Yesterday's Feelings - The Used

People, I've decided. Listening to the song stated above, I've decided to move on, and start anew. Unknown to many, I've been through quite a heart-wrenching few weeks, and it's been hurting really bad. I didn't want to burden my friends, so I kept silent.

But enough's enough. Moving on, would be good. This time round, I would like to lead a more private life, away from prying eyes. I'll be moving to my LJ account for good, which has been a private blog of mine for some time already.

THANK YOU to those who've been regularly coming here, reading and leaving a tag behind. You're much loved and appreciated. You could try asking me for my LJ account in msn, and I'll think about letting you read it.

I think that's about it. A closure to this blog of mine, spanning from May 2004 till today, July 2007. Goodbye people, and this time, its for good. (:

Temporary - Amber Pacific

BUSY BUSY BUMBLEBEE. That's basically how I'm feeeling at the moment. Gah.

Sometimes, I just feeel so lazy to update this blog of mine, and also because I think, it's getting pretty boring.

Anyway, the past week's been good, and I'm glad for that.

Important fact - TRANSFORMERS ROCKS! Those of you out there whom have'nt watched it yet, I say, go catch it asap. It's worth every single cent you fork out. heh. To me, I think it's been the movie of the year so far, it definitely beats previous "must-see" movies, like Fantastic 4, Spiderman, etc. GO CATCH IT K.

And so, it's back to work this week, and it's good to know I'm earning money, a sense of self-satisfaction, really.

Hmm. I think, I'm done with waiting. Perhaps, it's not possible. I'm done.

Ok that was random. So, I'll be back sooon. (:

Can't Stand - Under The Influence Of Giants

WHAOWHAOWHAO. I've not updated for ages. Man, I feel bad. To think I was telling myself I'll update my blog at least once a week. tsk tsk.

Well, it's been a pretty stressful week, I've been feeling low more than high throughout the weeek. Sigh. There's the lousy test scores, the messed up meetings, the disappointment suffered in training and the friendly, blah blah blah.

It's been quite a lousy week for me.

Still, I thank God for my friends, because they sure helped in cheering me up whenever I'm down. (: I promise the good ol' smiling guy will be back. heh.

Well! Soo beisdes the lousy stuff that happened during the week, there were some good things that came out of it still. For starters, I passed my EM3B, which is my Amaths paper, much to my lecturer's surprise. ha. And then there's the really great catching up session with Kenneth and Eoin on Wednesday. These two guys can sure as hell make you forget your troubles. (:

Oh, and I almost forgot, hanging out with Adam, Putri and Gilbert on Fri was zomg good. Adam and Gilbert left early though, to go clubbing, which left me and Putri to do some late night shopping. Well, me and Putri wouldnt really agree with the phrase though, cause the shops were almost all closed, by around 10pm. -.- Still, Putri got herself a pair of really nice shoes, and I got my bag! Without buying it at Topman, which could have cost me a hole in my wallet.

So, despite the pretty lousy week, there were still some positives out of it after all. I got myself a good break from work too, and it'll be back to work this coming week.

Basically that's what I can recall from my memory of the past week, so I'll be praying hard that I'll update soon. heh.

BYE PEOPLE. (:

It Ends Tonight - All-American Rejects

Ooops. Seems like I've forgotten about this blog of mine. It's not like I don't want to update it, rather, it's a combination of work/horrible internet connection. OK. Those were excuses. HA.

Anyway, it's already the second week of the term break, it's passing by pretty fast, and I've definitely been busy. heh. Work/Fencing, catching up with people I've not seen for a long time, etc. LIFE'S GOOD. (:

Catching up with Kenneth and Darius was great, since now we're in different polys and clashing schedules. /: Thank god for the hols, cause we were finally able to catch up with each other. heh. I still have some more people to catch up with!

Soo, I've been working for about a month already, and work's been pretty good, with the fun colleagues and supervisor. Strangely though, the area around my workplace? It's becoming like a second NP. I've seen Wanchee, Beatrice working there, not to mention Yvonne and her boyfriend at my place, and Libin as well. Oh and there's this 1st year student at my workplace too. Whoa. Singapore can't be any smaller.

And soo, it's been a fulfilling term break for myself so far. heh. (:

P.S. Adam, Gilbert, Putri - WE NEEED TO HANG OUT.

Cheers.

Let It Roll - Secondhand Serenade

HELLOOO PEOPLE. (:

I'm back! The much dreaded commontest week is well and truly over. Ahhh. I bet you can almost feel my relief. heh.

Anyway, what's been happening so far? Well, the hols have begun, and soooo. It basically means - WORK, Fencing, Catching up/Hanging out, etc. Although it's only two weeks, which I believe will pass by really quickly, I'm still very much glad that it's here. I badly need a break from studying.

And so! The hols' been pretty fine so far. Work has been really good, minus the busy periods when my legs literally feel close to crumbling, the nice colleagues and supervisor helped to soothe the negatives. (:

Now that it's the hols, I've to work more, so to pay off that ridiculous amount of school fees. Urgh. Just ask Putri.

Dinner date with Cheryl was soooo good! ha. It's been really really reallly long since I saw her. So anyway, I owe her a dinner treat, and I'm proud to say, I've repaid it! heh. And we sure had fun at our secret spot! (:

Soooo. That's been the story of my hols so far. Hopefully there'll be more to come.
GOODBYE!

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JUNE BABIES! GILBERT, YANI, JAIME! (:

Cheers.

Better Than Me - Hinder

ZOMG. And it's another week that has gone by. Believe me when I say, it's moving TOO fast.

In less than two weeks' time, I would be going through yet about week of Commontest. Grr. My entire life's so crazily packed, I hardly have any time to look back on the past week and reflect. So, I guess I'll just blog on things that I remember. heh.

The past week saw myself working 3 days, and well, I'm having fun so far. (: The hilarious colleagues, the HOT customers, a great supervisor, and of course, MONEY! Seriously, what more can you ask for? I hope this continues. heh. (:

Oh, and going to the Singapore Arts Festival preview with Adam, Putri & JunWei was dope! The performance wasn't too bad, and the surprise fireworks sure made it beautiful. (: And the "aftershow" of our very own, torturing Putri in every way possible. *grins. I couldn't have asked for more with these friends of mine. (:

A friend told me, "I'm surprised you're not attached.".
I can only say, I don't want to. It'll be so unfair to the opposite party, because right now, I think I'm much more busy than a bee. School, Fencing, Work, Friends now take up every part of my life. It's almost impossible to make any time for another committment. I might look at couples with envy, but I'm still very much happy with my life now. It's good. (:

Well, so much for that emo moment. heh.

Goodbye people. (:

Time Of Your Life - Green Day

HELLOOOO people.

I apologise for the lack of updates, but I must first of all state, I tried to update for the past few nights, to no avail, because blogger decided to be an asshole. Why? Because it did'nt let me start a new post. GRRR.

Anyway, I'm not going to elaborate much, since whatever happened last week has been quite a blur. (I'm beginning to suspect I'm suffering from STM - Short Term Memory.) ZOMG.

Catching Spiderman3, a good dinner with Adam, Hopnite, were probably what remains in my mind from what happened last week.

Oh, and if you're wondering if you should watch Spiderman3, YOU HAVE GOTTA CATCH IT. It's worth your money, every single cent of it. (: I'm just a little annoyed at the short amount of screentime Venom got. Sandman did'nt deserve his screentime.

Hopnite, was, well. Interesting. I missed out the earlier parts, cause we were contemplating whether to spend money to get tickets. Rather, whether Gilbert, Adam & Putri wanted to get tickets. (I had one already. ) Still, overall, it was fun, camwhoring away, and just hanging out for supper. Cabbed home, and I've never felt more tired.

This week has begun pretty well so far, I got myself a job! Like after 219471498749 years. And the best part was, I went for the interview just yesterday, and they called me back almost immediately, asking me to report for work on Wednesday. ((:

Oh and before I end off, I want to thank Adam, Mat, Angeline & Putri for cheering me up when I was down. ((: PS. Mat, I've updated! HAHA.

Ok, goodbye people.

Cheers.

Don't Look Down - Fall Out Boy

GAHH. Another week has gone by. It's times like this, I wonder how fast year 2's gonna pass by. Ah wells.

The highlights of the week,

Includes Tuesday's outing with P4, Wed's dinner, and Thursday's training with freshmen.

Tuesday's outing, was, pretty enjoyable, although not everyone turned up. Finally I got to see some missing faces, while the regular ones went missing this time. At the very least, we had fun. (: Let's make the next outing, with everyone present.

HEROES. Zomg. I cannot thank ADAM enough for sending me the series on Wed. I've been pretty hooked ever since. And by the way, after Wed's dinner with Putri, Adam & Gilbert, I can declare that the stalls at Youth Park, sells really nice black pepper beef. (: Dinner was fun. Hehs.

And we move on to Thursday. FENCING! The very first training with freshmen, and I'm really surprised, with the pretty huge turnout. Whether the whole lot will stay on, really depends. But it was nice. There were some really enthusiastic ones, and hopefully, trainings' would be a lot more interesting, and lively. (:

Oh and before I forget, I just want to say, my Project Management lecturer rocks big time ballz. He's such a great movtivator. And he's really by far, the only lecturer in my 2 years, that can made a lecture interesting, and never boring. (:

I suddenly have the urge to say something random. I love cheering up the people around me, yet I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to cheering myself up. Random indeed. I love to see smiles. (:

Ok, random facts aside, year 2's definitely not going to be a breeze, and I'll probably need to work like many times harder than I did in year 1. /: Oh wells.

OH yah. Time for birthday wishes. MAY's a month of birthdays man.
HAPPY 18TH ROY! (2nd May.)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSHUA! (3rd May.)
HAPPY 18TH to EOIN & JASMINE! (4th May.)
Oh and since it's already past 12am,( 2:13am now.)
HAPPY 18TH KENNETH! (6th May.)

Barring Joshua, whom I've forgotten how old(oops), the rest are LEGALLY 18! GAHH. It'll be my turn soon. HAHA.

Alrights. Byeeee and goodnight people. (:

CHEERS.

Over You - Chris Daughtry

WOW. I'm back to the dreary weekly update basis. But I can't help it, I can't find any other free time to do it.

2nd week's over and done with, and its back to the usual breakneck speed. I swear poly life's going to pass me by so damn quickly. The typical boring lectures, napping during them, and getting lousy lecturers, I've seen it all. Interesting and really nice lecturers? I can count them with one hand. That's CEE for you.

After last week, everything's falling into place, and I really miss the carefree times spent at SU. They all say year two's the most stressful year, and I'm really beginning to believe it.

Thankfully, GOD created friends. They're the best stress-relievers. Hanging out with Putri, Adam and Gilbert really makes my day. (: It's a good way to get away from all that stress, to just bitch and laugh out loud.

Dinner on Friday was fantastic! We (comprising of Adam, Gilbert, Putri and myself) had our dinner date at Al Ameen. YUMMY. Sambal stingray and belachan kang-kong. Absolutely divine. Craving satisfied, more cravings-dinner-dates to come! (:

OH I nearly forgot, Monday's P4 outing was great too! Although not everyone was present, it was still a nice dinner get-together. More outings, alright? Or we could just hang out at "Lao Ti Fang". HAHA.

I'm gonna be turning 18 soon, so while I'm hearing friends around me turning 18, it's going to be my turn soon man. Happy birthday Alex! (:

I so need ka-ching for my ever growing list of "wants". The list's gonna turn into a endless one soon. Work, I will.

Alright, byeeee people.

Cheers.

Seventeen Ain't So Sweet - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

First week of 'school' has ended, and another begins!
Well, if you're wondering why I said 'school', it's basically because for the past week, I've been skipping classes in order to help out at the NPSU goodie bag distribution booth at the atrium.

So, officially, school was supposed to start for me last week, but it's gonna start from tomorrow onwards. Ironically, I've met my IS classmates, but not my usual classmates.

I'm so gonna miss helping out at the booth. ): The past week has provided me with so much fun and laughter, I'd hate to miss it. The mad rush to get enough people to sign up for HOPNITE on Friday was really fun, I was writing on receipts furiously. Hehs.

Got myself a haircut on the same day, with Gilbert. It feels so strange to have short hair. It's not like I wanted it, I got a job, and long hair's a no-no. BOO.

Soon leng's 18th birthday bbq at ECP was a blast! He's like officially 18, the LEGAL age. I'll have to wait for about another 3 weeks. Hehs. HAPPY 18TH Soon Leng! (:

And so, I'm off again. To seriously get some much needed sleep. I'm sleep-deprived.

Cheers.

2007-04-18T23:42:00.000+08:00

Until The End - Breaking Benjamin

OK. First week of school, so far, has been.
FUN.

Why? Simply because I've been helping out daily at the SU goodie bag distribution booth, and the fun and laughter are just plain unexchangable. Skipping lectures for it, has been one of my best decisions I've ever made. Hehs.

Fair enough, I've probably been skipping too much, and I've only attended my IS class so far. Ironic, isn't it? The fact that I've seen my IS classmates while I've not seen my usual classmates. But I've to say, IS just ain't gonna be any interesting or enjoyable compared to being at the booth.

Switching between the SU booth and my Fencing booth, I've managed to look at the registration numbers for fencing, and I'm really glad quite a number signed up! (:
Hopefully this batch would stay, well, at least the majority, at the very least.

Hanged out with Adam, Gilbert and Putrithepaisehrawrercopter just now at town, and it was really funny to watch both Adam and Gilbert struggling hard to fight their inner demons to go clubbing. I suddenly felt good being underage. HAHA.

It's been really fun hanging out and helping out at the SU booth for the past three days, and there's only two days left! So I'll do a little advertising here.

NPSU HOPNITE.
4th May. Convention Centre. 7pm onwards.
Registration Fee: $10.
Open to all students from NP.

Sign up people! It's gonna be a night of fun, joy and lots of beauty and brawn on display, cause there'll be a pagent going on. So take your chance to sign up! Registration is still open!

Alrights, I'm running late, I need sleep. Plenty of it.

Cheers.

Holly Wood Died - Yellowcard

I'm back!!!!!!

Back from camp, and it's just plain undescribl-able,my feelings, my emotions. FOC '07 definitely rocked. No doubts about that. Let's go back in time, starting from Day -1. *Warning - Post would be extremely long-winded. *

Day -1.
We had our own book-in day over at Russell's place, but prior to that, Michael and myself got ourselves a pair of shoes, before proceeding to Queensway to meet up with Russell and Joanne. Upon reaching Queensway, we ate, and looked around for shorts, only Joanne and myself got the shorts.
We left for Russell's place, almost drenched in rain and met up with the rest at Russell's place. Mark, Jiv,Hongsheng,Kelvin were already there, while Mohd Noh, Khai and Hashim joined later.
We played, ate, and went about lepak-ing. Some went to watch Supernatural, while I watched 'Remember the Titans'. It sure brought back memories of my FOC group TITANS.

Day 0.
Left Russell's place late, thanks to Mark-I-want-5-mins. Apparently the ones who reached on time were being punished and we joined in the punishement when we reached till everyone was there. Got screwed by Zhou, and we went to pack our stuff at the crew room.
Basically the day was much of 'Own time, own target'.
I and my fellow GLs couldnt wait for the next day.

Day 1.
CAMP day!! We were all basically hyped up and jumping around, and I was tasked to bring the freshies up the atrium stairs upon assembling in groups. I was so excited at the way the freshies were arriving in droves, I kept jumping up and down.
Returned to the sports hall after the last batch were sent, and I was overwhelmed at the sight I was treated to. Groups practising their cheers, it was an intimidating sight, but also a beautiful one.
Tried to hype my group up, but found out that the guys were really quiet compared to the girls.Dagonet was doing a good job, but I knew my group would catch up somehow.
We soon separated into our sub-groups, to play our ice-breaker games and cinderella. I found my sub-group forming a circle on their own while I was away, and it made me feeling really proud.
P4 was slowly making a impact, and I was really happy.
Being on duty during nightwalk was an extreme bore. So me and Putri decided to play around with the freshies, like making them chant "I'm scared" while walking. It entertained us a little.
Slept at close to 5am, and that was after a stupid fire drill, which proabably caused a number of freshies booking out.

Day 2.
P4 did complain about the boring ball games on Day One, but I'm sure they were'nt complaining anymore, cause it was the station games! They probably grown a phobia of butter after the games. Heh. This day probably will be my proud-est moment, cause I see my very own P4 bonding quickly, caring for each other.
It was a touching scene, especially during the ending of station games, I could feel my hair stand when they cheer-ed.
We taught the freshies campfire songs at night with Robert. Slept earlier than Day One, had a long day ahead the next day.

Day 3.
'Pia Zui' was played, and we made sure every freshie was drenched. Pool games was a bummer, no thanks to the rain. But despite that, we managed to change our own "Oi" to a new one.
Campfire! It was time to get everyone to hype up, and I could see everyone was. Although it was frustrating to hear that the skits our freshies had worked so hard for, had to be cancelled, their cheering more than made up for it.
Left school with Iggy, Junhong, Caryn, Cheryl, Evan & Desmond to get tibits for prize giving, and also got our breakfast at macs.
Brought Caryn, Cheryl, Evan & Desmond to my clubhouse to sleep. Slept at 7plus am.

Day 4.
Freshies' Bookout day. Time to emo, cause it was time to watch the freshies' leave. Had prize giving, and Percival got the 'Most Lepak' award, lepak meaning relaxed/laid back. We're still proud of our freshies. Then Ming, Razis, Michael and Desmond came out and sang some emo song, which made me on the verge of tears. When they played "Graduation", that was it. My tears flowed like a tap.
We all wept, and I really understood how my Titans GLs felt now. It was a touching scene, and I was just so proud of my freshies. I will never forget you all. (:

Night 4.
PIZZA! We had pizza to celebrate, and some of us played soccer after that, 4 hours straight! Was shagged, and just fell asleep on the steps. Woke up abruptly to find myself close to a pool of vomit. Thank god I didnt touch it. Went over to the crew room to sleep.

Day 5.
Our bookout day. Woke up early, and went over to the pool for a short swim. Bathed, and ate a little breakfast, and while waiting for lunch, took plenty of pictures, including TITANS! So glad that there were so many Titans freshies as GLs. Cleaned up the crew room, and we went over to macs to have our lunch. Bade goodbye to the rest as I took a cab with Alex home.

In short, this camp's been a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. It cannot be replaced by anything else, and I'm thankful that I'm part of this Camelot family. I'm gonna end this post off with my group 'Oi'. Sentosa tomorrow!

Percival Oi! "Shing!"
Percival Oi! "Shing Shing!"
Percival Oi! "Shing(x11times) BOTAK!"

Cheers.

End - Secondhand Serenade

CAMP!! Ok. Maybe not yet. But soon. And I really mean soon! Camp begins officially on Monday, but I'll be "booking in" tomorrow at Russ's place. And then the official booking in day for myself and other GLs on Sunday. This is unbeliviably fast, and I'm really excited. Hehs.

So, the past week, or rather, past weeks, I've been basically treating school as my second home. I've made countless trips to school, to promote FOC camp during the laptop sales period with my fellow GLs. Definitely had loads of fun and laughter. Saw some familiar faces, saw some enthu freshies, and I hope some of them end up in my group. It'll be fun. hehs.

Not only promoting FOC camp, I even went to the extent of staying over at SU on Monday night. Did some serious trash talking with my group, and thankfully, things were resolved. Hopefully now, each of us can put aside our differences and work towards making this camp a success! (:

The sick bug has caught me, and how timely indeed. Just right before camp. I'll probably be well once I get enough sleep. IF I get it. Cross fingers, I will.

And so, I'm gonna be away from tomorrow ( 30/3) till next Friday (6/4). That amounts to a week. I'm sure gonna miss my bed!

Hopefully the freshies will make a good subsitute. I'm gonna make sure I enjoy the camp.
Till then,

Cheers.

Again I Go Unnoticed - Dashboard Confessional

Alright, I apologise for the previous entry, with me being really emo and all that. But it was a difficult period, and thankfully, I had friends who stood by and helped. You know who you are, THANKS A MILLION. (:

Well, moving on with things, I've been extremely busy with my GL duties, going down to school almost every day for meetings and what not. It's been taking up probably three quarters of my life now, but I'm definitely not complaining. It's worth it, especially whenever the bonds between the group feels closer.

Besides the usual meetings, we've done the mailings to the freshies on Monday, and there were a few familiar names that came up, pretty famous ones. Well hound me for the names, if your curiousity kills you. HA.

Being given a rare off-day, I took the opportunity to ask out two long-time pals of mine, Eoin and Kenneth. It was the typical catching up session, we probably could talk for days. Talked more than we walked, that's for sure. It's seriously times like this, I wished I was back in secondary school, where worries and problems are at the minimum. I want another catch-up session soon. And by soon, I don't mean 3 months. hehs.

Well, that's about it so far. Having our camp promoting session tomorrow during the laptop sales, I can't wait to see the freshies. hehs.

Cheers.

How To Save A Life - The Fray

PROBLEMS. More problems. The very fact that all the problems I'm facing at the moment are all coming at me at once, leaves me with no other choice but to rant here.

I don't want to list each and every one of them down. Cause it's pretty pointless.

All the pent-up frustration's building inside of me, and for once in a very long time, I feel like screaming again.

It's times like this, that I'll look at couples with envy, because they share problems together. Me? I share it alone.

Every single problem leaves me so helpless, so weak, that I really detest myself for being so useless. I want to help, but it seems my help's of no use at all.

I'm supposed to be happy, because I passed all my modules. But here I am, releasing my frustrations, being stressed up, and always bothered by the problems that I face.

Screw it all.

This Ain't a Scene,It's an Arms Race - Fall Out Boy

Back! I'm back after spending 5 days away from home sweet home. Stayed over at Russ's place on Monday, and subsequently spent the rest of the days over at school, at trial camp for FOC. It's been a wholesome experience, one I would have it etched in my mind forever.

Losing my voice's probably the only thing I have anything to complain about, but the newly foster-ed bonds that has been created during camp, well, it's just priceless. The groupmates I have are great people, and I can't wait to continue working with them for FOC. Let's rock FOC, PERCIVAL. (:

Hopefully I'll get my voice back soon, because its bad enough that I sound really hoarse, but worse still when I have to keep repeating myself whenever I talk.

Just came back on Friday, and straightaway I've just came back from AGM meeting today. I've no idea what AGM stands for, but it's a meeting where the previous batch of EXCO members pass the mantle down to the present batch.

Being the secretary, I suppose I'll be looking foward to doing plenty of shit work, but I'm confident my batch would do a good job.

As you can see, I'm almost laden with endless meetings, etc. I'm not complaining though, I enjoy what I'm doing, and that's probably all that matters now.

So, without wasting too much time, I'll end off here, to get my sleep back. Till then,

Cheers.

It's been quite an eventful week, and here I am back, to start off with an rare entry in the day. See, I've just came back not long ago from an overnight movie marathon, but that can come later.

First things first, CNY.
Somehow, this year's CNY just seem so much quiet-er, so much more boring. It's like no one bothers to celebrate CNY anymore. The buzz's gone, and so are the "ang-baos". How dreadful. Oh well. It's definitely a CNY I'll rather not elaborate about, let's hope next year's a better one.

TBD.(Team Bonding Day)
Went back to school, skipped my training. For what? TBD. Played the usual games, or should I say, the same ol', same ol' games? Overall, since it's only a one day event, I should'nt be too critical. It was pretty fun, and besides, seeing some familiar faces definitely brought a smile to me. Next on the list, Trial Camp. And it'll be FOC. Time's passing so quickly, I'm now a GL for FOC, when it felt like it was just yesterday that I was a freshie. Memories.

Movie Marathon.
Like I've said above, I've just returned from a movie marathon screening over at Orchard Cineleisure, tickets courtesy of Eddie. They showed three Oscar nominated movies, namely, "Babel", "Volver", and "The Pursuit Of Happyness". Now obviously, the lot of us was looking foward to the last movie, but to sit through 3 movies from 11pm to 6am, it was kind of challenging. The movies turned out to be good movies, although I can't fathom for nuts what the 2nd movie was talking about, or how the plot worked. Still, a million thanks to Eddie for the tickets, definitely time well-spent.

And so it is, another week ends, another one begins. Till then.

Cheers.

Run - Snow Patrol

It's that time of the year again, yessiree, its Chinese New Year again. It's the time of the year where you get loads of "ang-baos" (if you have some huge family tree.), gorge yourself silly with all sorts of snacks, the usual gatherings, the usual exclaimation from relatives, "My, my, how grown up you've been! Children grow up so fast these days, blah blah." And I thought a tape recorder sounded more repetitive.

Reunion dinner yesterday at grandma's was fabulous! She basically whipped up all my favourite dishes, and I swear by her unbeatable braised pork, and I say her skill level hasn't dropped a wee bit.

And speaking of food, I forgot to include in my last entry about visiting Russ's house for 'Pot Luck'. We gathered, well, myself, Mark, Russ & Jas did, and Mark cooked up spagetti which tasted great. Attention ladies, Mark can cook! ;)

Well, this email from Babe sure was interesting, it's about our Star signs. In bed. hehs. Well, here's mine, taurus.

TAURUS - The Tramp : Aggressive .Freak in bed.
Rare to find! Loves being in long relationships. Likes to give a goodfight for what they want. Extremely outgoing. Sexy cause ........ Loves to help people in times of need. Outstanding kisser. Very funny. Awesome personality. Stubborn. Sexual cause ......... Most caring person you will ever meet! One of a kind. Not one to MESS with. Are the most sexiest people on earth!

Have a good laugh at it, cause I sure did.

Well, here's wishing everyone a "ang-bao"-laden CNY! (:

Cheers.

Hinder - Lips Of An Angel

Hooked on this song, I can't stop listening to it.

Well, well. EXAMS ARE OVER!! There's just this uncontrollable joy in me, when the day came, the last paper. That wild, carefree abandon. But, reality sets in, and it strikes home. It's been one acadamic year, which means I've completed my first year in poly. It's been a ridiculously fast roller coaster ride, this first year of mine has been.

Enough of nostaliga, let's move on, cause I've just developed a phobia of visting town, since I've been there thrice in as many days.

First, 14th Feb.

Valentines'! It also signalled my last paper, and also, hanging out with BITCHASS & BABOON! Formal was supposed to be the dress code for the night, but a few of us broke the code, yours truly included. Heck, who cares, cause we had great fun. Who says singletons can't have fun on V-day? Let's let the pictures do the talking. (:

Awww. Isn't that sweet? The couple among the singletons.

Introducing BITCHASS & BABOON members, Eileen & Mich!

And there's Gilbert!

Mark! He loves Godiva chocs, so do we.

Here's Russell! Looking suave!

Jasmine! Our BABOON.

Group pictures! Fantastic day. (:

And I'm a fucking loser cause I'm shorter than Eileen. LOL.

15th Feb.

Went to town to get my CNY clothes,(no worries, I didn't get red. heh.), while Kenneth got his shoes. Well, it was a good way of rewarding himself after his good work in his O level Maths. Eyed a pair of shoes, I'm gonna have to save up for them. They look good. (:

16th Feb.

Town again. Last minute call-up by Mich, he decided to head to town to do some last minute CNY clothes shopping. Bumped into quite a number of familiar faces, some whom I've yet to see for some time, so it was a nice coincidence. We decided to make Friday our personal 'hang-out' day. Cool.

So here I am, back in the comfort of my chair, typing this entry while half-asleep. The new day beckons, and it's a day to look foward to, with reunion dinner over at my grandma's. Good food guaranteed, I assure you.

I'm salivating already. Till then,

Cheers.

The Breakup Song - American Hi-Fi

Sigh. I've no idea how I ended up here blogging, but somehow, I ended up here after some blog-hopping.

Personally, it has'nt been a good few weeks at the moment,rather, the past few days has been quite a torment for me, mentally.

How would you like, after a day of hard work at school, to come back to home sweet home, where you can relax, only to have your mum or dad tearing into you verbally, with their constant and non-stop ranting? It's driving me nuts, and I've lost the feeling, that feeling where you WANT to go home. I wish I never would have to go home. Not now, anyway.

Call me contradicting, but regardless of my blog add, I'm going emo, listening to emo songs and having emo thoughts. I wish I had you as my listening ear again.

Whenever I'm on those long bus rides, I never fail to let my thoughts drift, thinking about that girl, how I keep telling myself it's basically impossible, just impossible. Facts do hurt when you realise it.

Why this emo entry? I have no idea, it's probably because I've been holding this thoughts for too long, and I need an outlet to let it all out. But trust me, this is'nt all. There's more, but I'm not ready to share. Not yet, anyway.

So until then, I guess all I have, is my own ears, to listen to my rants, and myself to fend away the emotions.

I miss you.

Good Enough - Evanescence

Another week's about to begin, and I've just been through two year end tests last Thurs & Friday. Well, it's a little relief off the shoulders, but there's three more exam papers to look foward to, or not.

Well, the two tests went alright I guess, more alright for the first one, less alright for the second one. Oh well, it's over, no point harping on it. At least I've got them over and done with.

The study week has begun! It's time to mug like crazy for that one particular week, then go nervous over the exams nearing, and finish it and then for the holidays. I can't believe how fast my first year in poly is going. In less than two weeks, I'm gonna end my year 1 studies and move on to year 2 at April. It's really ridiculous fast.

Seeing how I first stepped into NP as a greenhorn during April last year, and now about to finish my first year in February. Wow. It's been quite a journey.

I'll probably do a proper remisicing when my exams are over. For now, it's full throttle ahead for the 3 papers. Wish me luck!

Cheers!

Six months, One year - Yellowcard

Today was just pure dope! Had a great time with BITCHASS&BABOON. Poly life would be extremely dull and boring without this bunch of great people I tell you.

Although I failed in attempting to study for the Ecology paper tomorrow, I definitely enjoyed my time in the library room, be it playing WORMS, or laughing my ass off watching Jackass 2. Today also marked our full attendance for BITCHASS&BABOON. heh.Too bad no pictures, they'll probably be up earliest, 14th Feb.

In any case, Baboon and I shared an emo talk session today, talked about our past, which brought up some old memories of mine, some of them being heartwrenching ones which I didn't want to keep in my mind. But heck with it, it felt good to let it all out. THANKS Baboon! (:

Thankfully I didn't have to wait for anywhere longer than an hour today for my bus, it came after 15mins or so. Whew. Don't blame me, but the phobia of missing my only bus home, cannot be ignored. But Friday nights are cursed for me I swear, cause it's two friday nights I've spent waiting 1 hour or more for the bus. No more staying out on friday nights. heh.

Alrighty, I just wanted to make a short post, seeing that my updates nowadays seem to be like per week, I wanted to make it more often. Wish me luck for my test tomorrow, till then.

Cheers.

Can't get enough of you baby - Smash Mouth

New blogskin's up. Felt that a change's overdue. so. Got a new one. Pretty refreshing, aye? I would really love to have this sort of relaxing view everyday. It would really soothe the intense stress I'm facing at the moment. Ah wells.

Seriously, blogging has been on the low for me at the moment, because of the mounting workload. I'm clearing them slowly, one by one, and I can't wait for the whole chunk to be cleared off.

Exams are on the way, well, two weeks' time to be exact. Not only that, I've two impending non-examinable module tests this upcoming Thurs & Fri. Now that's stress. But heck with it, I can't to just sit around and whine all day long, I'm definitely going full throttle for it, and not a single module this semester can be failed. Not one.

Well, the past week has been one of the most hectic I've been through, but at the very least, about half of the current workload's cleared.

And so, I'll begin yet another week, which I foresee, a much more hectic one. Till then.

Cheers.

I Wanna Hold You - Mcfly

Its the end of another schooling week, and so far, the restarted term has been hell. I've probably went through one my worst two weeks of my life, but I'm holding on, barely. Oh yah, and I forgot to mention how ridiculously busy I've been as well. Once this week ends, it'll be quite a relief.

Why busy? Let's just say, the school's annual Open House has just kickstarted yesterday, and it sure as heck attracted crowds by the truckloads. Prior to that, I've been training intensively for my IVP competition, which finally ends this upcoming Sunday. To say I'm operating at close to exhaustion is an understatement.

And to think I actually fell asleep during a retest! I need my beauty sleep, BADLY. This semester's moving way too quickly for my liking.

Having the open house ain't too bad, considering the school had a facelift, and it looks much better now, although the insides, where the engineering blocks are, are, well, still pretty much the old, crinkled buildings. Hah.

But fellow friends, you'll have fun at the open house, so feel free to pop by!

Let's see, the highlight of the two weeks has got to be last Friday, where I went through the highs and lows in one day. High-wise, it has got to be seeing eyecandy and saying "hi". (: The low has got to be the most insane one. I blooody waited 1 hour and 45 mins for a bus. FUCK. I think I've never waited anywhere close to that long during my whole 17's years of life. FUCK again.

Anyway, I can't wait for this week to end, it's been pretty bad, and I hope it won't end in the same way.

It seems I'm now blogging in the "update about life" basis instead of the day-to-day happenings. Can't help it, I'll definitely update more often if I had the time. Well, I'm off.

Cheers.

Radio - Alkaline Trio

Hellooooo 2007! Okok I admit, this is such a long-awaited post. Can't help it, it's been a whirlwind week for me, and I'm just getting settled down. Heh. Alrighty, let me summarise the past year, and I'm on borrowed time, since this connection could cut off anytime.

Let's see. 2006.
It has been quite a rollercoaster ride for myself, riding the very highs, and the deepest lows.
Achieving a pass in my Maths for Os was really memorable, since I was basically getting F9s since Sec3.
Then came the admission to NP, which was always my first choice poly. It was great news, because I had quite a lousy L1R4.
The first experience I had in NP was the FOC camp, and it definitely was a life-changing experience, as I changed to a much more outspoken guy as compared to my Secondary school days. Much more. Trust me on that. I made a lot of great friends as well. (:
And so it went, as I made more and more unbelieveable friends, close acquaintances.
Those were the highs, and now for the demoralising lows.

Now, being involved in a breakup was never nice, and I got to experience it once again, in poly, and whenever I think back, I feel bad and guilty, and would really like to apologise to the girl.
It has more or less made me swore off relationships, because I was really sick of breakups.
Another low included watching my classmates move ahead while I had to repeat modules, it was not a good experience. Definitely not one for the record books.

So, as I bade goodbye to year 2006 last Sunday, I'm looking foward to the new year ahead, hopefully bringing more highs than lows.

New year resolutions? Hmm, how about getting good results for this Semester, coupled with a decent showing at the upcoming IVP competition. Of course, my friends are not to be forgotten, let our ties stay strong, in fact, be even stronger! (:

Cheers!

Shut your eyes - Snow Patrol

Back from a ridiculous hectic week I tell you. I swear this post's gonna hit the records for an all time longest.

Monday - Tuesday.
Combined chalet with class of '05 4E3 & 4E2. It was really great to see the familiar good ol' faces, some whom I've missed out for close to a year. So it was really pleasing to see them all again, people like, Eoin, Kenneth, Basil, Ganesh, Chi Hwei, Jiali, Kellyn, Jasmine, Cheryl, Regina, Swan, Valerie. If I accidentally missed out anyone, apologies cause its been such a crazy week my mind's exploding already.
Anyways, we had plenty of fun catching up with each other, had a nice BBQ, played some fun games like Indian Poker, "Zhong Chee Mi Ma" with forefeits.

Basically, it was really great to be able to catch up with everyone. Slept for less than 2 hours after playing through the night. Best thing was, I had TBC the next day.

TBC 2006 Wednesday - Friday.
TBC! The event I've been most looking foward to for this holidays. It sure didn't disappoint, cause it was like how Jeremy described it, " Awesome camp, just a little short of being Legendary." I can't describe it any better.
Day One.
Booked in quite late, cause I joined Jaime, Yani, Babe, Roy at Macs for breakfast.Wasn't really very hyped up cause I was seriously lacking sleep. Got called up to the sports gallery to play a "Negotiation" type of game, which involved a rope and we( I was paired up with a girl ) had to reach the wall without pulling the rope apart. I touched the wall and was in Group A.
After that, placed our bags in our dorm, and headed to the field to play, firstly, a butter ' passing' game, where we had a ruffian string through our shirts and we had to pass a slab of butter through everyone. It was dirty, but fun.
We followed that up with Operation FOPE. It was DIRTY, and exhausting. We had to do this mud-filled obstacle course, and end it with climbing up the dreaded Butter Hill. I was one of the pyramid guys, and it was shitass tiring to be under the sun and helping up people up the slope at the same time.
Bathed like there's no tomorrow after that, and we had our groupings made again. Our groups had to come up with impromtu cheers and skits to impress the crew, and my group wasn't too bad, since we didn't exactly know each other. :)
Navigated through the drain afterwards, and it was pretty alright, but tiring.
I was seriously falling asleep while waiting for my turn for the nightwalk, planned by another group of campers. Being the third last, I had Babe n Roy for company. We were seriously too bored, to the extent of 'shadow-playing' and acting out a threesome. HAHA. The nightwalk wasn't too bad, but maybe cause I was the last few, they were sort of slacking around n I didn't get spooked too much.
Hit the sack after that, which was like at 2plus am. Woke up at 8:30am the next day.

Day Two.
Had some ice breakers in the morning, with a little game, called "Double Whacko". My name kena called quite a few times, but was saved each time. Not bad, then we proceeded to the next event of the day, Treasure Hunt.
I was in Group 3, and it was really fun to walk around the whole NP campus. YEAH RIGHT. It was freaking tiring, and the van carrying water-gun shooters seem to keep following us. I helped to find one piece and we were the first group. :)
Had Bondage after that, where we were tied up with a rope. ALL of us. It was damn smelly and warm, but I'm really proud we made it all the way and into the goalpost. :)
We played "Broken Tele" after that and it was hilarious, especially my group, when Gilbert n Russell decided to mess the message up. Did some really hilarious actions, laughed till my cheeks hurt.
Then we had to create our own games which other groups could play with some materials. Even though our group didn't win, I'm proud because I felt our game was the most enjoyable and fun one.
Proceeded to our last event of the camp, which was to find 99 un-broken lightsticks in the school field. We tried our best, and found only 88. But it was a good effort. :)
Bathed, and went to the student plaza to chill with Micheal, Mark, Gilbert, Russell, Chekwye, Greg, JasmineGL n Fabian the 'lao jiao'. Talked cock, and Mark was so in love with his new found word, 'Kuay Neng'. Ordered Macs, ate, and headed back to our dorm for our much needed sleep.
Slept at 5:30plus, woke up at 8:45.

Day Three.
Shagged day. Last day of camp. Packed our stuffs, headed to LT73 for our last briefing and a short video by Shaun. It was quite touching, lah. All that memories. All that new found friends, all that bond that got closer. Had a long time with photo-taking. Happy, lah, had a picture taken with my eye candy. :) Heh. Mike was jealous. HAHA.
It was really a short one, and I headed home n knocked out. Now suffering from post camp blues. Damn it, it always happens I tell you.

And that's how my 'amazing week' went. That's one week of holidays down, one more to go. Damn fast, lah. This year's about to come to an end. Wow.
Well, I'll end here, and with my warmest wishes, Merry Christmas! :)
Cheers!

Like you - Evanescence

*Snaps fingers*. Well, that about sums up how my Commontest week went. Just by a snap of a fingers. It went by real quick, and sad to say, it was'nt exactly very satisfactory, and I'm expected to flunk at least one paper. BOO.

BUT! Exams are over! It's the great ol' holidays! Or is it now? Basically, it's a crazily- packed week ahead for me. It's ridiculous I tell you. I'll be involved in activities from tomorrow onwards, all the way till Friday. Fantasticccccccc.

Well, let's just say I'm really really glad the Commontests are over, the huge sign of relief on my face was so very evident after the last paper on Friday. But amidst all that stress, I actually found time to meet up with those sweet & lovely Etnika mates! Babe, Roy, Jaime, Yani, you all just make my day! :) And I've managed to find out TWO trump cards against Jaime. HAHA.Great stuff. Let's have more!

Speaking of schedules, I just completed a NUS fencing open. My team did'nt make it through to the elimination rounds, but the other team did, and got 3rd place! Excellent work! Our girls' team also managed to get 3rd place, so it was a good day for NP Fencing. Below are the pictures of the winners! :)

GREAT JOB GUYS! :) Hopefully the next time we win something, I'll be part of it. It's time to really buckle down and work not only doubly hard, but triple-ly hard.

I'll be back with more updates real soon!

Cheers!

Vulnerable - Secondhand Serenade

The above title reflects myself almost perfectly. Tiredness, frustration, and more tiredness fills up the current life. It's been a long, long time since I've been able to get a proper night's of sleep.

Busy I am, so much so I've really lost track of time, I don't like ranting, but I can't help it. The current schedule I have at the moment reeks of tons and tons of work to be done, to be learned. Without the friends I have, I'll definitely would have collapsed, or run away from the responsibilities. I thank GOD for that.

Indeed, in about 2 to 3 weeks' time, the dreaded Common Test week will arrive, and that'll mean 5 examinable papers for myself. As if that's not bad enough, I'm currently struggling, and I really mean struggling, with my A-maths module. Thankfully, there's friends that have offered a helping hand, and I really appreciate that.

How ironic, when I keep complaining of how busy I am, I've actually found the time to catch a movie, "Casino Royale" this past week. The movie's jam-packed with endless action, and suspense, and a movie I would recommend. Both me & Hannah decided to give this movie a 4 and a quarter stars out of 5. Don't miss it. :)

Apologies for digressing, and so it seems, as the Common test looms ahead, I'll really have to buckle down and work my socks off, in order not to replicate the results I achieved last semseter.

I'll end here, and hopefully, should I update again after the Common test, I'll return with happy updates. :)

Cheers!

Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard

Woots! I've just realised I haven't been updating for like, 2 weeks!? Tsktsk me. Then again, you all can't blame me at all, no no. Why? Cause ever since school's started, my schedule has been packed to the brim, so much so I'm suffering from exhaustion, horrible horrible exhaustion.

It's like I never ever doze off on bus trips, but lately I've been dozing off after like 10 - 20 mins on the bus. Amazing. The only few times I recall dozing off in buses are the times when I've just came back from a chalet or camp. Now I'm dozing off without going off to these! I need help, rather, S-L-E-E-P. Lots of it, please n thank you.

As if that would've been possible, I've been really busy, with numerous assignments, homework, quizzes, tests, reports, etc; all piling up like Mt Everest. It's ridiculous, considering this semester's supposed to be more "slack". And of course, there's fencing training, where its 3 days a week, its taking the life outta me. And FYI, being the co-captain's really pressurizing, and worse when you see pathetic turnouts for trainings.

Anyway, enough of all that unnecessary ranting. Etnika dinner outing was such a GREAT one! I missed everyone so much, all the jokes, monkey-ing around. Let's have more get-togethers! Pictures galore!

Look at us, posing in front of the broke-down-ed
bus. Wasted so much of our time.

See the plate number? Remember it! The bus that broke down & wasted our time. BOO.

Waiting at Swensen's, I was trying to give that "freaked out" look, I wonder about Far'.

Food glorious food! Waited for quite a while, with stomachs growling like mad.

Jaime's set dinner. It had chicken breast & fried banana. LOL. She kept emphasising on it.

Chocolate Fonde'. Deliciously addictive.

Group photo! Many thanks to those who made it! It was a GREAT dinner. Best one I've had in a while. : )

And with that, I guess that's about it. I'll try to update more often, but it's really a mentally & physically taxing semester for me. Oh wells. I need to de-stress. Badly. : )

Cheers!

Out Of Control - Rufio

Managed to catch a movie today, with a rare outing with Titans, well, the turnout was like, six people? Out of? Err like a lot more? LOL. It's alright I guess, I'm still glad there were people whom turned up, and we don't blame you, Jasmine! HAHA.

Anyway, we managed to catch the movie," The Prestige", and well, if I were to give a rating, I'll give it a 3/5 star rating. Even though the papers give it a high 4/5 star rating, I gave it 3 only because I felt, and not a sentiment shared by me only, was that the movie proved to be too intriguing a movie, it made you think, made you confused, made you sleepy. In short, it was quite a "Put on your thinking hats" kind of movie, and you really have to pay attention to understand the whole plot. So basically, it was quite a waste of money, considering its the weekends some more. TSK. You've been warned.

School's started this week! Time to hit the books, come home at 6,7 plus everyday except training days ( whereby I reach home at like 11plus), hang out with classmates, slack at the library, etc. So far, school's been pretty much alright, the modules I have, including one retaken one, has been quite on the easy side, as compared to the tough modules I had last semester. However, its still too early to make judgements like this, so I'll see how it goes as the semester goes on, but one thing's for sure; I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY MATHS MODULE!

That aside, well I'll have to ask around and put more extra hard work than the others, its back to the usual Tues & Thurs trainings, great stuff. Oh and to digress from the topic of training, I've picked tennis as my Sports & Wellness module I have to take this sems, pretty much looking foward to that. As for fencing, I've been recently appointed co-captain of the foil-ists, and I must say, its quite a task trying to lead, but I'll put in my best efforts! *grins* All my hard work have not been wasted. Let's all work hard for our IVP competition this upcoming January!

Alright, that about sums up my first week back to school, still trying to settle back into the "school" mood, after that long break. I hope there'll be more outings, from Titans, Etnika(hint hint), and my poly khakis!
Cheers!

Poetically Pathetic - Amber Pacific

Back! Finally, I came back to Singapore yesterday after spending a solid 5 days over at Pulau Ubin going through my OBS camp. How was it? It was a blast! And that's to say the least. It certainly lived up to its "mentally and physically challenging" nametag. To basically summarise the whole camp journey, I've been put through the "Marine Mobile" course, and it consists of spending two days at campsite, and three days out in the wilderness.

If I were to give a day-by-day account, I'll probably be ending up writing an essay. So, I'll try my best to summarise each day. Being a "newbie" at OBS,(I didnt get the chance to go during my Secondary Sch days), all I could depend on were the sharing of tips and experiences by friends whom been there, done that. They were saying," It's gonna be a great time for you," "You'll be feeding mosquitoes like mad!", " You'll learn plenty of new things"," You're gonna get super-tanned", etc. Well, in a way, whatever they said, they were all true.

The first day was the usual camp routine, getting to know your people and way around. Being the only year 1 student in my group,(my friends were in another group), I felt a little apprehensive at first, but in the end, we ended up fine. We went about our logistics and other adminstrative stuff, and moved on to one of the obstacle courses, and did our first activity of the day. It was basically a "learn your ropes" kind of thing, so it wasn't too challenging.

Moving on to the 2nd day, we were off to our expedition to other campsites, and the mode of transport? Kayaks! Being a first-timer, it was a great experience learning how to kayak, and I wouldn't mind kayaking often. We set off to our destination, and it was really interesting to camp on the wilderness, cooking our own food and sleeping in self-built tents.

We moved on to the next destination on the 3rd day, which required us to nagvigate and manouveur through mangrove areas. It was quite an experience indeed, kayaking in the tight areas, crashing into plantations like trees, and having all sorts of insects on your kayak. An experience indeed. As a result of some wrong turns, the journey was lengthened, and thus, we were all pretty much exhausted at the point of reaching our destination, where we got to get inside a quarry, and being able to swim in it too. Another great experience.

On the 4th day, we began our journey back to the OBS campsite, and it also signalled a closure to the outside camping. We had our games, like captain's ball, and that helped to bond the group even further. Our last dinner together, and we were all led into a room to share our thoughts on the past 4 days, it was quite a touching moment. Of course the laughs were evident as well.

Last day! Everyone was looking foward to home sweet home, not because camp wasn't fun, but rather the lethargy and longing for our loved ones. We had our clean-up, and our last activity, which I felt was the most meaningful of them all, another obstacle course, but must more challenging, and we had to say our goals upon reaching the summit. We finished that up, got our personal souveneirs from the shop, and it was time to say goodbye.

To summarise the whole camp experience, I would say it's the most meaningful, enriching, challenging camp I've ever been to, and I haven't regret it one bit. Although the countless mosquito bites are quite a deterrent, I still felt that this camp has been FANTASTIC. Enough said.

And to digress from the topic of OBS, I'll be starting school again in a day's time, and I'm pretty much up for it, because it can get quite boring staying at home. I know as well, that I must stay extremely focused, and get the results I desire. I definitely need to buck up. Well, that's about it I suppose, so I'll be back soon.
Cheers!

Letters to You- Finch

As I'm typing this entry, I'm eagerly anticipating my time at OBS, which will, well (what do you know?) starts tomorrow. In any case, I can't wait for it to happen. It's just so happens I'm once again, going throught that emo period again, and this camp might just prove to be my escape.

I know, I know, I shouldn't been blogging about emo stuff, but seriously, sometimes I just can't help it. Things at home's been horrible. I lose descriptives to describe the place anymore. Sometimes it's hell, sometimes its heaven. I can't take it, the endless swinging around. And to be true, it's more hell than heaven most of the time. They always expect me to do every single thing in the house, and I never ever complain. I don't mind doing housework, in fact, I enjoy doing it, but shouting at the top of your voice to make me do it? It not only pisses me off, it puts me off doing housework as well. What's wrong with talking politely?! Is it a fucking crime to talk politely? I wonder sometimes. And whenever something goes wrong, I'm the first to be blamed. Like hello? Does it always have to be me all the time?! I hate being accused, and I really mean it when I say I hate it. Like the younger one's always right, never wrong. FUCK. I seriously can't wait till I'm like 21 years old and leave this dump. I've held all this in me for the past few years. I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Sometimes when I look around and see happy couples, it hurts. How I've always wished I had a loved one beside me all these while, to listen, to give encouragement. But I know this day will never come. I just have no luck in relationships. 4 relationships, 4 heartbreaks. It makes my heart bleed whenever there's a breakup and I'm not the initiator. It SUCKS. Sometimes, a listening ear is all I asked for. Is that too much? They all say my day will come. I say that day will NEVER come. Call me a pessimisst, but thats what I am. Sometimes, I really wonder whats my point in existance, what do I exist for? To suffer?

Alright. That rant helped. I think I feel much better. Well, I think. Anyways, I went out yesterday to get my camp stuff I needed, first with Kenneth, over at Beach Road. It was quite a tough place to find, but we found it nonetheless. Got the items, and we headed over to Bugis Junction to just sit&talk. It was nice, I mean, obviously. This best friend of mine for the past 5 years has been at times, my pillar of strength, my listening buddy, my advice friend. It sounds a little mushy,(does it?) but I don't care. I can't thank God enough for blessing me with this buddy.

We had our own appointments, so we went our separate ways shortly after, and I went to meet Germaine! That BLUR girl, actually managed to see me today at the train station! (Sorry Germaine, I can't help it.) Well, I managed to find out that both our dads bear uncanny similarities! Like the same surname, ALMOST the same name, born in the same year. They almost sound like long lost twins! And both of us have a younger brother. How uncanny. Anyway, we went to Cold Storage to get the remaining of my camp stuff, and off we went our separate ways again since she's meeting her friend, and I, had to go back home. You know why, right Germaine? LOL.

Well,I apologise if today's entry sound very emo and all, but I really can't find another outlet to vent my frustrations. I wish I could,though. Oh well. I'll be leaving for OBS in less than a day, so hopefully I'll be able to have fun, and make more new aquaintances.

'Someone once told me life's like Monopoly, your life's determined by how many steps you take, you either go to jail, or make big bucks.' Sometimes I wonder if this is true after all.

I want you-Electrico

It's the end of another week, and I have to say, this holiday has been quite a fast one, like as though it was just yesterday that I'm on my way home to relax after a day at the exams. But I've not regretted the way I've spent the holiday, except probably for the fact that I couldn't get myself a job.Oh well.

Alright, this week's highlights probably centres on the 4E3 gathering we had on Friday. Well if you even call it a gathering, when you've seen the turnout. It was such a disappointment. I don't blame the organisers, because they are the last people you should be blaming. Why? Because at the very least these people actually bothered to organise an outing, much less the others. As expected, the people who will turn up, turned up, the ones who most of the time will go MIA, well, they outdid themselves again this time. It's really such a disappointing thing to see, really. It's as though the 2 year's of friendship didn't exist at all. Like it's just a dinner, will turning up really kill you? I don't understand why whenever a outing occurs, some people JUST have to have something on. It's just ridiculous. Way too much of a coincidence already. It sucks to know that. Oh well.

The dinner get-together wasn't too bad, it was really nice to see some familiar faces again, and to catch up with each other. Catching up with them really was great, especially buddies like Eoin, Ganesh, Jens and all. We've all been so caught up with our own lives it's really nice to have a little spot for catching up. The usual laughter and banter was music to my ears. It was great.

Lately, I've found out that I can't seem to catch up in training, losing my breath on most occasions. Which is weird cause it never happened before, so I'm really wondering what's wrong with my body. Let's hope it was just what I ate and stops at that. The last thing I need now is to slack off at training.

School's going to start in like two week's time? The last event I have on my schedule's my OBS camp at Ubin. Basically the hols has been pretty much about camps and outings, and I ain't complaining.

Alright, Babe wants me to blog about how much I miss her, but it's not just her I miss, I miss the whole load of Etnika people too! The last outing's not enough, let's have more!

So here's the pictures of the T3 dinner get-together and 1F01's chalet! Enjoy, and Cheers!

PS. That's me having a taste of 'Tau Pok'. LOL.

2006-09-26T22:40:00.000+08:00

Wasted.

Alright, I've a feeling this is going to be one of the longest post so far, so I better get started.

Let's start off from Saturday's Fencing friendly held at Tanglin Secondary.It was a really enriching experience, competition-wise, well I have to admit we didnt do to expectations, but still, considering it was our first exposure to the competition level, it was a really good and enjoyable experience. Results-wise, I'll rather not talk about it, cause it's quite a embrassing score, BUT! I must really hail Yazid, cause whatever possessed him to score 15 POINTS in one bout was just plain unbelieveable. All Hail Yazid! Maybe incidents prior to his bout or during his bout spurred him on, but heck, 15 points in one bout?! That's madness, lah. In any case, I've to get down to the basics and train like 9218479217 times harder, so I'll be good enough by the time the next competition comes!

Enough of that, let's move on to Sunday's T3 dinner outing! It was really fun-filled, not to forget laughter-filled too! Special thanks to Hafiz for bringing the lot of us to this place at Arab Street. It had a really soothing ambience, such a great place for chilling out or relaxing after a long day's of work. I can't wait for the pictures to be sent over. T3 lets have another outing soon! And this time sooner compared to the duration of the last outing to this recent one. Oh well. You get the point, lah.

After all that, its 1F01's chalet held yesterday till today! It has been some time since I last saw some of them, and this chalet could'nt have come at a better timing. The class, well not the whole class, consisted of Myself, Micheal, Liao Fan, Milton, KL, Richard, Le Hui, Emily, Hui Shi, Shawn, Pei Xuan, Allison, Wenli. The missing ones, well, you've missed out! We had fun cycling around the park nearby, the wind-blowing-in-your-face feeling was fantastic. I guess the REAL fun began at night, when we 'tao pok-ed' Richard twice, was thankful I wasn't anywhere near the bottom of the pile, or else I'll probably be flattened like a pancake. LOL. After the jumping on each other, we played Indian Poker, with Vodka Absolute as the forefeit. FYI, that's 40% alcohol content. Now, prior to the game, I downed two mixtures with Richard, with the mixture containing more vodka then Pepsi. As if that was'nt enough, I had to down another two more cups. That was it, I got wasted along with Liao Fan and Richard. So the three drunk asses got themselves wasted and puked like crap, with me starting the queue. LOL. Thank god there was'nt any hangover, but the feeling of being wasted just felt so bad. And I want to thank those sober ones who helped cleaned up and taking care of us. THANKS!! Pictures will be uploaded soon, you'll probably be able to see how I look when I'm drunk. LOL.

Got home today, at about 9am, crashed on my bed and slept till 3:30pm. Tell me about hangovers. Oh wells.

edited/ Oh well, then again, I guess I can upload the photos after all. LOL. I'm too lazy to put captions, so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy n Cheers!

2006-09-22T22:46:00.000+08:00

Shut your eyes.

Well, well, well. Haven't been blogging in a while, but thats because I've been so freaking packed with activities the past week. MADNESS I tell you. Ok, before I begin blogging about the past week's happenings, I've been tagged by Mat. AGAIN! Well, here it goes.

7 random things about myself:

5.I love sitting down at a spot and talking crap with my buddies.
6.I hate techno. Seriously.
7.I'm crazy over tanning. Give me more SUNNY days.

7 things that scare me:
1.Being alone. That sucks man.
2.Dying with regrets.
3.Having fair skin. Its unhealthy. right hyper?
4.Being poor.
5.Not being able to fence.
6.Losing my loved ones.
7.I can't think of any more.

6.Making new friends.
7.Tanning. Enough said.

7 people to do this:
1.Babe! Muahaha.
2.JasmineGL.
3.Jaime.
4.Roy.
5.Caryn.
Thats it,lah.

Ok.Finally done! Well it has been quite a hectic week so far.I better start or else I'll never end.

Hanged out with my buddy Kenneth, on Monday, and it was great to hang out again together after such a long time of absence. Laughed, had fun. Bumped into plenty of familiar faces. So much so we decided that the day should be named "Familiar Faces Day". LOL

Training on Tuesday! The original plan of PT was changed, we had some drill training instead headed by Rus. It was a refreshing change, and it helped. I felt better fencing-wise after the drills. Good one.

Wednesday. ETNIKA outing! We decided on Sentosa, at Siloso beach. After my continous promotion of it, by saying " Its spacious, good place to tann, good place to play games!". HAHA right Babe? It was hell of a outing! We had a lot of fun sun-tanning, playing ball games like volleyball, soccer; taking loads of pictures. That wasn't the end of it! We headed for the showers and went over to Marina Square to have our dinner(long awaited one!) cause we were practically starving to death at Sentosa. Pizza Hut! Ate like I was starving for weeks, but it felt that way. Pool-ed a little before separating our ways. Etnika-ians! Lets have another outing real soon yeah?

Training again on Thursday. Coach Henry came over as usual, and we did Free Fencing! Thats my favourite part of training. The highlight of the day definitely was watching Coach fence. He's so damn good you'll freak out watching him. Just like me and the others. So bloody fast. He ain't a national fencer for nothing man! Gave a few pointers to us, which will be helpful for the friendly competition tomorrow. Got sabo-ed by my team mates to be captain. WTH.

Alrighty, basically today was just the typical 'slack at home' day. Trying to psyche myself up for tomorrow's friendly, wish me luck!

Thats about it. I'll upload pictures of Wednesday's outing soon! Cheers!

2006-09-15T22:24:00.000+08:00

You could be happy.

WHOOO! Back,finally. From Challengers' Camp '06. *Pictures ahead!* Although some are in the midst of being sent over. Let the pictures speak first,shall we?

Etnika! Thats the name of my group!

Etnika again! Smile!

That's Babe,Roy n Me. I look so forced. LOL

The clique.Consisting of (from left) Wan,Fa,Me,Babe, Roy. God knows what the hell was I looking at. LOL

The clique again! This time 'armed' with POCKY! HAHA.

The guys of Etnika. No, not all of them of course. But then again, our group's the group with the least guys. LOL

Me n Caryn. It's NICE to have a fellow T3-ian around!

Alrighty. There, that's the photos I have so far. Thanks to the people who took them and sent them over!

Camp was basically the usual fun-ness, making new friends, cheering till you lose your voice, etc. BUT! I still think FOC rocked better, much more. Maybe because this camp's turnout was such a disappointment when compared to FOC. 80plus compared to 400 plus? No match, lah. Oh wells, at least the people in my group was FUN people! Although it took us a little bit longer to bond and get hyper. But basically the skit part was the part whereby everyone truly bonded proper. The games were great-ness, the food, what can I say, it was SUPER! Way better then FOC,lah. Probably the only thing that beats FOC. HAHA. I'm just really really really( 3 reall-ies, wow!) glad to meet the people I met at Challengers'. Wan, Roy, Babe, Fa, Jaime, Yani, Sandra, Winifred, Ai Zhen, Shu En, Joanne, Jonathan, Wilson, Max, Chris, Tiffany, Kerlina, and the Gls in my group, Kid, Jasmine, Omar, Raj. You all ROCK. And others from other groups too, like Stewart, Wei Xuan, Diane and all. HAHA and it was nice to have fellow Titans Gls in my group! Pity T3 Gls werent around. :S

Di,di,di,di,di,di. A baby shark!

Yup.That's for camp. Now for results. Since today's results day. I failed my Hydraulics! Like BOO! I held hopes of just scrapping through, but damn it didnt turn out to be. BOO lah. Now I have to repeat it, and that sucks. Oh well, like I told Babe, no point getting upset and all. I mean, what's the point right? Wish me luck for next Semster yah?

There, that's all about it I suppose. Pretty long post, but its deserved since I was away for so long. Alright, cheers people!

2006-09-10T23:33:00.000+08:00

Real Gone.

Alrighty,before I begin,here's something I did since Nick asked me to.

Samuel Tay --
[noun]:

A brand of soylent green breakfast cereal

'How" will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com

I find this,well. Interesting and absolutely HILARIOUS. Green breakfast cereal?! Funny stuff, this website has.

Well, I'm gonna be sounding pretty happy in this particular post(well, what do you want? Me sounding all sad and emotional?!). In any case, let me present to you my newly-arrived foil blade!!

Whoo! Now that it has finally arrived( after waiting for 2819748935 years.LOL) I can practice my footwork and attacks and all that stuff at home! At home! Let's hope I don't accidentally stab anyone,especially that brother of mine. HA.

Ok,fencing aside, since I would be missing two trainings in a row! Can't believe it? Believe it cause even if I love fencing to death I can't help missing trainings because.Because of Camp of course! Challengers Camp! I'm sure hoping that it's a fun-filled 4 days ahead.Yes. You didnt read wrongly, its FOUR DAYS. Away from the comfort of my bed, my beloved laptop too. I'm gonna miss home. LOL

Still on the job-hunt! Well actually our names were taken down ( both Me and Micheal) yesterday at the Nike shop at Bugis Junction. Let's hope they call us soon. Real soon. I'm in desperate need of $$$$! You can't blame me, its just the typical world out there,lah.

There, that's about it. I will be back after the camp! Hopefully in one piece. Cheers!

2006-09-06T01:55:00.000+08:00

Linger.

Alrighty,time to do something I enjoy,Blogging! Its late I know,but what the heck,who cares huh?

Let's get down to work! Well let's start with the bad news, shall we? *NEWSFLASH* The all-famous Australian great, Documentarian Steve Irwin a.k.a Crocodile Hunter passed away on Monday, 4th September. He was unfortunately stung by a stingray's barb tail on his heart,which proved to be fatal.Its a tragic loss,to the entertainment and wildlife world.Deepest condosolences.
Personally,I've always enjoyed his documentaries on Animal Planet,where he shows his unbelieveable bravery in getting close and personal with crocs and other dangerous animals,with his famous catch phrase, " Crikey! ".Getting to know of his death was at first a big shock, because the last thing I would imagine happening to him was dying,and worse still, by a stingray! How life can be so unpredictable at times, tsktsk. He's gonna be missed, thats for sure.

Ok,enough about all that sad and emo stuff,it kills too.Its officially the third week of the hols,and somehow, its really saddening to be without a job, cause in a way, that particular $ sign's a language too.Sooooo, yes, I'm once again on the hunt for a job. yes again.

*Ponders*.Hmm.Oh yah,caught a movie on Monday,with Hannah."The Devil Wears Prada".In any case,it was quite an enjoyable movie, although I must say it wasn't really my type of a movie, but it proved to be quite a witty and at times,funny movie too. So I would probably give it a 3.5stars out of 5, for its story and of course,the menacing bossy "devil".Lol.

And as for fencing,I'm gonna be getting my foil blade this,wait,its tomorrow! I've probably waited 149814718 years for it to arrive, and finally, its here! Ok, I could have gotten it last Thursday, but dang it I forgot to bring the money. Oh wells, at least I'm getting it tomorrow! *grins*

Okokok,its getting super duper late, I need my precious sleep,but before I end off, here's a trailer clip of "Gridiron Gang ", a upcoming movie( I hope its gonna be aired in Singapore) featuring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, and Xzibit.It's an insipirational sort of movie, something like 'Remember The Titans'. I just loveeee this sort of movies. Great stuff. Enjoy and Cheers!

2006-09-01T00:53:00.000+08:00

Training-wise,I guess I complained enough of Tuesday's session,I'll hate to repeat myself again,in short,I'll just cut this particular person some slack since its his first time leading us.Oh well.As for today's,its definitely way better,with some free fencing under my belt,its good to be fencing again,after that long break we had.

I've been made secretary of the club's Treasury&Welfare committee,no thanks to you Germaine! Always sabo-ing me! Now I'm tasked with so much shit errands,of course not literally.In what way do I look like a secretary to you? LOL, I'll remember you for this,Germaine!

Alright,before I end off this post,I would like to wish my teachers,especially my Maths teacher,Ms Teo,HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY! Your continued pushing and guidance helped,so thank you.

There,all done,have to been going to do my so called 'shit work' already,tsktsk.Cheers!

2006-08-27T23:58:00.000+08:00

Broken World.

Sentosa trip on Friday! It was such a blast,it was just fantastic,lah. Although the sun-burns I have now aren't.LOL.Alright,since pictures speak a thousand words,here's the avalanche of photos taken on that day!

The guys of 1F01! Not the complete bunch of guys of course.(Standing,Richard and KL.Squatting,Liao Fan,Me,Lehui.Lying down,Micheal.)

Incomplete bunch of 1F01! Everyone looks so burned.LOL

Group photo again! This time,(Top row;Yingchun,Huishi,Wang yao,Richard,KL,Micheal,Lehui,Liao Fan.Bottom row;Emily & Me.)

Picture of one of the islands,what a great view! I LOVE the sun man!

After the showers,man do we look exhausted huh?(Me,Richard n Lehui.)

Whew! Thats about it,not a lot of them,but all are great memories of the day itself.Never would I expect that my thoughts of this class of mine would change so dramatically,never thought I would be able to bond with them at first,but now,we've just had a very first outing at Sentosa! Its really unbelieveable how a perspective can change so much.

Yup,I'll definitely be looking for more of these outings,they really keep me energised! My very own 'Energiser" batteries,LOL. Gonna have Fencing meeting tomorrow! Although training on tues has been mysteriously cancelled,the meeting would suffice enough,after all,the camp's on Wed! Can't wait,can't wait.

Alright,shall update soon.*I'm praying for sun everywhere tomorrow!* *grins* Cheers!

It's freaking over and it feels super good.Like a whole load of invisible mass carried off from your shoulders.It feels good,reaal gooood.So now,it's time for fun,laughter,and more fun.F-U-N.Although I'm wondering how's all that going to be possible with the ridiculous schedule I have ahead.Oh well.Time management will do me some good.

Okok,I'm off to some well-deserved rest.SLEEP! Cheers!
P.S. I'm looking foward to any outings you guys have in mind,just give a message or call.*grins*

So its quite a new record today.*Gives sascarstic clap*

Exams are finally going to end soon!!!! One paper left to go,although its the toughest one. Dang it. Anyway,DAY TWO today definitely is much much much better than day One, and its safe to say I won't be close to repeating this particular module next semester. Thank goddness.I need to go all the way for this next paper now,or else I will really be dead close to repeating. Nono,I do not want any repeating of anything.

Feeling rather good today, running into her was a plus. BIG PLUS. *Grins* But I'm really grinning to myself now thinking how Caryn reacted to my new look.HAHA. Her reaction's priceless man.

Alright,thats about it,I need to hit the notes and past year exam papers.REVISON for the last time! Will update soon.Cheers!

2006-08-19T00:25:00.000+08:00

Bad day.

Boom.Done.Finished.Over.I just finished the first of three exam papers I'm sitting for and man, did I screw this first one really, really badly. It's Maths, and Christ the A-maths topics just basically killed off any hopes of a pass.

Damn it.Today just didn't begin well, neither did it went well, or ended well. Firstly, I just couldn't get any formulaes or anything related to maths into my head when I tried to study in the morning, when I was so damn sure of getting it into my head the past few days. That wasn't the end of it, unfortunately, because the worst part of the day had to follow, because I freaking BLANKED OUT during the exam.

That was really the defining moment of the day, but it had to be a BAD defining moment, it really "made" my day, really. Blanked out.I just can't believe I blanked out.Arghh. The stupid-ness of all. I really feel like just shouting to ease the Emo feeling I have now. But where I can do that?

As if that wasn't enough, I got such a "great" dinner. Rotten cucumbers with chicken rice. How nice isn't it? Imagine smelling rotten cucumbers when you open the styrofoam box. Just fantastic.Just bloody fantastic man. Let's see. Studying ruined? Check. Exam ruined? Check. Dinner ruined? Check. Day ruined? CHECK!

Enough said. Received this "What your name really means" mail from a friend,and this is what mine means.

S-Easy to fall in love with.
A-You like to curse a lot.
M-One to have fun.
U-You really like to chill.
E-Damn good kisser.
L-You live to have fun.

Hmm.Let's see, I don't really know what to say, but somehow its pretty close, but "A"'s a little off, I don't like to curse a lot,FYI. The only time I curse would probably be a signal that I'm in a horrible mood. The rest,well, I guess I'll just leave it for you to decide. But "E"'s gonna be a little tough to find out though.*hahs*

Alright,I need to go back to my notes and make sure what happened today doesn't take place again next week.To all who's taking their exams as well, ALL THE BEST! JIA YOUs!
Cheers!

2006-08-15T21:44:00.001+08:00

So long,so long.

Don't know why I'm blogging in the middle of the week, its a been quite a while since I did that.But what the heck, here I am, so I guess I'll just blog.

"The final stretch is on", that's what my msn nic says, and I have to say, its really the final stretch now before the examinations begin! Let's see,I've just completed a AutoCad test today, which will be followed by Maths on Friday, and then it'll be EH and ending with Hydraulics. Come quick and end quick! I just can't wait for the exams to be done and dusted, so that I can move on to my so called "7 week break".(Refer to previous entry for details.)

Revising is definitely the 'to-do' item of everyday from yesterday, and I've been doing whatever I can do revise my Maths especially, but come to think of it, Hydraulics proves to be the more daunting module, and I really really am struggling with it! Shucks man.The rest,well, I would say are still on the manageable side, and after taking my AutoCad test today which I'm so proud of myself of, as I actually managed to finish the test! It's a first for me, and its a great feeling.*grins* Even my friends were surprised at my speed today, which I must admit is really quite extradordinary considering how I suck at AutoCad.Seems like hard work does pay off.=)

Okok, enough of all that, it sounds like I'm already boasting and all that. Well, that's something to be happy about today, and another one would be the fun we had today at Micheal's place.It's probably the first time in my life I've witnessed how a video game can actually "bring the animal out of you".And quite literally at that too.The guys were so 'high' with playing the game, I swore they almost tore the house down with their loud laughter and shouting. Not a place for the faint hearted, I tell you. But nonetheless, it was great fun, and I definitely found myself laughing in sitches on numerous occasions. Haha.

Listening to a lot of emo songs now, no thanks to the selections made by the iTunes player in my laptop.Don't worry,its having no effect on me, I'm perfectly fine and well, and definitely NOT emo.Yup, so I'll be off to more maths revision.Update soon.Cheers!

2006-08-12T00:23:00.000+08:00

Good Day.

Ahhh.This week's about to come to an end,with only the weekends to spare.Wait.Rather,its left with today and tomorrow.Time's passing rather quickly I feel,that it brings me back to last year,where I'm guilty of lamenting about how time's passing really quickly and all.Oh wells.

The Semester-end Exams are coming!!! Like its only a week more? Dang dang dang.I'm really not prepared at all,with so much work taking up the bulk of my time the past week.So many projects,assignments,etc to rush.Tsk tsk. Luckily almost three-quarters of them are done and submitted. WHEW!

And since exams are on the way,fencing has been put on hold,trainings have been postponed till after exams,well Dang it! So boring,and it really felt weird when I got home early on tues and thurs! I guess I was too used to the late nights on tues and thurs whenever training was on.Sigh I miss training!

Speaking of holidays,somehow I personally feel I don't have a holiday after all,with the ridiculous schedule.Let's see,I have three camps lined up,one class chalet to look foward to,a job to get and start with,and the outings still? Shucks I really wonder if I should call this 7 week break,a "break".Packed.Seriously packed.If you were to look at my schedule,you'll probably be thanking your lucky stars your schedule ain't anything like mine.LOL

Hmm.Its a good day today.Wait,make that a Fabulous day! It's been a while since I felt this happy,and I guess the outing I had today made my day.Won't divulge too much details here,but it really had bee a great day,lah.=)

Oh and before I end the post,I just got my hair cut a few days back, and its really short! Like freaking short.I felt absolutely weird when I got it done,like I can actually feel my ears again.LOL

Lo,and behold,the new look.Needs getting used to,I tell you.Oh wells.What's cut is cut.LOL.Alright,thats about it,with the exams looming ever so close,updates would be of low regularity,so I hope you guys understand.Cheers!

2006-08-07T00:49:00.000+08:00

Always You.

It's 12:45am in the wee hours of the new week,and here I am blogging when I'm supposed to be already in bed sleeping away for the long day ahead.But I'm not,and here I am with a post.I'm still wondering why I'm here blogging now.

Just completed a whole chunk of maths online questions,and I'm absolutely drained mentally.I'm already so horrible at maths,and now I'm given A-maths questions to complete.If there were'nt any examples to help me out,I think I'll probably be owing the teacher a whole Semsester's worth of questions.Shucks.I need help badly man.

Been a pretty exhausting week thus far,and I'm glad that a new week's coming up,hopefully less stressful,even though its kind of ridiculous to think that way considering the Semester-end exams are less than 3weeks away.Dang.I need to de-stress.Seriously.Half of the workload's been cleared,thankfully,but there's still the other half to go,and frankly,time's running out.Guess time really waits for no one.

Somehow I really feel like slapping myself sometimes,or make that during fencing.I just don't know why I always get so EMO whenever things don't go right.I need to do plenty of self-reflection for sure.I must learn to be no-more Emo.Gahh.I hate it when I'm Emo.Pulling people's mood down as well,damn I feel guilty.But still,THANKS guys for the advices and encouragement.You people ROCK,lah.

Tanning,tanning,tanning.I can't get enough of it.I want more of it.I want to be darker than those Dragon-boaters I tell you.

In relation to EMO-ness,recently my friends around me seemed to have be caught by the EMO bug.And the root of this bug seems to be always the "R" word.Relationships.It's like they always get down whenever they talk or think about their relationships.That's probably why I think I'm quite happy waiting for that someone.Instead of being embroiled in these problems every one of my friends seemed to have.Ahh well.I'll keep waiting.Right,Micheal?

Speaking of de-stressing,I wonder if anyone's keen to catch "Click"? Almost everyone I know of that has watched it have nothing but acclaim for it.Seems like a movie's immenient,and it's pretty long overdue,considering the last movie I catched was almost 2months ago.Shucks.

Alrighty,I guess I'll end off here.At least I have a public holiday this week to look foward to.Cheers!

2006-07-31T19:43:00.000+08:00

Coincidences.

Whoo! Another week's just gone like that.I don't know if its me or its that the weeks recently have flew by really quickly.Shucks.Worse thing is,the faster the weeks go by,the nearer the Semester-end exams loom.But on the bright side,it also signals the upcoming 7-week break everyone I know so desired!

Ahh,I'm finally feeling the stress it seems.For the workload's ever-increasing,whilst some of my friends in other courses are already looking foward to their long break.Dang.Tons of work yet to be done,I must really do plenty of catching-up.Worse thing is,I'm so struggling with my Maths module,and it sucks really.I never liked Maths,and I probably never will.Hmm that sounds familiar,I think I talked about this a million times when I was in Secondary school.

Camp photos are out! But dang the luck,I forgot I don't have a scanner,and there goes the posting of the pictures here.Dang it.Never mind,shall wait for JasmineGL to scan them and send it over.So till then,will the pictures arrive! I watched the videos in the Cd,and man it brings back great memories.Sigh I really miss camp.The atmosphere,the cheers,the fun and laughter,and most importantly,THE PEOPLE.Oh well,the impending break reeks of camps,so I'm pretty glad that I can re-live camp spirit. :)

Was actually feeling extremely EMO on Saturday,because I did badly in the physical test for fencing.I sucked,literally.I got so down I just went nuts thinking of things that are so "out-of-point".Dang.But I dusted myself off and picked myself up,because that's what I have to do in future,I'm not so lucky to have a girlfriend to share my woes with,BUT! My buddies will do,thank you very much.Hmm I don't even know why I typed that.Oh well.Thinking too much.Drifting away from topic.

Ok,I don't know if its me,or it's just that whenever I'm with Hannah,we seemed to just have friends that are inter-connected,like "Hey! You know Samuel?" or "Oh? You know Hannah too?".Seriously this little island of ours is INDEED a small country after all.Coincidences never cease I tell you.

And so,that's about it for the past week I suppose,looking foward to this new week,just like I've always been.Alright,gotta go rush out my assignments and projects.Cheers!

2006-07-24T21:30:00.000+08:00

If I Fall.

Before I let this blog of mine get tagged as a 'dead blog',I guess it's about time to update a little.

My workload's getting bigger! Like about time,my friends would tell me,and I suppose so.I mean,they have been busier than me before this so I guess I should'nt be complaining about it.But then again,I seriously would'nt mind a bit of work,at least it does'nt make me turn into some lazy bum.And so,with the mountainous workload that's about to descend on me,I guess the regularity of updates are just going to get lower.Ahh well,my Semester-end Examinations are coming up in about 3weeks' time and Christ I'm seriously struggling with some of my modules.

I need to buckle down and work even harder now.Or I could end up repeating modules which I'M ABSOLUTELY AGAINST.Nono I cannot do that.Work and study hard I must.

Hmm,should I go on about Fencing again?It's even beginning to sound like some cliched kind of thing to me already.But anyways,the seniors have promised a touger training regime,which coincides with the upcoming friendlies and competitions.And so,I'm pretty hopeful of getting fitter after all that training.With the goal of "Being the NO.1 sport in NP" set by our club advisor,ahh well,the tougher trainings are probably inevitable.Ohh well.

Sometimes looking at how some of my friends are currently going through some bad patches in their relationships,I just hope that only good comes out of their relationships.I hate to see sad people.Ahh well,personally speaking I don't think I'm ready for another,maybe whatever Micheal told me the other day actually made sense after all.Whoa,too much info here.Enough about relationships.Most of the time it makes you emo.And that's exactly what I'm absolutely avoiding.Bah.

Bahh,thinking too much again,I need a good workout or read.They're my best escapes.Not forgetting my buddies as well of course.Tomorrow's training should prove to be that.

Lastly,FOC camp photos are out! Finally,after an eternity of waiting! The memories and friends forged during the camp will never be forgetten.I'll upload them when I get them this Fri,so till then,Cheers!

2006-07-19T16:12:00.000+08:00

Simplicity.

Fine fine,perhaps I haven't been updating recently,but hey,busy what.So can't help it.Anyway,work's indeed piling up for me,although still,its a lot lesser compared to my friends in other courses.If I were to be stuck with their workload,I'll probably be dead by now.Oh well,at least now I know that whatever they said about poly being slack and everything?They're all lies man.
Saturday,said my goodbyes to a friend from overseas,as he takes his leave from S'pore over to the States to study.The things rich people can do.Anyway,took some pictures while on a visit to his place,and him living right smack in the middle of town and on the 23rd storey,well,how can I miss out on the magnificient view?

View from Anthony's place.Beautiful ain't it?

Taken from the ground level,its just my favourite of the lot.

Night-time view of the city.Maybe I should take up photography.lol

And so,it wasn't any tear-filled farewell,but indeed,a good friend's gonna be missed.Bon voyage,Anthony.

Let's see,somehow I can't describe how today have been,as I went from the exhilaration of being able to have no CAD class today to the pain I felt when I dropped my laptop.Christ.Behold the dent in the aftermath.

Ouch I say.And the thing is,this laptop's barely a year old,in fact to be exact,its only 3months old.The carelessness of it all.Dang.

I guess this entry's gonna be pretty long,but what the heck,you all wanted an update what!Anyway,before I sound so repetitive and long-winded,Fencing's gonna be part of my life soon,if not now.As the foil team gets more bonded,the happier and at ease with each other everyone seems to be.That can only be a good thing.GO Fencing!!

And to conclude this long entry of mine,I just can't wait for the Semester break to arrive,for the events to look foward to;Fencing Camp,OBS camp,Class chalet,more hang-out sessions,etc.I just know that this 7week break's gonna be an eventful and fun-filled one.So,till then,cheers!

2006-07-10T16:50:00.000+08:00

Everything.

A view from inside the library,and yes,you can probably guess where I am at the moment while blogging.Practical cancelled,all of a sudden we were given an unexpected surprise.Obviously a good one that's for sure.So thankfully for the library,a place to while your time away,either in waste or in good cause.Well,I did a little of both,wasting time on watching Russell Peters videos,but getting a hell of a laugh.Good thing too,that I have a bit of spare time over here to blog,for I foresee a terribly busy week,with assignments;etc looming ahead and definitely a mad rush to get them completed.

Still,I guess I should be instead thankful of my workload,compared to my other chums in other courses,polys.Their workload sometimes scare the daylights out of me,its as though it's never-ending.Tsk tsk.But,I would gladly offer any helping hand if needed.

That above's my injury incurred after falling in a gap between drains.Yes,go ahead and laugh your asses off,we do need to laugh at ourselves sometimes.Clumsy,yes.Funny,DEFINITELY.Even I was laughing at myself when I got myself up.Oh well.I must be going blind already.

On the other hand,as always,fencing's such a great escape whenever I feel depressed or stressed out.Being appointed secretary of welfare just feels weird,not that I'm complaining about the extra CCA points though.Although the PR position looks more appealing to me.Hmm.

World Cup fever,I guess you're subsided by now,after last night's Final between the Italians and the French.Congrats to the Italians,winning their fourth World title,Brazil,be wary.

So since I believe that there'll be a busy week ahead,I guess the next update would probably come after the week.So,cheers!

2006-07-05T23:51:00.000+08:00

Stay with me.

That's the work of a bored,and I mean really really bored guy.Yup,that's my "work" after boring myself out at the library on Tues.Ahh,it just so reminds me of the blog add.So yes people,please heed "Being hyper beats being Emo"!

The opposite of what I had hoped for happened,and now the workload's starting to increase by the truckloads but thankfully,it's still at the very least still manageable.

So,without my escapades in Hyper and fencing,I would have been exhausted from all that work.Ok,lah maybe it was'nt that bad.Anyway,fencing's been focusing on plenty of PT(Physical Training)and I will be quite shocked if I dont acheive a Silver at least for my Napfa at the end of my 3years.Still,I really love the feeling of catching for your breath,its such a great stress-reliever.

Well I've been pretty clumsy today,letting my right leg fall into a gap between a drain.The end result was'nt pretty-left me with some cuts and scratches.Ahh well,I wonder if its the stress of the work or the rigourous training regime of fencing that's making me so 'blur'.Oh well.

Ok,I've updated.So be happy my dear girl.Ok thats random again.Too much random-ness already.Cheers!

It's like a photograph,

a moment froze in time,

I'm staring at your face,even when I close my eyes.

2006-07-02T19:03:00.000+08:00

Here we stand.

I told myself to blog since Friday,but well,I guess I was a little too caught up with other things to do so.Anyway,its a Sunday,and here I am,bored out at home,while my family went out to meet some friend of my dad.Not being anti-social,but I just didnt feel like being out(this is rare!).Oh well,since Im home,might as well make the best use of the time I have on my hands.

Anyway,yesterday's breakfast and lunch were simply excellent,as I spent it with two of my best buds.Good ol' times will never be missed.And the great hilarious and ridiculous banter was present as always,and its just G-R-E-A-T.I guess friends you've forged friendships with for almost the span of either 2 or 4 years are really much different from friends you've barely known for a year.In fact,its not even a year yet.I'm being stupid here I know,because thats common sense.But well,I sure do miss my buddies.We can just click with a snap of the fingers really.And I do mean quite literally.

Ahh.School's first week after the term break is over,and it felt like it never was there.A relatively quick one,and considering the 6weeks left before Semester-end exams,well,its sure fast.The adrenaline rush's back I assure you.

And basically,there's no better outlet to de-stress other than Fencing,and personally I just can't agree more.The non-stop of pushing limits,physically and mentally,its just really a great feeling.Especially after you've ran like crazy,that fast-paced heart beating.Christ,its an unbelieveable feeling.Fencing/my loves.

World Cup's coming to an closure soon,and only the Semi-finals and Final itself stand before all the europhia of this great soccer event comes to an end.World Cup 2010,anyone?

So,its time to look ahead to a new week,hopefully filled with fun and not boredom(Not that this week was a bore anyway.) but nonetheless,its definitely great if it keeps on being that way.Feeling emo's so distant,I don't think I'll recognise that feeling anymore.Good riddance.Well,cheers!

I think we're alone now.

Its 4pm on a beautifulllll Thursday,and here I am wasting precious time in the school library.tsk tsk isnt it?Well,I just cant help it because I CANT go home.Fencing starts in 2hours time and I cant wait really.Hyper remember?

Anyway,school's been really enjoyable so far,maybe because the Commontest results I've attained so far has been really good,and so,its one paper left to go.Hard work really does pay off,so,WORK HARD!Assignments,projects,blah blah. are not really on the high at the moment,which probably explains my 'slacker' mentality.Oh well,have to 'slack' while you can,dont you think?

And for advertising purposes,me and Hyper Girl Mat decided to form a ANTI-SMOKING group,and our three slogans to make a smoker quit,are:
1)Smoking's expensive,lah.
2)It makes your breath smell bad can.
3)And lastly,it KILLS!
How's that for quitting smoking?Yes so please tell me if you want to be part of this group.Ok,random please.Ignore this part,lah.

Alright,my friends are rushing me off already.To get 2nd lunch of the day.I guess we can never stop eating.Oh well.Cheers!

2006-06-26T19:00:00.000+08:00

Picture Perfect.

A new blogskin,new blog address,and basically its a whole new beginning.I've been through some really really tough and horrible times recently,almost leading to me closing this blog down.But I guess my passion for writing,which can be substituted in blogging,can never be destroyed just because of a few setbacks in life.To the world who wants to know what I've been through,it includes a really close relative,as close as brothers,that unfortunately passed on.Thats bad.And a combination of other personal stuff which I really dont want to relive it again in here.

Well,enough of all the emo stuff.Remember the new blog address?Being Hyper Beats Being Emo.So,its seriously enough of all that emo shit.

School's started,and the first day of school just felt like I never left.Homework's the usual,piling up like crazy and countless assignments to(not) look foward to.Oh well.Commontest results are back! Well,not all of them,but some which I'm very happy with,especially my horrible Maths,because I've managed to secure an A grade,so its really hard work paid off.

Ok,I've blogged.That particular someone,your long wait is over.Yes this is random.So just ignore it if you're not that someone.cheers!

2006-06-16T20:33:00.000+08:00

Hands Down.

A street busker displaying his array of talents for all to see,not a bad way to write,is'nt it?

Pictures galore,no doubt,and it has been quite a retail therapy day yesterday with my buddies,although,I obviously didnt go shopping-crazy like all Singaporeans would during this period of the GSS.

As the pictures above are shown,its World Cup mania everywhere,so why should the Adidas shops be left out?They have put up a display of the different soccer boots of the 32nations taking part,but you cant possibly expect me to take all 32 pictures,and so I've decided to take those that look particularly outstanding than the others,and here are the pictures.Dont miss out on having a look at them,its worth the time Im sure.

I seriously crave for so many things now,but a limited budget can only get you so much,so its definitely good indication that I should be saving up a fortune soon.Reading has been on the agenda for the past week,and its really a great leisure,to beef up my language at the same time too.Any more good books to recommend?

Looking foward to a good friend's birthday celebration tomorrow,it beats being bored at home,thats for sure.I NEED TO GET OUT.And tomorrow presents a great opportunity to do so.Lets hope it'll be a fun and happy affair,and some much needed 'updating' on each other.

Well,since the first week of hols' about to end,I seriously hope it'll just pass a little bit slower.Oh well,what am I thinking?It IS the holidays,always a fast one.Cheers!

Rainy days are crappy days.

Tickle test results(What kind of dog are you?)
No bones about it, you're a popular, fun-loving Golden Retriever. Adored by all and too cool for school, you're extroverted and enthusiastic. Your magnetic personality makes you the life of any bash. Since you're a true people-dog, you genuinely love all kinds of social gatherings. Going to parties, dinners, and other shindigs is the best way to add faces to your constantly growing circle of friends. But besides being on the social A-list, you're a confident, well-rounded pup who's definitely something to bark about. Pretty accomplished at anything you set your mind to, your sunny nature and winning ways make you one of everyone's favorite dogs. Woof!
Tickle test results(What flavor are you?)
Your flavor is Sunny Orange
Your sunny disposition and happy-go-lucky attitude are the kinds of traits everyone loves to have around. Our bet is you're known as the chief supporter in your clan. If there's a bash to throw, you're likely the first one on the horn. If there's a crisis at hand, you can usually be counted on to rally the troops. Easy to talk to and fun to be around, you have a gift for blending perfectly no matter what the situation.This positive energy extends beyond good times into every other aspect of your life. Whatever your career path or goals, your natural ability to win people over and communicate ideas with enthusiasm are two key secrets to your success. The same glass-half-full attitude that makes you a fab friend will work its magic in the workplace. And in the world of business, those kinds of good vibes are always refreshing.

I was being bored,but then again,who wouldnt on a rainy day?I just detest rainy days so much.It really makes the day dull and boring because you get cooped up at home the whole time.I cant wait for the sun to be out again.In the meantime,I guess I'll have this tests to keep me company while I wait for the beautiful sun to be out so that I can get out of the house.

The world cup's really keeping me awake the past two nights,and its something I cant explain logically so I guess its the game that keeps me going.But the matches so far,excluding one particular match,have been pulsating,non-stop action packed matches.Oh well,they dont call it the WORLD CUP for nothing.More late nights to follow Im sure.

Thankfully,the holiday workload's not as heavy as I've expected,which is a nice surprise.Well,more days for fun! Whereas I have friends in other polys having their holidays crammed packed with endless projects,assignments,etc.Work hard guys,remember,its all for the grades.

Well,I suppose this two week break will provide an outlet to relax for my friends and I hope it really does.We DID went through a stressful period.So,till then,Cheers!

Ordeal's over.

YES.Finally,the long and arduous week has come to an end.And it feels great,really.The endless times spent at memorising facts,
practising formulaes,etc. are over.Well,for two weeks at least.But heck,its still a getaway.I'll do anything to just have fun,fun and more fun.Cause thats what Samuel's all about,not work,work and work.Oh,and have I mentioned?My holidays have officially begun!For those poor souls who still have tests tomorrow,well,hang on there,its gonna be over!

The week has been such a stress-filled one,I swear I almost had a severe mental breakdown.And to think its only the commontest,I darenot think whats next when the Semester-end exams arrive.But well,thats a long way to go,so I'll leave the thought at the back of my mind at the moment.As I mentioned above,it has been such a stressful week,if it werent for my friends,I wouldnt be here blogging,instead,probably in some pyscharist's ward.The world really revolves around friends,for without them,you're just,well,you.

Now that the holidays are here,I just cant wait for the fun-filled days that lie ahead,so people,if you're looking for anyone to hang out with,you know who to call.Looking back at how Im here lamenting about how stressful a week I had,and at the same time,looking across to some good friends of mine whom are at different polys,my stress levels are probably dwarfed by theirs.So thinking back,maybe I shouldnt have made such a big fuss over the stress,because,there's always someone with worser results out there.Stay strong,you guys.

Oh,and before I forget,being hyper,and I really mean hyper,super hyper is great fun.Right,hyper girl?Got me all hyper and I've been struck with hyper-syndrome ever since.Always "HALLO"ing people.tsk tsk.The week need not be summarised any further,because it has been test,after test.And now,the long awaited holidays have arrived.Time to go out there and let my hair down.Cant wait.Cheers!

Emo-coring.

S-T-R-E-S-S.Yup,thats the exact emotion that's filling me at the moment,and it kills.Why stress you ask?Hmm,how about my Common Test coming up,in say,NEXT WEEK!? And adding to that,FOUR papers to sit for? If I was still in SecondarySchool at the moment,probably this would be the norm,but I'm no longer one and I cant believe I have to go through this yet again.

Thankfully,work's beginning to clear out,but the impending term break reeks of "WORK" or should I put it this way,"HOMEWORK".Its indeed a very stressful period for me,and my peers included,thats for sure.But then again,thats life I suppose.If thats the case,then life sucks indeed.Just cant wait till term break arrives,for that'll be the time to just sit back a little more and relax.Not a lot for sure with all the homework coming up,Im sure.

Have you watched "XXXXX"? Or,"XXX"? I get this questions about movies and its really depressing to hear them,for its been centuries since I've managed to catch a movie,its just been the case of so close,yet so far most of the time.Movies like,"The Da Vinci Code","X-Men3",etc,well,has been on my 'to-watch' list ever since they have been advertised.And as always,due to the limited time I have on my hands recently,the chances to catch them are oh-so little.To-do list:Catch movies.

Enough about whining all day long.The countdown to term break has begun,and its a much anticipated wait for it.I really cant wait to chuck that bag of books away and start letting my hair down and have fun,lots of it.The endless outings,hang out sessions,bbqs,chalets,man,the list can go on and on.

Fencing and school alike has been more or less enjoyable,obviously excluding the lectures and tutorials.The clique I hang out with has been a great bunch to be with,days mostly filled with non-stop laughter,or lame antics and jokes.Whew! Been waiting for this day for a long time,and thankfully I've found this clique,or I'll probably be still whining about class now.Well,one less subject to whine about.As for fencing,there's probably no chance in hell I'll ever whine about it,for the great people in it,the fun-filled yet torturous training regime never fails to perk me up.Fantastic stuff.

Well,another week to go,and the next time I update would probably be the time when I've weathered the Common Test storm,and well on my way to enjoying my term break.So,till then,cheers!

Be my escape.

Another eventful week has passed,and basically it has been a real rollercoaster ride so far,with fifth week of school ended.I've never felt so busy before,not even during Secondary school,and now the term "busy" is firmly etched in my mind for good.Work has been flooding in from anywhere and everywhere,and due to the really tight time constraints,Im really finding it hard to even do things i used to enjoy doing,let alone blogging.

The common test's in about a week's time,and Im really beginning to cast doubts over my ability to make it out alive.Not literally of course,but some modules,such as Hydralulics,are just plain killers,with topics I've probably no chance in hell to comprehend.Oh well,thats life for you,you win some,you lose some.Still,every effort will be put in to try and at least get a pass for this module.The thought of repeating the module just shudders me.

Drifting away from the topic of common test,Im pretty glad that a two week break will begin once common test week ends,and its really a huge relief whenever I think of that.Activities have already been lined up,and I can personally say I cant wait for the term break.

Getting settled in school has never felt any more pleasing,as I get more closer to a group of mates,a clique I would call it.Although Im not really for cliques in class,I guess it cant be helped.It definitely beats having known everyone at a precise level,and not on a deeper one.Fencing's been great,moving at a steady pace,and training's been fun yet tiring.Nonetheless,its a good stress reliever,especially when I have a long day,not in the tiring sense,but the frustrating one.

The girl of my life,this is what I've to say,
:I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
I don't need nothin' else
All I need is you
Why don't you just
Stay with me
Why don't you just
Stay with me
Why don't you just
Stay with me
Why don't you just
Stay with me
Enough said.She absolutely makes my day,everyday.Well,thats about it for now.Will get down to some serious blogging soon,I hope.Need some reading therapy plus retail therapy soon as well.Oh well.Cheers!

Give Me Novacaine.

Whew!What a week.work's really starting to pile up,and I really ponder at times whether I have any serious time to actually do this-blogging.The past week's been eventful,so basically one post like this is never going to be enough to sum up everything.
Went for a couple of CCAs to give myself more variety,but deep inside,I just know Fencing's still the one for me.Went for Dancesports on Tues,yes,stop rubbing your eyes already,its no typo error.A person who has two left feet like me actually found it quite enjoyable,but nonetheless,it clashes with Fencing and therefore cant be one of my permanent CCAs.But I wish those in Dancesports well,you've found yourself a fun and interesting CCA.
As always,the bonding with my classmates moving at a snail's pace really,unlike some of my other friends in other courses.I dont know,maybe its just me.But Im praying really hard that it'll start picking up pace and we can be a real bonded class by the end of the semester.(pray,pray?)
Besides the bonding part,third week of school has finally shown the true side of poly life,work,work and more work.Tutorial homework,projects,assignments,etc.They're all flooding in like there's no tomorrow.A break's sorely needed,but nevertheless,the time spent with my campmates really is a sort of therapy really.So here I extend my greatest thanks to you people.Thank you!
Other than that,comes the very first FENCING training session!Nothing beats it,although we havent progressed to handwork where we'll actually be using the sabres and foils,footwork's fun all the same!A very big Fencing fanatic here!Although I must say,the aches are definitely uncalled for.
And after all that about school,its fine to say that Im slowly getting settled down,which is really a good thing.One date to look foward to with utmost anticipation-16thMAY.The day I go get some good reads with Carrie!can't wait,can't wait.Well,thats about it.cheers!

Miles Apart.

Second week of school has offically ended,and it has been quite a rollercoaster ride so far.Fell to the sick bug on the first week as I was stricken with up and down fever temperatures.Thats pretty good evidence of how I'm adapting to poly life so far,which the early lectures,as early as 8am,aren't helping whatsoever.Classes on the first week has been quite the "slack around" or your plain "introductory time",tutorials and practicals cancelled,not bad actually.Bonding with the class itself has been going a little smoothly and yet at the same time,with its bumps along the way.With some asscracks in my class,its not surprising really.
As the second week goes,its definitely going a little better as I get more used to the good ol' early nights and even earlier awakening.Lectures,tutorials,practicals alike have been interesting,although some particular modules require some getting used to.Getting myself a CCA has never felt more pressing than before,as my seniors never stop emphasising on the importance of CCA points.Went through some look-arounds during CCA fiesta,and the school's website,and finally opted for Fencing after some much needed info.Still in the process of deciding whether to join a second CCA,a few clubs are on my mind at the moment.
Went through Fencing Intro Course today and well,it started slowly but WOW! Started the day being introduced to fencing as an evolved sport,all the way from Egyptian times.Boring,but nonetheless,it was pretty obvious when the exciting part was going to begin,and that was first hand experience! got to have a little taste of how training was going to be like,and it just showed me how unfit I've been,and a immenient fitness regime will be required soon.But still,the equipment was cool,but the duelling was even cooler! Fast-paced action all round,well,I'm just eagerly anticipating for the next training session already.FENCING oi!
Feeling really good to get back to what I enjoy doing-blogging,and the really tight schedules have not been helping.Can't wait to get a good read,"The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown has been burning my interest for past weeks,and I can't wait to get my hands on it.And as for the ol' wardrobe,its really high time I get some new additions,lest I get complaints for repetions.Getting a little tired of waking up everyday and thinking of the day's attire.Maybe a school uniform wasn't so bad after all.NOT! till then,cheers!
A little birthday wishes-Eoin,Jasmine and Kenneth:Have an enjoyable 17th birthday and all the best for your future endeavours.cheers.

Hanging by a moment.

Been involved in a very packed schedule recently,thus explaining the low regularity of recent entries.Well,it was a great relief to come off all the busy stuff and just sit down and do one of my favourite pastimes,blogging.
In anycase you're wondering what I've been so busy with,it has got something to do with school starting soon,in fact,its next Mon.yeah,Orientation for my own course.It wasnt the greatest,in fact,I was really wishing that I was back at camp,for the new classmates I have seems just so dead and lifeless.I'm not expecting them to be jumping around like some energizer bunnies,but at the very least,show some enthusiasm?I was praying all day for that to happen,but it just won't.Now classes are not really something I'm looking foward to.But nonetheless,I still hope that things will gradually change,and the class will turn out to be fun and cheerful after all.fingers are crossed,I assure you.
On the other hand,ties with my camp mates have never been better!The outings,endless escapades and fun&laughter never fails to brighten up my day.From my personal point of view,I think I'm gonna end up hanging out more often with my camp mates rather than my class mates.and my sentiments are being echoed by some of my other camp mates as well.Guess this camp hangover is really hard to shake off,huh?Am looking foward to much more outings or just pure hang out sessions.
My laptop's just delivered yesterday,and words cant explain how excited and glad I am that it has finally arrived after such a long period of waiting.But not being a very good computer configurator myself,I'm still trying to comprehend some niggling doubts over some programmes and net connections.Help,anyone?Will really appreciate any helping hand offered.thanks!
Well,its about 2 days till school officially begins,and work will start piling up,assignments to be rushed.Can't wait really,although I'm still a little unsure on how I would be able to adapt to Poly life.CCAs seems like the most important thing at the moment,as I've yet to decide what exactly to join,although fencing looks really interesting.besides that,any other suggestions?Uncertainty's in the air,so,I'll probably add another entry once I'm settled down in school.Till then,cheers!

FOC Camp:TITANS,class of 06/07

Just back not long ago from the mentioned camp above,well,to be exact,its been 2days.been spending the past two days catching up on my rest really.Camp's been great,I couldnt ask for more,no regrets whatsoever.And the friends made during camp was definitely remembered,never forgotten.
As the days of camp passes on,well,in a way,it just got better and better.and that I was greatful for,as Day One of camp wasnt really up to expectations,with plenty of screw-ups,but nevertheless,Day Two and so forth till the last day was just plain superb.Those whom took the chance to actually book out of camp,well,I'm sure you missed out on all the fun and laughter.The non-stop cheering almost took my voice away,but in anycase,if that happened,it was worth it.
To GLs-Vernon,Max,Jean,Tommy,Crystal,Jasmine,Kid,Syaz and Raymond.You guys definitely lived up to your "loudest" GLs tag,and it was an great experience with you people as our leaders.Inspirational?check.Motivational?check.Fun-loving?check as well.Indeed,the times spent together throughout the four days was definitely unforgettable.Especially during the times when funny cheers were conjured up,like the "Tammy" cheer?
Well,its always nice to come away from all the stress and problems faced everyday and sit down and reflect on the good ol' times.And as the chapter of this FOC camp closes,another's about to begin while I look foward to next week's orientation with my course.Another event to look foward to.Meanwhile,I'll just stick to the usual gatherings and just hang out.till then,cheers!

S for Stenographer.
Your IQ score is 118!
You are equipped with a verbal arsenal that enables you to understand complex issues and communicate on a particularly high level, making you a Word Warrior. Your command of words is so powerful that you are also a terrific communicator -- able to articulate big ideas to just about anyone. The power of words translates to fresh ideas off paper too, in both artistic and creative pursuits. This allows you to be a visionary -- to extrapolate and come up with a multitude of fresh ideas.
Well,just to add in a little short entry today,took a IQ test over at Kian's blog,and that's the score I ended up with.Seems rather accurate I suppose,I've gotta admit-I'm definitely more at home with words than numbers.But to articulate big ideas?It remains to be seen.Well,if you're bored at home with nothing other than housework keeping you company,this interesting test would be a good option.till then,cheers!

Let it all out.

"Remember,remember,the 5th of November."Just one of the interesting phrases heard in the movie,"V for Vendetta."Went to watch it over at Cineleisure with some good buddies of mine,and I guess this time,the $7bucks spent wasnt wasted after all.The movie proved to be a witty and eloquent,yet with its fair share of political and violent messages throughout.Definitely a must-watch if you're looking foward to a movie.I would personally give it a 4/5 star rating.Don't miss it for the world.

Saying that,its a great relief to find out that the political problems over at Thailand,over the refusal of PM Thaksin to step down.But finally,it all ended yesterday,as he offically offered to step down,and thus ending the endless riots.

Ending that,it comes to my mind how some Singaporeans are just so willing to get their jobs done in any possible way.even in the way of irritating people with their poor command of the English language,talking in a smattering dose of Chee-na and Engrish."Please comes in your team of five."This sentence itself is just one of the many examples I've encountered while walking on the busy streets of Orchard.I'm not trying to say that I'm a master of the English language,but for everyone's sake,I seriously think this bunch of "promoters" should brush up on their English before going public and having speech day.

With all that said,I'm pretty glad to see that the media is finally loosening the stranglehold on the topic teens.I'll hate to enter in another debate in teenage politics.Kian'll understand that.And as far as class outings go,I think I've enough of it.Since there're selfish and inconsiderate individuals out there who would be there to sabotage the whole event,why bother really?Enough about this.Absolutely pointless.Well,I'll end here.cheers!

Recommendation of the day-Feeling hungry?a little bored of the local dishes?Then I'll suggest a trip to Far East Plaza's Turkish restaurant.The food's not the best,but neither is it the worst.A good choice if you're looking for something different.

Not Now.

Its been going on for a while now,and the topic "teens" just about is on everyone's lips or minds at the moment.The 11pm curfew,"Tammy" saga,teens going "over-rebellious",etc.It seems the spotlights' on us now,ain't it?Each has his own opinions,and so do I.
Walking down the busy and crowded street in Orchard on a typical weekend,exposes my eyes,and not forgetting my ears as well,to what actually comes out of a teen's mouth.sentences laden with nothing but expletives,making 50cent sound like an amateur.Cigarettes or some drugs light up their lives,instead of the good ol' reading or great music.Saying that,I do admit myself that I'm no stranger to explicit language,being guilty of using them at times.But heck,I sure don't use it as though its part of my vocabulary or even worst,use it as though its the only language I know.Of course,nothing beats getting myself addicted to not only cigarettes,but drugs.How the mind of a teen nowadays work really baffles me at times.It leaves me not only flabbergasted,but upset at the same time.This is the future of S'pore,and if I'm a foreigner assessing the situation at the moment,I'll say it'll be soon to do some invading.
But instead of salvaging the current bleak situation,the 11pm curfew imposed and the endless highlights on how low the futures of teens are going is just making everything worse.The curfew,especially,is just plain ridiculous.Imagine a teen,after going through a rigourous day in school all the way till nightfall,looking foward to a good supper with pals to chill,only to get themselves into trouble just because they're outside after 11pm.Isn't that uncalled for?
Teens are so sterotyped nowadays,I personally feel no different from a criminal just fresh out from jail.Isn't that what curfews are for?To make sure these criminals get home by a designated time?I rest my case.
And as I move away from all the seriousness,the week's been pretty laid back,as the wait continues for the impending start of school term.Been trying to get a good read,but the papers are all I've got at the moment.Yesterday was 'supposedly' a class gathering,but the eventual turnout was such a massive disappointment I don't even want to talk about it anymore.That's really the final straw.What's the point of organising gatherings when there are going to be tons of others who are not going to appreciate the effort put in?Enough said.and enough of "class gatherings".That's about it I suppose.cheers!

Words,Hands,Hearts.

Schedule's been tight,and that explains the rare sights of my latest entries.The past week's been laden with endless attempts at job-hunting,frequent visits to poly,and the very special podcast recording over at Kian's place.it has been quite an eventful week,filled with plenty of priceless moments I wouldnt exchange anything for.
The uncountable times spent on job-hunting has definitely hit home.time's running out,as I look over at the coming weeks' committments,like camps,orientation and school finally starting.And as things go,I guess I'm stuck with the unwanted decision to only get a job proper when school begins.The current financial straits my family's going through obviously isnt helping.oh well,life must go on.
Although I've not been 'officially' tagged as a NP student,I already daresay I feel like one,with the almost daily trips to the poly.Be it for camp registration purposes,laptop enquiries or financial enquiries.Of course,the regularity of those visits sure helped me to familiarise myself more to the school and it'll definitely help to enable me to adapt to poly life faster.And yes,this dreary existence in life is just making me more impatient for school to start.I can't wait.
Lastly,the great overnight stay at Kian's really enabled me to understand more of the word "nocturnal",as we battled fatigue to do our recording.This little get-together really was a meaningful one,as we literally found out a little more about each other.And the recording was absolutely brilliant,filled with limitless fun and laughter,so if you're invited to a recording in future,dont give this chance a miss.To really find out more about this podcast,hop over to Kian's blog and listen to it,the episodes just get better and better.
Another week is about to come to an end,and I'm really hoping for more gatherings before school starts,be it class ones or just a typical friends' get-together.leave me a message and I'll be more or less available.till then,cheers!
Recommendation of the day-I should have put this up long ago,if you're feeling listless or just pure depressed,go over to Kian's blog and listen to their podcasts.If it doesnt crack you up,I dont know what will.

Life belts me up the side of the head once again.

Well,the long wait has finally been over!in case you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about,its none other than the registration package from NP.listening to friends going to the likes of SP,TP,etc. get their packages earlier made me so impatient for mine.and well,I'm glad to say,the wait's over.Although I must say,I'm pretty surprised at the amount of documents required to be done,as compared to my friends over at the other polys,its amount is actually dwarfed by the other polys.in fact,instead of filling in my personal particulars,medical history,etc. in hard copy,I only need to do that online.talk about conveniences.
Still on the terrible trail of job-hunting,and the past week,has,unfortunately,been rather unsuccessful.I'm just so sick of going back to hearing the same old answer,"Oh,we thank you for your application and will call you as soon as your application's successful.".Damn.quite ridiculous dont't you think?when another,and this really tops everything,says,"We will definitely call you,because we understand how you feel when people dont't honour their words.".how nicely said.up to now?no calls.I rest my case.
However,it was definitely great to get a little sun out there today.played soccer with some mates,and hell,the body's showing it,signs of long lost fitness.already panting like a dog just halfway through the game.I need the fitness and tan back!
Well,guess I'll end here.cheerios!

Whenever i feel as though i've hit the bottom,someone throws me a shovel.

Its pretty darn late now,but with the new blogskin on(with the immense help of Yonghua),I just feel that a entry had to be in.As seen above in my title today,it has'nt been a smooth-sailing time for me at the moment.but I dont really want to elaborate further on it,in case I'm accused of whining all day long of my greviances.
After taking a look at my bud Scott's latest entry,I guess a tribute made to my close friends and buddies for the past 4 years and counting,well,should be immenient.so without further delays,lets begin,shall we?
It has been quite some 4years spent at BPS,I must say,filled with uncountable incidents filled with laughter,fun,and plenty of strong friendships forged.
to Kenneth Chen-man,its been what?4years already?it just seems so yesterday when I first took the iniative to say a "Hi",which therefore began our friendship.we've probably gone through whatever kinds of little quarrels and fights friends experience.hell,even whatever Best Friends have experienced.and here we are,our friendship holding strong,and I'm pretty proud and glad to have you as a buddy of mine.Your contagious laughter never fail to lighten up anyone's day.and I mean it.and of course,all the crap and troubles we got ourselves into were loaded with the word,"fun".that's for sure.
to Eoin-ok,maybe it wasnt 4years for us,but then again,the 2years we spent were as good as the longer 4years.your immense maturity,well,we wouldnt call you "BOSS" for nothing now,would we?has been a really great characteristic of yours which helped me solve countless dilemmas,not to mention a great sense of humour,which helps to lighten up tense or boring situations.and finally,what more about your English?I think enough have been said about it.just this phrase from a teacher of mine will do."your english's at least a university standard one."
to Scott-bro,3 years huh?could still remember the first time you stepped into 2e4,looking a little "blur" before settling down on your seat.the next thing I knew,we were already deep in conversation as though we were some long lost friends.the good ol' long conversations regarding almost anything under the sun,were,in a way,special.it'll probably be embedded in my mind for a long time to come.
to Yonghua-your smile never fails to light up a person's day.we shared some good secrets,but plenty of banter as well.trading advices to each other seems to be the norm,and I really appreciate it when you lend a listening ear to my troubles.THANKS!hahs.
to Riyani-sitting beside you for the past 2 years have taught me plenty on what is it like to be a foreign student,and a rich one at that.hahs.your undeniable artistic talent during art lessons never fail to amaze me.what more can I say?and of course,when you and Anthony starts going on in your Indonesian conversation,I guess my puzzled looks will always make the both of you laugh.
to Jens-same primary school,same secondary school,and now,same poly and same course!when will concidences ever cease?well,I guess it has been a great time having you as a friend,whenever your laughter begins,it normally starts a chain reaction.and when it comes to skating,well,here is a guy whose skills bar none.dont ever try to compete with him.you'll be thrashed beyond recongition.hahs.and of course,the TNT adventures we had?would love to relive them again.
I'm beginning to sound naggy,so if I did miss out on anyone else,you're definitely not forgotten.only always remembered.and so as I end off my entry here,I would like to give my overdue thanks to the teachers of mine for the past 4years,friends and buddies included.cheers!
Recommendation of the day-if you're into tech and gadgets,do not give the IT fair at Suntec a miss!its till this Sun,12/03.its bargains galore,so dont miss it!

We can only do it for the scars and stories,not the fame.

"What course did you go to?","What poly did you go to?","Did you make it to the poly?".just some of the dozen questions I had to answer yesterday as the JAE results were out.some went as early as 7:20am to check the results,as for myself,due to the eccentric nature of my computer,had to shuttle over to a nearby friend's place.On the bright side,well,yeah,I managed to get myself to a poly,at NP,some architecture course,which just happens to be my 8th choice.on the darker side,just witnessing some really good and close pals of mine whom didnt make it,just makes the whole thing not worth celebrating at all.
In fact,I was just as down as the ones whom didnt make it.I can almost feel their disappointments.so with that in mind,headed over to RP with a friend to make his appeal through Dae.what I didnt expect was to watch in shock as the place began filling up.I seriously didnt believe the amount was that great.I would be heading down to the other polys along with friends to continue the Dae process,which I myself would probably be giving a try as well,because on the happy note,yes,I did make it into the poly,but again,it wasnt what I really wanted,so instead,I would be appealing for a course that I would be more looking foward to.
On a more happier note,I've been feeling what it's like to be unemployed for the past few days,and it hasnt been too bad.Caught a movie with Ken,Kian and Eoin on Wed,the movie was "Final Destination 3."the death scenes was pretty graphic,but overall,the movie was really dampened by the poor ending.I would personally give it a 6/10 rating.unfortunately,as Kian's blog testifys to that,a idiotic fool had to be right in front of us during the movie,which ruined our mood further with his stupid antics,like covering his eyes during the death scenes,only to shout loudly,"Was it scary?".go watch "Chicken Little",lah,I think the cartoon character has more guts than you do.But it was nice to have a little time to catch up with each other.definitely something I wouldnt want to give it a miss.hopefully there'll be more to come.hahs.
As I end today's entry,I would like to wish those who are appealing(myself included)all the best and best of luck with the appeals.Everyone of you deserves to be in a poly.And let's hope I'll be able to get myself a job soon.hahs.
Recommendation of the day-if you're thinking of catching a movie,instead of "Final Destination 3",I would suggest catching movies like "Munich","Syriana",they're value for money.

Sophmore slump or comeback of the year?

Been some time since I last blogged,well,what'ya expect?nothing to actually motivate me to do so,so.yeah.but looking at the last date I last blogged,I dont want to give the indication that the blog's dead.hahs.
Well,work's been going fine,but it's gotta end someday,and that particular someday just happens to be next tues.drats?nah,in fact,I'm really glad to have a little break off.let's just see,I've been slogging my ass off for probably the past 3months,so a little break is'nt too much to ask for,is it?besides,I'm really starting to get sick of the robotic routine almost every mon to fri.I need a life you know?But,saying that,I'll probably be on the lookout for another job after tues.hey,does'nt that mean I've been contradicting myself?ohh well,what the heck.A higher level of education's on the way and hell,it ain't cheap.so I'll need to get all the money I can get my hands on.hate living off my parents like some wastrel.enough said.
As for the typical weekend outings with friends and family alike,well,it's been going well,I probably could'nt ask for more.It was nice to hang out with an or rather,both overseas buddies the week before,to "update" on each other's lives.Although for some mates,it has been quite awhile since we last met up,so let's hope a meeting,say,for lunch or a movie,would be on the cards.well,let's hope.
March,03,Friday.looks familiar?now think.why would this fella be talking about this particular day?what's so special about it?well,in case you've forgotten,it happens to be JAE results day,which means those O levels graduates are going to find out which particular course in which particular poly they will be going to.Another date to remember in my phone organizer.
As of 22nd of Feb,Wed,the nation came to know of the unfortunate passing on of the late Mr Rajaratnam,whom I must admit,caused quite a surprise in me when I found out he was the creator of the National Pledge.now I'll look at the pledge in a different light,that of pride and respect.Learning more of his contributions in the past through the papers just made me even more in awe of him,and indeed,the nation has lost a very important figure in the political world.Rest in peace,Mr Rajaratnam.
Well,as I end off my entry here,would like to sound out to the people out there,any great blogskins to recommend?this one's getting a little old and bland,so I would appreciate any help offered.and yes,I've tried looking in Blogskins-it was'nt much.thanks.
Recommendation of the day-get your hands on the latest Yellowcard album,they really sound great.

I must be pretty crazy to be blogging at this time,for your info,its 12midnight at the moment and I have work tomorrow morning bright 'n early.but anyways,D-Day's over,and its definitely a huge relief off my already over pressurized chest.hahs.
The results I've achieved wasnt what I've expected,in both good and bad terms.lets begin with the good side,shall we?guess what?Yours truly actually made it pass Maths!yes,you can stop rubbing your eyes because they arent playing tricks on you,I've passed my Maths!the elation and absolute happiness in me back then was just plain undescribable.of course,the ol' saying that goes"all good things come to an end",definitely came true in my case.failed my Art,although not miserably(thank god).but,heck,its still a darn failing grade I got.and it was suppose to be one of those non-failable(if there's such a word)subjects.damn.
Well.so much for the anxiety and fear I've accumulated over the days.gone just like that.not that I care for that though.
And after all the jubilation and excitement at each others' aggregate points,comes the dilemma probably everyone is currently facing now till this Wed.which is obviously,the choosing of the courses.what are you going to do in future?is your interest going to get you a job in future?or do you let your interest aside and let practical courses take over your decision?well,for me,the equation is just plain simple.NO INTEREST=NOT CHOSEN.I mean,what's the point of forcing yourself to study a course you have absolutely no interest in for 3 long years?well,that's my personal opinion.and I believe its a fact.isnt it?I've probably studied for 10years,being forced to,thats more like it.and I know that enough is enough.no more being forced to study subjects you just simply hate,no more pressure of getting a pass for a subject you suck at.that's what you're gonna decide for the next 3 years of your education.
Well,my dilemma's solved today.rather,tonight.while I've seen others still struggling to make their 12 choices,which I admit,is seriously the next toughest thing to sitting for the "O"s.so to all those whom have not submitted your applications yet,take your time.seriously.you're making a decision that is going to affect your future.so choose wisely and whole heartedly.
Guess that's about all,and a Happy Valentines' to every couple out there.enjoy it while it lasts.the day i mean.hahs.tc.

My hands are trembling as i type this entry.jeez.how can i not?the countdown has already begun,and its just less than 24hours before the time where the anticipated yet dreaded "O"s results are going to be handed out to each and every "O" level student.the past few days have just been plain horrible for the likes of me.
ONE-the confirmation of the release of the results,which falls on the 10th(tomorrow).now as if the usual date of end Feb wasnt fast enough,they had to pull it all the way to early Feb.just great,i thought.but the immense fear of facing the music just didnt agree well with my body.
TWO-prior to today,suffered from a very severe case of fever,sore throat and flu.(my parents blaming it all on the fear i was suffering from.)well,thankfully,managed to recover within a day.just glad,really.
It wasnt entirely a bad week i had.there was still the good ol' class gathering i had last SAT,which i wouldnt say,has been a complete success.but who could we blame?it was probably a little too "last minute".but then again,we still had a good bout of banter which was a long lost activity,and we used it well to catch up with each others' lives.prior to the gathering,an impromptu visit was made to NP,where i tried to get as much info in the shortest time possible since we were in a rush.got the info i wanted,but seriously,everything hinges on the results tomorrow.and i mean EVERYTHING.
Well,guess i'll be spending this fateful night with my mind filled up with wild thoughts and more wild thoughts.to the good friends of mine out there receiving the results tomorrow,best of luck and all the best.well i probably need it more than you all anyway.hahs.tc.

What a joke.what a GREAT CNY i had.read:im being sarcastic.well,tis' may not be the season to be jolly,but still,isnt it a time to evoke those hidden feelings of togetherness and happiness?how wrongly it went for me.but seriously,it wasnt THAT horrible.hah.got you in the first few lines didnt i?
Its been quite an eventful few days of CNY for me,as i get to experience what it is like to be a proper Chinese once again.the good ol' reunion dinner,held at my grandparents' place,was filled with endless banter,as we start our annual 'updating' of each other.for the few cousins i have not seen for the past year,its been great to see them again,and catch up on some good ol' times spent during our childhood days.ahh.those were the days.when we would run around and make plenty of noise till our parents were screaming at the top of their lungs.hahs.now its just the sitting around the table in my uncle's room for our banter.great really.
Day One-went house visiting,and the first stop's at my grandparents.wished the usual "Xin Nian Kuai Le".and of course,the most beautiful "red" object during this period of celebration,the "Ang Bao" went straight into my pockets.hah.after that,went over to great-grandma's,and boy,was it jam-packed.
Went over to my dad's friend's place the next day,it was a bore to be there.just imagine of being in a place where there's almost no one to talk to other than your mum and you'll get what im trying to say.
That about sums up my CNY.not that great in people's eyes,but the reunion dinner and the events of Day One more than makes up for it.prior to CNY,paid a visit to Dear at her workplace.havent seen her for awhile.was really happy to see her and talked for awhile while she worked.hah.feel kinda bad doing that.but it was still a nice conversation,though short.
Well,that more or less sums up my entry for today.and classmates of mine,4E3,who happened to be reading this blog of mine,a gathering would be on the cards,so please make yourself free.thanks.tc.

Two weeks to go.thats how much time's left for the likes of "O"levels students to actually enjoy themselves before D-Day itself arrives.how fast.but i think i've been saying that for as long as i remember.well,enough about that.i can already hear Eoin saying "Shut up".hahs.have been going through some tough times,probably one of the toughest i've ever experienced.but thanks to the continuing concern and support of my friends and close ones,i have been to get by it without being overly affected.i extend my extreme gratitude and thanks to those whom helped me through this,you deserve it.and i would like also to leave a message here to those who are also going through some horrible or miserable period of their lives-Dont dwell too much on the past.if you need,look for a good listening ear.it helps.trust me.that's how i managed to solve my problem.-On a happier note,the impending arrival of CNY just manages to stir a little bit of excitment in me as i would be getting the chance to meet up with some cousins of mine whom i've not seen or contacted for the past year.my current job's serving me well also,although it's starting to take a bit of a toll on my body.so in a way,2006 is starting to look that bit brighter ahead.lets hope its for real.anyway,the committment committed to the job has taken much valuble time which could have been spent on meeting up with some good pals of mine.hopefully chances will arise soon,or a proper class gathering before D-Day would certainly be a great idea.that is,if only someone could take the iniative.hahs.hmm.lets just say that would be all for today's entry.to all my Chinese mates out there,have an enjoyable and "ang-bao" laden CNY.tc.

Hey there!it has been a little while since i last blogged,so i suppose there are plenty of stuff to update about.indeed i have.lets look at a summary of what were the highlights for the past weeks.not to mention,its been quite a mixture of feelings for myself for e past week really.well,lets not dwell on the past for the moment.the summary goes like this
-getting myself a new phone.
-getting myself a new job.
-making sure my ears and eyes werent disabled when i heard about the earlier release dates of the dreaded 'O's.
-getting myself to accept the fact that a good teacher of mine,although not close,actually passed away suddenly on Sun 8th Jan.
-trying to comprehend what the hell went wrong with the relationship i had with someone close.
thats about all i can remember at the moment.but the last two points are really putting me at the lowest ebb of my life.one of the worst moments i ever have to endure in my entire life.i would like to pay a tribute to my POA(Pricinples of Accounts)teacher,Mr David Lee.
-Although it has only been two years,my respect for you has accumulated over the years with your overpowering determination and devotion to Accounting.it has struck me the lengths you would go to so as to make sure that every single important detail of the subject would be etched in our minds for good."Left,Debit,Right,Credit.A,P,R,I,D,E."these are just some of the very basics you put so much effort in to make sure we remember it by repeating it all the time.With all that being said,it would end this short tribute to Mr Lee,God bless you and rest in peace.
Well.enough about all the whining.no point for all that.on a happier note,im glad to say that i've got a new job and its been great so far,definitely many times better than the previous one where i have been lamblasting about in my last post.and i've finally felt the feeling of satisfaction of using your OWN money to get something you want.something i hope to experience for more times to come.well,i guess thats all about it.will update more frequently i hope.tc.

Another month has passed.the year is approaching its end and i have to say that this was a year filled with plenty of joy laughter but not forgetting disappointment and sadness.
Havent been blogging as much as i used to,due to work commitments.time spent with friends have dwindled to almost zero and its kind of depressing to say the least.having to put up with overbearing managers and irritating colleagues just doesnt make it any better.the pathetic pay just makes me look like a complete idiot.but for the sake of that money that i need so much,putting up with all this crap will have to do for the time being.and its probably going to end soon.real soon.because a new job offer has just arisen and im going to grab it with both hands.this time.
Enough about that.a month has passed since the last proper gathering of classes which is none other than Prom Night itself.it was a night filled with lots of laughter and fun,in fact,my class 4E3 can attest to that the most.right?those at the event will know what im talking about.hahs.lots of pictures were taken as memento and they will definitely stay in my mind for a long time.the some 4years,3years,2years of friendships will definitely be remembered.
Lastly before i end off this entry,i'll like to give my thanks to friends whom gave Christmas well wishes to me,and i'll like to wish them back all the same.and also,to wish all my friends a enjoyable upcoming New Year.

"Wooo!""clap!clap!",these are just some of the sights and sounds you would encounter when the invigilator announced the end of the last paper yesterday.what joy!what freedom!well,yes,the "O"levels are officially over,and im just one of the many whom have been waiting for this day ever since i stepped foot into secondary school life.

Been a hectic past few months,and im sure glad that all the hard work being put in by students and teachers alike have paid off,or well,maybe in my case.one major event down,the next to look foward to would definitely be this Friday's Graduation Dinner,or in my terms,the Prom Night.spent the whole of today scouting probably the whole of S'pore for clothes,and at the end of the day,am pretty satisfied with what i've got for myself.the anticipation is ever growing,im even having problems sleeping nowadays.but heck,whoever isnt excited at the prospect of dressing up to your fullest and at the same time gawking or being the centre of attention,well,you might as well forgo the whole trip.of course,the whole purpose of the Prom Night isnt just all that.its a whole lot more than that.

As for life after Prom,its definitely lots of appointments,and the magical "j" word.a job.that would be the main objective,then followed by the many appointments such as meeting up with old mates,chalets and etc.well,you just have to enjoy your life till D day come next year,so why not?so,thats about all i have to say for now.till the next time,tc.

"Till the next time".This probably depicts what almost everyone would be saying this Friday during the annual Graduation Ceremony.how time flies.and it just so happened that this year flew by the fastest.im sure many would agree.the year is almost up,and the impending "O"s just look ever so close.haven't been blogging due to my heavy schedules with remedials and stuff,like on Monday,where we had to hand up our "O" level Art coursework to a exam centre situated near Queenstown.it was definitely a huge load off our shoulders,after the long periods spent on it.lets hope everyone's work will turn out fine,and achieving what they deserve.

The countdown began long ago,and sometimes it just freaks me out at how fast time is passing by.just think,Tomorrow's our "O" level Sci Practical.went through some last minute revision with our teacher today and i thank her for her continued patience and guidance.speaking of that,Maths had been on the agenda for the past weeks,and im pretty glad to say its helping,and hopefully the desired passing grade of C would be attainable,which would thereby really make alot of people happy and glad.But what's more immediate would be that of the Practical tomorrow,and heavy mugging would hopefully help to clarify more doubts after the revision session in the morning.

Been reminding my buds about how soon the first paper is actually arriving,to let them know the severity of the exams,and it just,well,freaks everyone out.time's running out.but with proper time management and schedules,we will hopefully make it through.hence,i guess i would end this post "O" level entry here.but with a slight reminder to everyone out there taking this Major deciding factor of our lives:The final hurdle is already within sight,so dont give up now,because a little more effort is what you need to make it to the finish line.With that said,good luck and all the best to everyone taking their "O"s.

Hmm.descriptives are just unable to describe how Today has gone by.but i have to say that it has actually gone pretty well.better start looking out for flying pigs,because im actually not having a screwed up day.cheers!

Unexpected it really is today.it all began during Eng.happened to be results day,and i was just so sure i was going to get a grade of the C region.ohh,how fate loves to spring surprises at the right moments.when i trotted up to get my results,i actually got a B.not bad.considering how badly i fared in my Paper2.wow.hit me when i least expected it.for real.Next up on the list was my Hist.needed just one more mark to get my desired Agrade.and i just dont understand what is wrong today,i actually got awarded an extra 3marks.now thats shocking.left me pretty much speechless,and really left me smiling ear to ear.an unexpected turn of events for sure.well.,at least now i have a Agrade after all the disappointments.

Migration was the topic of the day again as we discussed about it during Hist.countries like Britain,Holland,Australia(but of course),America.well,the list goes on.well,i just cant wait to migrate.why,you ask?the reason's simple.-i want a laid back life.not some life why i get so stressed up to the point of going nuts.no.thats just not me.

Mock Exams are just a week away,and this week's been littered with plenty of appointments,remedials.its a mad rush really.Mugging has been on the full swing,and lets hope the desired effect will take place.well,thats about all.let me take this moment to wish everyone all the best for the Mock Exams next week.ending here.

BAD.that probably sums up the past two days.first time im using red fonts,so you can see how dire the situation is for me at the moment.its freaking BAD.got almost all my Prelims results back.and sad to say.im so damn disappointed.so far,i've only seen Bs and lower.no As.wow.im in so much crap now.

Subjects that i've been looking foward to get my results from have come back with very,very disappointing results.on the other hand,POA proved to be a surprise grade as i was expecting something lower.but thats the end of the happy story.now begins the sickening part.most sickening of all has to go to the likes of my Eng & SS.my grades has taken such a HUGE fall,im beginning to doubt my ability to do properly for the impending 'O's.Maths?dont even talk about it.i think its about time i do a quarantine on myself.lock myself up and keep no further contact with the outside world.i wonder?the results have not finished their killer blows,and expected killer blows are to come tomorrow,which will probably ruin my mood for the entire week.enough said.

News nowadays have been portrayed in reports such as racism,discrimination,sterotyping,etc,in blogs of students.if these individuals have been really guilty of such acts,i believe their punishments will be rightly deserved.however,i would like to stake my claim here that i've nothing against the different races.im absolutely against racism.

With that all said,i think my frequency of blogging now will probably go down a lot.but it ain't surprising considering the results i've achieved.i've got to start bucking up and rolling up my sleeves if i want to leave the school next year with a smile on my face.so till then,i'll try to blog as often as i can.

Finally.the much dreaded Prelims is over.the wait was long and suffering.but heck,it was worth it.as we wheel away to "celebrate" the end of Prelims,we face yet another much more daunting prospect.and my friend wouldnt have put it more aptly."as we're done with this level of hell,lets get ready for the next level."how true it must be.the last papers were settled by today,and thankfully,probably due to the blessings from that sweet girl,Mat,i was able to do the Sci MCQ without too much difficulty.thank heavens.at least it wasnt screwed up as the other papers i must say.

Happened to have a Chinese 'O' level pre-test today as well.paper wasnt as tough as what many of us have expected.but i still left out quite an amount of marks.well,its chinese after all.no offence,but i hate it.Proceeded to have lunch with the usual bunch,and nothing out of the ordinary happened.but still managed to find out that a close friend's relatives are migrating to Australia.yes,the land where the laid back lifestyle is actually ever present.was saying tongue in cheek to him,telling him to ask his relatives to bring me along with them.crap.had always been harbouring the thought of migrating there.and that thought is still alive.well,people need dreams and aspirations to keep them going,dont they?

Got to somewhere near my place for some much needed exercise.played soccer,which is a sport that actually seemed foreign to me for a while.well,the ol'legs have'nt been moving too much,but soccer was just the right tonic.also managed to kill off some inner demons in me.stress that is.after all the continuous mugging and endless formulas,de-stressing was high up on the list.

But stress,would be in me for the next few days,weeks.as i prepare myself to face those fluncuating results.crap.ohh well.thats all for today's story.till the next time.tc.

Managed to squeeze a little time here to blog today.wow.what a week.although its not over,its impression is lasting enough.mostly screwed up.well,whats new?hmm.just wanna have a quick post before making my way to the study room to cram on my POA.for your info,the dreaded Prelims aint over yet.

Mon and Tues.Had my humanities papers the past two days.as well as Physics and Maths paper 1.Humanities thankfully,didnt prove to as tough as i've imagined.so the elusive A grade is still very much attainable.hopefully.the other two papers?forget it.only have one word to describe it.SCREWED.damn.enough said.

Today happened to be both our Chemistry & Maths paper 2.dont wanna talk about maths.its really screwed.always screwed i should say.Chem proved to be like what was on everyone's lips,"it was much easier than Mid Year.".got the hint.same goes for me.and amazingly,it would probably be my Chem pulling my Phy marks up.for the first time.so naturally i was a little emotional.took it out on a few of the guys.Sorry dudes.you just cant imagine the feeling i felt when i compared my answers with the "smarties".contrasting to a large extent.damn.at least it was a little burden off my shoulders after today.whats left:POA,Art,Sci MCQ.lets hope the screwed up days will lessen.otherwise i'll probably have to kill myself or something.lol.guess i'll end it here.let the prayers begin.hah.

What a stupid day.normally my days would be screwed,but today happens to be more screwed than usual.damn.im getting sick of this shit already.

Lets see.began the day by getting a severe cramp in my leg when i woke up.nearly blacked out i think.what a way to begin your day huh.the day just proceeded on to get worse.

Got back my MT results back today.wow.guess what i got.its another C5.its as stagnant as the waters containing those mosquito larve.fuck.well i guess i shouldnt complain too much perhaps.at least i didnt get a notch lower like some others.so,in a way.but its still screwed.fucking screwed.thought that was the worst of the day.how wrong can i be.

How wrong did i get?well.when we were having our relief period during Physics,halfway through we had to shift from the hall to the library for some fucked up reason which really bewilders me.got to the library,waited a good 15mins outside it just because they had to check whether we were supposed to be there.man.that was really the boiling point.why the heck must we be sent to the library if the librarian doesnt even know about our arrival in the first place?fuck.really ruined my mood for the rest of the day.

Been really a screwed up day.dont know what else to say.lets close this chapter for today.

The countdown has begun.barely a week left before Prelims "officially" starts.damn.been thinking.its about time i stop posting about boring lessons.because the fact is IT is Boring.ohh well.now and for good i'll blog about stuff worth blogging about.thats better.

Recess was particularly interesting today as we sat around and talked about our Future.yup you didnt see wrongly.it was on our future.something like 10years down the road what would we be doing and stuffs like that.had us really thinking.what would we be 10years down the road?a successful person?or a loser that is jobless?the thought of the latter just shudders me up.cant imagine and dont want to imagine me being the latter.simply cant let that happen.we discussed and among us we see a few musicians,sailors(or is it sailor instead?hah.),lawyers,DJs.the list just goes on and on.and im sure they'll achieve their futures.for sure.hah.

Maths was actually great today.well,before you say,"Samuel likes Maths?".chill.i wasnt talking about the lesson.Maths will always be a pain in the neck and a bore for me.it was rather the 1hr plus talk i had with this fellow classmate.same class for like 1yr and 9months.but after the talk,i've actually know more about this guy than i've know about him in the past 1yr plus.hah.always loved listening to other people's life stories.never fails to bore me and shock me.for sure.

Been suffering from a bad case of flu since yesterday.damn.must the stress.last thing i need really.to get sick and all.feeling so tired.but when i lie on my bed my eyes just cant seem to close.what the hell.who knows before i even got to the prelims,i'll collapse and die?hmm.not bad.lol.just kidding.well.guess i'll end here.tc all.chill.

Another week has passed,and the exams are just looking to be getting closer and closer.damn.well,last week was such a bore,didnt have much to blog about.mugging so hard now im on the very verge of insanity.lol.sometimes wish i can give it all up.but the price's too high isnt it?hah.oh well.lets quickly begin on Today,my English Prelims.

It was pretty ok,i guess.Paper 1's situational writing proved to be a major stumbling block for many of us,including me,as i stared dumbfounded at the question.lol.lets hope i'll be able to scrap through on that part.chose a pretty easy topic for compo,so a little more confident in that part.lets all pray hard.hah.Paper 2 was a killer.questions on the passages were fine,but it was the darn summary which proved to a real killer question.had so many points that i ended up cutting more than i should be.lets just say it wasnt a good day for english.lol.but the usual A1 students will be getting it again im pretty sure.you know who you are.hah.

Went over to Queensway to get something and to de-stress.needed it after the energy sapping english paper.didnt really managed to get what i wanted,walked around abit,and saw lots of stuff i really want to get.damn i cant wait for Prom Night.hopefully i can get a high budget to get my apparel and all.already made a pact with Ken to get our clothes at Queensway.hah.whoa.think im really thinking too much about Prom.darn.just cant wait for everything to end.seriously.the stress's taking my life i tell you.maybe i can sleep forever?like in death?now that would be interesting.lol.ohh what the heck.guess i'll end here.pretty short post.but seriously nothing much to blog about.will blog soon.tc.

Let's count thy days that i've missed blogging.hmm.4days?hahs.what the heck.nothing much to blog about really.well.guess i'll focus on Friday and Today.

Friday.well.it was the start of our Prelims,and our first paper was none other than the 2nd subject i fear the most-Mother Tongue.damn.guess the essay writing was quite ok.i guess.lol.but paper2 was a darn Killer.and i mean damn killer.tough it was.but hopefully i'll be able to pull off at least a pass?not very optimistic i know.but my chinese's really bad now.the only people i speak that language to is my grandparents.i think thats about 1%of what i produce out of my mouth?hah.lets pray that i'll be able to pass this one.hah.but one thing-it was nice to get the exam stress back.seriously.its been awhile since the last major exam.so.in a way its nice to get the exam mentality back.really nice.hah.after the demoralising exam,went over to Ken's crib to chill.man it was like a mini party.about 6 of us?the house was filled with endless laughter and a little snoring.no names mentioned.hah.stayed there for a rather long time.was slacking all the way.lol.

Today was the start of our one week holidays.wait.What Holidays?today happens to mark the first day of our remediation programme.-STAR Programme.how nice isnt it?its on till Thurs,but one other class has to come back even on Friday.thank god im not in that class.lol.English and Physics was on today's menu.went ok.at least it wasnt BORING.day passed rather quickly.thankfully.went to have lunch with the usual bunch.then for the records,went over to Ken's again.hah.just to good a place to miss right Scott?hah.too much.but well.chilled around for awhile before making my way home.its gonna be a really boring and tiring and stressful week for us.thought that holidays were supposed to be relaxing and soothing?think again.

Well.let me dedicate this small portion to my bud,Eoin.you've been really stressed out these few days we know.its darn obvious dude.pretty sure its that matter that's bothering your mind.but dude,seriously.let it pass man.no point letting this affect your mood and ESPECIALLY,your studies.we need to talk.big time.just try to ease thing off.im darn sure the masses are in acknowledgement of what i said above.tc bro.

What a day.!damn it was a great day.although not entirely great though.lol.well i better get started.sure have lots to blog about today.hah

Today happened to be Cross Country cum Teachers' Day celebration,where we were doing the x-country first before teacher's day celebrations commenced.for the first time in 4yrs,i walked this time round.in the end,nearly the whole sec4 n 5s were walking,making it look like a walkathon instead.hah.had loads and loads of laughter during the whole thing.damn it was good.hah.laughed so hard my stomach's still feeling the after effects now.got a bad looking position,but what the heck.i DID walk.so after close to half hour of rest,the celebrations started.at first,it was not too bad.performances by the dance groups were pretty nice,not to the point of exciting though.pity.then the worst performance of the day has to go to the band who included the ex-students.damn they were bad.real bad.the vocalists were so darn bad,maybe my grandmother can sing better.and one of the guitarist was pissing so many people off with his over elaborate jamming,it really got very much on my nerves.its as though the bugger was on a high dose of drugs.damn.it was BAD.but other than that particular perfomance,the rest was fine,and the awards were,well,a little too obvious.no upsets by new winners,instead,the good ol' winners won it yet again.

After the celebrations,stayed behind for a short Chinese remedial,which is darn important cause my Prelims will be commencing this Friday.gotta need all the preparation i can get.

Well,after the remedial,went over to my Pri School to meet up with some old aquaintances and Teachers alike.didnt managed to meet up with all of them,but still met a decent number.Then the group of 10(yours truly,Kian,Jonathan,Bei Ying,Agnes,Jazreel,Gowri,Siew Hoon,Cheryl and Rosini)went over to j8 to have our lunch.ate at PASTAMANIA,which was pretty good.prices are kind of reasonable as well.was really nice to see the familiar faces,although some have underwent some changes to their image,while others are still the same old person.hah.but it was great,talked and laughed,remincising about the past was definitely a memorable thing to do.left at around close to 5,and headed home after bidding our farewells.cant wait for the next reunion again.damn superb.

Lastly,as i scroll down my tagboard,i've come to noticed a few tags by the names of anoymous.hah.well.i have this to say to this hopeless losers.you can go ahead and call me names and dirty my tagboard.at least now i know there are cowards like you out there in this society.and dont think i dont know who you are.im just ignoring it.cause i see no greatness in arguing with childish and mindless mother fuckers.oh well,life's like this i guess.there must lie a few of these people to interrupt and annoy your life.damn.wish them a early death.it'll help a lot to the world.for sure i say.and one last thing,if you people have the guts to leave those tags there,i suggest that you come find this puny,ugly,cocky loser right where you want him to be.and im damn sure you lifeless idiots know where.hah.you gotta take good care of your brains.oops.what brains.?you people are just a bunch of EMPTY VESSELS.shall end here.tc all.

Tagboard replies-to YH and Mat:thks for your concern and support.but really.just leave this mindless souls alone.they dont heed advice.cause empty vessels dont think.

Just reeling in from the shock i received after visiting a friend's blog just now.damn it was freaky.hah.well,its another start of a new week.the weekends passed real quickly(which was a darn blooper.)just happen to remember one particular incident when i went out with my mum yesterday.

Lets all get this fact straight.im now 16.currently waiting to take the 'O's later on this year.well.this is what happened when i made my way to a necessities shop with my mum.as i stood around minding my own business,the shop auntie,which was a friend of my mum,began asking about me.this is what she proclaimed upon seeing me."So,this is your eldest son?how old is he?in Sec 1?"Upon hearing this,my jaw nearly dropped.fair enough,my physical build dont suggest that im a 16 year old.but surely im tall enough?pride dented,i just returned the favour by giving back a weak smile.(well what else do you expect me to do?kill her?actually that DID cross my mind.lol)really felt like digging a hole and hiding inside.thank god it wasnt crowded.jeez.that was really a bad shot.but anyway,the weekends were spent mugging and at the same time,jamming my ps2 up.hah.damn addictive.those avid gamers out there will understand it well.hah.

Today happened to be those days when you wake up feeling real tired.and i mean REAL tired.the bed was so enticing.damn.luckily i managed to drag myself out of bed before i got late.School was particularly boring,just felt like sleeping the whole day.before lessons could even commence,the sec4s and 5s were given a lecture on how to study smartly.took away something like 1hr30mins?those darn tactics were already talked about.yet they could go on and on.amazing isnt it?obviously missed Mother Tongue,which i feel is darn important considering our Prelims on that subject starts THIS FRIDAY.oh well,time's already gone.cant recover it back.then spent a little while on stage having Eng lesson.talk about being innovative.lol.after that.the event of the day:our Annual Class Photo Taking.girls and guys alike(including yours truly as well)dashed for the toilets to groom themselves to a perfect look.not surprising at all,considering this is after all the LAST photo taking for the likes of us.had a little problem with the tie,but was quickly solved by who else?Eoin of course.hah.but the photo taking was a little screwed,at the time we were taking it,the sun was shining ever so brightly,causing our eyes to diminish into a fine line.now tell me how the heck do you take photos in conditions like that?damn.

After that,which left close to everyone gasping for air and adjusting their cheeks,(hah.)we proceeded to continue our Eng lesson.History was the usual today,as we were asked to do cluster papers.didnt really feel like doing it,but aided by the blasting earphones of my mp3,was able to complete much of it.hah.School ended soon after,but still had to stay back for Maths remedial,which was another "ask more than answer"session.lol.went to have lunch with Ken,where i was filled in on the latest updates.superb.

Well,thats about all for today.

Trying desperately to recollect what happened yesterday.didnt get the chance to blog yesterday as i was too filled up with work.homework that is.so now let me start this post from yesterday onwards.

Yesterday happened to be D-day for Sci Prelim Prac.was a bundle of nerves before the practical.in the end.was ruined because of that.very disappointed with myself.terribly in fact.but what the heck.the exam's over already.no point crying over spilt milk.just gotta buck myself up for the 'O's.so that really sort of ruined my entire day already.and obviously the lock up period didnt help.but thankfully,equipped with my mp3 and loads of laughter.Scott can testify to that.hah.so my day lightened up a little.one particular incident i have to talk about is definitely when we're about to be released.when the confiscated handphones were being given out.as typical as any S'porean out there,there was a mad rush for it.its like their phones have been confiscated for 10million years.lol.

After that,which signalled the end of school,went over to TP to have lunch with the usual group of bastards.hah.as always,the good ol' banter was evident.laughed a lot.headed home after that because i really couldnt carry on any longer.was really down and darn tired at the same time.

Today was kinda fine.Chemistry lesson was filled with PMS.pretty much frustrated with a fellow classmate who had the answers to the teacher's questions.but just couldnt speak up and instead insisted someone near him to speak it out for him.in the end,answers werent given and madness took over.jeez.Art was more interesting today,as we were made to practise some painting after about 4months without painting on the drawing board.was nice to get back to the brushes,but a little rusty with the skill.gotta practise more.had a good laugh when i watched Eoin helping 2other girls with removing the lumps in soft clay.he got clay all over his body it looked like he just came out of a mud storm.hah.damn superb.in the end managed to clean off most of it with a wet towel.thankfully.hah.

Went over to KFC to have lunch with Eoin,Ken,Yonghua,Hui Yun,Valerie.for a specific reason of course.enough said.hah.was pretty much in a rush as we had other appointments to attend to.so lunch was over quite quickly.chilled over at Ken's crib.played a little of CM5 and really understood what i've been missing out on.unfortunately,my com's too screwed to be able to play the game.damn.chilled for quite awhile before making my way home.before i end it here,guess i've to reply to the tagboard msgs here till i can actually tag on it again.

Tagboard reply-yh:ohh.hahs.for sure we did have hell of a laugh.hahs.tc.

-Eoin:ohh.thats not the only proof that BPS is a asylum.tc dude.

Had a real tiring day.oddly enough,today was supposed to be physically tired for me but instead,its more mentally tired.missed out on PE.which was a real blooper.the day just started with a subject that would bore even the most enthusiastic of students.SS.absolutely dread the subject.thankfully today's lesson wasnt as boring as the previous lessons.the teacher went a little over animated today.which has been missing for some time now.so its kinda nice for a change.hah.she just went a little nuts,demostrating how "dramatic" she could be when compared to the people from the Middle East.lol.sure got the whole class laughing their asses off.missed out on PE due to the teacher's absence.of all days.jeez.so we were sent to the AVA room where we watched,or tried to watch,a movie.i said tried to watch because when the next group of students,the sec1Ts,well.u can already picture it.rowdy monkeys jumping up and down making continuous noises.if its not irritating then i dont know what is.sure got a lot of people ruffled up.but its pretty pointless to me.i feel that they're just kids,no use getting mad or frustrated over them.even the most sensible person in the room lost it.quite amazing.

Maths was a chore after recess.was made to do another school's paper2.as usual faced endless difficulties n ended up asking more than answering.lol.Eng followed and it was kinda slacking around as the teacher left us to do a summary.finished it quickly.school ended soon after that.was a really mentally draining day.could tell by the looks of our sleepy n groggy faces.like we went through 10days without sleep.hah.

had a light lunch in school before heading home with a aquaintance.tomorrow's the SCI PRELIM PRACs.more or less memorised the important points.but what i dont understand is why we,being in shift 1,have to be qurantined from 9.30 till 1.30?to prevent the leakage of qns i understand.but for so long?i really beg to differ.oh well.i dont make the decisions anyway.guess i'll end here.gotta re-revise the notes again.just to make sure.hah.tc.

Wanted to blog yesterday.but as usual,the internet screwed up.nothing new to my life.always screwing something up.that's just my life.its NORMAL.well.what the heck.there's not a single day where i can actually proclaim,"Hey,today went really well.!".lol.oh well.that's Samuel Tay's life for you.

Anyway,the weekends passed rather quickly for me.too quick,in fact.wished that it could drag on just a little bit more.but again,today's yet another start of the school week.right from the beginning of school,was told about the new Chinese Banding Scheme,whereby students retaking the Chinese 'O's was grouped into classes according to their grades.unfortunately.i was the ONLY GUY.from my class.what a way to begin my day.so despite the bewilderment in me,forced myself to attend the lesson,which,obviously,was an absolute bore.just cant wait to get it over and done with.the day went on pretty fine.Eng was interesting and also "enriching" as we read our classmates' essays.some were really good ones and some were,well,leaving me and my friends pretty speechless.lol.had a good laugh at some of the essays,which was really phrased in a amusing way.such as this example,"As i took a seat in the plane next to the window,i PEEKED OUT OF THE WINDOW TO VIEW THE SCENERY."Obviously,this person has either never taken a plane trip before or this person doesnt even know what the hell the sentence means.now thats a really good one there.hah.History passed by rather quickly.and so was Maths remedial.

Then,over at TP where we(yours truly,Eoin,Ken,Sathesh)had our lunch at KFC,we were pretty disturbed over one particular incident.this happened when we were about 30mins into our lunch,when out of nowhere,this rather elderly man came over to us and tapped on my shoulder.of course we were pretty nervous,thinking what warranted this man to just talk to us suddenly.then he started criticising about students from another school.claiming that they bullied him.hearing this,we were pretty puzzled and at the same time,feeling a lot more at ease as this had nothing to do with us.he left after 5mins of continuous criticism.we were relieved that he left,and proceeded to have our lunch.however,around another 45mins later,the same man returned.and this time,he began to talk about yesterday's National Rally.which is,rather weird,because we dont know this man,and he just talks to us about anything.when he left,we were all harbouring thoughts of leaving immediately,in case we got "third time lucky".so after about 15mins of usual banter,we left and proceeded home.

There seems to be an invisible wall between us suddenly.

Even if i try to drive a tank through it,it wouldnt break.

Trying desperately to think what has gone wrong.

Or is this an indication of things gone very wrong?

Got a POA test tomorrow,two chapters.hah.well.gotta go mug now.tc.and one last thing.dunno what's wrong with my tagboard recently,couldnt seem to tag on it.so i guess i'll have to reply to the msgs here.

To the people who tagged:thks for popping by,tc all.keep on with ur blogging.!

Heys.have been blogging for three days consecutively already.thats quite alot of blogging.hah."Amazingly"is probably the best descriptive word for today.lol.Sch was fine today.but of course,beginning the day by SS was definitely not the best way.and as expected.it was yet another boring lesson.her constant mono tone was really giving the sandman a run for his money.lol.she also showed a very different side of her today.she actually took a wrapped up cardboard paper and threatened to hit any person who's not paying attention.obviously it caught everyone by surprise.didnt know she was boring AND aggressive.so was more or less kept awake by the sight of the "weapon".hah.then aft that we had PE,where amazingly,we played a modified game of frisbee,which turned out unexpectedly to be really fun.lots of laughs could be heard and im sure i contributed a large part to it.hah.particularly funny when one of my fren tried to catch the frisbee,only to get hit on the face when he "caught" it.that was really the ignition to non-stop laughter.hah.was great.then had Maths where we did a paper 1 from another sch.wasnt as tough as the previous ones,so managed to do quite a few.which was amazingly unbelieveable.lol.we were then released from sch early,because a number of us had oral.so rushed through lunch.proceeded to the waiting room.was the last person,so was under quite some pressure.after all,i have to keep the examiners interested.or else my marks are gonna take a hell of a beating.well,thankfully,the oral went about amazingly fine.wasnt as nervous as i expected myself to be.so.guess i did ok.now i just hope i can achieve that distinction i so much desired.hah.been quite a torrid few days for me.just dunno whats wrong.i seem to be wearing a mask to sch.portraying a happy face.but when i get home.im down like my whole life has been a tragedy.lol.lets hope this wont affect me too much.lets hope..guess i'll end here.gotta study for my Physics test tomorrow.peace.

Hey there peeps.have'nt been blogging for some time now.was reali kinda busy with lots of revision.lets just say,the Sci Prelim Practical is jus 10days away.now thats what i call fast.lol.gotta memorise the notes given thoroughly.just have to.hmm.didnt begin the day as what i had wanted it to.reached sch late today.no thanks to the bus driver of course.i admit i could have taken a earlier bus.but,this bus driver was reali ridiculous.he actually stopped for close to 5-10mins just to let one male passenger on the bus.when we're already jam-packed like a can of sardines.his constant shouts to get us to move in was really irritating.as a result of Mr Squeeze Them All,reached sch late.damn.Sch began to get better.or so i thought.pretty much slacked around during Mt,and Eng was pretty interesting today as the teacher talked about blogs.gotta admit,whatever she said was definitely making a whole lot of sense.then we had a little practice for oral before the lesson ended.Hist was really the tip of the iceberg today.had a darn open book test.was seriously in no mood to do it.slept really late ystd night.so was really feeling rather lethargic.and of course,knowing that the aft sch programme included Maths remedial,it just made things worse really.lol.so didnt managed to complete the paper.but did at least 3/4 of it.hah.today's Maths remedial was definitely much more enriching than the previous one.the teacher bothered to explain carefully to us how each sum was done and it sure helped a whole lot.then aft that,went to have lunch with the usual gang,Eoin,Sathesh,Jens,Ken.but i would like to highlight one incident when we were about to leave sch.passed by the canteen.walking like any other day,then all of a sudden,loud voices of "u petty bugger"were heard.i say,if it wasnt aimed at us,then im sure curious as who was that aimed at.because i sure dont see anyone else besides us.jeez.dont wanna mention names.the individual who did it knows it best.well,i guess i only have this to say.go ahead and say whatever shit you want to.because im not gonna give two hoots about what u ppl are gonna say.its getting kinda irritating.but heck,im pretty confident of my tolerance level.so if u ppl wanna test it.i say go ahead and do so.i have this to say to u.GET A LIFE.if u ppl dont have a life,then dont bother oth ppl who have it.it only shows your mental capacity,and ur level of maturity.dont u know these acts are just gonna make me and my friends more sick of u ppl?guess not.ohh.got my Mt O level results back last fri.got a 5.damn.was so damn disappointed.dont even talk about my parents.lol.but at least that day was great for one thing and one thing only.the phone call with sweetie pie.hah.althought it was short,it was short but sweet.hah.so gotta retake it at the end of the year.gotta make sure i achieve what i failed to achieve.well.got a double Poa chapter test tomorrow.guess i'll end it here.tc all.peace.
