Got my term progress report last week and managed to achieve my goals...Hoping ta get frozen throne cd from timothy tml because i need to reinstall everything to play dota. Heard that wei lun is undergoing intensive gaming training in dota...
Alvin's com is workable now after deleting a virus called W32.rants B, which undetectedly disabled task manager and registry editor and other system programmes...However, mebbe because of the "aftereffects" of e virus that er...deny access to his com, or rather he carn log on to his account...
Anyway, yesterday reached school at 9 am for physics lesson on work, energy and power. Unaware that the time has changed to 8 am although some ppl told me that it was 8. Since the others said that it was 9, so i decided ta slack abit and walked into class at 9:05. Fortunately, mr foo did not scold me, but apparently the lesson ended at 9:45, so it seems that the time i spent on travelling is two times greater than the lesson time...
still have a handful of homework ta do...gtg bb...
Looking Forward ta Better Days...=P

Long time no post...referee for weiqi competition today. Hwa Chong coped 50% of the trophies in category A and 75% in category B. First time being a referee, but no money given...in the last competition, $20 were given to those who refereed. But this time only got free lunch and mineral water.
Studying chemistry test now. Seems a lot harder than the other chemistry tests. this one focuses on memorising the uses, effects etc. of substances rather than equations and formulas...Got everything confused. CFCs causes ozone depletion, CO2 causes greenhouse effects (then what are catalytic converters for as they oxidises CO to CO2?), etc...
Gotta Study now..
Looking Forward ta Better Days...

2005-08-17T20:29:00.000+08:00

Stressed...i carn change my past but i can and want to control my future...struggling with everything. As what yc had said, life is simple, it is us who make it complicated...It is difficult, everything is getting worse...
Looking Forward to better days...

Today is National Day. HAPPY BRITHDAY SINGAPORE...This is also the day where i got what i wanted after craving it for years...In high-spirits now, and i dun want it to leave my body...Felix Felicis. Hahaz...

Watched two movies yesterday on the theme of violence. One about the Rwanda civil war between the Tutsis and the Hutus. Another (fewer violent scenes) is 'seven swords'. Yesterday's movie in the audi is like dampening our high spirits lah, but also quite 'educating'. Researched on the Rwanda genocide today to do a report, but have'nt completed it yet. Made me sick after reading about Rwanda genocide and linked me to the Nazi holocaust and the Armenian Genocide...argh...

Today's suppose to be a happy day...
Looking Forward to having this feeling evryday...

P.S. Weiqi talent from weiqi club: Ng Chee Yang (yesterday's star)!!! F.I.R. zi bei liaoz lah...

2005-08-06T13:20:00.000+08:00

ok lor...got asc ta cheer me up, helped my bio ace (2.5 before, now its 12.5) by five points. Along with projects day, a bonus of another 5 points. This is yet another time when i feel so damn depressed and something heartening appeared before my eyes. So what's the difference between B+ and B?? Hoped that i can get more ace points with B+ for project's day...

2005-08-04T20:52:00.000+08:00

Screwed up bio spa test today. Haiz. SPA Skill 1: a) Light the bunsen burner before even setting up the beaker of hot water. b) Put the benedict's solution into the water before boiling it. c) Didn't use the equipments provided effectively. SPA Skill 2 and 3: a) Connected all the points on the graph. b) Provided a lousy explanation as a result of the badly sketched graph. c) Listed only 1 "real" source of error and provided a crappy way to overcome it (90% wrong). d) Didn't provide an explanation for the unknown nutrient solution...i was like damn angry with myself, and mebbe last's night's 5 hours sleep also contributed to the mistakes i made...Gotta revenge liaoz. Tml physics spa muz get level 6. Next year gotta meng oral cps liaoz...haiz...
P.S. i bet everything in this world that Kuk will be damn elated in his heart after seeing this, he's the one who is competing with me...

2005-08-02T18:24:00.000+08:00

Felt a bit nei4 jiu4, really, after the chem presentation. Cos aa and i took up 20-25 minutes presenting on Eutrophication. Mingwei coped the whole pictures and animations from the newater website lor, and he despised me for cutting and pasting information. Nvm, i dun despise him...

Got to talk to my buddy once during lunch, and i felt that i haven done enough to welcome them...

2005-07-30T13:39:00.000+08:00

Didn't really want to write this entry, but with too much information trapped in me, I might well, just explode and die...

Mebbe i was destined to learn the hard way after all, an isolated path taken by few. The lesson learnt was after all beneficial and encouraging. For what seemed to be the end of world, something, somewhere in this world, there will be something to cheer me up. I could still remember the days in primary school, although not vividly. It seemed to be another side of the world...

I have done what i need to do, but is it enough, no one knows. I have learnt my lessons, dearly and paid a huge cost for it. At times, I feel like dying but constant remainders kept ringing in my ears. Problems can be solved and the best method is through simplicity. History often repeats itself. Relationship problems will remain throughout our lifetimes. Few, in fact almost nobody, have the ability to solve it. There is people standing on your side, and others joining the opposition team...

Academic problems including tests, exams, pressure related to studies and competition among students, which may or may not exist, depending on the situation. If a friend is better than you in studies, you will probably congratulate him or her; likewise, if you hate someone to the core, you will be motivated to try harder and strive for better results with the aim of competing with him. That was how I managed to get good grades in primary school. However, I had the wrong concept that if I lose to someone in relationships, I could even the scores by winning them in terms of academic results...It took me years to recognise that it was wrong. Frankly speaking, i did not know what i was doing at that time in primary school...

Took a wrong path in secondary school, resulting in a chain and series of problems that still exist today. That was my biggest regret in my 8 years of education. There was nothing to fill up the gap and hole that has caused immense agony, which has disturbed me until now. History is after all history. It is impossible to alter the past that has made me wad I am now. I am, after all, a human being among billions, who live in this world of devastation...

However, I can control the future, the future which will lead us down a road of 50 years, half a century. Revolutions will then have to be carried out, to shape our attitude that will keep up to the pace of "technological advancements". In the past few years, I had realised that I had committed unforgivable blunders that could destroy my future. It seems like no matter how hard I try, relationship problems gets worse...

I have tried ways to do it. Establishing common interest is the common way. I have learnt this last year, after a series of complicated changes. Common interests is divided into two components, infinite (news, sports) and finite (computer games). Finite can be exhausted after a few rounds of talks while infinite can change as days go by. However, although my "theory" makes sense, but it struck me last year after an incident, that there are exceptions to it. It has helped me develop another "theory", on knowledge. From the bank of knowledge with a pinch of lameness, short interests can be formed and discarded. It took me long enough, damn long to realise this...Of course, this is just one of my many stories and thoughts...

After what has happened all these years, I still think that there are rooms for improvements...I have transferred some of my thoughts in this blog, so to people who have seen this message, you should know what to do...

PS. Jealousy will destroy you...To those who know my past and to whom I have talked to, you will know what I am talking about...

2005-07-29T19:54:00.000+08:00

Learnt a lot todae, especially after the meeting with mrs teng. She only tested two questions, which was unexpected (i thought it was a written test on limits and differentiation), but taught me something i didn't realise in these few days of mugging maths.

The first question was okay, but the second one posed a problem. The question was: limit x when it approaches 0, (sin x)/x. Trigonometry differentiations was my weakness as i haven't read on that chapter. I know the answer is 1, but she questioned me how to do it. The process was actually a damn complicated one, so she told me ta use graphical approach and to draw the graph of sin x. I stunned for 20 seconds as i forgot how to draw liaoz. wtf!!! Bad impression and i knew i was dead, for sure. Mrs teng then, drew for me and i answered that question using graphical approach with much difficulty.

After answering that question, she enlightened me on simplicity and application, of course with concept as the base. At the end, she told me that i was just learning advanced maths as all of us is going to learn, but the concept and application is different. You can say that you have learnt a formula, but to apply it onto something is a another thing. "Using sophisticated technology to solve a problem will not be a wise solution, as simplicity is the key to success" In the end, mrs teng asked me how many points i deserved and i answered 4 (max 10). She said three, but keyed in 4. I felt that my heart has collapsed and sinked into my stomach. That kind of feeling...

Perhaps this is my longest entry in two years. I have learnt a different thing today and appreciate it a lot...For what seemed to be simple, Maths is actually a complex and complicated kind of knowledge...

2005-07-28T18:16:00.000+08:00

Double niaoing (look at my nick)...scandal iz abt ta end, haiz, so sad...coined another term called daozation, after sianzation...

Doin ACE right now and haf a look at potassium hydroxide's blog. "hopefully, i can revert back to my old, lame, happygoing self soon" and all i can sae iz dat u haf revert to ur lame style and specialise nothing xcept niaoing others...hahaz, jk...btw, chong chen oso mentioned abt peer pressure, which also bothers me alot...right now, after mingwei's voices ringing in my ear last week, i am now sandwiched between two lame ppl, but not as lame as hong chan (nv hand in hw ah...always playing lan until lab closes). Famous of all, the big head crashed on me and jonathon always playing lame games during lesson...haiz, before iz mingwei, now this...

Thinking of playing lan tml (chances of getting caught by techi iz less than 5%), sounds appealing to me...of course iz dota...

Looking Forward to Better days...waiting for my jiu4 xing1 ta arrive...

PS. The dark forces haf collapse, mingwei haf learnt his lesson not ta play wif words (scandalous scrabbler)

2005-07-27T19:28:00.000+08:00

This is one of e most memorable days in my life...of course, it has ta do wif mingwei again...haiz, who tell him ta despise me, now he's at a dilemma...Confidential information that probably no one will leak out of the scandal club...

Dun get angry if u (mingwei) read this...Forcing me ta speak will not work...hahaz, jk...scandalous iz e word for todae...

Lookin Forward ta better days (tests, ace and a bucket full of shitty problems)...

2005-07-26T14:04:00.000+08:00

Hate Ming Wei...damn him lah, chao pissed off lor...Collapse of the dark forces, tell him to go with his money lah...gotta dao him already... = (...damn fcukin angry lah...iz this wad i get after workin so hard...

2005-07-24T12:40:00.000+08:00

Got baq maths test liaoz...an unexpected full marks, cos mrs teng altered the allocation of marks so drastically that even michael got full marks also...Took a glance at weilun's blog and his crappy imagination abt being in the headlines in the newspaper...Frankly, i also haf the same feeling as him, but our worries differ. Ace, tests, ep3, relationships with friends and family members (agree wif sean abt the 'common interest' theory)...However, it is not easy to establish one...

Three tests coming up -- chemistry, english and IHC. Probably gotta fail in english and IH (both of which are my lousest subjects)...gotta study now...

P.S. Playing LAN is for e sake of establishing common interests...

2005-07-19T17:52:00.000+08:00

Hi. Had a headache at the moment...Daoed mingwei today. Mebbe i shouldn't do that, but he made me angry. Anyway, 5 marks gone for maths test. Mrs Teng set funny numbers which has up to 2 decimal places and told us to square root the numbers to calculate distance. This is probably the most difficult maths test encountered this year. Got A2 for bio, carn believe that Alvin kuk got 39.5/50.

Haiz...under intense pressure from peers (Tests) and teachers (ACE). "Talk more in class"...haiz, getting niaoed by teachers as well. Furthermore, still have that OP points. Then, gotten sick of studies and competing for acceptable results...

Haiz... 'better days' still have not come for me. Looking Forward to Better Days...

2005-07-15T19:41:00.000+08:00

Hi. Under constant peer pressure, i haf decided to update my blog at least once a week. Todae was projects day. Slacking almost e whole day, juz carn understand why they dun want to release us early. Anyway, we had a last-min presentation. Although we were not prepared, i thought our presentation was satisfactory. After the presentation, a sense of relief overwhelmed me. Haiz, the Finals-target was getting further and further away from us by the hour.

A lot of events and hiccups had occurred for the past seven months. This is the 1st blog entry for this year. Juz blogging for the sake of releasing my thoughts. Anyway, juz hope that the future will be much enjoyable. Old quote from last year: Looking Forward to Better Days...

2004-11-10T17:51:00.000+08:00

Hi. Bored to death at home, juz lyk hp. Gettin bored wif RA2 and warcraft. Gonna try playin generals. But, I cannot play all day long rite? Decided to post something, mebbe reflections...trying to be formal wif this...

Reflections for Year 2004
This year was an intense and tedious one. Everyone says so. It is probably partly due to mrp. My goals for this year was to get an A1 for every subject. And I achieved what had seemed impossible to me. However, Ace had lent me a helping hand and pushed me nearer towards the impossible.

Scores for the English and Chinese exams were not satisfactory. B3 for English and A2 for Chinese. It seemed that I had succeeded and reached my target. In fact, I had not. Msg 1.00 proves nothing and does not stand out. Let's change the subject.

1a classmates last year were still my friends -- gt, aa, cc, hl etc. Made some more friends this year, including ak and hp. Didn't know many of my classmates well. Just as what gt says -- Hello-byebye-friends. Of course, there were quarrels among us. Some of them were partly my fault. I hereby apologise to those of my friends whom I quarrelled with.

I don't want to give comments to each and everyone of my classmates, just like what ak did. Wished that next year would have been a better and more exciting year...

Looking Forward to Better Days...

2004-11-01T14:12:00.000+08:00

Many ppl r writing reflections for e past 12 months. Hmm... mebbe its a gd idea to reflect on e things dat we had done and improve them. But not todae. Anyway, tiz year waz quite an intense one. Had a taste of hardship...

2004-10-19T16:16:00.000+08:00

Long time no post. Results known. Eng: 67 (Overall for exams), 77 (Overall) In other words, A1.

Flunked Chi. Chi: 72 (Overall for exams), 80 (Overall)

Summary caused me to lose a lot of my precious marks. 11/25. I was lyk wad e hell. Chinese teacher angry wif me liaoz. Haiz. Did not do well for both subjects. Playing com now... Btw, tiz morning, Kuk and Gim called me. Saed todae need to go ta skool for checkin e chi paper (9.13 at that time). I tot they were bluffin. But it seemed to me dat they had told e truth.

Anyway, went out about 10 mins later, contemplatin about takin bus/Mrt/taxi. Bus will normally take me 1hr 15mins (plus waitin time, but need not pay money cos i had bus pass) while Mrt will take me about 55mins (plus waitin time again, but need to pay $0.75 for e mrt ride). Taxi will of course be e fastest, about 35mins (plus waiting time, BUT need to pay >$15.00 cos I lived in Sengkang. Desolated and Isolated. Mebbe). So Mrt appeals to me. Of cos i needed to take bus after alightin at little India Mrt.

9.55am upon reaching Little India. No chioce. Took a taxi. Cost me $4.80. But faster than e bus. Saved about 10 mins. So dats how I went to school todae...

2004-10-14T11:35:00.000+08:00

Hi. Haiz. One more paper to freedom. Aw has got his. He iz now playin YuRi's RevEnGe WiF Zi XIaN. HE IZ SLACKIN LYK HEAVEN LOR. Haiz. Goin to eat Fish & Chips for lunch although it costs $4.50...

2004-10-11T13:34:00.000+08:00

Todae waz ok. Juz dat sum ppl did not take e chinese paper 1 and scored 0, but of course not counted lah. One fine example iz Alvin Aw. Having e privilege to play runescape while we were busy checkin e dictionary, scribbling on e paper and comin out of 2D with a "sore hand".

Broke record again. 43 mins to reach home. Firstly, e bus drivers of 74 and 163 drove e bus lyk a bullet. Secondly, when i alight from 74, 163 came juz after.

Friday still got 1 more paper. Dead already...

2004-09-28T16:09:00.000+08:00

Haiz. Alvin Aw's oral presentation seems ok. Worried about mine. Juz finish readin chap 4 for chi, unlyk sum ppl exepted from chi and playin runescape instead. Haiz...

Looking Forward to Better Days

Who stole my kukies from the kukie pot?

2004-09-27T15:41:00.001+08:00

Hi. Mugging time, unlyk sum ppl, saturday: watch cartoon in e morning, sleep in e afternoon and play runescape at night.
Haiz. His chinese damn pro.

Btw, broke record todae. Took 45 mins to reach home purely by bus. My fastest time was 50 mins. Took 74 home. Crowded lyk wad lor. den alight at upp thomson rd about 12 mins later and took bus 163 which arrived 10 secs later. Upon reaching yio chu kang rd, I took bus 86 which was travelling behind bus 163. I hate to walk the 300m and so, i choose to take bus 86 which only requires me to walk less than 100m. However, e travelling time iz longer by a few mins. 45 mins. Siaoz.

Studying chi now, gtg bb..........................................................................................................

PS. Aw and Kuk will lyk this. Btw, four plus me, five people coming ta my home on 15 Oct, Wth. I haf only one com lor. Btw, Wei Lun got a crystal Xbox. He signed up e Max-online thing. Wth... Aw iz so jealous. He oso wan an X-box.

2004-09-24T17:58:00.000+08:00

Hi. Got pissed off by some cookies. They slipped out of my hand lor and broke into pieces. Wth. Cookies are very vulnerable and fragile in a sense that it crumbles once force iz applied to it. Crap.

Mrp: 41.6. Overall: 74.46/80. Haiz
yc got 80/80. So pro lor. but nvm, my score was not as bad as i thought. Exempted from 2 subjects: same as last year, ma and sci.

Looking Forward to Better Days.

2004-09-10T20:34:00.000+08:00

Hi. Came back from the sunflower competition. Managed to achieve a certificate of participation. Not bad right? Anyway, the 3rd drill (I think) retest was yesterday. Wei Lun happened to ask his senior, or his sir, about the test. He told us that almost all the sec 2s have passed the test. Wished that chong chen had passed it too...

2004-09-04T13:16:00.000+08:00

Hi. Gotta go back to school on Mon to collect my worksheets and assignments. Haiz. Btw, Jin Xiang got a silver for SMO. Clap, clap.

I don't think that I would get an A2 for english. I am not being pessimistic, but it is unachievable. the oral test won't give me marks. I think I would get a B3, or worst case senario, a B4.

I don't know what to do now. Study sci or practise on my english language, chinese language? Wondering how Gim Thia and Alvin Kuk would say after the maths retest today...

2004-09-03T21:07:00.000+08:00

Hi. Today was damn sianz. Sick. Heard that Ming Wei represented me for debate. Haiz. No ace points for me for debate. But still ok lah. 16/20 ace points. Just another 4 points from portfolio will fit in nicely.

Very tired...

Recieved my progress report from zhi guang todae. First time to his home. Shocked when I got 49/100 for english. den saw smth..9/100 for one of e tests. Xia Dao. wth. I called Gim Thia to confirm the marks and he told me that everybody scored either 9 or 10 for that section. ok.

Hi. One day and so many messages on my tagboard. Haiz. Siaoz lor. And somemore they were sarcastic messages that come to congratulate me about you-know-what. Nvm. Todae we recieved our history paper. Surprised to get a 20. First iz chia jone, 23/30, then ming yueng, 22/30, then Hun Sheng 21/30. The last one iz me. (Ms Sim said there were 4 people who scored 20 and above). Gim Thia requested for me to stay back to teach him maths. Haiz. Tml, I need to teach him. Btw, debate tml. Gotta go and prepare for it...

May not be coming tml, cause I may be sick. A bit of sore throat today, along with cough...

Hi. One day, and so many messages appeared in my tagboard. Erpz. Siao lar. And most of them are sarcastic ones, congratulating me about you-know-what. Gotta do debate liaoz. Tml iz debate for me. Haiz...

2004-08-31T20:28:00.000+08:00

Hi. Teacher's Day celebration today. It was quite fun and interesting. Handed up my camp reflections today. Wondering what Ms Sim would say. Went to Primary School with Jie Han and Da Xian. Jie Han's primary school was a few blocks away from my primary school, Maha Bodhi School.

Da Xian and I saw many Sec 1 students today, from Chinese High, at Maha Bodhi School. I think is the IP programme that attracted them. At least 20++. Last year, there were few Maha Bodhi students opting for Chinese High. Only six for my level.

I watched the Primary School's concert and I was bored. A feeling of extreme lameness overwhelmed me. The songs were damn childish. Sad. Anyway, I played xiangqi with my friends and, of course, I trashed them. Chinese Chess Club, or in short, CCC, had played with me a lot of times. I had practise but I lost everytime, cos they were damn pro.

Yeah, a guy from I think primary 3 or 4 played xiangqi with me. He was quite good. He knows every move quite well. I tried to use shi4 jiao3 pao4 to trick him. Obviously, he was pro. I was in a difficult position after a few moves. At last, I lost. You know what?

I lost by a shuang1 pao4 jiang1. What the hell... I was so furious lor. How could I lose to a pri 3 or 4 guy? Some more it was a shuang1 pao4 jiang1. I know Alvin Aw would tease me again. But dun tell chee suan, or I would have a damn hard time again...

Someone at Maha Bodhi School asked me to play xiangqi with him and I came to know that he was in Xiang qi club, from Chung Cheng High, and obviously formerly a Maha Bodhi Primary student. I was interested. I concentrated my first match with him, and managed a draw. Both of us had shi4 xiang4 quan2 and 1 che1 or chee. He argued that he had 1 more bing1. But I sell my chee in exchange with his bing1. Then I told him to win me with 1 chee. haha. He admitted is a draw.

The second match i used my once very familiar move, the shi4 jiao3 pao4. Btw, he started first in the first game and I played with him (shun4 pao4). In the second match, he got stuck for about 20 seconds. He said: "Shi4 jiao3 pao4 ah...szzzz..." I don't think he knows how to move. He used a fan3 gong1 ma3 to counter my shi4 jiao3 pao4. On and on, after about 30 moves, I was in a difficult position. Although our zi3 li4 or rather our pieces were same. However, my positionings were not as well as his.

I lost the second match as well as the shuang1 pao4 jiang1. Crying..over them...

2004-08-30T16:50:00.001+08:00

Hi. Just came back from school. Need to complete the reflection for the sec 2 camp. Wished that Ms Sim will not mind. However, its teacher's day tml. A bit worried. Going back to my primary school tml. Learnt a lesson today.
I will be serious in my work from now on (just like last year), especially the exams are round the corner. Gotta work harder...

2004-08-30T16:50:00.000+08:00

2004-08-29T20:56:00.000+08:00

Hi. Doin english...Alvin Aw did those worksheets faster than I had expected. He was out the whole afternoon, and he managed to do the same amount of exercises as me. Did science too, but haven't paste notes yet. Tml is the debate thing. Its topic 6 if I am not wrong. But I wanna prepare for it, in case it is topic 5. Gotta go...Cannot judge a book by its cover, Looking forward to better days...

2004-08-27T19:33:00.000+08:00

Hi. Didn't post blog for a long time. The camp was alright nad quite challenging. It would have been better if the high elements were higher and more challenging. The rain on the night of the second day of the camp was not really a problem to Alvin, Shi Wei, Zong Ying and me. We even played tai tee there. Only a few water droplets filtered through the cover sheet of the tent. What i was afraid of was the spiders and ants in the tent.

Other than that, everything was ok. The food was commendable. Had a few arguments with Alvin Kuk...

Won the battle in Literature. I had little confidence that i could trash my opponent. Eventually, I scored a 21/25 for Lit. My best score ever. Rose up hope for my english. Geography was ok. Scored 22/30. Pleaded with Ms Yap for that half mark. Went to the teacher's table for at least 4 times. Requested for that 1/2 mark from Qs 14, 15, 16, 17. Finally, i got it from qs 17. Phew.

Sunflower was growing very tall and the flowers bloomed. Had stomach ache... Went to toilet for 4 times within thirty mins...

Hi. I have competition later at 1.30pm. I need to go every sunday. Packing my things now, in preparation for the Sec 2 camp. Btw, Gim Thia had apologised and admitted his mistake because he was too agitated at the time he wrote his message. It had become a complian board, never a tag board. Sigh. I just hope that the war will end.

However, it iz not easy to settle this matter. Seems impossible to me. CC kept on using 'that guy', 'this guy' etc. This means and shows that he still have not leave me alone.

But i won't retailiate. Try to be calm, as what alvin said. Getting tired. Gotta go and pack. bye.

2004-08-20T20:08:00.000+08:00

Gim Thia, juz leave us alone. Don't interfere. Thnx.

2004-08-19T20:11:00.000+08:00

Hi. Very weary. Sianz.

2004-08-18T20:57:00.000+08:00

Finally. Relieved dat i scored 35/40 for maths and 65/90 for chinese compo. Heave a sigh of relieve after dat distraster effect on my after e release of the english marks. Still not satisfied with my maths. 12*4=24. I could make such stupid mistake that even a primary 2 could solve it.

wad e hell...
anyway, this morning, i took e wrong bus. I took 74 to school, at exactly 6.40.58 am at Ang Mo Kio central. Then, two 74 buses overtook the bus. At adam road, another 74 overtook my bus. wad e hell... 4 74 buses together...

And my bus was e last one. Wei Lun got off the leading bus, followed by Zhen Jie, who I think took the third bus, then followed by me, who took the last bus or rather the first bus before Marymount Rd.

Hoped that all my subjects will get A1 to pull up my Eng...

2004-08-09T12:30:00.000+08:00

Hi. Weiqi competition yesterday and the day before. Team basis, 4 people in a grp and 1 of them is a reserve. Chun Rui was my grp's team captain. I won the first match with river valley high. However, my senior, chun rui and my junior, zhen yang, lost. So the score was 1:2. Overall, we lost the first match. The second match was 'fei'. Teck Wye sec was an easy target for us. So we won with a wonderful score of 3:0. We took down the second match as well, trashing our junior team (Team C), with a score of 3:0. (Chinese High has Team A to F, I was in Team F). Therefore, our overall score was 2:1, and I won 3 matches in a row.

On Sunday, I lost three matches (7 matches, and this was after the 6th one). It was kind of lame. Won three matches on Saturday and lose three on Sunday. Team Captain, Chun Rui, was furious and commanded me to win the last match. The last match was easy as we trashed RI 3:0. We were 2nd runner-up , winning 4 matches out of 7. The first and second were my seniors, chinese high teams. For Xiangqi, Alvin Aw lost four matches on the second day...haha...but his team were also 2nd runner-up.

gotta study for tests...

2004-08-04T16:18:00.000+08:00

Hi. Xiangqi-lose to ikan babi and mingwei, but still win a few matches, after the "hyper-inflation" when I lost more than 20 matches on xiangqi and weiqi consecutive. Trashed my three weiqi juniors after degrading to grp B. Prepare to win evry one in grp B, so as to remain my position in grp A.
History and Geography test tml...
Kept me busy...

2004-08-02T17:48:00.000+08:00

Hi. Eng test tml and eng expository essay to hand up. Two tests on three days later. Failed malay spelling. I got all the ejaan correct...but the sentence struture gave me a total of 0 points, which gave me 15/33 marks.
Horrible... Alvin kuk and I kept on 'niaoing' ikan Aw, since malay...er...is "our favourite subject". Came up with a sentence...itu pendek ikan Aw. We were so mad at Alvin Aw that we came out with this sentence...
No chioce...i noe...nvm...
Read up on Hitler...dunno why i haf some kind of respect of him...some force that kept me...ahhhh...dunno wad e hell happened...
tests sucks...
gtg...bb...

2004-07-31T11:31:00.000+08:00

Hi. Today's finals for project's day was horrible. Cheong said that we did not take it seriously enough. Think that we get B. We shifted the main subject for 5cps from sci to IH. Cause we had very little cps on IH and Sci was easy to get cps.

Still have eng compo to do....

2004-07-23T18:44:00.000+08:00

Sick...37.1 degree celsius. Before EP3, i measured my temperature -- 36.8 degree celsius and it seems alright. This morning, i had some kind of dunno-what-the-hell-it-is-illness. My lungs were like, very painful when i cough. Nevertheless, i still attended school and EP3. Next week, there is a high possibility of a chinese common test. Sianzation overwhelmed me. Still in the process of doing my project's day...

2004-07-21T16:44:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Today was ok. Watched 'The Rise of Hitler', not bad, but battle scenes interest me more. At 9.01am, we stopped watching the movie and headed nowhere. Nobody came, and we just went to the audi at 10++am. Then, we kind of got bored and went back to class to play xiang qi. at 11.57am, we then went to the KKH. So that's our racial harmony day. Interesting, isn't it?!

2004-07-18T19:24:00.000+08:00

Hi. Very busy. Therefore, i am going to sum up today's and yesterday's events. Got competition, weiqi competition. Yesterday, 2pm to 6.30 pm. Today, 10.00pm to 5.30pm. Can u believe it? Yesterday, we had morning jog. At 5.55am, it rained heavily. so, i thought there wasn't any morning jog. I continued sleeping. Zhi Guang told me that I must reach the 'small garden' at 8.30am the day before. I sms Zhi Guang and Gim Thia to confirm that there is no morning jog. However, neither of them replied. I began to worry. What if there is morning jog? As i was about to arrive school, Gim Thia called me and said that the cheers were over and they were heading towards the tracks. What the hell. Upon arrival at school, i rushed to the tracks and were relieved that they had not started running. Er...so, i didn't went for the cheers...

After measuring the height and taking photographs of the sun flower, I went home and managed to revise for the chinese test for one and a half hour, before going to the 2pm competition. I lost my first opponent by one seed. That 'lu xin' again lar. I was so frustrated and thrashed the next two opponents. After the three games, I went to MacDonalds with another friend. After which, I went home from Braddell MRT.

Today, I managed to win another two opponents and the last two games, i lost. The second game, I won just one seed. The last game was...lousy. I lost by two seeds. So, I won 4 matches out of 7. I went home after that. Walked three hundred metres to Toa Payoh Bus Interchange and took 163 home. It was quite fast, but the waiting time was horrible. One guy in front of me actually complained that he had waited from 6.00 to 6.25, 25 mins. Fortunately, when I reached the bus interchage, I only need to wait for 10 mins before boarding the bus.

Now, I am going to do my MRP and revise my chinese test. bb.

2004-07-15T17:35:00.000+08:00

Hi all. I just realised that I had a weiqi competition this saturday and sunday. What the hell. MRP, Projects Day, Chinese Tests which constitute 10% of the final score. I need to pia liaoz. Hope that Mrs. Wong would help me by extending the dateline for mrp. By the way, she haven't returned me my lit review...

Gonna die...chinese tests was not easy. at least 50 idioms plus IP notes and more than 200 words to learn. Projects Day was not easy too. Wished that nick loh and three of my members would forgive me. I would request to them...

2004-07-14T21:06:00.000+08:00

Hi all. have not post for at least 2 weeks because of Mrp and Project's Day. Zhi Guang told me that I got into the finals. Unbelievable. Anyway, i have also included a new song...

2004-06-29T21:37:00.000+08:00

Hi. Today is ok. Little homework, so plenty of time for ace and mrp. Still struggling with mrp. Haiz. Anyway, i did a book review and the first part of mrp.
By the way, we would have swimming tommorow. Alvin will have trouble during swimming. Hate swimming, so troublesome...

2004-06-28T20:38:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Heavy flu, a pile of tissues papers in front of me. First day at school after holidays were not so bad after all. There were two malay lessons today and it was quite interesting. Went to see mrs wong. Still had a lot of difficulties with mrp. Plan to hand in by next mon, for mrs wong to have a look at it. Damn that flu...

2004-06-22T11:24:00.000+08:00

Hi. Sorry for not posting for quite a number of days. Been busy with homework, ace and MRP. MRP really sucks. Found very little sources and therefore, make it difficult to write the last part of the MRP. Homework was okay for now...72% completed. Yesterday, I went to school to meet with chong chen, alvin and gim thia to check our homeworks. Upon arriving at school at 9.35 am, I found that all three of them were already there.

When the library was about to close, at about 12.00pm, they decided to go to anyone of our home to finish our homework. chong chen and alvin said that we could not go to thier houses. Gim thia's com was also not working. Therefore, it seems that my house was "available" after all.

Going to Sengkang from school was about an hour. So, we took 852 and transferred to 86. (Actually, I had wanted gim thia to take 86 to reach yio chu kang mrt station so that it would save quite a lot of time. By the way, gim thia lives at bukit gombak and if he were to take the lrt, NE line, EW line and chang to NS line, then it would cost a lot of time.) We went to a nearby foodcourt to have lunch. Then, they went to my house to do project work and homework. At about 5.40 pm. Gim Thia then claimed that he had a maths tuition (I think) and decided to take a taxi home. Alvin also want to go since it would take approximately 1h and 20 min to reach home...

2004-06-09T22:11:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Two days ago, I watched the harry potter movie. Not quite up to my standard since many of the happenings were not described and shown in the movie itself.
For today, I went to school to meet Gim Thia to do the manual and realised that the library and com lab were not opened. So, we decided to go to my home.All the way from Sengkang and all the way back. Met Kah Yik on the way and told him to follow us as he did not know how to go to Boon Keng MRT station. Therefore, I decided to take 67 instead of the normal 74 or 852. That time was ..er...raining cats and dogs. Therefore everything outside was blur. So, I had mistaken a stop as the little-India-MRT-station bus stop. Therefore, we got out of 67 and realised that I was wrong. Ok, so I flagged down 170 later and took that bus to little-India-MRT-station bus stop. Then, we took the North-East Line towards Punggol. Two stops to Boon Keng and Kah Yik got off. gim Thia and I had our lunch at compassvale mall (Sengkang). After that, we took LRT to my home and we did the manual.
During that time, I heard from Gim Thia that some concillors and people from other sec 2 consortiums knew my name. What the...
Looking forward to better days...

2004-06-07T15:26:00.000+08:00

Hi all. I am going to talk mainly about yesterday's competition. Got 4th for junior category. Haiz. I figured out that it was not good enough. Won 6 out of 7 matches. Yesterday, when reaching chinese garden, I found that I needed to play with lu xin -- one of the most prominent figure in this competition. By the way, she obtained 2nd in this competition. However, I was not scared of her. Easy to trash, I said to myself. Wen wei, one of the best weiqi player in sec 2, wanted me and told me to trash her like shit, by giving me a few tips. Ok. So, I played with her. I was winning with a big piece of land. Then, when she figured out that she could not win me, she launched an attack into that piece of land. Of course, I was able to kill her. After a while, it became obvious that I was winning a lot. However, due to the fact that we played very slowly, the teacher gave us a clock with five minutes for each of us. She had tried to escaped and had wasted much of my precious time on thinking how to stop her from escaping. Then, I lost, because of time.
Damned.
I lost...
I was like, what the hell. How could I lose to her. So, yesterday's first match I had lost. Then, out of anger, I trashed the next two opponents. For the last match, I faced my junior who won the same matches as me. I was very nervous as he was the best weiqi player in the whole of sec 1. We both started off as trying to "kill" each other. However, i still won finally as he was not as good as me. For individual, I got 4th. For the group (there were group prizes), due to the fact that we performed well, with wen wei being 1st, xiong huai being 3rd and me being 4th, Chinese High had clinched first for the group's performance. Senior section was wonderful too, with 1st, 2nd and 3rd belonging to chinese high, as well as 1st for the group's performance.
Watching the Harry Potter movie later...

2004-06-05T22:38:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Won 3 weiqi matches out of 3 todae. Qui ping pei would be in our hands. Easy enough. Trashing opponents like hell. But tml is going to be a big problem. I have to play matches with my fellow sec 2 people. Haiz. Getting prepared for tml. Gotta get 1st, 2nd or 3rd. We are too strong and no school could beat us. Therefore, we needed to zi xiang chan sha, cause our scores are very high... Todae, all the way from sengkang lrt to mrt to chinese garden. about an hour and a half. Sianz. so far away, in the stupid chinese garden. Haiz. Telephoned alvin aw -- toking crap, saying that i was going to go to his house in boon lay. Gotta prepare for tml. Saturday and sunday gone. Nevertheless, i am better off than alvin aw -- the whole of last week back to school for training(11.00 am to about 5.00pm) and another four days starting from monday, of competition. Gd luck alvin...

2004-06-04T11:48:00.000+08:00

Hi all. For homework, Alvin Aw said that I did half of everything. For example, I did 60% of the comprehension, 66.666666666666% of the word substitution exercise and another 25% of the guidebook for english. Haha. Then, I completed 30% of 3 guo for chinese, 45% for maths and 100% for science. Nice figures, isn't it? Haha. Anyway, alvin said that I did things awkwardly. Perhaps...Maybe... Needed to complete the word substitution exercise today, as well as the 40% left of the comprehension today. I hate that word substitution exercise, which cost me a lot of my precious time -- 4 exercises in an hour. 30 exercises in 7 and a 1/2 hrs. Don't expect me to complete that in one go. Probably will die in 4 hrs, of...er...suffocation. Therefore, you can see my homework being spread out over a large scale. Finishing the comprehension was also not an easy task either. The three similarities questions and the summary held me up. Therefore, I push them aside and went on to do a portion of 3 guo. This holiday is so boring. Quiping pei competition is coming. Gotta work harder. Wei Lai expects me to get 1st or 2nd for lower sec...

2004-05-31T14:40:00.000+08:00

Hi all. sorrie for not postin yesterday. competition. Weiqi competition. i will tok about saturday's APMOPS.
Arrived at school at 10.30. Got a bit mixed up wif e time and i waz wonderin if dat waz e correct time to be in school as there waz no sign of alvin aw, hun sheng and kang jie.
Searched for them in the staffroom.
Not a trace.

Fished out my handphone and contacted yuan chang to ask for kang jie's number. He told me he dunno kang jie's number. Nvm waz wad i said, as i spotted hun sheng and kang jie juz outside e general office. Alvin Aw den emerged from one of the pillars. Zhuo zai xin xu, i think.
Later, we carried e trophies out of the general office...
...placed them on a trolley...
and set off for HCJC in mrs chai's car. Quite squeezy and alvin aw niao me by sayin the word squash.
I acted as if nothin had happened...
Anyway, we arranged the prizes as soon as we arrived at HCJC auditorium...
Hun sheng and Alvin aw begin to talk about dragonflies -- the bad things about it, how to kill a dragonfly if it ever got too close to u...
Furious.
Wished i waz wei lai, with bulgin muscles, so dat i could beat them up. (dat waz wad wei lai always do, resortin to violence) But i waz kind enuf to ignore their comments. Anyway, after finishing laying out the prizes, we acted as dummy prize winners, showin the 'real' prize winners the procedures of collectin the prize.

After dat, i went out of the audi and toked wif wei lai and handled part of his job. At e same time, alvin aw and hun sheng head for home.
I had ep3 later on. therefore, i waz goin wif wei lai to bugis junction, where our weiqi trainin venue iz. Thruthfully, i shld er...had more cip hrs dan e others as i stayed until 5.05, wen i dun think dat anyone had stayed for so long a time, except for concillours.
ate snth at the buffet and toked about guns and soldiers wif wei lai...
After dat, as we head for opp HCJC bus stop. We met zhi guang, yu guang and a few other councillors. Yu guang grabbed me by e shoulder and claimed dat i had locked him up wif a few others in one part of HCJC audi. Of course i denied dat and argued dat it waz chia jone. Anyway, i managed to resist and break out from his grip.

So, dat waz all for APMOPS. den, wei lai and i went to bugis junction at 5.46, where the traning had already started (5.00). Trashed a girl from raffles girl's in weiqi, which i had not done b4. So, dats all for saturday.

Sunday, i went for the weiqi competition at 1.00. I had taken 136 from sengkang and transferred to 80 at Kovan MRT station. I waz supposed to alight at Bugis junction and i ended up at Tanjong Pagar bus stop (overshoot), juz after china town. Damned. dat waz already 12.48. (Dun blame me cause dat waz e first time i had trvalled to bugis junction in dat way. Normally i reach bugis junction via MRT. But tis time i waz juz tryin to reach there through another method.) And further more, the bus 80 from the opp side has juz gone. So, i waited for e next bus at e opp side. I thought of takin the taxi, but i discarded the idea as i thought of its cost.
So, at 1.01, i took e bus 80 and i knew i waz bound to be late. btw, i waz late. Fortunately, e bus waz quick enuf and took me to bugis junction by weavin in and out of e traffic and rushin past traffic lights. I arrived at the bus stop 15 mins past 1.

Fortunately, e competition had juz started and i won the first match as easy as abc.
At e competition itself, i had scored a 4 out of 6 and lost to wei lai and tian yu, both my seniors. Anyway, i got 10th and waz not so elated about it. gotta work even harder in the next competition which is next week.

Gtg, bye...

2004-05-29T23:13:00.000+08:00

I wld not sae anything more todae cause its already 11.17 pm, to be exact. But i juz wanna quote smth from chong chen's blog "But before leaving yuan chang acted cute and got all the girls laughing... I should not elaborate more, but maybe that cheered the girls up and made them more 'excited' about the tour."
Dats all. i will be tokin about todae's exhuasting job tml...

2004-05-26T18:59:00.000+08:00

Yoz. Bad results todae. MRP 23.8/40, History test 12/22. Damn.
Best result case scenario = 2.00
Worst result case scenario = 2.6++
Warcraft shld be e reason.
Wonderin about term 3...
Results.
Currently improvin relationships wif chong chen -- somethin dat cannot be seen wif e naked eye. Facin problems on e tremendous hw to be done during holidays.
Currently, i noe wad i m doin...

2004-05-24T17:05:00.000+08:00

Yoz. Todae waz quite horrible. Durin recess, i sat between alvin and chong chen but remained in silence.
Nothin to tok about.
A feelin of great lameness overwhelmed me. (quote taken from alvin aw)
Hw waz still a damn big prob. Gotta finished my compre for eng todae. Anyway, in xiangqi, i won mingwei by 2-nil and won another match wif huang pei. Had no chance to challenge alvin aw.
Sianz...
Computer games - finished campaigns and custom maps...
So, it becomes borin. Warcraft, Unreal Tournament, RTCW, FIFA, Simcity ...blah...blah...blah.
Hw iz very borin...
Dunno wad to do...
Rottin at home iz apparently e best thing to do...now...

2004-05-23T13:40:00.000+08:00

Yoz. Todae izant as gd as yesterday.
Rotting.
At home.
Although there iz much hw to be completed by next wk. Xiangqi waz not as gd as i had expected. The tide waz not in my favour. Gota little prob wif shi jiao pao. Anyway, I had done nothing todae. In the morning, I woke up at 6.30 am to go to school. Arrivin at my destination at 8.00++. Not many pep in our class went to the finals of the chinese debate. I was the timer for the event.
Horrible.
Got the damn timing wrong.
FINALS leh...
1 min 34 secs -- dat waz wad i was suppose to sae, but i had some misconceptions and 1 min 26 secs waz wad i announced.
8 secs difference.
DOOMED, I thought at first.
Thought dat I waz to be reprimanded for my carelessness.
Preliminary rounds and semi-finals were alright.
But juz FINALS!!!...
Timing waz also like shit.
Got confused after dat stupid incident...
The bell waz not heard clearly and distinctly, a bit mumbled.
Damned...

2004-05-20T17:27:00.000+08:00

Hiyoz. Pathetic results -- 15/25 for lit, 52/70 for chi compo, not wad i had expected. Vent my anger and frustrations on alvin. (sorry alvin, i didn't mean to do it.) Results for xiangqi waz damned horrible. Huangpei won me, both alvins too. Seems like shi jiao pao not so offensive after all. Very frustrated todae. Borrowed Forfeit n Boneyard from the library. Gotta improve my eng, cause its very lousy. Ace -- for dis wk and next wk. Sometimes, i dunno wad cc iz doin...

2004-05-19T20:56:00.001+08:00

Hi all. Todae waz a terrible day after a horrible show and tell presentation. I felt dat i had done too little and i was the first one to present, unfortunately. Doin my phamplet now, so dat I can chug up some points for my oral presentation. Hop dat i would get a 13. Goin to appeal to mrs chai for another presentation. But from wad i c, it was not easy. Anyway, I had wanted to trash alvin 01 todae with a score of 9-1 in xiangqi. But it turns out dat he had went home to research on the shi jiao pao, and had lost to me by 1 with a score of 4.5 to 5.5. I had only won him by a small margin. yo, sianz. Prepared to trash him by 5-nil tml...

2004-05-18T20:42:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Fatigue after completing a pile of hw.
Lame waz wad alvin 01 sae todae. I felt e same too. Sleepy and worried.
For the presentation.
Hoped dats its not me. Very sianz after e sabbaticals, cause surely got a lot of hw. Doing it now. oh yeah, i forgot to bring a news to u all. I THRASHED alvin 01 by a wonderful score of three-nil in xiangqi todae -- something i had not done since the beginning of last year. pao er ping si iz still e best move ever cause it is damn offensive...

2004-05-13T20:13:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Todae, Alvin 2d01 went to my house at blk 138, complaining dat e trip waz damn long. 1hr and 05 mins -- yah, its a looooong journey. Passed through upper thompson, Ang mo kio and yio chu kang b4 passing through Jalan Kayu and TPE. He got 'sick' during the trip and I simply juz laughed at him. Yeah -- dat waz e time dat i arrived at skool in e morning. Btw, I asked him to choose any bus he wanted to take (I can take any bus home) and we boarded 852. Passed through zhen jie's, Wei Liang's, Johnathon Lee's, wei lun's and zhi guang's houses b4 reaching my home. Desolated and isolated waz wad alvin described about my house. Anyway, we played xiangqi, UT, and ROC. He doesn't like playin games like counterstrike, unreal tournament and halo -- those one player map, holding a machine gun/ rocket launcher...blah...blah...blah. Therefore, i juz showed him how bian tai dat UT waz in God mode. So, at about 5 he went home after using Arthas to wahck and create havoc n e undead base in e human's last mission...
Firin of rockets were not as easy as I had thought. Tired. Out of e about 8 attempts, I only succeeded once...

2004-05-11T20:52:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Todae iz Fun. With rockets and parachutes. First two missions -- failed, but succeeded the landing of rocket the third and last time. Elated, and quite challengin. Lost to alvin 2d01 in xiangqi 3 times but finally achieved a draw todae. After my weiqi ep3 at 4.30, i went to chinese chess club and listened to the trainer explainin. Quite ok anyway...

2004-05-10T20:27:00.002+08:00

Hi all. Gotta noe zhen jie better todae. Went to his house, along wif wei lun and both alvins, to play Halo. Quite nice and thrilling was e game, but it was juz e controllers dat made me confusin. Once, wen i got invisibility and rocket launcher, he flattened me into a pancake using his tank. dat was e most hilarious thing in his game. Goin to his home was not a mistake, but a valuable experience as i gotta recognise his mother and realised dat zhen jie and i went to the same tuition centre in primary 4, i think. He noes me all tis while, but i forgot about him.(juz like chia-jone wen he forgot about me wen we were in another tuition centre in primary 6.) Lost to him in Halo, even wif e aid of Wei lun and alvin kuk. too pro waz him, to e extent dat nobody cld beat him in the game.

Hi all. After a horrible week of tests and assignemnts, I can finally relax a while. Woke up at 5.30 am. Tired was I. Filled with fatigue. Lame thing was the sports meet. But, no choice as it was compulsory. Anyway, I took 86 bus at 6.16 am. Found that I can take the same bus during weekdays and arrive in school at 7.17. A bit risky, but I can have 15 mins more of sleep evryday. So, I can sleep 5 hrs more per month. Lame. Okay, so as I was sayin, I arrived at school only to see Gim Thia and Hun Sheng toking to each other. Went over and discovered that Alvin 2D01 was not there. (Btw, he told me to rite his name dis way, cause he hates the 'aw') Toked to Gim Thia and he claimed that Alvin 2D01 was there just now with Mr. Tay, or we call him purple cause his name is zixian, or we call him chisuan -- which his english teacher call him when she didn't noe how to pronounce his name. So, I decided to have a massive 'expedition' in search of him. Sec-1-terraces -- No sign of him. Sec-3-and-4-terraces -- Not a trace. Sec-2-terraces -- No. Frustrated was I. Nvm, I sae to myself. So, I hurried back to where Gim Thia was and I stayed there for about one hr toking to him. Then, Alvin 2D01 came and sat down beside me. clenching my fist and ready to give him a punch, I asked him where he went. Blah...blah..blah, he sae and we began toking about hw. Mingwei came, along wif Huangpei. We beagn playing chess and I won Mingwei 2 times. But he won me four times a few days ago. Nvm, can still continue to work harder. So after enduring the 4 hrs, I went to lunch and came home. Wad a 'memorable' day...

Hi all. A bit tired todae after a winning battle with Science and Literature. Finally, I had managed to maintain my standard since I might get C5 to C6 for my History. I had hoped that my goegraphy (not much hope) and literature could pull me up to the surface of the water instead of letting me sink into the bottom of the sea...Conflict is a very "nice" topic...

2004-05-05T17:39:00.000+08:00

Gotta study my tests todae...very busy...

2004-05-03T19:21:00.000+08:00

Hi all. I am er... quite busy after the two tests last week and three tests this week. I managed to squeeze some time out for the posting of my blog. Anyway, I had just realised that I had not been posting anything for two weeks already (reminder from Alvin Kuk and Alvin Aw). They are very eager to hear from me...
So, there is a stupid virus that restarts computers and it spreads when one gets on the internet. Lucky was I not to on the computer yesterday or my computer might had got infected as well. But, never mind since we can download the "medicine" to "cure" our coms on the internet, before it is too late. Anyway, my group had presented on Animal Farm todae and Ming Wei thinks that I was slacking. I think most of you think so lah. I cannot deny that...but...er...at least I had contributed something which includes the comparison of the Animal Farm to the Russian Revolution. at least I read up on the Russian Revolution. (I was ...er...hope Alvin Aw....does not see this....obviously better that him.)
So, bye. Gotta revise for me tests...

Oh yeah, before i forget, Gim Thia reprimanded me as i had sms him some unforgivable things...

Hi all. I am quite elated to opt for rocketry for the sabbaticals, along with Alvin Aw, Wei Lun, Gim Thia and a few others. I think that Gim Thia is trying to be funny, by saying that he wants to go for rocketry because Alvin Aw decided to opt for that particular sabbatical. Expectedly, when Gim Thia relayed this message to Hun Sheng, Hun Sheng said that Alvin Aw and Gim Thia were "gays". Never mind. I pretended to know nothing. (Joking, joking) Han Lin is going to go for the golf course which cost 360 bucks. I dunno how he will go to find money for this...

Hi all. Today is my English Functional Writing Test and I am quite anxious about it due to the fact that I did not really follow the format and example given. However, overall, I think that I had done quite well. For my literature, I think I might fail in that assignment because firstly, I wrote too little and secondly, I did not really emphasize on the main points. I felt bored too cause of the troubles that I am facing...

2004-04-16T19:57:00.000+08:00

Hi all... I am feeling kind of depressed at the moment due to some problems. However, life has to go on, right? I lost two xiang qi matches to Alvin Aw today and felt that I needed to trash him by monday with a score of 5 - 2, but I knew it was impossible. He is very strong and I could not possibly beat him in the game. Anyway, I am in Weiqi club, and not in Xiangqi club. Sigh...I hoped that I could win him at least 20 matches this year. By the time, he could have won 200 matches...

We have many tests next week and I am very worried about the difficulty of the tests. I hope that it would be alright...

2004-04-15T17:59:00.000+08:00

Hi all. I know that I have not been posting on my blog for at least a week (I assume). It has been quite a busy week with the submission of MRP going on as well as the heavy-weightaged chinese test. I have finally known how to do the literature review for submission a few days ago. However, when I passed Mrs Cheryl Wong on wednesday, which was the dateline for the submission of the literature review, the introductory chapters and the well-refined proposal, she did not browse through it, instead, she had confidence that I would do well in this section, because she assured me that it would be okay. Apparently, like everyone else, I was very afraid that I would fail in this section of the MRP paper. Without any choices left, I handed it up rather unwillingly.

The Chinese test was a big problem for us. I think many of us agreed that the test was too difficult. Actually, Ms Chui should have teached the lessons more effectively. We were unsure at times. In addition, we had forgotten what the other five groups had presented on chinese, using powerpoint. Therefore, we had done quite badly in this test. I had expected her to give the 构词 of some 词语, like what our sec 1 chinese teacher did. Surprisingly, she did not give any, but the test was still hard enough to make us mad. Gim Thia said that he had 20 questions wrong, just right after the test. Initially, I thought that he was just kidding, but after a solemn expression on his face, I could confirm that he had really did very badly in this test. He claimed that his mind was a blank when he did the test. I think he 临时抱佛脚 and did not sleep well in the night before...

I felt that I had not done well in my English Composition, due to the fact that I was thinking about the chinese test (I hope Mrs Chai don't see this) for half the period. However, I was better than the group opposite me. I wrote about 3 pages, better than Han Lin and Wei Lun who wrote about 2 pages each, apparantly building castles in the air or talking for half the period. Wei Lun told me that he wrote about 'dragonflies' in his composition, as well as 'garoupas'. Many people had written about fishing in their composition, including me, gim thia and wei lun. (pls do not get angry alvin aw, I m juz statin e facts only) Gotta go...bye...低潮...

2004-04-07T17:17:00.000+08:00

Hi. I finally consulted Mrs Cheryl Wong for my MRP. She said that my proposal is okay, but the topic is not relevant enough. Therefore, I needed to make some ammendments to it. I am still worrying about my lit review for MRP because there were few people who analyse war songs and poems of the American Revolution.

Phew, I had finally passed NAPFA test todae including a score of 190 for standing board jump. The passing mark was 186. Tis is the first time I had jumped so far. My jumps were normally between 160 and 175. I could not believe I had passed in this categary. Looking forward to next week's 2.4 km which I think I could pass easily.

Wei Lun showed me a song on Fishes, which made Alvin Aw irate. It has the same tune as the song on "Beasts of England". I still have much more work which has to be done...

2004-04-05T19:07:00.000+08:00

Hi all. I am in a bad mood today. I know that I had not been posting anything on my blog for several days. Desperate people like Gim Thia and Alvin Aw must be reprimanding me. Alright. I did not have much time in these few days since I was drafting my lit review for MRP which is due next week. I found some sources in Ang Mo Kio library, but hoped to find more in Woodlands Regional Library. Today I was hoping to see Cheryl Wong for my MRP. However, due to Alvin Aw playing chess, I needed to wait for him. It was about 2.00pm before we went to see her, but she was not in. We had no choice but to go home. For the whole of last week, we had wanted to see Mrs Wong, but apparantly because of Alvin Aw playing chess again, we visited Mrs Wong at about 2.30 everyday. Of course, I am not denying that I myself had also played chess. What made me angry is that Alvin Aw had made me borrow two useless books for MRP, which I did not read beyond 10 mins. I was in the school library browsing through books and Alvin Aw was hurring me to see Mrs Wong. So, I borrowed those books, thinking that they were good (I had not flipped through the pages one by one yet). I am going to return the books tomorrow, but I am not going o resort to any voilence against Alvin Aw. It has been a hard day for me...

2004-04-01T20:50:00.000+08:00

Hi all. I have not posted anything on my blog for about a week due to some internet problems. A week has passed. I had no really done my ace and my MRP. I also left Mrs Teo CC a bad impression. Time passed so quickly. I will post tomorrow. Bye.

2004-03-25T19:54:00.000+08:00

Hi all. I have just saw chong chen's blog. He said that some people had been spreading rumours about him. I want to clarify that I was not one of them. I want to apologise to him for what I had done. Since the start of term two, I had been neglecting him and calling him his nick. I know that this was wrong. However, he himself had talk a lot of rubbish about me. Just after term one, during aphelion nite, he kept on saying a lot of crap about me. I had already "signed a peace treaty" with him and that night, he broke it. I had no choice but to neglect him and talked with alvin aw about warcraft. He became angrier and started calling me a lot of "dragonflies". That was when i got angrier and we both started a paper war. Now, if chong chen see my blog, he might know what had gone wrong.
Ok. Focus back on studies. There are very little homework these days and I started doing ace for all my subjects. Gotta go...

2004-03-22T11:01:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Yeah, i know that i haven been posting on my blog for a few days. i would like to apologise to gim thia for not posting anything on my blog for about a week. I am still busyin doing my holidays homework and i still has at least four of them left. ok..come back to work. Yesterday, alvin aw and i stayed back to help gim thia to cope with his english and maths respectively. although we helped him for about 45 mins, but then, it was a good experience. I felt that i had achieved the purpose of helping him. Later on, at around 5, i went to the body world exhibition to view the "real" bodies that were on display there. I was quite scaring though, with those figures having thier body cut into halves. However, i still managed to sleep that night, thinking about warcraft! I am going to write the report later. gotta go...

2004-03-19T10:34:00.000+08:00

Hi. I haven't finished my homework yet, but added a few ace points to each subjects. Playing warcraft 3 (reign of chaos) todae. Just completed human campaign. Alvin Aw couldn't believe i completed mission 9 for human campaign (i don't think he complete it without using cheat!) without using cheat. It's not difficult lor -- gather some units and attack. the simplest way is gather some mortar teams, preferably 6, and use the socceress to turn them invisible. Then, using the 6 mortar teams, charge into the enemy's base and destroy their haunted gold mines. The undead would never turn the gold mine haunted again. Therefore, you will have the pleasure of destroying their units and buildings easily... Alright, enough on warcraft 3. As i was saying, i haven't finished my homework and gotta finish them by today...

2004-03-16T20:00:00.000+08:00

Hi, after weiqi competition and chinese sabbaticals, i finally have some time to talk to all of you. It has been a long time since i did not post anything for days (Gim Thia is always "complaining" that i should post daily, but he don't understand...). Lets start off with the chinese sabbaticals. It was rather fun but the problem is that the amount of homework is quite high, with 2 powerpoint presentation and 2 poems to do. All went wrong on the last day, when my group and i presented the wrong thing. We included a subtopic that we needed to talk about in the powerpoint presentation. Due to some people er... "slacking" (sorry to use this word), we did not managed to complete the powerpoint presentation. Of course, the second highest factor is the amount of time that we needed to complete 4 assignments to get cps. What angered me was that out of the seven marks 4 teachers could give(the other three is for attendence), i think i would get an average of 4. The total marks would be divided by 4. That would mean that for every powerpoint presentation or assignment i did, i would get only about 1 cp. Even the maximum number of cps one could get for each of this assignment would be about 1.7 cps.

About the weiqi competition, i won 4 matches out of the total 7. There was 1 mistake that i made. I was careless when i faced my 4th opponent. I made the wrong move, result in a lost. I could not forgive myself for that careless mistake that i made.

Gotta hurry and chalk up some ace points...

2004-03-10T16:17:00.000+08:00

Very cold todae in com lab where i am in now, writing my blog. the chinese sabbacticals r interesting enough exept 1 thing -- hw is quite a lot. We need to mermorize one shi1 (poem) and sing it out without music. this is already quite difficult. then, we have 2 powerpoint presentation to do -- sunyatsen's family members and the movie review. Comparing and contrasting two movies (wo4 hu3 chang2 long2 and ying1 xiong2) was not so difficult. the hardest part is to create one poem for another teacher. yah. before i forget, we have 4 teachers to teach us. we had to either do a powerpoint or poem so that they can give us the cps that we had always "beg" for...bye

Jian Ting:
Today is fun with a lot of fun-filled activities. My 2D classmates and I (except a few councillors in our class) went for dragon boating. I thought that we had gone according to planned. However, we were late by 1/2 hr in the morning. We took a bus to Kallang river at 9.00 am instead of 8.30 am as planned. Therefore, we arrived later by 1/2 hr at the Kallang river. Dragon boating was far more interesting than I had imagined and more fun than I could have expected...

Fun is today's theme. We had learnt how to row (chen chong chen is very sensitive to this word) the boat with about 20 people. The instructors taught us how to paddle the boat so as to apply the maximum force to push the boat forward. a few of us including me, rowed the boat and chanted "Dead Garoupa" in unison. The most dangerous and difficult task was to rest on the side of the boat slowly and steadily and lowering our bodies one by one. The trick to overcome this fear is to lower our bodies at the same time. Once, Johnathan came up too quickly that the boat rocked very fiercely and everyone shouted at him.

Last but not least, we had a race among the six boats. Our group paddled as fast and as hard as we could. We overtaked all of the boats and came in champions. That was a great achievement for my group.

Focus back on the class, chong chen angered me a few times by calling my nick "dragonfly". But Wei Lun took the cake by annoucing that I had ... at the refill water basin. Stupid Potassium Hydroxide. Old phrase: Looking forward to better days...

Todae's weather quite good but Garoupa iz very angry wif me todae because i toked a lot of "Garoupas" things. i thik he's really launching a "full-scale" warfare wif me. however, wif potassium hydroxide as backup for me, Garoupas are too stubborn and frightened to do anything...did some book reviews and article reviews to chalk up some ace points for English and Literature. Still trying to do geog presentation, but i think han lin would slack a bit (but better dan Garoupas)...
P.S. Gotta include some Garoupa Websites...haha

Juz realised dat U Jay iz waging war wif almost evrybody. i decide to be neutral...but more inclined towards U Jay's "enemies"...but i will not gif support to anyone...haha...
That Garoupa iz now having a difficult life now, since potassium hydroxide, with my full support iz having a paper war wif fishes...Garoupa iz gonna be eaten. Wonder how Garoupas can get out of water since they can only live in ponds. he's famous now, since the man from the "Survivor Singapore" even said that he had wanted to catch fish wen surviving on an island...hahaha...gtg now; later den write somemore...
P.S. Garoupa iz gonna haf a "full-scale" war wif me. Hopes he does not read tis...
