of tests and... failure

i think that to measure success in jc, we have to look back at each week and see what we have accomplished and how we have done in the various subjects blablabla...

1. how much you understand the lectures in the week for PCME
2. how much you can manage do for the tutorials (PCME included)
3. how well you think you did for tests in the week (if applicable)
4. how well you actually did for tests in past weeks (if applicable)

so going by this criteria of mine... this week was basically a failure for me... a big big failure because i got 15/25 for a maths test which i thought was fricking easy... seriously man, i dont know how the hell i got 15 for such an easy test cos when i was doing the actual test i wasn't even stumped by any question at all so thats rly rly damn retarded

well though its a scraped B (i THINK its a B) it still kinda sucks cos i expected a high A... well looking at this test i realised my econs test sucked too... not to mention chem and physics but actually chem is kind of excusable cos i only had ~20 mins? for a 45? mins test but still thats kind of inexcusable

so moral of the story, or rather, the week: seriously work harder and revise EVERYTHING that i have learnt EVERYDAY

wish for today: be able to get silver for my NAPFA RETEST on thursday (fyi, i got bronze for the previous no thx to pull-ups again) please please please

life's been (kind of) good (so far this week)

so once i finished my PI, there was nothing much left to do except maybe study a lil bit for maths and... practise piano and yeah thats about it

so the european release of rock band 2 for the wii is supposedly (i think) in 1 day's time... so i think the full band set and the game should be here in 2? 3? weeks' time... but that is assuming that singapore will import the european rock band 2 for wii cos the american release was long ago

hmmm but assuming that the european release does not apply to singapore... then maybe i would buy the guitar hero world tour full set and then order 10 detarip games from online, one of which would be rock band 2 since guitar hero instruments can be used for rock band but not vice versa... hmm decisions decisions

so some things that i guess i would like right now are... (material stuff)

1. another pair of adipure 1 <-- best boots in the world since my original pair is falling apart (soon)
2. a pair of predator control as backup?
3. a new bag cos i only have one right now?
4. possibly the adiweb tights (full body) cos my mom believed the powerweb technology totally and has been bugging me to buy it to "enhance my body posture" cos my body posture erm... lets just say it isnt the most ideal
5. the A levels chem textbook by that Ramsden dude?
6. rock band 2 full set for wii
7. nothing much here... but im reserving this spot for a ps3 or xbox 360

so erm "im a man of simple taste" <--- familiar TDK quote, anyone? and um i dont actually ask for much material wealth (or is the phrase material stuff?) so yup

wish for the day: be able to do 6 pullups tomorrow so i can get gold for NAPFA (i now can do about 4 pullups already which is SILVER WOOHOO!)

hmm...

theres PI left to do and maths left to study but actually im kind of fine with maths so i think i shld be rdy for this friday's maths test... my PI was due last thursday but i managed to weasel my way out of the deadline and get an extension till tmr but the thing is, its currently 6.30pm and i havent started on my work and theres a man united match later at 10.45pm which im intending to watch so this effectively means i have 4h15mins left... so... this will be a quick post

which reminds me, i still have got piano to practise later cos i have piano lessons tmr... oh recently my neck got sprained while sleeping (very stupid) and it has this throbbing pain whenever i run so yesterday during training under the hot hot sun but speaking of soccer, i think my shooting is improving but i have to work more on my composure and long balling... and challenging for high balls so yes that shld be about it

oh and yesterday's ora was unexpectedly a success for the soccer booth and i think we earned about 400 dollars totaly which was nice... and the last thing would be NAPFA on thursday (5 stations)

2.4km: 9min42secs (already done but 100m into the first round and BOTH my shoelaces came off and also at the 3rd round theres this weird cumulation of phlegm in my chest which was pretty uneasy for me so i guess this timing shld be considered good considering my predicaments during the run)

shuttle run: 9.5s (i did this timing consistently from last year till now so i think i shld be able to do the same again)

sit-ups: 55 (lol chicken feed)

sit and reach: fluctuates between 41cm to 45cm (this is a poisson distribution, i think... but i shld get a B so wdv)

broad jump: 230+? 240+? (somewhere around there but last year i jumped 250+ so the deprovement is kind of drastic but i think this station shld be a B)

pull-ups: fluctuates from 1.5 to 2.5 (i was doing 0 in march.. but thanks to constant training i now can do a min of 1.5 or a max of 2.5... so this means that i basically pass but err... i need to work on this)

as can be seen, i get A/B for everything except pull-ups (E) so...

wish for the day: be able to do 4 pull ups by the end of the next 3 days

zzz

for the past few days, i have been sleeping for less than 5? hours per day which is retarded... however, i have managed to be early for school for the whole of this week which is a big accomplishment but wdv

so... for the umpteenth time this year, my weekends basically comprise solely of sundays but that could be a good or bad thing, depending on which week it is. so for this week, i guess its a semi-good thing... semi-good because there is only one PI draft to do for me (very very overdue) and a maths tutorial test to study for by friday so i guess one sunday should suffice

anyway, i still have piano to practise which i havent been doing for the past 3? days and i guess thats quite bad because i feel kind of guilty whenever i dont practise the piano for a day

haiz... i think i should end off every blog post with something interesting so that when i look back maybe 100 years from now, i can rmb what i was like... maybe something like a wish... okay that will be it

wish for today: i wish i could sleep all my lethargy away and feel un-sian for once in very long

a gentle reminder...

okay so this post serves as a gentle reminder for myself as to what i should do within this week or so...

1. revise chemistry (topic 1 AND topic 2)
2. attempt the chemistry tutorials
3. revise economics (topic 1 AND topic 2 AND topic 3)
4. read through the economics tutorials
5. edit the ORA posters
6. print out the ORA posters
7. put up the ORA posters all over RI and RJC
8. learn mathematics (poisson and normal distribution)
9. attempt the possion tutorial
10. finish the poisson assignment
11. complete my PI
12. make an announcement at RI by tuesday

i think thats about it...

and so...

hmm... life isnt interesting anymore especially since there is no longer anything much to look forward to...

2008 was kind of like a good year since there was lots of stuff to look forward to, like lots of football matches and competitions, the dark knight, dota during december and other nice stuff which i cant rmb offhand at the moment

2009 is, on the other hand, mundane and dull since the movies that are out or are coming out arent in the least bit nice at all so the only things to look forward to are... trainings, trainings, trainings, trainings, trainings, hanging out with friends, trainings and... trainings

seriously, even running till im 80% dead during training beats anything else that 2009 has to offer or had already offered

hi guys

hi i am currently writing a post even though no one is supposed to come here anymore (not like anyone ever did) but still...

let's make this short and sweet because i'm feeling kind of sleepy and tmr is good LAN friday so...

firstly, i think jc life sucks <-- conclusion i derived after only about 2 weeks
secondly, and fortunately, i think the study i have put in in the past few weeks have allowed me to understand everything that i should have learnt
thirdly, football is going well and i guess its the only thing i look forward to when coming to school
fourthly, i can do about 2? 3? pull-ups now so thats an improvement
fifthly, i think my adipure is falling apart and i might buy back the same adipure (one, not two) and maybe predator control
sixthly, i think i dont have much worries in my life now cos family, friends, studies and football are the only things i care about at the moment
seventhly, i hope rock band 2 comes out on the wii sooner
eighthly, its been a long time since i play any computer games
ninthly, i like listening to fort minor's where'd you go all of a sudden
tenthly, this is a really cool video -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42E2fAWM6rA
eleventhly, lastly, finally, the joker still rocks

off to sleep now...
