While waiting for a slow(thanks to my soviet era hard disk) file transfer to G** to complete, i shall blog some cock again.

Actually i quite agree with G (another G) that as a person grows older, CNY seems less and less exciting.

I remember when i was younger i will be looking forward to CNY alot, especially the countdown show on channel 8, and eating butter cake for breakfast(that's what my mother buys every year for CNY). Then there's also all the CNY goodies, porridge with bwa gua, tv shows, time to play comp, visit other relatives' house, relatives coming to my house, and of because, all the hongbaos =D

I enjoyed the fact that it is CNY than anything else. I'm look forward to CNY just because of the fact that it is CNY. Lol.

But then, as one grows older, CNY doesnt feel as exciting as before. It now feels like just another weekend or another holiday where we can take a break. Maybe due to the fact that Singapore is too fast paced for us to really enjoy the festivals ba.

Maybe CNY is just to make little kids happy.

Of course CNY is also a time to catch up with all the relatives and friends whom you probably won't see at any other time. The same questions appear every year: "Where are you studying now? Which level? How are you coping? .......... Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? When are you getting married? How are your kids doing?"

When your guests leave you sometimes will say: "Remember to drop by when you have the time!"

And the next time they drop by, its CNY again.

For introverts like me, CNY is the time to refresh your aged distant relative's memory that you exist in this world as her brother's wife's sister's son (and vice versa)

Coming back nearer to talk about our own immediate families, CNY eve is the time for the prestigous reunion dinner. However i think reunion dinners are only for families that are so busy that they can't eat at the same dinner table as the same time. Generally, reunion dinners are useless if

1) the entire family are already sitting together every evening to eat (like some of my lucky friends)
2) there is no family to speak of (like me)

For the curious, I have not eaten reunion dinner for the past 3-4 years. My 'family' did sit together for dinner on the 15th jan 2006 at a kopitiam opposite my house, the first time in the 3-4 years. That's thanks to an aunt who came visiting from Malaysia. This is a secret I hardly told anyone about.

Nah i'm not encouraging people to not celebrate CNY. In fact i'm saying these so that people who read this will make an effort to celebrate CNY properly.

Please DO NOT make me famous by talking about me in the papers all because i made some O_O comments. I just wanted to kill time.

I think to be able to click with my relatives, i must first be able to speak hokkien like i talk cock with you all.

Oops. Sorry for the empty promise made yesterday. I really wanted to blog....but my headache was still there =(

Anyway yesterday i visited 3 houses with the ache...and i had to pretend i'm alright. Haha.

First stop was my aunt's house a pebble's throw from my house. Because she is my closest(in terms of location and relationship) relative it becomes a must to visit her every year.

After that, my cousin drove(sat in a skoda for the first time! abit noisy, but i like the vroom!) my aunt, me and my bro down to a distant relative's house (my mother's sister's husband's sister, aka cousin's gu gu). Were plenty of people there, including my another cousin's family. Just physically present there got me quite a good 'harvest'.=X

Lastly it was my uncle's house before returning home.

First day not bad, total hit 3 digits liaox. =p Very rare de leh...

Today another cousin is supposed to drive me and my bro to another aunt's house in sengkang...though i not sure what time.

But seriously my hope now is not to have more money, but for my headache to go away asap......it somehow is killing my appetite.

An interesting conversation between my mother and cousin got me understanding why my father never talks about his family in Malaysia anymore.

Some birds are making a nest somewhere above my brother's room, maybe my neighbour's ledge or something. For the past 3 days they fly up from somewhere below, then land on my air-con before going up. My mother says its too noisy, but personally i quite like it. They insert some life into the otherwise boring concrete. Haha.

One sign you can tell that Chinese New Year is here is that you see cars you have never seen before parked at the carpark. I actually saw a Evo 9 yesterday at my flat!

Backtracking a little i spent the Eve spring cleaning the house...hanged up new curtains, wiped the tv cabinet, cleared up the mess in the living room tables and of course most importantly, my own table. (which sadly leaves me with no time to create a CNY version of 'noob')

My own table is still abit messy, because my files are overloaded and i need new ones, which i have to wait till the bookshop opens. Otherwise, my house is rather neat and so, welcome to my house! =)

Sorry to be slightly late....my headaches keep coming back these days and i couldn't blog last night.

So,

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

To everyone who comes across this blog!

I got yet another email from my CT, and as usual it came with a powerful message. Shall share it with everyone here, and at the same time, that's my greetings to everyone too =p

money can always be earned back, but time squandered will be part of your life which is lost forever that no amount of money can ever earn back.

have a meaningful n angpowful holiday.

I shall blog again later in the day. Hopefully can get some photos up. CHeers!

Today was cny celebrations!

Early in the morning went to school relaxed, then was suddenly thrown with alot of work, then in the end all the stuff we rushed became useless as we could not use them. In conclusion, busy for nothing.

Finally got out of the backstage, squeezed into the back of the hall and sat there rotting till the end.

This year CO came up with a percussion performance which i thought was quite refreshing, though the percussion competition at the end was, erm, boring. In the end its still the CO people who performed well.

After that went back to ahs. Just in time their celebrations were over and the teachers were having a little party at the hostel canteen. Alumnis all over the world flooded the semi circle infront to greet the teachers, though as i said in my previous post, the friends are the main draw, not the tchers. Haha.

They have air-conditioned the new school hall...a task which was impossible a few years back. I didnt see the air-con myself though, heard it from friends. I wonder did they really build a new sub-station just for the air cons.

Met a teacher who told us that the AHS alumni dinner promises to be worth more than the $10 we are paying.

After that went off to tampines for lunch and movie with friends.

Memoirs of the geisha....quite a good movie, because it was about a Japanese tradition which I have never heard of before. I interpret this movie as one that tries to tell how the geisha occupation was of high standards in the past, before being downgraded to the same level as postitutes.

There were some hints of Japan being glorified in World War 2 though.

Finally, the backdrops that was never meant to be seen:

Yes it looks strikingly similar to the Cultural Fiesta backdrop i did last year, because it is the same design. I'm lazy to come up with something new.

I shall end this post with an email from my CT to my class. After some modifications, it shall be my new year greetings to everyone who reads this blog:

May I take the opportunity to wish one & all a joyous and meaningful lunar new year

It shall be a great year for every one of you:

-- you will get distinctions in all your subjects at A-level (and also do well in your common tests & internal assessments)

-- you will participate actively and excel in your ccas, and engage in meaningful acitivities in serving the community of which you are a part of, and benefit greatly from the learning experiences

-- you will lead a healthy and balanced lifestyle, both physically and mentally

-- you will continue to bond well as a class, and to enjoy your remaining time in your JCs together (and I hope also thereafter), through good and at times not-so-good times, but you will support and encourage one another on nonetheless

-- you and your family will be blessed with good health and fortune

-- may all your unfulfilled dreams come true, though you may have to work hard for them

Chinese New Year is coming.

Usually its a busy time of the year...have to spring clean the house, prepare the altars, buy new stuff, throw old stuff etc etc etc

And msning.

Chinese New Year is also the time where one goes back to their sec sch or pri sch to greet their teachers.

Of course, the main objective of going back is not the teachers, but the friends. Haha.

So, just one day before, everyone will be asking everyone whether they are "going back" tml.

Now on my Start bar i have 6 msn windows and one IE window, which is this blogger.

I haven't clear up my table yet.....and i don't know where to find the energy to do so.

From AHS website:

The school will celebrate Chinese New Year on 27 January 06 (Friday) morning and it will close at 12.00 noon after the celebration.

Stupid G** killed all the surprise.

But anyway,

I CAN KEEP MY FOUR SUBJECTS!!!!!!!

Yay.

Actually its kind of conditional...cos have to see my march common test results..

My CT doesn't seem happy though...i have to hand in a letter to him tml stating I will drop a subject, without bargaining, if i didn't pass all my 4 subjects in the march common test.

But i couldn't celebrate cos i have caught a flu =( throughout the day i was a walking zombie, only getting better when i went for robotics later.

Hope i won't fall sick..i want to eat all the chinese new year goodies!

Year 2006 shall be Qing Wei's year. Muahaha.

*If i were you if i were you...if u like to be me so much u go teach la...ask me teach then stand there do nothing...*

Everyday, some people come into this world, some people leave this world.

Many of the great and famous are honoured and remembered for their contributions they have done to the world. Their dates of birth are etched into the hearts of the common folks, and they count their blessings that these great men had lived and brought good things for the benefit of mankind.

Today, the 22th, and tomorrow, the 23th, are the birthdays of two ordinary men.

At this point of time.

They will grow up to be two great men too. They, too, will bring great inventions and ideas to mankind. They shall be known by everyone living on this planet. Their birthdays will be celebrated by all.

They shall never have to celebrate their birthdays alone...anymore....

And most importantly, they are my friends. Muahaha.

I HAVE TWO FUTURE GREAT MEN AS MY FRIENDS!

Happy birthday to them. May all their most sincere wishes come true.

I'm down....but i'm definitely not out.

I shall be back...one day.

"Good morng mr sum u hv been scheduled to c *, hod econs on mon 23 jan 1210pm to decide ur dropg subject. Pls think thru carefully ovr wkend thks."

GG.

Suddenly I'm faced with the biggest dilemma ever since my birth.

"In life everything has an opportunity cost, in economics terms. What you forgo in one aspect will probably be made up for in terms of your gains in other experiences. It could be getting good in some past-time hobby while forgoing your studies or fitness, if you deem it important enough and better worthwhile your time. It all depends on the choices you make, and the priorities you have in life. You live with the consequences of your actions."

I'm thinking..I'm thinking...

The sms i dreaded most finally came today.

"Pls c me asap"

I have the following options:

1) Drop Maths.
2) Drop Physics.
3) Drop Chemistry.
4) Drop Computing.
5) Drop NOI.

I have the slightest chance to keep all my 4 subjects..that is i drop my NOI, my computing olympiad.

With these kind of options, what else can I choose?

Anyway still have to see...while my CT will try to convince the HODs, if it doesn't get through I still have to drop one subject.

Which will most probably be Chemistry.

Or even Computing.

Feels kind of sad...because I have survived for one year, learnt so much stuff, spent so many mondays, thursdays and saturdays in school, solved so many problems, beared with so much scoldings, overcame so many disappointments, used so much of my father's taxi's diesel etc etc etc etc etc, and I just got the school laptop lying on my desk with gVim and DJGPP installed.

Nah..i haven't learnt everything yet.

And soon, all these may be gone. Forever.

[yes yes yes i know, its the process that's more important, i have learnt alot throughout the year, I have done something many people in vj don't know how to do or are not interested in doing, I have gained experience and blah blah blah yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea __ ]

Why can't I be a smart guy who can understand everything without studying then ace every single shit i get?

Sianx...for the past week it rained everyday...then suay suay today my class PE then the sun come out...

OH ya...its Friday the 13th mah......

Nah my day isn't as bad as it seems.

I still haven't got back my physics R....because my physics teacher gave my friends their papers back during their econs...so i was isolated from them thus until now, I still dunno my marks.

My friends keep telling me to go and find him..but i'm rather reluctant...for I know i didnt do well and i simply didnt want to face up to the truth =X

Perhaps a consolation is that when i was walking out of school for home today, i ran into my CT, who was about to go out for his daily evening run. He saw me, greeted me and my friend "Good morning!" but didnt say anything else(eg. Are you dropping computing?).

Maybe I passed?

But then again, it may just be because he also dunno my marks yet.

Or maybe he knows, but he ran out of subject dropping forms.

Or simply he knows, but he was more interested in his running than me at that point of time.

Or maybe he knows, but the school is allowing me to keep 4 subjects?

Or maybe i was conned and actually i failed chem, and now that i failed physics too, so the sch is still discussing which 06Sxy or 06Akj class to send me to.

Or they are contacting the polys to find a place for me (That's thoughtful of them.)

Secretly i'm hoping that everyone is dragging this issue..then slowly everyone forgets everything and i can keep my 4 subjects. Hehheh.

Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.Be optimistic.

(I've got a weekend to pass...)

I got one more very interesting issue to talk about..but this entry's getting too long and I am getting damn tired..so i shall continue tomorrow.

I PASSED MY CHEM R!!! YAY!!!

Wah more big fat clouds flying everywhere in Singapore.

After 10 days with my new handphone I just realised today it has a counter stating how many messages I have sent out.

No I'm not stupid..I know most phones have this function and I did try to find it the last time but I couldnt, until today.

You can't really blame me if the phone programmers decide to put the "Messages counter" in "Time & Cost" under the "Calls" tab in "Settings".

Anyway I've got a shock when i realised I have sent out 117 messages! In 10 days!

(Why was I chosen to sms the juniors informing them of the first robotics session......T.T)

Haha maybe that is the norm..since i never keep track in the past.

I only have 300 free smses and I still got 20 days to go! How am I going to spam people with "Happy New Year!" ?!??!

Sianx school tml.

Today one not-so-fat-but-still-quite-fat piece of cloud flew over Singapore.

Rained the whole afternoon..

A supposedly, relatively busy day today turned out to be a free day.

By right I have physics and chemistry tutorials today, and i have not finished my physics and chem tutorials so was thinking of doing them during the free time today and worrying about how the teachers will skin me when i show them my incomplete work.

Then during assembly, the principal announced that she heard of year2s who want to join the year1s at East Coast Beach for Sea Regatta, so instead of the year2s having to sneak there, she decided to let us off at 10.30am so we could all go there!

Suddenly i have no more chem and physics!

So after going through a torturing 2 periods of computing, i was free.

Went to McDonalds to eat with a couple of friends, then stayed at the beach looking at the year1s play, kicking a ball around with friends, and keeping myself dry while waiting for mass dance to come.

It never came...cos the big fat cloud came earlier.

At first i envied my friend who was down for icomp filming today, because he could sit on the safety boat out at sea and film.
Until he (and the camera) was caught in the rain. And now the camera.....

Yay tomorrow holiday.

Today one big fat piece of cloud flew over Singapore.

Its still raining now...

Then there was the Exercise Northstar V..an exercise to simulate terrorist attacks on our public transport system to test the reactions of 22 government agencies.

Actually i question the usefulness of this exercise.
They seem to be afraid of troubling the commuters and thus try their best to minimise the inconvenience.

For the preparations they tested out the flashbang to make sure the sound is not too loud as to affect the commuters' eardrums.

They told the whole world the exercise would be happening within this week, then gave the game away with the intensive news reports throughout the week (If the ka-boom is going to happen next week they will not do the news reporting this week).
They also prepared "goodwill ambassadors" on the trains to guide the commuters, prepared shuttle buses to ferry the commuters to their destinations etc etc.

Even worse, hospital staff already started preparing themselves at 5.30am, way before the ka-boom...

So what's there to test if everyone knew something is going to happen? And at a time when 90% of the population is still playing chess with Zhou Gong?

Commuters are cursing why it happened on the trains they were in, and were more worried about getting to the shuttle buses and out of the place rather than learning something useful out of this exercise.

I'm also amused by two civilians nailing down a "terrorist" who is about to set off the bomb he's carrying. Isn't that too dangerous? Are they sure we can do that?

You see ah, if really ka-boom and there are no goodwill ambassadors on board the train and the police all over the stations, will we really know what to do?

Aiya to say the truth, when ka-boom happens, it will be so loud that those near the bomb will be temporarily (if not permanently) deaf. We will all be in a state of panic; it is inevitable.

Maybe this time round the exercise is more for the government agencies to test their operating procedures and not so much of civilian reaction. I expect more to come though. I want to be part of the action too. Haha.

Hello everyone.

Backtracking to yesterday, I had my Chem R paper in the morning. They have upgraded the air-conditioner in LT1, and now its worse than LT5. It was the first time i actually shivered in a LT. Haha.

Because of the bloody R paper i could not meet my junior class. But from the photo my CT rep took i saw at least 4 AHS people in my junior class! Yay...better than my class where i'm the only Anglican haha.

After that, set off for AHS. It was their CCA exhibition for the sec1s so went back to take a look.

A huge surprise for me..because I realised that the computer club teacher-in-charge has changed. Not just to any other teacher, but a long-time-no-see physics teacher who taught me for a while two years ago before going to Australia for studies. This friendly guy who always uses his Apple laptop for physics lessons is finally back...anyway i'm quite happy he's taking over the computer club.

The NPCC girls' unit clearly showed everyone its still a new CCA, responding to wrong commands and their less-than-perfect marching. The other uniformed groups had roughly the same performances as previously years.

Wah I didnt know the block of flats and carparks behind the AHS 长城 had been torn down, in fact since a long time ago. Now its a piece of empty land!

After that went off to Suntec to meet my friends for dinner, before going for the event for the night - mass dance at the Fountain of Wealth. It was part of orientation for the year1s, but i just went and joined in. Had to help film too.

The mass dance was fun..everyone was high..but perhaps abit too high that there was chaos. When they switched off the fountain so that people can go into the fountain to touch the water, Victorians actually ran into there in swarms and splashed water at each other. We had video for evidence haha. In fact we are saying we will receive a complaint from Suntec on Monday. Haha.

I think I am going to get a 'shorter' timetable soon. I have never had miracles in exams. Blog about this another day.

Quite a happening day today...have quite alot of stuff to say, but i am so damn freaking tired now.

I went back to AHS today..it was their CCA exhibition and i had no lessons after my Chem R, so went back lor.

Anyway I met my Chinese teacher and have asked her about the AHS history book; she said she herself have not received one.

I also asked the bookshop auntie; she said the bookshop is not (and will not be) selling it, so she don't know.

I will blog the rest tomorrow. Can't continue anymore.

Went to the Anglican High website and was super surprised when I saw the new homepage.

The first thing that caught my eye is the 4 words REN JING QI CAI or Where Talents Soar.

Anyone who have never studied in AHS before will immediately assume that Where Talents Soar is our school motto. In fact I myself thought they hsve changed the school motto to this and only found out in the school motto page that it remained the same.

"Where Talents Soar" is the school vision. -.-''

Second thing was the computer club page. My junior won something at the National Software Competition and got his trophy at a Micromouse competition prize giving ceremony. Wow.

AHS has a second vice-principal now!

The new principal actually has a welcome-back-message, and the school is going to re-develop our indoor stadium.

In conclusion, the new website looks nice. That's all.

Read the Chinese newspapers yesterday? There's an article about AHS. Now the sec1s that come in to AHS must learn about the school history as part of their history lessons (I think). They even produced a book on it. I wonder if I can get my hands on one.

When i said "she had nth to do" in my tagboard, i really meant that my friend (in fact, the whole class) have nothing to do.

This week there are no lectures, only tutorials, with practicals being converted to tutorials. Plus the fact that my new maths tutor is busy with VIP orientation, we have no maths tutorials till next wednesday.

The first period today was CT session, which means no chem prac. After my Physics R paper, i only spent 10 mins in the physics lab and we were dismissed.

Then we had nothing to do all the way until 2.30pm for a chem tutorial!

(The prank came about because laptops were set up in the canteen for the year1s to do their subject combi registration.)

I spent most of the time before chem tutorial filming the year 1's orientation. Sad to say, but its so similar to our batch's orientation.

It will be a similar day tomorrow. Besides the CT session during the first period, I will be free for the rest of the day. I will be involved in the CCA walkabout, so haha it goes right till the end of my lessons.

Thursday I will be down for filming the whole day (actually I am down for duty only on Thurs. Today I helped out a friend.)

Friday haha basically i will only be here for my Chem R paper. Because my class shifted the physics tutorial to Thursday, and there is no Maths. Haha.

I know I can't do so many things..i need some time to study my Chem......

Anyway I have a new handphone le! Actually got it yesterday le...some friends already knew about it. It was during the M1's three day New Year sale that i bought a cheap phone. Not bad so far.

Can finally replace my dying phone, in which a fifth button is starting to be unresponsive le. Haha.

Most exciting is that my new phone got a camera..so means can take pictures! Sad my computer don't have infrared or bluetooth cannot upload my photos to my computer. Hopefully the laptop i am getting from the school has infrared. Haha.

I'm blogging here in the morning because you cannot expect me to hit the books after waking up just an hour ago. Haha.

So its the new year! Not a good year for me, because will be taking my A levels this year. Of course before A levels can come i have to pass the so many other tests and obstacles, with the 2 R papers coming up real soon.

I realised I got worried over my CT's comments for nothing, because I am already promoted. So if I fail my R papers, chances are I only drop one subject.

Err..right?

To welcome the new year I went to cut my hair, firstly to avoid trouble with the school when the new year just started, and secondly, cut away all the bad things I had in 2005, so i start the new year with a fresh me!

Last night as usual, everyone disappeared from the net, leaving me alone and cold.... So welcomed my new year together with yes933, the TV which telecast the Mount Faber celebrations live for 20 minutes, and my organic chem notes.

And of course, I carried out the most important tradition of all: change the calender!
Removed my Tampines Town Council 2005 calender from my desk, and replaced it with the Tampines Town Council 2006 calender. Haha.

Reflecting on 2005, it has been a hectic year for me..the culture difference between AHS and VJC has greatly impacted me. I didnt write a resolution for last year...but some of the things I have done would be.....

1) Broadband!!!!! (Finally got it after 2186986320462034671 years..can surf net 24/7 now without worrying about bills)
2) O Level results! (my best results throughout my 4 years in AHS haha)
3) Getting into VJC (got into a really good and fun JC, but at the expense of my friends...is this a good thing?)
4) Competitive programming (it started as another co-curricular activity, but since I cant get S papers now, this has become ever important to me)
5) 4th in micromouse! (I was much happier this time...because it was my own effort, though i was damn sad of the drop from 2nd to 4th T.T )
6) My midyr and promos results (nothing to say...i'm now "enjoying the fruit of my labour")
7) Linux!

As my CT said in his email to us last night: let's not brood over what could have been done and look forward to what we would be doing. 2006 promises to be hectic but nonetheless exciting.

So..my new year resolution! Well my resolution is simple, i don't wish for much things =p :

1) Get 4 As! (This actually also means keeping my 4 subjects =X)
2) NOI gold! (Abit far-fetched..but..)
3) Complete my senior's micromouse diagonal movement C program! (This will end in May haha)
4) Keep myself fit! (So I won't have to suffer in NS T.T)
5) Be more optimistic! (As i have sweared in my holistic report)
6) A new computer! (Wtf i have been wanting one since 2186986320462034671 years ago!)
7) To go out with my gay friends more often! (missed so many outings with them......)
8) To celebrate Chirstmas 2006 and New Year 2007 countdown somewhere outside! (I don't want to be left out anymore!)
9) World a better place! (Copied from G**'s blog haha)
10) Contribute something to society! (Not sure how yet..maybe CIP ba)

New Year Day is just another day. Its all the hope, wishes, anticipation and resolutions that we place into the next 365 days that makes New Year Day a different one. It serves as a form of moltivation to get us going; to start fresh and anew; to be optimistic.

As i end my entry here, I hope that everyone who comes across this blog will have a fruitful and smooth year ahead, enjoy yourselves and look forward to a better tomorrow.
Once again, happy 2006.

Initally i wanted to blog at around midnight, when yr2006 comes, and i also said perhaps i wanted to type out a new year resolution...

..until i am totally freaked out by a statement from an email which my CT sent to the whole class:

'those who do not manage to clear the re-assessment, let me wish you in advance all the best in your future endeavours. it is nice getting to know you as a student of 05S44. i hope you will still keep in contact with the class.'

No i'm not angry...he didnt say anything wrong..i'm just worried.
Don't get the wrong idea about my CT. He's a good CT..its just that i did not publish the full email here.

So my new year resolution will come some time later...and i end this post with a

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Had a rude shock when i woke up this morning and came online.



WTF?! Now on wednesdays i have consecutive 4 period-2 lectures in the bloody cold and echo-y and no handphone reception and underground LT 5!

I have triple GP lessons on thursday! NOoOOoOOOOoooooo.......................

And why am i going to school on friday?!?

Today is the first anniversary of the Asian Tsunami. Though one year has passed, images of how the violent tidal waves took the tens of thousands of innocent lives are still fresh in my mind, and the news reports of the memorials in the various countries just refreshed all of them.

It is a very sad thing to happen...humans seem so vulnerable and helpless when faced with natural giants. We should really count our blessings that a big piece of land protected us from the disaster and the people living there sacrificed their lives instead of us. Otherwise I think I may not be studying in the college I am in today.

It is even worse to realise that we need natural disasters to remind us people, across different countries and boundaries, of the need to unite and extend our help towards one another whenever possible. Somehow we seem to take peace for granted, and get ourselves obsessed with power and money.

Shall end this with a quote my friend wrote in her blog last year (I forgot who she is; quoted her in my blog last year): Mother nature has shown us humans tt we are not the ultimate rulers of this planet. The lady's still in charge.

Hello world.

Well spent a relatively lonely christmas. Chirstmas eve night was spent watching tv after all my friends were out partying and i had no one to chat with online. Luckily 3 DJs from yes933 kept me company from late night till 2am with their cheers and laughters.

Last night i decided that i cannot stand being kept out of the festival anymore, so went for a walk to Orchard with a friend.

Well...i should say it was the right event, but with the wrong person =P
Ok la..better than no one haha.

In all and all i received 3 cards...2 by snail mail and 1 by email, and a couple of wishes from the tagboard, email and handphone. No "many many presents from relatives" , no "human guests arriving" , and no "barren xmas tree" . Haha.

Anyway thanks to all!

So fast year2005 ending liaox and year2006 coming liaox. Maybe i should also write a resolution of some sorts to kick off the new year.

Actually i'm quite excited about year2006, or rather, the end of it. No i'm not crazy; i'm not looking forward to NS. Swearing in my 2005 holistic report that I will be more optimistic, i see the end of year2006 instead as the end of my 14 years of education.

I think after my A levels I will write a thesis of my schooling years, down from kindergarten to junior college, noting down memorable events, complete with photos and secrets heh heh.

Like me getting slapped by a teacher.
Or angering a teacher so much that i almost got thrown out of the class, together with my bags.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

圣诞结

我住的城巿从不下雪
记忆却堆满冷的感觉
思念的旺季 霓虹扫过喧哗的街
把快乐赶得好远

*落单的恋人最怕过节
只能独自庆祝尽量喝醉
我爱过的人　没有一个留在身边
寂寞它陪我过夜

#Merry Merry Christmas
Lonely Lonely Christmas
想祝福不知该给谁
爱被我们打了死结

Lonely Lonely Christmas
Merry Merry Christmas
写了卡片能寄给谁
心碎的像街上的纸屑

Repeat * #

电话不接　不要被人　发现我整夜都关在房间
狂欢的笑声　听来像哀悼的音乐
眼眶的泪　温热冻结　望着电视里的无聊节目
瘫在沙发上　变成没知觉的植物

Repeat　# #

谁来陪我过这圣诞节

Hello world.

Read today's Lian He Zao Bao?

There was this report about this pair of brothers in China that both came down with life threatening diseases and despite efforts by their parents to raise money, they only had enough money to save one of them.
In the end they had to resort to picking lots to decide who gets to be treated.

The younger brother cheated by writing "zhi liao" on both pieces of paper and asking his elder brother to pick first.

Haix damn sad lor.

Okok..so if i really stop thinking so much......

"Qing Wei, you have passed both your R papers and you can continue your 4 subjects. But make sure you don't fail anymore!"

Wah i really hope this will happen.

Anyway the Campus Superstar top 20 are out.

The total ITE population in Singapore thrashes any school..so when sms voting comes and if every single ITE students votes for the 2 ITE participants, they pwn everyone else liaox. Haha.

A little story to end this post...

從前有兩隻小豬，整天過著無憂無慮的生活，他們互相相愛著。每天主人送來吃的時候，公豬總是先讓母豬吃,等她吃飽了再上去吃母豬吃剩下的東西，每天晚上公豬總是給母豬放哨，他生怕主人乘他們熟睡時把母豬拉出去宰了。

日子一天天的過去，母豬日漸長胖，而公豬則一天天瘦下去。有一天，公豬突然聽見主人在跟屠夫商量，要把長勢見長的母豬殺了給賣掉，公豬傷心至極。於是從那天開始公豬性情大變，每當主人送吃來時公豬總搶上去把東西吃的一乾二淨，每天吃後便躺下大睡，並且告訴母豬現在換做她來放哨，如果他發現她沒放哨的話就再也不理她。

漸漸的日子一天天過去，母豬覺得公豬越來越不在乎她，母豬失望了，而公豬還是若無其事的過著安樂日子．很快一個月過去了，主人帶著屠夫來到豬圈，他發現一個月前肥肥壯壯的母豬瘦的沒剩下多少肉，而公豬則長的油光發亮．這時的公豬拼命的奔跑，想引起主人的注意，表明他是頭健康的豬。

終於，屠夫把公豬拖出豬圈的那一刻，公豬朝著母豬笑著說：『以後別吃這麼多！』母豬傷心欲絕，拼命的沖出去，但圈門被主人關上了，擱著柵欄，母豬看著閃著淚光的公豬。那晚，母豬望著主人一家開心的吃著豬肉，母豬傷心的躺倒在以前公豬每天睡的地方，突然她發現牆上有行字：

『如果愛無法用言語來表達，我願意用生命來證明』！

母豬看到這行字肝腸寸斷，人類聽到這個淒美的愛情故事也無不為之動容，...



女孩們為了紀念這段愛情，同時也表示沒忘記公豬臨前的遺囑『以後別吃這麼多』，開始流行減肥……
(from cruzteng's blog)

Haha check this out. Can laugh until want to die.

Then this.

And then this.

Hello World.

Haix i should listen to my friends and stop thinking too much.

My good luck ended the day i blogged...waking up the next day(yesterday) with a fever and flu..haix.

My fever is gone..but my throat is still a little sore.

So..if I stop "thinking too much" and face reality, that will mean....

"Let's all get Sum Qing Wei up on stage! Lets all look and laugh at this stupid boy who cannot even pass his R papers!!! LOSER!! Drop those subjects la!! Even better, drop out of school la! You are just wasting school resources!! Go to hell! BOOO!!"

Wah the audit report for NKF came out liaox. Never come out still never mind, come out liaox really can make people flare. The charity shows say NKF like until very charitable, need alot of money to help the patients, and we trusted them. In the end? The guy is just a big conman!

Last time i was wondering why the N-Kidney-F set up funds for cancer patients and child patients. So they were to help him get more money huh.

He basically said everything that i want to say. Haha.
I wonder will he come up with a new entry regarding this audit result. I'm looking forward though.

Notice after the NKF thingy, we never saw Cao Qi Tai around liaox?
I still think he's a good host compared to the other hosts; without him live shows seem abit duller.

Anyway anyone watched Sunday's charity show for the heart patients?
I find the segment where Wei Lian and Sky Wu sang together was an excellent one.

The Grasshoppers' performance were good too...haha nowadays where got people dance like them liao?

So the finale was stepping on fluoroscent light tubes.

Haha since the start of charity shows they have stepped on alot of things liaox hor?
From tightropes to eggs to light bulbs to broken glass to knife blades(the Sharon Au picture in the Straits TImes reminded me) to now light tubes.

Wonder what else are they going to step on next time haha.

It seems like Heaven's on my side recently.

Last monday i had a very lonely lunch because my friend wanted to go home. Bought lunch home and ate facing the kitchen wall.

Then i guess Heaven pitied me..so on Thursday i had lunch at parkway hawker centre with 9 other Icomp friends. Our lunches were even sponsored by the comp lab techs!

Then yesterday I was complaining that the weather was too hot, and it rained today!
Even throughout the rest of the day it was cloudy and not too sunny.

Hmm..i wonder whether my good luck can continue all the way till start of next yr..

"A round of applause for Sum Qing Wei of 05S44, who is the top in level for Physics and Chemistry....re-examinations papers!"

Since young i have always liked my house.

My house is one of the few with :

1) Unblocked view of the surroundings from the living room window
2) Whole range of shops opposite my house..from Big Bookshop to McDonalds
3) A big park behind
4) One bus trip (or actually, if the weather is good, it becomes walking distance) from the Central.

The only thing bad is that the living room faces the South-West. So whenever there is a cloudless day like today, sunlight will shine directly into my house from afternoon to evening, melting all the furniture and making it impossible for a warm-blooded animal to stay in the living room for more than half-an-hour.

A thermometer in my living room recorded a room temperature of 31 degrees Celsius today. -.-''''' (i was really sweating)

And the room that holds this computer also faces the sun...so I can't use the comp in the afternoon..haix.

My handphone's red button (the one that ends a call and switches off my phone) is becoming half-spoilt..have to press damn hard for it to respond. It is the 4th button to be declared half-spoilt by me.........

Haix.

One badminton girl from Korea who came to Singapore to compete died after being knocked down by a car.

Sad sia...so young and gone liaox...worse is she left with her dreams still unfulfilled, things still undone..she even didnt have time to say her last words.

If anyone noticed, whenever some school-going, young child dies, someone with authority, usually the principal, will step out and say good things about him/her, like getting consistently good results, well-liked by friends, good in sports, helpful etc etc etc, for eg for this girl, a very good player who aspires to go to Olympics.

I was wondering how a principal will know if a particular student "is helpful, and well-liked by friends".

That lead me to thinking what if I were to die one day. Wonder how the principal will say of me...

"Qing Wei has been trying to work hard during the holidays preparing for his re-examination papers."

Anyone read the latest copy of Time magazine?

There is this "best photos of Year 2005", and i liked the photos a lot. Those photos, though simple, tell alot about the events that have happened in this year.

"What no one has entirely explained is how these weightless images-the things we see-can affect us so deeply. All we know for sure is that they defy the laws of physics. No matter how big you are, they can move you."

" "Narrative can make us understand,"she wrote."Photographs do something else: they haunt us." "

"The paper they are printed on will deteriorate someday, but we're betting the images won't. Because it's a funny thing about photographs and the way they get inscribed in our memory. It's with invisible ink, but it's indelible all the same."

Cool right?

Anyway I thought the christmas tree looks dull and lifeless. Wanted to add more stuff like snowmen or presents or even Santa himself, but aiya too much to draw, too little time.

Or maybe, its destined to be a loner. Just like its owner.

I promise I will do a better one for Chinese New Year. Haha.

I commited a sin.

I should be studying...but instead yesterday I went to rent a movie to watch. Haha.

Anyway watched Hero...was about a man called Nameless who first spent 40 mins telling Qin Shi Huang how he killed 3 of Qin's most wanted assassins. Then he got a reward to sit within 10 paces of Qin Shi Huang to drink wine with him.

Then Qin Shi Huang went on to break Nameless' story, said his story was a total lie, but rather he himself was the assassin, and spent another 20 mins predicting what the actual story was, and also predicted that he needed to be within 10 paces of the king so he can kill him fast.

That was the first disc.

The second disc of 30 mins was about Nameless giving a third story, telling the correct version of the story, and why he was reluctant to kill Qin.

This movie actually gave a different opinion towards Qin's actions...was along the lines of if he was killed, then he won't unify China and saying that in the end, it was his enemy who truly understood him.

I like the screenplay though...the fighting scenes were clean and neat, and the music accompanying the fighting scenes was good.

Anyway to watch a movie without your mother knowing the timing must be correct. She went out yesterday afternoon and today morning. Perfect.

Yesterday:
..Renting the vcd on my way home from school and stuffing it in my bag...ok!
..Going to sleep while my mother was still at home..ok!
..Waking up to watch while my mother is out..ok!
..Lying to my mother I just woke up when she returned home..ok!
..Hiding the vcd in my bag throughout the entire night..ok!

Today (have to return vcd ma):
..Tell my brother to lie to my mother that i went bookshop if she comes home earlier than me..ok!
..Walked through an entire pasar malam to the shop without getting seen by her (this one abit scary though, but..)..ok!
..Walked through an entire pasar malam to home without getting seen by her(this one abit scary oso, but..)..ok!

Hmm..did i sound like bad boy here? Hey i am a good boy ok!

Hey I didnt know the Cable Car Station has its name changed to Jewel Box, until i watched kp club just now. The place is nicely done..not bad.

LINUX PROPAGANDA PART 2

Anyway i spent some time today updating my fedora. It was done after downloading and installing 247 updates in an hour. Haha.

The good thing is that there is an update alert icon in the system tray that turns red with an exclamation mark when updates are available.

While Windows XP just tell you that they are going to install updates (you can't say no!), this upate alert tells you exactly what updates are available for which programs (they even handle updates of OpenOffice and Gaim messenger!) and you can decide which to update and which not to.

And if you update the Kernel (the core of the system), they actually leave the old version intact so if the new kernel cocks up, can still go back to the old one. So thoughtful...

And now my Gaim messenger is much more stable liaox, no error messages liaox haha.

Haix mother scold liaox, gtg le.

Hello world.

So I went for the grid course 2 days ago...people who watched news would have heard about it, and I was lucky enough not to be in the news. Haha.

Overall, the course was okay...though i had expected the grid to be much more flexible. It seems like its usefulness can only be tapped by reseachers doing some out-of-the-world calculations for now.

However, the best part of the course was not the course itself, not the food =p, but the chance to be with my good friends.

It has been a real long time since we were in the same room listening to someonre talk...ever since I was isolated from them a year ago. Yes we had frequent msn chats, but it can't be compared to talking cock with them in the face.

I thought i was abit too obvious though...sort of distanced away from my vj friends and sticking with my 3 friends throughout the course..haha sorry about that.

I envy them alot...because they are in the same class and thus, can talk cock to each other everyday. I won't mind someone talking cock to me everyday...haha..time passes fast when one laughs alot..but haix.

I was feeling bo liao just now..so went digging through Friendster for my seniors. Found some of them, Haha see most of them still in good shape...studying medicine la, in relationship la, in handsome army uniforms la, in New York la...

http://www.zazzle.com/products/product/product.asp?product%5Fid=228809930854201063

Wanted to put this image up here..but apparently they prohibited it. Wanted to print screen it, but haha respect them ba.

Anyway it looks damn real if not for that pack of flakes.

(Oh u mean that's fake!?!)

Anyway there was this CNA report..

The Jzan guy is my CT rep(Its not Jzan though, they spelled it wrongly) If my class people happens to come across this, yes i have posted it on the class blog, but was deleted (kind of obvious who did it if it really happened). Haha.

I'm going for a grid computing course for the next 2 days..hopefully this course will be a useful one, and make me less guilty from seeing so many of my peers going for holidays, ocip trips, holidays jobs, job attachments, research attachments etc etc etc.

30 hours without broadband

Hmm blogging on a Linux now..haha..come to that later.

Well yup i went 30 hours without broadband. It started yesterday morning when the modem could not connect up to the Internet. It did not work despite efforts by me and my brother.

So..decided to wait for my father to come home first before deciding what to do. Meanwhile, i put my time to err..better use by installing Fedora Core 3 on my comp.

Called Starhub at midnight...but their technicians were busy...finally called back today afternoon and fixed the thing quickly.

Apparently we were new subscribers and they had missed out some settings I supposed...

Now I'm typing out this blog entry on a Linux. Linux is actually rather sluggish on my comp...I guess is because I installed quite alot of stuff. Haha.
Using Linux now is like learning how to use a computer all over again.
While Linux and Windows are similar on the whole, there are still striking differences, eg. a whole new lot of extensions!

So far so good....although Firefox is still not very good at displaying websites, and its Gaim instant messenger gave me alot of error messages the moment I signed in. And I can't find the option for group chat.

But i like this Gaim messenger for 2 reasons:

1) It keeps all the conversations in one window, so I won't have 10 windows on my menu while talking to 10 friends.

2) It actually tells me that my friend closed the conversation window! So means I will know if you dao me. Heh heh.

But then again, my fedora core is one version behind...maybe I will look out for newer versions of these programs.

That's all for now..i go play around somemore.

Its amzing how those Taiwanese political candidates have the energy to go different cities every day trying to get support from the citizens. Last night on news they were showing the Taiwanese president yelling together with his party's candidates at different locations.

Actually i admire their patriotism towards the country, which transforms into this moltivation and energy enabling them to go all out.

Taiwan's political scene is so exciting. If only Singapore's can be half as exciting...haha.

Chinese language radio channels started off playing pure chinese songs. Later, english songs began to creep in and we can hear them occassionally. In recent years, japanese and korean songs can be heard on chinese radio channels too.

Last night, i heard a german song being played! (Or at least, that's what the DJ claims)

Just came back from school.

Its extremely rare to get a perfect bus trip, which to me means:

1) very little people on the bus,
2) one can sit at a corner at the last row with no one else around,
3) air-conditioner just right, not cold not hot,
4) weather just right, not sunny not rainy,
5) driving style of the driver just right, no sudden braking nor sudden acceleration,
6) no TV Mobile,
7) no noisy engines,
8) no bumpy roads,
9) no noisy children and hokkien-spewing uncles on the handphones.

(It takes 2 hands to clap, so on your side...)

10) a MP3 player with suitable songs inside,
11) not in a rush to go somewhere else,
12) not happy, not sad, not angry,
13) able to put down all your thoughts.

Simply heaven. And i happen to experience one today. Haha.

Its so comfortable that i don't wish to get off the bus...wishing that the bus trip can be longer, or simply, its goes on forever.

Anyway last night i was flipping through my 2003 sec sch yearbook and i realised that so many of my seniors around me were from ahs.

I do know my previous house captain was from ahs, but i didnt know the previous vice house captain was from ahs too. And in robotics, one senior told me he was from ahs, but i didnt know the other senior (which i was close to) was also from ahs.

And all except one were from the same class!

Then i recognised two seniors from my senior class in the handbook.

AHS rox =D

Oh..today is World AIDS Day..

Haha i was reading vjc's forums and there is this thread where they discussed what one can do while travelling in the MRT.

I particularly like this person's suggestion:

Close ur eyes and go to sleep. Or try to outstare the guy with the bushy moustache sitting opposite you. If he looks away first, stand up point at him and shout, "LOSER!!!"

Hello world.

Today is a very quiet day...was rotting at home..not many people online to chat with too.

My mother keeps asking me to study for my re-papers..but aiya i sianx la.

LAtely the newspapers forum is hot over a man.

This man, an Australian, was transitting through Singapore when he suay suay tio caught by our customs. Then he suay suay had some 400g of heroin strapped to his body. And suay suay our laws say its death penalty for >= 15g of heroin.

So he suay suay tio death penalty lor.

Apparently, the Australians felt that death penalty is capital punishment that belonged to Third World countries. Thus they are protesting over the death sentence and even called on everyone to boycott Singapore's products and services.

All the letters into the forums are making me confused. One says all Australians are against the death sentence. Another says all Australians support the death sentence. Hmm..dunno which is true.

Well, this issue is rather political., so i not going to comment too much la hor...but i guess u all smart people hor, should know my stand la!

Maybe i will just add a statement here...i personally think that each and every country has its own laws...so..since a person is stepping on a particular country's soil, he should respect the country's laws. Right?

Guess that's all for now.

Hello world.

Haix competition is getting tougher and tougher....i'm collapsing...i'm dying.....i don't know how long more can i hold on....

The shophouses opposite my house is undergoing some improvement works..and i'm surprised to find that they removed all the grass patches and filling up with bricks.

I wonder if its a good thing......

The scenery is so beautiful today...

Countdown...less than 3 hours!

Hmm...my friends are going on a dangerous swat mission tonight...much more dangerous than the one i personally went for the last time..cos this is at night and the place is rather open to "sniping".

Haha. Sad i can't go. Hope there will be more of such missions the next time so i can go.

Meanwhile, good luck to them. Hope they will achieve all the objectives without any loss of lives.

Haix, this holidays many of my peers are working...at toy r us la, at sitex la, or have job or research attachments...at Mindef la, at IHPC la...

And i got nothing!

Feels like a slacker. Haix.

Countdown...2 days.....

Hello world.

Spent the whole day at ngee ann poly..went there for robocode competition.

Haix tio thrashed by an ITE team..which went on to be champion.

On my way home, i had a rare oppuntunity to be in the same MRT carriage as 4 young kids, and after this experience i should say that its not easy bringing 4 young hyperactive kids into the MRT. Haha.

Damn tired now...blog another day.

Countdown..3 days....

Its interesing to note that various town councils are coming up with upgrading projects to improve the facilities in their neighbourhoods.

Together with announcements of the opening of closed MRT stations etc etc....hmm......

Countdown...5 days.....

It sure is a cold day...rained the entire day.

Actuallly i quite like these kind of rainy days...Little bit of drizzle but small enough to walk in the open without an unbrella. Then I won't sweat while walking around, and little human traffic also.

Do any of you read the Lian He Zao Bao ZBNow section? On the TV listings page there is a small column where people can call in to talk about media stuff. Usually they will complain about how our only TV company sucks etc etc.

I find their comments very amusing. Let's just take today as an example. Back then when the two TV companies first merged, viewers complain that they were not enough shows and dramas to keep the people entertained.

Now, one guy is complaining that the 2 channels are showing too many dramas! They don't know what to watch!

Then there is a comment that our newscaster cannot speak very fluently..said she stammers alot because she repeats alot of stuff. Then the person went on to say that actually some of the words already appear on tv, so needless for the newscaster to repeat whatever's on the screen.

So...those humans without an integrated graphics card do not need to watch news liaox lor..

Lastly, when these people call in to make their comments, they like to generalise by saying "Parents don't like to....", "Viewers want to see....", "Listeners.....".

Somehow they assume when they think a particular way, the whole world thinks the same way as them.

Of course i make the same mistakes sometimes too. I'm human.

Haix talk so much cock.

This morning is a cool rainy morning...a morning perfect for sleeping...but why am i here?

I was awake since 8+am...thanks to my father and mother. Shan't go into too much details.

Anyway, because of my 300th post and my blog bday thingy i didnt blog about last sat..haha..so backtrack ah..

Last sat i went to watch harry potter with a couple of friends..went to suntec to watch (for obvious reasons haha).

Harry Potter movies are getting more and more summarised...all the minor details are gone as the movie struggles to squeeze in all the major details....in fact there was only one scene of them having lessons!

And the big bully (malfort..?) only had one line to say throughout the entire movie.....

In all, a tad disappointing...but still a good movie. Haha i was telling my friends that for the next few movies they should spread one book out over several movies...say Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoneix : Part 1. This way they can satisfy the fans and earn alot of money at the same time. Haha crap.

After lunch went to camp inside WCG 2005. The competitors' arena looked like one underground illegal computer hacking centre of some sorts with the 100++ comps and the dim lights. Yet the main stage looked like a concert by some superstar.

I managed to catch the finals of the Dead or Alive Ultimate between the Singaporean guy and the Japanese guy. I won't say its a close fight, simply because the Singaporean guy was thrashed by the Japanese guy.=X The 2nd round when the singapore guy won, hmm i should say it was by sheer luck.

Of course, i'm not saying he suck.Its not easy to go through all the rounds of SCG then all the rounds of WCG. Kudos to him!

When will it be G**'s turn?

Soon after i realised the singapore cs:source Team Titans lost to Canada's Team_EG. Abit surprised, because i thought the singapore team very good. And the Canada's team was playing a quarter final match against Australia on the main stage...so i decided to stay and watch.

Well the Canadian team was strong after all...defeated the Australian team quite easily. In the end they went all the way to a bronze medal.

Big big surprise was Kazakhstan. Training only for 6 months using dial-up connection they actually got 2nd in cs: source. Cool man..

Wonder if i can take part next time...hmm..

By the way, that dead or alive world no 2 singaporean guy is my brother's friend in army...saw him on my bro's army photo. What a small world.

Xbox 360 debuts today! In the US i mean.. Singapore won't be so lucky to get it on the same day as US...well no impact on me also...i don't have the money haha.

This is my 3rd day using broadband..i should say i'm still not too used to just logging out of msn and not needing to disconnect any dialer. And the speed..haha last time if i clicked a wrong link i can quickly click the correct one before the wrong page loads...now cannot liaox haha.

Countdown....7 days....

Hello World.

Today is the 20th Nov. I typed out this post here. Why is today and this post so special? Because:

1) It is my blog's 2 yr old birthday!
(I never celebrated its 1 yr old birthday TT)

2) This is my 300th post!
(I never celebrated its 100th and 200th posts TT)

3) I got a new blog template! (Actually not exactly new, modified an old one)

4) I GOT BROADBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5) I'm going to get a new handphone!

(wanted to surprise you all..but some smart fellow guessed it too quickly..haha nvm)

I'll explain one by one...

Yup, today marks the start of my third year of blogging, ever since the 'testing testing' 2 yrs ago which i did after the exams. Reading through my previous entries i thought i have matured (abit), less details, more straight to the point entries.

And i have typed so much crap that this is my 300th entry liaox. I have yakked about so much stuff before..from exams to chalets to politics to current affairs to my friends. There were happy, sad and angry stuff..haha..all my memories.

I decided to change my blogskin..the AHS background stresses the eye out..so went back to my original blog template. (Haha it isn often i change my background)

I spent a few smses on my three good friends asking for a 4-letter, non-vulgar, impactful, meaningful word.
Why 4 letters? Because its not too many, not too little, gang gang hao.
They gave very good words, some too good to be be placed here haha.

Anyway i settled for noob..haha. Don't worry, i'm not scolding you all. Haha.
And the four-letter word will change from time to time.

And the most exciting of all...i got broadband!!!

Muahaha so happy. People always thought of me as a geeky person, but actually i always lag behind everyone in terms of ownership of the lastest technologies.

When peers had handphones, i could only play their handphones.

When peers had colour screen handphones, i had to deceive myself that my monochrome screen phone battery could last longer than theirs.

And when peers were playing maplestory i was having problems loading msn messenger games.

And while peers enjoy the lastest computer games in the comfort of their own homes, i can only occasionally touch them when they ask me out for lan sessions.

But then again, perhaps all those experiences taught me to be patient and tolerant..and of course, to be zhi zu.

Btw i'm using starhub now...i don't care if its dynamic IP or static...i'm happy i have one. =D

Last, but definitely not the least, and actually not confirmed, my father ask me if i want to change my handphone. With 3 buttons half-spoilt and a battery half gone, i guess i would like a new one. =D

But if i really change i will only get those dirt-cheap-less-than-$100 types.
I will be happy to settle for anything new. Hope it comes true. =D

So what are you all waiting for? Congratulate me and my blog la...and i dun mind presents =p

Countdown...9 days...

Hello World. I'm back =D

For the last few days i went to class chalet, tts y nvr blog.

Last night wanted to blog, but reinstalled comp, so couldnt.

So tues morning went to sch for maths lecture and tutorial.
At first thot i will go chalet with class after that; turned out many had their own activities and they will only go in evening time...so haix, might as well don't go.

Wed afternoon went to suntec...there was this clean and green week schools' carnival and vjc robotics had a booth..so i had to man the booth as the afternoon shift.
Item on display was an automatic air-con switch..which won first prize and most innovative award. Haha.
It even went up on tv leh!

Finally went to chalet after that...at aranda country club beside downtown east.

Stayed overnight there...last till abt 2am b4 deciding that i need some sleep.
All the "horizontal platforms" were taken so poor me had to sleep on an armchair (the only person to do that haix).
Managed a 4 hr sleep haha.

Why did i camp overnight? SImply becos the following day, thurs morning, had to go to school for NOI training..

The 3 hour test burnt my mind out and i was dead tired after that. Went home to bathe and catch a nap bfore going back to chalet for the bbq.

The 4-hour-sleep on an armchair proved fatal to me.
I slept well past 5.30pm and all the way till 7.30pm.
According to my mum she tried to wake me up twice and i even got up once to check my sms.
Strangely i had no recollection of that.

So rushed all the way down..luckily still not too late.

WEnt home at 11plus....i set off too late and the mrt all long gone liaox.
Fortunately there was bus 3. Otherwise i have to take taxi liaox. Ha.

That marks the end of the class chalet.
AS i announced my departure for home, my friend wondered when he will see me again.

Hmm...i have nothing for them to see...besides the earth will continue to spin with or without me.

Three things i learnt this week:

1) Sleeping on a bed is VERY IMPORTANT!

2) One should pick up some game cheats so can show off during chalet =p

3) Always buy your own food instead of getting others to buy. YOu may get them into trouble.

Hello.

Wah sianx....the 7th member have joined the computing olympaid team..a F maths china scholar who is bloody strong.
First day only and is scaring me with some chim maths formula to describe some recursive function.

And I was right about that IP guy.

THEY ARE DANGEROUS!

Anyway that aside, my phone became godly last week.

I have said before that my phone battery has spoilt and it could not last more than 24 hours.

Last week it lasted 48 hours without any drop of bar!

Then in a matter of 8 hours it dropped 2 bars.

Either the battery indicator is faulty, or my phone got prossessed.

(Or it simply means that people dont come and find me =( )

I watched the police and thief crime prevention special (yesterday?).

I quite like the show..while i applaud these innovative moves to get those crime prevention messages into our heads, i thought there was too much crime in the show.
Haha one small neighbourhood and everyone get robbed and burglar-ed everyday.

So i'm going for my class chalet over the next few days. Replying to G**, it startes today at 6pm, but i'm only going tml after my maths make up lecture.
It stretches all the way to fri (i may not go until then).

However if anyone happens to be in suntec this wed afternoon, most probably u will catch me there. Haix had to go and man some stupid booth.

Hello.

Yesterday morning went down to changi airport with some friends to catch the arrival of the A380. Haha.

Well i was slightly disppointed because the A380 was not as big as what i expected. Turned out its just tall, but not big.

But the engines were damn big though..bigger then usual...later at night i heard from news that the combined power of the 4 engines is about 3500 cars and they can reach half the temperature of the sun.

Still, the plane looked nice..all the curves are there =P

After that went to watch tom yum goong with my friend.

Wah lao the show was full of him twisting and breaking arms and legs..abit gross in my opinion.
Plus all the loud cracking sound effects...=X

I'm quite amused by his efforts to go out all the way just to save 2 elephants. Maybe its their custom ba.

Of course, there is the underlying message that we should care for our environment.

And not to buy pirated dvds. Haha.

Went to the library to borrow books. But haix, owed them too much money, cannot borrow liaox.

These days i'm trying to get Linux in my comp...not a very easy job since i'm new to it.
Hopefully it won't disappoint me..if its good i may just convert to linux =D

Sianx cant think of anything else to blog le. Guess that's all for now.

Hello World.

OP is over!

PW is over!

JC1 is over!

After my OP we stayed back to complete our gpf...our ST (cum CT) said he dunwan us to go back to school tml.

After handing in the gpf each of us got a pw feedback form to fill in..haha

(Not the exact same words, but similar meaning la)

Q1: Will you want to do project with your group again?

Q2: From 1 to 5, with 1 as contributing the most and 5 the least, rank the members of your group (including yourself) according to how much they have contributed to your group's project.

Q3 was giving constructive feedback about pw.

Haha.

After handing in the pw feedback form we got another piece of paper to write on: Our holistic report.

Haha basically it is a report on our non-academic stuff...like integrity, attendance, conduct, drive to success, outlook of life.

Yay my integrity, attendance, conduct and punctualiy got excellent leh =D

Actually while i think i (should) have basic personal integrity, i wonder if i should get excellent for it because if i see my friend cheat in test ah, i'm not sure if i will report haha.

Outlook for life i got "neutral", drive to success i got "Only responds to opportunties that appears"...the rest i forgot le.

Haha generally i agree with what i got la..of cos i will try to improve la (in case my CT reads this =P)

Then I was supposed to write any other strengths that I have that makes me special...but i couldnt come up with any haha.

Do you know how scary it is to receive a sms from your CT and the first statement is: "It is my duty 2 threaten u."

Hello World.

I'm in school now (again)...tying up loose ends for op..

It seems like the Paris riots are getting worse and worse...is spreading to other cities and copycat attacks are appearing in Germany.

Hmm...didnt our Singapore Government say we, the young generation, are not sensitive towards racial issues since we did not went through the 1963 racial riots?

Perhaps they should charter planes and fly the young Singapore generation to Paris to experience the riots over that so that we can be more aware of how important it is to have racial harmony. Haha.

Lately i watched some shows which kept talking about life and death. First was the movie 2002 on channel U on sunday night, then was last night's drama 同心圆2.

I think its quite sad if someone knows that he are going to die soon. Sometimes i will imagine that I know I will die in a few weeks time. The feeling isnt good you know...I havent achieve much in my life and suddenly i realised i have only a few weeks to live. Such a short time, what can I do?

So I will think what I can do within such a short time. Sit there and wait for death to come to me? Gather all my friends and have a big party together? Or do something I had always wanted to but had no courage to? Or do something I had always wanted to but had no chance/money to?

Seriously I don't know haha.

One pretty interesting statement i heard one guy in the 同心圆2 drama say was: The purpose of life is to await death. We humans can achieve great achievements, but we still cant escape death.

If he say until like that then why do we humans still need to do so much research etc etc etc?

Don't bother replying...i'm just talking crap.

What the hell la...my CT actually ganged up with the class to take a photo of me during OP rehearsal..$%^&(%!(*$*#@)^)@#!!!!!

Hello.

Haiya...come to blogger but dont know what to blog...now everyday op..nothing special also...but i gotta fill up 6 more posts before 20th nov.

Frankly speaking i thought this year's singapore hits awards abit pathetic.
Our local stars came alright, but the foreign stars only that same few people came.
At first heard them say mayday coming, i was like wah...in the end only the lead singer came.

And all the surprise is gone when you know that which foreign stars are coming...because they are bound to take something home.

No choice la...singapore market too small liaox..can only export cannot import.

Lately i'm getting hooked to super bomberman, super mario, power rangers, street fighters etc haha...thanks to a friend who introduced a super nintendo emulator..quite fun though, no brainer games that will not stress my eyes(and the graphics card) out with those beautiful graphics.

Past week the weather had been very unpredictable.
One day rain so heavily the sch is threatening to collaspe, one day sun so hot that its melting weather.

But the rain has cleared up the skies..its not often i get to see such a clear and beautiful sky.

Hmm..all random stuff.

DRAGOSTEA DIN TEI

Ma-ia-hii
Ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo
Ma-ia-haha

Alo, Salut, sunt eu, un haiduc,
Si te rog, iubirea mea, primeste fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt eu Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

Te sun, sa-ti spun, ce simt acum,
Alo, iubirea mea, sunt eu, fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt iarasi eu, Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

PW OP Season
By Reporter S

It is the Project Work-Oral Presentation season and students in junior colleges all over Singapore are busy preparing for it.
Over at Victoria JC, it is a hive of activity at the V-Block as students are jamming V2X (where X is bigger than 2 and smaller than 9)
Laptops, usually unseen of in college, are a common sight now.
Rich students who cannot find a place in the comp labs are stationing themselves in the canteen and concourse.
Not-so-rich students have borrowed all the school laptops that the technicians have to paste "No notebooks/laptops until furthur notice" on their door.
A count by the reporter on one fine day returned at least 10 laptops in the canteen, making the academic institution look like some high-tech farm.
Even the V26 computer lab, built specially for the college's IT club, Icomp, is also hosting non-icomp students as some groups are creating videos for the extra five minutes of "visual aid".

(The reporter hopes that the readers will understand that he is also preparing for OP and thus have not much time to blog. Sorry!)

Btw....this is an example of the powerful-ness of CGI nowadays: http://www.disney.it/Film/movies/chickenlittle/

Hello.

Today early morning went school...yup computing olympaid resume le...was expecting a scolding from the senior because none of us have been practising since dunno-how-long-ago, but haha he nvr scold.

A new guy joined us as the 6th member..an IP guy..he seems a formidable "enemy"..hmm...Cos NOI each school can only send in 5 members...so now with him in, means need to fight for that 5 places liaox..haix.

Spent the whole 3 hours sitting in the concourse solving weird mathematical induction questions (yup they are vv related to competitive programming).
Among the 5 of us (one sick nvr come), excluding the IP guy since he havent learn MI, one is a F maths student, another got 81 for maths promos, and the last is a GIC scholar with 3 As for promos.
I failed my maths, making me the worst out of the five there. Haix.

Anyway, today the new batch of IP students came for a "pre-orientation orientation", basically walked around and buying new uniform. The bunch of us at the corner were secretly laughing at the girls buying knee-length skirts and belts =pPp

After that went PP for lunch, before heading back for a OP rehearsal. Haix.

I thought maybe i should make my stand clear. [No, i'm not angry, just stating my stand]
No, I don't like having my face appearing on photos, because i think my face suck and it will destroy the otherwise nice looking photo. [Don't argue with me.]
I will only have a photo taken under forced circumstances, like class photo, group photo, passport or IC photo, or at special sessions like farewell or party or whatever, or if i go to jail and a photo of me needs to be taken and put into the newspapers.
Of course, I dont mind u all taking photos of me if u ask me beforehand. IF i say no, can you please don't insist?If i say yes, can don't take advantage of me and keep snapping?

Wah long post. Typed so much rubbish.

Things to do over the "no-official-lesson-months":

1) Complete InR
2) Complete an animation for that extra 5 mins of OP
3) Complete 2 more EOMs
4) Complete programming a vitural robot that can win something
5) Continue computing olympaid training
6) Maybe go for Thinkquest
7) Prepare for physics and chem R papers
8) Install Fedora in my comp and play around with it
9) A new blog template
10) Watch Harry Potter

That's all for now i guess...cant think of others right now.

知道有chiA和LEP的人读我的blog,小弟在此献丑，还请大家多多原谅！

已经几百年没用华文写张像样的文章了，现在再次提键盘打华文字，真有点不习惯，哈哈！那些四个字四个字的我都还给老师了，现在只会小学一年级的简单词字。

其实很久以前就有想用华文blog的念头了,只是当时华文字不能准确的显现出来.现在可以了,看到广峰的blog,手上又有学校的电脑,就试试看lor。

自从上了初院,能用华文的机会就少得可怜,和朋友老师也是以英语沟通,有时尝试用华语,说不到两句,不知不觉又回到英语去了.

每个人看到我手机和zen micro都用华文,听说我听华文歌,说我很cheena。

我可是新加坡人leh,english华文都No problem!

不是说以前在圣中没有用英语,只是当时很容易switch,现在比较难。或许是太习惯英文了吧！

想不到还有什么可以blog的，就在此搁笔（搁键盘）了。

用华文blog比较费时费力，我没这么多时间，所以我看我有时间有心情再用华文blog吧。

大家好！

Hello.

You can see that a charity show is getting desperate when you see dangerous shows not long after the show started.

I thought the show isnt tt exciting anymore following the absence of Cao Qi Tai. Haha.

I liked Wei Lian's performance..the one where he sang and wrote chinese characters.Simple but touching.

Did i mention i got back my 16PF report recently?

16PF, for those who don't know, stands for 16 personality factors.
Yup its a personality test, but the more powderful type.
How powderful? About 150 questions to answer. Cost $50 somemore.
But is school pay not me haha.

I filled my name in the wrong place then end up calling me Mr Qing Wei throughout the report. Haha.

I got 9 (out of 10) for "investigative" leh, then they say i suitable to have job in maths, science, research, computer science.

Then why my maths and science still so shitty?

Then my business competencies all lower than average, means if i do business i sure fail de haha.

My leadership also all lower than average, though i got 7.8 for permissive leadership. Means i'm a lousy leader.

Haha my emotional stability only got 3. Means i'm a reactive person.

The report say i must "guard against the possibility that others may take advantage of me because of a tendency to be too accommodating in his relationships with others".

So...ahem AHEM.

Last but not least, our dear friend G** is going for his Singapore Physics Olympaid on tuesday. I may not blog tml, and he may be busy mugging tml, so i shall wish him

GOOD LUCK!

today.

May he thrash all the foreigners (singaporeans as well) and bring glory to AHS, to TJC, to Singapore.

Fellow Anglicans, Tjcians, Singaporeans, lets wish him good luck on his tagboard (my tagboard also can) so we can pressur, err i mean, encourage him =D

Hello.

My econs friend has shot me until i got nothing to say le. Haha fine i accept that.

Previous two nights i fell asleep before i could on the computer, so haha didnt blog.

Today early in the morning i went to sch to attend a panel discussion on university admission.

University fees cost a #^&%!*%(@! $21000+++ bucks a year! #*&%&*%@(!!!!!

Well, all 3 universities sound interesting enough, but i have not decided which uni to go to and what course to take.

Maybe i cant even get into a university.

Initially i wanted to blog a happy entry on tampines rovers fc winning the sleague. But alas, they had to lose last night's match against home united.

Nvm though, tampines still win liaox. The only way they cannot win the sleague champion is to lose next week's match, and second-placed SAFFC win their oppenent 28-0. Haha.

I heard from my frens 2 (shocking) things over the week.

First: For every A1 any sec4 student scored for prelims, AHS will give him/her $2.

Second: AHS's top sec4 student (i mean my batch, tt 4K china scholar) is also a top student at hwa chong.

Please help me verify.

(PS: This blog entry does not reflect how i feel now.)

I signed up for this wholivesnearyou thingy quite some time ago (meaning one year ago) after i read a newspaper report about 2 (local) teenagers who created it. I haven't gone there for a long time until a friend recently added me.

Then wah, i'm surprised to see the website change alot le leh. Now they got support from pac net, need hp number to verify account, can add friends etc etc. Its much more secure and advanced now, and its more happening le. Cool.

Hello.

Sorry, Monday was blogging halfway then teacher came, so had to stop.Yesterday was busy trying to get Written Report done, so no time to blog.

Yup, today was the offical deadline for the submission of the project work written report. Skipped almost every lesson the whole day and skipped lunch and spent half the day in the computer lab to get approval from the teacher and print 70+ pages of stuff out.

My ST is a computing teacher, thus my class got the advantage of using L25, a rarely-used computer lab to get the stuff printed out. The free access lab was packed with students and heard they had difficuly printing their WR out. Heh heh.

Anyway, to continue from where i left off, i was saying that i just accept whatever results i got. I personally thought i had improved...from "don't know how to do" to "do wrongly " haha. My papers had less empty pockets and more text le. just that i made too many mistakes.

AS for computing, my c++ problem solving section still ok; it was the theory section that pulled me all the way down. Perhaps i pay more attention to theory next time ba.

AIya nvm, there's always next year. Can de la can de la, i sure can make it de =D

(I wanted to put a song here to end this up nicely, but i couldnt find the lyrics. Will get it next time.)

Hmm, sometimes I wonder are humans getting too proud of themselves such that they need hurricanes and weird viruses to remind them that mother nature is still the king after all?

Perhaps humans should learn to be more humble and learn to care more about the environment. Haha.

Today news report that the company that produces the flu drug to counter the bird flu is going to let other companies produce the drug as well( err something like that i think)

That made me wonder why humans have to earn money from saving fellow humans? A flu virus is breaking out, and they are going, "Pay me money to buy my drug so that you can save yourself."
Why are humans so obsessed with money? Even when death is just right in front of them?

Hello...haha i'm using "school resources" now heh heh.

Yesterday and today were the two worst days in my seventeen years of my life.

Because i got the worst set of examination results in my seventeen years as a student.

On Monday i got back 3 papers in the first half of my day, Maths, Physics and Chemistry.

I got E for Maths, O for Physics and Chemistry.

In theory, i can get promoted, but that is if i can pass my GP. If i fail my GP, i have to get 3 Es, which i don't have.

And throughout the day i keep hearing people failing GP, including a class where 'everyone got 40plus' for GP.

So i was like a zombie for the whole day, cos i didnt think i will pass GP.

Then, when i got my GP at the last period of the day, i realised i passed! i got 50/100!

I got D for computing, one mark from the C grade =(

K la, now cannot ask for much...i can promote i happy liaox. Haha.

Well, i'm still upset i cant get any S papers i wished for, in fact i have to take 2 R papers....haix.

To be continued.......

Hello.

It rained the whole day today..rained so much that many parts in singapore were flooding. The traffic light in front of my house spoilt too.

It was a relatively quiet day for me. Besides a friend who called me to discuss about pw, i didnt really talk to anyone. The raining weather also contributed to my peaceful mood. Haha i quite like it. Maybe my world is getting too noisy and happening.

Sianx. Tomorrow will get back papers liaox. I feel like escaping. I'm not vexed over my results. I accept whatever i get. I'm just afraid that my teachers and parents will start rattling at me. Sometimes i can really go crazy listening to their nags.

I liked yesterday's straits times saturday special on the end of Earth. But i thought the reports only reported on the natural disasters and missed out on something more important: those human-slaying viruses and bacteria that are getting deadlier and more resistant to drugs.

Maybe my horrible results is another sign that the end of earth is coming. Haha.

Today early in the morning went to ngee ann poly for the workshop...realised that me and my fren were the only jc pple there..the rest all ite and poly pple...even a team from ntu. Wah die liaox sure tio thrashed.

Rushed back to vjc after the workshop. Think i missed out quite alot of fun..cos significantly less people in the hot afternoon. But still caught up with 2 of my frens..long time never see them liaox.

I thought the crowd was ok, but many pple said this year less pple came compared to last year.

Anyway unique stuff we had for this year's open house include a giant windmill set up by the odac, though it didnt spin when the wind blew.

There was also a pile of sand on a canvas sheet in the field to simulate beach volleyball, but i thought it looked more like soil than sand haha.

Of course there was the 3 treehouses which were completed just in time for the open house. Those are permanent structures.

Otherwise, this year's open house looked suspiciously similar to last year's. Heh heh.

Now that the open house is over, its back to pw and....awaiting of promos results. Haix.

You know ah, it doesnt help when you know you suck at the exams and your friends around you are getting damn good results for the same subjects or even the same papers. It makes you look damn stupid.

I'm listening to songs from mayday's new album. Quite an inspiring album. I recommend all to listen to it.

Hello.

Thanks to my dear G** for his 6 tags and my junior as well. I'm still quite upset, and for now nothing is gonna change my point that i am a failure in life.

But, i will put that aside for now. =D

This past week has been a hectic week..coming to sch every single day from dawn to dusk (maybe slightly shorter). First 3 days had to rush a video for the yr2 farewell...and there was some pressure because icomp did a VERY impressive video for teachers' day and pushed people's expectations of us too high up.

The video was decent i guess, though cant expect much from a 3-day video haha.

Thurs went back sch for pw and s cube seminar. After sch it was back to icomp.

Today was farewell assembly. Cool man the farewell assembly was quite grand. Got games, got performances.

There was also singing by this new singer. Never heard of her before, but she just came up de la. She got a blog cum fan site can go see...at http://www.genie.sg

Didnt receive any negative feedback about the video. I guess its alright ba.

After tt went to eat ice cream. Haha nestle sponsered 2 trucks of ice creams for today's farewell and tomorrow's open house. Cool right? (pun intended) Each person has one leh! haha. I got to eat extra because some people not around. Haha.

Then it was back to icomp. We are setting up a booth for open house and doing some camera-hooked-to-plasma-screen thingy, quite alot of things to do.

In all i think our overly-done open house will be quite a fun thing tml. Too bad i will be missing it the whole morning. I will rush back in the afternoon i promise.

VJC is a fun place. Really. Its just the stress that i can't withstand.

Seriously i think i am a failure in life.

Since primary school, i have tried to pick up many skills, but i never got to be good in anything. Here's a breakdown:

I took up badminton as my cca in pri 3. In the end i couldnt get into the school team and soon, i was forgotten and kicked out.

I learnt drawing at a nearby community centre in pri sch too, but after a year or 2 i had to stop because it clashes with remedial lessons on sat. Since then i hardly drew and now i cant draw a shit.

I played soccer during recesses in pri sch. After playing for about 3 plus, 4 years, i still couldnt pick up any decent skills and i remained a defender standing at the back of the field.

I even tried running. Signed up for relay for sports day in pri 5 or 6 i forgot..for got nothing.

When i went to secondary school i decided that i had enough of sports. I joined the computer club. Quite a wrong choice, because i learnt nothing inside.

Had my hands on basketball. Sucked at it.

Took up 3 sciences in sec3 under pressure. I thought too highly of myself, and ended up not doing well in any of the 3 sciences.

End of sec4, again i thought i very li hai, so picked vjc. WHat is happening now? I am suffering there.

In jc, i realised i can never handle 3 pure sciences, so i dropped biology for computing, thinking i may be better in it.

What happened? I failed computing. Yup. I failed the subject i had the most fun with, the subject i had the most confidence in, the subject i loved best, the subject i worried the least. I failed it.

[And that is not the only subject i failed.]

So now, all the hopes of S papers are gone; in fact i think i have to start preparing for R papers.

Besides getting my college subjects into a mess, my extra activities arent doing well too. I still cant solve all the simple programming problems, and the trainer and the teacher are questioning whether i can get any medal for my computing olympaid.

So since young i have failed everything that i tried. I don't know what other thing can i try.

Perhaps i should go and die.
I am just wasting earth's resources, wasting money on internet and hp bills, wasting people's time reading this stupid blog or replying my smses, wasting money on school fees, books, notes, food, water.
And I am depriving other people of a precious space in the wonderful college of victoria.

When one is down and out, even the computer also wants to make fun of him.

To hell with me.

I'm sooo happy today(i mean yesterday)!!!

Because a miracle happened!

U know, a couple of days ago i was complaining that i had a workshop to attend on sat and thus cant take part in open house? Then i said i still hope a miracle will happen?

Today i received an email saying that the workshop on sat will be from 9.30am to 12nn! Means i can still go back vj for open house!

Muahaha i so zhun..miracle happened on me leh! =D

Hello.

Haha i was just about to question the need for students to complain that exams questions are difficult when the news report of errors in the maths paper.

They actually apologised leh....i dun rmb them apologising when there was an error in our olvl biology paper...they didnt even say how they will handle it..only said they will treat every student fairly.

But still, i think there was no need to complain to the whole singapore that exams questions are hard la..as my fren just told me, its part of life!

If you buy it le subscribe to it le then tell me cannot use, u might as well dun buy, dun subscribe? Might as well ask me go die?

I'm back.

Yup, i finished my exams last friday. But i didnt blog till today cos partially i was lazy, and i dunwan distract those who still got exams (see ah, if i dun blog ah, u all wun waste ur time reading it ma).

This promos....its downright horrible. Didnt do well for subjects i was weak in, didnt do well for subjects tt i was strong in. Now i just hope i can keep my 4 subjs, and perhaps miracally get one s paper......

I have alot to blog..haha..cos alot happened during the promos week...i guess i will break them up so u (and i) wun be straining my eyes reading one long chunk of shit.

Friday after my promos, went with my class to orchard cineleisure...cineleisure was already filled with people from many jcs...with more busloads of victorians coming.

Ate food from a japanese-themed eatery the first time..haha..some chicken rice meal.
After tt went on to play an hour of lan and watch movie...ending the day with a walk down orchard road.

Spent the weekend slacking. Haha set up the Brother all-in-one printer tt i won at computron...then was playing with the scanner.
Haha i tried scanning a picture at 1200dpi x 1200dpi..then the computer hung. Haha.

I wun be slacking anymore this week. In fact i will be more busy. I am part of the team to create a video for the yr2 farewell, which is friday. Tt makes us less than a week to complete a "memorable" video.
Also coming sat is open house...so gotta prepare micromouse to wow those little kids =P

I was soooo looking forward to open house during the promos la, cos its such an exciting event and i thot i can have some fun after promos and before PW.
But alas, heaven had to play a joke on me...i have to participate in some competition then sat have to go ngee ann poly for a workshop. WHich means i cannot be part of open house!

I dread the feeling of being left out in some major school event. The whole world will be talking about how exciting how fun it is then i dun understand a thing.

Well i am still hoping some miracle will happen....like the workshop will be postponed or something. Haha.

It gets kind of scary when weird things start happening to your body that you nvr see before and you have no idea what it is, how it came about etc.
You want to cure it, yet you don't dare to go to the doctor for fear that you will be presented with some bad news like you have only 3 months left. Haix.

I hope i can create a new blog template soon. Haha i need one to reflect my err...maturity. =P
