A levels 2007

Life battles don't always go to the stronger and faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.



This is a Life Battle. Believe it! Take a deep breathe, don't panic. Stay calm, recall all your facts, formulae, principles and laws. Don't forget them, cause it never fails to result in my downfall.


Good luck. 30 Oct 2007 till 20 Nov 2007, its my fight.

And i'm gonna win it.

Farewell Concert + Star Awards 2007

Today was the last official day of school where we are to report by 7.25. Sure its not the last day which we wear the uniform, but there were a lot of sentimental feelings that go with this special day. Anyhow that's not the bulk of this post. The sentimental part can come later, hopefully with some photos...


The first part of the day was of course morning assembly at the Temasek Square. (Actually its interesting to note that most JC has many venues to names that are amusing or unique such as photocopying shop Zap! and the squash courts are called Leadership Centre, though most special TJ venues are under utilised like Innospace) Most year 2s arent paying attention, not that anyone will care on the last day of school.



Next we went for a talk by Mrs Loke and Mr Tong. Mrs Loke touched on the core values of TJ and the compass points etc etc. I wouldn't be surprised if most people weren't listening. But i noted 2 points from her talk. Firstly she came into TJ at the same time as my batch. So we're her first graduating batch fresh with her. Secondly, i like her most emphasized quote. This quote was by Helen Keller, whom was my most similar character during my secondary school personality report. The quote goes "I am only one, but i am still one. I cannot do everything, but i can still do something. I will not refuse to do that something i can do". I graduated from Xinmin strongly believing in this quote. (then again i have quite forgotten it until Mrs Loke mentioned it today, oops)


Mr Tong's talk was more enriching, i didnt know some of the examination procedure he mentioned such as what if floods occur and we cannot proceed to TJ for examination. The one quote i will surely remember from TJ was given by Mr Tong during 1st Orientation 2006. He was giving a quiz to gain points for the orientation competition and so ask us "which 10 two-lettered words are the most important words in English?" Guess?






If it is to be, it is up to me.



I kinda like this quote. Then he showed us this video http://www.212movie.com/ If you're taking an examination or something, you should watch it. Its quite nice.



Mrs Loke giving her last cohort meeting speech


Next was Civics lesson. Mr Lim KK gave us some encouragement and gifts for those who improved a lot. Then Mrs Beetsma came in to give us our sample SGC and results slip. I shall refrain from commenting on my results though. Then Mrs Beetsma said she'll treat us to a drink. She does that often especially if we did well for examinations as a class (which is like, everytime?)



When we reached the canteen, we saw a black bus driving into the canteen. Here's the fun part. It says Star Search 2007 on the bus, but later Sue Chee told me its Star Awards. Oops, i didnt know any celebrity, but not that i cared. The interesting fact is how TJCians reacted when they saw the bus. They went crazy, first girls, then the guys too, and the manager had to keep telling us to keep quiet and stop taking photos if not they'll have to leave immediately. Now thats some cocky attitude. Like what my friend said, when gals meet their idols, they go wild. Really wild. Its only natural for them to be like that, as much as i would like to declare TJ an institution of distinction but its human nature you know? Anyhow here are some photos.


Guess what? The door of the bus got stuck! They can't come out. TJCians looking at them as if they are in an enclosure...




Basically i couldnt take a shot of the celebrities' faces cause too many people were crowding near the bus. Look carefully at the last photo, when the bus driver opened the windows, TJCians actually put the camera INTO the bus to take some photos. Incredible, this thing call fan power. There was also one guy who sat on another guy's back in the midst of the chaos. I'm sure many people were late for class and the farewell concert.

Then was the farewell concert. It was cool. Not bad. Touching to see Mrs Tag sobbing away. Just don't know if its real or she's having a flu. The maths conditions stuff are cool too. Eg. we were placed under a common denominator (TJC), tutors were there to help us take absolute values of everything passion drive purpose, integrate knowledge and other stuff to get higher powers of them, and a lot of other crazy stuff. Chemistry department were funny too. Physics department mainly put quotes. GP department was quite funny too. Guess what my GP tutor wrote on his slide.

Bye bye.

Infer the author's tone and purpose from the above sentence (or something like that).

Quite funny.

Then there was this video of photos of what my batch did. It was quite nice, though i only appeared once. Not bad already though.

Then another funny part came in. The star awards 2007 people came to interrupt. I had a better idea of how things work in the media industry. First the emcee came in to ensure that we were enthu and spontaneous. She tested us and dared us to cheer loudly. We did the TJ cheer and she was quite impressed. But when the celebrities come in... lol, the volume was on a whole different level.

Soon after, the concert ended. And that's that. Back to mugging. And the emcee's last sentence was "ok thats all JC2s, erm, you guys are dismissed, you all can go study or something." LOL.

Core Values

Did i mention before that i may join the police force? My friends say that i have the moral values for it. I guess i do. The scholarship sure looks enticing, but then again its a dream too far away. I did some checks and research about the Singapore Police Force (SPF). Quite interesting.


Some forum says that its wise for pre-enlistees to know the 7 Core Values of Singapore Armed Forces. So i guess i'll try to remember it.

SAF 7 Core Values
Loyalty to country
Leadership
Discipline
Professionalism
Fighting spirit
Ethics
Care for soldiers
(Hidden Core Value: Just don't get caught)

SPF 4 Core Values
Courage
Loyalty
Integrity
Fairness

Enlisting

So one fine day, my classmates came bursting into the tutorial room blabbering about enlistment dates. Before i know what was happening, Edwin was saying "i help you check" and i "blurly" said ok. After 1 min of stunness, i knew my enlistment date. Later that day, i receive the enlistment letter from CMPB.


Yup. 11 Jan 2008 11.30am Basic Military Training Centre School 1.

Settle anything you want with me before then. Cause after that, i'm gonna become a man. And chances are, i'll be a lot harder to deal with than i am now.

I hope.

Valentine's Day

Recently i have been listening to this song. Its called Valentine's Day by Linkin Park. Most people should know it, eh? What interest me is the uncommon structure of the song. The "chorus" is at the back of the song. Its a really nice song with the sad tones placed out nicely.





My insides all turned to ash, So slow
And blew away as I collapsed, So cold
A black wind took them away, From sight
And now the darkness over day, that night

And the clouds above move closer
looking so dissatisfied
but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

I used to be my own protection, But not now
Cause my path had lost direction, Somehow
A black wind took you away, From sight
And now the darkness over day, That night

And the clouds above more closer
looking so dissatisfied
and the ground below grew colder
as they put you down inside
but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing


So now you're gone
And I was wrongI never knew what it was like
To be alone


On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection)
On a Valentine's Day,(But not now)

On a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction)
On a Valentine's Day,(somehow)
On a Valentine's Day(I used to be my own protection)
On a Valentine's Day,(But not now)
On a Valentine's Day(Cause my mind has lost direction)
On a Valentine's Day,(somehow)

Geylang Trip

Zuli's blog says its the month of Ramadhan. 3 years ago, I went to Geylang during this period of time with her, Atikah, Edwin, Danny, Liyue, Benjamin and his bro, Norani and her bro, and i think a few more. It was quite fun then. That was 2004.


Anyhow its celebrated by the Muslims who are mainly Malays. They stop eating and drinking from a certain time in the morning and are allowed to eat only sometime after 7pm. Tough eh? But this is only the most common side seen by other Singaporeans. The truth is this is the month that they cleanse their soul and they abstain from other stuff such as sex, smoking and more (said so from Zuli's blog, correct me if i'm wrong). Its been a long time since i met Zuli and Atikah, so we decided that we should go again this year. Thus we went to Geylang to FEAST! Lol. Sounds so wrong. But its true, Geylang is quite the food paradise. There are other things to shop too.


Its kind of weird, how Edwin and I are the only Chinese in the area. But its an eye opener and an experience that occurs only in a period of the year. I had a great time with my Malay friends too.


In conclusion, its not bad, quite fun, should go again next year.
