In about 25 hours time, i will be flying off to Sydney~~~away from Singapore for about 5 - 6 days. Not really for holidays, but for an educational trip, which means, more learning, less shopping. The learning part would be through dialogue sessionssssss which we are having it for most of the days. As we are told, it's dialogue session, so we should be asking questions and not staring at the lecturer and STONE. We need to COMMUNICATE with the lecturer, give him or her acknowledgement by NODDING OUR HEADS. This is a big different from what we have in Singapore, will definitely give me a new experience. I just have to treat this trip with the correct mindset - learning, so that i can benefit as much as i can from it. Just hope that everything will go on smoothly....... This trip is a bit troublesome, as we the outfit we wear must be something presentable as we are meeting important people for dialogue session. Therefore, we cant really wear T-shirts (which i think is the most comfortable to wear when we go overseas) but have to wear blouse? Or just something not that informal. I really dunno. Worst still, we are going for a theatre performance in Sydney Opera House, so need to wear something smart and formal. With clothes that are smart, we definitely need to wear a shoes that goes well with it. Hence, for this trip, i need to bring another shoe just for the theatre performance. Troublesome right? No choice....i still remember the time i went to Vietnam, i just throw all my T-shirts, shorts and jeans in the luggage and everything is settle. But this time, i need to think whether this or that is presentable and blahblahblah............. I am more or less settle with the packing, just hope that the weather in Sydney would be good and fine. If it's shower and wet, it will definitely dampen the mood to have fun. Went to check just now, the weather there would be cloudy and wet for the next few days, hope it will improve.

Oral Presentation
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
About my OP, i did my best! I didnt forgot my script and i didnt stuck during my speech which normally happen to me when i rehearse and i will try to hide it. BUT there's one thing i made a mistake.......AT THE START......
I'm the first speaker, so i need to introduce my other speakers and what they are going to share about in their speech. I need to rememebr who to point and what they are going to say, so when introducing to the LAST speaker......my actual script was: .....and lastly, Yeo Kiat Ni, our last speaker, will be covering on the sustainability and end this presentation with a conculsion.BUT i said this ALOUD instead: .....and lastly, Yeo Kiat Ni, our last speaker, will be covering on the sustainability and conclude this conclusion with a conclusion. I was shouting inside my heart: OMG like mad. NO CHOICE! Got to move on......dunno what the hell i was talking. Thinking that people might not realise what i had said.....but i was wrong, 2 of my members repeated what i said to me when the whole thing end. They heard it loud and clear, so will the assessors.....haiz....conclude this conclusion with a conclusion?!?!?!? What is this???????????? =/

NO MORE PROJECT WORK!!!

I had my Oral Presentation (OP) today. It's the 1st day for this exam and is also my last day for PW. Actually not really, still have a little bit more to go, Insights and Reflection (I&R). Really happy that PW is over!!! But seriously, i think the OP period is the best among this PW period. Maybe because there is not much of work to do, mostly working on oral. Also, there isnt much lessons to attend and take note, just need to improve on OP skills, which is something that is so much easier then writing all the reports. Just need to overcome FEAR and PRACTICE. I had a lot of fun during the practicing of OP. I think the OP period is the part that i like the best for PW. That's the 1st time for me to say i like PW, not the whole thing, but just the OP part. Haha..... Just a few weeks ago, i noticed this Korean band - SHINee (pronounce this as shiny), consists of the leader Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho and Taemin. Nice names. Really. I was so FASCINATED by them. They are very young, youngest is just 1 year younger than me, while the eldest is 4 years older than me. The fact that they are very young and be able to dance so well is the fascinating part. They are so successful. Not only can dance but also sing very well, for the main vocalists, i not too sure about the others. I am so addicted to their songs, though i dun understand the meaning, but i really LIKE and LOVE the rhythm. I suddenly have this urge to learn the Korean language. Also, i dunno why, for some of their songs, when i first listen, it's still okay, or not really that nice. But after watching their MV for the respective songs, I LOVE IT!!! Maybe it's the visual aid......but i dun really find myself liking a chinese song after watching the MV. Weird. Now, even my desktop background is a picture of the whole band. Haha..... Let me show you some of the MVs that i am FASCINATED with. Haha..... Replay
Replay (dance version)
You're like Oxygen (Love like Oxygen)
You're like Oxygen (Love like Oxygen)(dance version)
A.MI.GO
I like the way they shift themselves around, it's very neat. Also they can join back into the dance naturally. Have this urge to learn how to dance.....just like after watching 一支独秀 and 撑腰 by xiaozhu luo zhi xiang.

Promos results are out, most of my results are disappointing, only a few that i am happy with. But i at least, I THINK, i am able to get promoted to J2.
Never mind about the results, come to think that i am able to go Sydney without any worries, it makes me feel so excited. Before going this trip i need to check my blood group and to get the flu jab. I went for the blood group test on friday and got the result today. But i think i will not go that clinic (clinic B) anymore because of the doctor and their way of doing things. I went to check whether can i have a blood group test at clinic A at night and they said they do provide the service, just that is better to withdraw the blood in the morning so that they can work on it and not put it overnight. So i went to clinic B to ask the same thing again. Clinic B said they do provide and can withdraw my blood immediately. At that point of time i didnt think much so went in to withdraw my blood. The doctor withdraw my blood and asked me to hold onto the cotton on the wound. So i did. And you know what he did? He passed me a plaster and said in a few minutes i can remove the cotton and put on this plaster. WTH? Me? Me putting the plaster on my elbow part with a wound and no one is helping me? What kind of doctor is this? Is not as though there are patients waiting outside to get treated......there's not a single soul outside waiting. Haiz.....still charge me $15 for it.....qinning had her blood group test for just $10.
Monday is my A level Chinese paper. I hope this is the last time i will have to do a Chinese paper and get an A. Please, i dun want to be like O level like that, get A2. Though is still an A, but is like hanging there, not high nor low, making me frustrated. PLEASE. HIGH 'A' FOR CHINESE.

Update
Thursday, October 8, 2009
Finally here to blog, didnt blog for quite some time. You can see the date of my last post. It was so long ago. Anyway, dun think i will blog so much now, there's simply no time. JC life is so hectic.....
I thought i will still be able to manage school work in jc when i was choosing my school, but i was WRONG. Not only am i finding it difficult to cope, i just have no idea to deal with it....SO different from secondary school. The problem is that we end school LATE. VERY LATE. With my combination of subject, the timetable is the worst you can get. I am really glad i didnt got in to AJC, if not, i will be dead by now. For now, i am suffocating, struggling.
Promotional exams just ended. I can have a short break, but i dun really feel good. Knowing that my results are going to be disappointing........i just cant imagine it. What most people in JC1 hope now is to get promoted........be it borderline or not, at least get promoted and move on, not wasting one more year, though i agree that is better have a good foundation. I am scared, just like taking my O level results. The physics paper was a disaster for me during O level, but there's a miracle, or should i say they marked down. Are there any more miracles? Well, i cant depend on that too. Whatever effort i put in will be reflected on my results, i cant change anything. Again, i just dun have the TIME to study and finish revising for my promos. For those i finished, some are just flipped through, get the main idea, not in depth enough to get myself prepared for promos. I wanted to revise during the September holidays, but just no TIME. I need to do tutorials - since the teachers having teaching the syllabus, revision packages. How to revise thoroughly? Furthermore, i just cant imagine they finishing teaching the JC1 syllabus during the last week of school and promos starts immediately the following week. Plus, no study leave, just gave us two consultation days. Maybe i really dunno how to manage my time well. But what i can say is that i really didnt waste any time doing something that is not important. *sigh* No wonder people always say secondary school life is the best. I agree with that totally, especially the last 2 years.
