sorry for reminding everyone
but its less than 2 weeks before BCME people will take their first exam
12 years of your hard work cumulating to this
don't let it go to waste eh?
work hard people
work hard play hard, just don't burn out
its like the last 400m of your 2.4km run
its like the last match of your sports competition
its like the last week before your PW OP
basically, you have felt the same stress before
I am sure you would have felt equally stretched as now, you might say you weren't but then you would most probably be fighting tooth and nail for every second of time
so yes
what I am saying is that, everyone has had that experience before
so basically,
try your best, and do a good job of your 12 years

was conversing with pearlyn about perspectives:
pearlyn says (11:36 AM):
like you know, taking t-section and l-section of cells and seeing different things
(: ✰ 汇敏. kvn is .. reminiscing, and he needs mh gold =/ says (11:36 AM):
oh
pearlyn says (11:36 AM):
gosh that sounded nerdy
(: ✰ 汇敏. kvn is .. reminiscing, and he needs mh gold =/ says (11:36 AM):
nice metaphor
aiyo
why you think its nerdy
pearlyn says (11:36 AM):
nerd what!
and not metaphor
got "like" so simile
(: ✰ 汇敏. kvn is .. reminiscing, and he needs mh gold =/ says (11:36 AM):
lol
ok fine
pearlyn says (11:37 AM):
(: ✰ 汇敏. kvn is .. reminiscing, and he needs mh gold =/ says (11:37 AM):
what's wrong with the nerd thing anyway?
the core thing you want to send is a message
pearlyn says (11:37 AM):
(: ✰ 汇敏. kvn is .. reminiscing, and he needs mh gold =/ says (11:37 AM):
and the message's sent
perfectly
pearlyn says (11:37 AM):
correct
(: ✰ 汇敏. kvn is .. reminiscing, and he needs mh gold =/ says (11:37 AM):
and understood
pearlyn says (11:37 AM):
haha, but so BIO!!!
(: ✰ 汇敏. kvn is .. reminiscing, and he needs mh gold =/ says (11:37 AM):
and the receipient's impression of you havent changes
na bio so what
i find learning all these stuff also makes you able to craft out more of such "similes" ?
=/
why not
pearlyn says (11:38 AM):
hahah, kevin, you're so cute
(: ✰ 汇敏. kvn is .. reminiscing, and he needs mh gold =/ says (11:39 AM):
maybe overusage will be nerdy
but once in a while
haha
pearlyn says (11:39 AM):
HAHAH
(: ✰ 汇敏. kvn is .. reminiscing, and he needs mh gold =/ says (11:39 AM):
well
most of the quoted text that we use
are from nerdy scientists
(: ✰ 汇敏. kvn is .. reminiscing, and he needs mh gold =/ says (11:40 AM):
like Einstein who dropped out of sch, supposedly have his trademark hair, and came up with far more nerdy stuff that perpetuated even more nerdy stuff
pearlyn says (11:41 AM):
true!
(: ✰ 汇敏. kvn is .. reminiscing, and he needs mh gold =/ says (11:41 AM):
and thanks to nerd
we have computers and stuff =D
nerds ftw
pearlyn says (11:41 AM):
yea
(: ✰ 汇敏. kvn is .. reminiscing, and he needs mh gold =/ says (11:41 AM):
ok dont bring in the GP question of "Science/tech raises more problems than benefits"
=/
pearlyn says (11:42 AM):
nerds taste nice

enlistment :O
Oh wow, its the pink slip! No, not retrenchment letter, but rather enlistment notice from MINDEF.
:O
Geez, apparently I am going to spend my January 2010 slacking away because I will only be able to hold the SAR21 rifle in February. So yes, anyone wants to come with me to witness my rite of passage?
Apparently I can bring only 5 family members/friends because "there's not enough space". Mmm
So what am I going to do on January then? Part-time gift wrapper? or administrative work? lol
edit:
ITS IN!

bio rocks
oh my, i saw this.. and after pondering for a few minutes decided that it is too juicy to be left as an msn nick
"kvn has shocking news. Bio accounts for 49% of our TOTAL acad spending in J1/2, disregarding chem black market"
of course, its mine. because the treasurer me just spent 3 hours crunching up numbers?
and one has to ponder that our bio is still one of the lousiest =O
why chem black market?
Chemistry dept collects money independently from the traditional class fund, just like what a black market does, they collect money right from the people. yea and it so happens my class has a mafia leader controlling this black market of brain-frying chemical goods :P
( haha lots of personification involved, ask if dont know :) )

bloody shit
the only word you know about me is "zombie"?
you think you don't fare any better than me in terms of being "zombiefied"?
both of you, day after day, also tired and weary
sometimes don't even know what you all are doing
tell me to sleep early when you dont
tell me to make proper decisions when sometimes you don't even make any good ones
tell me i am a lousy decision maker when I was having your interest at heart
what is this seriously?
If I am really "zombiefied", do you think I can still properly think or walk?
What's wrong with waking up early to do my work, you tell me every second is precious. I am doing so, and you still put me down.
It seems that all you all are good at is putting me down.
Constantly questioning what I am doing.
Yes I know you are worried, but hello? Look at who you are speaking.
Evidently you all don't know the age you live in, you think hardcore mugging and plain copying will save the day?
You think just doing and doing will help? PSLE is unlike A levels ok?
I know I may sound naive or stupid, but haven't you been so too?
I think its time you all have to reflect upon yourself
I know I am given autonomy and space, and I am using them well in my own opinion
I know you have high expectations/hopes on me
I know you are heavily pressured by work-related stress
But don't you think, its high time you all reflect on yourselves?

flunked
Yes, my grades really fumbled. Ah crap damnit.
Anyway when I received chem today I was like furious. Wanted to rant, rant and rant. But I think after a day, the mood has evidently lightened up. The words later are much less angrier, and more consoling. But anyway, to those who don't want to read a rant, please close the window now. Especially those who might be affected. Remember, this is what I think, in my own perspective.
what the shit, as in seriously what the shit.
all my grades are slipping,
I have certainly made NO visible improvement at all la for the prelims
Kevin Seng what have you done all these while,
Slacking, goofing around before prelims?
What's the problem with you man.
All your traditional strongholds in Chemistry and Mathematics - they have crumbled and cracked!
No, dont bother with moderation, just look at your raw results, is this what you should be getting?
Your parents are dead worried, and place so much faith in you for your grads,
Not only them your teachers, and even yourself
and screwing up is how you repay them? for the freedom they have offered you unconditionally?
this is seriously ridiculous - i have darn no discipline at all. yes, playing games whenever you can? how about not being focused on your work.
actually I don't think that's the main problem
I think my head is glued to the freaking ceiling
Too stuck up there, maybe.. complacent, overconfident.. what else
Shit, kevin you have to like buck up.
You know your aim, you have your aim, now you must do things towards that aim
It is not difficult, but it is certainly no piece of cake.
Don't base yourself against others, base yourself against yourself... if you want an A, get an A. Ignore B, a B won't be called for.
I know some of you might say "Hey I also feel this way"
But if you have improved, good for you, like jumped from E to C or B etc. that's what I want
Its either maintain, or improve.. not deprove which is just what I did!
Its not about "f**k, missed that mark for some freaking careless"
Its "Why the hell did you deprove in the first place - careless is NOT a reason"

Prelims have ended, and GP was returned last week. Apparently many did badly, needless to say I was also one of the (unfortunate?) weak students with pathetic marks.
I shall console myself with the fact that GP in Hwachong is severely under-marked as compared to A levels, or that the marker was super strict, or maybe it was my bad day.
It is quite funny, that I am sure this is an anomaly with other subjects. Normally when one does badly at a certain subject, the general attitude towards it is proportionate to the grade obtained - which is a downward trend. But for GP, I am still very much like (in love?) it in the sense that it is one topic that we can really put our feelings when we are writing, or rather its obviously applicable. This anomalous feeling has been going on for months, and I am pretty damn sure this is an outlier in terms of the relationship between interest and grade.
Anyway, I just cut myself with a knife whilst chopping meat. A very tiny cut, but it somehow seems to act as a constant reminder of my weakness - that my overconfidence that is probably brewing inside me could be my greatest shortcoming in the incoming examination. How I link? I always thought that I could cut the vegetables/meat without hurting myself - of course without regards to the other niceties like shape and uniformity of the pieces. And now I just cut myself, which evidently insinuate (lol?) that I am hurt and that I will .... fumble.
Which I may for prelims....
