hey... a really really BIG thank you to all 33 of you, who made my last 2 years in rv a fantastic one. ok, that's a gross understatement. therefore i shall give each of you a personalised comment. of course, it isn't very detailed cos this is the class blog after all! [i'm very sorry it turned out this long]
i know it's cliche and all, but this really is the last lap. i hope all of us will do as well as [if not BETTER!] than our MODERATED prelims. JIAYOU!
#02 ying2
lame. first thing that comes to my mind is that you're very lame. i mean, who on earth [you, duh] will pop something like "do you know cockroaches can swim?" out of the blue?! thanks for being reg #02, and my in-front-tablemate!
#03 mer-paper-fish
hmm... 4 years in rv with you and i still haven't really found out how to get along well with you. jiayou for Os!
#04 chrystal
hey! chairperson! although only for a year and a term lah, but thanks! [really not easy leh] my diagonal-tablemate for a term. actually i don't know you very well lah, because we seldom talk alot. you prob have alot more to talk with jingni than me...
#05 debbra
over-achiever! the part about my friendship with you i remember most vividly are the nights we spent before exams burning the midnight oil, esp for ss. and then you're this figure whom i really want to compete with, therefore i can safely say you're one of the reasons why i was so motivated to study. so, yup, thanks! hopefully i won't miss you cos we'll end up in the same school (:
#06 e.t.
don't have much impression of you... err... to me, you've always stuck with farhanah, nat etc so i don't know you very well... sorry >.< OH YA! your results are GOOD lah! jiayou! and i hope you retain your out-of-this-world unique personality!
#07 farhanah
english & humans pro. i mean, really very pro. how do you write such pertinent stuff?!?! and your humour, too! umm... nothing much to say to you >.< i loved your english speech! the one that xina read today. jiayou with your humans scholarship!!
#08 janice
hey! duck-rice-stall-1-chilli lover! first thing i want to say is jiayou for Os cos i BELIEVE you can go RJ de! don't let whatever you see in your report book discourage you ok? you're a really great friend. i don't know why, but i feel very comfortable talking to you. and thanks for listening!
#09 julia
jiayou! don't give up on yourself, because no one can help you if you do. [dunno how to do can always bug jinni]
#10 huimin
"you're insufferable," says the one who scored top in level for lit.
i beg to differ. YOU are insufferable, because how else would you describe a person who gets perfect score for essays [even the hardest ones that weren't meant to be chosen at all] and scores 19 for a poem chosen ONLY due to a lack of time?! your bickering with kaijun AND XINA, are hilarious. how you guys manage to keep on a straight face is really a wonder. you can get your single digit de, jiayou!
#11 CHEN!
weird. i like you alot but i have nothing to say to you. except that you have BIG hands so you don't have to slit between your fingers like mozart had to. don't be too upset over prelims. Os are what's impt. (:
#12 xiwen
apart from the fact that you love korean stuff and colour-penciled rainbows, i don't know much about you at all. oh yes, and you're a VERY good imitator of others!
#13 zijing
umm... not very close to you, so except that you're a chinese pro [who sings out of tune :P] i don't know much about you. and you're really funny in your own way! good luck for Os!
#14 nat
i love the wired name you made. very nice (: thanks for tolerating the notes jingni and i kept passing to and fro!
#15 shiyan
cca mates for 4 years. your contagious bouts of laughter and sneezes and everything else i learnt about you when we were diagonal-mates are truly unforgettable.
#16 tiffy
your drawings are cute. ok, i'm sorry you're constantly on the receiving end of my very lame [sometimes to the point of cynical] comments. you're a very great friend lah, i love you <3
#17 mavis
umm... nothing much to say to you. i remember you were our classchairperson with peiqi in sec 3. not much impression of you otherwise. sorry...
#18 siewhwee
hmm. manuka honey lover, and my table-mate for 1.5 terms. don't sleep so much in class ok? jiayou for Os!
#19 pearlyn
left-hander. GREAT artist. i love your works lah, esp your handwriting. which is why you always end up being the scribe for our group works :P
#20 xina
absolutely chatty and hilarious person. thanks for your witty and humourous inserts into our otherwise boring classes. [but i'm really sorry you can only entertain 4J, if mdm chia is to be taken seriously :P]
#21 huaypeng
tablemate for this last term and i feel we haven't known each other very well [but certainly better than before] i love your red sotong! jiayou for Os! (:

#24 jocelyn
fellow chess player! extremely dramatic and self-proclaimed genius! good luck for everything you do (:
#25 zixi
umm. we sat together for like half a term. don't know much about you, so i don't have much to say... sorry >.<
#26 peiqi
don't waste food! and jiayou for everything you aim for!
#27 mel
i knew you through ying2, if my memory didn't fail me. really enjoyed discussing maths qns with you these past few weeks. (:
#28 renzhi
umm... no one thing you need to do is improve your handwriting lah. don't have much to say to you, so all the best!
#29 xianghui
tablemates for a term. you, me, shiyan, ying2. i really enjoyed that term ALOT. thanks! (:
#30 jiayi
err... the one vivid impression i have of you was when you flipped the ruler into your own face. ok, i admit i don't know you at all. sorry!
#31 hendy
hey! have you ever seriously considered working in the media as a stand-up comedian before? because given your body's flexibility and your humour, it really isn't too difficult to qualify! and not to forget the balloon craze you started! thanks alot for injecting fun and humour into 4J :D
#32 alex
umm... good luck for Os and whatever you do!
#33 woonshin

PRELIMS ARE OVER
Hello all, prelims are over, thank goodness!
I was surfing the web and I came across a video of Miss Teen USA-South Carolina's answer during the contest, which is hilarious. And also very pertinent to our already-over oral exam: Never go off-tangent and start babbling, making everyone watching/listening go "Whuh?" If you do, try a winning smile.
Incidentally, she looks a bit like Britney Spears...?
Oh yes, and I would also like to ask what is the proper pronunciation for Iraq? Haha.

Paulo and Chuck
Heyyyy humans!
Farhanah asked for me to do a book review on the 4J blog again so here I am!
Read Paulo Coehlo's books. They're good. :D His stories are not really very heart-pumping, dramatic action filled (haha see I listen in english class) BUT you get this warm fuzzy feeling when you read them.
And I'm not just talking about The Alchemist, although that's probably the best starter since it's a popular bestseller. I do believe he has a new book called "The Witch of Portobello" and I think it has nothing to do with enchanted mushrooms, so it makes for safe reading.
I've personally read The Alchemist, Veronika Decides To Die, The Fifth Mountain, Eleven Minutes and I was halfway through The Zahir before my sister decides to take away my reading rights by bringing the book to America. ):
I can't remember much about Eleven Minutes, though. Does anyone else experience memory loss when you get through a thick book? Like Harry Potter and the HBP. I can't remember anything except the ending, climatic part. Ehehehe.
In accordance to my sister's words, she told me that a particularly interesting part was when some dude buttered his toast and it landed buttered side up.
As you know, buttered toast always lands buttered side down, so he was really amazed and he went to tell everyone about how this miracle happened, and they went off to see the village old man who was omniscient and wise and all that.
The next day, the old man told him that the toast lands as it should, he just buttered it the wrong way.
HAHAHA.
I don't know which book that one is from, probably Like The Flowing River. And my sister told me that, so don't quote me.
Yes, go read his books and fall in love with them.
I've also borrowed "Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk, who is the author of "Fight Club", which got made into a movie. Panic! At The Disco music fans might also want to know that P!ATD takes some of their song titles and stuff from his books, such as "The Only Difference Between Suicide And Martyrdom Is Press Coverage", taken from the abovementioned book.
It gets kind of disturbing, although it is really good hilarious satire. I'm only through a few pages, at the lobster part.
So okay. I'm going to do Chemistry now. What? I have nothing to say anymore, so I'm just going to say bye here. Bye.
P.S HARRY POTTER MOVIE/BOOK IN LESS THAN A MONTH!!!!
EDIT: I would like to say that Chuck Palahniuk writes excellently. But Survivor is probably not for hardcored Christians because it challenges the idea of God. It's not a book on religion (or rather, the lack of it) however, so if you've got a more or less open mind, read it! :D I love love this book for all its witty remarks.
To be honest the first few chapters were not that great for me, just more or less setting the background and characters for the story. You get to learn very interesting household skills like how to get bloodstains off fur coats and how to eat a lobster. Which is partly why I love this book.
It was only at about Chapter 30 when it started to pick up. BTW the chapters go in reverse order, so it starts with Chapter 47, so Chapter 30 isn't really very far into the book. Chuck Palahniuk's writing isn't exactly PG-13 though, in fact, it's kind of skimming the lines of M-18 or NC-16, but since we're not talking about a movie here, who cares?
I'm still not done, but I always spoil books for myself by finding out the ending. Hahaha. Bad habit. Oh well.
And quotes, one about the bloodstains and the others because I'm currently around that page. Read it and you'll know what I mean by challenging the idea of God. Then again, I think it has to be that way because the protagonist himself is quite jaded about this whole thing, but then I'm just not going to disclose who he is and why he's jaded and blah. Also because I'm so lazy that I don't want to type out this whole thing and turn it into a lit analysis essay.
"The secret is cornmeal and brushing the fur the wrong way. The tricky part is keeping your mouth shut."
"The same as if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, you realize, if no one had been there to witness the agony of Christ, would we be saved?"
"You realized the agent was right. You've never seen a crucifix with a Jesus who wasn't almost naked. You've never seen a fat Jesus. Or a Jesus with body hair. Every crucifix you've seen, the Jesus could be shirtless and modeling designer jeans or men's cologne."
Though the last quote is kind of pushing it because Jesus must have been emaciated after being locked up and all that. Love the body hair part, though.

Many greetings from a land far far away
Hi handsome dudes and pretty dudettes and respected English teacher!
I bring you all greetings from a land far far away!
It's called China!
Land of the good food!
So yes this post actually has another reason for being here. I would just like to say that I CAN'T GO FOR THE COMPULSORY CIP HENCE IT IS NOT COMPULSORY FOR ME.
And I will also miss the prelim orals because I will be in China until the 23rd.
Alternatively, maybe the school can send me the topic and I will happily record my reply in cassette tape formatafter I'm done preparing and FedEx it over.
Do I need to bring any proof? Boarding pass, etc. etc.? D: Let me know!
Also, please don't reply to this post because my connection is very screwy and it doesn't allow me to view LiveJournals, Blogs, or generally any online diary thing. So I can't view my own blog!D: !Ultra-sadness! I can't view comments as well. How did I see the posts for this blog, then? Well, there is something called Edit:Posts in the Dashboard. ;D
I can only post, which is why I am posting to tell Mr Faizad and Farnie. So yes, I have an excuse for creating this attention-seeking post.
Okay? Okay. Also, I can't find Zijing's DVD cause I can't find a DVD shop, which is super weird. But I think (I hope) I'm going to the city quite soon, so it remains to be seen. Just in case, tell Zijing not to get her hopes up please. : D

CIP
hey people I have excellent news for all of you!
I am hereby giving all of you the opportunity to put 6 hours of your horribly hideous lives to good use by joining in this COMPULSORY cip project that will take place next Thursday. 21/06/2007 from 10 am to 4pm.
It's a class initiated CIP so all of you have to turn up, rain or shine. It will probably be at this place - National Office, 254 Outram Road, Singapore 169051.
Please do not let the oral examination dampen your spirit of generosity and kindness, though I myself got into a minor state of convulsions when I saw that the orals will be one day before our CIP.
Given that this is a democratic society, I am officially giving all citizens of 4J exactly 20 hours (from time of posting), to voice out any excuses that have to offer so that they might not be able to go for this CIP.
Being the kind CIP rep that i am, I have told the coordinator that only about 28 people will be attending this CIP. So 6 of you lucky souls out there have the blessed chance to skip this CIP.
These 6 places will be filled on a first come first serve basis, so if you have an excusable reason, please leave a comment here or send me an sms.
Remember, at 2.15pm tomorrow I will send an e-mail to the coordinator for a final confirmation. So please pass the message on to all of your friends and see if they can make it. A gentle reminder - IT'S COMPULSORY
Good luck to all of you for the oral examination. I sense impending doom for all of us.

SEC 4 PRELIM EL ORAL EXAM 2007
Dear people (most of whom I have not seen for more than a month),
Heard of the saying "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"? Anyways I think we can all attest that it doesn't apply in this case.
I hope you have had some time to truly enjoy what essentially is your last holiday / long break before the dreaded 'O' Level exams. Remember to recharge, and come back re-energised and more focussed for Term 3.
At the risk of contradicting myself, I hope you have not forgotten your holiday homework. No referencing on the first day of school ok? I also hope that you have been in constant contact with the language. (reading the English papers / watching the English news / watching English movies, et cetera).
I am also posting your Prelim Oral Exam schedule here for your reference. Please help to remind one another about your exam dates. I believe Ms Choong has spent quite a considerable amount of time training you for the Oral exam - so do not let her efforts go to waste. Put into practice what you have learnt and try your best ok?

Rainforest destruction
I just heard on the radio news that hallelujah, 72% of Indonesia's rainforests are already gone.
I should probably come off as being really sick for saying this, but I hope humans die already because I think Earth is getting kind of tired of us and if we don't do anything about conservation, we're probably going to die anyway.
No, seriously. I hope the Ice Age will come, then no matter how many logs you burn, it can't save you! (: So burn away, my good, totally inconsiderate Indonesians!
From "The Curious Incident of a Dog In the Night Time", Christopher said, "And then all humans will be extinct except for people like me."
(No, I'm not curious enough to search the entire book for that quote, it's from my friend who studies that book for lit.)
I hope humans become extinct, though I would like to be one of them.
Because I think being around people like me 24/7 will drive me positively insane.
Then I'll have to launch myself into outerspace.
I should probably come off as being really sick for saying this, but I hope humans die already because I think Earth is getting kind of tired of us and if we don't do anything about conservation, we're probably going to die anyway.
No, seriously. I hope the Ice Age will come, then no matter how many logs you burn, it can't save you! (: So burn away, my good, totally inconsiderate Indonesians!
From "The Curious Incident of a Dog In the Night Time", Christopher said, "And then all humans will be extinct except for people like me."
(No, I'm not curious enough to search the entire book for that quote, it's from my friend who studies that book for lit.)
I hope humans become extinct, though I would like to be one of them.

And just something to cheer you people on for the exams! (:

Mid-years luck.
Hello one and all! I'm blogging from my ultra fantastic Vista lappy.
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
Okay, ultra obvious boasting aside, good luck for mid-years everyone!
Why is the timetable always sostupid odd? I mean HELLO, maths paper 1 on Monday and maths paper 2 on THURSDAY?
Why can't they just use the "Primary School" system of having one subject per day? It's so horribly confusing to be studying science and humanities at the same time. One moment we're talking aluminium, and the next we're talking British Welfare State.
Haha I'm such a whinerrrr. I wish I wasn't so easily distracted.
Like now.
I bet you didn't know, but I WAS revising SS.
Hurrah!

One cone per person, while stocks last!
Free Cone Day was first celebrated back in 1979 in the first Ben & Jerry's scoop shop - a dilapidated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, USA. Ben and Jerry had been scooping ice cream for a year and decided to reward staff and customers in the best way they knew how - by serving up a tasty tub of thanks free to everyone. An instant success, Free Cone Day has now been scooping up free cones for over twenty-five years and has raised tub loads of money for charity too.

Chickens and T-rex
For those who have been reading The Straits Times, you will notice an article stating that the T-rex and the chickens are DISTANT COUSINS!
Which makes you wonder... HOW ON EARTH DID THEY GET SO SMALL?! A long time ago, i watched 'Walking with dinosaurs', and i certainly don't remember the T-rex being so small! And unless my memory is failing me, the T-rex was green or brown or some dull colour and NOT COVERED WITH FEATHERS! Which reminds me of the point of this entry.. I thus conclude that T-rex was once covered with feathers! No more T-rex looking like lizards! T-rex shall be animated to look like brown(or black) chickens covered with many many many feathers!
But honestly, why is it their turn to be eaten now?
