It was screwed. And I'm about to tell you why, so don't ask.
I was doing perfectly fine until the last question. I was wondering how to bloody use similarity with 2 figures and 2 unknowns. Until the last 2 seconds, when exasperated me decided to take another look at the question. Guess what I saw: a conical flask of 18cm radius and 28cm height! And the height uncovered by water was given as 14 cm. What the FUCK.
And God has to add salt to my wound by letting me see the number 2 seconds before Mrs. Chong called time. I was flipping the page over, just put my pen on the paper, and suddenly "pens down" came ringing through the classroom. Shitbags.
Hopefully I won't be so careless at EOYs. Screw it 7 marks gone. Could have gotten full now only max 23. Shitbags. MUG MORE (although my theory is perfectly fine) and CARELESS LESS (which I am desperately LACKING).

Happy Belated Mid-Autumn Festival
Right. Study Math under the stars. You wish, Mrs. Chong.
Anyway, happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Did any of us do ANYTHING to celebrate this? I ate a few mooncakes xD. And walked with my bro, who was holding a lantern, and my other bro, who was holding a stick with 5 candles attached to it. Burning. =.= Only problem is that there was the Math CCT the day after the night of the MAF. Sheesh, such a party pooper. =D
SNOW SKIN MOONCAKES ROCK. ESPECIALLY DURIAN. OWNS. Sorry xD I just looove snow-skinned mooncakes. They taste damn pro can? Better than the traditional ones (sorry whoever created them). Mr. Law was really nice in giving the ICC committee a few mooncakes during recess at the staff lounge. Snow-skinned pandan w00tz! Haha he got them from Indonesia. Lollers.
Anyway Mrs. Chong was trying to be drama and she was like: "Okay, today is the mooncake festival so spend tonight with your parents mugging math under the stars." Yeah right.
Oh right, Mrs. Sung gave us a few dengmis. Lantern riddles, for those of you who don't know hanyupinyin. And chocolates. And lanterns. Really cute ones, at that.
Just for the act: I'm going to mug math now. But not for CCT. EOYs coming up OMFG!

Freaked Out.
Ok people. Do NOT believe this post. I don't believe it myself either.
I went for Rafflesian Spotlight auditions today. And hopefully didn't screw up. I was like freaking nervous la. It was a spontaneous decision based on the nudging by the Sec 4s, ok? xD Anyway I did I'd Do Anything by Simple Plan, because I can roughly hit all the pitches right, so there.
Guess who were the judges? Ms Grace Kong, Mr Law Hock Ling and Mrs. ROSIE SMITH OMGWTFBBQ. She wasn't that bad for my one though... didn't say anything haha. Which may be good or bad I dunno. Ms Kong said that I should have chosen a song which shows off my voice more.. and I need to enunciate clearly. Was I mumbling?
Then Mr. Law said something about volume control. Erm, what's wrong with that, I have no idea, k? I mean, even normally people sing quite loudly. Including Nabil. But still. He also said that I have to. Erm. Not close my eyes so much. I'm sorry, but I was nervous and that's the only way I hit high pitches. Closing my eyes. xD
But all in all it wasn't THAT bad... part of me wants to reach the next stage but part of me is too freaked to want to. =.=
Were there supposed to be mikes in the audition room? And since when did auditions have live AUDIENCES?! Bleargh.
Maybe I shall post about the Tioman trip and ICC tomorrow. During Comm class, if there's time. Bleah I NEED TO POST ABOUT THOSE TWO. Or else they'll really become forgotten memoirs. =)

Drama Challenge PWNZ. Really.
Ok. Drama Challenge was concluded not so long ago, but I slacked for a bit. So finally this post is coming up! =D
Well we've been working on this for the past 2 terms, and I'm glad to say that we did fairly well for it, despite major stumbling blocks along the way. The actors got their lines right, the crew was like a well-oiled machination, and the music was nearly perfect ('cept for Scene 3 yea). So, good job guys.
In the start, we weren't really very focused on the job. The selection of cast and crew took really very long, and the director was indecisive in his choices. Not to mention the scriptwriters took quite some time to produce a script, and even then only with the lecturing by Ms. Rosie. =.=
Martin was selected by popular vote as director, but it turned out to be a crap decision. He selected actors based on his liking for them, and designated random people to random roles. For example, even though I was earnest in acting for the play, he chose people who did not want to even act as main actors. Sheesh. He was also involved in many arguments with the cast over the script, the acting, the whatever. But more about this later. (I take part of this back)
In the end, the final decisions for cast were: Antonio -- Weng Hong, Bassanio -- Anderson, Shylock -- Jasdeep, Portia -- Darren, Nerissa -- Chia, Gratiano -- Jia Rong, Lorenzo -- Me! =.=, Salarino -- Wesley, Solanio -- Suwe. And the organising committee: Director/Dramaturge -- Martin, Assistant Director -- Pei Yuan, Stage Manager -- Suwe, blah blah blah.
WE ROCKED. Honestly, our final product went without a single hitch. Except for MAYBE a bit of hesitation on Jasdeep's part, but I call it SPECIAL EFFECTS XD. And I'm apologizing to Martin for blasting him so badly those days. I know it's long over, but still. WE WERE 10TH AND 2P WERE BETTER THAN US?! SOMEONE DID SOMETHING AND WE ALL KNOW IT. HMM.
But ah well, we know that we did a great job, and no one is going to take away this accomplishment from us. 2Q'07 FTW.

2nd Day of Term 3
OMG Drama Challenge TOMORROW?! 2Q FTW -- Go for it, guys!
Today was damn boring, as usual.
Math was normal: Nothing to talk about except: I might be getting the hang of congruency! w00tz.
P.E. was almost totally screwed up: We were doing softball, and Jasdeep was being a bitch/retard/asshole/whatever. He insisted on pitching; screwed the whole team up. Got damn pissed because of that.
But after that Chinese was back to boringness. OMG there's such a word! Cool. Sian la listen to people who dictate essays to us, not present. Hmm. Recess time =D
General Science (yes, it isn't Bio) was ok, we just got our groupings for the atomic bomb awareness kit, and spent nearly the whole lesson yapping about it.
And finally assembly: It was supposed to be an environmental talk by someone from NIE, but in the end she wasn't feeling well so it turned out to be a ICC talk/Documentary showing.
Third lang was shiok. There was a lesson observation today, but I didn't screw up that badly yay. We were asked to do a dialog on shopping, so my group just translated Russel Peter's $34.50 into Malay. Haha. Cikgu commended me on successfully acting like a Cinaman talking in Malay.
"Rehearsals" were screwed up. I mean, half the people who stayed back were taupoking each other while Martin, Deep, WH and Anderson tried to work out Scene 3. Kudos. I went to 2L and when I went back down the class was locked le (so early?!).
Sorry for this wuliao post; it's something like a filler before my pictures from Tioman come in =D
