Movie Reviewz- Valkyrie

Hey everyone, I'm back! Thanks anyway for the not-so-bad responses coming in from my classmates and teachers, I really appreciate them. Something to repay for? Definitely yes! Here's the absolutely new segment in my blog---Movie Reviewz. from the name, you will know that I'll be introducing movies that I've watched thus far (not that old, but exciting ones). Here's the first Movie reviewz, hope you all like it!

Movie Reviewz- Valkyrie

Valkyrie is a true story that depicts the assasination plot targeting Adolf Hitler in the middle 20th century. The main character in this enthrilling film is Colonel Claus von Stauffenburg, the guy who planned the plot. He is played by the all-famous Tom Cruise. It involves a secret plan to assasinate the most evil tyrants on Earth, the German war dictator Adolf Hitler. The plot starts when Stauffenburg is evacuated back to Nazi Germany after he was wounded in Tunisia.

Meanwhile, the first minor assasination plot was carried out. Major General Henning von Treschow attempted an assasination by setting up a bomb onboard the Fuhrer's personal airplane. It did not succeed, as it failed to detonate but Treschow managed to retrieve it. Later, Stauffenburg is recruited into the German Resistance after Major General Hans Oster is arrested. The German Resistance is a group targeted to kill Adolf Hitler for a good cause (duh).

The idea of Operation Valkyrie (In German, Walkure) was developed and von Stauffenburg brings it to the German Resistance. the overall plot is to maintain order while deploying the Reserve army. Then they can destroy the Nazi regime after assassinating Hitler. However, realising that only General Fromm can only initiate Operation Valkyrie, they seek help from him. Fromm refuses to agree to the terms but after a few rounds of negotiations, they succeed but Fromm still refuses to be directly involved with Valkyrie. As such, the rewritten order needs Hitler's signature (which is literally impossible). Luckily, with help from von Stauffenburg's inner circle, Hitler praises von Stuffenburg's heroism in North Africa and signs the orders without looking carefully at the modifications.
 
At the final briefing, Colonel Mertz von Quirnheim instructs the commitee members to use pencil detonators (bombs). Von Stauffenburg also persuades General Fellegiebel to cut off all communications after the bomb detonation. Then, on July 15, 1944, von Stauffenburg attends a strategy meeting at Wolf's Lair. But without Himmler's reply, von Stauffenburg does not get the order to go-ahead until the meeting is over. With the plan not going to order, von Stauffenburg safely extracts himself and the undetonated bomb from the bunker. Although this plan did not take action, they had another crucial chance. On July 20th 1944, another conference was held. Von Stauffenburg and Lieutenant Haeften attended the conference with their pencil detonators.

What will happen next? Will the bomb detonate powerful enough to kill Hitler? Will operation Valkyrie be carried out successfully? Watch the movie yourself to find out!

Overall Rating=> 4/5

Book Review 4-Simon Bloom (The Octopus Effect) - Michael Reisman

YAY! Here's my last required book review for Term 3. Hope you guys like it!

Book Review 4: Simon Bloom (The Octopus Effect) by Michael Reisman

This book is a continuation of Simon Bloom (The Gravity Keeper), so I should say that this is Book No.2.

Firslty, let me introduce this book to you. So in this world, there's this Knowledge Union, a secret organization responsible for making sure that the universe runs smoothly. This is already wierd: I don't even know this! (But yep, it's only a story) The most important people in The Knowledge Union is the Board Of Administration who then looks after The Council Of Sciences.They are like the Parliament of Singapore and some VIPs. Following that, it divides into three main groups: The Order Of Physics, The Order Of Chemistry and The Order Of Biology. Actually,there's one more group that's also important in this thrrrrrrrrrrrillllllling story: the Historical Society. They are the persona of the story, or I should say, the narrator.

Then comes the main characters. Simon Bloom is the Keeper Of Physics (in this book, yes, but in the previous, he's the co-keeper). He controls the gravity that pulls us to the ground, and can make things get extremely heavy or extremely light. He is joined by two of his friends: Owen Walters and Alysha Davis. Owen controls direction and speed, while Alysha can discharge electricity. However, not all things in the world runs smoothly. There will be bad guys who would LOVE TO blow up the universe (not me). Especially this woman called Sirabetta, or in her Union nickname, Sir. She's a rebel of the Union (if I'm not wrong), and she had already fought with Simon Bloom in the previous book. She lost, and was turned into a thirteen year-old teenager.

In this book, however, a few of the order members decided to rebel and made Sirabetta to return to her former self. Simon and his friends must follow Sirabetta to the Order Of Biology realm, a vast undersea dome filled with harsh terrain and fearsome monsters. They will get some needed help from their old friends and also use some biology to absorb some wild abilities! Yep. And another WAR happens and ya, an EPIC battle of EPIC proportions. What are you waiting for? Grab that EPIC book for the library or any bookstore NOW! While Stocks Last! (Wait a minute, this is not an advertisement)\

I would give it a EXCELLENT rating as this book already entices me to continue reading and reading it! Hope you guys like it!!!

HIP HIP HOORAY!!!

Book Review 3-The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Hey peeps, I'm back again. Need to hurry, coz the deadline is very near!

So here's my third book review:

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

This exciting book was written over 100 years ago, but it doesn't matter, because in the end, the story is still appealing to readers. This book, along with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, is one of the most famous books of that time until now. Tom Sawyer depicted Mark Twain as a child, with a few of his childhood friends are also written inside the book (the names have been changed).

If I'm not wrong, the story is set in the 1840's or so in Missouri along the Mississipi River. Aunt Polly is raising Tom, his half-brother, Sid, and Mary. Sid and Mary are good children. Tom, on the other hand, is always in trouble. Even when he doesn't do something wrong, he finds a way to be in trouble. When the weather is good, he skips school and goes swimming. He goes out and plays Robin Hood (extremely familiar name- reincarnated or what?) with his friend Joe Harper when he should be studying. He sneaks out at midnight to meet Huckleberry Finn at the graveyard with a dead cat (something to ponder about? CREEPY). Aunt Polly keeps trying to get Tom to behave, but yeah, boys are boys. You should know why.
Tom knows how to exchange treasures for his own gain. He uses his treasures to get a Bible, show his love, or bribe a friend. He is a young entrepreneur of his age. Not bad, eh? I wish I could be like him, but alas, I'm a youth now....
Once, they went into a cemetery for some fun adventure. However, it brought extra trouble for them. They witnessed a murder. Afraid of their own lives, they swore to keep quiet. They knew Injun Joe would kill them as well if he knew they had seen his act. Now what do they do?

Tom is unforgettable and this book is just right for the young and young-at-heart. I would strongly recommend this American classic. It's definitely worth reading and re-reading. The books shows the joy of childhood as well as the acceptance of change.

Actually, I really don't know how long should we write for a single book review. Some write very very very long, while others are extremely short. Can someone answer my questions? Thanks.

Youth Olympic Torch Relay-7/8/2010

Hey wassup peeps!


By looking at the title, you will think that I'm talking about other torchbearers running the Journey Of The Youth Olympic Flame (JYOF)


You're half wrong then.


Tell you what, I'M A TORCHBEARER. 


Yep.


You don't believe me?
Oh well just go to http://www.singapore2010.sg/public/sg2010/en/en_youth_olympic_flame/en_singapore_leg_intro/en_route_map_day1.html and check out my name under Day 1 scheduled torchbearers. I'm running between 11.00am and 12.00pm, just at the junction of Marymount Rd (Sin Ming Ave is just before that).


You should be surprised. Yay.


Ok, enough nonsense. Let me share with you the experiences on that special day. 


So it started out on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I was too excited on the previous night so unsurprisingly, I didn't oversleep (which I usually do). After having a hurried breakfast, I made my way to the CHIJ St Nicholas (Toa Payoh), where the start of the journey of the Youth Olympic Torch will begin. That morning's torchbearers were numbered #1000 to #1253. I was actually a bit LATE, due to the drizzle and the fact that I didn't plan my time well. However, I still managed to get there in time (MRT to Toa Payoh, then transfer to bus). Even though I was in the morning schedule, it was still divided into 2. I am #1135, in the later part of the morning leg. It's lucky, I didn't have to wake up even earlier and get drenched in the rain.


So we had this briefing while we tagged on our number tags. They were actually quite cool, I never seen them before. As we waited in the porch of the school for the shuttle bus, we chatted among each other and made some new friends. That was when I found out that the person after me was not here. That means I'm running 200 metres instead of 100! Yay! What a coincidence! I didn't know where we were really heading to, until the friendly helpers told me that we were heading towards MacRitchie Resevoir, where the later half of the morning torch relay started. There was quite a lot of Mediacorp stars around, so I got some of their autographs. They were Shan Wee from 98.7 FM, Daniel Chia from CNA and Zheng Geping from some Channel 8 show. The torch started off at MacRitichie and we went back into our respective buses. There was quite a jam around that area, because the roads inside the resevoir was not big enough for this mega-big celebration. I also got some bottles of free Coke. NICEEEEEEEE!


Slowly, we went along the roads of the scheduled torch relay and started dropping torcbearers off one by one.There was quite a din wherever we passed, as the two Samsung and Coca-Cola buses were playing loud music and the people standing on the top of the buses were shouting stuff that I couldn't hear. Anyway, time flew past and I was also dropped off. The torch was still quite a distance away from the drop-off bus, so I took some photos with my family, before the moment of my life happened. I was given some quick instructions from the support runners, before running my 200 metres. 


Yah I waved at the random crowd which were 'situated; at the pavement and on the overhead bridge. They clapped and cheered, and it was simply wonderful. However, the 200 metres was over in an instant. I passed the torch on to the next torchbearer, #1137. Then the pick-up bus picked me up at my finish spot. We wrote our thoughts and feelings on this special guestbook, hoping that our legacy would be passed on to our future generations. After arriving at Raffles Institution (afternoon launch site), we were handed our badges and certificate. Then it was farewell time. We took some group photos before we left, and promised to keep in touch with Facebook.


That was only in the MORNING.


Evening, I went to Nanyang Polytechnic for the community celebration. When I got there, I realised it was jam-packed with people, there were not enough seats and even not enough standing space. Nevertheless, I found a suitable spot for watching the celebration and took some photos too! Basically, there was a few celebs present at the celebration, including Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. He made a speech before the torchbearer ran into NYP and lighted up the cauldron. Then some mass dance party, some YOG songs being played. This particular ' Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah , Oh Yeah, Hey.....' thing made me feel sick. I've heard this like numerous times over the radio and the crowd were also 'taught' to do the handsigns. Ok, that wasn't very bad. It didn't really end actually, there was two DJs blasting out some random tracks and then the people wearing the Samsung blue shirts were dacing madly. I soon got bored of it and went home. It was about 10pm already.


Yep! A great day happened! I wil remember this glorious day forever, because there won't be a second chance like this ever again.
:)

Alex Kava---Black Friday____Book Review

This book, Black Friday by Alex Kava, depicts a group of teenage suicide bombers striking the heart of America, the Mall of America in Minnesota during Christmas Eve. It has been one year sinve the 9/11 bombing and Robert Asante (A-Santay), the so-called Project Manager #2, has with him a few suicide bombers, who are high-school students. They are Dixon, Chad and Tyler. The relationship among them and their friends are quite confusing, so let me introduce them to you. Rebecca, Dixon and Patrick are old friends, while Chad and Tyler are simply Dixon's friends. They are hired by Asante, an infamous bomber.

As said, when the bombing happened on a busy Friday, many shoppers were caught unattended. Rebecca, especially, was standing about 10 feet away from Chad when the red duffel bag behind him exploded. She was knocked out by the impact straightaway. However, Asante is shocked when he finds out one of the 3 bomb carriers is alive. He then rushes to the mall, only to find out that Rebecca has the duffel bag with her, which hasn't exploded yet (Of course, Asante don't know who Rebecca is). When Asante confronts her, Patrick rushes in time to get Rebecca away from trouble. 

Back in Virginia, FBI profiler Maggie O' Dell is informed of the incident in Minnesota. She was immediately gotten rid of her holiday (not a good thing). She rushes off to the crime scene, only to find chaos ruling over the entire mall. She then joins a group of other professional agents to solve the riddle: Who's the man behind this bombing? As they scan through the security tapes (which were mostly unharmed), they found something disturbing: The red-duffel bags carried by the college students.

As the agents go deeper and deeper beneath to solve the crime, dark secrets are revealed and Maggie O'Dell realises that her brother is also in imminent danger when he is kidnapped by Asante. Coincidentally, her brother is..... Patrick.

Go read this book for yourself. It's just simply awesome! :)

Book Review 1 - Around the World In 80 Days by Jules Verne

Hi, this is me again, and this time I'm doing a book review. I'm feeling sleepy now, but I must finish this today, no matter what.

Around The World In 80 Days
-Jules Verne

Jules Verne is an exceptional writer in the 19th century, he suffered from a lot of troubles during his life of writing books. By 1870, he had already wrote several books, but none of them were a hit. Shortly after that, Jules' father passed away, and his own son, Michael, started to exhibit psychological troubles that landed him up in a mental institution (Or a mental hospital as we call it today). Jules would have given up at this stage, but persevered under the encouragement of the publisher.

However, things did not turn good for him. Germany had invaded France at that time (Jules was a Frenchmen), and it was as though the world collapsed for him. He was sent to defend the Bay Of Somme with twelve other people. He survived the war, but amidst all the fighting, he lost both his family and friends. It was incredible that Jules still managed to complete Around The World In 80 Days. Transportation was modernized, and Jules took advantage of that to list out all the possible forms of transport in the book. It is still widely read today, as it was considered a 'science fiction' book at that time. I believe that this book will continue sailing down the 22th century!


In this book, this peculiar man, Phileas Fogg, makes an seemingly impossible bet with his friends in the Reform Club that he can travel across the world in 80 days. However, with the possibility of delays and obstacles, it could be too much a daunting task for him. Being a quiet and solemn man, many people did not believe that Phileas Fogg can achieve his goal and not lose the 20 thousand pounds that he betted on.
\
With his newly hired servant, Jean Passepartout (A ridiculous name...), they set off towards Paris. A while later, Passepartout realises that he had forgotten to turn off the gas tap, which will burn even though there is no fire. However, things got worse when Phileas Fogg is identified as the robber of twenty thousand pounds in a bank (Which he actually didn't steal). Simultaneously, Dectective Fix is sent to arrest Phileas Fogg.

This was their travel plan:
Travelled by rail to Paris
Took the steamer Mongolia from Suez to Aden in India via Bombay,
Took the Great Indian Penisular Railway; passed Salcette, Tannah, Western Ghauts, Burhampoor, Bundelcund, Allahabad, meeting the Ganges at Benares, Burdivan, passing the French town of Chandernagor and finally reaching Calcutta.
I don't want to spoil the book review, so that you all can enjoy the book YOURSELVES.

I'm happy to say that in the end, Phileas Fogg succeeded extraordinarily, with Detective Fix finding the real crime suspect, while Phileas Fogg and Passepartout actually lost the race by thinkin that they had arrived in London five minutes after nine, however, they made a simple mistake which I initially did not thought of.

Phileas Fogg had,without suspecting it, gained a one-day advantage on his journey, by merely travelling EASTWARD; he would, on the contary, have lost a day had he gone in the opposite direction (WESTWARD). Here's something very hard to explain, I hope you all get it. In journeying eastward he had gone TOWARDS the sun, and the days therefore diminished for him as many times four minutes as he crossed degrees in this direction. There are three hundred and sixty degrees, multiplied by four minutes, gives precisely twenty-four hours-that is, the day unconsciously gained. I other words, while Phileas Fogg, going eastward, saw the sun pass the meridian EIGHTY times, while his friends at Reform Club only saw it pass the meridian SEVENTY-NINE times.

Clever trick, and so Phileas Fogg won the bet of twenty thousand pounds, but he had nearly spent nineteen thousand pounds on the way, so the gain was very little. Truly, would you not for less than that make the tour around the world?

World Cup On The Line

So, South Africa FIFA World Cup 2010 is here, and I''ve been so concentrated on watching the matches than to update my blog.
However, recently, Spain beat my favourited Germany, so I muttered a curse and hope that Holland win the Finals. But, Spain has the upper hand, so I guess Spain will still win. Why? Because they play so well that even I freaked out. Yep.
Next, the 3rd Place Decisive match between Uruguay and Germany. I seriously hope that Germany at least get a 3rd place, so I will not feel that bad.
This year's World Cup was truly retarded, I must say, retarded. RETARDED. Strong teams such as France, Italy, Brazil, Argentina and England got kicked out in the Group Stages, Round Of 16 and Quarter Finals. That's really bad, but I still don't see any reason why they totally crapped up. Maybe they have been too arrogant? Or are they really weak? Tell you what, I initially thought that England's players were excellent, but just because I liked Barclays Premier League, that doesn't mean that they're strong.

Players like Rooney, Kaka, Messi, Higuain, Christiano Ronaldo, and some other good players did not perform well enough. Even Spain's Torres haven't even scored a goal yet. I should say these are really BlooperS. :)

Next is this Octopus Paul. I'm an avid fan of Germany, so I should say I'm gonna KILL HIM. He didn't predicted the match, he totally set the scores! I think you may not know what I mean, but it's abit retarded that he just ate that morsel of food that looked nice. And by doing that, God made Germany to lose to Spain. Is it fair? No! Although I like the Round Of 16 match with England and Quarter-Final with Argentina. I liked that 4-1 and 4-0 streak; they are COOL.

If Germany had battled against Uruguay, it would have been like this. Germany would at least get a 2nd place.               Unfortunately, it didn't happen. That's really a pity.

Lastly, the Goal-line laser technique or some sort of crap that sounded like that. I seriously dont' know what's the name, but I really consider FIFA to introducing one in the next world cup. When you see the ball passing the goal line, you think that it's a goal, but with the referees' no-good-brain and un-tech peeps, it's not counted. You can say that, 'oh, that should be a goal! %&@#$!' Then it drones on and on...... It never stops. The goal will never be counted, and for the next 2 years, FIFA will look at the past 20 years and say,' Oh, sorry dudes, I didn't think of using a camera at that time.' Then I will crap him up. Seriously.

Never mind the people and the decisions made. Everything is very crucial. The tactics, the talents, and the techy stuff. You need vigorous training, new talents every now and then, and equipments that can last till the next century.

However, I can promise all of the readers here one thing, in a country, state or club, THAT will NEVER happen.

I'm Back! Back!

Hi dudes who are visiting my blog NOW,
It has been quite a long time since I last posted on this blog. Why? Because I was in China for the past few weeks (28May to 20June). I initially thought that I could maintain my blog in China, however, I couldn't, the same goes for YouTube. It's a bit WEIRD, I succeeded last time, you know. So my blog was left dangling there for a few weeks with no one to care. Now that I'm back, I'm UBER-HAPPY.

While I in China for the longest time yet, there are a LOT of things I want to share with you, my fellow avid readers of my blog.
I was in Xiamen, a coastal city in Fujian Province, southeastern China. There are some peculiar things you would want to know. There's a lot of taxi companies in Xiamen. Companies like 海峡，坤驰，联亿，康福，and a few others. Unlike Singapore, Xiamen's taxis are not so well-kept, however, the fares are REALLY CHEAP. The first 2km is 8 RMB, equivalent to $1.50 here. Every extra km is $0.40. The bus fares are also as cheap. The maximum for a trip is $1, while it can go as low as $0.20. Woots.

The roads here are also not that well maintained. There are holes around the main roads and the traffic lights are almost useless! There are no proper right turn for cars, so it gets very dangerous when cars go around the corners. The traffic lights also go berserk sometimes. How do you expect someone to walk across a 20m stretch of road within 12 seconds?! So, we had to run. Yep. Run.

Things here are considered cheap. And there's feel good things around. Although you know that the numbers in the price tags are greater, the currency rate is about $1 = 5 RMB. In other words, you can compare the prices in Singapore easily. Sad to say, MacDonald's and KFC in Xiamen have the same prices as Singapore.

This time, I went to China for a 2 weeks or so. Then, my parents and I made our way to Changsha Province （长沙）. It is located in Hunan （湖南), south-central China. From there, we took a long distance bus trip to Feng Huang (凤凰) county in Hunan. It took about 5 hours and itwas DEAD boring. After spending 2 to 3 days in Feng Huang, we took another bus trip to Zhang Jia Jie (张家界). The scenery there was so beautiful!I think I better introduce it next time!

Analysis of Poem- The Son is in Secondary School by Affian Sa’at

This poem describes how the author enjoys his school days. Most of the events are cleverly quoted out in the poem, and it is quite faultless. "My best friend did a heroic thing once Shaded all A’s For his Chinese Language Multiple-choice paper" is one of the many things some students do during  the examinations. Although these may sound foolish, it is very useful when recalling past memories of the old school days. I think that this poem is perfect- for the young and old.


The days in my Primary School was quite the same as 'The Son is in Secondary School'. I share the same sentiments and the old days just seem great. Classmates are sometimes annoying but also helpful and friendly. The class is filled with laughter every interval during periods. We played tag even in the class and hoped that recess was much longer that usual. 




Primary School
-Zhou Zhefang


The days just seemed awesome
When I was in Primary School
Got a huge bunch of friends
But they are erm...useless


When Assembly started
Most of the pupils were in disarray
Lines crooked and a lot of latecomers
Much to the principal's dismay


Classes are as usual
But when there's abrupt laughter
Our angry teacher would shout
Quiet! or I'll call your mother!


When the recess bell rings
Our class would start to fidget
And when the teacher releases us
The last one out will be called a midget


The end of recess is near
But who gives a ear?
All we know is to play, play and play
But we all run when the Discipline Master is here


The school bell is more amazing
80% of the class will start to pack their bags
When the teacher gives the signal
Our class would be like an empty sack.


CCAs are just a waste of time
It's like doing CWO
When you look at other CCA groups
You realise they look like CEO


When you reach home
You thought you can slack
But when you realise that there's tons of homework
You will say, "What the heck!"


Schools days are just awesome
No freedom, no justice, no peace
What am I doing here anyway?
Oh, talk about bliss.


Oh and I forgot one thing
Who cares about this?!

2ND post for TERM 2

Hi! I'm back pretty fast, because I have to finish 5 blog posts by Term 2. (Not an easy task) Let me see, I got quite a lot of crap to voice out, but I'm afraid I'll get screwed.

Anyway, THE SABBATICALS FINALLY STARTED!!! OMG! I'm in the 'F1 In Schools workshop' anyway, it costs 100 bucks, and it was not good enough on the first day.
Today was the very 1st day, around 50 of us were gathered in the Lecture Theatre near the Science Research Centre. We were introduced to F1, and some theories that apply to the aerodynamics of a typical F1 car. We also checked out the different components of the F1 car, the evolution of F1, the importance of technology and etc. Lectures covered about 85%, so it was quite boring when we came to introducing the forces and resistance. I almost fell asleep. Hands-on session was to draw the chassis of the F1 car on a piece of isometric paper, and it was seriously tough. however boring was today, tomorrow we'll be designing the car!!! Yeah! That's the COOL part.

Hmm, I and James have finally finished Chinese ACE, and we were kept in the Staff Room to laminate and cut out the pieces of paper required for ACE. It was back-breaking work, as we were kept in there for about 45 mins. James cursed as we walked out of the staff room. Nice one, though. Sabbaticals are quite cool, you get extended reccesses, Air-conned rooms and learn things that aren't taught in classrooms. but I'm starting to regret this a bit. 100 bucks is a lot of money! Compared to other programmes with either 0 or lower costs, mine is EXPENSIVE.

Have homework left though. Infocomm Studies: Flash Interactive Website Project. I seriously need to spend time on that. *Flip Flip. Oh, and the sabbaticals.... hmm....yep. That's all.

Just to let everybody know, I'm leaving Singapore on the 28th of May. The day for the Chinese Common Test. I could have left on the 27th, but the test is compulsory, so....too bad. Keep in contact in China!:)

I'm seriously speechless now. Seriously.

Hope I have somtething to say the next time I see you. :D

1st Blog Post for the very __th time

Hi all! Erm, this is my __________th blogging, but actually I haven't been blogging for very long....... so I'M GLAD TO BE BACK! WOOHOO!

So, life is still the same and insane. I just got news that our class is the most un-unified class in the Ortus Consortium. However, I like it! Especially when the class is noisy. (Doesn't make sense) Anyway, we got a NEW book, called 'Village By The Sea' by Anita Desai. She is quite an excellent qriter, because that book simply ROCKS. It's quite touching though, as it depicts a poor Indian family living in Thul (some part of India). They live in extreme poverty and can't even have a proper meal. I won't talk about the book much further, you can read the book anywhere too! English: Chracter Analysis. That's the skill required for the next test in Term 2 Week 10. Still have a long way to go. Math test results going to come out, and I predict that I'm gonna get a 3 or lower for my MSG. OMG. I think I must work hard.

The other test results have shown, and I did REALLY badly. I totally mean it. Luckily, today is the last day of the week, and moreover, Sabbaticals are on next week and I got posted into 'F1 in School' or something like that. It costs $100, and I'm going broke. I didn't sign up for that whole-heartedly anyway, I was given 10 choices. This was not one of my top choices, but I have no choice now. TOO BAD. :(After the Sabbatical week is Home-learning  and Parent-Teacher meeting. We have to stay at home to complete assignments online while our parents have to go to school to meet the teachers. I'm sure that my teachers have a LOT to say about me. I'm DEAD SURE. Oh man...

While I'm writing this blog post, I just realised that Hwa Chong's SMB is loading for the past 30 mins. Why is the server lagging? Maybe HCI should improve on that particular part. I kinda like HCI nowadays, because people here are always helpful, even if you approach a Sec-3 that you have never seen before for help, he will still help you. That's the good thing. However, there are bulllies around this school. I don't feel like elaborating on that subject too.

Hmm, I think I'm done with this blog post. I have to complete 5 blog posts before that end of Term 2. So I guess I better hurry. I still have other projects and homework, so it's like caryying a ton of them. I'M SO STRESSED. ._.

Buh-Byes. Cya.

LA Home Learning - Learning Styles - MUSICAL

Um, hi, its early in the morning and I'm up, researching on my learning style - MUSICAL.

I have to choose a piece of ambient music that best suits the introduction of LTTS (Lamb To The Slaughter).

Here I am, sharing with you this piece of music that I've chosen.

SEA OF TRANQUILITY by John Stanford.

A very nice piece of ambient music indeed.

SEA OF TRANQUILITY

Click on that link above.

Anyway, here are my reasons:

This piece of music starts off with a soothing introduction, just like LTTS.
Then, percussion starts to roll in, and the scene sets in.
Mr Maloney comes home, looks tired......
Then the music escalates, showing the conversation Mrs Maloney is having with Mr Maloney.....
The whole epic introduction ends slowly along with the music,
(Wait, the music is quite long, so I recommend you to stop at 4.40)

Actually, I think that the whole 7.35 mins is suitable for the entire LTTS.

Sea Of Tranquility Rocks! As I'm listening to it, the music slowly fades away...
And my LA home learning blog post ends here......
Along with the memories.....


P.S.  FAR CENTAURUS was also one of my few choices.
Here's the link to John Stanford's music:

Hi theres

Hi, I'm back again for more. For those who don't really know what I am writing, please ignore. Ok, I'm getting serious about schoolwork. But then, there is so much homework and revision that I don't no which one to start first.

Firstly, I've changed my blogskin, for bigger fonts and blahs.

Then, this weekend, I've got a huge load of homework. especially revision, Chinese, IH, and other blahs.

HAHA, I love the word 'blahs'. It's not a vulgarity, so please keep that in mind.

I'll be back for some English blogging, right after this post, and maybe do some research, because there's IS Project, Music Project and loads more.

-.-'

LA Blog post about LTTS

LTTS.

Ok, I'm quite late for this blog post, as I was talking nonsense back in those older blog posts.

In LTTS (Lamb To The Slaughter), Mary Maloney is a peculiar lady whose characteristics are very complicated. She is someone that has a tolerance towards unfriendly husbands. Also, she is smart enough to form an alibi of the crime, so that she would not be easily deduced as the murderer. One of the unexpected results was the police eating the leg of the lamb, which was the murder weapon, under their very own noses. Mary Maloney then giggles, as she knew that there was little or no evidence left to show that she was the murderer. A good story indeed.

:D

Chinese debate

Another week has ended, and I'm blogging once again.

There was this Chinese debate on 山寨文化 last Friday, and I was the freaekin' judge sitting there allocating marks to debators. Its like 4 people supporting, and another 4 trying to make fun of what they have juz said. Juz kidding. but seriously, the ‘山寨’people won with 96 points over ‘正版’ones, 93.5 points. At the end of this freakin' debate, I found out that the whole class was supporing '山寨'. CRAP. That includes me.

Then there's this tonnes of afnebvkfjregqafhalsdfha homework that I can't understand.

SECOND POST ( Not so good )

Ok, back to school, and I'm still not recognising this place.

I have totally NO idea why.

Yeah, I'm like the newbie around and I'm almost freaking out.

Luckily, I could AT LEAST recognise where my classroom is, where's the toilet, where's the canteen and most importantly, the entrance and exit.

It's like I'm taking the same gate for the entrance and exit, but on the first day of REAL school I was LOST (not like when you say 'Get Lost' though).

This happened right after school, when I was walking out of the classroom and heading for the Admin Centre, but I wanted to go to the canteen anyway. FYI, my class is 1O3, so those two places are totally the opposites. As such, i went around the Admin Centre (Not knowing that I was on the wrong track) and then came back to the exact place where I've been three minutes ago. After what seemed like eternity, Ifinally SMSed my friend. With a censored word in the SMS, I asked him where is the canteen. He didn't reply and then I went MAD. I runmaged through my bag and found a map extracted during the Registration day in HCI. Sorry but I went furher off track and into Block C, where the canteen was like half a kilometre away (maybe not that much). Desperate, I called my friend to meet him at the Kah Kee Hall (which I knew). He was like 'Oh hi, don't you know where's the canteen' in an extremely sarcastic manner. Gah, forget it. Just bring me to that canteen.

To make long stories short, he did.

And I finally knew where's the toilet AFTER that incident.

All about me

This is zhoufng 'blogging' at this very moment. My name is Zhefang, not 'zhoufng'. 'Zhoufng' is my web nickname, while 'Zf' is what my friends usually call me. However, there are some nicknames I don't really like. For example, some call me 'porridge', because my surname is 'Zhou', which in Chinese means 'porridge'. I just dun like that. Another nickname I don't like is 'Chee Cheong Fun'. I think you all should already know why. So I don't need to explain.

There's some things that my friends find 'special' about me, sometimes not in the optimistic way. I love cracking silly and stupid jokes, almost all of them makes no sense at all. And when I do that in class, you will know what would happen. Get a scolding, of course. Next, is a very alarming diesease that you may not want to know. But I'm still telling you anyway (Duh!). I don't know if it's real, but my primary school teacher thinks I've got a disorder called Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or AD/HD). The first time in my whole life, I was staring at the teacher, then at myself, disbelieving what the teacher had said. But don't worry, it's not contagious, nor causing a disability in myself. LOL.

Lastly, I'm a crazy guy, like someone with a botak head, running around with a crazy accent (Did it for no reason) and cracking funny jokes. Oh yes, I've got many different moods. Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes being a lunatic and at other times, being totally QUIET.

I'm a newbie in Hwa Chong, so I'm still losing my way in HCI......
