Exam Fever
Posted Saturday, September 30, 2006 // 08:56
Very long time never blog because of the exams. Today will be my last day updating my blog then the next week? Exam fever. Yesterday's English Paper I was so difficult! First one was arguementative, cannot write. Second one was descriptive, cannot write also. Left 3 all I also don't know want to write. In the end I choose, My ambition. I think I am goanna flunk this paper. Anyway, went to Mc after school yesterday. Reached there around 2pm. Then we studied. Er... Quite noisy and not all are studying though... Sigh. Studied a while then Tang Jie, Shu Hua, Shee Min, Helen and I went to the toilet. That Tang Jie go and push Helen and I into one cubicle and locked us up. Then Helen and I push the door very hard. Aha! The best part comes! Shu Hua was standing behind Tang Jie and when we pushed the door to hard, Tang Jie fell back and Shu Hua and KISSED Tang Jie! HAHA! Kiss as in Tang Jie face was pushed onto Shu Hua's face very near to her lips. LOL. We all laugh and laugh in the toilet like mad. After that went back and revised. Read till Chapter 6. After that I read out loud what I have memorise in Chapter 5 & 6 to Shee Min and at the same time let her absorb some things. 5:30pm all of us went home. A few hours later, me met there again. 8pm like that start to study again. Read till Chapter 10. Around 10pm+ already when we left. Quite tired at that time. But I absorbed alot of things. Used up all my Science cells lers. Later meeting Jun Hao and Karen they all go Orchard meet Sheryl. Don't worry Miss Kong, I won't be so unlucky to see you there shopping de =P We going there to collect things not shopping. But later sure shop a little de lar. Finally Sheryl sms-ed me! Ask me go collect some things then can go ler. Very long time Jun Hao and Karen go out with me already. Haha. Last time we 3 always go out together de. Nvm, later going to meet them at 11am. Go eat breakfast le. Good lark to all those who know me, TerriMc members and also 2e2 peeps for the EOY!


Broken promise
Posted Monday, September 25, 2006 // 19:52
Sorry Mr Neo! Today actually promise you wanna sell A-cash but we forgotten.. SORRY! Anyway, today Mdm Liang was not around so we had 2 free periods. Made use of that time to do my maths revision paper. Quite a couple of questions don't really understand. I think I go find Mdm Tong or Mr Neo if I got time ba. Shu Hua went for her oral and we went to eat and waited for her. Met Karen when eating and we chatted. Yea, once again, Karen top ecology test! 38/40... So clever. Then we went to 768 to photocopy a specimen paper Karen gave me. Discussed it with Shu Hua and we did the paper together. Well, the paper was definately a tricky and indirect one. But I think if we studied the textbook, there should be no problems doing well that specimen paper. Heard from Karen and Hui Xin that this year's Science EOY is a LITTLE bit easier than last year's. I emphasise on the word LITTLE. Should know what I meant; no difference actually. Haha I teach Science can make all of them laugh like mad. There was a question on this plant in a dark room and the water in the tube was used up and they wanted to know why. There was 4 options and the first 2 was about photosynthesis which is definately out as there is no sunlight. 3rd choice was respiration and the last one was transpiration. Both Shu Hua and Jia En asked me the same question which was "Why is it not the 3rd option." LOL, I asked them to breathe in and tell me do they need water to respire. Haha. We were all so noisy in Mc. Sigh, tmr must hand in nitrogen cycle. Got to go. Tata.


Long weekend
Posted Sunday, September 24, 2006 // 21:43
Friday went to YCK swim from 8 to afternoon. VERY FUN! We act like children at the pool. LOL. We even went to the wading pool and slide. Took loads of pictures. After tat went to CWP take neoprints and have our lunch. The new neoprint machine was so cool! After that we went to develop the photos. Then we sort off 'de jui' Shu Hua by developing a photo... SORRY SHU HUA~ I throw the picture liao lar. Don angry ok? That afternoon we was like talking more... Went to photocopy the Maths revision paper from Ke Qi. Went home at around 6pm. That night I slept like a pig. Next day came home at 11am. Today morning? BF again! 9am reached. But then, today we cannot eat cos Cheun Leong and Jenny there... The two big bosses. But then Mommy gimme eat one saussage when they are not around =) Mommy rawks! She prepare CFO for me also when I went for my break! Went back at 4pm today. Went to buy my dinner and then came back. I was alone at home. I thought that mum would be around but she went to the airport with bro and sis to send my dad off. Fortunately, I brought my keys. Ate my dinner then I took out my books and once again, I fell asleep. So, I went to get some refreshments and my MP3. I think I am crazy, I read the whole Science TB in 3hrs time. Now, planning my organisation chart. Got to go tata.


NJRC off
Posted Monday, September 18, 2006 // 20:08
This Friday is an off day for ADSSians YEAH! Because RE won the 4th championship again! Anyway, this Friday, we intend to relax ourselves by going swimming because I think everyone is so stress up about EOY. For me, I am so relax. Really lost interest in books. FORCE into it anyway. I am such a slacker. Anyway, this Friday we intend to go swimming and window shopping for the last time then the rest of them wanna burry their heads in books lers. But then still got some ppl think that we are crazy. LOL. TerriMc second outing. First outing is that time got the election off-day go K-Box. Oh ya, Sunday I went for BF. Very fun. Alot of things to eat when they changed sessions. Hahas. Ok, needa go. Tata.


Re-Cycle
Posted Wednesday, September 13, 2006 // 20:16
Went to Ke Qi house yesterday to watch Re-Cycle. Actually, we were suppose to be at Mc doing our projects but we suddenly had the urge to watch horror movies. Went to Video Ezy. Wanted to watch some other movies but Ke Qi INSISTED to watch Re-Cycle. LOL. She da jie da ma, cannot defy her de. So we packed up, bought some snacks and went to Ke Qi's house. First thing, all of us settled down and grabbed some pillows and stuffed-toys, second thing, make ourselves comfortable, lastly, enjoy the movie. Actually me and Ke Qi was stitting at the back then only we two never cover here and there. The rest was like wha lao no need to see the movie liao lar! LOL. Then me and Ke Qi decided to move infront of the TV set and lie down on a matteress. Well, the movie was kind of scary in the sense that it has many parts that really give you alot of shocks. Overall, I think that this show is not so scary lar. Only the faces of the 'ghost' in the movie is very hideous. Gross. The ending was quite lame actually. I also don't quite understand the whole show. Today, went to Tech-Hub to pack Lego and clean up. I enjoy vacumming the carpeted area. Hahas. Vacum half-way, that Vichet come and open the whole thing then cannot use ler. So sway. After I vacumed that area, we packed Lego. Went back after that and saw Mr Neo together with Mr Ho. LOL. Helen was blushing all the way. Anyways, thanks Mr Neo for the turtle. Although I don't know the reason why you did so, but I appreciate it. Thanks alot. I think you are the one that gives us the motivation throughout the whole competition. I hope what I heard about you is not true and that we can continue working together.


School re-open
Posted Monday, September 11, 2006 // 20:54
Still not use to school. Slept in Mdm Tong's lesson today. I think I'm goanna flunk my End-Of-Year examinations. I am not focus in class, lazy to do self-revision, hate doing homeworks! ARGH! I am so frustrated with myself! Besides all these to worry, I still have to worry about the un-sold A-cash and NJRC 2007. Projects waiting for me to complete, need to catch up in Maths and my Science is totally slacking! Forget it. It is not too bad to be in e2 yeah? Fine. I just slack throughout the whole term and let me remain in e2 or even drop to e3. Sick and tired of craps waiting for me in school. Now, I totally lost my positive attitude towards school. Wanted to revise Maths just now but the sight of books irritate me. I SIMPLY HATE BOOKS! My MSN had some problems now and I can't get online... SOBS. Tmr Mdm Tong will not be coming and we are going to have a free period. Going to miss more lesson. Getting closer and closer to EOY. Really giving up soon...


Sumobot competition
Posted Saturday, September 09, 2006 // 23:51
Next morning, we went SSC and we waited till like 1pm for the sumobot competition to start. First, we went to line up to inspect our robots. Things like measure wt and lght. Funny thing is, they never check for things like use more then 1 Lego set. So Ezekiel went to help us register then we went to check our sumobots. Ezekiel's sumo passed wt and lght. Mine too. Wei Hao very unlucky. The robot inspector say his sumo got 3 motors must remove one. The problem is, Ezekiel's sumo and my sumo also have 3 motors but we kept our mouths shut. Wei Hao obediently removed the motor and then the cheif judge for sumo come and nag at the robot inspectors; "Make sure all got 2 motors har! Ask them don argue. We say 2 means 2 ok! Must be very strict!". So noisy. Then we 3 were asked to go in and wait. We were then issued a red ribbon to tie on our heads. LOL. But when we are inside, Ezekiel put back the 3rd motor for Wei Hao and blocked it with some Lego. LOL. He did a clean job. I mean, it is really this easy to cheat as there is only one inspection through out the whole thing unless some people wants yours to be checked. So I also used some Lego to block. Quite a clean job too. When we were about to enter, we saw Sherwin, Aloysius and Kai Xin at the sprint there. Wha, they wear vest we tie ribbon. Their's nicer. LOL. Then we were like quite far apart so we gestured things like thumbs-up and OK at each other. Sprint queue was fast. Sumo queue was quite slow. When I went out, I saw all the spectators cheering and making lots of noise, I was so stressed. When I saw my own friends and teachers, I more stress. I really very scared cos my robot in the first place should not pass the inspection. So I scared I win my opponent then they not happy say I got 3 motors. All on luck one. Is randomly picked opponents. I am suppose to fight Wei Hao but we did a shuffle with other school becos they also don't wan to fight their own schoolmates. First match, all 3 of us won. Then we line up behind the qurur again and we were like so relived when we know all 3 was in. Then second round went in, that Jia Ren was there shouting and shouting. LOL. He is so cute. Saw Helen taking pic of me... Grrr! I look so stupid with that red ribbon tied on my head. LOL. Second round I also win. So I walked past the spectators and Hi-5 with Jia Ren then Shook Mr Goh's hand. LOL. So nevous... First few founds, the 3 of us pia till the end lor. All win. But got one match, very unlucky. Wei Hao won but his sumo was crushed. So we 3 gathered to help him fix back. We was like comforting each other and cheering each other on. LOL. Suppose to be enemies on the field become friends. We 3 is like one team, don't look like individual. Because I saw some people fight with their own school-mates and when they win, they will also cheer. But then me and Ezikiel was asked to move up as there was a very big gap. Then Wei Hao right at the back still fixing his robot. This time, his 3rd motor was clearly exposed and a girl from HSCS saw and suspected and she told the judges there. When I saw this, I was so damn worried. But I dunno what happened, the judge checked mine instead of Wei Hao's. I don't know whether they got check his or not but I only know Ezekiel's one was checked ba. When she walked to me and ask me to take out my robot, I act as if I cannot hear then I say "huh?" alot of times. LOL. Haha. Then she bth she say your robot got how many motors. Then I say 2 lar, just now I kena check at the entrance so throughly, summore the cheif jugde say must be very strict in number of motors then she say ok. LOL. Passed again! Then the HSCS girl not happy. Hehe. I actually wanted to ask Ezekiel to knock her off so she can shut the hell up. But I scared later Ezekiel whack her then she not happy, request to check Ezekiel's one then he die so I think nvm lar. After a few match, left very few people. I also never see Sherwin at the Sprint queue le. Haii, he out from second round lers. Quite sad. Soon, left 10 sumos. Me and Wei Hao watch Ezekiel's sumo on action but he lost. We was like damn worried man. Then when he out that time, we was like wha die lar we two. Then my turn, I won again. When I was back at the queue for the next round, Wei Hao one also kena knock out. Left me from ADSS and only girl. I saw Wei Hao walk out of the arena I felt so sad for him... Because we 3 actually wanted to pia top 3. Haii... But now cannot lers. Then when my turn, I turn back look at my opponent's robot, I tell myself, I can join Wei Hao and Ezekiel lers. Ture enough. I went to the second playfield, Jia Ren down there so noisy. LOL. Then I tell Jia Ren I lose liao lar. Then wha, that stupid sumo thingy from Rulang Primary overturn my Xiao Qiang! Hmpf! My roach sumo! Then I realised something when my robot was on it's back wheels, I forgot to put my weights in front! I thought that guy robot will not overturn me with a flat plate infront but I was wrong. When he won that time, he was jumping and cheering I was like can you just shut the hell up! Me, not sore loser. I also think that he deserves to win too. His sumo is definately more powerful then me. So I put my sumo in the box and removed my head-band. Now, I knoe the feeling. I really felt like crying out loud. It is only a few more positions to top 3. If there got no one, I sure cry like mad. When I came out of the arena, Jia Ren they all come talk to me then I keep on kao pei that robot. LOL. Then Miss Sum say very good lers then ask them to clap for me. LOL. Felt more relax because I was on the verge of tears. Then later Wei Hao also tell me he feel like crying at that point of time also. Who won't? We already going to top, then out like this, really very heartache de. Then we went to to look for Ezekiel cos we scared he too sad liao. LOL. But he was outside trying to find out the reason why he lost. I think this is the way. When he lose, he will find the reason why and improve it. In school, both of them very kp, always ask me take out mine and fight. Cos they set my Xiao Qiang as a target. But then I really learnt alot from this competition and this is the first time I experience true team-work. Teamwork, very important. If Wei Hao, Ezekiel and I don't have this, I think we will be out even earlier. So, Wei Hao and Ezekiel, I think even if we were out from top 3, we are still winners. =) Oh yeah, Angels won the 4th championship. So, ADSSians, get ready for a day off. LOL. Ok, needa catch alot of sleep. Good-night.


Sumobot preparation
Posted // 23:42
Next day 8am reached school but I was late. Then we were briefed and all Sumobot-ers were required to pack one full Lego set. Show Mr Wee then can built le. But I totally 0 knowledge on robots so Pei Wei volunteer to help me built. At 8pm got a Sumo match. In the end I won. Wanna know why? Out of 6 Sumobots, only 2 uses 1 Lego set. The other 4 uses more than 1 Lego set which was disqualified. Then mine won Kai Xin's so I was the only winner. Tyco. Got 2 sushi from Mr Wee. Haha. But then Pei Wei hor, poor thing lor. Sorry ar Pei Wei. =P Then I was again asked to pack a new set of Lego. By the time I packed the Lego, it was already 1am+ le so Mr Neo Send me home. Next day 10am reach school, Mr Wee help me build the base and then we add parts to make it stable. Still lose to Ezekiel's sumobot. But then nvm lar. So the afternoon the rest modify their robots I did nothing... Then Vichet very funny. Jian Li go and put a chocolate muffin John bought and stuff it in his hand. That Vichet go and hug the chocolate muffin then later he dunno do what to it and at night he ate the muffin. LOL. So funny man him. After that at 6pm got another match. That match I still lost to Ezekiel's. We must choose 3 to go for sumobot so the actual match was later at 10pm. Went out to buy my weapon then come back. But then very late le Mr Wee still not here so Mr Neo Judge. Same, I lost to Ezekiel's only. But then half-way, my RCX put low-batt so I go change. Come back, mine won Ezekiel's. He not happy so he go change also. Vichet ask him take batteries from a green box which some are old batteries and tell him that it is new ones, and he belived. LOL. So I tell him take new ones from the pakaging because not fair I use new batt he use old batt. Still, lose to me. LOL. In the end, Ezekiel, Wei Hao and Me were choosen for the sumobot. Went home at night by Miss Sujena's car. Thanks Miss Sujena for sending us home! =)


NJRC camp
Posted // 21:39
Never touch comp for almost a week. This post will be damn long so split into 3. Busy with NJRC. Talk about the 3 day camp in first. Monday report at 10am. Woke up at 8am and we met at Mc to have breakfast then walked to school together. Reached there, unload our stuffs. Briefing first then do our NJRC stuffs. After lunch time, Helen and Kelly stayed at the Tech-Hub to do the robot while the rest of us went to but materails for the booth-design. After that Roy and Jun Hao decided to stay so we went to their houses to collect their belongings and then return to school. Monday, do banner from 9pm after dinner till 2++am then me and Helen go rest in room while Jun Hao and Kelly stay in Tech-Hub to do robot. Helen and I slept till like almost 4am then we realised that Kelly is still in the Tech-Hub so we went down and company her but Miss Sum forced us to sleep. So we all went to sleep until 7:30am. From morning 8am till the next morning 7:30am, only 5 hours sleep like that. Ok, not too bad. last 2 days to NJRC, very very stress. Tuesday, almost half day used to make our team t-shirt. Actually Helen is suppose to wait for Mr Chng to help her with mission 2 robot while Jun Hao, Roy and I were suppose to do the team t-shirt. Kelly wanted to accompany her but she insisted to stay on. What can we do? Can't move a stubborn cow eh? So we made till like 5pm and went to do our banner, but we were asked to fall in and we were all scolded for being lethargic. No choice, forced to do robot. So we planned to do our booth in the night but in the end, our plan failed. When eating our dinner, we were called down by Mr Neo to do our entreprenuer thingy. However, our robot for mission 2 was not even built! Imagine, the night before the competition and the robot is not built. So I asked Helen to go up to bulid then I accompany her. So we went up. 2:15am at that time. We wanted to duplicate Aloysius one but in the end we duplicated Johnathan's. What make me most worried is when Johnathan said that he is going for a short nap till 3am. At 3am, he will wake up and program mission 2 for himself and also us. So he went to sleep. After that, when his alarm snooze at 3am, we already completed. The worst thing comes. HE IS SO DIFFICULT TO BE WAKEN UP! Really. So I went down to check things in the staff workroom where Roy, Jun Hao and Kelly were suppose to do the banner. When I reached there, I saw Roy sleeping like a log. I knew he slept very ver y very long time ago. Forget it. Jun Hao was also sleeping but not like a log. I tapped him and he woke up. Kelly was doing the banner alone. But she told me that Jun Hao did help her. The banner is almost ready so I asked Jun Hao to go up to the Tech-Hub help us wake John up so he went up. That time he quite awake le. Even Jian Li and the rest there helped us to wake John up but to no avail... No choice. Wait till the competition then he program at free time. So I asked Helen to practice mission 1. When practicing, something went wrong with the robot so we went to change the programming. But the tablet screen was fading off. Old problem. We cannot fixed it at the time and Helen became so frustrated. So I left Helen to fix it. I ask Jun Hao to follow me to the playfield to test out again. Maybe sometimes is luck so if this time suceed then Helen does not need to use the tablet to change programming. But when Helen came to the playfield, she say what you two so smart do yourself lar, I go and accompany Kelly. I was like uh, I don't the programming girl. Since she hack care, why should I care? Then I tried to practice mission 1 together with Jun Hao. After practicing, I do mission 2. I place John's robot in the mission 2 playfield that was 6cm filled with water. Very very risky. So me and Jun Hao went down wanting to call Helen to solve the problem together. But when I reached the staff workroom, I asked Jun Hao not to knock cos Mr Neo is sleeping too. So we opened the window and peeped in and tried to look for someone who is not sleeping to open the door. But to my dissapointment, Helen was actually sleeping. I understand that the rest can sleep because the banner is done. Helen, I really felt very dissapointed when I actually can see you sleeping when you know that your job is not completed. No choice, Jun Hao and I rebuilt the robot to make the motors higher at around 5am going 6am. But not stable and the gear ratio don match so I was like forget it, built back the original... It is going to 6am and we have not taken a bath yet. Pathetic yeah? So when it is around 6am+ I put the robots in a green box and went to call them up in the staff workroom. Went up to change into team t-shirt then assemble le. I really dunno what happen, after that two ppl not happy. Wha lao, this kind of situation no time to flare up or show your anger lar please!!! ARGH!!! I WAS SO PISSED OUT AND DEAD TIRED!!! YOU KNOW!!! FROM MORNING 7:30am WAKE UP UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING 6am I NEVER EVEN TAKE A SINGLE NAP OR ANYTHING! In the bus, I slept like a log. Really cannot take it. In the end, Mission 1 and 2 all 0. Say really lar, I really very heartache when we got 0 points. After that return to school. Got lectured and then Kelly and I were choosen for the Sprint race and Sumobot respectively. After we were briefed, all robotics members were suppose to pack the Tech-Hub. But Helen, Kelly and I ended up eating dinner and packing Lego till like 10pm+. Reached home, unpack camp belongings, bathe and get ready to sleep already 11am+. Out of the 3 full days 72 Hours, I only slept for 12 hours, plus the night before the first day of camp lar. Really shag like hell man.

Hi, my name is Samantha. I love travelling, reading and meeting people from different walks of life. This is a documentation of my life and my travel adventures. In a way, it is a homage to faded memories of mine. The memory span of a human being is short, hence the existence of these memoirs. Because fifty years down the road, I want to look back, smile to myself and say: "I've lived my life with no regrets."
