A C.W.W Story

SC life

2011-04-29T03:11:00.004+08:00

Alright, it has been about 2 years since i've posted anything. So i guess this should be the first of many.

Since today is the last day of 2011, i can't help but reflect about my life in JC as a student councillor and how i have changed from that experience.

Joining the Student Council was a big change from my secondary school life, after all i had sort of limited experience in terms of being a councillor and organising events. Starting from campaigning to becoming elects to finally becoming a councillor, it was a totally new experience for me and i had learnt a lot from both constantly reflecting on my actions and observing others.

Being the head of a committee was also a new experience, to distribute the jobs and ensure everyone had an event they could call their own. Many a time i would ask myself if i was doing my job properly, if the committee achieving it's objectives and if i myself am achieving the goals i have set for myself.

It was also during this period of my life that awareness of self was constantly on my mind, the idea of organisation image was always there. Though the concept of self-awareness was there before i joined, SC really brought it to a new level for me. It really made me think before i act and made running my actions through my head before doing it a habit (a good one of course).

It was really amazing how a group of 33 people are able to work together to achieve school-scale events with minimal assistance from teachers such as Orientation. It was an eye-opening experience for me. Even now as i think back on it, i am still amazed on all the events we've pulled off together.

From this entire experience, i can confidently say that i have become a much better leader and person than i was before.

To my fellow councillors who have i have been through so much with, it was really great working with everyone. The tough times that we laughed, cried and persevered through together made this journey so much more memorable. The many sleepless night we've stayed up together, the late nights we've spent in the school for meetings. All these memories and bonds that we've forged together will always be keep in my heart and to my AWESOME College Image and Bonding Committee (CIB), you guys are the best, stay awesome. To the EXCO, it was an eye-opening experience working with you all and learning together with you guys.
Thanks for everything :) Ohana ♥

trip to genting

2009-11-19T00:01:00.003+08:00

Haha, the genting trip was fun. haha, plus i am tall enough to sit all the rides there too.
See the dolphin above? i won it. haha.
May be going again later in Decemember.

i'm sorry

2009-09-01T14:57:00.002+08:00

Haiz, there's nothing much i can do but apologise. But it's not like you would listen, haiz.
But, i will still apologise:

I'm Sorry

Post exams

2009-05-11T21:14:00.004+08:00

Ok, so the exams are finally over. However it just means that i have to start preparing for my Chinese o levels.

After our last paper, which was biology paper one, our class celebrated the birthdays of Shi Wei and Shu Hui. Then we proceeded to go to yishun SAFRA for bowling. It was during this time that i finally learnt how to hook a ball. luckily for me, there was a coach teaching a left-handed girl how to hook a ball. so i took the chance to learn. After the bowling game, i went home. And well, it was very boring, so i went rollerblading with Yu Fen, who was learning how to rollerblade. And after that i went home.

Next day, Saturday 9th may, woke up and went to temple to pray cause it was vesak day. Then at 5pm i went to my grandmothers house for a family gathering. Don't know why, but i was very unlucky, played mahjong till 1.15am. Despite winning a bit at first, i loss over 10 dollars, oh well, that gambling. you win some you lose some.

Then on Sunday 10th may, went for maths tuition and after that parents brought me to takashimaiya to buy new shoes. At about 2pm, i went to rollerblade again. this time Xue Ci came too. So there were 3 people rollerblading. it was also on this day that i fell quite a lot of times. haiz, and i think i injured my back when i fell on my butt.

Then finally today, i tried to organise a class outing which turned into and epic failure. Sure, in the end the guys got to cycle and all, but it felt very empty. Don't really know how to describe it, hmm, i guess it was just that i was not in the mood. haiz, waited an hour just to get scolded. yes, i am so pissed off at myself. i wanted to organise it cause it would be my last time relaxing and just wanted to go out with some friends and just have fun. haiz.

It was a pretty much last minute thing, so it was not very well organised so i apologise to those who felt i wasted your time.

Preparation for midYear

2009-04-09T20:57:00.002+08:00

ok, finally after about 1 month i am going to make a post. First of all, my subject grades are falling and i am having less and less sleep. The elements presentation is coming up and we have to present on 13April, however i feel we are not prepared and are worse off than last year. Haiz...... however being so busy does have it's advantages cause i can get my mind off some stuff. Second, my drive to study is seriously dying, i cannot find a purpose to study(this is very bad) and i am lagging behind in class.
However, i believe i can catch up after my elements has been finished and stay focused. Just watch Mulan(a disney movie), really makes me think about how i spend my time. though i would say Mulan is still a nice show and i like the storyline. Well, i guess that's all. Gonna have to prepare for elements and give it my all, i mean, after all whatever the outcome it was a great experience and i got to say that the group has put in a lot of effort.
So lets spend the remaining days we have before presentation and do our best.

Leaving for Taiwan

2009-03-11T01:12:00.002+08:00

Hey, i am leaving for Taiwan and will only be back on 18 of March. haha. Oh well, if you cannot contact me it is cause i am overseas.
As for elements, i swear that i will chiong the moment i get back from Taiwan. Poor Liang Wei, don't worry, i will help after the field trip, till then i wish you best of luck.

Hope i won't miss the plane tomorrow.

It was dumb of me to wait for a reply, haha.

Lack of Sleep

2009-03-03T02:17:00.003+08:00

Seriously, i am having so little sleep since the start of the year. On average i am just sleeping less than 6 hours everyday, it is a miracle that i am still able to be awake in class.

Since i have not posted for a very long time, i will try to make this post a longer one. 1 thing i would like to announce is that i am going to Taiwan (hurray). of course because of the trip all Taiwan field trip participant have to go for training, i am actually surprised that i can run 2.4km in 11.39 minutes. Also for my beep test aka VO2 max test i got 10.1. it has been a very great improvement from my sec 2 which was only about 7.x.

the post at the bottom may not make sense to you it is just something i have thought about

Since the start of the year i have been pushing myself to do well and stuff and i am surprised i have not given up and stuff. while thinking about all this i asked myself why i am doing all this. have you ever wondered why you do the things you do? for example why do you try so hard in something even though you know the results are not what you want. or why do you study so hard. or why you push yourself so hard.
i know that there is usually pride and all when it comes to this kind of stuff but what is the purpose of doing what you do. who or what are you working so hard for, for me the reason why i study is basically 2 thing first of all it is for my pride and second it is for my parents. i don't want to disappoint my parents.
Why do i continuously sleep so late, why do i work so hard for the projects, why do i bother to wait even though i know the outcome. Why?
What makes people endure so much and push themselves.
Yet another question that i have yet to find an answer to.
Perhaps all we need is a reason, no matter how bleak the situation is, we still cling on to that slight chance, thus we push ourselves clinging on to that thin thread or that little glow in the darkness called hope and it is that hope that causes us to push ourselves forward regardless of what lies ahead.

Perhaps that is the reason.

Chinese New Year!

2009-02-02T23:47:00.002+08:00

It has been a month since i last posted. haha. chinese new year has come once again and i can finally gamble. well basically on the first 2 days of chinese year i went to my grandmother's house to celebrate Chinese New Year and of course collect "Ang Bao" sadly after that was immediately our term test. however now that the exams are over i can finally relax, of course i still have to do my revision for my various subjects and handle my CCA and Elements project. even though the exams are over i am still so busy.
on Sunday 15 people from the class went to Xue Ci's house to Bai Nian, it was enjoyable. When we played blackjack despite winning for the early part of the game, i made a loss of a few dollars. guess i was not so lucky after all. i was the banker though, well thats what gambling is you win some you lose some. perhaps is cause Sufyan left half way throughout the game causing my cards to turn crappy. haha.
i guess this is all for today's post, i will try to update more regularly.
Happy Chinese New Year.

Never slept

2009-01-05T05:11:00.003+08:00

Damm, just because i had to do so many mind maps i ended up not sleeping at all. haha, if you see me in class today looking like i am dying, it is cause i did not sleep. i guess that's all, haha. this would be the first time i did not sleep the whole night just to do my homework, unbelievable.
i guess there is a first time for everything.
maybe i will fall asleep during lesson time.
i hope not, haha.

School reopens 2009

2009-01-03T00:22:00.003+08:00

Did not have a good start at the start of the year, so much trouble and problems. luckily things were not so bad. haha, Chinese new year coming, can practice my mahjong skills soon.

Since it is a new year, i cannot help but reflect on my sec 3 life.
lets start with the start of the year, when i first came to 3e7 i did not know most people, however i had make a few new friends pretty quickly, haha. for the first 6 months of my secondary 3 i have been very busy, doing my projects( most of the thing were rushed by liang wei and i). one of the worst things was staying up late just to do the proposal. but i guess after all we have been through it was worth it.
I would say that one of the best times in sec 3 was my first 6 months, haha. staying up late cause i was talking on the phone. almost bursting my free smses and of course the increase in the phone bill, haha. But of course, good things don't last forever, sad but that's life, there is nothing i can do about it. When i looked back on my older posts, i realised a lot of things. i guess i was pretty pathetic at those times especially from july onwards, haha. ~~(damm this is turning into an emo post)~~
of course there were times where i had fun and was at some point of time happy.
well life is full of ups and downs, through my secondary 3 i guessed i have learnt quite a lot of things. Sometimes, it is just best to leave things as they are.(some things just cannot go back to the way they once were in the past, i guess)
haha, i wonder how much longer i will ponder over and over again about the past, it seems sleeping late has become a habit, i guess looking back can keep you occupied for quite sometime. haha

well thats all, hope everyone will enjoy themselves this year. all the best to all in our o'levels

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

I has been very long since i posted. had been very busy with my CCA cause of the SDMA competition.
Had my class outing on Saturday, it was very fun. Went there with karthikan at 10 and reached there at 10.30. Then played, later we had the class BBQ. Had some problems at first but later things became much better. after the BBQ we went back to Jacky's house then later stayed up all night and talked to jacky. played some card games. the next day i was very tired. after i went home after i had bath i went to sleep.( i think a sleep from 4 to 7) haha

Lost

2008-10-25T22:02:00.002+08:00

I am so lost, i don't know what to do anymore. It is not that i am not trying, why is this happening. All because i did that???

I am so lost......

The dumb things that i do

2008-10-24T23:34:00.002+08:00

I know i do dumb thing occasionally and today was one of them. i think i really screwed up.

Still waiting......

birthday party

2008-10-18T23:26:00.002+08:00

It was quite fun yesterday, though i missed out on most of the events. i guess i was not so lucky, i lost and had to put my head in the pool. I was hoping it has been John(i ran out of luck). At about 8.45pm, i left and went to see my friends who were going overseas to Shan Dong. By the time we had finished everything it was already 10.20pm and when we got back to Yishun MRT station via bus 858, it was 11.15pm, realised the birthday party was over. We then decided to have dinner at Northpoint, lucky MacDonald's is open 24/7. When i reach home, bathed and slept it was already 1am. Not to mention my junior called me as he had nothing to do. oh well, school holidays are coming. looking forward to my video competition, hopefully everyone can win something.

Exam Grades

2008-10-13T22:39:00.003+08:00

Haha... it has been quite some time since i made a post. This might be a bit late but exams are finally over. lol
so far i have gotten my Chinese, Physics and Biology grades
Expected to get an A1 for my biology, but i guess i got a bit complacent and failed to do a proper revision. and for chinese i managed to pass but i will try harder next time. i will aim to get a B3 for next years first term. i am satisfied for my physics grades and i hope that i will be able to maintain my L1R5.
Also i have just finished "Artemis Fowl and THE TIME PARADOX " today. it is the sixth book in the series. it is very interesting.
i am also involved in a video making competition, just when i thought i can relax.

Finally, all the best to everyone and hope you get the results you wanted.

Upcoming EOY exams

2008-09-20T23:30:00.002+08:00

It has been a quite some time since i last made a post, nothing much really. Just preparing for my end of year exams. since there is nothing much to post i will share my tips on how to study for an exam

Here is the list:

sleep early ( i am trying my best to accomplish this )

start your revision early ( i think it is a bit late to start now , but better late than never )

make your own notes and try drawing mind maps ( it does not really work for me )

keep your distractions away from you ( if you are reading this, it is not a good sign )

if you feel tired, put your books away and take a five minute break ( though try not to keep taking breaks )

make a time table or schedule ( i don't actually do this, but it does help )

organise your notes and books so revision can be made more effectively ( less time finding your notes )

approach your teachers if you need help ( this is very important )

managing your time and planing on what to revise ( prioritise your work )

motivate yourself ( think of all the things you can do after the exams )

I wish everyone all the best in the upcoming exams.

i will post my NJRC Video some other time.

NJRC interview

2008-08-26T20:54:00.003+08:00

Finally, the interview for the NJRC has come, i hope finally after two years in robotics i can at least win a few awards. good news for my exam, i did not fail my A maths, in fact my other subjects were not so bad after all. i guess practice makes perfect, after finish my homework i guess it is back to rehearsing for the interview, all the best to all the other teams. lets all try our best and aim for the top. perhaps after tomorrow i will post the video my group made.

Ups and Downs

2008-08-20T01:26:00.003+08:00

Exams are finally over, but my comprtitions and projects are not. My NJRC is still going on and my exam grades are not doing so well, what irony, i got F9 for my A Maths and A1 for my E maths. Oh well, guess i just have to work harder for next term. i just finished my bio project with my group, finally. i hope we will do well for tomorrow.
I guess things aren't so bad, everything is still ok, thought i don't think things can go back to the way they once where. i'll just have to keep looking forward.
Hope everybody gets good grades this term.

Exam!!!

2008-08-12T17:21:00.002+08:00

Had a very bad start for the exam week, might even fail my A maths, i guess there is a first time for everything. Better work harder for my other papers to make up for this.
All the Best to everyone for the exams

Here is a quote:

“Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.”

Happy Birthday Singapore!

2008-08-09T23:57:00.003+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!
Went to my aunties house for gathering today, exams are coming up. Sometimes i just wish i can get some response. I am not sure of things anymore, sorry for doubting you, i guess i was just thinking too much, though i wish i had your trust. Though i may not be able to help you out, at least of you have anything on you mind, i can listen.

English test tomorrow

2008-08-04T19:32:00.002+08:00

Well, it has been quite some time since i posted. Having problems with my NJRC competition, my robot cannot cross the obstacles, i have to finish it somehow, after all it is my last year joining the NJRC competition.
So much to do so little time, my term test is also coming up, i need to do well for tomorrows English Test Paper 2. Nothing much to study, though i still have other subjects that i need to focus on too, like my Social Studies and Geography.
I guess will be very busy in the next few Weeks doing my revision and NJRC. I hope that this year at least i will be able to win something in the NJRC competition and at the same time do well in my studies.

Here is an interesting quote:
“Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.”

quotes

2008-07-28T21:45:00.002+08:00

here are some interesting quote i found:

“Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.”

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.”

“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope”

“Until this moment, I never understood how hard it was to lose something you never had.”

OMG!

2008-07-24T22:39:00.002+08:00

It has been quite some time since i posted, my AEM(advance Elective Module) is finally over. I have a bit more time now. I still have a lot of notes to make, right now, haiz( my bio, chem, physics). i still have my Social Studies test tomorrow. i wonder if i can do well in it. Recently i try to be happy,lol. Keeping myself busy by listening to songs and doing notes. nothing new, other than preparing for the class assembly performance. just when i thought i had more free time, i guess life is just like that.

AEM Test

2008-07-17T21:15:00.002+08:00

Well tomorrow is my AEM(Advance Elective module) test, which is also the last session. Tomorrow our AEM groups have to present on our findings of the experiment that we had done on 4th July. We are also required to do a written test which will test us on what we had learnt in the past AEM sessions, i feel very nervous as i still have my Chinese homework to do and still revise for tomorrow's test.
However right now, that's the last thing on my mind, things are getting complicated and it seems to me that i have no control over what is happening. No matter how much i try, i am still not getting any response... if only thing's were like how it was in the past, at least i knew what was going on, but now i am so lost... i wish i could do something about it but i can't...

Things are starting to look up

2008-07-15T20:49:00.002+08:00

It seems that thing are back to the way the were, nothing out of the norm happening. I seem to be catching up with my school work and though i am still affected by the few events that have happened recently. I keep getting busier, i guess sec 3 work is not so easy. As the NJRC( National Junior Robotics Challenge) draws closer, i will have to really juggle my schoolwork and my CCA.
I kind of like things the way they are now, few complications and things to think about. However, i wish i could turn the hands of time to change some of the things i had said or done. I guess there is no going back now, i guess i just have to keep moving forward. Though occasionally, i would still look back and think about the past...

Aftershock

2008-07-12T23:51:00.004+08:00

Today did not make things any better even thought i slept in till 11.30am. Still need some to recover from somethings. Not really in the mood to do anything today, wanted to do revise for my three sciences, started with bio, but i stopped at the chapter nutrients. Then i just did nothing, went to surf the net, asked around what homework there was(but didn't do any). Somehow when i wanted to do something, the feeling just died off. Did not really have the appetite to eat ice cream with my parents at swensen's.
Tomorrow, i have maths tuition from 9am-12noon, then come home eat lunch. later at 2pm friends come my house do AEM(advance elective module) PowerPoint and report. It will probably take a lot of time, plus i still have to revise for my Bio test on Monday. I hope there is still a little time for my revision.
I wish i knew what people where thinking, that way perhaps i would not make so many blunders and mistakes. I hope i will do well for Monday's test. To me a lot of thing in my life are falling apart, from which i realised something.

I realised that: " you can't lose what you never had"

Reality of the situation

2008-07-11T23:40:00.006+08:00

Today has been 1 of those days where reality sets in and caused me to reflect about a lot of things.
First of all lets start during lesson time, suddenly i feel as though i have lagged behind in most of the subjects and it seems in order to catch up i have to spend quite a lot of time revising all the work. Time, however is not a luxury i can afford due to my activities.
Next, was during my CCA, i realised that our group has a very big disadvantage and that we are in fact losing out the other groups. This was really demoralising, however i believe that with the right attitude in our team we would be able to win.
The final blow was after school, where something that i did not expect happened. However, if i had thought about it carefully, i would have seen what was happening and not be caught by surprise until it was too late.
The experience was not very pleasant for me, however such things was partially my fault. i was just clinging onto something that some people would consider pointless, a simpler explanation would be clinging on for the sake of clinging on. Perhaps this was because i was just running away from reality or maybe hoping something would happen if i clinged on long enough. This is not the first time such a thing happen to me, in fact it is a second time.
haiz... perhaps i'll cling on for a while more......
If you read this post, please forgive me if i had caused any more problems , i had no intention to contribute to any frustration that you might be already having.

I can hear you out if you have anything you that need to get off your chest, i'll be there to listen to what you have to say.

Learning Style

2008-07-09T21:31:00.002+08:00

Learning style had been both an enriching and painful experience. Painful cause i was thrown on the floor and stuff, and enriching cause i learnt about note taking skills, my learning style, self defence and career setting.
I think that this programme should be offered to more schools and it school start at Secondary one. A lot of things that Mr Teo said were very meaningful and he was really entertaining, from his recounts about his past i realised that if you want to achieve your goal, you need to put in a lot of effort and not only that, you need to make sacrifices and compromises, nothing in the world is free. Also he stated the importance of being aware of the current affairs and had enlightened me in certain issues.
All in all, it was a great experience and i recommend more school to participate the learning style programme.

YTSS concert

2008-07-05T23:24:00.004+08:00

Today was the YTSS concert, lets review what happen today:
9am- reported to school hall. John could not come as he had fever. However, this morning Liang Wei also had fever.( so unlucky)
10am- started to practice and had a rehearsal without teachers, it was nice looking at other groups performances
12.30pm- The rehearsal ended around here and we went for lunch, however because it was raining we had to stay in school. What's worse was that only the drink stall was open and all the sandwiches had been sold out. So i had some snacks and drinks for lunch.
2pm- lunch ended and the teachers went to the hall for their rehearsal, however we could not stay and watch as we to report to the dance studio.
3pm- we had to go to the hall to have a dry run of the hold concert,
4.30pm- the dry run was over and our group when to the canteen to have our dinner. Luckily, dinner was provided. Though i did not finish the whole thing as i had no appetite as it was still very early. After eating we reported back to the dance room for practice and dressing up.
6pm- We reported to class 3E3 and waited for our turn to perform. During this time all of us where very nervous as we will be performing in front of the whole school and also because we made some changes to our dance while waiting.
6pm-10.40- When it was our turn to perform, everyone was even more nervous, however when we performed the were no major hiccups, though there were a few minor ones. After our performance i was very hyper. Everyone went in the hall after that to was the remaining of the concert. The sad thing was that we did not win anything in the YTSS concert and we also got the lowest votes today. At least we put in our best, and did not have any regrets. I will always remember today as it has been a very meaningful day.

Only one thing to say before ending "As long as you put in your best, the results don't matter" and congratulations to the people that have won.

Day Before YTSS concert

2008-07-04T22:52:00.002+08:00

Today was so tiring, after school i had my CCA. Well, CCA was not so bad. When it was 5pm, i left my CCA for rehearsal. The rehearsal was very nice, especially the photon group, twilight. Also, i did not know that some of the staff had hidden talent. Some of the acts done by the staff in school were very entertaining.
The worst thing today was shopping for a new top for the concert as the girls said that the shirt we decided on was too plain( it was a plain white shirt). After the rehearsal, it was about 8pm and we went to northpoint to look for shirts. We just keep walking in circles, until finally we decided on a shirt. Even after we bought the shirt, we had changed it 2 time, once because of the size and the other because we wanted to change the colour of the shirt. I hope we did not cause the sales person any problems.( total cost of 4 shirts: $39.60)
Then Liang Wei and I went to the food court to eat, the food we bought was very nice. The chicken meat was so tender, the soup was also very nice. Finally, by the time i reached home it was already 10pm.
Luckily i finished all my homework. Hope John gets well soon.
As for tomorrow's YTSS concert please Support our dance Group, OURSELVES.

day before the lunch time performance

Haiz, currently discussing what we should wear for the lunch time performance. i think just in case i'll bring both the PE and Class Tee. Since i don't want to be the one causing any problems or being the odd one.

Oh, it seems it has been decided( the dance group is on msn), that we are going to wear Class tee. it makes sense cause we are representing our class after all. Today has been an interesting day, it is Mr Toh's first physics lesson with us, though he was a bit nervous. At least his lessons are interesting.

Today, when i went to class, i got very worried as i thought i had lost the RGB cable. Luckily, Xian Han found it under his desk. After today i realise that i suck at chess. i seriously need to improve, i must win Neoh.(i hope)

here's a quote" A clear conscience is usually a sign of bad memory"

Another day

2008-06-25T22:49:00.006+08:00

School can be so boring, it seems that i am still in the holiday mood. Not really interested in what the teachers are trying to say and i feel very tired, perhaps its due to the fact that i keep sleeping at 12 midnight and waking up at 6.15am in the morning.

I had my Physics spa and did some bio spa planing. Also we had to meet up with the AEM Teachers to tell them how we are going to conduct our experiment, after the meeting, i meet up with john, liang wei, sufyan and the girls in the dance group for practice.
The practice ended at 6.20pm and i still had go for English tuition with last from 6pm to 9pm.

After my tuition, i walked to northpoint and chatted with my tuition mates and left as it was getting late, by the time i got home and bathed it was already 10.10pm. Only then did i start doing my homework. Luckily i only had to do my bio spa skill set 3, which is just planing an experiment.
Good thing too cause, i can finally get a good nights rest and sleep before 12midnight.
that sums up what happened today.

Here's an quote i am going to add to my favorites "Success is never final, and failure is never fatal; it's the courage that counts."

reopening of school

2008-06-24T22:17:00.005+08:00

Oh well, i was too busy on the first day to post anything. But since i am free now i decided to post.

Monday:

I had some trouble waking up , probably because i had slept at 12 the day before. As usual i when to school and went the the various lessons. Even though i am the IT Rep i had become a bit rusty on setting up the laptops and i was very worried when i forgot who the RGB cable was with. luckily for my things went smoothly, except being caught for my hair. Before i went home i had to go to get my haircut, then i went home to do my homework.

After Talking on the phone for quite sometime, i decided to do my English compo. When i finally finished it was already 11.30pm and i got to bed. by the time i slept i think it was about 12 midnight.

Today:

Had to report to school at 7am to get my hair check, lucky i have my father to wake me up if not i think i would have overslept. Then things proceed as usual at school, the only thing that happened was that John slept in Mr Wee's lesson, i almost fell asleep too.(lucky never)

After school i went to Northpoint to look at some games with liang wei, karthikan and farid. at about 3.30pm i reached home. i actually fell asleep when i got tired of doing my homework.

i slept for 1.5 hours then carried on with my homework. I still have to do Research on my AEM project. i dun think i will be sleeping anytime soon, i guess i'm gonna burn midnight oil again. haiz.

Dancing

2008-06-18T23:30:00.010+08:00

It has been quite some time since i posted, i been quite busy with my homework (and learning how to be a counselor).

Lets see what happened today:

I woke up at 8am in the morning and got ready to go to school. Today was another AEM(advance elective module) lesson, though it was only theory work, i realised that there is still a lot that i have left to learn.

Though i had to leave early at 2pm for my dance practice (i hope i did not miss anything important). It ended at about 5.30pm( i think), the boys in the dance group decided that we had to improve as since we joined this concert and made it to the finals, i feel that we should give it our best shot. So the boys ended up practicing at my house since 6pm to 10.55pm( that's about 4.5 hours) i hope we had done well enough

I also know that I had made some comments about someone, i apologise if i had hurt your feelings in any way. I am Sorry.

I would now like to apologise to the my dance mates that i am sorry and that if you see my blog
i hope you will forgive us and allow us to continue to work with you, it really been an enriching experience. I am Sorry.

I'll give a brief summary of what happened in the past few days.

16 June, 2008:

The AEM(advance elective module) first practical. It was scary at first since my group had to recrystallise Salicylic acid, which is a strong irritant. However, i soon realised that it does have it fun parts, like learning to operating various equipment that my school does not have.
it was an valuable experience. We also had gotten a free lab coat, we even made our own aspirin though the percentage yield was only 47.9%

17 June, 2008:

It was our second AEM(advance elective module) practical. Though i felt it was not as interesting as it was only determining iron concentration in natural water, though through this practical i had learnt a lot about how the UV spectrometer works and how to use it. and after that i had to go back to school to practice for the YTSS concert. During the practice, i felt that we could have done better.

Handwriting test

2008-06-09T18:17:00.009+08:00

Oh well i tried the handwriting test, it can be quite interesting. Not sure if it is true or not, what do you people think??? Try it too, it can be quite fun. http://www.handwritingwizard.com/

Welcome Chan Weng Wan, here is your handwriting analysis.

Chan Weng Wan is a very emotional person with a broad range of emotions from the highest highs to the lowest lows. He feels emotional situations very strongly. He'll flash to the very peaks of elation, sweeping everything before him. Then, for some reason unknown to himself, he will burn out emotionally. These mood swings can be very disturbing to him. Sometimes, he feels that he can no longer produce anything. But, after given some time alone to "recharge his emotional batteries", he will spring back into action.

Because Chan Weng Wan feels situations intensely, he relates easily to others' problems. If he is not careful, when he comes into contact with someone who is in a depressed frame of mind, he will also suffer the same emotions and change moods. Chan Weng Wan reacts impulsively, without much thought before hand. He may plan everything in detail before he even begins, then do it completely different when the time comes to carry it through.

Chan Weng Wan has a strong need for affection. He thrives on touching and being touched. Chan Weng Wan desires being told that he is loved, every day. He enjoys being the center of attention. He loves attention, sometimes he even retells stories that got him attention earlier.

Chan Weng Wan has the possibility of being a actor or natural born salesperson, simply because he relates so well to other people. He likes expressing how he feels, what he is doing, and what he plans to do. He is a people person.

He will work most efficiently in a people orientated job as opposed to a job working alone on an assembly line (that would drive him insane.)

People that write very large tend to be very social and friendly. It seems Chan Weng Wan has this type of writing. This indicates a need for people and a particular natural ability to socialize and be the life of the party. Now, if Chan Weng Wan also has specific fears (like fear of criticism or fear of trust) then he will deny he is the life of the party, because fear has overcome his natural inclination to be social. People with large handwriting tend to be effective at anything that requires interaction with lots of people. he is a people person.

Chan Weng Wan will be candid and direct when expressing his opinion. He will tell them what he thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want his opinion, don't ask for it!

In reference to Chan Weng Wan's mental abilities, he has a very investigating and creating mind. He investigates projects rapidly because he is curious about many things. He gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but he soon must slow down and look at all the angles. He probably gets too many things going at once. When Chan Weng Wan slows down, then he becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, he must slow down to do it. He then decides what projects he has time to finish. Thus he finishes at a slower pace than when he started the project.

He has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. His mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. He can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Chan Weng Wan can then switch into his low gear. When he is in the slower mode, he can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. He is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

Chan Weng Wan has very high goals. He has many big dreams that will be difficult to make happen. One way for Chan Weng Wan to make these dreams become reality is to surround himself with people that do not have as much "vision", but have the ability to see these projects through. Sometimes he has a new and better dream every day, thus forgetting about yesterday's plans. Chan Weng Wan's plans can be extremely successful only if he sees them through. He dreams of great things. Chan Weng Wan will be more successful if he sets his goals more realistically. His goals are so high that he will have a hard time reaching them. It only takes a small stroke adjustment to bring these dreams from the dream stage to reality. He is self confident. He believes these dreams can be achieved and he is the person to do it. This belief in himself leads him to over-sell his abilities. He is capable of great things, just not always as great as he makes them seem to be.

One way Chan Weng Wan punishes himself is self directed sarcasm. He is a very sarcastic person. Often this sarcasm and "sharp tongued" behavior is directed at himself.

Chan Weng Wan has a need to be in control of his own life. He is a strong individual that can control situations to his advantage. This person can take control of a situation. He likes control and has the ability to control people without getting them offended.

Chan Weng Wan has difficulty trusting anyone. In fact, he trusts no one completely. This is a result of his trust being betrayed in the past. He has closed up, thus ceasing to allow close friendships. Chan Weng Wan truly wants close friends and desires physical relationships, but he fears he will get hurt, again. He is lonely, yet has a crying need for close friends. This trait can cause much unhappiness. However, it can be changed.

Chan Weng Wan has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. He lets new people into his circle of friends. He uses his imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.

Chan Weng Wan exaggerates about everything that has a physical nature. Although he may not intend to deceive or mislead, he blows things way out of proportion because that is the way he views them. He will be a good story teller. This exaggeration relates to all areas of his material world. Chan Weng Wan allows many people into his life because he is accepting and trusting. He is sometimes called gullible by his friends. That only really means that he trusts too many people. Chan Weng Wan has a vivid imagination.

For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Chan Weng Wan has left lots of white space on the left side of the paper. Chan Weng Wan fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion. If this is true, then Chan Weng Wan has a healthy relationship to the past and is ready to move on. The right side of the page represents the future and Chan Weng Wan is ready and willing to get started living now and planning for the future. Chan Weng Wan would like to leave the past behind and move on.
