2 pesky cousins of different aunts


Not as much as these wild monkeys at Bukit Fraser Hill in M'sia !


They are super nimble in eating the rambutans we gave them !










Interesting...


I keep having the feeling that this photo should be put in a gallery of memories...



My 2nd sister and cousin :)



We went a long way into the forest trail and finally found...errr this waterfall. -.-"abit disappointing but still it makes him happy!

Wow i'm still so amazed by flying projectiles as much as I was young. I was fully surprised at the sight of a camera attached to a R/C plane(from youtube again hehe he) I'll buy one when I have the spare money in future.

And if i'm rich enough, i'll get a bungalow to house a grand piano. haha

I've just read The Sunday Times and came across an interesting investment article. It's about a forex trading, which means trading in the currency market. It looked pretty lucrative so i went to the author's website and had a look. Okay basically there's only 1 thing I want to bring out from that website.

Have you heard of the 80/20 rule? The 80/20 rule, also known as Pareto's Principle or law of the 'trivial many (80%) and the critical few (20%)', was named after Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist and political sociologist who lived from 1848 to 1923.

This rule states that in many aspects of business and life, 80% of the potential value can be achieved from just 20% of the effort, and that one can spend the remaining 80% of effort for relatively little return.

Don't simply try to do more. Just do more of the right things.

Yeah, so for students, if your big dream if is to finish that entire TYS on your table, then you're wasting your precious youthful times :P

This...my room. The study desk is stuffed at the corner of the room. Very warm there. Air-con is a must when i study! The keyboard...hmmm is 2 octaves shorter than the actual piano length. So frustrating at times when i practise the FF pieces. To Zanarkand- the notes on my kboard not low enough. Melodies of Life- not low and high enough ! But I've managed about 70% of zanarkand and only first 3 staves of melodies of life. Need a upright piano!



7 bean plants I cultivated from green beans. My sis's earlier batch died after getting too much dose of nutrients lolx... My longest sprout is at 25cm! Actually now there are 6 of them in healthy condition, but the 7th one had its 2 leaves dried and shed but the stem is still very green! A zombie plant? I'll water them twice in a day, once before i leave house in the morning and then after I get home. Hahahaa nothing to blog...making this like a primary school science report... :P

MAGniIIIficent! Go to youtube.com and search for "science abuse" or "brainiac". Lots of incredible and quite interesting science experiments you'd never thought of.

Presenting the grand FF band------->

Know why Youtube is so popular? You don't see such quality shows on TV !
So lazy to blog...had flu today. damnit. sch blacked out. made my friday even bleaker. The physics lesson today was the most productive(of all lessons by mr oh) for the whole class, because everyone did their work! We breezed through the 1.5hrs :) And, yep my flu came down from my nose hah.

Had my usual Saturday routine. Go JE Regional library at around 11am. Study until 5pm and go JE swmming pool for some laps.

Finian was supposed to join me at the library at 2pm, but he said he's too tired to come. Must be mugging all week at night. Sooo I studied alone, ate my lunch alone. Walked alone. When is that "she" gonna come into my life?
My table had a 20+ yo couple. When they left, that guy left a calculator behind. I was quick to spot it, but I had hoped he'll remember it and come back to retrieve it. For tens of seconds I was looking at the calculator and placing it beside mine. Should I chase after them? or keep it for myself? Then, I told myself I believed in karma and doing good things out of nothing. So i brought the calc. and raced to the JE ECentre. (I overheard them esrlier that they planned to catch a movie) I couldn't find them at the ticket counter so I walked back to the library. Then I met the couple at the road. Both of them were quite appalled that I took the effort to return the digital tool to them. It was so awkward when I handed the calculator to his hands because he was still reeling in gratitude and couldn't say anything at first. Then he offered me a handshake and said xie xie. I felt so elated and was smiling in my heart as I made my way up the library! Life's great when we help each other!!!!

I've done a gargantuan amount of maths today. Tmr I declare it'll be a maths-free day ! I'm picking up pace for maths and physics but dragging my feet in chem. But really i'm fortunate to be in Mr Azmi's class. If it was some other tutor, i'd be thrown out of the class long time ago bcoz i didn't fulfil my part as a student well-prepared for tutorials ): Jiawei and I consulted him after school about revision plans and it was really productive. I have a clearer idea of how to spend the remaining 5 weeks to prelims.

Feeels so cool to log on to the net at 6.10am on a sunday morning. I love the early morning and late nights. That kind of silence is calming. I love to do my homework in the dead of the night, like 3am until it's time to get to school. At night when there's nobody, I don't need to pretend to be someone else or need to prove anything to anyone. I'm awake now because of the Ger-Por WC 3rd/4th placing match. I betted 30 for 2 goals in total and it was really exciting in the 2nd half because all the 4 goals including an own goal was scored then. I rmb it was 60+ mins into the match when there was 2 goals scored, but my hope for a premiere soccer bet win dashed away quickly with that own goal. I should've followed Finian to buy a Germany win...but the odds was 1.6x. My 2 total goals odds was 3.2x. But never mind.

Next week i have 2 competiton days, monday for 4x100m and wednesday for high jump in the natls champs. Sometimes I feel so useless...Studies-can't make it. CCA- no achievements. Play-spend alot of time but not even as good as those who play less. Studies is the most worrying for me now. Tracking back, I didn't even got a good grade for Chemistry and Physics before in JC lvl. What can and should I expect for my A lvls? Will someone just post on the tagboard what I should do to break that grade barrier and score many As? Help me out. I play quite alot of games when i'm bored by studying and i will keep on playing from day to day. Anyone has such experience before and managed to solve this behaviour and get really focused in studies? post ur solutions on the tagboard ! tell me your daily after-sch day schedule as well...So i have something to follow.

And oh, almost forget, my swimming improved tremendously. The last time I went with liuyun and yongzen i could only manage 1 or 2 50m laps...yesterday I moved steadily through 5 50m laps...I was quite amazed too...I simply tried to relax and slow down my strokes to get hold of my breathing. If i can do it without a specialised coach, i'm sure ppl like jiawei can make it too if he wants to try. Better know how to swim eh...the old phrase, " Singapore is surrounded by water, cannot swim die lor"
Then Finian and I went for a short pool treat at clementi recreational centre. I beat him 3 out of 3. the second game was the best performance for me. I did an appalling 3-banking shot to hit the last target ball on the last bank and it went in. then i easily won the black ball too. Last round finian did his best to put it down to 1 target ball for each of us, but his shots just crooked out of the way. Hooted off to ginza to book place at aloha lan centre and bought soccer bets when liuyun came(me and finian underage!). The 2 dota games were devastating for me. I'm always the one getting killed more than everyone else. second game was better because my hero is more capable of killing. tt's all in a day's work! I hopped onto bus 30 and took that familiar bus from ginza plaza to boon lay interchange.( I used to take bus 30 from tanglin back to jurong too)
Sleeping time! Maybe i'll wake up at 12pm. Blog again at night too. Sorry and thank you for all the ppl staring this web space so hard that a new entry will appear in front of their eyes. Thank you, i've finally blogged.
