♥ 12:32 AM
31 July:
had phy paper 1 mock. guess it wasnt really THAT hard, just that lack practice. and some concepts still aint very sure, esp for modern phy. sch ended early cos we shifted GP up again. wanted to play tennis bt the PE tchers didnt want to lend us, cos they dont really know us cos none of them knew us well, hence didnt really trust us. and mr and mrs tan aint ard. sigh. SAD.
stayed in sch to study and consult santosh regarding phy. he's really superb man. its like really everything is at his fingertips. really look up to him. well, afterall he didnt get into MIT by CHANCE. stayed till 9+, thank god huihui's parents picked us up and fetched me home. they're always so lovely and nice to send me home (: and attendance is getting bad. 5 absentees. 7 absentees the nxt day, and im one of them. hoho.
2nd aug:phy paper 3 mock was kinda okay. except tht i needa go memorise all my definitions properly. and read up abt quantum again. and somehow we all werent in the right state of mind, and got kinda restless towards to end of our paper, which was only 2 hrs in duration. then met mum at city hall for SHOPPING! cos needa get a dress for some formal dinner at fullerton. was damn happy cos i finally got a black halter dress. love it to bits <3> got some accessories to go with it. so did mum. went on shopping for shoes, shoes and more shoes. saw many pretty pretty shoes, esp HEELS! yes they do hurt, bt its really really nice! bt its so annoying cos its hard to gt shoes to fit my size ): maybe that settles my dilemma of buying them or not. but its been eons ever since i shopped for such long hours, like wht 1-7? its feels good to shop EXCESSIVELY haha.
5th aug:
went for aunty elsa's bithday celebration dinner at FULLERTON. omg it was hell nice and grand (: buffet dinner. way cool. very first time dining in there. she was so dolled up, haha. sat with bro, mun, jen. food was so so, bt the desserts were heaven. esp the cheesecake! omg i just love cheesecake so much. played some stupid games. oh ya they hired two violinist to play the birthday song. oh man, its so sweet and lovely. haha. the aunties made she and her husband kiss. it was so hilarious. haha. then photo-taking. gotta thank god for her. cos she's been really really nice to my family. it's simply god's blessings (:
6th aug:
was contemplating to go ach for nats celebrations or not. cos more than half the J2s wouldnt turn up. and like kinda waste time. time is so precious now. bt still went in the end, considering this would be my last nats celebration in a school context. half my class turned up. initially they put extra chairs in front of lt1, in the end they removed all of them and ask the J1s, who were pushed back due to choir and band taking the front space, to move up to the lt1 seats. as well as the ppl at the balcony to move to lt1, and ask everyone to move down lt1 so it wouldnt seem so empty. they even turned off the back lights. yeah its THAT bad.
bt glad i went. cos it felt good doing mass singing again (maybe the last), cos we didnt have that last yr cos it was 1ACS celebrations. all the national day songs were so reminiscing (: in fact im nt really familiar with the newer ones anymore, bt they're nice too. we only had the simply ceremony of carrying the flag in. miss those good old days in sec sch, where the UG grps wld march in and stuff, and it was so much more, err national day feeling, you get wht i mean. all the synchronised marching, and the stamping of feet during serdia and senandiri (however you spell that) just sounded so good. haha.
we all stayed back to support stanley and alvin for their napfa. both of them passed! YAY! stanley passed his jump, like finally. and it wasnt 222 on the dot, it was at least like 225. he was like YES! he was freaking happy man, after like wht 4 months? previously his max was like 221, and all of a sudden, he managed like 6 more cm. he said it must be god, he felt god's presence. HAHA. yeah i believe so too. To God be the Glory (: and alvin managed to pass his 2.4 too! mere 9 sec away from bronze. phew! wht a happy day (: went lunch at JP. then played at toys'r us. haha. it was damn fun and funny, as we played with all the toys. we're so amused by the toys kids have nowadays. seriously, kids are getting more and more fortunate man. never had those in my days. didnt catch movie with the guys cos i felt guilty for hanging out alr, when i ought to be home studying ):
7th aug: study leave for the nxt 2 days for J2s. had GP consult in the morn. went WCP mac with xuewen to study. rj and stan joined ltr. was very noisy cos think some Uni having orientation over there. oh wells i still did some work. rush off for tuition at 7. and guess wht, the tutor ask me and mr colin to get him a raw chicken cos he's boiling chicking soup, but didnt have enough chicken. WTP. we searched the whole area, and decided to go shop and save. took us quite a while cos it was so dark and we're nt really familiar with that area. so tuition started at like 8. omg. bt at least he gave each of us a bowl of his chicken soup, after all our hardwork in getting the chicken. LOLS.
8th aug:
went all the way to WOODLANDS to xw's hse to study, with the usual ppl. cos since she went all the way to WCP on wed, so i shall be nice and travel this time. wasnt really productive i guess, cos her hse too many distractions alr, esp her hamsters, they're fringging CUTE! esp the one that wont bite. she has like dozens of them luh, serious! cos they reproduced and stuff, yeah. then towards evening, we went down to throw for a while, as in frisbee. rushed home to catch the olympics opening! very grand, very nice. but it got kinda boring after a while, until the countries started coming out. bt it was a hell long list of countries man. was like falling aslp while waiting SG to come out luh. it took more than 2 hrs for SG to come out luh. omg. li jia wei flag bearer, as expected. federer was the flag bearer for switz! saw kobe bryant! woohoo. and i got to know a lot of countries previously i never knew of or even heard of, esp the african countries. but they're really black, no offence, just a random statement. well, wht a spectacular night for beijing (: and 08.08.08. wht a memorable day to rmb this 21st century, this 2nd millenium (: 8000 couples tieing the knot in beijing. next year's 09.09.09 will not lose out either! HAHA. the next one will be a 1000 years ltr!
9th aug: happy national day! 43rd year of independence (: stayed home to mug. watched the parade. black knights were simply awesome! i wanna attend the parade at the floating platform at least once! its really nice, esp at night, esp since its right beside the flyer! gosh, the flyer just looks really pretty at night, with the changing coloured lights. then plus the fireworks and the mini fountain works. breathless. bt sadly it was drizzling during the earlier part. all the participants and performers had to bear the rain ): Guard of Honour contingent looked awesome, must be so proud to be one (:
10th aug:
olympics is evil! argh. its such a great temptation and distraction! esp since we just changed to digital cable tdy, which means 6 channels of olympics. this is really bad. i would rather we change it after prelims, bt this means we'll miss out on olympics. argh. caught volleyball ytd. JAP-USA. scores were tight, both were great. US managed to pull it off 3-1. its was a cool match, esp the spikes and the saves from the spikes. and trying to get every ball, no matter how far it went. the JAPs were great at tht. and the girls are hell tall man. i bet they're more or less near 2m, or at least 1.8, serious. their limbs are just so long luh, gosh. bt i realised each team will have at least 1 significantly shorter one, who will play the back defense, which means the one who'll always save the spikes. obviously its easier for a shorter person to reach the ground first aye.
watched bball just now. China-USA. 101-70 to USA. expected USA to win. but you really can see the difference between an American team, and an Asia team. almost every American shot was a dunk, and it was really so cool. and the speed they had, was really way past the Chinese. Kobe Bryant and Jason Kidd were AWESOME - my all time favs. LeBron James was great too. Dwight Howard had the most points -19. gosh im starting to like watching basketball! actually theres so many stuff i wanna watch, like swimming - one of my favs, gymnasym and synchronised swimming! HAHA! damn, but i shall be good and refrain from it. so i wont be staying home to study this period, cant afford to sacrifice prelims.
bt i've been kinda good these few days, haven been turning on the com at all! yeah, so i miss talking to mr tofu. but he wont be lonely anw luh, he always has his belle and stephy. HOHO. oh well, or prolly he's busy studying too. anw hope you're doing fine mr tofu, study hard too! dont miss me! HAHA! well, he's somehow always been the one reminding me of god all these while. yeah, so i admit, have been putting all my focus on studying, that i do kinda forget about god at times. so church today kinda made me feel guilty, as i realised i kinda forgot abt god thru this wk. it reminded me to stay close to HIM, or i'll distant away in no time, esp in times of need, when i dont feel HIS presence cos i stopped seeking.
So Daddy God, hope you'll send angels to pop by my side at times to remind me of my weaknesses, and that they're made perfect in you. And that i cant do this all alone, i need your daily supply of strength and grace to help me pull thru everything. Please watch over me and my friends thru this period, every step of the way. Thank you Daddy God (:
okay back to studying now, tuition again ltr.
