Pelham PC 123

Friday 12/06/09

Went to the PC Show yesterday at 2+. Met Mervin and Jerald for lunch at Marina before that. Had Yoshi. Jerald was at the show since 1 with his dad. Then we took a look at all the flyers that Jerald had collected while we ate.

Met Andre, Bing and Chin Yan at 2.45 at the Convention centre. Me, Mervin and Jerald were looking for Laptops, Andre was looking for MP3s...So we kinda split up. Me Mervin Jerald went around the whole show, collecting laptop brochures and finding out more about some of the laptops. Jerald was interested in getting a Macbook. Then we met up with Andre, Bing and Chin yan at 6+, sat down for awhile and as usual did stupid stuff like steal andre's slippers and stuff...

Andre

Jerald with his KEWL look.

Mervin reviewing the brochures

Bing Hui complaining his legs were tired

Chin Yan...ok i don't know what to say here

We were there till like 6pm then we left with a narrower choice of laptops, after taking a look at all of them. Had dinner with Jerald at Thai Express and then went up the esplanade roof to take some picures (wasn't my idea!) Then we went down to the foyer area and listened to a local live performance by this Indie/ Rock N' Roll band. Not bad at all. Then Jerald started drifting into the Grad Night stuff and how he wants our band to play. lol. After that went home.

Saturday 13/6/09

Went to school at 9am. Solo wanted me to go school to study with him. But yet again he was late as usual >.> he came only at 10.30? Jack and Cheng En also came. Was half productive only. Played soccer in class and Solo played DotA in class again. lol. Adam came later and played more soccer.

Then we me and Adam left at 1.30pm to meet Mervin for a movie. Watched Pelham 123, although me and adam didn't mind watching Drage Me To Hell was it? But Mervin chickened out. Haha so ended up watching Pelham 123 which was not bad, very thrilling and ALOT of F WORDS. lol like at least 1000. Then followed Mervin to the PC SHOW to meet his parents and get his laptop. In the end after much thought, Mervin got this Gateway PC that had good specs.
Then Mervin's parents treated us to Jack's Place! Yummy...lol Adam couldn't finish his food so i had extra takings :D.

I love the Gateway box, damn COwOL

Mervin's Gateway...to happiness

Cam whoring...it's a disease

So in the end, Jerald actually got a Macbook! Adam got his Vaio and Mervin got his Gateway. And for me, well, i have to wait till my parents come back from China. But by then the PC SHOW over. Haiz but my mum still said she will get me one...fingers crossed**.

Dangerously Sweet

I got Rock Band Unplugged today. It's awesome!! They have Mr.Brightside!! and The Middle!! Go get it!

Went to school today again. Met Josiah and we walked to A601, then Shawn Chin and Solo popped up from behind the pillar to scare us. And Chin kept on zapping me...>.> Was moderately productive lah. Did integration and some maxima & minima stuff. Solo was distracted with DotA the whole time, playing it on the com. Mervin came around 12+ and then Jack, Andre, Kyaw Min came. Cheng En was came today too. Lol.

Then went out for lunch at 2. Bought back chicken rice and bubble tea to eat, met Ben and Bart in the hall doing Ben's coursework thingys... saw Chia and the twins playing frisbee in the hall taking a break from breathing in wood and saw dust. haha.

PC Show tomorrow? Hmmm....

Control The Clock

Time is running out. Really fast. Have to attain maximum efficiency from my study periods. Must get more productive, less distractive!!! It all boils down to now. This is the only time left to revise whatever topics i'm weak in. Gotta do it!

성공!

Skipalong

So tired of feeling blue. So shake it off and make my way to somewhere different. And I'm gonna skipalong, quite merrily and revel in whatever's going on.

Knock Knock

"Knock Knock
When life had locked me out, I turned to you
so open the door.
You’re all I need right now its true.
Nothin' works like you."

Today was nothing interesting except for the little soccer friendly between 4SA and 4SB. I played like shit. It was freaking hot. Like a desert. Had chinese lesson in the lab in the morning. Haha played DotA for the 1st time in almost 2 years. Then had maths in our "newly airconditioned" class. Then went for lunch, had lunch with Mr. Lam, Bryan, Jerald and JK. Lol. Mr Lam treated us to drinks. Not bad eh.

Going to school tomorrow to study and revise. Anyone joining me in class?

My mind is confused now. Split two ways, and having feelings for someone i never really expected. Or maybe it's that kinda thing that disappears within a few days. I hope it is. But it has been on my mind ever since. Haiz...

We Will Not Grow Old

"Oh, we've got a long, long way to go

To get there We'll get there But oh,
if there's one thing that we know
It's that we will not grow old"

Lenka's music is so peaceful. It's has that very "stress removing" touch to it. I don't know what i'm saying. Yesterday had chem lesson in the morning, brought my bass to school to pass to Russell. Along with the amplifier.
Then we made another spontaneous decision to go jam for an hour. Jamming without a good drummer really sucks, which was what happened yesterday when we jammed without Jerald. It was like shit. Hehe.
After jamming, Adam, Russell, Matthew left. I followed Mervin to TPI to get collect his spectacles. Then i went off for chem tuition.

shadows of actions, actions of shadows

Met Mervin at TPI again later at 6.30pm. Took the circle line for the first time!! wheee...Bishan interchange is so huge, the concourse looks like an airport terminal. Circled down to Lorong Chuan to Eddy's Birthday. Had a BBQ there, then went up to his house for a movie until 11.30pm. Then most of us left stinking of bbq,

Today was kinda slack. Had chinese tuition in the morning. Watched Cinderella Man episode 12. Damn sad again. But some funny parts like the last part where Jaemin got owned. haha. (not that you guys know what i'm talking about). I did some planning for the weeks ahead, made revision lists, got a file from popular and Sims 3!!! WOOHOOO.

On a totally different note, i saw a shop called "DongDaeMun" on the bus. It has the same name as a shop in Cinderella Man!! Ok...>.>. But wth. It's the shop in the middle, with the korean words on it. cool eh?



And yep, my blogskin is done (done as in found one nice one, done as in i didnt make it myself)

Don't Let The Days Roll By

We have come to the end of the week. Sort of. One more lesson on Monday before the real self revision and mugging begins. And we have just lost one precious week. I think. I have yet to formulate some kind of plan...die!!. I should formulate one over the weekend.

Today was kinda fun. Had Chinese i the morning where she did oral practice and Yau had to read out the entire passage. Then went to Maths until 4.30pm with breaks in between. Mr Ng let us watch this local production called "Kallang Roar" which i thought was quite hilarious, although you could see the "ammateur-ishness" or the movie.

Russell trying to get into the shade...
Playing soccer/rugby/frisbee after lunch at 1.

Played soccer for quite a long time. Almost 1 and a half hours. wow. Was quite an interesting game and funny too. Crazy people doing crazy things. Bing Hui showcasing his soccerness skills haha. Then we had Pizza!!! I think there was enough for everyone. I had 5 slices. Watched a friendly rugby game between the C' Div and some American club. And also watched the sunset with Mervin, Bart, Adam.

from back to front: Russell, Mervin,Adam, Matthew (the 2/3 of FP.)

the somewhat nice sunset...

Apparently Mr Ng didn't need us helpers for tonights session so Adam and Bart followed me, after much persuasion, to go buy Sims 3. BUT!!! Can you believe that Toa Payoh Interchange doesn't have a freaking store that sells PC GAMES???? OMG. So we went to coffeebean and went back to school at about 8.45pm. I left after that for my aunt's house.

Bart and Adam on the bus, going to TPI

I still can't believe the first week flew by so fast. Like *snap!* and it just flew by. I'm should be going to sleep now. Got chem tmr. Sigh.

Just Enjoy The Show

Today was quite boring. Except for a few classroom antics in Chem class, Yau prank calling Calvin, pretending to be from China, Yau taking "unglam" pics of people in class. Didn't do much. Played soccer after school with Mervin, Adam, Mr. Ng, Arvind, Josiah, Bing Hui, Nin, Yau, Andre, Zul, Matthew. No night lessons today. So went to meet my mum at Parkway to help her by a present for my Aunt. Went to buy Sims 3 but it was out of stock! AHHH! Went home after that for dinner.

Ahh i feel like poning going chinese tomorrow morning sia. Sian already. Do listening compre test and i freaking failed. Even JK PASSED. Oh well.

Adam showed me this song. Lenka - The Show. Been searching for this song for so long!!! Heard it on the radio and on an advertisement before, i think it was Old Navy ad on tv. LOVE IT!!!! Sounds like Lily Allen and Feist.




10/10 WOHOHOHOHOHOHO OMGWTFBBQ. MERVIN LUCKY BASTARD.

Bernoulli's Principle. OMG WTF! BBQ?

"as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by that fluid decreases"

Bernoulli's law of pressure differential. Cool eh. Mr. Ng brought this thing up during the night class when he was doing abit of Physics. He held to pieces of paper vertically in the air, side by side, so that there was a gap between the 2 papers. He blew into the gap and the papers bended inwards. How? He was explaining but neither of us understood his explanation. Not even BART! Ooo.

Lol, went back home after, and Adam was researching into it too. Found out it was Bertoulli's Principle. Needed help understanding it, so he asked me to read it.

Bertoulli's principle applies to all fluids (air, liquids). Basically, the law of conversation of energy, helps simplify the entire principle. As a fluid travels faster, it's kinetic energy increases, which leaves less Potential energy within it to exert a pressure.

Thus, "as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by that fluid decreases"

Yay! Understooded! :O

More classes tomorrow, but can wake up a little later. And no night lessons tomorrow too. Can slack abit. Take a rest.

So today we went to jam between 5-7pm. Played Starlight again, not bad, made some progress. But we can't jam till next monday again cause Jerald's going to malacca. Have fun!!!

Some pictures from today....

Look who's more MAN. Wohohoho.

Night Class....

Mr Ng venturing into PHYSICS.

Ok. I really have to go off now. Must go watch episode 11 of Cinderella Man on soshified.com.

And Away We Go Into The Night.

More night classes all the way to 9pm. Actually I volunteered to help out with the night classes. It's fun in a way, hanging out until pass 8+. But i seriously think the night classes are not much help. Cause alot of the guys are kinda distracted easily. oh well.

Freaking freaking tired now. My eyes are half closed, or half open. Depends on how you see it :D. Haha. Had classes from 8am-1.30pm. Broke for lunch and class started again at 2.30-5pm. Then played soccer till like 6.30. Had dinner and came back for class at 7pm to 9pm.

Tomorrow have to go school at 745. SIANNNNNNNNZZZZZZ, and then the whole 8am-9pm process starts again .Wohoho.

I told myself, i would slack for the first 3 days of the June holidays. But somehow i'm getting that strange feeling that i should start working my ass off. I haven't even formulated a plan for revision yet...DIEEE! I think i'm gonna go ahead with the slack for 3 days plan. I want to get Sims 3, which came out today. Can't wait to go jam again another day. Russell should be buying my bass. GREAT...finally can offload it to someone useful. lol. Wonder how idiotic i will look carrying a bass to school to pass it to him.

I still have to figure out a good pic that represents me to pass to Ben. Hmmm... any ideas? I've got none.

Some photos from today and a few days ago...

Josiah and gang jogging. lol

and away they go

No idea who took this, but there's adam sick again. haha.

No idea what mervin was doing, or who took this photo.

And again, no idea what's happening.

Clayton at the salon, after we had our haircut the friday before chinese O's

Our Hopes and Expectationssss.....

So 2 weeks of mass chinese mugging from afternoon to night everyday culminated today. O Levels! So paper 1 was moderate la. For my standard i think can pass :D. Paper 2 was a little easy at first but got a bit tricky. Tuition teacher came over at 10+ to check out my answers for paper 2. Can get estimated about 39/70. Which is good enough for me. I just hope the bell curve don't kill me.

After the Chinese paper, went to macs for lunch with Russell, Mervin, Adam, Jerald and Matthew. Spent quite awhile there talking cock. Then passed 3 free Mcdonalds glasses to Adam. Lol. Then went to jam opposite school but it wasnt open on mondays. So we went to go LAN for awhile at Paradiz, met Solo, Edwin Andre and a few others. Played abit of CS and L4D. Then went to jam at another studio at the building next to it called POMO? yeah. POMO. till 6+.

Played Starlight which was not bad. Russell did well on the bass (sadly, i think it needs some effects...which is very EXXX!!!!). Mervin did not too bad on the lead guitar, considering that he learnt it on the spot. I did rhythm, thought it was so-so. Adam did the keys, which was good? I cant really tell the diff with so i think its good. Jerald was spasming on the drums, yeah starlight drums is really hard. Like left leg hi-hat, right leg bass, right hand low tom, left hand snare. Wohhohoh. he was sweating like a retard after that. Singing was fun, but really straining. Like really weird? haha need to do better falsettos on the "holdddd.......you in my arrmms" part. Gotta work harder on it FP.!! Oh and i love singing falsetto on Supermassive Blackhole. God its nice. haha. .

After jamming, Adam and Jerald left, Bryan wong and Solo joined Me, Mervin and Matthew for a Terminator. Which i thought was a shitty show. Solo was complaining how noisy the helicopter was in the show. >_>"".

So back to school tomorrow. Till 9pm! woots. Yeah, helping out with the night classes. Gonna be fun. I think. School again from tomorrow till next Monday. Also need to start planning my revision. Going for short holiday to Malaysia in the 3rd week i think. Hmmm not too sure.

Anyway i should be off to sleep now. NIGHTS!

(sigh) relieved to get chinese somewhat over and done with. (yeah there's still ORAL and LC). OMG!...

Oh ya, searching for a new blogskin now. hmmm.

No Regrets.

It's going to be one of those sleepless nights. I'm gonna have the nerves and not gonna be able to sleep tonight. Darn. Must sleep early. I hope i can. Get this over and done with. Pass it for my sake and (ok that didn't make sense) and to the other subjects!

No regrets. Nope. None.

End of Term feels strange.

For the first time, end of term felt strange. Like something I never experienced before. Instead of a "yay 1 month of immortality" it's like "oh great. 3 days to O's and 4 day's to mug all day long". Sigh. Whatever happen to the go out and really have fun on the last day of term? I guess it's all in good time.

We got our results slip back that day. Mr Ng was kinda lecturing again. I got 8th in level, highest ever. Wheee! Cause for celebration? Haha we'll see. Anyways to those who didn't do very well, 加油！ 성공!!! Just concentrate and focus and it shouldn't too hard. I still need to work to my 6pts target, kinda a long way to go still so let's not get complacent.

After that went to cut hair with Jerald and Clayton. Then went to N&B drink soya bean. Then went to Macs for lunch. Although i was the only one who ate...lol. Solo got a free glass from some random dude. Then went to TP with Adam and Mervin to do some stuff...lol. Then went coffee bean and talk cock and then went home. Slept. Woke up with abit of a cold. :(. Recovering now...or at least i think i am.

Tomorrow, wake up mug chinese. Or wait more like later today. Chiong chinese till about 6? then slack until 10. Sleep and hope for the best. I just want a pass. Then i can screw it already!

성공!!!

Fighting!

성공!

Lost.

I just had to blog this down. I needed to resort out some stuff. I couldn't keep it inside. I just couldn't. I wish i could tell someone but i don't really know who would understand me. I sound pretty emotional right now. Maybe i really am. I'm just lost. If you think its because of Chinese O's. Then you are right.

After studying Chinese for the whole day today, i just started to panic again about Chinese. I'm just nervous. But it's more than just nervous. Failing this would mean I might have to drop to B to save myself. Or take a risk and hope i pass in Nov. If i fail, i won't be able to go JC. That thought keeps lingering in my head. to the point of me breaking down. Like seriously.

I know i shouldn't be thinking of failing. Yeah, actually i shouldn't. I should concentrate on passing, which seems oh so difficult to focus on. Why? Why did i not take an interest in Chinese before? Why? Why only now? and it's already too late.

I'm seriously bummed out about this, and i just wish i could tell someone. But who? I mean, yeah call me emotional but did i just feel a tear roll down my cheeks? yeah i think i just did.

I know i need to work something out. I just cant imagine the sight of me not passing.

I can only concentrate now on working on my paper 1 for the next 9 days and just hope that it pays off. I just want a pass. It cant be that hard can it? I'm sure it isn't. I know i can do it. I know i can. I just gotta work things out carefully right now. And hopefully some motivation might help me. God...i just wish i could talk to someone who could relate to me.

Screw all those negative thoughts. (*slaps self for thinking of failing*) I can pass. I know i can. I CAN. YES I CAN! YES YES YES YES! I just gotta work harder now (not that i haven't already). I gotta focus on what i want to improve the most now. Which is getting my "baozhangbaodao" right. And if there's time, my comprehension.

I KNOW I CAN.

Chinese. Wohoho :)

O Level Chinese is in 10 days. 10. I just working as hard as i can now to get things straightened out so i can scrape a pass or better. I HAVE TO PASS. Nothing lower than a C6. I hope i can do it. No wait. I CAN DO IT.

Results don't matter do they?; 21st Century Breakdown; Photo Roll 3

21st Century Breakdown is EPIC. Wahahaha. You have to listen to it.
So we are getting our results back tomorrow. I have a bad feeling about it. But a good wake up call for me. The papers were tough. Some of them. But even if i screw this up, i think its better to now than during the O's. So must be positive and take it in good stride.

So the whole band got together for the first time! :D After the last paper. Russell(bass) , Adam(keyboards), Matthew(lead vocals), Mervin(lead guitar), Jerald(drums) and me(rhythm guitar). Haha it was fun, played a mix of songs, Russell can run bass which is good cuz i couldn't. We jammed again yesterday, then went Solo's birthday.

A few accidents happened. My phone, Shaunneh's phone and Solo's phone all fell into the pool. I was like totally effed up. 2nd time it happened to my phone. Only that the 1st it wasnt chlorine water, it was erm... nvm. haha. Fortunately managed to salvage mine under a hairdryer and a fan. Shaunneh's phone came round the next day. No idea about solo's phone. :( haha.

Chinese O's are 2 weeks from now. Hardcore chinese now. I just trying to scrape a pass. But lets try aiming for a b4? haha. They say it is better to aim for the stars and hit the moon, than to aim for the trees,and hit the ground. So let's do that. Harcore Chinese!! !WAHAHAHAHA. i hope. hehe. Wish me luck. and to all those who suck at your MT, good luck! Jia You!

Jerald gaying Barney

Can you see 2 stars? (clockwise from bottom centre) Jerald, Russell, Adam, Mervin, Me

Jerald getting a haircut. Look at his eyes. They are fixed on bio notes. Nerd. Wahaha.

Clayton sporting a new haircut. LOL.

Random Photo Roll 2

SNSD.

yeah. I have no idea what to name this post. Oh wells.
So i had enough studying today, did a mixture of subjects.
For some reason there's not enough time to study ALL the topics for mid years.
So you do what they call (or what i call) "Selective Revision".
I guess whatever it is, we are still aiming for the O's not the Mid years.
By calculation (when i mean calculation i mean argaration) I should have more than enough time to revise PROPERLY for O's if i start after the Chinese Papers.

(*Fingers Crossed*)
That the O Lvl chinese paper will be nowhere near as hard as the mid year paper we had the other day. That was a KILLER paper. I hope i can scrape a C6 for Chinese. Hah after the Mid years i'm going full CHINESE. MUST PASS!!! Or i don't know what i do. Like seriously. I probably drop to B if i get less than a D7.

Anyways, really stress now anyways. But SNSD fever keeping the stress from making me full go retarded. SNSD ftw! ahahaha...Hope can go South Korea one day. Because who cants to go to the North? Ok lame joke.

Ok so why am i posting you ask. Didnt I say that i wasnt going to anymore? haha. Because someone asked me too and i had some time.

I don't think this fulfils the criteria of being a Ch8 Drama.
I'd have to make stories up if i wanted it to be. hehe.
haha I should watch Chinese show everyday after the mid years. MUST! lol.

Kk enough for now lah. I think i shall post some pictures up from my phone another time. Just to keep this place alive.

Thats all for now.
