Exams over!

didnt do well for today's paper at all, the rxns i studied didnt come out, and i cant remember properly those that came out so yeah...

oh wells.... over is over... i dont want to dwell on such sad things.

blogskin editing in progress hohoho!

Last paper tmr!!!!!!!!!

Aft 4pm tmr i will be FREE! wahahahahaha! last paper from 1-3.30pm. 10 qns choose 9 leh! the longest paper thus far, NO MCQs!!!! a lot of things to remember also lah! need to remember all the biochemical pathways, the structure, the enzyme name or accroymes etc etc! the hardest paper to study for... hey i started studying last night already okays, one whole day more compared to the other papers liao loh. the res ti start studying the night before only (and really late at night)

okies. back to studying le

last and worst paper yet to come

today's paper was ok on the average. it not that i dont know how to do the qns, but rather, cos even tho its just 50 mcqs, like i guessed, there can be multiple choices per qn. if you miss out a correct choice, or shaded an extra choice, no marks. that's what worries me as i'm not sure if i missed out any right choices :S

oh wells. not much i can do abt it now... i did the paper quite fast actually. like 1h30mins finish checking all the qns. didnt make much changes after that, but i still stayed the full 2.5hours of the paper... just didnt want to leave early, even tho bu thte end of the paper, less than 25% of the ppl from my course was left. LOL. everyone cant tahan the waiting time liaos. all chao liao. this is my best sub! so i really hope i did well! was so bored that in the end i was drawing on my graphic calculator. haiz.

at the beginning it was quite ez. i was taking abt 1 min per qn. was at qn 15++ or 20++ i cant remember, there was this qn abt calculating how much the dna would weigh. i was having a bit of a mental block, kinda stuck there, then the lecturer (also took my tut grp, and his our only lecturer for the course, all the qns set by him) walk over to my row. he recognises me (and i liked his tuts) cos his tuts are more of a discussion kind and since nobody spoke up in his class, i started speaking up and answering his qns, soon he was calling me up to the baord to draw stuff... of cos another of my friend (sitting at the other side of the class) joined in regularly later on, which was great cos i NVR EVER did any of my tuts before hand. normally i just read thru the lect notes before the tut and look at the qns. (yet i can still answer his qns during tut! tho not always). so its great to have someone else for him to stare at and extract the ans out from LOL. anyways, the point here is that he recognises me, and would most likely assume that i shd do well in the paper. so anyways i was stuck at the stupd math problem (which i later sloved) and any pressing and whacking nos. on my graphic calculator. and he walks over, looks down at me (the table is short, n he is a tall ang moh guy, and i'm not tall either) and stared for a while, then said, is it that hard? (or smthing like that) and then walked off. i was like thinking... wat the.... wat's that supposed to mean? hey i'll figure this qn out later on okies! its just that i'm having a bit of mental block. and then i looked at my watch. its was just ard 20mins into the paper? i did the qns at like 1min per qn only! that's still not fast enough for you??? somemore its a 2.5hour paper for 50mcq qns... what's the rush? LOL i really have no idea what his comment was supposed to mean :X... lol... oh wells... and that was my interesting encounter for the day. hahas... nothing much else to report le. tata!

haiz

today's paper was quite hard. got one part of the qn i dunnoe how do at all. 6marks gone!!!!!!!!!!!! then another whole qn i think i get zero marks liao le. total 18 marks fly liao. then some mcqs were super hard n i dunnoe a no. of them.... all i can hope is that a lot of ppl found the paper hard too and so marks would be moderated up. but i think the paper was harder, since there were much few ppl leaving early this time. in fact i didnt notice anyone leaving till quite late into the paper. like much much later compared to the previous papers.

i really have no idea how wedn papers will be... 2.5hours paper, mcqs exclusively. he didnt tell us got how many qns, niether did he say if its the you can choose more than 1 ans type. today's paper the mcq test super a lot of nitty gritty details that i didnt (as did many ppl) bother to remember. i have absolutely no idea how wedn's paper will be like, cos that sub also dont have so much nitty gritty details to test in the 1st place. and the lecturer said that this yr's paper will be harder than the previous years!!!!! so how is he gonna make it hard is really smthing that i cant figure out. the good thing is that that sub has much less stuff to memorise. most of it is concept based and during the tuts and such i didnt find the concepts hard to understand. really hope that i can do better on wedn. i believe i cant even get an A for today's paper liao... and i was hoping to get all As... haiz. and then my parents are gonna scold me for not studying again. but then i didnt have any motivation to study lehs! NONE. sit in front of comp do nothing. stare at lt notes blanky. force myself off maple then i go play smthing else... so sian lah. at least i still studied more in rg even tho i played super a lot too. haiz. i really hope my gpa this time is good okies. last sem my gpa missed the 1st class honors scored by like 0.1 or less. although you stil need to get an A in the fyp to get 1st class honors, but there's the gpa requirement too... arghs... totally screwed up BIG time today! and my jap wasnt that good too... ARGHS i didnt do well for econs last sem also! dammit all my electives are screwing up my gpa! and i didnt do perfect for my core modules too so my gpa is so screwed!!!!! granted i believe its still much better than a lot of ppl but that's their problem, i have my own standard (yet i dont work to get there, how ironic) ARGHS i suck :(

luckily wedn's sub only had 10 lectures, and all the tuts are written on the back of the lect notes, much lesser things to study but argh the greatest headache comes with 106. biochem which has quite some phy part in the beginning, at least enough to remind me of how my 102 was like th worst sub out of eveything last sem (and the beginning of 106 is quite like 102) and then at the back there's so many chemical formulas, eqns, pathways, enzyme names to remember i dont think i'll be able to finish remember them all. arghs... i think 107 shd be my best paper this sem, if i dont do well on wedn i'm dead!

2nd round!

2nd round of exams starting tmr...! yet i still slacked the whole wkend... aft go jc i cant find the mood to study liaos... last sem quite lucky, gpa can consider quite gd (but not gd enough to me) but then this sem dunnoe if so lucky or not... and yet i still slack so much... someone motivate me to study pls :(
but then.. somehow bio comes rather naturally to me, as long as there's not too much details or chem in it. but of cos i'm only in yr 1, i believe things shd get much harder later on. i hope it would actually. else what's the point of going uni right? its to challenge urself de mah. okies. go study liaos

will change the blog skin of this blog n my maple blog when aft exams, i promise XD

to all my maple friends reading this blog, can go here and take a look if you wish ^^

2 down, 3 to go

2 papers down, next one on monday.

jap was rather hard, i keep mixing up my hiragana n katakana.... plus i didnt really go study all the name esp the katakana names... so i have no idea how well i'll do. esp since 30% of it is on the orals and normal time work, and i didnt do very well in normal time work...

108 felt better than jap. at the bulk of the mcqs were easy.... not sure how well i'll do either once again.

109 and 107 coming up next. 107 is all mcqs sia... cool! no need study much liaos? wonder how many mcqs there will be... 2.5hours paper somemore leh! i bet a lot of ppl will leave aft super early once they finish. the jap and 108 paper quite a lot of ppl leave early lah. esp the jap paper. the guy sitting on my right finished like in 1 hour or less... then he sat ard for a while, flipping thru the paper then finally decided to leave. wah! so fast lah! i was still struggling to remember how to wat all the letters! sighzzzzzzzzzz

exam time again

jap exam tmr and 108 on wedn.

parents back from china liao, ma bought a STACK of bag from china, seriously, so many bags that its enough to form a pile/stack... bought this li ning back pack which i really like - its small lah, not for bringing to sch on days when u have a lot of lessons, but it looks super nice :D can br when go shopping etc.

yest i was standing ard in my sis room and watching antm on her laptop with her when suddenly i felt some strange thing underneath my big toe... i was half stepping on the ladder of her double deck bed and kept moving my other feet ard when i suddenly felt this weird feeling thing... i looked down to see myself stepping on an overturned croachroach ... i was kinda shock to see a croachroach in the room, puzzled as to my it was OVERTURNED tho. the croachroach was like half alive, wriggling abt and missing half a leg. somehow after this 69kg giant half stepped on it, its not dead yet... i guess i didnt put my entire weight onto that foot bah, cos once i felt that weird thing i looked down and jump away. my sis was laughing so hard throughout the whole incident and while disposing the half dead roach that her whole face turn RED. like really RED.

hope that was the roach the fell on my hands from the door of the bathroom the other night, cos i didnt kill THAT roach... else it'll mean there are more roaches in da hse :S hey come on, our house is clean ok! we dont have crumbs lying all over or anything like dat! i vacumed the floor! strange... i hardly see roaches in the house and last week i saw 2 already. gah. time to study 108...

had orals today, was uper nervous, but i finished quite fast and didnt had to ask her to repeat. my friends say 3mins done. thing is that... i think i made some sentence structure mistakes :S and then she ask me for the date of the day aft tmr and i was stuck for a while on how to say the 10th of the month..... :S

no more sch this sem. next week exams start already. jap 1st followed by 108. yucks

here's the korroke yinster cooked yesterday. mash potatoe with minced pork and chopped onions and bread crumbs on top, then deep fried.

jap listening today was hard. they read super fast and trick ppl somemore. like got a qn ask where that person go on sunday. that person said out of list of things, only to say that its wrong and that was wat she did on sat... and sunday she did smthing else! super tricky ok! and only say once OMG! then alll the large large numbers i couldnt catch lah... i'll be lucky to get 50% for this listening man.... orals tmr... wah....

okies, time to do lab reports...............

TIRED

oh man i'm so tired today. cooked dinner with my sis just now and she just had to try out this dish that took us super long to make. zzzzzzzzz

jap listening tmr.... sighz. need go study. and the set of 109 lab reports are due on thurs, but since i'm not going back to sch on thurs, i'll have to hand them in on wedn and i got jap orals on wedn too. whee....

kk, time to go wash the dishes and keep the left overs in the fridge... and then go hang up the clothers then go start the car so that the battery wont run out.....

ya i know my blog super ugly n in need of a facelift. but i'm lazy to make one... maybe i shall hunt for a chem/bio theme one next time... i'm sure someone would have made a bio/chem themed blogskin somewhere right?

sighz. so many of my friends are overseas, and so many blogs (in the sidelink) abandoned or close...

today's lab was super simple and super short. we wasted a lot of time tho else cld have finished in less than the 1.5hours we took. identify the diff stages of mitosis of teh onion root tip.... -.- same slide as the one i saw in rg. lol. the looking at yeast mutants - that was more interesting. and i actually had a bit of trouble focusing the microscope (1st time ever!) cos there was so many bubbles (didnt put coverslide properly :S) and quite a lot of dust on the slide/microscope/ i dunnoe wat. but still, i managed to see the cells very nicely. ha, i pride myself in being able to use the microscope well ks :)

abt time to slp...

happiness!

lalala. here comes the procrasinator (spelling?).
super happy today, thanks linddy :)

on another note, exams are coming yet again, and ma is gng china for a short holiday with my dad so i'll have to wash the clothes irons the clothes, make breakfast lunch dinner for my sis n myself starting friday! FRIDAY! so fast sia. i haven even learn to use the washing machine yet -.-
yah, i'm not a very helpful person in the house i know. normally my job scope is just wash the dishes aft dinner and sometimes help vacumn (after ma yell at me 10 times) the living room/other rooms besides my own.

japanese oral n listening next week! so fast sia! a bit scary leh... the oral will be RECORDED somemore!!!!!!! for wat reasons i have no idea...
also our 107 lecturer just told us that the exams for that sub will consist of MCQs ONLY, EXCLUSIVELY. i dunnoe whether to jump for joy or be scared. he say it'll be harder than the previous years somemore. MCQs means no need to memorise anything. just have the concept enough le, BUT MCQs means its gonna be super tricky, and i'm quite careless at times... :S

apart from that nothing much happening in RL. lots of stuff in the virtual world but i've decided to keep this blog out of those...

RAWRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ntu open house

went out with my darling junior to ntu open hse yest. me, yin, sw and her friend, showed them ard ntu library, the food court, ard my sch lobby, the classrooms... at 1st wanted to go nus with her today and meet with wanling too, but after yesterday i was so tired... :P shall print out all my lect notes nicely and not wait till the lsat min like usual.

exams on the 14,15,20,22,28 or april (or smthing like that) 1 month left only omg! time flies too fast, esp when u are having fun and slacking ard. its like the term time is way too short! this time cant afford to study an average of 2 hours for each sub anymore. stuff like metabolism got quite some bit to remember. have to remember all the reactants and enzymes for stuff like calvins cycle and so on, and a lot of formulas too. bleh. cant slack so much already...

pa gng china for his work stuff on 22nd march i think? and ma will join him for 1 week at the end too. not sure what time she gng (or rather, i forgot) but they coming back on the 12th or 13th, like JUST before my exams :P

poor yin tho, she need to wake up EARLY for sch. luckily she found out that she can wake up with her hp, else... i dunnoe... hey i'm NOT gnna wake up at 5+ to wake her up! :P so bad rite...?

oh wells, that's all i have to say. for now.

long time no see!

OMG! just realised my last entry was LAST year! Gosh! didnt realise i've been neglecting my blog for so long!

sch timetable n results still not out et... grrrrr.... its getting me on the edge not knowing how well (or badly) i've done...

new favourite song of mine. found it when browsing videos on you tube.

"Everytime We Touch"
Artist: Cascada

I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.

troop outing again!

lol, i meant to blog abt it right after we go out, but as usual i forgot. -.-'''

so the troopers went out last thursday, me ash sandra mich n joy to suntec swensens for dinner :) it was really fun catching up and gossiping on ms nair's bf LOL then we went to sit ard the fountain of weath n watch the laser lights display with loud loud music n ppl walking ard the fountains in the middle (after the laser light display ended) for *weath*. lol ash says it looks like some cult activity LOL. suntec city cult! with people walking ard the fountain religously. the laser light display i found it rather normal, but i like the ending part where they light up the whole fountain in pink/blue/watever colour u have, and there's lights on the floor showing yellow. i thought that effect was great, too bad i forgot to br my cam. took a picture with my hp though.

maybe i shd make a seperate blog for putting all the random pictures i took. next time i guess, and if i have enough pics. ;)

Pictures of You
by The Last Goodnight
Album: Poison Kiss

This is the clock up on the wall
This is the story of us all
This is the first sound of a newborn child,
Before he starts to crawl

This is the war that’s never won
This is a soldier and his gun
This is the mother waiting by the phone,
Praying for her son


(Chorus)
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be


There is a drug that cures it all
Blocked by the governmental wall
We are the scientists inside the lab,
Just waiting for the call


This earthquake weather has got me shaking inside
I'm high up and dry


Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be


Confess to me, every secret moment
Every stolen promise you believed
Confess to me, all that lies between us
All that lies between you and me


We are the boxers in the ring
We are the bells that never sing
There is a title we can't win no matter
How hard we might swing


Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be


Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we could have been






Shadow Of The Day
By Linkin Park

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way


[Chorus]
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
[End Chorus]



In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way
[Chorus]

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you



And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
[End Chorus]



Both songs are rather slow, which is kinda contary to what usually go for. well pictures of you is not that slow lah, but shadow of the day is a really really slow song, and soft at the beginning too. esp slow n soft at the beginning. i downloaded the song long ago but never got past the 1st 20 seconds of the song. it was only the other day they were playing it in sch i think (playing the the canteen, got no choice cant change song) that i actually listened to the entire song. went back home and randomly played some songs when i was bored and kinda forced myself to listen to the entire song, and surprisingly realised that the music got louder and kinda darker as the time passed. pictures of you is the song that is currently stuck in my head and refusing to leave tho. chanced upon it while randomly playing all the songs in my comp. my sis downloaded it but i never listened to the song before till abt a week ago. lol. both songs are like uber outdated now i bet, but who cares? i dont like listening to the radio for new songs, ever since that time i spent like 2-3 hours listening for any songs that sounds nice and didnt find ANY. lol.

(i shd paragraph all my text better, makes things easier to read doesnt it?)

speaking of songs, some CDs they are advertising for on TV has some nice songs i know, esp this CD with all the oldies (the one with carpenters on top of the world). next time i go to the bookshop i gotta checkout the song titles on the CD. also, anyone knows what's the music for the Central (the shopping center) advert? i like that song/music! lol. hmm shd go google it, i'm sure someone would have asked it somehwere...

ok, i shd sleep soon. the cough syrup i took is making me drowzy.

troop outing to ikea!

yupz the troops finally met up today! been soooo long since i last seen mich, and soooo long since we last meet up 2gether. the last troop meeting was during wx's farewell... really long long ago sia...

went ikea... cos mich got craving for chocolate moose at ikea! haha, we all ate chocolate moose but ikea's cheese cake is good too... that's for next time haha. sadly mich got lect after that :( bloody lect literally and figuratively. lol. then sandra needed to get some halloween custume stuff, so went (me ash n sandra) trooped down to far east to look for halloween outfits! wahaha! the shoppping part was blah tho... not many shops + not much choices + way over priced. like this cheap cardboard hat is like wat... 15 bucks and this piece of pvc vest going for 12bucks??? daylight robbery sia. somemore the quality sux i bet i can make smthing much better at half to cost -.-|||

nice long weekend ahead. but exams are looming. the term here is too short... 12 weeks of lect/tuts... total of 17 weeks per term including term break. wow. rest of the time? slack during hols. hmm.
