Happy boxing day (=
haha i've finally decided to blog aftr so long...zzz. the hols have been very very tiring, but at least i've got more rest time in the last 2 weeks.
Let's start with the choir trip.
We went to Prague and Czesky Krumlov in Czech Republic, Vienna in Austria, and Bratislava in Slovakia. It was a rather stressful trip, but at the same time very enjoyable too.
We met at Terminal 1 on the 29th of Nov, and came back 12 days later on the 12th of Dec. Besides us, RGS, CJC, and two other local choirs went too. The good thing was that our trip was only 2.5K. Not saying that it was very cheap, but extremely reasonable. (= RGS had paid nearly 3.4K!!
So well, we finally left good old Singapore and headed for Dubai, where we would rest for about 5 hours before taking another 6+ hour flight to Vienna. My internal clock was screwed up by the time we reached there. I had absolutely no idea of the time (haha cuz i slept too much) in Singapore, Dubai, and Europe. Well, didn't really care much. Anyway, Air Emarites is very good! The food is nice, the seats are comfy, and scramble dash gives you an adrenaline rush. Haha, since when were in-flight games that much enjoyable?! And louis' brain and fingers work super fast, he got like 8 out of the top 10 overall (imba!).
Got out of the airport and followed the bus driver to the bus. The weather there was not as bad as I expected. In fact, it was super cooling and nice! If only Singapore could have this kind of weather. It's so much different from an aircon room back home. So we sat on the bus, which took us all the way to prague. And all of us never realised how dark the sky could be at 4pm there. It was like late at nite....probably like now when the clock hit 5.30pm.
Anyway, we finally reached the hotel after a long journey...and well, it was dinner (which didn't exactly taste that nice). The soup was very salty, and the rice seemed so different. But well, it was still edible, and I would soon get used to it (every bowl of soup I drank was super salty!). So well, practice at night, which was not as bad as I thought it would be. We sang okay...practice wasn't too long, and it was sleeping time by then (I think it was around 11pm).
1st Dec, Friday. Today would be CJC's and RGS' competition. We were to support CJC in the small group category, and also view some other choirs. Most were not too fantastic, although the small group of 8 ladies were good. But I did think CJC did better. Their soloists are really pro! Haha, heard that they got diploma in voice. No wonder...Anyway, more practice would follow, and we all did seem rather confident because we were singing up to standard (or at least almost there). Oh yah, and there was this Polish choir which we called the old people's choir for obvious reasons. Haha, they were damn funny la. Next time I'll try to upload their song and u all hear it for yourself. But they did enjoy themselves (=
Saturday, the big day. We got up, and warmed up all that, and had one more last prac before the competition. We were all set and ready to go, and so we went onto the stage. It was tough, to stand there with all the lights so glaring, and with the judges and audience keeping so silent it seemed so intimidating. Gosh, it was hard to concentrate. In addition to that, the acoustics were vastly different from any other place that most of us have sung at. So well, we didn't think it was too great, and most of us walked off the stage being disappointed. We messed up the easiest songs, the ones which we had done well so many times before this competition (like 3 months+, some extending to 3 years). This night would also be the results night, and most of us knew we had failed, it was a subpar performance.
Still, we had fun at dinner. Linan and his steak, which is smaller than my clenched fist, cost 330 dollars (Czech money), equivalent to almost 24 sing. Accompanying it was a meagre serving of potatoes. Still, he claimed it was damn nice (= Me and jong shared a pizza (30 cm which is huge!) for only half the price, plus an iced lemon tea. It came in this really nice bottle, and so we took it out into the chilly night to cool the drink, and it became extremely nice to drink! So well, we crapped a lot as usual, and two other groups (from RV) were there too at the same place. After dinner, we finally went back...I was more or less prepared to hear that we got silver.
The closing party/awarding ceremony was held in this huge place called the National House Smichov. And it was really quite dim there. Anyway, there were many many other choirs (63 in total). They had a jazz performance at first, which got slightly boring after a while...but still quite nice la. Haha, and all the choirs kept doing kallang waves, which is quite cool (= Also, there was this other choir behind us, and there was this guy with a girl lying on his lap. They were talking to each other, and suddenly..the guy was like "sexy bomboms" in this very very funny accent, and all of us started bursting out laughing. Yishu just couldn't stop, he kept whispering to us about them. LOL. So well, the results finally were announced. We had gotten a gold, but yet, there were still tears and dejected looks. It was very weird, because every other choir was cheering when their results were announced, and we were (probably) the most stone choir, sadly. Haha, we were damn bad la. Never clap for other choirs..only clap for singapore choirs. Haiz...anyway, RGS, CJC, and the Singer's vocal ensemble all achieved better results than us. They got other awards apart from gold. The final singapore choir got a silver. It was a sad sad night, and there were those who couldn't stop being so upset. We did not achieve what we had expected to achieve. So yeah, we all went back and had debrief (I didn't pay attention :P), and then it was lights out.
btw, so sorry stacey if I replied late! My phone was off most of the time, or rather, the conductor didn't allow us to switch it on -.- and also congrats (= haha u ppl did really well.
The next day, we left our hotel to move closer to the city centre, where we would have a two day tour. It was okay la, sightseeing and stuff. Learnt a lot, like the powder tower, the cathedrals, the astronomical tower, different techniques used to design buildings in different eras (baroque, roccocco etc...) blahblahblah. We had transferred to this hotel called the hotel city centre, and it was this really small building stuffed along a street. The arrangement of the rooms were very weird...and our room was on the 6th and top floor, the only group on that level. In addition to that, our room was at the next building, so we had to walk to the 5th story and cross over to the next building and go up, and then all the way down the long corridor to our room. Besides that, the hotel had this security feature: the lights could sense motion and would light up on its own. So it was rather freaky la! Especially when we went back to the room late at night. Haha, even manly was quite scared! And he was really funny. By the way, manly = gaby tan! I dun want to be so bad la....so i'll just leave out the gaby manly story ;P
The next day was about the same. We cross the Charles' bridge to the old town to visit the St. Vitus Cathedral. It was this really huge and imposing building, which gargoyles all over and spiky tops. And it was dark brown/grey/black. Lol, even my sister said she was quite startled when she saw the pics I took of it (I'll upload my pics sometime soon!). So it was another rather tiring day of sightseeing...accompanied with practice. Haiz, the practices didn't seem that good...toh was angry (as usual I suppose) with everything and so on. Yeah, but we were quite used to it already. Oh yes, if you do go to a supermarket there, you can find this 2 litre bottle of "cola". It costs 35 cents sing, but it tastes nothing like cola. lol, at least we didn't waste our money. And Fanta there tastes absolutely great! In such cold weather, it was extremely nice to drink!!! So sad singapore no fanta. Haha, kialiang and weiren are crazy over it. Also on this day, Jong's nose bled, and he claims it was not because of the hot wine we drank. lol...
The next day, we departed prague for Cesky Krumlov, a small city in Czech. It is this really beautiful city, which I will elaborate on later. Anyway, when we reached there, the description of our hotel in our tour booklet never seemed like anything which we experienced. It was called Hotal Vltava, and supposedly it should be surrounded by beautiful meadows and a forest. We could only find a carpark and grass around it. Haha, anyway, the trout there tastes deeee-licious! It is really fresh and savoury, but must be careful of the manymany bones in it. Still, we had a wonderful lunch. Thnx to manly, bobo, and yisheng for trying it with me! So well, I didn't follow the group out for sightseeing because we could see the same things the next day..and I was feeling kinda tired. So a handful of us stayed back at the hotel to rest while the rest went out. Watched this cool show on MTV (and it's in English!!!) called pimp my ride. They transformed this car which was totally wrecked into a very nice car with all the gadgets like extending hammocks that came out from the back of the car etc. Aftr that I slept, until it was time to assemble downstairs with the rest of the group to have dinner. After that was practice again. Still wasn't that great. Guess we hadn't exactly got back on track yet...or maybe we were just tired, I don't know. Either way, we couldn't concentrate that much because in the next room, there were many many men watching television, and they were shouting and smoking (must be like soccer match) throughout the whole nite. Worse still, both rooms were connected, so we could hear them, AND smell the smoke. ===> unproductive practice.
The next day was 6th Dec, wednesday. Arghs, too tired liao, guess i'll continue some other time. sry! gna conk off liao. byebye
i'm back
iccpwnsj00
Infocomm Club Camp is over, and it was great. The friendship, fun and enjoyment, and CS: Condition Zero (=
1st day: ice breakers, programming session, trip to rgs for d&t course, bit of lan
2nd day:do some work, d&t course, war games, dino workshop at science centre (3d modelling and animation)
3rd day:hike, programming session
4th day: autodesk inventor 3d session, photoshop session, webpage design session.
that was the schedule for the sec 1s and 2s. As for us, stuff like programming which we weren't incharge of...= lanning! Yeah, and photoshop session was quite fun although very last minute. We used the liangzz and the weijian's photos as teaching material. Haha, and all the sec 1s and 2s messed up their faces totally, except for a few. weijian was gng arnd repeatedly saying," rather screwed". lol
though there were some bumps and obstacles during the camp, like screwing the sec 1s and 2s for unappropriate behaviour during the hike (i suppose they were tired already aftr at least 9km), we still did at least 5 times the punishment they received. And also to *hmmm*. I don't wanna mention la, but yeah, hope things change for the better.
houyes, and the dinners together were vry fun. lumhui, n bongzzz, n fnb, and everyone else, we had fun jaiing along the way haha.
so yes, the camp did rock. Haiz, aftr that (and also before), hardcore prac, + all the other stuff I have to do. Well, have to get back to work bleh. goodbye
*i may move my blog soon to another website.
%()*#^$)@*^)_
Yes, once again...hols are just as packed as usual. Yucks, it's disgusting, but must really need to prepare for the worst. But will still find time to go out. Haha, let's go call all the 12 ppl and more, and we shall crash the cinema (and throw popcorn and dunno do wad other crappy stuff yay). At least this can be an outlet. The other is.....obvious la. Dota and chatting! (=
Finally, exams are over! Gone, and will never come back to haunt me (I guess). Got respectable scores, with only Chinese @ 3.2. Haiz...but still got 4.0s (= Yeah, after this there will be NO MORE talking bout exams (TITRATION WAS BURNT!!! woohoo! We all observed the very impt ceremony conducted by a very impt person haha).
Still have lots of stuff in my mind, although you can still see me smiling. Well, shall keep things short and sweet for now. btw NO sebby I say now I do not want to have a big part to play in wdv band, cuz I'm sure confirm will pangseh xD haha sry la got lots and lots of stuff to do.
These days
It's been rather fun these days. Results are decent, can play and slack around, and eat and laze and be a sloth...Yes, and of course, go out with friends to lan and watch movies.
But sometimes, while having fun and the time of your life, everything seems trivial and pointless. I'm not sure la, but I feel that life is very sian...a kind of routine of sorts. Maybe it's just me and the way I look at it, but well, fact still remains that everything is getting very insignificant.
Read up on this guy called John Titor few days ago. Very interesting guy, he claims to be a time travellor from the year 2036, and also predicts that there would be a nuclear war by 2015. We'll just all wait and see. But it'll be good to see him come back and visit us again (or maybe he's just a haox). But do read up about him (=
Hmm, I do think all the going out all of a sudden has made me like that. Tired! I need some rest and slow down my life a lot, then I'll probably notice things I've never seen before, like the faces on the MRT train and the shoes people wear.
Anyway, I still do enjoy myself more than before CTs (I'm sure everybody is), but sadly, everything's gonna get more and more intense towards the hols. I think I'll CONFIRM be fully unavailable for at least 2/3 of the hols. Maybe that's what's making me seem so uptight.
Besides that, I've been hearing a lot about people wishing to die because they want to see less, so maybe life would be happier and more meaningful to them during their stay on earth. And those many many soap operas on TV everybody likes are not doing any good too. Add that to what's happening around the world, and Singapore in the future (i.e us going into society), and there you have it, a mind struggling to keep happy and healthy in the myriad of depressing things. Haha, thank God for keeping me rather steady for most of them time, and to everyone else too.
We should all go out more and be happy together lol (= Movie on monday please...I can't go bowling anymore got some last-minute prac in the aftrnoon. sian ar...
Post-CT
Monday's interclass soccer was not bad (=
Played better than expected, and even had a chance to get through if opp hadn't scored in the last few seconds. Well, good job to everyone, and hopefully P,T, or R will win (yes, and btw I'm still injured...)
I'm not sure how to begin...
Ok nvm, here goes. I do think the school is rather messed up and...inflexible? Well, the post CT activities (like today), are quite pointless (for many people). We sit and "listen" to talks for the whole day, and we learn nothing much, honestly. So why not do something more productive like giving us a day off like other schools?
Hmph, I think I'll just stop here for now. If I go on then I'll risk receiving all the crap from wadeva, saying that It's not true blah blah. Fact is, they think it is all not true, or believe it to be so... when it very well is. I'm not sure whether the problem lies with them or us or Singapore, but it is a deep-rooted problem, sometimes I'm not even sure what it is.
Anyway, tmr we're getting back our papers. Good luck to everyone (=
Yay
We've all been through the CTs,
And now it's time to play! (=
Went to vivo on fri to watch movie with friends.
Marina Square (I think it's this one, the one besides the Esplanade) on Sat with my family.
Lan @ douby ghout (dunno how to spell) on sun with church friends.
Inter-class soccer on mon. Then aftr that go Kartik's house for slpover (play soccer + more soccer on xbox later on).
Yes, it's been very very tiring but fulfilling and enjoyable. Enjoy while we all still can
Soon-to-be
5 papers down, 3 more to go! And I'm blogging...
Well, the CTs have been rather OKAY so far, not too good, neither is it that bad, just average. Life used to be rather boring, it still is. But I will be treasuring the week after CTs, where there isn't any CCA at all. After that it's hardcore practice with wadeva crap...
So well, what am I supposed to blog about. Hmph...let's talk about nothing. See, I have this emptiness in my mind, void of any kind of enjoyable thoughts (as I deem it to be), and it is rather frustrating. Right now, physics equations, chinese idioms, memorized phrases, and what not are clogging up my mind, pushing out all the happy thoughts I used to have. The prospect of what is gonna come after CTs are quickening the process too, sadly.
Maybe it's called stress, or depression, or just a deteriorating me. I'll see what I can do about it though. In the mean time, it's a lovely hazy afternoon to stay home and mug. So well, good luck everyone (=

=((
1 week and 4 more days to CT, which starts on friday the 13th coincidentally.
The good news: Freedom (after CTs) are coming soon! That means going out more (finally....), and playing more!
The bad news: All these privileges that come after CTs have to be cancelled out due to other commitments, and yes, they are important ones (sigh...).
Anyway, school was very tiring today. First lesson PE...floorball again. Then eng debates, then chinese. After chinese my whole body felt like shutting down (owing to the fact that I slept rly late last nite, and also due to the lessons and activities today). Yes that's true, I even stoned at the dining hall while eating. Didn't even have the motivation to talk or laugh (!!!).
Worse still, we had double chem aftr recess. zzzzz... Needless to say, almost everyone was either sleeping or talking and wadeva. 2 hours of chem can kill, seriously. That's not all, chem tchr told us about half the class failed the A&B test (of which i barely passed, LUCKILY). And he was like, is it something wrong with me or you guys. I thought he almost broke down there; hmph, or maybe I was just seeing things. But well, I need to go for some Chem remedial man. If not my Chem grades will just go down the drain (maybe like a 0.8 or 1.2 drop of my GPA from last term).
Yes, I didn't even feel like going for lunch. Just lazed around trying to keep my mind focused (which I failed to do). Haiz, gotta admit this has been 1 of my most depressing and tiring days in school. So well, physics test after lunch -.- Things just keep getting worse. Well, threw away rly easy marks, which means I will only get 70% damnit. I couldn't concentrate at all...
So, after that, went home. And guess what, chinese tution teacher was already waiting for me. Now that CTs are comin closer, I've got more chin. tution. Wonderful. So yeah, as expected, I just stoned, and passed in and out of sleep. Haha. I tried my best to stay awake! I'm still trying to, with some work I gotta complete tonight.
Hmph, a good way to explain all this: I'm falling sick. I should think so (= That means early nights for a few days. I cannnot fall ill during Pre-CT period! Hopefully God will be on my side haha.
Yikes. Aside from academic stuff there's so much more to worry about =( . Doesn't life suck.
This boy
John was on the train on his way back home. He had just finished supper with some of his good friends, and he was feeling warm and cosy on the inside after that well spent time with his friends, even though the carriage was empty and cold.
Or so he thought. Little did he notice a little boy sitting opposite him, quietly and in fact rather calmly eventhough he too, was all by himself at such a time.
"Are you real at all young boy?" asked John, as he thought he was seeing things.
The little boy ran across towards him, and jumped onto his lap.
John was taken aback. If he was real, then what was he be doing on the train all by himself at such a time?
"Hey kid, where's your mum?" John asked curiously. The little boy did not answer but pointed upwards, looking longingly at the ceiling of the carriage; or rather, looking through it, towards the dark and sinister sky. Beyond that, the heavens.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know...then where's your dad?" John asked again. Again, the little boy did not answer, but pointed towards the floor of the carriage, a sparkling tear rolling down his rosy and chubby cheek.
John instinctively gave the little boy a tight hug, one of compassion and pity, and poured into the sad little boy all the love he could offer. This hug surpassed any other hug he had given to any other person, even including his wife.
After that intense moment, John finally pulled back and looked into the little boy's eyes. He saw through those innocent eyes a depressed soul, tormented and totured. Yet, his appearance contradicted what was actually deep in him.
Then, the little boy pointed to his stomache. John nodded, treating the little boy as if it was his child. They got off the train together, the little boy on John's broad shoulders, and both of them glided down the escalator gleefully.

People! Whoever out there that reads this: Jon Leong sings better than Hady! But you have to admit that Hady has better stage presence...and maybe that's what's so important if one wants to be an idol.
Either way, Hady screams so much such that he goes out off tune quite frequently. And still, Taufik > Hady. So why not add a little diversity and let Jon Leong win? So that we'll have two different people that have very different singing styles, instead of a Taufik, and another Taufik-spoof that's not as good as Taufik himself?
Jon Leong still has heart, at least. He'll be the next coldplay hopefully.
___________________________________________________________________
Indoor stadium rocks! Yeah, went to watch SI Finals (Performance show); thnx to my dad for the free tickets! And Gurmit was good (=
It was a good show, with the two sets of emcees (and 1 of them fell off the stage, sprained his ankle, and spoilt the mic). Full of shouting and cheering, something that I haven't heard and seen in a long time (I don't follow SI THAT closely. And I'm usually in a rather peaceful environment). Well, good to take a break.
___________________________________________________________________
Good luck to everyone who have eoys coming up.
I can't understand why our school has to have it so late...give us less time to play. But well, being forgetful as usual, I have suddenly realised that life is going to be just as stressful after eoys. Well, I don't have a choice do I?
As usual, busy with the usual load of work and stuff. More tests, more projects. Hope everyone pulls through too (=
___________________________________________________________________
Does it really matter if I know you well? You hide behind walls, blend into the shadows, run at the slightest disturbance. But I have this little torch in my hand. It's a puny one, black as the darkest of nights (xD) with a tiny red button to switch it on and off. Small as it may seem, it was dear to me, extremely in fact. It was my only beacon of light, my lifeline, all my hope depended on this weak beam of light.
Finding this needle in a haystack was a pain in the neck. I was weary, and my hand ached too. Then a faint knock. It came from somewhere on my left. I shifted the sweat-coated torchlight and panned it around, straining my eyes to see any form of movement. Vaguely, I could spot a shadow in the shadow of a huge trash dump. Were my eyes playing tricks on me? I stared harder. It was not out of anger that I did it, it was not out of the hurt I had been through that I made this decision, neither was it out of my heart. I had grown cold in this lifeless world, feelings had no more significance. All I wanted to do was to find you and bring you home.
I did it. And no you were not there. I had my hopes high moments ago, but now this balloon was deflated and flying away. Yet no matter what, I will continue finding you till my torchlight wears out. Maybe when there's no more light you'll come to hide in my shadow.
The Weird Life
He has been good to me. Thank you so much (=
After so much pain and suffering, I now find peace at my doorstep, and I grab the opportunity.
Life has become good, after a period of toture and struggling, a time of loss and depression. And all this has turned into a new beginning; this will be a time of success (= [hopefully la!]
Got back quite a few papers...and did relatively well for all! (better than last semester). Just a few more weeks to freedom man...after that yet another obstacle. Haiz, the obstacles never change. They remain at the same position, and each round I run I face the same obstacles. When will this end? Or at least give me water break first?!!
School has been okay this week. Except for the fact that we had 4 tests [2 were CCTs]. And this wk amazingly; I didn't play soccer! Too tired, or just don't want to play, I'm not sure. But must start to exercise soon (=
Anyway, people around me are starting to feel the stress of life. Besides work, things like finding their ownself, acceptance of failure, finding out about their love life and many more....are starting to creep into everyone's lives. Well, one can say it's part of life, but we all take it differently, don't we? Those who have failed before are more comfortable with failure, those who have experienced love, and losing it, are immune to break ups. Yet, there are those who have no experience. And for these people who may be struggling trying to get on with life, just a bit of motivation to spur you on.
Once you have been through all these setbacks and struggles you may start to have a new outlook on life; or a change of mindset.
Saturday 16th Sept
Bleh, I'm laggin again. Too lazy to blog damnit; I do admire those who can post rather long posts on the same day itself, and are consistent about it. (=
Anyway, today's about Sat, and today, yeah. Saturday was a packed day. Morning had cca from 8am - 12.30pm (prac is finally gonna stop aftr this wed). I'm not sure how we are getting along though. Seems like the songs we are depending on are not that solid yet. Still, there has been some progress, and we all really do hope that some day results will show. Maybe miraculously haha. But the songs are difficult man...Technically and intepretation-wise. Yet they still sound nice houyes. Also, I'm really looking forward to next year, where our batch will push for a lot more stuff and demand more say and influence in cca matters (=
Haiz, had lunch @ J8 foodcourt. We went there as a big group, but in the end due to the lack of space we all had to split up. And red beanie was there haha, to meet Mr. prefect xD Hope they had a good time together lalala.
Went back @ 2+. Had chin. tution @ 3. How tiring...but got get my homework done with the help of the teacher (yep, this teacher is good and very experienced!)
Hmph, finally. A bit of time for some rest and relaxation and forty winks, with a dota game (or was it standard??). But anyway, time to leave again..off to Esplanade to watch Forbidden City!!! Yeah my mum rocks, she asked me to go and watch (= So went there with to have dinner with my mum's friend (and her daughter who was our friend too). Feasted at Carl's Jr. at Marina Bay. The food was good and filling!
Then went to buy a few impt stuff b4 heading off to esplanade. Haha, by the time we went in my sis' friends were all already seated...so early some more. Haiz, and they're just as crazy as our class (maybe not AS bad as that la but almost there). Crapped around a lot, and yes, we were making quite a ruckus, laughing and all.
Anyway, the show is GOOD! I'm not gonna say anything go watch for urself!!! Next up, SI finals, muahahaha..
Sch!
Yay. Sch reopen liao and everyone is just sian. Darn, woke up with a damn bad headache today...but I'm okay now at least (=
Well, RE periods are now replaced with lesson, so it's like 6 hrs of sch on monday. No more 3 hours of free period during RE anymore!!! =( Tues was okay. Had econs DMP in the afternoon which was damn fun. Got a lot of games and things to eat. I think if you go Ngee Ann Poly the classes will be like that! Ahh, how fun...
Wed was rather okay too la. We all are tired, but the lessons are all screwed up. Now that we got new teachers, our class is practically screwing around more than ever (for every single class la!). Even the guai ppl are starting to become screwed up, yes....even the teachers are becoming super lame and funny and wadeva! Yay. School will never be the same again with our new teachers! (so sad Soon gonna leave soon. Lol the lame pun that he uses on himself :P)
Choir prac are becomin more intensive as time draws nearer to that fated trip. Haiz, now Sat also got prac (4 hrs lor...besides mon and wed. That makes a total of 11 hrs of prac), but hopefully we will be satisfied with all the hard work put in.
Anyway. Today is thurs! Yay, no maths. The relief math teacher is....just boring. Like monotonous, and everything; and everyone always just say yes when she ask us whether we understand what she is saying (haha we just dun care at times). But today we had Eng 1st, which was uber slack. We did like almost nothing, though I found the article reading was quite useful. And we wasted the rest of the time voting for the stuff tt we are gonna debate on.
Had test during Chinese. Close + Compre. The compre was okay. But I hope I don't screw up my close.
After that was physics, which as usual was fun n interactive with soon's lameness. He now adopts the ability to imitate us. So like when we say, "gabriel so cute." or make weird noises he imitates them, which is really funny. Soon in a baby voice, "Gabriel so cute." Yes neo was being random also today when he kept making hardoghey noises after everything he said (yes and he did like fkuo's hand :P).
After recess was chem, which erm.....was okay lar. Nothing spectacular today. Btw he's evil, he doesn't want all of us to get A for Chem. Walao...
Finally, assembly. Dun wan to talk about it.
YES. MEP! I love MEP classes now. Because we got this new relief teacher and we are like WTFOMG.....cannot believe that we could mess around THIS much in class. Whoaaaa, it was extremely refreshing and fun. Haha, just keep crapping around until cannot take it liao. Even the teacher played along at times. Btw, we all scwitched names so she now thinks I'm li nan. yay, we even did hardoghey movements blatantly BEHIND HER during the short clip of some opera performance. Yay, then the rest of the time just laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.....until stomache pain liao. Then aftr that we met na on the way to the MRT.
Once again, TA owas on a high. Screaming and shouting along with na while we were like..wa crap. Now got 2 of them liao...haha. Kermit finally met her! And dng was too shocked to do anything. Yes, they talk damn loud and na is super random (so is TA how amusing. tsk tsk). Yay, not that much work now I shall take a break tonite.
Back to school
Okay, I'm happy now that I'm able to get back to school routine/ or hope so. But my body isn't willing and I'm having a bad cold *sniff*. Yikes.
On Friday and Saturday
Okay, here goes. I finally have a bit of time to blog. But i'll try to keep it to 10 minutes. Still got work to do!! =(
___________________________________________
Friday (8th Sept)
For once I felt awake, thanks to an early night and a thourough face wash in the morning. It was 7am in the morning, and I had to rush off to school for cca prac. So yeah, our section had 1 hour less of practice than all the other sections, but that does not mean we are more slack! Because I don't think anyone can concentrate well for 3 straight hours, and because we did have a productive session. There was a significant improvement after prac and I hope that this standard would not fall (=
Prac finished at 10am, and I took my time to get to Potong Pasir MRT (dunno what I was doing). Amazingly, I spent two hours getting from Bishan MRT to Potong Pasir MRT. The wonders of time-wasting...
Met the rest of the song writing comp ppl outside the MRT and waited for everyone to arrive. Haha, Quan Wei agreed that he was now a public nuisance :P Because I stuffed my drink into his back, then he threw the drink back at me, expecting me to catch it. But I didn't! I jumped away and the whole cup smashed onto the floor with a resounding crackle of ice spilling all over the floor. The MRT staff made him clean up every drop of water after that. Haiz, so suay...so I helped him out la! yay
Strolled all the way to SAJC to collect the prize money after that. Being blur as usual, Jorel and I didn't realise that J. Lim had already collected the money (the rest couldn't make it). So we stoned around the general office while everyone else collected their prizes. So silly... We didn't even realise that we didn't have the letter that was needed to collect the prizes lol. So anyway, being undecided as usual, everyone just stood outside the general office, no idea on what we should do next.
So finally, someone decided to say Lunch at Plaza Sing, and everyone, having no opinion whatsoever, just followed each other aimlessly all the way to ps. It was rather amusing to see everyone clueless. At ps, Steff suggested Swenson's, so again everyone moved to Swenson's, and stoned outside, because we did not know whether to eat at Thai Express or at Swenson's. Finally, taking the lead, Steff walked into Swenson's and so did everyone else (she wanted to eat this. And she claims to be daring enough to dance in public).
So yeah, ordered our food and interacted with each other, and we all finally decided to break the "inter-sch barrier" by talking to everyone else (and playing too). Had many fun and retarded games and conversations. And by the way, Jorel was being bullied by Chloe, which was super funny! Oh yes, to everyone (esp QW and Chloe), we must get together to play soccer the next time! Yepp, don't want to elaborate much on how stupid we all were at Swenson's. But thanks to everyone for coming, we did have a great time together.
Went home, and went out again later that night (Spent a lot on public transport today). Had dinner with my family @ Big "O". Although the food wasn't exeptional, the deserts were! Mudpies!!! Choc + more choc + more choc. It was very very yummy. And after that, we went to watch Monster House together. haha (= Rather interesting and amusing, and my dad wasn't that bored after all (I was laughing like mad at the beginning where they showed this cute little girl riding a bicycle. Couldn't believe my dad watched this kinda of stuff but he had no choice because we all wanted to watch! xD)
___________________________________________
Saturday (9th Sept)
Once again, woke up rather early to have breakfast with family before picking up my friends at yio chu kang for physics PT. We are more or less done with it (just a bit more), and Im happy that we've accomplished another piece of work. (= haha. So well, Choon went off first. Ajay and Ed stayed back to play xbox, and it was fun and funny. We just played football ( on xbox la) throughout the whole day (oh yes and watched batman LOL).
Ed went off b4 dinner, and Ajay stayed back to watch the Liv - Eve match which sadly was lost by Liv who had so many chances, but was rather crappy and slack (Benitez why did you play an injured Carragher!). Yes, we tried some cool stuff in the game and messed around yeah. It was enjoyable (=. Ajay's dad came at around 10pm+ to pick him up. And yes Ajay, if we train more we will become super pro whee.
___________________________________________
He was really tired, to the extent that his will could not even overcome this feeling even though he was mentally trained and physically strong. Those sagging eyebags, from the lack of sleep, made him look like a zombie, accompanied by the lethargic pose, ultimately made him lifeless. Totally.
He stood there, leaning heavily against the wall, head down, visibly crest-fallen. His arms were folded, exposing those bulging muscles that protruded from his arms. Yet, he still tried to stay awake. No, not tried to, he needed to. Wait, more likely, must do so. The consequences were dire if he succumbed to the charm of the sleepy atmosphere at night. It always beckoned him, pestered him to have his beauty sleep. Yet, though it seemed subtle and superficial at first, the charm was now growing stronger, while he was growing weaker.
He looked terrible, absolutely miserable, and he was afraid. Not so much of what he would face if he failed this mission, but rather, terrified by the unknown. He did not know much, all he knew was that he had to stay there, awake. It was a wonder, that such a colossal muscle-man like him did not know anything about what he was doing. Why? His actions were to satisfy someone else's purpose, and that someone did not want to let him know so soon.
Suddenly, there was a tap on the wall. Soft, yet startling at such a time, where everything should have been absolutely silent, as the past days and months were. He lowered his hand to the gun hidden in his black leather jacket, which had gathered much dust over the months and its days were well over. Again, that tapping sound. It was from somewhere above, and its identity was still unknown to him. Freaky, sure.
Suddenly, the man dropped down like a sack onto the floor. Nothing had come into contact with him. He just lay there, motionless, never to twitch another muscle again. The tapping stopped too. What a painful death. But nontheless, he still failed.
He is real, as we claim. Yet irrational to all of us.
On Sadness and Happiness
Once there was this farmer. With his divine touch, he gently placed the seed of life into the soil and nourished it with all his love and compassion. He smiled with each cm you grew, laughed at how you bent and squirmed about. You were tiny and fragile, but under his protective wing, he made you what you are and will be forever.
The lush green leaves that delicately stem from a stem (xD), with each passing dawn sweet drops of dew would form; for others to enjoy. They were beautiful, part of the perfect plan, and everyone else would admire at how it glided smoothly across the leaf and fall to the ground with a soft splash. These leaves were your rice bowl, they created food from the rays of sunlight that shine down each day, they were what made you so pure and natural too.
Then your stem, which was your foundation and backbone. It was something you could rely on for support, something that would never waver even under trememdous pressure unlike other plants. Yes, you were strong, so very strong that even the wind and rain could not leave a mark on you. Yet in all its sturdiness, your stem was still flexible. It could bend towards the much needed sunlight, or anywhere else that you chose to. This stem was green as that of a lime, bright and outstanding, a fresh and healthy green pigment.
Not forgetting, hidden under the ground, roots of wisdom and strength, those that gave support to your stem. They invaded the ground, with patience and peseverance, pushing through the soil to cover more area. They were deep-rooted, wide-spread, and still expanding. Your presence could not only be seen above the ground, but also felt under the soil. Many knew the depth of your roots, the immense size of it all, absorbing the water that lay undisturbed before you came. It was colossal, and it was widely known and respected, only second to few.
Last but not least, and most amazing of all, the flowers and fruits that you grew. They were of high quality, always ripe when it needed to, sweet at the right time, and always enjoyed by the busy insects that scuttle around timidly to enjoy nature's wonders. Not only to the insects, but to all humans that could smell your fragrance and stare with awe at the stunning colours of your flowers. Many wondered how this was all possible, how could a such a perfect plant be placed on such a place?
Then one fine day, the farmer walked past this plant, and realised your beauty and grace. He too came to understand that you had reached a new standard, you were already so well developed, and you were something that surpassed that of many other plants that he had come across in his years as an experienced garderner. He treasured you, and it struck him that this was no place for such an awesome plant. You had worked so hard, and now it was time to bring you to a safe and enjoyable place, free from temptation and competition. So, he finally uprooted you and placed you in a pot inside his home. Now you bring happiness to him every single time he comes across you, and I'm sure that you enjoy it too. Ther perfection of it all...
The only drawback was that you left a gaping hole in the soil, and in all our hearts.

On thursday night, after choir prac, which was enjoyable at time and not at other times, I finally made my way to Novena Square. I had expected it to happen, and yes it did. Choir practice ended late and I did not get to say hi or bye to the YO people. So sry to all those, and to the others who had to wait for me!
Well, rushed all the way there, rushed to takeaway my dinner, rushed to my friend's dad's car, and we went all the way back to Bishan to my friend's house -.- Yeah, thanks for making me rush all the way there and waste 45 cents when your house was 10 min away from school (where I came from). Haha, but anyway, we still did have fun, being the usual crappy and retarded people we were.
So we went to our friend's house, which was huge!! With a steinway baby grand, 50 inch TV? A humongous fish tank, a cello + violin + many many musical materials + a big family +++
Why you got so much stuff?! Bleh, so yeah, TA was suaning everyone playing the piano (charles and I played too), while pan stoned arnd cuz there was no double bass for him to play. Hah, Yeah na played the violin and Sherm too was stoning arnd. But yeah we talked a lot, probably disturbed everyone in the neighbourhood, and yeah...but we did have a great time. Thnx to whoever that organised it! Sadly, quite a number of people couldn't make it, due to exams, other commiments etc. Next time we must ensure that more people would come.
Okay, I'm tired now. Shall con't on another fun experience today (friday) when I feel like it.

Hols & I
Sry people. I haven't been blogging for quite a long time. Next time I'll start having more pics too (= But I'm Gonna Add a music player very soon.
Hmph, so now the hols have start. Been out for most of Sat and Sun, and I've been to lazy/tired to blog bout both days haha. So what does the holidays mean to me? A time of relaxation and peace? No way...with all the stuff I, and probably everyone else, have to do, It'll be a rather tough week, especially with the "hols" mindset, where you don't want to do any work and just play and laze around and sleep and what else.
Anyway, this is a short holiday. But well, now that there is less school, I want to get out, go somewhere else, besides home and my 2nd home, school. Seriously, to come to think of it, we have spent countless hours couped up at home mugging and doing work. If we're not at home, then we'll probably be at school with cca and such. I don't know what motivates all of us, what drives us to carry out this routine almost on a daily basis.
So, well, already booked for thurs and fri (= But hey, for the countless hours we have all spent doing work (and probably more with holiday homework), we should deserve more than this meagre "treat". Hmph, dun feel like writing anymore...vry sian..
*Playlist -->
1st four songs were sung by us in last yrs overseas comp
Last 2 songs will be sung for this yr's comp.
Pls give me feedback haha.
teacher's day!
Today was teacher's day celebrations. Went school early, and slept in class (we usually leave all the lights off in the morning and just SLEEP!). So yeah, lazed arnd and talked a bit. Gd tt most of us are lookin forward to the hols n are not so pessimistic, including me! how wonderfull. At least we know it's the start of the holidays, and the huge pile of work will only start to bother us arnd the mid week of the hols. Amazing how a holiday does wonders when it's more or less the same as a normal school week because of the work and cca and all that...
Anyway, thnx to KC and M. Neo and KC's mb friend and whoever eles for lending our band a drumset, and also for helping me set up so early!! Haha, so sry I didn't help was sleeping in class. haiz. So anyway, we had the sec 3 teachers seatin @ the back of the JB atrium, and the students on the floor. The first item was some video of the teachers, which was quite amusing because they had this repetitive section showcasing Mr. Mag owning everyone in soccer @ the astroturf, which was hilarious! But gr8 job to the developers of the clip.
Then had some T-shirt presentation thing to the teachers. Aftr that was some funny funky dance (played to the music of "I like to move it"). Everyone stood up, and stoned while the music was being played. Then 2 guys randomly ran to the front and started doing HARDOGHEY actions!!! In front of the whole cohort and the TEACHERS! Luckily I don't think the teachers saw because they were blocked out by the students. But like...wth la. Hardgay on teacher's day. omgomgomg...
So after that, it was the song dedication part. Had de bu dao de ai 1st, with jorel as lead singer in quan wei's place. He sounded way too 'choirish', and had no resemblance to jay chou's voice but whatsoever. But gd try! btw jorel learnt the song last nite haha. Then it was us: dian nao you xi. Haha, we just spammed and spammed. I must get the vid asap then can send to everyone whee!
Then the audience called for encore!!! haha cuz it's rather retarded n crazy but NICE. So louis went on first with the 1st eng song haha. The only eng song out of a total of 4 (the rest were chinese). So the malay teachers were stoning around. so sad...
So finally. We got J. Lim out to sing his new composition: LING YONG QIAN. we sang along while he played beautifully on the piano. the song was even more retarded than dian nao you xi....so the audience was roaring with laughter and so were all of us while singing. hahahaha, anyway, at least we had a good time (=
(I shall skip this part just in case 'someone' that reads this will KILL some other people). haha, so sry to trouble you all k??? But thnx a lot you all rly been a great help (if you know who you are). So after that we stoned around @ J8. Went yoshi for lunch b4 MEP DMP, which was @ the soundberg recording studio that was uber nice and professional and wtf DAMN COOL...it was the best recording studio in singapore according to our trainer (for the DMP course). So we explored the place, and the drumset there was unbelievable. Costumized and totally miked up. Was damn ownage.....
So after that, I went home with Dng and we just realised WE LIVE SO NEAR EACH OTHER!!! For 3 years we did not realise that -.-!!! haha, then dng, who was high on the bus back to sch (btw all of us were high on the way there and back), was laughing like crap when my mum came to give him a ride back to his house (cuz it was raining, Again...). He was amused with this toy chick in the car and it was super funny, cuz he kept laughing, and laughing.... and dunno do what else (like immitating the chaiyeow thing). So when he got off my mum was like, whoa, that's really crazy. HA! Anyway, Dng don't ever quit MEP cuz we need you in class (=
yay, gd to hear that now with the hols things, AND people, are brightening up. whee
Heyy (=
Today is a holiday. How enjoyable....to wake up in the morning and go to school -.-
Ahh, well, had to prac for teacher's day performance tmr, which was quite screwed up cuz we couldn't get the CO drumset, and everybody kept going out of rhythm. The acousticss was also screwed up, vol balance etc. Yeah, more or less unfruitful prac. BUT at least we know how to adjust things for tmr (=
Went to lunch @ pastamania with yanni, gabby, jorel, n leonard @ J8. We shared 2 10 inch pizzas, which was quite worth it cuz each person had to pay only $4. I sponsored the drinks!!! From NTUC, 1.5L chilled drink for $1.90 hahaha. But well, enough for all of us. So we slacked around and wasted quite a bit of time (all of us had time to kill). We had lunch for almost an hour!! B4 jorel n me left; the rest went back 2 sch. Jorel n me took the train towards jurong east, and i got off @ ang mo kio (which was 1 stop only...for 45 cents).
The sky darkened, accompanied with god's wrath xD. Yeah, and I ran through the rain n thunder towards the bus stop because I saw the bus coming, and it drove past....So well, had to wait another 10 min+ b4 the next bus came. And when it did, it was already 1.45pm. I thought I was late by then.
And i didn't realise takin 73 to rosyth sch was so fast!! @ most 10 min reach already. Yay, at least I wasn't That late. Well, so I went to the coffeeshop to grab a bite and wait for people. And waited, and waited...until tiankai came (= Then, we went to rosyth together (btw i took the long way thru the HDB flats cuz I was early. TK took the short and direct route towards sch, and was totally drenched). So yeah, more waiting. We walked around the school, said hi to the canteen uncle, stoned around, waited for more people. And the new principal...argh, how stupid. Same announcement was made 4 times over the PA system telling all ex-rosythians to stay in the IBC and not wander around school...
Then theng came, in a car! So lucky....ahaha. He just finished training (= So the 3 of us cont waiting. After that nick eng and wee keat came along. Then....the gals AND japheth. Finally, tze heng WITH wee seng. lol...We took a bit of time talking to the teachers etc. until we all finally decided to zao and go to the coffeeshop outside sch to eat. theng, jappy, tk, weekeat, tzeheng, nickeng n me shared $4 worth of fries, which tasted as good as it used to be. TK had his own meal aftr tt (btw wee seng left early. he couldnt stand us. shoo!). Then we started discussing bout the chalet, and theng smsed evelynfoo (which he called jie for some strange reason. eve said it's cuz she's older than him but I believe there's some other reason ;P) to discuss cuz they were seating somewhere else.
So aftr discussing @ our side, theng n me went over...finally. and stacey told us we took 6 min...haiz. Let us have our time together first okay (just the boys)! =) So we started discusing, and weekeat, tzeheng, and nickeng didnt want to come over so they left. tk and jappy joined us a bit later. Whoa, new faces appeared, some I would never recognise as my ex-classmate! The boys didn't change much (except in size), but most of the gals changed until I had no idea who they were. oops xD forgive me I don't have a good memory, cnt match you to the faces of the past.
Evelynfoo: Didn't change that much, except stronger. (gal y do u look so sad???)
Eileentay: Bout the same too, bit more mature.
Josephine: Slight difference, just a scaled up version of last time.
Staceyannefernandez: quite a bit. new hair, face still about the same though.
Tamilai: new hair, face changed a lot. More muscular? haha. I should think so.
Denise: Whole New Person!!
So well, at least I get to see how we've all grown over the past 3 yrs. So yeah, talked for a long time...Because, some people called mingmei to come, and the boys wanted to see how she looked like. Heh, rumours that she was stronger than TK. Smth that needed to be seen, or disproved.
So well, People! We are most likely gonna have a 1 day outing. Movie, BBQ, etc. during the Dec hols, probably the week b4 x'mas. Besides that, talked about school, each other, others, more crap. haha...
eileen, josephine, denise went back first, as we awaited the arrival of the one! My mum n sis came to the same coffeeshop too! Sadly, they waved to me while I wasn't looking. and vice versa for me. yikes! wad a sad coincidence. So well, we sat for almost 3 hrs!! Talking n doing stuff. Btw, jappy felt bored and went home and came back twice. And that got him high. LOL. Either way we all couldn't go home cuz it was raining cats n dogs. So, we had no choice but to talk more! haiz. But yeah, I did have a good time to see old friends (=
And people, Ming Mei is not what you think. She looks the SAME, just with more meat on. But no way stronger than TK (I think so...). But well, we'll see when they do arm wrestle with each other HAHA! (=
ok need to sleep for teacher's day performance tmr (today already. it's past 12). Hope to see you all soon. Just keep in touch. everyone. I don't like the feeling of losing a friend!
this is reality.
Damnit, my life is just so totally messed up I can just....sigh...you could say I've been rather depressed over the past few weeks/months. I do appear normal and happy in school and all that, but I'm just not satisfied with reality. The things that happen, totally unexpected and uncalled for. You could say I just need to get used to it. Used to how society works.
As someone told me, all this should be left behind...someday, some divine interventention would make all the pieces fit together. I'm really looking forward and praying hard for that day.
So well, about the visit to Rosyth...many people can't make it. Likewise for our class outing and MEP orch gathering. Yikes, this is so saddening. But i'll see what I can do.
*Need to get myself back on track (= I've sidetracked, and I dunno where I am!
Mask
You wear one. So do I. We all love masks, they hide us, protect us? Well, sort of, people see your mask, I want to see beneath it. What is really behind this mask? It it really the person I knew, or at least thought so?
This needs careful consideration, ya. I need...pliers of trust, a screwdriver of fate, and a drill of destiny, and you, whoever you are. I want to see your face, and I will seek it. Knock and it shall be answered. I do agree somehow.
And then, you'll have a time of your life. I'll nourish you with bountiful happiness, feed you with heaps of joy and what not. I don't know, but I feel like making some people feel happy, including myself.
Or, you could just take of that mask yourself and show yourself. Courageous one.
Run to the lord, not away. He will provide for you! The wonderful truth will be known to you too.
Hmph, I don't know what's going on. Just a thought that's quite hard to explain with mere words.
Mixed feelings
In the midst of all my piles of homework, I find joy in the fact that we are finally gonna showcase dian nao you xi to the whole school LOL. It'll be funny but enjoyable. Argh, finally finished chem DMP assignment, still gotta mug for the chem test. bleh...crap la! Physics test nxt week, maths PT, chem PT, plus so many extra seminars + classes + esp. AGM prep. Life is uber sian...
You're Beautiful - Random thing to take my attention away from work
I saw you lying on the desk, arms folded, eyes closed. You were sound asleep, adorable lamb. That innocent look in you, unaware of life's dangers, unfazed by life's challenges. In that innocence I saw strength and boldness. Yet you still seemed so dear, dainty, something that could be carried away by a light breeze. I don't know. But it was still an adorable sight.
I wish I were the one. Unknown to reality yet, deep in my slumber, in my own world. I would have liked to stay like that forever, or relax in some other remote place in the world. Nevertheless, you're still the one soundly asleep, and I'll pat you to sleep if you ever wake up. Don't fret. I know your life is like a dog, like mine. You work and slog through the week, the signs are apparent on your face. Yet, they still disappear when you are there. Where? I do not know. I don't care. You still look ever so beautiful, even with all that scars, physical and emotional. What else can I say. I want to enter your world, and I will now. Goodnight.
things.
sigh. work comes load after load. with upcomin AGM even worse...dangit. I dunno...I've been withstanding wave after wave since June. I'm growin stronger after each test, yet weakening too. Soon, without so much as a good break, I'll finally succumb to that final gush, and I'll be swept away, away, away....
but thnx to dmp, a timely bit of aid at such a time (=
Stuff to do:
Maths PT
Chem DMP
Chem PT
Phy PT
AGM prep: cert + song
New meaning...
It was that spark of inspiration, out of the blues and totally random. How intriguing! Something so full of meaning can actually suddenly pop up in front of your face out of nowhere. Maybe it was god given (which I believe to be) that came in an earthly form (a dream?), or maybe it just sprang out from weeks of brainstorming.
But well, at least I know now and can justify it. Yes, true love DOES exist. By saying this I do not mean love like in trivial BGRs, something strangely I am not affected by up till this age. You could call that biological, but I wish to believe that it was gift; and I can concentrate on my studies! (=
Pure true love is similiar to Jesus dying on the cross for us, which HAS occured on Earth! And yes, smiliar acts of sacrifice have also been carried out on earth before. E.g. motherly love can cause mum to sacrifice her life for her child. I find it awesome that such things can actually happen, on such a place as Earth! And I choose to believe that both Jesus's and a mother's sacrifices are equally great, just that Jesus' one is much much more powerful, a purer form of true love.
Besides that, I also do believe that every single person on Earth has this value in him or her. This gift was breathed into us by the lord before we were born, and it is through his love that we are and were created (this confirm's TA's point of view that creation is the concept of love). But, it is dormant in us, awaiting us to warmly receive it and open our doors to let it into our bodies. It is something that must be discovered, and I believe people who have eaten more salt than us would have already found it (Parents in the most trying situations still treasure this value dearly).
However, this value can be skewed, bent in the wrong way, such that it becomes wrong, or even a sin. People like terrorists love their God so much that they are willing to sacrifice their lives. By my definition doesn't that count as true love? This is a counter example which I would like to clarify. In the first place, sacrifice means dying for the sake of everyone else. By killing yourself, ALONG WITH other lives, this does NOT count as sacrifice.
So yeah, that's about it. Remember, the value of true love is within you. Someday, just like how this bright spark appeared, it will ring like an alarm in your head. That will be the right time to readily accept it, nature's way of saying that you are growing close to afterlife. Before that, try to discover it in you, and await its calling. Yet, be wary of how it can be abused, and I strongly believe that by using the Bible as a benchmark you will not go astray.
p.s. this is a raw form of my intepretation of true love, which maybe refined when I come around to do so.

Haiz, the judges didnt like our screwed up performance though )= The guitar overwhelmed the singing, and the pedal for the bass drum broke 10 bars into the song. How sad...but anyway, we still had a great time together. (= hope all those others did too. We all tried our best.

Lead the way,
Dear child.
Don't bother about them.
For if you do,
The leaves will rustle,
The skies show their fury.
Don't be afraid,
Dear child.
For if you do,
Those green monsters will,
Those that terrify your slumber.
Come hear,
Listen to me,
Heed my word.
Heart-spoken advice.
Those trees swaying,
The land shaking,
Mocking at you.
Your soul in fits.
Soothingly peaceful,
Oh that silent thundering voice.
You need to rest,
Rest you must!
Don't be afraid,
Dear Child.
For if you do,
I will find you,
And punish you hard.
Your soul be healed,
I claim in Jesus' name.
For all you weary people out there like me; just a little thought to motivate you all through your struggles. And it's peaceful here, in the school library =D
Bleh...

Maybe it's because I'm not doing work tonite. A good time to take a snapshot of my own life as it speeds past.
13th Aug 2006
C. Fung n J. sei (dunno whether it's spelt like that) came for cell today. Brought by tat wai the gay (i'll explain why later). So yeah, we had yet another indepth lesson about how the Bible came about. Better than most of the Luke ones we did =D. Haha but J. Sei being totally new to all this christian thingy was at a total lost, so...he went back to church early with tat wai. Anyway, after that, we went back to church. Brought C. Fung arnd for a lil' tour, n he's a nice guy, DuN gEt fOoLeD bY hIs ApPeArAnCe okay...haha cuz he's so big n strong n he's a rugger etc. but he's still cool =D. So yeah, we finally ended up in the lvl 3 hall, where we usually have our youth services, and voila, we saw the gay: tat wai xD. HAHAHAHA, up till now I still can't get over it! He was supposed to be a model for some catwalk thingy, and he was dressed in retro clothes: Bell bottom jeans, a beige n white striped shirt, and some brownish translucent shades. And worst of all, he tucked in his shirt until very tight and pulled his pants up. Sigh, I pity retro fashion...
So, already lookin so funny, he carried forth his performance by sticking out his chest while doing the catwalk, and did some kawaii crap (totally out of place), with some other cool retros moves that didn't fit his look at all!!! Arrr, was uber funnny. We were all laughing at the back like crap. So yeah, tts y he was THE GAY this morning ;P. So after that, had another long-winded sermon, as usual...and yeah, beating-around-the-bush kinda stuff, but it was super funny, and also a bit shocking, even C. Fung and me were like, "wtf..." and J. Sei was telling me, "I bet he rapcens towh (rearrange the letters yourself xD)." Because, he was talkin bout dressin as a christian, then he was showing us non-examples, and he was saying, "I had a hard time, because while searching for mini skirt on the net porn stuff appeared too....", and later on "I know, but guys get turned on by..." OMG, a pastor preachin like that. So yeah, it was a bit queer to sit there n listen.
Yay, I nid to finish a bit more work (sigh). Argh, now's DMP, and we still got so many performance tasks...so crappy, but at least I have fewer lessons YAY. And...Dian Nao You Xi thing (the finals) IS THIS FRIDAY!!! Hopefully we can win smth. People who want to support us; it's at SAJC Cultural Centre, 6pm this fri (18th Aug). It's really nice! Ask me for sample vid or Na for her opinion LOL. Gaby n Jorel singing paikia song, u should know wad to expect. HAHA! ok gtg now..
11th August 2006
This post is for yesterday; haven't been posting a bit. haha i'm just lazy =D. anyway, I had NO DMP yesterday in the mornin. So yeah, I woke up late, slacked around at home (YAY!), before changing and going to school for the dian nao you xi thing. I could skip DMP because of this! haiz, but i still remain neutral, because the DMP was quite interesting (econs), and I wanted to go!
Today, we had to go to SAJC for the 1st run-through, and we were damn confused because someone told us that we did not need to bring our instruments. Then our teacher called and asked, "Have you brought your instruments?" I told her no need to, and either way no one else brought their instruments. Then she was like, wtfomgknnbccb (jk), " You were supposed to bring your instruments, check the instructions!!!" Champion. We all didn't bring anything. except our bass guitarist who brought his amp (quite pointless??).
So, we still had to go there, without our instruments. Luckily, this was just the 1st run-through. So yeah, we went there, and had to tell the teachers we would go last because our 2 vocalists weren't here yet too, besides not bringing our instruments. To add to that, 4 people from our group didn't bring their photocopied ICs. I'll cry after finishing the rest. Then, the lyrics sheet that J. Lim gave to the teacher was screwed up, she did not know what to type on the ppt, to show our lyrics on a screen. So, J. Lim had to indicate where the chorus and verses were, etc.
When he finished, he went up to the teacher, and KNOCKED ON THE CHAIR! Then the teacher was like (translated from chinese), " Excuse me, we are teachers too you know, don't knock on the chair like that." Omg...J. Lim turned around and was like, wtfomgknnbccb, screwed! Lucky they didn't care much after that. Soon after that, we finally went on the stage to do a sound test, and decide the position of the vocalists and the instruments. We tested with one amp, one borrowed bass guitar, 2 vocalists, and J. Lim improvising on the piano. Sounded uber dry, but yeah still okay! However, the vocalists, as usual, were stoning and singing too much like choir boys, and it sounded "anachronistic". Yikes, so the teacher told them, "You got to have more life in you!" Haha, I went on to pinch Gaby's cheeks to being some life into him. So yeah, this will probably be our biggest letdown, if they sing like GUAI kids instead of the pai kia they're supposed to be.
After that, we went on photo taking journey round the school. So yeah, take photos here and there. On the way back, we saw a basket of tennisballs. No one was around, and J. Lim's soccer instincts got the better of him, so as we passed by, a hand reached into the basket and grabbed a ball. But he was caught. HAHA! nice try, J. Lim. So we finally went back, again, and the teacher then told us to write an intro about our song. So we thought a while, and after brainstorming, we finally came up with this: Dian Nao You Xi is a song composed 100% in higher chinese class, in 10 minutes. It is a song about..... So we handed up, and the teacher was like, wtfomgknnbccb (jking again), I can't put this into the ppt to show others! yay, so she told us that she would help us write instead =D.
After that, the teacher called everyone onto the stage to sing the finale song, some oldie cheena thing that I haven't even heard of or practice at all. Likewise for the rest of the people (most of them), so as the music was being played, most of us were stoning/trying to sing, and yah, it was a bit retarded. Then the teacher, to rub salt into the already opened wound, was like (translated from Chinese), " Raffles Institution, you all haven't learn your piece! Make sure you learn it before the next practice okay...?" What a nice way to put it...
So finally, after that screwed up session, we were free! Rushed to Buona Vista MRT straight after that, to meet up with my friends for dinner. I thought I was late, but later on when I called them as I was on the way, N. Yun, " We are still waiting for Charles, still at Bishan." Once again, I was like, wtfomgknnbccb (jking yet again), but I told him to CAB HERE NOW or else we'd all be late, because we haven't eaten dinner, and it was like 6.15pm, and the concert started at 7pm. So, finally, they came! And we could finally move out! So we crossed the overhead bridge (which they came from ;P), to the bus stop to take 95. The bus came, and we got on.
According to my friend that worked in NUS (we were going to the NUS cultural centre), he said just take one stop and alight, because the cultural centre was right there. So well, I believed him, and we all song jong, because we were lost and didn't know how to get to NUS. So all of them were like, "Thanks a lot man, your friend has really been a great help..." (to put it in a nice way). We asked the pedestrians around there, but they all did not know too. So, we went back to the bus stop, and waited for the next 95. When it came, I went up to ask the bus driver how to get to NUS, then he told us to hop on board, and my friends were grinning menacingly at me. SRY LA! I also not sure lor...
M. Neo, " Come here boy...I'm gonna...", HAHA, screwed! So finally, we decided to get off the bus inside NUS, which was uberuber humoungously gigantically colossally BIG. Once again, we were lost, but at least we were inside NUS, which still did not help much. So we went to ask the people around, and they instructed us to take Bus 95 AGAIN. Once again, all of my friends were like, "I'm GONNA KILL YOU!" haha, super funny. BTW they were all joking all the while, not that they were really pissed at me.
So we decided not to take the bus a third time, but walked all the way there, so we could also eat dinner when we passed by some food stalls. It was already 7pm, so we had to rush, and we brisked walked aimlessly, until we came to a subway stall. Yay, salvation, we could finally eat dinner. Then the the lady at the stall told us, no more bread, so we had cookies + salad + drink for dinner. Haiz, though it tasted WEIRD, it was still healthy ;D. Once again, we went to ask the people around there, and finally, they gave us some directions. So after grabbing dinner, we walked and ate on the way. We walked, and walked, and walked, and when we were almost there, Leonard exclaimed, "I lost my ticket!" GG, we waited for him, and after waiting for so long that we decided he would not come back, we continued our hike towards the cultural centre.
AH...at last! We saw the big sign, "cultural centre", and many people inside. We weren't late! thank god. We quickly went in to join the rest of the people, and went to meet up with friends etc. right before the concert started. The concert started 10 minutes late, because there were so few people!! And they closed the top floor, so that more people would fill up the first 2 levels. The conert commenced, and D. seet was the concert master for the 1st half. They played stravinksy's Pulcinella, Suite of Orchestra, followed by Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme for Cello and Orchestra. The first song was a bit out of style, found it too classical-like for such a song, but for the 2nd song, the virtuosic solo cellist from SSO was ownage, and his playing style was really funny. He kept strutting his head around like a peacock! Hahaha, the audience was sniggering too.
So finally, it was intermission, we went out to meet our friends, and I gave some flowers to them too (had a total of 13, of which 5 were given). So we talked around, took pics, and we had to go back for the 2nd half. SO FAST!! Didn't have much time to talk at all! Anyway, the first item for the second half was Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasilieras No. 1, for cello ensemble. Chang da man led the group, and M. Chua was there too! The song was nice, and they blended in very well, except for certain parts which were quite obviously out of tune. After that was the finale item, Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C Major, "The Jupiter". They performed that in commeration of the 250th Anniversary of Mozart's Century. It was really zai, a good performance in my opinion, and they had 2 encores, of which N. Yun and M. Neo were complaining because they wanted to go home. And N. Yun was damn pro man, we took the sour skittles packet and poured all the remaining sour powder into his mouth, and he was like, wtfomgknnbccb (or at least trying to say that; he couldn't talk properly). Ownage sourness, but who ask him pour everything into his mouth! Haha, and N. Yun being his usual self told us the girl behind was damn cute... -.-
Yay! So we clapped on and before they left the stage after the 2nd encore, I shouted, "REMUS WHANG!" And it sounded really wrong, for those who did not know who remus was. Ooops xD. After the concert, we could meet up again! yay, so we talked, and gave flowers to the performers (the remaining ones). The stupid door person didn't let us go backstage! Argh, so we had to wait outside for the performers, who came out one by one all over the place. zzz, so troublesome! So yeah, went to say hi to many people, including Tat Wai who was seating behind us! woohoo, didn't know he'd come. And Ctoh was trying to kope my flowers...being himself as usual. --..--. Finally, I gave all my flowers! So we decided to head out for supper after N. Yun pestered us like siao. Took MRT to Raffles Place, then half of us rushed to Lau Pa Sat to eat (the other half were lagging behind so they decided to go home). N. Yun, M. Neo, and I shared 1 bowl of Ice Kacang, and rushed back to the MRT. Haha, we got onto the 3rd last train, woohoo! Just nice =D. So yeah, finally got home before I plonked on my bed and went into a deep sleep. It was fun!
oh yah i forgot to add...
just for those who think that work is all im troubled about...there's other bigger conflicts...which i would like to keep personal ;P. Every other blogger probably has other probs too, besides work, its just that we are only comfortable in sharing the prob of work.
Someday...ah nvm.
im just going craziii.
9th August 2006
Dont be quick to judge! Argh, once again im back to my sleeping late ways. Because of work. And to come to think of it, DMP does not really help much...
Now that it is proven that DMP does not equal slack, I shall try to get back to my old ways, and forget about slacking. sigh, wad an opportunity! it was right there, yes, but still out of grasp. It was so close, just an inch more, I'm getting to it already! then it decided that I should go back and work more, i dont deserve my reward just yet, and poof, it vanished out of sight in an instant.
Sigh, at least im still glad its just DMP and its a holiday, not some loaded week. I'll look forward with each new day, yet, from experience, each day just passes by, like any other day, and a new day begins, AGAIN. wads there to look forward to? well, nothing much. but still, i have to agree that I WANT HOLS! yay, anyway, watched NDP on TV. It was OKAY, not that spectacular...so yeah, again, quite pointless. after that went to play Generals w/ jonlim, nick and soonyong. but it was screwed up as ever. Lag + DC. zzzzz, so we didn't have a complete game.
well, I shall try to be the most optimistic a pessimist can be, and hopefully, each day will start to have some meaning in them. !!! how stupid can I get. I will never find meaning in each day. Been so busy until I start forgetting about him. Jehovah Jira, he will provide. I need to come back to him, what stupidity...yes, at least now life has meaning =D. thnx for giving me that inspiration, that bright spark in the midst of darkness lord. u made me remember you.
day b4 national day.
today is a day where we should all be feeling a sense of belonging to singapore. a sense of identity and attachment to our homeland. Well, i dont, and most of us dont. Somehow the way society works in Singapore makes us immune to all this national pride thingy, we're just too sceptical about all these kinda stuff. So, yeah, I did feel that today's national day celebration in sch was quite a waste of time! sigh, 3 hrs of boredom, make that 4 cuz of stupid RE presentation.
Lunch came after that, and YAY, the most interesting way to spend your holiday....TUTION! had chinese tution, then piano lesson. WHEN I COULDVE BEEN LANNING! argh. so well, its been a pointless day for me. stoning arnd, doing work, etc.
bleh i'll just have an early nite then. cya.
Finally...
Finally, my post is not over 12am.
Finally, I can sleep early.
Finally, I won't be stressed out.
Finally, DMP has started and I can slack.
Things need to come to an end, regardless of how long you push it or how much will power you have. It will still eventually come to an end. And I am glad it has. If this had continued, I would have been driven mad. LOL. It's 11.57pm now. maybe when i post this i'll be the next day. but well, at least i can have a breather now.
I will heave a huge sigh of relief now, *sigh*, and this sigh is not one of anguish nor depression, as all those before have been. It is one of contentment, satisfaction, and full of vigour. And this will be a significant juncture in my sec sch life. I am quite certain that I have never been so stressed out before. And now that all that pain has been thrown away, buried deep in the abyss of my dreaded past. It is time for a new ruler to take over: Happiness. yay, don't you really enjoy that feeling. Ironically, it's a feeling that spawns from school. After so much suffering, you just feel so happy that you have pulled through, so happy that you have finally suceeded, so happy that you have finally let your hair down. Oh, that feeling...how lovely. It will be a time of =D, :D, and more XD. I will try to treasure it as dearly as I can.
and btw, a big thnx to all those tht hve helped me pull through one of the hardest journeys in my life, at least tts the most difficult one so far...
6th August 2006
sigh, i've gradually been becoming a nocturnal animal. everyday also slp in the mornin...yikes! rly tired, so i'll try to keep everything short and sweet.
G2 is opened! yay, went there for eng service this morning. the place is nice, n the sound system owns! sadly the place smelt weird. tt kinda smell tt puts u off. Anyway, its still nice, and cosy, high-teh, innovative, wadeva. but its kinda far frm our house. sigh...but i'll still return to G2 once in a while though =D
bleh, i dun wan type anymore. my brain's just gonna burst anytime soon if i cont thinking. well, did nothing much for the rest of the day except prepare for infocomm comp. on mon. ARGH! hate the program they asked us to use. its quite retarded n featureless. sigh, either way we signed up for it so we hve no escape.
DMP has started (like now, today), n im lookin forward to it. hopefully it'll be less stressful! ok i nid my beauty slp. rly. BB!
5th August 2006
Once again im posting past 12am. oh no, thts a bad sign...haha but yeah, its quite nice to stay up late =D. no one disturbs u, and u can do ur stuff in peace. Coincidentally, homework needs a lot of concentration, so you should do it late @ nite/early in the morning like 1.00am, and sleep in sch the nxt day.
today, i had nothing much, as usual. just work, work, and more work. wad a boring life. played a bit C & C, n dota too. n of course, tried out Alice, some 3D program tt we nd to use for infocomm comp. its an interactive, colourful, and easy to use program. 3D novies should try it out, its rly simple to use. so yeah, came up with an idea of wad we'd be doing for the comp. and tested out a few stuff. so far so good, though it needs to look smoother. after workin on tt, left e house for my sis' sch performance. it was rather okay, with some good performances, and others tt were not so impressive. jon lim, and yan sheng's sis were performing too, both on the piano. both played well, but i luved the cello one the most. the cellist was uber ownage! the finale was also not bad =D. after the concert, finally went out 4 dinner. super hungry!! i just ordered and gobbed down everything. yummmm xD. so now im kinda bloated n will stay up till my stomach digests some food. tts all 4 now, bye.
oh yeah, DMP is gonna start n im overjoyed. yay!
4th August 2006
hmph. had mths test today, and it was okay =D philo n chinese were zzz....but arts @ atrium was not bad, except we sang erm....did not sound 'together' enough, our tones didnt blend. CLE was pointless too (as usual), but fun. im so sad! the final round of the interhouse infocomm challenge was a failure. so few people turned up, and it was rather disorganised. but hei, hei hullett! we won 1st place. so now we'll have a gd chance of getting top house this yr. whee! dian nao you xi prac was okay too, but needed to go slower, n de vocals needed to pronounce their words more clearly. haha. but gaby n jorel still as cute as ever. LOL! bleh, got home late, n been tokin on MSN. played generals with jon lim, its a laggy game for laggers who constantly lag out. haha, but we'll play again later on tonite xD, n i'll see whether my opinion changes. cya ppl. oh yeah, n DMP's about to start. im overjoyed now!
3rd August 2006
oh man. been updating every morning. this is bad. but today i shall be optimistic for once as the week draws to a close. ytd (5 min ago) wasn't the best of days, but i'll try to be happy about it (oh man, how ironic). anyway, ss was okay. so was chinese, history, phy, and assembly. now tht sounds like a gd start. and i did nt totally screw up for de MEP performance! finally, a decent score of 43 / 50, eventhough my hands were colder den the tap water in the toilet. but i felt merrill shld hve gotten higher! he played dam well, probably owned all of us xD. zhemin n jiahong played the same song, that sounded almost exactly alike. haha, so ms goh was forced to give them around the same marks. even dng did rather well =D. so well, today (like 10 hrs later) will be arts @ atrium for our vocal quartet. hopefully we will sound okay. back to ytd...had dian nao you xi prac after MEP. had to rush to J8 to get take away dinner. dang, my twister fries turned cold on the way back =( but it was still gd. prac was reasonably good, xcept for the fact tt we had no bass guitar, n the electric guitars were a tad bit too soft. but yeah, now jongan can play his part almost perfectly. n gaby + jorel uber cute as usual. LOL. whee, finals in bout 2 weeks. hopefully all our hard work will nt go down the drain. well, i'd better go slp, mths test comin up soon.
2nd August 2006
RE presentation, mug for phy, mths, ss pt, choir stuff, infocomm work, competition. my life has been revolving around school. as i sit here and type, i can see it zip in and out of my head, spinning round and round, making me dizzy. soon i'll go crazy. soon...
for now, i'll just let each day slip by, each day soon becomes a week, a week soon becomes a month, a month soon becomes a year, a year soon becomes eternity. soon...
as for today, school was okay. history was rather enjoyable, n so was PE and cross country. ran bout < hullett ="D.">
1st August 2006
Rly tired now. c'mon.................still hve loads of work to do. i shall heave a another sigh of frustration. add a bowl of sadness, a teaspoon of bitterness, garnish with tears and put my sore eyes in the middle of it all. splatter with brains and bon appetite. bleh, school is stuffing us with everything that should have been done in the next 4 weeks, cuz of DMP. omg. give me a break, give all of us a break! yeah, there's where physics came to the rescue, and so did ss. interesting classes today, n rly lame, retarded, funny wadeva! we were makin lame puns throughout class, and so was our teacher. besides that, a lot of other crap n intellectual rubbish xD. wad fun we had. if only school would remain like this forever...sadly, dreams never existed in reality, day dreaming is the closest u can get. and its a wonderful thing. brings peace to your worn out brain cells, calms and soothes your weary soul. and best of all, it can be done in class. just dont get caught doing it. anyway, work still has to be completed. wad goes round comes round. I'll be laughing when the teachers start marking all the work they gave us. soon ;D. again i shall revert to my sad old self and engulf myself in mathematical calculations and scientific formulas....a daily process that is inevitable. ciao
31st July 2006
back to reality. now, lets list what deadlines and tests there are. chem practical, maths test, MEP performance, Physics test. English project, Maths project, CHINESE PROJECT, RE Final Report (lol we drag 4 a long, long time), Organizing Interhouse Infocomm Challenge (qns, logistics etc.). Competition dateline 4 infocomm club (3D animation =D), social studies performance task. Sigh, these many things in a matter of....6 days? no wonder i've been sighing a lot nowadays. even right now i already know that most of my nov/dec holidays are gone. haiz, i dun want to talk about school anymore. its a really sad life. not just sad, no life at all. wad happened to a happy childhood? one of bliss and ignorance, where we would open up to the world at an ever so gradual pace. let nature take its course! and dont impose or force it, or be faced with its wrath. somehow, someday, one will finally realise that packin kids with multitudes of sch work is not the true way of learning, nor does it encompass the true meaning of education. haiz, gtg study for maths test now.
