My HK Trip Diary : Part 2 - HK Is The Only Food Paradise in the World !

Everyone in the world can satisfy their picky tastebuds in Hong Kong; you get to eat ALMOST everything here... (except for sinister cuisines like eeky tribal-ritualish food - eg. Yak Milk Tea) I've just had ultra-sumptous 9-course dinner @ Times Square Causeway Bay. My favourites were the sauteed lamb chop, lobster baked with cheese and the shark fin soup. The total cost of this dinner was around HKD$3000. That sounds revolting though.

After getting our stomach on the verge of exploding, we had a walk at SOGO again.... well it's just a stone throw away. Bought Ashworths T-shirts + 1 pair of Levi's jeans + 1 Burberry coat for Mum. There was also a 15% storewide discount at Gucci... queued up outside the store waiting... Looks like the store had nothing good to offer. While Gucci was having a continuous flow of curious and discount-raging customers, its neighbouring Prada store was nearly empty! Poor Prada bags being left on the shelves.... Lol.

During the next few days, we spent our time shopping and eating as usual, and also playing with our cute toddler cousin! He's 3.5 years old, yet he's learning lots. Cantonese, English & Mandarin. Wow kids these days are sure busier than we do... I'll be posting pictures of him here.

We are planning to visit Ocean Park next week, and I'm expecting something good, cuz Ocean Park just had a makeover =) Will be blogging soon once I have access to a computer again. =p

My HK Trip Diary : Part 1 - Getting Dim-Summy

Hello !! I'm writing this post right now at my cousin's house in HK =)) For the first 2 days, I've been at SOGO Causeway Bay foraging for new fit-to-wear winter clothings, and my father's really generous about it! Bought Arnold Palmer + Teelocker jumpers for my 2 sisters, which cost over SGD $150+ ..., and I bought a black NIKE sweater @ HKD $485 !! [ will soon post up pictures ]. My HK Gourmet Bonanza haven't really start... just had appetitisers only ^^ Roasted pigeon + the choice of delish dim-sum tibits they have to offer to STUFF YOUR MOUTH! Hahaha... I must really say HK people DO spend alot of $$ on their meals... their breakfast (mainly yumcha time) starts from HKD$200+... If you choose Cafe de Coral / Maxim Restaurants as alternatives will reduce your breakfast expenditure by around 65%... but the taste still remains as good. I had a set meal at Cafe de Coral this morning, which consists of a Norwegian Fish fillet + smooth scrambled egg + thick toast + sausage + Ovaltine @ around SGD $4 ???

20th November, Thursday

Visited Wong Tai Sin Temple, and my family was welcomed by an insufferable bunch of old conner grandmamas... Those old people were loitering around the temple selling the praying peripherals, but apparently the temple has laid a new rule, which stipulates no bringing in of any praying stuff other than those thin joss-sticks. Then we have to discard all the thick candles + incense papers inside the temple's 'sinister collection bin'... I bet the temple must have collaborated with that bunch of scrying old people to garner donation for the temple... or not?!?! Anyway we just treat those 'cheated money' as a form of kind donation to the temple.... LOL!

After lunch @ a restaurant, we went to visit our relatives, and as usual, the adults will engage in their mahjong frenzy, that involves alot of high-decibel yodelling and a smoke-filled living room that resembles an illegal gambling den. No more activities later. Should be doing homework.... SAD!

Future updates: Will be going to Macau for a few days. My father told me that we're going to reside in a so-called 'Grand Venice Hotel'... Wow that sounds majestic enough... I wonder how it will be... YES and also not forgetting about casinos.

After the American Elections... what's the next good news?

Is..... PW IS FINALLY OVER !!! Wooo never going to see this slut again!! Mwahahaa... Going to wash my hands clean off it... YES JUST SCRAM! Lol I'm abit siao oredi.... haha, but it's worth all the joy! It's the cause for the whole world to celebrate about =) Let's see what I will do during the next few days...

1) Eat Buffet
2) Watch a movie (R.E.C - The remake of a mega-horror flick which bears the same title)
3) Eat more
4) Revision for upcoming diagnostic tests that are going to be graded A

So... 我的好朋友们, must eat and play more okay? This is our only proper holiday.... and after this must study hard !! Ace the A Levels !! 加油！加油！加油！

Say Buh-bye to the F***king Bitch named PW !!

I gotta admit that sometimes... I'm overtly expressive. Pardon me for that, ugh... Well... on a happy note, the ever-tormenting PW that sucked out half of my wonderful life is COMING TO AN END !! Yes finish off this idiot and let's do it well! Oh I'm so glad that 1/2 of my life's worst troubles is going to disappear forever.... (the latter is 1 thing that I would rather die than to do it - NS) To further sparkle my post-PW exuberance... I'm so going to HK !! Wahaha~! Gonna literally let my hair down and shop + eat like mad! I don't care if I'm gonna add on anymore sinful weights ! 1 more thing... when I return from HK... I'm going to be Xmas-carolling away @ Parkway Parade from 16 to 24 Dec... Be sure to catch moi fantabulous performance !! Lolx.

Oh and one last thing... which has been bothering me since the end of Promos... How am I going to revise all the things I've learnt for this year WHEN I'M ON A HOLIDAY !! Oh gosh... gotta find a way out... need to do well ! All the best to moi folks and HAPPY CHRISTMAS DAY* in advance!!!

*And a Happy New Year... <3

Moi JC1 Life's coming to a close...

Well, hopefully it can be a happy one. Not so much after fancy grades... just need to obtain a decent result slip is already fine with me. Did some serious schedule of work before the arrival of the Promos... glad I've managed to carry out my plan smoothly. It's just half a week left, and I must work my best! Haha...

After some time, I realise what Geraldine said was fiendishly, arcanely right. There's a swath of people out there, who are merely donning on ingenuine facades, and inside their heart, is filled with dark evil; they are horrendous creatures, no less than any sycophants, misanthropes and hypocrites. They are the irreconcilable ones; people who are born with low wit. They are the ones who seeks pleasure in bringing misery to other people, engaging in malicious misdemanours and shameless clandestine activities. I hope they can realise what they are doing isn't reflecting well about their character; they probably don't even care whether their image is tarnished or not, they are purely living in their own bubbles, not relating themselves to the world. How pathetic and low-life can they get.

I'm not going to delve further into this issue. Just hope that some people can stay true to themselves, and facing up to their moral conscience. To those freaks out there, please grow up, u ain't any puerile brainless child who can't think and judge on your own...

!@#$#%~

I'm like sooo worried for my Promos.... I've like 5 chapters left to revise??? Omg... How am I going to get moi As !! I need luck now... 1 clover bookmark is not enough. Urgh... I realised my teacher for a certain subject isn't that... professional. I'm like catch no balls during his lessons !?!? That's why I've to depend on myself already... and I dun patronise tuition centres for now. Maybe after my Promos, for the upcoming JC2 hell course. And Project Work isn't going soo smoothly as expected... I mean like comparatively incongrous with my group members' calibre and cognitive level. Still waiting for the report draft for editing.... Haiz.... Need to rush off now to complete my damn History homework which has been dragged for weeks oredi.... OK tatax.

2 Weeks to Promos ~

15 days left to the most major exam of 2008. I think I'm only 50% prepared.... this is very discouraging. Well... today I went back VS, wanted to claim my testimonial, but it wasn't time yet for the General Office. After that I went to Parkway with my juniors and I forgot to return back to VS.... LOL! I gave a private tuition to my junior.... on Organic Chemistry and a wee bit of Physics... I thought it was quite succesful. I have high hopes for my friend. I'm very sure he have the ability to enter VJC... GOOD LUCK REUBEN SU !

Learnt something new (or not): Another way of testing for alkenes other than bromination is by adding aq. alkaline potassium permanganate, whereby the purple hue will fade to colourless.

Come to think of it.... We've learnt that oxidation of alkenes by cold alkaline potassium permanganate will yield diol.... and the potassium permanganate is reduced... hence it explains the decolourisation. =)

Moi Overall Results for SA1

Well... all well ends well.... I think... I've got 3rd placing in my class, and I've attained 70% overall percentage for my SA1. =)

I'll take this point as my stepping stone... slowly... I'll make it to success.

Unrelenting stress...

Stress is an inevitable and an omnipresent entity; and the following are its counterparts:

Homework List

1) H2 Maths: Maclaurin's Series + Applications of Differentiation + Integration
2) H2 Physics: Work, Power & Energy + Circular Motions
3) H2 Chemistry: Chemical Energetics I & II + Organic Chemistry I
4) H1 GP: Currently no homework available [ 11.7.08 ]
5) H1 History: Currently no homework available [ 11.7.08 ]

Need to finish them by next week ASAP

Lost - Season V

I'm so like lost already... I'm heading for a crash-course. I'm heading for no directions, steering aimlessly and mindlessly in a swirling path... this is like a vertigo. This is so nuanced. I feel like there's nothing to be done [ although I feel strongly that there are homework to be completed ], and I'm slacking the whole day... AND IT'S 8 WEEKS LEFT TO PROMOS !!! I can't procrastinate anymore. This will be the end to all laziness. I WANT TO GET MOI A'S !

My First Extravagant Shopping Trip

Whoa!... today's moi first and only extravagant shopping trip... expenditure estimated at $3000++.... =x ~ Well... first my Papa brought us to Louis Vuitton to get our hands on the fantabulous monogram sling bag + handbag ~ This is what my mother bought:


I think it's nice... cause I chose it for my mum ~ Otherwise we would have camped in the shop for like 2 hours... Zzzz.. while my papa chose a simple black sling bag with a diagonal LV mark. After leaving Takashimaya, we headed for Crystal Jade @ Tampines Mall to have our dinner ~ Whoa the Double-boiled Egg White with Hashima in Coconut was fantastic !! Lurve it ^.^ ~ Well... after 1 tired day.... I need to sleep early... cuz I'm meeting my friends 2moro @ Bugis Junction, 10am for the MOE Movie Event !!! Byes ~

Oh My Goodness....

My computer is freaking struck by a virus.... a f**king Win32 Parite virus... It took me a hell lot of time just to remove this stinking idiotic little pest... Why on Earth do these things exist ?!?! Cursed the whoever evil manifestation behind this thing... MAY U BE CONDEMNED. Sigh... let's get moving on to life ....

[ P.S - I'm receiving moi first prize of recognition in TPJC... the humble handwriting competition award... =x ]

My Dream

After attending the NUS Open House for Faculty of Science.... I've realised my dream is to go for the Physics Major Course and as well as the Architecture course... I REALLY + SERIOUSLY need to work hard.... BE A NO-LIFE ZOMBIFIED MUGGER.... That will allow me to realise my dream... I'm yearning to enter the Physics Laboratory... engaging in researches... Learn how to design buildings... Omg that's all I want to do in my life. Jiayous for Promos and A Levels !!! XOXO

TPJC Choir Performance @ Esplanade 19th May 2008 is a SMASHING HIT !!

Hahax the title is a tad too extravagant.. lol ! But I lurrrve it !! XOXO ~ We've come a long way since the first day when I entered TPJC Choir; I still remember the unfamiliar faces I seen when I first integrate into the new environment; I still remember how nervous I am when I realised that I'm the only J1 Tenor that came for the very first sectionals. Oh my gosh... I'm speaking as though I'm writing a memoir lol !! Hahas... But I really had a good time with my seniors.. they're helpful, kind and patient. Although the times we had with the seniors are hasty and short... I will always remember the indelible bits of good memories that we had. THANK YOU J2 SENIORS FOR DEDICATING SUCH COMMENDABLE EFFORTS IN PREPARING US FOR THE CONCERT !!! Anywayz... I can't imagine how the handover will turn out to be. I'm not ready to accept the fact. I dunnoe why.... I think the decision is too sudden.... it's just too fast. And the imminent SYF competition is making me nervous.... oh my.... I can sense the pressure building up... homework + CCA !!! It's quite tough to strike a balance between the hectic academic and co-curricular schedule... I really need to sought help ASAP !! I will collapse one day if I can't cope... oh well... ON A BRIGHTER NOTE.... I LOVED THE CONCERT ALOT. ^.^ Okies, that's all for now... blessings for a good year.

Class BBQ

It was a tempestuous roller-coaster ride, an outpour of primordial, unconcealed emotions. The BBQ sort of altered each and everyone's perspective about one another within the class. People get extremely unsatisfied and furious during games; spouting an array of expletives and invectives in the midst of the activites. The harangue almost transformed into a conflict that I do not dare to contemplate. The resentment and unsatisfaction was building up along the procession of games, probably due to the nature of the games or the attitude group members was displaying. Fortunately, the night BBQ managed to salvage the situation to some extent. In this BBQ, I'd witnessed a different side of some of my classmates; I must admit that it was quite shocking.... Anywayz, I hope that my classmates can get along with each other in the long run. =p

Chemistry Chaos

I've not been performing up to my standards for EVERY SINGLE chemistry tests. I'm feeling so totally fed-up !! First test on Redox I got 9/20... Mole Concept is 10/15... AND recently 10.5/20 for Atomic Structure Test... this is like Hell... I really need salvation for my Sciences.. luckily I can cope with moi Physics...

Ushering the 23rd Council...

The Student Council Investiture was a glorious event. As the 22nd Student Council strides down the red carpet brimming with utmost pride, and later moving on to the stage receving their well-deserved token of appreciation and recognition, of their numerous effort that they have contributed to the school. After this the 23rd Student Council stepped out, again sashaying down the luxurious red carpet, each and everyone exudes grandeur and glamour. I was wondering if this batch is going to do any good to the school. The reason I've developed a certain degree of uncertainty and disapproval for this council is because I think that it's just only an agglomeration of popular and well-loved individuals, and this brings about the pretentious facade of the Council. It's merely a popularity contest; a meretricious chocolate-box; delusions of grandeur. What matters most is their capibility and competency, which I doubt all of the Council Members can develope to a significant extent. Some of the members have already shown their ' good performance ' by dozing off during lectures, coming late for class and not submitting their homework on-time. Is this what we call ' positive exemplar and role model ' ? What are they revered of ? Their outstanding and commendable social network and relationships ? I'm disgusted at the sheer reputation and adoration they have received. This doesn't really reflect much about the ' high standard ' of the Student Council. Lastly, I hope they can fulfil their promises made to us during the electrion period. I hate people who make empty promises and donning pretentious facades.

Urgh... So many tests coming up..

Aiyo... so many tests coming up.. especially those puzzling and bombastic Maths and Physics test... when I was going thru my notes... I realised some Maths notes weren't detailed enuf... omg !! Let me list the topics I've to learn:

Party Fractions ( Partial Fractions )
Buy-No-Meal Theorem
Sicko and Shitties ( Sequence and Series )
Eggy Peggy ( AP GP )

Physics we'll have Kinematics and Measurement... omg... Nid to finish off the pile of hw also...

OMG SO BUSIEE...

This week is the most hectic period so far... especially Thursday !! It's all about doom and gloom... I had TAF at 6.50am... ran 2.4km. At 10am, exclusive ' military ' training routine by Commando-Lee... later on had 2 hours of continuous GP lesson... at 5pm had a Maths Lecture till 7pm... and the Audi was like totally freezing.. and had to suffer from hunger.. >.< It was fiendishly dreadful and tormentous. This is how tough JC-life can be. It's nowhere near secondary school standard. I need a boost !! Homework and lecture notes are coming in like a charging tsunami... Stress is becoming more obvious. I'm having white hair !! Omg... Need a timeout. All deities please help me out !!! I'm on the verge of breaking down... ahhh ~~

The World Around Me...

This world is a vibrant and complex mammoth community... where a plethora of stereotypes exist together... creating swaths of diametric societies... and there's a group of people which I find it quite annoying. It's those people who are suffering from Maplestory-Syndrome. It's a new kind of adverse and subtle cyber-induced philosophical dilemma... they are all developing a cult revolving around Maplestory. They like to show-off pictures/videos portraying their ever-so wonderfully created and sculpted characters... or bugging people to join their community.. this kind of manifestation is unbearable and unacceptable. This is an important evidence of social degradation. People are getting obsessed over virtual reality, commiting loads of time indulging in them, ignoring other issues which they ought to be concerned with. ( eg. studies, family ) I've experienced this kind of trouble before. I neglected my studies and leisure time with my family members over Maplestory. The game is silently siphoning out the self-consciousness and normal state of thinking in you, while injecting toxins that erode one's moral values and self-discipline.

A Memoir of Mas Selamat : : The Runaway Fugitive

Look at this array of fanciful and splendid artwork by our fabulous TalkingCock.com team !! ^^ Haha, this will remain in the Hall of Un-famed 4eva !!!

Ahhh this is soo Sian ~!! [Pt 2]

Omg homework is piling exponentially !! The recurrence formula for the homework ( Hw ) is...

Hw ( n + 1 ) = [ Hw ( n) ]^100 !!!!

I'm going to explode... I need to handle the pressure. Turn down the valve !! Lemme list the homework for this week...

1) Tutorial Template on Postdam and Yalta Conferences
2) Assignment on Korean Civil War + Cuban Missile Crisis
3) Binomial Theorem Tutorial ( must redo all... )
4) Physics Thermodynamics Tutorial
5) Partial Fractions Tutorial
6) Atomic Structure Tutorial
7) General Paper Reading Log

I think that's all... ( hopefully )... I MIGHT find more pieces of Hw to complete when I scavage my bag again... good luck to mie !!! ^^ >.<

Ahhh this is soo Sian ~!!

Finally can get peace from all the fatigue at school... Although I'm writing now with tremendous tiredness... going to doze off anytime !!! School life so far have been tedious... but in the long run it will get worse... Must work hard from now onwards.. no procrastination, no laziness, no complacency, no slacking ! Yes... I must make full use of every precious time I possess and not squander any opportunities away... Sigh... it's less than 2 years to another yet Majorly Major Exam.. and 2 years to the meaningless and abysmal NS... Life's just so tough ! Urgh... Nvm... treat each day like a new day... forget the dreadful and soporific yesterdays and get ahead, aiming for the bright, sanguine future... Yepps that's all I've to say... I neeeeed a sleep like immediately !!! d(-.-)b ZzZzzz

Starting a brand new chapter of my life

The orientation was a transitional period for us to move ourselves from secondary life to Junior College life. I must say it was quite enjoyable... especially the last day of Orientation, where everyone immerse themselves in a night of frenzy ( + aural-hell concert ) I was quite traumatised by the loud noise and a chain of fanatic people ~ Eep !

The beginning of JC1 Life was quite pleasant. I realised that my class had 2 students who were from my Sec Sch and 1 from my Primary Sch Class ~ So glad to see them back ~ Overall the class is quite decent.. no obvious signs of any tyrants or tykes... ^^

Okies I gtg now... have to mug Chemistry + Maths for now !! Aiming for As for my exams !!

So ever austere...

The pre-JC days are so mundane !!! Didn't get to do anything much.. spent most of my time playing online games sinfully and of course preparing for the incoming tormentous JC curriculum. Can't believe that I'm actually posting this article at 5.20am ? Been staying up since 1am wor... so tired ~ *yawn* Gotta turn in ' early ' ( in the dawn ) now... buaiis ~

My Lamentable O Lvl Results ~

Alrite.. I didn't perform within my expectations... ( reaching 10 points without getting tuition is an insurmountable task ). 15 pts is all I got. No prior attendance to whatsoever tuition centres. Well... I wasn't being insouciant about my O Levels.. I just wanted to try studying without getting any external assistance.. and it turned out to be quite satisfactory... b'cos I've improved 3 pts from my Prelims !! After contemplating for quite a while... I realised I had not actually put in 100% of my efforts.. I slacked quite a bit before the O levels... giving excuses of ' trying to relax from the constant studies '... LOL ! Here's my results:

Eng - C6
AM - A2
EM - A2
Chem - A2
Phys - A2
Comb. Humanities - B3
HMT - B4

Total L1R5 - 15 ( raw aggregate )
CCA - A1

It's quite commendable for a non-tuition patroner already.. lolx ! Must do way better when I start my term in TPJC... JIAYOU JIAYOU JIAYOU !

~* Let's officially initiate moi Blog ! *~

Here goes my first post... trying to keep it short and sweet and not sophiscated and soporific... lolx~ Gonna be more assiduous in my studies and try to maintain a positive attitude towards JC life... especially the forthcoming NS right after my A Lvls... urgh ! Ok.. that's it.. adios !
