So the house comm dropped by at marina bay chin huat live seafood steamboat restaurant yesterday for dinner. I can't emphasize how disgusting and gross it was to hack a living crab into two and put alive prawns into hot boiling water. At the same time, I cannot emphasize enough how exciting it was doing that and how tasty they started to taste as I ate more and more and more prawns. To people who cry when you see a poor lizard or cockroach squashed and crushed, you'll probably want to avoid going there to witness these brutal and sinful doings. But if you do that, I guess you'll probably miss out on the great food and experience. Not forgetting the great company!
Anyway, I'm really glad to be in contact with cheryl and jinrui again. haven't seen or talked to them in some time but these few days have been great. Cheryl's still as pretty as before, but too bad she's in thailand now. Jinrui's still as joker as before as well. Went to play pool with him and yuan xiang today and boy we sucked! But oh wells, played with this year 1 from RJ and managed to draw with him 1-1. Spent the afternoon playing winning eleven and watching RJ dance night in a semi fast forwarded fashion.
Anyway, I'm trying to find a really cheap place to highlight my hair. Wanted to try DIY but decided to chicken out. Still deciding on colour also. But most probably natural light brown I think. Don't want to attract too much attention like this other guy in school that recently became an albino.

Today I bid farewell to the old dunman high and set foot on the "new" dunman high.

The majority of the papers are over, or should I say only Bio MCQ is left. Bio option wasn't too bad, at least i was really impressd with one of my one mark answer. Can't wait for thursday!
Went to make new specs today. Realised my eyesight went up again so I really hope I'd be able to go for lasik in the near future. The new specs are really geeky I think, but in a way cute. Not that I'm cute, but the specs are cute. Sadly, they'll only arrive early december. Shall upload pictures when I get them.
Mugging period was really boring so I discoveed a new pasttime. I started looking at old pictures and they're really amusing. how people have changed and all. All the 1I, 2I, 3J. 4J and o5S27 pictures as well as the NPCC pictures and the family photos. So, I decded to take some pictures of them and display here.
As you can see, I was outcasted in Sec 2 and all the girls shunned me. So sad right? The pose weijie's doing was the trademark of 2I! look at how short our shorts and how long our socks were.
The highlight of this sec one photo is the wonderful display of affection between loh and shiwen I think. the bad thing is I cut myself off the picture.
This picture has one a special meaning in 4J's guys' heart(inside joke). If you realised, Mr raja has the same fate as me in the first picture.
I kind of like this picture a lot. Because I look like the boss of the punks right in the middle of the picture. I seriously don't know what roy, ian, michelle, xiaofeng and zuhao are doing.
Guess this is the only normal picture we took that day, it's prbably the nicest too. Somehow it didn't appear on the yearbook and an uglier one was chosen.

I hate the feeling of mugging on a hot saturday afternoon when many others are enjoying themselves after completing their battle with the A-level monster. But actually, I should be quite thankful that i didn't have to wrestle 8 papers in a week like those PCME people. At least I have this weekend to mug Mr Hoh Yin Kiong's special sutra which will be my last hope to pull up my bio marks. Anyway, I just happen to see a fellow Victorian's blog which had a really interesting observation. At the start of our JC life, we had an orientation which had a Hollywood movie themes, with all the star wars, pirates of the carribean, tarzan, etc. Also, at the end of our JC life, we're going to have a prom with a Hollywood theme! I bet the student councillors didn't think of this and it happened by chance, but it's really quite a cool way to start and this this section of our lives. Maybe everyone should attend prom as our original "flicks"... or maybe not.I had this idea of what i was going to wear for prom when i was watching lee hom's concert. But after asking the tailor about the price, I changed my mind. It cost $300+!!!!! And right now, i'm not even intending to buy a suit for prom because I feel that it's not worth it wasting so much for one night. I'd rather spend the money going overseas or buying other stuff. Ok, ctually this is what my mum psycho-ed me to do, so it's actually good to listen to mum once in a while. Like Jay Chou says, "ting ma ma de hua". So right now, I'm going to borrow from my cousin, and maybe the only stuff I'm gonna buy are shoes and maybe a shirt. Also, I'm gonna be changing my specs that's probably gonna make it's debut on prom night, but not sure how it'll turn out. Actually, it might make me or break me, so let's see how it goes.

Econs is over! 3 more papers to go before As are over too, and 2 of them are multiple choice. Feeling much more relaxed recently but feeling emo at the same time. Whenever I think of the day next year when we're getting back our results, I always feel a sense of guilt towards myself. Have I done all that I can? Or did I slack a lot, hoping that an A will just descend upon me? Right now 2 subjects are over. I'm quite confident of an A for math but I can't say the same for econs. The fact that I find the paper difficult while others found it alright always troubles me. Am I pinning overly high hopes upon myself, or are others having too low an expectations? Probably I am being paranoid, and much of these has to be attributed to the fact that i was aiming for 4As right before the exams. people tell me with my grades of BBCC in prelims, I'll be able to get 4As if I equally, if not harder. I think i can do it too, but after these papers this belief is slowly dimishing. Not that they're exceptionally tough, but I don't see myself commenting that the papers were ok like my friends sometimes do.Well, nothing I can do right now in the middle or rather the end of the exams. But I wonder if I should continue aiming for the 4As, because people say aim for the moon, so that when you fall you'll still have the stars. But maybe I should aim lower to make myself less paranoid. I'll be happy with AABB, but that'll only mean an improvement of 4 grades from prelims overall. And it's not like I'll be able to achieve that easily. Whatever it is, I think I should really go back to mugging. Still need my bio option paper to pull up my bio marks. Wish me luck!

I was just quite pissed at my own blog for being so inactive for such a long time, so I decided to take this little break inbetween the A levels to blog. Math had came and gone, and so did Bio paper 2 and Chem paper 3. Well, I guess if nothing goes wrong, Math should be an A! The papers were rather standard and do-able, except for the fact that a few of the paper 2 stats questions required some analysing first. Chem paper 3 was alright as compared to other papers I have done over the past 2 years. If paper 2 and paper 1 are around the same standard, or even easier, hopefully I can get A for chemistry too. Bio, being the first paper, was really demoralising. Mr Toh advised me to do the structured questions first, so I did, and ended up having no time for the essays. My answers were really lousy and short. But come to think of it, strustured is worth 60 marks and essays only 40 marks. So hopefully I did alright for the strustured parts. What's making me paranoid is the fact that people found it rather ok. Well, guess I must really study hard for the option topic and MCQ. To me, this seems like the hardest A to get. Next week is the econs week, plus a chem paper 2. have this whole break to mug for econs so I'm telling myself I must do well for it. My goal of 4As seem really near, yet somehow, they're still rather unpredictable. Hopefully my ancestors will bless for for the upcoming exams. Well, guess the next time I blog will be the next break afte econs.
