Not blogged for like...a week? Oh well, busy unpacking my stuff and erm, getting ready for school!
Sch's fine, started with my new IS today, which is Introduction to Report Writing. Very very much like IAC and from the name it suggests that it is very demanding on the proficiency of one's English. Whew. The teacher's not bad and guess what my group's topic was...FACEBOOK! Like...wow.
This sat's CAEM CT paper. Loads of insecurities about it. The long list of formulas, complex derivatives, and its just so much so like JC maths. Well if I can get through to the last paper, the lecturer said that our maths standard would be comparable to that for first year uni!! *SMILES*
I browsed through my Japan trip's photos and I just realised that I have so so so so so so so so so so many photos to upload. Erm so I shall filter those which are really APPEALING, like how I waited for Mt Fuji's peak to be cleared from the shrouds of clouds and erm, yar, you get the meaning.
My Euro's final prediction? Most probably Germans VS the Russians. It would be a pity for the Germans to lay mercy to the fat Turkey and erm...Hiddink would coach the Russians to grab a small victory over the inexperienced young spanish side. Finals would be hard, because when luck is shining, pigs do fly. Hmmmm.. not a good example, but, yeah.

Alright, back from Japan and I will post the photos and stuff later. Sad stuff first
Well, received news from a group of ex-4e4 classmates that Mr Kelvin Tan passed away. It shocked me instantly because it was just so random! That was the first msg I saw on my hp tt morning in the hotel and it changed my day. Today's his cremation and Im not attending it. Not because I hate to go solo or whatsoever, but because no-one gave me the address despite me asking for it and......I have an appointment in school today. I remembered Mr Tan punishing the guys in the class for not attending PE lessons once, and that he told us the importance of sticking to our schedule. Now, Im doing what he's echoing, perhaps from above.
Read quite alot of ZHSS juniors' blog about what happened regarding his death. Most said he delayed a serious virus treatment to concentrate on the preparation of the Mid year exams. And if given treatment now, chances are he would most likely become a vegetable. Thus his family decided to let him go.
But come to think of it all, he has 1 good thing to be happy, seriously happy about. He has seen the love for him. The number of people turing up at the wake, the cards the teachers moved from his office to the wake site, the condolences messages filled with tears that wept for him, his parents love for him. The relationship between a teacher and student is just that simple, teacher and student. At the end of the day, what a teacher wants to see is his students coming back to him, recognising him, knowing what he's done. And, he has seen it.
At 36 its too young to die, in the minds of most people. But there are no written rules in life. Life is a maze with the lights shut. Some get their way through, some dont.
Well, I will always remember him as the form teacher who
-Does his best for the class
-Shows the history videos tt hypnotises everyone to sleep
-Sways his hands around the whiteboard to explain a factor/reason in the SEQ
-LOVES branded stuff
-Has that huge number of soft toys in his car
-likes his spiky hair
-super duper hates gary phua
-Cares for us all =)

He's not gone, he's just living deep in our memories.

Hmmmmmm...time really flies.
Its was last week when the common tests started and now, poofff, its over. Both concerts I had to attend were over, got my ipod touch and now, holidays. Tomorrow, start of 7 days in Tokyo at 11.55pm. See, this is what I mean, time "flying" .
And it does not feel like almost 2 yrs since I've left ZHSS. Probably 1 yr. The JC guys are going to NS pretty soon and Im going in too a year later. Ahhhh, then mostly Uni and then working life! See, after secondary sch, you've boarded a "bullet train" through life. I didnt understand this in the past, kids wanna be adults and adults wanna be kids. Now I certainly, clearly do. Being a kid is still the best. Who cares abt M18 movies? 1 movie for so much stress? Nah, not worth it. =P
Packed my luggage today, loaded my ipod with songs, charged the camera, changed currency,iron out some minor stuff and well, all set to go. Third plane ride in a year. I've been going away since the last Dec hols. China, China again and now Japan. Well, I would categorise them under...hmmm.. lets see......supernations?! Yeah, too much Red Alert. Oops.
Ahhh, the 3G iphone is out and its at the same price as the old model? Yeah, slimmer, more colour options, 3G obviously, GPS (Oh thats the only thing I would love), MobileMe and well, waiting for the review to know more about it. However, Im currently v v satisfied with my ipod touch. Did I mention I managed to add the whole wikipedia into it? Yeah. And I added this graph plot thing which plots yr graph, gives the max and min values etc etc etc. There's converter too, which converts anything from acceleration to mass. Not forgetting a dictionary combined with the meanings of Oxford's advanced learner's dictionary and Britannica concise. Ahh. this app called pianist too where you can....play the piano on the ipod touch! Its a whole world full of apps and I dont call it ipod touch if I had to, it would be named ipda touch. =)
Ahhh,off to check my checklist again.
See you guys, TC!
You've always been there, and forever will be. =)

Wooo, finished CTs le..Though FOOP paper was a little tough. Hehe. But still quite okay.
Went down to Sim Lim to get my ipod touch!! Wah seriously, 1st and 2nd levels are for tourists. So ex! 590 for 16GB ipod touch? I got 1 at the top level, 575, including front and back screen protector! =D Lucky didnt jump in to buy at the second level. Whew. Anyway, I had loads of fun, well more like less of energy, from loading in the songs and the album art. But its super nice when its all done, trust me. Once you see it, you wont feel like leaving home without it.
Evening was reserved for the NJHB concert preview in the Ngee Ann Kongsi Performing Arts Theatre! Yeah Ngee Ann! Haha. By some form of confusion and miscommunication, I had to wait outside the HCI bus-stop for 40 mins for someone who was eating away at serene centre's mac. And who forgot my coke in the end. Haiz...lol... Decided to go in chop place first, but but but,the side gate didnt open. Gosh! Once tt happens, it means a super long long walk to the main gate and I think it took me 15 mins. Half soaked when I reached the outside of the auditorium. The concert was...NICE! Good selection of songs, creativity was certainly present in playing the pieces, overall sound was nice. Hmmmm.... almost nothing to pick about. And to re-iterate again, the songs that they played were my favs! The Jay Chou ones, I dont wanna miss a thing, Canon in F. NICE! It would be a pity not going. And it made me knew the meaning behind the Armageddon song I dont wanna miss a thing. So sad....sob sob sob...lol
And so after the concert we took a photo cos yeah, Jamie was rushing to do other stuff and erm, it was kinda late. Scaring Eunice was super fun on the way out, with the dark alleys. Jiayi and I sort of took turns to give a "BOO" to hype up the "atmosphere"? LOL.
Where the moments spent with you in the moment I treasure. I dont wanna close my eyes, I dont wanna fall asleep cos I miss you baby and I dont wanna miss a thing.Cos even when I dream of you,the sweetest dream will never do, cos I miss you baby, and I dont wanna miss a thing.
=D

Hmmmmm...Ah......
Today marks the end of the ACDA paper and tomorrow, the last CT paper for this semester, FOOP. Well at first I didnt really understand FOOP, how the programming works and stuff like that. But after 1 hr of FULL concentration on it, it does makes sense afterall! So I guess it should be quite alright for tomorrow's paper. =)
JC peeps(Well not all) tend to look down on poly kids. But well, what do they have to say abt Ngee Ann's 3rd graduate to enter directly into NUS school of medicine? NOTHING! Cos we own! Yeah. As the saying goes, A good cat is the one that catches the rat.
Though going into poly has made me regret somehow in a way or another, but it does make me learn more, esp. on the computer stuff, programming. I've learnt alot of Electronics and software programming basics. Now, I can relate better to the .....erm.....technology world! I dont call myself a professional, but at least just this tiny weeny bit to becoming a veteran. =D
So tomorrow's 12.30pm = liberation for 2 weeks. Well, that's better than nothing!
P.S. My post is not to promote Ngee Ann or anything.

Ah.... another 2 more hs to the TP CT paper.=) Cant wait for the CTs to be over. Cos I've finally made up my mind and I've decided to get the 16GB ipod Touch. I find it "illogical" to buy an iphone which can call and sms, with half the capacity, at another 100 dollars more?!
I've like so many movies and show to load into this new device of mine like..
-Chronicles of narnia (last yr's)
-Super Man returns
-Nancy Drew
-Shanghai Kiss
-Forbidden kingdom
-Iron man...oh yeah!!
and 1 more super nice HK drama,
I just realised after compressing and converting the dvd files, that my new 16GB ipod touch can hold a whole 33 episode HK drama serial for half the space!! Whooo, looks like I made the right decision.
9 more days to Japan.
Countdown to Euro 2008, with Portugal for the win!! Roooooo-Nallllll-Dooooooo..
