alright so, you'dve thought that finishing the last bit of details on your word document, then printing it out, wouldnt take you too long a time to do... hey guys! im back! and i've got nooze for youu. dont ever freaking try to print your stuff in school. seriously.

so, recently i think murphy's law has found his favorite victim. today was the deadline for the final draft of WR for pw.. uuh yeahh so the situation was sorta like this: my group was about to finish its last touches on the WR, and then print it in school after we were done, and then hand it up. sounds really simple and clear cut right! apparently not..

we made our way to the library where most ppl go to print their goods straight from the coms. well well whadaya know! those coms were totally unable to read our ms word document. seemly our group leader abby had her versions too updated like 2008 while the library com's 199sth versions couldnt recognise a word.

alright no problem! we go to the com lab! afterall com lab coms shouldnt be that outdated rightt. so yeah we were right! we were able to open our WR but there were much changes that incurred due to the less outdated but outdated nonetheless computer.

we were starting were growing more frustrated. we double checked the entire report and fixed any errors that had occured. now we could finally print the damn thing out and go home. you wish.

now we went downstairs to the photocopying shop to buy a printing card(we hadnt done so earlier coz there was never a need to before this) right so i paid for it since i was the guy. we rushed back to the com lab to print the one sided 50 paged tree killing document. whoohoo guess whats next.

now the printing machine stated "insert your printing card into the slot". and we did, and it could not get in. after analysing the machine, we realised there was another printing card stuck inside the machine. so we now began to try all means of getting the darned card out eg. pushing the eject card button, using friction to drag it out, checking the machine options, restarting the machine, plucking out the slot case, dewiring it, tapping it lightly, tapping it, hitting it, knocking it, inserting a sentosa card into it...*~churns churns churns~* HEY WAIT, IT ABSORBED THE SENTOSA CARD IN TOO!

now we were all going the wth omg. "why dont we use the machine in the library!" "but the coms in the library cant read our document!" right so after a while, suddenly the machine randomly vomitted out the two cards. wow okay awesome! now its no longer jammed! lets print it NAOO! putting in our freshly bought printing card into it. *~churns churns~*... "insert your printing card into the slot" BUT WE JUST DID BOWZOE!!! "put in the sentosa card! maybe it'll vomit both of them out again like just now!" anddd thenn

now the machine was getting way over its own head. it began playing games with us by ejecting and immediately absorbing the cards back. so there it went back and forth until after much effort, i managed to grab whole of the cards and pull them both out by force.

thats enough. we're going back to the library and pray for a miracle to happen. back in the library, coms still too outdated to open the document. then abby spotted 1 computer with windows vista! ohh glorious. we tried it and it WAS able to open our WR! rejoice!!! whoohoooehhh... wth, that one com was not connected to the printing machine!

we were really going to just forget about it and go home but i tried asking the librarian for assistance. explaining the problem to her and trying to gain her sympathy. finally she allowed us to try to use one of the staff computers and thats whenn at lastttt we got it printed.

so after printing our WR, we were thinking of returning the printing card to the shop and requestiing a refund since it proved useless. however, the shop was closed. well i guess there goes my 5 bucks.

then we went down to the PW room to finally hand in our work, only to find it ALSO CLOSED! nice wasted effort guys. wth is wrong with this world, seriously!:(

what do yall think of mr bean and jolly bean? my friends tell me that mr bean is way better than jolly bean and all but i always thought they tasted the same! so now on my way back home i was really hungry so i decided not to be prejudice and try out buying from jolly bean.

now there were only 2 guys in front of me in the queue. a small fat chinese kid and another small malay kid. while waiting my turn i looked at the different flavours of pancake. not bad what, they sell it at like 90 cents! its cheaper than mr bean! so will it be cheeze or chocolate... hmmm

after a minute or so i started to wonder what was taking the 2 in front of me so long to order.(was wearing my sony ericsson earphones all this while so i couldnt hear them) so i took my earphones off to connect back to the world, only to hear the chinese kid, the malay kid, and the cashier aunty arguing about money.

right let me tell you very briefly what they were squabbling about. so, the cashier overestimated her abilities to cash in 2 orders simultaneously without getting confused. so now the chinese kid bought his stuffs and wanted to go off already but the cashier lady kept telling him that he hasnt taken his change - a 2 dollar note. but the chinese kid was an honest little fellow and insisted back that it wasnt his! so the cashier asked the malay kid if it was his and the malay kid, also an honest little fellow, said it wasnt his! apparently the 2 dollar note just appeared there.

so the lady told the chinese boy that it must have been his and told him to just take the money. so the boy was like "uhh.. really arh... okay lor... thanks!" and he left.

now the malay kid "aunty you never give me my drink yet!" aunty goes "ah, one cup of %#$^$*, 2.30 thank you." now the malay kid only takes out 30 cents and says" just now you already take my 2 dollars already" aunty looks very shocked now. fumbling for words she repeats herself," one cup 2.30" so the malay kid also repeats himself! "i paid you 2 dollars already!" and this goes on repeatedly for another 2 or 3 times.

now wait a minute if the lady could just think, wouldnt she have found 2 bucks very veryy familiar? its funny she didnt even realise where it went. its even weirder that they couldnt even communicate with each other properly to explain the problem. so now the aunty, not so good in english, decides to speak to the malay boy in chinese! -_- now the kid also gets frustrated and starts mummbling in malay as well.

all this time i was still waiting to order my pancake. however the lady didnt even bother to take my order 1st coz i've been standing there like forever. she kept arguing with the little malay kid! eventually she was like "i think you come again next time bah" but the malay kid now convinced than ever that hes been cheated went" but you took my 2 dollars!" so now me being tired hungry frustrated and irritated by all this nonsense shit, just walked away.

on my way back home, i walked pass a familiar face. he was happily drinking his soya bean drink with the 2 dollars still in his hand. all the poor fools... whats wrong with this world! seriously!

so now i've concluded that i agree with my friends! jolly bean really sucks much more than mr bean.

okay so now theres a work in pw that i actually enjoyed doing FOR ONCE. poster designs FTW:D

2009-08-02T22:11:00.004+08:00

i had quite a nice week. thought it was going to be a killer with 3 tests we were supposed to take but my prayers were answered and 2 of my tests were postponed to next week. recently i've been cutting some slack, not doing homework on the day that i get it anymore, but on the day before its due. copying the answer sheet(Yosua's answers), and procrastinating a lot. so far i've tried my best keeping tip top in my work and its worked out pretty well! but i dont know how long i can keep this up. this week i've found the dangerous lure of slacking around. its really appealing and once you start it really just keeps calling you back for more. also, theres a lot of peer pressure around like certain few i-shall-not-mention-names who perpectually call you a mugger just because you keep up with your work and do well in the tests. but well actually, isnt that what schools are for! the primary purpose of school is to study isnt it. so say all you want man, in the end i still beat you, too bad!;P and besides, neither do i like to study, nor do i do it all day. im just an ENFJ, i still have my social life to help me relax so im good:D

recently i've got a sudden burst of motivation to train and i dont really know why myself! basically the situation here is that our team next year is kinda screwed with all the star players gone and stuff. so far acjc's managed to maintain top 4 in the competitions for the past few years. da yang is really scared we wont be able to get it this year so hes got some new season resolution shit to kill us with 10 rounds of track every other training or sth. the last time my training was so hiong was all the way back in sec 1! but i guess its good luh... especially for me who's got a way lot to improve before im ready next year. also, this week's the first time i used the school gym to play around! its quite fun and i think gymming is really effective so im considering actually going more often for fun!

went to acsi for their little carnival thingi yesterday. it was a really last minute decision made and shaunald and i went down there for the morning. actually thought i was gonna feel quite awkward there but to my surprise, i actually knew quite a lot of ppl there! so it was pretty cool in the end. shaunald also introduced me to a few of his friends. really nice friendly and funny people they are. though its really sad coz our primary purpose for going to the carnival wasnt really accomplished, but instead i saw a number of other long lost friends:DDD if only we saw that one long lost friend we were planning to meet... ah wells!

next week is another long week with tests all over! with luck i'll make it through till national day! till then ciao yall!:D

2009-07-30T22:15:00.001+08:00

so many things i gotta do now, but yet i dont feel like doing them.. im boredd siannss

2009-06-29T14:43:00.003+08:00

its been a long time since i last posted. this holiday has been quite good for me. the initial phase of june i was mugging my head off cause i knew there wasnt enough time to study for the terms cause i was to go to china for more than a week and time was really short. i thought this holiday was gonna be damn screwed. however due to a sequence of turn of events, this holiday didnt turn out half bad.

the china trip got canceled. after much consideration my parents decided to go to aussie instead! so there! aussie was just simply awesome lah. i can understand why so many of us keep migrating there. i was very impressed by their service sector. the people there were really kind friendly and hospitable. they've got that nice cool accent of theirs. and the weather there was like omggg i wish singapore was like that. lets just say i didnt even sweat at all when i was there.. well except in the arcade when i was playing time crisis but thats understandable.

i really enjoyed myself there and im glad i went. it thought me how to relax again and it was a good break from all that stressful stuff. on top of that, i bought my very 1st pair of havaianas over there for just 25 bucks. and a new ~~ripcurl leather~~ wallet(finally) for a really cheap price too!:D and alsooo, i love kangaroos dont you! their just damn cute luh:D we also visited jeanette's family at perth! their house is really nice and they have table soccer there!! they've also wii which we played most of the night away after we had dinner at this chinese restaurant where jian sheng and i were finally able to indulge in our best friend - rice - once again. apparently life is good for jeanette over there. her schooling hours like like from 9am to 3pm everyday or sth like that. its really nicee.

when i got back i thought i was gonna die returning back to this crazy place. was behind time in my studies and everything. but, fortunately while we were away, singapore announced a 7 day quarantine for all those returning back from pig flu countries. so there! im exempted from 5 out of 6 of my papers. the only paper i need to take is bio, my favorite subject.

so things actually falled into place perfectly and i dont think its coincidental at all. i really thank God for everything thats happened here. Hes great and awesome and nothing can take his place:D guess this has taught me too that things dont always go according to what you plan them to. at the start of this holiday i was actually really troubled by all this going on in my head. sometimes you just gotta rely on God and pray coz not everything is up to us and under our control.

went to church yesterday! feel like i havent been there for a while. its great to be back. nat had a high fever and went to the hospital to check for pig flu but resulted negative! though its negative, still hope you get well soon nat!:D

i also got sucked up into the youth day skit next week! its kinda interesting and fun to be part of a church skit again. the last time i was involved was at CCIS when i was sec 1! kinda nostalgic in a different kinda way.

so well now i got the whole week at home. gotta make sure i ace this bio exam since its the only one im doing. but this time i can take it slow(:

2009-06-02T00:20:00.002+08:00

HOLLLIDAAAAAYY!:D time to take a nice long break! okay today i just slept the entire day away. i gotta come up with a work plan so i can study for the term exams once the holidays end, also got many things i wanna do during this holiday like go out with like my awesome SC3, my dearest OG, my beloved 1992 churchies, and many many more! so actually after thinking about it, this holiday is really too short!:/ furthermore now that school's out, my mum is demanding more housework from me and stuff. honestly man, its always the same thing each time, everyone thinks along the lines of "oh holiday! so you're very free now lah! you must spend more time helping out in the housework!(for mum)" or like a "so i can afford to give you homework for free" mentality.

i mean c'mon dont kid me man. i've got things of my own i need to catch up with during the holidays, personal goals to set and i can safely say that my holiday isnt going to be much more free than my normal school day. the benefits of the school holiday is just that we can afford to wake up later, and lesser time is wasted travelling to school. apart from that its kinda the same coz the time spent on doing all the holiday homework and studying for the major exam sorta is equal to the time spent going to school anyway.

currently i've sorta slightly organised my things to do list, my 1st set of stuff goes sth like:
1)prepare for sunday's worship
2)clear the pile of times and broader perspective magazines
3)organise a chennai outing for next week
4)finish all my online chinese assignments
5)and get done all my gp work.

hoping to get all of these done and much much more actually.. before the 1st week ends but im not really sure how fast i can do these things. ah wells! better get started then!:O

2009-05-15T22:20:00.003+08:00

okay so thats just 2 more matches to go. jjc on tuesday and the last match depends.. havent really had time to update it coz i've been having such a busy week and all. promise i'll do a proper one the moment i have the time yeah!:D

2009-04-23T22:31:00.001+08:00

now i know, there was nothing to be ashamed of )':

2009-04-18T10:47:00.007+08:00

this is super awesome! after revising through my econs notes yesterday i wanted to take short nap before waking up, having dinner, and then continue doing work. so after putting away my notes i went to take a nap.. i never got up. suddenly woke up at 6am in the morning. darn it:( its stupid really, exactly 12 hours of sleep without getting up at all!

this weekend's gonna be a real busy one again. got chem bio and chinese CA next week so i'd be studying for them. badminton competition's up in a week or 2. dont even know if im in the team or not. we'll judging by the number of trainings i've missed my chances have gotten slightly lower. i got this horrible flu this week and i didnt got for training yesterday, neither am i today:( im supposed to be singing for offertory tmr so i really really hope to recover by tmr.....

wish i had more time on my hands. barely have the chance to turn on the computer nowadays lah! that explains for my inconsistent blogging. ah wells.... better get back to work! im hoping to finish all my homework and half my revision today. hope i meet my targets.. here's some random photos!

early in the morning 6 o clock. markoos woke up went to school to go walk walk. not really... it was some class cip thing that we had to help out in the last day of the acjc annual swimming meet. really few people went lah but sufficient to make the day not so boring! basically we were split into groups for manpower. like duties like timekeeper, runner, or carrying things around, almost my entire class got the most slack job, cheer leading. not bad ehh:D

still! it was really boring my class started slacking on duty and playing really fun handgames. ohh yeahhh!! the milo van came and i took opportunity of the high quality free flow milo! drank about 10 or 11 cups! bu zui bu suan!XD later we went to the void deck to do pull ups. also had a really long joke telling session by ivfan! shes a really good story teller! like the way she tells it is just too funny:D

apart from slacking at the void deck, we also ended up in the cafe! guess it was rather fun! i also got to hang around with the people in class i talked to less so far! awesomeee! its so fun trying to create an aweome relationship with every single person in class! go class rep! you can do this!!(Monologue-ing) oh ummm yeahhh!!!! i final know how to differentiate between mei mei and mei ying!! no joke! can tell them apart as easy as darren and daryl alreadyXD

after the swim meet, i so happened to meet zihan at the end so we ate lunch at the cafe together! zihan says im always the only guy hanging around with a group of girls all the time!!:( its so not true!! it just so happen that its the case for everytime she sees me! like the band concert! it doesnt count coz usually in all OG outings percy's always with me but in the band concert duh percy has to be performing right! HAHA. and my class only has like 8 guys? so chances are if im with my class, it would seem that way! what a joke lahh! HAHA.

went for to warren really early. started off the training really well but somehow it got worse as the training grew long and i got kinda pissed at the end coz___________ dont mind me. im going badminton crazy. i've decided, im gonna fight into the team already. no mercy! crap this is damn bad but yeah life's like that. so i'll just do what i can to get into the team. whether i do get in or not, well lets let God decide!

after training i went to Joanna & Andy's birthday party! started off kinda weird coz i seriously knew like joanna, felice and leo. furthermore leo and i were the only 2 guys. i only met leo one time before this and we didnt talk much back then but today it was quite good. can talk comfortably with people already:D made new friends with somemore ib people! theres this guy called nicholas from ib squash! JS I THINK HES IN YOUR CLASS AND I THINK YOU KNOW HIM!!!! the guy was really friendly and the moment he sat down beside me we started talking already. made a lot a lot of new friends today. pretty fun leh these kinda parties!!:D at the end of the day we suddenly know lots of knew people!

2009-03-25T23:00:00.003+08:00

arghhh... just screwed up my body clock again!! fell aslp at 5.30pm and woke up at 8pm! HAHA. this is soo weird.. when i woke up i was in total confusion lah! looked at the clock and thought it 8 in the morning! furthermore i was the only one at home at that time and was panicking and stuff. typical blur me lah! XD also sth really really scary. after i woke up from that long nap, i suddenly had this really familiar flashback. okay maybe not flashback but i suddenly remembered this nightmare which i perpectually got when i was in primary school. i swear it was the scariest thing ever. okay it wasnt like spooky scary it was just like... scary! theres no word i can use to describe the exact feeling i had whenever i got the nightmare. it was so familiar and i suddenly remembered every detail of the nightmare then. if i remember correctly, this was the very nightmare that started me praying to God every night before i sleep that i wouldnt get any nightmares a very long time ago in primary school. since then didnt get any nightmare as dreadful as that one.

okay i shall post to yall about yesterday! rather interesting day coz lotsa stuff happened. basically on the previous day, my brother got me to help him collect flowers he had ordered from the flower shop in west mall. i was supposed to give it to a "S"ertein girl in my school for him coz he had to be at camp and couldnt give her the flowers herself. so i arranged to pass it to her in the morning before assembly.

HOWEVER, in this unexpected world, sometimes things dont go according to plan-_- i woke up late yesterday. like.. very veryy late. so late that even the teacher booking late students wasnt even there anymore! mum sent me to school and i just walked into school like nothing. so i was holding the flowers for longer than planned. i was soo sooo scared that i might ruin it or sth, was already so worried it wouldnt survive overnight in my care but fortunately, the flowers were in good condition. i met her 1st thing when my break came and there! mission accomplished:D

such a nice day yesterday coz i didnt even need to go detention since i wasnt booked. so awesome rightt!:D went for gp tuesday in the afternoon which was a total waste of time for me. i only remember the person saying sth about "teach me"... or sth

ahh what happened today arh! i know today was the shortest day ever! wednesdays are the best please coz my school ends at 1.50, the earliest it'll ever get. went to broadway to have lunch with mivio joanna and julian! then later on when mivio and joanna's friends from acsib came i felt quite awkward coz i didnt know what to say to them. they were very friendly and everything but i just couldnt seem to think of the right topic to talk to them about so i just kept quiet most of the time and listen to them make fun of mivio:P

after lunch julian and i managed to "escape" from going orchard. the rest took a cab to town. pretty interesting encounter with people of really different culture to me. partially why i couldnt think of anything to talk about. too different. but nvm i'll try again next time when i see them all again:D

right i shud probably try to start sleeping now since i still got school tmr. tata yall! XD

Anon: omg you actually bothered to think until so complexed-_- whatever man im not that free! LOL

En Li: its okay lee! you dont have to fend for me. thanks (: wa crap you got lotsa computer time now right! so good lahh!!

mel: lol the tb's like retarded now. thanks for speaking up mel (:

2009-03-13T22:55:00.002+08:00

hey yalll!!! its the march holidayss!!! awesomeee! time to go out with friends and get back my sleeping time! quite sad though coz i got quite a lot of holiday homework. the thought of it just seriously bugs mee!! NGAARHHH :((

theres gonna be a badminton camp from monday to wednesday too. that means majority of my holiday spent too... but i hope the camp is fun at least! then i wont feel its that bad! this holiday i also wanna go out with my OG! :D we're still as tight as every i tell you! XD

oh yeaa! tmr is like felice's piano theory paper! everyone pray for her okay! but anyway felice! i think you're gonna do well coz you're really smart and all!:D

im writing in really short paragraphs coz i dont know i just forgot what i wanted to post about earlier!!

ahh recently my tagboard has been really alive!! awesomee!! however the content of tags have been kinda screwedd. but i shall try to address that. heh.. anyway anonymous! im sure you didnt just tag for the fun of it! what you said you must have meant it so thanks for your concern! i'll keep what you say in mind! :D

ohh nooos! training tmr is 11am. have another traning later on in the day at 4.30 WOO! i feel hardcore noww! XD

2009-03-10T00:11:00.002+08:00

yooo people!!! today was probably the most slack monday i had so far! didnt get much homework at all and though i had training until like 7.30 and was so tiredd until dunno whatt... its okay coz i've been having lots and lots of fun!

tmr's gonna be quite a busy day though... i shud be getting to sleep as soon as i finish this post! after school ends at 4.10 im planning to try and rush down back to sji before 5. dont know if thats possible but yeahh! coz i gotta go collect my O lvl cert from the general office or sth like thatt... i've planned my route for the day already. after that its 186 to church then queensway to buy a schoolbag then 195 to river valley road there to collect my diploma cert, then go home! see, all planned out. the only thing that could happen now that would disrupt all my plans is... homework. if i get like loads of homework tmr i'd be really depress and probably have to postpone my collection plans to some other day:(

ohhh yeahhh, ya know ever since i've entered ac. i've come to look forward to school everyday, never thought school could be this tiring and fun at the same time.

change! i gotta say i think i have changed since school started in a sense that im way more busy now, so much so that reaching home when the sky is bright almost feels weird. but its really kinda amusing to see that people actually think that my attitude has changed, even more amusing to see that someone thinks that school has got to do with it! its been like say a month and and a week since the first day of school and the school is still relatively new to me in terms of school culture and school premises. and now someone has mentioned that theres a contrast. i believe its just utterly ridiculous to assume that the cause of the contrast is from the school.

i know full well that there are school prejudices about the ac culture. even if it is true that there is a certain culture the school tends to have. i believe it is just unreasonable and naive of someone to take an individual, and judge him by his school. i mean dudee.. even i dont do that. and truthfully, i guess there is a difference in culture from my previous school to acjc. however i havent experienced any culture shock since day 1, and thats coz i simply did not have the sji culture to begin with. so right now, im fitting in just fine and truthfully, im not trying to be anything or anyone at all, so i think its just the furtherest degree of inaccuracy to say that im being wannabe-ish because, i simply dont wanna be anything. duh. and although someone has also told me to "please revert back to the", huh.. the what??? i dont think theres anything to revert back to coz im still the same.

how do i know im still the same? my views on my past and my previous school, my duties my responsiblities, my aims my goals, my relationships my friends. comparing all of those in the past, and everything now, i still see them as equally important, and have identical views of them. reflecting on myself im still as determined as before, still as task oriented as before and still as stubborn as before, so what is it that i have changed in? dont get me wrong, if there is something you'd like to tell me, please do. but im really sorry to say i find it disgusting to link my attitude to my school. so you'd better get your facts right.

i actually can imagine someone saying that tag out to me, i'd just laugh if it really is that same person.

2009-03-06T21:50:00.003+08:00

okay its been quite a busy week. still busy now in fact.. jc life is quite swift paced. a little about today. wow had our 1st mass PE. it was really good i think! gonna enjoy having more of these kinda trainings:D ohh yesss... today was A lvl results day! and i proudly congratulate my brother on getting everything straight As. its too imba already and im like so happy for him. now that hes set the standards, i shall too aim for that!

went out with my OG today again! pretty fun just having their company. i must really confess that i LOVE LOVE LOVEE MY OG TO BITS. even though we're all in different classes now we still meet up really regularly to hang out. im really hope we will continue to be this close foreverr!

i think our OG is really kinda impressive coz we got like 3 class reps in it! percy iyan and i! its so cool lah! i only wish that everyone of us could have more lectures together and similar break periods. if onlyyy... hahaha

on the other hand, my class has been really great too! got lots and lots of smart ppl in SC3. hope to see us progress and become a really united class!!

2009-02-22T00:29:00.002+08:00

hello world! life has been really fun and great in acjc with my lovely irreplaceable OG DRACO!! however friday was the last day that we could hang out in school all together as 1 OG.. kinda depressing thought and im really feeling quite down about it COZ I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! how i wish so much that we could all get into the same class together and all.. haizz... its too bad lah. 2 things that we MUST do okay! firstly! take a complete og photo! like EVERYONE IN IT! and secondly! find that really slack club cca we've been looking for and finally join it! all of us! so we will be able to chill out together and fellowship together! the other day i really felt like writing really long essays for each of yall but now i dont really got the mood:( maybe some other time!! LOVE YALL MY OG!!!

2009-02-16T23:44:00.002+08:00

sometimes i am really led to realise how selfish, proud and self-righteous she is. she freaking thinks shes faultless and doesnt admit to her mistakes. what a freak bitch

2009-02-12T23:29:00.002+08:00

been kinda busy lately! today was the 1st day of lessons! there was this kinda sian atmosphere everywhere i guess but it was quite okay! my og has been a really wonderful one. i really really love my og now. everyone's so nice and fun to talk to! through my og i've gotten addicted to the game taptap in the iphone and itouch. its really addictive and we play it ALL-THE-TIME:D

its really sad whenever i think about the little remaining time left we have together as an og. soon we'll all be separated into our different classes and stuff. guess we'll have to hang out less too. come to think of it the time we had together as an og is really short. just wish we had more time together. but hey its not that we cant hang out or go out as an og even after we're in different classes! still can lah! its just that... people tend to lose connection and the closeness that we currently have. arghhh its really sad to think aboutt!!!

today there was also this emo syndrome! like many of us were just sitting around staring into blank space and stuff. what gives man!

in the afternoon percy, jeanette, che'rie and i went down for frisbee! i found it really realllyy fun! its a really good form of exercise too! the only problem - now that im in badminton, training is 1 3 5 6, if i were to join frisbee..2 4. everyday cca.. thats a bit no life... but haizz! i really like frisbee!:(

went home today only to get more scolding from you know who lah. im seriously getting really irritated by her disability to be more thoughtful and understanding. so glad she went out of the house coz i finally have peace.

hmm, tmr will be another long day.. im not so sure if im going for badminton training coz like, im feeling kinda sick and my thumb is just screwed. at night theres this movie under the stars thing in school, sounds pretty cool! we'll, gotta get to sleep now before you know who comes back and starts nagging and scolding again! see ya

2009-02-04T21:35:00.002+08:00

today's theme was starch. i got starched like everywhere on my body lah. oh yeahh also played ultimate frisbee today with starch on it so it was quite slippery and i couldnt throw it properly. still we managed to beat the other team 3-0:D

today was another fun day which i dont think i'll be able to post in detail about it coz its kinda late and i gotta be getting to sleep soon! anyway, i got to talk the ppl in my og more and i've made a number of new friends. really happy about that yeahhXD

tmr will be orientation outing. we're going to kallang to iceskate or bowl or eat sakae sushi or sth. really looking forward to it! hope we're gonna have lots of fun tmr!!!!

2009-02-03T22:49:00.004+08:00

FINALLY GOT BACK MY RESULTS FROM THE LAST BUSINESS MODULE!:DDDD

market entry strategies in a globalised world - distinction!:DD omg super happy!! weeheee that ends my official 3 year 7 moduled diploma in enterprise course! finally.. my 1st major qualification!

today's orientation was really fun and dirty! lots of mud too! my clan and og in acjc is mushu and draco respectively. its colour is red. i realised i've been in the red house all my life. red in nan hua, flame red of michael in sji, now red for this too! kinda cool. hehe for your info my crumpler is red too, so is my pencilbox! i swear its just coincidence. red isnt even my favorite colour or anything really!

i really really think im gonna like it in acjc coz im loving every bit of it so far. the cheers, the games and also i enjoy talking to people! my quiet orientation group is talking more today!:D this is gonna be real fun! in a few days we're gonna have our orientation group outing! still havent confirmed where we are going but one idea was lido! so we could go there get dinner, go to bibi and baba to buy uniforms as well, AND maybe watch a movie too? we'll see!

one really cool thing i found out today. i've got this ogl who's name is jeremy. he was from sji and knows a lot of ppl i know. asked him today if he knew my brother, when he heard "martin ang" he told me thats the name of his sister's good friend's brother. in other words, his sister is my sister's good friend. he told me sth about gb and all so i knew it was my sister. yeah my sis was in gb what! in case you didnt know...

so anyway i told my sis and she immediately knew. hes eliza's brother. HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT! heheh....

on the side note, im having problems memorizing the mass dance and memorizing the steps for the couple's dance! both songs are really fast and all! i need to sleep soon coz waking up tmr at 6! tah tah yalll!!

A New Beginning

2009-02-02T21:44:00.002+08:00

i really love me new school! haha. today was the first day and i felt that it was really quite fun! although tiring.. but yeah fun!!!

met nat in the morning! hes gonna be joining us for the entire ac orientation! cool eh!:D so after that i went on to the hall and had a really really long assembly. it was really a new and refreshing atmosphere. finally we have morning assembly in the hall once again like in nan hua primary! its so much better than having it on the dirty wet track which i had to for 4 years.. hehe. another new thing was the national anthem and school song were done a cappella by the school choir! it was rather cool watching them.

new school colours too! blue red and gold, unlike sji's green and white. new motto: the best is yet to be! old: ora et labora. someone please tell me its completely different! one of the best things! finally prayers without the long amen-in the name of etc etc and amen againn. naoo.... this time, just amen, like how we do. theres chapel every monday morning with worship session with really familiar christian songs!! worship leading in school huh... cool.. we'll see;)

one thing however... there were many more sji guys then i expected...~~rarrzzz~~ nvm its okay, not many of them will take bcme...i think... HAHA.

so we had a really long assembly going through all the introduction and stuff. we also went through the school rules. there was this particular rule which was cause for laughter. "let the light pass through between you and your friend" WTH HAHAHAHA. but yeahh, a rule is a rule! nothing so difficult about following it! except when you wanna tau pok:P

food? i love the chicken rice:D still slowly trying out all the food stalls. heh.

my orientation group: its kinda fun really! though they are really quiet. hope i can get to socialise with them better tmr! im already the loudest in the group and stuff HAHA! this yearr, i have decided to take it friendly and sociable in jc. try my best to make as many friends as i can. forget about the old coz the new has come and the new is better!:D

2009-01-30T13:34:00.002+08:00

alrighttt!!:D i got into acjc science! quite happy about it and really thank God! so now i gotta go get the uniforms and shoes... hhaha. pretty busy now! i also gotta get songs and stuff for this week's worship! HAHA. woops!:D see yall

2009-01-16T12:19:00.003+08:00

just handed in my 12 choices.... quite scary lah when i clicked on the "confirm" button coz come to think of it, that one click will determine your fate for the next 2 years... gee whizzz... well! my 1st choice was acjc science and the 2nd was cjc science, beyond that isnt that important anymore i guess... haha. its kinda funny.. once again it seems... acs and sji. LOL

2009-01-12T23:34:00.005+08:00

well.. today was quite interesting. all along i really thought.. no wait, all along everyone thought, believed, and knew that the 2008 batch of sji was a lazy batch. and it was the most cmi batch in many years. our prelims were really quite screwed up and got band 3 for it. actually, even our HOL didnt think that we could do better than last years batch, the best batch in sji's history that pushed sji into becoming a band 1 school for the very first time. so.. i was really really shocked when they actually said that this year, for our batch.. we actually did better than last year! which means.. we're the best sji batch in history??!?!

mann thats kinda weird.. hilarious! stupid but amazing. really cool. we beat last years batch and got a band 1 with 10.4 average L1R5. also an msg of 2.1, meaning on an average every student got an a2 for each subject? LOL oh yeahh.. this also means quite significantly to the future of sji i guess! coz now its been a ban 1 school 2 years in a row and i heard sth like if it gets 3 years in a row then sji will be allowed to offer full ib to the students.. meaning it becomes like acsi and dont need to take O lvls or sth. at least thats what i heard lah! so next years batch! jia you!

okay on my way to school today, i was really anxious lah obvious. but i was only thinking of 2 things, my english and ss results. thats coz language is my weakness as yall know.. in my mind i had already disintegrated all hope of using my full history at all. coz well.. i sorta... didnt complete the paper.. like, didnt do 1 whole essay, meaning my entire paper would be marked with a maximum of 80% only.. so yeah i screwed that one. and ss too actually, wanna know why? i didnt complete the SS essay either! muhauhaa. so i was feeling really screwed lah. worried.

to make matters worse i was late for school? thats coz i missed both my buses. champion right! im a very prone victim of the murphie's law it would seem.. but there was a very strange nostalgic feeling lah. i suddenly remembered last time when i was primary 6. when i went back to collect my posting, i was also late. so by the time i rushed into my classroom 6B, everyone had already known my posting before me! quite embarrassing actually. then they were all like marcus you going sji. HAHAHA. so stupid. then i rmb charles thesera going to me and saying sth like, "oh mann marcus!!! just 2 more marks then you could've gone to acsi" or sth to that extent lah. lol that was 4 years ago... pretty strange how i can rmb such things so clearly it seemed like it just happened. well 1 very clear difference i know for sure is that for psle i was able to get top in class, now... hehe.. obviously a different story coz we got imba scholars like luu and all. still i think i managed to get myself in top like what... 80 in the lvl? LOL so stupid...

well when i got there i wasnt so scared anymore coz ms lee leaked out a bit of crucial information to me. :P 1st she told me that this year full history was a 90% distinction rate, and our entire class got a1 for it. then i was like AHEM excuse me??? i got a1 for full history? dont joke man, i eliminated that possiblity from my tiny peanut brain like centuries ago or sth. but anyway, she wouldnt lie about such a thing so that was a great relief for me! another thing that she told me was that i did better than my brother? then i was happy already. haha. not because i did better than my brother lah-_- its coz then i knew my score was in the safe zone.

well, bottomline, thank you so much God for being so gracious to me! well.. but one thing thats got me in the dumps is the results of many of my friends:/ quite a number of them didnt do as well as they wanted to and like... it made me quite sad:( its really painful to see them so disappointed and sad and all while i cant do anything but nothing.. wish i could do sth to help.. sigh.. well... my computer is kinda screwing up now, like, it cant open any microsoft files! it nearly crashed just now i swearrr... so scary lahh, the JAE application form is an online thing so if this computer dies, so will i!:(

2009-01-12T10:14:00.002+08:00

today's the day. after all this time its finally come. its in about 2 hours or more in which i'll be headed back to sji... dont know lah, i dont feel scared anymore, but i dont fell excited either, its like a "whatever lor" kinda thing??? yeahh...

all along throughout the holidays i've kept all my O lvl question papers and i dont know why. oh well, its time to throw them away i guess! well.. i'll never know what the later half of the day will be like. i hear we gotta listen to the new principal talk or sth. quite retarded coz we were never even under him and we dont know him one bit.. and vice versa. so yeahh, today's gonna be strange.

well... im not supposed to be using the computer now coz according to mummy, i gotta gotta sweep the whole house every morning before i can use the computer.zzzz-_-

alright. so see yall around sometime... i hope! theres no telling what i may do when i get back my resultsss..

JUNKO: hey thanks:D all the best to you too! its just like old times huh! this gonna be somewhat like the psle results day 4 years ago. hehe

2009-01-03T12:46:00.003+08:00

okay this video is just too spastic and spasmic that i have to post ittt!!! its a video of sandra shaunald and i sneezing at the new year's eve stayover at sandra's house! :D

hmm oh yeahh! people say that the O level results are coming out soon... i've been thinking and like, i dont think i really mind going to cjc after all actually. sure i would like to go into ac lah, but well.. God, you be the one to guide me!

2009-01-02T14:10:00.005+08:00

okayy... i dont know why but i just felt like posting about this very weird dream i had the other day in genting! i dreamt that i got back my O lvl result slip! the results were really bad.. like b4 for both maths, b3 for english, and i cant rmb the rest but strangely the L1R5 said 8 points! then i was like huh.. and did the maths but it didnt telly? then jiansheng's funny alarm tone woke me up! what a retarded thing to dream abouttt..... heh

2008-12-17T19:58:00.003+08:00

hello!! genting was rather fun. we went to this hotel called first world hotel. it was kinda cool like, the hotel was like a self sufficient commune lidat lah. like a merger with a shopping mall and stuff. there were outlets like macs, kfc, bk, starbucks(X2), coffee bean, pizza hut etc etc you name it. also had a cinema, pool, bowling, arcade and an over priced internet cafe. oh yeahh, there was also a theme park in the hotel???!?! like... roller coaster coaster rides and stuff. and of course, the usually shopping mall shops. addidas, nike, hang ten etc?? anyway, it was really fun there. lots of mist and fog and the whether was really nice and cool. managed to watch bolt at the cinema with js for like just 5 bucks yo!

went to far east to meet up with mark to go cut hair. in the end mark decided not to cut his hair and i dont really think the lady cut my hair to my moneys worth? she only trimmed a bit here and there and its quite the same as before i cut it actually... just a little neater? haizz... but i hope it grows out to be in shape! then i can go cut my japanese hairstyle when its long enough! niaahahaharrr.

this week has been really exhausting. to make matters worst i already screwed up some papers. haizz..feeling really depressed noww............... the only thing i can do now is to make sure i get the remaining papers as solid insurances

Chem- good
English- so-so(meaning bad)
Full history-screw
Amaths1- good
Geog- better than expected
Emaths1-good
Amaths2-dont talk about it

so thats all for my messed up week one! see ya

2008-10-16T16:42:00.004+08:00

waaa today was a serious waste of time. woke up at 12.30 and restudied my geog and did 3 english compres and huhh?? its 4.30 alreadyy. crap lahh. so the O levels are in 4 days time huh... bring it on mann.

actually im really nervous about it all but. these few months, the message has successfully gotten into my head. im not in this alone. God is with me all the way. he brought me through these 4 years and he will bring me through this little hump on the tar road. even so, i still get worked up as the day approaches but i keep telling myself, God is bigger than this. God has a plan for me. and He will be with me as i sit in the exam hall for my chem paper 2 on the 20th oct, all the way till the 16th of nov when i sit for my bio paper 1.

so yeahh the 1st solution is God. then comes the mugging.(so that doesnt mean we can slack now can we) still... many people keep saying im pushing myself too hard. well, im telling you, this is my pace and im comfortable with it! so yeahh otot! everyone's different!:D though... i do acknowledge that although my mental is okay with it, my physical aint as okay as evident from slightly longer persisting cough(which has gone away already thank God), more aggressive outbreaks, and depleting of eyesight:/(which more frequent eye exercises should settle... i hopeee...) so yeahh, i do take more breaks nowadays. but somehow whenever i do some always......... forget it. its a misunderstandings so i shouldnt get upset!:D

alright! eye exercise time!! too much computer is bad too ya know!XD

Sandra: yoyoyo!!yeahh do hope they're useful! VJ!!!:D ehheh.. and of course im informative!>:)

Muk: haha ohh right... okay then! i will definitely score 6 points or more!:D

Wei jun: hohoho huh? its not even christmas yett!! oh mann! all the best for Os! are you melbourning next yearr??:/

A STRONG: ehh? are you luhan?!?!! should be right! i love my best friendss too!

Shaunald: haha yeaap thanks, im okay now:D haha. fun having your post exams nottt!!!>:(

Max: and i thirdd? haha yay 3 musketeers... nvm-_-. when are you gonna show up again on saturdayss!

2008-10-02T18:48:00.003+08:00

last day of school todayy!! the start of the day was really weird. i suddenly saw a lady who i later recognised to be the mother of the very first friend i had in primary school. oh the irony, last day of secondary school, and i started to remember the first day of primary school. oh the good old days.

oh man, today was the last time im ever gonna wake up at 5.35 everyday to take 66 to school. oh goodbye goodbye! lots of photo's taken today and i received some weird card. it says im a member of the sjioba. heh whateverr. thoughh.... i wonder if it can be used as a credit card?: O ah the class tee was finally out and like, oh man! josias so poor thing!! how can the supplier ignore the error! damnn.

haha black and pink huh.. practically every class tee in sji was black-_- at least its better than always green and white patriotic sji colours i guess. well... i guess i will miss you guys. can clearly say that its been the best year i've had in sji in these 4 years. i thank God for blessing me with my favorite teacher as my form tutor. still rmb at the beginning of sec 4 when he assumed the position of 434 class tutor with lee siew lian. was so freaking happy lah (bio lovess!:D)

thank you Mr Lim for being such a irreplaceable teacher. all the 3 years you've been teaching me i've never had a moment of boredom. and i believe its really coz of you that i started to take bio as my favorite subject since sec 1. so thanks.

thank you too Ms lee! you've been the most fun history teacher i've ever had. know at first you had really little faith in me coz i scored an f9 in the midyears but HA! proved you wrong now didnt i! :P really hope to continue scoring As for my Os though! dont wanna let your expectations down! 100% distinctions from us right! thats what you and ms mara quite saying. gambate neh!

nothing much happened today i guess. we had our ceremony thing in the hall and then the traditional bell was rung and off we went yayy. went to lido for a movie with a few of the classmates and after that returned home. mugging bio now while listening to songs by fireaway samson and by2. all 16 year olds!!: DD okayy random yeahhh. alright with that i shall say,

BYEBYE SJI! (lets hope we can maintain the band 1 standards this year!)

Max: still will lah. like that how to maintain! besides! dont think those burn away much fats!

2008-09-30T21:36:00.002+08:00

just came back from the speech and graduation day. waha, dad and mum seemed way more excited than me although they've already been through the whole thing like twice. i however, am really more excited about monday. prelims are out. at last at last at lastttt! seriously lah, sji has been really really slow at marking them. we were one of the 1st to have our prelims and look now! think we're just about the last school to get it back.

bother, think my single digit is gone. still hoping for the best though! but the result isnt really what counts. its you-know-what that does.. its in a month. prepared? i dont know. and no, prepared =\= studied though 5 times. prepared means i know i'll get my A. but i know, therefore i dont know if im prepared.

im really surprised that they actually did correct my CCA records to give me that 1 more point, boosting me from 24 to 25 points, a2 to a1, lucky me:D

alright then, little bit about the graduation ceremony today. went there by bus like a usual school day just that it was in the afternoon. and it was like freakinggg hot lah. was sweating like some dog by the time i walked to the bus stop. saw yogesh at the bus stop but was too lazy to say hi :X(woops!) then there was this other guy who tapped me on the shoulder. he was some other sec 4 guy who i dont really know actually. just take the same bus 66 with him every morning. hes reallyyyy.... arty. like those highly opiniated and knowledgable people. probably a debater i'd say. dont know if im growing anti social or anything but i seem to dread talking to people on the bus! so i tend to avoid conversation and just replied "yeeah" as 80% of my answers.

wow its been long since i ever had time to post this long. its probably coz i dont have the mood to do my tys now. i've missed by dear badminton for the 2nd or 3rd week in a row now. i feel terribly unhealthy and unfit. apart from the random urges to do 2 sets of push ups from time to time, i fear thats probably about all the exercise i get. im trying to promise myself that after the Os im gonna exercise regularly again! and no please, not with the ab theory, though its 35% the reason, the other 65% is simply coz i feel i have to. you know, psychological stuff and all.

didnt eat lunch today, though i told my parents i did:P... dont want them to worry hehee. and no, im no where near anorexic. just didnt feel hungry!

realised shaunald and max shud be having their dinner around now. perhaps Lot1? i dont know. wish i could join them but nope. im at home... going to ah ma's house later to play and sing more songs to ah ma. hope your getting better! im getting really worried. now we're all trying to spread the gospel to her. she needs to know the truth ~~before~~ in case sth happens to her:(

oh yes, yesterday we had a wedding dinner at i-dont-know-where but it was reallly nice! we had it in a ballroom and the lights kept changing colour! really enjoy these gatherings with my mum's side of the family coz we only meet up very seldom. sat with jonathan and eunice for dinner. the food was awesome and the wine was good. hey dont try and tell me you never drink b4 when you were below 18 please. yadayadayada:)) anyway wine is healthy. keeps that heart attack far away.

why am i still continuing to post despite the fact that i think i shud be doing my tys? well... coz it doesnt feel like a normal saturday i guess! so im not doing the normal saturday stuff! some champion's logic huhh

surprised im not all emo and sentimental about today's graduation day? well if you really know me, you'd know i'd think nothing much about it. okay wait, before you judge me and say orh marcus not filial. hear me 1st kay! theres nothing really big about today because with or without it, it doesnt change anything. however i guess there is a symbolic meaning and reason for this. wanna hear?? its so that we all sit for the gce O lvls as who we are and not a student of the school. meaning, 1 month from now, im gonna sit down for my chem paper 2 and say, im sitting for this paper as ang kai marcus, not as sji-boy.

hmm, why is everyone so weird ah.. like whenever i ask them about how they did for prelims, none of them tell me. okay maybe not none, but like 90% of them? oh c'mon dudes, even if you did badly for it, theres nothing to hide really! people wont look down on you because you did bad for prelims i assure you! coz ~~no one~~ most people dont takes it seriously! yeah i know, im not part of the most people. heh but still! waarrhhhh

oh man, i would write more but its time to go to ah ma's house! till next time! byebye world!

2008-09-19T15:28:00.002+08:00

tys tys tys tys tys. realise my posts are getting shorter. its probably due to time constrains so i cant really post a long nice one like i used to in the earlier year. oh well. whats up lately? tmr's the graduation day for sji. oh yipee.. dancing in my socks. its so exciting to go up and get a cert and go home right? oh wellsss..

ziying: HAHA! long awaited?? you mean like a few seconds? HAHA. kiddingg all the best for Os!!

2008-09-05T00:21:00.000+08:00

im scared. of a few things muddled up together! oh boyy....: (

2008-09-01T01:43:00.002+08:00

my 10 years worth of computer data has been erased due to someone's mistake in which he deleted my backup data and reformatted the computer. was really horrified and had this really emo rage. he also felt really guilty too. haizz... what to do, whats done is done. i've forgiven him already but the pain still stings quite badly. thats it for all my pictures, songs, videos, games, documents, logs, informations, schedules you name it. whatever, my entire digital life has been erased. kinda sad isnt it. waha.

waht to do what to do... slowly get back everything i guess. so whatever files you think might seem nice. send me pleaseee!:/

2008-08-24T20:10:00.002+08:00

okay. havent really had a dinner-at-home sunday for a very long time. turns out that today all the 149 were busy. leaving only shaunald and i and in the end, we decided to go home anyway. quite bored now. actually im supposed to be studying for my bio paper 1 tomorrow but unfortunately, i've automatically swung to party mode because after tomorrow, its gonna be over. well... not really, but people are telling me to take a break from prelims to prevent getting burn out.

tomorrow after school we're having a class outing to alex's house. hope its fun... it sure is expensive:/

i've been feeling rather weird lately. can get really emo and start tearing and stuff. HAHA. for no apparent reason! psycho right...

the past week has been quite relaxed. slept early everyday for the exams so on friday night i was uber hyper. didnt even feel tired after badminton on saturday. sths up with my body man. its acting weird! haha.

Max: well no its not that bad now, but i think its still screwed up though!

DEVIN: hey dude! wassup

2008-08-14T17:02:00.003+08:00

first bad day of the prelims. not that the papers were hard or anything but i kinda blew the a1. there goes 6 points. but thats okay. as if i was planning to get it in the first place? oh wait its not over yet, theres paper 2s and all. okay gambate.. ne! really got high hopes for this prelims... oh well, just see how it goes lor.

omg today is just soo screwed up! thought i'd get a hair cut since english orals are coming up soon but aww mann! this is really bad:( lucky my hair grows fast! it'll be back to normal before i even notice it, or so i hope:/

english O lvl oral is next week thursday for me. yeah its in the midst of the stupid prelims. dont care lah, this supposed to take the priority i suppose.

so this whole week has been studystudystudy. despite this fact, im still really unsure about how im gonna pull off this with a single digit. yeahh ambitious hehh, but if you dont set high goals then you cant really score well can you. i mean if you aim for a 50 you just might get a 40 if you're not careful and aiming for a 60 might get you 50 and it goes on! a 70 for 60 and 80 for a 70 etc. so yeah, if you wanna get a 100 you gotta do 110. no wonder no one ever gets it.(apart from jireh, but that was term 1!)

yeahh tmr's emaths and chem paper 1 so im slacking like mad today. still.. think i shud be starting my second round revision for the subjects next week already! got not much time to do so during the weekend since... nvm. i shall keep my mind focused and just get all a1(heyeah right-_-) arghh cant wait for all this to be over!

2008-08-10T22:04:00.009+08:00

hey all. prelims on tuesday. this weekend i took a daring break from all that studying and decided to just really play hard. at least once more till all that horrific stuff comes. went to sentosa yesterday. i think the outing was quite okay. could have been better i think but i did enjoy myself coming to the end of the outing? except a few hicups here and there i guesss.

well the start of the day was kinda boring coz i actually arrived at harbour front early!(can you believe!?) but yeah, max and i were waiting over there for about an hour before everyone else arrived. the others were like quite late but whatever yeah.. we went to vivo giant to buy food supplies and wasted like another hour or so. the queues were extremely long and after that we also had to queue up for that ticket to sentosa so by the time we reached it was afternoon already.

to our surprise, the brilliant location which we had settled down on the last sentosa outing was suddenly underconstruction along with the other half of palawan beach so we went to some other part where there were like crowds of people:( not as good a location as the previous time but yeah i guess it turned out pretty alright!

cool ehh!

this was quite random but anywayXD

after church today we went to eat dinner at tiong bahru market with felice and eunice's family and the reminisce of 149. we played some really stupid and funny game. its the sentence game, it goes in a circle and everyone has to say 3 words and like make up some story! so heres what came out:

there was once a man standing on the table eating his dinner.

he was weird. he had a long curly moustache.

he took the cup and said this is awful.

he poured it on his moustache and it dissolved.

he then started to pick his dog's nose hair.

the bible says thou shall not pick his nose.

he disobeyed God and led a life of hairyness.

back at home, he sat down and started to pick his nose.

he took bread and gave thanks.

alright i know this was like really really random/stupid/nonsensical/ but it was just super hilarious lah!

went to see ah ma at the hospital one last time before she gets discharged shee seemed pretty much recovered and ready to leave that place already:) felice and family came over to visit ah ma too and like prayed for ah ma! that was really nice, thanks a lot! well thats it for today i guess! hehh

2008-08-02T09:41:00.004+08:00

its a saturday morning. not going badminton today coz theres fop later. also, i gotta revise my history 2138:( its the most dreaded subject ever i swearrrr! its 1 week more to the prelims and i suddenly feel like not studying anymoree, quite dangerous, but yeahh humans need their break time what! so thats why im going fop later!:D

oh well, i'd better be off now to do more constructive stuff!!! see ya!

just another boredom clip[okay, i dont know why theres 2! i cant get rid of the extra one!]

Carmen: eh yoo! wassup dudee!:D

Celeste: hello! have you recovered yet? i know im falling sick!! : (

Max: umm noo! ah boyaa, in 2 years time i'd still be in the middle of j2!

The Merovingian: hello there! ya know, you some awefully like that cool buddhist yogi that came to our school during RME! are yall friends!? :O

2008-07-25T19:29:00.004+08:00

really tired now. this whole week has been quite exhausting. 've been studying everyday and i've been sleeping reeeeally late. from sunday till last night, these are the timings. 2am, 2am 1am 2am, 12.30am.

wake up at 5.30 everyday so like yeah. compensations for sleep time take place in places like the bus, the classroom, the toilet and the floor. oh and of course, on my comfortable nice bed while attempting to do some afternoon study. once fallen asleep mann thats it. only wake up in the evenings. at 1st it was just around 7.30pm, and then it got later as the week progressed. new record - 10.30pm my original sleeping time(really lor! just that i dont keep to it!:P) so then my body clock gets really screwed and got no choice but to study at night! and the vicious cycle continues....

it was weird ytd, seeing so many bald people all around the school. for all those who dont know, its called the hair for hope programme. its some programme whereby you pay 10 bucks for them to shave you bald. its a symbol of support for the cancer patients. its the only time that sji actually allows people to BE bald in the school premises.

actually i really admire the great courage that all these students and teachers have. its not really an easy decision to make i guess. especially for girls. yeahh, ms theresa lim is bald... again. ms daisy chia is also bald now although i didnt get to see the shiny scalp coz she's covered it with some scarf today. brother michael, brother jason, mr bernard teo and mr gazhali are all bald now too! as for the students well. its quite an impressive number really. so now in school everywhere i turn to theres a bald guy.

pretty cool actually, and their head is really nice to touch, hehe. a number of people from my class shaved too! well done wedgi, really admire your guts! heh. omg i swear that shreyas looks like ghandi now that hes bald lah! just take out that indian rupee and compare the faces! its quite a change to see people like ruizhi, yiqing etc without hair too.

yesterday the whole mass of people were invited to stand in front of the assembly in the morning before they became hairless. today, these guys were reinvited to come to the front to stand. same people, same faces, but woahhhoho i tell you damn shiny lehh. wanted to take a picture. looked like a temple of monks or sth. or perhaps a secret society of gang members. could almost picture all of them taking off their shirt with some dragon tatoo on their back. okayyy, i shud stop being so bad luh, afterall, im to chicken to do that! so yah i still remain, up till today, hairful i guess... moreorless lahh.

alright today and tmr are the kindred spirits performance days. seemingly it is supposed to be quite fun coz like many of the sec 4s are involved in it. the kindred spirits performance is sth sji has every year or sth. this year we have also combined with CJC and CHIJ for the performance. i heard christopher from 432 is performing on the piano? pretty cool. and that pro singer jerome guy from lower sec is singing solo again. and andd ohh the mini bar thats gonna be set up!! i want my singapore slingggggg:(

actually i kinda decided quite a long time ago that im not going but like the more i hear about it the nicer it seems to be getting. oh wells, no point feeling sorry now, i dont even have tickets. still, about the drinks.....hmhmm:P

2008-07-19T00:21:00.002+08:00

BOB at acsi. dont worry guys, know you tried. you peeps were great, but yeah you would've expected this right. afterall, its acsi band in acsi. so yeahh. not to mention the majority of the crowd. but yah lah, im not complaining since i knew it would be:D

haha, okay i think coeway hasnt really changed much. still as hyper as ever. hmm, was quite impressed with the sji band too. azriels drums were damn good and zhou & freddie were cool. had problems deciding who to vote for actually. heh

2008-07-17T23:18:00.002+08:00

no more science practicals for the rest of the year! thats it for all the tiny components of the Os. all thats left is the english oral and then its pure written work. jia you jia you c'mon!

2008-07-15T23:25:00.002+08:00

byebye chinese!
i wont miss you. seriously! tmr's chem spa, dont know if im well prepared enough not, oh wells. dont know why they kill us like that. immediately after that theres a maths test and on the last period a history test. sheesh.

2008-07-07T12:27:00.004+08:00

finally got it. the YE video. credits to paul ho:D

i just love this video. im very grateful that God has given me such awesome friends.

a little about today. okay, school today was more of a sleeping session. slpt at 4 plus on sunday night for the federer against nadal tennis match and then 1 plus yesterday night to send amanda off to australia.

i didnt really cry or anything yesterday, but that doesnt mean im heartless!! im really quite sad amanda had to leave and like... ohh I'll Miss You Amanda!!= (

dont really feel like updating about the long and busy weekend i had coz im really tired now. once again im feeling quite emo noww.

hate goodbyes although i know they are inevitable.. sooner or later people leave, for studies or whatsoever. its really hard to say goodbye when you know that you wont be seeing them in a very long time. but i know one thing. God will never say goodbye to us. hes always there for us and we can always rely and trust in him.

ohh gosh, this reminds me of primary school days when aunty edna and i used to share a common moto: "In Jesus i Trust." wrote it everywhere, behind my ruler and on my notebooks and stuff! heh, im so recollect-ive!(no actual such word) remembering such random stuff! woopss.

2008-07-04T19:36:00.002+08:00

okayy. acjc trials today were quite fun. and i made a lot of friends too from various schools like commonwealth, fairfield, acsi, anglican and others! they were all kinda nice and i talked to them quite a lot. hehh

okay, i reached acjc half an hour early. we helped out in keeping the tables and chairs from the badminton hall and set up the nets and all that. then came the real thing. the guy asked me what i played, actually i play both singles and doubles but i told him doubles. what the heck.

played about 3 matches. lost the 1st one, and won the other 2. quite fun i guess. then at the end of the 3rd match... "your name is marcus right?" "yeapp!" "hmm... sji?" "yeap!" and that was that. what on earth does that mean?? HAHA. man im so nervous lah, dont know when the results will be out. also, the scary thing is that i dont know if they will even contact me if i dont get in! leaving me to wait foreverr... nahh it couldnt be that badd. i leave the results to God.. and now... its prelims time:/ chiongggggggg!

2008-06-27T18:13:00.003+08:00

yeah friday! got a busy weekend but i hope its refreshing! today on the way home when i got off the bus i was shocked to see luhan there. so i asked him what on earth he was doing here. repairing specs. haha. apparently he told me he took 2 buses to b.t batok interchange and walked to the bus stop we were at. when i told him i just took 1 bus 66 to get there, he wanted to bash me up:P

anyway, 1st we walked to the market side to find his specs shop. then he got a bit distracted and wanted to head over to the nearby mcdonalds. so we went there, and he just stood there deciding what to buy. then he suddenly decided he wanted bubble tea, so we left and went to another nearby shop to get it. after that i followed him to repair his specs since i had nothing else to do. after getting his specs repaired, i went to eat my lunch at the coffee shop. luhan didnt have money with him so he just did his homework while i ate!

after eating lunch, he suddenly decided he wanted to go to my house. at first i was kinda like "huh you must be joking..." but he was seriousssss

so yeah he came over to my house. its kinda stupid like, this is the first time one of my sji school friends ever came over to my house, and it wasnt even my invitation, like, impromtu thing! haha i told mum that i didnt plan it, that it was luhan idea and she said, "very good!" whutttt.... hah

luhan went inside my room where he took out my new walkman bag. havent really used it yet, it came free with my w890i. he asked if the speaker looking thing on the bag was real. i said i doubt it. but it turns out when he opened the bag that it WAS REALL! what the heckk??

so i put in new batteries and attached the wire to my phone and the music started to come out from the bag! amazingg... i nvr knew.. looks like the bag was cooler than i thought!

luhan also went to read my 6 diploma in enterprise module files. he kept saying that he should have taken the course and how come they didnt choose him yadayada. actually, luhan does seem like the businessman type and can clearly see him in business attire right now too!XD

the way he kept saying it maked it sound like i was like super lucky to get into the course. actually, ironically 2 years ago when i was selected, i remember myself trying my best not to get selected by the teachers! during dilemma test i was simply doing as i was told, and during the pattern innovation test i also made a mistake. even in the interview i told them that i would drop the course if i couldnt cope with all my subject in sec 4. the whole idea was my dad's and i hadnt the least bit interest in the beginning. yet miraculously now here i am with 1 more module to completion of the course and getting my diploma. its just weird.

however, i doubt its gonna be of much use. although it allows me to get a place in a number of universities in australia which i can go to either next year or after jc, my parents told me that they didnt really plan on sending me there coz its too expensive. i wonder...

aussie aussie aussie.. why does everyone seem to be going there. jeannette, kimberly, amanda. why does all of singapore wanna migrate to australia? is it a heavenly place? im quite curious to know. wonder if life is like really good over there. in that case maybe we shud all go there!:DD kidding...

ah so anyway luhan found my moving rubber which i had only used it 3 times before, each time only an amount as small as a radius of a 5 cent coin - to neaten up my screwed up fringe during the holidays that is. and luhan ended up using it for his entire head, i did make sure that he didnt use that much though! haha.

soon luhan left. sent him downstairs and his mum went to pick him up. haha.

havent blogged much during the holidays, thats because my internet was kinda screwed the whole time, lucky we got a new modem ytd! now our internet is back with a vengencee! nah who'm i tryina kid. its the 3rd term and im gonna be way busy. its time to pick up the pace although i really dont want to :(

1st day of school was tiring! slpt during bio lesson unintentionally! sorry mr Lim! not that your bio lesson is boring, your voice too soothing already so i slept!:P new topics today for both chem and bio. mr tung gave us another maths test paper to do and told us tmr theres a emaths test. oh the joy is killing me, seriously. mrs lee went through some compre for english lesson, generally the whole day was really dry, mentally and physically. refilled my bottle like 4 times in all today too.

after school i went to toa payoh to eat lunch and then to clementi to meet lilin to get back my 2gb pro duo. thank you so sooo much lilin and friend! i was seriously so sad when i thought i lost it! thankyouthankyouthankyouuu!:DD

at home was really sian, just studying bio, chem, chinese... chinese... ... something really depressing i learnt from the dear chinese rep today, i am to be the lucky guy who joins the previous class to do my chinese oral next week wednesday, and the rest of the class the next day. oh i forgot to mention, the previous class so happens to be the language tdp class:/ dont know what to say about that man... sure i'd be the last guy to do the thing on that day, but dont think i'd be very comfortable thoughh:/

yes, i did get a new phone. none other than that super tiny walkman phone sony ericsson w890i. its so weird like it doesnt have any flash? cant take pictures in the dark one:/ i actually wanted another one but yeahh, must "stick to the budget" coz "students arent supposed to have expensive phones". she says "people will steal it" and stuff like that. well yeahh i guess so. just gotta wait till my plan ends next year jan and attempt to get it again. but hey who knows, i might get used to this one coz it aint half bad either, but a deal's a deal yeah? as long as she doesnt need to pay a cent, she shudnt mind:P

im really missing the holidays right now. i think it was quite holiday quite worth while actually. i had quite a lot of fun and a good break from work. now it all starts again. oh wellsss

2008-06-17T23:25:00.002+08:00

went out to orchard for lunch today. after that went to vivo and watched 2 movies, drained my entire wallet. kung fu panda was the best man. on the other hand, shaolin girl was quite diao i thinkk? although it was jap<3, i feel the storyline was a bit dumb. so yeahh

2008-06-13T23:33:00.002+08:00

haha okay camp was great! haha. dont feel like updating about it coz too many things to talk about! haha so yeah!:DD

shi-ting: hey thanks a lot! haha. although im like super late reply! haha. i was at camp!! haha

vanessa: hey theree! you finally can play audition again!:D haha

2008-06-06T10:59:00.003+08:00

okay, second 6B outing to vivo was yesterday. around the same people came minus de jing, plus shi ting, chan ting, bervyn and shee yee. met up with junko 1st, went the clark quay, then went to harbour front to meet everyone.

had our lunch at foodrepublic. ate a carbonara which was quite delicious really:P at the stall, ted and the guys were like wanting to ask the western stall uncle for char kuay teow. HAHA. but in the end never:/ would have been funny. heh.. ted knows sam kohhh?!?! and i didnt know that until now lah!:O

after lunch we bought the tickets for narnia and went to the arcade to play while waiting for the movie. played virtual tennis!:D went to the finals, suay suay get roger federer then lost:/ haizz.

after that we went down to the cinema, met shi ting and then went to watch the movie. i think narnia was quite nice. i like prince caspian's accent! and his teacher looks like santa claus lahh! haha. okay nvm, yall go watch it yourselves!:D

we were able to take up an entire row in the cinema lah, how cool is that. after the show, we tried to take a group picture of all of us sitting in one row. wanted to ask the cleaner lady to help us but then ted dunked the entire box of popcorn on eechong leaving the floor as a minefield of popcorn so we didnt dare to ask anymore.

after the movie roy found a wallet. it was some adult guy with all the kopi tiam, popular, and cash cards, not to mention money. there wasnt any contact number in the wallet so we went to report the wallet to the information counter. we wanted to tell the person that "mysterious man" found the wallet!:D haha.

roy left his contact number with the lady at the counter and was pretty excited and was thinking of waiting for his "reward". then i got him scared by saying that if anything was lost from the wallet, he would blame it on him! so he went around making sure that none of us koped any money from it. his face was quite funny mann! haha. but anyway im sure none of us took anything coz nan hua taught us well!**bursts out into laughter**

we went to sky garden(you know, like the top lvl of vivo with the cool plastic black man hanging on the chin up bar like forever?) okay, the "fun" started when sheeyee pushed ted into the water. then it was followed by a series of dunking. everyone was saboing everyone. actually i would have joined in the fun but somehow the clouds and the floor and everything was draining up all my energy so i just sat down there with hong yong and the others. it was fun watching all the guys try to dunk daryl into the water but he was too fast and strong for them. in the end he ended up flinging some of them into the water again instead. in the end, only daryl, wen hao, hongyong and i didnt get dunked:P(not counting in the girls lah) but among the girls only sheeyee got dunked. then we continued sitting there for a long while trying to decide where to eat our dinner.

after finally deciding on secret recipes, we got moving. ate a lasagne which was extremely puny lah. think i gobbled it down in around 5 minutes. strangely enough i wasnt hungry any time soon after that. the total cost for all of us was more than 200 dollars i think, what a money eater. they still charged an extra 10% for some service charge or sth

when dinner was done, we went back to sky garden to play some games...... only stopped at 10.30 and we all went home. took MRT back with shi ting, saw her off then went back home.

Max: was thinking of doing that, but nah, too cute already.

Wenhao: haha yeahh, but i'd bet his grandfather knowss:P

Carolyn: heyy! haha. nah thats alright. its at repairs now! heh

ted: haha no problem! haha. eat tissue!XD

2008-06-01T09:26:00.004+08:00

we had a 6B gathering today. enjoyed myself a lot seeing everyone again. although some of them had changed quite a lot on the outside(waa, all became hotterr!:D) but somehow i felt that they were still all the same. just as friendly and funny, if not even more. the people who went were carolyn, daryl, de jing, devin, eechong, hong yong, joey, junko, lilin, roy, ted and wenhao. actually, we were supposed to meet at clementi at 12 but i woke up late and reached there at 12.54-.- champion lahh.. however the guys were really nice and they werent angry or anything. next came de jing followed by junko, then we took a bus to charles house.

actually, no one really knew where his house was and so we got off at some random bus stop opposite ~~ugly~~beauty world. fortunately it was the correct stop:P there we met eechong and ted and charles led us to his house. ted's hair is so cool now lah! talk about style man!

charles has a really niceeeee dog! omg it's damn cute lah! too bad mum will never allow us to get one:/ when we walked into the house, it started barking and stuff but just lay on the floor and didnt move at all. then carolyn was like asking what on earth charles had done to it.( must have sat on it:p) but charles said that the dog had a stroke before??? we had fried rice and curry chicken for lunch. while we were eating the dog suddenly got on its feet and started walking around. its head was always tilted to the left and it kept walking in circles! okay now we believe you charles. it kept walking to wenhao and wenhao tried to scare it with"boo". utter failure coz it didnt react at all. then daryl was warning him, "later it boo you back then you'll be scared"

charles, why is your house FULL OF CLOCKS??? seriously. once we stepped in we saw a whole cupboard of clocks on display. then there was a clock on every side of the wall. every corner you turn, everywhere! along the staircase up, there were even more!! wenhao suggested a new game, the 1st person who managed to count the number of clocks in the house wins.

we watched charles play guitar hero. it looked really fun to play! haha. and i think charles is really pro at it. then he challenged his brother to play with him through the fire and the flames by dragonforce. really crazy that song... insane people!!

went to charles' room to play daidi. while hong yong and charles played the elec. both charles and hong yong play very well! although they played different genres of song... haha. everytime hong yong would play sth on the guitar, it sounded so smooth and emo, creating the atmosphere, then charles would play some rock some and break the emoness. lol.

actually all was going quite well until charles' grandpa came into the room. omg he seriously appeared like out of no where lah! like jumper like that. he was bone skinny and stared at all of us with that discipline master kinda expression. at 1st we all thought we was talking in his own created language to charles and stuff until we heard the word "hooligan". said we were damn rude and all but we were all just puzzled about the whole thing. after he left, charles explained that he was always like that when friends came over. oh well..

after that our mood was kinda spoilt so we went downstairs again. i played a bit of badminton with wenhao and hong yong while the others played more cards. handed my hp over to the others to take care of it and carolyn closed it 0_0 luckily it was still working after i took out the batteries and put them back in. i really love my hp, but its spoilt now:/ mum doesnt wanna repair it coz theres no more warrenty. haizz, too bad i guess.

we all took a group photo coz i was about to leave, then continued cam whoring a bit until nick leong's dad came to fetch me to warren. they are really nice people, thanks so much nick and dad!:D also, as i was about to leave, carolyn said that nick leong was hot! HAHA

although i was only with the guys for a short while, i really enjoyed myself and i miss their company already. reminds me so much of the old days! wish i could've stayed with the guys until the end of the day but i had to train:// ah well, theres another gathering next week!!XDD

badminton was really refreshing. i finally unrusted myself from the stiffness of not playing for 3 weeks. enjoyed badminton too but i kinda wished i was with the others at the same time. ohh well, pity i cant 分身术。heh.

left badminton early too for my brother's dance concert. seriously my brother didnt even tell me about it so i didnt know until wednesday when paul told me.

still, really proud of you kor! you're the VP of dance eh?? not bad sehhh. the dance performance wasnt bad at all really, it was good. went with paul, steph, joanna, jon, amanda, gerald and family. well done kor, its you're last dance performance right, now chiong A lvls all the way!!! i'll also be working!

think my brother's dance instructor is really cool. his name is ryan. from what my bro always tells me about him and from how he looks like in pictures, videos and in person. i can tell that hes a really hilarious guy, probably one of the jokers. hes part of the "0 school", so cool isnt it.

went for supper at al-ameen with gerald, jon, joanna, and steph. the teh bing there is just damn good lah. haha. paul and gerald left after that, for some YE important meeting. followed by jon and joanna, leaving me and steph. dad sent her back home after that and then we went home:D

PoppishCock: hey theree! see you thursday arh!:D haha.

hy: yo dude!! see you thursday too!!:P haha. i wont be late this time i promise!!

gerald: haha yes i know, australian pilots love to fight for their rights ehh?

2008-05-30T18:36:00.002+08:00

school's out! although i have achieved a plateau of worksheets for holiday homework. i hope everything falls into place neatly. time to take a break from it all:D cant wait for church camp!!

everyone's leaving singapore. 1st nat, now shaunald and darren. its getting pretty empty around here! heard sth interesting today. the sji guys going europe had to postpone their trip because the australian pilot was on strike??? what on earth mann. so yeap. they're all still here, only leaving tmr. suayyness:P

cheryl(x : hey yo!!!:D hi back! haha. see you soon!

2008-05-26T15:38:00.003+08:00

hopefully now i can get to enjoy my holidays. chinese Os today was okay. thanks to the many practices that we've been pumped with, the whole sji had actually done one of the passages in the li jie wen da before, and the bao zhang bao dao question was in one of our notes also! too bad i didnt really see it then. haha. nevertheless i think it was quite okay, apart from the tiny screw up i did:P i hope the rest of the week is filled with nice nice holiday stuff! whoohoo!

Kenn: yo!! haha. of course i do! haha, and i remember that whiskey and chocolate cake as well!:D hows life been!

2008-05-19T13:54:00.003+08:00

theres only 2 more sessions of alpha left. i guess it was kinda fun getting to know new friends and stuff. but soon we'll will see if it was really effective or not and i guess i'd really like to see new ppl in YE:) it was nice being part of the food com. its sth different than always worship min. speaking of which, i realised i havent been singing for YE for a very long time. oh wells...

ytd we had shepherd's pie for lunch:P really love those! although sandra says we probably wont be having any more of those:/ so anyway, the session was about how to resist evil by paul ho. think it was quite interesting. and nat! you do know there was a camera behind right!!!

dinner was at redhill. ate with mark paul jon and nat. shaunald, sherrill jiansheng and aaron were at another table. the table that we were sitting at was right next to this basamalam place. there was this CD shop playing all the oldie outdated music. paul couldnt stand it so he went to the shop aunty and requested for backstreet boys. the aunty was really nice and accepted the request. anyway good for her, coz the moment she changed the song genre she got much more customers. heh:P

then comes the screwed up part. intially, we planned to all go to paul's house for ping pong after dinner. afterall, today was to be a holiday and chances like these dont come by very often. my mum allowed it but shaunald wasnt. then there was this chain of backing out. like then sherrill wasnt allowed to go. js and aaron backed out coz there were "too few ppl". nat also wanted to back out(but we persuaded him in the end)

now my mum wanted to join the chain and said that no one was going already. i told her that mark, paul and luke were there. altogether 4 ppl is enough. still, my brother tried to persuade me not to go and saying its canceled.(which was totally a false pressumption) but i wanted to prove a point that making decisions only to follow the crowd is not the way, all it does is create a chain effect. so i went to paul's house on my own by MRT.

we didnt play ping pong coz paul and nat didnt really have the mood. however we still havd fun jamming in the end.

and today, im stuck at home doing nothing but stoning and homework. i hate to think of chinese intensives to continue tmr. just another week, and chinese will be over. till then, gotta continue to bear with all this cheena crap. oh well, cant really be helped i guess. see ya

Paul: im so not loaded please. more like a roadside beggar lor!

2008-05-16T22:05:00.004+08:00

okay, screw the chinese mocks tmr! haizz. my hp is spoilt... cant repair it, and cant buy a new one. not enough money:/ its 10.30 already and im the only one at homee?? this is feels weird. feeling really bored so i resorted to my routined exercises again. while i was doing the sit ups, this monster vein suddenly appeared on my waist from no where! freaking scary lah!

ohh that reminds me of the other day when i was talking to matthew about gymnastics. he said that none of the guys could do a split? that was quite shocking coz i always thought it was the main thing that gym ppl were known for:O oh well i was wrong. another thing he said was that many of the gym guys had 8 pac??? i think thats freaking cool lah! like for them "6 pac is no longer an issue, now 8 pac is the real deal!" kinda thing? work time! hoho look im rambling nonsense again:P

oh tmr theres dragon/steamboating! hope its really fun to relieve me of all the pressure caused by the chinese intensives

2008-05-09T19:42:00.004+08:00

so yeah its over. for now. today's last paper just the greatest too:D nows for the chinese o lvls later on this month...

just woke up. came back home at 4pm and slept till now. thought it was like early morning on a saturday then i realised that no one was at home! gonna have a heck of a problem sleeping tonight.

oh boy, sth is wrong with my right eye. its swollen. today i looked quite retarded when i went to school coz my right eye couldnt open fully. what kinda nonsense is this mann!

today after the final paper joon keat and wedgi and i went to cine to watch ironman. when we were ordering the tickets we saw a huge mass of booked seats somewhere at the center, later on realised that the entire class of 436 was watching it too. however we didnt quite join them and we ate our lunch seperately from them. had ours at ljs while they had theirs at bk. ate the breakfast thingi which was suprisingly good. once again we were rambling so much nonsense and laughing away like crazy people and we were late for the movie.

at 1st we were only 10 minutes late. then we went upstairs to the toilet, realised it was the wrong floor, and went down again... and up again. really stupid coz we were like wasting our time going up and down when we shud have just asked the person which floor it was in the 1st place. furthermore we got a just a tiny little bit distracted by dora the explorer:P

ironman wasnt bad at all. i think it was quite well done! wont be a spoiler though:) joon keat came up with this funny idea about how to kill ironman too. encircle him with a coiled wire and pump in an ac current as he flies through. then he'll lose all his powers! haha yeah rightt.

why isnt anyone online! im really bored now. oh well, gonna resort to watching some really old and nice anime:D see ya!

random: err yeah i was from nan hua primary but nah wasnt a geper, unfortunately..

2008-05-07T15:44:00.004+08:00

just a little bit more and it'll all be over. the exams have gotten kinda bad i think? i died in the chem paper 2 and the A maths today. serious i knew how to do it but just couldnt coz i couldnt concentrate due to lack of sleep yesterday. another one of those sleep time upsets coz of prolong naps ytd afternoon. just hope everything else goes according to plan from now till friday.

2008-05-05T14:31:00.007+08:00

really enjoyed the weekend. it was nothing special, just that the past week seemed incredibly draggy with the examinations and other stuff. saturday was really nice. went out for lunch at wheelock's in the afternoon with shu en, mel, nat, paul, jon, gerald, and the fairfield guys. feel kinda bad coz i dont really know all their names.. just know damia coz of certain incidents only. anyway, it was quite fun hanging around with them all. jon was telling us interesting and funny stories about army life.

when we were eating our lunch at burger king, i saw one of my schoolmates from primary school. honestly her face hasnt changed a bit so i could immediately rocognise her. however, she didnt seem to recognise me! have i changed that much since primary 4??

after lunch nat and i went for badminton at warren. i was feeling kind of down during the 1st part of the training coz............ but later on i felt much better! played quite a few fun games and then we were done.

soon after training i went to ah ma's house for dinner coz one of my uncles was celebrating for some bonus he got at work. jiansheng, stop sleeping in the early evenings please. its your dad's bonus ehh! not that im angry at you lah, but then very long nvr see you at ah ma's house already. wassup mann?!

dinner was really nice! all the beef, lamb, speggetti and the wine and more. ate quite a lot:P had fun talking to terry and brian about random funny stuff. also watched some wrestling show. found it kinda dumb and funny~~and fake~~ at the same time. reached home about 12 plus. was really tired but i felt really happy having one whole day of play and not caring about freaking studies!

the next day when i woke up, i found out that i was really sick. sneezing, coughing and all that rubbish. didnt feel like doing anything. still went to church though, and had dinner with the common 149

today didnt feel good at all. my flu was terrible and i was freezing inside that stupid founder's hall while doing my SS and emaths paper today. i felt really cold and tired and sick but hey, still managed to do the papers!:) SS was okay, and emaths made my day! hope i can keep this up till friday! i cant wait for all this to end!

2008-05-02T14:11:00.004+08:00

had our english and bio paper 2 exams today. english was better than expected, bio was okay. hope i can still get that A1. oh well, it all depends on the mcq next friday. next 2 papers up are SS and mathematics. shouldnt be a problem but i guess we'll see...

just found out something quite shocking. it appears that mgs and sji had the same paper for bio skill 3, like identical with the balsam plant and red and green light and stuff. not so sure if there are still gonna be other schools taking this same paper but yeah i think its quite surprising that they allowed the question to be the same. if its like this then the question can leak ehh. good and bad i guess. oh well!(so other schools prepare yourself! but if you're school does a different SPA skill 3 then dont come and kill me arhh!)

2008-04-29T20:43:00.004+08:00

its been quite weird recently, im becoming a night animal or sth. cant seem to sleep at night and like in the afternoons after school i sleep through the whole entire day, only waking up at night after dinner time. crap i dont wanna be an owl!:/ so ugly and eyeballs big big...

the situation was exactly as mentioned above just ytd! came back from school and having the mentality that i shall complete all my SS revision that day. however at around 4pm, after reading through like half of the chapter on kuwait and iraq, i guess it was so boring that i just konked out. before i knew it i woke up at 9pm. felt really terrible coz like i couldnt possibly accomplish my goal for the day. furthermore i knew that my sleep that night was ruined and the next day was like the Biology O lvls SPA skill 3. the final practical for bio and i couldnt afford to screw it up. still, i did try to rush up with my SS revision and finished off the other half of the chapter. then i tried going to sleep... couldnt do it. the weather that day was totally horrible and the whole house was like an oven. dont know why! and even after turning on the aircon i still couldnt get to sleep.

while lying about on my bed, i suddenly had this weird chennai nostalgia whereby all the memories of the trip just pumped back into my mind. i remembered all the fun retarded and interesting stuff we all did within that short trip of 7 days. it was definitely a nice feeling just remembering all the stuff and the atmosphere of the trip was really so great. there was no stress, no worries about homework or exams, it was just living a day in a foreign land, having the time of our lives.

i remembered all the dumb theories that luhan came up with, some in which cannot be told, the times we went to prank shu en by spamming her room doorbell and running away. the reflections we had every night after the day's activity and that retarded night when we stayed up talking total crap and joon keat didnt want to go back to his room coz he was afraid that he would find nigel had over-emoed and sliced his wrist. still recalled many other things like the food, the friends, the stupid jokes, the moron shirt, the school, the rubik's cube, the gastric, the sights and sounds and the fellowship, basically everything from the 1st till the last day. surprisingly i dont think i have forgotten much about that trip until now. soon i realised that the aircon had been turned off because it was already nearing 1am. i turned it back on and attempted one more time to get to sleep.

dreamt of really random stuff in that warped reality world and was awaken by a "he's the reason for the tear drops on my guitar" by my brother's hp.

today, bio skill 3 was a breeze. had our paper in that freezing cold founder's hall. after which we resumed our normal lessons.

as usual, today i had a plan on my activity of the day - to finish off the last chapter of SS. however, i just had to leave my textbook in school so ended up ~~studying geography instead~~ sleeping again. its gonna be another long night for me again. perhaps being nocturnal isnt as bad. instead of thinking of being an ugly fat owl, maybe i'll think of being some cool vampire instead:P right... back to my nonsense again. well, TTFN! - tah tah for now!(quotes from tigger -winnie the pooh)

mark: haha yeap i know, im much better now thanks:D say, have you got those glasses and your ear fixed yet?:O

shi-ting: yeah lor! its so scary. but i think he shud have won his competition by now:P

max: yeahh thats exactly where we were positioned lah! HAHA. too bad the plan nvr worked out...

2008-04-25T19:04:00.007+08:00

today was sports day. it was really so boring and the whole lot of us were stoning for around 4 whole hours. the ncc land ppl guarded the entrance and exits of the toa payoh stadium to prevent any excapees. everyone wasnt really paying attention to the events and they were all just playing psp. coming to the end of the ceremony the whole psp bunch was like coming up with retarded "ninja plans" of how to escape from the stadium. plans such as jumping from roof to roof to bus stop roof and highjacking a bus and such.

it was so embarrassing because as we were so engrossed in creating brilliant excape plans, that we didnt really know that the entire school was already singing the school song. as i heard the tune i just exclaimed "oh what the hell is this stupid song?", which was really dumb because everyone was like looking at me after that :X but seriously, i couldnt recognise the song at all at first!

went lunch after that with joon keat, wei jun and gerald at orchard. sth really dumb happened. joon keat folded one of the pink fliers into a tiny paper aeroplane and started throwing it about. we were really retarded trying to see who could make the plane fly the furthest. as were throwing it, suddenly some guy in a black car which drove past took a picture of all 4 of us. i am so checking stomp tmr-.- expecting to see 4 boys in multi coloured sji house shirts staring happily at a pink plane flying in mid air. joon keat said perhaps the guy took it for submitting it for a competition. then he came up with bizzare theory that if he won 1st prize we shud go find him and demand a 50% of the prize money or sue him for copywrite infringement.

ate at far east subway. somehow we started talking about a few "hybrid" species of people in sji. co-dominance 50% cases of heterozygous alleles:P after that we went over to kfc coz wedgi had no money to eat subway after his expensive haircut. over at kfc, gerald took out his psp and started playing some game. it was kind of amusing to watch him coz he was using super hacking with the guy spinning around the map at super speed eliminating everything in its path. also, the character was like super imba? using 1 swing of a normal attack would result in 78646739 hits received by the enemy. how cheat is that! mad hacker. went home shortly after that and then it was back to heavy studying again. haizz, at least today was different from the norm.

ed: haha thanks, you too! hahah. linked you already! haha. hmm bet you finished studying ages ago already havent you!

Mark: fear is the path of the darkside! fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering!! quotes by master yodaXP.

hongyong: are you kidding?? how can i ever forget you 6-year same class buddy! sorry have been kinda busy!:/

nat: haha thanks. im a lot better now:) see you on sunday! whehee! the shepherd's pie looks super delicious!!!

2008-04-23T19:26:00.002+08:00

havent really had time to update properly and consistently for the past few weeks. mid years are on the way. really screwed up. still got lots to study for but my brain is just at the brink of mental break down. cant absorb anymore information. its like everything is getting all fuzzy inside and cant seem to recall the past revised stuff. the culprit for these is definitely full history. its killing my brain cells oh someone help me.........

really feel like taking a break but there doesnt seem to be sufficient time for that. dad says that when overloaded with things to do, write down everything on a piece of paper, and solve the problems one by one by one. however, dont think it works this way for studies. now its more of the opposite?? like trying to stuff everything from the papers into your head instead?? really trying hard to get the stuff into my head but the more i try the more i forget. this is what is known as Burn Out, a situation in which the brain cannot take up any new information and therefore leading to inefficiency. even worse, things that it did take in before cant seem to be recalled.

its been around a month of intensive study in preparation for this darn thing and im not so sure if i've got much motivation left. sheesh its not even the o lvls and im like so dead? roarrr! rahh!!! BLEHH!

okay sorry. this post is really kinda pointless coz im venting with a half confused mind, so all those that bothered to read this, sorry for wasting your time.

2008-04-19T20:59:00.002+08:00

goshushosama, zippy-kun. my condolences, zippy!:( 5pm today vomited blood and died not long after. haizz. poor dog:/

today went sc carnival. met up with shaunald and sherrill at jurong interchange 1st. also saw someone unexpected there. was kinda late for the carnival coz the bus 66 just didnt come. we waited at the interchange for like super long and there were no buses at all please! then suddenly four 66 buses suddenly came-.- retarded lahh. then whats worse was that the bus driver didnt want to start the bus. he was slowly taking his time, checking the seats, after that progressing on to checking every area of the bus, as if trying to find a bomb. he was so slow that the driver(who came later than him) started the bus 1st. so sherrill shaunald and i boarded and we were on our way.

what was really irritating is that the seemingly super slow bus driver was suddenly speeding his way through and overtaking us. we all recognised his face and were like super pissed with him lah! it was a really long ride to sc coz our bus was quite slow. we watched maggie and mee on tv mobile, was more interesting than i expected it to be though. amazingly sherrill had actually kept up with every single episode and was able to tell us the whole storyline background and stuff.

at the carnival. we just walked around the place buying food. later nat shaunald and i decided to paint of hair! was kinda cool but we had to wash it off later on:/

over at the carnival, i saw quite a number of ppl i didnt expect to see and the ppl who i tried to look for could not be found, but all in all it was quite fun i guess.

after that went for badminton and the usuals. had dinner and returned home. alright, full history time:/

Paul Ho: haha eh it was really scary okay! uncle barber very noob one!:/

2008-04-10T19:05:00.006+08:00

today was quite fun. i was sent to go uncle barber.

Who Is Uncle Barber?

uncle barber is a malay man who hops from school to school now and then to cut the hair of students with "inappropriate excessive lengths." he charges 5 dollars per cut and he sucks. his visualisation skill is limited to only 2 types of haircut. one is an ultra slope while the other is a mega straight cut for the back, side burns, and fringe. honestly its not worth the money.

tmr is phototaking day. i wanted to cut my hair after school today, however, i was caught during the morning assembly along with some 20 other boys from sec 4 and was sent for a cut. the HOL kept all our EZ links and only allowing us to claim it back after our hair had been cut. we were sent to the parade square to wait for the barber to arrive.

the wait was horribly long. altogether we had wasted the whole 1st period (mother tongue) waiting for the guy to come. and another period due to the slowness in progression of the long queue of boys in front of us. during the wait, many of us had already conjured many interesting ideas and plans of how to save our lives!

Plan A - marney muney money mahneh.......... MA-NEY!

this is the reverse of what people would actually want in the real world. the original price of a haircut would be 5 dollars. to have haircut with more detail and style would probably cost more. however, some of us intended to pay more... for a less severe cut. yess! i mean bribery:P many of the guys who have gotten their hair cut before all supported this plan because they claimed it had worked the previous times. a 5 dollar note +2 at the bottom for cutting less and a 10 dollar note (psk! keep the change) for just a slight trim. basically the more you pay, the less they would cut!

however, there were quite a number of us who didnt have that much money. therefore a plan B was improvised.

PLAN B - throw it away, forget uncle barber, we'll make the great escape

this consisted of the group who did not have the money for bribes. the plan was to escape from the school compounds, get the hair cut by an external competitor, and then find our way back to school and sneak back in. it sounded like a really nice idea and in fact, they really tried to do it. the 1st attempt was through the main entrance, an utter failure due to tight security from the fat lady security guard. next was the back gate at the street soccer court. unfortunately, there were many cleaners present at the area sweeping the floor and cleaning up the litter. when both approaches had failed, they suddenly bumped into the school councellor. this was followed by a long hypotic attack by the man, trying to psycho all of them to just cut our hair, " dont make an issue out of this"

PLAN C - dont you know who i am??

others had figured that it was best to practice their situational writing skills by inventing a dilemma and presenting it to the HOL/the barbers. "i cant cut my hair! i got modeling later!" or "i am performing later leh! cannot cut! im the star!", "tmr i got to attend the concert!" and stuff like that:P however, i highly doubted that the barbers would understand that importance and would probably just get on with the procedure.

there were other plans as well, such as cutting our own hair, and repairing the damage after school. in this way, we would be able to control and limit the amount of damage done i guess.

actually what i did, was to return back to class and attend lessons as per normal. after school i used coins to take a bus back and cut my hair outside. tmr i am attempting to gather my fellow brethren to claim back our EZ links!:D

today was just damn suay lah, i had actually already took 10 dollars from my mum ytd coz i planned to cut my hair today. but after all the complications, my EZ link card is still not in my possession. i dont really know what will happen tmr... prolly get scolded for pontanging uncle barber but hey, what the heck ya? :D

Shi-ting: hahaa sorry! been kinda busy lately! haha. but see, i listen to you and update leh!:D HAHA

friday was the last day of the competition for us. we were up against maris stella. well the match didnt really matter anyway since we were already out. but the guy that played for their 3rd singles was really nice. during that match, daniel cut his knee while diving for the shot and somehow the blood just kept flowing out of that tiny cut. the match was temporarily stopped and the kranji coach gave daniel a plaster and a bandage. the maris guy was really nice and came over and asked if he was laright and even helped him to put the plaster on. it was quite amusing and could hear ppl from the other court saying stuff like "woah opponent put plaster for opponent" and stuff.

when the match resumed the maris guy suddenly became all vicious and stuff again and kept smashing daniel and making him run-_- so much for friendly. but its understandable lah, its a competition after all. could tell he was a good person:D

funorama on saturday was.... crowded. i guess it was quite fun lah. bought lots of food but didnt play many games. initially i went there with nat and the twins. then i lost them a few times and gave up. bought a drink from lien's stall and nearly bought ramly from charissa's stall. i got a shirt too!but that was quite expensive though. saw many people at the funfair and many ye ppl were there too! also watched steph's magic show for a discounted price! quite interesting really. forgot to ask steph how she did all those! also saw many other ppl i knew as well but very few sji guys coz they were all at the st nicks funfair. after that it was back to the usual with badminton and stuff. that was the end of my day.

sunday was family sunday and there was no YE. it was also the bb/gb enrolement day and there were many of them there. we went to eat claypot rice nearby shaunald's house for dinner. after that we went to the playground to mess around until it started to rain:/ we went to the shelter and the adults came to pick us up soon after.

mark: exactly! but i think i will grow really fat by the end of o lvls though!
scgirl: hey no problem!:D

2008-03-26T18:13:00.002+08:00

tmr theres enrichment day. its gonna be really slack and boring. whats new? an average school day is already getting extremely boring already. i hope this year just passes by quickly:/

2008-03-22T09:49:00.003+08:00

havent really blogged in quite a while. guess i got nothing much to say recently. the whole week was boring with work work and more work. now im at home doing more work again:/ just finished watching another really short 12 episode anime series. i gave up on full moon already coz i just couldnt finish watching 50 plus episodes of boring stuff! still havent watched finish clannad and claymore. im still in the process of rewatching digimon world 1 and shakugan no shana 2. oh mann, wonder if i shud really be wasting so much time on anime this year. still, its one of my only source of entertainment these days whenever im free...

mark: oh okay thats great:D

2008-03-20T16:02:00.003+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!:D

jo-ann: hahaha yeap! shh=P

2008-03-13T18:37:00.003+08:00

this is really boring. feels like im wasting the holidays away coz all im doing now is half stoning and doing homework:/ the weather's been really nice though. dont need to turn on the air con every night. haizz. 3 days left. better make full use of the rest of my time! :S

Lien: yeap i went! haha. you know about it?

2008-03-09T00:37:00.003+08:00

Band(age) was quite fun quite fun and expensive too. i think all the bands were quite good lah. but i kinda liked the 4th one coz they had good harmonising and the guy had a great range. i even bothered to remember the names of all the bands! Life Box, Finding Michelle, Tollstoy, One Hot Minute, Ten Minutes Late and Redeeming The Riot.

the drummer of tollstoy was really solid and her drumming skills were like awesome pleasee. One Hot Minute was really nice. so was Ten Minutes Late, except for some really screechy parts by the elec solo. Redeeming The Riot was the winner. i guess coz the singer had a really good voice like the main singer of boys like girls:P

all in all i had fun seeing everyone again. although there were some really irritating ppl after the interval who stole azriel and co's seats. quite maddening coz he didnt really bother to budge. oh well. i guess there are many ppl like this in the world. hmm, now im reminded of the chennai trip! really miss that trip where we all had lots of fun and didnt have to worry about anything like homework or school.

2008-03-07T16:40:00.005+08:00

didnt have school today. still went there for ptm though coz of my history results:/ after that went for lunch with mum and dad at Swissotel. was a really nice place. a 72 story building. its the tallest building in Southeast Asia. the lift was really fast and scary and could feel the air pressure build up in your ears and stuff. the food and service there was absolutely excellent. so was the view. everything looked really small from up there. pretty cool.. heh.

they gave us carbonated water to wash our hands! how cool is that!

st andrew's cathedral. its in a shape of a cross

the esplanade

the toilets there are really big and nice and on the way there were lots beer on display-_-

2008-03-05T18:00:00.004+08:00

good bye jeannette!! please take care!
for one last time.

sent jeannette off at changi today. i guess shes finally gone. haizz sian. got no mood to do anything related to school now luh. haha. was looking through the photos the other day and realised something.

this picture was taken sometime ago when 149 was house hopping. look how different jeannette is compared to now! haha. oh wells, thats how time flies i guess.

quite emo now. like why does everyone always leave in march! aunty edna left 7th march 2004 and now jeannette. argh i dont like march anymoree!

2008-03-03T15:16:00.007+08:00

house cheers today was simply interesting. didnt expect michael to win at all really. during the rehearsals everyone was so slack and no one was cheering. when we heard the lorence house cheers we all were like.... "die already" when it was our turn we just stood there and did our thing. for the 1st time i actually bothered to shout. but regretted coz i got a sore throat from that. marcian came in 4th, followed by fintan 3rd. its funny, i only attended 2 house practices coz i left for competition most of the time. lucky i got to know all the cheers on the last day. michael house got this new dumb cheer adapted from tokyo drift:

i wonder if you know
how we michael rule the show
if you see it and you know it
then you really gotta go
rock on michael! (mi-chael)
rock on michael! (mi-chael)

actually, its kind cool like, michael hasnt won for like so long lah. and theres a weird trend as well. 2004 to 2008 - 1st, 4th,3rd,2nd,1st. well that means next year we are prolly getting last again! whoohoo! good luck to yall>:P

just finished writing jeannette's farewell card. hope my parents will let me send her off on wednesday so i can hand it to her!

2008-03-02T22:23:00.010+08:00

Saturday

was a busy day once again. went to church for the 2nd session of Youth-Alpha in the morning. the session was from 9am to 3pm. i find Youth-Alpha really cool and it is really just a marvellous... thing! haha. couldnt find any other word.~~(limited vocab)~~

i didnt get to stay for the whole session though coz i had to leave for training. left at 1.45pm which was some time after the lunch break. really regretted going for training at all in the end coz i heard from the rest that the worship and prayer session after i left was truly amazing. daryl got slain and joanna received the gift of tongues! wonder how it felt yall!:O i believe all the rest were blessed as well. anyway i really regretted not staying for the whole thing..

training was nothing much. had to leave early as well because i went to celebrate ale's birthday!

hey there Godsis! havent really seen you around much this year. hope you've been doing well! i know you're all busy preparing for Os and stuff so keep it up!:D really miss seeing ya in YE though! well this year we celebrated your actual birthday at last huh! its really cool to have a friend with a birthday on leap year! thanks for being such a blessing to all of us. have a really Happy Birthday!

after celebrating with ale we headed to auntie lai mui's house for jeannette's farewell party. the people over there were basically the 149 gang. jeannette had this sore throat which made her voice sound really cute! treasure that sexy voice while you can dude coz you're going to recover soon and lose it coz i'll be praying for ya!:P

took lots of pictures, unfortunately i only have 3. anyone who has more please send me!! had lots of fun over there playing table soccer with nat, and playing at the playground with everyone! shaunald mark and i were playing with that gym thingi. it was really retarded being the Spasm Trio coz we all werent strong enough to hold ourselves hanging at the position! we were being so noisy that the security officer came and scolded all of us:/

woah..everyone has red eyes -.-

Sunday

jeannette is leaving for aussie this wednesday. i guess this is the 1st time that someone from YE is migrating off for good to another country. had an extremely touching moment today when jeannette made her speech and cried. and when we all prayed for her everyone was all tearing and sniffing and i cried too!:/

hey jeannette! you are really such a funny, and amazing person. i am glad that God has blessed all of us with you. we will miss you a lot. keep in contact and come back to visit us sometime yeah? i have come to know you as a very fun and interesting person and i am glad to have a friend like you. may God keep you safe and give you a good environment there. im sure that YE will always rmb you.

the sermon at the main service today was really good! the speaker was speaking chinese though, but the translator was absolutely funny. actually, so was the speaker! hahaha. it was a really nice day today. although i was kinda tired after YE and all.

we went to NUH for dinner. after that we went to visit uncle kenneth who had a really bad slip-disk. it was kinda funny like in the waiting room where we were all doing some retarded and funny stuff. once again we were all laughing so loudly that the hospital person came to tell us to be quiet. actually, at that time it was already passed visiting hours so it was kinda cool when the adults told us to sneak into the ward 1 by 1. inside, nat and shaunald were just hilarious lah!
mask-selamat

poor uncle kenneth. still smiling and being cheerful as ever.

to a friend:

hey there, thanks for that note today. i know that along that way quite some time ago we suddenly just drifted. although it wasnt really obvious, but i really could feel that we werent as close as we used to be. dont really know when it started either but i guess it just kept getting worse. sorry for everything. i really want this problem of ours to be solved too. yeap lets start all over again. as of today im going to pray to God to help me let go as well. the power of prayer works miracles yeah? please forgive me for all the grudges i held against you as well. thanks for being there for me and thanks for the earphones!

2008-02-29T23:46:00.002+08:00

the police disappeared today!!:/ so much for the picture:( nothing much happened today. just had training then went down to church for Y-alpha. pretty cool thing and im going back tmr for the 2nd session. kinda tired now and cant really think properly. off to sleep now! ZZZ
ps: if anyone is still reading this blog please tag. or else i feel im talking to myself!

2008-02-28T16:32:00.003+08:00

today school was quite cool. the ji guy escaped ytd and ran somewhere to whitley road so like this morning there were police guarding and patroling all over the place. like there was 1 policeman for every 10 steps or sth. they were all over the place and guarding the perimeters of school areas like scgs and sji! really wanted to take a picture, guess i'll do it tmr!:P

2008-02-26T22:14:00.005+08:00

woot, i just love badminton!:D watched the south zonal finals ytd. was awesome stuff mann! ri won ac for C div but lost narrowly for the B div with 2-3. really nice to watch...

for the B div, the 1st singles was the toughest fight with masa against jie xiong. rubber set and masa won in the end. could tell that jie xiong was getting really tired coz his smashes suddenly became weaker and less sharp coming to the middle of the 3rd set. apart from the 1st singles, the other matches seemed really clear who the winner would be. both of ri's doubles won and ac's 2nd singles won. leaving the final match as the decider - ming jun against that elvis guy. ri seemed to have messed up in that last match and ming jun won in the end. cant rmb the 1st set but the 2nd set was 21-19. so close yet so far, hence acsi was the winner.

apart from that, raffles seemed to have won the rest of the games. not only for the guys but the girls as well with rgs against scgs. got a confession to make, which is i so totally support sc over rgs. hehe. reason being? coz i dont really know anyone from rgs (except my sis?) and i was hoping that scgs could overthrow rg!:P

for their B div, it was also 3-2. a really really close match. rg won the 1st singles but sc fought back for the doubles and totally owned rg mann!!:DD woohoo! that match was totally awesome to watch and sc won straight sets! oww, my eardrums nearly burst when they won that match coz the entire sc cheered really loud and high pitch? yeap... the sc spirit, really cool stuff. on the other hand when rg cheered, they were the exact opposite lah! their pitch was extremely low can! haha.

i so believe sc could have won lor! coz their 3rd singles won, and their 2nd doubles was a really close match! they rubbered with rg and the entire match lasted really very long. was cheering for sc all the way man! its too bad rgs had to win:/ haha. oh well thats okay. coz the nationals are coming soon! so cant wait to be back in action!

also quite an upsetting result was that sji lost to ang mo kio 2-3 and got 4th in the end. i seriously feel we could have won them but oh wells. as i said, nationals are coming soon!:D

it seems like im not the only one who supports sc, but even my chinese teacher does! today during chinese period she was talking to us about which school is more refined and all. then she was like practically promoting scgs lah! HAHA! she kept saying that although rgs is smarter she prefers scgs coz when she invigilated at scgs all of them smile at her very politely?? then she went on saying that she wants her daughter to go scgs... etc etc and lots more. wont go any further into that topic.

sheesh. already received 4 scripts of the common test back already. some turned out quite well! others... not good at all... failed my chinese...again:/

no one: oh no, the tagboard is dead already!:/

2008-02-23T22:30:00.002+08:00

at last im back. was really extremely busy for the last 2 weeks coz of the common tests and competitions and external exams. im at home now just stoning and just watching the world pass. i appreciate stoning more than ever now coz i havent had the chance to for who knows how long. its all finally over. thank you God for helping to bring me through day by day. oh boy is my blog dead already... oh wells!

this morning i had the accounting exam. we all got owned by that old man. knew it was too good to be true. when i saw the questions i was shocked. utterly disgusted by what he brought me to believe was true. was it something that made him so angry he wanted us to fail? or was he tricking us all this time from the start? well lets hope we all pass this one. i will nvr be so naive ever again. dont get me wrong, im not angry with him, only agitated to find out it was all a lie. wont take it to heart coz its all over now.

went badminton in the afternoon. coach taught us a really cool system in badminton called the MASK
M- move the opponent
A- apply pressure
S- skill
K- Kill
wont go really deep into that topic though coz the whole system has quite a long explaination:P

i couldnt make it for ale's surprise party. everything was just so suay lah... like the timings and stuff. went for worship prac at night. the really stupid part was that the full band couldnt even come. though mark came later on, the prac was really weird coz it was only done with the keys. the more dumb thing was that we nearly had to cancel the whole prac coz the letterbox keys my sis passed me somehow didnt seem to fit! so the door key was stuck in that letterbox. tried to slip my fingers through to grab the key. after many attempts of failure, daniel went upstairs and got a spoon, a chopstick, and a scissors. we tried to use the scissors to "kyap" the key but it was out of reach. after a while we finally managed to move it to a suitable distance, then picked it out with the chopstick! it was freaking retarded i tell you-.- my poor knuckles are still red from the attempts but hey it was fun i guess.

Mel: yeahh... too bad i dont have many pictures:((

2008-02-10T23:13:00.000+08:00

hello world! havent really had the time to blog these few days. basically have been going to like 153646 houses of all the different relatives. all in all it was quite fun getting to see all my long-time-no-see cousins and all.

ytd we had lunch at nat's place with the ghuis, hos, lows, liaws and the neos. after we all finished eating we went down to play volleyball at the badminton court. it was kinda retarded like we all coudnt get the rally past 10 at 1st. at the end of the day the record was still only 21! we had to leave the place early at 3 coz we had to go to jon and josh's house. there we played this really cool marvel board game. too bad we didnt get to complete it though...

since jon was going to meet gerald and the rest at paul's house, my bro and i decided really last minute to tag along as well. played ping pong with mark for 1hr 45mins and watched tokoyo drift! uncle kai meng sent grace jon sis bro and i back home.

today was kinda boring. went to js' house 1 hours late. played a wee bit of tennis and the some cs back upstairs. took a cab to church and after that kinda drifted into my own world until dinner at redhill. haizz tmr there is school again and im so not in the mood can! sheesh i think im gonna be sick!

felice: haha okay! you're welcome!
Magoo: yeah okay sureee-.- thanks for all the help!! Haha kidding

2008-02-07T23:44:00.000+08:00

oh crap... my walkman earphones are like spoilt!:(( anyone know where to buy new ones??

2008-02-07T08:01:00.001+08:00

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

2008-02-02T22:12:00.000+08:00

actually i was kinda frustrated today and all. really having problems with practically everything. in the morning i went for enterprise and the lady told me that they cant locate my assignment and asked me to redo it. and that is like super unreasonable coz its them who are the ones that lost the freaking thing can! it reminded me of how i was so reluctant to even join this stupid thing. just that my dad forced me to and its giving me like so much problems since then.

in the afternoon i went over to play board games with paul the twins and my bro. dunno why but it seems like some ppl are always targeting and saboing me in the game. like c'mon man! whats the big idea luh! had badminton later in the afternoon. didnt play well at all. i think im getting like lousier each week instead of better:/

dont know why but i always have the tendency of thinking of all my problems at once and they all get mixed up and all jumbled up in my head(if you know what i mean) that really gets my kinda stressed and like when ppl ask me whats wrong i also dont know what to say coz its like many things combine.

anyway, was really kinda emo at a certain point when i was in the mrt and on the way to warren. listening to my walkman, some song suddenly came on. it was "This is the Day" by Paradise Worship and the song really spoke to me. especially the chorus which goes sth like:

"Be glad and rejoice for our Lord the Saviour reigns,
and the joy of the Lord will be our strength.
i was born to be in Your dwelling place.
this is the day that the Lord has made."

after listening to the song i realised how small my problems actually are and that we shud always rejoice in the Lord and He will give us strength. by sending Jesus to die on the cross was the price he paid and now we are free and we belong to him. so theres nothing to be worried about and frustrated about. so from there i decided to try and pick myself up and solve one problem at a time.

so heres the 1st problem i'll solve - the unfinished but due chinese work. see yall!:D

2008-01-30T19:26:00.001+08:00

okay, today simply sucked lah.:/ all the test results i received today were failures and stuff. even my chinese oral went terribly and the chinese teacher scolded me ~~so whats new~~ haizz.. it seems that im not really coping well at all...

today 5 dollars just flew out of my wallet! it all happened so quickly. at recess there were acjc ppl all over the place and they were selling fun fair tickets for 29 of march. now i know im like super not good at rejecting ppl at all!!:/

thinking about dsa and stuff. dont really know how the system works but it sure sounds really cheat:D perhaps i can go somewhere by dsa hmm... but its just a thought. in reality i have really no idea what to do, how to dsa and stuff
