damn tired

i dont know why, the weekends seem really short now. i woke up late on saturday so i ended up accidentaly ponning the physics mock exam with lihao to mug. oldham wing is like really quiet on saturday morning, very good to study, except it might get a bit hot if theres no wind.



later that day i had the worst tuition session ever. i wasnt prepared for physics of fluids at all since i didnt attend any lecture on it and was just damn lost throughout the lesson. then there was ds's party after that, socializing with his 50 poly friends was quite a failure, lol. but it was still quite fun la, we went to his clubhouse and played stupid games from 10 to midnight after his friends left.

people are all drinking stuff in the photos since i took them in the clubhouse where we went to buy drinks cause all there was at ds's party was 100plus which ran out pretty quickly.



sorry xing, your picture couldnt be uploaded for some reason, its corrupted cause you're too handsome.


so i when i slept at 2 last night, i set my alarm for 1030 cause i intended to do quite a lot of work today, but i just slept right through. only woke up at 1, 2 hours behind my revision schedule. sigh, at least i got some good rest so i can mug later tonight.






















































um, i like to eat yong tau foo? haha

law school

the university fair on wednesday was pretty enlightening, mainly because at least 1 member of the acjc alumni studying and working in nus as professors in most of the popular courses came down to share their experiences with us. i discovered a few things that day:

1. its not going to be easy to get into law school
2. neither is it going to be hard if i posses the qualities they are looking for
3. i dont really know if i have the qualities they seem to value
4. if you graduate with third class honours from nus law fac you cant practice law in singapore
5. theres always business school

today when i told en hua that i wanted to go to law school the first thing he told me was that i was going to hell, "all lawyers go to hell" he said. at that moment guanyi was passing by and overheard our conversation, so he said something like "you know you need 3A's to get in right?" as if i couldnt get it. sigh, everyone thinks im not serious about my studies cause im goofing around all the time, but i really am, i just dont want to turn it into a dreadful, boring activity.

i dont think its hard to get 3A's, seeing that i have tuition for every subject now. furthermore, all kinds of random people get 3A's, its not really all that as exclusive and glorious as getting 7A's or something. but still, i realize i have to mug, very very hard.

so today i was walking with my classmates from the NL to the EL because our chem tutor told us that our class was at NL5 when it was actually at EL5. well, i havent been to the NL like this entire year, so i was telling dx, the NL is like some rural village, cut off from society, but then again there lies the allure of living in it. At that moment we saw wayzee using the grass patch next to the NL to go to the EL, so in the context of what i just told dx, it was pretty funny. he was like jungle bashing through from one rural village to the next. and i dont even think dx heard me, because all this while he was like lost in his thoughts or something. ah well, i realize that the entire paragraph doesnt even sound as vaguely funny as i make it out to be, you have to be in that situation to appreciate it.

24 more days

Photos:

im so proud of this artistic shot i took today, cool eh? it was taken from the far end of buona vista mrt station facing biopolis, the mix of clouds and urban landscape is so, breathtaking. haha

ok you must forgive me, i mean like i know photo blogging is lame, but its so much easier to do especially since im so busy with exam prep..

but i like school more these days, revising isnt as tough as learning new stuff. actually, i cant believe im into my last semester of formal schooling. gosh, im gonna miss ac so much... but i sure of one thing, im gonna enjoy my school life while it lasts :)

hie its been a long time

um after such a long break, it seems so abrupt to start blogging again like this, without so much as an attempt to even explain my absence. but who cares.

so like im testing my new phone camera on my blog. ok la no, actually i just want something to blog about.

last friday after half day school before whole evening dota!

starbucks

vic and lihao

clemens and my shoe

lol. ok, study hard peeps!!

3 A'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO CZECH!

woo hoo! world cup!!!

for those who dont know, my world cup revolves around this:


oh no i didnt really bet $100 on that oh-so-close england match, i put $50 and my mum put $50. we're like betting partners :) so i won $20 on england and 10mins ago i won another $33.50 from the $50 i put on Czech Republic!!great match, it really was. i think i'm a new fan of the czechs, they simple rock.

so like i discovered i only bet on alternate days, maybe cause on alternate days the matches are safer... im not even betting on brazil tmr cause i have a gut feeling of a draw. but thats just me, most people (i.e qing) are blowing their entire life savings on brazil tmr, all the best to them :)

so far i've made $50 in 3days, so doubling that i estimate about $100 per week. hopefully i can make $500 by the end of the world cup!! next match, spain versus ukraine!

omg omg omg its the 2nd day of the 2nd week of the holidays and its 6/6/6 only 2 weeks and 5 days left to mug AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goal today: Finish food chem and quantum tys. and also score against qing's arsenal/england in fifa.

first week

many photos

so i was feeling quite sick and was gonna throw up and all that stuff because of something i drank or something so quincy gave me a lift home even though he would have to face a 2hour drive home from my house. thanks quincy!!

night driving. hoo!

i originally intended to post like, pics of acs idol up here too but i dont know why i cant upload them after i already put all these pics up. maybe theres a quota or something, or its just god's will that i finish the post here and do my quantum physics prelim questions. so look out for acs idol pics next!

CRAP. the formatting for the last picture is screwed. i dont know what i did. but the format always screws up once i put pics in. anyone who knows how to solve this problem? its pissing me off.. everytime i try and post pictures its like that

life
so many things have happened.. i really wanted to blog about them but too many things have happened.. they seem to have happened so long ago (sorry for using "happen" so much la i cant blog when im playing dota). but im still quite motivated to blog. its like i havent blogged for so long, but i dont really have time, seeing that i've been out everyday since the start of holidays. gosh i really should get down to work, so far all i've done is 5hours of physics on monday. i think ill start some work tonight...

smo
smo today was ok lor... like everyone only did like 15 questions and i answered 20, although im quite sure most of them are wrong since its like, super hard. i think if i get 5 correct im happy already. in fact, i think if u get 5 correct u'll get bronze medal, hahaha.

omg sean ng is back from the states
so like if you've all been wondering why the weather is so bad lately and everything seems so dark and lethargic, dont worry, its just the usual signs of sean ng's return.. but then again im always happy to see my good old sec4 friends, i think we're the only sec4 class who still regularly keeps in touch lor! massive 4a3 reunion this holidays! all must come!

so left my cam with sean ng when i went out with him that day and forgot to take it back even though i met him yesterday.. sian, must remember to take it back from him tomorrow before i go for the class outing!!

um, maybe ill blog more tmr? lol. enjoy your hols and study hard friends!

ahhhh im like not blogging at all anymore! too busy now, i cant wait for this term to end. but then again, i can (i think i just want bowling nationals to be over
, but its not like i hate bowling. i still love the sport, just that it feels really awkward to go to training but not train. when i recover ill train after A levels and at least make an impact in inter-club league since i can no longer do it in A div's)...... time flies too fast, i cant imagine that i only have 6 months left in ac. i wanna stay longer :(

um, i think ill blog on friday, about the class outing. yah

theres some dumb b grade horror flick on channel 5 now. but i think its quite funny, like this guy falls into a hole in the ground and when he wakes up he's surrounded my corpses and the show gets even more stupid from there. luckily, i've stopped watching it. (but this would probably be a fun movie to watch a movie marathon cause its one of those dumb movie marathon movies)

so i did quite ok for my math test. but im sad, because i only did quite ok. nevermind, no one's gonna understand.

i really want my scholastic merit award, and im really busy this term, but i guess i've learnt how to handle it. i shouldnt spend my jc life waiting for shit to be over because its shit and i want to go over with it, jc life's too short for that. i want to enjoy every moment of it, so that when i look back ill know that i made the best of it and have nothing to regret.

then, im really looking forward to monday. sa1 and se1 with gary chan outing. hahahahahahahaha.

IPhO!!

i went for the international physics olympiad astro night briefing with mr ho just now. firstly, i was very suprised by how little publicity had been put into the fact that we are hosting an international olympiad which will probably never come to singapore again in at least 50 years. so like for 10 days in july, the average iq of singapore will increase by 100 or something.

i like to see passionate people go about passionately doing whatever they have a passion for. not like the kind of "i need to work hard cause if not ill fail" passion, but the "omg i like doing physics i get turned on by it and stuff". i hope i find my passion soon. lol

so anyways, people who want to go for IPhO astronomy night come and find me ill try and ask if u can be put in last minute. its gonna be super fun cause its like 3pm on friday till 1am the next morning and most people will stay till 6am cause its impossible to go home at 1am and they are gonna turn off all the lights at the ntu campus and army camp around it throughout the night so no one who doesnt wanna get raped by a pack of wild dogs is gonna try walking the 1km journey out. the only downside of this is that its like on 14th july or something, so its like 3 weeks from prelims. but mr ho said "1 less day of mugging is not gonna make a difference".

ok, off to finish tutorial 32.

i really dont mean to be so cynical today

bye bye ds. cya on 10 april, have a good mission trip in phillipines. god will use you to bring a blessing to the people in ulu-land. i will pray for you and your mission trip buddies that god will keep you safe and have a good trip. may god change your lives and the lives you touch through this journey. maybe i should go on a mission trip in december too, it might be refreshing from singapore. like i might actually meet sincere people in these rural villages, unlikes those in singapore.

i think chicken rice war is a nice show. i like these kind of shows where the loser gets the babe. but we all know that never happens in real life. social rejects and the dregs of society, no one cares about them or their existence. pierre png acted really well in that show, like he was speaking in shakespere language for 3/4 of the show too, that is really hard. zhihuan is right sometimes, its so sad, that nice guys finish last.

things to do in coming week:
1. read the tempest before i watch it
2. be nice to zhihuan
3. try and start studying chemistry

i think i can do it

yay. things are getting better, i have gained some momentum in my mugging and can now solve most math TYS standard questions.

but then i can only do j2 work since my j1 works SUCKS and im so busy with j2 work that i cant begin my j1 revision and i would probably only be able to start j1 revision in june when its too late and then i wont be well prepared for prelims but why am i worrying about this terms have just ended shouldnt i give myself a break no i cant because so many of my classmates are mugging already i feel compelled to mug oh crap that means i dont have a break till 17nov but who cares i need to get my grades or get owned singapore is like that you make it or they break you wait wait why are there no periods in this paragraph i dont know either maybe im trying to turn all my expression errors in gp into just one big big one so that i wont get penalized so much haha thats not funny at all.

oh no im sick again. this is the 2nd time in a month i've fallen ill. maybe my immune system is really that weak.. falling sick sucks, it feels so horrible.

so even though im not in school my friends have been updating me on my term exam results. i guess i did better than expected for math and gp. but im quite disappointed with my physics score. ohwell, at least i dont have a single F. i must still work harder in term 2 and 3 :)

ok, back to sleep. hopefully ill be well enough to go to school tomorrow

on my way home today i saw an accident. it was damn horrible. you couldnt even tell what vehicles were involved in it till u looked closely. it was just a big mess of metal and glass. hope the drivers were ok, but the ambulance was still at the scene when my bus went pass, so the driver's injuries cant have been that bad. or maybe the ambulance driver just wasnt happy that he didnt get a pay raise or something... ok nevermind not funny to joke about these issues

in other matters:
zhihuan is a fucking hypocrite. please stop telling people how badly you're gonna fail and how your single digit mark will be the the cube root of theirs when you get fucking distinctions man. zhihuan has inspired me to mug, i shall attend more chem lectures from now on and beat him. but ponning chem lectures to eat prata with banana and honey is so much more fun lor. like seriously, i think eating prata is more constructive than attending chem. ohwells, i better learn to love the subject or ill never do well in it.

holiday

Bowling camp (mon-wed)
well, bowling camp was actually great! i thought it would be really stoned for me cause i didnt know many bowlers while most of them knew each other already, but it wasnt that bad at all. i think we can attribute this to the fact that ac bowlers are generally nice and easy to get along with. hahah. and god also blessed me because he put me in the same room of keith, gaius and joel, cause like i already know keith and gaius.. and joel is so friendly anyways.

so all-in-all it was kinda like orientation! there were alot of team bonding games and only 2 hours of training. but i guess the camp was meant more for team bonding than skill training... ill always remember sin chew hor fun and playing asshole tai ti and drinking stupid concoctions and making augustin run into the golf course lake at 1am :))

when augustine ran to the pond kenneth followed him to video it or something but when augustine came back kenneth was missing then we were all like "omgwtf he went missing" for a moment. but later on we realized he just went to some other people's room for awhile.

on the last day and my only complete day in camp (cause i had to go back to school for SRS on tuesday), we had this amazing race. got grouped with augustin, joyce and meaghan. sigh, i told augustin that we should try out best to win it lor, but we spent too much time in occ poolside, so we were the last team...until we reached the war memorial. every group got stuck there because of some stupid clue which no one could solve. then after that like 12 of us got into meaghan's car to go to botanical gardens, it was so squeezy joel actually had to stand in the car, lol. so in the end we were tied last with like 3 other groups so it didnt matter.

actually, i felt that amazing race was more team breaking than bonding, but nevermind, i shall not speak of it. we were all damn screwed and tired out after that. but kenny, debby, clarence and marc really did a good job with the games in school. like there was this game where we have to get the whole team through a hula hoop which was raised like 1m up, juliana fell through the hoop her group had to carry her through and gaius just jumped right through it lol.

Doc's appointment (thurs)
the bone scan finally showed what was causing the pain. in medical terms i have greater trochanter bursitis of the left femoral shaft and the distal epiphysis of the left femur. in layman terms, im F*King screwed. my bowling career is shattered. this injury prevented me from training from november to march and now i have to lay off bowling till june. this means i wont be able to bowl A divs (actually i dont think i would have been more than a reserve even if i didnt get this diagnosis because not training from november to march screwed my bowling).

sigh, i dont know why and how i got this injury, but i know its messing up my life. hope i heal soon...

Mugging (fri-sun)
mugging was really bad. i couldnt concentrate. i was telling qing how dumb this was, at the start of the year i told myself ill mug damn hard for terms and get my AAA and then everything will be smooth sailing. then halfway through the term i realized i wasnt even doing work so i changed my target to ABC. now ill be happy if i can manage a CCC.

Physics (today)
oh it wasnt that bad after all. but i really dont know, i think i lost like 12 marks so far but i really wont know how i did till i get my results back. and my chem= confirm fail, i shouldnt have ponned all those lectures after all... im still debating whether i should just sacrifice chem and mug for math so i can get like.. C for it. gosh my life is sad, i shouldnt even be aiming for C's.

ok bye people. im going to hell tomorrow. nah just kidding im going for bowling camp but i can tell its gonna be damn stoned cause i dont know that many bowlers. but ill make the best of it, cause i dont think im going to be in bowling for very long :(

i hope wednesday comes soon.

i want to start this post with a prayer. DEAR GOD, I HOPE YOU LET MARCUS AND JARED BACK INTO ACJC, THEY HAVE NO CCA'S TO APPEAL IN WITH AND ARE JUST HOLDING ON TO THE FAITH THAT YOU HAVE TAUGHT US TO HAVE IN YOU. I AM SURE THEY WILL WORK HARD AND BRING GLORY TO YOUR NAME WHEN THEY COME BACK. AMEN

The Bottom Line
You will stop being overwhelmed as soon as you trim back your jam-packed schedule.
In Detail
The urge to hibernate has hit all of us, but the way you're feeling now, you're not only in the mood to get away from the maddening crowd, you're also in desperate need of some quality time alone. In addition, it's just about time for you to start dishing out a few surprises in return -- the way others have been tossing them your way, that is. A day with the phone turned off just might do it.



gosh, it really is horribly accurate...
