one word, respect.

Do not be nosy of other people's business. Ever heard of MIND-YOUR-OWN-BUSINESS before? yea so try to hide that low self-esteem of yours, really not necessary.
oh btw,I dont need TUITION to have naturally SMART BRAINS. peace!

If you chinese people wants to be racist, please remind yourselves on whose land you are living on-A MULTI RACIAL COUNTRY.
Haven't anything the government's been trying to teach ever get into your head?

Patience has its LIMITS, dont ever cross the line.
Now that i just had to post it here just means you went overboard, lady.

P.S i had to write this down because i feel that Singapore lacks of respect towards other races. what happen to all the RACIAL HARMONY thingy the government's been teaching us eversince i was born? if you wanna be racist, surrender yourself to the police.

i justify that i did not do anything wrong/crime or anything that breaks the law of the beautiful RACIAL HARMONY Singapore above. if you're pissed, that just goes to show that you're GUILTY and you know it. (:

I have No Idea

Hellosx Humansx!!

Okay... Changed my blog skin again... Cant find anything interesting that suits my taste well so i have decided to use the default templates as my last resort.

Common Test 1 has ended... A Great Relief eventhough i have much to regret about.
First was, not trusting my first guts and the reason why i hate to check my work... first answer correct, check, doubted, edit and then wrong... Phiiisssh...Lost 2 marks for that in Chemistry Paper... Second, why didnt it cross my mind? I memorised it but didnt thought of it. what the hell. Again lost 2 marks for Physics...
Maths... if its wrong it must have been careless.
English... always having the problem of choosing a question... and forgetting the format.
Geography... was fine... yeah...i practically wrote the notes here and got to know that some actually read it. hahax
Social studies...hmm i manage to complete both questions and i hope that spells PASS.
Whatever it is, i studied and did my best.

Cats and Roses

CNY reunion with beloved Squadmates soon!!
Miss them a lot!!!

i want to play guitar!!!

Geography: Types of Natural Vegetation

Natural vegetation: plants that grow with little or no human interferance.
Ecosystem: community of living organisms
Biome: the living part of an ecosystem

Forests: Tropical Rainforest, Temperate Deciduous Forest, Temperate Coniferous Forests
Grasslands: Tropical Grassland and Temperate Grassland
Deserts: Hot desert and Cold desert  (tundra)

Climate: the atmospheric condition of an area over a considerable period of time
               ~Temperature and Precipitation
Global Distribution of Natural Vegetation: closely related to the latitudes.


Tropical Rainforest:
-tropical equatorial climate
-high temp: about 27 dc
-high rainfall: above 1500mm
-constant throughout the year
-between 10 d N & S of the EQ
-Amazon basin, Congo Basin and SEA Basin

~Structure of Forest
[] 5 Vertical Layer
[] Emergent Layer: 30-50m. Crowns above the canopy layer
[] Canopy Layer: 15-30m. Umbrella-shaped crowns, wide and shallow, forms a continuous leaf cover.
[] Understorey Layer: 6-15m. narrower, oval-shaped crowns, grow where gaps in the canopy layer allow sunlight to pass through.
[] Shrubs layer: up to 6m. Tree saplings and woody plants
[] Undergrowth Layer: Max 5m. Grasses, mosses, ferns and fungi. Very little sunlight reaches this layer.

Epiphytes: Bird's Nest Fern and orchids. Grow on trees for physical support. Rainwater and decaying leaves provides nutrients and water for the plant.
Lianas: Thick woody vines that wind around trees to reach for sunlight. Up to 90m in length.
Parasitic Plants: strangling fig wraps itself around the trunk of its host tree to compete for space, sunlight and nutrients. Cause the death of the host tree.
Fungi thrive in dark, moist places conditions. Grows and feeds on decomposed fallen logs.
Leaf litter forms a layer of humus.

~Diversity of plant species
750 tree species and 1500 other plants species per hectare.

~Density
Extremely dense. Grows very closely to one another. Abundant vegetation.
Due to high temp. and rainfall throughout the year.

~Leaves
Evergreen, constant high rainfall.
Do not shed leaves.
Broad to maximise surface area for photosynthesis.
Waxy with drip tips, to allow rainwater to drain off easily. Prevents harmful bacteria from growing.

~Flowers and Fruits
Produce fruit throughout the year.
Colourful and sweet-smelling, to attract insects for pollination and animals for seed dispersal due to the still air below the canopy.

~Bark and Branches
Thin and smooth barks.
Branches only at the top 1/3 portion of trunks.

~Roots
Shallow and spread widely as they do not need to reach deep into the soil for nutrients.
Buttress roots, to support the great weight of trees.


Tropical Monsoon Forest:
-tropical monsoon climate
-high temp: about 26 dc
-high rainfall: over 1500 mm
-distinct wet and dry seasons.
-between 10 d & 25 d N & S of the EQ
-Mangalore

~Structure of Forest
[] 3 Vertical Layer
[] Canopy Layer: 15-30m. More spread out.
[] Understorey Layer: 6-15m.
[] Undergrowth: Max 6m. Bamboo thickets and grasses grow densely during wet, but sparse during dry season.

~Diversity of Plants
Around 200 species of plants per hectare. Due to inconsistent rainfall

~Density
Abundant and more spreaded. Crowns do not interlock. Dense undergrowth. Luxuriant during wet season.

~Leaves
Deciduous, shed leaves during dry season to minimise water loss through transpiration.
Waxy with drip tip.
Narrow leaves of bamboo plant.

~Flowers and Fruits
Bear fruit during dry season while they are leafless.

~Bark and Branches
Thick and coarse to protect the tree from heat and dryness during dry season. Withstand extreme heat from natural forest fires.
Branches are located at the middles of trunks. Sunlight is able to reach the lower parts of the forest.


Mangrove Forests:
-tropical climate
-coastal areas
-high temp: about 20 dc-30dc
-high rainfall: 1000-2000mm
-between 23.5 dc N & S of the EQ

~Structure of Forest
[] 3 Horizontal Zones
[] 2-40m. Average height: 15m. Muddy soil cannot support tall trees
[] Coastal Zone: nearest to the sea. Adapted to saltwater. Flooded during high tide. Breathing/aerial roots. Avicennia and Sonnaratia
[] Middle Zone: Prop/stilt roots. Rhizophora
[] Inland Zone: Least tolerant to saltwater. Knee-like roots. Bruguiera

~Diversity of plants
HALOPHYTES

~Density
Dense and luxuriant due to high temp and rainfall. Continuous canopy, compete for sunlight.

~Leaves
Evergreen. No seasonal change.
Broad with drip tip. Allow water to flow off easily.
Thick and leathery. Reduce water loss through transpiration.
Salt secretors, Avicennia: secretes excess salt on their leaves which are removed by wind or rain.
Salt filtrators, Sonnaratia, Rhizophora, Bruguiera: absorbs salt and removes excess salt by storing it in old leaves which then fall off.

~Flowers and Fruits
Colourful to attract insects for pollination.
Buoyant, float on water to be washed away to a new coastal area.
Fruits of the Rhizophora germinate while they are still on their parent tree and drop directly on the ground to take root. Elongated structure with sharp tips.

~Roots
Aerial roots exposed duting low tide, allows to take in oxygen.
Prop/stilt roots provides support for the trees on muddy soil.
Kneed roots provides support for trees on soft soil.


Coniferous Forest:
-cool temperate continental climate
-60 d & 70d N of EQ.
-experience seasonal change
-summer: 21 dc
-winter: -40 dc
-precipitation:  300-635mm throughout the year.
-Scandinavia, USA

~Structure of Forest
No distinct layer. Grow generally uniform height (20-30m). Grow close together.
Little undergrowth. Low amount of sunight.

~Diversity of plant species
Only a few. Pine, spruce and fir. Trees grow in pure stands or a mix of 2-3 species in an area.

~Density
Low temp and precipitation cannot support dense vegetation.

~Leaves
Do not shed leaves.  So that photosynthesis can still take place whenever temp rises above 6 dc.
Needle-like leaves have small surface areas that help to reduce water loss through transpiration. Store water for use during winter.

~Flowers and Fruits
Trees bear cones, part of the reproductive system. Female cones produce seed while male cones produce pollen. Dispersed by wind or animal.

~Bark and Branches
Thick barks to protect them from long cold winter. Flexible branches that slope downwards to enable snow to slide off easily.
Conical shape of trees also helps them to withstand strong winds.

~Roots
Trees have shallow, spreading roots which enable them to absorb water from melting snow.

makan, makan and more makan

Shiok ar!!! Today, went to Clarice's house after school of Chinese New Year celebration... She fed us with all the sweet stuffs and kuihs...their kuihs are almost the same as ours...Layered cake, pear, sweets and drinks... Too full after having our lunch in school...And back to school for NPCC.
Looked for Sec 1s, taught them basic drills and stuffs started to be harsh towards them. Blearghxx...
Well thats my style.

Then anyway... had a short talk with Ms James, she is really nice. Kind of miss her being my teacher because at least she cares. Met up with dearest Priya after NP... Chit-chat, catching up on her current affairs. Boys-studies-stress-cats-squadmates-kids-home sweet home.

Reach home, blablabla and eat SUP TULANG, woohoo!!! Damn shiok!! Yesterday had Pizza and today this, i wont be surprise if i actually get fat...oopsiee.

Now, learning how to play Use Somebody-Kings of Leon  on the guitar. Getting the hang of it. A good start for a newbie like me. Greatt!!! Off i go now. :D

Go study luhh!!

Ay Yaw!! Humansx!!

Percy Jackson is a real good show. Though some stuffs doesnt make sense, but drowning into the show is really painless. I  feel great after that. And i want more POPcorns!!! : P

Exams are this Friday!! Haiyah!! PANIC AT THE CLASSROOM!!!
DONT WASTE TIME! After some time that big quote pasted on the front wall, makes me shivers.
And i find myself, changing habits. Now i prefer to study at night. My once enthusiasm to write down notes are fading. I prefer to write less think deeper more.
I realise that i should learn to embrace Social Studies and start LOVING IT...

Sometimes i feel like i have switched souls with my brother...
He is getting more and more hardworking. Getting more of the spotlight. Being more enthusiastic.
Whereas, Me, im going slack, and not anymore of the spotlight and aint any more enthu.
The people in NPCC are different. Less of those shiok people!! Like my SQUADMATES!!
And i have to admit, NPCC is getting boring day after day. The only thing that interest me is PDS, the only challenging thing there is and not to forget Sec 1's, our future, because no offence the current batch of Juniors especially some knows no respect and are less reliable...haiishh
I guess, im just too tired and really cant be bothered anymore. My time has past, and now its my brother's turn.
And i am so PROUD OF MUHAMMAD KHIDHIR BIN KAMIR BIN KAYAT BIN KANAWI!!!
Yesh!! That is how you spell his name to all you admirers of him.

Tip: If you like him, be more friendly, because this one guy, doesnt socialise he knows only people who make an effort to make him know you.

Will it kill you to take it slow?

Yay!!! Blogging...

Interesting and non-interesting stuffs going on.

Lets take a few steps back into History.
14th February 2010
Special request by Mum that Me and Bro accompanied her to a Wedding Celebration at Woodlands...
The wedding card states the names of the Groom and Bride, the address, the map but not the bus that leads us to the place. Righttt... Took Mrt to Woodlands, intended to take the taxi from there to the venue but hell rightt, taxi stands there were like taxi stands in a Ghost Town, hardly see any taxis... Didnt waste any time, went down to the bus interchange and there lies the Great Map of Woodlands. okayyyyy....looked at it... And tadaa!!! We saw which bus stop we should alight and what bus to take. Isnt that great??!! Okayy!!! If only i could input a sound that plays the moment we were riding the bus...
Look left and look right. Looking out for the block numbers... And.... we missed the bus stop. Dropped at the next bus stop and reverse direction....
Finally!!!! Walk to find the block. But it was surprisingly quiet.
But then smarty pants Hyriah says why not we go upstairs...?? And there we go... Feels like an amazing race...
Eat drink eat drink then ciao... Waited at the nearest bus stop which only has one bus. And at the bus stop there were a few others... Waited and 15 minutes has past. And a bus came... Mum alerted us, then suddenly everyone else was standing...And the most cruel thing was the bus didnt even stop it was a OFF SERVICE bus. The next bus came but like the previous one. Then forget it. Bought ourselves a drink thanks to the humid weather that sucks up all the hydrates that we barely have. Went to the initial bus stop we stopped at.
And there lies an old man sleeping with his mouth wide open and like nobody's business. Funny thing is, he sleep but he doesnt move I made a comment in malay, but i said something like "He sleeps but he doesnt move at all, i wonder if he ever fell from the bench...could he be dead??" At my last word, he moved!! "Does he understand my language?" ooppsiee... then nevermind... the weather was scorching hot and my brother good heartedly fan that old man with my mum's hand fan. Everyone at the bus stop was laughing seyh...haha
Few minutes later, the bus came... Before that we made an effort to wake him up... "Oi oi, wake up lah, bus come already." In the bus cant stop laughing... "Bus come so late until the apek fell asleep."

Head home, stopped at McD for a while with friends... they were studying...


15th February 2010
Woken up by the sound of the Chinese road band... What was it really called anyway?
Cant sleep again after that. Nevermind... Started my studying for CT1.
All the way until afternoon.
Seriously, studying social studies never fails to make you sleepy.
Reading but nothing goes into my head. Change subject, Physics, Maths, Geog. Practically all the subject in one day. Damn tiring.
But i was going really slow.
Slow and steady. This year is an important year, stressful year. Ironically i worked hard last year for this year. Bleargghx
Better slow and steady rather than sprinting and get tired earlier. Right??
At least i still studied.

16th February 2010
Going out to watch movie with family!! Yayy!! After so long...
When everyone is a grown up, its hard to get everyone together.
Left only me and bro in our teens. The young ones...

Valentines day??

I dont celebrate Valentine's day. I cant understand why some Muslims out there make it into such a big deal...Dont they know??

Its history leads back to the Christian Priest Valentine. Its is said that once upon a time, the Roman Emperor, disallowed their men to get married reason being married men did not make good as a soldier. But then, this Priest Valentine had secretly performed marriage ceremonies...And he was arrested... At one time, the Emperor tried to persuade the Priest to converting to Roman paganism in a bid to save his life instead the Priest also tried to make the Emperor convert to Christianity. Both failed.

Instead of celebrating Valentine's day on the day itself... why not celebrate Lovers' day before or after?
At least that makes you look less like a fool about not knowing the meaning or the purpose of the celebration.

Priya!!!

I read Priya's blog and i was touched...
Im sorry about the blog. No intentions of blocking anyone from my blog. But my blog looks ugly with the background like dont know what...cant even read...

I Love My Priya!!!

And im happy for you!!!

Happy that you are happy in school!!!

That is what school should be right? Fun! (how i wish i could say that boldly.)

Grudge?

Hello people!! So sorry for the blog private stuff.... Something went wrong with my blogskin and i had to replace it but i just cant find any spare time to do that. So im just using my previous skin...

Anyway, since im on the computer, like finally... Maybe i will just blog a little bit.

A lot has been happening to me quite lately. And all i did was to let the matters rest without solving it yet.

Just want to say a few words...especially for someone whom i think still has a problem with me after all this while...
Why dont you just let go of the past? Just let go of whatever that has happened between us in the past. Why hold the grudge and hatred? After all, i did. I let go. I dont hate you. I dont blame you either for the mistrust, suspicion, tension and hate. Eventhough i still cant believe it, its like being stabbed in the back but then i dont care that much. Now that, you are with someone new, you are happy and i assume you have moved on. Then just forget everything. I thought we cleared things out between us or was all that just pretense?? But then again, i dont care. I just thought you should know that im happy for you anyway and i forgive and forget. Just hope you would to. Case close, after this i dont bother.



And people, dont judge people without even getting to know them. Because everytime you think you know that someone it is always the other way.  Dont judge people just because of some conflict you had in the past.
And to you, you dont know me. You only see me at my worst when greed took control of me. I was protecting what was mine at that time. Human-Greed. But im sure if you had took an extra step to knowing me better i am never the kind of person you think i am. PEACE :)


Off i go for Vampire Diaries...

 IGNORE THIS POST, ITS NOT VALID ANYMORE. READ LATEST POST.


Eiiissshhh. I thought you were good, the nice polite one. But i guess not?? Tigers have permanent stripe that can never be altered even when you try hard.
If you have GOOD time management... then why are you struggling to do your homework?? Despite that, you make people wait for you. You took  15 mins to change to what? --Pt kit?? And by the way, do you know whats the meaning of respect? Dudette, who is the authority then?? I dont care whatever reasons you have, but when you are given instructions you jolly-well abide it. And just admit it you were late. And i have all the right to take actions, but did i? I just gave you a simple short advice that might sound like a warning. Dont have to be so brusque.  And since you can choose to do anything you want if you want to then why didnt you?? Why didnt you spare yourself the nag from me then?

What is true friendship? A true friend is someone who loves you unconditionally and who has always and will always be there for you. Someone who forgives you every time you screw up . ... True friendship demands total honesty. Being honest with God can be scary, because it means that you have to be honest with yourself.

I suck at being a friend...

Down with flu and God-knows what else...

OPuckYou

Why should i live up my life to your expectations?
Why should i live up my life to satisfy your wants and your needs?
You are not even my mother or father!!
I dont know why i even bother to bother.
Mygawd. Give me some space to breathe, Yaw??

Stop putting me in a bad position.
Making me feel bad if i were to decide either way.
OMummymummymummy!!!
Help me pleeeeaaassseee.......
I hate to hurt your feelings and i hate hurting my own feelings!!

Anyways, Priya you are dearly welcomed. See carebear, see me okay?? Fat hope for me right??
And enjoy school lah! :)

I never do any of my homework... im gonna be a deadskunk.

It was January back then but now its February :)

Had a great February start... Yeah right... Lots and lots of homework piled up... and piling up. Yeapp that includes my maths test paper 2 and oh by the way paper 1, i planned to fail it and then again i have SS essay, English essays and Chemistry test and more to come i feared... Singaporean students are equivalent to stressed students. Sometimes i thank God for choosing Singapore as my motherland, a disaster-free country but i just wish it had been an easier life for me...

I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as he turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like it was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor


After all this why
Would you ever wanna leave it
Maybe you could not believe it
That my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you will ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
