I just took an IQ test. Haha, I'm like so highly intellectual.

Congratulations, Gordon!

Your IQ score is 131

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others. Your Intellectual Type is Visual Mathematician. This means you are gifted at spotting patterns — both in pictures and in numbers. These talents combined with your overall high intelligence make you good at understanding the big picture, which is why people trust your instincts and turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.




Okie, yesterday was like a busy and freaking hot day.
The sun was super scorching and I kept complaining about the incredible heat and blaze.

Imagine I had to walk around the whole sports complex while the bright, huge ball of fire hung itself in some part of the universe and blissfully neglect its effects on puny human beings like yours truly.


Pissed, sun-burnt already.


Anyways, went for TJ Strings concert with Des, Darren and Xiaoxuan.


It bore the hell out of me.


I wanted to leave during intermission cos the first half had successfully broken my record of "number of yawns per minute". I inadvertently teared due to the immense vibes of boredom.


Unknowingly, I turned to eavesdrop on the conversation by the two irritating nuisance beside me.


There's this guy who kept commenting on the players and their music style, etc.

(Acting professional, I guess.)

Pukes.


They were so distracting that a girl on the front row had to turn back and say "Excuse me," while signalling them to shut their trap by placing her finger over her lips and giving a stern and not-so appreciative look.

I was giggling to myself while shouting a loud and triumphant "YES!" in my head.


Well, those two guys really are pain in my ass.


After the concert we went Lao Pa Sat to eat supper. Omg, damn freaking full.
Then we went Fullerton to use their washrooms. HAHA.
So high class~~~



ANYWAYS. IT'S MY BIRTHDAY~~ AR HUH AR HUH~~


HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

It was TC Quarter Event 2006 yesterday.
Fantastic experience.
Everyone put in incredibly large amounts of sweat, pain and blood into this major, annual event.


I was really impressed with the standards of our year two seniors.
Meticulous planning though there were some flops which could have been further improved.


However, despite all the rehearsals we had, we managed to enter the stage with a wrong scene, wrong lines and stone and stammer on stage for like 6 seconds before regaining conscious of what's happening on stage. I realised something was wrong as soon as I felt I had read that line before and I just blanked out, totally lost as to what to do and how to turn the situation over.



Screwed.



Heng Pei quickly remembered her line and we continued from there. It was a rather lame part. Gosh, I don't want to keep mentioning my folly during the skit, it just..!! argh!



Okie, then after everything, we had a debrief whereby Beryl started crying, followed by Stephanie, then Hazel, then Wanteng then Ellie. From the way they thank each other in all the help received, you can see they really mean it, from the bottom of their hearts. It's hard to believe we made it when everyone is the club is willing and able to give a 110% in whatever things we need to do, juggling heavy school work and other outside commitments at the same time too.



I salute to my beloved, respectable seniors.



I want to thank He Yuan, Beryl and Alia for helping me through the skit. Teaching me expressions, how to be more funny and apt stage presence. Without them, the skit will be plain and really not impressive at all. I love you guys! Thanks!!!




Okie, so much for QE.



Today was kinda like a pon-nable day.
Had PE that was like so slack followed by lessons that were not that important.

30th Student Council Investiture

Witnessing this grand, formal event with all TJCians is an unforgettable moment. Once again, I'm wow-ed by the SC's effort in the stage performances, the walking all around the audi, and basically everything. The handing over of President Book, Council Badges etc. were made a big issue and I was truly experiencing something different. Never in my life had I went through ceremonies as such. It was an excellent speech made by the newly elected president, Stephanie Sim (I think), and I think she has the poise and all of a president.


I believe, the video awakened poignant memories of office term for the 29th batch.

I just love TJC, now more than ever. I'm glad, extremely glad that I'm here.


With Passion, Purpose & Drive, TJC, The Future. Now.

Wanted to blog yesterday but apparently, I was far too occupied with work.


First up, I went school for College Day. I thought it was going to be super boring and unexciting as such school events have always been a chore to attend.


Unexpectedly, I kinda enjoyed the whole thing (except for the whole award-giving part cos it's so damn long). There was this video that was extremely inspiring and it just gives me goosebumps all over. The part where they show last year's National Inter-School BBall Comp. where TJC emerged as the champion after eons the last time a trophy was brought home. All TJCians stamping their feet, clapping their hands, shouting and cheering for their schoolmates, their friends, their family. Goodness! The spirit was so high and intoxicating plus the background music complements the video even better. I was so moved by the intensity of peer support and encouragement in this big GREEN family. So what if we're green? We're happy, smart and highly-bonded.


After College Day, I met Zoe & Zhi Chuan for lunch @ opposite.



Beryl came along & we headed off to rehearse our skit for QE 2006.
Blah blah blah... practice practice practice. Ended @ around 7? I'm not too sure la. Heck.



I took a bus home and you could not have imagined how suay I was. Someone dai'ing sai to me.
The bus broke down when I was 2 stops AWAY FROM HOME. THANKS MAN.

I was already half-dead, extremely exhausted, drained and the bus chose to die on me. LUCKILY, I'm heng enough to catch the next bus right after the pathetic 25 broke down.
Waste my $0.45

O YA!
Doby's photoshoot pics are out! I haven't scanned them yet. Once I do, I guarantee you'll melt when you see how cute my puppy is. -Proud-


Went Mac with Eric to study. Met @ around 9. Then we studied till around 12am (good thing it's 24-h now).
I couldn't resist Chicken McNuggest, again. Everytime I step into Mac, the nuggets seem to be whispering into my ear "I know you want me, I know you do." WAHAHAHA.

Eric had to be my maid and help me buy my food. MUAHA, he's a nice friend la okie. (erms)


I COMPLETED KINGDOM HEARTS II already. Be jealous. Though I only completed 82% of it. Lousy la. Zhi Chuan say must play Proud Mode to watch secret ending. (I was playing beginners. haha)


Anyways, I'm off to mug for my test tmr. Ciao.

End of term approaching.



Yayness!

Unfortunately, that implies the beginning of JCT which is apparently, just another hurdle in my life. Well, at the age of 17, I believe I am a "seasoned warrior" in the battle against a sheet of paper. Usually, it's a draw. (Kinda weird metaphor but heck)


Haha.


Oh goodness. I'm really struggling with Chem. Drop to H1? Perhaps.
I just don't quite get the picture. It's super complex and Mrs Lim-Leong made O Level Chem so easy to us. I think it's the style of teaching in JC. I haven't adapted yet. Or maybe I just can't be bothered to do so. In my immature, used-to-be-spoon-fed mind, reading lecture notes on my own is really difficult.

Sadness. But this had gotta go! I'm gonna take the plunge. I'm gonna work hard, or doubly hard. I'm gonna ace my tests. (At least I'll try).

Flipped through this book by Adam Khoo "Sth Sth.. Strategies to Improve Sth" (Pardon me, it was a super long title).

It mentioned, to perform for exams, you need self-believe and determination. Determined to work hard and get basics right and when you start getting high scores, you'll build up your confidence level when you get all forms of praises from peers or tutors.

"Wow, your Math damn pro sia!"

That's something I'd wish to hear, one day.


When that happens, you'll feel the urge to set you in the momentum of maintaing results. Productive work is hence done - like reading notes before lessons, diligently doing your work, etc.



OMG.

Sounds so easy, yet difficult to implement. I need to admit I lack self-discipline when it comes to studying alone. I used to be able to do that very well. Somehow, I lost touch on that.


Depressed.


Goodness gracious, I must start working, soon. No use praying 'cos whatever it is, I am the determinant of my future. Crappy.

Sadly, it's your grades that display your intellectual abilities. Some people can be smart in terms of their response to certain matters but still do not get As for tests, etc. It's pretty sad for them don't you think. Fortunately/Unfortunately, I kinda lie in between. Situation is rather difficult for me. SO MANY DISTRACTIONS and only one mind & heart to control the temptation to succumb.

Fallible humans we might be, but never do we surrender.
Keep that in mind.




Ciao.

i just watched the last episode of season 2, desperate housewives.
need i say more? marcia cross (bree van de kamp) is a stunning actress and the way she carries herself in the show is impeccably graceful and it makes me wonder why she did not win the emmys. she gave up her role as a mother when she realised she isn't strong enough to handle and take good care of her homosexual, rebellious son who slept with her boyfren (how scandalous.) thinking she failed totally as a mother, which i don't think she did, she tried to make it up by being the best mum ever to her daughter, danielle, by throwing her a party that bree thought danielle would like. spending late nights blowing balloons, decorating the house with party ornaments just in exchange for a "mum, that will just make my friends laugh at me". sadly, she had to burst the balloons one by one and hide her disappointment and at the same time, disguise as if she wasn't saddened by her son's absence. argh, it just evokes such strong emotions that you have no choice but to share the pain of a scarred mother.


now i'm downloading the episode 21 of charmed season 8! omg. kill billie vol. 2. anxious! anxious! anxious!!!

Fascinatingly, half a wkend is gone.
election day today. well, though it doesn't concern me tt much, but i'm really keen to know the winners of Aljunied and Hougang. EXCITING. goodness, it's tough fight because both parties are supposedly, having keen competition.

Breakfast table
Mum and sis keep complaining abt Doby's endless, disturbing barks in the early morn. somehow, when i'm asleep, these sounds can't penetrate into my ears. lucky me.

went for tuition @ 1. omg, regarding math, i feel stupid. somehow i just can't do math. it's just so alien to me, as in i always thought math was abt formulae and substituting in the values.. blah. but then it's nt tt simple. for 10 qns, there are 9 different ways of solving each and you'll nv know which to use. plus my tutor is this old, arrogant, uninteresting ex-teacher in HCJC and TPJC. in my mind, i was like "wadeva lo" + giving him an "eye-roll". he keeps assuming i'm some smart ass who can do all he asks and apparently, i can't answer his questions at all. then he'll give extremely "encouraging" comments like "i think you can't do this" or "you can't even do basic qns". i was so pissed today when he said my method was wrong when i clearly followed the one in the notes. i gave him some attitude by being aloof to his lame, self-entertaining comments. Apparently, most of the old teachers still alive and kicking for god-knows-what reason, have poor command of the English language. they have limited word choice such that they make piercing remarks regardless of how a student can be affected by mere words of theirs. incorrigible attitudes these people have. if they can't apprehend the psychology of a dumb student who seeks tuition, they can jolly well quit the job!

enough of the grievances.
met up with jenny, darren + his sis, xin hui and eric, who joined us later, to study.
met @ compass pt yoshi. (weird and EXPENSIVE place)
sth got into me, i ate a SGD10 meal. OMG.. murder me someone.
i was supposed to ask jenny to tutor me chem mole concept ( i suck at it) but apparently, we got too carried away chatting with jenny the digress-or. haha.
then i decided to read econs notes.
read some here and there and jenny + xh scribbled on ernest's benzene notes! (sorry, i didn't mean tt. WAHAHA)
O YA.
xinhui attempted to sing Love Me, by colin raye and it sounded like sth u'd hear @ s'pore idol auditions.
I LAUGHED OUT LOUD.
dear frens, i really did. u can ask the ppl in the vicinity, no one did not hear my laughter.
it was super super super hilarious! i couldn't control. it was REALLY REALLY funny. sorry didn't mean to poke fun @ xh. it was just plain silly joke. (wahaha)

after that we were forced to evacuate the area cos it was supposedly dinner time and the staff @ yoshi foresaw a crowd. well, we didn't. it was such a ulu place in the corner. who'd come? crazy.

then we took 119, planned to go mac. but then darren and i got giddy (thanks to the bus ride) plus eric cmi. so cancelled.
then jenn and i walked home lo. i was telling her abt doby's funny encounter with the female chihuahua and a brown stranger dog. haha. quite funny. then she was telling me abt her VJ stuff.. o man, it's really stressful there. i'm glad i stayed. i think i will suffocate there. lose myself. wadeva.

okie, i'm rushing off to watch elections results LIVE on ch 5. 10 PM. omg i'm later alr.

cya gus. ciao.

the party comprises of darren, julie, grass, desmond and YOURS TRULY.
staff room is like almost empty but we did see some teachers.
as usual, humanities dept teachers - ms k and ms gan - are stuck in the clutches of eager students with neverending questions. familiar, ain't it? haha.. mid yrs for the juniors back there but i dun rmb mugging this early in my Os year. haha.. ppl are so freaking hardworking now.
saw the dao-as-ever low cheik wei. didn't bother to say 'hi' . well, don't expect me to even breathe a word to her. -pissed + eye-roll- i merely forced both ends of my lips to curve up slightly before turning away to see other teachers.

afterwhich, we went kallang kfc for dinner.
followed by a series of narcissim actions - self-photo-taking
we're all veterans in this aspect, as in our clique. esp grass la. tt hopeless bitch. hahaha
