SYF aftermath

I'd pre-ordered S.H.E. PLAY yesterday night at JP's MJ! =D I thinks that's the only store in the whole JP in which the pre-ordering of S.H.E.'s album is available.

Just finished my 3rd draft for my PI. Spent nearly 5 hours cracking my brain to improve my showcasing of Albert Einstein and struggling to edit my PI from 677 words to finally 500 words... Though my Albert Einstein cannot be used for my Group PW cos teacher doesn't want us to work on people who he knows, I'll just try to do my PI to the best for individual's score.....

From my mail:

Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18
AQUARIUS MAN

Hot-hearted man who likes to do thing his way. He can suddenly decide to do something without thinking of it's outcome. He is the type of guy with an inside energizer, so if you fall in love with this type of guy be "patient", even if you have to follow him a bit. His creative mind could create fantastic idea any time. If you do not understand or can not follow him, you won't be with him for long.

A man in this Zodiac will less likely to have a pale skin, and if he has a scar, it would be on his face or on his head [o_+]. He moves very fast and very energetic, and he has a very self confident in himself. He is not the type to sit down and feel sorry or regret anything for long, especially with "Love". He loves justice. He dares to show his opinion or even argue about certain subject even he knows it might bring him problems. A straight forward type of guy. He hardly lies except if he think it is necessary and he is not a good liar anyway. He will not lie to you about serious matter, but if he lie he will lie only a small little thing.

He is gifted with the ability to be a very social person. He could talk even about subject that he has no knowledge of. He interests only at the present time and look at the world positively. Many times he feels hurt because of reality, but he will not run away and he will overcome that difficulty. Even he is a high and self confident type and center his own thought as a main focus, but at the same time he is a kind, cute and polite guy. [=p] He certainly is not a mean person. He likes to help people who are in troubles even he is not asked to.

He is the type who feels sorry if you remember bad things he said to you that he had already forgotten,but you did not. Belief him that he is very sorry and give him another chance.

Once he decides to do something, he will put all his mind and energy in it either in his "Work", or "Love". He is the type who gamble anything in the casino, so do not even take him there. He does not like pessimistic, low energy, and depress person, especially no brain. Strangely he like to overpowered this type of people to assure that he is more superior.

He like to be the first person to do something. You can see sparkling in his eyes, once he meet a new target or new lover. Once he is in love, he will act as if he never has love like this before. This minute he could be real sugar sweet, and later he could also be an icy cold, but do not blame him for that will only chase him away. He could fall in love again with another girl and act again like he never has this kind of love before.He could really love someone, but not a heart broken type for he thinks love is "excitement" and "Love goes on". If you date this kind of guy, do not or avoid showing your face to him with face pack, face mask, always be presentable, nice and cute.

If he is quiet not because he is shy, but he is only quietly thinking. If you have a chance to ask his X-girlfriend, she will tell you that he is not a shy or quiet type. If he is really and truly in love with you, he will never lie to you at all. How do you know if he loves you, bet on your faith! Love him and treat him steadily and do not try to find anything to argue with him, he will be with you for sure.

If you are his lover or girlfriend and need to tell him something, go and say it out loud and straight forward because he hate long boring story. He likes a confident woman who also a good follower. If he gets mad at you, let him be for only a short time he will be normal again.

You have to like and be able to get along with his friends, but he does not have to do so with all your friends. Don't ever think you could make him jealous by flirting with other man, he will just leave instead of making a scene because he is a confident man and has to be the first in everything.

Ooohhh... I'm like that.... hahaha......

SYF

FINALLY, SYF FOR CHINESE DRAMA IS OVER! MY SUFFERING OF GOING HOME LATE IS OVER TOO!

=p

anything....

S.H.E.'s 10th album - PLAY, wll be available for pre-ordering on 25th April! =D There's 11 songs in this album! Looking forward to its release on 11th May! :p

Last week for me to endure through... Hope everything we've done and what Huang laoshi has done for us can be paid off. (:

Go home in the evening, go home in the evening, go home in the evening, go home in the evening ..... Homework, homework, homework, homework ...... These are my life in my pathetic month of April. =\There's 1 more week of going home as late as 9+++pm every day and more homework before there's a short break... [[& counting down ~~~]]

Off to using my brain cells and mitochondria to do homework. Bye...

1 more wk to SYF

I've survived the past week! cheers! Wake up as early as 5.25a.m. and reached home as late as 9.40p.m. almost every day... BUT, I will be released only at earliest 9pm every day on next week as we're now busy preparing for the SYF on 28/4... Just a week away! Jia you CCS and we can reach our goal!! =)

Currently struggling with my H2 Math~~ =\ But fret not, I will have my own way to solve this problem... xp ...lolx... Hope it'll be successful~

Had an assembly on Wed regarding NS. For the first time I can sit on a chair attending an assembly cos a VIP(ex-NYJCian) who is now a General is invited to share what NS is about. It makes us so excited when we get to know that some of us may be given opportunites to go overseas such as Australia and France to train, though we'll be travelling in commercial airlines as it is efficient and economical. hahax...

S.H.E.'s 10th album - PLAY, will be released on 11th May 2007!!! YAY!!! =D

sleep deprivation

I'm deprived of sleep! Due to intense preparation for SYF, I get to sleep for less than 5 hours every weekday! =( It'll only end at 9pm starting next Thursday, till the last Thursday of April. It will be already 11.30pm or so when I reached home. No time for homework. No time to mug for tests and exams. No time for me to rest a while. No time to sleep! =(

Moreover, I, in fact all the boys, will always suffer from body aches after PE lessons because the teachers are preparing us for NAPFA test in 3 weeks' time. =( In order to pass, all of us have to get at least a Silver award. =(
The boys are asked to run 4 rounds around Lane 7 and 8 (time limit of 8 min), next do 15 pull-ups, followed by shuttle run, and Standing Broad Jump. About a few hours later, all the boys suffered from aches around the arm and shoulder. This, together with my sleep deprivation, have made me zonked out for the past 3 days. I am very sure that I will experience it again for the following 2 weeks! =(

Hope the month of April will be gone soon...... v_v

newsweek

School today is as per normal - just like how u feel today.. Hahax... As usual, crap with audrey, huey jia and aw yeong.... "WHAT??!" Laughing out loud.... roll eyes 0_0"

Got 4 copies of Newsweek during PW lecture today. Wooh! Can read the magazines lo!! x] The GP teachers managed to bargain for a very cheap price at only $1/copy! So cheap la... Its usual cost price is i think $7.50. That's like paying only 13.333333333333333% of the usual price! =p

I got Zhi Wei, the AEP student in my class, to help me draw some nice pictures on the cardboard behind my fulscap pad. Wow! Superb drawing! An AEP student indeed!

Tests and exams coming up in just a few weeks' time. Just hope that I can at least get a 50% pass for all my subjects, especially for GP & Math! It's the first time in my whole life hoping to get only a pass for a test/exam. The reason is I still haven't FULLY understood what the first three months' stuff is all about. The teachers are literally rushing through and that's it. I'm just too desperate that I aim for only a pass~ :/ *sigh...........

HP 7

Yay! I've pre-ordered Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows yesterday night! I'm so so looking forward to the release of the book on 21 / 7 / 2007.. racial harmony day?? hahax... But the sad thing is this will be the last book of Harry Potter already... =\

I've finished my PI 20 minutes ago! haha... So happy! I can have an early sleep tonight though school starts at 9am tmr cos it's Monday. =p

Have to collect Math files from the First intakers... Troublesome [i'm abit like Shikamaru (from Naruto) dislikes troubles... lolx]. I also need to complete my first three months math assignment asap cos i know there'll be little time for me to do so as SYF is nearing..... =\

Hmmmm... think that's it ba.... ta ta!!

busy busy busy

April is going to a real hectic month for me.

Firstly, I have to catch up on my academic subjects. As I did not study H2 Math, H2 Chemistry and H2 Biology during PAE, I have much difficulties to truly understand the concepts, let alone memorising the facts for tests and the coming Mid-year examination. It is especially so when the teachers were just rushing through all the first three months' stuff in a mere one week. I can't even remember the formulae and methods to solve the Math questions! I don't even know the significance of RNA in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells! H2 Chemistry is the only subject I am currently most confident in as the concepts are easier for me to understand because there are online lectures uploaded on the NYJC website for us to go and attend the lectures they have conducted in the first three months.

Secondly, I have to find time to work on my Preliminary Ideas for my Project Work. The teacher estimated that as student, we need to research for at least 10 hours in order to do a good enough PI. =.=" The deadline for the 1st draft of PI will be on next Monday! By hook or by crook, I must finish it by Sunday night, or even early morning on Monday, which I really do not wish to. Hello, I need to SLEEP! o_o

Thirdly, I need to attend CCA [Chinese Cultural Society] on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, as well as on Saturday! It usually ends on 7+++pm on Wed, Thur and Fri. It will end even later on the last week of April, till 9pm! The SYF competition will be on 28th April. How lethargic I will be by then, especially my bus journey is approximately 75 minutes! Hope I am able to survive this hectic month of April!

JC life is indeed hectic! It just keep you busy for quite a period of time before you can enjoy a relatively short rest. I can now really feel how my secondary school teachers have mentioned that secondary school and JC lives are the most hectic period in their life. Somehow, you just wish badly for more hours availabe in one day so that you can do all the things that you are required to accomplish on time and do not have to suffer from headache and so much stress. I guess that's how reality is, so I've learnt to accept it. It's better to do what you need to do asap before everything piles up and have to put up with the intense stress you're going to carry.


It just feels so great to have someone to talk to you especially when you are feeling so lonely.

thoughts abt my new skin

A new skin which features Naruto and other ninjas from the Hidden Village of Konoha attending the Third's Hokage funeral after the Third Hokage fought with Orochimaru who was one of Third Hokage's students many years ago. The scene when the Third Hokage fought so hard in order to save the village from harm touched me alot. After watching the scene, it made me respect the hokages alot! By the way, a hokage is recognised as the ninja who has the highest level of ninja skills in a village. The anime 'Naruto' is really a nice anime to watch. It is the plot and the characters & attitudes of the ninjas in the anime that makes me want to continue to watch. I like this sad instrumental music too. You should watch Naruto if you have not watched before. The plot is really touching. Naruto is a highly-recommended anime to watch! *****

Schools re-opening tomorrow. No comments. Just hope that I can understand and am able to have a good grasp of the concepts. The worst thing for me tomorrow is that I have to study for 4 straight hours without break in between from 11.30a.m. to 3.30p.m.! -.-"

Anyway, I just got to know that all my male juniors successfully got into the second round of the audition. CoNgRatS!! Jia you for the next round!! :)

CSS2

Supposed to report to NYJC for the JC1 Level Camp today but I pon! The camp is about how to work effectively as a team which many people find it not really useful cos we are able to solve problems ourselves should they arise and there's no need to attend this camp. Instead, I went to Toa Payoh to support xxxxx. Started queueing at around 9.30 a.m. and it was already around 4.50 p.m. when it's finally xxxxx's turn. Result: xxxxx got in to the second round with just one try! Congrats! yyyyy and zzzzz suddenly screamed which gave me a shock as I was less than 50 cm from the both of them~ All of us clapped and cheered happily for xxxxx.

Anyway, the first contestant to queue is a student from my alma mater and he successfully got into the second round. The second round would be two weeks away. Hope I am free on that day to support xxxxx. As the mAjOriTy of today's contestants were kicked out, there should be much fewer people in the next round. That's a good news to all the supporters since we can stand for a shorter time. :p

Also saw my juniors taking part. All the very bEsT to them!! =)

Next week is a lecture week. Hope I won't be bored to death~ I've just done my Chemistry notes for the concepts which I understand for the first topic. I decided to do my notes early so that I'll have ample time to study for the subjects - a lesson I learnt from preparing for my 'O' level. I'll have to restart my study engine now after resting for 4 months. General Paper mid-year exam would be held in May and I really want to get good grade for my GP. 'A' level Chinese oral examination is just 2-3 months away. Jia you ba! =]

JAE life =p

I was zonked out after Orientation 2 in Nanyang JC cos of the Disco Night which last till 9pm! I reached home only at 10.20p.m.! =_=" Everyone was very 'high' during Disco Night. Everyone was jumping like nobody business... lolx... I jumped (unwillingly) till my toes hurt sehx... v_v

Basically, I've nothing to comment about the Orientation 2 cos I'm not really that enthusiastic in it. Perhaps I know what to expect for an orientation that makes me that not interested in the orientation. I would rather talk / crap with my friends than paying attention to what's happening around. NYJC friends are really friendly! Really! All of them are easy to talk to. =) On the last day of orientation, there's one new Tribe mate joining us. He was posted to JJC during PAE. However, he withdrew after orientation... =_=" That's because he lived in Bedok. Even further than when I travelled to NYJC from Jurong. LOL. I was in tribe 14. At first, my thought was "What an unlucky number man!" when I found out I belonged to Tribe 14, even though I am not superstitious. But, of course, that never disturbed me badly la.

My subject combination was out. I would be studying H1 General Paper, H1 Project Work, H2 Chinese Language & Literature, H2 Biology, H2 Chemistry and H2 Mathematics. sigh* Need to buy a really expensive Graphic Calculator. A one-year warranty costs $190 while a two-year warranty costs $199. Of course I'd rather pay $9 more to get a two-year warranty. -.- wth man... I've bought 2 sets of uniform which caost $56 in total. I heard that the colour of the uniform has become lighter, which somebody says "fake hwa chong students". lolx. =\ Nonetheless, I'd rather the colour to become lighter as at least it is nicer than when the colour is darker...

Need to print out lecture and tutorial notes so as to attend lesson when school reopens. As I was not with NYJC during PAE, I have to stay till afternoon/evening everyday on Week 1 Term 2 to attend the lectures for second intakers! OMG. I can't imagine how tired I may be.....

first day in NYJC

Today woke up at 5.21 a.m. just to want to reach NYJC early. However, I was still late by 10 minutes, but no one bothered whether I was late or not. phew~

I took a bus to Lakeside MRT station, then take till Bishan MRT station. After that, I took a bus no. 58 and finally reach NYJC. The whole journey took 1 h 30 min!

First day in NYJC was good to me. The school environment is very conducive for studying. The teachers are approchable. The principal is somewhat humorous, and he is so much better than the principal in the JC which I have been posted to during PAE. =P

We registered our subject combination online today. I've chosen H2 Chinese Language & Literature, H2 Biology, H2 Math and H2 either Physics or Chemistry. The other 3 are H1 General Paper, H1 Project Work and H1 Chinese.

There's CCA Bazaar during the afternoon and I've signed up for Channel News Nanyang and Photographic Society.

This is what I have to do for the next 2 years: Wake up at 5.03 a.m. every morning (during weekdays of course) and get ready by 5.35 a.m. to take the first bus of bus no. 154. I'll then alight at Clementi MRT station and transfer to bus no. 105 which will bring me to NYJC. The whole journey takes around 1 h 15 min. But hope there is only few people taking the bus that early and that the bus driver would drive faster so that I can reach school earlier... And, of course, I will reverse the process to go back home.

Tomorrow is the official start of Orientation 2. Maybe I'll blog about the orientation 2 at a later date. =)

last day of Feb '07

Here to just revive my blog...

Watched The Arena yesterday. Raffles Institution was debating with Hwa Chong Institution and the motion of the debate is "Singaporeans youths are politically apathetic". Raffles Intitution emerged as the winner of the debate. The debate was very exciting with both schools rebutting against each other's stand and point of views. Also, there were humours created by the boys which relieved the tense atmosphere. Wooh! DeBaTe!! lolx...

Anyway, the new series of Naruto, Naruto: Shippūden, totally rawks! Naruto has grown up, both physically and mentally. It evokes a sense of nostalgia in me when watching the naruto, as well as other characters in the anime, to grow more mature. Nonetheless, the story of Naruto: Shippūden remains as exciting as ever, or even more exciting than the first series of Naruto. Episode 4 of the anime will be broadcasted tomorrow at 7.27p.m. in Japan and soon I will catch it on YouTube! =>

Today is the last day of February and tomorrow will be the month of March.
Time really flies.... =]

The Arena

Happy Valentine's Day! =D

Watched The Arena yesterday. Hwa Chong Institution was debating with CHIJ Katong Convent. I'm not really sure about the motion but it was something like "Preventing youths from exposure to sex will lead to social problems". The winner is Hwa Chong Institution. I had expected the result to be such jugding not from my preconceptions about the schools but from the performances of both teams. Indeed, HCI deserves to win the debate because the boys spoke fluently, confidently, assertively, and they used a wide range of vocabulary and their sentence structures were correct. However, I do not deny that CHIJ KC did give HCI "an easy time" as commented by one of the judges. Overall, I think it is the HCI's team spirit and their ability to bring across new ideas about the motion substantiated with concrete examples that impress the judges, as well as the viewers, and thus they won the debate! I do have alot to learn from the HCI and hope that I could be like them one day...

I've submitted my JAE application yesterday le.

Happy Chinese New Year to all!!! =)

O level result

Got back my O level result yesterdy afternoon. I was very nervous while sitting down in the hall. I could even feel my heart pumping hard and loud! lolx..

I didn't make it to stage.. diaox.. =_=" Haha.. expected la~ So I had to line up to receive my result from my form teacher. Well, I got a neither horrendous nor an excellent result, but an acceptable and a reasonable one. It's only okay to me... My L1R5 is 11. Here's my summary of my result: EL - B3; Combined Humanities - A2; EM - A2; AM - A2; Physics - A2; Chemistry - A2; Biology - A1 and Chinese - A1. If only my mathematics can get an A1.... *sigh... But never mind, it's all over le. Should work hard for 'A' level instead!

Congrats to Allan who's the top scorer of the school! And also to geok woon, eleen, fahmi, aaron, yiqing, ling yi, desmond, eng tong, meiqi, ching wei, suat kee and many more... who made it to the stage to receive the certificate from Ms Tham, not bad huh... Hahax =)

It's now more dilemmas for me. Gonna make a choice from the choices available. It's certainly not easy for me. Gonna go back to JJC to ask for advice from teachers and my friends on Monday...

Till then, bye! =]

dilemma

Just want to share what my civics tutor had discussed with our class during GP lesson which actually made my head nearly burst. It's basically about ethical dilemma in the medical aspect. I realised that it is really difficult for me to really make a choice between the two arguments when both are equally 'correct'.

I shall write about euthanasia first.

View 1: Euthanasia would be used as an abuse. The majority of people seeking euthanasia is very vulnerable and can easily be manipulated by ill-willed people. They believe in the 'right to live'. Legalising euthanasia is the catalyst for the wholesale destruction of human kind. They believe that people should die naturally.

View 2: Euthanasia is a matter of personal freedom. It is a form of relieving pain, both physical and emotional. They believe in the 'right to die', or the right to a 'good death'. The desire to have control over our lives is a fundamental part of our humanity. They would like to have a choice about how and when they die.

Next, I shall write about abortion.

View 1 (Pro-life): The right to life. Life begins at conception. At this stage, the embryo has individuality and uniqueness and the building blocks for the development of life. Abortion is homicide. Unless this homicide is justified, perhaps because it is neccesary to save the life of the woman, then abortion is murder.

View 2 (Pro-choice): The right to one's body. We cannot force others to donate blood or kidney to save another person. Thus, it has been argued that women cannot be forced to deliver unwanted children. A woman's right to control her pregnancy outweighs any right claimed for the embryo, which is seen as not yet having the full rights of a person. Abortion is a private decision.

Till now, I still cannot decide which view I should stand by... A dilemma indeed... Anyway, just don't let yourself fall into these problematic situations and there would be no dilemmas to vex about! =]

'O' Level results gonna release this Friday. Getting real nervous and worried~ Have been trying hard to be optimistic but dare not to set high expectations or I may get real disappointed to myself. Hope everything goes well ba~

(=

what a day~

Today is a tiring day. First lesson of the day is Chinese Language and Literature which is one of my favorite subjects. We had a so-called test on meaning of the words which are uncommon nowadays. And I won yanli! HAHAHA! The feeling is great. But actually okay only cos it's only her... Lolz! Then we had assembly by the principal and I'm not interested in what he said. After that, it's a History lecture and more than half of the studens pon class. The teacher was really angry. And really, History is not for me and I'll never ever take History as my examination subject. Then came the most torturing time - 2 hours of GP! The teacher was teaching how to identify Main Idea, Elab, Supporting Details and Summative Statement for the whole 2 hours. I really cannot take it for the last 45 mins or so. But then she talked to us about a event organised by the Social Development Society or something for the university students which match-make people in order to help people to get their future husband/wife. And she mentioned that mostly are those desperate people who participated it so we can imagine the kind of peple who would participate this kind of event, and the class laughed. At least this helps to kill the boredom.

Later, I had E-club. Lazy to elaborate on it... Basically I went there with a stomach filled with only a single roti prata. And I was feeling the hunger pangs every now and then. And I'm still feeling it now~ Lolx.. Alright, shall stop here~ (=

Happy 17th Birthday to me!

17 years ago a baby boy was born at the time 8.08a.m. celebrated his birthday today and he is me. [sehx!] LOLZ!

I wanna thank 07L02 for their efforts in celebrating my birthday today! I really really appreciate it A LOT A LOT! THANKS! ^^ Your sincerity touched me alot.. The cake was delicious! =)' Love it! I love cakes! hahax... And thanks for the card! Some messages are really funny which I like :) Thanks yanli and yang ce for the presents! *heeeeheeeeheeee* And thanks everyone who wished my Happy Birthday, whether verbally or through SMSes! Thanks you! [A sentimental guy I am.. haha]

So I have to accept the fact that I turned 17 today. haiz.. it's so oLD already. Time really flies~~ getting older every day... I guess I just have to learn to embrace it which I dun think I can.. lol... A cruel reality to me. HaHa!

Anyway, after school, yanli, eng tong, li ning and me went to a place to get our goods for JJ Affinity. The venue and the things are not disclosed since it is a competition between the 4 Business Units (BU) within Entreprenuerial Club (E-Club) to see which BU gets the most profit one month later. We are from BU3. So BU3 Jia You!! E-Club is getting busier. There is a meeting tomorrow till 6 p.m. to discuss about our marketing strategies, as well as a talk by someone about being an entreprenuer. I think it's ok la though I'm not really that interested. Treat it as a learning journey ba..

Thursday will be a treat by yanhong! Yay! Can feel free to eat what I want liao! Friday will be a session with the principal and the CLEP (or iLEP). Dunno what it's about but still have to go, unwillingly. Sunday maybe going to S.H.E. autograph session. After that, just one more week, O level result will be released. Feeling a little nervous liao. =/


Ok, shall stop here. Ta Ta!

quick update

Here's a quick update as requested by eunice & mengli.. haha...

School to me has been boring these days. Partly is because only introduction of various subjects were being told to us during every lecture which I am not interested at all. But the major part is because I'm a Science enthusiast. I joined Arts stream is just to try out the Arts subjects during this PAE period. As expected, History serves to only bore me. History is my least favourite subject out of my subject combination (my subject combination for PAE: general paper, chinese language & literature, economics, mathematics and history).

I have no comments about GP cos it's all about arguing your stance and it's similar to English lesson when I always write argumentative essay. For Chinese Language & Literature, my class just received a homework which is to be handed in this coming Wednesday. The homework is to write a 500-word essay about self-introduction! ===.=== What an exceptionally boring topic for me to write. Gonna write it during tomorrow's break.

For economics, I've started to like this subject cos to me it's getting more interesting. The only part which I hated this subject is that its examination format. That is, candidates of Economics papers have to write many essays! Dunno how many essays I've to write for just Econs lor. Think is 3 or 4...

And each and every of my subject (ecxept Math) requires me to write essay! I think i's about 10 essays altogether. I hate writing essay most. I hate writing many words. In secondary school, I never liked writing English composition and Social Studies essays. Now I have to write even more essays than ever. Moreover, the number of words requirement for each essay increases. -_-"

For Math, since I am only taking H1 mathematics, it's manageable. Now teaching about inequalities which is just like Sec 3 A.Math. I'm looking forward to new topics though.

Anyway, I'm trying to get used to the fact that essay is gonna be part of my life , at least in this first 3 months. Well, who knows, maybe I like to write essay after that. LOL.. (diaox.. so optimistic.. haha)

There're quite a number of things I like about JJC. Firstly, students, except on Monday, are not required to wear uniforms which makes us feel more comfortable. Secondly, we can rent equipments such as badminton, table tennis and volleyball to play after school. The hall is opened for use. It makes me look forward to the end of school every day! Haha.. Thirdly, it's the air-cons in the classroom. We are spared from the humidity, especially in the afternoon, or we'll be having a hard time trying to concentrate. Of course, the contents of the lessons taught is another issue. Lolz...

Alright, shall stop here for now~
More to update soon~


I don't know if I can overcome it. I don't even know exactly how you feel. I am lost.

Tonight

Tonight

Tonight we remember
The times that we spent here
The joy and the laughter that we shared

Tonight we cherish
The moments spent together
Because it's the only time we have

Look at us and see our smiles
This is where we all belong
I remember the times we shared together
Until my last December

Tonight ...

JJC Orientation Camp 1

Just came back from my 3D2N orientation camp held in JJC. Through this camp, I make a lot more friends in a shorter time. The majority of the JJCians are friendly and that makes bond-building an easier job. In my group, most of the guys are friendly, as well as LAME. Being LAME, to me, is a good thing. Simple reason: I am a lame person too. 0_o" Hence, everything is made easier. 'Ice is easier to break.!' Bond is thus easier to build!

Having had expeiences in organizing a few camps in Student Council in secondary school, I can understand that keeping events to run smoothly and follow according to the tight schedule is definitely not an easy task. You will need to have a clear and detailed planning and this has to be done early. You will also need to be able to foresee possible problems that may arise during the camp which would disrupt the events such as raining. Of course, there are many more factors needed to be completed and I shan't continue or it'll be boring...

On the 1st day of camp, I woke up at 5.28am just to get myself everything prepared for the camp, and of course not to be late as I, yanli & yangce had decided to meet up at JP bus interchange and I was late for 10+ minutes on the Admin Day. However, I still reach at 6.38am (6.30am is the meeting time). Fortunately, those 2 were later than me by 4 minutes. On the first day, the campers and the leaders played water bomb! It was indeed a MASS WATER BOMB! Many gallons of water was wasted though. LOL. We threw the water bombs at one another. It was fun cos of the fact that you are given a chance to wet people but at the same time you yourself would not want to get wet. Still, I got wet. All due to Alvin Lim! (not Alvin Lum... haha) All the campers have a great great afternoon. After dinner, the campers learnt many songs whereby some of them are composed by ex-JJCians. The lyrics of the songs are very meaningful indeed! To me, the most meaningful song is 'Tonight'. The first 2 stanzas of this song are already extremely meaninigful which talked about tonight is the last few moments we got to get together and after which, it is no longer that easy to gather together. Too bad I can't remember the lyrics. =/ The campers slept in the hall which was damn damn damn cold cos of the air-con surrounding us and kept blowing cold air which sank onto us. It's a hard time for me to endure the coldness "Brrrrr" through the night which was spposed to be the most comfortable and relaxing moments of the day. I even dreaded for the sun to rise and for the time to pass by faster.

We woke up at 5.45am for most campers. At around 6.45am, it was Physical Conditioning / Exercise time. The advisor of the camp, Mr Liow, invited some forigners to teach the rest how to speak the numbers 1 to 10 in their languages (German, Korean) and we'll learn them while doing pumping. X/... Overall, it was not as tough as I expected. *phew... Next event was a game involving not only water, but flour! Playing with flour in camp was not my first time and I knew how smelly and dirty that can be if you were to be in contact with flour. I even got scolded by my mum 2 years ago when I attended my 2nd Induction camp in secondary school, all beacuse of the flour! Hence, I kept myself a distance away from anyon who had a packet of 'dough' with them. In the end, I was successful! Yeah! LOL.. In the afternoon, we played a game which involved, again, water and flour. Again, I had to be alert at all time, making sure no flour was near me at all time. And again, I succedded. That saved many troubles asyou do not need to wash away the 'dough' when you get home. The nose is also spared from the stench produced by the flour.

We learnt about 6 mass dances in 2 days which were to be danced during the JJ Night on the 2nd night. Mass dances was my favourite event in the orientation cos I like to move my body. haha.. The councillors teaching us danced really great! They're cool! Christina, the councillor who taught us all the dance steps, is very patient and always keep her smiles. Though we were at times quite noisy, she was, still, patient and continued to put up her wide smiles. Thanks for that! I think it's been hard on her who needed to teach us patiently, remembering all the dance steps and to remind us the steps coming up while dancing. Her dance partner, Zhong Ru, is a talented councillor. He dances well and also plays the piano well! The other 2 councillors, Chengdi and Benjamin, who were the emcees talked really well. I think they have the potential to become hosts. [thanks kS for telling me their names ^^]

But learning 6 mass dances and remembering them in such a short time was not easy. Except those who had superb memory, most of us couldn't remember the steps and react fast enough. The moves were fast and we were also required to turn rounds quite a number of times. Still, all of us truly enjoyed the JJ Night.The decoration was grand with ballons floating and with the huge banner hanging at the stage. It's a bit squeezy though with almost 1000 campers and leaders there in the hall. At one time, the hall was damn warm that all of us were perspiring. Then, my friend told me that it was because the air-con couldn't work for some time. =.=" Everyone was very high. The atmosphere was great! I had a wonderful & memorable experience in the JJ Night.

The OGLs taught us many cheers which are really nice. "Yippa unde neh", "Chiwawa", "Xi Shua Shua", "Super Solid", "Ke Papa", "Bom Bom Pa", "We feel good!", "Yeah X3" and many many more... They also taught us many kinda claps. "Silent Clap", "Lame Clap", "Super Lame Clap", "Ghostly Clap", "Tommy Clap" and bla bla bla. LOLX...

Through this camp, I could see that all the councillors and OGLs had put in their best efforts into this huge project to make it fun and memorable for us. Their determination, passion and hardwork touch me alot. Having insufficient sleeping time and to have to still shout out loud and louder next morning is definitely not easy. I think all the organizing committee and the OGLs have done a superb job. OG 1 had left me a deep impression. All of us were strangers on the first day but we are now joking and laughing at one another! The changes we had gone through in such a short time are, well, amazing and fantastic! haha... =]]

the alchemy of life
JJ Orientation 2007

back after a long long time...

It's been a long time since I last blogged. Too many things had happened and I dunno where to start with! Anyway, first of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! A new year, a new beginning!

During the last 2 weeks, I've been going out with friends and also working as a flyers-distributer. I am only replacing my friends for the work and I worked only for 4 days. Altogether, I've earned $205. Not too bad for 4 days la. Haa.. Other times, I've been spending time with yanhong, yukai, sokteng and yanli. There's also a BBQ party on 27th Dec for all graduating students. The BBQ party is fun! It's since have been a long long time when we got together and prepare for such a party. Quite a lot of work need to be done before start of the party such as cutting fruits, heating up chocolates to get them to melt, washing plates, washing chicken wings and sting rays, preparing soup to get ready for steamboat and bla bla bla. But with teamwork, all of these were done in just a couple of time! The sense of satisfaction is great! =) I get to see many of the sec 4 friends. Many of them had their hair dyed / highlighted. Some are nice while others are...eh.. can be improved la. Lol...

Today went to IMM with my mum. I spent a total of S$111.60 after buying my clothes! First time spending such a large sum of $$$! So my 2007's first resolution is NOT to buy expensive things until February! I also need to spend $27+ for my concession as I need to attend lessons in JJC for PAE. I'm in Family 1, Orientation Group 1. My OGL is Gareth. Now I'm quite looking forward to the JC life and the Orientation Camp! But the camp costs $65 and yet again I need to fork out more money. =.=" After slacking for a month, now I think I am ready for the stressful and hectic lifestyle as expected in junior colleges. Once again, I'll be facing the STRESS and going to FORCE myself to MEMORISE FACTS for 'A' LEVEL!

(diao~)

It's a long post. Till then, bye! (",)

finally blog le

Alright decided to blog since so long never post le. Actually also nothing much to say la. haa... but cannot abandon my blog juust like that right. (Can't be like yeele... wahaha) Be kind. [sehx] lolx..

Have been watching Naruto on YouTube. Addicted liao! lolx.. Now I am at episode 108. Still a long way to go... Now Naruto should be at around episode 220 le. Hope I can close up the gap soon ba.

I'm also watching Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu led by Ella & Wu Zun. Also very nice! Actually I started to watch this show is because of Ella cos I'm a S.H.E. fan! Haax. The show is very funny and I would guarantee laugh every time I watch. Sad thing is the show is shown once every saturday in Taiwan. It should be at episode 4 but I only watch until episode 3. No time to watch episode 4. But I should be watching episode 4 tmr. yeah..

4 more days and the JC which I would be posted for PAE will be released. Wonder where I will be posted to ... Till then~ Byee!

New blogskin by Yanli!
Arigato Gozaimasu! :D

Woo! Hunter X Hunter! Gon and Killua! My 2 favourite characters in this anime!
OUSU!
watch if if u have not!

Now watching Naruto! "Heeeee Heeeee Heeeee" I like this *smile* from Uzumaki Naruto! *Heeeee Heeeee Heeeee* =D

let's reflect

你难以超越你的见识去判断他人．而你的见识又是何等浅薄！能与我们同甘不能共苦的人．会失去打开天堂门钥匙其中一把．学好做人的道理．
---------------------------

流浪在街头．望着过往的行人和霓虹灯庸懒的街道．不时传来的喧哗声让我感觉到自己原来可能是如此孤独．　徘徊在酒吧门口．在坠落的边缘挣扎．城市的天空被染上彷徨的色彩．每个人都尽情的挥洒自己的欲望．　耳机里传来熟悉的邓丽君歌声．唯美的声音把我带如彷徨无助迷失的世界里．　歌声的回忆像一把尖刀刺伤我的往事．　感觉生命在流失．　回头看看自己的脚印发现它们已经沉入寒水．　　灯光的倒影渐渐模糊．　忽然发现以前的时光不会再有！
---------------------------

行走在栋栋建筑间．大楼的阴影让我感觉沉重．感觉自己是这钢铁森林中的小鸟．　盲目地蹿着．　想离开．　想留下．　离开了这里．我能到哪儿去？留下来．我能活多久？　感觉快要窒息了．　也许该和那群大雁一起飞往远方！　用阳光来融化我内心的疲惫．　用海水洗去我身上的灰尘．

just feel sad

yay! just finished watching hunter x hunter! very happy with myself :) extremely nice.. Gon! & Killua! WOO~!!! but I have to watch the rest in Manga cos there's no more anime :/

yesterday went to school's open house with yanli. compared to previous years, there seemed to have lesser visitors to the open house. wonder why.. anyway, both of use, and together with yukai, went to JP to meet yanhong as we were going to vivo city! dunno why it's called 'vivo' but it sure attracts many ppl to go there.. later, sokteng came and joined us after she attended her dental appointment. so the five of us walked for hours round the vivo city. den, we went to tiong bahru plaza to continue our 'walk'. my back and legs and shoulders were feeling tired as i walked.. perhaps i am not used to walking for such long hours. lolx. after we settled our dinner at a nearby hawker centre, we went to the great world city to, again, continue our 'walk'! *.*" at last, we settled down at mac and began talking away..... finally at about 9.40pm, we went home. and i reached home aroung 10.15pm. quite zonked by then. but I watched the Survivor before I went to dream about nothing at about 12.05am.... Woke up at 10.30am and I slacked at home whole day watching hunter x hunter... and i live till now~~


i felt sad when u say those things and feel that way. i think i know how u feel. i think u missed those days. i think u haven't forgotten those memories. perhaps u thought u have to behave that way so that i would think that u've forgotten the past. i just felt that way from the way u speak, and also from my instincts. maybe u've been trying to tell me those things. though i hope they are just my imagination. i know i couldn't take it. but if i have to accept the reality one day when all is made clear, i think i will have to try very hard to accept it. i know i'm selfish. i'll still remain optimistic until the day comes if it has to be that way. then, i would not know how my life would be like. but u dun have to care.

muscle cramp

This morning, yanhong, yukai, sokteng, yanli and me went to yukai's condominium to swim! Initially, they wanted to go to gym but that is only for the residents. So we decided to swim instead... Had a great time laughing at one another on this and that.. lolx..

After that, we went to a nearby hawker centre to have our lunch. Then, we went to yanli's house and played majong and monopoly!! I had some experience in majong cos yanli, yanli's younger sis and her mum taught me when I went her house last time. I had 'beginner's luck' and I won $10+++ when I gamble with $$$ last time with chingwei, eleen and alvin. Ha! I really had to thank yanli's younger sis for helping me to win $$.. But I am not allowed to gamble anymore cos my parents forbid me to. This time played with, of course, sokteng, yanhong and yukai. yanhong, yukai and sokteng are all beginners, so yanli had to explain to them, while I sat there waiting for them to understand. We played a total of 10 rounds. The results are as follow:
Name (No. of rounds of winning)
sok teng (3)
yukai (3)
mingxian (4)
yanhong (0)
LOLZ.....

Then we played monopoly. Very fun!! ^_^ Very worried at the beginning cos I felt like I'm going to face bankruptcy soon. But as many ppl stepped into my territories, which I strongly welcomed them to, I had more $$$! Haha.. One trick I learnt from yanhong: If you stepped into "Go to jail", and had to miss 3 turns, then just miss the 3 turns. You'd just have to wait for ppl to 'visit' your territories 'obediently' and you get $ easily! Haa... At about 7pm, yanhong and me went home first to watch project superstar...

Feeling tired and frustrated now~

a day full of events

Today is a day packed with events!

This moring, I woke up at around 7.30a.m. to get ready to school for the PAE briefing. Till now, I still have not decided which JC to go to!!! So angry with myself cos I just cannot make up my mind on this three-month course. Like that then JAE how? lolx. I have no idea. But I would definitely make sure I complete my registration by tomorrow, no matter how! Yeap!

The briefing ended at around 9.30. Then went JP with yanhong & yanli to shop. After that, 3 of us took MRT going to Clementi KBox, again! haha. At the MRT, we met our sec 1 coordinator, Chermin, and another senior from 21st SC, Khairul. Long time never see them le. Think the next time we'll meet again is SLC '07 ba. The 3 of us waited outside the KBox for sokteng and yukai who came shortly. Then, we started to sing sing sing sing sing sing....... HAH.. Our KBox period was supposed to end at 2 p.m. But we left at only 2.30 p.m. It's just a norm for us. lolx.

After Kbox-ing, I went home to change to 23rd batch tee and went to school for 23rd SC farewell party! Can see lots of efforts were put into this farewell party by the sec 2s and 24th SC. Hereby, I would like to say 'thank you!'. =) The games are fun, though we perspired. -.-" lolx. Thanks for the thoughtful gifts too!! Hmm, I missed the dance performed by the sec 2s! sigh. The people sitting around me said that the dance was cute, which made me really want to watch. But too bad, I was late. =x.

At the end of farewell, Ms Tang spoke to us. Once again, I was touched by her speech regarding her appreciation towards 23rd SC. I think whatever 23rd SC did would not have been possible without Ms Tang, who was indeed an inspiring teacher. She is one of the teachers whom I respect most. :) Before we left, the School Spirit and Moral Leader, yanhong, led us our batch cheer and Student Council cheer. Looks like that was the last time he, being the School Spirit and Moral Leader, to lead cheers le ba~

Straight after the farewell, I had to rush home cos my family was going to the temple in Teban to pray. Though I am a free-thinker, I would just go with my family. It's been a long time since we went to the temple. I like going to the temple last time cos there were many fish that were long. But just now when we went there, no more fish le. :s So I started to light up the joss sticks and start to pray the 'gods'. The dust or whatever that were produced as the joss sticks burnt got into my eyes, and my right eye was actually tearing while praying the 'gods'. As both of my hands were not clean as I was holding the joss sticks, I could not wipe my tears away. So my mum helped me wipe my tears away from my face! hahaz.

After burning the papers (dunno what's that called) to the 'whoever' (also dunno the purpose), we went to the other side of the temple, where you can collect water by kneeling down in front of the 'god'. I have always liked this and I would collect the water in a cup and drink it up. Then, my mum and sis would collect flower petals for us to put together with water to shower. Though I dun see the purpose of taking a shower with petals, but I just follow my parents' instructions. After all, it gives a different feel la.. HAHA.. Then, we shake the cylinder with 100 sticks in it, such that until one of the sticks had escaped from the cylinder and dropped on the floor. After that, we would take a pink slip according to the number which is written on the stick. The pink slip tells you your current situation and future, whether they are good or bad.

I daresay my family is a very humorous and funny family! All of us have our own unique way of creating laughters! HAHA. I was the first to shake the cylinder, cos I 'kiasu'! lolx. Guess what, I had a BAD for my first time. Though I am a free-thinker, and I dun care about such 'prophecy' at all, I refuse to admit 'defeat' by my luck. I decided to try a sceond time. So I shake the cylinder again, and a stick fell off. And I got
BAD again! =.=" Again,refusing to admit 'defeat', I shake again. This time, finally, I dd not get BAD, nor did I get GOOD. I got MEDIUM. Haish... After 3 tries, I did not attempt to shake the cylinder anymore. At least I've escaped from BAD.

For my sis, she was 'lucky' lo. Her first try was already GOOD. For my mum, her first try was, like me, BAD. HAHA. Then, like me, she wanted to try again!! I laughed until dunno wad man!! The scene was so funny. She also dun wan to have a BAD lot. Her second try was a 'success', she got a GOOD. For my dad, after shaking many many many many times before 1 stick fell out, he got a BAD. So he decided to buy a a candle which is in the pineapple-shaped glass. Later, he shake again but unfortunately, he got the same thing. lolx. After that, he thought that burning away that pink slips would help.. Hmm, superstitious.

My mum then also decided to burn away her BAD pink slip. Then, the hilarious scene happened. After she put the slip on fire, she intended to place the burning paper at another place. Guess what, the paper has almost burnt finish and the fire caught her fingers. (When I saw this, I couldn't control but to laugh!) Then, no choice, she had to release her fingers and both me and her, as well as the person in-charge of the temple, watched the burning paper falling to the ground, becoming ashes. (I was laughing like mad, and had to run to another place to continue laughing!) Imagine the person in-charge looking at us burning his property in front of him and moreover, ashes falling that dirty the floor, what kind of expression could he have given? I didn't see his expression because I didn't want to. My mum must be feeling embarrassed but she just acted nothing happened. HAHA..

After that, we took bus 30 home. The bus was super duper cold! My mum long wanted to release her bladder and moreover, we had to sit in the cold bus for 15 mins before reaching our home. She told me that the coldness made her even more want to release her bladder and more difficult to hold it! It was extremely hilarious man! HAHAHAHA.. After alighting, I couldn't see properly with my spectacles as my spectacles became blurred due to condensation of water vapour on my colder lens. (alright, i know no mood for science...) I enjoyed walking with my fogged spectacles though.

Finally, my day ends...

Before I end my entry, yup, bibi is right! The white cat said 'meow'.. Haha.. lame.. but congrats la.. lolx...

bored...

Bored~~~ Nowadays have been waiting for news if any company has vacancy for me.... Or I'll go and look for jobs in newspaper... Tomorrow will be PAE and farewell. Wed - Fri will be class chalet but I haven't decided if I would go.. =S

One lame quiz to share:
One white cat fell into water and a black cat saved the white cat from drowning. The white cat said something to the black cat. Guess what the white cat had said?

shopping

Tired~ Just came back from Jurong Point where my mum, sis and me went shopping! =p Had been walking for many hours and my legs are now having their rest. lolx.

Currently, I'm reading a book "Notes from an even Smaller Island" by Neil Humphreys. This book is about how Neil perceived Singapore when he flew here from England. It is a funny book which suggested some blatant prejudices against some unique characteristics as well as the idiosyncracies of Singaporeans such as 'kiasuism' and that Singaporeans are generally shorter than Englishmen which cause him some inconveniences, and all the things he found 'strange' about 'aunties' and 'uncles'. He wrote this book first as a outsider, then as an insider, thus he actually managed to portray some funny facts about Singaporeans. I feel that he is actually talking to me directly about his experiences in Singapore and I feel that I am 'involved' in this book. Haha. It's a good book to read during my holidays!

Alright, nothing much le...shall stop here then. Byeeeee. (:

O LEVEL IS OVER!

MY O LEVEL WAS OVER YESTERDAY! CHEERS!!! But blog today cos yesterday's exam last till 5.10p.m. and I was mentally exhausted (I was yawning and yawning when I was doing my Chem Paper 1), so slept till 8.30 p.m. and missed half of Project Superstar show! -.-"

This morning went to KBox at Clementi with yukai! Long time, almost a year, never go KBox already.. And we sang sang sang sang....... haha.. After that, we went to a bookshop which is above the KBox. You know what we did there? For the approximately 2 hours we spent there, we browsed most of the things that were on sale there, such as kid's books, 'Who wants to be a millionaire' quizzes, Chinese Chess sets, recorders, pens and pencils, files and bla bla bla. In the end we bought NOTHING and left. o_O About 5 plus, I took bus 154 home and yukai joined yanhong and zhichiaw, who had finished their O level then, to Orchard Road.

Next Tuesday will be PAE. You know what? I REALLY REALLY REALLY have NO IDEA whether I should go to JC's 3-month course or not. I want to work to earn $$$ so that I can spend and to get an experience of working! On the other hand, I don't wish to miss lessons also. People say JC is many times more hectic than secondary school life. Missing 3 months of lessons means that I might have a HARD time catching up later.
Moreover, people say that General Paper is not easy. If I'm going to JC, then I would have to prepare for GP NOW since I definitely have much room to improve on the language. AAGGRRHH! Aiyo, looks like eventually I'm going to see where my friends would be going before I can decide... In a DILEMMA~~ *sigh.

Life is such.

By the way, yukai said he'll help me find a job! YEAH! I'm so happy to have a job cos this is the first time I will be going to earn $$$ with my own hands! Surely gonna be very proud of myself when I receive my first pay! hee... I just want to find a job as soon as possible! Haha...

after 1 week of O level...

Just came back from school after spending 2 H 30 MIN taking E.Math Paper 2.... I have got 1 h 5 min left to check on the paper!! Hahaz.. 4 marks dunno how to do... Hope no careless mistakes for other questions...

6 more days and I am free from secondary school's textbooks!! Woohoo~~

Dunno how I'll fare for O level~~ (worried...:/)
But I'll remain optimistic (=

Still have A.Math, Physics and Chemistry papers... Jia you to all!

"Welcome every morning with a smile.

Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday.

Be a self-starter.

Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day.

Today will never happen again.

Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all.

You were not born to fail."

2 days ago was Sec One Induction Camp '06. Some 23rd stayed overnight and we had a 'Study Marathon'! Cool! Sabrina and I had a bet: Study throughout the night and no sleeping, or owe a forfeit. And the result was: we had a TIE... haha! In fact, besides us, sok teng, desmond, yanhong and some others never slept too! This was the second time in my life which I had a sleepless night! Yay, I did it again! though there wasn't any great benefit...but we helped to patrol round the school and make sure no strangers lurking.. hahaz.. doing a service to the school eh.. while the teachers and campers were sleeping. Mr Loh woke up during PT and he praised 23rd for taking good care of the school! He even used 'mushy' words which made my hair stand! lolx :p

Talked to some Sec 1 councillor trainees and find some with much potential! I remembered talking to one (i forgot the name) whose brother is Pei Yong, the Sec One coordinator of the 18th SC. Also, talked with another boy, think the name is Cheng Yong, who likes to DEBATE. Hahaz.. Both definitely have the aptitude and the potential! To the Sec 2 councillors, I think all of you can definitely do better :) Of course, some of you have surpassed yourself and SHINE! That's GREAT!! Though all of us have high expectations on your batch, what's important is to do your very best and always learn from one another and shine as a batch. Put yourselves into other people's shoes. Never think only about yourselves. Find solutions to all misunderstandings asap. Student Council is a big family, it is not segregated by batches. Differences in styles of working are not unexpected, however, remember that all of us have a COMMON GOAL in mind, everyone is working hard towards the common goal, and the unique working styles from each person when combined together would produce really good results! Jia You! Shine with Confidence, Lead with Pride!

O level is so near. But the big problem is: the nearer the examination, the less I want to study! [The motivation to study is inversely proportional to the time left to taking the O level...] OMG. I know this should never happen but I just feel it that way. Think what Ms Phua once said has happened to me, that is, no more energy left after working for so hard in the past, especially for Prelims... Must really get back to myself once more as soon as possible! Good luck!

late now!!

Went to the eastern side of Singapore to celebrate my cousin's birthday yesterday! The condominium where we held the celebration is really an ostentatious one-the Changi Way Condominium (if I remembered correctly). The swimming pool is approximately 200m long and at least 6-8m wide. There is even music being played inside the swimming pool! That is, if you swim deep enough, you will be able to hear it, which the music from what I heard is a piece of tune from Mozart! COOL!! Also, there is a cinema, which the size is about the size of the cinema at Jurong Entertainment Centre, showing movies every day. There are a number of playgrounds, which are similar to those found in the Jurong Lake Park, scattered around the condominium area. There is a air-conditioned self-study room too. It is really relaxing sitting on the comfortable sofa inside the room, especially when you look up at the ceiling which is about 6m high! After the celebration, we went to the owner's house (ppl called her AiLing). Her house is really nice and comfortable! It is air-conditioned, with a big plasma television and a really comfortable sofa! The whole decoration is fabulous-simple but extremely nice. You would love yourself in every single bit if you were to live in such a condominium because you really get to enjoy your life living in such an environment! Really!

graduation night

Yesterday was Graduation Night. When I was sitting in the hall, I was reminiscing the past 4 years in JSS. It's been an enjoyable and a fruitful period of my life. I never regret joining Jurong Secondary School! I'll always remember the caring teachers who would always nagged at us because they are concerned and worried for us, the craziest classmates and colleagues who brought laughters to me, as well as the fond memories I had in JSS. I vaguely remember the 1st day in JSS when I was a blur 12-year-old boy first time stepping into a much bigger school than in my primary school. I even imagined that I might get lost! Then, I went up to the temporary block for flag-raising. After that, it's our orientation which I had really enjoyed very much. The 21st SC councillors who were in-charged of our class were Ahmad, Serene Wong and Shir Gi. They were very nice and caring towards our class (1/3 '03)! I think that's all I remember on my first day of school and almost forget what activities we played during orientation, but I know they must be fun! =p

After the ceremony ended, it's BuFfEt TimE! But the sad thing was I ate only a little of the food. I spent most of the time taking photos with my friends!! =)' My primary school friends: Shi Hua and Alanmanda. My lower sec friends: Wenxing and yukai. My student council friend who has quitted due to his tight schedule: Rene Jr. And of course my sec 2 councillors, 23rd Student Council, Class 4/5, Explorers, as well as my teachers!! Had a wonderful time yesterday night! Wanna say A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL! (=

haish...

Oh!! I can't eat properly!!! All because of the 2 ulcers! The ulcer that causes me trouble is the one on my right side of my tongue which is in contact with my molars. This makes it inevitable for me to have to slide my tongue against my teeth when I am chewing or swallowing. I even have difficulty to make the food into a bolus! It is extremely painful yea know! This morning, I couldn't force myself to finish my bread anymore after only one bite, and I went to school with an empty stomach. Though the people around me did not notice, but I do heard my hunger pangs quite a few times -_-" Now, the ulcers are still painful. I don't think that I can eat any sort of hard food already until my ulcers have disappeared. For tonight's dinner, I think I would have to eat porridge instead. (Good news partially cos I dun have to use energy to chew...haha)


Mr Lau is really angry with 4-5 cos we left yesterday afternoon when we were supposed to complete a Chinese High Physics Mock Exam at 2.30pm. *sigh Many of us did not feel like taking anymore mock exams, and also there were rumours saying that the paper is postponed (which is not the case in reality), and thus many started to leave. I did ask gw if it was really postponed and he said 'yes'. So, seeing that most of the class had disappeared and with the 'confirmation' from gw, I left too and proceeded to the canteen. After a quite some time, Mr Lau came to the canteen and met some 4-5 ppl and asked us why nobody was at the classroom. From his looks, I could tell that he was truly disappointed with 4-5. Moreover, my weakest science is Physics~~~ *sigh again...


After prelim, the days in school are to do mock papers nearly everyday and for every lesson. It's making me more and more tired. Especially when after a particular lesson, teachers would just give us about 5 sets of other schools' prelim papers for us to practise. Like yesterday, Mrs Tong gave us 5 sets of Chemistry papers while today, Ms Tang also gave us 5 sets of SS papers. Looks like all 16-year-old boys and girls are destined to go through such process whereby you need to struggle with your academics and handle the stress which is increasing as the exams are nearing [Bio O level Practical next Tue!]. Besides that, you also need to have a strategy in which you have to pay more attention to certain subjects which you are more confident with and that you will score better rather than subjects which you know that you might not be able to improve that much despite the efforts that you put in.

Xiao S and SHE

Found a video in which Xiao S and S.H.E. sang Ru Guo De Shi together [originally sung by Fan Wei Qi and Angela Zhang]. If you want to LAUGH OUT LOUD, then watch it!!! Really hilarious! Watch out for Xiao S!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! =D

What are wasted opportunities?

From now till O level, I'll just type some essays which I think is good in my blog. (So not considered blogging la hor...haha) Hope by typing them out, I can learn some vocabulary and good phrases and apply them in O! Heex...


What are wasted opportunities?


How often have we heard of someone say that they have wasted an opportunity? There is a mixture of regrets, of wistfulness... in fact, it could be even one of pure frustration. For example, a businessman may have been given a good proposition but did not take up the offer. Later on, he lived to regret it.


What exactly is an opportunity? It is a chance to have or to do something which one thinks would be beneficial to one. For example, a student may be offered scholarships to study overseas. Everyone tells him that it is a good opportunity for him to further his lot in life as an overseas degree is deemed prestigious and augurs well for his future career. However, he may not take it up if his family does not allow him. Then many will say that he had wasted an opportunity.


Opportunities are like this... you have to recognise tham and hope that by seizing them, they will lead to certain desired outcomes.


Opportunities arise as one goes through life, whether at home, in studies or later on at work. Those who are born rich or educated parents have a head start in life. A rich son can enter a better school or an educated parent can give informed advice to his children. It is up to these fortunate people to seize the opportunites presented to them or these would be wasted.


Hence, opportunities present themselves at certain times. The person who does not seize them would have wasted these opportunities. However, one must be ready for the opportunites when they present themselves. A person who has prepared himself by acquiring the right qualifications and work experience would be well equipped to seize the opportunity if the job he desires comes by. He would not let such an opportunity slip away and wasted it.


Therefore, opportunities should be easily taken. There is a saying, 'fortune favours the brave'. After all, there is no harm trying.


Life presents us with opportunites. It is up to us to seize them. Even if they tured out with undesirable outcomes, one would not blame oneself as after all, one would have tried.


What would be sad for one to hear would be about people who bemoan their lack of opportunities or not seizing opportunities which would have led to desirable outcomes. We can only commiserate with the person who says that he should have married that good girl or that he should have pursued that course which would have otherwise led to fortune. But luck is the game of life and if you were to ask every person, he would have his tale of wasted opportunities.


[END]


After reading this essay, I think that we should seize each opportuniy that is presented to us. Even if you failed to achieve the deisred outcomes, the most important thing is that you have tried for you would never know what would have happened unless you do it. After all, the experience which you have gained is invaluable and you did not lose at all because you gain something from it. =)

Many of life's failures are people who did not realise how close they were to success when they gave up.

Prelim L1R5 = 12

Alright... Finally know my L1R5 for prelim today... Think it's okay la but I think it can be better...

My L1R5 is 12. Glad that I improved from mid-year~

Gonna work hard for O Level!!! JIA YOU!!! ;)


No more blogging during this crucial period le~~~

results

SIGH*** Today get back my horrendous results...


sad-----------------------

prelim results

Finally, Prelim exam is over. BUT the BIG THING is only FIVE weeks away from now!!! GCE 'O' Level!


Got back some of our results on Thurs and today. For me, I'm quite glad for some of my subjects but at the same time, feel that I could score better.


Firstly, let's talk about English. It was a total surprise to me when I found out that I scored 40/60 for Paper 1. Actually, I could have got 41/60 but becaues of my wrong format in my letter writing, the teacher deducted 1 mark. Haiz, never gonna let this happen in O level! I was pretty shock that my compo which I spent less than half an hour rushing through it can achieve 20/30. I never expect it to turn out this way. Anyway, the highest in our class is Fahmi who scored 48/60! If not for his wrong format which, like me, got 1 mark deducted, he would have scored 49/60. Hope that my Paper 2 can score a bit better than mid-year so that I can achieve my aim for English...


Next, Chinese. Only get back Paper 2 today. After adding back my 6 marks which Mdm Oh had missed, I got 60/70 for Paper 2. Aiya, my Paper 3 is merit and my Paper 1 didn't do well, dunno how I would eventually fare for Chinese.


A.Math. Got back Paper 1 only as Paper 2 has not marked finish. I am glad that I improve from F9 in mid-year to the current low B4 (49/80). However, I think that I did worse for my Paper 2 than my Paper 1. OMG...... *Pray~~~


Physics.I also improved in Physics, though my grade is still not satisfactory. I improved from D7 in mid-year to B4. The paper that pulled me down is Paper 2. I scored a low 41/80, just pass... In contrast, Allan scored 70/80! I was like WAH!!! when I heard the news. Dunno why but I just cannot fully understand some of the concepts... Aaarrrggghhh.....


Chemistry.Heex...I improved in Chemistry too. After calculating my marks in percentage, I scored 69.83333333 as shown in my calculator. I was like *ARRGGHHH!!! Just 0.17 mark then I can get A2 for Chemistry! But it was lucky that Mrs Tong said she would consider rounding off the marks. Even she knew and remembered that I scored 69.8 when I asked her if she would really round off our marks. Hope she would round off so that I can have 1 point less in my L1R5. *Please round off~~~please......


Biology.Yeah...got A1 for Biology. But it was a low A1 which is 76 percent. Haiz, can't get high marks for my Practical...I was fed up when I didn't get A1 in mid-year but finally, my A1 is back. [Ms Koh, how come you dun believe that I scored A1 for your subject??!!! v_v;;] But still, I need to work harder for O level as with this low A1, I may not be able to achieve A1 in O level after moderation as other schools may be better... *Jia you


Still have Combined Humanities, E.Math, EL Paper2 and A.Math Paper 2 yet to be given back to us. Hope I can score well...(",)


No matter how we fare for our Prelims, our ultimate goal is to score well in our O level. Keep positive and with the belief and determination we have, we would be able to succeed =)

Nice songs!

EXTREMELY NICE SONGS!

有你真好 by 范玮琪 & 杨丞琳

一半的我 by 范玮琪



唉唷喂 唉唷喂

为何心那么憔悴

唉唷喂 唉唷喂

就让我远走高飞

一路走来有多美

都化作了片片层灰



Chorus:
一半的我 跟时间作对

一半的我 却觉得好累

看你为我努力点缀

掩饰不完美



一半的爱 比想像珍贵

一半的路 却少了你陪

两个人太多事与愿违

我不想理会

唉唷喂...(别让我心碎)



谁的泪爱的累

让勇敢的人心碎

恨过谁无所谓

远行的人不后悔

爱总是百转千回

谁会陪我直到天灰

爱总是百转千回

谁会陪我直到天灰

prelims

Finally, one week of Prelim is over. BUT, it will only end on next Wednesday. KAMBATE!


On Mon: EL Paper I - Kanasai man! I did e situational writing first. But, I spent too much time on it. Really too MUCH! In the end, I spent less than half an hour on my Compo! Oh my god, I don't even dare to imagine the kind of quality of work that I've given to the teacher! I wonder which teacher would mark my paper. People say that our scripts are picked by random and marked by the English teachers. Hope it's not Ms ~~~... After that was SS - I did a mess on the reliability quesiton! I seem to be contradicting myself such that after I rushed through the question, I had no idea at all on what exactly I'm writing about! Next was E,Math Peper I - Lost quite a lot of marks here and there. But just HOPE that I can secure my A1...


On Tue: Bio Paper II - I was tricked by the question on food chains! SigH... For the other questions...hmm.. really dunno how I'll fare~~ After that was Bio Paper I - Luckily I checked man! Actually I just randomly checked and so lucky me that I spotted 2 questions that I was nearly tricked! And I changed in time. I was even shading the correct option when Ms Tang said "Time's up!". Woo..at least I 'save back' my 1 mark. The setter: Mrs Ng. You're tricky.. Lolz..


On Wed: E.Math Paper II - Dunno why but I had little impression on this paper. I think shd be alright ba... Next was EL Paper II - The 2 passages were easy to understand. BUT, the problem was I dun give what the questions require, resulting in a huge loss of marks. Hope that miracles would happen just like what had happened in MYE.. haha...


On Thurs: Physics Paper II - Guess I'll flunk this paper aGaiN! Ok, dun wanna talk about Physics.. Next was Geography - Hope I crapped enough points! Every point is worth only 1/2 mark! I had written whatever I could memorise. Well, Geography is all about crapping... Really...


On Fri: Chinese Paper I & II - I'll not score well. I know that. Well, just seem that I lost what I could do for this subject. Forget it. Next was A.Math Paper I - Think I can pass provided that there's no careless mistakes made - none at all. Hope my efforts would pay off. The teachers even gave our paper back as they wanted us to spot questions for Paper II as normally in O level, questions tested in Paper I would not be tested again in Paper II. So topics that will be tested in Paper II will be: Logarithm, Relative Velocity, Kinematics (Differentiation and Integration), Surds, Radian, Quadratic Funtions and perhaps Factors theorem and Linear Law. Need to buck up on Relative velocity and kinematics. And cannot confuse differentiating with integrating. And must rmb to add + c... *Worried


Next Mon will be: Chemistry Paper I & II
Tue: A.Math Paper II
and finally the last day (Wed): Physics Paper I.


Last few papers already... Endure!

Prelims so near!

Just 9 more days to Prelims!

I really hope that I am able to clear all my doubts of various subjects before the start of Prelims.

I need to get to know more about A.Maths. xp

Hope I can do really well and up to my expectations for the Prelims. =)

library

Just taken my shower after coming back from Jurong East library...

I reached at JE library at 10am sharp just as the window doors of the library slide open and there rush in the crowd of the 'kiasu' people who had been waiting outside, ready to find for tables and chairs... Though Izzat, Siti, Fahmi, Yan Hong and me were among the crowd of people, sadly, we did not manage to find a table for us. -__-" And so we settled at a corner on the 4th floor, also the noisiest floor of the library.

I did Chung Cheng High School's A.Math Prelim papers the whole day in the library. My concept of the topics is not strong enough, and thus met many many problems solving them. But after knowing the methods to go about solving them, I think my concepts of the topics are reinforced. Just hope that I won't forget them in my coming prelims and O levels. PRACTICE is the key to succeed in A.Math. Looks like I have to squeeze out extra time for A.Math...

On the way home in the bus, I did Physics TYS on the topic Practical Electricity. It was the only time when I touch Physics today because I have been cracking my head on A.Math questions... Now brain cells are zonked!

Gonna start doing my SS notes, as well as notes on some fo the topics of Physics which I think are the most important tomorrow. Hope I'll be able to concentrate!

=]

new skin!

For about an hour, finally found a satisfactory skin! ( =wasted an hour of my studying time, i know that) But it doesn't matter to me because I know that I won't study also..Oops.. Well, I'll compensate that tomorrow. I'm going to Jurong East library tomorrow with yan hong.. I'm going to conquer A.Math & Physics! [Hope I succeed...]

Prelim is now so so so so so near! So near that I sometimes even see shadows of prelim exam papers. Bless me pleaseeee.... (=

Suki Sushi

Long time never blog already. All due to the preparation of O level English Oral and Preliminary examination. Sec 4s life........

Anyway, school closes half-day because we participated in the NDP 2 weeks ago and thus we are granted half-day off. So Yuan Kang, Ching Wei and me went to Lot 1 at Choa Chu Kang and had our lunch at Suki Sushi! Heex... Our initial aim, or rather Yuan Kang's aim, was to finish 36 plates of food so as to break the record. In other words, he wanted us each to finish 12 plates of food so that he would feel satisfied with himself. -_- All of us were very full but the determined Yuan Kang still wanted to break the record. Ching Wei and me watched him eat, looking at his agony he was experiencing when he forced himself to eat despite the fact that he was full too. In the end, the 'mission' FaiLeD... Lolz...

Now need to study for tomorrow's Chemistry Practical Prelim Exam. The stupid thing is that I still need to take my English Comprehension test after my Chem Practical. *sigh... And next Monday will be Physics Practical, and Wednesday, Biology Practical Exam. Good Luck to everyone!! (=

anything

I'm just typing whatever I feel like typing. You may not understand...

WHY??? Stupid. Stress up now. But I just don't feel like dong anything. For the fact that the current state that I am in proves that. Feeling extremely lazy. I don't want to care, if I can. Too bad la. It can't be changed anymore. Think too much. Do too less. That's the consequence. I don't want to accept, but left with no choice. Need to be a realist, though desire the ideal. Happy or sad, time goes by as it has always been, and life goes on. That's the cruelty of the world. Want the ways things to go as you hope, but it never become what you hope to be. I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I'm just feeling that I've let down the people around me. I wonder why do they care so much. It makes me uneasy and feel pressurized. I have always thought that I can face the situation bravely. However, I am too naive. I realise that I can't. It's too late. People will not be as what they are in the past. They change as time passes. The feeling is different. I always wonder why do we have to face so much things in life that almost make you feel that you are useless, make you look pathetic, make people to feel sorry for you - and this cycle continues. As you grow up, you have to face more difficult situations and it will become more tedious to resolve them. Perhaps that is the price we have to pay for being highly intelligent organism. Everyone aims high and spends much of their time slogging their guts out to prove themselves worthy and capable, when the roles of living things in the Earth are just to be born, pass down their genes, and die.

Now, things are not as that simple anymore. This is an ever-changing world which becomes more and more complicated. Our roles: accept it, whether you like it or not. Diploma is important to survive. A degree is even more preferable in this realistic society. At least a certificate is needed in order to survive in this competitive world. Human, a mammal evolved so much so that we have no natural abilities to defend ourselves, has to be made to know as much of this world as possible so that we are able to survive. For yourself? For your family? For your friends? For the country? What's exactly the purpose?

I wonder...

tests!

Tomorrow (3/8): A.Math test (Integration and its Application)
Friday (4/8): E.Math test (whole syllabus)
Next Tuesday (8/8): My English Prelim Oral

I really need a lot of GOOD LUCK! (",)

jia you!

Had Physics remedial today from 08 30 to 10 45. Mr Lau went through Electromagnetism and Cathode Ray Oscilloscope structured questions in the ten-year series. I can feel that he is worried about our understanding of Physics when he was talking to us about the correct attitude and correct ways to study Physics, since Physics is our class's weakest science. To me, any remedial of any subject will definitely be beneficial to me. It certainly aids me in the understanding of the concepts. Perhaps the only barrier is my memorisation. It is, after all, with what you memorise of the subject that you can answer the questions during examination. *~*

After that, I went to Jurong East Library to study with my friends (Yuan Kang, Yanli, Eleen, Yang Ce, Yan Hong, Yu Kai, and many 23rd SC plus 4/5 friends were there too). It is as if a study gathering. To many, library will be their place to go every day after school and during weekend. To me, it is only weekend that I will go library to study, since I need a couple of hours of afternoon nap after school. We stayed there mugging till the library was going to close. It was very cold in the library that everyone of us was complaining while trying hard to concentrate. Nonetheless, we still like the environment as it provides a conducive environment for us to study where no where else can provide. You know what, I finally understand how to solve questions on heat capacity! Lolz. Thanks to Yuan Kang lo. It is a tiring day for me after facing problems after problems the whole day. Begin with the end in mind. It is worthwhile after all.

Soon, common tests are coming. Geography test next Monday. Other tests are coming up. Science Practical Prelims are coming up. 3 more weeks to my English O Level Oral Examination. 6 more weeks to Preliminary examination. Then, it will be O level Science Practical and finally O Level Written papers. It is the last lap already. Jia you! =)

LCD

21st July: Annual Leaders Commencement Day. 23rd SC stepped down = 24th SC took over = Sec 2 councillors ended their probation!

Leaders Commencement Day: Enjoyable & terrible day for me. -_-" Ironic? lolx.

Finally, it's the day for 23rd SC to step down while 24th SC was officially formed today. Mixed feelings. Happy that all the sec 2 councillors have received their ties and tiepins, and also the formation of 24th SC, but sad that we may have lesser time spent with one another. OK, let's face the reality of life and life has to move on. We went through the procedures: firstly, various CCA leaders were recognized to the whole school, followed by the receiving the ties and tiepins by sec 2 councillors, receiving of certificates, collar badge and plaques by 23rd SC, and finally the officially taking over of the 24th SC. After about 1 hour, the ceremony ended, and it's photo-taking session for the councillors! Quite fun while taking photo [keeping our memories of one another]. Especially during the batch photo-taking, there are many cameras ready to shoot us. The 'cameramen' and 'camerawomen' stood in one line ready to take us, and caused us being lost in the direction in terms of where we were supposed to look at as we did not know which camera would shoot us. LOL. Nevertheless, it's really a fun experience. [Gonna 'steal' photos of us from the others when they upload it, haha]

Then, just as when everything I thought was going to be alright, a sudden surprise shocked me! Though I did expect it to happen to me even before the commencement of LCD, but when I saw the sec 2s seem 'normal' and that we were having fun taking photos, I thought that my 'disaster' was never going to happen. Out of sudden, a group of my Sec 2s called me out when I was busying helping others to take photos. When I saw both their evil looks and grins, which I believed that they were trying hard to hide, I suddenly realize what's going to happen to me in just a while. They were trying hard to carry me while I was fighting hard to escape. I looked at the other 23rd SC and you know what, NONE of them came to 'help' me out and were even happily continuing taking their photos, as if nothing had happened! >.< Too bad lo, 1 against so many boys, confirm lose. And there I was being carried to the toilet. After that, the very first thing they did was aiming to take off my pants! My hands were held tight behind my back by some of the boys while 2 other boys attempted to take off my pants, while the rest of the boys, though not 'joining' in literally, but was watching happily, I think. I clearly heard a boy even said," Where is the zip huh?" !!! -_-" The boy who said it was a NCC boy [I am kind enough not to disclose your name... haha]. Within a short while, it's 'over'. Then, I received a skirt which I knew was yangce's. The problem is I couldn't zip it up fully. I was forced to walk out, parade as what they would say, with my skirt 3/4 zipped. Fearing that it would drop at any moment, I held it tightly. Then, photo-taking session with our 'good' babies in the canteen..haha... That's not the end yet. My 'good' babies carried me and attempted to~~ [Ooops, inappropriate to post here...HAHA] And I saw clearly the faces of my 'good' boys. Don't worry, I'll remember your 'happy' faces for a long long time with that satifying grins. After that, it's, again, photo-taking session, but with some of the 23rd SC. How 'good' they are. As the saying goes: like 'good' seniors, like 'good' babies.

Finally, the attention was changed. It's then GeokWoon's and Sabrina's, as well as the Izzat's and TzeLin's turns! I could 'rest' for a while. Hmm..since it happened only once in a lifetime, I hope, so it's OK for me lo.. Bringing laughter to others is a good thing right? HAHAHA...

A million thanks to my sec 1 coordinators: WenJin & Chermin, Sec 2 coordinators: ChinHua & QingYan, teachers-in-charge, especially Ms Tang, and the 21st, 22nd and the 23rd Student Councils, and also my brilliant, cute, fantastic, great and wonderful Sec 2s!! All of you have made my life a more enjoyable and fruitful journey! Thank You! (=

mindef

I went to the Jurong East library today to study. Supposed to meet izzat, ct, fahmi, khai n and des to study together, but think i reached there early, couldn't find them, and I spotted a vacant table (first ever vacant table I've ever spotted myself in a library!) so decided to study alone. Furthermore, I think I can concentrate better studying alone. Then, a dating couple joined my table to study. With a glance, they were mugging for their A level (studying Economics) while I was mugging for O level. Since they are a couple, the sweet conversations are therefore unavoidable. -.- I endured a couple of hours mugging while hearing (not listening) their conversations. In order to concentrate on my work, I tried my very best not to be distracted by them-and I succeeded-85% of the time-while the other 15% made me quite uncomfortable.

After studying for about 6 hours in the library, I left and was heading towards the Popular to browse for books, though I did not intend to buy any-just to see if there are any good books to me. In the end, there wasn't any books that interest me, so I went home, and that's my day...

Oh ya, I received a leaflet-folded into a letter-yesterday, regaring the National Service from the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) I am going to serve in 1 and a half year time. This letter is for those whose age is 16 and a half years males who are eligible for NS. Wei Chiang had also received it (obviously..) Lolz... Basically, it is to inform us to prepare ourselves for NS and some informations about NS. Wonder how NS will be like~~ (",)Time passes real fast...

a long day~

It's a long day for me. Class 4-5 had a Chemistry lesson at 8.45am about Alkane and Alkene today at AV Rm. Well, things are getting more confusing as more contents are being introduced. What 1,2-dichloromethane lah, what but-1-ene lah and what 2,2-methylpropane der.. Well, exceptional good memory are needed to MEMORISE them (memorise=seems to be a vulgar word for us when we will complain and complain).

After the lesson ended about 10.50am, we had a last Ex-co meeting about the value system which 23rd SC is going to present to Student Council. The product is yet to be disclosed.

Then, meiqi, yeele, tzelin, sab, eliz, ct, izzat, wc, aaron, des, yiqing, khai, allan, geokwoon, zc and me went jp planning to buy gifts for our partners. I had been walking round and round the jp, go up and down the escalators umpteenth times. It's tiresome to me and my legs are...well...just tired lo. (stopped for a while to drink orange juice) We'd been thinking real hard what exactly we should buy for our partners. Finally, only the presidential team had managed to buy while the sec 2 coord done half their task. For the others, we had left jp with the same situation as we had entered jp -_-"

Next, about 4.15pm, izzat, khai and me decided to go JE library to STUDY after thinking that Jurong West library was just too noisy. Siti was already there studying. Khai and me felt that our stomachs making hungry pangs so we decided to go to Mac to eat while Izzat joined siti in the library. And guess what hilarious thing happen? Khai actually ordered "ZINGER MEAL" in Mac!! So funny! The girl who was taking Khai's order told him, "Zinger is there" with her fingers pointing towards to the KFC opposite. HAHAHA... What a joke man... And after we'd finish our meal, we joined izzat and siti. Fahmi joined in later. So 5 of us studied and studied, while joking with one another! Had a great time laughing. At abt 8.20pm, I left first while they continued studying.

Personally, I think that I really cannot study at home. There's just too much distraction around me! Library indeed provide a conducive environment for me to study, it is just that the chance of getting a table and a chair to sit is low. Still, library's environment is definitely much much better than at home, so I reckon I will spend more time to study in the library as O level is looming. 8-)

new skin

HahaaZZ... New skin!!! Isn't it cute?? LolXX...

Decided to change my kitkat to a mini TV after school. =D

There's Chinese Listaning Comprehension 'O' Level Exam next Monday...
There's English Comprehension test next Tuesday...
There's Physics test (Chapter 21 & 22) next Thursday...
(AND MORE are YET to come ~)

Gosh, tests are coming up now.
GOOD LUCK to everyone! =P

juz after oral

Oh Yes!! My Chinese 'O' Level Oral Exam has just ended!!! I'm the third of the list, you may imagine how nervous I was then when I was waiting. However, the reality is on the contrary - I did not feel that nervous as I thought I would be. I tried calming myself down during the 5 minutes when I was practising the passage, which was about Orchard Road for your information-nothing interesting to me. After the 5 minutes, I was told to sit at a chair before the examination tables where a person was then taking the oral exam before me. I tried keeping my mind blank, not to think of anything - the best way to stay calm and relax myself, in my opinion. Finally, the crucial moment arrived when I was told to walk over to the examination table to take my O Level Chinese Oral Examination 2006. I walked steadily towards the tables, tried hard to smile, greeted politely to the teachers, handed over my EZ Link to the examiner, and finally sat down in my most comfortable way. I started reading the passage aloud. Everything was going on smoothly to me, but, at the very last second line, where there was written: xiao huo zi, I read: xiao xiao huo zi! Oh my goodness, how can I make such a stupid mistake?! Should there be without that mistake, I would think that I have read the passage up to my fullest satisfaction. In order not to show my mistake that obvious, I pretended, or should I say that I treated nothing wrong had happened. I think that should be the way things should be done just to cover up what you have done wrong in oral.

After that, it was the conversation part. The question is: Some people say that the youngs nowadays like to seek materialistic satisfaction. Do you agree? My response started with: Basically, I agree with the statement, bla bla bla... Overall, I think that I managed to express my views across, but just that I thought of a few more points that I can very well elaborate if I thought of that during the conversation only after I left the examination tables. It's such a waste! I wonder how I will score. Anyway, what I can say is that Oral is already over for me! There's still a last paper for Chinese, the Listening Comprehension next Monday (17 July). Hope I listen correctly!

Phew, Chinese Oral is over-a big barrier to me is now over. The next BIG thing shall be 'O' Level Englsh Oral Examination!

Exactly 1 more week to my Chinese O level Oral Examination (10 July)! I'd be lying to u should I tell u that I am not at all anxious and nervous. I know that I've not really performed up to both my teacher and my own expectations, so really need to buck up and make use of the advantage of having more days to prepare than e rest of the cohort since I am tested on e last day. It's always e nervousness in me that causes me to underperform in oral examination, and I am almost used to it! Now, I really need to learn to relax and keep myself in an optimum condition for taking the oral. I just need to visualise e scene where I am not at all nervous and am performing to my best, then leave the examination hall with no regrets and a sense of satisfaction. Wow, I'd be really gleeful then! So ya, need to train myself to stay calm. Although there's FIFA World Cup Final e day before, or should I say 12 hours before e start of my oral exam, I, of course, would not torture myself by forcing myself to be awake to watch e final match and then, most probably, to underperform in e oral exam! Haha... O level is important! Lolx... Good luck to everyone! =]
