Hey there! I've got an important announcement to make: please do not vote for me for students' council! No, this is not reverse psychology and no, this is not a trap or anything. LOL. Ok. Here are the reasons for my decision:
1) I'm attached to my Guitar CCA and thought that I could stay on even if I got into students' council. But I was wrong. The senior teacher advisor for council gave the nominees a speech and mentioned that those who got in but are in performing arts CCAs have to drop it right after their concerts! Boo. )):
2) I plan to go for CIP activities organised by external organisations (Project Palette, YLEP, etc.) and may not have much free time to do so if I were to get into council.
3) I still want to remain as your beloved ACT rep! Haha o_O
4) The past few weeks of preparations have taken a toll on me and I've been very confused, blur and stoned during lectures and tutorials. Breaking out in rashes and my left eye's slightly swollen. Tsk tsk
5) I'll rather quit right at the start than regret for not doing so halfway through, as you're not allowed to step down once you're conferred with a position in council. Must have an EXTREMELY VALID reason to do so. Which I don't. Unless rashes count! LOL =D
So DON'T VOTE FOR ME!! I definitely don't regret the time, energy and money spent during the past few weeks of preparations as it has given me much valuable experience. VOTE FOR SIOW-YI AND ERIK INSTEAD!! They're great people. Don't listen to Ka Yiu. Hahaha.
make yourself free on 21 may afternoon/night! venue's victoria concert hall. i'm not sure about price of tickets - but shouldn't be too expensive! so be there, ok?
a german song here! this is about women (sort of lah)
Flugzeuge im Bauch
du hast 'n schatten im blick dein lachen ist gemalt deine gedanken sind nicht mehr bei mir streichelst mich mechanisch völlig steril eiskalte hand, mir graut vor dir fühl mich leer und verbraucht alles tut weh hab flugzeuge in meinem bauch kann nichts mehr essen kann dich nicht vergessen aber auch das gelingt mir noch gib mir mein herz zurück du brauchst meine liebe nicht gib mir mein herz zurück bevor es auseinanderbricht je eher, je eher du gehst um so leichter, um so leichter wird's für mich ich brauch niemand, der mich quält niemand, der mich zerdrückt niemand, der mich benutzt, wann er will niemand, der mit mir redet nur aus pflichtgefühl der nur seine eitelkeit an mir stillt niemand, der nie da ist wenn man ihn am nötigsten hat wenn man nach luft schnappt, auf dem trocknen schwimmt laß mich los, laß mich in ruhe damit das ein ende nimmt gib mir mein herz zurück du brauchst meine liebe nicht gib mir mein herz zurück bevor es auseinanderbricht je eher, je eher du gehst um so leichter, um so leichter wird's für mich fühl mich leer und verbraucht alles tut weh hab flugzeuge in meinem bauch kann nichts mehr essen kann dich nicht vergessen aber auch das gelingt mir noch gib mir mein herz zurück du brauchst meine liebe nicht gib mir mein herz zurück bevor es auseinanderbricht je eher, je eher du gehst um so leichter, um so leichter wird's für mich
Hwa Chong String Ensemble presents: Inspirations VI
1 may 2006, 7.30 pm, victoria concert hall
the only time you can watch a strings concert with the whole orchestra, including woodwind and brass. guest players from alumni and NUSSO (National University of Singapore String Orchestra). must watch!
Haha since there's no non-lyrics entry for so long I shall write one now! And post some pics too! Actually it's quite belated, about the Project Palette CIP activity some of us participated in last Sat..
My group consisted of my beloved (Danqing), my lover (Xinlei) and my dear (Shuying although she hasn't acknowledged me yet..lol.)! X) And they sabo-ed me to be group leader too. Anyway the whole process was fun..even though we were an all-girls group we were the 2nd to finish, still could walk over to Tiong Bahru Plaza to buy milkshakes from Macs and go auntie-window-shopping at the nearby NTUC hahaha.
The home owners were very welcoming and nice! Kept asking us if we were thirsty and hungry, and kept offering us drinks..aww. And the catered lunch was one of the best I've ever tasted too! Oh yes and at the end of the whole thing we were slacking on the sofa (facing the front door which was open) and watching tv (!!!) I spotted Adriano and Clara from Campus Superstar walk past! And Adriano peeked in curiously some more..then all 4 of us rushed out to spy on them when Adriano suddenly turned around to look at us with this weird look -__-" I think we're their jinx or something because during the following round of Campus Superstar both of them were eliminated! Muahahaha *evil laughter* ><
LOL actually there are more but I'm lazy to put them up =P that's all for now ((:
I feel the brightness love 誰でもいいわけじゃない つないだ手の 熱さはひとつ 彼方を見る瞳に息を止めた あふれる夢が 浮かんでたから
Yes I'm gonna feel all right gonna take a chance シアワセニナレ All I need is love
うまく行くことも そうじゃなく過ぎることだって… でも信じてる いつの日か So shine we are!
English translation:
Gonna take a chance
Something new? Tell me, "what's your dream?" I'll see through a loupe, try me boy The feelings of us coming closer Let's shake more brilliant than the sea Everything that's supposed to go right Sometimes goes by without it But I still believe Someday, So shine we are!
I feel the brightness love When you hug the sun Without leaving one, with you, There's a happiness we'll grant If it's a future that the white waves give We can keep running barefoot
I kept going back in forth in the same place Even if that was the long way around It might have been the short way After being excited Getting kind of lonely We have that in common So shine we are!
I feel the brightness love It can't be just anyone The warmth from the hand we held was one I held my breath at the eyes that looked far away Because overflowing dreams floated there
Yes I'm gonna feel alright Gonna take a chance Let's be happy All I need is love
Everything that's supposed to go right Sometimes goes by without it But I still believe Someday, So shine we are!
Disappear There's a pain that sleeps inside it sleeps with just one eye and awakens the moment that you're near though I try to look away the pain it still remains only leaving when you're next to me
Do you know that everytime you're near everybody else seems far away so can you come and make them disappear make them disappear and we can stay
So I stand and look around distracted by the sounds of everyone and everything I see and I search through every face without a single trace of the person the person that I need
Do you know that everytime you're near everybody else seems far away so can you come and make them disappear make them disappear and we can stay
Can you make them disappear? make them disappear
There's a pain that sleeps inside it sleeps with just one eye and awakens the moment that you're near and I search through every face without a single trace of the person the person that I need
Do you know that everytime you're near everybody else seems far away so can you come and make them disappear make them disappear and we can stay
This song is not directed at anyone btw XDD I just find the tune v nice! Haha
Carmen.k (according to Ka Yiu, "I'm Carmen, k?" LOL)
Why does everyone post either chinese or english songs? So boring. Hahahaha. I shall post a Japanese song from Bleach! Yay!
一輪の花 - High and Mighty Colour
君は君だたしかいないよ kimi wa kimi da tashika inai yo You are you, for certain 代わりなんて他にいないんだ kawarinante hokani inainda There is no substitute for you 枯れないで一輪の花 karenaide ichirin no hana So please don't wilt, my one flower 光がまともに差し込まない君 hikariga matomoni zashi komanai kimi You who lives in the darkness まるで日陰に咲いた花の様 maru de hikage ni saita hana no yo Is like a flower growing un the shade 閉じかけた気持ち吐き出せばいい tojikaketa kimochi haki daseba ii Why not let out the feeling of screwing up? 君は君だたしかいないよ kimi wa kimi da tashika inai yo You are you, for certain 今までもこれから先にも ima mademo korekara sakini mo There is no one like you from past to future 例え君以外の全ての人を敵にまわす tatoe kimi igai no subete no hito wo teki ni mawasu Even if the time comes when everyone except you may become my enemy 時が来ても君の事守りぬくから toki ga kitemo kimi no koto mamiri nuku kara I will protect you from it all 負けないで一輪の花 makenaide ichirin no hana So please don't lose, my one flower
→ very nice song and very nice drama! i would recommend it to all.
Spring, summer, falling winter dream Those are shinning like a star They keep whispering, “I’m so in love with you”
Spring, summer, falling winter love It is breezing to my heart and it keeps telling, “I’ll make you rainbow smile”
I remember when we were angels, when we dreamed about us All my days were happy just like a snowy christmas I wish I’d have them always Every step I make writes a story It is full of the heart feeling love of my life and missing friends of my time I Wish I’d have them all
Spring, summer, falling winter days we’ve been sharing all the hearts love shines in my eyes love just won’t fade away
If you’d all the way show me the world Where I will stay in love All my days will be white Just like a snowy christmas You’re just all I need
There was once a lonely frog. Upon hearing about the existence of a certain Psychic Hotline, he immediately dialled the number. The psychic on the other end picked up the call.
The frog said, "Greetings, I'd like to enquire about my future."
The psychic said, "In a week, you will meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything and anything about you."
Excited, the frog said, "Where will I meet her? At a social function? At a party?"
some lame jokes to brighten up your day ^^ hahahha XD
One morning, a woman and her baby were taking the bus. As she entered the bus, the driver says, "Wow, that is one ugly baby."
The woman, deeply hurt, found a seat next to an elderly man. The man asks, "What's wrong? You look mad." She replied, "I am. That bus driver just insulted me."
"You shouldn't take that from him." the man replied. "He's a public worker and should give you respect. If I were you I would take down his badge number and report him." "You're right sir, I think I will report him," said the woman.
The elderly man says, "Okay, you go on up there and get his badge number and I'll hold your monkey for you."
XDDDDDD
ok another one >.<
In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where a family member lay dying. The doctor came in looking tired and somber. "I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope."
"Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves." The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, “Well, how much does a brain cost?" The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain."
The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile; avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man, unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the male brain so much more expensive?" The doctor smiled at his childish innocence and explained to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've actually been used."
^^ hahahaha whoops.. good that we don't have many males in our class XDD
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh haven't done homework, I have forgotten everything I've learnt. Must be the kids, they're so traumatizing. oh well, but they're fun too. Most of them come from broken homes, so the camp was a really fun thing for them. It kinda was stamina + patience training camp. Oh yes, did I mention to any of you that they were from a few family centres, and that at least 10 racist fights broke out over 2 days? =) had a few casualties, someone fractured her arm, someone else got poked in the eye with the bamboo stick and so on. They even um climbed out of the classroom window after playing soccer in the room. The seniors played soccer with them and the seniors got pwned. Imagine playing soccer everyday, that's how good their skills are lol. The kids are cute when they behave. Yay! Camp Unity rocks!
One day, the stone and the mochi were playing hide and seek. While running, the mochi saw a cave and thought: If I hide in the cave, the rock will not find me! So the mochi hid in the cave for a long time.
Unbeknownst to the mochi, the rock saw the mochi enter the cave. And being a huge rock, the rock could not enter the cave. So the rock decided to lay in wait for the mochi.
After a long time, the mochi thought to itself: The rock must have gone home. So the mochi came out from the cave. And when the rock saw the mochi coming out of the cave, the rock picked the mochi up and threw the mochi into the sea.
The end.
The story of Adam and Eve
Adam and Eve were suddenly separated, and ended up on separate islands. Adam and Eve missed each other dreadfully. Thus, being manly, (and romantic,) Adam wrote a letter to Eve and placed it in a bottle, throwing it out into the sea, hoping that his feelings could reach his beloved, Eve.
At that time, Eve was sitting at the shore of her island, fishing. She suddenly felt a tug on her fishing line. What was it?
1. Take off clothes while sitting on the edge of the bed and leave themin a pile.
2. Walk naked to the bathroom. If you see your wife along the way shake wiener at her making the "woo-woo" sound.
3. Look at your manly physique in the mirror and suck in your gut to seeif you have pecs (no). Admire the size of your wiener in the mirror and scratch your ass.
4. Get in the shower.
5. Don't bother to look for a washcloth (you don't use one).
6. Wash your face.
7. Wash your armpits.
8. Blow your nose in your hands, then let the water just rinse it off.
9. Crack up at how loud your fart sounds in the shower.
10. The majority of time is spent washing your privates and the surrounding area.
11. Wash your butt, leaving those coarse butt hairs on the soap bar.
12. Shampoo your hair (do not use conditioner).
13. Make a shampoo Mohawk.
14. Peek out of shower curtain to look at yourself in the mirror again.
15. Pee (in the shower).
16. Rinse off and get out of the shower. Fail to notice water on thefloor because you left the curtain hanging out of the tub the wholetime.
17. Partially dry off.
18. Look at yourself in the mirror, flex muscles. Admire wiener size again.
19. Leave shower curtain open and wet bath mat on the floor.
20. Leave bathroom fan and light on.
21. Return to the bedroom with towel around your waist. If you pass yourwife, pull off the towel, shake wiener at her, and make the "woo-woo"sound again.
22. Throw wet towel on the bed. Take 2 minutes to get dressed.

class outing, I CANNOT MAKE IT ON FRIDAY!!!
can take new class photo on monday or any day u suggest? need to update the photo on the blog.
Wahh I didn't come online for one day and there are so many posts already! Haha. YES we should snap out of our slackiness mode! *nods* let's make the library our favourite place in school X)
Wellll went to Mediacorp to watch Campus Superstar today again and got to know Xinlei's friend Jun Yan who told me she's coming into our class! Bcos that class' combi is BCME as H2 and her combi is BCM and G as H1. So it seems that they have posted Bao Peng and her wrongly so they're switching places from term 2 onwards. Jun Yan's nice! From St Nick's too and Yushan's classmate since Pri2 can you believe it?! WOW =D
Oh yes class gathering! Ermm can we make it on Friday afternoon? Cycling at East Coast Park? Anyone knows how to get there? If not I can ask around (: Pls reply!
I know it'll be quite discouraging and all but can someone pls list down all the homework we have to complete/tests we have to study for? I'm abit blur at the moment, I think not everyone has the Chem tutorial and I can't find my Bio tutorial even though I was the one who gave it out o_O

Dun u guys feel that our attitude is nt very gd, not deserve 2 b in 7a? I mean wat is our 7a's motto? TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE I feel that ur class, do very everything oso very slow, very indecisive, daily-dally(dun noe wheter this spelling is correct), not active, last minute, lateworks and so on......................... Smthg that a class of excellence shldn't hav.... If we continue doing this, how can we continue the Tradition of excellence??!?!?!
Rite? I would like 2 c some comments leh...............
We'll be having a class outing this hols. From the response in the tagbox, looks like cycling is the most popular activity. So we'll go cycling, most likely at east coast park. Suggestions are welcome. Please indicate, by means of the tagbox or otherwise, which days u guys will be free.
Hellooo! Who wants an outing on Thursday? (Or any other day, pls specify) *raises hand and looks enthusiastic* LOL
We have a few options: 1) Movie (don't know which one) 2) Cycling at East Coast Park 3) Pool at don't-know-where 4) Ice skating at Jurong Entertainment Centre 5) Go someone's house for DVD marathon/silly games/playing mahjong (who has? Invite Yushan! Haha) 5) Any suggestions?
Please answer quick. The week-long holiday is, erm, one week long! Which will just fly past! Hahaha X)
helloz... i've taken the new timetable for term 2 onwards... the original copy is with me, liwei and justin have taken their copy, the rest take from me (i've already photocopied them)...
some important points about the timetable:
other than wednesdays (school ends at 2), everyday ends at 4 pm or later...
PE on monday and friday
3 periods of project work on monday, tuesday and friday
chem lab remains the same, bio loab change venue and time
non-physics people will get back 4 hour break on tuesday! (yay!!!)
chinese h1 and chinese history h1 on monday, wednesday and thursday
no more csp! (yay!!!)
i just realized that out of my 39 hours in school, 36% of the time (14 hours) is break time for me!!!!!!
Aww it's hard to say goodbye..but nevermind! We'll still see each other in school won't we? ((: And WELCOME newcomers! Bao Peng (Bao He's long lost sister..lol. Really la! Even their surnames are the same! And she may be joining string ensemble too! XDD), Geok Han, Xue Fang (Yushan's classmate and CCAmate!), Bi Han (see 2 St Nick's left and 2 others replace them so still the same proportion of St Nick's in our class hahaha) and Michelle (Lynnette's friend! Lucky her ^^)! Must make them feel at home k?
Anyway we were discussing when we are going to use our $70 apple strudel voucher and finally decided that since we can never find a day when everyone is free, we shall sacrifice some people and have the makan session on Friday, after CSP! So we can make it back for CCA (which starts later because of the J2s' CT session) YAYY =D
Okay shall stop here..enjoy your upcoming holidays people!

When you try your best but you don't succeed When you get what you want but not what you need When you feel so tired but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone but it goes to waste Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
Hey! 1) Welcome new friends! (though I don't really know who you are yet!!) And sad goodbyes to ah-lei liuqian yushan zhuni who left us heartlessly... *sobs*
2) Announcement: Physics H2 peeps! Good news: Today no need to hand in Phy pract (in case you haven't realised ><)! Bad news: tmr MUST hand in!
3) must thank wqi for the lame clips! so entertaining haha. Seems like the guy who doesn't do PE is promoting healthnfitness during other periods. Besides the hocky, Mr Ho and his companion aka mrchenliwei were performing professional amateur baseball in chem LAB today (with pencil case and crushed-paper isit), followed by an amazing game of frisbee (with the mesh mat thing we put on top of the tripod) in the same venue. Watch out for more of these in the upcoming season. Coming to you soon in S7A region.

molecule A - nucleic acid;; (DNA or RNA also accepted)
molecule B - amino acids;; (vitamins or chlorophyll also accepted)
molecule C - cellulose;;
Explain why molecule C is a good structural molecule whereas molecule D is only good for storage. [4]
Note: molecule C is cellulose and molecule D is amylose
Molecule C: each monomer rotated 180˚ wrt its neighbour; to form long straight chains; -OH groups sticking out to hydrogen bond with those of adjacent strand; giving rigid structure, tensile strength;
Molecule D: adjacent monomers form a 120˚ bond angle, causing the amylase molecule to coil up to form a compact structure occupying little space; large polysaccharide of many monoers, insoluble, thus not affecting water potential
State one way in which the structure of collagen differs from the structure of molecule C. [1]
Must give comparative statement!
Monomers being amino acids; in collagen but monomers are β-glucose; in molecule C (i.e. cellulose)
amino acid units joined by peptide bonds in collagen; but β-glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds in molecule C.
extended helix; in collagen but straight chains; of cellulose.
QUESTION 2
Name the parts labelled A and B. [2]
A: glycerol;
B: fatty acid;;
Name this type of lipid. [1]
triglyceride;
Name the chemical reaction used to form the bonds between A and B. [1]
condensation
State one function of this type of lipid in living organisms. [1]
energy source or store;; insulation;; waterproofing;; protection;;
State one feature of the molecules of this type of lipid which makes them suitable for the function you have given. [1]
High energy value;; insoluble;; poor conductor of heat;; hydrophobic;;
QUESTION 3
List two structural features represented in the diagram that are common to all enzymes. [2]
disulphide bonds formed between residues far apart on the polypeptide chain; ribonuclease is a globular protein.
presence of active site; which is a pocket or groove on the surface of the protein;
Use this information to describe why ribonuclease becomes inactive.
ref. mercaptoethanol breaks down disulphide bonds between as far apart on the polypeptide chain;
e.g. between residues 26 and 84, between residues 40 and 95, between residues 58 and 110, as well as between residues 65 and 72;
ref. loss of 3-dimensional conformation;
active site; no longer complementary; to sbustrate
liwei uGO AND DIE!! u want our class fund to go bankrupt on the farewell party izzit?? u noe our class fund is in dire straits alr.. and u if u were rly posted to rj and appeal to hc u can stay meh? chey. haha. yuppz we lost the debate in the semis:( but mr tan says that its alr a very great feat that a science class can make it this far.:) heh.and that we've done more than our part for ares..:) and he say our class did MUCH better for crossfire than prevous times!:) *claps claps* --siowyi
I see that there are 66 posts on the blog. My post will be the 67th because 66 and 67 are the buses that I take to school! Yay! I will probably post at the 170th post as well! Haha!
Hey there! I've got an important announcement to make: please do not vote for me for students' council! No, this is not reverse psychology and no, this is not a trap or anything. LOL. Ok. Here are the reasons for my decision:
1) I'm attached to my Guitar CCA and thought that I could stay on even if I got into students' council. But I was wrong. The senior teacher advisor for council gave the nominees a speech and mentioned that those who got in but are in performing arts CCAs have to drop it right after their concerts! Boo. )):
2) I plan to go for CIP activities organised by external organisations (Project Palette, YLEP, etc.) and may not have much free time to do so if I were to get into council.
3) I still want to remain as your beloved ACT rep! Haha o_O
4) The past few weeks of preparations have taken a toll on me and I've been very confused, blur and stoned during lectures and tutorials. Breaking out in rashes and my left eye's slightly swollen. Tsk tsk
5) I'll rather quit right at the start than regret for not doing so halfway through, as you're not allowed to step down once you're conferred with a position in council. Must have an EXTREMELY VALID reason to do so. Which I don't. Unless rashes count! LOL =D
So DON'T VOTE FOR ME!! I definitely don't regret the time, energy and money spent during the past few weeks of preparations as it has given me much valuable experience. VOTE FOR SIOW-YI AND ERIK INSTEAD!! They're great people. Don't listen to Ka Yiu. Hahaha.
make yourself free on 21 may afternoon/night! venue's victoria concert hall. i'm not sure about price of tickets - but shouldn't be too expensive! so be there, ok?

du hast 'n schatten im blick dein lachen ist gemalt deine gedanken sind nicht mehr bei mir streichelst mich mechanisch völlig steril eiskalte hand, mir graut vor dir fühl mich leer und verbraucht alles tut weh hab flugzeuge in meinem bauch kann nichts mehr essen kann dich nicht vergessen aber auch das gelingt mir noch gib mir mein herz zurück du brauchst meine liebe nicht gib mir mein herz zurück bevor es auseinanderbricht je eher, je eher du gehst um so leichter, um so leichter wird's für mich ich brauch niemand, der mich quält niemand, der mich zerdrückt niemand, der mich benutzt, wann er will niemand, der mit mir redet nur aus pflichtgefühl der nur seine eitelkeit an mir stillt niemand, der nie da ist wenn man ihn am nötigsten hat wenn man nach luft schnappt, auf dem trocknen schwimmt laß mich los, laß mich in ruhe damit das ein ende nimmt gib mir mein herz zurück du brauchst meine liebe nicht gib mir mein herz zurück bevor es auseinanderbricht je eher, je eher du gehst um so leichter, um so leichter wird's für mich fühl mich leer und verbraucht alles tut weh hab flugzeuge in meinem bauch kann nichts mehr essen kann dich nicht vergessen aber auch das gelingt mir noch gib mir mein herz zurück du brauchst meine liebe nicht gib mir mein herz zurück bevor es auseinanderbricht je eher, je eher du gehst um so leichter, um so leichter wird's für mich
Hwa Chong String Ensemble presents: Inspirations VI
1 may 2006, 7.30 pm, victoria concert hall
the only time you can watch a strings concert with the whole orchestra, including woodwind and brass. guest players from alumni and NUSSO (National University of Singapore String Orchestra). must watch!
Haha since there's no non-lyrics entry for so long I shall write one now! And post some pics too! Actually it's quite belated, about the Project Palette CIP activity some of us participated in last Sat..
My group consisted of my beloved (Danqing), my lover (Xinlei) and my dear (Shuying although she hasn't acknowledged me yet..lol.)! X) And they sabo-ed me to be group leader too. Anyway the whole process was fun..even though we were an all-girls group we were the 2nd to finish, still could walk over to Tiong Bahru Plaza to buy milkshakes from Macs and go auntie-window-shopping at the nearby NTUC hahaha.
The home owners were very welcoming and nice! Kept asking us if we were thirsty and hungry, and kept offering us drinks..aww. And the catered lunch was one of the best I've ever tasted too! Oh yes and at the end of the whole thing we were slacking on the sofa (facing the front door which was open) and watching tv (!!!) I spotted Adriano and Clara from Campus Superstar walk past! And Adriano peeked in curiously some more..then all 4 of us rushed out to spy on them when Adriano suddenly turned around to look at us with this weird look -__-" I think we're their jinx or something because during the following round of Campus Superstar both of them were eliminated! Muahahaha *evil laughter* ><
LOL actually there are more but I'm lazy to put them up =P that's all for now ((:
I feel the brightness love 誰でもいいわけじゃない つないだ手の 熱さはひとつ 彼方を見る瞳に息を止めた あふれる夢が 浮かんでたから
Yes I'm gonna feel all right gonna take a chance シアワセニナレ All I need is love
うまく行くことも そうじゃなく過ぎることだって… でも信じてる いつの日か So shine we are!
English translation:
Gonna take a chance
Something new? Tell me, "what's your dream?" I'll see through a loupe, try me boy The feelings of us coming closer Let's shake more brilliant than the sea Everything that's supposed to go right Sometimes goes by without it But I still believe Someday, So shine we are!
I feel the brightness love When you hug the sun Without leaving one, with you, There's a happiness we'll grant If it's a future that the white waves give We can keep running barefoot
I kept going back in forth in the same place Even if that was the long way around It might have been the short way After being excited Getting kind of lonely We have that in common So shine we are!
I feel the brightness love It can't be just anyone The warmth from the hand we held was one I held my breath at the eyes that looked far away Because overflowing dreams floated there
Yes I'm gonna feel alright Gonna take a chance Let's be happy All I need is love
Everything that's supposed to go right Sometimes goes by without it But I still believe Someday, So shine we are!
Disappear There's a pain that sleeps inside it sleeps with just one eye and awakens the moment that you're near though I try to look away the pain it still remains only leaving when you're next to me
Do you know that everytime you're near everybody else seems far away so can you come and make them disappear make them disappear and we can stay
So I stand and look around distracted by the sounds of everyone and everything I see and I search through every face without a single trace of the person the person that I need
Do you know that everytime you're near everybody else seems far away so can you come and make them disappear make them disappear and we can stay
Can you make them disappear? make them disappear
There's a pain that sleeps inside it sleeps with just one eye and awakens the moment that you're near and I search through every face without a single trace of the person the person that I need
Do you know that everytime you're near everybody else seems far away so can you come and make them disappear make them disappear and we can stay
This song is not directed at anyone btw XDD I just find the tune v nice! Haha
Carmen.k (according to Ka Yiu, "I'm Carmen, k?" LOL)
Why does everyone post either chinese or english songs? So boring. Hahahaha. I shall post a Japanese song from Bleach! Yay!
一輪の花 - High and Mighty Colour
君は君だたしかいないよ kimi wa kimi da tashika inai yo You are you, for certain 代わりなんて他にいないんだ kawarinante hokani inainda There is no substitute for you 枯れないで一輪の花 karenaide ichirin no hana So please don't wilt, my one flower 光がまともに差し込まない君 hikariga matomoni zashi komanai kimi You who lives in the darkness まるで日陰に咲いた花の様 maru de hikage ni saita hana no yo Is like a flower growing un the shade 閉じかけた気持ち吐き出せばいい tojikaketa kimochi haki daseba ii Why not let out the feeling of screwing up? 君は君だたしかいないよ kimi wa kimi da tashika inai yo You are you, for certain 今までもこれから先にも ima mademo korekara sakini mo There is no one like you from past to future 例え君以外の全ての人を敵にまわす tatoe kimi igai no subete no hito wo teki ni mawasu Even if the time comes when everyone except you may become my enemy 時が来ても君の事守りぬくから toki ga kitemo kimi no koto mamiri nuku kara I will protect you from it all 負けないで一輪の花 makenaide ichirin no hana So please don't lose, my one flower
→ very nice song and very nice drama! i would recommend it to all.
Spring, summer, falling winter dream Those are shinning like a star They keep whispering, “I’m so in love with you”
Spring, summer, falling winter love It is breezing to my heart and it keeps telling, “I’ll make you rainbow smile”
I remember when we were angels, when we dreamed about us All my days were happy just like a snowy christmas I wish I’d have them always Every step I make writes a story It is full of the heart feeling love of my life and missing friends of my time I Wish I’d have them all
Spring, summer, falling winter days we’ve been sharing all the hearts love shines in my eyes love just won’t fade away
If you’d all the way show me the world Where I will stay in love All my days will be white Just like a snowy christmas You’re just all I need
There was once a lonely frog. Upon hearing about the existence of a certain Psychic Hotline, he immediately dialled the number. The psychic on the other end picked up the call.
The frog said, "Greetings, I'd like to enquire about my future."
The psychic said, "In a week, you will meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything and anything about you."
Excited, the frog said, "Where will I meet her? At a social function? At a party?"
some lame jokes to brighten up your day ^^ hahahha XD
One morning, a woman and her baby were taking the bus. As she entered the bus, the driver says, "Wow, that is one ugly baby."
The woman, deeply hurt, found a seat next to an elderly man. The man asks, "What's wrong? You look mad." She replied, "I am. That bus driver just insulted me."
"You shouldn't take that from him." the man replied. "He's a public worker and should give you respect. If I were you I would take down his badge number and report him." "You're right sir, I think I will report him," said the woman.
The elderly man says, "Okay, you go on up there and get his badge number and I'll hold your monkey for you."
XDDDDDD
ok another one >.<
In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where a family member lay dying. The doctor came in looking tired and somber. "I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope."
"Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves." The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, “Well, how much does a brain cost?" The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain."
The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile; avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man, unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the male brain so much more expensive?" The doctor smiled at his childish innocence and explained to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've actually been used."
^^ hahahaha whoops.. good that we don't have many males in our class XDD
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh haven't done homework, I have forgotten everything I've learnt. Must be the kids, they're so traumatizing. oh well, but they're fun too. Most of them come from broken homes, so the camp was a really fun thing for them. It kinda was stamina + patience training camp. Oh yes, did I mention to any of you that they were from a few family centres, and that at least 10 racist fights broke out over 2 days? =) had a few casualties, someone fractured her arm, someone else got poked in the eye with the bamboo stick and so on. They even um climbed out of the classroom window after playing soccer in the room. The seniors played soccer with them and the seniors got pwned. Imagine playing soccer everyday, that's how good their skills are lol. The kids are cute when they behave. Yay! Camp Unity rocks!
One day, the stone and the mochi were playing hide and seek. While running, the mochi saw a cave and thought: If I hide in the cave, the rock will not find me! So the mochi hid in the cave for a long time.
Unbeknownst to the mochi, the rock saw the mochi enter the cave. And being a huge rock, the rock could not enter the cave. So the rock decided to lay in wait for the mochi.
After a long time, the mochi thought to itself: The rock must have gone home. So the mochi came out from the cave. And when the rock saw the mochi coming out of the cave, the rock picked the mochi up and threw the mochi into the sea.
The end.
The story of Adam and Eve
Adam and Eve were suddenly separated, and ended up on separate islands. Adam and Eve missed each other dreadfully. Thus, being manly, (and romantic,) Adam wrote a letter to Eve and placed it in a bottle, throwing it out into the sea, hoping that his feelings could reach his beloved, Eve.
At that time, Eve was sitting at the shore of her island, fishing. She suddenly felt a tug on her fishing line. What was it?
1. Take off clothes while sitting on the edge of the bed and leave themin a pile.
2. Walk naked to the bathroom. If you see your wife along the way shake wiener at her making the "woo-woo" sound.
3. Look at your manly physique in the mirror and suck in your gut to seeif you have pecs (no). Admire the size of your wiener in the mirror and scratch your ass.
4. Get in the shower.
5. Don't bother to look for a washcloth (you don't use one).
6. Wash your face.
7. Wash your armpits.
8. Blow your nose in your hands, then let the water just rinse it off.
9. Crack up at how loud your fart sounds in the shower.
10. The majority of time is spent washing your privates and the surrounding area.
11. Wash your butt, leaving those coarse butt hairs on the soap bar.
12. Shampoo your hair (do not use conditioner).
13. Make a shampoo Mohawk.
14. Peek out of shower curtain to look at yourself in the mirror again.
15. Pee (in the shower).
16. Rinse off and get out of the shower. Fail to notice water on thefloor because you left the curtain hanging out of the tub the wholetime.
17. Partially dry off.
18. Look at yourself in the mirror, flex muscles. Admire wiener size again.
19. Leave shower curtain open and wet bath mat on the floor.
20. Leave bathroom fan and light on.
21. Return to the bedroom with towel around your waist. If you pass yourwife, pull off the towel, shake wiener at her, and make the "woo-woo"sound again.
22. Throw wet towel on the bed. Take 2 minutes to get dressed.

class outing, I CANNOT MAKE IT ON FRIDAY!!!
can take new class photo on monday or any day u suggest? need to update the photo on the blog.
Wahh I didn't come online for one day and there are so many posts already! Haha. YES we should snap out of our slackiness mode! *nods* let's make the library our favourite place in school X)
Wellll went to Mediacorp to watch Campus Superstar today again and got to know Xinlei's friend Jun Yan who told me she's coming into our class! Bcos that class' combi is BCME as H2 and her combi is BCM and G as H1. So it seems that they have posted Bao Peng and her wrongly so they're switching places from term 2 onwards. Jun Yan's nice! From St Nick's too and Yushan's classmate since Pri2 can you believe it?! WOW =D
Oh yes class gathering! Ermm can we make it on Friday afternoon? Cycling at East Coast Park? Anyone knows how to get there? If not I can ask around (: Pls reply!
I know it'll be quite discouraging and all but can someone pls list down all the homework we have to complete/tests we have to study for? I'm abit blur at the moment, I think not everyone has the Chem tutorial and I can't find my Bio tutorial even though I was the one who gave it out o_O
Haha hope you all will have a nice (short) holiday! ^^
OMG!!!!!!! today is monday oledi, one more week, school reopens, that's the end of our holiday!!!!!!!!!
Hi guys and girls, here are some serious matters.....................
I noe it's a little bit extra, but i think we shld do smthg about it.........
First term is gone, that means our first three months of college holiday is gone. I feel that we shld change our attitude and behaviour now! Dun u guys feel that our attitude is nt very gd, not deserve 2 b in 7a? I mean wat is our 7a's motto? TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE I feel that ur class, do very everything oso very slow, very indecisive, daily-dally(dun noe wheter this spelling is correct), not active, last minute, lateworks and so on......................... Smthg that a class of excellence shldn't hav.... If we continue doing this, how can we continue the Tradition of excellence??!?!?!
Rite? I would like 2 c some comments leh...............
We'll be having a class outing this hols. From the response in the tagbox, looks like cycling is the most popular activity. So we'll go cycling, most likely at east coast park. Suggestions are welcome. Please indicate, by means of the tagbox or otherwise, which days u guys will be free.
Hellooo! Who wants an outing on Thursday? (Or any other day, pls specify) *raises hand and looks enthusiastic* LOL
We have a few options: 1) Movie (don't know which one) 2) Cycling at East Coast Park 3) Pool at don't-know-where 4) Ice skating at Jurong Entertainment Centre 5) Go someone's house for DVD marathon/silly games/playing mahjong (who has? Invite Yushan! Haha) 5) Any suggestions?
Please answer quick. The week-long holiday is, erm, one week long! Which will just fly past! Hahaha X)
helloz... i've taken the new timetable for term 2 onwards... the original copy is with me, liwei and justin have taken their copy, the rest take from me (i've already photocopied them)...
some important points about the timetable:
other than wednesdays (school ends at 2), everyday ends at 4 pm or later...
PE on monday and friday
3 periods of project work on monday, tuesday and friday
chem lab remains the same, bio loab change venue and time
non-physics people will get back 4 hour break on tuesday! (yay!!!)
chinese h1 and chinese history h1 on monday, wednesday and thursday
no more csp! (yay!!!)
i just realized that out of my 39 hours in school, 36% of the time (14 hours) is break time for me!!!!!!
Aww it's hard to say goodbye..but nevermind! We'll still see each other in school won't we? ((: And WELCOME newcomers! Bao Peng (Bao He's long lost sister..lol. Really la! Even their surnames are the same! And she may be joining string ensemble too! XDD), Geok Han, Xue Fang (Yushan's classmate and CCAmate!), Bi Han (see 2 St Nick's left and 2 others replace them so still the same proportion of St Nick's in our class hahaha) and Michelle (Lynnette's friend! Lucky her ^^)! Must make them feel at home k?
Anyway we were discussing when we are going to use our $70 apple strudel voucher and finally decided that since we can never find a day when everyone is free, we shall sacrifice some people and have the makan session on Friday, after CSP! So we can make it back for CCA (which starts later because of the J2s' CT session) YAYY =D
Okay shall stop here..enjoy your upcoming holidays people!

When you try your best but you don't succeed When you get what you want but not what you need When you feel so tired but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone but it goes to waste Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
Hey! 1) Welcome new friends! (though I don't really know who you are yet!!) And sad goodbyes to ah-lei liuqian yushan zhuni who left us heartlessly... *sobs*
2) Announcement: Physics H2 peeps! Good news: Today no need to hand in Phy pract (in case you haven't realised ><)! Bad news: tmr MUST hand in!
3) must thank wqi for the lame clips! so entertaining haha. Seems like the guy who doesn't do PE is promoting healthnfitness during other periods. Besides the hocky, Mr Ho and his companion aka mrchenliwei were performing professional amateur baseball in chem LAB today (with pencil case and crushed-paper isit), followed by an amazing game of frisbee (with the mesh mat thing we put on top of the tripod) in the same venue. Watch out for more of these in the upcoming season. Coming to you soon in S7A region.

so sad recently i haven't been doing homework! okay not recently, maybe since last year x( !!! howhowhow grrr. and i keep falling asleep!!! esp during gp ahhhhh (cos i think its awfully boring x.x dont u think so too! >.< ! but mr tan is nice phew) lalalalalalalalalala newsweek is so sian, i'd rather have time (tabloid wahahaha) or national geographic (so says chi), better still, remain ignorant and ignore what's happening to the rest of the world :D :D :D yay -.-" btw, fruit tree pomelo juice is very yucky :X
hmmm. sry this has been a v weird post >.<
this is the fab chenliwei. who is threatening everyone with his ohsocool uh hockey sticks from the dustbin ^^

ahh lazy to upload the rest. pls provide me with a server or sth or ask me to send u if u want -____-"""" ahahahaha
molecule A - nucleic acid;; (DNA or RNA also accepted)
molecule B - amino acids;; (vitamins or chlorophyll also accepted)
molecule C - cellulose;;
Explain why molecule C is a good structural molecule whereas molecule D is only good for storage. [4]
Note: molecule C is cellulose and molecule D is amylose
Molecule C: each monomer rotated 180˚ wrt its neighbour; to form long straight chains; -OH groups sticking out to hydrogen bond with those of adjacent strand; giving rigid structure, tensile strength;
Molecule D: adjacent monomers form a 120˚ bond angle, causing the amylase molecule to coil up to form a compact structure occupying little space; large polysaccharide of many monoers, insoluble, thus not affecting water potential
State one way in which the structure of collagen differs from the structure of molecule C. [1]
Must give comparative statement!
Monomers being amino acids; in collagen but monomers are β-glucose; in molecule C (i.e. cellulose)
amino acid units joined by peptide bonds in collagen; but β-glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds in molecule C.
extended helix; in collagen but straight chains; of cellulose.
QUESTION 2
Name the parts labelled A and B. [2]
A: glycerol;
B: fatty acid;;
Name this type of lipid. [1]
triglyceride;
Name the chemical reaction used to form the bonds between A and B. [1]
condensation
State one function of this type of lipid in living organisms. [1]
energy source or store;; insulation;; waterproofing;; protection;;
State one feature of the molecules of this type of lipid which makes them suitable for the function you have given. [1]
High energy value;; insoluble;; poor conductor of heat;; hydrophobic;;
QUESTION 3
List two structural features represented in the diagram that are common to all enzymes. [2]
disulphide bonds formed between residues far apart on the polypeptide chain; ribonuclease is a globular protein.
presence of active site; which is a pocket or groove on the surface of the protein;
Use this information to describe why ribonuclease becomes inactive.
ref. mercaptoethanol breaks down disulphide bonds between as far apart on the polypeptide chain;
e.g. between residues 26 and 84, between residues 40 and 95, between residues 58 and 110, as well as between residues 65 and 72;
ref. loss of 3-dimensional conformation;
active site; no longer complementary; to sbustrate
liwei uGO AND DIE!! u want our class fund to go bankrupt on the farewell party izzit?? u noe our class fund is in dire straits alr.. and u if u were rly posted to rj and appeal to hc u can stay meh? chey. haha. yuppz we lost the debate in the semis:( but mr tan says that its alr a very great feat that a science class can make it this far.:) heh.and that we've done more than our part for ares..:) and he say our class did MUCH better for crossfire than prevous times!:) *claps claps* --siowyi
I see that there are 66 posts on the blog. My post will be the 67th because 66 and 67 are the buses that I take to school! Yay! I will probably post at the 170th post as well! Haha!
