Hm. term 3 is gonna be a busy term. I know it cuz I've experienced it 2 times b4.
In sec 1, term 3 was the best. I performed well for all the CCTs, topping the class in 3 of them.
But in sec 2, term 3 was quite bad. I did badly for most of my assignments and projects, esp. my geog ones. Well, looking on the brighter side, I did well for my math and it was term 3 which led me to top in math for sec 2 SE. I thot that was not bad, but I think I need to achieve a balance and make this balance as high as possible.
Phy will be decided in week 1. So have to study during june hols, probably on last week.
Bio will be decided in the next CCT. on DNA stuff. Got to mug like xiao again.
Chem will be decided in mole quiz an CCT in week 8. Got to do well for those to increase my 4.0 chances.
Math - think a few more TAs, and 2 more CCTs. have to do well for all of them. I plan to pull up my results to around 75. I'm at 67 currently so I guess 75 is possible. Just have to work a bit harder.
Chi. not sure whether there are anymore CCTs. sigh. My zong he tian kong and li jie wen da still suck. ahhh.. I'm performing very badly for both. Only my compositions are pulling me up a bit. So a CCT may help. But if so, I have to mug more again.
eng is Zzzz... aim for mid 3.6 again. haha. so i guess i'm doing ok. Social advocacy was good i think and so it's ERP b4 presentation and personal reflection. Think can do well for these bah. High 3.6 may be possible... =)
SS and hist. lol. dunno what's coming up.
k got to sleep liao.
bye!

lol
i just realised i have already posted the 200th post unknowingly.
this is no. 201.
haha. not bad not bad.
sigh. IBN research has been damn fun. it's been inspiring and i've learnt loads. The problem is I think we have been a huge burden to the team. We are sortta hindering their progress. From Friday, I'll try to do more, volunteer more so that maybe I can stop that. Cuz im not feeling too good about this. haha. I mean, we joint IBN to help out the team, not to hinder their progress and sit there and do nothing. So, from Friday on, we've got to work hard.
I've already done up the summary of what to do in the experiment. A few more things to ask (ask b4 liao, but forgot) and I think we'll be ready to do it by ourselves. Maybe friday can ask him to see us do, then from next mon on, do ourselves. We've got to speed up our progress.
haix. just hope i didn't lian2 lei4 them. k den. tmr is chionging homework time. Du shu bao gao by this week. and probably si han also.
sighs... I'm going to fail my piano.
nvm. IBN first now, and homework.
remember, card.

Zzz
what should I do?
I'm at a loss of what to do. I really can't make up my mind...
Zzzzzz...
It's either I get into trouble with the school, or I get into trouble with someone else.
ahhh... what should I do????
Zzzz...
My mentor is a nice guy. I think I'm taking advantage of this fact and I shouldn't be. I need to apologize to him some day.
sigh. what to do what to do what to do??

I'm forgetful. Sometimes I just want to be as unforgetful and as efficient as Mr. Kwa. haha. but well, that takes skill and time doesn't it? haha. so...
Concert just now wasn't that nice. Think could have been better. but given their short practice time, I guess it was quite ok...
well, i've got to go sleep. i cant take it anymore. yesterday sleep at 2, tml got performance. Gd thing we got TBL. haha.

RICO
this is my 197th post. hooray. about to reach the historic 200.
well, i wont talk abou my bloggin experience yet. maybe i'll do it on the 200th post.
There are more serious things to focus on today.
RICO needs better organization. A cruel yet true fact. It needs a real revamp. We must relook on the ways we organize stuff. how we inform people of prac, how we plan for concerts, how we get people to do stuff etc. This just cannot do.
Congrats to Wen Qiang today. He did a great job except for the first part.
Well, I have never much experience about leading a section and i guess today was my first try. Not really leading section. Leading others in another section to do stuff for our section, which to some extent is harder. or maybe easier. i wouldn't noe.
But RICO needs someone who is more assertive yet still passionate about CO. And the person I feel will do the job is Jeremy. He's a great leader in the sense that he speaks up unlike me. I only work well with people when we are at the same level, not at a higher level.
One may argue that leaders do not necessarily at a higher level than his followers. But I don't agree. Or maybe at least it doesn't work in this case. Or at least for the chairman position. Maybe not for the vice-chair position.
As I was saying, Jeremy is a much more assertive leader, and he makes sure that things go in accordance to how he wants it to be. In this sense, I think it is these people who will bring about most help to CO. Especially in a not so commited one.
As the battle for the chairman position begins again, here are some contending candidates (at least I think so):
1. Jeremy
2. Ren Yan
3. Yee Siang
4. Samuel
5. Ben Aw
6. Gilbert
7. Vincent
8. Jun Sean
9. Chun Yin
It's a pretty long list and a pretty hard battle for the top position. But going down the list, I still feel that Jeremy has what it takes to take up that position. Ren Yan and Yee Siang are good to be vice-chair. They have great personalities. I'm not so sure about Ren Yan, I hardly talk to him, but I do know that Yee Siang is a great friend.
Jun Sean and Chun Yin are also great choices. Vincent will probably become student conductor with his talents. Samuel is an outspoken person too. And of course Gilbert and Ben Aw.
Well, 9 people. Who to be chairman? Who to change the organization in CO?
I wonder...
RJCO percussion concert. wish them good luck. Hope they have a great time and I'm very sure I will too.
Congratulations to Jason. He's done a great job. so sorry i couldn't come and congratulate you. haha. BL sortta prevented that from happening although in a way he wasn't trying to do that too...
Who else? I'm not sure. But 1 thing is for sure. If RICO is going to succeed in anyways, we have to start building up a good exco.

Mr. Glenn Vetuz
haha. this is a post dedicated to my brilliant chem relieve teacher.
You've been the best chem teacher I've ever had till now! haha. althogh I haven't had lots of chem teachers or anything, but still, u're so pro! haha. at least i understand what you say in class! haha... yay yay...
I can vaguely remember the first day when you came in class. It was rather humourous. You went straight into the lesson without introducing your name.
You: good morning class
Class: good morning sir
You: ok. let's start. has Mrs. Kua gone thru bla bla bla....
and we were stunned. haha.
and it was not till 2 lessons later (if I'm not wrong. correct me if I am) that you gave your name.
haha. but that didn't really matter.
I really enjoyed your lessons. especially the chem lab lesson which I will never forget. haha. THAT LAME JOKE was too ___ to be true. Put in any adjective and it will probably fit. :)
haha. Your mindmaps were brilliant. haha. Till now, I still admire how you managed to link all 4 topics together. And you taught mole concept so brilliantly. haha. I'm starting to like chem because of you. (actually I liked it before too but well, I like it more now.) haha.
Your work rate has astounded me.
I never thought that relieve teachers could be that good.
well, i noe better now.

math
lalaa. hahzzzzz...
yay. i finally understand functions and relations, after 1 hour of mugging. or maybe a bit more. haha. YES! im so happy! haha.
Inverse is just changing of subject
Composite is just combining
Inverse of composite is just finding composite den inverse which is quite easy
Finding range is simple. whatever answer is possible also can. just must be one-to-one and onto. this one may have to a bit careful.
Finding g from fg is also simple. just use inverse den put in.
g(x) = f-1 f g(x) = f-1 (fg(x))
Den drawing of graphs just concentrate. label axes. use ruler. label domain co-ordinates n turning point. n maybe if possible x-intercepts.
haha. that's all. yay. i feel so pro. haha.
yes. haha.
bye. chiong eng. yay...

lalala
lol. huiyao and i were damn lol today. haha.
it was a rather slack day, with practically 2 free periods and 1 slack on (SS)... haha. how fun. tmr shld also be like that. PE can slack after napfa. math is normal, eng and chinese just au3. haha. den RE shall slack. heehee. i dun even noe whether we r going to IBN tml.
n anyway, im left with...
1. Math TA
2. English Advocacy
sigh. TA is gonna be BAD. I catch nothing in functions. must go mug after this.
den after that, still busy. there is:
1. Qiuping Cup. Must train.
2. SMO (senior and open) ahhh...
3. Physics mugging (3 assesments at start of term for kinematics)
4. Chinese homework = du shu bao gao
5. Chinese homework = du zhe
6. Bio mugging (the 2 sections!!)
7. Math MUGGING!!! all sem 1 stuff
8. Chem mugging of sem 1 stuff. this one should be easier. With such a good teacher like Mr. Vetuz, I seem to understand much more. =)
9. CHINESE!!! <3 I love chinese. it's the most fantastic language in the entire universe...
10. Read history notes
k. that's all. i confirm can't do so much during hols especially with the tight schedule. but i'll try. =)
Why a tight schedule?
1. IBN = 20 days gone
2. SMO = 2 days (but clash with IBN)
3. Weiqi comp = 2 days n maybe even more...
4. Piano times 4 with 2 intensive. some more must start pracing like xiao. if not confirm fail.
5. Dental appointment...
zzzzzzz...
can die. haha.
well, n i have to go catch some movies. maybe with THE FRIENDS. haha.
Yeah. Happy b'dae to KC!!! LOVE!!! haha... u're brilliant class monitor!
hope u liked the card. i noe the design sucks... :((( haha. no time to ask ben yong design...
Yeah. but still... haha. yayyay... hope u liked it. me n jun sheng took the trouble to run to staff room and 3G class leh. haha. so nice rite? yaya. hahahha...
and of course Bojian. haha. happy b'dae! i forgot about urs... so sorry. haha.
MUG MUG MUG...
yay. random. vincent. huiyao. haha.
i wonder what i'm doing. k i shall go mug math now. later fail den cham...
may do another post later (if i have time)...

BIO CCT
wow whheeee...
lol. got back bio paper today. no marks addition error so it stays at 34/40. But i think she marked my bonus wrongly.
Qn: Why do females have higher oxygen consumption rate than males?
Model answer: Cuz males have higher activity rate.
LOL. im so sure. actually, i thot of that too. but i thot it was begging the question, so i wrote...
Males have more testosterone than females so they have more haemoglobin which allows more transport of oxygen throughout the body and thus a higher oxygen consumption rate.
Hmm... isn't that much more logical? but i got it wrong. lol. i hope i get the mark. I heard other teachers gave the mark for this answer too.
sigh. but nvm. im still quite happy with my score. 34/40 isn't that bad after all. Still a 4.0 and that's 4 4.0 assignments for biology. Considering that bio is the lousiest of my sciences, im happy. :)
Hm. physics is ok too. next term week 1 there are THREE physics assignments. practical, quiz and performance task, all on kinematics. haha. got to go mug. i guess the quiz will be quite simple. the practical just need to read carefully and find methods to cheat (like doing the practical backwards) haha.
Performance task is drawing of concept map. LOL. ask Mr. Vetuz. He draws great concept maps. haha. I remember him linking all 4 chem topics together, and that's what we got to do for physics too. haha. so hmm...
well, i guess that's all for now. Still trying to find people to come for RJCOpercussion concert. So far, i have asked
1) Dennis (considering, i hope he's going...)
2) Shu Jian (should be going. YEAH)
3) Jerald (need 2 c whether he got camp on that day...)
sigh. JUN SHENG!!! haha. come leh!!! i very boreddd...
Hm. k bye.

Yeah
Nooo... Chelsea tyco. the ball crossed the line!!! haha. no point crying over spilled milk though. This season has been an extraordinary one. so we shall just have to work hard for the next one...
Yesterday was rather packed. Open House first. That was stupid. Went RJCO room at 1130 only to start moving at 1230. den had a very bad stomach ache. argh! stupid... had to move instruments with a stomach ache. some more from RJCOroom to RIatrium la. like one end to another... zzz... haha. den we didn't move some instruments cuz we forgot and stuff... haha. and performance had already started b4 i even got to the atrium. sigh. haha. nvm den. performance quite bad. but well it was expected. Atrium+missing people+not much prac. not surprising. haha. went to hall for a while to see weiqi. haha. i think it was quite ok bah. played a game with Hong Bo. not bad. haha think i was winning. but den we had to go back to CO for another round of performance so we didn't finish the game.
After that, went to esplanade for a performance by Mike. haha. it was nice. though it was onli at the library, it sounded real nice. I liked the blind man. thot it was rather meaningful. haha. learnt a thing or two. yay.
den went to walk walk at suntec b4 eating and going for jiang. haha. not such an interesting lesson but still ok.

Jinghui ownage once more =)
yeah yeah.
Jinghui BIO ownage. n so is Vincent.
And so Jinghui continues his streak.
haha. n I continued mine. Though not as prominent as Jinhui's one, I consider it quite good liao la.
Bio - 34/40
So it's all 3 sciences ending the sem with 4.0. I'm happy.
I guess I could have done better if I had mugged the correct stuff. I think I concentrated on the wrong stuff.
but nvm. it is still higher than 32 (4.0). haha. for now, i shall compare bio with huiyao who scored same marks for me in both ccts (the other one 41/45) and the assignment (25/30) but he beat me in sickle cell (he got 22, i got 21/25). haha. shall aim to beat him. high aim. but i believe it's possible! =D
n jun sheng. don't feel so sad k? haha. KC too. I'm sry if hurt ur feelings. Dennis too. I'm such a lousy friend... :(
But congrats to Brian and Jinghui and of course Vincent. Jinghui, I am full of admiration 4 u... =)
haha. oh n I have to thank these people for u-know-what. love u guys! xD
1. Dennis (I'm so blessed to sit in front of u. U've taught me loads)
2. Jun Sheng (haha. pet dog help owner?)
3. Jerald (thanks for ur help on sun n mon.)
4. KC (love sitting beside u in the lab)
5. Jesslin (haha. ok. I'll remember ur tip...)
6. Wanen (hope ure having a nice time in China. xD)
thanks!
REMINDER TO SELF!
1. Math interhouse comp
2. Dental appointment
3. PSL form

change of blogskin
haha hihi people...
changed blogskin cuz Mike was complaining that the words were too small + they were no comments to be put + cannot put labels. So yar. here it is now. haha. may try to find some nicer ones with these functions next time. but for now, it will be so.
Yea. Today was such a fruitful day.
Began with CIP with interact. woke up at 8 to reach schl at 9. Started with some rehearsal on the exercises we would be doing. The volunteers, me included, were all confused over what we were supposed to do. Adding that to the complex yet easy at the same time (lol. irony.) dance moves, we were really afraid we wouldnt be able to do a good job. Well, at least I thought so. Not sure about KC, Samson and LjS though. haha. So after some practice, we set off for some toa payoh area where we were all gathered at a small but still rather cosy shelter or gathering place for the CIP to begin.
It was a really nice experience interacting with the people there. haha. The people were all rather friendly and though we did very little for them, they didn't really mind (at least i think so... xD)... So we did the dance with them first. Though the dance moves appeared simple to us, it seemed a bit too difficult for the elderlies so Titus (in charge of the dance) changed the moves on the spot with some good thinking and all of us volunteers were even more confused. haha. In the end, most of the moves were claps though.. haha. After which, we went to play the station games... I started off with the ping pong ball game. haha. it seemed all very simple to us but it seemed like a rather big challenge for the elderlies. Throwing the ball into the beaker... Hm. After that, we went to the card games stall. supposed to do pairing la. like those memory work type. got cards. den u must get 2 of the same number. haha. and supposed to have 30 sec limit. but in the end, probably bcuz of my lousy instructions, they played it the wrong way, opening more than 1 at once. haha. and they definitely crossed the 30s limit. but nvm. i think they had fun. n den after that, we played another memory work game. this time, we allowed the elderlies to see 10 items, after which we placed them into the box and ask them to try to remember all 10 items again. with some help from the students, all of them got all correct. haha. den there was song guessing competition as well.
After that, it was lunch time. So just scoop the food and serve the people loh. haha. quite ok la. and after that, it was pack up time n sending the elderlies off.
Haha. so i guess it was a rather simple CIP. well, i think it was quite useful to both the elderlies and me... I'm starting to like interact. haha. maybe go join with KC. Hmm... see how bah... haha.
n i got to know a few friends too!
1. Knee (vietnamese scholar from 4H) treasurer too!
2. Guo Wei
3. Zhong Yi
n got to know more of
1. Samson
2. Nigel Koh
3. Xiang Peng
haha. not bad... so after that, sat bus back to j8 with Samson, Guo Wei, KC and LjS. haha. fun!~
So after that rushed to esplanade onli to find myself late but still earlier than Sam. haha. Sam took a taxi and he was later than me... Hmm... what does that say about S'pore's road traffic compared to the MRT??
haha. But he reached on time and b4 long, we were in the theatre. Omg. haha. Theatre was big... We were sitting in circle 3 but the first row of circle 3. I think those were quite good seats considering we bought it much cheaper than those in circle 2 n circle 1 n stall seats. got a rather big picture of the whole thing...
So anyway... the musical really started with a bang. an auction. Hmm... I loved the first scene. I think it's the best scene. And the second best one would be the one with the producers and directors and actresses etc discussing on whether or not to continue filming cuz of the phantom. haha. I thot that scene was rather amusing.
Hmmzzzz... So ya. It was damn good. I loved it. haha. all the singing, the music, the props... woah. it was pro. Really enjoyed it. wont ever forget about it mann... it has changed my entire perception of musicals...
After the musical ended, went 4 weiqi lesson. haha. trashed ze xi twice b4 going for jiang.
lol. i think a lot of people werent paying attention during jiang. me included. but i still learnt quite a lot of things today. Hm. stupid la. We did the same bao zhang du hou gan at jiang as the one we had for our exam... zzz... haha. y didnt we do it earlier??
k. nvm. haha. yar. so, that is that. I really love this sort of fruitful days. So much knowledge to learn. So fun. haha. Really hope i can have more of these sort of days.
k. anyway, tml will be chionging homework day.
AND, there are more things to add on.
1. Mug for SMO (important)
2. Start reading up bio and chem tb
3. Start reading up math tb
I got to catch up with people like Barry and Huiyao before I fall too far behind...
zzz. screw the ccts man... i hate them... ahhh....
Math challenge and SS assignment!!! History Project!!!

ccts
omg omg.
Bio IS officially screwed. omg. it's like almost 8 marks minus off liao. ahh...
I'm dead la. I screwed up ALL my ccts.
worst of all history. didn't even have time to conclude / do reliability. omg. I'm screwed.
SS i hope he will accept my kind of answer. If that's the case, then maybe, MAYBE still ok.
Sigh. This means that I really need to work hard for my assignments...

1 thing is for sure though. I have developed friendships in RI. This may be seen as the only thing I have achieved so far...
Just hope that these friendships will last me a lifetime. Or at least a long time.

There are many more. Probably too many to mention. But they are really great friends. And they are the only source of motivation, keeping me going all this while.
Not to forget my family members as well.
Just hope I didn't make the wrong choice.

mug
realise my last few posts are all about mugging? sigh. i think im obssessed liao.
i hate it, but i still do it. for the sake of my future.
I really wonder at times, whether what I learn now, will be of any use in the future. As I study how monosaccharides combine to become disaccharides via condensation reactions, I ask myself why am I studying this? Do I really care? Is JC really where I should go? Isn't poly a much more practical option?
Sometimes I admire people like Ben Yong who dare to change. In sec 2, I took triple sci for a simple reason, it was expected of most RI students to study the three sciences. But people like Ben Yong, even though getting into all 3 science RAs, decided to just take 2 sciences and 2 humans, knowing that biology wouldnt be much use to him.
And sometimes I admire people like Jinghui who manage to be so carefree about his studies yet still perform at a relatively high standard. How does he do it? Should I be like him?
I wonder at times whether I should be in an IP school, studying in the RP. I ask myself, what have I learnt in sec 1 and I've totally forgotten them. I can't even remember the most basic of math, the number line.
Is the O-Level people really lagging behind? Or are we the ones who seem to be faster yet in actual fact, we dont learn a thing. We learn them, and after they are tested, we throw them away to make space for the next thing.
Probably the reason why they added in the EOYs. But is this the end? The things I learnt in biology in sec 1, taxonomy, digestive systems, photosynthesis. I can't remember a single thing about them. All I can remember is that I studied them b4.
And sometimes, I ask myself, is this what I really want? Will this help me in the future?
"...you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever." - Steve Jobs
This quote has been on my blog for quite a few months. Yet every time I read it, I reflect on what I've done. Have I really placed my dots at where I want them to be? Will they really help me connect to what I will become in the future?
What do I want to become in the future? That's another great question which I have practically no answer to. I don't wanna do anything related to biology cuz I simply hate it. I took it cuz I was "forced" to. Or maybe not. but still it really isn't my passion. None in the humans side either. Definitely not languages, I'm not talented in that area. Physics and Chem. and maybe math. and maybe economics, accounting, business, engineering... I ask myself am I interested in these stuff. The answer is I honestly dont know. But for now, it's the direction I will head towards.
And have the way I studied, has my life in RI, helped me in anyway to achieve this?
Sometimes, I feel that I would have done much better in some other neighbourhood school.
But then again, would I? Or am I just misled to think in that way?
Have I pressed myself too hard? Have I stressed myself too far? I really want to become like Ben Yong or Jinghui, but I just can't get myself to do so. It's just impossible.
For now, I'll continue it my way. But I really doubt this will help me. I've gotta change.
Change for the better.

i hate it, but i still do it. for the sake of my future.
I really wonder at times, whether what I learn now, will be of any use in the future. As I study how monosaccharides combine to become disaccharides via condensation reactions, I ask myself why am I studying this? Do I really care? Is JC really where I should go? Isn't poly a much more practical option?
Sometimes I admire people like Ben Yong who dare to change. In sec 2, I took triple sci for a simple reason, it was expected of most RI students to study the three sciences. But people like Ben Yong, even though getting into all 3 science RAs, decided to just take 2 sciences and 2 humans, knowing that biology wouldnt be much use to him.
And sometimes I admire people like Jinghui who manage to be so carefree about his studies yet still perform at a relatively high standard. How does he do it? Should I be like him?
I wonder at times whether I should be in an IP school, studying in the RP. I ask myself, what have I learnt in sec 1 and I've totally forgotten them. I can't even remember the most basic of math, the number line.
Is the O-Level people really lagging behind? Or are we the ones who seem to be faster yet in actual fact, we dont learn a thing. We learn them, and after they are tested, we throw them away to make space for the next thing.
Probably the reason why they added in the EOYs. But is this the end? The things I learnt in biology in sec 1, taxonomy, digestive systems, photosynthesis. I can't remember a single thing about them. All I can remember is that I studied them b4.
And sometimes, I ask myself, is this what I really want? Will this help me in the future?
"...you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever." - Steve Jobs
This quote has been on my blog for quite a few months. Yet every time I read it, I reflect on what I've done. Have I really placed my dots at where I want them to be? Will they really help me connect to what I will become in the future?
What do I want to become in the future? That's another great question which I have practically no answer to. I don't wanna do anything related to biology cuz I simply hate it. I took it cuz I was "forced" to. Or maybe not. but still it really isn't my passion. None in the humans side either. Definitely not languages, I'm not talented in that area. Physics and Chem. and maybe math. and maybe economics, accounting, business, engineering... I ask myself am I interested in these stuff. The answer is I honestly dont know. But for now, it's the direction I will head towards.
And have the way I studied, has my life in RI, helped me in anyway to achieve this?

hm.
the race has ended. that is, man u's race. The premiership race. Champions once again. Yeah. I'm so happy...
but then again. the race has only just started. for me, that is...
Physics today was relatively easy.
Chem teacher tricked us. there was no chem quiz. urgh... i hate it... nvm. i didn't mug much...
so. SS is tomorrow. the first of the real tests...
i wonder how i will do. my first ever SS test...
sigh. shall go study some stuff. actly nothing much to study... just...
1. determine what is your own utopia
2. why do u think this is the utopia
3. why u think this is unachievable
4. the levels and how to answer an SS qn.
of cuz to go with that, u could read up on...
1. what is a society. definition, elements...
2. religion and culture
3. Political Ideology
k. this is quite ok la.
k. let's aim short-term goals. shall go for this one first.
Patrick

chu mo lyrics
触摸歌词
Intro:
听说南方从来不会有寂寞
听说在海边世界没有尽头
你哭覂告诉我
你和他梦想的种种
我会是你雨天的湖泊
拥抱你的温柔
好想看你的笑容
对离开的他说
你心中那份美丽
怎么找都不会再有
Chorus:
轻轻触摸未来遥远的风
有一天你会找回你的梦
幸福是看得透而不是
舍不得他的所有
慢慢触摸天空暖暖的火
我在这天黑了也不会走
你的快乐除了他还有
我永远守候
不要难过
Bridge:
听说冬天叶子熟了会脸红
听说在天空有迷人的星座
一起去探险吧
也许你会喜欢而感动
你沉默的时候
我知道你的心还很痛
真想看你的笑容
对你的他大声说
I just love this song.

CCT+drama
RJdrama wasn't that good... or rather it was bad. haha. it was BORING and DRAGGY. i thought the ideas were creative and great. the actors were brilliant (although not as brilliant as last year), the props were fast and efficient. the lights and sounds were ok (except for a major screw-up when the anti-virus appeared half-way thru the drama. LOL...
BUT THE WAY THEY ARRANGED THE SCRIPT WAS TOO DRAGGY.
as in really. the last skit took 1hr 45min or maybe more.
As Jerald very kindly pointed out, it's longer than Shrek.
and probably longer than many other movies.
omg. it was really bad.
but, it got me thinking. i need to get to know the whole storyline clearly now. i think i'll ask aaron or ying jie for the plot. there's a deep meaning behind it. n i really want to know that deep meaning. think it'll be useful in the future.
The world featured as a monopoly game of 2 people manipulating each other, manipulating the society to become the winner of the game. A game which lasts 15 years... bit like dictatorship.
but still, i dont really understand the plot. it seemed so cool yet so deep. i have to understand it. it shld help me...
i wonder...
today was exhausting la. go schl at 630, come home at 1100... sigh. not the worst though.
PE: do 2.4. oh my goodness. my timing went from 1330 to 1425?? ahh.. and everyone's timing increased by so much. i must start pacing jerald or maybe if possible keng chee. :)
Weiqi: FUN! wow. finally went for one whole session. no math ra mah. haha. it was damn fun la. i learnt so much.
CO: taiwan and dong hai again. im getting bored... jian-ing xylo + pai gu is impossible. (really it is, not that i cant. cuz there are bars where i must play both instruments and there are MANY such bars)
Chinese drama: see above
Homework list (added on) b4 CCT
1. philo essay
2. dan zhang
3. Math RA qns + assignment
4. Chem File
k. with all the added stuff + 2nite's inability to study.
The plan (revised):
sat: (skip weiqi lesson) do history, chem n phy revision. come home after class do chem file. if possible dan zhang
sun: bio revision + chem and phy which is not done. + all other hmwk.
This is gonna be hectic man. something like cct period la. just that there is homework to add now... zzz...
k. that's all for now. need lots of sleep b4 tml start chionging history. i got to do well for my CCTs...

- Bio CCT (killer. biological molecules + enzymes (?)) i wonder... just mug like xiao.
- Napha
Next next week is homework week. 4 homework to hand in
- Philo Essay (easy. crap out something on thur + fri)
