"Who are you?" asked Shadow.

"Okay," she said. "Good question. I'm the idiot box. I'm the TV. I'm the all-seeing eye and the world of the cathode ray. I'm the boob tube. I'm the little shrine the family gathers to adore."

"You're the television? Or someone in the television?"
" The TV's the altar. I'm what people are sacrificing to."
"What do they sacrifice?" asked Shadow.

"Their time mostly," said Lucy. "Sometimes each other."

-Neil Gaiman, American Gods

You should really read that book - its deep. And not pretty, but very real. Neverwhere had prettier language, but American Gods is just hard and dirty(no pun intended, looks at twinn). And Mr Nancy stars as well! HEH. speaking of which, i want Anansi's Boys back. glowers.

Its sneakily inching towards EOIs, and the science SPAs are rolling around. Freaky. Ms Lim is quite amazed at how we can still manage our "happy chatter" in class. I think my class is really chirpy, if you ask me, everyone chums with each other except, erh hum. 408 is really fun! (with the class size a little diminished, the class has grown closer) Especially in PE, everyone is so participative (except when listening to Mr Yeoh, rather unfortunately).

I will miss my class. Didn't envision myself saying that a year ago. I love 408! xD

Lou go for IMCB! its quite fun, except the waiting parts, and really damm cool if you are into genomics and DNA. Even though hyperscientist there brainwashes a bit about A*Star and IMCB and stuff its really damm nice, their lab. whistles.

Officially, netball trainings has ended for us. I feel kind of lost now, no training to go to, no endorphin boosters on monday and thursday. But we have a nice batch of juniors to handover to! And my batch pretty much revolutionized the CCA i guess, the senior levels and junior levels bonded a lot, in the past we didnt even know all the seniors, and they didnt even take notice of us. Right now the juniors border on impudent. (esp the sec ones, because they you3 fu2 bu4 zhi1 fu2) We had first ever netball chalet, now a group trip in sept which im very excited about, cause we are sending 5 teams to compete in a malaysian carnival for the first time! and im joining an umpiring course, one more level to getting qualified!

I hope i dont lose touch of netball because it taught me the meaning of total and absolute dedication. 4 years of dedication is not something you can tear away from very easily.

no/less trainings has freed up time for class stuff, and i really appreciate that - doing class tee, yrbook and helping out in nat day costume. Which insures me against getting saboed for other stuff (hohum, like ms alma mater. MWHAHA)

even though lessons are weird as usual, with boring teachers, the interesting ones like LIT (OHYEAH), philo (if we have like a debate), PE xD, bio pracs help to keep school bordering on the edge of being pleasant.

im enticed with the thought of bookstores now, since i have books that i wanna read:

My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult

1985, George Orwell

Animal Farm, George Orwell

Saving The Fish From Drowning, Amy Tan

For Whom The Bell Tolls, Ernest Hemingway

Stardust, Neil Gaiman

libraries, unfortunately for mom (NLB librarian), are unreliable. And i yearn to own them, make them permanent, re-readable. (yeah and build up my enviable book collection!)

I wanna watch Cabaret, but i think i have to give a miss. Aww. Fei Xiang's voice is good for musicals, not too warbly, loud and very clear. And i like Emma Yong! Man, i wanna watch. Conks self.

Mom dropped a subtle hint when she showed my the HSBC card to my account and told me she will give it to me in JC. WOW. eyes grow big. I can buy all the theatre tickets i want!!!! MWHAHA. and get circle seats. If not im quite a miser, im not gonna blow it on anything else.

okay i shall scoot. tas

2006-07-15T06:06:00.000-07:00

I don't blame you for being you,
But you can't blame me for hating it.
So say, what are you waiting for?

^currently obsessed with that song haha

Okay, shall just post for the sake of replying your questions :D

Mrs chew rocketh everyone's world!!! :) what math topic? Lol. Eh tell her I (and the whole of 411 o5) miss her :D

Write a bestseller! Hahaha that's damn cool eh let's all collaborate on one lah huh :) it was always kinda my dream to write a book too so.. :D haha your mum rocks. And yeah bio/chem./math/lit sounds good to me :) you can always take h1 physics but if you do you can't take h3 lit I think, too many credits already. Homeroom? As in j1 ar, j1 got not homeroom. Omygosh why everyday for jap visitors lol damn funny. OHMYGOSH tanbengchiak had makeup on?!!! Zomg! Lolls. But actually I think I've seen her with makeup on before so what am I talking about. -.- LOL. eeek my class always screwed gel electrophoresis up y'know, always cannot see anything one, even after we left it for like dunno how many hours. Damn sad. Wahaha.

P.s. I think I'm going to rgs this wed to interview the home econs/aesthetics teachers for my Project Work (damn PW *scowl*) so I can finally collect my yearbook then wheehee. Oh and my address: 56 West coast Crescent #03-03 S(128038) aww thanks darling you sho sweet :)

"Hello."

said the Commander. -THT

i feel like using the archaic form of greeting today xD
waves frantically at lou.

after analysing the book the perception of THT has changed greatly - more sick than before but now with greater appreciation. its what literature does to you.

lou, i wanna join odac! sounds damm fun. and i forgot your addy, cause i wanna send bday present early. HAHA. so you can take it to msia :P

i just looked at the NUS options, and i think i'll take bachelor of science, so its just two H2 sci subjects. grins. but i want to take lit also! or design arts and media, but the criteria is like sky high. booms. hits the ceiling. daddy said i had to half earn my masters, so i have to either: get a job/part time umpiring/set up a company/part time graphic design before i finish NUS. o.O mom doesnt want me to go to NTU, other than that she's fine with everything except wanting me to write one bestseller so she can retire early. dots.

i want to take KI, for the damm fun of it, it looks so darned interesting. maybe bio, chem, H3 lit and KI or stm. looks blur. i dunno how to balance. how to balance arh. or what you suggest larh. bcml. bio-chem-maths-lit. i dunno whether need to take physics one...

ohyeah lou, wanna ask you about homeroom, how to split one? is it according to house or what. XP

the future is simple as long as it has bio and lit. lolx. ohyeah, speaking of which..

yesterday we had bio prac with a total of three kiasu bio teachers (excluding my bio teacher), one bio HOD, one vice principal, one principal, one guest scientist whose kit we were using,dunno how many cameras, dunno how many japanese visitors and one cameraman[do you call him the videoman] and one press.

...

they all crowded into Lab 7 to watch us do...

Pipetting.

[while we were praying we wont screw up the gel electrophoresis.] fantastic.

it was super hilarious, because leetien grilled us on the topic the day before thanks to dtan, and then on the day itself we suddenly becamer super enthu/efficient/intelligent for the first time. o.O and leetien was a bit shocked at our response because normally in the bio lab we are as dead as mutated cabbage. rofl the japanese visitors were damm cute, they even videocammed/photographed our worksheets. and they watched us pipetting into the agar and pipetting the kit thingos (preparing for ligation if you wanna know), and that singapore company scientist was there and mrs tan beng chiak had make up on. HEH. she looked damm cute also.

and so they hung around for ONE hour just watching us pipette. it was WEIRD. i mean, how interesting can it get watching 20 girls fiddling with the pipette and mixing one microlitre of stuffs around. ohwell. then as a treat leetien said she would stain our gel electrophoresis with ithidium bromide (cool!) the one you see under uv light and we were the only batch who got it. xD

dont you just love my half of the class? bio lessons are SO interesting. lolx.

hops off. luncheon. byeeeeeee

2006-07-11T23:52:00.000-07:00

hi darlings :)

lalala. hows school? ^^

am finally getting the chance to post cos my chem tutor happened to let us off early today (had to go jaga the other half of the class who didn't come yesterday and therefore have to go and do their SPA which we did yesterday.) so yeah I'm posting in 3 months! (is it? feels like it LOL) yay! =.='''

bleargh i just got back bio today -.- You'll probably be absolutely horrified if I tell you my grades so I shan't do so :p cos they're just really ghastly gah, and anyways yall probably wouldn't do half as badly as I've done so yeah shan't give yall a bad mark to benchmark against :P Anyway, my bio teacher just dashed my hopes and totally like killed a part of me today when she told the class that you need at least a high C or B grade to even think of doing NUS H3 bio and half our class got S and below so I'm like yeah I'm so sure we can get Bs but whatever -.- Darn it lah i really really want the biodiversity module grrrr. ugh ugh ugh uRgh. Oh anyway just FYI the grades are something like A: above 70%, B: 61-70? C: 55-60? D: 50-55? E: 45-49 S: 35-44 U: below 35% (trust me, it's very possible. haven't actually gotten it myself yet PHEW but seen quite a few around so.. -.-) Superb and Unbelievable. then cos As and Bs are like super rare we have Atrocious and Damn Bad. reverse psychology. :(

Anyway. yeah I'm damn sad about Bio urghhh. I'm still hoping for the 2nd round at least, like early next year or something but I'm quite annoyed by the fact that we must get good enough grades in absolutely sucky exams just to take H3 because the thing about H3 is that it's on topics that are totally unrelated to the H2 syllabus so if you're failing the stupd H2 syllabus it doesn't mean that you're not gonna be able to cope with the H3 one waddddd. Gr.

okay okay that's enough from me lol. *ends rant* Hmm..yeah I've yet to collect my yearbook and my O level cert. assuming I have an O level cert. -.- I do wanna go back to rg, just that I'm too lazy to like take 2 buses to get there pffft. I miss the teachers *wails* hee.

Hmm this is super belated but how're your hols? Other than going to Canada *glares jealously* what else did yall do? :D mine wasn't particularly exciting, spent almost the whole of the last 2 weeks 'mugging' and still i get this kind of results -.- Oh yarh peeps, remember to have very good time management when you do JC exams, cos the main loss of my marks went to lack of time to complete the paper -.- Y'know they keep comparing us to last year's batch lah like whatevrrrr in the first place the syllabus is different! no basis for comparison -.- My batch is super suayyy lah guinea pigs for everything sucks lah -.- plus we're starting to notice that the people scoring really well are the non-rg/ri people LOL. cos the rg/ri people have zilch exam technique etc etc. damn sad lah. haha.
yeah anyway my 2nd week of hols was spent in Trengganu, M'sia! :D super fun, 32km kayaking, "snorkeling" (only abit lah) got damn chao tar, also climbed a mountain halfway to its waterfall (finally got to use our legs after a 13hr bus ride there, 12 hr thereabouts kayaking to the island and another 12hrs thereabouts kayaking back- all sitting down you notice :P) the waterfall wasn't all that pwetty lah but it was not bad :) were sposed to go to the plungepool but then it rained like crazy while we were coming down and we practically slided (is that a word?) the whole way down, lol, quite fun actually. first time walking in a full out downpour, cool experiece (literally :D) yeah and other than that we just had a heck lot of fun and you both should join odac, yeah! then you'll get to do cool stuff like PT (WHICH I HAVE TODAY =.=) and kayaking 32km, you'll get to have cool teacher mentors, and you'll get to have cool seniors like me! how cool is that! :D god i sound so bimbotic. LOL. but seriously, consider okay! ;)

haha..so early already start promoting -.-

mm what else. oooh movies! potc!!! saw the first movie on tv that day ahahah jack sparrow just cracks me up ^^ but I still like orlando more :P because he looks so earnest and pathetic and you just have to go awwww. hahaa :P kk I guess that's it from me for now, shall try to blog within a smaller period of lag time next time :P if any of what I've written up there ^ made sense to you, congrats lol, cos my brain is like half dead and I have PT later arghhh. we're going ophir in august on my birthday! 1st birthday away from singapore lol, gonna miss n'day celebrations awww. haha big deal -.- ok yall write soon kays :)

- lou :)

2006-06-20T23:43:00.000-07:00

i am temperamental,
like a heart without a home

helloooo sweethearts i haven't blogged for so long here, so i'll do us all the honour of blogging from all the way across the globe here in vancouver (: okay fine technically it's richmond, but nobody knows where richmond is so everyone just says vancouver since that's the nearest tourist hotspot :D to lou who may not know, richmond's the small town in canada i grew up in when i was a little girl. i'm using the com at my uncle's house now, and yes it's the same house i played with my cousins in and fooled around during house parties in and spilt stuff in and ran up/down the stairs in when i was little [: i miss this place so bad, the last time i came back was two years ago and this time we only get to stay for three full days cos dad came back for business so mom and i just tagged along. it's crazy, really; 40-over hours aka two days of flight time to spend three days here. haha mom was grumbling about the cost of the plane tickets (x i don't know, i was kinda scared to come back cos i knew three days wouldn't be enough. just when you're starting to get used to everything around you again, you hafta take a twenty-hour flight back to hot, humid, noisy singapore :/ singapore has its good points too - it's got more people and more shopping and it's generally, well, louder - but i'm still gonna miss this place when i get back ):

shopping here's so-so, but i get most of my stuff here via presents from relatives, needless to say -grins. my godmom bought me bags :D one's hilfiger and the other one i haven't checked but it's rlly colourful and it's like HUGE. womg womg my cousin got me grey's anatomy season one (((((((: YESSS. now imma ask her for season two, heh. yikes i sound like such an ingrate, haha. daddy finally got me that adidas sling for next year, cos i'm so not lugging a backpack to school anymore. if you carry it too high it'll look damn toot and if you carry it low like i do it'll kill your back if it's too heavy. so after char showed me how her nike sling looks small from the outside but is actually rlly big on the inside, i concluded that appearances are deceiving and imma buy one of those slings myself (: thanks daaaad :DD bought one of those denim 3/4s as well; yes i know it's lian but what the hell eh the cutting was to die for ;D and anyway, now lian is in so who cares -blushes.

erks since twinn blogged about her interim, now i'm obliged to plonk mine here too. you do realise, lou, that i'm only putting this up for you so although sooner or later i intend to copy paste the rest of my entry into my own blog (cos i'm too lazy to blog again about canada haha), i am so NOT putting my results up there. yep so here it is, although i don't have it here with me so it may not be that accurate.

english - A
double math - A
chinese - A
bio - B
chem - A
physics - A+
lit - A+
ss - A

GPA: 3.64.

improvement of 0.04 from last year's endofyear so not bad i guess [: oh oh and speaking of school, did twinn tell you what we're doing for bio pt? i know it's not officially been announced yet but cwl (our bio tchr) told us that it's gonna be filming our own music video. OMG YES FILMING AGAIN; I LOVE FILMING, IT'S ABOUT THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES ME ENTHU ABOUT PROJECTS AND WHATNOT :DD haha anywaay it's on the central dogma of bio - basically dna replication, transcription and translation. i think we're spposed to do a parody of a song by changing the lyrics. the stupid thing is, it's only 2-3 people per group and how on earth do they want us to film music videos with 3 people a group?! then the 2 people groups how? one person film one person act is it? hoho. anyway twinn, erkor & wendy'll prolly wanna do dbsk songs (to lou: that's a korean band we're crazy over; not twinn, but me and several other people) but i have no idea how we're gonna translate so i think we're better off using english songs :X erkor and i alrd brainstormed on the phone pretty much about ideas for scenes and the like, so you can see how freaking enthu we are about this :D YAAAAY, WOOHOO -screams like those crazy grandmas on tv.

ooh look it's midnight already (which makes it about 4pm in singapore), so i better go. see you guys [:

LOVE, C'TWINN.

2006-06-02T19:04:00.000-07:00

dear angel from high above,

did i mention how busy i am? i am sick and tired of tests and pts. i didn't even flinch when i got back my english marks, which was 26/50. [i did react to, however, my lit marks have been moderated to 21/25! whoops joyfully.]

dear angel from high above, it is awfully stifling and stinking of vinegar. it has been three weeks journeying with the chem pt, and its been one hell of a road. literally. the road between the track and the canteen has been artfully decorated by trails of sodium acetate slush from numerous car farts down past 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m.

dear angel from high above, we just had a frightfully delightful literature test yesterday. it was enjoyable as all lit tests are for me. what would i do without literature?

dear angel from high above, i just received one physics individual peetee. now is that good or bad? it smacks of interior design, but its on electrical wiring. at least it is better formatted than the ss pt handout. and it is due on the last day of school. what better way to put it!

dear angel from high above, let me relate to you my schedule. i have english and chinese tests next week, bio, maths and chem SAs on week 8, together with the due RS Report. on week nine there are equally horrifying tests which i cannot remember. on week ten there is a ss stimulus essay which is a mutation of SBQ and SEQ. and so the wheel turns and so the pen runs out of red ink.

dear angel from high above,

I DONT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL. [rants]

finally tioman photos are developed! hooray. i took so many scenery pictures though. o.0 but i love the pictures of melina beach. whee. takes pictures and runs away.

SS PT IS NUTS. collapses dead. i have since spent 2 hours on a page editing and editing. im afraid it is still too politically charged, and really, it has nothing very good to say about m'sia and im sure the singapore one will be as worse o.0

but really! multiculturalism is too...political. and you usually equate political creations with unnecessay. it is just a politically charged natural pheonomenon whether you like it or not. makes face. its gotten too much hype and whatnot, but maybe im just race blind.

today was such a gloopy and glumpy day that i stoned all the way through home, and now stoning in front of the computer. like. @#$%. i swear, my class is unduly loud, no, unnecessarily weird and insane. its got a bit too much on the insane side and whatnot. blah. do i sense apathy - yes.

too much thinking about ss and weird stuff made music lesson a bit funny, because i wasnt concentrating on the piece - fingers just auto play, you know what i mean? its like my fingers will just play and once you stumble its like bamm, start again, and for the rest of the piece fingers get pretty confused with no mind directing them up there. primitive, but true. i can only concentrate in dead silence, or in great willpower, and the slightest distraction will throw me off track, which is funny, but nevermind that. zzzz.

yawns. better get back to the pt.

2006-03-18T22:26:00.000-08:00

I love the sound of you walking away

And I shall commence my long awaited entry :)

So. Hows everyone? School treating you okay?
(well..as okay as it possibly could..)
Holidays good?
What did yall do over your hols? Besides go to Tioman ^^ (n'twinn: are you inspired to be a filed biologist yet? :D)

School's become utter monotony on my side. When is it not ^_- I've got a chem test coming up that I've been TRYING to study for but keep getting distracted from cos it's just plain boring and..excruciating. Urgh. Whatever you do, try not to take chem next year. Trust me :( Unless of course you like chem then jsut ignore me :)
Bio's still devoid of Ecoloy/Physiology/whatever is not molecular, but you can still take H3 bio- Biodiversity at NUS ^^ which I'm SO gonna take of course :D

Okay anyway I shall tell yall about my not so eventful holiday in order to give my entry some content :)
Okay so I had CCA camp from mon-wed. We went to climb this mountain in Malaysia..that's apparently like 1 km tall..which is gigantic by Bukit Timah Hill's standards, but when you consider that My Everest is 8km..well. But it was a 6km climb the path was fairly trecherous. No chance of man-made steps, and at some parts it got so steep that you needed 4 point contact. (ie: you get down on your hands and knees) and we climbed it in all of..12 hours? (go up come down) so it was some pretty slack camp..the other 2 days just slack around and travel to M'sia and back lol. But it was fun nonetheless ^^ and took up my 1st 3 days *grumble*
yall should join ODAC next year ^^ heee.

yeah then after that I just spent thurs, fri, sat slacking around and studying chem and giving up and studying chem and giving up :)

you know I realised I haven't touched my own blog in eternities >.< sighs this is bad.. I'm losing my eloquence. erp. o_O

So how're the lit texts so far? :) take good care of my baobei books k, n'twinn? :D
too bad yall not doing Crucible..it made for a good laugh. Haha.
Are yall on Mcbeth or THT now? Macbeth. Mcbeth.
You know the RJ Humans Programme people are doing THT again la what the..so the RG girls can just slack off while the guys struggle through the profanitites and obscenities. HAHA. er yall must get ctan to show the THT movie. it's..well..halfway through the sex scene she muttered aloud "I shouldn't be showing yall this......" LMAO. It was damn funny.
I miss ol shakespeare *dramatic sob* Are yall at the "unsex me here!" part yet? LOL. My friend
wouldn't let us forget that particular quote the entire year we were doing Mcbeth..oh and we had that play/PT thing on McBeth..something about making Mcbeth modern or something. We did "Mcbush". HAHA. those were the days.. *scratches chin nostalgically*

Waoh..okay I'm quite longwinded as usual ;) Okay shall end off here, albeit a little abruptly :P, to go do my bio assignment on what-is-cancer-? Yawn. :D

<3 loads :)

hey folks, happy post v-day and intl friendship day!

its total defence day too. what a bummer,a bit overrated, but still necessary i guess. i rather they did the chemical attack drill which is amusing yet preparatory.

i got so many valentines for v-day! me and friend remarked if we count one token of appreciation as one drop of love, our class was really swimming in overflowing supply. the whole place went mad with sweets, chocolates, biscuits,post-it notes or not going around the class through express delivery, so much that thiock seemed a bit exasperated cause no one was listening to him. HAHA. poor guy. and we gave valentines to thiock and mrs chew ^^ haha. and we are still feasting on remainders of our valentines in class today :P goodies ^^

lolx. in lieu of total defence day, and in conjuction with it they had to blackout the whole place and deprive the place of light and fans, but they forgot to switch off the air-con, which still works. HOWEVER, if you switch on the air con you would have to close the windows and doors, and even though its cool, you would go blind. otherwise, you dont go so blind, and you get stuffed inside a rather stuffy classroom. i figure it was stuffy because of too much body heat floating and transfering around, so everyone was behaving like qian jin xiao jie and fanning themselves with paper fans. ROFL. and then halfway towards the end of maths class they switched on the electricity again, so, well, it was a nice suprise, but so much for RESILLENCE. o.0

and aww shucks, i cant find my grade 5 theory cert, which means i cant apply for my grade eight practical. as yet. if i find it, i get to apply. DARNABLE. where in the whole house did it get to!!!!!!!!

i am so guai. finishing all the hw. i miss netball :(

2006-02-09T04:37:00.000-08:00

where is your inspiration?

listening to yellowcard songs from their new album now, lights and sounds. nooo lou we don't have sex ed this year remember? i am oh-so-disappointed. but bio totally makes up for it though, oh my we learned so much in bio class today. cos diff groups had to give presentations on contraception and sterilisation, and sharm brought her ~~dad's~~ packet of condoms and their group attempted to demonstrate to us how to put on a condom correctly, but they just ended up showing us what NOT to do :D you know they actually brought bananas to put the condoms on? hilarious la, and they gave away the extra bananas at the end of the lesson.

no luh, bioengineering researchers and whatnot don't do the actual building, they just explore concepts and possibilities. kindof like a think tank (: maybe i'll join a think tank when i grow up, it sounds so fun. does rj have a think tank? eh how many subjects are we allowed to take in rj anyway, how many humans how many sciences and whatever, cos rhea's dad asked me what subjects i'm taking and i didn't know how to answer. i feel so clueless :/

oh my speaking of calculators, i couldn't find my calculator on wed night and i had a standard deviation math ass (aptly named) due like the day before?! so i panicked and rushed to my nxt block friend's house to borrow calculator. but she's in pjc and uses a different calc which i completely did not know how to use! so i spent almost an hour figuring how to calculate variation etc with her calc and even then, whenever i keyed in stuff it disappeared ): AND THEN, when i finally got to the second question i didn't know how to do it, so that was the last straw. i just started crying like shit and gave up doing. roar then the next morning my eyes were swollen cos i cried for so long the night before ):

OOH what other cool ccas does rj have? sounds like gt alot (: i wanna join raffles rock, but the bad thing about being a vocalist is that you must take very, very good care of your voice. like the rg choir people x/ i wanna join archery, but it's so ex! aha see? it's not that i don't want to make commitments, it's that the world seeks to STOP me from making my commitments! i'm not a commitment phobe after all, i'm just err commitment-deprived (x omg i wanna do that too! dining at french restaurants and stuff. can i join jap society too? then can watch anime and eat sushi! remember to tell me how your french society session goes, and your odac too :D

love,c'twinn.

2006-02-07T02:48:00.000-08:00

poofity

ahwell, WE ARE SUFFERING FROM A NEED OF INTERESTING AND ENGAGING TEACHERS. ahem. i mean. none of my classes has so far been very productive AT ALL. rants. esp with c-ow, and jkoh, and new ss replacement and lit so technical and that. i mean, i like my lit tcher, but she's so technical and focused on tests and exams that it drives me nutty. i want aunty yap/sandy leow. mutters.

and we dont have the LIT TRIP THIS YEAR. WAILS.

oh and lou, im trying to go for tioman! GRINS. i think the snorkeling is fun!

and my bday is coming. hints largely at lou. valentine is coming too! i shall send you stm nice. withered roses?

and everyone loves quoting "UNSEX ME!" in lit class. hahahaha. it came up SO MANY times. and im gonna get tired of the phrase "killing Duncan". rofl.he's so irritating.

oh we have this weird trial thing for philo for determinism. its damm fun. the plot would be the suspect has raped a horse (dont ask me WHY. im prosecuting, and its nuts.) and the farmer finds out and the suspect murders the farmer brutally. so we are suppose to point out that the suspect had free will and he did it intentionally. the opposition has to point out that he is determined by his surroundings and that he had no control over his behaviour. and yarh, with this stupid plot, how the world im gonna do this is quite weird. -.-''' okay

tatas,
n'twinn

2006-02-02T06:55:00.000-08:00

_gawd, i'm such a freaking procrastinator

Haha I wasn't scolding you about the lit thing, c'twinn, it's n'twinn :p

YEAH I watched the childbirth video :) damn graphic right? :) ohh wait for CLE lessons on sex ed :D

Bio-inspired engineering? Ok I never knew they did that (butterfly caterpillar thing LOL) ugh but never again in my life am I gonna touch a ROBOT.
Wahhh yall use GCs already?! Hmph..and I thought it was something new. You mean yall all bought one or just use the teacher's one? It's damn bloody cool! LOL, you can do a zillion things with it (calculate turning points, intersects, find asymptotes etc etc etc) just that it's so expensive...
oh good luck with CALCULUS this year yall *evilgrin* differentiation and integration :) which will of course become obsolete once you get a GC...

Eh my friend wanted to start billiards/pool (what's the diff?) too but I think she kinda gave up on the idea lol..i dunno if th school'll allow tho, it's got this..bad connotation thing. I dunno lol. you could try tho :)
wah cool, you can play electric guitar? damn, I'm still looking for someone to teach me guitar (cos I'm too lazy to experiment :p) my classmate got into the Raffles Rock and he's a drummer I think..and another ex-classmate got in as a vocalist. Cool stuff :)

oh er archery sounds fun and all but apparently you have to spend like 300 bucks on a bow or something, but I guess it's ok if you have interest in it :) I've been wanting to take up archery for fun for ages too but things like that always never seem to work out =.=
Contact rugby..i see you have violent tendencies, mel LOL.OH and for the French society, you actually don't even need to take French to join..it's an interest-in-all-things-french club apparently, you just go there and watch movies, and read comics and go dine at French restaurants or something to that effect (that's what I heard anyway) my first session starts tomorrow (I believe we're watching some movie..) so I'll let you know once I know exactly what we'll be doing.

Haha if I had a dollar for every time you said "I wanna watch Brokeback Mountain!" , c'twinn......

but yeah, I already toldja they'd check your ic before you enter! Pfft, see, don't listen to me la :p NC16 won't, but R21 probably will..

Lalala.Damn. I'm such a procrastinator and a NOT PRODUCTIVE person. (that sounds wrong...) been working at my chem and geog project for hours and I'm barely one-quarter way done. *bams head against wall*

alrite.
luv, lou

2006-02-02T04:15:00.000-08:00

&the boys play rock and roll ;

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to you too, lou and n'twinn :D haha why me! -tries my darndest to look innocent. i gt more this year than last year, like 100 plus more, omg joy. ooh i have spoilt, bratty cousins too but they went back to australia on tues alrd, grandparents' place is gonna be boring without them ):

i fell sick in school today! went home early after watching this disgustingly graphic video on childbirth during bio. thanks for bringing my lit ws to my hse, twinn! so sweet of you (: and i bet your class will scream too when you all watch that video. lou, did your teacher show it to you as well? cos it's enough to put you off childbirth forever :/

oh sorry ! i didn't know you're not taking lit anymore mah. i think i wanna take BCML in rj, cos i need maths for medicine probably. i don't think i need econs though. and i wanna take lit cos i love lit, and i don't ever wanna stop taking lit :D you know my chi tutor was teaching me shanghainese today then she said my pronunciation is like pitch-perfect, lol so she thinks it's a waste of my linguistic talent ("tian fen") if i become a doctor. then i realised that no matter what i become, at least one of my "tian fens" will go to waste what. cos if i become a lawyer, all the interest i have for bio will be wasted. and if i'm a doctor, lit doesn't exactly come in useful in hospitals :/ unless you're writing reports, but that's probably stretching it a bit far.

OH NO you mean you can't escape physics even if you don't take it? horrors. whatever la, i like chem (: and i'm definitely taking bio - firstly for the medicine thing, and secondly because I LIKE BIOCHEMISTRY :D at least i think i do, cos bioengineering sounds fascinating in mags, heh. i think bio-inspired engineering is so intriguing ! like building a robot based on a butterfly, or an army tank based on a caterpillar and stuff. the us researchers have really got it going for them, all they do is sit in a lab all day, collect funding, and tinker with this kind of stuff. (: eh and our teacher alrd let us start learning to use the gc you knw! we use it to check our graphs :D

OMG RJ HAS ROCK BAND CCA -throws all thoughts of starting billiards out the window. i shall start practising guitar again, then can go audition! or maybe i'll join archery, i've been bugging my dad to let me learn archery since sec one la. oh man now i kinda regret quitting french, cos i can't join french society ): i might go try out for touch rugby too! it's damn cool, but i prefer contact rugby, it's less skill and more determination, hoho XD

haha, sec 4 life is going okay i guess. i've only had one stress breakdown so far and it only lasted two lesson blocks (one of them was pe, which i ponned). i wanna watch brokeback mountain! but my sneak-in scheme might not work anymore, cos they might check your ic right outside the individual theatres ): ohwell, wenting has the vcd so can borrow from her :D

love, mel the c'twinn :D

2006-02-01T04:21:00.000-08:00

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!
:)

so, how was your CNY? I know yall probably got a lot more money than I did *looks pointedly at c'twinn* hmph. I played quite a bit of bridge and won like 4 mahjong games in a row on the last night but that's about it. Nothing that exciting for me, besides having to entertain spoilt, bratty cousins. LOL.
What about yall?

*Anyway.

Thanks mel, for rubbing it in that I'm not taking lit anymore. I'm already miserable enough as it is =(
sorry for not posting here sooner..been busy. cheMYSTERY is driving me crazy. So much homework they gave us =.= stupid chem. Department.

Okay so I shall update yall on J1/Year 5 life. ('s no fun being the guinea pigs =( hopefully yall will have it better next year..) My subject combi's Bio, Chem, Math, Geog (BCMG- most common combis: BCME/PCME, E standing for Economic/Econs) I didn't take Econs cos I'm not really into those business-y economical stuff..i didn't take physics for obvious reasons (ie: I hate it) and I chose geog over lit because I thought it'd be more related to what I want to pursue later on. I don't really regret it because the geog syllabus is looking good – it's actually the only subject I look forward to now =( sadness.

Why? Because for bio, they took out any remnants of ecology/biodiversity/study of anything you can see with the naked eye, and replaced them all with molecular studies. The result is...a very chemistry based bio. BIOCHEMISTRY. (eg: bio molecules, DNA, anything you can't see with the naked eye) so my advice is: if you're looking for animal/plant physiology study, it's not biology.
Not in Singapore anyway =.=
Chemistry: the 1st chapter was MOLES. And the next just happens to be atomic structure, which sounds easy enough, but lo and behold, they somehow managed to find a link between electron shells and quantum physics. I have no idea how I'm gonna survive the next 2 years of chem..
As for math, nothing much to say about it because my feelings towards math have always fluctuated somewhere between animosity and acceptance of my failure in it anyway so everything's back to normal :) [I'm still envious that you got mrs chew, n'twinn!]

oh but something new to us all for math: the introduction of The Graphic Calculator aka the GC aka The Gaming Console. Because it costs over 100 bucks apiece, and comes with enough memory for you to go to its official website and download games into it. And by games I mean GAMES. Tetris, SuperMario, snake (so I heard) etc. the math lecturer was joking about how she's soon have to edit into the school rules: "GCs are not allowed to be taken out during any other lesson other than Math, and even then, only when the math lecturer asks for it." I wouldn't be surprised though if your batch sees that in your school rules next year at the rate people are playing games with their GCs. :P

Yep. So that's about it for academic life. Lecture-tutorial system is..not that hard to adapt to, I shouldn't think so anyway.
Oh yeah and if you thought you could run away from PTs in JC, you're so wrong. Already I have 1 for chem. And 1 for geog due..soon. both of which I'm attempting to research on right now... ...

Okay what else. CCA. Suffice to say that you'll be pretty much spoilt for choice. The variety's definitely larger than rg I believe. Quite cool CCAs they have :) there's a rock and a jazz band CCA; societies for Japanese, French and all the sciences; i heard today that my friend's starting a hiphop dance club or summat; there're things like hockey, floorball, archery, touch rugby, which you'll get lots of people signing up and trying out because they're 'new' sports. Oh and another CCA that's very popular is 'Recreational Badminton' which I think is quite a joke..:p it's something like you go there once a week to play badminton for fun for a few hours. Quite a cool idea, I guess, but... o_O I'm sorta in ODAC btw, and French Society :)

Yep. Ok that's all I have to say for now, if I say too much now then I won't have anything to write for other entries, right? :D How Sec 4 life so far? Hope yall are coping well :)

Cheers, Lou.

2006-01-23T05:20:00.000-08:00

welcome to heaven!

grins happily. yay its up already thank you twinn you did such a nice job. XD

my scrape is sick ( i fell down again yesterday. remind me to go for carnivals in full body armour) its leaking pus as usual and hurts like shit. BLARH.

how's rjc? haha.

twinn

2006-01-23T03:44:00.000-08:00

i'm lovin' angels instead

twinn&specky !
finally, our angel-mortal blog is up! tadaaah :D note my html handiwork and impeccable taste on blogskins, hoho. still trying to figure out how to remove the spaces between lines, although hopefully by the time you see this it'll already be gone and you won't know what i'm talking about (: anyway, this is a test-run entry on which i shall declare my undying love for BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN! okay fine, it's more of an undying wish to see it, but ohwell.

oooh specky, i have no idea if twinn's alrd told you, but my lit teacher this year is miss sandy leow! haha she rocks luh, half our lessons are spent rolling around on the floor laughing. and she has this delightfully hilarious way of dramatising things and using wide, dramatic gestures to emphasise her point. let me give you an example of how quotable she is.

ms leow: i always like to say, lit students like to play with words like toddlers like to play with lego. lego, mind you, not LEGOLAS. -whips head around while pacing and raises one eyebrow at us.
class: LOL?!
ms leow: (continues) although i'm sure you'd love to play with legolas as well. -throws back head and cackles. i'm serious, she cackles.
class: -explodes with laughter.

OMG she is so funny la. and then when she strolled into class one fine day after cwl left this bio drawing of the glomerulus as a scribbly thing and the loop of henle on the whiteboard, ending in another scribbly thing (please try to imagine what this looks like, ~~because it looks horribly wrong~~), miss leow took one look at the board and went "oh my, is this what i think it is?!" HAHA then of course the class burst out laughing hysterically, and then she looked at us and went "AHA, but you don't know what i THINK it is, do you? see, this is what it means to be a lit student, it's all about hidden meanings and learning how to read body language. HAH!" omg she is so cute !

aha, that is quite enough for one entry. i shall give one of you a chance to write next. TATA FOR NOW (:

love, melchong.
