Had economics remedial today. I'm not very good at economics.
My friend has 2 tumblr blogs. That's bloody amazing.
Anyway I don't think anything interesting happened today.

You should probably take a look at this website if you rather like cooking. Or watching other people cook. It's people like these that make me wish Google Nose was a real thing. http://www.byrontalbott.com/

Had a public speaking thing for assembly today. It was rather interesting how all the speakers didn't quite answer the question, which was "Who are you and what are you going to be?". Most of them ended up telling us how we should go about finding out what we should become.
Frankly speaking if this was an English comprehension test they'd all have failed.
Aside from that nothing much happened today. Aside from Wayne bringing the most adorable stuffed toy ever to astronomy training. Also having prize presentation this Friday, we won a lot of stuff in June and before that.
Congratulations Mrs. Fernandez on becoming pregnant. Wish your baby grows up to be a nice child!
I have no idea what else I'm supposed to put here.

Oh yes, we have an English oral presentation and we're supposed to present on the topic of poverty in Singapore. When I Googled "poor in Singapore" most of the results were quite depressing. Not to mention there were too many Anton Casey articles.

I should probably go to sleep now. Good night.

Eh, well sorry about not posting for over a month. Quite a bit happened then. We won Astrochallenge (both junior and senior (TAKE THAT RI!)) and then there were the holidays where I also went on an astronomy trip to Port Dickson, which was quite nice. The food was great. Especially the omelettes. We stayed at a resort building thing.
Malaysia: Pretty beaches. Too bad the same can't be said about the infrastructure.
They even had an observatory at the resort, which was kind of cool, except at that time the sky wasn't that bad and they only ever pointed it at the Moon.

But still, kind of cool.

DID I MENTION THEY HAD KITTIES THERE?

SO F***ING ADORABLE :D

Anyway aside from that we also brought along a couple of telescopes and every night we set them up in the carpark and looked at stuff. The skies there were much better than in Singapore. You could see a lot more. I brought my binoculars along and managed to see some globular clusters with them.

We also walked around on the beach a bit. There was a lot of interesting stuff.

Some kind of clay deposit.

And that's a fiddler crab.

We won Astrochallenge. Not too shabby. About time too, I was getting tired of always coming behind RI.

So we just got back our progress reports. My results were quite good, I'd say. The problem is that now all the computers in my house are broken, so there really isn't anything to keep me occupied other than books. But that's alright.
Everyone's relaxing and going ice skating and watching movies, and I can't help but feel a bit jealous. Probably because I never asked if I could join in. I can't always blame them for not inviting me.

Script checking is over. Did alright for my exams, except for economics. I probably shouldn't pursue a career in the financial sector.

SJChO tomorrow. I wonder if I've prepared enough.

Sorry about the long delay. The exams arrived so I spent quite a lot of time revising or reading books. Anyway now that they're over I can relax.

I borrowed quite a few library books. They're all crime fiction.

We went for the Asian Physics Olympiad opening ceremony today. It was rather boring and I fell asleep. I liked the water drum performance though. It had pyrotechnics.

My computer screen broke. I'll probably have to get a new computer.
