[ 271. The One With Slacking Day ]
today's the first time i used up the 4 rides/per day of my concession pass... went to PS but the shop haven open due to stock taking... so i headed to lavender to buy some army tee, short and towel. they're comfortable to wear and cheaper than my sch PE attire! but then if drenched in sweat, its a different story.
then shop at PS before slacking at HQ to see what i could help...
early afternoon went to make my ATM card... lol. and today my first time drawing $. really can get addicted... many pple will think its weird not to have an ATM card, but for me when i need $, i wld ask my parents for it, so there wasnt a need for the card. now its different, i gg army to be a grown man. Image wise, i also morphed from a billabong wallet to a leather wallet :] all thanks to dennis laughing at me say i 18 already still carry tt kind of wallet. hey got sentimental value one ok...
then at PS had a shopping spree. bought lots of stuff... haiz every1 so busy, msg so many pple to watch movie with me but cant find. i saw my hc senior, chek wun and one of the j2 dance society member. bought some stuff for my friend also...
went to HQ saw a few familiar faces... annie the grumpy receptionist. rita, khai, angeline, doreen, cynthia, jorin, mizael, edwin, poh boon, ching huey, ambrose and i also helping out for SouthQuest, a heritage trail game... yeah. cant wait to roam abt under the sun. better be hot sun...
It's time to get down to serious business...

[ 266. The One With An Interesting Saturday ]
Today wanted a traditional breakfast at Ya Kun Kaya Toast... The company... the food... *sweet* Then went to Novena to explore Novena Square and United Square. So engrossed in talking that we missed a stop. Saw my classmate Reena at Novena Square and one of the PE teachers, Mr Arthur Lim at United Square, what are the chances?
Time flies and the next minute i was at the swimming pool. the sun was gd today... but sad that the sun tml at sentosa wont be as good... felt kinda bad couldnt go for the briefing but i guess i nid to enjoy some civilian life... only 2 pathetic weeks left.

juz got to know i was freed from one of my red cross activities cos my help was not needed... *puzzled* i thot for help, its the more the merrier? oh well, nvm then i can have more time for punggol camp.
get well soon
my sore throat's killing me...

oh well. morning wasnt sian at sentosa. saw a few red cross cadets (cedar and victoria) but dunno they got outing or wat. vball games there were alright i guess, with the hot sun is always fun.
but i injured my neck... sian. feel uncomfortable and irritated...
then went to indoor court but nvr play la, as the usual crazy me i went to study. (can study there meh?) aiya every1's fave question... but at least i wont die of boredom studying at home. i can study with noise. and thot of going supper with my clique but haiz something happened so i had to take bus home.
dread that feeling man. muz admit, i am the kind of person whom i cant live happy without friends... i cant live w/o friends! so if u nid accompany, i can fly down even to jurong... but then today i had to travel alone home, wait for the bus for like 20+ mins, buy supper back and eat alone. on the bus? the cold and hungry me have to tolerate some indians who came on the bus and played a fool. with the tv mobile showing delicious food when i am dying of hunger. and so 'lucky' to meet a bus inspector at 11+pm. i wanted to have company for supper but no choice there were unforeseen circumstances...
haiz. too depressed to type liao, too sleepy to study. i'm so not myself today. and with the haunting thought that i didnt do well for my maths. haiz. 2 more papers. i can last but deep inside me, i feel sad. but who will know?

oh well, went to watch the movie with my friend. hee.. had a great time :] thx ar, if ya reading this. PS to orchard to marina bay then back home.
erm, its kinda scary, but it would worth the 8.50 more if u are a girl. :X
some parts of the show i guessed it correctly... lol.
judging from the movies available now, i think its worth watching. unless u like the incredibles so much... lol.
shant reveal spoilers here. but i still think the forgotten rawks. haha...
but this happened during their shooting: (the actress relates...)
'Once, we were doing trial runs for this driving scene where Tun was at the wheel and I was supposed to be talking to him,' she says of the scene shot in an area notorious for car-accident fatalities.
'We were supposed to have three acting extras dressed as ghosts standing at intervals along the road. My cue to talk was when the car had passed the first one,' she continues in an eerie tone of voice.
'When we passed the first actor, I started talking but I did not see the other two who were supposed to be there.'
When the car stopped, she asked the directors where the other two extras were and was told that all three had been in another van doing make-up all along.
but the scene was not used eventually.
saying 'cheese' is scary

Anyone here finds both mark lee and jack neo unbearable? please raise ya hand... i noe i did. I was having dinner and the 8pm show started. wanted to switch channel but well my 16yo-cheena-simple minded sister whined and warned me not to change channel. i was like 'wtf', u are willing to waste 1 hr of ya life watching the so-called 7th season of homegrown variety show.
Does mediacorp have any quality control? The show gets pple who are celebrity look-alike and went all the way to hunt for them in malaysia. in the end? all the 3 today dont even look like jackie chan, faye wong, celine dion as they proclaimed. and whats with jack neo finding problems understanding who's celine dion? is he so ignorant or hard of hearing? and whats with mark lee saying 'oh no, she dont look like celine dion, she looks like lion dion' -_-...???
to think jack neo opening up classes for scriptwriting when i had to shake my head in disbelief while watching his new drama adapted from his low budget movie 'the best bet'. Also, at the same time mark lee getting best comedian is nothing but a big joke of the century.
ya, they may have movies that go all the way to malaysia, hong kong, or even china, but they dont appeal to me... nice try for trying to make it big but i heard from my taiwanese friend that they stopped showing shows by jack neo team there cos they found it too boring and unoriginal. i rest my case.

a very nice song...
Rie Fu- Life Is Like A Boat (ending theme of Bleach)
Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who's gonna comfort me and keep me strong?
We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves will guide you through another day
Tooku de iki o shiteru
Toome ni natta mitai
Kurayami ni omoeta kedo
Mekaku shisareteta dake
(I know we have so far to go
Within the connections I see
Thoughts of darkness, and so
I adjust my mask of serenity)
Inori o sasagete
Atarashii hi o matsu
Asayaka ni hikaru umi
Sono hate made e
(I offer up a prayer
And wait for a new day
In the brilliance of the shining sea
Until there is a shore)
Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don't give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you will follow me and keep me strong
Hito no kokoro wa utsuri yuku
Mukedashitaku naru
Tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de
Fune o tsureteku
(People go fishing in their hearts
And have become deceitful
Again a new cycle of the moon
Brings someone into my heart)
And every time I see your face
The oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can see the shore
Ah, I can see the shore?
When will I see the shore?
I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along
I will follow you and keep you strong
Tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku
Odayaka na hi mo
Tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de
Fune o terashiasu
(Still, the journey continues on
Even on a gentle day
Again a new cycle of the moon
Sends a shine into my heart)
Inori o sasagete
Atarashii hi o matsu
Asayaka ni hikaru umi
Sono hate made e
(I offer up a prayer
And wait for a new day
In the brilliance of the shining sea
Until there is a shore)
And every time I see your face
The oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can see the shore
Unmei no mune o kogi

Dore mo suteki na tabi ne

yesterday i finally learnt not to take technology for granted... have you tried to download msn installation pack? on an average broadband/cable, it takes less than a min... but i had the chance to download using a 56k modem. and it took me an agonising 45 mins. plus using a com less than pentium two, installing what i downloaded was even more excruciating. have you wondered has technology made you a worse person? i know it did to me, i become less patient even though i still can tolerate waiting for pple, but to tolerate slow speed,i would definitely feel edgy.
Also, something struck my mind... how many of us actually store our friends' numbers elsewhere like writing them down? i am the few that relied on technology too much, i was wondering if i lost my phone then what abt my contacts... ya, u may say i can go online and ask the numbers from my friends again, or send an email. but that's technology again. i have cases where i only have numbers of my friends but no idea how to find them online, no email, etc...
Furthermore, how many of us would actually exercise especially when there are no more PE lessons? Sometimes, a simple jog or a trip to gym is hardly on the minds of busy working class and students. I have friends who go gym three times a week to tone their physique. It is also a form of disclipline which i am going to commit after my A lvls. May seem too late but u've got to start somewhere. So guys, remember to exercise despite your busy schdeule. Actually even if you have tons of things to complete, a few hrs of exercise will make you more alert and more productive. Like for me, mon chem paper, sun i had a few hours of volleyball, but i was energised and definitely more alert on mon.

yesterday i finally learnt not to take technology for granted... have you tried to download msn installation pack? on an average broadband/cable, it takes less than a min... but i had the chance to download using a 56k modem. and it took me an agonising 45 mins. plus using a com less than pentium two, installing what i downloaded was even more excruciating. have you wondered has technology made you a worse person? i know it did to me, i become less patient even though i still can tolerate waiting for pple, but to tolerate slow speed,i would definitely feel edgy.
Also, something struck my mind... how many of us actually store our friends' numbers elsewhere like writing them down? i am the few that relied on technology too much, i was wondering if i lost my phone then what abt my contacts... ya, u may say i can go online and ask the numbers from my friends again, or send an email. but that's technology again. i have cases where i only have numbers of my friends but no idea how to find them online, no email, etc...

[ 250. The One With GCE (A) lvls ]
yeah. after so long i finally can take a breather and blog. shall start with GP paper ba on 4 Nov, Thursday . i think it proved to be quite a shocking paper, or rather both papers to some of the students. cos the topics to choose frm didnt really fit wat we have studied and planned for.
This year strangely has only 1 social question and only 2 questions on singapore.
1. To what extent are the young in Singapore favoured at the expense of the elderly?
2. Are the poor an inevitable feature of any society?
3. Do the past and present offer any guidance for the future?
4. 'How inventions and discoveries are used is not the concern of the scientist.' Do you agree?
5. 'People, not the government, should decide how to organise their lives.' Is this a fair comment?
6. How far is recycling the answer to the problem of waste?
7. Can small countries have a significant voice in world affairs?
8. Advertising encourages a desire for products which people do not actually need. Discuss.
9. Have multi-national businesses had a positive or negative impact on your society?
10. Discuss the appeal and value of fantasy stories and films.
11. Discuss the importance of religion in society today.
12. 'Far too much attention is given to beauty products and treatments.' Do you agree?
phew... so wat would u choose? lucky i had a lot of examples that geared towards qn 9 abt MNCs. i wasted 15 mins at first doing essay plan for the poverty question... then i changed so wasted quite some time... somemore i was sitting in the first row and the fan kept blowing in my direction. contacts so dry and burr... so cold.
lucky not many people do the same question as me...
well, just when we think paper 1 was hard, paper 2 even harder... Passage 1 about choices. Passage 2 about destiny... so philosophical type of passages.
'Alongside the increased prosperity which is gradually, but all too slowly, spreading across the world, has been a movement (arguably not unconnected with this increase) away from centralised, totalitarian forms of government towards democracies...'
What is the author trying to imply by 'arguably not unconnected with this increase'?
-_- most of the questions now asking what the author trying to mean, what contrast, contradiction they tried to show. the effort and skill to rephrase the idea with your own words are so different from O lvl where you can substitute word for word.
but overall, i think i fare better than my prelims :] so pray hard i can prove my GP tutor that he's wrong to fail me all these while. haha.
then it was chem paper on 8 Nov, Monday . The paper easier than prelim and i think i did quite ok. juz that the food chemistry was kinda tough cos i missed out studying the colour of meat. 3 marks gone :( praying for an A for chem...
then came today the most-headache day of my life. 9 Nov, Tuesday . Biology core paper in the morning from 8-10am and then maths paper 1 from 2-5pm.
oh, i was almost late today cos i missed the bus 86. so have to take 159 and have to walk a long distance cos the back gate wasnt open... holiday le still dun wan to open... i had to run quite far to the front gate. but there was this very kind lady who was driving and she stopped and lowered the window. 'Hey, you want me to give you a ride to your school?' i was stunned but nevertheless, the gesture really touched me. but i dun wan to trouble her so i thanked her and continue running. i felt so delighted and it really made my day. even though i reached school 5 mins b4 the paper, not having enough time to read my notes, i still felt quite good.
the paper was quite ez, there was no question that was too hard to answer. but the easier the paper, the more prone i am in making careless mistakes. lucky i didnt study so hard for bio, cos a lot of stuff didnt come out. but sad that i also didnt spend much time studying maths...
i went to have a volleyball game on sun, the day before my chem paper. lol. ya many would think i am crazy. but it really relieved stress for me... and last minute cramming no use, cos what i read at night never came out for exam...
then yesterday also went to play a bit wif my friend. started reading bio only like 8pm. lol. but i got all my notes ready so juz nid to read again.
maths paper was ok. supposedly an ez paper but as usual, my maths so lousy that even ez questions i also have problems. only paper 2 can save me. so now i have 6 days to practise.
i was so tired after bio, i had to take a nap and woke up like 12+ to study for maths. quite surprised i still able to survive the paper even though i didnt memorise much of the formula. mentally drained
now that half of the heavy papers are done with, i am more relaxed. so now shall take a short break and relax myself for such a hectic day today. who put biology and maths on the same day should be shot! those taking physics only have more time to prepare. cos physics is next week! :(
