ADVICE FOR NEWTONIANS -
place an apple under your pillows before you sleep tonight to invite the newtonian spirit to bless you with knowledge for tomorrow! may the gravitational force be with you =) good luck and have fun!

ADVICE FOR DARWINIANS -
BIO STUDENTS! gogo read harry potter! the purebloods are essential casestudies in ur study of inbreeding! with such excellent substantiation, you'll definitely ace bio! ;)

yesterday's most interesting response was...

Haha, i just remembered. Tonight is midautumn.
Round Moon so bright,
big moon i see tonight.
Gravitation tmrw we'll write,
about this moon in our sight.
Better look carefully if you might,

Tmrw physics gotta fight,
against the time limit so bloody tight.

from royce again xD

two more to go.
my rest beckons.
can't wait.

hmmm

economics. i think my marks are equally economical. ><
if i'm granted a miracle, i may get the chance to continue h3 econs.
if lady luck frowns on me, i guess i hope it doesn't go past a D.

anyway, yesterday's well-wishing message was...

ADVICE FOR ECONS -
dear friends! in preparation for econs, please devour a teaspoon of ants. ANTS are very economic creatures, and not only that, they're full of proteins as well! This will help us become more economic too. A for ANTS, A for ECONS! good luck! =)

i actually wanted to pen a lot of thoughts down. i've an interesting idea about intrigue, mystery, auras and stuff. hahaha but after today's earthshattering econs, i better start working out of my reverie! ><

cannot slack le. i promised to ace physics. must make boon siong proud. haha a promise is a promise. may the apple spirit bless me with his knowledge tonight and tomorrow!

OH! before i forget, the most interesting response i've received for 'ADVICE FOR GP' was from taufiQ!

Ah i c. D gp qn leaked right? Its abt pros n cons of genetically modified honey right? But u made d hints subtle just in case it got into d wrong hands. Gd job!

as for today's greetings, royce certainly demonstrated his ability to match nonsense intelligence with intelligence!

Dear friend for econs, i think you confirm get b, don't worry. B for bullshit, it will get you through. Hahahaha.

this is certainly getting more interesting by the day. =)

and the race begins...

ADVICE FOR GP -
drink lots of honey before you go to bed tonight!
1. honey makes your tongue sweet.
2. what you speak is what you write.
3. therefore, you will write sweet stuff.
4. this means you will own for GP!

haha that was yesterday's good luck message to everyone who came online! tried to sms as many people as possible too. hope everyone wasn't as unlucky as me for GP! xD this is actually my first time mugging for GP, BUT terrorism/sports never appeared! and somehow i dilly-dallied until there was only 30 mins left for BOTH aq and sumarry. sadness. and i thought that man united trouncing chelsea 2-0 was a good omen.

oh well. lol it's econs tomorrow! and lit too. actually that's quite hardcore. ouch. good luck to YIJING, SHARYN, ZIJIAN, JEREMY, ALLY, FELLY, WANJOO and ANYONE ELSE WHO TAKES ECONS/LIT! i feel for the chem/hist students too. mug hard YILIN AND VINOD!

hehe i've come up with my well-wishing for tonight! it has something to do with econs and ants. =)

ohhh btw i did the following question -

'A book is not forever.'
To what extent is this statement true in the Information Age?
hope i get at least B for GP! haha

myFOURlikes

today was typical. woke up at 11. played and wasted time till 330. went to bedok library. mugged from 345 to 530. then felt super bored. so went to the closest bookshelf to read something, anything! haha super sian. i think i shall award 'mugging' the most frequently used word this month? i bet everyone's spamming it in their daily convos, msn, sms, etc...

anyway back to the books. then i found this fascinating book. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PERSONALTIY? red, orange, yellow, green...

personality represents the orderly arrangement of attitudes, beliefs, thoughts, emotional reactions, coping mechanisms that help you deal with life. your personality is what establishes the boundaries through which you live your life. if life complements your personality boundaries, then you will feel a sense of control over your destiny, and you feel happy. however, if life's challenges force you to move outside of your personality boundaries, then you experience stress and emotional discomfort and view life from a negative perspective.

which one are you?

haha can't kope more from the book, else it's plagiarism xD less than 10% so i'm still safe =D yea just thought that the paragraph sounded quite cool so wanted to share it with more people. life and personality... mmm interesting.

ok then i randomly flipped the book to see if it's worth borrowing and i saw another paragraph which got me excited 'cos it's something i thought about before! haha but i can't remember what it was any more xD hopefully i'll come across it again =)

anyway, i used to read a lot. a lot of fantasy and sci-fi ones. mmm but once i come to jc, there simply wasn't any time to read any more. and i'm quite glad i took up reading again 'cos i've like found my FOUR LIKES finally! haha and they are: gaming/sports, reading, singing, and talking!

gaming/sports. enables me to satisfy my competitive streak and provides an avenue for me to constantly hone my skills in something in order to attain the highest peak. it's pretty much about hardwork and talent. talent is when you've honed your instinct to the extent that you recognise the same pattern that lies in many games, and come up with the a strategy to improve one's standards. hardwork is simply constant practice and the determination, coupled with the passion, to achieve one's goals aka be the best =)

reading. it allows me to immerse myself into a storyline and plot and exercise my creativity as well as imagination. lol, but i'm starting to like non-fiction too now that i've discovered that the stereotype of non-fiction books being boring is actually false. and the latter allows me to understand and comprehend things better, offering an additional viewpoint to mundane things in life.

singing. hahaha i only discovered this year thanks to odac (btc campfire) & bb house councillors (hehe all the kbox sessions xD)! lol singing is in a way liberating. you lose yourself to the beautiful lyrics and tunes that pull at your heartstring, and be intoxicated in the melody! and when you sing, you find your emotions becoming aligned with the song. you sing sad songs, you turn sad. you sing happy songs, you get high. haha. =D

talking. LOL. i think talking crap and talking deep both have their attractive & plus points. talking allows you to gain a deeper understanding of another person, no matter if it's nonsense you're talking or about some cheem and deep philosophical thingy. one will come to realise that when a person finally opens up and talk about him/herself, that's when an intangible thread links you to him/her. and that's when you can start building on it and perhaps become fast friends should there be a frequency match. =)

OK! I GOT SOMETHING TERRIBLE TO SAY - I NEARLY DIED TODAY =(
yea i was like walking back from the library (lol and yingxuan said she saw me at bedok??? how come i never see her? x.X) anw and i was walking back. then i was listening to my mp3. and i crossed the road. then (at this point i wish to thank my lucky stars for blessing me with wisdom not to blast my mp3 and good observation skills) i felt, or rather heard, something to my left so i stopped on the spot. and the car just sped past me. !!! plz i think that must have been even scarier than my raft falling experience x.X but thankfully i'm safe and sound =)

ok at night we played imba games and talked crazy again. rold is feverish with his 'dota ranking' ideas. lol. then kai and i were talking about forming this new cca - the c0ol cca! haha and we will do crazy and fun stuff like -
1. music videos!
2. searching for fun and touching stories!
3. start a book of fun and laughter, peace and joy with lots of funny stuff in it so that at the end of j2 we can reminisce and laugh over it!
4. funny photos!
5. crazy interviews!
haha lots of ideas and creativity. hopefully it will pull off. it's more like an unofficial gathering of sorts xD nvm. 1/4 of our jc life has elapsed. we should strive to make each quarter left more fun and fantastic than the previous one! only then will jc life be meaningful and memorable for everyone. =)

gp! and lots of fun

haha, today's been funnnnnn! lol, gp was hilarious with siti and zijian revealing their 'sick' side xD pe rox! since our pe slot sort of got shelved off or something, we ended up playing handball as a class.. and lijian was imba with his height advantage! haha, top scorer of the game too! then stayed back with dex and jean to laze around and to attempt some of the maths tutorial before meeting with xj and brian to have dinner. got to know shihao who somehow ended up with us too!

lol.. and at night, mel had formed her team with others, so she gave me the email add of anna. talking to girl whom u haven't met before online is sort of awkward at first.. yea, then we talked a bit and exchanged some info.. and tata! the 'SAND' campaign group has been formed! haha, sand's just the initials of our names.. not the real name >< yup, will get to know them better tmr.. and i can't wait for the campaign details to be released! haha, the campaign's gonna be lotssss of funnnnnnnnnn!

p.s. oh yea.. received a belated gift from ame elita and mel! thanks! aha

YAY! ... and stuff

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! hahaha, the difference in moods i was feeling after meeting up my og mates was like 'tian yuan zhi bie' aka worlds part. class and lessons are fast becoming lethargic.. lol, but nvm, i'm glad that the few of us in l'egolas are still so bonded =) haha, then it became even BETTER when dex, jean and i went to check out the council results - dex and i BOTH GOT THRU THE INTERVIEWS! w00t! aha, could virtually feel my spirits lifted immediately after that. it was one of those underlying stuff that's been assaulting my thoughts recently, so it's a great relief and joy to finally find out that i'm in =)

after that, we went back lodge and played card games as usual. 'rat race' provided us with lots of fun and laughter as usual, and in the end, jean was the indisputable champion. mel came along after that and we taught her how the game was played, though she had to leave immediately after that. one interesting thing was her comment that i was 'high'. haha, admittedly, i was slightly off the rockets.. but i would say that's my 'normal' state. in class, i guess i'm in 'subdued' state most of the time since i can't find people of the same wavelength to talk to yet.. lolz x.X

anyway, after a while, dex jean and i started talking about more interesting stuff.. like names we would prefer to give our future children.. girls and guys.. our og and what we feel about it.. among other matters. lol, jean prefers 'alexandra' and 'alexander' whereas dex prefers 'michael'. can't rmb the other names. haha, for me, somehow names beginning with 'c' appeal more to me - 'clarissa', 'charmaine', etc.. for girls i mean. guys' names haven't really been thought of yet.

then we talked about school, og, classes and.. and the og talk was quite interesting, since all of us are from l'egolas. to keep it short, while disappointment was expressed at the size of the remaining active og members (it's sort of like 4?), we are glad to have met one another. i guess that's why spending time talking to friends and get to know each other better instead of rushing home to mug is so much more fulfilling ya? haha, contrary to popular belief, it's worthwhile 'stoning' and chatting away sometimes =D and i think the bonds we forged during this period will go a long, long way..

and then relationship issues were raised. one of the questions posed to me was, 'eh when do you intend to get a girlfriend?' ><

haha personally, i dun really have a fixed time period or anything.. for me, it's more like waiting for the 'right' time for the 'right' person. yup.. and what's 'right' o0? hmmm.. i guess it's when the other person and i have reached a stage where we're really comfortable with one another, and ya, like one another? lol, perhaps i'll be able to find her in this 2 yrs, perhaps not. maybe fate plays a more important role than most of us would like to believe.

now, i'm back at home typing this post, feeling extremely, extremely tired. and i still have lots of work to complete and responsibilities to fulfill. oh well.. maybe i should risk the banana+coffee ownage combo again =X lol.

coffee+banana

wheeeeee! i've finally completed econs half an hour ago! lol, to people out there having trouble keeping awake, you might want to try out the all-powerful and effective combination of coffee and bananas! it's like, i took 1h + on my first essay even though i told myself to keep to the time limit of 45 mins.. can't really concentrate, so kept blogsurfing and doing random stuff like looking through msn contacts. then after completing my first essay, i decided to try out teh ownage combo!

nice and tasty white coffee with strong and somewhat comforting aroma, coupled with smooth and sweet bananas, took me to the 2nd round of hardcoring - qn 1b econs essay. this time it's totally different.

i quickly wrote down an outline and took to writing immediately, with the occasional drift of sweet aroma from the coffee providing ample company. lol, does coffee make the heart beat faster? 'cos i think my heart was beating fast as i sped through the essay. took about 45 mins i think =)

haha, but i gotta warn you guys. the downside to the pro-ded combo is quite bad - you'll get...

diarrhea!

lol, kk, i'm exaggerating it a bit. it wasn't quite as bad, just had a persistent tummyache for a while. oh well, at least it empowered me to complete the essay in record time. pros outweigh the cons? haha, that's up to you to decide.

hm. it's quite early now - in the morning. i think i better sleep. tomorrow promises to be a day of excitement! haha, sweet dreams...

:O got kissed by...

i had just finished my work out at the park, and i was happily drinking oak milk. this oak milk's pretty special - it's the first of its kind being drunk by me ;) lol, actually, i just saw it on display in those transparent rectangular boxes with coolers installed and thought i should give it a try. BUT TO MY HORROR, when the pretty lady at the counter scanned the tag, i realised that it costs $2.10 for it! ahhhh! haha, it's not the big container one ya? it's the tiny li'l version. oh well... scammed.. =X

back to the story... lol, so ya i was savouring the delicious and exciting new taste of oak milk (it's really quite nice, that's why it's currently one of my fav drinks) when i felt that something was AMISS.

[drama] time seemed to slow as i raised my hand to touch my cheek. my eyes widened as i felt something hot on my cheeks. i turned in trepidation towards the pool of water lying next to me and saw that... THAT...

I'VE BEEN KISSED BY A MOSQUITO!

[/drama]

k, that was pretty lame >.< just felt lame today, so i got inspired into writing this lame entry. haha, yea, just had a lame conversation with mel about lame girls and how i feel cute/pretty + talkative girls my favs >.< lol, then we crapped around for a while.. oh ya, here's some random tidbit from our convo:

oh well.. enough lameness and drama for a night i guess. can't wait for tmr! kayaking with odac associate followed by og outing! w00t! haha, full day = no time to do work = gg for procrastinator nick x.X
