4B'05 class outing yesterday was great with a capital G (:

Met up with Yolanda and Yilun earlier before that and we had a good chat just by sitting on the bench outside Mac.Complained about our schools blah and stuff.Later on we met up with 4B'05 at this strange Japanese 'restaurant'.Not exactly that strange but the ambience was totally off?Anyway,we had great fun and it was comforting to see our ex classmates again.Stayed till 10pm and we were like taking our own sweet time to leave?Haha,theres another so called outing tomorrow but I'm not sure whether I can make it.You see,I've loads of stuff to do...

Yeah my PW group show Ms Leow our WR draft again.This time the mistakes seem afew,which is great because it shows that our chionging and determination pays off.Haha,she said it was 'more or less okay'.Thanks Mr Subash,he was the one that told us to restructure the whole thing even though he was our maths teacher.Er weird hur.

The promos are coming real soon!Everybody screaaaaaaam!*arrrrgggghhhh* like whatever.Hadn't start revision yet and I know I must do it real soon because I DON'T WANT TO RETAIN.Alright,actually theres nothing really shameful about this retaining thing but personally for me,retaining means I'm letting my parents down(like duh) because they are pinning all their hopes on me.And it also means that I'm overaged.I don't like the sound of that,do you?

Sometimes I feel I'm too paranoid in terms of my studies and I really think too far off,like what courses in poly should I take if I failed my promos or something.Yeah I ought to relax man.This isn't right.And I really think that we should not treat the polys as a dumping ground or something because the level of difficulty for both poly and JC is around the same.Yeah face it,if you can't do well in JC,I don't see why you can do very well in poly because studying requires DISCIPLINE.I feel what Ms Yamuna says is very right-You don't need to have Einstein's IQ to ace your As,on the contrary,you need to put in alot of hard work and get things done(well I paraphrase it haha)Yeah,just some motivation for you guys out there who are feeling vexed over your studies and promos,and also for myself,who is starting to feel the symptoms..

Alrighty,thats about it.Shall blog more when i have the time.Till then,studying mode!(:

Hadn't post for a while.Shall recount some of the significant events.

Friday

Went for a movie with half of my classmates.Watched Ghost Game at Orchard Cineleisure if I'm not wrong.Haha its interesting to see them scream and hiding behind their bags at the supposedly scary parts of the movie.I'm surprise that Chin Siang and Choun Eng are scared of this type of movie?Hello,I thought you guys would fall asleep during the midst of the movie haha.Anyway,I've advise you not to watch it.Its sooo boring in the sense that the ghost seems fake and looks like a replica of the adult JuOn.Oh and Comrade Jium looks like Mao Tse Tung?See it for yourself!

Shopped for Chin Siang's bag after the movie.Well,not exactly shopped since she bought the bag at the first shop she went in?Haha,if it were for me,I would take hours to decide on one.Anyway,her bag cost $29.90,a bargain eh.

Saturday

Slept for most parts of the day.Hasn't felt this tired for a long long time.I simply slept till my head was splitting.Oh and apparently I didnt meet Weng Kin and Ocm to collect the WR draft because I didnt know my cell was off.Felt really guilty about it.Anyway collect it from them in the evening and rushed on it.I really detest correcting the WR draft!The mistakes are never ending and new ones keep appearing after each session with Ms Leow.Yeah the deadline is nearing and I hope we don't screwed up big time.

Had Mac for dinner.I realised I ate fast food at least twice a week hur.But the funny thing is that I'll never grow fat.Envy me?Haha don't hit me.Hopefully my high metabolism rate doesnt stop when I aged,lest I become a ball of fats given my input of junk food.

Sunday

Took 3 hours to finish my WR draft.Put in alot of sweat in it.Hopefully Ms Leow don't find fault in it.I've realised that I've forgotten to do my Chem Tutorial!*horrors*Well I'm not exactly that frightened,it has become a conditioned reflex.

Anyway,my eyes are hurting.Been staring at the screen for God knows how many hours.Shall end here (:

Great,my maths Vector tutorial is still not done.And I promised my clique that I will treat them to a feast if I fail to finish it tomorrow.Uh oh.

Slept through maths lecture today.Really can't force myself to be awake and listen to Mr Chu.Not that he is boring or what,but I just don't have the mood to pay attention.Sometimes you just wished that you can have some time to yourself and ponder over things which kinda bothers you in some way or another.Its not really negative to be worrying over trivial matters because at least you still can feel and have emotions,in other words,you do not give up on yourself totally.So thats alright in my humble opinion.Yeah,and I sort things out during the lecture.

I just received an email from a friend and in it were pictures of the US troops caring for the Iraqis.At the bottom of the photos,it wrote on how the news always paint a one sided view on the ongoing war between the US and Iraq.The US are always depicted as the bad guys who kill innocent civilians as shown in the Guantanamo incident.Yeah,it may be true that the US troops did commit the crimes,but lets not be biased and have a myopic view of this brouhaha.The US troops did care for the Iraqis to a certain extent too,if not,greater than we previously thought.Why am I saying all this?I thought that the moral behind the email applies so greatly to our lives.I felt that we should remove the speck of dust in our eyes before we pass any judgement on anything.Often,we have a certain perspective towards a particular issue,be it the way we view others or our attitude towards our studies/work.Why not make it a point to discover whats really behind these issues and address them in an impartial way?You will be surprise on how biased you really are.

Shopping plus movie day with my clique tomorrow.Going Bugis yeah!Its been quite a while since I went out and enjoy myself.Gosh I'm a country pumpkin=P Okie dookie,shall round up for now.Bye!

My computer is going crazy.RAH.

Hate it when things don't go smoothly for me.Like for example I'm extremely pissed when my com refuse to load the web page within 2 seconds or when there are pop ups here and there.Or you should say I'm kinda a perfectionist.Hmm anyway my com is insane.Hopefully I get to post this entry up before my com decided to take a rest and shut down automatically.

Heard the slow version of Everytime We Touch on Perfect ten just now.The techno version sucks totally.Anyway,my mind is filled with those strange memories.I don't know how to explain it,but somehow or rather,I felt happy and bitter at the same time.Its those kind of memories whereby all the good part of it comes before the unfortunate tragic part.But the tragic part makes you understand the true meaning of life and it changes your perspective on certain things which you stand so firm on initially.So in other word it is not that bitter after all.

I wonder whether you will read my blog and also whether you still remember me after all these months.I sincerly apologised for anything that I have done wrongly or correctly as well.Anyway of course I'll still remember you even though we have not met for like 5 months?Blame it on my good memory haha.A note for you-Forgive and forget.Don't hold on to the past and wallow in self pity.It's not worth your time and your brain cells.Putting it in harsh words,perhaps its time to change your perspective on certain people,including me.People WILL change,trust me for once.If you need help or you beg to differ,feel free to contact me.

I'll learn to let go,what about you?

I met my primary school friend in JJ today!Well was walking to school today when someone approached me and ask me whether I am Patricia.I couldn't recognised her at first because I'm still in a daze and was in the middle of the road.Haha but she still look the same though.Yeah Joyce I still remember you(:

Attend the bloody Chinese Riddle competition held at our school today.Wonder why our class always has to be the audiences for those cheena competitions!Anyway,had lunch with Chin Siang at the hawker near our school after the whole thing.Hmm I like hawker fare but not the ambience though.But sometimes the ambience does makes the food more tasty.That's why food at those roadside stalls always taste better than those from the classier restaurants.

What I am going to do later:

1. Hydroxy compounds tutorial
2.Chinese compo(hate it!)
3.Vectors tutorial

I need a haircut!But I can't bear to part with my hair):
Haha the melodies of life(:

Ouch my stomach hurts.

Got back the rest of my common tests results.I'm kinda glad that I have made improvements in every subjects but my BIO,argh it makes me puke blood.5 out of 6 people from my clique failed,including me of course.Ranked 112th out of 180.Urgh,real humiliating and maddening.Enough said.

Suddenly remembered something that my GP teacher said.Comparison.How I hate it when people compare themselves with me.And how I detest it when I found myself comparing with others subconciously.Yeah you may say comparison with others drives you to achieve more or whatever crap,but I think I'll rather waste my brain cells on more productive stuffs.However,on the other note,downward comparison gives you reassurance.I always count my blessings when I know that at least I'm not the weakest link in class(no offence here) or when I feel more fortunate than others in terms of material things.

Okay I don't know what I'm rambling about,haha maybe I've run out of things to write or simply just brain dead.Oh Hon Mun asked me to support him in his Wushu competition on Saturday together with Cindy.Eh Wushu?Weird right?So far somemore hur.Can I give it a miss please?Haha shall see then.

Vectors tutorial here I come!My brain is starting to protest now.Well wish me luck.

Not sure whether its due to my zero iron intake or what,but I've been feeling rather fatigue for the past few days.I can even fell asleep when chatting with my peeps on MSN.Yawn...

Had a haircut early this morning.The early bird catches the worms.Haha,not really applicable here.Anyway,I only had my fringe cut and its super duper cheap.$2!!!I was like 'hur,Auntie,really ar?'.Yeah,the salon was those old school kind,not fanciful and stuff but hey,I had my haircut there for the past 4 years and I think its great.

Went to Queensway just now to print some stuff.You know what,I print my EoM and the article there for just $0.40!So cheap hur.Second deal for the day haha.Oh and under my instigation,my mum bought this Singapore Sweep ticket for $3.The draw date is 16 August and the first prize is 2 million buckaroos!I sound like a typical auntie hur but imagine being 2 million dollar richer at the expense of $3.Who don't want that?But the probability of winning that is like -_- la.Shucks forgot how to calculate probability already,wonder how I got that A1 for Emaths haha.

Gonna do written report draft later plus some reading up for Vectors.Okay tata=)

WOOHOO I passed my Maths common test!=)

I would never thought that I could pass Maths since it is a subject that I constantly struggle with.Hmm,beginning to feel that my efforts does pay off.Well,I must do better next time!Yeah promos coming in around 6 weeks time,not much time left.Urgh,hopefully I don't convert to my old ways and start procrastinating again.Yeah,should study from now on=)

I'm in high spirits!Sometimes the words people say really makes up your day.Someone said something encouraging to me just now and it really spurs me on to work harder for my Maths.Thank you=)

Going to eat my dinner now.Been bingeing on junk food for the past few days and am feeling guilty about it.Wonder what's up for dinner hur.Hmm,fish soup!Could smell the aroma from my room here.That's all for the day.Enjoy your Friday!(:

My blog is getting simpler and smaller=)

I'm so free at home that I've decided to change my blogskin yet again.Okay,I promise that this is gonna be my last one.Yeah,hopefully you will go blind after reading my entry from that squinting haha.

Basically I've been slacking at home for the past 2.5 days.Really can't be bothered to get some stuffs done.I stand firm by my belief that holidays are meant for relaxing okays!Can't imagine myself burying my head in some dusty textbooks,urgh.Then again,the politically correct response will be to strike a balance between both aspects.So I think I'm going to get some work done later.Most probably the Bio tutorial on Nervous System due tomorrow and perhaps a little on DNA and Genomics.Pretty serious stuff hur.Oh and hope I don't fall prey to sleep.

Went to ripway.com to check why my song isn't playing.Apparently some birdbrains has been using up the allocated 30mb worth of bandwidth for the song.That means the song couldn't be played if those birdbrains keep refreshing my blog just to listen to the song or view it multiple times throughout the day.I believe the former is more likeable after I analyse the traffic for my blog.Hmm,watch out.

Going to bathe now.Can't wait for school tomorrow,yeah right.

Oh great,feeling feverish all over.I think I'm gonna fall sick soon=(

Desperately inhaling the air through my mucus laden nostrils.Yucks I know.Had been like this since yesterday morning.Wonder what's up with my nose hur.Oh and the air,its filled with smoke and particles from the burning of incense papers and joss sticks.I'm not trying to be seditious or insensitive okay,just that I hope this burning thing could end soon.I'm beginning to feel rather nausea after breathing in those polluted air.AH CHOO!

Watched the NDP from my television just now.Haha really reminiese those times whereby I was part of the marching contingient during the actual parade 3 years ago.I remembered that I was a bundle of nerves when I stepped onto the tempulin because I was so afraid of fainting during the hour long ceremony.Haha,indeed a once in a lifetime experience for me=)

Enough said,my neighbours started burning incense papers again.At this time??Oh my poor nostrils!Argh,rattle my bones!

Check out Supermassive Black Hole,the latest hit single by Muse!Fwah what a catchy song,godlike manz.The video is cool too,even though I don't really know what its all about.Heres the lyrics:

Ooh baby, don't you know I suffer
Ooh baby, can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretences
How long before you let me go?

Ooh, you set my soul alight
Ooh, you set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar sucked into... [Into the supermassive]

I thought I was a fool for no-one
Ooh baby, I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
How long before you tell the truth?

Ooh, you set my soul alight
Ooh, you set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar sucked into... [Into the supermassive]

Supermassive black hole...
Supermassive black hole...
Supermassive black hole...
Supermassive black hole...

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar sucked into... [Into the supermassive]

Supermassive black hole...
Supermassive black hole...
Supermassive black hole...
Supermassive black hole...

ON YOUR SPEAKERS.Haha.I like the way the lead singer croons to the song.

Anyway,two and a half days of holidays awaiting for me in 5 hours time=)

Do you sometimes admire those people who look good even though they are not clad in the most trendy or nicest clothings and accessories?Well,I do.Some people look charming in their tees and jeans even when they do not have good looks in the first place.Hmm,what causes this 'illusion' actually?I wanna know.

Anyway,I did something abnormal just now.I did a reflection on what I have done in the year 2006.Yeah,its too early to draw a conclusion as to whether you have done something productive for the year or you have basically wasted them away.But on the other hand,you are left with four months to achieve your New Year resolutions(I hope you still remember).Sounds scary and desperate hur.Well its gonna sounds cliche but I must say that time really flies.On 01.01.06 when the clock struck midnight,I thought that 2006 is going to be a long and dreadful year.Well,the latter is true but the former is not.Year 2006 is going to be over soon.Have you guys done what you should have been doing?Do you feel regretful over certain actions that you have taken?I shall ask you again on the last day of the year.

The speed whereby the recent years passed scares me.For all we know,our golden age might be reaching soon.Then death would eventually come.When death comes,I wonder how I would react?Will my eyes be filled with tears of sorrow,and a heart full of regrets?Or will I gasp for the air,stubbornly refusing to depart from this world?In both scenarios,one expression is present.Fear.The fear of losing your loved ones,the fear of going to hell or perhaps the fear of eternal rest.How ironic it is that we are now constantly finding more time to sleep when we should be doing otherwise.

To be honest,I'm afraid of death.You will be lying if you disagree with me.Everybody fears death to a certain extent,including Christians.I fear death because I knew that I will cease to exist after my passing on.I don't know why I'm saying all these now.I'm not hinting to you about anything anyway.And I hope I don't sounds suicidal as well.Well,I need some sleep I guess.

The song that is currently playing in my blog sounds English right?Haha,its actually in Japanese!Not a new song but nevertheless,something worth appreciating.

Buying my H2 textbooks at the Popular Expo sale tomorrow!Or rather today,since its past midnight now.SO GROSS EH,buying TEXTBOOKS during sales hur.But I seriously need them to aid in my understanding of certain topics.Haiz,$68 for a textbook =/

I recently read quite a couple of blogs and I must say that I'm disgusted by the writing styles of certain bloggers.Pardon me if I have offended you but anyway you should not feel the least bit upset about it unless you have one of the writing styles that I disapprove of.Here it goes =)

Writing styles that Pat disapprove of:-

1.An entry full of lingo,short forms and deriatives of certain words

Eg:

todae i saw my ex.he ish so shuai leh!long time no see him he change liao.i ish abit de regret but moi fren told me to put everything in de past lor.haiz,i ish quite sad la...

I'm even sadder after I read your entry.

2.Entry consisting of one sentence per paragraph.

Eg:

Haha,went shopping with XXX today.

Quite fun,nearly bought the whole shop down.

I love my Ed Hardy tee,it rocks!

What a bother.

3.When the blogger start calling their boyfriend/girlfriend uncool 'alternative' names

Eg:

I ish love my bao bei to bits!

Lao gong I love you!

My dear dear call me just now..

I want to hug my princess/husband/wife blah blah blah

Oh please,it sound so freaking cheena and unromantic okay!I think there are better names to call your significant other right?

4.Entry full of profanities

Eg

She is a *****,he is a ***** *insert whatever profanities you can think of*

Hello,the world doesn't need someone to dampen their mood right?

Haha,take what I wrote above with a pinch of salt.Remember that nobody is perfect and its natural for a human to err.Its not that its a must to write with perfect English.Its just that in order for others to understand you,you must first make sure your entries are readable and not a sore to the eyes.Enough said,let me end this entry with a quote.

"A life directed chiefly toward the fulfillment of personal desires sooner or later always leads to bitter disappointment."-Albert Einstein.

WOOHOO MY COMMON TESTS ARE OVER!!!

Stupid things that I have done during my common tests for the various subjects:-

>Chemistry

1. Going to the toilet at the beginning of the Chemistry paper.
Invigilator: The time now is 8.15am and you may begin.
Me: *scrambles to the toilet*

Did I mention that I've spent 13mins in the toilet?One of the female teachers was so worried that she came to check on me.Hmm..

>Biology

1. Not bringing any pencils for my Biology Paper One(MCQ).For those of you who are senile,you need to shade your answer in the lozenges of the OTAS/OMR (whatever you call that).

2.Spent 5 hours studying for Photosynthesis and Respiration and forgetting 99.9% of it during the paper.

3.Spent 30mins studying for Components of Membrane and attempted an essay question(well the other option was on Respiration) on it during the paper.

>Maths

1.Trying to recall the formula for Partial Fractions when it could be found on the first page of the paper.

2.Staple my answer sheets wrongly.I took 3 mins to undo the staple with my ruler because my stapler does not have that blade at the end.

The worst of all:-

I dropped my pencil case on the floor before the papers and all my ink pen went out of ink(including my lucky pen who brought me success for my O Level)=(

Anyway,its kinda silly that I've committed so many exams' taboo!Keeping my fingers crossed now.Yawn I'm tired.Shall blog later.
