arhs

been meaning to blog abt events for a long time... events that happened like last week... lol

yeah wells, not very meaningful to talk abt stuff that happened a week ago but still i guess its pretty amusing. yeah, fell sick last tues, like after doing the 5 items for pft. quite amazingly passed:P barely but hey its still a passs k? but fell sick with fever like right after that, or maybe it was before, cos i already had like diarrhea in the morn. went home when it was drizzling, but as i walked from sch to j8 the rain just bog bigger and bigger and honesty i never got more soaked in my entire life (well stuff like swimming/bathing aint counted ks?). shoes all wet (well that happened before) but having my bag and skirt dripping wet (and i was carrying an umbrella!) is an absolute 1st... so didnt feel like going to sch on wedn and i was definatly not gonna do 2.4 the next day... so went of a polyclinic soley for the sake of the mc... only like took the medicine twice lah... and yeah, i spent like 1hr +++ baking my ws with a hair dyer. my brand new foolscape pad got totally ruined though. the whole book is so uneven now i can only use it for rough working cos its real hard to write on it... :S

last fri was mock spa... pretty crappy really, like nonbody bothered to carry out the experiment... only a few attempted at the end when they had the time.... and no i didnt even study for the spa at all lah:p and yes i still got 10mins +++ left.... wasted my time by playing with the indicators, and i was making this deep pink ribena/red wine juice from phenothalien... and yeah basically i was wasting all their indicator solutions:P too bad my lab partner wasnt there... missed the entertainment...

mon had math complex nos. test, which was an absolute disaster. i'll be grateful if i can even get 3 marks.
had cchess exco interviews till quite late yest, but i'd say the time spent was worth the while. weiqi exco interviews tmr... prett of trouble with chosing the new exco... sighz. i'll leave it at that for now. ihc next week, totally unprepared, and i just realised it clashes with my bio mock spa... like wow! and the ihc is next mon mind you........ yay....! haven borrowed more sets yet.... lol basically it feels like the ihc she be next next mon, not next mon. we're just not prepared for it.... and of cos i wonder how the turn up will be like.... -.-'''

knowledge binds.

the mask

do you guys ever feel like things are just getting more and more superficial these days? like everyone is just wearing a mask and pretending to be who their absolutely not?

here's a random drawing of mine... just got really sick of doing work, sch, the teachers, the sub, the education syste.... bleh watever... drew it on recycled paper plus my scanner too gd so yeah u can see the 'colored' background that's actually wat's printed on the other side of the paper... ks watever...

i'm getting quite fed up... just cant find my bluetooth device, so i cant download the million and 1 photos in my hp to the com... and my phone is gonna run outta space soon... sheesh.....

knowledge binds.

time trappings

oh how time flies!
its so easy to waste time, lying on your bed trying to fall asleep, reading books, day dreaming... if only it were as easy to make time...

what's up this wk

fri: lib books due, h3 chem test

last wk's cts wa a bomb... did i mention it b4? yeah a big blast really, prepared to go for chem focus, stay in math remedial... nothing else lah... since econs and bio never had any remedial... otherwise my whole week will be full of remedials. lol.

...

so cts are over, those counted for me are at least... huge atomic bomb just lannded yeah... died over and over again during every sub... and gonna die again for gp tmr... sighz. not a pretty sight.

skool

had cip on last sat, it was professionally organised, to say the least. most kids were coorperative lah, thought some started throwing tandrums at the end. overall i'd still say it was a great day.

trying to paste stuff all over my rm now... stuff as in things to remember for exams... but then i was printing halfway yest when my stupid printer ran out of ink AND refused to print ANYTHING! i'm not gonna complain abt how fast the ink ran out though, because in actual fact i did print out a lot of stuff already... like more then 150 pages for ssef alone, plus all that bio and gp stuff that came thought yahoo grps.... (or the email for bio, since i'm the one who put them up on yahoo grps!) . haiz.

ct schedule:
Mon: econs
Tues: bio
Wedn: maths
Thurs: chem

for once our subs end earlier then the physics students, but then again we'd have lesser time to study. there's always a trade off i guess...

no more slacking!

k ssef is over, thks to my troopers for coming down! really appreciated it! hope u guys had fun viewing the exhibits too, and riding that segway or watever thing that wx rode until she bang into the wall... lol:P

oh wells, sadly my attachment at ibn couldnt end on a higher note, but in a sense i'm quite gald its all over, really time to catch up on all the work i have been missing last week and this week. missed quite a bunch of lessons this few days... bleh:S

anyways we got back h3 chem test today... didnt pass lah... wasnt expecting to at all, considering that i didnt have much time to study and that i really was NOT paying ANY attention to h3 last yr, i was really surprised by my marks... didnt at a single digit score and was still rather near the passing mark... and the teacher wrote this comment saying 'keep going on' beside my script... quite a nice encouragement really. not that my marks was anything to be pround of, but after them starting the lecture by saying how ppl shd consider quiting h3 if they cant catch up, i was kinda considering whether i'd be able a get even a merit in a lvls. k so maybe there's still hope. hopefully... mah, it was really quite a bunch of shock looking at the h3 chem paper tt day lah... but as i read on i realised there were some parts so absolutly copied from our lect notes, and some parts that i could have answered based on my sec 4 options knowledge alone, guess that's the reason y i didnt completely flunk... cos i really couldnt remember all the mechanism stuff AT ALL:(:S, mah i have a lot of revising to do for org chem this coming common test:S

class cip tmr... so sorrieh mich but i really must leave early, anyway u can switch the stn masters around or smthing?

this week has been a real busy week, trying to get my poster done and rushing my sch work.. surprisingly i managed to finish all my work w/o TOO much delay... surprise surprise....

mentor sent back comments for poster, not done with the changes yet. :S guess i'm kinda slow...

borrowed the sch blazer yest, was surprised yet another time when they actually had my skirt size... the counciller was like 'wat's ur skirt size' and i'm like 'erm wat's the biggest size u have?'... fat fat me... and yeah amazingly their biggest size is actually my size... i was expecting it to be smaller... so yes, gald that's settled.

not confident abt the presentation part for ssef. haven even started yet. wow.

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...
