WE ADORE MATHS

I'm blogging here as well! :D :D

We're now living in the last few hours before our little drained, exhausted & tired student lives would be (semi-)liberated! :D :D

And oh, maths competitions? I've sworn off them since I participated in a NSW one in Pri 3 and couldn't do 9(200)8% of the very very interesting questions. I just died there in my seat for the entire hour - which felt like a century, really. Was ultra :D when it was over. & as expected, I got a (fabulous) Certificate of Participation.

Tragic, really (;

At least you guys tried, eh? ;D



(p/s: this post is this blog's 60th!)

HIYA PEOPLE.

I am like blogging for three continuous days on this blog!! yay. And for those who are extremely slow.....there's one more day left!!! Let's give our all for the last two papers tomorrow!!! BIO AND CHEM xD

Oh, and I realised that anghui have already shared with you guys how the erhem*, maths competition went. And by the way, interesting and humourous post you have there, anghui xD Okay, i bet the two of us are feeling rather blurred and hysterical due to excessive loss of brain cells and brain juices.

Hmm. i guess 2008 of my brain cells have burst due to the excessive diffusion of information into it. [heh, bio and chem!]

And i shall dream about the number 2-0-0-8 tonight.

Physics today was pretty manageable, and i shall not dwell into it =)
Ah. okay. shall end off here.

Huiting and I had just emerged out of a battlefield, with half of our brains fried, with eyes that are tired of rolling at the enemies, flabbergasted, and the enemies are....

The Questions in the Math Competition.

I mean like, WHAT KIND OF QS IS THAT??? Or those,f or that matter. Are Australians like, maths whizs or smtg??!! So many of the questions are so so so difficult! AND GUESS WHAT.

NO calculators allowed.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH. ALL the numbers are like, SO BIg. And apparently they love the number 2008, so the number 2008 was used frequently by them in the questions. AND there's ALOT of square roots/perfect squares qs with really huge number so you have to constantly work out smtg like 69 X 69 or 44 x 44. -.- SOMEMORE. They purposely give the questions in such a way that there is NO WAY for you to work backwards. It's MCQ, and most of the time we use the options given to work backwards right???? But they'll make it such a way that it is near IMPOSSIBLE to do so. Just look at one:

A number is less than 2008. It is odd, it leaves a remainder of 2 when divided by 3 and a remainder of 4 when divided by 5. What is the SUM of the digits of the LARGEST such number?
a) 26 b) 25 c) 24 d) 23 e) 22

Another one:

25 different positive integers add to 2008. What is the largest value that the least of them can have?
a) 65 b) 66 c) 67 d) 68 e) 69

AHHHHHHH. Look at the second qs. What is LARGEST value the LEAST of them can have????!!!! How come largest and least exist together? I totally so DUN understand the qs la. And FYI, I dunnoe how to do both.

HMPH..... Oh well. Imjust gonna avoid this thing forever. Which I should have done in the first place. Waste my brain cells................................................


AND OH Look at this!
Hidden Van Gogh revealed in color by scientists
It's saying how the pro scientists in today's advanced society managed to uncover the art works beneath the paintings! As in, apparently Mr. Van Gogh reused his canvas many times, so there's like, layers and layers of art work below the final product. So in one canvas there could be like 3 art works, except the below two are being covered over.

Cool right???? Im kind of awed at today's technology! The scientists used this virtual 3 D image of the painting and literally peel of the layers one by one. Isnt it amazing?

Ahh. This post is kind of lame.... =D

HANG IN THERE PEOPLE!!! ONLY 2 MORE DAYS!


yep. I know you guys will miss me, so i am back! Don't get over-excited now, haha.

OH. Today was hmt paper. The extremely wonderful, much-anticipated, interesting, exciting paper. Sense my sarcasm =) Oh. Several literature students commented that it was like a literature paper, and when i say literature students, i mean chinese lit and english lit. =O Alright. What can you figure out about my personality from my post?[that's the type of question they asked, don't roll your eyes at moi=.=]

darn. The heavy drilling going on at my block is horrible. ROARS.

And before i forget.....

(Gee this is so lousy. THAT"S the biggest it can go?? It should like, fill up 3 entire lines or smtg...)

Joleen (left), Gracie (right)

But yes, the childish-est nature girl in our family is 16. Now we're equally old/young, as Valerie would say. You know this day dun come all the time (actually, once in a lifetime...) SO SO SO, you MUST MUST MUST enjoy today!! Despite it being in the mid of prelims, we celebrate after ok!!!!!!!!!

TADAH!!!

Shocked? Stunned?

I am here to grace this wonderful blog with my post. Muahaha. And LOOKIE>< I blogged here instead of my own blog!! -bow and waves hand in a dignified manner-

Anyway...THREE MORE DAYS TO LIBERATION! woah. I am starting to slacken already. ooops. Hilarious things happened this morning. Instead of discussing serious matters like violent composite volcanoes and how they can cause so much destruction [no, not by attacking people literally], Eliz [ahem] and i were having a rather serious discussion about National Day songs and showing our patriotism by singing them while attempting to cram in last minute revision. And i can safely say that even the most brillant mutlitask-ers will find this a rather difficult feat. hmm
-eyes closed, nods head in a knowing manner-

Oh yep. Tomorrow's a realleh special day for SOMEONE. heh. Guess who?? okay. hint hint ;P

she's the owner of a cute little dog-aye [sounds weird],
always innocent [although sometimes i suspect it's all an act. heh. shhhhhh.]
an EXTREMELY inactive member of this, ahem, family blog
a fan of the colour of the sky
the owner of a sexy jacket
and lastly, a member of the Pancake Family!! [duh]

any idea?? gosh. Let me help your poor brains that are saturated with science. JOLLIBEAN PANCAKE!!!






Still don't get it? Gosh..






IT"S JOLEEN's BDAY TOMORROW!

Okay. Let me wish her a happy 16th birthday here in advance! HAPPAYE BIRTHDAY JOLLIBEAN!! May you start tying braids with us and join in our STYLE YOUR HAIR DAY [though i have a weird feeling it sort of died down=( ] !!


okay. Got to go! aw.....don't be sad. I will be back xD

-HT-

OH OH OH. Btw, i got this picture:

There's SEVEN hearts in it. Find them all!~

AHHHHH.
Had a wonderful birthday yesterday! =D
A BIG, HUMONGOUS FAT THANK YOU to everybody!!!

For the gifts, the well-wishes, the hug (from eliz), the smiles, and actually anybody la. And I mustn't forget to thank the Decide-what-papers-to-be-on-what-day teacher(s) who kindly made yesterday papers not so heavy and writing-ish.

Shall not list out ppl, but really, thanks for all being there!! Despite Prelims' uglily(maybe, probably should be an unexisting word) shoving itself in. =DDDDDDDD

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

The Wait-at-the-gate was such a surprise!!! My dad was like, 'eh isnt that your friends??? how come they are here?'
me: I think they're waiting for me?
dad: huh? why they waiting for you? 0.0
me: uh... today is my birthday
dad: OH YA> WA SO GOOD AH!!!!!

ahhhh. I LOVE my FRIENDS!!!!!!! They are the bestest, nicest, cutest, craziest, laughable-est people EVER. They've made my day as good as it ever can get. YAY!!!!!!!!!!

OH YEAH PPL. PRELIMS ARE DOWN BY MORE THAN HALF!!! It isnt really like half, since most of us next week have like only 1 papers on one day/ or no need to come to sch at all. So it's actually more than half. =D LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE. At least we can go out and play!!!! Not too long cos of O's but we DO DESERVE a bit of rest after the prelims right???? People who agree continue breathing and say YES!
(which in other words, im saying if you DUN agree you can go and die cos you cant breathe till you agree.)
(Joking la.)

OK!!!!!! ALL THE BESTEST FOR PRELIMS AND O'S EVERYBAH-DAY!!!!!!!

(I like the word 'bestest' leh. It's sounds so cute and like, really more than best like that. ;D)

美丽如花的黄安慧 - 生日快乐！：D

THE PRELIMS HAVE
DESCENDED UPON US!

(run for your lives or something.)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Stupid blogger mess up my post with the pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now have to retype.

Hottest topic: PRELIMS. Good luck for it ok!!!!!!!!!! JUst try your best, dun worry and tear the books after the O's!!!!!!!!!

AHHA. My mum said Im my hamsters' mummy, and she's the grandma. =) I have THREE lovely children!! After one ran away that is. WANT SEE?????????????????

You have no choice. ;)

"Im FAT"

This one of the super fast runners!! It has a really huge butt. =D

"Im in jail."My FAV!!!!!!!! Used to be fat but now old and sick. =(

Tribute to the one who ran away. REst in peace/ Live in Peace. (cos i dunnoe if it's dead or alive)

=)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Study hard everybody!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!! Today ALL the Pancakes went down for recess!!!!!!!!! Not pointing out in particular la, but really happy! Seems so united kind of thing. =) Gracie dun be offended!!

Anyway, maths lesson transformed into a photo taking session, cos mr lee didnt come. Anyway, I selected a few that well, arent blurred or have ultra UGLY things inside. (like deformed faces, scary eyes, pimples and exxagerated grins)

No idea why Huiting is giving that face!!

Huiting looks fat. The rest llooks normal!! YAY!

Valerie looks crazy!!!!!!!

Jingya and Thanh!!!!!!!!! The two scholars who sits behind me and Valerie. They're really crazy i tell you. ;)I looked so dao. but Valerie and Gracie look nice.

HAHAHAHA. Jingya was supposed to create the 'suddenly come in and destroy the pic' thing. but she looks carnivorous!!!!!!!

Diggressing....(oh no is it double or single G???!!!)

Was this taken last year?? During my chalet thing!!!!! Note Eliz's fantasic legs!!! (All of us seemed so YOUNG. But it's only a short while ago.)

Cross Country at Bishan

Muddy, sweaty, fun, funny, crazy. The words I would use to describe today's cross country. (Eh I always thought cross country is like, across the country? Like super long distances of 20 km?)

The fields were horribly muddy!! All of us have these teeny mud specks on our legs, which makes us look like we came down with some weird disease. DISGUSTING!!!!!!!

And I really am in awe of the competitors. I barely survived at at Fun Run, so can you imagine how they ran through 3.4??!!! Somemore I had no idea how the route was gonna be like, so as I run I kept saying 'ok it's ending..is it is it is it?? AHHHHHHHHHH Still got so long in front!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'. I always thought we're ending, then I'll like, go up this higher part on the track and realise there's at least 200m more. -.-

Anyway, 401 planned to run as a class. Note: planned. Didnt really work out I think.. Cos at first we kept together cos the line of people were STROLLING, then slowly began to disperse. Like some ran in front, and me and Joleen just slowed down. TIRED. At first could still see all the 401 people but after a while Im only with Joleen, which I stuck with throughout the entire 2km. Passed by people like Christabel, Kailing Meijun (I think) and heard them cheering for the rest. (did they?? Cant really rmb. I was trying hard to keep my breath steady.) I nearly follow Jingya into the Cuda lane!!!!! And Meijun like, went into Scorpion lane i think. Haha. Ah well. At least we ran. Right Joleen?? I was dragging her along. She probably hates me now. =)

Lek and Val. both of them are fighting for Lek's bag!!! Tsk tsk. CHILDISH!!!!!!!!!!

Xinyu running to the finishing line!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and Val was screaming like ' Behind you got bicycle!!!'

Jet's arriving at the finishing line toooo!

Zhaozhi at the more first part of the race. GO GO GO!!!!

GO HUITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I should really think of better lines...)

That first one in the yellow shirt is Limin! I took the shot too early, so she's a bit small in it.

Xinyu and Val after Xinyu's race. Tsk tsk. Acting cute at such an OLD age???!!!

Ah. Finally a sane and normal one. ;)

I was supposed to take the extremely muddy and according to valerie, incredbly disgusting stae of our mud-stained shoes. But ah well. Yours truly am NOT a professional photographer!!! So our shoes look CLEAN. but they're actually really dirty!!

Well done to everybody who ran!!!!!!!!

Valerie and Huiting are currently still at YMCA at the PESA thing. (I left early.)

It was an ok experience. We were LATE. We went in, and had to stand awkwardly well the then speaker talk, and then grab seats when he finished. Those speakers are really good. It amazes me how they can actually memorise their super long speeches, and not trip, not stumble, not stare off and forget their lines, do cool hand signs and use body language and basically talk like they've done that since they were 3 hrs old.

Btw there's this obvious boy girl ratio difference. I mean, there's like less than 5 girls???!!! And they were talking about some...gender discrimination/stereotypes thing.

AND.... Here's the literally yummy part!

Three of us decided to go off after chee kit finished the first part, and come back when he's about to start his impromptu speech. But I decided to go off halfway. ANYWAY. Let the pictures tell the story!!!!

Yes we had waffles!!!!!!!!!! At this Waffle Place thing at SMU.

This is Valerie's waffle, some Raspberry flavoured one.

Huiting's Triple Chocolate.

My Almond Nut with Brownie.

Ht and her half eaten waffle.Val and hers.

On the bus.

Ok THAAAAAAAAT's IT!

Happy Youth Off-day today!!!!

I was reading this book, and in it it has this interesting page about plants.

How seeds get planted: Some plants spit their seeds into the wind. Others make seeds yummy enough for birds to eat, so they get pooped out on passing cars. Plants make way more seeds than they need, because they know that life is not perfect and all the seeds won't make it. Kind of smart, when you think about it.People used to do that too, - have 12 to 15 kids because they figured some would die, some would turn out rotten, and a couple would be hardworking, honest, farmers. Who knew how to plant seeds.

What seeds need to germinate: Seeds are inefficient. If the seed is planted too deep, it doesn't warm up at the right time. Plant it too close to the surface and a crow eats it. Too much rain and the seeds mould. Not enough rain and it never gets started. Even if it doesnt manage to sprout, it can be choked by weeds, rooted up by a dog, mashed by a soccer ball, or asphyxiated by car exhaust.

(It's amazing anything survives.)

Lol funny huh???
