Hello there. I am Terry and I am a full-time undergraduate based in Singapore. I take photos, write a blog and design websites.

And no, I'm not a teddy bear.

The Last Hurdle

Approaching the last hurdle. Almost the last one. Last one for others, but not me. We will have O Level Higher Chinese next Monday, 31st October, which happens to be Halloween too. Bad luck? i don’t think so. I still have Malay as Special Programme O Level. Should be managable, so I’m not really very worried compared to Chinese.

Lujie was practising his sarcasm on me today. Great to know that he has transformed from a really sarcasm noobie to a true Sec 4 student. He keep sayng like “Walau your Chinese so good still need to study meh…”, “Looks like somebody here no need study lohrz”.

The last hurdle, the last exam, the last assessment of the year. The first and last O Level exam (smiles :D). Confusion, panic, anger, happy, worried, all mixed up. An emotion melting pot.

People may come out relieved, some may have the strong feeling to punch the wall. Some may want to celebrate at Marina Bay, have a good steamboat dinner buffet, some may want to strangle the one who set the paper. The problem is, this will happen 2 days later, and to be exact, 57 hours later. Cool countdown eh?

Sorry about all the ramblings. My mind is totally stuck, the train of thoughts is sinking in deep mud. Yikes.

But what makes me a little happy is that the school exams are over, and we are about the celebrate it. Aih, we still need to attend another week fo school after the Higher Chinese O Levels, how frustrating. Today bad news came, rumour that was being spread around the Sec 4 says that quite a handful of peeps can’t get pass the gate, means that they can’t go to JC by hopping on the IP anymore.

The class above mine (literally, as they’re on the 1st floor while mine is on the ground floor) has one. My class? I don’t know, but it is suspected to be none, since nobody informed Ngmy. She was relieved, so do us. But this might be temporary. 4L has a few, seemed to amount to a horrible 6. Why not 7? And why am I being so sadistic? Anyway, those who can’t hop on have to come down, means that they need to be retained for another year, and can only take fill O Level syllabus the next year and they have to say farewell to IP.

Oh and lastly, several people I know are leaving the school at the end of the year. One is Goh, the other one is Wayne (yes, it’s Wayne). Goh is going to (*blank* – I don’t know, so let’s wait for the Biorep to fill it up), okay, somewhere, while Wayne is going to Australia. Goh is a good mentor and teacher (okay, quite a good teacher). Projects that he mentored mostly went into the Grand Final, just that his Bio tests are horribly hard and confusing (you can ask my classmates, as we’re taught by him last year). No wonder Har had a word with him earlier this year.

For Wayne, my friend, he is not going to JC. Poor thing. We verbally abused him for the whole year (okay, not that serious), but he seemed to be too lag oblivious anout that. He’s a good person, warm hearted and helpful. A good friend to be. Good luck and study hard over there, okay?

That’s all for a very confusing post of mine. Hope that everything will settle down after Monday. Bye. :)

    “goh” (as you put it) is going to do his phD in 2006, though he is talking to the school about being a mentor for bio research projects (SSEF etc)

    Good luck with your O Levels. I have my SAT II Chinese on 5 Nov, too.

    And I assume you mean Wayen Widjaja? What’s happened to him?

    It’s 5:30PM over there so I guess you’re finished already… good posthumous luck then… hehe.

    It’s L1B3 of 12 points now. Most people on the original list can get through with the exception of 5 or 6 from the level.

Your name is required. Why?

  • So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
  • Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
  • If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Your email is needed. Why?

  • Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
  • So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
  • If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

You can always leave a personal URL behind

  • It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
  • I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

  • What is Twitter?: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching Wedding Crashers: The Perfect Girl in Typography. Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
