primary school grades!
yng tyng's friend gets primary school marks for block tests which is so scary! so there's this whole buzz about how to get primary school grades for block tests and stuff like that.
well, in other things the gist of both my facebook status and msn nick is the same: it's stop being a bitter woman! have been complaining how much statistics suck i lost a grand total of 22 marks in statistics which is such a pity but not unexpected, since i was already very confused by all the distributions and probability eludes me very much and not to mention there was lack of time and panic ensued when i left half an hour for the last part so oh wells.
QGY IS FINALLY SET ON THIS SATURDAY! shit load of things to prepare and alot of homework and it's 13 weeks to alevels!

something i remembered (not a word by word quote, but the gist)
You are facing a huge mountain, the workload, the burdens that you have are looming in front of you. God did not say: close your eyes, and imagine that the mountain is not there. God said that have faith and the mountain will be moved.

I WILL NOT NEGLECT THIS HOUSE!
carm.org
szemin showed me this website on controversial issues on christianity and questions people keep posing about it, and it's a treasure trove of answers! :D the reasons why we are so insistent that this religion is crazier-ly truer than any others and things like that.
edit: slightly bipolar here cos: on one end i figured that i should not bother about people who don't bother about me - which is going to make me lose ALOT of my friends at the end of the whole thing; but on the other hand it would make me very happy if i were to spend my life investing in other people's lives, because we never know what the rewards would be building people's lives, rebuilding the house of God.

today is the tesla guy's birthday!...according to google. but anyway his magnetic field stuff made my life very miserable because it was what that gave rise to electromagnetic induction and electromagnetism, which are like what i really suck at D:
anyway i mentioned that i borrowed 3 books from the library the other day so one of them was this book called "Colour" under Basics Design Series (shion i brought it to school so you could see/i could read! but you didnt come D:) by Ambrose/Harris and this is one of the stuff it mentioned:
(on the colour black) The gravitas of black is associated with weight and solidity, as the colour offers an imposing and powerful presence. For automobiles, the advantageis that black cars are perceived to be solid and therefore safer. Conversely commercial airliners avoid painting their craft black as people would perceive the aircraft as too heavy to fly.
which i thought was quite funny?!
and yeh anyway i'm blogging on my computer which just revived itself how miraculous hahaha but my brother got this all powerful/omnipotent cpu with really good specs. which is going to replace this old man cpu which has been with me since i was p4! and he asked me if i wants like sims 3 cos now the computer and graphics are good so sims 3 wouldn't lag or something.
been thinking of my career track every waking moment of my life because it is a very distracting thought and reconsidering all my options.. it's like playing uhm singapore idol with your options or sth for example science which was out i'm considering it all over again. haha wild card OKAY BAD ANALOGY.
uhm got back chem today and that sums up my day, i'm very lethargic and restless and unsettled and lost on a friday which i can't understand why either.
oh yes anyway i havent actually finished blogging YOU KNOW what's in store for me this weekend??!!!! libo is going to get baptised on sunday yay and i'm going to complete my untouched issues and ideas cos my favourite gp teacher wants it by tuesday.
and uhm every one can go get twitter! my username is loveflight it's a contraction of "let your love take flight" at that point in time cos i think cloudberries wasn't available hurr and i'm not tweeting with anyone yet so every one can follow each other and we can uhm tweet together. and i just followed anberlin so fun HAHAHA.

Hmmm so blocks are over and so is the life of my computer ._. uh yeh hell yes both of my computers died one after another so i'm blogging on my handphone, which is very weird. Blocks has been exhaustingly long and i felt really tired yesterday.. Because i studied for 2 weeks so this study rigour has been on for like a month??! And i dont think i studied alot/very hard but i prayed much more and effort with God makes the workload much lighter (:
On the other hand computer will take 2 weeks to fix so i think that i'll get some habits away from the computer and minimise my surfing habits by using my wifi phone haha. In other news bena shion lichan and i went to vivo (good foresight evident here!!) to watch ice age 3 and i bought macarons from bakerzin cos they were like 1 for 90 cents but they all melted when i reached home )::: but the chocolate one was awesomely heavenly rich :::)
In more of other news, someone fainted during chem paper so it was quite traumatising, i never tried fainting before i always thought it's fun but i guess not ._. , the shower gel fell right into the toilet bowl after i used it argh and life goes back to the way it should be tmr. block test period was an amalgam of alot of things - CLASS BENCH ALL TO OUR OWN HAHAHA, reaching home and can still be in time for macs breakfast (::: feeling everything was a lost cause right before the paper -.- and yesterday wilson's 'how long is the paper' us replying unsuspectingly '1 hour 55 minutes is it?' before replying 'no it's 30 cm long' (...) and. Yeh that's all............. |:

ARGH I THINK I'M SICK.
i'm going through a really trying day now with very great inertia to study plus random flu that impairs my concentration and hence my judgement, which is really important to me now cos i'm trying to salvage my physics desperately. if i'm so sick i'll probably get a mc for tomorrow but at least i hope i don't miraculously become healthy tomorrow while staying sick today (...) but either way this is not exactly how i want to get past my blocks.
