The Story


Friday, August 31

They say time flies when you are having fun. Why is it that I am not having fun but time flies anyway? Okay whatever. My study break is over already. And although I can say I did a bit of revision throughout the week, I think I could have done better. One, I shouldnt have wasted tuesday at home. Two, too much wasting of time. Fortunately, theres is still the september so called holidays next week. So abit more of study time. Hope it all works out.


Okay I finally finished part two of my operation yesterday. So yippee, no more anesthesic jabs and cutting on my face. I think its a serious waste of time actually but yeah at last its done. The waiting time was horrendous lah. I practically was wasting hours of time away. The actual cutting took maybe a minute? The wonders of laser. All I remember now is the burnt smell, and to put antibiotic cream two times a day.


Anyway, I think the emcees for some event at white sands yesterday are super random, bored, and entertaining. Making fun out of songs, and stuff like that. And me, fred, LY and Yonghuang are from NTUC fairprice secondary school. Sure thing man. Just for standing near by and supporting Singapores very own. But it was funny. = ="


Today was teachers day celebration. The inside info was true. A certain teacher didnt turn up as expected. So the so called party was a flop. The concert was quite okay. At least it wasnt the usual dance, band, CO, choir, guitar, wushu, taekwando and yada yada performances. Luke Laus song was pretty amusing. He is quite free apparently. Either playing cards with students or coming up with songs like this. Being a teacher doesnt seem so bad actually. =X


Watched Ratatouille (pronounced rat-a-2-e) finally. Sure took its time to hit the screens. I think its quite nice lah. Rats made cute. Worth watching. Except I am super tired today. Not use to waking early. ZzZ.


Pictures de randome.







So I am sticking to my once a week blogging pattern. So just in advance anyway.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU YVONNE LOW !!!


Hope you enjoyed the celebration for you on Monday although it was just dinner lah. Hey there was baked brownie and stuff lor. Hahas. Have a wonderful wonderful day tomorrow! =)


Lala thats all folks!

The last week of term 3 for the J2s has come and gone. Next week will be study break followed by September holidays. 2 nice solid weeks of revision. I hope I will get the best out of it. Thankfully the maths department finally developed revision packages, so perhaps my revision for maths will be more fruitful. Hope to finish the chemistry and maths revision package by week 1. Then again, where is the physics revision? Zz. Better find something before I neglect it. And then I got a feeling I will neglect econs again. Will try not to. I hope.


Quite an eventful week has gone by actually. First up was the class photoshoot. Our theme this year was balloons, somehow. =x I think it may brighten up the picture abit better then last year lah though. But these years poses were not original at all. It all seemed like just groups of people crowding around benches. Zz. Wonder how it goes. Oh well, will find out soon.





I donated blood for the first time yesterday. Wasn bad at all. It was a relatively simple process actually. Except the anasthesia jab didnt go very smooth for me I think. But at least there was no giddiness of any sort. I was kind of bored actually. =x And the squeeze toy wasnt the cute blood drop guy, it was a bag of blood. =( But yeah, wouldnt mind going again I guess.


Anyway, this week just got me very tired somehow. Got to rest up and prepare for the marathon which begins next week. Okay lets put it on Sunday. For all the other people fighting this prelim and A level shit, lets fight hard together alright?

Super hectic week. Full of tests and mock examinations. Monday Chemistry transition and electrochemistry test. Tuesday organic time trial and physics mcq mock exam. Wednesday econs test. Friday chemistry mock paper 3. Today chemistry mock paper 1 and 2. Super tiring. I was totally thrashed on thursday night. Yeah the pace is picking up, and so must I. But things are better I guess.


Went to see Gwen Stefani concert on Tuesday night. Okay as usual I am a suagu. I never attended a concert before. So I finally got my chance since there were free tickets. And I realised I never been to Indoor Stadium to watch anything either. The last time I was there was during NDP rehearsals back in secondary one. Was quite good lah. Alot of catchy songs, some familiar too.


Pictures. =)








Pretty eventful week.


On a totally unrelated note, unrelated to me as well, just some thoughts, love cannot be compared and should not be. Every love that two people share is different and special. Every interaction should be magical, too magical to understand, too beautiful. When one begins to find that he or she is comparing his or her love to that of others, something is wrong. It has turned materialistic, without the spark anymore. Time to reignite yeah?


******************************************************


Have you ever had the feeling that something is amiss? Something has gone badly wrong but you are not sure what. It is like the feeling you have before the plunge at the top of the rollercoasters climb. A sudden feeling of emptiness, loss of support, not knowing what comes next. I wonder if there is a break in the track or it is just part of the ride. What a timing. Now I am unsure.


I am thinking too much probably. But nobody likes building sandcastles in the sky. If I already am laying the foundations, I would rather stop. Sigh. I guess I need to be stronger.


******************************************************


Next week will be great. Class photo and stuff. And its the last week of school. Yeahness.

Memories from National day.











This 3 months to go is not going to be easy. But I will fight on.


Cant wait for it to be over though. =x Kind of early to think such thoughts yeah?

Lalala.. =)

National day is over. Happy birthday Singapore. Had a bit of fun too. And now its back to the solemm school days after this again. Suddenly, I feel scared all over again. It seems too easy to fail the A levels actually. Far too easy to crap my future. Too easy.


I know how grave this all is, but I just dont really know how to rectify the situation either. Lets see, my maths is still quite terrible, very actually. My chemistry is more or less back on track. My physics is okay. Economics, I dont know really. Its quite a scary situation.


I find that I am wasting time. I havent really gotten into revision. School just doesnt allow me to do so. Its just overloading me. I can only revise on stuff that is revised in school. I am worried. What about the rest? The teachers are so afraid they dont have the time to finish their revision lectures. Then what about the rest? Are the revision lectures really enough to save my life? I highly doubt so.


What can I do I keep asking myself? I am trying to finish up all the revision stuff that is thrown at me. Its pretty a dilemma actually. If I try to revise myself, I may not do what is given to me. If I do what the teachers give, the teachers might think I am working hard but is it really a better route?


I guess I need to be more serious about this. I need to push myself really hard. Though I cant really see myself that way. Doing the Physics TYS twice. Studying during every break. Revising three times a day. Its just crazy, I dont see myself that way. Is it really worth it? I dont know.


I guess all I can do is work hard and see what happens. Be positive. And the best may come. No point brooding over it.

The week or so has been full of up and downs. Since I dont remember details anymore, I will just do a list of ups and downs throughout the week, just for a refreshing change. Ready? Here we go!


Down: I was informed that my repair bill for my phone would be $197.25.

Up: My watch is ready for collection.

Up: I got to try out 8/9 pin tap for the first time.

Down: The above was not as easy as I expected. Did not do that well.

Up: I was given the option to forfeit my warranty for a free repair of my phone, which I accepted.

Up: I got 90% for my chemistry retest on inorganic chemistry.

Up: I passed my chemistry test on chemical/ionic equilibrium and chemical bonding.

Down: I failed my maths test on hypothesis and correlation due to some stupidness.

Up: I collected my phone back, and nothing was deleted.

Down: I did not manage to collect my watch as I was too late.


And so I realise my week has more ups than downs. So I guess I should be happy. Then again, I am wearing out, getting tired, getting demotivated. Rawr. I hope the national day holidays will get me going again.


=========================================


Yesterday was kayaking day. Met the people at Eunos MRT station. I guess I forgot that they are always late somehow. I reached 10 minutes early. Mistake eh? Never mind. Hahas. I forgive them.


Went for prata breakfast. Wasnt that nice lah but eating prata as breakfast always seems nice somehow. I guess perfect competition at that food centre wasnt exactly working. Or we just chose the wrong stall. Lol.


Anyway, after that we took a pretty long bus ride on 93 to MacRitchie. We reached there early. Some of us thought it began at one but it was two actually. So we sat round and stoned. I think got one j1 guy quite poor thing. He also came for the kayaking then he decided to stick around with us not knowing my class antics. We can stand around an area forever and forever okay?


After a while, it was finally time. I think the older instructor was quite nice and friendly, the other one was wearing sunglasses most of the time so I couldnt really tell. We would be just attending an orientation course, so no capsize drill or anything. The people there were my class people, some s203 guys, 2 girls from I dont know where and that j1 guy. So we were taught some basics, like stuff about the boat, the Personal Floation Device and how to row and then we could finally get into the water.


I and Leayee started off in a double kayak, and the girls in 2 doubles, while the rest of the class guys were in singles. Starting off was really hard. Steering was really difficult. Confusion set in but we did not hit outselves in confusion. Just splash water at most.


I guess practice makes perfect. We got better soon. Especially after the instructor taught how to steer. So from being the going to crash into land kind, we became quite fast. Hahas. Got quite a coordination going.


Halfway through had a funny exercise. Had to stand on the boats. All of us. But no one fell in the water lah. Anyway, I exchanged boats with Kenneth later, so I got to try the single kayak as well. Easier to steer definitely, but also more tiring.


We switched back later. Then there was this game to end off. Sort of like captain ball on boats. Had to pass the ball to one of the instructors. Single kayaks vs double kayaks. Really test skills sia. Like how to steer faster and speed. I think it would be much easier in single kayak definitely, cause they scored 2 against nil. The results speaks.


Hahas. I guess it was my bad, but I and LY capsized like twice, while most people remained dry throughout. Was too kancheong in getting the ball, and before you knew it, in the water. zz. Abit malu ah since like no one else was hitting water. The first time was like dont know what to do, the second time began to look familiar. Hahas. And the soles of my shoes juz fell off, like the whole foam part. Old shoes =Z


But well Bang fell overboard too, without the boat capsizing. Quite funny ah. I think she was trying to reach for somebodys paddle to form some formation around the instructor and then it happened. And my paddle changed colour in the process. Dont really know what happened but I might have had a hand in it too. =x Yvonne was damm lucky got many people holding on to the boat, so she didnt follow. Anyway, sorry to LY for my kancheong spider ways. But hey at least we got to try capsizing right? =S


Summary, water sports are super fun. Always very memorable and makes you want to try again. Just like dragonboating. But very tiring too.


So tired that could really sleep on the bus back.


Went to Bedok 85 to eat dinner. I passed by this place countless times but never ate here before. Super crowded as usual. Luckily we got a place. Quite funny, we were all wearing callisto OGL tee and then there was this guy wearing the same jersey. His friends all laughed at him.


The food was really good. The stingray and oyster omelette especially. Super full. And we still bought ice cream after that. Crazy. XD


Anyway, it was a really super duper fun day. How soon can we have another day like this. I think you guys are a really fantastic bunch. =)


Today, back pain, shoulders pain. Hahas. Tired. And lots of homework. Oh well. At least we are in this together. Or am I the only one aching? =s
