Today is a bad bad bad day. Reason is that I had so called a great time debating with my Engineering Mathematics teacher, Mr. Wong. Not only me, but the whole class debate with him. It is all due to a simple mathematics question. It is not something hard yet something that almost all Additional Mathematics secondary school students had done before. Let me show you what the question was.
A box with a square base has no top. If 64 cm(squ) of material is used, what is the maximum possible volume for the box?
How would you think the question is like? You are given the box and just find the answer? Or you are given a square paper and needed to fold into a box with square base? A simple person would think that you are given the box and all you need to do is to find the answer. However, such CLEVER person like Mr. Wong does not think so. He thinks that you are given one square paper and you need to find the maximum area.
So the people sitting on the left hand side started to debate with him, which includes me! After he finishes debating, the people on the left could not stand him. So we just forget about it. After which, when he gave the answer, the people on the right started debating for the got the same answer as us. They are a little slower than us. However, he still stands by his point. So we have no choice but to stand by his point.
Yesterday, I get to know that actually, Chia Yu is studying the same course as me, Biomedical Engineering. However, he studies in Temasak Polytechnic and I am studying Ngee Ann Polytechnic. That is so sad. However, I got someone who can share my tough time already. Reason being that he knows what I am going through having to learn all those long and chim words. Though some is so called common sense thing like your body and the blood flow thing, who will remember the actual name like Pituitary? No one of course!
So not looking forward to this coming Friday. Last Friday, I had my Physiological study quiz and to tell you the truth, it is real hopeless. I got 28/41. I pass with such pathetic marks. Not knowing who that stupid idiot is, he told the teacher to give more quiz and thus, this Friday we are going to have another quiz! That is so sick! However, it can help me study for the common test on next Wednesday.
Tomorrow, I am going to have 4 hours of practical. That is so sick and tiring. The most tiring time is the last 2 hours. I am going to have to do drilling and soldering. Going to drill many holes on my soldering board. Our soldering project is not like some other simple soldering where the teacher just give you the board and just solder. For us, we have to go through the process of printing the circuits onto the soldering board, drilling every hold that we need to solder, cut the wire that we are using to solder and many many more things. Just drilling alone, you really going to have a cockeyes staring at it. Tiring it will be.
I have to go get my beauty sleep. Yawning non-stop. Good night!
Hey, having Maths lesson now and I need not do because I already finish the part I need to do. So sick, I totally forgot about the Maths quiz that I am having today. So no choice but to do it from what I remembered. It is quite easy because it is on differentiation which I did before.
Today is one sad day. In the morning, when I was messaging, daddy went to buy breakfast for me. The cup of milo just topples and spilled on my legs. It is so painful and I almost cried. Just then, daddy started to reprimand me for being blur and careless. I do not know that the cup is going to spill on me. Daddy started scolding and of course, I started crying. Just then, daddy sent me home and changes out. My leg is painful and there is two patch of red mark, one on my left leg and the other on right leg. I used cold water to wash the milo off and ouch! I was still crying then. Not due to the pain but due to that daddy scolding me. My tap is not that strong and usually gets loose. I just wasted $1.50 for my breakfast and $1.40 for daddy’s breakfast. Reason being that daddy did not even eat half of the bao and I did not touch the half boiled egg or bread. I just got a bite or so and I went home. I was crying throughout the whole journey. Sorry daddy!
During lesson, I was still sad over it. Not really feeling happy. Reason is that what happen in the morning and of course, what happened between me and Daryl. As for Daryl matter, I shall not say much. After that, I had gotten back my PS test paper. I passed by coincidence. I scored 28/41. The teacher said that there will be another quiz this coming Friday and know what, I really going to fail this topic. I so not want the quiz. I do not want to have quiz!
I just realize that I am having my common test from Monday to Thursday instead of Friday. This is due to that the teacher posted the wrong date. So well, have to chiong for the common test soon before I start getting fail.
Everyone in the class is now doing their MoL where I am just sitting here typing blog. And I just realize that I am a Genius! Because there are a couple of Maths online questions where I do not know the working but I know the answer. Just seeing the options, I would know the answer! Yeah! Maybe that is just too much of self praise and well, I got to off my laptop to rest.
It had been weeks since I last blog. Did anyone miss me? I such great fun last week. All I spent my time on was to either study or study. Bored right? Yes it is, for the whole week, my life was bored and dull. Like my blog, derive of colours! Just plain simple black and white. Last Friday, I was having my PS quiz. It is so hopeless and difficult. I do not know how to do at all. I was so sick and tired of that subject. I spent time studying on it and yet, I do not know how to do. It is so sick and idiot! Let's not talk about that sick test.
On Saturday, Kaitlyn came and as usually, I played and fool around with her. She is just so adorable. On Saturday night, I went out with my whole family, not including my second sister; we went to Xin Fu Ying Cha restaurant to eat. In total, we spent $175. That amount was great right? When I saw the bill, I was shocked. The cost is just too high and if we were to divide equally by the number of people, my mum, dad, eldest sister, her husband, Kaitlyn, my brother and me, it would cost $25 each. That is far too expensive. My mum foot the bill and we left for home. At home, Kaitlyn was still energetic and lively. She started walking up and down the house. She is one real busy person. My sister and her family left home at about 10.30pm.
On Sunday, Kaitlyn came again. She was as clumsy today too. Not knowing why, she is just clumsy and blur at times. She is one fat pig! She is forever asking for food to eat and eat and eat. She would not feel full or what so ever. She is just eating every time. Went to view a flat today and maybe that would be our future house. However, I do not really fancy that flat. Though it is big and quite cozy, it seems like the rooms are limited. If there were to be 2 beds, it would be crampy. So I do not know how.
On Monday, which is today, I spent 2 hours in school for lesson. I left the house late and no choice, I had to take a cab to school. It cost about $7.70. How expensive that was! No choice but who asked me to left the house with out the laptop and have to rush back to take. I told Daryl that I am not waiting for him after school, however, I was and I am now doing so. I was spending my time on the laptop and some tutorials. It is so bored! One more hour before his lesson ends and now, I have to spend it on the table with the laptop. I am hungry but I do not wish to spend money for I already spent an amount on the cab fare! I want to save money for the on coming holiday. I am having my holiday in about one week and 4 day's time. And of course, I am having my common test next week. Do wish me luck. I am having my common test on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. So sick, why is it blank on Wednesday?? How I wish it start soon and end soon, I want to stop! I totally do not really know what is going on in lesson and frankly, I have to work hard!! JIA YOU!!
Was doing nothing and reading some other people’s blog. I came across one blog where he said that he went past old GuangYang Toa Payoh campus. My memories start to wander off. Off to where I once begin in secondary school as one lonely girl.
When I was sec 1, I was in the class 1E1. On the first day of school, in Bishan campus, I was scared and worried. In primary school, I always have my brother to accompany and bring me through. And how, I have to handle it alone. I was scared and did not sleep the night before. I was nervous and in the morning, I cried and did not want to go school. However, I had no choice and was DRAGGED to school that day. My parents took long trouble to DRAGGED me out of the car. However, in sec 1, my life went through quite smoothly. I managed to know many people. And I would never forget that I cried on the first assembly that I had in school. That was the first Tuesday that we had. It is due to that we were doing the class notice board. And my friend, you should know who are u, paid for the cost first. I asked him how much it is and I decided to pay him. Because I think that it is not reasonable that he pay all first. And due to that he is a guy, my primary school friend joked about me and he scolded them. I was hurt and I cried. This was quite a matter that made me know the class. And besides this, there are other problems and matters that make me become well known of crying in class.
Sec 2, my school moved to Toa Payoh campus for renovation. The campus is old and pathetic. The rooftop is low! At that time, my relationship with Siang Long, Chin Swee, Joseph, Wei Jie, Yumei and Pei Ying was close. And of course, there are conflicts within the group, always! Besides, there is this project work called IPW. My group consists of Peggy, Siang Long and Ren Huan. And I remembered that when we are going to gather for the project, if it starts at 1pm, we would tell Ren Huan that it starts at 12pm and yet he is still late and late for about 2 hours!! He would also be the earliest to leave. End up, though our IPW scored quite fairly, it can said that it is all thanks to Ren Huan. He is the joker in the class and his presentation would always bring us laughter.
Sec 3, I managed to get into E1. it is hard and tough to get into that class. So I decided to work hard and try my best. However, in the mid year, we got the news that we are going to merge with Braddell-Westlake. Besides, we are going to move back to New Bishan Campus in the following year mid June. The plan was push back for 6 months due to SARS. I had my teacher, Ms Jenny Lim. She is one fierce one and often give us a good dressing if we do anything wrong. Once, it is fire drill and she was scolding the class. All of us were standing in attention position. No one dare to move or even fidget. When the drill is on, no one move and yet stands in attention position. All of us dare to move until we were told to do so. Scary right? However, all of us were so fast and orderly that though we are one of the last few to get down, we are one of the first few to gather neatly and orderly.
Sec 4, the year for O level and also the year where I do some other important answer. The whole class was doing some important planning for our coming O level. No one dares to relax for a minute or so. When O level ended, all of us were glad and prepare for the chalet the following day. We had our 3 days 2 night chalet the following day. It is fun and interesting. Though we did not do much, we talked a lot. I played those fortune telling games using poker card. It is so nice and fun. All of us had good laugh and joke about each other. However, on the last day, we pop some sparkling drinks and drank it. We had a couple of smaller gathering after that. All of us joke and played for that short one and a half months.
The first 3 months came and everyone went their way. They all started to become busier and work is what they would do. Indeed, we did drift apart compare to the other time. However, they looked forward for a gathering, though it is not all. It is glad to see that they are so enthusiastic about it. It does give one a hearting feeling. How I wish there is really one gathering.
Regardless what we are going to do now, all of us are busy with test and work. Pray hard that a gathering can be held peacefully. Do wish that times together happily are able to be seen once again. Even though our meeting would not bring us much to say, we are born to meet together and have the chance to communicate, so why not?
Hey, thought that I ended my lesson that early? Actually that is not the case! Actually, I have yet to end my lesson for it will end at 5.00pm today! So sick right? So I have no choice but to stay in school and sleep.
Yesterday is the first time I go to school alone. My dad went to Thailand and this means that my brother and I had to go school alone. Yesterday, I reach school about 1 hour earlier. I left house at about 8.30am for a 10.00am lesson. Unexpectedly, I reach school at about 9.00pm. I did not know why. So I spent my time alone in the canteen for there is nobody to accompany me. My dear starts school at 8.00am. So nobody is there to accompany me. That is so sad!
After which was IAC lesson. We had some small group discussion and someone had to present. So Jie Long presented and we did not know how we fare. I believe it is not as good for the teacher had many comments. During break, I went to wait for dear. He ended lesson late and therefore, came late. So while waiting, I saw Jie Ming. And he started chatting with me. While chatting, we saw my dear come. He said that his friend, Darrell is joining us. His friend did not talk much, he was so quiet. And we started talking about some school stuff. Jie Ming gets to understand what I am talking for we are of the same course. Daryl and Darrell are of the same course so they know what each was talking about.
After which, I went for my next lesson and of course, dear accompanied me to my block. Then we bid farewell and I went for lesson. I was having 1ComT lesson. There is a group presentation today. Supposingly it is held last Monday. I was doing the AV stuff things and my group mates were asking if we can get some extra marks. It had been long since I did AV stuff for the teachers in this school do it themselves.
Today, morning I went to school as early as 6.30am. I was so tired. Today I start lesson at 8.00am and I have to leave early because it is raining. So I have no choice but to do so. After which, I went to do some practical. It is taking of blood pressure. My blood pressure is normal and fine. This shows that I would not die of low blood pressure or high blood pressure. Nice ya! After which, I attended IBME lesson. I did not listen again! Once again, Wan Sin, Li Chao, Xue Zhen and Suhba were fooling around.
Went break with them! Before break was PS lesson. All of us were playing and fooling around. Laughing about anything that we said. And of course, mainly due to Wan Sin was trying to disturb Xue Zhen. During break, Li Chao went to find her friends. I ate rice with potato and sausages. It cost me about $1.40. How expensive that was! I want to save money and I will try to spend $10 per week! This is my goal.
At last, I ended all my MOL revision. Unknowingly, my teacher was fast enough and saw that I finish all the revision. So he came and tells me that since I have finish, I need not worry about the MOL anymore. Now all I have to do is to focus on my quizzes and common test! I can go and do some other examples and if I have problems, can go and find him. Actually, I think he is not a bad teacher too. He is quite concern about our results. Though he is naggy and long winded, it is all for us!
There goes my long story once again. I have to go for another lesson already. Catch me next time!
Today, it was a long day. I was alone at home, all bored up. I slept late yesterday night and I woke up today at about 11.30am. By that time, it is already time for my usual so-called breakfast. Not long after, I started playing Maple with my brother and I leech him. I was doing my Engineering Mathematics 2 tutorials and playing at the same time. However, there is someone who I am entertaining too was Kaitlyn. She kept disturbing me.
I completed my Engineering Mathematics 2 tutorials and played with Kaitlyn. Life was quite bored for I was just trying to entertain Kaitlyn. She just run around and I chase around. What to do? Her dad and mum were watching television. In the evening, I ate steamboat. What did I eat? As usual, I ate fish ball, meatball, mushroom, vegetable and abalone. And like what always happen, my mother would say me for not eating meat and fish. And, I would always say that fish ball is made using fish -- I ate fish, I ate meatball -- I ate meat, and I ate vegetable. And my sisters and all would always laugh about it. However, IT IS A FACT!
For this coming week, I have to go to school alone by bus. Reason being that my dad is going Thailand for one week. And this means that I have to go school alone. I have to wake up earlier and leave house earlier. Actually, I do not mind. However it is odd week next week and I have lesson that start at 8.00am! And means that I have to leave house at about 7.00am. I really think that I am fortunate at times. If not for daddy, do I get a chance to leave house late and wake up late? If I have lesson at 8.00am, I only have to leave house at about 7.30am. Nice right? How I wish too! I would miss daddy for this one week! Take care daddy!!
[17 May 2006, Wednesday]
Life today is so sick. There is nothing much to do and there is not much things to say. What more can I do in school besides studying? Nothing in fact.
[18 May 2006, Thursday]
Today, I had a long day. Started lesson at 10.00am. After break was my 4 hours of practical. Long indeed. First 2 hours were ELTech. I was doing circuits for my practical. We were supposed to analyze our rule on calculating resistance in parallel circuits and series circuits. Quite fun I suppose. I was not really concentrating today. Do not know why, I am just a little crazy and playing a fool. I was singing songs to Wan Sin and being crazy. I was a little crazy today. Not knowing why, I sang those kiddy songs.
Did not really know what I was doing during lesson today. After those 2 hours, I did practical on oscilloscope. Wan Sin and I was being reluctant. The two of us was totally transparent. The teacher did not really care about us. After which, we make our 3 pin switch. Wan Sin and I finished like 45mins before time end. However, we are supposed to show the teacher and she did not even care to look at our side. So end up, the two of us chit-chat for about 15mins before we were being answered. After which, Wan Sin and I went off first. Supposingly, I was meeting Daryl after school. However, instead of ending school at 4.00pm, he ended at 5.00pm. As for me, instead of ending at 5.00pm, I ended at about 4.15pm. Time changed for us.
[19 May 2006, Friday]
Today, school ended at 12.00pm. Life was so nice and fun. Initially, I thought that I could end early and go home sleep. However, I was having BME welcoming party at 5.00pm. I have to wait for 5 hours in school. I wanted to go out to play but Wan Sin does not wish to spend money. So end up, we spent 5 hours in the library. Quite sleepy though, I was reading a novel. It is a detective story. Did not finish reading it as I fall a sleep in the library.
The story is about how one guy, Jimmy, become crazy and posses violent against woman after seeing his mother died due to mutual love at the age of 12. He is a guy who is devoted to his mother after his father abandons him when he was about 4 years old. He undergoes psychology help, and gladly, he managed to pass and fully recovered. At the age of 18, he was release from the school. However, he still posses this violence. In shortly 3 months, he killed 10 woman and every time he do so, he would give the woman a knock on her head, dug out their heart and dress them up like a movie actress. Reason being that his mother was one who is a professional artist who loves to dress up like a movie actress. In total, he kill 10 woman and dug out 10 hearts. When he wanted to start on the 11th woman, he was caught and being electrocuted. And he swore that he would bring the detective who caught him, Riley, to go down together with him
The story did not end like this. The story continues after years, there is this guy called David. He undergoes some radiation thing and not knowing why, he posses the memory of the past. That is the memory of Jimmy. Gradually, he became like Jimmy. He started a series of killing, digging out the woman’s heart and doll them up like a movie actress. He started killing one by one, in the old theatre movie like Jimmy used to do so. This is a trilling and exciting story. Finally ended reading the story. Indeed it let people in suspension. The story is called Broken Hearts. Do try and go and get a flip at it. Interesting!!
In the night, I attended the party. It is bored. And I slept through the talk. We played the game called Human Bingo. I really wonder. The game motive is to interact. However, we never talk at all, just look for people to sign their names on it. After that, we played another game. Then after that, we started refreshments. Know a couple of seniors. Joked around and went home. Went home with Jie Ming for I do not know where to go taking bus 151 and 154. So I just went with Jie Ming. Coincidently, I saw Angeline on the bus and started talking. And then I reach this stop and do not know what bus to take to go home so Jie Ming walked me to the interchange. Thanks so much.
Actually, I think that Wan Sin is getting to sound, act more and more like Cailin. Then the feeling they gave me is about the same. I do not know why but I feel naturally quite close to Wan Sin. Maybe due to that I am close to Cailin and now, someone who roughly has the same personality as Cailin, I would gradually be comfortable with her. They are equally fun to be with!
In kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one
In primary one, your idea of a good friend, was the person who wentto the washroom with you and held your hand as you walked through the scary halls.
In primary two, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you stand up to the class bully.
In primary three, your idea of a good friend was the person who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours, you left on the bus.
In primary four, your idea of a good friend was the person who let you copy the social studies homework that you forgotten to do the previous night.
In primary five, your idea of a friend was the person who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you.
In primary six, your idea of a friend was someone who comforted you and lent their shoulder to you when you received your PSLE results
In secondary one, your idea of a friend was the person who helped you to pass the ''love letter'' to your crush/stead.
In secondary two, your idea of a good friend was the person who comforted you when you broke up with your boy/girl friend, saying that the person is not even worth of your tears
In secondary three, your idea of a good friend was the person who would come over to your house and help you decide on which clothes to wear on your first date, although she had her date waiting for her.
In secondary four, your idea of a good friend was the person who would help you in the "O" levels' examination when you had chicken pox and on the examination day, you recovered but your friend had the disease and had to stay home for a week.
Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, holds your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you!
Thank you for being a friend. No matter where we go or who we become, never forget who helped us get there. There's never a wrong time to pick up a phone or send a message telling your friends how much you miss them or how much you love them.
Long day I had today. Today is also the day of my very first quiz in school. It is so nervous of me and I was scared! The first quiz was IBME quiz. It is not that hard, however, I do not really remember what I read from the book. It is so headache! After which, was having lecture. My mind was half blank and I was so sleepy and tired. After which, I accompanied Wan Sin to go get her laptop at Blk 8.
After that, we rushed down to Convention centre for our PS lesson. I was so not listening to the lesson. I was dreaming away and not really giving thoughts into the lesson. And I believe that I am so going to flunk this module. I was trying to doze off during lesson for I am too tired and worn out. End up, I did not sleep yet just stay awake.
After that was break. I was waiting at the canteen for him to come. He was a bit slow. I could not blame him too for he is coming from another side to here to join me. So I waited for him and half an hour gone while waiting. So he went to buy food and we shared. His tummy was not that well today. I do not know why but do hope that he take good care of himself.
It is Mr. Wong Ah Gong lesson after break. We are having our EG2 quizzes. It is so not easy and short. Most of the questions are rated 15 marks. And 2 of the questions is rated 25 marks. So much right. However, there is only 5 questions. Pathetic the paper is. However, I had a couple of questions that is stuck. I did not study for the topic. However, Wan Sin gave me some enlightment to the topic on Complex Number. After which, I was doing MOL (Mathematics OnLine). I was doing on Applications on Derivatives. After long struggle, at last I completed with my 3 RED stars! I was over the moon and started to struggle Wan Sin. She was so shocked and to wake me up, she gave me a tight hit on my hand. It is so red and painful. However its ok because I HAVE COMPLETED IT AT LAST!!
After which was ElTech lesson. Today we are going through tutorials. She asked us to do some questions that she had even yet to teach. Quite a struggle of course. Was sleepy in class and my eyes wanted to close. I continued to listen as hard as I could and tried to concentrate. I learnt what I was supposed to learn for today lesson and OFF! I switch off already because I am too tired
Went down to the Atrium to meet him and went home after that. On the bus, I was eating chocolates and was dozing off on the way. After that, went home and watch some television programme.
Was watching "Xin Nian 18 Shui". It is a Korea drama where a 33 years old guy married an 18 year old girl. How their feelings develop from time to time. It is a romantic yet funny show. Today, I cried watching the show. I though it is so touching and romantic. Nice show. However I always forget to catch the Monday one. I always missed Monday’s appisode. So sad of it! Do catch it on Channel U, every Monday and Tuesday at 7.00pm! it is a nice show to help relax and give a good laugh!
[13 May 2006, Saturday]
Today, stayed home for the whole day. Kaitlyn came down to my house and I was spending almost half my time playing with her. Fun is the word to explain. I am getting to love my niece so much! Maybe it is due to that last time, she is small and young, and it really takes lots of time to take care of her. Now, she knows how to run and jump about. Though she does lose balance and fall down occasionally, she is not that hard to take care of! Played hide and seek with her and I kept piggy-bagging her.
In order to piggy-bag her, I had to go to put her on the bed and let her climb onto me. After I put her down in the living room, she pull me to my room and want to stand on the bed so I can piggy-bag her again. Initially, she is quite light. However, as I continue to carry her, I feel that she is quite heavy. When I piggy-bag her, she will wave goodbye to anyone that she sees. Doesn’t she look adorable? Just irresistible!
In the night, I suddenly got a call from Kenneth that 5th aunt and 7th aunt is bringing him to go Jacks’ Place, do I want to join in. So I went and join them in the meal! When I left the house, Kaitlyn though that I am going downstairs to play. She wanted to come along, however, I did not bring her and in the end, she cried so loudly that I reach first floor also can hear her cry. I went down to my grandma place and saw Benjamin there. Kenneth, Benjamin and 5th aunt started talking. Benjamin told me some things about the school and some nice place for food! Yummy!
My 7th aunt was late, as usual! She was about 1 hour and 15 min late. We went to Sizzler and found out that the Salad Bar was $7 more then usual price. So we decided not to go there and eat. End up; we went to Fiester to eat Sushi. The Mango Pudding there is nice! It cost $1.90 per cup. The pudding is nice and smooth. It is sweet too. When you eat, the pudding will slide down your throat. So smooth that when you put into your mouth, you will feel its tenderness. It is up to you to try to believe!
[14 May 2006, Sunday]
Morning, I went to Kbox with my sister and her husband. Spent a short time there for we did not take and the time allowed us to stay was short. After which, went shopping with them. After the shopping, I went down to the National Library and did my presentation outline on my 1ComT presentation. Discuss up to about 5pm and went home. He came and looks for me, thus accompanying me home. I reach home and he went to the car park and we talk across the trees. After which, I went to look after Kaitlyn and played with her.
When Kaitlyn went home, I went to do my ElTech tutorials. It is not that hard, however, there are a couple of questions on a circuit consisting of both parallel and series resistors. Did not know how to do and spent lots of time on it. After doing it, I went sleeping.
[15 May 2006, Monday]
Initially, lesson starts at 1.00pm. However, I went to school at 10.00am to meet my team mates for the 1ComT presentation which is at the later part. I was so tired and sleepy. So Derrick and I started on the presentation first since the others have yet to come. At about 10.10am, Han Lee came. The three of us were brain dead and did not know that to put into the slides. At 11.20am, Jie Long came. He is so late and we are about to go. We booked the room from 10.00am to 12.00pm and he came at 11.20am. So late is he. However, there is someone later which is Yuen Cheng. On Sunday, he did not come, and today, he was so late. He came at about 11.50am. How early he was! We did not talk much and all of us went for lunch.
There were people giving off brochures on The Danvci Code. Was browsing through what it was about. And I got quite interested in the show. I want to go catch it. And I went for my 1ComT lesson. I gave my 2 min presentation today. It is so stressful. I said about the General Election. I know that it is hopeless and pathetic. But it is great that it all ended! Coming up next is the group presentation which is postponed to next week.
After lesson, I sat at the Atrium and wait for him to end his lesson which is at 5.00pm. I waited for 2 hours for him. I slept at the Atrium. Not knowing why, an uncle came and knocks the table when I am lying down on the table. It is the cleaner. I do not know why he knocked the table.
Just watch Tsubasa Chronicle the Movie! What the, it is so nice that I want to download it! however, it is not allow to be downloaded into the computer. I am so sad! I want to download it for it is so nice and fantastic!
Today, I stayed at home for the whole day. It is so bored and nothing to do. Morning, I woke up at 10.00am. I was quite tired and started surfing the net and washing up. After which, my eldest sis called and said that she is coming down. I was looking forward for Kaitlyn arrival.
When eldest sis arrives, Kaitlyn was sleeping. My brother and I were watching WWE. It is the hard core matches. It is violent and disgusting. One of the matches was between two men. One of the men, man A, special was to knock the other person with his head. And knowing that, man B, tied wire coil around his waist. When man A do his special, as expected, his head start to bleed. This was not the worst case. There are also tacks. Man A pour tacks on the floor, wanting to push man B to the tacks. However, it did not turn out so. Man B give it a swift and lock man A's neck to push him back down on the tacks. Painful as you can expect. And there is this part where man B was going to win, however, man B got whack by man A's girl. Taking the chance where both men were taking breathe, the girl pour kerosene on the table and lighted it. Seizing the opportunity, man A dash and knock man B on the stomach, causing man B to fall back, down on the fire of kerosene. Sure painful. And man A won with his face looking bloody and his back filled with tacks.
There is this match, the match between a guy called Shawn and Mr. Mc(something). This match can said to be the most interesting one. What I think is that Shawn is quite good looking. But this not what I want to say in this part. It is that halfway through the match, Mr. Mc's son appears. And due to some fighting and stuff, instead of Shawn, Mr. Mc's son had his face on his father’s butt and rubbing on it. Disgusting right. Mr. Mc did not know and thought it was Shawn and was enjoying that Shawn was being so called irritated. And the match continues and until a part where the ladder was taken out. The ladder was about 3 levels high and Mr. Mc was put to lie down on the table with an aluminium tin on his head. And know what, Shawn jumped from the highest level down and hit Mr. Mc. It is so painful that he is not moving at all. The paramedics have to come and help Mr. Mc to the hospital. Throughout the whole match, Mr. Mc son was handcuff by the ring to see and Mr. Mc was bleeding profusely. To my surprise, Shawn did not seem to get hurt or a single blood dripping from him.
After which, Kaitlyn woke up and I started playing with her. Today, Kaitlyn was so naughty and clumsy. She keeps running around the house, following me everywhere I go. End up, I played hid and seek with her. Today, she cried a number of times. Firstly, she falls down by the bathroom sofa. She was waking and lose balance and she fall on the floor, knocking herself. She cried and my mother started talking alien language. Next, she was in mother’s room and playing with an alarm clock. I did not know what really happen but what I know is that she falls on her head and now there is a blue-black. Another matter was she put her hand below the sofa and trying to take something out. And unknowingly, she got stuck. My brother saw and gives her a HELPING hand and just takes her hand out. Lastly was she was playing with the computer chair and while playing, she got stuck between the computer chair and sofa. With a slight push of the chair by my mother, she got out and continues playing. She is like Ms. Clumsiest today.
In the night, we went out to eat dinner to celebrate mother's day. Eat quite a lot today. Heard a lot of stories about how my parents almost strike 4D and how the monks in certain temple words are so true. And of course, my brother did some debating while I take care of Kaitlyn. After dinner, we went home and Kaitlyn went home too. They are coming over to my place tomorrow again! Looking forward to it!
For the whole of today, did not talk to him much. Or should I say I did not talk to him. Sometimes I really think, is our together good or is it just some kind of trouble. We argue over different things at times. But this is a little too common. Sometimes I really do not know what happen too. Keep arguing is also not the way for a relationship. Why can't ours be peaceful and not filled with arguments? All this really makes me think, why I am still trying to keep this relationship. This thinking really makes me wonder my feelings. However, when I tell him that lets get this off, he would try to keep. And this time, my heart really starts to ache. I do not know why. Coming to think of it, I wonder did I really step out of the darkness. I admit that what happen in the past is real one big impact. And now I wonder, every time we argue is due to what. The same reason as I experience once or is it because I am sensitive. I do not know why but I fear, fear that history will repeat. This fear makes me stop and not move. Should I heed other people’s advice, stop for a while, or should I continue and take each step as it is?
Today, which I believe is known as yesterday already, was a great fun day! It started off the day like this..
In the morning, daddy did not join me for breakfast. I was all alone because there is not a single empty parking lot for dad. So he gave it a miss and I was left alone. While drinking Milo, I saw Mr. Wong Ah Gong. He remembered me and greeted good morning with a slight nod of his head. And of course, I greeted him back. After which, I went to meet Wan Sin to get our locker locked and put our tools into the locker. There is still time left, so we went to the Atrium and waited for time to pass.
After which, we went for ElTech lesson. Not knowing why, I was so enthusiastic during lesson. I was so awake and so eger to learn the new things that she was teaching. Indeed, it is quite fun. However, Wan Sin was busy dozing off and Li Chao was concentrating on the next door lesson. The next door lesson was on integration. She was staring through the mirror and to the next room.
After 1 hour of ElTech, a librarian came in and started giving us talk on the library matters. I was all bored and reluctant to listen. The talk was so bored and lame. They were teaching us on the library facilities and how do we unlock our card and all. It is just so bored. Besides, there is a question and answer part. It is so lame and useless. The "trumpet" was over there blowing again. He is just so noisy and loud!
During break, I ate lemon chicken rice again. Then, Siang Long and Daryl accompanied me to my block outside the room. We were talking and playing outside the room. When Wan Sin and Li Chao came, I scared Wan Sin by accident. Then we waited and waited. At last the door is open and I can go in. It was physiological system practical!
Today, on PS practical, we examine the human body. We dismantle every part of the human body and name it. It is disgusting and smell. There is smell of rubber and it really gives me a headache. I feel like vomiting then. The body is so disgusting and yecks! Cannot stand it!
The lesson ended at about 45 min before time. So we went to buy bubble tea. It is quite expensive, honeydew smoothes cost $1.80. And the drink is so not nice. Honeydew is white in colour. It is not tasty and sweet. The pearl is not chewy and crunchy. To my recommendation, DO NOT drink the bubble tea as it is not tasty. It can said to be the worst I ever taste for a bubble tea. If you want to try, maybe you can try some other places where you only need to pay $1.00.
After that, I went to electrical practical studies, EPS. In that course, I learn about the oscilloscope and soldering. Currently I am doing on oscilloscope. It is quite fun however, the guys would play a fool over it. Today, we were doing on sound wave. They played the things and the awful high pitch and high frequency sound really spoils the ear. It makes me have headache.
Then, after school, went out with Chin Swee, Daryl and Siang Long. We went to Toa Payoh to meet Joseph and Wei Jie. We went to play pool. Nice game we had however, I kept losing, not knowing why. I was laughing all the way, joking and playing a fool. After which, we went to Shop And Save to buy some drinks. And then we went to the void deck and started playing.
I did not know that our class, 4E1’o5 was such generous bunch of people. We joke and called them to ask them for a lone of either $20 or $50. Unknowingly, all agreed to do so without hesitation or so. I was so touched by them. However, one of the fastest and most amazing was when Daryl called Yumei for a loan of $20. She did not question him much and within 15 sec, she agreed to lend him the money! Wow! That was quite unexpected. These made us continue to play and so called fool other people.
From these, we came up with a conclusion that making a loan from Yumei was easy, especially when Daryl asked. So we started joking Daryl about it and make fun of this 15 sec. it is real fascinating that in 15 sec, one would lend you $20. It is not quite a small amount. We played and time does fly fast. I reach home at about 12.00am, including the time where I shower.
Here I am to start blogging about what happen. It is indeed a great time together and play together. Really love times spending and playing together. For one could never expect what would the other say. Next time, do play such games. It is quite fun. However, DO pick who is the caller, some may write you a composition!
Today is another tired day. My lesson starts at 9.00am; however, I need to reach school by 8.00am. Reason being that my brother starts lesson at 8.00am. With this reason, I have to reach school early.
Morning, I reach the earliest, and was waiting in the classroom. Because I am having quizzes on IBME next week, I was studying in the room. Then, here come Wan Sin and Wei Hao. Wan Sin was busy settling her laptop things and Wei Hao was busy copying the notes that IBME lecturer gave. Then, more and more people came.
First lecture was ElTech. Was learning on parallel circuits. Nothing great about it for my WONDEFUL physics teacher, Mr. Teh, had already taught us on that. During lesson, was half awake and half sleeping. Was not really concentrating that time. And yesterday lesson can said that is one of the noisiest lesson I had experience. The whole class was talking non-stop and the guys behind were playing POKEMON again!
After which was IBME lecture. Wan Sin, Li Chao and I were playing a fool. We were drawing on the paper and making our own trademark. Our beloved Wan Sin drew a pig head with an ant's body. Symbolizing me for sometimes I am blurring like pig and sometimes ask some stupid questions that people will not ask. Therefore, she would always say me pig! And Li Chao was known as a cockroach. Reason? I do not know. Just drew that.
Break time! Spent break with Wan Sin and Li Chao. Yumei initially said that she wanted to come over to join me. However, half way through, she said that she is tired and do not feel like coming. I ended my lesson half an hour earlier then the time given. At last, manage to get the chicken rice that I have been waiting to eat. It is quite nice! So do try Canteen 2, aka Block 18, chicken rice stall. Try the Lemon Chicken Rice. It is nice and delicious!
Went for my last lesson which is Mr. Wong Ah Gong's lesson, EG2! Wan Sin and I brought chocolate into the room and munch it during lesson. Naughty right! Time fly so slowly in Mr. Wong's lesson. How I wish to go home. And he let us off half an hour earlier again! Happy was I! I went off and meet Daryl. He gave me the working file and I went off.
Took bus home alone again. Daryl and I had a small tiff over some things and so; both of us went home alone. After which, I went to find him to pass him some things. After some arguing, we get over with the things and were joking around. Daryl’s brother came home and wanted to play the computer. He wanted to play Warcraft, however, he is lazy to download so he played Red Alert.
After watching television, I went home and Daryl sent me home. Did not go for work today as by the time I reach home, I am worn out and tired. So I did some Mathematics online and went to sleep. zZzZzZ
Joseph asked me if I am interested to go out today. I do wonder where he has in mind to go. I am quite lazy as u knows. So I do not wish to waste time thinking where to go and all. So, maybe I am going out today! Haha. And Cailin date me tomorrow afternoon. It had been long since my Antz Colony come together. Pei Ying and Chin Swee would be going I suppose. How I wish Alice was here too. On Sunday, I had to go Bugis to do project. Oh, how sick was that supposed to be! Means that I cannot spend time with Kaitlyn and play with her! Oh~
Hey, another good day again! Today, it is Tuesday, the day where I hate school most! Started school at 8.00am today and it ended at 5.00pm. I repeat, 5.00pm. The day is so long and bored.
Morning, I was having my practical. I was doing on Human Factor. We were doing on our reaction. Using our ears only, eyes only and of course, both eyes and ears. Which do you think gives us the fastest reaction? Of course is when both eyes and ears are used. However, my answer does not seem to show that. My group consists of 4 people. And know what, it takes me 0.35s to react when I use both my ears and eyes! And do you know how long that is! And of course, it only takes me 0.25s to react when using my ears only. But according to majority, eyes and ears allows us to respond the fastest! Maybe I am just odd!
Another experiment that I did was to check which kind of button is the easiest to press. And actually, heavy buttons are easier to press then light buttons. And also, those buttons which pop up is easier to press then those flat buttons. This is the results! I was fascinated!
After which, I went for lessons. And today, there is PS lesson. Bored is all I could say. After that, Wan Sin went home as she has to get her laptop done. Poor her, so fast laptop spoilt already. Hope it is done now.
During the trip from block 8 to convention centre, was joking with Wan Sin, Li Chao and Xue Zhen. Was joking and playing all the way. I laughed till my stomach ach. Was joking that Xue Zhen is a tortoise. And that her tortoise head and shell. Jokingly, I asked where the tortoise tail is. Li Chao said that her hair is the tortoise tail. And I asked blurry, why is the tortoise tail on tortoise head? And everyone start laughing.
After break, I went to the room earlier, about 15 min earlier. And guess what? I saw Rebacca’s boyfriend. What I think is that Rebacca is pretty; however, her boyfriend is not that good looking too. Maybe there is something that she sees in him. I do not know but they do looks loving, that is something I know!
During EG2 lesson, was spending 1 hour doing Mathematics online. Stressful for I am doing the revision papers. Besides, it is tough. The programme is not as clever as we thought. They cannot differentiate the answer. Their answer do not varies. Example is answer is -30(3x-2) and my answer is 30(2-3x). The answer is the same yet I was said to be wrong. Ridiculous right! So it does spend lots of time to do!
After which, I went for ElTech. Lesson was so bored! When we were going through our tutorials, I fall asleep. And know what, we were doing tutorials on ohm’s law and our favourite rule, V=RI. It is so bored! Many of us were falling asleep! zZzZz
After school, went home. Was tired. Wanted to sleep. Long day I had today and tomorrow, I still have work to do! That is so sick! Feeling so bored and sloppy in school! I want to have a holiday and go out to chill out!
Forgotten to bring my phone today. So sick! Longest day of school yet I forgotten my phone. Its ok I thought. However, it rained heavily today. Wanted to call dad to fetch me home, however I forgotten my phone which means, NO CAR!! So sad! Live without phone is quite good too. After so long, I finally experience life without phone. I remember last time; someone told me that he/she doubt that I could live without a phone! And know that, I did it! Some more is one whole day, 12 hours! Fascinating!!
Got to go and study again! There will be 2 quizzes next week. Better start mugging before it is late! Having IBME and EG2 quizzes next week. How I wish I could do well....
Hey, I have ended school for the day already. Now, I am at home, doing nothing, going to rest and get ready for work later. Today was a short day in school. For I go school for only 5 hours. 2 hours is spent at Individual and the Community (IAC), 1 hour on break and last 2 hours on Communication Toolkit (1ComT).
For IAC today, we did nothing much but just some talk and the bit on personality. My lecturer said that in Singapore, the mind set is that we would first have Love, then Marriage and lastly Sex. However, in other countries like england, they first have Sex, then Marriage and lastly Love. But I am real curious that what if Love does not grow after Marriage, what would happen? If there is no Love and there is Sex and Marriage, and coincidentally, she is pregnant?What would happen to the baby? abandon? That is something questionable.
It is said that different personality people can work well in a group. The only problem in a group of different personality is that they have problems communicating their ideas. Besides, they would all have the same blind spots. And of course, for marriage, it is best if both are of same personality. This makes communication and decision making easier and more efficient. Maybe you would want to take the test to know yourself better. You can take it at the personality test web, http://www.personalitytype.com/quiz.asp . Do tell me you are what kind. =)
I myself am an ISFJ. People of this type tend to be: cautious, gentle, and thoughtful; hesitant until they know people well then affectionate and caring; very literal and aware of the physical world; uncompromising about personal standards and easily offended; diligent and conscientious, organized and decisive. The most important thing to ISFJs is living a stable, predictable life and helping people in real ways. So does it really apply to me? I do not really think so. I am not of that gentle and thoughtful. It makes my hair stands upon seeing that that is my kind of personality.
After break, I was having 1ComT lesson. was having some tutorial before the talk. The lecturer was saying that our appearence do make a big impact when we talk. And she said that there is something called love at first sight. What i like most is what she say after that, "will this love last is another questions." True indeed, will love at first sight last is another question.
Today is the day for my 2 min speech. Spooky~ we were given each 15 min to plan and talk about it. Some of them skipped to next week as they are not really prepared. And for me, I skipped to next week too. Reason being that I am the last in class, and time ran out. so I had to be push to next week. Is that good or bad? How I wish once and for all, so I need not stress myself so much. Really wonder how I would fare.
When I reach home, I read the 4E1'o5 blog. It was saying that it had been long since a gathering was held. True indeed, it was long since we last met. Times together are really nice and memorable. Maybe some of them had already changed, in terms of hair style, personality and all. How I wish that there is really one gathering or what where we can come together again and start "gossiping'" However, wanting to compromise and satisfy the class is not easy and do take time. There are many pros and cons about it. So I do not know if I should go and organize one. Confuse!
Well, went home alone after school. Long and tiring trip back home. And being the 3rd week, I still can take the wrong bus home. And almost lost my way. I alighted at the wrong stop and took time to walk to the next bus stop. Poor me! I think this is the end of what happen for the day in school. Have to go and do some tutorials already. Blog next time.
It's coming to the end of the day and I am still here. Going to sleep soon for I still have school tomorrow. Was reading some other people's blog. Realize that a couple of people had their blog changed or deleted. Well, I am not here to talk about this. I remembered that I was talking about my poly life studying. I have yet to really introduce some of the people in there. I wanted to do so, however, I was interrupted by my beloved niece. Its ok, I can play with her and both had fun.
First is the first person whom I talk to. He is called Derrick. Know him on the first day of school. How did I know him? Not 'dian lai' one, is just to ask directions. He was asking me if that is the room as I went early for school. So we started chatting since there is still 20 minutes and there are no other people. It was IAC lesson that day. He is not a bad chap. Did not talk to him much after the only day we met. His English is powerful. From the way he speak, woo~ sure of certain standards.
Next, is this girl called Han Lee. Knew her from 1ComT lesson. We are the only 2 girls for IAC and 1ComT. Pathetic right? However, manage to talk to her and realize that both of us are from BME. She is one funny girl. And her words nice but seems like she don write willingly. Ha, for she anyhow write it.
And this guy, Jie Long, he is from ECE. He has one cute email address, Tigger something. Both Han Lee and I were laughing all the way. He is one of our group mates. After which we exchange email and off we go home.
After which, I know this girl called Xue Zhen. She is a foreigner. An 11 pointer girl who came into BME. She wanted to get into JC but she cannot for she fails English. Poor thing right. She is one quiet girl. Don really talk much during lesson.if you sit next to her, beware! She would copy whatever the lecturer put on the OHP or on the board. Stressful!!
And of course, this girl who always play around with me, Wan Sin. She is crazy and fun. During lesson, I would occasionally use my phone and give her a miss call and joke her. Sure nice to hang around with her. She is really funky.
Last is Li Chao. She is a China girl. A 6 pointer in BME course. She is not like Xue Zhen where she copy whatever in lesson. She is one who will complete the tutorials once the lecture says that there is a tutorial to do. She never drags. Nice girl, always gang up with me and disturb Wan Sin.
And wait, there is this girl called Rebacca. She is a trendy girl. She wears differently from the rest of us. She wears skirts, mini shorts, sleeveless and all those teenage girls usually wear. She hangs around with the guys. She does not interact with the girls. No girls had talk to her before except asking her to pass the attendance list. That is all.
For the rest, I think there is not much for me to say. Just that there is this bunch of guys in my class. They never listen in class. They can be playing laptop for the whole day regardless whether we need laptop during lesson or not. They play games like POKEMON! Can you believe it? And they are real intense about it. Every hour playing POKEMON!! And they train real intense. I do not know why.
Well, I do have to go and rest already. Starting school at 10am tomorrow. However, I would reach at about 8.30am. This is because daddy has to go work and had an installation at 9.30am. Besides, my brother starts school at 9.00am. Means I have to spend time all alone. So sick! And going to have my 2 min speech soon..
It had been long since I have type a blog. Reason being that I just change my blog once again. I deleted my old one and this is a new one. It had been 2 weeks since school started. Life in poly is not as easy as thought. Now, in my course, biomedical engineering, I learn mainly Physics, Biology and Add Maths. Practically, since 19 November, I had thrown everything back to the teachers already.
So sick. For physics, I am learning on circuits and alternating current and direct current. Learning Ohm's law once again. Our famous few rules like V=RI and etc. As for Additional Mathematics, learning differentiation now. It is so sick to learn that. I have forgotten all the rules and formulas. Have to recap if not, it is so troublesome.
I am studying Engineering Mathematics 2 (EG2). I have skipped Engineering Mathematics 1 (EG1). Well, this is due to that some people in the class got distinction for both Additional Mathematics and E-Maths; these people can skip EG1 and accelerate to EG2. These people are known as the accelerators. This is what my EG2 lecture, Mr. Wong say one. Mr. Wong is one naggy and long-winded lecture. He is quite old as you know. When he talks, he talks slowly and patiently. Let's take some example. When learning the first topic, plane geometry, where we learn straight line graph, y=mx+c, all these. Practically, one teacher would not take long to teach a bunch of ACCELERATORS these. However, he took a total of 3 hours to teach this. He is just draggy. His favourite line is "ok, understand?" and "agree a not?" He always says this sentence. Find one fine day, I shall go and calculate how many times he says "ok, understand" and "agree a not?"
Physics lesson, also known as Electrical Technology (ElTech), is lead by one cute lecturer. On the first week of school, when we have her lecture or tutorial lesson, she would just tell us some stuff and draw up the map to show us where each place is. She is not like Mrs. Ling. She spends lots and lots of transparency. She would have one transparency where she prints her note. And she would take one pieces and pieces of transparency and overlap it and write. She teaches 2 classes. 1H1 and 1H2. Come to think, how many she need just to teach these few classes. Sure lots! You can say that she is better than Mr. Teh in someway. She will explain and show example at the same time, making us think. Neither does she makes things that hard to understand. **Unlike Mr. Wong**
Besides, I have got a lesson called Introduction to Biomedical Engineering (IBME). This is one of my favourite and most attentive lessons. It teaches us all about medical term. I learnt about all the medical facilities in respective hospitals and what kind of group is each equipments in. I can say this is one of the most interesting lessons that I have. For the lecture is interesting and entertaining. Not like others which are more plain and monotonous. He knows how to joke and indeed knows what we teenagers are thinking.
I also have the main biology lesson, Physiological System (PS). It is the most boring lesson that one could possibly have. For PS lessons, we bring our laptop along. We have to do so. Everyone would start to surf net, chat on msn and all. Normal isn't it. We have a project for this topic too. It is just far too bored. When he teaches, we do not know what he is talking at all. Practically, until now, I do not know what have I learnt in this topic. It is the worst thing it could ever happen. Lucky this is not an examinable topic. If not, I would be dead! So dead!
There is this other course called the Individual and The Community (IAC) and Communication Toolkit (1ComT). This is under the school of Interdisciplinary Studies. IAC nurtures one skills, knowing ourselves more and of course, our strengths and weakness. As for 1ComT, it is a course where it trains your communication skills. On the second lesson alone, each of us is to make a 2 min speech. As for me, I have yet to make this speech as my lesson is on Monday and Monday is a holiday. So I have to wait till tomorrow then I can do it. I do not want to make this speech. It is scary and not interesting. I want to pon lesson tomorrow!
I should end here already. I have talk so much about my course and all about each module. So as to conclude, Biomedical Engineering is not a bad course. It is quite interesting though. If wants to excel, sure have to work hard. Which course does not need to work hard to excel. From what I know, my class, 1H1 consist of not many ladies. Most of the ladies are foreigners. They are those 6 pointers, 7 pointers. Scary isn't it. Sure have to work hard!
