HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!!

2009-10-29T01:46:00.000-07:00

HOLIDAYS HAVE JUST STARTED!! Today is the first day of holidays. Don't really have much plans for the holidays though, just like most other people. Lol. I will have so many band practices during the holidays. I just went for one this morning, will have another one this Saturday. So tiring.. Anyway, I am trying to enjoy band practice cuz its most probably my last few days in SJI. =( I am transferring cuz I can't afford the monthly school fees of $360. ($520 before I became a PR) Not sure which school I will end up in, but the most likely is in ACS (Barker). LOL. I might end up going to my current "rival" school. Oh well, I will miss my great friends in SJI. Its such a fun school with the students of 106.

Thats not my form teacher just in case you are wondering. LOL. I haven't got a good picture of my form tutor, Mrs Tracy Chan. =( She didn't even appear on our class photo because she is in charge of the CCA Gymnastics and it so happened that the photo taking day clashed with the gymnastics competition, so Mrs Chan wasn't able to turn up for the photo taking.

The person I will miss most is Oscar Loh I think. He is a GREAT friend. He is the second highest guy standing in the photo above. (you can only see his face) He is wearing white frammed glasses with black-coloured lenses. HAHA. I went to his house quite a few times, mostly to play xbox 360, specifically Halo 3. He OWNS at it. LOL. I played L4D with him just yesterday on his xbox. He just got a xbox live today, so maybe I'll be going to his house to have even more fun. LOL. Oh well, I'll miss SJI, 106 and my friends there SOO much! Wish I could stay, but doesn't look like I have a choice. SJI ROX!! =D

Exams

2009-09-29T06:14:00.001-07:00

Wah.. So stress leh. I seriously hate exams. Exams are useless, they do not benefit anyone. Life is so much better off without it. I wanna slack but I can't. I wanna sleep properly but I can't. I wanna play more but I can't. I don't want to study but I have to force myself to. I don't feel like doing anything. =(

Argh.. This is changing the subject, but my literature teacher is a total slacker. I am not lying. Ask my classmates if you don't believe me. My literature teacher probably only marks 1/3 of the worksheets we hand in to him. The rest? HE TELLS US TO MARK IT OURSELVES IN CLASS!! LOL. There were these two worksheets which he took 8 whole months to pass back to us... Incredible. Sometimes he spends half the lesson talking about crap like about the F1 race and things like that. He will then say that he is teaching us "analysis" skills by talking to us about that kind of thing. He even calls the students things like "faggots", "bloody fools" or "barbarians". When he is in a bad mood, which he seems to always be in, he will lose his temper at the slightest reason by any student. I shouldn't be saying this, but I really can't stand it any longer. I actually prefer my mother tongue teacher to my literature teacher. xD

Anyway, exams are next week and I don't feel prepared at all. (especially for literature) I have no motivation to study. Still waiting for a good reason to study properly. xD Just kidding.. Oh well, I wish all sec 1 students a good studying. =P Don't be like me. Haha.

Holidays..

2009-09-12T02:39:00.000-07:00

Today is the second last day of the September holidays.. ARGH!! I can't believe it. This September holidays I didn't really do much. Except for bowling, the church ward youth cycling, and two band practices during the holidays, I didn't have much to do. xD Seriously, I was super BORED! I spent most of my time playing computer games. Haha! (I am sick of getting thrashed in Wolf Team by my classmates)

School is back! NO! That was fast, and yet so slow. xP I wanted to the holidays to pass faster but I didn't want the school days back. Such irony.. Anyway, this term, it may very well be my last term in SJI. I hope not though.. Some miracle has GOT to happen! Argh... I must try and get some kind of bursary. IMPOSSIBLE! Well, not really, its just so hard I don't think its worth the trouble. I don't want to become a nerd just to stay in SJI. LOL. No offense to those top scores in SJI.. I am not doing good enough! Not yet meeting my expectations, although my mom is quite happy. This term I must get at least an A2 for an average mark, which means I will be extremely busy studying considering the number of subjects that I have to do in one term. Man... I can't wait till this is all over for a year. 4 more weeks till my final year exam I think.. Have to study 7 subjects. Big jump for me. I can't believe how well some of my classmates are coping. Oh well, I guess I just need to try harder. Haha.

Teachers' Day

2009-09-03T01:48:00.000-07:00

Haven't blogged in a while. xD Anyway, it was Teachers' Day last Monday. Had lots of fun!! We had lots of junk food!

Actually, not much happened. We reported at school at normal time, then at 8.45am we did the "ACERS" dance(I am not sure of the spelling so wadeva) which was a Michael Jackson dance. XD was soo lame.. No offense to Michael Jackson but the way the school did it together was really retarted. Haha. Anyway, after that we went back to class and slacked all the way. We waited for the teacher for like an hour and all she did was come, say hi, take the gifts and she left. LOL! We had the food to ourselves!! Haha. Wasn't an easy job cleaning up though..

Oh well, I wish all teachers a belated Happy Teachers' Day!! =D

Marks

2009-08-22T04:30:00.000-07:00

YES!! Got A1 for maths exam!! YEAH!!! Finally... Got 85% which is equal to 34 upon 40 marks. LOL. SO happy! xD Still waiting for other marks.. Hope to get physics marks by Monday. But I have a feeling its not gonna be very good, so I am bracing myself for the worst. xP Same goes for geography.. Did quite well in literature, so I am not worried to get the marks. Haiz.. lucky the exams are all finished already, if not I would have gone nuts with the stress. xP Argh.. Miss her so much.. haven't talked to her for almost a week.. Dunno whats going on.. I hope that my guess is all wrong.. I don't know how much longer I can stand this silence. xD

Exams are OVER!!!

2009-08-20T03:59:00.000-07:00

Exams are OVER!!

Finally, exams are OVER!!! YES!! Went to Oscar's house today to play XboX 360, specifically Halo 3. =D He totally thrashed me. xP Anyway, exams were quite ok. Hope that I can get A1 for the subjects.. I've never studied so hard before, and I hope that it really helps me get better marks.

Argh, my mother tongue will surely drag my average mark down. Lol! I suck at chinese because I never liked it (no offense to Chinese lovers). I grew up learning to hate chinese in the environment I was in in Malaysia. Not that the teachers do anything to make us hate it, but I never enjoyed a day of school in Malaysia because everything was in chinese. xP Maths, science and history were all taught in chinese. Their chinese standard is one year ahead of Singapore. I learned chinese as a first language, Malay as a second language and english as third language. It was chinese, chinese, chinese and chinese in primary school in Malaysia. It was pure torture for me considering I come from an english speaking family. xD Haha. You are probably thinking that I should be good at chinese after all this right? Well, truth is I never really payed any attention in class when I was in primary school in Malaysia because I couldn't understand anything. LOL. Oh well, got nothing more to say.

Cross-Country

2009-08-08T23:43:00.000-07:00

Cross-Country Day

On Friday, our school SJI celebrated Singapore National Day by having a cross-country run at Bedok Reservoir. The participants are sec 1-3 only because sec 4 students were required to go to school to study. xP Anyway, top 20 runners get medals. I got 23rd place in the race. ARGH! Missed it by a little bit... I even saw the last of the top 20 getting the medal because the winners receive a medal on the spot right after the run. I feel so disappointed. xD Lol. We gathered at the track of Temasek Polytechnice before the run. Here are a few photos of the place where we gathered in the morning:

My class!

Was VERY nice weather too run. =D Very cool morning. I had to wake up at 5.30am so that I could meet my friends at Commonwealth MRT station to go to Tampines MRT station and take a bus from there, and we got to Temasek Polytechnic 10 minutes late (we were supposed to be there by 7.30) because we didn't know where to get off the bus and got off 3 bus stops early and walked the rest of the journey. xD

I don't have any photos of the Bedok Reservoir where we ran. We ran one round around Bedok Reservoir and ended the run at the track where we gathered. As I said, I missed the medal by 3 places. xP Anyway, we were dismissed after the race at about 9.45am and had to find our own way home. Me and my friends decided to take the MRT home together, which meant that we had to take a bus back to the interchange. Guess what? We got LOST!! -.-" How? SJI gave us a map that showed us what bus to take TO Temasek Polytechnic, and we thought that we could take the same buses back to the interchange. So, we took bus 8 and got ridiculously lost because we weren't familiar with the area..

My classmate Jun Yu (the boy on the left) wasn't too happy about us getting lost. We only realised we weren't going the right way after like 20 minutes bus ride.

LOL! We didn't dare to get off until we saw a this sign board:

We thought we were saved because where there is an MRT station, there is a way home. So we got off the next bus stop after we saw the MRT sign and walked towards the MRT.

But there was one big problem that we did not know when we got off the bus. THE MRT STATION WE SAW WAS PART OF THE ORANGE MRT LINE WHICH IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION!! LOLOLOLOL. Once we got closer, this is what we saw to our great dismay:

See the blue things there? The place was still covered up by those bricks or tiles or whatever they are. xP Here is an even closer view of the place:

HAHA. The place wasn't even open and there were workers inside building stuff. xD We then walked pass the MRT in search for another way home. We managed to reach a bus stop after walking half a km but there was another problem.

Saw the problem??? There was NO SIGN to show us what buses came at where they head to. xD

ARGH! LOL. Fail sia.. We were SUPER unlucky on that day. =.= However, our worries came to an end when we saw that opposite where we were there was a bus 154, which goes to my school, pass by. We followed where the bus went and we arrived at this bus stop after a 200m walk:

We looked at the sign and saw, to our relief, that bus 154 goes to that bus stop and it brings us back to SJI:

HAHA. If you look carefully you can see that the 3rd last bus stop says "Whitley Rd- St Joseph's Inst" LOL. So I took the bus to SJI and then took 153 back home. WHEW!! I feel sorry for my class chairman because he was with us and had to take the bus all the way to the end which was like at least 35 bus stops or more (literally).

I got home at 11.45am. Can you believe? A 2 hour journey home.. xD LOL. Thats all for the Cross Country day. =D

"Great day" at school

2009-08-05T05:06:00.000-07:00

Today, nothing much really happened in school..(as usual xP) Madam Kwang was unhappy today and made us copy two paragraphs from a Chinese newspaper article. Haiz... Was very sian. Our class physics project, the parachute drop, was postponed till next week, so we spent the whole lesson on theory.. SOOO boring.. Almost felt like sleeping in class. LOL. Never done that before.

Last period was core skills and Mrs Chan spent about half the lesson reprimanding a group for having no teamwork because there was contention among themselves over things like "He was supposed to do this but he never did" or "He never told me so I didn't do it lah". Haha. To tell the truth, I never liked group work, because nowadays when there is group work, it is always me and one other guy doing the work for the whole group (specifically James xD).

The only fun part of the day was IEP(Individualized Enrichment Programme ). IEP is kinda like CCA except that you only learn how to do the activity without being expected to compete with other schools or anything like that. My IEP is Bowling. =D Its SUPER fun. They teach you the correct techniques for bowling, then they just let you bowl, and they come around to check if you are doing it correctly. =P After only 2 weeks of IEP training, I can bowl at least 2 times better than before and enjoy myself so much more in bowling. Haha. Sounds boring right? Enjoyment can never be expressed with words. Haha. Oh well, nothing left to say le. Will post more next time..

My worst Saturday.

2009-08-02T04:35:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, it was a Saturday and I had band practice in school. I had to wake up at 7am to get to school by 8am. Band practice lasted until 1pm. First thing that we always have to do in Saturday practices is march because my school band is a military band. xD. Our leaders will take our attendance first before we march for about half an hour to 45 minutes. I was fine with it because it was quite cool in the morning considering the time. Anyway, after that we practiced playing our instruments until about 11.45am. After that, we went back down to the school track to march somemore! Argh! It was blazing hot because it was almost 12 noon. from there, we practiced marching until 12.45 pm (or later) and went back up to the music room to write in our band journal which we have to do after every practice. xP

I was fine with yesterday's band practice except for the marching from 11.45am-12.45pm. It was literal torture for us, but our leaders didn't get anything much better because they had to stay on the school track with us to teach us the new commands and things like that. Except for that part, the practice was fine. After that, I played soccer with the school band until about 2pm and after that I met up with my friend and we went to my house to do our Physics project: Constructing a parachute.

It was so lame...having to make a parachute for a project. I always wonder why we are assigned to do some things when they don't seem to really actually help or teach us anything. Anyway, we made the parachute for about 2-2.5 hours. Then we tested it by dropping it from the third floor of my HDB flat. Lame right?? xD. Haha. Anyway, after that my friend went home and it was about 5.30 pm. After that, I was finally free to do what I wanted to do.

John and Bobby came over to our house after that to eat dinner. I only managed to play one (or half) game of dota before we went to Island Creamery for ice-cream. It was 10.30 when we left for home. After I got home, I was so utterly exhausted that I just lay down on the living room couch and fell asleep until Sunday morning. xD At 4.30am my cousin, Juliana, left on her journey to Tokyo (she stayed with my family for a week). Ok, nothing more to talk about for now. xP

Boring!!!

2009-07-30T05:22:00.000-07:00

Haiz... School is getting harder and more boring at the same time. xP Not much to talk about now. Its just normal school life nowadays. Whats special? Well, currerntly I am waiting for something to happen, as in there isn't anything in particular, just wish that school isn't so boring. HAHA. Yesterday, I took a Chinese test. Haven't gotten the results yet, so I can't say much about that either... Lol. Well, the test was quite ok for me, and I am sure that I will get better marks than the last round. xD.

Today, we took a English test on writing an expositary essay. In this essay, we had to write about either one of the following: "Childhood is the best time of one's life" or "Success depends on luck". We have to write down points in the essay to support the statement that we choose. I chose "Childhood is the best time of one's life". We have to persuade the reader of our essay into agreeing with us that the statement is true (although I don't entirely agree with the statement I chose xD). So it was kinda easy, I wrote 1 and 3/4 pages long, whereas the class chairman who sits beside me wrote the essay 3 pages long!! Haha. His planning for the essay alone was like as long as my essay. xD Anyway, I think I did pretty well for the exam so I feel quite happy about it. =D Ok, Thats all I can say for now. xP

Sick!! xD

2009-07-27T04:08:00.000-07:00

Being Sick xP

I have been told to stay away from school from 7 days (20/7 - 27/7) because I caught a flu and got a fever. xD. I know it sounds fun for you guys, but for me it was NOT fun. It was excruciatingly BORING!! I can't believe I am saying this but I actually missed going to school during the time I was sick. I wanted to go to school today but I can't because the doctor says no. Anyway, there are 6 other people in my class who were absent today from my class. They are : Jie Le, Sriram, Luke, Dion, Ivan and last but not least, my form and maths teacher,Mrs Chan.. xD. Yesterday at church Claire and Nichole were the only two youth who didn't come because they were sick. Haiz.. I really missed Claire at church xD. Anyway, its the flu period now and everyone is becoming sick. Even Michael fell sick but still went to school on the days he wasn't supposed to. SO LUCKY!! Jk... So anyway, what do you think I do at home everyday? Well, I was quite sick for the first 3 days and I had to lie down for practically 24 hours for 3 days which I didn't mind. But for the rest of the days, I still had to stay in the room away from everybody even though I was feeling better xD. Here are a few photos of my temperature:

Day 1: 37.9 Degrees Celsius

Day2: 38.4 Degrees Celsius

Day3: 39 Degrees Celsius

LOL. By right, I should be hospitalized at the temperature of 39 Degrees Celsius. I went to see the doctor on the 2nd day I had a fever, and when I took my temperature at the clinic, a laser scanner showed that I had a temperature of 37.2 Degrees Celsius. But when the doctor took my temperature by using something that he put in my ear, I had a temperature of 39.1 Degrees Celsius. That shows how useless the laser scanner was xP. HAHA. Anyway, I told the doctor that I had a temperature of 38.4 Degrees Celsius when I took it at home and he said that we should just use that temperature for his reports because if we use the temperature he took, I would have to be hospitalized by then which he thought was unnecessary. Lolz.

Anyway, the fever got worse one the 3rd day and I was feeling horrible. I couldn’t even see the temperature on the thermometer and needed my mom to tell me the temperature xD. I took my medicine as usual and all I could do was rest in my room.

On day 4, I was feeling much better and had no more fever. =D Although I was feeling much better, my mom said I was still contagious and had to wear a mask whenever I exited my “room of Isolation” to prevent the spreading of my flu.

Haha. I looked stupid with a mask. xD Anyway, it was a Friday and I was looking forward to the next day’s church activity which the doctor let me go to. Lol. Anyway, Claire and Nichole didn’t go to the activity. That’s really sad because the activity was really fun. But I will talk about it in the next time. That’s all for now. =D

Going to Ivan's Youth Camp

2009-07-19T01:59:00.000-07:00

As I promised, I am blogging about my 2 days and 1 night Youth Camp with Ivan's church. =D What words can I use to describe it? BRILIANT! IT WAS GREAT! HAHA. Anyway, I had to take the MRT from Commonwealth MRT station to Pasir Ris MRT Station. It took about 50 minutes on the train. That is VERY long considering my patience xD. LOL. Anyway, after I got there, I met Ivan and his friend Justin. We waited for a van which then took us to our destination: Costa Sands. We got there at about 6pm. Here is a photo of the place:

We rented two chalets: one for boys and one for girls. To tell the truth, the standards of their church are almost exactly the same as ours. It is a Baptists church. Anyway, that is a photo I took right before dinner at about 6.30 pm. Here is a photo of the food we had:

HAHA. I don't want to describe the food... so just see for yourself what there was xD. The drink that you see beside food isn't wine lah. It is just Ribena. HAHA. Anyway, after the dinner, we had to go for something like Sunday school, except it was a Friday.. HAHA. We were taught how to read the Bible. The man who taught us was a white man whose name is Mark. He was a man who was really sincere about reading the Bible. He could quote alot of scriptures and things like that. His method of reading the Bible is that when you find important sentences, you "Mark it, memorize it, meditate on it and master it". For short, the 5 "Ms". His reason for it is that when we read the scriptures, we should be able to apply it in our daily lives, so by doint the 5 "Ms", we will be able to use the scriptures to help us choose the right. It lasted for about 1.5 hours to 1.75 hours. After that, we had a bit of free time. So, I played a game called "Sabotuer". Here is a picture of the youth playing Sabotuer:

HAHA. The objective of the game is to build a tunnel towards a gold nougat. There are 3 cards facing down at one end from the start point and only one of them is the gold nougat. The objective for the "mine diggers" is to dig towards the gold nougat until they reach it. Another group is called the "Sabotuer" and their objective is to prevent the mine diggers from reaching the gold nougat. But nobody knows whether you are a mine digger or sabotuer so the game is kinda tricky. Anyway, here is a close up picture of the game:

Now you have a clearer idea of what the game is? HAHA. Anyway, its not so important, so don't worry. Anyway, we played the game until like 12 am. LOL. Kinda long huh? Anyway, it was bedtime and we all went back into the chalet. Here is a picture of the inside:

Guess what. We had to squeeze MORE THAN 10 BOYS into that small room!!!. Here is a photo of what it was like before we were about to sleep:

LOL! Thats not all, there were still a few behind the camera:

Sorry if the photo is kinda dark, because I didn't want to startle them with my flash. xD Anyway, I woke up at about 7.30 am. My friend Ivan and some of the other boys went to the nearbly Mc Donalds to have breakfast while I stayed put. HAHA. Anyway, after they got back, I played soccer for about an hour with the 3 boys. After that, I had more lessons with Mark. He taught us about prayer and how we should pray sincerely to God. He said that we should not repeat our prayers and try to stay focused by trying to say different things every prayer. He said that repeating a prayer is like having someone talk to you about the same thing over and over again. Anyway, the lesson lasted about 1.33 hours. After that, I played more Sabotuer until lunch was bought for us. This is what we had for lunch:

Look good right? HAHA. It is called "wan tan min". It was DELICIOUS. LOLz. Anyway, I don't want to make you hungry anymore. =P

After we had lunch, we played MORE Sabotuer.. xP There was a choir session from 3pm to 6pm... Anyway, after that, we had dinner at 6pm. Guess what we had for dinner. BARBECUE! LOL. Here is a photo of the cooking:

Thats the chicken pieces.Here is some of the other foods we had:

I don't need to say what those are. =P

HAHA. The food was EXCELLENT. After I finished eating it was about 8pm, and I watched Ivan's friend play Chinese Chess. He got thrashed totally by someone's father. I watched for about an hour. After that, we played a game called "Signs". The objective is to pass a message on by doing different signs of each person. So you must remember the signs of other people or you will just hold the sign. There will be a person standing in the middle of the circle made by the players and this person will keep spinning and try to catch the person with the message. If he does, the person he or she caught gets to be the guy standing in the middle and looking for the person with the message.

We played that game for about 0.5 hours. After which I had to leave and it was almost 9.30 pm. I was lucky to get a ride from the mom of a boy named Danny to Simei MRT station. I took the MRT home reached home at about 10.20 pm. HAHA. The camp was great overall. After I went to the camp, I realised that the only reason why their church is different from mine is that they do not believe in the Book of Mormon. Other than that, they believe in the same qualties, the same priciples, the same almost everything... It really hit me why people actually join these churches. Mark, who taught me the lessons, was extremely convincing and I am sure that anyone without a religion who listened to him would be very easily converted. Well, thats all for now... =D

Normal day of school xD

2009-07-16T03:33:00.000-07:00

Normal day of school xD

For the past three days, I haven't gotten a single piece of homework. Which means that I have been slacking of for three days. LOL. Not really lah. I didn't do anywork apart for a little revising and studying of chinese for next weeks Chinese Oral Test. Yesterday, I managed to finish a novel in one day. The novel is called "Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian". It is the fifth and last book of the Percy Jackson series =D.

My friend had to return the book today because he lent the book to me after he finished reading it so I needed to finish it within a day. I took at least 9 hours overall to read the book. Kinda slow right? xD the book consisted of about 390 pages. Haha. But guess what. I FORGOT to bring the book the today to school to return. xP ARGH! Such irony! Now I owe my friend 20 cents and I hope I remember to bring it tomorrow... xD. LOL. I am so forgetful... Anyway, the book was great and it was also the best of the series of 5. Nothing special really happened for the past 3 days, but tomorrow something special is gonna happen.

My friend,Ivan, from my class invited me to his church activity. He is from the Baptist Fellowship Church (BFC) .The activity he invited me to is a youth activity (age 13-20 for their church). I have to be at Pasir Ris MRT Station by 5.15pm tomorrow... xD. The activity lasts until Saturday night where we end with a barbecue. YES! =P We are going to Costa Sands (Pasir Ris). HAHA. For my church friends, don't worry lah, I will stay faithful to our church =). That is not all. I went on the condition that he will come to our youth activity (ages 12-18 for our church) on the 25th of July =D. So the youth who are coming to our activity will be able to see him. Ok, I got nothing else to talk about. I will post more about my friend's church activity on Saturday. Btw, our school got its second case of H1N1. A secondary 4 boy got it ( I don't know which class). HAHA. Thats all for now.

School? xD

2009-07-14T01:18:00.000-07:00

Today is Tuesday. Tuesday is the day of school I like least because it has every examinable period which means there is Maths, Lower Secondary Science (Physics for this term), Geography and Mother Toungue (Chinese..Duh! xD). The only fun period was PE, which wasn't really very fun for me today. xD Why not so fun? Because I did not have any clean PE shorts to wear today which resulted in me being punished by having to run 6 extra rounds around the school's 400 metres track xD. It wasn't very hard, but it wasn't very enjoyable either...LOL! After that, I played hockey with the class with odd index numbers as one team and even index numbers the second. And my team won the hockey match for the first time!! HAHA (we play hockey when we have time left for it). Thats all for PE. xD

Today, we went to the new science lab to do physics stuff. All we did was measure the width of a boiling tube, the diameter of the inside, and then using the information we have to find the thickness of the glass. Also, we measured the density of a wooden cube... BORING! xD. HAHA. Today was my first day using the new science lab and guess what... I was the 2nd boy to break the boiling tube that we were measuring xD. First, my friend Lucas dropped his. Fifteen minutes later, I got so bored I didn't even know what I was doing and dropped the boiling tube xD. HAHA!!! It shattered all over the floor and I was asked to clean it up and I still owe my teacher $1 for breaking it xP. I can't believe it...first day in the new lab and I had to break something for the first time xD.

For maths today, we finally received the answers to a question that no one knew how to solve on the first day we got it (not including crazy answers from some students xD). The question is like this: "Estimate the number of fish in a pond without harming the fish". The question sounds simple right? NOT! Our teacher added on that the water is murky and that it is a huge pond. But we had 3 days to do it. HAHA. That made things harder for us. Anyway, I was the only one who found the right answer. Its called the Capture and Recapture method. Go read about it somewhere else because I don't want to explain what it is because it is complex xD. Anyway, the FUNNIEST answer that the teacher got is from my humourous friend named Oscar Loh. HAHA. He said to feed the fish magnetic food and then suck them all up with a strong magnet and count them all before they die. HAHAHA! Lame right? But Oscar said it for fun only ( I think xP). But the "Lamest Answer Award" doesn't go to Oscar, instead it goes to Syazwan! Guess what he said. He said " Just ask the owner of the pond". HAHA They dare to say things like that because my maths teacher is too nice to them xD. HAHA. Thats all for maths.

Something happened that made things worse in my school regarding the H1N1 virus. One boy got it in my school! I don't know the boy's name but he is from class 102 and my maths teacher teaches that class too xD. HAHA. Because of the H1N1 virus coming to our school (it is welcomed by many students. LOL!), we were forced to sit according to our index numbers and exam style which means we have to sit about half a metre away from each other. xD HAHA I hope that those who don't want the virus and that those who want it will get it... JK!! LOL. Ok, thats all for now... =D

My day at school.

2009-07-13T03:22:00.000-07:00

My day at school

Today, it was an EXTREMELY slack day at school. HAHA. It is Monday and we have English, Literature, Computer Studies, Physics, Personal and Social Education and Art periods (1 period in my school is 50 minutes xD). Today our Eng and Lit teacher didn't come (we have one teacher for both subjects) and so, the only serious period that we had was Physics. Our class was momentarily distracted by a HUGE grasshopper that happened to climb across our class screen. Here is our class screen:

Erm... the grasshopper isn't there cuz by that time it had died xD. You are wondering how it died? Well, when they wanted to retract the board after Physics, the poor little thing got crushed by the sliding screen...Here is a picture of it:

HAHA. Disgusting right xP. Anyway, that is not all. It left behind a "mark" for us to remember it ever after! Here it is:

LOL!!!! That is the mark it left when it was squished against the white screen xP. Ewwww... LOLZ. To summarise, I had a great day at school. =D School ended at 2.10 today and I had lots of fun (especially when we played "catch" during recess. Childish right? xD). Post somemore tomorrow! =D

Stake Youth Clean-Up Project

Church Youth Clean-Up Project

Today, my church had an activity which was organised for the youth in our church (12-18 years' old). The activity was to clean up the chairs and tables in the church. We only managed to clean the chairs on second level ( there are four levels). That took us about an hour and a half. The activity started at 10 am and ended officially at about 11.40 am. They bought doughnuts for us and lots of H2O( the carbonated one xD) . It was great, but after the activiy was officially closed, it wasn't over for the youth.

We planned to play basketball but unfortunately no one had the keys to the bring the basketball board from the ceiling to level (it is kept against a ceiling and when you want to use it, there is a button that must be pushed in order to use it and there is a key for the button xD) . You probably don't understand what I mean, but all you need to know is that we could not play basketball. So I played ping-pong with Dennis and Michael.( I was literally OWNED by them xD) I played with them for about 40 minutes ( I think xP) and after that, we went up to second floor where the youth were playing dodge ball with the basketball they brought. HAHA

It was extrememely fun xD. We played it continuously for about an hour and a half. xP After a while, we played captain's ball and my team won! ( LOL I am a show off right? xD) After that we played soccer with the basketball cuz we had practically nothing better to do xD, and my team won again. LOLZ Anyway, my team consisted of Michael, Sherwayne and Mathias. These 3 are very good in sports, so it isn't suprising that my team won xD. HAHAs. Anyway, I played until 2.50 pm then I had to go home because at 4 pm I had to reach school for the SJI Annual Parade. LOLS. I was 5 minutes for the Annual Parade cuz I left a bit late, hahas. I haven't had such a packed and fun day in a while xD. Ok, thats all for now. ^^

Church Today

2009-07-11T06:13:00.000-07:00

Church Today =D
Today , I went to church as usual. Church starts at 9am and ends at 12 pm. Today, after church the young man in our ward took lots of photos with my older brother's camera ( Chong Woon Han). Here are some of the photos we took together:

We look cool right? xP Joking!

LOL, they asked me to do the "mafia pose"...HAHA

Lol, the one "acting" strong is John. The one tallest in the photo is Michael. Erm, the girl in the picture is Marion Tan (she is just my friend hor...)

Michael and John tried to run out of the picture for fun but Michael was silly and ran to the back of the photo and can still be seen. xD (No offense Michael =P)

LOLz, thats all the photos I want to show... haha. Anyway, I just want to say that I had a great day. Also, I thank my brother for taking most of the photos if not all for me ( the first picture is self-timer by the camera xP). Thats all for now =D

Annual Parade

Annual Parade.

Today is I just came home from my school's SJI Annual Parade.( AP for short) The AP is to promote all uniformed group CCAs in my school. The secondary 4 boys are stepping down so this ceremony is for the passing of authority from the sec 4 to sec 3 students. The AP lasted from 4 pm to 7 pm. All the while we were just sitting there watching the Ap. Only at the last part did we march with the main band (cuz sec 1 boys could not join the band in playing the music). HAHA. It was a great feeling to march with them for the first time. xD Here is a photo of the Annual Parade:

The attire for the sec 1 boys in the band is white long sleeve shirt, white long pants, black shoes and black socks... HAHA. Can you believe it? We had to wear that in the hot evening sun! xP Here is a picture when I came home from the AP:

LOLZ. It was EXCRUCIATINGLY HOT!!( we all had to experience it, so i shouldn't be complaining xD) Anyway, back to the AP. After we finished all the marching and stuff, it was 7 pm. The secondary 4 boys wanted to take pictures with their various sections before they step down. So, it took another hour before I was dismissed xD. I was dismissed at 8 pm and reached home at 8.40 pm. LOL. Thats when I asked my mom to take a picture of me so i could put it in my blog. =P Thats all for now. xD

My class newsletter!

2009-07-10T06:36:00.000-07:00

My class newsletter!

Hey readers, today my class had one "Personal and Social Education" period and we spent the 50 minutes discussing for the making of a class newsletter. Er...we discussed about the different sections that we will have in our monthly class newsletter. I can't remember all that there were, but there were sections like "Jokes!" or "CCA Specials". HAHA. Sounds kinda lame right? Just kidding! LOLZ. Anyway, there is one particular section which my classmates were more interested in making.Its called: "Muscle Pages" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Go ahead, laugh! HAHA My class was laughing our heads off when my friend, Oscar, suggested it to the teacher who was writing down suggestions on the white board...LOLZ!!!

Anyway, the article is just about health... and guess what? I was asked to be "interviewed" for the "Muscle Pages" HAHA xD. They asked me a few questions like "how much do you exercise" or "what advice would you give to keep fit". HAHA. The last question was "Do you think you are sexy?". xD They even begged me to pose ( I don't pose well xD) for a photo to put on the front page of "Muscle Pages" Here is the photo:

LOLZ! Thats how carried away my classmates can get xD. They fool around so much I can't believe that they can actually get things done!(for certain classmates lah, not all)

LOLZ. So anyway, another friend named Sherwin was put in charge of putting all the sections together and make the final product which is the "Class 106 Newsletter" which my form teacher will read to make sure it is appropriate to be published(believe me, its VERY IMPORTANT that the teacher read through it first xD). LOLZ, it really brightened up my day. Thanks 106 for being so humorous! =D.

Relaxed...

Tnx Michael!!!

I just wanted to say tnx to Michael for helping me so much. Tnx a lot Michael! HAHA. We talked for about an hour and a half. We talked about my feelings towards some1 and he helped me realise that the best way to really help her is to just wait... xD. I won't emphasize anymore cuz its kinda personal... erm... for my classmates who know what I mean, just keep it to yourself ok? (no offense xD)

Anyway, tnx a million Michael, was great talking to you =D.

My feelings.

2009-07-09T05:38:00.000-07:00

This term, my friends and family(specifically my mom xD) say my attitude has changed entirely. Last two terms of school, I was known as a mega slacker...LOLZ.( i really was a slacker xD) Now I hear from my friends that I should not be working so hard. HAHA. But my mom says she likes me better like that, lolz (my teacher also made the same remark). Anyway, I just want to tell all that I have a motivation for all this, but I won't say it yet. (But my mom knows,lol)HAHA, this is post is more for my SJI friends, lolz. My friend Isaac of 106 says he was freaked out at my behaviour when I started the term =D. haha. To me thats good...jk haha.

I'm not sure how long I can keep this attitude,though. I hope that my motivation will stay as one instead of become a distraction xD. Its an entirely new phase of my life =D. Anyway, sorry if I didn't blog for so long... I just was too lazy too back then xD. I just hope that I can somehow upload my pictures... ARGH! I don't know if its a problem with the internet or blogger...I like my posts better with pictures but unfortunately i can't upload them xD. Anyway, I am aiming to be at least top 10 in class at the end of the term which some people in my class think is impossible for me xP. HAHA, this term I will show them that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!...LOLZ. Thats all for now. =P

Just blogging for fun! =P

2009-06-30T06:35:00.000-07:00

Hey readers!!! I haven't posted anything in a long time. I was "occupied" recently with other things. I never really bothered to blog because I didn't have much to write about back then. But now that I look back, I realised what was happening to me.

I could spend up to 7 hours playing DOTA without resting,eating or drinking. HAHA! Anyway, I never thought that i would ever give it up... xD. I can't say that I am not addicted to DOTA now cuz i have only stopped playing it ever since the 3rd term of school started, but i am trying my best to keep myself occupied with other things. Actually, that isn't really hard cuz the number of things that I have to do is CRAZY!(literally) Recently I just finished my Chinese project. HAHA. It was so tedious to do sia... xD. Anyway, we were assigned to do our family tree in Chinese xP. Haiz...doing it in CHINESE was already bad enough cuz my dad's side of the family does not even know Chinese...worst still, my family is HUGE! xP

The things we were assigned to do are: Do a family tree of 3 generations starting from me to my grandfather...xD. We have to find their names, birth dates, and photos. We also had to write about where our ancestors came from... Haiz... The killer part of the project was the photos! Erm, the people in the photos were identified and found by my mom =D cuz i don't even know what some of my relatives look like (thats how big my family is), so I owe a lot to my mom for helping me out...Anyway, thanks to my mom I had gotten most of my family photos. Then I had to put all the photos, names and birth dates together. It took me at least a total of 20 hours to get this project done. I was working my head off for a week xD (maybe thats why I still haven't played DOTA for a week,haha).

Hahas, anyway, i handed the project in and i got FULL MARKS on it from my chinese teacher which is 100/100. HAHA. I don't even know why she gave me so much. I only gave the birth dates of one family and a few death dates. xP... LOLZ. Thats all about lah, will blog about other things now...cuz I don't really like talking about school anyways. HAHA!

Saint Joseph's Institution Secondary 1 Orientation

2009-01-25T03:36:00.000-08:00

I haven't regretted going to Saint Joseph's Institution yet.(I don't think I ever will. HAHA) Anyway, recently my school Secondary 1 students had a campfire. But I will talk about that later. Our school had a 2 day 1 night Secondary 1 Orientation Camp. You are probably wondering what we did right? Well, we played games and listened to talks and stuff. The two best things in the orientation camp was watching a movie called "Remember the Titans". The second best thing was when we played a game where there are two teams, and all players have to tuck one sock at the back of their pants where visible. Each team has to try to take each other's sock and put it on their own team's chair. When somebody's sock gets taken, he is out of the game. The team with the most socks on their chair wins. The first day of Orientation camp lasted like 8 am to 1.15 am literally. Thats a long time right? And the next day we had to wake up at 7.30 am. Thats why the on the second day of orientation camp at about 3 pm, the staff of the school gave a talk for the parents( which the Secondary 1 students also had to attend)which lasted until about 4.30 pm, which resulted in more than half the Secondary 1 students falling asleep. (I saw the students fall asleep and then I fell asleep myself) LOL. Anyway, the main reason for this talk was for the Josephians to put the badge on for us because the school has to officially welcome the Secondary 1 students by letting the PSL( Peer Support Leaders) put the school badge on for us.(Before that we were not allowed to wear the school badge) All of this happened on the 9th and 10th of January. Oh yeah, I am in class 106 which is the STDP (Special Talent Development Programme) for maths.

Here is the video of it them putting the school badge on for us:

I apoligize if the videos are a bit blur but my mom filmed all of this using her handphone. Anyway, after that we had something like a celebration time by singing.

Here is one of the songs that we sang:(for this video turn the volume on to listen to the song we sang)

Nice huh? LOL. Just kidding.
Anyway, that was the end of the day and I went home to play computer, eat and sleep.

Second part of Orientation:

The second part of the Secondary 1 Orientation was a campfire which happened on the 22nd of January. The whole campfire was just the Secondary 1 students singing, making noise and playing. So there isn't much to talk about.

Here is a photo of the fire at a distance:

The above photo was taken at about 6.45 pm.

Here is a photo of the fire during night time:

Don't be fooled, the fire didn't light up the whole place. There were orange lights that were a lot more powerful than the little light that the fire could offer.

The video below shows our school rally first and our school cheer at the last part.( Turn your volume higher to listen)

Here's a photo of me and my class at the campfire.HAHA.

Oh well, thats all about the Orientation.

School is starting soon!!! XD

2008-12-28T22:08:00.000-08:00

School begins this Friday(2/1/2009). I got posted to SJI (Saint Joseph's Institution) recently and I am going there to begin a new chapter of my life. Having just graduated from primary school in 2008 (Qeenstown Primary School), I am sure that I won't be used to being one of the younger guys in secondary school XD. Another thing that I am sure that I won't be used to is that I am going to a boys school, but I am excited about being in a new environment to learn. There are two reasons why I chose SJI as the school that I want to go to. Firstly, it is a good school because the students there are nice people and the teachers are committed to teaching. Secondly, it is a boys school which means that I won't be distracted by girls.Ha Ha. I hope that at least some of my friends from Qeenstown Primary School will keep in touch with me, especially my best friends Justin Chan, Bryan Teng(who is following me to SJI), Zhong Xuan and Wei Xiang. I wish every Qeenstowner a good time in secondary school. Remember, work hard, play hard and work smart.Ha Ha. Good luck!!!
