just wanna sat a few things..
it's come to a part where i feel that i should explain smth about myself. i'm the kind of person who doesn't talk during trips to sch and home. specifically saying it will be on buses or trains, on the way home.
so don't get the wrong idea if i dao you and you think that i'm ignoring you or smth. that's me. i can't changed the habit of doing that. so if anyone of you felt offended by it then i apologise.
other things like.. sometimes i flare up easily. like today i was kind of flaring at teng hui cause he was just playing with me. in actual fact, i may flare up but most of the time i'm not angry. it's that nowadays i'm feeling tired. so i might flare up easily.
yeah. so results wasn't that good so far. only for my d&t. 36 1/2 upon 50. i'm still waiting for my 3 1/2 marks. that new teacher mr tan didn't mark one of my qn. most d&t students might know who he is. he's that guy who has been rated 2 stars for his strictness and it was shown on the plasma tv. haa. everyone who saw that was laughing at him.
d&t's fun now. especially now that i've heard quite a lot of stories about this new teacher. he's actually quite nice. think that he's trying to adapt to tk's environment. so here's what i heard about him :
1. he believes in ghost and is afraid of it.
2. someone actually told him stories that the buffering machine inside the technical workshop is haunted. it spins on its own without any power supply. so after knwing that, he doesn't dare to be alone inside the workshop.
3.he believes that man evolved from apes.
4. he and miss seah can't get along well.
i can prove pt 4 that it's true. take today for an example. miss seah was going through the paper. and it was actually marked by mr tan. so during the process of going through, there were quite alot of mistakes either made in the marking or calculation. i'm not really sure about that cause i'm sitting at the back and most people were arguing for their marks.
it came to a pt when i realise that one qn of mine wasn't marked. which would actually give me 3 1/2 marks more. so i went forward to miss seah to get what i deserved. so after checking my paper, instead of giving me my 3 1/2 marks, she circled my name on the name list and said that she'll check with mr tan.
i was like =.=???
i mean, you're the teacher and of course you have the authority to give me the marks. and before that mr tan was actually in the coe. he walked past miss seah, without saying anything, not even a " hi. "
another pt would be that the miscommunication of the definetions of the words that we needed to know for the common test.
let me show you an example and compare the difference in ans. between mr tan and miss seah.
Facing - it is causing the tool to move at right angles to the axis of the lathe therefore / thereby producing a flat surface. / the process of cutting the end of a bar by moving the tool perpendicularly to the axis of rotation. [ miss seah's ans. ]
Facing - to make the end flat and perpendicular to the axis [ mr tan ]
you see the difference between the two ans?.
another example :
Tapering - is to cut a taper ( conical surface ) by moving the cutting tool at an angle of its axis of rotation [ miss seah ]
Tapering - to create a conical surface [ mr tan ]
there's actually an explaination for this. if you were to compare, you can see the trend that mr tan's ans is easy to rmb and quite short, compared to miss seah ans. but know why the reason he did this?. because he thinks that at our level we should only be learning that. contradictingly, miss seah wants us to learn her way of ans. cause that's the O level way of ans.
so most of us were quite baffled on which one to rmb. but for me i went to learn miss seah's way. what happen if when O level they ask what's the meaning of tapering?. if i write mr tan's way i would probably get 1 out of 3.
so can see from the above evidence that miss seah and mr tan somehow can't get along. both are d&t teachers. mr tan has 8 years experience while miss seah has 3. one is young and the other is not so young.
see what happens when you get 2 adults of 2 different generations together?. they can work together, but can't work with each other.

half day today was quite okay.. went out with a couple of people to watch Rumour Has It.
quite a nice show. nice story. it's actually based on a true story. haa. jennifer ainston looked quite pretty in the scene where she had her hair curled at the end when she's attending a ball.
then after that the rest went bowling so i left for church. Video and Photography Ministry Training. haa. i finally got full marks for a test in church!. 16/16. haa. but that was nth. cause it's actually easy and if you studied.. can get full marks.
there was one part where i had to promote EVBS and guess that i wrote :
" Experience smth that you have not experienced before.
Do smth that you have never done before.
Feel God's love,
and accept Him into your life on EVBS.
Everything to gain, nothing to lose. "
So Sister Evelyn was saying that i could rmb every single thing that pastor says during service. haa
i'm not sure if it was just a coincidence.. or is it God's plan.. haa. i'm in two minitries.. that can be counted as those which play an important part and a stressful job as well. i've just realised that about a day or two after i got deployed. still under training. yeah.
as the verse goes : " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me "

got back for physics paper. i got 18.
this is the first time that i ever fail a paper that badly.
my mum doesn't know about this though. still don't know how to approach her on that.
" hey mum, look, i got 18 for physics. 18 upon 50. " [ she'll start jumping and screaming " why?"]
" only 4 people in my class managed to pass the paper (not true) and the highest in the level is only 30. what do you expect?. " [ she'll give me the suspicious face ]
but after all, what can be done?. i studied so hard for it and this is the result that i get. you're gonna see my name at the bottom of the list when they compile the marks of the whole cohort.
today is the last day of common test so went bowling with 2E clique. rusty now.
then Esplanade for CG outing. haa. was fun. haagen dazs for dinner. haa. shared with 4 other people of course. i'm not that rich.
they even have their own steamboat style but with ice-cream, cake, cookies, banana, strawberry..
tmr is half-day.. kind of lame. putting it on a friday when sch actually ends at 12.40 on a normal friday. not much difference.
now i have to study for photography and video ministry test. keeps my brain going. haa.
peace out.

other papers were quite okay EXCEPT for some like physics.
totally a killer. they could even test you on your comprehensive level of a passage. this is ridiculous. the subject is physics and not english.
but somehow that particular question on diamond comprises of both. tmr is chinese and add maths. and after that i'm gonna be free from the " cage " once again.
chinese is now no longer tested on things in the syllabus. it will be outside curriculum things now. comprehension and cloze passage. this is like.. primary sch english?. even primary sch english has MCQ in the front for you to score.
it seems that now the two languages are hard to score now. esp with english as L1.
it's cool to have headphones like that, ain't it?.
alright amirul, we are quits now aren't we?. i still can't believe that i got picked to answer a silly question during the sexuality education. out of more than a 100 people, comprising of all upper sec guys, why does it have to be me?.
yeah, so amirul, stop your nonsense. still can't believe smth else. out of all the people to believe, you people have to believe the rubbish that amirul said about me?. IT DIDN'T COME OUT OF MY MOUTH. so the source could be referred as unreliable.
i'm so gonna miss 2 S.O.W lessons because of the leadership camp and sec 2 cohort camp. sleeping on hard, solid, concrete ground.. many activities that you won't expect to be able to participate for last year's camp.
it's not that i'm excited about it. i wouldn't be as i have to miss lessons both in sch and in church. miss one day of sch.. that's it for you. got hell lots of things to learn and catch up. why can't they just put it in june as it was last year and the previous years?. always have to clash with my personal things. that's what happen when you have people like ballbinder singh as HOD for CCA Leadership. he screws things up for everyone except for himself.

you guys should read today's newspaper.
teenagers below the age of 17 now can't be on streets after 11pm. if you get caught by the police, that's it. you parents will get a call.
saw the heading and i'm like : " =.=? how can they do this?."
just because some stupid bunch of teenagers commit crimes doesn't mean we good civilians hae to suffer with them.
i can't really blog now. maybe when i clear up my work then i'll blog about it. meanwhile, you have to read today's papers!

the typical february 14th of every year. valentine's day. for me this year, was full of sweets and dozing off in class. thanks for the sweets btw. weiting and sophia. haa. =)
i wonder who can actually have a perfect celebration today. the weather is extremely warm and with long pants.. i can't take it.
imagine tonight.. all the parks would be empty.. all couples would resort to going to air-conditioned places instead.
what most people will think is that valentine's day is actually a good chance and meant to express your love for another person. so the word " love " never seems to lack.

4. Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring and suffering.

6. Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends. You order what you want, and when you see what the other person has, you wish you had ordered that instead.
7. There was this man who muttered a few words in the church and found himself married. A year later he muttered something in his sleep and found himself divorced.
8. A happy marriage is a matter of giving and taking; the husband gives and the wife takes.
9. Son: How much does it cost to get married, Dad? Father: I don't know son, I'm still paying for it.
10. Son: Is it true Dad? I heard that in ancient China, a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her. Father: That happens everywhere, son, EVERYWHERE!
11. Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.
12. They say that when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage,it is love; after marriage it is self-defense.
13. When a newly married man looks happy, we know why. But when a 10-year married man looks happy, we wonder why.
14. There was this lover who said that he would go through hell for her.They got married, and now he is going through HELL.

23. Losing a wife can be hard. In my case, it was almost impossible.

AHHH!. I WANNA GO CHURCH!.
i'm sitting my butt on my chair coughing my way off. actually i wanted to go but..
here are two scenrios which made me not want to :
1. i'm coughing when Pastor's preaching. that's already bad enough. like i'm not giving any respect.
2. i'm coughing when alter-call. that's doubly bad and worse.
so now my life is already boring enough. so now my every post will be like having pictures posted up there. so yeah, forgive me if you don't like that. i mean, life is already boring enough and i don't even know what to post at times. so sometimes pictures do help livin things up.
haa. it looks so cool in the dark.
so i was just thinking about my past results for the past 2 years and one thing that really gets me interested was my art. haa! ART.
haa. now i'm going to show you all some of my greatest works for the past two years.
that's the stupid dotting assignment in conjunction with IPW. osteoporosis
guess how much i got :
10 over 20.
that's the sports topic for art.
this was my heading. haa
haa. do you get a lil bit of idea how lousy my art was?. and we were all forced to take up this stupid subject that is counted for streaming. i'm like. WTH?. man, i failed my art in streaming.
that was my stupid final layout. (draft)
art exam. didn't have enough time to finish it.
yeah. you should understand the level of my art even better now.
past
present
future. i want the future tie to be black. haa
how do you expect me to draw well using some stupid pen, to draw on an electornic board and using a software Artdabbler?. come on, i can't even draw well using pencil on paper.
yeah. that was some of my art pieces. so the last day of sch last terence and i had some fun looking at other people's art. haa. some of them were good while some of them were suprising.
the reason why i hated art so much is that i can't draw and i have to cause it's counted in streaming. i'm like come'on, do i look like someone who can draw?. and the best part of all this is that i had a D7 for art for streaming. pulled down my avg. like hell.
man, i'm feeling so relieved and fortunate that i'm in double-science right now cause my avg. didn't hit 65. it was way below. all because.. of art. i would have strangled tan mui mui to death if i didn't get it.
and i was thinking, guys who can draw very well. the first person i think of is lemuel. he got a freaking A1 for that. was it because he's handsome and have that accent that brought him an A1?. no offence for using you as an example, lemuel. well, it's basically he can draw well i think, nvr seen his work before.
how could you judge someone whether he's smart or not by whether can he draw well?. this kind of system for streaming is utterly ridiculous.
well, there were some parts which i enjoyed doing. but there's only one :
i enjoyed playing with valerie tan's face.

haa. okae. now i shall update since my mum asked me to do so. haa. rachel, here it is.
the past week hasn't been kind to me. suffering from cough since the day before chinese new year. until now i have yet to recover.
i would cough like hell in class. having the need to pop strepsils into my mouth and soothing candy like this :
i have to pop one every few mins in order to cough less
haa. so alicia was just telling me that she got caught for eating in class. so now i know how fortunate i am to be able to eat sweets in class. but for a reason. but i would rather not to have cough just to be able to eat sweets in class.
yeah, so finally went do the doc after a week of continuous torture. so i went there, got a couple of bottles of medicine and then came back home. guess what i got :
the two world trade centre towers, a pentagon and another don't know what.
so now i have to take medicine before and after my meals in order to recover. totally troublesome. but what to do?. have to take them in order to recover.
now computer club will be going to Infocom club. haa. sound very chim and high-tech right?. haa. we're going to learn new syllabus like video editing, game development and others like graphics editing, smth like that. haa. wanna know why?.
the IDA of Singapore sent an e-mail to TK asking whether computer club is willing to take up infocom from them. they will then send a trainer down to teach us. the whole module is about 3 years and at the end of that, we would need to complete a project and submit to IDA for competition use. haa. then there would be a subsidy of $10,000.
then next week i have to accompany my cca cher-in-charge to talk and discuss with the IDA representative. haa. wahh. cool right?. i get to put my talking skills to use. haa. the future of computer club is in my hands.
in the other hand, i don't really care about that. cause anyway next year june i'm stepping down. what'smore i'm not taking computer studies or any IT courses in poly. so i don't see what i can benefit from this course which can help me in the future.
but anyway, this is what i have to say for now. i'm actually squeezing my time through to get this post done. alot of test and revision to do. haa.
