[ 281. The One With My First Book Out ]


Training to be soldiers
Fight for our land
Once in our life
Two years of our time

Have you ever wondered
Why must we serve
Because we love our land
And we want it to be free, to be free

Stand up
Be on your guard
Come on everybody
Do your part
Come on everybody
Give your soul and heart
Do it for our nation
Do it for our Singapore

Looking all around us
People everywhere
Children having fun
while we are holding guns

Have you ever wondered
Why must we serve
Because we love our land
And we want it to be free, to be free

[ 280. The One With My Last Civilian Day b4 Enlistment ]

today was a 'rush-hour' day for me... as usual had to go pray early in the morning. got nagged by my aunt who brought me there cos she couldnt contact me as i have lost my fone. i lost it after supper after vball game. talk abt the game, first time playing no4 position. fun!

after praying had to rush to lavender to buy army stuff... spent abt 35 bucks. got discount from the auntie cos i always buy red cross camp stuff there. :]

then rushed to have lunch with my friend at jack's place. wanted to treat me but we had a friendly money fight. lol. it was a memorable lunch and ate like 2 hours. if only every meal like dat, i would have been the happiest guy and a fat one! btw the brownie sucked. to my friend: i dun bare grudges ok! lol

then rushed to the karaoke centre at bishan, joined weishan, shu hui, yuhui, yingsheng to sing like mad. first time singing karaoke, feels gd... but bad to hog the mike. hope i didnt spoil their ear drums.

then tried to rush to pasir ris cos my grandmother wanted to pass me something and money. then i remembered i need to get my SIM card cos if not even with new phone, i cant make a call. so i dropped at tampines and to my horror, no m1 shop so i had to take a cab and rush down to sengkang. it was already 9.15pm. i was so scared the shop might close. then when i finally got the card, i took cab again to pasir ris. and after that i was too tired so i took cab back home again. :(

altogether abt 15 bucks on cab. but gd thing is lots of pple gave me money...

ok now the i-miss-you list...


you

Red Cross... from senior instructors to VIP 04 to cadets...to angeline to ex staff like shannen and ee ling

My NatCamp cadets

vball frenz like andy, fukang, mike, warren, dennis, james and many others

[ 279. The One With South District Camp ]

woke up early juz to make it for 12pm briefing but then in the end dun haf. felt so giddy maybe didnt sleep well. but lucky got Kat's febs tablets.

then in the afternoon awaiting the cadets, law sir shared wif me and the others abt his army days and gave me valuable survival tips and stuff to bring. it was indeed time well spent.

then managed to do abseiling, first time trying to climb down 3 stories at the campsite... revised my bowline knot.

so long nvr had a gd chat wif yu ching . glad that we are still at da same frequency. poor him... feel as lost as me.

america's next top model was yoanna... final 2 shld be shandi and yoanna. mercedes eeks.

then tue morning, woke up late as expected no time to take bus so i took a cab down to east coast park. wah $16.40. haha someone has to wake up alone.

the sch i was with had no motivation to win. lack of communication. no one was leading. simple map of popular locations like dhoby ghaut, city hall, bugis also dunno how to read. walked even slower than when i was doing recce. anyhow hum-tum the answer cos they nvr go briefing for the Quest. told them to manage their money wisely, in the end, $2 for lunch, they used 80 cents for cup noodles and $1.20 for Big Gulp at 7-11. some even ate into their transport fee... *faints*

i had to eat the same wif them except i nvr bought the drink cos every1 supposed to carry a water bottle with them. juz drink plain water la.

More stuff to buy: hangers of same colour. masking tape. wet tissue. ziplock bags.

so happy got pple buy dinner for me.

and i am finally 60KG!!!

[ 278. The One With A Blast ]

today woke up had to tell my mum i going for south district camp, she was like 'wat? u no nid to rest before going to army?'

haiz. i dun like to laze ard. so this morning went for the contact session of the volunteer instructor programme...

haiz i guess i was a bit edgy abt the white pants yesterday... oops talking abt it, i forgot to return edwin's pants!

talking to the new batch of trainees abt my experiences is pretty fun i guess... they looked excited :]

and one of the trainees also called john... mmm... next time when the instructors scolded that john, haha wonder if they would laugh...

then went to SPANS for vball matches... pretty exciting. too bad they didnt give out the oscars best acting awards sia... its damn tough to try to lose a game. especially when pple love to laugh after they supposedly missed a shot.

marina steamboat super fun too... lots and lots of photo taking... then went into arcade and play too... super crappy mood. oh muz thank a group of you guys who bought the wind breaker for me... thanks a lot.. so touched... :]

i miss u today...

[ 276. The One With Fed-Up ]

weird pple part 2. shanZ and yingsheng! i think i was right about something...

i waited whole night for a sms cos i nid to get back my white pants from a cadet for tml's event! now dun haf... arghz. tml is white top white bottom. i haf no choice but to appear in jeans. serves me right for asking so late and assuming efficiency

oh ya back to weird pple, yest at orchard i saw a guy who's a drag... eww... he got at least 2m with the high-heel shoes... plain gay.

oh well. tml besides popping by volunteer instructor programme in an obviously wrong attire, i'm going for vball competition! haiz, know abt dinner @ marina wif my fellow frenz but hopefully the matches end early. wonder if i have the appetite.

does it take longer to type an sms or blog?
i chose the latter, but it seems i am stupid to choose that.
[ 275. The One With Mad World by Alex Parks ]

lol. the song is nice but more imptly, there are weird pple ard! there's this 13yo girl from jurong pri added me in msn... and she wanted me to gif her my number???

speechless
[ 274. The One With Home Alone ]

oh wells, finally home. feels kinda weird. past week been a blast. after 3 hrs of tan on fri, i finally have tann-lines. lol. somemore no sun burn. :]

Now busy trying to get tips from seniors what other stuff i shld be bringing other than the standard pack list... so far, cd player, black permanent marker, black insulation tape... mmm... what else?

juz received letters from navy and air force... pretty interested in navy but heard from those who signed on with the army in general... most haf negative comments and advised me not to sign on... i wonder the bond last for how long... getting $1900 per mth and study allowances sounds good...

went for recce for South Quest, am i getting old? cos the rest of the guys walked so fast... oh yeah cant wait for South District Camp, dunno who else i would see... busy week again :]

late . i hope its a gd thing... but i feel bad.

Friday, December 03, 2004

[ 273. The One With Feeling High ]

oh, yesterday was pretty high and hyped up because of campfire and other stuff :]

memorable

i think its been so long since i attended a campfire so felt kinda weird at first... feeling a bit sian seeing them setting up campfire... cos everytime set up campfire, so might feel a bit sian, nothing new...

yesterday before campfire, went to watch Without A Paddle with my some of my Nat Camp cadets. Supposed to be a comedy but dun think i even laugh... mmm... lucky its 6.50.

saw a lot of familiar faces at PS...

had a very gd nice sleep... finally a deep one...

morning woke up late... lol. had nice breakfast... saw my sec sch friend with another girl too... mmm...

on my way home... first a crazy man asking for $ to go home... early in the morning? i was thinking u got all the time now to walk to wherever u want in singapore lo... then there was a woman with big bottom (sorry) who sat beside me in the bus... gosh she took up more than half of the seat. i couldnt get up cos she kinda pressed on my hip bone and if i stood up i'm like a bit mean. so just kept quiet, hopefully she would alight early.

sun is good, gym sounds exciting and i have to hunt for my PS game... arghz... awaiting 6pm... a week has passed... a week later i'll be in tekong! muahaha...

[ 272. The One With Piazza & Singapore Idol ]

oh we went to this restaurant at orchard atrium... cos there got TV showing Singapore Idol... reached there super early and stood outside waited for like 45 mins... lol. then when we reached we had to ask the waiter whether they will be showing singapore idol and whether if we seat inside will we be able to hear.

ordered fish and chips and brownie with ice cream. and in the end they served the brownie first... a bit shocked la cos i thought that was supposed to be dessert. but apparently, i forgot to ask them to serve later... hee i thot it was understandable...

haiz i still prefer sly's version of the single... oh well, cant wait to see the sales of taufik's album... today's biggest winner is the telecom operating centre... 3 million votes... teenagers have to work doubly hard to earn back the money they spent on voting... btw dick lee's composition was damn hilarious! shannen and satu kosong busy distracting angie from watching sly... table was almost flipped too. fun times...

and american idol starting in jan!!! but too bad i'm in tekong le...
haha. cant wait for shannen to sell the membership at tekong. lolx. sure lots of guys want her number...

for the kick, i voted for sly only once and this shannen has to play a trick on the confirmation msg which apparently was delayed due to overwhelming incoming of messages...

thank you for voting for sly. he's going to lose! YEAH

Also, didnt expect warren to miss me... haha. after so long nvr go down for vball... i bet he gonna tag he wasnt missing me... :P

Haiz... so sad my friend had to wait for an hour for me... felt so bad... shall make it up :]

i got my new residential phone number le... more chatlines available!

today camp was kinda sian at first cos the cadets i think slack too much... but after some fine tuning... they are better... maybe too small an unit so the camp dont have much impact. but 3 NCOs planning for the camp only, i think its quite a gd camp :]

Tuesday, November 30, 2004

[ 271. The One With Slacking Day ]

today's the first time i used up the 4 rides/per day of my concession pass... went to PS but the shop haven open due to stock taking... so i headed to lavender to buy some army tee, short and towel. they're comfortable to wear and cheaper than my sch PE attire! but then if drenched in sweat, its a different story.

then shop at PS before slacking at HQ to see what i could help...

early afternoon went to make my ATM card... lol. and today my first time drawing $. really can get addicted... many pple will think its weird not to have an ATM card, but for me when i need $, i wld ask my parents for it, so there wasnt a need for the card. now its different, i gg army to be a grown man. Image wise, i also morphed from a billabong wallet to a leather wallet :] all thanks to dennis laughing at me say i 18 already still carry tt kind of wallet. hey got sentimental value one ok...

then at PS had a shopping spree. bought lots of stuff... haiz every1 so busy, msg so many pple to watch movie with me but cant find. i saw my hc senior, chek wun and one of the j2 dance society member. bought some stuff for my friend also...

went to HQ saw a few familiar faces... annie the grumpy receptionist. rita, khai, angeline, doreen, cynthia, jorin, mizael, edwin, poh boon, ching huey, ambrose and i also helping out for SouthQuest, a heritage trail game... yeah. cant wait to roam abt under the sun. better be hot sun...

It's time to get down to serious business...

[ 266. The One With An Interesting Saturday ]

Today wanted a traditional breakfast at Ya Kun Kaya Toast... The company... the food... *sweet* Then went to Novena to explore Novena Square and United Square. So engrossed in talking that we missed a stop. Saw my classmate Reena at Novena Square and one of the PE teachers, Mr Arthur Lim at United Square, what are the chances?

Time flies and the next minute i was at the swimming pool. the sun was gd today... but sad that the sun tml at sentosa wont be as good... felt kinda bad couldnt go for the briefing but i guess i nid to enjoy some civilian life... only 2 pathetic weeks left.

juz received a letter from NUS and saw an array of talks scheduled... still thinking whether i should go... if i go, who should i find to go with me... i hope my maths wont disappoint me... *prays*

juz got to know i was freed from one of my red cross activities cos my help was not needed... *puzzled* i thot for help, its the more the merrier? oh well, nvm then i can have more time for punggol camp.

my mum also agreed to buy me a new hp once she gets her pay... for my efforts studying for A lvls. although not much effort, but i am so glad she's so supportive. I still remember i had a mood swing before my GP paper, was feeling super depressed, no mood to study. My mum told me to just try my best, enough to get to the university, its gd enough. oh, i felt so relieved and tt really motivated me.

[ 261. The One With Burning Truth ]

There is something i need to tell someone... but i dun think its the time yet. Juz like anyone else, i worry of the consequences of saying it out. should i? i am so vexed. before i get that 'mutual' feeling, i juz i shall let myself burn :]
[ 260. The One With Sian-sation ]

oh well. morning wasnt sian at sentosa. saw a few red cross cadets (cedar and victoria) but dunno they got outing or wat. vball games there were alright i guess, with the hot sun is always fun.

but i injured my neck... sian. feel uncomfortable and irritated...

then went to indoor court but nvr play la, as the usual crazy me i went to study. (can study there meh?) aiya every1's fave question... but at least i wont die of boredom studying at home. i can study with noise. and thot of going supper with my clique but haiz something happened so i had to take bus home.

dread that feeling man. muz admit, i am the kind of person whom i cant live happy without friends... i cant live w/o friends! so if u nid accompany, i can fly down even to jurong... but then today i had to travel alone home, wait for the bus for like 20+ mins, buy supper back and eat alone. on the bus? the cold and hungry me have to tolerate some indians who came on the bus and played a fool. with the tv mobile showing delicious food when i am dying of hunger. and so 'lucky' to meet a bus inspector at 11+pm. i wanted to have company for supper but no choice there were unforeseen circumstances...

haiz. too depressed to type liao, too sleepy to study. i'm so not myself today. and with the haunting thought that i didnt do well for my maths. haiz. 2 more papers. i can last but deep inside me, i feel sad. but who will know?

Saturday, November 20, 2004

[ 259. The One With Shutter ]

oh well, went to watch the movie with my friend. hee.. had a great time :] thx ar, if ya reading this. PS to orchard to marina bay then back home.
erm, its kinda scary, but it would worth the 8.50 more if u are a girl. :X
some parts of the show i guessed it correctly... lol.
judging from the movies available now, i think its worth watching. unless u like the incredibles so much... lol.

shant reveal spoilers here. but i still think the forgotten rawks. haha...

but this happened during their shooting: (the actress relates...)

'Once, we were doing trial runs for this driving scene where Tun was at the wheel and I was supposed to be talking to him,' she says of the scene shot in an area notorious for car-accident fatalities.

'We were supposed to have three acting extras dressed as ghosts standing at intervals along the road. My cue to talk was when the car had passed the first one,' she continues in an eerie tone of voice.

'When we passed the first actor, I started talking but I did not see the other two who were supposed to be there.'

When the car stopped, she asked the directors where the other two extras were and was told that all three had been in another van doing make-up all along.


but the scene was not used eventually.

saying 'cheese' is scary
[ 258. The One With The Sick Me ]

woke up friday morning... puking like crazy. my paper (chem paper 1) was in the afternoon and i was so weak to walk to the bus stop... brought books but cant study. so lucky i read up the night b4. I was feeling sad cos none of my classmates came to ask if i was alright. i am not an attention seeker la but my face was really pale and i spent most of the waiting time resting my head on the table. haiz. so much for being classmates.

the feeling of wanting to vomit plus the headache took a toil on me. then my limbs started to feel numb... then i managed to finish the paper on time, lucky for me some questions were in the 10-yr series so i juz wrote the answer without having to think. first time i did my mcq paper so slowly. :(

most of my friends said it was difficult. well, i find it ok la. definitely there are a few new and difficult questions but perhaps i have seen a few in the TYS. well finally chem is over... now left bio...

after my paper, i went to see doc at amk polyclinic. haiz, it's still my sec sch frenz tt showed concern. saw me on the bus and asked whether i was ok...

what u guys think about this?

[ 255. The One With Jack Neo and Mark Lee ]

Anyone here finds both mark lee and jack neo unbearable? please raise ya hand... i noe i did. I was having dinner and the 8pm show started. wanted to switch channel but well my 16yo-cheena-simple minded sister whined and warned me not to change channel. i was like 'wtf', u are willing to waste 1 hr of ya life watching the so-called 7th season of homegrown variety show.

Does mediacorp have any quality control? The show gets pple who are celebrity look-alike and went all the way to hunt for them in malaysia. in the end? all the 3 today dont even look like jackie chan, faye wong, celine dion as they proclaimed. and whats with jack neo finding problems understanding who's celine dion? is he so ignorant or hard of hearing? and whats with mark lee saying 'oh no, she dont look like celine dion, she looks like lion dion' -_-...???

to think jack neo opening up classes for scriptwriting when i had to shake my head in disbelief while watching his new drama adapted from his low budget movie 'the best bet'. Also, at the same time mark lee getting best comedian is nothing but a big joke of the century.

ya, they may have movies that go all the way to malaysia, hong kong, or even china, but they dont appeal to me... nice try for trying to make it big but i heard from my taiwanese friend that they stopped showing shows by jack neo team there cos they found it too boring and unoriginal. i rest my case.
[ 254. The One With Less Pimples ]

less stress => less pimples

i got 6 days break before my maths paper and i had sadly slacked for 5 days. Muz eat chocolate tml again for the endorphin which will make me feel happy even if tml's paper gonna be hard.

lol. shanz said '... you looked terribly stressed up just now.' on the day i have bio and maths. and my friend andy had to say '... better practise your math hor!' thanks for all the concern.

yesterday was vball whole day. in the court came a 'vase'. why vase cos the person juz stand there and look pretty. lol. cos the person is new to the game so dunno how to play. atmosphere so tense and plus the few missed shots becos of the vase, its no wonder every1 started flaring... but i understand how he feels, cos i was one last time... but hey if u r keen and keep practising sure can improve...

[ 252. The One With Lyrics ]

a very nice song...

Rie Fu- Life Is Like A Boat (ending theme of Bleach)

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who's gonna comfort me and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves will guide you through another day

Tooku de iki o shiteru
Toome ni natta mitai
Kurayami ni omoeta kedo
Mekaku shisareteta dake

(I know we have so far to go
Within the connections I see
Thoughts of darkness, and so
I adjust my mask of serenity)

Inori o sasagete
Atarashii hi o matsu
Asayaka ni hikaru umi
Sono hate made e

(I offer up a prayer
And wait for a new day
In the brilliance of the shining sea
Until there is a shore)

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don't give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you will follow me and keep me strong

Hito no kokoro wa utsuri yuku
Mukedashitaku naru
Tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de
Fune o tsureteku

(People go fishing in their hearts
And have become deceitful
Again a new cycle of the moon
Brings someone into my heart)

And every time I see your face
The oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can see the shore

Ah, I can see the shore?
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along
I will follow you and keep you strong

Tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku
Odayaka na hi mo
Tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de
Fune o terashiasu

(Still, the journey continues on
Even on a gentle day
Again a new cycle of the moon
Sends a shine into my heart)

Inori o sasagete
Atarashii hi o matsu
Asayaka ni hikaru umi
Sono hate made e

(I offer up a prayer
And wait for a new day
In the brilliance of the shining sea
Until there is a shore)

And every time I see your face
The oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can see the shore

Unmei no mune o kogi
Nami wa tsuki kara tsugi e to
Watashitachi o osou kedo
Sore mo suteki na tabi ne
Dore mo suteki na tabi ne

(To the uncertain fate of the heart
The waves are stages of the moon
To us it seems as if
It's a wonderful journey
What a wonderful journey)

yesterday i finally learnt not to take technology for granted... have you tried to download msn installation pack? on an average broadband/cable, it takes less than a min... but i had the chance to download using a 56k modem. and it took me an agonising 45 mins. plus using a com less than pentium two, installing what i downloaded was even more excruciating. have you wondered has technology made you a worse person? i know it did to me, i become less patient even though i still can tolerate waiting for pple, but to tolerate slow speed,i would definitely feel edgy.

Also, something struck my mind... how many of us actually store our friends' numbers elsewhere like writing them down? i am the few that relied on technology too much, i was wondering if i lost my phone then what abt my contacts... ya, u may say i can go online and ask the numbers from my friends again, or send an email. but that's technology again. i have cases where i only have numbers of my friends but no idea how to find them online, no email, etc...

Furthermore, how many of us would actually exercise especially when there are no more PE lessons? Sometimes, a simple jog or a trip to gym is hardly on the minds of busy working class and students. I have friends who go gym three times a week to tone their physique. It is also a form of disclipline which i am going to commit after my A lvls. May seem too late but u've got to start somewhere. So guys, remember to exercise despite your busy schdeule. Actually even if you have tons of things to complete, a few hrs of exercise will make you more alert and more productive. Like for me, mon chem paper, sun i had a few hours of volleyball, but i was energised and definitely more alert on mon.

[ 250. The One With GCE (A) lvls ]

yeah. after so long i finally can take a breather and blog. shall start with GP paper ba on 4 Nov, Thursday . i think it proved to be quite a shocking paper, or rather both papers to some of the students. cos the topics to choose frm didnt really fit wat we have studied and planned for.

This year strangely has only 1 social question and only 2 questions on singapore.

1. To what extent are the young in Singapore favoured at the expense of the elderly?

2. Are the poor an inevitable feature of any society?

3. Do the past and present offer any guidance for the future?

4. 'How inventions and discoveries are used is not the concern of the scientist.' Do you agree?

5. 'People, not the government, should decide how to organise their lives.' Is this a fair comment?

6. How far is recycling the answer to the problem of waste?

7. Can small countries have a significant voice in world affairs?

8. Advertising encourages a desire for products which people do not actually need. Discuss.

9. Have multi-national businesses had a positive or negative impact on your society?

10. Discuss the appeal and value of fantasy stories and films.

11. Discuss the importance of religion in society today.

12. 'Far too much attention is given to beauty products and treatments.' Do you agree?

phew... so wat would u choose? lucky i had a lot of examples that geared towards qn 9 abt MNCs. i wasted 15 mins at first doing essay plan for the poverty question... then i changed so wasted quite some time... somemore i was sitting in the first row and the fan kept blowing in my direction. contacts so dry and burr... so cold.

lucky not many people do the same question as me...

well, just when we think paper 1 was hard, paper 2 even harder... Passage 1 about choices. Passage 2 about destiny... so philosophical type of passages.

'Alongside the increased prosperity which is gradually, but all too slowly, spreading across the world, has been a movement (arguably not unconnected with this increase) away from centralised, totalitarian forms of government towards democracies...'

What is the author trying to imply by 'arguably not unconnected with this increase'?

-_- most of the questions now asking what the author trying to mean, what contrast, contradiction they tried to show. the effort and skill to rephrase the idea with your own words are so different from O lvl where you can substitute word for word.

but overall, i think i fare better than my prelims :] so pray hard i can prove my GP tutor that he's wrong to fail me all these while. haha.

then it was chem paper on 8 Nov, Monday . The paper easier than prelim and i think i did quite ok. juz that the food chemistry was kinda tough cos i missed out studying the colour of meat. 3 marks gone :( praying for an A for chem...

then came today the most-headache day of my life. 9 Nov, Tuesday . Biology core paper in the morning from 8-10am and then maths paper 1 from 2-5pm.

oh, i was almost late today cos i missed the bus 86. so have to take 159 and have to walk a long distance cos the back gate wasnt open... holiday le still dun wan to open... i had to run quite far to the front gate. but there was this very kind lady who was driving and she stopped and lowered the window. 'Hey, you want me to give you a ride to your school?' i was stunned but nevertheless, the gesture really touched me. but i dun wan to trouble her so i thanked her and continue running. i felt so delighted and it really made my day. even though i reached school 5 mins b4 the paper, not having enough time to read my notes, i still felt quite good.

the paper was quite ez, there was no question that was too hard to answer. but the easier the paper, the more prone i am in making careless mistakes. lucky i didnt study so hard for bio, cos a lot of stuff didnt come out. but sad that i also didnt spend much time studying maths...

i went to have a volleyball game on sun, the day before my chem paper. lol. ya many would think i am crazy. but it really relieved stress for me... and last minute cramming no use, cos what i read at night never came out for exam...

then yesterday also went to play a bit wif my friend. started reading bio only like 8pm. lol. but i got all my notes ready so juz nid to read again.

maths paper was ok. supposedly an ez paper but as usual, my maths so lousy that even ez questions i also have problems. only paper 2 can save me. so now i have 6 days to practise.

i was so tired after bio, i had to take a nap and woke up like 12+ to study for maths. quite surprised i still able to survive the paper even though i didnt memorise much of the formula. mentally drained

now that half of the heavy papers are done with, i am more relaxed. so now shall take a short break and relax myself for such a hectic day today. who put biology and maths on the same day should be shot! those taking physics only have more time to prepare. cos physics is next week! :(

[ 249. The One With Yanzi's Cd ]

As usual the crazy me got up early in the morning ard 11am on 30/10 and rushed to compass point to see if yanzi's cd was out. but no. so dejectedly, i went to buy lunch and go home. then around 2, i going to meet my friend, so i went to check again, and saw a lot of pple left the shop, so i was grinning...

lol they haven got the time to unpack, a lot of customers queuing... and i got my CD... so happy but dunno why. i not tt crazy over her... perhaps cant wait to hear her cd? but first time i heard it was rather plain... but the more i listened to it, the better it got. :]

nothing much happen in my life except feeling jittery that GP is on thur... o level started today... these few days i did nothing but chemistry... haiz.

haha made new friends @ the vball games... juz realised some1 birthday same mth and same interests into gross stuff... :]

oh yeah, i got free incoming call all day... haha. u guys can call me le. but at moderation before nov 25. after that, u can call me all day i also dun mind. haha.
cant wait 27 days to A lvl completion.

[ 247. The One With Quotes ]

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.

The quickest way to receive love is to give love.

The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.

And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.


juz found out that one of my juniors quit ajc. and he hated the sch so much more than me. his classmates are worse than mine. feel sad for him. if i hadnt held on, i think i'll do the same like him last yr. but his case doesnt allow him to and i support his decision. i thot i was the only one harbouring hatred but i'm discovering more everyday.

well reading his entries really brought out a lot of anger and emotions in me. can totally relate. and since he's not in the sch... the language and words he used. woah. *thumbs up* lol.

anyway, those who are j2 next yr, continue to succeed and prove me wrong that there's nothing worthwhile in _jc... except the caring teachers. and those lucky enuff, classmates.

[ 246. The One With The Grudge ]

actually this post is more of a rojak cos i got quite a few things to say.

those who have watched the original ju-on would have either one of the reaction...

1. find it a waste of money cos its close to the original version, only that u no need to read the subtitles or,

2. find it a better version cos its more concise and the director added a few more scary scenes and 'ghosts'.

watch the movie only if got nothing else to watch or just feel like screaming out loud or u are a fan of Takeshi Shimizu (director) or Sarah Michelle Gellar or hunger to see a dude (Jason Behr) or u just simply missed the little boy and his mother Toshio and Kayako by Yuya Ozeki and Takako Fuji. *look behind u and under ya blanket* lol. enuff reasons to catch the show? haha.

oh ya. today i realised the chem prac haf been leaked out. but not my sch cos we are equally lost with the practical. one sch had it in their last yr prac test and the teachers 'recommend' them to buy from bookshop. lol. there were other schools too. but cant mention here. but i got friends there can testify. lol. got 1 leaked out the apparatus for bio... i mean like that isnt it kind of unfair? somemore its a national exam. haiz. wat to do? SBA (school-based assessment) also cant be that fair either...

oh i got so many plans after my A lvls. like setting up alumni club for my sec sch? or even organise some fun educational trails for students from my sec sch. can be re-used for my red cross camp also... time for me to contribute again. hee... cant wait. my frenz said i am crazy to like to do such things... but dunno la, i find it a joy and challenge. i also dream of joining the community chest... be part of the community and improve the environment and pple welfare of my estate... really can relate to princess diaries... be a part of the community so that ur views and suggestions can be heard...A lvls faster finish.. then i can get on with my plans. feels great and liberating... :]

i like singers who sing with their hearts, or even better compose songs that are endearing. i dun really like jay zhou cos his songs are like muffled and lots of lyrics... lol but today saw his video on one of his songs 'grandmother'. it was so sweet that he had this song abt his grandmother... i admire pple who embrace their talents and his is definitely song composition. but i think he needs to do something different... did the sales for his recent album soar? i dunno...

shanz if u are reading this, dun be too sad abt wats happening. actually long time ago i got something i nid to tell you but cannot find a right time. catch up with you soon k? stay strong :]

[ 245. The One With Farewell ]

today my sec sch had a farewell assembly for our principal and vice principal... got the sms chain last night, didnt have time to buy presents so i went early today, also to check out yanzi's cd but was told the stock got delayed...

then was so honoured to present flowers to the principal... its kinda rare to be in close terms with principals cos you only see them when u are either facing serious disclipinary problems or transferring to other schs and stuff... i got more to say abt the principal cos the VP joined us when i was sec 3. so not much encounter.

i still remember i would go to her office and talk to her, tell her some of my problems and some suggestions i think the sch can do and she always think through and give her earnest replies. when she talks to you, it feels like my mum is speaking to me, not all that formal and u wont even feel nervous. of course maybe she slightly soft-spoken than my mum. my mum's a loudhailer. lol. those who know my mum can testify that. :X

i still remember when my results took a serious dip in sec 3. first time failing my higher chn and a maths, i got to speak to her cos she was concerned with me and i'm glad to see her cos she would never fail to motivate me. I believe thats why the first batch did so well. During crucial period before the prelims and o lvls, she somehow has the magic to boost our morale and make us want to excel for ourselves and for the school. strangely even though my current jc principal does that, the effect not there. juz gif me the feeling of an 'authoritarian' and the person who would make an appointment with you and not read your proposal -_-

now that the P and VP are going... and some teachers also leaving... dunno whether the ex-students will still be as enthu in coming back. somemore with the influx of new teachers... i hope the new principal which looks like a gd guy also kinda affable cos i managed to strike a conversation with him...

then volunteered to go on stage to say something. so malu and impromptu but heck la, dare to go up the stage gd enuff le, somemore only facing juniors and teachers who i'm familiar with. i miss the sch... definitely will go back to do relief teaching if i am able to make it. lol.

oh... i got new visitor to my blog. haha.. thanks for giving me advice of learning things the hard way. i'm juz glad that my 1st 3 mths frenz are closer to me than my 1yr 8 mths frenz. orh, do i really haf frenz in ajc, i dunno. more of companions to last the lessons thru'out the day. sad case right? haiz i think i will die if i have 100% attendance. i always envy those who has such cool classmates tt would make me look forward to school everyday. feeling sad when i had to leave my sec sch. *clap* cant wait to leave ajc. tts why i look forward to A lvls. :]

juz like before chem prac i msg some of my classmates which lab we are in for the practical exam. only 2 knew out of the 10+ pple i asked. the rest juz say dunno leh... tml go check lo... -_- ya i only misplaced my piece of paper if not i wldnt have asked. waste my sms. haiz. i dun think they really nvr go look at where they are going to sit and which lab they are in. or look at the bright side, they also lose the paper where they jotted down which lab they are in. but i think i'm a pessimist.

haiz poor chris got booted out today... i thot leandra wld go out, because of her, i haven eaten noodles for a long time. :X

oh ya my sec sch english hod so happy that GP starting next week. sian. and i'm all jittery...

[ 244. The One With Chemistry Practical ]

slept at 2am, bz cramming last min stuff...

then board the bus at 715 which is scheduled to arrive at 745, just nice for the exam at 8am. but who knows i forgot the entry proof, haf to alight and go back and get... in the end, late... refused entry to the exam venue... haiz

wat? before u are equally shocked, the stuff in paragraph 2 was my nightmare... i broke up in cold sweat at abt 6+ then tried to go back to sleep but cant. the nightmare is so real.

anyway, i did make it on time but at 745. then when i reached the hall packed with pple, i think i'm the last one to arrive. cos just as i put my bag, my tutor used the mike and called my name... i think the 100+ pple in the hall will know me overnight. malu sia. i actually have to report at 730. but last time i arrived at 730, i was mistaken as a latecomer... so i decided not to clash with the assembly time. last time when i was early, also have to sit and wait until abt 8. sianz.

anyway, the prac to my relief was rather easy. it gave me a feeling that it's easier than my prelims. so again, i was happy wif my paper. got one question which i thought only nid to plan so i left it till the end, but who knows i misread it. i actually need to carry out the experiment also. so no time to do, i juz estimate the value and the conclusion. lucky for the cramming at 2am, i was correct! or at least partially correct.

hee... so happy... definitely a gd start to my A levels. I hope my papers will be as easy and smooth sailing. i want to go the course i like and i noe also many are eyeing for NUS... :(

yeah dinner @ jap restuarant and i am going to watch 'the grudge' with a special friend. lol.

[ 243. The One With Get Real! ]

oh caught the show on CNA, today's issue was on adultery... i think it is one of the best shows that is screened compared to senseless variety shows like the 8pm one wif jack neo and mark lee... they are still at their 7th season albeit with the overused idea and worn-off novelty still on. gosh. spare me from mark lee's lame jokes and him maundering bad chinese. to think that gurmit was bad enough for hosting the singapore idol, i think he has met his match.

okay back to quality show with diana ser. i think she's a pretty gd host. versatile and effectively bilingual. dun u think so? she has this prima facie look of a host with 'air' of professionalism, blended with sophistication and it lasts!

anyway, they had interviews with different people. with a private investigator, a woman whose divorce ensued after finding out that her husband had an affair, another woman who knew her husband committed adultery but still holding on to the relationship, a 19yo teenager whose dad walked out of the family when he was 16. last but not least a husband who confessed to his wife about his 'CCA'.

strangely how come there is no interview with women who cheated on their spouses. i believe there are a few cases maybe not so common. i think those who have extra marital affairs really undermined the meaning of marriage and the committment involved. Those who walked out of their family are equally egregious. They not only cause psychological unrest to their spouse but also to the children (if they have). I pity those women who had to stay with their husbands, knowing that other women have slept with and under the arms of their husbands. why? all for the sake of the children, to keep the family together, juz for appearance. I see such adultery as a crime committed within the family (social crime. new term?). even though men are fractious and horny creatures, but i just cant stand the lack of self control and not knowing where their faithfulness should lie. Some women even had to have children in order to keep the family together, then these kids are really born in a 'salah' way.

what makes a man think he can afford to have another family especially in Singapore where standard of living is so high. its not like playing monopoly where u can lay out your assets and take more than u can swallow. Those who dun intend to have a mistress but decides to fool around seriously need self-reflection. they may juz catch some diseases and spread to their wives.

Now i know why man is such a dangerous creature when he has only one brain and one penis. cos blood can flow in one way, when it goes down, they do foolish things without thinking. apart from that, if they face stressful lives, they have erectile dysfunction. how true right?

if i can say this, i would definitely stay faithful to my spouse. i want to be a gd father and give my children even more than what my dad has given me. oh ya since some men have money to keep a mistress why not they use the money to 'adopt' a child in poverty?

Well like what diana asked the public, i'll ask the same.

if you found out that your spouse cheated on you, would you forgive him/her? why?

for me, i would. even though it may sound absurd for a guy to face such issues but women now are equally capable :] i believe if a relationship goes wrong, both sides sure have something to work on. even though u may think u haf given a lot and tried to compromise, but perhaps were u too possessive? or were u lacking in being decisive? do u try to have surprises (pleasant ones)? and the idea of since my spouse is having affair, then i shld haf one. this way of getting back at your spouse is simply crazy. get a life.

oh well. 2 weeks raining at sentosa. sian. try this: put onion and chilli on a satay stick if u are running an outdoor event and scared it may rain. it will work! for my project on link fun day, it was raining quite heavily until we put the satay stick, the rain stopped! :]

beach vball definitely different (method) and more difficult than indoor volleyball except the fact that 2 players for beach vball, 6 for indoor.

it feels gd to exercise and at least it trains my agility when it comes to thinking. dun think vball so ez, just stand there wait for ball to come... the concentration and alertness throughout the game can burn u out mentally.

well nid to go sch and approach tutors for some guidance. the one thing i hate is to step into the sch. yucks.

i must say it feels gd to be able to wake up at 10am... school should start late. lol.

oh yeah, they sang my fave song, my prerogative... cant help moving along the song. olinda's voice forever so manly.. cant stand it.

hee.. suddenly remember my bottle of vodka haven drink yet. oops. today on the mrt overheard one guy act 'sut' said 'alcohol is alkaline'to his friends. lol. tempted to correct him but not my problem la so just pretend to sleep.

wish list:
a set of dumb-bells
SYZ's album on 29th
get my water bottle back cos i left it in the lab :(
[ 239. The One With A Level Biology Practical ]

yeah.

lol guess u guys know how the prac turned out to be. when i reached school like 730am where the teachers are like hound dogs catching latecomers, i was yelled at by this fierce phy teacher, mr patrick lim... he kept asking me to walk faster but i deliberating walk slowly. i'm no j1 le... then when i told him i was j2, he then smiled at me and wished me good luck and asked me to proceed to the hall. -_-

the tension in the hall juz too much. every1 mugging their thick set of notes... lol. i practically lost most of my practical notes... but heng i got just the important ones, hwa chong's block test 2 and prelim practicals.

i was eager to see the invigilator cos i thot it would be bio teachers and maybe a chance to see my 1st 3 mths teacher, but in the end no. to my surprise, the teacher was from NYJC, a GP teacher, why i know? cos she's a teacher-trainee in my sec sch and taught me b4. lol. dun dare to talk to her cos i think its not allowed.

staring at the appartus on the table was really scary. cos there are just so many things and once i saw the leaf specimen, i knew its photosynthesis and the lamp, i knew definitely its about light intensity and the need to design an experiment. but heng i read through. then i saw the histology slide - kidney! i also laughed out loud.

when i flipped open the question paper, i saw the first few questions of 15 marks, i almost shouted 'yes'. the questions were the same for hc practical exams. no plant histology! which i got like 2/18 for my prelim practical.

then the last question was about counting rice grains and a genetics question. i think i was too rushed for time that i forgotten the term 'incomplete dorminance' haiz...

this yr paper though is definitely easier than last yr but really nid to read closely... some of the questions were asked in a weird way and i dunno whether i read carefully.

but overall, definitely will score better than my prelim, so no pressure for me. but my friends were pretty worried.

watched singapore idol, happy that chris finally chose the right song... woo... maia and olinda should go together. bitch and butch. wats up with olinda saying 'i want to marry a guy...'? trying to prove to others she likes guys? and gain acceptance? wear short skirt then say. lol

i think daphne or leandra will go tonight... even though i seriously think maia by statistics shld go... dunno where the sudden outburst of fans come from?

oh well, caught sky captain and same thing lo worth 6.50 only i guess... not very nice la but if u watch it on vcd the effects not there. the movies showing now are such a bore. yawnz...

during the movie, there were 3 ang mos sitting beside me. they kept talking, giggling and teasing each other. damn pissed off... they tried to finish the sentences of the characters in the movie. and when jude law appeared, they would scream his name. wanted to ask them to shut up but haiz dun think i wan to create trouble. the 2 girls were sitting with their legs up on the seats in front of them.

ok hope this wont be a super long post. lots of happening... well sunday morning sentosa... first time the sand feels so hot that we have to wear slippers to play. enjoyed my whole afternoon cos i was playing in top form... played against pple there, so fun and challenging...

then went for indoor court... finally get a feeling of gd spike. shall practice more but look out for my hand, dun wan to injure it during exam period.

then today mon, had to go back for GP. my tutor got something on so couldnt meet me when i came at 8... -_- think he haven marked finish the papers. then met him during break for review of my prelim essay. well expected... shoot me until i got nothing to say. as usual bloody fierce, pms-ing. kept saying i no content of course fail. and when he said something of course i have to nod and acknowledge... he kept saying dun juz nod and do nothing about it. i mean wat else u wan me to do at tt time? asked me whether i have asked my friends for help... haha its GP here not like maths lo. u ask them how to do well in GP. my frenz would say oh its a build-up thing, language hard to perfect at last min... if not its always luck that they claimed as the reason to do well... at this time, i rather ask some other GP tutor, at least they are more objective... when u ask your tutor, he will noe my mistakes and keep harping on them, kinda stereotype u liao... but at leat he gave me some pointers despite using a harsh tone on me.

well acjc prelim paper damn tough, sure get screwed again. most pple cannot finish. i was no exception. came across the word 'oxymoron' but never checked out wat it actually meant. so had a hard time understanding the paragraph. haiz. nvm heck it.

then my friend's bdae so treated me to watch movie, weird huh... the exorcist... wah boy the movie is really more gross than scary. a lot of stuff about Christ and prayers. quite a nice movie but starting part i could juz fall asleep. better eat before u watch cos later sure no appetite. its worth 6.50... 8.50 i dun think so.

then went to eat 'ma2 la4 huo3 guo1' spicy steamboat, famous in taiwan. lol. very nice. 2 people, bill came up to be about 50 bucks. wah. lol.

then went to bugis and guess who i saw? david yeo from singapore idol. he looks better with his new goatee... but he is such an attention seeker... i saw him leaving parco but then when i went to the food junction at the basement, i saw him walking back to the shops... then when i came up from the food junction area, i saw him with girls dying to take photos with him. no wonder he got time to shop and gain a few minutes of fame, cos others are busy recording and rehearsing for thur's show... the girls go nutz over him - an idol reject. i also dunno why. maybe only sec sch girls can understand...

[ 233. The One With Farewell Assembly ]

oh the farewell assembly bored me... when they ask us to rise for the arrival of the GOH so many pple didnt stand up. lol. well the prize ceremony took up most of the time, my frenz and i were bz bitching abt the event, the 2 MC so short and act cute, cant see them cos they are blocked by the rostrum...

besides feeling a little pissed being left out at the prize giving ceremony, i heard my friend hu got a merit award also got 'screwed' by the PE dept. aiya forever PE dept... give up hope liao. they put my friend and another of same cca in small letters on the notice board cos they think both did not deserve the award... actually they both frm youth flying club then they were accused of flying during lesson time... aiya, i told my friend, u dun nid an award to prove ya leadership... for me, even though i may haf discipline probs in sch, i am confident of my leadership juz tt i dun like the sch so most probably the attitude me juz came out... i bet those getting merit award, especially those from visual arts... computer club... then they fully deserved the awards? lol by being guai kia (good boy/girl).

and the sch seriously got problems wif my CCA name... we already changed it to Rhythmic Movement and i corrected them so many times, yet they still want to label us as Health and Fitness Club... Aiya, close us down not enough still insist on using the *yucks* name... really cant stand the sch... i still super angry wif the sch... we did a proposal to keep the CCA and they didnt even want to read. what the hell...

and wat is the worst thing to happen during farewell assembly? having two scholars giving speeches... almost bore me to death... oh ya one of the 'uber bitches' going overseas to study... lol shock to hear australia... i thot china :X she gave us sweets and chocolate writing small notes like 'forgive my mistakes' and stuff... my frenz and i were like 'oh u actually knew ya a pain in the ass'.

then another one gave chocolate also, give us each a small note... mine she wrote something like... 'yo!! well didnt really get to noe u well... kinda regret it...( of course, she's foreva sticking to her bf... rem the pet dog i told u. lol) dont really noe u but to me... you're e kind of guy who is just so easy going!

[ 232. The One With Last Day of School ]

oh today marks the end of tutorials and lectures in my JC life... we saw all our tutors for the last time... busy copying away the answers to questions we attempted long time ago... lol. oh ya my pd tutor smiled and greeted me today. i was stunned so i juz smiled... is it because its the last day of school?

during GP was so stressful... he came to me and analysed my answers... say i not following closely to the passage... muz be detailed in my answers... getting louder each time he said something. i mean if i am gd at it, my GP already A1 liao... like dat who dare to ask him...

every1 in class was broke... haf to pay so much for notes and stuff... 7 bucks for chem, 5 bucks for GP and money for present for teachers and stuff... haiz...

anyway here's a joke to liven up your day... sent from my dear friend... lol

A young man asks his father, "Dad, how many kinds of breasts are there?"

The father, surprised, answers, "Well, son, there are three kinds of breasts.

In her twenties, a woman's breasts are like melons, round and firm.

In her thirties to forties, they are like pears, still nice but hanging a bit.

After fifty, they are like onions."

"Onions?"

"Yes, see them and they make you cry."


A young woman asks her mother, "Mom, how many kind of penises are there?"

The mother, surprised, answers, "Well, daughter, a man goes through three phases.

In a man's twenties, a man's penis is like an oak, mighty and hard.

In his thirties and forties, it is like a birch, flexible but reliable.

After his fifties, it is like a Christmas tree."

"A Christmas tree?"

"Yes, dried up and the balls are there for decoration only."

[ 231. The One With The New Police Story ]

yup juz caught the movie... i would give it 5 star man! its really jackie chan's best film ever... nvr was i so engaged throughout the whole show... certain scenes u thot u can predict the outcome but man you'll be getting pleasant surprises... even those who dun speak the language can also catch it for its touching scenes, a bit of comedy and very good action choreography (tt will make u feel like kicking the person in front of u). I wasnt really touched cos jackie chan looks so old to match with such a young girl. lol. but still the baddies are totally cool. shall not gif any more spoilers... its a must-watch film. if not nice i pay u back the money... lol.

my wonderful pd tutor decided to treat us [reads: subsidies 50% per person] for seoul garden on our last day of school. yeah... i missed the national day steamboat, this one shld sum up a gd final yr i guess... dunno whether we'll be watching movies... mmm... i hope he's not broke by fri's treat... lol.

[ 230. The One With Mean Girls ]

hee... its not about the movies. its abt a few of my class girls, actually 4. in the morning i got to hear of friday's happenings...

practically 2 of my friends were excused from running 7 rounds ard the track because the teacher thot that both were unwell... so when my friends were getting ready to run, the teacher told them they dont need to run. Obviously, if u can dun run, u wouldnt want to run. then after the PE lessons, the 'uber bitches' (collective term to represent super duber bitches btw, no other meaning but u are free to think otherwise) went to the PE teacher and complained that my friends were not sick and asked the teacher to ask my friends to run. wtf right? your own classmates, i truly believe its the case of jealousy... 'why i haf to run and u no nid' i mean if u dun wan to run, you can fake (in this case my friends didnt haf to cos the teacher assumed first) and if the UB's acting skills are bad then too bad... btw they may appear to be your gd studious students but looks can be deceiving...

then the raging war begins... cos for the past yr, they have been complaining to teachers abt us and to my friends, that was the last straw... Moreover, they are chinese speaking and my friends are zero tolerant to those who keep speaking in chinese... an eye for an eye, my friends decided to 'drama' a bit...

they started to speak chinese loudly... there was this guy who didnt go for PE so one of my friend caught this opportunity...

Girl: Hey u never go run during PE har?
Boy: No
Girl: Aiyo, so bad...

something like dat... with those act cute/whinning voice [my friend faked it but the UB own the voice]

Then one of the 'cute' [reads: act cute] UB actually is attached so not directly in the UB league... she's so protective of her bf if any girl talks to him, she'll get angry... so obviously this reads 'CHANCE'. my two friends decided to find opportunities to talk to him and ask him questions... but my friend said it was a flop because (quoted) 'Everytime they do work, every 3 secs he will turn ard, touch her hair and pat on her head, adore her like she's some kind of dog'. i burst out laughing...

i only experienced the power of UB 1 cos she was in my grp for PW (project work)... mentioned it quite some time ago... very result driven and only want the best for herself... during discussion, any ideas by any members should be recognised as marks will be given but when i read through the minutes, i only saw her name most of the time. She did all the research quietly and hand in the file for checking. When we nid grp analysis, she dished out some of her research which do not leave much room for analysis due to lack of content from the resources. lucky i noticed and informed my other friend to start doing more research. but too bad he didnt so he got a band 3. then the UB 1 bitched to her other UB how undeserving of me to get the same grade as her.

today i had close encounter with the UB power... not directly... i went to the bookshop then the auntie asked me 'u from 06 har?' i nodded... then she said 'your friends said u always on MC har?' i was stunned. wat has it got to do with you? then instant flashback i knew the friends refer to the UB. cos on thur, the UB were out on other-sch-prelim-papers hunt at the bookshop... then i had placed orders for the class to get chem papers cos i was the chem rep... so either they thot i never order so they went to ask the auntie or they ordered already and tried to reduce the no of copies i ordered. I mean if you dun wan, u muz come and tell me, u expect me to ask every1 in the class whether they want the papers? especially the instructions from the chem teacher is to tell ur rep if u dun wan. if u haf the time to order the papers urself, u sure have time to tell me.

such thing also can tell the auntie what else you think they cant do? then the UB 1 who is supposed to be a very CIP person (community involvement prog) [read: supposed], my friends overheard her bitching abt how her grandfather only knows how to eat and shit to her classmates. i was shocked... you will never expect to hear this from some1 who do CIP, or even a president of some CIP club to be specific. Then my friend said 'it runs in the family line, if she's so mean to say her grandfather only knows how to eat and shit, then she muz really also eat shit' [reads: i did not leave out 'and' accidentally]

see... we know of her bad side [i wouldnt want to see her backside, its huge. puke. bleahz], but we never complain to teachers. they are still your classmates, if you dun like them, the most you can do is keep quiet.

prom night will be interesting... a series of planned attacks will be launched... well i am not involved, its a girl thing... i merely suggested to pour drinks (accidentally) on their prom dresses but my friends say no... it will only make them angry but they wanted more... something that will prick their conscience and hurt them mentally rather than just be angry... wow, talk abt women being vicious... *surrender*

well thats juz a prelude to working life and those dramas really spice up JC life :]

[ 229. The One With Recovery ]

oh well, forget abt the last post if it cant be read. dunno why when i type in chn they appeared in the preview but when i read my own post, all the alien language...

anyway, went for vball today to relieve stress and exercise... maybe i juz recovered, whenever i jumped, i felt like throwing up... lost appetite these few days. and i am feeling weaker... i think i grew thinner...

first few games were great... got 1 even dragged until 11-0... but close to 10pm the games we played, i wasnt on form. haiz... and i get really troubled and upset by my performance... [read- newbie sickness]

well... tml sch again... happy that its the last week of sch... sad that i will be getting ugly testimonial... and one week more to bio practical.
[ 228. The One With Chinese Songs ]

lol. i know many do not listen to chn songs but hey these 2 songs that i recently heard are really nice... their lyrics meaningful too... no its not jay chow... lol. i dun even understand what he's singing.

these 2 songs are from a drama serial that i mentioned not long ago... dunno whether u guys got the chinese language support pack. but nevertheless here goes...

the title of the show in chn : 第8号当铺

theme song by alex to: 黑色契约

黯淡的招牌 低头 迎面而来 街上的 灵魂
全都 可以买卖 愚蠢的以为 什么自己最爱
那些欲望 我静静的主宰 对魔鬼乞讨
虚荣的骄傲 黑色的契约 像月光下的暗潮
Woh我冰冷地抚摸着你 的悲哀 Woh只是交换 没有爱
漆黑的窗外 说不出的阴霾 墙上的 影子 单纯
已经不在 脸上的表情 残酷 没有期待 狂风掠过
我跟你谁才腐败 对魔鬼乞讨 虚荣的骄傲
黑色的契约 像月光下的暗潮 Woh
我冰冷地抚摸着你的悲哀 Woh 只是交换 没有爱
放弃 继续 都一样 谁主宰 谁会快乐 谁会受伤
全部将 结束在 这个地方 手枪在尊严里 慢慢上膛
孤寂的模样是我最后的印象 Woh我冰冷地抚摸着你
的悲哀 Woh NoNo 只是交换 没有爱
Woh 你冰冷地凝视着我 的悲哀 Woh 只是交换 没有爱

really summarise what the show is about...

the song for its credits at the end of the show by mayday: 而我知道

冰块 还没融化 你在看表 我 笑的尴尬
你说 最近很忙 改天聊吧

那天 我在楼下 想了很久 想 你说的话
你说 爱情很窄 世界很大 (而我们应该长大)

就这样吧 就这样吧
我想我 听懂你 话中的话

而我知道那真爱不一定能白头到老
而我知道有一天你可能就这么走掉
而我知道我知道这一切我全都知道
我就是受不了

而我知道我们曾天真的一起哭和笑
而我知道放开手但不知道怎么忘掉
而我知道你走了以后的每一分一秒
却还是这么难熬

微笑 紧紧咬牙 给你祝福 你 自由飞吧
你说 温室没有 灿烂的花 (你总是很有想法)

就这样吧 就这样吧
我同意 可是我 泪如雨下

oh this song by mayday, its really nice... it leaves room for imagination... u can totally relate to the lyrics whether u are a girl or a guy... but since its mayday who sings it so i interpret as a guy being 'dumped' by a girl... or at least the girl initiated breakup... i like the first stanza...direct translation...
ice cubes have yet to melt, u (refering to the girl) kept looking at your watch, i gave an awkward smile... u said u are busy recently, we'll talk some other time.

i can already imagine the setting... at the cafe, drinks on the table, the girl/guy cant wait to leave the place with awkward atmosphere... and the story goes on...

well, as usual, if u wanna hear the song.. can find me at msn, i can send to u :] its really nice.

[ 227. The One With Boredom ]

okaz, whole day spent practising maths... oh, can understand how boring a life of an accountant must be...

feeling bored so went online to surf ard...

been to a website on crimelibrary where they updated the latest crimes of different sorts ard the world... one thing nvr fails to attract me, actually 2 la, they are the murder cases and the 'missing' cases. There's one crazy killer who bathed in the blood of the victim he killed... and who says children are innocent little creatures... a 12yo girl killed several other children (not local of course)*imagining chucky in Child's Play* lol

since the US presidential debates are quite heated now so i checked out a site, u guys shld go too... very funny... but take some time to load...

www.jibjab.com

then went to read recommendations for shower foams (boy am i really bored...) happened to read one of the posts...

Kao Biore men's (they seldom have it , except in Watsons, sexy yet masculine smell. Cleans exceptionally well, can see the oil being washed away on the bathroom floor)

It is a comment by one of the users. then there was this comment by another reader.

you can see the oil being washed away?!?!!
you must be very oily.


lol. i was laughing my arse off... dunno abt u guys but maybe to me anything may seem funny at 3am...

finally...

NAGAREYAMA (Japan):

Linen-maker Kameo Corp's new Boyfriend's Arm Pillow – which consists of a headless torso and a stuffed arm that curls around the sleeper - might make some people uneasy.

Kameo, based in the southern Japanese city of Fukuoka, said the pillow is not only an emotional comfort, but that its shape keeps the body balanced by supporting the sleeper from both sides.



Well, i guess you can always count on the Japanese for such innovations...

[ 226. The One With My Friend ]

oh happened to surf the schools websites... and realised my friend frm 1st 3 mths so zai... she won the NTU Inter-JC Current Affairs Challenge Shield... Always knew she will make it big... her GP woo... damn gd. when she debates, she's juz like machine gun firing away. i mean her mouth. she's always the spark of the class.. so bubbly. she's juz Tan Rou An . i miss her company... lol.

ajc better dun haf bear, it will tarnish the image of cute bears.
oh njc and ajc having open house on the same day... those going jc... head to nj no doubt... this yr's student council erm... they are worse than the cadets from the unit leader programme (red cross). seriously... look at how they try (so hard) to get every1 to do mass dance.

[ 225. The One With Spectacular #2 Results ]

oh pls refer to my analysis of post 216 . hee.. got it correct way before last nite show... gee.. so fun to guess cos so predictable... after jeassea's gone, hu wins doesnt matter... juz love jerry staying on for more arrowing... *ouch*

sure lots of bitching done at gurmit.. he screwed up today... stumbled over so many words... starting of the show already haf...

i think some1 nid to prepare a speech for him... he obviously try to impromptu but sucked at it... the conversation wif alex and may yee was yucks... and he got speech prob huh? he kept repeating wat he said today... one will be safe, one will go home... then again, one will be safe and coming back next week, the other will sing a song for the last time.. and the 'christopher-david' chanting gave me headaches!!!

they shld let the idols sing longer as a grp and shut gurmit up. he's trying to drag the show to fit the timing...

and whats up with the intro of the judges? wah florence, DO and ken sure feel *ouch* less than well groomed...
[ 224. The One With Jeassea ]

Last week's shocking results... i knew Jeassea will be out when she was in that grp.

look at daphne... so short... no offence but she looked like she cant wait to go to the zoo... jerry seems to be looking at jeassea, 'sorry i'm in...' well beverly has the look that she knew she'll be out.



Jeassea's juz like latoya london in AI3... one look u know got star quality, X factor and equipped with great vocals. If she has an album, i sure go buy... :]



She looks so captivating...



love her!

[ 223. The One With Singapore Idol-Rock n Roll ]

too 'hot' to sleep, had afternoon nap juz now... so did a review while taking a break from maths... i miss jeassea... so glad the newspaper labelled latoya london (my fave) as the best diva for the AI3 concert yesterday...

anyway, despite panadols, now its 38.4. sensing brain damage? see a doctor!


here goes:

For the first time i like daphne's item today... but when she gazed into the crowd... she gave tt 'gong' face...

worst performance undoubtly chris and jerry... somehow i think both will not be eliminated tml... but i think the judges were tired of seeing jerry... 'u're still here!' *ouch*

any1 noticed chris had tt flirtatious look during the flash back. wat a waste not to go into strip teasing...

tonight's theme really surprised a lot of pple... thot it may turn out bad. but it was great.

and i love dick lee's comments today... whacky and tactful...

one thing i was disturbed was that most of the singers actually stood there and wait to bow when the music has not ended...

also i noe fantasia cant helped having thick lips but david pls close ya mouth at times... he has really huge set of teeth... scary. lol. :X

oh please let jerry stay... *dun throw things at me*
i nid time to do homework during the show... hee... get my meaning? :X
[ 222. The One With Fever ]

gosh. sore eyes not healed and i'm down with fever... i think its the eye infection... today my tutor juz spoke to me 'i noe u are sick, but if u dun come to sch, how can the teachers help u?'

i was pretty puzzled by what he said. i did go to school even though i was on mc. juz tt my sore eyes got worse so i had to take early leave. how to study with ur eyes hurting and burning like hell? now with this fever, i sure get arrowed again on mon... my specs are ready so now i guess i wont be wearing contacts for quite some time...

my eyes went bloodshot in the middle of the day(i wasnt wearing contacts yet)no choice had to take a nap... haiz...

saw something shocking... i think i'm condemned by the PE dept or the school... the CCA awards ceremony, i was clearly left out... All my active members got in for either merit award or cert of commendation... but undoubtly, the sch has some criteria to get the award i guess... attendence not gd, results not gd... i dun fit to get it anyway... even though my contributions go unrecognised, but i am glad to have made wonderful frenz in my CCA... always enjoy the times we were practising and choreographing the dance. all the cheers and support we get, memorable... perhaps i think i did unjustice to my CCA the later part of the year, especially when we lost the proposal to keep the CCA... most of the time engrossed in red cross stuff. Cos at that time, there were no performances to put up, no dance to learn... mostly sharing sessions... so i guess i didnt do the 'motivation' thingy for my members ...

ok no strength to type le. my temples are throbbing and i feel like i am soaked in hot water... so many panadols still no effect. see u tml, doctor... arghz.. juz took temp 38.2, with a pair of devil's eyes...

[ 220. The One With My Tutor ]

Oh well havent talked abt him for a long time... thot he ignored me for gd as to him i think i am the most problematic and attitude student... juz knew frm my dad that my tutor called. oh well, whats new? still harping on my attendence... 15 days of absence in a term... quite bad but i had worse... knew frm my class rep tt he wanted me to go sch tml to sign something... well i hope not something bad...

he wanted MC so some days when i dun feel quite well, i go see the doctor lo. if he thinks i want to skip school then so be it. he dun wan any parents letter frm me(i'm a special case) so recurring headache i still go see doctor despite i got leftover medication. so my hse basically is a mini pharmacy.

well wat else he tok abt? national camp... ya i mentioned last time where i was coming frm, had my difficulties, its either dun go or go and face consequences. its my choice. since i chose the latter, to him my priorities not right, no respect for him = bad student which i agree. To him, i may have lost the respect he has in me or even the character i haf but only i know what i am gaining for myself. with all odds against me, i still believe my 4 days were well spent. i did my work that all my tutors gave for the 4 days and yet i achieved something that is once-in-a-lifetime. i have no regrets.

another thing he talked abt was my results. ya he told my dad they were bad which i agree to a small extent. What i believe more is how much i have improved... from a O and F i went up to getting C and i know i capable of even a B juz because of carelessness which my subj tutor told me. I know i shouldnt compare but there are also other students who were having same grades as me before and never improved for prelims... Its not easy to study alone and to get the self-motivation is hard especially when u can only rely on yourself. Even though teachers keep stressing on group study but dun think it will work. u need to choose your study partners. It is really frustrating to do maths when u have questions, the teacher prefers you to discuss with your classmates first and if it cant be resolved then the last person to see is your maths tutor. yes in this way both parties can learn but to me i find it impede my learning process... when i ask my friends, they gave me answers that they arent fully sure or maybe they may have the wrong concepts and i juz accepted it. After all, i still need to double check with the tutor. A lot of time wasted to go through so many channels.

this world is tt realistic, only focus on results... not many actually looked into how much effort and hard work u put in. i believe many pple are trying but when the hard work dont show in the results, they get condemned. Felt so unfair...

well i hope my tutor reads this and hopefully understand how i feel. try studying in this class and you will understand how dreadful it is to come to school. i guess i am stupid enough to lose the motivation to study for this 2 yrs. Whenever i try to pick up from where i left, i keep landing myself into 'trouble' and instead of moving forward, i get more obstacles.

Every night, i've been practising maths after i am done with my work, all the way till 2am. Who really knows how much i want to improve my maths? To my tutor, my results doesnt seem like i am keen...
[ 219. The One With 2 Sore Eyes }

oh well... today woke up with 2 sore eyes instead of 1. really buy 1 get 1 free... went to sch even though i was on mc for 2 days... but my tutor wasnt there to take attendence. arghz. but at least i attended bio and maths which i thot were pretty useful. then the pain sets in, whole day the blurred vision made my head spin... though i didnt say anything, my bio tutor surprisingly knew i wasnt well... oh well, one of my classmate joked that i watched too much porn, oh well i guess its a joke i muz really laugh cos he laughed real hard. so ya i laughed (it off).

[ 218. The One With The Sore Eye ]

juz recovered frm flu and i'm down with sore eye... i think my pd tutor not getting happy... sure think i pon sch again... today had an impt sci practical briefing for the a lvls... but my left eye swell until everytime i blinked it hurts.

Since cant wear contacts now, had to send my specs for repair. 65 bucks to change the frame. arghz. now there's renovation on the 13th floor. everyday ard 9am they will start drilling... and it's giving me headache... cant sleep, cant study... i now nid to go out to study because of the renovation... arghz... and it doesnt stop until 5pm. and i dunno how long it will take.

this period of time, pple wld be studying for final yr exam, o lvl, a lvl, all sorts of exam... but with this drilling...

saw the doctor and i need to go back for another check up.first time i was given so many different eye drops... and had this yellow cream to put inside the lower eye lid.. eww...

[ 217. The One With Prelim Results ]

oh well before that, i had a very gd time at the volleyball courts yesterday. despite feeling a little guilty going for vball but i managed to solve maths too... with the help of pple there. nothing beats having a few great games that definitely brightened me up for a new week. cooped up at home made me fall sick...

oh well been pretty happy with my revision for the A lvls. managed to do all my work that my teachers asked us to do despite them (the work) messing up my revision timetable...

oh well got back the last few papers. GP was bad bad bad... what could be worse than not able to finish the paper? mistakes and misintepreting the passage. screwed up for the paper... dont dare to ask my GP tutor to review my paper. i guess i'll die frm the humiliation.

what saved the day was my bio option topic. i got a 'gd' for my paper. and i managed to pass bio despite failing badly for the core paper and practical. Go figure...

Breakdown of the difficulty of papers (by the moderation of marks)
Chem: No moderation
Phy: No moderation
Bio: Add 2 marks
GP: Add 4 marks
Maths: Add 9 marks

yeah labs are finally closed for A lvl practical prep. My prac starting in 2 weeks time. nervous...

[ 216. The One With Britney ]

http://www.liquidgeneration.com/poptoons/britneys_breasts.asp

quite amusing flash animation... makes me wonder to... i think its the push-up effect.



as usual bitch abt SI in the forums...
my guess who will go out next week:

i dun think they would let the gd singers be eliminated anymore...
gd singers are like olinda, leandra (i dun agree but many think so)
untouchable: jerry

if maia stays, taufik shld be staying... cos both same grp, maia got 'brought' back.

if sly stays, chris and daphne shld be staying cos same grp, sly got eliminated...

but hey... he may have gotten new fans for improving... but juz how many more can he get?

so my guess is either maia or david.
unless they have enough fun wif jerry.. he may be out.
[ 215. bored ]

saturdays are always a bore... today no difference. i think the more i sleep the more lethargic i am... study the whole day, wanted to go out walk ard and dine outside but my sis wanted to buy back home... -_- sian. i'm going mad... arghz.

[ 214. mass media ]

ok bedridden the whole day under the effects of chlorpheniramine...
but spent the rest of my time doing GP research on mass media and propaganda. pretty interesting i muz say. and kinda relate to today's episode of Singapore Idol.

dunno how many of u watch it. i guess it kinda waste of your time to watch it unless u got the time to spare. after today's elmination of the two best vocal singers, i guess its not about talent anymore.

beverly out: probably she got that character that pple dun like. pple label her 'bitchy', 'drama queen', 'fake' when she cried at small things during the piano show and laughed and jumped ard during the wildcard show. but no doubt she got one of the best vocals.

jeassea out: well my fave... but i'll try to be objective. at the few forums, pple started bitching about how come she was eliminated and that she dont deserve it. then there are a few narrow minded pple who think that Singapore idol shld be won by a Singaporean. cos jeassea is a canadian but now a PR. ple cant get enuff of such issues juz like jiawei and susilo playing for spore. they juz dun understand why it is called Singapore Idol and not Singaporean Idol. Also, i think they are out to prove that if u dun vote enuff, even faves can get eliminated.

then there are a whole lot who got influenced by the mass media. Propaganda : any technique that attempts to influence the opinions, emotions, attitudes or behaviour of a group, IS at work! MC purposely put jerry (who supposedly is the most hated contestant cos many think he dun deserve to be in but always get high votes to stay in) together with jeassea so that when jerry is 'safe' pple will blame him. the fans of other contestants will vote more next week so that they wont lose out to jerry's fans. Actually there are 8 other contestants who are 'safe' also but they purposely put jerry with jeassea... all for effects... and so many in the forum kept bitching abt jerry getting votes from his christian friends and kept bringing in CHC (city harvest church) which in the first place he's not frm there... haiz...

so many pple targetted at jerry, calling him names and stuff. i think its uncalled for. its the fans. not him.

but imo, no offence,

i mean looking at the rest, hu can carry off with an album? so many lack X factor, not talking abt their voices yet.

daphne? pple thot its a hi-5 album
taufik/jerry? karaoke album can la
olinda? wld u wan to see her in an album? ez job for the wardrobe! voice is not everything
chris/david? vocals not the strongest, may look gd in album
leandra? dun think her voice will let me hear the songs over and over again.
maia? disco album maybe.
sly? perhaps at least he got something unique.
