Hey yo, am having GCE A LEVEL examination currently. I know i shouldn't be here but its hard to resist. I wanna type something so that i will feel better.Had my first paper which is H2 Geography Paper 1(Physical Geog) on Monday! Hmm all i wanna say is i have tried my best to write everything on the paper! I think i am on the right track for that paper after sharing with teachers and friends. As for yesterday's Maths paper, i dun think i have any comments as i think the chance of getting A is very high! Yeah wish me luck.However, things weren't that pleasant relative to the 2 papers today! H1 General Paper nearly killed me at about 10+ 11am this morning! Although the passages were comprehensive, the questions were relatively tough i think, especially the short answers! The summary was OK, best of all! Vocab was Ok too. But AQ, i couldn't relate to Singapore's context regarding 'work' and 'play'. Examples given were relatively vague i guess with superficial content! Sigh, i guess at that time the argument that i have chosen wasn't that easy to come up with examples on S'pore! Sigh! Paper 1 was average! The questions were tough to answer but at least there were a few that i can do! I guess my stand is the right stand. BUT, my question is hard to balance! Not sure whether that is even a Balance! But i think i was on the right track for Paper 1, so not so much of an issue!Oh HOW HOW HOW? I really dun wanna fail GP!!! Its so important to me!!! Please, i MUST PASS GP! (I will right?)Next paper, H2 Chemistry Paper 3! Wahahaha!Labels: General Paper=Ambiguous

Hey greetings to my blog viewers. How are u guys? Doing great, ok or bad? Well, u guys definitely are leading better life than me(except those taking As) currently. Time has passed rapidly. Just before u know that there's still time, the day is coming. It's kinda hard to accept it. Currently, every second is like gold to me, so precious and so valuable. I am ready for the battle now.This is the last post before my MAJOR examination, the GCE A LEVEL 2009! All these days after Prelims, i have been doing quite a lot of time trials for all subjects. I seriously think those are effective in conditioning the SRJCians for the A level examination. For most papers, i treated it seriously as though i am taking the actualy A's. In addtion, with the common goal in everyone's mind, every(if not most) people are seriously taking this opportunity to condition themselves. As an ambitious student like me, how would I allow this opporunity to fly?However, my weakness is the inability to be discipline enough to stop using the computer. Every single day, without fail, i will use the computer from 8plus till 10 plus! I felt uneasy without touching the keyboard and chat with friends on msn. But i guess from tomorrow onwards, this will no happen. I will be online 3 times per week and for a short while! And i mean it!29 more days will be my major exam, which concerns my life! 1.5 years in SRJC all boils down to this paper! I would say i have no regrets taking this route. So far i stand a fighting chance to get into a local uni. Hence, this 4 weeks will be all the warm up(EFFECTIVE) before the battle begins on the 9Nov till 23rd Nov. I just got to stay focus this 4 weeks and give in my best shot! I wouldn't want to regret after taking the As.3 days ago, the sudden and strong urge to do well strucked me! I was incentivised by the ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT! My hair was standing throughout the last 20 minutes when the Econs tutors played a video that showed all the tutor's wishes! I was really very very touched by their thoughts and my eyes were watery then. With the song "No boundary" being played, the entire ambience turned out to be a touching session. I am so going to fulfil their wish, which is to get an A for Economics! I have the faith now, and i will get that A! Most importantly, i wouldn't wanna waste Mrs Ting's 2 years of effort, and of course my own effort!General Paper, Mathemtics, Chemistry, Economics and Geography, are my FREINDS NOW! I inspire to be their best friend so that the A is much more achieveable! Haha! I hope so!Well, i shall end here. I just feel incredible that time is really flying! I can recall very clearly how hopeful i was in getting into a JC. And here i am blogging about my A levels. It's just incredible. Since i have promised myself and my tuition teacher in getting into a local uni, i will work hard for it! That's about it, thanks for viewing! =) Wish me luck =)! Good luck to all my friends taking A levels too! And others a good life and a meaningful life! See ya =)Labels: Ready for the battle

Hey,here to release some burden, or should i say some uncomfort in my heart. It is pretty disturbing when i keep it to myself. Well, this definitely has impacted me i guess quite significantly! Guess what is it?
Don't need to guess, its quite obvious, its my results for PRELIM 2009! Well, for subjects like CHEM AND MATHS, i have no issues. I am surprise that my GP has improved, from a U to an S grade. I just need that little more perseverance and i should be able to pass. Well, i have received my H2 Geograohy paper. It was really bad. I expected an S grade for Geog paper, mantaining the standard that i had for Mid Years. Things didn't go my way. I got a U grade. 38% overall. Such sucky result indicates little effort put in and lack of cotent and quality answer. I really work kinda hard for physical geog, went for consultation with Ms Teo and practise Prelim questions! Unfortunately, i did not improve but instead deteriorated! Sigh! I am seriously kinda down right now! I have tried to pass Geog but i just couldn't make it. I just don't have the talent in doing Geog! No matter what format i approach, there shows no improvement! ='( Seriously disheartening!
Those questions that i expect to do well didn't perform at all! I can get like 2/12 for DRQ! How can ppl score so low for DRQ? WHile those that i think i wouldn't be able to do well, i pass that question. Its seriously terrible after seeing that disheartening result! Sigh! All thanks to poor language ability that caused my HUMAN GEOG to be that LOW and the weak expression of points in my paper!
Tomorrow I may receive my Econs Paper 1! I doubt i will do well for that paper cos by comparing paper 1 and paper 2, i felt more confortable and confident with paper 2. And i didn't do well for paper 2! So Paper 1 i can forget about getting good marks.
Hmm, i just don't like the feeling of not able to move or reach for better results! It dampens my morale to a large extent! But what is done cannot be undone. I can only endure and stay positive(if i can and i will try) before the big thing comes! I will NOT make those silly mistakes again! I need to challenge MYSELF!
Ok, i feel much better now. Just hope to have the momentum again and CHIONG all the way till A levels! I hope i have the luck!

Shall do a quick update. Sorry for not blogging cos i am mugging hard for Prelims. This entry will not have pictures as i have problems uploading them. Will do so when it is possible.Hmm, days have been hectic as usual but i kinda use to it. 7am-Go to sch and come home at about 7-8pm. Before sunrise and after sunset. But the routine is nothing to me now.Every other SRJCians are doing the same, study study and study! And this is why i really have no time to blog, not even once per month! Anyway, i am doing kinda ok in school. I hope i can make it to university with the constant effort put in since last year. Hope! Anyway, i enjoyed my life even though its kinda stressful as i will try my way to relax myself as and when i can.This week and next week is Preliminary examination for me! Had some papers and generally it was OK! My aim is to just do better than Mid Year exam! Yeah, ok i shall start blogging what i have experienced for the past few weeks.Thanks Giving concert on 7th August was a success. Teachers really put in lots of effort in preparation of the concert. Although its not very long, the effort that they've put in is more than enough. Ovation to them. Thanks teachers. Oh in total i think i have donated about 20 plus to the school and my parents $30! Hmm, i even gave them Vietnam Dong that i have left over on my Vietnam trip. Went to have Mac with Yong, JiaRen and Jack after concert. Nice day indeed!(Pictures)Have WIll RUN2009 on August 1 2009. his year i ran extra 1 more round as compared to last year. This year i managed to run 13km within 1.5hr while last year i only run 11km. Not bad for extra 2km! My legs are really in pain after the run. Had a good shower after the run when i reach home. Slept for 1 hour before i prepare myself to meet my friends to celebrate Rups's Birthday! Had Japanese food at The Central! Jas gave Rups a surprise by making herself present while she claimed that she had something important on. Left for BRO's birthday party at 9pm at LOOF(beside Bras Brasa Mac)! That place is really great, looks nice! He celebrated his 21st at LOOF with his friends and family members. And i believe he will never forget. After the celebration, went to meet Rups and friends again! Went to this ESKIBAR where temperature is -0.8 degree celsius! So cold but the feeling was nice! VERY TIRING DAY INDEED!(pictures)18 July is the day that I first step into a club. Doublr O became my virgin club from then on. Initially i thought clubbing is an intricate activity with lots of uncertainty. However i was wrong. So long as u go in bigger groups, its really ok. I enjoyed myself to the fullest! I have never dance so much in my life! And i was really very high that day, all thanks to Jas who instructed her friend to constantly force me to drink. I was like so tipsy den, but not drunk. Overall, i had an enjoyable day celebrating Jas's birthday and oso treat that as a time to get away from all those content heavy notes!(Pictures)Had a Band farewell party organised by the JC1s. I really wanna say a big THANK YOU to them as they have really put in a lot of effort in preparing this farewell. Its really not like last year where all the JC2s only had pizza hut. They organised a CHALET! Sadly we need to study very hard for Prelims and so we didn't stay! Stayed till 1.30am with Miss Ong and How Leong! Thanks Miss Ong for sending me home! Had a great time with other JC2s and the JC1s!I love the notebook that they've given me as a gift! Message inside the book is so touching! And the book is really useful! Hereby wishing them all the best for Promos! =)(Pictures)
Basically that is about it. Having a good time? I should say half half! Dun wish to stress myself that much. I should say i plan my schedule to suit myself! Yeah, so will visit blogger like soon! =) All e best ppl! Labels: Prelims 2009

Hello once again. Just posting some photos taken last friday! Went to secondary school event which is held once every 2 year, Asthetics Night. Held every single time at Singapore Poly Conventional Centre, Asthetics Night showcases all Performing Art Groups' talent in the specific group, be it band, choir or dance. Or if u have any talent in Singing or hip hop dancing etc, u are most welcome to perform. I guess that was one of their best experience they had in the sec school life last friday. Here to thank them for their hard work that made this performance a resounding success.
Ok, end of this post. Drank a little only! Dad fetch me home! Yeah.. Looking forward for the next meeting up session!Labels: 2 years have passed

Hello people, back to blogging once again. Just started school this week and i could say its a pretty short week as i do not have lessons on friday due to school college day rehearsal. Yesterday was my school 20th College Day! All JC2 students have to report to school for this annual event. Initially i was apathetic towards this event but was inspired by many distinguished speaker who made me think a lot. Also, they gave us many HOPE so to speak. Overall, the college day is beneficial to me. 
After college day, went for dinner with most of my classmates to celebrate Cheryl's Birthday. We have already surprised her in the morning at her house. Haha. It was really a surprise to her.
The night at the vicinity of Bugis for steamboat is really awesome. Its heartwarming while celebrating Cheryl's birthday!
After steamboat session, some went home while the rest went to Arab street for some drinking session. They ordered 'Shisha'(spelling) and i tried it, together with Whisky as our drink. I saw my friends(sec sch) trying it and i am curious to try for quite sometime. Finally i managed to try it and its actually nothing special but the feeling of smoke is blown out from my mouth is good, I mean those 'shisha' smoke NOT cigarette smoke. This will be the 1st and probably last time trying shisha as the taste dun really suits me. Went home at about 12.20am.
Went to watch Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen after the MOE survey conducted on Friday. It was AWESOME! I like the action from the start all the way till the end. I may wanna purchase the DVD when it is released. Love it! Went to Toa Payoh library to study after movie.
Thursday, went for NS check-up with How Leong and Jack. Both of them got PES D due to some health issues. As for me, i have got PES B. Oh and the IQ test drives me crazy. As a slow thinker and learner, doing the test asap is not my forte. Sigh. The day is really tiring and we felt hungry after the check up, so i brought them to Alexanda for AVOCADO drink! The best in Singapore i think! Had Char Siew rice as dinner! So SHIOK! Its ok Jack's treat, awesome!(The sky is dropping). Went to IKEA and Queensway shopping centre to stroll around. AFter decided to share cab with How Leong, we went to take a cab at about 8plus. END
Random picture now! Taken on Wednesday at Plaza Sing foodcourt after searching what to buy for Cheryl's present. Its our class NIKE water bottle!
This is just the few of our bottles. There are more and should be more colourful! Will take one with everyone's bottle!
School reopen made me feel a sense of urgency. Its like 40+ days to my PRELIMS! SO fast!!!!! Just gotten my results. GP-U(as usual, no matter how hard i work for GP its still the same), H1 Maths-B, H2 CHemistry-C, H2 Economics-D and H2 Geography-S. Geog i improve quite a lot but still not enough! Its a good start but i will continue to work harder for geog, but also more for GP! Others i will keep up the pace and should be ok. Overall 52 points for this MYE, not too bad but i will work even harder for PRELIMS!
Now, lessons are shorten and i can go home by 3-4pm. Due to some extra optional lessons, i will have to stay back till 6 or 7pm sometimes. I guess i will have to start my revision plan like REALLY SOON! 43 more days to PRELIMS!! SIGH!!!
Ok, shall stop here. Will update on every weekend if possible! Chaos

Hello poeple, I am back.. Literally back from Vietnam! Yeah, went to Ho Chi Minh City last thursday for a short break away from my school work! The place is really bad once i stepped into the city! Motorcycles are all around without any road divider and vehicles can move in all direction.. No law, no rule and hence no fine when 1 go against the rule that Spore has. The roads are really scary in a sense that the vehicles will not stop for u. In addition, they always horn at each other, which made me more scary! Crossing the road hence is the worst experience i had in Vietnam!
However, I had a great time touring their attractions.. Pictures are available at FACEBOOK! Sorry not uploading here as it will take very long to upload. Yup, anyway, its fun after a few days at HCM free and easy tour together with the day tour programme! Really enjoy it!
This picture is authentically taken from my phone, the narrow but busy street! This place is in the vicinity of my Hotel tour agency! The people there are really poor, some beggars around, people selling things that are super low price can surprisingly survive till very old! Such poor conditions strucks me thinking in the bus. I finally realise how fortunate we are in Singapore! The trip also gives me addition information that could be essential for Geog(Physcial+Human) and GP! Overall, night time is the best when we have our sumptuous meal at the restaurant and sightseeing and shopping! Haha!
Ok, shall end here.. Although Econs Common Test states that Vietnam is growing very rapidly nowadays, i can't see a big difference there.. Very surprise! However, i hope Vietnam can continue to grow and i hope to visit there again in future where more technology and development is made! I think it will as the Internet states! Anyway, yeah thats all! Hope u enjoy pictures in facebook! Till den, Chaos
