ups & downs

2006-04-22T21:04:00.000+08:00

hello.. today we had our cca CIP- music for the community. actually, the community refers to an ah ma with her family only, that is if you exclude YCK symphonic band and SWO. haha. but anw i think we filled up all the seats.

i left my house kind of late but reached school at 11am to realise that there was no francesca and zhi yin. sucks man and luckily tedrid brought down francesca's bass and xiao you rolled zhi yin's bass. i brought along the canon digital SLR along since mrs wong allowed. yupp, and i think the zoom lens rocked.

as usual had trouble bringing my bass up the bus blahblah to sembawang cc.. sian journey and i was wondering why the driver didnt use TPE. he went by CTE instead followed up by SLE. i dont really like the orange and blue hall but since i didnt have a chance to paint it, i shall jolly well shut up.

saw mog.. haha. i cant remember but i think it was before we were going to play, i slowed down or something and i turned behind, wanting to talk to xiao you when i almost fell onto mog, nearly stepping on his shoes. and i was like, shit. mumbled an apology and he said sth that was too soft.

i played a hell lot of wrong notes and pizzed wrongly while trying to catch jien's attention. sighs. i cant continue like that for one more year. i have absolutely no idea of how life will be in band next year. dont ask me, but it is my core cca. tell me anything but i am dead.

then when YCK and SWO were playing, i got quite bored and tried to scratch of the letters of the chair. it was quite funny lar.. but not very nice got got some weird words. somehow sat next to xiao you and i think i made a lot of noise cos mrs wong was giving me you-must-be-quiet face cos she was two empty chairs away..

tried to catch jien's attention and she was smiling at me when i was grinning at her.. so it was like everytime she want playing i would give this spastic grin. then when they were presenting the exchange gifts or sth, i started giving broad spastic grins to jien but if i didnt see wrongly mog smiled back. all because they lie in the same plane. how confusing eh?

went to the toilet after the 'concert' and was shortly joined by mrs wong who claimed to be in an explosive stage. Mount st helens was my first thought. then boarded the bus back to dhs. the stupid uncle was bullying francesca lorh. he grabbed my bass up the bus as though it was a pig about to be sent to the abattoir lor. then francesca said she didnt need his help but he was like.. still took her bass up and was ranting about how fast and efficient he was. and before we left dhs, jien wasnt too happy about me letting the uncle bringing up my bass. afterall, its not my fault, i dont want to get scolded for nothing. but haiz, bus drivers are simply bus drivers i guess..

i am going to fall sick soon. all because of the stupid chicken rice chilli i ate with xiao you yesterday. but i still feel like eating chicken rice now. YES, at 2115hr. dont roll your eyes.

2006-04-21T09:36:00.000+08:00

updating a bit before going off to school.. today is speech day, so there are no lessons. hmmm, i am staying in band for year 5. yeah. which means i cant be in any sports cca. and i am thinking of joining debates as my second cca because i think debates will help in me doing general paper and according to mun yi, there will be debates next year. if i really join debates, then erm, i cant join art club or art related ccas.. i doubt of their existence too anw.

and today is nomination day. a smaller and not so important version of the upcoming general election. i dont want anybody to nominate me cos i dont think i would want to sacrifice extra time going off for meetings which might turn out time consuming and unproductive. yupp. but i would want to be in photography section of cos!!!

yesterday's art lesson was highly amusing with mr teo. he was looking at the images captured by everyone when he asked for mine and i told him "they are in my thumbdrive." HAHA i am highly amused. went around the school taking photographs and i went to xiao you's class to snap photographs knowing that mrs lai would definitely allow and stupid xiao you was giving me this mean face. and i snapped mrs lai's face, much to the amusement of those guys. WHATEVER. my aim was to disturb xiao you especially.

hmmmm. what else? lets say i completely flopped my napfa test. i think i only managed to do sit ups and pull ups to my best.. my hopes of finishing shuttlerun in 11.0 sec was ruined when i dropped the wooden block halfway and i started walking.. and my second time i sort of lost hope in it.. and i thought we were given two tries each.. (mr) vincent quek gave alot of tries for those standing broadjump people who somehow cant jump. this is retarded. but the point is i passed my napfa test.. dont have to worry about it and this test is definitely better than my biology or physics.

and much to my relief, i passed all my chemistry assignments according to mrs phua's record and this is good so if i fail any test, i still might be able to pass. so far, i think my best 6 subjects will be-- language arts, mathX2, chinese, chemistry and art. see, there are languages, sciences (including math) and humanities. whee*~

yesterday was walking back halfway when i heard this car honking incessantly. it wasnt that loud but i thought it was weird for the driver to honk cos there were still pedestrians crossing the road and we had the right of way. i looked around and to my amusement i saw that mrs wong was the driver honking and she was honking at me! being the friendly and retarded person i am, i waved to her(finger movements) with a canon camera in my right hand and a cup of jollibean in my left hand. HAHA.

that's about it. i'm meeting xiao you for lunch later at bugis. all because to avoid someone. whee*~

2006-04-15T17:38:00.000+08:00

rhythm is over. time really flies. next month, i will be preparing to take a long break during the june holidays.

long story about rhythm. i think our performance was rather good especially during the night one. i think it was the best that we ever played. plus i got to see the original MOG, something which i was secretly pleased about. haha.

i like the alumni band pieces.. they are quite seh actually especially the titanic medley. but we had nice pieces like gilgamesh and piano concerto. the nicest part of the concert was of course the parts that i didnt play wrong notes. like DUH!

urmm, some people said i never smiled at all during the concert.. wahlau, do you expect me to smile after standing all day in court shoes with blisters and trying to cut down on mistakes and wrong bowing.. plus during gilgamesh, my legs were about to break already because i was standing at a terribly awkward position to prevent my bass, MOGner from slipping. its very scary to be holding a bass and it suddenly slips from your fingers. due to the lack of stoppers and ineffective floormats yeah? poor francesca, she got many bad experiences about it yesterday..

janice fan never go and emcee.. cheat my feelings lor. i thought she would be emceeing.. but its good to have a super tall emcee to catch everybody's attention. haha. no more rhythm liao. so sad, which means no more packed chicken rice for dinner. i liked the chilli ok.. yesterday was practically eating chilli & rice until joanna said i looked like i was putting lipstick. haha. i wanted to eat a second packet of chicken rice but since there seemed to be a lack of food, nvm.

that's about it then..

2006-04-10T20:55:00.000+08:00

sighs. i dont know what to say. all of a sudden, an inferior person is being compared to you. not much that i can comment on but that statement definitely made me change my mind about what i intend to do. so let this be my last year then. i am seriously not going to be bothered by it anymore.

li hui told me this "can you imagine the amount of stress that we will get rid of after rhythm?" i think she meant no more band after rhythm. good what, then can study more for end of year exams. shall spent my mondays and fridays mugging and mogging. whatever. all of a sudden, i cant wait for rhythm to pass and just retire.

i just received this email from mrs goh that photography is pair work. which means 100 photographs per pair and i have to submit my pair asap. wednesday we will be given the cameras and tripods. i definitely DONT WANT a G3. why cant i do it alone.. plus i am NOT allowed to go for sports day at all. thurs morning is dedicated for band [ractices and we are supposed to rest in the afternoon. no galivanting at all. then sports day photographs how? wahlau this is so irritating larh.. imagine all the 7 DHP art people capturing shots on sports day and me? i have nothing. NOTHING ABOUT SPORTS DAY AT ALL. worse still, i have to submit the consent form about not attending sports day tmr. i am so pissed. how i wished i was mount st helens.

i shouldnt even have came to school today. more precise, i should have just gone home after school.

2006-04-09T17:39:00.000+08:00

went to yio chu kang symphonic band concert last night. it was called In Concert X. since In reminded me of ln the natural log, here goes my joke. In Concert X costs $10, therefore, In Concert X=10. so let concert be x, hence, lne x=10. by removing lne, x=10. it so happens that in roman numerals, X is actually 10. ah well, i bet you wont understand the joke so nvm.

the concert was alright but i did have an ulterior motive of going there actually. so yeah. i was trying to look out for mog before the concert and during the intermission but he wasnt in the concert hall. so anyway, there was nothing i could do. then at the end of the concert, francesca and i decided to go and shake the two sec2s string bassists hands cos they were good. as usual, there is another reason why i wanted to go. yupp. then as we walked out of the concert hall by that corridor, i saw him and francesca was like 'quick' and she was holding my hand.

due to adrenaline rush i shouted HELLO rather loudly and he was like.. HELLO back though he was somewhat surprised. ewww, i was in pink larh.. sort of erm.. but anw, it was quite amusing to say hello. so well, thats about it.

i cut my hair just now at parkway. it is now terribly short to the state whereby it is impossuble for me to tie my hair. which means no more ribbons for rhythm. no headache about worrying how badly i tied the ribbon too. it looks weird but i think its alright lar. dont care liao. nice or not nice not my problem but something significant though, the weather is much cooler now.

2006-04-06T18:42:00.000+08:00

very long never blog liaoz. here to update awhile.

today's art elective was dismissed at about 345pm, the earliest in history, mainly because mr teo was absent. he's supposed to be teaching us photography then his ppt slides that he sent to mrs goh was a bit too chim and mun yi, vina and i were like, ok lets go on to the next slide. bleah. i think i AM gonna die. 50 photographs of Dunmanians in action to portray the dunmanian spirit. gosh.

bleh. decided to take bus 12 with xiaoyou cos so happened that i saw her at the string bass sectionals area. then it started drizzling but we boarded the bus. then she alighted a short distance cos she lived near the school and i live at pasir ris, where bus 12 BERTHS. it was a long ride home alone basically and i felt super out of place cos most of the commuters were from JCs and yeah. in short, couples everywhere. in front of me, next to me. i was like super out of place. maybe i should take bus 12 when i am not alone. ah well.

come to think of it, rhythm is like 7 days later. i am horrified. i havent had time to buy string bass collar pins for my juniors yet. and it was supposed to be given last year but francesca and i did wired ones instead. *sighs* and swee li music company at sims drive has one of those similiar pins that i lost then i need to replace it again. TERRIBLE. plus i MUST polish my bass. then it will shine, like a real hofner.

need to hunt around for court shoes cos i threw my pair away last year. its two sizes smaller and i definitely cant wear cos of the terrible experience i suffered while wearing court shoes in brisbane for a week, closely followed by rhythm. now the trouble is, i cant find the right size of court shoes. anyone seen size 10 before?

2006-03-27T21:31:00.000+08:00

oh goodness. mog was online when i came online. damnit. i wasted his smses. anw, its pleasant to hear that he is no longer in national service(at last). crapped a bit cos yeah.. his brain is currently the happiest element to suffer for elatedcity(got such a word meh?) and the second element would most probably be his hair(like i have suggested). xin1 hao3 tian2. aww.. too bad cant go for dinner before some stuffs on 8th april cos he'll be there earlier and i am not going there earlier just to eat dinner with him.

lalaalalalaalla feeling so happy for once after the KL trip=))))))))))))))))))))) it doesnt worsen my attitude for tomorrow physics test!

well i got my new laptop today. yupp. it has this built in camera that can be used as webcam i guess. worse is to come, i probably expect myself to stay online for a longer time keeping an eagles eye on someone when he comes online. stupid oreo why cant you just show up for once..

biology test was on friday and i hope i did manage to scrape a pass though. now i shall worry about physics test even though it isnt worth worrying about. but if i fail this test, mr lim is going to pull me out for remedials on physics. what the hell. can you imagine me skipping band or anything else just to attend his lesson? NO WAY. the fact is, just as long as i get a pass i dont give it a damn. ah well.

boring school life, i am suddenly deprived of laughter. recalling those times when jien was still in dhssb taking the section then all of a sudden i would go laughing and the rest would be somewhat infected with my laughter. times have changed. what will it be like next year? would i still be in band? i dont know and i dont really want to think about it but i really pray that my FT will change. seriously.

my mind is suddenly like a whirlpool, pulling me down and making me unconscious of what i am and have been doing. hofner doesnt shine as much as it used to. oreos have started experiencing adrenal rush and yeah you know.. life is short. i cant be waiting for oreos for half my life. i have been waiting since last year. give me more oreos and something might change, be it for the better or for the worse.

art is bad. terrible since this year. i seriously think i lost my skills for painting. maybe what mrs goh said is right. my skills have been given to vina and ruijie. all the same it sounds rather demoralising. not that i can help, but my mind is hardly in focus these days. chinese is the only subject that i have yet to fail anything yet and besides that 1/2 mark that made me fail math test, i think these are my better two subjects at the moment, something contrasting from last year when it was biology and art.

because of this inconsistency, i cant plan any thing i would want to do in the future. studying marine biology seemed near last year but now, it is even further than the moon. now, politics seem nearer but i doubt that possibility. maybe next year i might decide to go into music which is highly unlikely. i dont know. i am seriously lost. it is definitely an omen of the starting of the term, the starting of a beginning. where am i?

2006-03-21T19:02:00.000+08:00

I read lizard aka elizabeth’s blog. one whole entry about the KL trip. goodness. can I keep blogging about it? everything seemed to happen like yesterday. I really miss the trip especially the fun I had with elizabeth, yi hsin and yue sing. time really flies, one week ago I was preparing to reach singapore. *sighs*

time and tide waits for no man. cant it wait for a poor little girl like me who wants to have continuous fun? ah well, its (im)possible isnt it.

talking about the new seating arrangement. im right in the middle of the class. yeah, that bad. its like every lesson I will see the teacher face like a blob of coloured paint smudged with their facial features.

during physics, I had the sudden intention to throw my pen at *ahem* and walk out of the class. as much as I was tempted to do it, I just don’t have the guts. I am telling you, I hate that person whereas some other classes get such nice form teachers like 2F, 3J and 4J.

i wish *ahem* was someone else. like the person I last saw on monday. I wouldnt mind a single bit at all. seriously.

2006-03-19T20:58:00.000+08:00

yay my template is nice right.. many thanks to xiaoyou. but I like the sunset most. you know why? cos I was the one that took the photo. like duh.. I think I used zoom lens if I remembered correctly. yeah, this nice sunset was taken along the selangor river before we headed for bukit belimbing. haha.

oh yeah, I became associate pricipal suddenly. didn’t really expect it after I flopped my indoor test by not playing whole tone and pentone. still, I was lucky. but my section has 4 principal players, ah well. jien said associate good enough liaoz so be it lor.

it reminds me, its one week since I departed singapore for kuala lumpur. cant the time turn back? its making me feel nostalgic.

2006-03-18T17:38:00.000+08:00

i havent blogged for ages and life somewhat feels weird. anyway, i seriously need to talk about the visual arts trip to kuala lumpur. the truth is, i enjoyed myself terribly and i wished the trip was one week or something, but it would become a shopping trip or something..

yeah, my room mate was yi hsin, and the fact is she isnt that bad as i thought. i ripped the zip off my bag the moment we were about to depart school because i was trying very desperately to squeeze two thick strorybooks into my bag and duh, i used quite a lot of strength. secondly, i tore my pants in the toilet cos i was rushing off to the coach in yong peng. guess what? i threw the pants away and it was like when we were about to leave when i realised that the key to the lock on my luggage was still in the toilet. dreads man.. the toilet was like deprived of its cleaning probably for years and because it is the first day, i cant afford to destroy my luggage by breaking the lock or cutting it even though i am somewhat temted to wrench off the lock.

when we reached kuala lumpur, i broke this candle in central market and i had to pay for it. not much though, instead of 4 for 10 ringgit, it became 3. so much so for destroying much stuffs in the first day. ah well.. took some nice photos from the petronas towers and the kings palace. yupp.

the guard outside king's palace

second morning went down rather early for breakfast. erm the breakfast exactly isnt very nice, because there isnt a wide variety available and those that are served are somewhat lacking in something. but anw, since it is supposedly free, I shall simply shut up. after eating, yi hsin and I were like ½ hour earlier then we decided to go back to our room to watch tv. the lifts were rather busy and reminded me of those in australia. it takes you more than 15 mins to get into the lift. besides that, we were staying on the 18th floor, a bit impossible to climb stairs right?

hence, we were rather lucky to get into a half filled lift. at the 11th floor, where the swimming pool was situated, mrs goh and ms christine tan walked into our lift barefooted in swimsuits. goodness. and from the 11th floor all the way up, the lift had to stop at every floor and apparently mrs goh wasn’t too happy about the lift door opening because they were just after the lift doors. ah well, so much so for a surprising morning.

shant elaborate on museums because I cant remember their names and my travel booklet is with mrs goh. went times square for shopping in the afternoon but it was rather sian cos I had nothing to buy and my refusal to spend money except on milk and I spent most of the time in borders.

here comes the best part of the trip- the firefly cruise! we went to kuala selangor and dinner was served by the selangor river. then we headed to bukit belimbing where we would board the boat to watch these fireflies. millions of fireflies with a dazzling display of lights flickering in synchrony resembled twinkling electric lights on a christmas tree. male fireflies flash three times per second, while the female-emitting a glow of lesser intensity flash only once in three seconds. basically the fireflies suck the sap of the berembang trees and they are found along the selangor river. it was an astounding sight but I had to pay the price of wearing board shorts and not spraying insect repellent. dozens of mosquito bites. ah well.

we reached the hotel pretty late cos from kuala lumpur to kuala selangor is about one and a half hour drive. most of the people have slept except me, trying to read a storybook using a light stick because the driver went to off all the lights. ARGH. and I heard mr teo snore.

third morning, I survived on dairy products like fried egg and milk with honey stars and yoghurt for breakfast. nice breakfast though. we went to the swimming pool to see if there were any teachers swimming and we saw mr teo swimming alone. like erm. and he was surprised to see yi hsin and I there. shortly after, we took the same lift and he told someone that he forgot he forgot to bring his bath towel down.went to the national art gallery and look at the art works done by local people.. I think I like joseph tan’s works the best. rather impresionistic though. but he died. the art galley is super nice lar, its like rather grand cos it has slopes instead of stairs. so there is this spiral slope all the way up. but a bit tiring to climb lar..

visited the observation deck of the kuala lumpur tower. nice view lehz. went for lunch at this restaurant minmax. the food served at most of the restaurants are quite nice but the last dish is always watermelon.. the entire afternoon was at megamall, the biggest shopping centre in kuala lumpur. elizabeth and I were walking around because mr teo had to stay with some latecomers for one hour because they were late when we were about to depart times square. then elizabeth was super kc about reminding mr teo about bowling with us. she asked him earlier on. yeah. we ran from north court to south court to look for him. in the end, ms tan, mrs goh and mr teo bowled with me and elizbeth. I was not the worst for two rounds though. luckily.

went kenny rogers for dinner with elizabeth and yi hsin. I swear I laughed till my stomach muscles tore. when the waitress took our order for the muffins, she asked if we wanted banana, vanilla or chocolate and I heard as ‘banina’ or ‘chipmonk’ and we died of laughter lar. seriously the waitress looked rather amused by my response. then there were three side dishes for the ¼ set meal. I thought I was the only one ordering macaroni and cheese. so there was this big plate of macaroni and cheese which I thought was mine and I asked the waitress, if one side dish so big, then how to finish three side dishes?’ then elizabeth said it was hers and the waitress laughed again. I think we made a hell lot of noise in that place. ah well. then we decided to say goodbye to this nice waitress before we left. she was rather busy so we signalled to this waiter to call her for us. then when the waitress stepped out of kenny rogers, we said ‘bye bye’ and ‘thank you’ in all the languages like english, chinese, malay, japanese etc and we roared we laughter cos I ended by saying ‘thanks for making our meal at kenny rogers such a memorable one’. erm.

then elizabeth and I went to some dome place cos I wanted to buy coffee. then I ordered choco cino without knowing what it is. when the person was pouring steaming vanilla into the cup, I asked the stupidest question, is choco cino hot or cold? like duh.. then the man went to stir the coffee cos I didn’t know to stir or not to stir. he tossed the metal spoon into the basin with a lud sound and I told him ‘I nearly got heart attack but luckily heart strong or else I kena heart atack’. yeah, then we laughed like nuts..I tried to force a straw into the lid which had a small opening for you to drink from. and seriously, I think I kind of laughed till my stomach was about to burst..

took the coach back and mr teo announced that our lights out time is at 12 midnight since it was our last night. yupp, but I made too much noise and everyone’s time was cut to 1150pm. then he told me if I continued to make some more noise, my room lights out time will be cut since it wasn’t fair to the rest. we went to our room and wrote poems for you know.. then the security guards came up and complained about our school students being very noisy. the sec 2s having pillow fight leh. ms tan and mrs goh were telling us to get back to sleep at 1130pm. ah well, I ended up drinking millk and thinking of stuffs. fell asleep at 1am.

last morning in kuala lumpur. so sad. the very first museum we went to, I was sort of reprimanded by mr teo cos I hit the gong. I didn’t even see the ‘please do not touch’ sign lor. yeah, the museum of asian arts. more like the museum for ancient aunts.. all the potteries and stuffs. islamic art also have.. and I had a hard time trying to shut up and not touch anything.

went malacca for lunch. it was peranakan food. the place changed a hell lot. the last time I went was in pri6 and there were still bullock carts. its like 4 whole years.. then the bullock carts have all shifted to ayer keroh and I managed to see a few well-groomed ones when we passed ayer keroh.. oh my goodness, I really missed going to malaysia.. hotel equiltorial still stands grand and makota parade doesn’t seem to have any difference.. but I still like the mines resort and the palace of the golden horses that I went to in kuala lumpur. that was shiok.

went straight back to school and I saw some band people cos band camp just ended. I saw mr davis too! I heard from francesca that mr davis liked the string bass soli in the first movement! yay, that was an improvement compared to the previous band camp when we sounded quite terrible. singtel rocks man.. I was chanting ‘s’ is for singtel after mr teo said sth about me shouldn’t be saying too many ‘s’ words(shit in this case).

I short, I enjoyed myself terribly despite being reprimanded. its just part and parcel of being itchy fingered in museums.

the following text is in spanish. please do not encode it unless you want to know what it means.

Alguien es es apenas tan chupa arriba en la sección. desde que ese isnt de persona en línea, yo nombres de mención de shant también en beneficio de todos. no que cuido pero yo me puse pienso que estaré permaneciendo por el año 5 y año 6.

El hecho es, necesito parto para hablar a.

2006-03-04T16:59:00.000+08:00

goodness. time really flies. its about two weeks since i blogged. plus next week is the last week of term one. cheers! next sat is ms yap & mr fong's wedding, next sun i'll be leaving for msia with the arts people. by the time i reached home, i would have missed one whole day of the band camp. ah well..

lots of project work. language arts documentary filming, two chinese writings on comparing the different writers or whatever you call it, biology concept map.. there are a couple of stuffs due on monday, math assignment 2 & 3, geog assignment on the cartoons, geog worksheet on geomorphology, translation worksheet plus chem worksheets and some crap stuffs that arent worth mentioning. (physics assignment)

oh i got back a few tests. didnt expect my math and chinese to exceed my expectations, not that my expectations are low, but well, its the first test. was rather disappointed with chem test.. actually i spent quite a lot of time but in the end i sort of mixed up oxidation and reduction. memorised until blur liao. couldnt believe then i had to cry when i saw the marks.. but anw, i shant cry over spilt milk. what's done cant be undone. ah well..

yesterday's cme chen bin stole the limelight. he asked mr kiw if his pants were too tight. then we were like.. laughing till we fell off our seats cos mr kiw sort of like wriggled his pants to prove that they arent tight at all. but seriously, i think his waist area is a bit too tight for him. but anw, that's not my problem.

indoor was quite nice.. standing with francesca is abit.. she plays everything including those erm, play at lib parts.. plus they are rather hard. i only can play the first two bars out of the five bars. anw, the juniors. we are officially starting a cello section thanks to lisha or whatever her name is. francesca and i think she's rather weird. she can move her eyebrow in any direction and that is like, super freaky.

ruo nan is nice but everybody says wan ting is nicer.. ruo nan is kind of quiet and she doesnt smile much during band. but you should see her during recess or lunch. she waved to me and ka woon and she smiled.. poor girl stay in clementi area come to dhs.. wan ting rather act cute lar.. haha.

i resent E&I. i refuse to pay attention to the lesson or to bring their notes. whatever crap. the woman uses a microphone because she thinks her voice is too soft but i think the microphone is a white elephant. qing zi also.. she was doing math assignment during E&I. the point is, she dont understand whereas i cant be bothered to listen. just a waste of my time if you ask me to listen.. which means when i shift to my new seat, mrs phua will be like behind me listening.. and i wont be able to do any school work or write rubbish. ah well.

chinese test version 2 is on thursday.. something to make me puke. i think i will at least pass. currently, my chinese, math and art seem to be at its peak. should i consider doing chinese as H3? i dont know. i still must see the rest of my subjects. who knows?

2006-02-18T17:00:00.000+08:00

sucks man this parent-teacher meeting. only ms kheng. she made my day. thank goodness. i am grateful to ms kheng. i shall study hard for language arts test. ms loh was rather nice too! too bad i flopped biology test..

2006-02-12T21:15:00.000+08:00

oh goodness. i didnt mean to be mog.. sheesh. i am not a guy. ahhh, anw, this entry was for fun.

2006-02-11T22:23:00.000+08:00

currently doing CAP portfolio now. i'm telling you it looks like shit. and it will. basically i have written my 5 pieces of creative writing and it sounds more like prose. and i havent done the respective reflections, project proposal and goal setting thing. its pissing me off. but i agreed to join xu qi and janice for the filming project.

oh yay. cheers! xiao you is going malaysia too! haha. and my fingernail is getting alright. all thanks to xiao you who tried to shut the door together with my fingers too.

2006-02-11T11:37:00.000+08:00

ahh. thanks to some people who came online for 10 mins and talked to me for 7 mins. i'm touched.

alright, this week has been a super busy one, with lots of stuffs needed to be done, not forgetting my bday. haha. anw, i havent got a proper chance to thank basses for that bday celebration held on mon, 6 feb. especially tedrid and francesca for preparing the food.

yupp, so in all to say, i'm still rather preoccupied at the moment, but according to wen xiu, this o'level results dhs did probably the best in 10 years. that's good nice lar, especially 95% of all geog people got distinction. cheers for dhs! hopefully got one day off. haha.

okkaes, time running out liao. shall blog a bit more later!

2006-02-05T20:11:00.000+08:00

what i'll do: stand back and laugh
what i'll say: you deserved it
who i'll call: the undertaker

i went tampines today. and i was super irritated by this lady who was pushing a pram. she was wearing red, yeah, represents bloodshed. if only. i was walking towards the traffic light. then she wanted to cut my path. knowing that she was wheeling a pram, i had the courtesy to walk an inverted 'C' so that i would not obstruct her way. and you know what she did?! she wheeled her pram faster and it wheeled over my leg and somehow my slipper (those flip-flops kind) flew towards the traffic light. its some 10 metres lar, old hag. then the traffic light became green. so i said 'shit lar'. and that ***** didnt even bother to apologise or say sth and i was very irritated with her. guess what i did? i said 'crazy ass' in a rather loud voice, and she heard it! yay. her husband was somewhere in front of her.

i thought of the incident and what would happened if i was wearing those sandals (the ones that are securely worn on your legs). seriously, i couldnt care less. i think most likely the pram and the baby inside would end up flying in mid-air before crashing on to the road. this is due to the fact that i would just kick the pram as it is obstructing my path. yes, with much strength. stupid woman, give way to you already you still want to fight with me for speed.
blood will stain the road. the infant will die. that's what the undertaker is for. and one reason why i will laugh. HAHAHA. imagine a body with tyre markings.. interesting yeah? can study patterns and tesellations. whee*~ oh no. i'm so void of feelings. but do i care? no i dont. i only care for that oreo biscuit.

anw, my parents celebrated my bday today by cooking dinner. there was this steamed groupa that was 15 inches long. plus there was some fried stuffs. on top of the soup, was a freshly opened tin of abalone. my dad estimated it to be at least $150 if this meal was eaten out. hmmm. right now there are 2 tins of abalone in the cabinet. one from australia and the other from mexico. haha. next month there would be the mexican abalone for consumption. *winks*

i finished my chemistry poster already! as in, can print and submit already but too bad the deadline is this friday. and a very nice person has kindly agreed to accompany to print it out. YAY! thanks a hell lot! (you know who you are)

2006-02-03T21:36:00.000+08:00

oh. i forgot to post about my survey with an NIE teacher. according to mrs goh, its supposed to be an interview. but it doesnt matter. it was about photography. wen qian and i were the only ones cos the rest left liao. then wen qian was asked the easy ones and mdm ng's friend, the one who asked the questions, decided to ask me the in depth ones. *sighs*
mdm ng started off by saying i could paint well. argh. that's so.. like last year? plus mdm ng's friend said i got qian2 tu2 in art and added that if i quit art, mdm ng would cry. so exaggerating lar.. shant mention on the contents though.. haha.

2006-02-03T20:59:00.000+08:00

today during band was quite fun cos we got to interact with the sec ones. according to statistics, there are still quite a number of people appealing to join band. and the enrolment this year is defintely more than overwhelming. no comments about the sec ones yet.
today is 3rd of feb- da xian's bday. haha. shall call him later.. anw, im not exactly very happy with something. during the hols, yue zhi and i did a book review and it 'happened' to be the same. but then our marks werent the same. she got an A, i got a B, despite being only a few marks difference. wth lar.. same assignment different marks. my chinese teacher expectations are higher i guess.. bad luck lor.
talking about celebrating my bday.. francesca wants it to be on tuesday. whatever lar.. no mood leh. this year i have been rather void of feelings. no feelings for a new year, no feelings for cny, no intention to celebrate my bday. to make it worse, francesca wanted to invite someone down to play a solo. its not a nice joke even though his bday is also on the same day as mine. no way, i rather bury my face somewhere else. but on the other hand, i cant wait to call him on his bday. woah, that sounds quite.. ah well, some people are just influential.

entries for the past few days.
***

1st feb
i came to school in pe shirt with a sling bag (given by jien). felt quite weird in it cos most of the people were in home clothes, then those not in home clothes were in school shirt, not pe shirt. but anw, yue zhi 'happened' to be in pe too! like YAY! potluck was steamboat for our class. it was ok and there were reporters. and we appeared on lian he zao bao the next day. not bad lar compared to other classes.
after dismissal went to find xiao you cos we wanted to bai nian to someone in school but then she went off liao. so we didnt get to eat her chocolate cake. anw, that isnt the point.
xiao you, justus and i were swaying around in parkway cos wen xiu said to meet at parkway to buy food for basses reunion dinner. cos its a steamboat again. but parkway was rather boring and much time was spent in popular reading storybooks.
wen xiu paid half the price of the dinner, i paid the other half. so its like $2.70 a person excluding alumni. wen xiu didnt mention anything about reimbursing her. haha. but we had a lot of fun trying to prepare the food. i dropped a fishball and a button mushroom, and destroyed the tofu by cutting in a weird shape. the funniest thing: wen xiu and i dropped the bowl into the steamboat. that explains why i failed home econs. plus i did it on purpose too!
well, benjamin and twain are a pair.. the both of them finished a mini pot of rice between themselves. that pot could probably feed like 5 or 6 people.. but the soup was nice. nicer than lunch. most probably due to the fact that the soup was boiled before we came. plus there was a surplus of food. and i ate more dinner than lunch. the entire thing ended at 9pm which was quite early for a basses gathering.. oh plus it was unusually cheap.
***

31st jan
aunt's house. we went to my aunt's house. stayed there for lunch until late afternoon. it was kind of bored cos the adults were playing mahjong and stuffs, leaving me and my 5 cousins alone playing with the dogs. there are two dogs but they are not collies and huskies. so never mind. but anw, we got the chance to walk to dogs to woodgrove point. yeah, my aunt's house is in woodlands, somewhere near the singapore sports school. *bsp camp* then i stayed at home while my parents went to watch i not stupid too. but i got 7 bucks for not going along to watch.
***

2006-01-30T19:57:00.000+08:00

o.0 so bored.. i didnt get the chance to read newspapers today cos there wasnt any. not even the chinese version. ok, so here's the fact, i read newspaper daily, english and chinese, but i still cant figure out why my languages kana sai. (",)

i went to marina square with my parents today. happened that we were passing by golden village and i discovered that they were no longer screening dreamer. kind of crap.. yue zhi and i were intending to watch it the day after tmr. now, the plan is gone with the wind. no more nice horses to admire on the screen. though i hope they would publish the book with a nice horse on the cover page. then i will definitely buy it. lol. it reminds me of this horseopoly i saw at raffles city on the 26th december 2005. there was this horse version of monopoly.. then got all the different breed of horses. so cool right? yupp, then the price is quite cool as well. but once again, it isnt worth to spend so much on a board game.

and most likely i will be wearing pe shirt with school skirt. so guai right? yue zhi and i have decided to wear pe shirt since the interclass games wont be too good. lol. hmmm, ah well, i have no more comments for the rest of the day..

2006-01-29T21:50:00.000+08:00

i didnt collect much from this year’s red packets. some of my relatives were overseas. but anw, i was rather surprised to receive an sms from mr helmi to wish me a happy new year and that it would be a prosperous one. thanks. being the mischeivous me, i sent an sms in chinese back to him.

at my aunt house, i was rather bored and hence i stood by the window tossing a mandarin orange as if it was a ball. ok, here comes the unexpected bit. the mandarin orange flew out of the window. my first reaction was extreme shock. luckily, it didnt hit any car or people. nobody knew about it too.

took a couple of photographs with my cousins at my grandma’s house. i shall post only one, which i think its the best. haha.

oh i realised that the irritating person isnt irritating anymore. we just smsed each other. =)

2006-01-27T20:16:00.000+08:00

everybody wasnt in much mood to study today. mainly because of the fact that cny is approaching and there was many alumni walking about the corridor. then ms kheng was saying we were getting rather distracted during language arts and mr lim said we couldnt concentrate when we saw guys walking outside the classroom. -_-' and claire shouted S.O.S. when three of mr lim's ex-students didnt want to come in. but in the end we only got a couple of minutes earlier for dismissal.

francesca gave me cookies and wished me a happy cny. same to you too! went for sp after school. with francesca. zhi yin and xiao you. we played outside the band room. haha. then we had a fairly nice time greeting people whom passed by. especially mrs wong. at first we greeted super loudly. then when she left, xiao you and i went on holding the last word 'wonggg...' then it was so funny cos she turned back and said sth which we couldnt hear apparently.

time passes by very quickly. one month is about to pass. soon, there will be the deadline for the chemistry A4 poster and geography rally speech. and i saw the list of overseas immersion trip the year 3s have this year. so good lor. they have at least twice the choices we had last year. and there are trips concerning physics and math. then still got alot. got india somemore lor.. *sighs* disadvantages of being pioneers.

oh plus still got chemistry test coming up. mrs shu told 4K that there was mole concept but up to a max of 5 marks. then the rest is redox rxn, acids bases salts and QA. must mug and mug and mug.. havent die must mug, havent mug must die. erm.

2006-01-26T20:38:00.000+08:00

cny is coming and i dont have much intention to visit my primary school. looks like i will end up sticking like a sore thumb cos i dont really know anyone there.

10 band tickets to sell. 3 matinee tickets and 7 night tickets. plus i got 4 band cds left. and there is no band tmr. which is sad cos i wont be seeing my instrument until next friday i guess.

i got an A for HSK! haha. i cant believe yuezhi and i got the same points.. what the. so coincident right.. nothing nice but i think i am kind of lucky and i know my chinese sucks like shit and i dont know why i was so bothered to do the comparison about the easterners and westerners thing. yan wen made things worse by saying i was as bian tai as joey.. doing chinese for the sake of doing is not bian tai, its called forced. mr fong said he wanted it today and i spent the hell of last night trying to get things right.

i am quite certain i have a weird style of thinking. sometimes i disagree with what the others say and i think that i can prove my point but well, i just kind of cant be bothered with it. today's math was an example. i had to disagree about the frequency polygons thing. and i decided i was wrong. but perhaps i did overlook some stuffs. ah well.

so sad, today was the last pe lesson we would be playing volleyball. and to think that i actually played quite well in the match today lor. usually i cant serve the ball over the net but today was rather surprising. during the match when it was my turn to serve, nobody expected me to serve across the net, but when it did, haha. too late. a point gained. second time it was really nice. it could be mistaken as an 'out' but it landed somewhat near the margin and nobody picked the ball. it went on for a couple of times until at match point. i hit the ball up instead of across the net. argh. but we won.

the second match i only served successfully twice. haiz. but i heard someone saying about me being powerful or sth.. lol. not really lar. dunno leh. but anw, our team won all 3 sets straight, thanks to mainly royston and joey. of cos, still got mei hui, wen qian and soke may! so sad no more volleyball liao.

today's art. hmmm. ok lor. i think our head dress will look the best because we painted them unlike most of the groups. they didnt use paints or anything. haha. oh erica and i went to get an egg from the canteen cos we wanted that oval shape for venus head. ok, we are doing 'birth of venus' for wearable art. so erica emptied the egg, much to mrs goh's surprise that there were still nice people asking us if an egg was enough. but in the end, the egg broke cos erica used too much strength. so we had to use newspaper. lol.

guess what? mdm ng came today! i had a hard time to recall her name. i was like 'is it mdm goh? no it isnt. then what it is?' and in the end i was like 'ahh, mdm ng'. she taught us art last year with ms loh. then she suddenly went off then today saw her in school. according to mun yi, she would be having her practical or sth in dhs lar.. not too sure. not much change i guess, except hair colour=)

oh and i didnt know mrs goh had alot of strength till she sort of like hit me for no reason today. haha. xiao you says she looks tanned so she might be those sports kind of people. whatever. looks are deceiving. never judge a book by its cover. daughters of heaven look nice but in it lies a murderous plot. a cold-blooded murder by 2 fifteen year old girls so devoid of compassion. sighs. nowhere in the world is safe. perhaps in a coffin buried near the earth core.

irritating person. why aren't you picking up your phone.. argh.

2006-01-22T11:48:00.000+08:00

whee*~ i finished all my chem and math worksheets. AT LAST. for the first time in dunno-how-many months, i did them in ink. as in really pen ink and no blanks and pencil markings or whatsoever. YAY! i'm suddenly feeling so accomplished (even though i think i might flop the lastest physics-i dont care and biology test.)

most importantly, i managed to solve the math bonus question about similar quadilaterals. the PPAP thing and i submitted my so-called solution to mr ng last friday, which was earlier than the 'next week' deadline. i hope i can get it right. and the optional question in the math textbook. i solved it too! yay. i'm sort of getting back my passion for math after one disastrous 2005 with math quizzes going as bad as 0/10 and 8/10 in the same year. hopefully can be like lower sec, most of the math tests all like 25/25 one..

anw, i heard this year go nanjing only 2 weeks. so heng. 6 weeks i confirm vomit blood. no internet, no msn, no long-time talking on the phone and no movies. haha. THANK GOODNESS i did not apply for the scholarship. phew.

after friday when mr ng(conductor) was talking about scholarships and who intended to apply for them, for no apparent reason i raised my hand.. but anw, i rather not have a scholarship than to have that SAP scholarship. and a testimonial from a hectic CCA is crucial plus a leadership role too! *sighs* i'm only in some task force, not even the overall i/c. nvm. at the most i shall be like selina. wait another round then apply for scholarship again. but she really vvvv pro lar.. straight 'A's for S papers (according to mr ng). scholarship to king's college for pHd in 6 years.

i have no idea what i wanna be. investment banker is out of the question. i will die without time to sleep. no day no night no social life. this kind of money i also dont want.. accountancy might be possible. but that isnt really my first choice. but i guess my interest still lies in marine biology. going underwater to study these marine animals.. its kind of fascinating and interesting, but i think its going to be pure hardwork cos much qualifications are needed.

oceanography seems cool too! but a bit out of the question too. maybe i should get into liberal arts. but i seriously have no idea. maybe i just be a mog. mysterious oreo girl. HAH. but i have decided my 4 H2 subjects. either math or economics, biology, geography and art. at the very most, i will replace geography with economics.

2006-01-17T20:40:00.000+08:00

today francesca and i were locked in the band room cos we were in the workroom practicing and we closed the door by putting a chair behind it so it was quite hard to open the door. so nobody knew we were inside and they locked the door without us! we only discovered it after packing up. and i called ying qing but she never pick up the call. decided to call dhs then. then the people at the general office told me to hold the line cos mrs wong happened to be in the general office.

mrs wong: hello
me: hello mrs wong
mrs wong: yes?
me: urm, i am xiuli. francesca and i are locked inside the band room.
mrs wong: how come?
me: we were practicing in the workroom but they didn’t know we were there so they locked us in the band room.
mrs wong: the two of you siao already.
i laughed.
mrs wong: so both of you stay there and wait for me.
me: we are locked inside! we cant get out!
mrs wong: you very lucky you know not, i was about to leave the general office then you called. today if i buy lottery sure strike..
mrs wong & i laugh.

stuck there. gosh. i heard mrs wong’s voice outside the band room- “you all cannot laugh at them, they very poor thing..” then the moment she unlocked the band room, francesca and i walked out laughing like mad. then the sec 2 home econ class started laughing too! mrs wong was quite amused too. she said we very lucky cos today no band teachers on duty and she would be away for meeting after school till 4 or 5pm plus.. or else we would be stuck there till tmr. argh. but apparently mrs wong laughed all the way to her designated class cos we said we would tell the teacher that we were late due to the fact we were locked inside the band room. *sighs*

2006-01-03T22:27:00.000+08:00

I felt as though I had just woke up from some long snooze the movement I stepped into school. First day was quite slack cos we mostly stayed in the hall to listen to talks. I'm quite surprised our vice principal has MSN. Lol.

My biology teacher is ms June Loh, no longer ms Yap, math teacher is mr Ng BK, not mr Holmi (like duh). Yupp and my higher chinese teacher is the same as Yuezhi's-- mr Fong. Gosh, our rather similar book reviews!!!

Mr Sng very nice.. Yuezhi, Meiyi, Jazreen and I just bought drinks at the vending machine then we walked towards the carpark. I saw mr Sng then I shouted "bye bye!" guess what?! He turned and waved "bye bye!" After that, Yuezhi, Meiyi and Jazreen shouted "bye bye" again and mr Sng turned around and waved "bye bye". So nice right? Then at the guard house, we stood there and he waved "bye bye!" again. Omg, he so nice, much nicer than the ex-principal.

At 1930 I saw Mr Helmi's car at Changkat Changi town from Simei mrt. Haha. and he asked about my first day in school and when I asked him about his first day, he said got culture shock and people got attention span of 1 min. Haha. Good luck though :)

Shall go soon. bye.

2006-01-01T21:07:00.000+08:00

resolutions for a new year (2006)
- i must NOT be distracted during lessons, especially during chemistry
- i must think of MUG NOT MOG
- i must NOT talk to mog online, not even a greeting at all
- i must NOT be distracted by the world cup
- i must hand in all assignments on time
- i must NOT fail any tests at all (except physics)
- i must read 'murderous' story books at half the rate i am reading at now

hmmm. that should be about it i guess. but i think the first four a bit nan2 ru2 deng1 tian1. lol. jia you!!!

2005-12-30T17:39:00.000+08:00

apparently i woke up on the wrong side of the bed. had a super bad sore throat. i swear i cant drink anything, worse still i can eat anything. hopefully tmr i will be better.. if i wake up tmr with fever, i dont think i will enjoy myself at my grandmother's new house.

alright yesterday was basses chalet. i reached downtown east a bit before 1630 and i went to the chalet room. i knocked on the door twice and then nobody opened it. so irritating. then i walked off. and then xiao you called and said she and ka woon got lost while trying to find their way back to the chalet. so i waited for quite some time and they appeared. the three of us went to rattle at the door loudly.

after a while, it became increasingly bored. then xiao you and i went outside to play volleyball. apparently, we killed a couple of plants cos the volleyball managed to uproot them. took a break after that. tedrid's mother and sister came. xiao you, ka woon and i decided to help tedrid and the people outside. but we brought the volleyball out and started playing again.

so some unlucky stuff had to happen. we were playing volleyball halfway and it apparently became my turn to volley the ball. being the extreme violent me, the poor miserable ball never guessed where it would land. so much force was being applied such that the volleyball flew up the roof and it got stuck in the gutter. i had to pay $40 to get it down.

the management didnt have ladders long enough to reach the rooftop. argh. and my poor volleyball.. i left the chalet with an empty ball net, which was somewhat a bit.. dots.

oh. and i am glad liverpool thrashed everton 3-1. all the best for the west brom match. ahaha.

2005-12-27T23:09:00.000+08:00

i received min zhe's sms at about 1230am telling me that liverpool was leading 2-0 at newcastle. wahaha. i couldnt believe my joy!!! liverpool's defence are strong lor.. and they currently conceded the least number of goals in the entire english premiereship now.. three cheers for L.F.C.!!!

back to yesterday. i was lazy to blog then. i met yue zhi at 3pm at eunos mrt platform. anw i was supposed to wear this skirt. erm i think its about skin colour. yupp cos actually yue zhi and i agreed to wear short skirts. but i didnt want to wear it in the mrt so i decided to change it later.. hmm but it was quite ma fan.

i reached vch with yue zhi at 1630 cos i lost my ticket then jien needed to pass me a notification or something.. but it turned out to be an invitation. those that you receive from people who are giving out wedding invitations just that it wasnt a wedding and mine had no envelope. but the point is, the invitation is bilingual. one side was chinese, the other in english.

we saw ying xian and linette. ying xian was wearing a bimbo shirt that had a character doing something weird. and the glitter somehow ended up on her bag strap too. then yue zhi and i walked back to raffles city to find yi xiu and the rest.. walking under the hot sun.. *yawns

reached vch at 1700 exactly with yi xiu and nicholas carrying 3 roses -one sickly pink, one sickly pinkish yellow, another sickly white(according to yue zhi). i felt quite out of the place when most of the people around me took out their tickets but i took out the invitation thing. like so super out of place.. we went to find francesca and we sat next to her. i got back
my math assignment and some tubes of acrylic paints i lent some time back. i missed my burnt umber..

now my math assignment is with yue zhi and i bet when she returns it to me, it will be more crumpled. wanna bet? hmmm. something accidental happened during the concert. before enternos (whatever it is) i was opening my bag cos yue zhi wanted the programme booklet. then just when mr ng raised his baton, i had to zip my bag. and it was quite a loud sound.. then the
back row behind me started giggling. erm.

i quite liked egmont.. as much as i liked persis overture. then i noticed something that made me and quite a few of people laughing. ROCKING TUBAS! rawking tubists that rock their tubas very violently. suddenly during a piece the tubas would rock.. as in move. not rawk or what.. cant say too much or else jien will come after my head. and i heard jien play too! to hear one string bass play during a piece is like!!! quite pro.. jien is really super good on the bass lor. she really ah.. haiz.

then xiao you said according to benjamin, rocking the tuba helps one to breathe better. wow. i am lost for words. thats one reason why you should go to concerts and watch out for rocking instruments, not necessary tubas. rocking string basses? nah, more like rawking string basses. hah. but it was quite entertaining though. silence amusement, apparently.

wei liang's enlisted into national service on 5th jan 2006. he is bi wen's and my godbrother.. we met him at some biology research workshop in march and then he became our godbrother. then he wanted to know if it was possible for the three of us to meet up before he got enlisted.. hmmm. jia you!!! all the best in national service and take care yeah?

2005-12-27T16:41:00.000+08:00

hmmm. today i was on this bus when this lady boarded at punggol area. so she apparently took the bus till it was at ang mo kio that area and she asked me something quite stupid -does this bus go to pasir ris?

i told her she should take 88 opposite the road cos the bus that she boarded was heading towards toa payoh interchange.(in chinese) and she didnt believe me and she went to ask the bus driver, much to my amusement though. serve her right, waste so much time on a bus ride. who ask her dont believe me? anw, i think they should have the name of the bus' directions written in dialect too. or at least in chinese somewhere on the windscreen big enough to be seen from a distance. haha.

2005-12-25T13:36:00.000+08:00

i changed my template! it's obvious now isnt it? liverpool rawks.

its christmas today. like.. merry christmas everybody!!! have a fun time today going around exchanging presents. its the end of 2005 soon.

school will be reopening and then there will be the usual stuffs like tests blahblah. and this year still going nanjing. can i opt not to go? i bet i'll come back with some wierd illnesses of eating too much preserved or canned foods cos my cousin-in-law from china say some parts of nanjing very luo4 hou4 then dont have refrigerators..

but i really dont want to go.. firstly, nanjing isnt some western europe that have alot of nice stuffs. and i dont think i will enjoy going there speaking in chinese. then i doubt computers will ever exist and handphones.. well, it will be nuts to call some people in singapore from china.

which means, if i go china, i dont think my parents will allow me to go other countries. and there goes the art trip to italy. gone with the wind, i would say.. though the art trip to italy isnt confirmed, but i really want to go italy.. a place where workers have their rights and strikes are allowed to happen any time.. its a whole new way of seeing how these people learn not to be overly dependent on transport services etc.

then there's olevels higher chinese. i dont think i will be studying much for it.. its so sian. as it chinese itself. studying weird looking characters that look like egyptian hieroglyphics carved on the walls of cave.. but chinese is worse. you get to cram all those characters with their 'nitty-gritty' details into small boxes in a limited time.. its like? squezzing a dinosaur into a lion trap.. ridiculous..

and it means i will be one year older. and i will be inching towards my death bed. and i am not looking forward to the new year. cos holidays are going to end soon. and then there willl be hardly any time to watch movies. argh.

but on the bright side, there will be world cup. hopefully i can stay up late to watch the matches and i shall keep my fingers crossed that i wont sleep in class. but its ok to snooze during physics. heh.

2005-12-21T22:57:00.000+08:00

i regretted this particular decision i made some time earlier.

because of that wrong choice, it led to a mess of my life. it shouldnt be this way right now. instead of day-dreaming and building sandcastles (which are obviously in the air) to live life each day by each day, i should be trying to make the best of what i have to what i can achieve.

but seriously, i havent achieved much, or rather, anything this year. i didnt expect one year to fly so fast. for the whole of this year almost every night i am online, not giving a damn about my homework, and going to school early in a frenzy panicking about homework that i have yet submitted and then try to rush through it in less than 15 mins. irresponsible right?

i failed to make full use of what i had and maximise each opportunity given to me. i am living a year of regrets. all because of a stupid distraction. but meanwhile, not being distracted puts me in an even worse state. apparently my grades for the second semester are generally worse than that of semester one. its quite obvious to those who know me well enough.

i cant help it lar. its like so not-my-fault. maybe i shouldnt even have stepped into dhs and i wont be what i am today, though i have this inkling that i would do better academically in another kind of environment, where everybody strives to compete and hardly any stuffs are being joked about. no BGRs, no slacking, no holidays given due to excellent performance.. bleah

i should have followed my cousins' advice and oppose my parents decision. but then again, i was still young and innocent, whereas my cousins were the better ones. there's nothing i can do about it now. except try not to get distracted easily. haiz. i really must try harder for next year and not underachieve.

i must do myself justice. one last year and i will be going straight for a-levels. let the next year be something that i will unleash my potential. the skies will be brighter tmr. nobody can distract me. not even M.O.G. this time round.

2005-12-19T22:27:00.000+08:00

i am seriously getting very pissed with myself. i cant find the stupid swo concert ticket. it is like the second or third time. last time i also misplaced it. wahhh.. i not very rich leh. maybe i shouldnt spend money on another ticket. argh.

liverpool lost. that's quite sad. double sadness for rafael benitez after his father's death.

went to mr helmi's website. it's so cute.. wahaha. i never knew he so IT-savvy de lor. at least he doesnt look like those computer maniacs. XD but somehow it's quite touching. well, i really dont have much to comment about it.

i am going to xiao you's house to practise on the bass on wed. yay. its still a hofner. oh yeah, both xiao you and i are going to create this friendster account called 'hofner' for our string basses. shall blog about it later. it definitely sounds like crap.

tmr watching king kong with yue zhi at marina square. meeting on the station platform at eunos at 0900. that is a hell lot early considering that i am nocturnal nowadays due to the mass production of xmas cards. oh. i bought cookie mix to bake cookies too! hopefully it is edible. wahaha..

whee*~ it's my 80th post already. i am still about 10 posts slower that pigo.

i just woke up at 10pm after sleeping at 6pm. oh i feel a bit nocturnal already. this is bad. hopefully i wont fall asleep during lessons next year. its all last night fault. i slept at about 2am like that.. then woke up at 7am. for some irritating reason, i was at bishan. and i wanted to take bus 88 all the way to pasir ris interchange so i could take a nap. but due to the fact that i did not know which direction to board the bus, i ended up taking a train instead.

i hate trains. i simply dont like travelling by trains. firstly, chances of getting a seat on the train is 20% whereas on a bus is 80%. when you travel by bus, chances is you will walk lesser to your destination. and trains have lots of weirdos. i was sandwiched between this couple trying to get intimate with each other, and there was this lady (i suppose) who had the hairstyle of a NS man. well, bald but not completely bald. but she wore a very low cut shirt, trying to show off her cleavage like some celebrity, just that she isnt one. and she wore slacks. yupp. plus she was carrying a couple of plastic bags which contained dried foods. but i guess she looks like an elf in black. -.- am i mean?

my grandma and my cute little cousin came to my house today. according to yue zhi, my cousin if definitely not little. he is fat. so fat little cousin? hmmm. my grandma was helping my mum to bake some new year cookies. and my grandma said i looked quite different compared to last time. erm. the last time she saw me was in november i guess. maybe she forgot how i looked.

no band next week. ah well, i didnt bring home my bass cos my dad couldnt fetch me on fri so my poor bass is still in the band room. i think i have to clean the band room soon cos apparently the trombones didnt clean it. or maybe they did but it still looks quite dirty or even worse. my brother will be camping in school from tues to fri for his NCC camp so this means i can hog the entire computer.. wahaha.. so much so for today, i think i am going to continue with the mass production of xmas cards. =)

since i have the time, i shall blog about mr helmi, as a tribute of him being a super math teacher and a band teacher for 5 years.

yesterday, the band celebrated his farewell, alongside with the parting of mr davis. surprisingly, i did not tear, but i have figured out, rather not tear than to shed a crocodile tear.

mr helmi made his long solo speech which was quite motivating and somewhat touching, i would say. but due to the void of impossible memory, i cant really recall what he said exactly, but rather, he was quite proud of the band in conclusion.

after band, francesca stayed back to stocktake whereas tedrid, benjamin, li hui and i stayed to accompany/help her. then chun bok told me to help him find mr helmi about the band room keys cos we were staying back and he had to go off soon.

1) i walked around the whole school compound but could not find him. perhaps i missed out the toilet. i called ying qing and chun bok said to call mr helmi. mr helmi didnt pick up his phone.

2) i finally saw him in the staff room.

3) then he came out. i told him i gave him a miss call. he checked his phone, "oh, even xiu li gave me a missed call'. i was like, hello? i am right in front of you!

4) i should call him when the air con or light bulb in the band room drops. -.-

5) he spent a long time explaining loyang view and loyang rise when i stay a but far from that place and i hardly been there before.

6) i know the end of year math exam answers are 70 pages long.

7) i know my math teacher next year is ms lim chew her or whatsoever her name is.

8) i have gotten permission from mr helmi to post his photo, but it must not be obscene cos he does not want to appear in the news.

9) as a tribute for his teaching, i will post 2 photos to commemorate this teacher. thanks mr helmi, for being a super math teacher. i am feeling bad for doing quite lousy in my past tests and exams. i definitely will try better next year.

M.O.G.

*blushes* please do NOT look at me when somebody accidentally mentions M.O.G.'s name cos i will feel very retarded and out of place.

M.O.G. is perhaps one of the few nice guys that i have ever met in my years while studying. the oldest? i guess so. but i have to say, M.O.G. is quite a different person in terms of character and personality compared to the other guys in my class or school.

the first fact that i discovered about M.O.G. is that he is born of the same day as me. but perhaps about half a decade earlier than me. secondly, he is smart. definitely is. he can be from a junior college that isn't without the top 10 of rankings and qualify for a place in university. furthermore, he slacked throughout his first year. i am like, super impressed.

M.O.G. has been a great friend to me throughout this year and has offered me advice when it comes to dealing with stuffs that i believe i am most likely unable to cope with. even though the times that we have talked online may not be extremely long, but i definitely cherish these moments.

i think he is a rather well-read person, one that you can turn to for advice if you need help. plus, he is a really humble guy. i once told him he was a well-read person but he just said he wasn't and if i wanted to know what is meant by well-read, i should talk to someone else (i am not going to disclose the name).

i wish M.O.G. was my brother but i know he isnt and he will never be. but i seriously hope that the both of us can remain as friends. it is defintely a wonderful pleasure to know him.

once again, M.O.G. isnt his initials. s.x.y. please do not spell out M.O.G. on my tagboard. thank you.

2005-12-13T20:28:00.000+08:00

ahaha. i changed the music again. hmmm. it sounds quite ok now. but hopefully wont have that pop-up that says internet explorer has to shut down or whatsoever. so super annoying. and no i will not change my template for the time being.

my parents are considering going to sarawak on the 23rd to the 26th dec. most probably boarding an afternoon flight and touching down in singapore sometime at night. oh, this means i will not be attending swo's concert cos it starts at 5pm or unless i can persuade my parents that sarawak is not a nice place to go and therefore it is not worth going.

basses chalet is on the 28th to the 30th dec and por yee wants to collect $5.60 on thurs. i must remember. oh yes. i must also remember to collect $6.30 from li hui, daniel and kai keng on thurs. oh man, suddenly feeling so rich. wahaha.

tmr francesca and i will be going to buy some xmas present that must not cost more than $3 so that we can exchange during band on friday. i dont know what to get leh.. green beans? so that the person will have a green but beany xmas? wah, it sounds the hell lot crappy leh. how about dhs socks? it costs exactly $3 but the bookshop is only open on friday, which means i will hardly have any time to wrap it. but it is a bit dots.

king kong!!! i want to watch king kong!!! yay i am going to marina square on sat to watch king kong with yue zhi but i have to treat her.. hopefully, i can still survive after watching the show. not with my pocket that has a king kong hole. =.= most likely i will drop by candy empire at milenia walk to buy wonka's nerdalicious.

2005-12-10T12:15:00.000+08:00

shall blog about yesterday, the last day of band camp. firstly, during interaction time i ended up being in group 7. it was a pathetic group which has 3 sec 1s, 1 sec 2 and 1 sec 3- me. then xing qi and hong wen joined our group. so in the end we have 4 sec 1s, 2 sec 2s and 1 sec 3- me. but anyway, our group was supposed to be the winner can? but because of some miscommunication, we were tied down with yue zhi's group who had 7 slips of papers. we had 8 slips lor. but anw, that's over. so blah blah blah.. those certificate presentation ceremony..

then after flag-lowering, there was some SL debrief which is none of my business. so for the fun of waiting i decided to wait in the foyer for the rest to be dismissed. i was rather bored and tried to flip through this pink add math guidebook given by wen xiu. it was supposed to be for eric but he didnt take it. hence francesca and i split the three books among ourselves. she got a physics guidebook and a math book i think.

i isolated myself by sitting at the furthest bench available and tried to understand binomial theorem/expansion. much to my dismay, i cant. main reason was that (mr) andrew ng was also in the foyer talking to the oboe sec 1s and.. yupp. the word 'distraction' yeah? i felt quite shi1 bai4 cos earlier that day during warming up, i couldnt understand what mr davis was talking about.. what rhythm stuffs so i ended up playing crap and it was really bad. but i was quite irritated with the fact i didnt achieve much that day.

it wasnt a long wait luckily, cos the SLs all came out. after some time..

me: Li Hui, greet leh.
LH *sees mr tan*: *no response*
me: eh, you don't want to greet mr helmi ah?
LH: what?! where's he?
me and LH: good afternoon mr helmi.

we shouted across the entire foyer to greet him. ahaha. anw, ying qing, francesca, ying xian, jessalyn, yue zhi were sort of surrounding mr helmi when we reached him.

ying qing: mr helmi, what is your favourite instrument?
mr helmi: clarinet or saxophone
ying qing: yay, clarinet!
jessalyn: what about percussion?
mr helmi: ahh, percussion also not bad.
li hui and me: basses basses basses basses
me: string basses string basses string basses..
mr helmi: double basses.. *pauses* actually double basses give the band a more rounder sound. i seen other school their bands only got 1 or 2 double basses only, then very pathetic *everyone laughs* then we got 5 or 6 double basses right? they make the band look strong.
me and francesca applauds.

i saw the 'N is for fit' plastic bag. it was familiar. the one that i kept the overseas immersion project stuffs in before submitting it to mr helmi.
me: mr helmi, is that our overseas project?
mr helmi *looks down at the plastic bag*: ahh, yes.
mr helmi took out all the projects and passed me ours (done with yue zhi) and he said 'yours quite good'. i smirked. then it was in this transparent plastic bag meant for the A3 leaflet. so i requested to have that 'N is for fit' plastic bag back.

first surprise: mr helmi calls jessalyn 'linette' when returning them their file.
they open it to find that their first page contained "8,9,9,8" out of which every section was graded over 10. both jessalyn and ying xian were very happy.

second surprise:
yue zhi and i decided to go somewhere quiter to look at our marks. we half expected something like "6,5,6,5" for the first page. however, when we flipped to the first page of the rubrics, it went "9,9,9,9". both of us screamed and jumped with joy like monkeys on the loose. or rather escapees from the Institute of Mental Health. we flipped to the second page, we got '8,9'. our total was a 53/60, which mr helmi rounded up to 89% for us. OMG!!!!! we were soo happy and kept screaming and then mr tan came over and said i was very noisy cos my screams.. yeah, you should know it. unless you want to have a heart attack.

UNBELIEVABLE. INCREDIBLE. haha. then in the comments part, mr helmi was singing praises of our project, rather then commenting on it. nice design skills. thanks to me man.. ying qing also liked the design. francesca said the leaflet was very nice. no wonder mr helmi said it was quite good, considering that we were a two-people group. mr helmi rawks my socks. this grade can be my best xmas present already.. cos the grades will be shown in next year's report book and pupil's portfolio. hopefully, it accounts for all the subjects as well. =)

li hui was ranting about how unfair it was.. and she wanted mr helmi to grade the USA trip project. hahaha. too bad.

haha. i took stupid bus 12 again. i am definitely not going to take it again. so long and sian. then there was this guy he kept making funny noises when he was sleeping.. then everybody in the bus was staring at him. haha. free entertainment in a boring bus ride..

i guess i am going to wake up at 0330 tmr morning to watch the liverpool and chelsea match. *sighs. which means it will end at about 0530 and then i dont even need to sleep liao. most likely i will end up dozing off during indoor, which is bad cos it means showing disrespect to mr davis.

whether i wake up or not will depend fate. but anw, i am wishing liverpool all the best in this coming match!

2005-12-05T23:16:00.000+08:00

boredness. i went to white sands library to borrow story books and i realise they have a rather limited variety of storybooks. in the end i decided to borrow some of shakespeare's works like king henry VIII, hamlet, titus andronicus and othello. just these few first. and they dont have james patterson's latest books. which means i have to go and search for it high and low again. and i made a reservation about this book titled 'night mares' by manda scott. should have gone down to geylang east or marine parade library cos it wasnt on loan yet. haiz. other time then pay S1.55 lor. no choice.

great. wonderful. i just heard the mrt 'roaring' by. at least i have the sound for companion. but it's a bit irritating at times. luckily it isn't somewhat near the main road or else my ear drums burst liao.

hmmm. i have no more school work left. OH. francesca hasnt returned me my math assignment yet. i suddenly remembered. then i have to lend yue zhi hong lou meng and some book review stuffs.. HAHA. and i think i most likely be going to play badminton with yue zhi.. whee. sounds interesting. afterall this estate is rather boring.

ok. i am officially living in pasir ris now. took me a somewhat long time to connect the computer correctly. especially the internet cables cos i accidently connected one to the wrong port. heh.

from pasir ris to dhs its a hell long ride. and the estate is really in a bad shape cos its terribly dirty. maybe its because kembangan is one of the cleanest estates then i cant get used to the dirt and stuffs. plus this estate is supposedly newer than the one in kembangan, considering that kembangan has been there for about 16 years already. but then kembangan has been repainted quite a couple of times and there are always maintenance works going on, so lengkong tiga looks much nicer than this street 51.. oh yeah, the residents commitee in kembangan is also relatively rich i guess..

i dont like pasir ris and i think its very crowded with lots of hdb blocks and there is hardly any nice people around.. sadness.

2005-11-30T18:23:00.000+08:00

oh. me packed up. going to pasir ris soon.

lengkong tiga. taken from my house.

2005-11-30T18:15:00.000+08:00

i love a twist of fate. omg. i love the plot. i think i am going to watch it again with yue zhi if she wants to. afterall $38 isnt very expensive.. the live band under the stage is quite pro also.. i love the plot of this murder mystery play. woahaha.

2005-11-28T22:41:00.000+08:00

my grandmother and family shifted today.. the movers came at 0650. then they loaded everything to the lift lobby by 0830. i was watching everything from my window. then they were gone by noon. it will be my turn on fri though.

i will miss kembangan. defintely. especially lengkong tiga.

2005-11-26T21:01:00.000+08:00

wonderful. i deleted the picture already. XD

2005-11-24T16:35:00.000+08:00

this is the problem with old aunties that are so paranoid about the latest bird flu series. one nice scenario as follows:

- when one sees a bird, one usually don't associate that particular bird with those migratory birds that might spread bird flu.

at the lift landing at the void deck. i met this ah mn, specifically an old auntie. she was standing there, outside the vacant lift, uncertain if she should enter. so i decided to take the lift. then i saw this bird, rather, a mynah. so i was about to enter the lift then that old auntie said "you dare enter arh? now got bird flu then what if the bird suddenly attack in the lift?" erh. i rolled my eyes and decided not to heed her 'advice'.

i entered the lift and the old auntie didnt want to. so it happened that the moment i entered the lift, the mynah walked out innocently. so i had this heck care attitude towards this old auntie and i just pressed the button for the lift to close. hee. i win.

if everybody believes just like what the old auntie believed, then there will be no end as to whether singapore will have birds that might help to spread bird flu. you cant expect the health authorities to microchip each bird and keep trace of where they fly, what they eat blah blah. so if that old auntie is fated to get bird flu then i laugh lor. suay right?

in conclusion, tese old aunties pose more of a health hazard to me than any birds. listening to their load of crap is worse than facing a bird that comes into my view. XD

2005-11-23T21:13:00.000+08:00

tmr is the day. the day that i am going to science centre to watch harry potter. yay. then there is this buffet dinner that is tempting me also. XD

sianz. nothing to do, except slacking, watching tv.. my grandmother cooked curry today and she asked my mum to take it from her today. one good advantage living in the block opposite my grandma's. but then she's shifting to savannah on the 28 nov, next monday. then i might not have the chance to eat her curry anymore. that is so sad.. its nice lor. then she threw away all her cookie cutters cos she wont be baking new year goodies anymore once she shifts there.. next year no nice cookies liao, except those from my aunts.

the US people coming back liao.. time flies man, school hols has started for like 2 weeks liao. and which means yue zhi will be back in about a week's time. which is very fast.

haiz. i shall pass life a day by a day. XD

2005-11-22T19:37:00.000+08:00

ok. new blogskin and new tagboard. thanks for the disgusting tagboard, it's jien's idea that i should have one in place. but i think the blogskin is nice. =)

today and yesterday the weather was superb. it was so nice. and cold. of cos. i havent felt so nice before especially in singapore.. hopefully it will be like that for everyday.

shifting to pasir ris on the 2nd of dec, one day after sec 4s grad. 15 years and 10 months of staying at kembangan.. it's quite nolstagic. no more familiar people around when i shift to pasir ris.. and pasir ris is so ulu. must walk so far to the mrt. then in late 2006 i'll be shifting to upp changi road north.. even worse. and where is dhs? in mount sinai. what the hell.
then after band on 2nd dec, i will be going straight to this unknown and unfamiliar place instead of my nice house.

tried to understand excretion.. but i think homeostasis sounds interesting. haha.

2005-11-21T22:17:00.000+08:00

damn. i cut my middle finger accidentally while trying to close the lid of
the can that held the string bass fund. argh. hopefully i dont have to go
for an anti-titanus jab as it is a minor cut..

guess what?! my dad got 2 free tickets to watch harry potter & the globet
of fire at the omni threatre in science centre. so our whole family are
watching it this thursday. plus, my dad got a 10% discount on these tickets
to some swiss circus thing.. hopefully can go lar..

lol. today's band is quite fun. cos there is a puny person. XD

2005-11-20T22:24:00.000+08:00

ahahaha! i finished my chinese book review already. yay. jien said my blog had no tagboard and looked rather unfinished. lol. no tagboard then nobody can criticise what i write. no link and no identification then hopefully can insult people annonymously. haha. just kidding.

anw, i went to milenia walk with my parents and brother. i went to this shop called candy empire or something like that. there was a large variety of sweets and chocs and snacks basically. i found my wonka sweets at last! last ate them in australia. my brother splurged on chocs.. but still, it's his money not my business. ok. i saw bok, as in mrs bok. so i was like 'isnt she mrs bok?' lol. she was wearing a mini skirt as usual.

2005-11-19T22:44:00.000+08:00

today jien came down for band. she very pro lor.. she can play like everything for mozart's sym no 40.. then mvmnt one for ********* she can play everything and it was like a rare chance that string bass was so strong after our seniors left.. even each pizz was like super strong. but we screwed up chun bok's piece.. we took out the manuscript papers that fran xy & zy have copied and then the papers kept flying off to the floor. it was like twice or thrice.. then mr ng was quite irritated i think. then we didnt play much for that mvmnt. so we went on to the third mvmnt. we used tubas file. so jien was trying to count the notes cos we weren't used to such low notes. and then i couldnt make sense out of anything cos apparently when three people share a stand it is quite hard, esp for the string basses. so we played very less for that movement..
zhi yin is flying off tmr and xiao you just came back. haiz.

my brother was quite unhappy about him gaining weight. he gained like 6 kg in 7 months, and he was rather pissed. so yesterday he drew an eating plan for himself. then dinner, he suggested eating crabs. so we went. then afterwards, he wanted to eat three crabs. haiz..

hmm, today he was trying to do 100 crunches.. lol, so comedy.

2005-11-17T22:09:00.000+08:00

so bored. yesterday went to pp to amend my spects and the man was super seh. he bent it once using a couple of pliers then can liao. after that he insisted on making it higher. lol.and was rather polite.. nice service heh..

today i went earlier to sp with yx. mr helmi said if we wanted the keys must reach school before 10am. so at 0950 i was at kembangan, yx was at sengkang. then yx said ask mr helmi to leave the keys in his locker so that we could retrieve it at 1030. so i asked her to send a model sms so i could just forwarded it to him. then it started with a 'hi mr helmi' and ended with a 'thank you :)' OMG.. sounded so polite..

i reached the school at about 1020 and yx came about 1045 i think. mr helmi came out of the general office and saw me. so he said that the keys was with mrs wong then when we went to find mrs wong, mr tum went to the general office to draw the keys. how contradicting.

oh yeah, yx tied her hair for the very first time i saw her in dhs. i was highly amused by her look and she was like 'whats so funny about it?' haha. but she untied her hair soon after, which is quite sad.

isdjkgbhsasuietwqhf. got another indoor test. this is the helluva irritating. i dont care liao. i flopped it today. aigshsadighiowejhqjsaghseuighoqwugnvejfibn

2005-11-15T15:34:00.000+08:00

the lamest teacher on earth should be mr helmi. whenever i ask him something and he is about to reply, i can hardly keep a straight face.

the first time was during this math test when i got questions 1, 2 and 3 correct. then at question 4, i didn’t know how to do and i crapped up some working. then it so happened that question 4 was on a fresh sheet of foolscap which had the margins printed a bit out of line. he drew an arrowhead and marked: this paper has defects! -_-

the second time was when during the math exam i wrote an ‘i don’t know’ on the answer sheet and he arrowed that ‘i don’t know’ and put a big zero next to it. -_-

then last week, he said francesca was his sister/daughter/blood-related relative all because mr yeo said francesca and him looked alike. -_-

following up, he asked me and francesca how many key-drops were there when there is obviously only one. -_- i had this feeling to tell him that there were two key-drops and i did. i said the
second one was the exhaust pipe of his car. he was laughing. and he said if i really dropped the keys in his exhaust pipe, he would make me pay his repair bill the following morning. -_-

today i went for sp and asked him for the keys to the band room. just so coincidentally, he was carrying a stack of whatever-it-is to his car and he told me to wait outside the staff room. then after that, i followed him to the general office, but to realise that mrs wong had already drawn the keys. so he went to mrs wong's locker and went to find mrs wong i guess. then he came out and asked me what time i was going to stay until. so i said afternoon. -_- and he was like.. 12pm should be enough right, 1 1/2 hours. so i nodded my head and he told me not to go beyond 1pm like that, cos after 12pm i had to put the keys in the key-drop.

mr helmi: if there is anything wrong, you must msg me.
me: what will go wrong?
mr helmi: you'll never know. for example, if a non-band student enters the band room, *pauses* or the air-con catches fire..
me *rolled eyes*: if the air-con catches fire, the alarm will be triggered. (i know i will never practise until the air-con gets overheated)
mr helmi: oh yeah, you play double-bass right *mimicking the action of playing a double bass*? if your double bass breaks into two pieces, that one you must inform me immediately.

ROFLMAO. i dont think i will mishandle the double bass till that extent.

2005-11-15T15:31:00.000+08:00

hmmm. dont blame me for spelling errors. i am half blind here eh.

i played ball with my cousin, who was a rugger. ok, then the ball came a bit too fast and my specs just crumbled. damn it. it's only half a year. i cant see anything.

2005-11-13T23:02:00.000+08:00

what the hell. i cant find any chinese book reviews on the net.. i very lazy read chinese story books then still must write a review of at least 1000 words.. chinese very hard to crap one leh.. english there's always a way to crap. NOT CHINESE. this is getting on my nerves. there is no way i am going to spend one day doing my stupid chinese holiday homework.

maybe i find some ways and come up a same piece with yue zhi. lol. who cares man, we have different chinese teachers next year. i want ms tania chia for physics. the truth is i rather dont take physics. its F F F F throughout. ok, i'm still cool about it. do i look like i care for physics?

2005-11-13T22:49:00.000+08:00

hello. the photo below doesnt look sick does it? jien says it does. oh well, lets leave it to our own imagination.

yue zhi replied me in western europe.. she sent two emails and i cant believe we are conversing lar.. oh man.

ok. hmmm. i just came back from celebrating my grandmother's birthday. nothing much to say.

2005-11-13T22:44:00.000+08:00

2005-11-12T18:03:00.000+08:00

ok. xiao you wants an entry dedicated to her. it must be more than 5 sentences.

xiao you, have a nice time in china for one week. think of singapore as a clean and green city that is incompatible with any other country. you should remind yourself of the your old bass and your current one (country of origin). remember that you should consider the prices of some stuffs before buying or else it will happen like zhi yin's card. take good care of yourself and enjoy the time that you are there. lastly, see you.

ok. its more than 5 sentences.

2005-11-12T17:45:00.000+08:00

today there was no indoor test. oops. which means i'll most likely be tsking taking it alone when francesca is in USA. crap. xiao you's flying off tonight to china. next week will be zhi yin flying off to chiangmai. oh no. string bass people will be stuck at 4 until end nov. sad.

i think i will most likely go for sp before thursday. but going alone. erm.. not that i mind but the last time i was in the work room alone, didn't really notice mr helmi entering and his cough gave me the rudest shock in my life. plus i am not very sure if mrs wong will be in school for this week then mr helmi, i'm not sure. though he says he'll be in school from 14th to 18th nov. haiz. see first.

jien came down today cos she thought francesca and i got inddor test. she wore this super short skirt that was much shorter than her jc skirt. according to francesca, mr ng made some noise about it. ok.

tedrid suggested a farewell dinner for francesca last night. so sweet ehz? but he was sick today. then benjamin, jien, me, francesca and zhi yin decided to go for lunch together. maybe a farewell lunch. so francesca called tedrid. here's the main gist of it:

fran: hello. you sick ar? *snorts from benjamin, jien, me, zhi yin and xiao you*
jien (says loudly with intention for everybody to hear): are you very sick? do you want me to go and visit you? ROFL
fran: you want to go to kallang mac for lunch?
jien: or do you want me to go your house, which means i cant have lunch with the rest.
then the whole time jien was being cheeky.

we stayed until 1440, which was quite late cos we reached at 1330. but we talked alot of rubbish, esp about jien and yao cong. and how sweet it was of *ahem* to send jien a wallpaper of 'i love you'. haha. then somehow, it started.

Jien asked zhi yin who she liked and francesca immediately replied 'justus'. then we all laughed and jien huh-ed at zhi yin and zhi yin said francesca was kidding. so jien asked about xiao you who wasnt there. then francesca replied 'por yee and hong wen'. benjamin said she very hua xin.. then jien asked me. i shrugged my shoulders. nobody. =))

after some time, i dont know how (mr) andrew ng was being mentioned in the conversation.. something about having his number or what.. then francesca was raising her eyebrows at me.. those funny kind of expression.. so jien got the hint and looked quite surprised and unbelievable.. thanks man, francesca. but it's quite some time back already. =)

ok.. then nothing much interesting.

for yue zhi: your partmate is down with throat infection. (you know what i mean) have a nice time in western europe!

2005-11-09T22:38:00.000+08:00

wahlau this is so boring. luoshengmen sucks a hell lot. let's make it clear. i hate that sucky director. no wonder i cant stand macbeth in japanese too. hmm.

today i went for self prac with francesca and jien came down. i cant play 2 octaves for most of the scales and guess what? i dont care if i pass or fail. at the most i dont have a post. lol. what's so big deal about it? not like no post no life. more like no money no life.

today the financial literacy workshop was quite fun. i got about $150000 cash in hand. but then havent minus off the house mortgage and some school loan lar.. so rubbish. janitor joey pro lor.. first to get out of rat race. the moral of the story is, no point studying so hard now cos you can be rich even when you are a janitor. *dont roll your eyes*

my knees hurt. i cant bend them too much. haiz.the last time i scraped my knee was at least 1 year ago when i was still in guides. tmr first lesson is pe. gosh. and have lessons until 1630. will be so tired.. great. yue zhi's flying off tmr. plus i need to email her what happened during each band prac. i must not forget.

vertical burn by earl emerson is a unique book i guess. using arson to sabotage people.. woah, life as a fireman is dangerous but it sounds fun though. i guess it's really tough. especially when the three member rescue team climbed some 70 storeys to save people and to realise they were about to be shot. tsk tsk.

i dont know what my next book will be. might be reading neil humprey's book again. lol. i cant think of anything else. and i cant find a place that sells two string bass pins. yamaha at plaza sing only has one. the rest none. oh, how wierd and annoying.

ohyeah, the in2015 results arent out yet. its going mid nov liaoz. AHHHHHH!!!

2005-11-05T17:51:00.000+08:00

today was quite a sad day. i woke up super early cos i had to go to the posb at simei to withdraw some money from my account.. every month i deposited some $100 into the account and this is the first time i had to withdraw money out. i didnt realise until now that i could actually buy a hofner string bass- the one that i'm currently playing on now, with the amount of money i had in my bank account. but it will really look pathetic if i take out so much money to buy a string bass then my bank account will have like super less money. haha. anw, that's not the point. but apparently, the sight of money makes me happy.

ok.. first of all, 28 nov still got the twist of fate musical at esplanade.. according to mr ken it is a comedy. but i bet the ticket wont come in cheap even though the school will subsidise part of it. earlie on, my brother attended some choir concert from denmark.. but he likeed it and i'm not sure if i will like the twist of fate but hopefully it wont be a twist of my money.. then still got harry potter's movie. then most likely i wont be watching flightplan cos yue zhi will be flying off this thursday. oliver twist sounds nice.. but i shall see if it is worth my money. then still got vjcsb concert.. jien say must go but then haiz.. then still got basses chalet which will be very very expensive. then still got string bass pins havent buy yet. then still got for the sec 4s farewell. sooner or later, i wont have enough money to last through my studying years.

yesterday we dissected a pig's kidney. somehow i was grouped together with joey, tien leng, yan wen, ping yen, royston, xin zi. then the guys mutilated the kidney can? they very disgusting leh. the first thing ping yen did was to stab the pig's kidney with the dissecting needle and tien leng held it up high as if he was offering it to a god or something.. i didnt really want to watch cos i couldnt bear to see the bloodied kidney so ms yap was like nvm.. the they cut the kidney into half and one half was used as 'steak' while the other half was cut up to become 'satay'. very gross lehz.. cant stand animals being ill-treated, but maybe humans are alright i guess.. humans can talk. they have that one main advantage than animals. all animals are equal. but all humans are not equal. some are more equal than the others.

so crappy.. lol. and i still cant find manda scott's night mares after being to the national library yesterday. haiz. but i borrowed earl emerson's book.. havent started reading it yet.

2005-11-04T22:30:00.000+08:00

so sian. never go for sp cos i wanted to bras basah with yue zhi to print our leaflet. so there was this shop (BBC image) that mrs goh said could print a3. and i passed her the soft copy and she asked for the name of the document. so i said 'leaflet' and she said she couldnt find it. so i was quite annoyed with her. then no choice lor. what to do? in the end, we went walking the whole of bras brasah complex. we saw many other digital imaging shops but they appeared rather busy and erm unfriendly. so we went into this shop (colourdoc) that had nobody. then we asked if we could check whether such a file 'leaflet' existed so the man was quite alright and there it was. 'leaflet' did existed. apparently some people dont know how to spell leaflet and i specifically told that person that 'leaflet' was a microsoft word doc. we ended up printing there. it cost $3.20 which is $0.70 more than BBC image. then we found some defaults cos there were two pictures that didn't show up well enough as it was on the computer screen. in the end, we decided that to print it again. maybe sometime later next week. but overall it was quite ok.

then we went to popular there. it has changed quite a lot since the both of us went there. there was one level just on story books. OMG!!! i want to spend one whole day there can? then i saw a treble clef paper clip and decided to buy it for yue zhi's bday present since she didn't mind it. and another scorpion paper clip for *** *** since her bday is on tues cos she also scorpio what.. yupp. then we went to national library which was a short walk.

we were like super lost cos the main lending library was underground or rather, in the basement. unfortunately, both of us were used to libraries that were above the ground floor. so the higher it went, the more remote it was and we came to this level when we were the only ones. so i thought something was very wrong. it is already nov and considered a school holiday for secondary schools. then we decided to go down and we realised that we were really at the wrong place. so funny but at least we managed to know how to get to the place that we could borrow our books (not the library).

2005-11-01T10:18:00.000+08:00

tmr is wednesday. argh. that weird financial literacy workshop again. the whole stack of stuffs there is quite common sense i guess. but i would appreciate it if it was a shorter stretch of time can? so long from 0800 to about 1335.. want to read also cannot.. what the hell.

yesterday my mum's friend came to my house. she was a malay. my brother had to hide in his room cos he was very sure he would say sth racist if he talked. ahaha. so she came and gave us some cookies and some chocolate agar.

i read finish the horse whisperer. as the title suggests, its about a horse being involved in an accident and how a girl's (annie) life changed because many thought the horse should be put down but annie's mother refused to put the horse to sleep. hence she went to search for a horse whisperer that might cure her horse emotionally. furthermore, annie didnt want to see the horse because she was emotionally unstable. so it describes how their lives changed after travelling some thousand of miles and at the very end, the horse whisperer died because the horse went out of control suddenly and the hooves crunched on his skull. he sacrificed his life to save annie. haiz*

i cant find the da vinci code and seabiscuit. oh crap, i have no idea where they are. but i think they are with my cousin and the whole trouble is she lives in woodlands. no way am i going to go there. but bi wen wants to borrow the da vinci code. lol. shall ask them come over. haha.

i just realised that in this year at dhp, the number of films that we have watched is quite alot. and this engineered me to have a different opinion of my own roots. the mainland chinese. i realised that they have been riding on horses to go for battles. i CANT stand that fact. and they do not treat their horses as if they are their pride or whatsoever. see the way they use the whip to lash at the horses during battles? the westerners that we have seen in the films let their horses wear armour suits can!? see the difference? not that the chinese ill treat their horses or what. horses are their mode of transport during battle. why must they choose horses? why cant they choose bulls or some other animals? i thought the chinese always regarded dragons as their miracle creature esp in ancient times. why dont they go and find dragons to carry them during war? even the emperor's suit also got the appearance of dragons. what the hell. then what is horses compared to them? shit or what.. horses are nice creatures. so are the others. its just that animals cant talk or else i am very sure that every creature under the sky would rebel against human kind. ALL except dragons right? animals 'helping' humans to go for war without armour suits. snorts*

two more weeks to yue zhi's bday. ahaha. oh that reminds me. i am running low of story books already.

2005-10-31T20:48:00.000+08:00

termites infested the entire art room that stored the 3 mac pcs. mrs goh's expression was like.. i just came back from war. haha. rui jie picked up a hello kitty soft toy lying in the cardboard box that seemed very safe from termites then all of a sudden, termites started crawling all over the hello kitty. i screamed interror. even hello-kitties are not spared. hurhur. so ironic. i always thought that air-con room was cleaner then the main art room that had no air-con but i was proved wrong. now i have doubts entering the art room again. YUCK!!!

ying xian gave me a container of cookies cos she said i gave her a bday present. woah, the cookies were nice, just that it wasn't that sweet enough. but, anw, it was quite tasty and i enjoyed it. thanksalot ying xian!!!

francesca brought her bass back today. we went to sp from 2pm to 2.30pm then at first mrs wong wasn't in school so we very reluctant to go for sp. then after that we went to find mr helmi and he said we must give him the keys by 2.30 sharp and i think his expression was abit.. like not-so-happy like that. partly is our fault cos we last minute then say we want go for sp.. like quite selfish like that.. but he very good give us half an hour..

haiz out of time liao. i want to finish the horse whisperer by nicholas evans by tonight.

2005-10-30T11:51:00.000+08:00

argh. in2015 finalists will be out in nov.. i hope i'm one of them.. but i know i won't cos my piece of work was as good as nothing. clinging on to a false hope..

can't find a place that provides a3 printing.. i only can find photocopying and photoprinting.. what the hell..

i read finish neil hamphrey's story book already. its with yue zhi now. bought it at times at tampines mall for about 14 dollars.

that's about it.

2005-10-27T20:26:00.000+08:00

yesterday yue zhi came my house and we finished the itinery.. left the leaflet. a3 size leh, then most probably going to art friend and print.. then we met a 24 year old girl whom asked if we were from dunman high and we said yes. so she started talking to us, like how's life in dhs and the teachers.. yupp and she was from choir. she quite friendly lar.. haha.

wah lau they changed the entire time table lar.. this is so unfair can.. suddenly art becomes on monday and afternoon lessons become on thurs.. what rubbish. then we still got to copy it manually from the noticeboard.. ok, i'm a slacker.

got 5 free lessons today.. yay, life is so slack.. except math and bio.. read finish 'five dead men' already. very nice book. describes the murder of five dead grown men and how their deaths are mysteriously related.. i might be borromwing james patterson's latest books or buying them.. yeah plus 'night mares', something about horses being murdered or somewhat..

harry potter's going to air soon.. 17 nov. fran and jien wants to watch. i want to watch flightplan with yue zhi too. ahaha. okok..

2005-10-25T22:30:00.000+08:00

i'm trying to touch up my portfolio.. the updated one looks alike with yue zhi's one now.. haiz.

gosh. i was judging the sec 2 mind sports olympiad strategic board games competition then mr lim said i playing truancy.. what the hell.. anw, yue zhi and sam are the other judges for the strategic board games. whee.

tmr cindy teo say got no afternoon lessons so yue zhi's coming to my house for the australia post overseas fieldtrip project. ahaha. but we going gramercy first. boo.

i want to go off le.. oh yeah, mystery math rawks. i love that 'movie'. anw, i'm surprised they used math to solve serial murders. i want to be like them too, just that i'm not a world-class mathematician yet and i doubt i'll make it to that stage. haha. ok, i shall go off to read another murder-based storybook.

2005-10-20T21:46:00.000+08:00

wahhh.. i cant believe my aim for chem is so accurate.. i hope i will pass math. =)) if i pass geog this exam arh (which will be like dunno how many months later), i'll probably end up erm.. hugging ms pear..? ahaha, anw, that will not be anytime soon.. LOL.

it happened that i have had to get back my paper in order of how i fared today.. argh. chem, higher chinese, art. aha. my art was good!!! I LOVE ART. ok, i got to say it- i will not take mep even if i'm forced to. i will take art elective again.. whoosh, dhp students have more art lessons than the main stream students cos apparently we have longer school term than them and mrs goh is suggesting about bringing us for outdoor shooting (photography). i want to go some safe place and not meet a snake. boo. pulauubinpulauubinpulauubinpulauubinpulauubin

tmr got band.. sianz.. sat going to east coast park with yue zhi to continue the australia overseas project. yay. hopefully can get the chance to cycle or play volleyball. the place near the school is the best but got no bicycle rental shops. haha. FLIGHTPLAN is on show TODAY!!! i want to go and watch. wanting to go watch it since i saw the sneaks during the charlie and the chocolate factory movie.. whee..

the bus driver was a piece of sh.t today can? he sped pass traffic lights when they were umber lor. how can a bus driver, of all people, be doing such a thing? then he ignored people who were flagging the bus. idiot leh.. got two malay boys run like siao to catch the bus then they reached the door just in time but it closed 1 sec early then the bus driver just drove off lor. even if he racist also don't like that lar.. people have the initiative to run like siao then he don't even have the basic courtesy wait for them.. wlau. then erm i rang the bell before the stop i was going to alight then he ignored the bell and stopped TWO stops after the bell sounded.. stupid sh.t lar then i had to walk back two bus stops lor.. luckily it was down a slope. yeah. no doubt he provided a free roller coaster ride, but if he were to meet with an accident because of his need to reach the interchange on time, i seriously doubt that he would have the conscience to lead the rest of his life in peace. too bad. he endangered the lives of the commuters and i seriously pity the future ones.

saddam's trial is bound to be interesting. his first sentence was like quite good lar i guess. better than expected. haha.

2005-10-19T17:05:00.000+08:00

so sian.. tmr is the last friggin' day of the marking days.. i just read the entire book of the city of joy. this book lasted me some months cos apparently i was reading it slowly during the exam period.. hurhur. its a nice book cos dominique lapierre managed to give accounts of how people managed to die and how lepers managed to have their limbs amputated. like YAY. but still, i'm intending to get another book pretty soon cos story books aren't boring. =)) and by the way, i still have one of my dan brown's book with ms pear. the end of year is approaching soon. AHA.

talking online with mei jie now. apparently the nanyang girls had their exam scripts back liao and she was satisfied with her grades!!! pro lar.. when i get mine back it'll be in a sea of redness. haiz. they are going to china from next tues to 5 dec.. ok its china so i wont exactly insist on going there so desparately.. but germany would be nice lol. ballack and kahn.. plus the university of heidelberg. aha.

LUOHAN OUTING!!! the last one was quite some time back.. apparently lc suggested if it could be a shopping trip so that they can get their stuffs before flying off to china.. then someone said we would only be following them to get their stuffs cos apparently dhs ppl are not going anywhere anytime soon. like YAY. bbq is nice lol. then can play soccer or somewhat.. see first but i guess will have to be somewhat in dec cos the hci and nanyang have their trip then i think some dhs ppl also got obs until fri..

so sian.. no more free sms left liao until next month.. wthell. cant rmbr to whom i kept smsing to.. vvvv super less talk time left also.. so super irritating. argh. lol. shall go dig out more story books to read. boo.

2005-10-17T21:23:00.000+08:00

i finished my damned portfolio. it looks messed up but anw, i dont care. for once, it's over. plus it was supposed to be handed up last sat at the latest but who cares.. at least, i reckon it's neat cos it's hand-made lor. at least i just used the raw materials and scrape materials. i used some shoelace to tie up all the reflections. haha.

yue zhi and ying xian did not go for obs. ahaha. one fell down and one had flu, fever and cough.

11 of nov must hand in the overseas immersion proj.. yue zhi's flying off on the 10 nov. germany belgium switzerland italy and france. i want to go lor.. 3 weeks somemore. but i would choose to go germany switzerland belgium italy finland and scotland. haha that's one more country. anw, on sat yue zhi and i went to junction 8, orchard and plaza singapura in 6 hours. like YAY. we were supposed to sit down to discuss the project but as we discussed along the way, we changed our minds.. hence, in our very first journal for the meeting- different places allow us to have different thinkings to let have different decisions. uh huh. then we were saying we should have a proj that amuses mr helmi with our so-called adventures rather than doing the proj. ahaha.

the next time we meet i think will be sometime this week and the most ideal place will be at pasir ris park. so in our journals, we'ved been as far as junction 8 to pasir ris. oh no. what if mrs wong flips through it? woah, both of us can die liaoz.. cos our theme also quite erm.. ok, that's one of the thing i have been looking forward to but i don't know how life will be like after the 12 of nov.. yue zhi's away and i'm stuck with nothing but more band practices. crap lar, i should have applied for the job attachment week lor.. then at least i have one week doing something that is PRACTICAL. wlau it's too late liaoz. hope i fall down or sth then i can stay at home and slack. oh man then there's the parent child day, where the disgusting portfolio becomes the sudden attraction..

my reflections i got a total of 4 exceptionals cos of lang art, bio, chem and csp. wow. that's abit pathetic i think but i guess its quite good compared to the rest. surprisingly i scored better for physics reflection than math. alot better. i dont understand why. math there were 3 animations. one for the title, name and animation. then physics only had 1 animation for the title and i had a commendable for creativity in layout whereas math got somewhat developing. wthell to weird teachers. plus my chinese reflection i only got acceptable for creativity then the other teachers that have the same design all gave exceptional except ms pear and mrs tan. so irritating. ok, i hate chinese. next year it will be worse when there's mr fong.

dont want ms yap to leave.. according to yue zhi, she will be leaving cos either mr fong or ms yap have to leave when they tie the knot.. then we have some mrs lim back.. some band teacher before she went for her maternity leave.. then most likely we have a new math teacher and i hope ms chia will be taking my class *brad pitt* for physics cos mrs har will be taking 3H and 3J i guess. ahaha.

lol. its kinda late. i want to sleep. cos i want to sleep as early as possible.. wahaha.

2005-10-14T19:15:00.000+08:00

haha. no more exams. well i guess my art should be the best paper. or at least one of the best. i finished my final piece erh, half an hour before time. woke up at 7am to start my research which i managed to complete on time then i rushed to school in my dad's car and reached school somewhat on time and mun yi asked me to go toilet to take a stack of toilet paper for her. o.0 then mrs goh said we could start so my first reaction was 'do what'? then i started to paint, without drawing or sketching. so in half an hour i had completed half of the background and the others were starting to paint. i guess the main reason why i didn't sketch a single thing was cos my final piece was quite abstract like what mun yi said. hmmm. my background was 3 layers thick. first one was watercolour, secong one was acrylic and third was acrylic as well. then the disfigured man in the middle was two layers thick. and i had this idea that i shouldnt be painting it too thick or else it might just tear and i have to redo it. but i am satisfied with it cos it is quite hard to portray. its mostly about painting skills lor. and i bet i used alot of red and black paint.

me: mun yi do you realise that we have no invilgilator?
mun yi: good point but there's nothing to cheat in art.
rui jie: you can do something like or
*mdm nora steps in*
mdm nora: where's the teacher?
me: erh there's no teacher.
mdm nora *looks shocked*
mun yi: mdm nora, do you realise that we can't cheat in art so we don't really need an invilgilator?
mdm nora: yeah that's why i brought my papers down to mark.
.silence.

then mdm xie yao steps in after mdm nora left. ahaha. i spent some half an hour doing the touching up. it was quite ok. just that the paint took very long to dry and i tried using a hairdryer to make it dry faster. so wierd but anw, i dont care. bing huan didin't finish his art work on time then mrs goh told him to stop..

went with francesca to white sands after that.. i was in school uniform WITH my school badge. then we met mrs chew or ms tan.. we were going up the escalator then she going down towards ntuc. she waved at francesca but luckily i wasnt looking at first but francesca made me look then she waved again and i had to wave back and whoosh, we disappeared. then francesca said we were quite accomplished cos i came late, we got our stuffs (respective bday presents) and we were still ahead of time. ahaha. hopefully going to junction 8 with yue zhi tmr will be safe without meeting any teachers.

all of a sudden i feel like going cycling with jien. argh.

tmr is my official last paper. everyone in class was in a happy mood. when it was 1000, the lower sec students started screaming like monkeys from the zoo. then at 1030, the dhp students were cheering like mad.. ah. mrs har was our invilgilator today and i realised that she somehow always ended up in our class lor. then 3J got mr helmi!!! hey that's like so unfair lor. we didn't even have mr helmi to invilgilate one whole paper lor and 3J had at least twice. after the exam, li hui , diane and i went over to 3 J then we realised mr helmi was there then li hui was like mr helmi the paper is so hard.. then diane was like 'why you all math teachers so saddistic' then i laughed. and mr helmi had those kind of look on his face..

i went outside the library to look at the research for art how those past o'level students did theirs. hmm. i haven't officially started on mine yet. anw, i was walking and then i reached the spiral staircase and down i walked until i reached somewhere between level 1 and 2. mr helmi appeared. i tried to siam.

mr helmi: xiuli, why aren't you wearing your school badge?
me *looks down (shocked): erh, i forgot to pin it on.
i cant exactly remembered what he said but apparently, he asked me whether i purposely removed my school badge so that if i and my friends went out and behaved rowdily, other people wouldn't know what school we were from. then he sort of accused me that i would go out and create trouble for the school.. yeah. so funny. what a mean joke. i never even went out lor cos today is my cousin's wedding mar.. but even if today wasn't her wedding day i would be going out still.

this math exam really showed the characterisitcs of math teachers. at first the paper was harder cos the gep board said the paper was too tough. ah, it shows that math teachers are brainy and love to show off how smart they are. secondly, mr helmi said the questions from paper 2 were mostly from our assignments so i have no excuse.. (too bad i just glanced through the assignments and i think i will flop it. this is really going to be depressing to my math teacher.. SMO student flopping math exam.. wth.) math teachers have too high a standard on students and are super saddistic. the time limit was 150 mins for 11 questions. i think they are super miser with time. no math formulas given to us.. at least there should be some formulas printed for us. (not that i can't rmbr but i did the missile question in radians successfully i guess)

haiz. keep my fingers crossed that i won't do too badly. but really, there's nothing much to study now. *sighs* cca will be the next one to kill me.. might as well re-learn everything i have learnt this year than to go for cca.. haiz. gtg..

woah, vvvvvvv long never blog liao.. see, i'm such an obedient student studying for exams..

guess what! tmr's my second last paper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! man, math rawks compared to chem and bio. physics was the easiest paper out of the three sciences.. then erh, geog wasn't bad if you managed your time well cos apparently I DID! yay. then math paper 1 wasn't too bad, i'll still scrape a pass instead of failing. tmr math paper 2 i hope i can get some flying colours. cos apparently my chem was super bad. i dont think i can even score 20 out of 100. in short, it was more interesting watching ms pear marking geog exam than doing chem.. plus i managed to realise that her heels weren't cracked at all. haiz. people at her age would have cracked heels.. well, anw, it's not my problem.

today i went to get some more math worksheets from mr helmi.. i was supposed to find him on monday but somehow i couldn't find him and i forgot about it yesterday.. trigo rawks. i can do it!!! feel super happy.. mr helmi said i should forget about the past and use all my energy to focus for tmr only. then must believe in myself is all it takes for doing any task well. the rest is beyond anyone's control and just do it well with confidence and good feelings. omg, so chim but it makes pure sense right? ahaha, if only i got that much confidence, i would score quite high i guess..

today i sent like 100 sms in one day.. was asking yue zhi about math and imagine using sms to ask math questions like functions. haiz. this sat going out with yue zhi to get her obs stuff and discussing the post-fieldtrip project. then yesterday i sent some 50 plus sms to yue zhi cos she was asking me how to get sick so she could skip obs.. then she was like.. woah, can die leh, might as well go.. lol. ahaha.

ok, it's quite a long post. i shall go do a bit of research on art then i shall study math again. YAY, math rawks!!!

2005-10-02T19:34:00.000+08:00

slack weekend.. i'm suddenly feeling a little too rich. that's bad.. whenever i need money, it just disappears, then whenever i don't need it, it just pops up from nowhere. this is irritating.

yesterday i saw this double-decker bus at bedok there. then there was smoke coming out from the exhaust. i guess it was overheated. then everyone was coming down of the bus. it applies to humans, if you overwork yourself or overdo something, you end up losing everything.

i'm feeling bored and lonely..

2005-09-30T20:47:00.000+08:00

i finished all my reflections already, including cme which is due on monday.. YAY! today handed in lang arts, chinese, moot parliament already.. then got back my csp, geog, math, bio, chem reflections. quite interesting to read the comments regarding what the teachers had to say. some that the teachers wrote were quite encouraging and was somehow quite touching i guess.. imagining mr helmi writing (36x3) comments.. ms pear said i had shown a steady progress in my work and that my assignments were always neatly done.. hurhur. then my creativity layout only got commendable and she wrote- booklet approach is different from the norm. wlau.. my geog is the only one the creativity-cum-layout got commendable, except math cos i did it on plain white paper.. wlau so unfair.. mr helmi said i shouldkeep it up cos he could see that i was improving as time goes by. hmmm, that's encouraging and positive.. ms yap was neutral. she hoped that the research outreach programme will open up a door of research and vast knowledge for me.. chim yeah? got acceptable for problem-solving, commendable for insights-cum-humour at oneself, exceptional for the creativity one.. not too bad i guess? claire said it was quite nice. sadness li hui only got developing for creativity.. she was quite upset cos she spent quite some time on it too, but i guess ms yap has a different point of view from me and claire.. claire was like on the verge of helping li hui seek extra marks from ms yap.. ms yap's quite strict i guess.. chemistry was bad. v bad and i think i was one of the lowest. i got developing for the first two then exceptional for the creativity one.. haha. her comments were v long and negative in a postive way.. she was probably trying to say that hopefully, subjects taught in school will be more than topics to interest me and that i should persevere and be active and paying attention in class.. hurhur. i hardly pay attention during chem, but i never pay attention during physics and i wonder what mr lim will write. after all, i did physics reflection on a piece of white paper without pictures at all. haha. then if he sees all the other subjects so different and even math at least still got colour then he'll write stuffs like i must try to like physics or what lar.. but i don't care.. boo. can't wait too get back lang arts cos i wrote alot of crap.. csp got no comments for me..that's about it for reflections..

today math lesson i asked mr helmi question 7b, functions revision ws 1. then he said i could don't care about it.. then he didn't even teach me lor.. so i spent like 5 mins thinking of proving that question. so when i asked him to see if the method was acceptable, then he glanced through it and said yeah. then ms pear had entered the class. she gave out the reflections cos she couldn't make it for our geog lesson cos it clashed with the sce 4 prelims. so mr helmi was standing next to ms pear. and then she gave it out in register order, but mine was screwed up.. some how she kept flagging cheng meng's paper at me when i was waiting for mr helmi. ms pear was looking down so she didn't see who the person was and then i said iwasn't cheng meng then she looked up.. hurhur. she so funny, cos if i was cheng meng i would have taken the paper, not stand there do nothing right..

gave ying xian her bday present.. i placed it in an adidas plastic bag and she thought i really gave her a pink mini skirt.. haha. so cute.. ok, happy early bday ying xian! good luck for your exams..

thurs exams! am left with the following stuffs,
physics: whole syllabus and i don't care.
geog: ecotourism and population case studies
chem: mole concept, atomic bonding and separation techniques
bio: genetic engineering, gel electrophoresis, circulatory system in man, transport system in plants
math: sets, logarithms and surds, trigonometry, linear law, circular measures, pythagorean identities, remainder factor theorem
art: research worth 5 pieces of A3 paper

yay! jiayou!!!

2005-09-29T21:52:00.000+08:00

YAY! i passed my geog test. i can’t believe it lor especially after hearing ms pear say got people make careless mistakes and i highly suspected myself for being that careless fool. but i was not that or at least i didn’t make those mistakes. boo. i thrashed yue zhi haha but linette thrashed me lor. she got 18.5 which was even higher than the highest in my class by ½ a mark. linette’s class highest is like 22.5? haiz. pro lor.. anw, i improved about 6 marks from the previous test which is quite reasonable though i didn’t study much. sort of looking forward to getting back my math test now.. i doubt i will fail yet cos so far, i don’t think i made any
mistakes yet, just that i didn’t have time to complete the last question on linear law and i don’t know how to do that bonus question.. even if i know how to do, i wouldn’t have time..

geog lessons are the slackest lessons now.. and it is definitely interesting to watch the guys arguing with ms pear.. it’s super funny.. today she came in 10 mins and ended like
10 mins earlier and claire was asking her to wear the clothes she wore yesterday cos it looked nice on her then it was velvet material kind.. haiz.. nowadays many people think she’s
going for some photography session after lessons.. lol. it’s quite funny to think so. yes, and she likes to hit the marker against any hard objects especially the table and ohp, whiteboard etc. i wonder when she’ll hit the window pane then it will probably shatter and she can probably become a pro percussionist liao.. haha.

i didn’t go for physics remedial today.. do i care? i’m not going to waste my time listening to some foreign language that i don’t understand and don’t even bother to understand..
today pe we were held up by mr chew cos he wanted to brief us about some sports enrichment for next year and asked us to rank our choices.. well, the choices are all super weird lar, got aikido, billards, dragon boat blah blah. then i ranked canoe as my first. it’s the best choice out of the worst. second was golf and i placed archery as third. i don’t even know what archery is lar. then we had a choice to write what we want if we had a choice.. about 8 people wrote tennis including me. i almost wrote netball, but erh i didn’t and i wrote hockey as well. =) ok, then there’s new ccas *cross fingers that there will be netball*

mrs phua asked who did the reflections in a black booklet and fastened it with a pin. my face was super red lar.. then li hui was like.. xiuli, it's your's right and she was so super enthu about my reflections.. hurhur and mrs phua was annoyed cos apparently i didn't write my name then she wasn't too pleased going around guessing who's reflection it was.. ok, that was my second time that i got called up.. first time was an lao shi the csp one.. haiz.

brought my charger to school today cos i left my phone in the car last night and it was running low of battery. somehow it crawled out of my pocket.. hopefully get back math test soon, i'm dying to see the marks cos i don't think i will fail YET. haha.

2005-09-28T23:03:00.000+08:00

no geog test papers today.. guess why? ms pear had apparently forgotten to come because she mistook our lesson for 0920 instead of 0845 and we ended up having a free period cos nobody went to look for her cos we thought she was doing the prelim stuffs with the sec 4s. hurhur. then during chem we thought mrs phua would let ms pear have her lesson so when mrs phua came in, we
were groaning.. But mrs phua always have lame jokes like how she wasn’t supposed to clean the whiteboard when her name wasn’t on the duty roster..

i collected the bio papers today cos cindy said the photocopy shop auntie said 3i bio papers never collect.. ms yap said thurs recess.. is it reverse psychology again? argh. tmr there is pe!!! YAY and then uh there is double physics.. GROANS. physics suck. that's a straight fact.

still stuck with art research.. i am at a loss lar.. then francesca replied the postcard saying i studied alot alot alot.. siao. i'm not so studious heh.. discussing about basses chalet. why is li hui so enthu about it? basses outings always super expensive and end very late lar.. it's not exactly a waste of time and money but.. oh well, forget it.

i did one emath past exam paper and i'm feeling super super bad about my marks.. i sort of dropped 15 marks from last year's math grades. this is sad lor.. suddenly 90+ drop to 70+ and it's only o'level standard considering the fact that some of our questions are a'level standard.. hopefully my amath won't be that bad but it's impossible heh.. the atmosphere in my class is bad.. everyone is studying like mad for the exams.. *except me. argh.

i'm a slacker and so i shall slack. boo.

2005-09-27T19:21:00.000+08:00

today was friday's timetable for sec ones to threes.. cos friday everyday everyone has english paper except the dhp people.. so we end up having 2 fridays which is bad, cos we get to see mr helmi for another double math. so it happened that ms pear was supposed to return our geog test papers today but mrs phua took over her lesson. eeks.

claire was complaining about ms pear being disgusting, never keep to her word. and i was laughing cos it was funny. ok. then li hui was telling some ghost story then claire, soke may, mei hui and bi wen suddenly screamed during language arts (luckily ms chong wasn't there) which was a bit.. i didn't scream. like YAY!

during biology.
ms yap (speaks very loudly): XIULI!
xiuli: *looks up in shock* (am i going to be scolded?)
ms yap: i want you to go to the photocopy shop to collect the past exam papers on friday during recess can?
xiuli: erh. ok. *nods head*
ms yap: bring some money.
xiuli: *nods head*

after a while.
ms yap (in a softer tone): xiuli!
xiuli: *looks up again in a puzzled manner*
ms yap: can you come down during recess to collect some worksheets for the class later during recess?
xiuli: erh. ok.

ms yap can give me a heart attack can? she stops talking for a while then suddenly say my name so loud like going to make my blood cells clot up in the artery suddenly.. nvm.

yue zhi and i went to tampines mall to get ying xian a birthday present which is on the 1st of oct. haha. then we went yamaha and yue zhi realised that there were no french horns on display and was quite emotionally disturbed. then she went to look at the method books and scores and to her dismay, found that there was nothing about french horn. she was quite irritated by the fact that there were even perkachng stuffs. ok, so string bass and french horn are quitters' instruments in musical shops i suppose?

so we got ying xian a present. and we decided to get something mint as well cos apparently mint kills sperms and she offered ming shuen a mint mentos. then she ate one after school, and sccording to yue zhi, ming shuen said she was eating his sperms.. eeew.. whatever.

EOYs are coming.. about 200 hours more.. going to die.. seriously.

2005-09-26T19:15:00.000+08:00

erh. i'm bored.
my life's in reverse psychology.

1. i didn't cross the road when there weren't any cars and attempted to cross the road when there was a car and i got honked at.

2. i wanted to enter my room at night and the light was on. i thought i needed to switch it on again. this time i entered my room in darkness.

3. the car hadn't come to a complete stop when i tried to open the door to get out and i had to close it again. then when the car came to a stop, i didn't open the door until i realised i was wasting time.

hurhur. there are many stupid ones even worse but hopefully i won't walk out from a shop without buying anything..

2005-09-18T11:20:00.000+08:00

2005-09-18T11:17:00.000+08:00

so tired.. hsk is like.. 145 mins for 170 stupid chinese mcq questions that are basically common sense lor. then the listening also quite muffled. the banner in the foyer was like- chinese proficiency test' and in chinese it was- han4 yu3 shui3 ping2 kao3 shi4. thought test was always ce4 yan4. but anw, nvm.. dounbt i will get the scholarships.. not a chinese pro..

a very sian day.. i finished macbeth worksheet and touched up on the geog traffic congestion thing.. then did some stuffs for the parent-child day.. my parents not coming cos my dad on course then my brother and mother got something on.. then i got this teacher on my mind to be my surrogate parent. she said she didn't know what to do then never take up the offer, then say i must go and persuade my mum to go.. but i think she's still considering about it.. parent-child day is coming soon.. will look forward to it if she's really gonna be my surrogate parent.

only claire and yue zhi knows who she is cos i only told them.. haha. seriously speaking, i think she is quite a nice teacher which has alot of common sense, then she always like, super logical and rational.. plus she taught my cousin some 9 years back, then my cousin left a lasting impression on her cos she was swinging at the door then i think hit on her or somewhat.. and my cousin thinks she's quite nice too! yeah, she got into some kind of problems in band before rhythm, a bit like me also.. but apparently, she didn't really enjoy her days in band and she told me to consider my decision twice before quitting guides to join band.

ok, wait till i managed to persuade that teacher to be my surrogate parent then i shall mention who she is. but it's pretty obvious eh?

2005-09-17T13:35:00.000+08:00

mid-autumn celebration wasn't too bad lar. last year's one was really.. oldies' night. this year at least still got guessing the teachers' baby faces, principal and vice-principal singing.. haha. i ponned the entire mooncake making with yue zhi. we are all quitters man.. both of us went to the band room to study. ying xian was studying with the thick textbook on the stand and practising. linette was hiding under the timpani reading chemistry. yue zhi and i were somewhat sitting down and reading biology and doing geog respectively. ms pear said my hilda's tabbas (or whatever you call it) was not bad.. so i attempted to improve on it after watching some video which she rewinded too much. and yue zhi had a brand new bio textbook cos she lost hers.

linette and i were trying to hunt for mrs wong after school at 1230. linette said she walked around the entire school looking for her then she's nowhere. so i suggested going to the carpark to look for the car which was there. so i asked if she tried the hostel canteen. then she said no and we decided to go to the general office to ask again. then the admin staff advised us to check the hostel canteen as the teachers were eating lunch there cos they havent seen mrs wong stepping into the office so far and i was like haha i told you so. and linette was like, you're right. then we saw mrs wong outside the auditorium that stretch of corridor. then linette got band room keys.

shortly after, liyun and reachel got admin keys. then linette asked me to open the band room while she went to her class to take something. to my surprise, the band room wasn't locked. i was on the verge of screaming cos it was.. scary? i thought it was always locked then somehow it wasn't locked which means might have something going on.. haha. then luckily liyun and rachel came then i fled the place to find linette.

there was this group of people who went to loan blaziers so liyun and rachel were busy with them. then the sec 1 bass clarinet guy came in and was very interested in linette playing the piano. yue zhi was there then so we were teasing linette about the sec 1 guy.. then liyun and rachel left. they said they would be coming back so they left the piece of paper about the loaning of blaziers to yuezhi. they took the band room keys without realising it i think. perhaps they mistook it for the admin keys. then we were sort of stranded in the band room and yue zhi and i went to find mrs wong but to realise that the meeting just started that ms koh said she will try and help us cos its sos case (which i don't know why) then she went to call mrs wong but cos mrs wong was chairing the meeting then cannot leave..

ok. then yue zhi and i waited for quite a long time. then linette and ying xian came down and said rachel passed them the keys. and the room was locked and everything was brought out. ok. i went up and forgot to check if i had missing stuffs, which i only realised that my pencil case was missing just now.. hello.. there's hsk tmr and i don't have a pencil case. argh. then zhiyin's private and confidential letters were in my pencil case.. luckily my thumbdrive wasn't inside the pencil case cos there's more important stuffs inside..

ok lar, this year's mid autumn festival.. there's snow peanuts, mooncakes and pomelo (which i decided not to eat cos it seems unhygenic- classmates making mooncakes and pomelo being passed around) haiz.. flopped biology test.. i didn't expect it!!! don't know what i have been doing.. studying while sleeping? looks like it.. buti got the last question full marks. lol. those people sitting around me only got 1 mark..

wish me luck for tmr's hsk..
