3 out of 3; telsys down ; Wednesday, February 27, 2008 23:42
okie, i'm done with my main exams. and i also know i lost my as. sighh. just aiming to pass all and not let my gpa drop lower than 2.0 and i'll be fine.
went to play soccer after telsys paper today. had 10 people. more than last sem i think. but the sun was fiercer too. i really should apply sunblock next time. (:
played till 7? they were apparently all tired. no soccer stamina.
walked all the way to business cheers to buy drink 'cause the rest of the stalls were closed by that time. met meryl at the entrance of sob.
i was wondering, like how did she know me from my back. then it came to me that i was publicising my name at the back of my shirt, so ANYONE would know my name. (:
iguides chalet starts 3march, f704 on 17march and iqt on 18march. i don't know what to say.
+++
2 out of 3; netfund down ; 10:46
i can only say netfund was easier to do than math. but i can kiss my a away already.
telsys paper is in 220 minutes. it'll be the last, and hopefully for the term. i think the main reason for my lack of concentration throughout the main exam period is because of my thinking to look forward to the post-activities.
and after this, i have another matter in my head. f704's chalet is 17-19 march while iqt's chalet is 18-20. i've got seven weeks of holiday, so this is considered lucky? of all times, they fall on the same week and even overlap each other.
call me anti-social. i don't know.

1 out of 3; emath down ; Friday, February 22, 2008 23:19
i'm done with engmath2 today. however, i don't seem that happy. simply because i know it's going to be oop AND engmath2 for supp paper already. sighh. my holidays.
past year papers are crap. i shan't trust doing them anymore. they were far from what came out in today's paper. passing is hard, pulling my overall grades to pass is worse.
and i cab-ed back to amk after the paper. their collection time is worse than olevels. well, they DO have more than 1k papers to collect. finee.
$17.55. i'm poor. :(
weather was bad today. but then, we still got to play for an hour. irwin, clinton and xiaomarc joined us. gerald came today also. so what do you expect? lan after that.
well, i shall use the rest of my friday to rest. then, i've to score for netfund and telsys on tues and wed. and i don't really know if i can enjoy my holidays but i'll just take things as they come by now. (:

singapore WON youth olympics bid!! ; Thursday, February 21, 2008 20:49
i saw this on cna. singapore estatic at winning youth olympics bid. yay!
not-so-yay is my engmath paper tomorrow. countdown: 17.5 hours more. actually, my mind would be a lot free-er after tomorrow's paper. there's the pressure 'cause i've failed all my math tests and i really need to score here.
if tomorrow's paper comes to be the same as the four past papers i've been doing, then i should not need the supplementary paper, which i have no wish to take. oop is already behind me.
i'll have the weekend for netfund and telsys. both should be fine, AFTER MATH. and please don't rain tomorrow. (:

done with oop ; Monday, February 18, 2008 23:26
i went to school today to submit the last installment of 1.2 before the main exams. in this case, it's oop. deadline for project was actually last thurs, but we were given an extention to today.
i STILL didn't manage to complete the code though. wtf knows how to upload an image? the jfilechooser tutorial gives you half the code. so we didn't have the list and summary page. still, i choose to have that hope of passing oop. optimistic! (:
and i played basketball after project submission today. can't recall when was the last time i touched a basketball. soccer's still more fun.
went to eat tenderbest with terence, xianlong, raihan, khairul and faizal after that. actually my mother cooked, but since no one was really eating, i ordered some.
reach home around ten. met gianlong and musong at amk hub. i can get them for friday soccer!
it's gym tomorrow. and i don't know what's after that. but it's emath main exam this friday. differentiation and integration. i cleared my oop. now for math. and i'll be much free-ier. (:

soccer!!! ; Friday, February 15, 2008 23:44
i didn't go to school today. oop lab cancelled, and i don't think anyone's going telsys lecture.
go woken up by my sister at 9 this morning. apparently she forgot to bring her foolscape pad to school so i messaged 8pages of text to her. played fifa08 till 1230 then went to meet qiming at yck mrt for gym.
i think i hadn't gone gym for more than two weeks. everything but my height is shrinking. ate qiu lian ban mian at amk central s11 after that. price went up to $3, but it's still a big enough bowl to make one full.
amksec had inter-school soccer tournaments till 1830, meaning we would only use after that. went to play pool 'cause it was still early. lost 3-2. argh. it's proven that if you don't do something for a long time, you lose the skill.
went back home to take the ball, and went to dolphin to play court. the sun was scorching. i think i got tan again. sighh.
played till these ajc people came in. shiyuan came 5mins before that. we were too damn tired to play with them so we left. it was already 1815 then, so we decided to try our luck at the school field.
the people were leaving, so we went in to play. then people just came joining. both marcus(es), irwin, clinton and a few bb boys. i must admit my field positioning is atrocious. oh wells.
we only stopped at eight because we realised we couldn't see the ball. went to the canteen toilet to shower. then i thought of this. five years in school and never touched the shower before, and i'm only using it after i graduate.
anyway, soccer today was great. only it left me with a body which would cramp anytime. next worry now is oop. anyone willing to help? i've got an insane deadline on monday 3pm and i haven't done anything yet. :(

valentine's day ; Thursday, February 14, 2008 17:57
i knew i had this coming. and today has to be the worst valentine's day i ever knew.
why? not so because it signifies the last day of school. telsys presentation in the morning was OKAY. it's the oop. before we were interviewed, we got back two test papers. 4/10 for mcq quiz and 14.5/50 for labtest2.
it's simple for him to say, you did not meet the requirement and i can easily fail you. like, i know that? for not teaching the codes enough, how do you expect me to do? if i'm a genius i wouldn't be in infocomm.
no mood for anything after school, so headed home. and i'm SUPPOSED to be happy. oh wells.
somehow, i'll generate a code. can't afford to take the sup paper. no way.
today's vday?
it's insignificant.
+++
wednesday ; 00:44
wednesday's events were not the least planned.
to start the day, i got my formal g2000 stolen by fucking people 'cause i left them in webapp room after lesson.
emath2 after that. a hat-trick of fails.
differentiation quiz - 8/30
term test - 34/100
integration test - 13/30
i need a miracle for the main exam to avoid taking sup paper. and i only realised my shirt was missing during lunch at itas.
you know why they have to steal? 'cause they are too poor to afford when they know they can't study. who the fuck wants to steal a formal shirt? if i find out who did it i'll fuck them till they can't fuck for the next 30 years.
back to lessons. i had a four hour break. rehearsed french a little. weiseong kept forgetting his lines. anyway, i think the my group and minzhui's group were the worst. hoping to get at least a b for french.
went free access lab to do oop after that. didn't really accomplished much. stayed till 2130 as usual. i thought of sleeping by 2, but it seems impossible now. guess i'll have to give up my sleep today.
part of my french class

chinese new year day 3 ; Saturday, February 09, 2008 21:33
i was supposed to go swimming with my sister at 8, then visit my relative at 11. and all the timings went wrong when i woke up at 1015.
anyway, we reached zheeyi's house at 1145. they were supposed to go out at 12 but changed it to 130, thanks to us. it was a house-warming cum cny celebration 'cause it was the firs time we went there since they shifted.
kinda far from amk. off chuachukang at jelapang road block 502. they have a view like us, and heard they get to see the sunset and eagles. nice! (:
went to amk library after that to return 4 books due today. dumped dreamweaver books to borrow java ones. the last week of school seems the most stressful ones.
my sister came back from her friend's place and we went swimming. 16 laps and i'm beat. haven't swam since mid last year. my stamina has been dipping.
everyone except my mother was sleeping when we came home. my father suggested terpanyaki for dinner, so we hearded to northpoint. don't know of any other place that serves that. average food, $50.30 for 5 people. okayy, it's expensive.
and i'm home! the main soccer matches are tomorrow night, meaning i'll be sleepy when i reach school on monday.

chinese new year day 2 ; Friday, February 08, 2008 23:17
today was different.
my father suggested breakfast. we supposed that there would be at least some stalls opened today. so we tried the newly-opened market at amk central. guess what? we got a carrot cake stall, fishball noodles and a drink stall. and since they were the only stalls open, we had to wait that long. yeah.
zheeyi came over today. as in, one of my relatives. chatted for over an hour, then they left. 'cause we were seeing them again in the evening and tomorrow!
my father's boss invited us over to her house for house warming cum cny celebrations today. it was THAT big. i mean it.
like, 4 storeys excluding the basement? imported chinese-style doors from people staying in china, draw-bridge style steps at the side door, 2 taracotta soldiers in the hall. a swimming pool downstairs, badminton court upstairs and a gym beside. 11 plasma tvs, countless bedrooms, and this chute concept that you can throw your clothes down into the wash area.
heard her husband spent more than ten years thinking of the concept of the house. a genius.
after two hours, i was back to earth. it's a place that one could just see in awe. my dream house, maybe?
we left close to four. made our way home before dropping my brother at his friend's place in bishan. came home, rested for awhile and it was out again.
this time, it was for dinner at my aunt's house at jalan perminpin. contemplated visiting eloys before we left but was too held up talking and catching up.
this has to be one of the greatest cnys we every had. and the best thing is, there's no school tomorrow! i remembered once that cny day2 was on a sunday. then we had to leave early 'cause there was school the next day. but tomorrow is saturday!
i'll spend the most of my holidays, before slogging the last week of school. school? why let such a word spoil my happy occasion? (:

chinese new year day 1 ; Thursday, February 07, 2008 20:41
i don't really like the idea of cny. it makes me show my anti-social side. like, i'm closer to my maternal side than my paternal. and i know my parents are trying. they really are. sighh.
i woke up at 1030 today. was very tired last night. dozzed off after mass messaging people greetings at midnight.
every new year is the same. father's side in the morning, mother's side after that till night. there was a slight difference this year. i've a cousin studying in the states so she's not with us. aww.
and it's only the first day but we're all tired. the thought that i've got tonnes of work to be done after visiting really unsettles me. poly is sucky. three more weeks and i get my well deserved two month break. provided i do well. it's, why do i have to keep worrying myself over grades?
it's an empty and different feeling but i'll have to get over it.

chinese new year eve ; Wednesday, February 06, 2008 16:13
today's the eve of chinese new year. however, i don't seem to have and be in the cny mood. i don't know. it just feels different this year.
skipped school today 'cause there was only an hour of engmath2. don't think many people would be present anyway.
went back to amksec with gerald and qiming. shiyuan ps me. (:
noticed that there were more 5c people than 5b and 5a of 2005. wanna know why? but it sounds bad so i won't say it.
we saw lesser teachers today. i think we talked the longest to mrs lai. didn't see my ft msngkp, and mrtanwk isn't in singapore. so that wraps things up. sometimes, i'll still think and miss the fun times we had in secondary school.
tertiary is much different and so not fun. though, i'll try to make it to the fullest.
thanks for the company! (:
happy early cny people!!

done with webapp! ; Monday, February 04, 2008 19:33
webapp presentation is over. yay! (:
i went to school despite being still unwell today. and i thought there was netfund quiz so i reached school 0742. the whole class came before 9, only to realise that there was no netfund today because we made it up already few weeks ago.
webapp wasn't as bad as i thought it is. and we were rushing for time as usual. but we got over it. well, it's done. let's not think about it anymore.
then i went for math. i don't know why too. i should be at home resting. but anyway, i'm back already.
I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL TOMORROW. wanna know why? i didn't submit my mc today. wed is a self-declared break. going back to amksec. anyone going back?

cny clothes ; Sunday, February 03, 2008 11:21
i bought my cny clothes yesterday. gerald accompanied me. it's hard to shop when you don't know what you want.
i was actually looking for abercrombie and fitch. then the home paper reported a raid at far east plaza. so lucky.
tried bugis street but couldn't find anything. eventually bought a shirt from pmk in bugis junction. i didn't know everyone was like me, doing last minute shopping. there isn't much space for one to navigate.
took a train down to far east plaza. ended going to wisma. walked through the new orchard mrt opening! bought my second shirt from french connection. i spent $82 on two shirts! poor. (:
lan after that as usual. i'm beginning to like team fortress again!
and i was feeling unwell when i reached home. sleepless night, waking up every 20mins. finally saw a doctor this morning. 2 days mc but what's the use? i've got webapp presentation tmr. zz.

countdown: 13 more days ; Saturday, February 02, 2008 00:39
it's two more weeks before study week and then main exams. something i'm definately not looking forward to. but before that, it's lots of project submission and presentation.
i managed to finish our webapp ppt in 30mins. then i was doing something i couldn't believe i was. helping our people with their project! well, i could say i didn't really do anything mainly because i did the admin pages and most of their problems arose with the search.dwt.asp page.
maybe there was some hidden intention in there. allsmiles(:
but i did feel bad having to leave halfway and not completing the pages for them. terence had waited 20mins for me and i was late for meeting gerald at yck at 6pm for gym. it was quite hard-hearted today. lol.
WEBAPP PRESENTATION IS ON MONDAY. the presentation wouldn't kill me that much. it's the question shooting that'll do all the damage.
AND ACTUALLY MY CHINESE NEW YEAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER, BUT we're supposed to finish oop during the weekend and there's telsys presentation on the following thursday. it's all so cramped up.
sighh. terence knows why. and it's all his fault. (:
