Midnight,
not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is shining alone.
In the lamplight the whithered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan.
Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading Roses wither away
Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day Now Old Deuteronomy, just before dawn Through a
silence you feel you could cut with a knife Announces the cat who can now be
reborn
And come back to a different jellicle life Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you Open up, enter in If you find there the
meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again
Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin Sunlight, through the trees in the summer
Endless masquerading Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
The memory is fading
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun
If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun

Finally! The end of the week has arrived! Today had been a great day for me...for once, we get to watch a show for GP lecture, Dead Poet Society...nice show, with a touching ending...In the evening, I went back to St Margs for the 162nd Speech Day...to receive prize...7 distinctions!!!I received the prize (a certificate and $25 Kinokuniya vochure) from the guest-of-honour of the night, Mrs Jane Iggoti Shanmugaratnam...In addition to the usual prizes they gave out, this year, for the first time, in loving memory of Mrs Lee, they give the Caroline Lee Trophy for the Most Outstanding Performing Arts Student...The performance was wonderful...songs, dances, band...the choir sang quite well...they sang Beauty of the Earth and the Benediction...After the performance, we were all excited to take pictures...

Lecture, lecture and more lecture...I had lectures for all the 3 sciences today...I was only half awake half-way through physics lecture...waves...for the starting part of chemistry lecture, i was hoping that the bell that signals the end of the day will ring soon when suddenly she said something that triggered my sleepy mind. I forgot what exactly did she say that make me laugh but I know that it was not really funny as my friends looked at me and commented that I had a weird sense of humour. I don't know why after that, she keep on making us laugh...i find the jokes funny...for instance when she was teaching us the various methods of calculating, she said that those who prefer the "Energy Cycle" method are people who like to cycle...haha and that those who aspire to drive would prefer to use the "Energy Level" method cause they will park their cars in a multi-level carpark. Haha...When she came to the algebraic method, she said that the mathematically inclined pple would prefer those methods and then she went on talking about a boy from the Brainest Kid who's really good in his mental sums...i don't quite see the link but nevertheless, I still laughed...haha... well, laughter is the best medicine afterall...

Isn't it weird to start the week with a Friday's timetable? As the college had missed too many Firdays, today's timetable is acutally a Friday's. As a result, I ended going home earlier than I would on a normal Monday. I was given choc. vochures to sell to help to raise funds for SAV and up till now, I have sold $40 wortth of choc vochures...isn't that wonderful? (and that is excluding my church friends and some other pple...) Afterall, who can resist the temptation of choc? I will also be going on a "choc shopping spree" tml to help my friends buy the choc...i think that would be a real fun...I had never walked into a choc shop and buting $20 worth of choc without hurting my pocket...they will be the ones paying for it and of course, they will be the ones eating it...but the fun lies in buying the choc...how many pple can actually buy choc without consideration for the cost and providing a service for others and having fun at the same time? Anyway, I am quit confident that the choc vochures will sell well and everyone would find it fun to sell those vochures...

27th Student Council Commendation

It's time that the 26th student council step down and really study for their "A"s... Afterall, they need to and had done so much for the school. To the 26th student councillors:You are a really wonderful group of pple who had and will continue to inspire me to learn, to lead, to serve. Good luck for your future endearvours and continue to be the light that shine and light up the paths of others. Thank you for being there.
Just as the 26th student council step down, the 27th student council step up and were commended at the St Andrew's Cathedral today. They had put in countless of hours of hardwork for today's commendation. All of them, and I mean ALL, were looking very neat and smart in their blazers. I'm really proud to have them as the student leaders of SAJC. I am sure that they will continue to uphold the tradition and the good name of the school. Let's hope and pray that they will do the correct things with the school and student body in mind and let's respect them for they have been given authority. Afterall, we are one big family of the Saints and together, we'll bring the school to greater heights, conquering all difficulties that come our way with the blessings of God.

Post, post common test

Common test is over about 2 weeks and I have gotten my results back...well, my results were quite okay and I feel that I should have studied harde. Well, it's too late to say that now, but I will definitely study harder for my promos...
GP- C6
Chinese- A2
Maths 9233- A
Biology- C
Chemistry- E
Physics- O

Well, at least I managed to secure 2As...Chinese was a pleasant surprise as I thought I did not really study it this year and what shocked me was that it was actually my compo that pull my grade up...Well, my maths is my strong subject, better than my sciences...should have taken F maths then...(it's too late now)... Anyway, this week is going to be a busy week...with a change in leadership everywhere (i mean the council and the CCAs). Friday is council commendation and we can go home after the commendation at 12 noon! Yeah! I'm certainly looking forward to that day...
I'm suppose to be doing research for my GP...ha! So I shall stop writing soon and do my research...btw, below is the lyrics to the song When You Believe...nice song, so enjoy and good night

When You Believe- Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey

Whitney
Many nights weive prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know thereis much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Itis hard to kill

Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

Mariah
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now Iim standing here
With heart so full
I canit explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought Iid say
Miriam and Tzipporah
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Itis hard to kill

Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Itis hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
Now you will
You will when you believe

Whitney and Mariah
You will when you believe

More about Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB)

I think I mention in my journal yesterday that I was selected for the research attachment programme during the Nov-Dec hols at IMCB and that I was really excited about it. After all, this is my second attempt to get into a reaserch programme this year (the first one was the Science Research Programme, SRP, which I think I failed the Aptitude Test). Well, MS and YW got into the programme as well, just too bad that we are all going to different research institutes...In order for me to "fit" into the research programme and the institute, not only do I have to read up on current resaecrh but I would also need to know more about IMCB. So, I surf the net and visited IMCB's website and found the following info: IMCB was established in 1987 at NUS. Mission:"to develop and foster a vibrant research culture for biological and biomedical sciences which will support the development of biotechnology for the human healthcare industry in Singapore". Location: IMCB is located on the university campus amidst the science and medical faculties. It is next to the National University Hospital, and close to the Singapore Science Parks I and II. IMCB is funded by the Agency for Science, Technology & Research (A*STAR), with some funding from industry and external granting agencies. Since 1987, IMCB has made great achievements and contributed much to the local research. It has gained global recognition and is continually doing so. Recently, a group of IMCB scientists is involved in the SARS research which made lots of findings. Libertas Laeta Parva Puella sign off...

What a wholesome week

What a busy two weeks it had been and it has been a long long time since i last wrote in. Now I shall update you guys out there the happenings that took place the last two week.
Last week was common test week. The things that I had studied during the holidays finally had the chance to be "released'! Ha! Well, if you ask me how common test was, I would regret and tell you that I should not have made so many careless mistakes! Urgh! It's always the careless mistakes that are costing me so many marks. Well, I going to work harder next time.
Just had my Chinese Oral today. It's sort of scary as one of my examiners was looking some strictly at I don't know what! The other one was more friendly. At least it's over now and I don't have to worry about it. Wait till the results come out!
Oh, by the way. I just received one piece of good news! I got into the research attacchment programme at IMCB!!! I thought I would not make it but haha...I've made it! So happy! The only minus point 5 weeks of Dec hols will be spent doing research and I will miss the Hawaii trip(if there is one) at the end of the year!!! But nevertheless, this is a wonderful opportunity for me to be exposed to the state-of-art laboraties. So excited and yet so sleepy...had a long day in school, what to do?! Time to sleep and dream...Good Night!
