Plan for the week:

1. Show music teacher what I had done for essay so far and ask if I’m on the right track.
2. Attend remedials.
3. Not to screw up OTeam interview.
4. Finish Math Assignment 5B once and for all.
4a. Understand more about integration in the process.
5. Practice Piano
6. Read Ender’s Game
7. Read through Physics lecture notes on Thermal Physics again.
8. Read through Econs lecture notes on Firms again.
9. Read through Math lecture notes on Integration & Differential Eqns again.

Stayover at Aaron’s house was rather fun..

Harry Potter Cluedo
Monopoly: Jared acquired Queen Astrid Park, Geylang Road and Serangoon Road in 3 moves immediately after completing the 1 round of no-play. Everyone else promptly resigned.

Truth and Truth session: Mervyn Tan gave some questions that you would never had thought of thinking of like “Who would you want as your best man during your wedding?”, for example.
GOOD FOOD! Even the fried rice had a heavenly taste.

Bon Voyage, Aaron Tan! Have fun at Cambridge.

NDP Preview on Saturday: The rain just before it started did nothing to drown the excitement of the crowd, and the hosts did an excellent job to keep the audience in the mood.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, please rise to welcome the Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr. Lee Hsien Loong… simulated.” Then the motorcade came in and this really young guy stepped out of the car and waved to everyone. Everyone literally LOL-ed. He went to where the PM would be sitting on the actual day, sat down briefly and quickly exited while waving a little more, enjoying his 1minute of fame.

The armed forces display was spectacular, particularly because never before could you see boats and Apaches demonstrating their stuff at a National Day Parade, or commandos coming right next to you in your seats.

My 19th-floor neighbour knows my ex-classmates, both primary and secondary school.

“You’re from Henry Park? So you know Chu Ting?”
“Ya.”
“Christine?”
“Ya.”
“Eugenia?”
“Ya.”
“Teren Pereira?”
“Yupp. … wow.”

And previously, I never talked to her much. Quite cool to find out that Singapore is really such a small place.

Till the next time, it’s me, woonie, signing off.

SPA

I took an entire 40 minutes to set up my apparatus during Physics SPA.

In case you blogreaders [i'm not even sure they exist anymore] can’t count, that left me with 25minutes to conduct my experiments, take down the measurements and plot the graph.

I got ggxx-ed.

It’s indeed a bad sign when a younger sibling no longer shows respect towards her elder brother.

Now for the hard part:
Actually doing my work.

I vow not to get any lower than 45% for this tuesday’s econs test. I think this is a reasonable target, considering that I have been getting single-digit scores out of 25 or 30 for my essays, lecture tests and common test. Then again, this is the reason why no one bothers about my existence. After all, what good can a failure like me do to them? And talking about failure, why do popular people in school complain they are failures after overachieving in everything they do?

I SHALL BUCK UP ON MY ESSAY WRITING. It took me forever to find the right words to describe what I wanted to say in the previous paragraph. ECONS. GP. MUSIC <– yes this subject requires essay-writing too. >=(

Remembering theory of Econs is relatively simple. It’s the essay-writing and time management which fail me. The process of phrasing what I want to write about in a coherent and readable manner is my biggest obstacle.

This obstacle not only applies to essay-writing, but also my presentation skills. I need to be more confident in what I want to say. I need to be able to let people know what I’m trying to tell them. If I don’t do something about this, I will fail the 40% allocated to Oral Presentation for PW for sure.

Damn I better stop writing any more in case the OTeam Comm comes across this blog post and deny my application because of all these shortcomings. \=

I WANNA BE AN OGL.

This shall be my motivation to make a drastic improvement in time for Promos.

Being in the 27th percentile for CT1 is a really really bad sign though. =(
