Michael Yap...........The Pretender to the King of Pop

<$blogdateheaderdate$>

Hiiiii guys I am back from Korea.........lovely place with lovely people, and I almost forgot that I actually belonged to Singapore when I was there.....I really had a lot of fun there, with all those sight seeing and stuff, and the people there were also very very friendly.....Somemore this is the first time I actually travelled to a country by plane, so I was practically enjoying every single moment I was there.......Also bought a lot of stuff from Korea, like KIMCHI, and many many more types of chocolate that made my luggage almost overweight -.-. Anyway I summarise what happened there.....

Day 1 (12/11/2009):
Arrived at Terminal 2 at 7.10pm.....Daddy insisted that I leave the house at 6.45pm, cause he damn scared got jam??? Idk whats the point of going there so early when the meeting time was like 8.30?? But anyway, upon reaching there, went to look around the airport, since I haven gone there for idk how many years le.....Turned out that I wasnt the eariest to arrive, coz Edmund reached at 5 plus??? Then went to Burger King, stoned there for a moment, talked to parents, took pictures with them, then saw Jianwei with his parents as well. After that went to assemble with everybody, got our luggage tags, then I found out that I had the biggest luggage there??? Ok maybe Mr Yazeed the bigger but then I didnt expect everyone to bring so small ones lo.....after that we went to check in our luggage....first time experience for me so I a bit lost but nevertheless everything was okay........after that we took some group fotos then we left for the gate........Goodbye Singapore!!! Then at the place where they scanned the hand luggage, Jonathan kena caught for bringing scissors in his pencil case........I think he oso damn dulan, coz his scissors kena confiscated....then we waited a while, after that we boarded the plane....zzzz the bad thing is that we flew economic class, then the place is like som cramp, then not much space for you to move about de.....Settled down, then realised that I was sitting beside Zann, same row as Kah Bing, Kaiwen. Jonathan, Jianwei sat together, then they were like practically laughing throughout the entire trip watching American's Funniest Videos?? Soon after we boarded the plane, supper was served.....I ate fish, and I think the food wasnt very nice....too little le...Make me hungry for the whole night........Somemore Idk y me, Kaiwen and Zann couldnt sleep a wink throughout the entire flight.....Maybe becoz first time for me, plus the engines were very loud, so I wasnt able to sleep. and somemore I slept so much the night before, then end up awake the entire night...So we ended up talking, listening to music, monitoring the flight status, and watching videos the whole nite -.-

Day 2 (13/11/2009):
Reached the airport at 5.50am Korean time. First experience for me in single digit temperatures......while I muz say the weather was indeed quite cooling there....after changing into our long john in the airport, we went to meet our guide in Korea...his name is Uncle Kim....nice guy I muz say.....actually the idea is that every Korean I see are nice people.....very entertaining and friendly...after leaving the airport we went for breakfast at a restaurant....UDdong....wif the much awaited KIMCHI......not bad I muz say...not spicy, and it makes a very good appetizer. Then we went to the DMZ there.......on the bus trip I was practically sleeping throughout, coz I didnt sleep last nite ma....then very sian on the bus....somemore it took around 1hr plus, so boring and sian....after reaching the DMZ we went pass a check point of South Korean soliders.....turns out that those people were in charge of preventing the North Korean people from entering the South, and the DMZ was buffer zone before the North and South that was 155 miles long, and was 4km wide....we went to third tunnel first, which was a tunnel dug by North Korean soliders to make an attack on Seoul......how cunning the Northerners were...Then we also noticed something very interesting in the tunnel....it was very small, and the height was like around 1.7m....then we keep hitting our heads on the roofs of the tunnel....then we go no choice but to keep bending down, until our backs damn pain.........thankfully it was only for a very short while, then we went to another museum to view a little more stuff on the Korean War, then we went to the Dora Observatory, which the most northern most observatory of South Korea. From there we saw a propaganda village, and apparently these wuliao Northerners built this village to propagate communist messages to the South in attempt to lure them to join the North. Then we went there to take some photos, but there was a rule, which was that we were not allowed to take photos beyond that yellow lin drawn for us.....weird rules sia...Anyway after that we took the bus back to Seoul. Throughout the journey I felt so groggy lo, since I never slept at all the night before......then we went to the M Hotel...actually we supposed to go for our boat cruise first de, but anyway we went to the Hotel to put our luggage first. M Hotel is really a very nice place to stay lo, although it looks very small on the outside, but the rooms are very spacious and better than many of our rooms....after putting our bags down we still had much time left, so I went to surf the Net and post on Facebook....turns out the Internet speed is quite good, and the com is perfect except for the Korea language used....anyway soon it was time for the boat cruise at the Han River....its a very nice place, and the scenery was very nice.....oh yea did I mention that one condominum in Korea can be worth up to 1 million USD.....awesomely high prices man, compared to Singapore, where you can get a house along Goodman Road for only 1 million SGD. We then went take pictures, looking around Korea, enjoying the cool air on the deck....soon after going back and fro we went back up shore and then we headed for dinner........Dinner was BBQ Pork, and Idk how poor Mr Yazeed had to do to sette his dinner??? Maybe he went to another restaurant for his meal ba.....after the meal we boarded the bus and went back to M Hotel.....The toliets there were very spacious, at least two times bigger than the one in my house lo......after that we head our shower then we went to bed without even completing the workbook activities......Leave it for tommorrow ba :D

O Level Chinese yesterday.........Actually the paper was quite okay la, but then its hard for O lvl standard la..Get what I mean???

Paper one is so so la, but then my 公函 is super short la, and the ideas damn stupid de, cos I also cant think properly la.........In the first place my exam mood wasnt there la. It seemed like juz any other Chinese exam, juz go there pia lo, succeed then good, fail then nvm lo D:. Then my compo I crap damn a lot lo, dun noe will 离题or not.....Somemore got like damn a lot of people like me like that write question 1 and 5, then confirm they will mark damn strict de...HOPEFULLY I STILL CAN GET MY A1:D

Then paper two is considered one of the hardest normal chinese paper I do la, then I oso luan luan lai, juz anyhow go chiong get one A1 come back.......Lucky I quite confident of my 综合填空 and the 理解测验 la, so 30 mark should be able to get 25 like that ba............Then the open ended part need explaination la, so a bit unlike normal papers where you juz control-c, control-v then gao tim le.......So need to infer de........Lucky my inference skills not that bad la, so shouldnt screw up that badly lo.........I think can get around 31 out of 40??? coz like this add up then juz nice 80% lo.....Somemore this one O lvl leh, then will affect your future de. Then many ppl say hard, so I think should be in my favour ba, since if overall bad then will end up that those at the top of the bell curve get the A1. Somemore if chinese A1 then wont be pressurised next year le.........Hopefully nothing goes wrong and I get the damn A1. And Edmund dun need so sad la, the results also haven come out what make you so super you cant get your A1 rite. CHEER UP man :D

Off to do more packing le.........FOR TMR DE KOREA TRIP :D

许多时候，我们拍照，是为了把美好的时光记载下来。
没有人会在伤心的时候拍照留念。
于是，
有幸福的结婚照，没有凄惨的离婚照。
有宝宝满月派队的照片，却没有人会在死亡告别仪式上拍照。
拍照，是为了不想让美丽的回忆被流逝，被淡忘。

但许多时候，那些没被相机记录下来的画面和生活，反而在我们脑海里
更加清晰，更有感触。不是吗？

Here are my results

English: C6

Not bad le la. But then I a bit not happy that my Situational Writing is marked by a certain Mr Gwee, who awards people 0 points for TF.

Den a certain Yeoshiyuan deducted 0.5 marks for not writing your name for Writing Paper. Very clever, huh??

Comprehension score 10 points is good la, considering the Marking Scheme is crap.

Higher Chinese: B3

No comments la. Hu ask the damn Chinese department to set such an "easy" paper? :(

And this time the compo everyone score 40 plus, not like the previous time when the average score was 50 plus?? So how to score well??

A Math: A1

Quite happy le, although all my mistakes were all due to carelessness. But other than that, this paper helped to pull up my average a lot!!

E Math: A1

Good Result, but then SCREW the damn Sec 1 and 2 work, make me lose so many marks :((

Chemistry: A1

The marking scheme was terrible, so many correct answers were marked wrongly. Seriously they should review the way they mark the papers. Crap man........

Physics: A1

No comments, except I thought definitions were only tested in MCQ?? Then I never go memorise end up minusing like 4 marks?? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Biology: B3

Shit marks, and I expected it, cos I started studying at 9pm???? Sure die de la......

SS + E History: A2

Social Studies psss is damn heng la, considering so many failed.............
Plus I did not do one 7 mark question, then during the debrief tat time, I keep thinking will fail, will fail...............Lucky nothing bad happened

E History I damn tyco the la. Cos before the paper i go practise the SEQ question both got come out, and exactly somemore, so they shiok liao.

Overall L1R5: 9

Parent's Comments: You should do better, 4A1 is no good!!!!
