wah…late last night already kena april fooled by huiyan.
this morning again by helen, then by huiyan again. =.=

anyways, i think i’m finally getting a hang of chem and physics. i’m still kinda lost for math, especially for tutorial 3b.

i earned my first active participation point today! it was quite easy. i just said a few words (5 to be exact) for econs. haha.

i taught bin ming and zhao peng how to play bridge today. zhao peng learnt it pretty fast. it took bin ming quite a while before he manage to understand the game. anyways, now that they know how to play bridge, i can finally have something fun to do during breaks.

i travelled home the unconventional way again with zhao peng and bin ming. don’t know what made me do it. this will be the last time though. i’m tired of walking such a long distance back home from the station.

shoutbacks!

what a looooong day

school has been a long and taxing one. still haven’t completed my PI for pw. going to brainstorm later…

anyways, cultural studies was really funny today. after the girls left for the survey, the guys started to mess around with the teacher, asking for translations for dirty words in malay. they asked indirectly at first but when failed to get the attention of the teacher, they went all out. the teacher didn’t know what horny meant. so he was like…trying to dissect the word to understand its meaning. he was going…”horny..? what is that. horn..? nee? horn-nee. i will try to look up the word in dictionary first”.

then he found out they were being dirty-minded. some guy told him that his friend scolded him “panchee” (or whatever. i can’t really remember it now) and asked for the meaning of it. and the teacher’s response..? you wouldn’t have guessed it… he said he know the meaning in chinese and it’s the “cb” word. he acutally said it out loud and that was really funny. anyways, halfway through the lesson, chiu ping, shermaine and i decided to escape from the lesson. we conveniently used the excuse that we had a chem test. then we went to the canteen to play bridge. (yes. shuyi, we’re addicted!)

during pw, there was this super sarcastic teacher. the whole level was practically against her. she’s kinda creepy when she smiles while at the same time being extremely sarcastic. her accent is also highly disturbing. i’m not faulting anyone though. in the end, pw got extended to 5:30pm. 50% longer that is. and it was pouring heavily outside, so i decided to wait until the rain stops. while waiting, huiyan taught me math tutorial. she’s damn smart lah. got cdayl still can understand everything. lol.

okay. i’ll stop blabbering now. i can feel something calling me to hurry up and click “Publish”. it’s ok if the rest of you don’t understand what i’m trying to say. i’m sure that thing will. xD

HuiyanZ // woah…blog down. i thought u so fast kena hacked by an slo. haha. anyways, i’ve seen yr post. u sounded quite pissed with them. but i think they’ll understand lah. i think u won’t receive hatemails..so just relax.

kahwang // yea. nvm i got used to him already…haha.

Shuyi // haha. i know but i still prefer calling her cheating for the sake of convenience. and yes. of course we are!

=) // calling me n00b on my blog..? tired of living is it..? haha. u thing.

bridgemate // yea hopefully. i just finished my proposal. hope everything goes well.

TGIF

i had a splitting headache in the morning. i could feel some sort of crazy thumping inside my head. it was really bad. perhaps it was because of the lack of sleep last night — i spent almost 3 hours thinking about PI for pw. well, i thought of many so-so ideas, but i kept fearing that they wouldn’t be feasible. in the end, i was back to square one.

thank God it’s friday! it’s the much awaited day of the week! finally i can have time to actually relax a little, catch up with the tutorials and most importantly, COMPLETE MY PI!

nick and i went to see mr koh regarding the proposal today. it went pretty well but not exactly how we’d expected it to be. mr koh was thinking more along the lines of business and profits whereas we just want it to operate simply as a CCA. anyways, i thought his ideas were pretty interesting and entrepreneur-ish. it’s gonna be a pretty long process before we can succeed as we’re expected to prepare more detailed proposals and hold more discussion meetings etc.. all’s looking well at the moment, and that’s the only thing that matters for now.

mr mak is a great tutor. he’s also happens to be an old boy of acs. =) oh yea there was a gp test today. it was damn hard can! have to paraphrase for every single question!! killed a hell lot of my brain cells.

as usual, we (today is bin ming, cheating and cheating’s friend and i) played bridge during the break. bridge is addictive, what more can i say..?

i met vicky today. she’s my ex-classmate from zhangde. and i saw adelene in the canteen after pc today. she said she came back because she missed jjc i think.

unknown // *vomits*.

Tommy // yea. haha.

One Republic – Come Home

One Republic - Come Home

Hello world
Hope you’re listening
Forgive me if I’m young
For speaking out of turn
There’s someone I’ve been missing
I think that they could be
The better half of me
They’re in their own place trying to make it right
But I’m tired of justifying
So i say you’ll..

Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there’s a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
So come home

I get lost in the beauty
Of everything i see
The world ain’t as half as bad
As they paint it to be
If all the sons
If all the daughters
Stopped to take it in
Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
It might start now
Well maybe I’m just dreaming out loud
Until then

Everything i can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why i need you here
Everything i can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why i need you here
So hear this now

i want to learn how to play this on the piano. it’s a really nice song. =)

dinner @ tiong

i’m not going to talk abt school today cos it’s really tiring and boring!

so i’m going to talk about dinner with zhao peng, shermaine, cheating, cheating’s friend and another guy (who is a friend of zhao peng, shermaine, cheating and cheating’s friend). ok. i’m lame. it’s chin ting, and chin ting’s friend is kelly (am i right..?). lols.

okays. we went to kfc @ tiong bahru plaza for dinner. personally, i don’t like KFC food. but for the sake of the ges sec ppl, i just followed them. on the way to tiong, we played bridge on the bus. (that just goes to show how addicted we are to bridge) lol.

shermaine, chin ting and even kelly are so suanning. (gosh i dunno what that’s suppose to mean). what i’m trying to say is they’re damn bad de. (and they’re probably going to kill me after they read this. =.=)

anyways, for those of you who don’t know, i’m quite a fan of jay chou (and of cos linkin park!). after the scrumptious dinner, we went to that cd shop to look for jay chou albums. we searched and searched and searched and can’t find the one we wanted. so we went up to mj to look for it. we ended up back at that cd shop again. =.= after searching for almost an hour (that’s what chin ting announced), we managed to find it. it was right in front of the counter lor!! wth. anyways, in the end, i bought simple plan, jamie scott & the town, and faith hill (conveniently chosen by chin ting, shermaine and zhao peng cos there’s a 3 for $49.90 discount) and that jay chou album.

okay. it was nice having dinner with them. =)

PI woes

damn you, PI!

i decided to settle down to write my PI last night (finally). 2 long hours i spent…penning down my PI like a caveman. in the end, i wrote a really crappy one that would probably get the lowest score..guess i’ll have to redo it.. =(

got some pretty useful flyers from the PW exhibition. got very useful (but also scary) advice from the seniors too. PW seems to be a very hard paper…

there was a math test today, and i flunked it. only 3 ppl in the class managed to solve the question i think. we’re quite pathetic right..? it’s time for me to revise my work.

school

i apologise for not blogging as often as before. this is mostly because of the hectic school life and lousy mood that i’ve been having. =(

anyways, allow me to take this time to emo a little. haha.
alright… i would like to thank my friends for the emotional support that they’ve given me. without them, i would be feeling very down. =)

just some updates: my pw group is out. i don’t know if it’s a bad thing or not — members = alex. alvin, li jie, jia jie and me. i’m now working on my second pi draft! yay.

i’ve been flunking tests like there’s no tomorrow. it’s bad. really bad. i’ve got no motivation to study. but nevertheless, i’m going to try harder from now on. hopefully it’ll get better. after all the best is yet to be… haha!

shoutbacks!

qiao yi // thanks! and no — your blog is not boring at all. =)) as far as i know, it’s way more interesting than mine…haha. *goes to visit your blog*

words of…(ahem) wisdom.

- The first step in solving a problem is to admit you have one.

- The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

anyways, zhao peng…i found out the answer as to why are the buttons of female’s shirt on the left and the buttons of male’s shirt on the right.

It dated back to a tradition long long ago when women were dressed by their handmaidens. Buttons on the left side makes it easier for the handmaidens to fasten as compared to buttons on the right.

chem test today…i did okay i guess. ahh..still have math test on wednesday. x_x

qiao yi // all the best to you too! haha. =)

food court musical (improv everything)

okay. this is one very entertaining video i saw on youtube.

From http://www.ImprovEverywhere.com, 16 agents create a spontaneous musical in a food court in a Los Angeles mall. Using wireless microphones and the mall’s PA system, both their voices and the music was amplified throughout the food court. All cameras were hidden behind two-way mirrors and other concealed structures.

so tired.

splitting headache…dizziness…feels like i’m floating midair. it’s definitely not a good feeling to experience. my mind is so messed up that i hope i can sleep for decades without ever waking up…

this sucks!

Edited: Wednesday, 23 April 20087:59 pm

feeling much better

i’m feeling so much better now. perhaps it’s mostly due to the panadol tablets i popped in my mouth every now and then…haha. so don’t be surprised if u find me in the obituaries tomorrow due to overdosage.

anyway, i had 3 tests today!! — chem spa, math test and gp timed common assessment.

mdm lim was pretty mad at me for postponing the originally-supposed-to-be-lecture test repeatedly. crap..i’ve just created a bad impression.

i ponned pc today cos i still feel pretty weak – physically, that is. i’ve never had an illness of such magnitude before…i believe it’s more of the effect of psychological turmoil.

alright alright…instead of continuing to whine about my mental status (which i’m quite sure u are dying not to know), i would rather involve myself in more productive work…such as improving on my PI, writing the proposal for bridge club etc…

anyways, i’ll be going back to ac tomorrow to collect my o level cert and i’ll be meeting eugene there. =)) long time since we last met. i’ll probably be hanging around to watch the jjc rugby match there too, and to get mr mak to comment on my PI. haha.

PI frenzy!

my 2nd draft came back with quite a lot of annotations….which is a bad thing. damn…i’ve gotta work on it till god knows what time..

didn’t go to school today cos i wasn’t feeling well. i went to school specially to collect my PI, which is due tomorrow. *headache..*

better start working now…..wish me luck!

Edited: Monday, 28 April 20086:09 pm

rojak.

i wish school everyday could be as slack as today. lessons ended at 11:30am. audrey lim was with the council members in chengdu, and mr mak cancelled the 1.5hour physics tutorial.

there was some express library booth set up today and i was called up to man it….i manned it for whole 2 hours out of sheer boredom. hey. it wasn’t too bad….it was kinda fun actually….playing with the barcode scanner. lols!

at 1 plus, zhao peng, shermaine and i headed to jp for lunch (out of boredom, again). we bought sushi at ichiban sushi and then had double cheeseburgers at mac. then we started mugging for a short while but failed terribly cos it was simply too noisy. we started cracking racist jokes cos there was this huge group of indians sitting in front of us making a huge din. although we were speaking in CHINESE, i think he had the feeling we were badmouthing them cos he appeared quite pissed and kept looking in our direction. haha. who cares..?

FINALLY, PI submitted today. one less worry for PW!

mich & qiao yi // haha. finally no more PI to worry over! xD

happy kelly and her chawan mushi (whatever it’s spelt as).

shermaine and chin ting in an artistic shot. my idea. xD
