back from hiatus...

2008-05-03T22:41:00.005+08:00

Hello, i am back with more pictures. Well, not too many though. JC life is exciting. Woot... Haha, quite random. Okay, back to actual business... Hmm...

There was faculty head elections last week. So the new Artemis Fac Head is Tay Ming Yang and Deputy Fac Head is Tan Lian Seng. Wooohooo, congrats to them !! Hope they will lead the faculty to greater heights =)

Went to IMRE for my orientation meeting with my research mentor for my H3 project. Haha, looking forward to the commencement of research work. Cool, will be able to work with cutting-edge technology. Yay. Hope I will be able to obtain a distinction for my H3 !! But there's lots of background research and dry research work to do. Ok, H3 FTW !!!

Okay, the following weeks will be much more fun i guess. There's choir concert, dance night and JTS. AND i am going for all of them. Woot, a night of fun and enjoyment. =) Anyway, my apologies to Wei Han, Libo and Jeremy for not being able to go attend the guitar concert. =(

Ok, now for some pictures...

Lol, this cloud is weird, it is erected...

Peking duck by Zhou Ang !! (very nice, whole class kept eating)
Jhun Boon indulging in the food...
Ok, he's savouring it now... The weather is so hot that the strawberry flavouring from the pokky stick melted just after seconds after it was exposed to the sun !!!

Ok, that's all,

Have a nice day,

Wei Pin

back with more pictures to show !!

2008-04-24T22:01:00.003+08:00

Hey guys, haven't been blogging for quite a long time le. Haha, but actually I also don't know what to blog about leh. I quite lazy to narrate what happened. Quite tired everyday also, don't know why, perhaps the amount of energy i left has an inverse relationship with the days that i spend in college.

Ok bah, lazy to type a lot too, so show one or two pictures, I guess you guys are also lazy to read the words. Haha, ok, first up fac outing pictures (07S69 & 08S69 won best dressed CT):
08S69 dressed in bathrobes (with our CT, Ms. Liew, inside too )
Quick change - all bathrobes gone (07S69 & 08S69)
Adeline calling someone for our survey for PW during PW session !!!
Adriel posing outside of classroom; took a candid shot of him
Fogging in school, the smell sucks

Ok, i guess that's about all. Haha, quite short... Will try to blog when i have the time.

Cya,

Wei Pin

bored at the moment...

2008-04-10T17:42:00.003+08:00

Boohooo, nothing to do now, so just blog bah. Haha. Aiya, also nothing much to blog about. But let me think of something to blog about....

Oh yah, haha. Had GP test yesterday, wrote on the topic "Objective reporting is a myth. To what extent is this true of the mass media". I am not really confident of my arguments leh but never mind la, already taken the test.

Will be having math test on Monday. I also need to edit my PI so that I can score higher marks ! Hmm, still need practise math. Wonder if i have enough time to do mah. Well, let it be bah ! =)

Oh well, just remembered that I have to spend the most amount of money this month !!! Take a look at this:
JTS: 23.50 X2 = $47
GP Stuff: $18.10 + $5.30 = $23.40
Faculty Outing: $18.00
Choir Concert: $15.00
Chemistry Fund: $10.00
VJC Drama Performance: $8.00
"Dang bing" Drama Performance: $32.30
Daoju Stickers: $5.40
Class Fund: unknown amount
Total: $159.10

Omg, dam lots of $$$$$$ la, I am broke. Haiz....

Nothing much le, short post. haha,
bye,
Wei Pin

finally updating....

2008-04-07T18:30:00.003+08:00

Another week has began... Cool, means new things to be done. Nothing much happened last week. It's just another week of slacking and playing. Muhahahaha... OK, have to get serious in the next coming weeks. Haha...

Signing up for CenTAD H3 research. Hope i can get it bah. Eying for a Chemistry project entitled, "Lab-on-a-chip water analysis system by capillary electrophoresis". Will fill up the application form soon. There's also 黄城 forms to be filled up. Haha...

There's also GP test on Wednesday ; Math lecture test on next monday ; Chemistry lecture test in May ; Chemistry class test in two weeks time. Haiz, so many tests. And worst still, PW !! Omg, cannot slack liao lah...

Okay, i guess that's about all, sorry, this time no pictures to show. Haha...
Oh, by the way, just remembered that there is still Physics and Chemistry SPA tests ! (Argh, add on to the list of tests....)

Whee, tomorrow starting on PIP liao, building a straw bridge. =)

Take care,
Wei Pin

life starts to change

2008-04-01T20:41:00.006+08:00

Hmm, I am back to blog again. =) I think life in College is starting to change le. Things are getting more hectic especially with PW. I hate PW, crap. Haiz... Syllabus content starts to get more difficult. The fear of Block Test 1 nearing engulfs me too.

BUT NEVERTHELESS

LIFE IS NOT BORING....

There's still a fun side to College life. It's just somewhat different to High School life. Do not really know how to express that. But College life is really different (i mean the fun side not academically) from High School.

The councillors for the 35th Student's Council is released le. Congrats to them. Nevertheless, some did not make it through. "For the rest, you are just too good for council" (Liang Jie). Well, at least you tried your best ! So cheer up ! This experience is going to benefit you though !

Okay, nothing much to blog le, so show some pictures:

Class Photo with Japanese Students

Leonardo sleeping in Econs lecture in Audi !!

Random balloon in audi, makes audi become RED LIGHT DISTRICT :)

Random Photo of Liang Jie and Sarah

Breafast Brawl - Doughnuts !!

Ta dah !! Nice doughnuts !!

Ginger and Soya Sauce at Ding Tai Feng Restaurant

Typical Chinese Restaurant setting

Ok, that's about all le. Have to start thinking of my PI. Argh, sian.

One week is going to pass soon. Nothing much for the week. 黄城 is over (oh crap, how many times must i say this? lol), but people can still be seen at Amphi. Haha, it is good to see these people again =)

Wednesday (which was yesterday) was a declared holiday for HCI. Cool right. Stayed at home. Nothing to do lor so PLAY. Haha.... Then the day so fast pass liao. So sad, wish we had more holidays =)

Nvm, today seems to be a promising day. Look at this!: Sunrise in school ! Taken at CT bench!

Yeah, the sun gives me hope, brightens the day. Haha. Nevertheless, afternoon proved to be the opposite.

Look at this!:

"SINGAPORE: The sudden downpour on Thursday afternoon brought more than just heavy rain. Hailstones were raining down in some parts of Singapore, according to callers to Channel NewsAsia’s hotline.

The National Environment Agency later confirmed that hailstones were reported in central Singapore between 3.15pm and 3.45pm. Callers said the hailstones were the size of 5 cent coins. They were seen mainly in Bishan, Toa Payoh and Ang Mo Kio. "

taken from: CNA Website

Haiz, morning so sunny, afternoon so gloomy then at night leh? At night so crappy. Haha, why crappy? I also don't know, cause I am crap. =)

Good, that's all for now,

Bye,

PWP

2008-03-22T22:57:00.005+08:00

Should blog now, wahaha... Got extended break this week, so cool. Played a bit of computer games. Cannot play too much. Later addicted and i become myopic then DIE !! Argh, whatever la.

Ok, nothing much to say also. This post mainly pictures that I took over the week.
Went for DSTA scholarship interview. Hope I can get it. Lol... Going for MOE Pre-U Scholarship on 31 March. Hope it will be good. Haha =)

These photos are taken during Chemistry Practical. Nothing much to do after finishing my practical. Practical quite easy, finished quite early. Lol

My bench after finishing my practical
Ultimate Stain - Potassium Manganate !!
Standard solution that i prepared - hydrated sodium thiosulphate !!
Checklist that i have to go through every practical lesson

Had Founder's Day CIP too:

Markus, Zhou Ang and Daoyuan scraping and painting the walls of toilet

Leonardo scolding "f you la"?

Went Terminal 3 too.

Will my career be inside this great structure

OR this tall "skinny" structure?

Haha, that's about all I have for now.

Cya soon,

Wei Pin

back to school....

2008-03-18T19:32:00.002+08:00

Yo people i am back !

Oh well, crap, 黄城 is over le. Feeling quite sad and empty yesterday (first day of school). Never go to amphi to start work. But nevertheless, still went back to amphi. Only saw Yi Sheng and Bena there. Just observed one minute of silence for the dead "道具s". Had weird feelings yesterday. Somewhat like something more electronegative than Fluorine had snatched my electron away from me. I should be positively-charged (meaning feeling positive) but how come I feel negative? Is there something wrong with the Chem laws? Haiz.. Crap....

By the way, March Holidays were "well spent" indeed. Rested well and played well. Just never study well only. Bleh. Obviously now must enjoy, later in the year cannot even enjoy liao. How sad....

Ok now school reopen liao, must catch up with homework. Haiz, a lot of question i don't know how to do. Sianz sia. Got back GP comprehension test. My marks = reverse of the total marks. Crap, a grade C. Highest is an A. So difficult, every word must also paraphrase, cannot lift !!! Nvm, shall not lift next time, gotta improve on it. I shall elevator it !!! LOL.... Good =)

Btw, my math tutor, Mr. Yeo rocks. He's dam lame and crap. Argh, can't stand him...

"Which room do you want to wash?"
"Does it ring a bell?"

My physics tutor, Mr. Ong rocks too. Shall not talk about him. I gotta do my homework now. Quite a short post. Should be an attempt to revive my blog after 1 month of death. Muahahahaha....

Ok bye,
Wei Pin

cross country

2008-02-13T22:18:00.003+08:00

Wooohooo, today quite a slack day. Only got GP tutorial and Chemistry Practical. Haha, how slack can it be ??!! Fire drill exercise today, all of us pon physics lecture cause there is simply no point in attending the lecture. lol...

Lessons officially ended at 12p.m, need to report for cross-country at 2p.m. Reached there at 2p.m. plus, nothing to do also, sitting around and slacking... Hah, quite a waste of time, since there is no milo van coming !! Haha, just kidding...

Left at 4p.m. plus when Kah Loke finished his run and together with Hwa Pheng, we went to Junction 8 to buy our angel and mortal presents. Looked and thought of what to buy for quite long, a hard to make decision. In the end, I still bought something. Hope both my angels and mortals will like it. =)

Ok, after that went home and did nothing until now then start to blog. Haha... So sian, i got no mood to do homework. The tutors don't want to go through. They don't seem willing to help which I hope is not the case. They always ask, "Are there any problems for your tutorials?" It's quite a redundant question. We, students, will surely encounter minor problems for tutorials. Why can't they start the tutorials by saying, "Let's go through question by question?" The tutors should at the very least go through 70% to 80% of the questions since we are taking the A levels ; tell us how to interpret and solve the question ; teach us the skills and techniques. The answers for some questions are not given, how do we know we are right or wrong? At the very least, provide the answers for every question, if not go through question by question. If questions are too simple, at least provide the general steps to solving the questions and if it's too difficult, go through in detail...

Haiz, maybe I am not independent enough but I don't think so. Don't go through tutorial when the students have done it is a complete waste of the student's time. Why do the tutorials? Will we know and learn from our mistakes? Haiz..... Sighz.....

I thought college got A levels then the teachers will be more willing to help the students... 没想到 it's the same as High School.... La Di Da.......

Sign off here le,

tech run

2008-02-12T23:38:00.000+08:00

Hi there,

I am trying to blog short entries everyday so there will be new entries in my blog everyday! Lol.

There is tech run for 黄城 today. When we practised changing scenes before the actual tech run, it was ok. But when the actual tech run comes, we screwed up the whole thing. Take too long to change scenes and changed scenes at wrong time. Then in the end, get scolded by APM. Haiz....

Worked till late night at about 9p.m. plus. Security guard (as usual) came and chase us out. Dam it. Actually at 8p.m. plus he will come already and threaten us to pack up. Then we listen to music through speakers, he also wanna kao bei. What's wrong with him la? Not even like 10 or 11p.m, we still can blast the music what....

But the security guard dam flirt with the girls in 黄城. One of the convos goes like this:
Guard: 妹，这样迟了还没有走
Girl: 是呀! 等一下我要去吃鸭饭，你要来吗?
Guard: 好! 我们一起去 lor (Sinister laughters...)

Omg la, dam flirt, argh cannot stand it. Why Hwa Chong employ such guards? Haiz...

Ok, that's it for now, need to do some GP homework (not much i guess),
Cya,
Wei Pin

first day of school after CNY

2008-02-11T23:38:00.000+08:00

Hi guys,

just came back from 黄城. I am really really really X999 tired now... No energy to do homework but I still have homework to do !! But it's only one piece of homework ----> econs tutorial !! Must do (cause the teacher says if don't do no class participation points !!!) so I shall do it now. Haha...

Today's post is a short one, so random right?
Yah, luckily wednesday can rest and revise for the two upcoming tests (Math and GP). I seriously don't know how I will fare ; sitting for my first college test !!

Cya,
Off to do homework,
PWP

happy new year !!!

2008-02-10T09:09:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year to you guys out there !!

Well, for the past few weeks I have been very busy. 黄城's stuff have been getting more and more intensive. Homework wise, it hasn't been much la, but I guess it will soon increase... (yes, very soon...) Haiz...

In addition, I hope I can do well for my JC but somewhat it seems that something is lacking. It takes two hands to clap. I am willing to put in the effort but perhaps someone else doesn't.....

Anyway, back to something "high"... Chinese New Year is really fun for me. On the eve, we had the celebrations in school. Although the initial part of the celebrations were quite boring but the later part of the celebrations (like the traditional Street Market) was really fun !! My CT sold marshmallows (coated with chocolate and the colourful toppings). Overall, we earned about $80 plus. And profit was about $30. Is this a lot? Perhaps so... Haha....

After which, there was 捞鱼生. Woa, the council is rich leh. One CT got 3 鱼生 boxes. Then together, the senior and junior class, 捞-ed together !! It was dam messy la, a lot of the 鱼生 was thrown out and dirtied the table and floor. Haha, but it was fun, very very fun !!

There was mass dance session after that. But I didn't go, went back to High School to visit some of the teachers as by that time most of the teachers have left. When I reached High School, we only managed to see Mr. Vincent Tan and Ms. Sandra Tan. Talked to them for awhile, sharing with them the JC life experience.

After that, we all went home liao, there's nothing much to do in school...

Had reunion dinner (steamboat) at home....

On 初一, I went 拜年. So happy to receive so many ang baos. Woohooo !!! Yah, then gamble awhile lor. Didn't really monitor the amount of money that I had before and after. So didn't know if I win or lose la. But i think i never win or lose (roughly know)...

The programme for 初二 is roughly the same as 初一: went 拜年 and later gambled at people's house. Lol...

初三: CT outing at Cathay Cineleisure. Watched the Jay Chou new movie: Kungfu Dunk. The movie is average la. But the soundtracks are very nice and funny. Haha... After that went to eat lunch at some Korean BBQ Chicken Restaurant. Dam Ex, my fish fillet cost 7 bucks for just three small pieces of fillet. Haiz, but nvm la, new year mah.

After lunch, went pool. Didn't play caused I needed to leave early for 黄城团拜. Went to one of the member's house. Played card and board games with Jia Sheng, Jun Hui, Nicholas and Liang Zhou. Dam fun, especially BoomO !!! Wth la, I always the first to lose in all 3 games that we played. But nvm, have fun can liao :D Then there were like 3 tables of mahjong la, wth. They all mahjong freaks lor.

At around evening, we left to eat Steamboat at Golden Mile. $10/pax. Food is ok, but I still think it's a little bit not worth it la. But nvm, we also had fun eating steamboat. And mysteriously, Jun Hui's straw for his drink disappeared !! Wooohoo, might have melted in the soup then we might be drinking plastic !!! LOL...

Ok that's all,
maybe have to do some homework now :D

another busy week...

2008-01-24T20:22:00.000+08:00

Hey people out there,

it has been another busy week for me again. Ok, but I must say that this time I was not as busy as the last few weeks...

Tutorials have started this week. Yah, and we mostly know who our tutors are. I just love my timetable. My tuesdays and wednesdays end at 12.30p.m. Wooohooo !!! Haha, but nothing much happened during the past few days la. Lectures, tutorials and lab sessions. Just the usual school stuff. Yah, but of course there is an added element of fun admist all these academic stuff. Lol.

Today is the release of the O level results. For IP students, we are just getting back our Higher Chinese results. High School did very well with about 50%-60% getting As. Yay !!! Cool, a huge improvement from last year. I am so happy, i got an A too. I think most of us are satisfied with our results.

With these results, I think we should really thank 杨老师. We all know the efforts put in by her to help prepare all of us for our Higher Chinese. I think the whole of 4I'07 thinks that she rawks too! She really helped us a lot... I think i am being a bit emotional here. Haha, but Louis more emotional than me. He cried when we when to met 杨老师. Yah, but seriously, 杨老师 is a very good teacher. *claps*

For Non- IP students, some are happy but some are not. Yah, but I guess they need some time to settle down and make the final decision. But meanwhile, I guess we must and we will cherish the every moment that we have together...

That's all...
Bye

first post for the year 2008 !!

2008-01-20T17:26:00.000+08:00

Hi people out there,

long time no post. But this is going to be the longest post ever. Wahahaha...Busy everyday, reach home dam tired liao. No time to post. It's like a cycle everyday. Reach home sometimes 7p.m, sometimes 9p.m or even later. Then less than 12 hours later, have to report to school at 7a.m. liao... Diao. But never mind, the time spent is worthwhile.

1. Orientation Programme - Jumpstart 08
The orientation programme organised by the college council is fantastic. I never had so much fun before. I was in OG38. Quite fun, got to know everybody better through the games. And yes, we played a lot of games - wet and dry games. Haha, definitely enjoyable. There is a point system for the games session. Everyone in the OG tried their best to win the game. And yah, through this, we bonded better together. And YAY, OG 38 won one of the places in top 5 (forgot which place, i think is 4th) !!

Of course, there were also songs, cheers and dance sessions. The songs were very nice, very sentimental. Great job to the grand-seniors whom composed the songs. Mass dance sessions were fantastic too. Haha, roughly (agar agar) 70% can get the dance la. Dam fun dancing, sometimes get wrong moves or turn wrongly then everyone will just laugh. But in the end, everyone had fun and this is the most important thing. Haha... College council is really cool, they come up with a batch cheer and batch song. OMG, they are so pro...

There were also introductory lectures during orientation. Haha, the lecturers did not go too much into teaching la, more of introduction (assessment format, syllabus outline, expectations, etc). But sometimes quite boring.... Haiz...

Towards the end, there was time attack (amazing race style). Quite fun, went out of school - went to Botanical Gardens, Farrer Road market. The council dam creative, played Food Junction (十字路口)... Lol, ate quite a lot of food. Then rushed back to school to play 3 more other games. And yes !! artemis won the best timing for time attack and we had more water bombs during wargames !! (We had 1000 water bombs)

Now on to wargames. This is the coolest and fun-nest game that i have ever played. The feeling of going to war. Lol, everyone just chiong ah !!! Artemis tio attacked like siao when the game started. We haven't even formed our wall yet and the Athena people are like chiong-ing in to throw their water bombs already... After a while, we formed our human wall. Haha, we defended like don't know how many people (squeezed their water bombs and *bust* the water spurt onto their faces, dam cool !!) The Athena people want to pass their water bombs to their faculty mates and they just threw the water bombs over, hoping that their faculty mates will catch. But guess what, the water bombs burst... Dam stupid la, they all, wasting water bombs...

Oh well, when the game was about to end, Ares was the driest and the other three faculties all meng chiong Ares le... Then Ares mass defend... But in the end, Athena won.... Lol, but never mind la, we all had fun... The most important things is FUN...

Campfire night was high. Every faculty was just meng cheering, lol.. Artemis remained sort of quiet. But yah, we remained quiet but when we cheer, we make sure we are the loudest !!!! There were band performances, faculty dances, CT flag presentations, CT performances and the best of all - Songs, Cheers and Dance Sessions !!

Yup, so the night ended like at about 10p.m plus and everyone was dam high. But well, this also marks the end of Orientation....

2. 07S69 and 08S69
08S69 is my CT. The senior class is quite high and bonded. They like to tease and joke around one another. There is this "Angel and Mortal" or in chinese, "天使与魔特" (as deemed by the seniors) game going on currently. Everyone of us will be Angels and Mortals. The angels will know their mortals but mortals do not know who their angel is. So, we have to write letters to one another, telling each other more about perhaps, school life, CCA, hobbies, etc. Ya, so the mortals will just have to try and guess who their angel is. And quite fun la actually. Sometimes will have sweets and chocolates attached to it. Some angels are generous, give lots of chocolates. Lol... So on 14 Feb, Valentine's Day, everyone will reveal who their angel and mortal is... Haha, looking forward to that day....

3. 3rd week of school
Lectures have started on the 3rd week of school. But tutorials have not. So sometimes will have like 3 hours break, 2 hours break kind of thing. Then don't know what to do lor... Yah, so basically I had Math, Physics, Chemistry, Econs lecture. Things are going ok for now. And yah, I can notice the huge jump of the difficult of questions from O level to A level. For example in Chemistry, the topic of Stoichiometry, O level questions were very straight forward types. But now, the questions are not straight forward anymore, requires you to think more... Oh well, but never mind, will get used to it soon...

Anyway, I also signed up to be part of the Drama Production, 黄城夜韵. I am in props. The committment is that everyday we will have to stay until 8p.m. And starting 2 Feb on every saturday there will be rehearsals for almost the whole day la. It looks tiring and exhausting but I guess there will be lots of fun when constructing the props and during rehearsals cause there are a lot of people around (nearly 300 plus people around), how can there be no fun??? Yup, so that's the reason why i don't have the time to blog...

Yup, so that's about all for the activity during the past 3 weeks. The next few weeks are going to be much more exciting and packed. But I know that i am going to enjoy it. Yup, so wish me all the best !!!

And I will wish you all the best here !!! Lol..

Ok, that's all,
Cya,
Wei Pin

last day and last post of 2007 !!

2007-12-31T21:30:00.000+08:00

Ok, finally downloaded my holiday pictures onto my computer.

Just a quick summary. Went to Cameron Highlands. Visited quite a lot of places like strawberry farm, honey farm, rose garden, tea plantations, etc. Saw their plantations and tasted some of their fresh harvest.

Weather there is also cool... Haha.

Went to KL next. Nothing much in KL, just shopping around in the nearby shopping malls and areas near our hotel.

Here are some pictures...

Strawberries (Not riped !!)

Tea Plantation

Theme Park (Roller Coaster) In Berjaya Times Square (KL)

Resort In Cameron Highland

天堂鸟

Green Rose sia (I thought roses are red, violets are blue?)

Looks like those girls' hair plaits

Weird plant sia...

Hmm, so 2007 is going to come to an end soon ---> 2 hours 30 mins later (when i click publish post). Saw the Orientation Programme in ISP. 8 days of Orientation, about 70% filled with lectures and talks. Then don't know why got test one leh ??!! (For the Sciences, i guess). There is the introductory talk then test. Weird right? Zzzzz....

Well, never mind, perhaps just a diagnostic test bah... Haha...

Ok, hope orientation will be fun and college will be fun. But I know that the "air" levels won't be fun when it comes. And it will come soon !!! Haha...

That's all,
Happy New Year !!
Cheers,
Wei Pin

another long post....

2007-12-24T10:38:00.000+08:00

Ok, now to blog what happened after 3 Dec. Went on holiday to Cameron Highlands and KL from 8 Dec to 11 Dec. Shall blog about it with pictures when I download the pictures from my camera into my computer.

Ok, so basically after 3 Dec, I went to Singapore Youth Flying Club (SYFC) for flight training and simulator training once every 2 - 3 days. Not that I did not go before 3 Dec but it's just that after 3 Dec, I go to SYFC more frequently.

So counting back, I have been with SYFC for around 2 months till this date. Flown four times already, each lasting about 1 hour. Quite cool, taxy the plane, make radio calls, move the control column and best of all - See Singapore from a bird's eye view !!

Through these 2 months at SYFC, I learnt a lot more about aviation careers - being a military pilot and commercial pilot. The instructors at SYFC shared a lot, some are RSAF and/or SIA pilots. They retire already. So actually for the past few weeks, I have been thinking a lot of what I want to be? (RSAF and/or SIA pilot? Or not being a pilot?)

Ok, shall analyse here...

RSAF pilot:

You start off...

1. Submitting Application

2. Shortlist already, must go through a 5 hours test known as Computerised Apptitude Selection System (COMPASS) where they will assess whether you have the attributes (eg. quick reflexes, your memory, ability to multi-task, hand-eye coordination, etc)

3. You pass the above, you go for interview

4. You pass interview, you go for medical examination

5. You pass, you go for Basic Military Training (BMT) which means enlisted into NS la

6. After 9 weeks of BMT, you go for air grading in Tamworth, Australia for 2 months. This is where they really test you out whether you really have the qualities to be a pilot as they will teach you how to fly the aeroplane. If not, you will get phased out and bye bye

7. You pass already, you go to Officer Cadet School (OCS) to get trained to become an officer for around 2 months.

8. You get commissioned as officer already, you for for Basic Flying Phase for 10 months in Australia

9. Pass that and go for advanced flying phase for 11 months. This is the phase which you will know whether you flying Fighter, Transport or Helicopter. This is dependent on your performance and abilities demonstrated during your training.

10. Ok, so after this, you would have completed your NS training (yes, 1 day training at Air Force = 1 day of NS) So by now, 2 years plus have passed.

11. You will continue on your studies in the University for about 4 years.

12. You return to RSAF for your career job as a pilot.

13. When you sign on as a pilot with RSAF, it is contract-based for about 10 years. (Starting from the moment you finish University).

14. So you can only leave air force when you are about late 30s.

15. Nevertheless, the RSAF has a transition scheme. After your 10 years contract, you can choose to leave RSAF to transit to SIA. If not, you continue another contract with RSAF and retire at 40 plus. And that's the end...

Salary wise...

Needless to say, it is definitely rewarding. As a trainee pilot, you get about $2000. You complete pilot training, you get about $5000 - $6000 (this is not including any allowances, you know?) With allowance, it is another $2000-$3000 more. You gain your ranks, you get paid more. Of course, there are other benefits as well la, like medical, welfare, etc.

SIA Pilot...

1. You can only join SIA at 26 years old for Singaporeans or you transit from RSAF (as mentioned earlier). This is to ensure a talent pool for the RSAF. I feel that it is very unfair. That is why Singaporeans only constitute a small percentage among SIA pilots. Mostly are Malaysians. Because they can join at 18 years old........... Haiz...

2. SIA has a more complicated selection process.

3. Go for first round of interview

4. Go for Psychomotor and Psychometric tests

5. Broken up into groups and sort of work together and solve some problems. This tests on your teamwork and leadership skills.

6. Go for second round of interview

7. Attend a tea-party and they will see how well you interact. Sort of test your social skills

8. Go for medical examination.

9. Go for 3 weeks OBS

10. Start flying training at both Singapore and Australia for about 2 years.

11. Then you become Second Officer. Need another like 1-2 more years to clock hours to become First Officer

12. SIA is also contract-based - 6 years. If after 6 years they don't like you, then bye bye.

Salary wise...

Second Officer - about $2000-$3000

First Officer - about $5000 - $9000

Captain - $10,000 plus la (max is about $16,000 for A380, due to the reason ruling of pilot salaries of A380)

Of course, it will depend on the type of aircraft you fly. Similarly, the above is only the basic pay. Plus allowances it is another $3000-$5000 more la (Got like Night-stop allowance, productivity allowance, meal allowance)... Yah, also got benefits like medical, welfare, discounted travel, every year got free ticket to travel, etc...

Ok, so that's just the superficial information about the jobs.

I have been thinking whether to be a pilot or not. Because after all, there are many factors. Flying is not easy. They say pilots can be trained and groomed. Yes, I agree, but because they need pilots fast, you really need to have the innate ability (which I think I lack that) to fly. If not, they cannot waste the time and effort trying to develop and train you slowly. They need the people fast !!!

Second thing is the nature of the job. For RSAF, you will most likely be involved in joint exercises, peacekeeping missions, overseas detachments. This would mean less and less time for family, friends. What's the use of earning so much, if time (yes, time is money what?) cannot be spent with closed ones? There is also a much higher risk in flying fighters. There is also the presence of G-forces or also known as g-load. Because the fighters are accelerating so fast, pilots can feel the force of gravity acting on them. Sometimes during roller coasters, you can also feel it. These forces force blood down your body, meaning less oxygen to the brain and can cause a temporarily black-out. Although fighter pilots wear g-suits, which is supposedly to squeeze blood back to the brain, who knows what will happen up in the skies? Brain cells also die easily due to this effect... There are also risks of air crash and accidents.

For SIA, you are in a high risk of developing cancers. This is because you are up in the skies, you have a larger exposure to radiation and have a huge responsibility to ensure the safety of passengers. Air crashes or accidents might also happen. Bad weather, turbulence are some of the risks. Similarly, you are also away from home.

But coming to the definition of flying. Real flying only happens in RSAF, where you really get to manoeuvre the aircraft. Whereas, in SIA, it is just cockpit management. You engage the auto-pilot to fly and you just monitor and check your instruments constantly. So not much of flying in SIA, mostly computerised already. Lol...

Yup, so these are the factors that I have been thinking through. Haha, I have also searched for other careers. Another possibility is being an air traffic controller. This job is also quite demanding, need to multi-task, think quick and reply quick. Quite stressful, maybe will get depression if you know that you caused an air crash.. Haha...

Ok la, maybe be an engineer lor if all above fails... But nevertheless, I am still seeing my progress in SYFC. If I can make it through, I will consider being a pilot.

Nevertheless, I think more importantly is concentrating on my studies now and get good results. Haha... So i guess i will just put this aside. Yah, sorry for the long post. If you don't want to read also can, haha, because it is also meant for my future reference. Lol...

Ok that's all,

hope you all also have some ideas of what your future career might be...

i am back !!!

2007-12-24T09:44:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, I am here back blogging now !! Well, haven't been blogging for the past one month plus. Quite a lot of things happened and I shall now post here.. Haha, should be quite a long post ...

First event: NTUC Used Textbooks Project 2007

I left off in my previous post that I had completed one week of work for the above project. Well, this project will continue for another two more weeks. The next two weeks were definitely slack when you compare this CIP with other CIP work that you have to do. Nevertheless, the amount of books which arrived increased significantly during the end of second week (if I did not remember wrongly). About 3 trucks came in the afternoon (around 1300-1400) consecutively. We could not finish the sorting and stopped when it was 1700 to pack and clean up. How tiring could it be...

Moreover, there are people (HCI ones) who are slacking around doing nothing. I can accept them slacking doing nothing when they were no books but not so when books arrived. And they simply leave their shit (7 eleven big gulps) around for people to wipe for them. What to do? Received a few complaints from the Montfort side that our guys are slacking. But what can i do? Shout at HCI volunteers? Shout at them like uniform groups? I can't, cause I am not in the position to do so. If I did shout, what would they think? What? Who is this guy in a position to lecture and scold me? I cannot do anything...

Well, I am glad that there are some who stand by me despite the heavy workload. They helped me when I asked them to do. These people are truly commendable. Well, I know most of them at the personal level. They are: Hwa Pheng, Jun Hui, Jun Hao, Raphael, Kah Loke, Jackie, Choon Chuan, Jonathan Heng, Yi Foong, Xiang Quan and Teck Seng. Of course, there are people whom I did not know at first ; like: Choon Hui, Wei Zeng, Darius, Rui Hao and Chen Rui. They all helped me. I thank them for their help. (I hope I did not left out anyone out).

Best thing was on Sunday (one day before the public collection day). No books were supposed to come on that day. So Montfort people left after they have finished their work. Only 5 HCI volunteers (Jun Hao, Teck Seng, Choon Hui, Chen Rui and me) were present after lunch (Kah loke left after lunch). We took a walk at the stalls set up. And suddenly, the truck came. That means 5 people have to sort a truck full of books. Oh man... But nevertheless, we still did it, after 4 hours.....

The last day of this CIP was on 3 Dec. The public arrived to collect the books. But there were pretty interesting things. Some old men came in, rummaged through the miscellanous section, taking any books they can find, and left. One of them went for the textbooks section and asked, "Can i have 4 copies of that textbook; can i have 5 copies of that ....?" Omg, these people are definitely not collecting what they need, they are merely just exploiting the loopholes of the system ! One of them left their collected books outside and went in to collect again. So our volunteers went out and take back the books... Haha, how interesting. Of course, the guy found it and scolded our volunteers but we argued and reasoned with him that what he was doing was wrong... But in the end, we still let it off...

Then just before the event ended, a guy came in. He was worst, taking plastic bags out, grabbing a few copies of the same book and put them into a plastic bag. We went up to confront him. At first, he claimed that he was a tuition teacher and needed these books. (Omg, why would a tuition teacher need so many of such books??). When we asked the second time, he replied that he was sending these books to Cambodia.... (=.=, Diao la...)

Ok fine, so we volunteers kept loading a lot of textbooks into that guy's mini van. Since he wants the books, we helped him load onto his mini van. LMAO, we loaded until the van was overloaded, the back tyres seem to be a little flattened. LOL... Then we were all saying around him, "More books, more luck !!!" That guy asked us to stop, we refused, keep on loading... So fun...

Yah, so after that, we have to clean up the hall and there was a short de-brief. Then no one want to take back the biscuits and I have to take home one box which contain nearly 20 packets of biscuits...

Nevertheless, the whole 3 weeks were very enjoyable... So much fun and of course hard work... Not sure if I will continue next year... But I hope I can...

Here are some pictures:

See how high I have stacked the books until...
Another one...
Ok, better take a picture before it collapses.
Before the miscellanous section was collected...
After a few rounds of collection by the public...

Ok, will end off here for this post, guess it is quite long. Will continue typing in a new post...

slacking the whole week

2007-11-18T10:05:00.000+08:00

Started NTUC UTP Service this whole week.. It was very very very slack. 9 Hours of CIP each day. But guess what? In this 9 hours, you only do work for at most 1-2 Hours.... Lalala..

The other times were just spent slacking, doing nothing, building sandcastles in the air, reading newspaper, sleeping, lying down, walking around CC and nearby shops, exploring the CC, sitting in the nearby exercise corner, resting, emo-ing (ops, i guess not...), and many more things that you can think off !!!

Sounds cool? Haha, that was how I spent the week...

Went for my first simulator training at SYFC on thursday. Did half of the internal checks on the simulator and learnt more about the aircraft systems. Haha, quite interesting....

Ok, going to continue watching my last 4 episodes of Smiling Pasta ---> finishing soon ! =)

Cya guys,
Wei Pin

bee movie...

2007-11-11T21:47:00.000+08:00

Went to watch "Bee Movie" yesterday at The Grand Cathay...

Haha, dam funny and interesting. A starting quote from the movie:

"According to all known laws of aviation,
it is impossible that a bee can fly
with its huge body and tiny wings

However, the bees want to prove the humans wrong by making the impossible possible"

This quote from the movie is quite funny: "They make the honey, we make the money" Lalala... lol... talking about the perception of humans towards the bees who make honey.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie very much but don't know why it was only given a two and a half stars rating on Saturday's Newspaper (Life Section) (10/11/2007)

Haiz, never mind, you guys watch it if you have the time/want to...

Here's the poster for the movie:

Ok, going to start my service for NTUC Used Textbooks Project tomorrow at Yio Chu Kang CC,
Cya guys,
Wei Pin

more movies !!

2007-11-09T22:04:00.000+08:00

Just finished watching these two movies:

Rob B Hood is a Hong Kong action-comedy film produced in 2006. Haha. Quite a nice and touching movie. The baby inside is very cute and there are numerous funny scenes on how the people handled the baby. Extremely funny !! Actors include 成龙 and 古天乐

I am sure everyone is quite familiar with this movie. It was shown on Singapore's screens not long ago. Haha, quite an interesting movie too. Filled with action, funny and touching scenes. I am sure everyone who had watched this movie would agree with me. Lol.. Anyway, a message from this movie: Everyone Can Cook !

Anyway, I am currently watching this Taiwan 偶像剧 -- 微笑Pasta (Aired in Taiwan from July to November 2006) ; Starring 张栋梁, 王心凌 and Gino (K One's leader). It is a romance plus comedy drama. Haha, just finished watching the 4th episode. (there are 17 episodes altogether). Will continue watching this nice drama in the next few days. Lol...

Smiling Pasta:

Haha, ok, got to go now,

Cya,

Wei Pin

bored...

2007-11-07T09:57:00.001+08:00

Maple is currently undergoing a server check so I cannot play - so bored sia... Haiz...

A lot of my friends not around, now MSN also no one online, don't know where they go la...

some go Australia and Nepal for camps, some go holiday, some go work, some go attachment, some slacking at home (like me !!), some sleeping (i guess, nice weather these few days) some don't know go where la (they not online, cannot find them !!!)

Haiz, maybe should take this chance to tidy up my table....

Never mind, shall wait till 11a.m then can play. Nevertheless, next week onwards, I will be occupied haha... Doing UTP again this year. Cool...

Ok,
going off liao,
Bye,
Wei Pin

i am back !!!

2007-11-04T13:44:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, I am finally back !! Sorry for not posting right after the O levels - I have been busy with other things after the O levels and thus did not have the time to blog. Shall talk about what I did for the past few days here:

31 October (O Level Higher Chinese):

Went into exam venue, everyone was revising Chinese. Some reading 好词好句，some reading范文，some reading 作文 points. The months, time and effort spent in preparing for this exam seemed to have paid off when one of the compo question was on the government giving money to encourage those hawkers to go for upgrading courses to improve on their hygiene, service standards, etc. However, I did not write this question cause I didn't read the newspaper articles and revise on the points. How sad can it be? Nevertheless, I wrote the question "才华比赛是很有意义的活动" Hope, can score well for this question. Afterall, only about 3-4 people in the class wrote this question so there will be 新鲜感 for the markers who read our compos. Haha =)

Paper 2 came shortly after a break. The paper was quite straight forward, most questions were manageable. This is where the fear lies. The easier the paper, the more difficult it is to get A1. After the exams, saw some 4J people in staffroom discussing answers on Paper 2. I bet all the Chinese teachers also went to discuss the answers for the paper for none of them could be seen in the staffroom. Went for ARE Interview at 3.00p.m. Interview pannel asked more of Roots and Shoots. Lol, so I discussed from there...

After the interview, saw 陈有庆老师 talking to some of the other students waiting to be interviewed so I decided to sit down and listen. He said the O Level Exam paper will never be difficult and last year when he marked the paper, a lot of people scored 20/20 for close passage. Then when they moderate, the A1 become 85... (So this was the fear that I mentioned earlier)

Oh well, how sad can it be?

1 November (Jane Goodall Talk @ Hwa Chong):

Jane Goodall came to Hwa Chong on 1 November for a talk and to get more local schools to join the Roots and Shoots community. So we were supposed to be ushers to usher people to the Auditorium. Her speech was mainly on her life experiences/stories and it was very interesting. She is now 73 years old and she travels around the world 300 days a year to give talks and to get more youths involved in this roots and shoots community. Her stories seemed like her life adventure, telling us what she did from a little girl, to studying chimps during her teenage and adult years and now travelling around the world to give talks. After the talk, Raphael went to send some RGS girls out and Raphael got their contacts lol... haha

2 November (Animal Parade @ Botanical Gardens):

Went for the Animal Parade at the Botanical Gardens with Lian Seng, Raphael, Zhou Quan, Teck Seng, Marcus and Hong Yao. We reached the wrong part of the Botanical Gardens and had to walk here and there to find the correct place. Finally, we waited at a place and the Stampede came. Lots of beautiful costumes haha. Took some pictures and Raphael was looking out for someone.... Lalala... After the parade, we walked all the way from Botanical Gardens to Serene Centre to eat our dinner at McDonalds. Lol, all of us were tired, cannot walk anymore already...

Ok, that's basically all the events that I am busy with for the past few days. I also did not have time to play MapleStory, how sad can it be? =( *sob*....

Just finished clearing my table cause it's stacked with Chinese notes. Filed these notes and guess how thick was my Chinese file (or files I would say)? Take a look:

But I must say 杨老师 has spent a lot of time and effort in preparing and giving us the notes to prepare us for the O Level Higher Chinese. Haha, 80% of the notes is by her and only 20% is from 王老师. See the contrast? 杨老师 taught us for only 2 months but 王老师 taught us for 8 months. If 杨老师 taught us for the whole year, I bet two of such files are not even enough for all of her notes. Maybe we can ask some 4N or 4O students to show us their files...

Haha, that's all,

Must enjoy my holidays now !

Cya,
Wei Pin

back earlier than expected....

2007-10-23T17:46:00.000+08:00

I am here blogging again (although i said i would be blogging after O levels)... But never mind, it's because I have nothing to do now...

Because maple is so lag now and I cannot play. Don't know why so lag but never mind.

First thing in the morning need to read newspaper articles which have been selected based on the fact that these are "热门话题" for Paper 1... Read for like 1.5 hrs, dam sian already. But i enjoy reading the reply by the Singapore Chinese Teachers Association to the public on the issue of "双语政策"...

Haha, then continued reading more articles, like the one on 5 years later, all primary schools and two-thirds of secondary schools will offer third languages.... Quite interesting

After that was break and Chinese lesson was spent going through answers for our worksheets... It is just like a breeze going through the answers with 杨老师.. It's like "Chop, Chop" and it's done...

After lunch break need to do one mock exam paper. This time is Nanyang Girls Paper, lol... I would say the paper is manageable but don't know how I would score. But never mind, it's over. But their passages are quite interesting, quite thought-provoking too...

I think the 3rd comprehension passage is quite meaningful. It talks about "吃回头草".. Well, I learnt something from the passage -- "当前程茫然，心中无数，你不妨给自己留下一条后退路"

Ok, that's all, seems abrupt, but never mind.

Cya,
Wei Pin

Comatose?? Nope.... I am back !!

2007-10-22T17:02:00.001+08:00

Hi guys, I am back to blog again lol.

Didn't blog because was too busy playing MapleStory for the last two weeks. Don't know why I started to play. Maybe it's because when we went to Louis's house on 10 October (just after the Math Exam), we were playing Louis's maple account. So the urge to play maple came when I saw that there are now so many new worlds and monsters, compared to just Orbis and Victoria Island the last time I played...

So I played maple like mad, totally abandoned AuditionSEA lol.. (Level 5 only... still very noob)

15 October to 19 October was post-exam marking days. It's an irony to call these days as mentioned when teachers are not marking the papers but instead calling us back to check papers. Got my papers back and was quite happy with my results. I am glad that I got the marks that I wanted for my IHC and IHE, dam happy....

Oh well, come to think of that, maybe I should choose Arts in JC and not Science? My IHC and IHE totally own the rest of my other subjects. My IH is always the weakest subject, that's why I need to score very high for my year-end exams and I did it !!!

I remembered Mr. Tan Heng Yang and Ms. Tan saying that they were actually very interested and passionate about Arts during their school days but they are now Science teachers. So perhaps, I might also face a transition from Science to Arts???

But well, nevertheless, I am still taking Science, HAHA, ignore the crap up there, lol...

There was also Batch Dinner 2007 on 18 October. Enjoyed myself. Had many wonderful moments. I am sure the rest did enjoy themselves too. I hope the friendships forged will stay as strong as ever. =) And the friendships will continue to carry many many friends... =P (random....)

Last weekend was spent pia-ing Chinese homework -- lots of comprehension passages to do, but I managed to finish.. Lalala...

Ok, enough said and actually I do not have much to say, have been enjoying myself by playing so nothing much.

Just want to wish everyone all the best for O Level Higher Chinese !!! Lol, maybe I will blog again after the O Level Higher Chinese on 31 October...

All the best,
Wei Pin

last lap...

2007-10-09T10:37:00.000+08:00

Yay!! Finally, I am here on the last lap, taking my last paper tomorrow - Math !! Must work dam hard for it cause I screwed paper one.

Well, i think the past few papers like Geography (today), Higher Chinese Paper One (monday) were all quite managable la. Hope can score good grades.

Ok, need to think of what to do after exams? Play? Play wholeday also sianz diao de. Maybe tomorrow after math exam going out with they all, see where they want to go lor...

Another thing is after exams still need to prepare for 'O' level Higher Chinese. And 杨老师 gave us lots of homework to do during our free time after exams !! Got like 8 Open-ended chinese comprehension, 10 MCQ + Short answer comprehension, 1 作文 and 1 应用文. Well, gotta do like crazy man !! =P

Friday cannot enjoy life, need to go to college open house at 11p.m. High School arranged for it, need us to know about Subject Combi, ISP and all the other special programmes. Lol, haha..

Before I go, here's a joke:
Q: 哪一把刀最长?

A: 屠龙刀 (Too long dao)

Wahaha, oh well, weather has been cold these few days, put on a few layers of clothing bah !!

Gotta practise for math now...

Cyaz,
PWP

just a quick post...

2007-10-03T16:55:00.000+08:00

Long long time never blog liao... Nevermind, now got time, type some things here. =)

Past few months preparing for exams, not much time, actually also because lazy to blog la. Then wei han, jun hui and nicholas ong say dead blog liao...

Nvm, now i BLOG..

Past few exam papers quite ok la, except for Chemistry Paper 1 - dam it. Nvm, i don't need that high. But, well, Ms Tan put on his nickanme that "4I: Chemistry, well done". Woa, hooraay!!

Chinese Paper 2 also killer, especially for close passage and first MCQ comprehension. First MCQ comprehension is like a 散文, dam sian. So chim la, must tikam the MCQ answers. Furthurmore, I nearly did not complete the whole paper la, chiong in the end then finally completed. Lol.

Today Physics Paper 1 free frag lah. Sianz, i 20 mins finish liao. Lol, wa lao... The fact that TieuHH paper is difficult scared a lot of people in the class and in the end, paper 1 so easy. Lol... Haha, can get nearly full marks.

Paper 2 got some challenging and thinking parts la....

Luckily don't have the style like Ms Adeline Tan's questions.

Half-way through the exams le, must endure... Like uniform groups pumping that time always say, "HOLD IT THERE !!!"...... Wooohoo, i will hang on, wish me luck. =)

Tmr still got math paper 1 and IHC. Revising now.

All the best

Sabbatical week has ended. It was a dam fun sabbatical. What I did was to eat. eat and eat !! Lol, haha... Everything that I cooked, i ate it =)

PWP

EOYE exams coming...

2007-08-19T19:51:00.000+08:00

Never blog for one week plus le. Because some time very tired, some time got nothing to blog lah... Actually, nothing much for the past week. Just had a few more tests and the rest quite slack. I guess I would be blogging less often as the end of year exams draw near and it's soon time for ultimate MUGGING... Whee....

Haha, tomorrow starting my sabbatical - cooking course. Hope I can learn something useful from it. =)

Anyway, just watched finish 3 movies. Two of the movies are quite old ones. Produced in the 90s (2nd and 3rd picture)... Haha... The other one is quite new, produced in 2007 (1st picture)....

Here are the movies that I watched:
These 3 movies are all comedy movies lah... So it's quite funny and I enjoyed the movie very much. Haha.... Laughed all the way...

Cya then,
PWP

又看完了另一部影片...

2007-08-10T18:08:00.000+08:00

我又看完了另一部影片--夜宴。跟"日本沉没"一样，也是一部在2006年上映的影片。夜宴其实是一部古装片，故事是发生在中国"五代十国"时期，讲述的是朝廷里的明争暗斗。皇后和皇上都存有阴谋，想除掉自己心中不喜欢的人。况且，皇后也有阴谋想杀死皇上。。。最终的结局是非常可悲的，皇后虽然完成了心中的愿望，但她被自己的良心所责备。。。

这部影片富有古装味。从演员的衣着打扮，到故事发生的情景都含有中国古代时期的风味。但故事情节发展的有一点慢，让人有时真的不想在看下去了。但整体来说，这部影片是非看不可的哦!

数了一数，我好像在这几天内看了不少影片!哈哈。。。

日本沉没...

2007-08-10T13:15:00.000+08:00

刚看完一部影片--日本沉没。这是一部在2006年上映的影片。讲述的内容非常精彩以及感人。影片长达两小时那么长。虽然影片很长，但每一刻都是感动人心的。

影片讲述正在支撑日本这整块岛的板块即将被正在碰撞的几个板块摧毁，造成正在支撑日本的板块断裂，把整个日本沉没。起初，美国科学家是预测日本将在五年内沉没，但有一名日本科学家却发现日本将在一年内沉没下去。日本政府不相信那名日本科学家的说法，引起许多争议。同时，日本也正在频频发生海啸，地震，火山爆发，造成许多伤亡。影片中也有许多让人心酸的情景--家人以及亲爱的人在海啸和地震中死去。最后，虽然日本没沉没，但却有两名英雄为了拯救日本而殉职了。他们无畏的牺牲让人向他们致敬。。。所以，其实这部影片真的是非常值得看的!

哈哈，就到这里为止吧，要去做功课了!

伟彬

nice movies !!!

2007-08-09T22:08:00.000+08:00

Watched The Simpsons Movie and Jay Chou's 不能说的秘密 today. Overall, I feel that the movies are quite average la. Not too bad.

For the Simpsons, it's plot actually revolves around the topic of "environment pollution". Quite a meaningful and interesting movie. The movie also has it's bits of laughter -- funny and crazy acts. Haha... Since it's a cartoon, it definitely has a nice and perfect ending...

For 不能说的秘密, the first 3/4 part of the movie was quite easy-going, lots of romance and love as the content. However, coming to the end of the movie, there was an expected twist to the girl that Jay Chou loved (as what the movie title suggests -- a secret that cannot be told). Anyway, I am not quite sure about the last part-- which was the secret of the girl Jay Chou loved. I think the girl can play the piano piece in the "Secret" document and she could travel back and forth by 20 years. That's how she met Jay Chou and fell in love together...

After watching two movies, I still managed to clear all my Chinese assignments... Haha... Cool, isn't it? Great, I will do math tomorrow !!

Haha...
Cyaz then,
PWP

national day !!!

2007-08-09T09:38:00.000+08:00

Ah !! this week is slack week... got 2 days of lessons only. The rest all National Day holidays !! Lol.. Great...

I just finished watching all 3 parts of the 无间道movie. If you watch all 3 parts, you will realise that actually the movie is structured in a way that it was showing the "Past, present and future". It was quite an enjoyable movie -- the plot, the acting, the twist and climax are all very nice. However, some parts of the movie are too confusing. Because, one of the features of the movie is that it "flashes back" to what happened previously and after awhile, it will just "flash back" to the present. So, in a way, the transition is not that smooth and I cannot sort of link up what has happened. But eventually, I still enjoyed the movie.

In short, the movie is actually about undercover/spies/moles. The traids planted spies in the police force and the police force also planted spies in the traids. So, both parties are actually trying to root out who are the spies and the fight and struggle goes on. So go watch it if you are interested !!

Took my Physics test on Monday. Lol, it was quite easy, easier than the previous paper the class took. Lol.. Haha.. Hope can get good grades..

I think i screwed up my Biology test on Tuesday le... I did not know how to do quite a lot of questions. Then i think i missed out quite a lot of points in my answer too (when i referred back to notes after the test). Hah, i think i going get scolded by Ms Tan le... =( Nvm, shall work hard for EOYE to pull up the grade. But then, back to the main point, Biology is all about memory work. I think I shall be like Joshua Lim to cosume 鸡精 before the exams... Haha...

I think 杨老师 is a very good Chinese teacher. What she gave as worksheets, homework, etc in one week is equivalent to what Madam Wang gave us to do for one term !!! Oh well, so you can see the rigour that 杨老师 is trying to achieve. Furthurmore, 杨老师 can go through one piece of assignment (comprehension MCQ + short answer questions) in just 20 mins !! While, Madam Wang goes through one cloze passage in 40 mins !!! Hah, what a vast difference...

Anyway, other than the rigour, 杨老师 is also very funny. When she goes through the assignment, she will sort of deviate and talk about how they mark the respective sections in 'O' Levels. Haha.. then she will start sharing her experience and some very funny ones. I think this will sort of help us structure our answer better and score higher marks. Haiz, sad to say, Madam Wang did not share this experience with us....

Lol, haha, got about 4 Chinese assignments to do over the National Day holidays. She really drills... =)

Ok, gotta do my homework now,

应该开始以华文来写博客了...

2007-08-05T13:06:00.000+08:00

意外吧? 我怎么用华文来写博客了呢? 其实也没什么可别的理由，只是想试一试以华语来写博客的感觉。哈哈!

我在周末看了哈利波特与凤凰社。基本上，应该还算不错吧! 片中的特效非常漂亮，有些好像烟花似的。哈哈! 但片中的内容好像只是书中的百分之二三十八仙而已。书中的内容被减了许多。片中有时也会让那些没读那本书的人不知道在发生什么事，因此能看出片中的内容不是很完整。但重要的情节还再啦! 希望第六部的影片能做得更好!

这几天过得还算蛮忙碌的。星期三的时候我没有参加物理考试，因为有早报的访问。那位记者蛮有幽默感的，而且还精通双语，实在是很了不起。除了访问，我们还拍了几张照。那位摄影师也蛮有趣的，他叫那些"铁人"比赛的参赛者弯他们的筋肉，显出铁人的模样。不知为什么，访问的内容还没登在报纸上。可能还得等上一会儿吧!

同一天里，还有英文同一测验，作文我写得没什么把握，可能是不知到以什么方式去写吧。SRQ的部分还ok，应该是没什么问题。

星期五不懂怎么了，连续有三个测验! 首先是社会学习的测验。这个测验老师有告诉我们，所以有所准备，还好。社会学习测验完了后，是数学课。但没想到会有另一个小测验! 以为数学课完后，能松一口气，但万万没想到，物理课时，还有另一个小测验! OMG! 怎么这样多测验啊?! 这是不是上天故意安排的? 好倒霉啊!

华文课时，我们有一位新的华文老师 -- 杨丹青老师。嗨，她一进班就是做应用文，然后又给我们做作文为功课。我想她一定会训练我们的作文到完美无缺(太夸张了吧?)。哈! 我想未来的日子应该不想王老师在的时候那么轻松了。

星期五也是何老师在学校的最后一天。她即将要和老公到阿德莱德去了。有些同学就和她去吃饭去了。我没去因为我还有其他的事情。哈! 我祝她事事顺利，身体健康。

我还要准备物理和生物测验，所以也该停止了。
我想偶尔我会用华文来写博客，感觉蛮不错的! 哈哈!

thanks all !!

2007-07-30T21:24:00.000+08:00

birthday !!!

2007-07-29T19:40:00.001+08:00

Just came back from Swensens. Went there to celebrate my birthday which is tomorrow !! Lol... Aiya, just a simple celebration with my family... Ate Chicken Cutlet as main course and ordered a "Regular Earthquake" as ice cream. This ice cream can choose 8 flavours de. So cool... Lol... So happy !! Wheee.... =)

Anyway, I didn't change my handphone. The offer too irresistable le. Everyone also go chiong and buy and the shop no stock !! And the nearby shops also no stock !!! Haiz... Have to wait for another offer le... Perhaps next Saturday bah... Shall see then.... =)

Feeling a bit giddy now actually, not sure why. I think it's because of the "Rum" flavour ice cream. Lol... Am i drunk?? (Exaggerating???)

Cyaz,
PWP

tests coming....

2007-07-29T12:02:00.000+08:00

Ah !! All the tests are coming soon. Gotta prepare for them.

Just finished writing my SRQ essay, lol. Basically, I completed all my homework le. Hehe...

This Wednesday will be test spam: English Term Test, Physics Class Test, IHE Geography Mock Test. Argh !!! So many tests, will I die??? =(

Maybe I should start studying now...

I think i going to change handphone. Change to Sony Ericsson W850i. Singtel got offer mah on 28-29 July. W850i only $98. If got trade-in, pay even lesser lor. Ooo, maybe I will change. Need to ask parents. Lol... The online reviews for this handphone look good. Handphone features are excellent but the reviews just reveal that the controls are difficult to press but have to get used to it lah...

Cyaz then,
PWP

sick...

2007-07-26T20:03:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, I am back to blog again...

On Tuesday, WANGWY came into the class and announced that she will be leaving soon and her last lesson with us will be on 31 July. The whole class knows that she will be leaving already, but the whole class just pretend they didn't know and say, "Huh? You are leaving? Why?.." Sounds so fake right? Lol...

She explained that she will be leaving as she is going to teach in an international school - United World College. And it's not in Singapore, it's going to be in Bangkok, Thailand !! Oooo. Well, she said that her departure will be good for us (??? Don't understand). Lol... She revealed that she liked teaching those Chinese Literature, Chinese Novels, etc. And she doesn't like teaching "bao zhang bao dao", which to her is low level of writing. So, these were the reasons she wants to leave.

Well, but who knows, what's the underlying factor behind her departure? Is it because of a higher pay at the international school? Well, perhaps it is...

Took the AMC on Wednesday. First few questions were relatively easy. Until like Q18, Q19, onwards, it's like dam difficult lah. I heck lah, just tikam and choose on option and just one write answer for Q26-Q30... Lol..

Haha, today also got Math Test 6. Screwed up the first question. My first working already sub in wrong value then the rest of my answers all wrong. Die !! Nvm lah... Today's Chinese lesson also dam slack. Gave us two Chinese articles and just briefly go through and was talking crap after going through the articles.

Anyway, today I was feeling sick in class. Sore throat, throat going to have no voice like that, Fever, Body Aches. But no flu !! Lol... Then the classroom was so cold, have to endure the cold...
After dinner, went to see a doctor. Usual illness lah => Fever and Sore throat. Got 4 types of medicine from the doctor=> Paracetamol, Antibiotic, medicine for sore throat and cough.

And now I am here typing, lol, after taking my medicine. Feeling much better now.

Gotta go revise for IHC mock test tomorrow le.
Cyaz,
Wei Pin

lots of things...

2007-07-23T21:21:00.000+08:00

Lots of things happened during the past few days. Aiya, but I lazy to blog about it now liao. Cause forget or le. Did not blog the last few days because either I too lazy or because I sianz diao.. Lol..

But anyways, the usual things happened during lessons.
WANGWY lessons were interesting when we did not have to write compositions. Everyone in the class will pretend to dao her and continue doing our things behind the desks. But sometimes, the class will just act enthu and pretend to read very loud for the passages she told the class to read. But isn't it weird, reading passages? Are we primary school kids? And one time she even exclaimed, "Ohhh... You all read very well... I give you all 1 ACE POINT !!" (obviously, she didn't say in English...)

Back to the main point, just like today's lesson, everyone was daoing her. She came into class. On-ed the computer. Went to http://www.zaobao.net/. Click on an article. WASTED time copying and pasting the article onto Microsoft Words which she could have just read from zaobao.net. Spent some time arranging and making the word document look neat. And when all was ready, 20 mins had gone. Well, that's WANGWY, she has 101 ways of wasting time. And she thick-skinnedly said, "I had initially wanted to give back your marked compositions but I realised that this article is very interesting so I decided to let you all read this article..." Lol lah, 99% is that she hasn't finish marking and was just saying that sentence to let us know that she is still very "hardworking". But well, there's a slight 1% chance that she really meant what she said. But it's FAT HOPE =)=)

I got my Harry Potter book from the school bookshop on Saturday and started reading it during the weekend. Finished about 100 odd pages on Saturday and stopped cause very tired after CCA training. Then on Sunday, I meng-ed. Lol, managed to read until page 555 (nice number isn't it? purposely de...lol) and stopped. Cause more or less I could have guessed what would happened next because the chapter on Harry entering Snape's memory more or less answered all the mysteries and question marks in the book. Finally, today finished the rest of the book. =) Whee... Overall, I must say that this book is very interesting. It has a lot of unexpected twists. Rowling must be a genius to come up with such wonderful plots. Well, the series has ended, hoping for (perhaps) a new series to be coming out from Rowling. Or has she earned enough? Hehe...

Today school got 1/2 day because of the great achievements of Track and Field, Gym and Judo. So lessons stopped at 10.40a.m. Lol, then stayed in class to play bridge and "tai di" with Louis, Adriel, Wei Han, Aaron, Kevin. Had lots of fun playing...

So sianz, this week got a lot of classmates going overseas:
Kah Loke and Jia Xi - now already in Taiwan for Ironman and GlobalTiC competitions respectively. Wonder how they are doing now. Taiwan is hot now.. lol... maximum about 36-37 degrees i think.
Yi Kai - going London for London Youth Science Conference ; leaving on tomorrow night. He said he buying Harry Potter at London, lol...
Adrian and Hwa Pheng - going to Beijing for some aeronautical summer camp ; flying off on the 30th, if i am not wrong.

Woa, so many people leaving and this period is the busiest time of the term !!

Well, nevertheless, I send them my well-wishes: for those in competitions, wish they will bring glory back to school ; for those who are attending courses/conferences, wish they will enjoy and gain a wholenew experience while they are out.

All the best!
Cya,

long time no update...

2007-07-18T20:53:00.000+08:00

Long time no blog liao... Well, let me re-cap the events:

Saturday & Sunday:

Went for VLC. Dam slack camp. We all thought going to be very hiong. Reach there first thing is ceremony. Haiz, then uniform not up to standard, tio scolded only. NO PUMPING. Haha, wheee... After ceremony are those usual stuff - Camp development, Opening speech, etc

After that was lectures after lectures. But in between also got break lah. Lectures were dam boring. Actually, I mean the content of the lectures were boring only, the lecturers were dam humourous, always cracking cold jokes.

20 plus people did not come for camp. However, they already pre-ordered the food. So they say cannot waste food. Then tmd, we had to eat more. Wa liew, we already dam bloated already lah, still need to eat more to clear all the food. The amount of rice can fill the paper plate fully + 3 Chicken Drumsticks and some other dishes. Eat until want to vomit lah. Haiz, is more food good or bad?

At night also nothing much lah. By the time night came, we were all quite tired liao, cause lectures really drain us off. After supper, went back to dormitory to sleep. Lol, never even bothered to bathe. Haha...

Next day, 6.00a.m wake up. 6.30a.m morning PT. PT was also dam slack. 30 pushups, 30 crunches, 40 counts of 4 of jumping jets and run about 2-3km only. After that was breakfast. Breakfast sucks. Porridge. To be more specific, it's chicken porridge. But how many pieces of chicken in one bowl of porridge? 2 pieces only. Argh ! Why lunch and dinner so nice then breakfast so sucky??

After that was some slack time until 9.30a.m for bunk inspection. Sianz, nothing to do also lor. After bunk inspection was team-building games. Played until lunch time. After lunch was just some area cleaning and packing up. And at 4.00p.m, BREAK CAMP !! HOOORAY!!! GO HOME !!!

Haha, when I reached home, I really dam tired le. So after dinner, I just fell asleep after eating my dinner...

Monday, Tuesday & Today:

These few days have been quite slack too. Monday was Racial Harmony Day. Lol, I became half game master half stall owner on that day le lor. Spent nearly 45mins to light up the charcoal fire. But in the end also no fire, just used the amber to cook. You know why so hard to light the charcoal? The charcoal had a fked up shape. Want to know what shape that was? Well, keep guessing and you will know. =) Anyway, when the amber was up, we "BBQued". Lol. The food turned out to be nice anyway.

Back to a game master, the Sec 1s and Sec 2s are fked up too. Dam playful, don't want to listen to me. Wanna live in their la-la land. Nevertheless, the day ended quite well.

Tuesday nothing much. Except for WANGWY lessons. Two very funny things happened. Well, it's difficult to re-enact here. Lol, but it was indeed funny. Lol, haha...

Today was a slack day too. Physics practical, english SRQ, biology continue to ask R-rated questions about human reproduction, IHE do foreign aid. Best of all, Math was no lesson. Mr. Png came in and said, "I give you all two options: One, we have lessons. Two, we ask Louis to stand on the chair and sing". Then everyone was like LOL-ing lah. Haha. Obviously, we chose the second choice and Louis sang Phantom of the Opera. Haha... La-di-da... So, the whole lesson was just singing and slacking away. Haha...

Lastly, I finished watching my Hong Kong drama - Forensic Heroes. Finally finished it right? Lol. It was very interesting and exciting. It gives me a greater insight to the world of forensic and there were extremely challenging cases too. Lol. According to the Web, there is a Forensic Heroes II which will start filming in September 2007. Lol, hope to watch part II of this show.
Meanwhile, I am still looking for new dramas to watch. Hehe...

That's all !
Long post =)
Wei Pin

going to camp soon...

2007-07-13T22:19:00.000+08:00

Never blog for past 2 days le. Lazy to blog. Haha...

Thursday's assembly rocks. My class, 4I dominates the whole assembly. Firstly, there was the commendation awards given out by the police to Ivan, Jing Xiang, Jingbo and Zong Ning for catching a robber !! Wow ! Cool ! Next, was the Principal's Dialouge Session. Lol, the Kai Qing and Nicholas Ong was the panelist. And again, 4I dominates. The grand finale - 4I Class Performance. It was a dam last minute performance. We only decided who to go up on Wednesday and you know what? The performers - Zong Ning, Gerald, Yew Wei and Xing Jin rocks. They performed so well despite not having any rehearsals !! And we got quite a high score of 8/10 from Mrs. Janey Sim !! Just today, we just got informed that we are going to perform on Teacher's Day !! Omg ! Last minute work still can win !! 4I ROCKS !!

Anyway, things aside, I must say that the past 5 days have been very slack. No homework everyday I go home. Lol. English lessons for yesterday and today were also very enjoyable. Lol, Ms. Loh suddenly make the whole class laugh like mad, especially with today's pronunciation lessons. Everyone had fun learning the correct pronunciation and learning some new knowledge. Haha.

Lol, organic chemistry seems difficult. Argh ! Today learnt how to draw isomers. Haha. It was quite fun drawing that too. Trains your mind to think too. I think one must be able to visualise the structure in order to draw out all the isomers. =)

Going for camp tomorrow. Coming back on Sunday. Monday is Racial Harmony Day so Sunday need not rush to complete homework. Haha. Argh ! Ms. Adeline Tan randomed and selected me to be a game master for RHD. Lol, in charge of a game called, "Bolah Tin", something like Bowling lah. Have to wear blue on that day. Wonder if I have a blue shirt....

Cyaz,
PWP

slack week

2007-07-10T21:06:00.000+08:00

Well, the past 2 days have been slack for me. Monday there wasn't any homework and today is Project's Day Semi-Finals and i am not taking part so can slack !! Hehe...

The first lesson on Monday was WANGWY's lesson. So boring. I think she never even planned for Monday's lesson. She just came in and do some crap worksheet on the short story that we went through last week. Argh ! Waste time !

Chemistry was next and then P.E. P.E. was extremely exciting and enjoyable. Lol, it was hip-hop lessons. So cool right? It was quite fun. Learnt some basic hip hope moves. But I sort of fumbled with it initially, but after a few more tries, it was quite ok le !! Lol, the instructor say all of us need to get the groove and the feel of the hip hop music (groove? sounds familiar? Project SuperStar Judge, Billy Koh also say that. Haha...) and we are too stiff already, must try to relax! Haha... Hmm, lol, dam fun, then the instructor increased the tempo and we have to dance faster. Argh ! Lol. Next week is Racial Harmony Day so no P.E. Well, the week after next shall learn more... Lol.

Later in the Day got Permutation and Combination test. Lol, the test need to learn definition and i never learn. Lol. "Explain what is meant by the Addition and Multiplication Principle". Argh ! Like that 6 marks gone liao, cause I never study. *Sob*...

Hmm, back to today. Today is a slack day. Project's Day Semi-Finals. Slacked the whole day at Auditorium. Never really listened to the projects though. Was listening to music on my handphone throughout. Lol. Slack slack slack. And the day just passed. Was dismissed from Auditorium at about 1.20p.m. Argh ! But still have to go for WANGWY's lesson. Must write Chinese Script Assignment. Sianz lah. Nevertheless, managed to finished writing at 4.00p.m and went back home after that. Lol.

Reached home liao, as usual, watched one episode of Forensic Heroes. Haha. Now left 10 more episodes then i finish the whole drama liao. Lala. Whee...

I think that's all !

Cyaz,
PWP

a great weekend

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

Hah, the weekend was great. I was slacking and resting as I was completely stressed out the last week and a good rest would be great and beneficial. =)

Well, I also continued to watch my Hong Kong drama, Forensic Heroes. Lol, it is a great drama. There are a lot of scenes of the pathologist and foresnics at work. Their job is so cool, lol. But nevertheless, I still find being a pilot the coolest. Haha... Anyways, I am halfway through the drama, not exactly half though. Watched finished 11/25 episodes. =)

My parents told me to push back the orientation day for my SYFC course. And yes, I have passed the interview and have been selected as a Student Pilot. Yipeeee!! So I called them and the suitable date was 27 October. Well, this date is great as the school's EOY exams have ended and I can concentrate fully on the course. Lol. And i think i am in 156BFC, it's just a code for the course cohort. Never mind about that. So i guess i will be starting proper flying in November after the orientation in end October. Wheee...... Here I soar.........

I am getting Jun Hui's help in Math on "Just One Page" Worksheets after school tomorrow. Lol, quite a lot don't know how to do. Argh ! Tomorrow also got Permutation and Combination quiz. Not sure if I can score or not, cause is self-study. Lol.

Just finished writing my testimonial. Lol, spent a few hours doing it cause I don't know how to phrase the wordings. Haha. And now I have finished it !! Good. But still got english composition template to finish. So......

CYA
PWP

long day...

2007-07-05T21:50:00.000+08:00

Hah, today was a very long day for me. Lessons started at 8.00a.m and ended only at 6.30p.m for me. Omg, such a long day. And all in all, I only had a 40 min recess, 10 min short break and 30 min lunch break. Omg, this is worst than working class adults !!! *sob*

Today got consortium assembly. As usual, there is the Ortus council updates and updates by Ms Koe about the latest happenings in Ortus. After that, there is sharing of JC life by 3 JC2 seniors from the college section. Woa, well, JC life seems quite ok and well to me from their sharing. Anyways, will always be looking forward to JC life cause it would be a whole new experience from that of primary and secondary school. A completely new, extremely new experience...

Ms Gwee gave back Semester 1 IHE Exam back. Ah, sianz, below class average. So many A1s... =( Sad..

Nvm, results for Term 2's Chinese Term Test looks satisfying. I got an A2, whee !! Was glad that my composition did not wrote out of point. Lol.

Official lessons ended at 4.00p.m. I then went for physics documentary screening, titled "Elegant Universe". It was an interesting documentary in which it talks about the forces governing the Universe. These forces are the Gravitational force, Electromagnetism, Strong and Weak Nuclear forces. In which, Electromagnetism, Strong and Weak Nuclear forces are grouped under Quantum Mechanics and Gravitational force under Einstein's theory of relativity.

This documentary then talks about the efforts of Einstein and other current physicsists to unify all the above forces to come up with one master equation which can be used to describe and explain all the phenomenon that the Universe is facing, including the Big Bang, black holes, etc.

There was this String theory that came up. However, it was faced with many problems and difficulties. Thus up till today, no one is able to provide a master equation. Well, someday, someone might.... =)

Argh, tired liao. Luckily today no homework so now can go sleep liao... Hehe...

PWP

slack day...

2007-07-04T22:53:00.000+08:00

Wednesday's timetable is always the slackest because there are two practical sessions and lessons end at 1.30p.m. So effectively, the time spent for classroom lessons is very very very little which is good !! Haha...

Had two practicals today - Physics and Biology. Nevertheless, I hope we can have Physics, Chemistry and Biology practicals all in one day. Lol, then it becomes an ultimate slack day. Haha...

Anyway, did not have WANGWY lessons today, so fun. But tomorrow is her double period !! Argh !! Are we going to write composition or letters again? Haiz, no choice...

I ended a meeting at about 4.45p.m or 5.00p.m, cannot remember exact timing. Was walking pass LT3 when i saw Ai Chin, my OB Mongolia instructor, in school. Lol, she was here to conduct the Term 3 Mongolia briefing. Haha. Then she told me to go in to chit chat. But go in liao also sit behind lah, the Term 3 participants just finished briefing and settling some admin stuff.

Then we chit chat about miscellanous stuff lor. Awhile only lah. About 5.40p.m, I left LT3 with sengky and bade "bye-bye" to Ai Chin. Lol.

Reached home quite late liao so eat dinner straight away. After dinner, watch a bit of TV and do a bit of Math and here I am blogging !!

Ok, nothing much liao, tomorrow will be a long day - from 8.00a.m to 6.00p.m.
Wish me good luck and the will to survive tomorrow...

PWP

back to school...

2007-07-03T21:23:00.000+08:00

Back to school today !! Quite a slack day, great for me haha.

Got back Math paper, hah, i supposed it's below average cause when Mr. Png give back that time I was one of the last few who got back (papers were given back according to marks, highest give back first) =( Sianz lah, got back then realised I made a lot of careless mistakes of which I lost 2 marks because I pressed calculator wrongly or somehow maybe I recorded wrongly !!! The answer is 26 2/3 then I write 25 2/3. Then lost 2 marks, wtf, T.T

Next was Biology Revision Test. Hah, didn't really studied much so didn't really know how to do the questions lor. Got two four marks question on labelling structures and I didn't study that !!! Argh !!! One on eye and the other on nervous system. =(=(

The day ended with WANGWY's lesson. When she came in, we saw that she didn't carry any composition questions so we cheered, clapped, became high as we don't need to write Chinese composition today. Lol. And she said she was disappointed that we had this attitude towards Chinese composition and it was not correct then she rattled on... (wasting time) She went through analysis of Term 2's Chinese Common Test. Class MSG was 3.11. ROFL. She said she was disappointed as we don't read and analyse the questions carefully so content marks lose alot. Something happened in the midst of it....

A cockroach crawled from Jun Hui's place then to my place then to Hwa Pheng's and finally to Wang Zhuo's Chello, placed at the back of the class. Hah, I thought the cockroach will spend it's time behind the lockers but suddenly, Yu Tung exclaimed and held the cockroach by it's feelers. Haha, then walked in front showed WANGWY and threw it into the dustbin. WANGWY's expression rocked, she seemed so scared of the cockroach and walked quite a distance back. LOL, the whole class was laughing at her expression. Haha =)=)

She then went through the answers for the cloze passages that she gave us as holiday homework.

Hooray !! School ended !! Go home.

Reached home at about 4.45p.m. Lol, continued watching a Hong Kong Drama. Actually, after I finished watching the Japanese Drama, "Good Luck", I continued watching a Hong Kong Drama titled, "Forensic Heroes". This is because Ivan gave me a very good website to watch dramas. Other than dramas, the website also got movies and animes. Website is http://www.crunchyroll.com/
I was browsing through the drama list then I noticed "Forensic Heroes" this Hong Kong Drama so decided to click and watch lor. Then released it was quite nice and interesting. =) The drama also quite new, released in Hong Kong in 2006 only. Yay, get to watch it early. Hehe... Just watched finished Episode 5 today, altogether got 25 Episodes... Haha, maybe one day watch one episode lor.

Maybe I have already found for myself what to do during October/November/December holidays. I will watch dramas on top of SYFC lessons (if i get selected). Cause the website seriously has a lot of cool Japanese and Hong Kong dramas. So I gonna spend my time watching these nice dramas. Haha...

Ok, quite tired for today already, just completed the english article presentation.

Cyaz all another time,

japanese drama -"good luck"

2007-07-01T21:33:00.000+08:00

Just finished watching a japanese drama - "good luck". It was recommended by Ivan, lol (refer to tagboard). As it was related to aviation (pilot), I was quite interested in it. And I spent my whole day today from morning until now plus about 2 hours yesterday to watch the entire drama series - 10 episodes. Well, the story was very very very interesting and touching. I don't really know how/why I feel it's great. It's just the feeling i get when i watched the drama. Or maybe because I am really interested in aviation and somemore this is in Japan (and I like Japan).

Maybe I will just summarise here:

In the story got one First Officer (FO) pliot named Shinkai, just graduated from pilot school. And there is this one flight audit officer (that's what they called it) named Captain Kouda. His job is basically to manage pilots and see their performance. This Captain Kouda is very well-known to be very mean to pilots and very strict, one mistake and it means a harsh punishment.

One day, Shinkai was flying with another Captain. Just before landing, the Captain's back start to ache and cannot handle the landing, so Shinkai was asked to take over. And so Shinkai took over and landed successfully. However, Captain Kouda saw this as an irresponsible act and dismissed the Captain who was flying with Shinkai.

Shinkai was not pleased with this and argued with Captain Kouda and because of that, Shinkai was suspended for two days. Shinkai did not want to apologise to Kouda as he felt he did nothing wrong. This made Kouda to continue suspending him. Shinkai realised that flying is his real passion and eventually went to apologise to Kouda.

Hah, to cut things short. In the drama, there were a lot of instances where Shinkai argued with Kouda and Kouda even told Shinkai straight off his face that he was stupid and was a failure as a person. And they argued a lot lor....

However, Shinkai did not know that Kouda had a sad past that led to him becoming so strict as a person now. Because 12 years ago, he was with another airline. He was supposed to fly but he was sick and called the standby pilot. Eventually, the plane crashed due to system malfunction. Kouda believed that if he flew the plane on that day, the accident will not have happened.

Conincidentally, the plane which crashed were the parents of a mechanic in the airlines named Ogawa. Shinkai also knew Ogawa as on Shinkai's first flight, after he landed, Ogawa (being the ground staff) told Shinkai off the face that Shinkai suck as a pilot, not knowing how to handle the plane.

And so, these three people had a lot of development. Nevertheless, Shinkai eventually got along better with Kouda. The story took a turn when Shinkai fell from 6 metres and broke some of his leg nerves, causing some reduced leg functionality, causing him not being able to fly. Actually, Kouda was responsible for Shinkai's accident. Kouda resigned in an effort to take responsibility for what happened. Shinkai stopped Kouda in the nick of time and begged Kouda to continue flying with him until Shinkai was a Captain as he felt that Kouda is really a good teacher and skilled pilot.

Shinkai told the risk of an operation to repair his nerves with the operation only having a success rate of less than 10% The operation succeeded. Shinkai was able to fly again. However, he has to retake some of the exams.

The final exam came when Shinkai had to fly to Honolulu with Kouda as his examiner. On the way, there was turbulence and many troubles in the Cabin and of course, they handled and everything was alright. Best thing of all, Kouda passed Shinkai and Shinkai returned to the team !

Things aside, Ogawa and Shinkai developed their love since their first encounter. At the same time, Shinkai was also trying to fix the relationship between him and his father as he ran away from home to become a pilot (to fulfil his passion).

Ok, that's all, ops, I guess that's quite long !! Haha, it's really a very nice drama, too engrossed in it already. Nevertheless, it had a happy ending. =) Lol, sorry if you all don't understand what I am saying above. However, if you all watch it, you all sure will understand de. =P

If want to watch, can go youtube. Search for "GL 1.1". Got 10 episodes - episode 1 and 10 broken into 6 parts and the rest into 5 parts. Each part averaging about 8-10 mins. Lol.

Hope you all will enjoy the drama (if you all are watching)

A million thanks to Ivan for recommeding this drama to me. Thank You, Thank You =)

Cyaz then,

PWP

2007-06-30T23:09:00.000+08:00

Lol, finally got time to blog. Monday got holiday because of Youth Day, YAY ! Can slack and rest more. =)

Thursday got math test. I think should be ok as 50% of test questions from "Just One Page" Revision Worksheet, lol... Sianz, then got WANGWY lesson. Went through some crap short stories and she got people to read paragraphs by paragraphs.

Anyway, just realised one interesting new pattern in our Term 3 timetable. WANGWY starts the week with the first lesson on Monday being her lesson ; WANGWY ends the week with the last lesson on Friday being her lesson ; WANGWY also ends the day on Tuesday and Thursday with her double period lessons ! Wow, this is dam cool lor ! =.=

Luckily, yesterday (friday) WANGWY did not come. Woohoo ! No lesson. At the very least, the week was ended in a good way. Lol.

Anyway, Kevin, Jun Lin and Louis going to Mongolia in week 10. Lol, asked them to help me buy some chocolates back from Mongolia. The Mongolia Chocolates are seriously nice, cool and most importantly cheap !!! More specifically, I like their dark chocolate. The other time I went, I bought one 70% Dark Chocolate and it was completely heavenly. Haha =) So, this time they going I must ask them to help me buy !! Lol, I also want DVD Movies from Beijing Airport. Also dam cheap, SGD 6 per DVD only. And I think it's original. Hehe, hope they can buy for me =)

Ok, today nothing much lah.

Tuesday got Biology Quiz, must start studying for it already.

Cyaz,
PWP

math test tomorrow !!

2007-06-27T17:23:00.000+08:00

Just came back from the SYFC Student Pilot Interview. Lol, quite good lah, should be able to get into the course. Waiting for letter to see whether I can get into the course. =)=) Wish me luck... The interviewer dam funny. I wrote that I want to join RSAF as military pilot and for other career options, I wrote commercial pilot with SQ.

Then....

Interviewer: "Why you want to join SQ? With your academic qualifications, do you think it's a waste to join SQ? SQ no challenge leh"

I was a bit stunned diao... LOL. But I replied, "RSAF would be my top priority".. Hehe =)

Anyway, things aside...

Yesterday's lessons are ok EXCEPT for last two lessons !! WANGWY LESSONS !! Sianz, tell us to do composition. Wth, then asked us to separate our tables to do composition like exam conditions and don't want us to talk. Haiz.... =(=( Aiya, no use typing all the bad things about WANGWY here, she's still the same boring and uninteresting (ops, these two words same meaning hor?)

Haha, today's lessons quite enjoyable. Great! Haiz, nvm shall not talk too much, I need to prepare for tomorrow's math test. Hope can score well. =)

Cyaz,
PWP

school starts !!!

2007-06-25T23:16:00.000+08:00

Sianz, today bad start for Term 3. First few hours already so many bad omen. But, luckily, today I did not see any black crow when I stepped out of the house, if not I really need to go to the temple already.

1st bad omen: I was on the bus, happily listening to music. Then 1/2 way through the journey to school, THE BLOODY 74 BUS BROKE DOWN !!! Sianz, then boarded another 74 bus together with Jonathan Tan. Managed to reach school in time for morning announcement !

2nd bad omen: I screwed up morning announcement. I read all the classes of the JC seniors wrongly. Argh !

3rd bad omen: WangWY ject me during her first lesson. Grrr..... She was walking around to check homework. Just as she was reaching my table, she turned away and went to check others. I called out to her and she told me to wait. Haiz...

Sianz, then WangWY was dam funny. She dam straightforward and direct and told those who never do, " 你零分"... Haiz, then she lectured us for another 10 minutes before the bell rang... La-di-da....

Woohoo, later in the day got biology lesson. Dam fun and cool cause new topic !! - Human Reproduction. Everyone's hormones were like raging.... become rhinosarus le =)

Coming back to the 4th bad omen: My handphone battery was flat when I needed it the most. Everyone was trying to contact me and couldn't do so. Argh, I was so fed-up....

Haiz, 4 bad omens in a day. What does it imply? Does it imply that my Term 3 is going to be screwed? Sianz, a new term is supposed to be greeted with good happenings and now.....

Currently, I am slacking my way through. Tomorrow then start studying math test bah.

Watched Campus Superstar 2 just now. Sianz, why everyone is supporting Shawn Tok. He go tok diao lah. He good meh? 13 years old only leh. Voice haven't break, obviously sing nice lah !! So what if he's cute? Act cute singers don't look good. Just now sing song still sit on the ground act cute, like baby like that... Haiz...

Seriously, this type of competition is no use one lor. Singapore lack singers meh? Need to so hiong in a short time produce so many singers? I prefer Star Search (or is it Talent search?). This type of competition is worth supporting. They search out for talents who can sing, act and host. A competition which tests all your skills. That's why people like Zoe Tay, Fann Wong, Tay Ping Hui, Li Nan Xing, etc can be so successful today. You hear their songs in drama serials, see them acting and even hosting. Haiz, how blinded can MediaCorp be to "cut" Star Search to become SuperStar, SuperHost and StarIdol... Sianz...

Nvm, currently need to study some aircraft (PA-28 and CT4E) specifications for my upcoming SYFC interview on Wednesday.

Need to memorise: Engine type, propeller type, fuel capacity and some basic principles of flight.

Whee, here we go...
PA-28 Engine: Lycoming, air-cooled piston engines. 4 cylinders, horizontally opposed.
CT4E Engine: Textron lycoming. 6 cylinders. Fuel-injected, air-cooled, horizontally opposed.

Yay, remembered the above two types without seeing ! Great !

Wish me good luck!

Another test since Wei Han and Nicholas are trying to find out how depressed they are:

Your Depression Level: 20%

You aren't depressed, and you probably already knew that.
Like everyone else, you have ups and downs.
But unlike most people, you've mastered keeping your mood stable.

Are You Depressed?

More tests since Nicholas Ong told me to do (lol...):

You Are a Mermaid

You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are.
While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need.
Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational.
You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else.

What Mythological Creature Are You?

You Are 40% Extrovert, 60% Introvert

You're a bit outgoing, a bit reserved
Like most people, you enjoy being social
But you also value the time you have alone
You have struck a good balance!

Are You An Extrovert or An Introvert?

Your Life Path Number is 3

Your purpose in life is to express your unique self.

You are a creative and artistic person with an interesting view on life.
Witty and outgoing, you enjoy sharing your crazy ideas with anyone who will listen.
A total social butterfly, you're the life of any party.

In love, you inspire and enchant your partner. You are often an object of fantasy and desire.

While you are very talented, you sometimes lack the ambition to put your talents in play.
And while your wit carries you a long way, you occasionally use it to mask your true feelings.
Your natural abilities can bring you all the success in the world ... if you let them

What Is Your Life Path Number?

Your EQ is 113

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!
51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.
150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

Just checked the EMB, and saw Yao Xing's message regarding PE lessons from week 1 to week 5:

Week 1: Height & Weight Measurements @ Kah Kee Hall. You will NOT need to change into PE attire.
Week 2-5: *Sports Education Program @ Kah Kee Hall (With external instructors) For Monday, Tues and the Friday PE group, you will learn 4 weeks of dance- specifically hip-hop dance. This dance program aims to improve your motor-coordination and enable you to pick up some basic-cool dance moves. Hopefully this will also increase your hip quotient in the process!

Cool diao, Hip-Hop lessons... =.= I supposed this is the first time HCI's PE lesson is like that one lor.. Last time, term 3 lessons, not swimming then soccer, not soccer then basketball lor.. Haha... Well, it will also be a whole new experience for me learning hip-hop dance. =)

Nvm lah, Nicholas said, "Learn now also good lah. Next year go HCJC got some faculty dance then also need to learn dance moves. So now learn better lor, got basic foundation."

Ok lah, that's true too, learn now, got advantage lor... Haha. =)

Yay, then can go follow 罗志祥 dance 精舞门 ah? Hehe...

"I wanna know
你行不行
you gonna know
别怀疑你自己的本领
you gonna know
我是冠军
you gonna know
we got to show
we are the word"

Sounds cool? Wait till week 2 when I learn... =)

Tired now, going to sleep.

mongolia photos

2007-06-21T12:00:00.000+08:00

I just uploaded some of my photos onto a website. You can view them under the "Transit" heading. The photos are all photos of my mongolia trip. (Lol, seems a bit late, 1 1/2 months late.. Haha..) My photo-taking skills not quite good lah and some are random shots... Lol...

Nevertheless, hope you all will enjoy! =)

[4 more days and school will re-open...]

Wei Pin

last week of june holidays...(new blog too)

2007-06-20T18:27:00.000+08:00

Changed my blog skin. Then realised same as guo dan's one. Haha, nvm lah. I like this blog skin can liao.. Haha..

Anyway, the June holidays are soon going to come to an end. What should i say? Are the holidays good or bad? The holidays are good in the sense that I can take some time to rest, enjoy and relax. Bad, in the sense that as it is not the end of the year yet, I somehow cannot experience 100% of relaxation and enjoyment. Haiz...

Yesterday evening got a primary school gathering. It was a memorable one. Met up with some primary school friends which I haven't seen for 4 years. Luckily, I still can remember some of them and they remember me too ! So happy ! Went to Marina Bay to eat steamboat. Lol, had a lot of fun cooking the food and joking around here and there. After eating, we went to the arcade. Played Daytona and Time Crisis II. (Quite old le hor, no choice lor, only got II there). We played until like 2245, then took a group photo and left le. Although it was only a few hours of gathering, we talked and exchanged a lot about what happened during the past 4 years. Perhaps, after the "O" levels, we can have another gathering again. =) [For pictures, refer to Desmond's blog]

Back to the present, I am still left with studying for math test 5 and the topic on Permutation and Combination. Haiz, not sure if I can complete on time or not leh. No choice, shall let nature take its course.

I think that's about all. Nothing much happened for the past week.

Wei Pin

week 3 of june holidays

2007-06-14T09:21:00.000+08:00

Went for PLTC 2007 from 8 June to 10 June. Lol, it was dam fun and slack. First day just do some admin stuff and slack in the computer lab. Haiz but evening cannot even enter the computer lab liao, got stuff to do. Hah, but actually also nothing much one lor. But never mind lor, go back classroom also got air-con. Watched 200 Pounds Beauty (Korean Movie) with Fox Scout Group Ventures, Siew Hui and Li Ting. Quite a nice movie. After movie ended, i shek liao, go back classroom sleep... ZzzzzZzzzz

2nd day got situational course. So we have to act as facilitators. I took "Immortal" group, got 3 Hwa Chong Scouts, Nelson, Jing Xi and Nicholas Chiang. Woa, cool diao. From the activities, it clearly showed that Hwa Chong Scouts are much better. I am not bias or anything but it was really true, the other schools' Scouts displayed a lackadasical attitude when I appointed them as group leader for the checkpoint. Or if they volunteered themselves, they don't want to co-ordinate or do anything. Haiz....

After situtational course, got campfire. This time's campfire compared to mine last time was heaven and earth. Maybe it was due to the lack of groups and participants this time. The quality of campfire items put up this time is low quality. However, got some really good ones. My PLTC last time you can laugh until you stomachache and roll on the floor one leh... =) After campfire, it's tekan time => Team-building Activities (Nice name given). I wondered how many times they packed and unpacked. Maybe about 20-30? Cause they did it from 2045 - 2400 leh. Just nice ended on 2400. Good significance cause a new day means a new start, put all those unhappy memories behind. =) Anyway, dam funny, when we just ended, got police come and say got residents complain too noisy. Lol, yay, that means PLTC rocks, "Shout like thunder, move like lightning !!"

3rd day nothing much, slacked all the way, woke up at 0730 lol latest time i ever woke up for a camp. Haha, break camp liao then go home lor....

Haiz, anyway, for the past 3 days, tried to clear some of my homework. Then now left 2 Biology Papers and all the math worksheets and chinese newspaper articles. Sianz leh, the 5 chinese newspaper articles. Haiz, no choice...

Just called SYFC today, changed my Student Pilot Interview to 1500 instead of 1355. And also asked when will I start course. They said end July to early August. Wooohooo !!! Yay, I can start to learn how to fly an aeroplane le !! Haiz, but start the course so early hor, will clash with exams. Inititally, i thought can start course like during October, just after exams (exams first week mah), then no clash. Haiz, but now will clash, don't know parents will object or not leh. But never mind, I will pursue my passion to the fulluest (is there such a phrase??)

Anyway, still must pass the interview first before I can start the course. If never pass interview, all those said just now are crap. Lol, haha. Wish me good luck !

Happily,
Wei Pin

week 2 of june holidays

2007-06-07T12:06:00.000+08:00

Another week of the june holidays have just passed like that. How time flies. =)

This week was pretty the same as last week. Slacking around at home, playing warcraft, watching TV. Haha, but also got do some homework de lor... Still got a long list to do. Must also take this time to revise some of the Sec 3 topics if not no time. But actually time flies very fast. Just in a blink of eye, we are in June and just in four months would be our exams and freedom comes after that !! Whee !! Then can enjoy fully November/December holidays !!

Things aside, I will be away as camp staff for PLTC tomorrow to sunday. Yay ! Finally, can go for PLTC as camp staff. So shuang, now it's my turn to see those people kenna tekan liao. Cool ! Haiz, two years ago, I was the one kenna tekan... =) But overall, the camp two years ago was dam fun. But never mind, shall see for myself tomorrow what's the camp standard is like two years later.

I think I will go to the Ren Ci vegetarian food fest on Sunday after my camp. Nothing to do and since the stall also got HCI one, might as well go support them. But, I saw on the website, need coupon to buy food one leh. Then coupon is priced at $50??? Wth, then how I eat there? Argh ! Never mind, I will find a way. Lol.

Shu yang and Pei Yit are walking CCA hike today. Lol, wish them all the best and pass the hike. =)

Ok, that's about all.

Slacking,
Wei Pin

first week of june holidays...

2007-05-31T20:43:00.000+08:00

4 days of the june holidays have passed.... roughly about more than 3 more weeks to go before school reopens. So far, I have only finished english comprehension 5 and handed in liao. Hah, but still got quite an amount of homework to finish...

Nothing much during the past few days. Morning play awhile, afternoon do some homework and play, evening go for PT, at night watch TV. Almost my daily routine liao.

Things aside, I was so happy when our team won the 1st for Youth Category in Startup. Whee so happy. But most of the team members not available so I guess when school reopens then we see how we can move from here. =)

Yup, I guess that's about all.

Stay healthy and study hard !
Good luck and all the best to those who are doing their projects !! May you succeed !

Best Wishes,
Wei Pin

holidays !!

2007-05-28T13:26:00.000+08:00

Yipee!!! The holidays are finally here. The various events are also over. I can finally take a good rest.

Roots & Shoots General Meeting on Tuesday was ok. Response was good. But a little bit of screw ups here and there. But never mind, we learn from our mistakes. The other schools were surprised by Hwa Chong's generosity to provide such delicious food for the meeting. =) Haha... But nevertheless, all of us did not manage to finish eating the food. In the end, have to get SLC people to finish up. Cool.... $300 plus worth of food for one meeting....

Wednesday's Geography Exam was killer. Woa, Ms Cheong's paper so difficult. Got a 6 mark then a 8 mark question. Argh! Sianz, never mind, over liao... The Rio Tinto Competition a bit easy. I think 70% of the questions can get correct one. So cool, then can get more ACE !!! =)

Thursday's chalet was dam fun. Reached there liao, first go arcade play Daytona with Hwa Pheng. Argh, I dio trashed! Sianz, then played Street Fighter. They say I jian use Storm then keep on spamming "Typhoon". Well, that's tactics. Haha... Then got BBQ. A few of us started the fire and continued cooking until about like 9.30p.m... Woa, so late liao, better go arcade play a few more rounds then come back watch "Get Unstuck In Time"... At 11.30p.m, we cut birthday cake for Yew Wei. Then they started watching movie, "Spiderman 3" and "Mr. Bean's Holiday". Watched until like 3a.m to 4a.m le. But I did not watch finish, slept like 70% of the time. Hah, tired mah.... Haiz, then nothing much le, slept throughout. Friday morning about 10a.m leave chalet le....

The light pollution talk was a blessing in disguise. In which, only 30 people turned up. Luckily only a small number turned up if not the star-gazing would last until like 11p.m or even 12 midnight already...

Startup Grand Finals on Saturday was ok. The judges were so humourous. Nevertheless, the whole group was confident that we will win top 4. Wheeee....

Over the weekend, the startup organizers spammed email about wednesday's prize presentation. So sianz, now got about like 5-6 emails from them liao...

Today woke up at 9.30a.m. Lol, continued playing neopets from yesterday. Actually after playing awhile also feel sianz diao liao leh. But never mind, got some time to blog.

Haha, actually now also nothing much cause playing and slacking whole day. Tomorrow going back to school to prepare for prize presentation. And hope on Wednesday we can get 1st prize then win liao !!! Whee !!!

That's all,
Slacking,
Wei Pin

finally...

2007-05-20T20:38:00.000+08:00

During the past week, I have been busily clearing all my school work and getting a good rest. There's a lot of school work to be cleared and the Roots & Shoots events are getting nearer and nearer.

Well, so that's the reason for me for not blogging during the past week. School is still the same, same teacher, same subjects, same work to do.

Left another one more week to school holidays. Whee!

Meanwhile, I have to gear up for the week:

Monday (Tomorrow): Preparation for Roots & Shoots General Meeting on Tuesday
Tuesday: Roots & Shoots General Meeting + Revise for Geography Exam
Wednesday: Rio Tinto Competition + Geography Exam
Thursday: Class Chalet at NSRCC (Evening till friday morning)
Friday: Star-Gazing Event.

Look at the number of "big" things happening. Argh! Shall endure with this before I really get a good rest during the holidays.

Enduring,
Wei Pin

back from Mongolia

2007-05-14T10:24:00.000+08:00

The trip to Mongolia was definitely a fun one. The exact programme details of the camp I would not say as OB courses' programme details are confidential. You will only know the programme on the day itself.

Basically, to sum up:
1. New friends were made
2. It was a wonderful experience with the weather, terrain and people
3. Activities were challenging and required a lot of teamwork
4. Communication is very important
5. Go with a positive mind and everything will be fun.

Even though some might be bored by the activities during the first few days (rock climbing, building of gers, etc), you will definitely feel reluctant to leave the country on the last day. I don't know why this happens but it happens.

On the last day, you will be thinking of the times when all of us actually have fun and play together. There are so much wonderful memories and you will be reluctant to leave. This is exactly what I felt on the last day.

It was sad during the time when we had to leave base camp for Ulaan Baatar. The departure was very abrupt. We were rushing to pack our things, clean up a bit and then have lunch before boarding the van. Time did not permit us to take photos with some of the ADRA staff who had been so enthusiastic in their performance and hospitality in taking good care of us. It was definitely a sad moment when we had to part with them.

However, some ADRA staff were also at the airport sending us off during the last day. We bade good-bye to each staff individually and they wished us all the best. We will definitely remember them. Our final good-bye came when we were at the customs waiting for our passports to be stamped.

Soon, it was time to leave. The airplane departed from Mongolia...

We are keeping in touch with the Mongolians. Perhaps, next time I will go to Mongolia again. Maybe for a holiday or another adventure programme at Mongolia. Perhaps, during then, I might meet up with some of the Mongolian participants.

32 people, 1 OB Mongolia Champion:
There was...
One who missed his graduation day to attend this camp
One who nose-bled throughout this camp
One who had his heart broken during this camp
One who found his love during this camp
One who fell sick during this camp
.
.
.
.
the list just goes on. Everyone definitely has his/her own identity during this camp.

These memorable memories will never be forgotten...

Reluctantly,
Wei Pin

before departing to Mongolia...

2007-05-02T20:43:00.000+08:00

Woa, I am so excited now, going to leave for Mongolia soon. Hope I will have a fun time in Mongolia => Take it as a short break from the crazy tests that I had during the past week.

Today gave back a few tests => Physics, Chemistry Biology. Grades as follow: All As, shall not reveal exact grade.

Today's Chinese lesson dam slack, Madam Wang only gone through letter writing and say composition went through before already so don't need to go through. =.= Lalala...

Then here comes the Higher Chinese Common Test. The questions I supposed are quite ok bah. I chose Question 1 and Question 4. The 说明文 a bit tricky lor. Question very misleading, can write out of question easily. Moreover, must also write about 重要性 and 方法. So much things to write. Die man! Hope I can do well for the tests (including Geography today).

Haiz, shall not dwell on it too much liao. I must look forward to the upcoming, exciting OB Mongolia Camp!! Haha!

Ok, I think that's all for today. When I come back on the 14th, will try to post the daily happenings if I can remember. 11 Days altogether leh... Will try...

Thanks !

Cyaz,
PWP

excited feelings...

2007-05-01T17:07:00.000+08:00

Sorry guys for not blogging for the past 5 days. Was too lazy to blog liao because too excited to go Mongolia for camp. xD.

Thursday:
Got biology SPA. Ah! Didn't read instructions carefully and luckily Ms. Tan hinted to me that the colour change was not supposed to be colourless. Heng ah! If not will screw up whole SPA. Thursday supposed to be nothing much. But got IHC test on friday.

Friday:
Whole class was mugging for IHC test whenever they can. Then Ms. Tan said, "What you all are studying, MAY not come out". Woa, then I was like sianz... But should not be decontextualised case studies. And Sri Lanka conflict will definitely come out. Mrs. Giam already like went through don't know how many Northern Ireland conflict. If come out Northern Ireland, then Sri Lanka conflict might as well not teach. This case is true if a decontextualised case study comes out. Never guess wrong, Sri Lanka conflict came out for the test. Hope can do well for the test.

Ah, Chemistry lesson, Mr. Vincent Tan never come because he is sick. Oh no! Cannot get back Chemistry Test Paper. Ah! Then must wait until next wednesday then can get back le... Sianz..

Saturday & Sunday:
These two days basically slack. Haven't studied for geography test. Sianz, went out to buy camp stuffs for the upcoming camp. Great! Spent most of my time out and watching TV.

Monday:
Combined Sports Meet. Dam slack. Go there sit there stone for about 3 hours and do nothing. High School Council wants us to cheer. Ok. Cheer lor. Want us to win Nanyang Girls? Fat and Slim Hope. How can a guy's voice be much more "powderful" than a female one? Unless, you are gay or sissy... xD. One scream from the female and you can start to get a hearing aid for the rest of your life.

Went to lilong's house for startup. Left at about 3p.m, I guess?

Tuesday:
Today at home got some matters so did not go for start-up meeting. Started only to study for geography at about 4p.m. Die man! Ah! Now, still haven't really studied finished. Ok, got to go and study now. So later can slack and watch TV. And tomorrow night, I will be leaving for Mongolia. So happy!!

I think I will post another entry tomorrow before I leave.

Cyaz,
PWP

crap...

2007-04-25T23:17:00.000+08:00

Today nothing much happen lah. During Chinese period, Madam Wang continued rattling on that our class thinks nothing about her Chinese lesson. Excerpts:

"我很仔细地改你们的作文."

"我花费时间改你们的句子, 改你们的错字,给你们作文的评语."

"所以我希望你们可以用心地去仔细重读你们的作文."

Ahem ahem. Who believes her? Let me show you my composition. Where to read her comments when there is none for me to read? Hah! Crap...

Today English lesson also slack. Go to computer lab do some 150 word essay competition. Haha, did not finish.

After school got ICAS, the test quite ok lah, hope can score well then got more Physics ACE points. Yay!

After ICAS, went to lab to do experiments for start-up. Sianz, also managed to solve the Math Challenge 5. So interesting. After finish experiments, still got like about 15-20 stalks of orchids left, then we go play with the rest of the orchids. Jia Xi and I put one stalk into each of the following solutions:

Chloroform, 20% isopropyl, 70% sulphuric acid, 0.1M Calcium Chloride, 50% Ice-Cold Ethanol, 100% Ice-Cold Ethanol, 50% Methanol, Extracted Colour Solution of the Orchid Flower

Oh oh! Torturing the plants leh. Aiya, never mind, just use the extras to try out for fun. Hehe. Tomorrow go lab see how the flowers are doing. Do they die? Tomorrow we shall know!

That's all,
Cyaz

half-way through tests

2007-04-24T19:47:00.000+08:00

Ok, start from the events on Monday.

The day kicked off with double Chinese. Lol, Madam Wang gave back our Chinese composition. Then she started analysing and going through the model essays. But she was very fed-up as many of us were not attentive and were talking/doing things among ourselves. Ah! Then she started making the following remarks:

我觉得你们越来越不尊重华文这个科目了!

如果你们只会科学和数学,你们只会成为只会操控的人!

你们学的这些知识在你们长大后有用吗? 没有用!

只有那些掌握好语文及人文科的人才会有成熟的思想, 懂得怎样好好地做人!

Wth, how could she say that of other subjects. This is no different from a racist => criticising critically about other things. Well, her rattling made time flies and the bell rang...

Woa, double English Ms. Loh today also not here. Ms. Andrea Hoa relieved. Yay! Slack period leh. Went through awhile the debate requirements and split up into Book Circle groups to come up with debate topics. Then all of us were crapping amongst ourselves in our respective groups. Lol, then very soon, bell rang... =)

After school, went back home after staying in school for awhile. Tuesday got Physics and Geography Mock tests so must go home early...

Tuesday:
Today all first three periods all tests => Physics and Geography Mock Tests. The geography questions came. I stunned => Test on urban microclimate. I didn't know that urban microclimate was tested !!! I thought Ms. Gwee said only Global Warming, El Nino & La Nina, Types of Climate & Vegetations only. Haiz, no choice, crapped out some answers. Geography is like that one. Test tell you study lot lot, questions come out only on one or two topics.

Next is Physics test. Woa, Mr. Tan very good, tell us a lot of "hints".. haha, and he say we will laugh when we see the question. Hah, ok, so today's physics test quite ok lah. Lol, the bonus question was interesting:

The question was set based on a scene in a movie (forgot what title le). Got two person want to escape from a prison, i suppose. Then the prison got high voltage power lines.
One said,
"Are you crazy, we are going to get fry!"
Another said,
"Didn't you take high school physics? When we are wearing shoes, we wouldn't get electrocuted!"
Question: Who was right? Why?

I chose the another one. Lol, some others have different answers. But never mind, bonus question only. FYI only...

Double Math was interesting. Today, i dio called up by Mr. Png to do questions. Argh! Lol. Goh Wei Leong also got called up. Question: Integrate (1/3x+1) with respect to x. Lol, do until got 1/0. Oh oh ! Undefined. Haha, dio Mr. Png do 10 push-ups. Lol... Woa, then Goh Wei Leong later got called up then know how to do a difficult question: Integrate (x/x+1) with respect to x. Woa, whole class only he and jun hui know how to do. Maybe the push-ups make him wake up!!

English was interesting. Ms. Loh was very humourous and keep on niaoing Kevin Seng. Haha, there are good times and really bad times.

Woa, Chemistry practical Mr. Vincent Tan not here. Ah! Lab technician, Madam Long took over. She very nice, very patient. Then we also obidient do our own practical lor. Haha...

Now, at home, tomorrow got Biology test! Lots of facts to remember. Topics => Homeostasis, Eye. Argh! Got to study now!

Cyaz,
PWP

test week...

2007-04-22T22:21:00.000+08:00

I never blog for the past 4 days cause I am busy as test week is coming.

Well, for the past 4 days, quite a hectic schedule.

Thursday's Math Test should be quite ok bah, left one 4 mark question blank. Tadah => GG!! Friday got CCA, Saturday got CCA...
Haiz, only sunday get to rest AWHILE because have to revise for tests.

Today whole day revised for physics, do math and watch TV only. Still got biology and geography mock test haven't study. Die man, don't know if tomorrow have time to study or not. Biology more scary, because geography mock test only.

Today, physics revised magnetism, current and practical electricity. Do the Physics Workout MCQ Questions. I think altogether i did about 150 MCQ questions. Tired. The structured questions one only do a few circuit analysis questions. Because, dam sian liao... Haven't revise waves, maybe tomorrow just look through formulas can le...

Then finished up math. Cool, luckily not much homework.

Then now got time to blog. Haha..

That's all,
PWP

normal day

2007-04-18T21:58:00.000+08:00

Today's Chinese lesson was a "surprise" class test. Madam Wang just came in and gave us the questions. Then got some people late for Chinese lesson then got less time to do the test. Oh... =(

Today nothing much. My flu is more or less ok now already. But don't know why in class suddenly feeling abit feverish. But now as I am typing, quite ok le.

As I am feeling feverish, today did not go for weights training. Implies that I PON diao lah... xD. But got miracle, I recovered! Went for light pollution meeting. Finalised more details.

Went back home. Slacked awhile, cause very tired don't know why. Then got physics worksheet, biology worksheet, chemistry worksheet. Then ZAM. Implies that I finished the worksheetS liao lor... Hehe... So happy. Revised math.

Ok, for now, need to complete part of english essay and do content for Japan trip Open House. Implies that lots of things still need to be completed and cannot sleep early. =(

I hope can do well for tomorrow's math test. I revise that time just glanced through examples and exercises only... Don't know whether enough or not. Hope can do well!

Cyaz,
PWP

flu...

2007-04-17T21:41:00.000+08:00

Today is a bad day for me. The flu bug in my body (believed to have been already inside since last week) finally unleashed it's DNA into my body cells, causing my nose mechanism to spoil, causing water to keep dripping off my nose. Oh gosh ! Utility bills must be high this month. Time to get a plumber to repair it too...

It was an uncomfortable feeling and with water coming out of my nose, it's really difficult to concentrate during lessons.

During recess, went down to eat laksa in hope that it can sort of stop the problem. It worked but when I stepped into class (air-con is on already), the water start coming out again. It must be the air-con's fault, it must be disinfected!! They don't want to off the air-con and open the windows. Never mind, next time I recover liao, you all dio it (I wouldn't say touch wood here), see how you all feel. Then i don't want open windows or off air-con for you all. Even Mr. Png also got it lah, he sneezed two times xD.

Something unfortunate happened during English lesson. Perhaps, the gases have been trapped in the volcano for too long. The immense pressure has caused all the pyroclastic materials to explode out... Sad... Serious damaage to environment, community and animals. Never mind, that's what roots & shoots is here for !!

Today's post quite short because I quite tired and also nothing much to say lah.

Cyaz, take care,
PWP

start of a new week - week 5

2007-04-16T21:18:00.000+08:00

Sunday was pretty slack at home. Usual stuff - doing homework, slacking, watching TV...

Today's sun is scorching hot. Sweating everywhere I go. Double period Chinese, Madam Wang became very serious becuase got Head of Chinese Department, Mr. Tan Yew Keng, to listen to her teaching... Nothing much.. everyone can see through that she is putting up a very good show...

Double English is very funny. We were supposed to discuss in groups about our composition template. Then Ms. Loh wrote her suggested framework on the board for us to follow when discussing our template. Then suddenly, Ms. Loh made the following remarks:

"The more I look at the template, the more I feel it's very perfect."

"With such a good template, I think you guys should not give it a miss so please copy down now. Please copy it on a fresh piece of paper as such perfect work should deserve its place on a clean, fresh piece of paper."

"Guys, you cannot copy in pencil because the pencil mark will fade away.. Please copy it in pen."

LMAO, ROFL, I was laughing like mad in class. I could not stop laughing when Ms. Loh made the above remarks... =.= Most interesting English lesson ever...

As usual, went to weights room for training after school. This time got a solid training programme liao. Dam cool.. Haha...

Went to lab after eating lunch. Very long never step into lab and do experiments le... Now feel so strange about the lab equipments, luckily not to the stage of complete strangers. Did colour pigmentation test. Got rose syrup to drink.. Hehe...

I suppose today no homework so quite free...

Cyaz then,
PWP

ironman contest...

2007-04-14T22:12:00.000+08:00

There's nothing much on friday. Got ironman briefing and CCA after that.

Today's ironman preliminary contest very fun and challenging. It really stimulates the participants' minds to think creatively and fast.

First task: Design a car using provided materials in 2 hours. The movement of car can only be induced using a cloth peg. (There are also other tiny little details/rules but shall not mention here, too long)

The above is the overview of the first task. Quite challenging uh? You have to decide how the car will move. Moreover, you have to carry some drink packets (full). The more you carry, the higher your score. Nevertheless, some groups decide to bend and play with the rules, using unorthodox methods... Results: More than 50% of the teams = 0cm moved...

Second task: Teams are divided into two groups. First group: Translate a series of questions into codes (cannot use any known language, symbols, shapes, etc). Second group: After first group has coded, second group is supposed to decode and answer the question. I in second group so have to wait for the code to come then i can decode and answer the question. Woa... first group code so long... then the code come to my group that time only left 10 mins. OMG! Meng liao... Managed to decode like half half of every questions. Then got one math question, no time to solve, die man... Got one question free frag give back 5 points: "Twelve TWINS twirled twelve twigs. Are there enough for everyone?" Wa lao, I didn't saw it was TWINS, so I thought enough for everyone. Then it's actually 24 people so not enough.... ARGH !!!!

Third task: Teams are also divided into two groups. First group: Find the code through solving puzzles to unlock the box which is with the second group. Louis and Adrian in second group cause after first group solve the code liao, the people have to use chairs to cross over to the second group... But then hor, the second group people can also try any random combinations to unlock the locks. So cool...! Initially, we thought we got the code by solving the puzzle but it's not the correct code. Lol, the we communicate to second group by putting the paper into the wheel and roll it over... Louis dam pro, managed to get the code by random trying. YAY ! Then we completed the task.

Finally! The competition is over. Great! Scores are out - My team was ranked 9/11... Nevertheless, this is still a good experience for us. The NCC Team managed to represent Singapore/Our School to take part in the Ironman in Taiwan. Wish them all the best!

When I reached home dam tired liao. Going to sleep soon...
Cyaz,

consortium assembly - inspiring speech

2007-04-12T22:32:00.000+08:00

Today's consortium assembly is very interesting. Jia Xi and I presented on roots and shoots. Don't know how many people got the message that we are trying to get across. Hope that more Ortusians will join roots and shoots to help us in planning and facilitating of events. You will definitely benefit from it...

Ms Cheong also made a presentation. The title is "Carrot, Egg, Coffee Bean". I saw this story before on emails. But sort of forget liao. But Ms Cheong's presentation sort of refreshed my memories on this story. Ms Cheong's presentation was extremely meaningful and touching. She related her own personal lifestory to the context of the "Carrot, Egg, Coffee Bean". She talked about the moment her family knew her mum got cancer to now how she had accepted the fact. It was really touching. Just imagine suddenly one of your beloved is down with a terminal illness/disease, how would you feel? How would you react? Would you spend as much time as possible with him/her? Or would you rather give up on her? This case is also similar to that of the euthanasia cases. Although the patients are in a PVS, their family members should just cherish the moments they can spend with their beloved ones. At the very least, there is still a hope of recovery/miracle for them... Do not risk the chance of losing them by subjecting them to euthanasia...

Well, we should all look things on the bright side. That's why Math lesson is always interesting! Mr. Png niaoed louis say, "You don't go Mongolia, later you cannot ride the horse. Later the horse ride on you and not you ride on the horse". Lol.. haha...

Today's biology lesson mentioned about "size does not matters..." Lol.. haha.. sort of related to the above paragraph... =)

Lol, after biology lesson at 1520, Louis, Wei Han and Raphael started a "brain-fight", poking into one another's brain. Got some commotion. Then escalated to a physical fight - chasing here and there, hitting here and there, slamming here and there. Oh no! Take pictures! Haha...

After awhile, go eat lunch. The noodles put chilli padi and lots of pepper. So hot! Too hot later bleed.. Lol... But still can take it... lalala...

Then go lab awhile then go back home le..

Reach home, Cao Yue told me going to have fight tomorrow between HCIS and HCI (a real fight)... I smell trouble... Shall see what happens tomorrow........

Cyaz,
PWP

don't know what to put for title...

2007-04-11T22:43:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, never blogged yesterday cause nothing much to blog about. But got physics and chemistry practical. Quite fun, practicals are always fun. Physics do magnetic field and Chemistry do exothermic reactions. Then afternoon got roots & shoots meeting. Must really decide on which activity to do le !! But finally, luckily we arrived at a conclusion. Phew...
Don't know why my handphone suddenly spoil. Keypad malfunctioning, argh ! What to do about it? You guess...

Today was quite interesting. I first lesson already dio niaoed by Ms. Gwee liao. She returned a worksheet on tropical rainforests. Then got one question must draw features of a tropical rainforest. Then my epiphytes draw until very "pro", then she exclaimed, "Attack of the epiphytes ah !!" She also mentioned some others who had almost the same mistake as me one lah. Then she remarked, "I must go photocopy all these. Then archive them. When I am tired/bored, I can take these works out and have a good laugh to de-stress!" Lol.. haha, left a great legacy behind already...

Presented on sugar fuel during Chemistry. First group to present so I guess expectations lower hor? Chinese was all-time favourite slacking... Math got homework to do! I don't understand much about trigo differentiation. Die man !

English lessons are getting more and more interesting and fun. Ms. Loh from the everyday scolding become everyday laughter. Today, Kai Qing and Eugene got niaoed. Actually, I already warned them but they don't want to listen to me. I smsed them, "Do not talk among yourselves. She is looking at you". This sms was actually sent during Chinese lesson (but in fact, they were also talking during Chinese lesson). Then the two ganged together, smsed me back, "jealous ah?" Ok, fine lor, don't listen to me. HAHA ! Then English lesson talked among themselves lah, got caught by Ms. Loh.

"Kai Qing, what's the meaning of non-penal?"
"Errr...."
"Eugene, would you like to help him?"

Haha, warned you all le don't want listen lor. Not my problem. Already warned you all during Chinese lesson. I CAN TELL THE FUTURE ! FUTURISTIC IS ONE OF MY TOP 5 STRENGTHS ! Lalalalalalala

At 1400, got English Term Test. About Nepal, so interesting, it's so beautiful. Then, just now, knew from En Loong that it was actually last year Sec 4 EOY English Paper =.=. Teachers are indeed playing their part in recycling => recycling of test questions. Lol... Summary was ultra super diffiuclt. I dont know what to summarise. The scope is just too big. So, just picked a few lines from each paragraphs...

1730 got Mongolia Camp briefing. Looking forward to this camp. Cool! Got to know more details about the camp. So happy! Yay!

Cyaz,

monday blues

2007-04-09T22:31:00.000+08:00

Today no flag raising so stayed in class. Then started reading period. Then suddenly got one hornet fly into the classroom through the window which Joshua was sitting near. Then Nicholas got so scared that he immediately dashed to the front of the classroom. The hornet flew around, "scaring" people of 4I. Then also suddenly fly near to me then I also go to front of classroom. Then fly fly fly liao, suddenly fly out of window. Good opportunity - everyone slammed close the windows. Whee! No more hornet! However, Mr. Ang Lai Chiang suddenly come in and exclaimed, "You all starting a riot ah?" =.= No one answered. Actually, someone should answer and help defend our class. But, never mind since he did nothing much too our class.

Chinese period was dam slack. Within two periods must complete one close passage and comprehension which is from the 2004 O Level Higher Chinese Paper 2. Then counted as assignment marks ! Argh! But still managed to finished 5 mins before lesson ended.

After Chinese was P.E. Today 2.4km test. Woa, scared! But tell myself must relax. Started running and stopped after running for 4 rounds to walk awhile. My leg still hurts after 800m on thursday and due to the fact that I did not even get a good rest due to Sixer Training Camp during weekend. Nevertheless, timing => 12:50 ! yay! I think i missed C grade by 10 seconds.

Physics was interesting. Started on electromagnetic induction. Then suddenly Mr. Tan said:

"Hard hard go in,
soft soft come out,
in out in out,
got juice come out"
What's that? SUGAR CANE lah! Don't think dirty. Haha.

Got niaoed during English lesson. After presenting on children rights and women rights. Ms Loh was having a discussion. Then i was looking somewhere else with my attention not paid to her. Then she said I was being "very attentive". Yes, I was being very attentive what, I looked somewhere else but that does not mean that I am not listening. Haiz, never mind.

Today also gave pull-up training a skip due to Ironman Competition Briefing. Then after briefing go lunch, after lunch went back home already.

At home do homework. Finally finished at about 2100 plus. Then now settling some roots & shoots stuff.

Cyaz,
PWP

sixer training camp

2007-04-08T22:47:00.000+08:00

Weekend was spent in Greenridge Primary School for sixer training camp. Went there to act as faciliator for the camp. Enjoyed myself quite a lot. Except for the fact that some of my group people do not want to cooperate when doing things. Then I shouted a lot, nearly lost my voice by day 1. But generally, they were quite good, enthusiastic, obedient.

Throughout the camp, there were happy and sad moments. Had to push them to walk faster during the day 2 hike, settle down, sit down. All these have to shout. Even write reflections also don't want to write, have to force. Force already no use, then too bad lor. What can I do? Anyone tell me? Pump them ah? No way, I get killed by their parents.

Finally, day 3 came. Woke up at 7.45a.m (latest ever woke up in camp). Felt so great. I will be leaving camp at 9.00a.m to go for medical checkup. Went down for breakfast. Saw my group's cub scouts. They were enjoying breakfast. After breakfast, sat down with them. Then gave sort of like a closing speech. They enjoyed the camp, learnt a lot of things, no regrets in coming to this camp. I think they felt sad that I was leaving (Oh ! Lol...) I wished them success in their future scouting life as cub scouts and scouts (if they ever continue) and hope to see them once again in future years. Then said, "BYE-BYE, SAYONARA!"

Reached home, went for medical check-up first. Really dam tired. Luckily, most of the homework was completed le. Ok, did some more homework. Now, after blogging, I am going to sleep le. Tomorrow still got 2.4km test...

Cyaz,
PWP

long day...

2007-04-03T22:32:00.000+08:00

Today double physics went through SPA Skill 3. Woa, Physics one is quite different than that of Biology one. Then must do one practice as homework. Lol, then left 10 mins, don't know why ended up talking about taking part in Sports Meet. Mr. Tan shared his experience that he had when he was our age. He said he did not win but it's taking part for the sake of having fun! I agree with him that it is fun taking part, you do not really lose out anything physical. However, sometimes one just cannot overcome the embarrassment and laughters/niaoings. Nevertheless, I am going to take part in 800m event on Thursday. At least get a 7th. Lol...

Today also get back IHC mock test. Mrs. Giam only managed to mark 2 questions out of the 4. Then i scored 8/12, not like Jun Hui, 11/12. But then quite a miracle lah, I thought I wouldn't do well but still, quite satisfactory results.

Chemistry lesson was quite slack. First period teach and go through Chemistry stuffs. Then second period go computer lab do structured ACE. Yay! Mr. Vincent Tan rawks, give us opportunity for ACE. My group got Wei Han, Hwa Pheng and Jun Lin, thinking of doing on sugar fuel. First time heard of this as it is new, technology just reported this year. This was found by Wei Han. Great job !

After school, got Start-up meeting. Haha, settled more stuffs. But shall not divulge here, cause got rival teams out there. Wish all the teams all the best! Cat 11 Prelims coming liao, work hard!

Reached home very tired liao but still have to finish homework. ENDURE!

Take care,
PWP

so long never blog...

2007-04-02T23:43:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, it's been about 5 days since i last blogged. I did not have the mood to blog as I was feeling a bit sianz... Yes, it's this word sianz again, but what does it mean? what does it entail? I don't think there's a fixed definition to it, it's just a natural feeling that just comes to you. Experience it yourself then !

Well, I have thought it over, it's rather tiring for both me and you (the reader) to type and read the whole long post respectively. Thus, I think I will just blog the main events of the day. If not, people ask, "Why your blog so long one ah?" Quite true though. So... yah.. change lor.

Let's summarise the events:

Thursday:
Got called up by Madam Wang to answer questions. Dam crappy, don't think I did a good job. Did not really elaborate much. Then she keep on socratic questioning me, then I stonned. xD. But don't know how much I got lah.

During assembly, got music performance by 4B & 4C. 4B performed Luo Zhi Xiang's "Jing Wu Men". It was a nice and interesting attempt. But, the impact and fast rhythm is not there. I supposed this song was supposed to be impactful. I couldn't really feel the impact though. But overall, it was quite good. Also during assembly, got the Justin Lim talk: Talk about dress sense. Then got what measure your leg, determine your body shape (triangle, trapezium, rectangle, just no hemispherical (hehe...) ).

Last two periods got Biology Revision Test. Completely GG-fied, don't know how to do a lot of questions. Then got back Pop-Quiz - saddening marks. Guess how much i got? FAIL...

Friday:
First two periods - Double chinese. Went through answers for O level Higher Chinese Paper 2. Then don't know why, Madam Wang kept on repeating some of the points she said. Then 2nd last period got IHC mock test. Completely owned by Ms Adeline Tan cause Mrs. Giam not here then she relief. Excerpts:

"4I, when you see such a pretty teacher like me ! You should know how to suppress your raging hormones!"
"4I, I am not going to start until i see the rows and I am going to leave at 1250 sharp. No extra time !"
"This class is really disgusting, you know what is disgusting or not? So dirty and the notice board is so ugly"
"4I, you are deteriorating, really deteriorating." (Did she relief us before? Where is the comparison drawn =.= )

After school ended, went to help out in Scouts for the Sec 1 to Sec 3 camp. Supposed to help out for inspection and tent-pitching. In the end, ended up buying and carrying food for the camp. Lol... Because raining then cannot do inspection and tent-pitching. The Sec 3s's foodlist not properly done so had to spend some time, planning and doing. Then finally, at 1600 plus, went to Coronation NTUC to buy. Really bought a lot. Total amount is about $270 plus plus. After helping them carry food back, went home liao. I still need to do reports to be handed in on Saturday.

Saturday:
Went for Venture activity. Lol, no flag break cause i think the Scouts already did it in the morning. Actual activity started only at 9.15a.m with rescue signals test. Quite easy, got one question wrong but still passed! Yay! Then footdrill => drill, drill, drill. Luckily, I command quite good (haha), then passed. Most of them passed, cause quite easy. Just need to:

1. Size according to tester's requirements
2. 5 Langa
3. 10 Begrag
4. Marching - pusing, impek, pandang, hormat, tuka, beloh

Today, so happy, passed 5 tests altogether (3 reports, 1 rescue signals test and 1 footdrill test)
Yay, then all finish commanding liao, just nice 1145 => Dismissed !
Went back home and slacked, i think i watched quite a lot of TV programmes on Saturday...

Sunday:
Woke up at 0900. Parents went to temple and pray already. As usual, I watched the children programmes until 1100. Then went online, saw only a few people online. Nothing much to do actually. I think after that, ate lunch. Then after lunch, continued watching TV programmes. During weekends, on channel 8 at 1530, got "Price of Peace - He Ping De Dai Jia - Hwa Pheng's Price" xD. Then slacked all the way until night then go sleep...

Today:
Madam Wang came in and want to finish going through O level paper => left summary only. Then she summarised herself on the spot, cause she keep on pausing to think then we know she don't have answer key. Moreover, she keep on changing the answer. And the answer scheme came out to became screwed up. For one sentence, you can get 6 marks... =.=. Never mind, no choice, accept reality. Then she collated all the scores...

Then today also nothing much lah. Because last few periods also quite slack, go computer lab do research but actually chit-chatting. Math went through test paper. Luckily got A1, but low A1... Got 2 full marks in class. Congrats those, I wish you next time in test get 101%.

After school, went for weights training. So little people only. Great! Can use the facilities more efficiently. Then as usual, train the usual stuffs. Lol. After weights, got roots & shoots meeting. Asked Philemon to go ask his brother and father more about light pollution le. Should be able to start churning out more concrete details soon. Finally! Can get started le! The meeting only a short while so went back home after that. Nothing much for today though. Today also no homework ! Haha!...

That's all
Blog again tomorrow (Summarised version)

slacking day...

2007-03-28T21:21:00.000+08:00

Today is a slacking day as the timetable is seriously screwed up and teachers have sort of forgotten that they are supposed to come. Read on...

The day started off with Geography lesson. Jun Lin and Adriel presented on El Nino and La Nina. So interesting lah, the topics... Quite applicable in our lives too. An example would be the freak weather experienced nowadays. Guess we have to do our parts too, who knows we will be doomed the next day - tomorrow...

Lol, chemistry lesson was also nice because Mr. Lim Teck Huat was sitting in to listen to how Mr. Vincent Tan teach. Yay! Then started new topic - Chapter 3: Energy Changes. So interesting, introduction of this topic started with the KWL (Know-What-Leart) approach. Then Mr. Vincent Tan told me to say my part for KWL:

"I know about the terms exothermic and endothermic generally but I want to know more details of these two reactions."

It sounds like a politically correct answer... Then so interesting, got to know about energy changes and energy levels. The time ticks away and Chemistry lesson ended so soon... Got worksheet to do... YAY !!

Physics lesson was replaced by IHC. Mrs. Giam went through SBQ (Source-Based Questions) - the techniques and skills to answer. So cool, at least through this, I finally understood clearly about the conflict in Northern Ireland.

Chinese lesson was uber interesting. Madam Wang need to go off 10 mins after she stepped in as she needs to be the judge of a Chinese Debate Competition. Then she gave us discussion questions on "亚洲周刊". We are supposed to find the answers and talk in class tomorrow. Then she wanted to collect the O level practice paper. Then got some people never hand in, she very angry. Just as when she was scolding, Madam Wang suddenly exclaimed:

"是谁的手机在响啊?"
Then she looked around, whole class gave her the stunned look, then she suddenly realised:
"OH是我的!
Then whole class was LOL-ing. But seriously, I didn't even hear the ringtone so how could it be the students? Thus, definitely must be her. But then, I can sense that Madam Wang is very sorry and embarassed about this incident.

Haha, then the rest of the Chinese period was slacking... Although no teacher, also must maintain discipline mah. xD.

Mr. Png came in shortly. Today learnt Connected Rate of Change. A bit chim. Haha, Mr. Png told us to read examples ourselves. Then i 1/4 understand 3/4 don't understand so not "一知半解" le.. =P. Then Mr. Png explain finish examples already, never give assignment cause tomorrow got Biology Revision Test. Yay ! Mr. Png so good !! Mr. Png said:

"Go study for Bio, go study AMOEBA", the way Mr. Png speaks this very funny... HAHA...

Then Physics lesson should be next cause of some swopping. Then Mr. Tan never come. Don't know why. Contacted all means, no teachers responded. Too bad, what to do? Oh, today got so many free periods... Whee.. Luckily, the class not so noisy until other class teacher come and complain if not trouble liao. HENG...

English lesson also nothing much, go through SRQ template then tomorrow need continue discussion.

After school, went to weights room to do pull-up training. Woa, so tiring until my arms also numb liao. Stomach also pain liao (cause do sit-ups too). But never mind, I can ENDURE. After pull-ups, go canteen eat. Then hold the utensils wanna cut the chicken chop also difficult cause no strength liao... Haiz.. but still managed to finish the meal.

Then home sweet home liao. Ok, reach home liao, must do homework and revise for biology.
That's all..

long and tiring day...

2007-03-27T23:26:00.000+08:00

Today proved to be a long and tiring day after mugging for math test 3 until 12a.m yesterday night (or morning ah? 12a.m)xD. Luckily, today the commander not like Donald or Daffy Duck liao. Much better, great, shout deeper and with more GUSTO !

IHE (Geography) was the first lesson to start the day off. But then quite sianz, cause learning how to draw isotherms. But I am clueless on how to draw despite Ms. Gwee going through repeatedly. "It's a thinking exercise", remarked Ms. Gwee. Drawing isotherms is really difficult, have to look at a lot of factors and conditions. Like the chinese saying, "天时地历人和" Haha... Ahh ! what to do ! Supposed to bring home and do as homework, but I really don't know how to draw. Shall consult Jun Hui tomorrow.

After geography was double physics. Today's lesson quite heavy and meaningful. Heavy => electromagnetism, woa. chim topic, didn't really get much in, but will read up. Meaningful => Mr. Tan side-tracked a bit, talked about Newton and James Maxwell. Quite interesting.

Haha! Die Man! Math Test 3. GG! At first, first few questions quite ok. Then last few questions nearly stunned me. But never mind, still managed to write some workings before Mr. Png said time's up. But after the test, discuss answer lioa, then realised probability of A1 is SLIM. Never mind, 3% of final score. What's done cannot be undone, no use crying over split milk. Look ahead into the future and do your best. After handing in the paper, Mr. Png allowed us to chit-chat. Then Louis suddenly hit Wei Han very hard on the back. Mr. Png exclaimed, "Woa ! Big-size bully small-size ah?" Then Louis laughed very loudly...HAHAHAHA....

English lesson was just going through passage for SRQ Assignment 2. Nothing much. Just identifying requirements and need to do up template as homework....

IHC lesson. Here comes the 63 pages notes on Northern Ireland. Bed-side reading.. Haha.. Reading on bed is not good for eyesight.. hehe.

At 1400 was Chemistry practical. This time so fun, doing titration again. Yay, then wash appratus, pour solutions. Cool! Then add indicator, titration starts. Then very lucky, just hit on the spot, 20.30ml of NaOH to neutralise some ethadondic acid solution (i think wrong spelling but some chemicals like this). Then need try second time, also very lucky, 20.40ml. Fits the criteria of plus/minus 0.1ml. Yay ! so happy! Just as I was doing, the people in the bench behind me shouted, "Haha ! forget to add indicator!". Turned back and see, and realised that was Eugene... Oh, so sad... "It was so sad that Eugene forgot to add indicator, all the way to re-do titration..." Hoho.. then after finished titration, need do calculations. Then i do wrongly. Then Nicholas Ong niaoed me for doing wrong calculations.... "It was so sad that Wei Pin did the wrong calculations, all the way to re-do calculations..." How time flies, Chemistry practicals are always the most fun times, bell rang, school ends...

Need to go for Cat 11 workshop at SALT Centre. On the way to SALT centre, at carpark, saw Mr. Png again.. Haha.. Mr. Png said, "going SALT centre ah? later got high blood pressure, too much SALT"... ROFL....

Reached home at 1800. Was finishing domestic electricity worksheet assignment questions. Then I don't know how to do english and geography le, so never do. Glad that biology revision test was postponed to thursday. Yay! so can continue slacking. It's good to have periodical rests...

Cyaz
Take Care ! (It's going to be a tough fight as the weeks pass...)

interesting day...

2007-03-26T23:32:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, you might be wondering why I did not blog for the past two days. The reason is very simple, these two days was spent slacking and completing homework. Partially, also due to the fact that i was SICK.

Ok, enough for the boring two days. Today proved to be a much more interesting day, especially during English lessons.

Double period chinese: Madam Wang gave back "decade" old 2006 O Level Higher Chinese Paper 2 for us to continue doing. Everyone was like stunned diao (she indeed can remember that we are supposed to complete this...)

Then she goes:
"你们应该做到长文缩短的部分了吧? 应该能在一节课做完吧?"
Haha.. then after 1 period, still cannot do finish.
Then she said:
"我本来是想要在第二节课跟你们对答案的. 但你们很慢, 拿回家做吧!"
Whee... then finally dismissed for P.E

P.E dam sian... outside Kah Khee Hall meng do pull-up until bell-ring =.=...

Physics lesson continued with domestic electricity. Then must do the domestic electricity worksheet which Jun Hui has already finished 3/4 when class ended after 40 mins... Imba, ownage, killing-spree, GOD-LIKE !
Then Jun Hui kenna niaoed by Mr. Tan to off and on the lights when needed instead of letting Jia Xi do all the time. Then Jun Hui never listen, then Mr. Tan say Jun Hui never do his job... Hehe...

Mr. Png scolded during math lesson. If i am not wrong, this is the 2nd or 3rd time le. Ah ! I dio called up by Mr. Png too. My curve never draw properly. Mr. Png explained that if extrapolated, my curve will become merry-go-round. =P. Omg, nearly dio smacked at the backside... Haha... Oh no ! Then Xing Jin dio scolded the worst => 3 out of 4 questions wrong... Ok, shall not dwell too much on negative events. But Mr. Png very good, never give assignment because tomorrow got Math Test 3 !!

Whee.. last two lessons of the day => Double English. Don't know why today's English lessons seem to be more enjoyable and interesting. Ms Loh gave back comprehension assignment 3. Then Hwa Pheng got highest => 42/50. Ok, shall repeat for the sake: Imba, ownage, killing-spree, GOD-LIKE ! Haha.. then some funny things arised when we were going through answers:

1. Raphael case:
Raphael: "Can i use lack of unprofessional expertise?"
Ms Loh: "Check the meaning for expertise. 5,4,3,2,1 ! Time's up ! Next!" LOL lah... Haha xD.
Then after that, Raphael was giggling away.
Then Ms Loh exclaimed softly, "So much for his gigglings..."

2. Xing Jin case:
Xing Jin was arguing that once things are confiscated, when paid a sum of money, the things can be returned. (Obviously, Xing Jin got the meaning wrong.) so Ms. Loh tried to explain:
Ms Loh (to Jingbo): "What is confiscate in Chinese?"
Jingbo: "没收"
Ms Loh: "啊对!没收!"
Xing Jin: "可是..."
Ms Loh: "Ah ! Dare to speak to me in Chinese! NEXT !" ROFL lah... like that also can.. hehe

I think i only remembered only these two. But the class really had a great laugh during today's English lesson. Time flies when good things are happening and so fast 1330 le, need to rush to Geography talk on climatic change.

At the talk, the speaker (he looks young, but then he professor le... he climbs really fast...) talked about climatic change, global warming, greenhouse effect. But he gave us 10 facts to know about climatic change/global warming. His talk was very interesting, engaging and humourous. He sometimes say some cold jokes. But his voice a bit like Dr. K.K.Seet, Senior Lecturer, NUS cum TheArena judge. But nvm about that. We all had a great time inside, especially during Q&A... He used analogies to answer Lu Yong Quan's question.. so fun... =)

Went home, did not start doing homework until 2000. Then as i am doing my blog, still stuyding math... at R formula now... going to finish, moving to proving soon...

Good luck for tomorrow's math test !

long friday...

2007-03-23T23:15:00.000+08:00

Today's day started off up Double Chinese. No one read Ya Zhou Zhou Kan despite Madam Wang's repeated reminders to read so that can have discussion, so that can have OP, so that can have good marks, so that can have... the list just goes on. Looks like she got a contingency plan=> do Higher Chinese O level 5 year series. Omg, I looked at the close passage, all so chim words, the cheng yus i don't even know the meaning so tikam lor. Bohoo, quite satisfied with my grade after going through answers.

Math was again interesting. Today learnt about solving problem sums involving minimum and maximum values. Mr. Png came in to class and first question, "The sum of two numbers is 82. Find the maximum value of the product of these two numbers." Woa, i hear liao i stunned diao. How to do? The problem with me is that i don't know how to apply. Somtimes, doing differentiation with x,y, etc is ok for me. When it comes to real-life problem sums/cases, i cannot do as I have problems formulating the equations to differentiate.

Haha, then Mr. Png told us an interesting story (meant to niao jing xiang and ivan or perhaps make the lesson livelier) but actually was modified from the example in the A Math textbook. Here goes:
One day, Jing Xiang and his girlfriend and Ivan were at the beach. Jing Xiang decided to row a boat, abandoning his girlfriend. Then Ivan took the chance to get close with Jing Xiang's girlfriend. Jing Xiang heard his girlfriend calling for help. Find the distance away from the starting point that Jing Xiang needs to come on shore to rescue her girlfriend in the shortest possible time, taking into the fact that he still has to cycle 400-x m. (Rowing: 40m/min ; cycling 50m/min). Haha! Then must use differentiation le. Then Mr. Png exclaimed, "The morale of the story, be good in Math, so that you can rescue your girlfriend. If you don't know how to do differentiation, haha die man!" Lol...

Recess came. It was one of the rare times that I went down to canteen to eat during recess times. Normally, i will eat home-brought food. Went down, ordered Niang Dou Fu to eat. Then surprisingly, Louis came after me but he finished the food faster.... Omg....Then when going back to class, lol, angered Louis then he came stampping on his feet to chase me. Omg, I was shouting for help, looking for a hunter to help me subdue him, but to no avail.

Ms Gwee is on course so she never come in. But, it was Mr. Er who came me. Er Lao Shi... Then Jun Hui heard as He Lao Shi, no wonder he so excited. Then Geography period was doing the worksheet Ms Gwee instructed. Haha, then can copy wholesale from MC liao. Then Mr. Er say, "why all your diagrams all the same? can use some creativity and draw or not?" Sianz...

Biology lesson was next. But Ms Sandra Tan went for waterpolo competiton. Yay! Then Mr. Png relieved us. So happy, continued with problem sums involving min. and max. points. Then gave homework =( Sad... More homework during weekend liao...

Woa, IHC, continued with details of the Northern Ireland conflict. Nothing much though, not really concentrating and listening. Perhaps, still holiday mood. Never mind, will get myself perked up in the coming days.

Lol, today Mr. Vincent Tan came in and talked to us about school awards: OSA and ARE. Yay, then left 15 mins, went through chemistry worksheet. Nothing much, just went through MCQ only... Then bell rang...

Went for Bugle band practice. Keep on practising NDP sequence. Then left one last hour, footdrill practice. But Sec 4s went to learn how to through the maize.. So fun... "Check up, two, three, drop, left, right, left...".. Haha, time flies, 1 hour past. Time to count mistakes for Sec 2s and Sec 3s. In the end, Pei Yit pumped them 53. So we followed suit. Yay, after pumping, went back home le....

At home, still slacking. Watching TV all the way... But, I am SICK...

one week gone

2007-03-22T23:11:00.000+08:00

Sorry guys for not posting the past few days, have been really spammed by homework.

On tuesday:
First period was IHE. Quite fun. Went out to do fieldwork. Then the datalogger temperature section seemed to have screwed up but in actual fact, we sat to the wrong range and the temperature readings were screwed up. Fortunately, still got thermometer. Physics practical was so fun, playing with a short circuit. I am not sure what Louis's bench did. They seemed to have connected like 10 batteries together and wanted to melt the fuse wire. But i think they didn't. Don't know what would happened... haha...

Double math. Learnt about minimum and maximum pt. Hwa Pheng taught us how to draw graphs... So pro... Well, he is one what... Why i using tautology? Was half-listening and half not listening as I was very tired. But eventually, i think i still know how to find min. and max. pts using differentiation.

English proved to be a much better lesson. Continued with book circle. Yay, continue slacking as the assessor. But after finish, must write assessor's REPORT leh.. you know what is REPORT or not? not comments. Haha... Lol...

Then came IHC. Woa, learning about internal conflict in Ireland. Err... to be frank, i lost 70% concentration. But got readings, hope can pick up from there. Then got IHC homework!

Chemistry practical was dam interesting. Did on electroplating and electrolysis of solutions. While putting in the nickel strip to be elctroplated, i forgot who (nicholas or raphael) dropped the nickel strip into the U-tube (not viewing video the youtube) and had great difficulty taking out due to the U-shape. Lol... then came the rescue => pour the CuSO4 solution out and take out the strip! Haha. Then finally experiment can continue. Need to wait for 30 mins... Then got another part of practical. Electrolysis solutions liao then slack. Lol, mixed all the solutions together and electrolysed. Nothing strange happen.. So weird. Then Hwa Pheng's group playful, got put the aligator clips on their shirt, like they going to be electrocuted like that... haiz.. playful bunch of people. Then Mr. Vincent Tan went through answer very fast, we were all scribbling on our practicals so as not to miss a word.. Haha.. I managed to take in and write down. Yay! Am i an audio person? Might not...

Reached home. Got started for work. Did a few bookworm articles. Cause Ms. Loh said need 14. Then up till end holidays only completed 8... At the same time, also got started on Biology ACE- hospital triage. Eugene should get 3 ACE or else CSM of St. John can give someone else le.

On wednesday: Today is Founder's day. Receiving award so must sit in front of the Cheng Yi Auditorium at College Section. All the VIP speeches' all dam awe-inspiring. Of which, one exclaimed that no one can beat his records spent in the library. Perhaps, Lee Jun Hui could. I think that VIP's name was Mr. Terrence Wong, looked quite young... but CEO of a company le. Great future....Then went up received prize... more people received prize. 180++ for OSA and ARE. The Dr. Lim give until dam "pek cek", I sympathise with him. After ceremony, nothing much liao...

Today: Chinese first period! Winner liao! This time i almost lost total focus. Madam Wang was talking about the different types of societies in China. Did not had much interest in so was basically stoning. English go computer lab and slack. Lol.. today last one Jun Lin presenting his connector role. Assembly got talk on JC curriculum and LEAPS. Sianz, JC so many requirements/criterias to fulfil. Will start to plan now...

Double Math! Mr. Png's lesson! Today learnt how to use higher derivatives to find max. and min. pt. Quite a useful method but got limitations. Mr. Png asked Goh BrotherS (emphaise on 'S' got plural) if they know the answer to why positive for d^2y/dx^2 means min pt and vice versa. Jun Hui and Hwa Pheng don't know (maybe they faking) Then Mr. Png said, "PRC should know!!"... Haha, Xing Jin then came up to explain...

When IHC came, the whole class knew it was completely GG-fied => all never do homework cause yesterday doing bookworm, math, etc. Then Mrs Giam very angry and never teach a part of Ireland history. Coupled by the fact, 5 people not in class, she was extremely angry. Time taken: 23 mins (Xing Jin last to came back), stood outside class... IHC lesson become free period and no one knew what to do but no choice just to read the readings...

Next was Biology lesson. then got pop quiz.. GG, completely forgotten all those facts about homeostasis. Then first question, "Explain why a thirsty person should not drink sea water to quench his thirst?" Was stoning quite long, thinking to write about sodium ions regulation or water regulation. Then realised must linked both. Woa, then second question, "Explain why the athelete face appear red after a run?". haha! die man! i am clueless on this question so crapped out an explanation. Last question, "Why must a person take off his clothes when he falls into an icy lake during winter?" I also don't know how to do.... Oh no, going to fail this pop quiz... After pop quiz, started new topic => Structure of eye. Quite interesting. People were asking about all those fun and interesting stuffs. The sclerotic coat is quite tough as mentioned. Louis should try exerting his thousand newtons of force on it... Ops, sorry, no offence...

Reached home then found was typing CME interview form. But closed the file half-way and went on to slack. After dinner, completed assessor's report... And here I am now, blogging.. Nothing much liao....

Have a good day tomorrow.

school starts

2007-03-19T20:07:00.000+08:00

Today no flag raising so stayed in clasroom. Then everyone was menging their english files. Lol... I started reading today's Straits Times. Today's issue was quite interesting as it talked about "mugging" in school. But i never read. Don't know why => Ask my brain. Read "Life", about the life of Bryan Wong. Quite a sad and heart-wrenching story about him. But now he's so successful, good for him. xD.

0800 came, DOUBLE CHINESE => SIANZ DIAO. Madam Wang never gave back last term's 2 letter writing assignment. Ahh ! When can i get it back? Ok, this term need meng do Chinese assignments liao. Then Madam Wang gave us our first composition assignment for term 2 => "Bao zhang bao dao". Choose to write the question on MOE introducing sex education materials for lower secondary cause got resources/materials on that topic. As usual, she exclaimed that our class was chit-chatty, noisy and slow in writing and cannot finish on time. So next day before 0800, drop in her pigeon hole lor...

PE lesson ran 2.4km. Nobody timed so cannot know how long i took. But should have met the passing time cause i was just behind Kai Qing. And Kai Qing so fit => should pass.

Physics lesson was next, continued on Domestic Electricity. Lol, then Mr. Tan talked about one story in NS => so interesting => you meet different types of people in NS => healthy interaction => promotes understanding of different groups of people => lesser chance of internal conflict => IHC =P.

Yay! Math lesson by Mr. Png is always the most interesting lesson of all. Mr. Png wrote:

19/4 (Thur) => Then we thought test 3 one month later lol. But, actually that was the test date for test FOUR. Test 3 is on 27/3 lor. Mr. Png gave out Exercise 13D, 13E, 13F. Then saw two of the assignments got some remarks:

Not more than 2 columns ! Then next page:
NOT MORE THAN 4 COLUMNS! ROFL...

Ok, then Mr. Png did some revision on further trigo with us. Then forgot who asked this proving question:

sin^4 A + cos^4 A is identical to 3/4 + 1/4 cos 4A
Actually, most of us forgot how to do (except for some, you know who you are...). Then Mr. Png exclaimed,

"Woa! don't know how to do ! Holiday never revise? I set this question in Test 3 how? HAHA! DIE MAN !"

Then everyone in class was like "Lol-ling". Finally, Jun Hui to the rescue => Proved the identity...

I thought term 2 will be a better one but it proved otherwise. English lesson was smooth at first until we went to Ortus room to do book circle. Then Ms. Loh realised less than 1/2 the class completed book circle and she felt that we had lied/misled her as this was wasting time. Contingency plan => Go through feedback/corrections. Hah ! 1/3 of class never brought this with them. Then... we got scolded... It was a solemn and sad moment. Ms. Loh mentioned that 4I was not united, so separated. "You all must move together as one class, as 36 of you all..." Sad story... Hope we can improve... Wish for a better tomorrow.

After lesson ended, went to Founder's Day second rehearsal. Ok, same thing... nothing much.

Went home, slacked a while. After posting this blog, must do Roots and Shoots powerpoint for tomorrow's Ms Kelly Kok's visit to Hwa Chong and must also do Chinese composition. [Hospital triage too, if possible...]

Cyaz,

last day of march holidays

2007-03-18T12:00:00.000+08:00

Sorry for not blogging for the past two days (too tired already)

On friday:
In the early morning, cleared two article reviews for thursday's components and completed composition planning template. Then read the newspaper, then realised no articles to be reviewed. Since i already have 8 reviews (minimum => 7 ; recommended => 14), i decided not to review any more articles, cause "review lai review qu" also same things =>Environmental issues, political issues, social issues. After reviewing, went to KFC for lunch at Hougang Mall. Quite early leh, 10.50a.m eat lunch (no choice, later got startup). Then while eating, saw Marcus and Joel but they never see me...

After lunch, went back home prepare for startup later in the afternoon and evening...

Reached NUS Business School and eat dinner. Eugene say got his friend from RI also taking part. Then realised he dam Ah Beng... Sad, how to be "qi ye jia" so unprofessional. So disappointing, they delayed the event by about 35-45 mins. Then we were crapping outside. Yes, so crap... When we entered auditorium, briefing and event start. Blah blah blah... value proposition, elevator pitch. Elson represented our team in the elevator pitch competition. The results quite good but did not enter top 5 for final elevator pitch. Instead, yi kai's group got in => Healus.

After event quite tired le... about 2130 then ended. Eugene daoed me go back with his group (waste my time waiting for him). In the end, left Elson and me take internal shuttle out, then transfer 95 to Bouna Vista MRT. At MRT, we went separate ways...

Reached home dam tired le, so never blog on friday... then fell asleep...

On Saturday:
Left home at 6.30a.m to reach school to take bus to Old Diary Farm road to clean up the place there. At 8.30a.m, reached Old Diary Farm => old, dirty and smelly. But never mind, that's what I am there for => to clean up to make the place look young, clean and fragrant (fragrant seemed impossible...) Started work between 9.30a.m to 10.00a.m (forgot exact time). We were supposed to clear man-made rubbish => flower pots, pipes, rubber, plastics, etc. Got a lot of mosquitoe bites lah, but killed two mosquitoes in the end. :P Got water-break, then everyone slacking le (cause almost cleared up all le). Then the lady from NEA talked some history and purpose about clearing up that place. (that place got bats too, how old...) Then she said, "Now you are free to go..." Then we thought we are dismissed. But acutally not, she means continue clearing...

But also nothing much to do for our section. So just slacking and playing there. Throwing stones. Then at 11.40a.m, finally debrief liao. CAN GO LIAO ! Sad, but later at 2.30p.m still got talk on CV writing and interview techniques.

Then we go KAP to eat. Then after finished eating, realised still got about 1 1/2 hours to the talk. Decided to go back school and slack. After that nothing much le, the talk quite interesting (by old scouts, now 35 years old...). After that, quite late, went home. Got headache don't know why. Sat around in my house stoning. Cannot concentrate to do homework cause headache. Watching TV seemed effective. Then watched until 11.30p.m... Lol.. then really cannot take it le, so go sleep... zzzZzzZ

Sunday:

the thursday of march holidays

2007-03-15T21:33:00.000+08:00

Reached school today at 8.30a.m and went to Cheng Yi Auditorium for founder's day rehearsal. Then saw Wei Leong, Rui Yi and another guy as MCs for founder's day. I saw no one familar there (except for MCs). Then suddenly saw, Jun Lin, Jian Rui and Yoon Siang walking in. Yoon Siang didn't see me (he gooded) then jun lin walked to me. Then realised he is representing Track & Field for Best CCA award.

While waiting (don't know why, teachers sorting some stuff), the MCs started speaking. Wei Leong (Chinese), Rui Yi (90.5). Blah blah blah... As they read, realised some imba people like Lu Yong Quan => 4 Best Subjects + Top in Sec 3 (2006). Wa liew, dam imba. Yay ! then congrats to Jingbo get scholarship worth 1 year of school fees (no wonder last time Mr Ivan Oh go find him).. *claps* *cheer*. As the MCs read the list of award recipients, just realised got a lot of awards to be given. At least got 100 plus student award recipients will be there. Got awards like: Best subjects, top 3 in each level, best CCA, OSA & ARE, some scholarships and excellence awards, model student of each level and JC top subjects and top in J1.

Finally, at 9.30a.m, teachers finally start talking to us. Then realised got a lot of teachers involved. Taught me one got Mr. Vincent Tan and Madam Ho Joon Wei. After re-arranging our seats, actual rehearsal then start... (=.=). Mrs Lee went through basic procedures for receiving prize:

Stand at stairs
Bow
Say, "good morning sir" (extending hands at the same time) (SMILE)
Receive award with both hands (SMILE)
Say, "thank you sir" (SMILE)
Walk a bit more, bow to audience (SMILE)
Cannot cut through MC's podium, walk behind MC
Walk about 150m back to seat

then basically went through the above procedures. Then here and there got some screw-ups...

Then altogether do 3 rehearsals lor... But most of the time is sit there stoning, only about 10 mins stand up.. the rest of the time during 3 hours is sit down lor... Quite cool right?

Finally, rehearsal ended at 1130. Went to golden rooster with jun lin to eat lunch. Then found out that time peak hour. Auntie very busy. Found a seat and we all ordered lemon chicken (mix) and iced milo. Nothing much, except noticed that some St. Margrets girls ordered takeaway then sit down at stairs eating. What do you think about this?

Back home at 1300. Slacked all the day, watched Legends of Nezha at 1430 on Channel 8. Then continued working on some misc. stuff for Doors to Diplomacy. Then worked on yesterday's 2 ARTICLE REVIEWS (yesterday too tired to complete le).

Then Sherwin came to ask me about differentiation. I xia dao ! Hope i answered his questions correctly. Cause i not really good at math, especially differentiation got so many things to learn.

After dinner, was online. Adrian talked to me. He keeps on niaoing me. I dam irritated. But i tried to defend myself. Never mind... Sad story... Oil is expensive, vegetable oil is cheap, human oil is free...

K, enough rambling for today.

school for third day of march holidays

2007-03-15T09:35:00.000+08:00

Was in school at 9.12a.m (was late for 12 mins, cause depart late from home cause i slacking at home, then found yi kai, jia xi and mrs giam already there le. :P) for Doors to Diplomacy meeting. Mrs. Giam was editing our project narrative which was 5 pages long. Then along the way, we were sort of talking misc. stuffs to liven up the mood. Oh yah, then mrs.giam also provided high fibre food for us. Yipee! so nice...

Then at 10.15a.m, i left for poolside for start-up meeting. Ok, the details of start-up meeting are STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL so shall not elaborate.

After start-up meeting, went back to doors to diplomacy meeting. But realised that meeting ended and mrs. giam was editing kevin's group's project. Then yi kai briefed me on what to do.

Finally, after Yi Kai briefed me, Kevin, Yi Kai and me went to poolside for lunch. Yi Kai and me ordered chicken cullet with chips. Then Kevin ordered outside food.

Then Kevin say, "I purposely tell the auntie to give me more rice but I cannot finish." Lol...

Then Kevin was eating like he wanted to puke liao. But chicken cullet with chips also quite filling because also ate high fibre food in the morning. Then at 1305, have to leave for salt centre to collect hospital triage ACE from Jun Hui. Then go library photocopy liao, return to SALT centre to give back to Jun Hui. Whoosh, finally, can home sweet home liao...

On the bus, i thought my hair was a bit long so decided to go for a haircut. So stopped a few bus stops before my usual alighting bus stop to walk to the shop. Luckily, not a lot of people inside. Waited 15 mins then my turn le. After haircut, reached home at about 1600. Then my mother mentioned to me that she saw that Popular is taking up pre-orders for Harry Potter's last book. Woa, so shiok ! I gonna place pre-order liao. Must pay deposit $10. Yes ! Final book ! I love it...

Then started thinking of what needs to be completed by today:

Edit Doors to diplomacy narrative
Find pictures and quotes to do flash introduction
Construct 15 MCQ questions for quiz
OPERATION BOOKWORM (2 ARTICLE REVIEWS)

Then, i not sure want to do other homework or not. (By the way, my Tuesday with Morrie haven't read finish).

Ok, must stop liao. After dinner must do all those above stuffs le.

second day !

2007-03-14T14:27:00.000+08:00

Today wake up a bit later at about 9.45a.m.

I was thinking of clearing most of the homework today but eventually did not manage to do so. Haiz, dam depressed and demoralising to see the long list of homework put up by Kah Loke, Jun Hui, Raphael, Nicholas. The list just goes on... But Hwa Pheng's summary skill dam pro, "a long list of work waiting to be done" - one phrase to summarise all the work ! No wonder his english so pro ! In the end, nothing was accomplished as I was chatting misc. stuffs with my other friends. (you know who you are...)

After lunch, i started on OPERATION BOOKWORM. But today's Straits Times like got nothing much to review on. But eventually, I still managed to choose 2: One on indonesia's environment and another one on the life-long learning programme for the elderly. But i enjoyed doing today's reviews, caused i learnt 8 new words ! not like yesterday, i only learnt 1 word... Here are the 8 friends that i just got to know:

1. Mantra – a commonly repeated word or phrase
2. Helming – leading
3. Ubiquitous – existing or being everywhere at the same time
4. Pervasive – spread throughout
5. Ingrained – firmly fixed ; deeply rooted
6. Collusion – a secret agreement for treacherous purposes
7. Nepotism – favoritism shown on the basis of family relationships
8. Battered – damaged by blows

Maybe you all think that these words are already friends to you all, but my inter-personal relationship not so powderful mah so just got to know them only. But i trying to add put in more effort by adding more powder so my inter-personal relationship can be more powderful.

Again, at 1730, TV time ! - Double Happiness. Today eat dinner earlier at 1830, instead of 1900 plus. After dinner, like nothing to do so watch TV all the way till 2100. Watched Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu:. Today like 5th last episode le. Quite nice lah. The Mei Tian teacher/doctor is gay lah. A male having such long hair... Then at 2000, channel 8 got one new show, A Game of Numbers (not sure whether english title is correct, chinese title is "Su Zhan Su Jue" ). I am sure Hwa Pheng likes that show because must answer math questions ! Then the other parts of the game are just pure luck - guessing the correct number, guessing high or low... The show quite nice so I giving today's Arena a skip cause I already know the results.

After watching TV for so long, so shiok. Then went online. Then as usual, nicholas ong talked to me. then talk talk talk...

Whee, so late le ! Must go sleep. Tomorrow still need go school:

9a.m - Doors to diplomacy meeting with Mrs. Giam
10a.m - Startup Meeting with seniors

Oh ! so packed...

first day of march holidays

2007-03-13T12:34:00.000+08:00

Today wake up at 8.30a.m (sianz, so early). After breakfast, started doing career awareness part for personal development. Last time 4 March after going Suntec City supposed to do already, but drag till now. I must write on what I have learnt for the exhibition on how to choose a career. Then do do do till sianz liao, then stone in front of laptop...

I had lunch at home, mum prepared food for me. Yay ! so nice, got chicken, fish, pork and everything nice ! (Not so many stuff lah ! i am on diet !).

After lunch, I decided to do Euler's essay because can get ACE points ! This essay must write about the life and contributions of the great Mathematician, Leonhard Euler (hope didn't spell wrongly). Then i went to google "Leonhard Euler", first hit - Wikipedia ! Then Wikipedia spammed me, but i very patient, i read the whole thing and tried to summarise/simplify/analyse/digest (whatever words you can think of...) and then write the essay ! The contributions part a bit the difficult to understand lah, cause all those chim stuffs (only hwa pheng can understand xD ). I do until about like 1600 then went out to buy bubble tea. Must let my eyes rest and relax, enjoy the breeze...

After coming back, i watched double happiness (Xi Lin Men), repeated broadcast. Quite nice. After dinner, i menged OPERATION BOOKWORM. I read the newspaper and finally found two articles to write reviews on. Did this until 2200 (but while doing, got chat with people online, cause bored).

Yay ! Then 2200 come le, watch Angels of Mission 3D (Wu Ming Tian Shi 3D - last episode). But quite boring lah, except for first 5 mins is continue from last friday's episode. Then later all about love. Love triangle some more. Boring, sianz, don't want talk about it.
After the show, i started yawning so decided to go to bed to recharge.

That's all....
