explantion of the last post...
the previous post is a crappy poem that i dreamt up when i looked through all the things and events of this year that have been ingrained in my memory. all the undone homework, the failed tests, the dismal grades. and the fun with my classmates, laughs with my friends and the certain knowledge that the coming year will bring its own experiences as well.
On the coming year and my feeling of this one
On the coming year and my feeling of this one
As the clock chimes and
Bells ring, time
Seems fluid yet still
Flowing yet static
It was a spring day
Blink
Then it was scorching summer
Blink
Then it was autumn and the
rains fell
Then a snowless winter in
a tropical land
Now the cycle starts again
Part of a never-ending circle
But our perceptions are awry
For time is a straight path
That neither returns nor overlaps
The past lives in
Memories that time erodes
The present ever changes becoming
Part of the past
But the future
Lies ahead and
No man may know whether
It is dim or bright
As the clock chimes and

back from the dead for a short while...
I guess im really not cut out for blogging since this is my first entry in 2.5 months…lots of stuff happened but I’ll just touch on the highlights: cleared promos, finally completed PW and started reading a new manga series. The last one is actually the most important one…im spending so much money buying the books that im bankrupt now.
There. I’ve updated. Happy now Samantha?!?! Class outing on Thursday, dunno whether I should go…going to watch dvds now…ciao

strange mondays
I really don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote the last post…can everyone who read it please forget it? I would delete it but I don’t know how…such a noob. Anyway, school today was the typical Monday blues where time passes in slow motion and occasionally takes tea breaks. One good thing is that I end at 2.35 pm on Mondays so I don’t need to suffer til 5...that’s what Tuesdays are for.
One thing im really procrastinating about is my KI essays…the titles are all so f***ed up that I can barely crap up 2 pages worth while others can happily write 3 pages or more…freaks…
I also committed suicide by promising luke lau in front of witnesses that I would pull off a A for Wednesday’s chem test…if I could have heard myself, I would have thought I was drunk…WHAT POSSESSED ME TO SAY THAT?!?! Any way, a promise is a promise so I better go study now…
Oh, just a short note, PW IS POINTLESS AND IRRITATING. And it also costs a fortune in printing thanks to the double line spacing…honestly, its not as if teachers are that blind or that we can make so many mistakes that they can’t write all the corrections in the margins…sigh…

thoughts on life and love
Its been quite a normal week for me since my last update…of course, normal is relative and my normal means a typical JC students life…work, stress, work, sleep(optional). Of course, I’m probably exaggerating. As of the moment, I’m still waiting for Shawn that %$!* >?{“!($& to send me his part of the WR…
Today, I went to the airport with the intent of studying but I couldn’t find a seat either at Starbucks of The Coffee Bean so I ended up wandering aimlessly before I decided to go home. But as I was walking around, I had some strange, philosophical thoughts…I blame KI for that.
What I thought of was that in life, we are all actually very much alone. We only reach out at times to others then retreat back to our own bubble that is our life. When I considered it more closely, its actually true. While you can say that you have many friends, if constant contact is not maintained, you actually break off from them. Think of people you knew in the 1st 3 months in JC who went on to other institutions. How many have you not seen in weeks? And how many have you lost contact with since the ‘o’ level results came out or even before that?
If you go further back in time to your secondary or even your primary school, how many people can you truly remember if you haven’t seen them since you graduated? For all you know, you can walk past them on the street and if they changed hairstyle, wore contacts or made some other appearance changes, you would never be able to recognize them as that annoying person who sat behind you in P4.
Think now of the friends you have and then imagine the future. Do you honestly think that, barring them joining your university course, you would ever meet up with them 10 years down the road? More likely, you would be hanging out with your colleagues, or for guys, with your NS buddies. The only likely time to get together would be alumni dinners or weddings. But as time goes by, even those would be replaced by other people until you’re old and senile. Simply, you came into this world alone and you would leave this world alone.
Yet, one bond will keep people linked together, maybe for eternity. Love. Love will link your parents and you, your siblings and you, maybe even your spouse and you. So I say trust in love, trust in its existence and the certainty that you can and will find it, because love will link people to you and you to people for the rest of your life and maybe beyond that. As Nicholas Sparks wrote in The Notebook “maybe we’ve lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we’ve found each other. And maybe each time, we’ve been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a good bye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come.”

maths...need i go on???
it is now tmr and has been so for the past 56 min...i'm sitting in front of my laptop, trying to study econs but taking occasional breaks now and then...i have spent approximately the last 7 hours in front of my laptop doing my lit presentation, eom and now my econs test.
the week was kinda fun, missed church yesterday(or today depending on your idea of tomorrow) cos i overslept...sorry guys! went bowling for triton for interhouse games on saturday...its been a long time since i bowled so my score pulled the team down...in the end we lost to the second by a .9 pins average per player per game...that means that if each of us had gotten one more pin for each game we played,we would have won...thats depressing...such a small margin. Khairil was really good though, too bad he had to go for a soccer match else we might have gotten second.
had a vectors test on friday and i really want to complain about it...apparently our period starts at 7.50(yeah,right) so we were 3 mins late. whats more, the invigilator told us that we would stop 5 min before the bell which meant 8.40 cos the period ends at 8.45. instead, we ended at 8.30...after that, they took 15 min to count our papers...that is seriously lame...do they have to use calculators and algebric equations to determine the number of papers in front of them??compare that to the chem department or the econs department...each of them takes 5, at most 10 min...i mean, we can finish an econs test and the lecturer can still have 5 min to do a brief intro of his topic. honestly, the J1 maths department is probably the worst department in the college.
better stop here or the maths department might trace this blog and "pick me up" for a quiet torture/brain-washing session to completely indoctrinate me to their unquestionable superiority over the other departments...and of course that econs test didn't conveiniently go away...

another f***ed up day,another "strongly-worded" entry
i'm in the school library, supposedly doing research, but in essence slacking off and updating this thing. jus a quick short update...
16/8/06: attended a NE talk which is for all intents and purposes a glorified propaganda session. it got to the point that me, wilberg, ben and xue ying were playing tai-di(big 2). stayed back after that for the CRAC, college representative appreciation ceremony, boring but there was free food so it was kinda worth it.
today, committed suicide by taking the independent study topics of either archeology or palentology for my KI. i have NO IDEA what to do...maths test and chem spa tomorrow...going to study them today...i better remember to buy coffee on the way home...

another slack day,another short update
a short update on me...i have been staying at home since the holiday and i have done ABSOLUTELY NO WORK!!!all i've been doing is watching dvds,downloading songs and reading books...not textbooks,books.kinda worried about that but strangely, i feel no conscious stress at all...my subconcious will probably torture me later on.
yep, my life is boring but im content with it. at least i dun have to wake up for school...wonder how mr lau is doing marking our chem test...
National Day pic that i mentioned in my last entry...patriotic,but stupid

national day...at least there are fireworks and holidayz...
hey,there, i'm finally updating again...got lazy and didn't really feel like logging in. From Monday then,
7/9/06: nothing much happened except that i skipped the extra maths lesson to do my lit assignment. not much logic but i did have my reasons. i would also now like to comment on the link between other people's words and actions. apparently, people in my class don't really follow through...say pon but in the end still go. i guess i can give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they possibly changed their minds at the last second...but i guess a lot of it also has to do with peer pressure...your friends pon then u also go along. the only problem that i see with that is that who starts the ball rolling? afterwards i had to dress up and go down to republic plaza which is around raffles place mrt. wilberg also made comments on my outfit that really makes me want to kill him. to any readers who might know me, i only dress up for a few things, weddings, funerals,my dad bringing me to these posh places that sort of thing. the only time i will EVER dress up for a school event is the prom if i do go.
8/9/06: gave serious consideration to ponning the celebration so i could get some sleep. i still went in the end though. parts of the celebration were still worth it though like the teacher's performance and the ridiculous getup of people in class. they painted a letter on a red shirt and spelled i *heart* Singapore with it. afterwards i went for the dreaded econs test. it was pretty much a waste of time because i was writing pure crap throughout. i think jasmine, adeline they all also ponned the test but not too sure about that. maybe i should have left with them...gordon,naiyu,wilberg and i went out to white sands mac for lunch after the test. talked about a lot of stuff like wilberg getting dumped *** times, gordon and his ex and some other stuff. gordon ps us to go somewhere to do something so wilberg,naiyu and i ended up going to katong where we played pool along with some of naiyu's tk friends. some of them were quite irritating but didn't hang around much with them. after that naiyu,wilberg and the tk guys went bowling while i played lan with some s403 guys. one note to make is that the pool place was absolutely swamped with mjc people. they definately got a LOT of business that day. it was also quite cheap(my game was only $5) but the tables SUCKED. lan wasn't too bad but i only played one match with them. used my mainstay,the slayer. got about 9 kills but 2 were ks. my teammates were rally good though, joshua and gerrard from 06S403. they got like 10 and 24 kills respectively. i feel so noob thinking about it.gotta go and practice more.
yep, thats my life up to now. slacking off, not doing work, blogging and looking forward to the fire works and sleeping late tomorrow. CYA

farewell party...BYE KE LI!!
I just got back home from the farewell party for ke li...it was fun and i'll try to give a coherent account of it in this post...
the whole thing started off with the whole group waiting for xue ying who was quite late.and by whole group i mean 10+ people...the full attendence list was me,nai yu,henry,gordon,stanley,ben quek,wilberg,shawn(who came later),felicia,sheryl,elvia,eunice,joyce,wan xin,liying,jasmine(who came later with mr lau) and of course ke li.on the teacher's side,only mr lau was present...funny how he's always the only teacher around at our class outings...
So after xue ying arrived,the whole gigantic group of us took our own sweet time walking out of the station and to the bus stop.for those who have never been to marina bay,the place has only 2 bus services that are sporadic at best so getting anywhere there takes a hell of a time.
after a cramped bus ride,we got to the steamboat centre.nai yu and gordon led us to a particular restaurant because the food there was better as compared to the others...at that time,i think that we should have decided as a group but looking back,it wasn't too bad...the place definately had a wide variety but had some self-service policies that weren't very customer-friendly...by this,i mean that they just gave us 4 live crabs and expected us to clean and cook them ourselves...its all very good for families with somebody who cooks but we're students for crying out loud!!its not as if we have extensive instrution in the kitchen...its probably enough that we could cook our own food,mostly meat and some meat on the side.
the NDP 2006 preview was also today so half-way through dinner we got a free fireworks show...its was nice but i couldn't get any pictures of it...haiz,sad.
after we finished dinner,it was time for entertainment and amusement...of course some of us had to get home but a sizable group still went down to the arcade and pool place...put it this way,we had to open 3 tables and still we had to double up at one table and 3 people didn't join in...it was there that i took my revenge against Jasmine and had Round 2 with Ben...i beat both of them in the first round we played then i took it easy afterwards...jasmine came back to beat me in the second round with me having 6 balls left...not very good i admit.but in my defence,i was feeling lazy so i used the snooker strategy.but next time...heheh,we'll see.my one regret is that i couldn't play with mr lau.elvia also surprised me in that shes quite a good player somewhere around jorim's and jeremy's standard which is to say above me
after pool,a even more reduced group went to the arcade.at that point,only ben,mr lau,jasmine,li ying and xue ying were still around...i played a bit of time crisis 2 and watch jasmine and xue ying play the para para thing.we also tried to persuade mr lau to try it but he adamantly refused...i suppose part of it is that if we got a video of it and threatened to show it to the school...well,you can work it out.the funny thing is,for an irrational moment,i was considering trying it out myself but eventually decided against it.
by the time we all finished,it was past 10.30 and the most prudent course of action would be to get home before we all got grounded.unfortunately,the train was having a few cock-ups.i swear that when ichecked the time to next train,it said 3 min but the next time i looked it was 4.finally the train came but it was not for boarding so we had to wait for the next one.i am convinced that we had to wait for at least a half-hourbefore we could get aboard the train.as is normal in Singapore,the train was super crammed.it got to the point that if the train jerked,you wouldn't stimble cos you were jammed against another person.
one interestin thing is that li ying called her boyfriend to also get on the train and afterward walk her home...the only problem is that both of them had no idea of which compartment they were in so it was worring for a while.of course,he eventually met up with her as he was in the next compartment.it was also the first time i got a good,up close look at her boyfriend...til now it was see them together but stay a discreet and respectful distance away so as not to disturb.it also made things a bit interesting for me since li ying and i walk the same route home at first with her going right and me going straight at a point...even then a long distance.my general strategy was speed and ignorance...that simply means that i walked as fast as i could and completely ignored her when i walked past the both of them...Li Ying,if u ever read this,i didn't mean to be rude,i just thought that i shouldn't be a lampost/lightbulb...funnily enough,when i looked back before crossing the road,i saw no sign of them...and i don't think i walked that fast...i wonder what they were doing...
think thats all i want to say...i better go to sleep if i want to wake up for church tomorrow...goodnight.zzzzzzzzzzzzz

bloody download speeds
i'm updating again in the space of a few hours...i have no idea what i'm doing.according to the date now,its saturday...so...ITS THE WEEKEND!!!the one thing i love about weekends is that nobody can touch me for school...i repeat: NOBODY can touch me for school,its whether i bother about school stuff or not.right now,the only reason i'm online is that i'm still waiting for my song downloads to finish.i think i've commented about it before its an ongoing problem,something on the order of global warming: slow but ultimately fatal with the fatal part being me killing the idiots who designed the server i'm dowloading from.
i dunno whether i mentioned in my last entry but my extended family is celebrating 5 birthdays tomorrow and of great concern to me is the fact that i have to get birthday presents for my cousins.to a guy whose idea of a birthday present is an electric guitar or a drum set,how the heck am i going to find presents??i asked people(girls obviously) about what kind of presents i should get and they all came up with stuff like soft toys or wallets or pencil cases which obviouly depend on my rather screwed taste and judgement...i am so dead...
i think i'll end on that morbid note...oh,F*** THE BLOODY SERVOR stupid motherf**ing thing

finally...THE WEEKEND but i'm disgusted
its finally friday...that means that i can catch up on my sleep tomorrow since i normally sleep until 11 on saturday.I went to watch "the lake house" today after school with some classmates who were basically eunice,tabitha,felicia,benjamin,nai yu and wilberg...it was a good movie but im still struggling with ending...somehow or other i just can't work it out...but nvm,go watch it for yourself and see whether YOU understand
i finally managed to find my chem teacher's blog...some of his entries are very amusing,especially the ones about my class...this finally helped me understand the significance of a journal or diary...all these humourous things happen but as time plods on,you forget them and its only through the words that flow from your own hands that these anecdotes continue living on in memory.
the class is having a farewell party for ke li tomorrow but attendence is disappointing in its uncertainty...everybody is saying things like "see who goes first" and all that...its a dodge that i frequently use myself so i can't really flame them for it but its a bit disappointing.I mean,just because a person is not from your own clique you don't feel a pressing need to go to an event for them...She's still a classmate for crying out loud!!!you stoned through the same tutorials,slept through the same lectures,had the same lessons with her...isn't that enough to ensure your participation??its disappointing sometimes...but i suppose thats what you get when the class fragments into cliques with each small group off doing their own thing.the reasons for this particular phenomena are numerous and i suppose that for my class,they fit together just nice.but thats enough complaining about my class.i think i'm having such strong feelings because to me friendship is absolute and binding...probably not many people in class know this(practically nobody) but if i see you as a friend,it means that if you asked me to do something,i would probably do it.not anything immoral but if i could then i would do all i can to help you.the simple problem of this is that not many know that i see you as a friend...that comes from another set of social conditions that i could spend the whole night typing about but won't discuss now.
and of course i have to buy birthday presents for cousins that are also incidentally female(almost all my cousins are female)...this is particularly challenging for me because i simply cannot choose presents for people...which is why i hate birthdays and Christmas...i always feel bumbling and stupid around this time...
well,going to get my 12+ hours of sleep...cya and goodnite

singapore's 17 JCs and how they think
Q: How many RJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 4 whole faculties. One to design the new bulb, one to manufacture and test it out, one to write a proposal on it and one to market it.
Q: How many HCJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: The whole school. To compete with RJC.
Q: How many VJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: The whole school. One student to screw it in and the rest to cheer and wave flags and banners to give him/her support.
Q: How many NJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They can study without light.
Q: How many AJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: They're too busy trying to be one of the top 5 JCs.
Q: How many ACJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They'll rather use all their money to employ YJC to do it for them.
Q: How many YJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. Only one teacher to tell them what a light bulb is in the first place and to demonstrate how to change the light bulb. (So how do you think they're able to change it for ACJC?)
Q: How many CJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: They'll prefer it to be darker. (Hmmmm... *raises eye-brows* )
Q: How many JJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. Their physics is so bad that they made their macho male physics teacher cry.
Q: How many TPJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. Would they even bother?
Q: How many SAJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They believe in praying for it.
Q: How many NYJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They are still using oil lamps.
Q: How many SRJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Huh, what litebarb?
Q: How many PJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Heck the light bulb lah, the principal would do something about the rightbarbs. Let's do 300jumping jacks for not wearing the proper school attire.
Q: How many MJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They are too busy trying to get promoted.
Q: How many IJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They are Innovians. They'll find ways out of the dark.
Q: Who wrote all this?
A: A TJCian.
Q: How many TJC students does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They think they are already very bright.
lame but oddly appropriate in some areas...especially the MJC one. Thanks for putting this on your blog judith...hope you dun mind me copying it

another day,another whirlwind
i'm blogging again...nvm.Lots of stuff happened today.starting in the morning: Woke up early to go to school for the Meridian Leaders Day...can't the school just leave that extra hour of sleep alone??!!i mean,they've been having activities in that time slot for as long as i care to remember...KI was fun today where chen shien told us about probability and odds and we had a lot of fun arguing and thinking...somehow or other, we free-associated all over the place and raised topics that had almost no link to the scheduled one. Then during recess, we celebrated Li Ying's birthday...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!...as i wrote in her card, one more year,one more wrinkle or as i read somewhere,"its a joy to grow older.the mind gets better but everything else starts breaking down". later, is skipped cca to study/do work...i really think that it was a better use of time than to slack off during cca...unless cca was something more interesting like basketball or soccer or squash or badminton...basically most of the sports.we couldn't have bowling training today because wilberg cancelled last minute on us...ben was damn pissed,and he remained pissed for the whole day...i can understand that,i mean,if you're the emotional type,certain strong emotions can stay with you for quite a long time.
oh,today was also a milestone in that I FINALLY PASSED AN ECONS TEST!!!yep,got an 11/15...i am really satisfied with that grade...i suppose some of that satisfactio comes from a subconcious need to prove to myself that i can still work and study...what with the mid-years and the chem bonding test(got a S by the way)...i think i was starting to lose confidence in myself...
as per normal,i checked my friends blogs and one touched me very much...from what i can gather,she is still sad about her old boyfriend breaking up with her and she also thinks that its her fault that the relatioship ended...add on the fact that she found another boyfriend so fast and i think i'm justified in worrying about her.I just wish that she could get over her old boyfriend and also watch out in case the present one is the "rebound guy"As numerous breakup books and articles and writing's say,its not YOUR fault if the guy breaks up with you.if you think that you did something to him to cause the breakup,look at it the other way and consider the fact that if he really loved you,he would forgive you and try to patch up the relationship.in other words,he would do something instead of taking the easy way out and dumping you.In fact,this process of making mistakes and forgiving is a very strong relationship builder.the simple fact that he dumped you means that his love was not strong enough to withstand the first crisis that came along...in that case,better to move on and try to find true love...
the above paragraph is embarassingly romantic but i really believe that that is what true love is and how it can help the couple get past any problems big or small...for a really good example,watch the movie "Love Actually".it is a beautiful movie where the breadth and depth of love is showcased in numerous little encounters and relationships.enough about love...i think i've exposed myself enough for one blog...next post,i'll add in a joke from a friends blog about the various JC's...

getting moody...
can't believe i'm blogging again so soon...but i dun have anything better to do while i wait for the bloody motherf***ing download to finish.i mean,i have broadband,high connection speed and all that and the thing is still plodding along at 5 kbps...that was fast when they first came up with the modem but i'm sure its a little slow for modern day connection speeds.anyway,school was the same old-same old although there was the jap pop symphonic band from nagoya that was kinda having an exchange with mj and they played today during morning assembly.THEY ROCKED!!!they were great,coordination,music,moves everything...if any band in Singapore could perform like that,the syf would have to come up with a new award,something higher than gold with honors...platinum?i skipped maths remedial to do maths tutorial...how pathetic does that sound??but all in all,it was probably a better use of resources...if i went for the remedial,nothing would have been done,trust me...i don't think i could have even lasted 5 min before daydreaming than stoning than falling asleep.my class seems to be getting smaller...for first three months,my class was like 28 people...than after JAE,it dropped to 24,now its 23...its a bit sad really.i'm sure that Ke Li has her reasons for going to poly...sometimes i think i might have gone too if a only knew what course to take.the only problem i can spot here is that she has already withdrawn form MJ but has NOT been accepted by the poly...don't think i need to elaborate...if by some perverse trick of fate or chance you read this,i wanna say good luck in whatever you do...i din really know you well and i'm pretty sure you'll forget my name very fast but it was nice having you as a classmate and a friend.this post has made me really moody and melancholic...oh well,time to check back on my downloads...good luck with tomorrows physics test guys!!*snigger*

next update
i think i'm not really a good blogger,after all,its been MONTHS SINCE I UPDATED!!!!not a really good track record...i mean,my friends update at least twice a week but i take twice a term.As per normal,midyears suck but still managed to avoid that dreaded Parent-Teacher meeting...i wonder how it went earlier today...anyway,grades are
Chem E
Maths U(nice way of saying F)
Econs U
KI A(damn unexpected,i jus wanted a pass)
Lit D(not good...i wanted a C)
Chinese B(definetely unexpected...i mean i din touch chinese at all)
at least i can still take KI...however,as my classmate put it: Tune in to the next episode of Survivor: KI and see whos out next!!thats rite,my KI classmates are dropping out like crazy...now 11/16 left...wonder who's goin next.
I've also started downloading Jap anime songs like crazy...i have no idea way since i don't understand them at all...but the musics great.Now,my only problem is that i am desperately trying to find the score sheets for some of the songs...not very easy,trust me.
PW is in final stages and i have done NOTHING AT ALL for my EOM...so shoot me,i dun really care,and besides i can't find anything to evaluate(wat a dumb part of PW,i mean we have to do this already for the written report rite??)
Been reading my fren's blogs...like all teens,their life is filled with problems...i really worry about them but i can't tell them to their face that i worry for them...for one thing, i dun know how and another i'm kinda worried how that will sound if i say it to their face.looks like i have to offer encouragement here...HOLD ON GUYS,EVERYTHING WILL GET BETTER!!!JIA YOU!!
Ms lai gave a presentation where she told us the time we still have left to promos and the time we have to study EACH SUBJECT...a bit excessive i think.Mainly,its not the hours logged but the effort put in the time you have that matters...we're not getting paid by the hour u know.Just do as much as possible in that 10 min u have and there will be some result.As for my INTEREST *ahem*,still there,not saying anything about who,probably won't be much use if i confess anyway...
i better stop here before this post causes the servor to hang...i wonder how long u can write before it crashes??

5)Schoolwork is erratic...look,to any of my teachers if you amazingly manage to find this blog,I understand everything,mid-years will be ok,and homework doesn't really bother me
6)Chinese is crap...i think i'll do what i did for 'o's and just go to my aunt for tuition(translation:school,specifically *ahem* is practically useless)
7)Developed a strong attraction for someone...gal of course,my back isn't broken and no, i won't say who in case this falls into the wrong hands and its NOT LOVE just interest
8)Mid-years SUCK!!!..have to pass everything or i have to drop KI...might not be so bad if i didn't find GP was so freakin' borin'
yup...thats about all thats happened in these last 40+ days...
OH! June got married too...pity was i had to leave halfway through the wedding to go do CIP...life sucks sometimes...

Success!!!i learned a guitar song!!!
Finally,i learned how to play a complete song on guitar...its goo goo dolls"sympathy"...great song,easy to learn,easy to play...its a good song for a beginner.the only problem now is that my fingers are killing me.I won't be suprised if they get blistered the next time i touch a guitar.I also managed to bar chord once or twice...have to practice more
My PI got rejected...WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO SATISFY MY F***ING TEACHERS!!!!!
*sigh*now i need to think about another idea...i already came up with one but i better churn out more to meet the "high and demanding standards" of my teachers.
Got thrown the photographer job for tomorrow's Risen.That means i have to run around blocking people to take pictures of the skit/play/dun-no-wat thing we have.I don't know if i should stayover to cover the other events...night thingie and sunrise service...after,i have to hand in my PI and study for my chem test.
The friday outing was called off on account that lynette had no idea it was good friday...classic lynette.the girl can miss a talking monkey on the street if it came up to her and asked her for directions.
I have to make time to go collect my ezlink card...got caught by a inspector and she blacklisted my bro's card which i was using...at leat she didn't retain it.Honestly,the sbs transit people are a buch of cheebai motherfuckers...they retain a card on the slightest pretext and don't believe the cardowner when he/she says they go to JC and not poly...honestly,there has to be some trust in Singapore society...we can't be kiasu to the point that we assume that everyone talking to us is a potential liar.I think thats one of the reasons people migrate to other countries...if our society is filled with suspicion and you can escape it,why not???Me,i think the US or NZ wouldn't be so bad...the climate is nicer too.
Speaking of climate,it rained so heavily today that the roads were flooded as i took a bus home...even the rain channels that lead to the sea were overflowing to the point that water was flowing above the railing and spilling over to the pavement...i wouldn't want to be on foot in those areas...i would practically have to swim to get past...
I'm also thinking of getting an electric guitar...Joel says that the cheapest is $120 but it sucks...i checked out Yamaha(bunch of ripoffs) and theirs was about $450...i think i should try peninsula...they probably have better deals.After all,i haven"t even included the amps yet.The real question though is can i get enough $$ to buy one...
Should go to sleep now...planning to go running tomorrow...get in shape,lose some weight and most importantly WAKE UP TO STUDY CHEM/PLAY GUITAR...
When I was wont to meet her
In the silent woody places
By the home that gave me birth,
We stood tranced in long embraces
Mixt with kisses sweeter sweeter
Than anything on earth.

The end is near...the END OF THE WEEK!!!
Another day...another 1/7 of the week rushes by and i get closer to my tests.Seriously, its practicaly the end of the week for me. Thursday isn't so bad once you go through a Tuesday with my timetable...can we request for a timetable change at the next dialogue session??
Had another cca session today...played bridge for 3 hours straight...won some lost some...i mean,you can't win'em all rite??
Yi Cheng told me there's a class outing on fri...i really don't know whether i should go or not because its apparently organized by lynette...No offense meant but she isn't really good at organizing stuff unless Nellie is doing it with her.Plus its at Suntec and that is like really troublesome...give me someplace near home or an mrt station along the east-west line...i like things to be convienent.
there was a house metting today...not very good as it meant i missed an hour of sleep...J2s are so lucky...they only start school at 9.15 meaning they only need to wake up at 8.00+...Me?i wake up at 5.15...often with only 6 hours of sleep under my eyes...At least i get more sleep then Joel...the guys running on 3 hrs and less...dun know how he does it.
Also,nominated Gordon as house comm during the meeting.I think he secretly wanted to volunteer but was too paiseh...if its one thing photographic society has thought me,its to have a thick skin...i mean,i stick my butt at at least one person everytime i press the shutter...if that's not embarrasing,what is??
I'm getting worried about my upcoming tests...econs was a nightmare...7/20 and i tied for first in class...overall highest was a 11 though so its not so bad...means i'm 4 marks short of the best student...MUST DO BETTER NEXT TIME!!!
I also made up my mind to start training for NAPFA...i don't want to miss out on the games i can play if i make the cut.So far,i've just been doing pull-ups but i better start running as well...its no good doing ok for 5 items but failing the 6th because it still counts as a fail overall.
I better stop here if not this post will take bloody long to post.
i can't sleep knowing there's hope,
half the night i waste in sighs,
half in dreams i sorrow.
the delight of early skies;
in a wakeful doze i sorrow,
for the hand, the lips, the eyes;
for the metting of the morrow

Also,nominated Gordon as house comm during the meeting.I think he secretly wanted to volunteer but was too paiseh...if its one thing photographic society has thought me,its to have a thick skin...i mean,i stick my butt at at least one person everytime i press the shutter...if that's not embarrasing,what is??
I'm getting worried about my upcoming tests...econs was a nightmare...7/20 and i tied for first in class...overall highest was a 11 though so its not so bad...means i'm 4 marks short of the best student...MUST DO BETTER NEXT TIME!!!
I also made up my mind to start training for NAPFA...i don't want to miss out on the games i can play if i make the cut.So far,i've just been doing pull-ups but i better start running as well...its no good doing ok for 5 items but failing the 6th because it still counts as a fail overall.
I better stop here if not this post will take bloody long to post.
i can't sleep knowing there's hope,
half the night i waste in sighs,
half in dreams i sorrow.
the delight of early skies;
in a wakeful doze i sorrow,
for the hand, the lips, the eyes;
for the metting of the morrow

Hey,haven't blogged in a while...just been so tired recently. Tomorrow is a killer day(tues) for me...I end at 5.05 for crying out loud!!Today was fun,watched the MJC soccer team thrash Hwa Chong 3-0.Hwa Chong started out with this big spurt of energy,attacking all the way.I honestly believe that they had possesion 65% of the time in the first half.Luckily good defending and a change of goalkeeper kept the first half scoreless.
We burst back in the second half scoring from a penalty and free kick.The free kick was a really good one...the players faked the HCI team by faking twice.One guy took the free kick,passing it to another guy who then passed again to a third guy who took the shot.The HCI keeper was really baffled by the double fake and his own people were obstructing his vision so he couldn't react in time.When i played keeper for street-soccer,i always tried to keep my people clear of my vision...goes to show that the danger of your own defenders blocking you is a real and deadly threat and MJC proved that.
Now i need to rush out an essay for KI and a PI for my project work.
Din tink can sleep 2nite...haiz
tell me that we belong together
dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above...

feeling like complaining
Have been trying to learn I'll Be by Erwin Mccain...its not that complicated,all plucking,no strumming...but i have no idea of the timing!!So the end result is that i have notes but no melody...bit contradictory there.
I skipped lit lecture to do my chem assignment and tutorial...thats 0 of 2 for my lecture attendence...not very good.My biggest problem as of tonight is my PI...i have no idea of what to do...everyone is getting creative,thinking of samurai,geishas,dragonboat etc.Me?im stuck with no ideas at all...i am so dead.
I also signed up for triton 100m tryouts...i have no idea what possessed me to do that...hopefully,i won't be last...at least i pray that won't happen.The one highlight is that friday is a super short day for me so it's like my weekend is starting early.
One thing im feeling sore about is the dvd version of cinderella story that i bought.One is that it is english with chinese subtitles or chinese with chinese subtitles and i can't change those settings.Two is that it is devoid of any special features...i might as well have bought the vcd...now i know why its so cheap...same price as the vcd.
MJC finally won a soccer match...we beat AJC 3-2 today...it should have been 4 or 5-1.The mj goalkeeper made a silly mistake and let in one he shouldn't have.The 4 or 5 comes from a penalty we should have converted...the AJ goalkee dived before the kick so the shooter should have changed direction or angle.Another is a supposed "offside"...im not convinced about that...i mean,there was a defence present when we scored...
Right now,the critical match is with ACJC...we have to win this one to qualify for the nationals...so its win or die,make it or break it and any other terms you would like to add...
Half the night I waste in sighs,
Half in dreams I sorrow after
The delight of early skies;
In a wakeful doze I sorrow
For the hand, the lips, the eyes,
For the meeting of the morrow,
The delight of happy laughter,
The delight of low replies.

freedom from work blog!!
i decided to create my own blog,as in not related to KI...whew, at least i dun hav 2 watch wat i say anymore.
really sian today...jus went out and bought some xpensive stuff.I hav no idea why im infatuated wth Hilary Duff but i bought her cd and movie dvd...the dvd i understand because the story is really meaningful...but somehow when i watched it,i kinda fell in love wth her.Really weird.I forced myself out of it,but occasionally i'll still fantasise in my head talkin to her...usually when im daydreaming.wtf.at least i got a way to switch off during boring lectures...jus daydream.
my pw 1st draft is due tomorrow and i havent started on it yet.im hoping to rush through it after dinner.
one really interesting thing that happened to me when i was out was that i kept hearing kelly clarkson's because of you.I heard it at long john tm,some shop i walked past and a few other places.
anw,i have to go chiong my work...*sigh* dun tink i can sleep 2nite.
