nothing

its sad... like i wasnt born in the right time or smthing... things could have ended up better if i was born later... well i'm sure there are things that made me being born in 89 an advantage, but then there are times in which i'd really wished i was born later too...

my weiqi friend was just telling me abt how they are hold the nat ladies in sept this yr, and the top 6 will get into another round of comp to choose the top 4 to go sea games... shessh how come there wasnt any thing like dat in my time????? i didnt get the chance to go overseas at all... being shadowed by one better player (only one when do not coun the inactives)... i mean if they only chose 1 player to go sea games, heck i know i wont be the one even in the past, but 4??? like hello in all my year taking part in niu zi sai i've always gotten a prize (i.e. end up in the top 6)... like even last yr i miracously still got a proze despite my horrid showing... but no, never gotten a chance to go overseas. came chose to it once in the shuang da but no, never went overseas before.

in a sese my weiqi 'career' has been a very short lived and sad one. personally i'd say that my standard peaked like in perhaps sec2-3. then i kinda lost interest in sec 4 after being overshadowed by all the boys and knowing that there wasnt anything soley for girls except for niu zi sai, which even in sec 4 was no longer a place for me to show off cos of some china girls who came and pawned everyone. pretty much gave up after that. after all, why continue? not that i can get anything out of it really, no overseas comp chances for me or anything like that... and honestly i'd rather read a science book then a weiqi book, so why bother?

but ending my weiqi 'career' like dat is really kind of sad.... like ending it on such a low note. not a single rep country comp, not even a single champion trophy in local games.... after all these years and $ and time. wasted.

which is as much as i have gathered when i decided to stop playing. i decided not to waste anymore time and $ on smthing that would gain me nothing, and smthing that wasnt my most beloved.

weiqi still isnt my most beloved, that glory will forever belong to science, but perhaps i've started loving it a bit more then last time... or perhaps its just becos i haven played in a long while and my interest for weiqi will drop back in a while. in anycase, such new opportunities have 1) made me lament that they wont present in my time. and 2) made me ponder if i should still play after As and how active i shd stay in the weiqi scene.

one thing is clear though, if i still take part in comps actively after As, i'd be the 1st girl to do so, and if i go back for lessons after As, i'd probably be the 1st person to do so. chances are that i wont go back for lessons though... they are kinda ex and the last time i went for them i was straggling to stay awake... kinda wasting money yeah? well maybe it'd be different next time but i doubt so.

weiqi is fun, no doubt, but i wonder if other stuff would be interesting enough in uni for me to have no time for weiqi... or even forget abt it all together.

in short, i do not know wat my heart wants. i wanna study med, but will probably go into clinical research later on... but then again i wonder if i'd be able to cope... with all that knowledge abt the human body it would greatly change my outlook of things and no doubt influence my own behaviours and habits. then i look at the sci fac and i wonder what the heck courses do i want to take... in the 1st place i do not even know if i want chem or bio more... (or just get a double degree is there such a thing even???)

well no i'm not saying that i can get into med sch or even the sci fac, but hey? i dont even know what to put as my 1st choice/wat uni i shd be applying for/wat ishd be looking out for right now...!?!?!? the thing is that i still do not know what i want and time is running short. apart from studying i still have to look at wat i wanna do in the future. i shdnt have been satistfied with just knowing that i liked chem and bio last time... i shd have found out more abt the courses i wanted to take in uni, then i wouldnt be worrying now!!!

in the past i always told myself --- no med, i'd like to study it, know a hell lot abt it, but i'm not a very socialable person so i wouldnt (at least i dont think so) want to practise med. but now? clinical research is becoming hell hot and yes despite cheating myself after all these years i'd really like to study med (practising, like i said, is a diff matter). and there are many examples of ppl taking med then going into research, which is wat i really do want (at least i hope)... so med has become an avaliable choice already.

but i know that if my grades keep at wat they are now, i wont be going into med sch so lets look at science --- bio, chem, biochemistry, pharmacy????? i'm cluless. honestly. and i hope my grades would get me into sci fac cos otherwise i dont know wat else i could study... physcology maybe...? hmph. i dont even know how hard it is to get into physcology... and there are probably more components to physcology that'll give my a huge headache in deciding wat to study.

and the thing is that so far all that i have done... all that srp and attachments are geared towards research and sci fac.... i wonder how those activities of mine would help in gaining me access to med fac...

so basically my prob all lies down to: which fac is my 1st choice?

that, i really do not know.

hopefully my education life wont end up as sad as my weiqi one. hopefully.

but i guess for now i'd better go back to studying hard, but its been a nice (dunnoe how long) spent on blogging... makes me feel much better... lol... blogging therapy...

hell... i've finally gotten into the studying mode... if only i've gotten into the studying mode like at the start of the year or b4 the cts, things would probably be different now... well at least i'm now in the mode to work hard. and i'd better get started now.

Chaos Fantasy

life is meaningless without smthing to live for, and i hate the sch for taking away wat i lived for, cos they have essentialy made my life meaningless.

sch has been rather sad and pathetic these few days. like haven been gaining much... probably didnt either last time when i was sleeping through all those lects. but now that that particular day our bloody dam sch has been stressing abt is drawing nearer, it seems much more significant, and it even makes missing sch/lessons justifiable... ask the sch to blame themselves for incalculating this kinda attitude, really, they've only got themselves to blame.

i hate myself for listening to the sch.

one test a day

this week is the one test a day save for monday week.
our thurs just got filled with a chem lect test.... tsk tsk tsk... cant they tell us earlier that there was gonna be a lect test? might have studied over the weekend...

anyways my class has no h3 chem this week... dunnoe how are they gonna schedule all that small grp consultations... like didnt they say they might have to have 2 h3 sessions in a week cos otherwise they cant squeeze in all the smaller grp consultation sessions? k maybe for the rest of the weeks my class will be down twice a week or smthig... or maybe cos they dont want to schedule it this wedn since there isnt enough time to inform us and for the teachers to prepare. gah i AM worried for h3 chem ks?

thk fully its gp test tmr and there isnt much u can carm in for gp in one night. (therefor i'm not studying!) lol.

bleh, darn that stupid econs lect test on fri. dont feel like studying econs. or doing that essay qn 2 which we will be going through in class tmr.

tmr is a stupid day really. only have like econs and gp. dang.

well speaking of which today was a total waste of time for me as well. bio tut was just doing the test 9which you could've done urself at home. he didnt even bother to go through like the mcq qns with us. he's just gonna put up the answers on the web and ask us to check ourselves.... math lect was useless for me, since the guy is still slower that wat my tut teacher did in like less thatn 2 hrs... like his going ULTRA slowly.... zzz... than civics was watching movie --- angela's ashes. a nice movies i guess but smthing i could've done as well w/o. chem lect would've been useful, but i fell asleep. besides i always preferred to study on my own for chem anyways, like i'll never be able to figure out much in lect/class, apart from wat i'd already knew. most of the impt 'discoveries' were made at home/out of class.... or just on my own.

tsk tsk. wasted a day in sch like dat... didnt even do anything during the free pe block... save for reading a few pages of the tm notes. gah. waste of time. and now i've wasted abt 10 more mins typing this post... hurrah!

GAH.

arghs!

i am far from being able to retype all my h3 notes. i've come up with 7 pages of retyped notes so far and that's like less then 1/4 of a topic done. and i am running out of time.

plus i have NOT done any of the hw i stated in the post i made two days ago... nor have i studied for any of the tests....

arghs!

Saturday, July 21, 2007

wahaha

i've been spamming my blog man...

trying to rewrite/consolidate/add on to our h3 chem notes.... cos i think that our lect notes + the h3 chem booklet is really really messy... like some time the book is better but other times the notes are much more detailed.... therefore i have embarked on the near impossible task of trying to unify the notes + summarize them + add in some definitions that wasnt inside + add in more info on drugs that could possibly appear in the exam.

h3 chem ---> 6 chapters
h3 chem prelims ---> wk 10

which means that i have to do like more than 1 chapter per week to finish b4 prelims!!!

which means this is yet another impossible project that i have embarked on. sheesh someone help me pls! bleh i don want to get a u for h3 chem how?

hmm

i just realised i haven blogged abt weiqi cca farewell... really must say a big thank you to all my juniors esp sw for the farewell. yeah even though i couldnt be there during the actual farewell, thks so much guys for writing that card and bringing so much food! u guys made me feel so inadequate thinking abt how little i haf donw for the club. yeah i know i had a lot of promises, but when it came down to the actual thing, i realised that i was just sick and tired of being the weiqi spokesperson.... like after four years of it in rg, i was just kinda sick of it all... no cip, no activities, no placing in lanke. sorry i didnt do better.

on a totally different note, mich my darling girl has just turned 18 on 18th of july! (a fact which she kept reminding us... :P ) went to sakea sushi for lunch, its was rather enjoyable lah haha mich was like sooooo excited by how they have this hot water tap thingy right beside the table which is in a sense so damn cheapskate cos they waiters dont need to serve you anymore.... lol... anyways we had fun yeah.... oh and after that saw this musical fountain thingy that incorporated music + lights to give an ultra nice effect. really liked that one.... like never knew that fountain existed lah:P its damn cool, next time i will visit that fountain again, plus i loved the music too:)

hmm... had econs case study test early in the morn when i was still half asleep and couldnt think of anything to write. then was pe in which we went to ultra late cos of the cs test. then the teacher was damn pissed cos we were late and decided the cancel pe in the end as a punishment (like wat kinda punishment is this? i say thank you very very much for cancelling pe man!) but lol mich was so enthu that in the end we went to play bball by ourselves in the bball court (er where else do u play bball?) haha. then was wonderful wonderful gp, where we completed THREE WHOLE COMPRE QNS. yes. in 1 hr. wat an accomplishment! and by that, i mean as a class we went through 3 qns. like we didnt even do the aq lah. k she wants us to go home and do some research (wat?) and do the aq in class on fri (so that's three lesson to do a 6 qn long compre, w/o summary)... i mean like, i cant help but feel worried that we are way tooooo slack for gp. if we dont want to go through phlio info pack/module since chances are we wont write phlio essay qns its perfectly fine with me but cant we be a bit more productive? and its not that i dont enjoy the movies we watched, but still i cant help worrying abt my a lvl grade cos my eng isnt very fantastic yeah?

sighz.

yawn

zzzzz.

did some teeny weenie bit of math tut s5 today, then attempeted to do chem tut only to realise that i cant do just abt every qn. gah... :(

did some research on genetic modification and the human genome project for gp on sun as well... before i side tracked and went to download like 7 new songs... whoohoo! plus the 6 new songs my sis downloaded, that makes 13 new songs for me today yay! well not that i liked all of them, but there were quite a few which i really enjoy... shall list them here:

Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson
Never Again by Kelly Claskson
Icebox by Omarion
Last Night by P. Diddy and somebody else
Bleed it Out by Linkin Park

B is for Bio

slacked at home today... (or rather yest?)

anyway the cts wasnt that bad... although my econs grade dropped:( and i could have done better for chem. was looking through bio papers on mon night and i realised that i read one of the qn wrongly and like lost 1m for nothing... and then me the spelling idiot spelled vaculeo or smthing like that... and that's another 1m gone... and if only i'd paid more attention to plant cloning at least i shd have gotten the definition of explants correct:( {and get an a}

arhs well anyways this time bio paper was easy, esp cos they didnt test all the topics that i CANNOT do eg. all that dna replication and prokaryotic and eukaryotic genome stuff.... and yes i didnt pay enough attention to details and lost a few marks in the mcq too:(

chem was a major disaster though. phy chem all die, inorg chem also die. mcq was really bad too... (though surprisingly my friends who got overall higher then me did worst for mcq!) well i guess that just means i shd practise A LOT more electrochem and ionic/chem eqm qns. hmph

maths was surprising... but honestly i only scrapped thr thks to stats. still i made the stupid mistake of not writing donw 'in on week' when defining one of my random variables - 1m gone. and i certainly COULD have done that probability qn, esp the sum to infinity part which i could have gotten correct if only i was more careful and remember that after the 1st person gets a 6, the other person will still get a throw.... arghs that's like quite a few marks gone for nothing:(. and of cos i'm not going to comment on the rest of the qns.... gah.

hthree chem

man i love reading nmr's... haha well i guess its becos the ones they are giving us are rather simple else i would probably have died of a terrible headache le.

well anyways i havent finish the entire h3 tut... only part one:S :X haiz.

gah... dont feel very well still... like my stomach feels very gassy and dunnoe wat...

a new song i like:


Title: Famous Last Words
Artist: My Chemical Romance

Now I know,
That I can't make you stay.
But where's your heart?
But where's your heart?
But where's your,

And I know.
There's nothing I can say
.To change that part.
To change that part.
To change.

So many,
Bright lights to cast a shadow,
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding?
I'm incomplete.
A life that's so demanding,
I get so weak.
A love that's so demanding,
I can't speak.

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

Can you see?
My eyes are shining bright,
'Cause I'm out here, on the other side,
Of a jet black hotel mirror,
And I'm so weak.
Is it hard understanding?
I'm incomplete.
A love that's so demanding, I
get weak.

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

These bright lights have always blinded me.
These bright lights have always blinded me.

I said.

Honey, I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I'd never speak,
Awake, and unafraid.
Asleep, or dead.

'Cause I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I'd never speak,
Awake, and unafraid.
Asleep, or dead.

'Cause I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I'd never speak,
Awake, and unafraid.
Asleep, or dead.'

Cause I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I'd never speak,
Awake, and unafraid.
Asleep, or dead...

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone(or dead)
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home(Or dead)

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone(Or dead)
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.(Or dead)

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone(Or dead)
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

i guess this song is condered kinda emo? not that i know wat emo actually refers to lol... hmm just like this song... like fell in love with it today... lol... i tend to like songs with this kinda style... with the music so powerful and raw it makes ur nerves stand on an end. i also like songs with nice lyrics + music... hmm yeah. but generally if a song portrays a like of dark and dangerous mood and isnt too slow paced and doesnt have really horrid lyrics i would like it... like thks for the memories and welcome to the black parade that kinda songs... remeber the name is nice too, but i dont really like the rapping part as much as i like the music... oh yeah i dont really like raps too... i go more for music.

hmm i'm kinda in a dark mood right now... as you might hear...

*edit*: the song is now permanently on my blog (on the sidebar)! until i change my mood that it......

well i dont like the music video, finally found a place where i can just put the song onto my blog:)

dang

i cant believe the chem paper was that hard. well basically i flunked again and i flunked it much worst then i thought... like ten marks worst, well maybe that isnt too much... if you just add in careless mistakes and stuff you probably lose ten marks already... but hey i thought i could get 5-10% better then wat i got:( like qns i thought i got correct were well... i really need to practice a lot more phy chem qns... and yes mcq. flunked mcq lah. we will probably get back math tmr. sh!t.

Wednesday, July 04, 2007

bleh

i'm starting to get drowsy... even though its like less then half an hour since i took that medicine.... hmphs.

gd thing abt it is that i managed to get seven days off pe which means that i no need to take pe next week... yay!

good day, bad day

thks goodness we didnt get back chem paper today... but then i'm quite sure we'll get it back on friday.. :S friday the doomsday. thk god they postponed h3 chem test to next week...

heh today was quite happy after bio cos i didnt flunk my mcq so at least i have a very remote chance of getting a b... though like i said i think its very remote. nah said we'll get back the rest by mon... eeks.

well anyways i was quite gald they didnt destroy my temporary sense of bliss by giving back the chem paper/math paper during lects... phew... temporary relief. sighz.

its youth day!

wahahaha last youth day hols i'm gonna enjoy i guess, i'd better make gd use of it to mug for h3... spectoryscopy and analitical techniques... i think i shd mug for the other topics for h3 that we have learnt so far too... i really really need to put in a lot of work in drugs and reaction mechanisms else i'm gonna get a u man....

hmm last year for sch... last year of using student pass... guess that will affect me the most cos thks to my hse being 5mins away fromt he mrt station, mrt is like the only public transport i take... and mrt fares are kinda ex for edults:X, i think. i think its more ex than buses but well i'm not too sure with all the fare hikes and so on... since unlike mrt where they display the fare needed to travel to each station there aint such a thing for buses so i really have no idea how much a bus ride cost...

hmphs. wish me luck for h3, will ya?
