Update

Guess who's back? Boo. Me.

Well, hadn't been updating for a while. Still kind of missing Korea and all of the people there. Maybe that's what people call 'in a trance'. I didn't take back much.

Just memories. o.O ?

Update

Updating so here I am :P. Today, I woke up early at about 7.30am and went to the HSBC Treetop walk. Its quite near to where I am staying so that wasn't a problem. Went with my mum and sister. The trail was kind of muddy after some weird drizzle. That wasn't much of a problem either. We walked uphill till it was really getting quite tiring. Stopped at the nearby ranger station to take a rest. :Þ I was suprised at the number of people who woke up so early in the morning -- the range station was crowded and there were lots of chattering.

After a short rest, we continued uphill and finally reached the treetop work :P . More of a suspension bridge though. The bridge swayed a little when I walked on it. The scenery was brilliant and I can even see the Upper Pierce Reservoir (is it the correct spelling? o.o). Well, we had to walk back to the car parked somewhere near civilisation and again we took the same route. It was terrible... The drizzle came on and stuff. Oh wells.

Went for a cup of Milo and some roti prata at the Kopitiam somewhere further before returning home. Whee.

Update

I'll be leaving for Korea after a few days..

That reminds me...Christmas is coming.
Its on the news, on the streets, everywhere..
Recently I went to orchard road and the city was rather crowded. There were lots of decorations and everyone's prepared for this festive season. Luckily this year I will not be missing Christmas :P



(I hope that the image above appears. This is the first time i tried putting images on the blog =.=)


I made a brochure using Photoshop and submitted it for Term 3 PS assessment xD.
Wonder what it will be like this year... Christmas Tree? Great food? Huge family gathering?

xD xD xD xD xD xD xD

Trip to SSC

Welcome to Channel News Zaisia.

Moving on, in today featured news...

Met up with Ivan and we left for the Singapore Science Centre. Long time never go there liao. But I still can remember the main structures and shapes of the buildings. There was this water play park and it looked like fun. Ivan had some Omnitheatre vouchers so we exchanged them for tickets. After catching lunch at McDonalds (which was un-crowded wad) and drumming around, we went in the theatre for the show. It hadnt changed =.= still 5 stories tall, which made me feel that I was about to fall everytime i look down. There were 2 movies showing --- one abt the deep sea creatures and the other about Mars. It was titled Roving Mars actually. So we chose that one. It looked more interesting anyway. There wasnt much people, and the show tooked about 40 minutes. Roving Mars was cool, featuring how the NASA scientists managed to get a rover vehicle on Mars. It was mentioned that the process took 7 months. They overcame the various difficulties, and eventually managed to send 2 rovers on Mars, named Spirit and Opportunity. These vehicles did their job well and discovered that there was water on Mars billions of years ago, a sign that lifeform could exist.

After the show, we strolled around and then Ivan's dad came to pick us up. I caught a lift XD.

Well, for more information, there's this webby, presented by Walt Disney Pictures.

PSLE RESULTS OUT!!!

Anyways, a few days ago, on 23/24 November I forgot which, PSLE results came out. Every year sure got ppl get abv 280 one. Well, perhaps they're muggers. Ok, this year the highest was 281, scored by someone from Raffles Girls Primary. Gratzzz. My sister's results came out too. It wasnt that bad -- she scored 262. I have a feeling she wants to enroll in NYGH next year. :S The students who got sick in the exams also achieved reasonable scores, and some of them scored hgiher than their expectations.

***Happy Birthday Kia Wee***

*beep*

On 24 Nov my sister went to watch movie with her friend, which is also our neighbour, for her birthday. It turned out to be Happy Feet. =.= There were a lot of advertisements and most of them are advertising for Happy Feet. Even received some kind of a piggy bank for free popcorn gift. My dad and I went to Bukit Timah Plaza to pay for the overseas trip in December. (more abt this later. stay tuned.) We walked around and found a store selling Malay Food, so I bought a bowl of noodles. Crapping XD. After that we went back to the GV Theatre, then after that, back home.

Today need to wake up early to practice piano. Oh yes, and Zacko informed me abt the class outing. So tt's another reason to wake up early. Haiz. So i practiced piano till it was time for my lesson, @ Coronation Shopping Plaza. Anyway I live near so I usually cycle there. 1215 hrs and it was over. Fun. :P My piano teacher gave me extra lessons. :::::

It was noon. Argh. Had lunch at home and slacked around. Then... time for class outing!!! Left house for Vivo City. When I arrived there were some communication problem, and I couldnt find where the rest were. So I just walked around keeping a lookout for them. Oh ya, I noticed a few things abt Vivo City that kinda changed since my last visit. First of all, there were weird people doing stuff like dancing on a elevated platform, dressed up in green uniforms. There were also people in yellow suits riding on some random scooters scooting around. Should be a promotion of some kind. Green and blue mesorangers were also juggling stuff and putting on quite a good performance which attracted many. Managed to find the class eventually, but one thing was that only abt 5-6 people turned up. There were ppl like zack, lkh, kai, shawn and cavin and me. So we proceeded to the cinema, but the Happy Feet shows are all fully booked till 6pm, so we had to switch to a cool 3D movie. It was not bad. The thing about 3D is that sometimes it make me flinches. Like for example a guy in the screen punches u. Presented by Walt Disney Pictures. btw, the show didnt start till abt 4 so we went and watch some random Hello Kitty show. There were some kids who volunteered. The contestants are supposed to follow the actions of the Hello Kitty and other characters', and the last person was supposed to win something. But there were a few contestants left on stage. So there was a vote and in the end, if im not wrong, a boy named Zack won. ... The others were also given prises.

Movie was great, shall nt eleborate further. Went home after the movie and reached home @ abt 6.40. Then I started spamming gb till 8.30 and blogged till now. Time flies.

This year I am going overseas to South Korea for the holidays. Will be leaving on 7/12 most likely and it will be spanning a week or so. Recently there were outbreaks of bird flu in Korea though. Hope the trip will not be affected, though there will still be the risk of having to go for an injection before departure to immune oneself against this virus.

That's all for now. BBB. going to watch I not stupid tooooooooooo le. BBB. :P

TeH hOls

Holidays are seemingly cramped with lots of stuff and activities.

Just a few days ago, I met up with the council mentors, Mr. Ben Lee and Mrs Koh. Haiz. Almost overslept and stuff. Waited for a while though. It was rather sunny, especially in the morning. I just found out that I hadn't bought my books for next year. Arhg.. Haiz. So I went and purchase the books... =.= Ok, the books aren't that heavy as I thought. Let's see.... Advance Physics for you, Biology Matters. Chemistry Insights, and Additional Mathematics. Yeesh. All the cheem books. Hmm. The crucible is kinda out of stock so it wasn't purchased. All the books look super uber* thick. It seems that Sec 3 is going to be a uber tough year.. lalala. Come to think of it, we musn't judge a year by its books.

On the other hand, first impressions matters a lot too. Ok im crapping.

Sigh. Ms Foo will be leaving us after 2 years of dinofication. :( wonder who willl be our next year' FT.

Go Figure.

ToO QuiEt?

Communication.Interaction.

It is in the school holidays that I realize that I hadn't been interacting much with my classmates. Haiz. I guess I am a little too quiet in class. Guess its a little too late now. Recently I read a couple of blog entries and I often wondered what I was doing for the past 2 years. Two years of academic studies. Two years of opportunities, and I let every opportunity go by. It is this aspect that I wish to work upon. In the future, I am going to be more outspoken. Hmm. Something like that. This is going to be one of my goals for the upcoming year 2007, which is also an improvement that I will have to make.

That's all for now. Currently drafting out the class testimonial. G'day everyone :P.

Holidays

I am back to blogging after some time. This post will cover mainly what happened during the school holidays, and what I am going to blog about soon.

Firstly, I realised that holidays are meaningless without company, excluding my bed. So I checked the EMB for something I could indeed doodle about. Ok, i chose SMRP (science) for the special programmes next year. It wasn't the best choice around, but I am quite happy with it. Second choice was EP. Entrepeu-thingy programme. Perhaps I wanted to try something that's new. Actually everything is new to me. Nevermind. I duno why I put that either. What I know is that Taylor chose EP, and Pnghy chose BSP, which is exactly what brings me to the next topic.

Most likely 2L will be split up next year. OK, there's no banquet that never cease. end. Whatever you call it. And no worries ever end too. But forget that. I must say I treasured the time in 2L. With all of the 2Leans. Whee. Time flies faster than a brick. Come to think of it, I hadnt been in touch with many people since the holidays stared. Only ppl like lkh, andric and taylor. Sigh. Diwi perhaps. (gaming spree...)

Since I forgot the next topic that I wanted to blog about, I will automatically skip to the next one -- about the iCouncil 'n iCMG retreat to Cameron Highlands. Most people didn't go for the retreat though. About 4 people from 2L went. Sigh. Anyways it was great. We stayed in Strawberry Park Hotel. My room-mates were Lester and Benjy. Cool combination. We spent 2 nights in the hotel. I slept at 10pm on the first night and 2.30am on the second night. Ok u can call it morning.

For this week, there will be nothing to look forward to, probably except playing com games and staring at the poker cards I bought from Cameron Highlands. Argh. Anyways I realised that friendships improve somewhat in the hols. lol gaming spree o.o I have become better friends with several people in 2L. Whee. That's a good thing.

That's all for now. I doubt the readership of this blog but anyway its a personal diary. Oh dear. That reminds me of the NYAA booklet that I have stashed randomly in the blue coloured bag I always bring to piano lessons, for my teacher to sign and give comments. Which is like early time to hand up NYAA. oh wells. I will be writing a class testimonial soon, probably around this week or so, and also blog about the retreat at Cameron Highlands in detail.

I wish everyone a happy and fruitful holidays. =)

EOYA

Today's EOYA, short for End of Year Activities. We went to watch the movies, and have a choice between either Singapore Dreaming or Inconvinent Truth (I think). I bought a mega-size popcorn combo and finished it all up, with the help of some others. The movie was nice, except some parts which made the movie (SD) seem as if its a TV drama. Anyway I had a great time watching it. Its located at Vivocity, and its newly built. Some stores are still under construction. The environment there was fine, with a hole-ly ceiling at the drop off point. Later on I discovered that there's a glass or plastic layer that covers the part that is not covered by the concrete, making the shelter a creative design without compromising its usefulness. There were some mix up during the course of the event, but overall its a great job. Keep it up Wei Jing, and the OT.

New Post

Ok, today is a Sunday. I slack every Sunday. So I slacked today.

Woke up late today (about 10am). Went to read some books about some random stuff. Then I switched on my computer.

Gunbounded with Kah Hong. Lalala. I was using nak then switched to other vehicles. But I feel that I am still the best at nak. Did some lucky shots and 400-500+ damage. zzzz most of the time kh won. whee

Somewhat addicted to gb till about 3pm, where my relatives came. We chatted a while then I went down to the playground. playground? o.O
Tried some pull-ups but failed.

Came upstairs to blog. Come to think of it, we'll check our exam papers tmr. Hope I can get at least A2 for Chinese. Well that's the only subject that im confident in. And good luck everyone too for their results!

Exams

Whew. For now, onedownfourtogo. hope i can pull through geog and history. not really worried about chinese.

gd luck everyone!

btw. happy bday ivan. whee

3 October '06

Woke up at 6.30am today, and was late for school. It was quite rush.

Science was the first period. We went to the library for Chemistry and found out that Physics was also at the library too. cool. Fooled around with the library catalogue.

Watched MOV video during Lit, and its quite nice. The video time extended to a little pass 9.40am but it was ok.

Assembly was about the panel discussion, and when it came to Dah Wei's satire there were many responses. Some of them were quite emotional about the whole issue and felt strongly against the satire. I felt that the satire did pointed out some facts that we could improve on. nvm.

Double period by Mdm. Shieh. Chinese was great except that I spent most of the time slacking around. Then she told us to memorize about 5 sentences for the mo4 xie3. *shock*

Hanged around in the sch library for no particular reason. Read some books and doodled around. Went back home at 5pm. That's all for today now.

Revision Craze

Today was fun. Though it was like Sc, then Lit, then 3 Ap then double shiehls.
In the assembly we went through the different special programmes that are offered to us at Sec 3 next year.

Maybe Sec 2 is indeed a year of making choices. We are given options and eventually everyone ends up in different classes. I think I will join either SMRP or EP. Still debating over which one is "better". All I know is that Pnghy has his mind set on either BSP and LEP. Taylor wants to go for EP I think. Sigh...

Now for the upcoming exams. I duno what to do nowadays except erm.. mugging. shud be. Now the revision season has begun. or is it began? nvm. So I just came back home today and decided to do a little makeover. Changed the skin to a boring and old theme. At least its btr than the default one. lol the barchomee man.

In order to prepare for the History mock test tmr, I will stop writing. gd luck everyone for their exams. =)

Sec 2 Camp

I know its a little late, but nvm.

Secondary 2 Annual Camp 2006

Actually I am not looking forward to the camp. =.= Anyway, on 23th of August, we set off towards the camp site in a bus, called 'Saribum Scouts Camp' if im not wrong. Im sure im wrong though. Our class got separated for the bus trip there (but fortunately not for the entire camp activities), and I went with Class 2C. When I arrive there, I find teh entire place enormous. Ok, somewhat large. It looked like a jungle for me, because everywhere I looked there were grass and trees.

We began setting up our tents after the long briefing by the camp instructors. The type of tent we set up was ridge tents. The group Lollipop were supposed to set up 4 tents. 2 people have to hold the sides of the unfolded canvas, put a pole underneath for support, and wait for the rest to finish hitting the pegs deep into the ground. Guess its a little hard for the ground =S. We tied strings to the pegs and went for lunch when we finished everything.

I find the camp food plain but quite ok. There were about 3-4 dishes, followed by a random fruit of teh day. Sometimes it was bananas. Sometimes it was apples. We have to wash our own plates after the meal, and the nearest toilet was very crowded indeed. I couldn't squeeze through the crowd to get to the tap. zzzzzz.

After lunch was the hike. We have to go around searching for answers or checkpoints, and they are located around the district, but still, the distance was quite long. Some people picked up suitable brances lying on the ground to aid them in walking the long distance. For me I picked up a twig o.O. Then I kind of decided that the twig was no use so I threw it away. The value of water rose throughout the hike, due to the inavailability of water. There was a water parade to hydrate all the Lolliporeans. I figured out that we were one of the few groups that went all the way to the final checkpoint, near to Sungei Beloh. The camp instructor gave us the answers for erm... im nt sure, but I think its courage and strength. Towards the end of the hike we were singing a song about bottles falling off the wall. It went like this:

Let x be a random number.
(x) bottles hanging on the wall
(x) bottles hanging on the wall
if 1 (random colour) bottle should accidentally fall
there will be (x-1) bottles hanging on the wall

At the end we ate dinner first because we impressed Kala.

There were some night time activities, and on of them got something to do with blind men. We blindfolded ourselves and walked in a chain, which means holding the shoulders of the person in front of u. I remembered going up and down. zzzz. Whee. fun . After that we discussed a little about the item we were supposed to present on campfire night. It was getting late as we washed up, and the washroom was again, very crowded. And a little stinky.

When I woke up the next morning (in the tent) , people were already rushing off to eat breakfast. So I was a bit late. Oh, there was this morning exercise thingy. I still remembered Bobby's (camp instructor) quote "Hands on your waist, Feet apart, exercise ready!", and we were supposed to call out "ready".

I think the first activity of the day was River Challenge. It was definitely wet, so I wore the extra shoe which I brought. It goes like this: someone jump in the pond (milo?) and swim accross to tie a string round the tree, so that there would be a line stretching accross the river. Then people will start sitting on the raft and pull themselves accross the river. We made the raft, and all the Lolliporeans got accross safely. At the end only Bowie was left on the starting shore, so we all sang the Bonnie song.

Oh bring back my Bowie to me . Lalalalala.

Next wass nature rumble. Many people shudder at the name of the activity but I do not know why, till that day. Stuart (our instructor) led us to some random door at the back of the campsite, and we were out at the open. That place was really a jungle, with some lake and tall trees. We followed the small and narrow trail, and it went fine till there was a descend into a little pit filled with mud. It didn't smell nice. o.O The tricky part was to climb up the stone ledge, as it was very slippery. It required teamwork, and all were fine except someone who had to rest due to a cut. The conditions got worser, and the mud got higher, till about up to the knee, or maybe much higher.

Lunch was about the same, then it was time for teambuilding activities. I am nt sure of the order, but there was this spider webby which is full of holes. Big holes and small holes. Cavin went first to the other side and helped other people through the holes. lol. I don't think I could even squeeze through the biggest one. There was the electric fence too. The idea was to carry people safely accross the electrical barriers, made of strings. We went to this big see-saw, and tried to balance ourselves. We almost made it. Just then Benjy came.

There was also a Standard Obstacle Course. I may miss out some.

1) Low Wall.
The low wall is easier than it seems. I climbed up the wall and did some victory dance(err.. forgot what exactly it was, involve swinging the arms). There was a high wall in the army camp too.

2) Handle bar
Not sure what it's called. Anyway it involves a lot of strength. As it is slippery, we skipped this section. Kah Hong sustained an injury though =(. There was a cut and he had to go to the hospital to stitch it up.

3) Suicide Window (or is it swiss window?)
The aim is to swing over the metal thingy using your hands. At first I thought it was quite scary, but in the end it was quite fun. Ppl like Nel and me were doing it over and over again.

There were still others like Jacob's Ladder. Reminded me of Jacob's biscuits. It was under maintainence i think.

We had dinner afterwards, and washed up before the campfire event. So when it came, I guess that all of us were ready. We sat at the place overlooking the Milo Pond. The campfire was good, and most of the groups' items were nice. For the Lollipop, we sang the bottle song and some other stuff. It was quite late when the event ended.

Finally, the last day of the camp. We packed up the tent and went for breakfast. Afterwards, we took the bus back to school. It was certainly a memorable experience.

New Post

Today was Sunday. Sunday marks the end of Term 3 and start of the September holidays.

Woke up at 8am today, ate breakfast and read books till noon. Took about half hr to finish my second entry of the NYAA.

Slacked at home till 6pm, doing mostly nothing. Includes sleeping, playing table tennis, reading etc.

Went with my family for an evening swim at the nearby swimming pool. It wasn't very crowded. By the time we went up it was 7+, thus we were feeling a little hungry. So I was like walking along the road when I spotted this nice-looking prata cafe named "Mr. Prata". We went in, and I bought 4 roti pratas.

On the car, we realised that there were about 3 pratas in the takeaway bag. zzzzzz...
Scammed of a prata.

New Post

Today we had this fun trip to Sungei Buloh. We visited some walkways, and it was really muddy. I spotted the mudskippes, the crabs and some other organisms living there. Also, from one of the pavillion whom Andre had assiociated with civilisation, we can see Malaysia, and it was a fine sight; the skyscrapers and the sultan palace.

They said there are crocodiles in the river but unfortunately I did not manage to spot any. =( Nvm. We went to a small shelter (im nt sure of the correct wrd) and tried to spot the birds flying about. Taylor claimed to have seen a blue bird. =.= It was nearing noon so we went back to the entrance. I bought a double scoope ice cream for $2.50. Nelson and Jia Jie shared a dish called "Golden Fries", which is actually...fries, sold for $3. I guess it was a bit expensive and not really worth the money. Ok nvm. In the end everyone tried to kope a bit of the fries. Also, on the way back to the front entrance, we started to pick up the big rocks and threw them in the river. I don
t think we're supposed to do that, but it was fun. =.= Hmmm.. Cavin threw the furthest.

Ate lunch in school and went back shortly. Sigh. Many many stuff to pack for tmr's 3 day 2 night camp. Shall be missing my wonderful bed. So far I have cramped almost everything i need for the camp. Hope its going to be fun.

New Post

I figured out that I should update more often. =)

Nothing is happening much at home during the test days. Hmm, 2 more test to go. I must study hard or else it will pull my MSG down.

Recently my sister's friend gave her a present for i duno what reason. I came back home after some activities in school and guess what I saw - a big seashell, roughly about the size of your palm. More of a conch I think. Its rumoured that when you place the conch near to your ear, you can hear the sound of the sea and the waves. The thing is I can't. My sister saw me fiddling with her precious shell and took it back. zzzzz...

I think I will continue the class testimonial now.

#12 -- Zachary

Quite a popular person in class. He always get good grades as well, and the soccer fan in 2L. A sociable person too. I guess he is committed to the iCouncil as he is in the ExCo. Last year he was in my IRS group and I find that he works well in a group. He used to initiate a soccer match at the back of the class last time. Hangs around with Kah Hong and some other people. Went to korea for IVP and got a distinction =).

As I have to revise for tomorrow's test, I shall stop typing. :P

Update

I will be sleepin' now. bye

btw i just got my new specs

Update

Actually i blogged in school today, but my post was deleted for no reason, probably of the internet connection - it suddenly went bonkers. In this post, i shall continue the class testimonial...

#6 -- Jerrold

He is part of the class CMC. As the class treasurer, he collects money. WHEEE!!. Quite responsible but i can't really judge him yet. I duno why also. Often hangs out with Cavin and Nel and Swee Kiat, if im not wrong. Cheerful all the time.

#7 -- Xuan Cheng

The Wu Shu guy. Skilled in both studies and martial arts, he wields the sacred dagger and strikes randomly. Ok, I duno whether he learn dagger or not. Getting along quite well with the shark recently, and from shark's blog I get to know that they are quite good friends. A nice person to talk to, especially if you don't talk crap (which i do all the time). Friendly and responsible too.

#8 -- Hong Nan

I must agree with shark that he has evolved into a walking encyclopedia... Randomly mutters some science facts of interesting stuff that he has encountered in the day. If you can initiate a conversation, you'll find him quite nice to talk to actually. Although being known as the science nerd in class, he is also friendly and takes responsible in his work. Known as the Science Rep.

#9 -- Kai Li

My IRS member. I find that he has improved in his speech. He improved a lot from last year, when sengwp asked us to introduce ourselfs for 3 min (omg i still remembered). Kiwi, as he is now commonly known, improved greatly and is more outspoken now. Well, he has evolved into a more confident person definitely. I guess about 1 and a half year of shaping really helps. Quite responsible in doing work too, from what I know during IRS sessions. One thing I noticed about him is that everytime school ends at 1.30pm he will rush back home o.O. I guess that's his preference.

#10 -- Dah Wei

Widely known as bigtail. Assiociated with a squirrel. He is cheerful and do quite well acadamically too. Very sociable and friendly, but much of a spammer nowadays. If im not wrong, he spammed me about twice on msn. Also, he's from my former school (Nanyang Primany School) which is nearby. Maybe that's why I know him quite well ever since start of school. He looks familiar at first, but I noticed that he's also from nanyang pri when i went back and looked at the P6 photos. zzz. A soccer pro also.

#11 -- Kah Hong

I visit his blog everyday. Some of my classmates have nicknames. Just like shark. chairshark. That's him. Quite a humourous and cheerful person, about the same as Jay's entertainment level. As our class chairman, i guess that he has many responsibility to play. Also the first classmate that I met when i came HCI. He is generally active in any class activities and enjoys blogging. Gets along well with people.
