Term 3 has come to an end. =) I must say that as I reflect back once more on this term, many eventful things has happened to me, things that I wanted to happen happened and did not want to happen came true too.

EOY schedule is out. Here are the following papers:

10th october- English, SS
15th - Maths, History
16th - Physics, Chem
20th - MEP

I guess as I work harder to achieve my dream GPA of 3.xx, I have to sacrifice some things too to make up for the time lost. Well I am better off this year without having to study for chinese for this round of exams, but physics and chemistry on the same day = die. Crap how to maintain a double 4?

Oh yes and I am prolly going on a blog haitus, meaning I won't be posting so much, but still be tagging. Have to revise for exams, right?

zzz.

I can't help but laugh when I saw this in the life section today under horoscopes.

"You are seeing the world in black and white today. People seem obsessed with nuance and, while you can see the value of deail, some things are just either right or wrong. Right?"

Haha. You'll find out what it means.

And i didn't really get the other part. Was it an intended pun? O.o

I went to take the quiz that Yuxin and Kangjie both took.

1- the Perfectionist

you chose CZ - your Enneagram type is ONE (aka "The Reformer").

"I do everything the right way"

Perfectionists are realistic, conscientious, and principled. They strive to live up to their high ideals.

How to Get Along with Me

Take your share of the responsibility so I don't end up with all the work.
Acknowledge my achievements.
I'm hard on myself. Reassure me that I'm fine the way I am.
Tell me that you value my advice.
Be fair and considerate, as I am.
Apologize if you have been unthoughtful. It will help me to forgive.
Gently encourage me to lighten up and to laugh at myself when I get uptight, but hear my worries first.


What I Like About Being a ONE

being self-disciplined and able to accomplish a great deal
working hard to make the world a better place
having high standards and ethics; not compromising myself
being reasonable, responsible, and dedicated in everything I do
being able to put facts together, coming to good understandings, and figuring out wise solutions
being the best I can be and bringing out the best in other people

What's Hard About Being a ONE

being disappointed with myself or others when my expectations are not met
feeling burdened by too much responsibility
thinking that what I do is never good enough
not being appreciated for what I do for people
being upset because others aren't trying as hard as I am
obsessing about what I did or what I should do
being tense, anxious, and taking things too seriously

ONEs as Children Often

criticize themselves in anticipation of criticism from others (not true)
refrain from doing things that they think might not come out perfect
focus on living up to the expectations of their parents and teachers (my own, not theirs)
are very responsible; may assume the role of parent
hold back negative emotions ("good children aren't angry")

ONEs as Parents

teach their children responsibility and strong moral values
are consistent and fair
discipline firmly

Long week. Now I'm sick. Crap.

Thankfully there isnt anymore choir from now on, but there is still beats.

And for the first time in my life I heard MGS choir. O.o And TJC choir too.

It was... entertaining. (the choreo I mean) I learn from my mistakes, so I shall not post much here, be it good or bad. But I have to say they did the exact same thing as rgchoir in 'like sunshine'. Like so totally can compare and contrast.

TJC was amusing. Really. Doing the grease medley was just _____. - -

And I am surprised that mgschoir doesn't put their achievements online. Like really never heard of them before. O.o

AND THE PIANIST IS GODLIKE! Omg Jeremy Wong ftw.

I had a random urge to type out this story. Read on and you'll find out why.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leave that light on for the next 2 hours. Or perhaps, even longer.

That little bit of energy used up isn't anything much right? Not at all. But imagine when 50 million of these lights are turned and left on for the next 2 hours. How much energy would that take up? A considerable sum, wouldn't it?

I suppose many of you have watched "L: Change the WorLd". What is said is not false. Earth, our very own planet, has lost her ability to self-heal since some 10 years ago, and from that point onwards, the state of the Earth would only be a downward curve. That would mean, the Earth would be beyond repair if we continue this way of life.

And that's not all claims you know. Global warming has proved that its effects can be devastating. Be it an earthquake, tsunami, tornado, or even a fire hazard, we can slowly see or feel the effects of global warming.

Feeling much hotter these days even when the fan or aircon is on? Global warming IS evident. The Northern Hemisphere is now hitting record high average yearly temperatures, and the weather patterns of our Earth are also being messed up.

"The Day after Tomorrow" tells us that the Earth froze the Northern Hemisphere in a bid to save herself from furthur damage. True. Ice ages in the past are what preserve and renew our resources on Earth. Clean water, fresh air, green forests, are all part of a cycle that is needed to be done to cleanse our Earth. But, what have we done? Have we delayed the impending Ice Age, or simply heated our Earth to such a degree that this Ice Age is no longer going to come?

Think about it. How many of us would live to see the Earth 50 years from now? Can you imagine what kind of a state it would be in? Even if we all die, remember, we are simply part of a cycle of life that repeats every few 10000 years. Compared to this universe, we are simply insignificant.

The Earth is going to die. Whether you believe me or not, you cannot deny the fact that the use of energy, or electricity, is causing damage to our Earth. Rather than speed up this process, why not prolong this damage (if it were to come) and live longer on this Earth to enjoy what we have around us? Start, by saving energy. Thats all.

Having read this, just add in one measure you will promise to take after reading the above story.
1) Switch off all lights and appliances when not in use, even when appliance is in stand-by or even for a short while.
2) Don't use appliances unnecessarily. Save when you can.
3)

Pass this on to up to 6 of your friends! Tag them and make them post it on their blogs too!
1) Yifan
2) Kangjie
3) Daniel
4) Fiona
5) Samantha
6) Joshua Foong
7) Hongrui

Sigh.

RV Limelight Concert was a blast. Literally. =) To all those who went, thank you for coming! To all those who didn't, I just have to say you probably missed out on 1 very great concert.

This being my last RV event of the year, other than upcoming AGM, I guess it was a mixed-feelings for me. Happy, excited, proud, emo, glad, and a lot more other feelings inside me which I didn't show last night to avoid influencing others.

The concert was quite good, from opinions and feedback, and being able to pull off such a great concert overwhelmed me with happy feelings than I was emoing before it actually started. All I have to say is that I'm glad we did so well in the past 1 month. GOOD JOB RV! You make the EXCO and Comm so proud. =)

Oh and thanking the following people,

My family, who continued to support me throughout these 4 years, be it physically or mentally or spiritual support, I am thankful and grateful for you being there to support me.

Mr Toh, Ms Chiang, and Ms Yew, for their strong support of the choir and also for all the behind-the-scenes work in the past 4 years. As a member, I would like to say that I have certainly learnt a lot from you all, so thank you.

My friends who came down! Hongrui, Joshua, Vince, Faizal, Samantha, Fiona, Guowei, and all others who I might have forgotten. >< Thanks for supporting this concert, and I really hope you all enjoyed yourselves at this concert!

My seniors, especially those who have helped me in my growth over the years when I spent in RV. I would definitely not have become to what I am today without your help, and so here is a big thank you to all of you!

------------------------------------------------------------------

What's done is already done. The real choice making starts now. What should I do?

My special 16th birthday cake! Mango moose. (yeah even though I can't really appreciate cakes I appreciate my mum for getting me a not-so-healthy-due-to-cream fruit cake with MANGO!)

A little closer on the sign, it says: Happy 16th birthday! (so sweet right? pun unintended because its made of chocolate xD)

And the remaining of my cake now is in parts and in the fridge. Whee!




And thank you joel for your wishes! =D

[edit]
