ok. here's another random excerpt from my life in 3T. OMG spoilers. after some bout of weird imagination, i decided the best way to remember our class/win the class deco competition would be to design something original. and since i'm a card game fanatic, the best thing i could think of was...

A 3T themed deck of playing cards! *fanfare music plays*

Only problem is, i can't draw for nuts. *fanfare music stops abruptly*

anyway, to make my life easier, i have decided to redraw only the picture cards (K, Q, J), the Ace of Spades, and the Joker, and each card will be representative of someone in the class. i will explain the design soon. anyway, here's the list of cards/people:

King of Spades - Sheng Wei (Monitor)
Queen of Spades - Xin Yan (Assistant Monitor)
Jack of Spades - Brandon (Treasurer)

King of Hearts - Ernest (Biology Rep)
Queen of Hearts - Johnathan (Chemistry Rep)
Jack of Hearts - Mervyn (Physics Rep)

King of Clubs - Teng Chuan (Chinese Rep)
Queen of Clubs - Parry (English Rep)
Jack of Clubs - Dominic (Maths Rep)

King of Diamonds - Manfred (CLE Rep)
Queen of Diamonds - Lin Jin (IT Rep)
Jack of Diamonds - Jack (duh) (Geography Rep)

Ace of Spades - Mr. Koh Siak Peng

Joker - Generic Joker

here is the explanation in general. skip this part if you're lazy to read it.

in taiti, Spades is the biggest, followed by the Hearts, Clubs and then Diamonds. therefore, Spades is the most "important", the "highest" position. similarly, the CEC is the highest position in the class, and just nice there are 3 positions, like there are 3 kinds of court cards. therefore, the King of Spades should be the head honcho, the monitor. similar reasoning for the rest of the Spades cards.

next biggest is Hearts, which are represented by the 3 science reps. heck, our class "name" gives a clue to the importance of these subjects. remember course selection online, there was TRIPLE SCIENCE plus Geog. without the sciences, our class would just be Geog. (rather boring name, isn't it?) the arrangement of big to small in the sciences has been arbitrarily assigned by me.

next, Clubs. The languages and maths reps take up the suit here, as they are the subjects that are not that "important"/noted, but yet we can't live without them. again, rank has been arbitrarily assigned by me.

finally, last but not least, Diamonds. the smallest suit, this category is for the final subject (Geog) and its rep. also, the other reps which contribute but not so much academically are placed here, such as the IT rep. without them, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the wonders of multimedia, would we? so, there is still one place left, any takers? Reps left: PE, CLE, Security.

ahh, the Ace of Spades. the first thing evryone sees wh en they open the deck. similarly, the form teacher is the first person anyone sees when they discover our class misbehaving. the Ace of Spades is usually the most fancy card, so more work has to go into this card to make it look nice.

the joker is usually not used at all, but when called upon can perform an almost unlimited number of actions, such as replacing a lost card, or being the highest card. the joker also gives people a sense of playfulness, unpredictability, and the quiet one most of the time. usually, the joker is drawn in a funny situation or in funny clothes, so forgive me, whoever is placed here, if my drawing doesn't fit your ego.

gosh, i think that's all for now, have to go think of poses and design ideas (colour, details eg. what they're holding, what they're doing etc.) for each card. also need to go observe friends to be able to draw how they look like.

also, i noticed that people don't like to be placed on the queen card. come on, it's just a letter Q on the side of the card. and i'm not going to draw you in a dress and a crown or whatever (not like i can). there is NO OTHER meaning intended.

who knew that designing a deck of cards would be so hard?

Till next post...

as you can probably tell from the blog url, i'm the bio rep to the fastest teacher in the world, ms. joycelene lim. according to her, she has had alot of good bio reps, and i'm expected to follow in their footsteps. this understandably, causes quite a bit of pressure on me. also, i can't quite keep up with the rate at which she goes. once, after collecting one big pile of worksheets, and counting and sorting them out in neat order, i approach her as she enters the classroom to hand it up to her, only to hear her say,

"Ernest, please return them their worksheets, I want to go through."

*faints*

And certain people say I'm always sad. i wonder why. obviously they haven't heard me when I'm with my close friends. i do smile, but some people say that when i smile i look really evil. O.o lols

looking forward to another tennis day with jian wei and others. the last one and first one i had was after Tuesday heats, where 5 or 6 of us had to squeeze into the back of a car. except me. i got the front seat. (haha) anyway, tennis was quite fun, except i played it like badminton, and because of a certain wide angle shot nearly hit the ball out of the court. forgot the tennis ball is VERY bouncy. whoops. went home with Alvin later, and forced him to walk home from my house. exercise is good, so alvin should exercise. (just ignore that fallacy)

looking forward to holidays in 2 weeks, where i can finally go and sleepover at my cousin's house! hi cuz!!>! her house has a great view of rosyth from the window.

ah well. must study hard before my mum will even consider letting me go.

Till next post.

a few weeks ago, when mr. sunny chong left, we were left with a new relief teacher, who our class affectionately refer to as the jing ying teacher. dots. thanks to his random story-telling, class with him is more like MT/CLE than MT.

anyway, he is sort of a good teacher, and we actually learn something. he also accomplished something i haven't seen in other teachers; memorising our CHINESE names in about a week or two. this is evident as some other teachers still need the class seating plan to read our names. we usually sabotage them by changing seats without telling them. hee hee.

anyway, the chinese cct was rather screwy, thanks to the li jie wen da and the zhong he tian kong. haizzz...

biology quiz was easy, and i scored 24/25. there was one person who got full marks though, and he's sitting next to me. not surprisingly, he got GPA 3.8 last year, one of the highest in the class. suaner.

and i'm sorry to use the word, but the philo test was shit. rather weird phrasing of questions, and unclear asking make the hard questions even harder. glad it's over.

next week is the geog, maths and bio test again. time to mug mug mug. oh joy.

arts at the atrium was much better than the last one we had, where And then the Ocean Glows ended with an explosion thanks to the imba bass drum and the great acoustics of the atrium. i must admit i screwed up a bit, at the Trio part to be exact. sorry ppl.

and for napfa training, i got 13 mins for 2.4 km. and that includes walking for half a round. OMG i can't believe it either.

ahh i'm running out of things to say, and it's getting late. gotta go brush up on my subjects and my sarcasm.

Till next post.

ok. abit about me. i LOVE science, all 3, and will not hesitate to jump from wikipedia page to wikipedia page to find out more about some enticing new topic. also, i'm a fan of card games, from standard more well known ones such as Hearts, Blackjack, Daidi, Poker, Uno, Cheat to more obscure ones such as Idiot, Slamwich etc. (ask Wen Da about them). Sorry, i don't play Bridge. Hearts is my current most played card game, as my computer has the software. While you play, some interesting situations crop up, so, here's a quick montage. sorry if they're too small. Ignore the names, as they were created in a moment of spite for my siblings. Don't worry. We're getting on fine now.

Me shooting the moon (whee), one of the best/worst things you can get in Hearts, as this greatly speeds up your victory (or loss).
And the computer shooting the moon. Whoops.

One memorable game, where the computer almost shot the moon, but was thwarted at the last moment. This game is also my high score game, where my score was 3 points! (lower is better.)
Finally, one of the rare occurrences. Sorry if you can't see but anyway, it's a 3-way tie for first place with me and 2 other computers each scoring 77 points. And Stupid Rachel got 107. Lol. Thank the Queen of Spades for ending the game.

I don't really have other pictures, so i guess that's it for this post. (Suffering from writer's block.)
