wooooooooots.

EXAMS ARE OVER BABY!

Chemistry 1 was, well, easy. I didn't come for the JENESYS practice, cause I had Gulintangan practice. Then I went to Miri, just to do a pair of spectacles. Can't send Syaz off. Too bad. The hell, I don't really mind.

So, today. Saturday.

GULINTANGAN FINALS! :O

It was okay, seriously. There were supposed to be 10 teams competing in the finals, but SM Sayyidina Othman pulled out.

ijehn shwigo shipeo

06.11.09

I'm pretty tired right now. Yesterday was a very hot day.

Yesterday was the Teachers' Day Celebration at the ICC. Unlike last year, I wasn't involved. All the students were on holiday, except for the Form 5s and PU1s. The Form 5s had Physics practical in the morning and Geography Paper 2 in the afternoon. The PU1s had Biology practical in the morning and Accounting Paper 1 in the afternoon.

The Biology practical was, in a nutshell, DISTRUBINGLY EASY. Food test, and no calibrating microscope? Alhamdulillah, but I guess either of the next two papers will be hard.

The day before, I had my Statistics paper in the morning and the Chemistry Structured paper in the afternoon. In between those two papers, I didn't study much. I slept for about an hour and a half, trying to ease of the stress that came after doing Stats.

No plans for today.

Tomorrow, I'm going to Badas in the morning for the Tree-Planting, and in the afternoon, I'm going to SM Lambak Kiri for the Contract Signing for me to go to Japan. Where is SM Lambak Kiri, anyway? Is it the former PTE Berakas?

Oh well, as my title says, I want to rest now.

iron (II) sulfate.

Today was the Chemistry Practical.

It was fine, actually. Not many calculations, alhamdulillah.

Question 1: Finding the number of water of crystallisation in hydrated iron (II) sulfate. And titration of FeSO4 against KMnO4. Awesome practical. I hope my volume was in the range.

Question 2: Qualitative Analysis. Finding which solution contains which anion. FA 6 contained chloride, FA 7 contained iodide, and FA 5 contained nitrite. Again, alhamdulillah.

Question 3: Qualitative Analysis. There was ethanol involved, heated with acidified K2Cr2O7. And find the cation which forms white precipitates with HCl and H2SO4. Once again, alhamdulillah. I answered lead (II).


THEN, QUARANTINE. Boooo.
Eat eat eat.
Library, did some Statistics.
Upstairs, went to sleep listening to SuJu songs on Jazmi's iPod in the Counselling Room.
The MA4s were discussing about the Game of the Geeks for the Year 7 End-of-Year activity.
Woke up, went down to the library and took my laptop from Nina. She still has my bracelet.
Went up, read aloud Syaz's Business Studies text. And explained some of the terms.
Jazmi fell asleep while I was reading, cause my voice was "sweet".
Read something we weren't supposed to.

Jazmi was being a bimbo. Surprise, surprise.

6 days to Statistics
6 days to Chemistry Structured
7 days to Biology Practical
12 days to Biology MCQ
19 days to Biology Structured
22 days to Chemistry MCQ.


Good luck for Business Studies tomorrow,
Syazwana Wan Ali
Zahiruddin Hj Yakub
Firdaus Ghani
Azlan Shah
Sofian Bini
and others.

Super Junior

I've been addicted to one of Super Junior's songs. No, it's not Sorry, Sorry or Why I Like You (although these two are great). This song is from the 3rd album of SuJu, Sorry, Sorry. It's called Neorago (the Korean spelling is the title of my post), and translated, it means It's You. It baffles me why I am into this song. I don't think I have a causal link to its story. The music probably just mesmerises me, let alone the dance moves. There are 3 music video versions for this song, the dance version, the drama version and the official music video.

This song wasn't originally included in the 3rd album, but it was a successful hit after its digital release on May 11, 2009. The repackaged album of Sorry, Sorry was released 3 days later, with 3 new tracks. The first promotional performance of It's You was on May 17, 2009 on the SBS music programme, Popular Songs. Wow, the song I like was first performed on my birthday, without my knowledge of it. There was a leak of the videos, but despite that, the song was released and quickly became the #1 song on Cyworld, after only four hours of its release.

Here's the walking part for the drama version, taken from Wikipedia:

The video opens with a scene of a girl returning her ring to Kibum. A loud heart beat sounds when Kibum painfully walks away with the ring in his hand. Kibum passes by Han Geng, who somberly looks down at his phone. He whispers "It's you, it's you, it's only you for me, it's you" in Korean and walks away. Donghae appears behind him and walks down the street, followed by Kyuhyun who walks after him. Kyuhyun walks past a car parked in a street intersection, and Yesung walks out of the street. Leeteuk appears behind Yesung, playing with a necklace. As he walks toward the end of the street, Siwon hesitantly walks toward a phone booth. Ryeowook rushes past him holding a bouquet of flowers. As he smells the flowers, he whips past Kangin who is sitting down at a table angrily reading a letter. Kyuhyun appears again and quickly unbuttons his jacket, checking the time on his watch. He walks by Eunhyuk, who is spraying graffiti on the wall with the words "Only 4 U."

Kang-in walks into a coffee shop and passes by Sungmin who is writing a letter. Shindong walks out of the coffee shop, passing by Ryeowook who has been waiting in front of the shop. Ryeowook angrily throws down his bouquet of flowers, looks at his watch, and walks away. He passes by Han Geng, who is emotionally talking through his phone. Han Geng walks past Yesung and Eunhyuk doing a handshake in an alleyway, and Yesung walks past Sungmin, who is now mailing his letter. Kyuhyun quickly walks past Sungmin and passes by Heechul in the middle of the street, who is sitting on his motorcycle and taking off his helmet. The rest of the Super Junior members appear walking by Heechul, and Siwon is now shouting through the phone. He slams the phone back and hits the phone booth. Donghae angrily walks by and steps back as the camera pans toward the rest of the Super Junior members standing behind Heechul. As Heechul whispers the same words Han Geng whispered in the beginning of the video, Kibum holds his ring to his heart and the rest of the members follow.

Kibum does not have any lines in this song, probably because there are no parts that suit his rapper voice. The best parts to this song (for me) are the ones by Kyuhyun and Yesung (at the end).

Here are the music videos:

1. The Dance Version


2. The Drama Version


3. The Leaked Music Video


4. The Official Music Video




Then here are the lyrics to the song.

The Translated Version

It’s you
It’s you
It’s only you
It’s you

I don’t need anyone else, it’s only you
When you ask again, it’s only you
Even if you already have another love
I can’t forget you, I can’t turn back around 
The moment my eyes began to burn
The moment my heart was captured by you
I have no regret, I chose you
That’s right, it’s you

Chorus :
Oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn’t matter to me
Oh whoever whoever curses me, I’ll only look at you
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

Oh when you tell me you love me
When you tell me thousands and millions of times
Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you

It’s you
I don’t need any words. it’s just you
"It’s too late", but for me it’s just you
I know our love is wrong I can’t give up, I can’t let you go
My lips, cold as can be, are even more blue
I cry out to find to find your warmth
I call, even though I call for you
And there’s no reply, I’ll wait for you

Chorus :
Oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn’t matter to me
Oh whoever whoever curses me, I’ll only look at you
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

Oh when you tell me you love me
When you tell me thousands and millions of times
Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
For me, it’s you, it’s you
Why don’t you know, why don’t you know?
For me, it’s you, it’s you

Oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn’t matter to me
Oh whoever whoever curses me, I’ll only look at you
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

Oh when you tell me you love me
When you tell me thousands and millions of times
Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

It’s you
It’s you
It’s only you
It’s you


Thank you for reading. Sorry for the thick layer of dust.

spur of the moment

It's the last Saturday of the school holidays, I hope. There's this rumour going around Brunei, saying the school term would be extended for another week. And for everyone's sakes, I hope the rumour would stay as it is, a rumour. Not a speck of truth behind it. The reason for the extension is the widespreading (or is it?) of the A Virus H1N1, better known as the Swine Flu. There are a number of cases in Brunei, and I have yet to be updated. I have been in a media blackout, since I don't listen to the radio, let alone the news, and I watch TV as many times as I do my homeworks.

For crying out loud, don't the students of Brunei know that your education is important? I mean, sure education can be found anywhere, but you don't learn stuff at the Mall, from 17 Again or Transformers 2 or whatnot. That's what school is for, and frankly, I don't think half the student population realise that. And as for the Ministry of Education, reconsider your decision. Some of the syllabus of certain levels aren't finished, and you expect us to take the respective exams at the end of the year? Wake up, please.

Okay, ranting over. I want to start over.

Hello, reader(s). Sorry I haven't updated my blog, and frankly, I don't think a lot of people know this link. Yet. Hahaha. If ever I go online on a regular or consistent basis, I shall update and tell people. I don't remember the last time I updated this blog. January, was it? Well, a lot has happened since then. Of which I am not going into everything.

This week has been fun. On Monday, some of the MP/PRSes went out for Sushi at Excapade Gadong, then walked to the Mall (woots) to watch a movie. Hahaha. An outing, at last. We watched Angels and Demons, and it was a disappointment as a whole. Too much editing out. But we enjoyed it. Mainly because some of us weren't concentrating.

Then another outing on Wednesday, where the 3Fs and 3 Hs (Faizan, Faizah, Hazirah, Hanafi, Hafiz and Faruq) went to Empire to watch Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. The movie just went out the previous day, so, yeah. It was fuuuuuuuun! After the movie, nature called. Each one of us went to the toilet to, well, pee. Funny thing, Faizah and I were outside the ladies' room, and we thought we were waiting for Zirah, when 7 minutes before that, she was already outside. Hahaha. What a waste of time. So, we had time to kill, so everyone went into Hafiz's car (he's driving now!) and we went out. We didn't know where we were going until halfway through the journey. And go we went. To Utama Bowling. The alleys were conspiring against us. The scoreboards, too. Not gonna say what.

And those are the highlights of my week. And how are you?

moving in reverse.

I am friggin PISSED OFF, thanks to the family. I've been having nothing but mood swings lately. One moment, I may be frowning; the next, I am laughing hysterically. I don't know the cause of these mood swings. Probably because of that thing that I did Wednesday night.

I am not going to tell you, my readers. Find out yourself. I am not annoyed of the mood swings, because they are MINE. But it annoys other people. Grr.

Wednesday afternoon, Zimah treated to a box of pizza. Yay! Thankies, dear. Tiqah's head was spinning (figuratively), and Amal's shoulder was too far away for her to lie on, so I offered mine. That's just as far as I am going to tell.

Then Thursday. First period was GP. No teacher til Monday. So Daus taught me how to play a nursery rhyme on the guitar. I was supposed to complete my Bio and Maths assignment, but this interests me more. And I was supposed to go to the class adjacent to mine, to finish off the Bio assignment with Zimah, but I avoided it. Go figure.

Bio. Yawn. Maths. No Fuzah, she went to Singapore. So I sat on the side that was dominated by the XY chromosome. Again, avoiding a person. Then, break! Returned the Belalong form to Ck. Fatimah, along with $109. I can't wait.

Then CCA. I was supposed to join Choir Club, but then I found out ada an uber-annoying junior, so I pulled out and registered my name for Gulintangan Club. Sarcastic yaay. There were a lot of 'interested' Form 3's in the Gulintangan Club. We'll see about the extent of their interest. There was one guy that had a keen sense for gendang playing, and one girl that joined the Gulintangan under the Youth Centre. Envy! Oh, also. There was the adik of the person whom I tried to avoid. Ironic, much. Nay, karmic, much.

Then Chem class. Before that, Zimah pestered me about the thing the night before. Malas tah ku kan gitau! Blablabla. I am tired. Atu saja.

I JUST WANT TO SAY I AM TIRED. AND MOODY. SO FUCK OFF.

books and byes.

Today was AWESOME. Okay, that word is overused this time around. Anyway..

Saturday! Ada P.E.! Wheee. I get to wear my P.E. attire, but I would have worn it today regardless of having P.E. Cause karang ada kids' orientation! Yaay. Midgets! Hahahaha.

In 'homeroom', I sat with Heirna, Dijah, Iqbal and Azim. I returned the Doctor Who s4 box set to Heirna. Sekali rupanya ada 1 disc nada. Hahah I found it sudah, esok tah ku balikkan. Oh! Heirna and I are both the facilitators for the group Mercury masa the orientation, with Nisah (form 4). Sekali Heirna told me that our group got half a question wrong, and with 6 ribbons (I think), which is worth 5 points each, puts us in 2nd place! Wooo yeahhh.

Then off to class -- Chem. Kami belajar pasal moles. Avogadro's number. Isotopes. Siuk lah. Enjoyable.

Then 3rd - 5th period: P.E.! Whee. GP classes of PU1C has P.E. every Saturday. Today, just ice-breaking. We put our name, nickname, class, and favourite sport/s (if any) on a piece of paper, then Ck. Masnor shuffles all and distributes it. The person has to introduce who he got on paper in front of everyone. Creative, I like.

BREAK! Zimah minta ajar completing the square. Payah jua mengajar ani ah. Iatah kan jadi teacher ni, Faizan? I hope not. Something in medicine, please. Blablabla.

Biology. Still with the eyepiece graticule and the stage micrometer, scaling the former to the latter according to magnifications x4, x10 and x40. I signed up for the Belalong trip, but I didn't tell my parents.

Next! Maths, pure. We got booooks! Whee. Barat pulang. Then Fuzah and I cerita cerita. Kilah texted me, asking me to wait for her at the canteen, then we go to Audi together.

And I did. My bag baraaat. Hahaha. I wore my 'I LOVE PORN' badge halfway to the Audi. Too explicit for the kids to see. Then sembahyang. Siring si Syazni lagi. Hahaha. That dude is cracked.

Then back to the Audi. Oh, the programme was to have the closing ceremony before 3.30, so that the kids can get their books after. Sekali tukar. The closing ceremony pukul 4-ish. At the Audi, the kids got a talk by the Library staff. During that, Emah, Raihan, Heirna and I wrote 'I love *insert name' on a pink heart-shaped Post-It. I had 'I love Kaka Emah' and 'I love Kaka Tiqah' at first, then I added 'I love Kaka Sasni' (hahahaha). I put them at them at the back of my nametag.

We were put in our groups, then two groups were punished for not singing the school song loudly enough. Sekali kana suruh buat the Banana Dance! I like! It goes:
'All bananas unite!
Peel, banana! Peel, peel, banana!
Shake, banana! Shake, shake, banana!
Chop, banana! Chop, chop, banana!
Fry, banana! Fry, fry, banana!
Nah! Goreng pisaaang!!'
That was fun. I stood next to my fellow bananas, Tiqah and Syazni. Hahahah panaaat.

Then we played the Shooting Game! Whee. It's kinda like Tag, You're It!, tapi much funner. Say my group wants to 'shoot' Supernova, so we say 'Mercury! Mercury! Mercury!' while pointing to our group, then point to and say 'Supernova!'. You have to be quick and everyone must point. In the end, Aurora and Mercury were co-champs. Wheee. Aurora kan? Si Danial Aizat punya group wah. Hahaha.

Next game is Chinese Whisper. Groups form a line, and the person at the back is given a sentence to memorise, then whisper that sentence to the person in front of him/her, and so forth. The sentence was 'There is no housing shortage in Lincoln - just a rumour that is put about by people who have nowhere to live'. My group okay. Hee. Shar's group wrote 'There is no use for shark teeth in Lincoln..' hahahaha.

Then, break. Sembahyang. Ck. Mahmud nada, so dorang suruh aku jadi Imam. Uhhh, bah. Oh, everyone was given a piece of paper to write down ANYTHING we like about anything related to MS, the orientation or ...I don't think my group ada buat. Kali.. Then after sembahyang, the closing ceremony. By this time, kaki ku NGALIH. Hahah. National Anthem, School Song, Principal's speech in MIB (Melayu Inggeris Bercampur). Then Mirza's speech on behalf of the rest, then Azizil reciting the Ikrar Penuntut. Hahah. Nyaman si Jazmi ketawa, atas stage lagi tu. Panat.

Then the results of the groups! Third place -- Asteroids! (kan?) Halawati's group. Awethumm. They got around 98 points.
Second place -- Mercury! Wheee. With 107.5 points! The numbers don't lie. Congrats, my kids.
First place -- Jupiter! Chien Yee's group. Congrats.
Hahah, kami top 3, Kilah! Your Supernova girls can't beat my Mercury clan. Lapas the kids took their bags, Heirna and I distributed to our group (yes, Nisah too) Toggi, Daim and Crunchies. Hahaha, your welcome.

Then, facilitators formed a curve on stage, then ALL the kids salam-ed us. Awww. I didn't tear up though. I'm just going to miss the Orientation. :']

That'll be all, folks. See you, ciao.
