Selfless.

Oh God what has happened to Blogger? It's like it's been wrestled unkindly into something that resembles the lovechild of Google docs and the colour orange. I don't think I like it much. 

This is a video of a man doing good deeds on his birthday. That is so sweet. On a day where everything is supposed to be about you, he made it about everyone else instead. 

The weekend is here, but that means exams are closer and that's nothing to look forward too. 

Thursday was a long day, because we had Math, Chem, Eco, Chem, and then PE. Didn't do as well for the Chem test as I wanted, and totally messed up the Math GCT. Beautiful. 

PE teacher gave us Kit Kat after PE, which was surprising. She's not an incompetent teacher at all, really. It's just that we think she's crazy sometimes. But our ball-playing skills have probably improved under her. 

Friday wasn't very eventful either, really. We had a ridiculously long assembly programme where Ms Chua talked about this award thing the Ministry of Education is doing, where they give out cash to nice people. I don't think the vigorous process will help with the nominating, because we really hate filling in forms. But then again, it'll prove that we really think that person is worthy if we go to all that trouble. 

Had Math after that. Mr Lin just summarised chapters 4 and 5 and gave us some pointers for Tuesday's test (Oh God there's a test on Tuesday). 

Practical-ed for Physics, after our in-class assignment. Was surprisingly easy, considering how little I studied for it. I mean, it felt like I did nothing because there were no questions or examples to attempt, nothing. Just words and a few equations and five pages' worth of notes. The prac was fun, but then again I enjoy most Physics practicals. Paired up with Jia Hong, and was so perfectionist we were last to pack up. But I think we have awesome data so that's fine. Interestingly we were also asked to apply our newly-acquired Stats skills on our data. Just whoa. 

English was totally fun, because it amuses us to no end to try to annoy Ms Dass. She's great for dealing with us so well. Talked about gender equality and stuff. Women need to realise that if they still want to live in a world where chivalry exists, they really need to get rid of the whole feminism thing. They really can not go together. You cannot demand equality while at the same time asking to be treated better without doing the same. 

In the end we watched a speech by Michelle Obama. She is a great speaker, and I swear I was paying attention to what she was saying, but we really couldn't help but laugh at the little things that happened. Like the ridiculously large number of people crying, and the severe unglamness of many people caught on camera. 


Went for CCA, but the school was having some electrical problems and the Internet was down. No hostel LAN, no wi-fi, and that's why I slept early last night. 

Went out for dinner with Wee Thean, Kelvin and KT after CCA. Surprisingly there were seats at the Holland V. branch of 'Everything With Fries'. After being appetite-less from being sick and all, and being cooped up in school, I hadn't stuffed myself like that in ages. So full, but so satisfied. Mm. 


Had this Bruneian thing this morning, but that wasn't interesting. 

Then did my part of the Tioman report (ish, hopefully Galen isn't too pissed at me) and caught qualifying on television in the TV room. Hamilton on pole, followed by Maldonado and Vettel. Sigh. 

Will talk about the race tomorrow. 

Night.
