As I pack my room, I'm looking through all the old stuff which I've kept. Those birthday cards, pictures, letters, presents... Reading and looking at them really brings back happy memories. I guess this is what you would call nostalgia.

Now we're all growing up. I'm enlisting into army in less than 2 weeks. Everyone's moving and changing. Don't be mistaken. I'm not sad that we're growing up. Ah just that when I look back, I realise how blessed I am and all the wonderful people I've met.

I'm really thankful for everything and for all my friends. I feel really really really blessed.

My friends are so awesome, and I can't to share with the world how awesome my friends are =D

2011-03-28T21:32:00.004+08:00

Ah it's been a long time since I'm here. Pretty ironic that the previous post was the 1st day after I stopped work.

Past 2 weeks have been quite good. I feel so relaxed and free and carefree. Frankly, I've been dreaming a lot. A LOT. Almost every night I've a dream. And some dreams were really weird, while some were quite nice heh. Also, I've been having problem sleeping at night. I can sleep almost anywhere anytime, except on my bed at bedtime. My mind just becomes so active and awake the moment I turn off the lights and lie on my bed. Maybe it's because I've been sleeping too much and too late for the past 2 weeks.

I still can't believe I went to work today. Now that I'm back at work, I intend to work until the end of this week, or maybe even next week. The main reason why I'm back at work is simply because I've no more money, and I don't want to take money from my parents. Hopefully I can pay driving lessons as much as possible.

Office seems really different now. The office's much quieter, and emptier. Firstly, I've no more friends there. Also, there were only 3 people, including me, at the office today. The job's getting lesser so less people need to come. ah I feel so lonely in the office. I feel like a lonely dood in a lonely office cubicle.

My job's also kinda changing. I used to be typing and packing. Yet for the past few times I've worked, including today, I've been calling people. Calling them to request for payment since their previous payment failed. Also, since I'm using the phone most of the time, I'll have to pick up the phone and now I've to solve the problems these people have too. Sometimes it's the fault of my colleague who failed to solve it and the person's really unhappy but I get scolded.

Gah today had one of the worst ever parent caller. Worst teacher caller too. The teacher wasn't even bothered to understand what I was saying, and merely wanted to know what to do. After explaining to her, all she ask was "so what you want?" After explaining to her again, all she says is "SO WHAT YOU WANT?" And she also said "I never hope to hear from you again." The more I think about it, the more frustrated I get. AAh seriously, theses unreasonable people who can't be bothered about others. They think they're the only ones having a headache. Yet they fail to realise that the poor dood behind the phone is frantically typing away in search of answers too and asking around trying to help them. I mean, c'mon, I'm as clueless as you. What's worse is I've to bear with them and answer them in a nice tone. I think one of these days I'm gonna tell someone off. These people are seriously monsters.

Anyone has any private driving instructor to introduce to me at SSDC(the one at woodlands)? The driving center has an earlier test date compared to CDC at Ubi so I intend to go SSDC for my practical exam, hopefully before I enlist. OR ELSE it's gonna be so SOo troublesome.

Day 1 after I've stopped work. I actually do intend to go back sometime soon if possible when I'm bored or rested enough. Well, we'll see how things go.

I'm quite confused about the whole university thing, their modules, degrees and all. Sometimes you've to go through the system to understand it. Just like JC, I didn't understand the H2 H1 thing until I've been through JC. Yet this time, if I do not understand the university system, I'm really afraid I'll make a wrong decision. Not that I've many choices, but I really do not want to regret my choice. Some may see me as picky or irritating, but well, that's just me. Choosing a university and a course is a pretty big decision to me, so I gotta make it a good one! Man, I gotta talk to some experts soon.

I realised most of my posts don't have much about what I do. I realised I don't really like to talk about details about my day and how I've spent it, but I've been saying more about my thoughts and all. Ah just a random discovery.

See I didn't talk about what I did today! And it's not on purpose! I only realised after I've finished typing this whole thing.

Oh and Mr Bean, you know the soya milk thing, has really really yummy pearls! Really! Go try it!

2011-03-05T01:04:00.002+08:00

Man I'm disappointed. Utterly utterly disappointed in myself.

My results ain't hopeless, yet I was hoping for more. I was looking forward to the day I could finally be proud of myself, and my parents being proud of me. Ah well.

Today could have been the most most most disappointing day of my life so far. I think it could have been because I've never ever worked so hard for something and wanted something so badly.

I've been thinking, could coming to JC actually be a mistake? Could I be over-estimating my abilities? I really wonder...

Ah well now I guess I'll just have to choose whatever course I want. Yet frankly, I don't know what I want. I somehow picture future Gabriel to be corporate Gabriel.

What do I want?

2011-02-27T23:12:00.002+08:00

Friday was the last day of 2 of my friends, so we went for a neck and shoulder massage! It's kinda difficult to describe the massage but I would say it's painfully enjoyable. Anyway we'll prolly gonna meet up sometime this week to go for the foot massage heh.

The past few days has been great!

Met up with my friends on Friday and Saturday. Managed to met up with those NS doods to hear about their really "enjoyable" NS lives. Ah it's gonna be my turn soon. Well I'm not really looking forward to it, yet honestly I'm not really hating it.

Tomorrow its back to work again, and first day with only 1 of my friend left at the office. I've kinda made the decision to stop working at the end of this week and I've already told boss. I'll probably go back a few days to help out once in a while when I'm free though, since boss says I can go back anytime I want to work hehe. Anyway, I'm having driving lessons and dinner out tomorrow after work so lets hope it'll be an awesome day!

Ah I really wonder what I'm gonna do after I've stopped working. I've a few things in mind now. I'm really looking forward to them happening soon!

Watch this MV! This is a really happy song! The dance and music makes me wanna move along too!

2011-02-24T21:54:00.002+08:00

Came across this story while reading RD's joke app on my phone.

Pet Sitter

We were going out of state for 6 weeks and asked the neighbours' nine-year-old son to care for our dog. We explained that the job required feeding, grooming, waking and, most of all, plenty of love and play time. Then we asked him what the job would be worth to him.

"I'll give you 10 bucks", he said.

- Joan Klingler

How nice is that story! As simple as it may be, it somehow touched me. Oh the innocence, purity and love a child has.

2011-02-24T21:33:00.003+08:00

Our 2 bosses today were arguing and they got really really angry. It's kinda scary but they got over it after a while and everything was back to normal.

Work today was pretty awesome. Our head took half day leave so he only came in after lunch. Plus, most of our work has been completed so boss gave us this long name list of 18k people to check for errors. It wasn't so bad cos we had the room to ourselves and the doors were closed so we kinda enjoyed ourselves. Our head came in after lunch, but he left after a while. We had the room to ourselves again. It's not like we don't do work, or we play. We don't play games during working hours. We do work, but we multi task and we've the freedom to say whatever we want and we really enjoy it.

Tomorrow's gonna be 2 of my colleagues' last day at work. At this point of time, I'm more inclined to stop working than continue working. I've a lot going on my mind, but I really don't know what to do.

Anyway, we've decided to order Domino's pizza for lunch and to get a massage after work tomorrow to celebrate their last day at work. I've always wanted to get a massage ever since I was studying for the A levels. Initially I wanted it to kinda reward myself after studying for the A levels, now it's just cos I want to. I wanna get the back and neck massage. I also want the feet massage, cos I'm curious how it feels but I don't think I'll enjoy it. hehe

Ah my computer's dead. Beyond resuscitation. How frustrating. Now I'm bored at home and I can't do much since my laptop's in the office and it's super troublesome to carry it everday. Now I'm using my mum's really small netbook. Ah I want my computer... =(

I'm really bored after work everyday. I don't like the routine of work, home, work, home. I personally find it very meaningless. Everyday I come home, and I don't like this feeling of emptiness. I can't really explain it. I just really really really don't like it. Days just pass, but I'm not going anywhere. I think I seriously need to meet up with my friends more often.

Ah anyway, driving today was kinda tricky. Weather was super bad. Visibility was poor. I could barely see 20m ahead of me due to the heavy rain. Lucky my instructor brought an auto car today so it'll be easier for me, and the weather got better as time passed. Practiced parking today. Hmm pretty interesting, and it's actually not as easy as it looks. I was kinda stressed out while doing parking. Oh well, practice makes perfect. Or does it....?

Work has been actually getting worse with each day. There's this internal conflict between the head and us workers which is growing everyday. Okay la not so much of me, I don't really bother I just sit there and enjoy the show. 2 of my friends are quitting at the end of this week, and my last friend will be leaving next week cos he'll be going poly soon. So, I'm gonna be left alone. While I don't have any conflict with my head, I honestly don't really like working under them. Plus I don't really like my job. It first started out fine, yet after 3 weeks, it's seriously BORING. But mostly cos I don't like my heads. 1 of the aunty's really awesome. Yet the others seem like evil backstabbers. This job's been quite fun, bearable, and enjoyble at times cos of my friends, after they leave, it's not gonna be the same.

Thus, I'm stuck in a dilemma. I just can't make a decision.
Should I quit with them, or should I just continue working? I don't like the heads and the job, but I like the money too plus I'll be totally aimless without a job. Someone with wisdom please advice me.

2011-02-21T14:33:00.003+08:00

ah I'm so bored at office right now. Everyone's bored at office today.

it's only 2.30 and I've 2 and half hours more to go.

I feel like not doing anything for now. I just wanna sit there and do nothing. ah.

2011-02-20T01:06:00.007+08:00

Had OG dinner yesterday! Actually, Anna and I wanted to check out the carnival at TPJC, but they didn't allow us to enter since we were no longer students. Ah, how disappointing. OG dinner was pretty awesome though. I'm hoping we'll have more of such dinners!

ZJ's the first army friend who booked out! Met for dinner with the rest today. We wanted to try this place at Shaw Leisure Gallery, but the queue was too long, so decided to eat hotpot at Bugis instead. Honestly, the stall we went was pretty bad. I thought it was expensive for the kind of service plus quality they're serving, as compared to the other stalls. Maybe that's why that's the only stall with empty seats LOL. We were too impatient. Hungry!!

Ah I really enjoyed myself the past few days. Everyday seems so happy and I actually feel accomplished and completed in a certain way. It's more than just the events that have been taking place.

As I look back, I kinda realise how fortunate I was. In the past, people would do things for me quietly to make it easier for me. Without their help, I probably wouldn't have gotten what I had. Yet now, I know that I'm on my own. No one's able to help me, or make things easier for me, or decide my actions. As much as I would like to try, I'm really afraid of failure. Really really really afraid of failure. Sometimes you feel its right and you should do it, but once you start thinking and trying to think it logically about everything else, you become less confident and even more afraid of failure. You sway back and forth, deciding if you should go or not, back and forth, and eventually, time's gonna run out before you make your decision. No one can tell you what's right and what's wrong, what should be done and what should not be done.

On another hand, I would like to end my post happily! thus I've found a new word.

Hangry : When you are so hungry that your lack of food causes you to become angry, frustrated or both. d[^_^]b

2011-02-17T21:54:00.002+08:00

Driving lesson today was great! Has my first manual car lesson, and thankfully I only stalled the car twice! Manual is actually more troublesome then auto but I guess I'll stick to manual. Drove from Bishan to Toa Payoh today and I thought I was quite a good achievement!

Tomorrow's gonna be a half day work. Also, I may be going back to Tpjc for their carnival and dinner with my og!

Ahh I'm so looking forward to tomorrow!

My compute crashed again today. And I can't be bothered to fix it already. How frustrating!! And it you're wondering how I'm posting this, I did it on my iPhone! Since my computer's down, I've actually nothing to do already. Tonight' I guess I'll prolly sleep early just so time can pass quickly for tomorrow to come. I'm so stoked!!!!

2011-02-16T22:24:00.003+08:00

Today was kinda good.

Work today was quite fun. Also, we had Dominos Pizza for 2nd day in a row. Pretty pricey though. Time flew fast and I didn't feel bored doing the stacks. The room was quite empty today. Our once 5men strong team was reduced to only 2 today. Luckily mini-boss had to leave early so we had the room to ourselves.

We made noises, sang, talked nonsense, only to realise that the whole office could hear us because the walls aren't really walls. What's worse is that boss's office is just next to our room and she could actually hear everything, and we only found out at the end of the day when she told us. We even tested it and our voices were like amplified when we were in the room. Ahhh how dumb. Let's just hope she didn't really pay attention to us. Nevertheless, dumb but fun!

Driving lesson tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to driving lesson tomorrow! Please let it be good. PLEASE. Let there be good weather tomorrow! and PLEASE don't postpone my lesson.

Amazing song! such a happy tune and sweet lyrics!

2011-02-15T23:18:00.004+08:00

ahhh my blog.

I've not been here for quite some time.

Work's pretty awesome. The job's actually kinda boring since it's pretty brainless but requires concentration and it can be a pain in the @#@!#.

However, I'm thankful that the people there are generally nice, especially the others who does the same job as me. Since I work for a really small company, there's only a few permanent and the rest of them are temporary staff like me. Lucky for me, the rest of them who are like me, are pretty much like me. If you know what I'm sayin... hah!

I've just started my first driving lesson and it was awesome! He wanted me to start with auto car so end up I drove from Bishan to Ubi on my first lesson hehe. Anyway Thursday's gonna be my second lesson. I hope he'll bring a manual car. I'm just curious LOL.

On something totally unrelated, frankly speaking, after being free from the exams for so long, I'm feeling quite restless. Yes I was having the time of my life after the exams, but overtime, it gets boring especially when all your friends become busy. When I was a student, my ultimate goal was to do well for my examinations. After the A levels, I've actually lost my ultimate goal which I've been trying to achieve for the past 12 years as a student. And actually it also kinda sucks that I've no goal or aim anymore! And no one to achieve it with anymore!

Everyday's boring, and there's nothing much I can look forward to except my driving lessons and... yea that's pretty much it for now. Pretty sad right? :(

Life's just not the same. I've no goals, no social life, no friends, and kinda no life. Ahhh.........

I'm not even sure if anyone will read this. I'm probably the only one who will read every single word of this post. Oh well..

Anyway, if anyone want to have dinner, or you do not want to eat alone, or you're bored, or anything, pleaseeeeeeeee invite me. I'll be eternally grateful d[^_^]b

weehoo

2011-01-28T00:48:00.002+08:00

Went Johor this morning with my relatives. It was awesome! I didn't know going to Johor was so quick and easy! Imma bring my friends there one day hehe.

Met up with the people I first knew when I entered TPJC 2 years ago today. It's been a really long time since we all hanged out. As usual, the time spent was awesome!

Yay the good life of a post a level student hehe.

However, I may be starting work soon... Hmm. I hope it'll be fun!

Anyway, going back to TPJC tomorrow with the choir people to hang around plus watch choir auditions! I am gonna wear TPJC uniform! I don't think anyone will suspect that I'm not a student since I'm so small and I've short hair.

awesome yo!

2011-01-17T13:11:00.001+08:00

Legend Of The Seas 8-10 Jan 2011

Hong Kong 12-16 January 2011

The past week has been amazing! HongKong trip has been a blast and I'm so looking forward to going there again soon!

oh my

2011-01-11T15:32:00.004+08:00

Just came back from cruise with classmates yesterday!

Royal Caribbean's Legend Of The Seas was awesome yo! Love the food. It's like a moving hotel. There's 11 decks and lots of facilities.

What's more awesome is that I'm going HongKong with choir friends! When? TOMORROW! I'm so excited.

The life of an after A level student hehehe.

U know actually I never expected to be able to enjoy so much after my A levels. First was going Turkey with my family, then cruise with my classmates, and now HongKong with choir friends. And it all just happens so fast. The more I play, the more I hope my results will be worth it. The more I play, the more guilty I become. Lets hope all these enjoyment will be worth it once my A level results are out!

2011-01-04T23:41:00.002+08:00

I'm so excited!

Tomorrow morning I'm gonna gather my courage and call PeiHwa Secondary to see if I can apply to be a relief teacher! It's gonna be the first real job (if I succeed). Wish me luck!!

final moments

2010-12-31T17:48:00.004+08:00

Oh look it's 6 more hours till 2011.

2010 has been quite a memorable year, prolly more than 2009. Things become more meaningful and purposeful, and it's no longer just going through the motion. It's the understanding that allows the appreciation of life.

The time after the A levels have been a blast. I'm enjoying the freedom, although it can be quite boring at times hehe.

I'm really thankful for my friends, each and every one of them. And I hope I've been a blessing to them as much or even more than they've been to me.

How should I spend countdown and the next few days? Frankly, I've got not much plans and it's getting kinda boring :(

But as I like to end on a happy note,

After 1 night at a Kpop fan's house with 2 other Kpop fans, this song is stuck in my head. Okay but it's really catchy haha.

Happy 2011 Everyone!

The life

2010-12-05T00:59:00.003+08:00

Just watched Despicable Me.

Well I thought it was quite a nice show. No extremes, but kinda nice and sweet story. I like stories with happy endings. It just makes u smile even though you know that it's all fictional. I guess it kinda gives you hope that there's always a possibility of things going well and awesome even after all the mess. And when it ends perfectly, it just makes u smile.

Anyway, had BBQ at my house yesterday. Made the last min decision to stay over at XL's house after the BBQ. The whole day was a crash course. We even made jelly! Yes and it tasted awesome.

I think I've been to City Hall 5 times this week, and I'm probably going there again tomorrow. Oh well, why does that place have to have everything. Bowling, Pool, Movie theater, tons of awesome shops. They even had Hi-5 perform at Marina Square a few days ago!

A few days ago I had this nightmare. It isn't really a nightmare but I guess you can call it a nightmare. I dreamt that I had to take the A Level Math paper in a few days. And for the past week or so I've been playing since my last paper. So obviously I wouldn't be able to remember anything so I panicked. Absolutely horrible feeling.

Okay like I would like all stories to end happily, I shall end happily. Prom is on Tuesday! Frankly, I don't really pay much attention to the event but I actually seem to be looking forward to it. It's gonna be an awesome night!

POP

2010-12-02T23:13:00.001+08:00

Prince Of Persia has gotta be one of the best movies ever!

The story and action is incredible. Absolutely amazing!!

2010-12-02T12:21:00.002+08:00

Oh my I love this song! Sucha awesome song!!! This is the glee cover, and it's super amazing!

2010-12-02T00:23:00.004+08:00

Yay exam's over!

2 years of JC has just gone past. 2 Awesome years.

There's nothing much to do now. Basically slacking around, having fun, shopping for prom, and have even more fun haha.

Just watched The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Well, frankly the show's okay, but not really that good. Nevertheless, I thought it was worth the watch. Wehee I've lots more movies and I'm gonna watch them all! Oh and I found out that the guy who acts as the apprentice is the voice-over for the guy in How To Train Your Dragon! really unique voice.

awww

2010-11-21T00:17:00.003+08:00

Watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today.

Frankly, I was expecting more from the movie, prolly because of all the recent Harry Potter hype. The Half-Blood Prince didn't have much, but I guess it's kind of a good build up to the epic(hopefully) ending hehe. I can't wait to watch Deathly Hallows. And I just realised I haven't read it yet and I don't have the book! Imma so gonna buy it to complete my collection!

OMG

2010-11-20T01:11:00.002+08:00

How To Train Your Dragon is such an AWESOME MOVIE.
The show's so awesome, I have to put a picture of it here!

The story and graphics and all's amazing, especially the flying. It's almost like a childhood fantasy hehe. A childish imaginary escape from the real world. This is prolly one of my favourite movies. It's a really awesome break from reality, especially from studying.

I really love Disney movies. They always have such awesome stories.

Anyway, I've gotten several other movies, including Lord Of The Rings and even Twilight. Can't wait to watch them! =D

If you're wondering if the A level examination's over, it's not. Well frankly I'm really sick of studying. A level exam is like a never ending battle. There will never be a point where studying is enough, it's always more and more and more. Anyway I'm only left with 3 papers! Weeheee! Wish me luck!

2010-11-09T20:45:00.002+08:00

Oh look it's day -2 to the start of my A levels!

Chemistry paper 3's over. Well, frankly I thought it was decent, prolly cos I didn't have much expectation of paper 3. Sadly, I didn't have time to complete it. Hehe actually even with more time I doubt I can do those questions. Anyway, there's still 2 more papers so I hope I'll do well!

General Paper's tomorrow! I'm really worried for GP. It's not that I've not prepared, or that I'm not ready. I'm just really worried because you can never predict what's gonna come out! It's the ssss... u know.. that kind of feeling. I know that I should be confident and just do my best but I just can't help but feel anxious.

Let's just hope I'll do well tomorrow =D

Well, all the best guys!

2010-11-09T00:37:00.003+08:00

Woah amazing how time flies.

I remember looking at the screen seeing that there was 8x days to prelims. And now, I'm -1 day to the start of my A levels! yes negative 1!

Geography was quite okay. Quite a good start. Tomorrow's a big paper for me though. Chemistry paper 3. It's quite an important paper so I'm really hoping I'll do well. It's gonna be an important moral booster since this week's like a crazy crash course. I've a paper everyday, and after this week, I'm left with 2/3 Chemistry and whole of Physics.

Oh man I really wanna do well.

TPJC

2010-10-20T21:44:00.002+08:00

These 2 years have been really eventful.

As much as I wish the school could be better, I'm so happy I'm in TPJC 09S22.

I love my classmates. Each and every one of them. I'll never forget the awesome memories we've shared. I love my teachers too. I'm really thankful for all my teachers, especially Mr Low.

During our last GP tutorial today, he talked to us about education. And I'm really thankful that he's my teacher. I'll never forget what an inspiration he's been to me. GP lessons, out of lessons, and even Orientation 2010. I really admire him and I feel so blessed that I've been taught by him. I really wish 1 day I can be an inspiration to another person, just like he is to me.

Words can never convey how I truly feel.

2010-10-19T16:59:00.004+08:00

worst.day.ever

The world is just unfair. People don't get what they deserve, and people get what they don't deserve. Some say it's fate. Some say it's luck. Some say it's a will of a deity. I believe it just happens. There's no need for a reason for everything that happens. It just happens. That's just the game of life.

Have you ever, for a moment, wanted to give up on this game? You've made a wrong move, and you find that whatever you've been working for is lost. You want to start afresh. You cannot undo this mistake. Your masterpiece has been ruined and it can never be fixed. Other people say it's not worth giving it up, and may never understand why you are giving it up. You may also never understand why you wanted to give up. Probably this means a lot to you, and now it's being taken away. It's like losing an identity. Losing who you were, and who you used to pride yourself to be. You don't have a choice. It's never coming back. It's never gonna be the same.

Have you ever been penalized for helping a friend cover a lie, a lie which you never would have said? Have you ever had to suffer consequences, so painful as though a part of you had just died, for something which you know you never would have done?

A lie for a friend. Worth it?

At the end of the day, whatever the reason, I still lied. Only today, I realized how ugly a person can be. How loathsome, repulsive, even disgraceful I can be.

2010-10-16T23:04:00.002+08:00

Just some interesting stuff I came across while doing some GP research for ideas. d[^_^]b

Paradox of Life
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but
have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller
families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less
sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems,
more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little,
drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too
little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too
much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a
living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've
been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street
to meet a new neighbour. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've
done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but
polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write
more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to
rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to
produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods, and slow digestion, big men and small
character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of
two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are
days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night
stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to
quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and
nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to
you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just
hit delete.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going
to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your
side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is
the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but
most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from
deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for
someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to
speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

WEDNESDAY

2010-10-06T21:46:00.007+08:00

My blog's like some forsaken, abandoned ancient ruins =(

I'm resolved to do well for the A levels! I mean, c'mon, who isn't haha. I've uninstalled dota, garena, blackshot. Not like they've been any sort of major distraction but it's just a step towards preventing myself from playing computer games. Oh, and I've completed watching How I Met Your Mother season1 all the way to the latest episode. It's a good thing actually, cos I can now focus without watching HIMYM episodes back-to-back. Okay I know I should have watched it after A levels, but I just can't stop once I started watching LOL. So halfway through, I convinced myself to complete the show and I did that last week. Show's AWESOME btw.

Looking at class, I'm really thankful for the classmates that I have, and for all my awesome teachers. Frankly, if I was given another choice, I think I would still study in TPJC. As much as the school not being physically awesome, as much as the school not making awesome decisions, and whatever reasons I can think of, I would never trade those for the 100times more awesome friends and teachers I have in this school.

I'm saying all these because today in class, I somehow had a sudden revelation. Somehow it made me realise how awesome my friends and teachers are. I can never explain how it feels, but it's like reflecting on everything that has happened and changed in a brief moment, and u realise how great your JC life has been. I know it sound really goofy, but it's just something I felt and I'm really thankful for everything d[^_^]b

The clock's ticking and there's barely 25 days left. I can't afford to fail. OOooo I can't wait till exams are over!

It's gonna be
LEGEN - wait for it - DARY

WOHOOO

2010-09-18T02:17:00.002+08:00

It's 2.16am and I'm going to sleep.

It's been a really long day, but A REALLY AWESOME ONE TOO!
ULTIMATE AWESOME DAY!!!!!!

And Happy Birthday Cheryl Lua! =D

gahhhhhhh

2010-09-12T20:56:00.003+08:00

My blog's so dead. I don't even think anyone except me reads this LOL. Oh well.

1 week of holiday has just past. Just like that. It's actually feels quite fast. Come to think of it, I'm actually kinda looking forward to school. I mean, the thought of going to school doesn't really seem so bad. Anyway, I'll end by 11am for this whole week hehe!

Confident? Nah not really. I'm just gonna give it my best shot. It's only just the beginning of the last lap. Wish me luck =D

wehehahohu

2010-09-09T23:54:00.003+08:00

Ahh this holiday has been so no-life for me. I've practically spent the whole holiday at home. I'm soo looking forward to getting my haircut tomorrow. It's actually kinda an excuse for me to stop telling myself that I've to study. Man...

Ah and my ez-link's disabled! I've already fixed it but apparently the person didn't do it properly so it's still disabled. Tomorrow's a public holiday so I wonder if they'll be open... COS I WANNA GET MY CARD FIXED!!

My parents just had an argument with my brother. As much as I love him, I think he needs to wake up his BLOODY idea. Don't get me wrong. I do love him! But I seriously think there's something wrong with his mindset. In short, he thinks he owns the world. 1 day someone's gonna wake him up from his dream, and bring him back to reality.

Moving on to something less annoying,
Potter Puppet Pals!!!!

Don't call me lame! I think this episode's really really hilarious!! I'm serious. I was ROFLOLMAO-ing the whole time. Listen to the swear words! Especially the long one at the end. hahahaha Okay I know I've no life, but watch it!!! =D

Your mother is a _____Laura nibson_______ hagrid and Venium __(Something I can't spell... or say)______hippopatamus_________republican_________and Daniel Radcliffe_____ with a bucket of________in a castle far away where no one can hear you________ soup__________ with a bucket of______Mickey Mouse________ and a stick of dynamite _________ magical______alakazam.

WATCH IT DUDE!

Ahh

2010-09-07T23:43:00.003+08:00

It's already half way through the school holidays and I'm still not 100% prepared for the 2nd half of Prelims which is gonna hit me next week. Then again, you can never be 100% prepared. You can only do your best, and see how far your best can bring you. Isn't it?

Well, what's done is done. I don't feel adequately prepared for the exams. I've got half a week more to make up for lost time!

Watch this! Really really hilarious.
Then again, I've nothing against Justin B. I do admit I enjoy some of his songs cos they're really catchy and all. I know nothing about his personal life, so I'm just saying this based on his music haha.

oh and speaking of music, MTV VMA will be held this Sunday!! But it's Monday 9am for us! So I guess I'll just have to watch the repeat. And the host for this year is Chelsea Handler! Yea I don't know who that is haha but it doesn't matter, I'm sure it'll be a good show!

xzzx

2010-09-02T16:19:00.005+08:00

Physics today wasn't really good. And I made a silly mistake! which would most probably cause the whole question to be wrong. Damn. It wasn't really horrible, but I expected more from myself. I'm kinda disappointed in myself yea so... Imma have to work ultra hard. I don't want to screw up. On a happier note, I thought geography was quite okay(YAY!!). It's quite a big achievement for someone like me who's always scored < 30% for all geography tests. Let's just hope I'll do well for it and for all my other papers weeeee!!!!!

And I feel that teachers shouldn't give hints to individual students for exams. I mean like seriously. It doesn't really reflect on how nice you are. If you want to hint, at least hint to everyone. Or else, keep it to yourself and let everyone have the fun of doing the paper.

Amazing song and amazing singer! Love this kind of songs. It feels so sincere, makes you happy! d[^_^]b

Weehoo

2010-08-29T18:47:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow's prelims! how fast...

Yesterday night was one of the best I've had in quite a long time. Ever since SA2, I've not had much of a life. Always busy with school work, studies, and all. Pity I didn't take any pics though haha.

Dinner at Yuki n Yaki @ Marina Square with Jaryl, Chiahwee, Clare and Amanda yesterday night. It's been a super long time since I saw them! The last time I saw them was during Plasir De Chanson in June. Yuki n Yaki's quite an awesome place too. There's food's good and there's the really interesting ice-cream making thing. You can make your own ice-cream from some milky thing. Just have to pour it onto this platter, then it'll harden and become ice-cream! I know right! Okay I know I'm a total nubcake HAHA.

There's this really cool machine at the arcade where the seats move!! Plus, you've to shoot, and sometimes drive! There's this super big area with the Toy-Catching-Machines. We tried twice to catch this cat but failed, and guess what. Someone caught the cat just after we left to see other machines! Manxz... the people there are really good though. Some have several soft toys and everyone's like winning at the machines!

I'm soooooo gonna buy these machines and put them in my hotel!

And thanks guys for the card!! Really appreciate it! Love the really cool present too! d[^_^]b
I solved it already hehehehe...

Okay it's back to hugging Buddha's leg(s), (depends on[QUALIFIER] the width of his leg)! HAHA It's okay if you don't get it.

ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR PRELIMS!!

weeheeheee

2010-08-24T22:55:00.005+08:00

Tomorrow's the last official day of term 3 before Prelims next week! Time's flying so fast!

School today was quite good. Studied in school until like 7plus then went tuition. And I'm just back home not long ago! And the weather's really hot!

Performance today went quite smoothly! It's really awesome to perform for your friends and to share with them what you enjoy. Actually frankly speaking, I'm not really keen on the performance as much as I thought I would be. It's not anyone's fault or anything. Just that if I could go back in time, I probably would have said no. I don't really know why. Probably it's cos of Prelims next week and I'm not as confident as I would like to be.

I don't want my results to suck. I don't want to get the kind of results I've been getting for the past few years =(

A really nice song! Has the retro feel to it! Awesome acoustic setting. Love the car! =D

Yea I know this video's too big. Imma change my blogskin after Alevels! When I'm FREE!! Till then... back to mugging! =D

1 week

2010-08-22T22:55:00.001+08:00

1 more week to Prelims! Zomg time flies. Yet feels so slow. Ironic isn't it...

FRIDAY

2010-08-21T01:03:00.002+08:00

Had awesome dinner and awesome time with my OG friends. Yeap the first few people I knew when I first came to TPJC in 2009. Well, not all of them are from my OG, but the reason why we're together is because of the OG. It's been quite a while since we had everyone and today's one of the awesome occasions!

Man I'm tired. but there's GP tomorrow! NITEX!!

ahhhahahaha

2010-08-18T23:40:00.003+08:00

TODAY WAS AWESOME. AWESOME POSSUM.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR MAKING TODAY SO AWESOME. THANKS FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WISHES FROM EVERYWHERE. THANKS FOR THE HUGE GUITAR BALLOON. THANKS FOR THE CAKE.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING GUYS!!! REALLY APPRECIATE IT d[^_^]b

Monday

2010-08-16T23:06:00.002+08:00

Today's the start of another week. And it's another week closer to Prelims. Oh man.

School today was fast. Had 1 hr of PE, 1.5hr of lecture, and 1hr of GP. Oh, and 1 hr of CLB. Lucky CLB isn't really considered CLB since the class starts late, and we'll always talk about nonsensical stuff. The teacher's really nice cos she knows that we aren't really bothered about studying Chinese since we're just waiting for results. Imma get my chinese results back on this coming Wednesday! If I pass my H1 Chinese, I don't have to go CLB anymore and today is the last Chinese lesson of MY LIFE! If I fail, then I've to attend serious CLB lessons already. *cross fingers*

ZOMG I DON'T WANT TO FAIL CHINESE AND TAKE CLB.

Missed math tuition today, and I'm gonna miss it next Monday too. How sad.

Didn't really study much in school today. I'm glad at least I just completed my geography homework at home and I'm about to start on my math homework. Studying with the computer off is so productive! Imma try to leave the computer off as much as possible. If you're wondering why I'm here, it's cos I'm here to check what math homework I have! Okay back to studying :B

2010-08-15T19:00:00.002+08:00

Why do you guys always have to spoil my day every Sunday?

I always have a very pleasant morning and afternoon all by myself at home. And u guys just have to spoil it. I'm sick of it. Seriously sick of it.

TGIFT

2010-08-12T22:26:00.002+08:00

Yay it's Friday tomrrow! Bohoo there's IR tomorrow so I end at 530pm. Bohoo it means that 1 more week's over and I've left with 2 weeks before prelims.

Still, all's well. I'm feeling quite happy today and I don't know why. Even though my guitar still does not have an E string. I still can't believe I snapped it. Just like 2 weeks after I re-stringed. Okay not as dumb as my previous time. Which snapped immediately after I re-stringed it, but that was because I was careless hahaha okay I'm sorry my dear strings and my poor guitar.

Studying today was quite good. I'm actually quite glad that I'm in Band 3 for math. Not that it's my choice. But yea, although it's slow(we spent 2 weeks on vectors), but I've learnt quite a lot from it. And now I don't have to study vectors already hurray! Tomorrow's chemistry IR is on Ionic Equilibrium. Hope it'll be good.

Okay I shouldn't be using the computer BYEBYE =D

Mid week

2010-08-11T22:48:00.003+08:00

Ahhh 3 more weeks to Prelims and it's already Wednesday!

Class photo taking today was quite good. Just playing around and laughing.

Looking back, I think I'm slowly changing my perception about GP. I used to think GP as a really boring and dumb subject, and I don't see what's the point of it since you can't study it. Well I guess I was wrong. After 6 months in Mr Low's GP lessons, I've realized GP is more than just about answering the questions blindly. Rather, it's like decoding what the author is truly trying to convey, and his attitudes towards the issue. It's like, every comprehension he goes through, I'll get to see it from a whole new point of view and fully understand the passage. And actually I think it's quite interesting. The way the author uses words, the reason for structuring his passage this way, and the inherent flaws that accompany it. I'm really glad to have Mr Low as my GP tutor. Really thankful. d[^_^]b

I've shifted my computer just barely 1 meter away from it's original position HAHAH. Okay I know it sounds retarded, but now I've my whole study desk to myself and my books. I've no place to put the keyboard so I've to use the keyboard on my lap which is quite uncomfortable so I won't use the computer for long. Lucky it's wireless or it's gonna be dam messy.

Can't wait for Prelims and Alevels to be over. Yet, I don't want them to come so soon. Qian hou mao dun!

Last Day Of Break

2010-08-10T12:36:00.004+08:00

Played tennis with Kenneth then went over to Xiaoli's house for a stayover on Sunday night. We didn't study on Sunday night cos by the time I reached, it was already 11pm. Slacked and talked.

Monday studying wasn't really that productive. I got so frustrated studying Hypothesis testing and Organic Chemistry. And I can't freaking log in to AskNLearn to get the solutions. Pissed.

Went back home in the evening and watched the National Day Parade. I thought this year's parade's quite nice. The lighting, costumes and all.

Today's Tuesday and today's homework day. Lots of homework to be done, especially for GP and Geography. Plus I've got studying to do, according to my work plan. I've drawn up a 3 weeks workplan, which is until Prelims and if I'm able to stick to it, I'll be able to complete studying all topics. However, I really doubt I'll be able to stick to it cos I failed the last time HAHA. AHHhh I'm so dead.

Btw, studying at home is ULTIMATE boring and the computer's distracting! I'm considering shifting my computer somewhere else until A level's over. Hmm....

Ah long weekend

2010-08-07T23:35:00.003+08:00

Had my last tuition at Annexe Project today. Life goes on haha. It's a really nice place to be though. Awesome people!

Studied at Xiaoli's house today after tuition. And we're planning on a sleep over at his house tomorrow night! It's gonna be mugging and for some heart-to-heart sharing. But I just read my horoscope, and coincidentally, it's about sharing ideas and stuff and it's prediction's quite negative =(

By the way, I've been reading a bit about horoscope. No particular reason, just sudden interest. I used to think horoscope was kinda nonsensical. I mean like, how are we linked to the way the plants move and stuff. As absurd as it sounds, after reading a little, I find some parts true! It's just that weird and interesting!

Can't wait for National Day Parade! I enjoy watching the soldiers marching and all. Anyway I get to watch it only once a year! And 1 year ago, I was busy being a VIP usher, opening doors during the parade for 3 months every Saturday before the actual day. It was quite an experience though!

2010-08-05T23:12:00.000+08:00

WHO'S A LIBRA OR SAGITTARIUS!

Pre-national day celebration... wait JC2s don't.

2010-08-05T22:17:00.003+08:00

School was quite good today! Math intensive revision was quite productive, but started to lose focus after 2hours, luckily it ended in 2hours 20mins. Night study was quite good, but I gotta learn to maximize my time and start early. I didn't really manage to finish much topics today.

Tomorrow's national day celebration in college. Pity we JC2s won't get to watch anything celebration or anything. It's just a normal school day for us. Although we're allowed to wear jeans and red/white shirt, I guess I'll prolly just wear half uniform LOL.

Chanced upon this.
This has gotta be one of the best illusions ever!

Mid week

2010-08-04T23:34:00.002+08:00

School today was quite good. Lessons felt fast and effective! And I got to miss CLB and geography IR cos I had to go to the dentist to get my retainers.

Speaking about retainers, I got the big transparent one, and I'm starting to regret getting it cos it's super uncomfortable and bulky, since it covers your teeth.

Went back to school after getting my retainers. Slacked around and studied a little. Initially planned to go to Pasar Malam to get some food since I'm running out of Apollo. But after the whole studying thing, it was quite late and we were tired so we went home.

And now I'm home alone. I'm home alone with no one else. I think this is the first time I'm alone at such a time! I'm a big boy now HAHAHAHA

a significant day

2010-08-03T22:16:00.004+08:00

Had class photo taking today. Photo taking was terrible with a capital T. Unplanned, uncommunicated, unpleasant, unhappy. I can't stand it when people blame you for something you don't know. Anyway what's done is done, let's just leave it and move on. The photographer/teacher sent an online message saying there's his shadow's in the picture so he's asking us if we wanna take it again. Well I guess it's a chance for us to plan now and take a good picture, after know what the requirements are, so it ain't such a bad thing that we've to re-take the picture.

School today was quite fast. Geography was surprisingly peaceful. I kinda fell asleep yet the teacher didn't call me. Not at all!

I love it when you've something to look forward to during school. It makes school seem so fast, like at least you know where you'll be going or what you'll be doing. In the past, I used to look forward to Choir/Council. I miss having CCAs =(

Audition today was quite okay although I thought I sucked. My fingers were kinda shivering from the nervousness and all. But I'm glad it went well, just hope we got in haha. All the best to the other people too! Let's just all have fun and enjoy whatever we're doing! Wohoo!!

I love the drums of this song especially the drum intro thought the drummer looks like Frankenstein HAHA. Used to listen to this song a lot when I was younger!

Monday bluez

2010-08-02T22:35:00.000+08:00

Today's Monday. Not such a bad Monday actually.

School was smooth and fast, except PE, which was, in my opinion, the worst lesson of the day. Shan't talk about PE. GP's quite enjoyable with Mr Low, especially today when we did short answer questions practice. I kinda enjoy reading the passages and decoding it and trying to answer the questions and inferring and all. Physics today was fast, yet purposeful. And I'm glad I participated during physics instead of stoning. Then there's CLB. CLB was quite a waste of time though. The lesson started 30mins late because everyone was late and there was some AV problem. And I slept for the next 30mins, and that's the end of CLB.Yes I feel guilty because the teacher's quite nice hehe.

Stayed in school with the tution mates before having dinner at White Sands then tuition. Tuition was quite productive today. I managed to do quite a few questions, but quite slow though. There's like only 98 more days to my A levels. Time to panic!!!

Tomorrow's quite an important day for a few of us. Hope we'll get through =D

100 more days

2010-08-01T22:54:00.002+08:00

1 week's gone! how fast!

This week's gonna be quite a short week and long week end because of National Day! Tuition tomorrow. Hope it'll be productive, and I can do some work before that too. I'm kinda lagging behind in my study schedule, but I'll try to make up for it this week during the long break.

I've been thinking about music these few days. I kinda regret not taking piano seriously and failing my grade 8 exams last year by just 5 marks. How dumb. I had sort of a bad dream ytd. Can't really remember it but it was something about my A level results. I hope it won't come true, and I hope I won't look back and say to myself "how dumb".

Brace yourself

2010-07-28T22:14:00.003+08:00

Today's one day to remember. Well not because of anything in school, but jut happens that I removed my brace today! Yes it's finally off after spending 3years+ with me. I was super afraid that the dentist wouldn't remove it cos she said "If all goes well, we'll remove your braces next visit" and that last visit was almost 3 months ago cos she postponed it twice! Removing it was quite fast, in fact, really fast. Removing the rings at the back were super painful. Crazy pain. And there's 4 rings, so that's like going through the pain 4 times. After the rings are out, the whole thing comes off though so it's quite fast.

School's been quite busy with intensive revision and other stuff and we went Pasar Malam too! I'm kinda behind schedule for my workplan cos I haven't been serious studying for the past 3 days so I better buck up! My family's watching "Despicable me" this Sunday. I was supposed to join them but I don't think I'll be going already after looking at the progress I've made. Gotta catch up with my work. I'll probably watch it and all the other awesome movies I missed at the end of the year after A levels. Like a crazy week of movie marathon. I'm sooooo looking forward to after A levels!

I wanna watch Sorcerer's Apprentice too boohoo :(

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

2010-07-26T22:37:00.002+08:00

PE today was a total waste of time. Spent like 30mins settling down and watching YOG videos. Then spent the next 30mins doing circuits. HOW BORING. Worst PE lesson of the year seriously.

Today's the only day which my class ends at 1230 and we do not have night study or Intensive revision program. Well, still stayed in school until 5+++ before going tuition.

Math tuition was quite good though. Painful and slow progress, but at least it's progress! Tomorrow's physics intensive revision. And geography lessons. I hope I survive tomorrow's geography lesson. I always get called for no reason. I think the teacher has something against me. I'm serious!

Geography

2010-07-25T19:37:00.002+08:00

Studying isn't that fun, but it isn't that bad too.

However, studying Geography is seriously a pain in the A!! It's just so frustrating! There's no structure to the whole thing! So, I tried studying from the syllabus to provide me with some sort of guide. And guess what, I can't find the information I need. Not from my notes, and not from the internet. My note's full of useless facts and there isn't what I want, and the information is all over the internet! I spent my whole afternoon just searching for the information I need just a really small part of it. I'm so glad it's just my H1. Seriously...

I'm planning on getting my hands on the reference book by David Waugh. Hopefully it'll be more informative and not as useless as....

Moving on to something more positive and less irritating, tomorrow's the start of the new timetable! And I end school on Monday at ... 1230pm! There's no intensive revision and night study for my class on Monday so we really end at 1230pm! How nice right. Okay la but frankly, it doesn't really make much a difference haha. We'll probably end up studying in school then going for tuition after that.

Actually come to think of it, I rather the school give me time to do self studying, and not have the intensive revision program cos I'm kinda skeptical about the thing. I'm kinda predicting that the intensive revision program will be a waste of time. Well, we'll see how =D

1 week closer to Prelims. And 1 day closer to removing me braces! d[^_^]b

Humuhumunukunukuapua

2010-07-24T21:38:00.004+08:00

After today's tuition, I actually feel a little sad that I'm leaving it in 2 weeks time. It's like I'm leaving this happy family sort of thing :(

Today was the parent-teacher meeting. My parents went but I didn't follow them since I had tuition. I'm quite disappointed with the feedback my teacher gave, but that's kinda what I expected my teacher to say. Sometimes people think they know you and form all sorts of impressions of you, but do they really know you? Or is their knowledge of you just a perception of you? And perhaps a really biased one since they only see a certain side of you.

Anyway, moving on to something happier, I'm possibly taking out my braces this week hehe. I really hope I do, and I should be able to remove them, unless something stupid happens again like for the past 3 times.

This was taken last year before SYF at VJC during some choral exchange. I still remember we kinda sucked during that performance.

This was taken while we were competing Sacred Category in International Krakow Choir Festival we went last month! The venue of that category was in this church! Really awesome acoustics. The echo is imba.

And I lost my Line Spectra and Halogen Derivatives lecture notes!!!!

Friday!

2010-07-23T22:48:00.003+08:00

Today's the last long Friday I'll ever have until school ends. Next week onwards there'll be night intensive revision so school's gonna end at 5 on most days. Plus I've 2 days night study and I intend to stay in school to study so I guess Imma spend almost all my time in school.

School school school. Time table's gonna change next week. School's ending early but there'll be 3hours intensive revision periods everyday except for 1 day. Plus there's gonna be night study! School's gonna be sooo fun!!! hahaha ok la but seriously, I'm glad that there's time for us to study. I hope I can make good use of this time.

Is bubble tea or Mac healthier? I seriously think Bubble Tea is healthier.

gahhhh

2010-07-22T20:41:00.002+08:00

Looking at what I've done for this week, I'm actually a little disappointed in my progress. I think I've kinda lost the focus and determination I had last week. And I can't just leave it like that. I'll definitely not do well if I carry on like this but I can't afford to not do well. This week's been busy. Had quite a few activities going on, and I guess that kind of made me lose my focus. Well now that it's over, it's time to go back to serious studying!

Prelims is inching closer, and time is running out.

Weehee wednesday

2010-07-21T22:38:00.001+08:00

Today was A level Chinese Listening Comprehension. I though it went well, anyway it'll be the last of CHINESE I'll ever see... Hopefully! haha.

PE tomorrow! I hope it won't rain cos I wanna kick some ballxzzxz hahaha

Soccer

2010-07-20T21:28:00.000+08:00

Guess what? I decided to play soccer today haha. Soccer was fun but tiring. Like seriously tiring! Probably haven't had such a long intense exercise session since I last trained for badminton during my secondary school days. Now my legs are aching, and I'm anticipating even more ache tomorrow when I wake up.

Borrowed shoes from Mr Kuah. Lucky he kept his boots in his car, plus he had 2 pairs so he was able to play too! Or else I'll have to wear Zijie's shoe which is 3 sizes bigger than my feet size.

Now it's back to reality and back to studying. Tomorrow's Chinese Listening Comprehension too. I hope I don't fall asleep!

Tuition

2010-07-19T21:53:00.003+08:00

Just back from math tuition. First lesson at this new tuition center. Well it wasn't really tuition, more of individual consultation in a group. The idea's quite cool though. You've a teacher to teach you, and you can learn at your own pace while doing your own work! Met an old friend there too. How small is singapore! By the way, I meant old as in old and not old. Well, you get it :)

I was late for school today. And the feeling sucks cos I don't really think it's not completely our fault. My dad's overseas so I've to take bus with XiHsien to school until he's back. We went at our usual time and guess what? The bus timing's changed. HOW NICE. End up, we were late. And it's the 2nd time late since I was late last week too. I don't wanna get suspended! And I don't wanna go to the doctor to tell a lie to get an MC. I really hope I'll be on time LOL. Gonna wake up earlier tomorrow and leave the house earlier. EAT THAT, STUPID BUS 34!!!

There's a soccer match between my classs and several other classes tomorrow. I'm still considering if I should play, since I honestly suck at soccer and all I'll do is probably kill their chances of winning, and I doubt I'll study if I play. And studying seems to be the right thing to do. But maybe playing soccer ain't such a bad idea since it's probably gonna be only just for 1 hour...

WE'LL SEE d[^_^]b

Keep the dream alive: Hit the snooze button.

Gahhhh

2010-07-18T22:14:00.004+08:00

Studying ain't fun. But I'm glad I completed my tutorials and homework. Packed all my geography notes too. It's time to study for geography, and it's the 2nd time I'm going to start studying geography. 1st time was for my promotional exams. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!

I'm probably gonna try out Sher/Alina's math tuition tomorrow. Sounds attractive, and if it works out, then math won't be such a worry. Best of all, it's quite near my house. For the first time, something's near my house!

Everyday is a day close to Prelims, and Alevels

AND FREEDOM \m/

Inception

2010-07-16T22:38:00.002+08:00

Inception was totally awesome!! The whole plot and action and all was just amazing. Kinda deeeeep though haha.

Choir celebration thingy tomorrow! I wonder what we'll do...

PE

2010-07-15T20:19:00.002+08:00

I think today's the most fun PE I've had in JC! Since most of us have passed our NAPFA, we're allowed to play soccer. First time we're so FREE during PE, and not running and jumping and pulling-up. And now my whole body's aching. Haven't been exercising ever since NAPFA test was over. Well, doesn't really matter cos it's OVER!! haha

Tomorrow's friday and Imma try my best to make good use of the day to study. Frankly speaking, I do miss choir practices and council meetings :( I feel so free now, cos there's no CCA, yet so constrained. Even if I had CCA, I doubt I'll go cos there's just too much to study and Prelim Exam's just in about 7weeks! HOW FAST IS THAT.

I miss going to school without worrying about studying. I miss going through school days while looking forward to CCA, or slacking sessions or outings. SIANXZ.

STUDY

2010-07-13T21:00:00.003+08:00

Studied in school library for like 3hrs plus today. Well, it actually felt quite good. After getting all my bad results (I'm shy so I won't say hehehe but trust it it's REALLY bad. Can't get any worse.), it's really time for me to study, and study really hard to make up for lost time. I don't wanna waste my 2 years in JC. And, I wanna build my hotel.

I used to think, there'll be time, I'll do it next time. Now I'm in next time, and I'm realizing that there isn't much time left. Time is running out.

NOOooo

2010-07-12T05:23:00.002+08:00

I can't seem to focus myself to study. A levels are coming really soon and I need to study! SA2 was really really bad. Can't get any worse. Time is running out.

STUDY

2010-07-01T10:04:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow's the last paper! Physics!

And there's OG outing after Physics. Awesome! Btw this OG was the one I took care of during this year's orientation. My awesome little kids!!!

Okay Imma try to stay away from the computer today. Computer is such a distraction from studying.

WISH ME LUCK!

Awww

2010-06-29T22:37:00.002+08:00

I'm so bored now. I sooo don't feel like studying but I still have my Chem and Phy paper. And I don't wanna fail all my subs =(

ns check up!!

2010-06-21T23:56:00.003+08:00

Tomorrow's my NS check up!

And I'm really afraid of the blood test thing. And it's gonna be sucha waste of precious study time! Imma fail my SAs man. The school's kinda threatening us JC2 choir members that if we don't do well for our coming exams, they won't let other batches of choir go overseas trips anymore! We'll be labeled as the batch who "won 1st in youth cat, 3rd in sacred cat in the International Krakow Choir Festival" as well as the batch who "caused all other batches to be unable to go for future choir trips"

School's quite busy this week. Choir concert's next Wednesday, overseas competition's next next wednesday, and council investiture is on thursday! Rehearsals and practices gonna fill up this week!

2010-05-19T06:50:00.001+08:00

HI EVERYONE

It's a Wednesday morning and I'm going to school early.

There's council investiture rehearsal today, which means I've to miss choir!

Anyway, 7 more days of braces only! And 14 more days to Choir Concert!

d[^_^]b

HIHI

2010-04-28T23:12:00.004+08:00

Choir today! It's like my first practice back in choir after missing soooo many practices. Missed part of today's practice due to council meeting though. Choir's fun today. The songs are taking shape and they're sounding GOOOOD.

Oh and I wanna thank my day planning committee for council camp, Zaki and Vicknesh for really helping and supporting me! And thanks to my bosses Guan Yan and Aaralyn for their help too! Really appreciate it! I wanna thank all councillors for helping out and giving their best d[^_^]b

Anyway, night study tomorrow. I really hope it'll be productive. Don't wanna end up stoning like last week.

I really miss coming for choir practices, and most of all, hanging out with choir people. Choir has really awesome people!

Jc

2010-04-27T21:13:00.000+08:00

JC life's busy. But there's fun too! Esp CCA. Council camp was just over. Had lots of fun. Really tiring period of time though. Lots of planning had to be done. But I'm glad it has all paid off. Now, I've to focus on choir. Concert and overseas competition coming in less than 2 months!

Gotta study hard too. I've been neglecting my studies. Had physics test today. I'm hoping I'll do reasonably well. Kinda studied for it.

I'm suddenly liking the 'sorry sorry' song. Really catchy! hahahahaha

Ahhh

2010-04-19T22:13:00.002+08:00

I've been very busy the past 2 weeks!

Lots of things to do for council. Camp's this coming Friday! Almost everyday is meeting + typing proposals for the past week. Well, every thing's finally falling into place after a week of blood, sweat and tears. Really really tiring, yet satisfying.

I've kinda been neglecting my tutorials and studies. Haven't been spending my time studying much. And choir too! I've missed quite a lot of practices due to council meetings, while concert and overseas competition is just 2 months away! Gotta really focus on them after this camp, since this will be our last project.

I'm really disappointed with my results. I don't wanna waste this opportunity!

Hi

2010-04-05T20:43:00.002+08:00

Hi everyone.

Got back a few of our results. Not really good, but I'll work harder!

Just went to the dentist today. She says I'll remove braces on my next visit! That's so awesome! But my teeth's hurting like crazy now. It's quite frustrating cos you can't really eat whatever you want. Or you'll have to eat it very slowly.

Anyway I'm tired so I guess I'll sleep early today. I'm gonna study tomorrow! haha.

alalalal

2010-03-26T21:57:00.002+08:00

Yay SA1's over. I don't think I'll do well though.

Choir's getting busier! Lots of preparation needed for the concert and the oversea trip! Can't wait for the oversea trip hehe. There's choir camp and council camp coming up!

Just had BBQ in school with the Orientation Camp Facilitators. Great people! But pity the BBQ was short haha.

I wanna watch HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON!

ZOMG

2010-03-18T23:21:00.001+08:00

Don't really feel like blogging today. Lazy haha. But since I've promised it, here you go!

ZOMG I just found a dam epic song. Shall say it another day =D

This holiday isn't really like holidays. I've been going back school for lessons and choir. There's choir again tomorrow, and it's my whole afternoon. I need to study!

And I want study buddies!

lalala

2010-03-17T23:35:00.001+08:00

Hi world.

I'll post tomorrow. =D

Oh man

2010-03-09T21:43:00.000+08:00

Sprained my ankle yesterday during PE. Went to see the chinese physician after school. He gave me 1 day MC to stop walking around. My ankle's a little better, but I still can't walk properly. I'm like limbering around la haha.

Hope my ankle will be fine by Thursday! Thursday's orientation camp! Yippeee! haha

Spent today studying at home. Studying alone at home is so boring.

I wan study buddies! d[^_^]b

Tomorrow's SCH

2010-03-07T23:16:00.002+08:00

Yay just completed an essay with over 1k words. I'm so pleased with myself. I did the essay over 5 hours though LOL. I've the best and awesomest GP teacher ever!

I've the best and awesomest OG too! Taken on the last day of orientation.

OG 24!

Click on the pictures to see more awesomeness!
I left the link to the picture so that everyone can see my awesome OG!

Peace out d[^_^]b

2010-03-05T22:58:00.000+08:00

I'll start this post on a sad note. I failed my Alevel Chinese. I'll have to retake Chinese this year again. Sianxzzxz to the maxxxzz.

Okay moving on, Choir was quite fun today. The songs are starting to sound nice too!

Played soccer in the choir room with the choir peeps while waiting to go for auditions. Really fun and crazy moments. Can't really explain cos you have to be in the moment LOL.

The main thing going on in choir now is the overseas trip. We've to confirm the number of people going, and currently the numbers aren't looking so good. I really hope more people will go =(

Ahh really tired now. I've work to do. Tuition + OGL training + choir practice tomorrow.

TGTF

2010-03-04T22:35:00.001+08:00

I've been twitting a lot. Twitter's quite fun actually!

Tomorrow's Friday!

We'll get getting back our chinese Alevel results. The JC2s will be getting back their Alevel results! Wishing everyone all the best!

I just hope I can pass Chinese. !!!!!

Choir tomorrow, and on Saturday. There's OGL training and my OG's planning an outing on Saturday too. Oh man.

And I don't really have much expectations of JC1 camp. Oh well. It's really down to us. Each and every one of us. =D

PLEASE PASS CHINESE.

HICCUPSuck.

2010-03-01T22:12:00.004+08:00

I've been having hiccups since yesterday! It's been going on and off. Really really annoying and well, torturous haha.

Well, nothing much today. Wanted to watch the JC1 Soul Night auditions but I had something on.

This was from Hweeyi's birthday somewhat last week.

Really tired today. Monday blueszxz hahahaha

SUNday

2010-02-28T20:53:00.005+08:00

The weather's really killer. Signs of global warming!

Watched 14 Blades with my family and relatives today.

Quite bloody and eeky sometimes because of all the killings and blood. But the show is really really nice. Special effects, story and all. Totally worth the bucks!

There's nothing much to spoil about the show though, cos the story's quite straight forward. The story revolves around the Jinyi Wei 錦衣衛, the secret police of the Chinese emperors of Ming Dynasty and it's mainly about betrayal, honor and a bit of love! Really awesome stuff. Go catch it!

Went to Xiaoli's house after the movie. Slacked and just chilled and fooled around with them. Throat, lungs, drums, guitar, and Karaoke! Didn't really do much though, spent more time just playing around haha.

Been listening to this song. Awesome! It's just so... soul-lish!

There's PE tomorrow! Rrrug-beee *trying to imitate Mr Nordin*

When I saw you over there
I didn't mean to stare
But my mind was everywhere I wanna know you

TGTF

2010-02-25T23:13:00.005+08:00

The title stands for TGtomorrow'sFriday hhahahaha.

Had class chalet on Tuesday!

Attendance was (i think) FULL! I'm serious! Some came after this picture was taken.

Yeap we're a bunch of happening kids HAHA. Class Chalet was really awesomely fun and meaningful. Personal sharing and all. Really really cool stuff! Next day was road run so all of us went school together. Well, not really together, but kinda together too. HAHAHA.

I think some of us slept for like 1 hour plus, so everyone was kinda stoning during road run. Those who slept the earliest slept only like 3 hrs, so everyone was pretty dead. Probably except Jasper, my class's muscleman who came in 5th place hahaha.

I had fun during this year's road run. I'm quite happy with my results too. Didn't do really really well, but I'm proud of myself hehehe.

Slacked in school with my OG after the road run. My OG's like the coolest OG ever! I don't really remembered what happened, but I think I was stoning most of the time haha. And I slept from around 630 to 615. Nope it's not a typo. Go figure hahaha.

Anyway, moving on to THURSDAY.

Met up with Jiayi Jonathan and Viyshnu to study after school today. Yes STUDY. We were originally studying at TPJLibrary, but the library closes at 6pm, which is REALLY early. Viyshnu didn't really studied. He just ate dinner and distracted us hehehehheh. We studied till around 930. Seriously.

I'm tired. I wanna sleeeeeeep. Good night peeps. d[^_^]b

THREESOME

2010-02-22T23:36:00.001+08:00

Haha I know the title is stupid.

Went on a shopping spree with Zachary and JuZhong after school today. Okay it's not a shopping spree at all, but I just wanna use the word. We went on a hunt for some orientation stuff, but more of like a price-check. Bought some really cool and awesome gadgets too! And shopping IS tiring. Seriously. Your legs ache like crazy + with a heavy sch bag.

Anyway, I guess we'll have to go back someday soon to get the items, and probably some other cool gadgets too hehe.

Okay Class chalet's tomorrow. SERIOUSLY. How awesome is this! My class is so happening!

PEACEout d[^_^]b

<:o)

2010-02-21T22:23:00.003+08:00

Yesterday's OGL training was ... Oh well. Must learn to control my temper :S

Spent most of today at Xiaoli's house. Met David for lunch. I overslept. I also realised I'm always oversleeping. This shall stop today haha. Okay no seriously. Azri came over and we kinda studied there. It wasn't really studying because I think we were singing most of the time. Someone starts and then everyone joins in haha. Anyway after our studying was throat, lungs, drums, guitars. Really enjoyed everything!

Gotta go do my GP homework. I just realised I've GP homework. DIE.

Just a random quote,

Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.

Okay,

Good Night. No seriously, seriously. d[^_^]b

TGIF

2010-02-19T22:07:00.003+08:00

YAY today's FRIDAY!

School was short today. I end school at 10am every Friday. Well, timetable's gonna change so maybe this Friday's the last 10amFriday I'll have haha.

Attended choir today! And I think today's the first time of the year where I stayed throughout the whole choir practice cos usually I had council meeting. Choir was quite enjoyable as usual, but sadly there's like a lack in guys! There's a great number of girls, but not enough guys to match up =(

Timothy fetched us to Tampines Mall today after choir! It's the first time I've taken a car out of school. Okay lame I know haha. Joel Goh aka big fry joined us for dinner. And he say he'll probably join us for choir next week hehehehehe.

Anyway, gotta go sleep soon. Really exhausted. There's OGL training tomorrow and ChiaHwee's steamboat! I'm finally gonna meet up with them after SOOOOOOO long!

To end off,

FALCON OGLS, there'll be a short meeting at 1200 outside council room on Saturday 20th FEB. Please help me to spread the message around to all Falcon Ogls d[^_^]b

Pictures!

2010-02-18T23:26:00.007+08:00

Well, tmr's Friday. Yipee! This week's a really short short week haha.

Stayed back, studied in school library after school with David today. The school library's kinda nice to study in! Quiet, and air-conditioned. The weather's a killer, seriously. Dinner-ed, chillax-ed at Tampines Mall with David and the arty people. And I just realised we're all from choir haha. CHOIR man!

I guess I'll just post some pictures taken these few weeks before going off!

Class picture taken during Snap&Tag day of Friendshipweek!

A really really funny picture! It's Mr Kuah's idea haha.

Snap&Tag day too!

And MINGJUN, XUANJIE, & KENNETH TAN TING WEI 's Birthdays were on the same day!

MingJun and Xuanjie's birthday celebration.

This is like the picture after 1 year. We took a similar group picture last year too haha. I miss hanging out with them! Everyone's been so busy.

KENNETH TAN TING WEI's birthday celebration. There was an insect in the cake. No joke!

There was kinda like an OG outing on Tuesday too! And we celebrated Jiayi's birthday!

Spent the day out with them. Really cool bunch of people! MY OG MATES! OG24! hahahaha

I've a piece of good news. I found my lost watch so I'm feeling kinda happy today. d[^_^]b

Okay gotta go sleep early. Choir's tomorrow! Choir's getting better hehehe.

2010-02-15T23:01:00.001+08:00

Firstly,

Happy Chinese New Year!

Nothing much to say today haha.

I guess I kinda understood that it's probably quite hard to understand things especially when you're not the one doing the work. Things don't always work out your way, so just give it your best shot, and everything'll be fine!

d[^_^]b

Hwee-yi!

2010-02-13T00:33:00.002+08:00

Just came back from Huiyi aka HWEEYI's birthday BBQ! It's been a really long time since I last saw the PeiHwa peeps!

Yiyang brought the wave board or whatever it's called. The one which looks like a skateboard but u can twist and turn so it'll keep moving. It's really really fun! And I've some what been able to ride it. hahaha.

Cabbed back with Yiyang. The taxi driver seriously has an attitude problem.And we went the long way home hehehe. Cab + midnight charge = killer price.

Didn't buy a pair of shoes today. I'll get it tomorrow! I'm not procrastinating! Slacked around today after school then went around with MingJun. We even toured Cheryl's house hahaha.

Anyway, I'll post some pictures soon. Gotta go bathe and sleep. I seriously stink now. Stink real bad. Tuition tomorrow morning! Weee

d[^_^]b

It's 1am!

2010-02-12T01:12:00.000+08:00

Well I decided to do a really short blog post before I go to sleep!

Oh and today's Joseph's birthday! Happy Birthday man!

Just complete my AQ. Wehoo! I feel so relieved. Didn't play blackshot today. Roy said it's lag-free. Can't wait to play it!

Dinner with some of my OG kids today! They're a bunch of really really nice and awesome people and I'm so glad that they're in my OG! Can't be more thankful for each and everyone one of them =D

I wanna buy a pair of new shoes! I'll probably get a new pair tomorrow. Oh and tomorrow's Huiyi's birthday BBQ celebration. Wehoo It's been a long time since I last saw them.

Okay I wanna go sleep. Time for my Beauty Sleep (Stacey taught me this).

CCA!

2010-02-10T23:17:00.000+08:00

Today's the first day of CCA for the JC1s! Well, I kinda missed the whole choir practice so I don't know what they did. Council had meeting, and we had to pump the balloons for tomorrow. There's like 700 balloons now in the council room ready for collection!

These few days has been really really busy and there's isn't much time for breathing. Well, OG outing tomorrow has been canceled, or postponed till a later date. I wanna try to buy a pair of new shoes, and that's all I'll buy for this Chinese New Year haha.

Lastly, and most importantly, today's MINGJUN, XUANJIE, AND KENNETH TAN TING WEI's 18th Birthday!

Happy Birthday to you guys! d[^_^]b

Song dedication

SUNNY day

2010-02-07T19:59:00.003+08:00

Missed my OG's outing on friday. Awww... =( Looking forward to their next outing!

School's getting busy. Council's getting prepared for Orientation Camp so there's planning to be done. Choir's also getting ready for the JC1 kids and for concert and for the overseas trip. Well, busy BUT FUN! I also need to spend more time doing my tutorials and studying. Been slacking quite a lot this week.

Moving on, today's a really really really hot day. The temperature given by my dad's car is 38 degrees. Crazy man.

Before I end, here's 2 pictures taken during CCA day on Wednesday! Join council hehehe

OHH, and I just realised this week's Friendship week! So, Happy Friendship Week! d[^_^]b

CCA DAY

2010-02-03T22:29:00.003+08:00

I'm really happy with my OG! They're really bonded together and it's really great. They're spending their breaks together and playing together!

CCA day today. Spent most of the time with some of the OG members. Went touring around the school with them. Really really enjoyed myself and I hope they had fun too! Oh, and I went shooting today! It's really quite fun. A pity I'll prob only experience shooting again during NS LOL.

I've a picture of my OG taken on the last day of Orientation but I'm kinda lazy to upload it now. I'll upload it soon, i promise!

Anyway, I guess I'm gonna sleep now. School's tiring. BUT lots and lots of FUN! hehehe.

d[^_^]b

Uh oh

2010-02-01T21:56:00.003+08:00

Went to tighten my braces today. And now my teeth hurts! It's torturous. U feel like eating something but u can't cos your teeth's too weak and pain. I ate porridge for dinner. How sad =(

Meet my OG today to pass them some papers and stuff. I'm really happy that they organised games for themselves and most, or maybe even all, stayed and played captain's ball together! I'm so proud of you OG24 my dear children! d[^_^]b

Helped to clean the council room for a while before going for choir practice. CCA showcase is on Wednesday. I really hope everything goes well.

I'm really tired today, and since I've no homework to do, I shall try to sleep early. Really really early. Like now hehehe.
