Gunbound is so fun, yet I am always the one who started the latest, so I lag behind others in terms of rank. But who cares? The fun is the most important. Perhaps because I like playing worms or maybe liero but don't have the programs. Hope I don't get addicted to it, which will most likely not be the case with my brother fighting with me for the comp...

Oh yeah I just finished my lunch. Looks like a 3 hr preparation can just be finished in 10 minutes. Haiz... How did my lunch get so troublesome...

Today's lunch was a complete flop. Why? My mother decided to make some satays for lunch, so we have made some 20 sticks of chicken, preparing to cook it. Then she found that the stick is too large for the oven, so xin1 xue4 lai2 chao2, decided to cook in the charcoal stove. No fire starter, no dry sticks and leaves, how to start fire? So she took the charcoal and burn it over the gas stove, and then transfer it to the charcoal stove. Good loh, fancy doing so many things just to cook 20 sticks of satay, really damn lao2 shi1 dong4 zhong4. Ok now I haven't had my lunch yet, and the charcoal hasn't even shown signs of amber. Have to help out now... Sigh...

Argh... These past few days have been very sian for me, particularly because there is nothing to do, other than seeing my PRC friends off at the airport. Grrr... SO when you all want to go to the BodyWorld exhibition?

Friday, November 14, 2003

Ok, you have probably seen my blogs for the last 3 days. Felt so tired and focusing on PW in the last few days forced me not to blog even though I would really want to blog. After that CIP I really felt so tired that I fell asleep immediately after doing the regular things after coming back. Then I was busy preparing for PW the next day. Then after PW I thought I could slack and use the computer for the whole day but Found my brother using the computer playing Warcraft III. And I felt so tired that I fell asleep again.

Never had this feeling before, but I hope I won't have it again, because it showed a lack of adaptation from normal life to the exams period, I deduced. Which I think I was slacking normally. Am I? If I were then I really wasted a whole year. And adding on to that I don't feel a sense of achievement after this year AT ALL!!! Perhaps I'm too busy dealing with another stuff after completing a task. Or maybe I failed too many times this year. Time to reflect. But reflection is no use because I would probably forget everything next year. Hmmm... I think I will just KIV until I rested enough to do so.

Recently I saw that many people wanted to go for the BodyWorld Exhibition. I also wanted to go loh, just that I haven't stated my interest in going due to recent events. I gather Weixin and Junrong and his friend are going. Anybody more wants to go? Especially it is so near my house... Haha.

Oh yah last thing, should I change my blog template? Looks terrible compared to other blogs, isn't it?

PW IS FINALLY OVER!!!

Finally I can set my minds off PW. I think I had a gruelling year dealing with PW, because it just added to our curriculum, not a change in our curriculum!!! It's just like taking Chinese O levels in Sec 3, when that eats into our Sec 3 life, but then Chinese is so much so much easier than PW!!! At least you don't need to devote the whole year to Chinese!!! Hack, I'm just going to forget all about PW, or else it is going to haunt me again. Oh well, perhaps it will do when we get our results next year.

Life doesn't seem to be hapier after PW. I felt that I'm still going through a hectic lifestyle even after all the exams. Perhaps this is the transition state between the exams period and the holiday mood. But this year the feeling is just not there. I strongly believe that 90% of the reason is that this year has been too academically-intensive, causing the transition to be going to gradually. And before I know it, it will be the start of the year again...

Sigh...

Ok, tomorrow is my PW, and I still haven't got my cue cards ready! Well I think I am just going to screw up for this. But then the rehearsals still went quite smoothly, of course without me calling for a restart. Perhaps it is confidence building up since I read my script so many times already, but then I hope it won't fall tomorrow.

Then I went to Jervis house to play pool and tennis. I thought that is purely self-destruction, fancy going to play before OP. But heck care lah. My tennis still sucks, and I'm still better in table tennis, basketball, badminton, soccer... but not tennis. My pool also not bad, but then pool is not a sport. At least I don't see it as a sport.

Oh well, I just came back from a CIP at the University Cultural Centre for a kindergarden graduation ceremony cum concert. Well the backstage was such a maze, with 3 storeys of dressing rooms and a gigantic music studio and many more!! Basically it was a rather nothing-to-do day... I was the "curtains" manager, in charge of closing and opening the curtains. Seems an easy task, but then when i hear the organiser and the stage manager rumbling "Easy task but very important you know? DON'T screw it up!" I feel quite excited. But then the probability of screwing up is really quite little. Then interesting events followed up. Not bad I must say, because the kids were rather noisy and we need to hush them. But then it was so tiring, after a whole morning of PW rehearsals and then 7 hours of this. So I'm just going to sleep, too tired, and tomorrow there will be another round of PW rehearsals.

Why do they schedule our PW on Thursday?!?!

I went to school for PW rehearsal today, then something totally unrelated with PW happened. So a girl sitting opposite my class bench suddenly collapsed, and 4 female cleaners immediately approached her and helped her out. Although I felt I should help but there was no need for my help since they were already crowding over there. So the girl was gasping for breath, breathing so furiously. I thought it was hyperventilation because there was no wheezing sound, but I couldn't confirm since I never met with a case of hyperventilation before. Zao Hiong asked me if it was asthma, and quickly passed them an inhaler. Luckily it was rejected by the cleaners, so confirmed hyperventilation and I passed them a paper bag prepared for such cases. Ok it was not sterile, but it proved effective as after 1 min of breathing in and out of the paper bag the girl calmed down and the breathing turned normal. Then the cleaners were there comforting, you know I sometimes felt that they also know first aid, but then we just never saw them in action. Then none of my business and I told the crowd to back off for her to get some fresh air. Everybody ignored me. Then return to my class bench to do my PW stuff. Then Mr Phillip Thomas arrived with sandwiches and coffee. So it was for good deed but then proved useless. Then Mr Ang arrived and comforted her and asked some questions. Then Mr Pang came down and looked. Then Mdm Jennifer Tan also came down and looked. Suddenly it all looked like a staff gathering. Haha. Hey but now I have an experience and the paper bag was miraculous!!! Felt like attended another lesson on first aid. Hehe.

PW still sucks anyway, up to today when I rehearsed numerous times, but I still got too nervous and nearly forced a restart which was intolerable during the actual OP. So I needed to calm myself down. Calm down, calm down...

Thursday, November 06, 2003

Oh yes, I received my results slip today and my civics tutor told me that I have underperformed. Oh well, I guessed so, judging from my results. She actually think quite highly for me. But too bad I let her da4 die1 yan3 jing4.

But there's another main event today.

Outing!!! We haven't had an official outing since about 2 months ago liao, or even after the start of Term 3. Time flies so fast. And today 17 out of 24 people came out!! So happy. Played zong1 ji2 mi4 ma3 and sorts of games. Go arcade and spot for differences and played bishi bashi. So fun, but then the button was spoilt so I keep banging on the button. In the end I got a bruise and the part is swollen. Grr...

And we watched Matrix Revolutions. Nice conclusion for a series, but then not very spectacular in terms of plots and ending, although the graphics is still very nice. I always thought that there might be a sequel to this movie, but of course most likely there won't be.

Encountered some bad things or bad luck today though. PW dry run was a TOTAL FLOP! I totally forgot my script and was too excited such that I asked for a repeat. So frustrating when you are trying to memorise the script the whole of yesterday. Then when we went to eat Pastamania after watching the movie, I was out of money. So I went to the bank, just to find that not only the bank was closed, one of the ATMs was spoilt. And so I have to join inthe long queue. Then after 10 minutes, when it is nearly my turn to withdraw money, THE ATM HAS NO MORE CASH!!! This is the first time I met with such scenarios, and I hope it will be the last. Poor lady in front. She queued up for so long and she could not withdraw when it was her turn to withdraw. And I had to borrow money from my friends. Or else I may end up washing the plates for Pastamania. Haha.

Ok... So the inevitable event has come, I need to appeal for S papers!!! So much ranting and whining should end here now.

I still don't understand why my ST is such a PW freak. Ok I don't know about the others but this week I have no tutorials BECAUSE ALL OF THEM ARE TAKEN UP BY PW!!! So much so that yesterday I had it from 9.20am to 2.15pm and today supposedly from 11.25am to 2.15pm. Tomorrow I thought I could enjoy my Matrix Revolutions with my class in the evening, BUT WE ARE INFORMED THAT WE WILL HAVE PW AGAIN!!! So it will start immediately after special CT session and will most likely extend to 2.30pm. Why must this happen... I want to be in holiday mood liao... And I must also skip MAC because of this.

So there goes my post-Promos days.

Monday, November 03, 2003

A restless Monday I must say, doing nothing for the day except for the usual stuff. And the usual stuff have been keeping me quite busy too.

So it is approaching the end of school term, with our dear PW oral presentation lurking around the corner. What can we do? Prepare loh.

Oh yah, the S paper list will probably be up tomorrow. Hope my name will appear under the Maths and Chem section, although I don't hope too much.

Looking forward to Matrix Revolution on Thursday.
