movies galore

today's lesson is all about movies, apart from math. math assignment 1st question is really hard, i assure you. assuming u dint use the calculator... anyway, in math, loo finally combined everything and we start to understand why inflection point and f'(x)=0 is not the same, unlike what everyone thought in year 3. finally felt like something cool is going on here, like math and physics is just a bunch of coincidences, or else they are like miracles. how can everything fit so nicely? cant believe it.

bio was nice. now we all know ms renata is in a band, and she can sing and draw well, and without specs, shes really quite pretty. but its a bit strange that her voice sounds so hoarse sometimes. anyway, we were given this worksheet, which is why i hate geog and bio worksheets. they dont let u enjoy the movie. i mean, everyone was so darn focused on the worksheet, like how to answer it, and i hear the paper flipping and pens scraping and in my brain its like "shit. what the hell am i supposed to write??" this kinds of ruin the movie.

anyway, i kind of really enjoyed the movie, cos the storyline is really quite good, and got some (sick) humour too. but then the pen scraping gets on my nerves, and i have to sort of off my attention for awhile to write in the answer. so disgusting urghh!! but the story quite good. at first i a bit confused with the format, but i somewhat like it this way. part story, part information. i think adrian also enjoyed it, cos he wasnt really writing that much. i mean, after ms renata said that the back part wasnt essential, me and adrian continued watching while the rest of yo dawg muggers keep writing way after i finished writing. ah well, used to it already...

after that, there was chinese. before that, i kind of antifreeze myself playing netball. i dunno why, just that since chee was going to chinese with me anyway, might as well join him and jun wei. in the end we also kicked the ball. chee's shoe flew up damn high, just as mak and the rest of his class came up the stairs and they all laughed at him. so timely.

chinese was listening compre, and then 10 min the funny movie. i wasnt paying much attention to really enjoy it, but i could manage to get the jokes even though i was playing boon chongs phone. anyway, i love how chinese is so slack and yet we are kind of learning something. higher chinese is just teachers bullying students. its not fair. doesnt the management realise it or something? that our chinese teaching style isnt working. anyway, they only have half a year left of it. look forward to that, when u can have massive chinese bonfire session.

after chinese was english. was scary at first, cos i usually blank out during compo. but then the clock played a trick on me... i tot lesson would end at 2:30 instead of 3, so i kind of only use 4 points with the minimal 10 word planning i wrote on the top of the fulscap paper. im surprised the conclusion fit quite well with what i was going to say. i mean, the order was just nice the same as my summary of points, even though it was like CA, SA, SA, CA. think i did well :D

went to play netball after that. at first 08 and 09 vs rest, than 07, 08 and 09 as more ppl joined in. it seemed really long and even though i dont like netball, it feels good to finally be able to reach something. maybe i crossed that height limit, or maybe i just had proper sleep the previous night, so i could react better, think better, predict better. so i managed to cope the ball from "arrogant" ppl, but still i could feel my limits. height, arm length, hand size, tolerance to sun. still it was damn fun.

i think our teamwork amongst our class was good. like jordan is the center of our passing chains. we two pass very safe passes, usually to pin and back. pin use his deceptive passes and height as usual, while i took my time to pass properly. by right i hold the ball too long, but at least i dont fail so much until i want to quit the game. anyway, we pass to chee or jm, who are also the defenders, and both of them are damn tall. no problem in scoring. somewhat like netball girls. they dont have to be super physically strong, but their teamwork and safe play can cause them to always beat us guys...

media was exciting again. i was afraid it might screw up, cos our dear yr 3's cant be bothered to get the program at all. ok thats quite a bad accusation, but i tot it be much better if good ppl like yi xuan join it. he is really passionate about it, and he got DSLR. i mean the yr 3's have it, but last week, the panning exercise, whole bunch of them were complaining. ok im being biased here...

anyway, media we learnt light room, which is a photo editing program. much better than photoshop, cos u can handle more than one pic at the same time, unlike photoshop where u must save the changes, then close and load another. also, learnt alot of new terms. like i finally understand what saturation is. before that i was like blur about it. anyway, DSLR is really awesome cos it can shoot in RAW mode, and i saw weiren and his friend transform some not so nice and overexposed tablecloth picture into something that can be made into a book cover. really damn powerful, that lightroom.

was told to take pics for the goal setting talk in theathrette too. would have stayed in to listen, if media wasnt more interesting. its about setting goals that actually help u. i mean, my goals suck, and they are useless and dont help me at all. cos its wrong somewhat. u need to tell someone about ur goals so ull actually do it, and dont aim to beat other people, cos that is out of ur control. dint hear much more cos i was only there for about 10 min. ah well.

after CCA, we futsalled again. white shirts vs rest. even though there was around 30 ppl on the court, it was actually playable, like not some crazy clearing. there was one part early in the match where there was indian combo, where ram damn nice clear, even though it was going out. then hema header it back in, and then muru took it on his head and dropped it down to his feet to shoot. i think jordan blocked it, but there was chaos for about 30 seconds. like the mass rebounding and clearing and hitting ppl and having nice opportunities but failing, until the ball finally went out. and everyone kind of died after that due to laughter.

jordan was insanely good today, like some fortress. he blocks balls really well, and he also scored. i mean even though loo was doing a douchey kick, png ran in and caught the ball on the stomach and scored. a bit tyco, but its the effort that counts. our team was better even though we were outnumbered. largely due to awesome defending. ram is really very good. muru, me and yong jen got quite good teamwork, even though smexy keeps ruining our chances. felt very satisfied with my contribution in the match. probably cos im more alert due to better sleep. i shall sleep early on thursdays from now on...

got to wake up at 9 tmr morning. (not 7 am and eating breakfast and waiting for the bus). its not that early. cos most of u all wake up regularly, unlike me. anyway, i got this transformer lucas film workshop thing. was free, plus it was abit of an opportunity so ill be going. hopefully its fun and i learn something again. goodnights.
