2009-02-13T05:55:00.001-08:00

OKays so long nvr blog liao.

What do you think is the reason? Study? Or Other stuff> ANswer, Both.
Now that i am sec 3, i got to set things right.
Some food for thought.
Life is like a windmill, it spins with the currents of time. Once the wind stops, life is back to being mundane and uneventful. Hence, its actually a blessing to be kept busy.

On another note, got this from eugene's blog:
"where's my valentine?"

"the true story of valentine's day is because of a guy who wanted to find his girl on a fine 14th of february.he took a walk on the streets,decided that he will choose the one that captures his attention,the face that he will adore and love.everywhere he walked,everyone he saw,came in pairs.couples filled the streets.he was a big loner.suddenly,right ahead of him,about 100 metres away,he saw a lonely figure standing right in the middle,he took a run and approached the figure.
"wooo,a chiobu," he exclaimed.
true enough,the girl was extraordinary.she smiled at him.the surroundings seemed to have taken a change;it's him and her only.then he finally mustered the courage to ask,
"will you be...will you...my....."
"i already got boyfriend liao." she knew what he was hitting at,and replied without hesitation.
there was silence.
the guy,named valentine,returned back home,and decided that this was a day that only he was left all alone.so he named it his day,Valentine's Day."

LOls piss out!

The Long Way Home

2009-01-19T04:27:00.000-08:00

The era of peace was over. The time of destruction was near; soon it would collapse to the might of darkness. The sun was almost out, darkness crept the land, hiding the earth as if a massive cowl was placed over it. The ground was barren and the soil, dead. Home, what was it like? Was it beautiful? Or was it always like this? Fenix looked up at the setting sun, sending a streak of eerie red light across the sky. The bodies of dead soldiers littered the ground in front of him. He checked his ammunition and made sure he still had ammunition.” When’s this going to end?” he thought. His right foot had been shot and he could not stand up. As he crawled to a nearby rock, his past flashed in front of him. It had seemed so long when the war broke out. He was still a kid back then, but the incident would forever be encased in his memories. He was five, a normal kid with hazel dark eyes and short messy hair, he was not what he was today, a muscular battle scarred man whose eyes showed no mercy, no compassion to his enemies. Yes, he was an innocent kid back then. As a young boy, Fenix worked with his father at their farm to earn a living, his mother was a house wife and administered herself with the family’s daily needs. Fenix had everything he wanted, a family and a home.

Then it happened. It was all over the news; war had broken out between their country and the neighbouring country. Fenix’s father was the soldier of the old regiment of troops and so, was subject to the country’s will.

“Where are you going dad?” Fenix asked.

“Fenix, you got to stay strong, I am going to be back soon, promise me you will take care of your mother.” He said.

“What did he mean by that?” Fenix wondered. Then he left.

Day by day, the news of their country’s advances and defeats were announced on the news. Fenix and his mother huddled together, watching in fear as the death count increased. As the months grew, the death count was astounding with more people dead than alive, both countries suffered tremendous lost, in terms of economy or military. The people lived in fear as enemy troops bombarded the cities over and over again. Fenix was fifteen, not the jubilant and lively child he once was, but a haggard and tired teenager. One must learn to adapt to survive in these harsh conditions. The war had dragged on for more than ten years and everyday, he saw his friends being taken away to regimentation, and then, joining the army. His mother too, had experienced the full blow of what war caused, physical and emotional damage. She was no longer the young and beautiful mother he once knew, but was now a tired and frail woman, with no hope in life.

One day, Fenix heard a knock at the door while he was eating dinner. He opened the door and to his dread, a soldier stood there with a letter in his hand. Tears welled in his eyes, it could not be, his father would not die, he promised he would be back. As he soaked in the moment of disbelief, his mother came and embraced him. “ I knew it all along, but I just could not believe he was dead……” his mother said. Together mother and child mourned in silence for a home destroyed and a dear member of it gone.

Fenix grew up a strong boy, the war was still on when he was twenty five years old. He lived in the orphanage as his mother had died a few years back when the enemy troops bombed their home land. With a resolution to take revenge, and so he joined the army.

“Son you must be strong….” The words echoed in Fenix’s head.

Fenix leaned against the rock, gasping for air; he raised his rifle and aimed at the enemy troops. A piercing hot object entered him. Fenix Cole collapsed onto the ground, lights flashing in his eyes. Darkness clouded his mind and then, a white light.

“Don’t worry mum, dad, I am coming……”

A few years later the United Nations decided it was time to end this pointless war and make a peace pact. Every year, the people in the countries involved in the war would mourn the lose of their beloved ones. In memory of the men and people who died in the war, a memorial was built. Among the graves, rest three marble tombstones, delicate angels were carved on them, on the stone states,” Here lies Fenix Cole, Tom Cole and Jessica Cole. May they rest in peace together.”

Fenix had finally returned home.

Merry xmas!

Veloci-T

2008-11-19T01:02:00.000-08:00

Man velocit was fun man.... memoriesssssss

Day 1
arrived in school at 6.45am. my bone was aching but i was excited and anticipating.
Well long story cut short, we were briefed and we then proceeded to east coast park where we did some ice breaker games( introduction with favorite girls school) lols =D
Then came the exciting part, we were told to raft all the way from east coast to spartci camp if that is what it is called. we rafted and rafted only to see doom coming our way. Lightining! ahhhh we were out in the sea man, the open. Shit! luckily we had mr siow and the instructor, they used the speed boat and towed us. man it was an adventure man it started raining and the current was strong but victorians never give up so we preservered and SURVIVED. wooow.

Next up in the day we headed (on feet) all the way to jalan bethera campsite where we would spend the remaining two nights in singapore.

Following that was as follows
:kayaking
zipline
castle framework
night games. kopitiam,snakes and letters and human checkers.

the activities were so fun! =)
human checkers were like yugioh la so it was actually a little weird lol

Nighty night!

Day2

morning PT.
then rock climbing and general stations. through these activities, we learnt the value of teamwork and discovered the inner leadership skills within us.it was fun and deeply enjoyable to learn.

later we had castle framework which taught us ACtion. after consolidating, we take action. that is what we learned from mr siow.

Raining and more rain. so we rested, apart from a few of us( we watched a Japanese diving story lols)

when the rain stopped we proceeded to do the CRC challenge rope course. Gawps* =p
so much fun.

That night was the night of nights man. we had COMBAT SKIRMISH. WOOTS! it was something like CS except the game involved laser guns. it was so damn tooting fun ( adrenaline!) most of the kills were friendly fires though lols.( mr siow went to recharge life but when we just walked a few paces, Howard and me were like "enemy!!!!!" and started shooting like like siao hahaha! by the time we realised it was mr siow he was left with 4 lifes =p
( other interesting things that happened was that yong siang and howard were called murderers after killing a praying mantis with insect repellant lols@@@#

Day 3 ( leaving for mawaii) kawaii!

we packed and cleaned the area then proceeded to Mawaii eco camp!. on the bus we were spamming cheers like I ask my love and Titanic

when we arrived our first impression was like OMFG this is a jungle man! uncle sutari( the local orang asli introduced us to the area.) the whole campsite was built near the river and the MPH(multi purpose hall) was like above water. the whole place was built by orang asli. to cross to the campsite, we had to cross the river by boat. WOOts! Xperience man.

Later we had debriefing and had lunch. Food was better in Mawaii than in S'pore man. lols.

after which we had to go for swamp walk where we learnt jungle survival and different animal traps. i tio leech Ahh but i didn't feel any thing =)
we later had water obstacles. I LOST MY SPECS!!!! it was disastrous !
But ANUBIS for the win man. we won Ra in mud volleyball; lols ;p

later that night we prayed for rain together with the seniors( no water to bath XP), oh man that unforgettable experience! i would never forget it! Getting a little emo here XD

Day4 ( THe HikE)

rise and shining with a carpenter bee beside you was a shocking and amazing experience man. lols totally freaked out. later changed into clongdidas( special shoes for anti mud)<< i think>> X_X"

we later hiked gunung arong. the road up was generally smooth but very tiring. but
the descend was very very dangerous with steep corners at every corner. lols we had to hold on to ropes. watch out junior leaders of 2010! lols. after whih we walked on a beach with many small crabs. so cute!! they were everywhere man too bad no pics to show you all. =(

later that night we had our firefly cruise. mr sutari told us that there were haunted bunkers nearby ooos scary. well the fire flys were cool, we had a nice cruise la.

then we had the campfire where we did a skit. so hillarious TRACEY!! lolssss
WE then had our cheer which we rocked to the core ANUBIS!!

later we saw the senior leaders of 2009 having their emo moments. so emo@1

It was a great camp. we had learned much through this camp. we learned about teamwork, respect, bonding, sense of urgency. through this camp i bonded with the different cca leaders of VS. i becam a brother to them and they became one to me. That is what VS offers. Something more. Brothers forever. NIL sine labore.

Day 5 (the departure, the returning)

cleaned up and made for Home. Veloci-T has Indeed changed me. it would be engraved in my mind forever. crystallized. I learned that to be a good leader, we must first be a good follower first. Gain the respect of your peers and juniors.

This camp has been a fun and memorable one. NIl sine labore, well said, through hard work, i earned the right to be junior leader. VS is my priority . I will strive to keep her flag unfurled.

2008-11-14T22:48:00.000-08:00

okay officially feeling high

just got back from veloci-t 2008! ^^

IT rocked like heaven man!

I am officially a junior leader of VS!

okay now i am going to give you a blow by blow story of the camp!!!

2008-10-17T15:20:00.000-07:00

ah, back from exams. Just had two days of post exam activities =) got 2nd in floorball(what to do 2g too many floorball player what =s anw can't wait to get math paper back on saturday. Wish me luck!

2008-09-19T00:15:00.000-07:00

okay one last post before i jyjy for EOYS!

well yesterday was the photo taking session, and it was very fun especially when ting zhou and Ryan carried Eugene horizontally, i swear the pic is So GOING TO BE FUN!

Anyway, usual day, almost sleeping in mr su's lesson, luckily, there was sweets to accompany me =P
well, studied, so far i remember this for science,
Refraction- the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another medium of different optical density. By the way, Optical density is so not density.
Reflection- the reflecting of light on a smooth or rough surface( diffused reflection) . The angle of incidence and the angle of refection is always the same, both rays lie on the same plane, and both rays have the same speed.
Dispersion- the dispersion of white light via a prism or water droplets to form into 7 colours. red, orange, yellow, green blue, indigo, violet. violet being the ray that refracts the most and red the least. red being the fastest and violet being the least.
Si unit for force is Newton. Si unit for moment is Newton metre.
Moment of a force- the moment of a force is defined as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance from the line of action to the pivot.
the line of action is the direction the force is acting toward in a particular motion.
The moment of a force is therefore directly proportional to the magnitude of the force applied and the perpendicular distance from the pivot.

Electricity-
Electricity is the amount of electrons flowing through a circuit.
There are three main component is electricity.
Current(I)
Resistance(ohm)
Potential difference(voltage)
Si unit for current is ampere and is measured through a ammeter.
Voltage is measure by a voltmeter
resistance, well formulae! parallel curcuit is measured in 1/R+1/R=1/R Total
in series it is just measured. a rheostat is a variable resistor.

okay!

Enough!

NOT
The resistance of an ammeter is ver low, and the voltmeter, very high
The formula of calculating resistance when the resistance is unknown is V/I
The following are the benifits of a parallel circuit,
- when one branch is broken in a parallel circuit, the current is still able to flow. there is also equal amount of current pasing through each branch.
- Used in household lightings.

In a series, the current is flowing through only one branch, hence, if it is broken, the whole circuit would be cut.

The filament of a light bulb, is made of tugnsten!=3
Reasons, it has a high melting pont, it has a high resistance, it is a conductor of electricity and it gives off a hot white light when the circuit is switched on.

the heating and magnetic and chemical effect are as follows.
The heating effect
- heat is produced when appliances that have heating elemnt eg, kettle, iron. would give off heat when turned on. Nichrome is usually used to make heating elements as it has a high melting point and a high resistance.
The chemical effect
- Electrolysis is conducted using the chemical effect by electricity.
in electrolysis, two carbon rods are placed connecting to each end of a electric circuit. each end is the placed in a beaker of water.
Electrolysis is the chemical decomposition of an electrolyte when electic current flows through it.

well, i could go on.......

and on..........

BUt it has to stop=P
well nice smelling you all! See yas. in October 23rd ++++++++)

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

singapore youth festival( SYF) (pls mark)

2008-01-15T01:53:00.000-08:00

My hand are numb and cold for a long time, i sat up looking nervously at the notice board awaiting our results. I am from choir, and this is the day we have all been training for, it is the Singapore Youth Festival, a competition for all students within the age of 6 till 18. It was organised to give us a taste of competition and the taste of victory. Well, that day was the day where dreams were realised and some crushed. But my conductor told us before the competition this quote:' Form your resolve, charge forward and leave no regrets.' that phrase gave us hope and the desire to win. So, we got up there and put up our best, at least i did. After which we sang three songs, 'Credo', 'noyosa' and 'everyone'.

Afterwards, we went back to the waiting room to await our results. After all the other choirs sang their final piece, the management team for the SYF invited a few of the committee members to enter the results hall. The rest of us had to wait feverishly at the waiting room.

After what seemed like an eternity, our seniors returned. They looked sad and i expected the worst. ' We got a gold award.' our Senior said curtly. We all felt disappointed and sad, tears leaked from my secondary four Senior who trained especially hard for this competition.

But i remembered what my conductor said, leave no regrets....The sadness slowly disappeared and was switched for determination and will. I said to myself quietly,"i will do better!"

A day in school (pls mark)

2008-01-11T23:19:00.000-08:00

Just another day in Victoria school where every typical student gets to unlock their potential and soar high in society. However there is one thing that not everyone hopes to do on an early morning, running a 2.4km run at the east coast. I know that to the cross country guys is a piece of cake but to us, it's just another way to waste time. For me, i would rather jog around the school than at the park. It's because in school there isn't much people jogging around but at the park, there many foreigners who jog there with their favourite little ' toy poodles' which are normally big and shaggy with lots of fur. Also, there isn't much rocks on the ground that could injure people. let me give you an example.

January 10Th, another day at school. the first period was PE and i hoped for some fun games but turns out, we had to run 2.4km. That put an end to my hopes. 'First up a slow jog to the beach' Mr tan said. But what people might not know is that the 'slow' means real fast. By the time i reached there i was panting. 1!2!3! beep! the whistle blew and one whole pack of Victorians charged forth leaving me to the dust. I started to jog keeping up with my classmate Darren. Along the way i had no problem. But after some time, a rock which i did not notice, tripped me and forced me to jog-jump with one leg. it stretched my ligaments and sprained my ankle. That day, i walked around like a limp guy with some bone disease. However i do not blame my teachers as the 2.4km run was a necessity for us to keep fit.

primary 6 (pls mark)

2008-01-11T22:46:00.000-08:00

During my primary 6, i was doing quite badly in my exams. All around me people started to call me a loser and i would surely end up in ITE- short form for what is known as 'it's the end' I desperately hoped for something good to shine upon me but nothing came. Finally, somewhere between June, i was picked for the national basketball team. i was elated but i was still worried for my exams. eventually after some time and consideration i decided to quit the team.

A picture of me before PSLE

That puts an end to it. But there was one more obstacle in my way, PSLE. the point where most students could go mental and thus, go crazy. i was really scared for i knew that if i didn't do well this time, i would be left with nothing and i would have to ask me to work to earn my own living, in a fast food restaurant! my teachers gave me a lot of support and encouragement, even my friend whom i have known since i was young, from Indonesia, also send me a mail to give me encouragement. In the end, after much effort i sat for the exam.

After a few days of concentration, PSLE was over. Even though it is over, the thought of not passing still lingered in my mind. i couldn't really enjoy the momentary peace. After what seemed like an eternity, i got my results. the result was that i had passed but not just passed, i passed with flying colours! I was overjoyed and over the moon. From then on i learned that a lttle effort a day keeps the tests away.
