Why am I always in the wrong? Its just what you think thats all. Every time I say something you just say I speak in broken english and you dont understand. Hello??? Just admit that you cannot hear what I say. Just admit you are stressed over the Japan trip. Come on, its just another coat to buy and thats all. We are ready to go. Okay I know you are planning to buy other girl stuff whatever you call it but there is no need to blast everything along your way or exaggerate it right? It is not always the case that I have attitude problem, but I think everyone here has some problems. You dont understand what I feel and I am not making an effort to listen either. So whatever, maybe going to the army is the best for everyone, you will get the happy and quiet life you want while I sweat it out in army. Dont call me and complain why I didnt call you or why I always go clubbing with friends, because thats what you want isnt it? Come on, at this age of 18 it is not puberty-hormone-too-much-so-got-PMS attitude problem...you really really have a problem too. You are not trying hard to understand me. Period. Goodbye. I am going to Japan on Tuesday. And I really just feel sooo happy that I can leave Singapore. Maybe some people say is true, Singapore is too complicated a place to live. HUH, I bet you must be surprised over my previous sentence because you all know I am a hardcore patriotic citizen, BUT, sometimes I feel sad living here. Who am I? Why am I born like that? Why I can choose my life I want? Why am I always suffering just to enter to the top university of the world. Maybe other Asian countries are like that too, but are Asians winning? Not yet. Maybe never. Because we are too self-centered and....undescribable. :(

This shall be my last post before my Alevels begin next Tuesday. I am not sure if I am ready at all for this exam. I really regret not putting in more effort, maybe not in J1, but in J2. I could have done more. Or maybe I have done what I can. Its just the problem of a small fish in a big pond. Well Mrs Lee ( Lee Mui) mentioned before that in Hc that will happen. Naturally...so i guess I have to accept the fact that I am just one small fry. Anyhow, I will don my very best in this upcoming Alevels, and all the best to my friends out there who are mugging real hard to get into the university of their choice. ( heard MIT is setting up a school in singapore and they are offering architecture or some urban planning course). Hmm..if I can, it will be goodbye to my NUS. Haha.
HWAITING!

Sincere apologies to any party concerned. It was purely emotions that got the better of me, that made me do something so childish. :(

This will probably my last post before my prelims, and Alevels.
I have not been writing much on this blog, maybe because I have lost interest in writing private stuff here. Maybe its the stress in school and lack of time that stopped me from blogging. But really, is there such a thing as lack of time? It is definitely there, its how much you make use of it, and not how much it can give you. Make an effort to treasure it, and definitely it will give you. Yes I am lecturing myself, cos I feel that I have not been using much of my time well so far. Its just weeks left to prelims, and I am still spending time online, on itouch looking at facebook, hoping someone commented on my post or note or photos, or whether someone is online. This will probably the last time though, cos it is really war now. When I was in p6, I didnt do as well as expected, ( yeah thts why I didnt get into HC) and people told me, its ok dude, look you still have many major exams to take.
When I was in sec 4, I got results that I wanted, but always felt it could have been better if I got 8A1s instead of 7, and people told me, chill man, its just halfway through your journey as a student. And now, here am I, on the last few stages of my life as a student. After that its tertiary education. This Alevel will defnitely determine my future and my career. Looking at all the 'elite' Oxford cambridge brochures, I cant help but start fantasizing myself entering those century-old corridors and studying under the huge clock tower. Will I get there? What do I see? Whats my future. I dont know. I am not sure what I am doing right now. I still dont know my path, and someone still needs to guide me. I am still lost in the woods, unsure of the road ahead. I am left in wilderness, hoping someone can give me some direction along the way. Its wrong, and I know. Its my responsibility to find my way out, and I am trying now. I will get out of the maze. I surely will.

Its time to reflect, maybe not now, but after prelims. What have I done over the past two years? Did I live my life well? For now, I would definitely say yes. But maybe some time later, I will say no. Its up to one's definition of how well is well. To Ah Seng I might not have lived my life well. But to someone else they could say its the best anyone can ask for. So, have I tried my best? Only my heart knows. And yours too. Treasure the remaining times left in hc. Cos there is no more turning back.

2009-07-09T22:54:00.003+08:00

End of Blocks. Finally!! Woohoo!

Watched transformers yesterday wif a few peeps from 6a. Honestly I felt it was a rather boring movie at the start cos I didnt watch the first movie and so I dont really know much about transformers. So i didnt even know who were the bad (people? or vehicles? or transformers?) and who were the good. And cathay's seats were freakiinnnn comfy, so nearly slept for a while before meagan fox came out. AHAHAHA. The climax came quite late, but not too late though, my heart started thumping madly during the 'invasion' and stuff, so not too bad, haha. Eh i got weak heart kay, got PES D for NS due to heart thingy. Need further checkups. LOL at the thought of it. Well I dont mind if I got PES B or C in the end. Jus not E cos I dont wan be a niang doing clerk work.

Somewhere out there, I feel like i am in a vacuum right now. I seriously dont know what I should do and what road I should take. Its just the same as when I was in primary school. But now its totally different. I think i have given up hope. From tomorrow onwards, I will never be the same again. And dont worry, I wont bother you any more in the future. There's nothing, nothing, no more.

I cant wait to go Ion and Central, freakin cool technology. Media wall screens, LED lightings, it just boost the entire atmosphere at Orchard road. They are helping me realising my dream of turning Orchard road to Times Square. YES. FTWWWW singapore architecture. When I grow up, I will want change. Change has come. Or not.

Right life in hwachong is ending soon, and I cant help but feel so heartbroken. I love the place more than anything in hte worl, i found out my true self, I realised my "not-so-full" potential, and I got to do lotsa stuff that I have never imagined. Fac com camp, playing a totally new instrument and be in performing arts cca when I was always known as failure for being in NCC. Be a class rep, well i love being bossy. Haha joking la, ask my class peeps, i am so nice, how can i be bossy at all? :)))) Finding new and great friends, learning to accept new challenges, like roller blading. Urgh I still cant believe I can roller blade in under two sessions, not forgetting all the slips and falls on the first day. LOL. CNY celebrations, lantern festival, all these events and celebrations in HCI were super cool. Nothing beats them. I realised I could do much more pull-ups than I could ever imagine myself doing. ( Eh in sec 4 I could do only 2. In J1 i did 5. My aim for J2 was 6-8. In the end i did 10 for this year's napfa. See I am so strong. Muahaha.) I fell in love with lectures, cos I could sleep, which would not have been possible if lessons were held in classrooms. I will never forget my PW group, and the wonderful times we spent together learning to be top opera performers. Arh yes and the times we sang all the phantom of the opera songs tgt. :)

Yeap thts my life in HC. Its not all mugging and studying, in fact i mugged more in sec sch than in JC, but tht made my life more complete, and makes Jack not a dull boy at all. :) Its now time for the last lap, and jiayou guys. 6A is equivalent to SMTP to me, while it may be quite hard sometimes to accept the fact tht I am incomparable to them, I am really glad I get to know so many bright people, all concentrated in 6a. And the great thing is, we are not pure SMTPers, cos we know how to facebook, we know how to play fb fking lame games tgt, we know wad is the real meaning of class outings, we know how to treasure frenship, and we know wads love, ( one of the highest rate of no of couples in a class!!!!) Yeah.

Right, lets get prepared to see sucky results tml. Especially mcqs for both phy and chem. Why cant i just choose the right answers? RAWH. Always wrong here and there. and stupid mistakes they are too. :(((((((((((((

Stepping Down Ceremony

2009-05-22T21:00:00.003+08:00

Its been a year since I took up the challenge to get into Fac com. I had no prior experience in being a committee member, ( dao my primary school experience), so it was rather a new world for me when I was announced as the secretary/treasurer of athena fac com. It was something that I always hoped to do, as a committee member, help the school organise activities, not as hyper as the student's council, but in a way doing something in faculty committee that is somewhat similar to them. I always wanted to lead juniors during orientation, and I got to do that during Rev-it-up 09 this year. I always wanted to attend another cool camp, and I realised my dream when I was a able to go to Malaysia for our fac com camp in June last year. It might not have been the best camp I have participated in, but it was indeed an experience I would never forget. Forging friendships with the new fac com members, getting to know more high school people, and breaking the barrier with IP students. ( it took me quite long to start to warm up with the high school guys. too dominating...) I later realised that the high school guys were not as "intimidating" after all. Some were as hyper as Linus and Matthew, some were as blur as Shengkun, some funny like jiayun and teck yuke. Athena fac com members were a bunch of funny, exciting and interesting people, and from that camp onwards, I never looked back. It was a start of a new life for me, as a fac com member, and as a student in hc. I learnt to make new friends easily, and to integrate into the hc life.
I wasnt really as committed to fac com as I should have been cos of committments in band last year. Thats why this year, I thought it is the very last time I would be spending time with my fac com members. Since I concentrated so much on piano and band last year that I didnt spend as much time with them, I decided not to go syf this year so as to be able to prepare our last event together as a team. I am glad I still dont regret that decision, although sometimes I feel sad I didnt go syf. Having dry runs with fac com mates were really interesting. You wouldnt know what the taste is like if you are not there.
I have been emoing for quite some time, maybe it started during the stepping down ceremony today. I have just realised that I am no more a fac com member. I cant do any more stuff for the school, I cant chase people to pay sec/treas money, I cant crap with Guo Dan and Jiayun. I cant buy sushi with teck yuke at coro. I cant play those childish hand games with Woonlue. I cant chit chat while doing sai-kang with charmaine like carrying table and benches from canteen. I cant niao jon neo's height. I cant laugh at Shengkun's theory of Milky Way in the Malaysian sky. I cant see jon quah and karl dance before my very eyes. I cant hear my wonderful fac heads sing and cheer along with us with our athenian guitar. I cant see Fuxing and Linus as much as I want to. And play poker cards with ziyuan who taught me bridge and another which I forgot the name. ( Oh crap sorrry shifu I let you down again.) I cant play badminton with SUPER ZAI yongji, and my fellow sec/treas EHUI!. SHe has done so much for sec/treas stuff, sometimes taking over my duties when I am tied up with band, and sometimes volunteering to do stuff although her workload is already super heavy. Thanks E hui!!! A LOT A LOT! :)

Anyway, today our journey ends. But we leave a legacy behind. The Athena Faculty Committee 2008 was the committee that brought Athena faculty in hwachong institution to life again. We succeeded at our two events, Envy of The Seven Seas 2008, and Greenworks 2009. We had the best publicity announcements during morning assembly. We hyped up the spirits of the athenian juniors od 09/10 batch. And yes, we have raised the expectations of future fac com members. And for that we are sooo proud of ourselves. ( again dao our budget bust. OOPs.) Thank you Athena Fac com 08/09. I <3 you all. Jiayo for A levels, and we shall not let our ECs, beloved Mr Quek, Mrs Gen Tan and Mrs Joyce Tan down. YIPPPPPPEE. And all the best. HOOOOOOOT.

THAT MADE MY DAY! :)

2009-04-05T20:57:00.003+08:00

I was reading this book about electric fields. I thought I would like to share it with everyone.

For all fundamental particles, the gravitational attraction is always much weaker than electrical interaction.But suppose that the electrical force were a million times weaker than it really is. In that case, the ratio of electric to gravitational forces between an electron and proton would be about a million times weaker than we are used to, because they are held together by electrostatic forces. Insects would need to have much thicker legs to support the same mass. In fact animals couldnt get much larger than an insect unless they are made of steel ( imagine standing next to a gigantic tirantula 2 time your size!!! 0.0) and even a hypothetical animal made of steel would be a few centimetres in size before collapsing under its own weight. More significantly, the lifetime of a typical star would decrease from 10 billion years to 10 000 years. This is hardly enough time for any organism to to evolve!!!!!!!! Thanks to electric force, humans are able to live on this earth and smile fresh air, see the world and suffer under all different kinds of disasters! Yeah and make me go crazy over school life! Electric force FTW.

SUCCESS

Believe you can succeed and you will. Achieving success in whatever endeavor you choose may be the goal of life. Because it gives you freedom from worry. Could that be?

Success means different things to every one of us. Some people believe it is measured in financial terms, ie.. having wealth; others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves. A bit of both perhaps! Or it could be simply achieving for achievement's sake. Success is such a personal thing. To many people it is the very root of their being - the reason for existing is to achieve something worthwhile in our lives. To the vast majority of us it doesn't matter much whether they want to be successful or not; that's OK by me, as long as that is what you really want and you are happy with life. However, most people want and are motivated to a great extent by public recognition and a relentless pursuit of achievement. How many people too are really happy? How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives?

No matter what motivates you personally, whatever you choose to do with your life, don't expect instant success. The years of struggle, commitment and learning in excelling at whatever endeavor or trade you choose, is no easy task. It takes a lot of courage, character and discipline to achieve success in any field. Nearly all successful people have doubted themselves at some point and wanted to give up. Yet they carried on. One thing is for sure: success breeds SUCCESS, as it gathers a momentum of its own and you get on a “winning streak”, when everything seems to fit into place. I seem to have learned how to achieve success only recently. It's not about the things I do or I hope for that make me realise how success is achieved. Its this sudden zeal in me to just move forward without looking back at the old days. I have just realised, that I am now a new me.

"I'm not a failure if I don't make it...I'm a success because I tried "

And now, ladies and gentlemen, lets go gaga over the future singapore skyline! In 2011, Singapore's skyline will be transformed with four new buildings that make up Marina Bay Financial Centre. It is in construction phase now, so what we have to do is just to wait. In fact, by 2012, there will be at least 15 new towers rising at Marina Bay, the greatest construction boom not seen since the early 1990s.

Earth Hour 2009

2009-03-28T16:28:00.002+08:00

Today is the day that millions across the world will take part in a global event to raise awareness on global climate change. Households, companies, and public buildings all over the world will turn off their lights at 8:30pm all over the world today to support Earth Hour. What was just a Sydney event turned into a global event in just a matter of two years, and more people are participating year after year. I really do hope you guys will support this event and switch off you lights at 8:30pm today, just one hour. You can go shopping, you can go to the park with your family members, you can go Orchard Road, and take photos of the city in darkness, and send them to the flickr earth hour group and tag singapore to the picture. :) Every individual can make a difference, so act now.

2009-03-24T21:31:00.003+08:00

Exams over! Yeah! Although i screwed up my chem, I try not to think about it.
Just recall my stupidity. Studied hydroxyl compounds like hell. In total spent almost 4 over hours studying it, plus redoing tutorials and doing some questions from tys. CRAP. When I could have spent more time on ionic equlibria. Now I regret so very much. I only spent today morning revising through ionic equilibria and soulbility product and so many questions came out in paper 2! Urgh.
Next paper one. OMG i left q16-20 blank!!!! I started from Q15 and totally forgot about 16-20!Until the last second when the invigilator said check u shaded all answers. I realised I only shaded 15. Killed. Owned. Bye bye chemistry.

I feel so lonely suddenly. I dont know why.

Last week's band orientation was super cool. It was much much better than our orientation last year. We did lots of stuff, like taking out grapes from a "pool" of flour by using mouth only, and some other stuff that cannot be described in words. LOL. But all in all it was really fun and enjoyable. I really do not regret spending the whole afternoon interacting mostly with J2s, didnt really get the chance to interact with the J1s, cos my OG only has two J1s. Lol.

That night was also quite fun. A few of us attended the Talentime Concert. Seriously, I still dont have the chance to critisize the male MC. He faillls. First he spoke like a Philippino, and its not that I am being racist or what, but he should have spoken normally like a Singaporean does, and not try to speak like an American and fail at it. The female MC is slightly better, but still doesnt make the mark. Ok I am in no position to comment on them, since I know I may not be a suitable person to play host to such an event, but, rawh, shouldnt they get btter MCs? He was so irritating the whole night, it just spoiled my "appetite" to listen to the singers sing. Anyways.

My OG! Goped from band blog. Hehes

2009-03-17T16:39:00.005+08:00

Its hols again. Gosh time flies. Term 1 is over and soon I will be mugging like shit for Alevels. What kind of life is this? Rawwh.

I really really wan to go out with the rest tomorrow to go to some super super big sale as mentioned by aaron ( yalar ppl wan to have abs cannot arh) at gramaphone. Cool lar 60cents cheap sale for cds. But I kinda think the cds will be super lousy type or those that are "unsellable", either old songs, or unpopular ones. But who knows? Now is recession. Everything is cheaper. Three cheers for recession! Woohoo. Sorry sounds wrong.

I am having a hard time maintaining my blog. Its so difficult to update regularly. I will try. But if it gets to dead soon, I may close it down. Aw dont be sad blog. I still got facebook. It is the thing of the century.

Not much to talk about. Maybe shall post some pictures of really funny stuff.

My class is now always talking about FAIL.
Well fail enough. More failure here.

Another FAILURE: ( Hmhm, dont try this at home eh?)

Athena Fac Dance 2009 POP

2009-02-28T23:55:00.001+08:00

Athena dance this year improved tremendously! Well done Athenians! I am sooo proud of you all! We may not be champions this year but the vast improvement shows a lot about the 09 batch. You guys rocked Athena's soul, and mine too. Everything is not possible without you guys. Its been really a great orientation 09 with the junior batch this year and while POP signifies the end of the fight for faculty shield, this still lies in our hearts forever, the Athena hand sign with the middle finger bent! :) Hoot on Athenians!

Hiphop Dance Performance (Korea:Prepix)

2009-02-23T22:08:00.001+08:00

Athena danced damn well wad! SURE WILL GET CHAMPION THIS FRIDAY! ALL THE WAY ATHENA! See Artemis so lousy drop the cap when dancing....FAILLLL.(psss...this dance looks damn like the apollo dance for this year. serrrriousss. The way they move with the cap and everything.. yep. HECK. ATHENA! HOOOOOT the way to victory on fri yeah! shucks la my block test sure wont do well...have been stuck to j1 orientation all these weeks. Tsk tsk! I'll keelllllll the j1s!!! Rahh.

Recession?

2009-02-22T22:20:00.002+08:00

Its recession time. And no doubt everyone can feel the gloom and the misery of not having the confidence to spend. I feel very empty in my pockets these days. Its not as if my parents cut down my expenses, but I feel a need to save more and not spend necessarily. I am really cutting down the number of times taking taxi home, and I sometimes dont even feel like taking two meals in school.
BUT??!!! Hey! Arent we supposed to spend during a recession theoretically? Yep, cut the crap about Singapore being an open and small economy, but at the very least those people who are still not directly or indirectly affected by the recession, i.e do not suffer pay cuts or retrenchment, to SPEND and try to revive the economy! I know everyone will not believe this, cos no one is confident that other people will do the same thing. Haha. Thats really the problem. I think if everyone chinese in China spend $100 on one day, the whole world will go back to its usual glamour( imagine $100 x 1,000,000,000), and Singapore will see more buildings being built. Now our ports are empty, the crows are calling, and no flowers are dancing there. So please, someone, Obama, Ohmama, Osama, someone, please do something, save the economy, save my homeland, and save me!!!!!

Boa-Light of Seoul

2009-02-18T23:16:00.001+08:00

Seoul!!!! I want to go there again one day! Haha! I like its culture, buildings, architecture, Han River, but not its food though. :( Haha

2009-02-18T21:08:00.004+08:00

Really have nothing to say on my blog anymore. Partly because facebook helps me tell my life to a wider audience out there. Not everybody goes to my blog anymore. There is also a newspaper article recently that says blog is becoming "outdated". More people are going to some popular websites( I dont know then name) where they can update their lives almost instantly from their handphones. Blog has become something that is quite mafan. Gosh this is tech man. Technology is improving so fast something that was invented not so long ago is now considered quite old-fashioned. Blog may become history very soon...

Anyways, we had our faculty competition last Fri. Campfire night was really an experience for me because I did not attend last year's orientation campfire. Sad right? Now I am enjoying it as a fac com member as well as a j2 student. LOL. I had always been waiting for this night where I get to dance with my fac com members on stage, ( although its quite scary doing something you are not gd at, erps), and cheering with our dear athenian juniors. I really dont want to use any vulgarities here on the blog. But seriously, those judges who judged the flag and the class item are really FAILLLLL. (lure). They thought a cow on the flag was cute, they thought a boy playing yo-yo all by himself is way more cool, they were so noob and FAIL that they didnt realise the REDS were niao-ing Athena by saying we lost the war games in a mockery manner. This is preposterous! Huang tang! Huang miao! I was so boiling mad when he came to the athena side and said " athena! Who lost the war games yesterday?" HE even made the gesture to tell everyone to calm down when we started jeering at him. He deserved a punishment from athena. Athenians, do whatever you like to him, muahahahaha, and bring him to me alive....I will....

Anyway, its over. Athenians will finally realise the way they are treated in school, the way the teachers view us as, the way other facs look at us, the way how much we try our best but will never get the faculty any winning streaks. I tell you, this is the first time I feel so strongly for athena. I will make all athenians do well for fac dance, and at least get a second. SECOND okay, I am not so greedy for champion, but SECOND. And this round teachers and judges please open your eyes wider and look carefully. Cos Athena is going to rock you off your chairs. You watch out.

My dance partner!!! :):)

2009-02-07T17:23:00.005+08:00

Lots of stuff to do lately, really no time to blog. CNY celebrations, orientation for j1s, complaints, bla bla...all missed. I was even thinking of not updating my blog anymore. J2 life isnt any easier than J1. (DUH!), and with cca and fac com committments, I really feel very tied up...but sometimes, its these experiences that will make me able to learn more things along the way, make more friends, see thw world and of course to understand how everything works and how they come into place just like that. I officially welcome our new junior class of 09s6a. I doubt any of them knows me. Really. Not a single rv junior. What a waste. A blessing in disguise too. HCI let in fewer olevel students this year. Dont know why. RV must do well and show the world we can be great in Alevels. Jiayou!

Pictures from CNY.

2009-01-23T21:41:00.002+08:00

Lots of reflection today after the CNY celebrations.
Firstly, I am really touched by my class's efforts to get the donuts sold. (partly also because we dont want to lose money. LOL.) Thanks guys for such a great time. It was really fun selling all these stuff,(I bet I wont eat donuts for a long time), and Samuel was so desperate trying to attract people's attention. If he had worn the AA specs it would have been much better. :)

Secondly, I realised that some people are really great dao-ers. I was telling them to buy our donuts. They just totally daoed me and continued playing their cards. Maybe some felt paiseh and didnt reply, some was totally not bothered at all. If it had been me, I would have just said " Oh ok later." Or sorry we dont want. Thats much much better than leaving me a little embarrassed right, like as if I was talking to the wall.

Thirdly, I cant even get my own rv frens to buy my stuff, who else can I get them to buy. I saw her and called out to her, she pretended she never see me and just "tried" getting away from me. I was right in front of everyone, know who embarrassing it was? I mean, I appreciate people like Yulei who bothered to strike a deal with me to buy her class's stuff, so in the end she bought my donut ,and I bought her agaragar. And thanks kwanki for getting ur ISYF frens to buy our donuts. Really appreciate it. :) Sorry Adeline made you buy donut, in the end free for u al. Well, the rest kinda like u know, didnt manage to see them. Kaka busy la, so nvm. I am not forcing people to buy anyways. But its the attitude they show me when i asked them to buy. For this particular person, i just called out her name, and she disappeared. Thats really...sad u know.

Fourthly, when we asked people to go back to RV, they give that kind of qian0bian attitude like as if we are forcing them to go. Cant you just say nicely that you are not going back? Why do you need to give that ugly look. Why do u need to make me feel so...irritated? You jus continue listening to ur songs and not even looking at me in the eye. So rude la. I dont know. The people that are treating me nuts today are in fact the ones I treasure them so much as frens. Maybe its just me. I really not in a good mood. Maybe I am a bad person in other people's eyes too. Maybe they hate me too. But today I feel so affected by the surroundings, I came home feeling really sad and...dont know. I am just starting to step into the real world. It is going to be much much more harsh next time when I go out into the society.

2009-01-10T16:00:00.002+08:00

星期一就要开学了，真的不知道应该开心，还是伤心难过。我真的好就没有穿校服了，感觉是如何，我也不太清楚。两个多月了！现在我的头真的很痛，应为我已经开始烦恼今年会过得怎么样。我很想看一看我的新老师们，还有我的晚辈们！没办法，rv 的学生都没有o levels, 我今年没有机会在华中遇到他们了。：（
今天学会了整个athena fac dance...真的是酷极了！woonlue 是我的舞伴，很多都笑他跳得不好，但我觉得他是跳得不错的。哈哈。好了，我得和爸妈去买年货。新年快到了。真期待着新年的到来。我每一次都很喜欢新年的气氛。：）走了！

BBQ party@my house

2009-01-08T18:32:00.007+08:00

Something's wrong with youtube. I cant go to the website sometimes. I think the traffic is too heavy. Anyway, I am here to blog about our BBQ party last Sunday. Yeap quite a long time ago, didnt really have the chance to blog about it at all. :) Now the reality of school reopening is hitting me real hard, and I am going to miss the longest school holiday I have ever had. I shant say if it is the most interesting holiday, cos I think my best holiday was after my Olevels, where I had no stress at all, and everything was playing, no homework, all the way to Jan 2. WTH to those Olevel graduates this year who are able to have fun till Feb 1. Tsk tsk.

Anyway, back to the bbq party. It was really tiring as I had to move around both pits ensuring everything was fine and that everyone had enough food. In the end, the 4a side had lots of leftover. It made me eat lotso f sausages everyday. And I seriously cannot finish all the otah. Linus didnt tell me earlier he needed otahs, if not I would have given him the whole packet. NO two packets somemore. Wooh. But it was rather fun as I was able to see all my friends back together again, it was quite sad the PRCs didnt come back in time except Tian2, but nevermind...Tian2 bought the bear for Aaron, SO CUTIE BEARIE! Hmm~~~

I think I didnt really eat much, I didnt get to eat otah at all! I ate Adeline's meehoon ( very nice! Say thank u to ur grandma for me! :)) And we played with sparklers too while making out words. Jon tay the pro produced a super nice heart. I think I was the one with the most beautiful heart. Haha. See, I am so romantic. :)))))))) Anw, later the 4a guys went into the gym (!!!!) to watch Campus Superstar performance by Jiamin ( from rvhs!!!). She sings really well, especially Think Of Me. Of course, the worst part of the day is clearing up. Its good that there would be cleaners to clear up the charcoal though. But we still had lots of rusbbish and leftovers to worry about. Lucky Kaihui brought just enough trash bag. If not we DIE. Haha. Anyway, it was a great gathering for me. I hope you guys enjoyed urselves tht day. Till we meet, next monday! SCHOOL STARTS! Gonna miss my 4a mates! They are really my best friends and maybe forever best friends. Seeing them again makes me feel really blessed to have them all back tgt again.

My 厕所伴！

4 ANGELIC PEOPLE. Record attendance!! Woohoo! 25 peeps!

6a FTW!

Spark of LOVE.

Little Nyonya

2009-01-05T23:55:00.006+08:00

Oh gosh this is the best film drama ever made in Singapore. Finally, we have produced something to be proud of. I was thinking when Mediacorp can close down. After years of anticipating a good and decent drama, I am finally able to watch a great drama when I am 18! Although I can say the show is not 100% perfect, I think it is a commendable acheivement. Great work, Little Nyonya team! I have never enjoyed a Singapore drama that much before, let alone shed tears for a singapore drama, ( not counting movies like I Not Stupid 2). Yeap I nearly shed tears for the last episode which was shown on tv today. The scene was Yuzhu and Chen Xi screaming for Yueniang who was still in the burning cottage. Another scene was when the whole family prayed for Yueniang after she passed away. Another one was when Yueniang and Chen Xi were at the train tracks, where Yueniang told him not to look for her ever again. ( I thought the scene looked awkward. Who in the world talk on the train tracks, when trains will pass by anytime? Of course they took the scene at present day, where frequency of trains passing by per hour is almost zero.) Anyway, this is a great drama, showcasing a very different and unique culture of Singapore and Malacca which no other parts of the world has, and some culture we can truly call it Uniquely Singapore. This is called the Peranakan Culture, which is the mix of malay and chinese blood, and the traditions and practises portray both malay and chinese culture in it. It is considered a melting pot of both malay and chinese tradition. I am particularly interested in peranakan culture is because I myself is a Peranakan. Yep, my great-grandparents are pure Peranakans, which mean I should be the Forth generation of Peranakans. Cool right? No one can tell that I have a bit of malay blood in me, but it is the traditions left behind by my ancestors that say it all. My grandparents( paternal) cant speak chinese, but they can speak english, malay and Hokkien, the usual languages that most Peranakans speak. Now I really hope that one day I will learn more about my roots, starting by visiting the Peranakan Musuem recently renovated in Singapore and the other one in Malacca. :)
Joanne Peh acts really well especially in the last few episodes when she had to act as a mentally unsound woman. She is one professional actress!

Nyonya traditional costumes are really nice.

Tao-jie very funnny.

I will blog about 6a/4a barbecue party tomorrow when I return from school after my fac dance session. I have finally learnt the whole dance! It is seriously cool!

Singapore New Year 2009 Fireworks at Marina Bay

2009-01-01T16:32:00.001+08:00

Fireworks - Countdown @ Boon Lay 2009

2009-01-01T16:12:00.001+08:00

Fireworks near my estate. Too bad I couldnt see it, I just heard lots of bombing sounds and noises from my new house...I would have been able to see these fireworks if I didnt move house. :(

2009-01-01T01:09:00.001+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

2009!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR SINGAPORE!!!!!!!!

2008-12-27T22:58:00.002+08:00

Today is the hottest day I have ever experienced. I think temperatures soared to at least 34c! Wooo! The UV rays were so strong that I was waiting at the bus stop and I just felt my whole body burning...When I got home I was really burnt. Shouldve gone swimming! ;p
Anyway, today I went to school to learn the new athena fac dance! It is damn cool, seriously. Next year's dance is much much better compared to this year's one. Yeah, I finally get to have a taste of hip hop, its fun but I dont think I am good at it though. Erps. Haha. lol. Anyway, i really cant wait for my barbecue party with my RV4A and HC6A frens. Cool hur!! Both classes together! Yeah make new friends, thts what party is all about!! I am actually quite excited to be honest. Haha. I do hope response will be good though, 4a so far 20 confirmed coming, and 6a about 12-13 replied...so actually this is already the maximum number of people allowed at the pits. Oh no! Have I invited too many people?? HECK. This is party time, and not everyone will be at the pits at all times. Just once where everyone come together to take pictures thts all. Cool, we shall have a 4a/6a mass photo session...
Oh btw guys, do bring badminton rackets, basketball, sparklers, cards, etc.. cya!

2008-12-25T17:27:00.001+08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

2008-12-24T12:40:00.003+08:00

Singapore Flyer came to a halt yesterday amidst some technical problems and power failure. Tsk tsk what a disgrace. Who will dare to sit on it anytime soon? lol. I wouldnt like the idea of rapelling down the capsule to the ground. Imagine being brought down by a rope about 4-8 storeys. Argh. I have a fear of heights. SOme people even had to resort to urinating in plastic bags or pails. Oh man. The smell would have filled the capsule. Yucks. Too bad Sg flyer is not like the London Eye where there are first-aid kits and also packs of food in case something happens to the wheel. So too bad the Singapore Civil Defence Force people have to bring them food by climbing the towering wheel. Wooo. Thts so brave of them, especially with the monsoon winds at this time of the year. It is not fun at all.
Looks like a dead person hanging

2008-12-21T16:51:00.003+08:00

Another christmas present for me!! A River Island watch! Woohoo!
Really nothing to do now. I am thinking of having a barbecue party after new year, as in 1st Jan. Probably 7th Jan which is wednesday. I wonder most of our prc frens will be back in singapore by then. Should be...since school reopens on 12th jan. And I have not completed my homework. Time to mug now. Hmph. Class tests are coming up. But hell, no. Christmas comes first. Where shall we go for dinner on Christmas Eve? I always wanted to go to The Jewel Box to experience a different dining experience..but I wonder if the place is fully booked for the rest of the december. :( If thats the case, christmas will be spent slacking and doing nothing at home, while waiting forever for snow to descend upon singapore. I am hoping to go to Orchard one last time before it is going to get crazily crowded for last minute christmas shopping. Otherwise I want to go to Singapore River. Dont ask me why.
Now what other christmas presents am i going to get?? =D

2008-12-17T16:18:00.003+08:00

We had our class outing on Sunday. Sadly, the monsoon season is here, and so there is 60-80% chance of rain everyday now...and that day, it was already drizzling when I woke up and I knew that the plan to go to Sentosa with my class has totally gone into drain. I thought maybe we could watch some movie or play bowling or pool. So in the end, instead of doing all these stuff, we ended up posing ourselves as tourists and toured Marina Bay and took photos with the Merlion, our tourism icon. LOL. Then we walked to Lau Pa Sat to have our dinner before walking back to Esplanade outdoor theatre to catch a christmas performance. The Philippinos were the performers and they could perform really well, indeed. This really changed my impression of Philippinos. They are a nice bunch of people, very happy and enthusiastic about life even though they are suffering and are not as wealthy as other Asians. I kinda had a bad impression of them after a bad encounter with a Philippino at Orchard last year. My friends and I were walking along the street, mind you the street is so big. Of course there are lots of people there, Orchard what...BUT this Philippino was walking behind me...and my friends and I were walking quite slowly cos we were looking at some stuff outside the shops and she sort of raised her voice at me " Excuse me, cant you walk faster?" I was like, hey this whole street is so big, why must you walk behind me? She gave me a glaring look and strutted off. I was boiling. But hell, I dont really care. But from then on, I always thought they are an arrogant bunch of people. Maybe many of them suffered a lot working as maids in Singapore, so they are letting their steam off on their off-days....forgivable. :) But this performance was really good, although I dont understand their language, I can tell how much they treasure Christmas.
Most imporatantly, I learnt the importance of arranging and organising an outing, and that not everyone in the group will be happy with my arrangements and I have to make do with it. Criticisms are good sometimes, but sometimes his criticisms go too much overboard, and that make me pissed. He seems so unhappy with everything I do. He said this outing is very boring, and was trying to ask who the organiser was and that the organiser is so lousy. I think he knew it was obviously me, since I am CT-rep, so was he just trying to piss me off? I dont know. It has been many times now, he has lots to complain, but he does not do stuff himself. Next time he organise an outing himself then. Luckily I smsed my friends for assurance that this outing was still fruitful, and yep they really made me calmed down. Thanks guys for liking this random outing even though I think it is the most random outing ever. Haha. At least I enjoyed it, and I am glad to see u all again, and the scene where everyone is giving away souvenirs is so heartwarming. I feel like I am home again. =D

2008-12-10T16:18:00.002+08:00

TRUMPETS FTW!
And welcome to HCband juniors!

Simcity Societies

2008-12-09T23:54:00.007+08:00

Yippee I have just received my early christmas present!! Yeah thanks a lot mum and dad! Love ya lots! Rock on man! I have just gotten the best present of two years of my life, the other best was Mp3. LOL. Anyway, this present may not be ex, but it is the game that is super cool! Although the loading seems a littel bit slow, I heck care since I love urban planning so much. My sis saw the slow loading process and would rather wash a toilet than play it. Too bad...
Anyway, I am sure most of you guys wouldn't like to play it, since its a little boring if you dont like architectureand stuff...since there is not much of excitement. So there...
Whatever, I took some wonderful screenshots to share with all of you, hope you like it. I think I am talking to myself. :(
Boohoooo.
Okay, finally get to go out with friends tomorrow. My holidays had always been pathetic, and I am make sure I am not going to make this holiday a pathetic one too. This weekend will be our class outing. I think I am going to put it on Sunday. I know its a family day, but hmm, I shall check the response again on class blog later. But confirmed most people chose Sentosa, so we shall go Sentosa on that day. I think Meiling mentioned about raining plans. If it rains, then we shall catch a movie at Vivocity...if nobody wants, then we shall go take a bus to Marina Centre and play pool or play bowling. Come on, its going to rain that day. Chill guys!! =D

BY The Way, the game is Simcity Societies. LOL

Yup I built it all by myself!!

Another city built by me! This city is much much cleaner and is built on a high altitude place somewhere in the north. News said there was a cold snap! Cool hur!

Fog surrounding the city as dawn approaches.

Look at the sunrise! WOW!

Noel Concert 2008

2008-12-05T16:07:00.003+08:00

I think we did really well yesterday, one of the best performances we have put up so far this year. All thanks to all of us who spent so much time preparing the pieces...although I admit I am still lagging behind when come to the harder pieces such as Machu Pichu and Gelato...XD Anyway, I realloy enjoyed myself while on stage and it was really great performing with all my section mates. Wow look at the sheer number of trumpeters this round. Ten!! Thats really a lot! Sadly my sis told me that she didnt really think trumpet is one of the prominent instruments in band. But but, imo, I think it is really an important instrument, and the instrument where mistakes can be heard super easily. Thats why I always do not dare to play so loudly, in case I miss some beats..
I am glad the concert is finally over now. My dream now is not to get itouch since it is highly impossible to buy such gadgets in the current economic situation...but to get Simcity Societies game!! Dont laugh guys I like architecture and urban planning, so excuse me if u think this game is boring or not to ur taste. Hmph.

Okay. I also know that it is time to actually start studying for next year. I know ten weeks after the start of school will be our first blocks. Thats really frightening. I am totally immersed in holiday mood now, please dont make me think about exams. It is the last thing I want to think about right now. Christmas is around the corner, so hohoho, spread the christmas cheer! It is really great to see so many christmas trees in other people's houses seen from outside my window. Those lights and baubles shining before my very eyes are just...mesmerising. =D

Okay. Santa. Please grant my wish. I really hope my wish will come true. I said my wish already, didn't I? So stop asking me whats my wish. And no, I am not wishing for a girlfriend. =P

insane christmas lights!! lol!

2008-11-28T18:03:00.001+08:00

Yup the title says it all!! Wouldnt it be cool if Orchard Road has such lights that goes with songs too??? Wouldnt that be great!! If they do tht one day at orchard road, it will be the best christmas present I would have ever had. Seriously.

Sydney

2008-11-28T11:35:00.009+08:00

Just faced some problems just now. My rubbish chute emitted lots of smoke!! I was quite stunned and we called the security guards and luckily some residents have already raised the issue to them. At first I did not knwo what to do, as a few of us at home smelled burning stuff and did not know the source of it. Later when we found out that there was smoke coming out from the rubbish chute, I went to pour water down the chute but to no avail...anyway, matter solved, the guards switched on the water taps from the top and rained down on the chute and the fire was put out in no time. Phew. I am still recovering from the huge inhalation of smoke.

Oh after seeing the attacks on Mumbai, it raised fears again that Singapore may come under similar attacks if we are complacent. We have so many Americans and Britons living among us. We can be the next target any time soon. Gosh. Protect singapore.

Okay. Lets continue with my trip to Australia.
On the fourth day, we proceeded to Sydney via domestic flight. We started with going to the top of Sydney Tower to enjoy panoramic views of Sydney City Centre. Then we went for a harbour cruise to look at landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and the The Sydney Harbour Bridge. It was really a sight to behold. Muahaha.
We also went to their wildlife park and took pictures with kangaroos and koalas...interesting animals. You will never get to see them in other parts of the world. Sydney Aquarium wasnt that interesting though, maybe Underwater world is better. But I think thats because we didnt have the time to visit the Great Barrier Reef exhibit. Thats the greatest regret for the whole trip. It was supposed to be the one and only barrier reef exhibit in the world!!! URGH!. Kawaii penguins though...super cute..yeah its true frosticfire. And dont look at their fat bodies, they can swim super fast in the water! Never judge a book by its cover!! =D
We also went to Blue Mountains National Park, again I forgot why they call it Blue Mountains, but its true the mountains do look a little blue in colour. We also saw the Three Sisters. One day I will build a Three Brothers right here at Bukit Timah Hill and make it an attraction...haha then our tourism will BOOOOM! :)
Thats about all in Sydney. We went shopping at Chinatown and Queen Victoria building and went some sightseeing at night in the city. Cool. I love their white lamps on the streets at night, not like sg's , so dim and dark at night. CHANGE THE LAMPS QUICK!

Melbourne/Sydney

2008-11-26T21:44:00.013+08:00

Hey guys! I am back from Australia! Aussie is amazing! Although the cities I went are not as big or dense as Singapore ( Sydney's city centre is smaller than Singapore's), there are lots of places of interest and lots of old and victorian style buildings. Sydney's harbour is amazing! It really lives up to its name of being the greatest and most beautiful harbour in the world!
Weather wise is not what I expected. It was very cold in Melbourne considering the fact that we prepared mostly summer clothes there. There was even a night where the temperatures dropped to 6c. It was torturous.
On the first day we visited the Winery, Strawberry Farm and Ashcombe Maze. Then at night we went for a tour around the city and visited St Patrick's Cathedral. Their sun sets around 8+ pm...its summer time remember? Longer days and shorter nights. Haha geog geog!!

It is already 8:15 pm and the sun still hasnt set!!!

On the second day, we went to Warrock Cattle Farm, took a train called Billy Steam Train and at night we visited Philip Island and watched the penguin Parade, where the penguins started going ashore in the evening. Its a pity I couldnt take the photos though, it is not allowed. Sad...the penguins were so cute. :)
At the cattle farm, we managed to feed the cows with milk.( er i got confused here, was I feeding the cows their own milk??)

Poor sheep! It was struggling so much!

Kangarooos!!

On the third day, we had our free time. We didnt manage to see much of Melbourne because of the freaky weather, but we managed to go to their main station where trains travel to other parts of Asutralia, and wow the architecture is wonderful!! Oh yah, one second it rained, and the next the sky cleared and it was so blue. What crazy weather. On the way from hotel to the shopping centre about 8 streets away, i opened and closed my umbrella almost 5 times. It was that crazy. The winds were very strong I guess, which made the dark clouds move very fast.

Okay I shall talk about my Sydney trip tomorrow. I am still very very tired now...need to sleep. Jet lag not so bad...3 hours different only, but the travelling and all tht made me so tired...yawn..
STAY TUNED!

Anticipation

2008-11-18T19:10:00.002+08:00

Hey guys! I am here to publicise our Noel Concert 2008 held on the 4th Dec 2008 at college Auditorium 7pm. Tickets selling at $6 only! Come grab them before it is too late! I know we kinda have quite a lot of concerts this year. But hey, 6a has 5 people from band. So just come on down and enjoy great music pieces such as Waltzing Cat, Superman, Machu Picchu, Gelato and other nice pieces! I dont think there are any christmas pieces..I dont remember practising any...don noe why we are associating it with a christmas concert. Who knows? There may be surprises? Ask jj!
Anyway, I will be away for holidays from wed to next tues. So don curse me if I didnt reply your smses or find me facebook-inactive for the whole week! :)

And last thing. I was thinking of having a barbecue party at my house sometime near christmas and after Aaron's sleepover at his house. I am not sure how many of u like this idea. I hope to get some response after returning to singapore next week. I need to book the pits early cos its super hard to book them. ( i need to wake up early and queue at management office to get a good pit, which is in the middle of the swimming pool!!) So..haha thts all I guess. I really cant wait to go to Australia...and don miss me guys! But hey I know I will cant help but miss my 6a mates. Sobzz.

Fac Comm Outing

2008-11-13T16:07:00.008+08:00

We had our first fac comm outing at East Coast PARKKK!! Woohoo. We had fac comm meeting in the morning. Then we got free pizzas for lunch. Woots. All thanks to shanghai OCIP guys. Hehe...Anyways, after that we played squash. I somehow sucked that day. Cant blame me, I am on medication now, not that I am proud of it though. :(
Then when we realised it was starting to rain, the few of us who had nothing else to do decided to make our way to ecp. Note that I missed the part where I got hit by a flying basketball while playing basketball at the court. Thanks shengkun.
We also couldn't get a cake for Zi Yuan. Many many sorrys zy...its just a few minutes before ur birthday! Happy birthday Ziyuan!! Really sorry for not getting cake for u.
We stopped at a wrong bus stop and had to walk hell a long distance along ECP to the jumbo seafood restaurant. URGH. But its really fun walking in the slight drizzle and talking to fac com members. Hehe.
I had a sudden allergy to seafood resulting in outbreak of pimples and and i don noe, like lao sai every day. Its so tiring u noe. Emoed for quite some time over my "disfigured" face. But i really hope antibiotics will help. Hmm. But this medicine seems to make me quite weak this few days, thts why i didn't even get the chance to dodge the freaking basketball. Thanks again shengkun.
Anyway, I couldnt eat the crabs that Mrs Tan ordered. And its my favourite!! Sob sobz.
But I really had a great time eating wif all of them. And we started the "ziyuan joke" after I accidentally spilled tea onto his pants. And hmm, maybe only the guys sitting at the table knows wht I am talking about. LOLSSS. HOT AND COLD! Haha. Made zy cannot stand up...HAHAHA.
The best part was going home though. Haha. The few of us, fuxing, jiayun, yongji, ziyuan, woonlue and i went home early. The rain looked so beautiful at night. But I guessed I sheltered woonlue too much under the umbrella i got quite wet. lol. WAH. AIyaaaaa...jon tay so gentlemanly. wadeva...
okay, in the end left woon lue and i taking bus to cityhall, she to somerset. Thats where we parted and I had to go home myself. Poor boy. Great day. I am so glad I didnt go home after the meeting, which I really wanted to since I thought I couldn't eat seafood. :)

Envy of The Seven Seas

2008-11-08T15:50:00.012+08:00

It was really a success. There are so many more athenians at last night's event compared to A-D-NA. Great job fac comm!! I think this round all of us really put in our best effort to make it successful. It was really tough, moving almost 3/4 of the canteen tables and benches all the way to the inner plaza and back again after all the event. (of course must thank some really kind souls for helping us even though they are not from athena fac comm. :D) Anyways, I really had a great time yesterday despite the heat. The food was great. We thought there would not be enough food for all, but I think in the end it was quite enough for all of us. The food wasn't fantastic, but was good enough for a thumbs-up from me. The "ship" was superb, I must say. I think it was really the highlight of the event, where all classes gathered there to take pictures. Like some tourist attraction of something. We shouldn't have torn it down in the end. Sobz...
My class is super funny. They bought so much extra food. I thought we would not finish them, but wola, most of the food was gone by time the event ended. And it ended really fast. Imagine hours of sweat and preparations and in the end the whole thing ended just like that. Wow. Cant believe it. Hehe.
Today woke up at 12 30pm. Super super tired. In the morning someone called. I was still sleeping. I thought it was "some" people calling. Dream on haha. Later I realised it was from band. I forgot all about band!!! Gosh! Anyways I would have been too tired to go for band. I really need a good rest. Till now my whole body still aching. Haha. BY tml I will be as good as new!!! Yeah!
Back to boring days at home again?? Thurs is supposed to be fac outing. And I think I cant go cos I have band practice. Isn't this frustrating? I really never get the chance to go out wif my fac comm mates. Frustrating indeed. :(
Heck, its time to relax before starting again. Homework FTW!
Charmaine with her spastic look!

Early birds!

Class 6A!!!

PW GROUP!

2008-11-05T22:19:00.001+08:00

OH PLEASE HELP ME. I am now mourning the death of my HC band t-shirt. ITS GONE!!! Oh no!! I think i misplaced it on the day of athena grad night when I had to change into my blazer from the band t-shirt. Gosh where did I put it after that??? Where? Someone help me!! Will it be at the college reception? Like after so many days or even weeks? Someone, please. HC band t-shirt is my life. :(

2008-11-04T21:45:00.002+08:00

I guess i am dying from boredom. Two days doing nothing. Watching Heroes Season Two, ( be jealous =D), watching some weird japanese dvd, ( not porn hello...), and just slacking, or playing com games...I have decided to quit playing simcity since all my cities were wiped out when I changed computer at the start of this year. URGH my years of effort of building japanese towns, and even a replica of Singapore and New York, all put to waste. WHATS THIS???!!!! Anyway, I am not a fan of dota, or warcraft, or wadeva, cos if I get addicted, I will die. Next year I dont need to graduate liao. I am a person easily addicted to games. I was once so addicted to maple story, I nearly collapsed in front of my com. When sch reopened, I still continued playing. I would pretend studying when under the watchful eyes of my parents, and then turn on the com and play when they are not looking. That was me then. Maybe I am more matured now, but who knows, 江山难改，本性难移啊！

Anyways, maybe i shall start playing O2jam, seems cool. lolz. :]
Next few days are going to be much much more fun. Tml, we will be gg to Aaron's house to prepare Mr Pang's pressie, uh uh, hush...Thurs is going to be preparations for Fri's fac outing. ( COME ABOARD MEE SHIPP!!!) and also band practice. Uh huuh. And fri is the big day!! I am sure athena fac comm can put up a great outing for athenians!! Athenians and athena fa comm FTW!!!

My mood was supposed to be good this morning. But no signallll...how? Should I just give up? It is a rare chance. But if fate does not allow, I have no choice. Maybe I can choose a much better one. Who should I take??? Boa, chrysanthemun, or sports Freak? Its time to make a choice. :)

What was I talking just now? wadeva.

OH yeah! Watching the " I survived the Japanese Game show" rocks!! I love seeing the angmohs in great huge baby suits spinning round the cute little cage. HAHA. Thats humiliating! But anyway Japanese people play such crazy stuff. They are a weird bunch of people. Don worry, I still like sushi and sashimi. Haha.

Tata.

Last Day of School ( J1)

2008-10-31T19:31:00.011+08:00

How time flies. Half of my life in JC is gone. GONE!!! Gone with the wind. What have I achieved? Its time to think through thoroughly...

And heyhey! Thanks to Samuel, some of us brought our sec sch uniform to change so that we could take some photos. We became the center of attraction! Quite AA la. But super cool!! I think we were more attractive than the Apollo Reverse. haha.
Sorry for the tone...lol! Who tell them to mock at our banner calling our event " Choy of the Seven seas" instead of " Envy of the Seven Seas"?? Hmm..joking joking. =D Athena fac outing is gonna be much much more fun! Aye AYE CAPTAIN!!!

Anyways, we took lotsa pics...and I just realised I looked better in white clothes, not that I look better in RV uniform ( cos I hate shorts), haha...u get what I mean. Anyhows...

Last day of school liao leh. And today is our PW OP!! And no more PW!!!!! YippEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I am like so happy now! :))

Looking at you.

2008-10-29T00:17:00.003+08:00

I cant make myself look at you right in the eyes. I dont have the courage. Please give me the courage to do that. Cos I'm afraid once I look right into your eyes, my heart will stop beating.

Best of Noose: Maid Trg Sch/Barbarella Beach/Lulu and Balls

2008-10-27T23:09:00.001+08:00

The maid accent rockss. Barbarella is retarded and the girl from china is super cool!Like the talking about the balls.

Jonathan is now friends with Boredom and Confusion.

2008-10-26T12:47:00.003+08:00

Its PW. Its tuition. Its piano. Its eating. It sleeping. Its homework. This is life. And it is uber boring. Is it time for someone to make my life more fulfilling? Will that help the very bit? Is it worthwhile? What is going to be the consequences? Negative? Positive? I am not sure. And this is an abnormal one. Who will accept it? Myself? Family? Friends? Or only that particular fulfill er? I dont know. And I dont want an answer yet.

THIS FREAKING #^&$%^*$&*@$^#% PW has cost me my time with my family during the weekends. I am so busy during the weekends now that I cant even spend time with my family. WHY??? Why must it be so cruel? And why people dont understand??? Weekends is a time to rest and relax and play with your sister and make sushi with your sister and go to your grandparents house and eat and go for a swim with friends or just slacking in front of your computer serving the net or playing online games. Isnt that supposed to be POST PROMO events and HOLIDAY season?????? WHY is PW making my life so miserable?? I ...

Its just three days left before official school holidays start for me. I am so confused. Is it a cause for cheer? OR is it time to groan over the large pile of homework to be done. But come to think of it. Its A levels. Its not PSLE. It is going to determine my future in university and life. Its the peak of your life. So, oh wells. I am confused. Its either enjoyment or suffer now, enjoy the fruit later. But how come I have not enjoyed any fruit so far? Not ripe yet? Or is it that I dont bother to ripen the fruit? Is it my mistake? I am confused.

Thats why my life is so boring. I have no zeal to strive yet. I have no power in my brain to work doubly hard. I have no determination to be first in everything. I have lost that zeal since sec 2. ( not counting O levels when its natural everyone will chiong). What is going to give me the push again??

Hey Jonathan. Confusion and Boredom superoke'd you.
Want to superpoke them back?

Jokes

2008-10-17T18:29:00.002+08:00

My results is a joke. So far. Lets see if the rest of the papers returned to me are better.
At the mo, lets mug PW and have some fun!!

UPSET IS UNHEALTHY
The mother of a problem child was advised by a psychiatrist, "You are far too upset and worried about your son. I suggest you take tranquilizers regularly."

On her next visit the psychiatrist asked, "Have the tranquilizers calmed you down?"

"Yes," the boy's mother answered.

"And how is your son now?" the psychiatrist asked.

"Who cares?" the mother replied.

Crazy Three Guys
One day avant-garde violinist Malcolm Goldstein, US Ambassador to Spain Eduardo Aguirre, and television's Tony Danza were on a jungle vacation together when they were caught by a tribal group.

Before they were about to be executed, they pleaded to the Queen of the Tribe for mercy. She said, ''Get me something good to eat. If I like it, you will be freed.'' The three men looked at each other and agreed. They then went into the jungle to look for some food

Malcolm Goldstein was the first to come back. He came up to the altar and offered grapes. The Queen tasted one and immediately spat it out. She ordered her servants to shove the rest of the grapes up Malcolm Goldstein's ass. The servants did their duty, and left Malcolm Goldstein lying on theground screaming.

Eduardo Aguirre was the next to arrive with some yummy apples. The same thing happened to him, but curiously he laughed as the apples were shoved up his ass. Malcolm Goldstein was shocked. Here he was with grapes up his ass howling in pain, but Eduardo Aguirre had several apples in his ass and he was laughing. He asked him ''What the hell are you laughing about?''

A laughing Eduardo Aguirre replied ''Tony Danza's coming back with a watermelon!!!'''

1 Litre of Tears

2008-10-13T23:41:00.002+08:00

Aaron seriously sucks. Why did he introduce to me such a sad drama? It is much much worse than the Autumn in My Heart. Gosh look at the amount of tears that flowed not from the show, but from my own eyes. Aaron said he didnt cry, only nearly cried? Oh no, Aaron, you arh...tsk tsk. Even I was shocked over how I reacted to the scenes. The part where Aya's younger sister scolded her brother for being ashamed of having a disabled sister, gosh it was so heart-wrenching...I just felt like I was the brother. I understand his plight, its hard to accept it, but yeap, I am glad Aya's sister was matured enough to understand the need to love their disabled sister, and this love really touched me a lot. I am more of an emo person, not as bad, but still my eyes were quite red before going to bed...thanks to Aaronniee...anyway, most importantly, this show tells me to accept the disabled in our society and to learn from their courage and optimism in life even when they are suffering. It brings me to realise also that all these people are around us everyday. Heros are all around us. Yeap Paralympics champs are no different...they are truly my heros and heroines. These people....I really salute them. They have the true human spirit, which I admit I do not even have sometimes. I really must learn from them. KAMBATE to all disabled people!! Do not give up hope...whether it is 1 litre of tears, or millions of litres of tears, let me share the pain with you guys.

Winnie's Birthday!

2008-10-12T12:02:00.006+08:00

It was Winnie's ( aka Huyuan ) birthday yesterday. I was actually super tired after our wonderful grad night for seniors where I was the prize presenter ( I will talk about that later, huyuan moe impt. LOLLL).

We went to Citylink's NYNY for dinner. Ehh paiseh I was late. Anyways, we started ordering food and stuff. And woohooo, Louis and Woonyang decided to take the challenge of eating a super-super-cao ji super sized burger with lots and lots of fries....if they can finish the food, they get it for free!!!! Hows that!!. PRO!
Anyway, I got the feeling Woonyang was trying very hard to stuff the food inside his mouth...quite a torture isnt it? But heck, he still went to play pool with the rest of the guys in the middle of his dinner, so that he could take in some fresh air and allow some digestion before continuing with his food. Lol...he even needed to go to the toilet. Why torture yourself???? :((
Anyway, Tian2 Aaron and I went to HMV to look at some DVDs and stuff and had lots of fun making fun of the videos that we looked.
When we returned, guess what?? Louis was still drinking some other stuff! And he finished the whole plate of food!!! WOW! But Woon yang's plate still wasn't empty. I wonder if he finished eating in the end. LOL.
Anyway, the main character yesterday was supposed to be Huyuan. And yup the waiters sang a happy birthday song to huyuan.. Haha. HE was all red. ANd he got an ipod shuffle from the few of us la. So lucky! :)
Okay, thats all. Pictures!

ATHENA J2 Graduation Day
It was super tiring giving out prizes on stage, but it was really a great experience for me. Yup!!!

Bravery

2008-10-05T18:10:00.001+08:00

I look at the water below me. I know i cant swim. But i know my wings can help me when i am in the water. My first time diving into the water is filled with nervousness and worry. I am just a moth. How can i swim? Maybe that pink float down there can help me. Yes. I shall jump now.... What happened to the moth in the end?

Rejoice!!

2008-10-03T18:05:00.006+08:00

Exams are over!!! Rejoice everybody. Yeah yeah lets dance!!!
Its time to let your hair down, and do a twist and turn and somersault and woossshhh! You drop into a pool of happiness and relief that you are not going to see demand and supply curves for some times..Yipee!! But the joy is still not the joy i experienced after the last paper during olevels. At that time i felt like jumping off the cliff or bridge, not suicide la, but some bungee jumping. A stone removed from your heart. This feeling is uber and super great!!!

I have learnt to realise that some friends are not worth fighting for. You tell them a moment ago that we are meeting to watch movie together after the exams. The reply " yes of course! Sure no problem! No worries!" The next day when you ask for confirmation this person just disappears into thin air! Can you imagine that!!!! Totally no reply. I was DAOed totally. Wah. Nice one man. And this is not the first time. From today onwards I am not going to entertain such people. Its worthless. I feel like a noob being nice to this person all the while and what i get is such friendship. Well not any more. I am going to just take it as i have lost this friend. Period.

And yeah, craziness and anger aside, its time for jokessss!!!

I love this joke!! No offence made, my wonderful korean flens!!

Retarded jokeeee.....hey it made my day though! :)

F1 Craze. I am crazy too!

2008-09-29T17:20:00.005+08:00

Lets not talk about exams alright? Its hell enough for me. I have one more paper, not before I can go crazy. Many other jcs have finished their exams, and were going crazy over the FIRST GRAND PIX NIGHT RACE IN THE WORLD. Sg is defnitely fond of first and tallest and biggest and best in the world. LOL. Seriously. Thats the Singaporean's kiasuness that make us stand out.
Indeed, we have acheived the impossible, of staging the world's first night race. Melbourne was actually requested to stage a similar one, but they rejected. Argh too bad for them, its inaugural race would be and was held in singapore yesterday!!! Yippeees. I was so glad I was able to hear the engines roar right at the heart of our city. Its the pulsing beat of a young nation, so eager to rise as a hip and cool city. I think we are slowly going to achieve this aim. ( whether or not some foreigners still hate us for being autocratic i heck care). And okay. Talk about the race.

The top three funniest and silliest things that happened during the race:
1. I wasnt there. Thats really silly. I couldnt hear the engines roar from my bedroom. Thats a silly thought considering how far i live away from the city centre.
1. Masse was damn FARNEY. He pulled along the elephant trunk ( to be exact the pump or wadeva equipment ) during refuelling, and caused two of his teammates to fly into the air ( that was exaggerated). He was given a penalty. He finished at 13th out of 15th. What a farney guy.
3. My aunt told me she ran across the track. I was so worried a car may just come in a fraction of a second and hit her. I told her to be careful. She told me," No lar, i ran across the track after the whole event so i that i can visualise myself driving the f1 car la. " -_-'''
4. Tiantian was at the event. The funny thing was that she didnt support anybody. But she just didnt support Alonso, the winner for this round of the race. Why??? " Because he is not as handsome as the russian basketball star." Agreed.
5. The woman who sang the national anthem of singapore flew all the way from US to Sg to sing. WTH???? SHe wasted like at least 2000 bucks just to travel through and fro. I bet she just wants to skip her most exhausting " Build-up-my-lungs" physical education lesson in US. ( she is in a singing school.)
6. PM looked a little bit out of place at the ceremony. The F1 drivers sort of daoed him. How could they?? :(((((
7. The trophy is disastrous. DISASTER. CATASTPROPHE. Looks like a bunch of inverted metallic rectugular shaped bananas. Good idea though. Brings out the look of tropical island paradise of singapore. Gosh they should have made a trophy that looked like plate of chilli crabs. That indeed define Singapore according to wikipedia and the infamous The Noose ( host Adriana WOOOOW).
8.Cant think of any more.
9. I am having a sore throat after being forced by woony to eat fish and chips with them.
10. I am feeling guilty now. Still got physics leh.

PICTURESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS:

rvhs band 2

2008-09-05T18:01:00.001+08:00

What the hell???? RVHS band from US playing hwa chong school song??? LOL!!!!!
note: its not rv of singapore. i realised there are dozens of schools in the world with the school name river valley. lol yet again and again.
Yep there are hundreds of schools in the world having the same school song melody as hwa chong. Little known fact? Now you know!!!

BIrthdays and outings

2008-09-02T21:28:00.003+08:00

Celebrating sy jj and meiling birthday...argh. My pocket lots of holes liao. LOL
On last fri, we went to marina square to celebrate teacher's day with mr pang. The food is super nice. Forgot the name already. Heck.
But i spent quite a bit at it. Around 20 bucks. But it was quite worthwhile la. I learnt more about electronics and stuff all thanks to sun shuo...make me no more noob at laptops and ipods. Haha. They mug at these stuff!!! 0.0
Anyway, everyone starts cam whoring and i am always the one trying to dodge the cam. Yes be guilty shuyang...you know you are the culprit. LOL.
Oh ya, on Thursday, we went to watch the Air Force Airshow or something, it was at the Air Force Musuem. It is super cool la, the planes dived and turned with all the cool stunts, and some mini bombs were also dropped. Then the parachuters were parachuting down, and I was emoing over whether i needed to parachute in army. PLease someone say no need. :( So everything is great. u noe what? I think hc people are very nice!!!! Seriously, they are one of the nicest people i have ever seen on this earth. From pri sch, to sec sch, to jc, I think they are really a grea bunch of guys. Maybe its just my class...so yes, i am very lucky to be in 6a. I seldom see such united class before. Even the PRCs are so close to us, so unique bunch of PRCs!!! Yeah. I am blessed.

Okay. Picturessss:::

Tian2 just gone back to china. I doubt she can read my posts. China block blogspot.com
Hmmm

Anyway, it is the start of the school hols, yet i dont feel like hols at all. Most of the time i am looking down at my books....sian...

True Winner Of Globalisation

2008-08-18T19:06:00.002+08:00

Globalisation is an umbrella term encompassing various processes like the interdependence, interaction and increased connectivity of economies, cultures and governments. In essence, globalisation can be summed up to be the "shrinking of the globe".
The winner of globalisation has always got to be the Westerners...bla bla bla. And the talking goes on and on, praising western values, praising democracy, upholding values of freedom and equality.
But you have never realised however, that no one has ever put an exact time as to which is the period when globalisation started and no one has actually realised that globalisation is not a good phenomenon, but at the same times creates this catchy phrase, which I am sure everyone knows. the very famous " One World, One Dream". You dont know, but this is so politically in depth that maybe not many people take it seriously. Be warned. The country we are seeing everyday on newspapers is going to create a One World One Dream. And this I believe, will be the start of globalisation. Yes. The true winner of globalisation is not the Westerners, and is not China either, but in the future, it will be some country that takes the lead and bring globalisation to your doorstep. Its not that kind of thing like 100 MacDonalds' outlets opening across China everyday, but it will be something revolutionary. And who can make it shall be the true winner of globalisation. Can China do it? Its hard. I dont know if they can make it in the end. jiayou lor.

Emoing all day long. Whats the point? No point. Life is short. Enjoy every bit and second of it. Treasure it. Dont make everyday a thorn in the flesh. :)

Singapore's First medal in 48 years

2008-08-16T14:44:00.002+08:00

SINGAPORE'S SECOND OLYMPIC MEDAL IN HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yes! Singapore has gotten its first olympic medal after a medal drought of 48 years. Congratulations Singapore!! And of course to Li Jia Wei, Wang Yue Gu, and Feng Tian Wei for the wonderful effort in beating the koreans into the finals. They are now assured of a medal in the team event of Table Tennis. YESSSSSSSSSS!!!

Lets celebrate guys. Who cares where they hail from, be it China or Zimbabwe, they are carrying the singapore flag, they are wearing our flag and most importantly, they are trained in Singapore...and thats the best part. Well done girls! You have done us proud.

And now. Are they going to win China in the finals. Its hard i know, but miracles do happen and if they have the will and passion to win, they can, and $1.5 million will be theirs. Gosh I feel that the sum is really too much. Where do these money come from??? We can only guess. Imagine in the next few olympics games when more singaporeans win medal, isnt it crazy if the Sports Council got to fork out say $20 million just for the athletes with the medals??? Arh.. Food for thought.

Anyway, I have just faced one of the greatest failure of my life. I do not feel defeated. I know I didnt put in my best. Now the only thing is to try hard and go even further next year. I know I can do it. Michael Phelps' number of fans are increasing by the hundreds daily now, and who knows, I may be one of them. His will to succeed just blast him off. His connection of his brain and body makes him able to break so many records in a few events, and thats a really remarkable acheivement. Congratulations to him too. And now. Will Singapore get the gold they never dared to dream of? You can do it, Singapore. :)

I have not blogged for ages. Reason? No time. Seriously. Had been busy over band practices for national day and band exchange, and also athena post-block event, which was almost successfully held on which day?? I forgot already. Lol.
Anyway, an update on events which happened over the past week. We had Band Farewell Party for our seniors at NUS Staff Clubhouse. Yeap it was really an enjoyable night. Its the first time having such as great farewell for seniors.. Heh. Yup the food was great too. Must tell Cynthia and Liangsai " haha the fried rice nice right...told ya!!"
Ok, jus pictures to show. Some few words to ZhiJie and CaiQin:
Thank you seniors for giving me a chance to play in this wonderful trumpet section. Though I struggled with my inner self to play with much more zai players like you guys, and occasional stress over playing a new instrument, I am really glad I joined band, which is my dream cca since sec 1. You guys have made me realise my dream and I am really grateful for it. Thank you!

6A rules the BAND!

Aplloians!

Thats all folks!

Next NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATIONS@ HC!!!

Today is a great day as we are celebrating national day in school. Tml is the big day for Singapore!!! Woohoo!!
Right though the atmosphere was not as exciting as in RV, it was not bad as it is first time celebrating in a new environment in another school after 4 year. And last year I didnt get to celebrate National day remember? ISSF guys should know. *winks*.
Yup so in the morning band performed for combined morning assembly with high school section and we got to see the march past. It was not bad, minusing the scouts which screwed up in marching. Cant blame them they are not even pro at playing the wadeva instrument and still tell them to march...hmm...
Anw, after all the celebrations 6a went out for lunch at secret recipe at PLaza Sing. Then went Huyuan house....Thats all. Too bad for those who had to do PW. Heh i am doing PW now also. Quite lagging already still at chapter two. Sianzzz...
PICTURES::

Last but not least,

today is 08 08 08!!

Its Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony!!!!!!!!!!!
Yippeeeeeee. I am so excited. I am going to spend the three hours tonight watching the ceremony. Its going to be all about chinese culture and tradition! Gosh this is a great moment not only for the Chinese but also for all overseas chinese and Chinese Singaporeans like us. I cant wait. And just stop talking about human rights issues and pollution problems right now. Just enjoy the games. Want to complain? After the games then complain. George Bush is seriously ruining the games by talking about such stuff right in the nose of chinese...he is just trying to please the Americans who are pissed off with him for attending the opening ceremony. Whats their problem actually? They think they are the greatest in the world? BOycott den boycott?? I mean, they really have no rights to do such stuff either. Imagine us boycotting their olympics for invading Iraq without reasons, i doubt they would be happy too.
SO yup. I am exercising my rights to talk about such stuff. Its great studying GP. I get to talk about such stuff and discuss about these issues. Mr Shyam does improve my thoughts about current issues.
JIAYO ZHONGGUO!!!

National Day song 2008 Shine For Singapore MV (chi version) qing kong wan li

2008-07-15T21:01:00.001+08:00

I love the chinese version of this year's national day theme song. Ah last year I didnt manage to watch the national day parade because i was in india. This roud i sure will have the chance to celebrate my nation's bday...so excited....kawaiiiiii!!!
The mv very touching sia...i like the shoes with different heel length for the girl with different leg length. Er is it correct english? Ok never mind. But anyway, I think its time to sit down and think how much we actually love our homeland. That much? More? We need to love our country..okay!! Why? Seriously i have no idea, but it is natural that we must love singapore. It is our home.. Woooots. Anyway, I am jus being too touched by the theme song. Really grt song. So enjoy the song!!

ATTENTION TO GIRLS OUT THERE!
Great article which my friend sent to me through email not long ago. Read it, it is really cool and somehow I agree with almost everything he says.

You might agree with it, but when it actually happens 99% of girls don't realize it 'til it is too late
and that guy who did it is so frustrated that he has moved on to someone who will take notice.
From a guys point of view:
We don't care if you talk to other guys. We don't care if you're friends with other guys. But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the roomand you jump up and tackle him without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off. It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there.
We don't care if a guy calls you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned. Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. that it can't wait till he morning.
Also, when we tell you you're pretty/beautiful/gorgeous/cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it. Don't tell us we're wrong.We'll stop trying to convince you. The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence. Yeah, you can quote me.
Don't be mad when we hold the door open. Take Advantage of the mood im in.
LET US PAY FOR YOU! DON'T 'FEEL BAD' We enjoy doing it. It's expected. Smile and say 'thank you.'
Kiss us when no one's watching. If you kiss us when you know somebody's looking, we'll be more impressed.
You don't have to get dressed up for us. If we're going out with you in the first place, you don't have to feel the need to wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own. We like you for WHO you are and not WHAT you are. Honestly, i think a girl looks more beautiful when she's just in her pj's. Or my t-shirt and boxers, not all dolled up.
Don't take everything we say seriously. Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it. Don't get angry easily.
Stop using magazines/media as your bible. Don't talk about how hott Morris Chesnutt, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us. It's boring, and we don't care. You have girlfriends for that.
Whatever happened to the word 'handsome'/'beautiful'. I'd be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with 'Hey handsome!' instead of 'Hey baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy' or whatever else you can think of. On the other hand im not sayin i wouldn't like it either.

Girls: I cannot stress this enough: IF YOU AREN'T BEING TREATED RIGHT BY A GUY, DON'T WAIT FOR HIM TO CHANGE.> DITCH HIS SORRY DISGRACE-TO-THE-MALE-POPULATION ASS, AND FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL TREAT YOU WITH UTTER RESPECT Someone who will honor your morals. Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest. Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes. Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel. Someone who will stop what theyre doing just to look you in the eyes....and say 'i love you' ..........AND ACTUALLY MEAN IT! *****Give the nice guys a chance***** >
Holdin Hands- > Girls : If you want to hold his hand, gently bump into it a couple of times.
> Guys : Grab it if it happens more than once. >
Cuddling- > Girls : When you want to cuddle with him, tell him you're cold.
> Guys : Automatically move closer to her. >
Movies-> Girls : During a movie, if he puts his arm around you, tilt your head on his shoulder
> Guys : Lift her chin up and kiss her. >
Loving each other- > Guys : When she tells you she loves you, look deep into her eyes, give her a peck on the lips, and tell her you love her too... And mean it. >
Laying below the stars- > Girls : When you're both laying under the stars, put your head on his chest and close your eyes as you listen to his steady heart beat
> Guys : Whisper in her ear and link your hands with hers. Now make a wish about something you would like to happen Between you and your crush....

I feel Drained

2008-07-10T17:56:00.003+08:00

Its just two weeks after school reopened and everything has started to pile up. EconsILP, Chemistry ILP, PW, fac comm meetings, band practices to get ready for UK exchange programme, studies, piano exam...so on and so forth. I am kinda feeling stressed right now, and with my results, i really cant tell if i am able to pick myself up in time to face promos. I am sure many people are thinking about promos right now. My seniors told me before promos are hundred times harder than block tests, and much more demanding considered that now our cca committment is at its peak and PW is moving so fast. EOM is due tml, and written report by this term. I am not sure if I can make it, but I will try. This is jc, not secondary school anymore.
I want some encouragement, but it seems everything is opposite, I do feel discouraged sometimes, and I feel i lag behind some people, and i always try to make myself useful in fac comm, and I always want to make a difference in band. Honestly, it is not easy to be in band playing with people with years of experience compared to myself with only a few months of exposure. I am not even sure if I can handle SYF next year. It is my first time into performing arts, and it still doesnt feel right.
I need some balance, and I am still searching for it. After the scholarships exhibition, I finally got the will and drive to strive to do my best and every aspect of my jc life, and of course not forgetting studies. I was so entralled by the URA scholarship and GIC scholarship, it just blew me away. I love architecture, econs and urban planning, which totally suits me into getting URA scholarship. I want to get it, or whatever scholarship, but I am not sure if i have the capability. Again, I will try. Now its time to face the challenges. I have gone through many, and this shall be the most fulfilling.

Last few days I saw my good fren emoing. I dont think he is emoing over his results. Rather he is emoing over friendship and love. It seems he cannot face the prospect of being rejected or neglected. I must really say that in times like this, you must face the fact and continue to strive harder for excellence, and not emoing over the past. We must learn to be able to think what is best for us at this time. Studies or relationships? Not many people can handle relatonships at such young age. Some can, and even use relationships as drive to work hard and study to do better than their partner. :P But others just cannot juggle relationships with studies. So instead of emoing over the thought of being loser or neglected, why not make yourself stand out and do your best?? Life is short. You have already achieved the role of being in the band committee, QM leh!! and thats really encouraging isnt it? So just concentrate in your studies, and forget about love. Its time we really must think about how do we cross the hurdle. I dont want to see your morale drop so low to the extent that you start to do real funny things. Just be your usual self, and hey, things will be back to normal. OKay?? :) Just jiayo, 6a is behind you!

And hey, time to check out the new athena website at http://www.athena-faculty.blogspot.com/!!! Check out for more details of our post bloc event! Good luck for all the last miute rush for projects! :):):)

MY very own video for my 6a classmates. Kudos to jon tay!!!!!

2008-07-06T16:18:00.003+08:00

Fencing picture!

Gosh William seriously does not know how to take pictures properly...sians. When I wear this suit of course must take portrait photo la why take landscape photo. Sians. William arh....

Anyway, its time to feel stressed again. Just a few day ago, we had our first cca activity after the June holidays...And guess what, our juniors have joined us. ): Unbelievable. The hc sec 4 IP boys have joined us. Ny girls not yet. Why so meng?? Sians. I feel damn stressed leh. They can play so well and younger than me some more. Erms...even my seniors said both of the juniors in my trumpet section are cute. Gosh I am jealous. I dun hear her saying i am cute before. ARGHARHH....HAHAHHA joking. Cute is a bit too cute to use on boys...thats my point of view. Too bad...(:(:

Anyway, I am going to become very poor very soon. I need to cough up $50 to spend on seniors farewell party!!!!! WHY??? Thats so freaking expensive la!!! But anyway, that means that next year our juniors are also going to spend lavishly on us. Yippee...three cheers for band!

IN conclusion, I dont know what am i trying to say in this whole paragraph. No thesis statement at all. GP confirm die.

OKay. I missed the last fac comm meeting. At least i read the proposal. WTH??? They are going to take this chance to dunk fac comm members into the pool?? Thats ridiculous. WHo came out with this plan???? I gonna beat him into pup. Grrr.. I am not going to participate in this event. NO they can never dunk me. Nenenipoopoo.

EH 6A dun ever attend this event kay. I dun wan to be dunked. Boohoo.

Okay all i have said above was meant to be a joke. I dun mind being dunked as long as i dun get wet. Er...no link there.

NO choice la. Fac comm ppl are equal to saikang warriors. What to do?? First event. Must make it a successful one. Gosh ts going to be a busy month for me. WHat a great idea to come back to school after june holidays. I shouldnt have.

Last but not least, lets wish me all the best for my piano exam which is coming sooooooonnnn.......urgh..i suck at side-reading. HELP!!!

And....no more. I jus want a new bag. MY bag now is rotting badly...

Okay. MY dream is to produce a new product that is something like an electronic diary. It is not like posting your stories online but hey its posting your entries into a book. SAY NO MORE. Big mouth. But i know it is not going to work out. I am sure many people thought of it before. It is much better isnt it? Then it will be for private viewing only. It will be heaven.

Yap. Meeting 4a frens tml at sentosa. I sure missed everyong badly. Except. Nvm. It doesnt matter.

TATAAAA.

RV 4A 2007 Video

2008-07-03T23:36:00.003+08:00

Gosh finally someone managed to produce a 4A'07 video..Looking at these pics just made me feel so sad that time has past by so quickly that i can hardly figure out when was the last time i sat beside yile. ): Its really fast. Taking pictures with my 4A frens just felt like it was yesterday...Well this album seems more like a clique album instead of a class album. And worst kk go add his own hc pics inside. Spoil everything. Tsk tsk...Nvm la. Got video good alr. Haha wanna see my classmates from RV? Check it out by viewing this video. Its really nice. It brings back all my wonderful memories in RV. Yeah.!! Shall post my fencing pics tml! (:
P.S I did quite "okay" for chem. Maths was horrible.

Block Test

2008-06-30T23:30:00.002+08:00

Time really flies. My exams are over...Who says its a breeze I am gonna give a big smack on the head. Really. Econs was so-so, although I feel enlightened after reading my aunt's econs essays when she was a student. (: GP. Forget it. Those who crave for an A, even a B, are goners themsleves. ): I dont even know if I can get a C. Physics. Just let me lash my anger here.
You guys want to set something so difficult or so-called " high-level" thinking questions, then please provide us with the suitable and compatible guardians and angels to guide us towards the path of enlightenment. Physics paper was so tough, not only tough, but also lack of time to finish. I didnt finish a 8 mark question, and my last question was just a rushing-like-a-train kind of thing. Urgh. Really no hope. And I dont get a proper teacher to teach us in tutorials. How to do well????
Maths. I am seriously disappointed in my maths this round. I thought the questions were relatively easy and manageable. It would have been an A for me if I wasnt so tensed up. I couldnt do the second and third question, and my whole morale fell. I was like groping in the dark for the next few questions. I returned to do the second and third question after that. Lucky I managed to see light. But it was too late to save the rest which were done rather sloppily. Sianz.
Chemistry. (:(: I think i am starting to gain a liking for chem. I didnt fail this round. Nice tip-off from a valuable and reliable source. Paper 1 was a killer. So I guessed paper 2 helped me a bit. Well, its a good start ( or is it not? ). I hope my promos will be better. Bashia!!! Kambate!!

Anyway. Its over. Time to relax for a few days before the start of the new term....First half of the year gone. Its time forthe next half. Hehe. Its real fast in college. RV was really chicken feet.
serious.
Went swimming with hy and sy last sunday. I just realised I didnt get much sun-tan. WHy??? Cos its a 12pm sun and not 3pm sun. Urgh. What to do? By 3pm the sun is blocked by the blocks of flats...I wont get any tanning. So 12pm is the best time.
Hey hey!!! Tml is sabbaticals!!! I love hc la. Give me so much chance to do stuff that I may not be able to do if i were in other jcs. I will be doing fencing with william. Haha. Fun sia. Cant wait!!
Anyway, thats about it. My life is full of miseries. But this bucket full of bitterness lies many unseen diamonds yet to be discovered. Yes these diamonds will be my....ahh...the wonderful memories...happiness...friendships...love...and wth. I think i am tired. Too tired. Starting to talk crap liao. Go to sleep.
NITEZ!

My June Holidays

2008-06-16T21:31:00.013+08:00

Okay,I know it is kinda late but I am going to post picture of the band concert I attended. Yup its funny because i am a band member but why am i not performing? Thats because I am not so pro yet...hehe. Now I am listening to the recording of the whole concert from junjie's blog. I realised there are lots of stray sounds, but overall its very good. Well done band!!! I am so proud of you.

Next pictures taken with judy, junjie and william. So sad tian2 cant perform, if not there will be more people. (:

Victoria Concert Hall

Holiday@Orchard

Haha it may seems funny, but yep, I stayed at Marriot Hotel at Orchard Road with my family to celebrate Father's Day with my dad. The hotel rooms are not really as nice as Swissotel at Raffles City, but its not that bad either. The toilet is really cool. You get what i mean. Marble tops and marble flooring. Hehe. We went shopping at Orchard on 15th june which is saturday..then at night, we went to Equinox at RafflesCity Swissotel, hmm which is the restaurant at the top of the hotel. It has superb views of the city at night. Gosh...i really love looking out of the window to look at the scenery. Singapore looks great in the day,but not at night.

Anyway, the food is oh-my-goodness damn nice. It is so artistic...the chef must be damn pro. Even the soup of the day is like so nice to drink...but guess what? RV pupils will know. I saw Mr Desmon Lim and his girlfriends or wife-to-be at Equinox!!!! So who says he is married with three children. Rubbish. lol.

At night in the hotel room, we ordered spagetti, chicken noodles and satay. Wow. Heaven sia. Watched Mr Bean holidays for HBO..he is seriously very funny. Haha.
The next day, I started worrying being not able to make it for section outing. If we check out at 3+ I have to rush down to ECP and at 6 I have to leave to have dinner with my family an relatives at Boon Lay Raja. ECP is too far...so i had to make a sad decision not to go. I am really sry guys, I will make up this outing with any outing after exams soon okay?? Really sorry...

Anyway, after that I went swimming with my sister at the hotel's pool. Hehe not as nice as my house's pool but heck, we paid for it, so hola, we jumped into the pool. We checked out at 330 and went back home to prepare to go out for dinner again.

So thats my holiday. It sounded sian, but it is really a respite from the "hectic" life at home studying....need some rest... now must start mugging again. I think i have not studied enough...so now must wake up.

Anyway, pictures!!

Singapore skyline seen from top of Swissotel!

Singapore city!

Sashimi!!

Eh shucks i forgo the name. Mussles? Clams? Oyster? Urgh who cares..

Happy Father's Day!

Okay its time to do some work before going to bed! (: Listening to kpop songs from laptop. Saranghaeyo!!

Housewarming

2008-06-09T12:06:00.001+08:00

We had a housewarming yesterday at my house. It was really great to hav clique 13 gathering again. Although some couldnt make it some still made cards or bought stuff for me. Thnx a lot guys. Those really mean a lot to me. Anyway we had our buffet downstairs in the clubhouse and after watching cj7, we started our singing session. Seriously xz shike and jy can sing very well. Not bad le! Haha. After which we had some fun with the water but too bad no one fell into the pool. Then we went to the playground and played. It was a regret we forgot all about taking picture as a clique. Hmm nvm nx time ba! :)

Fac Comm Camp

2008-06-02T20:52:00.005+08:00

The fac comm camp was held at a random farm in Kulai Johore. It was quite an exciting trip for me. It is the first time I gone for trekking in a foreign land...anw...i went there partly to feed the mosquitoes. It is damn scary to see at least 5 mosquitoes flying in one cubicle. Imagine bathing in such conditions...

Hygene aside...it was a great camp for me. I made many more friends, and i got to know my fac comm members better. I also finally know some of my good and bad points...i also realise who in our fac comm hav funny character and who have nice personality. But as wht jon neo said, " everyone in fac comm is nice." Yes everyone is nice. Yipee!

Anyway, the second day was much more fun. We went for " amazing race"...and i think athena got the most number of points. Athena rocks. I was really glad that all of us did not bother about the point system. We didnt care if there was any prize or not. We just had this common goal to complete the task...and we did it. Thts why i am so proud of my team. I also want to thank Jiayun for being so caring during the trek. I nearly tripped once why walking downslope, jiayun was telling me to be careful...Also i would like to thank ziyuan for his really wonderful jokes. Really damn funny. Haha.

We built the yurt also using tree trunks and bamboo sticks...it was really fun. We learnt more about knots and lashing. So scouts and girl guides duh they ruled during the building of the yurt. Haha. Anyway, the second night was the bestttt.

The camp instructors set up fireworks lasting about 8 minutes. It was just right in front of us. First time. Damn cool. The sky was so starry. ANd guess what. I saw a shooing star!!! I swear! Yong Ji saw it too. Yup. I can proudly announce now tht i have seen a shooting star. Cool hur. O course I made a wish. Nope not telling anyone what it is. Haha.

Anyway, back to reality. I think i have made a right choice to come all the way to become a fac comm member. It is hard to continue this journey, but i believe i can work hard to achieve what i want. I am now the logistics IC for the post block event. NOt spilling the beans. You guys will know soon after the block test. Haha. Anyway...it is time to mug. Time to abandon this blog for a while. Jus like the good old olevel days. But i made it a reality for olevels by getting into hc. I thought i couldnt...with my kind of results i was producing during the first half of the year. Yeap. I can make it this time also. I don care if my chem or econs are getting Ds or S. Whats most important is i am trying my best. While i will try hard, you guys must study hard too okay? Jiayo 6a! Together we will make it to be the best class in hc!!!!!!

2008-05-26T18:01:00.002+08:00

I am going to miss my home, my swimming pool, my room door, my toilet, my soft toy, my handphone, and everyone. Kay stop it. I am going to come home 3 days later...its like..jus johor only? Not really far...in fact its jus an hour from woodlands? So its something like in Changi? Yeah. Anyway the farm is gonna be great! Got air-con somemore!! So i think it will be fine. I hope my new friends and fac comm members wont be so dao anymore and we can "have troubles face together"!! AHha. Direct translation from chinese.
Fac comm camp is the only thing in m mind now. I wont have any mood to study tonight. I seriously have phobia of camps. Since everyone knows about my past cca which is NCC, you guys know how "slack" my camp is. Its obvious torture and nightmare. I can still remember night of my sec three march camp. I was forced to guard te toilet at the back of the school beside a ghostly netball court. Mind you it was the commonwealth campus. The super ulu place...then we spent the whole night having changing parades and tortures after tortures...unforgetable experience...till today it still haunts me. LOL.
Haha still havent gotten the pictures of the art fest night...i loved performing with my sectionmates...first time get to perform in front of everyone. No more marching..no more showig off our disciplinary skills. Haha. Its performimg arts now...cool right? I get to experience UG and performing arts...So cool. Anyway, thanks to all my friends who came to support our classmates...so touched...hehe. Watched the performance of other ccas too. Louis was great!! Didnt manage to see sunshuo's performance though. Although I wont be performimg for band concert, but i will be handling ticketing...yeah yeah! So still can cheer my bandmates and BEST of all, see the show for free. HAHAHHA. 12 dollars can be kept in my pocket! Jon tay rocks!
Okay fine. I am crazy. But i am excited over the camp tml. I know its gonna be very fast...but the problem is...i cant mug..): So sad right....poor thing... cant do well for blocks liao. Hmm...haha. this is so retarded. Anyway...its time to pack my stuff. Three days later we shall meet again on this very blog. Ciao!!!!

Jon tay the PRO! I wont fall, judy! :P

Cnn News / New Video from China Earthquake /Warning Graphic

2008-05-20T22:33:00.001+08:00

This is the latest video of what was happening during the tremors. oh my god. This is so heart-wrenching.

China National Mourning for Quake Victims (on-site part 3)

2008-05-20T21:04:00.001+08:00

As China began its three-minutes of mourning yesterday, the whole country came to a standstill as everyone topped in their tracks to observe three-minutes of silence to mourn the victims of the Sichuan earthquak which has killed more than 30 000 people. Looking at the scene, i couldnt help but feel touched by the sincerity of the Chinese people, and how everyone stood together as one nation mourning the death of the victims. I couldnt help but wonder, in times of disaster in singapore, will singaporeans do the same too? The chinese people have showed their sympathy to their countrymen. Despite all the chaos that Chinese were facing before the earthquake, like torch relay and Tibetan riots, when it came to mourning, everyone were very united as one. It is so heartwarming to see everyone like this, and this is the spirit of the Chinese people, and this spirit will linger on forever, and i am sure those who perished would want to see their countrymen stand up and fight against such bad times.

Well?

2008-05-19T01:21:00.001+08:00

Hmm some interesting picture to post on blog. Tpy trying to clean mr wu great portrait. Woah a new mao pic lookalike! Haha.

Just for Laughs

2008-05-12T20:37:00.004+08:00

Have not blogged for a long time. Its been a horrible week for me. Yah. OMG. I still cant believe I managed to survive it.
Firstly, the econs lecture test wasnt a killer. It was suppose to be a joy for me. But hell no. I cocked up in the first place by saying that it is a perfect competition. What was I thinking at that time? Oh no. I am a loser. I think I failed this test. Why?? I wasnt supposed to fail econs....now both econs and chem are weak. How? I really need to gear up more, even though I am studying much harder than the previous years. Its the first times that I have not touched the computer for one week in a row.
But now, I am secretary for Athena Fac Committee, I must surely use the com more often now. Yah i think this is the only joy i can have for this whole week. I am glad to be in fac comm, but now i must work even harder to juggle between studies, band and fac comm. It is hard, but i will try.

Haha. Fac comm has like 3 jons. jon tay jon neo and jon quah. The whole hwa chong has hundreds of jons. jon tan jon lim jon yeo jon quek jon sim jon la jon low jon high jon ma jon key jon neh jon goh jon ba jon ha. haha.

Oh ya. Today I saw the new toilet at the ( left or right) wing, nearest to canteen. It looks so nice. CHeers. We have a wonderful new toilet. But i think its damn funny lur. Out of nowhere like nobody's business they just changed the whole toilet. And its only one. Haha. Or will they change the rest of the toilets. Lets give them an idea. Make the toilets look like those new toilets we see in shopping centres nowadays with those huge glossy pictures of stylish man and woman, ( really some old nice ah pek and ah soh wouldnt tell the difference and just go into the wrong toilets. Ekkkk!). Adding the auto tap, auto flush, high tech ( sweet smelling devices as the toilet smells "great" after half a day is gone only). Sai. Why am i dedicating toilet to half my post?? -_-

Yes Woonyang's right. GPP has become GGP. ( good game Project). Why not i come up with others???

Loss of the Roar of the Dragon

2008-05-01T10:33:00.005+08:00

China was awarded the right to host the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. It was a major step forward for the Chinese, and nobody can describe the pride shown by the Chinese all these years as they prepare for the world to visit them in 2008. All seemed to go on very smoothly until the Tibetan riots in March that tore apart the country's dignity. The events revealed China's lack of human rights and the dirt behind its squeaky-clean porcelain image it has always been trying to show the world. All can say that China is fighting a losing battle against the international criticism and condemnation.
However, the Chinese seem to have fought back, and a virulent nationalism sweeps the country as Chinese feel slighted-by foreign media, pro-Tibetan protesters, even France. Many Chinese are deeply angry about what they see as a global conspiracy to blacken their country's good name and ruin the Olympics. That makes a perilous moment for a country that hoped to display its best side to the world come August, and is now displaying something not so nice. All these criticisms have been reflected on CNN, BBC, international magazines. Have we ever thought, why now?
The human rights issue in China has been going on for many years and US and the world did not really bother about it at all. In fact, it still signed treaties with China even though they were fully aware that the lack of human rights was rampant in China. It was only this year when China entered the world stage that the US felt it was the right time to make their voices heard. A great opportunity indeed. US knows very well that China values its economic progress, political acceptance and prestige, and thus US takes the opportunity of Olympics where the world concentrates on China to tell the world what China truly is behind the glamour and modernity.
Meanwhile, the Olypic flame that travelled around the world over the past few weeks had been marred by protests and demonstrations. Polls have also indicated that China's international reputation has taken a beating recently. At this juncture, how will the Chinese welcome the world in August? And how will the world face China in Beijing during Olympics? The road ahead seems uncertain, and no one can be assured of a successful Olympics this year and it may be marred again by protests and hostility when Beijing host the Olympics. It seems, that the US have succeeded in its aim.

Farewell party for ms ong

2008-04-28T22:41:00.007+08:00

We had a wonderful farewell party for Ms ONg at Sentosa on Sunday. I should say it is the best class outing so far this year. 23 people turned up for te event! Maybe its because there isnt any tests today lur. LOL.

Anyway, thanks to clement and xinyi, we had great food to eat for our lunch. Oh ya, forgot about meiling! Meiling your brownies are super nice! Even though you werent there, your brownies made your presence felt! We had great fun poking clement about is food. Seriously, th food are nice pinyan! I am touched by your selflessness to prepare such a great meal for us. Xinyi you too!! I really dont know how to express my heartfelt gratitude to you three for making our day!

Other than food, we had some ball games and frisbeee. Then we had some dunking games. Shu Yang was the first victim, followed by linyi then woonie. Haha. Stripping game was next. XXX. Sh. Its 18+. Sensored!

It was a scorching day. Really hot!!! I had no choice but to succumb to the sun. It was a great chance for me to tan too. I did not really get a tan ever since i left NCC. LOL.

WE also rented bicycles and rode from siloso to tanjong and back to siloso again. It was a clear blue day. So the scenery was really nice.

Yep. The main content. It is a farewell greeting to MS ong, our wonderful GP cum PW cum CT teacher. She is one of the most cranky, fun-loving, outgoing, serious, extraordinary, interesting, fashionable teacher i have ever seen!! I, and all the students of 6A will miss this exciting teacher who never failed to brighten the class when we are emoers. Thank you Ms ong for your hard work all these months and working endlessly, mugging late into the night just to check on our PIs. We are really grateful to you and will never forget you! Goodbye Ms Ong and I wish you success for your future endeavours!!!!

Yep. Thats all. PIctures and some conclusion in chinese.

The Truth about Love

我看着你的背影，感到非常心痛。
我真想跑上前求你留下来，但我没这个胆量。

我知道在你眼里没有我，

我也知道你根本不理我的。

但我只希望你能够转过头，

对着我笑，

这样我就想心满意足了。

如果有一天，

你终于发现我的存在的时候，

也许已经太迟了。

那时候的我，

一定会对你冷淡。

这就是爱的痛苦。

我们的人生是不能脱离爱的辛苦，

爱的痛苦,

爱的悲伤。

2008-04-21T23:07:00.019+08:00

Hello everyone long time no blog liao. I have been really busy last week. I feel like sleeping whenever i come home, but always didnt get the chance to. Really sad. No time to catch a nap even in the afternoon now!! Miss those old days. SIgn.

I shall blog about moving house. I am just going to show the mess we created in our old house before we moved. Hehe. It is really a mess. I still dont believe the picture i took.
And a pic of my new house!!! Still not totally completed yet. Still got small stuffs like paintings and plants.:(

Okay. Now about the ride on Singapore Flyer last weekend. It was really cool. But not really as exciting as i thought. Maybe it would be much more worthwhile to spend that $29.90 per person when the IRs are up and running. Yayness!

Some pictures to be revealed!!

Ops I am lazy to turn it the other way round. Who cares??

Singapore at night!!! Breathtaking yeah?

Haha to all my 6a frens, yeap you have not seen a pic of my sis. Now heres one!!

A river of glittering lights.

My cousins and i! Yeah!

Okay thts all. Next is Athena Fac outing on last saturday which was held at the NTU Alumni building. The dinner was seriously not bad. I enjoyed the food. But most of all I loed the performances by our FAc Prince And Fac Princess-to be Xia Shuang and Silu. Hehe. Even though they were not crowned in the end, they are still our Fac Prince and Princess in 6a hearts. Ow touching right. Silu dont cry!!

I am so proud of my class. We showed true class spirit that day and we won the train competition where we had to tie everything that we had together to form one long train. Yes our class was the best. We tied all our shoes together. Pro right. Although it looked disgusting when we presented our "train", ( one pile of shoes beside Sherwyn O.o) we won no matter, and yeah! We got a great hamper which we finished almost every content inside, no counting those food that were literally abused by Donglu who felt it was fun to throw packets of tidbits at everyone she sees. I think she is celebrating her 5th birthday next week. Sing her a bday song guys. Anw this was a great outing. I have just realised that 6a guys are more bonded than 4a people, or i should say, we bond much faster than 4a people. 4a needed almost a year before we were truly bonded. Why??Dunno. 6a guys more exothermic or exogornic??

Haha. Pictures~!!

Silu in her ghost like expression.

Need i say more???

Yep its them again?? Instant fame...

Aaron and I!!!

华语COOL！

2008-04-18T22:54:00.002+08:00

好久好久没有用华语来表达自己的心情了。
这几天都非常累，让我感觉到初院的辛苦。一次又一次的悲伤与痛苦让我感到很疲惫。
我的Maths成绩考得不是很理想，但是我还是充满希望，真的希望下次能够考得更好的成绩。真的好羡慕班上的同学们。HAIIX。
我时常仰望天空，看那碧蓝的天。我猜世界上再没有什么配色比得上蓝天白云那样，那么惹人喜欢！但是天空也会掉眼泪。当天哭的时候，我总告诉她绝不能崩溃。当自己的泪水滑落的时候，心湖泛起了微微的涟其，正颗心随着天的心情轻轻的，在雨中飘浮。
在这种情况下，我们已定要振作起来，努力坚持下去，总有一天太阳会再升起来。那时候的我们一定会很快乐。
好了，别多说了，PI还没完成呢，明天再告诉大家我坐SingaporeFlyer的滋味！！

Combined sports meet

2008-04-14T16:39:00.001+08:00

Hey its csm for hc today. Its the final round for the whole sports meet. Our class are very enthu for today and right now i am watching the guys running. Jiayo everyone!

Bonds and Crap

2008-04-10T21:32:00.002+08:00

Today we had an interesting lesson during GP class. We were bonding with one another by looking at essays with lots of bonds in it. Some bonds were like weak bonds, human bonds, reduction of bonds and haha, increase bonds. How funny it is to read an essay with almost 5 words of "bond" in one paragraph. I think this guy who wrote the essay is a Mr Chemist.

Woah today played badminton with dong lu. She is so pro lar, so far she is the only few girls in the class who can take the shots from the guys. Not bad not bad, i thought she was one of the others..(hmm).
Anyway, its fun playing badminton, i think i am improving. I can smash now!! See I so pro...haha yile wont be too happy.

Okay. Lets start to say emo speeches. As ex-Ct rep, i shall talk about the class now. Seriously, i can tell that my class is not a class of muggers, but a class of concerned students who care about their studies and will not slack in their work no matter what. Yes...its nicer than say we are muggers. ( sY did finish further differentiation tutorial! :O) Bt sometimes we get to concerned of our studies until we emo easily when we do badly for our tests. But we must learn to be forgiving to ourselves and forget about the past and just move forward. Yes we learn from our mistakes, but lets not dwell on it. Its no use. Kay guys? We are a happy family of lots of 6a bonds, don make emoing our results weaken the bonds ya?

Talking about band, i today nearly thought of quitting when i heard that many newcomers hve quitted from band. However, when i listened to phantom piece on my hp on the way home with sy, i realised that i loved band pieces too much, and i believe that this love will spur me on to work harder and make it for dec concert. KamBATAE!

I realised jon tan and i are twins. And even he feels we are so similar la. Today let me list out some similarities between us.

1. Both of us have some malay blood in us. We can be called peranakans.
2. Both of us have a sibling with the name of joline. ( His sister's name is not spelled in this way though).
3. Both of us has same name. ( DUH)
4.Both of us take sunday as the day where we visit our grandparents, and further more, its our maternal grandparents. Argh!
5. Both of us are in HC.
6. Both of us are in same class.
7. Both of us has same height. ( 175cm. I strongly believe my height is 175 not 174).
8. Both of our weight is only about 1-2 kg difference.
Hahahahaha. See so similar.
Okay thts all for today. Seriously hoping i can be in the top 10 most beautiful people in class. (:
HAHA. Fine. i shall not care if i am in. Dont think too much jonny.

Fire?!

2008-04-09T22:09:00.001+08:00

An epidemic has gripped the entire sch as the sch is filled with deadly smoke ( to mosquitoes only). But ms incredible dong lu was seen rushing into the smoke to save the mosquitoes from harm. Hahahahaha.

2008-04-06T21:46:00.002+08:00

I am rather surprised that I have not blogged for like a week?? LOL. Thats always been impossible for me. It is always a norm that everyday I would touch the computer at least once. But not now. JC life is definitely more demanding than sec life, and really wish that I would be able to go back to my sec life. Band is stressing me out. My SL just smsed me today that nearly freaked me out. She wanted to test my everything on trumpet, scales, tone, articulation and blah blah. She gave one whole list of things that she will be testing me tml. That made me so fed up that I smsed her to tell her that I want to "volunteeringly" step out of the june band concert. It was just that moment that I felt that too much things are coming onto me, and that made me feel sick and irritated. Firstly the badminton rec exco smsed me to tell me that I have not submitted the forms for Smash 08, then later my cca is also demanding me to do this and tht. Of all things, I have decided to give up my june concert, so that I have ample time to practise and improve my trumpet skills, and at the mean time, let me have some fresh air to breathe. I am also taking my piano exam soon, and I have yet to learn my arpegios and cromatic scales well enough, and plus my C piece is not ready. ARGHHHH.....
And tests are a norm in hc...so I seriously cant have a week without any tests.
And some people are still treating me like as if I owe them a living. This is outrageous. Anyway, we are in different world now, so no matter how you treat me, i don really care.
And sometimes rejecting someone cant be hard, but misunderstandings do happen from here, and I am really sick of all this. I just want a good life in a good place in a good world, and I dont want to be dubbed as some kind of paranoid guy, but as the saying goes, eat your shit, drink your shit. I am talking crap now, cos I cant think of anything else to say.
But no matter what, band is my cca now, and I lurve my band mates a lot, so i will persevere until i can play a wonderful piece of music. It is just a pity I cant play Phantom of the Opera anymore. Maybe I should join th military band when I go army. Their uniforms are sssssssuperrr cool!!!
OKay thats about all. This week has been very sian. Nothing much, just tests, badminton, tests, eat in canteen, talking to friends, crapping with jon tan, daoing people, flirting with lin yi, niaoing shuyang and hahahhahaha...april fooled louis, silu, and shuyang. HAHAHAHA. I shouldnt laugh, cos I was tricked too. Hehe. Paiseh.
Anyway, its a stressful life, but my friends will defnitely dilute this stress. Yeah.
THREE chEERS for CHEMICAL BONDING with my frens!!! Be it hydrogen bondig, pi bond sigma bond, i only like 6a bonds!!!!!!!! (:

2008-03-29T11:33:00.002+08:00

Yesterday we had another CIP to do, which was ushering the parents during the Parents' Day. It was quite fun actually because we got to wear ties, which I knew we would! See I told u all have six sense.

Anyway, we started our duties and Jon Tan and I were in charge of the auditorium where we had to usher the guests into the auditorium. Jontan's job was much easier because he just had to direct them to the door. Mine was worse. I had to direct them to the seats in the audi and greet them and give out programme sheets. gosh I was super tired at the end of the whole "ordeal" and I was so thirsty.

Then we had rest till the sessions were over, and Shuyang and I took our positions at the hall to do our duty, which was to answer the parents who do not know their children's class. Haha. We stood in the hall for almost 20 min to wait for the whole talk to finish. Meanwhile, I listened to the questions asked by the parents. And guess what I know sy little secret!! hehe...I dont have that great dreams as him though. Hmm..i dont know. Finally the parents were able to leave after the last questions asked by a very very noob mother who was trying to show off her mathematics skills by calculating the percentage of those with As for Alevels last year. SIAN.

So we ended the day like this at 8+ and we didnt eat with the class in the end. WE WERE SO TIRED...

But it is uber fun day. I really like enjoying time with me class. Yippeee!

Some random photos coped from class blog.

CIP day

2008-03-27T21:18:00.007+08:00

Haha first lets start the ball rolling by showing everyone the video clip made by Xinyi judy hanzhe and i fr our ILP project. Hahaha..

Okay anyway, I realised I didnt blog about the CIP day where all of us went to Ju Eng home fr CIP. Its fun! But I emoed there. Many of my frens emoed there too. Sad to look at those poor old people. Haix.

Anyway, here are some photos taken by Pinyan while we were performing for the old people there.

Haha the Green Class and three cheers for 6A!! Lalalala...not everyone is here though. Okay let m see...Donglu looks funny in the pic. Linyi is being spastic and oh no william also looks distorted in the photo. ):

Linyi is trying to smell his armpit. Is it so sweet-smelling? Maybe the rest of them should try it too.

All of us singing our asses out. We sang the If We hold on together. I cocked up because when i continued singing the chorus the class stopped singing. Damn gan ga la. WTH. Den shuyang kept laughing at me. Suck.

Thats woony with the guitar. Yeah i didnt play in the end. How irresponsible of me. ):

The day of holiday

2008-03-26T21:02:00.003+08:00

Today is a nice day. The sun shines brightly in the sky. The birds are blooming, and the flowers are singing. Okay right, the flowers are dancing and the birds are rapping. O.o

I told huyuan to come my house and swim. And he did! Came at three and we started swimming. Its the first time swimming at my new house, so everything's new to me. I specially liked the partof the pool where the bubbles just rose from the bottom of the pool, just like some tornado seen from the bottom. And the jacuzzi was fun too, huyuan kept slipping off because the bubbles were so strong. kekeke....
Then we started finding stones and throw across the water to see if they can bounce. Mine did. Huyuan' didnt. But after some tries he improved and i deproved. WTH. When we started finding those stuff very sian we swam to those fountain areas of the pool where the water comes splashing down. Some of the waterfalls hurt when you put your head beneath....ouch!!! Anyway, it was quite fun la. Not many people there also. Nx time I will get more people to come to my place to swim...yeah!! Then the thunder came and huyuan was like shit...haha. So we called it a day. I dont know if he got caught in the rain or not, shall ask him tml. Haha.

Sian arh. So tired. Relly wanted to go iceskating with my band mates badly, but i was super tired yesterday. I slept all the way to 11 plus today. I really feel paiseh for missing all the fun with my band mates. This fri will be skipping cca again cos I have ushering duties for parents day. Hmm...cant go out for dinner with them again. So sorry guys. Nx week ba.... Dont be angry with me kay...):

Thats all. Time to mug again. This weekend I will be going for home deco spree!! Buying carpets, rugs, flowers and potted plants to decorate the house. hehe...i think som nice paintings will be great too!!! (:

CHEEEEERS. ( cliche. tsk.)

2008-03-22T23:24:00.002+08:00

Haha I hav finally moved into my new house. Lotsa things to do and I really dont have the time to do my homework, let alone revising for my physics tests. How?? I want Mr Wu to help me! Anyway, I am tempted to go swimming tml, but its been raining these few days, so hmm maybe I shall play badminton with my sis instead. Haha.

Okay.
I really cant say how or why this is happening, but I still think that in order for the world to live harmoniously, we must remove the 2nd world ( internet), or we will be in deep trouble soon. I am emoing now, so dont come and talk to me. My classmates are good emoers, so am i. When they emo, I will emo with them.
SOBZ.

Anyway, Good Friday was a great day to move house. It didnt rain, thank god. But I truly miss my old home. It has all the good and bad memories. It is also a place where I crossed two great hurdle of my life, PSLE and Olevels. Okay fine the PSLE hurdle is not a hurdle at all. BUt anyway, it is still important as it determine your next important part of your life. If I had done better I would hav been in HC. but who cares, I am in hc now. LOL. So I shall enjoy my life there as much as i can. SO back to home. Yup. I spent the WHOLE friday unpacking my 8 boxes of barang barang ( malay for stuff) in my room and i spent the whole day today cleaning and mopping the house with my family. AND I still have an unfinishe task. Takingout all the CDs and DVDs and VCDs and put them inthe living room cupboard. Sign...I still haven practise my piano exam pieces yet. URGH.

But yippee. New environment. So happy and so glad.

HCBAND <3 jonathan!!!!

Goodbye Snowball

SNOWBALL

Hamster

Age- 2.3 years old

Left us on 17th March 2008

REST IN PEACE

My hamster passed away today, at a time when all of us are preparing to move house. Its death is not a sudden news to us. Snowball was battling with a disease where the fungus grows on its body. It suffered a lot when we had to bathe it. It was struggling in pain. It reall made me so down these few days. Today, Snowball just had enough, and it was time for him to go. It always brought a smile to my face after a hard long day in school. Whenever i go near it, it comes out of its house eagerly to look for food from me. Now I still have not gotten over with its death yet. I need some time to resolve to the fact that my best mate has left us. Goodbye Snowball.

Cold snap in S'pore
By Sumathi V Selvaretnam and Tania Tan
Average temperatures so far this month have dipped to 25.6 deg C - the lowest in 74 years.

TALK about a chill in the air.
Thermostats here are being turned up as Singaporeans throw on sweaters and jackets to beat the 'coldest' March in 74 years: The average temperature so far this month is 25.6 deg C, a tick higher than the 25 deg C in 1934.
Singapore dipped to its coldest of 19.4 deg C on Jan 30, 1934.
On Thursday night, the mercury dipped to 20.8 deg C - about the average day-time temperature in wintry Hong Kong.
The 'cold snap' has resulted in some things one does not typically see - or hear - in Singapore. Children bundled up like Eskimos and office workers coming to work in woollies.
But Solutions architect Sivaram Shunmugam, 29, likes it cool.
'Normally it is hot, humid and uncomfortable. Not now. Finally, a temperature I can live with!' he said.
Neither is Colin Wan, 34, complaining.
'It's like a regular English day. I get to wear winter clothes like my jumpers and cardigans that I thought I would never need in Singapore,' said the advertising executive from Britain who has been living here for five years.

The cool spell stems from the prolonged heavy rain and dense cloud, said Associate Professor Matthias Roth of the National University of Singapore's Department of Geography.
'It's more difficult for sunlight to penetrate the thick cloud cover - so the ground cools after a few days,' he explained.
The freakishly wet weather is due to a strong La Nina effect, explained Dr Roth. Caused by a cycle of cooling air over the Pacific Ocean, the weather phenomenon usually results in cooler, wetter weather.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) says next week will continue to be wet, with moist winds blowing in from the ocean.

Credits-The Straits Times

P.S I love such news. Somehow I have this feeling the temperatures will dip even lower sometime soon. I have read comments from members of the public and hey hey, evryone agrees its global cooling and not warming! Hear hear!

When the sun is supposed to rise

2008-03-14T13:32:00.002+08:00

When I thought the sun was supposed to rise, it didnt in the end. When I thought all was going to come to an end, it didnt. When I thought everything was going on fine, it jus went berserk. When I thought that this would not happen, it happened.
the number of whens and didnts jus continued to flow in my mind as I recollected the past over the last few days. Some things went my way, some things didnt. Some people made me burst with excitement, some made me fade away. The cold winds blowing through my room window added fuel to the fire. It was so cold the day before. The temperatures were almost the same as those I experienced when I was in Taiwan during winter last year. Walking along the paths below my house was quite a torture. The winds were chilling, and the rainwater on the ground glittered under the lights.
But to my pleasant surprise, I woke up today and the sun was high up in the sky, leaving little trail of the weeks of continuous thunderstorms and rain that poured in the country. I went to my laptop and checked the temperature for the past few days. Average low temperature was 23c. And the temperature dropped to 20.9C last night. That was the temperature of Hong Kong back in winter of 2002! Unusual weather accompanied my unusual feelings these few days. I was very confused, just like the weather. I was happy at times, and sad at times. When I solved on challenging problems for kinematics, I jumped 300m high, but my mood dropped low again a few minutes later. Who can help cure my illness? I need help. I feel I cant breathe in this new environment. It is too suffocating. Too poisonous to live.
Woola. The clouds are coming. It is going to rain again.

2008-03-10T22:10:00.004+08:00

Congratulations to myself for getting another round of cough. It is the fifth time for this year, and I seriously dont know whats got into me. Sian.

Now I am really busy with my new house. I am packing my stuff like there's no tomorrow. I have already filled five boxes of stuff, and I think I still need another two. I will be moving house on Good Friday, a day good enough to move. Just went to my new house just now, felt really happy that finally I am getting a HDTV. Muahaha...and my new piano is coming in soon too. Cant wait!! Now I am eally having a headache over where I should put my fishes. Hm...we were actually thinking about putting them at the yard. So sad...they cant enjoy the luxury of looking at the living room or watching our tv anymore. I am still pissed that my toilet is not made of marble. The master bedroom's toilet is made of marble la...so unfair. My new room is also smaller than my current one. Dang the new houses where everything is getting more cramped. Lucky the living room is still big.

Okay I am fantasizing. Aaron is lucky to be able to move into a terrace house. If I ever have the money, I still wouldnt want to stay in a terrace house. I like urbanisation see, so I love to stay amidst all the chaos in the city. Staying at Orchard would be cool. Stop dreaming, jonny.

Just finished my maths homework, now slacking, thinking of my new bedroom and mas selamat.

I havent finished talking about him yet, because it also seems like the newspaper is not sick about constantly reporting about the missing star. He was spotted yesterday wearing a malay costume...so nice...

............................................................................................................................................

And lastly a picture of cny celebrations at Mrs lee's house with my 4a frens. Haha we are in heaven!

Huangchengyeyun2008 was great! The plots for the first two shows were lousy. But the last plot was not bad. But everything looks very gossipy and ya, I think RVCLDDS can do as well. But overall it made me laugh and emo, so not bad lur. Can pass. Xizi acted quite well in the second show. The rest were not bad too. Hanzhe looked great in the princess clothing. Really like Huanzhugege!! HAHAHA...no photos. I lost everyone after the show. It was so cramped outside the victoria theatre. I looked for my 6a classmates...they were not ready for a photo, so I went to find my 4a frens. Couldnt find them at all..-_- So i walked on and found some going towards raffles mrt station, so i decided to follow them home. We walked along singapore river. The fullerton hotel was very grand. Looked real cool. How I wish I can stay there for at least one night. I heard that the bathtub is made of marble and is big enough for you to swim in it. O.0

Okay thats all for today. I have to make a trip down to my new house again to clean up my bedroom tml. Argh. Sian.
