Youth Camp '08

Date: 10~14th December 2008

Avenue: Kem Putra Sentosa

Theme: 另眼相看

so... 10th ~ 14th. I went to camp. 5 days 4 nights.

same as last year's. it's still held at the same place.

the programs were slightly different and the atmosphere are completely different.

I don't know what changed it, it's just felt so serious. 

also, the participants were much lesser than last year. ( eyes calculation)

anyway, I did enjoy, but didn't have much fun. Although this is not important, but I still want to speak it out. I have 3 other One Middler in my group. That will be 4 including me. hehe....

I'm sorry if I'm confusing you. 

The Flag..(using watercolour)

Group photo with teachers

We got the second place, group 4 too. 

The leaves and flowers

know what is this?

the bar chart..

hehe...

Singapore

4th ~ 8th December, I'm gone to Singapore.
Ya. It's Singapore.
Right after Geografi.
So, how long was it since my last visit? hm.. 3 or 5 years?
Anyway, it's Singapore. What's so good about it? Bookstores!!!!!
Kinokuniya, MPH, times and Kinokuniya again.
Went to 2 Kinokuniyas on the same day and 2 MPHs too but only 1 times.
those comics in Kinokuniya were around 5.50 ~ 8.00 Singapore Dollar. You mutiply it with 2.4 and that's the price in Malaysia Ringgit. haha..
so.. all the while, I tried not to think about the difference in currency, I spent my money.
Just as what sis said, "You had changed the money from RM to Singapore Dollar and you can't do anything to change it back. "
LOL
by the way, there's 'twilight' eveywhere in the bookstore. It's in cinema in Singapore at around 12th of December I think if I'm not mistaken. hehe... Although the movie is not yet out in the cinema, the books sold like what. == You can't find "twilight" in MPH and times though. None. Only the other three books are to be seen lying there. wow.
well, happy since I get to go to so much bookstores. the bad thing was, the hotel we stayed in. .. I don't want to mention that.
Anyway, I finished Dracula in the airport in Johor while waiting for the luggage to beable check-in. We reached the airport at arounf 2 something in the afternoon and our flight was scheduled at around 8 in the evening. == so it was like 5 hours in a small and no entertainment airport. It's worst than Kuching International Airport. Oh, so it's Kuching INTERNATIONAL Airport and that one is Senai Airport. So that is the difference. O I SEE. ==

I received this:

SPM考生在11月11日考试那天在7点15分到冷气讲堂拿准考证.
记得要带身份证. 传给一中的考生.

English is better sometimes.

Then I will stick to it.

know something? My emotions are unpredictable recently. It goes up and down rapidly. Even me myself can't really control it. The main cause? Seriously, I have no idea.

The only thing I know is that, this happens recently. get the word? RECENTLY. I have never been like that before. I mean, I do have low moods sometimes, but not with moods that keep on changing. It's like, I can go to school happy and cheerful and everything seems wonderful, but, go home with heavy dark clouds wrapping around me.

I thought this will just go away if I bear with it. But then, things are never that easy. I need to find out a way to push off those emotions.

I found out that, songs are really great friends. They sing out feelings that matches us.

吵! 烦! 去死啦!

整天讲讲讲, 讲不完么??!!!

把老师都当什么了? 透明人啊?!

那些想上课的人怪可怜的. 没办法好好上课. 整天只听到后面那些吵架声.

哼.

Tomorrow Raya's holiday!!!
Wednesday too~!!!

go Damai.. hehe..

美腿

看, 颜色多鲜艳.

这个叫艺术!!!~~~~

美腿+鲜艳的颜色=另类艺术!!!

Flood

ITS ... flooding.

lol. Flash Flood.

why don't it just rained harder and flood the whole school?....

... I did think of running into the water and take a picture of the whole school, but, ...eew...

by the way, it's on Thursday 11/8, nearly the 15th of the eight month in the Lunar calendar. That's why the water rise so fast, high tide.

went to have my hair cut just now. hehe...

it's much more shorter than my previous cut!! I mean, the back part.

I don't mind the front part, since I don't quite like my front hair to be long, so, short and light is OK to me.

one thing I like after having my hair : my head is lighter!!!!!!!!

hehe........

You know these?

taken from Here

It's safe to follow "the five second rule" for food dropped on the floor.

Verdict: FICTION.

It's probably not even safe to follow a one-second rule: The transfer of bacteria from a contaminated surface to food is almost instantaneous—or, at the very least, quicker than your reflexes. In a recent study, Clemson University food scientist Paul Dawson, Ph.D., and students contaminated several surfaces (ceramic tile, wood flooring, and carpet) with Salmonella. They then dropped pieces of bologna and slices of bread on the surfaces for as little as five seconds and as long as 60 seconds. After just five seconds, both food types had already picked up as many as 1,800 bacteria (more bad bugs adhered to the moisture-rich bologna than the bread); after a full minute, it was up to 10 times that amount.

Bottom Line: There are 76 million cases of foodborne illness annually in the United States, according to the CDC—so unless you're the only family on the block that sterilizes their floors on an hourly basis, you should refrain from eating dropped food. "Let's not forget what comes into contact with floors—people bring animal feces on their shoes into their homes," Dawson says. And don't assume that countertops are clean. Dawson's team also found that the Salmonella actually survived as long as four weeks on the test surfaces. As the recent tomato-related illnesses nationwide showed, "raw fruits and vegetables are as frequently the perpetrators of Salmonella transfer as poultry," Dawson says.

Cracking your knuckles can cause arthritis

Verdict: FICTION.

If you're suffering from osteoarthritis in your hands, it certainly has nothing to do with this nervous tic. One study at the former Mount Carmel Mercy Hospital in Detroit compared 74 people (age 45 and older) who had been chronic knuckle crackers for decades with 226 who always left their hands alone; researchers found no difference in the incidence of osteoarthritis between the two groups. But there are reasons to stop this annoying habit: The same study found knuckle crackers to be far more likely to have weaker grip strength and greater hand swelling, both of which can limit dexterity. As for osteoarthritis, that's more likely due to genetics and increasing age.

Bottom Line: Try turning your nervous energy into a less harmful habit that occupies your hands (such as doodling). If a different activity doesn't get you to stop, try putting a large rubber band around your wrist and every time you catch yourself cracking your knuckles, pull it back and let it snap as a reminder that your habit really can be harmful. Most important, get to the bottom of what's causing your nervousness in the first place—you may crack your knuckles more often at work than at home, for example—and address those sources directly.

Cola-type soft drinks can damage your kidneys.

Verdict: FACT.

Despite their global popularity, there's nothing remotely healthy about cola beverages: Drinking 16 ounces or more daily (whether diet or regular) doubles your risk of chronic kidney disease, according to a recent NIH study of more than 900 people. The researchers already knew that consuming any type of soft drink—the average American adult guzzles 59 gallons' worth per year—is associated with several risk factors for kidney disease (hypertension, diabetes, and kidney stones), but the spike in the cola category was remarkable. Experts suspect that the ingredient phosphoric acid may be the culprit; it's been repeatedly linked to "urinary changes that promote kidney stones," say the study authors. Cola has an additional knock against it: Consumption is associated with significantly lower bone density in women, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures, says a separate study.

Bottom Line: If you're going to indulge in an occasional soda, go for Sprite, 7-Up, ginger ale, and the like—the NIH study found that noncola drinks didn't have the same impact on the kidneys. But you'll be better off if you skip soda altogether, even the sugar-free varieties: Recent research showed an association between drinking diet soda and weight gain.

"Double dipping" spreads germs from one chip to another.

Verdict: FACT.

In a classic episode of "Seinfeld," a man accused George Costanza of spreading germs by "double-dipping"—swiping a chip into a bowl of dip, taking a bite, and then dipping the same chip again. Having settled the five-second rule debate, Clemson University's Dawson decided to do the same recently with this alleged party faux pas. It turns out that George really was contaminating the other guests: Using Wheat Thins and various dips, Dawson found that a double-dip deposited thousands of saliva bacteria into the dip—and of those, 50 to 100 were later transferred through the dip to a clean cracker, presumably destined for another guest's mouth. Still unknown, however, is how long such bacteria can survive in the dip or if they can actually infect another dipper upon ingestion.

Bottom Line: You'd better be pretty comfy with your party guests. "Eating from a dip after someone has dipped twice is basically the same as kissing that person," Dawson says. Be especially wary of thin dips; the study found that the lower the dip's viscosity, the higher the rate of germ transfer from a double dip. For example, a chip's second plunge into a cheese dip is less cause for concern than a watery salsa—thicker dips apparently don't allow errant bacteria to travel as far as thinner varieties. Finally, think twice about digging into any dip at the end of the night; remnants on the sides or bottom of a bowl are most likely a highly concentrated mash of germs, Dawson says, akin to the last sip in a can of soda.

hehe.. watched yet?? It's kind of cool. I prefer watching Batman to oder heroes. He's human, closer to us. Not like other heroes who has have extraordinary powers to do things. Batman is different. haha...
by the way, many of us went to watch to movies since we ended school at 10:10 in the morning that day. watched in Hall 3, the largest room. ~~~~~

May God Bless you, Amen.

feel like bashing, stabbing, chopping or boxing people, right now. I despise people who left things undone without feeling guilty of their responsibility.

It's because you have done nothing helpful that's why the previous one wanted to gave up his position and landed it on you. He wanted you to do something, take more responsible on the post. But what now, you gave me excuses, say, it's a good practise for me so that I will be able to handle when they are all gone. You know something, I don't think you really know how we all work together. You were, like, absent all the while. Activities, did you join us? Well, I don't have any memory about that, pardon me.

I'm kind of disappointed. For no reasons. I think.

.......... look at those C4s.... just look at them... !!

发现, 我不擅长表达. 不擅长把想法, 感觉, 透过文字, 完全表达出来.
既然表达不出来, 就只能塞进心里, 不理会. 改天有时间, 在慢慢回想克服解决.

为什么最近总觉得有无形的压力在压着我呀?? 应该是没有什么事情使我动摇啊. 还是说, 责任感的问题. 觉得自己没办法搞好, 所以有的没的烦恼一踊而上, 占据了整个脑袋, 形成了压力. ..... 什么东西嘛.

我在说废话. 无视我吧.

622 passed that day, smoothly. Luckily nothing big happened that day, or else, everything will be done for. There's no rain too. Good~

lots and lots of people. saw quite a number of previous years' seniors. saw some other school's friends. saw this saw that. saw many types of food especially.

so, how are you guys that day? good? fun? ok. enjoyed yourselves.

hm... about today.
today's hot. I am sticky from head to toe by the time the last tune rang. can't wait to go home to have a cold shower.

anyway, Lisan is next week. Oral is the week after the following week of Lisan's.

oh dear............

Journal & Diary

Journal and Diary, is there, any big differences between them? besides the spelling and all, I think it's what it leads to make the difference. I mean, journal, to me, it's something that you could share with others. Your thoughts, your ideas, you feelings, open up for others to read. It's more public, that's why there are journalists living around. As for diary, it's much more of the privacy of oneself. You don't go sharing your diary like you do of your journal to anyone, don't you? If you do, I don't think what you wrote is private anymore, not the general idea of 'diary'. Well, that's what I think. What you think maybe different from mine. After all with are different individuals and have different brains working in our skull.

Why am I talking about this suddenly? something inspired me. Dracula. the way the story unfolds in the book.

the book consits of journals of different characters', diary and newpaper's cuts. so, it's like the story is narrated by different people chronogically towards the end. I got bored during the beginning of the book, cause it's full of long description and things. The more I read into the story, I realised all those boring parts in the beginning seems take an important in understanding the story. It portayed completely the image of the Count so that the reader could have a clear image of him and beable to understand the feeling of the characters when they see him.

Anyway, difficulties in reading this Penguin Classic, there is. The phrase, the sentences, sometimes even the whole paragraph. I don't understand what the narrator is trying to show to us readers. They are strangers to me.

I only read the book in school, not at home. Don't know why. When I reach school, I have the urge of keep reading it. By the time I reach home, the feeling just gone vanished. Didn't even bother to touch it too. What's the main reason, I wonder.

I have been admiring the powerful and intelligent lords of the night, vampires. Talking about vampires, of course Count Dracula is to be mentioned in any book regarding vampires. He's like the first vampire ever appeared in books, as far as I know. After him, many books start having vampires in stories. Kind of happy that Bram Stroker (the author of Dracula) created this Dracula thing.```

Primary school's class's gathering last night. ~ about 2 years since the previous one. that was in .. room 205. this time, in The Spring.

We had lunch first at Crown Square. Friends were having their hair cut when I feast on mine. Too hungry to wait any longer. Well, the meal was ok. No comment.
At first, I thought we were not gonna make it on time, but then, we finished our lunch quickly and caught a transport to The Star. We were on time for the 3 o'clock show. Saw many schoolmates and a few classmates there. hehe... so, while watching the movie, most of the audience sitting around, spoke in Chinese. haha.. all came from the same school.

The movie is quite long. About 2 hours 18 minutes if I am not mistaken. hehe
