Your EQ is 107

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

You Are 16% Nerdy

You are definitely not nerdy - in fact, you probably don't know any nerds. You probably care a little too much about your image. No one will know if you secretly watch Star Trek reruns!

How Nerdy Are You?

Glad.

I got past the challenging term! I really don't know how I managed to. So, to reward myself, I went to watch RIGE's concert 'RAGE XII: Vivace!" just now.

It was generally pleasing to the ears, and I like most of the pieces. However, I don't know why they made it so informal 'cause they were laming around in some of the pieces.

In one of the pieces, someone, named as The Phantom, walked in with a mask on his face and a rose in his mouth. He sat down and pulled up his long pants to knee level, when he was wearing concert attire. He also had with him, coke. =.= Then the other performer was less lame but he had with him, milo. They were laming around on the stage, and untuned their guitars, for fun, then tuned it back. It was quite funny, but it's lame. LOL.

Then, there was this Rock Band item. In order to have this item, they borrowed RICO's Drum Set. But... they were taking turns to sit on the drum. Ya, sit on the drum which has its drum skin facing outwards. Then, they were laming around again. The Phantom was wearing shorts and showing his thighs, on purpose. The whole of his thighs was quite exposed as he was like squatting down and doing all sorts of weird actions. Moreover, the whole Rock Band item was so noisy and it dragged on for quite long.

If the Rock Band item was removed, the whole concert would be quite a good one to me lah, 'cause they played nice Chinese songs 城里的月光, 童话 and 菊花台.



Sad. Maths CCT today.

I was supposed to find the length of the shadow of this tree. Yes, I found it. It's 28.7m.

But I put wrong units. I didn't put m. Guess what I wrote instead?

You guess cm? Nah!
You think it's mm? No. =.=
You believe I wrote km? Nope, I ain't a noob.
picometre, nanometre, micrometre? Nah, nah, nah. =.=

I drew a nice little circle!!! 28.7°! Wow! The shadow of the tree is 28.7°! I ain't a noob man! I'm a pro! Hahahahahahahaazzz~ -.-



Went out with mum today. Had some interesting encounters.

Mum was buying some ladies' undergarments. I was waiting outside for her (like duh). There was a CD shop nearby and some Chinese song was played. There was also a black cat somewhere near me. It was lying down, motionless except for its tail. I was tapping my foot with the tempo of the Chinese song and I realised that the cat's tail was doing the same thing as me. The tail was going up and down, at the same rhythm as my foot. Wah, got music talent sia!

So, I was tapping my foot while waiting for my mum outside the shop. Then, a man stood beside me and faced towards the shop, looking. Weird, my mum was the only customer, so there's nothing wrong with me standing outside and looking towards the shop. But why was the man doing the same thing as me? Was he waiting for the shopowner? Or was he admiring the bras? Hmmmmm...

So, I got impatient... I looked around, then I saw an advertisement. A picture of Katsudon with miso and 2 pieces of orange, a $2.90 set meal. Cheap, but that wasn't the focus. I looked at the name of the shop and was thinking about it. It was 相撲の家, or, Sumo House. Nothing wrong, 'cause Sumo indicates to you how one will become as fat as a Sumo after eating at Sumo House. However, if you don't know English, the Chinese characters would make you wonder, 'cause 相撲 only means Sumo Wrestling, while 'Sumo' could mean the action (i.e. Sumo Wrestling) or the participant of Sumo Wrestling. What has Sumo Wrestling gotta do with a Japanese eating house?

After that, I saw a haircut shop. The name of the shop is 剪の店. Oh please, there is no such Kanji as 剪. The Japanese of 'cut' is 切る. So it should be 切の店? Haha, I wonder what would people think if you really put that as your shop name, 'cause 切 means slicing in Chinese, like in 'slicing meat'... Sianz, nowadays, I keep seeing Chinese brand names or shop names using の as 's or 的. It's totally wrong lorrr... For example, I saw this 優良の品. For goodness sake, since 優良 is an adjective, the linking character should be な instead of の.

At NTUC, I saw some oranges. It's labelled as 新鮮やさい. It means fresh vegetables. Nothing wrong? Nah. Since 新鮮 is an adjective, な should be there to link, so it should be 新鮮なやさい instead! By the way, the kanji of やさい is 野菜 which means vegetables in Japanese, but it means wild vegetables in Chinese. No wonder, やさい is used instead... if not people would think the vegetables are wild. =.=

Was damn pissed off last night when it was announced that Shawn is the male champion. Was even more pissed off when the overall champion was announced. It's Shawn again. =.=

Shawn was so lousy last night. He forgot the lyrics during the first part of the show. He was also criticised by the judges about his rhythm. Although I'm usually bad at rhythms, I could also tell that he screwed up. Thus at the end he got 34.5/50 while Benjamin, his opponent, got 40/50. Shawn got a 3.2 while Benjamin got a 4.0. However, I don't know why there are so many dumb audience who kept on voting for Shawn which enabled him to beat Benjamin and became the male champion. This is so unfair lor. Why did the audiences' votes take up 70%?

However, I was quite glad that Keely is the female champion. She got a 37.5 while Zhengning got a 35. As for the other 70%, Keely was also leading. Therefore, it's quite convincing for her to be crowned the female champion... unlike that Shawn.

When only Shawn and Keely were left on the stage, Shawn continued to sing lousily... He was supposed to sing a duet with CSS1's female champion Teresa. The song was 今天你要嫁给我, meaning "Wanna marry me today?". Like OMG, if you did watch that particular performance last night, you will be Rolling On Floor Laughing My Ass Off, a.k.a ROFLMAO. It seemed like 姐弟恋 (Romance between an older woman and a younger man), due to the height disparity. Teresa was so much taller than Shawn. Not only so, Shawn was criticised badly by the judges...

Aiya, Keely sang her love song with CSS1 Male champion Zhiyang much better than that Shawn but... Shawn still got the overall champion title. Sianz. Sadded.

Compare Keely's with Shawn's...






In the 4.5 hours when I was away at RJC for CO practice, I met quite a number of...

愚かで面白い人 (愚か means silly while 面白い means interesting.)

1. Someone covered a displacement of 1.2km but a distance of 1.8km to return home instead of taking bus.


2. Someone thought that the new song is easy because he plays the double bass (as double bass' parts are always simpler compared to the other instruments'), but somehow got suaned by his senior at the end 'cause the simpler it is the harder it is to play it well.


3. Someone owes someone else 20 cents but he paid a 25% interest (i.e. 5 cents).


4. Someone forgot that Parent-Teacher's Meeting was this morning and hence his parents did not attend.


5. Someone, whom you should never do a prank on, got slammed by the door because of a prank played by someone else.


6. The prankster got beaten up in the end.


7. Sometwo got shocked by two 'clinks' made by a van which passed by, thinking that they were gonna get hit.

Today was relatively quite an easy day. Hmmmm...

My dearest CLE teacher Mrs Jacq Chua talked about teen pregnancy today. I relearned that condoms are useful to a certain extent; there will still be a 2-3% chance that 'one tiny little sucker' (quoted from Mrs Chua) will find its way through. However, if we use two condoms, there would be extra protection nah, the two condoms will cause friction and wear each other out.

I also reunderstood that you can get a 8-year-old girl pregnant if her menstruation period has arrived. That's so damn cool! If a girl has a child at age 8 then her child also does the same thing, and if it continues... "I am K1, my mum is Sec 1, my grandmum has just finished university, my great-grandmum is reaching her thirties and my great-great-grandmum is as old as your mother..."

After CLE, we took 4 photos with Brendan (2 with Mrs Chua and 2 with the teacher-in-charge of the exchange programme cum Philosophy teacher Mr Au), the exchange student from Australia who has stayed with us for 4 to 5 weeks. Brendan is gonna leave on Sunday. Awww, so sad, although I didn't talk to him at all.

So during Philo, it was dialogue session and it was a slack period for me 'cause I've done mine last week. We wrote farewell notes for Brendan on a RI PE T-shirt. Yee Siang and I managed to write "Bye" and "Thanks" in 8 languages on the shirt, thanks to my handy-dandy electronic dictionary.

My electronic dictionary is very cool! It has Jap-Chi and Chi-Jap dictionaries, plus a Eng-Chi-Jap-Kor, Chi-Eng-Jap-Kor, Jap-Eng-Chi-Kor and Kor-Eng-Chi-Jap dictionaries. Besides that, you can draw stuff in 'Paintbrush', learn 10 different languages in 'Travel Dialogue' etc etc.

PE was even slackier. 'Cause it was raining, we got to have some workouts at the Gym. I ran 3 laps of 0.4 km at 10kmph on the running machine...

I got back my Chinese Ying Yong Wen test. I got 17/20. Only a few of us got it back 'cause Cai Laoshi wants us to type out and send the soft copy to her. Lol. But sian, I could have gotten 18 instead if not for my silly mistake. I wrote 素问 instead of 素闻. Just that 1 character has cost me 5% of my marks!



Can you imagine how good a news can be?

I just got the bestest news ever. Our English teacher gave us our debate topics on Monday. The teams who got Topic 1 and 3 have to do their debates on Thursday... which means there are only 3 days for them to prepare. I'm part of the unlucky 16...

So I stayed till 12 am on yesterday... and planned to stay till round the same time today. But good news from Chong Yu. LOL. Mrs Nathan won't be coming to school tomorrow as she is sick. I was like OMG and I invited the opposition team to our MSN convo and broke the bestest news to them.

Wah, I'm so glad!!! There's free period tomorrow. But oh well, I would rather the debate be done this week so I don't have to worry about it for so long...



Time really flies.

A Long Phone Convo Which Did Not Seem Long (at least to me)
I was talking to Tony on phone for quite a while just now. At the end, I was stunned to find out that we talked for half an hour. That should be the first time ever that I talk on the phone for so long.

A Long 30-seconds Wait That Supposedly Is Not Long (at all)
I take bus to school every morning. To reach the bus stop that is across the road, I have to bypass a T-junction. Basically, I have to cross a road, with traffic lights, on the same side of the road in order to be able to get to the other side of the road. That means I have to wait for the green man twice.

So this morning, I was waiting for the first green man, and 30 metres away is my bus which is stuck at a traffic light crossing that is before the bus stop. (The T-junction is after the bus stop, according to my orientation...) Then, both the bus and me started to move at the same time as the traffic light where the bus was turned to green light (or otherwise, red man) and the one where I was turned to green man (or otherwise, red light).

After I crossed, I was clicking the button like mad as the bus was already at the stop and a lot of people were boarding. The second green man has to appear before everyone has boarded the bus, except me! At the end, the green man appeared after everyone has boarded and the bus has left the bus lane... It was just about 30 seconds total!



Sigh, should have done my English Blog entries during the weekend. Now the workload is getting heavy...

Need to chiong SS Assg, and English debates are gonna be on Thu 'cause next week's lessons are gonna be eaten up by Staff Training Day and Teachers' Day celebrations. That's quite unfair 'cause only 4 teams (on 2 notions) will debate on Thu. The rest will do so next Tue. I'm among the unlucky ones. Sianzzzz.

Today I'm quite upset 'cause someone broke my 4-year-old treasure. I pretended to be very angry and I got a letter SMS of apology. LOL... I was also very angry when I had to bring the double bass, which I shared with a big bulky senior, to and fro the RJCO room which were vvvvv far away from our practice room. Today is the most upsetting day.



This is so true. I'm very good in art and design! Look at my piink design! It's good right? I did the coding for this blog all on my own! Me good at computer programming, right?

I know I have a lot of things to do since I slept in early last night and woke up at about 8am this morning. However, I don't know why I tend to procrastinate, although my dear CLE teacher (Mrs Jacq Chua) has taught us not to procrastinate, and how not to. I procrastinated yesterday by doing up my blog. Now I'm still not doing any proper school work.

I have to do my English blog entries, my SS Assg and 2-week overdue Geog Essay Practice. I got 2.8 for Geog already, and yet I haven't done the Geog Essay which is supposed to be a good practice on longer essay writing and also for the teacher to gauge my standard (which isn't quite high). Ar, I feel guilty.

Anyway, since I wasn't doing anything serious, I did something else...

How Nerdy Are You?

After almost 8 months, I've finally decided to resurrect my blog! Long long ago, I used LiveJournal. Then I changed to Beeplog.com (which is kind of obscure...). By late Dec, there was something seriously wrong with my blog @ Beeplog and I could not be bothered to do anything to it. Besides, life has been quite boring then so there wasn't any point for me to blog.

However, Sec 3 life has seemed to be much more exciting. There were a couple of times when I wanted to record down what have happened but sigh, I've got nowhere to do so. Since I have become lamer as compared to last year, I've decided to waste my precious time to do up a nice pink blog~ Hah, so please enjoy my masterpiece. Rofl.
~~~
I feel very sad. I got 3.56 for Aug's Progress Report. It's all 'cause I screwed up my Geog and Chem CCT which caused me to get 2.8 (which is in fact, a 64) for both subjects! Although it's a 3.56 (a big drop from my 3.89 last year...), I'm just glad that I didn't get lower than the dude who sits beside me. Yee Siang and I tried to calculate our GPA by adding all the GPs up and then divide by 8. LOL. We did not get the GPA that is shown on the report.

YS and I were like so nooby lah. Maths is of double weightage and I only remembered when Tony told me during CO dazu today. Talking about dazu, I think the bass (excluding cello) section is always very noisy during dazu. Tsk. LOL. We played the 感怀, Can you feel the love tonight? and Schindler's List. The first 2 songs require us to pluck all the way. Thumbs up! The third song had both bowing and plucking but it was still very nice! All 3 songs were quite simple, so we were very slacky... LOL.
