Its about time to talk about my statements? Eh? :)

1. I am not a PRC.
No I am not a PRC, at least of now. PRC = People's Republic of China. Taiwan = Republic of China. :) Whatever..

2. I was from school band when I am in primary school.
Yes I am from school band when I am in Taiwan. I know how to play the taiwan's national anthem on the snare drum, but I have forgotten them now :) also, dont compare the skills then and now, it has been 7 years since then..

3. I spend more time watching TV than using computers.
This is also true. I would rather spend time using computer than watching TV. Probably because my computer isn't anywhere near my TV? That is just an excuse :P

4. The first time I cry watching a movie is when I am in secondary 2.
Erm.. ya, that is when I watch the movie entitled "Brotherhood" with my friend in sec 2 :)

5. I got my myopia because I learn mental sum (xin suan) when I am in K2.
That is what my mother told me :) i think this is true too, especially when the numbers are sooo tiny..

6. I have colour deficiency.
True, how unfortunate (or fortunate?)

7. I have online friends from Finland, Belgium, New York, Australia, Canada and we are still in contact with each other.
Yes, because I play Utopia, I get to know friends from many other countries who happens to be playing together. I am talking to one of them right now, he is from US.

8. I pon my CCA when I am in secondary 3 and 4, the head of CCA teacher in charge warned that I will be expelled if I continue to skip CCA.
Unfortunately, I did not choose a CCA that I really like in Secondary school. As a result, I don't like to attend the sessions, and in sec 2 is when I started playing computer games with my friends, so I started skipping CCA to play and I don't even go starting in mid Sec 3. But I have never been warned to be expelled, just leaving a bad record. Yeah, so this is false :)

9. My BMI is 18.2Yes... True...

10. I spend S$35 talking to my friend in Melbourne (using the hotel phone for 10minutes) during my Perth trip last year.
This is true :) Long story, just a friend from melbourne and I went perth trip last year. Crapped on the phone for abt 20-30 minutes and ya, that is the price I pay. I didn't not tell him, though :)

11. My ambition maybe is to be a teacher.
Why not? :)

12. I got electricuted once when I was young because I slot the house key into the power point.
Embarrassing past, where I was still young and innocent.

13. I know how to play mahjong when I am primary 1.
Nope, I learn how to play in Primary 6. I learn by watching my parents and aunties uncles play.

14. I hate insects.Yes I hate insects, bees, ants, beetles, blah blah. Yucks

15. I love playing nice musics.
If not, I won't be in band now :)

16. I never pass my english till I come secondary school.
My English not that bad la! I got A for PSLE :) so this is false! but i got E for promos ;(

17. My worst subject is history.
Don't know how many times i flung history...

18. I spend my entire june holidays in secondary 2 to play games to catch up with my friends.
Yes, I was once so no-life too.

19. I have been taking the same bus to school ever since I come singapore to study.
True.. the very old 186 bus.. Have been accompanying it for 8 years, even though I moved from Farrer Road to Tiong Bahru

20. I am anti-social.
What do you think? :D

Had another packed schedule yesterday..

First of all, I should say that I am damn unlucky to be going out yesterday, to fix my com. Apparently, yesterday is Deepavali, so obviously, most shops are closed. Wasted money and time to travel all the way to Ang Mo Kio Techplace 1 only to realise that yesterday is deepavali.
I will never forget when is deepavali.

Then had to come back, have lunch and travelled all the way to yishun to do PW OP. Ya, it is PW again. We are supposed to hand in on monday, so what ya expect? Another weekend wasted, haven gone out for a long time.. feeling sian and crappy. At least, I should count myself fortunate that I have a good PW mates. I am able to get along quite well, crapped and played along the way. Didn't get too many major digression, but it still took us 5hrs to get 3/4 of the slides done. I have to leave early to spare my ears from somemore nagging.. reached home at almost 10pm, and the rest finished it abt abt 930pm too, to finish up the content of the OP. I wonder how we can finish the slides, afterall, there are 80 slides in total. On average, 15 seconds per slide. I don't think we can finish it. We already overshot by abt 15minutes during the first presentation.. They are coming over to my house this time to rehearse for OP and do some final touch-ups.

There goes this weekend..

Wondering where exactly vivo city is, has been a hot topic among everyone recently. I only know there is the opening of new GV cinema together with some shopping centre. Yes, I spend more time on my computer than watching TV. That is why I got so irritated when I realised yesterday is a public holiday and I have to continue sharing computer with my brother for a few days more before I can find the time to fix my computer again. Most probably gonna fix it on monday.. school ends at 10am and sectionals probably at 2 or 3pm. So i can use the time to fix my computer and get back to school in time for CCA. Have been ponning CCA for sec 3 and sec 4, fortunately I didn't not really get a good scolding from the head of CCA, just the CCA teacher-in-charge. So I wasn't even thinking of being expelled from the school by the teacher :)
I have already revealed the answers of 2 statements in the tag. You should spot it easily =)

Next tuesday is again another public holiday, definitely going out that time, didn't go out with yq for ages already. And athena fac outing/class outing. But I seriouly cannot make in on the 27th. Coz I am leaving on that day for taiwan. Gonna be the last time going back.. at least until I finish NS here, or if I go overseas. It sucks to make major choices.. Then again, something that I have read:

"You will never experience the feeling of going home, if you don't even step out of your house."

Blogger is still down, have to wait somemore to get this post published..
-11am

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

9pm now, back online, finished OP at abt 6pm today, did some in depth analysis of some of the tag i sent out a couple of days ago with terence. haha, like playing mastermind like that. :P

Now I have to write scripts for OP, presenting tomorrow again.. and there is QnA tomorrow. Feel like a real OP now.. scary..

Time to start work.. before its 10pm. :)

Everyday has been pw and pw and pw. Gonna get tired of it soon.. luckily its just a few more weeks and we will be done with this A level subject.

btw, if you wanna know the answers to the tag, u have to ask me online =)

The national anthemn for this whole week is gonna be weird.. Our dear SL Ai Wen sprang her left wrist.. now nobody plays snare for the morning assemblies.had wanted to learn to play already, coz was thinking after promos.. now we just have to sing with the national anthemn without the snare drum =)

oh crap, there is school song tomorrow...

haven really start filing my stuffs, still lying all over the place.. and messy. better start cleaning up before mother comes nagging again..

oh ya, just received the thailand trip iternary.. not bad.. just that because of some events.. we can't go to some of the planned activities. think all that would become shopping.. and more shopping.. heh, sharing the same room as damien.. ya, fortunately i know him better in band.. not someone whom I am not close with. Yeah, you can say I am slow at knowing others more.. I have only really talked to a few band people.. the rest is either just saying hi or none at all.. but then, I am still looking forward to this trip, yeah! haha, never been to thailand before mah..

getting all hazy again.. and my nose is starting to itch.. HACHOO!

Past few days have been really tiring, partly due to today's open house, and also PW.. Finally friday is here and I can rest my souls for tonight.. eventually..

It was open house today, I would say I have more fun getting to know about some more band people today.. went out together with some of the band mates, especially those from the saxes, only me and yi xi is the extras. crapped, laughed, and get to know more about them. It is fun, just need to take the first step. then went shopping in cold storage, went back to school to perform. I would say the first performance is really.. very noob, haha, keep playing wrong note, its like the score keep flats and natural.. blah, forgetting when and where to hit.

After the first performance, which is like 12noon, need to wait 3 more hrs for the next one. Damn sian, and no one is gonna eat (duh) so slacked in band room, crapped, then went around with audrey, yanzhi, xinwei and jia wei. really wasted the time until 3pm, then our turn again. this time, I dont even get the chance to be screwed because i can't find the xylo which I am suppose to play. So, in the end, played everything on the bells and it sounded really very funny. but, who cares, we are done after finish playing the songs and kept instruments, slacked somemore in band room, danced the mass dance with xinwei thanks to her pulling and dragging (jun quan tio too!). and that is roughly how this day goes.

Oh ya, met jovia, aka darklirii in maple. Doesn't really talked a lot, its the first time i see her anyway.

though today's performance isn't really up to my expectation because of too much fumbling and stumbling. But thinking that I onyl practise on tuesday and wednesday, I should not complain anymore about it. Practise makes perfect, it took me very long to get all the flats and naturals right.. and with some help along the way too.

Oh ya, all the best to the percussion seniors! Woei Xi our dearest section leader, Chuan Yuan for being always there to help me, Qi Kui for being the clown of the section (along with CY) and Li Wen the most friendly seniors. All the best for your A levels!

Though I am pretty sure they dont read my blog..

I wanna sleep till I wake naturally tomorrow.. too tired, no energy to do PW and still need to pia OP, which will be on tuesday. this pw thinggie is worse than MRP.. just because it is an A level subject, no choice but to do well, unlike promos...

Strive for the best, don't give up!

It is really hazy these few days. My eyes is starting to feel very dry.. and the air really smells like something is burning. This smells reminds me of times when I go Indonesia. They have exactly the same smell when I alight from the plane. I can really see some kind of haze under the street lamp, and I think today is the worst. Buildings afar cannot be seen as clearly as usual..

I hope it rains.

Athena rocks! Our class table tennis people rock more! wahaha, we got into the finals, though we did not win, but we bring glory to our own faculty! haha, feel bad for did not do anything big, espescially today's indoor rowing. Kind of a disaster for me because I feel falling off the chair. -_- butt so small still can fall off. Anyway, athena got a lot of wins in FoS so we shall thrash wat the apollo people say about winning FoS and we will prove that we will be the ultimate winner! =D

Now with the end of FoS, more PW coming up, stressful PW.. and it clashes with my schedule going back taiwan so I have no choice but to change the schedule from 10th Nov to 7th or 8th Nov. Everything should be settled now, but I only feel a little sorry to my family members..

Think I will go and sleep now.. really tired, gotta pia PW tml..

Went to school today to play vball, unexpected right?

My skills is never there but I can begin to see the fun side of it. I am too concerned with the level of skills that I forgot to have fun. Reminds me of the old days..

played with jia wei yan min and yan zhi today. We played with some random soccer people.. then after which some more people joined in such as algernon zhen wei and min kai. It was fun =) hehe, felt more at ease with zhen wei around, especially on my team :P

The vballers are playing tomorrow after mock chem spa. Think I better leave the pros there and not being extra =)

So long never really exercise. Tired and starting to feel the ache.. damn.. better start jogging with some of the people in the class. need to train for next year's fitness test..

Trying to muster the mood to do EoM. Apparently nothing is coming out. It just feel as though everything has ended and I just feel like slacking the whole day today.

Tomorrow has mock chem spa, better find my notes and read them before I sleep.

Can't wait for end of school, end of PW. But everything has a purpose. But don't just look forward to the end, try to enjoy the process. If you can't run away from it, then make yourself feel the best out of it. (If you are understand what I am talking about..)

Off to some more slacking and better start work soon.

As expected, today's maths paper is really a disater. I am really disappointed and upset when I have to skip questions after questions. Thinking so hard then finally get do one question.

3 hours seem not enough still..

Afterall, maths is done, now we are left with the mock chem spa skill A and the stupid PW.

Our PW needs some serious work done.

Finishing the exams really makes me a little aimless now. In fact, there is aim, but I am still trying to avoid it. I have decided to do my EoM today but I guess I ended up blogging here.

Oh ya, after the maths papers, some physics people went yuekai's house. It was actually meant for their own pw group as they wanna discuss their PW. In the end, junquan's group went too, leaving me, audrey and jiawei isolated from our pw groups.

We first ate at the market near the shell station at the bukit timah plaza there. Then we had some trouble guiding peng le from junquan's pw group to where we are. she went like don't know where and has to take taxi back to school in the end. Displacement = 0

so we went to yuekai's house, crapped a while before starting to do work. And almost everyone get to play the piano at yuekai's house. Most of them are really pro! haha, reminds me of my cousin.. hehe, but I really regret not continuing my piano lessons last time. I am really tempted to play my favourite songs on piano, but I threw back all my theories and sightreadings to the teachers already. I don't mind taking it again, but I won't have the time and commitment to do it. Furthermore, I don't have a piano at home. Its quite a waste not to learn a musical instrument.. especially piano. I think it is a good way to relieve stress and concentrate better..

then come the really boring part. Since I did not bring anything to do, i can only stone and watch others doing their pw.. very sian till we started celebrating ben's belated bday. lol, din know we are going to bon him and we gathered everyone in yuekai's room and we start boning ben. He is like to poor thing.. hehe, and all the girls are like just stand in one corner and laugh, and peep. Sad to say that ben has his body filled with love from xinwei, audrey, and 6C. Hehe, ya and we brought the cake out, xinwei sepecially pick that for ben (awww). so we finished the cake =) nice and mango-ish. Slacked around somemore before leaving yuekai's house with junquan at around 6+

Going to school to play ball tml, hopefully I can perform beyond my standard on thursday. =)

I think I am being too naive leaving maths to the weekend to study.

I want to die already, can't even finish one whole question, and somemore the answer I got after trying so hard is wrong.

I hate integration.

Differentiation should die also.

I haven even touch sequence and series + binomial, I lost like all of my confidence already.

Last paper to go, but its gonna be the longest paper, I don't want to sit for 3hrs and stare at the paper...

After maths paper, there is still EoM, WR. It just wont end till the end of the school term.

I am really looking forward to the chalet now, even though some of the people cannot make it, but it will definitely be a whole lot more fun than staring at the number and you don't know what to do.

I am looking forward to the thailand trip too, I can get to know the rest of the band mates better too.

Everything would be so much more fun than studying stuffs I have lost interest in.

Maybe I will regain my interest once I undertand them, but not now. It is really stupid to leave maths all to this weekend.

I got the worst for maths among the block test, I hope it doesn't repeat again for promos, though I am quite sure Econs or Physics would be equally bad. but judging by the way I practise now, there is a serious problem.

I can find no help from teacher.

Asking peers over the phone can be time consuming, I don't wanna waste their time.

I am all alone now.

I have to hope that I somehow got the inspiration on monday and do well on the day itself. Just like physics.

I need more than luck, I need time to consult the teacher.

Now I regret not doing my tutorials properly, slacking in lessons.

Just because I did well for maths for the past few years doesn't mean it will stay this way for the entire life.

Efforts that you put in is proportional to the results, a slacker should never achieve anything.

The world is fair, you can never be good in everything. There ought to be something that you lack, but people view others superficially and thought they have everything.

Who knows one has a crying heart? One can appear as if everything is fine, but he sacrfice some other things in exchange for this.

Lets not talk about this controversial issue of fairness and go back to the reality.

10hrs more to bed time. Sleep well tonight, then tomorrow I can think properly. Getting mental block during maths, that is the last thing I need.
