hmm. Seems like there isnt much to blog about of late. Or maybe its just due to my lack of attention for the stuff which happens around me. Either way, there is still this one thing which sticks in my mind like a stalk of rose sticking out of a pile of dung (weird personification, i know. but i cant think of anything more vivid than this one. =X)

That is, the MT 'O' level listening exam. Initially, i thought that listening would be a piece of cake. I thought wrong. It really looks as if the MOE really want us to think more. Unlike the previous year papers, the answers arent straightforward. Most of them cannot be found in the passage itself. It need you to think! Warning to people taking O level MT listening next year: keep your ears peeled and mind ready to form conclusions about what you heard.

But i really want to slap myself for something careless. Damn bloody careless. Question 2's answer was supposed to be 'b', but i shaded 'a' instead. Realised that after i handed in the answer sheet. After i realised that, it was like "OH ****!! DIE!! @#^*%@#^%" =.=
Sian. One mark lost just like that. zzz


Had bio SPA today. Really interesting cos we're dealing with live specimens for the first time here. If you were wondering, the live specimens were catfish (no, not the big ones. We used the baby ones. Only 2-3cm long). The experiment was on respiration, so gotta place the fish in hydrogen carbonate solution and watch the solution turn yellow as it turned acidic from the carbon dioxide released by the fish. But the thing is, all the fish did was to stone. I mean, it literally stoned la. It just stayed there, not moving unless you shook the boiling tube slightly. If u didnt see the gills moving, you could've taken it for dead.

Lawton knocked over a test tube contaning a fish. I had to get KY to wake up (he was sleeping) to get the fish back into the solution cos lawton dun dare to touch it. In the end, KY used a pair of forceps to giap it back into the solution. And guess which part of the fish he giaped? It was the head. =.= After that, the fish had this red spot (of what i think is blood) under its head where there shouldn't be. I think its suffering from internal bleeding. =.= Poor fish.

Oh yeah, teck li ate some fish food. According to him, it tastes like chicken. Crazy. zzz. Maybe he is a fish by nature. =.=

Anything else? i dun think so. Ok then, i'll just end here.

Friday, glorious friday. The best day of the week. Actually, this week wasnt that bad, since it was quite jolly. This is especially true for thurday and today.

Thursday started off as a great joke. Let's just put it at something involving jumping on benches which has chilli sauce packets located at the bottom of the bench legs. Result: chilli sauce everywhere. Including on books, walls, benches and even hair. xD My sincerest apologies to those whose uniform got stained. =X You should have seen their faces though. xD

Got back my CCA records as well. To my great, great, great^10000 surprise, I got an A!!! Like, omgzxzxzx!! I was expecting nothing more than a B la. The last time i checked (thats about june last year), I was having trouble getting a C. =.= Looks like joining all those dumb competitions like Commonwealth Essay writing and robotics werent in vain after all. =D And perhaps i should also thank the school for assigning me to do CIP to push me from B3 to A2. WHEE!!

And today during PE, I surpassed all expectations, both public and personal, by jumping 2.4m for standing broad jump. Whoo! Thats another step closer to Gold (got 17 points at the moment). Only got shuttle run and pull-ups left. Hope that i dun screw up my pull-ups though. I can only do 8 at the moment. Although thats an A for my age, its a big deprovement from my last year's 11. =.= Perhaps growing heavier by nearly 10kg plays a part.. zzz

Another reason for me to pop the champagne bottle is that I've finally finished by D&T workpiece. WHOO! Finally, after so many long days of staying back, ITS FINISHED!!!
And if i might say so myself, its a great piece of work. Albeit having some minor and nearly unnoticable flaws. Wahaha.

Oh, and kelvin was gonna meet amanda for a candlelight lunch at 201 kopitiam before zu an and i foiled his plan. Haha, joking joking. xD But he did get trapped out of his house for an hour cos he didnt bring his house keys out. Maybe he went to look for amanda. LOL. Thats first blood.

And someone, got scammed by the dentist into thinking that she can take off her braces today. In the end, only got to get an X ray and have to wait till the next month to get it off. Haha. This is double kill.

Perhaps my finger getting cut and stung like crazy when i accidentally allowed acetone (some solvent used in D&T) to come in contact with it is the triple kill.

Ok, i dun know wads with me and the dota stuff, seeing as i nvr really liked dota. =.=

A dumb joke to end this post off. (You need to learn amath to get this one. )

A mathematician went insane and believed that he was the differentiation operator. His friends had him placed in a mental hospital until he got better.
All day he would go around frightening the other patients by staring at them and saying "I differentiate you!"
One day he met a new patient; and true to form he stared at him and said "I differentiate you!", but for once, his victim's expression didn't change.
Surprised, the mathematician marshalled his energies, stared fiercely at the new patient and said loudly "I differentiate you!", but still the other man had no reaction.
Finally, in frustration, the mathematician screamed out "I DIFFERENTIATE YOU!" The new patient calmly looked up and said, "You can differentiate me all you like: I'm e to the power of x."

Lol, whatever. Byebye.. wow, this is a long post.. >.<

This blog is getting half dead. But i simply cant find time to blog anymore. So much to do, yet so little time. Yes, i know thats cliched, but hey, its true isnt it?

Anyway, the Night Study Program was total crap. Couldnt concentrate at all thanks to teck yang and ezra. The dim lighting didnt help either. However, i am willing to give it another chance. Perhaps next time round, i'll sit somewhere else quieter and brighter.

Went for DnT at 3.55pm today, only to find mr zainal closing up the workshop. But we managed to persuade him to close it at 4.30 anyway. Finished my soldering today. Like, finally.. =.= What? Its not that easy ok? Not when the parts are 5mm in diameter and would move out of place at the slightest touch. Accomplishing such a feat requires SKILL. =D

Haiz, got amath test tmr. Thats news bad enough by itself. Whats worse was that i only found out today! zzz

Forget it. No point complaning about it here. Rather spend the time revising.

P.S. Kelvin stalks _ _ _ _ _ _ all the time!! BE CAREFUL!! xD

Somehow, i think i've lost the drive to blog. Perhaps i am starting to prioritise better now. Unimportant stuff aside, important stuff in front. Currently, the important thing is to score well for prelims, and subsequently, the O levels.



But i guess i'll still blog when i am free, just to keep this blog alive. If i do not, then i think i'll be busy loading knowledge into my brain. But either way, the frequency of my posts will get longer and longer.

...

Dunno wad to say..

...

Oh yeah, i think i half screwed up my O level chinese oral. Started to read the words wrongly for the 2nd last part of the passage onwards. Conversation was worse. Like, what are we supposed to say for inflation?! Talked about the oil prices rising. Dun think it was enough though. zzz. Perhaps chinese gone case already. Need to focus on the rest of the subjects. Anyway, i dun think i am relying on my chinese for the l1r5. I was never really good at chinese.



Tongue Tied - Faber Drive

Bright cold silver moon
Tonight alone in my room
You were here just yesterday
Slight turn of the head
Eyes down when you said
I guess I need my life to change
Seems like something's just aren't the same
What could I say?

I need a little more luck than a little bit
Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit
And every time that I try I get tongue tied
I'll need a little good luck to get me by

I need a little more help than a little bit
Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet
Cuz every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by this time

I stare up at the stars
I wonder just where you are
You feel a million miles away
(I wonder just where you are)
Was it something I said?
Or something I never did?
Or was I always in the way?
Could someone tell me what to say to just make you stay?
I need a little more luck than a little bit

Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit
And every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by
I need a little more help than a little bit
Like the perfect one word no one's heard ye
tCuz every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by this time

I know it feels like the end
Don't want to be here again
And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again
What it takes I don't care
We're gonna make it I swear
And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again
Again

I need a little more luck than a little bit
Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit
But every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by
I need a little more help than a little bit
Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet
Cuz every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by this time

I know it feels like the end
Don't want to be here again
And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again
What it takes I don't care
We're gonna make it I swear
And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again
