Working in the holidays

Well, yesterday was my last day of work with thinksmart learning partners Pte Ltd www.thinksmart.com.sg. I got to know them by a workshop held by them in my school during the 7th 8th and 9th of November.

I simply love their way of teaching science or DoE(design of experiments). If chung cheng could change their idea SLIGHTLY. XD. But I doubt they can.

I was lucky, definitely, for I had a chance to work with them, instead of doing macdonalds, flyers or slacking around.

I've worked with them for one and a half months already, completed 3 and a half projects, it has indeed been a crazy and enriching experience working with them. haha, a bunch of mad scientists, but fun though. I've learnt many many things, valuable information, and knew some other people.

More importantly, as a comparison,
I could see how illogical some things are.
I could see how screwed up chung cheng is.
I could see how serious my mistake was.
I could see how much the education system needs a change.
As Yalin says, we are only taught to answer questions in school. Totally agree.

I hope that I can work with them in the future and always keep in contact.

I ride alone,

because I couldn't find a friend nearby.


She said that she rides,

but does she ride alone too?


Well, I don't have any idea,

but I hope that she rides alone.


I'd like someone to ride with me.

Can she ride with me?


I hope she can.

For you, love and friendship are almost the same thing
And your love tends to be the enduring, long lasting kind
(You've been known to still have connections with exes)
But sometimes your love is not the most passionate
Leap before you look, and you'll find that fire you crave

Hi guys, I am back from my trip to Malaysia. It was a 4 day trip, I didn't quite like it.

I didn't know how screwed up the country was until this trip, although I had some trips into that country before. It's not good to talk too much about this.



During the return trip to Singapore, my sister and I had nothing much better to do but to count.

May I present my statistics.

VEHICLES IN MALAYSIA

40 out of 100 domestic cars are of PROTON brand.

3 out of 100 domestic cars are red, pink or maroon.
13 out of 100 domestic cars are pure black.
10 out of 100 domestic cars are blue.

40 out of 100 vehicles are motocycles.
10 out of 100 vehicles are heavy vehicles.

I certainly hope that my statistics has given you a better idea of the automobile market of Malaysia. =)

yay I've got a new blogskin already! So is it nice? Please feel free to leave your comments. haha

Guys, I've written something on the class blog. Go check it out. The link can be found on the left.

today's Andy's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY! lol

Hi Folks,

went to watch casino royale with my parents today! The movie not bad lah, just that Daniel Criag isn't as nice as Pierce Brosnan. I must say that Ian Fleming(the author of the James Bond series) is indeed a brilliant, if not a genius, writer. There is always a moral to a story, desirable to learn or not, and the moral that I've learned is to never trust anybody fully, you can't tell a book by its cover.

Okay, it has been a few days since I'm back from my camp, and my knee still pricks every time I climb the stairs. Damn it, but I still don't know why.

I'll change my blog skin soon, hopefully.

and all is in the past

and all is in the past

Yesterday, my sister brought me a copy of PCPS's 2006 school magazine. As I slowly flipped through the pages, memories all the way from primary 1 flashed across my mind, letting me experience the feeling once again. I could still remember how Mr Simon Goh offered me 50cents for another plate of fried rice when a guy accidentally knocked me down when I was in primary 1. I could still remember my first and amiable form teacher- Mrs Agnes Chen-, her voice, her face. I could still remember the "good" times with Mr Yip when I was in primary 2&4 and also Ms Amy Tan. Also the industrious and best EMS teacher I could ever have, Ms Teo and also Mr Tang, the best chinese teacher. I could also remember the friends, who may have forgotten me by now. And many many many many more teachers.

But all is gone, and never to return.

I can never have Jasmine snatching my stuff anymore, or to play catching as a whole class again, or listen to any of the teachers teaching in front of us, or even to see a classmate again. We are now the alumni of pcps, not students. It's a cold hard fact, to me.




Life's all about meeting and parting isn't it?

I urge everyone, especially my dear classmates from 2cr, to go and read yunting's blog. Thanks. Her link can be found on the left

the last day of 2cr 2006

the last day of 2cr 2006

hate to say this, but today is the last day for us as 2couragers. everyone's feeling differently, but theres one emotion that has certainly ran through our minds--well I don't know how to describe it, fear of separation? Or isit not fear but sadness of separation? Maybe it is a combination, the complex feeling which cannot be easily described. I will just miss everyone in 2 courage, especially my best friend(LOL) who will not be in the same class with me next year.

Therefore to mark this memorable day, emilene, jacie, weigin, jessica, yanbing, ziyi, weisiang and I went out on an outing to cathay shopping centre for a movie. Before that we had a hard time trying to get ziyi with us and finding our way there. We also had our sumptous lunch(for some), but I had a gassy one, at long johns silver. Then we went on to catch the movie "dead or alive"- a film based on a fighting game. Bah but actually i didn't like the movie much, it was too short- abt 90 mins?- not long enough for me to warm the seat and it wasn't good. After the movie we walked out of the building and suddenly weisiang said, "shit, my handphone is missing again". Then we were like lol, we went into that building again, asked that lady whether we could go in and search for the phone, and that lady produced a phone in the drawer and asked "is this yours?". haha, weisiang was lucky. Had his phone been of better quality, he might not have been so lucky, lol.

After the movie we went to plaza sing, went to mini toons, and for an unknown reason, to the mrt station. Then jessica had to go home, and weigin wanted to follow. After they had left, I led the rest to a "remote" corner somewhere near the LAN shop, and we started chatting.about everything. Yanbing was horny, lol, never seen such a horny girl before. We talked from 5pm to abt 6pm? Quite a long duration.Then we found ourselves stuck in the middle of nowhere discussing our directions and our next outing. We made ziyi miss 3 trains, lol. Then we agreed to have a phone conference on sunday evening. There is where we parted. That is how we parted.

hi guys, went to the new vivocity just now. It was nice, I would say, but however the construction and the opening of shops are not 100% complete. Vivocity is a great architecture masterpiece- it sort of combines shopping with some simple "relaxation", children playground and some open spaces into a fixed amount of space, without the feeling of disorder or dishevelment. I went there with my mother, my father and my sister to have dinner. There were like 3 food courts in the whole "city" and we went to the one named "food republic".

I must say that it is quite interesting to experience the atmosphere of the in Singapore during the 1920s that was attemped to be featured in the food court's unique theme. The stall vendors there are dressed in the simple clothings which should be the common clothings during the 1920s plus the bandanas, haha, they are funny. The tables and chairs, the cutlery and the decoration all are into the 1920s theme. The food was quite expensive though.

Then we went round the building and went to shop at the vivomart, which is made up of giant, and some other supermarkets. I would say wow, it is quite mega in the physical and variety sense.

i shall stop here, bye!

You Are 80% Boyish and 20% Girlish

You have a tough exterior - and usually a tough interior to match it. You're no nonsense, logical, and very assertive. Sometimes you can't understand women at all, even if you're a woman yourself. You see things rationally, and don't like to let your emotions get the best of you.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

lol.. maybe it isn't that accurate huh

WORLD TRADE CENTER

On Wednesday, lie qi and I went to catch the movie "world trade center". Now its for the movie review. For the trailer click here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469641/trailers

The touching film is based on the accounts of 2 survivors, Port authority sergeant John Mcloughlin(by Nicholas cage) and Will Jimeno(by Michael Pena) and in the September 11 attack. The start of the film seemed like an ordinary Tuesday morning, but their "adventure" later on would not be so mundane. The story unfolds as the buildings collaspe and the two policemen struggles to survive.

I shall not tell too much about it, go watch it, it's nice.

The movie, directed by Oliver Stone, focuses on the human events- mainly on the 2 survivors- and brings out the selflessness and helpfulness of the people, instead of the tragedy or destruction, during that day. As the tagline goes, "The world saw evil that day, two men saw something else", lol, I saw it too, and the audiences can see that too.

The things I like about this film, it is not so "Hollywood", not that drama, natural and close to our hearts.

One thing I found ususual, Oliver stone did not use much of the "endlessly repeated" clips that we are already bored with. Instead he uses great sound effects and some maybe visual effects. It made the building's collaspe feels so real.

Everyone should go watch it... ya.
It's a good film.

Steve Irwin is dead.

Today, the world has lost a guy, he was not an ordinary guy; Steve Irwin was the croc hunter, an animal passionate, the world's wildlife icon. But unfortunately, in an recording for a doccumentary this morning at batt reef(a part of the great barrier reef), he accidentally boxed a stingray, which caused it to attack, and the stingray threw its spikey tail up to hit Steve's chest. It is believed that it caused cardiac arrest in him. It is really a pity, nature conservationists lost an enthusiastic partner, his wife lost a caring husband and his children lost a yet-understood father. Personally, I truly think that he has done a huge part in nature conservation and public education on the importance of it. He shouldn't have departed at this time. The Earth is in crisis, Mother Earth needs him, we need him too, to help protect our crumbling habitat. Steve, you have been gone too early, too early. I will remember you. Steve, my last respects to you. CROCS RULE!

to Steve, homo sapiens, and the other animals on earth

hie people, blogging again. Today is teachers' day eve. My fellow ex-classmates and I have come together once again in our primary school, to remind ourselves of the efforts put in by the teachers a few years back. Time has passed quickly, now we are all taller, fatter or skinner, stronger, GROWN UP. Sometimes it dawns on us that we can't go back to our primary school times. At noon, almost everybody was at the school meeting the teachers, we caught up a bit. After that eugene, suwenn. yilei, sining, ryan, sophia, timothy, and I went to town to catch a movie. Then sophia left at about 2.30. Before that we had had our lunch at mos burger, and 2 guys from hwa chong came and joined us(who are also ex-students of pcps)and went to the arcade to play for a while. From 4-5.30pm, we watched a lame movie named "monster house". We met quan qi in the cinema! I didn't like it, I don't like animation movies, moreover, the storyline wasn't good. Speaking of the 2 guys, they were quite extra la. Made it felt weird, only eugene was talking to them. After the movie, timo and I wanted to go home, the boys wanted to play LAN, and the girls were going to meet someone. Thats where we said goodbye. My day ends here. This's where i say goodbye. GOODBYE!

strange indeed...

STRANGE INDEED

Today, something that seemed weird to me occurred. This morning, ms tan asked 5 boys from our class to go collect some maths stuff. We went into the office, collected a great deal of maths file that occupied our hands, and got ready to leave. This is the WEIRD part, really weird, I just cannot understand, I really could not understand his actions. Changyi pulled the door open and teachers stood outside waiting, clearing the path for us. Then, don't know waiting for what, Changyi just stood there and did nothing. Then after 10 seconds,the teachers couldn't stand it and moved in. After all the teachers moved in then Changyi started to move... I was like "What the hell is he doing? Move la!". I'm sure that in the normal minds of human beings, It is almost for sure that "more fortunate" should give in to the "less fortunate". Such as you help to open and hold the door for one who is carrying loads before entering the place yourself. From my point of view, I think that Changyi has his brain wrongly wired. I've experienced many other cases of various scenarios with him, with unexpected responses. Anyway, do you people feel that it is WEIRD? or is that my thinking is WEIRD??

hi guys, i've changed my blog skin already, and gonna start blogging really soon.

CAMP

hey people, did you miss me during my 2 days absence? And do you know where i had gone? i had gone for a time-wasting camp for ncc, held in the ncc headquarters-amoy quee camp. 2 days 1 night. total waste of time. it would be better if i went to school. they claimed that it would be "fun", maybe to them, it was, for me, no. we met those attitute tampiness sec students, gave us that kind of face, that kind of attitute. we played rock climbing, rapelling. archery(it was fun!), Motivational Obstacle Course and last of all, PAINTBALL! actually paintball was quite fun, just that the duration was too short. i was scared of getting shot, so i hid behind 2 containers and stuck my gun inbetween the holes, then i snipe. a guy was bullied by me, he stood up and i kept shooting his head lol, i didn't get a single pellet though. but the first day was definitely boring, i don't like those activities. i don't wanna to go for any camps anymore, i will miss home.

Visit to the Eurasian Heritage Centre

The visit to the Eurasian Heritage Centre

Today we went to the centre, very near to school, as a history fieldtrip; the centre was just 10 steps away from president S.R Nathan's residence and we saw gurkas.

After alighting the bus, the "many tile made" picture caught my attention, it was the picture of Portugal capital during the 16th centuries. It was indeed special as it is made of many many small tiles as it is mono-coloured(Portuguese blue?as the lady said).

The first place we went was the building's 3rd floor(if I am not wrong) to look at its exhibits. There was Portuguese music of the 1930s. It was a corridor with pictures and words on the sides like an avenue with the Japanese stuff on the right and the Eurasian stuff on the left. Most of the pictures and quotes were never seen before by me. After that we were led to a room with exhibits of real stuff during the times like the Japanese and English swords, the soldier's paybook, badges medals and some cooking materials. We can also hear the Japanese music. It was really an experience.

Lastly, the lady guide brought us to a room where most of us sat on the floor to watch a video of the Eurasians during WWII. We also luckily met a "survivor" from the dunnodunno wad catholic colony in Malaysia, he is a Singaporean though. Though the guy didn't tell us much, we can tell that the period was not easy.

The lady guide was fierce though
:)
