This is gonna be a long post.

Day 4 (Saturday, 26/12)
Went to the Eurasian Community House in the morning.
Been there once before... Sec 2 I think...
After which we proceed to lunch and tok along the way...
Sherry was attempting to learn some Canto phrases.
Felt quite left out of the conversations...
Perhaps it was due to home stay on the previous day...
Try to fit in somehow...

Proceed to Esplanade after lunch.
Never know that the backstage of the theatre is so freaking HUGE!
Also, there are lots of sophisticated equipments to make sound quality better.

Heritage tour was boring...
Our HK guests were even better at shopping than us.
Vivian was able to buy a few T-shirt from Chinatown in 15 min O.o
Someone was lost after Chinatown stop but luckily, everything turn out fine in the end.

Arriving at Night Safari, we had murtabak (Worst I had ever eaten)
There were hell lots of ppl there at Night Safari.
Shouldn't everyone be resting after Christmas Day?
Prices there was a rip off:
Chicken Rice - $17
Ice Mountain mineral water - $2.50
On our way home, I got myself a scandal.
Thank a lot Amos, I will remember this.
Dr was leaving the next day and we bid farewall to her.

Day 5 (Sunday, 27/12)
St Mary of the Angels church was not like church I had seen before.
It seems veri modern like.
No wonder there are more and more Christians nowadays.
To keep up with time, thats the key.
After which, there was a sharing session by EiF Facilitators.
Many of our HK guests K.O at this stage.
I nearly fell into dreamland like them, but managed to hang in there.
It will be a more challenging day tmr, with more toks.

At Marina Barrage, we flew kites.
Wind was awesome there, as it was about to rain.
After the tour, I gave out my durian cakes (Credit to dad and mom =D)
We thought that since our HK guests like to take photo veri much,
We should shout "Photo!" instead to lead them to move from point A to point B.

Day 6 (Monday, 28/12)
SMU was not as small as I thought.
Our tour guide in SMU was actually my sister primary school friend, Chay Ling.
A small world after all...
It looks like our guests were fascinated by SMU facilities.
They should tour NTU instead haha.
SMU was not in my choice of University and it will nv be.

As expected, our HK guests was defeated during NYC tok.
Unglam photos of those who slept were taken and posted in facebook haha.
Of all include Winnie, who was suppose to present a token of appreciation to the NYC ppl.
And she was still in denial, claiming that she was thinking veri deeply lol.

Depart for Malay Youth Literary Association (4PM)
I slept on the bus, as I was too, tired in NYC tok.
Unglam photos were taken once more on the bus, but somehow I escaped =D

After 4PM sharing session, I sat on the bus with this new friend I made: Fanny
In the short span of less than a week, there are still ppl who I did not hang out with.
Also, she helped me to take a photo.
"Is it nice?"
"Of course! The photo will not be too bad because of my handsome face."
"I also took a photo with my host family. Can you spot me?"
"This one?"
"Yes la. You can find me so fast because I am veri pretty ar."
Haha.
"Why you dun have English name ar?"
"I dunno, Maybe I am not a Christian? You should ask my parents."
"Many of our English names are made by ourselves. You dun need to be a Christian to have English name ar"
Can't imagine someone calling me by my English name haha.
After which we played polar bear at the back of the bus.

YOG learning centre was like another NE session all over haha.
Phototaking as usual.

Back to the hotel, we kill sometime before dinner by playing cards.
Riduan the fireman, Sherry and Tommy were all dressed up so formally.
Especially Tommy, who wore a suit with a blazer and tie.
He took a scandal picture with four gals around him.
We all speculate that his Vietnam girlfriend will kill him if she saw that photo.

Before entering the Grand Hall, I shook hand with a guy name Stanley.
After which I asked Jin Feng about his identity.
"Who is he?"
"What is his name? Did not really catch it."
"Stanley."
"OMG he is one of the big shot"
"Really ar?"
"Ya, he is the general manager of South East CDC!"

Dinner was ok... And we played the number game.
"If 1 is 4, 2 is 5... What is 15?"
Really got the guests at my table puzzled haha...
"We will tell you the answer when we visit HK."

Our guests put up a video and a performance for us that night.
After which, we spammed countless number of photos.
Where are all my photos ppl?
Most were taken with our HK guests cameras.
Tag in fb pls.
Not to say exchanging emails.
We were having too much fun that we refuse to leave the room.
Wonderful night we had. But all good things come to an end.

Day 7 (Tuesday, 29/12)
I joined everyone at the airport, in MJ uniform and my guitar.
Last moment we spent together...
Before sending them off to the departure gate.
Prisca cried before going in, till her nose and eyes turned red ='(
Yea, we were sad too.
Luckily the situation was under control before the whole bunch of us broke into tears.
Don't worry, we will see you guys in HK soon!

Went out for dinner at Just Acia Marina branch with a few of my sec sch mates.
Tok a lot and spammed a lot of ice cream.
One of Kent's school mate was there.
And we were trying to expose him haha.
We played 敲敲杯after everyone was so full up with ice cream and drinks.
Took a walk to esplanade and guess who I saw.
Sherry! He was bringing another HK girl around the city area.
After which we went to Uni Quo and I got myself a cheap jacket at $9.90

Today (Wednesday, 30/12)
Went NTU with my sis.
Ate cheap food and tour around the school.
Got foolscap pads with NTU logo!
I had forgotten when did I came up with this idea of collecting foolscap pads =D

Below are all my personal opinion not directed to anything:
NTU is so much better than NUS campus.
The whole place look a whole lot newer.
Especially the chemical and biological science building.
The whole NUS campus is like so rundown and haunted.
NTU is comparable to SMU campus, but jus a little older.
Big library, enough books to fill my house.
I am so going NTU.
Unless, honourable scholarship to oversea university.

Spend hell lots of time typing this post.
Time which I can use to finish up my math package.
Hence I should come back to reality - miserable life of a JC system.
11 more days to school reopen!
1 more year in this prison before going into another!
And I am looking foward to university life 4 years from now!

After returning from Vietnam,
I am currently engaged in my "class CIP"
Which is essentially to host Hong Kong ppl for exchange program.
Vietnam was not tat spectacular.
Communist, weird ppl (I mean those in the tour group, not locals there) and shopping.
That will veri much sum up the trip.

There are two reasons why I place inverted commas for "class CIP"
1) No even half the class turn up on any single day so far.
2) A one of a kind experience that is nothing like any of the CIP I had done so far.
I will elaborate on point 2 further.

Day 1 (Wednesday, 23/12)
Arrived in the airport at approximately 12.25pm
Waited till abt 2pm (A long wait...) for them to collect their luggage from belt 19.
Depart for hotel. Check-in.
Then we wait for them to gather at some "Grand Hall" in the hotel.

While the hall was filling up,
Firdaus tried to start a conversation with one of the few early birds.
"Are you one of the exchange student?"
I looked down onto her name tag, which wrote "Dr Carol Ma..."
" Err, she's a doctor..."
Yea, we had a good laugh.
I think tat tat really made her day, making her feel much younger.

Next we have some introduction.
Onli then did I realised almost all of them are taking art subjects in the university.
Not long before we leave for Pasir Ris.
On the bus trip, I tried to tok to those behind my seat.
It did not went veri well until...
"Can you speak chinese?"
"会啊"
"原来你会说普通话，不早讲！"
Right, newer generation of HK ppl speak chinese.
Dad's advice was not right everytime.
Apparently, they have better chinese than some Singaporeans.
I should thank her (Sorry, not good wif names!) for enlightening me.

Prawn fishing, which I caught nothing.
Dinner and some "entertainment", ruined by the soft volume of the mics.
And Dr got my socks for gift exchange, my new Esprit socks.
Guess all of them are tired on the first day.

Day 2 (Thursday, 24/12)
Reached Payar Lebar SouthEast CDC at 9.45am
Did not know that we need not meet so early.
Mayor tok... Blah Blah...
Quote from Jin Feng: At least I can use it for GP.

Talk to Vivian over lunch...
She 's quite a nice lady who is slight better at communicating in English.
Learn quite a bit on the educational system there.

After lunch, we went for an "amazing race"
$50 for transport wow =D
And I showed them what we can do with Mr Yusof Ishak on the $50 bill.
Group 1,2 and 4 decided to join up and screw the original race plan.
Instead, we brought them for Roti Prata, Mutton soup, Malay Kue and Teh Tarik.
Cabs to Chinatown where they tasted the square egg tarts.
Gosh I did not even know that such thing exists in Chinatown.

MRT to Orchard.
Running late and we did not do our amazing race ws =P
Char Kway Teow for dinner.
Obviously our groups did not eat much...
Our CDC youths tried to say the cantonese phase of "你吃饱吗？" in threatening manner.
Wanton leftover was the bomb.
It can at least feed someone for 3 meals.

View Christmas lighting after dinner.
Walked along Orchard road all the way back to hotel.
Which makes me wonder how long since I last hang out there...

Today was suppose to be home stay program for them.
Sadly my parents were in Malaysia for de weekend and hence I hosted nobody.
As I was saying, this CIP was nothing like wat I had done before.
And definitely, the best CIP ever =D
Can't wait for tmr: Day 4

NUS - Bristol Chemistry workshop day 2
Today is slightly better than yesterday.

First experiment was making an azo dye called Orange II.
Yea, jus mixing up chemicals because I was told to do so.
There is a part when the solution look like orange ice tea in a conical flask.
Little did I know that the dye stained my right thumb orange.
And it is still a little orangy right now.

Second experiment was making the 'oil of winter green'
Basically it is esterification of salicyclic acid wif methanol.
Finally something I am familiar with.
After heating under reflux for 40 min, our solution looks different from the rest.
We got a clear solution while others get some cloudy mixture.
I thought that since ester is insoluble, this experiment will be yet another failure =(
But surprisingly, we obtained a molten substance after cooling it down.
And we managed to obtain the oil, which smells like root beer.
I swear that the smell is addictive.
This session seems to be the best practical session.
In conclusion, practical session should not be held in isolation without theory.

Lecture in the afternoon was even better.
We had got live demonstrations in the LT.
Fun wif N2(l), H2O2, CO2(s), combustion of H2 balloons and CH3OH
Why can't lectures in MJ be like this?
Right, lack of budget from MOE.

However, this is still not worth S$267.50
And this was reflected in my feedback form =D

Actually I am quite reluctant to blog due to my laziness.
But here it goes.

Guitar camp was fun but I will skip the nitty little details of it.
The onli thing worth highlighting is that there is an AWESOME staff lounge in MJC.
Massage chairs in it are great and Mr Chia is veri kind to us ^^

NUS - Bristol Chemistry workshop day 1
Half the time while I am doing practical, I have no idea what a hell an I doing.
The theory behind the lab session was not strong enough.
We threw away what we made during the practical sessions =.=
And I will say that I benefited little from this, at least for today.
Definitely, S$ 267.50 is not worth at all.

In order to feel better, Cheng Boon and I decided to spam things there.
For example, we use filter paper jus to dry our apparatus ^^
And I threw one magnetic follower into the "non-chlorinated waste" box.
I shall think of more ideas to spam tmr...

However, there are still takeaways from today session.
- Magnetic follower is dam fun =D
- TLC is more of an improved version of paper chromatography.
- University food is CHEAP! (Actually I found this out long ago)
- Chanel #5 perfume contain some chemical that smells horrible.

I will grow up to be like the prof. from Bristol.
So that I can rip others off during Summer and Winter vacations.
But to reach that Ph.d seems far......

I will be back with mroe updates tmr.

P.S Mr Chong hasn't eat the chocolate we gave him hmm...

After much thoughts today...
I have came to a conclusion:
To choose Chemistry instead of Chemical Engineering in University.
Preferably, NTU.

With this in mind, I drafted out two possible plan:

A) Best scenario ever
- Gp tuition works well
- AAA/A
Get myself a scholarship to some pro college oversea (MIT =D)

B) Not so good a plan
- Gp screwed up
- Grades filled wif Bs or not able to get a scholarship
School of Chemistry and Biological Science, NTU.

This is jus a draft, I will improve on it.
PS: I shouldn't even make plan B; always landed up in the backup plan B =(

2012 - The Apocalypse
End of the world? Or jus a myth?
There is many debates over this issue, which side are you on?

For me, I believe that this whole "end of the world" is jus crap.
Even NASA believe that there is nothing special regarding the date 12 December 2012.

I have jus watched a documentary on 2012 this morning on History.
Prophet Nostradamus was a great man I must say.
A man with wits and wisdom.
But does that mean that his prediction will be true?
For start, many prophets predicted dates for the return of christ.
But none of them got it right.
Human make mistakes.
We should base the truth on facts and calculations instead.
And not believing something jus because many others think the same way.
God gave mankind brain for a reason.
I am not here to convince everyone that 2012 is not true.
But, more important, to convince everyone to think for yourself.

Of course we cannot rule out the possibility of disasters created by man.
Some country may decide to nuke the whole world, maybe?
But at least it will not be a chain of natural disasters so significant to wipe out Earth.
Again, these factors have no direct relation with the specific date in 2012.
I mean, it can occur anytime right?

I seriously hate the movie 2012.
It is exaggerating the issue when there are no real concrete evidences at all.
And this convinces more people to buy the story.
Perhaps all Hollywood films are like this.
But I felt strongly for this one.
And I will NEVER watch it.

However, this issue is not entirely bad.
A little scare is good once in a while.
Does the world really give a damn about environmental issues?
What about peace? Iraq war, anybody?
And all of a sudden people are rushing to mend these dire situations.
Why? Influence from the possibility of a major apocalypse of course.
To some extent, the scare does influence society as a whole, in a good way.

But, I will like to ask:
Will people continue their effort after 12 December 2012?
Will we learn our lesson?
Onli time will tell.

Today marks the official end of PW.
I will like to take this opportunity to thank my group mates.
For it won't be such a smooth route if not for everyone's contribution.
And also, I will like to thank Ms Sarina.
For marking through countless drafts of all relevant documents.
For your advices from time to time.
I really appreciate that.
1 subject down, 5 more to go!

Next up on the calendar is Singapore Chemistry Olympiad 2009
Few more days to go...
Hope I do well and make the school proud.
And I might skip school on Tuesday haha.

2 more weeks of school till December break.
Notice that I use the word "break" instead of "holiday".
This December break will be filled with lots of activities.
For starters:
-Guitar camp on 8-9 december
-Briston-NUS chemistry camp on 10-11 december
-Class CIP
-Class chalet in the last week of break
P.S:Not inclusive of CCA practices
Good thing that I have a week holiday in Vietnam.
That leaves me wif veri little time to revisit and master my J1 topics.
O well...

"Singtel is currently the only distributor of iphone. Hence we must collaberate with them."
Yea, this is what I told the assessor.
Little did I noe that hub will be selling iPhone until the moment I on the com =.=

Powerpoint slides ready.
Sound cable in.
Projector working.
Everyone siting comfortably.
Light's on, its showtime!

Slides are more or less done.
Scripts out.
Dry run tmr.
Everything seems to go pretty fast.
I can't seems to memorise my script =.=
Or maybe I have not put in the effort to do so =(

Chem olympiad is fun today.
All I can say is that ALCOHOL ROCKS!
It seems like any compound under the organic family tree can be synthesize from alcohol.
Pyridinium chlorochromate haha

Got a call from Mr Nair today.
I have completely forgotten about the NUS enrichment.
Yea, my edusave was drained and I need to pay cash =(
Someone hacked my edusave account and drained its content like a black hole.
Mr Nair seems veri pissed about my payment.
I have a feeling that NUS is conning my money...
Jus some chemicals and it cost $200+
Daylight robbery.
It better worth the money.
If not I will leave a veri bad impression of NUS school of science.

Another week had passed.
That will leave me with 2 more weeks till OP.
2 more weeks to endure.

I really hate doing pw.
Who will like it anyway?
Rumours say it will be abolish next year.
Maybe this is some scheming tactic to trick those who are retaining this year.
We will nv know till next year...

Now I really feel sick going to school tmr.
School hours are shorter, with no lessons but I still feel sick.
Sick of pw.
I will nv regret to choose studies if i am given a choice between that and pw.
This will be the longest two weeks of my lilfe.

Happy B'day Jansen ~
May you be wiser, fitter and more importantly, wealthier.

I am back with something to share =D
A little comic strip I had created (for pw) - Love Story
Enjoy! (and remember to abstain!)

This post shall be dedicated to my promo result.
In increasing order:

Gp: 45, E
I am actually quite happy that I have passed it.
I still remembered that I was convinced that I would definitely fail this time for GP.
Going for School of Thoughts tuition next year.
Hope it helps.

History: 58, C
Despite spending so much more time on history this round time,
Score was similar to that of mid year.
Wasted, should have spent more time on chem, which I will elaborate.

Chemistry: 58.5, C
This was sacrifice for history, which did not really pay off.
I expected this grade after I did the paper.
Nevertheless, there is still some disappointment, both myself and Mr Goh.
Sometimes we make the wrong decision, don't we?

Physic: 62, B
I will say this was within my expectation.
Did not put in as much effort for physic this time round.
Did not even do the revision package given to me (which I thought I had lost it).
I could have gotten a higher B hmm...

Mathematics: 88, A
I thought that math grade will be of the following inequality:
70 < x < 80, where x is the marks I gotten. Far lesser careless mistake than I expected. At least it is something I do right in promo. General comments: Very much this result is something I deserved. If onli I was not so lazy after mid years. And that I had not fall sick for a week due to suspected H1N1 . Things might turn out differently. Oh well...

Await my promotion to J2, where life will be even tougher.
Marks don't define me, I define my mark.

Good, I am making a conscious effort to blog =D

PW meeting for 2 days, how nice =.=
Thought I could go for some outing but PW has taken over piority.
Sigh, come to think of it, this is jus the beginning of the PW nightmare.

We had learnt a valuable and important lesson yesterday.
THERE IS NO PLUG IN MAC.
Somehow we ended up in staff canteen of T2.

Guess who I saw during lunch hour?
There is a whole group of NAS teachers are eating beside our table.
Ms Jamie Tan, Ms Pauline Choi, Mr Alvin Tan and a few others.
Good thing tat they don't recognise me.
Reminds me of days in NAS, where life was beautiful.
Get back to reality! U still have a pw to work on!

U noe wat? I will rather study for promo than to do pw.

Promo's over!

Can't believe that one year past so quickly.
Not quite sure how well I did for promo.

Gut feeling tells me tat mid year result will be better =(

Let's not talk abt it shall we?

I am feeling quite excited today.

Partially because sch ends at 11+ =D
And the other reason:

Pokedex version 3.8, designed by me ^^

It was quite fun creating this thermochromic phone.

Although it took me a whole afternoon.

Still look quite decent isn't it =D

See, PW can be fun! (I must be braindead after staying up so late)

Anyone interested to buy this phone? I can give special offer.

Gonna catch some sleep, Goodnight.

I jus feel tired, tired of everything.

Currently stuck at home, unable to go anywhere.
Seems like a house arrest =(
The reason?
Well, this is a result of what happen 2 days again......

On Thursday:
I am feeling rather lethargic in school, with a really bad sore throat.
Went home 'early' before my last period PE.
Found out that I had a mild fever of 37.8...
Then to the doctor...
After examination, the doctor gave me a 5-DAYS-MC till monday.
I was like O.o and ask for the reason.
He suspected that I caught the H1N1 virus but my condition was mild.
This really freaking scare the hell out of me.
Then I went home all worried and quarantined from my family members.

Today is a special day because I no longer have sore throat! ^^
I guess most probably the doctor overreacted or something...
Yea, life sux when u cannot go anywhere out of ur house.

Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise...
I can spend more time studying myself at home rather than wasting time in school.
Tons of work haiz...

Finally got back all my results: BBCCE
Although it was quite unsatisfactory that I did not obtain an A for any subject,
This was considered good for many who unfortunately hit the jackpot with Us.
I shall aim higher... for H3? Or maybe not.... Still deciding.
Watch your back Mr Park =D

8 more weeks to promos.
Didn't realise that we have so little time to prepare for it.
For those who made full use of 'June holiday', good for u.
And those who wasted your 'June holiday', better start doing something now.
If not, you will be given a free ticket to stay with the school for memorable another year.

This whole weekend, I onli did TJ math n Chem paper.
That leave me with undone tutorial for next week lol.
Ionic equilibrium, summation assignment.....
Well... later ba....

CCA resume next week =(
I wanted more free time to do my own stuffs T-T
Well, guess MOE finally realise that they are being paranoid.
Scrap the 2nd temp taking exercise too pls =D

Work hard everyone~

One week after MYE.
Lessons resumed...
Back to the same old boring times....

Results will be out next week.
Although I noe that I got a B for chemistry and passed my GP paper 1.
Hoping to see good results...

Science research programme offered in our school.
I got dam hell pissed off wif this system.
Is it true that all researchers must have excellent command of its English language?
Must their English be totally flawless?
Niel Bohr had bad english and he still got his freaking Ph.D.
Not onli that, he even got a Nobel Prize.
So why must there be a requirement of distinction for O level EL in order to take the programme?
Discrimination!

New Divide - Linkin Park.
Yea transformer 2 song!
But the lyric have no meaning, at least to me.
That is y I dun really listen to english songs... o well...

I will update soon...

Another few more hours before 'June Holiday' ends.
Also, it marks the start of MYE horror......

First off is math + history, which is tmr.
Then a day off to mug...
Physic on wed and end off on thurs with chem.

Feel that I am still not prepared for Mid years, despite hours of investment into studying.
Especially history, when we did not have a single test on.
I nv felt this way before =(
Wonder what kind of grades will I get...

This whole 'holiday' was quite meaningful to me....
Especially when I can catch up with my work.
Nv really played and enjoy myself that much like before.
University entrance ticket is nv cheap.

Sometimes hardwork didn't pay off.
Like the screw up grades I got for O lvl?
I wonder why I still push myself so hard all this while.
Yea, this is one of my weakness: I cared too much many a time.

Begin MYE with the end in mind:
We should celebrate or something on friday =D

Another week gone...
One last week before "June Holiday" ends.

I should be prepared for mid years after next week...
Still feel quite screwed for history.... To write 3 x 4 pages essays in 2h 15 min =(
I dun think it is possible...
O well.... dun think of it too much.

I had this dream last night that I failed my mid year.
Then I had to see the principal to be advanced.
Yea, I noe that we do not have to see the principal if we fail mid year.
Dreams often have no sense of logic, do they?
This shows that subconsciously I am under emotional stress.
Ya, JC jus screws our lives up.
No wonder my mother said that I kept grinding my teeth last night.
Nightmares~

Plan for today:
-Complete topic 3 and repeatedly read 2 and 3 to memorise for history.
-Sleep in the afternoon? Did not slept much last night.
-SF in the night.

Work hard ppl...

Last day of lecture.
And we are on our own now.

Integration for math.
I remember I once called it the "evil twin of differentiation"
More like angel and demon thing.
It seems easy to get from heaven to hell.
But takes tremendous effort to climb the stairway to heaven.
Hopefully I will conquer this demon soon....
I hate, like what Newton will call it, Fluxion.

So much for "Lets go early to school tmr and study."
In the end, the few of us played bridge.
Jansen should stop bringing cards and distract us.

I forgot to bring Chem equilibrium notes today.
Through chem was jus busy copying the solutions.
Thought Mr Wong will chiong finish the whole thing but I was wrong.
All hard questions should be labelled with double stars + "MJ rox"

Trip to KL is coming.
That will mean I will forsake few days to study....
Hopefully 2 weeks will be enough.

I should stop thinking of other silly stuffs and focus on getting into University.

Embrace JUNE!
Rejoice ppl, for the 'June holiday' are here!
No more going to sch =D

2 days to prepare for GP exam.
Feel so screwed.
This weekend shall be intensive GP revision!
30% of promo at stake...
Pray hard that everything goes well....
After this mid year, i am gonna pay more attention to my GP, I promise.

I seems to have little things to do for revision hmm...
Consider the amount of revision WS I have currently for all my subjects, I can finish them by 1 week if there is no school.
Maybe they will print more n flood us next week hmm..

Yea, my class will lose 4 teachers this June holiday.
Physic, GP, PE, and Geo teachers.
Sad eh? All the best to them ='(

Guitar camp is cancelled.
The school rule stated that all organised activities are to have their proposal sent in at least 2 weeks before the event commence.
So... guess there will onli be one at the end of the year.

The clock is ticking....

Wow, I am blogging on a weekday.
Can't help, today is too eventful =D

Soccer final!
We reached there dam early, 1h 15min b4 the match started.
Having nothing better to do, we play wif our air filled balloon sticks (I forgot wat it is called).
After what it seems like eternity, the match began.

1st half was exciting, with VJ scored within...... 10 min or so?
Correct me if I am wrong.
We caught up but the score levelled up at 2-2 by half time.

Something that that VJ right winger did in the 1st half really pissed us off.
Yea, that no. 5.
As he dribbled the ball past MJ audience crowd, he held his hand up, palm opened, with thumb pointing at his nose.
Yea, that stirred up anger among the crowd.
I heard that he also zham our keeper's face =(

In the 2nd half, if I was not wronged, no. 5 scored the third goal for VJ.
And...... he suddenly had a leg cramp after that goal.
That cramp seemed SO serious and we were VERY concerned about him!

The match ended with 3-2, and we lost.
There goes our champion title and our winning streak.
Kind of depressing but we know that they deserve it.
Ms Lai had a small talk wif no. 5.
Wonder what is it about ^^

Prize presentation.
MJ crowd jeered at the no. 5 when he received his personal trophy for top few scorers.
We should not jeer, even if he had bad sportsmanship =(
But we did clap for VJ when they got their team trophy for first place.

He better not get caught wearing that no. 5 soccer jersey.
Something might happen to him... I dunno...
Better to be safe than sorry, u noe.
DISCLAIMER: I am not anti VJ, jus disapprove of no. 5's attitude.

Enough of soccer.
Both math and chem lectures chionged so fast today.
Yea, lessons are delayed due to sports season.
And my chem test got a 14.5, C.
Kind of expect at least a B for this test.
So I had disappoint myself again this time...
Chemist had bad english - Mr Goh.
I will remember this...

Need to do my thermal physic tutorial now... bye.

"June Holidays" are coming!
Time really past so fast.
I foresee revision worksheets for June.
Not to forget, honourable GPP.

Onli 13% of all who took physic passed the test O.o
Surprisingly I passed this and failed the 1st one, which is so much easier.
I knew that I always sux at measurements.
But pass is NEVER ENOUGH!
Do better next time...

Chem test was easier than what I expected.
Lets see how much I will get.
I screwed the 1st math question, dam similar triangles.
If I made no careless mistake, I should get quite a decent mark.

Went cheering yesterday.
All the way to Jurong and no transport back.
Dam waste of time =(
Stood on MRT from Chinese garden all the way to Simei.
The school is so dam bloody cheapskate.
No wonder Ms Koh and Ms Tan are leaving.
Nah, teachers' pays are independent of the school.

I felt quite down upon hearing the news that both of them are leaving =(
Why must this kinda things happen to us?
This is jus so, so unfair.

Gonna do pw tonight...

Wat should I talk about today?

Physic test!
Surprisingly I passed =D
Although the grade I had gotten was not that fantastic, but I am still happy ^^
Learning point: not to say that I fail until I got back the marked paper.

Pull-up update: 3 pull ups O.o
Godwin taught me a new method of doing pull up on friday.
That is to lock my arms and depend solely on biceps to pull myself up.
Surprisingly it worked!
I am able to do 3 pull ups now with this new method =D
Guess my deltoids are the ones causing me not to be able to do pull ups.
I will train harder...
THX GODWIN!

3 tests on monday.
Jus so great, isn't it?
I MUST GET GOOD GRADES!
Or maybe jus improve slowly...
Now I am having 2nd thoughts about taking H3...
I think this 2 years are gonna be the darkest bits in my life.

I Love Gem <3

Ahh... Mid of term 2 already!

Jus had NAFA and I still can't do a single pull up hmm...
Guess there goes my record in NAFA, never had a nil in NAFA before.
Quite a setback though.
And this also means that I have to train more....
I dun wan to go into army for extra training =(

Physic test tmr =D
I think I screwed my last one up...
It was definitely not hard.
I will not screw this one up again.

Swine flu had resulted in everyone going home later by 15 min.
I bet no one is happy abt it.
So am I.

Feeling rather upset nowadays.
Spend most of my time painting negative pictures abt the future in my head.
Can't complete all my work.
Score badly for tests.
Can't do fast enough for assignments.
These things kept me worried and preoccupied my free time.
So I will rather not have free time.
It is NOT ok for me to do badly jus because the whole J1 did badly.
Like wat Esther Lai said: "Mindset of excellence, nothing less than that."
Wat was the retain rate in MJ last year, anyone noes?
Lets hope I dun breakdown one day.

1st math mentoring.
Zames was quite good at math, except a few careless mistakes here and there...
He was actually better than I thought.
So much for waking up early in de morning at 7+, thx to VJC open house.

Kind of struck the jackpot today.
We found a new location for usual saturday gathering.
The onli thing that lack is..... food.
On top of that I still have guitar lessons at 4 =(
We shall evaluate whether or not to use that place.

Lots of work this weekend, and most of it involve using the com.
Still had not started on my scrapbook...
So screwed.

Labour day holiday next week!
another long weekend that I long for.
But believe that it comes wif a costly price tag; there will be more work to be done.

Yea I passed my 2nd chemistry test!
Realised that Mr Goh short charge me 2 marks after going through the test.
And my name is not on the chem board near GO... not fair....

I used to have no doubt of entering a junior college.
Thought I prepared for it but I was wrong...
Is this the right choice?

Good Friday!
Holiday sure is good, especially when there is a chem test the next week.
I am NOT going to screw up my chem anymore.

Movie marathon was good yesterday/today
Onli managed to sleep for 1h or so yesterday.
Quite fun actually and Ip Man was cool =D

Slept from morning till evening today.
Guess I won't be able to sleep tonight.
O well... I will do work after tonight's dota.

My first A in JC and surprise surprise, it was math O.o
Well I still believe that it was jus a tool.
Work harder! MUST SCORE WELL FOR CHEM TEST!

I need to find ways to make myself happy like before...

Ahh... deep in de night...
When everyone is deep in sleeping, I am here to blog.

Maclaurin!
He got his PH.D when he was 19 O.o
I suspect foul play and pulling string...
Haha, I am jus jealous =P
Quite aspire to be like him (although it is impossible as I can't get my PH.D in 2 years time)
Yea, his 1st impression was good on me until the part when...
I HAVE TO STUDY HIS WORK.
f(x) = f(0) + f''(0)x + [f''(0) / 2!] x^2 + [f"'(0) / 3!] x^3........
Can't he be satisfied by jus leaving it in f(x)?
Why did he bother to obtain as many x terms as possible?
Yea, like wat Godwin says 'He jus created this to screw all our lives up.'
This is wat happen when u are a professor at 19 and have too much time on hand.
He probably got beaten to death or something...

Half the 'holiday' is gone!
So fast?!
Hopefully I can finish all my work on hand b4 term 2 starts.
Some say term 2 is when the 'excitement' really begin.
Felt pretty much stressed out in the 1st term and wonder wat lies ahead of me.
It will be nicer if I put it this way: to push my potential further.
In simpler words - my concept of stress is really nothing, a lot more Pascal can be added on.
School motto should be like: WITH PRESSURE, WE EXCEL!
I really feel like a tiny grain of rice, trapped in a gigantic pressure cooker.
Perhaps I will emerge stronger than before, we shall see.

End of a sch term!
Term 1 ended pretty fast.
And March holidays are coming.
Not much of a holiday actually.
It is jus sch days that u can wake up later.

Yea, I failed my first ever chem test!
9/25, an astonishing U grade.
It doesn't feel so bad when everyone got roughly de same score.
Nevertheless, it is still quite hurting for me =(
Need to adapt to JC style of tests soon, before all my grades start to drop.

List of work for 'March Holidays'
- PBL
- Motion under gravity (EL)
- Tutorials on kinematics
- GP readings
- IVLE Quiz
- History essay
- Gases (EL)
- Redox + stochiometry WS
- Maclaurin series (EL)
- Tutorials on graphing techniques

Looks like a holiday to me? Haha.

Finally find time to blog =D
No tutorial due tmr and weekends approaching.

The most relevent topic to talk abt today is definitely the CHEMISTRY TEST.
Yes, it is the 1st test I have in MJC.
The whole dam paper is so bloody long and we onli have 50 mins to complete it.
In the end, I left a structured qn blank =(
Chem department really feel jolly when they torture us....
I should be able to pass provided that I make no careless mistake.
Never have I feel this way before.
I do wonder wat is the purpose behind setting a paper which is impossible to finish.
Is it true that in A level examination it is impossible to complete the paper? Maybe.
This whole test made me feel like I dun know any abt stoichometry.
I predict physic test next week will be jus as bad.
Now I see why many had choosen the poly path wif single L1R5 score.
And the best part is, PW is not even in it.
Life will be tougher in term 2.
JC life sux. It really does.
I had let down Mrs Teh =(

Term 1 is coming to an end!
It means that I will finally have time to revise and catch up wif my studies.
I think I will be busy between school and my 2nd home in the holidays.
O ya, not to forget dear Maclaurin, pbl and kinematics.
Yea, the main point is that it will be a busy march holiday!

That is all for now.

I should be doing tutorial now....nvm.

Met Kelly today, dun even recognize her anymore.
Maybe I too suffer from the cannot-recognize-faces illnesses that Ms Wu suffers.
She turn out to be in the same class as Jansen and Cheng Boon.
Yea, it's a small world after all.
I was told that Meishan and Jessica are both in MJC as well.
Just last week I met Neville, in the toilet. (I noe, wat a queer place)
Kelly asked me y I lost so much weight since primary school.
This is a mystery that me myself is trying to find out for the past 2 years.

JC life is really......
I can't a suitable word to describe it.
Stressing? Maybe.
The fact is that I dun feel happy in JC.
The feeling is so different.
Perhaps it is the workload.
Tutorial seems endless and sort of make me feel insecured.
Perhaps it is the long lessons hours.
I haven't watch discovery channel and history channel since sch started.
Perhaps it is that I am too used to practising instead of learning (It has been 1/2 yrs since I learn new things)
I will give myself time, time to adapt and find out wat exactly is that something which make me so empty.

Need to finish my tutorial bye.

I am gonna sleep soon so I will make this post a short 1.

Practically spent the weekend doing nothing... except trigo tutorial.
Spent half my sat in my 2nd home and the other at Wydre's house.
"Valentine day, today sure no one de la!"
We were so wrong.
Nevertheless, it feels good to be at home.
I really miss that place veri much.
Clifford told me Chia Chang (who scored 7 too) appealed successfully from arts to sci stream and to 4 H2s in TJ.
Yea, y must he say all these now?
I should look forward and not to be trapped in the past.

Did nothing but to eat, drink and play bridge at Wydre's house.
Felt quite guilty abt letting the birthday girl did all (or most) of the painting job while the rest of us were enjoying ourselves.
But on second thought, I might ruin the banner if I attempt to paint.
I wonder when was the last time I hold a brush.
Amos and his pineapple lol.

Today, as usual, is my guitar class.
3 more weeks to exam, time really flies.
Need to practise more on the coming weeks.

Went national museum after that.
Not exactly the most interesting thing on Earth.
Few hundreds years of history of Singapore do not have much to tell.

Off to sleep, bye.

Jus made a facebook account, add me thx!

The end of a new beginning.

The 2nd day.

Got trapped on the bus for 35min today compared to yesterday's 20min.
2 factors:
- Mini traffic congestion.
- Ppl refusal to move further in the bus.
Which is a more important factor? EYA. [12m]
Still can't get over o lvl stuffs.

Never had I seen such cooperative bunch of people (except sec 1) b4.
The cheering section is so wonderfully done in such minimal time.
This onli make me feel that NAS SC sux.

Checked out de library today.
The air conditioning is crap, seriously. (2nd floor)
Stuffy room.

Managed to convinced the geo lecturer to allow me to take H1 geo.
Lecturer: 'Do u write well?'
Me: 'I have no choice but to take 1 contrasting subject that requires essay writing.'
Lecturer: 'That is true..... Write ur name on this paper.'
That doesn't sounds hard at all eh =D

Geo lecture further confirm that I had not made the wrong choice.
But I need to work doubly hard.
Reference book on geo at home hehe...

Did I mention an indecisive person name Jansen?
From Chem2 Bio2 Math2 Geo1
to Chem2 Bio2 Math2 Econ2
to Chem2 Bio2 Math2 Geo1
to Chem2 Bio2 Math2 Geo2
to Chem2 Bio2 Math2 Geo1 =.=
Pro eh?

Orientation fortitude will commence on thurs.
Hope seniors are all nice ppl......

Ahhh.... A new beginning....
First day at MJ, first taste of being a freshman.
We look like some sort of clown that amuse de J2s.
As if they had nv seen ppl who wear differently from them.
I reached sch pretty early at 6.40.
After all de boring talks in whole morning, we got to try demo lecture.
If wat I had experienced today is wat lecture is all abt, I will be glad that I am in JC.
Chemistry lecture is abt ionic equilibria.
It had been long since I last read that chapter but I still remember it well.
Injecting phenolthalein in presence of basic calcium hydroxide looks stupid ^^
pH = -log [H+] =D
Beautiful isn't it?
Actually this is in Mrs Teh's notes =.=
Physic lecture is abt the most hated physicist of all time: Issac Newton (Maybe jus me)
I dunno why but I seems to have bad blood wif newton.
We shall continue....
Momentum and the newton's 2nd law.
F no longer onli = to ma.
There is a new meaning to it.
Nett force acting on a body is directly proportionated to its linear momentum.
An example of how Math marries Sciences.

Hope my appeal for geo is a success!

Currently waiting for the clock to struck 12 - arrival of the year of ox.
Hence I wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year in advance =D

Hopefully PSP 3000 will be unmodifiable throughout this whole year.
Onli then price of PSP 2000 will continue to soar in the market.
Once the price of 2nd hand PSP 2000 soars to my speculation, I will sell =D
Profits? Lets hope so.
Stock markets are not longer safe to tempted wif nowadays.
So, y not try the PSP market ^^
But all it is not happening any sooner...
Dam the economy downfall.

Speaking of which, our budget this year is going to tap on our reserve to help save jobs.
I believe it is veri wise of the government to do so in this time of uncertainty.
This move will definitely win the support of Singaporeans.
Started to train my habit of reading newspaper everyday in preparation of GP.
Saw numerous life stories on unemployment thx to de economy.
Pretty depressing, isn't it?
Count ur blessings - Chua Chor Huat, 2005

Posting will be on the 30th, which, in my opinion, is so dam late.
Orientation and sch will kick start in 2nd Feb.
Wat happen to the appeal cases?
Do we have time for that?

I do miss sch.
I miss the times when we first learn elements, forces, cells, logarithms.
When we ate the canteen food with no choice and complaint abt its lack of quality b4 EPP.
When we sat on the hard wooden chairs, looking at the bus stop opposite on sat morning.
When we searched desperately for a new foxtrot comic off the shelf.
When we sat along the handrails during tea break and gossip.
So many moments to remember.
I would like to thx all those ppl who appeared in the last 4 years of my life.
No matter how significant u are.
Specially to my best buddies,
Thank you.

I will be off and uncontactable from tmr till wed night - Malaysia.
In the meantime, take care everyone: go easy on those heaty stuffs.

Hope u are satisfied wif this post, Godwin.

Happy and sad at the same time.
Ironic?

Ahh... 2009
A great year to come.

It feels kind of strange not going to sch yesterday.
Especially when the sch is so close to my house and I can see my fellow juniors.
Actually I feel kind of sad that I no longer have sch (At least for now).
Sometimes I really wonder were those days mugging and preparing for O happier than now.
Maybe I had lost my goal, making me so empty inside.
Maybe I jus like to study.
Or maybe I am too bored up at home.

My psp came up wif a problem yesterday, which I later found out to be 'stuck pixel' problem.
1 tiny pixel on de psp screen lit continuously green.
I remember I heard of this problem as 1 of the most common 'defect' in psp.
So I intended to send it to where it came from for reparation today.
This morning, while waiting for the shop to open so that I can call in, I came across an article.
The article claim to play a video provided on psp for few hours and a 60% chance to work.
The video is extracted from one that fix such problem in LCD screen of television.
Since I have nothing to lose (except electricity cost for video to run), I decided to give it a shot.
And surprise, surprise, THE SCREEN RECOVER WOOOH!
Yea, u bet I am happy abt it.

Chinese new year is coming.
And I am not veri excited over it.
I dunno y but it seems to me that I enjoy it more when I was a kid.
As I age, that feeling slowly fade off.

50% off movie tickets if u wanna go movie wif me this month =D
GV movie club rocks ^^

That is all.
I think I will post again when I get my O results, probably next week T-T
