I. Need. Sleep.

BUT

Sleep. Is. For. The. Weak...

*falls into a deep slumber*

Alright! I'll have to admit that I'm weak. I've been sleepwalking around hc for the past few weeks. The workload is really a royal pain in the... cranium.

I think I can cope with the workload, but I'm seriously too lazy to do all the tutorials. =P Can't wait for the march holidays! That would be a GREAT time to *ahem* slack *ahem* erm... I meant MUG! Why of course.

Unable to be as enthu nowadays compared to the time when we were JUMPSTARTING!!!
No matter how much sleep I get each night, I inevitably wake up with an odd feeling the next day. The increasingly annoying ringing of the alarm clock seems to make the gravitational field strength of the earth approach infinity. Hearing my mum attempting to wake me up seems to increase my mass significantly.

Since W = mg,

Waking up on time every morning is a great challenge!
Oh no. I'm digressing. Basically, I need a HOLIDAY!

I'm really sorry if I've been grumpy to anyone lately. Especially to my ILP group, which largely consists of super enthu people, minus me. Yep. Kind of doubt any of you actually KNOW that I have a blog, but I do appreciate all your enthusiasm and jokes! (but I can't figure out why guys tend to have a better sense of humour than girls.) Today's ILP discussion was quite fun, with the silly 'human graphs' and all.
Should've have played a more active role in the discussion today. Gah. But I'm still not very comfortable about talking to guys for now. Hope I get used to it soon.


Weekends are like resultant forces. They give me the all the momentum I need to go through another week of school.

Looking back, JC1 life seems to be a harsher version of sec 4 life in tkgs. It has much more rigour, and requires good time management skills for survival.

Just being random! (as usual)

Alright! So this post is really outdated, but HEY! I'm posting!!! Hehe. And it's going to be loaded with pictures, so enjoy! =)

During the end of January... guess who visited Hwachong?

Royston Tan!

Liu Ling Ling from the 881 movie also came to belt out some Hokkien tunes from the movie!



Found this furry pink plant in the garden located in the place where the lecture theatres are.

CCA PROMOTION DAY IN TKGS! (19 January 08)

(Yes. I miss TKGS so much that I went back on a SATURDAY!)
Met Julia, Jael, Samantha, and finally Chun Ling at the bus stop outside pizza hut. (names are in order of appearance) For some odd reason, it felt really heartwarming and nostalgic to see them there again... My life in TKGS would have been completely meaningless without all of you!
We visited the art room and helped Mdm Seah do some mundane admin work, like stapling worksheets. Nonetheless... It was fun! =D We took A LOT of stupid pictures out of boredom, too. Visit Jael's blog (under the links section in the sidebar) for the pictorial evidences of our sheer boredom. That day really reminded me of the good old times we had in TK. =) Ahhh. I feel old. *strokes non-existent beard*


Looking back now, I've realised that our seniors were right in telling us two things after they graduated:

1) You'll realise that TK canteen food (AND the food in general around TK, eg the chicken rice stall outside TK) is really heavenly only AFTER you've tried JC food. (I second that!!!!! With all my heart.) Seriously, juniors! You will regret all the times you visited Videoworld, to happily feed on unhealthy(!) instant noodles! You should really eat more TK food... like the Briyani Rice, western food, whatever! JC food really sucks. =S

2) Cherish your friends in TK now. They are probably some of the best friends you'll ever have in your mugger life. Sigh. I should have realised that earlier.

为什么人总是在失去之后, 才会懂得珍惜?

SIGH. (again) I guess all you ex-tk girls out there feel the same way too. But being in Hwach makes the magnitude of the sad situation gargantuan... due to the paucity of TK girls here.


-The canteens in hwach lack the high-frequency-and-high-amplitude-soundwaves. (aka screaming! =P)

-My eyes are not accustomed to the sudden disappearance of green. Don't you miss that colour?

-I miss being with SLS, talking rubbish over our HEAVENLY canteen food(note the emphasis), and competing with Julia to see who can finish their cup of Milo in a shorter span of time. And not to mention... making the weird UFO-ish sound with our straws.

-I miss performing the Tiger Moth dance/song with Nina, and watching Bahiah and Cassandra sulk(inverse) at our bad sense of humour.

-I miss watching the lower-sec people rush into the canteen as a frenzied mob whenever the bell rings at 10.45am. (hehe. TKGS girls gone wild. That scene is the perfect antithesis of our school motto, which is, ironically, Demure and Resolute. ROFL)


OKAY! So. I've fulfilled my sec 3 academic dream of seeing my picture up on the projector screen before getting my O level results back. And I'm in my dream school now... I've dreamt of being in Hwach ever since I was a (noob) secondary 1 girl. This is just a displacement reaction. The old must make way for the new. And I (the non-metallic element) have to make the best of the opportunity given to me now. Bye bye Fe 2+ ion! And hello Pb 2+ ion! (um. The Hwach uniform is beige... the closest I could think of was yellow.)


And that means that I have to go finish my magical self-regenerative pile of tutorials now!

Just kidding. I'm leaving that for tomorrow, hee!


K. Enough of my linguistic crap, it's time for pictorial crap!
(picture taken outside the Art Room)
HOW DARE YOU FLUSH MY FAVOURITE EQUATION DOWN THE TOILET?! ROAR

The art room partition! With paintings of sausage-lipped people.

The picture says it all.

JOIN INFOCOMM CLUB HOR!!! It's the best CCA in TKGS! ( <-- an extremely biased opinion)

Abstract art painting by our very own TALENTED Mdm Seah! =D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And finally, my feeble attempts at trying to make my photos look artistic. Hehe. Hope Jael can comment on them. All pics shown below were taken using my Sony Ericsson K850i 5mpx camera, in macro mode. (it's in a TV commercial now. Remember the guy taking a pic of the alien toy in various places, and then showing the pics to his son?)


Many people say that the buttons used in this phone are a chore to press. Honestly, I find them pretty ok. However, the three touch-sensors below the screen took me a few days to get used to. Users with bigger fingers should try out the buttons before they decide to buy this phone, though. The aesthetics of the phone are good, but not as appealing as the Motorola V3 Razr. I'm happy with the functions, though. Personally, I think that functionality is way more important! (the same goes for choosing bfs... that's what my mum said. Haha!) Hence the purchase of this phone made me a happy girl. =D


Nice mah?



-----------------------------------------------------

Oh. I had some fun with my new graphic calculator!
1) I zhng-ed it with lots of rhinestones. Hehe.

2) After some experimentation, I drew a star with my GC. Try it!

See the star in the middle? =)

Star Watch 2008! (organised by the HC Astronomy Club =D)


Venue: LT at Science Research Centre
The opening powerpoint slide.

Philip giving a briefing.


Green laser pointer. =)
And the 3 stars of Orion's Belt are Alnitak, Mintaka, and... Mintaka? (audience: Alnilam lah... =p)




Above the school field, observing the cloudy skies with telescopes. The sky was reddish and all, so I didn't see much. But we did manage to see Mars. =D
(Heh. I just HAD to use the camera flash to get a good picture!!! And now I bet everyone at astro hates me for doing that. =P But I guess it's okay, since more visual purple will be generated in your eyes after all. Hehe. Get more Vitamin A in your diet.)
