Start Of Mock Examinations.

Okay I think lessons in school are all boring so I shall not describe them.

Went to Lenson's house after school on Monday to do the English project. Gosh, being the 'news presenter', I had to wear a tie and blazer. Haha. Like, both Lenson and me didn't know how to tie a tie, so we searched YouTube.

Was like laughing like crazily at the ludicrous idea of 2 guys watching YouTube videos to learn how to tie a tie for an English project. In the end we relied on Lenson's cousin who's a prefect at Holy Innocents' Primary School. That got me laughing even more cause it's even more stupid to have to ask someone younger and of the opposite gender to teach us. Bleh.

Haha, filmed the intro and ending scenes. I think it's hard not to laugh when you're in front of a camera. Then we filmed stupid things like me drinking 'white wine' which is actually HL milk in a wine glass.

Tuesday was the start of the mock examinations. It's like instead of Mid Year Exams, we have mock examinations in the hall after school curriculum time. So students will not waste valuable time sitting for the mid year exams. Tuesday was Physics. Horrible, cause I didn't really study. =\ Forgot everything about acceleration and multiplied instead of dividing. I think the teacher marking my paper must have laughed when she saw that. =(

Wednesday was Chemistry mock exam. Again, didn't study much for this either. Sighs. Gave some horrid answers for characteristics of halogens too. =( But at least there's air conditioning in the hall. =D Although I got really cold cause my flu for some reason came back on Tuesday.

Went rock climbing after Chemistry. =D Got to know a few Sec 1s, like Stephen. Haha, although they were kind of hyper in the back of the van we took down to the centre? Tried out those more advanced kind of walls, super hard to do la. The moment you start climbing a few steps, you immediately feel the strain on your arms cause the wall juts outwards. Shall try again next Wednesday. =D

Thursday after school was English extra lessons. There was a talk by 9.87fm and performances by 2 local bands, but we didn't go cause English lessons clashed. Haha. Watched Planet Earth for English. The narrator has amazing English pronunciation skills, if I were him I'd probably laugh every few seconds.

Went with Stephen, Koon Tat, Denise and Xue Ee to eat at Botak Jones after that. =) Haha, it started raining when we reached Ang Mo Kio, and there was a huge thunderstorm and torrential rains. But everything ended in half an hour of so. Hail was reported in Bishan though.

Ate the double botak again. =D Then everyone started making stupid jokes and laughing. And me and Stephen started singing whenever a song we knew started playing on the radio near us.

Took 136 home after that, messaged stupid things to Yi Han with Koon Tat along the way.

Friday was NPCC training. Only about 5 sec 3s, so Woei Jiun and me went to help the logistics people, then I went to help teach the sec1s, then went for 1st class revision.

Went to cut hair with Eugene after that, then went home to prepare for 1st class.


That's about everything I did. Not including everyday lessons, like watching videos and sitting for a test during History, or running 2 rounds around the school and practicing Chin Ups for PE, and other random things.

Easter Weekend.

Okay wee haven't blogged in a long time again.

Woke up on Good Friday at around 8am, went for breakfast, then went to Church for service. Sermon was quite interesting to me cause I think it's cool the way the Good Friday message always seems so new every year. Maybe it's cause after 365 days you kind of seem to forget the past year's message, but ah whatever.

Went for lunch at Velocity after service, then went home. Finished Angels and Demons, and until now I have not returned it to Eugene yet. Blee.

Went out with sister to cell after that. Lots of people came cause it's a public holiday. =D And Guan You gave the sermon. =) Stayed back after that for a while to help clear the stage for a wedding, then went outside to wait for our parents to pick us up.

I realised that the seats outside the auditorium are new! Gosh, it's like I've always been accustomed to the old seats, the ones that have literally remained unchanged for as long as I can remember, and now their gone, replaced with fake plastic looking hard uncomfortable awkward ones. Okay, change is the only constant and all that philosophical stuff.

Woke up on Saturday at 8am, went to school to play basketball with Chee Sheng, Wei Kit and Hao Xiang first. Then we went for Campcraft training until 1pm? Then was a lunch break, ate at LJS, then went back to school. Boarded the bus for the Girl's Campcraft Competition.

I never knew that Home Team Academy had a swimming pool! After all the trainings, competitions, lectures, whatever. But I guess the place is so huge I probably don't know a million other things about that place.

The competition was postponed due to the rain. =X Had a bit of First Class test practice though, not exactly optimistic about my chances of passing the test. =( But whatever la, everyone thinks being good at English is a sure pass thing. It's not like I can just choose whether I want to use profound words or not. Sometimes it just flows subconsciously? But everyone's going to think I'm just showing off so there's no point explaining.

Went home for dinner, nothing much interesting after that except maybe that dinner was spaghetti. Haha I'm random. =)

Overslept for Church on Sunday. Bleah. Like I woke up at 10.30am la, which is like almost the end of service if I took the 1 hour bus ride to Church.

Went swimming in the afternoon with my father and sister. Haha. I haven't been in a swimming pool since class chalet last year. Place was super crowded though. =\

Went for dinner at Kovan. There was some promotion there giving out free Coca Cola Zero. Haha, like first time seeing so many people holding a similar object in their hands. Although I think Coke Zero tastes nothing like the real Coke. =D

That's kind of like everything that happened during Easter. Haha, nothing much la. Although it's like come next Easter O levels will have passed, and I'll either be in a JC or Poly, and I'll be so much taller than I am now(okay maybe not), and all that kind of introspective stuff.

No Physical Activity.

Haha, I'm supposed to be excused from any physical activity for a week because of that flu I had last Tuesday. No running, jumping, those kind of things. Blah.

So, went to school on Wednesday. Spent PE lesson running 2 rounds around the school (and finishing within the time limit although I walked for the second round =P), and practicing standing broad jump cause it's like impossible for me to jump la. I think it's my technique or something cause I can easily pass everything else.

Anyways, after PE was Geography. Had to do a mind map on two factors concerning industrial location in group of 4. Then was English. Then went for lunch at Macdonald's with Lenson, Jun Han and Jude. Then was Physics extra lessons.

But enough about boring school and PE lessons, haha. Went rock-climbing after school at West Coast Recreation Center. Signed up for it a few weeks back with Lenson. The place is like, an hour's ride from Hougang. Although the lesson was kind of basic? But anyways, got to climb once or twice, helped to belay the Sec 1s too. Blee, and I'm not supposed to do any physical activity too. Haha.

Thursday was horrible, had a Chinese test in the morning, then there was an English test where we had to write an essay. Maths extra lessons after school, then was supposed to do English project but Lenson wasn't free. Got tricked into doing the History essay on the Cold War by Jemaine, Koon Tat and Yi Han instead.

Walked home after school cause I have nothing better to do.

Splat.

Changed the header cause the last one looked pretty depressing. This one may or may not look more depressing too, depending on how you look at it. =D

Didn't go to school today! Not because I pon la, because of that horrid flu I got yesterday. Actually, I didn't know I would not be going to school until I woke up at 9am today. Went to have lunch and see a doctor at Compass Point in the afternoon, then went back home.

Slept the entire afternoon and evening away after that. Kind of wasted la, the one day I get free time to do whatever I want and I spend it sleeping. =X

Anyways, nothing much to blog about. Completed Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, and now I'm either pen-spinning, messing around online, or sleeping. =\

Caricature?

Haven't posted a picture thing for a long time now cause I'm surviving without a camera, but here's a drawing of me done by Eugene Tan the artistic genius.

If I'm not wrong, it was drawn in paint using my laptop during one of the NPCC camp preparation meetings we had during the holidays. Of course, I'm much more handsome in real life than in this drawing. And cuter, too.

Sneeze.

Okay I'm like sick now. Can't stop sneezing every few seconds. Gah.

Anyways, woke up on Sunday at the amazing time of 10pam. Around 12 hours of non-stop sleep. Of course, the usual sore muscles and cramps where there when I woke up. It's like a standard thing after any NPCC camp. And it was my father's birthday on Sunday. =D

Spent the morning doing Geography homework. Blee. My sis was studying a more detailed version of plate tectonics for her homework whilst I'm doing O level questions on plate tectonics and volcanoes.

Went for lunch at Jack's Place at Ang Mo Kio. =D Haven't eaten there in a long time. The place is now like, so different? Ate a ribeye steak, then went walking around Ang Mo Kio. Went home after that to do more homework.

Haha, I'm kind of satisfied to an extent that I managed to complete 2 O level questions for Geography, a worksheet for Chemistry, and 3 Maths questions. Okay there's still an essay for
History, more Maths questions, Chinese homework, and English. But we can always think positive right? =D

Went for dinner at the kopitiam near my house, then bought a small cake for my father secretly. Haha, but we were so full after dinner that we didn't eat the cake. =X

Monday was the start of term 2. Blarh. Had an attire check for all upper secondary students. Yay and Minghui is such a good student that the teacher did not look at him once! Okay maybe that's because I'm sitting right in front of the teacher and she was looking ahead at the rest of the class.

No Swimming Evolved to No PT during recess. Kind of weird how the 'code' transforms huh? From BD to BH to BHD to HG to BHG to Mercury to No Swimming to No PT. ;) /inside joke.

Was sneezing throughout most of the lessons. Horrible la. How can one concentrate when you have to reach for a piece of tissue every few minutes? English was the worst cause I started having a headache for no apparent reason. Slept on an off during English. =\

Went for lunch with Joshua and Hao Xiang at KFC, went home after that and slept from about 3.30 to 7. So now I'm suffering from sleep overdose. Soon I can be classified as hibernating or something, given that I've slept for 23+ hours the past 2 days.

Time for more sleep. =D

Combined Uniformed Group Camp 2008.

Okay my March 1 week holiday can be summarized accurately into 2 parts.

1. Preparing for the camp from Monday to Wednesday
2. Camp from Thursday to Saturday

Anyways, I was in charge of a group throughout the camp. Our group name was not chili crab, not black pepper crab, but Mr Krabs!Gosh, I think I'm getting lamer and lamer.

Okay, there was lots of activities and games throughout the three days. I would say about 13 different activities and games packed into 2 days not counting things like sentry duty and inter-uniformed group games. Hope the Sec1s enjoyed it, and thankfully nothing really bad cropped up during the camp.

Slept for about 2 and 1/2 hours for the first night and 3 and 1/2 hours for the second. So now I'm kind of like, O.O


Okay now for more random things that happened!


Was suddenly approached by Li Ming when I walked past his class on the first day of the camp at around 9.40am. Turns out I was in the Gears Of War team and not playing Halo 3. And the registration time was 11am on that same day at Funan Digital Life mall.

Told the instructors I had to leave for the camp, asked Joshua to help me take over my group(Mr Krabs!!), and then went with Li Ming to find Mr Chang's number, Kenneth's handphone number and Mr Sharom's number. The competition required 1 teacher and 3 students, and we were 1 student short.

Called around asking for numbers, then asked Kenneth to meet us at Funan, then asked Lenson also cause he has played Gears Of War. Met Mr Chang at the mall's atrium, then went to register.

Our time slot was actually at 11am, so we stalled for time whilst waiting for Lenson or Kenneth to come. In the end Kenneth came first, so we sat down and had about 15 minutes of warming up.

Haha. Having never played Gears Of War in my life ever, and having never played a First Person Shooter on PC since about Secondary 2, I can safely say that our team lost horridly. There were 10 rounds in total divided into 2 different maps, we lost 9 out of 10 rounds. The game itself it quite fun, very strategic kind requiring you to find cover quickly.

In case you think I'm making this all up. =D

Mr Chang fetched me back to school after that, then I went back to help out with the camp.


Had 1st class test lecture after the Sec 1's lights out at 11.30pm on the second night. Don't really have much confidence for 1st class. The amount of preparation needed is staggering. Like, planning for 4 parades? Using different methods of instruction for 13 commands chosen randomly from all the commands we have learned since Sec1? And the test date is tentatively 29th March. =/

Lecture ended at around 1.30am, went for a bath then Sentry Duty after that.


Lots of stupid things happened for us NCOs. Like, Chee Sheng and is that clear? Then there's 你奶奶.

Went for lunch at LJS after everything, then went home soon after.


Now, it's homework. =(
