HAHA omg I found this hilarious pic... It's damn gross!!!!
11:11 PM
This is my PI, I'm putting it up here so that I can print it out tmr at the library. Lol.
I have chosen James T. Russell, the inventor of the compact disc. James Russell was granted a total of 22 patents for various elements of his compact disk system, which was invented in the 1960s. However, the compact disk came into popularity when it was mass manufactured by Philips in 1980.
CD-ROMs and CD-Rs remain widely used technologies in the PC industry as of 2007. The CD and its extensions have been extremely successful: in 2004, the annual worldwide sales of CD-Audio, CD-ROM, and CD-R reached about 30 billion discs. With the wide use of CDs in the world today, I feel that it is appropriate to feature the inventor of the compact disc for this project.
I feel that an exhibition on James Russell will best showcase this groundbreaker. This small exhibition will trace the evolution of the compact disc and how it improved over time. Different booths showing compact discs at different time periods with pictures and information will be set up. To attract viewers, pop music will be played constantly. If possible, a small shop selling CDs will be set up to attract more viewers. James T. Russell has also designed and built the first electron beam welder. This minor invention will also be featured along with his biography at a small section.
The aim of this project is to create awareness of inventors such as James T. Russell, whose contributions are not widely recognized. Most people take inventions such as the compact disc for granted and this exhibition will also aim to help people to appreciate the contributions made by James Russell to society, especially the music world. Hopefully, after the exhibition, more and more people will be inspired by James Russell, a child prodigy who, at age six, invented a remote-control battleship, with a storage chamber for his lunch. Budding inventors can learn from his perseverance and brilliance in the area of inventing.
However, there are a few constraints in this project. To properly feature the evolution of the compact disc, a lot of precise and reliable information has to be collected. Thus, other sources such as books or reliable magazines have to be used. These are rather difficult to find. Also, to get a shop to sell CDs is difficult, with copyright and cost constraints. The cost involved will be relatively high, and to get sponsors will be very difficult as well. It is achievable, however, with the proper sponsors and information.
The location of this exhibition would best be in a convention centre like Singapore Expo. However, since this is difficult to achieve, it could be held at smaller and less expensive places such as a school. Manpower would also be a problem. The exhibition would require more people to man the booths and the CD player.

I'm so tired....
I only had 3-4 hours of sleep last night.
Woke up this morning to go for choir. I was so exhausted, I didn't really feel like talking to anyone. I realise that I'm not really myself in choir. I'm more quiet and introverted, unlike in class with T4. As in I don't even chat with the people in my section. Probably because some people insulted my dear friend Jason Salim, so I was quite pissed off with them. Nevertheless, there're still lots more nice people in choir to mingle with. (Yes Rebecca I'm referring to you. Lol)
We went to VCH (Victoria Concert Hall) today to rehearse for the big day. We were a bundle of nerves after watching the RJC choir, which was twice our size. Hence Mr Toh told us to collect ourselves and calm ourselves down before attempting to sing again.
So exhausted...
Song Without Words, Ave Maria, Chua-ay.I really don't like being in bass, even though I enjoy choir. It's still so uncomfortable singing so low.
We have choir practice 5 times next week. It's only natural I guess. I just hope I won't be too drained to do other things.
All I want to do is find a way back into love
-----
"Girlfriend" by Avril is actually a very fun and catchy song. However, both Jing Xin and Colin regretted buying "The Best Damn Thing". Quite an ironic title for them I guess.
I really want to get to know more people in choir. Hopefully I will be able to stop being so constantly tired during choir and make more friends, especially because I'm going to Slovakia with them.
I want to go to Slovakia, but it's so far away...
So far away...
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you
Someday we'll know
Why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow,
And watched the stars crash in the sea,
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren't you here with me? Tonight

SYF's only about 2 weeks away.
The whole choir's feeling nervous and anxious about it, especially the seniors.
Mr.Toh says that the judges are looking for a big choir, and we have a very little chance of getting gold.
It kinda demoralised us, especially the seniors.
Still, choir's enjoyable, for many other reasons. We did well today, although I kinda messed up at some point during the set piece cos I didn't really memorise it.
Still, we must press on! To all my fellow choir people if they read this blog: We just have to do our best! Just put in our best effort! We rock! Haha...
-----
Corinne sent me "Someday We'll Know" from the A Walk To Remember OST (which someone(a guy) nearly cried watching. Lol!). The song is damn nice! It's recommended, although Mandy Moore's name is really fake. It's not her real name anyway.
-----
I did HORRIBLY for the stupid research assignment! Damn it! Sigh, a chunk of my marks for CA gone. AAAAHHHHHHH
-----
I have decided to go on a diet. LOL!
Yeah cos I think that losing weight will help me for my stupid NAPFA test. I'll have to train at the same time too. More time taken up. Sigh.
-----
I was thinking, at this time last year, I think I was still slacking away. It's so different now. I have to hurry to finish my work and everything. JC life is really different from Sec Sch life.
-----
Oh and I went out with Colin and Martin again on sat. We went around City Hall and Orchad. They're like our new hangout spots. Went to Bishan Library to study with Martin on Sunday, and I saw so many familiar people. Colin said that Bishan is the place to go. Lol.
-----
I have to hurry finish my stupid PI, which I'm still undecided as to who to do on. My previous Groundbreaker was so inappropriate. On top of that, I still have an Econs and GP essay due. SIGH.
-----
Yes, lately my posts have been very one lined and I don't really elaborate much on it. I guess I'm kinda in a hurry to finish blogging. Sorry bout that. Will do more detailed blogging next time.
-----
Oh here's something funny that I posted before.
These are censored album covers. They're real I think. Lol.
LOL.

"Matheus thinks that I got this blog name from Christina Aguilera's "The Voice Within", which has a line "Life is a journey" inside.
Well Matheus, although I am a big fan of Christina, nope. I'm not very sure where I got this title, but it's most probably from reading a book. I just know it's not from that song, even though It's one of my fav songs."
Yes, and to say it again, it's not from that song!

"I really wonder what my life will be like after leaving Catholic High, the place that I've been in for 10 years of my life.... I will definitely miss Catholic High... I really will... So many memories.... ok i sound very sentimental and cliche... haha..."
Yeah well life has been so far after leaving Catholic High. CJC has been a very nice and friendly place and I really feel at home. I've met many wonderful friends and I have a wonderful class. I miss the old days in Cat High with my best friends, but I know I have to embrace the future that I have before me! I also enjoy my CCA 1000000000000 x 10000000000 times more than the CCA I had in Sec Sch.
Sunday, September 17, 2006:
"I am a "Friends" fanatic. As in the tv show. Yah, I'm watching all the episodes from season 2 to 3 and it is totally hilarious.... It's like, the best sitcom ever. I can see why the actors/actresses were paid 1 million dollars per episode at the later seasons... I know I'm very slow, but what do you expect??? It started showing when I was only how old???"
I have finished watching the entire series, and I'm still a Friends fanatic! It's also still the best sitcom ever!

"AURGH. I have not been studying much lately."
I am not studying much now! I have to be much more disciplined.
Tuesday, October 10, 2006:
"Anyway, today was such a crazy day. First of all, Happy birthday, Yixin. Yup it's Yixin's birthday today. Martin and Colin went early in the morning before school started (at around 6) and bought a big muffin from 7-11. Haha, yeah we all forgot yesterday until Yixin very modestly messaged me and said how wonderful today was going to be because of the date. I called the rest and they all forgot.... haha... So we had to rush. Colin brought construction paper and string and strung the words "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" together and hung it near the air-con ventilation area near the algae pond, very near the small gate (for those of you who are in the school). Yixin's class overlooks that area and we called him to come out to see it. Haha. Totally insane. SoYixin, Colin, Martin, Yufei, Matthew, Cepheus (sorry if i spelled it wrongly) and I had a small (very small) party for Yixin at the air-con ventilation area, eating the muffins. Yixin got some ferrera roche. haha. I guess as we reach the end of school, we become crazier. After eating, we walked to Yixin's class and hung the "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" banner on the windows. Haha. Then everyone knew his birthday."
YES I won't forget that day! It was so hilarious! Really miss that now.

"Apart from a few mishaps and bad decisions, I would say the holiday has been quite good so far. It's really a huge relief to not be burdened by the O's anymore. If everything goes well, I'll be going to CJ for the first 3 months next year. I have to really breakaway form my "clique-ish" behaviour and go out to make friends. I hope to at least make 3 new friends on the first day. Sounds so much like sims."
Well I did make more than 3 friends on my 1st day. I defnitely have broken away from my clique-ish behaviour! Woohoo!

"Wow, Today's Lit lesson was the best and last Lit lesson ever. Well, we said that we won't type whatever that she said on the blog, so I won't. I'll just say that it was indeed a very fun-filled lesson where we talked about almost everything. It was really great, something that I will truly miss."
I will always miss the awesome lit lessons that I had :)
Monday, January 29, 2007:
"I can't believe that conductor put me in bass. Aurgh, and to think my ex-vocal coach Jacintha told me I was a "warm tenor". Classical singing is sooo different from jazz or pop singing. I will stay in choir till I collect my results. If I remain in CJ, I don't think I will want to remain in choir. I think the classical way of singing will affect my usual style of singing. Better not risk it."
I'm so glad I didn't quit choir. I really enjoy it now :)

Here's the list of the skins that I've had so far (not in order):
1. Original black skin
2. Country Skin
3. Green Nature Skin
4. Brown Nature Skin
5. Disco Skin
6. Coffee Skin
7. Chocolate Skin
8. Snow Skin (current)
I think I left out one more, but I just can't seem to remember. Oh well.
-----
Unsuspecting, the way you cross my mind
Who could've known you'd be so real
But unrelenting, the grip that lives around you, give me a sign
So I can rescue you, and save the day, yeah
[Chorus]
Bring in the rain, bring in the shine
Let it go stop wasting time, I'm calling out to you
And don't chase the sun, don't race the sky
Let it go stop wasting time
And I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
Fascinating, how moments feel sublime
Seems like I'm glowing when you're near
But unavailing, when you pay no mind or you're twisting every other line
Baby say the words I'll rescue you and make you mine
I'm calling out to you
Come rain come shine, stop wasting time
Come rain come shine, you will be mine
Come rain come shine, stop wasting time
Come rain come shine, you will be mine
I'm calling out to you

Thanks to all my readers who visit my blog regularly. I hope you have been entertained by my silly thoughts and contemplations. Hope you will continue to visit and continue to be amused.
Hooray to my 100th post!
What's a celebration without a cake?
As always, I end off with this!

Whoo... sorry for not blogging for such a long time. Have been caught up with lots of stuff.
Been so busy with school. Work load and CCA. Not much time to blog.
School so far is slowly becoming a routine. It's like cycle that repeats itself everyday. It's just work and work and work. Luckily there's T4 to keep my alive.
Sigh, and Natasha has withdrawn from CJ. Another classmate has left us. Somehow, I really miss the old T3, when we had Gabriel, Hui Ming, Vanessa, and Natasha with us. Not saying that the 2nd intake ppl like Cheryl, Zen, and Vanessa should not be here. They rock too. If only we could have T3 + all the new ppl. Oh well... Hope we can all keep in touch though.
We MUST have a class outing despite our busy schedules soon! We MUST! Luo Er is thinking of organising an outing to the zoo next Sunday so keep that day free!
-----
The writer of the last page of 8 Days is damn funny. He ALWAYS makes fun of the MP's daughter, the one who wrote on her blog, "Get out of my elite uncaring face". He'll take every opportunity to use that phrase. Hahahahahaha
-----
Aurgh I failed my econs test! Damn, Econs is really not my strong subject. Have to really work on it.
-----
Something random and funny happened again. Here's a re-anactment
*pencil box drops
*10 minutes pass
*pencil box drops
*10 minutes pass
*pencil box drops
Me: Hey do you notice people always drop stuff in this LT?
Vignesh: *long pause* Not really, but thanks for telling me.
Lol I was so bored during Econs Lecture, had to go and notice these random things.
-----
I wasn't feeling that well today, with a sore throat and all, so I decided not to sing during Choir today. Today was some sort of pep-talk day, where the seniors encouraged us to put in extra effort to acheive the Gold for SYF that we were all yearning for. It's really great to see my seniors being so enthusiastic and determined to get that Gold for SYF. They (especially Andrea) were so fired up today and they really want us to put in effort. I think us juniors appreciate whatever you guys are doing and we will work hard! :) I got a sis in choir already. Lol. Cheryn's my new big sis! Through that, I somhow became Ernest and Adam (I think)'s brother! Haha...
Yah, better go do my homework now. Seeya!

Lol, I'm currently in the compter lab.
We're suppose to do PW research, but I'm too lazy to do so.
I've been so so tired lately. I think it's more of mental and emotional exhaustion rather than physical. The work load is really piling up and I hardly have any time for leisure. I'm using whatever time I have now to blog my life away...
I have to go for Grandaunty and Granduncle's anniversary dinner so Aunty Fong (who reads this blogs sometimes, lol) is coming to pick me up after school. Sigh, should have told my parents that I have to finish a lot of work. Oh well, better honour my word since I told them I would be going. Just have to stay up later today. I"ll probably sleep at like, past 1 today. Have to finish that damn History Research essay and the Korean War Outline.
Here's just a breakdown for my blog visits for the past week. Click on it to make it clearer.
If You can't see it, it hit a all time low on thursday. Not sure why...
Anyway, my PW teacher is patrolling. Better go now.
Seeya.

Wow, I just had a breath-experience just now.
Today I actually decided to embark on a health regime. After being unhealthy for so long, I realised the "error of my ways". Lol.
Anyway, that's not the important issue, though it was one of the factors leading to it.
Before doing my history tutorial, I wanted to de-stress. I was reading this article about the unhealthiness of stress and the bad things that it can cause. Therefore, I put on my earphones and started to listening to Enya, particularly the Lord Of The Rings Soundtrack song, May It Be.
So I was just lying down and listening to it, then I kept remembering Matheus telling me last time that Enya was "satanic" cos of the whole emptying of the mind thing, which I don't really want to elaborate on. The important thing is, that I was so worried about emptying my mind, that I decided to listen to relaxing Christina music, so I wouldn't have to worry about it.
I then selected "Your Grace Still Amazes Me" by Philips, Craig & Dean. I started listening to it and then I don't know why, I just started worshiping in my own way. It was a worship so different from all the past worship sessions that I went for in church. I don't know how to explain it, I could just feel the Holy Spirit moving in me, and it just felt so wonderful.
Not wanting it to stop after the song ended, I selected "When God Ran" by the same artists, and this worship was even better than the previous one. It was just so different and so moving. After the song ended, I just felt so refreshed and rejuvinated.
For a very long period of my life, I have felt very dry and "spirit-less", as though the spirit was not within me. God seemed so distant. I knew he was real yet I felt so distant from him. It was like, I didn't doubt his existence but I felt so far away. I only feared him in the unhealthy way, and didn't have any impactful prayer or worship experiences for quite a long time.
The worship I just had came so suddenly and so unexpected. I think it had to do with this morning. During Religion lesson, I wrote on the prayer request sheet for more faith and preseverence. I didn't really expect much, but my rejuvination came today!
Thank you to whoever it was that prayed for me. If you did pray for me, please tell me so I can thank you. Lol.
After the experience, I decided to quickly blog about it to share it with my dear readers :)
Well I never want to go back to being the self-righteous Christian that I was in my early sec days (Yes Matheus, I finally admit that you're right about that), telling people what to do and stuff. I think I focused so much on that, I drew more and more apart from God.
I sincerely hope that this rejuvination isn't a short term one.
I hope for this post to inspire anyone.
God really works in mysterious ways, he does things at his own timing.
Don't forget that!
:)

Decided to change the skin back to the chocolate one due to the fact that the tagboard can't be accessed when viewed with Internet Explorer.
-----
Anyway, I have been getting so much homework lately!
I could have ripped out all my hair when the teachers kept piling up homework on us. Mel was so stressed today cos of the pre-U sem thing. She was so pissed off with the last minute video thing. Actually, everyone was so stressed up today.
Yesterday, I talked to Ms Soh during choir and she was telling me how terrible our essay outlines were and that she was going to blast us the following day during tutorial.
And she did.
I think it was the worst history tutorial ever. Lol. I think Ms Soh was also a second away from tearing her hair out as well. I could tell how frustrated she was when the class kept asking her about writing a balanced essay. The class was very moody during tutorial too. To sum it all up, it sucked. I think the worst part was when she told those whose work was unsatisfactory to finish it by 2 or they would get detention. Quite insane. Nevertheless, after she witnessed a few people crying ( I shan't say who so as not to embarrass them), Anne asked for an extention and she gave them till monday morning. Well Ms Soh's usually very nice, but I guess today she was just doing her job of reprimanding us.
I wasn't really moody or anything today, just a bit uncomfortable cos some of my classmates were, excluding Jason of course, the perkiest one in class haha. Well I guess we can always count on Jason to lighten the mood ;)
-----
Ms Chia was so funny today. She came in during break to help the 2nd intakers with their maths. Mel and I remained in class to finish lit while she taught them. We chatted with her a little while she taught them. It went something like this:
Ms Chia: Melissa you take KI ah?
Mel: Yeah
Ms Chia: You have to write and write right?
Mel: *laughs* Yeah!
Ms Chia: I see you do now until so
xing ku. Come to science lah, so much easier.
Me: *looks over and laughs*
Ms Chia: *
chants while waving her maths worksheet* Come to science, come to science
*Mel and I both burst out laughing
Ms Chia: *A few seconds later* Eh Samuel you take arts ah? You don't look like those arts students leh. You have the science look.
Me: Science look? Is there such a thing?
Mel: Ms Chia so you're saying he looks like a nerd lah.
Ms Chia: No it's just that arts students are like those kind of wild, funky kind.
Mel: So you're saying that he's not?
Me: *laughs
Ms Chia: *looks exasperated but going to laugh* Melissa, shut up.
It was damn funny... Haha after she said that we were laughing and laughing cos she said it so matter-of-factly. Ms Chia's like one of the most hilarious teachers we have... Lol
-----
We had the feet-washing ceremony today. So Jason washed my feet and I washed his. Most of the people who attend religion class washed each other's feet. It was interesting cos we don't usually do it in my church.
-----
Another funny thing happened today:
Jason: *out loud* Hey does anyone want to go see a movie today?
Anne: *walking past* Jason did you just ask me out for a movie?
Me: Ooooh Jason....
Anne: *turns around and walks to Michele* Michele! Jason asked me out for a movie!
Michele: *after 1 second* AAAAAAH! JASON!!!
I was like laughing so much after that. I think only T4 people would understand the joke.
-----
I think it was at least the 10th time that I told the Britain, Russia and China joke when I was asked by the class to tell it to Ms Soong today while they all yelled the punchline. I guess the jokes are funniest when we are willing to laugh at ourselves. Like Mrs Neo said "We must all learn to laugh at ourselves" which I find very true, although I find it hard most of the time. Lol.
-----
Good Friday's tomorrow. Will do a special post for that. Until then, that's all!
I'll end of with some interesting lyrics to a song which I find very interesting. Take a moment to listen to the song. It's nice.
Riding through the city on my bike all day, 'Coz the filth took away my license.It doesn't get me down and I feel OK,'Coz the sights that I'm seeing are priceless.Everything seems to look as it should, But, I wonder what goes on behind doors. A fella looking dapper - and he's sitting with a slapper, Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore.You might laugh - you might frown, Walking round London town(Chorus) Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh whyWould I wanna be anywhere else? Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh whyWould I wanna be anywhere else? When you look with your eyes, Everything seems nice... But, if you look twice, You can see it's all lies.(Verse 2)There was a little old lady, Who was walkin down the road, She was struggling with bags from Tesco. There were people from the city havin' lunch in the park, I believe that is called 'al fresco'. When a kid came along to offer a hand, But before she had time to accept it, Hits her over the head - doesn't care if she's dead, 'Cause he's got all her jewellery and wallet.You might laugh - you might frown, Walkin round London town. (Chorus) Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh whyWould I wanna be anywhere else? Sun is in the sky oh why, oh whyWould I wanna be anywhere else? When you look with your eyes, Everything seems nice... But, if you look twice, You can see it's all lies.Life, yeah that city life, yeah that city life, yeah that city life... Life, yeah thats city life, yeah thats city life, yeah thats city life. (Chorus) Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh whyWould I wanna be anywhere else? (x4)When you look with your eyes, Everything seems nice... But, if you look twice, You can see it's all lies.When you look with your eyes, Everything seems nice... But, if you look twice, You can see it's all lies.

Wow I have not been blogging for quite some time.
Have been very busy lately, totally no time to blog.
Well actually I did have some time, but I used to it to change my blogskin.
No matter.
School's been so mad, but thank God our timetable has changed to a MUCH better one now. We have no more double or 3 hour breaks (except for the KI people), we end school much earlier on non-CCA days, and it's much less hectic overall. We celebrated Jason's birthday and had a goodbye netball game for Vanessa. Yup Friday was a really great day.
Dinesh went and bought 2 cakes in the morning. One for Jason and one for Vanessa. Both cakes were really good, I must say. So next time you want to buy a cake, buy it from Breadtalk. Ooooh just the thought of it makes me hungry now, even though I ate an enormous burger a few hours ago.
Anyway, we lit both cakes in class and had a mini party. Luckily no teacher walked past or anything. I then proceeded to play Dai-dee (whatever it's spelled) with Mel, Vig, Choy Nam, and Vanessa Ng. School was so slack on that day. Three lessons only. 2 for those who don't take mother tongue. Yup, so we had a last netball game with Vanessa (Foo) as a farewell kind of thing. I couldn't play cos of my appointments later on, so I played cards with the same people+ a few others. It was damn fun. Vanessa Ng was teaching us this game called Slap Jack, which is a little complicated to explain in words now. Anyhow, it was damn fun and Cheryl was so hysterical when she lost. I then taught them the Indian poker thing and it really caught on! Due to the rain, those playing netball stopped and joined us. Soon, the whole class was playing it! Haha, and we had all sorts of dares, like standing at the flagpole and singing the school song.
Dinesh got that dare and he got noticed by a teacher who scolded him( well not really scolded)! Lol!
Yeah then after that Mel asked me if I wanted to go for lunch. Then Anne was like, oh mel and sam ah... scandal. I was like, !!!!
Oei Anne ah... I'm not that kind of person who goes after the attached ones. I'm not so despicable ok! Mel is my friend and nothing more! Let me get that clear! Haha...
I had choir on Friday, so I went to the library to use the computers. Did a little research on "Brave New World", the lit text that we're currently studying.
Choir was ok, did combined sectionals. Nothing much there.
Yesterday was exhausting though. I had a little argument with my mom in the morn cos she told me at the last minute to go and help her do some Chinese thing for her client's will or something like that. In the end, I followed her to the office at around 1030 and went for choir later.
Choir was so much fun! Haha... Yeah it was really enjoyable. I didn't manage to get into tenor, cos Mr Toh said my "technique wasn't there", and will probably only go in after June. The only reason why I want to go to tenor is cos bass is too uncomfortable for me. It really is. The people are really friendly and nice, so that's the one of the reasons why I only asked for a transfer now. Everyone in choir are really nice and friendly though, especially the J2s. I was warmly welcomed into the choir.
Anyway, we surprised Mr Toh by learning the Sarba dance so fast. He was really impressed. I really liked "Ave Maria" and "Sarba dance" cos we did it very well. Yeah, but it was one of the most hilarious choir sessions ever, if not the funniest. I laughed till my stomach hurt cos of the many jokes that Mr Toh made. Damn funny.
After that, I went for worship prac and I was already vocally drained cos of choir. However, I managed to salvage whatever energy I had to practice. Prac went well, Louis and Cher Hao being their usual funny selves.
Now, today.
Today's worship was good, and the feedback given during evaluation was good too. After church, I went out with Martin, Colin, and Yixin to Orchad. We walked around Wisma, Taka, and Paragon cos I wanted to buy clothes and Yixin wanted to buy shoes. In the end, I only managed to get this long sleeved T-shirt, and a nike bottle which I've been wanting to buy for ages. Really enjoyed myself, as I always do during outings. We ended off eating dinner at Carl's Junior before I departed from them to go home to finish my history essay outline.
I just completed most of the outline, and will finish it during break tomorrow.
So tired now...
I really need to sleep soon.
So..
Goodnight.
