on the second last day of my holiday, i need to say this. whoever came up with the idea of putting exams immediately after the holidays needs to go to eternal crapdom and stay there. this has prolly been said a thousand other times by countless other pissed off students like myself but heck it.. im going to say it again. the singapore education system is screwed up!!!!!!!! it is pure evil to make us study throughout the holidays. the ministry really needs to seriously think about what they are putting their kids through!!! is this really the only way the education system will work? hellooo i think not!!! maybe one day when im really free i'll craft a nice letter to write to the forum...mmmm anyway the stupid As are going to determine my future. no doubt about that but i find it simply unfair that we have to go through so much nonsense to ensure a good future for ourselves. i cant say tt its not worth studying cos it is worth studying hard right now.. its going to make my life. approximately 5 more months of enduring academic hell is going to determine what the rest of my life is like. comparing 5 months : rest of life.. seems not bad an exchange.. but truth is.. this studying machine isnt much of a studying machine at all..! i cant study that much man...! some ppl have it in them to work their guts out just studying and studying and studying and get the great grades tt everyone wants.. but im definitely not one of them!!! right now i really wish i had their super powers.. its not like i purposely didnt study and its not like i didnt try at all..somehow just not very productive .. argh.. im hoping for a big miracle here.. how did i ever do it and and how am i ever going to do it. Thing of the day!!!~ nothing.. blehh

Thing of the day!!!~ Thot: when u cant find a cd.. maybe the first place u should try looking is inside the cd player.

unfortunately for me.. this holiday sucks. and im sure many others would agree. the stupid exams are less than a week away and im really no where near prepared. all the time we have doesnt seem to be enough cos simply too little gets done everyday. i seem to be incapable of making good use of my time be it at home or in school. i just spent more than half the day in some sort of weird dimension..drifing in and out of sleep.. everytime i started looking at the notes the sleepyness jus overtook and i inevitably fell asleep. guess how little ive studied today.. Gee this sucks so bad. i feel like i havent had a proper holiday for 3 years running already. (with the exception of the holiday aft the Os) i hate this system. holidays being made for u to study.. gee which evil person came up with the brilliant idea of putting exams immediately after the holidays!!! Thing of the day!!!~Quote : Studying is such a waste of time ~ Me counter thot: Getting good grades is cool. i wanna be cool. so i gotta get good grades. blah.

my dad bought 2 80bux shirts recently and unfortunately..they got ruined when my mum put them in the wash.so my mum bought this stain remover thing to try to fix them, but not only did it not work..it made it worse. My dad's not in town this weekend so we went back to robinsons today to get the exact same shirts. admist the crazy crowd indulging in the great robinsons sale..we swiftly handed the shirts to the salesgirl, told her tt we wanted the exact same ones and pronto new shirts arrived painlessly in our hands!! my mum's plan is to show the new shirts to my dad when he gets back and tell him that she fixed it.. hahaha. as if he's gona believe.. anyway we got him another of the shirts in another colour as a present.. hope he likes it. and its even nicely wrapped up in robinsons special father's day wrapper.

its been 2 days since ive been back from ltc and it finally seems like the right time to write about it.. hahaha.. or u can just say that ive been procrestinating and i finally gathered enough motivation to sit down in front of the screen and write about all the things which i felt and learnt from ltc.. writing such things take effort u know.. as much as i feel compelled to spill my guts all over the internet it also takes a certain amount of effort to think and reflect and then write what i think is suitable and appropriate to post up here. well its true that i can not care and just write about any blimy thing which i feel like writing but the bottom line is.. it still takes effort to think, process and press those little buttons on that keyboard of mine.. hahaha totally out of point.. anyway ltc was really an unforgettable experience. its been one of the least physically tiring.. but has got to be the most mentally stressful camp ive been a part of. being an advisor was definitely not an easy task. and after this experience.. i now know that my adivising skills are seriously lacking and need a lot of improving or im just simply not cut out for this kind of job. i have a feeling its the latter.. being the one out there doing the job is one thing.. observing, evaluating and commenting on how someone else does the job.. thats totally different man. i hope that whatever i did.. it helped in some way and hopefully..hopefully!!... ive dispensed some good advice. ah well.. i think its been as great a learning experience for me as it has been for the juniors. for them.. they've picked up a lotta hard skills.. lotsa things essential for them to run the club. for myself, its been 3 days of fantastic company, memorable memories =D .. and more self discovery.. im really really glad that my 1.5 years of being an odacer ended so fantastically with this camp and furthermore.. night cycling being the very last activity.. wow that really rocked..! what even with lame franks, stupid gears and dumb dogs..they definitely, without a doubt, made this trip one which im never going to forget..so..thanks..? maybe not.. anyway and im so glad tt the plan never got to be carried out... of all the activites which we did..my baby of all was last years night cycling..more so than orientation or oec.. and after this really successful one, i feel like all has been made up for and now im sated =) yesterday, i woke up at 11 and it felt so weird. not saturdayish at all. first time being so free on a saturday in a long long time and i dont know how long it is going to take for that weirdness to wear off.. both wednesdays and saturdays are going to feel strangly empty and yeah i just hope that i will use that time constructively.. whats the point then if not right.. ahh.. its really time to start wising up on the study methods and packing in the studying time. =P hah.. so much easier said than done.. i feel like im bluffing myself.. haha Thing of the day!!!~ Quote : "Oh, what is "truth", Robert?

"Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it has to be done, whether you like it or not.. The great end in life is not knowledge but action" - Thomas Huxley that has got to the the most useful thing which ive learnt from my chem notes all day.. i feel so motivated to study now, since by doing so i'll be proving what an educated person i am. hahaha but sadly(not)(well maybe..not not) ..i wont be able to study until next week and since im going out for a class reunion in about like now i dont think i'll be able to study much more today..how wasted..the motivations probably going to run out by next week.. haha im not giving excuses alright.. its justified tt i cant study for the next week cos i'll be at camp and since im supposed to be observing and giving constructive comments for the great good of the future of odac for the next 4days, i simply wont have time to study. yeah. strangly though.. ive never noticed that quote in the alcohols notes even though ive had it since 28 august 2003..considering how many times ive (supposed to have) studied tt set of notes.. what does that say about the way i study.. mmmm hahah but i forgive myself because its on the last page which is the appendix and the appendix is not really that important.. till later! im gona be late...

just came back from 4g1 class gathering...went to marina to eat steamboat.. had a great time today!!! was really nice to see everyone again after soo loong!!!everytime i go there to eat steamboat i end up eating crappy burnt/halfcooked/over cooked food which is extremely oily.. hahaha..talked and laughed all the way home on the mrt and took lots of pics too..like as if there was no one else around.. hahaha its been a long time since ive been so loony.. ahh i miss being a crescentian.. and i finally found out whats my sec3/4 form teachers name..haha (oops) we gotta do this again some time after As yeah..!!!

i love movies!!! i love watching movies which i love!!! hahaha i had the moviest week ever man!! first was shrek 2 last friday, then the day after tomorrow on sunday, troy on wed, and harry potter on friday..tts like 4 movies in a week! how awesome is that.. haha.. the lowdown on the films.. shrek 2 is ultra funty man!!! ahahaha the spoofs are great n they have a nice soundtrack to go along with it too.. its now one of my favourite animated films =D [Rating:4.5/5] day aft tom.. act i didnt really want to watch tt.. quite tired of 'end-of-the-world' shows and even tho ppl say tt its not as bad as it seems, still din wana watch..felt it was a waste of time cos originally wanted to watch troy..but the tix were bought already and we were gonna watch troy on wed so yeah.. haha i got out exactly how much i expected to get out of it..not boring but still the typical action packed show.. its about global warming so at least since its not about meteorites crashing into earth, i gave it points for tt. the thing about this show is tt some parts felt really unnatural and purposely placed in.. didnt have a nice flow.. espicially the parts about the wolves.. it had its purpose but it just felt so deliberate. [Rating:2/5] troy...troy!!!! people who love brad pitt.. u cannot miss this show.. people who like brad pitt.. go watch this show and u'll love him after that.. hahaha. its a great epic.. greek mythology and all..thought the story was really interesing..great fighting scenes too..the one on one fighting scenes.. those really make the movie man!!! in summary, if ur into brad pitt, greek myths, or violence, you'll like this one as much as i did. otherwise, dont bother. [Rating:4/5] harry potter!! this one was needless to say.. definitely very entertaining.. but somehow i didnt think it was as good as the second one.. not that i can remember exactly what happened in the 2nd one..but i just remember that after watching the 2nd one i felt tt it was really fantastic.. but this time it was great.. not exactly marvelous or ultra supergood.. borrowing points from various people.. i agree that it was not quite magical enough and there didnt seem to be a climax in the movie.. would have liked to see more new characters.. the other students that is.. and sirus doesnt look quite like what i imagined him to be.. oh yah and draco malfoy looks like he's part of a cheesy boyband..with the floppy blond hair.. haha the old hair suited the character better. ooh but really nifty parts of the show.. the maruders map!! whaa love that map man!! its way cool.. and the main part of the plot is really great too.. i give it [Rating 3.9/5] more movies i wana watch.. eternal sunshine of the spotless mind..spiderman..catwoman..the ladykillers... ahhh haha .. i could do with more weeks like this =D but reality bites back hard when i realise the great amount of studying which i have to do.. sigh.. one week is gone and i havnt done much.. next week is gonna be taken up by LTC.. talking of which is gonna be our last ODAC activity.. =( mmmm emmmm even though we used to complain about how much time odac takes up .. what with all the dry runs and the time consuming activities...im definitely gonna miss having odac on weds and sats..and/or sometimes mons or/n tues or/n thurs or/n fris or/n suns too.. hahaha odac has been a huge and wonderful part of school and schools gonna be even more sucky than it already is without it.. ahh well ..why is studying so hard now.. last time..it was hard too .. and after putting in my best.. i still somehow managed to get respectable grades.. this just isnt happening this time round.. worked hard.. but still not hard enough.. arrghh theres so little time left..!! but what im more afraid of is that i wont make use of whatever time i have properly.. and i end up not studying smart again.. argghh i need a life-vest.. hahaha sat for SAT today.. haha i hope i wont want to retake it again. i saw my primary sch friend, rachel, after the test!!! havent seen her for quite a while and tt few minutes of catching up was nice =) haha..hey lau we needa catch up sometime soon...! maybe after As.. hahahaha..cant ever be too realistic Thing of the day!!!~Restaurant:Thai Express. went to esplanade today and walked all around tt area and one fullerton too.. ate dinner at the Thai Express at colours on the bay.. i love thai food. =D

anyone who's in wanting to buy cds should go to that music shop sometime soon.. they're having this cool 3 cds for 49.90 deal..but it doesnt work for all cds so yeah.. the great thing about going out with the parents is that most of the time they (ie the dad) are willing to buy stuff for you..well sometimes the mum too.. =D haha.. got Avril Lavigne's new album (yeahyeah go ahead and snigger but i actually do think tt this girl pretty rocks.. =P) didnt know that she co-wrote so many songs with chantal kreviazuk (of leaving on a jet plane fame).. listened to one round of it and yeah its not bad.. got five for fighting n maksim too... five for fightings also not bad..haha.. only listened to half of it so far n ahh cant wait to check out maksim..! thought it would be an interesting change of music... hope it doesnt dissappoint! oh yeah i watched troy today too..and its not bad!! to people out there who think otherwise.. well.. too bad for u all.. haha the fighting scene between achilles n hector was absolutely fantastic. the word fantastic doesnt even do that scene justice..it was an absolute work of art .. so smoothly choreographed.. and brad pitt... mmmm.. hahahaha the show's got me interested in finding out the accurate version of the story of troy too..always thought greek mytho to be fasinating.. guess this is gonna hype up the interest of greek mytho among many others too.. Thing of the day!!!~Song: Something About You-Five for Fighting I don't know where to begin I don't know how to get out there to see you I don't know where to dig in.
