Today, I had to do CIP around the SengKang area.. We had to collect newspapers, unwanted clothes etc.. Similar to a rag-and-bone man.. There are kind souls who offered to help us.. It was kinda great.. Anyway, during the afternoon, we went to watch a movie. War Of The Worlds. This is the first time, I shed tears for a movie. Why? This movie clearly shows that ManKind can do anything in order to survive. For instance, Tom Cruise killed a man to shut him up so that his daughter would be protected. (Aliens can hear them.) From an uncaring father to someone who tried to protect his daughter and son, I would give the movie 8/10. It really blends well with Science-Fiction and social reality. But, the ending was lame.. The aliens were killed because of bacteria ; they breathed our air, thats why they started to die. Nevertheless, Steven Spielberg had done a great job. Oh, Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning, they're great too!

Terribly pissed off. I had Daniel that idiot who called me a bootlicker. Saying that I "por" the vice-principal. What's his problem? Anyway, I had a shock after I reach home, I was experiencing a blackout! Thanks to the stubborness of my dad and refusal of paying the utilities bill, the electricity was cut off. I was irate. VERY PISSED OFF. I ate my dinner with a torch-light when it was pitch-black. I wonder how can I sleep through the night with no air-con or even a fan. I have to bathe with no lights on and cold water. Now, the electricity will be reconnect the next day. I seriously hope my father learns a lesson. I am in a terrible mood.. Argh.. I wonder if I can get my P.E attire by tomorrow..I couldn't use the washing-machine, and WORST OF ALL, I am worried for my fishes in the tank!! It's the first time I experience such a terrible black-out.. Alright enough of my whining.

I am writing this because I am in my grandma's house now. We had to go to iron our clothes...I am trying to figure out how I am going to sleep through the night..

Alright gotta stop here.. Imma be greeted with pitch-black after I reach home. God bless and take care.. best wishes..

It's a unforgettable day. Let's not talk about what happened in school. Let's talk about what happen AFTER school. The Vice-Principal summoned both 4N1 and 4N2 to the hall to talk to us. He talked about the mentality that we guys have, stressing the importance of urgency once again, and compared 'N' level with kindergarten certificates. Saying that foreign students can do much better than locals if they had the opportunity to come here to study. I was flabbergasted by his tone. He seems to be a nonchalant and nice guy but when he is serious, he gets down to business. Anyway, I was also surprised that he even asked our subject teachers in, encouraging them to say out the feelings of teaching us. Perhaps some but not MOST, were incorrigible. What's even appalling is that we were warned that if our attitude sucks and continue not to do our assigned homework, we were to be kicked out of school. We were even made to sign a committment letter, saying that at any point of time, if we play truancy and doesn't do any homework, we'll be kicked out of school..

About the whole speech, I only had 1 thing to say. If Mr Yong had the intention of making me change for the better, he succeeded. Effective to some, I must say, but I can't understand why some people hate him after that talk. Totally no clue.

I did some soul-searching and decided what I gonna do. Hope you guys had the strong mentality now. Gotta go now, god bless you. Best wishes.

Yeah, we tried it at Changi Airport.. It's really quiet and cooling..Nice place to study.. But food's expensive.. No grumbling.. hehe.. Anyway, I revised algrebra the whole day.. So tiring.. We were studying well.. After that, we went around, and we took the Skytrain, not forgetting to go to the viewing mall, where the aeroplanes took off are held.. Cool indeed.. I also saw some pretty caucasians.. I'm not lusting,don't worry.. Haha.. nice trip indeed.. Gotta stop here.. Been so tired.. Gotta revise again next week.. Hehe.. God bless and take care!


Thanks to Serene and Faezah!
I woke up at around 9.30am.. Gotta prepare to go to chemistry remedial.. Hmmm, I was late for a few minutes.. Anyway, Mrs Teo taught some new chapters.. Managed to know some.. Also, I heard that Liang Zhi's been back from Hong Kong.. Probably around 1 week. Guess he had lots of fun. I've finally finished my artefact, and wanted to bring it home.. But it was SO fragile, it broke when I accidentally hit it.. Great, now I need the help of Mr Yusri to help me stick back by using chloroform. I'll be bringing back home.. Also, Justin was copying my design. I was making a dipper and he a stirrer and dipper.. What the.. Ah, hope my overall beats him. I believe tomorrow's gonna be a great day. I'll be going to study at Changi Airport with 3 of my friends. Pretty cool right? It's a marvellous idea. Gonna find some quiet place for some serious study.. Because 2 of them will be having their 'O' levels..Let's just hope it turns out well. June holidays is going to end pretty soon.. I'm praying that I pass my 'N' levels well. Alright, gotta stop here.. God bless and take care! Best wishes, reader.


Special thanks to Serene and Faezah for the help you've given me. Don't expect me to get distinction. But expect me to do my best.

I am so tired.. my schedule is so tight. Uh.. Gotta stop here, I still got some work to do.. God bless and take care.

Been a while since I've blog. You see, I participated in the Vistarian Race and my body and legs were aching for the past few days.. We were among the first actually, but were stuck at the Palawan beach. The race clearly sucks. The rules were unclear. Some teams were given the clue to Siloso beach while some to Palawan beach.. In the end, the person was in the middle.(if you know what i mean) And what's worse, the race made 2 teachers quarrel. Mr Devan and Mrs Bryan. Mrs Bryan said Mr Devan shouldn't help his team to spell the word just because he was an English teacher. Mr Devan then said there wasn't any rule to say that an English teacher cannot help to spell English words. Ridiculous right? Ah, poor Miss Tan, she was feeling giddy after the first checkpoint, and had to return home..In the end, Ms Ezarin came and took over.. Anyway, among the 26 teams, we came in 24th. Kinda bad result, but we lost with honour. Unlike other teams, who took rides when the rules had said they weren't supposed to. The irony is that some of them were from integritas, which means integrity. But all in all, it was nothing but a very tired race. Probably the worse one I've ever experienced. But I got to say that our team was one with motivation. My teammates were encouraging each other.. etc.. However, if there were to be another race next year, there will be doubts that I will join the race again. Anyway, today, I did alot for my practical for D&T.. My othe friends left me alone.. Oh well.. Some of my friends birthdays are in the next few days.. Felicia, Guan Jie, Khai Theng etc.. May God bless them. And God bless you.


Oh, wanna wish Felicia and Mr Malvin Lim a very happy birthday!!! May God bless over you guys and all the very best for 2005!

I went to school early in the morning for choir.. Mr Liew had something to tell us.. about SYF.. He forgot to bring the comments but said the comments were quite good.. We nearly attained gold. 2 judges said we should get gold while the other 3 objected. So we got the highest silver. But its ok.. We tried our best.. than he said about our studies.. planning for June holidays etc.. I gotta work hard during the june holidays.. oh well.. Anyway, after school, me, yan tong, jun ping, jia yi and yingying went to Sim lim tower to buy D&T stuff.. Some people there were very rude and showed poor service.. In the end, I bought nothing but just a switch. What's more infuriating is that, after we reached there, Mr Yusri said he knows how to make and modify it... Argh.. so pissed off.. Went to a far place, but wasted trip... There was a sad news.. Someone in our school died. I cannot name names.. but he died of asthma attack.. I felt so sad.. I knew the boy.. It was certainly heart-wrenching. I thought: Why was this such an unfair world? He was a very nice and obedient boy.. Yet he had to die when he was 14.. Why? Why? I am very sad.. If his family would need some financial help, I will donate some money.. Haizz, why like that? My mood is really very bad.. I really hope God will bless his soul and his family. Life is so unpredictable.. Please treasure the people around you. God bless everyone and take care.. :(

It's been quite some time since I posted. Sorry. Anyway, I went to my grandma's house today. My grandma cried, saying that she had dragged the whole family..(She suffered a stroke.) My grandpa also cried, telling her not to be like that.. The atmosphere was very bad.. I nearly cried too. You see, she's been to those therapy and acupuncture but nothing seems to help, even though she's progressing kinda fast. She even thought of dying. Luckily, we were there to motivate her.. Anyway, I was recalling the past.. Come to think of it, time really flies. From my primary school days.. Ahh, Amanda, Joey.. Guess there's still others but they doesn't recognise me.. At Compassvale Pri.. Ivan, Feng wei.. All came to NVSS and we still study together.. Javier, Jeffrey and others.. Some went to Catholic High.. How bout those teachers? I still can't forget them. Mdm Usha, Mrs Arif, Mrs Wee... Ah... Secondary school.. Thought about 1n1.. Lynn, she left school.. How bout Maria? She migrated to Canada.. Wei Jian, Aik San.. retained.. Now we doesn't even talk..How bout Audrey? She got promoted to Express.. Thought about 4n2.. Seperated from 4n1.. thinking about now.. and the future... I really don't know.. I don't wanna believe that friends come and go. Yes, maybe not as close.. but at least stay in contact.. Oh well.... All the best and God bless.

I've taken back all my results. Here it is, if you're interested to know.

SA1

Elective History 13/50
Social Studies 26/50
(Overall combined humanities 39/100)

English Language Paper1 24/30 (Composition) 25/30 (Report on missing valuables)
English Language Paper2 54/80

Overall English Language Paper 74.6/100

Geography Paper1 & 2 47.5/100

Design & Technology 50/100

Elementary Maths 35/100

Chinese Language Paper 2 41/80
Chinese Composition 32.5/50
Chinese Letter Writing 10.5/20

Combined Science (Elective Physics and Chemistry) 42/100




As you can see, I did better for social studies than in elective history. No comments for combined humanities. But I still have high hopes for it in 'N' level. English paper 1, I did extremely well. Paper 2 was lower thanks to my mistake in the summary. Nevertheless, I still score well and only 0.4 marks close to getting A1. Geography paper, I was 2.5 marks short to getting the minimum passing mark. I have to admit I was a letdown for Geography paper. But my overall marks will pulled the marks up. I did badly, but I will try my best next time. Design and technology I got the minimum passing mark. I was expecting to score higher for it, but oh well, speechless. E Maths. It was the most letdown subject among all. I was hoping to pass, only to be killed in paper 2, no thanks to the miscalculations of the cumulative frequency curve. Hopefully, I will pass my maths in 'N' level. I will work hard for it. Trust me. I won't despair and give up hope easily. For chinese language, I wouldn't give the overall because I hadn't received my listening paper marks. So I am estimating myself to get around B3. As for combined science, I got 42/100. Physics Paper 2 was a total letdown. I got no comments. But for Chemistry, I managed to score well and pushed the marks to 42. Guess thats all. Well seriously, I am going to paid double attention to my combined science and humanities, and the most important of all, E Maths. I must not let Mrs Yap down. I must not let myself down. That's for today. I am quite moody. May God bless everyone with good marks. May god bless you. Best wishes.

Kinda bad day for me. I was doing Geograhpy paper. All seems to goes well except section B.. I just couldn't remember the river processes. To think I study on the weekends for hours, yet my mind just gone blank. Maybe I'll do badly. Tomorrow's D&T and Elective history, guess I stop brooding about Geography and continue with the rest of the paper.. oh well.. God bless everyone...

It's been quite a while since I blog. Well, I was busy preparing for exams and had no time to blog. Mid-year examinations had begun. For yesterday's Mother Tongue paper, I think I can, well, at least get a B3. Today was bad. I believe I will do well for my paper 1, but I am not displaying my potential this time that much. For paper 2, it was all well except for summary. The instructions said not more than 130 words. But I exceed way that limit to 217 words. When I realise it, the time was over. It certainly dashed my hopes of getting A1, since the summary accumulate to 20 marks. Well, but I believe I can still pass the summary, just the marks only. I believe my language and content is quite strong for that. Well, let's just hope my paper 1 and 2 will get in an A1. Hope my prayers are answered. The only thing that I can blame myself is poor time management. No matter what marks I get, I deserved it. Anyway, tomorrow's Social Studies paper. I've been racking my brains to memorise the chapters, trying to forget the grave mistake I made for the English summary. Hope I do well for all papers, especially maths and science. That's it, gonna stop here. May god bless everyone for their exams.

Lastly, congratulations to Mr Malvin Lim of the birth of a healthy baby boy named Malcolm!

After that, I went for my NAPFA test.. Great, I failed my inclined pull-up. But I think I pass others except pull-up and standing broad jump.. Haha.. Anyway after that, I went home.. Just now, I went to Compass Point to browse computer tables.. Bleh, so little choices, especially Courts. Next week is Mid-Year exams.. wishing everyone all the best. Gotta stop here.. God bless and take care!

Tonight was an unforgettable night. It was my swan's performance (Last performance) for this year. Well, I came back to school in the afternoon to do some choir-related things.. Let's cut things short and go straight to Speech Day. Well, Ms Elim Chew was the Guest-Of-Honour of the year. She was probably the most down-to-earth GOH that I've ever known. As the managing director and founder of 77th Street, she let us watch some breakdancing. She talked and I was listening attentively. What she said had really make sense. After that, she gave out 77th Street vouchers to people who came up on stage. It meant that no matter what items you buy in any 77th Street chain stores, it only costs $5. Very cool indeed. Of course, many people took it.. I was kinda surprised that Feng Wei went up to take it. The voucher was certainly attractive. But I didn't want to take. After that, she talked about the 3 types of people, opportunities and so on. When it was the Prize-Giving ceremony, I was kinda happy and nervous. When I went up on stage, she smiled at me and I smiled back. She said: "Waa, your English so good. Keep it up." I immediately replied: Thanks. It's my honour to meet you. We smiled again and received the prize from her and shook hands and I gave her a light bow before bowing a Japanese bow towards the audience. I had a very good impression of Ms Chew. After walking down the stage, I went to the lecture room to prepare for singing. Choir was the first to go on stage and we recieved loud clappings from the audience. We sang Resonemus Laudibus and Potong Padi respectively. It was nice. But I was sweating all over. It went to my eyes and my mouth.. Yeah, disgusting you may say, but we performers need to have stage manners.. So I couldn't wipe it off. Something interesting happened. When finishing the last song, immediately after we sang "Pa-di!" A balloon bursts and caused a loud noise. It was perfect timing indeed. Too coincidental. It sparked off a loud round of applause. After performing, we went to the AVA room.. Well, it was very sad. Alot of choristers were crying because the sec 4s were leaving.. Tonight was the last performance of the sec 4s. Yeah, we cut the cake, took alot of pictures.. Most of the girls were crying and some of the boys too.. I was crying in my heart but I didn't want to show it out. I hugged alot of my choir mates.. We were quite sad.. It was like a sad atmosphere.. But after that, we thank Mr Francis Liew and the teachers.. And we ate the packet of dinner they provided. After that, all of us went home.. I was wearing my choir costume.. Oh god, I was in the centre of attraction in the public.. Gosh.. How I wish I could teleport back home. Anyway, I asked the feedback of some of my friends and they said the choir did a very good job. The songs were nice but they did not understood what we were singing. It's ok.. at least you guys enjoyed the performance.. :) Some even said they could hear my voice loud and clear.. even though they were far.. Hehe I am so happy tonight.. Alright, I am feeling very tired.. Gotta stop here.. God bless and take care..Thanks for reading.


I would like to thank the following:

Mr Francis Liew
Mdm Tay
Mdm Wee
Mrs Lee
And a chinese teacher-in-charge of choir.
The choristers..and alot more and those whom I knew. My swan's performance wouldn't be successful without you guys help. Thanks alot. Oh, I really hope to meet Ms Elim Chew again. She's a good role model. Well, for her entreprenial success of course! =)


OH, THANKS A MILLION FOR READING! =D

It was a good day indeed. My English composition came in 1st in class. I wasn't expecting this, since the last time, Mr Malvin Lim said Julianna's compo was the best so far.. However, my skills of English essay had got me the place of being first. Finally, my credibility will speak for myself. Now, I am trying to find more suitable words to widen my vocabulary. I've got to admit that the reading log is very useful.. I am trying to improve even better or at least keep on the standard.. Anyway, after school, I had to stay back for the Speech Day.. felt so tired.. Mr Francis Liew came today and we ran through the songs..Bass gone horribly wrong.. I am looking forward to this friday, Speech Day.. 77th Street Managing Director, Ms Elim Chew (Hope I spell it correctly.) was our Guest-Of-Honour.. Gets to shake her hand.. :D Alright gotta stop here.. So sad.. couldn't log in to Friendster.. :( Anyway, God bless and take care.. Best wishes to everyone..

I couldn't blog yesterday because I was way too tired and I was knocked out immediately after I hit the bed. Well yesterday, we had a great time in Escape Theme Park. I played nearly every ride but for 1 ride, it was on maintenance check for the whole day so we couldn't play.. Other rides were fun, except that someone vomitted while in the Pirate Ship. We also played rides like Alpha 8 (Panasonic). Very cool, and there was this caucasian, who was inside the theatre and he came out and said to us : "Hello, my name's Harry." We replied : " Well, my name's potter.. We had a great laugh.. Anyway, Mr Chin made a surprise trip from Australia to Singapore, just to watch NV Symphonic Band. He came to Escape Theme Park with us and had a great time, screaming his head off for some rides.. Mr and Mrs Yap were present too.. They were so lovey-dovey.. I talked to Mr Yap about his occupation, and could see he was quite friendly.. Anyway, Mr Chin, Mr and Mrs Yap went early.. and the others stayed till quite late.. We had our dinner at the food court and we went to Hougang Plaza to play lan.. After that, some of us went home while some stayed and played for a while..I was so tired.. And today, I woke up at around 10am and we had to pray our ancestors at the Lim Chu Kang Cemetery. The weather was surprisingly cool, not as hot as last year, when the blazing sun was scorching. At night, I was kinda tired after watching the NKF Charity Show.. I saw how poor some of them were.. and I felt that God was so unfair.. It's ironic that God gave me a good life, yet I am 'saying' him.. Despite all the efforts the artistes showed, I called only 2 times.. Alright, gotta stop here.. felt kinda tired.. All the best. Best wishes and God bless everyone!

Some things happened today. During elective history class, Julianna fainted. She was standing when she suddenly collapsed and the table toppled. The class was shocked.. and the other girls and me helped Julianna up. Some said she didn't exercise and she was on diet. Because of that, she felt weak and fainted. But she's alright now. I had my chinese test but I didn't had the time to finish it. WHat's more, today's English comprehension, I just couldn't concentrate and finish it cos' the class was way too noisy. Argh, I was so pissed off. Anyway, 2 of the performing arts had got back their results. Modern Dance got glamourous gold while Band obtained a shimmering silver. Band wasn't quite pleased and most of the girls cried.. All I can say is that, don't be sad. At least you guys didn't deprove. Don't think too much about it. Last but not least, congratulations to Modern Dance for clinching the Gold award. The last performing art is Drama. All the best.


The results of SYF 2005 for North Vista Performing Arts:
(In alphabetical order)

Band obtained SILVER
Choir obtained SILVER
Chinese Dance obtained GOLD WITH HONOURS
Drama obtained ??? (Results released in a later date.)
Modern Dance obtained GOLD

Today, woke up early in the morning.. than went to school for speech day..I was one of the prize winners and we had to do the walking up and down procedure. After that, choir sang and it was a break.. Whoa, I was utterly impressed by Tisa.. 4 straight years for getting the best in English Language for Express. Wow! Way too cool.. Hope to make friends with her and learn more from her.. After school, I went for D&T but Mr Lim asks us to do it at home so I had nothing to do.. so I went to English remedial.. After that, went to Jun Ping's house to do some work.. K la, that's all for today.I am so tired.. Gotta stop here.. have a nice day and best wishes..
