CT1 in 2 weeks time... How to survive? Just hoping I won't do extremely badly. 50 rank points is good enough for me. *pray hard* *fingers crossed*

2012-02-05T18:24:00.005+08:00

Orientation is over!!!! ): I am damn freaking sad now ): Don't wanna get back to my notes and tutorials. This is so unfair! Other schools all have longer Orientation. Y VJ NO DO THE SAME!?!?!?!?!?! But still am really grateful to have such a good time during orientation. OGLs were awesome and made quite a lot of friends with them. Not forgetting my awesome bunch of freshies. They made Orientation 10x better with all their enthusiasm. Of course, won't be able to make it without my fellow OGL partners: Sanjeev and Lexin :D They are awesome people and won't forget the times we had together, bullying the freshies and of course, bullying lexin with sanjeev.

Orientation was really a blast and I really enjoyed myself despite the annoying moments when certain school decides to be exclusive and burst one or two cheers out. *ahem*ahem* Had a great time teaching and telling the freshies what it really means to be a Victorian. Seriously, you have not truly experience Orientation unless you have gone through VJ's JCO. No one does it better than VJ, because we are awesome. Love the automatic OG cheers face-off whenever we have the time, and honestly, every year, the OG cheers are damn solid. Love Avatar and Ranbo's cheers the most. But Cyclops is pretty damn awesome, ok? We got freaking 3rd place man! Ok, in case any freshie is reading this, the 'OG C has been winning for 3 years in a row' thingy is just a lie to get you guys to work harder to make us win. HAHA! But 3rd place is pretty damn awesome already (: Can't wait for Sea Regetta and Mass Dance@ Suntec this coming friday! :D Going out with the awesome CYCLOPS! :D WOOHOO~

Since we are on the topic of freshies, their existence means that there will be lesser seats and longer queues during breaks... Argh, hate such instances, especially when you are desperate to find seats to have brunch/super early lunch because you know that you wont have time later in the day. VJ is just too small to accomodate such a huge cohort man, and the worst part is, there is no space for VJ to expand! We have an expressway behind us, KC and Nepture Court beside us and another road in front. But still, VJ is pretty damn awesome (: haha

So CT is in like 4 weeks and there are so many things to be done. Hate this... But just have to blame myself for getting into so many things. On the other hand, everything will be over by May, and then it will be chiong for A levels time. Before that, it will be the PW results. Gosh, really hope it will be good news man!

2012-01-14T21:35:00.002+08:00

Hey there! It has been long since I last updated this space here. Can't believe how fast time had passed and now I am JC2. Gosh, really gonna dread the late night studying and stuff. I doubt I will be able to endure it anymore, especially when I have not been doing it for damn long. However, my body never fails to stay wide awake when it comes to having fun and partying all night long. Just wish that my body won't fail me when the time comes and I have to mug like a pig.

Many things had happened over the past 2 weeks. Had OGL camp when I totally lose my voice and can't speak at all, BBQ with the gang before school starts officially and Open House (love the mass dances and cheering). Lessons had begun and there are some changes to the teachers. Hope the changes are for the better *fingers crossed* Gonna have a chem test next week and I am gonna die preparing for it, because I am totally not prepared at all (especially when the stuff that you have studied for promos are all long forgotten). Just gonna pray hard that the paper is not so tough *fingers crossed again*

So I was travelling to school on 55 in the morning for Open House, and something really petty happened on the bus. To my horror, it was 2 adults fighting over something so trivial: a seat. Well, woman A was sitting on the first seat, the one right behind the bus driver, and we all know it is super small and squeezy, because it is for an adult and 1 child. But apparently, woman B wants to sit down and gave A a 'tap'. A made such a big fuss over it and claims that B whacked her. The commotion ended off really ridiculously. B walked away and A coughed out her spit and spat at A. That was really a wtf (for the record, I don't swear much, so this shows how disgusted I was at that point of time) moment. 2 grown adults fighting over a seat, and yet they handled it with such great level of maturity. I was literally shaking my head and can't be bothered by such ugly behaviour.

It was definitely not my first time witnessing such nonsensical/'mature' kind of behaviour. There are loads of video on the net showing how ugly Singaporeans can get, and the main point is some of the videos feature adults fighting over something so trivial which led to some form of racism. I admit I do make racist jokes, but that does not mean you insult their race by being so insensitive at such times of tension. I really cannot believe this is the society we are living in, and if things were to worsen, I have no idea how I am going to survive in such an ungracious society. I know it is really skeptical of me to think this way, but the future is really unpredictable. Who knows what will happen?

2012-01-01T11:13:00.003+08:00

Happy new year guys!:D

Yup, so its a new year, a new beginning, a new start. There are so many things to look forward to this year. The best thing that is gonna happen real soon is OGL camp, and then ORIENTATION! :D Of course before that, it would be Chinese New Year. Can't wait for the awesome steamboat and the $$$. HAHA I sound really greedy huh? haha

So yesterday, I went on a shopping trip with my brother. Finally bought like stuff for CNY. Got a pair of red Everlast shoe, while my bro got a grey high cut from Everlast too. Got 2 V neck from fourskin too, total is about $155 already. Haha best part? My bro is going NS next year, which means everything is mine, because he would rarely get to wear them (: Spend the night at home listening to the top 100 countdown. Kinda expected Party Rock Anthem to be no.1 already, like it was so hot this year. Expected Grenade to be the top few too, but unlike the others, I dont really appreciate that song as much as the rest. Just aint that addicted to the song. TGIF did pretty well. What to say, it is Katy Perry. Did not expect Beyonce to be in the top10, because, as much as I love her and her songs, her songs did not seem to appeal to the crowd this time round. Oh well... Adele did pretty well too, but I always preferred 'set fire to the rain' to 'rolling in the deep'. I guess I do have a unique taste for the arts. haha

Anyway, this post is supposed to be a post to state and clarify my new year resolution that I have to fulfill by the end of 2012.

I resolute to be fitter and get all prepared for NS

Haha, yup, seeing my brother train and prepare for NS has definitely influenced me and made me feel like it is time to prepare for it. But first, I need to make sure my silver for Napha. Is not that I cant run my 2.4 or do proper pull ups, I just cant jump that far... Haha, yea, so I am counting on my discipline to stick to a work-up routine and get myself ready for NS. Hell yeah! Yep, like what I have said before, I am gonna be less ambitious this year for my resolution and aim to complete it (:

2011-12-31T23:53:00.003+08:00

So 2011 is gonna end really soon. Yup, time to look at how this year had been. Well, instead of being all so childish like the previous years (check out those december post for the previous years) and blogged about what happened throughout the whole year again like as if I had not blogged about those incidents, I shall evaluate how this year was to me.

To me, the best word to describe this year is 'change'. A change in environment, change in routine, change in lifestyle, so much changes. It was really overwhelming at first for me to take it, but guess it got better as the year passed by. Well, honestly, things got better because I got used to how tough JC life is. It was tough going through it alone, especially when there is not much people to rely on in JC when you feel so lonely and lousy. Been through quite a lot of low points this year and glad that I made it. Life was so hectic, everything just went passed so quickly. It is so hard to hold on to what you believe in and opportunities given. Before you know it, you are the one lagging behind, trying so hard to catch up.

As harsh as 2011 sounds, I definitely learnt a lot. So much so that, I feel that I have grown throughout the span of just 1 year, so much more than my past 16 years add together. 2011 has also reiterated the cliche-and-yet-so-damn-true phrase: Change is the only constant. As much as I hate changes, 2011 taught me how to embrace them with a open heart and mind. Simply put it this way, if there is a change, it means things ain't that right as they are supposed to be. We can try to stop the change, to stand by what we believe, to fight for what we hope for, but when the change comes, there is no point ranting and go all i-hate-this-screw-this-shit kind of attitude. It ain't gonna make things better. Do yourself a favour and just accept it and make the best out of it, rather than be all so pathetic and loser.

Well, there are definitely pleasant and awesome things that happened throughout the year. MAH awesome class, those house apps who been through everything with me, house comm (especially the VA adhoc) and not forgetting the awesome OG C! You guys have been an awesome part of the first half of my JC life and made everything that I have been through worth fighting for. Never gonna forget those time that I had spent with you guys, because those memories are just god damn precious to be forgotten. Stay awesome and may you guys have an awesome 2012.

I should be looking through my 2011 new year resolutions at this point, so here it goes.

~~I resolute to strike a balance between play and study~~

~~I resolute to step out of my comfort zone~~

I resolute to explore new things

I resolute to read more and broaden my perspective

I resolute to be more sociable

I resolute to be more considerate

I resolute to keep in touch with my secondary school friends

I resolute to not do anything that will make me regret

Firstly, I swear I will not be so ambitious in 2012. Secondly, I will set a more distinct and measurable resolution.

Hmmm... 2 out of 8? Quite a failure huh? Haha yea, I mean I think I did not really do much to complete what I am supposed to do. Got to set easier ones and less resolutions, so I can stick to it during the new year.

2011 has been a year of ups and downs. Hope 2012 will be a smoother year and definitely a more fruitful one (: Happy new year people! :D

2011-12-20T13:09:00.003+08:00

I know I have been ranting a lot about how life is so hectic now. I barely have time to do anything, and bam, the year is about to conclude. But on the other hand, I am really grateful how life is right now. Despite being all so busy with all the different nonsense to deal with, it really makes me feel that life is something not worth wasting. It taught me how to live life to the fullest and never waste a single bit, because you will just end up regretting it. It taught me how to appreciate the tiniest things in life, to the extent that when I feel empty, I know that I once had an enriching life, and when I am enriched with blessings, I will remain humble and grateful for what ever I have. Our life is always in a state of dynamic equilibrium, when you lose something and you will gain something in return. Believe it or not, life is fair, that is because it is unfair to everyone. So stop being blaming and cursing how tough life is, because you have to choice to make the best out of it. I am, and I will.

2011-12-10T22:21:00.004+08:00

Has been awhile since I blogged. Yup, the holidays are here, but that does not mean time to slack. Have hell lot of things to do and catch up with. Life is so hectic, and that is how a year passed by so quickly without me knowing. So many things to do, yet time is so limited. Is totally like what MrK. always says 'Unlimited desires, limited resources'.

So like 2 weeks of holidays are gone just like that. Like *snap* A brief run-through of what I have done. NUH-NKF children camp last saturday, dance practice for SDD performance the whole week, SDD on thursday. Yesterday was the only day, since the holiday has started, that I had it all to myself and get some well-deserved rest.

Managed to watch Glee thanks to Vanessa. Santana is damn awesome. Best bitch of all time. HAHA Vampire Diaries is getting exciting too. Catching season 2 now. Have to cut down on it and focus more on school work more. Need to work out real soon and practise those turning techniques before Andy is back to kill us once school re-opens. But before that, will definitely get to enjoy at Indonesia for OCIP. It will be my very first time going overseas with just my friends. Yup, my parents are not following me. Hey, if Princess Jia Yan can go with her friends, without her parents, why can't I??? Yup, will be gone from 15-17. I know it is short, but I bet it will be very meaningful and memorable for me.

Just gonna keep this post short. Yup, have a great holiday (:

2011-11-30T12:33:00.003+08:00

So the dec holiday is finally here. It has been pretty eventful for the past 1 week and so.

VA was better than expected, except for the second day. First day was quite bearable because of the class time that we were given and Mrs Mah was not around to make sure we do what we are supposed to do. Had a great class bonding session. Second day was really bad. The activities suck, so was the class attendance... The guys ponned halfway through, while I was good enough to stay for the whole thing. Flashmob practice was pretty fun though. Started the VJ cheer with Gary. Haha and Gary is damn loud. Wednesday was chaos. Busking was in a mess and it was so bad... ): Thank god weiting, kahyong, jerrell, sarah, rachel, brenda and wen qing were around at some point of time to handle all the chaos with me. However, because of all these screw-ups, I had learnt a lot of things. Great experience (: Thursday was a blast. Amazing race in the morning to afternoon, post promos party at night. The rain did not dampen the Victorian Spirit. Who said that the Victorian Spirit is gone? Nothing can stop us, and that night was freaking awesome! Went out for dinner/supper with some of the OGLs from my OG after that and had a nice chat with Boon How on the way home.

Yea, boon how mentioned how we are able to just hang out with each other, not talk and yet there is no awkward silence. Yea, I think that is the kind of friendship everyone hopes to get. It is like those moments when you can just sit at the front porch with your best friend, enjoying a cup of tea (starbucks for our context), chilling together, without talking and laugh occasionally when some inside joke happens. That is the pinnacle of any friendship can get, and I think I have that with some.

Had my first bowling session on Friday with the dancers. Yea, the school sponsored all the sports and performing arts CCA to bowling. It was pretty fun. Went to pack the goodie bags with Jia Yan after that. Finished packing everything in 1 afternoon and talked so much about school and stuff. Haha, more like gossiping. Sarah and Toufiq, you guys missed out so much man!

Went out with the guys to watch Breaking Dawn: Part 1. HAHA! Caught the counter girl judging us with her 'wth' look. But that show is only nice when you have a bunch of crazy ass friends poking fun at every normal scene. Seriously, I felt like sleeping throughout the whole movie. It was that boring. It is kinda like a tradition to watch the whole twilight series and some marvel comics series together with the NCC gang.

Went for the SUJU 100 dancers thing for MAMA'11. It was a great experience to dance on such stage, with the Korean artist. It was amazing. Got to see 2NE1 perform live. Too bad Big Bang was not there. Caught SNSD and Suju up close, when they were at the backstage. The irony was that the whole bunch of us (VJ guy dancers) don't even recognise the Korean stars. HAHA it was super funny, when we just walked into the stadium #likeaboss with the organisers waiting for us, while the rest of the fans have to endure the hot sun and queue up patiently to enter the stadium, only at 4pm++. Yea, but all in all, it was a great exposure and was pretty glad that I signed up for it.

But for now, need to get started with the academic and stuff already. Tonnes of HBL stuff not done and got all those lecture notes to organise. VOG and musicfest planning is gonna kick in soon. Hope I will survive next year (: And again, I CAN'T WAIT FOR ORIENTATION!!! haha

2011-11-19T11:16:00.002+08:00

Some stuff are just not that easy to forget. Your past, the memories and all those milestones in life. Some are there for you to seek comfort, review your happy moments, while others are just there to haunt you for life. Those regrets, sins, troubles you have gotten into, and not forgetting those childish and embarrassing moments.

I made a fool out of myself a year ago, and I just made a fool out of myself a few days ago too *points to facebook pic*. It is hard to forget all these embarrassing moments, but they are something that we will always remember. It is hard to face the world when they know all about it. You get laughed at, teased about it, and you get all frustrated and annoyed by it. But these are the things that make up the stories that you will share in the next few years and have a good laugh at it. This is called moving on.

It is never easy to move on, especially when you knew that you could have done better. It is always easier to say, then to do it. People get so uptight about stuff that they dread being mentioned. Yea, but I've learnt that moving on is something that everyone should be doing, rather then clinging onto the past and not letting it go. Life will be so much more easier that way.

Haha, it is just some random thoughts I have while I recalled all those embarrassing/loser-ish stuff that I have done for the past 17 years.

Life has been great/awesome after PW. Yea, I am currently watch Vampire Diaries, after how Deepak has been telling me how hot Elena is. Honestly, Vampire Diaries has a pretty exciting story line, which is something else, on top of how gorgeous Elena is, that kept me watching every episode. But, it kinda sucks to only be watching season 1, when they are showing season 3 now. I mean all the suspense and stuff are all gone, especially during those am-i-gonna-die moments and am-i-gonna-break-up-with you moments, when you know that they will all still be alive and kicking in season 3. What is bothering me the most is that Glee is not working on Funshion. It is so frustrating! Syifa has been telling me how awesome ep6 is, and here I am still not being able to watch it. Damn! Hope it works soon!

After next week, it will be the holidays. VA will be over and finally a break from those work and stuff. But not for long though... Have to catch up on those lecture series and tutorials, before Orientation kicks in. Oh, did I mention how awesome my OG is?? Yea, Orientation 2012 will be a blast with these people around. #hellyeah We had an awesome time at Caleb's house, playing wii, kinect and xbox. Lexin was all crazy about Indian Poker, and the loser would have to play 'Truth or dare' That explains that popular and well-liked photo of a guy being degraded by a flower hairpin, typical hand sign positioned 'strategically' and the pouting lips... Yea, but still, these people are party animals! So lucky to have them in the group :D

2011-11-07T23:03:00.004+08:00

Ok, so I should be thinking of how to answer those OP question instead of this. Did I tell you how much I love Modern Family? Yea, how can you NOT love an Emmy-winning comedy series? Yup, I am like addicted to it, and have been spending like hours on it instead of memorizing my OP script.

I especially love how they tie everything up after every episode, the 'moral' of the story at the end of every episode. It is like we can learn so much life lessons from a comedy which exaggerates about how hilarious/embarrassing/harsh/tough/frustrating life can be. There is always this short and powerful phrase that will hit you hard and sets you thinking, or rather reflecting, about your life, maybe even makes you change how you behave and perceive things around you, and how you treat the people around you. It is a series filled with the so much warmth and chaos, from those touching and the-typical-make-you-go-awwww moments to those noisy and loud chaotic situations when everyone is just blasting out at each other for no apparent reason. All in all, a highly recommended and a must watch series.

Well, I must say life has been hard. All those OP and VA stuff are making me suffocate. It is always those 2 letters acronyms... The good thing is, all these are ending. Can't wait for the December Holidays. Got to have some time to myself for me to catch up on my studies (nerd moment. HAHA!) But, honestly, I really need to complete my revision for the J1 topics, before all the madness comes pouring in next year term 1, or else, Imma just flunk my CT1... Yup, and it is time to review my year and catch up on those 2011 resolutions. It is a funny thing that I am always setting so many resolutions for me to fulfill, which is kinda not practical. I guess I am just gonna stick to 1 New Year resolution in 2012. Am I going too far?? Back to 2011, KT!

Yup, PW is gonna be over soon #hellyeah

2011-10-23T18:26:00.002+08:00

Handed in my WR and left really accomplished. Now, it is time to go all out to get OP over and done with. Not forgetting I&R. 3 more weeks and everything will be over! Hell yeah!

Had 2 steamboats in a row, over 2 weekends. One at Vic's house last Sat and another one at Wingsang's house yesterday. Wanted to stayover at Deepak's place, but mom did not allow, so I had to leave early... ):

Yup, parents are giving all sorts of excuses to not let you hang out with your friends. It is always the 'So friends are more important than family lar?' kind of argument, especially when you have chosen to go for an outing with your friends over a family gathering. I mean times have changed. We are able to better connect with our friends and keep in touch over the years, even if we are not do not physically see each other.

However, all of these do not mean that friends are more important than family. What I am trying to say is that we should have time for our friends too. There is a family gathering every alternate week, so does it really hurt to give it a miss once? Ultimately, what makes up a family? You start a family with someone special who has no blood relation with you at all. A family member does not necessarily have to have blood relation with you. Your future spouse definitely have no blood relation with you at all. Those who are related to you by blood are not considered family if they do not matter, or are not worth of your time when they dont give a damn about you.

Friends play a part in our lives too. It is a harsh truth is that sometimes, friends stand by you more than those who have blood relation with you. Even parents, to a certain extent, do not provide the kind of support that they should for their child, all the more we need our closest friends there for us. We are born in the era when families are getting smaller and smaller. As we grow up, friends will be the ones that stand by us, other then our parents and siblings. You might not even be in contact with your cousins. Sooner or later, you will just rely on the company of your friends, your spouse and maybe some close cousins, if you have.

Just a thought, when my mom forbade me to stay over at Deepak's house, though her reason of not allowing me to stay over is not related to this at all. Damn, all those steamboats making me really crave for Chinese New Year Eve's reunion dinner with my parents and bro. It is the best steamboat ever, and it will always be. Mainly because I can just eat however much I want and dont care about how unglam I can be when I am in the comfort of my own home.

But damn, that will be another 4 more months...

2011-10-18T01:11:00.003+08:00

Yup, still up doing WR. It is due tomorrow. Hope everything will be alright!!! Cannot risk this man! Damn important! Ok, off to edit WR! All the best to you guys (:

2011-10-11T21:47:00.003+08:00

Farewell assembly last Friday was a blast. Hope the seniors liked it. Put in so much effort and it did pay off well. Awesome! Had a great time preparing all the stuff with House Comm last Wednesday and Thursday, though there were some shouting and clashes here and there. Got sick of Thaipan after having it for dinner for 2 consecutive days. The decoration was gorgeous, especially all those balloons. Yea, life has not been good. Done with Farewell Assembly, and now there is VA to be busy with. PW is not helping much either.

But had a great time last Saturday with my bros. They are just as awesome as before. Caught Real Steel with them after having a hell of a time at Nick's House, playing GTA, Soul Calibur, WWE, Cheat, Dai Ti and Cups. Apparently, Nick tried to invent a game call Cups using poker cards and was attempting to make me look stupid. So, I entertained him by being spontaneous and played along with him, while others were laughing their hearts out. Yea, it was really hysterical. You have to know us well to understand what so funny about it, which means those 4 amazing years in NCC.

I can't help, but to mention how great those 4 years were, whenever I mention my bros. They are seriously the best bunch of crazy people I have known, people who I never want to not know. I know for sure that it will be such a waste of my life, if I have not met them. I am really truly thankful to have them as my pillar of support. We never really mention it explicitly to one another, but we know that we are brothers from different mothers. This friendship will never die and will follow me wherever I go.

I really hate school nowadays, simply because I just dont have enough sleep. I will just wake up every morning, forcing myself to stay awake. Its so irritating... And to think that we have to put up with it for another one month...

2011-09-30T22:08:00.000+08:00

Becoming really skeptical about how life will turn out.

2011-09-25T21:39:00.002+08:00

It is a common misconception to think that having an early promos means that you get to be liberated earlier. Well, it is not true. It just means that you have to work extra hard for PW. And there are still tutorials to do, in case you didn't realise, so that we can catch up with the syllabus. That also means you have to start studying again for the Reassessment in January 2012, if you don't do well. So, it is not really that great to have promos to be brought forward. Plus, all those distractions you get when your other JC friends want to ask you out for a night of fun, and now after your promos, they are busy studying, so you have no choice but only can rub it in their faces.

Yup, still have tons of things to do. Trying hard to understand P&C. Thank god it is not in the promos, or else I am so dead. Heading to the kampong tomorrow to conduct our pilot test. Hoping it will be a great one, so we dont have to head down again. With the pilot test done, we can just concentrate on WR and OP already. Really looking forward to the end of the PW period. And of course doing our best of secure that A. It will really be damn wasted to not get an A for PW, especially after spending so much time and effort on it.

Yup, this is precisely why this post exam period ain't that joyous for me... Oh, but Johnny English Reborn was hilarious! Make sure you catch it, after your promos (:

2011-09-22T23:04:00.001+08:00

Promos are over! Hell yeah! Ok, I am gonna sleep now. Bye guys (:

2011-09-18T13:21:00.003+08:00

Did I mention what I am looking forward to after promos? Ok, I did, but here are more things to look forward to. Season 7 of How I Met Your Mother is starting tomorrow, Glee Season 3 is premiers on 20 September, the last day of promos, gonna catch Johnny English Reborn with the class on Wednesday and The X Factor starting on 22 September, this Thursday.

Hell yea, life after Promos is going to be a hell of a time. Yup, both the good times and the bad times. Hell lots of fun with all the slacking, chilling and outings, but spending more time in hell doing all the PW work... Oh, and not forgetting getting back Promos results.

I am just really praying hard to pass, and like get E for the subjects that I am really no confident in, which are basically all the papers that I have sat for: GP, Geography and Chemistry. Hoping the next 2 papers will be alright and I really do want to maintain and get the A for both subjects! That means, I should not be here now... Well, ok 2 more days!

2011-09-11T13:39:00.002+08:00

Ok, so I am damn dead for Promos. As usual, I got hooked up with some awesome show that I am like totally addicted to it. And this time round, it is no exception. Yea, I am talking about So You Think You Can Dance. Season 8 was like a blast and although it has ended long ago, it is still really worth watching. Totally inspired by them to do so much more to be a better dancer. They are just so damn good. Especially Melanine, Marko and Tadd.

Melanine is just that typical girl who is the powerhouse that will win the competition since the beginning for the season, and indeed, she won. She is simply magnificent. She can do any genre with ease and with such grace and beauty. A true dancer who paints a picture with her moves.

Well, Tadd is definitely the ultimate surprise and inspiration. I mean, he is a bboy, and he did al those other genres like contemporary, jazz and even ballroom and he just hit it. I don't think any bboy is able to bring out the kind of grace and lines, which i dont think most bboys are able to perfect with their muscular and rough hiphop moves.

But, Marko is still my favourite dancer. Yea, because he is a guy, and he can do those contemporary stuff so easily. He has the strength, the emotion, the technique and he is god damn versatile too. He does all the different genres and pull it off really well, no matter whether it was his expertise or not. He totally deserve to be the last man, literally, standing. He came in third, but the position does not matter, he is still an awesome dancer.

Watching Marko dance really made me want to do well and improve my own skills. Well, I only started dance this year, and it is kind of tough. But, that's not the point. As I watched him dance and all those interviews, he really put in everything he had to get to where he wanted. It made me realise how much I have wasted my life on things that I claimed that I wanted to be good at, simply by just giving up that easily when I was younger. Yup, like how I changed CCA 3 times in 6 years of Primary school. Things just don't come by easily, but I just could not bring myself to do my best in whatever I want to excel in. I always wanted to be good at something, but I'm just not. You know, like an association to the specific field, a positive one of course. Like when you talk about chemistry, you think of Ms Mok or Mr Leow because they are experts to you. Yup, it is such achievement and excellence in an aspect that make everyone look up to you and strives to be like you.

I wasted like the past 10 years only to realise that life is more than just the books. And yet, I am not really that great in the academic aspect either. I mean, I am already satisfied with what I have achieved in terms of academic (that is if I can maintain my grades for Promos), but I want something beyond those books and notes. I am pinning my hopes on dance this year to get me through this 'inferior complex' issue of not having a talent, and hopefully I'll be mature and discipline enough to accomplish what I have started off with at the beginnging of the year.

So now is the final countdown till promos. Got the O Levels feeling all over again... Sigh... But this time, the stress is greater! You have to get good grades, get promoted, and not take and R paper... I mean it is not that you can screw O levels up, but it is just that promos is really a major foundation for your A level course. If you cant do well, it really means that you will have a hard time catching up in J2...

I did mention about all the things worth looking forward to after promos right? HAHA yup, so damn excited! Can't wait for promos to end, and we get to laugh at all the other JC students who still have to mug their ass off while we chiong for PW... Yea, with Promos starting and ending earlier, it is not really that big a deal... Yup, the well-hated PW is here to haunt us after the Promos. Well, I want an A, so got to put in the effort. Thank god, my PW is kinda on track, and most of the stuff are already done. So, it will be pretty managable after promos.

I cant blog too much now, because my brain is totally not working at this time. So yea, will update soon (:

2011-08-20T22:23:00.003+08:00

So I only have got 7min to blog, before I head back to my tutorials. And with this I have only 6min left.

Life had been really awesome. Get to go home straight away after school, it is even better when school ends at 2pm. HAHA! ok, 5 more minutes. But that means going home to spam tutorials and assignments. I guess I was really lagging behind a lot, when the rest are like at least 2-3 tutorials ahead of me...

4min left. Yea, but on a side note, 32 more days till end of promos! Hell yeah! Positive mindset FTW! Having actual A level SPA this week, wednesday and thursday. 3 min left. And it feels as if this week is the last week of school, because of the long chain of holiday waiting for us (: That only means more mugging actually. I will stop here and spend the other 2min checking updates on twitter and facebook. HAHA! Good luck guys! (:

2011-08-13T18:23:00.002+08:00

Ok, so life has been awesome! Especially when we had a 5-days-off-and-only-2-school-days week. HAHA How I wished life is like that all the time. Like we slack off at home for the weekdays and then head to school during the weekends. Life will be so so so great. But yea, it will totally happen...

So promos are coming in like 4 weeks time and we are still learning what we are tested on? Totally reminded me about the post-prelims period. #justsaying Can't believe how much has this trend '#' thingy has entered our lives. Everyone is using it every now and then. Like on FB, in sms, even in normal conversation. But this is not the point. The point is PROMOS are god damn near! Cant wait for it to be over. So many things to look forward to! Finishing PW, VA, maybe P cube, VOG planning, Music fest planning, or and not forgetting OGL interview and preparation for Orientation 2012!

Speaking of OGL interview, I swear it is god damn fun and hilarious! You get to like sabo so many people, and sometimes people whom you know! HAHA It feels so good to be the one interviewing the applicants. Thank god I did not have to go through such toture. HAHA! Yea, there are kinda like a lot of awkward moments during the interview. Like when your friends are suppose to like seduce a dust pan, and how I can't take it, even having just to listen to what he was saying. It simply spells, with capital letters, G-R-O-S-S! Yea, I am really looking forward to the OGL training and stuff during the December holidays. It will be damn fun with these crazy Ra-Ra people. But first, got to really make sure my grades are acceptable.

Mid years grades were fine. Yea, got back my results slip and my rank points is pretty good. Did not expect such grades and I really am contented with such grades. I just hope to maintain such grades for Promos. Yea, no need for better grades.

I have been kinda like complaining a lot lately. And I cannot help being god damn pissed off in the morning, when commuters simply don't care. Yea, ugly Singaporeans in action. Seriously, does it really hurt to move in?! Or at least let others move, if you don't want to. I admit I just squeeze my way through like an asshole, pushing and shoving others aside (not blatantly of course! It is like how you will be pushed when someone passes through, you get what I mean). But, you can't blame me, I am simply being considerate. There are hell lot of people wanting to board the bus, and wait till you be the one who is left at the bus stop, knowing that the sole reason you can't board the bus is because some selfish assholeS did not budge, you will know how angry I feel. Seriously, just move in! It is not just on bus, on the MRT too! OMG, like can you be more considerate! Please, if everyone is that considerate, more people can board the bus/train and you wont have a problem of squeezing out of the bus/train. So much for being educated... #seriously Ok, end of story. Back to the books (:

2011-07-30T22:37:00.002+08:00

Thought I should at least blog about something before July ends. Well, CCA is gonna stop temporarily because of the Promos. Yea, the school pushed Promos forward, so that we can have like at least a month of intensive 'Chiong-for-PW' period. But that also means that there are lesser topics the school can test us on (: HAHA that is a pretty good trade

Got back GP and Geography results. Was pretty satisfied with my geog grades, but GP was not that good... Oh well... Anyway, school cannot get anymore boring as the weeks passed by. So many tutorials to do. But I must say, I have been dilligently doing all my chem tutorials, which I am really proud of, though I am supposed to be doing my math tutorial now...

I don't really have much to talk about here. My brain is kinda dead, and I can't recall any interesting event in school. So I guess I am just gonna end this right now and head back to my Mathematical Induction.

2011-07-16T20:24:00.002+08:00

Really love this photo. Thought I should share it with you guys. It was a photo I took in the last Kampong in Singapore. Yeap, we went there for our PW project today (: Oh my, I just realised it has been so long since I last posted a photo... LOL!

2011-07-14T10:34:00.005+08:00

Life is really busy now... Promos are in 8 weeks time and I have tons of things to do. School work, House Comm stuff, Dance practices, PW... Oh well, gonna pull through it like I always do! :D haha

Mid years results are not that bad. Got back Bio, Math and Chem results. Was pretty satisfied with my grades, since I expected much lower grades. But GP and Geog are gonna pull me down... ): I just wish for a pass, an E will do...

Yea, it is HBL today, Home Based Learning. I can't believe we have PE HBL... But it is kinda short, so I dont mind doing it. Haha, I have tons of readings for geography to do, so I guess I'll just read on the way to Anderson later. Hell yea, I am going back for council investiture. HAHA, nice timing for a day off (: Anyway, thursdays are really damn tedious for my class. The timetable is really screwed. 7 periods straight before a half an hour break and then 4 more periods... Thank god it ends like 3.10pm, so it is not that late.

Had Feeling Fab last Thursday, so we missed 2 thursday lessons in a row! :D Yea, feeling fab was kinda fun. I mean it was the first time i went to the henderson wave and the tree top canopy walk. It was great walking with the class and we had a great time talking, singing, taking photos and bastarding certain people... LOL! After that we went to Vivo for a class lunch. The most successful one thus far. Everyone was there! :D After lunch, went to watch Green Lantern with the guys. Syifa is officially one of us, since she chose the guys over the girls for the movie. The girls went to watch some bimbo show by Selena Gomez. After Green Lantern, we went to Lan. HAHA! LOL! It was Syifa's first time playing and she died 16 times. HAHA not too bad lar (: Toufiq was so pissed because he had a SC meeting.

Have been so busy with House Comm work lately, that I found out yet another interesting thing about family. But first, I have to emphasize that I really love my mother and I must say, she is the best mother ever and I really admire her resilience and mental strength in striking an effective balance between work and family. Ya, I really love her very much and as much as she has her own flaws, I embrace them with great pride. You see, she has this really irritating mental alarm that never fails to go off whenever I do something. Is like when I did not finish the water in my bottle, she will nag about how you should have at least 8 cups of water everyday, when I plugged in my earpiece while doing my maths sums, she will emphasize how much damage it can do to your ear drums, when I am staying up late to study (really?), she will constantly shoo me off to sleep. Yea, in summary, a caring mother's endless worry for her lovely child. She always ask the obvious, thinking that we won't be sensible or mature enough to do it. It really gets onto my nerves... She never trust us with anything and it is as if she has to be the one doing it, then she will be relieved. Like she has to see me gulp down 1litre of water to know that I have sufficient amount of water intake in a day, watch me lower the volume of the music player on my phone, make sure I give my eyes some 'rest' time after using the computer for a long long time...

In a way, I am kinda like her. HAHA! That's why I am willing to embrace her flaws (: LOL! Yea, is like I don't really trust anyone with the task assigned to them. I will always be part of it, to make sure things go smoothly and sometimes, in my own way. I bet all the House Commers are furiously nodding their heads, if they were to see this. I mean I spammed them with tons of messages to remind them about a million stuff, a million times. Yea, my record was a 17 message long SMS. HAHA! Yea, I am constantly worried about how things are working out and it sorts of make my life really busy and always filled with nonsense. But, I mean what makes things worse is whenever I decide to trust someone entirely with something, more often than not, it gets screwed up real badly. Is like the 'once bitten twice shy' kind of feeling, that makes this 'habit' of mine gets real bad... Yea, it is hard gaining my trust, so treasure it, if I really trust you (: Be honoured! I am really wondering whether all these are genes at work... Hmmm... I really think so. After all, I do see such signs of my grandma being like this too, when she cannot sit back and relax while the maid is doing the cooking.

It will be really cool if someday, someone is able to prove that daily habits are due to heredity. And that means more content for the A level syllabus. Gosh, the crazy mid years has already gotten into me... Wonder what are the impacts of Promos?

2011-06-23T13:48:00.008+08:00

Damn it! Funshion is not working... Gonna fix it after the Mid Years. Well, it is kinda like a timely problem. Haha, stopping me from wasting time watching shows and not revising. But, in the end, I am still roaming randomly on facebook/twitter/youtube. I think I really am super screwed for Mid Years...

Watched Mr Popper's Penguin yesterday with my mom and brother. It was really sweet. As ridiculous as it seems, it is about how love ones stand by each other no matter what. Those penguins are really adorable, although they make terribly unbearable honking.

My dad told me this, that when my mom was pregnant with my bro, they were actually still out having fun, doing all those adventurous stuff, like the speed boating down the rapids in one of the stream in New Zealand, taking the 360degrees crazy roller coaster and stuff like that. That explains why my brother is always doing all sorts of crazy stuff, forever trying new things and going all out for anything. But for my case, it was all those careful planning in hope for a healthy baby and smoother delivery, because my brother was down some yellow disease and the delivery was not smooth. Yea, strict diet, more therapies, less stress, and all those precaution and stuff. And today, here I stand (well, sit in this case as I blog), as a refine gentleman, with skills needed for independence, as a symbol of hope and trust, the pilot of my life, steering the path of great success.

Oh well, this is not a post to boast about myself. It is just some random stuff that I thought of, to illustrate the power of prenatal education. Boy, the mugging is really melting my brain. Gosh, just a few more days to Mid Years... I used to love how exams are all finished and done within a week in Primary school and how I dread exams being stretched over 2-3 weeks in secondary school days. Now, I totally hate the former and wish for the latter. I cannot believe this man. JC is screwing me upside down! Damn...

On a lighter note, Funshion is functioning again (what a mouthful... LOL). This shows how long I took to blog, as I type a few words and move on to fix that software, and how much time I have wasted, not mugging... But whatever! All the best for Mid Years, peeps! :D

2011-06-16T20:56:00.002+08:00

Ok, so the mugging is still on-going. Well, I am taking some time off to enjoy some time to blog about what had happened lately. So, here it is. Have been watching quite a number of movies lately.

Watched Kungfu panda with the gang last friday at Cineleisure. Went to some games cafe at Scape first. Those board games were really interesting. I like the tunnel one. It was really strange. We took a super long time to finish the first round, but speed through the second and third one. Kungfu panda was damn nice. A few touching moments... :') Baby Po is damn cute!

Watched Super8 for the 2/5 peeps on Monday. It was kinda boring, except for some funny parts, especially the clip made by the kids during the credits part. It was a pretty short outing, and most of the time, Omar was trying to show off how 'awesome' he is at guai lan-ing people. As usual, it ended up with everyone bastard-ing me... About the height... Oh well, short people are smart people. It is not about the height, it is about the volume *points to the brain*

Finally went out with the guys on Tuesday for X-Men: First Class. I swear the movie is god damn awesome. Haha, all the history knowledge somehow re-appeared in my brain. For a moment, it really felt like that show Mr.K showed us. I can't remember the movie title... But like what Nicholas said, it did not fit in well with the other X men movies. This movie made me re-watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Yea, both movies do not connect and it is a major loophole. Watch both movies and you will know (:

I must say, for 4 years, we always have the same old problem and that is deciding where to eat. We always end up going to Macdonalds or KFC because those are halal fast food restuarant, and we do feel bad for that 1 guy if we were to dine at some non-halal place. But anyway, we ended up at the food court that day. Went for 2 games of DotA after dinner, and as usual, I was forced to play. I swear I never liked going to LAN, after the I spent all my pocket money and time on playing LAN during Sec2 June Holidays, that it became one of my greatest regret in my life. I never understood why the other guys are so good at it, and even bother to memorise what items to buy to complement the heroes' attribute and spell? I swear, if they teach biology using the DotA way, they will do better than me a million times. Went on to play an hour of pool and then was being chased to leave by Omar, because he is in deep shit for staying out till so late.

Really had a great time with the guys, and I swear I never had so much fun with other friends. Yea, my apologies to the other groups of friends, but honestly these guys are really damn awesome. We can always talk non-stop, be it bastard-ing each other, discussing about not so serious stuff seriously (like how is ProfessorX going to do his business, if his body is paralysed from his abdomen onwards), tease each other or even have deep conversation (in other words, HTHT. LOL), and never have any awkward moments when you just feel like walking away or plug in your earpiece. The best part of it, we know each other so well, it is as if everyone is always present. Damian and Chin were absent because of his china trip on Wednesday and his incomplete robot respectively, and it felt like they were there, because everyone will anticipate and predict their reaction to the things we do. This is the result of 4 years of pumping, marching under the sun, hell PT, camps, energizer, PDS rehearsals and performances. Really miss those great times.

For a moment, I really wished this will happen now. People suffering together to bond together. But it is kinda tough. The situation is different now. I doubt things will work out like how it is before, where everyone talks, hang out together, have fun together without any boundaries in between. Everyone is too busy with their own stuff, with their own life, with their own friends. Oh well, what can I do? Precisely, nothing. So, just let it be, go with the flow and make the best out of it. Honestly, you don't need to have so many friends, you just need some who will definitely stand by you till the end.

Ok, I have run out of things to say. I truly admire Nic's ability to crap so many things out of his mundane life to blog about and make it sound really deep. Well, that is exactly why he is in arts and I am in science stream. Back to mugger people. Got to concentrate man! Inner peace ;)

2011-06-07T21:14:00.002+08:00

So it is the second week of holidays. Quite a number of things happened since the term ended. So yea, here I am talking about what happened

Firstly, the mugging has started. Yup, since last Sunday. And speaking of which, I should be doing my chemistry instead of blogging. Oh well... I have planned my whole holiday, drew a revision schedule and guess what? I cant finish revising everything even if I become a hermit. Awesome!

Went for the band concert last Tuesday. Watch Pirates of the Caribbean before the that. It was awesome. I swear Toufiq is being a total bimbo when he commented that "Wah, mermaid also got black one?". And it was the first time I could not finish a pack of popcorn. Yea, it was still a quarter full after the whole movie. Eka was such an idiot, making us sit through the credits, just to watch a 10s ending. Went for dinner at BK and I swear Jiayan is god damn bimbo too. We were at Plaza Sing, and she went to the lady at the counter and ask "is this Marina Square?" I wanted to 'un-know' her at that moment. It was so embarrassing... Took hell lots of photos along the way to Esplanade. I have to say, the concert is pretty short and kinda boring. Well, I have to admit that I dont know how to appreciate music and the sole reason for going is because that Faggy Ji yang wanted us to support them and was so afraid that there will not be a full house... Loiter around the Esplanade's reception and took photos with the band people in the class. Ok, it is just JOAN and JI YANG. Ya, they are like the class couple.

Studied at NYJC with kx and Vivian on wednesday. I swear it was god damn productive after Vivian is gone, when the complaining stops. Head down to Nex for lunch and went to VJ for the Movie Marathon. It was pretty fun and kinda exciting. HAHA, you never get to race against time like this before, trying to get the movies to work on the laptop. Yea, but sadly, I missed inception. And I slept through Despicable Me. Stayed for the whole thing with Hao Yu and Boon How. Made use of the PT and sang a hell lot of song, with the MICROPHONE. Yea, we plugged in our phones, played some song and start singing through the microphone. And Haoyu wants to join Musicfest next year... Went home, bathed and crashed immediately.

Heading down to Novena tomorrow to mug and going to AMK library, Andersonian's favourite mugging place, to study on Thursday. And I know I am really slow, but yea, I am gonna watch Kungfu Panda 2 on Friday with the gang. I swear I miss their companion and nonsense.

I don't know why, it is still kind of hard for me to fit into VJ. I mean, the people are nice, but I think it is just me. Probably I dived staight into the relationship without any stage by stage progression. Yea, probably because I am too used to being with my close friends in secondary school, that I am bringing that way of hanging out with them to VJ and apply it on the people here. I just feel that being me in VJ makes me kind of like a weirdo, simply because people here do not know me well enough to accept the way I talk to them, hang out with them, etc. This is really annoying. And as pathetic as it sounds, it is true. Oh, the harsh reality...

Disclaimer: To those who want to come to VJ, do note that this is a personal issue. It DOES NOT apply to everyone, so DO NOT let it influence you to not come to VJ.

2011-05-27T19:03:00.002+08:00

Ok, I think i better update this space before May ends. HAHA So yea, school is officially out, and here comes the holidays! But I was never looking forward to the holidays. It just means more mugging and hardcore memory work. This is a reason why, the jotterbook is rather useless. I usually use them as a planner as I mug during the holidays, but now the monthly planner thingy in the jotterbook has such small space for me to write/scrabble/jot down my task for the day. I am just not use to the super big space provided at the back, which is according to each week.

But anyway, the sports season has ended and the match support has ended too. How I wish there would be more of it, but then again I will be missing lessons and lectures... Well, I believe many Victorians have said it alr, but I still want to say this. To the sportsmen, you guys were awesome on the field, exhibiting the true Victorian Spirit. You guys may have lost the game, but you guys won the hearts of the college. Stay resilient and leave your legacy next year (:

Today, being the last day of the school term, I treated myself to a $7+ worth of Sogurt yogurt and a $6.50 Aston black pepper fish. It is kinda funny to know that the dessert cost more than the meal. But I actually had those stuff in the opposite order. I ate Sogurt at Parkway, before heading down to AMK for Astons. Met up with Jia Qin and Hui Xiang to go back for Anderson's sports carnival. We were expecting teachers to stand guard at the gates to stop any of us from coming, but instead, we were greeted by some random student who helped us open the gates to let us in. LOL! Saw Ms Ng, and started bragging about how I got A1 for both of my maths for O levels. Then we went straight for the Milo truck for the free Milo. Saw Mr wong, Ms Mok and Mr Fadz. I swear Mr Fadz gained more weight. He is freaking huge now! Worse than before... Went around the whole place and met many juniors. We then went on to pester Mr Leow for free Chem tuition. Ok, it is just me lar. I cannot stop complaining how tough chemistry is now. ):

The epic moment was when ASC wanted to do a new school cheer. Honestly, as much as I love Anderson, the new school cheer is really god damn bad. I know it is really rude for the students to queer, but I understand why they did that. Tsk, but the most epic moment was when the whole school was supposed to stand up and do the cheer together, I refused to stand. Just then someone whacked my head and said "你以为你毕业了，就不用站起来啊?!" Yea, you got it, it was Mdm Chan. Bo bian lar, so I stood up... Oh well, I did not do the cheer anyway. But I swear it is so bad that it is stuck in my head now and the thought of it makes me really disgusted. No offence, but yea, teachers, it really sucks.

Anyway, I came back home and watched 2 episodes of glee. Awesome man! Love all their voices and watching them do a number always makes me want to be in a showchoir badly. I swear if there is a showchoir CCA, I would have join it. It seems so fun. But sometimes, I do question the show's plot. It is not logical at all. How can that glee club, being so well-hated have all those people helping them to play the music? How the hell did they even manage to write 2 songs in a such a short timespan? There are just too many loopholes, and it really makes the whole show really 'jerky' in a sense and the whole feeling of the plot is somehow ruin. At least for me, I cannot really feel that emotional struggle of the characters, because of the whole 'fast forward' thing. Well, that is exactly why Korean dramas are so so so touching. They work out all the detail and even replay it, so the whole thing fits in nicely, showing the feelings of the character. But sometimes you will feel that it is super draggy. Oh well, being in the media industry is really not easy, especially when you have to satisfy the audiences' taste and all.

2011-05-12T22:08:00.000+08:00

Ok, so life is kind of reverting back to the good old days. You go to school when the sun is not even up, go for lectures and lessons for )(&(%$^%@^&&()*_ hours, stay back for CCA, go home and reached home at 7+, have dinner, do homework (or slack while on twitter/fb), sleep. Such a boring routine, but I cant believe I actually been through it for at least the past 4 years in secondary school. Well, at least it got me to where I am now and it will bring me further, unless I start sticking strictly to it that is...

I have finally got my own House Comm badge. It is really awesome. Love it man, with the my name on it. So proud to have one. No more 'unbearably cheryl'! (Y) Did my first match support thingy with the redshirts today, for the VJ soccer girls semi-finals against RI(JC). It was a really awesome match, and the girls were good, well at least better than me. I am really not afraid to admit that I have no clue about how to play soccer and I am not interested in it. But anyway, it was pretty fun cheering with the crowd, though I was not really the one leading the cheer. I think I at least shouted the loudest? HAHA, oh well, that is not the point.

Really am looking forward to next week. Tuesday is another holiday and there is probably a house comm OUTING! It is really rare to hear the word 'outing', since 'house comm' is always followed by 'meeting' Wednesday will be hiphop dance, assuming there is no changes, and more match supports to go for. Come to think about it, term2 is really ending soon, and the hardcore mugging should be starting...

2011-05-02T15:09:00.004+08:00

So, it was my birthday yesterday. It is really the first time, in 10 years, that I am slacking on my birthday. I mean since primary 1 till sec4, mid year exams are always round the corner, and I never get to celebrate my birthday. I just love it when I can slack all day long, watch Glee and have an awesome buffet dinner yesterday. It is really long since my family and I went out together and dine out. Yea, as pathetic as it sounds, it is true (:

Trying hard to focus on studies now, but the only thing I look forward to, is the long weekends! But really have to get down to business with PW. Done with the Maths GP, but not with the GP's GP. LOL All I am looking forward to and not looking forward to is Wednesday. Oh the irony. Well, Wednesday has hiphop lesson, and it is really fun. But on the other hand, wednesday also means that the next day is thursday, and there is conditioning... Oh well, gonna get dizzy like a crazy drunk mama. Not forgetting the over-stretched thighs.

But another comforting fact, there is no duty for URSA the whole week! :D

2011-04-22T20:04:00.003+08:00

I am feeling so stress up now. So many things to do... I have a whole pile of tutorials undone and yet, so many urgent matters to settle. Life is so hectic. Sometimes I really hope that life is as simple as the secondary school days, when you only have 1 thing to do: mug. I mean, I have never stayed out until like 8pm in school in my secondary school days, and by 7pm, everyone is rushing home to complete all the homework. Speaking of which, I really feel super guilty. Back in secondary school days, you have super duper strict teachers to chase you to complete your work. But now, your tutors only give you warnings and sometimes, dont even bother. You really need that self-discipline to force yourself to do your work.

Just a quick update.

Went back to Anderson last friday for Speech Day. Felt so nostalgic return to my Alma Mater. Got my testimonial and wore the VJ blazer to receive prize as O level top student (: HAHA! Chill keep going down my spine as we sang the School Song: March of the Andersonian. Felt so proud of the Class of 2010 for keeping Anderson in Band 1. We really did all our teachers proud. We proved them wrong, when they doubted us so badly after every common test, every class test, every examinations. Our efforts really paid off well and we kept the Anderson flag flying up high! It was really comforting to know that NCC unit got Gold again this year. It is 2 years in a row man! Awesome job! Unfortunately, there was a super fail Anderson Cheer after the whole thing. Tsk, but we did it again and it was awesome. Had a batch photo at the parade square after everything and it was photo spam. Caught up with my NCC bros and watched 'Limitless' with them. Had a great time with them, talking and discussing about PI and I really love how we can still bastard each other like before. It was a great way to spend my Friday night.

Cleared up the house den last Saturday and it is freaking clean and neat now. GREAT JOB 11'commers! :D And we formed a Thaipan House on that day, as wen qing, jerrell, laura and I went to thaipan for lunch and discussed about house matters.

Spent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday doing up my PI, before finally submitting it on Wednesday. It was such a great relieve to be able to go through this. But there is more to come... Got my grouping and trying hard to be optimistic about it. Ronald and Jia Yan are fine, in fact they are awesome, but the other 2... Just hoping everything will turn out fine, it HAS to turn out fine.

Went for Musicfest yesterday. I really must say, the talents are awesome, but the judges are... All the super awesome singers did not win! WTS!? Felt so cheated... But the teachers were super awesome. I cannot believe who played the drums. MRS TING DID! She has hidden talents. The MVs were also great. Especially love the Dynamite one and the tik tok parady. Oh and the starting video for MF was really good. The effects are damn good. But highlight of the day, an angmoh teacher saying 'I dream for a world with no PW' in a music video.

Started on PW this morning with Ronald and Jeslin. We had quite some progress. Sat in Macs for about 3hrs figuring out what to do for our project. Went to Raffles Place to search for the Isrida tie shop, but it was closed... Investiture is really screwing me all over. Hate investitures. Sick and tired of the whole thing. It really sucks to be doing it. Screw it man! tsk...

And dang! I have not done my e-assessment and the maths test... So irritating.

2011-04-12T17:53:00.002+08:00

Racial Harmony Day is over. All over! :D The wedding performance was better than expected and yea, it turned out fine. The response from the student was pretty good. Everyone was so relieved after the whole thing. Oh, and did I mention I am officially in House Comm? Awesome stuff. That 1 month worth of effort has paid off quite well, and I am really thankful that I have the chance to be the House Captain. Got to improve House Comm as a whole and can't wait to bully the juniors next year :D haha! But on the other hand, screw PI...

2011-04-04T21:45:00.002+08:00

Done with house comm speech. It was really scary. Cracked a joke in front of the whole house and sang an edited version of 'Teenage Dream' Gosh, I can't believe I really did that... But it is all over. Now, waiting for the results, which is supposed to be really soon. Hope it is out real soon, as promised, I cannot stand the suspense...

2011-04-01T21:41:00.004+08:00

Today was a great April Fools. It started off well with a peaceful geography tutorial and biology lecture. Crashed an econs lecture to watch a, well, super fail April Fools prank. But I give credits to their courage to do such something so embarrassing in front of the whole LT. Did our gang prank on Mr Kwok, but it failed miserably. He wanted to point the middle finger, but did the *diao* hand sign. We did the same to Ms Lau too, and this time we kept damn quiet throughout her lesson, ignoring her the whole time. I think she really wanted to bang her head against the wall, because no one answered her questions at all, except for Brandon's occasional 'shhh' LOL!

Crashed the guys' chinese class and I must say, the lesson is pretty fun. Well, the passage is much more interesting than those we get in secondary school. We get those kind of theory, inspiration, dry and boring passages that debates and talks about nonsense that we have no clue on. At least the passage is quite touching and it is a story. A freaking story! Gosh... I rather have such long and interesting passage than to have a short but dry and factual passage for comprehension. But then again, I survived it, so yea, there is no need to complain so much already. HAHA!

I am suppose to do my house comm speech, which is freaking on Monday, 4/4/2011. I really am clueless about what I should do or say... damn it. But it is the last hurdle, yea, so I am going to give it all I've got (: Lastly, vote truthfully people! (:

2011-03-26T20:14:00.002+08:00

Day off was awesome. First, the awesome part was that Zoobi Doobi (Tat huey, Priya, Sanjeev and I) managed to finish the Indian Wedding skit within 1.5 hours. *clap* Next, the awesome-r part was being dragged to Taka's Seoul Garden and had a great buffet lunch with 11S31. Camwhore using Syifar's DSLR too! :D haha Lastly, the awesomest part was going back to ANDERSON and had dinner with the Glenn Gang. A day well spent, but all the homework is really piling up... Geog essay, PI, Bio tutorial, Maths inequalities assignment, GP essay and HOUSE NOM SPEECH!!!

I am totally not prepared to do a speech. In front of the whole house, including the J2s!!! It will be like house comm interview, at a larger scale... Although they wont ask you questions, I have a feeling that they will just stone at me and give me that 'what-the-hell-are-you-doing' look. Oh well, just got to pull through this last hurdle and I will be done. Yea, so if you happen to be from URSA, vote for me! :D

2011-03-23T22:11:00.003+08:00

This place has been pretty empty for quite some time already. Yup, was pretty caught up with House comm stuff and camps and homework. Had 4 days of camp, 1 day to relax, 2days to do up the House Nominees promotional Video, and yea, there goes my precious holidays... ): Oh well, at least I did do my biology cell cue cards.

Had house camp from Monday to Wednesday. Amazing race was fun too, and we came in third! :D Had night walk during the first night and before that we watched a super scary horror movie. It was super scary and really cool at the same time. But I seriously hate the part when the girls scared at the top of their voices. Had pasta mania buffet on the second night and it was awesome! :D House bash skit was an epic failure. HAHA! We laughed our way through, but no one gets the whole meaning of it. LOL! Last day, we had to paint the banner painting area. Now it is super nice. Yea, will take a pic of it real soon. The colours are damn gorgeous! And the slogans are up already. I love URSA's slogan's font. Great design! Yea, I am from URSA house, in case you don't know. HAHA!

Went back to Anderson for NCC camp. It was super tiring to stay up till 5am in the morning to deal with the interviewing of the juniors. I cannot imagine them taking over. They are just a bunch of jokers... But we slept in the AVT at 5am and it was super shiok! AIRCON! :D Had water games in the afternoon and it was awesome! :D But we made Mr Ng angry... Cleared up the whole place and after that packed up and did ber-su-rai with the company. Yea, it has been so long since I last did a ber-su-rai. HAHA!

Went for a Korean Buffet at Nex's Crystal Jade on Friday. And spent 2 days at the airport filming our House Nominee Promotional Video and we totally gave the security guards 2 days worth of entertainment. HAHA! Made a fool out of ourselves and we did have loads of fun.

Tuesday was the day we screened our videos. And we thought Aquila's video will be screened first, but in the end, they pressed the wrong button and played URSA's video first. I was totally embarrassed... Imagine people coming up to you and say ' eh, you are the one who crawled under the chairs arh?' But luckily none of such stuff happened to me lar. HAHA! Tomorrow is VJ dance's performance during assembly to simulate the SYF thingy, I guess... And guess what, I am the Human Barrier. Basically, I just have to make sure people don't enter the performing zone. HAHA! At least I get the best view of the performance. Good luck people (: It is like 6 guys dancing in a sea of girls. But that's not really a bad thing. At least the guys get the limelight, for being the rare species. LOL! haha

And my homework is piling up as I am typing this post. Gosh, hate it man...

2011-03-13T20:01:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow is the start of the week, and also my very first camp in VJC. It will not be easy, because it is kind of like a selection camp for house comm. I must really shine and do well for it to have a high chance of getting into house comm. It last till wednesday and then I am going back to Anderson for NCC camp! Yea, it has been so long since I visited my cca. It will be so awesome. I miss war games so much, because the specialist did not have the mood to play the game during last year's camp. So it was the first time the specialist base had no 'flags' at all. The juniors really took advantage of that. But I must say, after playing this game for 4 years, I am never, NEVER good at it. LOL!

Cross country was really tough. J1s were up against the J2s and that is around 800+ people. Yea, but it is ok, I got 262. But gonna improve by next year. But surprisingly, there were some pretty fast J1s that were in the top 10. On the other hand, most of the top 20 guys were from Lynx... Yea, we had our inter-house cheer dance competition and yea, as usual, Lynx was first. URSA got 4th ): We were expecting at least a top3, but we end up being 4th. Well, that's life. Well, at least we had so much fun preparing for cheer dance. Staying back till late night in school to rehearse and all those camwhoring. They are great memories that I will never forget. You guys are a bunch of awesome people that made VJC feel like home for me. I truly am very grateful for what you guys had given me for the past 2 weeks and I hope we stay as close as we are for the past 2 weeks. Rock on URSA HOUSE APPS 2011! :D

But I am still sick of the song 'We R Who We R'. It is really stuck in my head and really hard to get rid of. Grr... And I dont mean to bitch about people here, but there are really bitchy people around in VJ that really piss me off, even though we only know each other for 3 days!? Can you imagine!? 3 days and I am really fed up with someone's attitude. Tsk, not going to mention anything about that person. Well, on a more positive note, it could be because I dont really know that person well enough, so I should not judge her so quickly. Oh well, we cannot deny that as we grow older, life's facade fades too. Life is really simple, because you can summarise it in just one word, complicated. HAHA how cool is that?! I made it up myself. I am awesome! :D

2011-03-06T20:34:00.002+08:00

Well, time really flies when you are having fun. I guess I am slowly getting use to JC life and adapting to VJ's school life. I am really amazed how the house comm application actually changed my school life. It was really pure fun when I am hanging out with them, doing up the banner and practising the cheerdance. They are really a bunch of crazy people. Well, house comm people are suppose to be all crazy and enthusiastic. I am really glad I manage to pass the interview round. Waiting for the march holidays and going for house camp. It will be awesome.

But the awesomer part is this Friday. The day when URSA house is going to own the rest of the 5 houses. Just admit it, you guys are going to lose to URSA. HAHA, I am so excited about Friday's cross country and VOG. It is going to be a whole day of fun. And guess what, we are having a mass OG bbq after that. No, not just 1 OG, but all 8 OGs are going to have bbq at the same time at ECP. Can you imagine, the whole of ECP flooded with all the J1s and J2s OGL. It is going to be super awesome!

Yea, I am starting to like my class too. I guess it really takes time to settle into a new environment. This means there is hope in my CCA too. Honestly, I feel really lonely in VJ dance. Well partly because I did not make a point to mix with the others, but I just dont feel right talking to them. Feel really out of place and thank god Eric, my classmate, is around with me. Probably it is inferior complex at work again... Oh well, like I have said, since my class turns out fine, I do hope VJ dance will eventually be an awesome 'home' for me. Afterall, it is my first cca (:

Sometimes I really regretted being in the Science stream, rather than in the Arts stream. Those art students all seem so slack and carefree, while science student are all mugging hard... And now we are having a biology test on the last week of school. Well, can't complain too much, those economic students had their econ test last week. HAHA! But those taking both bio and econ, which is the majority of the S3 student population, is so freaking sad... Well, I dont think they took their econ test seriously anyway. But science fac ftw!

sin sin cos pi, 3.14159, Avogadro LCP 6.02 ten^23, alpha helix beta sheet, enzyme denatures in heat, v-square, u-square 2as, SCIENCE FAC SCIENCE FAC OWN(it is suppose to be beat, but i prefer it this way) YOUR ASS! XP

2011-02-27T11:37:00.003+08:00

I know I have been repeating this for many many many times, but time really flies! It is like week9 of term 1 already! Wts! Yes, judging how fast O level year had gone by, it will also signify how fast A level year will come (:

Have been pretty busy with House Comm stuff and Dance. Yea, I applied for house comm and went for the interview. I must say, it is the most epic interview ever! Seriously. Have you ever dance, talk to a teddy bear, cheer with tables and chairs, sing and dance around a guy during an interview?! Yes, I did all those. Ok, it might not be the worst interview compared to the other house applicants, but it is really the worst interview I have been through.

But I really want house comm badly. It is like my last hope of being in a student leadership organisation... Afterall, honestly, Dance does not provide me such opportunites as much as house comm do in terms of leadership. Besides, I doubt I will even get into Exco for dance, needless to say being the President. Yea, I am pretty power hungry in a sense. But you cannot blame me for that. I am like one of the most powerful student leader during my Anderson days you know? *point to side margin, under the profile section* There is a little part of me, wanting to be the legend of VJC, like to be a house captian and exco of dance and yet get awesome grades. But the main aim of getting into House Comm is to re-ignite the passion in serving the school and leading the student body. Yea, I call that being selfless. I cannot stress enough the benefits I have gotten from being in Anderson Student Council and I believe as much as I can serve the school in house comm, I can also gain much more experience. Well, and probably propose some stuff that I have never get to do back in Anderson. I am hoping that my efforts will pay off well.

Dance was pretty tough. I have CCA 3 times a week. 1st training, I was so dizzy after those spinning until I wanted to vomit. 2nd training was pretty bearable, but it ended damn late... 3rd training of the week made my muscles ache till now... We had to do crunches for 10min15seconds, to We R Who We R (ke-dollar sign-ha LOL@ principal figgins) which was repeated for 3 times. I got so sick of the song that my muscles rebelled whenever that song is playing on my phone... Afterwhich, we had to do splits and stuff. Terrible... But I am glad I pull through. Like what the seniors say, have to work hard to improve... :/ Well, no pain no gain (:

~~And I really need a new blogskin. That irritating frog down there is guess what... IRRITATING! LOL~~
ok, it is gone already (:

2011-02-15T19:45:00.002+08:00

I guess I should not be blogging at this time of the day, but instead, I should be having my earpiece plugged in and doing all my tutorials. Did I mention how much I miss Anderson? It is really slack and relax in JC, although the syllabus is like 6x10^23 times more than the Secondary school syllabus. Ok, I am just joking. Probably without the '10^23'. But still, it is really tough. You have to depend on your own. And if the lecturers are unable to cover what they intend to cover and the lecture is over, they will not bother spilling it over to the next lecture. They have plans and they follow strictly to it. I must say, JC life is not going to be smooth sailing. But who said it is? LOL

On a side note, I have decided to run for House Comm. Yea, just going to try for it. Who knows? Maybe I can be the next Ursa House Captain. HAHA! LOL Well, let's not pin my hope too high. But the idea of making speeches, campaigning for the position is really freaking me out. Well, that is for what is happening some time later. I need to get through the interview process first I guess. And tomorrow is the first dance training. Super nervous. I do hope I will not make a fool out of myself. Ok, needa start on those tutorials. Bye people! :D

2011-02-07T19:07:00.002+08:00

So JC is starting. Had my first official school day today. The lecture theatres are not as comfortable as expected, I wonder how people fall asleep in such uncomfortable sitting position. Well, it is not necessarily a bad thing, because I'll probably be awake for most of the lectures, and it is really important to listen during lectures (as claimed by all the teachers and seniors). There is quite a lot of freedom in JC, especially when you get to move about after every lesson. It is really your choice to attend lectures or not, because the lecturers do not have all the time to take attendance. It depends pretty much on your own. INDEPENDENT! Yea, that's the word for JC students.

And just last night, after asking all the ex-chinese dancers which CCA should I join, I have settled down for dance. Yea, I was deciding between CT council and Dance.

Council is something I really love and I don't mind doing it again and again and again and again. The experience in ASC is really enriching and at the same time, unforgettable. I have learnt so much that I believe many others do not have the chance to. It is something I miss doing and I love being in it. It gave me so much memories that I treasure. Those last minute rushing for Investiture, travelling the whole of Singapore to get the materials for Teachers' Day, staying up till 3am to print out scripts while knowing it is your O levels year and you have stepped down, having some much great people around and the awesome council dance. As much as we cried together under stress, we rise to occasions and pull everything off perfectly. And the council tradition of having Macs after every council event was super amazing. I am just waiting for my R.O.D to once again hang out with the people I truly appreciate. That sense of belonging in ASC is also one of the main reason I love Anderson so much and want to give back to her.

But thinking of it, dance is something I wish I can do. Have been waiting for the chance to come and it is really not easy for it to come by. I never had the time to go for lessons outside, even during the holidays, what else can you say about school days. I will be even more busy, tied down with studies and what not. I have no idea where or how did I get that interest for dance, but I just feel like doing something different and dance seems to be kinda cool to take up too. But it also means that I have to give up on other things like council, which was a tough decision for me.

Well, I still made up my mind to join dance. Needa work super hard to master those moves and get an awesome portfolio. The idea of having to take the A levels next year really irks me. Tsk... just gonna enjoy jc1 life, before the hectic lifestyle steps in. Oh well, all thing has its beginning and JC life has started...

2011-02-02T20:02:00.002+08:00

This is my 200th blog post for this blog. HAHA! Cool man! But anyway, VJC orientation has officially ended yesterday. As much as I felt it was pretty boring at the beginning, I am missing it right now.

Got to know my class on Monday and said goodbye to my sub-og, in hope of meeting more awesome mates. Had some interaction time and after that was more talks. Was dismissed after those talks and went to Thaipan for early dinner before the dance auditions. Damn, I was so nervous that I could not even talk to people normally. A senior asked me why the whole bunch of us (haoyu, vic, carey, jk, siying) are hanging out together. I couldn't even answer her properly. Thanks to carey for stepping in to reply her. So it was dance auditions. Gosh the choreography was tough. And I totally forgotten all the steps once they called us to perform it for the choreographers. And we had to freestyle at the end. But, guess what, I GOT IN! AWESOME~ But i doubt it is because I am good, but because VJCdance needs guys. Oh well...

Tuesday was the last day of orientation. Had Outdoor rumble and it was cool. Did cheers and played games as a class. Get to know more classmates too in the process. After the outdoor rumble, we went to kfc at parkway parade for lunch as a class. It is kinda cool to have such freedom during Orientation. Had some awkward moments, but it was still pretty fun. Vj principal officially welcomed us and gave out VJC's badges and angbao to us. And after that, we did all 6 mass dances in our OG! It was awesome! Super shiok to spam all 6 dances. After that, it was the results of the winning OG. It was damn nerve wrecking (ermmm... a bit exaggerating lar). But Calypsol (sp?) won in the end... But still Illura was great! You know why? Because I am in Illura! XP

CNY celebration today was kinda short and sweet. Not too long and not too boring. Had CIP after that, but I was the sorter. Sorted out the food and within an hour, everything was done. (Y) Rushed back to ANDERSON (!!!) after that, but it took an hour, a freaking hour!!! Actually, it is more than that. But it was great to see the rest of the cohort. All of them were doing their mass dance and I was the only Victorian there. Wanted to have a cheer battle, but I will die. HAHA! Watched The Green Hornet with my NCC brothers. Was laughing at Jay Chou's english all the way. Man, I was so bad.

And if you are wondering why do I have a tag on my tagboard saying that I hate myself, then here is the answer. Nicholas, being a sore loser after Deepak and I have successfully destroyed his faux hawk 3 times, was demostrating to us how awesome his new HTC phone is and HAPPENED to used my profile as an example on how his phone can help him to navigate easily and stalk me (:

It feels great to be back in my comfort zone. I really needed that dose of Anderson spirit. Not that the Victorian Spirit is bad or anything, it is awesome. But I am just not use to it, at this point of time. Call me a loser or anything, I don't care, but as far as I am concerned, VJC is still not my home yet. Anderson FTW! :D

2011-01-30T22:19:00.002+08:00

Ok, so tomorrow is VJC orientation day 3. Last day to bond with my sub-og. Clearly, I still don't know them well. By that, I mean I still kinda don't know their names... *guilty* Just some of them... maybe 2. I am like super envious of other people's sub-og. They got more enthusiastic people and pro-active too. Fine, maybe I am the one not participating... Oh well...

But I am kinda scared for tomorrow. It is the VJC dance auditions. I am totally awed by what others can do on Friday and feel super threatened by them. Now I am thinking whether I should even go for the auditions. But just gonna try it out, and do my best, to fulfill my new year resolution. Hope I do get in. I am praying only those 2 guys can dance and all others can't, which is kinda impossible. But the 'GLEE come alive' on Friday was super amazing! I bet there are many underdogs who did not dare to show off what they got.

Gonna go off to bed. Please stop raining by tomorrow morning!!! One thing I hate about going to VJC, is the super long route from the bus stop to the campus. Plus there is no shelter, so if it rains, it will be super troublesome. I really miss Anderson. I miss travelling to Anderson, I miss studying in Anderson, I miss my friends in Anderson, I miss my teachers in Anderson, I miss Anderson NCC, I miss Anderson Student Council, I miss Anderson Science Specialist, I miss so many things about Anderson. I am OAS, officially Anderson sick. For the record, I prefer calling it 'Officially Anderson Sick' to 'Oh, Anderson Sick!' Ok, I just wasted 5min of my bed time. LOL!

2011-01-29T00:43:00.004+08:00

Trying hard to keep my eyes open. I am damn tired now. Honestly, I feel that VJC orientation is overrated. Like people use to say that it is DAMN awesome. But, it is great, just kinda not what I have expected. Maybe it is because I have damn high expectations? Probably because I am not enthusiastic enough? Well, but anyway, today was really unexpectedly fun. Haha, like we had a break and there were songs played in the hall. So everyone of us sort of went crazy and clubbing in the hall everyone was jumping, regardless of which OGs they all and just mixed together and have fun. Then after that, we ie the J1s, made a ring and just have people freestyling to the songs played. Jian Kun and I pushed Victoria into the ring. And after Victoria finished her dance, eventually 3 guys went in and had a dance battle. It was damn cool. The seniors even said that nothing like this has happened before. So, WE= AWESOME!!! :D

But it was kinda boring before that, especially when the rain destroyed the plan of having water games. But we had fun during 'Don't forget the lyrics'. The VJ council was damn awesome. This game was made like super last minute and everyone had fun. Our OG knew the lyrics to most of the songs, but just couldn't get the chance to answer. But it is ok, ILLURA IS FIRST! It was damn exciting. They announced the ranking in the morning and I can't believe we actually got first. But our sub-OG ILLURA 5, in particular, managed to crack the mystery! It is really pure luck. PURE luck.

Well, hope orientation next monday and tuesday is gonna be better. And pray hard my class is not going to have weird nerds and guai lan kia, if not, I will just be a loner...

IL ILLURA IL IL ILLURA! :D

2011-01-22T22:40:00.002+08:00

In life, you do not have to be popular or well-respected and admired by many. Life can be simple and yet perfect. You just need to be Marshall, have a Ted, find a Lily and have a tiny tinge of Barney here and there in life.

That is the thought of the day.

But I kinda need my Ted now...

2011-01-20T20:56:00.002+08:00

I know I am supposed to blog on something, after such long absence. But, I am kinda lazy right now. Plus, my brain is not functioning well after staying awake for about 27 hours? The 10 hours sleep was still not enough to make my brain function properly.

Yea, went for Glenn gang's chalet on Tuesday. Had a great time there and in fact, this is my first chalet stayover during the holidays! So first day, we went there and settle down awhile before heading to Pasir Ris Park, which is just opposite for a paddle. Wanted to do roller blading initially, but the rest were not really keen in doing it, so we ended up cycling. Sorry being a bastard and giving that bad attitude :/ But anyway, spent the rest of the afternoon/evening cycling and teaching waishiong how to cycle, who till now (yes, this very moment as I am blogging), still has not learnt how to cycle. Went back to the chalet at abtout 7 and play DIGIMON RUMBLE ARENA 2 the whole time. It was super fun and addictive man! Had KFC for dinner at 10! The delivery man totally screwed out meal time up. Watched Shutter Island and 'The Uninvited' after Xia Yi Zan Xing Fu. And both shows are about insane people. But I prefer Shutter Island, the plot is better, the acting is better and it has a great cliff hanger. The latter is pretty good too, but I still like the former.

Stayed up the whole night playing DIGIMON, playing daidi and mahjong, and cooking. Yes, we are constantly hungry. Went out at 5 to Downtown East for some salt and sugar, which are both free and available in Macs, but we were stupid enough to buy sugar at 7-11. Had breakfast and went cycling again before returning the bike. Went back Downtown East for lunch and went to WildWildWet after that. Love it when the place is damn empty and you don't queue up for any rides at all. AWESOME! Went back after that for BBQ and for the first time, I was the one who cook the food. It definitely feels great to have food ready whenever you want it and even get served. HAHA After that, played rounds of bridge and asshole daidi, before I drop dead on the bed. Had my earpiece plugged in and slept for 10hours, but sadly, I did not have a dream with Beyonce and Taylor Swift ): And so today, we spent the whole morning preparing breakfast and clearing all the leftover food. Watch the guys play more rounds of DIGIMON and had a great game of asshole daidi. But I hate it when I dropped from the King to the asshole... After that delay for damn long before we decided to leave at around 2.

So life have been awesome, ever since I quitted my job. First there was an amazing week of bbq and campfire. Then a stayover at Nic's house, followed by a so-confuse-over-which-jc-to-go-to-that-I-watched-and-spammed-HIMYM-everyday week. Went for the reverse bungee and extreme swing ride with KX last thursday and it was pretty awesome, though I nearly had my heart vomitted out. Now, Glenn gang chalet had just past. Next is primary school outing, then the chinese new year clothes shopping trip with the guys, probably steamboat lunch (WTH right?) at Vic's house and last clique gathering at Joyce's house on Wednesday. And then school starts already! I really think that this is the very first time I actually truly enjoyed life. I never felt so liberated and carefree, and at the same time partying so hard that I dropped. Gonna miss it when school starts next week ):

Ok, that's all for today. I need so sleep man!

2011-01-14T21:15:00.000+08:00

Marshall and Lily are the cutest onscreen couple ever. LOL

2011-01-12T12:08:00.002+08:00

Ok, so we have all gotten our results. And sadly, I only managed a 7. I don't understand why others who got 7 cannot understand my feelings. Come on, we are all so close to that magical 6 and now all we can do is sit there and stare at our 7. I really wanted that 6points. But actually I am still kinda contented with my languages. It is my first time getting an A2 for both. So I shall be grateful for it :D

So I am settling for VJC, to help me really actualise one of my new year resolutions, which is to balance work and play. I hope VJC can really give me that, but of course, it depends on myself too. Gonna meet new people, probably old friends from primary school. Nevertheless, it is going to be a new beginning.

It struck me hard that VJC is no longer a popular among my friends ): I cannot believe we are splitting up. Even parting with the most hated jerk of all time aka Jerome makes me feel sad, what else can you say about the rest of the amazing people I have met in Anderson? But thank god we don't get to meet up for the results of the school posting. So there is not really an official split up session, because no one treated the results day as one. So it will probably be more bearable to part.

2011-01-09T20:46:00.002+08:00

So I have suddenly thought of something during the campfire. Well, it was pretty random, but yea, I guess I will post it anyway.

Yup, in case you have NOT been reading my lengthy post, and I don't blame you guys (because of it being lengthy and the terrible english), I have been ranting about how regretful I am to have tonnes of regrets in 2010. Although I know I should not be thinking about them, I think it will be good to reflect upon them and on campfire night, I got my answer.

Firstly, I think I did not step out of that invisible barrier that is keeping me from doing things that I always wanted too. There are just too many considerations that I will take into account before deciding to do something or not. I have never just let something be and go out there and do something that I am dying to do. In a sense, I never dare to do those things I wanted to.

I guess I have never truly put my heart into doing things that I am suppose to do. Certainly I set my mind to it, but I guess it has shown that it is clearly not enough. I have done things I never thought I would in 2010, and those are also things that I have regretted doing. I set my mind into doing it, but I totally screwed it up. Those are regrets about not doing something else that is completely and obviously wiser, more mature, smarter and definitely having a higher success rate. I know Jerome will link this to Chinese Dancers, but it does not just refer to my love life, it refers to studies and many other things too.

Ok, I think it is enough, and partly because I cannot remember what else I thought of on that day. So that's about it. Bye people! :D

2011-01-08T21:30:00.003+08:00

Well, a week has passed and Monday is getting closer and closer as I am typing this blog post. I am totally not mentally prepared for the results. All those recent partying made me really relax and I was simply avoiding the issue. However, on the other hand, I cannot wait to get it. It has been almost 2 months of waiting. But whatever it is, just gonna have to accept it and move on. Pray hard it will be good news.

So my week was awesome. Totally awesome! The best week I ever had during this well deserved break after the national exams. Last sunday, it was officially my last day of work and so I am free to do anything I want till school starts.

Monday, we went for soccer in the morning with empty stomach, so that we can have a whole load of fun gorging barbecue meat later on, cooked on that is (LOL). But the soccer game was rather slack and we only played for 2hours, before we settled down for some card games. And jerome was late, as usual. Head down to Causeway point for Seoul Garden buffet with my NCC gang and pohseng. Had a hell load of a time reminiscing the past and laughing our lungs out about stupid things that all of us did. Everything felt like as if it just happened yesterday. I believe they are something all of us treasure and will never forget for the rest of our lives. These memories are just too precious to be lost. As much as we tried to relate our experiences to poh seng, he can never fully understand what we had been through. It was the sweat, tears and even blood that brought us through the 4 years and bonded us together. After the buffet treat (did I mention that I treated the 7 of them to this seoul garden buffet???), we went to catch a movie, Gulliver's Travel. I swear I will never watch a movie if I have to sit in the first row. It totally ruined the whole movie experience. Hate it...

And I decided to go back to school, like any normal schooling kids, on the first day of school to check out how good the new principal is. But in the end, we did not hear him speak because we were too afraid to sit near the parade square and be so out of place. 'We' include zhe shuo, hidhir and I. Anyway, our main aim was to help out for orientation. So we decided to kill time in the library, thinking that we will have ice cream to enjoy, but there isn't any): Had a great time talking to them too, about the updates on our lives, gossips (gosh, are we guys???), religion, reminiscing the past and about other countries' happenings. It was so awesome, until the lower sec kids came in and destroyed the peace in the library. But anyway, after that we went down to the canteen for our breakfast, and half way through the sec1 kids came down. After that, we escort them up to their classroom, before we head back to the hall for the principal's welcome back talk. Gosh, it is the 5th time I am hearing it and it is the same old thing! After the talk, we went back to the sec1 class for some bonding session. Man, 1/6 is so quiet. I am 100% cocksure that I can shout louder than all of them, at that time that is. They were great after that, i.e the next few days.

Left school at about 12.40 for lunch and after that went back home to pack my stuff before heading down to Tampines to meet Hao Yu. That sucker said that there is a direct bus from Tampines to Coasta Sands Pasir Ris, and in the end, we still took the MRT to Pasir Ris and walked to the chalet. It was Marcus' chalet and it was really fun. Went for a dip in the pool with hy, marcus, zengy and gladwin. Playing catching was god damn tiring. We had an awesome time barbecue-ing the food, and not forgetting how we managed to start up the fire using our chemistry knowledge. LOL The bbq prawns were the highlight of the day. Those prawns are not those from the bbq wholesale centre, but those fresh huge ones from the wet market. They are damn chewy. Awesome stuff (Y)

Wednesday was CCA screening day and it totally sucks. It took up so much time that we had to even give Band's cca screening a miss and have it on thursday. So in the end, our campfire preparation time was shortened again. But thursday was a pretty productive day. We managed to complete the banner design and finish teaching all the dance moves for our campfire performance (Y) I was really proud of them for having such an achievement. It was done within 2hours man! Great job 1/6! :D

Cab to Hidhir's house after that with Mr Leow and Zhe Shuo for the 2/5 BBQ. Finally, I got the chance to get my hands on the amazingly delicious spicy marcoroni that Hidhir served us (zhe shuo and I) 2 years ago during a SRP discussion session. The taste was the same? I have really bad memory when it comes to taste, partly due to my pretty insensitive taste buds. But the main highlight of the day was not me being thrown into the pool, not Omar's melted sim card, but the extremely annoying guard who came to our pit 3 times and scolded us like a mad bitch being screwed ( I wonder how a bitch really sounds like). Made a big mistake by ordering so much food, when only 3/8 of the class came. LOL

Friday was a hectic day. Went to Nick's house in the morning and played guitar heroes. Finally had the chance to sing my favourite song, Waiting for the end by Linkin Park. It was awesome and I got 80% for it. HAHA! After that went back to school to get ready the campfire performance. And I was really forgetful. I forgot to bring my empty disc to burn the songs into it for the performance and the stack of books for Fauzan and gang. Both were left in Nick's house. But luckily technology nowadays are so advanced that it saved me and the class. Had 1 full dry run for the performance and let the class have their own time before dinner. The banner was also done on time and it was a decent job. Had a hard time trying to get the kids to cheer loudly before dinner. I was having a sore throat. It is always this time of the year, when you will have sore throat after all those shouting because of cheers. Taught them makan cheer and the ANDERSON cheer. After dinner was the campfire. It was quite crazy and had a great time cheering. But 1/6 is really not a self-motivated class at all. I mean it is totally a basic courtesy to at least clap after a performance, but majority of them did not even bother. Embarrassed myself by doing the GEE dance with the class kpop gang. The solos totally made everyone stunned. The crowd was awed and in the end, we won best performance. Did the OG dance and felt really out of place, because everyone is wearing the orange tee and I am wearing the black one.

After the campfire, went to AMK hub for dinner and then head back to Nick's house for more fun. I have never thought that Cheat can be such a fun card game. Laughed like mad while playing it at Nick's house with Deepak, Ryan and Nick. I must say this was my first sleepover at a friend's house for the past 17 years on earth and it is super awesome! Slept at around 5.30am and woke up at 10am because of Omar's call. Had pizza for lunch, while the guys all sit down and watch this reality show call 'Paris Hilton, My new bff'. At first everyone felt that the show is really stupid. I mean which rich ass will spend thousands of dollars for a show, that has all the luxurious mansions, exquisite and branded clothes, just to find a new best friend. But we were all hooked up to the show, because we were only interested in the bitch fights. And Ryan was really excited about it. The most irritating part is when it reaches the climax, the culmination of the bitch fight and here comes the commercial, which has been repeated for all, ALL, the commercial breaks aka the KPOP-I-AM-SO-EXCITED commercial. Left Nick's house at about 6.10pm and then here I am blogging about my well-spent week.

I do hope next week will also be an awesome week. But it totally depends on Monday. I am hoping all my dreams, or rather nightmares, about the horrifying O levels' results will not come true! ):

P/S TTYM on the Paris Hilton show stands for 'talk to you manana', which actually has the same meaning as TTYL (talk to you later)

2011-01-01T00:04:00.004+08:00

Happy new year! :D

I don't know why I am feeling so empty within today. It is not as if it is the first time not being with friends for a count down. Probably because you know that other people are out and about partying and you are not. That makes you feel really left out. Well, I am working today, so shall give that a pass. And work is gonna be $10.50/hour baby! But it will be the second last day of my free xiao long pao supply. But it is ok, don't really like it anyway. But the red bean paste xiao long pao i really awesome!!! (Y)

So as promised, here are my new year resolutions.

I resolute to strike a balance between play and study
I resolute to step out of my comfort zone
I resolute to explore new things
I resolute to read more and broaden my perspective
I resolute to be more sociable
I resolute to be more considerate
I resolute to keep in touch with my secondary school friends
I resolute to not do anything that will make me regret

This is it. A new year, a new start. A new milestone, a new beginning. I am going to make this year a great year and make sure the only regret in 2012 will be not having 2011 to be longer :D Have a smooth and mind-blowing 2011 people! :D Tsk, another year older...

2010-12-31T15:53:00.003+08:00

Ok, so today is the last day of 2010. This is how fast 2010 has passed. Many things happened. But all those unhappiness, heart break and regrets stay in 2010. 2011 is gonna be a better year. YEA MAN!

And I tried packing my study room, after procrastinating for more than a month, and I didn't know it is such a chore. Well, I think I learnt something from it. Gonna stop being such a mugger. Seriously, I have used up so many pieces of paper for notes that after 2 years, I am gonna throw them away!? What a sin! And guess what, I am throwing away my sec 2 now. And probably some sec 3 stuff. I have so many sec3 and 4 stuff to give away too. But unfortunately, those textbooks are too late to be given to other sec3s/4s. Probably most of them have already bought their own textbook already. And currently, I still have stack of books and notes left around lying on the floor. Gonna need the help of the pro: MY MOM! LOL

Now, before i review my near year resolution, let's sum up the year.

In January, school starts and Euphoria'10 was awesome. Best orientation experienced and organised. Thanks to... ASC!!! Campfire was great and everyone had fun. After that, all the subject teachers will come in and start teaching or start on the this-year-is-your-O-level-year-so-here-are-my-expectations speech. Especially those who just started teaching us this year only. *raise eye brown* LOL haha Caught up with projects like SRP and was pretty stress up.

February was common test month. All the test starts to come in and I did pretty well to get my Gold Colours award. L1R5=8 man! That is the best I've gotten so far. Hopefully the Os will bring a smaller number (: And still caught up with SRP and NCC.

March was also a tough month. Tonnes of school work to be done, on top of the e-learning week for Sabbatical. The 1-week holiday was spammed with extra lessons and more homework. Had NCC camp and I must say, it was pretty much a failure. It was not what I had expected it to be. But it was still kinda fun for the specs, funny and epic moments happened. Deepak was not there though ): Night interview was super hilarious, because none of the juniors were in the right state of mind to answer those tough questions that Jerome had come up with. Jokes were made and many juniors were laughed at. LOL So bad of us. Xiu Ming fell asleep on the podium and was sleeping there all the way till the next morning. EPIC! And had to chiong SRP for Elementz and SSYSF, and CHAOS too

April totally sucks. Period. The most screwed up month. Thankfully, life still moved on. But had a pretty lovely birthday celebration on the last day of April. But the taupok was very unnecessary. Totally unnecessary. They carried me into the freaking NCC room, with the mat all laid properly for the human stack. But it was memorable too. Probably the last one from my ncc bros ): Oh, and NCC became a gold unit!!! :D Speech day, me= Outstanding Andersonian!!! :D HAHA

May was mid year. Did really badly for it. Well, I sort of expected it. Stepped down on 21May. That is really the end of NCC life to me. That day was so memorable and I could not believe I had already lead the company for a year. Regretted not doing my best and totally hate myself for it. Did not get through CHAOS and SSYSF... Screw that. Had our last sports carnival at the usual yck stadium.

June, a month for mugging and catching up. As usual, was spammed with extra lessons. Had science spec camp and it was fun. Did not play dog and bones though, had a captain ball match. It was great. Did some homework and after that went back to NCC for the PDS competition. And we got 9!!! Out of 24 PDS squad. But I felt we were better than some other schools. Ok, but I am contented! :D

July. Omar's birthday is also our last RHD in Anderson. As usual, I got mine traditional costume from hidhir and I freaking wore the same thing for 4 years. It is either hidhir is god damn fat or I did not grow. I reckon it is the former. LOL But I remembering doing a freaking chem test in that costume and it was freaking hot. Weekly test became the teacher's hobby and every week was a tedium. Lightstick night was awesome and that was when it happened.

August. More extra lessons and test. Lessons till 7 became common. Helped out with the NDP parade and it turned ok great on national day itself. The National Day concert was great too! It was our last NDP in anderson and went out to celebrate after that. But the cafe cartel waiter are so lousy that they forgot chin's and my order. Tsk, I still remember it ok!? It was the j8 outlet. Angry!!! LOL CA2 month. Did not improve since mid-year, L1R5=15... Sucky...

September. It was Prelims. Gave visiting my primary school a miss to study for the papers after the teachers' day holiday, namely history and physics. Almost died. But it was on the teachers' day celebration that Mrs Poh told us that she is gonna leave ): And after the 1 week holiday, prelims resumed. Caught my first NC16 movie: Resident Evil 4. It was awesome!

October. The final run. Prelims result was pretty positive. 9 baby! Woots~ Had seoul garden treat from Mr Fadz. And the treat had a 'deep' meaning to it. Is like you do well, you are rewarded with choices, like many choices in a buffet. LOL Spammed other school prelims paper everyday during the study break. And then the real battle started...

November. It was really draggy. Lasted for 22 days. Gosh, glad it is over. Amaths and Chem made me half dead. History and Bio totally killed me on the day. After that, it was prom. And it was the boys' generation's debut performance. Great response from the crowd and guess what, a guy called me 'eh, boys' generation!' when I walked pass him. LOL Didn't know who it was anyway. LOL Worked and play all the way.

December. Kinda getting bored with work. And gonna quit this week man! Awesome! :D $$$ haha Ubin trip was fun, although I fell. Had a great christmas at Vic's house. And Haoyu got my present. Hope he loves it... LOL Currently making gifts for people, to fulfill my 2010 resolution, which brings me to the next part of the post: review of my resolutions.

-Searching for 2010 resolution...

I resolute to do well and ace my O levels (L1R5=6)
~~I resolute to go out lesser and save up more~~
~~I resolute to get a job after the O levels~~
I resolute to guide my juniors well and bring them to achieve greater heights
I resolute to my very best for the last 4-6 months in NCC and Council to set the standard.
~~I resolute to stop emo-ing over small and/or stupid things.~~
I resolute to be keep myself fit.
I resolute to be a better person.
~~I resolute to be daring in my dreams~~
~~I resolute to be less materialistic.~~
~~I resolute to give all my close friends a hand-made birthday gift.~~

I can only cancel the first one next year. Grrr... ... So anxious about results man!!! I did save up for prom clothes and did not go out as much. I got my job at the lousy restuarant. I did not emo over stupid things. I did what I wanted to do. I bought lesser clothes and devices and trival things. I made hand made gifts for my close friends. And I will be doing more, because I have not completed it... LOL

Well, I will blog about my new year resolution for 2011 tomorrow. And HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE PEOPLE! :D

2010-12-28T11:02:00.002+08:00

So like what I have told Omar, I am actually reading. Yes, a book. Not an article, not Nicholas' blog post, but a book! Yea, it is called Tuesdays with Morrie. It is really an awesome book, although I have not done reading the whole book. But I know it is. LOL But I am almost done with the book!

And now, I am down with the last 4 days of work. And I am freaking excited about the new year. I mean I have a lot of things to do (planned to do) and I just cannot wait. Well, I am not giving a shit about the rule of having to complete this year's task by this year and not spilling it over to the next. I live my life and I don't think such superstition is true. So, I have decided to do many many things after this week before the horrifying results are released. All those emotions. Ar... Well, technically, I have learnt how to detach myself from all these emotions. Just throw yourself into it, experience it and you will find that it is just a pinch.

Ending this post with the best quote that I have come across in the book so far.

"Because when you learn how to die, you learn how to live"
Quote from Professor Morrie, Tuesdays with Morrie

2010-12-24T13:33:00.002+08:00

So apparently xiu ming does not understand English. Or rather it is the reverse psychology. Is like when I say something that you will not think of, you will start thinking/doing/imagining it. Just like...

Nicholas Tan is hot...

Ok, I think that is a terrible attempt to demostrate it, because no one can imagine him being hot. So let just stick to the real life example of what Xiu Ming has done on my tagboard. So just a quick update on life.

Went back to school to check out the PDS performers. Played daidi all the way and after that went for a haircut, before heading back home to complete some christmas gifts.

Tuesday was a work day. BORING!

Wednesday was the day I went to ubin in perfect shape and came back with wounds. Tsk, was going down a damn steep and bumpy slope and I think it was the stronger gravitational pull that made me accelerate faster than those in front. As usual, Chin was stoning, when I was busy shouting out loud to both jerome and chin to clear the way. Jerome cleared the path and I was running into chin. So I decided to avoid him, with my swift moves *NINJA*, but there was a freaking dent and I ran into it and the next moment, I was off my bike. And heartlessly, deepak and arvin were out of sight and it took 15min for Arvin, out of curiousity that is, to STROLL back and check out what happened, and was too petty to even help me throw a packet of tissue. But it was fun and tiring at the same time. I could not feel my legs anymore after that. LOL

Thursday was another work day. BORING!

And today, being christmas eve, I am going for a barbeque dinner and I am having a bad cough. Tsk, how to enjoy!!!??? But the crazy bunch is there, so I guess it will be freaking awesome.

Ok, done with my updates. Still searching for my new year resolutions. Last 7 days of 2010... Did I mention how fast 2009 had past? Well, 2010 is like )(*(&%^$^%#@%@$&(*$^#@% times faster.

2010-12-17T15:42:00.003+08:00

Well, life is kinda boring now. I mean I am staying at home doing nothing on my off day! Tsk, that is bad. Real bad. It is going to the christmas season and people are in the christmas spirit. But it means that the year is going to end soon and there are things that I just cannot leave it behind and move on. So many of them. Or should I say, these are my regrets in 2010, the things that I have not done and some things that I had done.

I probably got to start with CCA. I don't know about others, but I really feel like the worst leader ever. I don't think I had done enough for the company and I cannot say I had put in all my effort. Honestly, I was not very committed to the company and I know there are people, who are more competent to take up my position. I know I am not the best in physical fitness, not the best in drills, not the best in PDS, not the best in drill commanding, etc. Probably because I could not really get my mates to listen to me, or rather gain their respect. Secondly, I don't think I have done anything significant for the company. I thought I would be able to do a great job for the March camp, after those experience I got after organising council and science spec camp. I thought I could push the juniors to their limits before we stepped down. In fact, I think I made the least impact on the company and how ironic is that. The leader of the company failing to make an impact?!I know I was not firm enough to hold my stand. I was too soft and that explains why people climb over my head. I am not blaming those who did it, but myself for not being firm enough. And that was exactly how I felt when I was in-charge. Maybe I was too unprofessional, to bring friendship into CCA. I did not want that 3-letter abbreviation to spoil that sacred term.

Well, this year, we got a gold. I don't know how the hell we got it, but we did. As much as I boast about the unit promoting from bronze to gold, frankly speaking, I don't feel proud of it at all. I mean, I do show off after the one year of insult about being a bronze unit, but it is not a genuine pride that is from the bottom of my heart. I don't think I deserve that recognition, if there is anyone who labelled this achievement under my name. However, for the award sake, I do add it in to decorate my achievement section. That is beside the point. There is really nothing for me to be proud of. Afterall, I believe I did not do anything to achieve it, or to even make it possible. I don't recall doing anything to help. It was more of an individual effort for all those competitions, and I did not participate in any of the competitions. I just feel that this achievement has nothing to do with me at all and being the USM, that is the biggest insult.

I don't need people to come to me now, or tag on the tagboard saying, 'eh dont emo lar, bitch.' I just need some constructive comments, from reliable people, that is.

And it took me long enough to edit this post. Tsk... This was since last week! LOL

2010-12-15T21:01:00.003+08:00

POSTING FROM MY NEW NOKIA E5. AWESOME MAN. HAHA. BUT NAH, THE COMPUTER IS STILL BETTER. THE KEY PAD HERE IS JUST TOO SMALL. SO JUST A RANDOM UPDATE AND YEA, ANNOUNCING THAT I GOT MY NEW PHONE TO THE WORLD. OK, FINE, TO MY ONE AND ONLY AVID READER OF ALL TIME, NICHOLAS TAN WEI HONG. THANKS FOR COMMENTING ON MY GENETICS BLOGPOST. IT IS VERY THOUGHTFUL OF YOU. (:

2010-12-08T19:49:00.002+08:00

So, like I have mentioned in my previous (and previous previous...) blog post that I am working. Well, it is kind of getting unbearable there, but there are really some interesting conversation that is going on, which I can eavesdrop while I help to refill their tea cups or clear their table.

There was once 3 Chinese (from China), whom I think are scientist or researcher, who are actually discussing about genetics! *gasp* How cool is that?! I heard them discussing about genes and the economy, how genes is able to determine the success rate of an industry. Thinking about it, it is kinda true. For those with zero background information about genetics, genes are unit of inheritance, whereby it helps to produce certain proteins that determine your characteristics. So along this line, they were talking about how genes can affect the entertainment industry. There could be a possibility that one's talent is also determined by the genes, one's vocal range, acting skills, physique, basically artistic talents and even personality.

I mean, having the talents do not mean that you are successful in the entertainment industry. You need super thick skin and confidence to post your lousy singing videos on youtube and become a star who won a couple of AMAs (if you know who I am implying). And all these might all boils down to the genes coded in your Deoxyribosenucleic Acid, in other words, DNA. Just look at our country. It is probably because of our gene pool that we do not have a Mariah Carey, Johnny Depp, Nicholas Cage, Halle Berry, Ang Lee or Charice among us. The lack of certain genes present probably made it difficult for many local artist to break into the international market using their talent. I do agree that there are other factors affecting one's success, but this is probably one of the factors that has a major share in affecting the industry.

It is undeniable that many local artist are lacking the skills and even the local veteran are only comparable to those foreign greenhorns, or even worse off. I mean, it could probably due to the fact that the population does not recognise talents but only those of face value. Well, I guess that's why there are so many foreign immigrants welcomed here, to help increase the variety of genes in our local gene pool and maybe one day, we can have a Celine Dion born. It does not apply only to the entertainment industry though. The medical industry, research and development field, so much more. Talents are really needed here. They bring in more skills and increase the competitiveness. And there, you just got Biology(Molecular Genetics) linked to Social Studies(Globalisation). Awesome stuff (:

But other conversation are really nonsensical. You have a bunch of teenagers discussing on the techniques of camwhoring, a couple gossiping about how bitchy someone is on facebook, a small kid talking to barney and even a mom forcing her daughter to eat her pork chop. But these conversation are definitely entertaining enough to allow me to pull through the tiring 8-9 hours.

And Omar, I have just updated my blog. Have fun reading your economic essays and doing those religious mindmaps (:

P/S That technique you used for your revision notes will probably not work XD

2010-12-03T10:00:00.004+08:00

And it is december already. Many are really excited about this month, probably because it is the last month of the year, and a new year is coming, which means that we can put all those bad memories and experience behind and start afresh. Or maybe because it is the festive season, with Christmas and the New Year just around the corner, many are just simply in the holiday mood. I mean although it is the school holidays already, our dear juniors are still mugging hard and struggling with the piles of school work. Pity you guys ): But hey, I've been through it, so don't fret, because you guys gonna go through it too.

But for me, december is not really a special month for me. Well, actually none of the twelve months are special to me, and yes, not even May. To me, it is not really a festive month, because I do not celebrate christmas and New Year. Besides, I am working on both public holidays this year. To me, december is a month of reflection. I mean, being the last month of the year, I think it is really time for us to sit down and ponder about what we have done for the past 1 year and reflect about our actions, pen down your thoughts, etc. To me, that is what makes December worth looking forward to. Oh, and setting for new goals for the new year, new resolutions and new outlook of life (:

So I have worked for a week. Ok, for 6 days. Those 6 days were pretty boring. Firstly, I don't mix well with people of different age groups. Secondly, there is nothing in common to talk about. Lastly, I just don't see the need to get to know them well. But they are kind people, who help me at times when I am facing trouble. Well, endure! 1month is going to be over real soon. Before you know it, you are in the hall waiting for your O levels result. Oh the horror! *gasp*

So just a brief update about my life. Went out on Wednesday with the NCC guys. Those girls are really keeping us apart man. Not forgetting that very comfortable bed of your's, Nic (: Watched Megamind. Went to Nic's house to wake that sleepy head up. But we were greeted with a boner from his dog. We tried to call him from the back alley, and his neighbour's dogs just started barking. Yes, all of them and only Nic's dog did not, and had a boner instead. But it was not a pleasant experience at Nic's house. Got raped by Damian. Went to Nebo for dinner and Taboo was super fun.

Jerome: *Flip card* Hmmm... ... Mr esfan
Me: Chicken Rice
Jerome: *CORRECT*

Went out for the whole day with Haoyu today. Had my first, FIRST swensen meal today. Followed him around for job hunt. Apparently, it was just not his day today. Cheer up bro!!! (: Had ShiLin MeeSua to end the day before going home. LOL

Recently, because of my elder brother, I am hooked up with Pokemon! Haha, it is pretty fun, ok!? Try it if you want (:

2010-11-28T10:07:00.002+08:00

You know, this is pretty damn boring. I have been working for 2 consecutive days and I have to work again later, which makes it 3 consecutive days. It is so damn boring to be working there. Sometimes, there is really nothing to do, even during the peak period and you still have to act as if you are really busy. LOL I think I am developing a phobia for the name 'Din Tai Fung'. They probably never learn HanYuPinYin, and totally failed in translating the pronunciation of their brand. To trust that it is a chinese restaurant. Tsk tsk... I cannot believe that I still have another month before I can quit this freaking job. I don't think I can survive. I need a life, that don't just revolve around work. It is taking up 4 days per week! I don't have time for my friends and my own stuff. But for the money, I'll persevere.

But while going around to serve tea for the costumers, I realise that almost 5 out of 10 costumers have iPhone and out of the 5, 3 have iPhone 4!!! Tsk, materialistic Singaporeans. O and I saw this about 1year old kid using the iPhone 4 on the MRT train. Haha, he was super cute while simply trying to score some points in the game. By the way, he has a nicer hair than you, Nicholas (: And Nicholas, please be ashamed of yourself, because there are AngMoh who can speak better chinese than you, heading down to Din Tai Fung for meals.

Went to send Hao Yu and Tian Ning off to Japan on Wednesday. Rushed to catch the last train back to Tenah Merah and took the train to Tampines to catch the last 72 bus back home. Tsk, Chee Ian is really obsessed by KPOP and he is willing to give up studies in Singapore to invest in a career in the korean entertainment industry. And he is singing all the way from Tampines back to Hougang. Ok, not really for the whole journey, but almost the whole journey.

Slacked at home for the whole day on Thursday. It was really damn boring, and I had nothing to do, other than watching GLEE (!) . LOL, but I don't know why, glee seems to be getting kinda boring now. But I'll still watch the show for their amazing songs!

There is really nothing much to update about. Life is kinda boring, because of work work work and more work. I rather study for O levels again, you know. Haha

Many things happened in the past few days.

Prom on last friday. Had dance practice for the whole week just for that 4min13seconds performance. Apparently arvin was really committed to the dance practices. LOL We explored many places for our dance and carpark was the best place. Haha guess what, I was my idea!!! (: Practised the dance awhile on friday morning, before heading down to the hotel to put our stuff and settle down, before our dry run. Rushed to get ready after that, because the girls were late and we were waiting to put on foundation. LMAO! Needa conceal those red pimple spots. And guess what, the food that we got was the same as last year's. We had our performance at a pretty late time slot, at around 9.10pm. But there was an amazing response to our performance, and after the prom king and queen was crowned (Jian Kun and Samantha), we had an encore performance. How awesome was that!? haha To think that fat fadz was pretty reluctant to allow us to perform in the beginning, just look at how we made the night for memorable! At the end of the night, took photos with many people. Did something that I wanted to do... I saw that coming anyway. After that went back to the hotel to change and slept at only around 4.45am.

Was not in the mood for anything after I went back home. Surprisingly, I did not sleep. But I DID BATH, NICHOLAS! Lest you start flooding my tagboard with sarcastic remarks. Went to lekha's house on Sunday with Hidhir (fat). Thanks to his stomach, we were almost late for the movie treat by Mr Leow. He was eating 2 plates of Nasi Lemak and 3 chicken drumsticks and still licking his fingers after he had washed them. LOL Went to Iluma for the Harry Potter. It was Leowster's treat. But the movie was pretty draggy and there were some point whereby you just feel like sleeping. Probably because I was not in the mood for movies. Had turkey cuisine for dinner. It was god damn meaty, and after that, you just get really sick of meat. Went back to iluma for ice cream after dinner.

Went to sign my appointment letter the day before. Yes, I got a job at Ding Tai Feng as a waiter. Head to school after that to go to the CSI exhibition at Science Centre. Free tickets man!!! Haha, but the facillitator pronouce chromatography as chamotography. LOL Did not stay overnight at science spec camp because of work yesterday. Did not join the BBQ too, because I wanted to go for hiphop dance class with Hao Yu, who in the end pangseh me and end up I have to go with Victoria. But Oschool was not open on monday, because of their dance recital on Sunday. Got damn pissed with my mom. Shall not mention. But at least, I saw the new 987 studio at Scape. Pretty cool I must say. And those DJs are really slack. They just play songs and surf the net as and when they like. LOL

Went for my first day of work yesterday. It was not as boring as I thought, but it was definitely tiring. Stood there for 6 hours. But it was a pretty fun experience. Afterall, I just have to bear with it for just a month. I am quitting at the end of december, though I claim that I am working till April, because I am going to Poly. LOL Speaking of that, I cannot help but be really worried about my O levels result. It will be the feeling-while-waiting-for-O-levels-chinese-result to the power of 9. Haha, but still there is nothing I can do about it. I just know that I have done my best. But anyway, hell no am I going to poly. LOL

Sending the japan people off later. I simply hate travelling to the airport. It is goddamn far! Hao Yu and Tian Ning, you two better be grateful that I am going to send you guys off! (:

2010-11-22T01:01:00.002+08:00

I want to relive that moment. The moment you came up to me, tapping my shoulder, asking me to take a photo with you. The moment you had your arms around mine and smiled irresistibly. I just want to relive that moment and let time freezes to enjoy every bit of happiness within me. Because that moment was the very first and the last time such miracles will happen...

2010-11-18T17:56:00.003+08:00

Damn it, I have forgotten about my review on the Biology MCQ. But it wasn't worth mentioning about at all. I really should have studied thoroughly but, it is all too late to talk about it now. The problem is, it is all so simple and if you studied thoroughly, you would be able to get full marks for it. Blame it on myself for not studying hard enough.

But anyway, back to the 30 days letter challenge. Day 2 now.

Day 2- Your crush

Dear girl (crush sounds really weird in this context),

how should I start? I just I will forget you in 4 months time, since facebook said that a crush will only last for 4 months, and if it exceeds, it shows that I am in love. Well, I do hope I will get over you in 4 months time, because you are really irritating. Firstly, you are always on my mind and I simply cannot concentrate well, be it studies or other things. Even simple things like sleeping are all so difficult to be done. Why on earth are you so evil!? Secondly, you always make me have a mini heart attack whenever I dump into you along the corridor or anywhere it is. Well, not exactly a heart attack, but an increase in heart rate. Lastly, you are just too distracting, period.

Well, first of all, I never asked you to attract me at all. Blame it on yourself for being all so perfect. But, disclaimer, I may have a crush on you, but I do not, I repeat, I DO NOT stalk you. Just leave after 4 months ok? I do not want to be tortured for so long (: Tsk, how gentleman of me... But, I am warning you, come at the right time please. Fine, not warning, suggesting. Not during a major examination or what so ever. Maybe you can come during the holidays, that will be really nice of you :D

Love,
Kuan Ting

2010-11-15T23:26:00.006+08:00

Ok, so maybe I'll start a letter now, for day 1. But no promises for the consecutive letters for 30 days, because I am a busy man! (:

Dear Best Friend (I refuse to name one, because I've not decided who he/she should be),

it is really a pleasure to have you in my life. I mean, what else can I ask for when you are already by my side. I cannot ask for more, for I am appreciative of your presence. Remember those times we had together, those pranks we played on others, those girls we teased together, those guys we made fun of together, those toilet trips in between lessons, those run in the rain, those mentally draining revision, those sarcastic remarks we made on each other, those heart to heart talks and not forgetting those little friction between us. These are just too precious to be forgotten.

Sometimes, I may just be too possessive. I do not really like you to hang out with other people, other then me. But then again, I know I am being really selfish to deprive you of your freedom, so I just let it be. However, I seriously hope, that I do hold that kind of importance in you too. Well, I can be really annoying to pester you all the time, because I do enjoy your company very much, to drag you along into everything that I am doing, to make you sacrifice your own time for me. I just want you understand that I simply want to spend more time with you and not regret in the future for not doing so. I do try to restrain myself from being to possessive, but it cannot be helped. It's my nature. I treasure my friends a lot, what more can I say about you. Maybe it is not the right way to do it, but it is the insecurity in me that resulted in such actions...

Well, to say that we are best friends, sometimes I am just clueless about your world. I mean, I don't really understand you well and deep enough to probably sense that tinge of depression that you are hiding deep within you. What are you thinking about? Why are you so emo? Does Justin Bieber piss you off? Does Nicholas' joke make you laugh uncontrollably like I do? Does a Star Wars movie make you aroused? Do a bicycle and a peanut have anything in common? All of these questions are just unanswered, and well, many many more too. I hope I can uncover more of you and cherish the limited moments we have for each other. But I do know all good things come to an end, as the chinese saying goes 不顾是否天长地久，只求曾经拥有. It simply means that we should just be grateful and thankful that we had this friendship, and be appreciative of it and not be too demanding for it to last forever. I am satisfied with such a gift that God had gave me and I am appreciative of you for being my best friend.

Love,
Kuan Ting

2010-11-13T10:45:00.003+08:00

It is as if O level is over, but hell no. There is one more freaking bio MCQ paper left. The 'Due Date' movie trip yesterday was awesomely fun. Really had not gone out with my awesome bunch of crazy dudes for a damn long time and yesterday was super memorable. But, still, gonna do my review on those papers.

Social studies was on Monday. I think it was generally ok, except for the last 2 parts of the SBQ, which I did not do the commando style. Should have done it, because I did not have the time to do a full format. SEQ was pretty fine too, and Venice came out! *AWESOME* Yea, I had the choice of doing globalisation and Venice, because I did not study governance at all. But Venice's question was easier, so I just dived straight into it and did those 2 essays.

Tuesday was human geography. It was fine too, but I did not have the time to write my conclusion for both LDQs. I did one question on development+tourism and the other one on tourism+industries. The pure food question and pure industry question are weird, so I did not attempt them. But I would not have done the pure industry question anyway, because I did not study thoroughly for it.

Wednesday was higher mother tougue. It was a freaking killer paper. Firstly, for paper 1, the 报章报道was really vague, and we are just clueless about what is expected of us to write about. The 议论文was pretty tricky too. It was about teenagers nowadays do not care much about their appearance and image. Well, to me, the translation for apperance and image are two different meaning in chinese. Appearance refers to how you look in front of others. Image refers to how you present yourself appropriately to others according to the right situation, and it does bring in a tiny tinge of the impression people get of you. Well, I don't really care much now, since it is over and probably my last chinese major examination in my life. The paper 2 was pretty tough. I mean, I do understand the comprehension passage, but it was the question. Many of the answers are overlapping each other. And I did not have the time to do my summary properly ):

Thursday was physics MCQ. Damn it, I have lost 5 marks. Probably more. Some due to carelessness. And it was chem MCQ yesterday. I lost 1 mark. Ya, I really have to blame myself for not reading through the textbook once again. Tsk...

But had an awesome time after the chem MCQ. Due Date was atrociously funny. You have a journey home with a total stranger, whom you met firstly by crashing the car door of the car you are in, secondly by pushing his big fat hairy tummy into your face and thirdly, by getting you into trouble and get shot by a rubber bullet and get blacklisted on to the 'no flight list'. It was a whole lot of mayhem throughout the movie and the occasional, or rather frequent abuse, I will say, of the F word. But it was really funny. You have a sickening and irritating partner whom you have to depend on to go back to Los Angeles on time, and along the way, you get all the bad luck and he is just simply lucky enough to not suffer all those ordeals that you did. It is frustrating and at the same time hilarious. It is a movie you want to not laugh at the painful, physically and mentally, moments, but you just cannot control yourself and burst out into laughter.

Well, probably everyone are out and about partying now, when I am stucked at home, supposedly to study for Biology. GLEE IS AWESOME!!! HELL YEA, SEASON 2 people!!! Tsk, I'll start studying later in the afternoon I guess, before going for a jog that I have missed for weeks.

2010-11-09T12:15:00.002+08:00

2010-11-03T23:17:00.002+08:00

Ok, so we are still in the middle of Os and there are 7 more papers left in the next 12 days. Yes, after 12 days, everything will end! Woohoo~ Cannot wait man.

Ok, so Amaths paper 2 was fine, except for the trigo equation thingy, where I did not pay attention to the quadrants and lost some marks. Tsk, other then that, some careless mistakes here and there. ): Chemistry paper 2 after that. Was really afraid for it before the paper, but thank god, Cambridge does not have setters like Ms Mok or Mr leow. The paper was pretty managable but some questions are totally new. Had never see anything similar before. Got home rather early that day and had the time to rest after the whole day.

Had physics on Monday. Suan the literature students a bit the day before, because they had literature in the morning. But physics was not fine, had a few careless mistakes and the questions are weird... ): Made a few careless mistakes too. Relying on the MCQs to do well...

Had Geography paper 1 yesterday. Question 1 LDQ was freaking weird, it looks like a normal geography question and not a LDQ. Tsk, I crapped a wrong example for it. LOL Should have done question 2. But question 4 has a 13m worth of map skill question. And rivers and coast did not come out, wasted my time studying for it man. Totally...

Had the worst day of my life today. It was history and biology! Can really feel the stress level and was on the verge of breaking down while studying for it yesterday. Mind you, I studied from 11am to 7pm yesterday. Gosh 8 hours straight for hardcore memory work... History was a killer. I swear I am not going to do anymore history. 6 out of 6 SEQs are judgement question. Needa do damn well for SS to pull up the grade. After history, went to the library to study biology. Totally freaked out when I realised most of the things that I have studied during Prelims were not in my head anymore. Tried last minute cramping for all those biology stuff, but Willy and Xianlong were hampering those efforts, by asking questions like how many loops does a liver has and which kidney, right or left, is slightly higher. But the paper turned out fine. My most confident paper so far, I must say.

And finally the day is over and I am blogging here. Slept from 5.30 to 8pm just now and wanted to practise SBQ at 9.30pm, but gave up at 10.30pm after just completing 1 AKFD question. LOL Gonna chiong tomorrow for SS and human geography. After next tuesday, its Higher Chinese, and then paper 1 all the way! And it will all end. AWESOME!!! :D

2010-10-28T18:49:00.002+08:00

Ok, 2 subjects down, 7 more to go. English paper was fine, but I found out I had 1 spelling mistake for my paper1. LOL But I don't really have time to check through my essay and speech for any tense error. And yes, speech came out. I hope I will do well for it, especially when it came out for both CA2 and prelims. I wrote an argumentative this time round, 'some said internet had brought more harm than good. What is your view?'. I was contemplating about whether it is a discursive or argumentative essay, but the key word here is 'is', so one-sided argument people! Tsk, but the sad thing was, Omar told me that botak boy, Nicholas, wrote the same question as I. That really hit me hard, especially after feeling quite confident about my language and argument.

(In case you don't know, it is a compliment, Nic.(: ) <-- I just gave you a double smiley. haha which ever way you look at it, it is a happy face. LOL

Moving on, the comprehension passage was comprehensible. For the first time! LOL I think the Cambridge examiners really love animals. They had cat for 1 year, whales for another and this year bee as their passage topic. LOL But the summary was pretty screwed.

Emaths paper 1 was easy. But I had a few careless mistakes ): But Paper 2 was easier than expected too. I mean when you get an easy paper 1, you will expect paper 2 to be a killer, but I guess Cambridge was being kind. However, this means that more people will do well and so the bell curve is higher, and probably, a 85 is only an A2. tsk tsk...

Just had Amaths paper 1 today. It was pretty fine too, except for some questions that I got stuck at for awhile. Trigo equations did not come out, so i guess it will tomorrow. Same goes to plane geometry, area under curve, motion of particle, discriminant and trigo identities. Damn all these are major topics... And Chemistry is tomorrow too! Yet I am wasting time here blogging.

All the best for the upcoming papers! :D

2010-10-23T01:47:00.002+08:00

Screw O levels, period.

2010-10-17T12:56:00.004+08:00

Ok, so now half of the study leave is gone. Pretty much satisfy with my progress for maths. Mind you, I did 1 set of maths paper everyday and 1 set= paper1+paper2. Well, it may not be a lot for maths fanatic like Anees, but it is really draining for me already. Plus, I don't just do maths like for the whole day. I do revise other subjects too. That brings me to the next point. I took a new foolscap pad last sunday and had 2 new pen refills last monday, and today they are all used up. It just shows how much work I have done. I mean, a foolscap pad use to last for at least a month and a pen refill will last for about a month and a half. And now, a week?!

I think I really need to take a break, chuck those pile of work aside and go out and take a breather. This mentally-draining revision process is really invading my mind. I mean it is really irritating that everything you see gets linked to something in your textbook or notes. I cannot eat in peace, because the whole digestion process keeps on repeating in my mind. I cannot feel the freedom of jogging about the neighbourhood, because the formula for work done and principle of conservation of energy keep on surfacing. I cannot have a smooth bus ride, because whenever a poster appears, or flash by, my mind will question how reliable it is.

Gosh, life is such a major screw up. Even a drama series can spark some 'study trigger' in my head, and WALA, I am revising while watching the TV. It is as if my mind is automated to do such things. Yea, I am just waiting for the end to come. But on the other hand, I don't really want it to come. LOL

I don't know whether is it just me, but songs these days to becoming more and more meaningful. Maybe I start paying attention to the lyrics, unlike before. I call this becoming more mature. LOL haha, so being a mature being, I will prioritize my work and stop blogging now.

8 more days to Os!!!! :S

2010-10-08T23:10:00.002+08:00

I think I really must take some time off for this. All good things will always come to an end. Like the chinese saying goes, 世上无不散之筵席. Well, when something happens, we should all be expecting it to be ending soon, it is just a matter of time. And to me, the four years in Anderson is truly a rewarding and enriching journey. I never had so much fun, so much stress, so much work, so much opportunities, so much friends, so much trouble and so little sleep in my life before Anderson. Anderson is really my second home, and nothing can replace her.

Being the last day, Anees asked me during the farewell party, "so what have you learnt for the past four years in Anderson?"

Well, he had a perfect answer, and that is the theory of Anees Newton Inertia, but I call it the perfection of imperfection. Just look at it this way. Quoting from Anees, he gave an example using Janice. He said, if Janice were not skinny (which seems to Anees that it is a flaw) , she will be awfully ugly. But because of that one flaw in Janice, out of all her good points, it made Janice an awesome individual. On the contary, if you were to mix all kind of goodness into something and make it flawless, make it perfect, it will not be a good piece. Due to its perfection, it made the thing imperfect. That's what Anees learnt.

Other then knowing that all good things come to an end, just today, I learnt the biggest lesson of my life, and that is not to regret. I regretted not doing so many things. Not putting in the effort in so many things, and hence the regret now. Afterall it's all too late. Time has past and there is nothing we can really do about it. It is so true. And it is a major thing thing that I had learnt in Anderson, that we should never take things for granted. Grasp any opportunities before it slips away. Follow your heart and life will be much easier. No regrets, no pain. Ya, I guess people just have to learn it through the hard way, before they realise their mistake, and I promise I will not make myself regret for anything again.

I am feeling real empty inside me. We are leaving Anderson real soon. Well, we may be sad now, but the real torment is not when you realised you lose Anderson, but when you realised the difference in daily life, without having Anderson. Thats the real pain. But do press on for the O levels. We gonna do Anderson proud! All the best! :D

Ever onward Andersonians
Always ready to go
With contancy and purpose
To failure we'll say no
Progress is what we aim for
Success is in our sight
So marching forward and never backward
The future will be bright

Ever onward Andersonnians
Will be loyal and true
And not forgetting our alma mater
In everything we do
Steadfast and always active
In work and in our play
So striving for a spotless reputation
We keep in that way

2010-10-03T20:40:00.002+08:00

3 more weeks and O level is starting. Which means, 6 more weeks to freedom! Gosh! Time really pass by real fast. To think that O level is so far away when it was january this year, it actually went by like a ZOMG (*(*&%^*&%*%$^$^%$(*^*&%&^$) speed. Its the final countdown already. I really want my 6-points. Like what Fat Fadz says, with awesome results you can choose to go anywhere you want.

Gonna minimise all distractions. Well, I have been saying this in the previous post, but I dont think i did it at all. LOL But I must say, I am pretty excited about the 2-weeks study leave. Gonna study all the way, till end of O level. Then it will be prom shopping, dance rehearsal (provided fat fadz approves our performance), prom, job hunting (probably giving tuition to juniors), complete my new year resolutions, finish up all papers that are undone before Os (LOL), gifts for special people in my life and the list goes on and on and on. But first, I am off to study now. Thinking about all this does not do any good to my revision schedule.

Study hard now and play harder later people! :D Cheers!

2010-09-19T21:37:00.002+08:00

The real battle is ahead. In just 5 weeks time. Time to focus and set my priorities right. Prelims was quite disappointing for some subjects and satisfactory for others. But it is not the time to dwell over it. Buck up on the lousy ones and maintain the good ones.

Cannot dismantle my computer and ziplock everything up and stick the 'To be opened only on 15 November 2010', because my brother needs the computer. I just have to live with it and restrict myself. Discipline man! Need to squash that high inertia of mine. But it is kind of ironic, because only with high inertia, then one cannot stop doing what it is doing already *Nerd!!!* But I am not that heavy to start with anyway *points to Hidhir*

Probably be blogging lesser than before for this period. So to those avid readers, sorry! LOL
All the best people! :D

2010-09-14T15:13:00.003+08:00

If perfect is what you are searching for,
Then just stay the same.

2010-09-10T13:33:00.002+08:00

And ta-da, the one week holiday has ended. How great! At least, I get to sleep about 7hours everyday, for a week. That means, I will have problem trying to stay awake, when I am getting 4 hours of sleep daily after school re-opens :/

I hate it when I have to do maths everyday, for the holiday, because Emaths paper is after the holidays. That does not mean I neglected the sciences. I really need a good Paper 1 score to pull my overall grade up, after screwing the Paper 2. And I still can't find my beret! :(

The library trip yesterday was not productive. Since when was study outing productive for me? LOL Had a hell of a time suan-ing omar, because apparently, God was being kind to him. Haha Wasted an hour just to suan him, before we settle down and do 5 minute worth of work, before we continue talking about other nonsense. LOL How can this ever be productive???

Haoyu scared the hell out of us, by reminding us how many more mondays left to O levels, after school reopens. Well, its 6 more week before O level starts in Term4 Week7. How cool/fast is that??? Gonna start concentrating on my work! Bye people! :D

2010-09-03T22:00:00.004+08:00

I am so glad History is over. It had been so stressful to study 1/2 a theme in 1 night. Physics was pretty manageable, but I still hate lenses. Amaths yesterday was fine too, for having most of the questions from sec3 topics. Higher chinese was an easy paper, but with a god damn difficult zhong he tian kong. But I doubt I can do well even with the low standard paper, by my lousy chinese standard. LOL

Went back to NCC today. Felt nostalgic, but attendance is still very poor :/ Took the part As for drills and had a hard time. I must say, I am pretty patient with them and I did not pump them at all. Haha *self-praise* Well, I mean just imagine what will the other specialists do when they see such sloppy drills? Most probably pump them until they cry or grumble like there is no tomorrow. LOL I do believe in the soft approach. Haha

But, it just occurred to me that my time had long been over. It really sucks. And did I mention my precious beret, that had been through everything with me since sec1 and is stained with all those sweat for 4 years, is GONE!!!??? GOD DAMN IT! I AM REALLY GOING CRAZY! I CANNOT SEEM TO FIND IT ANYWAY! It sucks to the max. I just realise how dirty it is for not washing it at all for 4 years. But I need time to get over the loss of my beret :(

But screw Prelims for spilling over to term 4.

2010-09-01T12:50:00.004+08:00

Happy Teachers' Day! Hope those huge piles of Prelim Papers, make your day as bad as mine! XP

I really hate the Prelims period and cannot wait for the freaking O levels to freaking end! On the other end, I really don't wanna leave Anderson. Well, we all have to. I will be back 1 day. But the idea of receiving our results from a total stranger sucks. Yeah, Mrs Poh is leaving at the end of the year. She was an awesome principal and totally owned that sucky one that I got before. It is as if no one liked their primary school principal. Well, at least I don't.

Amaths and Chemistry are yet another massacre. Human Geography was ok, but I was stupid enough to choose question3 (development+tourism) when I clearly know that question 4 is a pure geography of food question. Well, I hope that I can still get my A1. Amaths paper 1 and HCL tomorrow. Friday is another day of killer papers, history and Physics Paper 2. Hopefully everything will go well.

I should not be here anyway. Ok, bye for now!

2010-08-29T12:13:00.002+08:00

Prelims had started and in fact, a quarter of it is done with.

Biology paper was ok-ish, but I was stupid enough to choose the tougher question, for the last essay question. :/ Geography sucks to the core, shan't mention about it. English Paper 1 and 2 are ok, except for the speech. Ss was fine too, but I screw up the b(ii) SEQ for the Venice question, max. mark: 7m. HCL paper 1 was ok too, and I hope I did do my bao zhang bao dao in the correct and appropriate format.

Having Amaths Paper 2 and Chemistry Paper 2 tomorrow. 2 killer papers. Hope it will be fine and my brain will not fail me. *fingers cross* O levels in less than 60 days!!! :(

2010-08-21T19:37:00.002+08:00

4 more days to Prelims people. Damn...

Have been studying in the school library after school for the week. It is pretty productive, I guess? Wednesday was an awesome day! :D

Had our first late night lesson till 9pm on Friday. Thankfully, it passed by real fast. As usual, the AVT is filled with approximately 4x35=140 students. I have the honour to sit with Nicholas and we have a hell of a time singing songs before the lesson. Well, it is amazing to see how serious Nicholas can be during lesson time. Haha, after all I must say, his SS is god-like. Hey Nic, this is a super reliable source ok? LOL

Just came back from a refreshing jog around the neighbourhood. It was damn awesome. Totally awake now and rejuvenate after doing tons of plane geometry sums and going through hardcore geography facts for the whole day. Gonna start on SS later and pack some of my files. Press on people! Its the final sprint now!

All the best sec4'10! :D

Gosh Prelims are real near already! Damn...

Shall have a short post. Needa study. Had O level English Oral on friday. The reading was ok in front, but I have no idea why I started to stumble when I reached the end. But I manage to get my fluency back. Hopefully it went ok. Picture discussion was ok, but I did not really use any wide range of vocabulary. Conversation was ok too, but the examiners are just to stony (probably because Willy was before me LOL), and they were really expressionless. For god sake, I am just the fifth candidate! One looked super blur and the other had the really strict face. The first question was 'what made you laugh?', so I told a stupid joke and they did not laugh. It was Nic's joke, so obviously they will not. But it makes me laugh, so it should be fine right? The rest of it was pretty ok. But the whole things lasted for less than 10min. God damn it! I really hate it when you have people like Sharmini, Jin Hu and Biao Jin in front of me.

Thats all for friday. Went to the airport with Hao Yu(!!!) and Victoria to send Tab off. Thank god I did not cry. Our attempt to be spotted by korean managers failed miserably. Haha, we demostrated the GEE dance to tab and half way through, we ran off, because 2 security guards came. So we ran to the toilet. Heard that Haoyu, Chee Ian and Calvin danced in the toilet and then the cleaner came in. Haha EPIC! After that went to Macs for lunch and to study. It was rather un-productive. Did only 3 maths worksheet in 5 hours. Bloody hell! Well, actually those are overdue worksheets lar :X Its because mr wong wants to check our maths file, or else those recent worksheets are all in already!!! Grrr... ...

Ya, thats all for the week. Press on people! 10 days to prelims and 71 days to Olevels! Sian...

O, and thanks for the chocolate, Hidhir! :D

2010-08-07T13:59:00.002+08:00

Hey people! Gosh, another week has past, and it is DEFCON 3 now. Mr.K had used up 1 whole social studies lesson to tell us that we have to start studying now.

How useful is Mr.K's SS lesson in helping his students? Explain your answer. (6m)

It is useful in helping his students see the need and urgency to start preparing for their Prelims and O levels. According to reliable sources, Mr.K quoted many examples to illustrate the importance of revising ones work, not just for his subject, but for other subjets too, like chemistry and Amaths. He also repeated his all-time famous quotes like 'If you fail to plan, you plan to fail' and his favourite analogy of the 'vanilla', 'chocolate' and 'strawberry' people. This shows that he is trying to convey that it is important to start to revise and prepare for the upcoming major examinations before it is too late, as the Prelims are starting in 18 days and the O levels are starting in 79 days. By alerting his students that these examinations are around the corner and emphasizing the importance of these examinations in their future, his lesson is useful in motivating his students to start preparing for their revision now, if they have not and to encourage those who have started to carry on with the good work. (L2/2)

I refuse to comment on the not useful part. You guys should be able to construct it on your own. But, I am becoming like Nicholas or Jerome to do such things on my blog, and it is kind of scary. LOL

NDP yesterday was awesome. The parade was pretty good, other than that 1 moment of disgrace when the NCC supporting contingent marched in. As usual, cheryl, who happened to be sitting just beside me, started to laugh at me. Other than that, the parade was fine. Great job people! Colours award presentation was draggy as usual, but it is different this year, because it's your batch mates going up to receive the award. The concert was really awesome! It was quite surprising how so many people still remember those national day theme songs. I did not know that are amazing singers in our school. Well, probably I am too engross in studying. LOL. Anyway, after the concert, went to the computer lab for some game thingy. Haha it was lame to the max. We have to answer some questions pertaining to Singapore's history and obtain funds to develop the country.

Went out for lunch with the Dimeng, Siew Mun, Jassy, Jing Fang, Wai Shiong, Willy, Chin, Xian Long and Jin Hu, at J8's cafe cartel. Apparently, something happened and they got mixed up and chin and I end up not having our food. Well, in the end, Wai Shiong, Xianlong and Dimeng and Siewmun's meals excluded the service charge. After that went to a playground, before buying our drinks and slacking around in the library.

Thats all I guess. I have to start studying now. Bye

PS my english oral happens to fall on friday the 13. Damn...

2010-07-31T13:17:00.001+08:00

Another week has past. It was really boring with work work and more work on a weekend. The worse part is there are 4 test in the upcoming week. To make things worse, 3 test are on the same day. Gosh... But let's not create the remarkable omission. I voted for geography test to be on wednesday, when biology and chemistry test are already scheduled on that day. LOL

Yeah that's what I have learnt in Mr.K's lesson in the morning just now. It is kind of irritating to have lessons on a Saturday, afterall it is meant for rest and self-revision. But the main point is, that lessons on Saturday disrupts my own study plan! And usually, it ends up with me sleeping for only 5 hours during a weekend. Hate it man! But I do still appreciate Mr.K's effort in trying to help us improve as much as possible within this short period of time.

Well, enough of the ranting. Went for lightstick night with HaoYu, Hidhir, Chee Ian, Kai Xian, Rui Ting, Victoria and Dai Qian! It was pretty fun and we managed to get rid of all our lightsticks and badges within an hour and was the first group to hand in the pouch. Orchard was as crowded as usual. Though we reached our allocated place slower than others, we still manage to complete it faster than them. Many were jealous. Haha. Went to Newton Circus for supper and the stingray was awesome! *Thumbs Up* But the ice kachang was kind of gross, because, the stall uncle used his bare hands, BARE HANDS i.e without any gloves, to shape the ice shavings into the 'mountain' shape. Hope he does wash his hand after using the toilet.

Took the MRT to YCK and Rui Ting just can't stop taking pictures of us along the way, I mean, until the train got really crowded then she decided to stop taking pictures. Chee Ian slept like a dead log on XiuMing. But yeah, XiuMing's arms are really damn comfortable to lean on. Haha!

Got to go back to work soon. Gosh, its week 6 already! :(

2010-07-24T14:11:00.002+08:00

Investiture is all over now. Yeah, felt so nostalgic when I got the chance to go back to council room and actually help out in the sourvenir preparation, paint and cut out the decoration, crack stupid jokes and laugh around. It really brings back fond memories that I will never forget. It seems like as if yesterday that I got into council in sec2 and now our time is over, passing down the duty to the 10th ex-co.

The council journey was such an enriching experience for me and I really learnt a lot from it. Been through so much and looking back, I am really proud that ASC has manage to pull through every occasion and rise up to the challenge. As part of the 9th ex-co, I really had the opportunity to do things that many can't and don't have the chance to. From the partnership with mercy relief to organising the orientation, I really benefited a lot. It is just a pity that I cannot teach all these things to my juniors. Well, I am sure they will learn more things along the way, than I do. I totally agree with Sylvia's speech during last year's investiture. It is really the passion that keep us going, not the recognition or prestige. The badge is heavy on our shoulders and it is truly our duty to live up to it's name. But none of it can be achieve, if there is no passion in leading, caring and serving, otherwise known as the motto of ASC. I am proud to say that I am part of ASC and it is the awesomest council that can ever be around.

I believe Wei Jie can really put it off well, just like Hidhir and Sylvia. But the challenges that he is facing will be much much bigger compared to what we faced during our course in ASC. I really love the quote Mr Tan said. Ok, maybe the quote that he quote from the late Mr Goh Kheng Swee. That is to treat what the previous predecessors have done as a foundation and not the pinnacle. That quote is really magical. And I believe, Wei Jie and his council will live up to that.

Well, ASC is really one of the main reason why I want to be a secondary school teacher, not just any secondary school teacher, but one who is teaching in Anderson. It will be cool to become a council teacher if I can be posted to Anderson and witness the high flying 20++ ASC investiture then. It will be so cool! I really cannot wait for that day to come.

Well, for now I just have to work towards that dream and the first step is to do well for O levels this year. But I am still kind of lost regarding my JC choice. Oh well, lets just leave it till i get my results. 6 points, here I come!

2010-07-17T20:37:00.002+08:00

One week has past, and we are again another week nearer to O levels. I really have mixed feelings about taking the Os. I am like half excited, half scared. I have no idea why I am feeling excited, but who would not be afraid of Os, even the stone-est people aka Willy/Chin, will be scared of it.

Investiture is just next week. Really had the best time of my life while being in council, though experiencing some unpleasant things too. But council is really a great place to be in. Although it has been almost 4months since we stepped down, I am still feeling the emptiness within. Invest will never be complete with scolding, people crying, chiong-ing until late nights and racing against time. Hope everything will be fine. Gonna press on people!

Currently rushing my marked 16 geography essays and trying to memorise those hardcore biology facts for the upcoming test. I HATE SEC4 LIFE! Well, but I mentioned about the excitement of preparing for Os right? haha Have been thinking about what to do after the Os. Yeah, will share with you guys next time. O, and I gonna piece my SS mindmaps now. Bye!

2010-07-05T13:26:00.002+08:00

Good news: I have finished my 16 geography essays, when Nic is suppose to finish 32 by the end of this blog post.

Bad news: I just finished watching Glee season 1. Have to wait for season 2, which is killing me!!!

Ok, I freaking miss the 'Eclipse' movie outing that I am suppose to go. But how gay is it to watch the twilight saga with a bunch of guys. I wonder how and where did I hide the embarrassement of watching the first 2 movies, especially when you are hanging out with a super uncool guy. *points to Nic*

Shoosh I am really bored, and the 9 test that are coming up, really are drowning me with super sian-ness. Damn, ok off to those hardcore memorising mood. Bye!

2010-07-02T23:42:00.003+08:00

It is week2 already! And it sucks to have 9 tests in 4 days. Well, at least we have 3 days to prepare. Hopefully the next 3 days will be productive :/ And the worse part is I still have 9 more geography essays to finish up.

O levels is really screwing my life upside down. Well, it is true enough that it is essential and I think watching Glee helps a lot at times. Haha, well, if you think Glee is just another television version of HSM, then you are wrong BIG TIME!

Firstly, Glee is so much better than HSM. Yes, I am a gazillion times better. Better songs, better plot, better acting and better cast.

Secondly, what do you learn from HSM? Nothing, just a bunch of kids going around singing and dancing. Glee has the singing and dancing too, but on top of that, what keep you at the edge of your seat is the amazing plot and the changes in the relationship between people. The twist and turn of the plot make one want to watch the next episode. Well, it is just pathetic that HSM makes you do not want to watch the next scene after the first one is shown. LOL

Thirdly, the craze over Glee is so much bigger than HSM. I mean, what was the benchmark for television musical series before Glee? HSM? O god, forget it. Glee set the bench mark for a television musical series and it has the artisitc aspect of muscial that HSM is truly lacking.

Well, what is the link between O levels and Glee? To me, it is my dream to be a teacher. And coincidentally, episode 19 was about having a dream. I like 2 amazing quotes from this episode.

Jessie St James- A dream is something that fills the emptiness in you when you are sad, and when it is achieved, all the pain will go away.

Tina- If you can imagine it (your dream), then you can do it.

Yeah, it seems hard now, people, but it will really be worthwhile, after you look back in life. Like what MrK. puts it, you never appreciate things that come by easily, but those that you work hard for. It is never easy from the start. Come to think of it, if achieving a dream is easy, the sense of satisfaction of getting it will be gone and it makes the dream meaningless.

Well, before I end, I am making a special mention of Nicholas Tan Wei Hong! Haha, well, it is just that I am starting to laugh at him, instead of his jokes. Ya, it is that harsh reality that, you, Nicholas Tan Wei Hong, are losing your 'I-can-make-a-joke-instantly' touch. Yeah, it is something that comes by easily and that you don't appreciate when you have it. A real life example, Nic :)

Work hard people, 4 more months to O levels!

2010-06-20T23:22:00.003+08:00

Progressing into the last week of the holidays already. Damn the PDS competition which screwed my freaking study plan. My last week should be purely for revision. Because of 2 Saturdays being taken up, my homework has snowballed. Damn it! Now I have to cramp in revision and homework which is 16 freaking geography essays and 1 physics paper 2.

On the lighter note, we got 9th position out of 24 for the PDS competition. Hey, it is an achievement ok! We only practised for 2 weeks, while other schools took 6 months to prepare. If we had the same preparation time, we could have gotten top5 though. Haha

Yeah, it feels so nostalgic reading Nic's blog, about all those it-is-not-funny-but-it-is-extremely-funny jokes. Many don't really get those jokes, and at most laugh at us for laughing at those seemingly un-funny joke. But still, it is those retarded days we spent in the room, teasing each other, fighting around, taupok-ing, wedgie, nipple squeeze, and many many more stupid things. Yeah, it does not really occur to the teacher, that the dirtier the NCC room is, the more it feels like the NCC room. LOL But it is clean to the max now.

I really miss Sec3 life. Although I have been saying this for so many times, ie in sec3, I will say I miss sec2 life, it is really the best year in Anderson to me. Though many bad things happened, many good things happened too. My post in CCA and council, the opportunity to lead and organise events, have loads of fun doing crazy things and seriously, although I am not a professional dancer, I REALLY REALLY MISS COUNCIL DANCE A LOT! I won't mention those bad things, but they are scars that are left behind :(

Anyways, last week of holidays! Work hard and play hard!!!

2010-06-15T18:57:00.002+08:00

Science Specialist Camp'June 2010 was rather fun. I love the late night games and although we did not play dog-and-bone, we had a real fun time playing captain's ball. Sec3 VS Sec4 and others. I got to admit, the prequel of exorcist is really a funny horror movie. I think the demon has raging hormones that resulted in desperation of sexual activities. LOL Yeah, it was not as scary as other horror movies. Probably because Tian Ning was there to be the anti-climax, when it is supposed to be scary. Nightwalk was really funny. ChaiHao and I went for it together and yeah, both of us screamed like hell for like almost everything. The juniors were damn happy and were mocking at us for being such scardy cats. LOL

Did not sleep at all for that night and there weren't any stars that night. Managed to finish 2 chemistry MCQs, and 1 Emaths paper. Had PDS training the next day. Yeah, and it was really surprising that we got into the finals for the PDS competiton. Afterall, we just practised merely a week. But, we ain't that good anyway, so gonna stay humble and just seek for improvement people!

Rui Ting taught me handstand yesterday and I managed to do it. But the photo Omar took was damn ugly. It was slated. Gonna try to take a nicer one.

It is now week -1! Damn! My homework is starting to snowball, because of that PDS competition. My schedule is freaking ruin. Ok, gonna stop using the computer that often. Press on people!

2010-06-08T08:03:00.002+08:00

It is early in the morning and I am already using the computer. Haha, 1 week of holidays had passed. Week -2 people!!! Haha, really looking forward to Science Specialist Camp. I got a feeling it will be the best camp ever. Haha, especially the Night Walk. Cannot wait to see the night skies of Anderson again. Surprisingly, it is always filled with stars. Pretty nice. But the most mesmerising night sky is the one in Bintan. Yeah, sadly it is probably the last camp I am gonna attend in Anderson.

Got to get rid of that procrastinating feel in me and that computer addiction. It is really an interference to me!!! Arh!!! okok, got to go to school now. I think I just cannot really let go of council and NCC. So use to doing things for these 2 groups, and now it has become a habit. But, I am trying hard not to, the juniors need their chance :) Cheers people!!! You guys can do it ^^

2010-05-31T19:20:00.002+08:00

To think that holidays have started, it has just ended. Well, it had ended 2 days ago. And there are lessons this week and the last week of holidays. For the next two weeks, it will be intense homework and stuff. Lessons are also starting on saturdays. Gosh, i guess we should have expected it, so it wouldn't be such a big 'surprise' for us. Lol

Sometimes doing homework can also be much of an interference.
As MrK. always put it: Performance=Potential-interference
Chinese compre passages are really giving me a hard time focusing. It is always so thought provoking and it makes you stop work and ponder over life for a hell long time. Yeah, that is what happened to me. But yeah, it kinds of train my answering skills for free-response question for chinese comprehension, so why not? haha

The passage was about a small kid, who was playing in his backyard after dinner one day. As usual, his mom was doing the dished, but from the kitchen, she could clearly hear that her child was jumping and bouncing all this while. Being curious, the mom shouted and asked," what are you doing?" "I am trying to jump to the moon,"replied the kid. Guess what, the mom replied. No it was not sarcasm, it was not a lashing on why he is not reading or studying, but she said,"Try harder boy. Once you reach the moon, do remember to come back." This kid, was none other than, Neil Armstrong, the first man to step on Moon.

I think Neil's mom's response was really cute and yeah, this passage is really very thought provoking. Maybe not to you, but it is to me, which is why it is an interference. -.=

Anyway, I know you guys won't read my blog, but still, let the complexity of the Internet spread my luck.
To Fauzan and his specialist: Best of luck for Specialist Course tomorrow! :D

2010-05-25T18:24:00.002+08:00

Fuck this. I just cannot get the things I yearn for badly. Never did I have the intention to give up, but it does not pay off well no matter how. Fuck this... totally

2010-05-21T23:53:00.003+08:00

Today is the day, when I pass the pace stick over to Fauzan, the new USM. Yeah, the emotion is setting in now and I really miss all those times we had together as a batch. It really enriches my secondary school life and I will definitely not forget them in the future.

I do hope I had done a good job over the past 1 year, and the experience is one will never forget and I definitely learn a lot. It was a tough year, but I guessed I have pulled through it. Seconday school life was so memorable, and NCC is really part of the reason. Looking back, we have really been through a lot as a platoon. All those 250++ pumpings we did, the drills session, pds training, the hell PT, those energizers, boring trainings we had after school events like Art Fest, and HQ camps were all so wonderful and bearable because of you guys. You guys are just amazing and great friends to me! And yes, you guys are OMAR, DEEPAK, RYAN, DAMIAN, CHIN, JEROME, NICHOLAS, ZHI XIANG and many many more.

I don't know how much I would miss NCC and those fun times we had as cadets and specialist. Yeah, and I did achieve what I aimed for: the bronze-turned-into-gold unit. haha sustain it people, you guys can do it! :D

Putting my No.4 uniform, beret and lanyard aside from now on, and the emotions are setting in...

2010-05-19T21:21:00.002+08:00

I want to sit under the night sky, gaze blankly at the darkness that overshadows the land. Hopefully there would be a shooting star that flashes across the night sky...

2010-05-15T14:32:00.001+08:00

Exams are over people!!! But still, fuck life.

2010-05-10T19:12:00.003+08:00

SA1 was an utter disappointment, even without getting back the results. Totally. It is the first examination that I went in, unprepared and the subject not revised thoroughly. It is also the first examination that I have not much feelings about not doing well. It is the first examination that I started revising only 1 week before. It is the first examination that I had to go into the examination hall, praying hard to get an easy paper, and count my lucky stars.

Emaths paper 1 was a breeze. Ok, maybe I should not be so proud, or else I would be at the same level of arrogance as Jerome XP haha Human geography was ... 1 thing to say, I got to rely on History Elective for my L1R5.

Hope wednesday come real soon! 4 more papers to freedom people!!! Press on! :D

2010-05-07T22:23:00.002+08:00

8 down, 6 more to go!

As predicted, Amaths was really a killer and Chemistry was just a massacre yesterday. Everyone was affected after Amaths (except for Anees) and did not perform up to expectation for Chemistry. I bet Ms Mok is out to make the whole cohort drop to combine science.

Got a glimpse of hope when I saw the globalisation SEQ while checking the Social Studies paper, as I only studied globalisation. SS was generally fine, the easiest paper, I must say, so far among those that we had taken for the other subjects. After that, totally screwed MTL paper 1. The paper that I have to least confidence in. I spot so many mistake, only after I had finished both letter writing and the essay. Damn it!

Went to AMK library to study after lunch. It has been a long time since I went to AMK library to study. Yeah, as usual, Omar will search for his comics, but to his horror, the shelf of comics have not been updated since 2008. Yeah, he had finished reading all the comics already and he could not find any new comic to read today anyway. Ok, maybe 2 comics. And as usual, he would not study, when there are comics around him. Haha It took us really long to decide whether we should stick to studying in the library, go to Hidhir's house or go to other place to study. In the end, we had decided to stay in the library. LOL

Yeah, had quite a slack day today. Did not do much since the afternoon. The library session was not very productive though. LOL Yeah, got to recharge and give it my fullest the rest of examination days. Press on guys! :D

2010-05-05T15:05:00.003+08:00

Ok people, 4 down, 10 more to go! Geography was a race against time and physics was the battle of the wits.

I got a feeling Amaths would be a killer and Chemistry would be a massacre. Got to study real hard. Hope my brains would not fail me tomorrow :/ MrK would have his ultra long Social Studies Extra Lesson tomorrow. Another 3 hours of battle between me and the urge to sleep. haha Anyway, jiayous for SA1 people! :D

2010-05-01T22:11:00.003+08:00

And I am officially 16!!! Gosh, time really do pass by really fast. Well, looking back, I had spent the past 10 birthdays studying for my SA1. How cool is that? Really looking forward to the year, when I do not have to study on my birthday and could just go out and have some fun. I guess it will be my 19th birthday, while I am serving the NS. But who cares, it is sweet sixteen now and I am really happy.

Thanks so much for the birthday cakes people! The chocolate and the fruit cake were awesome. My uniform was really dirty on thursday all thanks to the chocolate cake gang. They just start chasing me around the canteen with cream, yeah i thought I could escape, but I was trapped by all of them and then xiuming managed to catch me by surprise. No one can really escape the wrath of xiuming's hug. haha but it was fun. After that, they carried me literally, by my four limbs to the NCC room, for you know what. They even prepared the mat there ready for it. As usual, xiuming was first. Then damian jumped on us! Wa, but it really bring back memories as they jump on me. LOL

Haha not forgetting the fruit cake gang. It was after english paper, when everyone was so down because compre was a killer!!! Haha I had to feed everyone a piece of fruit, because I was the only one with the knife to take up the fruit. Haha, we cleared the fruits on top of the cake first, before we start eating the cake. Xiuming was an asshole. He pushed my face into my cake while I was eating it. Haha, but after that had SS from 3-7. Damn it sucks.

Received lots of messages today, wishing me happy birthday. And jia qin, you missed the 00.00.00 by 4seconds haha, but its ok :D Thank you guys so much for those messages. Wa, but bastard birthday message of the day really goes to Willy.

'Happy bday to you kt! Hope you reach greater HEIGHTs in the coming year!'
Quote from: Willy, 1 May 2010, 10 04

As usual, stayed at home and studied for the whole day and I think it is rather productive i guess. haha (:

2010-04-17T21:57:00.002+08:00

Elementz was such a letdown. Totally. I never thought it would turn out so badly, but...

Well, shall just move on in life and not dwell on the past.

Speech day PDS performance was such a pity! It was bright and sunny at 3.30, but it became dark and gloomy at 3.45! It was such a small drizzle, and yet Mr Ang refuse to let them perform the full formation. I was so infuriated, and I know many cadets were really disappointed too, after all the effort in memorizing the drills and formation. But you guys were great before that, like what Deepak have said. It was awesome and I am proud of you guys. Just press on and do a better job in the year to come! :)

Well, Speech Day is called Speech Day for a reason and yeah, it is full of speeches. I thought the GOH's speech was quite inspiring and it really made me aspire to be a teacher even more. Sylvia is as good as before and it never fails to garner so much applaud after it. The performance was cool. ATC is turning into a real theatre circle. They did a dance item at the end. Maybe next time, they will start on singing and there would be a Anderson Musical. lol, hey, why not? Chinese dance performance is unique, have never seen such performance before. Band played Nobody and Jai Ho. haha it was quite funny, whether the whole school started doing the *clap clap* thing.

SA1 is just round the corner guys!!! Play hard, study harder (:

2010-04-10T21:52:00.002+08:00

CHAOS is finally done!!! So happy, and that sense of accomplishment really made all those sleepless nights worthwhile. Had never felt so elated before. I am feeling so ecstatic. Haha, but elementz powerpoint and poster are here to bother me. Week 4 is gonna be a hectic week again, with all those test coming up, chemistry on monday, SS on any ss period, physics on wednesday and amaths on thursday.

Affirmation ceremony'10 was really boring except of the Victoria Freestyle and Hwachong PDS. These two performances are really good! It is really kind of sad to see that Anderson NCC to be such lousy standard. There is really a long way to go before we can even be on par with them, needless to say to surpass them. It is possible, but it is extremely difficult.

Watched Sjab and NPCC's ROD, and yeah our's is coming soon. There are mixed feelings, partly glad that finally I am going to step down, and partly sad to leave my CCA. The past 3 years are really a great experience for me and I will never ever forget them. Those pumping sessions under the hot sun, the scoldings, the PDS trainings during the holidays, the hell PT we had been through together, the drills session and the camps, all went by so quickly. It is really heart wrenching to know that all these are part of my memory now. Well, I guess it is better than not having them.

I really remember that faithful day, 15 April 2009, when I received the pace stick from Imran and led the company in the match pass. This year, it is soon my turn to hand over the pace stick to whoever is taking over. Feeling kind of depress now and the sense of unwillingness to step down. Afterall, that beret is stained with my sweat for the past 3 years and memories just keep coming back. I really appreciate what all my platoon mates had given me and yeah, those days were really wonderful :D

2010-04-05T22:37:00.002+08:00

Oh my! It is April already! SA1 is around the corner, while Elementz and Speech Day is coming up. CHAOS due date is like this friday and still have 2 parts of the question undone. Next week is a god damn test week. Almost having test everyday. Total sian-ness! Have not even started rehearsing for the elementz presentation, or rather doing up the slides and poster. ARH!!!

Coming to Speech Day, it really makes me very infuriated. The formations choreographed do not have any impact, and the bad news is that the standard of the drills really made it worse. Totally speechless.

Read through some old messages and saw the 2009 new year message, and it really enlightened me. Yeah, life is really short, so learn to forgive and forget. No point bearing gudges and let anger lingers in you for so long, because it just make life more difficult for you. Things will become so much easier and simplier, when one is forgiving enough to erase those bad memories. Live life to the fullest is something everyone is always talking about, but who practise what they preach? Maybe it is just because they are not willing to give others another chance to redeem themselves, and therefore not giving their own a chance to let go of the anger. With so much anger, how are we supposed to live life to the fullest?

Come to think of it, secondary school life is ending real soon. It is not gonna be like primary school, where everyone does not care about others. I can foresee people crying bitterly, by the thought of parting with each other and embarking on the new phase of life. Yeah, it hurts a lot, especially to leave those whom you had been through a lot with together. I guess, it is really time to treasure those whom we love and cherish the moments we have together. Never take things/people for granted.

Ok, enough of these things. Will try to blog soon :D
