.: Project Work :.

Let's see... what the seniors said about project work at teh start of the year is partially true! It sucks when you have to do so many editing, looking through, printing and thinking of ideas but it's fun when you have a super fun group!

This week handed up Written Report... Like FINALLY! but it was a freaking mad rush before handing up as the night before I was still doing the cover page and after handing up, I found some 'differences' here and there. Got super pissed off but it's not like I could do anything about it. So hopefully, not much marks would be duducted or what. WR editing was hell! Cancelling about 1000+ words in 2 hours! Not only is it tedious, it gets irritating and frustrating too! Great its over!

Now our group is working on the OP now. Today just had the meeting at my house where again, we operated with many computers! oh did i say? My group uses 5 laptops (each for every one of us) when we're having our meetings! Efficient huh! haha. Of course, we had fun. Never really talked about my group before but I'm so glad that I am in this group because we 5 just have really alot of fun together, laughing and stressing together but never had we once quarelled over anything! Always laughing off everything and maintaining the efficiency! I guess that 'A' grade would not be as valuable or memorable as the past 6months of working together and laughing as the group termed the 'fastest' and the 'coral people' haha...

Something real funny happened today. After 6 months, we found out that one of the SUPER MOST important word in our project has always been pronounced wrongly! Seychelles was pronounced by us as 'Say-cher-lis' but in actual fact, after checking today, it was actually pronounced as 'Say-shells'! We had a great laugh! and lucky this was found out before OP!

Alright! these are some real dumb pictures we took in our recent meeting!

Enjoy!

.: Sentosa :.

Exam results overall --> lower than expected so it sucks. That aside, I've been like having fun this weekend! Or rather, yesterday. After the whole mundane week of going to school to finish lectures on this year's syllabus and looking at test results/statistics and corrections, I have finally been able to sort of 'enjoy' myself yesterday!

Sentosa at the beach with the band. haha. This is probably the first time I see 'potluck' being so successful! Every section really brought their own stuff and we had a lot of good food. Fried rice, sushi, nuggets, spring rolls, sandwiches, water, drinks, mashed potato, corn thingys, pizza etc. It's like an international buffet by the beach. What ambience. haha. We played many fun games. New TAE, new games! They were really twisted and whacky I should say. Captain's ball with water-filled ballons, frisbee using banana, dodgeball with plastic bags filled with milk and volleyball with body parts to hit on. Of course, something that we can't really do in ECP in VJ clothes whenever we're there, mass dunking! haha! It was fun, fun, fun. My neck is now burning hot because apparently, the back part of my neck got real burnt and now, if I happen to touch it, the pain will like remain for 5 seconds. Despite all the aftermath of that day like the burnt, I got tanned and had a whole lot of fun! What's going to happen for the next band outing? I just can't wait!

After that, rushed to watch SSO concert with Gino and Nicholas and Kenneth. Woah... lucky Nicholas told me about this concert because, the horn concerto was splendid, marvellous, excellent. Probably not the best of the best in the world but defitenly one of the reigning champions in horn playing. Looking at him play, I just am more inspired to become a greater horn player, one that is able to play like him, stand at that position when I'm older. The horn concerto was good and so were the other pieces. I mean, what can you expect from SSO! Bravo SSO!

Before meeting them, I was with Alexa walking to marina square and something super funny happened. We sort of spotted our schoolmate whom alexa knows but I don't. However, it was like I do recognise his face and all. He was with someone else and Alexa decided to stalk them. So the whole point was that it was the funniest incident of the day as we acted like untrained PIs with me being the very unreluctant follower getting pulled around by Alexa to follow them. Of course, i gave some directions too. The funniest was that we walked into a handphone shop to avoid being spotted by them and the shopkeeper just stared at us and we embarrasingly walked out. It was so funny! Had a great laugh at our own actions haha!

Written Report due date and Oral Presentation is coming. Chinese 'A' Levels is approching. When can I have a break! I'm just getting so temperamental these few days. Got to cut myself some slack and have fun! (if it's possible)

Alright! back to doing WR! bye!

.: Donkey chasing after carrots :.

Had GP today and our GP teacher said something which another student wrote in his/her GP essay that made an impact on me. Or maybe, made me wonder. This student wrote something like "in secondary school, we aim to get good results so we get the carrot of getting into a good junior college, one of the best in Singapore. In JC, we aim score well to get the carrot which is the scholarship presented. In the work force, everyone aims to be the best or works hard just to get the carrot of the position they want or even, a certain salary." So, what has become of Singaporeans? The rich, poor, old, young, traditional, cultured etc. Have we all become donkeys chasing for that carrot all the time. In no point in time will we be truly contented because of that certain something that we still want to achieve, what to get, and what to show we have. Maybe it's just Singaporeans or it may apply to the international population as well. All that I can say is that what happens everyday is just a follow up as what had happened the day before. This make be believe less in the statement 'putting everything behind you and start afresh!' How often can we actually whole-heartedly do that?

Got back a few results today. Probably 'contentment' and 'disappointment' is the overall feeling? Contented that I got this and thinking of classsmates who did worse, I should not be in deep sadness or what. Disappointed? Sure thing to feel. Never have I felt so sad over my Math results. A possible 'A' subject actually turned out to be one of my lowest grades. Careless mistakes after careless mistakes. Exam pressure and stress made it worse. The most unexpected result I got back in my life? Definitely. GP was a pass and chinese... the only thing left to say is work hard in the next 1 month!
