My School!!!

My own small little domo. I know it isnt as big as yours JY! haha.

Today our english teacher made us spell the word floccinaucinihilipilification. the longest non technical word in the english dictionary, which means "the act of describing something as worthless, or making something to be worthless by deprecation" and yes, it's a noun. hehehe

One Way Forward?

SAJC Open House was gay. as in like crap! Well i guess might be because we went super late. But we met up with some friends. but either way it wasn't really meant for us, more for the sec 4s last year. So we should be there next year.

Sec 1 orientation camp. planning it is really really tiring and stressful!! ahh! haha. and homework still havent pile up yet. Still quite manageable. Soccer gonna take up alot of time in the next 2 months. Till start of mid march? i think thats when the season ends. then i am free to study and go mug like a dog.

I'm really afraid i cant manage my time come feb. Season starts on 2nd feb. 2 games a week, 2 trainings a week. If there's a game prolly have to pon class which is not good. should i continue? I don't know what to do.

really. this is sec 4. It's o levels year. It's one shot. I don't want to blow it. Or am i over reacting? I have no idea what to do.

Any ideas? I'd take all.

It's A Date!

YEAH! woohoo! i just bought my Jason Mraz tickets! Me and bryan wong, 145 bucks, 9th row, left side. OMG! When i went on to purchase online, some of the $100 categories sold out already! and some 145 ones too! So sad! well at least singapore likes Mr. A-Z!

Just came back from planning the Sec 1 Orientation in school! we watched 4Bia to find out which part to scare them with. Then we did the nightwalk dry run at like 8pm, ended at 9.30++ so i'm home now. zzz damn tired ler. so till next time!

Price: 145, 100, 85, 75.
I'm so getting the 145 bucks one. so must SAVE SAVE SAVE!!!

Tickets go on sale at Sistic on the 12th Jan.
WOO HOO!

JC More Like it.

Today was kinda a funny day haha. We had PE in the morning and played Dog and Bone rugby and Solomon fractured his foot cause Matthew landed on his foot. haha. Sad. Then we didn't realize it was so bad that we carried him to the side and continued playing. Turned out to be quite serious. During recess me Russell mervin carried him to the General Office. So it turned out to be a fracture at 3 different areas. Shit haha. But should be out of cast in like 2months.

We went to Ngee Ann Poly open house today. Forced by school to go. but i didn't want to go at first cause i felt that when you go Poly, you narrow your career choices. And i'm still undecided what i want to do next time. So it was quite a waste of time. We just got the free goodies haha. Not that great even.

The past few days.

Met up with Jue Ying on the 7th to pass her her belated christmas present and have lunch. Bought her a Domo. I thought it was cute. Haha glad she likes it!

Been planning the nightwalk for the sec 1 camp till late, like 1 am ++. hope it actually runs well.

I guess that's all for now.

Mraz. 5th March.

Jason Mraz is coming to Singapore. After missing one concert, i;m definitely not going to miss this for the world. I like to call myself his biggest fan :P. haha. 5th March! Woohoo! Can't wait.
I should start saving now. If the ticket price is 150+ that means saving up 15 bucks a week for 8 weeks and dig into my CNY money. mmmwhahahaha.

On a different note, I bought Jack & Rai's album In Stores Now! I think that they are prolly one of Singapore's best local acts by far. Good luck with them in the music industry and hopefully break international soon. Although a point to note is that Rai's vocals need more training. His voice still runs shallow.

The Falala Song is Awesome!!! haha.

The Fa La La Song - Jack & Rai

And So It Begins

the new year brings many changes. This year is no different. Change is imminent, in fact there has never been so much change. This year will be fast. so fast before i know it it's the big O's.
We got our timetable today. It's pretty gay. We end at 3.30 on all the days except Friday.
I guess it's all in good time.

I think i shall go on to the resolutions for this year! haha.

1. Complete HW the day it's suppose to be completed!
2. Don't be lazy and push the work.
3. Save more money and spend less.
4. cut my going outs. haha. to like once every 2-3 weeks
5. Only play XBOX on parties and special occasions.
6. TURN OFF THE COMPUTER when DOING WORK!

There you go, my resolutions for this year. for now.
And now my goals academically:

1. 7-2 points for O's
2. Make it to VJC or at least have the choice.
3. Make my chem at least an A2 by Mid Year
   
4. Physics an A1 by Mid year
5. English an A1 by Mid Year.
6. Pass Chinese.
   

Three...Two...One...One! Happy New Year!

December 31st will officially be one second longer than a normal day. A whole second! When will it end? The keepers of the national atomic clock just announced that they will be adding on an additional leap second to the last day of the year. Maybe it's just an excuse to keep their New Year's parties going as long as possible.

The atomic clock at the Naval Observatory in Washington DC is the official time keeper of the country. It works by measuring the frequency of microwave radiation emitted by the element cesium-133. This is the gold standard for clock accuracy (the cesium standard really) the whole country bases its measure of time off of it. The trouble is it's more accurate than the planet's rotation itself!

The revolving Earth is a pretty good time keeper, but because of the laws of motion, it isn't perfect. The planet is little by little slowing down, so every now and again the time keepers have to add a second to the atomic clock to keep everything synced. Starting in 1972 they've included a leap second every few years or so, most recently in 2005.

One second of variation may not seem like a lot, but to sensitive measurements for GPS systems and the like, it can make a world of difference.

Even though the official clock needs tweaking from time to time, it's hands down the most accurate way to see how much longer until The Tonight Show. Hundreds of systems sync up with the official time (likely your cell phone for one) and it may be possible one day to buy your very own atomic timepiece. Experts have been working on miniaturizing the massive atomic clock in the Naval Observatory to a system that could fit on your wrist. Of course, it may be years before Rolex has its own Cesium line, but the implications are tremendous. Atomic-age accuracy for cooking a three-minute egg is just the beginning.

2008. Another Year Has Passed

Another year has passed. 2008 is history. It has been a very interesting year for me. Learnt alot of things about others and myself, accomplished certain things that i considered significant. I made lots of new friends and also strengthened a lot of relationships.
I really hope that the friendships i have made this year will last till the very end. You guys know who you are. I love all of you guys! You guys are the best friends anyone could have!
Enough said, i think 2008 was a great year for me and i hope 2009 will bring much much more!
So here's to a great and wonderful year ahead! 2009 HERE I COME!

Christmas Day

I did something different for once this Christmas. Instead of hanging out with my family which i do every time, decided to go out with my friends. First off, i went to watch twilight with my cousin and bros at the Cathay. The movie was good except for the fact that they cut alot from the book which is usually the case when movies are based on books.

After that met up with Adam, Andre, Solomon and Matthew at Orchard. It was freaking crowded and a bad idea to go there. We went walking around looking for presents for our gift xchange for the class bbq on the 29th. In the end after walking around aimlessly and shoving our way through the crowd, and it did not help when people stop on the streets to snap photos., we decided to head down to Marina Square at 7.30 cuz orchard was not a source for presents at our tight budget. In the end me and Adam decided to buy some presents together and give them out together. I cant say what we bought! it's a secret! haha. Then we had dinner and parted around 9.30pm.

Merry Christmas to all! and to all a good night! Next up. New years'. oh wait homework first.

Las Vegas.

Well here's the story.
I fell sick. i think i had food poisoning. from some Chinese restaurant in The Venetian.
It lasted for 2/3 of the side trip to Vegas. It sucked and ruined the whole experience for me.
Well at least it only came after the trip to the Grand Canyons. haha. the photos are in reverse order i think. haha.

Yeah! I got my hands on gambling chips from the MGM Grand! haha

you walk out of the airplane in Vegas and it's slot machines immediately. Now isn't that crazy.

We took a chopper down to the canyons!

zong he at the canyons

me next to a cactus. haha.

Canyon spastic photo.

Zong he at Canyons.

me posing spastic again! haha. I have to stop doing that!

We took a plane down to the helicopter place.

this was the plane. small huh. it's noisy too.

This where we stayed. We got the cheapest rooms. I mean cheap. like dirt cheap.

Leaving vegas. I didnt enjoy it much. haha

Here's something to take away. Don't go to Vegas to you are 21 and can experience everything.
