Tests are coming

It has been about two weeks since I have blogged. I have been busy lately and my little bro, as usual likes to hog the computer and staying up in long nights. Every day at around nine plus, I will be doing newspaper articles cutouts, drawing mindmaps. That is certainly a mundane task to do and that costs me one hour of my time. Besides, I am starting to lose track of my tutorials and I start to slack for the past few weeks. Am I losing stamina or will to fight this long battle this year for the final showdown in November? I can't certainly give up now. No matter what, I will certainly try my best. For the chemistry test which has happened two weeks ago, hmm, it was manageable. Besides, I had also taken the general paper test just last Monday. The topic in the paper was related to the things that I had happened during project work. That was some sort of an advantage to me as I could comprehend and understand more clearly with my background knowledge of the issue.
For next week, it will be Maths and Physics Test. I hope that I can score well in these two tests but in order to achieve something, one must always work hard first.

Chemistry Test coming

After the joyous Chinese New Year's celebrations, the idea of Chemistry soon appear in my mind. I have to work like a mugger like a nerd to try to squeeze all the information that I have learnt into my brain. I have almost studied all the chapters but I still need practise to apply the concepts that I have learnt.

2nd day of Chinese New Year

Gong Xi Fa Cai. It is now Chinese New Year. For this year Chinese New Year, it is the same as the other years Chinese New Year. We went around visiting relatives in other parts of Singapore. In the first day of the lunar calender, our family visited my grandma's house to wish my grandparents a happy and a joyous new year. At around early afternoon, we accompanied with our grandparents for a visit to their relatives. However, my little sis was not feeling well at that moment, my mum and my sis went home instead. That sort of dampened the spirit of CNY.
In the second day of the lunar calender, we also went around to visit the relatives from my mother's side. I feel very satisfying today as I have helped my mum to grind the corns and fry a dish which I am not aware of the name yet. I also attempt to learn a game called Da Lao 2 by observing my relatives playing with each other. However, there are lessons in school tomorrow. What a bummer.

Chinese New Year

Time has passed by quickly. Everywhere I go, I hear CNY Songs, singing here and singing there, singing Gong Xi Fa Cai. The Chinese New Year's atmosphere can be felt by almost every part of Singapore where there are lots of New Year decorations and the roads are adorned with beautiful festive lights.
Yesterday, I went out with my family to buy new year goodies at Hougnag Point. The amount that we have spent to buy those goodies is just short of 50 cents to a hundred dollars. The things that we have bought includes titbits, noodles, rice, ice cream and so on.
For today, I feel a sense of achievement because I clean the computer table and wipe all the dust on the monitor, Central Processing Unit and the Printer, and the Scanner. Cleaning may seem simple but actually it is hard work. I hope that New Year can come soon so that I can collect Hongbaos.

Sad day

My blood is boiling today. It starts out to be a bad day when Diana says I am selling fishes. Why? This is just simply because of the fact that I have not helped her to carry the dictionary to the classroom. I just wonder that whether or not if she has a pair of hands. If she has, why not she do it herself rather than me doing it? And besides, I have many things to carry such as my worksheet file and my bag and my dictionary.
After that, Diana later just talks about anything that crosses her mind. She is very straightforward in her remarks. She told Chin Kai and Hsueh Yu in a very angry tone about her starting a bad day waiting for a taxi for 20 minutes. That's all that she had waited, only 20 minutes. For me, I waited for a bus for half an hour. After that, I just keep mum and remain quiet. After that, during tutorial lessons, Diana just started to sprout nonsense by saying about Singapore and so on.
Time can really tell anything. Friends can become enemies in just a moment because of certain conflicts. Therefore, I always maintain a distance with friends. Today is certainly a bad day for me and I think that I won't want to waste time talking to this kind of person anymore.

Haven't blogged for 10 days

Wow, 10 days have passed in the blinking of an eye. I think these 10 days are quite enriching.

23rd of January 2005
A typical Sunday for me as my family including me went to my grandma's house for a visit.

24th of January 2005
A start of a new school day for me. I always hate Monday because Mondays are days when I have to carry my big and bulky bag with me all the way to my school Anderson Junior College. For today, I have set targets for my General Paper grades. Sigh!!! General Paper is a big headache. It seems so easy and yet I can't score well. It tests basically on analytical and thinking skills which is in lay man terms, common sense. Does that mean that I don't even possess common sense at all? Sigh!!!

25th of January 2005
Another typical school day for me. For today, I have a pe lesson on this day. I ran for 12 rounds successfully. Phew!!! Luckily, I did not give up in this run. A sense of satisfaction overwhelmed me after I have successfully finished the perilous run of 4.8 km round the track.

26th of January 2005
Another typical day for me except that on this day, I have chess. Chess is a CCA which helps me to enhance my planning skills as one has to predict what wll happen or the consequences of the moves that one has made. Chess is fundmentally a "destresser" for me. Yay. After chess, I went to Funan IT Mall but however the Canon Customer Care Service Centre was already closed. What a wasted trip.

27th of January 2005

Another typical school day for me. Nothing special has happened.

28th of January 2005

For this day, it was a very long day for me. I thought that today is quite a short day until I walked past the noticboards in the canteen and I saw two words. The two words are "Chess" and "Chinese". Next, then I knew that all JC2 students have to go for chess trainings today. What a notice at the eleventh hour. The chess training commences at half past four and ceases at 7pm. I initially intended to go Funan IT Mall to get Free Canon Ink and Photo Paper but it seems like I have to postpone the trip. What a bummer.

29th of January 2005

For this day, I accompany my mum and my little sister and my little brother to have a buffet in one of the restaurants at Orchard Road. The price is about ten dollars for each person. I just eat and eat and eat. I eat two bowls of rice, took some braised duck meat and eggs and taupok and lastly salty veggies. I also ate tau suanand two cups of milk tea. What a relaxing day for me. After having a sumptuous meal, we all went to my realatives' house. My cousins were playing Playstation Games. I remember one of the games which involves driving a car and stealing cars from people. lol. That was quite a funny game. The main character just drag the person out of the car and he himself just went into the car and drive off.

30th of January 2005

On this day, I went surfing with Diana in Sentosa. Surfing looks easy but it is very difficult. My hands get exhausted easily and I have to continue this swinging movement in order to move in this 300 metres surfing route. As my hands were slapping into the sea water, the water keep splashing and some of this water moleclules actually lands into my mouth. The first thing that crosses my mind is that the sea water is very salty. The salt concentration in the sea water is even higher than the veggies that my mother has always cooked. I also talk to Rick and we sort of gossip about Diana. lol. And Diana wants me to divulge the secret. However, my reply is the word, NN+1. Guess what is this word, the answer is NO!. lol

31st of January 2005

This day is a tiring day and long day but yet an enriching day for me. Why? Let me explain. In the morning, I have an rigorous exercise on my mind, training my mind to think and think and think. That's what Singapore wants- students to think critically. In the afternoon, I also have a rigorous exercise but for this time, the excerise is physically rather than mentally. That is also what Singapore wants, to have a healthy body and healthy minds. Sigh!! That's why AJC plans to have a Cross Country this Monday afternoon. For this Monday afternoon, the weather was good. I got myself all heated up to prepare for this long and perilous run to Mount ... Wrong towards the finishing point. I accompany Ben all the way from the starting point to the finishing point and I got the 288th position. Cool rite?? On that day, Shiqi, a person with hidden talents and looks demure and childish, actually can run. Never judge a book by its cover and never underestimate the depth of the water by just looking at the swimming pool. The timing that she got is 17 minutes which is the time that I require to run 2.4 km. lol. After the Cross Country Meet, the buses are jammed with AJC students. I had to wait for the seventh bus 156 in order to go home. The waiting time is approximately 45 minutes. For that whole night, I am pondering why Shiqi can suddenly run very fast. Not trying to say that she is lousy but she has certainly changed my way of doing at things. She has the motivation and of course stamina. For this Cross Country, what is important is the motivation, the determination to clinch the award. For me, apparently, I don't have much because my stomach starts to grumble a lot when I start to run long distances.

To Shiqi

Good memories of laughter and self proclaimation is always remembered and embedded in my mind as I start to wonder when this rumour starts. Thanks for everything and remember to stay happy :)


1st of Feburary 2005

Today marks the start of a new month. For today, after school, I rushed to Funan It Mall by train to get Canon Ink Cartidge and free photo papers. Phew!! I got them but I arrived late for my Alpha List Meeting. I think that I have to enrich myself further. My leadership qualities are still inferior as I still lack of confidence.
