Haha yay got rid of stupid relativity test finally, which proved to be imba sh*t. And Mr Lim still dare say it was a "fair test"... Fair my foot. It was probably used to put a clear distinction between the mediocre and the best. Bah.
Wait. That's probably is intention. See who are the ones truly talented in physics... Well I definitely don't fall under that category. And strangely I am THANKFUL that I don't.
*thinks of all the evil things I would do to my physics notes once I graduate*
Oh wait my sis needs those notes! LOL I CAN CHUCK THEM AT HER. YAY GOOD RIDDANCE
Sigh nevermind. Today security alarm on my cluster got tripped. Got a stern warning from Mr Sukandar... Oh well. Was funny while it lasted (besides that irritating alarm noise of course).
Eeks have been slacking too much! Need to rush stuff out and mug for chem oly test tmr! AHHHH... >.<

Tests and applications
Rarghs. All the pressure and stress.
4 tests.
3 applications.
2 scholarships.
1 week.
No way I will let it slip up.
*fingers crossed*
Atomic was OK I guess... could have done better though (full marks carelessly lost again, just like bio quiz). Zzz.. Oh well keeping my head high for tomorrow's relativity test. Hopefully I can make a pass with any luck - have never been too hopeful for Mr Lim's stuff anyway. Never made too much sense out of his lessons anyway.
Why can't lessons be like Mr Ang's? So advanced, yet deceivingly simple and understandable. Or maybe relativity just sucks. Yea. Hope so. >.<

Back from Bintan!
Heh, finally back from Bintan.
COUNCIL LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE CAMP ROCKED TO THE TOP! =D
As in kinda literally, since the day ended with climbing to the top of the team challenge pyramid. A shame there wasn't any paintball though. So sad! =(((
Oh and raft building was scrapped because it was jellyfish season too. Aww.
But all I can say is that this is peanuts compared with the upcoming OBS for year 3s - though honestly I myself have never experienced OBS before. Haha, nevertheless, good luck guys!
And this leaves me really really tired. Think I shall go to sleep now or something. But then again, maybe shall play a while before I go sleep. Yeah. See ya.
P.S. On a side note, I think I am feeling better from those past few depressing weeks. In a better state of mind now. Hopefully it would help me conquer those two physics tests. >.< The heat is on!

What is wrong with me?
I don't get it. I just don't.
First, I screwed chem quiz because I was complacent. Then I screwed math quiz because I panicked and misread half the questions. The worst thing, is that both quizzes have been consecutive, and both didn't turn out well...
What the f*** is wrong with myself?
I don't understand. This normally doesn't happen to me. OK an occasional slip up in a subject every once in a while is acceptable in my standards, but to have gradually slipping grades in the past few weeks in several subjects, leading up to 2 failures in a row? Something ain't right. And the worst is I don't see the problem I am facing...
Oh God, please tell me what am I doing to deserve this. Is it stress? Is it my commitments? Or is it just my style getting me into deep sh*t this time?
I need... help.
No. Not academic help. I don't believe that is my main problem.
I need someone to talk to. Someone to comfort in. Someone who understands my current dilemma and can help me through this difficult time.
In the past, I used to remember those times I cried before my parents each time I brought home an unsatisfactory grade for a test or exam. Then I had a chat with them and they explained to me what am I doing wrong and comfort me in the process, empowering me to face other challenges ahead, strong at heart. How I miss those days... I think I find myself reliving those memories again today.
*lost appetite*. Listening to My Immortal by Evanescence. How fitting, the mood.
Now that I am in hostel, I spend very little time with my parents. I used to take them for granted, thinking that they would always be around every time I wanted them to be. I used to think they would always be at my side, keeping me company when I need them most. Taken them for granted so much that sometimes I find myself being unappreciative of their kind intentions. Now, in hostel, away from them most of the time, I once relished this newfound freedom I have over them. But at this point of time when I am weak and have no one to turn to, my parents are just half of Singapore away...
Oh man I don't get it.
Sigh I guess I should feel thankful it's Friday. At least I get to see them for one night this week. It ain't as bad... I hope. I got so much load on my chest that I need to pour out to someone. And I believe my parents are the best people I can confide in.
You may think I sound childish or kiddish by saying all this, but let me make it clear, my parents form the strongest pillars of support and strength in my life, besides God. I am not ashamed that I have such strong bonds with sister, parents and all. It's now then I realise how much I love my family... and miss them. Miss their calming, enjoyable presence. Miss their... warmth and comfort.
I am crumbling from within. In this cold, dark place, who can help me seek the light? God I thank you for your power in me; power to carry through... have faith. Faith...
I guess this experience has taught me to treasure my loved ones and to teach me the simple fact that not everyone is infallible - including myself. I must have been a fool to think that my will and heart won't falter in the face of danger. A personality flaw, an impaired character. Little wonder what can save me now...
Argh. To quote Casting Crowns, "Jesus, set me free..." *shuts eyes in silent prayer*
Ah, and to quote Good Charlotte "Hold on... if you feel like letting go. Hold on... it gets better than you know..." *crosses fingers in hope*
Hope... I need hope. And a determination to start again from scratch. Must fight stress as best I can and keep my hope alive. Yeah. Hope... keep me free.

f***ing screwed
Does school have to be that stressful?
Or is it just me making my life difficult. Blah...
My legs feel like dropping dead right this instant. Thank goodness relativity test was postponed. Otherwise tomorrow will be total GG for me already. Sigh...
Time to do IR. I think. Can only blame myself for slacking this afternoon. Zzz...

Overseas SL?
Just had service learning talk, with Mr Tan, Ms Koh, and Mr Valles telling us about it. Apparently this year's SL project will take us to Manila to build a computer lab, helping some school that serves the street children community. At first, the project sounded OK, until a point was raised where the current project was compared with Love Chiang Mai 2005 - namely the project initiated by Ms Florence Lee herself. Somehow, somewhere, this new project doesn't seem to project the same fervor as the one of the past... something is lacking. I don't understand why.
Lack of enthusiasm? Cynicism? Maybe. Or perhaps the absence of a strong, inspiring vision/visionary? God knows.
I want to help the needy. I really feel the urge to go experience what it is like to be in the shoes of the street children. I really want to. But really, is this the most appropriate avenue to do so? Are we, as certain people put it, really addressing the basic needs of the street children community?
As you can see I am bloody confused on what to do now. Half of me wants to be out there doing something useful for the community - even if this something is a small one. The other half (the supposedly greater half) feels the sense of disappointment when putting this project in comparison with the "legendary" Love Chiang Mai 2005, believing my efforts would have been better invested in another project. Is this the right attitude we should be adopting towards this project, just because it doesn't make an impact as big as that of the past? Or should we, as proactive youths, be looking farther into planning a bigger scale project that we can accomplish?
A pebble dropped into the water makes small ripples, which will grow to make big ripples, which will grow to make tidal waves. Perhaps what we do today in the computer lab might change hundreds of lives forever? We should think more long term and how we can help these people by adding a light bulb to brighten their future, even if the light bulb is small and possibly insignificant, we should help them maximize the light we give them, right?
Sometimes I wonder, if it would have been any different if Ms Flo is directing the same project herself. Would it have been received in a different light? *Tsk tsk* I even hear people saying Ms Flo should return to lead future NUSHS SL activities! Sigh... a shame and loss that she's decided to achieve her aspirations elsewhere. A loss for the school at least. =(
Oh, and to end of this post with another quote: "A pebble makes a ripple in water... but what if the body of water was an ocean?" Wouldn't the ripple have been lost in the turbulence of the crashing waves?
Oysters and fried rice make a good combination to eat, I think? =)

CNY Day 2
Haha CNY's been very very very sluggish after the eve and the 1st day... guess my parents ain't the type who likes getting into CNY hype. Blame it all on work from school lah. Bah. Even my sis and I are not spared from homework *thinks of the abominable pile of homework I have left to settle*.
Looking forward to seeing Dr Seah later! =D

Hey everyone! This is to wish all of you a happy CNY! =D
May you receive loads of angbaos and $$$ and - oops. Not supposed to say the next part. Hee hee. XD
*poof!*

CNY coming soon
Lalala... CNY is round the corner!
Today had CNY celebrations in school. Darn screwed, my class is. Our song probably sucked the most out of the entire school, but thank goodness we can still save our face with 1. Andre's superb guitar skills, and 2. the infamous Larmie-Zheny cross talk. Haha. x)
The performances were OK I guess, and Mr Lee's been a real sport this time, going up there on stage and doing stuff! Haha hurray for Mr Lee! We know that 504 mentor rocks as much as 504 does anyway. XD
Sigh, which makes me miss the times we had lessons in our MG. Now does anyone wanna propose a lecture-styled education for the specialization years?
After school didn't stay behind much - sadly, because I know most people were going out and I am probably gonna feel very sorry for myself for not being involved with such activities with my peers. Went to sort some stuff out and quickly left with my sis for lunch. Went NUS Co-Op to get McMurry's organic chemistry text, and then had lunch. After that, my dad took us to Sim Lim Sq. to get my laptop RAM upgraded! 1 whole GB of extension! Woots, no more lag! =D
The afternoon was spent looking at cars and doing some shopping. Nothing eventful... I guess.
*looks at the homework pile beside me and sighs*

Yesterday. Today. Forever
Gonna do a double post at 12.47 in the morning... yes I am nuts now. Can't be bothered to study bio. x(
First post of two:
Recently bought myself a compilation of worship songs, which I find very soothing and refreshing to listen to (hey come on, it's WORSHIP). Although most of the songs are quite similar in nature, I felt that there was one song that stood out from the other 29 tracks, and left quite an impression in me. The song is below.
Christians (and interested non-Christians), please enjoy. =)
YESTERDAY TODAY, AND FOREVER
by Vicky Beeching
Everlasting God
The years go by but You're unchanging
Is this fragile world
You are the only firm foundation
Always loving always true
Always merciful and good
So good

You are the same You never change
Yesterday today, and forever
You are faithful and we will trust in You
We will trust in You
Uncreated One
You have no end and no beginning
Earthly power fade
But there is no end to Your kingdom
Always loving always true
Always merciful and good
So good
Yesterday today, and forever
You are the same You never change
Yesterday today, and forever
You are faithful and we will trust in You
We will trust in You
We will trust in You
In You

Very. Very. Very. Nice. Am in love with it. *hums "yesterday, today and forever..."*

Valentine's Day
OK. This message goes out to everyone: Happy Valentine's Day - Whether you are alone or with your loved one.
To those who are out with their loved ones: Wishing you guys a joyous and fun time together!
To those who are single or alone: Hope you guys find love elsewhere, or find it soon!
And lastly, to those who are attached but remain apart from their partner: Praying for you guys that you will find and get together with them soon. =)
Oh, and one more thing: I ditched physics assignment le. Got rid of it after doing it last night and this morning. Heh, I still have the urge to rip it to pieces though.. Bah. Now mugging chem! =D

Physics assignment is MINE
OK I know I am going to sound very despo here, but listen to this...
Mr Lim's physics assignment is going to be my only valentine this V-day. *big grin*
OK. Time for someone to put up a "WTF" sign here. Or perhaps an "OMFG". Ya.
Siming says... "Jooyoo". Very random.
Interestingly, Mikel is trying to hit on Mr Lim's physics assignment.
STAY AWAY MIKEL. THAT PHYSICS ASSIGNMENT IS MINE. RELATIVITY IS MY DATE. YOU SHOULD STAY OUT OF MY FRAME OF REFERENCE DAMNIT. GO BACK TO GALILEAN RELATIVTY YOU NUT. =D
See, I told you relativity ownssssss. I bet you that relativity is so popular it is the best girl you can ever find in school. =D
OK. I hope you guys understand that this post is meant to be ultra-sarcastic. I must be nuts - no, INSANE, to think I own relativity. RELATIVITY OWNS ME DAMN. Screw Einstein. No wait. I don't wish to screw him. He's dead, remember, and he's a guy for goodness sake.
And I see I am almost mad. Sorry, MAD now. Thanks to - you guessed it. See how strongly I feel for my "love". I bet it gets so hot in here that it can choke you sh*tless. Ah well, modern physics, what can I say.
And I see Royston trying to hit on Benedict. What a shame. No taste. Makes me think relativity is better to date (pun intended). Haiz.
Forget it lah. I am sad. I am frigging sad. Can't help it if Mr Lim's physics assignment is sooooooooooooooooooo attractive. Staring at it keeps me occupied for the next 5 hours, which is why I think it is more productive to make a post about it. Otherwise, I would be dead on the floor before math class in 50 minutes.
And in the meanwhile behind me Abi and gang are chionging Mr Ang's assignment, which seems to be a small fry in comparison to my date.
Am sooooooo looking forward to V-day night. Oh well.
P.S: Certain facts to clear up:
1. I do not have a valentine. OK? Settled
2. I am in no way related to that damned physics assignment. I assure you I rather not know it. =)
3. The fact remains that relativity owns me. And I bet it owns more than half of the cohort that takes physics in NUSHS anyway, so it pwns us like ownage sh*t
4. Mikel IS DOING PHYSICS ASSIGNMENT in the library now. No there's nothing wrong with doing physics. It's just a matter of how long you spend on it. (btw, this is NOT sick. I MEAN IT)
5. Still don't sense the sarcasm? OK. I tell you now. It is MEANT TO BE SARCASTIC.
6. (and final point) I am officially nuts for this hour, so if you think I am still in the right frame of mind, think again. Wanna use Lorentz transformation? XD
*sick of physics* Seriously...

A breathing space
Finally a bit of space for me to breathe a bit... and think.
Today was quite interesting. Seminar sparked quite a bit of debate over how people should be punished based on the circumstances which the crime is committed. So the class ended up split into two sides: Ernest and Mikel vs. the rest. Haha... really heated up at a point. Got Fiona a tad bit agitated too I think. Hmm...
Now I pose a question to all of you: Do you think that Law is devoid of human feelings and emotions? I leave it for you to answer.
Math was sianzzor. Fell asleep in the com lab. 1st time I think... oh my gosh. Never before. Bleh.
Hmm... Valentine's day is just round the corner. Looks like this would be the 1st year in NUSHS where I go valentineless... but no regrets. Of course, considering how much nonsense I got myself into for the past two years since V-day... ahh. I am just not ready to comprehend such matters anyway, though I am 17 this year, but still...
*thinks about how I will be spending V-day stuck in the hostel mugging away to hand up physics assignment the next day*. Sigh. Oh well, I have no regret for not being obligated to someone. =P

Why I blog so little?
5 days. Five whole days. And I did not touch my blog at all. Wanna know why?
1. Staying up till 1 - 130am every night (morning) doing homework/studying for tests the next day.
2. Wrecking my head over trying to solve simple problems in assignments.
3. Sorting out my personal belongings, which are piling up in an immense mess in my hostel room.
4. Trying my best to read through whatever I learnt in class, particularly physics and chem, which seems to be a rare sight already considering point 1 is already burning all my time away.
5. Panicking over whether I missed out anything for school this week.
6. Trying to scramble out IR stuff.
7. Fretting over Outreach/debate at Gavel.
8. Wondering what the heck I am to do for Council now.
9. Vaguely wondering how much cheer prac I've missed since my commitments have been doubling up.
10. Worrying if I would live to see tomorrow...
I don't know what's wrong with me. Why is it that I seem to be pushing myself to work so hard all day, but others seem to be taking it so easy? Why? In my opinion, it's quite a miracle that my brain's manage to live through the past 2 weeks without frying out too early.
Oh and here I am "wasting my time on my pathetic blog" when I could be back at my worktable doing physics assignments. I repeat. AssignmentSSSSSSS. Smart ya? And it ain't helping if they are insanely tough and you can't do them. >.<
And for you guys not taking physics, count yourselves lucky. Oh, and don't act smart each time by staring at us doing homework and smirking, "Physics assignments, tsk tsk..." 'Cos it ain't helping, it ain't gonna work either.
I sound as if I am bitching now. Sigh. Must be my exhaustion and inability to think of any more things to blog about. Forget it. Time to sleep. Still got to wake up early to go for mass tomorrow... =X

Seasons in the Sun
Just obtained this song by Westlife recently. Find the lyrics kind of meaningful and touching... plus the music's good too - a good change from rock or metal at least. =)
Anyway, the lyrics:
Westlife - Seasons in the Sun
Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye Papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
Ah, sometimes even oldies can be good to listen too. =)

Encouragement
A couple of announcements... (damn this sounds weird)
1. Apologies for not being able to change my blogskin up till today. I simply have no time left to dedicate spare energies to this blog. Sigh. Pray that homework loads lighten up soon...
2. Thanks to all those people that have dropped in with words of encouragement. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
3. Quote of the day: Say "yes" to the Lord. =)

Temporary relief?
Haiz, for a moment I thought I could give myself some temporary relief and escape from the reality of homework piling up...
Guess I was wrong.
Back to mugging for ting xie. Darn I swear I hate chinese homework. Zzz.

Stress +++
Talk about the heat man. The heats really going on for me every night till the end of this week. Argh... same simple reason: schoolwork. Let's not even go into the non-academic fields at the moment. I've got too much stuff boggling my head now to even set my homework straight. Somehow my recent bout of tests and quizzes have all been under par, and I doubt this is going to be good for my CA this semester. Zzz...
Perhaps a quick recap of the events of the past few days would keep my sanity just within grasp for the time being?
Monday... we got to handle radioactive sources in a practical! Haha! Though technically the radiation emitted by it is so little that it is considered harmless to us. XD Finally got a chance to go back for cheer prac after so long, and it felt good to see the rest of the guys back there again I guess. Some things just don't change. =)
Tuesday: Chem prac was sucky to the max - I DIDN'T GET ANY PRODUCTS. AH DAMN. I told Mikel that it was attributed to the "water crystal" concept taught by Dr Tang in class. Heh, interesting ain't it, that people like Shaun, Mikel, Jieshen, and me got nothing, whereas Ying Zhen and nanos got hell lot of products? And those "in-between" like Ernest and Yu Heng get trace amounts? Haha I swear too much I think. XD
Taekwando is fun! Ah, I think I might consider continuing the training after this year, if all goes well... great form of physical exercise I guess. Now my legs are aching slightly from over-exertion during kick practice. Zzz..
Today! Saw Asra and Jun Le head house meeting for the 1st time - without Mr Soh! Wow must have been quite scary for the both of them, being new and entrusted with one of the.. well, nevermind. They should understand the message I am trying to convey here. But well done anyway guys! Mentoring session was OK, though I forgot to bring my pillow down for it. >.< Haha... I finally managed to draw something that looked quite cute on paper. Charmaine liked it! =) Hmm will see if I can continue to replicate it. XD
We went Kent Ridge Park for IR outfield today to see the pitcher plants and catch spiders! So fun, getting to see those red crab spiders hiding in the Nepenthes pitcher plants. Heh, got crash course lesson on how to feed the spiders too in the lab when we got back.
12:40am. AND I AM NOT DONE REVISING. SCREEEEEWWWWEEDDD!
