exaM cumin lo - 9/28/2003
yah loz.. exam so near onli a wk... .hm.. me doin course work... wanted to tok abt practical... but hor... overdate....loz,...:( haiz.....
some discussion abt the practical....
Practical Exam (Execution)
The practical exam was quite smooth for me, but my teacher pointed out a lot of weak points. I was hasty, and I was rushing all the time as I knew that there isn’t much time for me to finish the two courses. My selection of foods seemed to be of higher order level and they need more time. When I did things, I tended to be messy, which was pointed out by her. I feel that there are a lot of principles to be learnt
*The most important lesson I must learn is to believe in myself, and not easily mislead by others. During the execution, when I was spreading the egg white on the cake, my teacher asked me if I needed to flatten the egg white. I was in a fluster. My mind was just whirling furiously, and I thought that it would better if I believed her, and began pressing the egg white. It was a dreadful error, as the egg white did not come out as what I wanted. The egg white should have rose more, making it look very nice and fluffy. As a result, the egg white looked flattened. The next error is also the time for the egg white to the baked. The time should be only 8 minutes, but I assumed that it was 10 minutes. The result was that the egg white looked slightly burnt.
*Presentation is much, much more important than taste. How marks are awarded is based on manipulation and presentation. The food is not tasted at all. Some of what I knew, their food looked very nice, but with regards to taste, some said it is not fit for human consumption. I need to therefore try to upgrade my standard of garnishing. It then can fulfil the idea of food being interesting and appealing. My pasta chicken looked dry, as it was baked, which is actually a sign that it doesn’t looks very nice. I could have improved it by preparing some sauce before serving. My garnishing for the orange meringue, which is the strawberries, was not nicely cut and the slightly burnt meringue was pointed out by her too. I therefore need to train my cutting skills.
*Don’t be over overconfident and choose too many foods that are of higher level order. As this time, I chose too many foods that need a lot of time to complete. As a result, I finished it on the dot, exactly 2 hours. If I chose another food that was easier, I would not have rushed so much.
It looks like I needed more practice for the foods that I chose, to increase my speed and familiarise it. Although in my practices, I modified a lot of steps and measurements, it is still not sufficient at all. In overall, I am not satisfied of my performance during the execution, and hope to improve as much as possible.
haiz.. veri sad.. sure fail practical lioaz haiz.....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
nvm larz..nv get to taste it lehz...at least yr theory did ok can le bahz...take care...me Lilia...

Review of myselF - 10/16/2003
After reading so mani pplez diaries... i realised that my frendship circle is veri small loz.... feel very sad... i dun hav frenz that frequently go out to places like orchard..somewhere far.... the place futhurest is jP/west mall loz... perhaps i feel tt i have too little "better" frenz bah...
i notice tt my frenz are mostly the casual 1s.. veri little ones that reach the closer standard ...which is quite sad loz.... i brain-stormed some factors the lead me to this state....
1. Am i too nerdy? maybe. People tt call me mostly tok abt sch work as a scene protrayed to people... pplez think i everydae burry myself with books everyday.. and always study study study... but the truth of me is i'm not as hardworking as u guys think....
2. i dun let pplez copy my work... causing pplez to dislike me.... yes tts my prob. i believe in the firm stand 2 do hw urselves... not copy out of laziness....i feel tt hw shld be done by ourselves.... the onli exception that** the person realli dun noe how 2 do... or no time le....
3. Am i unfriendly? i may be a little cold 2 pplez sumtimes... but i onli treat pplez like tt when i'm not familar with tt person @ all....
4. Am i too homely? I admit i'm homely.. but it seems that no 1 asks me to go out! i'm always alone when i go to lib (wesmall) Then sean iz always @ his grand ma/relative hse on weekends... if i could go out more often... it would be nice
5. Do i 've shortage of money? when goin out i notice it could mean more money.. looks lik i dun hav the capital to spend bah....
i dunnoe wat 2 sae ah.. if ani1 has comments pls sae... my frenz are good ones... tt most i'm happy abt.. but the time where bonding occur is mostly@ sch... i veriveri selddom go out juz to gaigai.... but usu of proj... like the ones done with cT... sean... haiz.. dunnoe wad 2 sae... i'm not satisfied with my friendship circle.. if one could tell me what lies with me.. do tell...:)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
mouldy... hmmmz - 10/17/2003

reasons y shldnt like yx - 10/16/2003
i realised tt i shld NOT harbour likins for yx or maybe i'm not up to it... i tink i shall STOP harassing her... or show the signs of likin her....
REASONS
1. She does not like me (what for waste my time like this?)
2.I do not possese her interests (i dun even noe what things she likes)
2. I do not match her==> better suitors (other pplez like alvin--gd frenz would b better)
3. I do not understand her (yes, i don't know what she's thinking)
4. Its high time to concentrate more on studies (yes... horrible emaths make me feel sick)
5. She doesn't want to be a normal friend also
6. My liking for her may seen as an harassment (yes... i feel tt too)
therefore.. i tink i shouldn't chase after her le... yes.... let us juz lead our own lives bah....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
oh lala :) + :( - 10/23/2003
hmmmm.. in fact this was supposed to be finished in sch de.. tt time.. i was in compz lab 4 typin it.. but becos i do other stuff n lack of time... then i nv finish the entry loz.. hahaz.. ok.. this was what happened 2dae...
"Soccer Areana"
haha.. 2dae ycc acad grp brought their ball n play it loz.. then when i reached sch.. seannis asked me to help him to keep it. Okay, pplez whu saw me were very surprised that i was carrying tt ball :), then weijie keep saying that he wanna play it loz. I allowed him to play the ball, but... haiyo... in the end i found out he was playing it in the toilet.. hehe... then the soccer game was held in the classroom. Lifeng, yongxun, avan, stan, sherwin all got play play here n there loz.. since there was no teacher loz. :) :) But it was fun seeing them play loz.. but sum kicked pretty hard. The ball hit Mingqi (apologies) twice loz, then also hit the notice board a few times, but overall, it was fun. Then the tables were pushed aside, becumin the soccer areana in clazroom loz... hehe
"Compz Lab 4"
wowie, 2dae iz my 1st visit to compz lab 4. This iz real, as i always go to labs 1 and 2 onli (3rd floor) while for lab 3 n 4 (4th floor) i got no idea loz, since ms siti always book labs 1 n 2. Hahaz.. the printer in lab 4 iz BRAND new, very surprising leh.. and the design is so stylo loz.. wan 2 bring it home...haha. at least 1/3 of my class was playin counterstrike(CS) loz.. then they on the sound sooooooooo loud! Especially the time when they shoot, extremely noisy! :( Haiyo... not happy ah, mrs lim close an eye loz., nv bother the noise lvl @ all. I attempt to listen radio.. but not tt goody ah.. so noisy. Ha! i go n listen mp3... which was significantly louder. I listened to Black eyed peas-- where iz the love. It was sooo nice! :) Then try to listen linkin park-- faint. I tried to find meteora album-- numb by linkin park, but tt webbie slowbies, then i not happy ah, listen 2 faint loz.. but times passes soo faz.. it was 1.30 le, time to go home :) hahaz... have to stop. My diary type little little onli , veri sad, so i type now loz...hehe
"Tree Planting thingy"
When i reached 2nd floor, suddenly, i saw ying xin (interact clubber), she said tt mrs thuraisingam wanna see me. I thought what she wanted loz, n hope its not bad luck. I met her and found out tt i was selected to represent huayi to plant a tree at pulau semakau, to show that huayi is veri aware of the environment and to show that huayi cares for the environment. Mrs Kwok ( last time music tr) iz going along with me :) It feels really good to represent the school, but the most problematic thing is the date. When mrs thuraisingam told me that it was held on 5 Dec, i tot it was ok. But to my horror, i realised that 5 dec iz one of the days of supplementary lessons after i reached home. I feel that it is a very good opportunity, but i'm afraid to miss lessons, esp emaths loz.. since i failed the subj 4 this yr. :( After consulting my parents, they more a less agree lahz, but not too happy loz.. i very worried loz.. haiz, shld i go? It iz a golden opportunity, but i realli cant afford to miss lessons :S
"Snooze n Bad Newz"
I had a very good sleep in the late afternoon :) When i woke up, holland v nearly finished le, then i eat my dinner loz. I sms ms foo, then she quite good lahz, tell me it iz possible, but i told her i afraid to miss lessons, she told me she'll help me check what lessons i'll miss. Nice to sms pplez. :)
But the bad news iz that my parents wan me to have tuition. Yes it is BAD news. Y? i hate to have tuition loz.. tuition sure will have hw, addin burden to my original amt. furthurmore, my mum wan me to go back to ah leow's tuition, which was @ peace centre, very far away, and i went thru this durin psle, n i dun like it @ all loz...

haiyo... today was quite ok lah, but most unhappy is i'm feelin old and dangly! My throat iz burning and i had a running nose :(
I wasnt happy when i reached sch loz.. saw dausly and he ignored me :( Then i found out tt assembly today at hall loz... no wonder 2dae quadrangle so empty lah.... Hah.. found seannis with his usu group... :)
Later was norm.. untill later.. mdm wang brought us to the ava room loz.. watch the movie meteor rain ---main actor leslie cheung (guy whu died not long ago :(:( )
But the movie was veri touching loz.. It's abt a boy being left behind to a rich business man, the mother jus put the baby there n run away.
Since then, the woman had a veri bad fear of children... since she threw a baby behind... the busineessman iwas tokin abt was leslie loz... when he took care of the boy, he quited his job n began workin odd jobs while takin care of him.
When the boy was four, one day, the boy saw his mum on TV... and yet, he could recognise him! (wowie) Then later, while playin, the boy met the mother. Of coz... the mother could not recognise him loh but treated him veri nicely. Surprisingly, she wasnt afraid of him compared to other children (she'd start cryin for no reason and yell when she c children)
After tt.. the story goes on to find out tt leslie does not realli hav the financial ability to take care of the child... (leslie take cares of him as if own child)... When the welfare pplez knew tt leslie wasnt the official GUARDIAN for the child, attempts were made to arrest him as kidnapping (so sad) He had to run here n there to get help(so sad again :( )
Luckily, the real mother, in shanghai realised sumthin was wrong when leslie called her. She rushed bac then accidentally looked @ the child's birth cert. She found tt the boy is HER SON!!! She was so happy tt she rejoiced. But tt would mean sad news to leslie. He spent fOUR year takin care of him, and now he has to giv bac to the original mother loz... haiz..... the story ended with the child given back to the real mother loz... the mother actually loves the child A LOT. It was a MISTAKE as tt time, the mother was very very poor, so she tot she cant take care of the baby. But now, she iz so rich le, of coz can take care loz. THe scene when the child depart frm leslie was a veri sad 1, moving 1 to tears ..sobx sobx.... the show iz simply so TOUCHING!
We missed poa, juz to watch finish the movie.... so nice! :):) haiz..... so goody... we went back claz.. orhx orhx.... n play cards like UNO...:):):)
cant forget the movie..... leslie n the 4-year old boy loved to look at the stars===>reason for the name of the movie....*________*
Later, we had orchid hybridization.. dotx.. very fun.. juz take the male part of the flower and put it into the female part of the flower.. so fun!!! I broght some orchids home loz...lalalla
Found out that meng how lost! wad a relief! He got 10th this yr... compared to eoy... his position differ. bENJAMIN veri scary worx... got 4th--lvl/claz ---VERIVERI GOOD!!!!!!!! he mid yr 5th...

BrOther BeAr.... - 12/19/2003
Hmmmmmmmmm... Yesterday went to
I went with my mum to Yuki and Yaki-- Japanese steamboat n terpanyaki...then had fried ice cream. The steam boat veri interesting loz... becos the raw foods are on the conveyor belt then move pretty faz... lol... then can grill stuff... veri veri fun....there's also some cooked food, i.e. fried tofu, chicken.... yumyum
The ice cream was a nice surprise loz... becos, when it first came... it was nice n watery, no matter how we "fry" it; it was as watery as ever. However, after a while, I realised that the ice cream was thickening! :) then we began our frying ice cream session....:D veri fun loz.... its like veri sticky, then it tasted goody... wish could eat 1 more time.....mmMMMmmmmmmmmMMmMmmmm ha-ha (over desc. bahx)
Later, we went to watch Brother bear, lol left 1 show onli, I guess the show ending bahx, perhaps no more showing of this sooner or later.....
The show was very touching loz, esp. this show obviously has the theme there==> we do not understand animals, neither do animals understand us.
It talks abt 3 good bros leading their life in the "junglely" area and they had a good time. One was the eldest, and was the person who guided the other brothers. Both brothers were very playful. One day, the brother was deemed as going to be grown up and was given a bear "pendant" --a carved pic. of a bear. The wise woman in the village to him that love is the thing that he needs esp. bears. Sadly, the person offended a bear happened to be the mother of a young bear. He threw a stone at her. The mother bear was veri furious and looked like she wanted to kill him. The Eldest brother came to their help, but he gave his life away. As the bear walked towards the brother, the eldest used his spear to poke against the iceberg. The force used was so great that the icebergs all broke and the eldest, with the bear fell into the sea. The mother bear survived, but the brother did not. The two brothers grieved over his death and the person who got the bear chain pledged to kill the bear.
The person hunted high and low to find the mother bear and finally killed her. Suddenly, something magical happened. The sky became dark and rained very heavily, and onli rain and thundered on that certain spot. Then, the sky became very fiery and like as if there is a fire, and images of the spirits appeared. The bear that was killed vanished in the air, but the person who killed the bear was changed into a
The person became a bear, and realised that the humans couldnt understand "bear" language. however, he could understand wat the animals are talking, i.e. the elephants, birds, and deers. It was very weird loz, but thats the truth. He met a small bear, which was actually the son of the mother bear that he killed. At first, he was very hostile to the small bear, but as time went, they were very close.
The brother that wan not killed thought that the bear killed his brother-- which was not true. He hunted high and low to find the mistaken mother bear (actually dead). A lot of attempts were made by the brother to kill that bear (his bro) when he wanted to seek revenge. However, it was unsuccessful. That brother that turned into a bear felt very sad and realised how evil humans are when they hunt for them.
It was until the "bro bear" was changed back to the original self, then the brother that wanted to seek revenge recogised that the bear he wanted to kill was actually his bro. By that time, the feelings between the brother bear and small bear were very deep. the bear and the small bear were like brothers. Therefore, when he changed back to human, he told his eldest bro that he wanted to take care of small bear. He was then revert back to bear again-- could take care of small bear again.
This show let me thought very deeply. Many of us fear of tigers, and pledged to kill them. However, does ani1 realised tat the tigers do not intend to kill us, until we provoked them? This also applies to sharks. Haiz, y the world is like tat? We onli think of ourselves, but nv others. Onli those that are in that person's shoes, then will noe how hard it is.
This movie is very educational loz, and also very touching, The music in between iz very nice, very touching........ veri nice wor, muz watch, it highlights this major prob in us, --uncaring

ahhhh fried ice cream.
was it good?

So, we go there loz :) then go there n walk walk. We first went to that shop, and there were a lot of model airplanes. There was a sale going on loz... Many were half priced. Some had 30% off, sooo good wor! daus bought a plane loz.. then it was half priced! wowie.... frm $14 becum $7 wor ! :) The shop was at parklane loz.. the got CD shop selling softwares n games.

...LiB tRaIniNg - 12/23/2003
Hmm… 2dae’s lib training was veri fun loz…. It’s the first time that mrl leaders organize such stuff…. veri veri great wor! Our chairperson and vice chairperson yinboon n Sharon planned all these. It started frm 9am and ended at
Firstly, we did ice breaking which is most similar to camps i.e. seating in a circle, then each one remem each other’s name, followed by another. This training is geared for leaders loz, we were going to choose 2 potential leaders to take over us… next yr sec 4 le mah, then sec 4 so short, cannot hold positions de. When June comes, ccas for sec 4 is stopped le… veri scary hor... Haiz….
Next, we did presentation on speaking skills, ycc n
After the presentation, they were asked in groups to produce presentations with regards to mrl. Waha, I used the counter’s computer n play music, -- veri fun! Then it was tea break
Ok, we had tea break at needlework room. Then the food not bad loz—peanut pancake, sardine rolls wrapped as a sweet, and walnut cake. The beverage is milk tea… sounds quite nice hor? Haha…the stuff all made by Mrs. Violet lee loz….surprisingly; maj loh came also to eat the stuff
Next, it was presentation le, and then yinboon n
Later, we announced the winners n got on with the next activity—scenario madness. We told them abt the probs in the life outside n how to solve it. Possible problems could happened, n how the reaction should be. Envelopes were given to them to let them analyze the scenario n let them act it out…hmmm…by tat time, it was lunchtime, the acting was after lunch loz….
Lunch was great leh…. I’m not bluffing… sooo great! There were you tiao stuffed with otah, nuggets with sweet sour sauce on top, fried cabbage with black fungus, curry chicken. Then dessert was tau suan with you tiao, n drink was fruit punch… mmmmmmMmmmmM….. Haha… great food 4 great health. Mrs. Kong n maj loh also joined us for lunch
to be continued....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
liB trAiNiNg...2 - 12/23/2003
We had had the scenario act out n I found tat their solution were usually the librarian asking the person not to do the bad act. I thought, would it really help? Not all of us are so goody. Who would bother when one does not reason out? Jus telling the person is no use. There is a need for a reason to solve probs. That’s y I told them. Hmm.. Then yinboon n
Hmmm we began telling them the importance of book display n y there is a need 4 it. The things discussed were similar to the Queenstown’s workshop. Then we also do one book display also to compete with them at the same time pass our time…then, it as the second break again…
Haha, this last break’s food tasted the best! It included vadai(modified with prawn), kueh lapis, n kueh kosui. The beverage was teak with milk again…but the kueh lapis n vadai was really soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice! Haiyo… I nv expect that Mrs.. lee could cook so nice type of food, with the help of her students. The food is not catered, but it tasted like one! Hahaz… hua yi’s food is really not bad lozzz
haha… soon, it was judging again. We determined which grp was better. Then, the average of the presentation n this book display determines the winner. The first n second prices were given to the ones that scored the higher marks. Mrs. Wong gave out the prices. Too bad, ms dalina n Mrs. pan wasn’t around when the prizes were given. Both had stuff to do, then left earlier loz… we made our final conclusions n the training ended. Wait! I haven’t tell abt the 2 potential leaders. It was nasharudin (sec 2) n siti (sec 2) chosen by us. Hope that they won’t disappoint us loz…
hmm this training was veri successful loz… it was well planned… all thks to the two leaders… n I guess it was enriching to the peepz that was in this training
btw.. 2dae also sec 1 registration… then veri crowded, reminds me 3 yrs ago, goin to this sch in my pri sch uniform…. Hahaz. 2dae veri tiring loz.. becos after this thingy , I rushed to peace centre( doby ghaut ) 4 my tuition. It starts frm

:) sCi ctr :) I & II - 12/24/2003
…todae went to science centre again……some might ask y?? On 19 December, I also went science centre, but it was not reported…lol, basically, it is all about making planes… daus knew abt the 100 years of flying thingy… At the sci ctr, we went to the section near the amphitheatre loz…. Then daus sae wan 2 paint his plane… hmm… then he painted his plane loz... he painted his plane green and the missiles sliver… à veri nice leh! Hahaz... the peepz at science ctr all dye hair de... first look like ah beng... but veri nice people... daus asked them then they sae can paint… he thought muz pay money loz.. becos the course include a plane n teaching cost $10. …
Then this day... daus got cum to science centre… plus sean… sean did a tank while daus painted his planes. The first model airplane he painted was all sliver, and it was quite small but veri nice. Wowie, I found out that he did that small one in 1½ hr! that’s really faz…. Haha….then there was the bigger 1, bought frm Achtung! That cost $7… Daus said the bigger one was veri difficult to assemble. O . :D then he painted that one below shiny blue n the top green. The bluish part could camouflage as a commercial aeroplane and the top is the true side of the plane—an military aircraft…. This bigger plane was veri well done.. . well me proud of daus, could do such stuff so well n achieved his interest target. Sean felt really rotten loz, becos the tank he did ar.. needs skills, n this is the FIRST time he did a plane. With such wonderful results (result quite good lah), I feel happy for him. After that, daus n Sean went home…. While I collect stuff….
Guess wat I collected? HaHA, it’s a Christmas fruitcake…. Mmmmmmm tastes soooo good, ordered from delifrance de… there was a generous amount of nuts, raisins n sultanas… taste veri nice.. recommend every1 to order this cake nxt yr! lol After all, 2dae Christmas eve mah…

library attachment... day 1 n 2... - 3/19/2004
haha... i was involved in atachment @ JWCL... Quite interesting and fun ah....
2.1 Period of attachment (dates)
From 16 March 2004, Tuesday to 17 March 2004, Wednesday
2.2 Departments attached to
Adults’ section, children’s section, Chinese (Non-fiction), English (Non-fiction), customer service
2.3 Work assigned and observed
I was assigned to shelf books at the different sections in the 2 two days at the following stated departments. Shelving books was a headache at children’s section, as the books were very messy, and some books belong to another language was on the same shelf. The others were quite okay, but it was exhausting. We also learnt how to arrange the books nicely before the library opened.
Besides that, there were some a few hours spent on customer service: serving the public. On the 1st day, all of us greeted the public with a smile when the library opened. On both days, I helped those who did not know how to use the library catalogue stations, shortened the customer service queue by providing troubleshooting for customers. Some problems faced by the customers could be solved easily by just leading them to the correct place or assisting them as in checking records, paying fines and topping up the cashcard. I also helped those who do not know how to register as the elibraryhub member, and telling them the current promotions of the advantage of joining as a member now: spinning the wheel to win prizes. Most people were quite grateful for my aid. I also attempted to tell some customers to switch off their handphones as some were ringing, to reduce noise pollution in the library.
Furthermore, a book display was done with Yin Boon, Sharon, Benjamin, and Chee Chuan on the 1st day. This is a step towards bringing people into the library: promotion. The theme was on love: romance. Because the library has shelves for book display, it therefore facilitates in allowing the books to be on the “spotlight.” Some complements were received for this theme. The staff workroom of the library was used to find pictures and love “quotes.” The staffs were quite helpful and we used tools like the laminating machine, paper cutter. I even helped a staff to laminate some of her assignments.
2.4 reactions (feelings / thoughts about work assigned and observed)
I felt that it was a very good working experience, even though I was not paid. I actually know the life of a library staff. I realised that the work done is very similar to (in fact same) as the library duties done in school. “On top of arranging the books in order, shelving is done is also to familiarise the location of books.” That was what Mrs Chan told us. I realised it was quite true. When a customer asks me what type of books is located, I would be able to tell him/her where they are. Shelving, I realised, it is a never-ending chore. It seems that public education is not working, and the customers think, “The librarians will do the job.” I feel that this thinking is wrong, and efforts must be done to stop this misconception.
Customer service gives me a good feeling, as I have helped someone to clear his or her doubts and therefore very enriching. Some customers replied when I greeted them. It gives me some warmth and I felt very great. At least, efforts were not gone to a waste. However, the book display comes off fresh and exciting, as this book display is not going to just be shown in school, but to the public. I feel very proud of it. All of us coordinated quite well, Chee Chuan and I did the searching for books, and the graphic design. Yin Boon, Sharon, and Benjamin did the poster designing, and the positioning of books. It was the first time I was using the laminator and I felt is amazing and fun. We had to use a ‘pouch’ to put our pictures to laminate them. Then, we used the paper cutter to cut them nicely. The love ‘phrases’ were done and also laminated too. We worked very well and were excited to find out that it was quite well done. We were told that all staff must cooperate to get things done. I find it quite true, as one in a company cannot work alone. All must cooperate and coordinate.
3.1 What you have learned about yourself, the various jobs you have observed or in which you have hands-on experience, and working life in general
“Working life is boring. Don’t you all realise that?” Mrs Chan said. She began narrating about other occupation, like a doctor. A doctor will always do the same thing: diagnose a patient, determine an illness, and find ways of remedy. It is not much way that it will change. This process will just keep repeating, until the rest of our lives. In the library, the main jobs are shelving, customer service for the library officers/ attendants. It could the dry bones of life if one (especially a staff) does not think positively. I wholeheartedly agree with her. The job that next time I trample on must be the one of my interest, as it will be a life long commitment.
3.2 Other comments
I was appalled to know about work attachments available only this yearonwards. If when I were in secondary one, two or three, it would be better. Secondary four is a graduating year, and suddenly, time becomes so precious. If the school had previously come out with such plans, I would have already had a taste of working…
