Out of the past 6 posts I have on this blog, 5 of them start with Okay... Bad vocab, -smack smack- bad bad vocab. For the past three days, I've been out from about 8am every morning till at least about 5 or 6 in the evening, which is quite tiring. Shall do a chronological recount of events before I forget everything and details start to elude me.

Went back to NY today, for Open House and to claim back my g and d diao dizis. Met ger early in the morning at 0830, where she was recounting her own chain of events which caused her to be slightly late. (Forgot di dai, went back to take; forgot camera, went back to take; forgot cd...) And we had hashbrowns, because I was hungry and wanted breakfast, since I only had a cup of the cold herbal nim jiong pei pa gao ge gen tang (soup) thing before that. The tang is seriously icky, and leaves a funny taste at the back of your throat, and is not a tang! At first I thought it was really soup sorts, so I drank without holding my breath, and grimaced/made a face and drank lots of water and ate sweets (a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down...)
When we finally reached NY, we abused the lift, or rather we abused the open house occasion and used the lift (which as all NY girls know, you aren't supposed to do) and deposited our stuff in the CO room. Saw many unfamiliar people and familiar ones too, like juniors etc. Followed them down to watch performance with another teacher conducting, and it was quite amusing. Dizi yinse was a bit meng-ish and weird, especially the bangdis? Oh well, at least zhong nv tuo pai zi, and the string of yins at the erhu melody part came out quite well. Oh yes, on the way down, eugene called ger, so I koped her phone and said, "I've kidnapped ger and am holding her ransom...etc"
But apparently, certain people have SELECTIVE hearing, that very obviously chooses what they want to hear, because at the other end of the phone, what eugene heard was, "I've kidnapped ger and I think you're handsome." -coughGAGcoughPUKEcoughCHOKE- with an extra large DOINK with a capital D. (you know like Idiot with a capital E? <- nevermind, doesn't make much sense to me either.)
Now what does that say about eugene?
And back to open house, ger, xiwen, my classmate and I went to hc to hand up forms, and as was recounted earlier, I forgot to bring original copies of my birth cert and IC, so I had to take a trip down the next day. Was quite annoyed at that time, but at least still had one more day. We went for lunch, then back to NY for xiaozu. Very fun! I haven't lianned in a long long long time... Miss lianning actually, all the lian xi qus and chang yins and stuff. Plus I just remembered I forgot to give junhua back her ciyushouces... We got a new song to play with, a si chong zou, from this book of operas that laoshi bought from China. And does anyone remember a song from Carmen being used for a soap/dishwashing liquid/floor cleaner advertisement? I seem to remember it as that... And I cannot read dou ya pu... Or wu xian pu as it's called. =( But give me a note/number then I can start counting lines, since the last time I actually could read it was in primary school with the recorder and stuff.
Apparently dizi is going to get a new girl... Nothing much to say about it, though I think it's a bit late to join and next year syf probably will not have a place for her.

Woke up early and went with my classmate to HC again to hand in LEP form, and we were both gloating when they approved all our forms and we could finally hand it in, whilst the other poor people there were short of original copies and their certs and stuff couldn't be certified. I think the GO people gave them till 9 the next day, before they sent the forms over to MOE or something. My friend and I were trying our best NOT to laugh and gloat so openly, but really it feels quite shuang. So thankfully we were guai enough to come one day before, since we both agreed that if it happened to us on the second day, we wouldn't be willing to travel back and forth again and would just hand up the form and certificates without it being certified.
Then went to meet junhua at Orchard, where we went to lido to watch Polar Express, and I must protest, Lido cinemas are freezing cold. And it didn't help, that all the credits were being shown with added winter effects, and the opening scene was one of falling snow... -freezes- And now I shall erm reveal junhua's preference for the shorter straw... Because the shorter straw can drink more wad Now we know. =) The movie was quite cute, storyline was typical, and they had lots of things that junhua wanted, including hot chocolate, long twisting slides, an elf MRT transport capsule system thing etc.
After we got out of the cinema, we found tc and they traipsed down to kfc to visit eunice who was working there. The both of them, being very pro, were trying to walk with their back facing the corner, and hiding behind the cashier and promotion boards so that eunice wouldn't see them, which she did eventually, so it didn't really matter. Then we walked and walked and walked around the place, and stole/guang ming zheng da de took many many postcards.

Saturday! Watched Mamma Mia in the afternoon, and it's quite a cute show, a bit complicated, and the main guy looked a bit awkward singing, but it was quite okay. The conductor also very cute, since he was at some parts, a part of the cast and performance. I liked the main character's mother's friends the most, very amusing with their shiny abba get up, inclusive of jewel encrusted belts and very very high platforms.
Met alice for dinner after that, then we proceeded to the Night Safari with free tickets + tram ride, which originally would have cost $24.00. The animals were seriously close to the tram, and the only thing that stood between the (many varieties of) deer and bison/cows/bulls/buffalows was half a log on the ground. And I seriously never imagined a tapir to be so large! I was expecting a small cute thing about the size of a small pig or something, but when the tram came up next to it, I got a shock and sort of scooted in the other direction. It was humongous! Very large and well, black and white. Then the vultures were all perched on the tree, and I think there wasn't anything between them and the tram, no glass, no barriers or nets, nothing. Then on the night safari tram, because you're trying so hard to spot animals, you mistake things like boulders (hippopotamus in the pond) or reflections of people for animals (at the leopard cat enclosure) and stuff.
After the tram ride, we went on the Fishing Cat trail to visit the mousedeer (Although plural of mouse is mice, there is no such thing as micedeer says alice), and they were sooooo cute! They were a reddish brown shade, and very small, they had skinny legs and walked in a sort of awkward manner, and are messy eaters, but nonetheless very adorable. The leopard cats were also very chio... And the flying fox is a bat! (suaku-ness) We couldn't see it at first, then I was commenting to alice that it was probably right above us laughing at the visitors, when we looked up at the net and saw that it really was sort of above us, mocking or not I couldn't tell, but it was quite large. The red panda was quite slacky, it was lying on the branch being sleepy, as was the tiger on the boulder. We walked past the otters too, who were very eager for the public to feed them (it's illegal to feed them by the way) and no one did, but the way they swarmed in a group was very adorable, with their front paws up and squeaking like there was no tomorrow. And the gharial which we passed by looked so prehistoric, and they really really look like logs, especially with the dim lighting, you couldn't really tell which was which, until they surfaced...
But before the tram ride, we watched the Creatures of the Night show, and it just so happened that all the animals had ap that night. The Barn Owl didn't fly properly and landed in a corner of the amphitheatre and on the string, before finally going back to the trainer. The African Wild Cat also refused to jump for the meat, circling it a few times then running to some other corner of the stage, then circling it again and walking away and circling it and walking away, until it finally smacked the meat away from the rod and went to eat it. The otters were also being mischievous. As they were trying to teach people about recycling, so the otter that was depositing metal cans chewed through the cans and refused to let it go, whilst the otter that was supposed to put in the plastic bottles put the bottles in the glass bin instead. And the raccoon was sooooooo adorable! It was so fat, and sort of waddled in and tipped over a bin to nibble stuff inside. The binturong was also quite large, black, very furry and looked extremely huggable.
Finally reached home at about 11pm, and conked out. =) Next entire week I shall be computer-less, so I am non-contactable except through handphone. Will be going for co again next next week perhaps. Hopefully ba. =)

Okay, I need a big big big photo album to stuff all my postcards in... Today went out again, and came back with about 7 or 8 Jack Jack postcards, which are still extremely adorable, not to mention I have postcards in my box that aren't filed nicely yet... I want a bit photo album, and I want it sooon!

Okay, I've finally filled in my PAE, and tomorrow, I will finally hand in my LEP form, certs and all. And they had better verify it ALL by tomorrow. =( So irritated, travel all the way there and back. Which is why I'm going out tomorrow and stuff so that I don't go out for the sole reason of handing in the LEP form. XP Now all that's left is to wait for 17th December.

How come majority of the jcs are in the east? And soooooo far away from me... I have 12 choices to fill, there are 16 schools, and I don't want to take Humanities/Arts stream. Then nearly everything is so far away, Bishan, Pasir Ris, Tampines, Serangoon??? Bleh. Assuming I DON'T want to take 2 + hours to travel to school everyday, how am I supposed to fill it up? And now I'm thinking of LEP. If I want to take chinese in JC, I'd definitely take LEP over HCL, but I might be more inclined towards Econs than LEP? So if I fill the LEP form, and get in based on LEP, means I have to take LEP no matter what? Bleh. Bio Chem Maths Econs or Bio Chem Maths LEP? and how to fill in 12 schools??? doink

Okay, went shopping today! With mum and dad of course, so ahem, no costs incurred. Finally got something for grad night, which I think has absolutely no relation to the greek theme, but I can't be bothered right now because it's bloody hard to find something "GREEK" looking. And supposedly not everyone has been informed of the change in theme, so our theme might just as well be free and easy or as you like it or something like that, since everyone's going to look different anyway. Anyway, I realised I'm going to have to walk very carefully to not fall down and sit erm relateively demurely because of the skirt... Oh well. Oh!!! And there was this annoying woman at the changing room. Okay, must first introduce the characters, woman in dressing room, henceforth known as A, woman behind my mother and I in the queue, henceforth known as B, and Salesgirls C and D.
A was in the dressing room, trying on 1 piece of clothing. She calls for salesgirl C, to help her get the other size. Now B starts making a fuss, "She has to requeue for another fitting! I don't care! It's on the sign!"
Salesgirl C, feeling a bit lost, asks salesgirl D to come and help. Salesgirl D comes and explains to B that actually A wanted both sizes L and M, but since only L was available at that time, they asked her to try it first and they would get the other size for her later. But nooooooo B keeps going on and on about how she has to requeue for her next fitting. And she sticks her finger in the salesgirl's face, waggling it saying, "I recognise your face! If you let her try that, I'm going to complain to your manager!"
The salesgirl of course, lets her try the blouse, so irate B runs off to the cashier to get a piece of paper and pen, then comes back huffing and puffing, finger still waggling in her face, "I'm going to complain to the manager! What's your name?!"
Ignoring salesgirl D's attempts at explaining, she does the finger waggle again, and says, "I don't care! I'm going to take your name down!"
And in the meantime attempts to get my mum to agree with her point of view. I of course am in some corner trying not to make my eye rolling so obvious. Then at the cashier, she pesters the cashier wanting to know where the manager's office was.
DOINK. U-G-L-Y AUNTIE!!! -rolls eyes- I was so disgusted by her, and felt so bad for the poor sales people. Sometimes it's not what you look like that defines you, but what you do. Instantly, she seemed much more repulsive than she would when she shut her mouth. Which is why stupid people shouldn't talk. It makes them look bad. And sound bad too.
Okay I'm ranting, and done ranting for the moment.
Oh yar, I cut my hair! It's much shorter now I think, still tie-able, but I'm not supposed to tie so often le, and it sticks out more? But it's supposed to be messy, messy and in style? Sort of like that... And I think the hairdresser semihates me, because I'm unopinionated, all I want is for it to be shorter. So my mum sits there making decisions for me. I've been molly coddled! XD Hehz, okie, nvm.

Okay... Dizi outing needs to be sooooooo coordinated, especially if it's attempting to gather all 5 generations. Essentially, I need to know when are people busy/free? And when do people go on/come back from holidays? Plus all I wanted was a movie + lunch or breakfast or something, where everyone can stone/chat/yak/gossip instead of some people doing something and some people doing something else. At least in a theatre, if your eyes aren't fixated on the screen, you're talking, instead of let's say at the arcade, where some people are playing + enjoying themselves and others are stoning. Movies have a wider range of appeal, or so I think. But anyone else involved has as much a say in it as I do, so anything just tell me lahz. If not, then tell me when you're free! =)

Okay, have faith in yourself. Even though you may think you are a heavy sleeper, there will probably not be a time that you require 4 alarm clocks and 3 phonecalls to wake you up, trust me. Today was a unique wake up experience that I do not want to go through again. I set my handphone alarm, and borrowed my brother's alarm and set both at 8 am, because I was all alone this morning and quite afraid I would oversleep. Then at about 630, while I was happily dreaming about post os, I felt a weird sensation at my feet. And of course I woke up, and found out that it was my orange mogu stuffing! Somehow or another, it burst, and all the little styrofoam bead things were on my bed, blanket etc. It was then that I realised my bed is actually quite packed. I have 2 pillows, 1 bolster, 1 ex orange mogu, 1 pig, 1 di dai, 1 tissue can, 1 jacket and a blanket. Thankfully my parents hadn't set off for work yet, so my dad squished the mogu in a plastic bag for further evaluation later, and the handy vacuum cleaner came into play, and I migrated to my grandmother's bed to spend the rest of the morning. Little did I know that my dad placed another two alarm clocks on the table. Okay never mind, but the alarm was set for 745 am! So I woke up once at 745, very unwillingly, and thought I shut off the alarm, which I didn't, because it rang again 5 minutes later. <- snooze button at work
And at 8. All 4 started again... Instinctively, I went to shut the loudest one off, then the rest, and was awake enough to actually find the correct buttons and not just press the snooze thing. So I dragged myself out of bed and to the toilet to brush my teeth, when I heard the phone ringing. Then it was off to answer the phone to tell my dad I was awake, and a few minutes later, my mum, then another few minutes later, my grandmother.
-yao tou- Weird morning.

New template for the rest of November + December. 'm too excited about there being 3 more days left, despite having a headache and feeling like I'm about to throw up my dinner.
Monday, November 15, 2004
Everyone repeat after me, Sleeping at 5 am in the morning and waking up at 9am is not good for you.
Even though there is Iron Chef at 4 am on Monday mornings, and the Iron Chefs rock! And that with a suitable amount of coffee (Cafe21!) and milk, you probably won't feel sleepy at all. Even when you wake up at 8, sleep and wake up at 830, then sleep and finally wake up at 9, 4 hours of sleep is baaaaad. Which leads me to the conclusion that I will either nap for a very long while later, or Cafe 21 shall once again provide the erm caffeine (which is a stimulant and socially acceptable drug...) for me to stay awake, until suitable times at night. And the good thing is that now they don't show scary movies in the middle of the night, and even if they do, I've got cable! If I do watch scary movies, I'll probably be up even later. I was wondering what would happen if my parents woke up for work and I was still awake, but then I realised it wouldn't happen because today was a public holiday! Plus, it's an interesting experience to be up so early in the morning. I heard the rooster crowing from the block across the street, and about 4am I heard a thump at the door, which seriously freaked me out. But I convinced myself it was the newspaper guy and nothing more. Of course I didn't go check it out, imagine if it hadn't? -shudder- Over active imagination with not much tolerance for being scared don't go well together.
4 more days
||||
6 more papers
Then... SLEEP!
I hope I don't fall asleep at the Sharktale thing, and that I won't be living on borrowed sleep time maintained only by coffee, because I need to stay alert for A math and Physics (UGH)and Chemistry.
Things that make studying History that much more fun... [There is no intention to offend here k? All in the name of fun...]

I'm irritated. I'm very irritated. And sure as hell it's got to do with the Biology examination. I'm no longer as upset about the questions, as their response to the entire situation. A simple phrase that 'it won't make a difference to the students' marks' is NOT what I would call an acceptable explanation. They can say as many times as they want, that it would not affect our results, but how on earth would we know? Our scripts aren't returned to us, and we don't even know how it "won't make a difference". Are they going to exclude the question entirely and give everyone the marks? Or not give everyone the marks? What if you went against your concepts and followed the graph, do they assume that you didn't know and not give you the marks? Or do they assume you know and give you the marks? What if you ignored the graph and wrote what you learned from your textbook then? Are you wrong? I'm upset that they aren't telling us how they're going to go about fixing this problem, and apparently students pointed out the question to the invigilators, but they told them that nothing was wrong, and to continue to do the paper. -rolls eyes- Whatever. This might be just a few marks to them, but to all the pupils, it might mean the difference between one entire grade.
Wednesday, November 10, 2004
Biology, don't need to study. You know why? Study also no use. Ha. Ha. Ha.
Questions that came out reaaaaalllllyy tested our concepts.
An experiment was conducted and a graph drawn based on the pupil diameter and distance away from a constant light source. The graph states that the further you are from the light source, the smaller your pupil diameter is. Yup. Riiiiigghttt.
Then first question was a picture of this plant with everything submerged in water except the leaf floating on the surface of the water, aided by the air spaces in the leaf. Then they ask, what's the difference between that xylem and the xylem of a plant on land. <- From syllabus ma? Nooooooooo.... But never mind, I wrote some lignin rubbish.
Another question was with regard to pill popping. One pill, was encased in a partially permeable membrane, and another layer of something which was prone to sticking to mucus (!!!) and an outer casing that was acid resistant. Suggest how the partially permeable membrane ensures that all the drug is dissolved before it reaches the small intestine.
DOINK -dies-
*all were recalled from memory, feel free to point out anything that's wrong*
And Biology MCQ.
Which of the following is an example of excretion?
A) Adrenaline by the adrenal medulla
B) Carbon dioxide by the lungs
C) Sweat by the sweat glands
D) Faeces from the rectum
It was a erm argument between B and C. (I put C)
Based on the Lock and Key Hypothesis, which of the following represents the Lock, and which the Key?
LOCK KEY
A) Lipids Lipase
B) Lipase Lipids
C) Fatty Acids Lipase
D) Lipase Fatty Acids
Even our biology teacher confused herself. Then our chemistry + lower sec bio teacher also confused us even further.
Which leads me to the conclusion that Syndicate really is a good title, (University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate) because it's all a CONSPIRACY I tell you!!! It's a huge plot. They probably pick one humanities, one science and one language to mess up. Namely History, Biology and something else. They probably flip coins or pick pieces of paper to choose which paper to play around with the students minds with. Then when they mark papers, they read all the ridiculous answers and start laughing. Hardy har har har. Not funny. -sulks-

-minor rant-
What is wrong with naming things simply? Why must people purposely annoy poor little students like us with words like Afferent and Efferent just because the Afferent arteriole is wider than the Efferent arteriole, resulting in higher hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus? And how about people with bad spelling? Malpighian corpuscle? Chordae Tendineae? Adenosine Triphosphate (ADT)? Why??? I mean can anyone even pronounce bronchioles properly? Will it end up sounding like Brontosaurus? I mean phagocytes, lymphocytes and thrombokinase are kind of okay, but pneumatophores? Pneumonia + Metaphors? !!!!
You are an Entertainer, possible professions include - veterinarian, flight attendant, floral designer, real estate agent, child care provider, social worker, fundraiser, athletic coach, musician, secretary, receptionist, special events producer, teacher
I like the special events producer thing, or maybe an events planner. Sounds fun. =) I wonder what sort of credentials or talent I need to do something like that.

-randomness- DAVID TAO ROCKS! -end randomness-
!! Math is my favourite subject for now! -hugs- I adore maths, it's just much nicer practicing and practicing than memorising and regurgitating. Plus, there's absolutely no way to spot for math cos everything comes out, but in little bitty pieces, so you won't lose so many marks either. And it's not like one question BOOM 13, 12 marks. It's more like BOOM one question 10 marks, but many itty bitty parts. =) -hops around- NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!! But then again, BIOLOGY!!! Then HISTORY!!! (modern world) Then 5 days break, and allllll my sciences and A MATH! =) I sincerely hope that the markers aren't as niao as to look out for key words or phrases but more of the entire answer? Because if they do the former, I'm very dead, since I have absolutely no idea what are the "key words" anyway. -shrug- 11 more days and 8 more papers... Then... FREEDOM!!! =)

Yay! My dad bought a new phone! New phones are always a good thing, because sooner or later I will inherit it. And by my dad's calculations, he should upgrade another time in March I think, so I will inherit it about March and he'll get a new phone, then October upgrade either mummy's or my kor's handphone... =) Weekend!!!!! WEEKEND!!!!! Okie nvm. I had another dream last night, that my mum suddenly allowed me to keep rabbits... Don't know why either. -shrug-

SS in one word, was unfinished. I can't believe the first time I don't finish an essay, after all that rubbishy training, and it's during O levels. Wondrous. Last time I had no content and too much time, now I have too little time and content... Because I spent A LOT of time on the STUPID Falkland Island (decontextualised) source based. =( But never mind, must move on.
And I had nice dreams last night, I dreamt that some of my post exam activites came through, quite amusing actually, since I dreamt that my brother walked into my room and passed me the sims 2 cds, to erm the sec 4 dizi people bumming at some buffet place and chatting, then somehow we were eating prawns, then xiwen started complaining about bio pract. (XD Sorry xiwen! Dunno why always associate you with bio de...)

宁夏 - 梁静茹 - 燕尾蝶下定爱的决心
宁静的夏天
天空中繁星点点
心里头有些思念
思念着你的脸
我可以假装看不见
也可以偷偷的想念
直到让我摸到你那温暖的脸
知了也睡了
安心的睡了
在我心里面
宁静的夏天
那是个宁静的夏天
你来到宁夏的那一天
Yay! My cousin, whom works as a volunteer at the Night Safari, has 5 tickets! And they expire on the 30th November, means I get to go for free... XD
In case anyone's wondering, HCl was okay. In fact I think I was much more frantic about the prelims then than about o levels now, which is quite worrying in itself, so I'm actually worrying that I'm not worrying which some what doesn't make sense, and yet some what does. Anyway, 18 more days, and I'm slowly ripping papers off from my wall, which makes me feel happy. The more I can see of my wall, the closer I'm getting to the end of o levels, whee.
