Honestly, I have run of things to blog about and you should know why. But in order to ensure that this blog is kept alive as far as possible, I will try my best to crap something out which hopefully, will turn into something for you people to read. Anyways, I am beginning to love Vectors but I don't know why. I hated Vectors in secondary school because they did not make complete sense to me. And not only did I have to face them in Mathematics, but in Physics as well. I guess rigour of A level subjects do change the perspective of how we see things and most probably, in university it would further widen our perspective in whatever course that we would be doing.

As you can see, I have made a change to my wishlist. In the past, all I had ever wanted was to get good A level results, get NS over and done with and do Chemistry in NUS. But what happened last year made me a little bit disappointed and I was contemplating whether I should do Chemistry in university. Thank god the school allowed me to take up Biology, which I have to admit was a risky move that I took. A year has passed and I am happy to say that I glad I took Biology because if I did not, I really do wish to know what will happen to my Promo results.

I will make sure that I will make the best out 2010, with just memorable memories and definitely no regrets.

As there is always first time to everything, this would probably be the first time I am looking forward to school. Seriously, I can't wait for Monday because not only can I skip lessons but also I would be down with station master duty. Though it would mean waking up at 5.45 in the morning, I do not really mind because TJ is just a 15 minute walk from my house.

;D

Having 2 consecutive lectures smacked right at the start of the day is really terrible. By the time we were somewhere in the middle of the Chemistry lecture, I started to blank out because I realised that we were going to have Mathematics lecture soon after that. Honestly, I can't take 2 lectures straight. And speaking of lectures, THE J1S HAVE THE NOTES BINDED. How unfair is that? Now they don't have to worry about filing their notes and tutorials because all the notes and tutorials are binded together. At least that was what I saw for Mathematics. And the poor J2s here have to take our own initiatives to bind the notes so they don't go missing. Thank god I binded all my J1s Biology notes together. I am contemplating whether to bind the J2 set of lecture notes together with the J1 because if I do, it would be horrendously thick that it would be incovenient to lug it around. But if I were to bind them separately, it would be inconvenient for me to study because Mendelian Genetics I would be separated from its partner. Oh gosh. I can't believe I needed 3/4 of the paragraph to rant about binding of notes.

Friday is finally here. I got to complete Tutorials 2-3 of Vectors, try and finish up Mendelian Genetics and Amino acids tutorials. And of course, the essays and DRQ for National Income Statistics. Man, Mendelian Genetics II is confusing. I'm sure those taking Biology would agree with me. That darn Punnett square takes up almost 3/4 of the paper. And they still have the cheek to ask us to draw the test cross when there is no more space. Furthermore, drawing the horizontal lines and making sure they align is pretty troublesome. Be it for O levels or A levels, those people are downright demanding.

Anyway, I can't wait for Monday and Tuesday; station master duty = skip lessons = incur the wrath of tutors since they would have to have a make-up specially for us. And following the station master duty, I foresee that I would be busy with MCS - trainings, meetings etc etc. And MCT is just round the corner. I mean it, it is round the corner.

I want to design the class tee because I want it really badly, but I have no idea how to go about doing it. Pretty sad huh.

Since I'm neither an OGL nor an OGM, I am not supposed to be doing this. But since, this week is Orientation and since I'm a station master, it would mean I am part of orientation and it would only be right for me to get into the orientation mood. But then again, station masters are supposedly to be 'houseless' and that only applies when we are doing our duty. And since we are not doing any form of duty which related to orientation in anyway would imply that I can support my house. And since I am from Alpha and Alpha is Xaedon would mean that Alpha = Xaedon.

And so,

CAN YOU HEAR THE XAEDON HEARTBEAT?

:D

Pardon me if I took too long to realise this but, I OFFICIALLY HATE THURSDAYS. I mean, lessons end till like 3PM and following that is group PE which by far, is the most stupidest period ever alongside with mass PE. I have not idea why would they want to train us for road run. Like hello, shouldn't we decide whether we want to run or not? What had happened to democracy that is so widely preached here in Singapore? How great it would be if there wasn't any PE at all? And because of the stupid runs that we did on Tuesday and today, my calf muscles are aching real bad. Anyway, enough of the bad stuff. I can continue ranting about how I hate this and how I hate that, but things won't get any better. So just now the new J1s came in, and the school looked so colourful with all the different uniforms and what nots. They should enjoy orientation to the fullest because they simply do not what lies ahead of them. And of course, all of us J2s went through the good and bad times (though the worst has yet to come). Been there and done that.

And the arrival of the new of J1s simply mean that we are the most senior in school (geez, that make us sound really old) Just a year ago we were right in the auditorium and going through orientation and here we are, 9 more months to the A level examinations. I miss OG 16 so much. I miss cheering and mass dancing. I miss everything about orientation. How nostalgic. Now I'm regretting for not taking the OGL interview seriously.

And during Biology lecture just now, we started on the Application syllabus which was supposedly the most difficult part of the whole A level Biology syllabus. DNA isolation and cloning is darn cool and the video how the things on Earth can be Pandorian is really intriguing. And what does this mean? It means that I should do Biology in the university and that you people should take H2 Biology. Period.

And apparently, there is hope for dikir barat for guys. Heh xD

:D

For once, I managed to remember most of the reagents and conditions for Organic Chemistry. I was damn happy when they asked to synthesis CH3CH2CH2CH2NH2 from CH3CH2COOH in less than 4 steps. Anyway, that was some random rubbish that came out from my head. I ♥ timetable for 21/09. I bet all of you would be so jealous with our timetable that you wished you were in our class :DD Plus with all the crap, laughter and huhu-haha that we make during lessons, there is no reason why you wouldn't want to be part of our class. Speaking of which, I WANT CLASS TEE. I hope it will turn out puhretty :D On the contrary, Biology practical was definitely one the most horrible practical ever. It is only like the 2nd practical of the year and it is so freaking confusing. Like the ink was supposed to move in the capillary tube SLOWLY but mine just zoomed straight towards the syringe. I gave up at the 1st experiment and faked the rest of my results (I'm sorry Miss H). But we will be doing bacteria isolation soon and it definitely sounds fun.

Speaking of practicals, yesterday during Chemistry practical, we were doing QA and my mind was such in a delirious state that I have absolutely no idea what I was doing. I heated the solution in the small test tube instead of the boiling tube and the water splashed out. Stupid right? I'm sorry to those who were around me. And some reagent got spilled on my finger and stained it real bad. Must be of those acid burns or whatever that we heard during Secondary 1.

Anyway, Mr Tan showed us this video during Biology lecture yesterday and it is seriously damn funny.



I can't wait to see the new faces around school and oh, is there something wrong with the school portal?

:D

I woke up this morning and almost forgot that I was supposed to go to school. Luckily I didn't go back to sleep. I left home at 7.30AM and was contemplating whether to take the bus or walk to school because either way, I figured I still could reach on time. So I decided on the latter and somehow, I don't know how, I reached school in like 15 minutes. Sometimes I wonder whether I am human or not.

Anyway, station master briefing today was awesome. Not the briefing though, as in the things that we get to do. The games looks damn fun and I am pretty much sure that the J1s will love this orientation. And as much as I want to divulge more, this is the Internet where everybody can accessed to this page and being binded lawfully to a contract, I can't. Because if I do, it will mean trouble for me and it will definitely spoil the fun for the J1s that are coming in.

Of course, being a station master has it privileges. Duh. Even though it isn't as great as being an OGL, we get to skip lessons. YAY :D But it means I'll be missing Chemistry and Biology practical. I SHOULD be doing my tutorials now. Most probably try to cover as much Vectors as possible, attempt some questions on Mendelian Genetics as well as do Amines and Isomerism tutorial.

:D

I'm all alone at home because everyone else left home to accompany my dad get his new phone. But I'm leaving home pretty soon probably in 50 minutes time for my electone lesson. Anyway, I am pretty shagged and physically worn out. I wonder how I can cope with another 30+ weeks of school and not to mention the preparation of tests, exams etc. To top it off, there are still preparation for Temasek Nite and Mardi Gras which, I presume will eat pretty much of my time. At just the 2nd week of school, I am swamped with a gazillion of things to do which make me regret not spending the 2 months holiday that I had fully.

School is definitely someplace that is fun. Of course, ask anyone on the street and I can bet that they will say how fun education is. Education has, without a doubt, evolved through times. Education during our parents' time was totally different from what we're experiencing now. In my opinion, I feel that education at present time has somewhat made becoming a student a job. Just look, a typical student leaves home at about 6.30AM probably, together with his/her parent and ends school at around 2PM. Not forgetting that there is CCA, the student will reach home close to about 7PM. Isn't that similar to the working hours of an adult? Then parents/working adults will argue that school is definitely 3432050235845 better because students don't have to face the pressure of bosses, office politics etc. But hey, isn't sitting for examinations the same? It's not like as if we're just sitting for 1 subject. In retrospect, 5 subjects now is enough to make me go mad. I'm sure my peers will feel the same way too.

That was just some random stuff that I crapped out with so that the post looks longer :D Anyway, I got selected as station master after not getting through OGL interview (hmmph). So at least I still can go for orientation this year. We should form an OG like OG 17 and crash the mass dance at Suntec. I swear it would be cool. Oh yes, I better remind myself to wake up early tomorrow to attend the briefing. Otherwise...

I should complete the Tutorial 1 (supposedly Tutorial 31) soon.

Bye people :DD

First and foremost, let me announce that I have no freaking idea how many drafts I made before eventually telling myself to make sure to click that 'Publish Post' button. Anyway, 2nd week of school was great, blah blah blah. There was the darn PE which made me lose whatever motivation I had left to continue with the day. So you got it right, I spent the whole looking at the clock every lesson waiting for the bell to ring. Because of that, my first ever Biology practical turned to be a disaster. I have forgotten almost everything about SPA since the last time we done a practical was eons ago. And god knows why was there Mathematics tutorial after Biology practical when we could have gone home. There was kompang training today and the most coolest thing is that, there's 2 non-Malay guys joining us. Awesome much. One of them is Dennis and the other is Andrew if I'm not wrong. See, MCS upholding racial harmony :DD

I know this is a pretty short post, but I have got Halogenoalkanes supplementary questions to do, Probabily III tutorial and of course, try to find my 2004 GP answers which god knows where it is.

:DD

Damn. It's already the end of the weekend. 2nd week starts tomorrow and I am definitely NOT looking forward to it. As it is, I am feeling very lethargic ever since Friday and strangely, sleeping doesn't help. Sheesh. But thank god, tomorrow and Tuesday are both relatively short days. There's Chemistry practical tomorrow and we're doing QA :DD Gosh, that's like the only thing I'm looking forward to.

Anyway, for some unknown reasons, I can't wait for the J1s to come in. Probably because the school looks quite empty without them.

I should go and complete my work now.

Till then :D

Second day of school was horribly horrible. I mean it. What could be more worse than running 4 rounds around the track the first thing in the morning? My body and legs definitely took its toil after not running for a very, very, very long time. Economics was okay uh because there wasn't any tutorial to go through so we did the presentation for the stupid project. I'll be probably be presenting during tomorrow. Damn. And the first Biology tutorial was horrible because the test we sat for was really ==". I suddenly forgot what I studied and I stared at the paper blankly for a very long time. And the second structured question was something about Li-Fraumeni syndrome and it immediately reminded me of The Seventh Day.

And there's double GP tomorrow and Thursday which is super boring. Oh, J2s have the privilege of having air-con classrooms so practically ALL of our tutorials are in air-conditioned rooms. The school even made every classroom at the TA block air-conditioned. Total unfairness. The J1s can enjoy their lessons in the once-stuffy rooms.

Well, the world isn't fair anyway. Anyway, I have definitely not feel the pressure a JC2 should but I'm pretty certain it would be anytime soon. So for now, I shall brace myself and prepare for whatever is going to happen. I know I'll be physically and mentally drained soon, but for the sake of my future I'm going to persevere. I know the people around me will give all the support that I need to journey through 2010. I will not disappoint myself again nor will I disappoint the people that I love. First obstacle to get through - MCT. I must not, I repeat, I must not and will not screw MCT like how I screwed Promos and JCT. I will try my really best to give everything I got and prepare for my first and last MCT whole-heartedly. I'm not asking for straight As for MCT but at least decent grades which don't consist of U, S and E.

Oh, congrats those who did well for the O levels and to those who didn't, don't give up but continue trying. Our turn is next eh? Probably in March for the release of the Project Work results.

Frankly speaking, it's really weird not seeing PW on the timetable.

:D

First day of school was quite okay. There was no lessons today so we were released like at 10.20AM. For all this while, I was wondering why was there an early release on the first day of school. Totally unheard of. Turns out that it was a break for us for the awesome job that all of us did for Open House on Saturday. Basically, the first day of school is usually all the administrative stuff etc. I realised that 2010 will be a short year after hearing what the Principal has to say during the talk just now.

Anyway, we'll be doing QA for Chemistry practical. I'm pretty excited about this because I have always loved QA. And according to Mr Tan, we'll be synthesising simple organic compounds. I made aspirin during the Chemistry Camp last year and it was damn cool. I shall look forward to all Chemistry practicals.

To be continued :D

Seriously, I have no idea what the world is coming to these days. I mean, who transcribes (is that the right word?) lyrics into mathematics notations. Sounds silly, but somehow I find it really cool. To mention, Lady Gaga's Bad Romance is one. Google it or search it through Facebook. I'm sure you'll eventually get what I mean.

Life's been pretty sad. Not literally but I'm practically doing the same every day. That's sad right? This could be the very reason why I truly can't wait for school to start. Bad thing is, there'll be lectures, tutorials, tutors' naggings etc. And to top if off, it's A level year. Dang, there's Mathematics tutorial tomorrow and we're having a new tutor. Not sure whether that's good news or bad news.

And oh, O level results are going to be released this coming Monday. How nostalgic. I'm certain I can never forget 12th January 2009 :D

XOXO ♥

I still can't get over the fact that in 6 more days, I'm officially in JC2. Obviously, being in JC2 simply equates to more pressure, more stress and more workload. Okay, that's like duh right. Anyway, I'm really shocked at how time flies. Does time accelerate as the number of days goes by? I wonder. The thought of sitting for A levels simply makes me shudder in fear. So hopefully, this will be the last time I'll be sitting for any major exams. But hey, the 1992 babies are turning 18 this year. How cool is that :D I'm so going to get my driver's licence so I wouldn't have to wait for buses or pay the exorbitantly high taxi fares. Even my family is telling me to get it.

Anyway, I am freaking bored at home. Earlier today, I read through P&C and Probability lecture notes which didn't quite make sense to me initially. It's an attempt to get my brain prepared for the rigorous syllabus that is coming up soon. I wouldn't want to die of an information overload. I shall read Biology and Chemistry tomorrow, just to refresh up my memory because as it is, I seemed to have forgotten some of the things that I used to remember (weird sentence)

Oh, going back to my point of being in JC2. I guess it isn't so bad after all eh? At least there's no more H1 8809 Project Work to sit for anymore. 1 year of PW is enough to wipe out the entire colony of brain cells. Pretty early though, but I shall wish good luck to JC1s-to-be once more. They'll need loads of it and of course, they should be prepared for emotional ride of their lifetime.

That's all folks. Good night and sweet dreams.

I don't care if this is my 3rd post or 348389258235th post but I need to tell the whole world that I ♥ Jessica Cali. In case you don't who she is, which you should, Jessica's other half is Tabitha. As in Tabitha Nauser of Singapore Idol 3. Jessica is a bimbo, but that what makes other people including myself, love her. Jessica, I mean, Tabitha can act really well. Her accent comes out naturally nice. Jessica is somewhat like London Tipton lookalike. I'm not going to say who copies who, or she'll show her bimbo self. Oh, she has a Twitter account. Seriously man, this is damn hilarious.

Go to Youtube and search Jessica Cali.

I'm sure you guys will have a good laugh like I did.

Good afternoon happy people :D As you can I have changed the blogskin which I had for about almost a year now. I have not properly edited the scripts yet as I am supposed to leave the house soon for lunch. I'll try to get things properly done soon. Well, that is if I'm not lazy when I get back.

Oh, in any case, catch the repeat telecast of the grand finale of Singapore Idol today.

♥

/edited

I'm back and I realised that there isn't much to edit so I'm not going to pandai pandai edit the scripts. Anyway, lunch at Seoul Garden was awesome. Everyone was so hungry that nobody bothered to take out the camera and camwhore.

Dang. I'm really sorry for this horribly short post but I really don't what to blog about. My brain is completely exhausted with things to blog. Oh ya, did anyone read the Life section of The Straits Times today? I have no idea what was the inverted commas supposed to mean. Come on lah, it's over already. Don't rake up the past please. It's definitely unpleasant.

:)

Happy new year to all the awesome people on planet Earth. It's January 2010 and like I mentioned in my previous post which was supposed to be a a summary of what 2009 was like tapi tak menjadi, I'm sitting for the A levels in like 9-10 months time. And I am more than certain that these 10 months will go by in the blink of an eye. I have already learnt my lesson from 2008 and I will try my best not to repeat it once again. No certainity there, but obviously I wouldn't want to put my future at stake because I feel that the A levels is the one that pretty much decides everything. Well, enough of unwanted stress. School is starting in 2 weeks time. So before that, I shall refrain from thinking about academic-related stuff. Because when I start thinking, my palms will start sweating and I will think of the unthinkable.

I spent my New Year in front my laptop, going on YouTube and watching Singapore Idol videos. I guess you can call it Idol withdrawl syndrome. I didn't quite follow Idol at the start, but yeah I started to follow it somewhere in between. I admit that I wasn't an Idol enthusiast which I was in 2006, and this was something I totally regretted. Like as if it would affect my life. Anyway, I thought that backstage life was really cool. Because you get to do all the awesome stuff with awesome people. Well, point is Singapore Idol is over and it sucks.

I shall rewatch Idol once more, to catch up on the parts I missed.

Good nights people :D
