New host, new look, new feel. I chose wordpress over blogger for its clean and user-friendly interface and, more importantly, the great themes the Wordpress community possess for its users. I totally do not wish nor do I have the time to make a new template, as I have to learn xml in order to do so. However wordpress has no support for tagboards, so Im stuck here till I find a way around it :/
Its the start of the year 2009, and its the time where most 16 year olds are stuck waiting for their O level results. Im no different. Not sure how mine will turn out, but lets just hope for the best for all of us :) Also hopefully the chalet would be a success and that the mood wont be spoilt. Its getting more mundane these days. Im wearing out my thumbs on DJMax and Topgear season 2 isnt getting more interesting :/
12 Jan marks the end of our childhood. It is time for us teens to grow up and start looking forwards, and think about what kind of futures we want, and what kinds of paths we should take in order to walk towards our ideal futures. I wish everyone a great year ahead. May we discover what we really want in life and strive towards that dream, so that we make the best out of our lives.
Fresh start for a New Year
Church Camp
Had church camp on monday to tuesday. Actually it was more of a overnight project than a church camp, because the camp was supposed to let us do our wall-painting for the Youth classroom. The walls were originally white, blank and plain, thus we decided on a project to decorate the class. We spent two days doing wall-painting and it turned out to be quite professional looking :D
cool black border we painted on impromptu
the white box hadnt been finished when i took this pic
What we did was to use a projector and project the words and images we wanted onto the screen and then trace them out, after which we would paint them. The silhouettes though were tracings of ourselves! The silhouettes are from the left: Kerrhui kneeling in prayer, Anhui reading the bible, my sister Joy playing the piano, Zhi ler playing the guitar, and me drawing the banner LOL
It was a very new experience, because painting on a wall is very different to drawing on a piece of paper. You cannot make mistakes, or the line would be wavy, or the paint would override another colour. In these two days, i can say that the fellowship worked as one, and even the adults couldnt believe how well we executed our own project :D The only sad thing was this project was rather impromptu and not thoroughly planned enough, or we could have painted the walls different colours (eg. neon orange) to look more like a bright ipod commercial. And everyone should watch Passion of Christ! It was a very awesome movie, and it even moved some to tears. Jesus' suffering was so great, all for the sins of man. What a great two days it had been!

Social Studies....
...ROCKED!
Was almost late due to a traffic jam and an early entrance of students into the examination hall. But I made it and didnt die. When I was running up the steps of the back gate, I met Sathi and she said in a hearty booming voice " GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR SOCIALSTUDIES JONATHAN!" That brought an immediate smile on my face, however in the next instant I was at the class door, getting ushered in by some girls, while the rest of the people in the room were looking intently at me. Some probably wanted me to be late cough*jo*cough LOL no lah. He gave me a handslap and I sat down, jittery with nerves.
The exam was a breeze! I cannot believe governance came out, which is the first ever chapter Sathi taught us for SS. It kind of sucks to think that you could have studied just one chapter (and the first chapter at that) and score well. Being the stupid mugger that I am to ensure I scored well for SS I studied ALL of sec 3 + iraq-kuwait, so that what Ive studied would for 100% come out. I was freaking scared of chapter 6 coming, which was all about diplomacy and relations with ASEAN and UN. Not to say they are useless, but they do take up a whole lot of space in the brain.
For those who in any case didnt do well in this paper, dont fall into despair. Ive diligently checked Sgforums, and some people who did the Iraq-kuwait SEQ forgot the names of Bubiyan and Warbah. Some didnt complete the paper, while others spent 1 hour on SEQ, leaving a meagre 30 min for SBQ, which is totally too short a period of time to complete such a long question.
Bad news though, it is a general consensus that EM, AM and Chemistry were breeze-throughs. Physics was deemed impossible/hard/crazy. Those who are confident of A1/A2 (not me, im taking biochem) should be happy out of their wits.
SO now ive been slacking for the past 5 hours or so, enjoying my time till tomorrow morning when ill be mugging for HCL. What a chore, that the government had to have bilingualism implemented in 1966. Bah.
OMG im so high
Im as of now feeling very elated/exuberant/ecstatic/overwhelmed for some reason. I cant keep still to start studying, and even if i settle down on the spot, my legs' skeletal muscles will start undergoing vigorous muscular contractions. Ive been walking around the house for quite some time now and my muscles have started fatiguing so I sat down to type this blog post out. See, even my fingers cant rest. And this is the second post in 3 hours.
Time: 9.44pm. Alleged time to start: 9am. Progress: 0%
I can almost hear Sathi's voice screaming away in my head "Don't you DARE slack, you birdbrains! And how many times must I STRESS, PEE~! Always link back to the issue! Wake up your ideas people!"
A1 FOR SS!
2nd week
2nd is up! I can finally let off a BIG sigh of relief. Biology was one constant worry in my head, because of its volume and wide variety of questioning style. I jumped right into the essay questions at the start in fear of running out of time, but my worries melted away once I laid my eyes on the first question. An ace subject for sure.
However, I probably wont get higher than a b3 in physics. IM SO GLAD I TAKE TRIPLE SCIENCE MWAHA!
Time to mug SS, time to please Ms Sathi!
