It's a Silver!

Congrats to the Singapore Women's table tennis team on getting a Silver for the Olympics. Thank you for breaking the Olympic medal drought of 48 years. The last medal was a silver too. Coincidence? Maybe the next medal we would be another 48 years later... That's a long time.

CAs have begun. And I only started studying today. Chemistry. I'm aiming for an A1 in Pure Chemistry. Just need to study the notes well. History has proven that most of the questions which I got wrong were from the notes. So study study study. Had Chinese CA today. I tell you, it's a total give away. The questions are totally easy. Not that I can get a perfect score but anyone with a Chinese standard even slightly higher than mine has the potential for a perfect score. The compre was a little weird. The questions require really short answers for 4 marks. So to play safe I added extra. Hope I can get an A1. Aiming for 5 A1s and above. Really need to study my Geog, SS, both Maths. My maths standard has dropped quite a bit though.

Been playing Tomoyo Fighter abit too much lately. Somemore it's the CAs... Yubari's great. I think I have discovered most of her moves except for 1. Which is the direct slam down with her mace. Doubt anyone who come here knows. lol. Changed the blog song to a Hatsune Miku track. Not sure of it's name. But if you play as miku, you will here this song.

Found a really hilarious EVA doujin. Sadly almost no one who come here watches EVA to know the jokes in there...

Science Physics tests are really simple. On Friday, I went for the test totally unprepared, not to mention its usually hard to pay attention in Physics classes cos the A class is usually ridiculously noisy. Too noisy to pay attention. Anyway, I just went in, totally crapped through the entire paper, finished it in less than half the given time, handed it up and went to recess. Physics lesson was after recess so he marked it, and guess what... I got a 12.5/15. Don't know how people can even get 3.5...

Uploading my Magister Negi Magi manga covers on Animepaper. The papers keep coming. Not really... Too lazy to scan sometimes... Currently have 304 papers.

2 ppl asked me chem qns on msn. But the number of questions were overwhelming. Seriously. Not cos their difficult. Cos there's juz alot. Phew... It's over.

Olympic Medal Finally!!!

WOOOYEEAAAAHHH!!! Singapore finally has been guaranteed either a silver or gold medal by the Singapore's female table tennis team. Yeah. After so many years. Olympics rock. Watched lots of gymnastics lately. Saw falls for the first time. Saw diving less though. Though I missed one where the diver fell flat onto the water and recieved a 0.0...

Today had the English exam. Was quite ok I guess. But missed out on 1 point in the summary after I had completed it. Anyway could not fit in any more words. Had already overshot the word count. So just left it. There's something with the phrasing of the summary question. The reason's for his involvement, his work and his personal sacrifices. This can be seen in 2 ways you know.
1) Reasons for why he was involved, why he wanted to do this work as well as reasons why he made personal sacrifices.
2) Reasons why he was involved, what was his work as well as the personal sacrifices he made.

I went for no. 2 as no.1 did not have enough points. So it would be logical to go with 2. Weird paper. So many typos. 15 printed pages. OMFG. I thought it was ludicrous. It was actually 7. Qn 4b jumped to Qn 7. hah.

As you can see I renovated my blog. Changed it to white to match the pic actually. Posting random lame images by the side once a week, or every post. Depending on the time. Couldn't find a white banner to match. And could not change the hit counter colour. And yay. 600 hits at this point of time. How slow. But still not bad for just 20+ posts. lol...

Been surfing Animepaper recently. First time I really actively participated in an online community. Uploading scans. Uploaded the highest quality scan of FSN Visual Story you can find on the net. Anyway, had a scan rejected cos it was not properly uploaded. earned a total of 154 papers so far. Spent 150 paper on scans of byakuya. And after being restricted form downloading wallpapers, I finally am able to download wallpapers for contributing. Yeah!

Haven't been studying for the CAs at all. zen zen nai. Instead, started playing a doujin game called Tomoyo Fighter ~ It's an Exiting Life ~ It'll be fun if you know the characters at least...

Smile

Time passes so quickly... Just this morning I was at NEA. lol. Still remembered everything that happened there... The out of tune singers, the primary school dance, the minister, the food... So fast...Actually nothing much to talk about. About band, I can go get a Librarian Assistant. I only asked my junior though. He doesn't seem to mind. I also recorded the dance done by the primary school with his hp. lol. After all that James gave us souvenirs from his china trip. Some Beijing Olympic Stuff. lol.

Oh yeah. I can make some unique patterns on the 5X5X5 cube already.


Something like a dice. But only 2 and 4...


Cross Grave(D.Gray-man). Haha


My self-invented smiley face. Yeah


A variation of the smiley face...


Both faces!

Watching olympics now. Hope it doesn't take too long. Don't wanna miss D.Grayman. Not that its the same channel. Thought the opening ceremony was not bad, but a little tiring after a while.

These few weeks had quite a lot of band events. If I was both an alumni member and main band member, I would have concerts and competitions every week. Luckily I'm not an alumni member, so I only had 2 concerts. Last Saturday was the paralympics concert. So missed tuition. Screwed up Do-re-mi. Expected for a lousy flautist like me. Only managed to get the score ready on Saturday and had only 3-4 days to practice. For the first time in months I brought my flute back to practice. Only once though. Returned it after the concert. The weather at Orchard Road that day was hot. Yeah. Hot. Was sweating profusely. There was a break in between so enjoyed air-conditioning at Kinokuniya. Luckily it was nearby. Took a look at the manga there and then saw Leonard Tan. Reading some game comic thing. Yuck. I hate game comics. Like WoW types you know. I also hate sports manga, cooking manga, or manga that specialises on certain normal activities. Cos it's just so exaggerated.

This week's assembly was talking about again. I think that's 2 times this year. I think it's overrated. You don't see many people behaving like the guy on stage you know. He's like a retard. Today had very few lessons. Tomorrow I will have even fewer lessons. 1st 2 periods are free periods for tomorrow. Well today, since we can't go back before 12.45 (actually i juz wanted to stay back for fun). Then during that period, the shorty went around asking people who could solve the cube in 50secs. If the person did, he would pay form $2-5. If not the person would have to treat him to a drink. lol. Then he go ask some zhai kia but then he only managed to get after 1min. So the shorty go ask him to go back home and practice then come back tomorrow for the 'exam' lol. Anyway, my SS test got 9/16. lol. 1 mark pass only. Cos I didn't manage to finish the last qn. The first 2 questions only lost 3-4 marks. So not bad liao la. Considering how bad I am at Humanities subjects. Talking about Humanities, the school's humanities board is not bad. http://marisstellahumania.blogspot.com/

Monday dissected a porcine heart. I showed a bit of my sadistic side. Lol. Since someone, with my support, minced up the heart, I grabbed some of it with my plastic glove, and overturned it. So it became a bag of porcine heart. Cool.

Yeah. I finally broke the 40sec barrier of my rubik's cube timing. 0:39:56. Finally. Now I can do it alot faster. My average is mostly under 1min now. Yeah. My newest 5X5X5 timing is now 7:46:03. Yeah. About 10sec slower than my 4X4X4 timing. I haven't been playing with the 4X4X4 now... One of my juniors have been smsing me abt where to get rubik's cubes for some other junior's birthday. lol

Finished reading many of Kano Yasuhiro's work's. MX0, Pretty Face, MP0(the prelude of MX0), She Monkey as well as Snow in the Dark. The last three were all one-shot manga. I think the worst was Snow in the Dark. It was like olden Literature. Wonder how he did that in Japanese. Pretty Face is my favourite I think. Followed by MX0. There also was this small collaboration between Mizuki Kawashita(One of my favourite mangaka, author of Ichigo 100%) and him on Shonen Jump. Argh. I can't find the pic. Oh here it is.

Old Debts Crawling Back to Me

My long forgotten, not really, about 1 month and 6 month debts are coming back to me. I gotta come up with a library catalogue, which was actually due end of June, and I've got no idea how to do it!!! And I'm all alone cos the other librarian got demoted... Alumni stuff are piling up at the library table which was just shifted yesterday. I'm not responsible for alumni stuff you know. I've got no idea how to make that pile look nice... I'm getting lousy at blogging, cos I haven't been blogging. Anyway, today played softball for PE. Cool. Wanted to do that for quite a while, though I prefer floorball, which I am the best in class at. Who cares what I'm good at though. Also about the debts, I missed 2 tuitions last Sunday due to the Botanic Gardens performance, and I feel like I'm in deep trouble for not telling them. Maybe I'm just thinking too much. Haven't paid my tuition fees for one of the though, it's already the 4th week...

The Botanic Gardens performance, to me, wasn't that good. Quite a few mishaps... Lack of chairs was the big thing for me. So ended up in the 3rd row. So must be vigilant for ABBA Gold. So stood up at the second one instead of the 3rd. Made quite a few mistakes though. Not that anyone could hear. I'm lousy at the flute. In a solo recently, I could hear how poor I was. So soft. I don't really care nowadays. I'm not that enthu any longer. But I will bring back my flute the moment the SYF pieces are given out, practice like mad, and come to next practice like I'm damn pro. ahaha. Practice has proven useful from the last SYF. So gonna do the same thing. But exams are a problem though. 3rd week of august. Not much time left...

Solved a 5X5X5 cube after the botanical gardens performance on Sunday. My father bought it for me. And I didn't need any formulas. Yeah. Now the person who called me noob had nothing to say. Haha. Somemore dare to say he zhai. Not that I care though. Don't really care about much nowadays. So I'm just gonna write my fastest times here...
2X2X2 - 0:13:56
3X3X3 - 0:46:59
4X4X4 - 7:39:13
5X5X5 - 12:49:69
2X2X2+3X3X3 - 1:36:23
Actually the timings are quite slow. lol.

Been speed-reading Bleach recently. Took 1 week 2days to catch up. At least I now know what Bleachers are talking about. I used to think Espadas were from the game 'Granado Espada' lol. School Rumble just ended too. Yesterday. So sad. The story wasn't really finished. They just finished with a class photo. Hope they tie up the Sawachika - Harima - Yakumo relationship in School Rumble 2. Lots of loose ends to tie. Anyway bye.

Cosfest 2008

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUIOAGHSDFJNJOENPEOIJEWFIOPOAIERBJDFNVAODKJERPGJK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is the cosplay competitions always on Sunday!!!!!!!!!! And I always have to miss is due to my Sunday tuitions... Anyway, I went to the Cosfest 2008 on Saturday. Lol. Guess what. I only arrived there 10mins before the official closing time. chikushou. Anyway, when I arrived, some guys where singing Bouken Desho Desho?(Haruhi OP theme) as well as Motteke Sailor Fuku(Lucky Star OP theme) and some other songs which I didn't recognise. Wonder who won the Anime karaoke contest though. Could have been the guys on stage. Anyway, I bought the Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel, which made me broke. Really broke. But it was great man. Mebbe I bring it to school tomorrow for those who wanna look. Nah. It's super heavy. Quite value for money. Though it's all in Japanese but I'm fine with it. That's why the visual of the visual novel comes in... High quality pics... But the censorship takes up a wider area than the actual game... Or did people edit the game. Dunno. Anyway, I took some photos of some Cosplay. I might as well upload some of the cosplay pics that Chang Hong sent me... Excuse me if all I can take are backviews... lol...



Ichigo from Bleach, some guy with a guitar, some Prince of Tennis guy...



Back views of cosplayers outside the tent...



Red coloured guy with a monitor for a head...



I keep taking back views till I can't recognise what they are supposed to be...



It is what it says. The guy used scotch tape and paper strips to do that on his jacket...

Sick

Bad days sia. Yesterday I accidentally did an extra 15 push-ups, which means I did 55 push-ups at one shot, 2 times and more than the average band member. And even worse, I was selected for the ... Haiz... Cos I did not point out any other section mate. Great values they teach in band eh. Sabotage, involuntary arrest, and a whole lot of sacarsm. I personally feel that the band's standard is dropping too. More towards the discipline side. Although I'm not doing anything about it. I'm the type who only can criticise but is unable to do anything about it myself. Sad. I also wish to, but I don't know how.

Today. Did 2.4km run for P.E. This time they stopped just after the primary school gate. So my timing was 11.26 mins. Faster, cos did not have to run up slopes. But was feeling real sick after that. Anyways, the main point of the bad day was after school. Actually it was bad because I thought too much... Cos I was the Geog rep, after school I had to go to the staff room to get a namelist for the WS. Then PauLeong caught me cos my hair was too long. I expected to be caught but not by him though. Anyway, I was prepared. But the surprising thing was he was very very irrational. The conversation goes like this...

P is Paul
M is me
P: Hey boy
M:Yes
P: Did any of the teachers tell you to cut your hair?
M: No (Really la)
P: Don't lie
M: I really din lie
P: Why yesterday you never cut ur hair
M: Because I got CCA
P: So now you are blaming your CCA
M: No. I haven't finishe...
P: (forgot what he said)
P: what class are you from?
M: 3*
P: 3* is supposed to have intellect up there(points to head)
P: (talks some mars crap)
M: I'm sorry
P: (Calls Jenni* Goh over)
*dunno what he did that for
P: Who's your form teacher
M: Mrs *
P: ***?
M: yes
P: she didn't tell you to cut your hair?
M: Yes
P: dun lie (or something liddat)
M: I'm not lying. Really
P: So as a #ist
P: you need someone to tell you b4 u cut your hair
M: No I was going to cut it this weekend
P: y cannot cut last weekend
P: ur hair only grow 2 days ago ah
M: Yah...(Of course lah. My hair grow everyday wat)
P: Don't be ridiculous!
M: No I...(P interrupts again)
P: I'm getting angry now (Note* I used a soft tone of voice and really did not show any signs of acting smart or anything which anyone can find fault with)
M: I'm sorry (sorry for wat?!)
P: Who's your form teacher (again)
M: Mrs *
P: so now is Mrs *'s fault la
P: so i need to tell her to (can't exactly remember wat he said. but something about scolding her, not exactly, or something)
M: No. It's not her fault
M: I know I'm at fault. sorry. I am responsible
P: (forgot wat he said after that)
then he went to scold other ppl cos he got nothing to say to me

*This conversation may not be the same exact conversation due to my poor memory and the sequences might be mixed up, but most of it was accurate.

Seriously, what did I do wrong to actually make him angry?!

Anyways, today came back home to study for my Bio test and SS test. I am slightly more confident than before that I wouldn't fail, cos usually I fail both of them. Adieu
