this is like so ridiculous

2006-10-24T15:13:00.000+08:00

I feel so amused now... really. Having some idiot tag a comment under my name, it's like so ridiculous la. Why in the world will I tag a comment like that? People out there, please use ur mind and think.

I'm removing the tagboard all for once. Given the current situation now, I think it's in my best interest if i remove it first. Besides, i think having a tagboard is redundant cos the entries are written for my own fun, joy and pleasure.

I'm getting back with my bio olympiad slides. Taz... people.

spam the tagboard for all i care

2006-10-24T07:48:00.000+08:00

I'm so amused by some of the comments on the tagboard. Really. Why get so worked up over someone posting their results on their blogs anyway? And what's with the stupid anonymous status? If you want to complain, just write out ur full name. Cowards. Afterall, it's my blog and i can blog anything i want rite? And no, i'm not going to remove those comments on the tagboard nor am i going to remove the previous post.

I never meant to insult anyone and neither am I bragging about my results. It's in the habit. I always blog about them cos it's only a part of target setting for the next exam. Whenever i refresh the archives, it reminds me of my aim. And it works cos most of my results improved most of the time (although it usually comes with opportunity costs.) So shut up, just because u didn't do well and don't spam my tagboard with those stupid comments. People have different ways of handling things, and this is my way. I quote from xiaxue, "There are millions of people out there in this world. I'm not going to let the minority influence the way i think." or something like that. You all can spam for all u want, cos i'm not going to bother any more.

My argument with the person has been resolved. Okay, at least it appears to be the case la. I no longer feel troubled now. Thank you to those who are willing to lend a hearing ear to me in my times of need. No thanks to those who made me feel even more miserable. Who will even want to harass u? U think u're very pretty meh? Siao! I rather wear a dress, look into the mirror and seduce myself.

My mother decided to sponsor me a $100 for my ipod, cos i did well for the promos. It was so generous of her cos my father will never sponsor me anything unless he strike 4D or Toto. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to go out lately. I've been busy with the bio olympiad presentation. I'm thinking of getting it this saturday, after choir practice at siglap CC.

Talking about choir, TPJChoir is going to perform for the sco performance as well. I can't wait to see Weiling. She's the only J1 alto, apart from me during the first 3 months. I heard she's become the alto SL now. It's just too bad the J2 altos will not be joining us. I was looking really forward to seeing sherlyn again. SCO rehearsals are going to be so exciting! I wonder how many male altos are there in AJchoir.

Oh yes, I'm giving up the Malacca trip. For the sake of the bio olympiad. Although I can't promise that i will actually make it into the practical stage of this competition, I don't think it's a very impossible task either. I really don't want to regret paying a $308 for something which i cannot go eventually. I can buy a 8800 sirroco version, which is like super pretty to me, with that money and the savings i have currently. Besides, I'm kind of skeptical of the effectiveness of this trip anyway. Don't think it's really possible to raise the vocal standard of the choir within 5 days. Ms Sharon Lim told me that i'll have to work really hard if i am to give up this course. I wonder if it's true.

I think my vocal techniques has definitely improved as compared to last year. My low notes are getting much better now. At least I can reach them with greater ease. Although my timings sucks, I believe that can be improved if i work a little harder on my co-ordination. I don't hate Mr Toh now. Really. It's only that I don't agree with the way he helms the choir- the way he try to push the shit out of you. I just don't work well under pressure. Besides, my SLs are really much better than those in secondary school. No offence.

I got to get back to my bio olympiad slides now. Tataz people...

My results are unrivalled!

2006-10-20T13:59:00.000+08:00

Okay, maybe not... but it's definitely the best in class yet, as far as i know. To think i expected myself to do far worse. ABBCEU. Econs still sucks as ever, but as long as i do well for my H2s i really can't be bothered la.

Anyway, here is an analysis of my results for the respective subs.

GP: 62.5% B. Lol. I even got rewarded with a jumbo pack of cadbury boosts for my essays. Good thing my foundation for geography is rather good althought i focused mainly on environmental management and agriculture. Oh, and looks like econs isn't such a useless subject after all...

Maths: A 72.5%. Unbelievable, I really didn't expect myself to get an A. Really. I swear i found the maths paper challenging.

Biology: ~66.3% B. I topped the class for this sub, as expected. But it isn't as superb as i wanted it to be. I wish i'd just memorised the chi square thing though. If i did memorised that part, i could have scored A, and there will 4 people in the level scoring A's for bio instead of just 3. Even though i'm considering dropping the idea of taking h3 bio, it's more of a self-fulfilment kind of thing la. Oh well...

Chemistry: 59.5% C. Wa lou i lack .5% to get a B la. 2.5 a levels pts is a big difference lor. Good thing it's relatively better than others in class. For one thing, i didn't consult luke lau, unlike some people.

Chinese: 46.5% E. I'm speechless.

Econs: 33.6% U. I knew i sucks at this subject.

Looks like i've successfully gotten promoted. Ironically, there's still PW and chinese to work towards so life will prolly be still as busy. I really can't wait for all these madness to end.

As for life next year, sometimes i just cannot help NOT wishing for a reshuffering of classes next year. Most people wouldn't have wanted this. I know there are implications for blogging this down, but i don't care cos this is my blog and i blog all that i want. I've been thinking so much lately and i'm quite sure that i would have been happier if i stayed in tpjc. I know it's rather senseless to say this, but i really dunno how to differentiate between who's my friend and who isn't in my CG.

Back in dunman, i had good friends like anisah, jeryl, nethra and hazirah to support me. Not to mention elroy for always being there when i needed him. Sounds wrong, but nvm. The first 3 months had been the best time in my entire life. I really treasured the fond memories i had with my ex-cg and up till today, i still miss them like mad.

06s307? Despite our cheerful and enthusiastic facade, deep down, i believe(or rather, i'm absolutely sure) that most of us will just forget about each other once we leave mjc aside from the people in our respective cliques. Okay, so maybe we won't forget each other. Rather, we'll lost contact.

Do we even have a unique class culture of our own? Do the people in our class even has a common goal to begin with, apart from just excelling in our studies? Food for thought people.

Sometimes i really dun understand u. Stop trying to give excuses for ur fault cos it makes people sick. U're in the wrong and giving excuses doesn't solve anything. If u rather trust someone like **** than me, I really have nothing to say.

I find hating a person really tiring. Please dun make me regret counting u as my friend.

oh no...

2006-10-06T22:14:00.000+08:00

I just redid my calculations. I found out that i not only lost 10 marks, but 25 marks in whole, inclusive of the careless mistakes i made for the maths paper. Meaning i have like 7 marks to play around, to ensure that i obtain a B. Sigh... this sucks. :(

the promos are finally over...

2006-10-06T12:16:00.000+08:00

Yeah i know... it's been a riduculously long time since i've blogged. How to blog when the promos are coming in the first place? Haha. Okay, now that the promos are over, i guess it's time for me to shower more attention on myself. Been losing lots and lots of sleep lately. Anyway, here are the breif re-caps of the papers:

GP: Dunno whether i can score or not. I rushed through my AQ within 15 minutes. But considering the time taken, i think it's very well done. I did a very SS and econs related gp essay this time, but i have no idea whether i'll do well or not. Cos lately, I've been doing very miserably for such essays. Wanted to abstain from such topics but no inspiration came when i looked at the other topics. So yeah lor...

Chinese: FLOP. Seriously... i think my essay is lacking in content. Besides, the chinese paper is harder this time round la. Good thing they tested a topic that wasn't covered in the second part of the year or else it sould have been worse.

Econs: I can't and don't want to remember.

Bio: Harder than mid years but should be able to do relatively well if all goes well. It's inevitable for me to score a single digit for the essay: Never do question 1 due to time constraint. Hopefully i can attain at least B.

Chemistry: Strangely easier than the mid years. Best case scenario guarantees an A, but then again, there's no best case scenarios for major school based exams. So I'm praying for at least a B. I skipped one question, with several others in between. So yeah, i'm saying sayonara to around 21 marks.

Maths: skip a lot of questions in between. Yeah, overall confirm with guarantee plus chop lose around 10 marks le.

Sigh... good thing chinese isn't part of the minimum promotional criteria. Even though i'm quite worried for the chinese a lvls, but the u only require u to obtain an S grade. I'm more worried for my PW.

I wanna meet up with the 06s05 people! it's been a ridiculously long time since we last met up with each other. I really miss them like mad and all the crazy things we did during the first 3 months. And for one thing, the class unity was there which is so unlike 06s307. Woah, evangelists of 06s307 dun come spewing bad remarks on my tagboard, cos it's the truth and u all know it. Besides, this is my blog and i blog what i like.

Choir's resuming soon, i expect. But i seriously wonder what's to come. I heard choir sessions are going to be hectic and rigorous. Mr Kwei even applied a passion card for everyone of us so that we can utilise siglap CC. Lol, if i didn't recall wrongly, he likes that place cos it makes most of his choirs sound like shit. Paradoxical, but true. That's what he told tpjchoir la. The vp got quite pissed off with the choir over that comment.

I'm getting an ipod soon. My sister bought my existing zen micro (at a cheaper price la, duh). And now i'm getting a new 30gb ipod video! :D Most prolly next week. I think apple's marketing strategy for the nano and normal ipod video is quite stupid though. Do you know the price of the 8gb nano is equivalent to the price of the 30gb ipod video, that has even more functions. The only downside of the ipod video, as far as i can think of, is its bulkier. But the comparing the 30gb ipod and the 8gb one, who will be concerned over the size rite? Besides, i think the normal ipod looks nicer than the new nano. Ipod aside, i also have to get the charger and socks. Good thing jonwong has a very good lobang. 1 set of socks for less than half of its original price.

Why am I not getting the zen vision M instead even though it has better functionaility? Well, the reason is simple. That's becasue i am going anti-creative. I hated creative since the day my mp3 player broke down and I had to go all the way to jurong east to get it repaired. And I'm not the only one who has a problem with their creative products. Many have also complained about the creative's lack of quality. Besides, the ipod looks so much more aesthetically pleasing than the vision M.

I even tried to influence samuel with my anti-creative propaganda, but it didn't work. He got the Zen Vision M eventually, but i think he kind of regretted it because he didn't need that much memory. Besides, he don't put videos in them la. In other words, he paying for functions he don't use. Good thing I didn't buy a new earpiece along with him though. I didn't intend to get an ipod then.

I swear i'm going to leave my hair much longer during the hols. I just want to leave my hair long while i still can. NS is not far from now, and i really want to treasure my hair while i still i can't. My hair's quite long now, and i have absolutely no intention to cut it until someone which high authority orders me to. Good thing i have a long neck or else confirm kena caught since a long time ago. Hopefully, all will proceed smoothly untill my op finishes.

I going to watch inuyasha on youtube now. Tataz... will^infinity blog later.

Lack of updates...

2006-08-31T23:29:00.000+08:00

I find that i've been neglecting my blog. Can't blame me though... Life's such a bitch these days. So much (tutorials, assignments and test) to chiong and within such little time. Not to mention the extra things i have to do in order to prepare myself for the bio olympiad. Given so much things to do, how to find time to blog? Haha.

Besides, we're supposed to study 4 hours a day on weekdays and 10 hours per day on weekends, aren't we? Haha. Okay nvm... this is so not funny.

I find that there's really nothing very ideal about the bio olympiad after all. There's quite a lot to learn before the competition and idiotically (if there's such a word), most of the topics tested are not covered by our current H2 syllabus. What's even more ridiculous bis the way the teachers made us do our own presentations and stuffs. (i.e. we're teaching ourselves.) This is so bloody ironic can? While they're aspiring for someone to make it into the practical stage, they're not doing anything to help. All saves for the facillitation method though. But still... the presentors aren't exactly very effective in bringing their points across la. I'm even more worried for my group cos we're doing one super alien and an arguably boring topic. Tsk tsk.

On the brighter note, I scored quite well for the NSW science competition. Yeah, it's that idiotic MCQ we do almost every year. I've gotten the top in class for it! YAYNESS. Ironically, it still boils down to a stupid COP (certificate of participation la!) Wa lou. To think i thought the test was ridiculously easy la. Then results turn out to be like that. I was hoping for a credit lor. But oh well... at least i did relatively better than the others in the class. :D

I failed my vectors maths tests miserably. Flunked it. And it wasn't as bad as i expected it to be. Never EVER have I done so badly for a maths test before (ever since upper sec life.) But I find vectors really ridiculous la. Why make us learn some stupid dot, cross product when we possibly won't even apply it in the later stages of our lives. Trust me, maths as a university course is strictly out of the question. I was totally demoralised after taking the maths olympiad (which i expectedly scored a COP.)

Bio SPA skill BD was GREAT! Absolutely. Oops.. there's just one tiny problem though. I think my skill B will get penalised cos i didn't measure the water with the given measuring cylinder. Hopefully, Yeow is cockeyed and didn't notice me. Shit la, didn't really read instructions clearly. But i think my report rocks! :D Managed to write down 3 apparatus and 5 experimental errors. Not to mention my handwriting is very much neater this time. In essence, I'm hopeful for a better grade this time than BC.

Garnier products rock! I'm finally seeing visible results on my face. My pimples are clearing, and complexion is getting better. Yeah, I sound like a girl, but i'm really esthatic over this. Looks like my routine has really helped after all. It's only a matter of adding a finishing touch, by slicing those ugly scars away with laser. Will prolly do that at the end of the year.

Then there was the studying session with bay and pearlicia last saturday. We talked a lot, ate KFC, but ended up being super unproductive. Like how I took the entire day to complete like 4 questions from the chem tutorial? Samuel laughed his head off when he heard this. Haha... okay not funny. :X

Then there was be-yourself-day (or rather be-someone-else-day) yesterday. My class didn't do anything really fanciful as usual. Due to information failure, most people wore different coloured clothes. I wore the miranda house tee cos i didn't want to smell when i got back to dmn. But i sweat damn little cos i was pratically stoning during the aces day workout. Oh well, blame it on the space shortage. We proceeded with the teachers day celebration. There's nothing special worth mentioning actually except for that funny chemistry song Mr Lau sang. But it was damn good la. He can be a song writer for mandarin songs! Seriously. At least it didn't sound weird to me lor.

The picnic was fine i guess. Even though all i had was 2 pieces of konyaku jelly and the sparkling grape juice. I was intending to deplete my tank so as to prepare myself for the buffet later. Then i followed samuel to his home as he wanted to change into something more decent. I think the chromosome-21 tee was okay though. :S Even though what i wanted to see was his bunny (which died a few days ago), his cat is damn cute la, kept licking me while i carried her. Now all he needs is a new bunny, YQ's parrot and a dog to transform his home into a pet shop!

Then we went back to dunman. This is so unfair! They have a cake to celebrate while we didn't get anything at all last year. And it's quite heavy lor! Wa lou. Anyway, i managed to catch up with a few secondary school friends and talked to the teachers. It was a bit dissapointing though, cos i was looking forward to seeing netti, anis and zizi there.

We didn't get the teachers any gifts la, unfortunately due to time constraint. Haha, bay kept presenting her ~~power ranger~~ PIRATES sword to the teachers. Ms nawal is ever so humourous, thanking her mother, her father etc. after being bestowed with the sword. the teachers were saying that this year's batch of sec 4's is really horrible+terrible+vegetable. Something about them not being smart, not very disciplined and not hardworking at all. And Mrs Neo said our batch sux. -.-" But i agree to a large extent too la. How good can they be when they are so rough?

Didn't managed to see Mr Lee, Mrs Lim. And Mdm Z cos she's away in austrailia. Anyway, i hope they have a wonderful teachers day.

I had buffet at Sakae sushi with some secondary school friends and the guys from MJ later. But we eventually splitted into 2 different groups cos there were 9 of us. My tank was malfunctioning even though i ate literally nothing from the morning. Ate only a pathetic 9 plates and 9 takoballs only! So idiotic la. Should have eaten more. Oh well, at least i fulfilled what i paid for la.

The 4 of us (Shuming, YQ, Samuel and me) walked around Marina Bay after that. But because I have to rush home by 7.30-8.00, i didn't join YQ to watch the devil wears prada. But so did Beanpole. Sadded, no one told me that they were going to watch a movie. They say the movie is not bad, also.

Basically, we went to the creative's shop later. I was asking samuel whether i can be a freerider. He's going to get the Zen Vplus and basically, any mp3 purchase entittles u to a 50% off other speakers and earpiece. I needed a new earpiece la, so yeah lor... Haha. Hopefully he's okay with it. The retractable coil of my current earpiece is faulty.

I'm totally amazed by how a group of VJCians can think so far ahead. Here in MJC, we're struggling to do well so we can get promoted, but those victorian J1s are already thinking of the courses they want to take in the U! I feel so myopic. I mean yeah la, i was hoping to do well enough to get into a medical course. But given the current situation i'm in, it's such a wishful thinking isn't it? Yes, I know I must be optimistic but too much failures can be discouraging one u know?

I'm going off for lunch le... Tataz.

i want into the bio olympiad!

2006-08-04T21:37:00.000+08:00

I so wanna get into the bio olympiad. It's freaking cool la... Although i understand that chances for me to do extremely well is pretty slim (considering we have participants from the top notch junior colleges competing too), I still wanna try my luck. I always loved biology. It's such a lovely subject. Most importantly, I think participating in this will do me real good for my testimonial. It definitely beats taking H3 bio, since it is supposed to source out the top few bio students of the entire nation. Okay, provided that I do really well in this in the first place.

Life's been real stressful of the late. I have a mountainous amount of tasks on my plate to be done within such a short time. Sigh... it's kind of expected though. Term 3 has always been the most stressful, thanks to the promos. Now, how I wish I can get this over and done with ASAP. It's not that i hate school, but the syllabus we're doing is so... arrghh. And there's a contrasting subject for us to deal with- Econs. Bloody hell.

I'm learning to take things in stride though. Cos whinning won't do much good either, given the current situation i'm in. Haha. As samuel said before, there's really no use in complaining about not taking H1 geography in the first place. I'll prolly end up whinning about not tkaing econs then. But I guess that's what human nature is for u, isn't it.

I did like real badly for the recent bio essay question. 7/15 which is like the worse mark i received for bio so far. Not that it really pains me or anything, but I feel quite dissapointed generally. I could have scored so much better lor. The essay question is super easy. Maybe I should go for consultations with Ms Soh. But given the time constraint now, how to go for consultations? I still have my other subjects to work on. Not to mention the extra lessons i have to attend, should i get into the bio olympiad. I think it's very possible hor, don't undermine my capabilities.

I'm starting to like econs. Not that I'm influenced by that particular someone who LOVE econs, but the subject's becoming more interesting of the late la. At least I don't detest econs as i used to in the past. On the other hand, maths is like such a bore now. I hate vectors! Stupid topic, sometimes u see the link, sometimes u don't. And what's the what bloody right hand screw turn anyway? Don't understand la. Samuel tried very hard to explain to me, but i just don't freaking understand it. I always knew i lack appitude for physics. I took practically a month to understand velocity and speed. Not to mention i gave up on RV. These clearly explain how perfectly 'wonderful' my appitude for physics is.

Oh yes, I've been selected to become the class mascot for the openhouse booth. Samuel seems to be really really keen to see me in a TKGS uniform or a bikini. -.-" How fucking weird is that? I always knew he was sick in the mind. Haha. Oh well, hopefully there's choir to attend so i can push the position of the class mascot to another person instead. And there's really no way i'll wear anything revealing okay?

Better get back to my work now. Doesn't seem appropriate to spend time too much time blogging. I have other things to do anyway. Oh well, tata people! There's choir at 8.30 am tmr.

Guinea pigs of our generation!

2006-07-21T19:43:00.000+08:00

I feel so unfortunate that i was born during the year of the snakes after hearing Ms Lai's speech. If only we don't have to deal with the stupid contrasting subject component. And how the present S grade is actually a D grade in the past. Life has never been this sucky before.

School's just as sucky as usual, but how interesting do you expect school to be in the first place? Haha. I've received the results of my other two papers, Econs and Chinese. I miraculously scored a D for chinese but a big fat F for Econs. Econs seriously sucks to the core. I don't even remember studying this hard for social studies or geography back in the secondary school, and yet i managed to do suffciently well for geography all the time. I won't mind if the subject is interesting, but the subject can never seem to arouse my interest.

So much about expecting a B for econs. TMD...

But I passed overall la and did relatively (but not absolutely) well. Sparing the pass in H1 Econs component, I would have succeeded in scraping past the promotional criteria.

Oh yes, bio spa really sucks! Literally. This is not a joke, hahaha (sarcasm intended). Like how the hell am I suppose to collect so many results and within such a bloody short time la?! Wa lou. And I couldn't even finish my written report in time! Not to mention the minor errors here and there, the ugly and most prolly ellegible handwriting, and the terrible blunders i made in the course of the exam. This is so absolutely depressing. Oh well, I must work harder on my other SPA assessments le. An A1 for H2 bio thy shall get. If I don't, how am I suppose to kick the stupid ang mohs' butts for giving me a B3 for o levels bio?

I shall not spill the details of the bio spa, in case any government officials are watching this. I can't afford to screw up for a second time le.

Chem test today was easy. Although I didn't really studied for it, I'm super confident that I will be able to do well for it. I really hope the teacher will be able to understand what i'm writing though, cos i admit it's very untidy! Samuel even commented that my script looks super untidy, but i managed to shut him up by telling him it's an art. But how very blatant that is of course. Haha.

Talking about chem, i think my current chem teacher is not bad, just that she is quite slow la. But I can't help feeling that she really resembles Mrs Serena Neo of TPJC. But then again, Vina Ng (her name) is from TPJC too. Haha. Which is so coincidental. She denies she's taught by serena neo though but some guy teacher. Guess that's TPJC's culture for you huh? I think Mdm Neo sock kin is quite hyperactive though.

After bio tutorial today, Rosalind commented that she can see my future as a teacher. Of which I guess is for bio bah... Cos of my presentation on the lysogenic cycle during the bio tutorial. Then the some physics tutor turned his head behind when rosalind said that and asked "who?" Then he gave me a weird expression when he saw me. Haha. I merely smiled back at him.

Then there was this TB skin test jab i took last friday. It wasn't painfuyl and the test proved to be very negative. I mean do mean very negative cos the "bump" i had can't even be considered a bump to begin with. It was merely a red mark less that 1 mm. The nurse marked 00. Haha. When Ms Lim saw my report, she was like going "WoW" Apparently I'm not the only one with such negative results. Junwen, adele and Mel. kang also had an almost invisible bump. But I'm pretty sure my skin is the most bump-less one of thsoe who had taken the test. Tee hee...

Ironically, I still have to take another jab to ensure that I really didn't contract TB. Cos the bacterial infection may actually surface later on. Sad, but true. Oh well, two more weeks...

MTOP officially started last friday. My mentee is so... aiya. Dun reallyknow what to talk about him. He didn't even come for the maths trail today la, which really shows how much he likes me. And he's such a joker can? I asked him whether he brought any work to consult me, and he fervently denied it. But for some reason, he miraculously managed to churn out an english assignment (which is the only piece of thing he has) from his bag during the last 10 minutes of the tuition programme. Now you tell me, how possible is it for one to forget that he brought an assignment to do, when that's the only piece of assignment he has? WTF rite?

I thought his attitude was bloody bad, but you've not seen the worst yet. The maths trail today was okay, all spare for this super AP boy who insist on "talking to the teacher(Mr Neo)" after every station. I lost my cool after the third time he did that, and reprimanded him in front of the station masters. But it of course didn't work. But overall, i think the mentees from park view are not bad. I just wish they will act more mature though, but how mature can a p5 kid be in the first place? If I'm going to become a teacher in the possible future, it'll definitely not be a primary school teacher.

I better get back to my studies now. Haiz, so much things on my plate yet so little time.

i officially turn 17 yesterday!

2006-07-09T17:31:00.000+08:00

I can't believe how time flies. In a flash, I'm already 17... Haiz, i feel so bloody old now. I mean already i dun look my age, I wonder how i'll look when i'm 20. I'm not kidding okay? Just a few days ago before i got my haircut, i was mistaken for a "madam" by this stupid sales person. And she's a woman somemore! OMG

Anyway I didn't go rollerblading yesterday la. The girls couldn't make it, so i ended up celebrating my birthday myself... and my dear campbell bio textbook. I ended up dozing away after reading half of the chapter on meiosis. I was too tired la... at that point of time. Was resting on the bed some more.

Oh ya, thank you samantha for that lovely birthday card! It's really pretty. Even my sister says so! And oh ya, to all the class peeps who penned down their messages on the card. And yes, samuel, wo3 ye3 yong2 yuan3 ai4 ni3. And so do the other people of our cg. Hear me people, u are all loved! I take back my words about 06s307 not being a lovable class. Though i still miss 06s05, 06s307 is still not so bad after all. :)

Got back 4 papers so far. BCES sums it all- B for maths, C for Bio, E for GP and a miserable S for chemistry. I'm really dissapointed with my bio though. I came out of the examination room feeling that i have secured an A or B for the paper, but ended up getting a C instead. And upon closer inspection in the papers, i could have gotten a B if i didn't made certain careless mistakes. I'm either the top or second in class for bio. Ironically, a C is kind of a good grade la that is way above the norm, considering that 67% of the entire cohort failed bio. None scored an A and less than 20 people scored a C or above. But yet again, why satisfy for a C when u could get a B?

GP was quite depressing too. Particularly the essay. I mean I never scored anything below a B for all the essays i did so far, so getting a D for the essay component is kind of demoralising. Besides, I knew all the information at the tip of my fingertips for the topic i chose thanks to my rather good SS background. I know it's weird la, but during the GP exam, I hear mdm zalinah's voice echoeing "HDB flats giving a stake to the people" and all the whatsoever not in my mind. I failed for the content, but did rather well for the language. However, I agree that my compo is really too myopic la.

S for chem... I'm speechless. Lack 1 point to get an E grade. Damn.

B for maths is depressing too. I was quite sure i would have gotten an A for the paper, but who knows? I got a B instead. While it's true that i wasn't intending to take H3 maths, when i look at my careless mistakes, I still feel very dissapointed la. Cos n A and a B is a huge difference. Besides, h3 bio is kind of a last resort alternative that i will take, if i fail to take h3 bio.

I bet i'm going to fail chinese and econs. They say the mean mark for the econs mid years was 5/30. I did ridiculously bad for my chinese listening (5/10) so u can imagine huh? Haha.

So I officially failed to take any h3 subs. Oh well... Now the wisest thing to do is to work towards the promos. While my grades are above average, considering that many people scored like triple Fs so far, it's still dissapointing la... somehow.

I met the anis, bibi, netti and yi lin on thursday night. And elroy too. Zizi couldn't make it. Cos yi lin was back in SG, so we wanted to have a gathering before she goes back to melbourne. It's quite good to know that everyone's doing well in their respective schools. Anisah, don't worry... it takes some time to get used to the way things are being run in TPJC. I know it's tough, but i believe u can do it la. That girl has been like so bloody depressed since her stay in tpjc la. Hope she gets over it though.

The neoprints we took looks okay... although i look really super ugly in them. There's only one which looks decent. Oh well, I always knew i look really cuckoo with short hair and glasses. Now it's a matter of growing more and applying for contacts when the time is right. Grow my lovely follicles, grow!

EPY says my hair is still too long. WTF. He seriously can go eat shit la.

2006-07-04T21:16:00.000+08:00

I just came back from choir practice, feeling so bloody tired rite now. I know i haven't been updating this blog very often la. It' just that I find it hard to pen certain events down in words, and time is really not by my side...

The mid year exams are finally over. I came out with the weirdest feelings i ever had, after stepping out of the examination room. Not that i felt like shit after doing the paper or anything of the sort, but a strangely very... empty feeling. I used to whine a lot after making the slightest mistake during my secondary sch and tpjc days, but now... hehe, i hardly even bother la. I guess that's how MJC has influenced me. Dunno whether this is a good change or not.

I think the most horrible paper yet was the Chem exam, followed by the stupid chinese paper. I never had a love affair with chinese in the first place. As for chem, I hope I can at least achieve a C. Trust me people, a C for chem in Mugger's JC MJC isn't easy to achieve. Any sec 4's this year reading this, be warned! Chem is a killer subject here in MJC!

I'm quite satisfied with Bio, Maths and Econs though. I think I can possobly score As for the first 2 subs, and a B for the last. Hopefully, my feelings won't fail me. :D

On friday, we had our last paper. I came out of the stupid hall, freezing like mad la... It's bloody cold... REALLY REALLY cold. While it's good to know that mjc is not going budget and scrimping on air con expenses, going super cold is non-ideal either. I wonder why they don't do the same for the LTs?

NVM, the point is the exams are over. We went to watch the movie "Just my Luck" later. Not a very good movie i think, but defintely more worth the price than the "Scary Movie 4." I watched the latter with the guys during one the study breaks. It's funny la, but not worth the price. Get's quite boring along the way. I think JML is quite boring too, but that kind of applies to almost all girly movies i watched. I just prefer the action packed ones la. I thought superman would have been a much better choice.

Then we went to popular, challengers and cash coverters, in chronological sequence. There's nothing really interesting about these places that particularly come into my mind. Only this stupid book about astronomy. Thy shall not go into the details... Tee hee

The guys had another outing amoung ourselves at bugis on friday. Liju didn't turn up due to fever. Oh well... Anyway, Samuel and me ate the most in Sakae sushi. While I ate an unbelievable no. of 16 dishes, Samuel's serving are much bigger than mine. Since he ate 15 plates, I guess he ate the most la, technically.

Takoyaki balls rocks! I simply looooooooove Takoyaki ball cos they taste simply so divine. However I ended up getting mocked by the guys for eating 20 takoyaki balls during the buffet. What pendulum blobs, and all sorts of stupid things regarding the balls in my stomach. The takoyaki balls in the buffet taste okay, but i believe Takopachi's ones are definitely better.

We went sightseeing after that. Not window shopping because Leon bought this "newbie" shirt. Kenneth from tpjc's 06s01 came after that. I thought kenneth look like one of those very guai1 pple, but what do you know? Well seems to me that looks can be deceiving. He was so quiet during the first 3 months la. Okay, so I admit i attend hardly 10 chinese lessons throughout the first 3 months.

We went home at around 630, though i was kind of dying to go home before that. I was feeling like really unwell after the buffet at sakae la, but that kind of dispelled after some time. Fortunately i only gained 1 kg after the buffet, of which i managed to shed after some dieting.

Then there was this outing yesterday. Well I thought the objective of the outing was for another cause, but seems to me that someone isn't so... nvm. Anyway, lesser people turned up then expected. Only got Leon, me, samuel and samantha. Basically, we window shopped around suntec and marina square throughout this outing. I finally got my mp3 player fixed, and samantha got that ~~ugly and cheap~~ dinosaur toy for her nephew from careforre. In a nutshell, the trip was kind of mundane la.

Interestingly, samuel and me kena stung by static forces whenever we come close in contact to one another throughout the entire trip. I think it's because of the tpjc orientation t-shirt, which i wore. I don't really like the material either. Don't ask me why i wore that. Apparently, samuel kena stung more frequently than me la. I only kena stung 1 time. The static force kind of stopped when we entered the mrt though so I think it has something to do with the air conditioning too. Don't ask me what led to this phenomenon. I'm not a physics student.

Choir practice was quite okay today. My new SLs are not bad, fortunately. We did a new piece today la, some japanese piece, but managed to learn only a few bars due to the lack of functioning keyboards. What can I say? MJC is super budget.

Anyway, can see that Mr Yong might possibly lose his cool soon, if we don't do something about our lack of self-confidence. I am still struggling to stop my voice from fluctuating though, a problem that has been plagueing me since sec 2. But it's a result of lack of self-confidence la. NVM, I shall aim to resolve this ASAP.

Results for the MYE will be released tmr. I hope i won't do too badly...

2006-06-23T20:50:00.000+08:00

I just got a haircut. It is quite sucky, i guess. There's hardly any visible waves and the back of my hair was so bloody short la. As compared to what i had before, of course. Fortunately, it's still quite long la, so yayness?

Whatever...

It's been quite a long time since i last blogged. It's just that there's nothing really to blog about these days. Life is simply so mundane, now that the exams are nearing. Well at least I'm not like some idiot who blogs random thoughts, in hope to gain fame. No offence intended.

The 4C bbq is worth commenting though. It's definitely one of the most fun outing i had since this year la. And Anisah and Hazirah are there too. :) The sad thing is that Nethra wasn't there and the yilin and jeryl are overseas. I'm pretty sure that they would have loved the bbq though.

Oh yeah, i heard from prem that chen xi and fatimah are doing well. It's certainly comforting that the existing 06s05 is still doing so well, and the people who got posted to the other classes are doing well too. I still miss them like mad la. While it's true that we spent barely 2 months together as a CG, 06s05 certainly made me the person i am today. It's just too bad we don't even have a single outing this holidays la. I was looking so forward to a 06s05 outing.

Anyway back to the main point. Haha, I wish I can show u all what the girls sang at the beach on the day of the bbq itself la. It was fucking funny la. They sang all the oldies, the modern chinese songs, not forgetting DA CHANG JIN! It was fucking funny. Joanne, me and Elroy laughed like mad and people were staring at us. Fortunately, it was too dark la so it wasn't too embarrassing.

On the contrary, the 06s307 bbq was clearly a flop. While it is quite good considering the no. of people who turned up, it's depressing to know that less than half of the class turned up. It ruined the mood of anyone who were present la. Some CG bbq this is. The people in the CG are hardly even enthu about this.

Anyway, Liju samuel and me swam in the seawater that day, playing frisbee. But we dragged samantha into the water too. And no, i never kena stung by the descendents of the stupid jelly fish i killed 3 months ago. Neither did i kena attack by that ugly tadpole i killed during the bio prac. :D

Peishi and yanyan left the bbq earlier. And both liling and fengling came. Basically, we played card games all the way then. I kena saboed to do a pole dance for 20 seconds, and hug samuel. (I know someone is damn jealous) Go to samantha's blog for the pictures. Fortunately the picture they took wasn't too unglam. Me and samuel twisted our heads away from the camera, so we can hardly be recognised.

I didn't went for the choir BBQ because i was feeling really drowsy that day. Perhaps, it's due to the diet i have been undergoing since the start of the holiday. I lost 3kg already and have 2 more kg to shed before reaching my ideal mass. It's hard, but i must persevere. AS mentioned in "I not stupid 2", you are not a loser if u fail, but a loser if u quit. I guess it's quite true la. Hopefully I can still lose 2 additional kg on top of that 2 kg i still need to shed. That in my opinion will truly be divine.

BTW, I still need to gain a cm before i reach the ideal height for a model... a female one that is. But yet again, a female model need to be of a height that is comparable to any men. So I guess it's by far, the best yardstick i know of.

It's like about 2 more weeks before my birthday. I seriously don't know what i want for my seventeenth birthday sia. There's really nothing that i wish for, except for better results and a nicer complexion but my parents are unable to give me these. Well, my mother sponsored me 200 dollars for my current hp last year. It was really generous of her, but it came with a price too la and that is, i must get into a JC and a single digit for my L1R5. I also didn't get any birthday cake at all.

17. I seriously don't know if this is an age to be happy about or to be extremely sad about. It's just that i suddenly feel so old. Time passes so bloody fast, and in a few years time, u are 20 before u even know it. It's really scary la. I simply can't imagine what i'll become in the next few years. Will i be studying in the faculty of medicine, doing neurology as my major, a dentist, a microbiologist or a student taking accountancy (which i truly hope do not happen!) This really sucks la. I feel even more scared thinking of myself botak 1.5 years later. I don't think i'll even dare face the mirror that time. Gosh, i feel olddddddddddddddddddddd.........

I better be going back to my revision now. It's coming along quite fine i guess... but still sucky. I'll need a lot of luck for the mid years and I do mean LOTS of it.

2006-06-02T10:28:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I think my blog has become a dumping ground for me to vent my frustrations due to homework only. In many occasions, it made me hesitate on whether to blog or not. I mean seriously la, what's the use of a blog when u're just going to complain about homework assigned rite? Right...

Hell, I shall start blogging about some significant events that occured a week ago

Friday

I went back to Dunman that day. It felt so good to be back in a place where u used to be so emotionally tied to. Although i have to admit that dunman's culture isn't particularly as impressive as some schools like TKGS, it's actually quite okay la. At least it isn't cheena... :)

I'm digressing from the key issue. I tell u hor! The security guard at the main gate is such a bastard can? I mean seriously la, I see nothing wrong with me wearing sandals to school lor. Well okay, since I've already graduated from school. He tried to screw me in front of a group of normal tech guy from my batch. The security guard was going "Oh. being a graduate from the school, u should set an example to your juniors.. blah blah blah." Please la, I think my batch is much more disciplined than the later batches of students. Especially graduating batch this year. If u think my batch is the most influential among the student body, i think u should consider the graduating batch this year first. Although i admit my hair IS a bit long, hey at least it isn't dyed in hues of red or gold rite? Will you call that setting a good example either?

Whatever.

Anyway I went to discuss with the teachers regarding CIP la. And yes, I have my first task at hand liao! Hohoho, I will be mentoring the e maths remedial for sec 4a this year. Let's see, how should i torture the poor dears? No la, I'm just kidding. I hope I still have the contextual e maths knowledege with me though. It's a matter of picking up the e maths textbook and getting the basic concepts right now.

Oh yes, I found out that Ms Fadillah was getting married that coming sunday! OMG, and no one was informed lor! She wanted to invite the whole class, but apparantly lost contact with all the 4cians. Firdaus Bj is supposed to spread the message around. But he's obviously not doing his job la. Bad geog rep, no candy for u. LOL. Anyway, Ms Siti took a video of me wishing Ms Fadillah a blissful marriage. I sincerely hope that she'll be happy with her marriage la. She's one of the teachers in dunman I'm quite closed to.

I revisited Dunman choir too. Although I used to whine a lot about dmnchoir and try my every means to avoid coming for choir, I have to admit one thing- I miss the dmnchoir. And I was whining about how sucky the choir is back in secondary school days. I guess you can't have a win-win situation where you do well both academically and in the areas of CCA right? Think opportunity cost.

We sang quite a few old songs, although we could vaguely remember the lyrics la. I think O Magnum Mysterium sounds really nice though, considering how many alumni members were present then. Although we kind of sang quite badly in front of Mr Toh la. But it's the experience that really counts anyway.

Oh yeah, I managed to extort 12 dollars back from Zi Jing too. He still owe me 24 dollars la, but at least he paid for the tickets this time. Looks like my intimidating "Ah Lian" standard extortion method really works huh? Right...

Monday

I'm really really pissed with Leon Lee Zhao Wei la. Take note of his full name! Well, I never liked him in the first place. He's ever so himbotic, cheena and so cocky. Seriously la, he is the most morally deficient guy i ever encountered in my between-16-to-17 years of lifespan lor. While I agree that I may not be as intelligent as him in the areas of sciences and maths, I don't think it's right of him to call me stupid in the first place. Even if I'm acting 'stupid' Leon, most of the time IT'S ON PURPOSE. People often say that the best way to deal with uber himbotic guys is to act like bitch. Well, u know what Leon? You haven't seen me acting like a super bitch in full force yet. I only acted like 40% bitchy? Be warned, I'll get even bitchier along the way.

As you can see, I'm really pissed with that guy. I was practically qarelling with him throughout the entire learning journey la. But the learning journey was kind of mundane, so I guess having someone to bicker with isn't such a bad thing either. Although I'll usually end up folding my arms and rolling my eyes in a bitchy "do-i-look-like-i-give-a-bloody-damn" manner. I usually go that when i see no sense in arguing any further. I'm not good at counter-arguments in the first place. That explains why I lost the tpjc debate, as the second speaker of the group huh?

The X-men III movie would have been superb.... if i didn't see the comic before. Well, as in every X-men movie, the content is very (and I do mean VERY) much altered. Cyclops was not supposed to die in the comic lor. And it's not Jean's genes that causes her to turn into the dark pheonix in the first place lor. It was the pheonix force that was somehow imbued in her during a mission. Oh yes, Iceman and Rogue are not meant to be lovers in the first place.

You know who they should really feature? GAMBIT. Repeat after me people, gambit rocks! It's a real pity Gambit and Rogue could not be featured in the movie. Their love life is supposed to be one of the longest in the entire X-men series lor.

All these being said, the movie is actually still quite worth it la. The effects are superb (or so I say.) I particularly like the scene where the phoenix force manifested Jean Grey la aka, the scene where Jean Grey's eyes turn black. It could be even better if Pheonix could display her power to burn rather than telekinesis. All in all, the movie is cannot be quite compared to the comic itself la.

Thursday

Choir farewell party yesterday. I'll miss the seniors so much. They're practically instrumental to the sucess of the choir. Without them, the choir is practically nothing lor. All this being said, I really hope we can maintain the momentum. I truly love MJChoir a lot. Hopefully, we'll be able to do well for the next SYF and La Risonanza IV.

Oh yes, I played Zhong Ji Mi Ma yesterday. The food was damn disgusting la. I felt like fainting the moment i sniffed the goouey thing that bay and people made. And yes, I kena-ed. I immediately ran to the toilet after swallowing the thing. I swear I swallowed the entire thing down though. I merely went to the toilet to rinse my mouth. The food isn't that bad la, just that I hate eating ketchup to begin with. Anyone who knows me well enough, will know that i never eat anything with ketchup or chili sauce.

2006-05-27T11:59:00.000+08:00

I really dread the holiday. I know there's no choir sessions during the june hols, but it really sux to know that you will defintely have very little time for yourselve during the "holidays". In my opinion, it seems more apprropriate to call this period the mugging period.

NVM.

The bio test on wednesday is totally sad. I'm not kidding! It'll take a miracle for me to pass this test. While I agree that my not-very-good foundation has a part to play for my performance this time, I think the teachers themselves are at fault too. I mean seriously la, how is it that they expect us to perform when they don't even have a single strutured question in the tutorials?

Bio test aside, I failed the econs test... again. Repeat after me people! ECONS SUCKS!!!! Now i really think I should have taken geog in the first place.

It's really wonderous why I can't seem to feel the pain of failing one test after another, since my stay here in MJC. I used to make a fuss out of doing badly for one test back in dunman. Why am I so immune to all these rite now? This I really can't understand at times.

Now I really think JC life sux. There's always so much to do and so little time to complete them. Even though the JC spirit is there to push us on, I really can't help feeling unmotivated at times. Like what they said, too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Come to think of it, the only thing that is motivating me to come to school is choir. I know this is weird, but it's true la.

Whatever, I shall stop blabbering about how sucky JC life is.

I simply can't wait for the 4C bbq next saturday. Yeah, 4c isn't very bonded back in dunman but who cares anyway? I miss all of them like mad. Wonder if anyone has undergone an extreme makeover? I think Zamir's one the last time is pretty extreme leh. Anyway, i hope the bbq this time will be good, hehs.

There's a GP exam on monday. Hope that I'll be able to score a B or above. Heh.

2006-05-13T01:57:00.000+08:00

i'm DEAD tired...

I can't believe how time flies. It's been two months since i've entered MJC already, even though it seems as if it was only yesterday i entered the school. And chem SPA officially begins next week. I guess Miss Lai is damn right about Jc life being damn fast huh? Right...

Anyway, La Risonanza III ended successfully, to a large extent. And I did enjoy every moment of it. After all, this is the first CCA i'm so emotionally bound to and this concert meant quite a lot to me. I hope it stays this way. I really don't want my bad experiences back in dmnchoir to repeat.

I'm still struggling academically though, especially for chem and econs. Those stupid theories in econs always rendered me quite perplexed. Sometimes I even wonder if taking econs is such a good thing after all. Yes, even though it has more applications to our daily lives, but bottom line is, i lack apitude for it. Somehow geog seems so much better now. And I was complaining about the need to know about volcanoes and waterfalls. The subject seems so much interesting now.

On the brighter note, it's comforting to know that i did quite well for maths. 18/25 which is still an A grade anyway. And I thought i couldn't cope withgout Mr Q's help. Oh well, i hope it remains the same or get even better along the way.

Chem spa is next week thursday. I really hope i don't screw up my calculations and recordings. Apart from this, there's still an upcoming econs and chinese test to work on. This really really sux.

I HAVE TO BLOG!!!

2006-04-28T22:34:00.000+08:00

I find that my blog has become a dumping ground for me to vent my frustrations. Okay, so I always end up venting my frustrations on this blog... It's just that I have a lot more to ramble about these days.

NVM -_-"

I'm still struggling with school work, cca and cip at the moment. Things can get so frustrating at times and I seriously wonder if I had made the right choice of entering a JC in the first place. I mean, I used to have this one-way thinking that JC life will be like a secondary school life, now that I don't have to deal with DnT anymore. Unfortunatley, things just didn't went according to plans huh? Right...

Even though my studies in MJC is relatively(but not absolutely) okay at the moment (or so I say), I still feel dissapointed at failing two important tests that constitutes to 7.5% of the promos results. The only test I got an A, was the bio test, but yet again, it's rather dissapointing to know that i barely scrapped through the minimum criterion for an A grade. And I'm like the lowest distinction clincher for the subject, based on my class standard. The test up next will definitely be harder along the way. If I barely achieved an A for such an easy test, how am I going to do well for the test later on?

Haiya, if only they aren't so strict about the criteria for taking a H3 subject... Really want to take both chemistry and biology at h3 level. In order to qualify for them, you have to get at least 2 A's and 1 C for H2 subjects and pass for econs. I'm most worried about econs. It's just that I never liked it since the day I came to MJ.

I need some vocal training immediately. My voice quality has certainly deteriorated after such a long time. Have this bad feeling about my section when the senior batch leaves us. I think I may need to work on my low notes.

And oh yes, choir concert tickets are not selling well. Looks like we got to work harder now that the concert is approaching... I still have 5 tickets left with 2 potential buyers. The concert is on 10th may, wednesday. 730-930pm at vch. Interested parties please contact me through phone or msn. Thank you.

+++++

Had the colossuem today. The house spirit was like damn high la, and i guess that's what really spurred me on to scream like mad. Yeah, my voice is a little sore now but it's okay, i can still sing. :D Miranda almost win lor! I bet we lost to Triton by a thin margin only siah... But i guess it's the house spirit that really matters la. Ms Yew was so damn right about Meridians being enthusiastic in whatever they do. Maybe I was being too myopic about TPJC's people being enthu huh? Come to think of it, my view was only based on the strong bonds i shared with 06s05 and the various seniors there.

Went out for dinner with some samuel, liju, fengling, samantha, zhitang and leon. Talked quite a lot then. Because I wasn't feeling very well after the meal, I didn't played this number guessing game they were playing la. The forfeited one will have to eat this disgusting sauce made from mayonaise, chili sauce, curry sauce etc.

Then went out window shopping later. Found out that Poh Kim don't sell inuyasha VCDs anymore, John Little do not sell any brightly coloured nor non-pastel coloured shirts. Oh bother, what am i going to do tmr man?

Oh yeah, we also looked at the various jerseys available in Sports Link, for the class. I really like the red adidas one, but they say it resembles the council jersey. I think green will look nice too, but they don't have it for sale.

I guess that's all that I can say for now. I still have the choir scores to memorise. Tata!

i'm feeling really sick

2006-04-23T01:15:00.000+08:00

i seriously feel like vomitting, just doing the stupid bio notes that biology department made us do. They say it's supposed to aid in memory work. Well, you know what? i simply beg to disagree... It just doesn't make sense to compile notes in the form of concept maps, because the main purpose of these notes is to help u churn out an essay that can ocupy 1.5 pages of fullscap paper. In addition, i find it easier to grasp concepts by reading textual passages, over and over again.

But i guess it's quite good that Ms Soh is willing to mark our biology notes, even though she'll most prolly just browse through and give commends whenever necessary.

As expected life has gotten kind of hectic over this week. There's a stupid PI to refine, this dumb bio notes to compile and tutorials to complete. Note to mention the revision for the upcoming bio, maths and chinese test to do. Life seriously sucks now la. So many things to do, and within suh a little time, thanks to the choir practices and long lesson time-span.

I'm working like mad now, in order to complete all these tasks. Oh well, I hope that my efforts will pay off and not go down the drain. It'll be so sucky in that way. I mean i didn't come to a JC to do badly to get a lousy cert.

PI groupings have been released. Can't say I'm too overwhelmed by mine though even though the grouping is pretty healthy overall. All becasue of that one person, who also happens to be the one whom i detest the most in class. Yeah, Leon Lee Zhao Wei, I'm talking about u. I'l bitch a bit about him when i'm free.

Haiya, so late liao... better go sleep now. Tomorrow's going to be a long day.

:(

2006-04-18T20:51:00.000+08:00

I can't believe I scored a 3/20 for my econs test. It's the lowest score I've scored for any tests so far lor. Even though I didn't really put in a lot of effort, I think my efforts are substantial enough to guarantee me a past. Well, u know what? How very untrue it is...

I do take comfort in knowing that the entire class did as miserably as me though. The highest score is 5/20... so relatively speaking, I didn't did that bad either. Right...

What I refuse to believe however, is how fucking hard the chem test is. I has mine today and it's really really beyond my expectations la. I thought the reason why people flunk their chem is due to laziness and all, but how very wrong i was... So little time and so much things to do, the test is simply inhumane la. On top of not being able to finish the test, I made so many careless mistakes. Sad to say, no follow through marks are awarded! WTF.

Guess my chem test is really goners. Hopefully, my bio test can pull my grades up. Yeah, hopefully... It doesn't carry any guarantee la. TMR I'm going to request for past year lecture test questions from Ms Soh. At least by doing some practices, I'll stand a better chance of doing well for the subject. I seriously can't imagine myself getting a failing the bio test. It'll be so... unfair.

Guess that's all I can and should blog, rite now. There are things I want to bitch about, but I don't have any time to spare at the moment. Maybe this weekend bah.

Oh dearie me...

2006-04-10T16:56:00.000+08:00

I have this feeling I'm going to flunk the econs test damn bad. Have this very veyr sucky feeling after completing the test. I know I've studied, but... i don't like econs to begin with, liao ma so yeah, u get what I mean don't u?

Well, this is most interesting. According to one my choir seniors, she says that J*n* Su* is actually the worst econs teacher in the econs department. I think I can agree with that statement. To a large extent. Because ever since the first lecture, I have this feeling I will hate econs. Maybe Ms Fadillah was right about physical geog being easier than it's human aspect after all. At least it's very factual. Very factual = Easy to apply.

Oh yeah, I'm really starting to dread going to school now. Don't get me wrong, MJC's a good school overall as compared to TPJC. Unfortunately it lacks something that TPJC has. I can't really explain what it is, but bottom line is, there is something preventing me from being proactive during and outside lessons. It wasn't this bad when I first arrive here, but things kind of get worse along the way. I really use to love going to school back at TPJC. Have no idea what's preventing me from doing well now.

Oh yeah, about CCA and CIP... I'm very excited to start on my CIP, and it gives the thrill just thinking about this. Haha, well a maths has always been one of my favourite subject in the first place la. Besides, I really hope to impart what Mr Quek has taught me to the other students. I used to face the same problem what.

I can't say the same for CCA though. I have this crazy schedule that will take up a minimun of 8 hours and a maximun of 13 hours per week for choir. It can't be helped though. The choir concert is impending. And compared to dmnchoir, I would say this is a far cry? I just hope the concert will end soon. I want my freedom back. That 4-6 hours is very important to me.

I have a lot to whine, but I should stop here now. the more time I use to blog, the lesser time I have for homework.

MJC life so far...

2006-04-07T22:18:00.000+08:00

I never thought JC life will be so stressful. I know i should have comprehend the concequences of transferring from TPJC to MJC, but i never knew it will be this stressful. And it's only the first 3 weeks. Life will get even worse subsequently. I'm really beginning to worry about all my subjects, with GP, PW, Chinese and Econs in particular.

Chemistry

I think mole concept is fine, but i really really hate redox!!! It's hard to present ur answers, and some of the questions just require a much higher level of thinking than i thought. On top of this, the tutors in MJC are just damn ngiaow la. They expect u to adhere to a set of given steps, with slight variations in the answering format, should the need for it arise. But I guess it's generally quite okay la, they just don't want to leave any spaces for loopholes. It's only a matter of adapting to the way things are runned here.

Biology

I know Miss Soh is sincere and dedicated to help us achieve our desired grades for biology, but I detect this lack of confidence in the way she answers certain question. Maybe she's not as experienced as Ms Nora. or any of the other bio teachers in tpjc, but yet again, i think i shouldn't doubt her ability to teach either. I mean at least she has a degree in microbiology mah. MJC is also very selective about the type of teachers they hire.

Anyway, back to the subject... I find that it's hard to answer to certain structured bio questions at time. There are many occasions when my answers differ a lot from the given model answer. Maybe I'm just expecting too much from myself, but I really beg to differ la. I mean if I don't try to be as perfect as possible, how is it possible for me to kick the butts of those bloody brits for the a levels biology. Well whatever it is, I hope I to overcome this problem. I really don't wish to be labeled a 'lousy material' for any science subjects, including bio.

Maybe I'm being oversensitive, but i do feel a bit discriminated for getting a b3 for o levels bio (which is totally below my expectations btw.) Well, Miss Lim once told me that she had faith in me of being able to clinch a distinction for the subject, and I don't deny this. I knew I had all the chances in the world and this was definitely a subject i could score in. I guess the bio practical really did me in. I came out feeling that I'm screwed.

However, I do take confort in knowing that there are people who have not lived up to their expectations too, like me. I hope they'll stop using the o levels biology results as a yardstick for the whatever available modules and courses though. It's not effective la.

I'm also worried about SPA!!!!!

Econs

I really really really starting to hate econs now. Life without Mr Ong from TPJC is so different. Back in TPJC, we had a hell lots of fun learning the whatever concepts that has to be taught. And I had this misconception it's like human geog.

Well u know what...

I'm DAMN WRONG! Notice the highlight! Well yes, I do agree to a certain extent it's like human geog, but there's more to it than just knowledge from human geog la. It's very intellectual or analytical, whatever way u may wish to phrase it. there are no fixed model answers and that really sucks to the core. Guess I'm just too superficial. I really think I should have taken geog instead. I agree it'll make ur brain melt, but at least there a fixed method to handle these questions mah...

Maths

I really think my maths teacher is much better than Mr Loke in TPJC. Well, at least she knows what she's teaching la. Mr Loke is just too soft. Besides, I felt like sleeping throughout the maths tutorials.

MJC's maths lectures is really much better than TPJC's. Spare Ms Ong's ability to interact with ants, The lectures here are conducted at a rather manageble pace. The maths lecture notes are also to a certain extent better than TPJC's. That's what I feel la. the way they conduct maths lessons back in tpjc was really horrid la.

GP

I don't have a lot to talk about this. Basically, I was told that it's a combination of SS and History, so people with backgrounds in both of these components are the most advantaged. As expected, my GP tutor (Mr Tan) in MJ is better than the one in TPJC. He's a nice man la, but he always got mocked by his inability to pronounce "r" words properly. I presonally find the class damn mean la. Anyway, I hope I rise up to expectations for this subject.

Chinese

Oooo, My chinese teacher is quite good at teaching. Well she definitely can't be any worse than Zhang Lu. Unfortunately, my command of the chinese language is originally very bad liao la, so I still hate the subject as ever. So yeah, u get what I mean.

PW

One of the most worrying part of my entire subjects. Can't help it, I really wish to get an A1 or A2 for this la. However as I work on the PI, I grown to be increasing reluctant to progress. Okay, so I'm just lazy but no one says it's an offence to slack under certain conditions and factors.

Overall, the transition from TPJc to MJC is a bittersweet one. Even though I feel my present CG is quite alright, but 06s05 beats them flat down anytime. I really really missed them la. Fatimah, Chen Xi, Zheng Da, Sharidah, Baizura, Fenglin, Marianne and all other Cg peeps (in no particular order of sequence) whom I've yet to mention. Okay, biased, but yeah, given the fact that most of us come from the same school, i guess it's quite good already huh? At least no one cling to themselves anymore expect for the 2 couples. I don't like Leon though. He has something against me, and he is ever so irritating. The good thing is I am very bitchy for a guy, and I can counter his irritating antics with my overwhelming bitchiness.

I'm so tired right now, but there are so much things I wish to say, but have yet to blogged. Speech Day, CCA and CIP. I'm just too tired to continue and there's a long choir practice from 9.00 to 4.00 tomorrow. Oh well, priority's first. I will blog all about this in another day.

2006-04-01T14:29:00.000+08:00

Just came back from choir. Haiya, so leceh... Saturday sitll got to go back for extra practices but it's really can't be helped la. There's the choreo to learn.

JC life has gotten more hectic lately. I don't know if this is a good thing but a bad thing in the long run, but I'm definitely happy now that i finally have something to do. I cannot keep doing memory work for biology all the time.

So yeah, I've completed 3 chem tutorials, the chem assignment, maths tutorial and 1 biology tutorial. What I'm left now with is the prelimary ideas for PW, some memory work for chinese (don't laugh!) , econs tutorial and revision and the biomolecules concept map. I think I'll be able to complete the concept map and a draft for the PI by tonight. What I'm really really reluctant to do, is the damn chinese memory work.

Bo pian la, I don't wish to get on Ms Tan's nerves especially since I'll see her everyday for the flag riasing ceremony. I also hope to at least score a b4 for chinese for a levels. It's just that when i start reading chinese to myself, i feel like sleeping. Reflex, u know, reflex?

Speaking about project work, I feel like going crazy this year again. I really really hope to get an EE for every criteria for the subject. At least that will ensure that i receive at least an A. I don't deny it's hard but it's not totally impossible either. I have to get an A for this. PW is important la. It constitutes to about 20% of the entire a levels score la. Do your math and see how important it is. I just hope my team mates will agree with point of view.

I'm also starting to regret taking econs. My econs tutor is so ngiaow la, so unlike Mr Ong back in TPJC. In addition, the subject is just so... dry. So much about taking accountancy. I doubt I can do this in the long run la.

My class is getting more hyper liao. But as usual, the haising couples are always sticking to themselves and there are people who are bound to be alienated. I hope it changes with time. I miss 06s05 like mad!

Oh yeah, I went back to dunman yesterday. To deal with some CIP and promote the choir concert. Ms Yew was ever so encouraging. I'm so glad she believed in me, that I'll be able to do well in MJC. She also asked me to help her during the english night studies! OMG! I really can't do it la... my english isn't superb to begin with.

Anyway, they can't change the day for maths la so I can only start CIP after the concert day. I also proposed my plan for a tablet PC course to be runned for the existing sec 3 people to Ms Kwek and she'll ask Mdm Chia about this. I hope it'll turn out well. I can't wait to start on CIP.

I better stop writing this entry le, i still have the concept map and draft for the PI to work on. Oh well, tata........

2006-03-25T21:15:00.000+08:00

I'm so terribly pissed off by that stupid bottle that my mother purchased a few days ago. Just a few days and it started leaking already. And it's not cheap hor. Thanks to the leaking bottle, my bio tutorial worksheets and tpjc chem notes has gotten completely drenched. Damn it.

The TPJC chem lecture notes are completely destroyed. The only happy thing I can be happy about is that the answers for the bio tutorial can still be seen la. It's now a matter of transfering the answers to a piece of fullscap paper.

#!$#$@!#@!#@! Grrr.....

Anyway, I should blog a little about my new class and CG mates la. As already mentioned in the previous entry, my cg has 11 haisians, 5 dunmanites and other people from the various schools of course. and that made me quite worried about the formation of schools cliques among the people there. Fortunately the situation wasn't as devasting as I thought it'll be. Can't help it la, the haisians in tpjc always stick too much to themselves. Most of the other dunmanites in tpjc are no better either, sad to say.

What I'm really glad though, is that people do share my point of view, that the cliques within our cg should be abolished and everyone should mix together. That's what makes 06s05 so bonded in the first place. Anyway, cliques are still present la, but the situation is getting much better already. Well okay, at least I was able to influence other people to mix around with the other cg peeps.

I find that they had covered quite a lot of stuffs for bio here in mjc, and that's really beginning to make me worry. I really do not wish to be to be below average in terms of my standard for this subject. I admit I'm ambitious but I have expectations for myself, especially since I want to kick the butts of those bloody brits for giving me a b3 for o levels bio.

Enough said.

Chem was rather easy. But I heard that the other people are struggling like siao. Well okay, maybe that's because I was in TPJC for the first 3 months but I really beg to differ la. I mean how hard can mole concept be anyway. It's so... common sense. Okay okay, thy shall not go on already, just in case my words offend anyone. I know I'm bitchy la, but no one says it's an offence to be a bitch anyway what.

Mdm Mariam's lecture on PW was okay la. I like the one on brainstorming and tradition. Many of the others fell asleep listening to her though. Okay so maybe, I kept myself awake for the sake of f*f*.

I guess that's all I can say rite now. I'm missing the 06s05 people like mad, but life has to go on anyway. Hopefully, the CG will become more bonded by the next 2 weeks.

2006-03-18T08:44:00.000+08:00

I found out which CG I am in for the next two years. 06s307. Well, I found out that there'll be 11 haiscians there and if I'm not wrong there'll be around 4-5 other dunmanites apart from me. Zizi, Fengling, Liling and Liju should be there, since they're from castor 7. I'm beginning to suspect the management is practising nepotism. Hopefully, my CG will be as good as 06s05, which is by far, the most bonded class I've ever been to btw. I'm have this innate feeling that it won't be as good thanks to this sorting, but I'm still hope so. I personally don't think the haising peeps are that bad in terms of their attitudes, just that they stick among themselves too much.

Nuff said.

Anyway, please neglect the last line of the previous entry because I'm joining choir instead of CO. The teacher actually called to persuade me to join choir on wednesday, I think. Of course, I didn't really give in at first. But the teacher's word did made some sense. Well since I've got about 4.25 years of chloral background already, why not continue doing it for another 1.5 years anyway? MJC choir isn't that bad actually. I know of another two altos who are also quite nice too, so I don't have to worry about not having any friends there. Besides, I can chu mai my old choir, which have something against one of MJ's conductor. It's like killing two birds with one stone.

Hell no, make it 3! I was beginning to worry about my horrible fingerings for the sheng, anyway what.

We had our 06s05 outing on Wednesday. It wasn't as fun as I thought it'll be and things didn't went according to plans. I was thinking of playing water polo in the water, but the sea was infested with jelly fishes and we can only stay near the shores at most. Lots of people didn't bring extra clothes either.

I love the water and weather that day though. The water was really cooling, the weather wasn't too hot and nor is the sun too bright that day. It was just nice, a distinctive characteristic of pasir ris park which is unlike that of ecp. Since we couldn't play water polo, we played with sandcastles instead. yeah, it's childlish, hur hur, but it's good to be a bit childlish every now and then.

Speaking of Jelly fishes, I actually killed one that day and a large one for that. I seriously don't know how come the jellyfishes even manage to appear in the waters near the shores to begin with. I thought they only appear deep down the ocean? I actally pushed the jelly fish onto shore with a stick. It was still alive then. But the moment I pushed it back into the ocean, 2 of its tenticles got pinched off. Heck.

The others were so drama, I tell u. They acted as if I created a big sin like that. It's just a damn jellyfish what! They will prolly get eaten by the sharks anyway, so why not give it a less painful death. :P

We didn't manage to catch "nanny mcphee" or "date movie" as planned either. The movies were shown at a time too late and most of the s05 people are already gone. So saddening. The remaining 4 including me, had to satisfy for lunch instead but it was okay la. We talked quite a lot there.

I really hope that we'll continue keeping in contact with each other though. I saw the CG sortings already and the remaining s05 peeps have been sorted into 4 different sciences classes. Chen Xi and fafa are posted into S03. Poor Joan is sorted into s04. Most are still staying S05. And Ying zhen has been posted to a s20 something class. Ack, can't remember.

Things are going to be so different without fafa and chen xi around, even for the remaining s05 people. Especially Chen Xi. He has really brought us a lot of joy, his humour and lame parrot jokes. It was also because of him that S05 manage to become so famous.

But I hope the all of them will be happy in their new CGs. They may have the left the pae 06s05, and the class spirit will always be with them forever. They will always be parts of the pae 06s05.

Orientation

2006-03-12T23:09:00.000+08:00

Orientation 2 @ MJC was crazy fun. Even though it wasn't as cool as TPJC's first orientation, it's quite good already in my opinion. In chronological order...

Monday
I was sorted into the temporary orientation group E1 la. So suay, i tell u. Can't believe i got Joel Tan as my OGL. I rather have Kiat Yong as my OGL, in this case. Since I couldn't do anything about Joel, I might as well let him be lor. I'll definitely not be in Vega anyway.

Quite a lot of dunmanites are posted to MJC btw. There are also lots of Victorians, TKGS girls, HASCIANS and Ngee ann peeps.

They gave the subject combi talk that day. It was redundant to me, since i already know what i wish to take. I chose the same combi as i took in TPJC. Nope, I didn't chose 4h2s. I wanna leave space for at last 2 h3 subs. I hope to take a minimun of 1h3 elective la. H3 subs are useful for university admission.

Tuesday
The start of the real orientation programme. I was still in my temporary OG then la. They took the height and weight that day. What a good way to ruin my day. I can't believe how much mass i've gained lor. I'm even heavier than Zhengda now! Hell, I'm a guy but I'm super sensitive about my weight la. Don't ask me how heavy Zhengda is. Go figure...

Had choir audtions after that. The Vega ogls are so nenek sia. Of all stupid things to do, they have to watch me do the audition. It was so unnerving lor. I wish that joel tan will stop reminding me of that stupid performance back in 1b but that nut just had to rake up the past. Fuck him.

I was the only guy to receive two auditions. As expected, my audition was successful and I was sectione dinto Alto again. Range is 7.5. God knows what that means.

We had the mass and couple dance after that. And I love the dance so much okay? It's super cool lor. The couple dance isn't as good as the one in TPJC, but the mass dance is definitely much more fun. TPJC's one is too simple for my liking.

Oh yeah, I was told that I was quite good at dancing leh. My primary school friends and temporary orientation group mates say one. Kiat yong said I look damn sexy. :X Oh well..

whatever :S

Wednesday
Received the OG sorting that day. Castor 6. Samuel Tang is in the same group as me. I don't think he's happy about it because his bossom friend isn't there. :X Don't kill me, Ying qi. Okay okay, maybe he wasn't happy because me, the queen bitch is there, but oh well, we give in we take.

My OGMs are quite nice. What a relief. At least I didn't felt as if I was one of those fucked up orientations back in dunman where i have to mingle with people whom i dislike or can't click with. The people are quite okay this time, like those in TPJC.

CSI was generally okay, I guess. It's a buit boring though. I feel that it'll be great if games could be integrated into the CSI. It'll definitely be much better. And oh yeah, it'll also be great if they can allow loud cheers.

I signed up for Choir and Chinese Orchestra at the respective CCA booths. I have yet to come up with what I should join, at that point of time. Choir is more assuring, but Chinese Orchestra is definitely more interesting.

Thursday
We had our sentosa trip today. The trail was quite okay i guess. But I got really irritated by the activites after that. I was just too tired and worned out to do anything after that. I hated the Boom cheeka boom cheer in particular becasue it's super lame. At least the one in dunman looks sexy and bimbotic. This one can't make u horny at all. So un-boom cheeka boomish. Haiz...

Friday
Friday's the best day of the entire orientation programme. We had wet games today. Again, it wasn't as good as TPJC's one, but neither the less, fun. I'm most proud of the fact that Castors finally came in second for this, unlike the past events which we're always last. Rock on people!

I went back to dunman later for Mr Lee's pizza hut-dum-KFC treat. It was really nice talking to the 4cers again, even though it wasn't a full force, just the dnt students excluding the ever-eccentric Alan and Xu Yuan. Tsk tsk. Anyway, it's good to know that most of them are doing well. I heard Huiying wasn't too happy about her JC though.

Went back to MJC to discuss about the Campfire (also known as orientation night in tpjc) after that. My group didn't managed to perform due to the lack of time. Which is actually quite heng la, since we didn't really got it well-prepared sufficiently. Oh well, Castors got the last for Campfire. So suay. I thought Alhena would have won, but Sargas won instead.

Whatever. We got a super hard theme anyway so yeah, u get what i mean. It's only a natural thing that S****s won because the american idol and dance gig was really easy to pull off. I still feel that the same gig being pulled off by beetles, the who and abba in TPJC was generally much better than the one performed by sargas. Challenge me if u dare, Kiat Yong.

Screamed and dance like mad that night. Now I'm losing my voice from screaming too much. All in all, I feel that tpjc's orientation1 is definitely much better than MJC's o2. MJC's orientation really lacks competition. I feel so weird not hearing a bomb cheer at all. Well at least in tpjc, Eagles modified the bomb cheer into a shit cheer. As in

Eagles SHIT Eagles SHIT
Eagles SHIT on R.S (rolling stone)'s head!

I hope they'll establish an alliance-and-enemies kind of thing for the next orientation. The competition will definitely be stronger in this way.

I also feel that the way they try to get everyone involved in the performance is a bit redundant. Too much of a good thing is not good. Okay, I'm contradicting myself, but u get what i mean. It'll make the performance really boring.

I also hope that the wet games will be a muddy affair for the next orientation.

That's all people! Now I'm going off to sleep. zzz...

I decided on Chinese Orchestra over choir in the end. So fickle minded. Haha. I hope it'll turn out for the better. ;)

as expected...

2006-03-04T08:09:00.000+08:00

I got into MJC. What I'm even more happier about is that both raushan and victor didn't end up in mjc, but tpjc. It is not in my nature to gloiat about other people's misfortune, but if in the case of raushan, i believe i can save myself some slack. Oh yeah, clemmy is in tpjc too (and sciences course at that.)

Apart from them, I know of a few people who are going to tpjc. People like Bari, Rahman, Jibrail, Premjeet, Derek, Crystal, Deng Kai, Natalie, Syafiq, Ikmal, Rusydi, Agnes, Yan Ling and Estee. I managed to seive out these names from the pin up. I may have missed some people. It's not easy checking the no. of dunmanites out of the 840 something people who got into tpjc.

Joel is shitters man! He missed by 1 mark to get into MJC, and had to satisfy for a course in Singapore Polytechnic. Ai ya, who tell him to put MJC as his one and only choice for a JC la! Should he had put TPJC as his first choice, he would have a JC to fall back on. TPJC isn't exactly bad in the first place. The environment here is definitely more alive than i thought it would be.

Nuff' said.

I do know of a few people who arew going MJC though. Baybay, Sebastian, Hazirah, me, Nizham and Haziq from 4c. Clara, Kenneth L., Jean, Davis, Jeremy tan, Missy (pae-tpjcians.) And Pearlin, Chet Hong, Ying Xieng anddddddddddd... *raise hands in a nonchalent godly manner* charmaine. Yeah girl! I countering ur *shudders* with this. Kind of suit u, don't u think?

MJC's cut off points is actually reduced to 11 this year. I hasd somehow exceeded my expectations of the college, but i guess it's a good change. This being said, however, would mean that competition is going to be much tougher for the next batch of MJC students. I really hope to maintain my standard though. I'm scared of doing real badly there.

Whatever la.

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO gonna miss tpjc pae o6s05!!! It is them who has really made my stay in tpjc most memorable. The fabulous time we share ponning lectures and tutorials, PE (wahaha), our CG outings, chatting with each other. I know I'm just gonna miss them soooooo much. I really hope I can keep in contact with them after this. ALL OF YOU MUST MISS ME OKAY!!!!!!! COS I'M MISSING U ALL LIKE NUTS ALREADY- Chen Xi, Fatimah, Zheng Da, Adlin, Sharidah, Hong Han, Hainita, Yue Wen, Ying Zhen, Syida, Fenglin, Eileen, Joan, Marianne, Baizurah, Fui San, Tiffany, Eugene, Naqiah, Jacqueline, Ming Yi and Derrick. Spare me if I didn't include all names. It's really hard to conjure out 20 over names in one go.

I really hope MJC will turn out for the better. I don't deny that I'm scared. But I'm hopeful that god (whoever he is, jesus, allah, guan yin or whatever. Whoever is real in the first place...) will show me the way, and lead me to success. I'm swear that I'll work extremely hard and make it big. Hopefully luck will be on my side.

I gtg now. All in all, I just hope that you all will succeed in whatever path you are taking. Life is a bed of roses- it comes with both the torns and flowers. It just boils down to hardwork and a hell lot of determination at the end of the day. Tataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

sometimes i really don't understand myself

2006-02-25T22:57:00.000+08:00

i really don't understand myself at times. I used to be very really excited about going to MJC, but when i see a whole lot of dunmanites (with idiots like raushan and victor in particular) pouring into the school of my choice, i feel like banging my head on the wall. I know I prolly won't encounter them most of the time since I'm doing a very different subject combination from them, but i just can't help getting worried.

Enermies aside, I'm afraid I'll do badly in MJC. I hope to maintain my standard and become one of the top few in the school. I'm know I'm greedy la. MJC after all, has an astounding figure of the no. of students retained. Not getting retained will be good enough. I don't think I'll be that suay as to get retained unlike that victor kan, but the future is unpredictable.

Damn it. I had all the chances around me, and I had to give up an entire mountain for the sake of a piece of wasteland. TJC, SAJC, AJC and NYJC. I really really hate myself for not considering these choices. Well even Chen Xi, who lives in dover, is sincere enough to go to the tpjc in tampines despite the horrible 1 hour plus travelling time. Missy who is trying for SAJC, even though she lives in tampines. Ginger who is going to IJC. It makes me so ashamed of myself for putting MJC as my first choice, for the sake of sleeping untill 6.30-7.00, and 50 cents more per days. My mother is giving me more allowance since it'll save her money on bus fares.

Ying Qi made me feel really horrible the last time i talked to him. According to him, NYJC is much better than MJC. In terms of its facilities, study environment and the teachers there. And most importantly, the traffic in Hougang and Serangoon wasn't as heavy as my mother had described! And I live nearer to NYJC than YQ. Grr....

All in all, I really really hope MJC won't turn out as bad as I thought it'll be. It took me quite a long time, hestitating between MJC and TPJC. I didn't chose MJC because MJC will turn out for the worse.

Oh bother.

Mr Lee is going to treat us, the 4c dnt ppl to Pizza on Friday, 10th of March. Kind of ridiculous, I would say. Most JCs are having their orientations on that day. And it's not just any day of the orientation but the orientation night itself, the best part of of the entire orientation programme. Okay, at least TPJC's orientation night has been really great la. I'm not sure about the others but kiat yong and zhun yu says mjc's great, so i doubt it'll be any worse.

I'm planning to pon MJC orientation on that day though. That's if I was made to do some really embarrassing performance. Dayung sampan isn't very embarrassing la. I'm so glad I'm not the nerdy nerdy one, marwin performed. I just want to hang out with the 4C people while I still can la. It's horrible enough that we're not even close to having a full force, attedning the previous bbqs and outings, let alone, after we go our seperate ways. I know 4c to a certain extent, is un-united and all, but I don't believe that we don't develop any sense of belonging to each other after 2 years.

I found out that the Neil and Campell's Biology book is available for sale in TPJC's bookshop. The price is 63.50. Although a bit expensive, but it's definitely worth it. I'm gonna get it on Monday. And the biology and chemistry topical TYS of course. I feel so damn stupid at times, reading the biology notes repeatedly. Have yet to do something constructive apart from the handouts.

I'm going to really miss my friends from TPJC after they're gone. It'll be so different without them. Hopefully, we'll have our very last CG outing before we go our seperate ways. I suggest we pon GP and go out on Thursday! HAHA! I'll propose this on monday.

2006-02-21T17:08:00.000+08:00

i'm really really tired right now. :/

Ying Qi, the country bumpkin, has finally gotten an email address, msn, and handphone. I'm so darn proud of him, because he's no longer a country bumpkin anymore. I know I'm exagerating things la for fun ;), but it's really quite a breakthrough for someone like him la. Those close to him will get what i mean. The only thing he do with his laptop is playing mr bean before he goes to sleep. *tsk tsk* I shan't add in anymore details.

I've gotten over the fact that victor kan is going to the same school as me. Hell, I figured out that by revealing his name here, I prolly won't get sued anyway cos he don't have sufficience money to pay for a stupid lawsuit. Anyway yeah, I've gotten ove this becasue of the following reasons.

a) he's stupid and will prolly fail his promos with flying underpants.
b) he's just an irritating dingbat who did badly for the comb. sci in dunman but tycoed the o levels c. sci
c) i'm going to take a totally different CCA and subject combi from him, so why bother to fuss over this rite?

Yeah, I've really really gotten over this liao. It's only now that I'm starting to regret going to MJC, altogether. And it's not just because victor or whatever idiots are there la. It's just that with my aggregate, I could move on to greener pastures like ajc or sajc. As Ying Qi would have put it in, it's really a waste of my 9/8 points. Or rather what the chinese will call: sticking a fresh flower on cowdung. Go figure.

But I'm not at all bothered about the 'hao ma bu chi hui tou chao' saying la. Yes, it makes some sense, to a certain extent, but it's mostly stupid and unreliable. MJC is a very popular choice, after all. So having a low COP couldn't be helped, i guess. Besides, I'm not all that hot about joining the choir. I just don't like the idea of being made to do something I'm against.

And yes people, I know I confirm will get into MJC one. Unless the computers assigning us our choices, are infected with viruses la, and somehow post me to TJC or TPJC. But I doubt that will happen anyway. I heard the intake is going to be lowers to 11 or 12 this year. Quite a number of 10-12 pointers i know are applying for it anyway. Bottom line is, people with single digits will confirm get into a so called '3rd class JC' and MJC is the destination I'm bound to land in.

I also know quite a no. of HSCsian who are going there with 8 points or lower after deduction btw. I just hope MJC won't be as cheena as the rumour goes. Marianne said that it's an awfully cheena JC.

I hope the next chapter of my school life, will turn out for the better. I don't deny that I'm really really scared of post secondary school life in MJC, but i believe god, whoever he is, will lead me through the vissitudes of JC life and show me the path to success. Unfortunately, god has never been benevolent to me since the day i entered dunman untill my uppersec years. But still, I can hope for miracles to occur. ;)

Whatever. :S

I'm trying really desperately to shed some weight. I found out that my weight had somehow, increased by quite a no. of kg. Okay la, due to the lack of exercise and the post CNY effects. Dieting has NEVER been this hard. Damn. I only lost 1kg since the day I started dieting and it has been fluctuating ever since. Looks like I've got to try even harder than before.

I've gotten a hair cut liao. It's really quite satisfying this time. The hairdresser didn't destroyed my hair unlike the previous time! Haha. And it turned out just the way I wanted. I hope MJC will be a bit lenient on the hair issues though. My hair is just as long. I only asked the hairdresser to layer it. Hopefully, it won't grow that fast.

I shall stop blogging now and do some cell membrane recaps and econs revision. Bio can be so mind saturating, at times. Oh well. :/

I still like bio, anyway.

2006-02-16T17:35:00.000+08:00

I'm starting to regret putting mjc as my first choice already, even though the results have not been announced yet. I know it's ironic, but i know of two person, whom i really really dislike, who will be going to mjc too. Oh boy... I really don't wish to act bimbotic, but I really REALLY can't help it!

On the brighter note, I'm most likely going to do a totally different subject from them. I guess I shouldn't worry too much eh? Yet, I may be joining choir again mah, so it doesn't really make any difference lor! I hope CO don't take them in la. If not, I can really kiss goodbye to a nice JC life liao.

I had a good time bitching about these two people with two fellow dunmanites-cum-tpjcians. I can't reveal their names here, cos i may get sued for doing so. :X Okay okay, I shall stop rattling about the getting sued thingee la.

I've been partying since Friday though and have yet to get down to do some serious work. The only work i touched since friday was GP and maths? Haha. Have yet to do revision on biomolecules and re-revision on cellular structures and transport. How la... but i'm really not in the mood to do work leh. Laziness, I admit. I'm in a total holiday mood.

I found out that there are more people than i thought who are staying in TPJC. About half of my CG mates are staying. Sad la, I would have considered staying on if i knew that half of them are staying lor. It's a little too late for regrets now. I really hope i can keep in touch with 06s05 though. They're a bunch of really really On' people and it's them who have made my life in TPJC really really meaningful for the first 3 months. The best thing is... I CAN BE SURE THAT THE 2 PEOPLE I HATE WON'T BE GOING TO THE SAME JC AS ME!

As u can see, I'm really really disturbed by the existence of these two idiots, should they come to MJC. Can't help it. Being bitchy is one thing, but being bitchy for a reason is another. Sigh... whatever la. They'll most likely fail their promos with flying underpants anyway. I know slackers when i see them. Nuff' said.

I'm still looking forward to a wonderful life in MJC though. I hope that my new CG there will be as good as the present one in TPJC. Tata, people! More blogging when I have the urge to bitch about my life!

The conclusion

2006-02-12T19:41:00.000+08:00

I've came up with a conclusion on the kind of education path i would like to take. After much consideration, i decided that I shall leave TPJC and further my studies in MJC instead. It's weird... I know. I don't deny I'm worried about a stress-filled curriculum, but i believe that god, who ever he is, will see that i suceed in this path i've taken. I certainly hope that an education in MJC will turn out for the better.

A teacher once told me something like 好马不吃回头草， but i'm not a horse what. :X I'm a human being. Besides, I'm born in the year of the snake, not the horse.

Oh yeah, I also did it because I found out that the campbell biology book is available in MJC's library. I'm very very dependent on that book for Biology. It's a very very good book. Although a bit luo suo, but it'll be useful in the long run. I will buy the book itself immediately after i find it though. I don't want to get sued for an outrage of copyright laws.

Mdm Z replied to my letter. I'm so glad that she's really proud of my class's results, just as I am. It's certainly heartwarming to know that our efforts had paid off. I'm just so darn proud of the class that no words can describe the way i felt right now. In a nutshell, our results was awesome.

I'm looking towards a better life in MJC after the first three months. Hopefully the pastures are greener there. :)

results

2006-02-11T08:33:00.000+08:00

What a day! Only 3 people from my cg attended school today. Pathetic, I know but we're not the worse. 06s04 only has 2 person.

Since Fatimah is not taking econs h1 and maths h2, Fui san and me were the only ones going for the first two lessons. Mr Loke and Mr Ong ended up hearing me whine about how nervous i was throughout. I even showed them the DUA PEH GONG coin which was given at the temple. It was a token of good luck. I'm not exactly a very devoted Taoist, but at that point of time, I will believe in almost anything.

Miss Hilda Mak's lesson was interesting though. She shared with us about her JC or rather private school life. I shan't talk much about this her. Writing private stuffs like this is an infringement of privacy or WORSE! Kena sued by the whatever private school she was from.

I rushed back to dunman after that. I really can't help it la. My mind was too preoccupied with thoughts regarding the results, and it really made me wanna stone in the school.

I think I would have really suffered from a nervous breakdown, if the teachers were not present to calm me down. Mr Lee, Mr Tan and Ms Yew said I did very well in general, and it did made me feel much better to a certain extent. I mean all of us have different expectations for ourselves, I really have no idea what was their expectations of my standard. Becasue my ideal kind of results is 7-8 points with 6-7 distinctions. I believe I'll be able to do it; it's only a matter now of whether lady luck had indeed been by my side.

I freaked out in front of Mr Toh. I even showed him my Dua Beh Gong coin! Guess I really really can't help it la. It was at around 2 that time, half an hour more to the announcement of the results.

I went to the hall at 2.30 later. Firstly, I would like to congratulate Nabil and Dahlia for doing the school proud by scoring a monopoly of 8 A1s. Dunman did considerably well this year as compared to the previous batch. Well at least the sec 4 express did la. Ms Yes cried her hearts out for the sec 5 na's english results.

Anyway, what I'm really REALLY proud of the class is that we managed to get a net L1R5 of 12.3, and that all of us are eligible for JCs! It was so totally unexpected, since we didn't came from an elite triple PURE sciences class. We're the only class to have a full force eligible for a jc. Yeah, we simply rock! I'm so damn proud of all of us.

My results are as shown below:

English - B3
CL - B4
Bio - B3
Sci - A1
DnT - A1
A maths - A1
E maths - A1
Comb Humans - A2
L1r5=9 without bonus and l1r4=7 without bonus.
L1R5=8 with bonus and l1r4=6 with bonus

I was a bit dissapointed by my results innitially. It didn't fulfilled my criterion for the ideal results, 9 points with 5 distinctions. But I guess I'm really okay with it now la. An L1r5 of 9 is still quite good, anyway. :/

What I really can't stand was the bio results. The bio practical possibly killed the results. And I made the extra mile to do memory work for the theory after that lor. Lots and lots of it. Not to mention the 10 or so prelim papers Miss Lim gave us. It was just so so SO dissapointing.

But yeah la, I'm still going to do bio anyway. I love this subject and I'm not going to let failure mar my determination to not excel in this area. I know it's not beyond my capabilities to do well for this. I am not going to care about what other's say about my results either. It's my life and i make the final say of what i wanna do. After all there are billions of people out there, i can't possibly just a few comments suay me rite?

I'm really lost on whether to go to greener pastures or to stay in tpjc though. It's eithger MJC or TPJC la. I really really wanna make sure that my 12 choices are really worth it. At the moment, I'm still in the process of discussing this with my family and friends la.

Will blog more later, maybe after i came up with my 12 choices. :)

2006-02-08T12:42:00.000+08:00

Results are coming out real soon, and I'm really REALLY nervous about this. I have already started worrying about this during the last two weeks. I tried to tell myself not to worry, but I really can't help it. I was constantly reminded that the o levels results are coming out soon with every possible stimuli; ie. teachers and school work. I couldn't even stop worrying about this throughout the movie, mogeisha. The way Sayuri/Chiyo, try to prove herself that she can become a geisha, and the scene in which she was made to wait for a potential danna reminded me of the o levels. Weird, huh but it's really true! I really can't help worrying incessantly over this.

I have a killer intuition tells me that I'll most likely get an 8. It rarely fails me but i shouldn't take this too seriously either. It may be wrong for all you know. I know this may sound a little crazy, but during the o levels, I dreamt of myself doing a question on venice. Maybe, it's just a coincidence la since the paper is quite predictable. I also dreamt of myself writing for the essay 'journey', which came out for the prelims. Hell, an exact replica, yes! But what you really won't believe is that I predicted my PSLE score of 236 correctly! Coincidental? I really hope not. A L1R5 of 8 (or lower) is a good enough for me.

I seriously don't think I deserve a double digit for my o levels. It's just that I worked really REALLY hard last year, and getting a double digit will indicate that my efforts had indeed been wasted. There are many occasions I stayed up to 2-3am in the morning to do memory work okay, especially during the period when there's a DnT portfolio to complete.

How la?!?!?! This is so SO SO unnerving. Haiz, if only I've not been issued this stupid moe 'teaching as a career' letter, I wouldn't be worrying so much like now. And there's a post-release of o lvls results phase to be worried about later on. As in how are you going to make your 12 choices for the JAE.

I decided to stay on in tpjc or either transfer to mjc no matter how well or badly i did though. I really like my present CG and the teachers teaching us. They're really quite dedicated and the best part is that it's less stressful than MJC. I admit sometimes it's really good to be pushed, but pushing excessively is not good. Those who say that excess stress is good for a student, should drown themselves in a bucket of water. Too much stress and staying up extra late to do work is never good in the first place. Or at least in the long run. Besides, I really don't think I need to be pushed to work hard. I can do that on myself. I'm also quite good at self-motivation btw.

TJC is simply out of the question. I really don't want to assimilate myself into a totally different culture I've been exposed to for the past 10 years. Can't say I like the idea of becoming un-singaporean. The competition there is also quite tough, considering the fact that our l1r5s are quite close to each other's. I also don't wish to attend swimming lessons.

Oh yeah, did i mention that the best thing about tpjc is that they'll try to slot u into the same cg as u had in the first 3 months? Good rite?

Fatimah was telling me not to worry too much about mjc and that she said it might be better for me to go there. I seriously don't know. My mind is really in a mess now, to stay in tpjc or go to even greener pastures. TPJC itself is green enough (Wahaha! Apple green! see the releavance?) and I'm really quite okay with it. I just really really don't wish to spend extra time and efforts to adapt to the culture in MJC. It's just a bit too foreign for my liking.

I don't wish to blog anymore about this. I have the o levels results, which is more important, to worry about. I really really hope to get 8 points or less and at least 6 distinctions la. 7 points and 7 distinction is my kind of ideal results, but the formal will do anyway...

Haiz, if all these aren't happening so fast. In two days time, we're going to get our results already.

I guess I won't be blogging any more at the moment. Will blog about my results after I've received it.

updates

2006-01-27T19:18:00.000+08:00

Life has gotten quite hectic of the late. It makes me really wanna ~~bitch~~ blog all about it in this entry...

First and foremost, I've been selected to participate in this interclass debate. Or rather saboed la. I seriously don't feel like doing this debate. Not only am I a disaster in the english, the topic really turns me off. I'm suppose to be the proposition team for the topic 'Youth in Singapore lives passionately' btw. The topic is really really driving me kind of nuts lor. I can hardly think of any points, and the most of the points that me and my team mates could churn out are quite debatable.

I won't reveal the topics which my group have discussed here, just in case some intruders from S07 managed to bloghop into my blog. As much as the topic was a turn off, I wanna make the debate a really really good one... while i'm still in tpjc that is.

Choir sectionals on Wednesday wasn't as bad as i thought it'll be. My sectional leader is Sherlyn and she's really quite cool. The way she conducted her sectionals, was simply like the way that Mui Hia did for the sopranos. Really really good. It's really too bad the sectional leaders in dunman has gotten suckier after that year. The sec1-2 phase was really the most enjoyable phase in choir because mui hia was present to lead.

Anyway, back to choir. The alto section was really quite pathetic during the Wednesday sectionals. While the other sections had a full house attendence, only 7 altos were present for the sectionals that day. And it's inclusive of the JC2s okay? Only 2 JC1s attended.

I find that many people are rather shocked that I can sing an Alto 1 range. The guys from the choir opened their mouths agape when they found out I am from a treble voice section. Even baybay (from mjc) was quite stoned when i told her i was in alto 1. Hell, I did mention that I practise singing female J-pop songs every night, did I?

The sectional ended off with a stupid orientation, which i ponned anyway. They wanna play captain's ball for orientation okay? Which was kind of a waste of time. I had to cook up a stupid excuse in order to save myself from the orientation game. I mean I really don't mind playing non-sports related game like wacko but u want me to play sport games, i can call me to die la. I'm a really bad player at sports. The only sports I'd rather do is jogging.

Sometimes, I really think they should do away with all the cca orientation programmes. *mumble mumble*

Oh yeah, I seriously wanna bitch about the GP lecture yesterday. It's really such a turn off okay? I mean the way they try to make us learn so many key points within such a short time, it's really mind saturating. Most of us don't even have any contextual knowledge on what the heck they were talking about and they kept on blabbering on and on. I thihnk they ought to be a bit more considerate. Not many of us took history okay? For one thing i only take geography and SS in secondary school.

The debaters became really turned off by GP after the lecture. We just wasn't in the mood to do the debate anymore so yeah, we decided to do it on msn instead.

Went out with elroy, yvonne, joanne, cy, crystal and baybay after visiting mdm z. We'll really miss Mdm Z lor. I mean she is a really really great teacher and most of us respect her a lot. Even the 4as2004 came today to bid her farewell. Anyway, I hope that she'll be happy in perth la. I really hope that I can score that 7 points i aspired to. I really don't wish to let her down.

We went to eat long john's silvers and shopped at bugis junction after that. Elroy wanted to buy CNY clothes (and at so late a time -_-") And he shop more often than me lor.

As can see, I'm updating my blog less and less. I think I will be rather busy for the next few days, with debates and a hell lot of bio notes to handle. Not to mention the CO and choir practices. Will blog more later.

2006-01-20T19:59:00.000+08:00

TPJC has been really great... so far. For one thing, i find my CG classmates are a bunch of very sociable people.

Oh yeah, I'm admitted into alto 1 in tpjc choir. I don't know if this spells the beginning of a brighter future or the continuation of a prolonged nightmare, but whatever it is, I guess I'll just try my best and polish up on my vocals during the period. I can't possibly be judgemental about a choir if my vocal skills is already like shit. I haven't even really practised my vocals for like 6 months already. The only vocal practise i get is singing to myself while listening to Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro or BoA. I just hope that practices don't clash with CO. At least not before I make my choice of which area to specialise in even though I have a keen feeling that I'll be quitting after 3-4 sessions.

I would also like to point out that TPJC tutors are not as bad as how the rumour goes. They're really not that bad okay? It's just that most of the students are not able to handle the freedom given to them and lack self-reliance when it comes to their studies. It's just like miss lim's Biology classes. Her lessons are really interesting and easy to understand, but if one does not push himself to do well, he won't be able to score for the subject either. Okay, it applies to all subjects.

I just don't think TPJC is a very bad place to further ur studies. The lecturers may not be predominantly president scholars, but it boils down to hard work at the end of the day. I guess Hannan and Doreen are quite right about this point.

Anyway, I'll still put TJC and MJC as my first and second choice, respectively. It's easier for me travel to MJC btw. Speaking of MJC, I heard the release of the results has been pushed forward to the 6-10th of February. Apparently, the piece of information was available from the MJC calender. I'm not sure whether this is true or not. I don't deny that I'm scared. Especially for english and bio. Okay, make it all subjects! But i do hope that god will carry me over this obstacle I'm facing. It is just that I have worked really REALLY hard for this. Not doing well is simply out of the question.

I really have to start mugging the chem and bio notes now. Ciaos.

2006-01-17T17:14:00.000+08:00

i'm so tired right now....

Life in tpjc so far is quite nice. I really like the people in my new CG. The people there are really quite nice and fun to hang out with. For one thing, I didn't felt very alienated when with them. Guess it's because we all share a common interest ba.

Oh yeah, I went for the choir audition today. For the sake of Clara and Faisal. And I was the first person to be tested okay?! Anyway, I was told that by the conductor that i'll either get into alto or tenor. I think I'll attend a few sessions and see how lor. I was told by faisal that the conductor of tpjc choir is really much better than t*h. Much more humane that is.

I still wanna join CO la. I don't want to keep doing the same thing over and over again. Can't say my experiences in choir for the past few year was... memorable. Guess I'll just focus on choir and CO at the moment. Yep...

I finally got Ayumi Hamasaki's new album, (miss)understood. Somehow, the album isn't as nice as i had expected it to be. It's just not as good as her past albums like Rainbow and My Story. In a nutshell, the album is quite dissapointing. All devoted fans of Ayumi will definitely agree with me. The style is just too un-ayumish. A major contrast as compared to her past singing styles.

I'm going to mug my bio notes now. Ciaos.

i can't believe how moronic some people can get!

2006-01-11T18:54:00.000+08:00

I am so bloody pissed off with that stupid Deng Kai aka. neodonkey! It's wonderous why idiots like this exist on this planet we call Earth.

I told donkey this secret about this person from dunman whom i really dislike. And that idiot went to spread the message to this particular person whom i hate, herself! WTF! Stupid rite? Unless he lack common sense, it's kind of obvious that he was trying to piss me off. As mentioned, the person is a 'her'. Hence, you can expect an impending silent war. Great job, neodonkey! AWESOME!

Fortunately, this person isn't from the same civics group as me so we most prolly won't meet each other as often as expected. But then, I usually hang out with the dunmanites ma. How to not see her! @@$#!!@#

I don't wish to elaborate any more about this. I have other things to worry about apart from this. For one thing, the O levels results release is being pushed forward to mid february. I'm really scared okay? I mean i want to go to MJC, but i want to enter there with at least 8 points mah! And it's 8 points without cca deduction okay? Sigh... I'm really REALLY worried right now. And the only thing i can do to suppress this overwhelming fear is studying and playing computer game. Pathetic, I know, but it works.

Went for the CO orientation thingee today. Sometimes, I really think they should stop all these mini orientations and stuffs for prospective students, keen to join their CCA. It's really... a waste of time. I understand they had put in a lot of efforts but the games really turn a lot of us off. So yeah, i left in the middle of the mini orientation, using an excuse that i have another CCA. Can't help it, I was really too tired that time. I think i shall still join CO la. Beats joining nothing at all.

I'm really really fed up at the rate they take to import Ayumi Hamasaki's new album! I went to get the album yesterday, and the album still haven't arrive yet! WTF! What has happened to the J-pop scene?! Why are you all taking so long to import the album by the queen of j-pop! She's so much better than BoA okay? Tsk tsk. I think I will get the album this weekend. As a devoted fan of her, I really wish to get the album asap. Heard from Agnes that her MTVs were really good.

Oh yeah, my civics group is out! o6S05. I don't know if it is supposed to be a good thing or not. The good news is that I got the combination i want. Bio, Chem, maths (h2) and econs (h1). The bad news is that there's no other dunmanites around. Yeah, it's really going to be lonely. I really hope i can really adapt to the new studying environment though. It's going to be different... very different.

I still have to do some research on electron microscope and plant and animal cells under it. Biology's definitely going to be much tougher than i thought it'll be, since no textbooks are available for the first three months. I just browsed the notes, and it's quite obvious that self reliance is the key to survive the subject in the JC. So yeah, ciaos!

orientation rocks!

2006-01-08T20:49:00.000+08:00

TPJC orientation was really a blast. I really enjoyed myself during the past few days. This is really the first orientation camp i really enjoyed. It's very VERY much different as compared to those sucky ones we had in sec school.

Basically i was more sporting than i usually would lor, even though i'm still quite dead. Okay, I'm contradicting myself. I guess we must really give the credits to the OGLs. It was really them who made the orientation work out rite.

I dare say that i wasn't even a bit embarrassed for the orientation night performance. In fact, I really enjoyed myself during the performance. There were no adrenaline rushes. And my group was really the most outrageous okay? DAYUNG SAMPAN! Oh well, everyone gets embarrassed in one way or another during orientations, so i didn't really give a damn. Haha. The performance just seem very VERY normal to me.

Oh yeah, did I mention that i signed up for like 5 ccas? CLDDS dance (don't gloat!), Guitar, Chinese Orchestra, Interact & chess. I was kena saboed into CLDDS okay? There were these two guys from the group who ambushed me. They obviously won't let me leave if i don't sign up for it. In the first place, I don't think i'm really the kind of material for dance lor! I'm serious! Anyone who knows me well, will know what i'm saying. Anyway, I shall just attend the first few sessions and see how lor. But there's a 99% chance that i'll be quiting anyway.

At the current moment, Interact, Guitar and CO seems real cool. I joined chess (othelo) just in case none of the first few ccas will take me in.

I haven't bought Ayumi Hamasaki's album yet! I bet it must be out by now. Her album usually arrives 2-3 days after its release. Anyway, I obviously can't buy it tomorrow la. Tomorrow's gonna be quite hectic. Got this guitar thingee from 4-6 and another religious function to attend tomorrow.

I shall get it on Tuesday instead. I don't wish to delay this any further especially since lectures are officially starting on monday.

2006-01-04T18:36:00.000+08:00

thy shall not blog anything about tpjc orientation to abstian from being charged with defaming the JC. :)

... but it was quite okay la. Well okay, some what better than what i've predicted it to be.

I'm so totally fed up with my father, the monster of the house. They always say you should be respectful and all to ur parents, but since this is my blog, i reserve a right to bitch about it all here on the blog.

Imagine urself being tired and all worn out from the orientation. And then you're ordered to do housework the minute you got home! Fucking siao rite? I mean I like the process of cooking things, but not the cleaning and preparing part that comes with it! I detest cleaning in particular. The Come to think of it, i didn't even went to the toilet, from the time i got home. And no, I didn't entered the tpjc toilets once!

I did as told la, because i don't wish to bicker with anyone today. As much as I don't like to be forced to do something i don't wish to, i don't wish to make someone in the house unhappy, especially since he's my father. It's an act of respect after all, ma. So yeah I ended up chopping the vegetables. I tell you lor, the amount of vegetables he ordered me to chop is really crazy. It's two times of what me and my sister usually eat! In fact, my mother had been whinning that he cooked too much and that there are too much left overs in the end.

Okay, where was I? Yeah, so I ended up washing and chopping vegetables. Due to my bird brainess, i threw the stalks away. I was too tired okay? It would have been different if the JC i went to was MJ and not TPJC okay? Not to mention that MJC ended much earlier than tpjc.

Talking about MJC, I heard that people with 15 points also managed to get in. Heard from donkey and jeremy that Liju & Amos entered mj with 15 points with cca deduction. I guess the material that MJC wants are those who are more incline in their CCAs. I really don't understand what the big fuss about CCAs and all. It totally don't make sense. Why would you want people who are not as academically incline to study in their jc in the first place? It's the academic results that really reflects on how good you are in a partcualr niche area, and not CIP and CCA. I mean come on la, who will be crazy enough to become a singer after graduating with a bachelor in the sciences? It totally don't make sense... unless you have lots of cash for burning that is.

I shall not elaborate more about this. I'm just quite fed up with the big hoo ha about ccas. Anyway, I've been quite dead in my OG. I promised I tried my best to be more hyper than usual, but i'm not really the sort who can interact very well with others in just a few days. At least not in the area of physical games. Basically rite, I only know how to motivate myself to do well in my studies.

Anyway enough talk about the Orientation. I met a few seniors from dunman in TPJC. Faisal was persuading me to get into choir. Haha. In the first place, the thing that DMNchoir has taught me, is to never join a choir in a JC. Faisal said that he once thought that way when he first entered tpjc, but that changed when he entered the JC. Anyway, all people have to go through the audition also la. If i managed to get in, I'll see how then lor.

I'm going to get Ayumi Hamasaki's new album this friday. I don't know if the stocks have arrived yet, but i don't think it'll hurt to go and check the music stores during the break either. So yeah, I'm most prolly going to take a peek if the seniors allow me to la. I'm performing for the orientation nite la. Don't Laugh. I'm going to be the best Mr Dayung Sampan u all ever seen okay! :X

resolutions for the new year

2006-01-01T17:36:00.000+08:00

(As always -_-,) I'm looking forward to a good year in 2006. Hey, it always better to be a bit positive rite? Besides, I'm getting my o lvls results around late february. Anyway, here goes...

To get sufficient sleep
That's rite! I'm making this point to sleep by 11.30. Too bad la, I have this thing about waking up early in the morning. It is quite impossible for an alarm clock to wake me up in the morning. Okay, it applies to times before 7am. I have overcome this habit la. NP or TJC is far away from pasir ris. This is quite possible okay? It is just that this year was quite bo-pian due to DnT.

To do better in my studies
I hope to do H2: Chem, Bio, Maths and Economics when i go to a jc or biotechnology if i were to go np. They don't offer triple sciences anymore. I'm just so damn glad they're not taking in ppl with triple sciences only into the faculty of medicine. Check the NUS webbie for more info. Anyway, i think i will set a rather high target for myself if i were to go to a jc la. Because i don't think an L1R5 of 8 (wo cca deduction) is very impossible for me to achieve.

Oh yeah, add in Gp and MTL too. I really hope to do better for English and CL. I can't say i'm a very language person.

To widen my social cycle
Hokay... As all who knows me well, I'm not a very zhu-dong person la. For one thing, I'm to a large extent, a very independent person. I don't respond very well to jokes and yes, i can't tell good jokes either. Hey, no one's perfect okay? Anyway, yeah i do hope to get to know more friends la. 2005 has been a very dead year for me.

Grow taller
I don't think 167 cm makes a very ideal height for a guy. Asian guys are supposed to be shorter than the caucasians but i'm considered short for my age okay? And I am taller than both my parents. -_-"

I think that's about all. I hope my results will be as good as what i've expected it to be though. I'm worried about english and biology.

I'll be getting my merit bursery of S$250 tomorrow. I wonder who I'll meet there. Hmm...

2005 in a nutshell

2005-12-31T21:59:00.000+08:00

I would like to do a good review of this year before the new year arrive in about 2 hour time. All in all, I would think that 2005, was a rather good year for me, despite the hectic-ness due to the O's.

I will branch my life out into several cagatories for clarity.

Studies
Well, all I can say is that, my studies for this year, wasn't very bad at all. In fact, it was better than what I've expected. I'm really glad the teachers are there to motivate us to do better in our prelims and o levels, becasue without their encouragement, I believe we won't be able to do as well. The stress to do better in our studies was there due to the astoundingly good results of the 2004 batch, and that also motivated us to do even better for the O's. Afterall, there's a standard to maintain.

My english has improved by quite a fair bit however. No thanks to the way-below-standard english tuition at the british council but thanks to the phrasebook. Students who require english tuition, I suggest u don't go there. The standard is really sub-par. Just listen to ur teachers and do as much english compres as possible.

Anyway, I'm missing the point here. Basically, I REALLY detest DnT now. I used to be delighted in doing the subject and was passionate to make it big by becoming an interior designer. But the subject killed my interest to do so! Irony. The hecticness when doing the project and folio, didn't came across my mind when i first took the subject la. FYI, there is quite a lot of times i stayed up to 3am to do the folio okay? You think two volumes very easy to make meh?

On the contrary, I was beginning to like Biology more and more after this year. Hell, yes, the second irony. Biology was the second subject i hated the most, but it changed this year. Most of the credits go to Ms Lim of course. I can't say i can understand Mrs Sim's biology lessons at all.

I believe i can do better for the o levels than the prelims la. I don't think an r5 of16 points makes the cut for an ideal aggregate. I hope to get an 8 at least without cca deduction.

To summarise it all,
Favourite subjects: biology, sciences, a&e maths.
Subjects i detest: chinese and SS.

CCA
Choir was getting more and more on my nerves this year. I shall not elaborate more about this issue, because some crazy dmnchoir evangelist might be reading this. Singing won't benefit you if you do not wish to become a singer. Stop the thing about singing relieving stress and all! You want to sing, you can do it the cheap way by listening to ur mp3 and singing to urself. Alternatively, you can sing in K-box if you don't mind the cost.

Glad to say, I'm very happy after graduating from Choir! No lionking, no long hours of singing til you tonsils gets sore and *tada * no RATs! Woops was that too loud? Anyway, the thing that choir has taught me over all these years, is to never do something that you are not interested in. I was too traumatised to take that as a cca anyway.

Friendship
Well, this part gives me a bittersweet feeling. Even though I've never been really very active in class, I guess this was the year I really got to know my classmates a little better than i normally would as compared to the previous years. I'm really grateful to Anisah, Hazirah, Nethra and Jeryl and all of you out there, who has influenced me to do better for my studies and really counted me as a friend. In fact, as i'm writing this entry, I'm beginning to miss the times i had during these two years in 3/4c.

However, I can't say my friendship with ppl outside the class was exactly good la. I miss talking to YQ! It's just that we hardly talked this year, and i was looking forward to a good converstation with him after the o's. It is just that he's so witty and all, most of the time you'll be laughing your ass off when the hidden meaning is prolly an insult to you. And we're just normal friends okay? I is just that I enjoy witty converstations.

+++++

The hairdresser DESTROYED MY HAIR yesterday! I was telling her to cut my hair shorter by a bit, but untill that short lor! WTF. The back is rediculously short as compared to the length i used to cut untill, which totally don't make sense at all, because the hairdresser know my standard. It is not that horrid, but i find it hard to adapt to my new hairstyle la. I'm already very used to my previous hairstyle. Changes are good, but only when you can adjust to them.

I changed my specs already. I gave up on the idea of getting contacts due to the high cost of maintanence, and not the conjunctiva infection and all. I don't get a lot of allowance from my mother okay? Besides, there are more reasonable ways to spend ur money.

Anyway, I settled for a pair of black specs. Not the really twitish emo specs kind, but a normal specs with thin frames. My sister said it made me looked different. Well okay, because the lens of my previous pair of glasses was very flawed. Anyway, I like my new specs la, though i think i will look better with contacts.

My mother returned from the hospital yesterday. The doctor said she suffered from a very minbor stroke. I guess it must have been hard on her this year. I heard from my aunt that she faced a lot of stress at work. And because I'm doing to O levels, she also faces stress too la, especially duing the period when i was doing my dnt folio! I doubt any parents, in our time, will not face stress when we're doing an important examination.

Anyway, she's feeling quite okay now la. I do hope my prayers were answered by god. She had not gone for a full scan yet.

I'll blog more when the urge arrives again (as always). Ciaos!

2005-12-29T21:10:00.000+08:00

Some senior from tpjc called today. It seems that my group for the orientation is Eagles, group 16. Haha, I think the senior is quite cute. She warned me not to skip the orientation at the last bit. Lol, in the first place it is so easy to trick the doctor into giving us mcs.

I'm not going to pon the orientation la, even though I'm not really keen to go. I heard the orientations for the past year, were dead. Yet, it's not very sporting if i absent myself. Oh well, I can always hope that things will get better in the new year. I can't say my sec 1 orientation was great. =S

I think I should update a little about yesterday. I was going back to dunman, with anisah and hazirah, to give the teachers our belated teachers day gifts when i received an sms from my sister. Apparantly, my mother had to be hospitalised with immediate effect. The left side of her body felt numb. I rushed back home to await the news of her condition, but it was futile since the medical report will only be revealed to her tomorrow. Guess my mind was really in a whirl at that point of time. The doctor has assured us that there's nothing wrong with the brain. Stroke is a condition whereby there is a blood clot in the brain.

I've been praying to god for my mother. I just hope that god bless her and that nothing serious happens to her. I know it is wrong to force god to bless her, but as a strong devotee to the taoism, i think she deserves their blessings. Especially during a critical time like this where one's health is concerned.

Once again, I would like to apologise to Anisah and Hazirah for aeroplanning the both of you during the last minute. I hope that everything went well for you both yesterday.

Merry Christmas!

2005-12-25T21:34:00.000+08:00

Yeah, I'm not a christian, but who cares? Anyway, christmas is an event that almost all races celebrate... Well okay, the only part i enjoyed a bit was the Christmas sales. The bad thing is that while prices are slashed like crazy, the stocks look very worn out and... old. It's definitely not worth the price.

Anyway, I went shopping again for CNY clothes yesterday. At Seiyu & OG, Bugis. Despite the attempts to find something decent, I didn't manage to source out anything nice at all. to put it crudely, the designs of the male apparrels they sell this year... really.... sucks. I don't know what the management are doing, but by selling tees with labels like "bad boy', I think they're digging their own graves. Because, not only they're not going to sell, they're going to tarnish the company's image.

So yeah, I didn't bought any clothes at all. I'm also trying to abstain from buying Billabong shirts and any Jeans for *certain* reasons, which i will not disclose here. 80% of the tees that OG sells are for women, so no. All I bought at the end of the day, was a Deuter Bag and 2 gifts for my mother and sister. Okay, add in a black peppered chicken from Carefore. I figured that if i can't have turkey, I might as well settle for its relative instead.

Oh yeah, congratulations Charmaine on entering MJC. Looks like I won't be seeing her in TPJC after all. Hey, anyone who knows me got into TPJC also? As far as I know, donkey and shi yong (from pvps) is like the only two people whom i know, got into tpjc too. I heard from charmaine one la.

I'm planning to make my glasses and contacts tomorrow. There are stuffs, i wished to do, that are still left undone. I haven't even gotten my stationery ready for school. It looks like I'm going to spend the last few days of the holidays fussing over these matters.

I guess it is all that I can say for now. Bye!

I didn't get into MJC after all...

2005-12-23T16:01:00.000+08:00

Oh well, no phone calls came tday, so i reckon that MJC didn't accept me after all. As mentioned, I'm really okay with TPJC la, so I didn't felt very pissed that i couldn't get in. Okay la, maybe just a bit sad, not to the extent that i'll cry or torment myself by repeating degrading terms like "I'm a failure." Life is never fair in the first place and we just have to get on with it.

So much about getting MJC. I pray that my results for the real thing will trash all the PAE MJCians butts when they arrive. In the first place, using our prelimary results to enter the Jcs is not fair at all. Look at the past JCs orientation photos and you get what i mean.

Woah, I'm not sad about the MJC thingee okay? It is just that i'm very fed up with the PAE thingee. The way they make us enter JCs with prelimary results. It's just so very not fair. I mean I understand that they wanna make us die for the prelims so that we'll be motivated to do better for the real thing, but this is really dumb. Motivation is a thing that you either have or lack. At the end of the day, no one can motivate you at all if you don't wish to motivate yourself. That's what I've learnt in my entire course of secondary school education.

Anyway, back to the main issue. I'm actually quite relieved that I didn't get in la. I don't wish to be "lacking behind" in terms of my academic capabilities as compared to the others. I guess that is also the reason why Elroy is appealing for TPJC even though he can enter VJC through DSA already. I know I won't be like lagging, to the extent that i'm like shit, but it don't helps to know that your L1R5 is a far cry as compared to the others. In fact, it'll only demoralise you further.

I guess that's all that I can say for now la. Being in TPJC is good, such that you know that you'll be one of the top few people in the level for the first three months. There are people who enter TPJC with low points, but who cares? The majority are getting like 17, 18 or so with CCA deduction and that's what matters. Besides, that MJC don't even allow me to take Economics H2 for the first 3 months.

Okay, back to something more recent. I went to extend my passport at the immigrations and collect my mp3 player today. Yeah, it's fixed, so at least there'll be something i can use to entertain myself for the first three months. I miss singing though. Not choir songs, but rock and pop la. Which nut will listen to choir songs except for those siao pro-choir people anyway? In a while later, I'm going to port my songs into the mp3 player.

I'm going shopping tmr. It's going to be crowded, but who cares la. As long as there are cheaper stuffs to buy, that's okay for me.

Anyway, I look forward to a good time in TPJC and a better year in 2006. I just hope I'll do as well as this senior whom I know, who got in from TPJC to TJC.

I'm going to play some diablo II now. Ciaos!!

I've submitted my appeal form today.

2005-12-20T22:57:00.000+08:00

Yeah, I decided to try my luck after all. The good thing is, they allow us to choose the courses we want in the option form. We're given two choices in total. Unfortunately, the courses I'm eligible for are those 10 academic units or below (since my L1R5 of 16 without cca deduction isn't great.) Hence, I chose the same course, just that the humanities subjects for both options differ. Economics as the first, the latter being Geography.

I think I better start praying that i can gain admission into the MJC. It is not that I'm unhappy with TPJC or anything la. I know the previous entry sound a bit emo, but i really have nothing against TPJC okay? It is just that MJC is near my home, and it'll be more accessible than the other JCs. I'm not concern about the presence of good friends or not. Because, I really have no good friends in either JCs. Only a handful of people from class are entering JCs or CIs for the first 3 months. As far as I know, the only close person i know who will most prolly be doing biology too is YQ. And I don't know him that well okay?! In fact, we hardly even talked much this year. Okay la, Serene may also be doing Biology too.

Oh well, I guess I should let things occur in it's own pace. I believe God (whoever he is) is wise and will bestow me a JC, where I can do well in. I see no point, in struggling in a rat race which i should never compete in the first place. In fact, I was telling Carrie that I will not go to a JC if I cannot cope with that kind of life for the first three months. I see no point in making my life miserable for two years. Life is not just about academic achievements. It is also about enjoying what you do.

I'm thinking of switching to contacts. My mother is against it, but I really don't give a hoot la. I mean I understand that insufficient care can lead to conjunctiva infection (pink eye), but if it is for the sake of beauty, I can bear with the risk. So far, the only person who disagree that I look better with glasses, is my sister. Zhun Yu was persuading me to take off the glasses last year after seeing my IC. I'm making one with my own money la. My mother will not subsidise something that she don't believe in.

I'm going to Hazirah's house to do the teacher's day card tomorrow. Ciaos.

why i ought to be an mjcian

2005-12-17T21:23:00.000+08:00

I didn't slept well last night. Despite my jubilated appearance yesterday, deep down i feel very miserable that i did not managed to get into the jc of my choice. It sux to know that you lack by that bloody 1 points to get into the jc you want to get into. Apparantly, Serene who has also achieved an L1R5 of 16, like me, managed to get into mjc due to CCA deduction. I know it is quite useless to whine right now, but i just couldn't help it. It really... REALLY sux big time.

I still stand by my original intention to bank on my studies instead of the dumb cca la. I would have done even worse for the prelims if i did not deliberately flunk the bloody audition. Never liked that CCA after my sec 2 year anyway. It is not as if singing can get u anywhere if you want to become a doctor or biotechnician. I can only blame it on my lousy SS score for the prelims. See la, Onn Kit! This is what you get for not focusing on the correct topic, or rather focus on the easier topics. I practically dug my own grave by attempting the Industrialiasation question, which requires a lot of elaborations out of the textbook. And scored a single digit for that btw. -_-

Ai ya, how? I'm still in a dilema on whether to appeal or not. The fact that tpjc is accepting ppl with an L1R5 of 17 with cca deduction indicates that their jc is not very good after all. And they're suppose to be the middle jcs. On the contrary, it is good to know that you are one of the better people in the jc and have a higher chance of taking the subject of your choice. I want to do economics and biology btw. I heard that geography a lvls will make your brain melt.

As mentioned, i just don't wish to be put in a tight spot whereby i have to be forced to take physics. I can't even get the resultant thingee for RV a maths into my head for goodness sake! How do you expect me to do physics. Tension is calculated in that way too.

So much about taking triple sciences. I should just satisfy for a double instead. -_-

Ok, I'm out of point. See the topic. Haha. I still feel that they should let me enter mjc la. It is not as if I don't want to get in there anyway. I mean of course i will go tjc if i get an L1R5 of 8 (without cca deduction) if i have the chance to la. Who wouldn't go to a place where the pastures are greener anyway? But there is a 70% chance i'll land in mjc after the release of the results mah. Loyalty points should only be offered to those people who are sincere and sure that they will enter the school after that. Okay, make it a 60% chance that they will enter mjc for jae. Why offer points deduction to thsoe who are not keen on joining anyway.

The second reason, being I think i will do much better for the real o levels. Hokay, I know this is a very bad excuse, but you want those who are really much brighter rite? Why take in people who do well for the prelims but sucks for the real thing. Especially for humanities. SS for the prelims is so predictable as compared for the real thing. Many schools focused wrongly. Fortunately, I focused correctly! Vomited an exact replica of information stated in the textbook. Doing well for SS, is an indicator that you should get an A1-A2 for o lvls humanities already.

Let's move on to the aesthetics. I think... a blue uniform will look splendid on me. :X. I know i will not be wearing the uniform for the first few months, but it beats staring at a sea of people clad in apple green uniform anytime. Apple green uniform is FUGLY! I repeat! F-U-G-L-Y! Beat that ppl. Their PE shirts are even worse. They look so tight and obsolete for goodness sake. Like the old ngee ann PE tees. The designers of the PE tees should really drown himself in a bucket of water la.

Okay, I'm missing the point. The point is blue uniforms and their pe tees look much more sexy than the tpjc one. Aesthetics has always been very important to me.

The last reason, being I just live down the streets near mjc. A student with sufficient rest will definitely do better than those who live far away and has to travel quite a distance in order to reach the school. It's true okay! Think biology and you will understand why. Sufficient rest beats no rest at all.

I think I've stated sufficient reasons for the school to accept me, just that not all are really valid. Especially for the aesthetics part.

More blogging later perhaps. Ciaos.

I got the PAE posting results le!

2005-12-16T21:02:00.000+08:00

As expected, I've been posted to TPJC. Even though not as good as MJC (which is a stone's throw away from my home), I guess it'll be quite okay for the first three months. I don't even know if it is a fortunate thing that the standard of tpjc has dropped to the extent that many people who are supposedly less academically inclined than me are entering the jc. The good thing is that there is a higher chance for me to do bio, and the con is that i may feel degraded after entering tpjc and opt for a poly instead. I heard their lecturers are like Mrs Esther Ng, who can't really teach but insist on doing so.

I seriously don't know whether to appeal for MJC or not la. I don't wish to be put into a tight spot whereby i have to take physics. Sub physics is already a far cry from the pure one and we're going to learn even more on top of the pure physics thingees for a levels. Come to think of it, i'm not even getting like above 80% most of the time for physics. Thanks to my carelessness. Oh well, at least i'm getting above average results for maths, a maths in particular.

I still feel so cheated by the monster. The bloody boss of the events co-ordinator thingee la. CY actually asked me to try for this job as a merchandiser, which pays really good btw($250 a week.) Unfortunately, it'll extend to the 27th of January. Talk about demanding. I of course, will not do it la. I don't think it is very nice to aeroplane the jc, like the asshole who aeroplaned me. Also because, I don't wish to miss lessons la. It is bad enough that i'm not doing pure chem already.

As usual, i played Diablo II for the entire day. This time as a Sorceress. I had actually intended to play as a necromancer, but i heard it is really hard, so i took her for a change instead. She quite good la. Just that it takes a lot of planning on which skills to bank on. I banked on fire blast since it is the most powerful offensive move she could learn. Overall, i think the sorceress in diablo II is much more powerful thna the sai sorcerer in diablo I. That one is really like sai la, i played for like 15 minutes for the first quest tt time and died. -_-" So dumb rite?

I think I really have nothing much to blog liao la. Life's just so dead currently. the only thing i can be happy about is the shopping trip on monday. SEXY elroy will be there too so i doubt it will be very dead la. Haha. I haven't gone out in eons!

Ciaos. More blogging later... :P

FUCK!

2005-12-13T22:24:00.000+08:00

I found out that my boss HAD indeed aeroplaned me. Apparantly, they're sticking to the event coordinators who they had hired since the beginning. I can't believe that i actually lost a job because i actually missed the call from the boss! All because i was doing my no.2 business. Shit. Like how the hell am I suppose to find a job in less than a month's time? At this point of time, they'll prolly only hire those who are willing to work for more than two weeks. Most part time jobs are already taken.

Oh well, perhaps it is a blessing in disguise. It is pretty useless to whine now anyway. -_- I guess it is quite inevitable that i have to withdraw money from the bank for shopping after all.

I feel like doing some designing job again. I still hate designing la, but if it is for the sake of money, I think I can do it. What can I say? Money makes my world go round. But i doubt anyone wants to hire me. My niche is in product & interior design, not graphic design. And I lack the expertise for these too. It is just too bad I didn't took Art in the first place. Perhaps, it'll be a different story as from that of today if I took in the first place. Thankfully, I'm not part of the Nexus crew this year. At least i don't have to spend my half of my entire holidays painting the school.

I think I'm becoming a housewife with each day. I'm still a VIRGIN la! It is just that me and my mother are the only ones dealing with housework these days. Housework = mopping the floor, sweeping & cooking. Haha. Too bad la, my sister is pretty useless around the house. AS far as I remebered, the only housework she did that was taxing enough was mopping the floors yesterday. And I doubt she'll do it anymore.

Three more days to the release of the pae posting results. I feel so sinned currently. I haven't even gone to pray at the the Guan Yin Temple yet. I know it is not my faith, but at this point, i bet all the paranoid people like me will try to garner as much blessings as possible la. Like my mohter in perticular. :X I think she pray for 3 religions. Buddism, Taoism, and this i thai god or something before my psle results release.

God has to bless me okay? I've always been a good samaritan mah. 0 :) Not meh? lol. :X

Did two IQ tests today...

2005-12-11T19:42:00.000+08:00

Did two IQ test today. It's one of those very random free iq tests u find on the internet. and no, it's not the stupid iq test from blogthings -_-'. It was timed okay, so i guess it will be pretty reliable. Oh well, i should stop rambling on and on. The point is the scores for both Iq tests differ. One gave me a 115 while the other gave me a 125. The mean is 120, which is fortunately still above average of that of the norm (100). Bet my EQ was 30 only... :S

Played Diablo II today for a while, but i got sick of it after an hour and switched to POKEMON EMERALD VERSION. The rom la. I won't waste my money on a stupid gba game like pokemon. I don't even have the console. Anyway, i only played it because i really have nothing to do la. I was just not in the mood to play 'Harvest Moon FOMT' or the lousy 'Sims 2'.

Speaking of which, i went to 'Yan Palace Restaurant' for dinner yesterday. My taxi driver father managed to book an private room with some of his taxi driver friends. there were ten courses in total, but none of the dishes were really that good la. I was hoping for some authentic shark fins soup but they didn't order. Bloody hell. I was rambling that he wasted his money and that a bowl of sliced fish soup is more fulfilling. True what?! I didn't felt very full after the ten courses. There were like 12 people in one table. U think I dare eat so much meh? It is so barbaric. Besides I'm on a diet. -_- Found out that i gained 4kg from my weight and shrunk by a cm in height.

Watched MDWAV today (again.) It is a very interesting drama la, just that it is a bit... obsolete. NVM. Anyway, I have three more episodes to watch before the entire drama ends. I'll need other CDs to entertain myself after that. Anyone can send me some animes or Japanese dramas. I don't want idol dramas from taiwan hor! Taiwanese 'idol' dramas are for pussies. It is just that it makes me sick to see them emulating the Japanese.

I'm nervous about the release of the PAE posting on the 16th. It is just that i want to enter either mjc or tjc after that la, and mjc will definitely make the best choice out of the options i chose. Oh well, at least KIAT YONG do not need to worry anymore. -_-'. But he'll prolly get into an Art's course for the first three months. Sorry lah, Sebastian. Seriously speaking, there is little chance that they're going to let u get into a sciences stream with an L1R5 of 18 with cca deduction.

Haiz, if only there was an easier route in Singapore for entering the medical school in NUS. I don't think I make the cut for a language person (underlying assumption = I think I'm going to flunk GP and MT with flying underpants.) I don't even like reading the straits times except for the life section. Oh well, I'll determine my choice after the first three months intake. Hopefully, it'll be a completely different story as to what i've predicted.

Won't be blogging untill the urge arrives. Bye.

A very very mundane post

2005-12-08T19:31:00.000+08:00

I've been trying to download ayumi hamasaki's 'bold & delicious' and 'pride' mp3s. I know those songs don't sound very nice, but being an authentic fan of ayumi hamasaki, i must get those. I am aware of all the issues on piracy, but i will get her new album when it arrives in 2006 la. If I'm not wrong, her upcoming album is entittled (miss)understood.

Played Diablo II today morning. Too bad la, I really have nothing to do. I'm playing the nightmare level of quest 1-4 currently. The nightmare level... is not easy. I died a few times, and found out TODAY that everytime you die without money, they will take away ur experience. WTF! I was like 10000 expts away from the next level and they took away 20000 of it. I died quite a few times when i was surrounded by this horde of dumb monsters. There was like 20+ of them surrounding me?

I know i now have sufficient money to buy the psp value pack with a game, but I'll be really broke after buying that. Blame my bloody boss la. Waited for so long still don't call me for an event. @#!$@!~@#!@$... Oh well, fortunately i still have a merit bursery cheque to be happy about.

I think my pimple plantation is worse than i thought. I know a stress-free environment is doing my complexion a lot of good, but it is not enough. Too bad la, the pimple problem has been prolonged since my sec 1 days. Thanks to the incredulous amount of peer pressure i suffered that time. Now the pressure has been shifted from peer to my studies. I'm currently washing and applying clindamycin on my face three times a day. Hopefully, by the end of the month, a miracle will happen.

My mother is more worried than me about the pimples outgrowth. Apparantly, she is thinking about sending me to the National Skin Center to receive treatment. But it'll be ex la. Oh well, chang tong bu ru duan tong. The pain you feel after spending a large amount of money, of course.

I re-watched the Hong Kong drama 'My Date with a Vampire I" today. It is such a sad thing that in the next sequel(4), that Kuang Tien You and Ma Xiao Ling are not going to appear anymore. It won't feel the same without them. It is their presence that made the series authentically MDWAV mah. After all, they appeared in all three sequels. Any fans of the drama will definitely share my point of view. Anyway, the next sequel focus on their daughter, Kuang Tien Ya and of course the killing of vampires.

It is only 8 days before the announcement of the PAE posting results. Hopefully, I can get into MJC or TPJC sciences. I MUST get in. I just don't wish to go to CJC or SRJC la. They don't fit the bill for anyone's ideal jc to further an education. CJC is famous for the high abortion rate btw, but i'm not really all that concern about that. I'm more concern with its accessibility.

Oh well, I better pray that god bless me. WAH! JESUS, GUAN YIN, ALLAH! lol. :)

some updates...

2005-12-06T23:02:00.000+08:00

I... think... i regretted putting down catholic jc sciences as my third choice for a jc in the pae option form. Oh well, it is too late to make amendments anyway. I think I'll try and appeal for SRJC if i suay suay get into CJC. It'll be much more convenient anyway. I'm praying that MJC or TPJC will take me in. They HAVE to take me in. I don't think SRJC is a very good choice either.

Sometimes, i think the kind of L1R5 grade we score in school for the prelims is really crap. I'm like somewhere in the top 25% of the entire school and my l1R5 is 16 without cca deduction. And those above my rank may not score as well. WTF. Besides, i think that my results for the real thing will definitely be much better than the prelims. Especially for humanities. Bloody hell.

I suddenly feel like going to a polytechnic instead of my original intention to enter a good JC. They don't even offer triple pure sciences anymore. Only the elites can take those, and i just don't think i'm cut out for that course lah. I don't wish to end up like Mrs Sim, who obviously must have suffered from a copious amount of brainwork because of the bald patch on her forehead. Men ARE more prone to hair loss.

Nope, i didn't play any games today. Completed the lousy Sims 2 gba game le. As expected, horrible games have horrible endings. Don't buy the game la. Buy the computer version of 'Sims 2' instead. It is defintely more worth it. I know it is a different kind of play, but the pc one is defintely more worth it.

I suddenly have an urge to do biology essays again. Thanks to the copious amount of memory work i did on the subject, i'm quite glad to say that they're still quite fresh in the head. Let's see...

Explains the menstrual cycle. (10 marks)

Each menstraual cycle last for 28 days. Firstly, the anterior pitutary will secrete the hormone, FSH (follicle stimulating hormone). A hormone is a chemical substance secreted by an edocrine gland, directly into the bloodstream and affects the activity of the target organs. FSH stimulates the primary follicle in the ovary to mature into a graafian follicle. Each graafian follicle have a fluid filled space with a potential egg cell. It secretes the hormone, oestrogen. Oestrogen stimulate the growth of the endometrium lining on the uterus wall, for inplantation of the egg. high amount of Oestrogen stimulate the secretion of LH (luetenising hormone) by the pitutary. High amount of LH causes the graafian follicle to repture and release the egg cell into the oviduct. The remains of the Graafian follicle then develops into a corpus leutum. The corpus leutum will secrete progesterone and some oestrogen. Progesteron further thickens and develop blood capillaries on the endometrium lining. Each egg usually last for around 1-2 days in the oviduct. If no implantation should occur, the corpus leutum will break down after some time. As progesteron and oestrogen is secreted to maintain the endometrium lining, it'll break down after secretion of the hormones stops. The 28 days cycle is then repeated.

Good hor? I think it should carry about 7-9 marks la. Think Miss Lim will find some fault and deduct some marks from this kind of essay which i wrote la. I don't think all of the spelling are correct either.

But i think this is pretty healthy... in the long run since i will prolly engage in a biology related career when i come to age. I don't really wish to deal with math or languages la. My flair for additional maths is so obviously fake. I don't think I'm cut out to be an engineer anyway. I don't think my physics is good.

NVM, something interesting cropped up today. My relatives came la, and they were asking where am i going for a vacation. As usual, i told them about my mother being paranoid about the outbreak of mozzies, the AVIAN bird flu and terrorist (Bali bombings). I almost wanted to add oil to fire by telling them about the Tsunami last year, but i didn't la. I don't wish to disgrace my mother any further. My relatives laughed. Who wouldn't? These are blatantly dumb excuses for cancelling holidays.

I want to go out and do some shopping. The christmas sales has already begun. Go and get ur CNY clothings, people. The CNY sales are dumb excuses for companies to clear unwanted post-christmas sales products.

since i have nothing to do anyway...

2005-12-05T22:06:00.000+08:00

I know i said i wouldn't blog about the new GBA version of the 'Sims 2', but i changed my mind. I doubt the EA people will see my blog anyway :P

Generally, the GBA version of the 'Sims 2' is rather sucky lah. Anybody who played the other two versions will definitely agree with me. Let's mention the improvements made, first.

Firstly, the minigames in the new game are much more challenging than the other two. The only game which was easy to me was 'bigfoot loves chicken', a game that is loosely based on the game, Mastermind. The other games are much more challenging than those in the the previous versions. Even with the help of the emulator, it is still quite hard to control your character.

However, the game has a very HUGE loophole. My character used the toilet a moment ago, and before you know it, she wants to go to do her no.2 business again! WTF! It is as if she have a bladder problem or something. And it applies to the other needs too. This is so bloody stupid.

Secondly, the game producers spoonfed the players with too much facts on how to complete the quests. Spoonfeeding excessively is NOT good. It just don't make the character twist his mind a little to solve the mystery. Hence, solving a mystery should be a breeze to most people, as long as they follow the guidelines provided.

Oh yeah, EA people, it isn't wise to include a hidden want in the quests! How do we know what to do if no clues are given in the first place? Yeah, spoonfeeding excessively is bad, but not spoonfeeding at all is even worse! It totally don't make any sense, okay? All in all, i think it will be much better to make the revealed wants a little more challenging than to include a hidden want. I always left that out, except for that 1-2 quest in which i accidently solved.

Thirdly, the game do not allow the characters to customise their houses, unlike those in the previous two versions. This... really sux okay? I know they allow the players to customise the wallpapers, carpets and floorings (to a certain extent), but decreasing the amount of furniture available kills the player's interest for the game. Likewise, they removed the chance for the character to move houses and that really sux. In the entire game, you are limitted to a claustrophobic space for living with no options for expanding its size.

Did I also mention, for a fact, that it is much easier to gain skills with the aid of books. Okay, people! Now let's visualise a man building bulk because he read a book! Dumb right? I mean, yeah lah, reading books on health supplements could help, but the character much exercise in order to gain strength mah? It just totally don't make sense. Besides, using money to purchase skills... really sux. there is no such thing as an instantaneous gaining of skill. Skills have to be nurtured with time.

I guess that is really about all that I can say... for now. :S In general, this game is really disspointing la. I was hoping for a really good game. The urbz was really much improved as compared to 'busting out.' I am very sure that fellow sims finatics will agree with me too. Fortunately, I didn't bought the DS with that game. I think I would have whine for a week if i did. Waste $79 bucks for a dumb game like this.

******

My sister bought her new handphone today. It is the really sexy RAZR V3, but it is not pink but black. To buy the pink variation, one must order first. As the staff wasn't sure when the next batch of pinks RAZRs will arrive and that the plan had to be extended by the 13th of December, my sister opted for the black one instead. Personally, I think the black one is nicer than the pink one. Black matched almost any outfits.

My mother was whining incessantly from the moment she came home. About why I am not working (WTF!), why i help with the housework, why i am rotting in front of the computer and why I haven't bathe yet (okay lah, i haven't but so what?)

a) Why am I not working?

Wah Lao! o.O This kind of mother also got! Forcing me to work after eleven months of hardwork in school! No, make it 23 instead! I didn't enjoy myself in the december holidays least year at all due to the dumb choir practices, which occupied more than half of the entire holidays. Not to mention the tablet PC classes i had to attend. The point is, it is not that i don't wish to go and work, but my boss haven't called me yet. I'm beginning to think that he is trying to cheat me of my time, but my horoscope did mention that something new will pop up this week so yeah, I'm waiting for a week before searching for work.

b) Why am I not helping with the housework?

I hate doing cleaning cannot meh? Anyway, the house is made untidy by my younger sister mah so why should I do the cleaning? I have this thing about clearing things that do not belong to be. I admit I'm selfish but I would also like to use, my hectic lifestyle in my upper secondary life, to excuse myself from doing these. This is the time for me to enjoy myself after the pre o levels phase. Besides, I only have one month to do so before I enter a JC for the first 3 months. I don't think I want to make myself miserable before i enter a JC.

I'll do housework... but not now. Maybe three days later. I still need to recuperate a little more.

c) Why am I rotting in front of the computer?

This is very simple. That's cos there is really nothing to do! Blame Kid's central lah. There is no nice TV programmes to watch. The nicest thing is like 'Looney Toons' ? I know it is slightly albeit, but there is a lot of content there. I didn't quite like the remake of batman. It is just not as classy as the previous one.

I also don't have any nice VCDs or DVDs to watch la. At least I can entertain myself by viewing dumb friendster profiles, watching PVs (promotional videos, not porn videos -_-"), games (diablo II and Sims 2 gba), and least of all, read and write blogs :)

d) Why haven't I bathe?

Wah lao! I didn't even stepped out of the house today and you expect me to bathe? I really don't think taking a bath is necessary as long as you don't feel sweaty. At least not for around two days. Think washing your face is quite okay already. I mean it saves the hassle of washing many clothes at one go isn't it? Besides, I'm quite used to the materials of the yellow choir tee and LTC shirt. They're sweat absorbant and stuffs. Make pretty ideal night garments :D

I can't believe i have so much to blog either, but oh well, my sister wanna use. My mohter is complaining (again :S). Will blog more tomorrow.

Why do i hate choir?

2005-12-01T20:40:00.000+08:00

It don't give me joy to defame others. I mean really it don't. I don't enjoy having my blog rated as a critically acclaimed one either. All I really did aspired was to be a normal blogger, just like anyone else.

Anyway this post is dedicated to the anonymous person in my tagboard. I have a very vague idea of who the one who tagged might be, but yet, i don't wish to make an hoo haa out of this matter because it might just be a sweeping statement.

I would like to blog a little on how my hatred for my cca, or rather dmnchoir comes about in the first place. No doubt, i used to be a very enthusiastic about choir. You can even asked carrie about that. Like any of the dmnchoir evangelist, i used to go "dmnchoir rox" blah blah blah.

Unfortunately all those changed in the aftermath of the 2003 syf competition. My academic results started to decline. The math and sciences used to be my niche subjects but they declined to a C5 for both in the end year. I almost couldn't do a maths (which is my best subject NOW.) Can you bloody believe it?

Fortunately my Geography, DnT and Home Econs results were not bad. I managed to maintain a level position that is below 100.

But what i couldn't stand was when this guy (who was from both dmnchoir and my class) got into the class i wanted to enter EVEN WHEN his results is mideocre was compared to mine. Because i always believed that my intelligence is higher as compared to his. Sure, dmnchoir is doing good for a hell lot of people such as him, but it just don't seem to affect me. I just don't understand why.

It was from then on, that i started being anti-dmnchoir. I know all the dmnchoir evangelists must be going,"Onn Kit's life is so pathetic. His life is only about scoring A1 and 2s." So what, cannot meh? So what if my life is about scoring A's anyway. I don't see any future for me in the choir anyway... I don't wish to become a singer when i come to age. People who has a talent for music don't make it big in real life hor unless they're really talented. Even so, most of them ended up being has-been too. Musical talents? BAH! Who cares if you're talented if your talent can't make you any money at all.

This is just like the natural selection process in biology. Only the fittest survive while the weaker ones are eliminated.

I guess that's really when my loyalty for the choir really took a change lah. I was less and less tolerant of those dumb choir practices. And i'm glad it went this way too because my results did improved after that. It's a sacrifice that was pretty much worth it lah. CCA points did not really matter to me anymore. I'd rather bank on my academic capabilities.

Fortunately I'm busted out of that CCA already. I hope to never deal with musical talents after i leave the CCA. The way I've been taught in choir for these three years has taught me to NEVER choose that as a CCA when i leave the school and enter a JC.

At the current moment, i really wish to have nothing to do with this wretched CCA anymore. People have their rights to their views and i believe that my views ought to be respected too, whether you like it or not. You give in to me, I give in to you too. It is only a natural thing to do, isn't it?

Once again, I would like to say sorry to the dmnchoir evangelists whom i've offended and i hope you will leave my blog alone. Evil comments will still be moderated, especially for those of an anonymous status. Just like the person who has posted his/her comments today. Because, just like mr toh, i believe that it is sheer cowardice that you post comment (and especially evil ones) without revealing who you are. I hope you respect my view too.

******

I've.... too much time in my disposal. There is really nothing much to do lah. I spent almost the entire day playing Diablo II and yes, I've reached the last quest where i've to fight Diablo. Geez, all the nonsense about the second sequel being harder than the first. When it really isn't. But i guess it is partially because i'm playing as an Amazon lah. An Bowazon to be precise.

I'm going back to dunman tomorrow to return miss siti her a maths assessment book. Will blog more when the urge arises again. Bye.

I have to blog about this..

2005-11-29T17:08:00.000+08:00

After pestering my mother for about ten years or so, I finally got the two really huge moles on both side of the forehead surgercally removed. But it was really expensive lah. It was initially S$100 per mole, but i asked for a discount and got a 10% off. So yeah, the total cost of the surgery amounted to 180 bucks. Fortunately the entire cost was sponsored by my mother alone.

The entire procedure was really short and simple. The doctor first injects the anaesthetic into the skin surrounding the mole, which was to be removed. An anaesthetic is a chemical substance that makes one unaable to feel pain. I doubt it is an analegics since i did feel slightly drousy after the injection. Analegics do not affect one's consciousness.

Anyway, I had to wait for around 20 minutes or so to allow the chemical to come into effect lah. The doctor then proceeded to cut away the mole and stitch the wound. And it wasn't pain =D. Thanks to the anaesthetic of course. It took around 15 minutes or so.

The conversation with the doctor during the surgery was rather interesting. I told him that I was aspiring to get 7As and an L1R5 of 7 for the o levels. He asked me what about the last subject, chinese. And guess what I replied? As quoted from my profile...

I'm satisfied with a B4 for that. It was clearly a miracle that I scored a B4 for that anyway...

The nurse and doctor were laughing lah. It's rather strange though. I didn't find it really that funny. Didn't thought I have a good sense of humour anyway.

I wanted to take a picture to show what the removed mole look like but i figured that it was too gross for show lah. It was with quite an amount of flesh by the way. And yes, blood was still flowing profusely from it! HAHA. The skin is greatly supplied with blood capllaries after all mah.

I spent the rest of the afternoon playing Diablo II. It took me a total of 6 hours to complete 3 quests. I'm already in the second realm already by the way. And it is really addictive. At least I didn't felt bored during that six hours of play lah. Beats doing homework or housework anytime.

But I do hope that my boss call me ASAP. I'm dying to go out and work. Bo pian, I need money. LOT'S OF IT. Apparantly, the psp is not the only thing i wanna buy during the christmas sales. Money still has to be used for buying the memory pro duo card, bags and some other clothes. I can't possibly wear the same thing over and over again mah. Make me look like next liang xi mei. Haha.

Woah. It is really late now and i gtg lah. My mum will nag in the morning if i carry on. Shall blog more tomorrow. Bye.

Went out Today...

2005-11-28T13:12:00.000+08:00

I went out to Tampines Mall with my mother and sister today. My sister wanted to renew her plan and was stuck in a decision on which handphone to get- the Motorola Razr V3 or Samsung E530c. I, obviously, had advised her to purchase that black Razr or the really cool Sony Ericsson K600i. The K600i was obviously a much better choice than the other two since it is a 3G phone. Although a bit budget, but it still look quite stylish.

Being the really stubborn one in the house, she of course rejected my point of view. She found the K600i really squarish. Squarish phone = Un-femanine. It is a stereotypic kind of view. The E530c don't look very feminine to me either.

Anyway, she decided to get the RAZR V3 lah. She found the thickness of the V3 really appealing. She just didn't know which colour to get so she didn't get her phone today. Haha, I was lying lah. My mother didn't brought the charger of the phone for trading in. My sister wanted a $60 discount, so yeah, she didn't bought the phone today lah.

Oh well, I guess it is okay lah. the trip may be wasted, but it gives her more time to wait for the hot pink variation of the model. And it is a *LIMITTED EDITION*. I doubt it'll be cheap though. How cheap can the handphone that Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie own be?

I finally purchased the Diablo II software that I always wanted today. And it is $15 cheaper than the Sims 2. FYI: I will get Sims 2, but not now. It'll come after the PSP and after I completed Diablo II.

Starbucks is seriously such a cheat lah. Selling iced coffee with ice cream on top for $6.40. I admit it is very nice lah, but the thing is so exhorbitantly priced. It is just not worth the price. My goodness, they must be making big money out of selling those beverages. That was my first Frappuchino by the way. Yeah, laugh, gloat and whatever! I find it more worthwhile to spend the money on other stuffs such as the clothes and electronic gadgets like the psp.

I spent the rest of the afternoon playing Diablo II, and it much better than games like Maple. At least the graphics are better and the content is there. I played as an Amazon because my ideal class of warriors are those with the dexitility to use bows and arrows. I defeated Diablo in the first sequeal with an Amazon (or whatever u call that in the past lah.)

So yeah, I doubt this holiday will be as dead as what i've expected. Haha.

The kind of people who gets on my nerves

2005-11-27T13:02:00.000+08:00

I can control my temper well, but it doesn't mean i don't have people whom i don't detest. And it not just people like Sebastian whom I can't stand. Okay lah, Sebastian i don't hate you. I just find u a bit irritating at times. Apparantly, I also have other kinds of peeves lah; of people whom I really detest. I just don't display it outwardly. But deep down, I'm seething in disgust.

So yeah (out of boredom) I decided to do one short entry on the kind of people who really get on my nerves. No names shall be raised in this entry to prevent it from getting too controversial. Here goes:

The Wanna-Know-it-All

Also know as the k-p-o's, these people cannot resist the urge to not know things that do not concern them. They poke their noses into other people's life even if it is none of their business. Unfortunately, I also have a k-p-o in the house lah; My father. As all would have known, I received the merit bursery letter a couple of days ago. As usual, my father, being the wkia, decided to be nosey and poke his nose into my matters. I was really crossed because i really have no idea why he is doing so. It is as if everything concern him and such.

Anyway, I decided to be a bitch and had scolded him "K-P-O" in 3 different languages: K-P-O, Busy Body, Ji Po, Hao Guan Sien Shi. Okay maybe not. Make it 2 and a half. the first one is Singlish. My father was speechless and walked away sullenly. I hope my warning was dire enough, which obviously isn't working very well. It is hard for a leapord to change his spots.

I know at this point of time, you all must be saying things like "OMG! Onn Kit has so much bimbo!" or even things like "What a Kitsy/Kitty!" etc, BUT I HAVE ME REASONS TO BE OKAY? If they are matters regarding school results and such, I can understand because the education system concerns me. So yeah, please be wise and don't poke ur nose into other people's businesses if it don't concern you. Thank you.

The Bimbos, Minahs and Himbos

Well Carrie did mention to me before: A world without bimbos and himbos isn't round. And yes, I agree. But it doesn't mean we(normal people) don't hate them either. Haha.

Anyway, these people are characterised by their emo specs, purposely shortened skirts or really long uniforms. Thay spend money incessantly on neoprints and will basically wear or do anything in order to go with the trend even though it don't really suit them at all. It is okay if you look good in them. However if you look as ugly as a sin in them, that is a totally different kind of story.

They whine over very trivial matters and act as if the world owes them a living. Here's one thing: the world is unfair. You want a good life, you have to work for it. Sacrifices just have to be made to achieve goals.

Did I also mention the fact, that more often than not, these people dye their hair even though they've not completed their o levels. FYI: I'm against the dyeing of hair untill one completes his course of secondary education. This is a right entittled to secondary school leavers. People who are underaged but dye their hair look like spoilt brats.

Those who are immature but insist on having a relationship

If you had guessed that I'm against pre-marital sex, you're damn right! I can't stand people who are too immature but insist on having b-g-r's when they're possibly too young to do so. Too tell the truth, the only young couple i know who are mature enough to do so is carrie and her boyfriend, weisheng. It is really nice to see them motivating one another in whatever they do lah. That is the kind of relationship I think I can really call mature.

Okay, I'm getting a bit out of topic here. Anyway, these people are really easy to indentify lah. Go check friendster and u can get a hell lot of such people. Both parties post testimonials using english that is obviously wrong (eg. euu, lurbe, ilu, 1314 etc) in one another's account. Oh yeah, they might even have the so called lao-gong lao-po account too. They write really dumb things under their discription such as all 'laa0 g0ngg's fAv0uRiTe sHoWs LoRrsss' under their favourite shows. It is as if they don't have a mind of their own.

But yeah lah, more often than not, they're kind of love is not 'love' but infatuation. A relationship that is really blind cannot be counted as a love.

Those who defame others without a reason

I don't wish to call these people backstabbers because it is in a twit's vocabulary. Anyway, these people are usually the sort who are loyal to one or two friend, and really have no mind of their own. If their friends hate a particular person, they follow their friend and raise a big hoo haa over the accused. Yeah, this is quite brainless lah.

Anyway, they are the sort who don't know their enemies' characters very well either. They just brainlessly do as their friend's bidding even if it is against their nature to do so.

+++++

Tomorrow's going to be a good day. For one thing, I'm gonna get Diablo II from popular. I know it is an obsolete game as compared to Sims II but that'll do lah. Money is very important to me. buying Diablo II instead of Sims 2 can save me $10. And besides, it is quite a good game lah. I played a bit in my cousin's home before and it was quite fun.

More blogging tomorrow. Bye.

I've already submitted my PAE.

2005-11-26T15:08:00.000+08:00

I finished submitting my PAE at 9.00 am. The sequence of my 12 choices ,in ascending order, are as stated below:

1) MJC science

2) TPJC science

3) CJC science

4) MJC arts

5) SRJC science

6) TPJC arts

7) YJC science

8) CJC arts

9) SRJC arts

10) YJC arts

11) TJC science (KUAH KUAH KUAH!)

12) TJC arts

Anyway the last two options are purely bullshit lah. I had intended to opt for Innova or Pioneer JC, but changed my mind later, since it'll take me 45 minutes in order to reach the damn district.

All in all, I hope to land in MJC sciences for the first three months. But TPJC science is not a bad choice either. Well okay, at least for the first three months only lah. I'm not at all concern about the loyalty points because i believe that i can score an L1R5 of 9 even without CCA deduction for the real thing. To tell the truth, I never really did find any of the papers particularly hard with the exception of Chinese. But oh well, I'm not using that for my L1R5 anyway. I'm only concerned with the learning of what is to be taught during that phase.

how very suay

2005-11-26T10:05:00.000+08:00

I can't believe how very unlucky I am today. As all might have known, I am working as an event co-ordinator and my working hours are irregular, blah blah blah and such. I only get the job whenever my boss calls me. Well, guess what? My boss called today.... But i didn't get the job. Just because I was in the toilet at that point of time and couldn't answer it! $60 gone! My goodness!

Unfortunately, the phone number is a private and yes, it didn't display on the phone. I guess next time if I were to go to the toilet, I will bring my handphone along! Money is very important to me currently, since i wanna get the psp and do more shopping. I have to make the december holidays a fulfilling one before i enter a jc during January.

I managed to clear 3/4 of my room today. The amount of scrapped paper i have exceeded my expectations by more than 2 times. To think I haven't even cleared the drawers. My mother insist on selling the stacks of papers to the Karang Guni. Isn't this stupid? Spending more than three hours to sort the stuffs for the sake of $2.

Anyway, I got really frustrated half-way and didn't sort the stuff. I don't even get any reward out of doing this. I admit I'm materialistic, okay? If she want the stuffs, she'll have to do that herself because all these are none of my business. Not anymore.

I seriously need something to kill the boredom at home. For the past few hours, I have been refreshing the class forum, hoping that someone will post something stimulating. Something that can stimulate me to write a witty comment. But I can't help it. Kid's central don't feature any good cartoons with the exception of those looney tunes cartoon. Besides, there is not even a decent game to be played on the computer.

why am i switching to blogger?

I know I was once very anti-blogger and stuffs, because of my inability to develop a unique blogskin. As a matter of fact, I never really did use blogger before. I merely tested it, but found it a pain in the butt after an hour of usage.

But opinions do change okay? For one thing, I had seriously lost touch with html after a pro-longed usage of campusmoblog. Dont' get me wrong. Campusmoblog is pretty cool, just that the template is always fixed and it is hard to vary the layout. The only thing we could do to make them more unique is to change the colour template and that sux.

So after the prelimary examinations, I tried to re-create another layout on frontpage (which already isn't all that easy to use by the way.) Unfortunately, I've really lost touch with HTML. SERIOUSLY. So yeah, i guess i am now a pernament resident of blogger. I know I can't edit the skins here, but all that i really need is a place to shout, so a pretty blogskin will do me just fine.

At the current moment, I'll still be writing in campusmoblog, but not too often. Evil comments here are most welcomed, but they'll be moderated by your's truly. Mind you, I can get vulgar if I want to and this is not just some dumb ass kitsy joke (courtesy of KIAT YONG!). Oh well, sayonara people. More blogging later.

When time is just not right.

I went to Sitex 2006 today, with my mother. Sad to say, there isn't anything that is really worth buying lah. At least not for those who had no intentions to get a PC or a notebook. Anyway, the Sony booth was quite cool lah. It is just too bad that it has a brand name to maintain and didn't really throw in a lot of freebies.

I don't think I will get my PSP from the fair because it isn't worth it. The so called psp 'premiums' were really cheapskate and the price isn't very much reduced at all. The total savings u can expect is like 20 dollars or so. So yeah, I guess I'll wait untill the very end of the ongoing Sony promotion which extends untill somewhere in January next year and buy the psp then.

I also went to the Creative Resource today and it is so bloody inconvenient since I live in Pasir Ris. The MRT ride was around 50 muinutes or so, and you will have to take a bus there too! If that is not mah fan enough, U have to make a detour around the International Business Park in order to reach the damn place.

Anyway, Justice is partially served. They'll be replacing my mp3 player with another black one. But it'll take around 3-4 weeks since they have stopped the production of the 4gb mp3 player. So yeah, I guess I should not whine too much lah. It is just too bad I wasted $49 bucks on the stupid earpiece. Add $6 and I could have purchased 'Sims 2' instead leh!

Speaking of computer games, I need some games to play. Seriously. I'm dying of boredom at home currently. The only games i could play are those obsolete gba roms and as if they're very fun to play like that. So yeah, I need more games.

On the other hand, I need to clear my room ASAP! I got tons of papers to sell the Karang Guni. The only worksheets and notes my sister could really refer to is the Biology stuff which I have packed nicely in a file. What can I say? I love biology. And besides, Miss Lim's notes are really damn helpful and I believe it will benefit my sister too. See? I'm such a good brother =X

Oh yeah, the merit bursery letter came into the mailbox today. I finally received a monetary reward after 4 long years! I've stopped getting one of those after primary 6. What can I say? Park View Primary School's educational standard sux big time lah, and it is ludicrously easy to get a merit bursery even without studying. Wait? Who even remembered studying for their PSLE anyway?

And oh yeah, did I mention that I am no longer loyal to PVPS anymore? In fact, I find it really degrading to know I'm from that dumb school. The kind of Loyalty I've fostered in PVPS pales in comparism to the one i fostered in Dunman. BIG TIME! I'm just a wee-bit grateful that it has helped me to get into Dunman.
