@ Burlington Sq near Sim Lim..

I did my homework for the best shops to buy modded ps2 in sg. This i-con shop has much praises who bought ps2 stuffs from it. Give comments on my purchase in the tagboard !

Last night, the prom night was a total stunning event. Thank you Jia Yi and Rach for bringing the games, coz it's kinda stupid to do that on a prom night lol... And who arh....? My coach Ah Tham. He was really supportive of me to be a successful high jumper. And I assured him I will try to achieve as best I can go, although i didn't know how to go about doing it...

Staffan and Stefan, I will be joining you in the hall of fame.I will~~~~~~(echo)

21st nov night, sarah choo msg me about the track training tomorrow. 9am in school. I was so confused.. I wanted to go so much because I hate my flabby arms and legs lmao.But meanwhile I was thinking if the trackers will shun me away, bacause you know i haven't been to training for months. SO i practically didn't sleep half that night. I still went though...
Sarah, Ben, Haryati, afew familiar faces and one whole group of lower sec boys were there.. Jogged to the Clementi Stadium and one round on the track. I felt so light as i finished the 400m. Whole body has a colder temp than the surroundings lol... That's what happens when one don't exercise for months. Don't try this at home. The whole training is all about me breathing hard for air. That's the summary for my training :)
Now 12.39pm liao. I haven't bought my prom night things..

Some unbelievable stories to say here...
I guess you all watched The Champions on Channel 8, right?
My big sis and his boyfriend went the Tioman Island many many weeks ago and was there with the cast of The Champions! She took one pic with err Ou Xuan and his boyfriend had one with Qi Yiwu. Yiwu is really that suai in real- life.
Then my sis and boyfriend found another actor and his gf as well, but that actor has stopped acting i think. Then the 2 groups of couple spend about every moment of the stay there in Tioman together! :)
It's simply too cool to expect a cast of a drama show to pop up at where you are.

Overview:
The O levels exams has been smooth unless mentioning the no. of times I was nearly late for the morning papers.
Plus I had lost the war of temptation of playing computer. Do you play an average of 3hrs of computer games each day before and during the exam period? I did.And I hate myself for that.
On the morning of the Eng Paper, I was woked up by my alarm clock. I shut it off and laid back onto my bed and tried to rest somemore for about afew mins. Then resting turned into deep sleep. I was reawakened by my grandma who just came back from her grocery shopping. She stepped into my/her room and found me still in dreamland lol.. She gave a quick shout and I was shocked to consciousness. I frantically located a thing that shows the time because my grandma was shouting how late I was going to be for my exams.
It was 7.30am when I noticed the time then. I packed my ass off without washing up and scrambled downstairs for a taxi-ride to school. On the taxi, my nerves across my chest were having shocks every other minute. That feeling was like a small but strong current had passed thru my chest. I arrived outside the school at 7.50am.
I was so groggy for the duration of Paper 1 but it got better for me during the comprehension. When i got back home later in the day I was completely famished..

I came up with some thoughts about having exams. Is what(your career,happiness..etc) you get later in life really enough for the time,energy and resources spent studying for so many years?
I'll put it in easier explaination. Recall the experience you first studied for an exam, until the present. Recall how many gruelling hours you spent putting your ass on the chair and concentrating on your revision. How many late nights did you have to complete your revision. If you only get a poor job in future, then the effort you put in to work hard(study) had gone to waste...So what if you scored so many As in your exams? You may still get a lowly-paid job and have a ordinary life.
My point here is that the effort you put in the hope that you will achieve success in life is not always equalled by what you receive in life later on. But I'm not saying we should all slack now till our life ends.
*Just do your best in everything and don't expect any good rewards for what you've done.

Fate to know so many good friends in life: Priceless

Look out for me next year in Tanglin ,ppl. I'll shock my friends and the school till the speakers in the parade square shakes for 3 whole seconds.You'll hear the teachers echoing my name everywhere they go, even in toilets they will be talking about me. The 6-pointer for O levels in school. The newspaper will have an article about me, the top scorer in the neighbourhood schools. HCJC will invite me to study there...and the good news continues for me.
*Based on imagination*
I'm going the "Jonah Tang" way. Way To Go! 10 points and below will satisfy me if i miss 6 pts.

^All the best for ppl like me taking O levels this year^ If you're one of them and not my friend, i curse you in O levels lol.. Can't help cursing...Dragon year cohort, tough competition for places in good JCs. My friends don't worry, you will score as brillantly as you hope to be, cause' my words works like a charm. Nay,only in a perfect world.

P.S: This will be my only blog entry. See you guys in a month.

yesterday after school i figured out that i missed a huge opportunity to watch asian's best high jumpers in action. Enzer Asian All-star championships was held on 28th. Imagine I had a video camera(i just don't have it!), going down to CCK stadium and filming how the jumpers did their jumps.

There was a change in gameplay for me in the prelims results. Originally my plan was to use chinese's B3 score to replace physics's, because I didn't have enough time to revise for it at all. It was a 180 deg turnover, because I had a A2 for physics. OH man...If I knew i could hit a 70 with such hurried preparation, i would've spend just a few more hours studying the subject. Nevertheless, I was hit by the Social Studies results. I managed only a 23/50.
I hoped my A-maths will get me a A2. I hit a 45/80 for the first paper, so i have to get 67/80 to pull off a A2 overall. I have confidence. Yah!
I observed and thought for a while in class. Why is it that everyone in the class is doing so badly in SS only after the mid-yr exams? This is questionable. The humanities HOD should think abt it. I know they cannot really do much to help but moderation of the marks will be good though. I just don't get it. No matter how hard i tried to write well, the marks were just below average. It's not that I changed the way i write, nor is it that i didn't understand the different topics in SS. Now I only hope that I can get over this and move on.
This is fate. I can't change it.

I seriously suspect the experience of the teacher who marked our structured-essay questions. I noticed on Adeline's paper, there were comments like, "Not linked" or something. I saw two of the same comments on a single question, and is striked off. I looked at Finian's paper, it was also the same. Have you seen a marker writing a comment and striking it off? Not on a single student's paper only. Obviously the marker does not understand the marking scheme, or prolly she doesn't know how a perfectly well-written answer looks like. Yeah this marker of our SS paper differed slightly from the strict Miss Leong. This time the marker simply gives you the red ink when she spots a small bit of inacurracy, broken links, and unsupported examples. I've seen many comments like "Not well-supported" and "not well-explained". This is only a 1hr30mins paper ok!? You think we're writing a real essay? We are doing the questions based on our knowledge, no english writing skills."Not well-supported" and "not well-explained" doesn't mean that it is not " and not ". If the whole of 4e1 took the exams and none scored more than 10 marks for any of the 12 or 13marks questions, will other class do well? If really it is the latter, then the marker is biased against the "top" class.

Now I'm leaving behind everything. I'm preparing for the big O's. 5 weeks is all i got. Critical. I will learn my mistake of revising struggling at the last moment.

Yawnzz.. I slept so much, because I played too much this weekend ! I really deserved some rest and games after the tiring prelim exams. -phew!-
I played and slept and " and ".Downloaded Dogdeball from the net. It was a whooping 829mb and i was like -.-" when it just started at a low speed. But then the speed picked up and the highest I saw was 80 kbps :)

Gd pts of being a pirate:

1. Can watch movies for free(unless u count the electricity used to on the comp to d/l the movie from the net)
2. Free music
3. Can get most of the media that you can't find in stores; like old songs, exclusive shows
2.All the good points of watching a vcd

Bad pts:

1. Each movie takes up at least 700mb of disk space, for me in this case.
2.Minor risk of getting caught.

Ah.. better stop here about piracy, in case Bill Gates is standing behind all the while?!?!

High Jump:

If you check Stefan Holm's website, you will find out a shocking fact. He has won every competition he went to, including the Athens Olympics. Great isn't he? Just like a real superman in the high jump world.

Studies:

I figured I still can't get rid of my habit of doing things at the last minute. Any solns to help me?
And kindly help me think of a way to make me endure the hours sitting in my room revising my work. My butt just can't stick to the seat!

! OMG OMG OMG !

Hear this. I played a game called Ask Guru Joe in miniclips.com. The game is just a kinda of divination game, you just ask a yes-no qn and the guru will reply.

I typed afew kinds of questions, then I typed the following questions

1. Can I get into ACJC?
*The answer it gave was "The outlook is grim"

2. Can I get into JJC?
* "The arrow points to...yes"

3. Can I get into HCJC?
* Guess what the answer was? "In your dreams"

HOLY COW!

If you ask me what is the best movie of the year now, I'll firmly say it's the one filmed in the airport-The Terminal. I am so touched by the movie. Everything in it is so well connected and it really puts me into the shoes of the main character acted by Tom Hanks.

New update on high jump:

I emailed US high jumper Matt Hemingway who won a silver at the Athens Olympics and he replied my mail! Now I'm am deciding what to write to another US national high jumper, Jamie Nieto. This is so cool. I'm actually talking to celebrities of the sports world !(if not in their respective countries)

*A million thanks to the founder of Internet and Hotmail.

I couldn't find all those practical test papers i did in the past. Only relied on my sis's prelims practical test to revise..Suay..

Bad start for prelims... My behaviour made myself more nerve-wrecking. First day for prelims, the examination was @ 8.00 am sharp. I thought I simply need to reach school before 8am, but I didn't take notice the instruction given at the back page of the green exam schedule sheet. Shit.. Second day-today I took a bus which i waited very long for to school. I knew the bus will reach school merely before the morning assembly or worse after the time(after 4 years of taking e same bus, i knew i was trying my luck early in the morning)

Then in the parade sq Mr Charlie T came to my class to search for the one who didn't take the NAPFA test. Me la..who else.. He approached me and told me the time, which is on this friday, right in the middle of my prelims! Mr Tan asked for my 2.4km run/walk timing and i told him nonchalantly, 12mins. Gotcha! I have never run a 12min before, and the closest was only 12min 31sec hehe......

C'mon! I haven't did any muscle-toning exercises since b4 the mid-year exams. All these months the toughest thing i did was playing badminton for full 3hrs with zhao qing and co. My muscles all go jelly-like liao...Pull-ups? I'll just hang as long as i can up at the bar. Other things still can pass with a C.My fitness level is at the declining stage

P.S: Rach don't laugh @ me if i can't do a single pull-up lol....
