A confused mugger

dang. just when i got happy that the perf tasks were all over for this term, dirty baby gave out the physics perf task today>< studying=")">< I spent the whole of tonight studying the atomic structure for chem and now going on to bonding, so this post shan't be long. To everyone mugging away for the evil EOIs..jiayou! Grr..i wonder why they started having mid-years when all along we didn't have them. =(

Hms. anyone know why are some isotopes unstable? And i am still chao confused about the formation of tropical cyclones too=S

The year dp=)

Haha..just testing out Hello to upload pictures on blogs..doesn't our year dp rock totally?

sometimes i really hope that i can manage my emotions better, or at least understand them. Why don't i even know what i am feeling?? Realised that yesterday when someone asked me whether i ever had feelings for somebody. That's when i seriously thought abt it. however, it was a no. or at least i think it is a no. My emotions are in a mess now. Argh.

Okay. this doesn't make sense. nvm. ciaos.




Argh. ignore me, i am not in a right state of mind.






Finally finished maths pt!!!!!! Whee!! NO MORE PTS! at least for this term. HAH=)

You May Be a Bit Borderline ...

Your mood swings make a roller coaster look tame! When you're up, you're a little bit crazy... And when you're down, your whole world is crashing Scary thing is, these moods can change by the minute!

What Personality Disorder Are You?

from tian' blog
hm..how very true=)

finally a break! and some time to blog=)

They have been piling us with loads and loads of performance tasks lately: 2 geog, bio, math, ss all in this month. And all of them require an individual report! It's so different from last year whereby most performance tasks are really fun group work=) Realised the day before submission of each of the performance tasks is always very bad. i always chiong like siao! and stay up till like 4-5am? Think it's due to my low efficiency level. Stuff that bibi took like an hour to do took me erm 5 hours? bleargh. And i guess all those late nights(or should i say early mornings) have caused me headaches that last for more than a week=( So people, don't stay up late to do stuff!

I think this has affected almost the entire class since everyone looks so tired nowadays and falls sick more easily (a lot of pple down with flu, fever and headaches). Quote from Vanessa: "We used to ask what time do the rest sleep but now it's more like 'did you even sleep?'" I think trip sci geog classes are most badly affected with the 2 geog pts and bio pt. History and lit don't even have pts! UNFAIR.We reflected this to the form teacher yesterday and it sort of helped=) She's much nicer than i originally thought.

I guess this situation are common in top schools..normal schools don't even have projects lah!

Napfa test is coming soon.. must train up yearmates and juniors by increasing a round every week for pt. *nods* Today we were made to run two rounds and i decided to take it seriously for once and run. I think my stamina deproved a lot a lot, practically dying after the second round>< Must take warm up runs seriously from now on. And my sit and reach..arghh..doubt i can even get a c this year. Seriously can't stretch! I hate sit and reach, the section that has prevented me from getting straight As for 2 years. bleargh.

Softball is really fun!!! Much nicer than touch rugby i think=)

Oh yeahh..i just realised that the fd badge is very misleading. The figure saluting is actually slanted! I realised that when i was pinning my badge making sure the picture is straight then i found out that the words are slanted. =) Oh yar. and the person on the badge didn't salute properly, not 90 degrees. -tsktsk-

Okay. gotta go do maths pt. bye!

ESFJ-The Provider You scored 54% I to E, 73% N to S, 28% F to T, and 21% J to P!

Providers, a subgroup of the Guardians, take it upon themselves to arrange for the health and welfare of those in their care, as well as being quite sociable. Wherever they go, Providers take up the role of social contributor, happily giving their time and energy to make sure that the needs of others are met, that traditions are supported and developed, and that social functions are a success. Providers are extremely sensitive to the feelings of others, which makes them perhaps the most sympathetic of all the types, but which also leaves them rather self-conscious, that is, highly sensitive to what others think of them. Because of this Providers can be crushed by personal criticism, and will work most effectively when given ample appreciation both for themselves personally and for the service they give to others. This is not to say that Providers are afraid to express their own emotional reactions. They are quick to like and dislike梐nd don抰 mind saying so梩ending to put on a pedestal whatever or whoever they admire, and to come down hard on those people and issues they don抰 care for. You share your type with 10% of the population. As a romantic partner, you work hard to nuture and protect your relationships. You go to great lengths to maintain harmony and are motivated to resolve conflicts. You have a very clear idea of what is important to you and do best when your partner shares those same values. You want your partner to be loving, commited, and willing to support your frequently overwelming feelings and reactions. You feel most appreciated when your partner is kind, considerate, and helpful, and compliments you often on your hard work in their behalf. Your group summary: Guardians (SJ) Your Type Summary: ESFJ

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 69% on I to E You scored higher than 89% on N to S You scored higher than 19% on F to T You scored higher than 11% on J to P

i don't feel like blogging anymore..but since jiening pleaded..=)
i really miss pngteh a lot.. a lot. In this class, i feel closer to everyone as a whole but no real group of people that i am especially close with. Whereas last year, i was more distant with the classmates but chao close with pngteh. I really miss the times where we do performance tasks at my house=( Now, all the tasks seem to be group research and individual report, no chances for gatherings=( heh..but really looking forward to monday where pngteh is coming! Breakfast at my house where all of us are going to bring different food (xinge is baking her fruit tarts and cream puffs!!) Then, we're going to shop (don't see how to since shopping centre not open yet)

today we had our last rugby lesson..and our team rocked! (jo, xue, fiona, iris, charlene and me) We played 3 games and the scores are 0-0, 0-0 and guess what? YES 0-0. Even the pe teacher was quite impressed that we kept ahem drawing the games no matter how high the standard of the opponent team is;)

Then, xue got "pregnant", followed by jo. (by stuffing the star stuffed toy into the pinafold. xue tried to smuggle the stuffed toy into the hall during assembly that way but the bulge was too big and she refused to give the reason that she's pregnant. haha. then some commotion over whose baby jo was carrying..sth abt baby looking like a starfish which looks like -censored- ahem. shan't elaborate.

Then after RS somehow all of us started singing the twisted deck the halls song:
Fill the school with kerosene, hualalalalalalalala
Light a match and throw it in, hualalalalalalalala
Watch the teachers burn to ashes, hualalalalalalalala
Now you know how to play with matches hualalalalalalalala!

Reminds me of syf days..

Oh yay!! We got into the UK trip!=)

i <3 mint ice cream. especially the king's brand one. The one that ning treated me at toa payoh tasted really horrible though, like toothpaste. Urrgh.

Baked chocolate eclairs on Tuesday. xue and i were the most efficient, we did everything the fastest but as a result, our eclairs were burnt as the timing given by the teacher was wrong. Ning,hung, me and xue redid but this time xue and mine's turned out flat. >.<

okay, gotta chiong geog. bye.

"setting an example isn't the main mean of influencing others, it's the only mean"








grrr...i really really hate you.. like what type of shitty reason is that lor!
AHHHHHHHH-kabish.

heh..april fools yesterday.
We tied the door deco (hanging chicks) to the door handle so when the teacher opens the door, the deco fell on them. (worked for slatter and pang)
Then, we adjusted the clock half and hour later and managed to trick pang into releasing us earlier..:
Nicole: Ms Pang, do you know that the bell rang 10 minutes ago?
Pang: -looks at clock- oops. sorry , thank you class!
We also switched off the lights and everyone sat on the table in a meditating position facing the back of class and started mumbling stuff when pang entered.
Planned to everyone fall asleep in the middle of pang's class but decided not to 'cause it seemed quite mean to her. heh
yepyep..so that's all our april fool's day..
other classes seem even more fun with switching of classes, giving oreos with toothpaste, hiding under the table and grabbing teacher's legs etc. (pls refer to jiening's blog for more details on the mischievous acts) but some classes got into trouble when the teacher didn't find the trick extremely amusing. oops.
haish..later today still have workshop for the entire day and i only researched a teeny weeny bit of social studies. dead.

ss perf task. bio perf task. geog perf task. maths perf task. physics perf task.

did i ever mention to you blogpatrol.com rocks?
haha..basically it is able to track the visitors that come to your blog, like how many different people in a specific day.
I realised that the number of visitors always rise from about 13 to 35 after training camps, enrolment camps etc. Interesting eh?
And something else, they show you those sites that link you. I managed to find out that one of my pri 1 ex-classmate linked me in her blog from there. =)
Also, it lists out the searches in search engines that links to your blog. Example of this for my blog:

Top 25 Keywords:

"liqi" (Yahoo) 1

fallen classmates (Yahoo) 1

i think i'm fallen (Yahoo) 1

rgs ms wu (Yahoo) 1

rgsrcy (Google) 1

why did sommore go to jail (Yahoo) 1


So i guess these are the things that pple search for that led to my blog haha. (liqi, did you search for yrself in yahoo search or sth..)

Isn't this interesting? Haha..
