Saturday

Some friend of mine from Hwa Chong got a Nikon D90, some mid-range DSLR which was epic cool. Was playing with it while we were walking around the neighbourhood on Saturday night.

We then walked past Bukit Batok CC and saw that there was a Karaoke competition. Thus, we took the D90, went to the front, and acted as though we were the official photographers. As soon as we did that, we then saw the REAL photographer coming towards us with a imba Nikon D3x. Epic owned the D90. XD

We had wanted to gatecrash some guy’s wedding by acting as the official photographer, but we decided not to, as well, 1) the restaurant was full of guests and 2) we decided that we couldn’t control our laughter, which could ruin the act.

Ps. How’s that for a camera with good pixelation, Geri? ;)

Sunday

Went to KX’s house to bake cookies for Mrs Ong for her op. The experience with baking was well, EPIC. We had wanted to form the letters R, A, C, H, E and L；and also make Mickey Mouse-shaped ones but well, they came out like epic 水肿. And the Mickey Mouse looks as though it had been force-fed with cookies.

But the cookies came out rather tasty, and I was kind of addicted to the cookies. Should bake some for myself someday:) We then played “STRESS” using the “Upwords” game set and I ended up really pekcek as I kept losing and having to take the tiles. –_-

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?

After getting back 7/8 subjects for EoYs, I’ve concluded that that dream of mine that did not come true is something worse than I could imagine. None of my subjects had improved in results, and I had lost my A1s for Lang Arts and Biology, 2 subjects which I was confident in.

My only hope now would lie in moderation (Which wouldn’t help much) and my grades for the previous terms. I had not understood why I had failed miserably; I had did my revision faithfully, even going back to school to get help from teachers. What went wrong?

If in barbed wire flowers can bloom, why couldn't I? I will not die, I will not die…

Maths paper 1 was disappointing, and I’m feeling as pessimistic about paper 2 as well:( Got back SCS, and did quite okay, which is good. Bio section A was expectedly screwed. Will collect Chemistry paper tml. Hope that I will be able to do well this time..

Cos of Yi Li’s imba handwriting, Mrs Ong read her name to be Yi Ci. Super cool name can? All of us started calling her Priest Yi Ci (since papers with her handwriting on it could be used as a talisman) Bought a book abaout folding paper aeroplanes and started wreaking havoc during lessons.Woohoo! :DD

Post EOYs is also a good time to crap. Was trying to come up with jargons for council. In the end, we used Tanker, Super-Tanker and Oil Tanker to classify councillors. Tankers are those who can Tank, but have a limit to what they could handle. Super-Tankers are those who Tank everything and anything (incl. Saikang) and seems to have no limit in the amount of tasks they can Tank. Oil tankers are ones who only do the most important projects(Oil is ex and impt). Lmao.

Welfare’s gonna 忙到爆 during the period now up to 2010. Brace yourselves! :D

CID exam was over and done with, and so was EOYs! The only thing left to do now is to wait for the dreaded results…

Went Club CSC@ Bukit Batok with Zi Siang today. We had wanted to drag Siwei along, but Siwei apparently loves his cave and cavewoman… We had planned to play pool, but in the end the pool lounge is closed and thus we went to bowl. Had bowled until our fingers were sore. But bowling was fun, when you strike the pins.

Ate a massive Botak Jones burger for lunch and it was really filling… too filling I have to say. haha. Then played bowling some more. Great day, I must say.

Then went to meet Ken and 鸟 him about his EOYs while he tries to 鸟 me with his iPhone 3GS. Lmao. But helped him with maths. It was like the blind leading the blind. Lmao.

Go play making history alr. Got raped by japan and UK in the last game. Crap.

Nothing to do at my grandma’s hse. Cannot play SF cos internet slow like some pok. –__-. So boliao blog again. Haha:)

There are some movies that I want to watch after exams. The Surrogates is out in Singapore, but there are 2 movies that are not released in Singapore yet. I hope it’ll be released soon…

“The Invention Of Lying” is a movie that I heard about while listening to the BBC.  It’s about this not very successful guy that lives in a world that do not lie, not even the white lies that make everyday life more bearable for us. One day, he discovered that he has the ability to lie, and it changes his life. It was released in the UK on 2Oct. Why isn’t it in Singapore yet?!

The trailer:

Epic funny. I’m so gonna watch it.

建國大業(The Founding Of a Republic) is a movie about the founding of the PRC and also the fall of the ROC. This movie was made in occasion for the 60th anniversary of the founding of PRC. Though it may not be historically accurate(it’s from the perspective of the communists), but I’m sure it’ll help me gain valuable insights about the Chinese Civil War. And what’s more, it features cameos from Jet Li, Andy Lau and Jackie Chan. One unique point about this film is that some Chinese actors offered to act in the film without payment, as they feel that’s its a honour to be able to act in this film. so this film Sadly, it’s currently only released in China, and it seems that it’ll be released in the ROC(Taiwan) in 2010. So I doubt that it’ll ever get screened in Singapore. Sigh.

Enjoy your post-exam break everyone! JYs in preparation for CID3 on Monday:D 

And also JYs to those ppl (from HCI, Nanhua etc.), who are having their EOYs now:)

I’m at my grandma’s house in Bedok, and I’m gonna stay there till Saturday. Oh and my handphone just ran out of batt and I forgot to bring my charger, so I won’t be contactable until Saturday… Sigh.

Trying to download Soldierfront and trying to search for Making History. Man, it takes ages…

Touched my comp after 4 days of abstinence from computers. I’ve realised that a layer of dust had accumulated on its keyboard. lol.

This is gonna be a short, short post. Tomorrow is Maths paper 2! Which is the last paper except for CID:) I’m going to start on the 1st item on my to do list after EOYs: visit grandma:D Long time since I visited her alr. Heh.

EOYs was epic I guess. Bio was amazingly a killer, and physics is an awesome trap that made me waste tons of marks. My GPA… T.T

Well, maths pros are playing today alr. Siwei’s gonna play soldierfront, and Zhijie’s gonna play maple. Me? I guess I have no choice but to play with maths. So TTFN:)

While surfing the net just now after dinner, I chanced upon this article that I found inspirational:

http://gizmodo.com/5370752/the-boy-who-harnessed-the-wind-persistence-jury+rigging-and-ingenuity-against-all-odds

While many of us are hating classes and dying to skip classes, this African boy is dying to sneak into classes because he could not afford an education. He was caught, and banned from school. His quest for knowledge did not stop, and he went to the library instead. He encountered a book, Using Energy, which talks about windmills that could harness electricity. Using trash and what-not from the junkyard, he built a windmill that could generate electricity and pump water. This amazing guy, William Kamkwamba got his dream of education come true when he was offered a sponsorship to study at the African Leadership Academy.

Crammed chemistry just now. Hope my memory would hold. Will do the remaining of practice paper tml. I’m still feeling super gabra over maths even though I spammed maths yesterday. Don’t think I mastered logarithms and indices yet. I have a long list of things to do after EOYs. 9 more days! Jiayous, everyone! :D
