im sick, stupid fever, and its old students day tmr but i think that no one will be going back. oh well

urgh

Last night went to the Gil Shaham concert. I'll say, he's gooooood. and he played tchaikovsky violin concerto too, thats better, and the butterfly lovers concerto, very good as well.
There's only that much good you can express in limited vocabulary. well nitez all

Woop

wheep teachers day tmr and i have to play, dammit now i cant go for ACES..........i did so wanna play more badminton

another entry

i hope mr sze doesnt fry me for skipping rehersal, but anyway yay badminton won overall first!!!! c div 2nd, b div 2nd. wahaha. damn daryl eng is freaking pro he whacked me and kaiping, though mainly because of me. but however, moor's b div is sooo bad the didnt win overall first.

Let's see, we won hockey and thats just about it, smth along the lines of 5 third positions, but the bulk was won by bayley and buckley, whose extra points dont really pull them up from their pit of doom.
Some Youth Science Conference tmr, so might be skipping SYTO (sorry ivan :P)
Arh well thats about it

ooh-owtch

today badminton house carn trials. guess what? i didnt make it cos mark said i didnt have the stamina. CANT A FAT GUY HAVE STAMINA?!?! and we only played for like ten mintues. heck grop two was lousy and makr still thinks we can win a medal.... sigh. i dont think they have teamwork and i can play well with shanghui but noooooo they don't think i can play. I'm still going down on friday anyway, like heck i can't play 5 sets. i can play 10 if i wanted. I just hope the ppl from group two don't lose too much. and for trials i just HAD to partner the BEST guy around who smahsed all the time.
"we can tell if someone can play well even if he plays someone really good" riiiight how can u show that u can play if u get smashed 3/4 of the time?!?! like TONS of ppl are saying susilo sucked cos he lost to boonsak, my FOOT susilo is a GREAT player. well maybe i have too much of an ego problem, but mark isnt going to stop a determined remi. I'm still going down, chances are some other players don't have the enthusiasm. So perhaps mark will let me play, and perhaps kaiping should have come down too. At any rate, towards no stamina i played a few sets with mark and wasnt tired out, and even thouhg it might have convinced him, he couldnt change what was written.
Well i suppose you think im so ego and i think im really pro at badminton. and thats why im making such a big fuss over this. but heck for hullett, anyone who wants to join is in. or at least i've heard. I say that morrison has donkey chances for winning the badminton, though malcom says the B div will be fine, there are only two actually good players on the morrison C div team, and don't worry, i don't mean myself, so we probably wont get a medal.
Well thats enough repetition for now. I thouhgt today would turn out to be a great day, since i DIDNT FAIL my chinese paper 25.5/40 and being a sadist as everyone is, 5 people failed. QianChen and his usual genius chinesey self got 40/40 "!" for math i got 30.5 over 40, seemingly lousy the class average was about 21 and now the whole class is pissed with me. i wonder why they never get pissed with liqian, i mean he got 38 or so for the paper topping the whole GEP.
ranitng about the whole lousy today nothing more to say

ZZhaohan

today wouldnt you now it, physics test, i sooo died. my first answer i think was different from liqian's so i got it wrong. in fact the only test im probably going to pass is the hair check. (dont worry, its just a joke, i don't think i'll fail that many tests) Ali was being his usual alish self saying, "Deii" constantly, whatever it means, i think it makes him sound like a bimbo. English was usual, mr koh digressing away from MOV to talk about unrelated stuff and now the malaysian trip has ben postponed, talk about crap and today was second violin sectionals so no rehersal for me. Just doing nothing at home.

tomorrow, hopefully i'll finally get into the main orch and im probably going to do what zhaohan and yizhe did, staying from TO to YO and spending 5 or so hours there.

F=ma (and other crap)

Well for clarification, the chinese test was very hard, but not super hard, a diference in level of difficulty. However, the math test was very hard, to the extent that, liqian, seng teck, juanhe and many more besides could not finish it. looks like no perfect score for liqian this time :( you bring in graph paper and find out you dont need it as u dont even have time to do the graph question. maybe we should go on strike and ask for extra tinme :)

Argh

dammit, hotmail directed all my mail from important egroups to the junk folder, thus i missed a week of important notices. how nice. Nothing much else to say, chances are, im going to pass this chinese test, wasnt super killer hard :P

"So much for hotmail efficiency"

Argh two stupid tests on friday, including chinese, i will so die i just hope i can beat bernard, gary, weizhi, kern and gabriel. If im lucky, mabe joshi and jonathan. For math, ill be ecstatic to tie with liqian.
Anyway, at RISE practice, Mr sze asked us to choose between three movements and the first violins all chose the third, which had a super hard violin solo. Thus the entry name
Must go study for chinese otherwise I will surely die.

"Hey you people, sadists!" - Shaggy

Maybe its time i changed my layout, to something non-sephiroth. AFter all, I still can use one winged angel even though my blog doesnt say it, since when did you follow what your blog says? :P I wonder what i should change it to. hmm

One Winged Angel

looks like today will be the usual national day with me watching the celebration on tV and seeing Rayner and some others in the SYO on tele. How interesting.nothing else to say for now so nitez

Happy National Day

Yesterday was history drama! Started with Nygh seeming a LOT like STTD, the RI with Wei zhong acting as a minor role "hamtaro" so of Taro. then it just got from worse to worser (that was deliberate) VS and the constant repetition of, "I am Tomoyuki Yamashita, a general of the Japanese Imperial army." got quite boring after a while. and they got 2nd, grmph ny got first and we got third. ACS and DHS got merit. rgs and tchs didnt take part and for some reason tchs was no where to be found. had syto after that and looks like im not going to he main next week, must wait for mrs wong to "check" sigh.

Scrabble is getting fun again, especially when u scrabble words like "eclipse, romantic, and denoted"

final fantasy music is nice too, just got the victory fanfare from FF7, 8, 9, X and i think that the fanfare part of it, 8 is the best, but the rest is crap, the best overall including the dending would be the one from X. well its just my opinion.

anyway happy national day everyone!

Denoted

weeeell cross-country today, i dunno how good 30+ min is, but anyway sec ones got 4th, sec twos 4th,, sec 3s, first, so next year without sec 3s, we're one for. sec ones finished all the milo dammit, oh well they had H-TWO-O, the isotonic drink, not water. besides that it was fun, too bad joshua toh couldnt run.

Morrison is gone next year

today i had a violin lesson which was completely lousy. and i absolutely agree with ali's rules on blogging. people will either blog about how lousy their life is, or about the geneva convention to show how proded you are, or just being happy. well the first two point are evident and the last one is true as well, but what else is there to blog about, what you do in class? hmmmmmmmm.
In class we started with Math, I completely screwed up my trigo worksheet because of sig figs. Mr teo is so unfair, -1/2 for every question, and liqian gets 10/10, as usual. ok we watched an interesting math show and then it was english. Normal Wenjun Mr Koh battling it out ending with Koh's philosophical, "You know in certain times, the true cowards show up" something along the lines i tried to write in a chinese zuo wen but failed horribly cos i cant express words in chinese very well. Ok the com studies we were learning KARA THE LADYBIRD! and ASD programming. Then recess, chinese, com studies again and school day over. I didn't sidetrack too much drawing nonsense.
Also when liqian and i were walking to the clasroom, this sec one came up and said "hi liqian" but liqian had no idea who he was. then i said to him, "hi david" and he said, "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?" displaying the features i remembered him by, not wanting to sound insultive, but loud, obnoxious and vulgar. well anyway he repeated it when i looked at him and reminded him who i was, and he said, "oh" david went to the SE camp last year but now is in badminton, dunno whether school team or not. badminton stealing so many ppl, they stole kaiping too, but not like u can blame them, kaiping's a SBA player.

nothing to name

Mr Sze is now calling everyone for assessments. i sure hope he does mind if i play etudes instead of pieces cos thats all ive been working on. changed blog music again still more Final fantasy :P

Assessments

Well this was on Monday. I suppose on the whole it was a great concert :D Shuxiang played really well, and taking into account that he was nervous, it was a really a job well done. and he got two bunches of flowers :) so the cellists joke that yanci wants to play a solo too :P
In case anyone doesn know the programme, here it is/was:
Peer Gynt Suite
Bruch Vioin concerto
Intermission
Tchaikovsky Symphony No.5
Encore 1 Rusland and Ludmilla Overture -Glinka
Encore 2 Salut D'Amour
Encore 3 Mr. Sze's famous play back something from the concert (last page of symphony this time)
That's basically it

Yay, now Jingxun is the chairman of RISE. good to know many people voted for him. Well thats about it. Signing off

RenaISsencE 2004

havent blogged in a while, concert is soon so a ton of rehersals. well last monday, youth day, some of us went to check out to esplanade hall. very big, and big drop if you fall off the edge. after which we went for lunch at mr sze's place, he cooked a nice spagg. Then we played risk. not much else to say. cept PLEASE BUY TICKETS!

Super Shaggy

today i found out that people in my school can even stoop to the level to steal. how diappointing. six people in class get stolen from, so much for my ticket collection money. If i find the bugger who stole that , im forcing him to buy 3 tickets.

Moral of the story, not even you money in a wallet in the pocket of your pants wrapped up in your shirt inside your schoolbag inside your own classroom is safe.

And it seems Mr Koh doesnt really care about it. hmmm :D

Koh'ster Isle

school is starting tmr and Mr koh's phio project is drving a lot of people crazy. I wonder how many people still havent finished their hol hw?
three weeks left to the concert, get your tickets now!

woofwoof

Still have a mountain of homework that needs to be done. Owtch. And everyone, please buy tickets to the 19th July RISE concert at the Esplanade Concert Hall, 7.30pm, it's a Monday night. Tickets at !

Succession of Witches

Busking yesterday outside Shaw House, Isetan. Continually playing EineKlieneNacht, Frolicsome Finale, Zhaohan's LOTR mix, and Kanon. Had Macdonalds with Samuel cos Zhaohan and the others went to KFC after slacking, grrr they didn't carry any chairs, but anyway, I guess its the interacter's fault we had to bring the chairs ourselves, as the MRT didn't allow chairs on board.
And there was this fat caucasian guy who was talking to a Singaporean couple for about an hour while we were playing, and then he commented to Mr Ong, "I have heard older and more experienced groups play worse than this." and other stuff that Zhaohan might have blogged about. That's all in the busking, Yizhe kept getting sidetracked by breakdancing. Hmmm

Busking@Orchard

So now I'm back from Bali, it's back to RISE practice, and i wish someone could please kindly tell me what time practice is tomorrow.
Still not much to blog about.

Back

ok, so the SMO was completely screw-up, sighz, really hope i get gold, or it's worth jumping off a building. (a toy building that is).

Not much ado around the house, mainly cos I don't dare to touch my homework =)

Now trying to learn "Eyes on me" for piano, it's so easy and it will take me an age, thats how bad my piano is, seriously, I dn't take it for examinations.

So Please buy tickets for RISE concert on 19 July Esplanade Concert Hall. It's a ticket! Support us!
Thank you very much

hoppity-hop

oh well camp over, dang wish we had more night games, samuel and I found a great place to hide.
I do have an SMO paper tomorrow so I need to sleep reeally early, also considering i had about 5 hours of sleep altogether the past two nights.

Changed blog music to something nicer, anyway old one was getting just a tad too boring.

SMO

its nearly SE camp! argh i can't waiitttttt. suspense illing me. oh well

Two more days

SYTO school concert yesterday. I completely flopped it with demo. I can only say the last page of valse was ACTUALLY in time. For the second time ever since we started rehersals.

Yesterday went to the ISD and saw an inddor koi pond there with a KPfish. (Kian Peng fish) Same lenght as the others, three times as wide. Dominic coined its nickname. So they presented us with the plaque or however you spell it, and we had some food to eat. :) I felt so greedy.

Grandfather's birthday today. Not much else today except programming Direct X 2.0 is fun.

Ermph again

my uninteresting titles for entries seem to have taken an onomatopoeic form.

i have deduced that if there really is a holy one on earth, he would take the form of a liqian. liqian has insane results. Thats about it. How many people get 3 perfect scores (and counting) for exams in sec 2??!? For example, if he gets a zero for english we have worked out he will get an average of 80%. The only way for him to get an A2 average is to get -31 for english, which is technically impossible.
Okay enough about liqian. my exams are completely crap. and seriously, crap, not "crap not up to expectation" crap but "really crap" crap

Ermph

Yes I just went to watch thier concert. Very good in fact. especially Bohemian Rhapsody which was their finale. And one of them can do and incredibly good falsetto which he shows in the BeeGees "Stayin' Alive"
Not much else except my science paper is completely screwed

Ten Tenors

somehow i cant get into RO today, how sad.... Anyway swim carnival yesterday and i still don't know which house won, i had to leave for SYTO, whereas some slackers like jonlim didnt even attend swim carn, i can't believe what the world is coming to, people "ponning" compulsory events with the feeble excuse, "I don't want to" or "half the class isn't going anyway". With all this, what more can you expect out of people.
Oh, I've just heard, Morrison won! yay! finally a big event that we win.

Swim Carn

Ah finally the exams are over, I did soo badly i'll be amazed with a B3 or something. wewwll anyway liqian, arun and went to watch Troy! yay :) cos yuguang jasper shanghui joshi toh yappie, and others were too engrossed in soccer, tehy catched a later show.
Troy is quite a great movie and Orlando proves he still can only look cool with a bow and arrows. The only bad thing about the movie is the ending. Its done all trying to be sentimental and stuff, but it just isnt suited for the rest of the movie. And the cinema kept giving blurry images during the cool parts with all the fighting. :( but i do recommend you to all watch it.
So back to practicing violin.

The boatman of Styx must be very rich

today, KOH did more than his usual. and ended up severely hurting two unnamed members of the class. thus I conclude, and the class has decided, that KOH is not worth listening to all the time. ok, CTs next week, just be ver please

Gilgamesh

ok, geog over, next week all the rest of the tests. argh

Owtch

Last night i went to anothr concert, Massimo solo violin at victoria concert hall. the first few pieces didnt really strike me, but when he got to paganini, he really got warmed up and was just incredible (limited vocabulary limits speech on concerts) Junhong was there.

Anyway, today on "learning journeys" I went to ulu pandan incineration plant and the guide said he didnt even take us to the "quite smelly" place. owtch, rubbish trucks smell like perfume compared to this particular room we went to, incidently there was a door leading to the toilet in that room, i wonder who actually uses it? went to see the boiler, what can i say... big flame, scorching hot. The place where rubbish trucks dump their to be incinerated load, is quite interesting. a three storey drop down with no barriers protecting people from falling over. peered down and figured that if the rubbish cushioned your fall, the smell would kill you. class debated pushing wenjun over, in the end we decided not to, he wasnt worth the trouble.

Today I finished bio project with liqian, (yes, be jealous) so one less thing out of the way. cos friday is the %#!@$^@#!%*$@&! chinese test.

CTs are coming
be afraid
very afraid

Leviathan

Guess what, the emcees told us what it meant, and i forgot.... oh well. yea its the rjc chamber ensemble and band joint production. Samuel lim on one side and domkia on the other. and dom was itching and fidgeting throughout the first few pieces just to get to hoe down. At hoe-down it would seem that their second desk oustide player first violin does not do it. (RISE members should know what this means) and the poor trumpet solo... B-A-G-Fsharp (though rayner says it was an F) but he did get it right in the repeat he got it right, a very good trumpet player he was. I can't believe I'm being so negative, but I must say the Symphony by the student conductor was EXCELLENT INCREDIBLE AMAZING and kinda LOTR like ;) I especially like the part which involve the three marimbas/glockenspiels/whatever they were. Anyway saw lingying and lingxiu there. one of them, i think xiu was in the nanyang school band so they came to watch. Then yizhe was constantly reminding everyone especially zhaohan about the second desk cellist. Anyhow, it was quite a good performance. And Samuel kept tagging behind me like a doggie during the intermission. i think he was trying to meet someone...

Well that was all last night stuff, today New South Wales Science, I geuss it was ok, and loads of people ponning....erm i mean skipping with reason.....(even though there was a makeup for those with 3rd lang) their 3rd lang. the few people who still went to 3rd lang were liqian (obviously) qian chen, ziyang and for some reason, daniel.
Well, I just hope i did better than liqian (wishful thinking) but its good to hope. :)

Vox Stellarum

Trying to decide whether KOH's hw is due on monday or friday. liqian and qian chen say monday, gerald, tuckheng, jasper, ali say friday. the more slack the merrier. (you know my answer to that)

My violin bow desperately needs to be rehaired, hmmmm.

I also have finally got RO to patch with thanks from one of the GMs, dylan. thank you very much.

now let me list off some happy birthdays. happy birthday yizhe! yeah, and tts all the birthdays in the vicinity of 2 days.

Going to the rjc string ensemble, no "chamber orchestra" performance tomorrow, must check timing with jingxun
Well thats all there is.

Firaga

argh ABCCEE weeeell at least i didnt fail. *optimistic look* nothing more to add

Things arent always as they seem

yupz, Mr Law is bringing soome ppl who signed up tmr, liqian wants me to help hm buy a ring of power! i dont thinkm he needs it though, being the holy one.
NAPFA stations tmr, im sooo gonna die, owing to the fact that i THINK i only got a pathetic miserable E, i havent checked yet, but a timing of 13.35 is a bound E. proving tt brain power doesnt mean no muscle power, liqian (the holy) gets an incredible 11.40, a B, woah. So tomorrow my target is shuttle run D, standing broad jump D, IPU C, sit and reach C, sit-ups A. not outlandishly difficult.
i tried a round of gunbound today after a month or so of not touching it, it was a score game, all down to last life, double death and i was almost dead. they other guys were pros, battle axes, and then they started missing due to unexpected wind, they started whacking each other, and after a long itme of missing, my teammate and i won! completely unexpected.

Now HCL lessons have music appreciation in them, just like KOH lessons, but there was a slight difference, i think KOH is a lot more attentive than kwek.
well, anyway KOH gave us a at least 100 qn comprehension, so i have to do it.

LOTR exhibition

pitas is finally up again, can blog now. interhouse math competition! MORRISON WINS U-14! me bernard and sean yap made it to the second round and interesting thing is, even though sean didnt answer any qns, for the individual paper, he was 1st! beat juanhe. me and bern didnt get anything there though.
Well i finally passed the assessment and making it to the main orch in august another reason to be vaguely happy.

i havent blogged for so long ive forgotten what i wanted to blog about, *sheepish* oh well, byez

hmm

Yes, he didnt give us lesson today, so double free period! spent the first one in the com lab, second one in classroom weeping over liqian :'( that was benedicts idea. anyway, today at debates something happened to jon auyong, urggh, and his handphone got sat on.
Linky has finally convinced me to try ut Ragnarok, oh well.

Jeri Ang rocks

What I had intended to do, was to return home from SYTO, have my lunch, practice the violin, die, then go for the assessment. The logic being that if you die before the assessment, you can't die during it. I didn't work, I think it went horribly, he told me that in the fast movements I get faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster till you get the idea. So, it seems like im still stuck here, i'll know next week, so ivan goh better prepare himself ;)

Assessment

Argh, SYTO assessment, if i fail, i will be stuck in the TO for goodness knows how long and the rest of the people will all advance. boohoo. chances are, i'll fail, or at least, not get an A. Violas are super lucky, even if you get a C you will pass, cos of a severe lack of violists in the main orchestra. erpp need to practise more.
Anyway, today I found out that potassium hydroxide has a fan blog, very invoative of whoever created it. Thanks Arun for wastign all that time during lit lesson so he could postpone the Mockingbird quiz. Oh yes and he let us listen to Mars, God of War, from the Planets.

Chinese had to write some zuo wen, but this was supposed to be a "creative" zuo wen,, so we could talk and move around. So sean yap came over to sit, commenting about the rg sports day today and pushing me to go, I didnt bother, anyway Hadley won, I'll bet 213 is very happy.
speaking of which, I think our sec ones are very despo and deprived, when the RP was giving their announcement on the "joint production.....at jubilee hall........raffles hotel.......with rgs ELDs" the sec ones were like, "woooaaahhh!" and i dont think the other people cared about it. sad really, the sec ones have only been with us for a term.
Ah yes and teo didnt come today! woohoo free math period, time to finish yesterdays homework ;)
hmm, joel's sister seems to be in the SYO, and took picts of us at the AGM, and now joel's bugging me that he has them on his com. Grrrr *caution, dangerous when with masamune*

Going to die in 2

Yes basically, this is for Gary. as the guy from siao hai bu ben, more commonly known as I not stupid, said, "ni2 jai4 rao4 yi4 quan1 lai2 shoot wo1!" gary is sooo violent, he has beaten up wenjun a fair few times, even when he didnt deserve it, thoguh he should never be beating people up. Gary can get all emotional and everything, you just annoy him by writing stuff on the whitebaord, i hold him back, and he kicks me. scraped all the skin off my shin. at least it wasnt my other leg, or he would have ingured my ingury. then he claims i was being gay. He's lucky I don't hit girls. *hinthint
Anyway, yes this is the true gary, dark inner being of gary, surprising im trying to find all the faults of gary. Hes not activiely involved in the house, reminds me of sec 4s i saw during hosue meeting today. Gautam,"let's all stand up and do the cheer!" Some think cool sec 4 behind me, "what kind of f***ed up cheer is this?" and the rest start agreeing. Maybe gary hasnt reached that level yet, but he just stands there with the world-weary expression on his face and doesnt do anything. I wonder how much of his poor deluded soul can be salvaged from the infernal power of Garyism.
Anyway, today we had Lester Lims best lesson every! as about 30% of the class was away at NPCC camp thingy, (yup, we're a class of policemen(=! ) he just told us some of his army stories, like the food. For breakfast they had this square thing he has never been able to figure out what it was. He was told it was omelette, but it smelt and tasted like fart. quite interesting the lesson anyway.

I just found out that what bennedict has been raving about nightcrawler, is not actually a nightcrawleer, but nightcrawler the mutant from X-men with the power to teleport. So blur of me. and yes he is my fav character from X-men as well! =)
Anyway, finally realised that all the punishments for forgetting to bring history file was useless, as i just realised that it had been in my locker all this while. At least i kept yingbo and aaron (hist rep, how could he?) company.
Crappy chinese work to do, urgh hate chinese, and i realise that i dont seem to be caring to much about apostrophes and capital letters in this blog. oh well.

violence is only the mentally challenged

Well had SYO AGM today, seems Shaun ho is chairman and Ike is vice-chairman, went to food haven at SMU for lunch and had tonkatsu set there, thx ivan for lending me cash. anyway after this lecture on how we were good at being bad, bad at being good, we had games, then reception. I had some fun with the dart board. poor wall.
at dinner, i found out that the restaurant i have been going to for 7 years is closing down for good. :'( Kurina. and i had their tonkatsu, its very nice. oh well, its so sad, i understand how royston tan felt.

anyway im going to sleep now, nitez

double, double, toil, trouble and tonkatsu

The whole day was String ensemble concerts, or rather, one in the morning at a dental convention, and once at night to accompany some internal security dinner. My spring solo was like urgggh and to zhaohan and ivan goh, their double viola solo was ALSO like urgggh (incapable of better vocabulary) Anyway HM just HAD to give a half-day today, since I was getting one all the same. Talk about unfair. At least in between we got to LAN. oh yeah. warcraft III the frozen throne rocks, not like a stone, but like american idol. me and ivan thrashed adam and zhaohan, ivan using his favourite phrase "taupok adam!". with my 50 or so spirit towers hogging the center with four gold mines, and two armies, we crushed adam and as quoth adam "zhaohan was incompetent" we obliterated zhaohan too. with a final cry of "*******!(name censored to protect zhaohan's human rights)" zhaohan went down.

Anyway it's relatively late, so need to sleep, tomorrow I have decided to attend the AGM rather than CIP.

Taupok Adam

Today being Wednesday means I only have two periods which actually require brain activity, one requiring muscle activity "and the rest is all silence" Anyway, Mr Potassium hyrdoxide (KOH) was talking about how no one ever wrote an article about what is the ORIGINAL and what is not, sparked off when the discussion of carmen led to the humming of the most famous piece in Carmen, which KN (name coded to protect honour and human rights) said it was on a Nokia ringtone. You can see the buildup. As no one is making Mr Koh's article as so he says, I shall do it myself.

What really is the original

There are so many fine works of art in life, and including music, rock and the like and people get strongly influenced by some of them, and believe them to be the original. This judgement is derived from when the person first comes in to contact with it and thus believes that what he heard first comes first. As the law of chronology clearly states, what came first must be the first and the original. Some people cannot grasp the concept of what came first, and what they heard first, thus get this idea. This is what I believe what some people in the society do, and thus this attitude shold be corrected. So let's all be morally upright people, all be "good" and learn to accept the truth and go with the proposition.

That should be good enough for a nice philosophy journal entry. =) just need to make it sound more philosophical, give it the socrates flair and everything. It must sound pretty crappy.
Anyway i don't have much homework today so I can blog twice, I have not much to blog about anymore as everything has been taken up, maybe I'll just say that I still cant decide whether to go for CIP of AGM. arghh

Caustic Potash

SE practice anded 1h late, not very unusual considering this is the last rehersal before the "performance" and at least i can LAN again b4 the "performance"

I have absolutely no idea whether to go for newpaper collection for CIP or go for SYO AGM. decisions decisions.
Still a lot of work to be done

arhk

changing back to lamer titles. SE today ended at 7.15, 45min earlier than it should have, I showed samuel lim a few magic tricks which made his mind implode. he was like "oh my god! like how did you do it?" "if u dont tell me how you did it im going to......" and stuff like that. but he never found out. rayner has an interesting trick too.

i dont believe I have blogged about the walkathon and fuginn says that there was free orange syrup, drat i didn't see any. so spent the early morning then listening to boring speeches then off for the walk. people, i can make you jealous, cos Mrs Yee was walking with my class. wahahaha :D anyway after the walk went to support buskers, jingxun shanghui ivan zhaohan dominic sim and rayner were there on the corner playing hoe-down, eine kliener, mantras and the like, then had to rush off for SYTO.
the syto sch concert was on monday, yesterday, and i got to skip school because of that, dunno if thats good or bad, and now my com i driving me crazy for its inability to view chinese. im never gonna get my chinese i-learning done. sighz.

I still cant believe people hate FF8, maybe its the time traveling, it does not seem to me like a fairytale. the desert prison is madness, and my bro is fighting ultimecia. i wonder when he can take on Omega Weapon

That no life lives forever
that dead men rise up never
that even the weariest river
winds somewhere safe at sea.

disappointment? jon auyong didnt thrash the living daylights out of scgs? (they scream like banshees) or somethin else...

ok enough of raphael

Today I got my first dk! i could have gotten one more in the same game, and another in another game, (SO many chances) but some other guy got them. It must be my lucky day. Or not
A massive 2 metre python sneaked into my grandmas house and the maids bludgeoned it to death with an iron rod, then gave in bleach for poison, then whack it with stones on the head, then cut it's head of. It was so brutal, they really should have called the zoo, I mean it was alive a few hours ago, now getting whacked to death, especially the stones, everytime a ston hit his head, his body jerked, I feel so sad for him, I'm going to pray for his safe reincarnation. (yesyes religious freak u wanna call me, but it's sin to kill animals)

Today's AIME was super ultra hard, probably died. Thats all I have to say.

You're quite the rude one

Hmm, listening to the BBC just gave me a funny thought. "It's 10 o'clock in Traverse Town, 4 o'clock in Spira, 2 o'clock in Sanctuary and 7 o'clock in Balamb. Whichever game you're in, this is the BBC." I wonder which one of you can place all these games, PS linky, i'm counting on you.
Well, took the MRT with bernard to his house to do Math project, with a certain lack of Arun, but never mind. The funny thing is that Jiahan also took the same train as us, but we never noticed him until we switched to the NE line, and STILL took the same MRT, he'd evidently been hanging around the back of the MRT.
Completely screwed up the physical science quiz, I'm gonna be so dead, Liqian (the holy) as usual got a perfect score (Luckyyyy) but thats just him, so physical science project done too with qian chen, 1 done, many more to go, better get cracking.

Well then, let us dance

Well anyway, yes another of Raphael's quotes, and I noticed that I hradly blogged about the pri sch GEP fun fair exactly one week ago, and I won't say anymore, tons of other ppl blogged about it anyway.

I'm getting pissed at the zombie petpets that Lord Kass of Darigan has sent down, I beat them 4 times, lost 3, and drew once, rats. I'm blowing away a ton of sticky snowballs each costing about 950np and thats quite a lot considering i must have used about 10 already, woah 10000np, bit hard on the bank. Not to mention my com is getting ridiculously slow.
Got to work on some i-learning at last, in fact I haven't started on my actual march holiday homewrk, quite interesting point to note, and I will be very busy. So anywayz, back to neopets, need to earn back some np.

Enough, die already

I had to remove the Raphael picture cos it was kinda getting in the way, so in compensation, I will probably name my next few entries after a quote from him. Also, my com is screwing up bad, I can't even view source codes, and hotmail inbox has a 60% chance of being unfathomably slow.
Today is the first day of the holidays (is there a holiday going on?) that I acually could spend looking at homework. Looking. doing it, well arhm... I spent today practicing the violin, playing FF8 when my mom stepped out, and chatting to ali online and going to the class forum. Tomorrow another full day at String Ennsemble, but the 2 hour lunch break promises to be great fun especially with Samuel lim and jingxun. okie thats enough blogging todays. byez

Even beasts know when to give up

On the whole, it was very fun and enjoyable, and of course my group certainly didnt win (Ali's did) but anyway we got most of the questions correct, and Shibao aka Mr Drama didn't turn up. I dunno whether that was good or bad. eheh. well im surprised that chin seng's group didn't win with so many super brains inside, and also Liqian (the holy)'s group didn't win anything either. And I must thank Melvin for his good job on counting how many times the fountain of wealth sprayed in four years, urggh that required a TON of patience, and I must thank Deng Ying and Ying Zhen for counting how many shops there were on Suntec City lvl 2, and altogether. Imagine 77 stores on level 2 ALONE! hundred plus added together, that required a ton of patience. And of course last but not least, I must thank Shenghao for counting the number of pipes on the fountain of wealth, and solving a good number of other questions as well. So basically thank my whole group, even Shibao who wasnt there for making the first day "interesting" especially the blindfold station game where he barraged through the whole thing, and our Student Leader, some guy who I don't know his name, (why did he have to be so blur!) at least he was so "i dont know anything" it was quite funny. Then thanks Ali for lending me .80 or I'd have gone on without a lunch, and no thanks to you ali, for acting like the ali you are after seeing "LAMER" things. hmm i think thats enough thank you's, oh yes, encore Shenghao for that brilliantly played "entertainer", and Woonhian, you surprise me with your supposed grade 8 piano skills, I'll bet Ziguang is better. and also now I know a few more people that I knew on the net, natalie, shuting and Daffy. Collecting money for 6 people at McDonald's not to mention the change is very tiring, so we worked everything out rounded down or up to the nearest dollar, Shenghao, thank you (honest) for taking my McSpicy double, otherwise I wouldn't have found out that a Big Mac doesn't taste half bad. Anyway, thus I conclude that I had fun, even through the workshop on Uncertainty, though I found myself continually staring at the clock :) and I think it would be fun to be one of the sec 2's student leaders at their camp next year.

Math Trail/Math camp

well once again archiving a page like so many other people, and now i shall advertise another great game, yea you guessed it, Soul Calibur 2.
Yes I know this one's for the PS2 and mine's for the gamecube.

Well it's a fighting game kinda like Tekken, but the interesting thing about it, is that it comes for three different consoles, all the latest and the greatest (so far) namely the Gamecube, Play Station 2 and the X-box(a ripped off com) but in each, you get a different special character, for GC it's link from Legend of Zelda, anoher great game, for PS2 it's heihachi from Tekken, and X-box, it is Spawn. Anyway, I must thank Jonathan for getting this for me. :)
Besides it being a great game, its good nice graphics too and my favourite character, Raphael.
