touched.
havent been bloggin for quite some time, partly due to laziness and all the mugging that has been gg on, seeing everyone so hard working for the end year is makin me so scarednot that i hav not start but most probably i havent been doing enough revision up till this point in time.
i am afraid of my future. i dunno wad to do..shd i follow my interest or my dream. which one's nearer. poly or jc. i cant make my choice
lots of planning, my timetable after exam, dun look like its after exam at all. seriouslt from the first afternoon after exam, it will be prom lunch and followed by the real thing, bridging gaps, induction, shanghai trip, o-lvl cl, iq camp, and perhaps obs.
i really want to do the things that i want to do and not the things that i must do. noone likes to take exam but i'm quite enjoying this period of time when i do nothing other than studying, gg home early, no cca, no project or proposals in due. the feeling is great. but then again those things that are in store for me. wow those are even greater. 3 subjects down and 6 more to go.
i wan to study and thats the only thing i feel like doing probably for the next 10 days, i am scared for my both mathematics but i suppose i cant do anything much at this point of time too. doing the past year papers is draining my confidence away. the number of things i dun know for the exam is scaring me out. perhaps i am just stressing myself out.
today i sat right at the back for lessons, and most of the time i was just hugging the wall like my best friendand i can slp right through listening comprehension exam, i am a pro man. physics test is____________ oh dun tok abt it
mrloh gave us childrens day present!!! thats like the first present i've recieved ever since i am not classfied under children. thanks alot, i think the class was quite high too=)
geography, took back geog papers. i swear that i must get an A1 and i will for EOY man. that stupid idoit, instead of words of encouragement, he din even think that i would pass the test, wad a freak man.
cool rite, big bird is becoming a tour guide lol.
TREX/ belated birthday present from jr, thanks=)
Children's day present from MR LOH! thankyou=)
study .... i think i'm not gg to blog till end of eoy. lucks to all taking eoy smile more, love the world. what to do, i am lost

barometer
Since we are learning bout barometers now i shall kope smth that i saw on zhenming's blog. quite funny but totally original and logical.The following concerns a question in a physics degree exam at the University of Copenhagen:
"Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper with a barometer."
One student replied: "You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building."
This highly original answer so incensed the examiner that the student was failed immediately.
He appealed on the grounds that his answer was indisputably correct, and the university appointed an independent arbiter to decide the case. The arbiter judged that the answer was indeed correct, but did not display any noticeable knowledge of physics. To resolve the problem it was decided to call the student in and allow him six minutes in which to provide a verbal answer which showed at least a minimal familiarity with the basic principles of physics. For five minutes the student sat in silence, forehead creased in thought. The arbiter reminded him that time was running out, to which the student replied that he had several extremely relevant answers, but couldn't make up his mind which to use.
On being advised to hurry up the student replied as follows:
"Firstly, you could take the barometer up to the roof of the skyscraper, drop it over the edge, and measure the time it takes to reach the ground. The height of the building can then be worked out from the formula H = 0.5g x t squared. But bad luck on the barometer.
"Or if the sun is shining you could measure the height of the barometer, then set it on end and measure the length of its shadow. Then you measure the length of the skyscraper's shadow, and thereafter it is a simple matter of proportional arithmetic to work uut the height of the skyscraper.
"But if you wanted to be highly scientific about it, you could tie a short piece of string to the barometer and swing it like a pendulum, first at ground level and then on the roof of the skyscraper. The height is worked out by the difference in the gravitational restoring force T = 2 pi sqrroot (l/g).
"Or if the skyscraper has an outside emergency staircase, it would be easier to walk up it and mark off the height of the skyscraper in barometer lengths, then add them up.
"If you merely wanted to be boring and orthodox about it, of course, you could use the barometer to measure the air pressure on the roof of the skyscraper and on the ground, and convert the difference in millibars into feet to give the height of the building.
But since we are constantly being exhorted to exercise independence of mind and apply scientific methods, undoubtedly the best way would be to knock on the janitor's door and say to him 'If you would like a nice new barometer, I will give you this one if you tell me the height of this skyscraper'."
The student was Nils Bohr, the first Dane to win the Nobel prize for Physics.

Sanity, insanity. i am the 2nd
today.normal lessons. as usual. ss/his, i dun rly understand wad has been thought, but still its called the slacking period. chemistry, yes! i learnt another new thing and revised on some things, enlightened today. AGAIN. thanks to msong! haha then emaths, cirles are rather easy, but got to see the BIG> picture...=).. recess. ate beehoon again. something lite. physics was.. for the first time i understood smth in the lesson and i know how to do!. (atcl not first time..) HCL. gonghan.. again. sian diao. think i will fail. hope i will not. well, its ald set..
after sch, journeyed ti the parliament hse. trip there rather pleasant. talked with JR. at the parliament hse. there were a bunch of them which was especially noisy, another sentence would be called throughly throwing the face of our school. BUT, the teacher did nothing to stop them from those babaric actions and instead scolded me. when the only thing i did was to go to the toilet to wash my hands=.='' what kind of crap logic is this man. thanks. i was merely told to BEHAVE MYSELF> fine, u better make sure i dun see u washing ur hands for as long as i am in this school. when we talk we were told to give the parliament a little respect, while u can talk happily with ur students,( i'm glad to announce that i do not want to be one of yours). thanks for all your wrong accusation man, from today onwards, dont ever expect me to have even the basic respect for you, because you have lost your respect, just when i thought you were getting better. "a leopard can never change its spots" thank ms phua for teaching me how to keep a reading log and finding these wonderdul words to describe such a person like u.
Notice that i din mention who on earth i am commenting, besides then having the basic courtesy of blogging, i also would not want to pollute my blog with so whoevers name/you should be glad i din shout right on to your face, dun think that i may seem like a person who wun do that. but the thing that i hate most is when i am wrongly accused. and two times this week for something that i din do, is too much.
for somthing that i din do, i will not care to scold that person in the face, unless you have given me an explanation in your actions, if not you are not worthy of my respect, no matter who you are.

overstretched - its not abt taking time.
YTD is like the COOLEST day of since the term began. Firstly chemistry, i got so enlightened today coz for the past few months, i've been living and studying chem in darkness and today is like " ALAKAZAM" and i understood every word that msong said. like wow. some ppl call it repair the damage=) i luv ms ong/Then 2nd thing
EARLY dismissal!! haha so fun. went to NYP with xinwei, along with sec 1 and 2 stars,, those exhibits are way too cool. and we also go there and kope some ideas. for camp and stuff. haha. coolios. xinwei did some stupid stuff there, fine i shall cut the elab for this time round. the food there's nice and delicious too! and there is a chio, chio chem teacher and someone uh hem.(inside joke) then went back, the journey, had a long talk. shant talk abt it.
3rd thing! played badminton like SIAO!!! so fun man, haha then sat say play tgt, went to eat dinner(ice cream) with xw,j,j's friend, wy,f. its too late to appologise
TODAY!
went to sch, was late. due to some pondering at home, i made all the right decisions=) then got math remedial, at least i understood a whole lot of things, though the class was like only 4 ppl lol. i rly understand, somehow enlightened again.
then went for meetin. sec 1 interview...we are high tech ppl, we use laptop in stead of paper. say wow... partner with hisyam, haha then evtg he settle lol. after that went to play badminton awhile, stupid wind, ..
went to take photo at jw. lol, i look so sucky. nvm, i always do. then went to eat at coffeshop. after that off to play badminton with j,xw,wy,sj,f,xr and zh.(i hope i din miss out anyone)
and thank god i din bring the carbonex 9 of else it would be in a horrible condition. lol. in my hands, but it dosent even matter wad racquet we bring, ended up i think i used before all the racquets. played doubles, singles, triples/? and always tio owned. lol=.= i suck so much that at times when playing doubles all i needed to do was to stand there and stare.(its called good coordination) lol, fun day, do it again after /EOY!!! hahas
EOYs are coming and i am still so slack, now i got muscle cramp. think i gonna revise later, at least must make finish my notes. or else... must SWITCH to exam mode/!!! actl i'm trying to half way switch. i can do it. twentyseven days... JIAYOU! the best way to study is to plug in seriously. now my daily routine is like, step home plug in, slp then unplugged, anyway parents can only tok crap.
stupid cca only stands down nxt fri=.= wth.
time may heal but it will always leave a scar, but most of the time time can only numb the pain, it will come back like how its acting on me now. i feel it but do u? i dun think so. its too late to apologise. too late. and even so i will not accept ur apology now, cause the harm that u've cause has taken too much impact on me. too late to apologise.

inverted desserts
think my mood these days has been rather ok.until today/ya.=.=, prelims were so terrible. stupid blower were like some air storm. so cold. i chose the right seat lol. once bitten twice shy. after that was paper 2. so hard. i dun even know waht the passage is toking abt.after that went maths. think i am totally lost. thank you mr sam for saying that i hav potential. very eoncouraging. thanks. i will work hard but i'm afraid i will dissapoint u again. ya potential to fail.Then tok to some teachers bout some stuff. i dun wan ppl to expect so much of me. ya i failed like half of all my subj. the higher ppl expect, the more the dissapointment. i'm stressed. and i really dun wan to do prom night. i dun hav very good time management. its easy to say, learn learn. but its easier said than done. its alot easier just saying, by saying i can say alot. but what can i do/?i dun wan to let yet another project that i do over use my time. and my results would be another sacrificial product.
theres choir tmr, and its so...... haiz yet another 2 hours gone to waste because of it. ppl say its relaxing like since when did it become relaxing. lol. haiz stressed.
my patience is limited, i dun wan to suffer in silence anymore. you ppl wun understand anything, so please dun stress me by talking abt that anymore, i would like to say something for myself, but i chose to keep silent, because i hav no energy left. i rather let the tears flow without sound. one day i wish to slp and never wake up again. everyday i wake up i walk in to a dream, a nightmare.

YEA.(this is called self motivation)Went to sch today for practically NOTHING. ya the rain was penetrating through my fragile body oh ya. there are some i-dunno-wad-on-earth-is-that thing, and its red, leaking plasma, itchy and VERY PAIN> with the rainwater, over it. ouch is the only word i can think of/
