Encounter with the Photojournalist

by Jonathan in Jonaize on Tuesday August 9, 2005 at 1513hours

Yesterday was my very first encounter with a Photojournalist. It was very cool. Somewhat weird and awkward, but still an experience nonetheless.

So yes, essentially, a SPH Photojournalist (Edwin Koo) came over to take pictures of me any my computer system(s). A freelance journalist for SPH is doing an article on student entreprenurship and was told about Jonaize. (thanks Cheng Kai =D)

I guess the main point here is that I have new found sympathy for those ppl who have to post for shots for the press. Not an easy job. haha.. Another thing is that I found Edwin to be a rather cool. Never thought of Photojournalists as such, as normaly my impression of them used to be one of non-interest.

Heh. Lets see if the article comes out.. haha..

I’ve made my very first payment using my debit card. Didn’t even know my card had the NETS function. Heh, a significant milestone in my life. haha..

Mid Sem Tests

by Jonathan in SP on Wednesday August 3, 2005 at 1727hours

Today concludes my Mid Sem Tests (MST). Got quite an interesting start to the day. I overslept on the bus, and woke up outside Nan Hua Primary School. Knew I missed my stop, so I started on a dunno-how-many-meters race back in the direction I came from. Maths was starting in like 15 mins.

So I continuned running, ( Now if I need to pass my IPPT 2.4 run I know what to think of ) and I would have jolly well ran all the way back if not for finding myself standing (running actually) under the Clementi MRT station.

Takes me 2 mins to get from Clementi to Dover and I had about 10 mins to spare, so I stopped running like a mad dog and acted as if nothing was amiss. Hehe.. Needless to say, I reached on time. =)

Moral of the story: _Always_ plan to be at least half an hour early for your exams.. hehe..

Back to MST, I had Java Practical on Monday. Think it was quite ok. So thats that. I could actually complete the Maths paper today, goodbye bad Amaths memories!! UWOS (Unix Windows operating systems) was ok. Got 88 / 100 (Online Test, marked on the spot). Somewhat dissapointed, was hoping for at least a 90, but I’ll take what I’ve got.

Now going to relax a little then start studying again for Final Sem papers.

Its happen-IP-ng…

by Jonathan in Education, Victoria School on Monday August 1, 2005 at 2227hours

Ok. This post is about IP again. I only have one request for those reading this whom are considering IP; that is to not base any decision on what I’m about to say (technically type) here.

Its begining.. The Sec 2s I know are going or thinking of going for IP. Can you feel the talent slipping away from VS? I can.

I’m not too sure about how many prefects are considering IP, but badminton has a staggering 5+ at last count. Thats like almost the entire level. The best of the best, migrating down Marine Parade Road.

Its like these juniors are seriously good. If I were to play a match against them when I was in Sec 2, they’ll trash me flat hands down. Still applies for xuanhan, since he still can trash me..

Sigh, I’m worried about the team. Yes, its selfish. I know. But what the heck. Times are achanging. Change is good. I guess.

Bloody IP Program. Ok. Forget I just said that. Thanks.

Sigh.
