2009-04-18T01:05:00.000-07:00

Ahhh dang it. I woke up with a freaking fever today and a super bad throat, I think it was probably from insufficient rest since the start of council campaign. I'm glad I completely lost my voice today instead of yesterday, or else the fac outing would have been an epic disaster. LOL and I actually forgot the lyrics during the performance and forgot the dance steps too! I feel super bad for Nicole haha, but it was fun (except for the fact that it led to the dumb fever today -.-) I think ima need to go back to sleep. Even though I slept till like 3+, I'm still lethargic and unwell, so ciao!

2009-04-03T10:05:00.000-07:00

Omg screwed LUMOS! Ahhhh I hate my voice -.- my falsetto messed up today. And Ryan forgot to lower the pitch of Apologise by 2 keys! Then I just totally stopped singing during the chorus arghargharghargh. Zzzzzzz. Ah well. At least the rest of the songs was okay. There was this part in Umbrella, when I tossed the umbrella too far back that it hit the drums LOL! Then I was supposed to go out with Chris and Daryl! But I went out with my senior and current class for supper instead! Ahhh feel so pangseh! Super tired now! I'll update tmr or something!

2009-03-30T04:37:00.000-07:00

36 hours!

2009-03-30T02:48:00.000-07:00

34th hour without sleep! (its 6pm now)

This is probably THE most insane marathon ever! I got up at 8am on Sunday after 13 hours of rest and got to school at 2pm to chiong gimmicks with Warren! Actually I felt really really dumb. I got tricked by Warren and alighted at the high school bus stop AND WALKED ALLL THE WAY TO THE JC SIDE WTHHHHHH lugging that 7 kg load of flour and random stuff.

We met Huiming and her friends painting her banner (the rest of her group dropped!), then Warren, I and the few of them went to Ashtons' for dinner. Then afterwards, I chionged home and took the final bus, not towards home, but to school with Huiming hahahaha. Super insane. Then as we got there, we met Shiing, Lili and Chengaik who were camping there as well! It was 12am by then. Then we went to the Central Plaza and Warren started playing the guitar and we were all singing! Super high (: Justin's group and my group finally managed to hang our banners at about 2am. It was 5am when we decided to go shower and walk over to Macs at Serene Centre to have breakfast! Then on the way out, we saw alot of groups starting to place their banners everywhere.

When it was time for flagraising, Warren and Theodore were already dying from exhaustion. They were nodding off and near the brink of dozing off. Only when Chem lecture started, did I feel my head spinning. I couldn't really remember what we were doing, I vaguely recall how we were made to draw dot-and-cross diagrams and how the lecturer sped past dative bonding. Oh and back to the topic of dot-and-cross diagrams. My Chem lecture notes have become some sketch pad. Apparently, while drawing the dots and crosses of the diagrams, I would unwittingly drift into light sleep, and my pen would make random sketch marks. And when I came back from that split-second daze, there it was, a ruined piece of lecture notes -.- Zikeng provided us three sleeping musketeers with sour plum drops so we wouldn't keep nodding off. It worked! Haha I can't believe I actually survived the day without really k.o.ing! It's been quite a while since I had this much fun, and considering the fact we stayed awake even though it was a school day was really novel!

It's not really the end that matters. What matters is the journey.

All the council nominees, jiayou jiayou! (: Let's all make the most of our campaign week!

2009-03-25T07:02:00.000-07:00

It was Founder's Day prize presentation today and for once did I really feel that 4D bonded together. Came late, but still, better then never. We were doing loads of insane stuff though. And the attendance taking session was classic! A. Tan seemed to be summoning the latecomers - whenever she mentioned a latecomer's name, he would come strolling into the LT. Damn hilarious!

I took a super long nap today. I think I nearly slept for 4 hours in the afternoon. I know, I know! I'm a total pig right. But if you watched that cartoon series, you'd have known that I'm a pig! Hoo-haa Preston Pig!

Today was much better in the sense that I'm feeling reoriented now after thinking about loads of stuff. Actually all it takes is a long bus ride to think stuff through. My extremely long 40mins to 1 hour bus rides back to Hougang would usually be a time when I reflect and reorganise. After that routine bus ride, I would just start afresh and be ready to carry on the rest of the day.

Back to less emo stuffx. Ahhh council campaign >.< Haha thanks to Germaine, we got complementary flour for our gimmick. But omg, we have to make 600 items for all the Ares people leh. Haha so if anybody's free to help us, volunteer kay!

2009-03-22T04:25:00.000-07:00

ZOMG. This holiday week has been the worst stretch ever. I'm still uber drained from the full week of returning to school to prep for council campaign and that disease diagnostics workshop and Gala dinner (which was quite nice, but in this current state, I have no mood to talk bout happy stuff like that).

Argh. If I don't make it into council, I think I'd totally break down. For that matter, if SRP rejects me I'm going to wallow in self pity at some random corner in school. AHHHHH. This sucks. And I have a math test tomorrow that I'm sure to fail considering how I haven't had sufficient time to revise for it.

Gahhhh this is so depressing. I'll get off my laptop and do math while eating Ruffles then, byeee!

THE VID TO TALENT TIME'S UPLOADED!

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=56984902057#/video/video.php?v=56984902057

Go watch kay! (:

2009-03-14T20:34:00.000-07:00

GOSH! We won Talent Time! >.<

The whole of yesterday was super hyped up and insane! Thanks so much for all the peeps who helped out backstage, especially the makeup people hahaha cause we were all makeup-o-phobic (if its even a word LOL)!

And thanks to all of you who came down and supported us and those who wanted to come but couldn't make it and yet voted for us!

Thanks for all the gifts! The people who gave flowers, Chen Yi for the lolipop, Jiawei for the WATERMELON AND HONEYDEW and barley drink, Patricia for the hankerchief hahaha, AND THANK YOU S72 for that gigantic teddy bear! It's now occupying a huge portion of space on the study table in my room (: Sorry if I left anyone out! And finally, thanks for all the encouragement you've given us! We really appreciate it!

We'll upload the video soon for the peeps who didn't manage to come down! (:

2009-03-11T06:36:00.000-07:00

Argh. Feeling super stone right now. No wait, actually my dazed condition began during today's Chem Lecture. For some reason it was super taxing on my brain cells, so much so that one hemisphere was shut down for the rest of the day. I suffered the repercussions of a bad period for the whole day after that.

Ms Choong's final ~~econs~~ CAMWHORE. lecture! We got her a cake and the class wrote some notes on the farewell card. And then there was this wacky video, where we (randomly) tugged Mr Ngoh into the camera and got him to say random stuff into the camera hahaha. We'll miss you Ms Choong (:

X-Ctry! To be honest, it was rather fun. We had a series of crazy scenes, like playing Tempo and the hand-tapping game (which resulted in me having to dash up a slope to hug a tree o_O) and culminating in the situation where people started comparing how many cups of Milo they milked out from the tubs in the Milo van after the run.

CT (and partial OG) outing! I was constantly torn between the OG and CT, of which the OG peeps kept grabbing my fries! AND THEODORE NEARLY CAUSED A MORTAL WOUND WITH HIS TOWEL-WHIP. o_O We almost ended up going for a CT LAN session, but unfortunately Thomson Plaza didn't have a LAN centre. Dang. Don't worry S72, we'll have our chance in the not-too-distant future!

2009-03-07T22:22:00.001-08:00

Yay haha! Had dinner with Hester, Jocelyn and Chris last night (hurrah ISYF amazing race group 7!) at some steamboat place in Lavender. It was super fun cause it's been a while since we last met and it really did feel like we knew each other since forever! Obviously, we experienced some of Hester's wols-ness and Jocelyn's ability to reduce the surrounding temperature to absolute zero! Amazing night nevertheless! I think I really needed that. After being busy for the whole week due to work and stuff, I finally got a well-deserved break with close friends (: Thanks so much guys!

Anyways, ISYF peeps! If ya'll wanna come down for the talent time finals, you all can as well! Must support me kay! Sms me (:

And argh. Doing math right now in preparation for tomorrow's test. Argh argh argh. hate math, but love bio to the hydrophobic phospholipid core (LOL geddit geddit?). Okay enough randomness, gotta mug! Ciao! XD

2009-03-04T06:25:00.000-08:00

I realised my blog's rotting >.< Super busy the past few days!

I'll start this post off with a lame question haha:

Why is 7 the fiercest number?
Ans: Cause 7 8 (ATE) 9 LOL.

*prods self and laughs*
*regains composure*

Anyway, today was rather interesting. I decided to put on my glasses cause my eyes were all bloodshot and irritable this morning. Then I got teased by so many people! >.< Then I realised that alot of people who were originally wearing contacts had also switched to glasses!

Recap of the week:
Had talent time training yesterday. Bleh it was quite unproductive due to the fact that we were indecisive about the song choices. Some shameless advertistment: vote for Oral Participation (our group name haha)! In case you still didn't know, we're doing beatbox/singing :) So do come down on the finals to support us!

Monday! Attended my cousin's wedding dinner. (: It was the first time I attended such a function, very memorable I must say. Have a blissful marriage, cousin!

Blah, I'm quite worried about my chances of getting into Council right now. Ares has quite alot of people running, some of which are quite popular. Argh, I'll just try though. So vote for me for Council if you're in Ares! (:

2009-02-24T06:18:00.000-08:00

Yayyy. This whole week (or at least the first part) was quite eventful.

We had OG outing to Sentosa on saturday! We were there playing frisbee, beach volleyball and lame random stuff. And Zhe Hou video-ed this portion where we were all playing with this mini-fountain bearing resemblance to the one at Bugis Junction. It was damn funny, with Wei Qing and all her super unglam poses!

WATER BENDERS FTW!

Then we were doing all our fac dances and owing to my lengthy arms (no, I'm not a gorrila.) I smacked Chenyi's phone during the dance LOL. Luckily it didn't spoil haha.

And on Monday! Talent Time photoshoot! Thanks to Abner and Daryl, we managed to get some pictures churned out. Here's one of the pics. My fave actually haha.

Tuesday - the day with the dumb PE lesson that made us run 90 rounds. Apparently my throat was already super bad since Friday and after the run it got worse. Bleh, at least I'll get to rest and recuperate for Thursday's Talent Time training session.

GIVE ME MY VOICE BACK.

2009-02-20T04:58:00.000-08:00

i'm Mr Plastic.

The whole week was super duper crazy, but really fun! My CT rawks! We have loads of super fun loving people (who are berserk by the way)! We had an early dinner today with the class (or rather a few of us stared at the rest of them who were eating). And DURING math tutorial, when our tutor pangseh-ed us, we all started doing the Faculty Dance! (okay I know I can't dance to save myself) Loads of fun!

And Oral Participation got through the TALENT TIME FINALS yayyyy! Do continue to support us! :D

but...

I LOST MY VOICE OMGWTHBBQPLOX!

It was during CT session when someone talked to me and I was about to reply and a croak came out. o_O

Argh argh argh. Feeling horrible right now. My throat hurts so bad, and I can't even speak properly. I think its cause of the lack of sleep for the past weeks that lead to this. Bleh. I need to recover soon. Honey water ftw! I'd better sleep now, wait up for the next post!

2009-02-07T22:33:00.000-08:00

NPCC Annual Reunion Dinner!

It was such an improvement from the somewhat-cheapo dinner last year at the SALT centre haha. Having it at the boarding school was so much smarter :D And the portions were larger as well hahahaha yayyyyy.

AND FOR THE LUCKY DRAW, Francis got the top prize for the lucky draw which was a Zen MP3 player and Hao Jie lost the iTouch to Song Ken by a bare 20 cents : ( !!! -_- another year of not receiving any prizes for me.

Then when I got back, some people revealed something really sick about someone else to me, what the hell! [okay this gets cryptic.] I totally freaked out but couldn't stop laughing for damn long (like all the way till 2am). And few of us had an OG27 scandal talk which was super duper hilarious!

2009-02-06T21:00:00.000-08:00

Orientation 09! Week One : D

two-two-two-seven! OG 27 rocks!

We were all at Kenny's place playing guitar hero and doing loads of fun stuff after the crazy day of orientation wet games! fun fun fun fun : D

Got loads of cuts and grazes but I think Zhe Ren got the worst injury - some crazy gash at his toe. Bleh. But he was super strong. LOL I think if it was me or Kuan He who got that we'll probably die (ESP KUAN HE.)

And we were manipulating the ISP to give us our classes (which are still changing right now.) I saw a few people i know in mine, hopefully it doesn't change :D

IDK about JC life la. But I think I wanna spend the time having fun and getting to know people and whatever. I wanna try for council too : D But I don't think I've got enough popularity : ( Ah well. I'll just take it one step at a time.

Looking forward to CT classes!!!

2009-01-26T19:21:00.000-08:00

Happy NIU year! May all your wishes come true in this OXpicious new year!

Since its the new year, I decided to restore life to my dead-since-forever blog and begin it on a new slate.

ISYF had been a total pwnage. Never thought it'll be such great fun :D Anyways, before moving onto ISYF, first take a look at my new red toy poodle - Kiki! (its not really a toy. its just a breed name.) Adorable right!

Back to ISYF. Instead of International Science Youth Forum, it should have been renamed International Scandalous Youth Forum hahaha. All the girls were swooning at the sight of Min Hua. And then there was the Min Hua Fan Club on fb. And to be stalked by the same stalker as Min Hua totally makes me feel super honoured. LOL.

It's super super fun. On the final two nights we didn't sleep for 43 hours and yet we were still ultra high. Here's some pics : D

Group 15 (project) photo!

Kaizhi's birthday celebrated in the dorm! (and then he got bonded and deo-sprayed.)

Group 7 (amazing race) sandcastle at Sentosa!

Group 7 (amazing race) pic from Raffles City. It was part of a task!

Dinner at Shangri-la on the final night! Brings back memories of batch dinner : D

Us during the 43 hour marathon! Bridge-ing LOL.

A half-passable jump shot at Clarke Quay!

Another group 7 (amazing race) pic!

Night safari!

Outward Bound Taiwan - The best camp ever! (to hell with Camp rock.)

The past 11 days have brought the best memories. Amazingly the food was great too. We cooked curry rice, pasta and loads of other stuff.

I have learnt to appreciate:
1) Cookies and biscuits.
These dry foodstuffs never seemed that appealing before this camp. Oreo ftw!

2) Cooking!
Apparently for the first half of the camp, almost all our cooked food sucked. Made me realise how hard it was to cook.

3) Washing dishes.
Especially when the water temperature is close to freezing.

4) High elements.
Especially that weird 6 storey-high contraption built like a giant slingshot that freaked the hell out of everybody.

5) Toilet bowls!
Throughout the camp, there was only one toilet bowl and the rest were "squatters". Then up in the mountain, in the wilderness, you had to use a shovel to dig a hole and use stones and twigs in replacement of toilet paper. (eww.)

To prevent a long long post, here's some pictures from the trip!

2008-10-24T06:56:00.000-07:00

HSM 3 was totally LOL. Like Ryan and I spent the whole movie predicting the random singing scenes. Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale are hawt hawt. Just that Ashley Tisdale had too much makeup.The songs were not that... bad and the cinematography and choreography was rather grand. Just that the songs were overtly autotuned and the actors couldnt get the lip-sync right in certain songs, but overall 3/5 for the movie.

Anyway, take a look at the 4D class performance!

2008-10-17T22:31:00.000-07:00

Batch Dinner 08!

Disclaimer: This post is very long, but please read it all!

I'm still feeling really high from Batch Dinner '08 last night! After 4 years in High School, it all comes to a close with this final occasion. It got really high during the random songs they played like Umbrella and all those sing-along songs.

"ELLA ELLA EH EH EH"

I must say that our performance was da bomb! Lester was so darned frigging funny up on stage. And I got the Best Dressed Award, which was so random lawl. o_O how on earth did that happen! (Ok if you guys were wondering, the prize was some cookies!)

Honestly, I really pity those who didn't come. Like I mean, after 4 long years of high school, why not have this final graduation night celebration with all your friends? (that is, if you had some la.) Shijie originally wanted to come along, but he just didn't have sufficient money as he spent it all on his plane tickets back home. What reason do the rest of the people have for not coming? My conclusion: I feel sorry for the rest of you who didn't bother to attend.

Anyway, I just changed the blog song to Joe Jonas - Gotta Find You. I just thought that it would be the best song to express most of our emotions from Batch Dinner. Yeah sure, the ever cliched Graduation song or Peng You would do it but this song is closer to my heart : D There are also more songs reminiscent of high school in the playlist too! LISTEN!

You're the voice I hear inside my head,
The reason that I'm singing,

I needa find you, I gotta find you,

You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me,

I needa find you, I gotta find you.

My friends, YOU, are the voices resonating within my head. The reason why I go to school everyday rejuvenated and exhilarated even though the stress keeps pressing down on us.

It was, the TIME OF MY LIFE in High School. Thank you guys for giving me such a good time even though I was such a retard and an irritating jerk. Thanks for accepting me and giving me your trust and companionship. Even though I may have angered some of you, I hope you'll forgive me and we'll always remenisce of these 4 years spent here!

Here are some of the pictures of the night : D

My favourite picture of them all! Yehan, Ryan, Edwin and I outside Emporio Armani : D

Some of us from 4D!

Grand Ballroom 3, Level 3, Hilton Hotel

Me, Hao Jie and Tim Sng!

The NP Dudes! With Mr Tan as well!

Food at Batch Dinner!

Me with Wen Shan!

Me with Daren!

Ervin and I!

Ray, Wen Shan, Edwin and I!

Ryan Heng, Wen Shan, Edwin and I!

Ryan, Lester and I!

Matthew and I!

2008-09-26T04:25:00.000-07:00

Finally a breather.

Not the best thing right now, but yeah, I'm taking a full friday off from studies.

Just had extra lessons with Mrs Ooi after the brain-draining Chem paper. I'm super grateful to Mrs Ooi for those times she spent staying back just to help us weaker students for Math. Felt really really motivated after her philosophical lessons and I really hope to have her again as my math teacher next year in JC.Must seriously get her something after EOYs, anyone join me?

It's been a tough ride, but the fun's just started.

VaderDarth - yup lolz.

I'm really enjoying my new Dell Inspiron 1420. Its really really cool. O.O It even has a motion detector for the ultra paranoid who believe that assasins will sneak up to them in the middle of the night to kill them.

I just changed the song on my blog to Paramore's For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic. Enjoy!

Hmmm. I just saw this SMB message calling for people to participate in an exchange programme to Japan. Dang. Its really tempting but I kinda forgot like how to speak in general after Japanese being absent from my vocab for over a year. (Like the other time Zichao's Jap friend came over, I forgot how to say "Do you wanna eat this or that" O.O)

Anw, I'm ultra stressed up right now. Earlier on when I was in the lab, I saw Liang Pin mugging Sec 3 Bio and Guang Yi had already finished Bio. Gawd. How mugger can they get. I havent started at all la. Doomed. But actually I'm not caring anymore. I'll just try to get like B3 and above for the EOYs and probably my MSG will be below 1.5. Argh.

2008-09-02T06:46:00.000-07:00

Argh. I'm kinda feeling really pissed right now. Like even though its the last SL session, some people just don't put in effort. Whatever.

I've been spending the past few days watching some american dramas like The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Wizards of Waverly Place. Speaking of which, Selena Gomez who's starring in Wizards of Waverly Place is super cute. Ok nevermind lol.

Going into mugging mode. Must-abstain-from-slacking.

Oh and the whole class's english score is messed up. So even though we're like 2nd now, after the editing of the scores, we'll beat 4I and get 1st for like the 3rd term this year yay.

chao - yuppie! haha.

2008-08-29T06:10:00.001-07:00

Bleargh. Haven't blogged in weeks. Alot of interesting stuff happened lately but didn't have time to really blog much about it.

AOS - HCI
I think this is probably one of the best things that happened in my life. It was really enriching and the friendships we made would probably last forever. The AOS peeps are really the coolest bunch and it was a blast hanging out with them and working with them.

We're planning for a reunion at like Hawaii or someplace in a few years time and I'm really looking forward to it.

POP

Finally, after four years of NP, we got our POP and passed down the files to the next batch. I got like an addidas shoe bag from Kenneth. I really liked it, must find some time to thank him. NP was a rough but amazing journey.

We ran in the open without berets and we did PT and Drill for the last time as a squad. We were totally running like retards around the school in Full U but it was a memorable experience. Thank you, NPCC, for all the memories, even though it was hard work at times, but it was really a fun ride all these years.

2008-08-10T22:18:00.000-07:00

This week's CHAOtic!

Been super busy lately, so I didn't manage to blog for the past week. I'll probably be doing a weekly update from now onwards. This is gunna be a really long post here.

CHAOS Final - 6 Aug

The finals of the competition was on wed. We had to generate a 10 min presentation about the 4 aspects (Bio, Chem, Phy and Math) and we decided to embark on a really ambitious idea about a skit with the Men In Black and time travel and making advertisements for this "TV programme".

As usual, we did our last min stuff and piah-ed all the way till 1am on Tuesday and had to come back to school by 6am! It was really intense work we did. But we managed to triumph over a few really good schools and got 1st Runner-Up, behind RI. Not bad I must say. It was really good experience. And Mr Tan C.G. was realy nice to work with. I must say he's one of the teachers I enjoyed working with.

Here, I'll thank all the teachers who helped with each segment of the presentation, vetting, the teachers who were kind and understanding in postponing our tests, Mr Lee F.Y. who isn't in the school right now and last but not least Mr Tan C.G.

Pre-National Day - 8 Aug

The few of us had to attend the EP3 appreciation ceremony in the morning. It was rather hilarious to see when some people we absent for the ceremony and others had to take the prize for them. Alot of people went bonkers when Jun Rong took the prize for Hong Liang.

We went bowling after the whole event ended. Then we walked to Xi Ning's place for food and we camped at his place to play badminton and basketball.

Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony - 8 Aug

The opening ceremony was spectacular. The 2008 drums was an impressive start and I think the whole concept of the 4 greatest inventions of China was an amazing way for China to go "Hi, World." The lighting of the Olympic torch was probably the best moment of the whole ceremony. Now we know the Chinese have the people, brains and the money to set up such a powerful demonstration. Very captivating.

National Day Parade - 9 Aug

Went out with Xi Ning to buy some stuff. I was actually supposed to buy my iPod in-ear headset but completely forgot. Bumped into Alan on the way there. Then Kae Yuan smsed to ask if we wanted to have dinner together but apparently apart from the 3 of us, everyone else decided to have a TV Dinner.

I got home half-way and switched on the tv for the NDP show and i got sick of it after 5 minutes. Beijing Olympics completely owned it. Ah well, we don't really have the money or the creativity in my opinion.

Post-National Day Holiday - 11 Aug

Been slacking at home today. The Academy of Science (AOS) people have arrived just this morning at 1 am! We're going to the boarding school later to meet them and catch up with them. Should be really cool. Haven't seen them for 8-9 months now.

JoOn - Hey, linked! Haha everyone's commenting that its gross! U'll probably get to do it in sec 4 too.

Randy - Quite hard la. This year's been ultra busy for me. But I'll do a weekly-review of all the interesting things that happened to me!

linping - O.o Ok, I totally didn't get that but I hope it was a complement : D

geelyn - Re-linked! Of course I remember you! Haha I haven't been updating my links in like eons. Ever since I changed my URL, I just copied and pasted the links from my friends' blogs.

VaderDarth - I'm here! I think I'll probably do a weekly update from now. Kinda busy lately =/

2008-07-29T04:00:00.000-07:00

Ride the surf.

Survived the math test today feeling quite proud I was able to attempt most of the questions. I'm feeling ultra drained right now after having less than 4 hours of sleep for the past two days. And I have tuition in less than half an hour's time! I think I'll just collapse in my bed directly after tuition.

And holy. I just realised that all my tags have accumulated since eternity, so I'ma respond to them.

Amy Winehouse hospitalised for the second time this year.

LONDON (AP) — A spokesman for troubled singer Amy Winehouse says she has been released from a London hospital after suffering a reaction to medication.

Spokesman Chris Goodman says Winehouse is feeling fine. He says she was discharged from a London hospital Tuesday after spending the night under observation.

Winehouse had been rushed by ambulance from her north London home to London's University College Hospital on Monday evening.

It was the second time in as many months that the Grammy winner had been taken to a hospital. She was hospitalized in June after collapsing at home.

Again? Could it be drug overdose? Amy Winehouse, has been, from statements given by her father, taking drugs for quite some time now. Her father was requesting the public to boycott her album until she sends herself to rehab (and that was probably why her single, Rehab, came out).

I would think that this hospitalisation would most probably be due to drug overdosage, but we can't really tell. Just keep away from drugs.

Hormones.
I just read Clement's blog and saw his tagboard was full of discussion about hormones. Interestingly, maybe the scientific community should do a full review on how hormones are used for anything at all.

Oestrogen-like compounds found in sunblock
http://www.anapsid.org/cnd/hormones/estrogen3.html

"benzophenone-3, homosalate, 4-methyl-benzylidene camphor (4-MBC), octyl-methoxycinnamate and octyl-dimethyl-PABA - behaved like oestrogen in lab tests"

"When the team mixed it with olive oil and applied it to rat skin, it doubled the rate of uterine growth well before puberty. "That was scary, because we used concentrations that are in the range allowed in sunscreens," Schlumpf says. Nobody knows if doses are high enough to create problems for people, says Schlumpf."

Know what, now I'm sorta worried. Next time, when you get sunblock, try getting one that uses Zinc Oxide instead.

A Third of male fish in rivers change sex
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-396612/Third-male-fish-rivers-changing-sex.html

What! 1/3 of fish changed sex. And there were also some that were neither gender, i.e. transvestites?

"British men's sperm counts dropped by almost a third between 1989 and 2002, and one in six couples now have difficulty conceiving."

Ok so now we sorta know why men these days have problems conceiving. Its probably due to high oestrogen levels in food we etat.

Alot of talk has centred around oestrogen found in soya bean and chicken (for tenderising of meat) and yes, it is a real danger that exists out there.

Plastics cause gender change
http://www.hindu.com/seta/2004/08/05/stories/2004080500311400.htm

"These [oestrogen-mimicking compounds] are found in plastics, food packaging, shampoos and pesticides and accumulate in the environment. "

Ahh oestrogen is EVERYWHERE.

Now that we know a male fish treated with oestrogen can grow ovaries, what the heck are we doing to protect ourselves? O_O Now if we were dosed with oestrogen, would we grow ovaries? Maybe. But it has been proven that in men, testes would shrink and their female secondary characteristics would be enhanced (i.e. become a sissy).

Creepy huh. So the next time you see anything that says hormones present, think twice before using it.

Some week that was.
The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved

Friday was half-day. But it didn't really turn out. We still had lessons till 1:20 because of that maths test (AND THERE'S ANOTHER ONE ON TUESDAY) and Bio practical.

Bio practical pictures below!

Aww cute mouse.

Cruxification o.O

Incision at the abdomen.

Bat-rat?

All the instruments into the mouse head. Ouch.

See that pink thing? Yeah its the intestines.

Yes. In case you were wondering. We de-skinned the mouse and burst its bladder. And not to mention, squeeze its faeces out from its intestines.

Man did it stink.

The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved
(5/5 stars)

Amazing band. The script came into the music scene not too long ago with their song "We Cry". I believe that this song would be one of the top few in the charts.

The song talks about this guy who waits for his lost love at the corner of the street.

Very meaningful lyrics, touching melody and beautiful vocals. Very nostalgic.

I'm not moving.

39 Days.

Its been eons since I last blogged. Too many projects and academics.

Anyways listen to the song I put at the right. Swing, swing by All-American Rejects. I've been looking for this song for 6 years. Finally found it.

Went to Orchard with Xi Ning to fix his newly bought nano. o.O apparently some elephant trampled on it till the screen became all white whenever it was turned on. And it's only what, 3 weeks old? Lucky for him, the maintenance shop said they'll get a replacement for him for free. And bleh, I saw a pair of really cool iPod in-ears but they cost 69 or something. Super expensive. Ah well, guess I have to save up.

Miley Cyrus - 7 Things

This song's quite nice, amazingly coming from Miley Cyrus.

But there are some really really irritating parts like when she sounds like a cow towards the end like about 3:08 onwards. Felt like punching her in the face and tell her to shut up. And also at the start and end when she does that creepy whispery voice, I couldn't decipher it at all o.O I thought it was something like "shut-up" or "sharks" until I checked the lyrics and it was actually "shy" O.O

Another issue that she really needs braces. She's super rich but can't afford braces? Pause at 0:46 and 1:17 and she looks like a pig.

But overall, the song and the MV were ok and the song's kinda catchy.

Speak of the devil.
Ashanti - That Way That I Love You

Pday was a total mess up.

1st Project went quite well except one or two really weird questions that I didn't know how to answer.

2nd Project completely died. We were set up and ready to present, gleaming that there were no imba judges in the judging seat. Wishful thinking. Lo and behold came Ms T. who totally owned the group.

I give up. Sometimes things don't always go the way you want it to no matter how hard you try.

Got tons of work to chiong by tonight. Gotta go!

Homeostasis? Le Chatelier's?

Time for a time-out.

I'm honestly quite stressed now.

Who am I to be?

Mugger-no-lifer or fun-jubilant?

Playing both roles take a toll on me.

Where's the balance point?

2008-06-21T08:33:00.001-07:00

Disoriented.

Putting your heartfelt words on your blog is far too dangerous as I have learnt.

Confidante. Thanks for lending me a listening ear.

ANU was super fun. I'll be uploading pictures and stuff if I have time.

2008-06-08T23:34:00.000-07:00

ANU Today!

ANU's in 4 hours. I'm just finalising the small stuff to bring like hw and eye drops and lenses solution.

Came back from school at 12:30 today. I took ultra long to tie two freaking tiny Potassium Dichromate crystals with the fishing line. I got super irritated halfway coz the seed crystals just kept slipping out, but when I finished (after 2 hours o.O) I felt super proud of myself : )

And we're the first group to place our seed crystals into our saturated solution for the 2nd stage of the crystal growing process yay (and two sets at that)! Another point to be proud of ><>

Mdm Xia's gonna take care of the crystals throughout our trip to ANU. Must get her a nice present for taking care of the crystals for a week. : )

I think I'm compiling my list of to-buys on the plane ride. I think I'm not sleeping today. Like wth. Why on earth does the plane set off at 7pm and land at 2am (SG time)? That's a totally normal time.

I'll try to blog daily and show ya'll the many pictures we took there!

Sidenote: Gimme your links if I forgot to link. Coz the other time I switched blogs, I cancelled all the a href-s accidentaly.

2008-06-08T04:30:00.000-07:00

ANU tmr!

Trip to Aussie yay! I've been looking forward to this trip for super long. Kangaroos and Surf-brand stuff tomorrow! I can't sleep le : (

I cant wait for the time we get to the airport coz there's this Billabong sandals sale - 2 pairs for 25 bucks. If its not there I'm gonna kill my twin coz he told me that.

Mrs L.:
I would need volunteers to share their attachment experience during assembly, anybody interested, please see me. (More ACEs points awarded)

*eyes light up like fireworks.* Did I just read more ACE! Ok. Fine I'm despo for ACE.

Haven't been to facebook in EONS. When I went in earlier, I was shocked by the tons of birthday messages dated like a month back. I feel super guilty not thanking them. : (

Then I saw Ryan C.'s profile and there was a section that said: likes to date older women and I was like LOL. So true.

ANU in 24 hours. POP in 11 weeks. AOS in 2 months. End of Sec 4 in 6 months. The countdown starts.

Paramore Love : )

My current favourite song - That's What You Get.

That's what you get when you let your heart win. Woah!
That's what you get when you let your heart win. Woah.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
That's what you get when you let your heart win. Woah.

Best band in the world. Amen. I'm like Hayley love! She's super pretty. I go woosh when she smiles.

Why did I relocate? Won't tell you. Just know that I won't make the silly mistake of letting someone else get me unprepared. Now I'm prepared. Try harder next time.
