Washed Away

Old Things must make way for new things.

Well, not exactly.

Changes are implemented because the old memories remind you.

rediscover; a whole new world.

2008-09-30T20:04:00.002+08:00

Things have to halt. Things have to stop.

It's not too late.

To die like never before.

To say the least,
It's not enough.

Lead me to a rock that is higher than I

2008-07-26T23:50:00.005+08:00

Once again, it's time to follow the footsteps of the past.

Step one, Step two.

It's late considering the timing. But the worth is still there.

What's a battle without each fighter giving his all?

Step three, Step four.

Vagaries of Life.

Everything is relative. But sometimes relativity doesn't exist.

Choices are indeed crucial though.

With a secret element, perhaps we are now good to go.

~~Step Five~~
To infinity.. and beyond.

Hey, Hey, all the way.

Let it play.

2008-07-20T23:26:00.002+08:00

So much thoughts over the past few days..

Tomorrow, however is a start of another week.

A brand new week.

A brand new conviction.

Potential. Fullness, all in all.

Light of the World.

For the strength to be strong

For the will to carry on

2008-07-13T23:10:00.002+08:00

Decisions needs wisdoms.

2008-07-10T22:38:00.002+08:00

Reflections. Reflections again.

It is that time of the term yet again.

However, just where did i go wrong this time?

Does effort equates to results?

The answer is apparent. Even Work Done is subjected to energy loss to surroundings.

Despair Despair. Oh the letter D word.

Despair is dervied from dismay, which itself is dervied from disapointment.

Possibly, disappoinment is an understatement.

Hope, what is hope?

Perhaps the question in contemplation should be: Fear, what drives it?

Is it failure? Is it embarrassment?

One thing for sure, every fear breeds the longing for hope.

Perhaps the answer has been obvious all along.

Faith. Maybe the answer is faith.

But it's existence is hard to comprehend.

Unbelieve. Unreal. Unconvinced.

However once found, although unseen to the naked eye, thou art presence bring about thy calmness.

More certainly now,

Faith breeds Hope, Hope breeds Strength.

So, Hold your head up high.

You pick yourself up from where you fall.

To each his own.

2008-07-08T23:40:00.002+08:00

I'm pleased that people like my new blog skin. This vindicates my decision to choose a white-based background instead of my usual black.

Too many mistakes. Too many errors. Simple too careless.

Back to Basics.

2008-07-07T22:21:00.004+08:00

It's back to the early morning waking up procedure for school again tomorrow.

It's going to take some time adjusting once gain.

This week seemed to be like a whirlwind. Everything happened unbelievely fast.

Rachel's has departed for Melbourne already and in everyone's hearts, we would, whether conciously or unconciously, miss her presence, her smile and her laughter.

Although it saddens to the heart to see another close friend depart for greener pastures, we can always be comforted that she will be home soon.

In times like this, it renews my appreciation for our batch even greater. I'm really proud of you guys. Let us never take this friendship for granted.

Sometimes we just don't know how blessed we are.

On a lighter note, Happy Youth Day!

2008-07-06T00:32:00.003+08:00

A few years back, i vaguely remembered that i posted this quote up on my blog.

Agent Smith:

Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you do it? Why? Why get up? Why keep fighting?
Do you believe you're fighting for something?
Something more than your survival?
Can you tell me what it is?
Do you even know?
Is it freedom or truth? Perhaps peace?
Could it be for love?
Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence without meaning or purpose. And all as artificial as the Matrix itself, although, only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love.
You must be able to see it Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. There's no point in fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?

Neo: Because I choose to.

It's perhaps one of the most inspirational & entralling quotes ever.

However now, this has to top it off.

But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

This quote alone confirms the lack of knowledge and depth of my command of english.

What a way to pick up more english vocabs!

V for Vendetta was an awesome movie to watch. I don't really know how to describe it but it reminded me of my GP paper where it was about how people nowadays do not desire to stand out to make their ideas known. Comformity is more the way of life. Although the plot was in a negative light of killing people to over throw the government for personal revenge, it showed the inner strength and the desire of the persona to carry out his thinking instead of a follower.

One of the best shows i watched, despite the fact this movie was released 3 years earlier.

Simply fantastic.

2008-06-29T19:23:00.003+08:00

Euro Finals tonight and i can't watch.

Three quarters of the world is going to catch it and some person had to purposely put not one but two papers tomorrow.

If i do i'm going to be a dead man walking tomorrow which is not a wise thing to do considering i have two 3hrs papers tomorrow.

Obviously whoever did up the timetable isn't a soccer fan.

In any case, I have no idea how i'm going to survive tomorrow.

Mercy is what i need.

2 More Days

2008-06-22T21:25:00.002+08:00

Hold on if you feel like letting go

Hold on it gets better than you know

Don't stop looking, you're one step closer

Don't stop searching, it's not over

Hold on

I know i'm really lag to post this as pre-univeristy seminar ended more than a week ago.

I had great fun with my group people. Thanks to the Lord for giving me a cohesive and interactive group to managed. We did really well. Winning Digital Chase, which meant we won a present. However in the midst of basking in the glory, we somehow forgot to take a photo with the prize. Wasted.

My Cluster group of leaders were awesome too. We really had fun getting to know each other better. We had a blast without a doubt. Glad they nothing major sprung up but i believed everyone improved their leadership ablilty by leaps and bounds.

I had to just comment how irritating it is to get to the hostel itself from the canteen due to the numerous staircases. The desginers decided that beauty was better than practicality so instead of building a stairs straight up, they decided to do a little detour.

Hence...

and finally

I'll let the rest of the pictures do the talking (:

Well done guys!

Soccer champions yet again. Kudos to VJ for an undying spirit in an attempt to equalise.

Meridian, yes we will be... THE BEST!

2008-05-20T22:24:00.000+08:00

I'll be a lighthouse. Shining Above.

School ended today more exciting than usual.

Reason: Soccer boys semi-finals

I told my friend to sms me the updates from the stadium.

Match started at 3.

3.25pm: Maths Lecture.

No one was paying attention. At least not me and my friends cause all of them was waiting for smses to come in.

3.56pm SA scores.

All of us was like damn.

And then i didn't receive anymore sms. We were like why MJ can't score? We were like couting how many more minutes till regulation time had ended.

We were consoling ourselves that making the semi was already good enough when another sms came in during econs makeup lesson which was totally unexpected.

4.49: MJ2-2 SA

I shouted put in class i think super loud. and everyone in class was like WOAH! My econs teacher was like what's the score? The least person you expected to get excited over this matter is the teacher but yep she did. So everyone started talking soccer again for the next 5 minutes. aha.

So the whole class pressure me to call someone at Jalan Besar after lesson ended so i called cheuk and he told me penalty shootout.

I called him back later and i asked him NOT to put down the phone and some others in my class was following me like a 'live feed' along the corridor. Apparantly everyone was doing the same thing as well. Funny.

So in the end we won in the shootout and we are off to the FINALS! (:

2008-05-08T21:46:00.002+08:00

Sometimes you wonder whether every decision you made is right.

Sometimes you wonder whether you could have taken a different approach.

Sometimes you even wonder whether you should have followed your head instead of your heart or vice versa.

But maybe the biggest mistake occured because you looked back.

Doubts. One detested word/emotion.

Sometimes, perhaps, you just got to believe. Whatever the cause maybe.

2008-05-04T22:29:00.006+08:00

The past week has been quite an eventful one. For the later part of the week at least.

The 6th House Comm officially came to office on Wednessday which effectively ended our tenture. The new house comm memebers from all the houses looks to have much potential. Hopefully each of them would bring their respectively houses to the usual cliche saying: ' soar to greater heights'. Well, the one year in office has brought about close friendships like with Kevan that hopefully would continue to sustain.

Thursday was the long awaited public holiday. I went to the Singapore Flyer and we booked a good time slot in advanced so we got to see the sunset over the CBD area which was fabulous. I couldn't help but notice the Marina Floating Platform used for NDP had the artificial pitch installed. It was like a soccer pitch in the middle of nowhere. I heard of FIFA approves the pitch, Singapore may play their World Cup Qualifier there. Just imagine the ball boys swimming in the sea if the ball flies out. So generally the ride was fasincating as I got to see like virtually the whole City in that small capsule. However i did thought the contruction of the IR did spoil the view a little but it would be a amazing sight once the project is completed.

Friday, by the Lord's mercies i managed to survive Physics and Maths Test considering i didn't study that much. They were relatively managable so hopefully i should be able to pass. Really really really grateful to the Lord.

Saturday was sandcastle day in preparation for Pre-U Sem. My group was suppose to build on the theme 'Satellie Hub'. We planned and so we thought we did. We wanted to contruct a satellite receiver but in the end we realised our design was not viable no thanks to Gravity. So after much attempt in trying to change the design, we gave up and instead built a solar panel building that really look mucu similarly tofu. We wanted to carve words on the buildings too but a lot of effort was needed so we cut short the words. I really had to take my hats of to Clarissa cause she did such a great job doing the words which required so much perserverance. Well done everyone! Hope everyone enjoyed themselves.

And so Aisyah thought i was emo cause of the song lyrics in my last post. aha! i jut like that phrase cause it gives an element of hope that no matter what, tomorrow gonna bring forth a new start. See Aisyah, i'm so nice to name you on my blog. Just dont kill me when you see me. Aha.

Another new week begins. Tap the power!

2008-04-30T23:36:00.002+08:00

I forgot to say yesterday that the Ben and Jerry's queue was ridiculously long so my friends and i decided to go home and study Chem SPA instead of lining up. Opportunity Cost. Our subject tutors should be so proud of us.

Generally Chem SPA was rather manageable. For the first time in my entire Skill A history i actually managed to finish doing it. Hopefully i get a Level 8.

So tomorrow a public holiday (: SLEEP!

2008-04-29T22:42:00.003+08:00

Tomorrow perhaps the last time we will wear the house comm badge.

Perhaps.

I have to emphasize that tomorrow is the LAST set of SPA for chemistry i ever have to take. Skill A. One hour defines it all. Make it or break it.

Best Wishes!

Sometimes it feels like I don't really know whats going on
Time and time again it seems like everything is wrong in here

But there is still tomorrow, forget the sorrow.

2008-04-18T23:08:00.006+08:00

Colosseum 2008.

One full cycle.

There was always the bitter-sweet feeling with the coming of colosseum. Happy in the sense that there would be one less major project to do. Sad in the sense that this would be our last major event as a house comm.

It was great to see so many people turn up for it, partially cause they locked all gates which was rather ridiculous but necessary.

The highlight of this annual event is always the cheerleading. Callisto did better than i expected, perhaps even better than last year. The costumes are so Pro-Fresh-Shen-Nal. They looked amazing in it. Credits to Beverly and team for choreo the moves and putting together the music and other stuff. Spendid.

Track events went on smoothly. Well done Azy! We did a great job planning.

And so i refereed a few Gladiator's Ball events and it didn't go on with the best of moods. Tempers flared and so on. I apologise to whoever was affected by my refereeing and it wasn't intentional that i didn't blow for a foul. Perhaps i got a taste like what a real referee feels like when we shout REFEREE KAYUUUUUUUUUU at him. Food for thought.

Well, that was the only major blemish of the day. I can't describe how elated i was when the annoucer revealed we were champions. To win the title on the last event of your tenture is really really something to be glad about. It's simply was like a fairy tale ending.

I was talking to Kevan on the way for dinner. Our conversation was about how fast our 1 year in office has ended (if not officially). We had a good talk on the events over the past year and how we first met each other etc.. Once again this nostalgic feeling resurfaced again.

Colosseum 2007
Interhouse MTV
Funfestique
ACES Day
Inter-house Dance Competition
Orientation 1
College Road Race
Chinese New Year
Orientation 2
Colossuem 2008

One full cycle.

Never to be forgotten.

One More week.

One More Term.

One More Year.

Surpress Surpress. Tahan. Tahan.

Press On... Press On..

2008-04-11T23:23:00.005+08:00

Project Work: A

Very very very thankful for that result. My class did really well. Much thanks to our ST MRS GHANDI who has put in countless amount of time and effort during the whole of last year. And hopefully, this would signify there would be more of the coverted grade to come.

Most of my friends got A or B too and i'm really glad for them cause all our hard work paid off. The PI, GPP, OP, EOM etc. Now the new JC1's are walking in our footsteps. Aha.

Thus this week ended on a high note with a one day school-declared holiday PLUS liverpool winning 4-2 against Arsenal in the Champions League.

Blessings. Blessings indeed (:

2008-04-10T20:40:00.005+08:00

Woah. I guess this is the longest time i abstained from blogging ever apart from the O level period. Time seriously passed by so quickly.

So i haven't watch 'The Leap Years' yet. Probably buy or rent the DVD/VCD if i happn to see one next time.

The past One and a Half months has been quite busy. March Block Test, Camp, Colosseum preparations etc. Some events were happy and fun, but i have learnt to take things in my stride.

Well, we got our A level confirmation slip today. A levels is only 7 months away. Not much time left but it seems so far away if you look at it in terms of days.

Like my chem teacher goes:

7 Months of your time

4 years of your life

I think he is right (as teachers always do). Press on. Press on.

On a more anxious note, tomorrow Project Work results are out! The day which has been long overdue. I hope i get an A but whatever it is i know my group have all did their best.

For now, back to BINOMPDF.

2008-02-29T22:34:00.002+08:00

Today is the once-every-four-years-phenomenon day.

I read up somewhere is yahoo that actually one year is actually 365.25 days instead of just 365. So every four years we add an extra day to make it in line with the spinning of the earth. Apparently, this date format was thought up by that Roman King called Julius Caesar.
So bascially that sums up the history of leap years.

In all randomness, i'm want catch the 'Leap Year' movie some day. It's kind of dumb but i'm curious how the plot goes and would it have that happy ever after ending like in most movies do. Okay, that besides the point.

My understanding on the concept of electric field is not improving although we have one extra day of the year technically.

Who seriously cares about point charges?

2008-02-23T00:05:00.002+08:00

Today the dreaded e-learning day arrived again.

Nothing much changed from last year as expected.

Long loading time, lagging, time out... (although they claimed to have upgraded the server)

The amount of stuff the various departments gave are in fact more than what we will actually study in college if we had school. Way much more.

The only thing they changed perhaps is the time limit imposed on the modules and the assessments.

And while we are trying to access all these chunks of information, our teachers are reportedly having 'fun' building sandcastles.

Go figure.

2008-02-17T20:27:00.006+08:00

Chingay's finally over.

The process to it was quite a short one, spanning about 5 weeks, but it nonetheless took up most of my weekends. At last i can resume normal weekend activities again.

The parade itself was quite a smooth one with minor hiccups along the way but overall it was a major success. No accidents happen which probably would get my whole group killed off and blacklisted in addition to headline news. Thank God for that.

What's a major CIP without making new friends right? My group people are a bunch of funny ones. They are really nice people to interact with. The best one is _______ whom we can suan until she cannot stand it.

Everyone goes their way for now with the Big A's the focus along the couse of this year but i think everyone has left an impression on each other someway and somewhat.

Thanks to all the leaders who lead us. Although they probably won't ever see this but we all appreciate what you all have done for us (:

(the rest on facebook)

2008-02-12T21:20:00.000+08:00

Perseverance.

Easier said than done.

Today perhaps i realised how weak the human body is.

Have you felt like you seem so small?
Have you felt like you dont belong?
Have to felt that the skies seem grey?
And there is of ray on hope in place?

But for every doubt i know strength is there.

The key is just how to tap it.

Press on once again.

2008-02-06T22:40:00.000+08:00

Champions.

(Chinese New Year Celebration 08)

Defending champions once again.

Well done performers and decorators!

Great Effort!

We finally won them all this time. =D

2008-02-01T20:42:00.000+08:00

Wired. Tangled. Dark. Uncertainties.

2008-01-28T21:51:00.000+08:00

Today is Monday yet again.

Yesterday didn't do anything much productive. CIP was quite retarded. They assigned us to tampines which turned out was a pretty bad location combined with bad timing. There is really not much of a crowd at 3-4 plus and people are not really in a mood to donate under the scorching hot sun. I pity any one who walks from tampines mall to the bus interchange. The fellow would probably encounter the donation bag approximately 7 times. Literally died after CIP. I slept through out the night and i found out i wasn't alone today. But it's alrighti guess. After this i'm not gonna sign up for any more.

Saturday was Road Race. I'm so glad i'm not going to attend it anymore. It's was a very energy-sapping experience. Don't remind me about Mascot walked. Got scolded by the teacher cause haha. We should have taken the more cautious approach. It's was really challenging to encourage everyone to cheer and to walk/run at a certain speed and you know it's quite an uphill task when everyone is not responding even when u hold a loudhailer. But despite all the difficulties, we still got FIRST-runnerup. I think it surpassed everyone's expectations. (:

So that was the weekend and another new week begins with everything repeative.

I'm seriously getting jaded with school.

At least i ended the day with a note of sastisfaction that the house comm room is super super clean now. The rest of the houses better not dirty it again.

And now, back to chem spa.

2008-01-23T23:44:00.001+08:00

Its' wednesday yet again. Mid week.

The days seems to be passing by faster than usual. J2 syndrome.

Tutors with their never ending tutorials, assignments and once in a while consolidation exercises which is really just a more beautiful way of saying TEST. Like you know the politically correct answer of saying someone short is vertically challenged.

I am amazed by the fact that this year's batch of J1 students seem to be super extra mugger compared to us. I used to rmb last year's J2 batch complaining to me that our batch is so (i emphasize) mugger. Now, it our turn.

First Three~~Months~~ Weeks as they call it. Tomorrow the O levels results are out for all of them.

Best of Luck to CALLISTO 1, Clement, Samuel, Joyce, Annabella, Nathanael, Sherlyn, Pamela and all those who i have missed out.

Give thanks for whatever that results maybe cause God has plan for each one of you. (=

2008-01-14T22:35:00.000+08:00

Integration suck.

Basically everything about it.

Honestly, i can't see myself using any of those formulas in the near future.

GG LAH.

2008-01-14T00:11:00.000+08:00

Second week of January has just whizzed by.

Fast isn't it?

As i look that the months ahead, i see so much in stored. I see exciting times ahead, yet without a doubt, there are also challenges.

The fight to the finished end has long began.

There probably be mistakes and regrets again through the course of this year, but thats part and parcel of life.

Just one step at a time.

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along

2008-01-08T21:18:00.000+08:00

Today, I'm yet again reminded of his mercies and blessings he has bestowed upon me.

Thank you Lord.

2008-01-06T21:16:00.000+08:00

Time to update once again.

Orientation One ended on friday and i have just managed to kick out the biological mess my body had accumulated during that period. That means catching up on my sleep and getting majourity of my voice back.

O1 was a blast overall despite a slow start. The new JC1 batch are i believe more intellectual than us if you look at the amount of people taking 4H2 this year. I think the school laxed the requirement slightly which is rather unfair to the previous batches. I could, i probably would have taken 4H2 but the school didn't offer me cause i was a combine science student which is rather irritating. Guinea pigs indeed.

I did enjoy the company of my OG people. I don't know why either but i think it was more 'fun-er' than the last time i did 02. Perhaps coz we got to skip lessons, but i guess all of us OGLs are paying the price back now.

Anyway, last year (i get to say this) a few of us went to SAKAE sushi. No, not the one in MJ. Chris, i kept my promise to blog about this okay

Pictures speak a thousand words (:

alright. now back to that stupid econs essay.

2008-01-01T00:27:00.000+08:00

So long and goodbye, So long and goodbye 2007.

New year,
New Start,
New Song.

A New Song

Put a new song in my heart

Let me hear the praises start

Dispell the night

And give me light again

Put a new thought in my mind

Help me leave the past behind

And break these chains

That I might live again

Lift my fallen face

and help me to stand

Flood me with the grace

That comes from your hand

Cleanse me from my sin

Lord, forgive me again

That I might be yours alone

Put a new fire in my soul

Make this wounded spirit whole

And help me see

That I am free again

Let these broken bones

Rise up and rejoice

Bring this captive home

And lift up my voice

Help my spirit sing

Now to Jesus my king

For he has forgiven me

Lift my fallen face

And help me to stand

Flood me with the grace

That comes from your hand

Cleanse me from my sin

Lord, forgive me again

That I might be yours alone

Another rough year ahead.

Another long year ahead.

I'll be fine, with my father's love.

2007-12-30T23:11:00.000+08:00

I can't describe how utterly irritated i am now.

I know it's nobody's fault but i'm so pissed.

It's less than 3 days more and everything is changed once again.

I don't even know what is going on since everything is revamped.

I guess that there is only 3 words to sum up my emotions: WA PIANG EHHHH.

2007-12-25T23:20:00.000+08:00

I'm grateful for the air i breathe,

I'm so thankful for this life i live,

for the mercies that You pour on me,

and the blessings that meet every need.

And the grace that is changing me from a hopeless case

to a child that's free,

free to give You praise for in ev'rything

I know You love me.

For unto us a Child was given.

Special moments indeed.

Merry Christmas everyone!

2007-12-20T23:33:00.001+08:00

I'm getting irritated with Windows XP.
It keeps telling me it doesn't recognise my device and directs me to the HELP function which is ever so not useful. (I can't ever recall a time when it was useful at all)

Argh.

2007-12-15T23:37:00.000+08:00

As the song goes: 'Count your blessings, name them one by one.'

You know what, God's blessings bestowed upon me is impossible to count. Countless. I have much to thank him for although at the same time ashamed of myself.

When everything else seems hopeless, he will be that light.

So another conference gone yet again. But this time it would really be different. I assure you change will take place. I believe so.

The year ahead will be a challenging one, not only academically. But we will all pull it all.

Fear not, for I am with you

Be not dismayed, for I am your God

I will strength you

Yes, I willl help you

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

(Isaiah 41:10)

Another blessing I could count was yearly holidays, this year was an exception. Exceptionally good.

The feeling revolving around european cities it's something i can't seem to write in words, perhaps due to my lousy grasp of english. It gives a romantic, historical feeling but at the same time that modern feel is not totally elimated.

Perhaps it's due to the brilliant roman architecture or maybe of the brilliant landscape.

Everything there was almost like a post card picture scene. Mavellous. Awesome splendor.

I definately want to return back to Muchen and Praha someday in the future.

But the most important thing is to return to the fold.

2007-11-21T21:23:00.000+08:00

Apple red happiness
Popcorn cheerfullness
Cinamon singing inside
Peppermint energy
Gumdrop holidays

When you give Christ your life (=

2007-11-18T23:05:00.000+08:00

One point.

It cannot get simpler than this.

If England don't get at least a draw with Croatia, they really do not deserve to be in Euro 2008.

Israel has done their part in beating the Russian. Now for England to do their part.

The promise land indeed.

Time to update after disappearing for an entire week.

I have been going back to school for trainings and OGL breifing for much of the week.

OGL breifing was due to start at 830 on Wednesday but it didn't begin till 9. Everyone got a scolding from the SC cause we were so late. They said that as leaders we should be punctual whether rain or shine as the fate of orientation lies in our hands. Even if 5mins late, it with accumulate to half-an-hour or one hour... I quite expected this because this year's o2 also got scolded the same old thing. Standard practice lah. heh.

After that LiangTing, Darren, Cheuk and I went to downtown to play pool. Haven't played for a long time. Sucked like mad initially. We dined at Whitesand KFC cause they said the downtown KFC no aircon thus very hot.

Friday went with 2 friends to set Sakae buffet again at downtown. My first time eating that buffet. Ate so much until almost cannot walk. Roy is the ultimute. People try to eat as much as they can, he drink water as much as he can. I think he drank close to 8 glasses of water. The store should have just left a jug of water at our table. haha. It was quite irritating to keep calling the waiteress to refill water.

Today, I ate Carls Junior. My first time yet again. The burger is humongous. About twice the size of Mac's. The filling i must say was rather generous. It was tasty and good but the price i felt was a bit high. I think i would gain more sastisfaction from eating two studetn meals at Burger King or Mac's than one meal there. Yes the food has more quality and standard but two set meals else where is still cheaper and more filling. I would probably go back, however not in the near future.

As you can see i been eating and eating and eating. Not Good Not Good.

2007-11-10T23:31:00.000+08:00

Played like shit lah.

2007-11-07T22:47:00.001+08:00

Stage 1: Preliminary Ideas
Stage 2: Group Project Proposal
Stage 3: Evaluation Of Materials
Stage 4: Written Report
Stage 5: Oral Presentation
Stage 6: Insights and Reflection

6 stages. 9 months (March to November).

Project Work is Officially over.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Today the whole JC1 cohort squeezed into the library in an attempt to sort out their Group Project File(GPF) in order. It was noisy and crowded but no one cared. Not even the librarian.
Virtually everyone was rushing to print the cover page. Out of 4 printers, only one was working. Not a wonder why in this mad rush.

As my group passed up our file, I didn't feel sad or extremely happy. Just a sensed of relieve.

Much as PW could be named as Project Worthless along with the calls for it's abolishment, maybe all of us did learn something after all. Yes, it was irritating. Yes, it did cost many of us sleepless nights. But at the end of they day, we all learnt something. Besides finding out more in our field of research, we most importanly learnt vital skills. Writing skills, Presentation skills, Problem solvings skills. What we did over the past year is apt of what we are going to face in the outside world. We can't expect everything to fall the way we want it. It not going to happen. Challenges faced now are probably small compared to the working world. Imagine if we really have to carry out our showcasing, we will be facing even more problems that doesn't reveal itself on paper.

20 years from now, maybe some of us will be thanking the presence of Project Work. Maybe. We often detest things that are good for us. Just like studying, exercising, eating healthy.

Project Work maybe is not so pointless after all.

For the next J1 batch, welcome to PW =P

2007-11-05T22:45:00.001+08:00

Thanks to everyone who remembered my birthday and wished me through all forms of communicative means. I sincerely apologise if i did not reply some of your messages.

I think it is surprise that some people that i'm not close to actually wished me. In life there are sometimes pleasant surprises.

Once again a big thank you to all of you. Much appreciated.

Oral Presentation when on pretty fine today. At least the questions asked were not as daunting as from what i heard. It wasn't exactly a bed of roses but it was alright. Not too easy, Not too difficult.

Whatever it is i thank him for his presence throughout today.

I'm gonna complete InR now and PW would then be history.

2007-11-04T21:43:00.000+08:00

I have added and replaced broken links. I finally decided not to procastinate and do something about it.

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength
-Philippians 4:13

It's the final lap already this week. When tommorrow finally comes, all i can do is trust and i'm sure i'll won't be let down.

MJ087. Together we strive.

2007-10-26T22:13:00.000+08:00

I'm tired out after today's activities.

Played squash for the first time in my life and it was rather fun. Shern Whey and Daniel owned me so many times.

Training was after that and i didn't go on really well but i'll work hard and try my best to improve.

And i'm going to end my post here cause i'm tired.

Hani said this today: you see obstacles because you have lost track of your goals.

true. very true.

2007-10-23T22:23:00.001+08:00

Today, a bus driver went out of his way for me. He didn't have to do it but his actions were really appreciated. I can't write what happen here lest i get him into trouble. If you wanna know just ask me. So there is some kindness in our public transport system after all.

I often feel disgusted at how for example the MRT, people try to squeeze into the train as soon as the train doors open. I mean why can't they let people exit the train first before going in. I don't see the point of everyone going head on. IT only takes a mere 5 seconds to allow people to exit. What is the yellow box/line for? It not marked on the floor for nothing. Resources can be used far better in other areas.

And I practice what i preach of course.

2007-10-20T22:44:00.000+08:00

Written report was submitted yesterday for PW. Finally got rid of every 68 pages of it. I'm sure everyone was glad when it was submitted.

I ended up slacking in class after that with my class playing World Of Warcraft 3, Dota, 02 jam and other games since we had nothing to do and all of us didn't want to go home.

I left with Roy for lunch about 1230 and we decided to go Century Square. We were both happily chatting in the bus when my phone rang. I had to go down to sit in a last-minute-informed OGL interview. There went my dreams of having a slow and relaxing lunch.

I felt quite bad to him cause we really rushed through lunch. We were in and out of the food court in about 20minutes. He actually offered to eat at Macs since i was pressed for time but i didn't see the point in going all the way to tampines to eat Mac's when there is an outlet in White Sands.

I must thank the Lord for his mercies as i managed to get back to college just in time as train and connecting bus all came in quick succesion. Interview went on okay thankfully. Actually i'm thankful for the interview too as i don't think i would have done anything productive after lunch had i gone home.

So now, what is left for PW is OP.

oh. Chinese too.

2007-10-18T22:32:00.000+08:00

I know i have a lot of people to link since months ago and i promise i'll get them up soon. Soon is relative.

Reply to Tags:

Nick: I'm apologise for the typos. Singapore Education system don't teach us to learn MRT station names =P Best of Luck for O Levels.

Yiling: Yes Yes i had a werid dream. Bet you do have it too lah occasionally.

Chris: I think it did have a happy ending, just that i can't remember what. MAybe the happy ending was when i woke up. =)

-

I think today OGL interview experience was a learning curve in which there must be a certain protocol to follow and any minor disruption would result in everything going haywire or delayed. There were various learning points picked up today with would be valuable in the long run. Anyway, it was much enjoyable today and i believe 08 orientation would be undoubtly a success.

2007-10-17T00:01:00.001+08:00

I'm so gonna eat mac's tomorrow. or something of the equalivant.

I had a werid dream last night. I think it involved people popping out of teacups during a meal. I can't remember much about it now compared to this morning. Dreams are not worth remembering. Unless your name is Joseph of course in 657BC.

2007-10-15T23:16:00.000+08:00

I finally got out of the house today. A long awaited moment.

I met up with the rest at Douby Gaught MRT station, not before some confusion on which contol station we were suppose to wait at. When everyone arrived we headed to Cafe Cartel at Plaza Sing but upon discovering we had to wait rather long for a seat in addition to another 30mins of ridiculous waiting time for the food to be ready, we decided to go with Plan B. Okay, so we didn't have a Plan B and store directories are put up for a reason. We each took a vote which resulted in an unamious decision to eat at Swensens instead.

During the meal, someone in our batch kept saying that waiter and waitress ENGERISH is so bad (name is not disclosed to protect the guilty one). You better thank me Mark. heh. We had a good time of talking random stuff together. I was smart enough to drop my lemon on the floor before i could squeeze it. So embaressing. When it was dessert time, Chris dessert was sort of 'forgotten' by the store a we waited like almost half an hour for it to arrived which by that time all of us was already done with all the eating. We decided to call the bill and we had an little arguement on how to calculate how much each person need to pay. Eventually we decided to follow Allister's least cost method of calculation by taking the net sum times 1.17. The change of 90cents took light years to come and we decided to go and take the change ourselves instead of waiting for it to com back to us.

We headed to play pool after that and it was fun. Fun in the sense that there were many hilarious moments like Allister trying to do a jump shot that instead jumped out of the table onto the floor. Thank God that the owner didn't see what he did. I guessed everyone had fun there. I must say the girls in our batch learn rather fast how to play the game. Pool rockz.

We headed back to Plaza Sing again as Mark wanted to go play arcade. We all ended up instead crowding around a machine playing 'Spot the difference'. Imagine 7 people playing one game. & brains are suppose ot be better than one but i'm sad to say we lost after around 8 rounds for the first try and a mere TWO rounds after the second try.

I had to go after that already but overall i had an enjoyable time.

Now PW stinks.

2007-10-09T21:01:00.000+08:00

No matter what the results are tomorrow, let me count it all joy.

"But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You."
-Psalm 5:11

Whatever happens, i know you have a plan for me.

2007-10-08T23:06:00.000+08:00

When all else fails, all you need is a funny advert to cheer you up =D

90th minute:

"Steve Finnan crosses the ball into the penalty AND FERNANDO TORRES SCORES WITH A BRILLIANT HEADER!"

Full Time: Liverpool 2-2 Tottenham

I don't know if i'm suppose to feel happy or sad with that last gap equaliser to draw the match.

We were in the lead at first and how did we allow spurs to get back into the game?

English champions hopefully this season?

Fat Chance.

2007-10-07T16:44:00.000+08:00

I know i'm 2 days late but Friday was Open House.

Reporting time was only at 8.30am to everyone's sheer delight. By 10am, all preparations were in full swing with the whole college running everywhere to get all the last minute stuff ready. I ended up doing my own keychain after my CG stall was done to beat the crowd later when everyone comes in.

Open House officially commenced at 12pm with the dance the first item on showcase followed by the band. Next in line was the highlight of the Open House: the Inter-house mass dance competition.

I felt that Callisto put in a lot of effort and didn't let us down. Everyone was active in participation and were super enthu, a far cry from the first mass dance practice. They were loud, they were great, everything that the house comm and dance comm asked for.

Althought we didn't won in the end, I'm proud of them all. Proud of everyone of them, I could see even those who are usually not active in this type of stuff actually put in the time and effort to join in the dance. It was throughly heart-warming and encouraging. In my eyes, they are the true winners.

Thank You Callisto. You were all spendid.

On a better not, I got my hands on hte book i wanted to read long ago after going to Kinokuniya (ignore the wrong spelling) yesterday. =) Gonna start reading on it soon with others books which i have put off for a very long time.

AND ARSENAL ARE UNBELIEVABLY TYCO.

2007-10-03T21:32:00.000+08:00

UNITY

Why is that word so lacking?

I was hoping perhaps maybe after some time you would prove my initial judgement wrong.

Sadly, i don't see any improvement at all.

I glance at others with a dropping heart at the way we are.

It honestly sucks really so much that we are living each man for himself.

I got other comments to add on but this isn't the right place.

Unity. That's all i'm asking.

It suppose to be the most basic thing.

My class. I'm really dissapointed.

2007-10-02T22:02:00.000+08:00

I finally decided to log into blogger and type a post out. In retropect, i remember how i used to blog almost every day during secondary school life before putting my blog on hiatus for O levels. After that i seem to lost the passion to go back to my initial blogging ways.

Tomorrow it's back to school. Sort of looking forward to it. I been eating, sleeping, computer-ing ever since promos ended and i desperately need to break out of this sick cycle. Funny thing isn't it that you desire to do this before examinations but become digusted at it after everything has past.

Trunketed timetable being installed from tomorrow onwards but it's not doing any good cause it ends that 5.05pm everyday. Well, at least this week only i believe.

I was talking to someone on friendship just now.

It got me thinking on the value of friendship and how sometimes worth of it does not show the way it really is.

In any case, we agreed on the fact that we did share a blessed friendship in common that would last with the rest in years to come.

Time to go back to where i belong.

2007-09-28T23:58:00.000+08:00

Zero more papers!

Promos officially ended yesterday for me =D

No more Mathematical Induction.

No more Gravitational.

No more unallocative efficiency and inquity of market failure

No more examinatoins.

I'm trying hard to ignore that fact I still have Chinese 'A' level and Project work in one month's time.

In any case, i can relax and throw the mugging aside for now. At least till all the results come back.

Promo's has been one stressful exam. I believe even more stressful than O Levels. I guess the higher you go, the more it takes to suceed or rather to pass.

As the chinese saying goes: Yi Shan Bi Yi Shan Gao.

Assuming i used it in the correct context. Well, you get the meaning.

I wasted my day idle-ing at home doing nothing productive but sleeping and eating and computer and back to sleeping.

Sad isn't it. The same thing repeats when you obtain freedom.

Okay so i'm going to go find something productive to do now.

2007-09-14T00:28:00.001+08:00

Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

2007-09-10T00:28:00.000+08:00

2 weeks. All you have left is two weeks.

It is either that or the possibility of one more year.

It's full stream ahead now.

Nothing else matters for now.

It's Now or Never.

Today is Wednesday. And Wednesday signifies half a week has gone.

That leaves 4 full days more to study before college reopens. Well technically. Minus other commitments, that leaves me with about 2.5 days.

I still think i wasted yesterday going back to school for lessons. That could have been an extra full day to mug. Didn't think i gain anything much productive out of it besides perhaps econs where i undeerstood quite a bit on traffic control or something of the equalivant.

I would love to thank whoever that said tutorial and test answers for chem are already loaded on IVLE. Apparently that is not the case. I feel so cheated. Should have scribbled down the some outline of the answers. Now i'm stuck without the model answer for the correct presentation.

That leaves 19 days for promos and i'm wasting my time typing out this post.

"But with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death."
-Phillipians 1:20

A measure of a person's life isn't by how long he lives, but by the impact he makes.

One life. Live it the way it should be.

Today I realise how fragile life can be.

As fragile as glass. Perhaps maybe even more.

Such is unpredictabilty of life. Sometimes even perhaps surpassing your wildest imagination. You never know what is going to happen around every corner. Only God knows.

Today is a wake up call for me. For i know if i am in the same circumstance, i've nothing that God is proud of.

I'm going to try to live my life all over again.

There's a reason for everything and i know it's part of your plan.

Just Trust.

God never moves without purpose or plan.
When trying His servant and molding a man.
Give thanks to the Lord, though your testing seems long.
In darkness, He giveth a song.
O Rejoice in the Lord!
He makes no mistake.
He knoweth the end of each path that I take
For when I am tried and purified,
I shall come forth as gold.

2007-08-23T20:47:00.000+08:00

I just hate the feeling of being sick.

I been sleeping the whole day and i feel like a pig. Yes a pig, not a spider-pig, not anything else.

And it makes it all the more worst when you have Chemistry SPA tomorrow.

Talking about grace, I prayed yesterday to the Lord to deliver me back home safely as i was already feeling unwell. His response was that all the buses and MRT came in quick succesion. The Lord indeed is merciful and gracious and his act of love and compassion is simply marvelous.

Thank you Lord.

2007-08-20T20:40:00.000+08:00

So we were robbed of all 3 points thanks to an incompetant referee.

But that doesn't matter.

What matters is that we were not on the back foot for once. Good football was played.

And we scored thanks to someone.

His name is Fernando.

Not Fernando Morientes. Not Fernando Alonso.

But Fernando Torres.

Funfestique week is finally over.

Street soccer on Wednesday was crap. It over so oh well.

Then yesterday, I played in PhoPho, an Indian game. It was the last game of funfestique to be played. Ask me how to play if you want to know. It was so retarded and maybe to a certain extent fun. It was so fun that no one knew how to play the game until we got there. Haha. It was so funny becuaase half the time everyone was argueing with the score taker. Played 2 games in total. In each game, you take turns to defend in attack. In the last game, after defending, our points total dropped from 25 to -45 due to don't know what infrigment we made. Then in the end we won with a grand total of 65 points. So hilarious cause it was quite unexpected. It really made the late 6pm start to the game worth it (= Then we heard Lifesaving we also came in champions and it was double happiness. Honestly, i was quite worried we will be the only house not to end up with 1st place for the whole Funfestique but in the end we got not one, but two first placings for team events.

First: Lifesaving, Pho Pho and Bowling (individial).

Second place was achieved in floorball (girls), IGC (disx), Taekwando and Bowling (mixed team).
In third place was Basketball (boys), Floorball (mixed) and Dance.

Our results may not be the best but at least we tried our best. Well done Callisto.

After all the hype on Funfestique, I went Wakeboarding for Games elective.

Wakeboarding was superb. Really really fun. The sense of achievement when you manage to complete one full round is undescrible. The 35 bucks i paid for two hours due to school subsidy was worth it, if not more. It was always a challenge around the turn but yup, manged to conquer that after a few tries. Thank God it rained after my session.

So we were stuck at the place for a while amist the rain although under a shelter due to direction of the wind and lack of more shelter. After it died down a littke, we wen to the near by hawker center and everyone ate like pigs cause we were so so so hungry.

I really enjoyed myself for the first time in a long while.

Now its back to reality, back to physics.

2007-08-13T22:49:00.001+08:00

Chemistry.

A subject that always gives me false hope.

One more test this term to prove it wrong again.

2007-08-12T21:01:00.000+08:00

Back to school tomorrow.

Back to reality.

Hope Funfestique will be fine.

2007-08-09T23:59:00.000+08:00

Back from the Padang. It was a blast.

I reached the padang at around 4pm and queued to get into the place for about 1hour or so due the fact 10,000 people are trying to get it. No choice for the sake of 6 CIP hours. The order of queuing was in a mess. Everyone was packed like sardines, inching foot by foot forward. There was some pushing too and as usual, some people try to cut queue. Typical Singaporeans.

It was already half full when i got in. I managed to get into the white sector and got a white umbrella to the delight of most of us.

And so we opened....

and closed umbrella.

You can stand under my umbrella ella ella a a a.

While eveveryone was contented with their umbrella, Kwang Wei had other ideas in his head after he finished two packets of chips.

In the mist of opening and closing the umbrella to break the world records on the biggest human flag, i professionally took some, okay 2 photos.

This shows i can multi-task. Who say boys can't do it?

After that we sat down and watched the parade live from the big screen put up. Actually i recorded a video of the fighter jets but a the end i smartly pressed cancel and there goes the clip.

After the whole parade had ended, the person-in-charge asked everyone for their cooperation to pick up their litter and throw it away.

and this was the response he got:

Yes. As you guessed. To no avail. Why can't we Singaporeans be nice and cooperative for once on the nationa's birthday. Yes, i practiced what i preach and left my area litter free.

I'll try to upload the fireworks on YouTube if i can get the stupid thing to work.

Happy Birthday Singapore. Happy National Day.

2007-08-08T23:43:00.000+08:00

I managed to get through this short three-day week of school thanks to the Lord's grace and mercies.

Tuesday's Maths was badly done casue of big big careless misktakes yet again. But on the brighter side i know ut careless and not because i don't knwo the topic so i can take some confort in that.

Chemistry paper was relatively good (i hope). First time that i can do the paper with ease. Well, i hope i'm not proven wrong but i think i have the best chance of passing for the first time this year. It would be a major boost if i do.

Today is supposely half-day due to national celebrations. The thing was alright. Rather funny and comical. After that was what everyone dereaded most: the 2hour Econs paper. I did my best and i need to know the chapter more but i didn't give up unlike some people who conviently skipped essay and pass up. Cross fingers to pass.

So after that i ate macs and then went home to sleep cause i was super tired. Headed down to churhc after that for practice before heading down to j8 to eat Pastamania. Ate tere for the first time and it's was not bad. Had a good time of fellowship and bonding. Thanks to Teacher Yongjing for the treat yet again. =D

Now i'm back here wasting the night away. I promise i will study hard tomorrow. I promise i will.

Happy National Day Eve.

2007-08-06T01:01:00.001+08:00

It's 1 am and i'm still slogging my heart out for EOM.

As usual, i am not alone.

Magnify the Lord through this 'adversity'.

And the week has already began before it as even started.

2007-08-04T15:36:00.001+08:00

Someone please knock me out now.

I can't even do a simple dot and cross diagram on chem bonding.

At this rate i'm not going to get pass next week.

So much for National day week.

~~For the Nation.~~ For the tests.

Thanks tutors. We students so love you.

2007-08-01T20:37:00.000+08:00

School seeem to be passing faster and faster day my day. It isn't such a drag after all. Every new day means something addtional to learn and something additional to learn much more content to memorize for promos.

fine. rethorical musing.

Next week is national day week and it's suppose to be a holiday for us to catch up with our studies but no, the civics tutors have other things on their mind. Chemistry test and economics consolidation exercises are on their agenda. So fun eh? What a great way to start National day.

And anyone want to buy my Chelsea jersey? Or if anyone you know wishes to buy it?
Price is negotiable. Thanks

2007-07-29T22:11:00.000+08:00

Guilty.

Today message on 'forgetting God' was appealing. I didn't ever thing that this could ever happen but the reality of it is there. It made me wonder whether we're often guilty of that. We go to him when we need him, pleading for mercy and forgivness but what happens on normal days? God takes the backseat? Maybe it's not that stage yet but if we're not careful, the chances that we do forget him and his works is high. Unimaginable but possible.

Cat class today was very interactive and fun. It's was a very enagaging lesson and to know i'm part of the covernant is a very assuring thing. But i know i'm not worthy of it at all. No matter what, i'm going to work on it.

Talking about worthy-ness, maybe i'm not worthy to wear.. forget it.

I'll just do my best and leave no regrets (=

2007-07-27T21:21:00.000+08:00

Today is Friday.

This means other week gone.

Wasted? Maybe not. But gone.

Means Another week lesser to promos.

61 days to be exact.

Do your maths and the number of hours per subject is ridiculously insufficient.

Sigh.

This week was pleasant. Had principal talk on wednesday morning on time managment. She said that we had to put first all the bigbigbig rocks then the smaller rocks. Yeah. everyone knows that, just the application part is tough.

Thursday was Meridian Leaders day which i got to skip 25minutes of lesson due to impromptu random photo-taking. Everyone was trying to fit their face in the picture, so hilarious. Some people were so obsessed in taking photos that they didnt want to take their badges. And did i mention missing lessons wasn't a good thing cause i missed tutorial which is so important. Soccer was alright after that. Got back quite late and didn't so much as i was so exhausted.

Today it started raining in the afternoon again as usual which is so irrtating when i want to hold trials. Mean i have to find another day to do it and there so little time to slot another day.

And come on, congrat me. I finish Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows after a week, no more no less. I 'choinged' 3hours in the evening to finish up the last 200pages. I know i'm slow but it is still faster than i expected. Now i can study in peace without the desire to return back to the book =x. Ending was okay. Just that... (alright, shan't give spoilers like other people do).

Time to return to mugging.

I'll dissapparate from this moment.

2007-07-22T21:17:00.000+08:00

If only you knew..

2007-07-21T22:58:00.000+08:00

This week went on rather eventfully. Somehow time past rather quickly in the past week which is not a good thing as it mean the days to promos are numbered. argh.

More DOTA-ing from now on. Just to remind you that DOTA stands for 'do your tutorials/assignments' in case you wanted to shout in glee.

Dota till promos end.
(DOTA: AT PROMOS END) Get it now at all Junior colleges. Only in College. While consultation last. Each chapters sold seperately.

So MTPS today was better than i expected. My CT was kind in giving comments to my mum. That's what i call grace. I know i can do it. No more life for me.

I got my hands on the new Harry Potter book! =D
Queued up at Popular at Whitesands for a ridiculous 20minutes. I'm gonna read it in between studying which concludes that i'll take a gazillion years to read finish the longawaited concluding series of that potter kid. I'll appreciate no spoilers.

National Day rehersal tomorrow to practice to carry some umbrella. (dont ask why). My apologises to teacher yong jing to not doing our memory verse. Will get it done by next week i promise.

So it is back to the books. sigh.

P.S: Sherlyn are you okay?

Here just to rant a Quickie post.

"A's" Listening today when on fine. I've already discovered one mistake upon disccusing answers among my peers but the rest should be correct i assume. The questions were rather tricky and my wisdom and judgment didn't let me down thankfully. Thank God.

So i guess no more listening exams (+oral exams) anymore (=

PW is really making life much more busier as if life is not already busy without it. I'm sure that many of us would happily do away with it but nope, we don't have a choice. Survey got rejected (sigh). Sorry guys for wasting your time to do my survey. Will have to call upon you to do the revamp survey again soon. Thousand apologises.

Tommorrow the 5th house com presents themselves to the houses for the first time. Hope everything goes smoothly and we get good participation for FunFestique. It will be werid for once not to be sitting down listening but to be part of the committee on the stage.

Go Callisto!

It's past twelve.

On my MSN contact list shows 54 people online, out of which i believe at least 20 people are doing their EOM. It's rather obvious how many people are digusted by Project work through their personal messages and i don't deny i'm one of them. Honestly, i don't see the point of it. It take up so much time and effort only for drafts and drafts to be rejected again. At the end of the PW adventure, i'm sure i can pen down a 'Guide book for Dummies: 101 ways to succeed in PW'.

Hello Monday.

It's a dawn of brand new week.

One less week to promos.

One more day to listening comprehension.

No more ruing miss chances.

Don't look back anymore.

Aim. Pray. Believe.

P.S: Happy Birthday Christopher!

2007-07-13T22:04:00.001+08:00

Surprise Surprise.
Horrors of Horrors.

I can safely say this was the most disasterous exam that i ever went through. No elaboration needed. At least that i can take heart that i know where i went wrong and it's a major wake up call for me.

Just like what Roy said: DIE DIE HAVE TO MUG TILL PROMOS.

The thought of it is quite sad when everyone about a year ago i studied really hard for 'O' Levels and one year later everyone is back to square one, the only difference bring everyone is studying much much harder trying to understand how PV=nRT works or whether by mathematically induction Pk+1 is true for all real values.

76 more days to promos. Not a big lot of time considering the number of hours available per day.
Every second is precious.

Time to balance Studies, Soccer and House Com.

And hopefully with God's help i'm able to succeed in all.

2007-07-09T21:17:00.001+08:00

I APPEAL TO EVERYONE TO HELP ME DO MY PW SURVEY.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=ZufB6Tq4VZq4OrGdEVBokA_3d_3d

DO YOUR PART. ANSWER THE CALL.

THANKS.

I was watching LIVE EARTH yesterday and it suddenly occured to me that how imstead of saving the earth, the seven concerts in seven continents are instead generating much more waste from the lights and electricity from the stadiums. And i began to wonder what is he sole purpose are the concerts staged for? They said it was to use music to spread the message. I beg your pardon? Did i see that wrongly? Some of the singers i saw were more engrossed their own performance, perhaps trying to use it as a oppotunity to attract more fans. I didn't see any purpose related to saving the earth totally. In my memory, i think on the performance if the Black Eyed Peas reallyt stood out. They composed a song/rap about saving the earth. That's what i've been waiting to see. It ain't about yourself, It's about the earth yo. Of course i'm not saying others didn't make an effort too either but BEP really attracted my attention. They are cool. Really cool.

So College starts proper tomrrow and the full extent of the horros of mid-years will be revealed. I know i did bad but i do pray that the exam markers were merciful enough. I wish.

Term 3 is a new beginning.

A start of ~~more~~ doing constant revision.

Let me walk the talk.

2007-07-05T23:25:00.000+08:00

It could have been so much better if not for the aircon.

But still i thank the Lord that i went through the oral exam quite okay.

I'll leave it just it is and trust in the Lord.

Thank you Lord.

For some reason this song is stuck in my head..
whoo.

Gone So Young
Amber Pacific

I never dreamt it'd be this way
I've lost any chance for me to say
To say that I miss you, say that I love you
Will someone please tell me I'm okay

I wasn't prepared for what's to come
A life made of memories gone so young
And now I'm regretting all I've done
But in your heart know that I'm with you all along

Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
I'm in your heart tonight

I never thought that this could go
And take me away from all I know
And leave me to think I'm on my own
But your love will take me, you were the one...

Who sat through nights
You held me tight
And made sure I'm okay
And I thank you for the love you gave to me

Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
I'm in your heart tonight...

Tonight...

Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
And if I should fall, I know you're waiting
And if I should call, I know you're there
If ever you cry just know
I'm in your heart tonight
I'm in your heart tonight...

2007-07-04T20:42:00.000+08:00

Don't you just hate it?

When times you enjoy so much pass so fast but when in moments you hate it crawls slower than a snail?

Seems like making a mockery out of you isn't it?

But it is times like these that memories are formed.

Honestly, i don't know who i can trust anymore.

I've got so many things in the back on my head.

I just don't know what to do.

And God bless to me for Chinese Oral tomorrow.

Sigh.

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

2007-07-04T01:29:00.000+08:00

Another 15 more or so hours to go.

Goodbye Ana. We'll all miss you back here.

Study hard and do well.

Continue to walking faithful.

In him we trust.

Just like the story of the footprints on the sand. In good times he will still walk beside you (two set of footprints). In times of need he will carry you through it, hence leaving only behind only a set of footprint.

Do well. All the best.

Sigh.

We look forward to Decmember now.

so many decisions
i don't know where to start.
do i follow what my head tells me
or listen to my heart?

2007-07-03T23:02:00.000+08:00

The school should really do something about upgrading the server.

IVLE is like a snail now. or even worst than that. The stupid page is still buffering at 3 percent for the past hour and it's getting on not only mine but on everyone else's nerves.

Elearnigng just proved to be a failure. How did the previous batches get through this?

The plus point: holiday.

2007-07-02T23:08:00.000+08:00

Time has been extended to two more days before farewell.

Sigh. Why do people not appreciate stuff until they are almost gone?

Such typical human behavoir.

I feel like a hypocrite.

Everyone let's emo.

2007-07-01T23:33:00.000+08:00

I've enjoyed myself since that exams ended.

I spent Friday afternoon walking along the streets of Orchad with Allister for stuff. Walked quite a bit due to some un-forseen planning which was really wasn't much of a problem. I was quite late in meeting him due to the fact i was intelligent enough to take the train in the wrong direction. Met some of the MJ council people who were going to sentosa for an outing of their own. So embarassing.

My whole batch stayed over at Jo's house that night. I caught up with Ana after so many light years. We didn't do much stuff except watching two movies which i can't really remember the name. I think it second one was 'Prestige' which everyone apart from 4 people slept through the show. We finally turned in for the night/morning at 6am. The maid was rather surprise we haven't turn in when she woke up at 5. So we slept till 10am which is not a good thing cause it screws your biological clock up. And i must say it was quite difficult getting certain people to get up. heh. Had a sumptous breakfast before heading home while the rest continued to watch another movie or two.

Today we went out as a batch for the last time till probably perhaps end of the year. We headed to Plaza Singapura to play Arcade which was noisy and crowded as expected. Transformer was slamming show with several nice and cool effects. Much better than i expected it to be. The visuals and effects were up to a good standard in addition to the fact it was quite hilarious and funny. We ate subway after that on the floor outside the mall which was rather nice for change.
I guess this outing will be more than just a memory.

running, running running through my head
they tell you it was good for everyone
but i know is now or never

The dreaded Mid-years have officially come to a close.

Monday.
Chemistry was a total dissapointment. It was the most paper i was prepared for and it was rather tough. I believe everyone was quite surprise when they spilt the 2-and-a-half-hour paper in 45minutes for MCQ and the rest for open-ended. It wasn't stated in the time-table. Mcq was a total waste for 3marks already because i didnt have time to 'tikam' although i tried my best to filled the blank on my OMR to no avail. Wasted. Open-ended was equally bad.

Tuesday.
Econs was fine. Ironically it was the least prepared paper and yet it's the paper i have the most confident of passing. I hope i do well although i didnt complete my essay. I hope I do well in this paper otherwsie i'll eat my words.

Wednesday.
Maths as expected was a paper i only can pray i just pass due to me lazyness in practising. Better Buck for for maths.

Whoever set the Physics papers is sick. 'Whoever can pass this paper is gay lah' (quote from Ivan and Liangting). Ungraded for sure.

Thursday.
I did what i had to do. Write what i think the question i think asked me too. And that includes write your own opinion for the fun of it. Don't really know how i feel about this paper.

The worrying on the dreaded results can be done later.

-it ends tonight

2007-06-27T20:35:00.000+08:00

JUST ONE MORE DAY.

2007-06-24T17:25:00.000+08:00

Dang.

Tomorrow. Just Tomorrow.

All i can say is i just hope for the best.

The word is Mercy.

2007-06-22T21:44:00.000+08:00

Inclusive this post, the number of posts this week is equlivant to the number of post i wrote over the past two weeks. Finding time or energy to blog now-a-days seem to take a toll me. Okay, i do admit my life is rather boring but it's still no excuse. Blogging is suppose to help you improve your General Paper or that's at least what society thinks today.

Mid years start on Monday. 4 days define what you have learn and whether you can apply what you have been over the past 6 months. I'm not prepared at all and i seem to be deceiving myself that i'm fine and failing is a norm when it's really not okay by any standards. And i feel so stupid when others can seem to understand a certain topic and i seem to struggle like eternity with it although i read it over and over like 3-4 times.

Thermal Physics
Trigo
Ionisation power
Mathematical Induction
General Progression

And oh,
add Chinese to that list.

Sigh.

2007-06-20T20:06:00.000+08:00

I seriously don't know what is going on anymore.

It's not i don't wish to do well but everything seems to hard and trying.

It just puts me off.

I badly need help and advice and it sucks not knowing your work.

So screwed. Oh wow.

2007-06-19T22:59:00.000+08:00

I'm beginning to love morning's more and more with each passing day.

I don't know why i begin to feel this way. Maybe the thought of a new day to start afresh bring a sense of happiness, hope and excitement to the heart.

How i start my morning each day carves out my overall feel of the day. It shapes the plan for the entire day and how i feel sastisfied on how i use my time a not.

everynew day your glory unfolds
filling my eyes with treasures untold
the beauty of holiness brings worship anew
my greatest love is you

2007-06-18T20:37:00.000+08:00

It will just take a ~~miracle~~ more than a miracle if i can get at least all E's for June common Test/Mid years whatever they call it.

Attempted to understand chemical kinetics. Got the hang of the first part but failed miserably in understanding the second part. Wasted the whole day on that chapter which is not such a good sign considering i wanted to finish 3 stuff today.

It's just so hard to understand.

It's just so hard to comprehend.

It's just so hard to see the whole picture.

It's an uphill task. Really a battle.

Lord. I truely really need your help and guidance
for every holy intervention. it's just another grace extention

2007-06-14T17:16:00.000+08:00

Last week ended horridly. It wasn't nice being sick of the usual illness (high fever cough and flu). It's quite frustrating sleep all day because you have no energy to do anything and all you can do is just lie in bed.

Being sick means you can't eat anything normal and i think porridge is yuck. And i couldn't go for the video shoot in school which was quite a pity. And i couldn't study either which means i have load and loads of things to catch up with time trickling down with each passing moment.

Oh well. I'm alright already. Thanks to those who have expressed their concern. Greatly appreciated.

JC syllabus is drastically in total world from secondary. It's like sort of a culture shock. Everything must know how to apply, everything must do this, everything must do. Physics has been quite a struggle. Don't understand, Don't know why and don't knwo how to apply. I didn't expect this installed when i said i wanted to take physics. No wonder people say JC stuff is so different. How different? I see the difference now.

I guess i need a little rant and complain about it. Don't know why but i need an avenue to complain and here is just fine. Since i chose this road, there is no turning back now. Better work consistently from now on.
