晏几道 《鹧鸪天》

《鹧鸪天》 晏几道

彩袖殷勤捧玉钟,当年拚却醉颜红。舞低杨柳楼心月,歌尽桃花扇底风。

从别后,忆相逢,几回魂梦与君同,今宵剩把颍钢照,犹恐相逢是梦中。


thinking of you ... :)

1 wk after i'm sick

it's another friday. fall sick last week, with a record high fever for me of 39.3 degree Celsius. I was really feeling awful. My head was spinning, with the high amount of heat in my body. I even imagined that my enzymes are reacting at a slower rate than usual since they are in a condition not in their optimum state. I even thought about if my brain would be too 'hot' such that I may become retarded soon. Well, you don't think properly and will start to imagine things when you have a high fever and bad headache. Wanna thank my family members who have cared and taken care of me meticulously when i was really sick and suffering so much of the pain. =)

Gotten back my mid-year result slip. Quite satisfied but definitely want to be even better =] hope my wish come true :)

Helped out in the Translation Competition held by our college, which will bbe tomorrow. The Chinese Department organized it and all taking H2 CLL are to help out either as ushers, receptionists, back-stage/logistics, emcees or hosts. My role is to press a device to show the marks scored by the participants. cool! lolx...

Have to move 6 tables from canteen to outside of LT4. That's quite a walking distance and a long flight of steps. Me and Jun Jie were the only 2 guys left to carry them as the other 2 had things to attend to. It was near 7pm and the teachers were very caring and nice to us. As it was parent-meeting session tonight, they were busy and left this job to us. They let us have the free food provided primarily for the parents and those night-studying students. and they ensured that we have enough food by serving us! not only that, the teacher gave us serviettes and treat us a can of chrysanthemum drink each! wah, touched by her. thank you, teacher! Well, working with the Chinese Department teachers for two rehearsals sessions made me think that all the chinese teachers are really nice. glad and fortunate to have the batch of nice teachers in the college. =]

About the carrying 6 tables with Jun Jie, there's a small part where it is really hilarious. As we are almost zonked out carrying those tables, which are indeed heavy, we tried different methods carrying the tables and experimented out which method required the least energy, or seemed to us that less energy is required. We tried one way, suggested by Jun Jie, that instead of carrying the tables in the conventional way (which is one carry one breadth of the table while the other person carry the other breadth), we tried carrying the lengths. So it's like we are carrying and walking sideways, with out heads turning 90 degrees to look at the front while carrying the table. I felt it was really a strange method of carrying a table as i never see anybody carried a table the way like ours. I expressed to Jun Jie the strangeness I felt but can't really describe what is the strange as, after all, it's just a new or unconventional way of carrying a table. Jun Jie felt strange too and he described it as if we are dancing Tango! HAHAHA! That was really the right description man! carrying a table, walking sideway and with our heads turning 90 degrees... it just like we are dancing tango! I laughed, and cannot stop for a while. it's really a funny description or analogy. LOL!

Finished watching latest episodes of naruto: shippuden and huan huan ai (:
Reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Gonna start reading the chapter on The Wedding soon~

Hope my weekends will be fruitful and will use it wisely! lol... xp

sick...arrggghhh....

Every Friday is both a good and bad day for me. It's good because it is the last day of the week, which means that weekend is coming. It's bad as I have to endure the long consecutive hours of lessons. 8am - 9am is Bio lecture, followed by half an hour break. Then here comes the endurance race...
9.30-10.30 Chem lecture;
10.30 - 11.30 Math tutorial;
11.30 - 12. 30 GP;
12.30 - 1.30 CLL;
1.30 - 2.30 Xtra Bio tutorial. =.=
It's 5 hours of consecutive lessons with no breaks in between this 5 hours at all. & u have to travel around the school to the venues of the lesson. I'll always feel hungry and lethargic during this 5 hours. Besides this, I have to wait till 4pm for PE lesson which lasts till 5pm before I can go home.

Fall sick. Headache, fever, cough, then felt cold... I've the feeling that I'll fall sick while waiting for PE. Think it must be due to playing touch and grab rugby in the rain on Wed. It's not my choice to play in the rain. I'd choose not to play rugby in the rain if i can. It's the teacher who did not let us off even though when it startedd to drizzle which later became heavier, before he decided to let us off. But seriously, playing rugby in the rain is indeed qute cool. The whole body is wet. lolx... Though it made me fall sick, it's an expeience to play rugby in the rain. We played grab rugby, meaning we have to grab the opponents' back and chest, before they gave up a chance to have the possession of the rugby. so my point is: you will hav to do lots of body contact when you play rugby. hahax...
Perhaps stress plays a part in making me fall ill too. GP test on tues and Bio lecture test on wed next week. Hopefully I'll score decently well grades =)
Hope I get well soon. Have to!

Wed learn rugby, whereby we will proceed on to learn contact rugby soon which is more 'violent'. Fri afternoon PE learn tennis. So it's not true that you need not attend afternoon PE if you passed NAPFA. -.-"

Saw my ranking of my CLL. Out of 88 candidates who took H2 CLL mid-yr exam, I ranked the 16th position. it may not seem very well but i was quite satisfied =] It's not like rank no.1, followed by 2, 3, 4, ...
As some people score the same percentage, the ranking becomes no.1,1 followed by 3, 3, 3, 3, then 7, 7, 9, 10, 10, 10, 13, .... bla bla bla... So i'm not too bad compared to the cohort la.. haha... The top 2 who scored A grade are from China from another class. Hmmm.. I'll have to buck up (:

Will be getting mid-yr result slip soon. luckily have no obligation to trouble my parents to go over to college to meet the CT since I never failed any subject. phew~ Wonder what my remarks will be.... lol..

From now on, i'll try to do at least half of my tutorials myself and copy the rest, unlike last time when I copied all. haha... Less than 65 days to first paper of Promo, and TYS will be my close friends for this period of time =] Hope my wish come true :)

boring saturday

Studied for 3 hours and online for another 3 hours. It's another boring day in my life.

Reality is such. I know it long ago. How I wish to be able to live in my ideal world, a world without any worries at all. Something's just missing in my life, or my life won't be so monotonic almost every day. It's pretty sad to live lifeless-ly. Even I do pity myself at times. what's wrong with me? Grrrr... so confused and angry with myself. it's my life and yet i don't know how to live it to the fullest. dumb isn't it? i don't exactly know what i want in life. sad eh... for now, at least i know that to do well in studies is a goal for me. but other than this, what else? what else? i detest growing up, getting older and having to face the complexity and ugliness of reality. How I admire Peter Pan!!!!!!!! the boy who will never grow up! i want to go back to my childhood. there's no stress for me to handle. there's so much fun. it's so much simplistic then. unlike the situation i'm in now, this very moment. watching kids playing and running about evokes a sense of nostalgia. how i miss those times. it seems so far away from me. the future is so unexpectable. everything is a facade. and i'm left with no choice but to carry on living in this cold-blooded, complicated and cynical world. till the day i die.
[& i realise that i use 3 Cs to describe this world]

B for Bio!

I got a B grade for Bio, not C anymore. haha... That's because the percentage for the structured paper is reduced such that it is equivalent to that of 'A' level and thus raise my overall results. And I'm quite proud to say that I am one of the 5 % in the cohort who get a B grade. 4% get A grade. No idea for C, D, E and S. But 22% got a U grade. \=

Tests for this term:
1) GP essay test on Wk 5
2) Bio test (DNA & Genomics) on Wk 6??
3) Chem test (Energetics, Rxn Kinetics ,and Equilibria) on Wk 8 (15 Aug)
4) Bio SPA (Skill B and C) and Chem SPA (Skill C and D) on Wk 8-9


It's weekend and I am going to mug as much as I can! And also do notes for Math, Bio, Chem, and CLL (in the order of priority)! If possible, gonna do a bank of vocabulary words and good expressions in an exercise book to improve my GP. Well, hopefully I will do them and not only just say which is of a large probability. LoLz~ =.="

Gonna watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix next Tuesday! hee :D
Next Tuesday will be an early day for me as it will be 'A' level MT Listening Comprehension which I do not have to take since I'm not taking H1 Chinese. yeah... hahax...


Alright, shall stop here. till then, tata! [>.<]

mid-year results

After getting GP and Bio today, I know all my grades for all subjects already. No A or B. That's pretty sad, especially for subjects such as GP and Bio when 1 more mark are required to achieve that B; and 1.5% more marks (3 marks) for CLL to get B. So my GP, CLL, Bio and Math got C; Chem got a D. Happy and relaxed that I did not fail any subject and have improved from tests; on the other hand, not quite satisfied with myself as I know I could do even better. I realized that it is not Mid-year that is pulling my overall marks down, it is instead CA marks which is 25% of the overall marks at the end of the year. I did badly for CA (assignments and tests). Mid-year is only 15%. How I wish the percentages of mid-year and CA can swop. -.-"

This week is so-called PW week where the first 3 hours for each day are specially allocated for us to draft our Written Report. WR is 40% of our PW marks, thus WR is really important and that's why the school allocated so much time for us. Since our class is drafting WR together in a air-con cosy classroom (lol), it also promotes class spirit and bonding. We laughed at one another, and enjoyed the freedom we have since no tutor is supervising us. Especially when we got to know an incident which is extremely unlikely to happen.

It's 74 days left to first paper of Promotional Exam, that is GP. Have to start preparing for it now. SPAs and tests are coming up. EoM will need to be done soon. After Promos, have to start working on OP and finally I&R. All these will have to be completed before my J1 curriculum is officially over. Hope my wish will come true. Jia You! :)

"I never imagine you are such person. Please do not talk behind other people's backs. Do not creat unnecessary misunderstandings. It is selfish and childish. Sooner or later, you will find that there will be less people talking to you if your acts carry on, and it is really sad indeed when you have no real friends. What you did make people think that you are hypocrytical which is seriously irritating."

1ooTH p0st ... colorgenics

My 100th post. Haha. Don't have to celebrate, yea...

Firstly, I wanna show a video which is damn cute! Credit: audrey.
A lil gal who said, "WhAteVeR!"
Watch it!!! Must! haha...

Cute right? (=

Got back my Math paper. and got a C grade of 55.5%. for me, i think it's not bad given the fact that i self-studied the first 3 months stuffs (AP/GP, Summation, Binomial Theorem and Mathermatical Induction, and the lectutes for these topics were almost useless as they literally rushed through...), and manage to get some of these questions right. careless for 1 question. but the rest were questions which i really did not know how to do, so i was quite satisfied with myself, but i do know that i have to clear those questions which i dunno and bridge the gap asap. [:

After that, it's 4 hours from 9am to 1pm for us to do Written Report outline. and our group has almost finished the outline, except for the bibliography which we'd forgotten to take down the titiles of books and the websites and we'll be going to National Library tomorrow to look for those books again, as well as to do more research. jia you!

Found a link from tzelin's blog. By just clicking 8 colours, it tells alot about you, and it's very true for me. The analysis for me is:

You are the sort of person that needs a peaceful environment. (lolx.. who doesn't want peace? :p) You seek release from stress and freedom from conflicts and disagreements, of which you seem to have had more than your fair share. But you are taking pains to control the situation by proceeding cautiously and you are right in doing so as you are a very sensitive person. (yeap.)

Of late, everything seems to be going so slowly - far slower than you anticipated - and this is causing you much anxiety and frustration. It would appear that there is little you can do about the series of events that now seem to be taking place. In spite of the fact that you feel like 'giving up' - don't. Take a deep breath and start over again and you will find that eventually the expression 'All's well that ends well' will have an extra special meaning for you. (yea... perhaps it's abt my academia which I've quite high expectations for myself... or others ... ... ...)

You give the impression that you are a self-sufficient individual (do I?? hahx), pretending that you are stoical - indifferent to pain or pleasure. But this is not so, for in truth you are an extremely emotional person (haha.. i agree.. xp), one that may make hasty decisions (sometimes I do) and perhaps repent at leisure (yup, I do..) . It is time now perhaps to break the bond of detachment and become the real 'you' - the you that you would like to be.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful (definitely!)and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full (Yeah!). You therefore resent any restriction or limitations (yes.) that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.

huan huan ai =D

Just finished watching 换换爱 episode 5. nice nice =D worth the time to watch it! thanks yanli for recommending this drama :) now waiting for the next episode to be uploaded in YouTube. and also naruto shippuden. =]

Got back my Chemistry paper. get a D grade =\ 52.5% if i didn't calculate wrongly. haiz, just 2.5% more to a C grade. wasted :/ But i'm really happy and quite contented that i can even pass given the fact that i had no idea what the questions are asking for when i did the paper. Some questions allow error-carried-forward marks and if not for those marks, i would have failed. phew~
Anyway, when i entered the LT for Chem lesson, the lecturer showed us on the screen how we performed for the Chem paper. and the fact that shocked me was that the majority of us got U grade. =.=" that's about 200+ people. And the top scorer scored 95%! (Oh my goodness!) and the teacher thus concluded that the paper was not really dfficult... v_v\\\

ok...nothing more to comment liao...

tata! [:

sch stuff.. boring

blogging... and it's really late... oh, it's already a brand new day.. =.="

Tiring period of mugging and taking exams are gone, but the worse has yet to come and will be coming very soon indeed. the ReSuLtS of the mid-year exams! don't wish to dwell my mind and worry too much about my results. whatever will be, will be. i know that i have put in my best for all the papers. i know i did. i'll try to face the reality/cruelty of the world, whatever results i fare for myself. i'll try. didn't i used to be an optimist? let it not change, alright?

the days ahead will be busy. sigh. well, that's jc life, isn't it? special time tables for the next 2 weeks are set for us whereby morning will be lectures while afternoon will be PW. i anticipate that it will be really boring. hope that my anticipation will not come true, as least not to the extent of boring us to death. as a CCS member, i have to watch 3 drama plays. T_T need to fork out money myself for watching these drama productions, though most probably there'll be discounts, at least $8 it will be for watching each drama production from my past experiences which i think is still quite alot for me. but i've to pay those money eventually. =\ Looking forward to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie! and the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book! yea, i'm a Harry Potter fans.. haha...

there'll be cca meetings which will be discussing about changing the name of our cca name instead of 'chinese cultural society', and meetings where the exco are to plan for what are the things to do for future cca days.. well, i don't see a need to change the name of our cca. who knows that CCS may reach out to more areas such as chinese debate and others in the future? CCS is now restricted only to drama production but who knows, the future ccs members may decide to work on other areas regarding chinese culture, since it is Chinese Cultural Society? Drama production being ccs's major while others (such as debate) being minors is a pretty good idea eh? well, those are all my personal opinions. one person's stand has an extremely low probability to change the decision of the rest. the result is that the person will have to eventually conform to the ideas of the majority. i think i'll just keep mum while the rest are discussing, or maybe say something like 'ok', 'yea', 'can' in order to get it over and done with. >.<


HAHA! so happy! i just found out that I don't have to go back to school on Tues (3.7.07) cos there is still mid-year exams going on.. CSC, Art and MT Listening Compre. so my weekend is 4 days long! ahahahhaahhahahhahaaha! more time to do my notes, finish my tutorials and read some books! all work and no play makes me a dull boy. =p lolx... that, of course, also means more time for me to relax, and get myself ready for more challenges ahead in school, in life.

hmmm.... a pretty long post. shall stop here..

tata! :p
