Bug Zapper!

i chanced upon this website that's super duper cool! Here's an extract:

An actual ray gun would be my preferred method of spider extermination, but unfortunately, the Bug Vacuum just looks like one. An ecologically friendly device, the handheld vacuum sucks up stray bugs and secures them in a chamber to be released unharmed into the wild. For the naturalist in all of us, a built-in magnifier lets you get a close-up look at the bug while it's trapped. I've always leaned to the tissue-grab-and-flush method for insect control, but I guess I could learn to be a bit more green for 25 bucks. — Trevor Noren

The Bug Vacuum, via The Red Ferret Journal

yup go here! and, if u're taking the A levels like me, i suggest u see it after A's actually.. i laughed like a million times while reading, and ya, i spent quite a while.. lolx.. well.. enjoy!

farewell assembly

okie so today was our final final assembly in tj! well it wasnt as emotional as i expected it to be, but still, it was pretty touching to see my schoolmates go up on the stage one by one to thank teachers and friends. these are the people to whom tj meant something to. i'm sure, like i've said before, most of us have complained loud and often about the various restrictions, practices, and even certain people in tj, but ultimately, there are some of us (including me) who have grown to love the school and the people, as most of them have said today. Can any of us really forget the friends we've made throughout these two years? Busy we may have been (well, some ppl at least, lol), but these friends who have been by our side during tutorials, lectures, pdp times and outings.. surely we have forged some measure of friendship with them. For those who will not miss TJ, i do feel some degree of sadness for them.. they would've wasted their time in these two years. Sure, they may get their A's, but personally, I feel that my jc life was enriched mainly due to choir, my classmates, and some of the teachers who have been particularly inspiring and caring.

okay, as u can see, this post in gonna be rather reflective and somewhat emotional, so just a warning here.=)

Choir, especially during my first year, was indeed my main source of recreation especially during busy periods. Rather than complain about the busy schedule of choir, i was thankful for the solace it offered. Truly, a day that ended with choir practice could turn a lousy day into one that bore remembrance. Each choir practice was one that i looked forward to. We were lucky to have such nice seniors who welcomed us warmly into TJChoir.. I'll always rmb them=) It was only when my batch took over that i actually really got to know them - we were so close to the seniors that we actually hardly mingled with one another! but then began the budding friendships within my batch.. within the comm, i made great friends, and though we had some disputes with ms lau, she did call us adorable in the end k! haha=) and within the altos, u guys were great! i wasnt a great sl, but thx to ur support, i pulled thru=) then, the year1s came in this yr.. a great bunch with plenty of potential, and i believe they'll do us proud again nxt syf=) all in all, TJChoir is one i'll never ever forget, and whose concerts, carolling, even cip, and especially the San Francisco trip will be precious memories i'll take away with me as i leave TJ.

and there's 06/05.. i may not have been as close to them as i would have wanted, esp as compared to sec4c, but they have been beside me all through tutorials, lectures and civics.. well they probably wont read this, but anw, to shurong weiwei melissa xiaoshan wendy jiayi, uall were great friends! muz totally keep in touch kk!! to the rest of 06/05, i may not have been extremely close to u, but i think each one of u (yes, really! everyone k!) have contributed much to the class. seriously, i'll miss all my classmates, and the times we've spent sabo-ing cedrick=p, talking abt a certain Mr Cold=), and eating tgt in the canteen..

my 'morning' group will of course be one i'll miss and think back fondly upon.. the spot nxt to the student lounge where we gather daily.. zoe danny yuxuan jojo.. we've not only had shared memories in choir, but also during the numerous lunches, the few kbox trips, and all the other outings we've had.. this very special bunch of people were funny, caring, and altogether made my life in tj so much more interesting. I'll miss the daily morning meetups, the weekly wednesday lunches and of course, just these people themselves.

well, perhaps i'll also dedicate a short paragraph to my maths c class.. though we hardly know each other, it was truly a memorable day when it was maths tutorial and we were all studying at scope. hmm. lol=P

to a special person.. its been impossible to forget, and those fond memories will be cherished..

tj has given me so many things to cherish and remember.. how can i not thank her for these gifts? i love my friends. i love its teachers (well, at least some of them). i love TJChoir. truly, i love tj.

well.. though it was the 'final assembly' today, at least its not the last time we'll see each other.. there's still the A's, grad nite, and of course, collection of 'A' level results. nevertheless, today's so-called farewell concert somehow gave finality to the fact that i will not attend lessons anymore in tj very very soon.

okay, here's some photos i took today!!=))

my morning spot!=)





me and xiaoshan after our last lecture!

with shurong in our favourite spot.. toilet!=p

3 of the bball guys acting serious.. LOL





yup, thats it! gd luck everyone for A's!

oo btw i took abit of break just now and i drew an overview of my room makeover for after A's! hai, i cant wait!!!=))

okay, time to mug!

study pls!

i must study! damn i'm such a slacker. gotta slap myself manz. oh well.

okay anw i was at national library making myself study today, then i went to bugis to get lunch and i saw some realli cute stuff! (Warning: strong hint ahead=p) i was just walking ard looking for a nice n cheap strap to attach to my hp pouch, then i went into Gift-A-Name and i saw a bunch of fur balls!! hahaha, okay they're not really furballs but they're actually called Rainbow Pompoms or sth.. haha.. vv cute! n soft! so nice to touch=)) heee=) then i walked ard somemore.. and i went to Action City, and i saw a Mini Water Dispenser! haha.. here's a pic:

cute right??? heee.. so.. strong hint k! haha.. kidding la, i doubt i'd drink so much water anw.. haha.. tt amt of water will last me a week at the rate i drink water=x lol.. i'll probably die of dehydration one day.. lol choychoy.. haha.. but its cute anw! haha.. maybe can consider when i redecorate my room after A's!!! whee~~~ so much i wanna do after A's man.. =)

hmm.. time flies isn't it? okay tt's v cliche.. time is like the hummingbird then.. okay tt doesnt make much sense.. but.. u get the point=) well.. there's only one day left of actual school, discounting the farewell assembly.. which really makes me think alot.. i love tj. i really do. i guess i knew tt b4, though i always had some complaint here n there.. but over the past two years, i've grown pretty attached to it.. and i can hardly believe there's only one day left.. just one day left for me to appreciate normal life in tj.. well, i swear i'll finally pay attention in whichever lesson i go on mon! i really will! and i will not almost fall asleep. i will listen to the lecturer without daydreaming. i'll even take down notes(if any)! well, i'll try my best not to daydream ba, u know, old habits die hard.=x

anw, i hope nobody will pon monday and tues!! gotta take lots of photos.. hopefully i'll blog on tues, with lots of photos! lalala.. okay i shant say any more sentimental stuff le for now, save them for tues!=)

ta~

i'll miss everything. so so much.

Ig Nobel prizes

okay this is interesting, this is the first time i've heard of the Ig Nobel prize.

Here's an excerpt:

BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- The sound sets teeth on edge, makes skin crawl and sends a shiver down the spine. Just thinking about it gives some people the heebie-jeebies.

But what is it about the sound of fingernails scratching a blackboard that elicits such a universal reaction?

Randolph Blake and two colleagues think they know -- the sound's frequency level.

Their research has earned them an Ig Nobel, the annual award given at Harvard University by Annals of Improbable Research magazine for weird, wacky and sometimes worthless scientific research.

The winners honored -- or maybe dishonored -- at a raucous ceremony Thursday at Harvard's inappropriately opulent Sanders Theater include a doctor who put his finger on a cure for hiccups; two men who think there is something to the old adage that feet smell like cheese; and researchers who discovered that dung beetles won't tuck in to just any old pile of ... well, dung.

It's interesting u know, if worthless.

blabla.. things can be so hard. blaaaa. blaaaaaaaa. so much i want to say, nothing i can say.

cheers everyone.

whee!

so happy=) haha i got it!! like.. i got my phone! hee=D i'm so totally in love with it=) wheeheehee~~~

anw mr peck was discussing our prelim qn abt blogging today ("Blogging is nothing more than idle chatter and self-indulgence." Is this a fair comment?) haha, yeah i guess this is partially true, so.. warning: my blog contains idle chatter & self-indulgence! ppl who do not like to read such content are welcome to leave. i recommend google - u can simply create ur google homepage with only content that u want. no more idle chatter!=) anw, as i was saying before the warning, we were discussing the qn, then mr peck asked: Does anyone in the class have blogs? well, i admit i raised a finger.. then swiftly put it down again. lol. let me just name who has blogs in my class (at least, those i know of..): me(duh), weiwei, daphne, rakesh, nishanth, thiamkee.. that's 6 at least. naturally, 'no one' had blogs at that moment. naturally.

i totally love Goodwood Park Hotal durian mooncake=) yummmm.

oh, and i love my phone.=D

alright, that's enough idle chatter and self-indulgence for now. (and not to mention showing off.=p) i apologise.. not very sincerely.

blah!

hmz so far got back my maths n physics results.. v disappointing lar. dun wanna talk abt it.

anw, i saw this quote:

"In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite."
- Paul Dirac

haha i totally agree with the second line esp! ahhah tt's why i dropped lit! (haha lit students dun kill me k!) i mean, not tt its a bad thing, i guess i enjoy a tiny amt of it, but i just dont get the point of writing so much abt a few lines of poems n blabla. lolx.. though neither do i totally agree with the first half of the quote.. like, okay those scientist tried to unravel the mysteries of the scientific world. yes, they tried. but its not like everyone can understand it lar. again, its debatable. as long as u work hard enuf, i guess u can. then again, for what? passion? yeah. right. not me though, not for science in GCE 'A' level anw.

kk enough of the cynic in me. guess i was going off topic le lol. anw, this period is a damn nightmare. cant wait to wake up. blah. gotta survive. give me strength man. lol.

anw i got a dream phone!!!! hee. i predict i'll be getting it soon! wheehee! cant wait! shant tell u which one i like=p though my msn nick does give a clue. heeee. lalala. i love the phone=)

focus.

pandora!

i just discovered this website www.pandora.com tts sth like a personal radio station. first u create a station (for best results go create an account, its v fast=D), then u tell them at least one song/artist that you like, then they'll play other songs that they think you'll like. on the way, if u particularly like/hate a song, just indicate so, and they'll customise the 'radio station' accordingly. and even me being so fussy, so far i really like the songs they've played!=)) they even have abit of chanticleer and il divo! and obviously most of the pop songs as well=) the only drawback is that it doesnt have chinese songs, but well, i can deal with that=)) (my favourite songs in Pandora is listed in my 'links' section, go see!=P) and if you're interested in the songs i listen to, u can go to [Holiday]! -this is the station i created for myself, with songs tt are kind of lighthearted, sometimes romantic, abit christmassy sometimes.. well, u gotta listen to really know la=) this is my fave station as of now, but i've also created a rock station at [RockOn!] =)

okay gotta get back to studying! i havent been concentrating much yest AND today!=x=x well, guess i needed a short break anyway, but not too long!!! okok, i really gotta go now=)) cya!

ps: go try Pandora k! its called the 'Music Genome Project' btw, cool rite? hee

pps: gd luck for everyone else tt's studying out there!

ppps: hmz i really really gotta go=x=x

hapi (early) teachers' day!

haha we celebrated tcher's day during second break yesterday! quite fun sia, invited our tutors to the canteen, where we had reserved 5 tables for our own use! hee.. and we also had a 1.5kg cake which was yummy~! so we gave them their cards, and let mrs leong cut the cake! hmz.. then we took pics!



rest of the day was pretty fun too, cos after tt break was physics! n since mr koh aka mr cold was there le, of course we took the initiative to extend our break=)) haha.. then after physics was actually maths tutorial, but i ponned la lol, and since the fm ppl had their lesson postponed too.. guess what we did! take photos! hahah.. so fun la, took alot alot of pics v funny de.. esp cedrick lol.. damn crappy.. hahaha.. have a peek..=)

okay so tt was our 'last' day of school.. meaning 2 more weeks to prelims! how scary is that man.. much of my optimism is gone by now, but i've still gotta do what i have to do.. focus! focus! focus! in fact that's the only thing i shld be doing now. well jiayou man! been a really bad week, but i guess the only way's to smile and hope things turn out better soon..=) smile n be happy everyone!

3 weeks

3 weeks to prelims lo. Hmm tts fast sia. Nxt week will be last week of school le. so fast sia, soon we wont have so-called 'fixed' lessons le, uni will be such a different experience! lalala.. but anw, been really trying to studying la, but interestingly, i dont feel overly stressed. stressed, yes, but not too much. somehow, i've been abnormally happy lol but i suppose that isnt a bad thing. We've all gotta learn how to move on. been studying in the national library regularly, n i think it's really the best place for me=) hee feel quite happy there, considering its my study place.. maybe its due to the 'happiness' radiating from bugis (equivalent to shopping n having fun=D) so ya, gonna continue gg there!=D

anw, i love my frens and am infinitely content. =)) with the major aspects of my life. whee~

and here's a pic of me n carol on national day! not one of our more glamourous, but probably one of the more patriotic=) lol (hint: do note the colour of our attire=p)

laaaah

ohwellz. things arent looking good. but ANYWAY gotta be optimistic!!! lalala, sometimes just gotta deal with things as they come. lalallaa.. =))

but national day was fun!! went out with carol=) she wore red polo tee, n i wore white! hahaha then i wore red accessories, n she wore white=DD heeeee. then at first we wanted to go haagen daz for their chocolate fondue cos it's supposed to be v niceee, BUT we went to the one in front of the hilton hotel n its like so coffee shop la! lol its juz a fan blowing at the tables n its like only abt 4 tables pls. diaooo. so we took cab(!!! lol) to cineleisure and watched the Lake House! (before that we took neoprints, might post it nxt time=p) lake house rocks la, keanu reeves n sandra bullock okay! so niceeee=))))) my fave actors of all time man! =D hahaah.. n its like super sweet la, man, super duper sweet! wheeheee`` then we ate at maestro bistro at cineleisure, tried the choc fondue there! haha, quite fun la, we ordered the fondue for 4 cos its more worth it lol hahaha, PLUS a pasta, i swear the waiter was so laughing at us k! lolx, but it wasnt that much la seriously, cos anw it was kinda our dinner ma, whereas other ppl prob eat it for a light dinner onli, but in any case it was highly fattening! but still nice hee=))

nil

when things go bad, they usually become worse. then maybe, just maybe, it gets better. well, u dont have any control over what's gonna happen. but at least u can control how u wanna handle it. of sorts.

damn.
