Fun...

WELL the past 2 days have been relatively fun. went to the parliament house yesterday, on an excursion. well, i wont say it was boring; finding out about how parliament is run is quite fun, even if singapore politics is boring, and considering the fact that i don't fancy becoming a politician, i suppose it was ok. the highlight, if u believe it, was walking into parliament chambers. i mean, even though we were only allowed into the strangers' gallery, it was still cool.i must say though, parliament chamber design and architecture is a tad too boring. the parliament house however, is rather handsomely decorated. i think the Speaker and Serjeant-at-Arms (yes its spelled that way) are the coolest positions. as speaker, u hv supreme authority over everyone in the chamber. as serjeant-at-arms, u hv authority to forcefully remove or arrest without warrant and throw into jail any miscreants. ah. such power. anyway.

On thursday, went to the marina barrage. not much to see. half the place was still under construction. =.= ill come back when thers actually something to see. whatever it is, i had so much fun today. i mean, just now. was making ondeh ondeh, which if u dun noe wat it is, shame on u. its a kueh. lol. yeah yeah ok, i cook. jeez, go boil ur heads ok. anyway, here are some pics.

my ondeh ondeh :D

GCE Ordinary Levels...

WELL at least my first experience at taking an O-level paper wasn't an absolutely mortifying and daunting one. for one, i actually managed not to feel dumb during the paper. if you're wondering what subject it is, it's SEC4 Express Malay, which I just took today, the written paper, i mean. the listening compre and oral was done ages ago. I just hope that some good comes of all this nonsense. but really, it was a lot more doable than my other practice papers, and not to sound arrogant or boastful, but i think i did reasonably OK for the paper. considering also that its a malay paper. lol. i think i managed to crap my way through the expository essay, as well as the formal letter. i was nearly out of time. then, when i wrote my formal letter, just after writing the sender's and recipient's addresses, and the RE: thingy, my pen started fading, and i was like, shit, it better not die on me. so i switched to my other pen, which thankfully, lasted through both essays, as well as the paper 2, thank god.

On the other hand, i was able to do the paper 2 with relative comfort. i was amazed at the simpleness of the imbuhan, managed to see through the cloak of lies and deception the peribahasa threw at me, understood all the bina ayats, and actually comprehend the prosedur cloze. FOR ONCE. lol. i managed the comprehensions well enough i think, and vocab, well, ok la. but i guess, yeah it's only the express malay paper, and that my papers next year are gonna be exponentially more difficult. sigh. but never mind, i shall not be daunted. my future is at stake. lol. well, anyway, to celebrate, went out just now. went to watch quantum of solace. thnk god it was only $6, what a waste of 1.5 hrs and $6. apart from the mindless shooting and action scenes, ther was nothing else. then went to walk about orchard, ending up at ct hall, then i went home. and thats abt it. i shd be sleeping soon, considering the fact that i have SYF training tmr at 0745. sigh. nvm. it'll be fun. so for now, adieu.
