2008年10月30日木曜日Did a personality test as seen from Justina's blog. I don't know, but some parts seems to tally with the happenings around me recently. Name: Lee Rui Kang Date: 10/29/2008 Colorgenics Number: 01765324 At this time you are really feeling quite exhausted by all the conflict and quarrelling that is going on about you and you are looking for some sort of protection from this state of affairs. Ideally you are seeking a peaceful condition and a tranquil environment in which you can be afforded the chance to relax and recover. You haven't been feeling that great lately. Both physically and mentally you are exhausted. To your best friends, those who know you and love you, it shows. Your self esteem has been reduced almost to a minimum and in order to recover - and recover you will - it is necessary that you get away from it all, even if it be only for a few days. It is hard for you to accept that your needs and desires are misunderstood by almost everyone within your sphere of influence and there is no one to rely on. Your pent-up emotions and inherent egocentricity make you quick to take offence, but as matters stand you realise that you'll have to make the best of things as they are. You are experiencing more than your fair share of stress following an acute disappointment. This may be the result of subconscious conflict between hope and necessity. The tension that you are experiencing following your unfulfilled hopes have given rise to anxious uncertainty. You have no doubt that things could get better in the future and so you refuse to make the necessary essential decisions. This conflict between hope and necessity is creating considerable pressure. Instead of resolving this by facing up to making the essential decisions, you are likely to vacillate and concern yourself with trivialities of little consequence. You are moody and depressed at this time but it will pass. All of your hopes and dreams seem to have gone astray and you are fearful of planning further for the future. Disappointment at the non fulfilment of your hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety and you try to escape from this by withdrawing into yourself. But that is not the answer. You have the power to succeed, believe in yourself... all is possible to him who believes. ************************* Quoted: "following an acute disappointment." Does that mean that I won't be getting my H1 changed? Quoted: "but as matters stand you realise that you'll have to make the best of things as they are." True. If I did not manage to get H1 physics, I will have to make do with my e.lit. Quoted:"You have no doubt that things could get better in the future." Yes, if I can get my H1 changed, I will no doubts about it. Quoted:" All of your hopes and dreams seem to have gone astray and you are fearful of planning further for the future. Disappointment at the non fulfilment of your hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety and you try to escape from this by withdrawing into yourself." No, I won't let this happen to me. No matter what happens, I shall face it. But its rather creepy though, this test. It seems so freaking accurate! But I really hope that the part about "following an acute disappointment" won't happen. Anyone can try this at http://goldinuniverse.com/ Posted by Rui Kang 9:46 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2008年10月25日土曜日 Lol. Jie kai took this with his new 1000D. He brought it to sch this few days, So I volunteered to be his guinea pig. =) My eyes look a bit cocked, but there's nth I can do about it since I have high degree of myopia for both eyes. And is it the perspective playing tricks on my eyes, or is my arm really thicker? Lol. Almost 3 months of gyming did paid off a little bit, at least. ************************ Mr tan told me a few days ago that my chances of getting my h1 changed is rather slim, since 1 year had alr passed. It would be quite difficult to catch up 1 year of work in 2 months. But why not? Difficult does not equate to impossible what. If I use this hols effectively, the time used for studying physics will be more than what i used for my other subjects combined. But nvrm, whatever the results are, I will have to face it. ***************************  Went to Donut factory @ Novena Square. (or is it Velocity? Can't rmb.) Since there are 4 of us, we bought 1 box of 12 to share. So each person 3. And I chose 1 apple cinnamon, 1 chocolate cherry and 1 glazed blueberry. I got rather sick of eating after the 2nd one. All so sweet la. Valent was saying that I shldn't have ordered all 3 sweet ones. But then, I thought it was a natural trait for donuts to be sweet? **************************** Sch's boring this few weeks. While the normal jc1s are having their PW and MTL intensive, we are being forced into the library to do self-study. No life. I wouldn't mind I knew that I could get my h1 changed, at least I can utilize this time to study. But now, other than reading random stuff, I'm still reading random stuff. The only more interesting stuff is when we go to the grandstand after lunch to try out some MMA moves. Anyone wants to try kimura armlock? But the version I learned is different from the one below. Posted by Rui Kang 9:31 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2008年10月21日火曜日I can only hope mr lee finally decides to let me change my h1 e.lit to physics. I promise I will study very very hard this hols. Status: pending... ******************************** I will not let my e.lit pull down my As results next year. Posted by Rui Kang 20:06 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2008年10月18日土曜日All thanks to John I'm downloading the game PerfectWorld now. 2.4GB. o.0 I will strangle him if the game turns out to be thrashy. =) **************************** Went with the usual gyming ppl to Clark Quay ysd to check out FightG. Its an academy that teaches MMA (mixed martial arts), Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Akido, Muay Thai, etc. Can't believe that such a place exists in S'pore. but the place itself leaves a rather bad impression on me. Sleazy place, you can say that. Its in a series of old shophouses, and it gives me that kind of 黑道 feeling. But if I have the $, I would want to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It enables a smaller person to overcome a larger opponent. =) Imagine I pin Fyn to the ground and he's crying for mercy.... =) Posted by Rui Kang 9:38 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I swear that I will not lose to the same person twice. Filthy hypocrite. Didn't you say that you don't know whether you will pass you maths paper? Then why did you manage to get an A? You can say that I'm jealous or whatever. A failing grade and an A is a great difference in terms of marks. Obviously one would know how well he or she would do for the paper. Just say that the paper is easy la. Why do you have to say that you are afraid that you will fail your paper? I don't think thats being humble. And you have always said that you are slow in learning things. Slow ppl don't just get their As overnight. Slow? My foot. Very well. We shall battle it out next year, and see how slow you are. Posted by Rui Kang 9:26 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Got back all my results this week. H2 Geography : 68% B H2 Math: 68% B H2 Econs: 45% E H1 GP: 53% D H1 E.lit: 36% U (as usual) To summarize, I'm promoted!!! =) Damn sian la. My math and geog could have gotten As. I can't believe I got the ratio theorem for vectors wrong. 3:1 I wrote in the working as 1:3. Thats 3 marks gone. Could have been a 71. Geog I got the term drainage efficiency mixed up with channel efficiency. Thats 4 marks gone. Could have been a 72 then. =( Econs is the most 瞎 one. I actually missed out the whole of extract 3 and a bit of extract 2 for the case study. I dunno how I flip the page la. I din realise it until when Mdm Loh went thru the case study answers and she was talking about the supermarkets selling organic food. I was like wondering since when does the case study involved the word organic food. =x E.lit as usual. Flunk. Not that I give a damn anyways. Gave up on the world's most stupid subject long ago. But next year how? I want to try to appeal to the new V.P to let me change my H1, since I have so much time to study this Oct, Nov, and Dec. I still rmb that v.p that I was referred to last year, he just refused to let my change my combi. He say I cannot guarantee that I wil do well if I change my combi. But now? Didn't I get a B for my geog? Luckily I changed my H2 thru the subject head, not the v.p. If not I'll be screwed. ***************************** My sis said that most of the time she sees my playing with my handphone and not studying. Uh huh. So what. I study smart what. =) I dun just cram everything into my brain... =) (waves to my sis if you are reading this.) Hmmm..... Enough of this nonsense. Posted by Rui Kang 8:58 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2008年10月11日土曜日 Multitude of colours Don't you all think the red stairs is rather eye-catching? (This is one of the hardest I've ever edited before. Wonder why? Compare below.)  Multitude of colours (unedited) See the tall building behind? I had to remove the black stuff and clone in the windows. (If you look closely enough, the last 2 windows from the right, second row are flawed. But I can't be bothered though.) Besides that, magic-wanding the stairs is tough. =(  Old flats (Well, the flats ain't old, they are just sepia-rized.) I have got the urge to clone away the lump of ugly clouds at the bottom left corner and replace them by the blue sky, but I think its rather tough. So oh well... Posted by Rui Kang 12:23 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Found this poem (if you call this a poem) that I wrote last year October. Thought that its rather meaningful to bring it up again. Of course, that was after I know that I retained la, haha. Mistakes Every step we take, there's no turning back. Every decision we make, constitutes a big mistake. Every key we tap, there is no backspace. We look forward to the future, never turning back. We aspire to soar higher, but something's holding us back. We did try harder, but life simply turns out just like that. Oh who could we blame but ourselves, For the time we once whiled away. Now that the truth dawns on us, a revelation, its all too late. Our ends are near, our fates sealed, living a life full of regrets. One year of time wasted, No, two! perhaps this journey is not meant to be. What is not meant to be, will not be. Adverse effects it brings, if we force it. Same it applies, to love; A toad can never complement a swan. Posted by Rui Kang 10:15 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The teachers went through the mid-course DRQ questions with us ysd during lecture. They haven't marked finish the essays yet, so we couldn't get the papers back. The overall results so far looks promising: 5% of the cohort got E 15% of the cohort got D 60% of the cohort got C 15% got B and lastly 5% got A That is, none of us failed the DRQ section. Applause* But still, there is the essay section. Meanwhile, while going thru the questions, I realised I made a unforgivable mistake. I actually mistook the term "drainage efficiency" with "channel efficiency" Thats quite a painful loss of 4 marks/40. And the one on population pyramid, the model is a progressive pyramid, not a regressive one. Thats another 3 marks gone. On a lighter note, the rest seems alright. =) *************************** The teachers then shared with us some funny answers that some of the students wrote. Heres a few, if I can rmb them correctly. Qn: Define weathering and mass movement. Ans: Weathering is the change in global temperatures and ...... due to climatic factors....., and mass movement is the movement of mass. ROFL. Since when is weathering a change in climate? And "mass movement is the movement of mass" is rather funny too. The whole question is like, just rephrased as the answer. And the funniest part is yet to come. Rmb Luke, the Moutn Gucci and Mt Prada guy? He strikes back once again. There was this qn on fieldwork studies, on how to measure the velocity of a river. He wrote: " Bring four oranges, 3 for consumption, and 1 left to be used for during the fieldwork studies." Thats part 1 of his joke. Using an orange is correct, due to its bright colour and ability to float. But, coming up with " Bring four oranges, 3 for consumption" is really meant to be a joke. The whole LT had a good time laughing. The second one: "I would ask my partner to retrieve the orange at all costs for future consumption." "then repeat the experiment a few times." LOL. The teacher gave a comment like this: " Eat the last orange already how to repeat the experiment?" Another ROFL. That really brightens up my gloomy day.... Posted by Rui Kang 9:41 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - How I wish they would stop making plans about what to do if they were to fail promos and get superannuated from the college. Its making me so tensed up. Can't they just wait until we get back our results before making such comments? Now I'm starting to worry.... I have feedbacked to them to stop these nonsense, and they said that I've been doing reasonably well for class tests and I shouldn't be worrying about it. But I mean, peers do have a certain degree of influence on each other, and by making such pessimistic comments, it makes me feel pessimistic too. Damn. Why can't the teachers just mark the scripts faster? The sooner they disclose the results, the sonner we are freed from suspense. I have put in much effort, although not to the extent of studying 8 hours a day. If something screws up, I would be so upset. Well, I'll just have to wait... i was rather confident about the papers, I wonder what will happen to me if the results come back to me in red marks. Posted by Rui Kang 9:27 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2008年10月9日木曜日Blog song changed! Its titled "My Heart Will Go On", but nope, its not by Celine Dion. Its by a Jap singer named 伊藤由奈. And I think her version is better. ******************** Anyways, I have been wondering recently about something. I noticed that some ppl prefer to turn to the right, while some to the left, to go up the escalator in a MRT station. (Assuming both sides are up-travelling.) Interesting to me to ponder upon though, I'm a left-side traveller. No matter which station, I always turn to my left after passing the gantry. Hmmm.... *************************** Another thing ppl might not have tried, but I just tried it on my way home just now. Well, that is, to walk with my eyes closed. In an enclosed area, with a str8 path in front but obstacles around (walls, bins, whatever.) I could only walk 6, 6 , 7 steps ( 3 tries ) before I opened my eyes for fear of crashing into sth. Whereas on a wide space (take for eg the road or grass patch with no significant obstacles), I could walk with my eyes close for 9, 10, 12 steps respectively. Again, sth to do with mentality huh? Posted by Rui Kang 14:12 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2008年10月7日火曜日  Samsung Innov8 is out! 8 megapixel camera! But still, I think I will wait for the Sony Ericsson C905. 8.1 megapixels, and its a brand which I can trust. Like what Mr Chu said during one lecture: " Samsung ah.... Cannot make it la!" Lol. Korean brand not that bad leh, but still I prefer a Japan + USA brand. =) Posted by Rui Kang 14:02 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Yoohoo!!!! I officially declare mid-course OVER!!!! Geography was quite ok. At least, it wasn't like last year, where I know what will the results be even before I sit for the paper. A few points to reflect upon though. =x - Firstly, I have quite slackened down every since the June hols. It wasn't easy to pick up momentum again. -Secondly, I would like to thank all the teachers who taught me this year. You all were great!!! At least, so much better than what we had last year, (not to mention dear Mr K. who taught my class 数学 last year. 9 ppl retained from my last yr's class. =/) Ok, it's not time to push the blame or anything, and I'm certainly not trying to blame anyone. I mean, its my fault for not studying last year, but still, GOOD teachers play an impt role in guiding their students. Imagine, if you are experiencing problems in some questions, and you would like to seek help from ur tutors, of course you would expect ur tutors to teach u with the utmost patience. Hmmpf. Definitely not someone who asks u to refer to the lecture notes, and scolds you everytime u try to ask sth. -Thirdly. Paying attention during lectures is so damn impt. To be frank, I have not fallen asleep in any of the lectures this year, not even maths. (Applause*) =) Forthly: Staying in good health is essential. I got a shock on Sun morning, (or should I say noon?) which I woke up. The world is like spinning non-stop, and I felt very very giddy. Couldn't cram anything into my brain for the whole day, not to say Monday also. Had to see the doctor in the end, and I'm still on medication now. Scary la, I thought I would fall asleep during the paper today. Nevertheless, its all over. For all who are reflecting on what they have done or have not done this year, here's a picture that suits the scenario. =)  Reflections Posted by Rui Kang 13:40 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2008年10月4日土曜日Yes!!! One more paper left! Had GP on Monday. Lolx. Probably chose the hardest question to do. My topic was on sth like " Is science becoming the new religion of man?" =.= Crap my way thru. =x Tuesday was eng lit. ROFL. Nvrm, I gave up on that subject long ago. Wed public hols! Went to gym with Valent and Jie Kai as usual. (Mon, wed and fri.) Yong Kang din come, he overslept. -.- Studied at Bukit Batok's Macs after that. We damn bad la, nvr buy anything and we just sit down and study. I think the workers there din dare to chase us away. =) He keep loitering around our table but nvr do anything. instead, he chased students of the other tables. =) Thursday, Econs paper. Finished everything in time. But crap la, I chose the hardest qn for essay again la. (According to Jie kai, thats what Mr Chu says.) The one on soaring oil prices. The saddest thing was, one of the factors that affects the soaring of oil prices, I wrote US war on Afghanistan. Like, WTF? Shld be on Iraq instead. Damn. And Afghan produces natural gas, not oil. Iraq is the one with oil. Hope Mdm Loh dun penalise me for that sia. =x Other than that the rest shld be alright. Fri, ysd. Maths. So worried before I went for the paper la. But overall the paper was ok la, but the last qn is a screwed up one. I can't seem to sketch the bloody curve C on my GC! It turns out to be some unknown curve that represents a straight line. Damn. Went gym after that, but had to wait for yk to go home take clothes. Reached home like, about 9? Anyways geog paper next tuesday. Gonna study alr. =) I'm like banking on my 3 H2s for promotions.
