Himbo in nerd's body

half a year since last post

2011-06-16T17:44:00.002+08:00

my gosh, my last post was half a year ago!

anyway i watched x-men first class last week with stanley. i must say i really enjoyed it. i like the way they incorporated actual history into the movie.

yesterday i also went to minds cafe with daniel, neson and dennis, followed by pool. we had dinner at mad jack with stanley who came from baking cookies that tasted healthy. we then went to tcc, the coffee connoisseur, to chill out. i still have no idea how to pronounce connoisseur. i ordered nutty choco mocha, if i remember the name correctly. we had a long gossip session...

countdown to 2011

2011-01-01T19:48:00.003+08:00

yesterday was new year's eve.

my army friends and i went to nex for dinner at fish n co. it was my first time eating fish n co and my, i have to say it is much better than manhattan's fish market. apparently 8 days was having a photo exhibition for its 20 year anniversary at nex as well. there was a guest appearance by elvin ng and jade seah for 8 days. elvin ng looks the same as you see him in pictures and dramas, the tan skin etc.

after dinner we went to city hall and walked to marina bay from there. it was crowded like mad, or maybe its because it was my first time counting down at marina bay. so me stanley tecksoon and tevin walked and talked until we found a spot and sat down to chit chat. we talked about army and uni stuff. in fact, i started to wonder whether i should continue to consider law. i dont feel that i am suited for it. on ther other hand, mayve business is suitable for me? i really dont know. i always thought business was something common sense and not for me.

anyway, at 0000, there were fireworks! it has been quite some time since i last saw fireworks live. going home was the worse part. everyone pushed and shoved, including myself of course, LOL

it was really a road block. there was a queue to enter marina bay mrt but my friends and i managed to cut queue(thank goodness i wasnt the one who was leading) and enter the station earlier than the rest. i managed to take the train to city hall and switched to green line to eunos. from eunos i walked home and was glad to find what i ordered online in my letter box. i had waited for 3 weeks for that package. if it wasnt for the holiday season, the waiting time would have been halved.

2010 countdown was something i definitely will not forget!

"on holiday"

2010-11-26T18:51:00.002+08:00

so i am leave from 25 to 29 nov. and i won a 8 days contest to a pair of movie tickets to some science fiction movie which i cant watch since i have to pick my sisters from the airport on that day. and i downloaded maple again and realised how boring it is despite all the latest stuff. maple is definitely over.

random post

2010-10-28T21:22:00.002+08:00

felt like posting something now, some collection of random things/thoughts going on through my mind right now

firstly i had suscribed to 2 famous magazines in august, the economist and time magazine. costs me a bomb, but lucky i can pay using army allowance. the reason i decided to suscribe was because i didnt want my mind to rot due to not reading anything for 2 years. especially for my vocation which makes me so free by having a dismount day. but the thing is i read only while i am in camp, when i am out, i either go out or use the comp, like now. but i am glad my suscription to these 2 magazines serve another purpose next year when my sister enters jc. in fact, i am struggling to finish 2 magazines per week(both magazines are weekly editions).
i guess it is time i start to read quickly, like real quickly...

speaking of reading magazines, i have also started to read 8 days. quite a interesting magazine i must say.

secondly, i intend to learn driving soon, like real soon. this sat i am going to comfort delgro driving centre with my mum to register or whatever. that place is only 2 stops from my house, and its bus stops, not mrt stops, heh.

thirdly, i intend to do break something next year. haha. otherwise i will be too free on dismount days. afterall my friends are mostly in army, and my poly friends are having internship this year. going to korea next week, and before that i have ippt. haix, if only i can pass that station...
i wonder if spraining my ankle when i was young had anything to do with myself not being able to pass that station...

mario is such a classic gameboy game, i am glad they made a new version for the ds. the new 3d ds will be out next year, i wonder how much it will cost. oh and i will be promoted to lance corporal next month, forget the rank just give me the money!

time for new goals in life

2010-10-05T21:13:00.003+08:00

so right now i am in a rather good unit, good as in guard duty but not at gombak nor db. i intend to learn driving soon, like real soon. being a stay out unit is also taking a toll on my transport expenses.

i am on att c for tmr and thur, first time taking att c in my new unit. And i still have to mount on saturday!!!!!!!!!! qi si ren!!!!!!!!! what happened to att b!!!!!!!!!

SNAKE!

2010-09-30T21:49:00.001+08:00

today during duty i encountered a snake! oh my gosh, luckily i looked onto the ground otherwise i would have stepped on it!

new unit after mp pop

2010-09-18T07:54:00.002+08:00

ok, so MP POP is over and i have been posted to a new unit.

POP went well, considering the many rehearsels we took over 3 days. we had to wear accessories on the mp uniform aka no. 3 and it was rather troublesome. i forgot how to put on the whistle..

pop aside, my new unit..... ok, the thing is the life in my new unit is good, but traveling there sucks!

sentosa outing with san ba ju le bu

2010-09-11T15:53:00.002+08:00

had a great outing yesterday with my fellow 38 friends from quebec platoon 3. although not all the 38s were present, i still had a great time!

the meeting time was 12.30pm and yet most were late. lunch was at carls jr. although it was fast food, i was full as though i had just finished a buffet. after lunch wanted to take the monorail to sentosa but the queue was just too long. so we wanted to take the free shuttle which wasnt any better. so we opted for the smrt bus to sentosa itself.

we alighted at resorts world and it was also my first time there. the place was nice-looking and i wonder how much a night there costs. the place was swarming with tourists and construction workers who were there for sightseeing...

we had to walk a freaking long distance till we reached the sentosa shuttle bus station. from there we took the bus to palapan beach(later we realised we could simply just have walked). we found a spot and decided to play ultimate frisbee. believe it or not, the only sports equipment we had was a frisbee! even the one who suggested sentosa or the organiser himself didnt bring anything to play with...

luckily some kind folks next to us lent us their beach ball. so we tried to play volleyball without the netting but it didnt work out at all. so we switched to captain's ball, we didnt have chairs so the catchers stood on the beach floor.

it was fun! my team consisted of tevin kaixuan weehow kahwang and myself. we won i think, haha

we played a while and took a halftime. but instead of resuming with the game, we ended up chitchatting literally. we just sat there and took pics and talked non-stop.

later we went back to vivo and met up with nicholas. marche was too crowded and so we ended up eating at sakae sushi at harbourfront centre. teriyaki chicken ramen was not bad.

yesterday's outing was really memorable and fun! i dont remember laughing so much before in an outing. people who went to sentosa were meng guan, kahwang, hong hock, ding xiang, kaixuan, tevin, teck soon, wee how, jia rong, wei qiang and myself. i just realised so many of them do not have english names... those who went for dinner are the same as above minus wei qiang and add nicholas.

life as an mp

2010-07-24T18:21:00.002+08:00

life as an mp trainee has been quite smooth. military law test next week and i doubt i will study... ippt! i hope i can pass my sbj... i dont want rt!!!!

i am not sure if i made a mistake to sign up for that vocation... its very far from my home...i hope there is a fast traveling option to that place

MP 1st week and college day prize giving

2010-07-17T23:44:00.002+08:00

so this week was my first week of mp. not that bad. its like jc life actually with so many lectures going on. we are even allowed to eat during lectures.

yesterday was prize giving day at sajc. collected my jacob ballas award for getting 4 distinctions! got cert, pluck and a cheque. the cheque amount very little leh, i expected a few hundred dollars... sajc is so stingy!!!

and lucky after i booked out yesterday i went home to change to my formal attire for the prize giving as only 1 guy was in army uniform.

2010-07-10T21:13:00.003+08:00

buffet followed by confinement plus outing with bitch club

2010-05-31T10:33:00.002+08:00

ok on 28/05, me pj timo and jiehong went to eat kuishinbo buffet. it was delicious. but sadly i over-ate and felt nauseous. haix

then 29/05 had confinement cos my rifle got stunned during field camp. wah piang, confinement like chalet sia. depends on cos also actually.

30/05 was great. went out with 6 people. we had dinner at justacia. gosh the queue was long. watched prince of persia. not bad lah.... after which we spent time playing with ufo machines. wee how is a master of it, considering how much he spent on it...
people that went: stanley, tecksoon, weehow, abraham, ian and jixian

teo heng with timo and pj

2010-05-22T22:09:00.002+08:00

went to sing ktv at teo heng katongwith pj and tim lum today. when there are fewer people the chances of you being able to sing the songs you want is higher :P

after ktv was mahjong at pj's auntie's house.

dinner was great despite being cheap and simple

outing with army friends on 1st and 8th May

2010-05-08T21:58:00.002+08:00

i went out with my army friends on the 1st and 8th of may. on both dates it was a clique outing.

on 1st may we went to watch iron man 2. the movie was at 11.30am. i know its a bit shocking to catch a movie so early but the afternoon slots were nearly full. iron man 2 wasnt really worth watching for a cinema ticket worth $10.50. if it was $6 i wouldnt mind. the storyline wasnt complete and the climax of the show wasnt satisfying. had pastamania for lunch, which was another gossip session. went shopping at ion after that. camwhored for some time before dinner... had dinner at ion basement, at some small stall which had curry in its shop name. 3 of us shared a large bowl of curry rice with chicken, pork, prawn and hotdog. it was unforgettable!
people who went: me, wee how, teck soon, stanley, ian, abraham(didnt watch movie)

today, 8th may, we went to sing ktv at some place near bugis. its in the same building as the famous steamboat restaurant. it was the second time i went to sing ktv. it was fun! sang english chinese and korean songs! camwhored a bit as well. we sang from 11am to 6pm... had to smuggle in food for lunch. after ktv went to beach road with meng guan to buy stuff for field camp. i do hope we have a e-mart break next week. i have yet to fully buy whatever i want/need for field camp. ate subway for dinner before realising there was a astons nearby!
people who went: me, wee how, teck soon, tevin, ian, meng guan, abraham(didnt go ktv)

san ba ju le bu!

bookout dinner

2010-04-30T22:45:00.002+08:00

went to macs after bookout just now and had dinner with kaixuan, stanley, sara and kenneth. we didnt gossip and it was a good thing. i have never gossiped so much in my entire life before i entered the army. we talked about clubbing and the range/shooting . i missed marksman by 2 misses. sad case.

i am so glad i am in ptp. more time to make new friends!

smu interview to be postponed

2010-04-18T18:32:00.002+08:00

freaking pissed off with my sergeant. he told me 2 days ago, on friday, that my smu interview will have to be postponed as i am unable to leave camp from 27 to 29 april. and that is like 2 weeks before the supposed interview. furthermore smu office admissions is closed on weekends. how am i supposed to contact them? during camp, oh great

dont know how to plan

2010-04-10T00:31:00.002+08:00

not sure if i made a post about ns before, but anyway, 2 days ago was the worst planned day ever. and i am too lazy to type why...

but ns life has not been so hard so far, maybe because still ptp and not bmt yet.

NS

2010-03-26T22:32:00.002+08:00

okay i havent been blogging for a long time, especially since i enlisted.
ns life is stupid, we have tiles on the floor but we cant step on them. we have cupboards and we have specific instructions on how to place our items and what items we can only place. cleaning birdshit really makes me want to puke.

ns aside, i do hope i can get into my first choice of uni course that i want to study.

Hong Kong trip

2010-03-01T22:20:00.002+08:00

just came back from hong kong. was there from last friday to today, 27 feb to 1 march. it was my first time visiting hong kong. went to ocean theme park which was fun, sat the viking, did bungee jumping, took the hot air balloon and sat the cable car as though i have never sat on one before. did some shopping of course. the food there is nice but one can taste that they put quite a lot of msg. ate pork and beef and duck, no chicken and fish. i never knew duck meat was so common in hong kong. oh i tried goose meat too!

hong kong is a tipping country, the tour guide openly asked for hk$50 from every person as the tip for the entire journey.

the people or rather the chinese in hong kong (excluding those there from mainland china) look different from chinese from china, malaysia or singapore. fascinating isnt it? people of the same race but grew up in a different country look different. but i guess only chinese can tell chinese of different nationalities apart. just a side note, i have no idea how taiwanese and people of macau look like.

a tip!

2010-02-21T00:03:00.000+08:00

just now at work i received a tip!!!!

sakura international buffet so smart

2010-02-16T09:05:00.002+08:00

my workplace very smart, for cny eve, which is reunion dinner day, they split dinner into 2 shifts. first shift was from 5.30 to 7.30, second shift was from 8 to 10. so basically diners only had 2 hours to eat. so much for reunion

shopping!

2010-02-10T20:28:00.000+08:00

yesterday i learned the danger of loving to shop

cutlery?

2010-02-07T17:14:00.002+08:00

ok yesterday i was at work and a customer, lets say customer B, requested to have a certain table, lets say table A, after the group of customers who were using table A left. so when the group using table A left, i immediately went to clean table A for customer B. so i asked customer B if he wanted me to set the cutlery on table A. his reply was: what is cutlery?

customer B apparently is the boss/supervisor/manager of a group of construction workers. i really dont know whether to laugh at him or feel sad for him.

oh i suppose i should laugh at him, he behaved as though he booked the entire restaurant. he carried out a lucky draw which made so much noise that when the restaurant supervisor walked past them, i could see her fuming.

when to quit

2010-01-31T23:11:00.000+08:00

i am thinking when i should quit

horrible day at dhoby ghaut sakura

2010-01-30T16:47:00.001+08:00

yesterday was horrible, i dont ever want to work at another branch again. its a stupid idea. and if its because they have a lack of staff, too bad!

job training

2010-01-29T16:16:00.001+08:00

oh great, later i have to go the the branch at dhoby ghaut for training. so sian!!!!!!!!

birthday present

2010-01-28T21:50:00.002+08:00

went to watch the imaginarium of doctor parnassus with jie hong today. it wasnt really that great to me. at the end of the movie, heath ledger's name appeared. then it struck my conscious, isnt he dead? true enough, i just checked up on the movie and learnt that 3 actors had played the role of 1 character, the same character played by heath ledger.

oh and i received my supposed bday present today! thanks guys!

ecp cycling with paul isaac and qinhong

2010-01-27T10:59:00.002+08:00

went cycling yesterday at ecp with paul isaac and QIN HONG. like wow, havent seen him in ages and saw him yerterday. we ate lunch at hong kong cafe before cycling. the food was alright i guess, although i didnt find it that fantastic. cycling was fun! gosh, we cycled to changi village. and it was the longest cycling route i have ever cycled. and that paul wong, always want to be in the lead, what a attention seeker, LOL

new nintendo ds!

2010-01-24T20:43:00.002+08:00

ok my previous nintendo ds was beyong repair apparently so i bought a new one today, YAY!!
the previous one was white but the new one is navy blue in colour, and since i have 2 new games also, i have like 3 games to complete before ns.

anyway, i really feel like quitting my job, fnb doesnt feel like the thing for me.

most "memorable" birthday to date

2010-01-21T16:04:00.003+08:00

today is the most "memorable" birthday i have ever had. i was supposed to go out with some of my friends yesterday, but i couldnt because i was unwell. i feel very apologetic as i have kept changing the plans for yesterday's outing and yet in the end it was still cancelled.

on wednesday morning (yesterday), around 3-4am, i woke up with diarrhoea. after the second time i had diarrhoea, i was leaving the toilet with my head feeling giddy. as the sky was still dark and no lights were on, i couldnt see and so i bumped into the kitchen furniture and fell. the worst part was as i fell, my face hit against the table in the kitchen and hence, there is now a scratch on my face where the flesh is visible. luckily it just the abrasion of skin.

so today which is my birthday, i am supposed to go out with my mum but i am yet fully recovered as i have a headache. i didnt see the doctor so i have no clue to what my illness is, although i suspect it is stomach flu. i had a fever, headache, dizziness and diarrhoea. no vomiting though, thank God. i also have no clue as to what caused my illness. it is either the weather or something which i ate.

first job experience

2010-01-18T10:17:00.002+08:00

okay, last night was the first job experience in my life. i worked as a waitor in sakura international buffet. the job is rather easy as i just have to clear the tables of used plates. working there makes me lose my appetite for buffets...

american idol 9!

2010-01-16T21:57:00.002+08:00

i just watched the first episode of american idol 9. it was interesting and fun to watch as it was the auditions. not forgetting to mention i also had a few good laughs. so the judges were randy, simon, kara and guest judge victoria beckham. victoria is so skinny! gosh, so much for being rich.

ASTONs

2010-01-14T21:41:00.004+08:00

went out with jie hong to orchard yesterday to look for job openings in shops at vivo, wisma and takashimaya. we ate sakae sushi for lunch. we both ate the salmon metekayaki(not sure how it is spelt) set.

met isaac later to walk around in national library. we literally went to luo kuo chiang reference library and walked around the shelves. first it was up and down the main pathway perpendicular to the shelves. next was zig zag around the shelves. we were talking as we walked. people would look or stare at us as we walked. so we finally decided to sit down, with a random book in our hands. but we still chatted. after about 10-20 minutes of sitting down we left for suntec city.

we met keith at suntec and decided to go into astons first while waiting for alvin and sherwin. we got the loser seats. our table was located next to the door for the kitchen. and it was not even the door where waitors come out with the food, it was the door where the waitors will carry the used plates to.

the food was alright, but for some strange reason i couldnt really taste the chicken... but i have to admit, astons is affordable. furthermore there wasnt any service charge, haha.

we went to the arcade to play (not in order) racing, table soccer, photo hunt and err i not sure what the last game is called. photo hunt was interesting. some of the photos used were really suggestive.

after arcade we went to swensens for topless 5. what a weird obscene name for a ice-cream. each of us got to choose a flavour. the flavour i chose was chocolate, which everyone loves! (get lost if u hate chocolate, just jk) keith chose the old vanilla flavour, which was yellow(wts right). it didnt even taste good, even keith himself said it.

in case u guys were wondering whats with the random outing, thats because its a ncc clique outing! we are known as SKADI!

Muthu's Curry

2010-01-10T17:05:00.002+08:00

Today my family went to Muthu's Curry for lunch. I believe Muthu's Curry is one of the most famous Indian cuisine restaurants in Singapore. The crackers which i think is called potopum... was free flow and free of charge. The rice was free flow but not free. The mutton was nice. The tiger prawn was big and ex, $7 per prawn. Ok this isnt a food review but i just feel that it is expensive. Maybe its normal for Indian cuisines to be priced like that but i think dim sum is much cheaper :) LOL

venture era company pte ltd

2010-01-08T19:52:00.004+08:00

today i supposedly went for a job interview after responding to a advert at gumtree. the ad stated that the job post would be a sales assistant. the company's name wasnt posted on the ad and i was forgetful enough not to ask when the guy called me asking to go down for the interview. when i met him, i realised the company was none other than VENTURE ERA!

venture era is a conmpany that sells its products through network marketing. i must say they are quite persuasive and it seems like a really good idea to join their company. but unfortunately i am not interested in selling products, much less dealing in business or being a boss. yes, i am not interested in being my own boss(for now...who knows, i might change in the future).

my gosh, i felt like leaving the moment i found out it was venture era but it would be too mean. so i sat through the entire briefing which lasted for about 1 hour plus. tomorrow some vip is going to the company at the mdis building in eunos for some seminar. i cant remember whats the name of the seminar. apparently its a really important seminar where everybody will be dying to get tips on how to improve the method of selling their products.

so far i guess i learnt quite a lot. weird as it may sound, the fact that i rejected quite a few job offers or decided not to apply for some made me learn an important lesson. and unfortunately i do not really know how to phrase the lesson learnt in words. if i say grab every opportunity possible, it will sound like a typical singaporean(what lesson is there?). i cant say cherish what u have for i never had a job to begin with. ok maybe there is no new lesson but just a reminder to appreciate what is in front of me before it is too late??????

pretty(ugly) soon, it will become himbotic thoughts, NS life

2009-12-29T14:04:00.002+08:00

went rollerblading with paul jie hong and isaac at east coast park ytd, sean came late and paul rollerbladed with him. went to meet keith and alvin at mind cafe. we played only one card game for 2+ hours. i dont even know the title of the game... peijun came late and didnt play at all, lol

Derek's Birthday

2009-12-19T19:13:00.003+08:00

celebrated Derek's birthday today at justacia. we bought him a brownie as a cake and a memorable birthday present... (only me and pj should know why). i like the new soft ice-cream provided by justacia which is from a machine similar to those found in macdonalds. oh, peijun was humiliated today, MUAHAHAHA

who ask him big mouth call me david jiejie, he deserved it!
the girls sitting at the table beside ours heard him and started laughing. something worse happened later on in which pj was called a name which i will not post here, haha.

after justacia, we went to SMU to walk around. little did we know that there was a board games fair going on there. we joined in of course. at first we played a game called...(opps i forgot the name). anyway, we felt the game was boring and so we switched to tie-ti, or however it is spelt. after a few rounds we switched to heart attack.

it was so funny! we kept throwing out the same card number, and when someone said heart attack, everyone will chiong to put their hand at the centre of the table first. and when the person pretend to whack, everyone will withdraw their hand in such a manner like spasms. and pj laughed like a pig!

avatar the movie

2009-12-19T19:08:00.002+08:00

went to watch avatar the movie with jie hong yesterday. it was nice. and i felt it was realistic, especially the part in which that group of humans will do anything for money, to the extent of creating a calamity like war.

i ate dinner at the food junction in 313. i ate rice with potato, chicken and 2 pieces of cracker from the indian cuisine stall. the cost was $6.

buffet at suki sushi

2009-12-18T08:11:00.001+08:00

ate suki sushi buffet yesterday. my gosh, dont ever go to hougang plaza.

himbo moment

2009-12-15T18:59:00.002+08:00

went to watch new moon with jie hong today. when i went to buy lunch at the western food stall at the basement of cathay cineleisure building, i said something extremely himbotic. i have ate at food courts many times before, and i have no idea why i siad what i said today. i asked the western food stall seller: is it self service?

SAJC Graduation Night

2009-12-08T20:08:00.002+08:00

yesterday night was graduation night. the clothes i wore were straight from my cupboard. no shopping was done at all. even my tie belonged to my father, and the pattern on my tie reminds me of DNA molecules. my sister helped me to style my hair and she was even more excited than me for my prom. upon reaching orchard mrt, i walked to shangri la hotel.

when i reached the entrance, i regretted a bit on not wearing a blazer as many guys were wearing one. i got a greater shock upon realising that everyone took the prom so seriously. especially the girls, many dressed like wannabes of princesses, LOL

the food was generally alright, although i am not sure if it was better than the one for sas grad night. there were also 2 bands that played. my gosh, the first band created noise, not music. the second band was alright, i never knew brandon could sing, or even if i did, i forgot.

the saints hunt pageant was pathetic in my opinion. i dont even know who f1 and f4 are. or rather, the location of my table sucks. i was sitting at the back, so i couldnt see the faces of f1 and f4. stage games was even more pathetic. but since i didnt buy any new clothes, i guess $95 for prom was slightly worth it?

i was also hoping i would win something from the lucky draw. my number was 26, and 22 won something. not fair!!! when prom ended it was a mad rush to take pics with my sas friends.

day when a level ends

2009-12-04T13:18:00.004+08:00

well, bio paper 1 was a killer, just like chem paper 1, but at least it is all over now!!!

wanted to go to jie hong's house after bio p1 to slack before meeting isaac, alvin and keith at 1pm at the heeren. but jh didnt answer so i decided to go for the alternative plan which is to head down to the national library board. read and borrowed some mangas before i rushed to buy a game.

went to comics connection at iluma to see if they had pokemon mystery dungeon: explorers of sky. but it turned out that they were out of stock! so i went to plaza singapura's comics connection to find out that it was also out of stock there.
but thankfully plaza sing also has a electronic games shop called gaming era. so i bought it there!

had lunch with jie hong,keith,isaac and alvin at waraku at the heeren. i love udon!!!!
and we made a lot of jokes and it was so fun! i remember we were making fun of keith, we were talking about him being a spy. i said no one will suspect him, and alvin added:" even if no one suspects him, he will also be unable to finish his mission" LOL

after lunch we went to play lan, my gosh, i think it was 1.5 hours of counterstrike? quite fun. but couldnt play left4dead 1 lan, dont know why. so i played single player and chose billy. made a mistake, i had to lead the other npcs when i myself am afraid of the zombies...

LOL outing with pj, timo and derek

2009-11-27T21:16:00.003+08:00

lol went out today when bio paper 1 is next week. went out with timo lum, pj and derek. met timo at ion orchard first. supposed to meet at 11am but timo overslept so pushed back to 1130. but turned out that i arrived at 11. so i decided to go shopping first. we arrived at tampines at 1330, half an hour early before the scheduled meeting time of 1400 with pj and derek. and i am still wondering what pj and derek were doing at tanjong pagar.

we ate lunch at nihon mura, student buffet. not say very nice lah. seoul garden better, but more fattening i think. ate quite a lot. i was so full that when i tried a clam, i nearly wanted to puke. am i am definitely addicted to coke!

while waiting for the bus at the busstop, -- cheated a woman of 80cents. i will be nice and not say the name directly. a woman wanted to know how to get to tampines avenue 7 and asked us. pj kindly went to check the information board at the busstop and told her what bus to take. when the bus arrived she only had a $2 note. so -- kindly took out 2 coins which i thought were two 1 dollar coins and pass it to that woman. the woman insisted that -- took the $2 from her in return. -- resisted but the woman insisted. after the woman left, -- then revealed that he gave her $1.20 and got $2 in return, and he was happy, saying that he had "earned".

went to pj relative's house to play mj, won only like 3 or 4 times out of like 12 rounds or more. but i dont play money so i didnt make any loss. i dont gamble.

from today till next sunday free

2009-11-17T16:44:00.002+08:00

woohoo! from today till sunday i am FREE to study. no more papers this week. haha, those who study h2 econs and physics have 3 more papers this week while i am FREE!!!

i have sorted out chem p1s, bio p1s and p3s from my huge pile of prelim papers. i also threw away the used foolscaps for chem and maths into the paper recycling bin at the void deck, not to forget the huge pile of human geog notes which i never read before. sian waste like a couple of dollars on notes which i never read before. haix.

right now i am like, when will A levels end?

first week of A levels

2009-11-13T13:53:00.002+08:00

finally 1st week is over! 7 exams gone just like that within a week. 4 more left, cannot slack, must strive on. but i think i will slack a bit today...or a lot.
cant believe some maths teachers actually went to work out the answers for paper 1. i dont ever wanna look at it, later demoralise myself...

1 day to A level

2009-11-07T22:01:00.002+08:00

ok A levels for me is in 2 days time, make it 1 perhaps. i just looked through the 07 and 08 A level h1 geog paper and realise much has already came out. well 7 papers in 1 week. boon or bane? i wouldn't want to find out using myself as the specimen.

long time no post

2009-10-22T18:20:00.003+08:00

i just realised i havent blogged in a long time. well got great news, army enlistment is in march! amazing right? somemore i didnt pass my napha, WHICH IS A BAD THING ACTUALLY. well anyway, i wouldnt want to pass my napha after a lvls too. not wise to do so.

if i pass, i will enter ns in may, which is super late, and i dont want to be the last among my friends to do so...

secondly if i pass, i must maintain for another 2 months otherwise when i enter in may i will be back to square 1.

lastly, if i am gonna be enlisted in may and i didnt work, that will be a big waste of time and it reflects on how useless i am. and if i do work, i have to start work like a few months before may, then how am i gonna train for napha?

so, looking on the bright side, i just need to strive for a few weeks till the end of a lvls, like wtheck? dec 3 then end =.=

2009-10-16T21:18:00.002+08:00

ok, so my blog posts dont get to have a title due to the skin i used. anyway, 26 or is it 25 more days to doomsday. geog and bio, i really need to love you. i wonder if i may become a geog teacher next time...

farewell assembly was alright... i liked the s19 video, so intelligently planned and made. must be ho wei li's idea, i think

30 more days

2009-10-10T09:56:00.002+08:00

the title says it all...for bio and geog i have yet to finish syllabus...

and to think sa bio and geog distinction rate last year was aprroximately 50% each...

the best is yet to be

LOL

sas japanese food

2009-10-02T20:37:00.004+08:00

today there were some scholarship/ university faculty booths in sajc. of course i grabbed the opportunity to squeeze as much information as i can out of them. first i talked to the woman representing ntu's humanities and social science (HASS) faculty. she was neither a teacher nor student of ntu, but a staff that is to publicise for ntu. i asked her about cca, mode of exams, and yes, there are interviews to get into ntu's HASS. i roughly learnt what sociolgy is about and what is the difference between majors and minors...
anyway, i dont think i would want to go into ntu, i still prefer nus, ntu got the word nanyang, so chinkish!

next was the staff from MOE who was there to promote teaching scholarships. she is so nice to talk to! well maybe cos she seems to be more mature and down to earth (actually i got no idea what down to earth means! =.=)

after which i went to sas with timo lum to try out the japanese food stall which wasnt around when i was in sas. apparently on fri they only sell 3 dishes. the title of the dishes was "the meat in the meal " don. like for example: unagi don. but they dont sell unagi don if i rmb correctly. anyway i dont rmb the name of what i ate. at first i thought don was noodle, but it turned out to be rice, so i guess don means rice? mine was chicken don, and of course the name of the dish wasnt called chicken don. some complicated japanese word. it was served with rice, mashed potato (rice represents asia and potato represents west?), the thick brown sauce/gravy, and the chicken. there was also some seaweed condiments. the seaweed was nice. speaking of which, there is also 2 noodle stalls now and a new mixed rice stall. this means i have 2 more stalls to try! and i have to try them soon before school closes!

food

2009-09-27T19:32:00.000+08:00

if u want a meal that will make you full, go and eat at carl's junior

25th post!

2009-09-23T22:08:00.002+08:00

hmm i dont know where to start....but this is my 25 post!

apparently nicholas told raj that my clique in school is prominent since it is made up of 3 indians and 1 chinese, when it should be 3 indians 2 chinese...

and speaking of prelim results, i am very happy for my chem!!! but unfortunately it was at the expense of my maths, i wonder how well i will do for bio... gp paper 1 was good, but paper 2 sucks. geog is mysterious

today's gp lecture made me realise that my gp tutor is better at lecturing rather than teaching, is that good or bad?

oh and annie tang is hilarious!
"...jump on the bandwagon"
"...barking up the wrong tree"
"...cannibalised your answers"

she is truly hilarious and i had such a fun time laughing at what she said. she even used the words loser and damn, like hello? she sweared?
*damn is a swear word for those who didnt know, lol

oh and when she talked about listing all the possible arguments for aq on a paper and chosing the appropriate ones to use, she even used the analogy of when a guy chooses a wife, he will look at all the choices before choosing one

and she also said woman dont pick any men from the street, and tabitha and caroline were just in front of her!

she even asked that, i forgot her name, let me recall, yes mrs kang, i forgot her english name, if she has one. she asked mrs kang to agree with her that they need to approve their future son in law or something like that. it felt like some mothers chat =.=

and i am tired of studying... i cant remember if i felt this sian after my prelims in 2007

long time no post

2009-09-19T20:00:00.003+08:00

ok i think it has been a week or so since my last post. i am so glad prelims is over. but i need to continue the momentum for like 50 days or so till the A levels. apparently i have 7 papers in the first week of the a levels, madness right?

oh yesterday i went out with pj after my bio paper 1. paper 1 was kind of difficult...
after the paper i went to watch the ugly truth at century square with pj.

while on the mrt train to tampines, one idiot guy looked at me from head to toe twice. his facial expression was like as though he was challenging or comparing himself with me and saying "u think u very good ah". Sickening male bitch, i felt like slapping his face. he is tan and i am fair, he is taller but thinner(more like skinny actually), and around my age...
i am just speechless... really
furthermore i was in my school uniform =.="

i didnt know the ugly truth was a nc16 movie and shaw had student priced tickets at $6. the movie wasnt really that great, i only had a few laughs, compared to bedtime stories. and i saw the trailer for 2012, i think i wanna watch it, quite interesting, the world will end in 2012. =.=

after the movie pj had to leave for a friends house so i went for a stroll in tampines1, followed by a bus ride to marine parade library. while on bus 31, i realised i had forgot to check the number of bus stops prior to the library. and it was raining... and i learnt from a book in the library that chocolate is a source of iron, and out of 100g of beef, 20g is protein

at about 430 i met isaac and timo lum at the ntuc fair price of marine parade. while i was waiting outside, they appeared from the inside and were walking out. infront of them was a woman who thought the one-way "gate" that allows u entry when u push it(that supermarkets usually have) would swing outwards as she was leaving the supermarket. so i was sniggering as she tried to push the "gate" using her body (since the gate was low) and she couldnt. so when i told isaac and timo why i laughed they said i was very bad...=.=

then immediately when we wanted to proceed to the underpass to east coast, timo turned and walked into a fence outside the supermarket, i laughed out loud!

cycling was fun! however instead of the 2 hours we only cycled for 1.5 hours. and isaac and timo called me carzy when i wanted to continue cycling after 1.5 hours. those lazy bummers!
dinner was steamboat buffet! smart right? exercise then gain weight...

isaac ate subway though, he didnt want to gain weight. traitor!

so only me and tim ate the steamboat. quite delicious. it was my first time eating steamboat BUFFET. somemore got bbq also. and 7/11 is a total ripoff, i dont know why the prices of their stuff increased 10-fold. i bottle of mineral water costs $2.05. like seriously, are they insane?

after bio

2009-09-04T21:47:00.002+08:00

ok i barely studied for bio paper 2 and i am glad at least i could write something for the questions. went to iluma after the paper which ended at 10. quite a spacious shopping centre, or rather a waste of space! film garde movie tickets are expensive... but i admit iluma looks classy. going to places like vivo and iluma really makes me want to be rich in the future. although my instincts tell me it is better for someone like me not to be rich.

went to eat seoul garden alone for lunch, and i dont care what others think about this. didnt really eat a lot, but was still full. i ate for 1.5 hours, quite short actually for a seoul garden buffet. in fact right now i am still full even though i skipped dinner...

i wanted to walk to nlb after lunch but i realised i smelled like seoul garden. i think thats the interesting part about seoul garden, or maybe its normal because i was cooking my own food? and one thing i dont like about the seoul garden at bugis is that its wok is so low. not like the one at tampines which is higher.

brain fried

2009-09-03T18:39:00.003+08:00

ok the school has no brains. i had chem p3 and geog today and tomorrow i have bio paper 2. meaning right now after a long day of exams i still have to study for a mentally draining subject. well at least if i do badly i can tell my mum why.

and speaking of geog, the reason why i took h1 geog and not h1 history even though i have a background with history was because i hated source based questions. and today, one of the geog date response questions had sth similar to a sbq. so angry...and it was a good thing that i studied for geog in the 4 hour break which i had after chem p3, some of the things which i studied for came out.

i realise the posh brownies sold in school dont really taste that great, maybe thats the reason why its 1.80, compared to the 2 dollars plus at dhoby exchange itself, fell like eating just acia now just thinking about dhoby exchange.

i want to visit ion orchard!!!!!

watching tv

2009-08-28T13:14:00.000+08:00

last night i was reading the papers but my sis was watching tv, so i decided to watch a bit as well. saw the last part fo the hannah montana show if the title of the show is correct. followed by the sth sth life of zack and cody. quite interestingly lah the show, one twin is fatter than the other, LOL

and i also watched some variety show on channel 56. haha quite funny, but i dont know the title...
its something to do with taiwan(like duh? most variety shows are from taiwan). apparently they went to some campus to play games. those weird games where either the locals or hosts will play and then they give money for the best timing etc.

one game was when 2 groups of 2 will run from opposite directions up a huge "mountain stack" of hay, whoever from either side pulls the flag out of the peak of the hay wins. so the last round was where a female host would be the "flag". this time however, they would have to kiss her and it was supposed to be a match between 2 guys, one student and 1 host. and when the cheif host said start, all the other male hosts and male students ran up the hay as well, so pervertic and funny.

tomorrow's the start

2009-08-26T22:09:00.000+08:00

tmr marks the start of prelims which will last till september 18. thats like about 3 weeks long.

Good luck everyone!

sigh

2009-08-24T23:28:00.000+08:00

ok i wanted to blog yesterday but ended up watching tv at night. yesterday i ate carls junior for the 1st time! not bad i should say, love their shasha sauce(if i rmb it correctly). i ate double western cheese burger or sth like that, cant rmb... their fries are nice! it reminds me of popeye's fries.

and last night i watched tv! i dont watch tv usually u see. i was watchign alien vs predator:requim on channel 58, star movies. wanted to watch it at 7pm, but had to study... so i watched it at 8? sigh, i missed part of the action already actually but nevertheless still watched it. alien is amazing, so many weapons on one body...predator even better, it injects it eggs from its mouth into people and the eggs hatch like what, 10 minutes later? gross... if such things do exist in outer space, i rather humans nvr cross paths with such creatures, or at least until i die. lol

speaking of which, during gp lecture last fri, the gp teacher said humans have sent a probe into outer space that is orbiting in beyond the solar system. amazing right? while typing this i was thinking how the probe moved in space. then i realised that space is a vacuum.
hmm i have no idea how it moves cos i dont take physics, haha

i decided to push napha back to after prelims, yea gotta go to the toa payoh stadium thingy. no choice lah, from 0 zero fitness from young then this year then start training... who would believe if i told them what my first real sec sch cca was...

and i just finished a geog essay before typing this post. woohoo! human geog seems interesting. but physical geog gonna drain my memory... maybe thats why my brain capacity seems to have decreased...

2009-08-22T12:06:00.000+08:00

still havent passed...

and geography is killing me...its like bio, full of content but evaluation is needed as well.

angry with myself

2009-08-17T22:05:00.000+08:00

i am really helpless, 9cm more...

not to forget 9 days left...

am i in my own world?

2009-08-12T21:56:00.002+08:00

ok. prelim is the week after next, yet i am behaving as though nothing is gonna happen. what is wrong with me? yes i do study last minute mainly, but this is a levels where the content load is crazy, not like o lvls. haix, maybe i am taking this too lightly, but i cant bring myself to study. maybe i can only do that when i can stay at home and study all day, which is after term 4 ends for j2. DAVID TAY WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(i can still laugh while typing this...)

okay i finally managed to find my favourite manga online!!!!! rave groove adventure at www.onemanga.com . i wonder if i will get distracted from my studies because of it...but its a great way to destress!!! oh i heard the word destress doesnt exist actually...

finally today we finished the maths syllabus...last school to do so...should be...

8 august

2009-08-08T20:57:00.002+08:00

well, the only reason why i bothered going to school yesterday was because the sajc dance society was performing, not me, but the j1s. seeing them dance makes me miss dancing. well 21 aug is the last day of perf, which i wish will be cancelled, but realistically its impossible. the j1s hip hop item wasnt too bad i guess :p

overall i guess it was ok considering that not all the j1s performed, and my standard was worse than theirs when i was j1. not sure who choreographed it, but should be the j1s themselves, i'm sure zaki would do a much better job...but if it was zaki who choreographed it then i have no comments...

the indian dance by the indian cultural society was also not bad. it was an all female dance and i felt that the steps were alright, but interestingly the choreographer herself wasnt smiling when she was dancing, the other girls were.

this year's national day celebrations pales in comparison to last year's. making a hamper is so boring! not that last year's wasnt boring, but at least last year got "catwalk" by the mascots.

after the celebrations went to lt4 for chem revision, mrs loi was eating in the lt. and to think i got scolded by ms wong for eating in the auditorium. if sa teachers are already like that, what more do they expect from the students? also, the complains of teachers themselves arent being heard, for example, when the gp accelerated program and acad planner clashes, the teachers arent being heard in the aspect that they have no choice but to continue the running of the programs simultaneously for the students. weird right? no wonder so many teachers left the school. managment sucks and staff are divided. ppl say mrs lee want to change the school to be like crescent, and teachers not satisfied then want to leave, and then leave. hmm not sure if i should be posting this actually...haha

oh, and mr soccer captain made a fool out of himself. after mrs loi's revision in lt4, when he was leaving, he and his friend kept saying bye to mrs loi becos mrs loi was talking to somebody else. so while they kept repeating themselves, they were looking at her, so our dear captain didnt see the door and collided into it, so hilarious man. i slapped raj while laughing

apart from school life, my studious life is killing me. i cant put myself to mug 24/7. i do homework yes, and it alone is enough to kill me. apart from that, whenever i want to seriously study or do work. i get a runny nose. like what is wrong with my body??!!! is it normal or is it just me? somebody please tell me. i get the feeling that i am not cut out for studying, but if that is so then i am doomed. i have homework for every subject, except gp, thank God. prelims is now 2 weeks aways and i am so freaking screwed. my geog content is minute, and physical geog requires brain capacity, like BIO.

so much for a confidence booster, more like a crusher. 10 weeks or so more to a lvls? wow, my prelim papers are still mostly untouched. this didnt happened during o lvls...if i rmb correctly...

sTRESS

2009-08-03T22:15:00.003+08:00

okay 2 more weeks to train for napha and i really want to get it over and done with. not to forget, maths and bio have yet to complete the syllabus and loads of revision piling up. lastly, loads of prelim papers are waiting for me to touch them.

i dont quite get sampling for maths. and this reminds me, sampling for maths and evolution for bio are like out of the box topics. u dont have to study for it to be able to ans qns on it.

geog is also taking a toll on me. oh gosh human geog i loathe(love) u! globalisation...well thanks to it at least i can choose a qn related to it in gp paper 1.

nothing significant happened so far. truly a studious life.

no wait i just remembered, stupid leawo program. basically i have been using that program to convert videos for my itouch. and recently, like a few days back, it stopped working. it was a really convenient program to use and i really loved it and now it backfired on me. i was so freaking pissed, but thanks to kai wen who recommended me another program, prism, now i can convert videos once again. i still remembered when i tried to search for a video converter myself, many of the programs i tried produced videos which had watermarks, and the quality sucked.

cant wait for liberation!

Hendon Camp

2009-07-29T21:23:00.002+08:00

went down to hendon camp today, there were quite a lot of guys. they came from all the diff jcs. but i didnt see any mj or mi. saw a few sa ppl, including james, which is from s06, he was my p5/p6 classmate in sajs! my detour, which is actually a group, was detour 7, and was the last detour. not sure if it is spelled as detour though, but that was what it sounded like.

they made us do pull ups, pushups, standing broad jump and situps. thank God no running. and i had to do all these were controlling my stomachache, for the toilet was dirty and there wasnt any toilet paper and soap. horrible right?

psychomotor assesment was weird, made us do some weird stuff which i sucked at. :(
the interview was alright...and i do hope i get to become a commando. i want the status, to make myself stronger and to learn new things. i like knowledge, being a commando, one gets to learn the basics of everything, so cool right? and commandos dont really have to do drills! drills are like so boring, had enough of it already...

omg, the FOOD there is HORRENDOUS. ok maybe cos i just ate a chicken burger, but still, something so basic already taste so bleh! according to another guy, the noodles of his wanton mee was tasteless, haha

lastly, we had to do a 2-3 hours iq and personality test, seriously, iq tests are always the same, give u a pic with a missing piece, choose the piece that bests fits. give u a sequence, choose the option that is the next value. there was also a personality test, which was long, not to forget a test on how one copes with stress, interesting right?

right now i just want to pass my napha and concentrate on a levels. because of today's hendon camp thingy i missed a mock chem test, haix. i wanted to postpone the screening thingy to next fri, but it seems that i cant cos the screening will only be held yesterday, today and tomorrow. out of 700+ guys in total, only about 250 will be chosen to be commandos, and even after that, some will drop out. sigh, i am a person who loves face. since my older cousin from my father's side was a commando, and if i dont beocme one, and my 2 younger male cousins become commandos, wont i be like the odd one out?

sianzzz

2009-07-27T21:27:00.002+08:00

haix, life is seriously so boring. i am blogging for the sake of blogging actually. but anyway mr. soh gave us a long talk during pe about ptp and how if we dont pass napha we must go for it.

my mind was like: hello? can u just cut the crap and let us train. whats the point of telling us all this like as though we dont know what will happen.

somomore we were sitting on the standing broad jump mat in the school gym, surrounded by all the ruggers doing their weights training. oh and i asked him for my napha test slip, and i got a bronze!!!! first time in my life i passed. ok not exactly a pass as in a silver, but still bronze is better than nil. standing broad jump...if they they cancelled such a station, life would be much easier to live by.

i am really scared for wednesday, where i have to go to hendon camp for the second army screening. i want to postpone it but the letter says i cant, and when i call the number printed on the letter, no one picks up the phone! its like they are forcing us to go on the day stated.

and during GP, when each group had to present, me raj sham and yaohui were the presenters. now now, ppl call us the mugger gang and it so happened that every member from it had to represent the diff groups for the presentation part. is the class bullying us or what?

Dance SYF Presentation night

2009-07-25T23:16:00.003+08:00

woo hoo! went to NUS UCC with timo last night to watch it, worth it for a $5 ticket concert :P

it started with MI for the opening. i didnt know the dancers were representating sea creatures moving on the seabed until timo told me... it was kind of amazing how the girls who were standing on some platform just bent backwards to arch the back and recovering from that by bending forward(not sure how to explain it but go youtube and watch it to know what i mean).

next was a indian dance with a thaipusam theme. instead of the guys carrying the prop representating the real-life big looking metal strucutre, it was the girls who were carrying it, weird right. but i liked the enrgy of the item.

i cant really rmb much of the rest of the dances but i personally felt that cat high's one was overrated. a bit of technique here and there but their steps were really simple i felt. no doubt it was slick but when the audience cheered them on excessively, i really felt that it was overrated. sorry but yea..

hwa chong's chinese dance is indeed remarkable. got concept.storyline. the dance got meaning. it was about a female poet from one of the dynasties. their dance all girls but still very nice

oh and in the toilet of ucc, before the concert started got 1 guy ask me if i got gel cos his hair in a mess, so random right?

another day as usual

2009-07-21T23:13:00.002+08:00

today school ended at 1pm actually since there was no geog which was at 1.30 as both the physical and human geog teachers werent around. legs are aching from yesterday. and i tried the 07 maths a level paper 1. surprisingly it was do-able. only question 9 was hard. really need to focus on bio now, i dont want to it drag my score down any longer. i cant wait for this fri, gonna watch syf dance presentation!

and i intend to postpone my hendon camp screening, got mock chem paper 2 on the day of the screening. actually i really dont know whether i should aim to become a commando or not, if i get selected i will be happy since i get to become a commando, but at the same time i am afraid that i might die during training. haix....

sad

2009-07-20T18:44:00.002+08:00

haix, i failed napha test today, because of standing broad, got 210 when passing mark needed was 222, so frustrating right? grrrr

anyway it seems like when i go hendon camp for the next army screening, i need to take napha again....

and today i went to buy the prelim rev package for maths, wah piang, its like i bought the maths 08 prelim papers for nth, waste money nia. but at least the prelim papers came with the answers. and we have to do srjc bt2 compre 2006 within a day...without aq at least

and i still got geog essay outline to do! that mr lian nvr told us which aspect of geog (human/physical) tut will each group have on the days for geog tut. haix

oh and ms yeo and ms liu didnt come to school today, hence we ended at 2! but i had to use the school gym to train for napha so ended up reach home about 4+.

University fair at suntec

2009-07-19T14:45:00.005+08:00

today i went to suntec city convention/concourse/exhibition hall, whatever its called for the university fair. it mainly features universities from overseas like america, austrlia and UK. interestingly, NUS and SPH was there as well. there was also the booth for scholarships by SAF. all the criteria for the SAF scholarships got put something that says qualify for officer cadet school. =.=

saw quite a few SAJC people like wei li, peng soon and ian. i also saw my pre u seminar group friend, bryan from HC, and he is a nice guy! stupid ian tried to bitch me but failed, haha, i got an invitation to the fair too! speaking of the invitation, it is written on it that to enter the fair one needs to bring the invitation. but it turns out that admission if free. so stupid right?

oh yea, and idiotic rajkumar sms me in the morning to say he lost the invitation, tsk tsk tsk. because of him i had to go alone

i took a lot of pamphlets and bought the career guide for $5, it even came with 2 folders and a bag, so good deal right :) oh and i did a survey which gave a free notebook and newspaper, hehe. and when ian told me earlier on about it i told him i wasnt a cheapskate, muahahahaha

dont really intend to study overseas actually, but i just went for the fair to enrich my mind. i also went to buy the tickets for the syf dance presentation night at esplanade.

lunch was subway and their plastic bag is super weird. today was the first time i takeaway from sybway and their plastic bag is weird. its narrow and long. i ate the chicken breast meat meal, lol budgeted meal. and the chicken is tasteless for goodness sake. =.=

sch ended at 1230!

2009-07-17T15:47:00.003+08:00

woohoo! today ended early, like for once in a long time. anyway i am so happy for my chemistry!!!! even though stupid mcq got 21/40, overall i pass!!!! i got a B ok, not bad alr. now left geog and gp. so far for my 3 H2s, the grade is the same as bt1

today during gp watched a film on north korea. i pity the people with the radio at home. i mean, how can 1 possibly listen to a radio non-stop?(u can lower the volume but cant turn it off, so sad right?) but the mass games are AWESOME. their flexibility and technique is jaw-dropping. sgreans are like so stiff compared to them, including me.haha. and kim jim yong(whatever his name is) didnt even attend the mass games for the year which filming took place, it think he just dont want to be filmed, so he ponned the mass games for that year. but i wonder why they call it mass games when its a performance and not even a competition. but i like the idea where so many students play a part in it, like some national event(but in actual fact i think it only consisted of those living in pyongyang)

but the film isnt realistic, pyongyang is the capital, thus its natural for it to look nice compared to the other states where poverty strifes. intellectuals, workers and peasants, the 3 classes in society. in school, the students are actually taught that the USA is a bad country that wishes to destroy north korea. haix...

lol maths lecture was hilarious, mr tAN went to show us how normal distribution is used for the bell curve. quite intelligent of cambridge to use it to determine the grades.haha. and i am below the mean for the height of guys, which is like 1.72 and i am just a few cm below it, so angry and sad :(

and i hope i pass my napha next week...

Motivation to study

2009-07-16T18:21:00.002+08:00

wakao, today i got a shock of my life. 21/40 for chem mcq. i admit i didnt really study for the paper cos i was tired of studying chem all over again after paper 3. i hope i will pass paper 2 and 3, dont wish to fail chem....must pass all subjects for bt2...

so it turned out that tmr got no academic planner for chem tmr and there is a new academic planner but yet my class didnt receive it. hopefully no h1 geog academic planner tmr.

BT2 results part 1

2009-07-15T17:39:00.002+08:00

ok got back bt2 results today for bio and maths. maths got A and bio got E. kind of surprised for maths, didnt think i would do that well, thought would get b. even if i got a A, i thought would be borderline A, but turned out that wasnt the case. quite relieved i passed bio, lucky i studied for paper 3, helped pushed my overall marks up. i got a E for gp paper 2, dont know about paper 1 yet.

and the class will split for future maths lessons and i wonder when we will ever finish syllabus. we are still at poisson tut and 4 more topics left. sth tells me i better not let stats consume me or i will be dead for prelims, not forgetting the actual a levels.

sgc! ok the thing is the word limit is too short for me and i want to get it done and over with.

so nice of my geog teacher mr. lian to make us do a essay outline for tut on plate tectonics, otherwise i will wonder when i will sit down and study the lithopheric processes.

STUDYING AFTER BT2

2009-07-12T22:37:00.002+08:00

life is so boring, studying for prelim after bt2 and then for a lvl after prelims. just read a bit on plate tectonics (geog). thats all i studied today =.=

i forgot i had flu ytd(hopefully not swine flu) and went jogging, felt that my stamina deproved a lot and i didnt know why. after which i realised i had yet to fully recover :) frighten myself for nothing, SO STUPID

and i need to retype sgc cos i didnt follow the template(and i want to). and 200 words for cip and cca category is too short, as in way too short...

hopefully i can pass my napha exam, taking a toll on my time and time is running fast away

outing with pj and timo to east coast park

2009-07-11T11:21:00.001+08:00

Today i went to east coast park with timo lum and pj after school. jie hong took a day to decide whether to come or not, in the end he backed out and he cant remember why.

sidetrack a bit, i rmbered yesterday ms du said during chem lect, all the sleeping beauty and beast, pls wake up....so stupid lah

In school, we edited our SGC draft and my goodness, i have so much to write and so little time. I am glad i joined dance, i have so much to write thanks to it, but i am also glad i joined the chemistry olympiad as well as the prestigious pre-uni seminar (where we played and played, hehe).

early in the morning timo sms me to say today's outing cancelled, but he never stated why, i wanted to kill him at that moment. but eventually his pain in the arm receded (not fully) so we dedcided to resume having the outing. PJ was nice enough to agree to study at east coast park just to look after our belongings (how to cycle with a bag?)

before meeting pj me and timo went to marine parade library where we met rahman, amazing right?

at marine parade got one girl from nafa selling some donation coupon, didnt like her yellow contacts. 10 dollars somemore. saw my sister esther and her friend, lol coincidence. pj shouted hi esther and later on my sis told me her friend who was with her said, is that your bro? sound so gay, LOL pj....

at east coast we cycled instead of the originally planned rollerblading. i enjoyed cycling with timo where we exchanged facts and gossip. and we even saw another sajc guy cycling there... ivan from 08s04..so random hor...and j2 vice-captain of sa canoeing team...randomness i tell u.

we also stopped at new zealand natural ice cream shop just to take a look. there was also a family of 4, father mum and 2 daughters there. my gosh the 2 girls cant make up their mind.

mum: can u hurry up, there are other people as well( me and timo)

timo: its ok we are just looking

mum: ok good keep looking cos they(her daughters) will take forever

haha bitchiness...

after cycling went back to macs and timo and pj bitched each other and i laugh non-stop. camwhored there, haha. got 1 pic i tried to act cute by looking sad, and both of them said, why u look so serious... what on earth...

for dinner ate subway. pj didnt want to but we managed to sort of convince him to, amazing right. i chose student meal...cold cut trio...thats like the only thing i ever ate from subway..haha. pj chose to add both chicken and tuna in his sandwich, who turned out to be bleah... it wasnt even chicken breast meat, it was chicken thigh wor. oh and when i when to collect my drink, it kind of overflowed... so embarrasing but i doubt anyone saw...i think...

after dinner we realised that beside subway was a steamboat buffet restaurant...freaking pissed and shocked i tell u.

oh yea and today was my sister's birthday (and yet i went out...) didnt buy anything for her the cake wasnt even cut, so angry i tell u, make me come back early for nothing.
