A Complete Mess

Mid Year Exams Results

2009-05-26T21:39:00.002+08:00

Geography : 70/100

I feel satisfied, having just mugged for two days and still managed to tie with someone who was able to recite the geography textbook in one week. =)

Chemistry : 77 / 100

My Secondary 2 Chemistry was badly done, getting 19.5 out of 30 marks. Fortunately, I did amazingly well for my Secondary 1 science topics, therefore pulling up my marks to get A1.

Mathematics : 78 / 100

A very very careless mistake from me resulted in 7 marks being deducted. Damn it. It was like some domino effect, first part to the question wrong, all wrong.
If I had gotten that question correct, I would have gotten 86 marks... -.-

English : 76 / 100

Very lucky to have scored well for both comprehension and summary. Most of the class got around 60+ marks and it always happens during the major exams. Weird.

Literature : 68 / 100

The teachers set the standards so high, so obviously everyone's marks was about 60+. I am proud to say I have finally scored 18 marks out of a possible 30 for essay again. It has been a long time since I got 18 marks. -.-

Chinese : 57 / 100

An easy paper and yet I did so badly. The Chinese paper 2 pulled me down a lot because I failed by 1 miserable mark. And gosh, I lost to people who were weak in Chinese. -.-
I really have to improve my Chinese...

I got 5th in class overall, which was actually quite good because I had slacked most of the time and stoned or slept during classes. I suppose I got really lucky this time to have been in the top 5 again and yes, you guessed it. I must really study next term if I want to break into the top 3.

Is It Our Fault?

2009-05-21T13:44:00.002+08:00

This blog post is on all my classmates behalf. The situation is kind of distracting and unfair to everyone. So recently, we got information from our teacher that we did badly for that particular exam. She was disappointed that my class were the second last in the level and she decided not to teach those who did badly, whereas she wants to teach those who she thinks it is worthwhile. I so happen to fall in the first category. All she does is to assign those in the first category work to do and not teach anything. In the first place, how can she do that? It is not as if we are geniuses who know everything and know how to do anything. Secondly, our parents pay a hefty sum of money every month and this is the education we receive? Wow, I will rather be in a normal neighourhood school then. At least they do teach us something there and not waste our parents' money. Thirdly, it is up to the students who want to focus during classes or not, so why sent the innocent people out to? People like Leslie, Jonathan, Yew Wun and so many more. Just because we underperformed in the exam and we do not deserve to be taught? This is seriously outrageous. Everyone underperforms occassionally and do you expect to punish these people. I just cannot stand it. Even my parents agree with me. However, I plan not to complain too soon. I will be waiting until next term and if it persists, I will speak to the head of level about it, or worse, MOE.

I Rather Be A Hermit And Stay At Home All Day Long

2009-05-18T19:54:00.003+08:00

Yes, the title says it all. I am going nuts. All thanks to a bunch of immature fools in the class. I used to be very enthusiastic about school last year until this year, when it all changed. I do not have the faintest idea on what happened to everyone's attitude, it is like somehow they changed a lot, or I changed. This fools always try to irritate me, knowing that I will ALWAYS give in to them. My mind was like a kid when I was in secondary 1 but because of the way that the people are behaving currently, my thinking changed. It is not all about fights and acting cool to gain your classmates' attention and gain respect. That is not the way in society. In the real world, people will not give way to you that easily and you can get whatever you want. However, I am giving way to you guys because you people have not matured yet and cannot think like a matured teenager. In my opinion, it is about upbringing and what your parents teach you and whether you want to learn. By the way, no offence is meant here. My parents taught me well, about stuff I should do and should not do, although I fail to do it sometimes. It is because of my upbringing that I now thank my parents for.

Let me talk about some examples here:

Today, I got hit by a flying missile. Yes, a flying missile which could have resulted in an accident, leaving me blinded in one eye. This idiot is seriously lucky that he hit my neck. So what do I want to talk about here? It is the fact that he is immature and does not think about the consequences of his actions. Did he ever think about it before throwing the missile? I think not. Obviously, I was not very happy and threw that missile back. Bad move, it was a mistake on my part. I am still trying to perfect that self-control but to no avail, although I sense that I am near there. Then, this guy wanted to fight with me and he told me that we could fight after school. Ah, now there is another mistake on his part. It is not about strength, it is about psychology or mind games. Yes, I lose on strength but I always win in mind games because if you lay your hand on me, you just get a cute little pink form.

So right after that, I decided to go back to my seat. There was this retard sitting there and when I told him very nicely that I was not in the mood, he continued sitting there, as if it was nobody's business. I knew this would happen so I was just waiting and I did not even have any intention to whack him. My class is just too predictable, they always want to irritate me and try to get me into trouble. Sorry though, I have learned my lesson.

All in all, I dread school. I do not need any counselling or whatsoever and I do not have any intentions of committing suicide, which is a totally stupid solution and a disgrace to my relatives, especially my parents. All I need is real friends, friends who will stand by you and help you when you are in trouble. Obviously, I do not have many real friends to rely on because I am in a class full of immature kids. As a result, I do not even go out that often and hang out with people.

Since I have been talking about the brats in my class, I shall move on to another topic which is related. It is about Singapore's society. The people are just seriously rude and have no proper upbringing. I happened to be taking the bus today and there was this woman trying to flaunt and walk like some supermodel and she actually did not queue up to wait for the bus. I am not very sure whether it was the same person I met a few months ago but I believe it is her. Does she know the meaning of the phrase "QUEUE UP"? Obviously not, that just shows she had a poor upbringing.

I think I may be overreacting but I am concerned for the country. I shudder to think what will happen to Singapore once my generation steps into the society. Just how major will the consequences be? That is something for you readers to wonder about. By the way, I know this post is kind of retarded unless you are able to think like me.

This post is supposed to be longer but I shall not bore you any longer...

Mid Year Exams 2009 Part 2

2009-05-13T15:16:00.002+08:00

Had English and Science paper today. English was fine but Science? NO WAY, IT WAS DAMN FREAKING STUPID...

English was quite easy except for the vocabulary section, I could not think of appropriate words to replace as I had stomachache at that time and my brain was probably half-dead. There goes 3 marks, so I can only get a maximum of 27 marks for the comprehension section itself. I hope that I will be able to get at least 21, which is kind of hard...

On to Science paper, oh my god, Chemistry is like so freaking hard for me. I did not know that I had to memorise the pH value of acids and alkalis, so I anyhow random put in number. And guess what, I got 1 mark thanks to my luck. Then sodium nitrate, I thought it was a freaking acid, but it's a salt, there goes 1 mark. The biology section was retarded, the schedule given to us stated that nutrition will not be tested, but it came out. Screw it, I did not even finish that question. All I did was to write: "Add the sugar solution to a clean, dry test tube. Then, add 2 cubic centimetres of distilled water. Shake the mixture to dilute the sugar solution". Hopefully, I can get 1 mark from this rubbish that I wrote. And yes, I did not have enough time to finish my Physics question, I was left with like one more question when time was up, gah, I just needed to write the number only. Sigh, one mark flew away. I think I might not even get top 5 for this term...

Maths and Literature tomorrow, got to go and study now. Boy, I just realised that I can play computer tomorrow because there is nothing to study for Chinese. Hooray, just endure one more day of boring exams.

Mid Year Exams 2009 Part 1

2009-05-12T13:23:00.002+08:00

Life is just ironic. Just when you expected it not to happen, then it happens, as if lady luck was smiling at you. You-know-who was on bad terms with me ever since the start of the year and here the person is, talking to me. Irony, isn't it? All I hope for is just this friendship to be back to how it was when we were both Secondary 1, when we talked damn lot to each other.

Anyway, moving on to my tests. Ah well, geography. What do you expect? The questions are so torturous and there are lots of points to write. Very time-consuming. I did not even have enough time to complete the whole geography paper and I gambled with 5 marks for annotated diagram. Also, the typo errors resulted in the loss of time. I wonder if there will no longer be any typo errors for major papers in the near future. Oh yeah, and for the question about the name of the water body that separates Malaysia and Singapore, I put the Straits of Malacca, when it is supposed to be Straits of Johor. Sigh, I think I lost about 8 marks already.

Then, Chinese situational writing after that. I wrote one and a half page, which is like so freaking short compared to my friends. Damn, I am dead. Lol. My chinese teacher is going to screw me for writing so less.

Gah, Chemistry tomorrow along with secondary 1 topics, followed by English paper 2. Ah well, got to study now.

2009-05-04T22:11:00.003+08:00

Okay, school was kind of boring as usual. It is made worse thanks to the swine flu happening around the world currently and the teachers had to do a visual scan, temperature taking and we had to adhere to the rules to maintain hygiene. Sigh, a repeat of something like SARS. Anyway, for the past few weeks, this guy has been irritating me. He tries to act and talks to me in some sweet manner asking me to forgive him, which I obviously ignored because he is not going to change yet. Seriously, most of the people in my class are damn immature, which always makes me pissed at the end of the day. Sigh, I am going to grow older if life is continuing like this.

Lessons were boring as usual. I stoned during Chemistry class and the teacher picked me to answer a question. I looked at her blankly and then started thinking. I got the idea but did not know how to phrase it. Fortunately, Nicholas was there to help me, so I am kind of grateful to him. Lessons got even more boring after recess, so much so that I actually felt like sleeping. On the outside I look awake but on the inside, I am already sleeping, my mind floating away to wonderland.

And plus, today was Australian Science Competition, which I totally forgot. The questions were are a lot better for me this time, except that I had no ruler to do the measuring question, so I had to estimate. That means I lost 1 mark straight away. Sigh. I am not feeling too hopeful about my result. The last time I got a distinction was when I was in primary 3. So there, I really, really want my distinction.

Last week, I borrowed a Twilight book from Darryl to read (Sorry Kezia, I know you have an 'allergy' to Twilight, so skip this part if you have to.). Boy, it was so nice, all the romance and suspense, that I decided to get all four books. This is like the first few books I bought this year. I do not really buy books to read but this series is just too awesome.

Exams are arriving, with just a few more days to go. I cannot really finish everything on time because of Geography, there is just too much to study. And whenever I read the damn textbook, I always fall asleep. Everyone in my class has the same thinking, except for one guy who is able to recite the textbook like some freaking human robot. Therefore, I think my results will dip this term again, but I will be placing more focus on Geography as it will be my final paper for the year.

Obviously, when exam is arriving, everyone tends to think about what they are going to do after exams. And yes, I obviously have everything planned out in my head. Mapling like mad to catch up with Dewin, which will be quite tough. Er, I know you people are out there laughing that I am still playing Maple but who cares? I will probably tour around Singapore again during the weekends, maybe this time starting from a beach. I really want to watch the sun rise but I doubt I will ever have the chance because bus services do not start that early. Sigh, there ought to be some way.

This is all for this week, including last week stuff. I doubt I will be posting again due to the upcoming mid-year exams. So i will probably post after exams. Have fun and stay happy always! =)

Sick again!

2009-04-21T19:25:00.003+08:00

Zzz, I fell sick again yesterday, with fever, running nose and cough. The same sickness again like last Monday, except that I had a fever this time. All because of one guy who is not considerate for others. To this person, you are in SJI and why are you not following one of the school's principles, which is a 'Man for Others'? That is something for you to think about and please reflect on your actions. That is, if you find out about my new blog address.

At least I am not someone like you, so childish to report to the teacher that someone is actually not following instructions. (By the way, I am that someone sometimes.)

At least I am not a crazy person like you, stalking a person home nearly every time last year.

At least I am not an inconsiderate person like you, turning on the fan when someone is already falling sick. And also, I am not an inconsiderate person like you, disturbing someone when he is completing his Chinese test.

At least I am not a over-confident person like you, study for a test and say that you know everything and when you did the test, you actually had problems solving the questions.

At least I am not an immature person like you, who stills have a high-pitch voice and behaves like some kid. Yes, I know I behave like a primary school kid sometimes but I am trying not to.

So please, for heaven's sake, reflect on your actions and be more mature. Hello, you are a teenager already, so please, behave like one. By the way, I also reflect on my actions, so do not accuse me of not doing it!

SJI UG Games Day

2009-04-18T14:11:00.002+08:00

It was not exactly fun for my teammates and I in the 7-a-side soccer. We started off badly before a miracle happened, but that's life. For your information, I represented SJAB.

Game 1: Scouts

The game just started and the SJAB team did not blend well yet. Two costly errors from the defender resulted in 2 goals , both of which the goalkeeper could not save because he was bad at jumping. I got subdued by the defenders, I think there were 3 of them marking me when I have the ball. As a result, I kept losing possession of the ball and decided to play goalkeeper in the next 2 matches.

Game 2: NCC (Land)

Probably our worst game ever. The first goal was partly my mistake for panicking when trying to catch the ball from a corner. The ball went through my legs and I hurried to clear it. The ball hit my teammate and resulted in an own goal. The second goal was worse. Some guy got the ball from a kick-in and chipped, I went too far out and could not save. I forgotten how they scored the third goal, sadly.

My team is currently in last position of the group stage and we have to win one against NCC (Air) to have a chance of getting 3rd.

Game 3: NCC (Air)

Probably our slackest game ever. Before the match, all of us agreed to chill and just play normal, rather than keeping to our tactics. A golden chance came for NCC (Air). One of them struck with such force that I could not catch it and it fell to another of their player. He kicked it but it hit the post. Anyway, I suppose he would not have scored as I was already covering the area where the ball might go to. I was getting really desperate my now so I decided to go upfield. For the people who are wondering how can a keeper go upfield, have you heard of something called an attacking goalkeeper? Then just nice, NCC (Air) had a kick-in and they took a shot on goal. It went it but was disallowed for direct shot from a kick-in. Just as the whistle blowed, they scored but the goal was disallowed again. The game finished 0-0.

Two more matches to go for each team to determine the final position.

Match 1: NCC (Land)

We were not feeling to hopeful after getting hummiliated 3-0. At the start of the match, I decided to blast the ball from the middle of the field, which was allowed. It curled to the left and went in. By this time, SJAB were revitalised and ready to come out with all guns blazing. NCC (Land) lost the ball in our half of the field and it was pumped to Marcus, who controlled it. One defender was in front of him while the ball was at his back. I ran in Marcus' direction and shouted for him to leave the ball. I got the ball and went near to the goal and struck at a difficult angle and it went in. 2-0 to SJAB! Not long later, a corner was awarded to us. Kenneth took it and everyone missed it. Luckily for us, Ram connected to the cross and jutted out his leg to score. 3-0 and NCC (Land) were desperate. They pulled 2 back, which our keeper did not bother diving. The final whistle was blowed and we were in the finals!

Match 2: NCC (Air)

The game was actually quite boring, there was not even a shot on target for either team. The game finished 0-0 and it went to a penalty shoot-out. There was only 1 try and if we miss, the championship will be theirs for the taking. I stepped forward to take the penalty against Amirul, my classmate. He blocked it and took the penalty for NCC (Air) and scored. At least I was not that disappointed, considering our performance in the round robin. Well done, Amirul and the NCC (Air) people!

SJAB owned in Captain's Ball, winning the gold medal. Well done to that team! Anyway, as I am typing this now, my muscles are aching. Damn!

Also to a certain person in my class, stop making my blog a verbal battlefield and just get lost. You keep singing your own praises and say that I myself am an actor. What bullshit is this? You yourself do not even spare a thought for other people, especially during my Chinese test. Show people respect before people will respect you. That is what I want to say to you. You can visit my blog but can you just stop using the chatterbox to say all your bullshit before I call your parents.

An Insight To My School Life

2009-04-13T19:16:00.002+08:00

School life goes in as usual for me, this post is actually about my class and I am not going to mention any names but just want to share some interesting things about them.

Okay, so here is normally what happens in class. When they do not know how to solve a question or want to borrow something from me or someone else, they will ask very nicely and with a very cute smile. They are always successful with that, even I myself cannot say no. So when I want to play soccer today, they said no. Kind of weird if you ask me. I help you and now you reject me? Is this the way that someone treats their classmates? There is this person, let his name be Jerry (no offence to any Jerry who reads my blog, I am using a random name), who is like that. When he wants to borrow money, he will talk in a very gentle manner. When he wants to decline you, he will say 'Screw off' or just be a selfish person. These actors should really join Hollywood and earn cold hard cash for themselves. And when I told this person off, he was not happy and said all kinds of bad stuff about me, just to protect himself. Haha, even my friend agreed with me.

Moving on, I just realised that most of my classmates are immature. Okay, this story is about an unknown person who spoiled a video camera box and does not want to own up. Then when the teacher demanded for an explanation or requested for the person to own up, these freaking immature people kept blaming others. I find it very stupid that they just cannot keep quiet. And also, the guy who will not own up is a useless person. Our school teaches us to be Man of Integrity and Man for Others. So obviously, this guy is not going to own up, leaving the teacher with no choice but to force the whole class to pay $0.50 per person. And that means the video camera box is worth $15, which is so expensive.

There are many more things which I can talk about. If I want to, I shall continue this post. And I just realised, have I matured all of a sudden or my class is seriously immature? I just cannot help but to wonder...

April's Fool

2009-04-01T20:24:00.002+08:00

April's Fool Day sucked as usual for me. I always fall into the bloody pranks. Sigh, I suppose I am very stupid, which I obviously am. Some idiot told me that my form tutor wanted to see me and I actually believed it. I could not understand how I fell for that lame trick...

Anyway, some of my classmates decided to prank call on random people. So these are the jokes that they used, I think...

Friend: Hello? Is this Long John Silver?

(I could not hear the speaker because the background was too noisy and we were already laughing.)

Friend: I want to order a whale meat from the Pacific Ocean. Cut the whale 30 degrees inward from the mouth. Make sure that the eyeballs are on the tongue. By the way, can you deliver this in 30 minutes?

(I think this was more or less the correct joke. I know it was kind of lame but you should have been there, my friend was actually prank calling his primary school teacher.)

Second joke:

Friend: Hello? I am calling from Nippon Paint Private Limited. You have just won a free trip to paint island!

Speaker: ???

Friend: I say again, you have won a free trip to paint island!

Speaker: I cannot hear you, can you please pass the phone to someone else?

(At this point of time, my friend decided to hang up.)

There was actually a prank call that included vulgarities. It was done by one of my schoolmates, probably the naughtiest boy in the whole level. I suppose he has to pray hard that whoever he called will not report to the police. Anyway, the jokes were all quite funny but I cannot remember all of them, as usual.

Countdown to Mid-Year exam: 38 days (I think)

Yesterday's post

2009-03-30T15:38:00.004+08:00

I have been playing Scrabble for the past one week and I was quite surprised at the quality of words I played. My Scrabble vocabulary is getting better, I suppose, thanks to my crazy idea of reading the dictionary. Anyway, speaking about Scrabble, I really hate Dewin now. The story is really long and I do not want to talk about it. All I want to say that he is starting to become an elitist, trying to act smart and all that stuff. Yes, his strategy is a whole lot better than mine, then why does he challenges words like BRONCO and ZOOEY? On Scrabble again, I still find it quite weird that SCGS wants to go solo for the tournament. But I just hope for one thing, which is that they will go to SA should they start a scrabble club.

Moving on to school, school sucks as usual, which is obvious. I had so much homework to complete over the weekends that I could not even find lots of time to play. Founder's Day is this week and I am looking forward to it. I will be receiving a prize for getting the second highest mark for Mathematics in school.

Now that Mid-Year is coming, I have lots of juggling to do. I have to study for Scrabble, Mid-Year exams and SJAB training, so I really have to plan my time carefully. I want to excel in everything but I think that will be quite hard as you win some, you lose some. However, I will most likely follow Li Wei's advice, which is to study for my Mid-Year as it is more important and focus less on Scrabble until my O Levels have finished.

As I am typing this, I just cannot help but to think about what to do so that we can be friends again.

All-In-One Post

2009-03-24T23:37:00.002+08:00

Lim Boon Heng Cup:

I think I did badly for Lim Boon Heng Cup. I lost to two 'professionals', Goutham and Wei Chen, and a more experienced player called Serene. In my opinion, I could have won those two game against Wei Chen and Goutham but somehow I screwed up. Against Wei Chen, my tiles were not that nice and after changing on one occassion, I drew 6 vowels. Bad start to the day, I suppose. In my match against Goutham, I played kamikaze Scrabble, which is fishing. I tried to fish for a bingo to narrow the gap but to no avail. I missed BEATHING in that game, which was totally weird. Last but not least, my game against Serene was very close, I lost to her by just 4 points.

Now it is time to talk about my victories. Boy, I love my wins, they help me to maximize my spread like mad, therefore ensuring that I got 2nd place. I loved my game against Cheong Cheng and Zhi Yuan, they were one the best games I played. In my game against Ganapathy, I nearly lost to him. If he had not phoneyed a bingo and instead played ISOLINES or LIONISES, he would have won by 1. As for my game against Valli, I had to apply my end-game strategy. My end-game strategy was not that perfect yet at that time but I suppose Quackle will say that I played the correct moves.

To sum everything up, my first day was disastrous but my second day was excellent. It always happens, thanks to my mind, which kept thinking about 'it'. You people get the idea. Duh. My rating went up again, which means I have to play in Division A in the Singapore Open. Oh gosh, I really have to study my words.

School:

The start of school again. Monday was boring as usual but Tuesday, which is today, was fun. During RME lesson, my teacher asked a question and some fool by the name of Amir decided to crack a lame joke.

Teacher: What were the lowest points in your life?
Amir: Erection!

*Whole class laughs, teacher also laughs*

Teacher: What other lowest points were there in your life other than erection?
Amir: First pubic hair!

*Whole class laughs like mad again*

Note: There were more jokes. I have forgotten some of them and some are not meant to be mentioned, just in case....

WTF stuff in Maple: Part 1

2009-03-17T22:44:00.003+08:00

Okay, I am pretty bored by my homework so I decided to Maple along with Dewin. We first came across Dale, which is the stupid monster in the picture, yesterday. So we (actually is Dewin, my level is too low) decided to give it a shot. Boy, this monster is so freaking tough, it is at level 50+ and heals 5k hp every ???. Obviously, we gave up after a while and headed off to Ant Tunnel.

Other Stuff:

I have not finished all my holiday assignments yet. They make me want to puke and just head to the cyberworld to play games. Anyway, not all of them have to be submitted on Monday, so I can afford to slack off for a while.

Lim Boon Heng Cup is in 3 days time. I still have not perfected my Scrabble logic, although my end game is getting better, except that I have a tendency of not being able to spot easy words which help me to score more. I have lots more to work on and hope to achieve Scrabble greatness by next year. And yes, there is this guy who really pisses me off on ISC. I wonder if he's really that good and we shall see about that during the competition. If he pulverises me, it will just make my hunger for Scrabble greatness to increase, so yeah, watch out people.

Here is a list of things that I DO NOT WANT to happen:

- Missing a easy word to lose just by 1 point.
- Oversleeping and giving away a game.
- The tile fairy deciding not to help me with my tiles. (I hated it during WYSC.)
- Getting pulverised.
- Getting 5th or below.
- Rating to drop after the competition.
- Missing easy bingos such as ALEURON, INTARSIA and lots more...

Maple Chaos Part 1

2009-03-14T16:52:00.003+08:00

I got bored playing and it so happened that there was a chaos in Kerning City. Thus, I decided to head there for some show. (Obviously I died many times.)

Here are some of the pictures:

For those who play Maple, this is Horntail, the ultimate monster in Maple. So yeah, do not be so stupid like me to die just to watch a dumb show.

The Start of the March Holidays

2009-03-13T23:36:00.002+08:00

Okay, today was supposed to be Parent-Teacher Meeting day. However, I was not selected so I had one extra day of holiday. Bleh, but this time, holidays are not that fun already. I have lots of projects and homework to do.

Zi Peng came over to my house and we had a few rounds of Scrabble. I lost most of them by like 50 points?! I had much fun playing and managed to learn a few new words. I cannot say them out just in case because there is a competition coming up.

Anyway, I look forward to Sunday. I will be roaming Singapore along with Li Wei from 8 am-8 pm, I think. We will meet at Changi Airport (!!!), then head off to Marina Centre for the IT Show and finally, to Holland Village for food. I think it will be one of the best Sundays I have ever had.

Zzz, so now, it is time for me to resume playing my computer games.

Return of exam scripts and stuff: Part 3

2009-03-09T15:43:00.002+08:00

Okay, I did well for one my languages and did badly for the other. I suppose all of you readers are able to guess which language I did well in. I got A1 for English (75) and I got 57 for Chinese, which is a C5. My percentage, excluding my Chinese and Literature results, was 80.5%. After including my irritating Chinese result, my percentage dipped to 75%. So from now, I cannot bear to see my Literature result because I know my percentage will drop even more.

And gosh, I realised I have 8 examens to do. Darn. I got to start working now.

Stupid Technology

2009-03-08T00:27:00.001+08:00

Darn, I do not know how to change my blog template. I will try to learn as soon as possible so that hopefully, there will be a nicer blog for you readers to read.

Note: It is not the technology's fault anyway, it is too advanced for a dumb person like me.

A boring Saturday

2009-03-07T23:08:00.002+08:00

Weekends are never the same for me anymore. It sucks like hell. All I do is just stay at home and stare at the stupid computer. I went to play Maplestory first, then went on to Facebook and finally, play Scrabble. I got pissed after a while, so I repeated the whole cycle until I was so sick that I decided to update my blog.

I have also finalised my holiday plans. I will be roaming around Singapore, do my projects and of course, take part in Lim Boon Heng Cup? Anyone who wants to roam around Singapore with me, tell me on MSN.

Anyway, I hate my face now. It sucks. There is a freaking big pimple on the side of my mouth, thanks to my friend, who whacked the squash ball and yes, it hit my face. All that happened on Thursday, so the pimple should be gone by now...

Return of exam scripts and stuff: Part 2

2009-03-04T19:14:00.002+08:00

I got back my Geography marks and cannot believe it. I got 20 out of 30. It may be lousy but I left 2 questions worth a total of 8 marks blank, therefore, the maximum marks I can get is 22. That means I lost 2 marks from all the other questions I did. The highest was Cheng Tong, who got 26. I did a quick calculation and found out that if I had done my blank questions, I would have caught up with him or got higher than him. Well, this is the only positive thing about this Geography paper...

I got 37 out of 40 for Maths, which placed me in second position, along with Theodore. The highest Maths student in my class was Wei Ren, who obtained a score of 37.5 out of 40. That means I MISSED TOP POSITION BY HALF A MARK!!! OH MY GOD!!! Life really sucks.

Return of exam scripts and stuff: Part 1

2009-03-03T15:21:00.003+08:00

I finally got back my Physics exam paper. I got 26 out of 30, while my friend had 30 out of 30. FULL MARKS, FULL MARKS!!! Darn. I cannot wait to see my other exam papers other than Geography, just to see how I fared this term because I was quite slack again. I had Chinese test today, which was so hard that I did not even know how to do it. I suppose I am not going to be so lucky this time.

Anyway, I really need help for Physics project badly. How do I construct the wheels for a toy car to ensure that they can go up to at least 7m on a rough surface?

Meanwhile, according to Cheah, my Scrabble rating went up by 46 to 1604, which means I have to play in Division A soon. Crap.

Millennium Cup 2009

2009-03-01T20:03:00.000+08:00

I just got back from Scrabbling and am feeling quite tired now. Just to sum everything up, my first Millennium Cup experience was quite okay, with me finishing in 2nd place. In first place was Adrian Tay, who is from Malaysia. Although he has just started playing Scrabble, he is performing exceptionally well, beating a few experienced players already. In third place was Arul, who won most of his games in day 1, only to crash in day 2. Well, below is the summary of all my games.

Game 1: Adrian Tay

I woke up late and when I reached the venue, I had 2 minutes left to play. Therefore, I decided to give him a walkover of 50 points.

L (0-1)

Game 2: Valli

She had ClUSTER for 78 in the early stages of the game to have a lead of 50 points. I took the lead with (G)ENTRIES for 80 a few moves later. Scored consistently to win the game.

W 439-331 (1-1)

Game 3: Victor Gwee

He had IsATINE for 78 at the start of the game. Closed the gap with a phoney CARINES* for 71. Followed up with JA(W)ED for 63 to take the lead. He phoneyed with NURLY* and YONS* a few moves later, which I did not challenge. I then phoneyed with GODE* but it was not challenged off. Finished the game with ELoINED for 72 to secure the game.

W 430-342 (2-1)

Game 4: Ruby Sim

Missed ATTA(I)NED and FEATING consecutively. She then bingoed with OVENING (75+5) and I replied with UNTWIRls* for 68. She then made use of the Z, X and K to score a total of more than 100 points. Tried to catch up with SNARIER for 71 but it was too late.

L 397-418 (2-2)

Game 5: M. Ganapathy

I did not really record the moves for this game because I was really quite upset about the previous game. All I know is that I had 3 bingoes while he had 1.

W 479-338 (3-2)

Finished day 1 in 3rd place with 3 wins and 2 losses. I got to win most of my games to maintain my position and secure a medal.

Game 6: Tanya

She did not come and therefore, I had a bye.

W (4-2)

Game 7: Mani Rai

I had bad tiles during this game so it was hard for me to put up a fight. He had ESCUDOs for 87 (82+5) and scored consistently to win the game.

L 307-401 (4-3)

Game 8: Herry

I had an early DEARIEs for 80 (75+5) to take the lead. Bingoed with PATINES for 71 and TAIVERS for 76 to extend my lead. Missed ABLINGS right after TAIVERS. He scored while I fished to reduce the gap between us.

W 368-355 (5-3)

Game 9: Arul

Had an early C(L)EANERS for 65 to take the lead. He replied with MASSIER for 65 a few turns later to reduce the gap. However, his reply was to no avail as I had READVi(S)E for 77 and aUNTIES for 76. The end game was nerve-wrecking but I managed to stay calm to win the game.

W 418-380 (6-3)

Game 10: Stifen

Missed LATINOS but bingoed with rETSINA for 80 to take the lead. He replied with DAUNtER for 70 to close the gap. Had a few high scoring moves towards the end to win the game comfortably.

W 414-285 (7-3)

Game 11: Winston Gwee

Had BARITES for 71 (66+5) during the middle of the game. He replied with VERSIOn/EVAC* which I challenged off. Decided to play words which were able to block of his bingo lines. He then phoneyed thrice, allowing me to score and increase the gap.

W 429-306 (8-3)

Game 12: Victor Gwee

I expected this to happen, so I was not feeling too hopeful. A very blocked board and I did not know how to make use of my tiles until he played MUTT, which allowed me to play DELA(T)ION for 61. He replied with ImAGINE for 63 to reduce the gap. I phoneyed with IONITEs* which was challenged off the board and he played TODAY for 49 to reduce the gap to just 1 point. As I had the blank, I was able to score and make sure that he could not catch up with me.

W 373-348 (9-3)

Overall, I think I did fine, other than missing a few bingoes here and there. Lim Boon Heng Cup is coming soon and as I have a chance of playing in Division A, I am going to practise and try to improve as much as possible.

Common Test Part 4 & Today's Stuff

2009-02-27T22:58:00.000+08:00

Oops, I totally forgot about this post. Anyway, I had Physics paper on Thursday. Physics was easy, so freaking easy that I wanted to laugh while doing the paper. The only real problem I had was whether I should round up the answers to 3 significant figures or leave it as it is if they are exact. If the teacher is going to mark me wrong, I will cry because of the wasted marks.

Anyway, I am kind of happy today. CCA fun and everything went my way. Except for one stupid key. The class key. It is lost and I have no idea. Shit. I can now imagine my form tutor shouting at the class committee members with her fierce looking eyes and scary face...

I am going for Millennium Cup tomorrow and will most likely play in Division A. Darn it. I will lose badly. Any takers on me going home with 0 wins and a spread of -2000?

Common Test Part 3

2009-02-25T21:38:00.001+08:00

I do not want to talk about Geography. It is one of my favourite subjects but the paper sucked, so much so that I cried. I studied so hard for the topics that are most likely to come out but they did not. After exams, I will start mugging my Mid-year subjects and will aim to get back my top 5 spot. Darn it. Screw Geography.

Anyway, check out these videos:

This is what I call a professional tennis player. Andy Roddick, in white shirt, gets angry at a bad line call and gets his revenge on a poor tennis ball with a killer serve.

Common Test Part 2

2009-02-24T15:25:00.000+08:00

Today's test was on Mathematics. I think I did well for indices but I screwed up my standard form and the bloody equation for inverse proportion, which means I have already lost 5 marks. The others were fine and 2 of the questions managed to confuse me but I still managed to complete them and got the correct answer.

Geography for tomorrow! WHEE!!!!

Common Test Part 1

2009-02-23T15:33:00.001+08:00

Today marked the start of the hated common tests. First up was Literature and I kind of screwed up. My paragraphs were ultra short so I am not feeling too hopeful about it. I just hope that I pass again and get at least 14 marks.

Tomorrow's test is on Maths. I think i am going to mess up my Indices as I am very weak in it. My Maths teacher wrote a note on my Maths worksheet saying I have not reached my potential yet. Oops. I guess I am not going to be in the top 5 this term.

If I do get into the top 5, just treat it as if I was telling a lie.

Note: I know this post sucks...

February Is Seriously Not The Month For Me...

2009-02-18T15:09:00.001+08:00

Things that happened to me during the first 2-3 weeks of February:

1) All of Li Wei's predictions came true. Damn it.
2) I keep doing badly for my Indices test. I am not going to be the top anymore.
3) I probably failed my Chinese test.
4) I was nearly late for school (2 times in the first 2 weeks of February).
5) Friday the 13th and Valentine's Day sucked a lot.
6) I have no luck in the month of February. Seriously. The gap was like 10m or 5 seconds. If only I did not buy my stupid Iced Milk Tea. Second time it happened this year. Go figure out what happened. Only Li Wei knows.
7) I am starting to suck in Scrabble. I am going to give up soon if this continues after Millenium Cup. However, I will be at Lim Boon Heng cup playing in the secondary division. I decided not to TD until next year.
8) The teachers gave too much homework. No time to revise already. I really have to mug until 11 pm and while going to school.
9) God is not answering my prayers. Sigh.

Anyway, February always stinks. There is another Friday the 13th next month. I wonder what will happen on that day...

4 more days to common test. Statistics for my revision so far:

Mathematics : 5%

Physics : 20%
Geography : 66%

Targets for common test:

Literature : 50 / 100 (I always do badly for Literature, so I do not have high expectations.)
Mathematics : 80 / 100
Physics : 75 / 100
Geography : 75 / 100

Revision For The Common Test 1

2009-02-15T22:08:00.001+08:00

Tough luck, I am having trouble with Physics. Can someone tell me, in simple English, what is electricity about? Secondly, I cannot even analyse a stupid poem because I suck in Literature.

Anyway, life sucks as per normal. Time flies slowly, wounds heal slowly... Sheesh, you readers get the idea. If you are still wondering, then continue. I wish, I wish, with all my might, that the person will stop avoiding me. Sigh.

Things will never work out in my way.

Statistics for common test revision:

Literature : 0%

This shows you that I am slow in my revisions. -_-"

Exams Coming Soon

2009-02-13T16:28:00.000+08:00

Common tests start in a week's time and I have not finished studying yet. I am still stuck with so much homework that I have no time to do it. Therefore, I am prepared to do badly for common tests. Bad start to the new year I guess.

To a certain someone: Do not try to avoid me by listening to your music or ignoring my messages. What more do you want after my apologies? Slap me? Kick me? Or do you want to kill me?

Revision Statistics:

Geography - 66 %
Physics - 0 %
Mathematics - 5 %
Literature - 0 %

Anyway, for those who followed my blog last time, sorry for deleting my blog. From now onwards, I will not delete my blog anymore.
