Feeling very bored....

everythimg's starting to get boring...

now i feel like going to school itagain....

it's just wierd...
when you have school...you hope the hols come soon so it's not so busy...
when the hols come you want to have school as it's so boring....

at least now i have something to do...my programming...

HOLIDAYS!!

School Ended!!!!

Now I feel so bored at home.......
Nothing much to do.....

About all the stuff i missed out....

EOYA day 3 was sandcastle building....
Not very fun I should say......
We made pathetic sandcastles under the rain and "attempted" to "sell" them.....
I got cut too......but very minor lah....stupid mould broke....

I got back results too!!!
I got straight A1s!!!!!
Please don't be jealous....i'm not the only one...
there are several in my class.....

Today went back to HPPS to talk to P6s about transition to sec 1....
It turned out to be more of a "reunion" than a talk......
It was pretty fun meeting up with some old guys and chatting and gossiping and telling horror stories about teachers and stuff.....
Too bad we couldn't "terrorise" the P6s.......or tell horror stories.....
Just "scaring" them would do......

I'm still in the midst of choosing my CCA....
it's been long....and i've been thinking....
My band teacher gave me a choice of staying until end of competition so as not to waste the double bass skills I acquired and the competition ends in April then i can make formal transfer....
Not a bad idea.....but i'm still considering cos i'm not sure whether I can cope cos before the competition could be up to 5 or even 6 times a week.....with all my projects and all....can I cope??

EOYA day 2

First cleaned the classroom this morning then went national library to tour....

then had CIP for 1.5 hrs and slacked in class for sometime....

very boring day today........

EOYA day 1...

watched movie today morning......

then go discovery centre which wasn't really VERY interesting either...

then played cards....

and i don't see what's the use of reporting these stuff in life anymore when my life is so boring these few days....

anyway...
the more interesting stuff seems to be the CIP event i did for 3.5 hrs...
i was transporting stuff....a lot of stuff....
and i need 4 hrs so i need to do more tomorrow....

haiz....my posts are getting shorter and shorter....
maybe i'll do the quiz on mich's blog....

Festival of arts day 2

Today was slightly better than yesterday...

Watched a movie called "take the lead" where this french-spanish guy teaches some detention people how to dance.....

after that went for recess....

guess what we played???
no prizes for guessing....murderer.....

after that went national museum of singapore....(at least i think it was)....

in the bus everyone was like spamming finger games....handphone games.....PSPs...etc...

after that went to the museum....
the guide was quite cool...(it was electronic)...
it's like when you see a number on the floor or near an artefact or sth...you press the number then the guide will tell you about the exhibit.....it's so cool....
there's even a number for the rest area....

after that some of us tried to spam other numbers on the guide to see whether there were other stuff....

we managed to find a number that makes "help" appear on the screen....
we were like pretending to be mutes and pointing to the screen helplessly...lol....

after that went back to school and played.....murderer ... dai dee and bridge....

the CIP event is postponed to tomorrow as the estate office was closed today.....
hopefully the estate offie stays open tomorrow.....

Festival of arts day 1

today's art trail was kinda like a failure....

we were supposed to start from a place and walk from one place to another learning about how to appreciate art...

but when we reached S.A.M (singapore arts museum) it started to rain....and rain...and rain...
and it didn't stop....

so we stayed there and visited the place for a few hours before returning back to sch....
wasn't a very fun art trail though since we only managed to visit one place....

after we came back....guess what....
we played murderer.......

and bridge and dai dee.....

tomorrow have to go for CIP activity to top up the rest of the 4 CIP hrs i need.....
i'll be cleaning the school.......

FOSH day 3

another wierd day whose post was supposed to be yesterday.....

started off with the usual morning assembly....
then went for a talk on pe/cca and about preventing sports injuries....
I think the part of the cca seems very much related to me.....
"if you don't like your cca, request for change...don't miss the practices just because you don't like it..."
"you are what you pursue..."
hrmmpphh....
this'll set me thinking.....
after the talk we watched the final sec 1 inter-consortium soccer match....
half-way throught the match....we were quite bored already....
there was this JC guy i think running around the track...
suddenly...darryl decided to run behind him for one round then ming kit got this idea of "tag-team" so one by one we ran behind him until he stopped...lol...
when the teachers came...mr rong also went running for warm ups then i think a group of 10 classmates from his form class (including me) chased after him by running behind him.....
he saw then he started to sprint and we sprinted after him until he stopped after 3 rounds....
iSpark managed to win all 3 matches against the consortiums but lost against the teachers.....
we didn't managed to get too many good awards at the prize presentation but well...we still have next year...

after that was band prac.....
i finally knew why i didn't get that reply....it's the wrong e-mail address since my teacher changed her e-mail address....
that gives me more time to decide anyway....
after band prac....
a senior talked to me and persuaded me to stay in band...
i found his reasons quite valid.....
i'll need some time to consider it.....
i'm really stuck between the two ccas now with both wanting me....
I will have to make a decision sooner or later....
i need some cool down time to think.....
added on by this nose which has been killing me for a month already.....
i just have too much stuff now.....

iSpark Nite ' 08

This was supposed to be posted last night but i was too tired after coming back from iSpark Nite '08...

Yesterday morning was the usual......
After that couldn't find anyone I know....probably all somewhere else playing murderer or hide and seek or something so I went to watch the soccer match...
iSpark vs ProEd and Aphelion vs Ortus
iSpark won and I shall not say which one else won.....

After spending about 1 hr of my life watching soccer matches....
managed to find the rest of 1M in the table-tennis room being thrashed....
Anyway...some played dai dee....murderer.....UNO....etc...
I joined the hide and seek game.....
Sadly....my nose was leaking AGAIN and I decided to make a run for it to the toilet and somehow was caught by chun shin and darryl on the way......
I tried to run but it's not easy escaping from two people running after you and I died when the two starting running in opposite directions (towards me of course)....

After that about 17 of us played went to kah kee hall to play murderer.....
Some were at cameron highlands on wednesday so they didn't know the code but we started without explaining since it was about 15 min away from assembly time....
Some funny think happened though....

Dian Yi: (winked at Benny)
Benny : "I'm dead"
Colin: "Dian Yi...Caught!"
Dian Yi: (flipped his card)

IT WAS GREEN!!!!!
(Green is civilian by the way)...

So it was like....damn funny....

after that went home with wei heng....
played badminton for about 1-2 hrs then it started to RAIN!!!!
Went back and played com games instead....
then changed and went to mrt station to go back to hci for iSpark Nite...
Then....wei heng left his wallet AT HOME.....
My mom had to drive from my house to the mrt station to pass the wallet to him...
Then went to the bus interchange and MISSED THE BUS which was JUST LEAVING....
It was already 5......

Obviously reached there late.......
Saw some people eating already....
Wei heng literally "GORGED".....
He took an amount which could fill one of the plates at the buffet....
Saw something interesting on edmund's shirt though.....
Front: "Want to know how to keep stupid people busy?(See back of shirt)"
Back: "Want to know how to keep stupid people busy?(See front of shirt)"
LOL......

Then went for the performances which was much...much...MUCH...more entertaining (not to mention funny...)
Started with the announcing of the new iExco....
Previous chairman had a very wierd way of announcing the new iExco....
New chairman was made to do an impromptu speech......

After that were the performances....
1N performance was like...
Zhong Xuan stepped out...
Stood there looking innocently...
Stood there for 15-20 mins stepping forward and backward occasionally...
Emcee: "Due to some technical problems we shall push the 1N performance to later...."
Then Zhong Xuan had to go back....
We all clapped thinking it was some sort of dance....
We called it "shocking"......lol...

After that 10 sang the council song about a cow or something...
Our class started becoming enthu and waved our hands and the teachers were looking at us....
Then some sec 4s did a variety of performances like dancing and singing...
Then 1N finally got to do their hip-hop dance although there were still a lot of technical glitches like repeating the song making them redo the whole dance and not getting the songs right making Jay stand there for quite some time....

After that was the chairman's group giving some funny performance about the "iSheet" claiming it was the "latest technology"..... when it was just a piece of paper....

After that were the Sec 4 video montages and there was one which was quite funny about some tricks.....similar to the ones we took for ourselves....

I shall end here for today cos i'm too stressed out over some stuff.....

FOSH day 1

Today marks the first day of FOSH (Festival of sports and health) with Dr Hon hitting the gong...
Only managed to hear a bit of it on my way back to the band room.....
Ahhhh band.....
I have to go for band prac this friday if i don't get that reply soon....haiz...
can't believe i've been thinking about that so much....

Nvm...let's talk about the good stuff instead...

Learnt to play squash today...
Sadly out of the 19 ppl only knew one.....wei jian...
Squash is quite fun except for the eye mask u have to wear to protect ur eye...
It has this velcro thing at the forehead and it's the ROUGH part....it hurts....
One wierd thing happened tho...
I hit a squash ball against one of the lights by accident and a coconut fell from it.....
Firstly, how can a ball cause a coconut to drop?? (the ball is the size of a ping-pong ball)
Secondly, how did the coconut get up there????(the court IS enclosed)
LOL?????!!!!!!

The thing ended at 0930 then we slacked till 1200......
Those who didn't join anything slacked for 4 hrs straight.....
We played murderer (AGAIN!!!)...hide and seek...some other wierd stuff...
Another wierd thing happened....
About 4 stuff broke due to a soccer ball and some boy (shall not mention)....
or was it two???

Anyway....
one window pane...
two lights...
and one lamp-post shattered when some boys kicked the soccer ball.....
Someone broke 3 things in 8 hrs.......
Then the discipline master came....i wonder what happened.....

We were dismissed at 1230.....quite early actually....
tmr got iSpark nite till late nite.....2130 i think....

And i just found out...
my band teacher was in cameron highlands on the retreat...
so I just have to wait and hope for a good reply and by tmr so I can skip fri band prac....
(at the same time hope she or any other band members for that matter read this...)

Another long day...

Today was "normal" lessons from 0800-1200 but no teacher came to our class from 0840-1120....

Our teachers were either at beijing or cameron highlands but no relief teacher came......

So we ended up playing murderer for 2-3 hrs with 2 detectives...4 murderers... 8 civilians....

No teacher came until 1120 when the lit teacher came and went through some shakespeare stuff
and the creative arts programme....

After a mere 10-15 min we were supposed to go to LT4 for a briefing (a few actually)...

ok not a few...several....

I think we had like 10 briefings or something about all the progammes like CAP...OM...HSSRP...SMP...etc...

I think practically nobody was paying attention at all after the first few briefings....

After that played table tennis wif some friends like wei jian...xin de...colin...bo geng...etc...

I guess we got addicted to it after a while then played till late afternoon...
I left at 4+...I dunno abt the rest....I think a lot later....they do it every day....

and I still haven't got a reply from my band teacher....she must be away at beijing or cameron highlands or something......
hope she replies soon....band prac resumes this friday....
haiz....

The good thing is....next 3 days is FOSH and I'm playing squash!!!
Hope I get to learn it well....

ACE and OP

Today's morning supposed to start out with eng lesson but I think our eng teacher was away at cameron highlands for a retreat so a chinese teacher came in to let us watch movies....



It turned out that the movie was quite boring....



So someone fast forwarded it when the teacher was away and when she came back it was the credits and she thought the movie had finished.....it was supposed to be abt 2 hrs but it lasted like 30 min.......



Then the teacher let us did what we wanted so a grp of us chatted, a grp played PSP and another played checkers....

I was chatting...



After a while we managed to get onto the topic of card games then someone suggested to play "murderer"...

Some game where you wink at people to kill them....

We started with crumpled pieces of fullscap which didn't really work as we could tell the difference by how they are crumpled so someone had brought UNO cards so we used that instead....



Then after a while the whole class joined in and we had 2 detectives, 4 murderers and 10+ civilians....



During recess we played the actual uno itself....



Then Dr hon...during assembly...talked about reducing ACE down to 10% which i disagree...

ACE is to encourage independent learning and I think that those who are weaker in the subject can do their own independent learning to get better results......

Some people tried to voice out their views but I think Dr Hon had already made up his mind...

He also almost tried to reduce the OP percentage which I disagree to too.....



After that was the special sharing session my DC (replaced by ADC)...

He was talking about the china milk crisis and what we can learn from it.....

After that watched some few min videos made by pixar which were somehow funny but cute....



tomorrow's going to be a long boring day just like this one...

and my band teacher hasn't replied.....*sob*...

Haiz....I guess I just have to wait for all this torture to end......

Change of EP3

I finally sent that letter......

Took me quite some time to think of what to put in the letter tho....

Now I just need to wait for two agreements...
one to let me go...
one to le me in....

I doubt that I would be able to get the reply so soon so probably have to spent several more assemblies standing in the field doing nothing.....

I'm so free that it feels wierd not to have school for so long....
Been spending time in the library acquiring some knowledge...
Now starting to read about PHP and MySQL....
Heard that some of my friends had learnt in EC3 when I wasn't there so decided to do some self-reading instead...

Tomorrow start of school again....haiz......

Results part 3

Finally...last paper......

Literature still did ok.....

I thot I would suck.....but suprisingly i got 72%....A2!!!

got 18/25 for all three essays......top was yiming with 76%!

Most likely EOY results can get 1.sth or even 1.00 (no, i shldn't set too high a target....)

Anyway...today went for acupuncture to fix my nose which has been going for A MONTH!!!

Acupuncture isn't that scary.....they just put the needle thru...
you feel an insect bite....
Then they push it in then there's no feeling anymore....
Although it feels wierd to see 4 needles protruding from my nose without feeling anything....
I was stuck there for 15-30 min i think....i didn't take note of the time...
i just lay there and dreamt......

hope my nose can cure soon.......

still got another two weeks of school then hols start.....
haiz....band starting soon too if i don't write that letter.....

Results part 2

Sorry for that sudden state of chaos, went a bit crazy there...

Anyway, now know all my results except lit...

Lit i hv to go there from 12pm - 1pm....

I have to stay at home all morning...go to sch for 1hr or less and come back.......

Results:

Geography 87%
Top: ME!!!!

History 76%
Top: Gary (ask him urself for the actual marks or he may kill me)

Chinese 68% (worst subject so far....)
Top: not sure either...
Should still be able to get A1 at last....SHOULD....

Just left lit and I need 50/75 to get A1 in end of year....


haiz...chinese got so bad cos I went OUT OF POINT for compo.....
First time doing that...got 17/35 for content.........

At least my situational saved me......16/20

My main paper still okay....teacher gave me another 6 MARKS for wrong marking.....
Geography managed to get another 2%
History spent time on SBQ and SEQ the night before so did well in open-ended, got 4/10 for MCQ tho......

nvm...I've quite happy wif my results...

Haiz, still got 2 weeks of school.....CCA also dunno when start....
I should try to get myself to write that letter but i CAN'T...
Ah well, i'll just have to try....for my own sake.....

Working!!!

Finally got my blog to work.....

Forget abt the new blog, it'll be gone soon anywayz........

New blog

Please visit new blog although i'm too pissed to do any blogging for the next few days......................... It was supposed to be a test blog and the layout WORKS!!!!! I may just wanna use that blog.....
the name is lame, just bear with it...

http://william6364again.blogspot.com

Abandoned

I've decided to abandon this blog unless someone can help me.....

Damn pissed now....

Need to redo the whole blog...

CAN SOMEONE HELP!!!!

AHHHHH!!!!

Something happened to my blog!!!
I can't change the layout!!!!
I only have a template tab!!!!
They ask me to upgrade but there is no upgrade button!!!
AHHH!!!!!!
Someone HELP!!!!

Results part 1

Got my english results today...

I dare say I did quite well actually

20/30 for continuous writing (wrote a little out of point...)
21/30 for situational writing
19/28 for comprehension questions
11/12 for summary (suprisingly got full content mark and 3/4 language marks)
15/20 for compre cloze+grammar cloze+editing

total = 86/120 = 72% (rounded off)

Not bad for an eng noob like me

so my final year mark should be (not including one assignment yet):

(48+65+70)/3/4 + 15 ACE + 10 OP + 72/2 = 76.25%!!!!!! A1!!!!

Now just awaiting other results, quite confident except for lit and chi, hope i can score well for these two.....

I should also seriously start pondering over CCA matters...

Now there is this IT competition that ec3 wants to take part in but only teams of 6 and i'm not in...

I not saying I should join the comp more than others but I just want to tell myself to START ON MY LETTER SOON!!! (which i still dunno how to start...)

Ah well.....

Anyway, the good thing is that school ends on 24 Oct!!!!!!
Bad things: I probably still have to go for band if I don't START ON THAT LETTER and I dun have many good friends.......I shall not share why....

Title 2

Today marks the end of the FINAL paper (wich i didn't take)

And ALL the results r going to b out tomorrow and thursday....

I shld seriously start writing an e-mail to my band teacher to quit....but i just dunno how to start???

I dunno what to write either???

Haiz.....anywayz, good luck for results!!!
(and for those who hvnt started, good luck for EOY!!!)

END OF THE EVIL EOYS!!!!

Haiz, today chi paper 2 seemed liked the hardest out of the 7 but everyone else say it's chicken feet.....

Anyway,...

the last of the EOYs are GONE!!!
There's no sch for me tmr EITHER!!!
I believe EVERYONE's celebrating
Had much fun today hanging out with bwh and co.

All results are going to come out this week but i don't worry about that too much....
What I fear is the band pracs coming......
The morning flag raising....
The late practices...
The busy life....
Again...

Anyway, I'm going to start a poll for my cca...to see how many true friends I have...
Please vote honestly...

I think I'm going to change blogskin too, it's getting a bit boring...

Anyway, what's important is that...NO MORE EOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost the end...

2 days ago was math and lit paper....
Came at 7am to revise lit with some other guys and to niao the 7 math exam takers in the class....

Then revised literature till 11....it started to go crazy when a number of guys joined us during te 9-10 am period...

Overheard that the mainstream lit syllabus were much easier...
Instead of unseen poem, they know the poem coming out and practically the questions....

Short story and novels I can't compare anyway...
ours was flowers for algernon and animal farm...
mainstream had lamb to the slaughter and village by the sea...

Literature test was still okay.....
Couldn't really understand the essay question though:
"Do you think that a real friend is one who walks in when the world walks out?Discuss with specific evidence from the short story."
I think i misunderstood it, nvm, what's over is over anyway...

Yesterday was english paper 2 and history paper...
I can't believe I slept on thu afternoon cos I was reading history...guess I wasn't that interested...

Anyway, the english paper was somehow quite easy, easier compared to the ones our english teacher normally give...

Then 0945-1045 was everybody's chionging time....all revising history, shooting rapid fire questions at each other, pecking at others with questions, asking someone to test.....
I can't describe it all but one word says it...."chaos"..LOL!

History was like so-so, at least the stuff I came out I managed to revise during the "chaos" timeslot...
Suprisingly, the section I am most worried about is MCQ cos they asked for specific details, which I suck and will probably fail the MCQ...

That was another hard paper gone....

Today's IMO test was HHHAARRDD!!!!!

There were 4 questions and 3 hrs, dun think that 3 hrs is very long....
The teacher said if we could finish before 3 hrs can hand up and leave...
I think only one guy did.....
I only managed to solve 2......in 3 HOURS!!!

I'll give an example to show the difficulty...
Warning:
MTG (math teacher guidance), unsuitable for those who go screaming and hiding in corners after looking at super-hard math questions...
(Given any positive integer d, prove that at least one of 2d-1, 5d-1, 13d-1 is not a square) seems easy but i didn't solve it in time.....

Take home test could only solve qns 2-8, qn 1 i didn't manage to solve, neither did some of my friends...
Looked at the answer at almost wanted to smack myself in the face.....

Almost forgot one more exam....my keyboard grade 5 practical....
I think I had a post on this already...
My result was......94%!!!
Too happy to be true...
And my teacher expected higher cos I made a few stupid mistakes....

So now left one more paper.....Chinese paper 2.....
Not much use preparing for it anywayz, except for maybe the cheng yu...

Good news: ALMOST FREEDOM, LESS THAN 2 DAYS!!!
Bad news: Need to go back for band soon.....
I think I need to get my band teacher's approval ASAP so that maybe I can quit b4 the practising starts (I hv actually 4gotten most of band cos been focusing on exams too much) and so that I can go for ec3 instead....I miss going to ec3.....
Band I've been going in the morning till last week.......
Ec3 teacher had already approved of me, now the hard part is to convince my band teacher to release me ASAP altho I think she may be a little reluctant cos I'm the only one playing my instru.....

Can't think abt that now, next week is the checking of papers where I'll know my results.......WISH ME LUCK!!! (And all of you too)
