In a heartbeat, I'll be there for you.
In a heartbeat, no one else will do.

My life revolves around NDP for now, seriously it's a fucking chore to go to the floating platform every week. Listening and hearing the same songs and watching the same performance over and over again is so agonizing. Well one more month to the big day of our country and then it's over.

It's been a well since I felt sick and my immune system finally broke down due to massive binging on alcohol for the past weeks, that is not good. Temperature rose after PT on monday and i chose to self-medicate instead of getting ATT C because i don feel like going home, anyway stay in camp also sleep, go home also sleep might as well stay in camp :/

It's so distressing to know that when you're at your lowest, you tend to break down easily.

I want my bike license so badly! And they just have to implement this new rule recently that we have to clear our theory before we can start our practical. So basically i'm stucked, god dam it.
Traveling would be so much easier and i would definitely zhng my bike, the exterior only :D

I was thinking about this on my way home today and guess wad? My dad talked to me suddenly, like real sudden about that and he asked how much a bike cost *hint hint* HAHA! i guess he's gonna the least subsidize my future bike, i was so exhilarated!

He went on talking about entry to a university and I shared with him that I will work first after I ORD before studying. He told me that he and sis would help pay for my fees first and my heart felt warmth after a very long time. I swear to god that I would work doubly hard for my degree for them.

Unspoken love isn't love until it's said.

I just finished my combat shoot and got my marksman which is worth 200 bucks woo. This is the last time i will be shooting with live rounds but i had fun and this is the kind of experience you can get serving the army, maybe other then becoming a terrorist.

I look like a malay now with short hair and spikes in the middle. I thought it would suit me and would really like to try something new but HECK! I look weird. Nevertheless I can wear a cap if i get more negative feedbacks, rawr!

Oh and I watched pirates of the Caribbean yesterday, it was so freakin awesome! Captain Jack sparrow is still as amazing as the past few series and I'm definitely waiting for the next one. More movies to catch that will be showing in the next few months, niceeeee.

Sometimes, you have to follow your heart if you don't want to lose your mind.

dilemma

2011-05-18T12:27:00.002+08:00

I'm back to this little corner of mine! Looks like in life you have to go through tons of sticky situations. What really puzzled me is that sometimes your mind and heart don't seem to agree with each other. Have you ever felt this way before?

Well most people will just say just follow your heart, it will lead you to your answers. I did previously and the results was horrendous. Using your mind on the other hand is a little bit different. You use logical reasoning to try and make a decision or solve a problem which sadly kills your brain cells.

They say Pisces rule by their heart. Sorry I gotta apologize because recently been quite a believer of horoscope so bear with me.

I might be an asshole at times, pardon my language but I always think before I act and hurting people isn't my forte unless that bugger started it >: I tried to be a badass before, wanted to play with people feelings and be a self-centered bastard but i guess my humane side forbids me.

Day Five.

2010-12-31T18:59:00.002+08:00

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you

The year is coming to an end very soon, let's move on.

Day Four.

2010-12-30T02:43:00.002+08:00

Maybe what everyone says is true. We are not meant to be together, friends will do? :/

COME ON JAMES YOU CAN DO IT!

Day Three.

2010-12-29T22:08:00.002+08:00

It's been three days already.

You have no idea how sucky i feel.

Whenever I turned on my computer, I would log on to facebook and the very first thing I do is to go to your wall. I regret deleting my twitter account hoping I would not see updates of your life and maybe just maybe forget everything, how foolish.

And that day when you send me that very cold message on msn, I didn't know what to reply you and I chose to run away from the problem. How I wish I could tell you how I feel then but I'm so afraid, afraid of making things worse.

You used to smile when you saw me, hug me for no reason, talk to me without any conditions and I miss that.

Day Two.

2010-12-28T20:01:00.003+08:00

I’ll think of you in the morning when I wake up to wash up, lace on my boots, button up my uniform and prepare to go to camp.

I'll think of you on my journey to the other half of Singapore while playing my favourite songs on my mp3.

I'll think of you when I'm doing pre-checks on the huge vehicle with my hands all dirty before moving out.

I'll think of you while driving around Singapore with my instructor and vehicle commander who are sleeping beside me.

I'll think of you when going through tons of obstacles that send my vehicle swaying from side to side in the forests.

I'll think of you when driving in the dark at night, checking my mirrors every second and at a safe speed to keep my instructor mouth shut.

I'll think of you when I sign my name, ready to book out.

I'll think of you again on my long journey back home, from Mandai to Tampines.

I'll think of you while lying on my bed before I fell asleep unknowingly due to fatigue.

And I wonder, do you miss me as much as I do?

Day One.

2010-12-27T20:13:00.002+08:00

I'm feeling so terrible now. I thought I was strong and brave enough to let go of everything but why do I still think of her? She's in my mind the whole day and I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me. The thought of her takes my emotions on a roller coaster ride and the question always came back to me, what should I do?

I miss her hysterical laughter that will come out of nowhere.
I miss her randomness which never fails to amaze me.
I miss her late night messages where she whines to me about her work.
I miss her attempts to talk to me in chinese and she always claims she can speak well.
I miss her straightforwardness where we can talk about anything under the sun.

I miss her so badly :(

disengaged

2010-08-28T00:55:00.002+08:00

You know I know how
To make em stop and stare as I zone out
The club can't even handle me right now
Watchin you I'm watchin you we go all out

I DON WANNA LEAD AN ARMY LIFE!

This is what going through my head right now after booking out at the wee hours of the night and I have to return the next night because I've regimental duties. Sounds cool eh regimental duties sio but that basically means I've to guard my camp.

I felt so disengaged with the world right now, coming out of my turtle shell only during weekends not having enough time to catch up with the outside world. It's so fucking mundane that I really wished that I never come out at all. I can't even celebrate my friend's birthday, learn something new or even socialize.

On the other hand I feel so proud wearing green and able to learn something ordinary folks can't even touch. I'm obliged by military law and I'm sorry I can't disclose wad I'm learning on my 'personal space' where if I do so, I'll be charged.

Talk about [S]erve [A]nd [F]uck off, if you get what I mean.

ignominy

2010-07-05T02:35:00.002+08:00

Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute it's love
And suddenly it's like a battlefield

How long has it been peeps, 5 months? Well i'm back but not for long because i'm having my block leave now before I get posted to a new unit in national service. Sucks but what to do, we have to 'defend' our nation you know.. Doesn't sound noble eh? Haha but I just wanna get it over and done with.

Life in military ain't fun, you can't do this, can't do that and many more can't. I'm glad that I've passed the toughest days in army which is life as a recruit. You get scolded for no reason, you can't have many privileges well basically you're a dog lah! On the flip side, I've actually benefited from it too like becoming fitter *ahem* and also have some monthly allowances and free medical services all day round in government hospitals :D

Previously i'm a shy door mouse, really not wanting to be outspoken and just following the motion but I've then felt that we only have this one chance to live in this world, why not live it to the fullest? I believe we should try whatever shit we can try now before regretting when our hair turned white. This way you would have known that well I've did what I wanted, no regrets left.

Do what you feel is best for you, be true to yourself.

She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind

I'm gonna make full use of my time to update weekly before I get confined in the tiny island of Tekong. YES, I WILL BECOME A DOG OF MINDEF IN MARCH. Negatives aside, I'm not really looking forward nor anticipating it. Oh come on, who will want to get fucked upside down and do endless of physical training.. any sound mind will not do it.

CNY shopping is almost done and have been going down to town quite frequently, the transport fare hurts D: I begun to realise I took the student fare for granted in the past, how I wish I will still be listening to two beeps when tapping my ez-link.

"Suffer and enjoy success or taste failure and suffer?"

Many would choose the first but young peeps nowadays can't take hardship huh, something is still missing from my life......

2010-01-08T01:55:00.002+08:00

My shaken heart like a wind
My heart vanished like smoke
It can't be removed like a tattoo
I sigh deeply as if a ground is going to cave in
Only dusts are piled up in my mind

Talk about dusts..phew it has been ages since I last came to this little corner of mine. Well..I went to temasek poly open house today for i don know wad and people start to question me whether I knew I will fail my A levels but no.

Lately, many around me bought an iphone. Being able to surf facebook and youtube on the go is seriously dam cool and adding on are those cool games you can download for FREE. I'm addicted to Jubeat currently. It's actually a arcade game where is similar to those drum mania or whatever you call it game and you have to follow the beat. Aiya.. just go to the arcade at century square and look for a console with 16 boxes, that's Jubeat ;D

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

Jack of all trade, master of none. I became a so-called telemarketer on friday, calling people to do some stupid, fucked up government survey. I CHEATED! I was supposed to follow the list but I called Alan and Joel instead, and bloody hell the list I got was all Indians, some can't even speak english >:

After that, went to OCH again. Boring sia that place, didn't have any paranormal encounters but saw lots of transvestites in Changi. They are more scary then OCH I swear! We got caught by the same police twice that night due to my underage friends, nabei follow us from Tampines to Changi.

Today went to Armara Sanctuary Resort Centre in Sentosa for some wedding banquet. Nope, I'm not invited but I went there as a waiter. They said my hair was too blonde, fuck they should have seen the colour before this, I swear they will keep their mouth shuts after that. So bo bian because of my Cloud Strife hair colour, I was told to stay in the backlane where all the chefs were.

Being in a hotel line is good, do you know that the chefs sometimes cooked extra dishes and where do these go to? MY STOMACH ;D Scallops, Chicken, Abalone, Mushrooms all we can eat, yum yum.

I don feel like working anymore, is just like all these part-time jobs are really too part-time. Like do awhile only, fucking sian D:

aphorism.

2009-11-30T04:44:00.002+08:00

I'm still G Dragon O: Because the hairdresser wasn't there when I went back, how lucky. Macus made a wasted trip with me because he wanted a haircut too and so we went back to tampines to meet the guys for soccer! It was pouring when we got back but we proceed with our plan instead and like magic the rain stopped soon after, lucky +2 :D

Met the mov dudes at simei after that and everyone was like "woah ah beng uhhh!", "nice hair!" Fuck! I'm seriously gonna change my hair colour, it's like giving me lots of trouble :( I don't want to be a ah beng lahh and my brows are still black and with my blonde hair, it's very very weird t.t

Life is so dull without youuuuu....... ahahahahahahahaha

2009-11-27T06:04:00.003+08:00

The first week after A's has just ended, phew really enjoyed myself :) I dyed my hair on Saturday and boy the outcome wasn't wad I really wanted, now I look like G Dragon. Korean songs are hitting the coast of almost every country in the world!

I'm hooked on to Taeyang's Wedding Dress.You guys should seriously start listening to Korean songs for a change and maybe you will fall in love with them like me :D

Oh gosh, I'm shrinking man t.t My weight just hit a deep low of 59kg, have no idea why am I losing weight when I hardly exercise at all. No more G Dragon, hello to new hair colour!

2009-11-19T04:52:00.005+08:00

Didn't get a wink of sleep last night, probably because there are too many human geography stuffs i'm unsure of! Well, at least now i'm ready for the paper at 8am hehe. Not feeling sleepy at all, due to the over dosage of caffeine i've been taking.

Look at how the A levels has caused me to have an unhealthy lifestyle, please do not go to a JC if you don't want to die young. 2 more papers left before I can be free and just eat, play and sleep all day long, jealous ehh :)

It's 5am now, gotta get ready for school soon.. BYE!

I have got this rising urge of anti-colonialism after the History paper, screw you Cambridge. I kept mentioning Burma in my essay(British colonized Burma before WW2), scrutinizing every single evil deed that they committed there, hoping that they get my message.
The only way to console myself is that moderation can save me, hoping that some bad-ass essays got lost on their way to Britain.

I am aiming for an A for my H1 math tmr. YEA GO ON AND LAUGH, I expected that. AIM HIGH GOT WRONG MEH! I love math, ignore my previous ranting of math is useless heehee.

Well the A levels are here so I don't have to countdown to it anymore instead, 11 days to the big F. It's not fuck, it's FREEDOM! sweeeeet :)

Hey guys, 6 more days to the big examination that I've been preparing for 2 years. I'm like so eggcited on one hand because I can finally break free from MOE but on the flip side, afraid that I might not do well. My biological clock is screwed up, I will sleep at 5am and wake up in the afternoon. How to go for exam like that! >:

Wish me luck please, I NEED IT :(

I'm so tempted to access facebook now but but it's a major distraction to my preparations for my A levels. It has been 4 hours and I'm so proud of myself , NICE ONE LAH!
Wonder how long will I last, bah shall see how it goes heehee.
I couldn't find the history 10-years series in popular, the pathetic A levels section is filled with physics, physics and more physics. This is pure discrimination, what about us arts students t.t

Did I mention I didn't go for the nike human race even though I bought the shirt from Haikal HAHA, anyway 14 more days to the big A.

You got me deeper than deep and I'm constantly blinded
I'm running around but there's no place to hide
I start to talk in my sleep, our souls are divided
Why can't they forgive me these demons inside

There's only math left for my pre-As, and my pure maths is like soooo sucky :(
I think there's a vast difference between the Arts and Science stream, when you study content-heavy subjects like History and Geography, you find that you know the concepts leh then you will feel happy after revising for awhile.
For technical subjects like math or physics, die die must practice. The application is way more then the theories, never practice is like killing yourself.
This is just my 2-cents, 22 more days to the big A

I wanna learn dancing after my As :]

Apparently, asking your friends to drink a diluted hot chocolate from MacDonald is possible.. with just 10 bucks. Nah, nobody drank it in the end as we found out from Time magazine that people can die from diarrhea, eew much.

Am pretty broke right now, the school is leeching my money >: what's the $25 graduation package for man and I joined this year Nike HumanRace, well maybe not to break my limits but for the experience and the goodie bag! No time for training, too busy... just too busy.

This week is one hella of a week! 4 STAR period cramped in one week. Monday I just did a full 3 hour math paper, today 4 DRQs for geography, tomorrow there is another 3 hour history paper and then to end it off nicely, I have another test on Friday for economics.

All the best for peeps taking their promos! I've been through it and came out alive HAHA.

Just a picture taken long ago, actually is just on my birthday this year. Well my sun decided to give me the best present that i can ever received in my whole entire life.. a rainbow!

Karaoke session with macus and philbert yesterday, yes just the three of us and with less people snatching the microphone, we still find the 4 hours insufficient D: The funniest thing that made my day was when we just entered our room, we heard shouting from somewhere which we assumed the ruckus is caused by a group of females singing, or should i say shouting "I DON'T WANT A BOYFRIEND" from some Jolin Tsai song. I can't help it but this little things that you encounter unintentionally in life can make my day haha.

Happy and disappointed are the emotions of the day, now that's life for you. JIAYOU!

I really wondered, how come I always couldn't get to sleep one day before the start of any examinations. I really tried to hypnotize myself to the extent of counting sheeps but nah, couldn't do it. I ate drowsy pills, not working too. I tossed and turned for at least one hour I believe before unknowingly falling asleep and the next thing I know, I have to wake up like NOW.

GP was alright and I did the question on whether the next few decades, Asia will dominate. Obviously yes and I talked about abundance of labour (think China), political stability (think S'pore) and can't remember the last point. Just bullshitted my way through with some random facts to support my arguement blah blah.

History's tomorrow,damn I don't know why I suddenly suck at History but I will try my very best to memorize everything that happen from 1945 to 2000 in my brain by tonight and a slight revision tomorrow morning and off I go, TO VICTORY!

I can't post pictures on blogger, again. A blog without pictures is like Rome without pizzas, okay I tried to make it rhyme, obviously I failed. Maybe I should join haikal at tumblr, sorry blogger but if things don't return to normal soon I might abandon you.

I have to watch my words from now on because someone of higher authority *ahem* knows my blog haha. Are you reading this sir? But making the blog private is so redundant, it defeats the whole purpose of a blog! Unless you want to write something so personal that ohhh noo, you guys can't read it because I am afraid that you don't deserve to know such stuffs. I strongly believe that blogging should be done.. liberally and this form of new media is a good way of expressing your thoughts that even our prime minister is encouraging it.

Political sensitive content or any that can destroy our beloved multi-racial society is a no-no.

jailed behind your own door.

2009-08-11T21:16:00.003+08:00

What will it be like to be jailed in your own house? If you guys happen to be more aware of the current affairs happening in the world right now like just today, Aung San Suu Kyi will be under house arrest for 3 more years. Non-history students or any laymen out there will be like: Who is this Suu Kyi guy?

Actually, it's a she. Daughter of the great nationalist Aung San of Burma who single-handedly led Burma to independence after world war 2. Aung San Suu Kyi was on her way in becoming the prime minister of Burma after the 1990 general elections but screw those military bastards, they actually placed her under house arrest.

You think under house arrest not so bad right, you think again ah. No forms of communication with the outside world, even if there is it will be monitored by the authorities. Thats it, no Facebook, no DotA. Moreover, Aung San Suu Kyi charges were not justified!

Talking about politics, I happened to stumble upon a interesting fact about our Prime Minister. He is the number one politician who has the highest pay of all, even higher then Barack Obama with a whooping annual salary of S$3.76 million. Now I know where my burger fine end up to...

Demystifying the J curve effect

2009-08-10T00:32:00.004+08:00

Does depreciation or devaluation (by the way, they mean different things) always work to correct a BOP or Current Account Deficit??

Well, assuming Marshall Lerner condition applies, it works – but only in the long term.

Why does this happen?

Let’s take the example of Singapore, which buys raw materials from China, and sells the finished products to USA.

China and Singapore

Let’s say before depreciation of Sing dollar, the exchange rate was 5RMB to 1SGD; after the depreciation, it was 4RMB to 1SGD.

This means that previously, 1SGD can buy 5RMB worth of goods, but now? Only 4RMB. There is a decrease in the external value of Sing dollar.

Still, due to contractual obligations, Singapore firms must continue buying from China until the contract expires. Furthermore, the Chinese will still want to be paid at 5RMB – the previously agreed upon terms. (It’s a bit like giving tuition to foreign students – no matter what the exchange rate in their country is, high or low, the tutor still gets the same fixed, agreed upon fees.)

But previously, Singapore firms were forking out only 1SGD for 5RMB, now they have to fork out 5/4*1 = 1.25 SGD instead – to buy the SAME AMOUNT OF RAW MATERIALS from China.

Imagine Singapore firms paying Chinese partners SGD 1m in the past – that means a whopping 1.25m now! Another $250,000 more! Due to depreciation!

THIS APPLIES TO THE IMPORT SECTOR OF S'PORE! THUS THE DEMAND FOR IMPORTS IS PRICE INELASTIC IN THE SHORT RUN

Singapore and USA

Let’s say before depreciation, the exchange rate was 1SGD to 0.75 USD; after the depreciation, it was 1SGD to 0.5 USD.

The Americans need to pay so much less in order to pay us the same 1SGD (remember, they always pay us in SGD – and to do so, they convert their currency into our currency).

Buying goods from Singapore is so much cheaper now for Americans. Obviously, they are going to demand more since lower prices mean A LOT MORE quantity demanded (it’s technically called more than proportionate – remember, I assumed ML condition holds).

But the problem is, it takes time for the new contracts to be drafted, and it also takes time for the Singapore firms to pool resources e.g. hire more people to meet the new orders (in short run, supply is inelastic).

THIS APPLIES TO THE EXPORT SECTOR OF S'PORE! THUS THE SUPPLY OF EXPORTS IS PRICE INELASTIC IN THE SHORT RUN

So that means, in the short term:

1) We are converting more Singapore dollars to pay China, honouring our contractual obligations.

2) We are still selling the same amount of goods to USA, hence getting the same number of Sing dollars (not more).

Obviously there will be a worsening in the current acc deficit in the short run.

In the long run, however, Singapore firms will be negotiating to decrease raw materials costs (or changing the Chinese suppliers to find cheaper alternatives), and increasing the output to meet new demand from USA.

Thus, assuming Marshal Lerner condition holds, depreciation will improve current account deficit, but only in the long run.

Thanksgiving... or not

2009-08-08T19:15:00.002+08:00

I was flabbergasted when Macus told me that TPJC JC2s will not join the JC1s in celebrating national day like what all schools did on Friday. They are seriously damn scared of their current batch doing badly for the 'A' levels where they implement the 7pm-9pm structured revision period for those doing badly.

Well..SRJC is also kiasu but not to that extent. We hold our 3rd Thanksgiving concert on Friday in conjunction with the national day celebrations. Even though the early morning math lesson was unnecessary as all it does is spoil our day, we are expected to be in school by 5pm. As expected.. we are late, AGAIN. This time is my fault because I met Haikal late at his bus stop. Mr Nahar gave me a good dressing down about my late-comings and attitude problems but hey, i don't give a damn about what you think about me Mr Nahar.

When we were slowly ushered into the hall, it was like walking into a night club. The school invited some IT professionals to set up the hall and the sound systems was like in a club and the atmosphere with the dimmed lights and stuffs. They even played club songs like "Boom boom pow" and "Just Dance". The concert was a blast, the GP and Lit dept performance of "And all the Jazz" was sweeet and also the Humanities dept was the cutest! Super Mario and Sonic was damn epic, I WANT THAT MARIO SUIT HAHA.

The Science and PW dept performance was one of my favourites too. Which performance I don't like ah? The PE and the Math dept. Seriously are they taking this concert seriously like the other dept? After the concert was photo-taking time and everyone was snapping away with their best friends,teachers and loved ones. I took a few only as I don't know where the rest of our class went to and thanks to someone who pushed me to ask someone for something, I am going to treasure it ;)

i am going into politics, rawr!

2009-08-04T19:14:00.001+08:00

The root of all evil, meritocracy. The mention of it send shivers down my spine, why am i being constricted by it? There are too many loopholes in this meritocratic system we practiced. I am disgusted by the fact that the government just finds that exams is the easiest way to sieve out the talents and that's just retarded. Are we going to just study what the government deemed as 'important'? Indeed it is important for the government as they require people with such skills from the talent pool but is this what we want?

Instead, they should let people choose what they really want to do and giving guidance along the way so that our society will not be flooded with mathematicians or economists. Look at the number of math and economics teachers in Singapore, is teaching these subjects what they wanted? Try lowering the salary and assurance and I can assure you the iron rice bowl of teachers will shatter and there will be lesser teachers-wanna-be.

We need people like YOU, to voice out.. to do what you really wanted.

Want to be a top chef, go ahead.

Want to be a porn star, go ahead.

Want to be a film maker, go ahead.

Don't limit yourself because of the circumstances you're in, just do it.

我不明白...

2009-07-18T13:56:00.003+08:00

last post was at 2nd of June 2009 and I'VE RETURNED!

I'm going to dedicate this post to someone whom i had made her so fucking pissed off with me that she doesn't want to talk to me now..

I didn't want it to go this way, I would prefer we return to the good old days where we joke and laugh, disturb each other in the company of our friends.

Now, it is just like there is a impregnable wall between us and i can read from your eyes that you don't want to talk to me.

Is this going to be the end of our friendship? Deep in my heart, this going to 2 years journey was indeed spent worthwhile and I've grown up, matured with the help of you guys.

Thank you for what you've done for me; encouraging me, telling me to go on the right track etc..
I really want to thank you and hope you would go back to the happy, cheery person i once knew.

I'm sorry, please forgive me.

Talking about irony, i'm supposed to have shorter hair after my trip to the barber because i'm in still in college where long hair mean you're undisciplined but instead i kept my fringe and the back of it long.

And how I wish I can go to Taiwan, the education system is much less stringent and you have much more freedom there then here besides the politics. Best of all, all my idols are from that small island. I am a huge fan of Taiwan variety shows like '我猜我猜我猜猜猜' and '综艺大哥大 ' and many more that I can't list out because I don't have cable TV, how sad ;(

I believe Taiwan is the land for Chinese singers and stuffs eh, I still prefer Chinese music to English one or maybe it's just my Chinese roots acting up haha. And can you believe it, I actually ransacked my table to look for my Chinese file so that I can check out the 谚语 which are cool phrases that show your chinese is damn powderful.

So being a hardcore Taiwanese fan, after my haircut I went to e!hub for a scrumptious meal of Taiwanese delicacy like their mee sua and chicken cutlet and of course the infamous pearl milk tea.

Night Run

2009-06-02T04:02:00.004+08:00

Stressful minds lead to crazy ideas to relax.

With the arrival of the holidays, sleeping late has become a routine for me. Can't sleep away my holidays just like that but have no mood to start mugging yet, ironically. Macus suggested this crazy thought of jogging in the neighborhood at the wee hours of the morning. Insane it might seem but it's quite a good way to pass time.

Heart to heart talks are the highlight of the night run, apparently this is when people removed their masks that they have been wearing. I hate this mask that appear out of no where in your daily life, in whatever you do.

Something went wrong somewhere.

slackermania.

2009-05-31T23:34:00.005+08:00

Bah! Have been rotting at home since the start of my deserved holidays, well not that slacking is bad but too much is no good. The poly peeps are having their exams that is why I am devoid of activities to do, wanted to visit Temasek Poly tomorrow but I got this stupid Principal Rally and they got their papers, dang ._.

And now I'm chomping on pandan-flavoured bread. Don't ask me why I've got pandan-flavoured bread with me, it some sort of appeared in my kitchen and I've can't let it stand there till it go mouldy.

Recently been thinking why am I here for and for the first time in my life, I felt so empty. I felt so helpless that I couldn't do many things that I wanted to. Maybe I can start by learning something new, and bam! I was watching Zong yi da ge da where a section of the show was dedicated to magic. I was so intrigued by the way how magicians can entertain the people especially one contestant who made use of his humor to add value to his magic, it totally left me in awe.

I've then joined this magic interest group and embark on my new magic journey, hoping that I can find out what I really want.

unlucky.

2009-05-28T23:21:00.004+08:00

What a good way to start your day by getting fined by LTA for eating in the MRT station. I swear I was overwhelmed by hunger when I broke the law, and the worst part is that bugger refuses to give me a chance. He wasn't on duty then and have to jolly well come beside me, showing off that he's a MRT staff and escort me to the control station.

I hope they just give me the sentence right on the spot but no they don't, they asked you to go home and wait for their bloody letter. I believe the fine will range from $30 to $50 base on the fact that I did this foolish act for the first time and I'm still a student, there goes my allowance ;(

And Barcelona won the Champion's League and proclaimed being the strongest in Europe! Not that I supported them but the fact is Man United lost haha. You guys can ask me for soccer betting tips because I predicted Barcelona will win 2-0 and even can get the scorers correct. I am not joking nor lying and neither do I need a crystal ball, I just need my psp. It's very accurate.

back to the good old days.

2009-05-26T23:11:00.006+08:00

woot, mid-years is finally over and I can enjoy myself for the first week, at least.

Went to the gym at some weird place in Sengkang which is supposedly very near to Keagen's house and how disturbing can it be when you find out that your muscles are shrinking! I am not going to pass my pull-ups this way but looking at the way how those adults are working out in order to squeeze every single muscle out that is in the anatomy is just uh, I don't know but I definitely do not have the patience to work out nor the money to buy those miraculous protein powders, soya bean will do ;D

I can't imagine there's a place like this in Sengkang where a swimming pool is.. wait or should I say there are swimming pools beside the gym. I am amazed that I've forgotten how to swim but you can't blame me. The last swimming lesson I had was when I was just a kid and it's like poof, everything went back to the teacher. I got to stop forgeting things that I've learnt previously and most importantly, have to start learning new things again.

It is nice to be in the water except for that slight smell of chlorine and maybe the embarassment of wearing a yellow swimming trunk, for god sake no one wears a YELLOW swimming trunks, it's just too much for me. The journey back home was somewhat peaceful, listening to the same old songs and much thinking. Most of the time I would be thinking of stuffs while staring at the scenery out in the window or I'll be asleep, thats all.

desperate people thought of desperate means

2009-05-24T15:14:00.004+08:00

Just watched Night At The Museum 2 yesterday and screw it. Not because the show sucks but I've to sit in the front role of the cinema and that is not good.

I tried different sitting positions to ensure that my neck won't be aching and once even tried to sit on the floor with my head resting on the chair, i'm serious.

I felt kinda nostalgic when I was browsing through facebook and saw lots of my primary schoolmates and I thought to myself how nice if i could turn back the pendulum...

I think it was kinda of stupid to study for 6 years and lost everyone contacts, and after so long you found out that your friend's friend is your primary schoolmate and your friend is the classmate is your primary schoolmate etc etc.

It's all very confusing and I went on a adding spree yesterday, maybe some of them can't remember me but who cares *raise brows*, I can make friends with them again LOL

Come on, last 2 papers to go!

dimly lit star.

2009-05-20T18:37:00.004+08:00

MID-YEARS!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow will be my 'last' paper yeh, note the inverted commas. That is because I will then have a break of 4 days before my last 2 papers. History is seriously difficult, now very hard to spot questions liao not like promos ;(

And I seriously like this phrase mister yew used during the exam.

M.Y: *in a solemn tone* Please do not look around during the examination, you can look up for inspiration or look down in desperation.

I am wondering why am I in a JC.

Nope, not because I'm smart but maybe that could be a possible reason.

Just do some simple maths before I'm free from studying and doing things that I don't like.I am currently 18 years old now so,

18+2(cheebye army) = 20

Lets see, lets make an assumption that I make it to a university,

20+4 = 24

Damn, 24 years old before I can start to do something other then studying stupid theories of economics. (No offense Mr Tan or any econs lover out there =/)

I've so many unfulfilled dreams and none of them have been done yet. I won't want to do a job that I do not like yeh know?

刘力扬!

to do or not to do, that's the question.

2009-05-15T13:27:00.006+08:00

你可以选择爱我或不爱我，但我只能选择爱你或更爱你。

Mid-years in a few days time and I'm here doing my last minute revision! There is seriously a lot to study for geography and apparently it came to me a little too late uh. To give up is so easy, you just throw your books aside and enjoy yourself but to persevere on is not an easy feat.

I am somewhere in the middle, ji pua want to give up ji pua want to carry on. I am supposed to do maths today but somehow my schedule got pushed back due to procrastinations and distractions as I have not completed my geo revision ;(

Recently was watching the Taiwan version of "Don't forget your lyrics" and saw this singer from China caught my eye. She was the winner of some competition in China similar to our Singapore Idol or Project Superstar and is now under the contract of HIM international.

Maybe you guys out there will go for singers like Jolin who is sexy and has big boobs (ok i am generalising ;p) but i can say her 舞台魅力 is damn good. Her name is Jade刘力扬 and is a newbie with only one album released.

I like her hair but not the jersey she is wearing haha and her voice is really powerful, you guys should check her out. Maybe if I go to poly, I would make my hair like her but too bad i'm in a JC where long sideburns aren't even allowed and Pek Har will remind me everyday to trim it, how annoying >:

A LEVELS CAN COME FASTER ANOT?

howdy!

2009-05-03T22:41:00.005+08:00

It has been ages since I last visited this page, you guys would probably be looking at it as a normal blog post but I am typing it in a box with lots of weird drawings on top.

First off lets talk about macus 18th birthday celebrations! On this very day 18 years ago, macus was born. He attended the same primary school as me but we do not know each other and he claims he knew me ;o Miraculously, we chose the same fucked up secondary school and was in the same class during secondary 1 and 2. Even though we split up during secondary 3 and 4 because of the different subjects we took, soccer kept us together as we nearly played it after school everyday, yea no life peeps.

He's probably scared for life and swear never to go back to Fish & Co ever again for his birthday uh, haha. He fuckin had to wear a jester hat and stand on a chair while we sing the birthday song for him ;D

I watched X-men Origins:Wolverine just yesterday, damn I gotta say my idol is hawt. You guys would know how much I adore him from my email address but I have to make things clear that I am not into Hugh Jackman and his buffed-up body but the character wolverine himself ;/

Gambit is cool with his poker cards like duh and Sabretooth is a fucking badass, no wonder Wolverine hate him that much. Nah not going to spoil the movie here by listing out what happen in the movie, if you want you can just bloody wikipedia it!

I am currently short on cash man, like what the hell I would probably spent away a million dollars if I had that amount of money, money comes money goes. I am going to start 'Save to spend' project from tomorrow onwards. I am gonna bring bread to school everyday and not spend a single cent on the food at school even though they look nice and I am damn hungry after lessons.

No more soya bean for that pitiful amount of proteins but just plain water, it's healtier too ;D

I am still studying history now, cold war ;(

contradictions.

2009-04-20T00:33:00.004+08:00

Just because the fucking government want us to pass the retard napfa test, I decided to visit the gym regularly to build up my sleeping muscles. Yes they had been sleeping for the last 10 years because I did not feel the pressure like what I am experiencing now, come on 3 extra months?

Now my chest and shoulder hurt like hell, and hell in simple plain language means 'very the pain'.
I don want shoulders and chest which are as big as my head, no thank you but I just wanna pass my pull-ups!

After gym, I went to get my new bag which is kinda retarded cos I got a white bag again.. and I remembered I promised a long time ago never to get a white bag again.

Then on Sunday was the celebration of my cousin and grandma birthdays. We went to Katong for a buffet where a adult has to pay like $33 and we can enjoy lots of stuffs like soft shell crabs and coffee pork ribs. I drank red wine and ate the coffee pork ribs which is a weird because one is suppose to make you drowsy and the other keep you awake, apparently the alcohol defeated the caffeine.

happy moments.

2009-04-10T11:34:00.005+08:00

HOW CAN I FORGET TO POST THIS!

Thanks Tingyi, Qi Jun and Fonteyn for being wonderful project work mates.

I will miss Tingyi's commanding emails chasing us for the updated WR hahaha

I will miss Qi Bom Bom and his special hair on the back of his neck ;x

I will miss Fonteyn's complaints and comments about Joe Lim LOL.

Thank you!
Terima Kasih!
Xie xie!

2009-04-10T11:15:00.005+08:00

I got my Project results yesterday and I bet non of you guys would expect I would get an 'A'! I didn't thought about getting an 'A' because even though we have put in effort but considering the fact that many last year didn't get an 'A' and those under Joe Lim all gotten 'Cs'.

That's like 10 points secured in my ranking points for university admission ;D, more motivated to study now rawr! >=D

Try this!

Identify yourself as right- or left- brain person:

1. Hold your hands together, as if you were praying.
Look at your hands.

Left thumb below the right thumb: left brain
Right thumb below the left thumb: right brain

2. Fold your arms in front of you as if you are angry.
Look at your hands.

Right arm above left arm: left brain
Left arm above right arm: right brain

Based on 1 and 2 (order important), below is the interpretation of your personality:

Right-Left: Considerate, traditional, indirect type. Can instinctively read other's emotion and respond friendly by natures. Although not very into taking initiatives in moving forward, this person will always take a step back in supporting others. Stable personality and considerate, gives others a 'being protected' feeling. But their weakness is they cannot say no. Regardless how unwilling they are, they will still take care of others.
(FUCKING TRUE SIA! THIS IS LIKE ME IN WORDS ;D)

Right-Right: Straightforward. Once decided on something, they will take action right away. Very curious and love challenges. Dare to face dangers without thinking through (sometimes foolishly). Their weakness is they don't listen to others. They will filter in only what they want to hear in a conversation and very subjective. However, because of their straightforward attitude, they tend to be fairly popular.

Left-Left: Dedicated, cold, perfectionist. Very logical in all aspects. The only way to defeat(or win over) him/her is through reasons. Has a lot of pride and feels strongly about doing the right thing. If they are your friends, they are very trustworthy. However, if they are your opponents, they will be very tough to deal with. Because they can be very "anal" as a perfectionist, they usually leave a bad impression of being hard to deal with when first met.

Left-Right: Likes to take care of others, the leader type. Has a cool and keen observation ability to see through situations, yet still can be considerate in others needs. Because of their cool, calm nature and strong sense of responsibility, they tend to become head of a group. Popular among people. However, they may not be able to help themselves in meddling because they want to take care of others too much. Very concerned about how others view them, and always on alert.

Damn suay sia.Yesterday before I went for bowling training, I went to play volleyball just for a little while because I had nothing to do as bowling starts at 4.15. Every time I see volleyballers pla, I thought it was very easy as you just wack the ball with your arm only, simple?

Nah, now I got bruises on my arms, sprained my right thumb and worse when I woke up today, cramps in my calf. My alarm rang and so I tried to get up and I felt this tingling sensation on my right leg. I straightened my leg and the pain come cb! "cb cb cb cb was floating around my mind but I couldn't shout it out, obviously I don't want to wake my whole family up so I was like biting on my pillow while enduring the pain hahah.

Soccer tomorrow! Had to wake up damn early to take ball from alan's house, meet haikal at tampines interchange and play at school early in the morning.

4e2'07 BBQ tml but got some stupid parent's night thing going on, fuck.

Maradona: fuck you understand?

她真的是我喜欢的那一型吗？
这个问题已经困扰了我将近有两个月了。这几天我想了好多，放弃的念头一直在我脑海里浮现着。
你们可能会说没有尝试告白怎么知不知道会不会成功，可是我又尝试接近她但是她似乎当我是透明的。
我从小到大跟女孩子说话时都会有一点害羞，我以尽力的在改变但是看到她的时候，我几乎像个看到老鼠的大象。
我好愚蠢啊，还以为加入保龄球就可以和她交流可是在这个世界里，没有什么东西都是事事如意的。
这是我第一次喜欢一位女生。。
真的我没说慌，我不是同性恋或挑剔，但是我在默默的等待一个能让我心动的女生。

爱情强求不来，爱情勉强不来。

想陪你分享喜悦
想陪你面对悲伤
就算帮不上忙
我也会静静的陪着你
因为我喜欢你

恋爱真的是那么痛苦的吗？

Is she really the girl I'm looking for?

This question has been bothering me for the past 2 months.
I've been doing some serious thinking this few days, the thought of giving up kept popping out in my mind.

You guys might say that if I didn't tell her my feelings, how would I know whether I would succeed, but I tried getting close to her but she treats me as if I was invisible.

Since young,I am abit shy when talking to girls and I've been trying my best to change but when I see her, I turned from rambo to nemo.

Foolish me for coming up with the idea of getting close to her through bowling but nothing in this world goes according to plan.

This is the first time I felt something for a girl,I'm not lying and neither am I gay or picky but I'm waiting for the one.

Is love really that painful?

Tons of stuffs to update man.

Bowling was awesome because I'm a nebo member ;D, which means $2.50 per game! I lost count of how many times I actually visited the bowling alley in Tampines Safra during the march break.

Tingyi's birthday celebration on saturday was fun as well. I didn't know what to get for her and was nearly late thus I've to take a cab down to Sengkang. The steamboat was hilarious as when we waited for like 30 minutes and the soup still wasn't boiling and in the end it was because Granny Tingyi did not put the plug in the right socket.

Keagen became the prawn guy, peeling prawn shells for the girls and Sarah was being retarded, as usual LOL! Then it was wii session and heads up to Sam Loh for owning Sarah in the dancing game hahahah.

Girls are so farnee, one moment they were shouting 'omg I gotta go becos it's late!' then the next moment they were taking pictures ;o, anyway still waiting for the birthday girl to upload the pictures yah.

More good news! Manchester United lost 2-0 to Fulham and Rooney,Scholes and Berbatov are out for the next few matches due to injury and suspensions. This is great news man which means Liverpool still got a shot in getting the EPL trophy this season!

AND...Liverpool thrashed Aston Villa 5-0! They were like fired up sia, winning Real Madrid 4-0 and then defeating arch rivals 4-1, and now another victory with 5 goals. I so can't wait for the clash between Liverpool and Chelsea in the Champion's League.

Every now and then, you meet people of different backgrounds and personalities but on some occasion you would meet someone special. Someone who can make you feel like you're in heaven and can also make you feel like you're in hell.

Saying that you are just not worth it

Can't have anyone but you
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

All the pushing won't change my feelings
I am happy to have you,
more than willing to please you
i'm begging you please
don't walk away from me
Coz' i can't be happy away
from your side

Saying that this is for my own good
Saying that you are just not worth it
Please, stop it right now coz'
you know me enough that i will come back to you no matter what!

I want nobody, nobody but you

Rap:
BacK to the days when we were
so young and wild and free
Everything we had back then
was like a dream
If only i could turn back time
Why do you keep on pushing me away?
why do you push me away?
I don't want nobody, nobody,
nobody. nobody but you

After the demolition of real madrid in the Champions League, Liverpool faces their rival on saturday in the English Premier League. Everyone, and I mean every other guy in the street all assume Liverpool will be losing this one.

I mean come on, Manchester United ain't invincible. They have a string of good results but in this kind of games, anything can happen and it happened. Unaffected by the negative comments by the masses, I went to my friend's house to watch the match and yes he is a Manchester United fan.

The match started off with Manchester United dominating which isn't surprising and what do ya know, a penalty was awarded to them and Cristiano Ronaldo scored without hesitation, 1-0.

Minutes later, a long pass back to Vidic was thwarted by Torres and off he goes to finish it by shooting at the bottom corner of the goalpost, 1-1.

Just before half-time, another penalty was awarded and it was to the visitors. Steven Gerrard shot brought the atmosphere up as Liverpool was leading, 1-2.

It was until the late period of the game before a tackle on Steven Gerrard causes Nemanja Vidic to be sent off and a free-kick awarded at the outside of the penalty box. Fabio Aurelio curled the ball in when Van Der Sar wasn't prepared, 1-3.

Manchester United was definitely demoralised by the sending off of Vidic and of course the score. Andrea Dossena had to deliver more pain by scoring the last goal at old trafford, 1-4.

'peep, peeeeeeep' The full-time whistle was blown and Liverpool has defeated the leader of the Premier League with a astonishing result of 1-4.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not performing up to standards like what he did last year, complaceny or arrogance? Maybe what he know was just...diving? Haha.

This is gonna be a short and sweet post.

Just to update you guys, I got a 'D' for my A levels Chinese which is sad because I expected a 'C' or better. Even though a 'C' doesn't aid me in my points calculation for university admission but at least look it nicer right.

Looking at my seniors getting their results is heart-wrenching. There will be 2 scenarios that will happen to me next year and on that very day I will either be crying out tears of joy or tears of disappointment and I'm not going for the latter by the way.

I am still holding on to my econs lecture book at page 8 while typing this blog post because common test is just tomorrow! Often then not, I will give more time to econs as compared to the other subjects because it is always the first H2 paper.

It's torturous to keep your feelings within you and I've tried so hard to let if fade however it's not as simple as it seems. I just can't give you up for the sake of my studies even though I know it will take a toll on me, life is just not fair.

my life=studies

2009-02-28T22:19:00.005+08:00

I can't believe it, my life revolves around my books now for the second time. The first was during O levels. I won't complain much because I still have time to relax and enjoy myself in the midst of the never ending homework being thrown at me.

My birthday was simple as I received wishes from friends just like how you guys got during your own birthdays, like duh. A big thanks to A408 and MOSH for the wonderful birthday tart plus the singing of happy birthday along the corridor, haha. Something good happen before I went to NUS for the geography career talk.

The talk was, erm boring like heeelll. We were sandwiched between people who will become our future bosses as stated by mosh, the smart asses from TJC and RI. I reckoned it is one of the school rules to have high sloped hair, no? because practically everyone from RI has that hahaha.

I think the purpose of us going to NUS is only for the refreshments. Their ecclairs were heavenly and I loved their tarts too. We were like snatching every piece of ecclair and stacking them up on the tiny paper plates we were holding and on our way home we saw this full arch rainbow!

I went singing, again with my friends on friday. The charges are way more resonable then kbox lo, kbox is such a ripoff.

I don't know what to do now. I've got so much to say but nothing comes out of my mouth when I tried to speak. I've got to do something, something that might make her feel touched.

killing spree!

2009-02-22T01:01:00.005+08:00

3 updates in a row! How can this lazy and slack blogger update so much in one weekend huh? I don't know but there is too much to update about my life this year heh xD

Firstly I got a new pair of shoes! I do not have enough patience to travel all the way to queensway again thus I just stopped by at Penisula Plaza where I got my Liverpool Jersey looong ago. Sometimes it is good to try something new so I decided to abandon Nike and go for Adidas instead but whatever, both of them are expensive =/

I then return to Simei to attend S.H.E autograph session! Gosh, there is so many people there that I think if everyone farts, it might be mistaken as a chemical attack. (okay this analogy sucks) Manage to get a video on them singing on stage with my *insert wacky adjectives* camera on my phone. I took it out, pressed record,turned to my left and saw some pathetic ass with a lousy camera phone. Just when I was smirking away, thinking I owned their asses, I saw someone else with a bazooka lens camera.

Headed home after that as my aunt is bringing me out for dinner to some restaurant call "Thai Village" when they serve like Chinese food? I didn't know it was suppose to be a early birthday celebrations for me until they mentioned something about cakes for desert haha! I think I'm real fortunate to have such a wonderful aunt xD.

"Don't even think about it, thats my cake!"

Then on the way home she spoke to me about university, asking me which course I have in mind but I was like "I don't know leh". Maybe I should become a Historian since I love History so much then next time you can see my name on the sources in SBQ.

The Gulf War has a troublesome side for the UN. The Security Council realized its potential and achieved the most when the United States decided to lead it.As a result, the war solidified the American notion that the UN worked best when it did what the United States wanted. This encouraged American critics to harp on any later attempt by the White House to lead the UN in a new directions if these directions smacked more of multilateralism than of American interest. Americans acted as if the UN was their UN.

Revised for don't know how many times by the one and only James Boon, "The wonders of History," 2009.

Maybe not.

weekend...weekend.

2009-02-20T18:28:00.003+08:00

Even though I'm on M.C yesterday, I still travel allll the way back to school for Literature Night 2009. Jonas was telling me like "wear home clothes leh, wear home clothes leh" then bam, except for the performers I think I am the only JC2 wearing my own clothes.

I don get some parts of the play ahahah, maybe thats why I am not suitable for literature. I can still remember the days under the most dreaded teacher in my secondary school, my literature teacher mdm sugu. Not gonna go through it again even though i know the teachers weren't the same.

I think it's more of a talent night man, everyone is like showing their talents off to the audience but they're good.

I'm the one in green, obviously *rolls eye*

And TGIF! This means I've lots of things to do before the week starts again ._.

-Get a new pair of shoes.
-Maybe a new bag as well.
-Get a freakin hair cut.
-Prepare for school.
-Attend S.H.E autograph session at Eastpoint perhaps?
-Go bowling ahahahah.

Phew, that sounds like a hell lot of things to do eh? Hope I can strike them off by saturday xD

'weird'

2009-02-19T15:06:00.003+08:00

Sometimes school isn't that boring after all, yea maybe because I've 2 days MC and had enough rest thus I can make such comments. I don't know but when I woke up, I looked at the clock and thought to myself

"12 pm only, what should I do now?"

Today is a long day for most people and they will be cursing and swearing at me for being able to rest comfortably at home because I've got that holy piece of paper that can shut any teacher up which is commonly known as M.C.

I scanned through my timetable for today and was predicting what the tutors will do today, as in not literally what actions or jokes they will crack lah but their lessons .__.

I had enough rest, thought about lots of stuffs and will start by using a two-pronged approach, studies and her, haha sounds so much like history to me.

Quote of the week: Qi kuai~ (in a zhao xia and high-pitch tone just like mister yew)

2009-02-13T18:20:00.004+08:00

Love is in the air! I gotta admit I'm in love with History.

Firstly the lecturer, Mr. Clinton Yew is one hell of a farnee guy. I can never fall asleep during his lectures, not until he starts going through revision I guess.

Secondly my tutor, Ms Ong a.k.a Mosh. She is my civics tutor last year thus you can imagine how close is she to our class.The best part is our tutorial class consist of only 6 people thus we always finish ahead of time and then the talk cock session starts LOL!

Thirdly I think I've got historian blood in me. I don't particularly like history during my lower sec days but I fell in love with it during sec 3. I don't know why I can get the hang of writing history SEQ and SBQ very easily while some struggle like mad. Just like how some can do complicated maths sum very easily while I can't wait to kill the person who invented those formulas.

Fourthly maybe I only attend the same lecture as her in history? Haha, even thought we are like 8 seats apart on the same row xD.

Maybe I should ask History out for valentine's day tomorrow, yea by slamming it on the table and do it whole day LOL!

Happy Valentine's Day people!

2009-02-08T13:52:00.006+08:00

My weekend was suppose to be 'fruitful' with those homework and tests coming my way when school starts on Monday. Since I'm so stressed over something and it's Friday, decided to chill around at Tampines Safra.

Headed to the bowling alley first but found that it was quite full so pool is the way to spend time while waiting to bowl. I had my first 'trung duc' and now I know why people get addicted to it but never, never will I get addicted to this thing, I swear to the sun.

Bowling was like... wow? I can't believe how I suck at it with the highest point I get was like 70 and my friends broke the 100 barrier? haha and tried to hook the ball like some pros did but failed badly =(

We wanted to go drinking but we ended up with beverages with 5% alcohol content LOL, how pathetic. Then it was home sweet home at around 2am and bloody hell have to wake up at 7am to go for the CIP thing at kovan.

I was practically like a smiling zombie on the streets, asking for donations. Headed down to Simei to slack after that and then went with my friends to Pasir ris for arcade. We then split up as some wanted to go K-box and some wanted to ton so i followed them to my friend's house to ton.

Found out that he is in the bowling team of Dunman High so asked him to teach me bowling tomorrow haha and cabbed back home halfway as all tah boleh tahan liao.

Reached home and found out that Liverpool is playing against Portsmouth and watched the match online. Liverpool was down by one goal, then they equalise and then it was 2-1. I was too tired to carry on watching and was a bit disappointed that Liverpool was down 2-1 at the 70th+ minute.

Much to my surprise, Liverpool won the game with the deciding goal made by Torres!

One moment he was on the bench..

The next moment he scored the deciding goal!

2009-02-03T00:40:00.002+08:00

This post is going to be damn emo so please make the necessary preparations before reading.

Sometimes in life, you aren't sure what is going on.

Is it because I am too excited about the Liverpool victory over Chelsea that I can't sleep or is it just her.

Is it because of PE that causes me to lose my appetite for dinner or is it just her.

Is it because of the lessons were too boring that I couldn't concentrate or is it just her.

Lies and deception or just a glimmer of hope, is this what you call the pursue of love?

This gotta stop before I really go crazy but before that gotta find her in school first and talk at the right moment, busy yet strong-willed girl.

What's scary is that the more I know about her, more feelings entangled my mind. I kind of doubt myself, what's with this insecurity man.

Ok on the lighter note, lets talk about Liverpool for a change. I simply adored Torres to the max man, he did it against Manchester City and he did it again, on Chelsea. I was starting to get worried about his goalless form but woot!

A world class keeper needs a world class striker to break the deadlock.

2009-02-01T13:28:00.001+08:00

After many days of saving up, selling off some of my things and the best of all the collection of ang paus... I finally bought my keyboard!

I bought the last one on the shelf which original price is 1.1k as quoted by Yamaha and they are selling it at $600 because they only got the one on display left. The keyboard looks perfectly fine so why not?

Then the best shit happens, they told me there isn't any box for this huge-ass keyboard and I either get a case which cost 40 bucks or carry that thing back just like that. Just like that, Yamaha scammed my $40, screw them.

The keyboard I believe is around 7-10 kg and should I tell you that the case doesn't help at all?

That's the newest item in my asset.

We then had the craziest idea, to go to crossfire for lan games. When I got home to put my precious keyboard, Samantha suddenly asked me when is the Corfu incident. I was like why is she asking me history like at 10pm and then I finally remembered I had to do a History Quiz online.

Anyway that was when I was about to go to crossfire and without even preparing by swallowing the whole lecture book, I just do the quiz like a soldier stupid enough to chiong to fight an army.
I think I broke the Guinness world record by finishing it within 2 mins when I am given 8 mins of time.

Yes I failed the quiz with a score of 8/20, that is why we need to Handle our impulsivity, Lang kiang jiu ho, mai kay kiang (be smart enough, don't act smart)

We took I think the last bus to simpang bedok and much to our horror, the lan shop is fully occupied. We thought we can wait till there are computers avaliable for us and we waited from 12am to 4am, walking all the way to bedok central to pass time.

In the end we just cabbed home with our middle fingers pointing towards the direction of crossfire, waste our time.

2009-01-28T18:55:00.001+08:00

Hello peeps! How is the leeching of your relatives money.. erm i mean the ang pao collection coming along? Great I suppose eh since you guys get to eat and still get money LOL.

Today was a bad day, PE sux because we have to do the circuit training which makes me wanna vomit after it. Tahan all the way until break time to do some last minute revision for my maths test which I am the only A4 peeps taking it since I am under Marcus Kuek.

Now we had this habit of calling our teachers by their names like 'Shu Hui' or 'Kim koon' LOL (I seriously hope non of them visits this blog) I went for my daily 'piano practices' and Haikal, the blind and deaf pianist tried to learn a simple song but failed badly because it was too simple.

Our CT treated us to fruit tarts today and Jonas being an ass, tried to stuff it in my mouth while I was going to slowly savour it and the tart just flew from my hands to his face, it just flew. What comes after that was Jonas picked it up and offer it to his friend and he ate it!

Such a long day and it is just the begining of the year! I can't imagine me mugging till 7pm in school before A levels...

2009-01-23T19:16:00.001+08:00

For the first time, I regretted choosing my computer club as my CCA.

Not because it's a nerdy CCA whatsoever but I realised I've not learn anything from it, since secondary one. I quit computer club when I was in secondary two, so for the rest of my upper sec days I was CCA-less.

I can still remember vividly when Mr Bob sexy lau, my maths teacher who always leave his top button of his shirt off asked us what CCA we were in and,

Student A: I was in the NPCC with the rank of ...

Student B: I was in the student council...

Student Kok boon: I've no CCA >=D

Not that I care about what people might think, but I've learnt nothing, not even a single shit about programming! It's not because I am lazy or what but be it, my secondary school or SRJC, the teachers don give a shit about us.

I swear to my name, that I will never join another "computer club" ever again! Never in my life will I make that mistake again.

Bloody hell waste my time only.

On the side note, I've found something else to commit already other then gaming. I am going to master at least one Final Fantasy song on the keyboard/piano before A levels!

Thats right and perhaps I will spend my breaktime practising on the school's piano rather then go "trung duc" (pronounce as chong dirk) with Haikal LOL

2009-01-18T00:48:00.000+08:00

Hi people, it's time for another update yea?

I just found out something real interesting today maybe you guys feel I'm just being random but you can't help but wonder why such things happen yea?

Have you ever wonder are those horoscopes really true, I doubt so as people who were born in that particular period will have etc etc characteristics and so on..

BUT! I found out that 2 of my friends are of the same age, and their birthdays fall on the same day and maybe, just maybe they are room mates when they are in hospital.

They are very different in personality or should I say, its the direct opposite.

1. One is a lazy slacker while the other is a kan chiong spider

2. One is male , the other is female

3. One go poly, the other go JC

4. One is quite a sadist, the other loves animals

5. One has untidy handwriting, the other has legible handwriting.

The only similarity I can think of is..

1. Both were born on the same day, 23/1/91

It's quite cool to know that someone has the same birthday with you and if he did listen to me and chose a JC education, he would be in SRJC too, how cool can that be!

School sux.. seriously.

2009-01-06T22:00:00.001+08:00

After countless nights of sleeping at wee hours, finally it's time for me to return to school. As predicted I slept at 3am when I have to wake up at 7 in the morning thus I was really tired.

School can be great if not for the early awakening, homeworks ain't that bad compared to that.

So apparently 2A04 is divided into the three kingdoms; You can clearly see the distinction quite clearly when we were having our CT period today and we were wasting our time in the canteen after all the talks and admin stuffs.

The SAC was renamed to "The Study". Like what the F, after asking for opinions on what it should be called where creative names were mentioned and you have to name it "The Study", even muggers corner sounds better.

They even implement this Early Bird Programme (EBP) where late comers are suppose to report to college early for 2 weeks which is another lame shit in my opinion.

And more bad news, PSP will be banned in college. Maybe SRJC is the first junior college to do this eh. They should put up signs to remind us not to use the PSP in the college.

Happy New... blah blah ok I'm late.

2009-01-05T00:55:00.001+08:00

Sorry folks, I've been too busy that I forgotten(or actually i'm lazy) to post a new year entry!

Guess where I did my countdown for New Year? In Ronald Macdonald house!

When it was new year, some patrons will go " yaay! Happy New Year" while the rest will just continue with their net surfing or their cup of coffee, as if new year is just a part and parcel of life. I can't believe I'm one of them, damn it.

Santa Claus is no more, and now lets welcome the God of Fortune. Glad that this Chinese New Year is in the month of January which means early ang pau collection and I'm planning to buy a keyboard using them!

Not this kind of keyboards but..

THIS! (Ok, maybe not this one but you get the idea)

oh, merry christmas then.

2008-12-27T14:10:00.001+08:00

Been rather busy the past few days, not with work of course but fun and enjoyment! After a hard year of suffering..torturing...enduring, did i say suffering? well yes its worth mentioning it again and
FINALLY, can slacken abit.

On Christmas eve I went for dinner with my soccer teammates a.k.a secondary schoolmates. We were supposed to dine at Yuki Yaki but when we got there it was full so yea tough luck. We instead settle our stomachs at NYNY(New york x2). Then wanted to go ktv again but yet again, full house. Whats wrong with those people huh, keep messing up our plans for Christmas eve.

After all these we then decided to play pool and did that till 2am and crawled home afterwards.

My Christmas feast was actually eating zi cha at a coffeeshop LOL! But its damn good and cheap too.

Then on Boxing day, I went for a mini gathering with my secondary 3-4 mates at Simpang Bedok. It was quite awkward meeting them at first as some of them changed but after a while everything went wild and Liverpool won!

PW madness!

2008-12-20T02:18:00.001+08:00

Have you ever tried doing Project work without all those unnecessary reports and submissions? That's like impossible right, we are rushed every week for the reports as those bloody teachers always tend to find faults in them, even though we think it's the best already.

Well I did.

During my secondary two year, my school wanted us to do project work. Of course without the reports and we are require to submit a video and that year topic was on "Generation Y"
We were thinking of what to do to show the naive side of our generation and we finally we got the idea from some Taiwan prank show hosted by Jacky Wu.

If you guys heard of Ru Hua, then you should have some recollection of that show.

We did not have any scripts at all, it was all a boo-ha as our motto was "zi you fa hui" which means to create your own lines. If you guys couldn't recognize me in the video, don't feel bad because I couldn't either =/

1A04 barbieQ.

2008-12-13T23:45:00.001+08:00

Hello all, bet some of you are waiting for my update eh, no? Haha anyway, so I am the official escort of King Haikal and we were like totally lost in Sengkang.

Somebody said just take 119 from Sengkang Interchange and just alight at the 4th stop, we did and we arrived at some ulu ulu place near Rivervale Plaza but kenneth said fonteyn's place is near Rivervale Mall so we were like what the?

In the end we took the LRT and Kenneth found us. The names for the LRT stations are damn weird like 'Rumbia' and 'Kangkar'

The food was good and after a few mouthfuls of marshmallows, it was time to say good bye but we stayed behind for some slacking with a teacher, first time for me LOL. We apparently just enjoy a hard day of bbq by the pool side lying on those poolside chairs or whatever you call them.

And thanks ah Jonas for nearly pushing me into the pool. We were obviously too loud and the security guards have to ask us to move to the pavilions. They were like telling the Scandalous Chronicles of Sarah about her getting drunk.Then it was time for his royal majesty to return home... actually we were afraid we will miss the last bus.

Bravo, the last bus just abandoned us and we were stranded on Sengkang. Haikal came up with a brilliant idea to save a few bucks by walking a few bus stops towards tampines and we finally boarded a taxi. The midnight surcharge is such a rip-off, 50% of your fare? We were close to walking home from Sengkang when I knew about the midnight surcharge, it was that close man.

KTV session!

2008-12-04T22:26:00.001+08:00

Today was the day that my daily routine of eat, play and sleep was broken as I went to sing karaoke. The funny thing is we booked a large room but in the end like only 5 of us went, so is like 5 guys occupying one big room and we even have space to "kiao ka" (shake leg) while in the medium or small room I can see 5-6 people squeezing together.

We sang all the way from 1pm-7pm and they were spamming jay chou's songs all the way, damn they memorise the whole song like fuck and the lyrics are in "fan ti zi". The sad thing is I'm the only one that support S.H.E so yea, soloed all of them alone =(

Macus have to comment that I am chao ah gua cos I sang S.H.E songs. What? They are the ones who are gay cos all they sing is Jay Chou, Jay Chou and guess what, more Jay Chous. I support a girl band because I'm normal okay, not like YOU guys.

So basically sang only one English song today because they practically ban them. They are those chinese kakis who are aimming for 'A' in their Chinese A levels, while me aimming for a pass? LOL. Had lots of fun but even though there are only five of us and 2 mikes, somehow still feel like never sing enough leh but if call more people come, jialat must snatch mike liao.

2008-12-03T02:15:00.000+08:00

Enjoy.

2008-11-24T21:03:00.001+08:00

I GOT PROMOTED TO JC2!

The teacher-in-charge aka Mrs Christina Tan had to call me late at night to inform me this 'exhilarating' piece of news. Well this means hardcore studying next year, can't believe this re-exam shit cost me to miss lots of stuffs during the supplementary lessons.

Whatever, I still have my holidays to enjoy, need to find some part-time work though.

clouded future.

2008-11-20T00:56:00.001+08:00

Shucks, after completing my re examination and being completely exhausted from all those late night studying, I suddenly don't find it good if I get promoted =/

After knowing that more essay writing/drillings/practices are coming in my way during JC2 sort of demoralize me. I told you guys I am sick of JC life, everyday do nothing but write essays! I want to go to a poly but the only course that interests me has a freaking cutoff point of 10 last year, and they only take in 60 students per cohort.

I am definitely not confident of being one of the 60 students. I don wanna waste my time there but I've no where to go if I fail to get into that course. I am very pessimistic about my future now, I WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING ELSE THEN WRITING ESSAYS!

this is so gonna take some time to settle down...

so long, sucka!

2008-11-06T18:49:00.001+08:00

I believe many JC1s have already finished their project work and I can see them swearing, screaming and pointing middle fingers at their pw teacher's photos.

YES! My oral presentation ended on 5 nov and I've already handed up my I&R long ago thus project work is officially out of my life. So in the end my class wanted to go for a star gazing outing to celebrate the end of lardball's reign but due to "unforeseen circumstances", I didn't join them.
Now, it's time to focus on the re-examination that is going to start on 14 November.

Shit.

I can't study nuts now for god sake but if I can't pass, lots of people are going to kill me including myself.

Seriously SRJC is super kiasu.

Other schools have already released their students but 'they' as in the newly promoted JC2s students have to go for some supplementary lessons for the whole of november. This one month can be used for working and the opportunity cost wasted is around $1k? (If you got a decent job that is)

I mean 'they' have been working hard for the past 7 months and the government sets this 2 months for them to chill and enjoy or preferably spend more time with their family but SRJC ruins it all, bravo.

P.S: I have to refer to them as 'they' cos I am not one of them yet T_T

screw oral presentation

2008-11-03T23:37:00.001+08:00

At one glance, I thought Oral presentation should be something that will pass by my life quite swiftly but up till now, I've been going to schools to practice my OP and tuning it to perfection. I begin to feel that this 40% worth of marks ain't easy to get at all, it's taking a toll on my mind that I can't start studying for my re-test.

I am going to rehearse one last time tomorrow before going for the actual thing on Wednesday and my weak points are still the same: Talk too fast, sounds like memorising from script, hand gestures etc..

I swear that I've been practicing even in the toilet and I can go like way slower and even adding in extra humor inside but whenever I stand in front of someone and present, bam! Everything's gone, speak too fast, can't remember my points. Heh, actually Russell Peters inspired me to include somethings in my oral presentation script. Not as crude as him but I learn to put in personal experiences and also some personal thoughts from him.

This is like doing English Oral all over again, hate that feeling man!

Red Alert 3

2008-10-28T19:52:00.001+08:00

I got my red alert 3!! It has been god-knows-how-long since they last release a Red Alert game. Furthermore, the production team of this game is huge as compared to the previous versions and is a definite must buy if you like the Red Alert series.

For those xua gus out there, the red alert series is a battle between 2 sides, the East and the West. (Lol sounds like writing a introduction for a History essay.) Unlike the cold war where no actual fighting took place, the soviets actually attacked USA in Red Alert 2 and you can choose to be a commander between this 2 sides and assist that particular faction to dominate the world.

Sad to say, I was hoping the pre-launch event to be a massive one but it was a minute one, so ended up taking pictures of the cast of red alert 3, in posters form LOL.

Check this out!

Welcome back, comrade.

Oi, look there lah.

Nice logo, LOL

Evil Principal

2008-10-23T13:12:00.001+08:00

I KNEW IT!

I told you guys not long ago that my principal is evil and yes he is! That bloody *toot* toot* don want to advance those that nearly made it like ME. I got 34 points which is 1 point short of the criteria to promote including mid-years and CA.

My result slip.

And now, I've to re-take the exam in November. Oh no, you think I am just retaking those that I failed? No way, that evil principal want us to retake all our H2 subjects + GP.

Argh, but I felt his words made sense. Why go so fast in life, is there a certain dateline for death?
Make full use of your life and live it to the fullest, don fucking be jealous of those child prodigies that go to university at 12 years old. After hearing this I feel like retaining, CHEE BYE PRINCIPAL STOP MESSING WITH ME!

Disclaimer: All names or characters mentioned in this post are fictional, they do not exist. The author of this post holds no responsibility of the consequences if this post gets circulated. No principal was harmed while writing this post.

PW is leaving me soon!

2008-10-17T14:16:00.001+08:00

Finally, the thought of PW is going to end soon is really goooood. No more drafts and wastage of papers. Cheh, Oral Presentation only what! 5 mins and it's over but that 5 mins is worth a whooping 40% of the marks.

Life is like that, you gain something and you lost something else in the process. Even though my PW 'workload' should be getting lesser, but I've to do 6 hours of CIP on monday to fucking redeem myself cos I skipped one of the supplementary lessons in June. Chao Naha!

No, thats not a new vulgarity but my discipline master name is call Mr.Naha.

I got so many things to rant now, going to release all of them here.

FUCK! Torres is injured again and he is going to miss 4 matches which include those against Athletico Madrid and Chelsea. Noooo, those buggers from Belgium. I don know, maybe robbie keane can make use of this chance to prove himself, you don't pay 20mil to ask someone to score one pathetic goal.

Come on, 6 hours of CIP in the library? You got to be kidding me.

This is bad...

2008-10-13T19:17:00.002+08:00

Life is so empty when all you do is to study shit that doesn't interests you. Chinese isn't so bad but TWO hours of Chinese everyday is definitely not good. PW doesn't even bore me as much as Chinese because you can do your own work now in PW rather then listening to lardball preaching about his life stories previously.

What? Oh ya! The release of my results and let me give my thoughts on every subject I took.

General paper
I finally passed my essay! I think it's because of the Liverpool example that I gave, must have helped me alot, love Liverpool. But, I failed my Paper 2 so I got an E grade which is a pass!

Maths
Lol? I said something that if I can get even 10 marks, it will be a miracle but I don know why I got 20 marks! I suddenly felt motivated, I anyhow do also can get 20 marks, if I chiong maths from now on then can get higher grades? Alan, your help is needed.

Chinese
Bah, complacency killed me. Last time I got a "B", now I got an "E". Neh Mind one lah, A levels Chinese exam more important. Now I got more time to focus on this shit subject liao.

Geography
Fuck this subject, I really studied trying to squeeze all that fucking content into my brain but I still fail. One "S" grade also don want give me, 5 points make alot of difference leh.

History
Disappointed sia, I was looking forward to a "C" or "B" but got a "D" instead because for the first question I did not address the Berlin Crisis and that female teacher with a masculine voice commented that I could get an A in JC2 if I continue to work hard. Woo, I am beginning to "love" History man!

Economics
So we were getting back the econs papers last, then I counted my total points up till now not including Chinese. 17.5 points only sia, that means my econs need to get at least a B or else I can go bang wall. So being a free-thinker me, I can't depend on any religion so I basically prayed to the sun, I became a sun worshipper. Then the sun answered my prayers, I keyed in my marks in the calculator and closed my eyes. Then I hit the equal button, slowly opening my eyes I saw the number 62.

Then I looked up at the board for the points, holy sun , I got a 'B' for my econs! Because Econs is the first H2 subject that I was examined on, so I spend about 2-3 days more on Econs revision. Much to my surprise, this subject saved my ass. I swear I will love Econs from now on, I will blabed about Economics where ever I go ( Liverpool merchandise is price inelastic in demand as there are lots of hardcore supporters out there so even if the price increase, demand will decrease less then proportionately).

So overall, I got 35 points for my promos which is just nice the criteria needed to promote. However, you have to take into consideration my mid-years which I flunked like nobody business so yea. I won't believe that our school will moderate the results, because I can see that our principal is evil, the way he walks and smiles ... So I am still keeping my fingers crossed and if suay like some guy who stepped on dog shit cannot promote, then I'll consider poly as I am really tired of JC life.

Football-Heavy Post.

Previously, everyone was complaining how "unsporting" and "unprofessional" Chelsea was in the English Premier League but now, I beg to differ.

What makes up a unsporting football team?
1) Players who dive regularly
2) Players who injure others purposely

I don care if a team is not sporty or whatever because I believe every footballer has his own difficulties, they might dive sometimes to win or do some weird stuffs like headbutting some guy in the world cup final. We won't understand what they are going through on the pitch thus I don really criticize them much.

What really bothers me is the fact how the fans react. I won't blame them if they support the club like as if their father is in the club or what but don't be so bias that you discredit the controversial issues without even getting the facts right!
I will get straight to the point, I am talking about Manchester United.

Don misunderstood, just because I support Liverpool and you guys think I am using this chance to shoot my rival club. There are some players who I admire in Man Utd too like England striker Wayne Rooney and also Anderson, Evra etc... They are skillful players and no doubt that they are the champions of Europe.

Take for example, the match between Blackburn and Manchester United on Saturday. The first goal was very controversial as replays showed that Vidic elbowed the Blackburn goalkeeper and allowed Wes Brown to score. The referee is at fault for not sporting the foul and Man Utd later on score another goal so I am not sore over Man Utd winning.

So I was like trying to start a conversation with a die-hard Man Utd fan whose name shall not be mention about the controversial goal. Then he goes yapping that it wasn't Vidic fault as someone pushed him so he banged into the keeper. I was like, okay but how can you say it wasn't his fault as the fact is he fouled the keeper. Then he goes on and say some weird shit about the keeper was moving which I couldn't apprehend until now. He was so determined that I asked for another Man Utd fan opinion.

Yet again, he repeated the same old story about wasn't Vidic fault! They were like lawyers paid by Sir Alex Ferguson to try to defend Manchester United! Why can't they just be neutral and view this whole incident as a non-man utd fan? I am so into football now that I will read the reports after every matches so they state that it was indeed a controversial goal and the goal should be disallowed. The fact is so solid-hard in your faces but you guys just avoid it. I didn't go argue with them like some stuck-up old man as it is meaningless.

I begun to wonder, why is it that they themselves who accused Chelsea of being a unsporting club can't see the unsporting behaviors of their own players? They previously insulted Drogba as a chao diver and also Chelsea players being "smelly".

I believe the fun of talking about soccer is when every fans of different football clubs put aside their differences and really talk about the players base on their performances and not which club they belonged to.

Now for the happy moments, Liverpool won! It is those typical Liverpool match again where they were down by a few goals and they managed to strike back. This is one of the reason why Liverpool is one of my favourite club, their ability to turn the tables.

Remember the Champions League Finals in 2005? LOL, I kept repeating this because I wrote this in my GP essay and somehow I love to use this example. Once again, Torres being my favourite player now scored twice against Manchester City. He is indeed magnificent, defying critics that he will have a harder time scoring in his second year in England.

Torres celebrating after scoring for Liverpool.

Liverpool was down by goals in the first half and during the second half, they piled on the pressure and Torres equalised by scoring 2 goals. During stoppage time, Dirk Kuyt fired away the winning goal which resulted in a 2-3 victory against home side, Manchester City.

Celebrations go wild when Torres scored.

Robinho of Manchester City was a constant threat
for Liverpool's defenders.

Robinho was awesome, I can't imagine how Chelsea will be performing if he join them. He was causing so much problems inside Liverpool's half that I will go like " Nooo, don't let him get the ball" while watching the match.

FREEEEDOM! My ass.

2008-10-02T16:50:00.001+08:00

I can't stand this anymore, more then 2 hours of talks in the hall non-stop. My neck is aching like hell please, no more of this or you can just kill me.

And no 4 hours break in between please, come on the talks end at 1030 and bloody kuku bird the PW lesson starts at 1430? I can do better things like watching advertisements like this :

Love the herbal man. LOL

Last Day.

2008-09-30T11:58:00.001+08:00

Here is the report for yesterday's battle.

Casualties: Uncountable Skin Cells.

I now resemble someone, someone call Mr. Krabs because my face is red like a cooked crab. We were supposed to play for like 2 hours but because they were too high and in the end we were under the sun for 4 hours chasing a damn bloody ball.

Lesson learnt: Buy a damn bloody sunblock lotion too.

Oh ya, back to the main topic. Geography was a tough nut to crack. I looked at the essay questions(I get to choose between 2 questions), first one the part B I know how to do but the part A I didn't know how.

Never mind, there always a way out, lets look at question 2. Kuku bird, same situation part B know how to do, part A don know.

Once I knew my geography was a goner, I went to chiong my History. The thought of it being the last paper always give me strength that I memorize the content for the 4 different types of question that can come out, the quotes and also some statistics to make my essay more power-packed.

Now this marks the end of my JC1 life, whether you will still see me in that uniform or not depends on the teachers and the worst thing, we have to wait till around end of October to know our results but we still have to go back to school to do PW and Chinese! Eeww..

Day Off.

2008-09-28T00:07:00.001+08:00

Humans are weird, when you are given time to revise your work etc etc, you will never treasure it. I am given a 4 days break before my final papers which falls on Monday but you all should know ar, I practically wasted the 3 days.

On Friday, went to play soccer from 6pm to 11pm. Siao arh? Then was watching animes in the afternoon, one day gone.

Then Saturday which is today, went out with my friends enjoying myself like I am some rich guy's kid. Bought S.H.E new album , went to eat Sakae sushi and Haagen Dazs. Don worry you will see me eating grass the next few days LOL.

What do ya know? Liverpool won in the merseyside derby match against Everton. Torres struck twice into the net! WoO! I didn't watch the match due to "unsupportive" friends who support some club call Man Utd. They were like " Liverpool match again ar? Sure lose one lah Stoke City also draw."

THEN, tomorrow I am going for soccer again (soccer freak). What to do, I said before long time ago, Soccer > Studies . Nah, will find time to revise for Geo tml.

Day Three.

2008-09-24T22:16:00.001+08:00

Here is the report for today's battle.

Casualties: Brain Dead.

Imagine squeezing 3 books full of content into your poor little brain but what to do, you can't do maths/science stuffs for god sake. I believe the teacher marking my paper will be coughing cos I practically smoked my way through.

Then there was the 3 hours break before we sit for the History paper. Everyone was damn kan jiong and was like photocopying every single fact that is in the lecture book. Kudos to Marc and Samantha for pointing out the 2 questions which is on Berlin Crisis and the external and internal thingy. Guess what? The questions that came out was the same! This feeling is the same as last year when I spotted correctly the questions that will come out for O levels History LOL!

Like tio beh pio(4-D) like that.

Day Two.

2008-09-23T23:53:00.001+08:00

Here is the report for today's battle.

Casualties: Nil

Chinese is the only paper where you can pass without revising. Essay? Just talk cock can already, I did on whether technology is good or bad. I nearly fell asleep doing paper 2, not because it's too easy but Chinese words when glued closely together will hypnotize you and ask you to go to sleep.
But don't worry, I completed the paper.

Why do we have to learn maths, what the hell can differentiation do to me? Dy/Dx my money?
Practically gave up after one hour and was doodling on my paper , playing with my GC and things-you-do-when-your-bored.

Went home and slept till 7 pm before starting on my preparations for tomorrow battle. Armed with "Granite" , "Limestone" and screw-geo mentality , I am sure the paper will be "weathered" away by me.

May the rocks be with you.

Day One.

2008-09-22T18:42:00.001+08:00

Here is the report for today's battle.

Casualties: 5 Brain cells

GP was okay considering the fact that I only revised two topics as recommended. I did the one on

"There is no point in promoting sports in Singapore." Comment

I got the points in my head but the hard part was to list the examples so when I talked about Sports can teach values blah blah, I gave the example of Liverpool's triumph 3 years ago in Istanbul LOL! Craped about not giving up even though 3-0 down but in the end owned AC Milan ass in penalties. Hope the one marking my paper is a Liverpool Fan too, then maybe got bonus marks.

Then come economics, I dare say I put in effort for this subject but I kinda feel it is abit wasted cos the paper was like okay? The content came to me like water tap like that, keep on flowing one. I talk so big now wait later I can't get a quality grade then die.

I was nearly late today cos I woke up at 6.45? Then bo bian have to take cab to school. It took only like 15 minutes for me to reach school by a cab but it bloody hell took 40 mins to reach school by bus 81. Yea the fares differ alot also arh, cab need to spend $12 while bus 45 cents only.

The hall was freezing machiam like lying down in the mortuary. I think one jacket/sweater like not enough sia, maybe tml got people bring 2 or 3 to the hall or lagi worse, bring blanket.

K bye.

2008-09-15T16:57:00.001+08:00

Dulan, is the only word you can describe this man after the clash at Anfield. He thought his squad could crash the hopes of Liverpool in obtaining a league victory against arch-rivals after 7 long years however, nothing in this world goes accordingly to plans.

Even with the absence of Fernando Torres *ahem* and Steven Gerrard partnership in Liverpool attacks, Liverpool cruised to victory with the score of 2-1.

AHH , Promos next week.
Holy shit, how scary can this get. I kept procrastinating with the revisions and up till now, I haven done any hardcore studying yet, just mere reading. Seriously, the mid-years I screwed up cos I just studied the day before the exam because of Euro lahh but now is promos liao lehh , how arhh?

Anyway, I am just aimming for a pass but I don't have any confidence in passing, because I'm afraid the teachers might go "nek nek nek, lets set a difficult paper and fail those who didn't study hard." I wanna train soccer, I wanna lend how to play a keyboard, I wanna go out to work and earn money to feed my cravings for Liverpool Merchandise but I am being limited to just studying.
This is stupid, now I know why people migrate from Singapore, cos they don't give chances to people to fulfil their dreams, they just throw books at you and ask you to help fuel their economy.

Boredom.

2008-09-03T12:21:00.001+08:00

So I'm going to do a little roll back so sit back and relax, enjoy.

29/8/08
I went back to my secondary school rather then SRJC for several reasons.
Firstly, it is so near to my house.
Secondly, by the time I rush back from SRJC, god knows how late it will be.
Thirdly, I am lazy.
After the rar-rar cheers and screams in the hall, we went to the usual you know, talking cock with teachers session. Then the teachers have to go for a budget lunch by our kiam siap principal so we didn't know where to go after this. We decided to go to Penisula Plaza because some of them wanted to look at guitars(Guitar Freaks) and I wanted to get my jacket/jersey, remember? Finally I got my Liverpool jacket and next on my list is the 08/09 liverpool jersey with "TORRES" "9" behind =D

30/8/08
dNothing much, just that Arsenal own Newcastle 3-0.

31/8/08
DAMN IT! Torres will be out for around 3 weeks due to a hamstring injury! Fuck and next week EPL fixture is against Man United. WTH!

T_T

Gerrard the man!

2008-08-24T03:30:00.001+08:00

I am so happy right now! Liverpool was down 0-1 at the 85th minute but an equalizer from Carragher ensures a point for Liverpool.However, Liverpool Captain Steven Gerrard fired a winning goal just at the edge of the penalty box, 2-1 at full time.

Joel was like hoping for Liverpool to lose and when Middlesbrough scored he was like "GOALLL LIVERPOOL GOT OWNED HAHAHA." Too bad, we are leading with 6 points now ;)

I asked him to lend me a jacket so that I can survive in the hall during promos, the aircon like no need money one, damn bloody cold. But he brought a short-sleeved jacket, I need those with long-sleeves so that I won't have to keep my hands warm during the exam by sitting on them.(Thats what I did during mid-years) Bo bian, either I buy a Liverpool Jacket (WOOO!) or just buy those chapalang no brand jacket which cost like 3 times lesser then those Adidas jacket =/ which means either a jersey or a jacket, damn it.

Something is fucked up here, I'm getting obsessed with branded goods. I sound like those vain bimbos who buy like 15 bags from some branded stores , screw consumerism. One simple shirt with a big tick and 4 big words which spells "N I K E" cost you like 50 bucks and a simple jacket with 3 stripes at the sides and one tiny winny club logo costs you like 70 bucks? Rip-off lah!

As if I can win the world cup trophy by wearing Adidas/Nike Sports Gear...

I think I just did it, LOL!

KILLING SPREE!

2008-08-10T23:01:00.002+08:00

Happy 43th Birthday Singapore!

Following the birthday of Singapore, I went on a shopping spree . It all spark off when my running shoes abandon me by committing suicide (His whole face was disfigured) thus my father pass me 100 bucks *plays holy sound* to get a new pair of running shoes. I thought that it will be cheaper to get it from Queensway so I gather a few kakis and travel alllllllll the way there.

Walk around, saw lots of shoes and balls. Then walk into one shop where I chose my running shoes recommended by the salesperson. Bloody hell the shoes get lighter in every model, like feather like that. Thats what you get when you wear branded shoes eh, solid one. Then I saw the street soccer shoes and wanted to buy a pair too and then that guy hit the nail on the spot.

"What shoe you want? We got shoes wore by Gattuso , Rio Ferdinand and whats that guy's name? ah! Fernando Torres"

My new street soccer shoes.

Ting* My eyes was wide open and he continued to ask me which club I supported.
"Liverpool all the way man"

He then said he will give me a discount cos he too supported Liverpool and I decided to add one more item to my shopping cart, a ball. We then took the train to Changi Village for seafood , I gotta admit I've limited choices. For those who don know, I am allergic to prawns and I am not into Clams or Sotongs so basically the whole meal I only ate the Sambal kangkong and Sambal Stingray.

Took Bus 29 home and on the way we decided to try the new ball so we drop at the soccer court behind our Secondary School. Now this will spook you , we were playing then one of my friend accidentally kicked the ball too high and it landed in a construction area where it is sealed by high fences. We then tried to climb in but we can't cos the edges were too sharp. Then the lights of the court got switched off and I realized my watch was not working( It stops at 9.50, both hands pointing at 10.) God damn it and tml a Sunday where it is the bangla workers day off. We then decided to retrieve the ball tomorrow coding "Operation Retrieve Bola"

The next day, we carried out "Operation Retrieve Bola" and it was successful with the help of Mr.Ladder. I then decided to make a bigger hole in my pocket by buying a new Liverpool Shoe Bag. Then the hole gets bigger when I ate my dinner at Cafe Cartel, I got drag into this restaurant cos they said there is free flow of bread, why gian over breads sia?

Now I am getting greedier, I want a Liverpool Jersey! So I am raising money now , any kind souls who can donate money to me? Screw the fund raising of SRJC, Join the fund raising for Kok Boon's Jersey! LOL

2008-07-26T12:21:00.001+08:00

Got this to do, got that to do alamak! Project work is damn time and mind consuming. You got to do surveys, pilot projects , interviews , focus group discussion and in the end do a report. Wth?

To go along with your scrumptious meal of PW , you still got burdens from other subjects, can die one you know? After all these tortures comes the dreaded promos(end of year exam) which determine whether you get promoted or retain/go to polytechnic.

Seriously I've once thought of going to a poly during the whatever exercise MOE had but the points for the only course that appealed to me was lower then mine and then came the pressures from my aunt. Go JC lah, it's shorter then poly and got higher chance of entering university. Oh well sounds nice to me then so ta da, i mean booo now I am here at SRJC.

I guess this is called the choices you've to make in life, you only have one chance and once you lose it, you might never get to choose again.

Zero no Tsukaima Season 3

2008-07-11T22:54:00.001+08:00

It's here! The new season of Zero no Tsukaima and it will air on arts central every Thursday starting from 10th July. It's a light-hearted anime with a fucked-up but funny storyline. You won't be expecting great story lines like from Bleach or Naruto but trust me, this show is good.

So why not watch a different type of anime for a change, remember to catch it from 11.30-12.00 every Thursday on Arts Central or you can just go to the usual crunchyroll.com or veoh.com to watch it, heh.

Ahhh.. so many corrections to do. Thats what you get when your in the Arts stream, people from science stream just key in few equations and corrections are done but for us, rewrite the whole essay. Last but not least, TGIF!!!

2008-07-08T20:46:00.001+08:00

Yea everyone is waiting for me to announce my results and are prepared to go "haha loser." I haven't got back my GP and Geography yet so just take a look at the ones I got back first.

H2 Economics: 16/45
H2 History: 23/50
H1 Maths: 24/65
H1 Chinese: 61/100

Economics, hmm expected.. History was never good, Maths sux by the way and holy shit? B for Chinese are you kidding me? You might think my results suck, wait till you see how the JC1 cohort fare, some did even worst then me.

What do you expect from a guy with the "O levels Mentality" (quoted from our principal) where we study last minute and manage to get good results blah blah... Sick of all these talks by teachers which they thought it will motivate us but instead it backfired. We actually get demoralize, for your information teachers/principals/whoever.
