Studying in library today was extraordinary productive. I don't know why. Perhaps due to a presence of 4 people so there is no case of outsider's nuisance? Library is especially quiet, which is rather unusual. Quite glad to see this. Perhaps this is the critical period so everybody is busy studying and not chatting about. Hmmm...

Anyway today I suddenly discover something. That is... Never eat McDonalds!!! Unless you feel like eating and you want to damage your body... Today I just consumed the McWings which consists of 2 drumlets and 2 chicken wings, and it adds up to 271mg of cholesterol!!! Oh no!!! Feel very guilty even up to now... Will I have an artery blockage... And guess what? The whole extra value meal adds up to about 1500+ calories! That's 3/4 of the recommended daily intake in only a meal! Haiz... And included in it is 90mg of fats, which is 9/10 of the RDI for fats! Haiz. I wonder I have gained how many fats and cholesterol over these years of eating fast food. How nice if I can stop eating now and return to my healthy lifestyle.

Nah... I still can't resist all these junk food when brought to me. Perhaps I will see myself getting weaker as years goes by while indulging myself in these delicious but unhealthy junk food. Hmmm...

Haha I am blogging now while chatting with a few of my friends, arguing about university applications. Originally there seemed nothing to talk about, but once the chatterbox opened, words came scrolling in, and suddenly everybody was like talking all the way. But I haven't had a good chat nowadays already with so many people online. And the topics keep growing and growing, so I don't expect an early sleep today.

Today is halloween!!! Everything is so scary. Even the moon is yellow, so it looks quite scary. Too bad 12 midnight past already, so halloween is over. Sad. No more scary things to keep me awake. *yawnz*

Life have been monotonous these few days, even over the weekends, which was supposed to be there for us to enjoy. In the end? They are still mugging days. Well I didn't mug exactly because I successfully swam today!!! Yeah!!! But I think I have taken in more fats in the lunch I ate today. Wah CMI le. Then I also went to play CS. Feel very guilty becausecritical period already still play CS?!?!?! Kaoz... Cannot like this one loh... Hmmm...

Anyway I also don't know why but my friends around don't seem to study as intensively as they used to be. Or have I intensified my revision as compared to before? I don't know, but I know I was very slack in the past. Today I just completed 4 F Math papers, so I feel quite good. At least I sticked to the below 2 hours for Math C, below 2.5 hours for F Math, so that I have enough time to check, and most probably sleep. No lah I must be joking. A level cannot sleep one unless there is a "tactical" purpose. If my standard for GP is half of my standard for GP I won't have to worry so much now. But I still hasn't started on intensive revision on many subjects, so I have some ominous feelings that I can't describe... Especially when A levels is just looming nearer and nearer.

Well I guess I'm tired by now but I am still chatting! Haha. Chatting won't trie me because it involves active particapation, whereas blogging is alone. So I will feel my eyelids crashing down...

Hmmm... I think tian1 yi4 nong4 ren2 loh. Today is supposed to be when I start to exercise, so me and my reading room gang has decided to go and swim. In the end? It started raining and everybody turned up late! I thought I was late already yet when I arrive nobody is there yet, expect Peng Kiat who arrived earlier than me.

Peng Kiat arrived earlier loh... Surprising. Totally sian diao about him when he lied to me the other day that he is in Tampines already when he is still waiting for the bus in Little India. Hao wan ar? Lie also must see who you are lying to mah. It's not as if I am some n00bs who haven't seen a bus before... But Yeong Heng is still the late king lah... So sad.

I think I must enforce some self-discipline on myself already. Cannot duo4 luo4 until like that. Haiz. But sometimes your determination can waver due to some friends who are very influential. Influential as in they can persuade them to do what they originally don't really want to do. In this case I think I'm talking about the negative aspects of it. Scary? Not when you have enough of it, as you will suffer from tolerance and won't be able to be affected that much already. Hmmm... a bit yu3 wu2 lun2 ci4 liao.

Recently xiaxue's blog is very well advertised by the friends around me leh. I think it really provides quite a lot of entertainment for us to read it. Can be kaobei at times loh. Haha. If you all got time you all can go and read it, and can scrool through quickly because there are quite a lot of pictures, not like mine which are all words.

I wonder how many grammartical errors can you all spot in my blog entries because I am trying to improve on my GP... My essays still have quite many grammatical errors although the situation has improved dramatically and drastically since Sec 1.

Think I have to sleep now already. Seriously I feel a layer of fats growing around my tummy area. Haven't been controlling my diet very well, so everything is just growing. Haha. Hope my knowledge also grows. Have to start to exercise liao. Tomorrow shall mark the beginning of exercising... through swimming!!! If it rains... then too bad loh... Then have to delay again. Haha :)

After today's Chem prac, really not super sian lah... Everything also cannot test out. Happy liao loh. Up to now I still don't know whether it is sulphate or sulphite. But I think I got all the observations correct. My titration and reaction kinetics should be able to score. So perhaps 75 marks I will conservatively give them about 15 marks. So 20% I still got about 16%. So the rest 80% I need to get 59% can get A liao. Can lah... People must remain optimistic one.

Haiyah but then today after Boxing's analysis of US universities I realise it is quite difficult for me to enter the universities that I have applied. Other people also got apply for Stanford and Chicago, how can I be compared to them? But at least I have my own talents. :) Let's just hope they will spot me and admit me into their university. Even then I still need to get a scholarship before I can go there. No scholarship = No overseas universities. Then still have to settle for a local university.

Somebody just passed by me and commented my blog entry is too kaobei already. Eh I also think so leh, but blog entries got what not kaobei one?

I just forgot what I want to say.

...

Oh yah I just woke up from my sleep. After Chem prac I felt quite tired, maybe because I spilled my permanganate on my question paper. To make the brown stain even worse, it was acidfied, so when it was spilled my ink actually disappeared. Not smudged but totally disappeared. So I have to wait for it to dry then I rewrite my answers again. I hope I'm not penalised.

Haiz... I have been sleeping from after lockup till now, wasted a bit of time already, so I have to go back and study liao.

One last thing, I need help in one Math question. How do you prove that square root 2 to the power of square root 2 is irrational?

Haiz... Today is not a very productive day. Well it is not as productive as other days that's all. But at least I manage to do some revision in Chem prac. I must have confidence for tomorrow!!! FULL MARKS!!! Really cannot flop this time already or else I will be really very ultimately disappointed with myself...

Ah... Today i got beaten in Chinese chess by Peng Kiat!!! Will that be an ominous sign showing my chem prac results tomorrow? NO!!! That's why I say "guan1 qi2 bu4 yu3 zhen1 jun1 zi3" mah. That yingjian always say can sha1 qi2 already then Peng Kiat will think deeper... Cannot like this one loh! Haha think next time cannot give chance just shu4 zhan4 shu4 jue2 liao. Sian lah don't want to kaobei too much or else become sore loser liao. Haha... Bish -_-"

But nvm lah... I got my revenge in playing soccer with him. I shoot while he wrong-footed, then I scored the match-winning goal!!! Haha... not bad lah, considering that I don't play soccer much often. :)

Haiz... today Ellery suddenly ask me, "Eh, Joseph! You got tummy ah?!" Then I sian diao loh... Recently study too much lah... Didn't exercise for some months liao... Sux lah... I must start training after the A levels!!! My tummy... Must remove it.

To everybody taking Chem prac tomorrow: Good luck!

Hmmm... why do I suddenly think of changing my blog title? I also don't know, but I find myself in a "bo chap" mood already. Bo chap meaning I don't really care about a lot of things. I mean I still do take notice but I don't really care. Guess I'm suffering from the mid-exam syndrome...

Actually come to think of it I'm not really cut out for blogging. Although I still like to look at other people's blogs to see how they crap for the day, I myself can't really crap a lot of things out that frequently. Haha. Anyway too much blogging is also quite a waste of time. All these time used for blogging can be used in a lot of things, like sleeping (my favourite, have been lacking of it), chatting, staring into the computer, doing Maths, etc...

Haha... talking about my life nowadays, it is just in a whole unorderly manner. No order at all. I will just do everything that comes into my mind, so it is really quite sucky. Things like US university applications, I have only settled on 2, now finding a third one as a backup. UIUC seems to be a good one... Not bad at least I have got some idea as to how to write that Chicago essay.

Perhaps the only thing that is in order is to go to school everyday to study. Not to mug. Mugging has been a word that eludes me for a long time, perhaps because I cannot concentrate on studying for a long period of time. Nvm, then I won't be a full-time mugger. You see now it is 9am and the drilling noises has started again... and this will continue until 6pm... Why do they choose to maintain our HDB estate only at this time? Why not last year? It's not even an IUP... Yet it just affects my studying mood. At least going to school to study is more effective, to an uncertain extent. Sometimes can study the whole day, sometimes play cards the whole day. But ultimately it is still more conducive than at home, away from the distractions of TV, computer and most importantly, bed.

But after yesterday's Physics Prac, I woke up. Totally flunked in it, so perhaps I would get a few marks deducted from it. Hey a few marks is also important!!! It can separate me from an A and a B!!! i am so utterly disappointed and angry with myself for making such a stupid mistake in such a critical period of time. Haiz. My prac have been so consistent these years until now. Must be too complacent liao. yi4 shi1 zu2 cheng2 qian1 gu3 hen4. No more physics pracs for me to redeem myself already. Guess I have to harder on other papers. I mean it. I really mean it. Hmmm... Although I sound quite pessimistic normally but I'm actually optimistic in heart. So I won't really brood over it for a long time. No use one...

Applying for US universities is such a complicated process. But at least I choose it over UK universities. So I still must work hard for it. Have been in a rather panicky mode when seeing others almost completed their university application. But then my SAT sux like shit. Really can't compare to other's near-perfect scores. Money is also a very important factor...

Crap too much already... I just woke up so feel a bit sian. Later I will go register for my SAT... I hope I can do well in it this time. Haha :)

Strange... How come people are studying but I'm here fiddling with my blogs? Anyway this template will be temporary...
