back on track

my my. maths today was the most fun maths paper i've sat for since i entered JC, because for the first time, i manage to get back the hang of doing mathematical problems. i'd say today was a yay paper. not that i would get an A. that would be an astronomical leap from what i've been getting for maths this year. i still remember the tutorial which i never did, the probablity tutorial, it's still on that piece of brown wrapping paper. As in, i copied the tutorial on a piece of brown wrapping paper in a myriad of Zigg marker colours (thanks adz for the Zigg markers!). Mr Tay was actually shocked when he saw how colourful my tutorial was. Not that anything i copied down means i understood them. It was just copying for the sake of copying (yeah, you've probably done the same too!). That proves to be my own undoing coz today, i really didn't like the probablity, PnC, and all the funny stats questions. aye... on a lighter note, (i heard this on the train home today) if David is the son of Jane, then Jane is the _________ of David's mother? name! on another lighter note, i think it's weird to do literal translation. E.g: matin: Chongs... How was maths paper today? cl: Ugh... U know, maths is so not my cup of tea... adz: Ugh... so bukan aku punya cawan teh... On a heavier note, prelims is in 10 weeks time. God says if you fail to plan, then you're planning to fail.

suck physics suck

physics suck no way am i going to do better than what i got for my previous common test. i know why. coz all the time during season, when we had matches on monday, we skip like physics prac and tutorials. that means we only had physics lecture to learn from, which we sometimes missed too coz of thursday matches. erp. physics suck. God says GGXX! (oh no... maybe God is a manjen..! eeeeps)

ma me mo

mamle mamle mamle mo... ma me mo ahoy. NS Med Check Up takes a really long time. i wonder why they test us on IQ puzzles after the whole check up is done. to filter out the clever from the cleverer? hmmm. but each will have his role i'm sure. i was just thankful that i didn't have to take the blood test. because from past experience, it is very painful. they just took a small prick to confirm my blood is Aplus. 'A' seems like a very good letter this week (it's common test week some more!) coz after the doctor saw my dick and all (customary for this check up, don't worry, you'll get yours looked at too!) he gave me a PES A. eh, no more slacking in NS eh? we'll see. and the worst part was to sit down and shade the OTAS form about national education. of all things. eeee it isn't very fun. the IQ test was quite fun, i could answer all the questions within the stipulated time. but there wasn't the puzzle that chang wen got to do, the one about memorise a sequence of numbers. all in all, it was half a day gone and thus i think my physics will suffer. i have absolutely no confidence in physics at all. this is so bad. this is just alevel physics, what more s paper physics? sounds like i'm in desperate need of help. God says God will help others who help themselves. Tata.

jigg

impenjarament was like an impenjarament to me. i felt sufffocated at the start, coz i was trying very hard to understand what was going on (maybe i should go into prison to know what's up in there? NO! Crazy...). and the characters were kinda too large (not just physically), as in you see a lot of them yet you still don't know what they actually want. i couldn't find a real plot in the play. just some story-telling here and there. what was most impressive must be the set, never have i seen one like that before. the only drawback with the set was that the metal plates serving as "cement flooring" were too noisy when the actors stomped on them. i expected too much i suppose, silly. now back to reality. COMMON TESTS BEGIN TOMORROW. BIO FIRST. INSYALLAH lah eh mana tahu this time boleh buat betul-betul pasal dah belajar maybe dapat results baik eh... Doa-doakan lah aje eh... ok selamat to all. maaf zahir batin.

the prelude

I am watching Impenjarament this sat evening. Yay... I think it's the perfect prelude to common tests. With sheesha, then it'll be perfect. Ayye, maybe sheesha can wait. In about one week's time, I will be taking common tests as well as going for the NS medical check up. After quite a number of my close friends who went for it, it seems like there's already a pattern emerging for this medical check-up. Not that i want to speculate too much, but it seems that my manjen friends got PES A (physical exercise status A) while my mat friends who are equally if not fitter than them, only managed a PES B. What does it take to get PES A man? Is it no "bin"s in your name? Gosh, why am I so racist? I better control myself. This entry is meant to be taken light heartedly, of course. Please don't sue me.

Anyway,
here's a shoutout to my good friend, Adzfar, who just turned legal early this month, with his own blog. Mine looks and sounds insipid compared to his. Everybody say aye.....A little advertisement here certainly wouldn't hurt.

4S Programme

TIME TO START STUDYING!

hello taggers!

Hello taggers! Ther: Oh my u should have come! Evonne saw it and i think she enjoyed it. And thanks ther! Z:I still dunno who u are. Naughty fella. Dwidarma is called dwidarma because firstly, we put up 2 plays, and dwidarma is intended to tell people that there are 2 plays (dwidrama). And also, it means dual responsibilities, because both plays involve characters having to deal with dual responsibilities, like the Pegawai's responsibility towards his community and then towards his family. In Mayat, the responsibility is between doing the right thing and saving oneself from the mess. So i hope Dwidarma makes you happy... so?: thanks so much for coming yesterday! hope you had fun... :) Thanks so much to all the cast and supporting crew for making Dwidarma a success. Though it wasn't a sellout, nevertheless, I think everyone who came saw and learnt something. Do I hear encore?

DWIDARMA is coming to town!

Everyone who happens to be reading this, it's not too late to purchase a DWIDARMA ticket. Just make sure that you set your alarm at 6pm, so that you can wake up on time to go to RJC tomorrow and reach there by 7plus pm. If you haven't bought tickets (which obviously you should have already done by now!) then just buy over the counter at the door. Oh! Don't come alone! Bring your entire family and all your friends too! The more the merrier! We are showing a family show anyway. So bring spare cash, so you can freely spend on tickets. Also, not to worry, we are preparing special prayer rooms for you. Don't have to ambil wuduk from home, there are washing areas nearby. Also, this show won't end extremely late, by ten it's all over hopefully, and you can all go to Adam Road by either 156, 93 or 157 and have a family supper! Woah how exciting. What else, sleep now la, wake up early and tell the rest about this tomorrow. And make sure, cancel all plans to do anything else but just come for DWIDARMA!
