Hi, I'm now sorta posting every once in 2 days...-_- Anyway, our final CCT, History, was over yesterday, finally! I didn't manage to finsish the last part of the hisotry paper though, where you had to elaborate on the breaking of the Dutch monopoly. I knew the answer but I just didn't have enough time. I must have spent too much time on the essay, 35 mins out of 40 mins? WTF. Look at what happened to our visualiser screen, it got owned by "don't know who"...
If you can't see it clearly, the top corner of the screen has been ripped and when Mr Pang pulled it down, we blamed him for "breaking it". Before any of the CCTs on week 9 started, Yen Ming wrote random stuff on the event whiteboard.
Obsessed with death??? -_-" He keeps writing stuff like GGXX and RIP. Although he's around 178cm tall, we like to call him SHORTY YEN MING! Especially Nathan, king of suannage. Speaking of king of suannage, Kah Aik is the ultimate king. He suanned Ryan two in one! This is what he said, "Ryan, remember to project your voice upwards". Identify the 2 suans. Suan 1: Ryan you are short, project UPWARDS...Suan 2: PROJECT YOUR VOICE...So, Kah Aik has double suanned by saying he is short and soft! No offence Yarn. On Thursday, I also realied that the view down the spiral staircase is extremely nice and cool!
Quite nice right? The stuff down there is the pond. I took this from the 3rd storey of the senior block, where the computer labs are. Outside the com lab, looking down also has a nice view. Its like a quadrangle like thing.
Mr Soon, our com studies teacher is extremely funny sia. He's seriously the best teacher you will have. He is able to make a joke out of every single thing which we come up with! Best! It was the last lesson for Term 1 on Thursday. So sad. During our last Physics lesson for Sec 2, as next term we'll be moving on to Chemistry. I took some photos of the cool batteries.
When we were connecting the circuit, I don't know why but spark really flew and the sparks weren't small one, they were huge. It was really scary. They were almost as huge as those sparkler stick sparks. Coming from a battery? Yikes.
Then, we had fantastic packing skills of the wires. Very artistic! (right, Jonat?) Just joking. We eventually packed it properly. Today's best lesson was History as we were only going through the in-class source-based assignment. I scored 12/15! Second highest score in class! Woots. Certain people had their score increased form 8 - 10 and one guy even from 5-9! From a fail to a pass? How luck is that?! So, since after the going through which was only around 15 minutes to 20 minutes, we were allowed to slack. So, somebody took an orange skin which we found lying on the floor of the corridor and put in on someone's head. (name not said for privacy)
But of course, we all had a good laugh.
Mr Janus Lim, one of my favourite teachers as he's uber-friendly and only scolds if absoloutely necessaryXD So, that concludes Term 1 for all the Sec 2s as they are gonna have Malaysian Montage, 5 of us, form 2H, will be staying in Singapore. Good luck guys, with Malaysian Montage. jyjy 2H! Also, wish me luck! 3 of my matches are gonna be played while the batch is away. 2 of which are crucial games against ACS I and ACS Barker. The 2 ACS schools.
Good luck to us and to you. Together, Raffles.
P.S. We didn't really have a match today against RJC...I don't know why.

Hi, I'm sorry for not having any pictures today as I forgot to take any...I just got back My Chinese CCT today...I screwed it up. 26.5/50...just passed by 1.5 marks???WTF?! Nathan got like 36/50...imba sia. Then this new guy called Zhenyu who just joined our class at the beginning of this year, got 48/50 for Chinese! OWNED Tony's a**! That'll teach Tony to stop acting smart all the time XD Science CCT today was ok, but I think I messed up question B4 on refraction and critical angle. I knew how to do it but I just couldn't remember...sheesh! Today's ;essons were all really fun, especially Geog and Philo, the last two periods of the day. Geog, index numbers 21 - 30 had a debate on GM Food and we had to take down notes, uber-slack. Then for Philo, we were talking about ethics and the different ways we perceive ethics to be. We had 4 choices. I chose ethoic is following the standards of behaviour that one's society accepts. Around 8 people, including me, chose this. 4 people chose Ethics is about following the law, 2 people -_- chose Ethics os about religion and the rest of the class, around 14, chose Ethics is about what you feel is right or wrong. So many... So, final CCT tomorrow, History, most difficult besides Chinese. Finally, got to this website, http://redsports.sg/waterpolo-groups-fixtures-results/ and see my name! 1 more paper to go...jyjy!

Hello, Today at school was a super fun day, except for Math CCT which was quite easy but I messed it up -_-" I didn't finish one fot eh questions 'cos I dunno how to do it and part c of the last question as I had no time left. Bonus question was not attempted. So anyway, first period was Maths. We were going through error analysis. Oh, then our famous break the clock treasurer bought a newer, bigger clock, which is ten times better than the uber-small one.
It's not very clear 'cos I was seated quite far away. It has a silver rimming. Then I took a random pic of Guan Hao, the "GEP" form Ai Tong.
After he found out that I took a pic of him he whole day point middle finger, -_-"
After Maths, I went out of class and took a picture of our secondary 2 senior block quadrangle.
It's not the complete quadrangle but who cares? Then Jonat was strangling Nathan over I don't know what...geez
He already stopped strangling him in this picture. But he was, as you can see Nathan the guy in front, trying to get Jonat's (big head) hands off him. NO, THEY ARE NOT GAY YOU SICKO. Oh wait, actually they are happy. English was taken over by science. Science today made me furious. I shall not go into the details. Let's just say my anger came about a misunderstanding by you-know-who. Then during recess, it was the first time I ate Chinese Mixed Rice! Super nice sia. I will start eating from there more often now. After recess was Oral Comm where we recited our poems in a Poetry Slam way to Mr Lord. We did My Butterfly by Robert Frost as our previous poem was too short. At Nathan's oral comm class, Sanat was like changing the lines of a certain poem. It actually went like this, "Landlord, Landlord, my roof has sprung a leak, don't cha blah blah blah" Then Sanat changed it to, yup, you guessed it! "Landlord, Landlord my roof has sprung a leak. Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me!" WTF. Excerpt from the Song Don't Cha by the Pussycat Dolls -_- After Oral Comm was Chinese, don't bother going into details and finally after lunch where we went to Rj and I saw Zhengning, a finalist in Campus Superstar 2, it was ART! Uber-slack 'cos our actual teacher was away on reservice and some relief teacher came in. OWNAGE! I took many photos in Art.
This is how the Art Studio looks like. Then Greg was jamming some pencil into a sharpener until it becam imba short. Look at this...the pencil on top is an average pencil's length and the length the pencil was before sharpening and the one at the bottom is after sharpening.
WTF. Then Sanat had a bet with Guan Hao to see if I would make the WTF sign if he sang don't cha to me and acted gay to me. I did the WTF sign and Guan Hao had to pay Sanat 1 dollar. WTH. I should invent a WTH sign...
Greg was totally jamming the pencil into the sharpener as you can see in this picture. LOL.
Then this is a imba nice piece of calligraphy work done by someone in Li Fang's group I think...Lastly, here is our completed Raffles canteen picture. It is supposed to be on cubism.
BeforeAfter
It was a combined effort by our group though, although I was one of the slackier ones. I only did 4 pictures while the rest did 5. After art, maths CCT and finally, polo training XD
We did 20x2 breadths and then did some passing, cross-shots and finally played a three-way match. Three teams. So we took turns playing. Ervin whole day mark me, so I became dam noob. I think I scored 2 or 3 goals. Then after the match we did 10 sprints although I was slacking for 4 of them >.<
Yup, that's it for today, have to go to sparknotes for tomorrow's ERP book test. I'm doing Oliver Twist.
P.S. I'm going Sparknotes to revise not for last-minute stuff...I'm no slacker.

Tomorrow's gonna be maths CCT and I can't say that I'm ready but I also can't say that I'm not ready. I'm somewhere in between. I'll start blogging about yesterday...
23 Feb
I woke up early in the morning to a sumptuous breakfast of roti prata...my all time favourite! But that happiness was short-lived as I had to go for Mths tutition less than 5 minutes later. Sian. Maths tutition is quite fun, actually, but sometimes because I just don't feel like it or too tired, I'll find it uber-boring. I did Addition and subtraction, simplyfying and equations involving algebraic fraction. So much algebra sia. My tution ended at 11am and I went home, ate lunch, watched tv, chased "certain people" for my geography performance task, missing out on my precious sleep. In the end, I only slept for around like 10 minutes. Anyway, after sleeping, I had to go for church for Saturday church classes (aka cathecism classes). I ponned assembly by going toilet, it was actually quite urgent. During class, we had some debate o n ethical issues and the other team debated on euphanasia (mercy killing) and we debated on...HOMOSEXUALITY?! WTF. Oh, Shane also came late and he was wearing this super cool black collared, long sleeved, striped shirt. He claims he just came from a wedding. Anyway, Shane's reaction to the topic can be described by this picture...
He was hysterical. We combined classes so there were around 35 people altogether in the classes. This is the front of the class and the guy in yellow is Aloysious (dunno how to spell), whole day point middle finger -_-" and as you can see, Shane is still laughing...
This is the back of the class, and though not obvious, Shane is still laughing in this picture, I'm sure laugh so long. After class, Jesmond acted dam dumb, he go and throw a piece of chocolate and Marc's face, Marc was dam pissed and Jesmond was like zaoing, Never see Marc so pissed before, sheesh! After cathe class, I went home and started to sleep like siao. Slept for almost 2 hours. Then, I had to chase the same people again for their work for the Geography performance task (dam irritating sia). At night, went for dinner at some Teochew restuarant called Huat Kee Teochew Restaurant or something like that. Look at this uber "cool" motorbike I saw outside the place.The bike is like decorated with tens of sunflowers, I thought it was really weird, but it must have taken the owner a long time to put it all on. Gratz to the owner of the first ever sunflower motorbike! In the restaurant, there is this lift that looks like a wine cellar, look.
quite cool eh? The restaurant food was super nice, despite me going there a lot of times, the food never fails to impress me.
We will. After dinner went to my aunt's house, after that, saw this huge house outside my aunt's house...
Some of it is blocked by at tree. Went back home and stayed up for 90 minutes to chase the two idiots who were owing me Geog stuff. Then, went to sleep at 11.45pm and my day ended there.
Today
Woke up way early to go to church, only with 6 hours of sleep under my eyes. Went to church at 7am, ate breakfast at 8.20am and finally went home and started to slack, again after chasing those two idiots at around 9am. Those two idiots finally gave me their work today, after exceeding the deadline I set for them by 3 days...-50% (for those in RI, you know what I mean). Went for bowling classes and played 2 game, the first with a score of 170 and the second with a score of 153, average 161.5. Not bad for a noob bowler like myself. Came home, ate chicken rice from Pow Sing and bid my father farewell as he goes for a two week long course in the States. I'm gonna miss him. Then, practiced my maths for tomorrow's CCT and finally, for now, I'm here blogging. A personal comment, Martin Taylor is an idiot,he totally gged Eduardo's leg during the Birmingham vs Arsenal match which Arsenal drew 2-2. I'm not a fan of Arsenal but I still pity Eduardo, his leg is what allows him to play soccer, no leg, no money. Hope you get better Eduardo. Martin Taylor, hope that was all a big accident. Ciao guys.

Yeah, today was super fun..only 4 periods in school...4 hours of lesson plus 2 hours of lesson was uber-slack. Woke up this morning with a dying urge to go back to sleep after I stayed up for about half an hour just to look for my trunks. Eventually, I couldn't find them so I just went back to sleep. Quite sad, they were new trunks and I only wore it like four times :( (It's not school trunks). First period today was CHINESE! Nobody really paid attention except for some China guys, especially Tony...imba China guy. Haha...look at Tony...
No, he wasn't sleeping during Chinese...I took this when he was sleeping during a free period another day. I didn't take his face for "privacy reasons". Anyway, the reason why nobody paid attention was because Chinese CCT was just over. So nobody cared XD I also realised that I am like mugger for Chinese...then still so noob...
Not very clear but basically, I am one of the REALLY few people in my class that bother to highlight chinese stuff. My class chinese results is like...totally failure. So, next period was MATHS. Yay! Maths is uber fun...to me of course. The recent Maths assignment 1b, I got 18.5/21. Not bad seh. Improvement form my previous score for assignment 1a, 3/14. FAILURE. Then I went to look at Yuxuan's score...20.5/21. What do you expect from somebody who's sister was a relief maths teacher in RI? So Mr Dean Ang went through the usual routine, but costantly reminding us that Maths CCT was on Monday this time. Sian, mugging continues. After that, RECESS! By the way, look at this definition for recess I found on the web.
RECESS = Richly Enhancing Our Children's Education by Sharing Skills.
WTF.
My defintion of of recess is
RECESS = Repeatingly Enjoyable Class Eating Session Sometimes
WTF.
Recess reminds me of the time when we were playing truth or dare and we dared nathan to touch yunfeng's hair. For those who do not know, Yunfeng is a judoka and we do not know why, but his hair is SACRED. Touching his hair = DOOM...I tok a video of Nathan doing the dare...and what Yunfeng did to him, not very clear.
The rest of the video is deleted...CENSOR!
After recess, art and RE...re needless to describe. Art was very wierd. I became super high and started to play around with a 60cm long metal ruler in the art room randomly shouted "WHA ZHA!" at random classmates. Oh, and my art group was like playing with the UHU Stic Glue in the art room. Geez. That's it for Art. Must hand in group project on Monday. After school, I went to eat at macs with Amos Tan. Then went for polo training at 215 at s****ed everything out. LOL. Waterpolo training consisted of different kinds of shooting today, followed by a lot of 6 on 5. Came back home and my mum told me that my swimming coach signed me up for 1500m and 800m freestyle. OHMYSON. Together with 3 other events! @#$%(FISH!) Then came home and played GTA on my PSP for 'bout 50 minutes. Later, I need to go and do some maths...geez. So, before I sign off, I'll show you a poster at my tuition cente...Novel Learning Centre, it's where I take my maths tuition on Saturdays and Science on Thursdays.
The words aren't clear but it basically says that Ideas will always remain Ideas unless you put them into action. 100% true.
P.S. I'm gonna officially quit RT on Monday. Not that I really was into it anyway XD
EDIT: I accidentally deleted the video. That is a video of Slau singing last year at Rafflesian Spotlight. Enjoy, anyway. Sorry for inconveniences caused.

English CCT was just over today...it was quite okay except for some short-answer questions which were rather difficult...geez...I hope I do well. Anyway, today some random guy in my class tried to hack into my phone but he got the PIN code wrong three times, for those who know, resulting in my phone being blocked. Now, my father has to call Singtel and get a PUK code to unlock the phone. Whoever did it was too much of a coward to admit that he did it. During Com studies today, we were extremely joker. We kept going to random websites instead of mugging for English CCT on sparknotes, unlike some muggers in class who shall not be named. Today's geog was uber-slack because we just had to do a debate. Of course, some people in my group were not very prepared, like me, resulting in both groups crashing and burning. Then today, we also found out that this guy broke the class clock and when he bought a new one, he bought one half the size of the original clock...geez. History was also very fun as Mr Janus Lim is our history teacher...for those who don't know how he looks like...he looks like the late MC King. So whenever he comes to class, we always shout,"MC!MC!" After school and after English CCT, we had to go to LT2 for some Malysian Montage briefing. I'm not going for MM so I went to LT2 for a briefing on what we will be doing during the one week. Quite sad la...cannot go for MM. The itinerary seems quite fun. Later I have to go for science tution and prepare for my maths CCT on Monday. Sian.

Hello...another short post today. I have to go and like complete my homework so I might be staying up quite late tonight. Actually, it's quite sad that Mrs Mabel Toh is on medical leave. We will be missing out on some of the topics which will be covered for CCT. Anyway, I guess I just have to take it in my stride and jyjy to the end. Yup, that's it! A longer post tomorrow!
P.S. I changed my skin 'cos the code for the navigation skin was extremely messy.
Tuesday, February 19, 2008
After a very...very long time, I have decided to get my blog up and running! Thank you to the designer who has designed the skin. Quite nice. Ok, so, please tag! If you are wondering why I used the designer's tagboard, it's because there is a complex table code within the cbox. Thanks for helping me tag in advance!
