Sick... again

Tiring Day



Today is the 1st day of the start of tut wk. I gotta wake up at six this morning for sch and I juz got home which is around 11pm. I really felt the stress when I was attending the tuts, thinking abt every wk's tut assignments makes me even more stress.. I got nxt wk tut assignments to complete, tons of books to read up, lots of notes to make!

I went for the CAC welcome tea at around 7. I'm suprised to see quite a lot of ppl there, and the boy-gal ratio is 1-1. I managed to get know of four to five new friends, yep, they r quite friendly and most importantly we got the same hobby, Singing! Then there was buffet first before we got in the room to watch the performances by seniors. They can sing really well, juz like those professionals.

Then we had a small game where the song is played till half and we had to sing the remaining song ourselves( one person for a small part)... Some songs got us all clapping and became high. There's quite a few guys tat could sing really well, one gal also sang well, she knew the lyrics for all songs...oh my.

The 1st practice starts this fri and I'm afraid I can't make it coz I had to go watch my Rui ling's dance concert. Its been sooooo long since I have last met my pri friends le, so there's really a lot of stuff to catch up wif them...Lol..

Teacher's day


Desk after clean-up... nice? =)


One of my fav birthday present... till now it's still hanging on my wall.


My korean txt tat I had been using for months, now I gotta put tat away...

I cleaned my desk (finally) once I got home from sch today. Oh my, there's too much useless rubbish on the table le, lol...

Teacher's Day is coming soon. This morning, the radio was discussing a question, "Which teacher of yours would you like to thank most?" I thought hard for a while. Well, I have four teachers to thank:

My pri sch chi teacher Ms ong is still my fav teacher till now and she really influenced me a lot. She's the strictest teacher I've ever met. I remember when I was p5, everyday was a canning day for me. She tested us hundreds of chi spelling words per day and I got canning for each ans I got wrong. Even though I was still young then, but I did not blame her for doing so as I know tats the only way for me to learn them. In fact, I have enjoyed those days.

However, she's friendly when its not lesson time, she's the teacher-in-charge for one of my cca librarian, she will always treat us lunch and drinks. Near PSLE, she made everyone stay back till 7 everyday to do revision as a class. Those days were hard but memorable. Without her, my chinese wouldn't be my best subject till now. Without her, I wont have a strong foundation in chinese. I have been sending her teacher's day present even after grad till I'm sec four, the unsent present is still wif me.

My upper sec A-maths teacher Mdm pang. She's juz like a mother to our class. She, always has innovative ways to make her lessons interesting, always care more abt each and everyone's morale more than academic achievements. She helped me achieved an A for A-maths even though my maths always fail. I will nv forget how we hugged and cried during grad day.

My sec sch chi teacher Mdm Zhao. Thanks so much for appreciating my strength. She's the one who always encourage me to participate in various chi-based competitions, eg: National chi essay writing competition, West schools chi essay writing competition, International chi book-review competition, School-based chi essay competition, Chinese DJ programme, etc... I can say she trained me hard and made me improve my chi even further.

Lastly, my JC chem teacher Ms Goh. She's another strict teacher and I always got scolded by her too. I know she placed high hope on me since I'm the only 1 under the scholar's programme in my class. But I always disappoint her by failing my tests. Once, I failed my chem test badly, she wanted me to see her after sch. I did. I almost cried as I explained to her my prob, I said I had 3 tests on consecutive days because of my wierd sub combination. And she said "tats the combi that u chose, u cant blame anyone but yourself. So you have to face it." Then before A's, she forced me to come back sch everyday to test me. I'm glad I got a B compared to my past fail grade. Even though its not an A, I'm still very grateful to her, I hugged and thanked her when I got my result slip from her. =)

Actually, it's always clear to a student that whether a teacher is a truely passionate & responsible teacher or juz a slacker. "老师是人类灵魂的工程师", without them, I won't be what I am now. =) Thanks!

Money did it again

Broke



Spent 50 bucks today to buy 2 textbooks from seniors. Alright, at least I got smt to refer to & read through during the weekends. Coz the lecture notes are really too brief! Gotta start reading up tommor =)

The PF lecture today is really boring! The lecturer talked too slowly and kept repeating himself. Me and jia tian timed him, he was still in his 1st intro slide 35 mins after the start of the lecture. Its difficult for me not to fall asleep in his lecture lor. Sianx, I'm thinking of skipping his lecture and juz watched his lecture via videowebcam.

After the lecture, I went for the chi pop-singing audition at YIH. Umm, sorta force bryan to join me, lol. Jia tian & jaslin went to support us too. Well, dun think I will get much chances in getting in, coz I'm too nervous during my singing. haha, who cares anyway? I juz went there to try out. =P

I have been thinking of whether to continue wif my novel writing this few days. Last month, my "fan" even asked me when will I continue wif the next chapter. Well, I felt guilty. I havent been writing it for months le. Though the storyline is alredi in my head, I'm juz lazy to write it out plus there's some prob wif my chi software in my com. haix... see how 1st ba...

Sick

Today is the the 1st day of sch, I felt that its a bit unfair since its a school holi for NTU students. Anyway, I got to wake up around six. While taking bus to sch I saw matt and waved at him, but he didnt even saw me... haix. Then we lobang bryan's car to the sc fac, too bad for jia tian & jaslin who were late.. =P

I think the 1st lecture was a bit useless. Its even more brief than wat was taught in JC, but I did take notes juz to prevent myself from falling asleep, lol. 2nd lecture was much more okay juz tat during the 1hr plus lecture, the lecturer din touch real estate law at all. All he taught was the veri basic of common law. Well, maybe I expected too high for the 1st lectures.

After sch, the gals and I went to central library to find out the price for relevant txtbks and also went into the library to find the stats bk. But we couldn't find any. Waste time. Ahemm, okay, at least we queued for the NUS diary...

After I got home, I started to feel sick. Got fever & heavy flu, even lost my voice (gosh! how I am going to sing this fri?!). Guess its due to the hot weather today. Then wats nxt? I oni managed to slp for 30 mins before I got to go for my tuition. I nearly vomit blood today, dun have voice le still had to keep coaxing the kid to learn spelling... She's not even paying attention to me! Haix.. even I pity myself, sob~~


The secret recipe...wahaha...


In midst of baking...


Ready!!!

Yesterday, I woke up early (again!) to buy ingredients. I've made baked rice for my brothers' lunch then eggtarts for my friends. Haix, I'm so busy till I forgot I'm supposed to plan my tut rankings! Umm, think I'll do tat tommor.. =P

Then met yuwei at around four at causeway. Its really long since I last met her, really got so much stuff to catch up wif. Then beatrice & sj joined us for dinner around 2 hrs later. Its even longer since I last met beatrice lor, dun even know which sch she's in till then. Had a nice time wif them. =)

K, I know I sound like I'm a les but I still would like to say I missed chen. She's flying off to US today. Yi Lu Shun Feng, chen! =)

Yum yum...

R.A.G


Only managed to took pic of their back-view during their briefing...

Yep, I went sch for Rag early in the morning today. How should I describe it? Umm, hot & stuffy. I thought but might rain but it did not, instead, the weather is hot. Worse, we are stuck in the middle of the crowd wif blasting music & cheering surrounding us. We can't even watch anything.

So me, jia tian, kai wei, angeline, mei ying & shen jie squeezed out of the crowd to catch some breath. And oni when the SDE performance started, we got back to the crowd to support the rag dancers. Well, frankly, our float wasn't that outstanding compared to other floats coz it juz purely black & grey. Then the dance was not as exciting as the other fac's. So when raj and matt mentioned tat our fac didnt managed to win anything, I think its kind of expected. Well, I feel sad for them. They put in so much effort and time in that. And to me, its a really great performance.

Btw, I think we shouldnt reach so early. We reached at 8 while the actual thing only starts at 10.30. Its a waste of time, I can have more sleep instead lor.

We left the place once the SDE performance was over. Then me & jia tian went for lunch at FASS canteen while the rest went home. Later I still got dinner wif friends... Busy~~

K-box outing



Today I had my OG outing at orchard to sing K, not many turned up. I din sing very well, guess its becoz I haven't been singing K for quite some time plus I got flu in the morning. Plus, I really cant sing without the original voice... haix, always cant get the rhythm rgt. Oh, I din know Bryan can sing so well, lol, a potential superstar. Ch can sing well too, juz tat his pitch will go off once he sang the high pitch portion of the song. Kennix didnt lie to me, lol, he's really the "off-pitch prince",haha.. And I like wu te's and yee ting's voices, haha, like stephanie sun's. Actually I gotta apologise to them coz I'm the one who kept singing, I always like tat de, once I got mic on my hand I wont take off le.. ps ps...

After K, me and jia tian met up wif jaslin at Plaza Singapura to watch movie. Actually me and jia tian wanted to watch The Dark Knight but too bad jaslin watched before le. Hence, we watched Mummy 3 instead. To be frank, the story is a bit lame, juz like "The Forbidden Kingdom", its so wierd tat almost all ancient chi ppl knows how to speak eng. On top of tat, the mummies this time were the Emperor of Qing Dynasty and the teracotta army... Umm, I dun quite like it when they changed and played around with the history.

I'm checking my bidding result later, hope I can get tat module... Haix, I'm sick of changing modules again and again le, stress~~

S Club 7

Wow, juz happened to see some new photos from Vannessa in Facebook. Somehow it brought me back to the camp days..Lol.. Its becoz of this camp I got know of so many new friends. And becoz of them, I'm not scared of being in this new learning environment!

Some photos that I "steal" from there, Enjoy! :

The Last Lecture



I finally watched the youtube video "The Last Lecture" by Prof Randy Pausch yesterday. He discovered that he was in the last stage of cancer when he accepted the invitation to conduct this talk about "The Last Lecture". He just died recently but his talk inspired millions of ppl all around the world including me.

The 1 hr plus lecture taught me many things. He's really humourous. To prove tat he's still "healthy", he even did push-ups on the stage! Then, he talked about his inordinary childhood dreams and how he achieved them one by one. He also mentioned that even his life was going to end soon, he will still live it to the fullest. And some of his quotes really inspired me:

"If you are pissed off with somebody or angry with them, you just haven't given them enough time.... Just give them a little more time and you can see the good side of them."

"Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things. If you can't break through it, it only means that you don't want that thing badly enough."

Tat reminds me of a story tat I've read about when I was in sec sch. It's the famous story called "The Last Lesson". Because Germany invaded the country, schools can no longer teach French. And the story was about the little boy's last French lesson. The boy started to regret y didn't he paid attention to the French lesson in the past, its very touching.

Another 1 was the Jap drama "1 litres of tears" which was based on a true story. Even the 18 yr old girl found out that she got an incurable disease, she still faced the reality bravely. From the 1st epi till the last epi, I cried throughout. Parts like her own beloved younger bro feeling disgraced of her sichkness and how he regret his actions was so saddening!

So all these taught us to live our life to the fullest and always look on the bright side!
