am really feeling quite ill today. my nose is running like water (literally). i think i must have sprung a leak somewhere *looks around*

looking back on today and yesterday, i must say im going to be really busy.

first up is lunwen. it is getting urgent. 4 days left to settle it. and i have clay shooting on satuday!! oh no its going to leave me less time. hope i dont have much corrections to do or else i gg liao >.<

then theres csc. i researched abit. but i dont think i can make it unless i pia like crazy tmr. today really cannot take it. seriously super sick already! tmr still got swimming.

at least i've almost finished 10B. though i havent started on equilibrium at all yet. DIE i hope there's no chem tutorial tmr >.< too scared to check. hope chem lab does not -> chem tutorial.

it seems that my cold will appear to subside after eating. the heavier the meal the longer the lapse. then its back to sick mode again. ARRGH.

go sleep. go sleep. pack my swimming stuff first. omg la 8pm sleep >.< i waste alot of time already. tmr better do something!

i am not afraid to say that i blog religiously. it just feels right to be talking about what happened in school today, write down all my thoughts. there's no reason for it. i think. but it just feels right this way ^^ i guess it's worked its way into my schedule so much so like its how i just grab my school badge and chinese soc badge on the way out of the house and wear. habits you know.

okay for some random thoughts of the day. at the start of the year, i kinda knew that we already have 2 councillors in our pw group. but then, looking back, i think i failed to realise that people with 5 cca are..well. quite busy. (understatement!) aw. i think i will kop my brother's wr and have a look. and please please help me do my survey ^^ if you haven't done so already. thanks!

saw liuq today. haha haven't seen her since the start of the year since she went for maternity leave. apparently the whole chinese department (or whats left of it) has moved to the old art block. first level. its now so empty.. feels weird without all the strange sculptures around somehow. haha. but anyway the rooms are quite nice now (though i only went into 2: the new 'staff rm' and some rm where theres alot of co instruments). main point: i have to edit my lunwen again. damn i think i threw it into the recycle bin already leh. >.< dont tell me im going to type everything out again?! argh.

asides from that, i promised myself that i have to do csc essay today. then there's math 10B by tmr. and chem equilibrium. haha though i found out its actually quite productive (in a negative sense. dont do this. most of the time that is.) to procrastinate! 'cause apparently there are some questions which are..not appropriate. hahaha ^^

geeh i wish i had a set of longer headphones... the only one with proper length has only one side working. darn! so im using the one meant for my father's n95 haha. super short la! thats why i have to wear my jacket when im using it. if not i have to hold it in my hand all the way. looks very strange. at least it looks more normal from the outside. though i think im perhaps damaging my headphones >.<

jason stop bugging me im trying to blog -.-

oh. suddenly notice its 5pm already. and i think i'd better edit pw more.

so things to do in total (in order of priority)

1. csc essay (though its not urgently due, im going to be damn busy for the rest of the week. if not now, its never!)

2. math assignment 10B (if i manage to finish my csc i can do abit more. since its not really very difficult, and mrs tam is going through it tmr)

3. PW edits. (im supposed to have done it, but i think i can do abit more. have to pick up the pace if i dont want our grp to lag behind!)

4. lunwen corrections (due by 4/8. 1 week to work it out. should be quite okay... i hope. hopefully it doesnt crash my schedule up too much.)

and i guess thats about it for today. but i really feel like playing a while..

okay until 5.30 pm. then its work time! haha shan't waste any more time~

was banned from my comp ytd. to study for physics. but it apparently didnt do much good.. considering that i think my performance today was really bad. aww.

at least i did some work in school today.. so i can afford to be lethargic and tired for a while. oh and did i say i was supposed to finish the lesson plans by tonite? i'd better get cracking. don't want to be unreliable.

nor do i want to make promises i can't keep. and break promises i make. though it can probably be argued that promises are meant to be broken rather than kept.

off to keep my promises. short post today.

.:Edit:. ARRGH i have discovered to my horror that i still need to work on my lunwen. JUST WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS OVER! as if one wasn't enough >.<

omg how could 太王end like this?! oh man i actually feel quite disapppointed at the ending. it seems too rushed..

more importantly they didnt explain what happened after that!! now i have no idea what happed to qihe, xiuzhini, zhuwuzhi etc. these ppl D: only that tande went back heaven. sigh.

not to mention tande killed that火天会的大长老so quickly. just used his bow to pulverise him. shouldn't there be more drama?! extend it a few more episodes if need be la! haha. and i dont believe how easily he broke is 天弓>.< just bend, and *snap* it breaks. just like a chocolate bar. ARRRGH.

but it was still a good show. it wasn't that bad an ending.. just that it leaves quite a bit to be desired.

perhaps they'll have a special episode after this ^^ just like 大长今did, where they put all the actors and actresses together. and please explain what happened!! dont tell me dafei is going to become widow x2... that'll be too sad for her rite. though i guess probably all of them died cos of what the jumu chief said. once that bow is wrecked, all of them should die.. right? but neither xiuzhini nor qihe suffered from spasms like the other totem masters what. i think tande got off easy though. just walk into the beam of light and it's end of the line for him. ah well. nothing more to look forward to on saturdays and sundays >.< 神经侠侣... when i become 神经 then i think i might go watch that haha.

10.30. sian tmr have to study for physics. AND I STILL HAVENT DONE CSC >.< omg la omg! i guess i'd better make it somehow. 麻烦!

YiRen penned this at 10:26 PM

its so ironic how the human heart works. we try so hard to be accepted by the general community try so hard to become one with the group. then again, deep inside, most people want to stand out form the common rabble, to distinguish yourself from the rest. arrgh this is so confusing.

its getting increasingly difficult to try and stay happy every day now. it seems so much easier to put on a dao face and go around living. but still, life isn't about making all the easy choices right. sometimes i think i make things difficult for myself on purpose haha.

even though this is a blog and im supposed to be able to vent all my thoughts out, i still cant, unfortunately. because this is public. one of the benefits of keeping a diary and not a blog. i guess my house environment is not really conducive towards studying. not at all. and i havent started on csc despite what i said last night. >.<

so much so much to do.

it would be good if my leg could stop hurting.

it would be even better if i can start work.


promised myself that i would complete, if not at least start on my csc essay today. looking back, its already been 5 hours since i came home... nothing productive done.

though life shouldn't be all about work and mugging and more work... at the moment that's all there appears to be. right now, my most enjoyable hobby is sleeping... nth to worry about at all when sleeping. so relaxing. that's what sleep is supposed to be like, right?

i just hope i haven't bitten off more than i can chew... and i certainly dont think my expectations are too high for myself. after all, who should know me better than myself? though i don't doubt that some people out there know something i dont about myself.. haha. since i dont carry a mirror around everyday.

i think if one were to carry a mirror that mirrored your inner soul, you can be a much better person ^^ considering you can see everything about yourself, the good and the bad. such that you know where to improve, where to keep it up. but life isn't that easy is it? there are no hacks or cheats to get you through this journey.

my friend once mentioned in his blog post that blog posts, should naturally have blog titles. i think he reasoned that it would help give your post direction, help inform the reader about what you are about to write. but then, i feel that doing so limits your creativity to write by so much. i mean, if you were to title your post "an interesting day", readers will naturally expect your post to be about your interesting day, right? but then, where's the fun in that? i kinda feel its rather restricting. which is why my posts never have titles. open to disagreement and debate. haha.

feel so sore. so tired. nobody wants to have a horrid time studying i guess. everyone wants to be having fun, having a good time.. unfortunately that isn't really possible. honeymoon period for all of us was over once we passed P3, ages ago. its time to get older, to get more mature, to face all of life's problems. after all, life hasn't even started yet. still got a long long way to go. no way can i get bored now right. haha.

ouch my leg hurts like crazy >.< i can't even move around properly.

hope it'll loosen up when i sleep later.

arrgh i feel i dont feel like myself today.. i have no idea why. i feel so restless and bored. and im suffering from an even greater lack of motivation.

my fingertips and left foot have this strange tingling sensation. it doesn't feel good at all.

well tmr is half day ^^ then imma going to try to finish my csc essay so that i have time to study for physics.

after chemical clock today we went to play with the low wall. haha found out that the scenery was actually quite good. hwachong is really quite beautiful you know. :)

tmr is spa... hope that i will be able to complete my spa this time round haha. must...plot...graphs. andd i'll be sure to at least scribble in some comments.

damn i really hate oscillation physics experiments. they're so unreliable. i wonder how chemistry (reaction kinetics) will be like. looks interesting ^^ involves burning i see. but i bet its super troublesome too. haix.

my insecurities are catching up with me i think. i dont feel so confident anymore >.<> ego haha. i hope i can find that brash arrogance again. unless im a better person this way, of course. or have i changed at all? i wonder.

omg im astounded once again at the amount of work i have to do.

but im even more astounded at my ability to procrastinate and create a false sense of calmness that there's absolutely nothing wrong.

omg la there's still totally no sense of urgency?! wth lar >.<

i donno what to do anymore.. i feel so lost haha

but i must still try to focus. 先苦后甜right? but my house environment is not exactly conducive for learning...

thats it. i'm going downstairs to do work every day from now on. i am not going to flunk my promos!

oh of course must leave time for pw haha >.<

can't wait for yichen anymore. since our schedules are so radically different.. i don't want to waste his time and my time.

somemore got scripting classes.. time is very short! huat ah!

ugh today i feel so lost. no sense of direction whatsoever. no motivation to do ANYTHING at all that requires even the slightest of brain activity. so im doing the typing of sources now. at least typing is a mindless menial job.

and then, note to self. BAN TSE AN FROM DRAWING. holy lar. i bet the amount of ink he used must have indirectly led to global warming in some way or another. hopefully it didnt soak through all the pages. and what the heck has the bookshop auntie got to do with me!? super random haha.

aw man i shouldnt have laughed at his rendition using pink highlighter and massive shading on *ahem* someone's book in his 'artist's impression' of that same someone. now im getting my retribution. hell la. is that a person?! >.<

after typing these random stuff i somehow feel more focused. slightly at least. i will not curse and swear at stupid survey providers. no i will not. self control!

yawn i want to sleep. but its only tuesday! at least friday is halfday... but there's 3 tests next week >.< 2 need mug 1 dont need (chem, phy, gp. take your guess.) arrrgh. and there's pw too. TMR STILL GOT SCRIPTWRITING CLASS. must rmb must rmb. later i forget and go home i will totally get screwed la haha.

pw pw pw. shall go back to type after ranting. grr.

and domo kun is sooo cute <3

ahaha today was quite a good day in general ^^ im feeling rather up today haha.

cause the weather's so nice for sleeping. btw i am burying the chem clock formulas deeper under loads of thoughts today. i shall ensure this post is sufficiently long! haha.

and don't *stares* me. haha.

as students right, our first priority should be to learn. so it shouldn't be a surprise that a student's blog is naturally, about learning (read: mugging) first. so anyway:

on friday is physics spa. now that's seriously worrying. i totally bet that i'm not going to be able to complete. my graphing is going to take forever, seriously.

but chem clock on thurs will be fun ^^ must...break...30... oscillations...

i'm still hopeful that we can get our halfday this week. NOT on friday though. otherwise it'll be totally wasted since we have to go back for spa >.<

oh oh and scriptwriting classes start on wed! and i haven't even updated my script. so lets now see what yiren has on his menu tonight:

1. PW WR chapter 1 (disclaimer: first on list does not necessarily mean first priority ^^)
2. chemistry tutorial: reaction kinetics (mr teo told me to plot all the graphs ): so i must comply)
3. CSC assignment (this simply means taking off like an hour or two to go online and start copying off the web)
4. helping lijie with lesson plan.
5. script writing (needs fleshing out)

and i guess thats about it. though i can probably think of quite a few more if i put my mind to it. something like:

6. WolfTeam
7. GTA: SA
8. etc.

ah man i don't think there's any need to type any more. shall not waste any more time. seize the day!

start gaming now. punish self by doing work later. ^^

.:Edit:. AHH my bag finally spoil D: guess it couldn't take the strain any longer. time to go shopping again ^^ mustn't overburden my bag next time haha.

but my drawer is spammed full of stuff already..

i shall kop a box from photocopying shop tmr to store my csc stuff. settled ^^

now i'd better do my chem. so that i will have time to work on pw later. must rush!

ARRGH i can't believe they killed off 史亮ytd!! omg lar. he's like the coolest guy around >.< even more so than tande or whoever. damn it. grr.

ahhh im addicted to playing mafia on facebook. you know, murderer? the one you play at camps and everything. with a gm or something. well there are alot of other names.. like polar bear (was it?) etc. hahaha online is damn fun lolx ^^ though its quite slow sometimes.

so go get facebook and play mafia! har har har. hi-five. har gao. xD

quite a curious dream last night...i can only remember shards of it but it goes something like this:

found myself in this huge underground hardware store full of stuff..like tools and wooden planks and everything. hopelessly looking for something. but ican't remember what i was looking for, why i was looking for it. other than the fact that i couldn't find it. hmm...

ytd was feeling very confused.. but was told to turn off the comp before i could get anything posted up. so i slept early (10) and so here i am. haha. on the day when (supposedly) the world revolves around you (according to garfield) haha.

har har har. hi-five. har gao. XD

must....resist...temptation to type in [openbrackets]... haha dont want to spoil your eyes with no spacing whatsoever and paragraphing.

thanks yuhan and chensi ^^ more calories to add to my collection bwahahaha. word's can't express my gratitude. so i dedicate this short paragraph to chocolate lovers. aw ice cream would melt, wouldn't it? ):

and that reminds me my stock of food is getting too much to bear. arrrgh. must not finish it all in one day >.<>.<>.< but anyway, i'll give you a hint here ^^ hope its useful:

*slow rate determining step* hydrogen peroxide is responsible for turning KIO3 into I3 (don't ask me how i know or to prove it... i don't know. it just...works. haha) hence, the more hydrogen peroxide you add, the faster the solution changes from colourless to brown to purple.

*consuming step* after your I3 has formed a complex with the starch to give a dark blue-black solution, the malonic acid does SOMETHING to make it change back to something else. which isn't I3 so that there isn't a complex formed, and thus the blue black disappears. tada!

and this cycle carries on. the KIO3 is reused (i think) so there's really no need to add too much. but the reaction slows down after speeding up halfway through because the malonic acid and hydrogen peroxide gets consumed to form...not hydrogen peroxide and malonic acid ^^ haha i'm not clear on the details but yeah.

so technically you go find the ratio yourself through testing (no, there's no free model concentration here. you go find your own ^^) and then you combine it with testing for optimum amount of catalyst and there you have it! you should easily be able to break 15 or more this way. hope it helps ^^

so if it does, buy me a drink (or icecream) (: or tag. and say thank you. hahaha. i have an ego to inflate and arrogance to build!

yup. that's about it. and don't go asking for concentrations. (that means you, jason!)[Edit: and tse an too!] where's the fun in that if you didn't do it yourself. haha.

and i only broke 20 just for your information. so i'm not all that strong. damn. though i bet i could have done more with additional testing *deceives self once more*

haha jy all! its friday tmr! last day of the week~ woohoo!

as i said.. very tired ):

not enough sleep? perhaps. since that's relative to the person. and i require alot of sleep. seriously alot. hahaha

current marks: BCDES. hopefully can get an A for PW to make up a royal flush ^^ haha so jy!

nth much to talk about actually, since my brain is dead tired. time for some mindless gaming then. EVEN though i've done so badly. kao lar. >.<

jyjy everyone. and i notice the sky outside is so blue, the trees so green, the clouds so white. omg perfect weather la. i wanna take a picture (:

gaack i'm not feeling too good ):

went to malaysia at 10 in the mroning. came back at 5, slept till 7, and here i am.

well its an experience nevertheless. i always seem to get new insights when going there. so i shall pen down these insights so i won't forget them ^^

the skies are really different over there... in singapore there are always so many tall buildings to obstruct the view. i never really get to see the sky in its entirety cause of all the trees, buildings etc. its totally different there: its almost like theres nothing tall for kilometers around. even though its just a short hop away from singapore.

then i thought about the people i brushed past on the trip. by tmr they'll probably all be wiped from my mind. how they looked like, all the impressions. all gone. and i won't even realise that they're missing. thats so sad. but just like me, they'll probably also forget i even existed.

...

that sounds so melancholy. but im tired. shall sleep ^^

i added a new bg song! ^^

got it after alton tipped me off haha. can't fight the moonlight. bwahaha thats about the limit i can go. my mind is so blank these days.

nevertheless i shall try to write a meaningful post anyway (:

so it was swimming today. haha and the teacher was super hiong la. say what learn butterfly in 30 min? but really. strong sia. hiong teachers rock! since i *cough*learnt the basics after all. even though it left me feeling quite breathless at the end of it all. i'm not emo-ing la. its just that i haven't swam for so long... needs time to get accustomed.

oh yeah and i managed to complete EOM ^^ so here's my plans for the next few days:

today: complete lunwen and send to xy

tmr: contact the nus prof. to ask for an interview.. hope he accepts. im quite optimistic about that though (:

tmr tmr: is it gems? i think it is. naturally i hope i dont burn the cc down. since i'm the type who burns water. haha

tmr tmr tmr: finish 9C by then. means that i need to put in constant effort.

CONSTANT VIGILANCE!

haha just felt like putting that in for the sake of randomness ^^

oh yay a reasonably long post today. hopefully it's provided you, the reader with...well...something. be it waste your time or entertainment or attaining nirvana.. whatever. just hope you took something away ^^

turning 17 soon...then it'll be 18 soon after that! another milestone in life approaches (: hehe.

damn i feel so trapped today. and its quite unpleasant ):

its like i feel so tired i want to close my eyes and go to sleep; but then i think about all the stuff i have to do... so i have to keep going.

then though i feel so warm on the outside that i have to sit in front of the fan to keep cool; but my extremities and core feel so cold..

though its only three in the afternoon, it's already so dark out there. not a good day in general ):

but im still kinda hopeful (in a sad kind of way) that tmr, and then subsequent days will be better.

perhaps its because the high-ness of 会庆has worn off... 振作点!must finish lunwen and pw and not be a burden ^^ so jyjy!

YiRen penned this at 2:45 PM

Friday, July 4, 2008

i feel obliged to blog. since i'm not doing my lunwen anyway.

i've done some research, hopefully it will be enough to cover for my part.

thus, this obviously shows that i need to do a lot more research for it to actually help me in writing my part.

damn, i've hardly been blogging recently. feeling so weary and tired. sigh.and i'll be out for the whole of tmr. 会庆 you know.

that just leaves sunday. and im supposed to finish by today or go home tmr and type out my lunwen in a weary, beaten state.

not the best of scenarios.

i guess excuses don't matter. since everyone has 24 hours a day. that divine power is fair to all yeah? so naturally what comes out of how you use your time is your fault, and yours alone.

its kinda turning into a disaster for me.

if i want to promote sucessfully (damn, back to a mugging topic) i'd better start working hard. since i completely cannot understand SHM.

i'm not going to make the same mistake of starting late.but im so tired! ahhh. i hope i will have the motivation to keep going after 会庆 is over. please.

however, i think i'm moving in the right direction ^^ i feel so much better, ironically after barely passing all my blocks. i feel more confident in myself too. haha this is kinda a good way to go. jy yiren! lets hope i can be the guy i want to be inside (:

since there's no point in aiming to be someone else, as you can never be the same; i'll just forge an image that i can be. haha i'll get there! though its going to be pretty tiring. i want to win! ^^

sigh. havent been blogging for so long. too much has been happening.

kayaking. burnt black (red is more accurate though) and its given me a permanent "blush". btw touching / patting / other more violent actions against yiren's arms, neck, and face is strongly forbidden. lest i bloody you back :D

so we paddled. and paddled. and thats about it ^^

considering i'd already taken the 1-star course. i took it again. 2 certs now haha.

i suppose i could rent a kayak for $8 for 4 hours. well, it'll be better than lanning anyway. but its so ulu lar. >.<

no time anymore. since blocks are coming back tmr! no doubt i will sweep the U's and help push the rest of the cohort up by cushioning the bottom position for them ^^

then there's lunwen.

then there's pw.

then there's promos.

the stuff just keeps coming!

but bring it! i'll be ready next time. haha.
