Chinese sucks...

If I were to choose the teacher career path, it would only be unless I get the PSC scholarship, if not no future for me... And then I'll work in MOE for a while, and I WILL push for the dam 2 pts bonus for higher chinese to be removed...

This 2 pts is equal to 4 years of hardwork in ur cca... Just by obtaining a paltry pathetic C6 for higher chinese in a 2 hour exam. It has affected me, but I don't care now since VJC is a great place. But seeing it affect juniors, and others it's just so bloody unfair.

It can make 2 ppl of the same calibre go to JCs of very different standards, ultimately affecting one's future.

It can make a difference between

RJ and VJ...
VJ and TJ...
TJ and MJ????

I was quite shocked actually... But then again expected... Ppl with 7 pts.. 7 pts!!! Who can't come VJ just becuz they don't indulge in a complicated mess of slurred words we call chinese. Instead, they go TJ. Still ok... We also have smart 6 pointers who can't even apply to RJ/HC...

So yup. I'll push for the 2 pts for higher chinese to be removed. Of course, if I choose to go the teacher route...

After today's scholarship talk, I realise that prestige, getting scholarships, is not that important if u dislike ur job... Maybe 5 yrs later u'll be happy becuz ppl would like envy u for getting that S$1 million scholarship to yale/princeton... But maybe 10 yrs later u'll regret it... Not wanting to sit behind a desk everyday formulating government policies...

So for now, NUS Medicine... If I fail, go to a US uni and chill out...

OMG!

Like OMG! Do u know what I'm doing? I'm like blogging at 3pm on a weekday!!! It's been a long long long time besides the holidays, well, even the holidays that I can do such a thing!! ZOMG!!!

And I slept at 11pm yesterday!! I think I know how le... Don't keep on going out and play in band room... But that's so xian haiz...

But hey it works! It's like 3pm and I'm at home...

Oh well... Tmr's the first lecture for H3, I'm so excited haha...

Yay

Haha, today and tmr will be super GPish lah... Today had 2 periods of GP in the morning where we learnt basic grammar.. Teachers in secondary school always seem to assume that we have perfect grammar, like oh pls... Grammar is taught in primary school, where no one freaking listens to the teacher!! Like who cares what a gerund,superlative or article is...

Anyway, had 2 hours of GP tuition at School Of Thought, where I met my long lost friend there haha... My ex-swimming classmate... The teacher's nice, and my class is apparently the 'Better' class since my class slot is only for the 'Better" JCs... HC, VJ, AJ, DH... Intimidates me a bit...

And tmr, we have 2 periods of GP in the morning despite being chinese new year celebrations.. Ugh...

And in the midst of this, I'm mugging vocab liao... My vocab is so darn limited and pathetic... + It helps in GP compre, essays, and SATs... So yea...

Oh well, back to studying vocab....

OMG So much work!!

I think that this year, JC2, the last year of my life in school uniform, will be the most hectic year of my whole school life. But I hope through the intense mugging for A Level, Common Tests, SATs, H3, SYF, and random competitions to boost my pathetic CCA record, I would find this year the most fulfilling year ever...

Sigh... My last year as a proper student... Sigh...

Things to juggle simultaneously

1) My 4H2s.... Maths and Econs are killing me... Chem and Bio rocks!!
2) GP... It sucks xia... hope tuition would help me
3) H3... It looks super hard... Hope it's fun though...
4) SATs... Intense muggin for this from now till april..
5) SYF... My part's easy, difficulty depends on the timpani we're using... Plus I don't think I'm a very good SL, will try to improve...
6) Random competitions... Such as MOF Debate, NEFMQ... Will try to sign up to boost my portfolio... Being in band is great! But it's hard to get achievements individually...
7) WMC with MSHS Alumni? Basically I'm risking A LOT if I go...

And in the midst of all these, decide on my future... Haiz... Should I...

1) Go NUS Medicine and become a doctor?
2) Go US college with teaching scholarship and become a teacher?
3) Go US college with DSTA/A*STAR scholarship and become a researcher?
4) Become an investment banker, chiong $5m+ by 30 and retire?
5) Go US college and major in science, and then see what I wanna do?

Hahaha.... Sigh... Life is so complicated... Oh wells, back to doing work...

Anyway, today was fun, seeing most sec4s again... Today is probably the last time I'll see all of them together in a long long long time... And once orientation is over, I probably can't do these kind of things again for a long long long time...

Oh well...

Stress?

Hmm, band's becoming more and more like secondary sch band and that's not really a good sign... I hated band to the core back in sec sch, and was quite nice to know JC band isn't liddat... At least last year it wasn't... Sigh......

Anyway, academics is as bad.. Like omg, my class studied during the holidays!! They did homework too!!! Like omg, when Mr Lau went through the chemistry homework, like so many ppl understood... Like OMG... I'm going to start studying soon... I hope, like I never studied yesterday or friday hahaha... Went home after band and slept all the way!!! Slept from like yesterday 6pm to today 9am...

Aim for CT1, B AAAA. Haha, basically, we should keep improving, so I should improve my GP. I already signed up for GP tuition... Hope I can improve GP... Getting a C for english is just so so so weird la, I mean it's my language, how can I get a bloody C... Ah well...

And yay, we got through the econs debate thingy... Now to research on bailout plans!! Hope we win the finals!!

New year coming, have to get my contacts ready and start sourcing for ppl, and reestablish my network again hahaha...

I have decided to take SATs... Becuz my plan is this.. If I don't get into NUS medicine, then I'll just go overseas in US and just chill... I wanna do what Daniel wanna do too! Take a year out after NS to tour the world, like OMG! So fun... I wanna that to be my job too haha...

My dream job:

To travel to different countries all over the world.

Closest possible job:

Geologist,Geographer,Tour guide,Documentary person, Photographer of Documentary person... And of course, become an investment banker, earn about $10 million by 30, and then retire...

Lol... Dream on bitch...

Yay!

Yay.. I always look forward to tuesdays becuz that's when I can watch my favourite shows!! Both shows were great! I guess the month long wait made it even better, can savour it more...

I teared for both shows, especially desperate housewives, omg it's so so touching... So sad and so touching.. Makes me think about my life and life in general... Ahh...

Anyway, tmr got no school.. Like omg, I'm really pissed that this week is so so inefficient la.. Like my chem/bio lecture, I was really looking forward to sitting 2.5hr in the LT5, so fun can? Listening to chem/bio for 2.5 hrs! End up is some rubbish thing la... Xian diaoz...

Ahh... The more I think about my future the more I worry xian...

Monday, January 12, 2009

Lol

Lol, today was so fun, first day of school yay! There were no lectures though.. So it was mainly bandroom bandroom bandroom. Tmr will be fun! OMG There's like bio and chem lecture like together, so imagine sitting for 2.5 hr at LT5 under the air-con listening to science lectures going on and on and on hahahaha... So cool!!

But today was also the release of O level results... Some ppl did well, some not as well. But whatever it is, these few days is the time to play ur cards well, choosing the right courses and in correct order, and researching for the approriate JCs and courses. I hope u juniors will think carefully and do not be influenced by ur peers!

Apparently I heard MSHS did super badly, becoming Band 6... Lol, my batch pushed from band 5 to band 4, if now really become band 6 that's just really sad... But then again, I think this time round O level is harder, like a lot of ppl didn't really do as well as what I thought they would...

Sunday, January 11, 2009

Yay

Yay! A great way to end the holidays, my having my first time bowling!! Yay so fun, I bowled for the first time ever! Unless u count those bowling at the arcade, the 5 meter one... Anyway, my first time I got 58 and my second time got 78 haha!! OMG I'm like so proud of myself!!

And then there was this biatch... We were like playing cards and sitting in a circle of some ulu ulu spot where no one walks. Then this stupid biatch came over and like stared at us? I said ya? And she never reply... Then she just walk away... Like what a biatch... Then she go bitch to like 2 security guards who came to ask us to leave.. Like wdf? Just tell us la bitch, act listen to mp3, act got class... ZZZ... Ok I'm obviously biased but who cares? This is like my blog hahaha... Gosh...

Anyway, me and rachel got like 238!!!! For the basketball game omg!!! I think I k now how to throw a basketball liao, u have to like throw it up, and not like down...

Yay... So then I went popular to try to find a file for school, but I couldn't, like wdf.. wasted 40 mins... Becuz I stopped at serangoon, realised I had to buy a file, and took mrt to kovan... Ended up going home empty handed... So yea, tmr I'll go sch with an ugly and unglam file... And I can't go see O level results release at marist becuz I got econs meeting... Oh well...

Good Luck to all sec 4s I KNOW taking O level results tmr!! haha... It's like so fun la OMG... I wish I could like take it all over again and live this whole year all over again... There's so much stuff I wanna redo... Like taking chem olympaid instead of bio... ( Chem O awards 100+ gold,silver,bronze medals while Bio O awards like 10+ ? plus the fact that VJ dosen't help it's bio o students), take H3 Science Research ( Becuz it really helps my science knowledge), taking geog instead of econs ( volcanos, earthquakes yeah!) sigh...

But no matter.. These failures and setbacks in my life make me treasure life even more... My testimonial may be like shit, no achievements and stuff, but there's always 2009!!! So yeah!! 2009 woot!!!

Friday, January 09, 2009

Yay?

Ok, today is the official last day of the Youth Research Program at IBN... Lol.. I was supposed to be attached for 16 days... But I ponned yesterday I think.. So 15.. It was fun though, working with people who are all Phd ppl, and talking about cheem cheem stuff.. But, boy, does it hurt one's pride when u find out that many many other ppl ur age owned ur ass upside down...

Maybe the consolation is that I don't plan to become a research scientist, so I'm not all that involved with science and stuff.. Maybe the consolation is that I only had 15 days to research, so the stuff that I did was not as good as others who had months, or had H3 programs or other stuff...

What am I talking about? Well, the other ppl attached had to give a presentation together with me la, and boy, they were good, fantastic. Esp this NJ guy who is like Ingmar's friend haha, he talked so so fast, but full of substance and stuff... Ahh!!! I am so owned lahz...

Oh well... At least it's good to know that there are so so so many ppl out there who trashes u in everything... Music, academics, general knowledge, personal skills, and bla bla bla that u will always strive on and improve urself... There are so many areas that I can improve in further and I unfortunately am not doing so.. Well I guess one downfall always leads to u rediscovering urself again. Ok... Enough emoing...

Thursday, January 08, 2009

Yay

Haha today was the first time I went kbox... Anyways I went with 4B.. Um like 1/8th of 4B.. Anyways, it was so funny becuz u all know I can't sing for nuts... Anyway I think I sang

- It's raining men!!!
- I will survive
- Thank you for the music
- My humps
- Lemon Tree

and a few songs from westlife and some weird chinese songs which I sang with the others... OMG so funny la... Becuz it's like all so out of tune and clashing and stuff...

And this sunday I'm going bowling for the first time with percusion peeps hahaha...

Yay!! No work done so far.. I still need to do organic chem haiz!!

Wednesday, January 07, 2009

Yay

Ok, attachment at A*Star is ending this friday with a 5 minute presentation.. I just did it in like 10 mins lor hahaha.. Nvm, tmr I shall edit and edit until it's perfect. But I'm known for beautiful background and stuff but they insist on using some fugly template.. Oh wells..

Anyway, I wanted to upload this beautiful picture of antibodies and staining cells... It's super beautiful.. But it's in some weird format so I can't upload it.. Ah well.

Anyway, I heard that SYF piece is *********. Ok, it's just weird la, and I think it's just weird lor, I mean it's so weird to do that, it's just weird la ok?

Ok, I can't wait to go back for band practice this friday! I think I can make it after my presentation and checkout at A*Star.. But I need to go for the econs competition debate preparation thingy I think... I feel dam bad la.. Though I help by doing research and stuff, I never actually see the debate becuz I have the attachment...

Anyway, MOE sent me this letter to ask me to appeal for 13 units. Like wdf? Y don't say earlier got such thing, I would have taken my dream combo of H2 Math, Chem, Bio, Physics, Geog... Maybe can sub physics for music... Or whatever... Anyway I feel that JC is really lame, like y we only take 4 subjects? They should cut down content to about 70% and let us take 6 subjects... And I bet 70% of the content is still more than the British A Levels... Anyway obviously I didn't want to take 13 units... Becuz VJC is weird, they don't even allow triple science... Should have went HC or TJ instead.. Just kidding!!

Ok, it's getting late.. But who cares?

Anyway I did homework while waiting for the cells to proliferate.. I did mitosis and finished it woots!! I am like 3/4 done with reading International Trade... And I know I sound gross, but I'm going to read organic chem tmr... To prepare myself for H3 NTU Chem.. I mean the H3 I'm taking is all all all about organic chem... Apparently TJ already finish teaching their students the WHOLE of organic chem.. So I better read up a bit first... Can't lose to TJ peeps... Like how gross is that? Just kidding haha =)

AND OMG!! I just watched Gossip Girl and Desperate Housewives LIKE OMG!! It's like the bestest bestest la!! The wait was well worth it..

XOXO Pyrosphere =)

One more week!!

Yeah! One more week till school reopens, AHH!! I can't wait!! As in like seriously, can't wait to see my class again... Can't wait to have band again, as well as Maris Alumni this sat!!

I still have 5 more days to A*Star attachment, and I have to do a stupid 5 minute presentation.. I dunno y becuz I'm most probably not going to see them again... But nvm...

I'm so happy, I just like cleaned up my room table and cupboard, so now it's like super super super tidy la can?

My clean and organised study+gaming+everything table!!

My clean and organised cupboard!!

At last, I feel so organised I'm so happy.. Haha if u know me I like to be super super organised.. Now I can rest in peace.. Anyway, after this hols, I still cannot decide what to do in the future haha... Oh well... But it's ok, since this decision will affect at least the next 12 years of my life, I guess it's ok to decide later.
I did Group II Metal Tutorial woot!!! It's like the only piece of homework I've done, unless u count 4 lessons of GP.. Have no idea which homework to start next becuz all other homework are like exam papers, meaning I have to revise the whole content first b4 doing, if not I feel like some loser if I have to constantly refer back to notes... So I guess I'm not doing anymore homework yay! Stress free, just don't do homework haha...
Things to do by school start
1) New Stationary ( Like duh... Every year I MUST change stationary...)
2) New Notebook ( Like duh... Every year I MUST change notebook...)
3) Read and understand Mitosis Lecture
4) Read and understand International Trade Lecture
5) Borrow Probability + Definite Integrals lecture notes and fill up mine!
Yupz... So I guess all I'm not doing is maths, which is stupid anyway cuz I hate maths...

LOL!

Ok, this is so funny... While I was like surfing blogs and stuff, this stupid mosquito/housefly keep flying around my face... Then I shouted " F*** u la, idiot!"

Then suddenly my mother shouted, " Oi! Sleep already la, don't scold." LOL!! OMG so funny...

Then she came into my room and said that the neighbours can hear, and she tot I was speaking on the phone on sth.. Like pls, how can I use the F word on someone?

Ok, wait a while, I'm trying to kill that mosquito/housefly(The one that dosen't buzz)

( 1 minute later)

Ok, it flew away... Nvm... Goodnight, still got A*Star attachment haiz... Need to do a stupid presentation next Friday Yikes!! I'm only attached for 4 weeks instead of like 8-9 weeks like the other participants, thus my research is quite basic only... Haiz... Cannot embbarress myself in front of the others, especially since they explicitly show that I'm from VJ haiz...

So ya, anyway, the antibodies worked!! Got really really cool pictures of antibodies which are so so beautiful, I'll try to post it here if it's legal haha... But my mentor wants me to do it again becuz some of it got no results, and it's her fault lor... She said maybe it's becuz of the mounting process, WHICH SHE DID...

Ok, have to like do project work OP again in 1 weeks time haha... Haven't started the slides, and my results not out yet, doing on monday and getting results on tuesday haha.. And wednesday is the powerpoint slides deadline haiz... It's like OP all over again.. Just that this time it's done solo...

New Year 2009!!!

Ok.. So this is my first post in 2009!! I still can't believe it's like 2009 la, need to readjust I gues haha...

2008 was a great year, I learned so much just by going to VJC. This whole year was really great, a new life, a new environment, and a new culture.

2009 will be the year where I have to decide my future, take A Levels, and of course, straighten out my thinking especially about my future. I still really don't know what I wanna do with my life, and I have to think it straight this year!

I hope that this year will be as great as 2008!!

I do not want to think of resolutions, I think that it's a bit LOL since we can't follow them. But of course I know what I wanna do this year. Oh well, yay!
