THE CHORD IDEALS

bittersweet

2009-09-17T05:18:00.000-07:00

It's 18 days to EOYs.

Yes, and I can finally say to myself I'm studying hard. Hard enough, not as hard as others, but oh well - study smart, not hard? Despite only seriously starting for EOYs 3 days ago, I think what made me think (and I still do) that there is still time to study is that everyday before a test I'll be like typing out notes, so it managed to snowball quite substantially to now, I have many many notes. And they'll really work out for me to study for EOYs. But I shall read them once in awhile. HAHA, but I still haven't got any notes for new chapters (like the sciences and geography!). And I'm starting to make mindmaps... hopefully for every single chapter, I guess. 'Cos apparently mindmaps enhance your memory! And I'm starting to understand physics, which is good. EOYs in 18 days, and I know I can make it.

On a kind of bittersweet note, there's choir tomorrow, but it's the final practice until after EOYs. *sigh* Well, I'll need it to study, but I still need choir.

Okay, I need to go mug now! Bye!

Mug

EOYs in 21 days (well, in less than 2 hours it'll be 20 days to EOY). Well, doing your maths (which, in fact I haven't done), there would be practically less than 3 days for each subject. And I'm wasting my time away here! As if I could pull off a stunt like I did for other major exams. I mean, I studied for 1 week before MYEs this year. This time I really hope I could start studying like, now. But there's no motivation, really. And this could just be the trap I fall for and never be able to climb up again. Especially so because this is streaming year. AHH. I NEED TO GET MOTIVATION OR START SOME SELF-CREATED REWARD SCHEME OR SOME PENALTY SYSTEM TO GET MYSELF TO START MUGGING.

D:

on a note

2009-09-08T05:28:00.000-07:00

On a very unsure, weird and personal note:

Some things are good, so long they don't interfere with a certain something. And I think this is just me on my part.
Sometimes, people just doesn't understand any more, that what I say is more than just what it appears on the surface.

On a dreadful note:

I need to start on more revision later on. Although this might be a happy thing too. I can be happy studying too, okay!

On a happier (perhaps musical) note:

There's choir tomorrow! :D
Our D&T seems to have hope.
There's just so many things to be optimistic about! Haha!

Yeah, okay goodbye!

things that are on my mind now

2009-09-07T01:40:00.000-07:00

Well, at least they were on my mind when I wanted to blog them a few days ago...

1) The holidays are here. And this week would definitely be a great time to start mugging and completing all my notes, rushing assessments and be all ready for EOYs. But I think I need a break. A break from this entire term. I think I won't (and can't) be doing so much revision in this holidays and especially so when I turn on the net and find myself on youtube and blogs and stuff.

2) This is probably the most screwed year in my academic life. Well, kinda. Firstly, I don't understand physics almost entirely and I definitely need to by next week (Speed Quiz!). Secondly, I don't think my Chinese score will look well in my report book. Almost definitely, it will be a C. But, everything else is going fine, for now. Maths has been relatively easy (there's no algebra in 2B)!

3) I will be like going back to school for the entire of this week, every single day. Today I went back for D&T and I'll have to go back tomorrow too. I'm not even sure if our model would work or anything and I need my D&T marks to redeem my other subjects okay. Wednesday would be a very fine day to go back to school. Maths remedial in the morning and I'm not complaining 'cos I think I really need it. And in the afternoon, there'll be choir which I have missed for like 1 entire week due to debate (which I think we've kinda done rather okay in the competition, but that's beside the point) and I am like so needing to get back to choir to satisfy my need to be in choir like almost always. Although CCAs stop after this school holidays. But I guess I'd need the time too to get back to studies and then I'll be enjoying CCA time and some super great time after EOYs. Thursday, going for the ACS(I) meet thing? And Friday I'll probably finish the final segments of D&T/IT and then there's choir after that! Yay!

4) Somehow I don't know how I should say this. I just can't put certain things into words and make them sound convincing. I can no longer just rely on passion to stay happy any more and I need to start to rely on people. I have managed to, for 2 months, settle myself down. And that I think I might be slipping back again. (I think I'll go nuts if this continues.) And yeah, it's like I have found direction in life and yet lost my direction in life and so many things I wish they would give me the answer. You probably won't understand this... but yeah.

5) I think I'm going broke. And I realised I'm eating too much chocolate! And then I realised (today) that people have a large appetite!

6) And I need to start doing some things I have long wanted to do. And according to the Parkinson's Law, work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. And logically, if the time for completion is infinity... work will expand to fill infinity. And thus nothing is done. Which means I have to set deadlines. And really soon. It would be really helpful to get some things done right now.

7) Nothing else right now, I guess. Shall be off... procrastinating.

change change change

2009-08-24T07:51:00.000-07:00

I am guessing no one reads here any more. Not that it does matter.

Week 9. It's going to be a busy week. By the short span of today, I handed in LA poetry and completed the CE project thing. There will be two concerts to attend tomorrow. Wednesday I have a Geography test. Thursday a Chinese Test. Friday a Poetry test. And probably a speed quiz this Friday? And I think Chinese ATT too. Wow.

I think I'm feeling very lost now. I just realised that so much has changed. Things change so often. In fact I'd wish that some things didn't change and remain the same. Hmm. Ahh.

Okay. Think I'd be off now. Bye!

my random thoughts

2009-08-17T07:29:00.000-07:00

I need to say some things o.o (in point form):

I found out the "resonance" of the corridor outside our class! O:
I realised, when I got home, that blue is really a colour representing tranquillity. After realising so many things in my room are blue and that the sky was blue. The temperature was just right. No lights on. Around 5pm. And it felt good. Tranquil.
I finished my Language Arts poem!
I know I still have a lot of work to do (E.g. Character Ed, Maths Test, LA Biography, D&T, Geog Test, and a worrying EOY-is-in-48-days nightmare)
I shall be doing Maths ATT tomorrow
I really love this quote: "I won't let schooling interfere with my education" by Mark Twain. It just reflects how schooling really doesn't give us the "ideal" education. And that real education, you have to do it yourself.
I think I eat too much during recess (because it's 1 hour!)
I need to find purposes for certain things.
I also need to find an outlet for certain stuff.
I want to sleep before 11pm tonight.

Yeah. The whole list probably won't interest you so... yeah.

Goodnight! =D

question mark

2009-08-15T07:03:00.000-07:00

I really don't know what to say.

I spent minutes, thinking what I should write, whether I should. But I just don't know what to say, and how I even feel. Sometimes I really wish there was someone I could talk to.

quick bites

2009-08-08T09:14:00.000-07:00

Just something quick.

Happy National Day, Singapore! :D
I think I'm ill! D:
I am re-reading The Alchemist! O:

That was fast!

this week's summary

2009-08-07T08:01:00.000-07:00

Hello, and it's August *in some Slovakian accent*! The highlights for the week (or at least what I could remember) are:

Graduation Party. Probably it was a bit rushed? But still... It probably was a success (to a certain extent?) Yeah... was a good day! Then... Comm Outing @ Marina Barrage! Haha, guess it was fun. But I won't elaborate more (lazy).

And oh yes, National Day! Is it that we did sing the National Anthem and recite the Pledge louder, or is it just me? It's like... that feeling of patriotism. Like how it's supposed to be. And yeah, it's National Day on like Sunday! Singapore has went a long way. Haha, Happy Birthday Singapore!

Exams are coming. (I think.) And that's not very good. I hope all of us can go overseas at the end of the year (random?). Uhh, yes but exams are coming. And I don't like the sound of that... especially physics - which I almost completely do not understand, and am not revising... yet.

I think I'm going to create a new private blog for myself again (I know you think I'm nuts... cashew!).

Okay, so bye.

in eight points

2009-07-30T06:01:00.001-07:00

Really busy. Or just maybe, not wanting to update. But, really busy. In point form:

NYGH Choir is really, really, really good.
We are getting back our maths test tomorrow.
Miss Chang doesn't want to tell us our marks...
I still have maths homework to do.
We have a lot of ATTs recently.
Everyone please stay healthy and all, I'm sure we don't want to fall sick.
I will stay healthy too!
There is choir tomorrow! =D

Okay, bye!

No one likes a busy life

2009-07-19T03:17:00.000-07:00

Hello. I'm suffering from the worst load of homework/tests/projects I have ever seen in my entire memory of my life. I know I can't complain cos there are seniors busier than I am, and that it's probably due to procrastination on my part... but:

Piano Exam (21 July)
Geography Test (21 July) but I have a piano exam, so, it should be postponed
Chemistry Worksheet ( 21 July)
Chinese Spelling (22 July)
D&T Catapult Structure Thing (24 July)
Art Homework (24 July)
Maths Test (24 July)
Chinese Test (28 July)

And in fact, my life isn't that busy after all (even though I feel like I'm super under stress). And I have inter-class debate thing tomorrow, plus I still have not fully memorised In Dulci Jubilo. Not that I mind.

I hope that I can change the fate of my piano, like seriously. Bye.

my ambitious plans

2009-07-09T02:07:00.000-07:00

Today... I shall blog about my ambitious plans. I shall (ranked according to importance except for last point):

Complete Art Research
Complete both Chemistry Practical Worksheets
Understand what has been covered so far for Physics
Revise for Maths Test
Research on "Telephone Conversation"
Sleep early

It is kind of ambitious, and I hope I don't doze off (although if I do, it would be sleep early!)/ sidetrack. And due to the need to start now in order to complete, I shall not blog further. d:

i have nothing to say

2009-07-01T07:08:00.000-07:00

I will just be saying how my first three days of school were. First day was like, start of a new school life. We don't recite the Students' Creed nor sing the School Song now. And temperature taking is taking up a lot of time. The AYG thing also happened. Miss Jane Toh's is relieving Miss Yap. Maths is getting hard, and we're having a test next week. Mrs Raymond should be on LOA! So is Willianto! We have Miss Chang relieving Miss Ng for Geog. And we need to do much more for Chinese lessons now. IT lesson's hard. And yeah, Choir has always been fun. :D

And I really have nothing to say. Although I want to say so much.

i need to get out

2009-06-25T06:22:00.001-07:00

You know, I feel like one trillion times more relieved after posting at my password protected blog that even I have forgotten! (Yeah, I know I have a lot of blogs.) I think I should start blogging them more frequently. And wow, I realised I blog quite often on this blog. But I guess it won't be so once the new semester starts, yeah? It should get busier, and I should get readier to study harder and use less of the computer.

Again, I did not do anything productive today. Gosh, the holiday is like already ending. And there's like class outing on the last day of the school holidays!? Ohh, and is that supposed to be a project meeting too? Haha! Okay, yeah, am anticipating class outing day. But not really anticipating the day after! Although I'm like anticipating the whole new term, but that's after I recover the trauma that school has officially reopened (approximately 1 week).

And I just realised that I should find a day and go to every link on my blog and tag "Relink me. Thanks!" or something. Haha. Publicity.

I have nothing much to blog, so I'll blog something random. I'm having my piano exams like, in less than a month's time!? And guess what, I doubt I'd even scrape a pass! It's like my scales are... totally unremembered. And my arpeggios are like totally inaccurate, as in keep pressing the wrong keys, yeah. My first piece is... tempo crazy... always rushing. And my last page is like ruined (for now). Second piece too! I start out slow and by the end of the piece I'm like super fast. Okay my last piece is still stable. Oh my aural is like, inconsistent!? And my sight-reading totally sucks. Gosh. How am I ever going to pass. Hopefully this one month I can like improve drastically.

Okay, nothing to blog now! Shall say...

Goodbye! :D

it could be today

2009-06-24T05:18:00.001-07:00

Hello people! I just realised that my last week of school isn't that busy after all with the H1N1 thing stopping all CCAs, etc? But that doesn't mean it's productive either! In fact, apart from completing my Chinese, I have yet to do any significant stuff.

(I took a five hour pause before continuing this post I think!)

So, in fact I only have maths and physics to complete! I guess I shouldn't be able to complete physics since 99% of the stuff is not mentioned in the textbook!? Yeah, and maths, I have no interest, but will try to have it completed by the end of the holidays. *refers to Sherry's plan* Haha, and I haven't done my promised revision yet!

Oh yeah, and I have figured that, apparently I work better under less pressure! (And this has got nothing to do with being high up and getting stupider, Ruth!) Uhh yeah, so don't pressure me for anything! Haha, okay, not really. Depends on what stuff I am being pressured to do.

And recently I kept watching the History Channel! There was this one where Science proves the events of the Bible, like whether it's possible for the Tower of Babel can actually be built to the heavens, whether you can make fire with water, etc. Haha, it's kinda interesting. Haha, there were other shows too, like some chocolate show! Yeah!

And I just hope today won't just be another day that fades into tomorrow! But if today is, I hope tomorrow wouldn't. I'm forever hoping for things to happen. Uhh. Okay, I'm ending this post!

Goodnight people! :D

messy thoughts on first post

2009-06-23T08:51:00.000-07:00

Hello! A post as promised (and procrastinated for two days) on this new blog! Yeah, I think I'm kinda fickle-minded with blogs. According to my Dashboard, I have seven blogs (four open blogs, two private blogs, and one blog to test skins), plus I have two wordpress! Okay yeah, and I have a feeling I'm going to change my URL again, cos this URL is so weird and stuff! I just realised I have changed blog URLs so often!

Okay, yeah, (I'm like pressed for time since it's already 12:09am) so I forgotten what I wanted to post two days ago. Okay I remember. Firstly, I have completed my Chinese ATT! Secondly, I have started on maths homework! Thirdly, I completed FOUR physics TYS questions. And again I just realised that this is the last week of the holidays! Ahh, no extension?

Yeah, the new timetable is like super long okay. And we have IT this term! Plus we have ATS or something, yeah.

Oh, I remembered more about what I wanted to post! Yeah, there was this auntie who sells western food somewhere near my house... her memory's like super good (or is it something that every shop owner has but just doesn't "reveal"?). It's like she remembered me and my brother from our last trip to her store. Haha, seems like looks are so easy to identify, eh. But it's kind heartening to know that someone remembers you from the previous time you came!

Uhh, think I have posted kind of a lot. And I'm really confused right now! Because of somethings! And it's 12.15am already, I think I need to go to sleep and sort out my thoughts and etc. etc. (What am I talking about!?) Yeah, okay, never mind. I think I sound like an insane person on my blog, uhh. Oh yeah, relink me! (Haha, why am I saying this?)

Okay... so yeah, first post. :D
