I haven't blogged for the past 3 days. =(
And I am feeling slightly depressed. I have been keeping track of every post of my brother and Amy's blog and their posts seem so interesting...while I don't really have much to say.
Ah well, I will just do a recount of what happened from 28 Feb- 2 Mar.
28 Feb (Monday)
Went to school feeling very sian (that's what I have been feeling lately). I forgot that I had a test on the Tuesday and had totally forgotten to study for it. Since I only remembered about it on Monday morning, I knew that I had only one day to study, for History,which is totally not enough by my standards as history is one of my weaker subjects.
Found out I had 24 out of 40 for my Math test. Felt even worst. My usual results is high A1. I had English lesson after recess which was very enjoyable. My English teacher is quite young compared to the rest of my teachers and he is a cheerful guy(usually) who crack jokes in class. His teaching is still very good though. Since there was a inter-class debate competition on Tuesday, the four people representing my class did a mock debate during English lesson.
29 Feb. I mean 1 Mar.
Studied History during Chemistry period and totally did not pay attention in class. (I know I am not supposed to do so but History test is today!) Had the inter-class debate during English lesson. The motion was THBT censorship is not effective. My class totally got owned by the other class. They stumbled when the opponent did POI cause they did not know what POI was. =x.
Good news for the day: A2 in Higher Chinese. Highest I have gotten so far I think
Bad news: I screwed up my history test. Well, I totally expected to do so though.
2 Mar aka Today
My class did a retest in Maths test cause everybody screwed up badly in it. Only 4 people(including me) didn't need to. So the four of us went to the library. Played Chinese Chess and Reversi with two of them and won both too. Yeah! =)))
Had a talk about NE today. A Brigadier general came today to give the talk. It was something about the measures Singapore take to protect itself, how something about multicultarism. Slept through about half of it though. Luckily I did not get caught. =P
So this ends my post for today. Once again, it is very short. *Sigh*

ECP and Poker
I haven't blogged for 2 days -.- but never mind, this blog will be about what happened for these three days.
Thursday
Okay. Actually nothing much. Thursday is day a play soccer in school due to the fact that I have 2 half an hour recesses so I usually play soccer at that time. My physics teacher then moved his 1230 - 1330 period to 1330 - 1420 so I played soccer for another hour. Oh and since the previous day I played for about 3 hrs and had X-country (read my previous post =) ), my legs were totally sore.
Friday (which is yesterday)
CCA day again. Once again as part of the Secondary 4 Squad and not being and NCO and all, I went to East Coast Park (ECP) as it was a squad-initiated activity (as in one of our squad mate suggested it and it is not decided by the higher-ups). My CCA always end at 1800 so this was what happened.
1420 - Left to ECP from school
1540 - Reached Bedok MRT station/interchange and had lunch
1610 - Took 196 to ECP
1630 - Reached the bus stop which the bus uncle told us to alight at. "That way to ECP" he said.
1635 - Got lost
1640 - Was lost
1645 - Was lost
1650 - Finally reached ECP -.- and rented a bike at $6 for 2 hrs
1730 - Was dismissed
Okay, so you read about the part about getting lost. We were lost cause our NCOs didn't know the correct way and just followed the instructions of the bus uncle which led us to a dead end.
-.- once again.
But never mind. At least we got to cycle for 1.5 hrs.
Saturday (Today, actually yesterday as it is 0005 as I am typing this)
Had a class gathering today with about 8 of my classmates out of 22. -.- not even half... Went to this guy called Kun Siang's house from 1515 - 2230. We didn't really do much. Played Team Fortress 2 for the first hour, then played poker (with chips not real money) till 1800 before having a BBQ. It was real funny and we managed to push Kun Siang, the host into the pool beside the BBQ pit. We somewhat failed in our barbecuing though. We used too much charcoal at first and at the end, we were running out of it (only one bag of charcoal) so we couldn't finish cooking all the food but at least we did feel full. Returned to Kun Siang's house and played more poker before leaving at 2230.
All in all, it has been a fun three days. Sadly, as I can't take good photos with my phone, I can't post any pictures to make this post more interesting. But still.... never mind. So anyway, that's all for this post. BB.

Cross-country and CJC
Okay, so I didn't blog yesterday again.
Excuse: I was mugging for AMC10
Reason: I was too lazy.
Well, there wasn't much stuff for me to blog yesterday so I decided not to bother thinking up of one.
But today is different. Today was my school's x-country day and I was one of the six representing my class. However, only the top 4 runners' score in each class is counted towards the class results. My class totally got owned. I came in second for my class and there must been like 40 other people in my class. The top few rankings were mostly taken up the canoeists. But still that is to be expected. Mr Yong Yuen Cheng, the man who ran 218km around Singapore last year is my school's canoeist CCA teacher, so I bet they have been training their stamina.
Interestingly, my school's mascot appeared. My school's mascot is a tiger due to my school's values and the first letter from each value forms the word JTIGERR.
Joy
Teamwork
Integrity
Global Perspective
Excellence
Resilience
Respect
Sadly, I am not able to post a picture of it. =(
My AMC10 started at 3pm while my x-country ended at 10am. So I had to wait for like 5 hours and I spent about 3 hours of it playing soccer. =) Oh and if you want to try out past year papers of AMC10 and 12, here's the link
http://www.etsu.edu/coe/uschool/facstaff/wells/amc/AMC.htm.
And since my parents had to go to my brother's school, for some parent-teacher meeting or some talk today, I went to CJC for the first time. I really felt like a fish out of water since I was still in my school's attire. And I while my brother and I were at the tables next to the grand stand (My brother was doing homework). The resident cat came over. And like what Amy said, it really is very cute and it totally wasn't scared of humans.
My brother should be posting some photos of it soon. Anyway, we stayed for 2 hours I think and we left CJC at 9pm.
Yeah. So that's all for today. =P

Something dumb happened today
Okay. I missed one day of blogging. Reason was that I was mugging for IHC test so I decided to not post for one day (which totally doesn't matter cause I only started blogging 2 days ago).
So, first thing I am going to talk about - my brother read my blog and said it was boring. =( Well, I have got to admit. It is. My first blog only talked about what I did and it was so monotonous. I mean look at the two blogs I follow. Amy's blog is humourous and her posts never fails to make me laugh. On the other hand, my brother's blog is slightly intellectually oriented and he is able to make ordinary things interesting. I have got to try and learn to be like them.
Well, you have read the title before reading the this post I hope cause that's what I am going to talk about now. Its started as a prank but the person on which the prank was on overreacted (in my opinion). I will just state their initials and avoid their real name.
Okay, so this two guys MN and KS have been doing pranks each other for over a year, like pouring water down the shirt and stuff like that. My class was having afternoon lessons from 2.20pm to 3.20pm so lunch period was at 1.30pm to 2.20pm. So KS was at the canteen having lunch and MN decided to flip KS' pencil case inside out. As you know, the inside of a pencil case looks very rough (sorry to pictures to show). When KS came back to class, he thought that MN had skinned the pencil case (KS didn't really used his brains. I mean the zipper would have been upside down =|) and they started quarreling. So MN squirted a little water at KS (the kind of bottle where you can squirt a little water only). Coincidentally, they were standing at a table of a classmate who likes to drink coffee and there was a cup of coffee on that guy's table. So, KS took the cup of coffee and fling it at MN (the argument didn't even looked very serious...). And as luck would have it, my back was facing them at that time and I totally didn't the coffee was coming until I felt it on my back.
So, six other people also got stained by the coffee but I was the worst off cause I didn't even tried to dodge it. Sigh. The stupidity of it all. Luckily, there was PE today I had brought my PE attire. I spent the next 20 minutes of my lunch washing my entire shirt AND long pants. Sigh again.
Well, so that's it. I hope this is more interesting than my previous post.

Starting again
It has been quite a while since I lasted blogged and I am starting again due to the influence of my brother. I don't really like to blog as I feel I have a poor command of English and I never feel good introducing myself to strangers but never mind about that. I have decided to blog again to improve my writing.
So, well, since today is a Saturday, I didn't really do much today except stay at home so lets talk about what happen yesterday. This week and next week is when my tests are on so I am really trying to mug for them but I don't really like to memorise stuff (which is the reason why I do better for Maths and Physics). Had a chemistry test yesterday which I think I will get an A1 for and I am having a IHC (Integrated Humanities (Core) or known as Social Studies in most secondary schools) on Monday. I going to do badly for it. Its one of the subject which you really have to memorise for.
Yesterday was a Friday which is a CCA day for secondary schools (I think) and as my CCA is NPCC. As I am a Sec 4 this year, there is not much drill trainings for my squad this year anymore as we have completed the syllabus. I am only a Sergeant (sadly) with only one more promotion test to go this year. As I said, there aren't much training anymore so we had a career talk about being an air force pilot(it seemed more like a recruitment drive). Two guys came, one from Singapore Youth Flying Club (SYFC) and one from the Air Force. The guy from SYFC came to talk about how the CCA could help us if we wanted to be a pilot. Sadly, I doubt I will be able to become one.
