prelims

it's been a day of ups and downs. we got back our prelims results today. frankly speaking, i've no complaints whatsoever about my results. those that i deserve to do well, i did, those that i don't, i didn't. yeah. but unfortunately, our day had to end at a NADIR. haha. shit my gp sux.

we got back jap. and it was terrifying. it's the first time sensei said that we did badly for our written test. and it was really badd. hmm. and the worst and most scary thing is that, he actually copied n pasted last yr's alevels from section3 onwards, which constitutes more than half the paper. if we did so badly for this prelims, it'll mean that we'll do badly if we were to take last year's alevels. oh man. really scary. but thankfully for some, listening and oral pulled them up. but my listening didn't! it pulled me down! but i shouldn't complain, cuz i improved a hell lot from my previous listening test.

yes...ahh so tiredd... i should start studying for alevels soon. ahhhh no motivation!!

スローダンス

また久しぶりに日本語のエントリーだけど・・今はスローダンスっていうドラマ見てるんだ。結構いいドラマじゃないかと思うよ。この頃、いや、この前のごろ試験で忙しかったんで、何でもするどころじゃなかったの。そういえば、そんな生活はまた戻ってくるなあ、って気づいた。この一週間のいわば休みは間もなく終わりになっちゃうね。それからまた勉強だらけの生活に戻るね。まあいいっか、もう十分休んだの、十分充電したの。改めて頑張ろうね。ていうか、一ヶ月間引き続いて遊びのない、リラックスする余裕のない生活だ。まあ、後二ヶ月ですべてが終わっちゃうからね。それこそから、僕の本当の始まりだという。軍隊に入って、日本語に触れる機械はなかなかないだろうと予想できるから、その時どっかで日本語の授業を受ければいいね。できれば、日本語だけじゃなくて、日本語で科学とか数学の授業を受ければいい。そう、それがいい。

ああ、そうだね。明日から試験の成績発表だ。ドキドキしてるんだなあ・・・今度はどうやったのかなって。まあ、どうでもいいじゃん。もしかしたら、よくできたかもね。まあっ、もしかすると悪かったかも。どっちにしてもさ、俺が決めるものじゃないから、心配しなくていいね。

じゃあ、それでは・・・

sunburnt!

ahh i'm sunburnt! sentosa was really fun. the last time i've been there was.... can't remember. very long ago. i guess sentosa has changed quite a lot, at least it's different from my impression justbefore i went there.

here is a fun fact: there were FIVE rj j2 classes at sentosa today. oh man, what a coincidence. see, rj ppl don't just MUG. but then again, it was quite obvious we were from rj cuz while waiting at the mrt station, 4 of us, sat down, and took out books to read. haha that was really funnyyy..

anywayy we went to siloso beach and played beach volleyball. oh well. can't say it's fun cuz all of us were dam noobs and most of the rallies ended after the serve. and the WORST thing is the HOT HOT SANDY BEACH. omg the sand was BURNING our feet like mad. but being tough guys we are, we continued playing. luckily we found out a way of cooling our feet, that is, to kick the sand into a trough and stand in the small trough. so in the end, all of us stood in our troughs and played standing volleyball. since it was 4 against 4, there was a big hole in our formation, and since it was really too hot to move, when the ball is hit into the centre of our formation, we'll lose the rally cuz no one will move and hit it back. haha funnyyy...

after volleyball, our feet were really really dying. so we decided to go kayaking! oh it was my first time rowing a one-man kayak and it was quite difficult. but oh well, how difficult can it get? it's just a matter of strength and stamina. then after kayaking we went to play sea-polo! which didn't turn out to be successful. so we just throwed the ball around in the sea. cool! and before we knew it, it was quite late. so we stoned around, took photos, played pool, before leaving sentosa. and when leaving sentosa, we went the wrong way and ended up walking a big big detour before we got out of sentosa. woah, what a tiring day. i'm glad the weather was good, though i'm sunburnt, at least it didn't rain. what a fun day!

疲れたー

ほんとーに疲れたな・・
i'm tiredd... esp my legs. dead. but it's all worthwhile cuz i spent a fruitful and eventful weekend! i'm glad i'm spending my one week 'holiday' usefully, starting from thursday when i went to partyworld with sk hongzhou and junhan. partyworld obviously doesn't seem as popular as kbox but i don't really see the difference, cuz it all looks the same to me.. after that, we went to amk to play pool and arcade. wow. can imagine the amount of money i spent. argh... damn sad. then i went to cut my hair.
on fridayy, i went to bongout (ボングウ）to buy second hand jap books! cuz i was about to finish "ima ai" (which i have finished), and i needed another book to accompany me. so i went in search of another book to read. but all the books there were abt 殺人事件which i'm not sure whether i'll like it or not. so i decided not to buy those kinda books, which then left me with not many choices. and luckily i found this book which i like! mainly cuz i watched the movie and i roughly know the story. so i will be able to roughly understand the book even if the words are too chim. yep, and the book is juon!

on saturday, we went to hougang to play soccer with more or less the usual ppl. and it was after that caused my legs to become dead, and caused my bad bad headache and all the rubbish illnesses. can u believe it? we went at 830 believing that the sun won't be so hot at that time, but when we played until 9+am, the sun started to fry us alive. it was unbelievably hot. anywayy we played till around 11, and after that, junhan and hongzhou came over to my house to play billiard. omg billiard was a disaster cuz the aircon didn't seem to be working and we were all being fried once again, in the billiard room. and after billiard we were discussing where to go next. but at that point in time, i was struck by a bad bad headache, chestache and throatache. haha shit. i must have contracted some terminal disease.it was really bad. but i didn't want to spoil the fun so i had no choice but to reluctantly agree to go marina south for steamboat. haha but i never regretted that cuz it was very fun! and then BOSS joined us. omg, can you believe boss has slimmed down a lot, and he can do 10 pull ups now. that's so unbelievable. ok i guess none of you reading my blog knows who is boss. he was my 2-7 classmate and he used to be severely overweight. and now he's in judo and can do 10 pullups. what an achievement. i feel ashamed.

anywayy, so we had steamboat after playing pool and arcade (again) at paradiz centre. but i didn't really play cuz my headache was killing me. so i bought panadols. steamboat was quite bad cuz we are all noobs and don't know how to cook properly, so in the end, we had to keep changing the aluminium foil cuz it kept getting burnt. then, after steamboat, we went to yanhan's hosue to stay over! and our main activity at yanhan's house was, as usual, mahjong and ps2. haha yup so that lasted till 5am then we konked out. i woke up at 830 the next morning (ie today) and continued playing ps2 till 11 plus. then we went home!

ahh. so cool. i played pool, arcade, went to partyworld, played soccer, ps2, mahjong, ate steamboat, and most importantly, met up with my friends. what an eventful week. what more can i ask for. these are the activities i will miss, these are the people i'll miss, and these are probably the people who will miss me, when our lives change after graduation...

and there's still more to come in the next 3 days! such as, tomorrow! i'm having a class outing to sentosa! hope it'll be fun. but i'm so tired now i don't know whether i can do anythign tomorrow. but nonetheless, 楽しみにしているんだ!

地元の人ですか

今日は久しぶりに中学校の友達と遊んできた！ほんとーに久しぶりだね。皆楽しく過ごしたと思うよ。ならよかったね。まずはカラオケに行った。カラオケといってもさ、なんかもう歌えなくなっちゃったような気がする。どうしたんだろ。でも皆仲良く歌ってたのでうれしいんだよ。その後は昼飯を食べてからビリアードをやった。それからアーケードにも行った。皆別々な学校に分かれていてもこんなに仲良く外出できたりするなんて珍しいんだね。いわば貴重な友情だっていうことだね。そして散髪に行った。新しい髪形はあんまり好きじゃないけど、しょうがないなあ。もう切れてるから。

and something interesting happened when i went to cut my hair. It was a newly opened salon. so the lady asked me, "Hi, are you a local?"
I replied, "Yup."
"Oh you don't look local. So where are you from?"
Stunned by the question, I thought to myself, "Doesn't local mean i am from singapore?" So i was like, "Yah i'm from Singapore."
Den she asked again, "I mean, where do you live?"
.......
Okay. So that was what she meant by, "Where are you from?"
I thought only in big countries like Japan or China where 'local' doesnt tell anything about where one person is from.

もう・・・

悲しっ！どうも感じるだけだけど・・なぜかな。さあ・・・

ところで、今日は中秋節だ！まあ、別に何もしなかったけど・・ただ従兄弟と提灯を持って散策してきた。そして写真いっぱい撮ったっすよ。

Happy MidAutumn Festival! Sian, how fun can it get when you know that there's chem paper tomorrow. argh...
anyway... photos!

My cousin and I! Yah, it looks quite dark. but it can't be helped. cuz if i use flash..........



It'll look like those kind of electronic lanterns that have run out of batteries.



Another one!

Sian

ahhh so sian... i'm really feeling as if prelims have ended. ahh i need to remind myself that it hasn't!! i still have 2 more important papers! especially chem, cuz it's going to decide whether i get lousy grades or lousier grades! ahh... help help. how do i make myself studyyyyy

Maybe

wahh... finally get to rest... hmm actually i've been resting a lot. haha but anyway, i felt like prelims was over after today. and i HOPE it ended todayy!! cuz if not, i can't go for waseda shibuya carnival! arghhhhhhhhh......

anywayy, let's see. jap was fine. just that i changed my correct answers to the wrong answers (like i always do), somehow i know that first impressions are always correct, but i can't resist the temptation of changing my answers. SIGH.... math was OKAY. but i've gotten a few wrong. aiya. we shouldn't talk about exams after exams. that's so unlike me. okay. i can't say anything until i get my papers back. cuz the last time i thought i did quite well for math, i realized i didn't when i got them back.

so yup.. time to rest for a while, before preparing for the final two days next week! yayyy i'm going to partyworld next week! and i get to meet my cathigh friends again! i miss them!!

Quarternary Ammonium Salt

SIGH... tink i kind of screwed my math paper 1 todayy. It was all fine until the last question where i had to choose between two questions, one on first order differential equations, and the other one vectors. unfortunately i'm hopeless in both topics, but i had to choose between one of them, so i chose first order DE. it was all fine until the last part, where the moment i see the question, i knew it's beyond me. so after attempting for a few minutes, i gave up. and i thought, maybe i should try the vectors question. and i stupidly did. So i started doing vectors, and i realized i'm not so confident about vectors after all. so after trying like half the question, i thought,maybe i shouldn't be so indecisive. so i went back to do my first order DE. but it was too late. i've already wasted like 15 min. oh shit... and with 15 min left, i was still stuck at the last part. so i gave up, and went back to a previous question which i left blank (also cuz i knew it's beyond me the moment i looked at the question).

ahhh. i guess it's alright if i can't do a question, cuz if i really can't do, it can't be helped. but unfortunately, at the last few min of the exam, i went to check my first question. AND i found out a stupid mistake i made! ahhh. i cancelled the whole thing and started writing the new working. but before i could find anything, time was up!! oh my god. that really made me panic and i suddenly felt that i have no confidence in my other answers, cuz i could have possibly made such a stupid mistake for other questions. die die.

oh well. all is over, and what i can do now is to work harder for paper two and make up for my loss in paper 1, HOPEFULLY. tomorrow is chem paper. and i'm quite sure i'm going to die for it, after trying the last year rj prelim paper which was totally -cannot make it-.

i was all worked up again just now when i started revising for chem. i put my notes in front of me, and started to link up wat i learnt. but my mind was totally blank. i tink that's what people call blacking out. i sat there for half an hour, trying to figure out what my notes is talking about. omg i'm glad i blacked out just now, and not tomorrow at the same time, where i'll be sitting in the hall for my chem paper. and knowing the standard for rj chem, i can't afford to lose ANY time. so there, good luCK to me~

excessive morning sleepiness

shit. today's sunday times says that excessive morning sleepiness is due to depression or even diabetes. die already. now i know why...

stupidity brings u to nowhere

today, we exhibited stupidity. after staying over at sk's house, i woke up in the morning, and realized i would be late for our mugging date. so i rushed out and went home to change out first before going to bugis to meet my fellow loser, jon fang. and as expected, he was terribly late. but it was alright, cuz i met many japs at bugis station! ahhh. i wanted to approach them, but there was no reason to do so. haha. then there was this jap couple who looked troubled at the ticketing machine, but before i could approach to help them, they figured out what they wanted to do. ahh zannen!

anyway, when he came, we went for lunch, before rushing off the national library to mug. this time, we were stopped by the guard at 7th storey and were asked to put our bags in the lockers. so we did, as instructed. then just after we put in the coins, he came and said that only blank sheets of paper and writing materials are allowed. that meant that we aren't allowed to bring in our mugging materials. shit! we just wasted 20cents for the locker. i tink it's really a smart way of cheating our money. never mind, we just did a good deed today! =) by donating 20 cents each to Lee Kong Chian Reference Library. (yay so now we've got 5 full marks!!)

so after idling for a while, we decided that the best place to mug was at home. so we went home. wow, it's 2 days to prelims and we still had time to go to town to have lunch, then go home after that. it was a bad bad dayy.

but luckily, someone managed to make my day today! =) yay, today wasn't a bad day after all! haha...

funny sites

hahaha omg these two are damn funny sites.

Guardian Angel's lyrics!



haha i couldn't catch the 从我抽到?的?片起, but thanks to my guardian angel... =)

sad sad day...

today is a sad sad day. so was yesterday. sometimes it's not easy to live in a modern society like ours today. every second spent playing, or slacking, pinches my conscience and gives me a pang of guilt. the thought of not studying, and lagging behind someone else, comes haunting every time i harbour the thought of slacking. such is the world we live in. comfort? think twice.

exams aren't everything. everyone says that; everyone knows that. but in the end, we know deep in our hearts that yes, it does matter. like what the foreign affairs guy said, elitism is everywhere. or rather, meritocracy is. so we can't escape it. we just have to face it.

the day of graduation draws nearer and nearer. i'm starting to miss my cathigh friends. i wonder how they are doing, and what are their plans after alevels. i realized how much time we have left together. after graduation, we'll go NS. hopefully we can still meet up often then. and soon, after NS, i'll leave this place, leaving behind my friends. i wonder where my friends are going. hmmm. and one sad thing i realized is that, i don't have a photo taken with my best friends. i should take one soon, lest i lose that chance...

anywayy, time to sleep. good night!

必要ありません

早稲田渋谷の先生方にメール送って質問した結果、こんな返事があった。「なお、教育学部の受験にはGCE（Aレベル）の受験は特に必要ありません。」って・・・また、そのウエーブサイトを見たら、「講義と入学試験はすべて日本語で行われるので、十分の日本語能力を持たないとだめだって。ということで、Aレベルの後は本当の始まりだ。今まで勉強してきた知識を日本語に訳すことだ。

ahh... anyway still have to study for alevels. argh. and i'm going to die for prelims. die die all the papers are so hard!!!
