Hardwork Pays Off.

i've been studying quite hard recently, compared to the sloppiness in term 2 that ended with a 44. 80% for math msa, not bad compared to the S in jct. i will start scoring the As that i should be getting, during the mile.stone.assesment and of course promos, and leave for vietnam happily.aiming for 60 points for promo, and at least C for every subject.

update

back from another camp again.tired as usual. but this time its not as demanding, got pizza for dinner, games and such and ZERO pushups. did some local cip with the vietnam peeps, at the Kreta Ayer Senior Activities Centre. the elderly there were friendly and each has a story to tell.i think we were quite welcome there, although the programme was quite messed up.but not bad, and i made new friends, and know the usual people better.

im looking foward to the vietnam trip =)

Knockin on Heaven's Door, Civil War

Have been back listening to the old guns n roses again.still loved their songs, and the solos, and the crazy vocals of Mr. Axl Rose. knockin on heaven's door, sweet child, jungle, civil war , you could be mine. what could be better than this, i mean the real rock music.Slash, Matt Sorum, Dizzy Reed, Duff and the wonderful background vocals.this is the rock culture that we should know, not some bullshit MCR,Greenday.listen to those rubbish and you get shit in your brain.


Appreciate and rock on. Legends are not a everyday thing.

new lens

toying around with my new tamron 17-50mm lens to fit the nikon D200.here are some samples

got rather motivated to study recently, at the same time being involved in all sorts of stuff...medical appts, ocip meetings, cca and all other crap.leave just so little time to take good care of myself. missed the extra chemistry turorial today to come home to rest.headache, cough and all sorts of illness came crawling on me. life's getting rather insane, but i think it is about 8 more weeks to the promos.study hard now, rather than regretting later.

OCIP CAMP-Crossing Borders, Touching Lives

the ocip camp 2008, im shortlisted for it.so i spent 24hours of my life on this torture camp.

arrived in school at 5 plus in the evening after the student council commendation at the St Andrew's Cathedral in the morning.although this camp is quite short, i dont know why my bag is still so heavy.spent the day doing ice-breakers,typical of camps.i think the group is rather outgoing and fun,and smart.then went on for the station games.these games were designed for us to work as a team.there was a fire drill as expected, they woke us up at 3plus or 4plus in the morning for this. i thnk i should not talk about the activities too much, but the lessons learnt.

i felt now, i know better how to listen to others, work with people, speak up, ask, think creatively, tolerate, endure, care for others.even if im not shortlisted for the OCIP trip this year, i gained new experience, and have a slightly changed perspective from the camp.

update

don't know where to start from, its been so long since i last updated.the june common test was rather shit i think, didnt meet my expectations, maybe i should rethink and plan out my new strategy to score the As in promos which is not so far away.school's been rather boring for me, getting very busy with this and that.busy with work,ocip,cca,and podiatry, physio and consultation,pw,study.the tv and computer are foreign now, got zero-time for them.

college day went past rather quietly, the carnival wasnt as good as expected,compared to the one in vjc which i helped my sister a few years ago.only thing that i remembered vividly was the Haunted House.cos me and few friends (all guys) went in and just screamed around.when we came out, jason told me the girls outside waiting were saying "my gosh!even guys are screaming, must be damn scary..."it gave us quite a good laugh tho.

for ocip, im the only one shortlisted in the class for the camp.luckily, some of my other friends were selected too.at least im not alone.but its time to make more friends, i feel my social circle in school is not very big.
