SOSS: System of System Specification

It was evacuation accreditions or something like that today. Being absent-minded I only know about it yesterday night at 11pm. Which means if I slept earlier I would have woke up today not knowing there is anything going on in school at all. Actually I prefer to not go since I would have more time to study for SMO but I went so here are some epic moments 8D (grace would be interested in one of this, definitely).

During Truth or Dare:
-bottle spins to Nicole Chong-
Ciwei: OH NICOLE. Truth or dare? (choose dare!)
Nicole: ... Truth.
Me: Have you lost your first kiss to (hint hint)?
Ciwei: Yeah have you??
Joan and other: -Pressure pressure- HAVE YOU -more pressure-
Nicole: ...
Ciwei: Have right?!
Nicole: ...
Ciwei: Yes you did!!! See! Face red lao. Blushing eh.
Joan or others: Ya lor! Face red lao.
Nicole: My face always red what.
Ciwei: So you did right?
Nicole: ... I don't want to say la. ... ... -MAJOR- ....
Me: Yes you did, now move on.
-spins bottle-

-bottle spins to Joan-
Joan: Truth.
Ciwei: Why truth?? ): okok. Truth ah,
Ciwei and Nicole: Do you have any crushes?
Joan: Erm... nod nod.
Ciwei: How many?? (lol always so kpo)
Joan: One or two. (huh. its either one OR two, not both one or two.)

When PL senior playing songs:
-plays some korean songs with korean singers in the MV-
Ciwei me and other: EWww Major.
PL: What eww la He is very handsome okay.
-major laughter-


I failed my theory paper. But I pass practical :D Either I gain muscles or Beatrix is very light (glares at FISHY).

Busy beezy wheezy wooz

I just calculated and found out that, if I really follow my study plan for the holiday, meaning:
  • 5 days to study japanese,
  • Study Literature, History, Geography, Chinese for 2 days each,
  • Finish SIP and Geography PT (2 days at most),
  • Read physics textbook and finish Math homework - another 1 day
Considering that I only have 26 days left for the June holiday since the first few days will be solely for mugging mathematics, then after I've done all stuffs on the schedule I will only have 10 days left, and minus 2.5 days for art, I am left with... 7.5 days, 0.5 days for library trip, so 7 days, which is the last week of holiday to (idk) read all those books?

And my siblings are happily playing games -.-

Taming of a Violent Brother

I am now looking at childhood from my sister's perspective (since I grow up anti-social and my sister grow up loving parties and stuffs). Yeah a huge contrast, I know. Until now I still had no idea why my Primary 4sister finds it difficult to read my old books (such as Heidi and Robin Hood) when I read it all in Primary one. And why my sister and brother cannot read words that goes beyond those used in daily conversations, or how they already knew a huge range of vulgarities. And that is pretty ridiculous, they knew even more than me. I am secondary two and they are primary four and one respectively.

Then yesterday I found out that it might be due to the fact that they play outdoor every single day and mix with all those bad companies. (now which parent said playing outdoor is better for kids? I grow up playing with lego bricks at home and they grow up playing at playgrounds mixing with weird friends). Firstly, the amount of colourful languages they use, words such as 'shit' and 'stupid' and 'dumb' and 'damn' and more explicit ones are used on daily basis by those kids who are around my sister's age. And I only use them from time to time (not even at home! I don't speak english at home so there is no way my sister learns them from me).

Secondly, they have no manners. Like this annoying Indian girl who loves to bring her two other younger siblings to my house steps everyday and stand outside the door looking inside the house and keep asking me where my sister is... at 8pm or later at night. Don't they know people need privacy? And when I told them my sister is not free and that they shouldn't come so late, they ask me why. So I told them nicely that it's not something they should care about. And they ask me why again. So this time I got angry and I shouted at them to screw off (okay I use this exact phrase but you can't blame me) or else I will find their mother, and they still lag at my doorsteps asking for my sister. I nearly punch them, but I shouted even louder at them, and after a while they finally walk off.

Thirdly, their grammar is ._.   The girl says this: "[sister's name] at home? She now eat dinner?" I could make out the question, so I told them yes, please go home. She replied: "I come out house just now, don't want go back, wait for [sister's name] first come." And that was totally intelligible. If I hadn't lived with my uncle who is learning English, I wouldn't have understand it.

The last shocking revelation: Those kids plays hand-on-hand combat. Well, the nice way of putting it. But it's just actually lousy one-on-one fighting where they have one group versus another and just anyhow push one member out (usually the weakest) to fight and get beaten up. And when I was their age, during those rare occasions (before the swings were taken apart) when I went down to play the swings I only remember those people playing Catch and Freeze. Or other lame games. Just a few years and a great change in games -.-

Plus my brother is getting really violent. He hits and shouts all the time. I don't remember him talking nicely to anyone (but me? I guess I am a good sister). So I devised this plan (using B. F. Skinner's theory of behavior and reinforcement of consequenses) to change my brother's violent behaviour. I shall punish him (by making him reflect on his behaviour for a period of time and increase the time if this punishment is not effective, or by prohibiting him from playing downstairs) if he misbehave and reward him if he behaves.

When his behaviour shows an improvement, I will slack on the rewards so that he don't grow dependent on it, and keep the punishment same. This experiment shall take about 1 to 2 years or even more, so its a long term one. (was thinking is I should keep a report on it, sadly school don't allow this sort of cool psychological experiments for SIP)

Naming it Taming of Violent Brother (after shakespeare's taming of the shrew, even though I find that play sexist).

"globules of liquid that are surrounded by a thin film of gas"

I feel really sleepy today. I think it must be due to my lack of sleep on monday and tuesday. And wednesday. No wonder I slept till 11am today. Actually I woke up at 5am because my bladder is bursting, then after sitting on the toilet bowl for (I don't know how long, I can't tell time when my brain is dead) I went back to sleep.

Yesterday's sport fest was epic! (not because the sport fest itself was fun, in fact it was boring and I don't even feel any 'house spirit' or 'school spirit' they claim we are feeling) After school (I was running everywhere during the science period to get my materials for SIP) I found Fishy outside Anderson's waiting for Carol to collect the strings needed to tie friendship band so Grace and I went to collect to in hopes of getting more CIP hours for this year. (haha we got one more than fishy)

The 105 bus was so crowded. When it first arrived at the bus stop it's really empty, then the stupid bus driver decided to stop it halfway through the bus stop so Fishy, Carol, Huilin, Grace and I struggle to get onto the bus. Those fucking RGS girls are so kiasu, so they keep pushing me and (my oh so poor) bag in order to get onto the bus . I got really angry so I swear at them and push them (by walking backwards a little and sticking my back out) and they stop pushing me. Can't they just wait and get onto the bus in a civilised manner? The capacity of the bus is constant, so no matter how much they pushed, if the bus is too full to let them get in, they can't get in anyway. What is the point of fighting to get onto the bus? On the bus I overheard Sec ones talking about how awesome this particular Arielle  is and so I got Grace to point out for me who Arielle is. She is totally 180 degrees different from what Zhixin told me about. (either that or we just have different perceptions of what 'cute' is).

We had KFC at some mall place. After finish the (spicy and therefore not nice) zinger burger, I went to ask the staffs at the counter about the sort of eggs they use for their egg tarts. The staffs didn't understand my question at first and told me they use liquid eggs, and I was thinking like "of course the egg would be in its liquid form, what else would you use anyway? Hard boil?" So I ask specifically the animal that lay the egg, and the staff call out a whole ton of other staffs and ask them about it. One staff then tell me: "I don't know what animal lay it, but we use 鸡蛋." Which translates to chicken, meaning a chicken lay it. I then ask, so you meant a chicken lay it? And the lady had this confused look and nodded her head in this unsure manner. Talk about the quality of staffs working in KFC! They don't even know the basic main ingredient use in their egg tarts!

After a while I went forward to another staffs and ask if the soccer players on the waterbottles they are sellings are really soccer players, and the staff at the counter is unsure again.
Staff: "I don't know, but I suppose they are all soccer players"
Me: "Do you like, have a profile of those people? To make sure they are pure soccer players?"
Staff: - signal a white shirt staff and whisper something in her ears-
Manager: "They are all soccer players, really."

And I thought all staffs should be well-trained? Why should they confirm with someone else before answering questions? Fishy told me I'm definitely going to be on KFC's blackmark list for asking intelligently-crafted questions like this several times (I ask them before at another KFC).

When we walk out of the store I notice that the poster they put up to advertise their egg tarts has two different type of eggs, one type is brownish yellow and the other one is white, so Carol and I reach the conclusion that the brownish-yellow ones are the chicken eggs with shells, and the white ones are either duck egg or hard boiled egg, which doesn't make sense because the the staffs just told me they use chicken eggs, and how do you ever make tarts with hard-boiled ones? I keep in mind to ask them about this in the future.

I drank four cups of milo at the stadium. And I got very annoyed at everyone cheering and making so much noise. I see a possible cause of noise pollution somewhere here. Can't RGS girls keep their mouth shut just for one sec? Is it that difficult? I don't care all the crap about showing support and love for the school because I do not like the school AT ALL. I didn't even know those people in the school are so noisy and rowdy. And I see no point sports fest. I bet if the school didnt make it compulsory, only a small percentage of the school will turn out. Even Carol's dad told her to sneak out of the stadium and go home.

Sport fest is totally useless, what exactly do you do there? Get bored and have your eardrums burst by hundreds of people shouting or by the speaker right next to you while watching people run and trip. And despite asking the teacher managing the speaker to turn down the volume TWO times, the volume still remains so loud. I doubt that the Tao Payoh residents even appreciates the stupid cheer those people gave them at the end of sports fest. Plus the cheerleader's dance ain't even coordinated! Look at the pompoms! I bet China can do so much better than them, and China wont choose sucky songs like Barbie dolls or whatever for their cheerleading dances. The Buckle cheer itself was stupid. It was suppose to have a tune according to what my class did (something I didnt participated in) but when I hear those people cheering it yesterday, there was no tune at all. I can't even make out some words of the cheer.

The good thing was, of course, me and gang crowded around this table at the IVP's stand (where the teachers were sitting comfortably at their chairs) to watch the stuffs going on. We are enjoying the same privileges as the teachers while other people cheer and cheer away. (I didn't bother cheering, I was laughing rather sadistically at the other people who are cheering.)

I like that railing seperating the seats. I like jumping over it! (Carol lol she crawl under it :D)

Abnormality is underrated.

I'm taking a weeny teeny bit of time away from my mad midnight homework chiongning to post some crap. Hah! I manage to finish the chinese filing all by evening. I got home, dump bag onto the floor, threw one whole stack of worksheets on the floor and got my sister to help me sort out the worksheets and filter the chinese ones out in exchange for my permission to let her switch on the air-conditioner :D (air-con waste so much electricity. If we all use less air-con, maybe years down the road temperature could get cooler!) See I'm such good at bargaining. Like I exchange my half-finish slurpee with her for 60 cents. I wasted money on slurpee today (eer, must learn to control my temptations to eat ahem).

Then I went to bathe (yucks, the result of walking back home in the afternoon under the scorching hot sun). And when I come back my sister finish all the categorising of worksheets so I can proceed on to happy filing. I of couse didnt lose/cannot find any worksheets since I'm always put the worksheets in THAT poor corner of my poor table. Perhaps that's why that not-so-poor-after-all corner of that table is so shiny smooth-y spot-free white while the other pathetic parts of my table vanished/dissappear under all the black marks, pencil markings, dust and all. So anyway, proceed to filing. I'm so 用心 that I photocopy the other page of the table of contents so that I can have one page for every divider :D (or was it due to my OCDs?)
I'm kind of missing only my xiaolianbi 2, but Lingwei can't find hers too so I hope its okay. I'm also missing corrections of spelling since I didnt even do in the first place, and have a few (2 or 3) blank worksheets but its overall super neat and tidy okay! (and I realised that humongous amount of chinese homework I ever did since the start of my I-hate-doing-linguistic-homework-and-since-chinese-teacher-is-always-more-blur-I-shall-not-do-Chinese-homework phase. I mean, only 2 to 3 blank w/s and missing spelling corrections, other homework all completed nicely with good quality! Zhang laoshi has some sort of witch-y effect on me.)

Filing ends... 1 hour later? (Because I am missing all the dates for the worksheets. I don't even write my name, what makes me think I remember the date ._. )

The next part of my chiongning was making sure my SIP project works and then drafting out the methods and stuffs. Which I finish... after a five minute break playing computer and 20 minutes eating lunch and being distracted my TV, WHICH IS AN IMPROVEMENT. I am trying to do my homework! And I'm starting on 议论文. So am I being to ambitious if I say I want to finish all the homework...today?

Because I am going to need the three hours of aesthetics to memorise the Footdrill accred notes (the commands with malay words I can't read, basically.) Since I don't want to fail it again, I certainly don't enjoy marching in uniforms every week! (my smelly socks yucks. yucks more.)

Writing mushy crap stuffs that I don't even believe in myself for my 议论文 on 家庭凝聚力. Let's just say I google it and it copying this huge chunk of the good phrases.

I like nice nice emails warning people of the consequences their actions have on environments. I feel guilty if I use air-con you know, so I thought I shall ask the congress if they could regulate the use of air-cons. But then everyone will be complaining about how hot it is (open the windows!). So argh. This year's shangri-la's thing is during the holidays! If not I get more days of holidays.

Taopayoh is  on the red line. hooray and looking forward to taking the circle line. Well at least I need to learn how to get to JC in the future, ya' know. I shall bring Grace to see the ahem*** shop on thursday while we go eat KFC. 8)

I like the smell of that machine thing at redhill. The elevator machine thing. Though I don't think its quite good for my health to inhale such stuffs, but I just like the smell!

What part of "I don't help strange people do their homework" do you not understand? Annoyed.

Romeo and Juliet heh heh. Me and grace spent half and hour debating about whether the guy acting Romeo is Leonardo di Caprio or not. We decide to let sex scene (though it was fast forwarded but I saw naked bodies entwined) decide. I won :D

Yawn and yawns more.

Knowledge is Power

One must work and dare if one really wants to live. - Vincent van Gogh

I feel worned out. Wasted the whole of today, again... :(  Open house was okay, I mixed all the salts of all colours together, and instead of getting beautiful rainbow crystals I got something that roughly resembles those stuffs in the toilet bowl after a constipation session. I really love the crystals, but blur me forgot to bring one home D:  And Peishan's clock was on display! That was such a surprise ya'know. Though I must admit it's creative. BUT STILL. Secondary 1s do such cool and cute toys for design and techonology. (i think mine was on display last year). I feel so :/ after seeing the SAP people's artwork. I really should have join SAP. But nevermind, I shall just try for RAs and work harder during art lessons. School makes me brain-dead during art lessons and I cannot concentrate or draw nice nice at all. House cheers reminds me of those stupid house practices. And there are way too many people in the school for open house, I felt so overwhelmed. Grace found my poster in the toilet lol.

I really should start doing homework, but somehow don't feel like doing. I just want to sleep all day for one whole week :]  since thursday is sports fest I wont be going for japanese lessons. What a relief. The sensei has obviously a very bad impression of me now since I didnt buy the new textbook and just talk nonstop during lessons. Stutter a lil' too much during show and tell but at least memorise the script! I am thinking of changing japanese class to tuesday after the holiday, so I'm going to email the sensei. After Math Olympiad I am also going to seriously study the japanese notes. At least I need to understand what the teacher is talking about in class right?

Sometimes I really want to drop japanese. I mean, I don't even like languages! I rather memorise the whole textbook on physics, chemistry and biology than all the vocabulary for english, chinese and japanese. And I suck at english grammar. But dropping it would be a waste! and since I already spent money on the books I shall just continue, right? Plus my competitive nature is preventing me from dropping, so this means I am going to mug extra hard. In my whole life I've never really study so I'm not sure how I'm going to study this language right.

I'm more addicted to my X-men book actually, but all the sleepiness and moodiness is preventing me from enjoying any book. All 'cause of Math Olympiad! But it is reall very very important and crucial to my future ):

I shall sleep now. Not going to be late for art again tomorrow.

Death by drowning due to stupid emotional tears of stupid emtional females

“The greatest weakness of all is the great fear of appearing weak.” Jacques Benigne Bossuel

My results are below expectations again D: I don't know who that person who said that quote is, but I totally don't agree with it man. I'm super ai mian zi and so far nothing too bad happen to me.
 Other than my lousy marks.

Jap show and tell is crap. I give up.

CANNOT GIVE UP
ARGH DON'T CARE LA

I find it stupid, that people on facebook are joining stupid fanpages about BGR and crap. Hello everyone we are 14! Its not even half your life lived! let say you live till 50 that is. I rather read all those books in the library.

You know why we females are degraded and treated worse than animals? Because stupid females are too emotional. They can't even stand for themselves. They just do what others want them to do. basically give birth and give birth more. Can't females find the strength to stand up for equality of genders? And the most basic way to do so is not to be hurt by stupid 14  year old guys dumping stupid 14 year old girls, and then all those irritating annoying fan pages dissappears too :D

I'm rambling.

But my point is FEMALES SHOULDN'T BE SO EMOTIONAL. I mean there is of course a good side to it, like females are more compassionate and kind than males, and less violent, but they should sometimes think rationally too. Males suck man. People know that! Males are non-compassionate, more violent, and some of them are dumbass too. Some la. I mean I must admit that yeah, they are good in math and science. But females reproduce:D Not the stupid males. So why are we letting them bully us? Like even until now there are sexism around the world. My paternal grandma is totally @&%$! She thinks that the role of females is give birth and give birth more. And they should let the males control and do everything, and not like control the husbands. Of course after i finally pass my jap i will learn how to scold her in jap :D

SIP!!

Death by vomitting after seeing unhygenic people perform disgusting acts

If you find a hundred dollars on the ground do you pick it up and keep for yourself or give it to the police? I mean, there is no way to return to the owner so the police station will probably use it for themselves, then it would be better if you just keep it? Like maybe the notes have seriel/serial/dk-what-rial number then at least the owner can identify. Then what if I found one dollar on the ground? There is no identification and if I give it to the GO they just keep it in school funds anyway so I can keep it right?

Yesterday's 2.4km was like errr, okok la. I was running my last round, then I saw ___ running in front of me, and I cannot stand losing to her in 2.4 so I dashed and sprinted for the last part and got a 16.26min. Which is pretty good, considering that I stop excersing. OH AND DC ON WEDNESDAY WAS SO FUNNY. Obviously me and grace don't feel responsible for the lights and fans thing and so we were very very pissed off about the DC, and somehow I link my points to overpopulation :D I wrote 4 pages! (not exactly a reflection since one page was spent on picking out the flaws of the school education system).

Everything else went okay. HELLO GRACE I DONT HAVE THAT DEEP A KNOWLEGDE IN TORTURE METHODS and I certainly empathise with people suffering :D
Results still not up to expectatios but whatever.

And did I mention that awefully disgusting incident during english discussion today? ___ was laughing and some white gooey thing flew out of her mouth/nose and landed on someone's jacket and she took that huge chunk of white gooey thing and put in her pocket, then without washing her hands, proceed on to do the LA thing. And I was so disgusted I ran out of the class and stay there for approximately five minutes minus human reaction time and the time needed for me to dash out of the classroom (trust me, it's faster than my shuttle run results), lest I vomit. I am probably scarred for life unless she is not my classmate next year (that would be my happiest thing ever besides getting my RAs). I still havn't regain my appetite yet.

Ms Ng (the cca one) is my science teacher for the Integrated Science Module. We 'played' who is it which is basically people wrote 4 to 5 sentences about themselves and let others guess. Mine went like:
  1. I like colour-coded stuffs which is why this is written in purple ink (against purple paper) even though I really really like blue.
  2. I have a bit of OCD-ness
  3. I am sane and not weird.
  4. I like Bugs Bunny, Spongebob, Sherlock Holmes and Tom&Jerry
  5. I watch cartoon all the time
  6. I like Nightcrawler from X-men
  7. My all-time favourite movie is X-men
  8. I love food which is why I gonna be a food critic.
  9. Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, da Vinci and Hitler rocks!
  10. I like coloured-pens, notebooks and plushies
  11. I love physics and math!
Nicole got my card and somehow guessed it was me from "Sigmund Freud". BUT WAS IT THAT OBVIOUS IT'S ME?? I mean as compared to Grace's "I want to go home early after school". Or something like that.

Am I the only lonely souls in the 213 that really love physics and math and thought they were the most interesting subjects?
Am I the only lonely souls in the 213 that is really tempted to read the whole physics and math textbook the day before exams?

crycrycry D<

>( People are so weird. What is so bad about physics?

Xinyu ask me if I want to sign up for computer programming lessons next year. It seems interesting. And perhaps I could learn cool codes. And make cool stuffs. And get LEAPS points.

Chinese debate was simply horrifying. I have to practise for godknowshowlong before I finally finally get those awkward words out for I am the first speaker -.-

Death by Google's satellite invasion of privacy

Google maps is so cool!

I was at Bill Amend's old site where he talk about Jason being amazed with google's satellite maps. Being curious I went there for a look. And tada, spent over three hours on the site stalkin my classmates -.- BUT IT IS VERY VERY VERY COOL! 8D

I could see my house (or that road outside my house). I place that orange guy on the road and saw the street view! But I place the photos any where from 2007 to 2009 because when I went to Jurong Point (was planning to stalk on Vanessa in her condo), the condos are still under renovation. So if I went around the place near Fishy's house I might see her Primary 4 self walking around. I tried stalking Zhixin muahaha :D

I went to ahem visit some other places around the world. Like Australia's Sydney Opera house. I tried to zoom into Amazon forest and see the animals in there but failed terribly. So I tried to go Egypt and see those pyramids there, but couldnt find Cairo D: Then I went to Pisa but cannot find the Leaning Tower of Pisa, so I went Greece, but cannot find Delphi! Then I went to Shanghai (I was thinking of peeking at Shanghai's shibohui thing) and got lost. So I zoom in on Beijing (I thought I could see the Great Wall of China 8D but that failed too.

Which left me stuck with stalking myself, Zhixin, Ariel and Fishy. And Annie. Then I thought of zooming in on Bermuda Triangle (and perhaps solving the mystery and earning big bucks!) but I couldn't locate that damn triangle -.-

Wanted to see the polar bears so I zoom in on Artic but everything is so white D:

Then I thought of going to the Singapore Zoo on the map (if I could see those animals this way then I won't need to visit the zoo anymore xD ). Couldn't locate the zoo D:

I saw kukup on the map! But I can't zoom into it. I'm going to download the Google Earth plugin xD Then I could see everything in 3D! Then I will find out Grace's address and stalk her :D If I could zoom in enough and have a peek into her house perhaps I could copy her homework too! (When I zoom in on RGS and put that little orange man on Andersons Road I saw construction work going on outside the RGS main gate O: )

[I can't find Mount Fugi at Japan!]
[I can't find that hotel I stayed in during primary five's China immursion tour!]
[Where is joanne?]

p/s: I think the photos were taken last year.
pp/s: I see IMM!
ppp/s: I see how small Singapore really is. :/
