    ~Hiatus~

    Once again i put on my trademark Hiatus post.

    Yen will only be back after prelims for a VERY short time.
     
    Then i have to depart for A levels ... and then NS.... urgh...
     
    Oh well life goes on...
     
    Lets embrace it.
     
    No point wallowing in the past. (In addition some of the past sucks anyway =P)
    To reminisce poisons one's mind with nostalgia.
     
    Haha... A levels are sooo appealing to me for some reason...im actually finding the fun in doing homework... like last time. Hahaha... especially for chem and physics....
    Maths. LOL whatever. I never really liked it in the first place. =/
     
    Shall we part now till after prelims dear bloggie.
     
    =D 
     
    ~on my perlious pursuit of knowledge~

    I officially had my last tuts, lectures and whatever stuff yesterday.
    Oh well...
    Kinda weird feeling you get.
    After all it has been SOOO fast...
    haha but it has been i good one.... i guess.
     
    Although these 2 years has been a trying one.. for me.
    Ahhh.. it has its wonders and shittiness...
    I guess JC life is the most impressionable one.
     
    Good friends... nice people, not so nice people.
    Friendship bonds, occasional backstab, and queer personalities.  
    Nice celebrations....cool outings.
    Friendships forged, friendships lost, and ties that remain unbreakable....
     
    Hmm
    Its really a good-bad thingie...
    Oh well. Prelims are coming.
    No time to philo about such phenomenons.
     
    Oh and i hope the teachers loved their gifts.
    =D
     
    Back to work~
    August 23

    Your Element Is Air

    You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world.
    And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly.

    Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life.
    You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful.

    You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person.
    With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that!

    What's Your Element?
    Your Power Color Is Indigo

    At Your Highest:

    You are on a fast track to success - and others believe in you.

    At Your Lowest:

    You require a lot of attention and praise.

    In Love:

    You see people as how you want them to be, not as how they are.

    How You're Attractive:

    You're dramatic flair makes others see you as mysterious and romantic.

    Your Eternal Question:

    "Does This Work Into My Future Plans?"

    What's Your Power Color?
    Your Brain is Green

    Of all the brain types, yours has the most balance.
    You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver.
    You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns.

    You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual).

    What Color Is Your Brain?
    You Are a Purple Crayon

    Your world is colored in dreamy, divine, and classy colors.
    You hold yourself to a sky high standard, and you are always graceful.
    People envy, idolize, and copy you without realizing it. You are an icon for those who know you.
    And while it is hard to be a perfectionist, rest assured it's paying off!

    Your color wheel opposite is yellow. While yellow people may be wise, they lack the manners and class needed to impress you.

    What Color Crayon Are You?
    People Envy Your Ingenuity

    You're a person with unique ideas, big plans, and a zany outlook on life. Many people look to you for inspiration.
    People envy your creativity and "who cares?" attitude. They feel very ordinary next to you - and they usually are!

    What Do People Envy About You?

     

     

    WOAH THATS LOTSA QUIZES...

    But it was fun =D

    Ok back to MATHs... ewwww....

    Haha... chug on dearies. 
    August 16

    Aftermath.

     Ahh my dearest CT rep exploded yesterday. Hmm must be the class(oh i forgot im in it). Its tough being ct rep lar. Oh well... actually it sucks being class comm... oh well. I guess some responsibility just drives ppl nuts... esp when the class is full of restless creatures. Oh and the creatures have the tendency to be in debt... im still waiting for money... from SOME individuals. Ahhh more ppl = more disEOS = lag in everything = pissed off class comm.
     
    Ahh but nevertheless... the treasury has its ups and downs... OMG ITS ACTUALLY GREEN NOW. (green=they dun owe me money) Hahahaha.... ok i guess being treasurer is better than being ct rep. oh well (although i have to do mundane things like collect money and shop for random stuff sometimes)
     
    So now i shall extend a cyber hug to my CT rep! (Ok i actually dunno whether he will see this or not lar but oh well lets hope he sees it)
     
    *HUGZ*
     
    Kinda uneasy seeing people being out of place... not being themselves... haa... im glad that his soul has returned... at least he was his goofy self again after gp today...
     
     
    Oh and i got destroyed by the maths paper....
     
    Currently in a horrid mental aftermath. (pun intended, if you dun get it, once again you are dumb)
     
    August 15

    Jittery

     Haha i cannot believe im getting jittery the mock maths paper tml.
     
    Oh well... prolly becoz im scared over the potential massacre that might occur. =/
     
    Oh well.... nvm la.
     
    We all know how important maths is. =D
    August 14

    Hi im back ... for a while

    Haha im getting high interpreting econz theory. I think my inner-evelyn-ong is acting up. Hahaha... micro econz is fun! Macro is even more fun!!!~~~ Hahaha.... oh but the questions for macro seem... omgly tricky and full of traps lar. It seems that evaluation of the context is more impt. Mere "econz theory" like evelyn ong says.... is really sad... only 6-7 marks each. haha.. nvm lar at least i learn it now. Weeeee. Hmm applying to context is sooo lol difficult sometimes. Haha no wonder its like 5 marks for one good concluding paragraph.
     
    Bah why can't the inner saytiong in me act up. I badly need to clear my mountain of maths. (MOM) totally devastating. Ok.. at least now i know how to solve inequalities properly. Not via guess and deduction... uncertainty is just soooo scary lar.
     
    Speaking of uncertainty... physics has been ok... but the recent astral bombardment of physics papers have yet to be quelled by the noble Pao the Yen. Simply becoz there are too many of em running around.. haha... but we must thank irene for printing them and keeping faith in us.
     
    Chem is fun! In a bimbotic way... haha.. we are like playing lar. Okay.. sometimes i feel really dumb there... cuz i prolly have some messed up concepts that need to be cleared. Haha now its cleared!!!~~~~ Esp for those physical chem crap. I totally worship organic, its sooo much more digestible. (pun intended, you are dumb if you dun get it). Haha Pehling rocks!!!! =D I really wish her a happy marriage and bouncy babies in years to come.
     
    So much for my core subjects... haha for GP i believe that im more happy with comprehension... haha now i know what to do for a dreaded 3 marks... DUN BE LAZY WRITE AT LEAST 6 POINTS.... lol... totally ghey lar GP... i always wondered why a 2 mark question had such a humongous space... Looks like its not catered for ppl with gargantuan handwriting. Its for those itsybitsy sub points. Ewwww so many of em just for 2 marks. totally ewwness... But i love GP lar. It a time i can really think about issues and bitch about in my essay.
    Eg: Yes, Singapore's education system sucks, why? Cuz they produce ppl like me . LOL
     
    Oh well to everyone out there!!! brace yourselves and WEEEE soon you will notice the time will pass like you never noticed.
     
    Ok thats like totally idealistic and politically correct lar.
     
    Now for the REAL Yen message to ALL prelim muggerooos:
    YOU BETTER MUG OR YOU WILL DIE A HORRID DEATH AS OTHER PPL GET BETTER GRADES THAN U, GET INTO BETTER UNI THAN U AND THEN PWN YOU IN THE JOB MARKET. THEN YOU ZIBEI AND DIEZ. LOLZ
     
    so ppl do study. =D
     
    and have a nice day~
     
    Pao swivels back to maths.

    Studying Zzzzz

    Argh... this isn't good. I cannot seem to do my sequences and series....What a tard. Its always the first term that is easy to find... and the last term... otherwise known as Nth term. Haha... Sick.
     
    Just like series and sequences... my life is hc is more or less coming to an end (im approaching the nth term soon)... The first and last term are always the best i guess... Haha... I missed n'day celebrations for a good nights/morning sleep. Saw the pics on the class blog.. Not bad. At least the class is happy and living. Bah... once again waves of nostalgia engulfing my thoughts. ZZzzzz haha... coming to think of it... ok lar.. HC wasn't a bad choice. Hmm but i will always wonder what would have happened if i gone to Rj instead. (besides the much shorter travelling time)
     
    As i was doing econz. Haha... i saw on my lecture notes... random scribblings. These scribblings ranged from:
     
    " Guirong was here. Haha, Guirong was here again Hahaha, Muahaha"
    :))"
    " I read the brog, f the miss how"
    " i lurve econz"
     and some random paos that i drew in my notes...
     
    I also notice most of the notes are during the first 6 months or so...
     
    Haha i guess the mid-jc life just makes everyone jaded. No more random scribblings and minor amusements. (Ok maybe still have lar, but its really much lesser)
     
    Oh well...
     
    When i see these scribblings. It never fails to make me smile. Haha.... 
     
    Ahh i need to go tday shopping. Zzzzzz
     
    and SOME PEOPLE STILL HAVEN'T PAY UP....
     
    haiz... 
    August 07

    I miss CO =(

    Ahhh i was just watching some youtube CO videos... then the tunes started to sink into my head...
    ZzZzzz i guess i miss performing.
    That feeling onstage...
    Feels sooo much different from some saikang councillor. Hahaha 
     
    Soooo i searched for some CO songs that i played last time... as played along with it. HAHAHA.... damn no life. Oh but it makes me happy.

    Especially when i realise that my fingers are still as fast for some parts....and i can still play the solos and melodies. Hahaa... Oh , but i have forgotten to change key sometimes...  Not to mention, my dizi has also deteriorated in quality as the membrane is totally broken.
     
    I miss the bright lights that casts its glare upon u when you are onstage.
    I miss the freezing subzero temperatures that penetrate and numb your fingers as you play
    I miss the insightful tunes and soulful melodia
    I miss the cheena names of the songs that i play but at the same time laugh at.
    I miss the feeling of looking at countless scrutiny of the audience
    I miss the must wooden smell of my instrument
    I miss the cheena ramblings of my monkey conductor
    I miss the sectionals we had and section dinner after that
    I miss the friends i had from CO... (most are in Nj though)
    I miss the feeling of getting blasted by a suo na (chinese trumpet)
    I miss the irritation i had when i cannot attain a desired note. ( Haha also known as the gree light.. music ppl will know)
    I miss the stigma of being part of an suposedly uncool non-sporty cca
    I miss the feeling and pride of the musician.
     
    Haha... when i talk about musicians... i talk about orchestras and ensembles.... not little jamming bands and guys trying to please gals with little guiar tunes (those are condemned as commercial entertainment)
     
    Hmmm i wonder why there are people that say GUYS must join sports...while gals... have the option..
    Haha it puzzles me... cuz it seems that music gives soooo much more.
     
    Cooperation
    EQ
    Music sense
    Expression
    Rythm
    Coordination
    Tolerance to subzero temperatures (haha try staying in a 16 degree's room for 4 hours)
    Mental perserverence
    Music theory
     
    Oh well..... music RULEZ =P
     
    No offense to sports ppl. Just an appeal to sports snobs to stop disregarding the performing arts.
     
    Haha i guess most people cannot appreciate good fine art while observing people sweating it out proves to be a much more entertaining thing.
     
    No wonder singapore's art scene is sooo sad and soccer is ever sooo hot. LOL i think i hear the TCHS guys in class joke about soccer almost every other day.
     
    Whatever it is!
    People in performing arts! Props to you!
    And i still miss CO. =(
    *hugz my dizi*

    Bored about theorys

    =D
    I finally found out why the MC cuts AC and AVC at the min point.
    Haha i know some people are going to laugh at me about it. =P But at least i bother to know WHY!!!~~~
     
    After wednesday's CT session... with that guy talking about how warped and crappy our education system is... especially in the case of maths. Yikes. 
     
    Looking at it... aiyozz... i think we are in a rather bad shape...
     
    Lets see... I do my hypothesis testing by refering to the previous examples in the limited lecture notes.... mimicking the similar steps taken and robotically jotting down the steps.
     
    Just when i see some crappy question that twists the question.... i totally die and get a bad case of demoralization from math. Hahaha ok im overdoing it ... i manage to solve it SOME times.
     
    Hmmm perhaps the pedagogy is going gaga and whoopsy.

    We are doing maths becoz??? Umm.... cuz its a compulsary science subject for science students and a contrasting subject for arts students...
     
    But do we know the basis behind it?

    Hahaha... I think i dunno lehz. (ah lian tone)
     
    Quite saddening for a subject when ppl get all the right answers when they dun even know why they are doing it.
     
    Hahaha... i think some people look at econz in the same way as well...
     
    As some of my friends put it...
     
    Memorize and zham.. and get your As...
     
    Ahhhh... i totally zzzz that thought. It betrays the basis of learning. Not to mention, it saps the life out of the subject.
     
    This is not only applicable to maths but also other subjects.....
     
    Ok im prolly going to get bombarded with rotten eggs as people mock at my noble passion in the true meaning of pedagogy and learning.
     
    Bleh... ok back to my perlious journey of understanding the reason (say tiong style) of correlation and regression.

    Sore eye and blue nose

    Omg... you should never read a text book as a bed time read...
    Especially when it weighs a ton like John slomans.
     
    Apparently... i fell asleep with it.
    Erm... and it squished my nose. -.-
    And now... i wake up with a blue nose (its bruised)
    Now ppl would prolly think i have ample blackheads infestations.
     
    Oh and i have sore eye also -.- zzzz
    Must have read too much sloman in the dark.
     
    Zzzzzzzzzzz
    So much for econz.
     
     
    I should market john slomans' econz textbook as a new weapon...
    It seriously kills...
    Whether is physically due to the sheer weight of the book.
    Or mentally as it tortures poor JC students mind with its convoluted econz theory that at times doesn't make sense.
     
    I even came out with a marketing pitch for it.
     
    John Sloman : 6th edition 867 pages of pure lethal damage~!
    Get yours now!~
