"School does not rock" no more

This is going to be the last post in this blog.
Yes, im going to start a whole new blog, with a new concept, new skin, etc. I will release the URL of my new blog when im done.
Thanks everyone for reading and supporting this blog! However, i won't be deleting this blog...looking forward to the completion of my new blog!

My thoughts about blogs, blogging...

A blogger's thoughts about his...past-time?

1) This blog is strictly for my to rant about my feelings, happenings etc like a diary. The only difference is the technology and that I do not start my posts with "Dear Diary/Blog..." So of course this isn't like a diary, but what the heck. A quote (as much as I can remember) from one of the articles in the Straits Times about the latest scandals over blogger's posts, "A blog is not a private place for you to write everything you want, like a diary. Instead, it is a public place and anyone can view your blog. If you want to write things that you know would harm someone, Microsoft Word in your C drive is the best place to do this."
(Back to the main point...) My point is, I did not intend to create this blog just for the purpose of gaining ACE points. Not like some of my other friends...Of course, if Mr. Liew and Mr. Quek wishes to give me ACE pts for "controversial posts", I would still gladly accept them. :p

2) My comments on other's blogs:
NICHOLAS: A must-comment-on blog. His posts offends other people, namely those who have b-g relationships (you know what I mean...) Just go check his blog and you will know. Nicholas do you know that legally those pple who you have offended can file a lawsuit against you for slander?? (Re-iterating the point of the recent scandals over blogs.)

Also most of my classmates have left their blog to degenerate over time or switched to another blog without telling me their new URL. For the ones which are like that, I have striked-out their names in my "Links" section.

Now for some other stuff...

I got 1st in class for term 2!! Im so happy....my mother was so surprised when i told her the news :D Me and tiansheng tied for 1st with an MSG of 2.0. The only sad thing is that my MSG this term slipped by 0.33.

iSpark Nite was *quite* fun. We kinda screwed up our performance, with the string for the shark scene being too short, Nicholas the slacker not turning up...But at least the audience cheered for us :) I think the sec 3s did the best in the performance; all the sec4s sang songs. Boring....It wasn't as if they sang very well either.
That night, I slept relatively well, falling asleep at about 12:30 and waking at at 6:00 am. Some of my classmates couldn't sleep, while other stayed up to play chinese chess and called themselves the dead chess society....无聊.

June Hols (finally)

Yep the June holidays are finally coming ...but so are the homework :( and my Biology modular test is tmr!! ARGH!!

There's been a lot of talk in class about boy-girl relationships, and its mostly about Wei Qi, Kuan Yue & Eening. You can see posts about them in my classmates's blogs. So the rumour (note, RUMOUR) is that Kuan Yue has fallen for *her*, and Wei Qi already had a past relationship with her. And rumours have also said that they cried before because of her (dunno why). And although they appear to be cheerful and act normal in class, I guess their hearts are broken over her. sigh...just like in the drama shows....
Its lucky I have not fallen in this "trap" (I hail from a boy's school, remember?) But that irritating Shaun keeps asking me to get a girlfriend...shaun if you are reading this I'm telling you now, STOP IT.

Mr Quek has come back to teach (or haunt?) us...he will take over as our English teacher when Mr Warren Liew leaves, but won't be teaching us Literature anymore. *sigh*...Mr Liew is such a nice guy...we will all miss him... :'(
Also, I met Mr Quek at the Skin Centre about a couple of weeks ago...apparently he has mild eczema. (Note: Mr Quek if you see this and want me to take it off pls tell me and I will gladly do so.)

For more cheerful news, I will be going for iSpark Nite tmr - basically we spend a night in school. Hope that 1N doesn't screw up the performance. And then its the End Of Term Activities after that (Im going for bowling) so tmr is effectively the last day of this semester :)

I will enhance the appearance of this blog by using a skin from www.blogskins.com in the June hols when I have time.

PS the Open Beta for MapleSEA has started :)

Sabbaticals

I havent posted for a LONG time as i've been too busy with 1N riddles and solving zest riddles...not to mention being busy school-related stuff. There are now 10 riddles on 1N riddles :)
I've realised that zest riddles had atcually been copied from notpron riddles, u can visit it at http://www.deathball.net/notpron Well 1N riddles was based on zest riddles anyway...

Ok so now about the Sabbaticals. I went for the PHP & MySQL Sabbaticals and liked it very much. My father initially wanted me to go for "Business Laboratory" but it sux...all those who went said it was boring. Not to mention I got the full 5 ACE pts for PHP&MySQL (not that I really need them anyway). And on top of that, we still got to slack and played com games during recess/before the Mr Yong (our trainer) arrived/after the sabbaticals. And Mr Yong is such a nice guy...he actually let us play our games after we finished our assignments. He doesnt even scold us :)
Now I can create a database and create a PHP site to show all the data. Our assingment was to create an online CD store which could list out all the albums in our database when u type in a keyword to search for. We novices have to finsih it in 2 days O_o Sounds hard? It is. My group included Jia Kun and Huang Ji. Jia Kun did most of the PHP scripting (i have to admit he is better at PHP than I am) while I did the layout (HTML) of the page. And Huang Ji the slacker barely did anything at all. Instead, he went to play com games and work on his C++ program while we worked (wad e crap doing C++ during a PHP/MySQL lesson -_-''').
In the end, Mr Yong awarded my and Jia Kun 5 ACE pts each for doing most of the work (and we did it quite well) but he only awarded Huang Ji 4 ACE pts. At least he's justified but I think Huang Ji deserves only 3 ACE pts. Not that he really needs it anyway. :P

NAPFA 2.4 km run

ARGH i failed the 2.4 km run!! so sad...now i gotta comtinue attending the morning runs :( But i guess it helps me train up my stamina.

Anyway Mr Quek, my lit teacher, has said that my poem was quite good, so I'm going to do a presentation on it next week. Sadly (or fortunately), Mr Quek is gonna leave us next week. Most of my class is looking forward to it as the majority don't really like him.

My class is 'addicted' to Super Smash Bros, we play it whenever we get the chance to in school. (although I think we're not allowed to do so :p)

I signed up for the PHP/MySQL sabbatical, hope I can learn more in this area :). The Sabbaticals is a programme by HCI where we get to join a course on something we like. The whole last week of the term is dedicated to the sabbaticals, so no lessons :)

Well there's alot of other stuff which has happened to me in he past few weeks, but I won't go into detail else this blog would become too clogged up with unintersting stuff.
Going to eat lunch now.

NAPFA test/Projects Day

haiz...got fever today so skipped gym and wushu lessons :( anyway we had our NAPFA test 2day and I aced it (with a fever :p). 37 sit-ups, 28 inclined pull-ups, SBJ 213 cm (same as shaun), sit and reach 43 cm and shuttle run 11.2 sec (dunno if it was 10.2 or 11.2?) thats a total score of 22/25, with grades BAAAC :D But im afraid of next week's 2.4 km run....i got low stamina so dunno if i can pass it. mebbe ill get an E for it at most :(

Yah so alot been's happening in school but havent found the time to write about it...term tests are just 'round the corner. *sigh* And projects day sux...we thought that we could pass the prelims but didn't...sigh. Well almost my whole class failed anyway. Wonder what went wrong. Hope that we can do better in the re-prelims...
This is the my poem which I had to write as my Literature homework...sigh...
The autumn wind whistles through the bare
Branches of the wayside trees.
Leaves flutter helplessly to the ground like dead birds;
Colours of red, brown, orange and yellow
Floating about in the breeze.

The happy days of summer are past
No more children playing, running around.
As I trudge home I am the last
Human soul
Not another person I found.

I shiver with cold, shuffle faster;
The main road which is ever so busy
Seems so empty now.
The sun sinks slowly, the winds settle lazily
As I finally reach home, relieved, and sigh.

About the Pope's death...may god bless him and may he rest in peace. Im not a Christian but i guess i can't help feeling sad :(
