Recovering

Secret War Journal[10 October 2009]
Finally went to a doctor today.

Wasted lots of my time in the clinic because I was not aware that I need to take a queue number. (Yeah, stupid me...)

Hey, it's been a long time since I went to a clinic!

Anyway, the time I spent consulting with the doctor is very short compared to the waiting time I experienced.

:p, which means that my condition isn't very serious.

But 5 packets of pills! Ahhh!

But I have to thank the doctor though, I forgot to mention that I have swelled throat but she realised it anyway. ;)

So efficient but so costly. T.T

Thank god my father offered to sponsor me (or else I would not even consider visiting an doctor :o)
So yeah, here I am, trying to do Physics since Mr Goh is forcing us(or demanding) that we finish the TYS by Monday.

And guess what? Thursday was the very first day I touched that book. So yay, I'm so screwed on Monday.

Did I mention right now I have no mood to write anything in pen (or pencil)?

I can stand reading now but I have to do Physics. It's so sickening!

Ahhh!!! *(cries of anguish)*

I think I would continue finishing the book tomorrow. Until then, I reach some notes for Revisions. That's less taxing on my feverish brain.
P.S: Record Low body temperature for the past three days! It's 37.4 degrees Celsius now! Wohoo! Many thanks to the medicine prescribed by the doctor! :D

Mid-Autumn Festival

Friday, October 9, 2009
Secret War Journal[9 October 2009]
Okay, so this post is freaking overdue but...hey I was sick after the day I went to celebrate so I'm excused, right?

Probably not, you guys are all so mean to me. :o

Anyway, during the week, I caught high fever(38 degrees Celsius) and I'm now currently on medication.

P.S: As of posting, I'm still sick. T.T

Zzz..I'm not seriously broke. With the purchase of Class Tee and expenses incurred from medicine.

Ahh!

Anyway...

Last Saturday was a very busy day for me.

Woke up early in the morning to take my examinations.

Which was followed by going to Compass Point to buy a new fan since we're short of one fan at home after mine broke down.

Which adds up to a total of three fans at home once more.

Shortly after that, Lera and I went to grandmother's house.

While waiting for cousins to arrive, I did Physics.

Can't believe it took me so long to finish 30 Questions. (that school paper that I did only had 30 Questions, I'm not sure why too.)
--
Finally, Tze Yui and Yuki arrived.

Apparently, I forgot to reply Tze Yui's facebook message(which I read) which asked me whether I was coming today. :p

Opps?

Anyway, Tze yui, Lera, and I went down to the playground to 'celebrate' Mid-Autumn Festival. Sadly, Yuki was not interested in coming down with us.
--
Only when we reached the playground did we realise that...we had no candles.

How pathetic is that?

My first celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival without a single candle. Hahas.

Despite all the difficulties, and armed with only 5 matchsticks and a lighter. We managed to enjoy ourselves there.

We had no lantern too. Not much difference with its absence, the neighbourhood are not celebrating the Moon-cake Festival. Wonder why. I mean, in the past, there's always a celebration nearby since the community centre is located just opposite the playground but this year, it was filled with silence.

Kind of saddening, isn't it?

Leo joined in when we were close to leaving the playground to head for home.
--
There's so much I want to share but I feel that some are personal and I'm tired. Haha. If you're interested then maybe I will elaborate more.

Until then, I would not talk about this subject any longer since it's already a week overdue.

See ya!

Graduation Ceremony [2 October 2009]

Sunday, October 4, 2009
Secret War Journal[2~4 October 2009]
--> Updated on 4 October 2009, 12:59PM

As promised, I'm here! Okay, now it's close to 4th October and this is going to be a long post so well..

Before that, I would like to...
Wish Kane and Tze Yui a Happy Birthday!

There! ;) Let's move on...

Photos first, words for later. ;)...

Group Photos
Never in my entire life had I took so much pictures in so short a time. I seriously camwhored like some mad guy.

First up,
Class of 4D + Ms Tan

Class Gathering for Class 4D 2009!

The Teacher at the first row would be our proud Form Teacher, Ms Tan! :D

See that Photo Frame? That's our gift of appreciation to Ms Tan. Hope she likes it! :D
Photobucket

A second, but close-up of the Class with the focus on Ms Tan doing that 'embracing' action? O.o
Males of 4D

The boys of Class 4D 2009! Including our Physics Teacher, Mr Goh as well. :)
Mrs Sim + 4D + Ms Tan + Mr Goh

Yet another class photo.

Another Group photo with Jaytii and Co.
That would be Jing Ying getting 'shot' by me and hit by Chris. :p

2D'07

A Class photo[2D 2007] we took during the Graduation Ceremony!

Part of 2D 2007. Started with a few of us wanting to take a group picture before growing in size. :p

Sec4s of NCHS- ICC + GKW

Finally, a group picture of all secondary 4s Students of my CCA and Mr Goh.
From Left: Zi Ying, Jian Zhong, Me, Mr Goh, Keller, Qi Xiang, Christopher.

Award Ceremony
Shortly after the start of the Graduation Ceremony(after the Arrival of the Guests and Speech by Principal), it was the Awards Ceremony for the Graduates!

Congrats to all Award Recipents(including me!)
List of Award Recipents

Receiving Award
That's me taking the Distinction Certificate for CCA!
(P.S: How 'nice' of my peers to shout "Geek!" when I was going to receive the Award. Hahas, can't believe that they actually dared to do that in public.)
--
During the Award Ceremony, my hands were nearly wasted from the clapping. Hahas

Memory Lane
After the Award Ceremony, everyone watched a video entitled "Memory Lane" which summarises the events that we all went through for the past 4 years. It left a rather sad feeling that we're all going to walk our separate paths after our official and genuine graduation next year(after taking our results).
I guess it will be just a repeat of our Primary School Graduation then.

Dedications
Shortly after that, we watched another video, entitled "Dedications".

It was a really touching video where all our respective CCAs and teachers wishes and thanks us for our contribution, efforts, and presence.

It was an attempt to not cry. Ha!

I am really touched. Thank you, Juniors. Thank you, Teachers. Thank you, all those who tolerated me. >=D

Singing!
Never have I ever witness the whole of Secondary 4s Students singing the School Song with such flame and passion in my entire course of my Secondary School Life. I believe everyone was touched by the videos and really gave their all out to express their thanks and appreciations(to the school).

With that note in mind, I believe this was entirely a good move. I feel that the morale in my class just improved by lots. :D

Woots! Let's all score well for Os!

Tree Planting!
More photos! After singing, we went to do the ceremonial planting of trees to commemorate our graduation! It's tradition in our school. ;)
Tree Planting

Ms Tan with her trusty Spade. :p

And Ms Tan. ;)

Ms Tan on the move!

Food Reception
Our class came back early for the food!

And hey, we make use of our knowledge gained from history.
Proof!

Blockade - an act of war.

Why we used blockade? To prevent other classes from getting the food from this table before us. >=D

Wohoo! We got our wish, we got hold of the food first!
Reception

Us, enjoying our meals.>=D

Yum Seng!

Cheers to 4D! Ms Tan took part as well as we all shouted "Yum Seng~!" for quite a long period of time during which attracted everyone else's attention.

Hahas. But it was fun and memorable!

Note on Ms Tan's fingers! She was trying to call us quiet down. kind of embarrassing for her to take part in such a noisy activity. Hahas!

X-treme Post Ceremony Pictures
All good things must come to an end. And indeed, it had. But no before we took more pictures! ;)
Me & Qi Xiang
Me and Qi Xiang. Woots! Friends Forever!
>=D
From Left: Ms Oh, Me, Keller, Qi Xiang

Me & Cynthia
My class sort-of engineered this taking of picture. =.=
Oh well, that's me(from left) and Cynthia.

zOMG~!
Final picture. O.o
Zi Jie's the one lying on the three tables.
From left(back row): Yi Cheng, Dylan, Me, Lloyd, Darren, Christopher

That's all folks! I have not got all the pictures yet but this is most of it that has my face on it. (hahas!)

I will probably add-on to this with another post in the future(or maybe not).

Meanwhile, if you're friends with me in Facebook, check out the full collection of pictures we all took during the Graduation Ceremony 2009 in Nan Chiau High School.

With that, have a happy Weekend!

Over and out.

Reality

Secret War Journal[2 October 2009]
Note: I will post about today's Graduation Party when I get most the pictures of those including me.
--
Let's be realistic. I think my L1R5(most probably) be around 14 though my target is 11.

Why? Simple.

Physics - A2
Chemistry - A2
Maths - A1, A1
Combined.Humans - A2
English - C6

L1R5 - 14

So, what should I do about it?

Combined.Humanities: Manage Time to have time to write conclusions.
Physics: Attempt more questions.
Chemistry: Attempt more questions.

Given the time constraints, I believe this should be the best option available.

Signing off here, I'm tired from the scannigna dn getting of pictures. *Yawn*

A load of Events

Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Secret War Journal[29 September 2009]
Wanted to post yesterday but I was too busy doing work. From Night Study to finishing homework. ;)

Oh well, I guess I just have to merge two posts into one. :p

Starting, on 28th September 2009...
Spring Cleaning of Room
First up, yesterday was a very productive week.

I finally decided to sort out the mess I created after mass mugging for Prelim 3 and the stacks of worksheets, specimen examination papers, revision exercises that just piled up everywhere in the room. From the bed's surrounding to the Computer Desk.

O.o

Yeah, it was not a pretty sight.

I bet my step-mother must be thanking her stars that I finally cleared out the junk in my room.
--
Sub-divided the thick stack of papers lying around my room into its subject and filed into my bookshelves.

Yep, it's now full. :o

Can imagine how much notes and worksheets that my teachers gave. Hahas.

Thrown away lots of junk mail that I 'forgot' to throw away.

Okay, it was not junk mail. They're informative mails that is now officially overdue.
--
In addition, I cleared the dust that had piled up from the books.

Night Study 28/9/09

Basically, after finishing cleaning up my room, I went for night study.

Kind of routine there, I did Physics Anderson Paper 2 there.

Speaking of that, I think it would be appropriate to discuss how much work I did.

Work Progress
Will need to rack my brains on this one. ;)
  1. Bukit Panjang Addition Paper 1 & 2
  2. Chemistry TYS 2007 Paper 1 & 2
  3. Physics Anderson Paper 2 [90%]
  4. Physics St.Gabriel's Paper 1 
  5. English Comprehension "How Money Began" [50%]
  6. Chemistry Catholic High School Paper 1
  7. Chemistry TYS 2006 Paper 1
Come to think of it, I did kind of little work right? Hmm...*Shrug*

Walking on...
After night study, I actually intended to head straight home. Recalled by Jaytii and Co.

*Shrug* Oh well...

Turned out that Yan Zhi wanted to talk to me privately...

I guess only the Gods, he, and I will ever know the contents of that conversation. ;)

Home...works
Reached home. Extremely tired.

It's 9:38PM. God, way past my sleeping time.

Remembered Cynthia's Bukit Panjang Additional Mathematics Paper 2 is with me.

And I remembered the reason why I borrowed from her - I have not done that paper, and that piece of paper is due tomorrow.

Shuckes. How could I forget something as important as that?!

So there I was, rushing to complete that assignment before going to sleep.

10:00PM: Still doing.

Parents returned from the shop, still doing.

10:43PM: Finished Paper 2! Went straight to bed.

Night came and left. Now it's 29 September 2009...

Old Injuries
Woke up with nose bleed.

*Crap*

(I'm having nose bleed right as of posting too...=.=)

Chest Pain. Sore eyes. Followed by toe seizure.

Ouch.

Ouch.

Ouch.

Old injuries came back to haunt me so early in the morning. Zzzz....

Which means that I would need to eat vegetable today to recover my blood loss...Hahas...

Mid-Autumn Festival 2009 Celeb @ NCHS
One word - B_____.

And here's one thing queer during our assembly, the Western Orchestra played Chinese Music while the Chinese Orchestra played western music.

Ironic, huh?

Other than that, nothing else worth noting during the assembly.
--
After Assembly, I went down for lunch with Wei Siang and Donavan. Short after that, I went down to canteen again to solve riddles with Siew Yan and Cynthia.

Wonder why Keller never went down to solve riddles this year...

Oh well, in the end, I only managed to solve to two riddles.

Hey!

That's an achievement for me because I'm weak at Chinese! :p

Hahas, me and my excuses.

Siew Yan and Cynthia went back to classes full of the prizes from the riddles(chocolates, sweets, and potato chips)

Meanwhile, I earn myself a packet of Potato Chips. I gave one to them. ;)

Okay, I just made myself sound pathetic. LOLs...

At least I admit I'm weak at Chinese. Ha!
--
Some riddles were really difficult. I stared at three pieces of paper(with the riddle on it) for more than an hour and could not solve it in the end.

Talk about a waste of my time and killing of brain cells.
Okay, my bad! I should had moved on to other riddles but...oh well. (better not give myself too much excuses. :p)

So, I'm not going for Night Study tonight. It's 6:50Pm now and Night Study had began at my school.

Well, most likely I will be going tomorrow to make up for it. (I guess)
--
P.S: Mrs Hay is buying mooncakes for night study tomorrow! Heehee...

How long has it been since I ate mooncakes? I mean I forgot the taste of it already.
Did I hate mooncake or did I like it? Anyone care to remind me that fact? Pretty please?

Before ending this post, I think I would like to announce something!

Lera finished...
the Mathematics Book of Addition!

Wohoo! Clap!

Do it! (I know you're not =.=)

Okay, I won't force you.

With that, I finished my part of my commitment with my younger sister to encourage her to finish the book within this year.

I'm so proud of her! She managed to finish more than half a book in less than a month! Of course, I marked all the questions she did and she done the corrections.

Wohoo! One book Cclleeeaarrrreedddd!

Time to celebrate? For her maybe...I still have my "O"s to revise on...

Not exactly a long post but yeah, until next time~!

Pathetic Miracle

Friday, September 25, 2009
Secret War Journal[25 September 2009] -- Second Post
Hidden the first post for today for the time being.(It's a bit too sensitive and personal. Just some family issues.)

Anyway...

Prelim 3 Part 3
This should be the last part before I know the overall prelim grades.
English Language
  1. Paper 1 Section One - 18/30
  2. Paper 1 Section Two - 18/30
  3. Overall for Paper 1 - 36/60 [40%]
  4. Overall for Paper 2 - 25/50 [40%]
  5. Oral Marks for Prelim 3 - 24/40 [20%]
  6. Overall for Prelim 3 - 56/100 [C5]
Yeah(in a bored tone), I passed. Shucks.

Paper 2 was very badly done. This greatly pulled down my overall marks for English Language.

I wager my Paper 1 is rather average so I have no comments about this one. :o

It's a miracle because I thought I would get extreme borderline pass (or even fail). So yeah, I got C5 grade and not C6 grade. Woohoo!(lacks enthusiasm)
L1R5

  1. English Language - C5
  2. Additional Mathematics - A1
  3. Elementary Mathematics - A1
  4. Combined.Humanities - A1
  5. Chemistry - A2
  6. Geography - B3
  • L1R5 - 13
Surprisingly, I have to resort to using Geography for my L1R5. Well, at least that proves that my Geography is improving. (I think)

Had a blast at self-study today.

It was a great balance between fun and study(something I missed from my Primary School days)

Celebrated Donavan's Birthday. Did Bukit Panjang Additional Mathematics Papers(because tomorrow have test :o)
Chatted with Keller.

Tricked Donavan with our "magic re-kindling candles"
*He kept on trying to extinguish the fire on the candles :D*

Semi-talked with Ms Tan.

If only school is like this everyday...

Out of my life

Secret War Journal[25 September 2009] -- First Post
Darn pissed right now.


I swear, my freaking brother is !@#$ing spoiled.




To think I actually sympathised him when he was injured.




!@#$ HIM!


The world will be better without him.


@$$-hole brother who made a hell lot of noise when he's injured, bossing people around just BECAUSE HE's freaking injured.


Who does he think he is?!


GOD?!


GET REAL! @$$-HOLE!


If not for my step-mother, I would get him a piece of my mind and life would carry on with my younger brother with a bit more self-discipline without now with him being rebellious against grandmother, parents, and us siblings.


To think my parents actually still turned a blind eye to this. (ARE they blind?!)


And know this, I do not live to have a dictator-style groomed sibling living under the same !@#$-ing roof.


If he thinks he's so great, try beating me in maths!


I bet he doesn't even know what's 1+1. That arrogant brat.


P.S: Don't expect me to teach him that. Like hell I would.

Secret War Journal[22 Septmember 2009] -- Second Post
Prelim 3 Results[Part 2]
Hmm, I have not got back for some papers yet so there's definitely a Part 3(which would be rather short, I think)

Moving on...
Combined.Humanities
  1. Social Studies Paper: 36/50
  2. History Paper: 39/50
  • Prelim 3 Overall: 75/100 [A1]
This is amazing! I can't believe I can get A1 for Combined.Humanities despite the fact that I totally did not manage to start on a 7m Question in source-based.

The best part is...I got full marks the rest of the Source-based questions for Social Studies. (Wow!)

And yes! I'm getting L4/10 for Essay Questions again! Wohoo!

Clearly there's a god. :D
--
Note: Additional Mathematics Paper 1's marks have been amended [Refer to Post dated 18 September 2009]
--
Elementary Mathematics

  1. Paper 1: 60/80
  2. Paper 2: 85/100
  • Prelim 3 Overall: 80/100 [A1]
My third A1 for Prelim 3! Which effectively makes my results better than Prelim 2. Woots!

Geography

  1. Paper 1: 35/50
  2. Paper 2: 30/50
  • Prelim 3 Overall: 65/100 [B3]
Though Mr Quek had not gone through the paper with us, I believe the marks written here are pretty much fixed. Even if I did improve my marks, the grade would most likely still remain at B3.

Chemistry

  1. Paper 1: 30/40
  2. Paper 2 Section A: 35/50
  3. Paper 2 Section B: 21/30
  • Prelim 3 Overall: 71.7/100 [A2]
Massive improvement! Woots! A1, here we come! LOLs, despite saying that, lots of hardwork still need to be put in to get my A1. :p

English Language

  1. Paper 2: 25/50
Shocked. Wow, this is as bad as Chinese. :o

This boy is praying for good marks for Paper 1, pray for him too! :D

Yep, that's it for today. Goodnight! ;)
