Novy

November is my second favourite month of the year, following December. As my school days come to an end, it might not be true anymore after this year. Everyday would be so similar =(

What a rare week! Alternate holidays, so cool: break, work, break, work, break, work then break for 2 days again. Of course for us students there is no diff but when we grow up and start to work, we'll begin to realise how precious such public holidays are.

It seems like almost every 2 days I'm receiving Navy related stuff, be it magazines, pamphlets or invitations, but no enlistment letter!!! Maybe they are waiting for the Navy to give out all its freebies before finally throwing in The Letter. Sadly, I've been ignoring most of the Navy stuff. I've no interest in Navy but yet they insist in sending their handouts to me >_< When my father suggested that my name has already been noted down in the Navy recruits list, I suddenly remember what I've done a few months ago...writing my name and address in the "Interested in Navy Scholarship" list during Scholarship day. Gosh! >_< Felt very compelled to write at that time. Imagine when the Navy personnel took so much effort to intro Navy to you, you can't possibly say "sry I no interested in navy, sry to waste your breath" right? Noooo...I dun want to go into Navy!!! Gimme my enlistment letter!!!




You know who's responsible for this lah.



Talking abt Navy, it has been a long long time ever since I took a ship/boat. IIRC the last time I've been on the seas was during my adventure to Thailand, in Primary 6. (The sentosa restaurant ship not counted -___-)

My mum wanted to buy me a GP guidebook to improve my GP. As if such books will help lar... If that's the case everyone would have gotten A1 for GP liao.

After much consultation, I've more or less decided what to wear for prom already. Ok, can finally get on with my studies. <_<

夜曲

Just as I tot I could finish up the games/comics that I've been indulging in for the past few weeks (so that I can start my revision proper), there are more to come...>_< Yesterday my bro just intro me a new game titled Shadow of the Colossus. The whole game only comprises a series of boss fights with gigantic creatures but they can be very exciting! Also, few days ago I started to watch the anime 'Bleach'. (my first anime ever!) Watched a few episodes only but hopefully it will get more interesting later. (currently downloading...) With so many "hindrances" how to study?! Nvm...one more week to settle all my stuff.

Ya ya...actually everything boils down to my self-discipline. Even my mum is nagging at me like crazy already. But the problem is, if I dun complete all the things I'm enjoying right now, I'll be very distracted during the A lvl period and unable to concentrate...then that's even worse right? (Wah, very good excuse hor?)

Dota ah? Uh...interest died alr. May revive in the future though.

I realised this year HC J1 FM students so poor thing. Block test and Promos so difficult. (saw their papers just now) Maybe I shld scan some qns here next time.

Was thinking abt how I'm going to spend my post A lvl holidays (ya, at this time -__-) when prom suddenly came to my mind. Absolutely no idea what to wear for that night. Dun want to be too formal (weird) nor too casual (inappropriate). I know the girls would usually go shopping and spend a lot of $$$ for their dresses/accessories. But guys leh? Nvm...shall go consult ppl.

Anyway did anyone notice that my blog layout appears to be a bit screwed up? Ya, it happened after I put in my scanned pics. Sry my html knowledge you3xian4gong1si1 paiseh hor...have to make my readers' eyes suffer. Lazy to correct it also...hehe.

Sry no pics in this entry...too lazy liao...

...

...But after much thought I think I shld put at least one:





Ye Qu MTV. IMO only the chorus sounds nice.



All you Jay fans thank me... (as if I did anything great liddat...)

What if...

Imagine one late morning you are sitting peacefully at your computer surfing websites. Then out the blue your handphone rings, you pick it up and hear your classmate in a concerned tone, "Hello, why didn't you come to school to sit for the paper today? We can't get through your phone this morning and all of us thought something has happened..." You quickly look at the clock, which shows 11.10am, just after the end of a 3-hour paper. You open the msn window, true enough, none of your friends who are taking A levels this year are online at all. You had thought that it is still early and hence few people would be online. You then dig out the entry proof from your dusty bag and realise that the first day of exam is indeed...today...

Maybe some of you have been enjoying the "study break" so much that you lost track of time, not knowing which day is which. For your info, today is Monday 24th October 2005 (I typed the date directly from my memory, with no reference to anything. If you can do the same that means you're still aware of time, despite not going to sch) As long as October may seem, no it's not November yet. No, the first paper does not start next week, it starts on the week after. Both Hari Raya and Deepavali fall before A lvls. It seems like there is still a long long way to go right?

*Sry to those non-A lvl ppl...I seem to have neglected all of you...hehe*

For the Ou De Yang thingy I heard his identity has already been revealed in the chinese newspapers some days ago. Sry for being so swakoo. If you want to see how he looks like, here:
http://click.sg/archives/ocean-ou-de-yang-identity-revealed/

After looking at his pic, I can fully understand why he wants to hide his face. -__- (Maybe his face shld be hidden forever so ppl will always think he's as cute as the cartoon figure.)

*That means the pic I gave in the prev entry is indeed him lor, isn't it?* Sry me not very good in identifying faces.

Hmm, what if the photo in the newspaper is fake?...Nvm that's another matter.

Anyway here is sth old, but still quite amusing:




Get your hands on the "peanut series" NOW!!!



Taken from: http://www.talkingcock.com/html/article.php?sid=1768&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

disappointed...

Just read finish the whole Qi Ling Wang comic. Haiz, what a letdown. I expected the ending to be much better than that. Too abrupt already, it seems like there are still lots of things not taken care of. Come to think of it, planning an ending for such a long story is very very difficult, esp when most of the characters and events have already been developed to the maximum and there are still much room for further plots. It's like those 100-episode sg dramas whose endings mostly suck. In fact most long dramas often have unsatisfactory endings IMO. Probably cos the viewers' expections are higher after watching so many episodes of storyline and twists, and they want the ending to conclude the whole drama as perfectly as possible (which is hard to achieve). It's easy to start and continue a story but it's hard to give it a good ending. As for Qi Ling Wang, I felt very upset after reading the ending. But I think the ending is quite practical since we can't expect the protagonist to be godlike and always be successful in every way.

*However this is just a story created by someone, why can't the author give it a happier ending instead...>_<*

Didn't know the cancer charity show was today (by right shld be yesterday since it's past midnight now) after my mum turned on the TV just now. Continued to watch the show ever since, even though it was rather boring at some parts. (can't help it mah...too bored liao) Tot Ocean Ou De Yang will show his face when performing on stage...actually got translucent screen cover the face -__-. Nvm his face will be revealed sooner or later, after his concert maybe.

Btw there is a rumoured photo of Ocean spreading thru the net, dunno whether it's true or fake one. (most likely fake I think) Anyway here it is:




Do you think he looks like a particular mediacorp actor?



That's...a bit the...erm...nvm...

If he's good looking he wun need to hide his face in the first place.

Scan!

Yay today my bro just bought a new printer cum scanner! Haven't got to scan anything since my old lousy scanner become dysfunctional more than 4 years ago. Scanner is such a useful tool...so I shall keep scanning and scanning from now, even when there is no reason to do so...hehe.

These are just some of the stuff I've scanned: (starting with black and white words/diagrams first...shall put up more coloured pictures soon)

Think that organic synthesis and transformation very easy eh? Take a look at this...(taken from HCI Chem S-paper)




Some might require a lot of steps though.



Integration and reduction and can quite difficult at times. Took me very long to solve these 2 qns.




So kiam...only 3 marks for so much effort.





Doing this qn might make you think "trigo sucks".



You all might think how come I only scan academic stuff. Be patient, I'll try to scan more interesting pictures next time. Still trying to decide what I shld scan...

Few days ago my bro (again) bought the full set of Infernal Affairs (Wu Jian Dao) trilogy DVD. Watched the 3 movies at one go. Some parts so emotional...watch until very sad. A lot of surprising twists. Jumped upon hearing the loud and piercing sound of several unexpected gunshots...>_< Anyway I think the story is quite good. =) Very touching also.

Awakened...

I'm not supposed to wake up that early today, esp when I slept at 3am yesterday. Expected myself to wake up at ard 3pm...hehe. Very lazy rite.

Was awakened by the Zhenghua Sec Sch opposite my flat. Screams, shouts and the loud booming microphone...hard to slp leh. Sometimes I feel so unfortunate living near a sch, can't enjoy peace and tranquility in the morning. Dunno wat is going on in the sch...can only hear noises from the outside...sigh. Heard the teacher said sth like 'scores', 'sticks', 'team', 'balls', I think they are playing either hockey, ice hockey, fire hockey, floorball or watever you call that... Can't think of any more sports with balls and sticks.

Hmm, I tot today is O lvl Bio prac, how come they are still making so much noise... Maybe the sch nobody take bio...muhahaha. (so mean of me)

Eh, weird, I still haven't receive my enlistment notice yet. Dun say they are waiting for me to sign up for some scholarships... Anyway whenever I think of NS life, it will remind me of the ppl in CMPB. Some ppl there are really detestable, esp the fair mushroom-head guy usually at the EYE dept(those who went there shld know).

Also realised that from next year onwards I'll not be able to follow drama serials anymore. I think since there are already good dramas this year like Jing Zhong Ren, Yin Cha Yang Cuo and Fa Yi X Dang An II, next year there might not be such nice shows anymore (the scriptwriters shld have run out of ideas alr). From the magazines, the coming shows are all abt love and family (boring).

Some websites

Quite bored recently so went to search for some interesting sites from the net. Got most of them from forums and other ppl so I think I shall share some of them here.

Firstly, a puzzle game like Grow. Might be old but anyway here it is:
http://www.foon.co.uk/farcade/hapland/

Looks familiar? Played before alr? Nvm, there is still a second puzzle to this which is more difficult. Click on that obvious link on the site to get to Hapland 2. Even if you've completed both before, why not try again?

Next, a reflex game: (In fact there are two but they are similar except that the first one is harder than the second.)
http://www.eddiezone.net/flashgame/Restaurant.swf
http://www.funnyflash.com/games/dai_pai_dong/

Cute cooking game...read the instructions...very impt!

Thirdly, a rather interesting game that is neither a puzzle nor reflex game, just depends a lot on luck:
http://www.addictinggames.com/reactioneffect.html
My record is 1800+, try to break that! Hehe...can be very easy or very hard, you really need a lot of luck.

If you notice the domain, it says "addicting games". Yup, you can find a lot of online/flash games there. Good for those who are bored (like me). Anyway I found another interesting game there:
http://www.addictinggames.com/planarity.html

Of course there are more fun and addicting games than those above, so take some time and go check it out! With that, I think you can find the rest of the games yourself...

Last but not least, I just want to say that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie is coming up soon, at 17 Nov. (exactly one month from today) Thanks to Jeff's msn nick which reminded me abt this...hehe. The trailer looks pretty cool:
http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/gobletof....html?id=teaser

Compared to the prev 3 movies, this one shld have more action and exciting scenes. Really looking forward to that! Esp since this is the first HP movie I'm going to watch after reading the books this year, the characters and story are still fresh in my mind! ^_^

17 Nov...isn't that in the middle of our A lvls? Nvm, watching the movie shall be the first thing I'll do (probably what most ppl would do too) after the last paper (not including spaper) as a 'celebration'.
