The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You

I spent 4hours++ in Jurong library today studying.. just hope I wont go to waste. The wanting to pass this Chinese O lvls is utlimately indescribable. I dont wanna retake it. I had dinner at Mac, I made a resolution.. that I wouldnt work there even if they paid $10 an hour.. Because Shrek the 3rd is coming out soon, the staff were all wearing wierd hairband thingys with ogre ears sticking out of them.. it looked quite sick, almost spewed my mcSpicy, which was unusually spicy today. Who cares about burgers anyway.. So a lot of people are talking about Pirates 3, most gave good reviews.. I havent watched it yet, but the newspaper review wasnt written very nicely. But I still have a good feeling that I will enjoy it. I heard the Singaporean pirate.. haha dunno how to spell his name, didnt last very long in the show, which made including singapore in the movie rather redundant, maybe only because the director is so fascinated by this country.
I like my transition specs.. and my new toothbrush.. spoke at :

Just came back from school, meet e parents wasnt so bad, i think,.. I just simply gave monotonically monosyllaballical answers to ms. hia's questions.. most of them were just as I predicted, aiming to make me want to work hard, how useless.. haha, am I not already going to? Theres no school tomorrow, means library. Whole day at home means fruitless. The last thing I would want is another fairsian who got the same idea. Will be going to Nepal after Chinese O's,, 1 day to pack, like I always do, probably getting a bag on sunday. 55 people going to Nepal this year will be split into about 4 groups, like painting, building a classroom, cleaning the school, and setting up a computer lab. I realsied all the IT geeks (not supposed to be offending) were in the lab thingy, and Im not really into hardware. I guess I was building e room, which is supposed to be on the 2nd level, sounds fun.. haha, well I hope it will be fun.. that is.. spoke at :

I'm really very happy with my overall results, though its an L1R5 of 18. The only subjects I need to improve on in terms of L1R5 is English and Combined Humans, those 2 made up 11 points. haha.. and I'm 6th in class, supposed to be 5th, coz 5th place got the same average score as me, just that her name came first in the class list.. wish my name started with Joel and not Wong.. I also realised if I passed Chinese, I would be 3rd.
Today's devotion was about having thanksgiving in our hearts, not to thank God for every circumstance or situation, but for guiding us out of it. Of course we must look on the positive side of every situation, but these problems are not from God. In the end of every trouble, which explains itself, we're already out of it, which is why we give thanks. And thus, disallowing seeds of discouragement to be sown.
In every victory Let it be said of me My source of strength My source of hope Is Christ alone
I may need to be reminded of this soon. spoke at :

Some stuff are too unpredictable, For a moment, I thought it was impossible while thinking impossibly. Quite a long moment actually, about 10 months I hope this is really a start, And not some false hope. spoke at :

Here are my disgusting results: English - C6 Chinese - D7 SS/(Geog) - C5 E Maths - A1 A Maths - B3 Physics - A2 Chem - B4 D&T - B4 L1R5 - 21
I cant even go to yishun jc.. Chinese was the only sub I've been wanting so desperately to pass, but it seems so impossible... everyone else got a B or C, and Im the only failure in e class. Im even supposed to top physics and chem. Chem was rather unexpected, all those who used to do well in tests.. this time, didnt get a distinction. I gonna study the whole of june.. everyone says they will.. but I will.. haha, as in the WHOLE june. Super pissed with Mid year results.. Also cant believe the class, I can top geog with a C5. I really hate my results, dont want to lok at them, havent told parents.. usually teachers have more reactive reactions than those parents who are not, my dad will kill me for chinese... Heres a friend test, like what everybody's doing.. dunno why..
Keith requested a video, heres one I think and most probably have posted before, but noone's seen it.

haha..cant wait for exam results, coz I think I did well, for most subs. Obviously chinese is an exception.. and perhaps A maths, coz when the bio ppl were quarantined after their practical, mdm toh told them that half the class failed, only 2 distinctions, neither of which are me. I dunno about my results, because I seem to myself that I've done well, but half the class holds a lot of possibility, which really sucks, considering how much I studied.. okay, not a lot.. I watched Spiderman 3 today, the camera was like shaking all over the place, quite irritating. If not, the storyline was nice, though it didnt really follow the comic's. Venom is supposed to be killed only by ultrasound.. Jiawei's cousin said something like at the last part the sandman talked so long to spiderman so that harry cant be sent to the hospital earlier.. haha. And the sandman flew away.. Ive started playing fellowship of the ring on pc.. a super old game, but quite nice,, though the characters look like crap. spoke at :

haha.. physics today was so crazy, never done an easier paper before.. it was like as easy as chem yesterday.. Everything was so common sensical, dont even need formulas, just ratio and stuff. Anyway some ppl said they couldnt do the car qn.. It means the driver saw the obstacle, travelled another 14 metres at 20m/s before starting to brake.. lol, means he took 1.4 seconds to react. Then he took 4 s to stop.. if I remember correctly.. I couldnt really find anything that would cost me marks, probably will lose them from some missing keywords or something. Another super confusing question was an MCQ.. about work done. Logically it was D, but according to the textbk, it was another answer, haha,,, hope I'll get that one right. And I dont think I'm gonna study for E Maths.. call me complacent, I wish I weren't, but I am and cant help it. spoke at :

A Maths Exam was absolutely annoying, it wasn't difficult. Just that I lost 15 marks through brainblocks. Everything in the paper was so simple... ..like it was all common sense, but I had to forget everything at that moment. I'm just hoping I didnt make any careless mistakes that could cause devastating effects, esp those differenciation, the last minute study ones.. haha. ok.. Hope the rest of the class did better... I'm topping physics and e maths, competing with mence, tuck yan and joash.. D&T must get full marks. I was introduced to a series of anime on saturday, now watching the 10th episode, a bit slow, but who cares, its exams. Have to start studying for physics.. spoke at :

Yeah a week of humans exams are over, I think the exams are quite okay, considering how badly I always do for humanities.. Next week is Physics, Chem, E and A Maths.. in 3 days.. haha, means weekend cannot slack out... hmm. that actually sounds quite cool... Eliza will have to wait until next week to tell me about 8 years of the US.. oh wait, no one knows her.. A Maths remedial tmr, gonna bombard mdm toh until I'm sure I can get an A. spoke at :

okok.. I made a theory last year but no one bothered to care about it, that all objects in motion are constantly moving away from itself. Those who know dont have to read this. I found this out when a bee was chasing me.. You see, I'm moving away from the bee, which is also the same direction as the bee is moving. Since I'm moving away from the bee, and the bee is moving in the same direction as me, which is away form it, then the bee is moving away from itself.. haha. Tuck Yan says it's too logical. spoke at :

Mark Ho asked me yesterday about ISO.. So what actually is ISO? Okay look down. This is a picture of my table, at ISO 80. Looks normal right? Now scroll down,
Aha, this is at ISO 800. The most prominent difference is obviously the window. ISO 80 shows you the beautiful trees outside, But look at ISO 800, its glaringly bright, many people say it's bad, yeah it is but if you look at a previous post, there's a picture of a cat with bright sunlight, taken at a high ISO, which looks nice. So use this relation of ISO and lighting to your advantage, an e.g. of bad regulation of ISO is this pic.
But wait, look at my computer screen... Its black in my ISO 80 pic. The ISO 800 pic, however can show a somewhat recognizable iTunes. It has again to do with light, but I wont elaborate I guess.. Play with your camera on different stuff and find out.

Now lets look at my cupboard, this picture below is at an ISO of 80
This one below is 800.. see the difference? maybe... now scroll down
This is a close up of ISO 80, click to zoom in.
This is ISO 800
From the pics, you can see that the ones at 800 ISO are more detailed, like u can see the grain, and some excessive noise around. It's for things like exposing your friends blackheads, or making some. ISO 80, as can be seen, makes the picture smoother, but may be blurrer if you dont control the ISO properly. Try not to use it while taking photos of people far away if you're gonna zoom it in. At a distance, it should be okay.
