oh no.... my account for this month is running a deficit... lol... Go into the reds liao!!! My expenditure for this month quite high =X haha... then my income falling.... cos holidays liao... my pocket money got affected... Haiz... now have to dig into my reserve to finance my deficit... lol.... Haiz... got to faster go find a job... otherwise my reserve will keep dwindling...
Anyway... here's what has happened for the past days....
Sat was nothing... stayed at home and slacking... then sunday... went out with my cousin, mz and his gf to sitex in the evening... I wanted to get a replacement for my mp3 player.... My old one really cannot make it liao... So I thought... its time that I get a new one liao lar... After all.. I haven't bought anything for myself after the A lvl... Got to pamper myself abit mah... after all the hardwork... should really get some reward for myself :)
Then yar... bought a player at the show... 1GB flash drive, MP3, wav, wma playerability, photo viewer, 1.5" OLED colored screen FM radio... cost me 189 bucks... but think its pretty alright lar :) I quite like the player.. the only thing is that the menu quite difficult to navigate... but its okay :) It got everything that I wanted and its within my budget :)
So after that... I went to my cousin's place to stay over... cos his house nearer, I dun have to travel right across the island to go back home...
Thats about all lar... bye~

Look how industralized singapore has become... u can't take a sunset without having all the chimmeys and tankers....
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/25678405/
A pinkish sky :D this photo looks like those that u see in sentosa's advertisments :P
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/25678353/
Haha.... a fake photo :P I plucked this grass from the ground and hold it with my hand in front of the camera :P Shh... haha....
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/25678322/
A night shot at the esplanade with my camera :)
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/25678277/
:P Another one of the fake shots... the leaf is I purposly stick there one :P haha...
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/25678217/
If u are a cricket... u would probably see the sunset at this angle :P
Woho~ Yeah~ The above are all the photos that I took yesterday :D Yesterday went out with SM to take photos... he wanted to test out his camera... The big big professional kind lar.... So I brought my small small mini amature one to play along :)
He wanted to take sunset... so the two of us went down to sentosa siloso beach around the evening.... Lol... we were so out of place there... Two guys.... wearing long pants on the beach... holding camera and snapping around... lol... Then yar... we went up to one of the towers and took photos from there.... THen there was this couple down below across across the bridge... Then sm use his super 12X optical zoom... and with a little bit of digital zoom.... and we can see the face of the couple!!! lol... I can't even see their facw without my specs on lor... and yet the camera can zoom until so clear!!! Haha... wah... best for spying on other people sia... Its like u can see clearly what the other person is doing 2 blocks away lor....
Haha.... after that we left the place and head for city hall... went to take photos of the esplanade. I was surprised that there were also other photographers around... and it was't a few... there were quite alot... haha... all armed with big big cameras... I was just wondering... whats so nice about the esplanade... not sian meh... keep taking the same thing...
after that... we head for the supreme court... the old one... and took some photos... I didn't take anything cos no use lar... my camera the night scenes not that powerful...
So yar... after that its close to 11 liao.. so we took a train home....
Thats all lar :) Hope u enjoy the photos :)
Just came home from a photography trip with sm... and guess what I saw on my table...

I can get one with color screen and 1GB storage space.... Haiz... compared to a mere 2 years ago... when I bought my current mp3 player... it cost a whopping $240 for only 128MB.... really tio tok that time...

NEW RECORD!!! Muahahahahahhahahahahahahhahaha................
Yay... set a new record for the furthest distance I've walked from my home... The last time I walked like this was think 2 years ago... I walked from home till teck whye... cos that time I was walking at night... when I reach tech whye... it was rather late already... so I didn't want to walk any further.... This time round... it was in the afternoon... so I walked all the way to bukit panjang plaza! lol.... It took me about 45 mins..... Here's the route I took... haha... had to stitch 3 maps together from street directory in order to get the whole route out :P Total distance a approx of 4750m which is well... not very long lar... just like running 2.4km twice.... haha....
http://t3k.cubenix.com/recordjpeg.jpg
Haha.... :) hmm... think the next challenge would be to walk all the way to bukit batok west mall... haha.... See when's the next time I feel too bored :P Anyone wanna join me? :)

Haiz... whole day rain rain rain.... so cold... so boring... want to go out walk walk also cannot... so sian.....
Just downloaded the trial version of Age of empire 3.... heard quite some good comments on it so decided to try it out :) The trial version was good... haha... they let you play skirmish to a certain age.... The game was quite okay lar... normal rts type of game lor... but I like this game better than warcraft cos this game is also a no brainer, just like C&C... haha... u just need to know how to earn money then can liao :P This game got 3 resoureces you need to collect... food... wood... and coin... The best thing is they got a market place :D So you can trade your resources around :) With that.... its almost like unlimited resources... cos... the trees dosen't seems to ever run out... haha... so when your silver mines finishes.... just ask builders to go cut trees and then trade in the market can liao :P Other than that... you can also build your own resources growing buildings at your base... so you don't need to worry about your resources running out and the need to look for it at other places... Just stay at your base... built many of such buildings.... and... you have unlimited resources :D This problem with me playing RTS games is that I don't usually expand my base.... so its very important that my base dosen't run out of resources.... Games like warcraft... the gold mines have limited golds... so when it runs out... its when my game ends too... One more thing that I like is that there isn't much limitation to the units you can built... yeah there are limitation... but not as much as warcraft... You are still able to mass built in the game :) So thats very nice for me... cos I play game always mass attack one :P I seldom use brain... thats why I always have more units getting killed, than the units I kill....
So if you people nothing better to do... you may try downloading this trial :) or if you all got the money... go buy the game :) HAha... piracy is no good :P.... If you all no money, but still want to play the game... the the trial version is best for you :P
K lar... bye~

So yar... decided to walk around.... Cos the nearest place around is bugis so I decided to head for the national library and sim lim square... Haha.... the good things about having high rise buildings is that when you are not sure where to go... just lift up your head and you'll see something familiar :P So yar... went to the national library... first time I've been there since it opened.... The place was indeed big... and the amount of people pales in comparision with the size of the building.... Haiz... build so big for wad? waste space, waste air con, waste electricity... About electricity... haha... good thing that have escalators that knows how to shut down automatically when there's no one around... Anyway... back to the point.... The place is really very empty.... Haiz... its a waste that I don't live near there... otherwise I'll go spend all my afternoons there... dun waste the air con mah :P Somemore so quiet... you sit down there do your own stuffs.... beside the huge glass windows, then outside scenery also so nice.... Aww.... how nice is it...
After that went sim lim for a while... walk around.... can't buy anything cos no money... sad ar.... went on to the second level then left liao.... dun bother looking lar... can't afford anyway... not too long ago I was saying I'll be getting a psp right? Haiz... think won't be getting it anymore... no money sia... then still haven't found a job.... cannot find anyway cos still have to go back for paper 5... after that still got prom... and then after that still will be going to genting for a few days.... so.... cannot take leave so many time right? Other than that... I also have to save to commercialise my litbud.... so sian... haven't done anything concrete about it yet... But... its okay... I got lots of time to do so... actually... I got lots of time... only limited activities... so must ration it carefully, haha... otherwise I might feel bored and go into depression :S

Aww... just finished another anime series... Full metal panic, the second raid... It only has 13 episodes.... so little... haiz... anyway... this seems to be the second season of the anime... I didn't watch the first one though.... But... its okay... still enjoyed the anime very much.... The quality of the anime very good.... each episode 200+mb.... the usual anime on 170+mb... I love the color they use... very strong and saturated.... And somemore its done is widescreen formate :D The story line was quite okay... with little bit of violence... got one episode I kind of saw a rating for it... It's M15.... Should be the rating for japan lar.... The second episode also got half-front nudity and full back one.... Overall its very nice lar :) I give it 8/10... the bulk of the marks comes from the high quality images.... Cos the images is really much better than the normal anime.... Its like every scene can be captured as a painting... and not just a screen shot.... Oh well... the only bad thing is that its too short... should have make it a little bit longer.... about 40 episodes will do... too long also sian... like naruto... they draw until 100+ then duno what to draw liao... so the anime become very sucky.... I've stop watching for quite some time liao.... 40 plus episodes will do just fine :) Like the FMA like that :D.... but actually.... maybe the first season is longer ba... this may just be a little continuation to the story.... Haha... later then I go search see if I can find the first season.
Anyway.... today went out to have dinner to celebrate my grandma's birthday... then after that went shopping.... Muahaaha.... I got my new watch :P Haha... its the same brand as my previous watch.... Fossil... duno why... I kind of like fossil's watches... they are more unique.... and it fits my budjet too :) Bought it at 155.... slightly cheaper than my previous one at 188.... :D I love my new watch :P But the only bad thing is that its function abit limited... cos its a analogue watch... then all the stop watch and alarm function dun have.... it don't even have a seconds hand... but... nvm... it looks nice can already :P
K lar... nothing much today... bye :)

The photo wasn't taken by me... I found it on a stock photo website...

Oh well... hope you all liked it :)
this time round I've omitted links and the shoutbox... I find that its pretty useless lar.. and the impt thing is...it dosen't fit into the design....

:) Its the second day after the A lvls... feeling quite okay... not too bored though.... haha... went out yesterday for group outing to celebrate the end of A lvls... Haha... after 2 years... thats the first time where we got almost everyone in the group to go out together... The only one absent was kerling cos he had some family matters so cannot join us...
So yar... the group of us arranged to meet at orchard cineleisure... wanted to play pool there... so I met up with sen min first to go together.... We stop slightly earlier at pacific plaza to get the strap of my watch fixed... but haiz... the shopkeeper went out for lunch and won't be coming back anytime soon. And cos we are late already so we didn't wait for the shopkeeper to come back.
So yar... we walked down orchard road, then sen min said he wanted to go sony gallery at wisma... lol... we late already still want to walk around.... haha.... :S
Then after which we finally reached cineleisure... went up to the arcade to look for the rest of the people... Then we went up to play pool... And guess who we saw there? JJ Lin and Jun Yang! lol... andy was the one who spotted them... they were at a table across us... haha.... my eyes myopic so I can't see the face clearly... They had quite a peaceful game... not much people went up to them to get their signature or to shake hands... I think stars really enjoy alot of privacy in singapore... we dun have the paparazzi to stalk the artiste everywhere they go.... JJ and Jun yang were alone there... no body guard of agent around... Then hor... the place nv "pei he" them... play some JJ's songs :P
Anyway... after playing for a while we got bored and went off le... then we duno what to do with the rest of the afternoon... wanted to catch a movie... but the show we wanted to watch isn't shown there... so we made our way to lido. The movie was at 9.45... so we had lots of time to spent... after a mini dinner.. kevin left us le..... he say he back pain then went off liao... the left the few of us duno what to do with the time...
so we went around looking to tower records for ej... his friend told him there was one at orchard, then ej want to use his voucher to redeem some CDs... but we can't find the place... according to andy there was one a few years ago... but it closed down liao...
after which we got nothing to do le.. so we went back to the shop to replace my watch's strap... Haiz... my watch can't be repaired le... they already stop production of this watch liao... so sad... I only used the watch for only like 3 years? then so fast cannot use le... but nvm... old one nv go... new one nv come... lol... that means I can get myself a new watch le :P But... I haven't seen a watch that I liked for a long time already.... my current and spoilt one.... is the best watch thats affordable to me... haiz... so sad lo... I wun have any watch to wear till I find a design the I like....
Since I can't get my watch repaired... then we still got lots of time to spare... so we went to a lan shop at the end of the orchard road... and spent our time there... played CS, C&C and UT... was really very bored during CS cos all of them are pros... then me a super noob down there... no need to play one lor... duno how they snipe... so accurate one... I always die before I can enjoy the game..... after that we played C&C... haha... thats one of the very few games that I know how to play above average :D lol... cos that game dun need to use too much brain or requires fast thinking... that one is just mass production of tanks... and the best thing is... I always use GLA... then I build alot of black market... haha... then I'm super rich...... so because all the rest are quite new to the game lar... so I have a hord of army to smash them.... After one game... we went to play UT... that was the best game out of the 3 we played... lol... its almost like CS but its much fairer cos its not that easy to snipe... so most of the time we just grap a weapon and chiong at each other.... :)
After which it was time for the movie le... we went to watch dragon squard... another shooting movie... lol... as if we didn't shoot enough at the lan shop... haha... the movie was okay lar... story line nothing special.... but there is 2 things that irritates me... it has too much flash back and the scenes were shaky.... so when they are fighting... you can't really see the action... only a mess of fist and gun shots flying around... The other thing is the movie is not shot in wide screen... its the normal sized screen that's on TV... It didn't exploit the wide screen of a cinema... then because the cinema was small... the bigger one was all used to screen harry potter... it makes the screen size even smaller... oh actually there was another things that also bothers me.... there were a lot of things they just type words there to introduce the character... then hor the words so cheem... I can't read... I know its my chinese very sucky lar..... but... hehe.... :P
anyway.... after the movie it was close to midnight le... wanted to go eat supper at newton cos kevin said if we want to eat there we can call him and he'll join us... ( he stays near there) But after some considerations... we gave up on the idea... cos the transport there was very inconvienient for us.... so yar... we all went home after that lo.... me and sen min took a cab home....
and thats it.... haha... I wonder when would be the next time we get a chance to go out as one big group again... Cos after this... we would all have our own things to do... people either go army or already found a job... so I guess we won't have much chance for a get-together.....
K lar... thats all for now... bye :)
So yar... the group of us arranged to meet at orchard cineleisure... wanted to play pool there... so I met up with sen min first to go together.... We stop slightly earlier at pacific plaza to get the strap of my watch fixed... but haiz... the shopkeeper went out for lunch and won't be coming back anytime soon. And cos we are late already so we didn't wait for the shopkeeper to come back.
So yar... we walked down orchard road, then sen min said he wanted to go sony gallery at wisma... lol... we late already still want to walk around.... haha.... :S
Then after which we finally reached cineleisure... went up to the arcade to look for the rest of the people... Then we went up to play pool... And guess who we saw there? JJ Lin and Jun Yang! lol... andy was the one who spotted them... they were at a table across us... haha.... my eyes myopic so I can't see the face clearly... They had quite a peaceful game... not much people went up to them to get their signature or to shake hands... I think stars really enjoy alot of privacy in singapore... we dun have the paparazzi to stalk the artiste everywhere they go.... JJ and Jun yang were alone there... no body guard of agent around... Then hor... the place nv "pei he" them... play some JJ's songs :P
Anyway... after playing for a while we got bored and went off le... then we duno what to do with the rest of the afternoon... wanted to catch a movie... but the show we wanted to watch isn't shown there... so we made our way to lido. The movie was at 9.45... so we had lots of time to spent... after a mini dinner.. kevin left us le..... he say he back pain then went off liao... the left the few of us duno what to do with the time...
so we went around looking to tower records for ej... his friend told him there was one at orchard, then ej want to use his voucher to redeem some CDs... but we can't find the place... according to andy there was one a few years ago... but it closed down liao...
after which we got nothing to do le.. so we went back to the shop to replace my watch's strap... Haiz... my watch can't be repaired le... they already stop production of this watch liao... so sad... I only used the watch for only like 3 years? then so fast cannot use le... but nvm... old one nv go... new one nv come... lol... that means I can get myself a new watch le :P But... I haven't seen a watch that I liked for a long time already.... my current and spoilt one.... is the best watch thats affordable to me... haiz... so sad lo... I wun have any watch to wear till I find a design the I like....
Since I can't get my watch repaired... then we still got lots of time to spare... so we went to a lan shop at the end of the orchard road... and spent our time there... played CS, C&C and UT... was really very bored during CS cos all of them are pros... then me a super noob down there... no need to play one lor... duno how they snipe... so accurate one... I always die before I can enjoy the game..... after that we played C&C... haha... thats one of the very few games that I know how to play above average :D lol... cos that game dun need to use too much brain or requires fast thinking... that one is just mass production of tanks... and the best thing is... I always use GLA... then I build alot of black market... haha... then I'm super rich...... so because all the rest are quite new to the game lar... so I have a hord of army to smash them.... After one game... we went to play UT... that was the best game out of the 3 we played... lol... its almost like CS but its much fairer cos its not that easy to snipe... so most of the time we just grap a weapon and chiong at each other.... :)
After which it was time for the movie le... we went to watch dragon squard... another shooting movie... lol... as if we didn't shoot enough at the lan shop... haha... the movie was okay lar... story line nothing special.... but there is 2 things that irritates me... it has too much flash back and the scenes were shaky.... so when they are fighting... you can't really see the action... only a mess of fist and gun shots flying around... The other thing is the movie is not shot in wide screen... its the normal sized screen that's on TV... It didn't exploit the wide screen of a cinema... then because the cinema was small... the bigger one was all used to screen harry potter... it makes the screen size even smaller... oh actually there was another things that also bothers me.... there were a lot of things they just type words there to introduce the character... then hor the words so cheem... I can't read... I know its my chinese very sucky lar..... but... hehe.... :P
anyway.... after the movie it was close to midnight le... wanted to go eat supper at newton cos kevin said if we want to eat there we can call him and he'll join us... ( he stays near there) But after some considerations... we gave up on the idea... cos the transport there was very inconvienient for us.... so yar... we all went home after that lo.... me and sen min took a cab home....

WOHO!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHHA!!!!! ITS FINALLY OVER!!!!! lol...
2 years of effort all ends today! haha.... A lvls.... I've conquered it! lol... Oh well... actually I'm not really excited lar.. haha.. the feeling is quite normal... perhaps I've been slacking already :P Cos yar... right now the only thing that I'm happy about is I'm free to think about anything... I dun have to keep telling myself to focus on studies... I've got so much things I wanna do! :) Before I go into what I want to do... lets have a quick summary to close the chapter of A lvls :)
I'll give a brief account for each subject :)
GP! haha... well.. this was one of the best gp paper that I ever did. I've applied whatever I've learnt... and I have high expectation for it :) Predicted grade would be B4 :P haha.....
Maths.... Well... I've made quite some careless mistakes... but overall... this was the most prepared subject and I've attempted every question... So... I hope to get an A :P But... B would do just as fine... cos I know my careless mistakes cost me alot....
Physics... This is one subject that I wanna do well in... out of the 3 I take... I score better in this.... The paper was rather okay... I had time to finish every question.... I attempted also almost all questions... only with a few that I really don't know... so its quite fine :) Lets hope that I won't have as much careless mistakes that I had for maths... I would predict a A for physics :P
Econs.... One of my worst subject.... Paper 3 was totally screwed up... whatever that I've learnt over the past weeks have all gone to waste... I wrote back the same lousy stuffs I did for prelims.... and I guess I'll be getting back the same lousy results.... paper 1 and 2 was rather fine... So I hope I won't get too lousy a grade for it... Predicted grade C....
Oh well... thats all lar :) Everything just ends like that... On the whole... A lvls was a nice experience :) Although it was difficult and torturous... but we survived... and we've grown stronger...
This marks another chapter of our life.... Its sad when each chapter ends... but.... with each end of a chapter... its the start of a new one... Some characters would remain in the story... some would leave... But as people leaves.... there are some whom just entered the story... And these new addition would bring a host of new events and happenings that would make the story more interesting. So let us smile and embrace the new chapter in our life. :) Leave the past behind as beautiful memories and create more wonderful ones...... And so when we reach the final pages of our life story... we would... look back... and see all these events that dotted our path of life.... I wish all a beautiful end to this chapter of your life and a exciting chapter in time to come....
Okay... with every end... it follows with a new start :D Here are the plans for what to come in the next 3 months before I enlist for NS....
Firstly... I would revamp my blog :D haha.... yar.... I'll give this blog a simple facelift.... well... a simple one will do... cos I've bigger plans for this blog :P
Secondly.... I would be painting my home... Painting as is not only with one color... but I'll be drawing on the wall... This would be the biggest piece of work that I've ever drawn and would be the most intensive one as there are too much details to take care of...
Thirdly.... I would wish to commercialise my litbud :P Haha... I'm planning to transform litbud into a soft toy and sell it online... or at another other place that I can get.... Well... this is really a big investment for me... I'm planning to set aside a pool of money for this venture.... Its not much though... I very poor :S ... I dun have a rich dad to provide me with the funds :S But still I'm gonna try my best... I'll make sure that this money grow and one day... I would be able to have my own business empire :D Haha... Like what I said a few entries ago... if you have read it... I find that its really fun to make money :P HAha... Its challenging to obtain as much money as you can :D So yar... hehe... I won't be just contented with a routine paid job... I want to invest and see my money grow....
Last time I thought of doing small online trading... but that one seems to be rather risky as I don't really know the market and keep up with the news... So I kind of put off this idea for a while... that one have to wait till I get a job with a stable income then I can start trading :P Like that even if I lose a bit of money I still got a job to tide over... Right now I only for NS and earning peanuts.... ( not the $600K) one though.... lol.... so that peanut pay is only enough to support this soft toy venture...
So yar... within this 3 months I'll be searching for materials to make my litbud... Actually most of the materials are quite easy to get... cos they are just clots and cotton... the most difficult one is to get a manufacturer to help me make the star on the head of the litbud. Its not easy to find a company that will custom make plastic product at a low cost and low quantity... those kind of things usually buy in bulk by those big companies... so thats the worst problem of this venture lar... once I get over it... then there would be nothing else that can stop me :P
I also plan to sell litbud online first lar... so I'll be buying a domain and webspace.... and I'll also be reading up on HTML and flash action script code... I'm gonna set up a professional website for litbud :P And also to pick up the skills to set up a digital graphics and web design studio :P
I've also thought of marketing litbut to the indian community.... lol... cos after thinking of a while... it seems that litbud looks more indian :P haha... U know indian they got those oil lamps? Haha.... litbud looks like the little flame on the lamp :P So I thought maybe I can design litbud to fit into deepavali decorations... muahaha... lol... I guess its feasible lor :D see how ba.... if my litbud soft toys can really sell... I might really go into this :P
Haiz.... I have lots of plans... but don't know whether they will succeed or not... Time will tell... haha.... Actually 2 years in NS is a long time... And I quote this from my cousin... 2 years is a long time... make good use of it.... don't waste it away.... you don't want to after this 2 years... gain nothing but muscles.... So yar... I think its really very true... if you can make good use of this 2 years... then you would be 2 years ahead of other people.....
K lar... think enough of my blabbering for one entry.... will continue next time ba... bye :)

yes! Last second day of the A lvls liao :D Gonna have econs essays later on... after which is a big relieve for us as thats the major paper for econs... with that gone... we only have physics paper 3 tmr and econs paper 1 and 2.... Everything will end by tmr :D:D:D:D so happy! Haha... time really flies... in a blink of an eye... everything is gonna be over soon... this is really the very end already... After this... we got nothing to do with the school anymore... The only time when we will be back would be to collect our results :S Haiz... so sad right? Thats the end of another chapter in our life..... Was listening to 98.7 the other day and heard this song... I don't know if its a new song... I kind of heard it before....
"Graduation (Friends Forever)"
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
[1] -
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
[Repeat 1]
La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
[Repeat 1 (3x)]
Haiz..... so yar... k lar.. dun be too sad... haha... still got a paper later on.... :) bye~

haiz... once again... I can't seemed to study near weekends... been slacking for the whole day... only brought my econs book all around... but never really study it... argh.... only 5 more days to go... and yet I'm slacking!!! next time want to study also no chance liao ar... Haha.... k lar... nothing much.. just dorpping by while slacking :P see ya~
hohoho! its not christmas... but its friday... haha... duno why have the urge to say hohoho... guess its a very nice and joyous expression... :D well.. felt rather relieved today.... 2 of the most worrying subject are gone :D Haha... now only left with econs and physics... although its worrying as well... but I'm not under pressure to do well... For maths and gp right... somehow I felt pressured to do well... maybe cos I prepared lots for it... or perhaps people's expectation of me... actually... its not really people's expectation... is what I expect people to expect of me... lol... confusing hur? Cos no one really told me what they expect of me lar... its just me trying to imagine what they would expect of me.... maybe thats why I feel miserable at times cos I care too much about what other people think of me.....
Hmm.... thats all for now lar... going off le... very tired... going to recharge and prepare for the last 2 subjects. :D .... after that it will be over :D And I think I'll be giving this site a face lift soon :) So keep a watch out after wed :P K lar... bye~

haiz.... my back is aching so badly.... must be yesterday 3 hrs bend down there doing maths.... now I just feel so tired.... want to sleep also cannot cos it further worsen the ache... then study also cannot sit for long... haiz.... anyway... I'm feeling much better now :) except for the ache... well... just changed my perspective towards the matter... I'm now thinking about... yay its finally going to end soon :D Haha... one last paper and I don't have to study maths anymore :D :D :D :D
Haha.... it seems really fast... no more maths! no more maths! no more maths! muahaha.... so today is the last day that I'm going to study for maths... cos tmr is a morning paper..... everything would end by noon... muahaha.... no matter what the outcome would be... I promise myself to not feel sad... afterall... I've been waiting so long for this moment :) Shouldn't spoil it....
Anyway... was reading some forum yesterday and saw that for year 2002... the percentage of people who got A for maths is more than 50% and the total of A and B is about 70%... haha... that sort of makes me feel better abit... well... I surely hope that I can make it into the 50%... which is not too difficult as out of every 2 person I see... I only need to beat one :) And getting B... our of 3 people I see.. I only need to beat 1.... so considering the careless mistakes I made... I shouldn't be too far off lar... well... at least I know how to do all the questions... the only problem is careless mistakes... so hope that i get all the method marks lor :)
muahaha... so excited.. today is the very last day I'll be studying for maths liao.... so happy.... So yar... since its the very last day.... I'm gonna do my best :D bye~

Haiz... so sad.... maths is a gonner... not really gone lar... well... I think can still manage a B... but to get an A would really have to depends on whether other people makes the same mistakes or not... and whether I have anymore careless mistakes... oh well.... Lets hope for the best :)
Oh well... I guess the reason why I'm feeling so miserable is because I had too high an expectation for myself. I really aimed very high for maths this time round... duno why... perhaps its because I prepared most for it... or perhaps its the first paper of the week.... You know... in the afternoon on the way to school... then I saw all these other people from other jcs... then I will start observing and predict what grade they will get... haiz... I see them as people that will snatch my As away leh... As you know... it is rumored that the grades allocation is by the bell shape curve thing.... which means that only the top few percents will get an As... so its not a competition of the actual grades you get.... Its a competition of your relative grades... how many more marks you have than other people... Thats why I'm so sad today... I made quite some careless mistakes... so that means that if other people don't make these mistakes as well.. then I will lose out to them and lose my As...
hmm... maybe I should start to take things alittle bit easy lar... shouldn't set too high an expectation... Afterall the important thing is to get into the U and not waste my 2 years in JC...
Actually the thing that fuel me to strive for As is not to get to the Uni.... Uni more or less I should be able to make it... the thing is pride..... Perhaps because from young I've been scoring well... and so called earned some status in my family.... I can't afford to lose this place....
I think it started from PSLE... after scoring well for it... I start to raise the bar for myself... I enjoy the kind of respect I get for having good results... the kind of compliments.... but somehow... I did badly for O lvls... and this further push me to work harder and prove my O lvls results wrong... I also kind of develop a mindset that I'm better than everyone else... If other people can do it... I must be able to do so as well...
I know this kind of thinking is very wrong..... its too arrogant and I'll fall one day... but....
Anyway.... I guess I should really take things alittle bit more lightly lar... being miserable is not a nice feeling... I already did my best for the paper... and guess thats enough :) There's nothing much that I can do now :) So why should I feel miserable? It dosen't help in the situation anyway.
K lar... lets switch to something of a lighter note :)
Today... while I was reading my little booklet of formulas... I came across the formula of tan2x ... at first I didn't want to memorise it cos it dun really come out often... in fact... of all the prelims paper I did.... it dosen't even come out once... but... in the end, I though... nvm lar... since I got nothing more to memorise liao... just arga arga remember lor..... and guess what....I really came out!!!!! LOL... I was like... wa... HENG sia!!!! haha.... lucky I saw it and decide to memorise it... otherwise I wun be able to solve that question.... haha.... but well... the extra marks gain seems to be offset by the amount of careless mistakes I made... haiz.....
Anyway... I also find that this year cambridge very guai lan... They like to put a lot of marks into one question.... then they don't split it up to like part a, part b... and guide us along... for example the curve and normal question... they just write 2 sentences and smack 8 marks on it... they nv split the question up and guide us along by giving a few marks for each part.... Thats why some of the questions u need to think for a while before you start because you have to split up the questions yourself....
somemore... the 3D trigo... super dulan... They give us a hexagon paramid.... and nv draw out the diagram for us.... then have to make us draw out our own 3D diagram.... somemore we draw until very ugly... then very hard to see... very inconsiderate leh.... for those people drawing very lousy how....
Haiz... k lar.. after so much complaining... thinks that all for today... bye :) Tmr got a day break before the next maths paper.... well... I dun want to have too high an expecatation for it liao lar... in case I fall short of it and become miserable again... but do my best lor :) K lar... thats about all... bye :)
Oh well... I guess the reason why I'm feeling so miserable is because I had too high an expectation for myself. I really aimed very high for maths this time round... duno why... perhaps its because I prepared most for it... or perhaps its the first paper of the week.... You know... in the afternoon on the way to school... then I saw all these other people from other jcs... then I will start observing and predict what grade they will get... haiz... I see them as people that will snatch my As away leh... As you know... it is rumored that the grades allocation is by the bell shape curve thing.... which means that only the top few percents will get an As... so its not a competition of the actual grades you get.... Its a competition of your relative grades... how many more marks you have than other people... Thats why I'm so sad today... I made quite some careless mistakes... so that means that if other people don't make these mistakes as well.. then I will lose out to them and lose my As...
hmm... maybe I should start to take things alittle bit easy lar... shouldn't set too high an expectation... Afterall the important thing is to get into the U and not waste my 2 years in JC...
Actually the thing that fuel me to strive for As is not to get to the Uni.... Uni more or less I should be able to make it... the thing is pride..... Perhaps because from young I've been scoring well... and so called earned some status in my family.... I can't afford to lose this place....
I think it started from PSLE... after scoring well for it... I start to raise the bar for myself... I enjoy the kind of respect I get for having good results... the kind of compliments.... but somehow... I did badly for O lvls... and this further push me to work harder and prove my O lvls results wrong... I also kind of develop a mindset that I'm better than everyone else... If other people can do it... I must be able to do so as well...
I know this kind of thinking is very wrong..... its too arrogant and I'll fall one day... but....
Anyway.... I guess I should really take things alittle bit more lightly lar... being miserable is not a nice feeling... I already did my best for the paper... and guess thats enough :) There's nothing much that I can do now :) So why should I feel miserable? It dosen't help in the situation anyway.
K lar... lets switch to something of a lighter note :)
Today... while I was reading my little booklet of formulas... I came across the formula of tan2x ... at first I didn't want to memorise it cos it dun really come out often... in fact... of all the prelims paper I did.... it dosen't even come out once... but... in the end, I though... nvm lar... since I got nothing more to memorise liao... just arga arga remember lor..... and guess what....I really came out!!!!! LOL... I was like... wa... HENG sia!!!! haha.... lucky I saw it and decide to memorise it... otherwise I wun be able to solve that question.... haha.... but well... the extra marks gain seems to be offset by the amount of careless mistakes I made... haiz.....

I'm here again! Haha.... 5 more hours to maths paper le....
Haiz... this is the problem with afternoon paper... got too much time in the morning.... its like you can't study in the last minute as it will end up confusing everything that you have learn't... then you also cannot play games later you forget everything... so yar... its pretty much boring... nothing on the TV as well.... then wait until I now start to yawn liao... so sleepy... Oh well... am just thankful that I dun have to endure the torture of waking up early.... Anyway... this is the only afternoon paper for this week lar... maths paper 2 and gp all starts in the morning...
Hmm.... yar... in just less than a day... I can forget half the maths syllabus already... muahaha!!!! so so happy!!!! I hate maths!!! Maths sux... haha... actually maths is fun... until all the algebra and trigo that comes in and maths no sense.... so happy that after so many years.. I can finally take a break from maths.... Its like I spent more than 12 years studying maths? And the last 6 years is the easpcially torturing one as its when algebra comes in... the beginning 6 years in primary school was fun :)
K lar... thats about all for now... time's running out... gonna take my lunch now... and prepare to go school le... bye :) All the best :D see ya around tonight :)

haiz.... weekends wasted away... didn't study much....
When I close my eyes tonight... the next moment when I open it... it would be the eve of the maths paper1... the first paper ( excluding practical and chinese) of the A lvls.... Its really so fast.... the paper that I've been preparing for months is finally here... Its hard to accept that you spent 2 years of your time for it... and everything just ends like that.... We've endured through the hardest part of it... and finally... we see the light at the end of the tunnel....
anyway.... yar... lets not get too sentimental... haha... dun affect the mood for exams :)
As planned... I reviewed my study plan today... and it seems that there's nothing much for me to plan... Most of my papers are pretty well spaced out so I get some days in between to study and focus o n the subject.... so there isn't really a clash of things to be studied... its only the last few days that I have physics and econs together... but econs... there'snothing that you can study in the last minute... its only basically recalling all the theories and factors... so the main focus during that few days would be on physics... and I have a whole weekend to prepare for it... so... everything is more or less alright.... furthermore.... most of my papers are in the afternoon... so its convienient for me as I can take the time in the morning to slowing recall my formulas.... and not cramp everything in the night before and hope that I won't forget everything in my sleep.... or worst... make me think of all the formulas and can't get to sleep and affect my alertness the next day....
So yar... thats about all... frankly... I think I've never been so prepared for an exam before... Although I can't guarentee that I can get good results.... but somehow I feel that thats about all that I can do.... There's this voice in my head that tells me... you've done enough... there's nothing more to prepare... just go there and do your best..... I don't know if I am really well prepared.... or is it just that I've been desensitised after having gone through so many test and exams in my life... and also failing so many of them until the point that failing another one makes no difference to me....
I would hope that the first one is true... and not the second one.... Because of it.... I've been focusing more on exams techniques rather than the contents nowadays..... I've been training myself to sleep early... wake up early... and think clearly in the morning for the past week.... and guess its pretty much a success..... I'm now able to fall asleep at 10 every night and wake up automatically in the morning before my alarm goes off... which is 6 in the morning.... Then after that I'll start to use my brain from 8... which is the starting time of the morning paper.... I've also been training on time management.... especially on econs essays.... Perhaps I'll write it up here to share with you all :) If you all think that I can work... then feel free to adopt it....
For econs essays.... I've allocated 3 mins for selecting questions then 8 mins to write detailed outline for each question.... even if you finish the outline before the time is up... don't move on to write the full essays yet.... Use the remaining time to review the outline... make sure that you don't miss out anything.... cos sometimes we tend to miss out some important points when we think too fast... so witht he spare time... we can calm ourselves down and make sure that everything is written. Also... do all the 3 essays outline together first... taking a total of 24 mins.... cos it you do it outline, essay, outline, essay.... until the 3rd outline... you are not in the state of mind to think clearly already... and it would jeopardize your 3rd essay.... so yar... make full use of the 24mins... its a long time... but make full use of it... and write as detailed as possible... cos the remaining time won't be enough for you to think... if just continuous writing by following the outline you have written... you don't have time to pause and think of new points... You are just practically transferring whatever points you have in the outline into an essay... there is no time to add additional points... and you shouldn't be thinkning about additional points as well as it will affect your writing speed and you may not finish the essay in time.... the time allocated for essays is 35 mins each... so its pretty much enough to write with nice handwriting, provided that you did your outline well.... Finally, if you have calculated.... you have 3 mins left.... this 3 mins is not for you to slack.... its the uncertainty.... Time will be taken for you to flip pages.... arrange your papers... and also maybe the time may not be accurate... they dun use a timer to time you... so the clock got parallex error and time is needed for the speaker to announce the start and end of the paper....
Thats about all for that lar.... a tip for those who wants to follow the method... you might feel that 8 mins and 3 mins very difficult to keep track.... well just calculate the actual timing first... u know that the paper starts at 8... so you just calculate at what time you need to start writing the essays... So you dun have to waste time calculating the time when the exams starts.... And the test confirm start a 8 one... cos A lvls... we sure go into the hall early and wait for the start of the paper... so there won't be much disparity between the time you calculated and the actual time on the day itself. Then you can save that few minutes :)
K lar... talk so much duno if I can get the expected results or not... but well.. I just find that its a nice method and just wanna share it... so those whom didn't plan at all can consider it :)
Okay... that about all liao... its time to sleep :) bye~ See ya tmr night on the eve of the maths paper... bye.

was surfing a forum and saw this thread about yaohan.... haha.... It has been such a long time ago and I guess I was still very young that time... so the only thing that I have an impression is this!
http://www.photoi.org/share/upload/294655711/img0038.jpg
Haha... the mcdonals there :D lol.... Can't remember anything else... haiz... time really flies... Its like... I'm only 18 now... but those memories seems so far away.... Singapore really progresses with such an amazing speed. I wonder given another 18 years... what more could happen....
Actually no need to imagine... something's sure going to happen.... Orchard is getting a face lift... the downtown at marina also getting some new structures like the IR and the ferries wheel... In no time... the orchard road and downtown we know now would become something of the past.... and we would one day look at the same things we are seeing now... but have the same feeling as when we looked at the old photo of yaohan.

Its friday again.... and soon it'll be the start of the last weekend before the A lvls papers.... the kind of feeling is very weird.... Its like anxiety... confusion... worry... excitment... all mixed into one... In just a few more days... the last battle would start.... After 12 years of education.... this is it... one last lap before a 2 years break....everything ends in 2 weeks time... I can't imagine the kind of relieve I'll be feeling after the A lvls... 解脱 is the word to describe it....
In just another 2 weeks.... my life will reach a new milestone... an indication of how far I've come.... and how much further to go.... Life would probably have some significant changes... But one thing I want to say.... I'm going to miss the time spent studying.... the time in school... the time together.... and everything else about school.....
Haiz... life is like that.... the road is winding and full of turns and corners.... there are also junctions where our path cross with other people's.... some people who's path is parallel would share the long walk in life with you... while others... would just cross and go....

... 4 more days to go before maths paper le :D Yay!!! haha... that means in 5 days time.. I can completely forget about maths paper 1 le :D Muahaha!!! Have been waiting very long for the day when I can dun study maths anymore... haiz... how nice if this was the last time I had to study maths... but sadly... when go U next time... still have to study it.... oh well... just be happy that I dun have to touch it for the next 2 years :D
The plan of mock test I made for this week proceeded quite smoothly... every morning have wake up early.... so sian... but haiz... no choice... must condition my mind to think in the morning.... But I just realised that my papers are mostly in the afternoon :D There's only 2 morning paper for me :D Duno is this good or not... taking it in the afternoon also has its disadvantages... like sometimes after lunch you'll feel sleepy.... Anyway... just dun take too heavy a lunch lor...
K lar.. nothing much liao... bye...

found this interesting thing :) So I thought wanna share it here :D haha...

Special Edition :D
Ever so often... I get to dissect some electrical appliances... Muahaha... for today's special edition... The appliance to go was an electric iron.
The causes of death unknown. But before death it showed symtoms of critically high fever that resulted in fumes or smokes rising out of its forehead. It is assumed to be caused by bad insulation of wires that resulted in overheating and melting of the insulation. However, as this experiment was not to indentify the causes of its death, there will not be further reports on the findings related to its death.
The aim of this dissection was to study the internal structure of an iron, and to attempt to retrieve its core to build an electro magnet.
Here's an overview of the iron structure.
To my dissappointment, there was no iron coil to be retrieved. I had assumed it to have a coil similar to that on an hair dryer. But it only has one loop of wire around the plate. The wire was assumed to be iron as it can be attracted by an magnet. There goes my electro magnet... haiz....
But nevermind, lets carry on investigating :)
One can't help but notice a familiar brand... NEC
On the other side of this component it shows.
This is the best angle I can get with my camera. Anyway. from the second picture. We can see that it writes 220'C Therefore I came to a conclusion that this is a thermistor :) And its a general thermistor for the whole circuit. As the iron can be set to different temperature, the fact that this is not a variable thermistor would mean that there's another variable thermistor controlling the temperature. So this should be the overall thermistor that controls the whole iron incase the variable thermistor is faulty.
On thing surprising is... I didn't know NEC produces thermistors as well... haha... Thought they were some computer chips company...
Lets continue... so if that weren't the variable thermistor, then which is it? After some investigation I found the mechanism ：）
Notice the difference? The middle bob actually move up and down when you turn the knob (out of the picture) on top. So thats it :D Its a thermostat :D The knob on top is used to adjust the distance between the adjacent plates. This is what controlls the different temperature of the iron :D
Isn't it cool to learn, discover and apply what you learn this way :D haha.... So yar :D Must read my blog more often... not only u can hear me talk crap... but also can learn some stuffs as well :P haha... my blog very educational de :P lol.... k lar... me talking crap again... thats all for this special edition :D Hope you people learn some things :) bye~
