>>>The next post after this is new too, fyi.
Ok so its been some time since i last actually posted here. So there are quite a few stuff, but time constrains will limit my post tonight.Most importantly, i got a certificate of participation a few days ago... but not an ordinary one, this one was and is special.

Neat hor! i calculated it and the timing is actually absurd. take 10000m divide by 3570 and you get... 2.8ms-1. (H2 Physics student must think differently... heheh). Seriously... i look at that figure and wonder how to cover 2.8 meters in one second.
On another note, today was my Pre-U seminar interview and i must say i think it will go well. I submitted my works, which actually included the Third Degree commemorative video. Crazy right... but i thought might as well show them my most recent piece of work... I hope they left impressed.
I went in the room with five other people, one boy and the rest girls. They asked things like:What is your opinion on the rising food and daily necessity prices in Singapore? AndLee Kuan Yew recently commented that in his lifetime, he does not think he will live to ee Singapore become a courteous society. Comment,And then for the latter, the other guy responded with something about being courteous in 50-60 years time. People are seriously optimistic about the old man's health. heheh...Wha late liao.
One more thing. what thing. lets see...Oh yes i didn't finish that time... I got into the school team for tennis, but the coach and every other interview i go for asks for my commitment level to be in MJC. If i say no, like for tennis, they would have stuck me off the team and just put me in rec. So i HAD to tell them i was willing to stay...
Really, MJC is quite swell, the only thing that irritates me is the commute time. All other things actually look qiute bright, really, the environment is great, the friends are nice, and the classmates are much better than ones i had in my last year at Damai.Assuming the results come out next friday, i have one more compulsory week at MJC. Then i go back to nostalgia mode as i step into the sad case story that is Damai.
Ms Sharifah got me a tutor. Some A level girl waiting her results... Her name is Sophie and she lives nearby... for some reason she told me she takes Wushu and Dancing... I don't know if it matters. She plans to go to Uni once June sets in. that means she can;t be a permanent tutor. What a waste of time.That seriously goes to Joel... all the girls your age will leave while you slog off the grand army. heheh. sadded
