L change the world

Just watched that movie... Not as intriguing as death note 2 but still ok. L continues to be damn cool and this time even humourous and there continues to be the kind of foreshadowing and suspense which i like. However, the movie was rather cliched, not very original like the death note thing and the 23 days didn't really come out as it should have. I was expecting it to be a race against time but it didn't seem to be as such in the movie. In the end, L still had 1 day to live after completing his task. I was expecting something like him completing the task just before he dies. But still quite nice. The boy and the girl in the movie are really cute and L looks damn funny whenever he types, holds something or babysits. Hmm. yeah. guess that's all the comments i have.

Anyway, i took some time these few days to design the class jersey but i seem to have some problems sending it to the e-grp. So here it is for people who come visit my blog. Do leave comments:


Here's the logo.


The front of the shirt.


And the back of the shirt...

haha. ok. think that's all. i think i'll go do my zuo wen now. bye! (:

March Hols

March hols are here...

well, it's already tuesday. haix.

but, anyway, here's a recap of the past few days...

Saturday:
Nothing much... went for CO which was average before eating with perc people. Then, went for dental appointment. nothing much there as well... Weiqi was next and i lost rather badly. haha. sigh. nvm... anyway, jiang was also ok. lol nothing much to talk about. hmm...

Sunday:
CIP! yeah. @ the zoo. haha. went to zoo at 730am. had quite a wait there, watching some kids play b4 some other RI people came along and we went in for a briefing. I was supposed to be in charge of a game called salamandar dance. haha. quite funny. it was a game where there was a mat with a lot of footprints and the kids were supposed to follow these footprints to move from one end to the other just like how a salamandar would. so, after the briefing, we set off in one of the cool zookeeper's car-like tram to the place where we would set up our booth, the fragile forest. took some time to make some preparations like setting up the table, laptop, game, whiteboards and stuff... Then, we started realising that there were millions of mosquitos there and i was wearing the school PE pants, which meant i was rather vulnerable. Started itching everywhere just like some other ri people but after a while it was ok and we started work. Publicity people started doing their job but realised there was no one coming. Not surprising given that we were at the inner most part of the zoo. But the publicity people got rather fed up and we swapped task. haha. so shanzhi and i were in charge of publicity. started out slow, but it gradually picked up pace as more and more people came. and with shanzhi and my brilliant communication skills, people started going in. Not just families with kids, but also adults. haha. Then, Marc, who was in charge of another booth next to us called Frog Calls came over to help up with publicity cuz there were already 2 cedar girls manning the booth. haha. so, we three started doing publicity. it was rather fun communicating with random people, giving out vises to people, telling them about the year of the frog and our job here. haha. from children and teenagers to adults and elderlies. haha. the people were usually rather nice. When I invited this elderly to go play some games, he said "哎呀,人都那么老了,还玩什么?". haha. anyway, quite fun luh. so we did publicity for 2.5 hrs straight b4 going for lunch. lunch was ok... not bad bah. den shanzhi and i bought a bottle of ice lemon tea and it caused $3. omg. lol. and we soon realised how dumb we were when we saw that there were free drinks provided for us. haha. ok nvm. so during lunch, Marc and I were having fun talking cock and after lunch we continued with publicity. Then, it started to rain, so we went in to help out with the booth, giving instructions to kids, making them want to play and cheering them when they were playing. Sounds like taiwan heh. haha. but much smaller scale. Nvm, it was still good memories. haha. So, that was rather slack. We did get many people to play. There was this adult who was quite funny. He said "我可以玩吗?". Den I said "当然可以啦" and he said "但是我玩了后,骨头都碎了怎么办?". haha. so i said "应该不会吧". haha, den he said "还是不要啦,除非你打电话叫ambulance来". haha. very funny. anyway, our booth attracted quite a lot of people. some teenagers played as well. haha. so funny. (: but overall, good job done by Marc and me cuz we made many people want to play. Den it stopped raining at 2+ and we started doing publicity again. muahaha. very fun. giving out vises again and stuff. but, it all ended at around 4 and we packed up and left. Marc and I took a slow walk back to the auditorium and Marc took some pics along the way. haha. quite nice. the zebras, orang utans, giraffes... haha all very cute. well, so after that, it was some small reflections before we all went home. The other booth also included the face painting booth which was rather funny. haha. Justin had his face painted.. damn funny. but quite nice luh. I would never be able to do that. AEP pro. haha. anyway, got to know a few friends through this CIP including already known friends like Marc, Shanzhi and Justin and other friends like Shanghai and Derwin who are like Jerald x2. haha. (: damn funny people. they talk totally random. not bad... quite fun but of course very tiring. publicity for 4 hrs = walking around for 4 hrs. haha.

Monday:
Hmm CIP AGAIN! haha. this time at RGPS for primary 4 GE chinese cultural camp. I was a 特别助手, which was like a non-class based PSL. Hmm. it was a rather nice experience given that I was a class-based PSL in RI so experiencing non-class based PSLs was new. Hmm. we thought it would be rather slack but it didn't start out that way. we were supposed to give out files and gifts to various classes. But, some wrong labelling of classes and disorganization caused us to need to check whether the number of files were correct for 4 times and gifts at least twice. In the end, all went well. OH! and I saw 王白安老师 there. HAHA! omg... so funny. dunno whether he recognized me. He was teaching 书法. but anyway, after that, we were more organized and we started doing stuff faster and thus had much slack time. helped out a bit with the food stuff at the canteen and other gifts and stuff. Nothing much bah. Cleaning up and stuff. Later on, got to become a prize presenter so got to be on stage muahaha. with jie liang. haha. 4B cec. hmm. nothing much though. later on, had to sort out the feedback forms which was a rather tedious task. but teamwork among ying jie, shu jian and me made the job much faster. So, overall, it was ok. got to know a few friends, saw how GE people used to study and of course I got to see how P4 people had lessons. Hmm. haha. their lessons seem rather boring somehow. im so glad i have more interesting lessons in RI. but i guess as children, the lessons can't be too interesting given that they wouldn't understand some jokes and stuff. But GE people are honestly very enthu. lol. first time i see so many people raise their hands for a question asked and so many people listening attentively. so, overall, quite ok...

all, right, so that was the previous few days.

HOMEWORK:
So, in the upcoming few days, it will be some slack and some work. Here's a list of homework:

1. Phy - Exercise 17.1 and 17.2

hmm. guess that's all for now. going to watch L today I think. hmm.

bye.

end of TERM 1!

woohoo! it's the end of the term! oh my gosh... this term was definitely hectic...

ok, let's go by events, like kenneth.

1. First Day
hmm. first thing i remember: i was late. lol. not really late as in late for morning assembly, but PSLs were suppossed to meet at 645 and i reached at 715. haha. but didn't matter much. went over to where 1Q was and saw eric and a few others...

i'm not sure why, but i felt rather close to my fellow PSLs then. I think it's cuz normally when u're together, u compare each other by classes and as John Locke (or whoever) said, you tend to maximize the differences from each other. But, when we were looking after 1Q, we looked at ourselves as sec 4s and maximized our differences with the sec 1s and the similarities among ourselves. haha. well, just a theory.

but, anyway, first day was ok. I thought I did quite a good job especially at the last part where we were suppossed to have a debrief. Everyone was quite tired and the energy level was rather low. But I tried to raise the spirits by doing something I learnt in RI: to be loud. it's weird, but i think in RI, they teach you to become a loud leader. it's good in the sense that you're commanding but it's not very good also cuz it makes people get irritated with you after a while. Another reason why I tried to be loud and soft, strict and friendly at different times according to the situation so that I remained commanding but respectable. Guess that's what Mrs. Maas meant by being a "brotherly figure".

So, back to the topic of first day, I used the kind of echo cheer where I said something like "do you think you have what it takes to be the best class in the camp?" followed by a cheer of "QUACK" by the class. It started out soft like always but after repeating it a few times, it became rather loud and I could sense the energy and I thought we ended on a high note. (:

2. Orientation Camp:
The orientation camp was FUN! haha. definitely enjoyable. I totally loved it.

It was like coming through a full circle. In sec 1, we were led. In sec 4, we were leading. In sec 1, we were asking. In sec 4, we were answering. In sec 1, we slept late. In sec 4, we slept later. But it was totally fun. All the great events planned by the main camp people and the execution of it by the PSLs were totally brilliant. I was so happy that I was a class-based PSL, cuz I could interact with sec 1s and make more friends. following my class everywhere we went, seeing them do their activities, thinking of what I did when I was in sec 1... It was soooooo nice. I can't emphasize enough. lol. looking back, i would divide the camp into a few sections...

firstly, the events itself, planned by the main camp was totally great. haha. damn fun. The first event wasn't very good given the location we had... a bag check in the junior block atrium always meant chaos. The opening ceromony was ok, could be better, but already an improvement. After that, the activities started getting better and better. I especially loved the cheers teaching and the dance teaching. ESPECIALLY DANCE. haha. damn fun. got to chat with a lot of 1Q people while dancing, making fun of each other, getting to know them... then, making of our own cheers was quite fun also. It was just another of those activities where elements which are so important in an RI student were taught... Leadership, creativity, innovation, fast-thinking... In the end, I was so proud of my class as we made 2 completely imba cheers... It was damn nice. After that, all the major events like station games, water games, bishan hike and walk of initiation were all very fun. we could see 1Q excel as a class in many things. In station games, 1Q was the fastest and this is critical in RI where late minute QUALITY work is so valued. In water games, 1Q learnt to face adversity as we were defeated badly cuz we were the first class to be attacked. In bishan hike, 1Q once again showed speed and determination as we braved the rain to finish 6 stations. And of course, the walk of iniatiation showed the trust they had built up with each other during the few days of the camp. OH! and how could we ever forget fright night and war games. War games was DAMN fun for the PSLs. It reminded me of my duties as a prefect in primary school... "this way to the parade square..."... now i had to say "this way to happy happy land". haha. it was very fun. and of course the holy alter was also damn fun as we went "free life *clap clap clap* free life *clap clap clap*..." haha. damn funny. then fright night was also very fun as we got to watch Incertible Tales.

But of course, events are nothing without people. So, another big part of the orientation had to be 1Q. 1Q totally rocks. haha. there are really interesting people in the class like darren, matthew, wen rui, nicholas... a lot more haha. but all very nice. The orientation was made so much more fun with them around. Joking with them, seeing them do activities, leading them, letting them take the lead... I was especially impressed with Matthew who stood out as a leader. But of course, there's much for him and 1Q to learn...

And of course, there were the wonderful PSL friends that I made... Firstly, there's the 1Q PSLs, Michael, Biq, Dixon, Renyong, Zhi Xuan (SECRET! lol.), Gerald and Eric. It was a really weird combination of 3 ruggers, 1 squasher (?) and 4 musical grp people. But anyway all were nice people, and so we all bonded very well... then, there were other PSLs... didn't communicate so much with them except for friends like kenneth, jun sheng, edward, KC, Jerald, Eugene, Dennis... haha, but overall, fellow PSLs made the whole experience so much more fun as we were doing service with friends.

And, lastly, MYSELF! muahaha. I was rather impressed with my performance. I was actually known by many as being loved by many sec 1s, which is rather nice. haha. so, here are my achievements during orientation camp:

1. Making many PSL friends
2. Making many sec 1 friends, esp. 1Q! (:
3. Practicing leadership in many forms like service and directive
4. Learning how to be a "brotherly figure"

haha... a lot more luh... lol.

ok, not a very good summary, shall do a better one for this event next time, but let's move on...

3. JRIC
JRIC preparation was totally fun. Got to know a few friends and tied strings for 2 afternoons and nights. haha. sounds boring but actually quite fun with so many funny people around like Biquan with his prank call joke... had 2 11pm nights haha... of course, the main thing was JRIC itself... It was very fun. My job was to bring the candle to headmaster for him to light up the alcohol to produce a flame. haha. it was rather scary was the candle flame always seemed as if it was going to extinguish, luckily it didn't and there weren't much problems there. My next task was the presenting of badges to shan zhi who presented it to headmaster. haha. almost had a very big screw up as the rope with the badges attached untied itself and i had to quickly tie it back. luckily it worked and it didn't drop. phew... haha. but the most impressive thing was the finale with institution anthem, batch song, unite, spirit, samba, jam, kemama ++ AND THE DANCE. HAHA! damn funny... but it was all very fun and another nice experience.

4. Sports profiling with 1Q:
This wasn't much, just followed 1Q around for sports profiling. valuable time for chatting with friends. haha.

5. LjS Birthday
Oh, this was a big event. haha. I was in charge of buying his present, and so we bought him a soft toy hand. haha. so funny! (: anyway, it was, as always, a surprise party. So, we prepared the card during recess with Kenneth leading him in circles around the school to buy time. The card was the size of 8 A4 pages when opened so there was much space for designing. But thanks to some good thinking by KC, we managed to fill up much space with photos. haha. in the end, it looked sooooo cool. haha. so anyway, last lesson of the day was bio, so we got Mrs. Low to present the presents to LjS and we all sang him a happy birthday song. yay! so nice right... haha. somehow, birthday parties for Go6P is getting bigger and bigger... haha. looking forward to the next one...

6. "Parenting with Confidence" ushering
Nothing much but still a new experience. Got to usher a few parents and work with teachers in the organizing of this event.

7. Interact Club "Community Day" Poster design
Nothing much for this again. Just learnt some new ways to design, cut and stuff... had fun talking to Mr. Kenneth Kwok whom I think is a brilliant deputy headmaster. haha. he's so nice yet he commands so much respect. That's the kind of leader who's really good. haha... It's the first time deputy headmasters come down to help out with such mundane stuff like posters and I believe that this interacting with students is just as important as securing partner schools for OIP. anyway, nice experience... (:

8. SMP opening ceromony
haha. small event once again, but had much fun with Aaron, Ying Jie and Nigel... I just love joking around with them... we are soooo humourous when we're together... and of course, this was aided by the very funny lecturer... haha...

9. CEC investiture
haha. big event for KC and of course the CEC. Reformation of CEC council this year, so this event also became relatively big. It was rather well done on the whole... But of course, the more touching things are always the small things that people don't see. For me, when I went on stage for my badge to be pinned, I shook hands with both Mr. Kwa and Mr. Chng. haha. they are such nice teachers. especially Mr. Kwa. hmm. anyway, we were smiling on stage to each other and i couldn't help but laugh.

10. Chinese Orchestra
Actually, this includes a lot of events, but i just grouped them here, cuz it shows our progress. Firstly, arts at the atrium wasn't very well done. Passable but that's all. After that, chinese new year performance was a slight performance. Here, once again, we tried something new as we prac-ed at the squash courts behind the hall stage. haha. damn fun! but, i was very impressed with cui cheng and denny for their guts of going up stage after so little prac... Then, there was interact club dinner performance which was much better. I was especially impressed with percussion who were on our best. no screw ups! muahahaha! yeah! and lastly, there was bukit batok CC performance which was even better as more percussionists participated in the dazu pieces. not very perfected but at least we did our best. And percussion piece was once again well done. (: hope we can become even better!

11. Chess Club
2 events under here. Firstly, raffles trail for merit cca... oh i remember this was after co rehearsal for chinese new year... had to move instruments from hall back to CO room and it was raining. omg. And only denny and I were there for percussion. We made 3.5 trips to and fro haha... maybe that's the reason why i can do 1 pull up now! HOORAY! lol. it was indeed tiring. we were all drenched but very fun working together. but back to the main point, raffles trail was ok. did have some innovative ideas but hong bo suggested that we opted for a simpler option and it worked. In the sec 1 chess tournament, 7 people turned up for weiqi, a record in 4 years. haha. (: so it's a job well done. of course, there's still much to be done. Reformation needed here and i'll be aiming to do that in term 2...

12. Daqiao mentoring
This term also marked the start of my interact club career with daqiao mentoring. i've gone there thrice now and i've learnt loads, from handling younger students to sports. haha. sounds weird here but a very important part of the mentoring session is the playing of sports with them. So anyway, there are around 6 people in the class but the closest person I am to now is Jia Hao (not barry lol). Still haven't really understood him but im in the process of doing that. somehow, i know that he's gone through a lot already and i really want to help him. hope i can do that. but it's a good start to the mentoring sessions for me. playing basketball, soccer, catching with them is also very fun. haha. im getting owned in basketball by them... RARH! haha. nvm. with practice, i'll improve.

13. PSGM
PSGM sessions was another means of interaction with 1Q. Got to know more about them, train my on-the-spot thinking skills and much more... haha. I always said quite a lot during these sessions which im rather happy about! haha.

14. School
School has been great. most of the teachers are the same except for a few changes in chinese, physics, history and ss... i love the teachers! haha. Mrs. Kua is still her old cool self and her teaching still rocks. Mrs. Low is much nicer this year and much less strict with us. Ms. Kek looked cool talking to parents during level meeting, Mr. Kwa's also becoming damn cool and damn nice to me! haha. Ms. Yong's also a very very good teacher and i've learnt loads from her. Mrs. Matthews has been a very nice a good teacher as well. and of course who can forget Mr. Wong whose digression and jokes we all love. results have been average, except for math which has been really good! (: yay! sounds like sec 2 oopss... haha.

15. Level Meeting
haha. not much, just some ushering and having fun with Jie Liang, Eric, KC etc. haha. And, had 1 hr of fun throwing paper aeroplane from 3rd floor down to the field. (:

16. Term 1 CLASS PARTY
haha. new and reformed as well. We came up with this idea of having performances as we ate and it was very nice especially with the australians around. mm. haha. brings about another point. Got to interact with the australians for 2 weeks as they came over for exchange. They're rather shy but nice at the same time. So anyway, class party was fun with leonard, KC, eugene, bojian all performing. There were other performances lined up as well but we didn't have time. nevermind about that. we did a good job and we'll make term 2 class party BIGGER and BETTER, just like CEC COUNCIL, MUAHAHAHA!!!

15. Conclusion
So, if i were to conclude term 1, it would be trying out new stuff and learning loads from them. It's my last year in RI and I want to make the full use of it. I've tried to participate in as many activities as possible and im proud that i've done just that. there are still some other less important stuff like going for football league opening ceromony and prefect's investiture where i learnt some stuff as well. But, overall, i've done loads this term and im proud! (: I've tried loads of new stuff from being a mentor (PSL stuff + mentoring) to leadership in CEC and CCA stuff... haha. of course others include organization and creativity...

16. Looking Forward
I hope I can repeat what I did in term 1, participating in as much as I can, learning from new stuff... there's much to look forward to.

CCA: continuing with interact club mentoring and other CIP events such as zoo ++, develop perc into an imba section in CO!, reform Chess Club
CEC: Even better class parties, class jersey, class blog, class wristband (i hope) ++
others: birthdays to look forward to and other organizational events which come my way! woohoo!

ok. think that's all for now bah.

today's 93.3 is soooo funny. i can't stop laughing. but it's going to be over and 93.3's gonna 换班. haha im gonna miss 玛丽 cuz she is a very good DJ. mm... nvm. we'll see.

k. that's all. TERM1'S OVER! (:

Tuesday, March 04, 2008

hmm.

hello.

history test tomorrow. i wonder...

ok. nvm. anyway, today was level meeting. was supposed to usher parents... ended up walking around and watching rugby match. of course i did help a few parents who had queries but i found it difficult to answer their questions cuz they often asked who is the teacher... the place was rather messy and it was hard to find and i didn't really know exactly how he or she looked.

but anyway, had fun with some friends. after all the parents had gone into the auditorium, the CEC started folding aeroplane and throwing it down 3 stories. haha. it was quite fun especially with eric and jie liang folding and throwing planes... mm...

oh and today PE was 2.4 + pull up. achievement in both! woohoo! 2.4 ran in 12:34 which was an improvement from last year's 13:10. yay!!! it's a C now. yeah. den pull up i did 2 and almost a 3rd... haha. so happy!

ok. sleep.

Sunday, March 02, 2008

sunday today.

hello!

it's been a very hectic week with all the CCTs and projects... think i've done average for most, could be better but could also be much worse so i can't complain too much.

Anyway, yesterday was Bukit Batok CIP performance.

i thought it was rather good. given the turnout rate and stuff. It was a nice experience for me too, with many first-times. It was the first time I was leading the moving of instruments up the lorry. Didn't do too good a job as it was my first time and it was rather messy, small instruments coming up before the large instruments and people slacking around. But I guess that's ok given my first try. i'll need much more help next time when we bring even more stuff. But anyway, I've sort of grasped how to position instruments best. (: And then, sat at the front of the lorry with lexus and the very funny uncle.

We were going to bukit batok east CC for performance...
Uncle: Hey you all going to mandai zoo to perform right?
Me: Yeah. We're playing to the lions.

lol...

Then...
Me: hey the others are up there in the CC already
Lexus: yeah. how did they get up there huh?
Uncle: alamak. what kind of question is that? obviously they flew up there right?

><

and much more... haha...

and the music he was listening to was really amusing as well...

so after that, we moved instruments, tuned our stuff and prepared a bit before dinner.

Dinner was rather fun as we got to chat around with friends which we very rarely had time to communicate with. Used that time to give much-needed briefings and I thought I did a rather good job there. woohoo! (: and it was fun talking to the scholars whom I think are really nice! I think Perc section is made up of very nice people!

We have:
1 Hong Kong-nese? (Me)
3 Chinese (Zhaolin, Chu Ming, Cui Cheng)
1 Taiwanese (Li Wei)
2 Malaysians (Julian, Zheng Hao? sorry forgot the name liao... oops)
2 Indonesians (Stanley, Denny)
2 Singaporeans (Shu Jian, Lexus)

not sure where Yao Lin is from but I've a feeling he's from Hong Kong. lol. he knows cantonese. and the malaysians too! (:

this is what i call a real mix of nationalities. haha.

anyway, we all had a great time. I thought it was a right way to let these new members have a try at performance in public cuz it was not so formal and so they could try out performing without fearing screw-ups. Of course, we all made screw-ups but i was really impressed, especially with Denny and Cui Cheng who played the drum set for the first time together with the orchestra. They hadn't tried it during practice and they just went to perform and they didn't do too bad a job too. esp. denny who learns really fast, he's really musically talented..

anyway, later on there was a perc performance of qin wang dian bing. I was quite nervous cuz we hadn't prac-ed the piece for 3 weeks but we did amazingly well. So I was rather pleased. We also ended quite well so that's a job well done! (:

After that, moving back was also a new experience as I sat at the back of the lorry with 3 other scholars. haha. FUN! it was very windy and nice after so much sweating in the moving of instruments and uploading... haha. had a nice talk with them...

hmm. think that's all i want to say bah. there are other things but i guess those can be left out. haha. biased account heh?

k. bye!

addtional post

waiting for the shortie kenneth to send his stuff so...

hmm... just thot i would blog for a while...

1. AMC
AMC was a total screw up as i got 97.5... RARH! oh my gosh... never get 100... what made matters worse was my wrong decision of answering 3 more questions on top of the 13 i knew i had gotten correct, in which i needed 2 or more correct to get 100. if i had answered 1, i would only need to get that 1 correct. SIGH! and some more the mistakes in calculations were rather careless, probably due to the dumb stomach ache. haix. my 100 mark!

2. Sleep
I want sleep! (:

THURSDAY

finally, thursday's here...

got back 2 papers today. both are a little below average but still acceptable (average as in my expected mark)... chinese cct 41.5. quite ok given the toughness of the test but thot i could get at least 43 if i were more observant in my zong he tian kong. bio prac was 17/23 which was ok... not a 4.0 but still acceptable.

hmm... so 2 acceptable marks.

today was eng erp and hist test. eng erp was ok given that we were the first group to present. Ms. Tang commented that our group's angle was rather good and Yingxiang's analysis was good as well. of course, we were owned by the imba Vincent who totally owned in his presentation but i guess it's ok given our standards. (: we worked hard so no regrets. history cct was ok. just hope i dont go out of point. rarhhhh... >< for both history and ss, it should be all right if i dont go out of point. sigh...

yeah. then, next was DAQIAO MENTORING which was totally fun! haha. went there early and played a bit of basketball (: haha. it's so fun to play basketball with the guys there. (: or catching. lol. next, went up to revise with them for their test. it was quite hard cuz i had to teach this guy who was quite unwilling to study. but i tried my best and though we didn't achieve much, i guess i could have done much worse. that guy got injured 3 times that day, and he cried each time he injured himself. hmm, guess he has much to learn... he's still P4 so there's still much time. just spent time sitting down with him at the balcony (they have a balcony like place outside their classroom) and at the big basketball court (with lots of hoops) and chatted with him. played a bit of basketball and stuff with them again. haha. very fun. (: but of course luwei owned us. sigh... but overall very fun and rewarding. i guess i have to earn the respect of them first and i think i earned one today, that is the guy i taught. he started to listen to me and wasn't so naughty as compared to the start and he even asked me to go up to his house. didn't do so in the end as his mother came to fetch him. hmm... haha. the guys there are very fun people luh... much to learn from them just like how much they've got to learn. i guess that's why they call it service-learning...

hmm. think that's all for now bah. bye! (:

Wednesday, February 27, 2008

oh my.

today was bio test and AMC. didnt get to present SS today...

bio test was ok. did average for it. should be able to get above 32 but whether it's a high 4.0 remains to be seen...

RE was ok also. went over to SP, saw the lab and the stuff in there. omg. the place is so much more clean and less messy than IBN. haha. but i guess IBN has much more sophiscated instruments...

next, AMC was totally screwed up. had a really bad tummy ache and was trying to resist the temptation of going to the toilet. Did the first 10 qns relatively fast (although big possibility of errors) cuz it was rather easy so not that much thinking needed... but then, as i reached the 11th question, i realised i couldn't stand it anymore and went to the toilet, wasting nearly 10 mins of my time. in the end, when i went back solved another 3 qns and tikam another 3 before handing in. siann... think this time confirm cannot get into AIME one luh.... last year got in but missed it lol...

tomorrow shall be erp and history cct before a slack period of 3 days! yay!

and of course, week 10 which now consists of:
1. Chem Prac
2. Phy Prac
3. History test
4. SS presentation...

shldn't be as stressful as this week though. (:

tuesday

today was rather slack...

Prefect's Investiture was ok, not as good as last year but still ok i guess. AV screw ups were normal but other stuff went ok. haha saw ying jie, barry and nigel dance. and cheered rather loud for Xiong Wei and Long. But then, it was incomparable to Tian Yi's. haha.

anyway, i've been watching rico concert video and it brings back so much memories. SIGH... especially reading the post i wrote back then... haix. if only i could share my feelings with the perc members...

Anyway, found something interesting..


SEE! SHU JIAN AND DENNIS! haha. spotted them during encore piece.

haix. rico concert was just soooooooo nice! (:

Last mugging of bio before editing of SS script and sleep. YAY!

1. SS presentation
2. Bio CCT
3. Eng presentation
4. History CCT
5. CIP concert

Things on week 10:
1. History test
2. Chem prac
3. Phy prac

rarhhhhh...

i think i screwed up SS test. dont think can get very high for it. SS assignment was ok but i thot all the groups did very well. and i dont know how strict Mr. Wong will mark but no regrets there cuz the group put in quite a lot of effort. Then, the English Comprehension was ok in the sense that there was time but vocab was quite screwed up and some questions too. given it's only 20 marks, don't think i can score too well either. sigh.

But, on the bright side, my Math is doing very very well! haha. Math CCT highest mark was Xiong Wei, 29.5. and i got 28.5. yay. highest mark for cct since start of sec 3. Could have gotten full marks had it not been me putting a positive sign instead of a negative sign but im still glad. could have made much more mistakes but fortunately i spoted them during the test and had time to change them. (:

well, it's time for mugging of BIO! RARH! biooooooo... boohoo...

4b'08.

today was ok...

lessons were ok. nothing much to say except that chinese was fun (as always)...

then, we had sec 1 chess tournament which was rather good cuz 7 people participated this time and we've found 2 quite pro people. so yay. and den i realise that there's a new sec 3 scholar who's damn pro too! looks like we have chance this year again! yayyayyay! played with him twice. he is much proer than me luh. i lost by a lot the first time and was losing by a lot the second time until he made a few careless mistakes and i won! haha yay. but anyway, there's loads of talent in him... yay! riweiqi might be saved!

Was talking about CEC reform and i was talking about how RICO was under reform too, together with perc. think it's time for RIweiqi and chess club as a whole to reform as well! there have been complaints that this popular club has bad admin and stuff... well, im gonna solve this together with kiat hong.

ok. mm. bye!

singapore rocks.

YES! YOUTH OLYMPICS! haha. can't wait man... 2010... really wonder how it'll be like. haha. (: so fun! i wanna watch. yeah yeah yeah... (: in 2010, i would be in J2! haha. hmm... think it would be rather nice. think singapore will do a great job organizing it. though we are the first to organize the youth olymics and we have yet to organize any olympics, singapore definitely has the ability to do a good job! YAY! congrats to SINGAPORE!

haha. 3rd post of the day.

Patrick

pics

ok im supposed to be doing work now. but i thought i would just put up some pics which ying xiang sent me the other day. (:


Random pic took on Ying Xiang's mac.


lol me looking dumb. (:


ying xiang looking funny! (: haha.

ying xiang also showed me photos on his com of his home and his family which were all very nice. found a photo album on S.H.E so I decided to ask him to send me. here are some of the pics... it was when S.H.E came over to Singapore to publicise their album i think... in J8.


The big poster with their signatures.


hmm. hebe1.


hebe2.


hebe3.


hebe4.


hebe5.


hebe6. lol. looks like someone is addicted to her. personally like the song she sang with farenheit. 只对你有感觉!


Hmm. S.H.E together.


another one.


and another one......


signature time!


Selina. lol was she looking at the camera?


Hebe looking up. lol.

okok. that's all. just thought i would share with you S.H.E fans out there.

hmm. k that's all. bye!

Patrick

woohoo.

todat was fun! yeah!

1. Chinese
Chinese was once again funny with her jokes... lol. jinghui and erdong got suanned. nvm luh everyone also gets suanned by her now and then. and ying xiang asked an imba question. woah.

2. History
History was once again useful as we finished up with the mindmap. gonna discuss causes of French Revolution soon so it should be yet another useful history lesson! (:

3. Physics
For the first time in the whole year, we went to the lab. lol. i thought that the experiment was quite dumb. but nvm cuz it was slack.

4. Free period
lol. lit cct = free period for us! woohoo!

5. Daqiao mentoring!
I went for my first daqiao mentoring session today and it was totally fun! (: went with jerrald (is it spelt correctly? lol...) and guowei. I heard that there were much less students this time as compared to last year when there were 20 over. So it was easier to control the pupils. haha. but it was nice to spend time with them. they were quite friendly and running around with them was very fun! makes me remember of my primary school times. somehow i didnt remember that i played so much sports after school when i was in primary school. i usually went back home straight. but here, loads of people actually stay back to play basketball. There was in fact an inter-house basketball match going on. woah. haha. they are very cute and lively luh. hmm. cant wait for the next time to go there...

hmm. today i have to finish SS and start on Eng. sigh. mugging shall be for a later time...

Patrick

Wednesday, February 20, 2008

love!

today was a lovely day.

1. ENG
eng was finally productive (lol). we did erp and i guess we were the most productive group. i think the group is still in disarray so i guess i shall use what 1Q ft advised me when i was a PSL - "lead by example". haha. so yeah. today shall do ENGLISH.

2. SS
SS is to be handed in on friday which means much chionging. shall chiong today! i wanna do a good job!

3. CHINESE
chinese was as usual totally funny. we learnt something i dont think we should learn but whatever luh cuz it was damn funny... den shu kiat said something which made me couldnt stop laughing... lol... anyway chinese lessons are becoming damn damn fun!

4. history
Today I had the best history lesson i ever had in 4 years. Even better than Mrs. Neoh's imba lessons. my gosh. the mindmap Mrs. Matthews drew was totally imba. If we could do that for every lesson, i think we all can get 4.0s even if the marking is strict... it was totally fun and interesting... entertaining... much more productive than the video lessons.

5. SP
went to SP. haha. had some fun joking with ying jie, aaron and nigel. joked about chinese CCT and stuff like which pen can fly and i said the chicken crossed the road joke. haha. DAMN FUNNY! lol... and i love the way Mr. Jin Kai writes and talks. the kind of 沉着. i was just lying on the table in front of him looking at him write cuz it made me feel very calm unlike the swift lifestyle of RI where we are always rushing to go somewhere or to do something...

6. Lame thing with Ying Jie
Today went around the school with Ying Jie to do completely LAME stuff which I can't tell. but i can tell u it's even lamer than running around the school and timing how long it takes... >< haha. but it was fun luh...

7. PSGM
went for PSGM late cuz of RE but still talked a lot. really hope that 1Q will have a strong class spirit. (: but anyway, the cheering at the end was nice!

8. CO
prac-ed 青年进行曲 again. haha. i can't believe it. we can actually do it. I'm going to ask Ms. Lim for some time during dazu for me to conduct. I know it seems dumb cuz I'm musically dumb and I'm going to concentrate on percussion but it's the only way I can connect percussion back to the orchestra... hope i'll succeed! (: I think I've succeeded to a certain extent to bring percussion together again. really wonder how i did it. maybe cuz the people in perc are very nice. maybe cuz there's Liwei. Maybe Shu Jian played a big role. Maybe Boyi was right after all. I needn't worry. It was going to be okay after all. (:

9. SHALL CHIONG SS AND ENG NOW!

10. Point Form
I'm writing in point form for blog posts cuz i realise i can write more like that unless the random posts... haha. and anyway it seems more organized. so yay!

11. random 93.3 quote
午后可以很美丽,
也可以很闲逸,
千万不要有任何压力,
要多给自己一点鼓励!
Yes! 93.3 午后万万岁!

12. 期待爱
a completely imba and nice song by JJ lin jun jie.

k. work time. chionging time. xD

Patrick

Tuesday, February 19, 2008

woohoo

i realise i havent been blogging lately...
not sure why, maybe cuz i've been rather sick lately, i always feel tired after school. i sleep much earlier than what i usually did last year. Last year, sleeping at 1130 was nothing much... but now im sleepy at 10 liao... SIAN. that means much less time to revise stuff. But I guess I'm still doing well in school. I have yet to screw anything too badly. so that's well done to me! (:

hmm... let's write about recent times...

1. CO!
Sat went for CO prac. RGdaji was there to return scores and help us out for march 1st concert but in the end they were doing homework cuz we didnt practice the hard songs... >< im really wondering how we can ever perform 1.5 hrs on 1/3 given our current standards... MORE DAZU IS NEEDED! tomorrow is prac again so hmm... problem is rjdaji's using the room for dazu. need to find another place! sighhhh... shall try to suggest to renyan. if we can practice in a squash court, i dont see why we cant practice somewhere else...

skipped weiqi and jiang cuz was rather sick...

2. ERP
sun was doing of ERP project at Kenneth's place. His house is really cool! he just renovated it and there are actually cushioned benches near the windows which i completely love! RARH! and of course, the toilets but nvm... Renovation is indeed tortorous cuz my neighbours are renovating currently and i can't stand the noise... SIGH!

hmm... anyway ERP was ok. Did an average amount of work... not as much as last time cuz maybe this time ying xiang's apple com proved to be a distration... need to ask ying xiang for his pics mannn... lol. but the main idea is there liao bah. i always think that the outline of the project, the logical flow of stuff... Once it's there, the others is just sai kang. (: and of course creativity! (: i want to train my leadership, creativity, innovation and i guess much more... but all these should turn useful in the future...

3. Random
I'm proud to smile! (((: Cui Cheng said the other day that I looked weird performing with my smile and Leonard said that it was hard to imagine a Patrick who didn't smile! YEAH! haha. so happy! hmm... im not sure but i dont smile that often at home or when alone i think... friends just make me smile i guess... haha.

4. CCT
today's chi cct was totally crap. 60 marks in 45 mins. I and many others wrote the summary in 5 mins! >< but i guess i won't do toooo badly cuz everyone faced problems. Even the china scholars were cursing the paper. haha.

5. Assembly
Today's assembly was OIP. Cytam and Eugene presented for ChangChun. haha. it completely brought me back to the "good old times". the REALLY REALLY FUN times we all had together in changchun. i can still remember the walk to the museum, the karoke performance, the lessons we taught... woah. it made me want to go for oip this year. So sad we went last year. This year there's Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Korea and UAE added. haha. rather weird but completely fun. if only i could go for oip every year... if possible, (though i don't think it is), i want to go to taiwan again! or maybe korea! or dubai! haha... AND the air costs this time are subsidized not by $200 but by 50% which means we only pay $500. wth. I WANT TO GO!!!! this reminds me of taiwan. The $300 was sooooo worth it. RARH. ChangChun was a bit more expensive but it was also longer and i experienced SNOW! haha. and much more. haix. just hope i can go!

6. YES! 93.3
Yes 93.3 is a totally rocking radio station. I'm completely addicted to it now. I listen to it while going to school, while coming home, while I'm doing my homework, while I'm blogging right now. haha. The DJs' voice are nice, a lot of songs they play are also my favourites and they introduce many nice songs to me. Then, the jokes they say, even the ads are funny. remember - "学会podcast,你肯定比羊来得强"! or "harm jim beng"! haha. funny!!!! sigh. and the things they say before programmes. like the traffic one is "不管你是一辆飞快的跑车,还是一辆普通的脚踏车,遇到交通阻塞,你就是不能动的车". haha. and a lot more luh... just can't remember. haha. so start listening! here's the web:

http://www.yes933.sg/webradio

woah. <3! wonder when i'll start writing in... haha. haven't tried b4 and don't really know how to.

7. lesson
Physics lessons are starting to become a bit irritating. think i'm not suited to ms. kek's teaching style. but i still get the stuff through some self-studying i guess... luckily it's not for chem cuz that would spell trouble to me. At least my physics is still rather ok. I'm one of the 3 on 10 marks for quiz 1. (: yay!

8. random
I'm drunk. ok. i mean I'm drinking green tea.

9. math
hmm. math is going rather well for me! (: yay! i understand the concepts and my test results are rather good (till now). trigo is getting hard so i guess it will take practice and some revision but that's not going to be anytime now cuz there's no big test for math coming up. the thing coming up is AMC. unfortunately, it's on the day of bio test, which practically means no mugging time for AMC. unlike last year in which i did 2-3 AMC papers, I'm going to go there totally unprepared this time. woah. last year i got 108. wonder how much i'll get this year. haha.

10. others
Bio is going fine. stable. after much mugging that is. but haven't started memorizing yet so i guess i need to start soon. history is totally screwed up for me cuz i haven't read the notes yet. read 1 yesterday, going to continue today. Shall try to complete all bah and start coming up with concept maps. Chem is ok just that i haven't memorised all the anion, cation and gas tests which are tested in week 10 which means more mugging on week 9 weekend. (: ENG and CHI are ok i guess...

11. Piano
Completely love the piano.

12. Chemistry matters
Yes it does. trust me.

13. BYE!

start of the DEATH WEEKS.

woah. it's the start of the DEATH WEEKS again!

starting from last thursday with chem oba which was quite well done except for a careless mistake in maybe copper (2) sulphate and the bonus question...

Last friday was bio.... it was ok luh. quite easy so i guess quite well done also. shldn't fare too bad.

Today was math cct. I think i did quite ok bah. no hope for full marks but hoping for a 26 or 27...

coming up later this week is tomorrow's chi cct and thursday's history test...

Before week 9, which is the REAL DEATH WEEK...

and of course ending with week 10 monday's chem prac (which i guess is quite slack)...

but this means much mugging to be done. haha...

shall go mug history bah... chinese nothing much to do...

学会podcast,你肯定比羊来得强。。。

haha. funny. k bye,.

Patrick

Thursday, February 14, 2008

rarh.

today was chem oba. it was rather simple except i think i misunderstood the bonus question. nevermind though... still hope i can get full marks! (:

many things coming up soon... Projects: ERP, Philo, SS... Tests: Bio prac (tml), Eng, Chi, Math, Hist, Bio CCT, SS test, History test... omg... ><

just wanna take it one by one bah. i think i've mugged quite a lot of bio already (at least i hope so... haha.)... well, anyway, math is the next thing... but sunday is gonna be ERP project so i'll only spend a bit of time to study math cct. I hope i can do well in it just like i've done so well for the previous 2 TAs. After that, there will be chinese cct which will be quite impromptu cuz there's nothing to mug... hist test is coming up too so i guess after math test, i'll need to mug for history. After that, mugging for SS. RARH. and finishing up SS project. haix. it's getting hectic. AND, there's zuowen to do. SIGH.

k nvm. just do well for bio prac tml...

imba.

haven't been blogging for quite a while... Hmm...

chinese new year has just passed, so i guess it's time for some new year resolutions again. lol.

mm... just read Mingjun and Yetao's imba compos. I think the China scholars are damn pro.

hmm.. anyway, for this year... would like to achieve the following...
1. more service
2. ricoperc!
3. results as good as last year

lol.. it's the same stuff luh. anyway, chinese new year was quite fun.

Cultural night was nice as usual, just that it was a bit short cuz we left early. anyway, my composition did get quite a positive feedback. yay! haha. hmm. music totally rocks i guess.

Then, went to friend's house to play on the 2nd day. haha. stayed there for the whole day. playing mahjong, Wii and dogs... lol. fun!

Then, Mrs. Gan's house... erm nothing much there just that the food was nice. haha.

quite a short new year for me. but anyway, went to visit Sam's hostel and studio the other day. Oh my gosh. I just can't wait for university life. The kind of projects they do remind me of the times in Taiwan. It's what I like to call fun hardship. or maybe tiredness that one actually enjoys. I guess that's what friends give to you. that's why i love doing projects. (: hostel life seems rather interesting too. not sure whether i'll get to live in a hostel. might want to try! haha. can get a friend and try? hmm... anyway, architecture seems so fun too! haha i just love subjects which require no mugging at all, more of logic and creativity! YAY! that's why i like drawing.

I like to walk randomly into the popular bookstore and look at stuff with no aims whatsoever. I like to think "what can i do with this thing if i bought it?". That's how I've become a little more creative this past year i think and that's also why my drawing and handwriting is actually getting better unlike in the past where it was totally horrid.

Hmm... i've been asked a few times what i'd like to do in the future. I haven't thought of the main job but i'd love to consider architecture although i know my drawing sucks...

but i'd love to do some things as hobbies!
1. I'd love to continue with weiqi! just love it! i've been told during the chinese new year that i used to beg my family to play board games with me, starting from easy ones like jumping aeroplanes to better ones like xiang4 qi2. haha. no wonder i love weiqi too.
2. I'd love to continue with music as my hobby too! mike's doing street-singing and sam's composing lots of piano songs and musicals. Hmm. hope to be able to be something like them. would really really love to finally pick up guitar. haha. (:
3. I'd love to start drawing and continue going for CO. and maybe writing essays too! guess these are things i enjoy doing...

anyway, many things have been happening recently...

psgms, co performances, co pracs... they've all been enjoyable...

hmm. that's all bah. still think china scholars are pro.

孤单

老师,同学们:
大家好。今天,我要跟大家讨论一个很有趣的话题
-- 孤单。

在座的各位一定经历过孤单的生活。你可能在遇难的时候感到孤单。那时的你会是多么的无助,多么的悲伤,多么的痛苦。你可能在失恋的时候感到孤单。那时的你会是多么的悲哀,多么的辛酸。你可能在噩梦中感到孤单。那时的你会是多么的急躁,多么的郁闷。你甚至还在睡梦中开始拳打脚踢,以为自己正在独自一人跟恶鬼决一死战。是啊!孤单的生活是多么的悲惨!

但是,当我们面对孤单时,我们应该怎么去对付它呢?我们是否应该自暴自弃,放弃一切,在孤单的面前举起白旗表示投降呢?不应该这么做吗?那么我们又是否应该拿起武器,奋勇前进,跟孤单斗争到底呢?其实,我觉得这两种做法都是错误的。

也许你会很好奇,为什么我们不应该跟孤单斗争。是的。我们要坚持到底。我们不能轻易放弃。但是,我觉得跟孤单斗争并不是最佳的选择。因为这只会使我们疲劳,花费我们宝贵的精力。这样一来,我们又怎么好好地生活呢?其实,我本身觉得,应付孤单的最佳方法就是跟孤单做朋友。

跟孤单做朋友?孤单不就是独自一人,没有朋友陪着你的意思吗?怎么可以跟孤单做朋友呢?答案其实很简单。跟孤单做朋友,就是跟自己做朋友。自由不就是我们所追求的吗?当你跟孤单做朋友时,自由就会变成你的朋友。我们不是很喜欢发泄脾气吗?当你跟孤单做朋友时,你就可以任意在孤单上发泄脾气,快乐就会变成你的朋友。其实,还有很多很多。当你跟孤单做朋友时,你会在悲伤中找到舒适,你会在辛酸中找到兴奋,你会在郁闷时找到欢欣。

你会发现,有时人群之中,孤单会给你一 份清净,
你会发现,创作的时候,孤单会给你深沉的思考,
你会发现,争吵之后,孤单会跟你沉着,冷静。

从今天开始跟孤单交朋友吧。你会发觉孤单其实是个很听话,很乖巧的小孩。它从来不会有一句怨言,也从来不会骂你一句。也许,在你下一次遇难,失恋或做噩梦时,孤单会伸出援手,帮助你渡过难关。

The past few days.

The past few days have been ok.

Tuesday was CEC investiture. It was quite fun! haha. KC looked so cool. And anyway, Mark, Jie Liang and I were having a good time among ourselves. Got a few cheers for me (from my class and maybe 1Q) as I went up to get my badge. haha. It was very nice. Everyone was smiling and happy! I even shaked hands with 4A form teacher, Mr. Kwa! haha. YAY! ok lol. Cheered for Mark and KC as well...

Wednesday was CEC training. Quite slack luh. It started with icebreaker games which was quite fun. POLAR BEAR! lol. Then after that, the LT session came along. It was quite ok. Got to draw on paper so quite fun. Then after that, "experienced" CEC were supposed to share their experiences with the others. I was like "ERRRR"... cuz I was one of the "experienced" CEC. haha. ok... cuz i was treasurer second year running... >< ok. anyway, it went on quite well. Trained my public speaking skills and also thinking on the spot. haha. Used the normal technique of sitting in a circle and going round for comments. ok so after that, went to buy party stuff... den came back to prac with tanbo before going to RJCO room to grab scores and go home.

Thursday was the class party (previous post) and SMP meeting. SMP was quite dumb luh. Went there just to discuss the dates and some key words for research. Once again, I'm at a lost with what's happening. I think I just completely suck at bio. HAIX. All the recombinant protein stuff... HAIX. why can't it just be simple. like equations. boohoo... but anyway, doing project in SP which is humongous. lol. the staff rooms are cool too! Hope to take a photo next time.

Friday was busy day. First up, yan jiang! haha. thought I did rather well for something I prepared late at night the day before. I just love my yan jiang! woohoo! went halfway for PE before going to prepare for arts @ the atrium. That was rather screwed up... HAIX. nvm. shan't elaborate. will only make me sad. Hope CNY one will be better. Much better. After school, went to move CO instruments to hall. so dumb. so many people but so little people bother to move. haix. in the end i think danny and i moved the most. We even had to move the xylophone up and down 4 flights of stairs to avoid the rain. Took 20 min to move everything up the flight of stairs from GE room and made 3 trips to and fro hall to carry instruments there... AND, the worst thing was, in the end, we only practiced once through, before having to clear the stage again... ZZZ... ><>< After we finally finished, went off to chess club merit CCA trail. OH MY! haha. so lucky! just when i reached, 1Q reached the chess club section! YAY! haha. met my class again and had some fun with them. They were all wondering why i was so wet... haha. got thrashed by Zhi Xuan in chinese chess. LOL. TYCO! haha. After that, just helped up a bit with chess club and here I'm back at home.

ok. that's all for the week. BYE!

Patrick

class party 1 '08.

Class party 1 of 2008 has ended for 4B and it was totally FUN. haha. It was the largest-scale class party so far so good job to Jie Liang, Mark and of course me who generated this brilliant idea. (:

So preparation was done on Wed after CEC training (will talk about that later)... Mark, Jie Liang and I went off to NTUC to buy stuff and cakes... AND OF COURSE... the cute pooh bear (again. haha im sorry kenneth...)

So anyway, shall quickly move on to the actual thing. A lot of things were rather impromptu unlike the China people when we were there. But that somehow added to the fun cuz it made the event much more informal. ok. shall move on quickly to the pictures.


The whiteboard after CLE lesson on tuesday... FILLED with all our comments!


THE FOOD!


and of course THE PEOPLE!


AND OUR AUSTRALIAN FRIENDS!


AND OUR EMCEES - Jie Liang and Tony!
