So sad. Physics tutorial today becomes discussion of PW period. It is not PW discussion, but discussion of PW of the students with the teacher. So it starts from the fact that we still need to do PW in the midst of studying Promos (see last entry). Mr Ho looks quite agitated about it, and he strongly disagrees with this. But the most important thing he said is that many teachers have been raising voices to the MOE about this. Why should they add a PW element to our curriculum when the curriculum is so tight? Everytime he says until here he will say he sympathetises us for being in this batch. He claimed that student life last time is not as stressful as now. Sigh..

Everybody counting down to Promos liao. So happy. Promos over then over liao. Then hope I can achieve my target. Hope I won't fail any subjects and hope I won't be retained. And I hope that I won't be knocked out of the first knockout session in the Sports Festival. If so it will be so sian. So many hopes, and hopes sources from dreams. If only these dreams will come true...

Not say I want to say, but this is the first time I will say, and perhaps the last time, but I thought I have studied enough of Promos already, or rather I have had it?

I learnt from previous lessons since primary schools that I should never assume that I have studied enough because others will have studied more than me, for example Pua, or those muggers.

But then I could not get myself to study the topics that I have already studied since i have grasped the fundamental concepts of the topic.

But practice makes perfect! And constant practice is required for you to remember al those concepts and theorems. And along this way you would be able to learn special techniques to solve some types of questions.

But I too slack liao.

So that's why other people can score higher than me!

Too bad loh.

I'm stuck. "Hope" that my way of thinking won't lead me to bad results in Promos. Most likely the results will be mediocre. Makes me feel even worse.

Oh yah, better not let the teachers see my blogs, later they abruptly deduce that I am under severe stress then catch me to go for counselling. Then I really bongkua liao. But this should be highly highly impossible.

Why am I online and blogging now? Nothing better to do lah.

But now I have a very important mission, to complete my second draft of PW. So i guess I don't need to sleep tonight.

And I just spent 5 hours today at the library completing only 3 tutorials, felt that I am not focused enough and not working that hard. At this rate I am really not going to fare well for my Promos. So worried, but not anxious at the same time. Now I have just have to grasp the concept of thermodynamics and vectors. My only aim right now, so that I won't fail my Physics but at the same time do well for my Math and Chem. F Math can give up liao lah, because I can't predict how fast I can think to do the questions. Just give me an A will do. :)

Then played badminton with Zhao Xiong for 2 hours. Relieved myself. But my badminton skills getting worse now. Cannot catch smashes. I hope I can adapt to my new racket so that it will be worth its money. I'm going to use it as long as it can survive... you know.

Stupid PW, making me work so hard in the midst of preparing for the Promos. Can't they just give me a break?

Weixin found a website which has our photo from a competition!!! Brings back some good memory.. Haha..

Tomorrow going to Woodlands library to mug, so I hope I can achieve something. At least I won't be sitting around at home aimlessly and wasting all my time. Then i will yi1 shi4 wu2 cheng2 for that day again. So sad.

Oh it is going to be the last week!!! Time flies so fast. I am finally embarking on finishing my 13 tutorials, while revising for promos. There are mixed feelings for the upcoming promos, because it signifies the end of study for this term. But then it also means a major obstacle is coming your way...

Ok... no more blogging through intensive mugging unless I don't feel like mugging. Haha.

Today during my CT period my CT suddenly said,

"Hey if you all have any friends who have suicidal thoughts, remember to inform me or any counsellors in the school about it so that we can take action earlier. If not it may become too late. I am a counsellor too ok?"

So what caused this? Stress lah..Countdown 14 more days to promos already. So near yet so far. And I still haven't started mugging yet. I really want to get 2 S Papers to increase my chance of getting a scholarship. And how to do that? To score well in 2 of my subjects so I can qualify. But then I must still pray that I can get C5 for my GP!!! Today got back my essay and its only 27.5!! Fail liao!!! Haiz... Then I saw a lot of people mugging at the library and on their class benches... A lot of peer pressure. So after so much peer pressure I decided not to give myself pressure. If not too pressure later sick again.

This reminds me that I have wasted 4 hours of my time today at the library...

This reminds me I'm going to wake up with a bad headache tomorrow again...

Tuesday, September 23, 2003

Yeah... Start mugging liao. Mug what? Don't know leh. Cleared 30 tutorials during the previous weeks make me feel like I have revised enough. So I should embark on something else. TYS or past year promos question? Maybe both.

Disclaimer: This is a vent post. Strictly venting. Bearing no grudges with anyone mentioned in the following entry. The first time and the last time. Don't regard me as a person who does not like little kids, but I will need to face them only in the future. But I am facing one right now. This trains my patience, day by day...

ARGH!!!!!~ This sucks. All because of a new member in our family. Ok, this will be the longest entry I will be having. Complaining about the boy my mother babysits. No money lah. I have also been through the kid stage. But I don't think I am as naughty as him. I regret that I have to comment on such people, wasting my finger-typing energy. Just to let you know, he is sitting right beside me. So I am typing at an incredibly fast speed so that he will be mesmerised by my fingers and the sound of the keyboard... Amazing...

The dreadful day starts some months ago. So he behaves very well in the first few days, then we let him play some board games... Ok, just a footnote, his facial features sucks, but i won't comment on that, because it is not his fault.

Becomes worse, he actually touched the computer without any permission. Of course he got scolded, because his mother don't allow him to touch computers. Kena scolded, so he never touched it in the future.

Becomes hyperactive, he screams a lot. Especially when my mother helps him bathe, he keeps shouting. Maybe my mother always tickles him...

Becomes irritating, it has become a routine for him when I am using the computer: Appear outside the door, I look at him, he walks inside, comes beside me, looks (glares) at me, looks at the computer screen, then walks out. WHATS HIS PROBLEM!?! Thinking he is a supervisor supervising what I am doing? Even when I lock my door, he would knock all the door continuously softly to disrupt me. I don't know why, his soft knocking actually disrupts me a lot. Perhaps it is resonance. Then he would repeat his routine, come in...go out...

It is the first saturday when I do not need to go to school, so I sleep until very late to repay my sleep debt. Then at 8am when he comes again, he sees me sleeping and comes to flick my finger. Mind you, they are just continuous soft flicks, yet it is so sensitive that after don't know how many times I acutally woke up. THERE GOES MY SLEEP!!! Woke up. ROAR AT HIM, TELLING HIM TO GET LOST!!!! So he got lost. But I could not sleep anymore. My mother scolds him not to wake me up again, but to know effect. Scold until I not hungry. Man I didn't eat breakfast that day. Sit in front of the computer after that and lag for about 3 hours until 11am till it's time for me to wake up. So I woke up. In a daze. It's a bad Saturday.

Ok, currently he is skipping down there. Wow, noisy sia. Oops, he's back.

Then it comes a series of events which I just don't like. I just comment on 2. There is an incident where he has to take his lunch before going to school. He refuses to take, so he threatens my father to give him 50 cents for him to go to school to buy snacks, before he will eat his lunch. Mind you, THREATEN! So we could do nothing about this because we have to bear responsibility because it will be our fault if he tarves and faints. Damn! I really want to scold the F*** word, but i controlled myself. Then he took the money and actually left wihtout eating his packet lunch still. Waste...

Then there is this event. It is not an event, because it is happening everyday! When I come back home, he doesn't even greet me. Ask me questions about his homework, he never calls me brother. NEVER! And he always does his homework when his parents are coming. Before that he is always watching TV. Waste electricity. Then when his parents comes, he would act very obedient. Even greets everybody goodbye. Freak him lah, fancy acting like this in front of his parents. I really don't understand why he doesn't sign up for the acting skills class at MediaCorp. Too good already. And we can't do anything about it. Simply because my mother doesn't mind. She thought that he is still a kid, so nvm, be patient... Can't help it. Sigh...

So now he is a bit better, but still likes to fool around, but mind you, he got a lot of talents in arts! But I won't touch on that, DUH! So how? He is assistant group leader in his class in Term 2, promoted to group leader in Term 3, and now he is the class monitor in Term 4. Obedient in front of teachers and parents lah, but he is another person at our house. This simply sucks. Ask him if he wants to become prefect he says OF COURSE! Why? Can take down other people's names what. DUH! Write own name almost everyday not enough, still want to write other people's names, damn bo liao leh. Oh yah, just to sidetrack a little bit, I was also a prefect in Primary School, but too slack already lah, so I quit. And I didn't want to quit. It's just that I lost my prefect tag, so I decided might as well don't do liao. But I was rather popular because I'm the most lenient prefect. So normally they take their food outside the canteen I also don't care. Haha... Ok, so now I wonder how life at school will be if he were to become a prefect. OF COURSE I WON'T CARE THAT MUCH LAH. MY BUSINESS AH?! JUST TO VENT MY ANGER MAH!

Ok, last part, so today he is staying my house overnight. Why? Because his parents went for a talk about qin1 zi3 guan1 xi1. WAH KAO!!! FANCY LEAVE THEIR CHILD AT MY HOUSE SO THAT THEY CAN GO FOR A TALK?!?! I bet they won't benefit anything if they like this loh. I ask my mother if she did attend any talks on these topics when we were born, and she said she didn't, because she was too busy looking after us already. And I thought this is then the correct mindset! But I could not do anything about their family lah, because none of my business, but I also thought that this kid might be a problem kid too, because he is from a double-income family. So I wonder if there will be more of these problems arising, if there is an increase number of double income families, and they have to let people babysit their child. Sigh...

Yah, and this will be a test of my patience with little kids like this. I think he is the worst case scenario already, so I think and I hope I will be facing kids with better attitudes in the future. But you never know kids. Here he is shouting again. So hyperactive that he always sleeps late at night and now he has panda eyes. Hehe, maybe I will be a good father in the future? Keep on dreaming...

Oh yeah, I feel so much better now. My second long entry for the day. Don't know lah, just xin1 xue4 lai2 chao2, but feel very bad because wasted a lot of time on non-curriculum stuff. Hmmm... Hope that ming2 tian1 hui4 geng4 hao3. But I just don't expect the worst can liao.

Hohoho... Anybody want to go to Kukup, Malaysia to boost their economy? I'm going there in the Dec holidays with my friends and enjoy. The seafood... the fish... actually it can boast nothing else. But it's good enough to take a break from the hectic lifestyle over here at Singapore.

Yesterday got a haircut, and so many interesting things happen. It started with me asking the barber if I could have a crew cut. Then the barber said, "No lah, your head got lobang lobang one, cut already not nice." Ok, I must admit that I don't what lobang lobang means, but I reckon it should be my head not round.

Then he proceeded into giving me a normal "shortcut" (I think he means a short haircut, but then become shortcut. I rather he said cut short). But then every time he will give himself 5 minutes break to watch Mr Bean The Movie.on the TV behind him. I know it's funny and I like it too, but it was very unprofessional and I also want to rush back home to watch one. And I can't watch through the mirror because I had no specs on then. So I laughed whenever before the climax comes (I watched the movie before). Then he du lan then start to cut my hair liao. Haha. *grinz*

Ms Karen Tan so good. She promises us a movie treat if whole class gets C6 and above, a movie plus dinner if whole class C5 and above, and a popcorn combo EACH for every A1 or A2 we get. I know this is going to be tough but we are going to strive for it. Bet the dinner is in... Haha. But this was nice of her. Hope loh. Her other classes didn't get this proposal, haha, because she simply cannot afford it. Our class size is only 14, and that is reasonable. Also our English standard not very good, not like others... sighz.

Oh, recently I thought that I have been quite rude to the teachers recently, then always cracking lame jokes. Hmmm, so from now I must shou lian a little, or else the teachers starting to buay song me liao. I think Ms Ng, Mdm Yeo and Ms Tan got bad feeling about me, because I occasionally read The New Paper in their classes. My apologies.

Another thing is I think I am going to fail F Maths. Today we have revision lecture on F Maths AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE SO DIFFICULT!!! ARGH!!! Oh yah...hey... I wrote ARGH in my foolscap paper, then someone behind me asked me what is eh are gee etch (A R G H). So I shouted ARGH then she knows liao loh... don't dare to laugh... haha

Tomorrow will be another 4-tutorial day. Damn sian. Today Ms Tan actually asked Xiang Min if he is okay, because he looks pale. Actually I am also sick too, but nobody can see if I am sick or sad. But it is really stressful and Zao Hiong just said something which is very true. "Like everyone not like that" Yeah. everybody is stressful now. Hope ming2 tian1 hui4 geng4 hao3.

Cheers!

Life nowadays is getting more boring, perhaps because I am still not in mugging mode. I will soon be, because it is just a matter of time. As I look at the stuff on my table I know I have to start studying. Been one week since I blog, because I have been reaching home quite late, with yesterday reaching home about nine. Sucks. Blogging has become periodical instead of frequent.

Such an eventful week it was. I received news that I have won a medal in the Australian Maths Competition. It just means that I have to go on stage and have them read out my aspirations, interests and hobbies. So strange, but this is not that a great achievement for me, so why do all this? But I am still proud of myself for retaining a medal this year, although i did not score full marks like last year. This year seems to be quite difficult, because there are only 2 people from Grade 7 to 12 getting full marks, and they are from Australia.

I give up on Physics Olympiad. Although I had already given up 4 weeks ago, I still went for the Physics Olympiad Selection Test, not bearing a lot of hopes. Indeed, I only knew how to do a few questions. Hmmm, seems like I am not cut out for Physics, because it requires a lot of thinking and application. But 10 locals will be selected from 13, so there is a high chance of getting in. But even if I get in, I will opt out.

Oh yeah. Finally I can cycle. Have been waiting for a long time. I am not sure if I should continue to play, because it has taken some time off my study time, but I thought it might be a good way for me to relieve myself from school, although some people might not agree as I can adjust myself. I am really getting very tired recently. Sigh. And yes, believe it or not, Wai Lun has started mugging. He finished A25!!! So fast.

Sian diao.

Sunday, September 14, 2003

Hmm... Yesterday is MAF... The theme is so appropriate, as I got to meet a lot of my old friends, including those who have been here for the first 3 months. But other than that, really not very interesting, the perforamce not that exceptional. So I just spent my way chatting with friends.

Reached home at 11.30pm, to login to Time World to spend my last hours in the game before the round crashes. Haha, I managed to get my galaxy to 6th after a last minute challenge from another galaxy. Too bad Yung Hei and OPK isn't around at that time, or we sure can surpass gal 10 to 5th.

Then woke up in a mood of depression, because it is going to be the start of term 4. Still got a lot of undone tutorials and PW!!!! Argh...

Friday, September 12, 2003

Hey... tomorrow's MAF... Remember to go hor.

Wednesday, September 10, 2003

Just came back after watching Home Run... must say that it is really touching and also humorous at times. It is rather different from the original Children of Heaven, and you really cannot compare these two movies. Those who gives the excuse that Children of Heaven is better and not watch the movie really missed a good movie by Jack Neo, because once you are in the cinema you are completely absorbed into the movie. Finally, the critics gave it the best comment: Watch, and watch it again. I won't mind watching it again, just like Children of Heaven. It is worth the money.

Haha... I did nothing today but eat, sleep, do tutorials, play dreamworld and timeworld, chat and blog. Really! Well at least I finally installed MSN Plus! and get to personalize my MSN Messenger, but don't quite like it. Have mixed feelings about being alone in my house... Very lonely, but can focus or concentrate and can do whatever I like. Only problem is that I am in charge of the house so if anything happens then its all my fault. But then cannot concentrate on doing tutorials because there is always a computer beside me... feel tempted. Then I also have a nice bed waiting for me behind. So comes the problem. Still... Who wants to watch Home Run? It is going to be brought down soon...

Tuesday, September 09, 2003

Hmmm... It's holiday again and yet I fell sick. Why didn't I fall sick during school days? Then can pon school liao. So funny. Then still got tutorials to do, which I never intended to do in the holidays. I don't blog that usual nowadays because every time online must play dreamworld and timeworld then cannot blog liao. Can blog lah, but don't feel the urge to blog. But here I am again! Haha. Hmmm... Here I am thinking what I should do in the next few days. Anybody wants to join me in watching Home Run? Haha, I will be watching soon...
