.:. Epic Week .:.
Typing this while waiting for my chem practice paper to print.
Was holding the prelim examination timetable in morning assembly queue when suddenly Mr Neo walks up and said'"This week test include DNA and Genomics. So many ppl failed the last 1. I am going to do this until u all get correct." Then it was maths, the lecturer than said we are going to hv a stats maths test on thurs. Wow...what a great way to start the week sia. As if the initial 4 tests are not enough, now have like an extra test and chapter to learn...
I guess it jus school. I know that they are trying to drill it into us, I understand, but ya...5 tests in a week...wow...what an awesome week this is going to be. I don't know if i am becoming a mugger...but i kinda like the feeling now when i jus pick up the practice papers and can start doing it without flipping through the notes that many times...kinda satisfying actually :) I guess the school atmosphere plays a part as well. For instance, that day when Ms Gopal wasn't there for the 1st lesson of the day, I was expecting the class cheering and play around. But all that happened was..."Yay!"...and then everyone turned to their tables and started doing work !!!OMG!!! Oh well...afterall we are JC students, and like what i told sushan. "Study is our life for now."
So now I am left with using such short minute timeslots to blog.
Oh ya, for this week, 3 of the tests happen on thurs, and coincidently thurs of week A is our MONSTER THURSDAY!!! So we are going to end at 6pm, with 3 tests inbetween...my brain cells are going to be so fried after tat!!
Jia You everyone!!!(jus nice print finish liao)

.:. Prom .:.
Was taking a break after fri class with sushan, michelle, terence, joseph and zhi yong. We went to play basketball at my house, then we go kovan Heartland Mall for PizzaHut. We all took the dinner special, $14(include service charge and GST), 5 course meal (Soup, Criss-cross fries, Main Course, Desert and a drink). Quite worth it, but its the company that counts, being able to sit there and jus chat happily. Our convo at the end was steered towards Prom at the end of the year, and then i realised the stark difference between how guys and girls treat the event.
Here are the examples:
Preparation:
Girl 1: What should I wear go? No time to go buy leh.
Girl 2: Ya lor, but i think i will wear something special.
Girl 1: Color, accessories etc...so much to think and go buy.
Guy 1: Eh what u wearing ah?
Guy 2: Long sleeve shirt lor.
Guy1: Cool, gonna have to dig it out from my cupboard.
Getting there:
Girl 1: Eh that day before prom we all go someone house and then we dress-up there.
Girl 2: Ok, who's house?
(day before prom)
Guy 1: Tml prom what time ah?
Guy 2: Erm i think its 7 ba...
Guy 1: Wan meet at MRT 1st?
Guy 2: Set, 6.30 MRT. U call the rest haha.
During prom:
Girl 1: Lets go dance
Girl 2: Yay (chiongs there)
Guy 1: Sits on the chair and chat
Guy 2: Sits beside and chat with guy 1.
Haha I guess u all get the idea. Well there's nothing wrong in both reactions, jus amused by it. No wonder people say guys are from Mars and girls are from Venus, But then why are we all on Earth now????

.:. UUSED .:.
The fleet engages in battle with the Zaft inavders jus above the Earth's atmosphere. The 8th fleet, tasked with mission to defend, finds itself in a fix against the overpowering Zaft trrops. Wave after wave, their forces trikle little by little, standing as the last line of defence.
Voices crackle over the communication link. Commands, orders, cry for help and some just simply crackled dead silent. The pilot shook his head to remove the sweat in his eyes, clearing his eyes on the target. He clicked on the trigger, accurately taking out his opponent with 1 hit. The gundam dashes throught the battlefield, leaving shattered fragments behind him. Suffering from fatigue, the pilot has no choice to carry on, aimlessly protecting whats left.
"Recall to troops! Main is under fire!"
He jammed against the reverse thrusters, stopping the gundam in mid flight. He looked back at the carrier, surrounded by Zaft ginns, the igelsturn turrets saturating the area with fire, trying its best to keep the ginns away. He pushed the throttle at full force, the jets behind him blazing alive. The pieces of burnt metal clank against the gundam as it charges ahead. Shells drop from the shaft as the barrel's temperature heats up, the ginn reloading its emptied cartridges, the main's outer covering giving way under the barage. Anxious yet helpless, the pilot opened fire at the targets that were too far to reach. A couple of ginns took note of it, attempting to intercept the incoming defender. "Get out of the way!" he screamed, punching the button at the side of the main screen panel. The gundam released the beam rifle, drawing out its beam saber. Sparks bounced of the armor, as the gundam and the ginns clashed. The back of the gundam exploded, as a ginn took the opportunity to take out the gundam. Serving only to anger the pilot more, he drew his 2nd saber, making short work of the 3 interceptors. Precious time was wasted, the main badly damaged from the assault. He charged towards the main, unknowingly followed by a proton beam. The main's frame gae way under the beam, exploding into flames in the darkness of space. Taken aback by the sudden turn of events, he froze in his sit. Flames engulfed the gundam, the force of the explosion throwing the gundam off course.
It descends, nearer and nearer towards the atmosphere, pulled by gravity. The pilots remains still in his sit. Temperature on the gundam rises, as the metal alloy becomes red hot with friction against the atmosphere upon entry. Originally it was made to withstand atmospheric entry, but given the current condition, it is jus being teared into pieces by the sheer force. Bits and pieces of the outer layer gets peeled off, falling behind the falling gundam , melting almost immediately into dust. The gundam shakes violently, the belt holding the pilot cutting his shoulder. A damage suffered from previous battle worsens, the heat severing the conduits holding the wing. Melting helplessly, the wings spins off from the body, tearing into several pieces as it flys off. Without the wing, the aerodynamics of the gundam is affected, sending it into a spiral as it enters the clouds. The screen blares red, yet the pilot stays still, upon failure of his mission. The gundam emerges from the cloud, accelrating towards the ocean, a white trail of cloud following him. Steam and water combines, as the heated piece of metal hits upon the serene water. It sinks to the bottom, surrounded by the dark blue vast ocean. Hitting against the sea floor, it stirs up sand, settling upon the war weary gundam. The pilot lied back against the sit, closing his eyes...

.:. 100 .:.
Its complete!
Yes you did not enter a wrong blog, this is my new blog skin. After much effort, nights sitting infront of the computer, tearing my hair off and very "paisehly" disturbing my "Shi Mu", its now officially done and public. As a 100th post celebration, I am changing the blogskin to something personal and thereby, I am going to explain the blogskin now.
First, the general background. Decided to use a mostly black, grey and white design. As seen, there is my personal logo, the One-Winged Angel. Since I am here, I might as well explain that as well. For those in the dark, its actually a gundam, Wing Gundam to be exact. I colored it black and white only, and took out one of its wings. The only black wing covering the white gundam is a symbol of imperfection. The wing that allows it to soar is what allows it to the best of imperfection. Next I added in a title to my blog, my name. Primarily red, it kind of stands out from the black and grey background, but i purposely blur the name a little to further suit the imperfection theme. The textbox at the side is bordered blue to black seperate it from the background. The white background, coupled by the super light montage of photos of all those that have accompanied on my journey, serves as a memory of the previous blogskin. Lastly, i added in a few white clouds to link it the blog as a whole. Tadah!!! A one and only blogskin by Dalvin!
Next to the icons. As now I am using an imagemap format, i decided to use the wing feathers as the basis of the link. To access it, simply hover around until the wording appears :)
If you continue exploring, you will also notice that all the sections(except for the posts) start with a japanese quote and end with the english translation. Thats something new that I wanted to add in, derived from my love for japanese songs. I've always said that japanese lyrics are meaningful, thus I have now decided to let it be the soul of my blog. So look through the quotes, appreciate and enjoy :)
Thats the summary of my blogskin :) Seems short considering the time I put into the blog. But i blame it on mid-years and as it is my first attempt, I am super happy and proud of it.! Oh, sorry for the tag box being not centralized, no matter what i do i cant centralize it, so i am just going to leave it :). But other than that, I am super happy!!!
Thanks to my Shi Mu, Michelle, for teaching me how to code the template. I know i've been pestering you quite a alot, so sorry!!! Thanks lots!!! :)

.:. Over .:.
Neither strength alone, or mind alone. Such is the ideology/logic that Lacus Clyne taught me. Took me a while to learn the true meaning of it then. One might posses the strength to achieve, the intelligence to overcome any obstacle, or even be well-versed in both. Yet one still needs friends, people he can talk to, individuals to confide in and share his ideals.
That is wat I like bout tis quote and i find it applies to me lots. Especially during the recently past hols. Friends are whom I talk to most, share my problems with and spend most of the time with. Encouragement is but part of what I find amongst them. The study group in sch has been SUPER helpful in making me study. So I need to thank those who were consistent in being apart of the study group: Ryan, Terence, Mich, (Occasional: Sharon, Sushan, Zhi Yong). Without you guys, I would not have studied as much. So thanks lots :)
On that note, lets talk bout Mid-Years. This has got to be one of my worst prepared for exams. I think i need to start re-evaluating my studying strategy. I studied chem in the 1st week, econs in 2nd n left 2 weeks for bio. But i realised those that i studied earlier would be forgotten later, which makes me super sian, like the time taken is wasted. Oh well onto the papers. Maths (good game), Econs (Din finish essay...and i tink i wrote out of point), Chem (paper 3 i lost time cos i choose the wrong ques, paper 2 was paper 2) n Bio(paper 1 was the best paper of my Mid-years). Yup tats all. So i am seriously hoping to pass, or to even do better than block test. My 00 Raiser is dependent on it, but as now it seems, i would hv to wait longer T.T
Songs=SOulful saviNGS.
Realised i depend on my songs alot. Although i am picky bout my songs, it allows me to eventually find songs which i really like. A painful process to search for the songs, but the reward is super satisfying. I luv the lyrics, the rythm, the singers everything!!! I start the day with the songs thatI've learnt the lyrics, then new songs n then let my phone do the shufling. At the end of the day, its again songs that end my day. So I am super dependent on songs. Therefore, I am gonna saturate u guys with lots of new and currently my fav PVs.
This Love Never Ends - Kouhei Takeda
I love the atmosphere in this PV. How he appears with the coat covering him. The girls behind him with the violins during the chorus. The rustic/black and feel of the whole PV. So luving it.
Feels the Same - Yu Takahashi and Nana Yanagisawa
Done by 2 very pretty girls :) I like the lyrics, especially the 1st stanza. Gonna "kope" and use in my upcoming 100th post.
Inherited System - Kouhei Takeda/Nana Yanagisawa/Yu Takahashi/Nago Keisuke
I like the feel of this song. I dun know how to explain this, i jus somehow like this song.
Yay thats 3 new songs into my arsenal. Hope u guys like it. After tis post, I figure its gonna be awhile. Cos there's lots to do, and its a headache. But when it gets done, I am gonna be super satisfied !!! :)
