Weekends are finally here :D
Quite a long list of things have happened since the last post. PW, academics (as usual), CCAs. Explains my absence from my blog for the past 1 1/2 weeks.
Yes. Love Warning letter from MOE. Apparently, 9 out of 13 guys (my Malaysian batchmates) also received the same hairdryer treatment. The girls didn't do as badly as us, I think. Not exactly hairdryer lah. But for me, it's more like getting my priorities right - dropping whatever leftover CCAs or external activities and focus primarily on mugging. To others who fell into the same pool - jiayous for promos! :D we shall mug and mug and mug and own promos. :D on another note. some of us got compulsory self-study sessions EVERYDAY! D: haihhs. meaning that I'll be returning home at like close to 6+ pm every single day.
A-Level SPA examinations were quite alright. The seniors said that this year's format is much easier though. They had to write a 4-page essay or so (?). idk. ahaha. full marks is out of the question, certainly, but definitely hopefully that A has been checked.
PW is being a hindrance to my revision schedule ): but at least I completed my EoM and group project trial - after nights of pia-ing by everyone :P Turned out quite well, but the archival system wasn't ready for live demonstration, unfortunately. That aside, THERE'S STILL KI LIT REVIEW AND WR ):
Haha at least I got a bit of entertainment this week. There's Daniel's A3-sized worshippable poster (laminated and de-motivated poster) as his birthday present. :D
Glad everyone did quite well for Physics test (although many may claim that the paper was easy). There's upcoming Economics and Maths test next week though :S so this weekend certainly isn't any free weekend :X haihhs. But certainly I'll do my best :D 09S60! we can do it! :D
It is 45 days to promos. Jiayouus! :D

I'm not a Singaporean, nor did I attend the National Day Parade at Marina Bay.
So this post isn't going to be about these things... but rather the more random and mundane things that has occurred over the past few days.
Anyway, as a side note, I have decided not to give up my Malaysian citizenship from the very start, although I would at least give back something to Singapore at some point of time.
Friday, 07/08/09
Uhh so. National Day didn't mean a lot except for the extra holiday and the fact that Friday was a half day off.
At least being in PA/AVA allowed me to go to the Auditorium control room, while the rest of the J1s were in the Hall.
That's a benefit as I can do what I like to do :D
Ricky, Huang Huang, Yixin, Joycelyn (the sleepyhead!) and Benjamin were there too!
The J2 seniors were extremely noisy (especially during the Harmonica Band performance).
It was rather clear from the top that most of them just couldn't care less.
Some were playing with their PSPs, handphones, hair or just plain mugging.
Oh well.
The celebration in auditorium ended rather early. Just lasting 2 hours.
There was also an MOE International Scholars' Meeting slightly later that day.
There was a "survey".
It was a form which had 6 boxes in it - strengths, weaknesses, support, resources and 2 feelings (?)
Appeared to be largely the same as the one we did at the start of the year.
I think it was pretty pointless, so much that I just wanted to leave it blank.
Perhaps one more relevant thing is regarding the warning letter.
I'll probably be receiving one due to my stupid U-grade in Physics. :/
Very unfortunately, my laptop decided to murder itself on the same day =.="
This time the thermal sensor was the culprit, it kept reporting that my CPU was at 99 degrees celsius right from the start.
And that caused the hardware to trip itself.
Attempted to repair it but no avail because I didn't have thermal paste with me.
Apparently this laptop is probably reaching its expiry date~
Wai Chew's laptop seems to be also on the verge of destruction as Windows XP takes around 3 - 5 minutes to start each time.
Felt rather unaccomplished at the end of the day as I just slept through :|
It's interesting to note that 12:34:56 07/08/09 happened :D
Saturday, 08/08/09
Went to Sim Lim Square alone to get the thermal paste I required.
Bought a VGA cable to replace the Boarders' Council's spoilt one, apparently the rate of spoilage of VGA cables within the Council is rather high, amounting to roughly 1 cable per 2 months.
I think I would be running out of money soon :/
MOE doesn't want to take into account inflation over the past 5 years ):
Since I was at Sim Lim Square, might as well take a look at what laptops are available currently to replace mine~
I had fun laming the salesperson(s) at various stores, by telling them that "I want a 14-inch laptop which can play Crysis at high settings".
Apparently one of them was rather ignorant, so much that he actually pointed me to a laptop with nVidia GeForce 9300M GS (which is rather low end) :D
Actually I have already chosen my laptop of choice :D
It's an Asus N81Vp (I saw the less powerful Vg model at SLS though), priced at roughly RM4320, after conversion from USD and taking into account delivery charges.
I didn't know importing laptops into Singapore would incur a 7% GST, whereas for Malaysia it's free!
Specs for Asus N81Vp are rather good :D
Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 (2.8 Ghz, 1066 Mhz FSB)
4GB DDR2 SDRAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD4650 (1GB GDDR3 VRAM)
14" 1366x768 pixels display
1.3 megapixel camera
5 USB ports, 1 eSATA port
2.50 kg with battery
And yes, it can play Crysis at high settings.
Oh by the way, just wanted to say that PW SUCKS D:
especially when the execution of our trial comes *right after* Physics Lecture Tests, which I feel I'm not adequately prepared for.
Time to get back to sleep~ *yawns*
It is 55 days to promos. Jiayouus! :D

Chemistry test just passed.
Made quite a bit of mistakes ><
sienned.
Apparently not much graphs came out, contrary to what was expected.
Ahh. Nevermind. Things have passed.
I sense lots of things coming up, especially for PW.
wished PW had really followed the Projects Competition format.
morning assembly had resumed~
Ms Ooi didn't come today.
At least by organic chemistry concepts got slightly clearer.
now guess what that means :D
my MPTP tutor was great :D
learnt lots of things already.
he taught me SMTP math stuff LOL :D
one thing I realised about Friends for Sale:
it teaches people to treat others as a means to an end! :P
probably it isn't a good game after all~
ahahas. KI people will understand this more.
It is 63 days to promos. Jiayouus! :D

Xsite Finals was great :P szh was sick though - so he didn't go in the end =( the organizers didn't allow us to substitute Jay into the team, so it was quite a blow for us. Yeah - so in the end we didn't win - RJC and Dunman High beat us. Means Hwa Chong now needs to make up for a score deficit in NIC.
Chemistry class test was okay. It wasn't counted anyway. At least I got a decent looking score. Lecture test coming up on Monday, so shall continue to study for Chemistry :X PW is being a bane in this period of time. Rahhs.
It is 64 days to promos. Jiayous! :D
