Chem prac...

decided to keep spending a few minutes a day updating my blog during the course of this O levels, so that when i'm older, and if this blog is still around, i can read through all this and think "how the hell did u get that wrong you moron!!!!" :p anywayz about chem prac, quite good lah, hoping that i can get above 30 marks. overall it was easier than the prelim, except for the extension question. so here is what i put down for my answers and the correct answers provided from mrs TCP...

solid t: aluminium...WRONG!!! (zinc carbonate)

titration:
19.8, 0.101 (both EXACTLY CORRECT!!!! WOOHOO!!!)

3 ions present:
sulphate
iron (II)
ammonium
(ALL CORRECT AGAIN!! YEAH!!!)

extension question:
so wrong until cannot be more wrong.

so altogether i've lost 5 marks already, so still got 5 marks leeway for my target of 30.

on the way back home, was at the jelita busstop waiting for the bus. then this girl at the busstop shouted to her friend about 5 metres away, "HURRY UP YOU BIMBO!!" then i was like "wtf??!?!?!" turned away as i made tt cringed face. then later when the bus came, she said "we can take this bus bimbo".....then i felt nothing :p like she actually SHOUTED it out loh, with the hand signals and all. oh well.......

monday got E maths 1, should be ok, unless i'm so careless until i lose 8 marks like i did in my prelims :( most worried about tuesday. english then SS, bloody killer. will have to write 3 essays, and dunno how many more words. will bring a few pens on tuesday. actually more worried about how my arm's gonna feel, anybody has any tips on how to conquer tensed up arms quickly and effectively, pls write in my tagboard.....till next time, cheers.

3 more weeks to freedom....

exactly 3 weeks from now, our Os will be OVER!!!! oh well, i guess we should all work hard, since we are the YOUTH OF THE NATION!!! :P anyways i must say the physics prac was not as bad as i expected, only that heat screwed me. but anywayz, tomorrow chem prac, QA and titration HERE I COME!!! i've been telling myself more and more often nowadays to hang in there. 3 weeks of hell is a step towards many years of enjoyment. so to all sec 4s, hang in there, it will be over before you know it, and to all SJI ppl, there will be girls sitting next to you in class faster than i can say "what the hell!?!?"

i've already kinda planned out my end-of-year holidays, sadly...
24 Nov: PAE Briefing
24 - 26 Nov: NCO training camp
28 Nov: Graduation dinner
1 - 16 Dec: CI Course (tt's if i get accepted, so far no news)
Mon, Wed, Fri: Campcraft competition training

things to plan:
HPPS P6 reunion
2E8 reunion @ TWK's house (any volunteers to help for this one?)
badminton games with my friends

well, what an interesting "holiday" i have. anywayz, next year SJI NPCC will have 4 officers. The 1st time since i dunno when, coz we've had 2 officers since i was in sec 1!! Lee Lip Ming is coming back (JOY TO THE WORLD!!!), and there will be this new guy from dunno where. i wonder how well GSM and LLM will get along. that should be interesting to see. next year is azhar's last year. will miss all his long funny speeches, the ones we dread at that moment of time, but when we think back it all seems rather funny. Seems like there are alot of changes in NP after we'll left. GSM spending quite a large sum of money on 7 letters (wtf!?!?!), and even the new MCM are beginning to understand how it feels to work with him. hopefully it will all be better when LLM returns, but i have a feeling that even LLM will feel quite weird with a new HO and all. suddenly thinking of the reasons why i'm becoming a CI again.....rethinking the pros and cons (although this isn't exactly the best time).

oh well, will keep this one short, tomorrow chem prac last shift (ARRGGHHH!!) anyone sabos me you're gonna be able to see your own body from the back without the help of a mirror!!! (if you know what i mean) ok people, 3 weeks more. endure, ren, tahan, SUCK IT UP PEOPLE!!! Cheers.

even more visits...

morning went to NJ with tze (refuses to allow me to write pang) and zun chen. we were 1st greeted by ppl from canoeing, track and field and the interact club (anyone knows wat this is all abt please enlighten me). then walk walk, hell lot of steps :p, but not so bad lah. quite a lively place, just that the grey doors make it look a wee bit duller, but it's ok all the same. ran into glenn and kah wee (looking short amongst his friends). glenn was ahem ahem....SLACKING, damn school council. refused to give me the pack, in the end his council friend gave it to me, damn bugger. but at least he showed me the way to the gym lah. THX GLENN!!! not as bad as kah wee, who was standing in a TALL corner just yakking away with his friends, tt's even worse than glenn!!! saw xue hui and calvin TOO. xue hui with his bball, and calvin was "teaching" this girl how to shoot the air rifle, he seemed very content i must say :p walked around the school for about one hour. the library there, quite sad lah. after that went SA, oh well the building is quite unkept, since they will be moving soon as well. got green moss growing everywhere :p met alot more ppl there. met some primary school friends, and some SJI ppl as well. anywayz they had this quite well coordinated mass dance on the track, quite nice to see lah. but the study environment there isn't too good. their library isn't that great either, although i must say slightly better than NJ. but i wouldn't really mind going to SA, only the state of the buildings make it seem like quite a sad place, moss everywhere. somehow that place also reminded me of SJI, with trees all around (there are a hell lot of trees!!!)

Final conclusion 1: SJI has the biggest canteen in the whole of Singapore
Final conclusion 2: SJI has the biggest library in the whole of Singapore (amongst schools only lah of course)
Final conclusion 3: i don't think i would want to go to HC or RJ even if i had the choice, coz at HC MUST take 4 A level subs., and the environment at RJ is just to stressful and saddening.

But oh well, 1st 3 months still CJC for me, which didn't have open house. Some theories i've thought up are
1.: they know that they've got so many affiliated secondary schools, (more than 10) that they don't need to have an open house, and people will still go there!!
2. all the people rejected from the top few JCs will end up there anyway... :p

after all the open houses, went to chinatown pt for chem tuition. arrived there 45 mins early loh, coz the last time i took the MRT i was late, but this time i'm SO DAMN EARLY!!! so i just sat on a step, leant forward, and took a nap. slept for 15 mins, then 10 mins :p felt a bit better after that lah. reached home at about 6.15, tired..........wanna zzzzzzzzzzz, but then also cannot zzzzzzzz, coz must do some english and SS. must bring either my SS or history bk to church tomorrow to study before it starts!!!

exactly 9 days to the 3rd of Nevember, the beginning of our written papers...........damn fast, damn freaking fast, before we know it it will all be over, so hang in there people, and remember that we reap what we sow, so just mug damn hard for one last week, and we can all feel satisfied at the end of it that we've tried our best, and we can enjoy our short break. Cheers!!

visitation of houses that were open ;)...

today went to RJ and HC open house with pang, ian and zun chen. met at jelita, then walked in, and realised that poor ian only had 10 cents on him :p anyway RJ, quite saddening, i found the area quite cramped, and very pressurising, makes one feel kind of claustrophobic. i guess it was only better because of the band playing and all the people walking around, but i imagined the place without so many people, and it would seem really really stressful. HC was definitely better than RJ. in terms of amout of items planned, the the quality of things set up. the whole ambience of the place was also much much better. the people there seemed more cheerful and enthusiastic as compared to the RJ ppl. oh well, i don't really intend to go to either of them anywayz, but just went to see what the inside of the school was like, and some facilities that the school has. come to the conclusion that the SJI canteen is one of the biggest in all the schools in singapore, including JCs. i don't know about polytechnics though, but will seek to solidify this finding when i go to NJ and SA this saturday.

went out for dinner with visiting relatives from hong kong. had nice prawn tofu, minced meat, sliced fish, mee sua, and a whole load of other nice nice stuff. the restaurant was behind the raffles hotel. it was in one of those refurbished shophouses, like those in chinatown, real nice feel to it all. my uncle (who was also taught by tang wing kee!!!) commented that i really look like half my mum and half my dad. if you've noticed, i've got a double eye-lid on my left eye, and a single eye-lid on my right. double is from my dad, and singleis from my mum. my nose looks like my dad's, my jaw and ears look like my mum's. and my hair is also wavy, which is from my mum. but my eyes-lids, quite funny lah. one eye from each parent :p

realised that i haven't really been able to get down to working as hard as i did before the prelims. like no matter how hard i try to work, my mind just drifts, and the prospect of working just disappears, as my mind shuts down :( oh well, shall TRY my best to do some chemistry now, or maybe maths, haiz can't decide, as both need alot of work, dang it. oh well, hope all u ppl reading me blog have better luck at studying than i've been having. Cheers.

no longer a water boy...

today was......unproductive (damn it!!!) morning went school for history and maths. what matthews went through is everything that i studied before the prelims loh, and she didn't go through anything that i haven't studied yet. bloody hell, she said she was going to go through China, then in the end did switzerland and WWI. basket, almost fell asleep in my place, if not for xin sitting next to me. thanx xin. maths was...........interesting i shall say :p. did half of november 2002 a maths paper 2. did at a super duper slow pace man, most of the time was tokking cock with all the ppl arnd me. haiz, hardly did any maths, wasted my time in school, except that i saw a few certain people quite a few times lah *wink wink*

after tt arnd 12, stoned in the canteen, slowly eating lunch, yakked with xin, raoz, brenz, nicky and friends for a while. when the 1.40 bell rang went to library to read papers. looks like bush has too many personnel, over 100 secret service agents loh!!! then on the way to school, saw police motorcycles a distance apart from each other, on the road adjoining to the PIE, after tt yue hong told me that there were policemen on the overhead bridge as well, the one outside tanglin. well i guess it's necessary, since he's claimed to be the "most powerful man on earth", but i don't know how true that statement is lah, since Saddam and Osama seem quite powerful people as well. But i ain't gonna weigh their "power", got much better things to do :p

went to pang's house. tried to study, managed to revise one chapter of history (sucks...so damn slow). ian ended up eating........as usual. then went for a swim. haven't swam for 1 year already, and i felt damn tired after swimming only a short distance loh. shit man, no longer a water boy anymore. can't even hold my breath and swim for 25 metres...HOW HOW HOW!?!?! must swim lots lots more after exams. but it was a good feeling to get underwater again. being able to exercise without feeling the sweat. the only problem was tt the water made my eyes so damn dry after that, they were all red at the end, like bloodshot. was damn painful.....wash and wash, until now still a wee bit red. :(

during dinner was watching casper on HBO, a very nice movie. a great movie about friendship, love, and just fitting in. and besides christina ricci quite cute in this movie :) and casper looks better as a ghost than as a boy i must say, sadly. anywayz i doubt you can still find the VCD out there, much less the DVD, but if you've got HBO, i suggest you watch this movie, even if it might be labeled as kiddish.

tomorrow going to RJ open house with ian and pang, just for fun, and to give my sister a "report" on what's going on in her old school. saturday going SA, NJ and HC with pang. for me NJ and HC is for fun also lah, since i don't wanna go there, just wanna see what it's like to be in these "top" JCs.

Finally changed my music, to something a weeee bit slower than linkin park, but equally as nice. pics are all up too, almost everything that i took during the past few weeks. chose not to put some up for certain reasons that anyone other than me does not need to know. Cheers people, and keep mugging, it will all be over soon!!!
