Had dance today as usual... and i decided to join the alumni dance too as it might be the last time i'll ever dance in my life and perhaps i should make the most out of it.. and leave no regrets... yup.. i'll try my best to cope... =)

Went to ACJC fun-o-rama after dance with kai ling... well.. we met lots of crez pple there and we talked... it wasn't exactly as fun as i'd expected though due to the crowd, rain and humidity... But it's nice meeting people you've not meet since sec school days... juz feels happy to see them..

Kai ling and Sui Ying... Sec 1 and 2 classmates! =)

Crez dance!!! =)

opps... and i juz remembered i'm supposed to return kai ling 11 dollars for the tickets... haha!
-----------------------------------------

Yar... nothing much to say... i'm juz quite depress and confused now so i'm turning to the com for a while...

Once again, another week had passed... and next week.. it'll be the return of Mr Yong... haha! Physics tutorial will be full of motivation, perseverence and enthusiasm again... Oh my! I hope i'll survive... ...

What went on this week for me?? i can't seem to recall much.. Nowadays... time seems to fly so quickly and weeks passed just like how days passed... it's like yesterday was the beginning of the week... and today marks the end of it already... That's how i felt totally...

Well... to put it shortly... it all revolves around research, dance and school stuff... [nothing new] and that left me little or rather absolutely no time to relax or take a break... It's like i'm living in this world where it is the race against time... and where 24 hrs a day is nvr enough...

Nevertheless... i did gain something invaluable this week too... talking to my research mentor broadens my once myopic view towards research.. I could totally sense his passion for research and i realized that there's still so much more to it... Come to think of it sometimes... it is indeed interesting... and more importantly purposeful too... Now, i felt rather convinced to pursue in research... but then again.... my wishes and goals have always been changing... and it may still continue to change...

GP tuition was enriching today... learnt many stuff and skills too! The teacher was so entertaining that regardless of how tired i am after school, i'll still have the energy to stay awake.... Ohhh... but apparently i was asked this question: 'How confident are you that you'll be able to find a man that is pure towards you next time?'... that kind of left me stun for a while as i really have no idea... i said 'quite confident' anyway... but gave no substantiation... anyway... in my mind i was thinking... 'one day i will'...

One thing bout her... She likes to divert into other stuff during tuition too! and sometimes her question are just so hard to answer... at least for me it is...

haha! and I keep getting injured this few days.. Fell down a couple of times while climbing up stairs n at home too... injured myself in some other interesting ways!.. Nvm...

It's getting really late and i figured that this seems to be the only free time i have to reflect on stuff... Well.. there's dance tml and i'm still ignorant of where is it going to be at... Left 6 hrs of sleep... ya... but sometimes i wish that humans can survive without 'hibernating'... as it takes up a quarter of a day!!!

Well then.. guess that's all i have to say...

It's kind of a dull day today... most of the days have been like that nowadays.. Woke up and half the day is already gone.. [that's kind of not bad actually.. making the dull day shorter...]

Anyway... all i did today was work and more work =) ... Econs case study was super hard and i hardly know how to do any question... =(( .. Attempted to do an GP essay but end up taking like 2 hours plus... haha... quite pathetic la!!! Ahh!! i'm really getting exceedingly worried for GP!

Oh.. and i was like listening to this 'cai hong' song sang by Jay Chou like for almost the whole day.. haha.. sudden addiction to it dunno why.. somehow i won't even get sick of it after listening to it for the whole day... usually that's not the case! coz i get sick of songs quite easily.. haha..

Tml there's school again... must prepare for the tiring week ahead!!

I was so happy to be back in my primary school again today =) ... Reminds me of all the little things i used to do in RGPS... pleasant childhood memories.. 6 years ago... everything there seems so huge to me (the hall, canteen, etc.) but now.. i realized it is not that big after all... (when you're small things appear bigger :D) i remembered how our school use to flood when it rains and we'll all start sliding down the stairs (unintentionally of course)... but it's kind of fun anyway...

Today's dance was at RGPS's hall... coz apparently the one in NJC was filled with tables and chairs for lectures... guess next few sat dance practices will be at RGPS too!! =)

Hmm... dance today was tiring though... as usual... my back feels as though it's going to break and it has been hurting since weeks ago... the pain nvr seems to go away =( ... and the blue blacks on my knees keeps accumulating... other than that i kind of like the dance anyway though it's rather hard for me.. esp. the countless amt of turning... i keep losing balance... =( ...

And the alumni dance is really really nice!! i'm really sad that i can't dance that as i won't be able to cope otherwise.. But the saddest thing is that Jaq is not dancing too =(((( ... she really really wanted to dance but she dropped out in the end coz she can only come on sat for practices and she thought it would be unfair for the rest who comes for more practices... ahhhh... she's like so 'wei da' ... i really think she should dance still.. considering how much effort she had put in last year for NJCD... yes!! i thinks she still deserves to dance even she can only come on sat...

What's Wrong?

Everything just doesn't seems rite for today...

1. Woke up early yet i was still late for school. Took my father's car today but he has got to fetch my brother to west coast studium first. Yar... so somehow we got lost in the middle of the road and it was only after one hour that we successfully located the place... Argh! The rain saved me anyway... No asssembly today...
   
   
2. The return of econs test... i obtained the lowest possible mark that anyone could score for this test... hmm... demoralizing... but nvm... i didn't study for it anyway...
   
   
3. Ha... even my dance today was in a big mess!! =( 'Gu Yun' was fine though... but the 'quan nu' was like terrible... i forgot almost half of the steps and was super blur during the dance... still unsure bout the last part... plus my back is like aching terribly and i can't practice all the actions that uses back... AH!! 6 more weeks left! stress! Besides i'll be missing quite a no. of practices next few weeks =(
   

On the lighter note... i guess i'm quite happy that there's 3 consecutive days for me to catch up with everything... including shopping for stuff... =) ... basically gotta catch up on work, research, dance, GP, econs etc. etc. ... Where's life???

Unbeatable!!!

It was so hilarious and i was laughing like mad till i almost rolled off my seat!! OMG! The NJPDA videos!!! HaHA! Could hardly believe my own eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and Econs lecture today was !!!!!!!!!!! la... Kai Zhong and the other guys... created what they call the 'joke of the year'... omg... super funny!!!

ok.. i gotta stop laughing and get back to some serious stuff... HAHAHA!!!!

A day well spent!!

I'm really tired now coz i juz finished the crazy amt of maths hm wk given for march hols!! But nevertheless... still have enough energy to reflect about today =)

Yeah!! today was really fun... Woke up at like 12 plus... Went to NUS open house with my lower sec friend (Jazlyn) in the afternoon.. =) met wan ching, marissa and the others there... met my dance senior, Yuan Jie too... it's kind of fun meeting pple around... gives you surprises =)

There's nothing much to see at NUS though... and besides we are too lazy to go for the talks and stuff.. anyway there's still next year.. =) so we left shortly... for VIVO city =)

Basically we wanted to find somewhere to sit down and talk and catch up with each other... Due to the extra busy life i'm living in now, it's has really been ages since i've last went out with her... ... ya... but she's still her usual bubbly crazy self =) haha.. don't kill me for saying that =)

I figured that VIVO is a good place to talk... as there's this super big open air area on the 3rd floor with picturesque view etc. ya...

oh...!! and i mustn't forget bout the starbucks coffee that we took today.. it's really really super nice.. haven't had it for a very long time... and it's like FINALLY... !!!

Time seems to fly... it feels as if it was just yesterday that we shared all the happy times together in Crescent... running mass run... searching high and low for our forgetful lit teacher who nvr seems to remember to come for lessons... and working on enterprise club projects etc. ... can't believe it!!! 4 years have already past...

Her OCIP trip to China sounds really fun... i wished i'll get an opportunity someday to go too.. it's like really meaningful and ya.. it seems to me like the entire experience will indeed be an eye-opener.. To see the happy faces of the children there juz makes you a million times happier...

We shared many stories... and laughed at many ridiculous stuff which i dun even know why we're laughing... must ask her... she started it.. =)

Yeah... and before we left for home... took a few pics... and omg...!!! took a long time actually juz to do this simple task... coz of the wind and sun and non-stop laughing etc.. ya... all the factors contributing to the large amt of time taken juz to take a few pics..

Yup... that's about all for the fun part... =)

K now for some not so good news... I went home and heard that there was this tornado that juz hit Atlanta Georgia in US... the place i'm going for ISEF.. !! Oh dear... now i'm getting a little worried...

Ya... and other than that i kinda like chiong the whole maths hol hm wk coz i was rather determined to finish it by today as there's like not much days left... ya... and tml have to chiong the rest... wah!! it's really going to be tiring for my brain... but no choice...

Ha.. and it's 2.34am now... i juz realized haha.. gtg!!

I hardly know..

That must be really painful!!! ouch!!! i can nvr imagine it... i use to cry even during a normal injection... that looks like a million times more painful... Anyway... you must stay strong!!! You'll recover soon =)

And omg... you should like really scold the doctor for being sooooo inaccurate!!! He must compensate for the extra pain caused!!

Ya... and i'm glad to hear that you're still so actively indulged in maths despite all these pain =) ... Guess that really shows your passion for it... I believe you'll succeed in being a great mathematician in future... so you must believe in yrself too!!!

Yeah! and do eat lots and lots of fruits and vegetables... it is supposed to taste delicious =) ... haha.. and it is.

Take care and stay strong!!!!!!!

FRUSTRATION!!!

ARGH!!! Shopping can be a chore sometimes... it's really frustrating if there's like so many things you need to get and you only have one day to get them all... and there's like this endless amt of march hols hm wk to do and i have hardly started as past few days were entirely devoted to research... there's simply not much time for shopping anymore during the hols and when school starts it'll be worst!!!! it's becoming a need now... and that stresses me!! like going round and round the shopping center and eventually not getting anything settled at all...

i hate shopping!!! for the first time in my life!! makes me giddy....

It's going to be tough this time round... I just had my first ISEF meeting today... and already there are so many things to settle and stuff... Had to rush back to Jurong Island tml to settle some admin stuff... and coz of tat i'll have to miss the most longed-for dance camp... really sad bout tat... Besides... i really wish i can cope with aristal this year... for i dearly hope to dance... Last year... i had forgone that opportunity due to research.. and i hope there isn't a need to make the same decision again... It may be the last time i'll ever get a chance to perform... Can't afford to miss this... i really can't.....

Then again... I had a commitment to fulfil... which is to give my best for ISEF... and because of that i'll have to miss a couple of dance practices... :(( But I want to give my best for both... aristal and ISEF... but it can be quite hard at times...


On the brighter side... i learnt that we will be going to Atlanta, Georgia in United States which happens to be a resort town... yay!!! that's something to look forward to... haha.. and i hope we'll be taking SQ though... coz UA may compromise our food in an attempt to cut cost (recession) .. don't want that to happen!!! I need nice and satisfying food to survive the long journey haha!!


Went to the IT show on Sunday... and omg!!! Massive human jam !!! Sometimes i really wonder how pple can even make a proper decision in their purchase under such suffocating conditions... Though my parents kind of manage to get what they wanted... whether it is worthwhile a trip can still really be questioned... In my opinion.. i don't think i'll ever enter one again!!!! Juz glad i didn't faint that day... terrible experience :(((


Nevertheless.. that terrible afternoon experience was compensated with a super super nice dinner!! went to some Thai resturant for dinner and the food was heavenly!!! =))) Here's a pic of my brother... attacking the chicken wings... =)) Took lots of nice stuff for dinner that day and i'm quite certain i must have at least put on a considerable amt of weight =)))

Yeah! that's all about it... gotta get back to serious stuff XD ..

I feel like Alice... living in Wonderland

Yay!! The long awaited march holidays is finally here!! =) This past week has been rather memorable.. so many things happened and it left me very little time to accept it all.. I felt so happy and thankful... speechless at times too... it's something like a dream come true... ... but then again not exactly... coz i had nvr dream of that to happen... ... Anyway.. here's a reflection on this week:

Singapore Science Engineering Fair:

It took place on the 5th and 6th of March at Singapore Science Centre... It's a competition organized by Science Centre in collaboration with A Star... In this competition, students have a chance to showcase their research projects to the judges as well as the public.. It is indeed an invaluable experience... I've learn many things through this competition... made many friends... and eventually when the results were out... i learnt that i had obtain a GOLD award!!! =) ... i was really speechless then as i had nvr expected myself to go that far... i treated research juz like any one of my other subjects... Just wishing to complete it and at least have something presentable to present for my H3... and for SSEF perhaps... i was juz hoping that i'll get something... but nvr was i expecting the highest award... i was really lost for words...

K... here's a thank you list!!! =) .. NJC teachers esp. Mr. Adrian Loh... as well as my mentor of course, Dr. Luo He Kuan... lab mates... friends... and everyone who have helped in every possible way... A big thank you to all of you!!!!

Some pics:

ICES friends =)

My teacher mentor, Mr. Adrian Loh.

My poster and I !!! =)))

Here's Wern Chia's and Hers =)

Some RJ friends i've made...

Harmoc peeps... =)

Oh... and we had lunch as Mcs.. Coz didn't really like the food provided to us =)... choosy eaters =)

Here's Annabel!! My sec 4 super smart classmate... haha... =) So happy to see her there... she entertained me most throughout the SSEF period.. waiting for judges to come can get quite boring sometimes... therefore important to have entertainment sources !!! =)

Some random pics..

Smiles!!!!

Crescent friends!!! =)

Annabel and her poster =)

more random pics =)

Yup... that's about all for SSEF... ha! and it will be one of the major factor affecting my results for econs test.. coz apparently i can't seem to get myself to sit down and study for econs that night... don't know why... Couldn't get my brains to focus at that time... in the end... i studied only a few pages.. end up writing only one and a half page for the test...

Return of A'lvl Chinese results

k... this was rather depressing for me... i got a D =((((((((( ... super super sad... was contemplating to retake or not... but eventually decided not to... but maybe i deserve it... coz i didn't put much effort into studying it... i totally regreted ... but i guess it's too late now... gotta move on...

A Call from MOE

On the same day, i receive a call from MOE... and I was informed that I'll be going to United States this year to take part in the International Science Engineering Fair (ISEF)... from 10 to 17 May... OMG!!! ... it took me some time to believe that... the feeling within me then is just so hard to describe... my heart is like 'flying'... Guess my research journey has not ended... for there's still one last lap to endure... It's going to be a tough journey... that was what i was told... lots and lots of meetings to attend and trainings too... meetings start on this coming monday... i'm busy all over again...

Other than that... i'm quite excited too!! .. haha... can go shopping for clothes to bring and other stuff... provided if i have time... hmm... but i think i'll miss home though... always had this prob... nvm...

Band Concert

That ended of this week really well... the songs they played were nice... and Daniel conducted one of the pieces too!!! ... i was super super impressed by that!! =) he's so pro!!! haha... and it's like so cool too!! ya.... anyway... i'll be looking forward to their June concert!! haha..

---------------------

I guess that's about it ... and that's really enough to make my week... i'm kind of tired now... suffering aches after dance today... Gotta Go!!!

Yeah! That's where i feel like going right now... away from all the studying and mugging... away from the super super busy life i'm struggling with.. away to enjoy a moment of peace and tranquility =)

I love beaches. The sea breeze, the sand, the waves and all the life there...it's just so idealistic!!!

Sigh... ... Guess the only way for me to go there now is in my dreams... nvm... what i want to say is that i need a break!!!
