did my common test until i wanna cry lol

just reached home after my maths and physics common test. totally stunned coz i know my common test = gg.

i looked at the maths paper today... couldnt do over 40marks worth of questions and left them blank. those that i had an idea of how to do... may be wrong. prolly gonna fail maths zzz.

den i had a cake for lunch and studied physics in the remaing 1hour. den the physics test was the 2nd torturous experience i had to go through that day. for paper 1, i finished 16 out of 25 questions when i had 10mins left (the duration for paper 1 was 45mins) and i just shaded C for about 5 questions coz i didnt have time left. for paper 2, i didnt know what the questions were asking for 2 questions and forgot the formula for one question. 3 questions blank... and its not 3 parts... 3 full questions... zzz. prolly gonna fail physics as well...

now i dont even need to dream of taking physics h3 with dis kinda crappy results...

studied till i wanna cry lol

i managed to finish browsing through the physics notes and writing down the important formulas. read through waves and understand it but i dont feel like remembering anything from it since i have difficulty memorising the stuff from the rest of the topics.
i studied maths until i wanna cry lol. i forgot how sequences n summation, AP n GP and maths induction questions look like and how to do them...and im lost. right now i managed to read through till maths induction so im gonna go to sch and pia finish the 2 differentiation chapters (8&9) before the maths test starts at 9am.
the maths test will end at 12nn and i will have 1h 50min to study physics again.
hope i can get B for physics and at least D for maths lol... though it seems unlikely.

after i went to the clinic, the doctor asked me to go for a blood test for dengue fever coz ive been having fever for the past 6 days since last wednesday.
had my dinner in the hospital while waiting for the test results. the food at the cafeteria there was bearable...
den just when i finished eating, my results were out so i went to collect it. i had no dengue fever and the doctor gave me 5 days mc starting from today. he cocked up a bit and put the wrong dates for exemption from running: 31 May 2006 to 13 June 2006 (that was a month ago lol). i had him change it but he still didnt change it properly... (it still had some mistakes) ah well i couldnt be bothered to ask again and i went home.

fever again!

woot lol. just took my temperature. 38'C. im having a fever again =) maybe God wants to help me coz i havent been able to study due to my fever the past few days. so maybe He wants to let me have fever today so dat i can miss sch and study for tml or wednesday's tests. woot!

GEC 2006

went for the global enterprise challenge yesterday n today. just came back. it was organised by SMU. the food was not bad. the air con was a bit too cold. i was allocated to the pico art team together with 5 other people from other schools. we had a bubbly n experienced mentor mr daniel chew. he had a lot of trick n IQ questions, and made the experience a very lively one.

the challenge question for this year was "after the challenge was announced yesterday, we had a really difficult time trying to come up with an idea coz we wanted one dat was original. maybe we tried too hard to "think out of the box", and we ended up with ideas like setting up fire fighting bases in indonesia to help put out forest fires lol. we also tried to come up with a improved catalytic converter. our idea was to further convert carbox dioxide into some other substances. then mr chew told us that we could give some bullshit about a special XYZ chemical dat has been developed for converting carbon dioxide lol.

den the next day, we saw this heel strike generator dat was being used by the US Army.
http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/technology/body_power_011128-1.html
http://www.stormingmedia.us/02/0204/A020414.html
so we thought of the idea of introducing heel strike generators in the normal shoes for sales to the public. by the time we decided on this idea and started developing on it, it was around 10+am... about 4hours away from the submission deadline. because of the lack of time, we gave a rather brief action plan and the figures for the possible monetary value of the benefits were all bull lol. and during the presentation, we fumbled a bit and couldnt finish our presentation within the 3minute time-limit. i was quite disappointed at dat time lol.

den after all the presentations, the organisers announced the winning n 1st runner-up teams. they said, "the 1st runner-up goes to the most creative team..." at dat time i had a premonition dat it was gonna be our team... and it was! lol i was so surprised at dat time. each of my team members got a $80 book voucher... not bad lol.

hmm.. in the end i think the biggest winner is SMU lol. its is really enterprising...(note: the participation fee is $130)

dell just returned my comp today. found an interesting email.

What does your favourite colour say about you? Your preference of one colour over the other can easily express your personality and character traits.
 


If your natural choice is the colour red, you are the outgoing type. You not only act on impulse, but you are prone to abrupt mood swings. You have a lot of compassion for fellow human beings and can be easily persuaded. Though you have an optimistic approach to life, you don't hesitate to grumble and complain as well. Your spontaneous nature is assertive, you freely voice your opinions. You have a strong sex drive and are likely to end up having extra-marital affairs, unless your strong sense of duty restrains you from indulging in wild fantasies.

The choice of this colour shows that you are basically good-natured and loyal. You are sociable but at the same time you tend to be swayed by the opinions of other people. You are a generous soul, sincere at heart. Your gestures are friendly, and inspired by goodwill. More often than not, you are overtaken by feelings of wanton elation.

If you have preference for yellow, it shows that you have a vivid imagination and lots of nervous energy. Your thoughts are clear and well organised. You do harbour a need to help the world, but you won't get the dirt under your fingernails doing that. Deep down you are a shy person and a loner; perhaps that's what makes you a reliable friend. You may not show it, but you would actually love to be respected and admired for your prudence.

Preference for the colour green shows that you are a dutiful citizen. You are not only aware but also sensitive to social customs, and bear a good name in your community. Your choice also indicates your honesty and straightforwardness. You have a normal sex drive and are very emotionally attached to your family. You have the potential to be an excellent teacher.

If your personal colour is blue, you are introspective and purposeful by nature. You hold conservative beliefs and under stressful conditions, prefer to withdraw into gentler surroundings. You seem to have a lot of control over your passions and desires, but are sensitive to the needs and feelings of others, nonetheless. You are a loyal friend and would prefer to lead a sober life.

If your choice is purple, then you are intelligent and quick-witted. You have a keen eye for detail, things which are normally overlooked by people. You are infuriated at the slightest provocation. You tend to be extremely effusive in your expressions of grief. You are a creative person and an egotist of sorts. You seem to possess a cultivated taste for the subtle in life, while recognizing the magnificent.

A personal choice of the colour brown implies that you are meticulous when it comes to work, thrifty when it comes to money, and adamant in your beliefs. You are a very reliable and composed person, not impulsive at all. You can rival a seasoned horse trader in your talent for striking the best bargain.

If ur having a bad day, check out these actual cases!

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned-out section of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his back, flippers, and facemask. A postmortem test revealed that the man died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries. Dental records provided a positive identification. investigators then set about to determine how a fully clothed diver ended up in the middle of a forest fire.
It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the man went diving off the coast, some 20 miles from the forest. The fire fighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, had called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the ocean and emptied at the site of the forest fire.
You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the Pacific, the next, he was doing the breaststroke in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air. Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.


A man was working on his motorcycle on the patio, his wife nearby in the kitchen. While racing the engine, the motorcycle accidentally slipped into gear. The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was dragged along as it burst through the glass patio doors. His wife, hearing the crash, ran in the room to find her husband cut and bleeding, the motorcycle, and the shattered patio door. She called for an ambulance and, because the house sat on a fairly large hill, went down the several flights of stairs to meet the paramedics and escort them to her husband. While the attendants were loading her husband, the wife managed to right the motorcycle and push it outside. She also quickly blotted up the spilled gasoline with some paper towels and tossed them into the toilet.
After being treated and released, the man returned home, looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He went into the bathroom and consoled himself with a cigarette while attending to his business. About to sta nd, he flipped the butt between his legs.
The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. Finding him lying on the bathroom floor with his trousers blown away and burns on his buttocks, legs and groin, she once again phoned for an ambulance. The same paramedic crew was dispatched.
As the paramedics carried the man down the stairs to the ambulance they asked the wife how he had come to burn himself. She told them.
They started laughing so hard, one slipped, the stretcher and dumping the husband out. He fell down the remaining stairs, breaking his arm.


The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.

A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the el ectric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman.

Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence; stampeding madly the two hopeless protesters were trampled to death.

Iraqi terrorist Khan Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb; he opened it and was blown to bits.

TIKAM!

got my tcc-mdis bursary award today lol. the reception after the ceremony was quite ok. i think the siew mai, sausages and laksa were the best. didnt really like the other food as much lol.
after getting the award, i went to suntec city coz it was near to the raffles city convention hall where the bursary award ceremony was held. i was sorta despo for the autographing lacus so i checked out the hobby point there. but den, had no luck lol. so i decided to give the capsule stations a try and see if i could get my lacus dat way. so i walked around the stations looking for hgif gsd 4. while i was walking, i found two naruto real collection 4 capsule stations lol. its most likely a reissue =)

the moment came for me to try to tikam the autographing lacus. a capsule rolled to my hands and i took a peek. i got... lunamaria...-___- when i saw it, i thought, "crap shouldnt have bought a lunamaria spare from the shop." so i prayed i would get dat lacus next. and i got.... heine!!! -_- in fact, two heines in a row... !@#$%
for the 4th one, i tikamed mwu. and den it was murrue. bleh... was about to give up. den i thought "maybe the next one..." so i went to change for more coins.
i came back, put 3 coins in, turned the knob, and out came a figure with pink hair. "AUTOGRAPHING LACUS FINALLY!!! WOOT!!!" i thought. as i happily opened the capsule, i took a look at her hands. NOOOO!!! its the normal lacus...wad a disappointment -_-
so i tried again... and got kira... ok... dis is still ok...
the next try was the 8th zzz... dis time a capsule containing a figure with pink hair came out again. i immediately took a look at her hands... sadly it was normal lacus again. den i decided luck was not with me today and went home after i overcame the temptation of wanting to try again. well looking on the bright side, at least i managed to almost get an entire set (of extras) and it'll be easier to sell them off coz they're in a set.

den in the evening, after i went to church, i headed over to suntec again to have a look again. as i looked at the hgif gsd 4 capsule station, i was a bit demoralised and decided to try naruto collection 4 instead.

dis time round, i brought a torchlight with me to help me look into the capsules in the capsule stations. though i tried to look into the capsule station, i couldnt really see anything coz i didnt know the method of doing it lol. so i gave up on dat and just put in the coins and turned the knob. out came itachi. i thought, "wow not bad lol". den i tikamed another time and got itachi again. i sorta started getting worried and decided to try look at wad was next. while i was trying to look into the naruto real collection 4 capsule station, a pro tikamer was looking into the station beside with skill. so i asked him about the method of looking into machines. he explained patiently while i listened. i didnt really get it coz i couldnt really see anything lol. den when he had to leave, he drew a pic for me and told me to try figure out myself. it looked something like dis:
(dis pic is drawn in paint by me lol)

he also helped me to take a look at the next two capsules and he said they were both itachi. luckily he was there, if not i would have gotten 4 itachis lol.

so i decided to move over to the naruto real col 4 capsule station at the other end. it was almost empty and was only left with a few capsules. i tried to apply my skills and i saw a naruto head for the 1st capsule. den i turned the knob and out came sasuke. crap lol, my skill in looking into the capsule station was quite bad... i think i must have seen the catalogue paper dat had naruto's pic on it and mistook it for the figure lol. but hey, the next one dat came out was naruto XD wad a coincidence lol. den i took a look at the next 1st and 2nd capsules, and predicted dat the 1st would be jiraiya, the 2nd sasuke while the 3rd would be haku. i thought dat i should get the extra sasuke for the sake of getting haku. so i tikamed all 3.
den i decided to count the figures i had and see wad i was missing. and i found out i needed a kakashi. i looked into the almost empty capsule station for him and there he was on top. there were 6 capsules left at dat time. so i shook the capsule station a little and the capsule containing kakashi fell into the 3rd slot. now came a tough decision, i had to decide whether i should get 2 more extras just to get a kakashi or wait for someone to tikam away the 1st two. to help me decide, i took a look at the two capsules before it. the first one was definitely sasuke- again =( i couldnt confirm whether the 2nd one was sasuke or naruto, so i prayed dat it was naruto. in the end i decided dat i was gonna tikam all 3 coz i didnt want someone else to tikam it away and end up facing the same situation of trying to find a spare, especially when naruto real collection 4 is an old set and may not be available anywhere else at all. when i checked the capsules the 2nd capsule turned out to contain sasuke =( oh well.

had 3 sasuke spares and 1 itachi spare in the end, but looking on the bright side, at least i managed to complete the set without many hitches. and wads more, i have mastered about 70% of the skill of looking at capsules =P

hols day 7

had hockey training this morning. this time, the hockey girls trained with us... well... actually not exacly... we just trained in the same area after dat, we had played matches. the boys were divided into two teams A n B. i was in B. team A went up against the girls and ended with a draw. after watching the match, i think the girls' dribbling skills were slightly better than the boys'.
den there was a break and after dat my team went up against team A. it was quite close as well and no goals were scored after some time. so we decided dat the golden goal would decide who wins. den after some time... just as yong jun (opp team) made a pass, i blocked the ball and ran up with it. den wei xian tried to stop me. he was able to block me from shooting at the goal the first time i hit the ball. but i recovered and continued to dribble the ball upwards with wei xiang marking me well. den i tried to hit again. but i missed. wei xiang tried to jab the ball away but he missed too. right after dat i tapped the ball forward and scored a goal by hitting the ball into the goal.
i think i made a very big mistake 3 times and was lucky wei xiang didnt make me lose the ball. i shouldnt have hit with wei xiang so close- should have used a push instead.

den after dat, i went to collect my hg fullmetal alchemist set 1 n hgif evangelion set 3 figures. lucky me lol managed to find them though they are rather rare now coz they are old sets =)

weird dream lol

woke up today from a very weird dream.
there was this giant blob that was after me. it wanted to eat me because i was the last component it needed so that it can end this world and restart one. so i ran away from the blob. it couldnt catch up with me but i knew i couldnt run away forever. den i met a friend. after dat, we coincidentally met a researcher who gave 2 mobile suits so dat we could destroy the blob. i put on my suit and went into my mobile suit while my friend went into his.
den suddenly, my friend disappeared lol. i went out of the base in my mobile suit but when i met the blob, my mobile suit disappeared lol. so i started running away from the blob again. den for no apparent reason, i suddenly knew that my friend was eaten by the blob though i never saw him get eaten lol. but the blob soon caught up with me and ate me. so the world restarted and i suddenly had another dream lol.

must have been watching too much anime XD. now im having them in my dreams lol.
furi kuri, end of evangelion, gundam seed destiny
