- Tioman!

Tioman!

Can't remember how I forgot to update after finishing that horrible AEL paper and also finishing off my exams with a chicken pie (AC)! The AEL paper was quite tricky and I guess everyone would have lost a few marks here and there, so no regrets. The AC paper was surprisingly just nice. I hope I can get an A! :D

Lot's of enjoying these few days as it's probably the only holidays we've got (if we consider working not holiday)! So tomorrow's the big day! Heading off to TIOMAN ISLAND! For a 4 day, 3 night trip - with snorkeling, trekking and lots of fun! Can't wait for tomorrow! I actually have to be in school by 6.30am, so I've to wake up at 5 (lucky my dad's fetching) and it's already 12 now! I have to wake up in 5 hours and I'm not even asleep yet! Yikes!

Can't possibly update so much stuff over the so many days I didn't post, so I'll skip right to the main point!

YEP! That's prolly pretty much everything thats on my mind now! The clear waters and sandy beaches of Tioman island! It's gonna be so much fun! I'll write about it when I'm back!!!

Good Luck for tomorrow's Exams! :)

The Night before AEL

Yep, one of those feelings you get the night before an exams. Not as intense as the one I used to have before all the O level papers though. I'm still slacking the whole day, too tired and lazy to study any more. Well then, I would owe it all to luck if I'm able to walk out of the exam hall tomorrow feeling a wee bit confident about getting that A. Ow man, I make myself feel like a poor thing. I guess that A is achievable if the MCQs don't get too tricky to even do! My exam starts at 9 and to save myself from being late, I'd probably have to wake up at 6am and get going. So as much as I should be going to bed right now, I am just NOT TIRED! I had a late night yesterday and went to sleep quite late (can't even remember what time I went to sleep). Woke up in the morning feeling like P Diddy, LOL joking, woke up at like 1pm! So I'm practically only awake for 10 hours now. Even if I just throw myself into bed, I still would roll around till like 1/2 am and then fall asleep. So I guessed I could do better things, Awake! Nothing too much on my brain now except for the formulas I need to remember for tomorrow. Still unsure for a few of them, but like all other times, I'll just go knocking on luck's door! :)

Hope I do well tomorrow! I shall wish myself all the best! And also to whoever else who visits my blog, for whatever it is they need the wishing of luck for! =)

Lag much?

I feel that my whole life is full of lag! Laggy connections, laggy devices and what not? I have been having only a 1mbps home internet which I'm unable to connect to sometimes for quite a while now. But even the most basic and cheapest broadband speeds offered by Starhub/Singtel are 3mbps. A friend told me that 1mbps really isn't enough, but what am I to do if my dad just doesn't want to get me new broadband? The next thing is laggy devices. My dad recently got an iPhone 4 and dumped his old iPhone 3 (3 mind you, not even 3GS) to me. Considering how laggy the iPhone 3 OS is, is already bad enough. To add to my misery, the phone is like 2 years old and the battery can barely last a day without turning on my 3G. With 3G on, the phone barely lasts an hour. So, I have to bring my charger everywhere and I have to use the phone less to conserve battery for the whole day if I'm going out. But I'm hoping to find a cheap iPhone charging battery pack to bring out everyday to charge my phone while I'm on the go. That won't solve the problem but I guess it will at least help by 0.00001%?

Guess I just have to live with it! Even my 4gig ram laptop lags like 90% of the time. Sigh. I guess in the future when I get a little faster stuff, I'll appreciate them to the max! :)

Losing Something More

So, after a full 3 hours of researching on how to lose weight and seeing how so many people have managed to do so after a long perseverance, I am now motivated to lose weight myself! This semester break holiday, I will stick to a strict diet and exercise regularly to drop that few kilos of my body, to feeling healthier! In my plan, I will stick to these few rules:

1) NO fast food AT ALL. Recently I have been eating lots of fast food in the form of KFC, Mac and what not. No more fast food means I'll have to eat slow food, which takes more time than fast food, to arrive to me. Hence, it will be cheaper! Allowing me to save money as well!

2) NO drinking gassy drinks! So, no more coke/pepsi for me. Water all the way! Maybe some non-gassy soft drinks like barley / lemon tea is still okay. But water is still the best! :)

3) EXERCISE E V E R Y D A Y! Yes, everyday after my exams I will exercise - go jogging. I've heard that exercising on an empty stomach (Just after waking up in the morning) burns the most calories as, when there is no food in the stomach the body automatically finds stored fats in our body to burn for energy. Although too much of this is harmful for the body, I'm sure there will be not much harm in doing it just for the 2 months!

4) LESSEN my rice intake. Rice contains lots of carbohydrates and is a big contributer to fats for many people in Asia since it's our staple food source! Hence, I shall reduce eating rice alot! And if possible, even avoid eating rice totally! (I'm already doing this currently! It has help me already lose the 5kg that I've gained in China!)

And also many other things that can help me in being motivated and focused on my goal! As people say, it's all in the mind. If you have the right mindset and motivation, you can do anything without excuses! So it's time to get on that weighing machine of mine and LOSE BIG!

Electronics & Electrical

I don't know what I did to get myself into these complicated stuff, but since I'm already there, might as well study. Electricity (AC Circuits) is not that bad, quite easy to pick up. The pain in the a** is Electronics ( AEL ). Yes, everyone knows that! But today I actually tried to do some AEL questions and got them right!! Feel so accomplished! [Haha joking!] But was really happy to find out that we didn't need to learn the hardest topic in AEL! Not actually didn't need to learn, but what I mean is that MOSFET only appears as one question in Section C of the exam paper and there are three questions in Section C, and we only have to do two! Proof that I actually did study [For self comforting!]:

So yeah! That's my table and I'm DOING AEL! hahaha! Like the first time since forever! So yeah ok, there's nothing more interesting to write about AEL so I shall stop here!

Talking along the same lines as E and E, I just handed in my final assignment for EEPS! The circuit was connected to a battery pack and a speaker:

That's the inside of the circuit. And now for the spectacular outside pics! =D

Cute isn't it! With Spongebob and Ben 10! It even has a cape behind! :D Now, the cool thing about this thing I made, which makes it different from everyone else's is that theres this flap at the side (you see it on the Spongebob pic). Now this flap actually opens up to the volume control. But I put the stick infront of the Play button (which is supposed to let the sound begin) quite close to the switch on the circuit and so every time the circuit moves a little, the sound begins. So since the moving the volume button would move the whole circuit, the flap, when closed and when pressed can actually trigger the sound! HOW COOL IS THAT?! Okay not very, but it was really amusing while it lasted! Sometimes the sound would just turn on when I shake the box! hahahah! Now that's cool! Okay Okay, not as cool as Crumpler bags! But still! :]

Going swimming @ Jurong east tomorrow! Somewhat of a break from the "studying"! hahah! I could actually do without a break [Was slacking while studying! :P] but a break is always good! Right? Right? Aww shucks!

Childhood memories and Kinect

Kinect! Probably the most fun thing I've played this year yet! Went to Bohui's house to study / play XBOX Kinect. It's like a Wii, moving on the spot, but without the Wii! Hands free and controller free playing of minigames! hahaha! Super fun while it lasted. Even got to do a real-life audition, where we danced to mimic the on-screen movements! Ended up not studying as much as we would have expected to, but I guess that was really really very expected much? >:(

So I came home, ate dinner, turned on my laptop and onto facebook, like any other normal day and I see this post by one of my friends, sharing a blog. Well, being the wonderful person that I am, I will help to promote his blog, whoever he is and I will explain why.

Here's the link firstly: Some Things I Remember From The 90s

OK, now the awesome thing about this blog that this random guy has written is that it ACTUALLY really sums up my (and whoever else is born after 1990) whole childhood. Not only that, it seems to be that almost EVERYONE of those born after 1990 has experienced almost 99% of those stuff written there on the blog. May it be the food we ate, the things we did/played with, the times we spent together knowing one another and not forgetting, the priceless, TRUE FRIENDSHIP that we used to share with each other as such young kids. And since almost everyone has almost somewhat of the same childhood memory, you can actually really recover long lost memories that you may have been searching for, for a long time! NOW AIN'T THAT AWESOME?!

Honestly, my Kudos to Jeremy Sng (I guess that's his name from the blog site's address) for creating such a splendid blog which is now in progress of circling all around facebook, giving everyone who reads it 10-20minutes or maybe even longer, of re-living their childhood inside their minds itself. Even writing this post for me now is coming so naturally from my mind, so I guess the creativity of being children has come back and hit me for this period of time till I get distracted by the other more advanced things in life nowadays.

Still couldn't thank him enough. Really really hats off to him. To everyone: Please read the blog! If not your anyone, do it for that little kid inside of you which is still hiding in the dark and will still be, but with a little light shining upon him to give you the little more motivation you need to do whatever it is that you need motivation for! [For my case, it's studying for exams! =D]

One too many

The long holidays of the CNY weeks and slacking weeks just came to an end yesterday. From today onwards, it's time to start studying more and playing less. 6 Days since my last post, lots has happened, some of which I have even forgotten by now.

A group of us went for CNY visiting on the 12th. Ryan, Desmond, Kl, Zac, Sienna, Bohui and me. We started of at Ryan's house. I didn't know about the Chinese tradition of bringing two oranges whenever you visit someone's house so I hadn't brought any to his house. We had lunch (steamboat - My first in Singapore) after buying some groceries from Cold Storage at the mall just beside his house. I tried many new things for the first time and I think everything tasted good. We played with Ryan's dog [Burger] alot! He was very cute and had fluffy white hair, lots of them, all around his body. It's breed was 'shih tzu', so it was living up to it's breed by being super lazy and dumb! Ryan would bully it so much by kicking it (poor dog!). Burger was also very stupid as when Ryan fake threw a ball, it would run far away looking for it. SO CUTE! Hahaha! Very fun to play! After the filling steamboat, we went to Rachel's house where there were more dogs to play with! I got to see Fluffy again (Rachel's dog). She was super skinny since I last saw her! She actually, really lost weight. [Omg, even I can't do that!!] We ate the ice cream that we brought from Ryan's house, which we bought from the supermarket, along with the groceries, at her house. Rum and Raisins and Cookies and Cream, WITH FERRERO ROCHER! Tasted not too bad, But I still prefer the original taste of the chocolate on it's own! Too irresistible. You just keep wanting more! After Rachel's house we went all the way to Jurong to Khayleng's house. By the time we reached, it was already around 7 so we had to leave soon to not be too late for the last house, Zac's. We sat and turned on to HBO and Transformers 2 was on. All of us kept on watching and didn't notice as time flew and it was almost 8 already! We quickly made a move to go to Zac's house where we were to have another steamboat for dinner. All of us were still full after the earlier steamboat, but still ate again! After some time, we left (it was close to 10 already) for home! My first time going on visiting was a success! Hahaha! Enjoyed the time with my friends, visiting their houses, eating good food and of course, collecting some money!

The next day, we were back at Ryan's house again, but this time to study! Rachel, Bohui, Sienna and I were there! I studied AEL, while the rest of them studied maths. I tried to teach them some EG2 questions which they didn't know how to solve, but even I had forgotten how to do some of them. Ryan said the day before that he wanted to really concentrate on studying today but in the end, we ended up playing much more than compared to studying! [As usual!]. After Bohui left at like 5pm, we all started making chocolate that Sienna had brought to make for him for the next day (Valentines Day). So we spent the rest of the evening making creative stuff for him and for ourselves to eat as well! :)

VALENTINES DAY! Nothing special for me as yet, but finally some friends to celebrate it with, just hanging out, catching a movie and having lunch / dinner! :) Skipped AEL lecture today, as it was the only lesson the whole day, and went out with Rachel, Ryan and Minghao to Bugis. Rachel left before the movie to go with her friend for a 'date' so it left the 3 of us guys gaying on Valentines day in a movie! =D The movie we watched was quite nice, Just Go With It. A comedy movie, as we would know when Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston come together. Laughed throughout the movie! So much so that I couldn't laugh anymore when I had to pee so bad and I tried so hard to resist till the end of the movie. Around 15minutes before the movie ended, I couldn't take it anymore and ran to the toilet! [I hate to miss parts of a movie!] Haha! After the movie was over, we walked over to Sim Lim Towers as Minghao wanted to get his Blackberry changed to a red cover. Then, we walked back to Bugis Juntion, and that's when Ryan got hit by his PMS mood of Boredness, Tiredness and Want-To-Go-Homeness. So, we decided to eat dinner, at Ajisen Ramen. [My first time eating here in Singapore (Ate it in China)] After that, we tried hard to get Ryan to not want to go home so early, but I guess he was sad at the fact that he doesn't have a date on Valentines? Hahah! So we went home, and I had spent like $50 on the whole day. Way tooooo much! :(

The next day was another day out for us! I had organised an outing for Zac and Minghao's belated Birthday [1st Feb] and we went to eat Hei Sushi buffet, at Sembawang. We went there instead of Sakae as Asyraf was coming also and Sakae isn't Halal! After the buffet, which I felt not quite worth it, we went to Daiso to buy some stuff for our EEPS Mini Project. After that, we were all short on ideas of what to do, so decided to go back home. Just as we entered the MRT, an idea struck upon us to go to the Town! We got off at the next stop and Sienna called Bohui to come over. [As he was going on a different direction, back to CCK] So we went to Orchard Central to Window Shop at Armani, Zara and what not. Most of the fun came after we went to drink Starbucks! Which really woke all of us up.

COFFEE MAKES YOU HYPER!

So we went around walking to different malls in Orchard like Paragon and then went back to Far East Plaza to eat at some Hong Kong cafe. The noodles there were quite nice tasting IMO. And the milk tea? OH so heavenly.. I'm definitely going back there, if not for the noodles, then the MILK TEA! It really reminds me of the awesome milk tea back in China! After dinner, we were just about to go back again, when we got another idea, to go play pool! So we walked down to Lucky Plaza and played pool for an hour or so, till around 9.30pm! Yeah it was that late! We called it the "Last day of playing, before we start studying for exams!" as our exams are in a week or so.

I really enjoyed this past few days, which have been full of activity, and also spending LOTS of money. [Gosh, I need to start saving up again!] Woah, this whole post looks like a freaking essay! So long! [Gosh Again!]. That's all right because I like the way it hurts! Hahah!

Torres

Talk about losing my stuff, [my blog name; if some of you didn't notice] Liverpool recently lost a important key player of our squad. That's none either than Fernando Asshole Torres. Yep, he just moved his ass for 50 f**king million to Chelsea. I mean just look at his face in the picture I just posted. He looks like a freaking John Terry. HAHAHAH! Hopes his wife gets it by Terry! Anyway, to add to his shame, Liverpool whooped Chelsea's ass 1-0 when Liverpool went to Stamford Bridge just a few days after Torres was sold. And the most amazing part of this was that Torres was playing! :) Kudos to Agger for elbowing Torres in the face to block him a chance to move forward and also to Carragher for blocking his 'so-called-shot'. Hopes he just rots there like a bench warmer! :) Or, fail just as he did in Liverpool. You Torres, have this whole of today's post dedicated to you for betraying the club that gave you so much respect for who you are and what you do, and cheer you on even when you're down. You, do this to them, you have no heart.

No doubt, I'll still support him when he plays for Spain, but never when he's in blue.

Cya Torres,

Longevity

This IS an UPDATE after like what? 1 year and a few days! Never really bothered to blog since I started work [Oh ya, did I mention that I got a job?] I had this part time job in march, promoting bicycles. Before that, I worked 2 days giving out flyers for Beijing 101. I found out that giving out flyers standing for 10 hours straight was not my cup of tea. So I went over to promote bicycles at Aleoca, which is a part of Giant. Went to the Tampines Giant everyday [lucky got shuttle bus! free ride!]. I worked only like around 20 days out of the month and then stopped working as poly was to start in mid April and I had met my classmates-to-be on facebook! So, I earned 800bucks from the Bikes and 100 from the Flyers and went off to party with the peeps at Tanjong Pagar [LOL] and of course Sentosa! (: {I still remember our lost BBQ sauce! T.T}.

After those, of course, came poly life! Really fun at the start! Went to play pool with the 'clique' almost every dayy! Sienna, Bohui, Ryan, Khayleng, Rachel! Those were the days mann! :) I really miss those days now. School's getting so boring nowadays. I think it's just because of AEL, or is it just me? Nevermind that. One semester passed in my first semester of poly [Does that sound right?]. Did quite well for my GPA in the first sem despite having ELTECH and ENGMEC pressing down on my neck as I tried to score. I feel that those 2 are so easy compared to AEL.

Woah, who was to know I'd ever go to China? Yes, CHINA. Went there for a month or so with my poly to finish up 2 modules. I chose to do maths {EM3} there. Everyday was just filled with fun! So here's how it goes: Morning lessons from 8-12, 1 hour lunch break, afternoon lessons from 1-4, PARTAYEEEE! Nah, just kidding. Well the first 3 are correct, just the last one becomes "Going out everyday shopping our asses off!" Oh my!!! What fun we had. And the temperature was just super cooling. Waking up in the morning for lessons was the hardest thing to do. 100% due to the nice cool temperature in the morning and the feeling of snuggling under the warm blanket just keeps me sleeping all the time! Until, of course, we have the 'alarm clock'. That was not a phone ringing, but actually a routine of playing all of the SNSD songs loud [Thanks to Hazhari]! That would wake everyone up and they always would come over to watch the plastic faces [Sorry I just don't see how beautiful can be applied to fake faces]. Anyway! All these stuff is still belittling compared to the amount of fun we had there! (: Of course, writing everything out would be like doing a replica of the Journal that I did there, so I'm not gonna do that again! haha!

China was fun! I miss Chinaaa! [Is this a new paragraph already? Dang.. :( I guess I MISS CHINA too much to stop rattling on about it!]

Noww, back to this new year, OH, Happy New Year 2011! Yeah, I feel so happy this new year, being a year closer to dying in 2012 [If that's true. I doubt it.] Was halfway through the second sem in the beginning of January and now already coming to the end of the sem, with just a little more than one week to go. Exams are in 15 odd days and I'm still clueless about AEL. [God save me!] Yea, god is coming to save me. God in the form of LTP. Gonna attend both the AEL remedials conducted by him and pay loads of attention! [Boy, I better stock up on some attention]. Anyway! It's 2am now and I actually have to get up at 9am. Going school to study for [oh dammit] AEL quiz which I'm having at 12. Hopefully I can go to school at 11 and try to at least study some of the quiz's contents, which I highly doubt will even be caught as a glimpse in my repulsive, anti-AEL brain. Still! I will try to study! Hopefully I can go all out after next week and study for the Exams [Again, I highly doubt it].

Hahah! I doubt that i'll be able to do anything that I say! [about studying ONLY!] Damn, I need help! (: Oh well, Gotta catch some sleep! Shall continue ranting tomorrow!

Clean Energy!

Yeah, I got into my first choice, Clean Energy Management @ Ngee Ann Polytechnic, together with Sutian and Darren. Haven't written for quite a few days already. That I call a break. A break where I did nothing much except rot @ home infront of my com. I already filled in the Starbucks job application form and gave it to them, but they haven't called me since. Played tennis for the first time on Monday. Because I was tall, I found it easier to serve, rather than return. Suprisingly, me and Minren were "Better" than Sutian at playing. We were both first timers, while he had played Tennis before.. Haha..

I'm still confused.. Do I need to do anything, now that I know i'm going to NP? Cos like, the JC students have to report to school tomorrow I think. Do we need to go anywhere? Hmm.. Redundant question, cos like no one visits my blog. :O Haha. Doesn't matter. I'll find out soon enough. :)

First step forward

I'm going to pick up an application to work in Starbucks from Parkway tomorrow. Hopefully, I get a part time job to last me around 2 months.. Though my toe and ankle still hurts, I'm still going to play tennis tomorrow.. Hope it doesn't worsen too much.. I just hate injuries during holidays.. Urgh! Went to dad's friend's place [Chaitali's house] for dinner tonight. Kind of a get together party.. Haha. Spam pani puri!!! Yum.. :P

New Injury

Ankle was just getting better when I hit my left leg against the sofa on my way to go to sleep. My small toe got all the impact. It was super painful. I was like jumping around for 15minutes cos it was super pain.. It was so unbearable that I was almost gasping for breath. After I stabilized, I immediately iced it, but to no avail. It is still super pain now. It has not even reduced a bit! It's difficult to walk with a toe like this. When I put weight on it, I feel the sharp pain in my toe, which is unbearable.

Anyway, went out today with Guju school sec 4 2009. We went to school earlier an hour and waited for cher. After school we went for lunch nearby and talked with cher alot. After that it took us almost an hour what to do next. Cher suggested we go out together as it's been a long time since we all met up, and even so now, since most of them are going to JC and I'm not, so I'll get to see them not much now. We decided to go watch a movie. But, what movie was the question. After much time, we decided to watch the movie, "It's complicated", which is a NC16 movie. First time watching a NC16 movie for me after I turned 16. Might be partly because I didn't have the time to catch a movie after my birthday due to the Prelims and O's drawing nearer. The movie review? The movie was kinda stupid and pointless. Though some comedy at some parts (Duh, It's expected of the movie) but I felt it was a waste of 10 bucks. Movie was till 6pm and went home after that. When I reached home, I was super sad to find that my crystal casing of my w995 which I has just bought 2 days ago had already broken!!! Such a waste of $4. I feel like going over to the shop from which I bought the casing and flaming the shopkeeper. I'm thinking of spending another $4 on buying a new one as I just only bought the phone and so quickly, the cover is broken..? Feels so wasted la.. *Sigh*

I was just in time on writing this blog entry, haha! I looked at the clock and it read 11.45pm. I went straight away to this page and started typing. The post would register the time 11.45pm, not the time that I've finished writing this entry, which is around 12.05am the next day already! Haha! Today's entry was kinda long, wasn't it? It could have been longer if I had added more details! :D But, I guess it's okay. Good night!

Aggravating Pain?

Don't know what I was thinking when I went to play soccer today, haha. Ankle really hurts when kicking the ball with my right leg. Got to train my left leg much! My left leg too noob and week.. Rofl.. Hope my ankle heals very soon. Going to play tennis on monday. I don't know why, since June this year, I've had a sudden craze for tennis. I feel like I can learn it well and also master it. Even so, I don't think its that easy. We'll see on monday. Erm, nothing much left really. Mann, boring days, for the blog I mean. Otherwise, my daily life is kind of a little more action packed than these words on my blog. You see, I'm noob in English, cos I can't express myself in words that well. WOHO! But hey, I still got a B3!!! Zomg!

First Move

Uh yes, first form of exercise after I sprained my ankle last sunday. Went to play badminton today with Darren, Justin & Min Ren @ the Tampines sports complex. Playing with a sprained ankle, which wasn't just completely healed yet, surely disabled me from running or jumping.. But, more of a workout than it was winning or losing.. Darren booked the court for 1 hour, but we ended up playing for 2 hours. The receptionist had to personally come to the court to invite us to go away! ROFL. Haha. We quickly ran out of the complex. Then, we decided to go to KFC for lunch. I tried to persuade Darren to come, but to no avail.

I'm busy right now.

My New Phone!

Yup, you saw it right. I got a new phone. Nothing wrong with my N95 though. My new phone is a Sony Ericsson w995. Here's what it looks like.. :D

Nice isn't it? =) Not bad though. Only problem is that I have to get used to the spacebar button being # instead of 0 in Nokia. Will get used to it.. :) My dad brought it home last night at around 12am. I let it charge till 3am and then started looking through all the stuff in the phone, from the setting to the games and applications. Then finally, went to sleep at 4am. Woke up at about 10am and started on the phone again. This time, connected it to the desktop and transferred songs, themes and wallpapers. Went to get a screen protector and a crystal casing this evening to protect the phone of course.. :D Feels so uncomfortable using the phone.. Not used to the buttons, as well as the fear of spoiling it on the first day. I can use my N95 like no one's business, but I don't know why, my natural instincts give care for the new phone. I guess everyone's like that.. Or are they?

Whole day almost spent on figuring out content in my phone. The only thing is that youtube videos aren't able to play the phone and applications which require internet connection don't work without mobile internet. Don't want to be using that, causing a heavy bomb in my bill. WiFi works only for browsing, but not for those applications, eg. eBuddy, Facebook & YouTube applications. Facebook and eBuddy can still be accessed by the browser, but YouTube can't!!!! *Grief* Ah well, doesn't really mater when I've got a computer infront of me for now till poly starts and probably a laptop everywhere I go when poly starts. :)

My ankle has shown no signs of improvement since yesterday, but I still went out to cycle today. Cycled to Bedok Interchange to get my phone's protector and cover. Didn't really feel the pain, but I guess it only affects me when my ankle is in certain positions. Wanted to go for badminton tomorrow, but don't know if it will come through as there is no preparation done at all.

Anyway, still happy with my new phone. Now customizing it to fit my liking.. xD

Bored!!!

All the right moves in all the right faces.. So yeah, we're going down! Crazy about that song one might say. It's One Republic's new song: All the Right Moves. Just downloaded it yesterday. Kind of liked it. Haha :)

Rawr, bored the whole day today. Good news is that my ankle is healing. It's been a lot better then it was yesterday. I could barely walk yesterday. I can walk now though. Guess I'll still have to take care of it for a day or two more for it to fully recover. Hmm, where do I begin? My day ended just before it had started. Typical day @ home doing absolutely "NOTHING". Woke up around 10am and was happy how much my ankle had healed :] Still a little pain though. Got onto the com until now. Bored and Bored. No one to talk to, no one to respond to.. How I wish I could say yes to Darren's offer to come and play soccer tomorrow. Guess I'll just have to be patient and wait.. =) To make matter's worse, my internet had broke down from 7pm till now. Sucks even more, trying to load a page and it ends up taking 10 minutes to give you a page showing that it is not able to load it. I got a funny pic to show lol.. Just click on it to Enlarge it so that you can see it. =D

Haha. I call it, Firefox - PWNT n OWNED! Roflmao. xDD

Good laugh. Now I'm off. This is so embarrassing. Hahaha! LOL.

Back to blogging!

After quite a number of months, I'm back to blogging! :D Wow, it's really been a long time. The last post I wrote was when I was studying for my prelims back in September last year. Now, it's already past the real O's and even went for my holidays in India, came back already and even got my results.

Detailed results:

Subject

English -> B3
Guju (MT) -> B3
Combined Humans -> B3
E Maths -> A1!!
Chemistry-> A1!!
Physics -> A2...
A Maths-> A2...

L1R5 = 12-1 = 11
L1R4 = 9-1 = 8

Well, I was unsatisfied and felt so down when I received my results, cos I wanted 10 and below. The next day, I felt better and more satisfied after some of my friends and my dad assured me that this result was very good. After that, I was quite impressed and proud of my English and Humans score. Didn't expect to do so good. (: Physics and A maths should have been a one. Now I've already sent my JAE application. Here are my first 2 choices (Don't need more, cos I'd surely go in to the first, if not second choice. xD):

1st: Clean Energy Management [Ngee Ann Poly]
2nd: Tampines Junior College [Science]

Hmm.. Poly over JC. HAHA! 3 months to go for poly to start. Trying to find some work, when this stupid ankle had to sprain. I'm still finding a job! If anyone has any recommendations please do inform me! :) Thanks.

Anyway, can't think of more to write, so that will be it for today. :D Welcome back to blogging to myself.

O9 O9 O9

Yeap It's here once again. The three same numbers resembling the date, month and year. 9 September 2009. Actually started studying for my prelims today. What a nice day to start.. =) LOL. Started with Physics. Only managed to cover around 3 books of notes, probably around 3/4 of Sec 3 work. Better than nothing. Haha. My mum "stole" my modem in the morning to make sure that I study and said that I might get it back after I "prove" that I have studied. Though had lots of interruptions inbetween studying and plenty of "breaks" like walking around and finding stuff to eat.. Haha.. I was really super bored and got fidgety after awhile of studying and slipped into partial consciousness and did random stuff like throwing things around without even realising and when I suddenly "regained" consciousness I felt stupid at what I was doing. Haha. Super boring.. Now I know how Suti felt studying the whole day.. LOL.. Ah well, it's getting late and I sure am quite tired. Need to catch some rest I guess. Haha.

Gtg for now.

MT Prelim

I had my MT prelims just earlier. I actually copied what I had written for my English essay in my MT essay, but the problem was that I could not actually translate wholesale what I had written. Or rather, I did not know how to. Anyway, my MT isn't that good either. I know I'm bad at languages. Nevermind that.

I wonder what everyone did for Chemistry today. (Not needed. They did Isomers for sure..) But I don't know what 'else' they did, perhaps go through the test. (Oh crap, they got back their tests and I haven't.. Nooo...) Anyway, going for chem on Monday at noon. Not sure what I would be doing though. I better go read up Isomers in my textbook just in case I get thrown questions and I stumble upon them.

Anyways, saddened that there are no EPL games today due to International friendlies and World Cup qualifiers. Not really interested in those. Only interested in the real thing: The World Cup 2010 - coming up next year. Back to EPL next week and Liverpool takes on Burnley at Anfield. Yossi Benayoun said earlier this week that if Liverpool is to lose one more game, the title challenge is over. I personally don't think so. I think that even though they lose 1 more game, all they need is to keep winning and prevent the exasperating draws that deprived them of the title last year. Without Xabi Alonso, whom has undoubtedly left a big gap in Liverpool's Midfield which could be sufficed by Aquilani, it IS hard for Liverpool. With the counter attacking threat that his long passes pose. It was definately easier to win games. Well, people come and people go. It's just part of professional football. Good Luck to Liverpool!

Gtg for now.

English Prelim

Back home after the more than dreaded English Prelims. I did use some of the vocabulary that I've learnt like "Exasperated" and.. and that's all I guess. Haha. Better than nothing though. I did the essay topic, "Write about a time when you were persuaded to take part in an event which many people enjoyed" or something like that. I'm not too sure if I had put any emphasis on the "people enjoyed" part though. I wrote about a friend persuading me into playing for the class in an inter-class soccer competition and the crowd (referred to as the 'many people') at the stadium where we were playing at. One of the better essays I have written in my opinion. Let's see how far my essay goes in terms of marks. I bulldozed through the situational writing as I was completely drenched of ideas after thinking a fair bit while writing the essay. I was too tired to continue but nonetheless, finished the situational writing in the nick of time, a minute before the time to stop. This deprived me the chance to check my work once again. Left the Hall feeling rather awkward. Came back into the Hall to be welcomed by a tough paper 2. Comprehension was challenging but that's not the worst part. The summary was a killer! No idea how to do it. Whether to include the points I or not? I was afraid that my points may be out of point and not answering the question. In the end, just like my situational writing, I managed to finish it but hadn't put in much effort. I probably need more practice, which I am lazy to do. Sigh..

Later, already on the bus on the way home with Su Tian, Bryan called to ask where we were saying that they were receiving the SS test we had done a few weeks ago. Lol. It's okay. I don't bother either. I mean, it's only just SS.. =)

Anyway, need to study for my MT prelim tomorrow. *GOSH, 2 language exams in a day. This is killing me!!* Ah well, no choice. Sometimes in life, you just don't have a choice. Live with it.

-Let's not fret. We'll be together till death does us apart.

The Day Before my Prelims

Though I'm guessing this is a little too late, better late then never. Well, never doesn't seem to be the right word I should be using. Perchance something else as I have blogged before in a bid to improve my English for my impending O Levels. Haha. This is what I have to say:

"Hey English, I'm just a little too not over you."

Anyway, in school today I was half asleep during all the lessons and felt quite worried that my Prelims and O's are just around the corner and I feel that I have not put in enough effort in preparing for them. E-maths was a bore, getting scolded for doing something I didn't do and him letting me go after school, after he had realised the mistake I made was a minor one. I was exasperated during Geography, hoping to be able to elude questions asked by the teacher as I had not done my homework. I was doing the chem exercise paper which was supposed to be handed in today but for some reason, we had no time and are to hand it in on Saturday. I'm not even able to make in on Saturday as I have my MT Prelim exam colliding with it. After recess, I had ENGLISH! Not something to be excited for though, as I loathe my English lesson. It's boring and my class usually does not get work done (All are Lazy) and thus, no way to learn and improve either. How I wish I could just crucify English. Haha! I emerged out of English looking dejected to only know I had chem and we were getting back the test we took a week ago. I was bemused to find out that I had gotten the first MCQ question wrong. That's like the simplest question one could ever get. Free two marks to anyone if it were to appear in the O Levels. I'm guessing I'm the only one who got it wrong in the whole cohort. Give it to a Secondary one student and he too probably might get it right.

Well, off to read Harry Potter to probably get some final minute feel of how to go about writing Narratives, something i'm about to try for the first time. Well, I can just hope all goes well tomorrow.

Till then, once again,

Chemistry SPA.

I had Chemistry SPA (Practical) exam today. It was counted in O levels. I'm not sure whether this is the last SPA for the O Levels but some people said it is. Ah well, we had to do this "wheel of thoughts" for this SPA about corrosion of a limestone building by acid rain. Had to determine concentration by total loss of mass. I don't think I want to dwell on it much more. School was supposed to end at 12.40pm today. Either Mr. Tan wasn't aware of that, or he had forgotten. We continued doing the practical and writing stuff until around 1.40pm. Wow, an hour of delay. Well, if it's the last SPA, I wouldn't mind spending more time to finish it nicely and then hand it in.

As I made by way to chem, I walked past 4G classroom. The goalkeeper yesterday was shouting at me that my goal was a lucky goal and stuff. Actually, I don't see why they need to say that. It's not as if my goal was of any use. They still won. Sort of like a consolation goal of some kind. I didn't really care. Anyways,

3-2 We Lost.

It was a tough game. Desmund from the opposing team could take on a few of us and score anytime. Luckily, we managed to stop him at a few occasions to deny him from scoring. Not for long though, he still scored one goal in the first half. I was trembling and not so stable in the first half. When I got the ball, I panicked and couldn't clear it in time and got intercepted. Luckily, it didn't convert into a goal. If it did, I would regret so much. Rifat scored a few minutes after they scored to equalize the score at 1-1. Just before half time, they had a free kick just outside the penalty box which was flung straight into the top center of the goal to bring the score to 2-1. Desmund had to leave a few minutes into the second half, and after some "team-talk" we went back to play the second half. Everyone was encouraging each other and telling them to clear the ball when in possession of it. Later on, Bryan accidentally passed the ball back to our keeper, Yang Shun and started shouting "Don't pick up! Don't pick up!" but to no avail, Yang Shun, being unsure about the backpass rule, picked up the ball with his hands, leading to a controversial indirect free kick inside the 6-yard-box. All 11 of us stood on the goal line and defended. The ball deflected off a few people and landed in the back of the net. Unlucky us. Later on, 5 minutes left on the clock and 3-1 down, I rushed up to help attack. Ran straight to the left flank where Farhan(I) was struggling to get through in between two defenders. I called for the ball. He passed back to me, and I took a cross. What looked like it was going out of play for a goal kick kind of cross was unintentionally a shot on target and a... a... GOAL!! It came unexpectedly. Nobody expected it to be a goal from what was supposedly a cross and looked like it was going out, not even me. I was stunned. I was like "OMG, that that ball just go into the goal?!?!" LOL. Then Farhan(I) came running to me while I was still stunned and he was shouting and screaming. What a goal. Hey hey, that shot was way further out than Torres's shot in a similar angle that ended up at the back of the net. Well, the 4G goalkeeper isn't as good as Liverpool's opposition goalkeeper that time but hey, I'm not Torres either =). Haha. I felt so great despite losing. I felt as if it was a fun workout for an hour or so.

Though I didn't get to play my preferred position, midfielder, I make full use of the five minutes that I was actually "attacking". As the saying goes:

It's not how much time you have on the ball that provide goals, but it's what you do in those time that you have the ball that lead to chances. [Credits to myself for making it up. -_-. It really makes sense though]

Oh my, Its late already. Need to sleep. So tired.

Inter-Class Soccer Tomorrow!

Tomorrow we're having an inter-class soccer tournament and I have been chosen to play for my class. We're up against lack-of-players 4G, but we too will be missing our goalkeeper Suti. His mum doesn't allow him to go. [His mom doesn't allow him to do anything..] I have been assigned to play as a defender. I personally would prefer to play in the midfield so that I would be able to attack too or at least defensive midfielder. I'll have to see tomorrow. Not too sure if it clashes with my tuition as my tuition is supposedly on Thursdays. May have to get it re-scheduled. The match is around 30 minutes per half and includes a 15 minute break in between I believe, as that was what Darren told me. Hope there would be someone who take take over my center-back position so that I can go into midfield and help the strikers, supposedly the position I'd love to play.

Today in school had Chem, Physics and English lessons. New stuff again for chem of course. Wasn't really paying attention in physics. Got too carried away with playing with the 3-pin plug and poking Shanon with the screw-driver [Man.. I'm bad. Sorry Shanon ^_^] Had a mock test Paper 1 during English. That was unexpected and to make matters worse, I went to class, or rather, almost everyone went to class late. I had so little time to do both the situational and the Compo. Did the situational anyhow as I was short of time and I was quite impressed how nicely I wrote my essay about "Challenges". Didn't do what I planned to today too though. Soccer tomorrow, so its a skip. I guess I'll do it when I feel like it =).

1st Day of Truncated

What a hectic first day of truncated. Came to school and found out that there were 2 pieces of homework that I had not done!! I was completely taken aback. I had totally forgotten about Chemistry and E-Maths homework. I rushed to try and find my table which could be anywhere in the class as the tables were all jumbled up after last week's parent-teacher meeting. In the end, I didn't manage to find my table and went to next door to 4F go get a table. When I returned, I found out that Shanon was the one who "stole" my table. LOL. Dam him =(. I started rushing to do Chemistry and suddenly, Darren came to tell me that E Maths was the first period. I got too panicky and didn't know how to do E maths when I started doing it. Mr V. Tan soon came in and started checking for those who didn't do his homework and as usual, I had to stay back after school to complete it. Luckily, there was SS period before Chemistry where I was able to complete it. Learnt Organic Chemistry today. Seems 'Quite' manageable until now. Well, tomorrow there's Chem again on the first period. More grinding my head coming up =(. Sorry, missed the block about SS because I wasn't listening to what the teacher was saying =). After school, went for half an hour to complete E maths and then go home.

At home, played Restaurant City the whole day. =.= I'm really broke in there. Haha. Anyway, the important thing is that my plans of studying this first two weeks has an awful beginning with me not even studying on the first day. Hope to study a little or at least read tomorrow. That is my expectation of tomorrow. Let's see if it comes true.

Noo.. I don't want go school tomorrow!

Man. Truncated is starting tomorrow, and I don't feel like going back to school for "Chem", "E-maths" and "SS !!@#@!". Okay with chem and e maths, but SS??!! I hate social studies xP. One and a half hours of it might just kill me due to boredom =X. I shall bring Suti to sit beside be and we shall play the SS period out. LOL. Mrs Poh is sure to scold me. *Sigh* I should be ready to study this June Holiday to catch up with the work that I've not been paying attention to. Hope to concentrate on my studies as it's the last stretch that I have to go all out for and after that is all slack :)

Had tuition today from 12pm to around 2pm plus. Ate lunch before tuition so that I could go for soccer straight after tuition. Played soccer for around 2 hours to around 4pm. Darren, Benjamin, Suti and me went to 7-11 after that. Darren and Benjamin wanted to waste money, so they bought Pink Dolphin, which cost $1.45 for 500ml, while Suti and I decided to save money and topped up $1.30 each for a 1.5 Litre bottle of FnN Orange. Thus, we each got around 750ml for $1.30. 15 Cents less and 250ml more xP. Went home after that and sit at com till now.

Noo, I keep feeling bored everytime I think about going to school tomorrow. Guess I have to take it as it comes.

Close Shave

Went for cycling earlier on a bicycle my father just bought. Hadn't cycled since a few months ago. Almost "killed" one people, and myself. LOL. It was really scary. Well, I don't blame them for not seeing me coming but at least they should look left and right before walking out onto the pavement and straight when I was coming perpendicular to him. Well luckily, he stopped as I tried to rush past him. If not, I wouldn't be writing this now. Would be at the hospital or stuff =X. Phew. Haha. Later, cycling from behind this mum with a pram, squeezed through the small path left. Then, the bicycle wheel twisted and got fell off the path, onto the grass. I steered left, but to no avail crashed to the ground. Luckily, on grass, if not I won't be writing this too.. Wow. Quite a day.

Football news, today, the two blues, Chelsea and Everton fight it out for the FA Cup Trophy in the finals later at 10pm. Not supporting anyone in particular. I hate both of them ~.~ Just watching for fun. Haha.

Excited for tomorrow. Going out :)

The Action of Doing Nothing

Seriously, I did actually nothing much today. Woke up at like 12+, already so late to do anything. Well not really xP. Played Restaurant City until got stupid maintenance. Then couldn't do anything. Then at around 4pm, my mum ask me to do reading (boring..) until like 6pm. After that, watched The Simpsons on TV and went to Bedok for shopping on groceries at 6.30pm. Came home at like 8pm and missed my favourite Tv show, Friends. Yes.. yes, answer to my quiz on Facebook. Haha. If you are reading this post and my blog, you get a total of 4 answers. Haha. From 8 to now, basically on the computer, Msn mainly xP.

Well, still can't wait for Sunday. Going somewhere on Sunday. The special one will know where. The others don't need to know =)

BARCELONA WINS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! What I was dreaming for truly happened. BARCELONA TRASHED MAN U 2-0!!!!!!!!!!!!. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

This is for the Manchester "Noob" United Fans who visit my blog:

Barcelona 2:0 Man U
Barcelona 2:0 Man U
Barcelona 2:0 Man U
Barcelona 2:0 Man U
LOSERS! xD

Haha. I watched the match and was super happy after only 10 minutes when Samuel Eto'o drew first blood to earn Barcelona a 1-0 lead. Before the 10 minutes, Barcelona rarely had any possession of the ball and not a single shot on goal. After their goal, they had all the possession in the world, with more confidence, passing the ball around and making Man U players chase for them. (Ooh.. I just love to see Man U struggling xD) All the way to the halfway mark in the game, Barcelona held on to their lead. Just 20 minutes from time, a cross from Xavi, landed perfectly on the side of gliding in Lionel Messi's head and ricocheted into the back of Edwin van der Sar's goalpost. Brilliant moment for the spanish team and I was completely filled with joy. I actually shouted and my mum almost woke up -.- Hmm, I watched the game all the way till the trophy presentation to Barcelona. To see sad faces on Man U player's faces made my day :).

In school today, we had the school bazaar. Since MT O Level exam is on the coming Monday, There were MT lessons today. So, I walked around the bazaar with 2 friends, looking at stuff. Not really interesting though.. After thier MT periods, we all went to the bazaar and went to the field. We saw this group of sec 2 students playing with a soccer ball and so, we went over to ask if we could play. They said that we had to pay to take penalties. $1 for 5 shots. We agreed and took penalty shots against sec 2's ~.~. After that we continued playing for like 15 minutes and got so carried away that the sec 2's didn't collect the money and just left =). So, we continued playing like for an hour till we were so tired that we decided to go back to class to rest for awhile. After awhile, there were MT lessons again and I stayed in class to read Twilight and listen to the radio. Was bored until when Suti and Darren returned from MT. Then we did nothing in class and it was almost time to go back home ( well, for them at least ). I had parent-teacher meeting today so I had to stay till 3P.M. which was the timeslot assigned to me. Earlier, Suti had spammed 43 tickets into 4G's raffle basket and won it LOL. $43 put to bid for a $40 worth raffle basket. There were a total of 50 tickets inside and 43 were his, which he collected from various people, including me, to win the basket and share the contents in the basket. 86% probalilty that he would win the lucky draw and to no surprise, he won. Then, I went to collect my share. Tim was beside me and whispering in my ear to take the packet of Ruffles Potato Chips as they seemed to be the most expensive item in the basket. I snatched it and stuffed it into my bag. LOL. Then, I swiftly stode out of our class with Tim and went to Parkway Parade for lunch. Ate at Mos Burger, my first time there. The burger was quite nice, teriyaki chicken burger. Really liked it. =). Then we went back and my parents had arrived for the meeting. We went in to meet Mr Tan (E Maths one). He told us that almost all the teachers had the same comment for me, it being, "Sloppy in work, need more diligence in my learning and need more effort". Well, I really do feel that I have slackened this year and I think I do deserve this comments. Guess I'm going to do something about it this june holidays. I'm going to put in the effort and brush up on my work. Of course not neglecting playing computer (Oops..). Haha.

Anyway, here are my results in brief ( Combined Overall for Semester 1):

Total percentage: 66.3%
L1R5: 17
L1R4: 10
Class Rank: 7/40
Level Rank: 76/320

Well, I have clearly deproved in my work. Last year, I had gotten 3rd place in Class. Dropped to 7th this time around, but I'm not all that disappointed. I'm actually fairly satisfied with my results this time but I'm sure that if I had put in that extra effort, I would have performed better. Ah, anyway, there is still enough time for me to catch up. I'm going to take full advantage of that.

LOLs.. Enough of spamming.. I could possibly go on.. Haha. Oh yes, and 1 more thing,

Barcelona VS Man U

Oh yea. The day we all have been waiting for, The Champions League Finals!! Barcelona up against Man U, both respective title winners for their league. I'm with Barcelona all the way. Screw Man U. Losers. Hope they get trashed upside down. Going to wake up at 2.30 A.M to watch the match live at home. Should be an interesting game. Anticipating so much so that I don't think I will be able to sleep -.-. Though I have a deep sinking feeling that Man U will win, I am still with Barcelona xD.

My ear is damn pain now. I was almost listening to music on my phone over the earpiece throughout the whole day in school and my ear is pain due to the ear plugs.. They are like kind of swollen. I had so much time to slack today, as predicted. Anyways, hope my ear will be ok by tomorrow. Tomorrow is more slack than today. God knows how many mother tongue periods there are tomorrow. I can even go to the bazaar and buy food and go outside chinese class and laugh. ~.~. Haha. That's mean =(. Today during assembly we had briefing on O Level stuff, like how to behave and what to do and what not. Also, there were talks by various HOD's on the cohort's performance. Almost sleeping through half of it. (Oops.. Did Mr. Tan see me? Nah.. he saw Francis) During mother tongue today, Suti's teacher didn't come to school, so he came with me to the library and we played PES for like an hour. Haha. That was fun, really enjoy PES together with the jokes and funny stuff that come in it.

Anything better for me to do at home for now besides on the computer for like almost the whole day after I come home? Hmm. Guess not for now. Tomorrow is our report book collection. I'm not so worried about that because I have done good for my standards. xD. Though I failed one subject, Comb. Humans, it's still not bad.

To end off, here is something encouraging for Barcelona, (As if there are going to see my blog. LOL!). Anyways,

Haha. Go Go Barcelona. I swear I'm going to spam if they win :)

Fifa 09 Doesn't Work

Just re-installed Fifa 09 after it didn't work when I tried earlier and guess what? It doesn't work.. Why? Because my graphic card isn't compatible with it. *Sigh* I guess I'm just not destined to play it. Spent all the time installing it that I'm now left with no time to play any other game. Never mind that. Haha.

In school, didn't have any free periods today =(. There wasn't even PE today =(. Wanted to play soccer so much. That too didn't work out. Not destined to play today either. Why am I not destined to do anything today? -_-. Well, as I look at tomorrow, I see slack periods, totaling to about 5 periods of slacking. That's like half the day. Haha :). Well, looking forward is all I can do for now. Quite bored at home too. Bored of usual games that I play. Anyways, off to try and keep myself occupied for now.

Liverpool 3:1 Spurs.

Well, the title tells it all. Yup, with goals from Torres, Kyut and Benayoun to seal the victory. A win didn't matter much to us but pride was still at stake. Sami Hyypia who has been in Liverpool for 10 years now is leaving for the German club, Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Benitez, the famously or rather infamously known unsentimental person didn't even let someone who has been at the club for 10 years play 10 minutes of his last match at Anfield. How unsentimental can he get? Anyway, to the relegation now:

Match results :

Hull 0-1 Man U
Sunderland 2-3 Chelsea
Newcastle 1-0 Aston Villa
West Ham 2-1 Middlesbrough

Well, in short, Newcastle and Middlesbrough are relegated alongside West Brom. Look at some bad and insulting stuff against Newcastle from Sunderland fans.

Haha.. Feel sad for them though. *I send my condolences to them :)*

New clubs that are coming up:

Congrats to the new clubs coming up to the Premier League next season =)

Away from soccer, Today I only had one hour of lessons in school. HAHA. First period was taken up in the assembly plaza with speeches by teachers and the principal. After that, in class, we were checking our marks for CA 1 and SA 1. That took like an hour. So everyone had to go in register order to check their marks. In the meanwhile, I was playing PES with Suti. As usual, whenever we find free time, to PES it is! Haha. After that, Mr Tan (E maths one) came into class to take over half an hour of the extra A maths period. That was the first half hour. After that, went for Physics where we had to do an experiment with a ping-pong ball. So, Darren, Shanon and I were playing with the ping-pong ball like nobody's business. Later while we had to record our values suddenly someone said,

"Teacher, my ball drop.."

Just then, the whole class burst out into laughter. LOL. I still can't forget that moment. Hahahahaha. After that was recess and then slack period for me- Mother Tongue. Read Twilight. Then had english the next lesson. We only had half a period as for the second half of the lesson, most teachers had a level meeting so they had to go off. xD. After that was geog. I was like dam bored out and I seriously didn't feel like having geog lesson. True enough, Mrs Chen came into class saying that she didn't have to mood to teach and that she will only start in the truncated lessons in June. The class was elated and I played PES again, this time with Tim. Finally I got to play with Tim after a year of waiting. I got to go home after that. There isn't after school remedial for me this week as it's all taken for Chinese as they have their O level next week =). Good for me, I get to go back home.

Just got back home from MacDonald's where I went to eat lunch with Suti. (who poned Chinese remedial). Slacking now doing nothing. Guess I'll start studying from June holidays, trying to catch up on a year and a half's of work.

Gtg for now.

A Day of Slacking

Woke up late today, around 1pm. I woke up and found out that I'm not going for soccer anymore because they increased the cost. I was okay with that as I didn't want to get myself injured before my O Levels which are inching closer and closer. I slacked by lying on the sofa until after lunch when I went to play computer. Played until 4pm and then went to watch the movie "Knowing" that I had downloaded a few days ago. Quite nice though I did feel the eeriness creep on me when it was a dark scene in the movie. Watched the movie and then my parents dragged me to the beach to walk. Went to east coast park, walked a little and went to sit on a seawall. It was super windy there. I closed my eyes and let the wind gush out any difficulties I was having at that instant. At that moment, I felt as though my mind was empty and free of worries.

Anyway, went back home later anticipating the Liverpool vs Spurs game coming up at 11pm. Should be an exciting match. With other games being played too, there will be also the fight for who gets relegated to the Championship alongside already-relegated West Brom. Likes of Sunderland, Hull City, Newcastle and Middlesbrough.

Well, off to watch the Liverpool match now.

Gtg for now,

Today

Hmm.. What about today. Totally nothing much. Went to school in the morning. Came back home and was on the com until late. Well, Let's hope tomorrow can be a better day. Plus, I got soccer tomorrow =). Tomorrow is also the day of the last games of the 08/09 EPL season. Liverpool is playing Spurs. Well anticipated match. Looking forward.

Gtg for now.

Friday: 22 May 2009

Friday was a short day in school as usual. Got to go back home at 12.40 PM. Tim was thinking in class whether to go for chinese remedial or not, so, I left him there and went home myself. When I asked IRIS and saw that the bus was coming in 21 minutes, I took bus 16. When I got off the bus at Bedok Interchange, the next 16 was just behind and parked just beside the one I came off from. Surprisingly, I saw Tim & Shanon walk out of the bus and walk towards the other side. I tried very much to call Tim but he didn't turn around to see me behind him =(. TIM!! Haha.. Nevermind. Went home after that and started reading Twilight after lunch while lying on my bed. In no time, I found myself asleep with the book still in my hands LOL. My sis said that she saw me and took the book and put it away. After a few hours, when I awoke, I found my hands still in the same position that they were in when I was reading.. HAHAHA. I held my hands in front of my eyes and chuckled.

Immediately after I awoke, my mum said that she was going to Orchard, Robinsons to do shopping. I hesitated quite a fair bit after which I finally decided to go with her. My aunt and sis came too, so it was me alone with 3 women. At Robinsons, all I saw were purses, women's shoes and more purses. I had to do that for almost an hour before my mum finally went to the men's section to see stuff for me =). Bought a pair of jeans and a polo tee. After that, went to eat at BK and then went back home. After I was home, I could finally enter Maplestory Episode 2. I thought that it was 3D. Only to my disappointment, I saw that it was still the same 2D Side Scrolling, with only some updates. Went to sleep soon as I had MT school today =(.

Just came back from a 'roaring' departure from school. Just before our class left, the whole cohort was in the auditorium going through our E Maths Paper 1 corrections. After it was over, Mdm Halilah said that the class that collects all the scripts and arranges them in order first and passes it up gets to go first. Almost immediately, everyone started passing their scripts to Hwee Ling. She couldn't manage it. Ming Wei stepped in to help =). While he was sorting all of them out, almost the whole class started shouting (especially big Farhan). LOL. The whole auditorium looked at us. Ming Wei got nervous after that. Haha. Other classes handed in first =(. When the teacher allowed 4G to go, Farhan stood up and shouted like crazy. We all were laughing. When we were finally allowed to leave, everyone left saying the classic, "OOOOOOOOOH". Haha.

I also had my 2.4km run today. Had ran on other days too but didn't manage to pass =(. Today I put in my best effort and continued running despite having a dry throat. I ran non stop for 4 rounds, walked the 5th and ran the 6th. I came in with a timing of 14.49 and I hope I passed it. Even if i didn't, I will not re-run again. I don't think that I can get a timing better than this one =). I gave a hundred and one percent and got a decent timing. I'm surprised and happy with it.

Anyway, I got back the last few papers today =).

Chem: 75.8%, A1
Others below; Paper 2, Section B: 20/30

English: C6
Compre: 14/25 Summary: 13/25

Summary of marks:

English: C6
E Maths: A1
Chemistry: A1
Physics: A1
A Maths: A2
Comb. Humans: XX.... D7 -_-

L1R5= 18 L1R4= 11

I feel happy to an extent with my results. First time getting A1 for physics is commendable for my standards -_-. Though Comb. Humans i got D7 which I wasn't expecting, it's okay. Just have to push a little just to pass. Trying to push my english a little more to just about B4. Hoping to maintain this or rather do better for prelims and O levels...

Darren being an Idiot [2]

All the while since yesterday, Darren had been telling me that he got a total of 29/60 for situational and compo. When we got back our compre today, he got 17/25. He then started with the nonsense;

Darren: Shit la. I need 9 more marks from summary to pass. I don't think I can get 9. Walao, Sure fail liao.
Me: You won't get 9 la. I also need 9 to pass. If I can get 9, so can you.
Darren: I sure get below 9 one. I scared cannot pass english leh.
Me: You won't la. Later you get 20, I'll slap you.

True enough, what I had said came true. When we got back our scripts, he had gotten 21/25.

Me: SEE. I TOLD YOU. YOU IDIOT
Suti: Walao, F**K you la Darren.
Darren: *Smiling* YES, I got A2. YEAHHH
Me: *Counting: 41+21 = 62. He got B4. Confused* You got B4 la.
Darren: I was lying to you all the while. I got a total of 39/60 for situational and compo.
Me & Suti: *Agitated Face*
Me: WALAO YOU LIAR. YOU LIED AGAIN.
Darren: I told my mother also that I got 29. She believe me.
Me: You can even lie to your mother, who'd believe you then.
Suti: (Still cursing and fretting about his marks saying that he could have gotten A2 too if he had gotten higher for summary)

I let Darren go as all his other subjects got lower marks than me. xD. So it wasn't that bad. [Darren, if you're reading this, please stop lying. ESPECIALLY to your mother ._.]. Normal lessons should be resuming tomorrow, if not, Monday. *Sigh* I guess it's back to more work and pushing to do. I really do enjoy the post-exams-getting-back-results-period. =). It's filled with anticipation and eagerness.

Gtg for now.

Ah, just back from english remedial. Only AG3 had english remedial and those who failed. Suti, Tim & Darren were laughing at me for needing to stay back =(. Lucky people. Got to go back home at 2pm. Haha. Did corrections for the situational writing test we got back today. Update on marks just received today:

E Maths: {75.6%}, A1
[Paper 1]: 57/80 [Paper 2]: 80/100

English:
Compo: 19/30 =)
Situational: 14/30 =(
Compre and summary to be received on Thursday and Friday respectively.

Comb Humanities: (49/100) D7 =(
Geog: 29/40
SS (From yesterday): 20/40

I made so many careless mistakes in paper 2 of E maths. Could have gotten 90 marks =(. Nonetheless, I still got an A1 and I'm happy. Did quite well for my compo. Even Mrs Poon said that my compo was not bad. Omg. How often have I been remarked by her? All I had gotten last year was belittling remarks from her saying that I'm slacking and making lots of mistakes. Well I don't disagree *chuckle* but at least I've made an improvement in my compo =). The situational was bad and difficult. I know of many people who have gotten lower than me for that. I'm not grieving over that because I had actually gotten 15 but got one mark deducted due to not writing "Thank You" at the end of my situational. I was actually hoping for 30 marks in geog so that I can pass comb humans but I guess my fate was decided and I was not fated to pass. (I hadn't passed CA1 too.. -_-)

Exam marks away, here's one interesting conversation in school during recess today.

Darren: I like beef. It helps be grow strong bones.
Me: *Lame Face* Cos I cant eat beef.

( Forgot some lines. Well, lets get to the point)

Suti: Ox is a COW!
Me: NO! Ox is not a cow. Cow is the female counterpart of the Ox.
Suti & Tim: YES IT IS.
Suti: Why then do you generalise roosters and hens using chicken?
Darren: Because chicken is easier to say what. You don't say you want to eat hen.. hen.. right??
Me: *LOL in my head*
Suti: That's why cow is used to generalise cows and oxes. That means Ox is also a cow. *And looks at Darren*
Darren: Ya la, I never say Ox is not cow right? *Looks at me from the corner of his eye*
Me: *Forget it* *Got up to put plate*

Later on,

Darren: Punit, you can drink milk but cannot eat beef. Then you drink what milk? Goat milk?
Me: Zzzz. No la. Cow milk also la. Milking cows doesn't kill the cow but getting beef does.
Darren: Then what about leather? You use leather how? Leather is gotten from killing cows and shedding their skin.
Me: I don't have leather stuff. *Said that jokingly*
Darren: Ya.. Ya.. Then your sofa? Leather lor.
Me: My sofa is made of wood.
Darren: The side or something still got leather right?
Me: No. Wooden sofa. Wood frame.
Darren: Where got such thing?
Tim: GOT LA. Those olden time ones. Wooden structure.
Me: *Giggling*

Hmm, that aside. Haha. I "FINALLY" am reading my first book: Twilight. Just got it borrowed from a friend of my sister's. It's actually quite interesting. (Well, interesting till where I have read till at least. No vampires have appeared yet, as my friends said that this series was about vampires.) Guess I have to read on to find out then.

Gtg for now.

Okay. This is going to be the final blog that I'm going to create. About today, just got back some of my results:

Physics: 79% A1 (YEAH! First time xD)

Chem:
[MCQ]: 31/40 [Paper 2] Section A: 40/50 Section B: Thursday

A Maths:
[Paper 1]: Soon [Paper 2]: 71.5/100

SS: 20/50 [Sad.. I thought the paper was easy]

Disappointed with my SS marks and Chemistry marks. Should have passed SS and done better for chemistry =(. All I can do now is hope for my geog to pull up my combined humanities marks, in which I need 30/50. Nervous about tomorrow as I'm getting back my English paper tomorrow. Hope for the best, prepared for the worst. Despite my disappointments, I'm proud of my physics marks. I Got A1 for the first time. Was super happy when I got the paper back :D. Let's see what tomorrow's marks will bring: Sadness or Happiness. What has fate in store for my English marks. I shall find out soon.

Darren was being an idiot in school today. Just before we got back our SS test he kept saying that he only wrote half-paged essays and would definately fail. When we got back the tests, I was the one who failed and he got B4, 31/50. What a liar. Was really angry at him at that time. Almost felt like tearing his script =). Anyways, I beat him in a few other subjects so it's kind of okay for me.

Gtg for now.
