I am so tired out this week! D: My back and legs are aching now. Cos be due to the run for PE lesson on Thursday, cos too long never exercise le!
Mon & Tues! Chinese New Year! But never go anywhere this year. My parents' friends came to my house, then everyday eat, watch tv, use com, sleep. Quite standard arh. No wonder I am gaining so so much weight these few days (or weeks). Cos there are really a lot of shows to watch on tv! Hahas. Intended to do some revision in the end never. X.X
Wed! Returned to school! =( Cos it means homework and lessons! Then after school got CCA. =.= Jingyi and I went to take attandance then went away. Sort of camped at canteen to ask her some Chem questions after the usual people from 204 left. 402 started metals already! O.O Super fast! Also talked about any random things we can thought of at the point. Then Xian Zheng came, and started to car-jiao me. Brrr. But after a while he was okay already. Hahas. Maybe because he was too high after playing soccer or what so ever. Around 1630 I guess, Jingyi sort of received a call or sms from Zhi Wei and we rushed up to Level 3. So till now it is unclear what my attandence for that day. =.= Then went home. Tired.
Thurs! CEP turned to PE lesson. Why? Cos Mr Liu says that the topic for this week is "How to be a good sportsman", and thus he let us have free-play. Played volley with Kunwei, Lynn and Eddy. And the ball is super hard can. Hit till my hands was rather red after that. Assembly was brought forward to the slot before recess. There was this performance by some group from Nanjing. I think the show was great! :D Very entertaining! :D Started Standard Deviation for Maths, then continued on heat capacity for Physics. And after lunch was English. I was having a very bad headache then. Arh. Then feeling very very dizzy, almost falling asleep during lesson time. and after school still got CCA. Sianz. =.= Some rather boring mobile flash. Dont understand a single thing. =(
Today! Mr Teoh returned AMaths Level Test today. Didnt really score very well. =( And I am sad because of this. Cos I feel that I did not really master my sec 3 concepts well. Must practice more!! And randomly I think today's Chinese lesson was rather interesting! I dont know why. Hahas. But then need to memorise this paragragh from the topic. Then during Bio Ms Chng was telling us that L1R5 = 2 cannot get into Hwa Chong JC for 2008! Is like super scary! Must get 0 points! O.O Wanted to leave school at 3pm, then Weijia pei her do some Maths, and then I say I will leave at 4pm. In the end JJ, Daniel, Sinyi, Xiuhuan came along, then JJ suggested playing games using his new whiteboard. Then played all the way till 6.30pm!!! After Yeeling Weiqi Hadley Chinchye Eunice released from their CCA. And when we wanted to leave, then it began to rain!!! Sianz. Boarded 184 with Xiuhuan and Chinchye. And you know what? I fell on the bus twice!! It was super malu! D: Reached home around 7.30? Just went to do the career survey on PGI. It states that I can consider to be a Kindergarden Principal or Lawyer! Hahas.
Very tired these few days!! And next week got 4 tests! Biology on Monday, SS on Thurday, Chinese and Chemistry on Friday! Also haven start studying! And there are a lot of homework this weekend! Then next Thurday got the presentation at NUS! Cos maybe taking the test after school? Have yet to tell Mrs Sim about that.
Just one thing to mention before I end this post.
I completed my RE5 over the past week! I am still doing my REs and MEs. Are you? :D

Sunday, January 25, 2009 @ 7:35:00 PM
I am counting down to 8pm! Hahas! To watch the live broadcast of the Chinese New Year programme on CCTV-4! :D Just had my reunion dinner with my family! Had steamboat and I am super super full now! Hahas. =) Dont know why these few days very zi high. Hahas. :D Its time to celebrate! :D
Saturday, January 24, 2009 @ 11:54:00 AM
Arh!!! I just received the email from NUS. My presentation date for the project is on
Thurs, 5 Feb 2009. The bad news is that I have to miss lessons, and somemore during the SS period, where there is a class test!! Arh. Presentation is from 10am to 1030am, but have to arrive 30 minutes earlier. Meaning I would miss CEP, SS, Physics and recess!
I dont want!
I want my lessons and tests! First time I want a test instead of leaving school! :D Cos O level this year then must not miss lessons and miss tests! Arh! I dont know what now! Cos the presentation very important, must go too! Representing the school leh! Arh! My lessons! =(
This week passed by le! Yesterday was the school's Chinese New Year celebration. I think the only part that I liked was the teachers singing! MR Keuw, Mr Benny Ng, Mr Pang and Ms Lim PS went on stage to sing! Hahas.
I would be rather busy this CNY holidays! Why? Cos got quite a number of homework to complete! MS Chng also mentioned before that CNY for Sec 4s are like this - half play half study! Okay, and my CNY wish : O level L1R5<8! I will try my best to work towards it! Yes! I will! (Determined)
Tuesday, January 20, 2009 @ 5:41:00 PM
Right. Tomorrow is the Bio Revision Test and I have only started a bit in revising. Kunwei was like saying since it is a revision test, there is no need to study cos it is to test your memory. Wow. Maybe that applies for Kunwei only.
Chinese New Year is on Monday! Hahas. Less than one week. I really anticipate to that, cos can finally take a break (hopefully) from studies. But then after the CNY holidays would be class tests and common tests!!! And the topics for Common Test 1 for AMaths and EMaths are out, which is as follows:-
AMATHSChpt 6: Bionomal TheoremChpt 11: Trigo FunctionsChpt 12: Simple Trigo Identities and EquationsChpt 13: Further Trigo IdentitiesEMATHSS3 Chpt 11: Quartiles and PercentilesS4 Chpt 5: Maths in Practical SituationsHanded up the report for JTDP yesterday. Finally it is done! =) After six months? Hahas. Walked to NUS with Yixie, and suddenly found ourselves sort of lost? Cos we cant find the correct office to hand in our reports. Then began searching high and low, and finally found it. Then took bus home. Nothing much happened today. Just lessons as per normal.
Tests and exams are making their way to my life! Found myself having a lot of tests recently and soon after CNY. Suddenly dont feel like touching any books. Which cannot be done. Haiz.

OC WAS GREAT!!! :D:D:D
Yes! OC 2009 was great! :D Really enjoyed myself a lot a lot to the power of n. Hahas. The day started (Friday) with the usual flag raising ceremony, with the sec 3 and 4 councillors taking the lead in singing the national athem and school song. And then after that was the opening ceremony in the hall! Before Dr Foo began to speak, there was some spare time. Amanda, Weiqi, Timothy and I began to get to camp spirit by playing the "I had peace by the river". After the opening ceremony, the station masters went to their respective places to set up the station. I was in station 9 with some other star 3 leaders! And the name of my station was called ANIMALS' TALK!
And the sec 1s began the station games around 10am. Before lunch the class was slightly slow, so still got some time to dili-dali here and there. Basically shouting and scream here and their. The first few classes that came to my station was still okay. :D I think my station was quite cool! =) Hahas. Sec 1s would be blindfolded and given one ice-cream stick of a colour. They would also be told what animal they would be. After entering the room, they are to sit down on the floor to listen to the instructions given. There are 5 animals, namely goat, monkey, lion, snake and one more which I cant remember at this moment. They would have to make noises of these animals and find their mates in 5 minutes. At the same time, station masters would make other noises or tap at them to distrate their attention. The scores are calulated based on the number of correct mates found in each animal. However, if they are caught talking, canibels (station masters) would catch them and be isolated for 15 seconds. :D
After lunch, the classes was quite high! And I was high too! :D Shout till the last two classes at my station have to talk at my normal voice, cos sore throat le. Hahas. But I dont mind! =) Then went to met Mrs Chiang at around 3pm to collect the laptop and robot. Worked on it till 4+, then went to the hall for OC dance. Okay, I haven learn the dance yet. Then after the dance was the prepration for tribel runway. Then Sinyi, Weiqi and me no class mah, then we go one corner and started 自--highing. Hahas. :D Sang all the campfire songs and cheers that we can think of. We even thought of the sleeping cheer! And it goes like this:
Are you sleeping?
VERY SLEPPY!
困困。
很很。
困很。
很困。
ji-ger-la-ka-pi-ya-pi-ya ji-ger-la-ka-pi-ya-pi-ya
睡!
And it comes with actions too! =) Hahas. :D:D:D We also played Who You Love. In the end lost to Kunwei for all 6 times that I play with him. =(
After dinner was Orientation Night! This year's Orientation Night, aka campfire, is not as nice as past few years. So a bit sian diao. Then after that I went home! Cos today got presentation at NUS! After reaching home began to work on the robot again till 12+am. And drank like 2 or 3 cups of herbel tea cos of the sore throat when shouting and screaming. :D
Woke up at 7am and travelled to school. Met Yixie and went to NUS. I think we did a good job. Cos we are the only secondary school group. The other groups really did very well, for example, a robot that is able to solve rubic cube, collect tennis balls, walk up a slope, and even clean an area of 4m. But it was a good learning process. I recalled in May when we got the Bioloid set we dont even know what to do with it. All the trail and error here and there, where there was a very steep learning curve. But our teacher-in-charge, Mrs Chiang, guided us along all the way, helping us where ever she can. The whole process was hard work and perserverence. But we managed to do. One problem is that for JCs, this project is under curcicum time, thus they have more time to explore the robots with more time. However, for us, this is outside school curcricum, and we had class tests and EOY since early Sept. But still to say, we did it! :D Attached at the end of this post is the video of the card dealer in action (if I managed to upload it) and the photo of it.
The presentation ended early, and Yixie and I returned back to Nan Hua for OC again. Hahas. Met Sinyi and Weiqi then listen to Dr Foo talk, and the video and prize presentation. After which went to have lunch and KFC with Yixie, Sinyi, Weiqi and Hadley. Chat till 2+pm, then left that place. Well, there are still homework waiting for me to be completed. But I think I would some rest first! :D This weekend was totally fun and enjoyment! :D Cos anyway is our last OC in Nan Hua. But it was great! :D:D:D
The card dealer robot
Oops. I am sorry readers. Unable to upload video. But if you want to see, I can send it to you on msn! :D

One word to summerize this week til today, which is Wednesday,
TIRED OUT.
This week is very very tiring for me. I also have no idea why. Just feeling like sleeping everyday, even during lessons. This is bad. Something must be done. Cos this year is very very important. Yes. Very important.
Monday was the release of O Level Results, and our express Chinese scores too. Got A1. But my oral only got Merit. A little sad over that. Ms Zheng Mian expected me to get distinction. 觉得对不起她。She really put in a lot of effort in us, hoping each and everyone in the class to achevie good grades. On the whole, the class has 36 Distinctions, ranked number 2 for the level. Not bad. Must work harder this year everyone!
Tomorrow got AMaths Level Test! And I haven study!!! Argh. Must get started later. I feel bad for not spending at least 2 hours of Maths everyday! Sorry Mrs Lim. Will make sure I acheive it after OC and JTDP, which would finally come to a end this weekend. I have to score for this test. I must! Hopefully that after this Saturday and everything comes to a good end. OC would be one major camp for council this year, and I hope nothing else. Hahas. Then around late April and get out of CCA. And time to STUDY! for O Levels. Qutie a lot is expected from our batch, for our PSLE cut-off is 249.
Yesterday night do the Chinese compo till 12.30am. Super tired this morning. And feeling a bit sick also. Argh. Feeling sick for the past few days. Yi Xie was like asking me why am also I sick this year. I have no nswer for that question, for I also dont know it myself.
Weathers for the past few days are rather cold, with stong winds every single day, temperatures ranging between 22 and 29. Wonder what cause all this changes to Singapore this year. Jia Yu mentioned that by next year, Singapore would see snow if this temperature continues to drop. But the big question is, isnt it supossed to be global warming? Hahas.
Okay. I hope I wouldnt get deaf by blasting music at a volume of 45 through the ear piece. For the past 30minutes.
我很想逃避现实。要烦恼的东西实在太多了,似乎数也数不清。更何况今年中四了,快要毕业了,O水准只剩下差不多九个月。L1R5要拿少于8分似乎是件办不到的事,但我愿意去尝试,现在年中考试看看怎样。今早在早报《现在》版读到了一则文章,谈的是2008年的最后一天多加了1秒,而这一秒你到底做了什么?1秒间的时间,看起来或许很少,但能做的事却不只有一间。时间每天一分一秒地过去,它是不会等你的。
Okay. Shall end this post here. Got to go and do homework and revise for Maths Test.
Friday, January 9, 2009 @ 9:11:00 PM
Today is Friday!!! Hahas. Very
TIRED today. Dont know why.
The whole of this week council had been singing at level 2 during morning assembly! Hahas. I think we did a great job! :D Then for attire check today Mr Liu GK says to check on socks! And one from level 2 would suddenly see almost everyone bending down and start to pull their socks! Hahas. A bit funny.
First on the list for today is Maths. Recalled on 13.1 and began 13.2, Double angle formulae, also known as half-angle formulae. Did some practice questions and then was homework in both notebook and workbook. After which was English. Mdm Sia taught us about how writing dialouges in our essays helps to make the essay better, and to attract the readers' attention. She also showed us one sample essay, entitled gossip. I think it was quite a good story, especially the twist at the end of it. For Geog, Mr Yeo continued his introduction. Then was the buying of car, simple interest! Hahas. Link to Maths. Then the total interest thing, etc.
After recess was triple science in a row. “ 醉心”科学三连环。LoL. First was Bio SPA. Went to the lab to do some exercise about homoestatics. About the cups and warm water. After that was Chem. Mr Liu recalled carboxylic acids and started on marcomolecules. Then the sort class interaction, and he talked about some JC Chem stuff. Pie bond and so on. I find it still understandble. Immediately after lunch was Physics. Mr Pandian continued his lesson on temperature, and we completed the chapter! Hahas. One point to mention is that I realise that the answers for the Physics worksheet are always very 奇怪 one.
And finally school ends. Okay, I know this is very crazy, but Shalyn and I actually walked form school to around AES! Walked for close to 3 hours. Though a slightly tired from time to time, but I think it was fun! :D It sounds impossible, but it is not! I remembered during sec 2 both of us determined to walked back home, but in the end only managed to walked till Bukit Timah Plaza, partly because it was getting late. And this time we walked more than twice the distance we walked the previous time! =) Then from AES tookbus home. Cos too tired to walk anymore. Anyway, the next time we should walk to Bukit Panjang! Set.
School had already opened one week! I do hope that I can cope this year! Cos this year is super super super super important. But get into
that JC. And O level results releasing on Monday! Meaning we would also know our results for the express chinese exam that we took last year. Super scared that cant get an
A.
Shall go and sleep soon. Tired Tired Tired. Tomorrow still got council meeting about OC.
Tuesday, January 6, 2009 @ 5:13:00 PM
Didnt went to school yesterday cos I was sick. And I seemed to miss out a lot during lesson time.
The first period today was Bio! Hahas. Ms Chng told us that
O level begans on 26 OOTOBER 2009! Meaning
only 291 DAYS to O level! Oh no! That is bad! Must get started in revising sec 3 stuff liao. Then Bio SPA is in Term 1 Week 7/8! Super fast! Ms Chng also showed us the Bio timetable for this year, which is so packed. There would be class tests now and then almost every single week. And she also mentioned that Mrs BLim is on 3-month leave. Wonder how long would that 3 months be.
Next was Maths. :D Mr Teo began teaching Chpt 5: Maths in Practical Situations. About profit and loss, and simple and compound interest. Hahas. He tends to talk slightly fast, but still understandable. Learing simple and compund interest makes me feels that we are going to work in the bank next time! Cos it is like accounting. Mr Teo also showed us the comparation of deposit and interest got after 30 years if via simple interest, compound interest compounded yearly and monthly. I think he is very hardworking to prepare everything in excel.
As for PE, stayed in class. Cos Ms Saw is involved in the sec1 orientation.
After recess was Chem. Mr Liu went through alcohols and carboxylic acids. Managed slightly better after the lesson. Maybe going to do workbook later? Depends. Hahas.
After Chem was Physics! :D Mr Pandian continued from where he stopped yesterday. And because I did not yesterday's lesson, I was slightly lost somemore during the lesson. About the Kelven and Celeus scale. Then was the calculation of E is to proportional to T.
Met JJ, Daniel and Hadley for lunch! JJ was randoming talking about the s2 class video, saying that Hadley changed a lot since s1. Hahas. Talked all the way to the canteen, and discussed about this issue. And we are all living in 2008! Everyone still thinks that they are in 3__. Hahas. Me too! I wrote the wrong class for the edusave form just now! :X
Then after lunch was Conversational Malay. Sort of recap last year vocab by playing some interactive games. Returned back to class and passed by 308. They were having Maths! Hahas. Polynomials! Remembered learning that at the starting of last year too! Then I heard some of them saying:"Why AMaths so hard one? " Hahas. How I wish I could go over and tell them that it is actually very easy! :D Just need to practice! :D
Shall end my post here for today. Haven complete my NYAA booklet! And then the robot too!
Saturday, January 3, 2009 @ 12:57:00 AM
School reopens today! As usual, the first day of school is Orientation Day. I am sort of both happy and sad that school reopens so fast! Reached school at 7am for council breifing about the orientation activities. I am taking
301 with Wayne. At 8am went to the hall for discipline talk.
After the talk, went to 301 and played bonding games with them! There was also 2 other careforce members with us in the class. At first they were quite noisy and a bit to control. But that was a good sign cos it is a lot better than a very quiet class! Hahas. :D They had self-introduction first, then was
Pass the Message part 1 and 2! Part 1 is by wispering, and part 2 is by using actions only. Well, the message being passed down dont usually make sense, for example, for Part 2, the first message was " It is raining crocodiles and dianosaurs." Hahas. =) It was quite fun to see them come up with a lot of funny actions to try to communicate with their new classmates! After that played
Blow Wind Blow! The class seems to like that game very much! Hahas. After which they went for recess!
Wanted to go back to class, but met Eddy along the coridoor and started chatting for around 15 minutes. Talked about the games that our classes had played.
Went back to 301 at 1030am again after their recess break. Play
Arrange Me in Order. For this game, the class had to arrange themselves in order by the condition given by us in a given time without talking. So they can only use their body language. Some conditions includes height, shoe size, birthdays, and hair length. I would say that the class did very well in this game, cos for most of the conditions given, they are able to complete it fast (around 2min) and accurate! Hahas. :D
After which returned back to class and played a very simple game of
Entangle. Well, the last group had to sing a song. I think they are quite cute! Hahas. Next up was
Honey I Love You. In the game, the class have to form a circle around the classroom. One person would began the game by finding another person of the opposite gender and say "Honey I love you. Will you smile for me?" The one sitting down have to reply by saying "Honey I dont love you. I wouldnt smile for you." However, if the person smiles, he or she would have to come up and do it again to another person. Well, the class really did a lot of creative stuff, like kneeling down on front of the person, using a funny tone etc. :]
The last game lined up by us was
Blow Wind Blow Part 2. This is slightly different from the Blow Wind Blow mentioned earlier in this post. For Part 2, chairs would be removed one by one after each round. Therefore, there would be more people standing up, stating the condition. Played half-way through then have to stop, cos Mr JTan wants to do some admin stuff with the class.
I think I would love 301 a lot this year! Hahas. :D Sort of a good start with the class. I think I am a bit sort today. Cos Jingyi says that too! She says that I am a bit too high today! But I also dont know why. Just sort sort de. Maybe becase O level is coming very very soon, then should just take this time to enjoy my time in Nan Hua before all the books are starting to fall from the sky! =)
After that went to the auditorum for the NYAA talk. Talking of which, I have yet to fill it in!! Should try to do it during this weekend. Then after that returned back to class and realised that there is a whole new class commettee and seating plan! I am sitting beside Wan Chun. Hope can learn a lot from her.
Then after school was the Council camp! Only went to the first workshop. But I think the first workshop was quite fun though, a lot of fun and new games! :D Like the ball game and the funny passage! :D
I think it is qutie a pretty long post for the first day of school! Hahas. I never knew that there are so much to post about on the first day of school! Should go and sleep now! I am super tired!
Thursday, January 1, 2009 @ 12:17:00 AM
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009! It is 1 January
2009!
Yesterday's gathering at Yeeling's house was great! :D We all had lots and lots of fun! :D
