a new blogskin!


haha it's about time i got rid of the old and depressing one.
in time for xmas and the new year too!


shall blog about taiwan trip next time. :)


/edit


i'm suddenly reminded about ms champagne and gp lessons and the "hallmark effect"

if you end messages with smileys or say really cliched things like "have a nice day" when you don't mean it,
you've been hallmarked! :)

i think it's damn weird that people tag asking you to blog and stuff
and when you finally blog, they stop leaving messages!
rawwwr.

Tuesday, November 28, 2006

somehow i feel obliged to apologise for not updating as often as i should.

well anyway, much has happened since the last post and the dreaded thing is finally over.
but i guess when you anticipate something so much, when it really happens it's just like "ok lor. over already.", and that's kind of disappointing. nevertheless it's really truly the past tense and that's all that matters isn't it.

ok so here's what happened so far in chronological order..


there was graduation day!


the girls with the scholars. hahaha ok i hoped to absorb some mugging aura from them.


taiwan ppl


part of the class


with our favourite chem teacher! (it's true cos she's our only chem teacher)


NICE HOR I EDITED THIS MYSELF HOHOHO


yeah and then there was like seemingly never-ending exams. it sucks when people around you have like 1 more paper left and you have 4. and try doing 15 hours of math, 9 of which are sort of consecutively. (fri mon tues)

celebrated the end with janice, walking around town for like 4 or 5 hours. i broke a record! spent only ten bucks in the 4 or 5 hours. and it was all on food.

wed i think i stayed home, but i cant really remember.

thurs and fri had 2/4 chalet and i didn't sleep again! i think all the chalets i've been to this year has provided me with the strength to stay awake the whole night. mahjong and bridge helps a lot though. i declare them my favourite games. but i never quite have the luck to win a mahjong game. OH and quite a few people picked up bridge and mahjong that night. it was like agambling den of sorts. luckily there were exactly 8 people. adam kwa came and did some fortune telling and some story telling. sinkuan and i were in our own world however. talking about random things.

oh the highlight of the chalet HAS to be going to changi airport and back in about 18 minutes. we were supposed to send my mum off BUT the kiasu her had to go in early (or smth) so we couldn't find her at the boarding gate. and before that when we were coming out of the mrt station at changi i asked the control station guy what time the last train was leaving and he said 11.18!!! it was like 11 at that time please!
WAH MAD RUSH LAH. so we took skytrain to T1 and went about looking for mum. failed so we quickly ran back to take the skytrain and when the skytrain finally reached T2 we RAN ALL THE WAY to the mrt and rushed into the mrt. thank god for the person in front of us who was also running if not it'd have been so embarrassing. but that was more exercise than i have done in a long long loooong time so it's not that bad after all.

went facial on friday afternoon. slept like a log. paiseh to sk. haha

watched wei xiao pasta on youtube. it's quite good. but i think wang zi bian qing wa is better. BUT THEY TOOK WZBQW OFF. damn

fast forward to monday.
went bugis with jaya and sherin. bought a pair of earrings which i'm confused about which way to wear cos if i wear it one way (like it should be, i guess) it's damn heavy. if the other way it's weird, as in i never see people wear that way before.

went town to meet zhiru and haowen (who was very late!!) to get a super belated present for HSH. met xiaoting and went for jts together

the jts was sweet! i think they really spent a lot of time planning for everything, from the blindfolding part to the video to the presents and everything. NOREEN YOU KEEP MAKING ME HIT THE STEPS THANKS HUH. but anyway it was the best (the only) jts i've been to and i guess i'm just really thankful for having such great juniors. i can really feel that you guys are a united bunch and yeahh i have faith that the NE cup is going to stay with us. there's still like half of your council term to go though so try to make the best of the remaining time and good luck to everyone.
i still don't understand why there's a need to keep the location secretive. hmm.

THIS BASKET STEP ON MY TOES WHEN I WAS ON THE BUS HOME. MY TOENAIL BROKE INTO HALF LEH. needless to say the top half DROPPED OFF. i'm reminded of the horrors of the SAJC haunted house. basket. and he didnt even know. was like nonchalently walking towards the exit doors until i gave this SUPER ANNOYED CUM PAINED expression. then he look down and was like. oh. sorry. basket.

got a happy surprise from the government when i was home!! hahaha THANK YOU!!!


on hindsight i guess the past two years have been a troubling time for me and yeah most people that i know. the need to cope with schoolwork, ccas, friendships and stuff. and it's really sad that there is no way to balance all these things perfectly. as in some aspects will inevitably get forgotten or neglected. some of course can be made up for but then again there are some areas in which the damage is irreversible. again i'm really thankful for having this bunch of friends who stood by me in the worst times (i presume you know who you are even though some of us are not as close) and to those whom i've tried but failed to depend on, i can only imagine the rest of the years ahead. in fact i'm so disappointed with YOU. the way you've forsaken me for the sake of your new friends or your committments. when i needed help so badly in school you just weren't there. you left me alone to fend for myself. there was this particular incident which i'm sure you've forgotten but to me it meant so much. is that what we're made of? i expected much more you know. and really i feel like blasting off at you but i'm just trying damn hard to bite it down.


ok this is turning into a long sad post. time to stop. need to meet the taiwan people! :))

remember the last time i talked about trends and such? (scroll down below..)

well well! my predictions for all subjects are SPOT ON. hahaha


almost 3 months ago i said this about math:
"of course, if indeed my results follow this trend, then i'd get a 66 for prelims and peak at the right time- the a levels!"
ok so i didnt get 66. but i did improve A LOT. feels good to get A la!
lol. wanted to say "feels good to get A again" but i realised, don't even have first time, where got "again"


and remember my physics was so incredibly lousy?
how i got lower and lower for physics MCQ?
hahaha i FINALLY started passing my physics MCQ again
and i said this:
"the good news is, there is no grade worse than F9. so unless i happen to get lower marks with the same F9 grade the next time round, it can only mean one thing:I AM GOING TO IMPROVE. HAHAHA."

and improve i did! 54.4! *beams*
but on a side note i think i'm possibly the most-sway person on earth. i always get stuck with bad approximations.
like the other time, i got 34.4 and it was rounded DOWN to 34 and i got F9?
i think my mark will be rounded down too! and i'll be stuck with a damn not-worth-it D. yucks


about FM and chem:
"fm, by the way, has been a B-A-O-D. which is essentially some positive cubic curve. which also means i'm going to keep improving!
chem, on the other hand, is a negative cubic curve, which can only bring bad news. NEGATIVE. the word says it all."

TING TING TING. correct!
fm- up to a B. managed to scrape a 60 despite a very lousy mechanics section. haha
chem-down to E la. if you think about the amount of studying i did for chem vs the rest of the subjects, IT'S NOT WORTH IT. totally!
ARGHHH dontyouhatefoodchemdontyouhatefoodchemdontyouhatefoodchem
lol and i got single digit for org chem in paper 3. hmm


ok so results aside, school's been a DEAR.
come on! there are more rest days than go-to-school days!
hahaha i like this timetable. too bad there's just 6 more days of school. :(


double physics and chem on monday! BLEAHHH.

Saturday, September 23, 2006

aiish. sorry for the lag!!

anyway, prelims are over and done with, thank GOD.
time to take a break. even if it's a short-lived one.

some photos from .. DAMN LONG AGO.


NE trophy!!
proud to be aqua ogls and 38+39th aqua councillors!


HATs (sam is so pretty! haha)


a looonng time ago (the monday after my birthday), some of us went geylang in search of exciting food. photos!


at some dim sum shop


xiu ming eating siew mai!


some random dou jiang you tiao place


the normal vs the sensual.


preparing to jump


at some point in time we couldn't agree on where to go.
and since it was to be an exciting day, we decided to just take any bus and alight at the 8th stop. talk about being random. lol


pretending to be the poster


notice the similarity? hahaha


i dared candy to hold those things until the end of the ride
hahaha

what a coincidence.
i was saying that i wanted to go bugis to buy earrings.
hahaha and guess where the 8th stop was!
right behind the national library
LOL was i lucky or what?!


jumping across the library
damn diu lian! ughhh.
we were so afraid ppl would call sp or smth.


SUPERMANNNN.


we took the lift up to the highest floor without noticing that it was the OFFICE.
damnnn people walked in when the lift stopped! hahaha
and they were like,
"why do schoolchildren like to take this lift so much? so many of them"
lol we told them "ohh we press wrongly"
damn malu.

don't try that. ever.

i think it's damn ironic
do you see it too?

Thursday, August 10, 2006

it's amazing how birthdays can make you feel like cinderalla.
everything's gone at the strike of twelve.
hmm.
being the nice person i am, i've decided to give u a SPECIAL SNEAK PREVIEW of NDP 2006!! hahaha. 5 dollars please. or u can vote me for like uhh the service with honour award. lol


isn't this pretty??
i was following this professional photographer, stopping whenever he did.
and look what i got! haha


air force!
*did you know that jessie's dad flew the singapore flag for the past 2 years!?


speaker of parliament (in between the heads of those two ppl)
thanks to SK's great photography skills


sk and i. thanks for the tix!


march past


check out the CAP!! haha it has FLASHING LIGHTS on the singapore flag!!
*the circuit was attached using MASKING TAPE though. haha how unglam.


fireworks! not bad la my reaction time improved haha


uhh to be honest i wasnt really looking at the show
was preparing myself for the fireworks. didnt wanna be caught offguard again
hahaha

(ps. i did catch the fireworks. 2 min+ video BUT this comp does not have quicktime NOR photoshop so i cant get the photos. next time perhaps.)



police force doing their usual thing

hahaha SO AMAZINGG


loyal ah peh waving the singapore flag damn enthusiastically

caught pirate of the caribbean 2's sneaks yesterday

IT'S HILARIOUS, though a tad tragic at some parts. (like the father-son relationship)

pity the ending.
i guess the guys over at hollywood just wanted to get people hyped up about pirates 3.
i.e. more money!!
grr.

I LOVE JOHNNY DEPP!
his acting is damn convincing. (and he's hot! haha)
and i love his look in the show!! super cool.
new idol! :))








i don't understand how some people can survive 2 years in school and not feel anything for it. criticising the school and stuff. not bothering about school events like sports day and house sessions, etc. some don't even turn up. school life is not just about yourself. i guess it's sort of a give-and-take thing; only when you give will you be able to truly experience a fulfilling jc life.
yes, you guys might have your reasons but i dunno, it just seems wrong somehow...


if my circumstances were different, would i be doing the same thing?

Saturday, July 08, 2006

following the use of my graphing cal to plot my dear physics results, i have something to announce:

MY GRAPHING CAL IS DEAD!

it has been mercilessly dropped on the floor while i was doing some damn tutorial.
IT DIED SO TRAGICALLY!!!


now i need a new one!
ROARRR.


/EDIT

MY GRAPHING CAL IS POSSESSED!!

it really seemed dead just this afternoon
but when i came home and gave it a FRIENDLY pat on the back
it's back alive!

a-duishh.

Thursday, July 06, 2006

now, in case you're not informed, "mathematics" is a new topic in the GP paper set by those britons over in cambridge. in fact, if you refer to paper 1 of the gp paper in 2005, you'd see something like "the study of mathematics is of little practical use"!

ah HA!

being a double maths student in nj, i felt that there is a need to defend my cause.
you see, maths is definitely of SOME practical use, as demonstrated below in the analysis of trends in my exam results.


MATH C
this is assumed by many to be a given A. but NO! i had to be so special and be stuck in a vicious cycle of 65s, 66s, and 67s.


this is my year one CT marks.


promos


year 2 CT1

AHA! do you see a pattern forming? it goes 65-66-67. now lets assume the cycle repeats. and the next result would be a 65.




WHICH IS TRUE!!


of course, if indeed my results follow this trend, then i'd get a 66 for prelims and peak at the right time- the a levels!





isn't this amazing?






i'd show you what's TRULY amazing!

this is my physics year 1 CT MCQ marks.


this is my year 2 CT1 marks!

isn't the mark, coincidentally, the same (24)?
notice how the denominator changes!
isn't it truly AMAZING how i can be so lousy?

now i shall show you what's incredible!

my year 2 CT2 physics MCQ marks!

it is indeed incredible!
i have gotten EVEN LOUSIER!

and my physics grades follow a pattern too!

using my trusty graphing cal and plotting a graph of y= -x, we get:


starting with D in CT1, E in promos, O7/O8 (after/before moderation) for year 2 CT1, F9 (34.3! talk about errors in rounding off!) for year 2 CT2!



UNBELIEVABLE i tell you!
(p.s: i have run out of synonyms.)


the good news is, there is no grade worse than F9. so unless i happen to get lower marks with the same F9 grade the next time round, it can only mean one thing:

I AM GOING TO IMPROVE. HAHAHA.


let me show you another interesting thing:

my FM grade. (doesnt it look like 52 not equals to 1, which is like, duh?)

but that's not the point.
my point is the comment. hahaha

oh man. but i don't want to talk to him!
we all know it takes 2 hands to clap, 2 people to converse and 1 person to scold/nag/carry out what-are-you-doing-why-so-lousy talks. or console you.
it probably means the first 3.
(haha no offense to mr neo!! sorry if you ever see this.)

fm, by the way, has been a B-A-O-D. which is essentially some positive cubic curve.
which also means i'm going to keep improving!

chem, on the other hand, is a negative cubic curve, which can only bring bad news.
NEGATIVE. the word says it all.


naturally, maths is not all about variables.
there are constants too.

thankfully, GP has been rather constant.
i hope i don't jinx my latest gp marks by saying this!!

so you see. maths IS of practical use!
i'd have aced that essay!

Thursday, June 29, 2006

FREEDOM :))
common tests are over and done with and all j2s are left with the last stretch to go. this CT feels better than the previous one (at least for MC and like.. fm 'cos i failed it the other time round) but i guess it's still some time before we'll know. it's the first time i've ever managed to complete an mc paper. hahaha and chem.. i wished i'd skipped the calculation questions in front. spent so much time studying food chem and it's damn stupid to not have enough time to even attempt it. fm was ok (I CAN DO COMPLEX! haha. ok one question at least) but i think i've a serious problem with time management. couldn't complete this paper too. and physics is bullshit, as usual. hahaha my mcq's gonna like get lowest in class AGAIN. don't understand why they have to make the mcq two marks each. it's like making us bleed over the same thing twice. hey i'm trying to practice some gp here. MCS- i've never been traumatised this much by an exam before. didn't even do enough marks to pass the damn paper. oh mann. it's like the first time i feel so lost doing a math paper. lol. i'm shocked, but at least it's over. and now i'm able to enjoy a looooong break. YAY i love post exam activities!

was unable to blog about aqua outing cos i was busy mugging. it was.. good. at least for the chalet part. HEYYY I MANAGED TO SET UP (ok. almost) A FIRE!! haha. OVERNIGHT MAHJONG (again!) is one of the best ways to find out how people behave when they get tired! hahaha most of us sing stupid stuff and talk senseless things. lol. ok or is it just me? hahaha. and funny things happened too like pig heart attack (guess who's idea..) and like zhiru's SHOCKING NEWS.

so anyway!

photos from lewis' birthday at cafe cartel


check out the TUMOUR he's eating!


Lewis with his pink bday card from gilbert


playing with his very own prize picking machine


you look SO happy lews! hurhurhur

lewis' order - mudpie

in case you think this is nice, look what happened in the end:


doesn't that thing near the top of the plate look familiar?
like, i duno, something that can be found in the toilet? lol


KN's pained expression of eating too many desserts


u-zap should consider making sinyee the spokesperson!!


i-gallop too!! hahaha (ps: don't kill me! lol)


don't they look like drug peddlers? haha




happy birthday lews!!

I HAVE A HAIR LOSS PROBLEMMM!! any recommendations?? besides beijing 101 cos it seems its like for OLD people!!
