ssef!

ssef here i come! i'm feeling really ambivalent abt it though really. sure a chance for me to make my big break, but it can just as easily end up in nothingness. plus, the fact that i have yet to prepare for smthing coming up like 1 week and 6 days is not a VERY fun thought.

need to make posters, and not sure if i'll also use a power point... anyways, at least the breifing at science center transformed me froma totally clueless to being only half clueless abt ssef. not a bad accomplishment. and at least i get to miss chem lect test and gp common test since it clashes nicely with the dates and timing... so at least its NOT so bad... and sheesh the results will be relased the day after the judging... really fast lah. so anyways that fair thing lasts for 2 days... the 1st will be the judging day and the 2nd is open to school teachers and students + the public... sighz. hope that at least i'll get shortlisted for ats. i.e. i hope that at least i'll get a medal... otherwise really nowhere to hide my face also lah... like the past few ppl who did their srp/ssef projects in ibn all got like gold medals in ssef lah... sighz. and yes there's a lot of ppl in the breifing today. plus some are prob not around. so like wah so many grps man! comp will no doubt be v tough. even just looking at my sch's shortlisted participants like like a really tough fight le... like all the smart smart geppers n non-geppers whom i used to gawk and stare in awe at their mental prowness... are now my competitors!!!! wah... :(

so econs essay test indeed was postponed. gp essay test proceed normally though. the qns were ok, no science qn but i managed to find an ok geo qn to write on. but i think my essay structure is horrid though. like all my paragraphings are wrong, cos i have too many indiv egs. to put in (yet they are related enough for them to look strange in a new para) so in the end my paras end up being very very long. and yes i did try my best to keep reminding the examiner wat the essay qn is abt at the end of every para, but i doubt i expressed it nicely so it like plain repetative and boring. plus i failed to define keywords and stuff clearly at the start again:( and of cos i had no stats. read an article on what i was writing on a real long while back, but just COULDNT reacall ANY of the stats written in the article:( haiz.

bio and econs test tmr. wish me luck.

wat? back to sch so soon?!?!?

time flies... as usual i guess. before u know it the hols's gone. and when u start counting the tasks accomplished you realise its close to none.

well anyways, here's a report on how thing's going with my attempt at studying for tests:

managed to finish studying for half of bio, and 1/10th of chem, and sorta done econs, which we are supposed to have the test tmr but apparently i heard a rumour that it's postponed to thurs... oh wells... just read through the tuts and lect notes anyways... i find the rumor pretty strange though... met my econs teacher last fri and she didnt say a thing abt it... apparently she told my class ct rep, who forgot to inform the class... which really makes me wonder why she didnt make the announcement on yahoo grps though... and yet the info come from a pretty trustworthy person, so i have no idea what to believe.

oh wells... attempted to make notes for bio but i think i'm gonna end up reproducing/copying out my entire lect notes as usual... i dunnoe how ppl can make their own notes... i always fail to do so... somehow its like everything is impt to me so i basically end up with a copy of my lect notes only this time in shortform n ptform....

so that's just abt it for my academic pursuits... oh yeah a *tried* doing that gp mcq qns on politics and man... i cant do 99% of the qns!!!!!! like w**??? k, shows how stupid i am when it comes to such matters... :S

4 days and counting... and still not used to my new specs... feels like i cant really focus on anything at times... like i cant see clearly... sighz. just the right time to be forced to change specs i guess. with all the lovely dovey tests coming up... and bio spa nxt mon... how exciting...

but on a more serious note, i'm getting used to this horrid system of spoon feedin ppl.... no need to memorize/study like crazy for spa anymore... everything is just coming to me naturally.... i didnt even study for the last chem spa and i still had plenty of time to shake my leg... like 15 over mins in fact:P haha, maybe things ARE actually starting to go back to the gd o' days when i can just heck abt chem... or maybe not... still have to remember all the rxns for org chem... and practise for phy chem which i so absolutly suck at... but well its econs that i'm most worried abt. i dont seem to be getting anything abt writing essays at all. at least gp i know that my teacher will be throwing plenty of hw to make sure that everyone gets at least a b, and maths at least i'm able to catch the last few topics... but econs... like cant write essay? byebye to you! i think my mistake in writing econs essays is that i fail to pt in the econs concepts properly... but that DOES NOT come naturally to me and i do not know how to do it properly... hopefully i'll learn soon enough, and ge used to it soon enough to get a decent grade for econs... hopefully. bio... not confident abt it either... sighz... basically, smtime i really feel like dropping maths and econs... and then i'm left with gp chem and bio, of which gp and bio i'm really not confident of, and then that leaves me with 1 sub... wow chem ftw!

oh wells... that basically sums up what i'm feeling right now... and i guess that's a long enough entry for now, so i guess i'll just shut up and go back to studying, before you have to hear me rant abt failing some test..... gd nite!

Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

CNY eve

so changed specs yest... still not used to it lah.. its like giving me headaches and i cant really read properly... oh wells hope i get used to it soon.

helped vacum the floor today... and tried to pack a bit of stuff... mum and dad got like 3 roast duck this morn... one for the reunion dinner later, and the other for us to eat like today and tmr and the day after... if you get what i mean...

zzz

zzz... gp remedial got cancelled today... so i have like 4.5hrs to wait for my cca to start... not gonna skip today's session lah... already skipped last weeks session and didnt come to schon thurs the week before... and theres nothing much tmr lah... so why skip???

anyways going to orchard with my troopers after take 5 tmr! whoohoo! sis might join us... since her sch ends at like 1 which is abt the same as mine... and she would have some spare time b4 her swim training... hopefully she'll join us lah:) hopefully.... smsed her and she refused to tell me... say tt she'll tell me at home... sighz. pretty excited abt tmr actually... lol.

cny... its like a non occasion lah seriously.... never enjoyed the visiting mcuh anyway... well its nice to see my cousin once more but apart from that like there nothing much for me to do at my other relative's house... maybe i'm go study h3 chem:)

haiz h3 chem arhs... such a big headache lah. like really no idea what's gonna be tested... dunnoe how much to study. worst still i'm not in the mood to study:S no i'm not in the cny/hol mood, but i'm not in the studying mood either. :(

haiz... broke my specs during pe yest... you know the part which hold the rubber thing u rest on ur nose... still can wear lah, but the whole metal thing broke off so its basically beyond repair. chose a new frame yest... gonna collect it tmr... haiz. $$$....

anyways, the sch comp is in a really sad state... and the internet is ultra slow:( haiz.

k enough ranting for now... and i really cant stand pressing the spacebar... its all wobbly and feels like its gonna drop off le... k go home then blog...

hmm... i dont know if things are getting better or worst, but now it seems like i'm paying full attention during math lects but i end up sleeping during chem... and somemore now chem is on kinetics... and like phy chem is my weak sub... so yeah... oh wells.

econs is like whizzing past me... no idea how to do the essay test next week... speaking of which, we have a gp essay test tmr... sighz... my teacher had better show us some love by giving us easier qns (i.e. qns a SCIENCE class can write abt). yeah but anyways she's a real cool gp teacher lah... love reading her blog entries:P haha she just delicated the last one to my class... damn hilarious lah haha:P yeah anyways its nice knowing that u are going to learn smthing during gp lessons and u even have gp remedial lessons for once... compared to last year, things are much much better now...

monday blues

the start of the week... u are supposed to feel refreshed and recharged after a break during the weekends. yeah right. the very thought of having to go back to sch is depressing enough to make you feel down in the doldrums...

anyways, a whole list of wonderful tests coming up after cny (and before as well)..........................:
This wedn - gp essay test
Next wedn - econs essay test
Next thurs - bio lect test
Next fri - h3 chem test
Next next thurs - h2 chem lect test

haiz.

jajaja

so i had to reinstall everything, and i lost all my srp data cos i happily saved that in the desktop the last time:( luckily i DO have that on my laptop though its not the lastest one, and luckily i do have the final copy of my report somewhere in my email... other then that and the fact that i dont have the lastest favourites saved in d drive... at least the comp is working now!

new printer!

yup my dad got us a new printer cum scanner cum photocopier 3 in one thingy. printing speed definately much faster then the old one. and quality is gd for normal use lah. got scanner and stand alone copier so it much more convient i guess. the old scanner very troublesome... and somehow windows always cannot detect it!?!?!? anyway... can finally print out all the bio n gp stuff le.

yup now... haiz dunnoe whether the comp will work or not... reinstalling windows now... and reformated drive c le... i hope they didnt reformat the wrong drive... cos like the last time i backed up my data was like at the start of last yr!!!:S sighz... blame it on my lazyness:( only thing i'm really worried abt losing is actually my cca stuff... and yeah of cos i got my sch work but at least i've printed like the essays and stuff out and i most probably wont print out again... sighz.

anyway the chem spa went ok... math test was erm... not too sure abt it though. cos like i could do the qns, but when comparing answers i think all my ans are wrong loh:( and yeah i didnt manage to do a part qn... cant remember how many marks that was... but still i dont think that passing shd be a prob, cos at least shd get the method marks and i dont think all the 3 vectors qns would get all wrong right? at least i don think i'm that careless... plus i was feeling ultra awake when doing the paper lah... sheesh... so much so for my 'instincts' and 'feelings' though... its the results that come out that matters.

but yeah the chem spa... hope the teacher would not be ultra strict lah... cos i got lag time and yeah supposed to pour smthing and start stopwatch at the same time but i pour half the stuff down before starting stopwatch. and supposed to stopper and then swirl but i paused a bit before swirling.... oh wells.... but the writing part was ok. had more then enough time lah... like would find any more sources of errors to write abt so i only wrote 5... which is already more then enough lah:P :D hehe. yeah had like 10-15mins left over:P

haiz. hope the old comp works out!

torn into pieces

stayed back for some take 5 briefing yest, i wouldnt say that its stupid, but to me it was an absolute waste of time. simply cos i dont have anything to do with it... not even the msg afterwards abt the colors ceremony was relevant to me since i'm only in SOME pathetic club. yeah, total waste of time lah, considering that i had to stay back for like 3 hrs waiting for the briefing... sheesh they could have just made the breifing be during our ass slot right? then at least we dont have to wait for so long...

so yup chem spa tmr... and math test... and some ev thing gosh i almost forgot abt it! arghs that means that i have to copy h2 and h3 chem lect notes from somebody, and eat lunch within half an hour! arghs no... i cant postpone copying the notes anymore... wait for one whole wk le... better find time to copy during recess. hopefully chem spa wont end too late.

math remedial really helps man... i think its cos its forcing me to do my work... lol.
had class lunch today... but as usual the class was like scattered everywhere... like across three tables in the canteen... its just so not like the other classes lah... my friends class is like soooo bonded that they will sit together after pe in the canteen to drink lemon tea... like as a whole class... like wow... the day smthing like that happens to my class.... is cos our ct calls for yet another class lunch... lol... even then we wont really be sitting TOGETHER... lol... to high Ea for us to overcome... haha. anyway this time round our ct actually made some effort to talk to my lot of ppl... think that's the reason she'll most likely be calling for more class lunches - so that she can talk with a (or a few) diff grp each time, since she's not the like of person to go talking with everyone all at once.

vectors: test on it tmr... as well as a vehicle for transporting genes of interest to the required site. lol... starting the application part of the bio syllabus now (wow i didnt even know got such a diff lah) and yes we're back to all those stuff i'm famillar with... all the restriction enzymes thing and dna ligase stuff that we've been doing since... i dunnoe was it sec 1? but yeah. all the stuff we focused on in sec 3 n 4, making us look like idiots in all the previous chapters (save for mitosis and meiosis) cos we didnt learn a single thing abt the human body (as in like the organs and wat they do that kinda stuff) although its like the very basis of the o lvl syllabus... haha at last we're back onto some famillar grounds once more:)

and speaking of vectors as in the smthing with magnitude and direction thingy (which is not the actual definition of vectors really, after all, it does NOT explain why there are zero vectors:P) well we just had the last lect on it today... will be starting on complex nos. next lect... sheesh why cant they do like probability 1st? at least i've learnt that b4... :S

and yes, my printer went on strike, and now my comp is down as well. :S dunnoe wat suddenly happened. was still perfectly fine yest but today it just refused to turn on... couldnt even start it up lah... showed some error abt windows missing some dll needed for smthing... so yeah i'm using the labtop now. which isnt that bad actually, now that is. my dad went to clean up all the spyware and stuff so now its working much faster, more like a normal comp lah. last time the lag was sooo bad u had to wait like 5 mins just to change from one window to another!

naugthy me skipped cca today:P yeah, cos i really couldnt make myself stay until 4.30pm when i lesson ended at 12 and i had nothing to do after that. well at least nxt wk there'll be gp reminder so i dont have to wait for so long... so i went home to sleep instead:p and woke up to eat dinner and now i'm blogging.... lalala. heh. haven start proper studying and its 11pm le. luckily chem ass got extension till monday:P and yes i lost the chem spa notes... so can only study from the answers to all the mock spas we did... oh wells. they are all abt the same anyways.

just switched my blog to the google accounts thing... watever for:P. ks studying time!

i'm back!

yozzies! i'm back... k time for a little update from me i guess...

so i fell sick last tues... like got some superbug or rather super bacteria, haven been that ill for so long. like two and a half days of mc (cos i went to see the doctor in the afternoon) and even then i was still pretty zonked out on fri.

so yeah that was my sad story last week... and mine you i didnt get the chance to do anything with my days off either. just sleep, wake up, and sleep again.

haiz dont feel like posting anything more right now so there...
