace of biggini and jus jees, strut down allchad rud."

Shes now so popular (more popular than Xiaxue perhaps?!) that BlogTV.SG has a special report on Thursday, 9.30PM on Channel News Asia. *must watch!* YAY entertainment of the week.

Surprisingly, I started my mini revision today well. (: Did some EMath questions and revised on Geography: Elements of Weather. I cannot be much bothered about Chemistry... (oh dear) okay should study that later before I sleep, keke. Zzz, time passes amazingly fast when you uses the computer. *coughs* Worse still, I've switched on the computer for the 3rd time for today already. How sinful is that! D:

(Actually I dont even have an intention to post today... LMAO)

2009-09-06T23:41:00.002+08:00

September Holidays are here! *hooray!* I started this holidays by being super slack - sleep until 太阳晒到屁股了!, and using the computer for the whole day! (even when having meals) [ALERT!]

My schedule for this holidays is really, quite slack as well.
- Wednesday to Friday: Higher Chinese remedials ._.
- Saturday: Yong-En Flag Day + Inter Unit Quiz! (:

It is currently Sunday night, but I feel like its Saturday?
Yesterday's Saturday but I dont feel that yesterday existed. Why LOL. :( It means that I've completely wasted a day without thinking back. (It always happen for weekends...) Need to start planning a productive study guide now. Err, tomorrow la. :P

I feel like a:

:D

2009-09-03T22:51:00.005+08:00

After careful and precise calculations based on those atrocious digits in the report book, mines is like 4? Eww what a disgusting and horrible number. I was rather fortunate that Mum didnt yell for those underlines. *relieved smile*

Need to start working hard now! Could say that I had been slacking for the past few months, especially after June Holidays. THATS WHY I'M ONLINE ALMOST EVERYDAY RIGHT. So loser haha, I dont seemed to care! (but thats not the right attitude)

End-Of-Year Examinations is just 22 days away. Ready to admit D-E-F-E-A-T? ._.

Happy Teacher's Day. *lively* Went to a number of places today, but it wasnt tiring. (duh)

Went to school in the morning and had a super short celebration for only 2 hours. -_- Should have learnt from Jemmy and not even go! What a waste of my precious time. LOL haha kidding. :P Played volleyball for (really) less than a while and supposed made my way to primary school but was kind of pissed [?] that most arent going, thus decided not to go. Oops!

Went to GOLDEN MILE FOOD CENTER! With Daniel, Jedidiah, Kun Han, Seow Jia Jun, Hao Boon, Ryan &his friend. (: Had typical char kway teow (unfortunately not the yummy green one), watermelon juice and chocolate fondue. Haha, nice?

Its my turn, Daniel Lim Meng Lee!

I never really wanted to post this photo, but why wouldnt I. LOL.

Went to ION ORCHARD! With Kun Han, Seow Jia Jun, Daniel and Jedidiah. (the latter two went home early without informing ._. ) Basically walked around and err, complained as we made our way? HAHA, mostly about school-related issues. We even missed stations because of this. ROFL. Quite interesting to have a chat with Kun Han and Jia Jun. Hehe, had starbucks coffee too. I seriously prefer hot beverages to chilled ones! (OMG am I turning to an uncle) Had hot chocolate latte.

(Finally) Went back to PRIMARY SCHOOL! Met many familiar faces!

Sheng Xian, Yu Bin, Syafiq, Barry, Woon Ping, Zhi Yan and Kai Shan. (edited by Syafiq)

HAHAHA had much fun. Oh, Jia Hui came later too. =) Not forgetting Ms Sandra Lee (Hit the Road, Jack!) and Ms Anita Kaur. Hoho.

As my primary school relocated and merged, it changed logo! :( But haha, most of the stuff still remained. :D AT THE VERY LEAST THE NAME DIDNT CHANGE. :P

Searching random keywords on the Internet is more or less my hobby on the Internet. A matter of fact, the Internet is seriously too wide and sometimes, many things are typically ignored, especially those 'dead' websites. But still, there are many things that could be described as FUN AND COOL! ^_^

Oh, I found an 'inspiring' blog by a Physics teacher in RI. What he wrote inside cannot be argued, cos THEY. ARE. FACTS. (:

"I joined the National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) as CCA. When I first joined the CCA, it was because I felt that the uniform looked smart. I didn't think so much. I didn't know what I was in for.

My squadmates & I went through 3 years of really really tough training. When I was in Sec. 1, we had to gather at the monkey bar every day after school. Our NCOs would meet us there and made sure that each of us cross the monkey bar a few times. As a result, our hands were always filled with blisters. Eventually, these blisters hardened and became hard skin.

Besides physical training, foot drill was also an essential part of our training. It's really crazy, marching up and down in the hot sun, doing amazing numbers of push-ups and sit-ups. The record number of sit-ups my squad did was 500. Crazy right?

So, the question is why didn't I quit the CCA? After all, some of my squadmates did left us & I don't see the purpose in all that tough training at all. 2 reasons that I can think of. Friends. And pride.

Friends
My squadmates and I began to form a bond, mainly because of shared experiences (shared sufferings to be exact). My closest friends till date, besides my church-mates, are all from The Chinese NPCC unit 1994 - 1997.

Pride
Even at that age, I hate giving up halfway. I preferred to endure the tough training and show people that I can make it. There was a lot of pride in me, and that sometimes caused me to do foolish things in the latter part of my life.

At the end of 4 years, I attained the rank of Staff Sergeant and was the Publications Chairman in the Executive Committee. I had the badges as shown below. More importantly, I made many many good friends, who had been with me throughout my life journey.

Don't give up. Persevere on in the things that you really believe in. We need this in every stage of our life."

Anyway, it is related to what I did today. :D Went to school in the morning feeling excited over the day ahead, as there hasnt been formal trainings for weeks! So yeah, my duty was the First Aider, nothing much for me to describe uh? :P Haha, but the debrief and promotion test preparation part {L} was nice! Heehee!

After parade, went to Long John Silver (had been going there for WEEKS?!) with Jia Jun, Ming Quan, Gerald, Timothy, Shu Yuan, Gerin and Min Min. Haha, and went off after that... *umm* ROFL? (:

A "wAcKy" September is awaiting me; CCA + HCL + EOY! Nice one.

Had my last paper today! (:

[Drafted on 2 August?! ... Updated on 26 August!]
I missed my regular routine of reviewing my examinations results last semester.

So gotta do it this time then. (: Common Test period was certainly fast. All I wish now is to sustain my grades I got for Semester 1. :D

English
Semester 1 2009: B3
Target Met? NO, 21/40.
Who What Went Wrong Now?
I got 11/15 for Q&A. ^^ But freaky, a whooping 10 for summary! What the, my tenses are still not up to standard. D: Need to practice more on my weakest grammar I suppose. Definitely a lot for me to catch up! D:

Higher Chinese
Semester 1 2009: B4
Target Met? YES, 35.5/50
Who What Went Well Now?
This was very much shocking, lol! I didnt expect myself to get an A, because my answers are quite crapped up. :P Was rather pissed during the paper, as I cannot comprehend most of the questions. You can really see a lot of question marks in my paper, HEHE. Thus, went to do the summary question first, and from there, I was able to understand the passage better, hence able to do the questions. By doing the summary question it did aid me, as I used my summarised sentences for some of the comprehension questions. Great! ^_^

Mathematics
Semester 1 2009: A1
Target Met? YES, 32/40. (according to Jedd)
Who What Went Well Now?
Have not seen my mistakes yet... but anyway, I finished the paper in like, 40 minutes? HAHA. It was rather easy and I think I had a nice time explaining my steps, making it super clear. :)

Additional Mathematics
Semester 1 2009: B3
Target Met? YES, 33/40.
Who What Went Well Now?
I was fortunate to get all the questions on binomial theorem correct! (: It was previously my most hated topic. D: I lost marks in only the first and last questions?! So I can actually say modulus functions is my typical weakness. Zzz.

Physics
Semester 1 2009: B4
Target Met? YES, 30/45.
Who What Went Well Now?
I didnt really study for the test, as I felt lethargic the previous day, therefore was of course happy upon receiving the marked script. Didnt remember many of the formulas, and luckily there was not much questions of SVA! d: Lost marks in Section B. Constant revision is necessary now! P:

Chemistry
Semester 1 2009: B4
Target Met? NO (duh?!), 18.5/45.
Who What Went Wrong Now?
On the more serious side, I dont know what to say. >_<

Social Studies + Elective History
Semester 1 2009: B3 + B4 = B4
Target Met? NO, 15/25. (Social Studies) 8/25. (History) = 23/50
Who What Went Wrong Now?
I am feeling relatively okay over these results, as my SBQ skills are not very good! Have a big room for improvement. D: SS SBQ always seemed to be easier than History's? I always got an 8 for Hist SBQ. -_- (At least I maintained my standard LOL) So maybe I can work on my Social Studies? Aint paying much attention in class nowadays, thus must read up on myself more! (:

Geography
Semester 1 2009: B3
Target Met? YES, 17/25.
Who What Went Well Now?
I didnt really meet my goal, cos I was quite confident for this paper! :X I totally skipped question 2. Hehe, not bad not bad? :9 LMAO, I should have spent more time on the LORMS question, got only 5 marks for that. My conclusion was counted as useless. But I was lucky to score the first and third question, which answers are much longer than the fourth (LORMS). Ironic much. :P

Overall grades: A1, A1, A2, B3, B3, C6, D7, F9. (ROFL)
Should concentrate more on:
1. English summary skills.
2. History SBQ skills
3. SS SBQ skills.
4. Chemistry TYS. [?!]
5. Physics formula list.
(:

My 150th entry? Oh my, I only post at at rate of 50 posts /year eh. Haha.

Went for a joint flag today with the unit! :D Was assigned Group 1 with Si Hao, which consists of Elton Pua, Cynthia and Bertrand. We were also assigned to the area outside AMK Hub. Initially, it was super hard to get donations coming in especially in the early morning (till 9am perhaps?), as there was practically NO ONE and the shops werent even opened! Also, there are many "competitors" around, haha. Still, tried my very best to get donors! (X

Had a break for 30 mins and carried on. (Si Hao should know what happen, LOL?!) At 1pm, went to the tunnel just outside AMK MRT Station to gather. Returned tins, talked for a while and went to eat at KFC with some squadmates! Yay.

Seriously feel like doing more Flag Days! It may seemed time-wasting (cos its super dry especially in the early morning) but dont you feel the satisfaction when people donate from the bottom of their hearts? ^^

"The Attitude
When you think positive, you are most confident and charming! No one will be able to resist you…

•Have the correct mindset
Remember: you are here to help the needy. Do not lose heart even if people ignore your pleas.

•Truly believe you are doing GOOD!
The Saturday sacrificed WILL make a difference to the orphans, elderly and sick. Your conviction is contagious—people will want to donate!

•Be polite always.
Greet them ('Good day!'); and end with ('Thank you, enjoy your day!'). Courtesy does wonders to your image. "

Quoted from http://www.youth.sg/content/view/1377/66/

There was this particular discussion topic in Facebook, which I agreed to a large extent of those who replied. Here are some of them.

WHY DO YOU ATHESITS HATE THE BIBLE SO MUCH? (Author's spelling mistake!)

1. "I don't hate the Bible. I just don't read much fiction."

2. "I don't hate it. I do take objection to the flawed logic used when someone is making an argument for/against something based on the stance taken by the Bible.

For example, homosexuality is wrong because it states so in the Bible.

Then by that logic, eating pork, crabs and allowing females to be educated is also wrong.

The way I see it, if you believe the Bible is the word of God, then you can't pick and choose which bizzare arcane rules you're going to obey and which to ignore. If I was God, that would piss me off."

3. "I love the Bible. It's the most influential book in Western civilization. It's full of great legends, poems, and folk tales. Why would anyone assume that atheists hate it?"

Fancy posting in the midst of Common Test. Oops!

Had a chat with Chu Yi in the afternoon, and I was being... err, my usual self? But this time I find it exceptionally funny that I actually typed those. o_O

*# [c=0][b]0me9amaX[/b][/c] #* [i]in the trenches of World War I.[/i] says:

chu (floatyyyyyyyyy) says:
*I'm wearing a jersey and a baggy pair of berms.
*If your definition of pjs are long-sleeved shirts with pants, then nope.

*# [c=0][b]0me9amaX[/b][/c] #* [i]in the trenches of World War I.[/i] says:
*no, pyjamas are those that you slept with.

chu (floatyyyyyyyyy) says:
*Yeah.

*Vvvvv comfortable.

P.S. I've removed the irritating and addicting blogsong. :D

Hmm, the standard of computers in the school's computer lab is getting better. Although the monitor is still as fat, as least I can go blogger. It was previously cookies disabled. And the Internet's kind of... fast? Like Wireless @SG those kind of speed. Haha, got to go. (:

2009-07-29T00:33:00.002+08:00

Vincent is really random during midnight even though he has not done much of his homework. :P

Went to research on the subject combinations by various schools and found one which typically fits me! ACS Barker Road.

8 subjects:
English Language.
Chinese.
E Math.
A Math.
Pure Physics.
Pure Chemistry.
SS + Geog /Hist /Lit. (I will prefer the last two now)
DESIGN & TECHIES. [!!!] O.O

The last one was the killer.

P.S /Common Test is 5 days away. Double U Tee Eff. ;(

2009-07-27T22:47:00.005+08:00

Kaiyun, Gerald, Vincent, Andrea, Timothy, Mel and Shi Ming!
(Hua Jie and Gina went home early, :[ )

Happy Birthday Andrea! :D The locker full of Longmans had grown a gigabyte to 15GB now, dedicating more memory space to Longman. Yay?

Celebrated her birthday (and Shi Ming's belated) today at AMK Hub. We started off at the traffic light outside the school, where Gerald, Timothy and I passed her the "Treasure Map". It was rather (fill-in-the-blank) when we passed her the map, just look at her reaction! Retardedly weird and funny. Hehe. We left her with Jasmine (who went home later) and Shi Ming. (:

Proceeded to AMK Hub and met up with the others. Distributed roles amongst us to be... so-called station ICs. Haha, I was at TOP 20, and it was fortunate that there was a PC shop next to it! XD

The clues were supposed to be easy, if not she might take more than a decade! ;P Thus, they solved it at around 45 minutes, and we surprised them at the empty corridor at Level 4, somewhere near Cathay. (We didnt catch a movie ;( ) The boys looked through the mini capsules thingies when out of a blue, policemen started approaching us, getting our personal particulars?
Kind of weird, but who cares if they can ensure safety and security! ^^

Debated over where to go, I wanted NEBO initially, but THERE WAS NO ONE INSIDE which made myself sceptical over my own decision luh. Nevertheless, went to New York New York to have lunch! (Kaiyun: *rich* Why are we celebrating in a food center?!) <- this is fake lol! d:

Being typical school kids, we made super lot of noises in the... (Mel: *whispers* It's a restaurant after all, never mind!) Oh, in the meantime I was passing them the critic photo cards I've made. It created a string of laughters man! ;D Was glad I've made them, hehe.

After tirelessly decision-making, (Mel: Shi Ming only changed her order 4 times -.-) we talked about some random stuff... wait, in actual fact I dont remember, LOL. *fast-forward a lil*

Anyway, a sequence of events not to be sequenced:
- The dishes came super quickly! Good service. (:
- Kaiyun cracked a dumb blonde joke which many did not catch.
- Shi Ming with her kazillion unglam shots. LMAO.
- Andrea with her unique culinary etiquette.

Timothy: Where did all your bones go? (They share a plate of ribs.)
Andrea: Err... *thinks hard* Eh where did they go ah?

- Mel complains over the controversy of cups used by Gerald unknowingly.

- Mel the emochocogirl /TRIUMPHGIRL [?!] is on diet with only a fruits-looking soup and salad. (Mel: I'm not on a diet for goodness sake!)
- Kaiyun had the Freedom Fries (which was clearly an appetiser) and she claimed she was full. (My say: Its more like her snack.)
- Gerald, as usual, spammed mozella cheese after I asked for its presence. (Timothy: Now the food is worth your money.)
- Gerald asked for candy floss thrice. (Gerald: I think the person's pissed with us.)
- I made Gerald laugh so hard that water went into his windpipe. Sorry!
- Shi Ming and Andrea used dont-know-how-many pieces of tissue to clear the 'chilli island'. (Mel: *careless whispers LOL* Thats what the waiter and waitresses are for!)

Timothy: Andrea, her birthday, then she cleaned like a maid.
Me: She cleaned like herself luh.

- After we left, (Me: Yay, *hyper exclaims* they are finally leaving!)

Still, I think the funniest was when I started to call the cup of water Mel drinks to be her Mum.

*points to Mel's controversal cup* Me: MEL, THATS YOUR MUM.
Why do you have so many mums?
Shi Ming: Why is your mum shorter than you?

(Mel starts drinking from cup) Me: Mel, why are you drinking your Mum?
Mel: Well, she taste great. Umm, lemonade. *contented smile*

Timothy: So your dad marries a lot?
Mel: (turns to Tim) He doesnt only marry women. *gives bored look*

I guess she's mom-weary.

When Andrea said that she had pepper sauce and some weird dishes over the weekends...

Mel: YOU MURDERER! You murder the snail, pluck them from the ground and eat them.
(Mel's say over this: Its true! Dont eat anything other than poultry, beef, and fish.)

Mel was tagged the Bengawan Solo. Cos the cake is chocolate and Mel is emo = Emo chocogirl.

Kindly sensor yourself from the bottom right portion. d:

Lastly, ate the birthday cake and took many shots of auto-timer photos! Majority was not successful =(, with one showing Shi Ming's thigh! [?!] Haha. Departed our ways soon and I took 169 with Shi Ming, had a nice chat! Heehee! :]

End of the day. Wow.

2009-07-21T23:57:00.004+08:00

Tomorrow's another O Level Chinese paper. >_<> playing and sleeping in class. (Wait, I dont really sleep, I find it useless to travel all the way to school to sleep in class, but playing is not in anyway better too) It would be best if I could listen with full concentration. Possible? Yes, its all up to me.

Some people would write a thousand-page long of wishes to do, for example before the year starts (new year's resolutions) that they would do be their best in school /pay attention /score dont-know-how-many A1s crap, but do they REALLY DO IT? I made my point after reading so many stories of school life in blogs. But anyway, even for me it doesnt work out. So WISHING IS FOR FUN YOU KNOW. :D

Haha, procrastination are part of everyone! Who dont procrastinate? Nevertheless, I really hate people who evidently show their good time management. WTH luh. D:

Hope nothing will go wrong tomorrow. (: It is like my level of understanding is (enters for a hundred times) here? Listening comprehension hasnt been my best component.

(F)ull marks is awaiting me! LOL.

2009-07-13T19:47:00.003+08:00

"I need a little more help than a little bit,
Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet,
Cos every time that I try I get tongue tied,
I need a little good luck to get me by this time."

在为口试做准备时，想起了这首歌。我觉得这完全符合我现在的情况。
正读了资料后，信心剧增。

明天就是O水准考试了；祝我好运！哈哈。:D

I saw this advertisement while touring the Youth Olympics Games.

Certainly feel like going, but I dont wanna go alone too.
So yeah, posted it for fun. :D
Hahah.

[edited 2.21am]
Had a nice chat with Zhi Yan just now. ;D It made me miss 6 Peace {L} so much, all of a sudden. Primary school's life was so pure and carefree! :) There was not much of "I hate this person" kind of lifestyle and everyone got together easily. Playing of catching, 'ice and water', some chopsticks game were very much entertaining! (Although those games got revived recently, I dont know why ._.) Talking about lame games such as Habbo =.=, Maple (its a super hot topic), Battleon [!?!], Runescape etc during break times /even lesson times... Best of all, there is only 4 subjects to study, with no holiday homework and such. ^^ Dont even have to study for exams too! Sounds so so so attractive now huh? With the busy lifestyle, I didnt really catch up with my primary school friends *horror gasps*, but I would often see them in the heart of Yishun (duh). *wide smile*

I would want Teacher's Day to come soon! d;

2009-06-28T22:38:00.006+08:00

I feel so high now luh! OMG OMG.

(See that familar building?)

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/439055/1/.html - "Presbyterian High has become the first school to close all classes because one of its teachers had contracted the H1N1 virus." (quoted)
Adding on - It appeared on the 10pm News in Channel 8 and the 11pm News in Channel U. [!!!]

Firstly, I feel so 'honoured' to be in the school. LOL. There is nothing quite wrong with the school's closing down anyway. It received tremendous support from their pupils, so I bet reputation will rise. (:

Secondly, it was so mother-crazily funny when I was using the computer and heard the news saying our school's name. I was like, 'What?!' and glued my eyes at the television. They so hilariously featured 3D's and 2G's class blogs; most importantly, they featured our OM. ^_^ *laughs heartily*

Thirdly, I wish all the best to the teacher who contracted the disease. D: The school would not have closed if he /she didnt go back to school for a meeting. In any case, with Singapore's advanced medical healthcare, surely there isnt much problem for the school to be back to normal again. Yes, ;D

Anyway, the school is not alone. Say 'Hi' to Westwood Secondary.

In conclusion, I sincerely hope that everyone will stay vigilant in the time of crisis! As the nation continue to fight the disease with the ever-growing number of cases, hmm... I shall continue to do my homework then. ROFL.

2009-06-24T17:27:00.004+08:00

My Snapfish photo package had arrived. :D

Story: I signed up an account on Snapfish when I viewed the NDP website. They gave me 10 free prints (which was available to all users). A week later, I received an email stating that due to GSS, they gave me an additional of 10 free prints and free shipping. Delighted, I immediately ordered 9 photos. However, I did not notice that the free shipping only exist for once. Thus, to get the remaining 11 prints free, I will have to pay the shipping fee. How dumb can I get. >.<

The power of PICASA 'TREE'. Hoho. (:

2009-06-24T14:30:00.008+08:00

All these were written when mood to homework continue to be dampened. [?]

[Part One]
"Presbyterian High School will suspend its system of students moving from class to class depending on the subject it takes.

Instead, each class will have lessons in a designated classroom.

A spokeman (who?) said this will be done for the first week after school reopens, and the situation will be monitored after that."
(Straits Times, page A4)

[Part Two]
Kris Allen's No Boundaries owned (for this week)! :D

YEAH!
But why is his face not featured... >_<

[Part Three]
I support all kinds of stationeries man, especially those of the new generation. This made me an avid fan of Popular Bookstore? ~~Absolutely weird?~~ Nevertheless, I deprived abundant joy by window-shopping at any bookstore and this might be the reason for the excess stationeries at home.

I cannot stand doing homework on different brands of foolscap (?). As I began my history corrections on Durable taken from others, I bought a pad of Durable and continued my work. This uncannily trait of mines had caused me to have various brands of foolscap at home: Popular, AZone, Durable, Presbyterian High and Deyi Secondary (?!).

What about other paper-related products?
01: Hmm I have Falcon drawing block. I decided it shall be counted in.
02: A-Zone notebook.
03: Outward Bound Singapore notebook.
04: MANY MANY MORE UNUSED NOTEBOOKS -.-
05: ESSP Graph paper.
06: Besform ruled cards.
07: Anderson Secondary chinese composition book?! (Corporate product!)
08: U-Grade chinese language foolscap.
09: Popular Binding Set. {L} (not available in Singapore, unfortunately)

DANG, THIS IS SUPER RANDOM.

Bye.

Courtesy of Joey Leau. Haha.
Productive Tuesday?
The answer is obvious.

Woke up early this morning by Dad at 7am. Wanted to go back to sleep but cant, as he kept blabbering on, "You want to go to school yet?!" He dont know its holidays until my Mum told him that. Haha, I remembered him waking me up every morning for the first week, LOL. (: Anyway, was totally slacking the morning (cos I dont want to go early and be the first) before moving off, finally.

Reached school at 8.45am and theres only 8 people in the class. 3 came soon after. As usual, tested for the oh-so-mighty oral. Improved, but still as Rao-sy. ROFL. d:

Borrowed a guidebook from the guy above XD and did stuff in the canteen. (I think Jian Qiang can open an assessment library) It was indeed a boring morning. Played 3 games of Foosball with Amadea, Eunice and Jia Hui. It was the only fun thing I did then.
Lolzxzx. (Twitter!)

[edited 24062009]
Oh, I went to Yishun Library. Borrowed some not many books on Hitler, Nazi, Communism and Jews. They seemed interesting to the interesting me. (:

Back home, and the so-not-productive day continues.

Anyway, wanted to do homework during the weekends initally, but...
I got addicted to American Idol, like wth?

In any case, I downloaded a lot of their songs, eg. Season 8! and they are simply fantastic... (:

P.S. Why are everyone so addicted over Boys Over Flowers? My sis borrowed the DVD and it had been their scenes since then ._.

Discover the small, funny moments of online surfing.

Example 1: Who sang the song, No Boundaries, better? Adam Lambert or Kris Allen?
comments on Youtube shown that people actually care. [?!]

"listen, adam's version of this song is WAAAAY better because this was his life!! because he had to hide his secret {that he is gay} and run from it. but now that he ALMOST won he can sing this song easier without thinking of that. but i will always love adam lambert. kris allens version of this song is fake!! , it sounds like he doesn't even wanna sing it."

"ok,listen people i CAN NOT STAND KRIS ALLEN ok wanna know why, well I will tell you. 1 reason is......... PEOPLE WHERE JUDGING ADAM ON HIS PERSONAL LIFE AND THEY LET THAT WEIRD LOOKING THING NAMED "KRIS" WIN
2nd reason is...................... ADAM IS HOT I DON'T CARE IF HE IS GAY OR NOT HE IS HOT!! BUT KRIS NOT. HE LOOKS LIKE A SEA MONKEY BECAUSE HIS EARS, AND NOSE LOOK LIKE MONKEY EARS AND NOSES, AND HIS LIPS LOOK LIKE FISH LIPS.!!"

Frustrated over the quarrels between fans of both sides?

"Have u measure ur house's dimension? It's all exactly as stated in the house plan drawing? Or have u measure ur shoe? Do u knw what's called tolerance? Mayb the Burger's tolerance is +/-2 inch? Who knows? U nv ask what...lol."

Singaporeans are just sarcastic. Hehe.
"i hope you dont bring the ruler to bed. you might get disappointed."

Busy week? ._.

Monday & Tuesday;
LEADERSHIP MENTORING AND SKILLS COURSE!
The first day was pretty boring, as a lot of time was spent on lectures and I dont really like their role-plays and interactive stuff. ;( The second day was slightly better, as we were in our PT kit, and also, we played many many team bonding games!

Wednesday;
Volleyball-ing with Joey Chan, Kenneth, Javier, Timothy and Chu Yi! ;D
It was quite fun, but I was rather letargic? d: I want to improve my volleyball skills! (: Heehee.

Thursday & Friday;
Drills Competition Training!
Just like any normal drill training. Did some quick planning on fancy drills, (it was hard doh) and chose a song.

Sunday;
Fancy Drills Planning with Shu Yuan, Joey Leau, Jia Jun and Jason sir!
Now we understand the difficulty of planning formations... D: Still it was fun, hoho. ^^ I hope that our fancy drills will be successful!

Week 2, June Holidays '09.

2009-05-31T23:47:00.003+08:00

Being a model student (:, I followed Mrs Lim's instructions and went to Singapore Philatelic Museum this afternoon. My aunt was interested as well, and together with my mum, we went there and had a short 45 mins there, as time was relatively tight. The museum was quite small anyway; I took pictures of almost everything so I could remind myself after I get home. Then, we proceed to the National Museum of Singapore, as it was nearby, where we again spent 45 minutes there, viewing almost all the artefacts again (I went there 2 years back and most of them are still the same -_-)

Not going to post any photos here, in case they get stolen by some unworthy ones who are attempting the same worksheet... Hahaha... dX

As stated in a previous post, I had got a new hobby of watching edutainment shows. (: Channels like History, Animal Planet, Discovery and National Geographic. Now gotta share one which I found interesting; and relatively close to my life. LOL.

Shootout!: Battle of the Bulge
7pm, History Channel [Starhub Channel 9]

It was Hitler’s boldest move…and the Allies most shocking surprise. It’s winter hell on Earth. Up close and brutal. As far as Shootouts go, this one’s the biggest and bloodiest the U.S. ever fought. The Axis of Evil creates an 85-mile “bulge” along the Western front that extends from the North Sea down to Switzerland. Hitler’s mission: drive a wedge between the Allied armies in the north and south. Retake the seaport city of Antwerp. Claim victory.

The Americans not only fight Germans but the weather: minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit - the coldest winter on record in Europe. In some places, the snow is knee deep. In other spots, snow cover is sparse but the wind chill is severe. Foxholes become frozen tombs. Frostbite takes 15,000 men off the line.

After six weeks of hellish combat, the Battle of the Bulge pulverizes Hitler’s forces on the Western Front – and aids the Allies in winning the war.

; http://www.historyasia.com/synopsis.aspx?libId=75

In short: A stupid move by Hitler which aided Allies in victory. Yay to Hitler for the move. ;]

Found this in Wikipedia,
"The History Channel received the nickname 'the Hitler's Channel'."

Haha! (But its quite untrue though :P )

2009-05-30T11:54:00.002+08:00

The holidays had arrived! :) Wait, are they considered holidays in the first place? The large amount of homework and the many days I've to return back to school for various reasons. D: Sigh, but at least there will be still some days (mainly weekends) that will be totally dedicated to slacking. Haha.

Yesterday was the last day of school for Term 2, and it was great! :D Enjoyed myself, as there is shooting training YAY (but horrendous results?), VOLLEYBALLING! XD and the return of report books. -.- Oh, met Mr Tan too, for the project discussion. It was quite unsuccessful though, and we had to come up with more solutions. ;(

Anyway, my results was sucky. I failed to maintain 70% by 2.2%. Argh. But still, I was satisfied [?] to have no Cs /had consistency in the scores. Except Chemistry and Combined Humanities, which was, umm.

Blah. Today will be mainly on... (fill-in-the-blank)

2009-05-18T21:35:00.002+08:00

Usually, going to school after exams are useless. Everyone just slacked in the hall /classrooms and every other part of the school (except the Sec 4/5s, duh), making the whole place boring.

But finally, today was a good day. It was ArT fLaIr. (Wow, wow!) Initially, I came to school with the intention to waste time. Nobody would have thought our magnificent school could plan something great. However, the module I joined, wire sculpture, was kewl! ;D There were many other ~~lame~~ modules around but this is one of those which interested me.

At first, we gathered in the classroom and our instructor was Mr Ang. He's quite old but he isnt bored, at all. ;D He is very nice and helpful. (: Whenever we faced any difficulty in doing our sculpture, you can ask him and he is ready to help! Heehee. So it was rather fun and I /we had a fun time twisting those wires. ^^

Proceeded to the hall soon for a talk on people who are mentally challenged. (Sodium?) Instead, I was busy snapping unglam photos. Hahahah!

Term 2 is ending. Time for intense revision...

2009-05-12T23:13:00.003+08:00

Mid-year exams are over, not much comments about it yet ;) Haha. As you see,
Unless you're out of the education system, exams never end. Merely taking a break.

So, yea. ;D Keke.
Just watched 特写, a very good show on Channel 8.

It was about a guy who knows how to play 12 musical instruments. (Got Grade 8 for Piano?!)
He knows many languages and can write 6 of them. (!!!)
Got 1st in class yearly in primary school.
3 A* for PSLE.
10 A1s and 1 A2 for O' Levels. (wth?)
4 As and distinctions for S papers for A' levels. (wtf?)
A two-timer for the MOE Music Scholarship.
Conductor for RJC-CO.

And now, he got a scholarship to some great places. (Not caring after all the effing achievements - Too demoralising)

In conclusion, a guy with super efficient time management skills.
> Used the time driving to learn languages via CD roms!
Not exactly a genius (although he IS), but surely someone with a thirst for knowledge and USEFUL past-times.
> Like inventing languages, doing computer-programming (inventing internet games), composing songs etc (What is blogging? Useful? People reads and thats it?!)

It is both demoralising yet motivating.
Demoralising - He indeed contributed to the society by not being a slacker.
Motivating - I must work harder. (hopefully so) New past-time? Watching shows in the Discovery channels. (except travel and living, doh)

2009-05-08T00:59:00.002+08:00

When everything seemed to be in a mess, Vincent was writing a sentence.
(Imagine the people reading it, how boring can they be)
Time was running out, but he doesnt seem to care. (Logs? A geographic term?)
With little confidence for Amath, Vincent has no choice. (Choices are for people to make)
He had to take that paper. (Why?)

...
He paid for the printing costs ok. D:
1 bundle - 1000 A4 sized blank papers.
Each page of printing - $0.05.

There are x pages in the Amath paper.
$0.05x is the amount of money Vincent had paid.

Boohoo, ;(

2009-04-23T20:21:00.003+08:00

Exams, exams and exams. I wonder where I got my drive to study for them in lower secondary days. Maybe of the competitiveness in 2E'08 {L}? Haha. But I cant feel it now!!! D:

Hopefully, everything will be History soon.
Obviously self-centered (put yourself in the middle of a classroom), wanted order in everything as evident from the fact that she cannot teach if the tables and chairs are arranged messily. Do not think for others, want things her way and always claimed that she has no recess (who cares about that, slim down pls, I can survive without eating during recess). Bought microphones but did not put into good use. Sigh, a big picture for you at the general office? HOD? Head in size perhaps. Inflexible, I love the view outside the classroom it is always flooded with the usual ~~people~~ boys. A conducive environment indeed, class is so quiet! It must be so conducive I bet there are always people sleeping soundly. Stalin; Hitler, your favourite topic? Of course, considering your characteristics.

Math homework is never finishing. Although I'm beginning to understand the actually-not-so-complicated-if-you-read-enough concepts, he seem to teaching people on how to do push-ups because he will suddenly talk on math and talk on the latter, which is so stupid. Just teach ok! It made me unable to focus well.

English is cool, I'm beginning to understand. But can he make his stand? His words are contradicting and I already had a hard time trying to decipher what he tried to say. Speaks fast and unclear lol. My mum thought they are supposed to be proficient in English? Not the type for Singaporeans in the case.

Chinese may be a subject I'm ignoring, thus the homework is piling up. Tomorrow's the due date for ALL of the work but seriously, not much people would do it (I've asked around). Sian. I hope to change class so as to minimise my workload but I do not want to change class as he is a good teacher.

Unhelpful classmates and friends, pushing their responsibility away from group work, proposals and simple things like spreading messages. Asked for help in notes, assignments and stuff? "You would not have to ask me if you have listened in class." Aiyo, I never pay attention in class, so bad to the teachers! (Fine, if you dont want to tell me, just say, I'm ok with it) Sometimes I dont know why people look to me as someone WHO WOULD READILY DO THINGS FOR THEM WITHOUT ASKING FOR ANY CREDIT. Why cant they have this kind of attitude too? Nowander there are 43 people in my class: 42 people + 1 loner aka me.

In conclusion, VINCENT SLACKS AND LAZES AROUND ALMOST EVERYDAY. Pushing everything to 'tomorrow' and hoping that it will be over after a good sleep is a wrong mindset! Slap you vincent.

No emotions for you today.

2009-04-21T23:46:00.006+08:00

Start the week right. (Wow, I've just completed the effing FPS)

20 April 2009
I went home like damn early k, at 3pm but I slept all the way till 9pm! Sian, especially when I had my math homework overdued for weeks.

Noticed some stuff too. Firstly, Mrs Lua cannot pronounce chinese names, calling Yu Jian: Yi Jun. LOL. And having Mr Toh (I'm calling him too nicely already) as our chemistry practical teacher was really very funny. His pissed off but also not very pissed off face is very... comical. Lol, weird observation perhaps? ;D

Oh oh oh, I met Liquan again (at MRT station this time) ! Haha.

21 April 2009 - Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day!
Coolio for someone whom is as cheapstake as me (Gerald didnt went though due to POP)
Although I felt quite guilty not to go POP due to the stupid competition which landed me only a Certificate of Commendation -.-, I was feeling... kinda mixed. In the end, when I finally board the train, I concluded that there seemed no point for me to go anyway.

Yea, went to Raffles City with Melissas CHUA and FOO, Bryan, Jia Wei and Hua Jie. We queued twice and I gotten myself a vanilla and chocolate fudge brownie. The former was plain but the latter rocks! Haha. However, I was dismayed that they actually store their ice creams in CARDBOARDS and the advertisement on the cone is too sticky that it cant be removed as easily as a regular Mcdonalds cone. Zzz.

Nevertheless it was a great, pioneer experience. (:

22 April 2009 - Earth Day! (Unofficial, however)
[Wikipedia, oops hehe] Earth Day, celebrated April 22, is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment.

Indeed, Earth Day, so philosophical (I hope to play a part leh) but two tests are imminently approaching! Insanity. Eh, Chemistry and Geography class tests ONLY (just kidding, whoops). --> Time for some brain explosion.

Till then (I seemed to be copying someone but I cannot resemble anyone yet! LOL)

P.S. Hua Jie claimed to won everyone by an edge as he shook hands with the ~~Principal~~. Eww, I rather shake hands with an SBS driver. *shudders*

2009-04-13T21:41:00.003+08:00

Timothy's Birthday, (:
April 13.

Pardon Hua Jie's act-cuteness. Wahah.
Elementz /NPAP for the next few days. Sian.

P.S. Thanks Jian Qiang for the GREEN SCREAM CITY NOTEBOOK. Heehee! ;D

2009-04-10T20:45:00.003+08:00

To many, my class's subject combination is the so-called perfect one.
But to me, the perfect combination is...

English Language
Mother Tongue
Mathematics
Additional Mathematics
Physics
Combined Science (Chemistry + Biology)
Combined Humanities (Social Studies + Literature Elective)
Geography
Design & Technology

Total subjects: 9 (WTF?)

Ah, will any school offer such weird combinations. ROFL. ;D

2009-04-09T23:38:00.005+08:00

6 April 2009 -> Like who will forget this date, obviously, especially when its Vincent's birthday!

Despite the heavy workload, Vincent perservered and came to school on that day. It may be as it was his birthday. Ok, nothing great about that, but certainly he hoped it will be fun.

As he went through all the lessons, it was indeed a mental torture. It was especially so for incomprehensible subjects like Math and Chinese. Math is a subject he is losing interest in, after so many years of hard work that got him a 'Best in Mathematics' when hes in primary school. However, he hoped to catch up. (:

Time waits for no man (thats good?), and there was supposedly a fun TD sesson after school. However, a while after school, he received two birthday cakes smacked to his face. Apparently exciting but being the physically tired out Vincent, he just submits it. Hahah.

Sang birthday songs (XD) etc, there was a lovely TD session where he and his squadmates learnt two new patterns, which was cool but physically challenging to Vincent whom seemed to have bad coordination. After training, the squad had a mini thrashing session (a bigger one is coming soon! ;D) where people just started shooting each other. However, Vincent hoped he have the courage to just shoot straight into people's faces. ;( But he doesnt care, as he doesnt think they will change (its very hard to change - nearly impossible).

The session was kinda long and it went all the way to 7pm! Originally, he and his friends planned to go out to celebrate his birthday. But, as night approaches, he got worried and started calling his friends frantically. Fortunately, they stayed on! Namely Andrea, Xue Er, Hua Jie, Shi Ming, Joey, [Timothy and Gerald!] (The last two are in the same CCA as him)! Vincent sincerely thanked them for waiting.

Soon, they found themselves taking a train to Ang Mo Kio. They are going to have dinner at Pepper Lunch (ironic?). ;D Vincent ordered a teriyaki chicken combo set for himself and was quite pissed off by the large amount of air pollution /smoke /aroma (if you call it). Others seemed irritated by it as well. Haha, so maybe it was really bad. :X After the meal, they had a chat on like the most random topic. Heehee. FYI, all of them are from 2E'08! {L}

Vincent think its really sweet of them to get him a green pencil box! Totally awesome. ^^ Although he disliked the material (he would prefer cushiony materials), basically EVERYTHING THAT IS IN GREEN are perfect in his eyes. So... yep! Vincent is happy.

The green pencil box I'm talking about! [X (Geography group work as background)

Also, he received many other presents.

For example, a very innovative idea of writing birthday wishes on bananas! Its still lying in his house by the way.

Some of the signatures on the bunch of bananas. Vincent wondered what to do with it!

A 2X2 rubiks cube handphone strap given by Joey Chan! :) (Physics textbook as background?)

In case you cant see it, its a big packet of (branded) iced gems given by his sister!

Not forgetting a birthday cake from his family.

The candle's burning. (Sounds damn unexciting sia)

A box of coolio Merci chocolates from Juliana! :D

He must not forget the monetary rewards from his family members as well!
$20 - Dad!
$20 - Mum!
$20 - Elder Bro!
$20 - First Sis!
$15 - Second Sis!

Thus, Vincent was very happy for that. Hahaha. ;P
Hope for better days ahead and people with selflessness. Thats about my wish? Oops.

2009-04-03T00:24:00.005+08:00

Friday's parade was the pioneer one that my batch took. It was not bad. (: At least for me, being a first aider, was quite interesting. Especially when I walked around, I could witnessed the people doing their activities. Great? ;D

But I must admit some people are biased. Its like they have a real bad image about me - Partially due to the december camp incident when we spreaded jokes internally within our squad. However, dumb Xin Ci tagged in apparently senior's blog, thinking that the joke is real funny and WORSE, with my name. -.- Somemore I'm not even the one who think of the joke, ok. Wow. Nowander people are starting to avoid her. Duh, of course lah.

It seemed that after this incident, people are trying to find ways to scold me indirectly. But then act as if its a scolding for everyone. >.< Just scold me personally, its ok. (: They asked if we had included members for our department work. As there is nothing yet to ask my members to do (I could handle the chores myself), I said I havent. Then, they asked questions until they find a fault, which obviously there was (there will always be mistakes somehow, quotes Timothy) as I didnt ask permission before buying the first aid items. Isnt it something common sense? Its like my pen ran out of ink I went to buy one. I dont have to ask my mum or dad to buy one right. Heidi ma'am asked me to get those items as soon as possible (I'm not blaming her), so I went to get it the next day. Hmm, its just my fault, I'm sorry. Joey also bought batteries without asking but didnt get scolded (Sorry Joey, just wanna cite an example). Same thing happened to Xin Ci and Ming Quan I suppose. They dont have good impressions as well. I think those without squads are those with bad impressions... sigh. Likewise, when Nicholas said that he havent ask the members for help, they nodded. Zzz.

Maybe I'm not good at words. Or I didnt think before I talk. ;( Take the interview that night for example. I was speechless, downright nothing to say (but I had to say something so as to RESPOND). I crapped. Nine point nine out of ten times I just crapped. It wasnt something I wanted to say, really. Now, looking back, I had much to comment. It always happen. D:

In the past, I would feel fine /occasionally joyeous going for NPCC. It was really a great CCA and I enjoyed myself those times, drinking bubble tea after parades. But now, it become a torment. I would think of it almost all the time, for no reason. I even lose the momentum to (ask to) help my squadmates.

Shit shit I'm becoming more like Jeffrey sir. Oops, no I didnt mean becoming him is bad. Its just that I shant digress so much into NPCC. I dont want to keep my mind floating on that topic. I also dont want to complain (do I look like I'm doing that? I dont know for sure...). Thus I shall focus on focal point then. Throw the topic off my mind first and concentrate on free-fall. ;D

And sometimes, I really hate some of my squadmates.

2009-03-28T20:16:00.003+08:00

Canada's environmental campaign. Cool aint it. (L)
Observing Earth Hour now! It seems so cool. LOL, the living room + bedrooms are pitch dark but the television is still on! Not forgetting the computer LOL, duh! (: They are shining very brightly, like straight into my eyes. Saving electricity is one point but may my eyesight worsens? Ouch then its not really worth it.

Went out with Xue Er in the afternoon to apparently study! Did some work (like of course) - some math and physics questions, but chatted more! :D She complained to me about some irritating people, and we chatted on many other super-random topics that can just pop out... from an ez-link card for example. LMAO. [x

Soon, her student-care friends came and they were folding stars for someone's birthday, which of course I dont know. Lol. Learnt how to fold stars! Yay, isnt that great. (:

Folded some stars successfully and went off, as was feeling letargic. Bought a chicken wing from Old Chang Kee before reaching home and was damn pissed off by a man with W-I-D-E surface area that kept moving, constantly blocking my view from the food (as I choose what to buy). Also, when his orders werent readily yet (he ordered a box! WTF), he was angry and asked when it will be ready. He bought sotong balls while waiting as well. Like, can you stop eating so much and contribute to human pollution? Save some food, man! D:<

Oh yea, spreaded the word of 'Earth Hour' by sticking written masking tape on my bag. It worked! A woman while on the lift nudged on my back, "Oh, we'll be having Earth Hour today? What time?" ... "The whole Singapore would be in darkness?" Heehee. !D

Back home now, email-ed some stuff, revised Reflection and Uniform Etiquette. Wow. Sounds so constructive but not. ;( The worst part is to suffer from a bad cough, since Friday. It started during Wednesday's NPDP, when the CIs wanted a loud reply. I replied so loudly that SOME PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME were thinking I'm crazy. Please, never shout dont talk can. >.< I hate this problem in my squad when people are not shouting, but complain like all the time. -.= Anyway, it was a sore throat at first, but soon it turned into a cough after constant loud replies/timings on Friday's NPDP. Haiz, had been coughing like the whole day. Sian...

Oh yea, after Friday's NPDP, I met Suhail sir! Haha, hes in Anderson Junior College now. Time passes just so fast! D: By the way, he was once a First Aid IC, so that gave us a chat topic. He said many things about it and I think its really something I wanna do. (: Hope so, heehee. d:

That should be all? ^^

P.S. Homework is still not dead yet! *shoots a few more bullets*

2009-03-26T23:03:00.004+08:00

Die homework die!

School is getting more ridiculous day by day. Homework are piling up like crazy and a weekend is perfectly great for me. (: Although time isnt spent wisely still. I think I had started to get used to this insane life of sleeping at 6-8 plus and waking up in the wee hours of 2-4 plus doing homework which apparently landed me with another piling set of corrections as concentration wasnt there = homework done sloppishly. >.< HOWEVER...
Life was still as great in school (excludes the horrible lessons /incomprehensible teachings... take English class as an example) when vital time was spent with friends. ;D Like todays not-so-constructive Math 'discussion' with Xue Er. I call it a discussion because more appropriate, had more of a chat. BUT I LEARN SOMETHING OK, SO THE TIME WASNT REALLY WASTED! xD Say yay.

Didnt update towards the end of March holidays. Sorry for that. Anyway, NCO Camp was fun[?], enriching[!] and 'enlightening' (sounds so MTA). Learnt many fresh stuff but was super tired /mind drifting away now and then due to something that cropped up at home.

Another part was feeling uber stressed up due to some reasons. And I agree with their decisions (and decisions on my part) that I was given a department which many thinks 'its for lousy people'. I still remembered how I wanted to join this department when I'm Sec 1. Its ok what. It just seemed slack but aint some others slacky as well? LOL. Who cares, since they gave me a 'slack' department I cant do anything much to make it look busy... anyway people got real busy with their black-and-whites, checklists etc. Somemore they have level statements to report, which being the damn-not-efficient me wasnt given.

Hopefully I wasnt given such stress as I will sure cant handle it due to my weird schedule! I already had a hard time finishing the work being an assistant... haha.

I must say I dont complain, at least. (Yes, Xin Ci? ^^) I remembered how Shu Yuan cringed about this kind of life when hes ONLY Sec 2. At that time we dont even have departments /unit to take over but already very stressed /fed-up. So I shouldnt have this thought, which I obviously will never have. (Think of Qiang Yu and everythings fine)

Not sure if I should help them because people are getting weirder. Praise them say I sarcastic, want to help them say I act kind... and whatever stuff people are capable of thinking (people includes me XD) So I should just sit back, relax and focus on studies? Yes thats what I'm going to do. To prevent future homework delays = this piece of math homework since end of OBS. Like WTH!

Gotta read up on Authoritarian Regimes. History is friendly.
(Xue Er, you may understand this part)
Good luck to me and fate.

2009-03-17T15:31:00.005+08:00

*sweeps off some dust*
Harrr... CHOO!

Hmm didnt know that my blog can be so dead. Oops, havent been updating for long, almost a month! OMG that probably explains how busy I am yeah? XD

Went for Outward Bound School from 2 to 6 March. It was quite fun. Experienced many new activities, like jetty jump, rafting, belaying and sea expedition! Never ever trekked so much in my life. Thus OBS is like a brand new experience for me, had field cooking for almost every meal, and I liked it that way! Especially when we see the other group suffers in the hand of Food IC Fazli! ROFL (: However must thank him for being a fabulous kayaking partner! Although I was sick he took care of me pretty well! Thanks Fazli! :D

TENZING! ™
Florence, Joel, Gerald, Nicholas Tan, Ming Quan, Jia Jun, Diane, Cheryl, Jean, Secrene, Fairuz, Zakir, Jeremy, Min Min, Xing Liang and Me! Plus instructor Hyzue!

Thus missed a week of school, cant catch up in both mathematics subjects. ;( Must work harder this holidays! *writes down to-do list* It seems that there is a huge pile of homework! Oh gosh.

Wow, look at the list of homework! So exciting isnt it! -.= But I dont really care about homework yet. Was more of slack, as I went to Malaysia on 15 and 16 March! It was a nice trip, and I bought school shoes, slippers and a lot of food! Haha. Shopped City Square and another one called Jusco. Hope to go to other shopping centers next time. ^^

1 more day to Land Division Visit.
2 more days to NCO Training Camp.
5 more days to Poppy fair! xD

2009-02-21T17:50:00.005+08:00

Some pictures taken long ago with my crappinated phone.

This is the sushi conveyor belt(obviously).
Went to Ichiban Sushi at Jurong Point to celebrate my sister's birthday, and before the dishes come, I was busy doing homework! LOL, cos by the time I reach home it'll be 10pm plus, too late for anything else. Also did some homework while on the train home too(sounds desperate?).

Bought this One Piece keychain for a few bucks at Comics Connections. Bleh, I actually wanted that naruto keychain, but due to limited cash span, bought this instead as it is nicer. So no more Bleach... or Naruto for Hua Jie's case LOL.

On the way home, saw a banner, which was apparently made in a rush.
>.< right.

Been much of a over-addict of Popular bookstore? LOL. Nope, just some pens and highlighters which my sister brought home. Anyway, stationeries are kewl. That might explain my frequent visits to Popular, eheh.

2009-02-19T22:43:00.002+08:00

I told my mum about how people's handwriting can become so small when factsheets are around. Then, I showed her mines.

"What is this?! Strain on your eyesight!"

Mines is actually normal can, look at some other people. Theirs are like, super desperate luh! Haha, but who really cares during times in need, when students dont have sufficient time to study and such, we're also very busy sometimes k. But apparently I've finally finished writing my factsheet which is of course, full of facts, 100% textbook-ed. I dont understand why we cant just bring the textbook in. Isnt it the same thing - I copied EVERYTHING into the small piece of 60gsm budget paper!

Tomorrows Social Studies Common Test. I'm beginning to have more faith in myself I hope, as more and more tests go by, I think that actually my standard, is not that bad afterall! ROFL, ok, but still can be improved. I must maintain my standard as written in my resolutions! Heehee. Although everythings in the factsheet, must still read up (: Shall go and do more research.

2009-02-12T20:15:00.004+08:00

AHHH, another week is going to be gone soon!

Time is like walking so quickly that I cant seem to catch up! Although in academical knowledge, yes, I understand what the teacher is saying, but in finishing up homework, NO! A big big NO. I dont know why I have a lot of suppose-to-hand-in worksheets/workbooks [Given factor] in my bag that I'm supposed to hand in dont-know a few decades ago but its still stuck in my bag/locker/file.

Therefore, to finish up the homework, I think that weekends are great, I can dedicate full days to them! [Explanation] HOWEVER, as I've thought that there are so much time for me, spent practically the whole Saturday playing and sleeping and slacking (Ok at least I washed dishes, vacuumed the floor) [Examples] BUT none of such activities is linked to homework. [Link back to question] When reflecting on Saturday while sleeping, I realise that I have not started on any dumb homework that Sunday are surely dedicated to them partially that my sister is using the computer to complete projects which are more important. ;P

LOL please pardon me for writing those PEEL stuff as I'm wholely addicted to Social Studies. OMG I've completely absorbed chapter 2 I hope, purely cos my notes is like 70% not in the textbook as I've visited countless Wikipedia pages and other sources to complete the notes. Although PEEL is also related to History but I so hate history(memorising sucks - i'm not Jian Qiang) as I wanted to take Literature elective so much deh.

And Logarithms! At first was thinking its so hard, but after completely absorption(a new way of studying I had devised) I think its quite fun(not because of hypnotism by Pei Ling k!). Paying more attention in class despite being disturbed by Kennedy's 'songs'. ROFL!

English class is freaking me off seriously. I dont know what Mr White is talking about that I have to ask Xue Er all the time for homework(Thanks Xue Er! XD). Anyway, he used a new way for report writing which I'm clueless about. But I've remembered it already, for the sake of RESULTS which is super important in Singapore. -.= Anyway, nouns/adjectives/adverbs/verbs are making me pissed. I thought I've understand them in Secondary 1, but after having a vocabulary test, I'm super pissed by how people can invent them. That is P3-ish and I'm Sec 3?!

Thanks for reading the rubbish I've written. :D
Check out for a proper post soon. Hehe.

Restless. How I'd feel almost everyday after school. Oh yes, and during weekends as well. And the irregular sleeping times I've had since school reopens. Or is it started before that - whatever, I still slept irregularly right. Like check the time I've posting this now. Haiz, making an effort to update YOU KNOW? LOL haha, not like Chu Yi who bothered to update her blog despite being busy.

And theres Geography class test tomorrow. What the heaven. And I havent even revised - at least I paid attention in class which means I will not need to revise much. But even if revision its not enough, what if I write too slowly and no time left? Like what happened to History class test which though I rushed throughout theres still no time. Haha, but I didnt really care as there is almost no one who completed it. ROFL, d:

Ouch, sure I took a long time to type this post as well, WHEN I HAVENT FINISH MY HOMEWORK. Ok i'm referring to some homework list Xu Ting complied in her post, so theres still a long way to go! No sleep for tonight then. D:

Happy Chinese New Year, people! Its only 3 weeks since the start of school, and my table is already quite messy. D: Hence usually this period of time we'll have area cleaning. But after cleaning, its still bad. So how? Aiyah, we must keep our house full of stuff right? So my table is full of 'stuff' ok! LOL. ^^

Hmm, I'm in Sec 3 now! Time just passes so quickly. (: Anticipate a number of changes this year ok! "Anticipate Change and Stay Relevant." Hahaha. Not coping quite well yet, still feeling restless. Hope to overcome this feeling soon though.

I'll remember my New Year resolutions.

2009-01-18T22:52:00.002+08:00

Went to the new Sembawang Shopping Center today. As it was relatively near to my home, my family and I had a brisk walk there.

Goshhh, it is kinda brand new with many many new shops. There is now Daiso, Popular, Kopitiam, Subway and New York New York! Although it is not strategically located, it boosted a number of shutter bus services from Yishun, Khatib, Sembawang and Woodlands MRT stations. (No SSC didnt pay me for advertising for them, keke)

Yea, went to shopped around and bought an OP shirt for Chinese New Year. Cheers! x)

Anyway, the main thing today was when I was typing out the chinese composition, I stumped upon this short post which made me a little... sad for Singaporeans like me. D:

"The top scholar for this year 'N' Levels examinations is Ao Chengkai, a Chinese national student from Yio Chu Kang secondary school, who came to Singapore only two years ago.

When he first came to Singapore two years ago, Ao Chengkai's command of English was far from average. It was due to his sheer hard work that he managed to ace both his English as well as this year's 'N' levels examinations.

Whle it is no longer surprising to find a non-Singaporean acing our national examinations, I find it really amazing how the hunger to succeed can drive Ao ChengKai to score an ace in English though being slightly disadvantaged as compared with his Singaporean counterparts who have been schooled in English since a young tender age.

A number of Singaporean students, who came to contact with English and use the langugae since young could not be able to score an ace, but Ao Chengkai with just two years, was able to master the language to a high level.

This feat must be attributed to the hunger for success. The more hungry is the person for success, he would succeed and at a higher level of accomplishment!"

Although Singaporeans longed have an all-rounded education, its students from overseas taking the crown. As you see, Ao Chengkai only studied two years in Singapore to own the N Levels. Singaporeans had taken things for granted, seriously. Even the O Level top scholar is from Malaysia, plus a few Chinese nationals from Catholic High. Sigh, I'm feeling a little remorseful for myself... So I should go and study now!

GEEK-ED OFF.

2009-01-15T22:27:00.002+08:00

Crowds of people swifted past me. The sound of tapping court shoes and high heels pissed me off. Everyone were apparently rushing for work.

As I settle myself down in a lonely stone bench. My sleepiness overwhelmed me and I began staring at the sky blankly, as I witnessed the change from a heavy shade of blue to pure white. I shook my head hard, and started to do bits of my heavily piled-up homework - a few pages. Time was passing as slowly as a snail.

I was late, again?

Pak-teh-tic.

2009-01-12T20:52:00.002+08:00

Last year, I was shopping around a ulu bookstore(forgot the exact place). As my hobby was looking at stationeries(ROFL), I have the urge to buy stationeries whenever I visit bookstores - I know it sound weird LOL.

Was thinking of what to buy, when I thought of the then-assessment books! I need a magazine holder or something to hold the books up. Had a look at those holders, and was greeted with a bunch of cheena brands. Wow. >.< But who cares, a cheap book holder will do. Went to buy this super cheap book holder and its a year since. It wasnt till I start clearing my books then I knew the brand of the book holder.

2009-01-12T20:31:00.003+08:00

There was a 3 minute alternative ending for The Little Nyonya, which was already very spastic in the first place so I've decided not to watch it, yep. (:

'SPASTIC? How can you scold little nyonya spastic?!'
This drama shows the rich Peranakan culture, which I kinda liked it. BUT it is presented in a SUPER wrong way. Old Yueniang tells the story, but how would she knows whats happening to her mother Juxiang? How can Juxiang give birth ON HER OWN? Then everyone just give birth themselves luh, tell hospitals to go home. XD

How can Tianlan die just by falling from the second floor, and by a simple push. Worse still, Juxiang can respond to many people despite not looking at them directly and she is mute plus deaf.

Ok in any case, people are still addicted to the show - I'm not one of them though. Congrats to the show for achieving a record high eh? ;)

2009-01-04T20:48:00.002+08:00

A one-of-a-kind thing happened today.

Awaken by Mum's alarm in the morning, then got to know that I need to go to Chong Pang CC to take the edusave award. -.- Wow, what a nice weekend. Changed into school uniform and took a bus there. And guess what: I only took 1 min and everything's settled. Ate some refreshments, had a look at those pasar malam stalls before going home.

Reached home and PROMISED to do homework(which obvious wasnt followed) but went to play DotA instead! Haha, played for a while and was informed by Jia Jun that a feedback session was organised this afternoon-evening. My reaction was, "What?!" cos I didnt really wanna leave home again.

Then Gerin lent me her history notes after my continuous spamming! XD LOL, then I had to go. At first I thought that only people from our squad will be there(from how Jia Jun sounds), which obviously was lame, so was kind of reluctant going.

After rushing here and there(I was running all the way?), finally reached Khatib Mcdonalds(Gerin spelled it as MacDonald's) and saw Darren doing SS notes. Oh, so we're actually feedbacking TO our seniors, which at least made my trip worthwhile(although I'm stil feeling reluctant).

Waited for Franco and Michelle to arrive before we started our discussion. Yeah, talked and talked, I've got nothing much to say anyway. Even the chances of falling from walking down the staircase also want to talk about(by Jia Jun and Gerald). ROFL. What chances of 100 and 10 people. Ahah. x) Not only this, but also many many things about NPCC. The others were kinda scared of NCO camp...

Ate McWings before going home. Thats all for the one-of-a-kind day.

2009-01-02T06:18:00.000+08:00

I was excited. I wore my school attire. I wore my school badge and name tag. I packed my bag. I took the house keys and opened the padlock. I went out of the house and took public transport to school. It was an exciting day.

2008-12-31T21:42:00.002+08:00

Showcasing my Christmas presents before I start my post yea. :D

Christmas Present to myself! NERF Maverick! 8D

Naruto figurine, donut plushie, hair scrub and socks!

Disney series mug and blopens.

Whats in that?

... A glass photo frame! x)

^v^v^v^v^v
A few more hours, and its 2009! Oh yea, so happen my sister's birthday is today, so

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SIS ELAINE! (:

Hehe, so a new year is about the begin, but I could not possibly forget the moments I spent during 2008!

A kinda eventful year spent in both school and home! Totally dope! Lets talk about the time I spent in school first k! :D

MaThEmAtIcS - obviously the best. XD Like how Mdm Jaafar likes to tell me to keep quiet(LOL!), the continuous drawing of pigs on the whiteboard by me and Hua Jie, Jian Qiang always storming up to me to tell me to shut up/stop drawing etc. Fun fun fun!
Sat with: Gerald, plus Hua Jie and Jia Shen(four tables together!).

eNgLiSh BaNdEd - not bad either. Was in Mrs Lim's class. Although she's sometimes b*tchy(throwing my pencil case out of the classroom), but its ok as we can skip the class whenever we want, giving excuses like 'the previous teacher release us late' as everyone are from different classes, how would she know? Haha! LMAO, and most oftenly nobody listens in class, with minimal class participation...
Sat with: Gerald again! Behind/in front of us are Ming Quan and Ernest! We made a lot of noise!

LiTeRaTuRe - nice! Changed seats quite often, due to my lousy position, cant really see what Ms Tay is writing(due to light reflection). Did I mention Ms Tay's handwriting is as great as mines? LOL, bhb! But still, my literature skills did improve so thanks Ms Tay alot! (:
Sat with: Keith, it was fun irritating him heh.

hOmE eCoNoMiCs - quite tiring. For some reasons I am always sleepy during Home Econs. But Ms Leong was full of wacky ideas, can see she invest a lot of efforts in making our lessons fun, so thanks to her too, as I've really enjoyed myself! Also, always asking Keith to help to cook, wash the dishes or wipe the table! Hehe.
Sat with: Keith duh! Timothy and Kenneth at the other side of the table.

ScIeNcE - a damn loser class indeed. Tried my best to pay attention in class, but when I didnt understand something from the textbook I was asking myself WHY I didnt pay attention. But after that, I realised I cannot understand A THING even when I paid the HARDEST attention! ROFL, same goes to many others in class. But. Ms Chua is a nice teacher as she really take care of our welfare. She upload many many notes onto her website(which I compile it into a file of notes) and by reading them it did help! Favourite activity in class is to take Jian Qiang's science books and running about like some crazy-ass, but caused marks to be minus-ed! Zzz.
Sat with: ALWAYS, yes ALWAYS, changing seats. Everyone changed seats all the time too.

hIgHeR cHiNeSe BaNdEd - Yep, I was in a class whom the teacher likes to talk about irrelevant stuff that has nothing to do with the textbook topic he's teaching on. LOL, but hes nice, we can sleep in class if we want. Then he like to make sarcastic comments too, turning one big round before coming to the main point.
Sat with: A bunch of guys, Boon Jing, Aaron, Jia Jun and Jun Wei. LOL, noisiest in class? *DUH*

ViSuAl ArT - interesting... BUT didnt learn much. Spent the whole period just painting and drawing. And I always chatted with Cheryl talking about how people steal things *inside joke* and claiming its their. LOL. Hahah. And we love to comment on pictures! Eh ahah.
Sat with: 6 tables, Randeep, Kai Xin, Xue Er, Veronica and Cheryl. STOP STEALING!

mUsIc - a class with non-stop blinking. Everyone is obviously counting the amount of blinks instead of listening in class. Anyway, there is nothing much to listen too, watching movies/video clips all the time. Also, some of us like to compare dandruff amount! LMAO, making the black tables kinda dirty - but nobody cares. Even the music test is useless, I didnt even bother to attempt.
Sat with: Veronica on the left and Juliana on the right.

DeSiGn AnD tEcHnOlOgY - DOPE! D&T is just another excuse to increase your overall percentage. Snapping is a unique way to call teachers k! C o o l i o. Always the last to leave the class as I've a lot of things to pack, and there is intensive interaction amongst the classmates during class. And I hate to queue up to cut my already very-good lizard. I love the curve on its tail! Great! *no sarcasm :)*
Sat with: [LEFT TO RIGHT] KEN, TIM, ME, LIM MING ZHE and DEEPAK. (no offence!)

gEoGrApHy - Had loads of fun disturbing Mr Lau and how he like to squeeze balls(eh?)! He likes to print notes that was actually sentence by sentence that follows the textbook SUPER closely. In short, they are not very effective. I'm still proud of my file cover page, yes. Spent some time doing it. Oh yea, also had fun cheating during the tests! Oops, but didnt score well in the end too. What the.
Sat with: changed seats ALL THE TIME, but around me are always the same ol' people.

HiStOrY - As you know Mr Ng's lessons are a little boring, sweets are often a nice way to spent the time away. (: And I entirely filled my mini notebook with words! Almost everything Mr Ng said are in my notebook. But it sort of didnt really help? I am not so confident in my class tests but I am lucky to score well. Still, I'm not so satisfied with my overall score, after some SEQs went. Hope to do well next year yea!
Sat with: Gerald at the VERY back, and how we like to cheat during class tests too. Oops! ;P

ORRNZX A WHHRROLEZX...
Another fun-filled years of joys and laughters! Not much of unhappiness, since there isnt any unfortunate events. I wish that every year would be the same as this! Yea, 2E was a very competitive class, but I still enjoy the motivation by everyone, on how we would often encourage each other to study but deep in our hearts we aspire to beat just everyone else! Muaha. :D So evil right our class. NO LA, JUST KIDDING K! 2E will still be the best but not-so-enthu(not important) class! x)

Dedication time!

Gerald! :D
My sitting partner for many classes. We've gone through many things together, like how we cheated in tests yet didnt score well in the end! LOL, remember for history class, someone wiped away your notes on the table? Maybe the teachers know or what. Or going to Bishan library to do Art, and Ang Mo Kio library to study for exams with Hua Jie! In any case, hope you will achieve your best next year in triple science! Ahah.

Keith! :D
My sitting partner before school starts and Literature! Ms Tean always like to ask you to move up, and always pinpoint on you. That is actually quite saddening but I'm not really spared either! Heehee, we'll be in the same class for the next 2 years too! And you disturb Jian Qiang worse than me k, still i'm getting all the blame. ;D LOL, used to it anyway, and hope you can socialise more.

Jia Jun and Ming Quan! :D
Hmm, was quite sad when I'm posted to 2E during the start of the year. But glad when we met up during banded classes! Thanks for accompanying me when Gerald was off to Nanjing, intensive DM-ing at the hawker center. Great times at Taiwan, with Wei Jie + Aaron too! See ya next year, so unfortunately posted to the same class as Ming Quan... LOL(just kidding!).

Ming Quan and Ernest! :D
We're always the four at the back of the class trying to 'participate', cos not much people does! And we like to make a lot of noise, and act that we're discussing but actually talking about games and such. Still, had a fun time!

Chinese-banded class guys, noisy like mad! :D
The 5 guys that always attract the attention of Huang Ying. Ahah, ME!, Jia Jun, Aaron, Boon Jing and Jun Wei. Oh, stop doing disgusting things ok! Haha, must grow up le! I'm being ironic I know, but still, wish to see you'all next year! ;)

Outing people: Andrea, Kai Yun, Gerald, Timothy, Hua Jie, Jasmine, Shi Ming, Samantha, Xue Er, Xin Hui and Kai Xin! :D
Although everyone come from different CCAs, we'll forever be 2E'08! This outing clique was initiated by Andrea, ahah, and most our outings werent very successful yea? Hua Jie lost his things, and sometimes it hard to organise one during to people not free or what. Same class with Jasmine, Kai Yun, Shi Ming and Samantha next year.

Melissa Foo, Juliana, Cheryl, Bryan and Jia Wei, the gossipers! :D
The bunch of noisy people before school starts ahah. This is where rumours START, *stares at MF and JUICE* Oh, we like to comment on the speaker too! And always feeling moody when they tell us to sing the national anthem again. Thanks for the laughters! xD

Shi Yun, Jia Hui and Rachel! :D
Thanks for the birthday presents to me! Although we're not in the same class, I hope our friendship does not drift apart. Best of luck in your studies next year! Hope to see any of you'all in banded classes. (:

TwoE'08, the study-freak class! :D
Ok, we seemed unbonded to others, but I know everyone know just each other very well right! Great job everyone, as we all got into pure science classes. Hope you'll be able to cope, or why should I even say this, I know everyone are able to do so! Just continue to excel! See the 12 others next year in 3E! Wootas.

Hua Jie, sms me for my number. :D
Oh, Hua Jie, that terribly annoying birdy. Great, thanks for accompanying me to disturb Jian Qiang while I'm getting all the blame on huh. Anyway, hes damn proficient in twit and agaplish. Like how he spammed my phones with all this messages and me having a hard time to reply. But it was fun nevertheless. Ya, during NDP, his wish of becoming a bird came true? LOL, good luck in triple science and hope you'll have ALL YOUR MOTIVATION YOU WANT eh.

NPCC Sec 2ers! :D
Another year we've gone through together! Not forgetting that our manpower dropped further, but I dont think we'll mind right! 13 hearts as ONE: Jia Jun, Shu Yuan, Ming Quan, ME!, Gerald, Timothy, Brehmer, Joey, Nicholas, Xin Ci, Gerin, Min Min and Wei Li! x] Lets work hard together as we face our next challenge: NCOs! Lets learn to accept things as it is, and 'accept all unreasonale things'. (I'm laughing at the last part)

Gerin and Min Min! :D
Congrats for coming to Express next year! You'all must have worked very hard to achieve that. So, continue to work hard and excel, not only in studies but in NPCC too!

Wei Li! :D
I've helped Wei Li in her studies this year you know! Especially in Science, cos she will bombard me with lots of questions via sms! But it was kinda helpful helping anyway, as I myself revised on them too. Stop asking me so much next year k, although we're in the same class! D: Haha, good luck!

Xin Ci, (see the space between your name)! :D
Hey Xin Ci, must continue to stay positive yea. Dont think of the negative side of anything ok! :D And accept all things as it is, cos sometimes life's just like that. Also, thanks for being such a great squadmate this year! Lets work hard and be the best NCOs lol! ^^

Those who went Taiwan trip! :D
Hope everyone had fun there, together with your taiwan buddies. The nightly gathering in my hotel room, making a lot of noises and hiding in the toliet, o0ps! ;P But I'm quite sorry for not bring tie, still feeling guilty though. D: Also, on behalf of the boys, Sorry! Like the teacher kept scolding, -.- even for the smallest thing. But who cares, we still enjoyed ourselves right! xD

New Year resolution:
To achieve top 10 in class.
To maintain my overall percentage at 70% or higher.
To be a good NCO/squadmate.
To try and save at least $500.
Do not drop any subjects.

For now, I think thats all. Will add on to my personal list next time! xD
Its 2009 in an hour! A busy year lies ahead... D:

2008-12-30T14:49:00.003+08:00

Spent 27th to 29th December in school. I was having NPCC December Training Camp! Quite fun and not very tiring as to what I've expected.

TwentySeven.
Reached school at around 6.45am, was slighty late although I took a taxi. LOL, what the. Never mind, proceeded to parade square for muster parade. Next, we took our bags from NPCC room and were splitted into 5 groups. I was assigned to group 2, together with Timothy, Min Min, Annabel and Wei Xiang. :D Group IC: Huiling m'am. After taking down the necessary stuff, proceed to level 4 to put our bags. As I have 4 mugs in a plastic bag and boots in a shoebag(LOL?), did some pumpings.

Yay, its icebreakers time. Played Trap!, Whacko and Tennis. Sad, did not finish even 1 time for Tennis, but its ok. (: We had treasure hunt around the school too, visiting D&T block and foyer(some examples). Finished 2nd, heh. Played golden pair and time management too, before proceeding for lunch.

After lunch, each group had its meeting, as to decide group name and cheer. Got 'transparent' as theme, and took up the name, NALGENE(water bottle) and a group cheer:
'Drink and Drink with your NALGENE up,
One, take caps off,
Two, gulp it down,
Three, finish it,
Four, altogether now!
1, 2, 3, 4, 1-2-3-4,
NALGENE, NALGENE, go go go!'
After this, Sec 2s went to learn arm drills! Woots, was fun, had a hard time flipping the rifle up though. Zzz, a standard problem. >.< But I love arm drills in any case. XD

Took some time to bring our maggi mee, utensils, mug and water bottle down to the chapel area as we're having field cooking for dinner. Kinda standard. Fortunately theres curry chicken and baked beans as side dishes, if not it will be just so plain. Haha, cleaned up and put back our items in the bunks before we proceed the day's night activity: POWER OF UNITY! Our objective is to transfer water babies from one bucket to the another using chopsticks. As you can see, integrity is very important in the game... but apparently everyone cheated LOL.

After this not-so-fair game, we had bag check. Wow, seniors poured out EVERYTHING, yes, EVERYTHING including items in the ziplock bag out for checking of prohibited items. The place was so like a rubbish dump that I cannot control but laugh, ROFL! But it was really effing messy... had a hard time sorting out the stuff. D:

Given only 10 minutes to sort out stuff and went to sleep. Didnt really care so much already. Had supper, and went to sleep and sleep until... at 2am, I was awaken and saw the seniors banging the door, shouting fire. So there was an emergency drill in the middle of the night. Sian, went down fall in, then went back after a while.

So we carried on sleeping, until I was awaken by group 1's noises as they prepare for their sentry duty. So I woke up and called my groupmates too. Went to fall in and yea, checked the padlocks around the school. Then, went back to bunk and continued sorting out my things, until it was time to fall in for the next day's activity.

TwentyEight.
Falled in at 6am, carrying the heavy water bottle. Who knows we are going to the park near Mayflower Primary to have morning PT! What the. ._. It was kinda far, and we did 5BXs by the set of 5, 10, 15 and 25. Tired like a mad lark.

After jogging, walked swiftly back and had breakfast, which was quite anticipated by our empty stomachs but to our amazement, its the same as last night's supper; biscuits and milo.

Ate a few biscuits and proceed to have campcraft revision. Not only that, we are required to teach the Sec 1s the different knots, lashings and pegging. We had an advantage as there is only 2 Sec 1s in our group, easy to teach yea. x) Had problems teaching at first, but learnt how to later.

Lunch was the same, some overdued fried chicken rice. Had 2 packets, standard meal, and had a mini campcraft test next. What the, I forgot some of my knots. -.- Argh! Anyway, I think my lashings are better than campcraft test! - Oops! ;S

After this, it was circuit training, which was quite slack I think, doing only 5 per station. We finished 2nd as well. LOL. Then came the most anticipated part of the day: arm drills again! I seriously dont mind changing into full uniform just for this sake. Learnt more drills, and went for dinner after that.

After dinner, was another standard night activity: solo walk. HorngJye sir told us a bunch of ghost stories which was not very scary to me, although there is no prove of any existence. Still, carried on to listen to them so as to 'entertain' the others. Was the last to go, and my butt kinda hurts from sitting too long HUH. Went with Brehmer as there was no time. We were very suspicious over everything, kept thinking of tricks and scares, even the EXIT sign we though the seniors turned them. WTH LMAO? Heh.

DAY3
Thought that they might have a surprise at midnight, unpacked my bag. But in the end, there was nothing! Amazing isnt it. So, woke up by the others and went packing.

The first activity of the game was morning games, which was kind of unfortunate.
First, it rained and I cannot play my favourite captain's ball game.
Second, we switched to dog and bone and I fell down the stairs after the first leg.

Yep, so I rested for a while(although I didnt felt any pain) and joined back as they played a Hahaha game, which was lame? XD No offence! Had breakfast of the same kind after this and had wet activities!

Somehow I seemed to dislike wet activity as you'll get dirty, wet and sick. Plus stuffing those soggy attire into your bag, *yucks* Still, had tons of fun just throwing those water plastic bags(a more commercial term for it eh)! Leopard crawl, tug-o-war, tu-tu jumping jacks and teamwork.

After keeping our sticky and watery attire, went to have lunch, which was again the overdued fried chicken rice. No comments about it k! Eh, I'm NOT being sarcastic really! (Ok nobody said I did...)

Then it was area cleaning. The others put back the tables and chairs in the classroom while Shu Yuan, Nicholas, Timothy and I went to clean the toliet. Wow, had a fun time instead, as we sprayed the whole floor with water using the hose, and cleaning it using toliet papers?! LOL, what a Shu Yuan-ish idea! Heheh! ^^ So we wiped using the t-shirts duh.

Oh yea, I remembered Kang Qi m'am asked me to find Michelle m'am and she was like sleeping in the classroom? What the lol. Haha, so after this small incident I went to reorganise my bag.

Annual General Meeting (Semester 2) after this! HOORAY! Which I kind of anticipated it as well, was very happy all the way. Crapped like some shit, and got P&P department, and I am already tasked. Hah. New squad I/Cs too, @)@U*)%(&*F#$K *CENSORED* (heehee)

Was dismissed at a late time after receiving our rank and badges. No rank this time, but campcraft and Total Defence silver! Hmm I love badges. But to think of 1 more badge to pin makes me feel... very tired LOL. Ok, so changed and went to hawker center to have something decent before embarking on a tired journey home.

On a whole, enjoyed this camp. Dont really feel that its a camp. (: Also, built up courage on passing knowledge to juniors. Improved my campcraft skills too!
And to Nalgeners: Good job everyone! Hope you've enjoyed yourselves too.

2008-12-24T22:17:00.002+08:00

Random ranting: MSN emoticons apparently sucked. Why? Look at it. It is so round that I do not think anybody of a right size would have that face ever. And for the :) emoticon, the mouth seemed full of lipstick, and the expression is forever so spastic. Like, Using :) is nice, BUT I CANT USE IT IN MSN. It will appear as the dumb ball that doesnt even express my feelings/emotions!

And :D! MY FAVOURITE SMILEY TO USE! But, it will appear as a eye freak with a wide smile without teeth. -.= Awfully ugly! Why did MSN even invent it in the first place?

Oh yea, and MSN emoticons are yellow-faced? What the, it made the entire emoticon worse I say, already worse with the oval shaped eyes. D: Hopefully, blogger wasnt under the same spell of replacing already cool smileys with irritable emoticons. >.<

2008-12-20T13:22:00.004+08:00

Umm, I just realised recently that I've lost my school tie, a pair of school shoes and school PE shorts for NO REASON! Or maybe theres a reason but I didnt know. D:

Haiz, I will scold myself for being careless for losing items, but this time, I dont even know I've lost it or the reason I've lost it! What the hell luh. :(

For the school tie, I realised I lost it after coming back from Taiwan school trip. School shoes? Was packing for SiA day camp when I found the shoe missing! AND BOTH SHOES ARE LOST? ... And I lost it at home. Dots.

AND PE SHORTS? I never really wear it, even for PE lessons. So why did I lost it? I think I lend it to others, but they forgot to return it to me? Perhaps, if not it wont disappear from my closet without any reason right!

*sigh*

[edited 24122008!] The things I've lost are not that simple eh! Worse, now I cannot find my colour pencils, and some more stationeries. And to account that my house is not big, still I cannot find those small small things. Zzz! Really bored of finding things. Perhaps using the computer for long caused me to have a shorter memory capacity. D: Christmas tomorrow! Must be happy(apparently not?).

2008-12-17T19:12:00.003+08:00

Holidays are ending in quite a swift. Its already mid-december, just a few more days to school reopens! :D (not exactly happy duh)

Why not happy? Of course, with the stack of holiday homework left unfinished, who would be happy! LOL. So far, I've done Science, Mathematics and reading portfolio, which is so so little can! Haha. Hope I would not have to burn midnight oil. ;P

Went out with Samantha, Kai Yun, Timothy and Hua Jie today! First, met up Timothy and went to return my library books. Then, they 'accompanied' me to Yoshinoya and I had the student meal alone. Hah. :) And, I went to Subway and shared a footlong Cold Cut Trio sandwich with Timothy! So much food, making me very full. Afterwhich, we took a train to Dhoby Dhaut and watched a movie together.

Yep, we watched Bolt! The movie looked cute, but it wasnt really hilarious! Sian, was expecting much more than this. Still its Disney, they are capable of creating nice movies. Zzz. The animations looked real, but the storyline just didnt work. *sigh* I agree with the others than Finding Nemo is better. Samantha was about to fall asleep lol!

Had long wanted to checked out Sengkang Library, so went there to have a look before embarking home. And there was no librarians there! Quite cool, but the entire library is kinda small. Went home after that.

Hmm, I was really bored-off this holidays that I read quite a number of informative books. Those kind of, under 'General Collections'. Anyway, hope to finish my current
storybook which I still dont know the title! Ha.

Went to help out in The Promise Musical from 26 - 29 December 2008! It was kinda fun? Yeah! Played 'Murder', had free drinks / meals, did some logistics work and of course, watching the musical; which to me the musical was professional compared to others which I watched. Not to forget I saw my primary school's play director, Mr Tony Quek. It was a pity I didnt take a photo with him though, but I took it with an actor called Trevor. He looked like someone eh? :D
