Hoildays have ended. So fast , a month had passes ... My hoildays had been spent on attending New South Wales preparation course , projects & homework. OF course , left a bit of free time for going out.
The timetable had changed for this semester. No change at all. Still had to bear through the A.maths & E.maths on the same day. Only this time, A.maths changed to Wed and Thu. THu is the worst. 3 periods of A.maths accompant by 1 period of E.maths after recess. Before recess was 2 periods of physic. But this timetable was okay to me as I like the way the subjects are being spread. But there was an error in the sec 4 's timetable .As a result , our 2nd timetable had to be changed again ! Now , A.maths had return to Monday and tuesday , with E.maths & Physic & Chemis on the same day. Seemed to be a boring day on Monday and Tuesday .
This semester had to work extra hard if I want to buck up. I 'm determined to pass my A.maths & Chemis. End year is coming in 2 months ' time. 26th OR 29th September. SO there isn't any time left till O-LEVEL. DEAD DEAD DEAD! With so much things to do yet so 'LITTLE TIME" . Time 's precious !!! Treasure Time!

My final Entry !
LAst Sunday , I went to the Singapore Science Centre with jia ping , chun hui and kirti. We arrived at the Science Centre at 10.30am. There were already a lot of people there. Maybe because it was a Sunday , it was during the school hoilday and there were quite a lot of activities. There were an exhibition on the inventions of the ancient Chinese , a video on Qin Shi Huang ( the 1st emperor of China ) and Chemistry week activities. We were there for the Chemistry week. Ms loh , our chemistry teacher wanted us to attend some activities and write a journal as well as showing her photos to prove we were there.
So we paid an entrance fee of $3 and went in. Straight away we went to 3rd level where the labs were located . We went for the Blue Print . Blue Print is when people in the pass had no photocopy machine and hence uses blur print. The advantage of Blue print were that it allows an unlimited number of prints to be made without degradaton and assures highly accurate dimensions on the copies. The resulting prints were also resistant to fading , markings and alteration. Additionally , the blue print process is less expensive compared to a silver based photographic process.
The process of making blue print is quite fun as we were allowed to make our own designs . Jia ping took quite a logn time for hers as she wanted it to be perfect. ha ha =) For me , well , I just didn't knew which design I wanted so I just drew some patterns. The whole course took about 1hr .From 11am-12pm.
After that we went for lunch and returned at 2pm for our second course , which was Designing T-shirt . At first we thought it was just a course of desinging T-Shirts by drawing on it and using chemical effects and etc. But we were wrong. In fact we all the patterns which we want on out T-shirt would spread . The T-shirt Designing uses the concept of solubility . The ink made by the markers pen would be spread using enthnol . So you would get a circle of colourful rings instead .
No choice , but to do something on the T-shirt. Jia ping refused to design on hers so she went to design on Kirti's T-shirt.
After the course , we went to view some exhibits and went home. This was quite a learning journey for us.

My 3rd entry
Home sweet home , I'm back from far out in the massive sea!
For the pass few days or rather weeks , I have been worrying about this and that. Maybe I 've seen movies of ship sinking that I developed a sense of uncomfortable when my parents planned a trip to Superstar Star Virgo together with aunt , uncle , grandpa & my 4years old cousin . But anyway , I kept praying hard that nothing bad is going to happen on this trip. Thankfully maybe I 've been a bit too parnoid, nothing happen and I enjoyed the cruise.
We set off at 9pm +++ going to 10pm when we finally boarded the ship.We actually waited for 1 hr +++ for the check in ( getting the cabin key) and another 1hr +++ for the board in ( checking of bags and luggage ) . The quene was EXTREMELY LONG ! and the quene only moved a bit after a few minutes. A lot of people got impatient and unhappy over this. Maybe there were far too many people going or the way they planned the check in & board in was terribly bad.
Before getting onto the ship, at the entrance there were people and mascots standing there , taking your photo . Next , I knew they were going to ask you to buy the photos they have taken .Smart way of earning money . But had to buy for the sake of memory keeping .
Our room turned out to be small . There were 4 beds. 2 by the corner , 1 on the top and 1 on the bottom. There were a short show on TV about what and how to do when there was an emergency. There were an demonstration too and we learned how to wear life jacket. Went for supper at the chinese restaurant at 11pm ! First time in my life eating at 11pm when it's consider not good for health but anyway who cares. Too hungry after the long wait.The food was quite okay and we explore the ship .Went to the top deck which was Deck 13. There were a swimming pool , library , writing room , spa and etc there . The night scenary of Singapore was really nice. At 12 am sharp , the ship started sailing away from the harbour. Was told there were two boats at each end to pull it out of the harbour.
Couldn't sleep throughout the 1st night.Keep hearing the engine of the ship goes 'bot bot bot' and the people next door to us keep going in and out , making a lot of noise.In the end I ended up sleeping for a few hours only.
Day 2 , went for breadfast at the Mediterranean Buffet .Guess the cook didn't sleep well or .... Cause the food was bad. Not all but majority. But the view from the restaurant was nice. We were in the middle of a nowhere but a gigantic sea . There were fishermen 's boats . The fishermen were really great , sailing on a motor boat. The boat was consider small compared to the sea.
Then we went to Mid - valley Megamall in KL . The mall was far bigger than Vivo City .But the shops were similar to what we had in Singapore. Had to report at 7pm sharp or we 'll had to go back on our own. The trip to and fro took 1 and a half hour. Goes to show how big Kl was AND it's only one part of Malaysia .Due to Traffic Jam in KL.
We missed Dinner Time so had to wait for supper before eating . And supper was at 12am . Pretty hungry at that time.
Luckily, the second night , I slept throughout and woke up to view sunrise. The scene was pretty but the wind was quite strong. Almost blew my jacket off.Went to jacuzzi . First time in a jacuzzi in a middle of a big sea.This time round , the buffet served better tasting breadfast . Had to check out of the rooms before 12 noon as the ship sailed back to Singapore.Arrived in Singapore while having lunch .
The cruise turned out great only on the second day. The first day was filled with rush and me , worrying about the ship sinking, ha ha =D

Today went to AMK Library in the morning to do the mobile work. I reached there at 9.55am and already there were a lot of people waiting outside . Then it opened even before i got there. So all the people were like rushing in for the seats . The library had seats with a table . So everyone were like wanting thoses seats. Those who could not get went to the small cafe next to the library for there are seats availble there.Ying xuan came a bit late N we settle on the couch to do the mobile .Mess around with the mobile N got a bit impatient with it. Then we gave up and decided to go in search of cards with music in them N baby mobile . COuldn't found any . So we walk to Macdonald n share the seaweed shaker fries. Very salthy. Ying xuan put the whole packet in . No wonders...
Ha ha ying xuan recently keep looking at clothes . So we went around browsing which one is nice , which one is not nice. All i could thought of was FOOD.HUngry at that time.Didn't had breakfast . Had some ice-cream and brought lunch home.
Nice day after all . ha ha.
Left only one week to the ending of school hoilday.It seemed so fast two weeks had gone in a flash. Time really flies . Now i truly understood the meaning.

So anyway, We arrived there and immediately I yearn for ice-cream. Just can't resist myself. Chun Hui accompanied and we bought Sakura Ice-cream. It tastes great. Wewent on to Bugis street where ying xuan saw a full set of clothes and skirt. She asked for the price : $39.90 .She meant to buy it but gave up the idea in the end. SHe bought a massage cushion as Father's Day gift instead . Chun hui bought a cup for her Dad and jia ping bought a Winnie the Pooh cushion for her cousin. For me ,well , I didn't bought anything .
Went for lunch and couldn't find any seats. We managed to find one in the end and said 'XIE XIE ' to the old ladies when we thought they were Chinese. But one instead wanted us to speak English to them . Saying to speak more to improve our language. We found it funny and reply 'THANK YOU' to them and they left. Weird. CHun Hui was quite piss off and say we thought they were chinese then did we spoke Mandrain to them. If it were for Malays or Indians , we could have used English instead .
After out goign round and round Bugis , we took an MRT to yishun except for ying xuan. SHe went home. Chun hui and jia ping wanted to cut their hair so i accompanied them. It was a home salon. The lady was jia ping 's cousin godmother OR rather her father's friend 's wife. Complicated relationship. We searched around for the blk and asked a man instead . Finally found it. Heard the owner got a DOG. Jia ping was afraid of Dogs. The minute we stood at the door, the dog welcome us by barking. It scares us and we screamed . The owner then kept the dog in the room but it kept barking . The process of cutting hair took a long time. I was asleep when it came to jia ping's turn.
Went to Northpoint 's mac to eat the Seaweed shaker fries. Dying to have it since the last time I didn't get to have it.There was nothing much at Northpoint so we went home.
Thinking back , I really found the ladies too amusing . Maybe they didn't knew Mandrain , hence wanting us to speak English to them = D

Okay , here 's my second entry .
Went out with gals yesterday to Bugis. We agree to meet at 10am but me and chun hui were slightly early so we went down to the underpass linking the MRT station with AMK HUB cause the air-con there were stronger. We met ying xuan and we went to CHEERS . Ying xuan wanted to buy a drink 'Watever' and we decided to go to NTUC when we met jia ping . She went to the underpass for air-con too. Can't blame us. The weather 's been got lately .
ALL DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING ! I can't help being worried about the effects that Global warming is going to bring us. In school , we studies Global Warming through Geography and we students knew that the effects and consequences of Global Warming is dire. God knows what will happened 50 years later. Just some days ago , I have read the Straits times. One of the articles showcase a mountain which was rather tall covering the sky in the 1960s and now , the mountain is no longer covering the sky but the top layer of it , had melted . So you can see the consequences of what Global Warming had in place on our environment. If our environment is affected , somehow, it will too indirectly afftects us. Only now, did people from all around the world had been trying to reduce Global Warming when the effects it had was a bit dire. WHY AREN"T PEOPLE CONCERN ABOUT IT IN THE PAST ? Places like NTUC and etc , had been advising people to bring their own bags instead of using plastic bags and if they want to use plastic bags instead on specific days . they would had to pay for it. I think this is a great idea. But not many people are using this idea. So far, I 've only seen a few doing that. In other countries, this had started a few years back and you can see on TV that people bought their own shopping bags when going out to buy grocery and etc. I hope more SINGAPOREANS would kindly bring their own bags out when doing shopping . The idea might be weird but it will certainly do good to our environment.
I would also like to suggest using more of public transport and not cars as they gave out CARBON DIOXIDE . There are many ways a person could help the environment but people 's character are being LAZY. I wouldn't deny that myself as something I , too am being lazy . But we had to do something or else what on earth is going to happen in the near future ?
