Sigh, still not much progress on hols assignment...Going OBS tmr and my bag has been packed to the brim. I wonder if I can survive this 9 days- the longest camp I've ever had. Anyway, I will be back on the 22nd, Don't miss me :)
Nowadays spending too much time in front of the comp and slacking lah! Hm, I better do something about sch work.
Speaking about scrabble, I spent 2 nights analyzing WSC games with GH. Happened to find out that Adam Logan do think like Quackle and that's probably how he won his games. Congrats to Nigel Richards who won. A commendable performance by Suanne who literally bulldozed her way through to attain the 12th position. Well done Hubert, clinching 7th! I hope some trio will help get the 4th spot for us soon. ..
Quizzes... Test you brain power to see if you can solve all of them, Good luck:)

Getting a bighead nowadays, I think my homework schedule is completely out. Somehow I just cant get myself to sit in front of my table, in front of the pile of homework and start doing! Even so, i have completed the part on Bio and one tutorial of the maths pile. I think I would really need to hurry before the OBS and Scrabble tourneys set in.Yup, went to Yen nee's on Saturday and had a day full of Gin Rummy, various card games and of course Scrabble. Obviously not much talent in Gin Rummy since the jokers seem to shun me and I even fold on the first hand. I think i will just stick to Scrabble for the time being. Many were waiting for Li Wei to arrive but he did not.
Just when we were about to go off, Yen, Ball, Elmo, Gh, Wb and I starting a little discussion on who is going for the upcoming tourneys. Well, thomsons' definitely out for me since i have OBS from 14-22nd NOV. Yen was introducing the deal of joining Yew Tee as a player or as a Tournament director. There are of course certain pros and cons accompanying both choices.
As a player in div A, I can:
1. Practise for Cuzway and WYSC
2. Get a chance of winning $300 shopping vouchers + trophy
3. Get a rating boost to the 1990s (Not really an issue at the moment)
As a TD, I can:
1. Hitch a ride back and fro from Yew Tee
2. Get a help-out fee of $50
3. Scout around for words
4. Stone and relax while others will rack their brains with their racks
5. Free myself from paying $20 as participation fee (I need money for Cuzway reg. dearly!)
Hm, it seems to me that the TD devil is winning the angel. But somehow I cant decide.

I always feel this murderous intent left behind by those who thirst for this guy sitting in front of computer and telling the world about my life.Well, i have not been updating my blog and that's pretty true as you can see from the date of the last entry. I've got a feeling that if i do not do something, some people are so going to kill me.
Ok, ever since i've stop blogging for a while, many things happened and they are exams, exams and exams!!! But now they are finally OVER!!! Isn't that great news?
This week marks the last for my exams for this year and the last few are Chinese and Project Work. Ok lah, Chinese wasn't that bad but it's going to be sad as that is probably the last time i am sitting for a Chinese Paper. For Project work, nothing's really a big deal since i have done something quite real live already. I hope i did conceal my nervousness under that mask during the presentation. I could feel my heart jumping up to my mouth. Anyway, that's done. YAY!!!
And right here i have quite a bit of homework. Hm, what do i have???
1. Maths- 4 tutorials: P&C, Maclaurin's series, appl of diff, system of linear eqns
- 3 promos paper:CJC, IJC and TJC
- AJC promos correction
2. Biology- 2 tutorials: stem cells and gene therapy, plant cloning
3. GP- redo Promo essay
4. Chem- 20 Qns on random topics for test when sch reopens
5.Econs- i dont know yet, on ivle by 16 nov
Eh, after listing them down, there's actually not much to do except only for maths lo.
I have gotten back my promos results: great improvement from mid year i guess:
Midyear Promos Improvement?
Chinese language: B B not really:(
General Paper: S E YES!
Biology: D E NO :(
Chemistry: E B Yes!
Economics: C B Yes!
Mathematics: S C Yes!
I'm actually quite pleased with my results even thought there is much room for improvement. Starting to get the hang of it!
Hm for scrabble, i think i have accomplished quite a bit...
Rating: 1887
Position in Singapore: 5th, wow! i cant really believe it myself!
Accomplishment(s): Hm, Ok. I got a high game of 621. Ranked 1st in The Serangoon Tournament. Qualified to play in WYSC and Cuz way premier.
Wish me luck for WYSC and Cuz way. I dont think i can come back from Johor mentally sound i think. You can see why because Causeway scrabble challenge is held from 30 Nov- 2 Dec and World Youth Scrabble Challenge is held from 4-6 Dec. I think i will need lots of piggy brain soup to prepare my brain cells for this grand battle. LOL :)
Well, there is a break on 3rd Dec as you can see. I think i will probably use that day to visit my classmate in Johor and say hi to his family or something haha.
Now i will just end off by giving some quizzes :)
