You Are a Good Friend Because You're Fun

You are energetic, amusing, and always up for a good time. Optimistic and genuinely happy, you help people see the sunny side of life. And you're always up for a party... no matter how big or small. You're usually the first one to celebrate a friend's success. Anyone who's interesting or fun is welcome in you circle of friends. You're not the type of person to exclude or make fun of someone who's a little different. Your friends need you most when: They're down or depressed You really can't be friends with: Anyone who's stuck up or chronically unhappy Your friendship quote: "It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."

What Makes You a Good Friend?

That's all for now. Wishing to see everyone back after the holidays =D.

Happy holidays everyone!

p.s the music at www.orisinal.com is great.

Photography

Recently, I took an interest in photography.
Some of the pictures can be really lovely, with shading and proper camera light exposure. The pictures below are taken from a website, http://www.tawbaware.com/maxlyons/, and I'll love to acknowledge Max Lyons for these amazing photographs.

New post

Can't believe my bicycle's front tyre punctured while im on the road. Yup, it went flat in about 11.23 seconds (given to 4sf, of course) and I had to wheel it back home. u know, that wasn't the perfect thing to happen while ur cycling for a few kilometres exploring ur neighbourhood, but i guess that will have to do.

Perhaps i'll bring my bike to the repair shop nearby.

Nanyang Primary Official Opening Ceremony

The holidays crept in slowly. Recently I was searching the old cupboard for any random stuff when I found this CD. It is about Nanyang Pri's official opening of the new campus on 6th September 2004. So i watched it on my com. The video featured all aspects, such as the arrival of the GOH PM Lee, who was an old boy of Nanyang Pri, and the lion dance, and nanyang kindergarten cheerleaders using pompom. Too bad they didnt feature the Chinese orchestra in the courtyard. XD I was playing yangqin btw. so cant see my self being two and a half years younger. I managed to spot some of my old primary school friends though.

Actually the CO was featured. there was a live telecast of the CO performance =D. to the hall. lucky it didnt rain.
It does bring back fond memories.

Blogthings

This post is mainly about things koped from blogthings. =D

You Are a Little Messy

You aren't the cleanest person in the world, but you're definitely not a slob. You clean up when you have the time, but you're realistic about what you can get done. Generally, you're pretty organized and tidy - though you may have a few hidden messes. You eventually get around to making things spotless, but you do it on your own schedule!

Are You Messy?

You Are 2: The Helper

You always put on a happy face and try to help those around you. You're incredibly empathetic and care about everyone you know. Able to see the good in others, you're thoughtful, warm, and sincere. You connect with people who are charming and charismatic. At Your Best: You are deeply giving, altruistic, and humble. You devote your life to others while caring for yourself too. At Your Worst: You are manipulative and enjoy making other people guilty.

What Number Are You?

Update

Results came out for some of the subjects.
Pro results.

I got C5 for Mathematics. Its not good news, though I hope that the next 2 terms can somewhat help pull up this subject for exemption. Mdm Tham left for her maternity leave, and hope she's well. There's a teacher to replace her, and she is Ms Sally Lim. Friendly and also eager to teach, but sometimes I don't understand what she is saying even after she explained the concepts. Ok, so our Maths test will be in week 10, so next term 3 AU, probably more stress.

Chemistry was not bad, a B4, though no improvement from the previous term, but the pop quiz pulled it down to a C5. A1 for Chinese.

I think I am more chiang in humanities for this term, duno why, though i got A2 for physics fortunately.

Update

Yay! Holidays le!

Hmm. Well, today there's the council assembly. Reached school at around 1130hrs, together with pnghy, and went to LT2. Quite a formal yet informal session. there were reviews of past events which occured this year, and the various OSes gave a summary of the pros and cons of the events. First up was Han Yong, the OS for EOTA Term 1. Ok let's see... EOTA for T1 was a little screwed up at first, everyone was confused about what to do, and there was a mix up, but we did enjoy ourselves. Next was CNY 07, but unfortunately the OS Jia Kun wasnt present so AOS Yi Yong went up. General comments by Mr. Ben Lee: last minute work, rushed proposals and planning was disorganised. perhaps more things to arouse the audience. peel the orange wasnt audible.

After the council assembly, which is also the 3rd council assembly of the year, as clearly stated on the Powerpoint slide presentation given on the council assembly itself, we left for lunch @ Coronation Plaza, the Golden Rooster. Food there is great thus/but the queue is always very long. Some mix up here and there. The bus ride to ECP (East Coast Park) was long, we had to switch buses. We also had to walk for quite a distance before assembling outside an auspicious looking Burger King Restaurant, which unfortunately stirred up my appetite.

Well, HY, Taylor and I went into Virtual World, which is an arcade. I was wearing the council shirt, and fortunately I brought along a Tintin shirt. Played Time Crisis 3 for a little while. It soon began to rain, and it was no ordinary drizzle; rather a huge downpour. Took a bus back home soon after that.

Oh btw there's going to be this Sec3 Hwa Chong Institution Boarding School Experience. We're scheduled to check-in on a Sunday night. Come to think of it, maybe I do have to pack all the textbooks and subject files in, which is going to fill up at least 2 mega size luggages that is, i believe strongly, going to be very light. argh.

Update

Its a Saturday night. Rained about a few hours ago, and theres a thick stack of books on my table.

Im blogging late at night. Well, not exactly late. There's a birthday party upstairs (i live on the 2nd floor). I can hear the bday song.

Sec 3 life is tough. everything's in a mad rush now.

Update

Ok, so its another 147 days before the official release of the Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows. Recently I browsed through several fansites of HP and managed to dig out quite a lot of information. Now im wondering whether Harry is a horcrux. Oh btw, I went to dumbledoreisnotdead.com and it redirected me to beyondhogwarts.com. lolz. looks like the fans managed to believe that the headmaster is dead.

Anyway, school wasn't that bad today. There's a temp taking exercise but i forgot to bring my thermometer. =( Then there was PE after English. But i think i will get A1 for English. xD confirm de. This term screwed up results le. I think my current MSG stands at 3.6, counting in 8 subjects.

Haiz, I will have to work hard for Biology and some other subjects. Looks like its going to be a tough year ahead.

Happy Belated CNY all!

Update

Having IHE in the morning was fun. I signed up for History elective for IHE, so we gathered in the classroom of 3J and Mr. Slim (Samuel Lim) discussed about why Shang Dynasty was regarded by Historians as a civilization. It was both interesting and boring. I was told that:

- I must have a good command of English Language
- I'll get the polar bear roar from slim if I didnt analyse enough.

I find IHE lessons interesting. Probably because of how the lesson is carried out. But next comes Chinese.

Ok, so Mr. YangWZ came to Singapore many years ago. And he has a good command of the Chinese Language. Zhenghao shared a news story about some hmm... issues. I forgot liao -.-
Anyway, we have to finish a zuo wen by tmr. YangWZ sure has high expectations.

Recess ate at poolside as usual. Meet Bowie there who was drinking coffee.

Physics practicals. A bit fun. We watched a ball of metal swinging to and fro for about 240 oscillations. Some ppl miscounted. some ppl lost count. lolz.
During Mathz, there was nth much except the usual going through of WS. Sometimes its a little boring. Hmm...
Its English! ok. Ms Yong came in and we started to discuss serious stuff.

Lunch.

Back to lessons. I even got the Imperial thingy.
Leefy came in abt 5 mins after his period. Lolz. many things happened. i shall nt eleborate. but i would just like to say...

that 3O 2007 is quite a good class after all to be in.

Eventful Weekend

Let's see...

I finished the Physics WS, Maths WS (left a little bit), bought my test tubes and the Chinese assignment.

Went to badminton training on Friday and a few things happened:

1) My racquet string broke, so I passed my racquet to coach for re-stringing
2) Saw Cavin having track training outside KKH
3) Slacked a little
4) Went home..

Boring.

I think im screwed. I only wrote 500+ words for the English Commonwealth Essay, which was supposed to be 1000+. I havent touch on the History Essay yet. =(

Downloaded a un - errorful pokemon leaf green rom and spammed it till I deleted it. Yeesh.

Go Figure.

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.
