April Fools, Block Test and Obsession with Les Miserables

Ah how I love and hate Monday. Well for one thing it's april fools, my last april fool in ny. For another, it's the start of the block test. Oh whyyyyyy how I wish everything is merely a joke! Had been mugging physics for the past two days, not sure if I started too late since it's the first time that I make detailed notes, for physics. For the past three years too little attention has been given to this wonderful subject from me, so I shall begin taking it more seriously, since I'm already certain that I'll take physics in JC. My grades for the subject has always been, not good nor bad. Neither has it impressed nor depressed me (except for EOY last yr but it's all a different story).

And for LA, I'm not going to care much about it. What I do have no effect on my grades whatsoever, no matter how much or how little I cared for it, it's always been that bad.

Dropping the subject on BT, I'm now in a crazy obsession over les miserables. I have been listening to the tracks again and again, even more than classical music. Shall share a few here.







Or if you don't have a lot of time, here are what I think the best(and more popular)



























Sorry that the sequence is little messed up. Some of them are not really popular but I really like them so I put them down :)

LSC and march holidays

I just came back from graces camp. During the camp, there had been times of happiness, but somehow I always feel a bit sad when it comes to these times. I laughed and smiled a lot, yet feeling a slight blueness. The memories of time spent in nygh rushed through my mind, and I suddenly realised that I'm already sec 4. And then I realised that I'm about to graduate soon, and this lifeskill camp is going to be the last one I ever will have. I was reading the posts on nygh confessions where sec 1s, 2s and 3s are happily commenting on their LSCs, and made me think: wow, somehow I've already been through 3 LSCs! 

I think it always occurs to me, that I'll tend to feel sad in times of extreme happiness. 

Never mind, I'm being overly emotional. I'll now talk about a happy thing. I managed to re-contact AYL!!! Ah, it's that feeling when you get to talk to your long lost friend. She still remains my best friend. I feel that she the person who can understand me, having the most similar thinking as me. It's like two jig saw puzzle pieces, fitting perfectly. I really wish we can spend some time together and talk about our experiences since we parted. I realise that relationships will get diluted with time. I really hope that we will still be able to maintain our friendship, and share things we love. 

This LSC is also slightly different for me compared to others. It is more special, in the sense that I can observe a person in greater detail. This year may be a tough year for the person, I wish the person all the best, and remember: what doesn't kill you make you stronger :)

I don't know if the person will be able to see this. Most likely not. Still, I would like to offer my wishes, in you having a good life ahead, enjoy your life and live it to the fullest. A poem dedicated to you: 

   我是天空里的一片云,
    偶尔投影在你的波心——
      你不必讶异,
      更无须欢喜——
    在转瞬间消灭了踪影。
    你我相逢在黑夜的海上,
    你有你的,我有我的,方向;
      你记得也好,
      最好你忘掉,
    在这交会时互放的光亮!

Smashed comp

My comp is crashed, literally. 

7 March 2013 marks the death of my computer, my awesome acer laptop. Cause of death: being smashed by a hammer. Cause of cause of death: my mom.

Yup my mom smashed my comp with a hammer. It's not exactly my comp, since she also has an admin account on that comp. In fact, it isn't even my comp because I'm just a standard account. 

However, since she never really use it and I use it all the time and it's forever stationed in my room, I guess it can be called "my comp".

Anyway, the thing started out like this:

Some days before, I was given the privilege to get into the admin account because I can't download the software with just a standard account. (need admin password). You really have no idea how irritating the guest account thing is. You can't download anything and upgrade any plug-ins or software. You also cannot fix problems because you don't have the "admin rights". Some more I was restricted by the stupid windows parental control. I can't log in before or after my allocated time slots. Sometimes when I'm using halfway, the comp will just auto log-off because the time is up. Sometimes the thing can really get onto my nerves. Imagine you are writing your essay halfway and bam, the comp auto log off. You didn't even save your work. And when you ask your parents to log into their account to extend the time they will give a stingy 1 hour extension, when 15 min has already passed to extend the thing and switch back the account. I get really tensed up and pressurized whenever my time is going to be up. I totally hate that feeling. Therefore after under the tyrant rule of the parental control for such long I can finally change my fate and be free, so I went to change my account type to be admin and disabled all the parental control. 

Well this kind of thing has happened before and my parents always dismissed them as a form of joke/ sth not very serious. So this time after my mom found out she went to change back the parental control with me sitting at the side watching everything happen. Well of course I can't just sit there and watch this happen so I tried to grab the mouse and change my account type back to admin. 

For no reason my mom suddenly became very angry and she said you can't live like this anymore!! (For the previous 4 days I've been sleeping quite late because I'm chionging my chem olympiad presentation and my mom thought that I slept so late mainly because I was wandering in the internet well I can't disagree completely that they took some time but I used the comp mainly for chionging the presentation and not random stuff) I continued to try to "fight" with her. Suddenly she said that if I'm going to continue she'll go and smash the comp.

Given that my parents are quite, well how shall I put it, the save money type I believe that she won't do sth that stupid so I challenged her to smash it. 

So, the tragedy happened. 

Now I'm using my mom's comp, with the wifi spoiled, connected using LAN cable and thus only been able to go internet on the sofa. I still have to chiong my six page IH reflection T.T How am I going to chiong it now without the wifi? My IH SIA report is still stored in the smashed comp...

Anyway thanks to the IH reflection I have a chance to use this comp and connect to internet. After a while I'll have to go offline. *sad life* I really don't understand what's wrong with my parents.

Anyway, RIP comp.
