ok I'm sleepy but I realised that this blog looks pretty dead so yeah I guess I ought to update it.
oh wait the 25th seemed so long ago.
must have been GP.
anyway GP was totally disgusting. like the essay was total crap. mainly cos I didn't quite read the question properly. oops. so like the focus of the essay was totally off.
bleargh.
then the compre was like impossible [especially the summary]. and somehow now I'm taking longer and longer to do short-answer questions. maybe it's cos of his emphasis on 'accuracy' and whatnot. and the paraphrasing. bleh.
so that one was disgusting.
at least she extended the PW so I didn't die that badly after GP.
[yeah but I died once the hols started but that one is an extremely long story].
and I'm really sleepy now so I can get quite incoherent.
hmm so anyway after thursday which was like the last day of school - oh and I can barely remember what happened on thursday except that some idiot crashed the afternoon chemRA lecture but nevermind let's not go there I need to get this post done with - oh yes on thursday I brought 5 sets of clothes to school.
like uniform + PE + concert + for sleepover + friday outing.
cos our class had an outing-sleepover-outing thing. lol.
so what happened was going to kewei's guitar concert. but first yiyan and I stopped by to pick up some flowers after school while the rest took their time eating. then went to the guitar concert which was quite lol but in terms of music was ...
yeah but the audience was quite crazy. and some of the songs were nice.
so after the concert walked to lau pa sat to meet those who didn't go for the concert. and then went to eat some more. until we realised that we had better run else we'd miss the bus to hongen's house.
so we chionged to clementi and looked kinda silly running to the bus stop. where I discovered that the last bus left way past midnight [it was only what 1130].
so yeah went to chew's house then crashed. then started playing stuff like dota and cluedo [danielng is pro but I've got good eyesight XD] and [floating] bridge. and speaking of bridge I've never really played it in term2 so yeah I totally suck now. but floating bridge with contract-style dealing is fun. like me and ziyang going to 4 diamonds ._. so anyway played until about 3 or 4am.
then by right everyone was supposed to sleep. but then ziyang and zhiyuan and guo decided to start talking.
and I have insomnia so I listened.
then I drifted off to sleep at 5 and woke up about 20 min later. when they were still talking.
then I was in this half-asleep half-awake state for the next 30 min or so. then finally they decided to sleep. but problem is it was late 5am and my body clock was telling me that it was about time to wake up anyway. so in the end they slept but I didn't.
so I remained in this half-asleep half-awake state [but more awake than anything] until about 630 when it started getting kinda bright. then at about 720 when the sun came up chew's mom came in with the food and stuff.
so yeah I got up. cos I was lying down thinking like before that. and cos there was no point sleeping since I kinda decided to wake everyone up at 8 cos they were saying something about chew's family coming down and seeing a mass of dead bodies. and when ziyang and zhiyuan finally shut up it was 6am so to me there was no point in getting <2h of sleep.
and also it was in part cos of the body clock and my insomnia and whatnot.
so anyway yeah I had breakfast early. with yiyan who slept at 4. then talked for a bit while the rest slowly woke up.
and then had breakfast again.
then like spent the morning talking and planning for the outing to WCP. then like at about 10am we realised we had to leave an hour later if we were to get there on time.
and the whole house was a mess and most of us hadn't showered.
so mad rush to get out [and kewei left his roses on the floor overnight so they were pretty dead]. then we went to get food for the picnic at WCP. and zhiyuan and I got bottles of fun stuff.
then bus to clementi and then WCP. then yeah we screwed around and ate and everything. but noone brought a bottle opener so it was quite funny seeing zhiyuan try to open his bottle. in the end ziyang forced it open on a rock or sth like that. I used my school badge to prise mine open. XD
so yeah WCP was quite fun [and way better than ECP] until it started to rain. so bus to jurong east [but we didn't get off cos mr lu thought there was no shelter when actually I think there was based on what I experienced during SSEF] so we landed at bukit batok.
so I decided to take a train up to woodlands. and then bus back. and on the bus ride back I totally had no idea what was going on cos I was like totally gone. lol.
oh and after the whole outing thingy I ended up quite broke.
like cos on thursday morning I bought a packet of jellybeans. cos I was hungry. so I ended up finishing the whole packet before lessons ended for that day. and in that packet was 160% of my recommended sugar intake. oops.
oh and I ate breakfast in period 2 and lunch in period 5.
then there was dinner and then more food at lau pa sat. then there was still lunch and picnic food and ice cream at bukit batok. so like altogether I think I spent close to 30 bucks those 2 days. and that was excluding kewei's concert ticket ._.
but was quite fun though.
ok I think the paragraphs above are an incoherent rambling mess but who cares. shall not reread and edit. hee.
and now to sleep

oh man I so should be mugging for GP right now.
but then again who really cares?
I need to get my blog up to date first. hmm.
ok chemO selection was a total disaster. like organic was total wtf. but physical was rather doable except for me forgetting Kstab and dG = -RTlnK. oops. and inorg was yay! except that I kinda messed up the crystal/ligand field splitting question. heh.
but whatever what's done is done so yeah.
and according to mr lu I should start mugging. and drop some of my commitments. but like mugging is totally lifeless. and really these outside commitments [RC, humans] are what makes JC life a lot more bearable/fun. and that's why I keep camping in the canteen during my free blocks and talking to random people instead of going to the library to do work which is totally overdue. and this is one of the reasons why I'm still not very close to 6I. way too mugger. bleh.
I miss 4H.
ok but actually 6I is rather decent [and of course I'd take 6I over 6L anytime. but I'm not too sure if I'd go 3E or 6I. cos 3E is a lot more fun with people like welras russell leonggen and a girl named brenda who's really a guy. so it's like why I sit with them during chemRA lectures.]
ok but before I get carried away let's go back to 6I.
CT reps are yay. and like the most involved monitors I've ever had in 4 years. lol.
let's see ziyang is very very different from what I thought of him in RI. like I used to think he was damn mugger/boring and all that [and I really still don't have that a good impression of the RIPB/council now]. but yeah he's actually a rather crazy guy and the CT rep who's been doing most of the work.
then the other CT rep aka the KI boy is immature. and retarded hence fun to laugh at. and laugh with [at ziyang's fails]. and he's also very noob at reversi.
hmm then who else. 4H people in 6I are nice as expected [matt, xiuzhen, ewan, danieltay]. and it's fun being racist and elitist with daniel. xiuzhen is as hilarious as usual just that thanks to GP it isn't as funny as it was with pat. ewan tries too hard but he's nice. matthew blinks! oh the only problem is with my PW groupmate waichoong - both of us keep fighting ._.
hmm from the 4F guys - danielng is nice just that he's like part 6L. lol. hezhiyuan is another crazy one. and he's very bitchy. chew is a nice guy and reliable. and good at counselling people. especially ziyang. kewei has a disgusting haircut. and he's fun to bully.
and the girls are all damn nice. and not bitchy. and like tianran is a very interesting character. XD
yeah problem is none of the fun people are in geog. and since geog periods always clash with econs [i.e. geog is free when econs isn't and vice versa] so my free blocks tend to be quite sian. and geog tutorials are also especially sian but that's enough material for another post.
also since the fun people take physRA [and the only physRP people in 6I are those who don't do econs ._.] physics tutorials are also rather zzz. but at least there are 2 people from 6K in my tutorial who program their GCs every lecture and tutorial. and my physics class only has 15 people. and I believe only 2 of these have english names.
ok so yeah it's a very mixed bag but yeah it could have been worse!
so yay. and like we have a lot of class outings.
and now I should go back to GP. ugh.
oh yes I need to rant about it.
another time then.
oh and I slept at 2 yesterday thanks to FPS. and after GP I have to chiong PW ._. which will probably mean another late night. gosh.
but then again who really cares?

2. cut my hair ._.
3. get sleep
4. read all the books I've borrowed from the library
5. spend my book vouchers before I forget about them all over again
and what am I doing? updating this thing. XD
mainly cos I think this blog has been dead long enough. and cos I'm really bored and cos I don't feel like starting on anything on the list. which will probably get me into some trouble soon enough.
and I wonder how many people actually have discovered that I've started updating this thing again. cos like yeah last year I know this blog had a whole bunch of stalkers WHO REFUSE TO TAG but after [close to] 5 months of inaction I wonder how many still come here.
hmm.
ok I probably should continue with where I left off which was somewhere in term 1.
so anyway I kinda screwed up my CCA transcript and everything already cos I ponned too much of bridge AND oneearth so like no position whatsoever. yay. and of course I refuse to join any science-related CCAs ._.
ok wait I'm getting ahead of myself and I don't think this post is in chronological order anymore.
wait it never was.
ok nevermind let's just take things as they appear.
hmm so anyway I've been ponning cos I've been going back to RI. i.e. the secondary one for those of you who think RJ is now called RI ._.
cos in case you didn't already know I'm helping out with RIRC [still]. and for those who knew me in like sec2/3 it's rather shocking I know. in fact come to think of it at times I still can't believe I'm actually going back to a CCA that .... [fill it in yourself]. yeah also I was training the geogRA sec3s for NUS GC [which they won. shockingly] for a large part of term1 and 2. in fact cos of RC and GC I ended up going for 42 hours without sleep on 2 days in the march hols. lol.
ok wait more about GC it's supposedly the most prestigious geo comp in Singapore [and yes the winner this year gets to go for the nat geo international thingy which is either in USA or sydney]. but IMHO the rigour of the competition has really dropped. so yeah although we didn't expect them to win [really] we were in part helped by how easy the last 2 rounds were.
oops.
but yeah it was a really fun experience camping in school until 9pm on most days teaching them geog. and getting all the food from OWL and stuff. and fyi this year's sec3 geogRA batch is proving to be worse than ours. I mean they're calling her mdm boey already now ._. and they've been flooding the OWL fan club.
geog in RI is so fun. unlike RJ. oh yes I need to bitch about that too. but later.
ok what else hmm I can't quite remember most of term2.
and I need to shower cos I just got home so shall continue later.
ok a list of things I need to blog about [mainly for my reference but yeah it'll also keep the stalkers interested]:
1. new class.
2. JC life in general
3. more recent things [i.e. not ancient history. and it's almost the end of term 2 ._.]
4. PW, PI and the post-PI party
5. bitch about geog and GP
6. emo stuff! yeah JC is making me kinda emo. ugh.
7. no idea. but at least this blog is becoming more up to date.
oh and for those who were wondering no I haven't found a girlfriend. and yeah in case you didn't know my class only has 3 girls.
so effectively I know less than 20 girls in the whole of RJ.
so there.

383/I must be very bored
ugh school.
I've been slacking ever since I've gotten back from class camp.
so I haven't really done any work.
or anything that I've been wanting/planning/intending to do.
oops.
yeah so all things considered I'm pretty much screwed now.
like GP I owe him a lot of articles.
chem I can't bear to touch it. and it's not like I do my tutorials.
geog I'm so gonna die for economic geo. and yeah I'm not doing the essay practice cos I don't like the question and I'm too lazy to do it.
and physical has just so much to mug.
math is manageable cos it's just stats. and as long as I don't misread the question. and only if I don't screw up P&C [which is actually a very big if]
physics is incomprehensible as always but at least there's like no work for it. =D and speaking of which I can't seem to relate all the whole spam of topics like from kinematics all the way to work energy power they all seem very disjoint to me. argh.
oh and my PW group is screwed.
I should just like heck A levels and go NUS and take geo right ._.
and I suspect wty is starting to realise how much of a slacker I am.
ohno.

382/whatever
PW is giving me hell.
and so is chem [cos I can't stand those problem-solving type questions]. and like now I'm expected to work hard. ugh.
physics is somehow doable if I have my notes in front of me XD
I've a bad feeling about geog - cos physical is just SPAM which I can't remember and human is rubbish. I wonder why.
math is alright but it's just stats.
no comments about GP as usual.
ok where did I stop the last time - orientation!
oh did I mention that my OG got like 2nd for ea. yay for geog skillz. and that reminds me we haven't even spent the prize money yet [I think]. but then again they don't read my blog so nevermind about that.
ok so like orientation day 4 getting our classes it was quite epic.
cos like we got our classes from OGLs in the hall and then like on the way to blocks ABCDE I like bumped into matthew and like what he's in 6I then all the PHYSICSRA guys also in 6I then I was like huh. you should know what I feel about physics XD.
so yeah anyway my class is like disgustingly overpowered. and we only have 3 girls! however it was like 1000x more mugger than 4H so I dunno at the start it seemed quite bad.
ok what else now after orientation... first few lectures were zzz. actually most of them are. and I screwed up the stoichio pre-test [cos it's math]. and yeah chemRA got invaded by PRC ._. so no more fun with siakpeng or whatnot.
yeah as you can see I really do miss RI life.
so subjects:
physics started really badly [the first topic [and lecturer] was a joke]. and my physics tutor at first was like quite incomprehensible. and it doesn't help that my physics class is damn zzz [most of the 6I people are in RA so the boring ones are in RP]. or that I never do my tutorials ahead of time.
and I seriously hate the lecture-tutorial system. cos like lectures you don't really learn anything from watching the lecturer read off the lecture notes. and the problem is cos I already know half the things the lecturer is saying [but not the other half] I don't exactly pay attention and I get distracted and all that. plus my mind has this tendency to wander off all over the place. so like at the end of every lecture I look at the tutorial questions and I'm like huh what the heck is going on. and of course tutorials are always behind lecture so like you're effectively doing 2 topics at once. [well now physics we've finished work energy and power tutorial while the lecturer is barely through with thermal 2 so...]
and yes I never do my tutorials. I like do them during the tutorial period itself like just before the tutor goes through that question ._.
and it doesn't help that physics is often so incomprehensible that I end up getting stuck.
and all my TYSs are rotting away in my locker.
oops.
yeah I'm damn lazy.
ok so anyway back to like post-orientation...
the lecture-only timetable was amazing ._.
and yay for all sorts of random class outings.
hmm take5 is overrated seriously though.
cos it's damn hot XD. and if you don't like sports there's nothing much to do. and our class was smart enough not to bring a groundsheet XD
and I think the OG kinda hated me cos I went with 6I then they saw me and danieltay was like "martin thinks you guys are stupid" ._.
stupid daniel.
but take5 was rather sianz.
so anyway after that to vivo for lunch [where we met the rafflesian spirit who incidentally takes 6I physRA] and then to ECP ._.
like from one beach to another.
cos like the scholars wanted to go cycling or rollerblading or sth.
so after a long journey we finally got there. yay.
and obviously I didn't cycle or skate cos I'd cause an accident. so just slacked and talked with yiyan and mr lu and like laughed at the rest who were well quite silly.
especially those on blades.
ok what else happened in feb/march... no idea really.
shall continue another time then.
EH AT LEAST I'M BLOGGING LOR.
and so is chem [cos I can't stand those problem-solving type questions]. and like now I'm expected to work hard. ugh.
physics is somehow doable if I have my notes in front of me XD
I've a bad feeling about geog - cos physical is just SPAM which I can't remember and human is rubbish. I wonder why.

physics started really badly [the first topic [and lecturer] was a joke]. and my physics tutor at first was like quite incomprehensible. and it doesn't help that my physics class is damn zzz [most of the 6I people are in RA so the boring ones are in RP]. or that I never do my tutorials ahead of time.
and I seriously hate the lecture-tutorial system. cos like lectures you don't really learn anything from watching the lecturer read off the lecture notes. and the problem is cos I already know half the things the lecturer is saying [but not the other half] I don't exactly pay attention and I get distracted and all that. plus my mind has this tendency to wander off all over the place. so like at the end of every lecture I look at the tutorial questions and I'm like huh what the heck is going on. and of course tutorials are always behind lecture so like you're effectively doing 2 topics at once. [well now physics we've finished work energy and power tutorial while the lecturer is barely through with thermal 2 so...]
and yes I never do my tutorials. I like do them during the tutorial period itself like just before the tutor goes through that question ._.
and it doesn't help that physics is often so incomprehensible that I end up getting stuck.
and all my TYSs are rotting away in my locker.
oops.
yeah I'm damn lazy.
ok so anyway back to like post-orientation...
the lecture-only timetable was amazing ._.
and yay for all sorts of random class outings.
hmm take5 is overrated seriously though.
cos it's damn hot XD. and if you don't like sports there's nothing much to do. and our class was smart enough not to bring a groundsheet XD
and I think the OG kinda hated me cos I went with 6I then they saw me and danieltay was like "martin thinks you guys are stupid" ._.
stupid daniel.
but take5 was rather sianz.
so anyway after that to vivo for lunch [where we met the rafflesian spirit who incidentally takes 6I physRA] and then to ECP ._.
like from one beach to another.
cos like the scholars wanted to go cycling or rollerblading or sth.
so after a long journey we finally got there. yay.
and obviously I didn't cycle or skate cos I'd cause an accident. so just slacked and talked with yiyan and mr lu and like laughed at the rest who were well quite silly.
especially those on blades.
ok what else happened in feb/march... no idea really.
shall continue another time then.
EH AT LEAST I'M BLOGGING LOR.
9 May 2010
381 / yeah I guess I must be very bored right now
hmm.
somehow I keep getting this urge to blog.
or maybe it's cos I've been slacking the entire day.
but then again I should be sleeping.
and I don't feel like continuing with feb/march/april XD.
[not that I can remember much, but what I can remember is still quite a lot.]
so yeah just dropping by here.
and I've got to update my links. ohno.
ok this post is a waste of text.
nevermind.
sleepy.

380 [after 5 months]
gosh this is like the first time I'm like really free enough to blog.
ok fine I was quite free in jan but I can't remember what I did then.
well yeah this should by right be an extremely long post [to make up for the 5 months of inaction] but I kinda forgot most of the stuff that happened like in jan/feb/march and maybe even april.
oops.
can't remember what I did on new year's. or any part of january.
I suspect that there was a 4H chalet some time in january. which I went late for. can't remember why though. and can barely remember what I did then except for not sleeping for an entire night. oh I think I went late cos of some meeting - or maybe cos I missed one day of the chalet - can't remember - well anyway after that I distinctly recall having to rush back to school the next day and only sleeping like 15 min on the train between pasir ris and kallang. and btw that was during the holidays [i.e. that period of time between when RI starts and RJ starts].
zzz.
ok what else did I do in january before JIP...
subject combinations!
so eventually after much pain I decided on PCMG. [which I'm not really regretting now come to think of it. except maybe I should have taken GELM. but yeah for a period of time I did consider transferring to S03E. oops.]
ok this blogpost is starting to get messy cos I'm like trying to condense 5 months of stuff into this thing.
yeah so anyway speaking of subject combinations I very nearly decided to do H1 german. but then like that'd mean I'd have to appeal for my H3 and considering my wonderful C6 in HCL I doubt that that will go through
oh yes HCL - 4H was the class with the most A2s in the whole level [I blame that on us being marked after 4E 4F and 4G which all had like a lot of A1s - I wonder why]. and I was after clement and junyang also ._. yeah so I got killed by baozhang. and it's damn funny considering how I got a B3 in prelims ._.
but YAY I PASSED CHINESE AND I DON'T HAVE TO SPEAK IT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!
yep haven't used any chinese in about 5 months. ordering food obviously doesn't count.
ok so now back to school - JIP was a total waste of time. like sitting in the MPH for hours on end getting bored to death by [useless] subject talks.
but at least I only signed up for one elective. which meant that I had most of JIP free [to go back to RIRC] anyway.
so anyway off to orientation - which was like HOW MUCH BETTER ORGANISED THAN THE RI ONES ._. [but RI orientation is a camp. which is unfair ._.] - just that with 60 OGs and over 1200 people yeah there are of course some problems [e.g. everything behind schedule] and all the games weren't exactly that great. but at least the ideas were quite ok. and the storyline was admittedly good. but rather disjoint.
ok now to the OG - seemed quite stone at first [and in fact it still is ._.] but yeah at least it's filled with nice people. yay. and my OGLs rock XD. but like the OG is kinda drifting apart I think. meh. but at least we still say hi to each other. except for a certain person from 4F/S03F who just disappeared after orientation. cough.
ok I'm getting bored of blogging now and there's really such a huge backlog to clear so yeah I'll move on to feb like the next time I decide to write XD.

well I probably ought to be updating my blog now.
TWO MORE DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!
[just that I'll be spending it alone. boo.]
but anyways my entire family went overseas on sat.
and they're only coming back on 25th/26th.
and I couldn't go thanks to SSEF.
but then again I didn't go to school on mon/tues. zzz.
ok so what've I been doing...
sat - bored. bored. bored. bored. ended up going for RCYC campfire which was quite high although the campfire was quite fail. and they didn't feed us so clive/xinyan/I ended up at tampines at 2230 at macs.
and well ended up catching a last bus home. whee.
sun - surprisingly I managed to wake up on time. zzz. but then like most of sun was wasted like what at piano? and talking on msn.
mon - meeting! which actually had quite a bit of time-wasting but at least it blew one entire day.
tues - ended up waking up at noon ._. then while watering my mum's plants [._.] I managed to get a thorn stuck under my fingernail. as in inside the flesh and all that. so after much pain with nailclippers/tweezers/needles/toothpicks and whatnot decided to go see a doctor zzz. who forced it out with a needle [I couldn't cos like it's kinda hard to see the thing since it was well quite deep in].
ok at least that killed some time.
today - in lab. zzzzzzzzz. UV spec sucks. especially when you have to do it for over a hundred samples. zzz.
so what I've left to do is really just clean up the house before my parents come back.
zzz.
AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO ON CHRISTMAS EVE/DAY.
boo.

wow this is a very very very very very long-overdue post.
so let's see what happened so far.
but first things first where did I leave off XD.
oh yes EPIC MODERATION!
basically since english ended up with an overall 5.2% mod I have NINE 4.0s and a wonderful 2.8 in HCL. =D
seriously I'm epic.
so like 3.88 again [which was quite surprising, but then again last year the only reason why I got 3.88 and not 3.84 was a mod to SS]. just that this year my scores are quite lol.
62 82 83 84 89 89 92 92 93 94
cos of all the random mod [e.g. for math 2 and bio ._.]
hmm anyway after that GRAD CEREMONY - oh fine the final assembly - was incredibly retarded/fun. I mean after all it WAS our last assembly so we took the opportunity to sing along to the staff procession XD. [well when they were on their way out XD]. and of course since we didn't have any hats to throw people started throwing ties. which somehow escalated into people. which was still incredibly fun.
hmm yeah but it was quite sad come to think of it - I mean like next year there'll be weird people [read: RGS] joining us and all that. haiz.
then grad dinner was epically fail. but who cares at least we all got to camwhore. =D
and that reminds me I will REFUSE to upload my grad dinner photos until at least next year. cos everyone uploads them altogether so there's like a whole mess of them and it's nothing special and all that.
oh and before grad dinner was HCL O's. which went kinda badly cos I didn't understand most of the lijie questions - but then again I never do. oh and apparently I screwed up baozhang too. but niu was damn nice cos she threw a party for us after the paper. =D
seriously I have too many nice teachers.
oh great now I can't remember what I did in the week after HCL Os. I know there was a geogRA BBQ somewhere which ended up in me getting epically lost [cos I don't like east coast/asking for directions] - essentially I ended up getting off like 20 stops later or sth. but seriously ECP SUCKS.
ok now that explains ONE day.
where did that entire week go!
ok fine there was nov camp prep. but that only explains like 2 or 3 days of stuff.
and I know that there was ZD somewhere in which I epically screwed up because I didn't mug [but then again I never do] but still you HAVE to mug for languages so I'm not exactly very sure about taking H1 german but heck. oh and cos I fell to pieces during oral ._.
but up to now I still haven't collected my results so...
anyway what happened after that... november camp was FUN. just that it was too short.
but it was interesting trying to sleep in RC campsite and only getting 30 min of it.
and spamming deep heat is good.
and note to self: stop trying to do everything and step back for once.
ok so after november camp there was stuff like VIP CS1 and eh wait CS1 was before nov camp [which was why I ended up missing most/all the post-CS1 meetings and therefore ended up being hauled out during CS2 and yeah whatever but either way it was stupid]. oh so after VIP CS2 was stuff like AGM and another meeting which was like what 10am to 7pm? cos it was evac practice followed by FLAG PAINTING! at the esplanade underpass no less. which was really very epic. then after that I had to go to IKEA to look for tealights ._.
just that it turned out there were already some in the campsite so it was kinda like a wasted trip. boo. so after that was a whole bunch of other meetings and then VIP camp.
which was actually quite slack/useless [compared to normal standards]. I mean like discipline was ... even though abdul was PWO and stuff. but I hate getting blasted by maams.
note to self 2: stop taking blastings so seriously - they aren't shouting/screaming at you but more like all the other idiots in the group [of which there are too many]
only thing good was well I got evac gold! [in like less than 5h?] oh and we got like what 3h of sleep each night [or less]. so after the camp I ended up sleeping 15h. and waking up at 3pm the next day.
but seriously the camp wasn't that remarkable. AND I HATE CAMPFIRES. AND ARMY STRETCHERS. AND EVIL ROADS THAT KILL YOUR HANDS WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO DO HUMAN STRETCHER WITH A BUNCH OF GIRLS (I STILL HAVE THE SCARS DAMMIT). AND STUPID PEOPLE LIKE ___________. AND PEOPLE WITHOUT A SENSE OF URGENCY. UGH. OH AND I HATE EAST COAST PARK! whee.
ok rant over.
but VIP was really only fun cos of (some of) the people there.
haiz.
ok so now that VIP is over, after I submitted my camp report [which was full of 1. bullsh*t 2. smoke 3. politically correct stuff 4. long rambling sentences 5. nothing] and well went for the ops AGM thing which was a waste of time and then went for a super long dinner with the VIs which was really quite fun but ended up with me reaching home at 11+ and getting my mum pissed off.
oh and speaking of ops agm thingy we were supposed to be at campsite at 1230. so I woke up at 9. and then fell asleep. and woke up at 905 [cos of the snooze thing on my handphone], turn the snooze function off and decided to sleep a bit more. and then ended up waking up at 1139. so after a VERY mad rush I managed to reach campsite at like what 1235? and that was after missing an LRT, a bus and a train. whee.
ok so yeah now effectively I have nothing much to do.
ok fine I have ISP/SCSF/SSEF.
OH SHIT.
I tell you my last 3 weeks of holidays are going to be like spent in the lab. boo.
so let's see what happened so far.

2 November 2009
377 [um no comments]
hmm this is weird.
like well I get disappointed with my results in the papers that I thought I did well in.
and I actually do better than expected for the papers that I screwed up ._.
says something about my expectations I guess. XD.
well anyway results:
eng: 34/45 for compre, 23/30 for essay
well this was ok - at least we avoided certain markers - but then again I kinda screwed up all the 1 mark questions ._. and 4/5 for vocab [yay!]. sadly 7/10 for AQ cos she struck out my entire first point. but then again things could have gone much worse.
23/30 for essay well... ok fine I rambled a bit too much.
overall 78 according to pat's marklist but not sure how the system will calculate it. and how much moderation we'll get.
chem: 77/80 - 29 in section A [thanks to a stupid mistake], 38+2 in section B [thanks to 2 stupid mistakes] and 8 for section C [thanks to a stupid marker ._.]
but then again 77 is very decent. and I still can't believe I was THAT careless. but section B could have been worse. and section C was crap ._. overall 92 [behind GXZ and welras. thanks to ISP XD]
geo: 13/13 [wth!] + 12/13 + 11.5/14 [._.]
did ok for the first question even though I spammed [which I think was the point really] and wrote crap for the FOURTH part question [i.e. mini-essay ._.]
second question was ok.
LORMS essay died cos my conclusion was invalid. so like 3 paragraphs wasted ._.
overall 89
phys: 67 which became 65 and then 66
so I screwed up the MCQs [got the FIRST question wrong AGAIN], most of the structured I was writing rubbish/blowing smoke. and during the checking I realised that CCK had marked a structured qn worth 2 marks wrongly. so 2 marks gone there. but then while showing it to him [cos he has some weird system - everyone who has to change marks places the script on his table opened to the page with the error and he'll call up one by one, so I happened to put the opposite side facing up, and well he was looking at it and realised I should have gotten another mark on the other page ._.] but then it was quite disappointing [but then I didn't UNDERSTAND the paper the first time I did it XD] so then I was wondering if I should take phys or bio ._. overall 89 [yay the second one]
math: 57.5/50
paper 1 was careless. I'm sure they deducted for leaving answer as 19 1/2 instead of simplifying by pulling out a 1/2 ._. argh.
paper 2 was ouch. especially the differentiation question. but shockingly my kinematics was actually CORRECT [except for the last part, cos I forgot that c was not 0], but I confused the marker by putting part 2 before part 1 XD. then this was epic:
2x = 240, 360, 600
x = 120, 240, 300
spotted the error?
haiz. and then SOMEHOW I managed to get full marks for the circ measure question even though I rushed it and finished it with like a few seconds to spare. =D. so overall was 94 and 89 [the third one]
so during recess I was suanning people by saying that my lowest 4.0 was an 89 XD.
but seriously then my overall scores were like
62 78 89 89 89 92 92 94
so by right if I had a 3.6 for either of the next 2 papers I'd end up with a 3.80 GPA [using new system]. and if I had a 3.6 for both it'd still be 3.80. and if I had 0.8 for both it would ALSO be 3.80. something's very rotten here.
so either I had to hope for 2 4.0s in BIO AND SS. both of which had many people dying tragic deaths. or just heck.
so bio: 18/21 for MCQ [which was actually better than the original 25/30 XD] and 44/59 for structured = 62/80
hmm so actually I died in quite a few structured questions for lack of key words. but got saved by 6/6 for essay. and the entire economic botany structured question XD. and for the muscle/bone question which I smoked through. but it was really better than I expected [but then again I put in a BIT of effort by reading bryan's notes and interrogating dewin on msn]. so overall 82.
then SS - 15/20 for globalisation [!] and 16/20 for venice [!!!]
cos globalisation well it was a GEOG topic and as a rule of thumb geog students were supposed to do better than history ones so like most people in our class had 16/17/18. but then I got stuck at L3 cos he struck out FOUR paragraphs of conclusion. T.T
and on the other hand venice from the way OWL made it out to be it seemed like everyone died. so I expected to screw this one up but I didn't. but the irony is that [according to her notation at least] I brought in SIX other factors apart from the given one. and thus spent too little time on the conclusion. so overall 82. phew.
so really for my humans papers actually I've been dying quite badly for LORMS [at least under OWL] cos either I write too much conclusion that doesn't get counted or I write too little which DOES get counted ><.
and well my results look quite nice now:
HCL 62
ENG 78
SS 82
BIO 82
PH 89
MA2 89
GEO 89
CH 92
GER 92
MA1 94
so although it wasn't as nice a pattern as last year's [90 89 88 87 86 84 83 80] the numbers are quite nice. cos so many end in 2 or 9. XD
so overall 3.84 using the OLD system. ha.
but then again I just realised that since noone got a perfect 4 i.e. the people with 9 subs in GPA i.e. 10-subject people [cos the school counts RE/philo as a subject] have at most 8 4.0s and 1 3.6 but if my english gets moderated up I'll get 9 4.0s and 1 2.8. which will be quite epic. especially since I'll be like one of the people with the most 4.0s and yet with a very low GPA [people with 6 4.0s can hit 3.90 using the NEW system ._.] and yet I'm capped at 3.88. stupid HCL. and even people with 5 4.0s and 3 3.6s can get 3.85.
._.
well at least I did better than I expected [especially with regard to bio/SS/geo/english. and I should count myself pretty lucky I guess]. and again there's not much difference between 3.80 or 3.84 or 3.85 or 3.88.
so school's ending.
T.T
like well I get disappointed with my results in the papers that I thought I did well in.
and I actually do better than expected for the papers that I screwed up ._.
says something about my expectations I guess. XD.
well anyway results:
eng: 34/45 for compre, 23/30 for essay
well this was ok - at least we avoided certain markers - but then again I kinda screwed up all the 1 mark questions ._. and 4/5 for vocab [yay!]. sadly 7/10 for AQ cos she struck out my entire first point. but then again things could have gone much worse.
23/30 for essay well... ok fine I rambled a bit too much.
overall 78 according to pat's marklist but not sure how the system will calculate it. and how much moderation we'll get.
chem: 77/80 - 29 in section A [thanks to a stupid mistake], 38+2 in section B [thanks to 2 stupid mistakes] and 8 for section C [thanks to a stupid marker ._.]
but then again 77 is very decent. and I still can't believe I was THAT careless. but section B could have been worse. and section C was crap ._. overall 92 [behind GXZ and welras. thanks to ISP XD]
geo: 13/13 [wth!] + 12/13 + 11.5/14 [._.]
did ok for the first question even though I spammed [which I think was the point really] and wrote crap for the FOURTH part question [i.e. mini-essay ._.]
second question was ok.
LORMS essay died cos my conclusion was invalid. so like 3 paragraphs wasted ._.
overall 89
phys: 67 which became 65 and then 66
so I screwed up the MCQs [got the FIRST question wrong AGAIN], most of the structured I was writing rubbish/blowing smoke. and during the checking I realised that CCK had marked a structured qn worth 2 marks wrongly. so 2 marks gone there. but then while showing it to him [cos he has some weird system - everyone who has to change marks places the script on his table opened to the page with the error and he'll call up one by one, so I happened to put the opposite side facing up, and well he was looking at it and realised I should have gotten another mark on the other page ._.] but then it was quite disappointing [but then I didn't UNDERSTAND the paper the first time I did it XD] so then I was wondering if I should take phys or bio ._. overall 89 [yay the second one]
math: 57.5/50
paper 1 was careless. I'm sure they deducted for leaving answer as 19 1/2 instead of simplifying by pulling out a 1/2 ._. argh.
paper 2 was ouch. especially the differentiation question. but shockingly my kinematics was actually CORRECT [except for the last part, cos I forgot that c was not 0], but I confused the marker by putting part 2 before part 1 XD. then this was epic:
2x = 240, 360, 600
x = 120, 240, 300
spotted the error?
haiz. and then SOMEHOW I managed to get full marks for the circ measure question even though I rushed it and finished it with like a few seconds to spare. =D. so overall was 94 and 89 [the third one]
so during recess I was suanning people by saying that my lowest 4.0 was an 89 XD.
but seriously then my overall scores were like
62 78 89 89 89 92 92 94
so by right if I had a 3.6 for either of the next 2 papers I'd end up with a 3.80 GPA [using new system]. and if I had a 3.6 for both it'd still be 3.80. and if I had 0.8 for both it would ALSO be 3.80. something's very rotten here.
so either I had to hope for 2 4.0s in BIO AND SS. both of which had many people dying tragic deaths. or just heck.
so bio: 18/21 for MCQ [which was actually better than the original 25/30 XD] and 44/59 for structured = 62/80
hmm so actually I died in quite a few structured questions for lack of key words. but got saved by 6/6 for essay. and the entire economic botany structured question XD. and for the muscle/bone question which I smoked through. but it was really better than I expected [but then again I put in a BIT of effort by reading bryan's notes and interrogating dewin on msn]. so overall 82.
then SS - 15/20 for globalisation [!] and 16/20 for venice [!!!]
cos globalisation well it was a GEOG topic and as a rule of thumb geog students were supposed to do better than history ones so like most people in our class had 16/17/18. but then I got stuck at L3 cos he struck out FOUR paragraphs of conclusion. T.T
and on the other hand venice from the way OWL made it out to be it seemed like everyone died. so I expected to screw this one up but I didn't. but the irony is that [according to her notation at least] I brought in SIX other factors apart from the given one. and thus spent too little time on the conclusion. so overall 82. phew.
so really for my humans papers actually I've been dying quite badly for LORMS [at least under OWL] cos either I write too much conclusion that doesn't get counted or I write too little which DOES get counted ><.
and well my results look quite nice now:
HCL 62
ENG 78
SS 82
BIO 82
PH 89
MA2 89
GEO 89
CH 92
GER 92
MA1 94
so although it wasn't as nice a pattern as last year's [90 89 88 87 86 84 83 80] the numbers are quite nice. cos so many end in 2 or 9. XD
so overall 3.84 using the OLD system. ha.
but then again I just realised that since noone got a perfect 4 i.e. the people with 9 subs in GPA i.e. 10-subject people [cos the school counts RE/philo as a subject] have at most 8 4.0s and 1 3.6 but if my english gets moderated up I'll get 9 4.0s and 1 2.8. which will be quite epic. especially since I'll be like one of the people with the most 4.0s and yet with a very low GPA [people with 6 4.0s can hit 3.90 using the NEW system ._.] and yet I'm capped at 3.88. stupid HCL. and even people with 5 4.0s and 3 3.6s can get 3.85.
._.
well at least I did better than I expected [especially with regard to bio/SS/geo/english. and I should count myself pretty lucky I guess]. and again there's not much difference between 3.80 or 3.84 or 3.85 or 3.88.
so school's ending.

376/aquaporins!
math was a disaster. yay!
well fine math 1 was ok just that most of us lost at least 1 mark due to careless XD.
but math 2 basically I wasted too much time at the start - CHANGING CORRECT ANSWERS TO WRONG ONES! argh.
and ironically the only question I feel confident about was the question that I chionged at the last minute i.e. circ. measure.
but at least I have a decent 23-mark cushion ._.
BIO IS DISGUSTING.
I'm feeling very disinclined towards mugging right now.
especially since it SEEMS like I know most of the stuff after skimming through everything [just that I don't know the details/key words which is what's going to sink me tomorrow].
but I'm lazy.
oh and speaking of my finger [cos vincent ong who stalks this blog asked about it] the part that was yellow [cos of pus, inflammatory response/whatever] is now brownish [mainly cos it's under the skin]. it might be black though. but at least it doesn't hurt anymore.
off to do some more skimming of notes ._. [cos I really can't bring myself to do rote learning/memorisation]. and cos I tend to rely more on my gut than anything else.
well one last paper and then we're done!
and after that we have three days of intensive chinese remedial. yay.

375/1 more paper!
well that's what jian/huang would say. XD.
well no papers tomorrow [yay].
so essentially I spent the whole evening slacking. on youtube. and I ADMIT IT I WAS LISTENING TO TAYLOR SWIFT. but she's good! [yes ben she is. and I don't like jason mraz. ha.]
hmm what happened today - physics! I didn't understand the paper but I could do it ._. so essentially what I did was to throw all my formulae/laws at each question and just whack. XD.
but since I forgot all my magnetism and whatnot well I'm expecting maybe 60/80. especially since I didn't study.
cos I wasted fri/sat/sun doing nothing.
and I started on geog on monday at 7pm ._.
so yeah I kinda forgot physics entirely XD.
yeah and my fourth finger on my right hand is screwed. cos I slammed it in a door I think. and then it bashed the nail in so now it's like growing into the flesh. so it hurts whenever I apply any sort of pressure to it.
so like I can't hold my pen properly ._. oh and there was pus oozing out of my finger during physics.
yeah so anyway my handwriting was a little screwed. and I made a whole bunch of careless mistakes during the paper. =D
and strangely enough [again] I found the bonus question easier than most of the structured ones ._.
so anyway finished the paper with about 20 min to spare zzz.
then GEOG! I spotted quite well really. =D
but then...
section 1: 3×3 mark questions = 3-4 paragraphs each = ¾pages each ._.
PLUS a 4 mark question so about 1 page to that
IN 30 MIN MIND YOU
section 2: 7 mark question with diagrams
2×3 mark questions ._.
IN ANOTHER 30 MIN
section 3: 2×2 marks = about 1 long-ish para each ._.
and LORMS essay.
IN 30 MIN
so needless to say I ran out of time. zzz. but my handwriting was neater than last year even though I wrote less.
and I might have screwed up section 1 - cos my answer to the 4 mark question was VERY smoky ._. and too short.
section 3 I might not have hit L4 depending on how OWL sees it.
argh I'm terribly incoherent today.
must be the lack of sleep. and I'm typing with 9 fingers - which is actually quite easy just that I tend to get the order of letters wrong [cos I type without looking at the keyboard and also damn quickly].
zzz stupid finger.
rawr off to mug bio tmr ._.
depending on when I wake up and how lazy I feel XD.
well no papers tomorrow [yay].

374/to hell with mugging
ok I'm only posting cos I'm too lazy to do any work right now. XD.
and cos the next paper is so far away! [ok fine I'm deluding myself.]
but I've really been slacking the whole day away. AGAIN. I seem to do that every saturday. argh.
well anyway chem was a joke. I mean the hardest question in the whole paper HAD to be the crossword. XD.
but of course I was careless [reading cm³ as dm³ and ending up with an answer 1000x the actual one - way back in sec3 I had an answer 1000x less than the actual one cos I messed up another conversion. XD]. but seriously chem was a farce.
and my right shoulder hurts thanks to SS.
and GEOG. oh noes.
and I discovered that I lost my thermometer. O.o
