Goin to school nowadays is such a drag. regardless of what some teachers may say about time being much well spend coming to school rather than stayin at home, i beg to differ. i feel that either ways are indeed good for students, such as myself as we gear up for the upcoming A Level Exams in a few weeks time.

Firstly, not going to school means we can wake up late which means that we would have more energy to study. Secondly, not going to school means that we do not have to be stress out by certain teachers who are not helpin but adding more stress to our already stressful life. Thirdly, not going to school means that your study time is now more flexible and you would not be dictated by something call a "timetable" which i would elaborate on later. well, these are too me sufficent enough reason why i am seldom seen in school and when i do appear it is on special guest appearance.

i personally feel that all these going to school stuffs are all rubbish. so what if you go to school everyday but at the end of the day, you learn nothing? then what is the point of going to school? you dragged your tired body to school, not being able to focus, not being to learn anything as compared to yourself resting at home and when you wake up, you feel more refreshed to challenge the subjects that are in front of you. there is a big diversity between these 2. well, i do feel this way. i can study better alone without any distractions. thankew very much.

also. don't know what policies the school is coming up with. "Consultation" period. Sounds nice eh? from the common and agreed intepretation of "consultation" it means that it is suppose to be period whereby you sit down and discuss with the teachers whatever doubts that you have to clear. but in fact, these "consultation" sessions have become extra supplementary lessons for students like us. i mean, if the school want to give extra lessons, jus need to put there extra lessons right? what's up with extra lessons being covered under the guise of "consultation" period? think it's pure crap man. no wonder we end school at 1330 everyday. looks so nice on paper only. if we add in the extra lessons, we would still end at the same time. looks like the school is desperate to keep us, year 3 in schools man. the teachers must really miss us so much and cant bear us to leave, thus explaining the "consultation" periods. (anyways this is a student's point of view)

well, right now at this period, there is no one to depend on except for myself. no one can help me except for myself. if i dun, no one would. gotten that little catalyst that i was lookin for to get me started and it was a deliberate attempt for me to get it.

STUDY! STUDY! STUDY! how nice if it would be over soon?

what did i do today? well, went out to study with feline and ya, i was there much earlier than expected. she expected to me be there by noon and i was there about 2 hours earlier? tried to do some econs and ya, did manage to get started with the beggining topics.

What's" Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

soooo nice of meryl to ask me to help her with her tutorial assignment. and the question really left me stunned and astounded. NUS homework is really different from normal homework man.

here's the question:

lc xpres says:

A. Macro-Environmental Analysis – Individual Assignment One (Written Report for A only)
Carry out a macro-environmental analysis for the following market or industry by identifying specific political and regulatory, economic, social and cultural, demographic, natural and physical, and technological trends and developments which can have impact on the respective market or industry. Explain clearly what the impacts are. Based on your analysis, comment on what the company can do to improve its performance.

i. Personal computer market by Hewlett Packard.

ii. Potato chips market by PepsiCo (Frito Lay).

iii. Men’s wellness services by Expressions (:http://www.menexpressions.com/)

i am soooooo not going to take her course if i ever get to NUS man, which seems like a remote possibilty. lol. i may end up sweeping the streets one day. not bad la. at least it is an outdoor job.

ok.... nothing much to say abt today also. jus that it is a rather interesting day. anyways TEA APPRECIATION shopping coming up. looking for some clothes to wear then. well, i think that the idea is a pretty lame one, considering the fact that a dinner may not cause much and it did not occur to the school to have it after our A's? i mean 3 years in MI, we should at least have a memorable send off? ya.... it's really memorable. why? i am paying so much for a cup of tea that i can get frm the coffeeshop. hyperinflation as quoted by kumar.

when u listen and not talk, you will learn more.....

cool eh? Prelims are finally here. Kickstarted the Prelim Season with Lit Paper 8. how was the paper? pretty ok i guess, if tsar can make sense of the nonsense that i wrote which seem like logical nonsense. well, got back my Lit Paper 2 too. i pass. but well, only an "o" la. haha. not bad for someone who have no clue what 2 books are talkin abt. please with myself? ok la. i cld have done better if i had studied.

after sch, went for lunch with Elly, Mark & Shi Hong. we makan at Cafe Cartel. it was simply superb!!! been a long time since i went there to eat. haha. wanted St. Louis Pork Ribs intially. but due to it being out of stock, decide to try the fish & chips which elly recommended. haha. true to her word, it was quite nice but the portion was too big and it was too filling. i feel like a bloated balloon after that. if u think this is exciting, wait till u hear what happen next.

intially, we thought of walkin ard J8 before heading home. and guess what. the DOTA God decended among us and imbused us with DOTA Frenzy. and we went DOTAing at Yishun. lol. 5hrs straight we sat there, killing each other. and others joined in the fun too. well, it was elly's virgin attempt and sad to admit, she plays much better than me, a fellow noob :(( distressing eh? haha.

history paper tmr. gg to chiong for it. had not fail my hist since yr1 and i would like to maintain that record :))

Your Biblical Personality Style:

Inspirational & Intuitive:
As an "I" style, your personality is similar to Biblical heroes like the Apostle Peter, Barnabas, Abigail and Miriam. All of these people had charisma; and with their ability to encourage and inspire others, they were popular people to be around. Peter was the natural spokesperson for the twelve apostles, Abigail went and spoke to David on behalf of her foolish husband Nabal and inspired David to take the high road in a bad situation. Personal growth areas for the high "I" style include gaining a sense of balance in all they do since they tend to always see the positive side of things and sometimes underestimate the difficulties that lie ahead. Peter, who proclaimed he would never deny Christ, had no idea of the events that would cause him to lose his confidence, deny knowing Christ, and then feel rejected. Yet Peter regained his passion and purpose and fifty days later stood in front of thousands and boldly told of all the things that had happened. Peter quickly was regarded as one of the early church leaders, and was a great evangelist and gospel writer.

Bertram prefers to let others handle much of the detail work associated with his endeavors, preferring to focus on the creative and innovative aspect of the task.

WOW! Prelims is coming up. for those people that are enthusiastic about it, it's 4 days away. for those that want to have nothing to do with it, it's still a week away. and A Levels at the last glance is 2 months away. well, how fast time flies. 2006 really came and went in a blink of an eye. soon the exams would be here and the year would be over before we could even say "Boo". not that i am looking forward to it as it would mean NS is coming and that i would be a year older. but that folks, is still some time away.

haha. shall go into more detail into what i wanna do after A Levels since i am like a little bored here. well, in answer to Michs, yup. i wanna pierce my ear. ha. it's something that i wanted to do eversince sec sch but NCC stopped me? haha. now that i am 1 and a half foot out of NCC, why not? nothing surprising about that :P well, to throw it in too, dyed hair, preferbly brown or blonde or mix. haha. as for the tattoo, after NS it is a definite that i would get it, before i enter into university if i ever get to there. seems cool i guess. i'm a rebel without a cause. jus fulfilling some dreams that i have since sec school.

if time permits too, would also like to work part time in a primary school teaching part time or maybe at an outdoor adventure company like what a few of my friends did. haha. i jus love working with kids :P haha and i totally hate a desk job. cant stand being indoors the whole day and i like working with people regardless of what others may think. they think they know me, but i bet they don't coz i really do not know myself too. make me seem like the weather, you never know when i'm going to rain or when i am going to shine. blah :P

kayaking licence is up next. pretty cool i muz say, get to meet people, get to kayak, get to tan, how good can that get? brings social interaction up to a whole new level. got hooked on kayaking ever since i took my 1 star in sec school but interesting to say was not that enthu intitally, but right now things are different. haha i want to go kayaking. but there is no time. weekends seem to be taken up and kayaking is only fun when going in groups. wheee.... next up when john complete his ALC Course round island kayaking at Palua Ubin. lol.

backpacking hols maybe in thailand or malaysia. would really be an experience to experience the country from a backpacker's point of view. how fun the trip is depends on the company too. with a loved one or with friends? or with total strangers? that are the things to consider. haha. it jus sound cool. imagine being stranded in a place with no money and havin to work for a living. not that it would happen but it jus sounds interesting? nah. i'm wierd.

jus a little rumblings from me. i have more plans for after A's but that all depends on date of enlistment.
