Going off to China le
See you on 3rd Dec!:)

First week of Freedom

A little about this past week - This post gonna be kinda long.

So Monday. went for choir to prepare for upcoming performance on sat. Got there at 8 for impromptu sectionals. I was late, short notice. Was supposed to hve breakfast with kheng hian at 8 lols. Anyways just bought a burger and rushed to practice. Practiced till about 12.45 and practice ended. For that day, practice was kinda helpful for me as I realised how rusty my voice had become and took note how much more I needed to work. As a whole, the guys needed much improvements as well. After that went Orchard with Xun Xin and ZJ to get stuff for prom at bout 2+. Met a few others at Far East Plaza as well. As I only needed to get a blazer, I didn't really look around much. Most had promos for blazer and shirt, which I didn't need. However, first shop I went into I got really thrown off by the shop attendant's attitude. Therefore, I didn't bother to get anything from there. The few other shops we went to all had blazer with designs I didn't really like so I didn't buy anything that day. Shopped till bout 9 and then got home.

Tuesday. Hahas, dun really rmb what I did. No choir though, think I slacked at home, watched TV, practised the songs for choir etc. Oh yeahs, went to watch meteors at 8 in the evening at Japanese garden with my siblings. However it just rained and so it was very cloudy and there weren't any meteors to be seen. Waste of time lols. Sad. Our time was not really wasted though. There was the "Deep Impact" and " The Day After Tomorrow" being screened and both shows weren't too bad. Both shows revolve around the idea of the end of the world but different ways in which the world comes to an end. Stayed all through the night and only left at 5 in the morn on wed.

Wednesday. Had choir again. Slept only about an hour or so and left home for sectionals at 8. Was late again though, couldn't get out of bed, hahas. So got there at about 8.45. Left early at 11.00 this time though, had a medical appt.

Thursday. Went to catch a movie with my siblings at Cathay at around 3.00. Watched 2012 and it was an extremely interesting movie again about the end of the world. After that, left at 6.00 and went home for dinner.

Today, thinking of trying to see if I can get a blazer from a shopping mall nearby. Then there is the packing for my holiday trip to China to be done (tell you about it when I get back). Hoping to sqeeze some time to go cycling but chances of it are really bleak. Saturday will be the choir performance and nxt Monday is prom already.

Will be off on my trip to China - Kunming early morn on Tues and coming back on the 3rd dec. Till then, Bye.

Chong Jing Book 5

Attended the " chong jing 'fa bu hui' " earlier today. One of my essays was inside. Woohoos!





Btw, Life of Freedom - Day 1

Cycling outing to East Coast Park

Had a really great time at East Coast Park on friday with 4D'09, hahas, despite the persistent rain that is. The rain actually lasted for about 4 hours on and off lols.
However, the first thought I had when we got to East Coast was " why did we come all the way to the east just to stand in the rain??" Hahas, we hung around about an hour in the rain b4 we got on to renting bikes and going off to cycle. Was really drenched just minutes into cycling and with the strong wind blowing, it was freezing.
By the time we hung out at the jetty, about an hour into cycling, I was more than drenched, soaked through in fact, hahas. Tommy was like asking " You went swimming ar?" Lolz.
Den went to the beach but due to the rain, the beach was like a piece of random quick sand. Walking on the beach and suddenly, ur feet just sinks into the ground and gets filled with sand. Was kinda lucky I decided to wear slippers there I guess, imagine getting shoes filled with sand. Urgh!
Returned our bikes at around 6.25 and 7.00 and went for dinner at the food centre at East Coast Park. I ordered some char kuey tiao and shared money to buy some satay with the rest. Others like jy and tommy, I think, even ate three or four rounds. Guess the cycling was really tiring huh?
Had dinner from about 7.00 to about 9 plus den walked to the bus stop with daniel, jy, john, zhao wei, yk, eugene and kwong hong. An song, xx and zj stayed behind with emilia, colleen and berenice. At first couldn't find the bus stop and spent a long time walking. In the end finally found the bus stop and took 155 to paya lebar station. Then trained back. Got home before 11.00.
All in all, was quite a fun trip I would say. Despite being a little wet but still fun. Looking forward to more of such trips:)

Omg!! Omg!! War Is Over!!!

Omg!! Omg!! The O's are finally over! Hahas... after three weeks and I'm free from academic education... for quite some time. On the whole, feel I did pretty okay for this O's.
Right, so these r some of what I'll be doing with all my free time now Woohoos!
- Piano
- Gonna start playing guitar again??
- Cycling, hahas
- Mahjong, yeahs
- Bowling
-Clean out my room ( Lots to burn huh?)
Kk, signing off nao. Gonna go celebrate at East Coast nao wif 4D.

Down to the last paper... FINALLY!!!

Yeahz... so I cleared three papers today. Hahas, it wasn't too bad though, all the papers weren't too tough. Well... except for HMT at first actually. Somehow the thought process wasn't really there and the sentences and thoughts in my mind just weren't flowing. Guess I really lost touch with chinese after such a long break form it huh?
Ytd while I was revising for chinese and saw the compos that I had written b4, I started to get a little worried. Somehow I don't rmb ever writing that fluently, and that wasn't the best yet. I was certainly way behind on preparations even ytd. So I tried to get back my thought process by reading some of my past compos and doing some thinking through some qns and doing some writing. Haiz... however it was to no avail. It was only until after my first paragraph of "zuo wen" that I managed to get back my thought process and the phrases and "cheng yu"s started to come to mind. Phew! at least the rest of the compo was not too bad.
Paper 2 was quite manageable as well. At least it was much easier than all the practices I had done b4 this. Think I did pretty okay for it. Hope I pull through these HMT papers...Please!?
Den was phy paper 1. It wasn't too bad as well. At least the qns were more varied and I was able to do majority of the qns confidently. Hope Paper 1 will pull my Paper 2 grades up by 2,3 grades. That should give me quite reasonable grades...
Well, it's down to the last paper now - Chem Paper 1. So gonna just study hard for this one last paper I guess.

And the war ENDssss...!!

Yeahs... so it's down to the last week of O's already. Time flies huh? This last week will probably be the most impt for me though. For one thing, HMT is taking place this week on tuesday, which is really impt as I have been putting in much effort for this subject the last couple of years, I do not want to dissapoint myself and my teachers and most imptly I can get two points off my score if I pass HMT. Hahas, "pai bi" .Physics Paper 1 is also taking place on tuesday. Gotta work hard for phy paper1 to make up for the extremely dismal performance for paper 2 lolz. Den there's chem paper 1 on friday. Cher's said that if excel in paper 1's, there is the possibility to move up 2 or 3 grades?? so really gonna work hard.
On a more relaxed note, gonna start going to choir practices again soon after the O's. Yeahs! really looking forwards to that.
As of now, all the papers that I've done dun seem too bad to me, other than Physics Paper 2. Hoping my grades will be what I expect this time... maybe <10 points. Hahas... let's just work hard for the last few papers.

HMT lessons

Haiz... coz with HMT exams so near, HMT lessons are of course I-N-E-V-I-T-A-B-L-E. Hahas.
Tmr, Friday, from 8 to dun noe wen. ( Hope not till afternoon though) and sat also from 8. Haiz..

Saw Mdm Yong ytd and she told me smth bout putting one of my compo in " Chong Jing". Lolz.
I dun rmb giving Mdm Yong any compos for " Chong Jing" or even writing anything wonderful at all that I've handed to her. Must have been really tired ytd I guess, Hahas. Hearing things. But seriously, she really talks kinda fast and I do have problems keeping up with her talking, outside of lessons of course.

She said smth bout " fa bu hui" on 14 th nov lolz. Suppose I hve to be present.

One other thing. Its been raining really heavily and frequently these couple of days. I am quite sure that I've been stranded by the rain at least twice during the period of the O's. Zzz...
That's not the problem. But having shoes with holes on the soles becomes a huge problem with the ground wet frequently. My socks keep getting soaked. Zzz..
Kays, signing off.

Nearing the end of the war...

Hi all, going to talk about the O's again today.
This week, Monday had SS first at 8.00 in the morn and then Chem at 2.00 in the aft. Felt that both papers for the day were quite well, especially SS, hahas! den again it was coz Venice didn't come out I guess. Woohoos!!
So of course I did globalisation which suprisingly, luckily I might add, did come out. Though I didn't really study much of globalisation, hving spent much time on Venice( Grrr...), I was still able to answer the qns somehow. Guess it was probably coz Globalisation has been " internalised" already having studied it for almost a whole year already. Btw, the two qns were
4. Sustaining Singapore's economic development in a globalised world
(a) How far do you agree that the main cause of globalisation has been improvements in communications?
(b) Which is the more effective strategy for Singapore to remain competitive in a globalised world - diversifying its economy or managing its resources efficiently? EYA.

Was able to answer both the qns quite well I felt. I do hope that I managed to justify and elaborate on the points reasonably and fully. The SBQ was not too bad as well. Really hope to score well in SS and hopefully get an A1.
Chemistry was not too difficult as well. Managed to complete the paper and my answers were hopefully better this time than the last few tests and papers that I did.

Tuesday didn't have exams so didn't go to school. Stayed at home to study for physics and geog on wed.

Had Physics first the next day on wed at 8.00 again. However, felt that my answers for that paper were not that good. Really, it was infuriating! Magnetism, Moment, Pressure, Thermal all did not come out. Electricity came out though and it seemed to be lyk the only topic that came out. Thus, it was not very well.
But geog was okay, much better than I had thought at least. The questions that came out were quite easy, drawing of diagrams didn't come out at least, and map too. All in all, I felt that my answers were not too bad so really hope to get A1 for my humanities.

Okay, that's all about the exams for the past few days.
Not having any more papers till nxt tuesday and friday will be the last paper. Friday is Chem Paper 1 but tues will be hell for me. Hahas, imagine HMT Paper 1 and 2 and Physics Paper 1 all falling on the same day. Haiz...just one more week, can't afford to give in now. Looks lyk I just have got to work a little harder these last few days. Signing off...till next week.
