opportunity cost

yes, opportunity cost. i still remember what that means from my 1st 3 months econs education. so we can say that the opportunity cost of the worldview (or globalview, i forgot what its called) conference is my term exam grades. it would have been a really good experience had i gone for it. but oh well...

so after talking to lots of people on what i should do i concluded that i wasnt good enough to handle the revision and the commitment of the event at the same time. i gave up the opportunity of a lifetime, but if you know me well enough, theres nothing new about that. what is another opportunity given up when i have already messed up so much?

i better study for terms, or i will hate myself, i will turn into a zhihuan. i gave up the conference for terms, i must do well.

ok enough depressive ranting, i shall move on to how wonderful yesterday was. like after school i watched acs barker come back from 0-13 to beat some neighbourhood school quite badly. and after the game i went to the canteen where some classmates were talking about (lol, nevermind). shag shoot & marry sucks when you have 3 horrible people to choose from, like you'd wanna shoot all 3, but i guess if you were given people whom you distinctly know whether to shag shoot or marry then it wont be so fun anymore cause people can just guess who you'd choose.

and arts night was a blast! why doesnt the science council organise fun stuff like this? like all they do is peer tutoring, its boring and gay. oh but i shouldnt be saying that because i probably need the tutoring just to pass. nevermind, now that lihao and i are in science council we will revolutionize it and make it cool :) we will catalyze the irreversible 1-step self propogating reaction that will rock the science fac!!

hahahahahahahahahahahah. study hard friends :)

im sick of everything.

wtf is this
why am i here
what am i doing
where am i going
who is this
who am i
im confused
im sick
im sick
im sick.

i just woke up after a 12 hour long nap and im still tired. bloody jc life is really too intensive, but who cares about that, its still fun :))

so when i turned on the TV just now there was this documentary on the capture of saddam hussein, it was a re-enactment of a conversation between him and an iraqi interpreter on the night just after his capture, while they were walking from his underground bunker back to the jeeps, during which saddam kept looking at the sky.
the iraqi interpreter ran away to the US years ago when his family got murdered or something horrible by saddam.

Iraqi interpreter : Look at the sky, the beautiful stars, you'll never see them again. We're going to lock you up in a prison in cuba and you'll be there till you die.
Saddam : I am not looking at the stars, I am looking for Allah.
Iraqi interpreter: You dont know Allah, you killed all those people
Saddam : I am saddam hussein, I am a hero, of course I know Allah.
Me (on my sofa watching this) : wtf??!!

But i guess alot of people are like that too. They think they know their god when actually they dont. Think about it.

18th on the 18th

XVIII was so fun. Met so many friends, srjc friends, barker friends, and alumni today. I shall remember today for the rest of my life. Dunking is like the uber revenue generator, its the least effort-most rewards option for all carnival games, cause it capitalizes on the crowds sadism and we have no lack of that since this is AC, lol.

went for 3 out of the 4 haunted houses. the first one we went to was the only one worth going. Like at least there was a decent scary atmosphere in the LT6 one, the rest were just.... comedies. i think the scone cafe was even more scary than all the haunted houses put together, like we went in at 9am and saw the decor, we suddenly felt like doing nothing else but mug. so creepy lor, like they can make visitors to their cafe get the sudden urge to finish their TYS in the cafe.

Although this is my 4th carnival, it was the first one which i actually made a purphase from the supermarket. i bought 3 nice AC ring files for $10 from the souvenior shop. Now i have proper files for Physics, Chem and Math!

theres like a load more stuff to write about, but i am just too tired. maybe tomorrow, haha.

honest intent

i feel like i've travelled through singapore today, went to so many places to sell $80 worth of tickets. but its all worth it, i will do it for my school.

11 years of ac education has finally worked on me, i am raising money with all my effort for the school. remember the ac tradition, we inherit this great heritage, legacy, facilities, only to make it richer and more full for future generations to enjoy, like what the previous generations have done for us.

but i was a bit shocked when i saw the desecration, the vadalism, the horrid defilement of the barker campus we so loved. what have the juniors done? dont they realise that they are destroying what we worked so hard for? i guess they are still young and too dumb too realise how dumb they are.

but going back to hougang bowl today was fun. met my 1st 3 months bowling friends like ben and yiling, and also keith from ac barker. he was sent to srjc like me, but like me also, he will return to ac soon :)

3 days left, just keep selling

red roses

valentines day



lol

white or blue?

so i told myself that i must not hate chem, but mug harder for it instead. cannot get 3/20 again, its too demoralizing.

finished like 1 tutorial and 3 chapters of organic chem revision this weekend, so im feeling quite accomplished. i mean like most of my classmates have been playing games online the whole weekend and i actually mugged! great.

today was really funny too. i went to taka with zh(zhi huan) to buy stuff and when we were horsing around(ok seriously we were buying acrylic paint for zhihuan) in art friend we met the other zh(zheng hao), so coincidential. then later on i met paul teng at the art shop opposite art friend too, today is like.. "oh what a small world it is" day.

i am so looking forward to tomorrow, when we journey to SP to sell our fun o rama coupons for 2 hours and spend the other 6 playing lan yay!

the outlook for next week is a good one, save tuesdays.

lalalala la la

i suddenly hate chemistry. i mean like why should anyone even like halogen derivatives or weird stuff like that?

i dont even regret skipping 2/3 of the lectures for the latest topic. stupid stupid chemistry, i dont even know why i hate it so much now. but i used to hate physics, and now i like it so much more than chem. its not so memory intensive, physics is a concept thing, while chem is just gay.

then theres all these people saying that i have gone crazy... cause i am joining everything. but please understand, at the end of last year i looked back at my jc1 life, and realised that all i had were regrets, things i wished i could do better, and nothing to be proud of. so i told myself, you dumb shit, wake up ur idea and change your life while you still have 1 more year to do so. get it now? so please stop questioning my sanity for joining the NTU current affairs quiz, engineering quiz, science and mathematics council, various scholarship talks and the motivation to mug harder than ever in class.

oh crap it really does look like a lot of sutff that i've joined now that i look back at it. hah, but i suppose thats a good thing.
