Oh My Gosh. Math CCT is Tmr and I have totally no idea on the concepts of Geom Proofs.
Its is srsly very screwed up, wht the hell do they want us to identify similar shapes and compare the relation between 2 stupid lines. Mid Pt thereom, intersect thrm...Huh?
Anyway, somehow now the sec 4s are over to the other side. Feeling in cross has been different, solely because now we are in charge. Nataniels is like on a poning streak (cos of national science challenge), so it's just cheng lu and me. Well, lucky cheng lu is here, he has a flair for administrative things. If not for him, our re report would have nvr been started. Right, he's also a total authoritarian, when he wants, he demands, with a fierce voice. Very commanding. Which is good of course. Because he gets things done quickly, but ppl kan ta "bu shuang".
Right and i have a bio test on thursday and chem oba on....when? I haven't touched both anyway, so i know im pretty screwed.

Dad brought sis and I to suntec to have a look at america's top universities exhibitions. Well, it was a god idea cos my sis only has 1 more year before she starts a college education. She's really keen to go US i think. Anw we saw some of the really pretigious unis like Harvard, Princeton, USC, Boston, King's College. Very Broad range to select from. She zeroed down on hers, I just randomly walked around exploring the booths. Almost all of them offer medicne.
The American's system and British ones are different. To study medicine in america, i need at least 9 years. With specialisation course I think =P. Wheareas for S'pore, I need at least 6 years. But dad said that to ultimately i need to give up at least 10 years to complete my uni-studies. But hopefully i can go overseas, then i will be more exposed to different stuff.
So I will decide when the time comes. hahaha

Ok I'm gonna sleep soon.

One of Life's Really Tough Decision
Ok. It's a really really tough decision to make. Today the sec 4s finally crossed over to RJC for training, which is really sad cos we won't see them for trg anymore =(. It also means that we are the most senior now, and we will carry the responsiblity of the team.
But it also got me thinking, real hard about one thing. Should I continue in JC or not?
One side says that well, to put it in honest terms, since i'm reasonably good at running i should continue. I shouldn't make all of this 4 years of traininggo to waste. Furthermore, everyone has high expectations of me and I can't disappoint them.
On the other side, I have the feeling like "I'm bored of running" and I dun think I will be interested to run next time. I wanna try something new, like learn a new sport and excel in it.
But today, I decided not to let go of this issue, I gonna make a wise choice.
Its more of a Passion vs Talent thing. But thinking deeper into this maze, I realised that the passion is there but something is hindering it from igniting. I think it's because I'm afraid. Fear. I afraid of doing long runs, intervals, But i like easy runs =).
Because I feel that i am pressured to win in all my competitions, and i'm also quite alone. Think of it, unless cheng lu really improves like crazy, I feel as if I have to be the saviour of the team's position. And if i fail, then omg. No back-up. And during the intervals, there won't be someone to pace and no one to follow during long runs. But yet pressure is important to push people further. What a stupid contradiction.
Running is fun, but it ain't fun without a partner to strive together.
Therefore, I consulted my father. Like everyone else, he encouraged me to continue. But he stated that the schools needs a representative to participate in competitions, and if I don't do it no one else would.
"Everyone loses interest in a sport somehow, it's a very normal thing, but it's the perseverance thats keeps us going" - said by Dad. Well, it did change my mindset in someway.
Right, I also think im thinking far to negatively about cross country. Its like now I just think X-C is like
Long Runs = Damn Sian and have to wake up damn early in the morning,
Intervals = Makes me die.
But there again, if so many people in RJ can continue and yet enjoy it, I dun think that there is a reason why I can't. Maybe it's not that bad, it's just the competitions that makes you wanna shiver. But all sports face strong competition, there's no way to hide from it.
Oh yah, I guess if i just stop at Secondary school is like Ban Tu Er Fei. if I give up cross, it will be damn sad. Because I already gave up Teakwondo, Wushu and im like damn lazy to even go for my Wushu trainings nowadays (I have't gone for 5 months =P). So if I stop its like, all my acheivements is cut short in Sec Sch.
I am gonna make sure I guaduated from JC feeling satisfied, that I completed a long hard race. I started this race, i've gotta finish it.
So am I gonna quit or not?
Well, Let's just say I will keep my options open, I dun wanna decide to early, although I know that the arguements is like obviously tipping on the "go for it"side. But for now I will just concentrate on B div nats. But I'm be inclining towards continuing though.
BUT I WANT TO HAVE A PARTNER TO RUN WITH IN JC. Someone who is like same or better than me so I can work with him and he can work with me. Mutual thing. Then we can improve together, yeah you know that kind of logic.
I'll decide next year, just setting my boundaries out right. When I come to the bridge, then I will cross it. So dun get ur hopes to high.

Oh right. Lets find a quote that fits this:
" You can't go through life quitting everything. If you're going to achieve anything, you've got to stick with something." ~From the television show Family Matters

Half Blood Prince
I watched this movie 2 times on 2 consective days. Wad the hell?
Anw back to the movie. Overall I think it's quite good. But there was less action and more of the emotional stuff.
Yeah hermione is really pretty. Especially when she cried because ron was snogging the disgusting lavender, that was quite cute. Ron has no taste, blur sotong
Ginny is quite pretty also lah, quite hot. Tall, slim and got nice face, I dunno why people thinks she's ugly. No eyes, she fits in well with harry. She's taller than harry btw.
Everyone seems to have matured so much already, comparing to the first time they acted in the philosopher stone. Draco looks so adult-ish, with the angular face and everything. Harry looks just about the same.
But one thing for sure,
DUMBLEDORE WAS DAMN COOL. Srsly especially when he was spinnning this huge tornado of fire in the air, killing all the inferi. You can't do anything but watch him being pro. Really wise too, like a father to harry. But he died in the end, which was really sad but it was necessary (the last book explains everything).
