Urgh. The desktop clock says 12.36AM and my brain is screaming at me to go to bed. But, there are strong electrostatic forces of attraction between my eyes and my laptop screen and between my butt and the bed. Since a lot of energy is required to overcome the strong electostatic forces of attraction, I might as well type out this post until an energy source comes. Gosh, I'm talking crap. Anyway, yesterday was awesome (it's already past 12, so its technically Sunday already). Watched Anak Wayang at Victoria Theatre from 3-5 plus. I personally felt that it was awesome and enjoyed myself thoroughly. And so much for being reluctant to go. After Anak Wayang, I rushed from Raffles Place back to Bedok and to my brother's school for Brilliante III, which I also thought was kind of awesome; the band especially (not solely because my brother is in it okay. I'm not bias). Didn't quite like the first piece which I thought was slightly off tempo. But I loved the second piece. Come on, what could be better than having the whole band playing an Arashi medley? Arashi pieces are damn nice to play because most of them are quite upbeat and that's why I was tapping my feet the whole time. Those which are quite slow have super nice melody lines, so it isn't that bad. Grrr. Because of them I shall now try to find an Arashi medley for the electone.

School resumes tomorrow and it sucks because we would be getting back our MCTs which I can surely say I screwed up. Plus I have yet to do the tutorial for Sampling Methods. So much things, so little time

:(

Today marks the end of the dreaded MCTs, at least for most of us. I know that most of us will be celebrating and whatnots, but then again, I don't see a cause for celebration. It's just the end of MCTs; not the end of the actual examinations yet. Plus, it is not that I aced all the papers. One thing is for sure, I screwed up most of the papers big time. Probably Economics is the worst because who gives a damn about Little Nyonya and honestly, I don't see a link between Little Nyonya and Economics. C'mon, at least give something that makes more sense. Anyway, though I did prepare for this MCT (my parents had better agree on this), turns out whatever I prepared wasn't sufficient; there are still a lot of gaps that have yet to be closed. I know somehow, when we get back our results, I would be depressed and all. Then I would lose whatever little ounce of determination and motivation I have left and there you go. I guess I need to take a break, I really need to. My brain has exceeded its full capacity and it is as though it is going to explode anytime.

I guess I would end here. Take care and stay happy people

:D

I almost thought that tomorrow was the start of the holidays. Gosh, what on earth was I thinking. For goodness sake, it's the start of Term 2 tomorrow and so will the dreaded MCTs. Tomorrow's GP, one of my worst subjects ever. Ever since coming to JC, I realised that GP is like 412345389205935 times much difficult than O level EL. To think I was complaining how difficult it was to get an A1 for EL. Anyway, getting an A or B for GP at this point in time is totally impossible. Which is why I really hope to get a D. And that is enough to motivate me to do better. Furthermore, I heard that the minimum grade for GP to get a place in FoS in NUS is a C, which equates to getting around 50-60 marks. And with all those smart asses in RIJC and HCI, they are bound going to pull up the grades despite moderation. Pressure pressure pressure. Oh dear, it's already 11.20PM and I should be turning in soon. I pray hard that I can write a good essay and most important, write logical stuff for AQ.

And oh, good luck to all J2s taking your MCTs/MBTs/or whatever else you call it.

:DD

Oh gosh, it's already 5 minutes past 3 in the morning. I am now at my grandmother's house since my dad, my mum and my aunt went to KL like at 2 plus in the morning. It was kinda last minute thing. Apparently, one of my mum's relative passed away on the train on their way to Singapore because there is this wedding reception going on today and tomorrow. Anyway, I decided not to follow them because for one, school resumes on Monday and two, Monday marks the start of MCTs and unfortunately, I have yet to complete revision which I doubt I would. I guess I should be sleeping soon but I'm too sure why I can't. Probably because I'm sitting on my cousin's bed which is beside the window, and god knows why they left the windows wide open. Yes yes. I have an imaginative mind beyond words.

Honestly, I am very very tired. Turns out that this one week break isn't sufficient for me to charge my batteries for the coming weeks, which I presume is gonna be tough. Oh. Just to remind myself that I should go down to CCAB on 31st March to get the tickets for SYF, which I so badly want to go. It has been 2 years already and it's time to show them what you've got TK Band. Though I wasn't from band, being part of it for 2 months is enough to see how they deserved to get the Best Display Band of the Year, which sadly they didn't. But, I am more than certain that they will put a good fight on 10th April and snatch back what was and still is rightfully theirs.

:D

Gosh. It's already Friday, which simply marks that school holidays is ending soon. Then, MCTs begin on Monday followed by JCTs, Prelims and finally, the actual A levels. The thought that I would be sitting for another major exams really shudders me a lot. Taking the O levels was already bad enough. Anyway, yesterday was totally wasted when I could have started on Chemistry and a bit of Mathematics. But, I practically spent the whole day at the Science Centre for some Brain Awareness, which I thought was quite cool. Sad thing is, my phone got spoilt for some unknown reason and we got cheated of $30. Anyway, I finished Mutation and Cancer before I went out, so it wasn't all that bad. I was thinking of finishing Organic Chemistry today and later at night, a lot of Mathematics. Then, tomorrow I thought I could try and finish up Biology and try to memorise some Economics. On Sunday, read up on GP which includes gathering some examples blah blah blah and finish up Chemistry and a bit of Economics. Darn it, my brain is going to explode due to information overload.

Now, I wish for a better hippocampus and amygdala. :D

I know I should be studying but I can't. Not with those horribly irritating drilling noises and hammering going on around the house. So I guess I should hit the books at night, or otherwise one day would be simply wasted just like that and that can be considered under-utilisation of resources can't it? I can't believe I am speaking in Economics language. And I have yet to consider the opportunity cost for typing out this post, or I should do a cost-benefit analysis to see whether typing this post is worthwhile. Then again, it's up to my tastes and preferences isn't it? Oh gosh. I am not making any sense here.

Anyway, I am almost done with reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. After watching the Lightning Thief, I decided to buy the books to continue with the story since the sequel to the Lightning Thief would be in 2012, and that's a 2 year long wait. Anyway, the storyline is damn awesome. Guarantee plus chop. (spoiler ahead) And I never thought a daughter of Aphrodite was actually the spy. Gosh.

And it is damn cool as to how they send out Iris-message by tossing one golden drachma into a rainbow; be a rainbow due to some rainfall or from some prism. Damn, I can't wait for the movie and after reading the books, I have absolutely high expectations for the sequel. You had better give all those kick-ass effects or otherwise.

:D

Finally, the long-awaited March holidays have finally arrived and unfortunately, as much as I would like to savour every moment of the holidays (away from the presence of books), I can't.
MCTs will commence in exactly a weeks time, where I will be in the Auditorium trying to come up with a sensible essay which will earn me a decent grade for GP. I am unsure why, but I just have this sudden burst of motivation in me that drives me forward and forces me to get my butt off the laptop to start revising. And thank god, I did and I spent my Sunday studying Biology and I managed to get as far as completing the entire Application syllabus which is tested for MCT. Though there are still a few points which I have yet to memorise fully, I am quite confident for the Application syllabus (or so I hope :D) I am still contemplating whether to start from Mendelian Genetics II or O&C or should I start on Economics.

Sheesh. Life's tough decisions.

I look at the news/newspaper, and what do I see? Students getting 7As and 8As, which makes me wonder whether I can achieve that in the first place. Yes, I have not tried it yet but even if I put it my best into preparing for the A levels, I doubt I can even attain an A for GP. And even if I do, somehow, it is probably by a sheer of luck. You see, I have no flair for languages and my result for both my languages during secondary school as well as my grade for GP are testament to my incapability to score well for them. As much as I would want to see all As on my result slip, I fear that it is just one of the many impossible dreams that I have.

But point to note, miracles do happen. Yes, they really do. With hard work, sheer determination and His blessings, I hope to pull off some decent grades just to get into NUS Faculty of Science. Knowing my weaknesses now helps I guess since I should not work triply hard on these areas and improve on them by JCTs. And come JCTs, I hope to see grades that would motivate me even further to achieving all distinctions for A levels.

But of course, there is still Project Work result right? And that MUST be an A or a B, I don't care.

:D

I was on a emotional rollercoaster ride today. Probably because the fact that I would be sitting in the hall getting my results in a year time struck me really badly. Honestly, I was really nervous and jittery today as though as I was the one getting me results. But it can't be helped, can it? Though it may sound pretty far, but 365 days ain't long. Like how J1 quickly flew by in the blink of an eye, and here I am in my 3rd month as a J2.

Maybe 2008/2009 was a lesson to me. I wanted 12th January 2009 to happen all over again. I want to hold my result slip, feeling all proud of myself for all the hardwork that I put in. I want to make parents proud. I really do. They have slogged day and night to raise me and my brother up and the least I can do is to get excellent results and get a place in university.

I guess I woke up from dreamland today. I realised the hard fact that A levels is in 7 months time and I should start my revision now so that I won't end up cramming all the information weeks prior to the examinations. MCT is in 2 weeks time and that would be the first checkpoint to see how far I progressed.

Hello once more happy people of planet Earth :D Don't ask me why I am so happy now because I am not. Okay, just a quick post before I get ready to go to school again for PDP. Yes, I know you must be asking me why on earth did I even go back home. But unfortunately, the school is just a 20 minute walk away from my house. Anyway, we had one of the most exciting practical just now. Well, the other one being the gel electrophoresis. So just now we had to introduce the GFP gene into the bacteria. After growing the transformed bacteria, those grown on the LB/ampicillin/some weird compound will glow under UV light. But here is the sad part, my centrifuge containing the transformed bacteria got thrown so I did not manage to actually transfer them onto the agar plate. So tomorrow, everyone's agar plate will glow except mine. Sad huh.

Darn it.
