Today is the first day of the exams. And first paper today was DPA. I had everything planned yesterday with Teng Hui and Fazri to come to school at nine in the morning to study for the exam today. I came slightly late at around nine twenty, but still no one was there. Fazri was on his way and Damn Teng Hui was sound a sleep at home
-___-"
Since I was there first. I study at the bench at the Electronics block myself while waiting for Fazri to come. He came at almost ten and we started studying together. As usual both of us did not touch our textbook at home. Both of us doing last minute shit there five hours before the exams. We were both trying hard squeeze everything inside our brain but it seems to leak out after it went in... Cant seem to go in. Later on Mr Tony Lee, One of the our department's teacher opened a class so that we can study in air-conned condition. We went in to study. Teng Hui came later. So did our old friend from previous semester. Ramesh, Junmin and Jeffery. And two from their class came in and study together. Fazri and I left the room at around two thirty. Still worrying as we complain the notting went in.
We went into the exam room at around two fifty and prepared for the exam. Amazingly the paper was damn easy. Paper one was kinda though. I answered only 20marks out of 40 worth of question correct. There rest I put crap answer. Section B was Easy! Did the paper with ease. Hopefully I can get all of section B correct! I hope to get an A for the paper!!

Hmmm... Notting much happened this week... Mainly revision since tomorrow is the start of the Exams!! Wah!!! Stress!! Hahax Well, Since there aint much to talk about... I decided to blog about what I think of Peer Pressure. These are all first hand experience. =X
Yah know... Peer Pressure has bad effects on people and it has good effects in certain ways too. It seems that peer pressure works most at the teenage time of our lifes. Mainly during secondary schools period. Weather or not you turn to the dark side or the light sides kinda depends mainly on the friends you make, the decision you make and the decipline you recieve around you. During that period most will not notice it since the mind is still young.
Lets take for example Smoking. As we all know smoking is a habit where kids of secondary school pick up easily. Some even started since primary school. Why start at such a young age? I asked many who smokes. Most are due to stress and curiosity. But then, it all still amounted back to peer pressure. Curiosity is the always the case. Where one will see his friend happily puffing his health away and wondering how cool is it to try one. Most of the time the friend will offer a stick for him to try out and you know the out come. One stick will not hook you. But continuous smoking will create habit and in the end... They cant quit since habits are hard to change.
Stress is also one of reasons. This applys to mainly to those who doesnt look like the type who smokes. The type with the decent face so to speak. If I tell you guys I use to smoke are you able to picture it? Actually I really used to smoke. During my O'level period. I believe those who went through O'levels know how stressful it can get. When too many things are going through your head you just wanna scream your lungs out so as to let it all out. You know the feeling... Hahax Mine occured during the september holidays where our DnT projects are already behind schedule. I wanted to sneak out of class just to chill out a lil but my friends went to buy cigarettes and there I was being the odd one out. You see the pressure there? The peer pressure there was when all other are in it and I aint. Best of all they were all so carefree and here I am worrying. Oh yah. Maybe I should share how big the peer pressure was. Out of 19 boys in my class only five person never touched a cigarette before. The rest all smoker -___-" Eventually I was in it.
Well going into smoking isnt the end... Peer Pressure can make you go into smoking. It too also can get you out of smoking! How it works? Let me explain... Ever since I got into smoking. I never went on to be a heavy smoker. In fact I limit myself and untill finally I made a resolution to quit by the time I turn eighteen. Just because I made the move to quit. My friends started to feel motivated. And soon one by one quit. And when the last one is left, he will feel out of place and eventually quit too. You see, Peer Pressure works in all ways. But good ones has to come with someone taking initiative. If you wanna quit smoking and you find it hard, come to me. I will assist you in it! I can promise you success!
Geez I seem to have written an essay... Hahax
Wednesday, March 22, 2006
YES!! Finally my CCD project is done! And I managed to 90 marks for it!! YEAH!!!! Man its one hell of a hard work man! Especially the part when I tested the project. I wasnt working the first time. None of the 22 bulbs light up at all! -___-" Wah I was so fed up xia! Wanted to heck care already. Spent so much hard work soldering it and not a bulb light up. Well, too bad! Since I got the sentence "Never Give Up" Stuck in my mind, I decided to find out the problem! Hahax! In the end I realised it was due to my messy soldering done on the PCB... Where some circult which are not supposed to be connected are connected -__-" Wah terrible xia! Use the pen knife to scrap out the "not suppose to join parts". Worst part was to help all my poor friends who didnt know what to do with their "not working" project work by scrapping their "not suppose to join parts". I cant remember how many weeks I spent on the project and I also cant remember how many cursing and swearing words we shouted. We all even sweared in all three english chinese and malay. Hahax but still the best part was that no one gave up!
As usual CCD class at eight in the morning. Suppose to end at twelve but since after lunch there isnt class so teacher allowed us to continue till late. Teacher pushed us hard so that we can finish it today. We rushed our project, all of us. Some not working ones panicked as I helped them. Dont talk about the nitec students ok? They didnt not come today. Why? They are pros man. The finished it last week and the best part? THEY DESIGN THEIR OWN CIRCULT! -____-"" WHY ARE THEY SO DAMN PRO!!!???? ARRGGH!!! Ok ok lets chill here alright? Lets get back to the main topic, our project... Hahax Hafiz the lame ass finished first and ran off... We help him and yet he never help his friends -___-" Like in chinese they say ah? Wang En Fu Yi. For those who dont know... Go find out XDXD. Dunno why Fazri the top student never come... I was so eager to help him finish up and yet he never come... Ah well... Anyway I'm so glad we all finished the project. I even more glad that I got 90 marks for it! (coz mine is unique? =X Hahax). Well the part that I makes me feel great was being able to help out my buddies in their project. But I felt real bad not being able to help Fazri since he did not come =(
How my project looks? Nice? Hahax! Copied exactly from the example =X
Outside look nice? Check out the inside. Went throught alot of hard work to make this mess inside. Hahax 
I even had a copyright engraved on my Printed Circult board! Hahax!!

He copied the guy beside him since the guy beside him was copying the textbook... Hahax!!
After the test was lunch time. After lunch was self revision. We got a worksheet to practice on too. Wasnt that hard though the paper. I did the paper untill I got bored of it and I sneak out of class to the SC room. I got ushering duty to do at five in the auditorium. Have to wear blazer again... Say...

One T-shirt, One long sleeve white shirt and a blazer. And I dare say in the auditorium I still feel cold! Everything ended at six forty-five. After ushering everyone to the foyer for refreshment before going to the foyer and ourself and enjoy the refreshment. Hahax! Wah this I must say man! The food they cater was great man! All of us SC members all find it so. Its like the best catered food we ever had. Even got spagheti somemore! Hahax!

One more day and I'm Eighteen!! Yeah! Hahax OMG my teacher Miss Tham is so good! She Ordered Pizza for the class just because its my Birthday tomorrow... At first she wanted us to finish up everything quick so that she can end the class to eat for she is hungry. Some joker came up the idea of ordering pizza. Then someone said to celebrate. The teacher asked what occasion so I just say for fun to celebrate my birthday since its tomorrow. She agreed it out of the blue... I quickly told her I was joking bout the pizza part but she insisted... We ordered eight chiken eings, two pizza from Canadian Pizza, One dunno what pizza one vegetarian one since poor Teng Hui is a vegetarian. Too bad Hafiz ran off early before we discussed bout the pizza thingy. If he is here we gonna have to order one more pizza given his speed and appetite... Hahax
After class I went to Junction 8 with Teng Hui and Wilson went there to meet us later. Went around sight seeing and realised the place seems quite cool! Hahax. The place seems nice. Alot of shops to see also. Now in dilemma on weather Jurong Point is better or Junction 8 is better... Hahax! Both equally good! Went round Junction 8 untill around three plus and Teng Hui suggest we go Toa Payoh for a while. He wanted to go there to play a lil game in the arcade. I went home at around five.

As usual today I came to class at eight in the morning. First class is DPA in com lab where we use the computers to self-study and do a quiz. Got back my DPA retest too. YEAH I scored way better then before. Previously was like 19.5 over 50... Flunk the test totally. Now I got 42 over 50. The one with the higher's score will be recorded. Yeah! Hahax!
After lunch at 12 actually can go home but those who have not finished making the network cable must stay and do -___-" I stayed and finished mine and finally it works... What the heck... Wasted how many cables and connection point's head just to complete two damn network cables... And What the heck! Each time you ask for new cable or new heads teacher will minus marks... ARRGGGHHH!!!! In the end got like 90 and 85 for both cables -__-" I helped some ppl do since my poor friends are struggling like hell to do. I tell you! I do so many times already I remembered the seven wire colors' sequence... White/Orange, Orange, White/Green, Blue, White/Blue, Green, White/Brown, Brown. When everyone was about to complete and leave, Hidayat came... He did not know anything nor did he do anything before... So I help him do and in the end... I finished both cables in a little less then ten minutes. Unlike yesterday spent one hour also cannot complete one cable. Best part is the cable was so perfect the teacher gave him both Full Marks -___________-"
After everything at round two, I went to chill at the SC room to wait for the SC soccer match at Bishan ITE. When its four we reported at the foyer. 4:15pm the bus should be here but it wasnt. Then we realise the stuff forgot to arrange for bus transport -____-""""" In the end the bus came at 4:40pm like that. Reached there round five plus. We comerence the match at 5:30. First half of the game ended and we are losing 2-0... I played for about 15+ minutes as a defender then I was subed back. I tell you if that guy never sub me I sure faint at the field... My stamina was almost drained off... In five minutes I'm already panting... In the end we lost 4-0 -___-"
I walked pass Junction 8 on my way home and I noticed that Junction 8 looks cool! It was the first time I went to Junction 8 and seriously I didnt know it was at bishan... I had no time to shop so I just take a quick glance and head home. Wah! One day must come and take a look. Then make a poll on Jurong Point better or Junction 8 is better... Hahax
Monday, March 06, 2006
Damn I Forgot about today's Annual Acadamy Awards! Actually had it planned that I will go to class, have my attendance marked and proceed to the SC room and watch it. But I forgot! In the end I spent my morning designing the layout of the PCB of my project -___-" By the time I remembered... It ended... Haiz...
There was a General Meeting for all SC memebers in the auditorium at twelve. But Only like a few came... Its actually about tomorrow's Soccer match against Bishan ITE SC members and Stuff. They ask me to play also... Wah! Wan me die ah! I no stamina one leh... Be Goal Keeper I can also pant like hell in just minutes... Well at least I'm just playing as a substitude. Hahax! Bench Warmer
After that I went for CMNT class and it was practical lesson. What the heck! We are ask to make the connection point of a network cable. It seems easy but WTF!!! Try putting eight small wires in order according to the color code and make sure it fits in perfectly... If it does not work or never do a proper work, Minus Marks! WHAT THE HECK!!! Got a tough time man! Expecially the second one where we have to twist the wires and all... Wah! Can hear all kinds of cursing and swearing works coming from everywhere in the class... Hahax
After class I went to the street soccer court. Where a few of those SC memebers taking part in the soccer match tomorrow are playing a little game of soccer as practice. I joined them in a game or two... Wah! Its bad man! In just minutes I'm drained totally off of my stamina... At round five plus I decided to go for rock climbing and What the heck... There was no practice today -____-"
Friday, March 03, 2006
Today's class was replaced buy a field trip to a Printed Circuit Board(PCB) company in bukit batok. Well not exactly replaced since only 10 selected students are asked to go. WTF why am I selected man? Damn ass Fazri and Hamid went to get MC so they skipped the field trip -____-" We went to the factory at round 10:45. We took out own transport. Since its a small group so our teacher didnt arrange transport for us -____-" We went to the office where they showed us how they draw the tracks on the PCB. It looks really cool the way the PCB was drawn. First it was drawn in a program on the PC. Data was transfered to a machine where it will print on a film which looks like transparency. With that film it is then sent to another machine where the board will be printed, layered, drilled and polished. Final part was the testing of the tracks made. To check for mistakes like open circults. The whole place just seems so cool! But hell no I ain gon work in such kind of places.
The field trip ended at 12pm. Wilson wanna go orchard, Hafiz going mosque and back to school, Chin Wei going home and so Poor me was left alone to explore the wonderful West side of singapore... Hahax. Made my way to Boon Lay straight after so that I can take a tour at Jurong Point. I must say Jurong Point is big! The shops inside are kinda cool and interesting too! I'll say Jurong Point mall is bigger then Tampines Mall! More shops there too! Dunno why TM can still be one of the top three shopping malls in singapore... Think coz I go there to offen see the samething always sian already. Hahax
I spent almost an hour plus at Jurong Point and I head for Borders at Orchard to meet Wilson. I left Boon Lay at 2pm. Met up with Wilson Andrew and we went to Far East since Wilson wanna go check out something there. Later at Far East Teng Hui came along. And we went to the Heerens for a walk. And finally we all head to Cinelesuire for a walk. After that we left at 4:45pm. Andrew went another way, Teng Hui decide to go Taka while Wilson and I went home together.
One day I must check out all the shopping mall in the west! It seems so cool to see new shops and stuff. All the shopping mall in the east I see untill sianz already. Must explore abit. Hahax
Thursday, March 02, 2006
Today my class starts at 10am so I can wake up a lil later! Hahax. Woke up at nine this morning. Suppose to have PE at 9am but I skipped it. Everytime never mark attendance... Go also waste my time. Went late for class today... I reached class at 10.45am. OMG 45 minutes late! But the teacher wasnt in class and in the end my attendence was marked as punctual! Hahax! After lunch got network test and I didnt study for it... Well... never study... Cheat lah! Hahax. After test can go leave. I went to SC room and chill after the test.
When I went to the SC room. Ganesh was playing with the drums while Hazlami play the Electric guitar and Fazli playing the bass. They were just playing any tune that pops into their minds. The tune seems interesting, rather syncronised though. After a while one other guy game in and played the electric guitar. Ganesh got tired on the drums and I tried sitting in. And what the heck! Drums is so cool! It isnt very hard although trying to cordinate both my legs and hands are kinda tricky. I managed to blend in into the tunes they trying to play. Was rather sycronised though! Hahax! It was the first time I touched the drums somemore! I think I'm cut to play the drums! It seems easier to learn a tune on the drums than on the guitar...
Wah Sianz... Tomorrow must go Bukit Batok tomorrow in the morning for some field trip... No transport provided some more -_____-""" Must reach there by 9:45am And WTF??? Where is Bukit Batok??? Above Jurong East?? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!! Wan me go all the way to the west -____-"" Wah no choice ah must go... Dun go then no attendance... No attendance then CCD cannot get A... Sob Sob.
