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

Went for dental yesterday.
Dr Lim said that my molar has great improvement.
Hence I need not wear the rubber (or elastic) on de right side of my mouth.
Half a seal left then.

Tooth hurts this morning.
Power chain made 4 of my front teeth hurt.
Half the seal in my mouth feels awkward.

Clearing up my secondary sch stuffs the other day.
Can't believe that I had 3 thick piles of papers collected in 2 years.
Off to recycle! Except my notes.
They have quite some sentimental values to me.
Maybe one day I had to let it go.

Dream of results this morning.
This is de first dream that I had after so many dreamless nights.
I guess judgement day drawing nearer is the cause of why my sub conscious mind kept thinking of it.

Still have a few weeks more to enjoy myself.
I bet MOE is doing moderation as I am typing this post.
Who wans last year O lvl papers?

Back from holiday.
It seems that time flies pretty fast.
December is coming to an end.
It seems like jus a few weeks ago that I took my last paper.
RESULTS ARE COMING OUT SOON!

This trip mainly comprise of 2 parts: Hong Kong and China.

Interesting features abt communist China:
1) Great tourist spot for cigarette lovers! Air is filled wif nicotine any place, anytime!
2) Experience midtown madness in real life! Take a cab in China!
3) There is never a boring moment on the road without the sound of the car horns.
4) Mucus produced are constantly 'excreted' onto the floor everywhere on the street.
5) Dinner can last 3 h each.
6) U will appreciate catalytic converters MUCH MUCH more after a trip there. (As much as me)
7) Traffic lights and zebra crossing both lost their functions.
8) Hotel beds contain fleas/some irritants which cause rashes and itch on my body.

The trip there sux.
Avoiding spits.
Trying to gasp for oxygen in the contaminated air of nicotine.
Eating food that I dun really like.
Feeling so extra in the whole lion dancing/wu shu tour group.
Trying veri hard to listen to Cantonese when everyone jolly well understand Chinese in de tour group. Why not tok in Chinese instead? I will appreciate it veri much.
Waiting and waiting in a tour group. For who? Dunno.
If this is a Chan Brother tour, Chan Brother will go bankrupt in this recession period.
Guess the onli thing interesting is the part where we get to buy cheap stuffs.

I remember a moment when my sis and I were too bored that we actually count how many people stepped on the freshly spited spit.
I noe it sounds disgusting.
The 1st guy stepped on it and printed 3 other spit patches in the floor.
Worst than horror movie eh?

Yea, we should have nv followed this tour if not for the wu shu organisation my father is in.
Come to think of it we should have rejected this tour when mt father told us =.=
Anyway, I am glad that it is all over.
I will nv believe in all the discovery channel craps abt how is China like.

After that is Hong Kong.
Disneyland is fun =D
Rides there are of least exciting but the shows are awesome!
Faked snow made of soapy water falls from top of the buildings =.=
Fireworks rox, especially when it is behind the castle of the sleeping beauty.
It seems so magical, like the castle wif tinkerbell at the start of every Disney production.
But all magic comes to an end.

Another interesting thing is the space museum.
It portrays tons of information like those shown on History Channel: The Universe
Jus that many of the information have no link to one another on History Channel.
But I see the links in the museum =D
And was enlighten by them ^^
Apart from that, there are interactive stations.
One of it is the Moonwalk station (Not the MJ style)
It stimulate the situations when astronauts walk on the moon at 1/6 of his weight.
Yea it is fun =D

Not to forget the gigantic Wanton in HK.
3 wantons filled wif fresh gigantic prawns + noodles onli cost..... less than SGD $4
It is really nice =D
I can eat wantons all days XD

Ngong Ping 360 is a total waste of time.
Since it is so much of a waste of time, i shall not explain it further.

AT LEAST THERE IS NO SPITS IN HK!
But my sis and I grow a habit of looking on the floor when walking to avoid spits.
Thx to China!

That is all for now.

It has been long...
O lvl over...
Holiday started...
Having fun wif my new psp...
So many things happened so fast....
And not to forget, dec trip to HK.

Haven seen many of my friends for a long time....
Especially Ryan and Clifford.
Hope everyone is doing fine.
It is rathers sad that many of us will be heading in different direction next year.
How I wish that most of my good friends will go to the same school as me.

2 more months to enjoy ourselves...
Treasure it.

It has been a long time, I know.

'O' lvl is jus around the corner.
Everyone should be studying hard right now.

For a certain reason I feel pointless doing prelim papers given by teachers.
Paper after paper, jus doing those works for the sake of doing.
This was not wat I plan to have after the syllabus had completed.
I thought it was going to be something more meaningful.
The reality turn out to be something worst than those days when syllabus was not completed.

Post prelim preparation (PPP) was not useful at all.
It seems more like a waste of time.
The worst part was that I could not even concentrate and do work in class.
Thx god we had math periods.
PPP, please end soon.

I dun think I will post again until the end of 'O' lvl.
I promise that after the 'O' lvl I will post more.
Stay tune ok?
Best of luck for the exam =D

22 more days

Finally prelim was over.
I have confident this time round =D
Hopefully I will get wat I expected.

The issue on the class T shirt is more or less over.
I will say this issue made me think differently abt some ppl.
How wonderfully my tagbox was spammed, thank you.
I dun wish to talk abt this anymore.
All I can say is that jus think wat u believe is right.

1 more week till the end of school!
I am not sure whether a not the school will call us back for extra lessons.
But lets jus assume that school ends next week ^^

Enjoy this weekend and start working hard again next week onwards!
37 more days.

Weekend.
Countdown to prelim: T -4days

This post is to address the T shirt issue.

The class is intending to make T-shirt for this year.
And surprise, surprise I am one of the two who insisted that I do not wan a shirt.
After much convincing by mdm Ashikin, I still do not feel that I want that shirt.
Allow me to rephrase: I do not agree to the idea of making a new shirt.
I believe that many others are also reluctant to buy that shirt but bought it afterall.

Lets reverse the time and return to 1 year ago.
We were making this addidas shirt for $30.
"Pls buy the shirt, we will make it optional for next year."
I believe I heard something like this last year.
So the shirt is optional this year - my 1st point.

I remember that I did not complain or object violently last year.
I jus paid that $30 and I get my shirt.
But we never get to really use that shirt and I wore it less than 5 times last year.
Y waste the money on the $30 and not use it for class outing or something?
We can jolly well use last year shirt - my 2nd point.

When I got home that day wif my shirt, my dad told me:
"Wat happen to those who cannot afford $30 to buy the shirt?"
That makes hell lots of sense in me.
Far more sense than wat Mdm Ashikin told us that bio lesson.
Do we care for those who cannot afford it?
Do u people ask each individual wat is their reason for not buying?
Does this seemed considerate at all? - my 3th point.

I am not saying that I am poor or watsoever.
If I said that I will probably be beaten up.
Y must we get an addidas shirt when we can get 1 that cost half the price?
I can buy 2 shirt then, WOW!
And I said they won't force us to buy another next year.
My sis told me: " Dun say that too early. They WILL."
True enough, there is a second shirt this year.
And this is the closest thing to 'force' I had ever seen.
Lets express this in the equation, Pressure = Force/Area.
In my opinion, the value of area is a constant k to a power 0.
Get the idea?

I have Jia Hao, then Abhishek persuding me to buy.
Till I find it a bit irritating.
Dun get me wrong, u guys had good intention.
But I really stand to my point of not buying.
No matter how much SMS u ppl sent me, how hard u persude me, it is not gonna worked.
I even heard that my classmates are forking out money to buy the shirts of Clifford and me.
Seriously I felt very touch that my class cared so much abt me.
But if this really turn out to be the case, I will not accept that shirt even more.
It is like someone treated u to buffet in hotel and u accept it.
This made me feel like a free loader.
And u people know that I am not this kind of person.
So if u really care abt me, pls do not buy for me.
This will be wat is going to happen if I recieve the shirt:
1st I will talk nicely to reject the shirt.
If that does not work, I will pay the cost of the shirt and that shirt goes into the dustbin.
Trust me I really mean it.
I will no be part of the class anymore. (Although physically I am.)
We don't wan to have such a situation where relationships really turn that sour, dun we?

If I hurt anyone in this process, I apologise for my action.

So is my stand understood?
Hope u people will understand.
If not, jus treat me as a bastard who dun give a dam abt the whole class.
I am jus a self centered individual who does not know how to appreciate.
Ya, hate me this way.

65 more days.

Another week has started.
Prelim will start next thursday.
Kind of hoping that prelim will come faster so that I will no go to sch for boring lessons.

The CL students got back their O lvl CL result.
This reminded me that I got an A2 for my CL last year.
It sort of affected me as many of my close friend gotten an A1.
I fear that my HCL will be a problem and I might not pass it after all.
Yea, pessimistic.

I must complete my entire Chem TYS by today, no matter wat.
All I left was a section A, 2 section B and 3 Section C of chem to complete.
That is approximately 1 and a half paper, slightly more.

Got hooked up on Foxtrot lately.
All thx to Clifford who start digging up those comics from the library.
The collection was little, and I am finishing it =D

Lot to accomplish by today. Cya ppl.
70 more days.

Happy 43th Birthday Singapore!

Longs since I last blog.
Hope u guys are still around.

Library not open today.
So we went for alternative: T3.
And we got chased out by Mac =(
Yea, next time dun study in mac.
Study in somewhere that do not have the sign that says: Pls do not study from 6am - 12pm
Dislike mac.

EL O lvl oral next wed.
Need to score well in oral to pull my EL marks up.
Hopefully I will not screw for oral.

73 more days

Not going night study today.
And I dun think I will go anymore.
It took me quite some time to realise that it is useless after all.
All the toking.... noises.... it is all wrong.
I can do wat I had done in the 3 h of night study in 1h at night.
So.... That is the last draw.

Another week is coming to an end.
Time really flies.
Can't really believe that 82 more days I will be done wif everything.
And after the O lvl I won't be studying this same old nonsense right now.

Today I found out that Britain educational system is jus like Singapore.
They do not look for the knowledge but rather, the way u answer.
Perhaps this is the educational system we get in this world.
Not so much of do we understand but do we know how to answer.
They may seem the same.
But they are different
This made me recall something Mr Chee once said.
'It is not the knowledge that counts, but the wisdom inside u.'
From today onwards, understanding the knowledge is secondary.
Knowing how to writing is a way that will score is the main focus.
Evolution of education; education is no longer to educate individual.

I am currently waiting for the sun to set.
Night is cooler, and is better to absorb.
Maybe I should sleep in the afternoon and study till late at night.
Like wat my sister do.
I shall consider.

82 more days
