I believe I'm moving to tumblr. Call this impulse. Call this peer pressure. Call it whatever you want it, I'm moving and that's it :)

juxtaposed conundrums

Sudden urge. Oh well, poly has been great. Apart from the tutor that gives the entire class hell it's been a blast. I like the fact that everything's so much more open. I've got pretty cool classmates. Awesome project mates as well, if I might add. Alright, the girls in my class aren't as pretty as I'd like them to be, but it's fine. Nah I'm kidding. I can't afford to offend anyone in the first month of school eh.

7 things I've been doing alot lately:
American/Flag football
Making more friends (IBZ MUCH)
Spending money
Laughing
Rating (1-10, rait gais)
Lepak-ing/LeKAP-ing
Interviews for every damn thing I join

In any case, it's been a long time since I last blogged. I'm thinking of moving to tumblr but that wouldn't be as optimal as I hope. Because I bet I'm gonna reblog like a million pictures and that wouldn't give me as much time to write, in the event that I do maintain a blog.

How To Train Your Dragon soundtrack is epic.

I'm hoping that the Dinner & Dance for Sports Camp is gonna be as fun as Sports Camp, after all, it is brought to us by the same people. D&D HERE

As much as I wish that a couple of my friends could be in the same school as well, I know that's not gonna happen. All I can hope for is that we keep in touch. Perhaps they've seen the fun we've had, or the stupid things we've been doing. They might wanna join us, they might not. Regardless, I would very much like to meet up weekly, or more, like we always do. Then again, even those in the same school as us aren't communicating as much as we'd like. Welcome to life.

Damnit I just opened my window for some air and a fly flew in. Furthermore a baby lizard was in my room yesterday night. Piece of shit. Scaring me to death.

Music soothes one.

I seriously need to clean up my table. It's a mess.

I wanna hit Universal Studios Singapore. Watch Iron Man 2, Ip Man 2 and The Bounty Hunter. So many things I want.

Thanks guys, for the awesome XLB buffet to celebrate my birthday. I really appreciate it. Pizza Hut as well. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I admit, I was kinda bummed when my birthday was on a monday and there was the basketball trials, but the fun I had on tuesday made up for it :D Oh, not to mention the poker chips. Cool gift haa. Wasn't expecting anything tbh :) Thanks! I really appreciate all the wishes as well. Oovoo and birthday song over Oovoo was cute. Another round of gratitude.

Events for next week:
Tuesday: Ice Cream with class (?)
Wednesday: Flag Football training
Thursday: XLB Buffet with IBZ (?)
Friday: Flag Football training
Saturday: Rcube day + D&D

Time to start on my tutorials.

Everyone's expendable.

Angst.

2010-03-23T21:39:00.002+08:00

NP SSC Sports Camp was awesome. First impression was good. They served to impress, something that I don't see everyday. Besides, it was well organized. Then again I guess it's probably the age gap. Being 18 and 15 surely has its differences.

It was fun. Really. Sadly it rained. They're damn open. Y'know, thrusting and all. Ha. The language used is really different as well. WE ARE YANDAO CHIOBU. Compared to something you get in secondary school. WE ARE THE BEST. Plus, the closest thing we have to clubbing. It's legal. Ha. Mass shaking and bassy pounding beats.

I'm sleepy, and sunburnt.

Sleep.

Zine

2010-03-20T00:08:00.002+08:00

Pfft I'm getting so sceptical and cynical. I keep doubting people. Not those around ,me obviously.

Sports Camp and NP tmr. Ha. 4 days 3 nights. I hope it's fun.

Life without glasses is hard. Day 1. One week to go.

Yielding

2010-03-18T00:30:00.003+08:00

I can't sleep. wth.I was tired as crap just now. Now I'm just wide awake. Sigh. My mind's overflowing.

Xanadu

2010-03-17T22:23:00.002+08:00

Cowardice. Spinelessness. Whatever you call it. Sigh.

What was I thinking. Really.

Hesitation

Weakness

jealousy

2010-03-15T02:23:00.005+08:00

Work was fun. I kinda liked it. Colleagues were cool. It's really different when you're in the service industry. At least from what I expected if you were a waiter, for example. Heh.

Well. Eye candy was more then adequate. M1, Canon, Nokia(?) :D woohoo. Who am I kidding. Makes no difference ha.

Have I been in another world? Cause it certainly seems so. Sigh.

Vole

2010-03-11T00:12:00.002+08:00

I feel a slight tinge of regret. Sigh.

I don't know. Why. Really. There's no reason for any of these. Curiouser and curiouser.

Westone 1 is simply awesome.

I can't get to sleep. Work tomorrow. Bull. IT Fair 2010. Singtel booth. Ha.

Unequivocally

2010-03-10T21:43:00.002+08:00

Before you fire the shot, how about aiming first. Personally I've had enough with your pointless accusations. The rest follow blindly. They speak without first processing the damn thought in their head. Spineless perhaps? Unable to form an unbiased opinion of their own, and basing it on one incident. Honestly, I'm not surprised. I don't see how one time equates to all the time. Really. Unless you only go out once in your life then I'm terribly sorry and I deeply apologize. I doubt that's the case.

I'm thinking of a great deal of things now. Or for the past few.. I don't know. If I haven't been telling you things, I'm sorry. It's either I think that you don't deserve to know or that I just don't intend to say anything yet. I don't believe in telling everyone about someone's problems. One's problems should be kept to themselves, and perhaps just one more person, if that person can help. There's no need for the whole world to know, is there?

I sound haughty. Well, don't read if you don't want to, or feel guilty. I'm at perfect liberty to talk about anything and anyone I wish. I just don't give names.

Work starts tomorrow.

I wanna watch Alice In Wonderland. Pfft.

Temporal

2010-03-08T21:38:00.002+08:00

The best book I've ever read. At least, language-wise. I need more books like this to fuel my addiction.

Today was fine. Supposed to go to Sentosa, but I didn't. Something cropped up. I hope you're fine.

Sigh. I'm so tired.

Seamlessly

2010-03-08T00:34:00.002+08:00

I really loathe sunday morning dreams. They're so lucid and insanely realistic. They tend to be sinister.

I'm reverting back to my old self. The one filled with all the negativity.

Paramore's concert. Gah. I should have went. I bet it's awesome.

Spent the day at Buddhist Fellowship, then at Funan. Inspiring talk, but a tad too late, if I may add. Chasing your dreams. Aptly titled, but for a wrong time. Even so, it may be because I haven't been going regularly. Who can I blame

Sigh I'm hating this.

Raze

2010-03-07T22:51:00.003+08:00

Despite seeing her dark brown hair cascade down her curved and shapely body, the erudite brother suppresses his desire. The resemblance is uncanny. He has felt this before, and experienced its bitter ending. He has foreseen the results, and fears them, as he should. He comprehends that the revelations would shake the very foundations of their relationship. However, the voice of the maiden instantly turns him smitten. Infatuation wrecks his very soul. Unable to come to a decision, he turns his focus onto the one thing that remains.

An old friend returns.

Quelling

"Nothing chews at a man's soul more ravenously than guilt."

Came across this while reading. I'll be damned.

Purgatory

2010-03-07T00:45:00.003+08:00

Sigh. I lost my earphones. Dropped the entire pouch somewhere somehow. It was a birthday gift, bundled with my iPod Touch 2 years ago. Sentimental value. I'm more attached to the earphones then the iPod itself. Shure SE110. No longer in production. Practically waiting the entire day and night for my dad to return so I could break the news. He didn't blame me.

I lost my earphones
How come
I dropped them. Phone in left pocket. Wallet and earphones in right.
Only lost earphones
Ya entire pouch
Only the pouch
No the pouch and earphones
The expensive ones
Ya
Ok

No one to blame but myself. He didn't berate lambaste or even say anything else. He just left my room. I feel so guilty. I'd rather he scream at me.

Insomnia.

I'm down.

Slowly but surely, the pain of a thousand wars adds up. It's all in the mind, they say. All in plain sight, yet hidden to all. The unenlightened souls. The knight of sorrow's breath grows ever stronger, ever ready to strike at the first sign of helplessness. Lurking in the dark, haunting, stalking, waiting patiently, the greatest feast, the meal of all meals. When ties are strained and
scorn strewn aplenty, it knows the time has come. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, the only victor is itself.

2010-03-06T20:46:00.003+08:00

Best left undisclosed. Irreversible damage likely. Severity of the repercussions is unthinkable.

Misguided

2010-03-06T00:28:00.002+08:00

Sigh. Shit happens. When both sides are people you don’t wanna hurt, things get ugly. I realise that when it comes to problems like this, I tend to side with the women. I'm not a chauvinist. As an outsider, you’re able to see things as a whole, and pinpoint where problems arise. Trouble is, how do you bring it up without hurting anyone?

I have a clearer idea of how the female mind works, not a complete one, obviously, but all I can say is that it is unfathomable. Invalid reasons will become valid. Wrongs will become rights. If you really want that person to be happy, do whatever it takes then. If you have to destroy your ego for her, so be it. Put away your damned ego. Think for the poor girl, think like the girl. Place yourself in her shoes. It's not anyone's fault that it doesn't work out. There's just no chemistry/fate/luck/whatever you call it. If it can, it can. Now if you really wanna make a change then start with yourself, otherwise be content with your present situation.

I feel so prophetic. Sage-like. Shit. I need some sleep. 6 hours of sleep a day just makes me feel like I'm going back to school again.

No, I'm not having relationship issues. I'm perfectly fine, thank you.

Gym twice in two days kills you.

Bought 3 new books. 3 for 2 at Borders. The Charlemagne Pursuit by Steve Berry. Golden Buddha by Clive Cussler and Craig Dirgo. Assassin's Creed. Renaissance by Oliver Bowden.

I like thriller books. Mystery books. Crime books. All kinds of books. Reading some literature killer novel a friend lent me. A Fraction Of The Whole by Steve Toltz.

Books based on video games are kinda cool, but so far I've only truly enjoyed the rendition of MGS 1 in paperback edition. I'm hoping Assassin's Creed Renaissance is gonna be as enjoyable as well. Warcraft lore is awesome. New book out. Stormrage by Arthur A.Knaak. It costs 48 bucks. Hardcover. Nearly got it but the price was too steep. Damn.

Live like you're dying. Really. I feel so content with my life suddenly. Then again, it'll probably be back in a day or two. All the worries and insecurities. heh.

Lear

2010-03-04T22:42:00.003+08:00

Whole new perspective. I'm sorry for all I did. I really am. You're unlikely to read this. But still, I feel and see the need to. Guess I never really thought of how you would feel. Being a good friend only benefits one side.

My ego is at stake. Did some research on GPUs. Turns out my Macbook Pro's NVIDIA GeForce 9400 isn't that powerful a GPU now. God I want a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285M SLI. What I'd do for one. Gah. 9400's only.. Mid-Range. Closer to low-range.

Acer 4820TG seems sexy. ATI Mobility Radeon HD5650. Similar to my 4850 for my PC but obviously less powerful. i7 processor as well. Win. I want itttttt. for 1.7k It's a steal.

2010-03-04T11:10:00.002+08:00

My body is more or less screwed. Body clock is.. Australia's timing. My immunity is like an African. Body weight like an American. Size like a Japanese sumo.Mentality like an egoistical Roman emperor. Sigh.

Scrap that. I'm nocturnal. More or less. Frail body also. Down with flu and cough for the past 1-2 weeks. Injured knees. Weak ankles. Aching shoulders and back muscles. I feel so useless and weak. Pfft.

In any case. We're both pissed. Since we have reason to be. They're valid, mind you. You're becoming the person you hate. All the best. I could care less.

Irritant.

2010-02-26T12:57:00.003+08:00

HAHAHAHAHA.

2010-02-23T23:05:00.002+08:00

I foresee another sleepless night. Sigh. I hate being human. I hate having emotions. Hate is a strong word. I'm fully aware that I'm using it, yes. Bull.

I fell today. I think I kind of injured my right kneecap. Fell on my left before, now it's my right. Sigh. On a starcase. I just hope I'll recover and not suffer forever. But then again, even if I'm to never recover, it's just too bad.

I hate my constitution. I'm really flawed. Both physically and mentally. Sigh.

Erudite.

2010-02-23T16:31:00.002+08:00

Training was kinda cool today. Learned about mio home and mio plans.turns out if you have mio home, you can tie your mobile plans to it. 5 lines max. 30% off each line. Best part is my entire family's singtel ha. I sense a large saving. My dad better treat me better.

Sigh. I need to grow some guts.

Facebook is a wonder. Really. LOL. Right..? Heh.

Crippled disguises

2010-02-22T22:50:00.002+08:00

Training for work today. Listening to talks by Singtel people isn't exactly the most entertaining thing to do. But I'll admit. ADSL2+ and stuff like that is kinda cool.

Ugh my stomach. Damn my weak gastrointestinal immunity. Probably made up half the water bill by myself.

note to self: Bring bag, pen, notes, jacket, stomach pills

2010-02-21T12:37:00.002+08:00

Egad.

Gambling sucks. Ha.

I.. tend to get weird dreams on Sundays. I'm gonna have a phobia of lending people books if the dreams keep up. I'm fiercely protective of my books. I kinda bug people about not keeping books in good condition. I don't know. I'm weird this way. Sue me. For some reason half my books in my dreams were tattered and dog-eared. Nightmare. Heh. Well in actual fact I may have half my books in bad condition. Tsk. I was young and ignorant. All books bought 2007/2008 and later are in such perfect condition I can probably sell them back to Popular/Harris/Borders/PageOne/Kinokuniya.

Well I overslept this morning and didn't make it to the gym. Thankfully Clarence overslept as well. Sorry jiahao. I hope he isn't pissed :/They have their survey work anyway. Even if we do go to the gym I have nothing to do afterwards. Pfft. I sense an afternoon at home by myself.

PS3/HK Dramas/Guitar /PC?

Need new books to satisfy my craving

what's after Z?

2010-02-15T23:23:00.002+08:00

LNY was.. not up to my expectations. Not about the angpows anyway haha. Speaking of angpows, somehow two of my relatives missed me out and didn't give me my angpowssssssssssssss. my siblings got though zz. in any case. LNYs seem to be getting more and more boring. Or repetitive. I notice that I've been visiting alot less houses.

I've been eating so much. Damnit. Bagua, love letters, food, food, food. gonna put on alot of weight. bull.

i feel like gambling =/ hah. screw it im getting irrational. need my sleep.

2010-02-14T03:12:00.002+08:00

Well. Happy Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day to everyone. All the best to everyone for everything everytime and everywhere.

Love is in the air. Angpows exchanging hands. Love for angpow in the air exchanging hands.

So I've been out shopping on thursday. Supposed to get some CNY stuff with Kelvin Zijian and Jinying. Went to Bugis. Reached like really late then saw TJ Kaiyuan and Junfeng. Walked round and round and bought a couple of shirts, athletic tape and some Nike RED shoelaces thing.

Took a bus to Orchard/Somerset/Dhoby Ghaut. We walked around that area. Saw this really awesome Adidas X Star Wars kicks. I wanna get it for CNY but well I didn't have the cash nor the permission. Bull. Stormtroopers are hot. Coincidentally bumped into Clarence at Somerset MRT when we were coming home. Came home together and ate some pasar malam.

Thanks eh TJ. Tong Jun, Ronghui and Nickie lol. Random CNY call but well I really appreciate it. Went to Jurong Point to look for my Adidas kicks. They didn't have it. Brother got a shirt though. Watched 72 Tenants Of Prosperity. It's.. lamer then lame. The lamest show I've ever seen really. Entire family was laughing all the way. I nearly died.

Gah I need a haircut for CNY. I think my hair at the back's kinda long and irritating. it makes me look like a hooligan. Gonna rush to the salon for a haircut after reunion lunch at my grandma's place.

sigh. i wanna hit the gym soon. i need more time in a day and in my life.

Life has been a little less bleak. i'm happy for this improvement.

going down to ngee ann poly tmr again. this time i'm bringing my dad along so they better give me someone with authority to speak to, not some random receptionist or clerk.

this song is awesome. look at the whip. lolol. i like their woah ohhh and the brass instrument playing at the back.

omg johnny depp. GG. I'm a fan of Johnny Depp. Along with Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, Heath Ledger. Eccentric people who answer every question with another one. Delightful really.

I'm dead. I kena already. I just turned down an offer for lunch with my family at Sakae Sushi. Then again it's not my fault i'm not hungry. Everytime I go there I'll just binge like some fool.

I was looking for some blogskins then i realised something rather silly. If I DID change to another skin I'd be screwed. haha.

Quote of the week: "I feel giggly" Coming from Clarence. Imagine that.

Fact of the week: "Portsmouth fielded a team of comedians"Jazz.

2010-02-07T12:02:00.004+08:00

Irrational. I hate this feeling. I really do.

I don't wanna become an.. emo momo. In clarence's terms. lol . he's funny haha.

Since I'm feeling so random.

Points to take note of:
1. Life isn't, in any way, fair. Live with it.
2. Whether you're unhappy or furious or just grinning like a goon, it's still time. Don't waste time.
3. Age is just a number. Someone could be 77 and still acting like they're 4.
4. Thinking is good. But not overthinking. Don't become a paranoid loser.
5. Alcohol is best consumed alone. No matter what happens you won't disturb anyone else.
6. Sometimes problems and troubles are best kept to yourself if sharing leads to anyone being offended.
7. Take all the time you want to to think or ponder or mull or cogitate over anything, anyone, anyhow. Cause thinking it through several times is better then regretting it.
8. Stick to your principles.

Had more weird dreams. Rudely awoken by my insufferable brother in his attempt to enjoy lag-free gaming. I went back to sleep and dreamt. Different people in this dream though. It was rather disheartening.

I feel like going out alone to get some stuff. but that would mean lying to my parents. Sigh. I'm unable to comprehend her reticence in me going anywhere or doing anything alone.

sentimental

2010-02-07T02:24:00.003+08:00

I have this nagging suspicion that i'm becoming increasingly random and lame. i've become irrelevant. turning nocturnal as well. sigh. cogitating is horrible when it's done alone.

rational

2010-02-06T13:50:00.003+08:00

I just experienced deja vu. I had like a premonition of typing this as well. Watching bon jovi top 10 vids on MTV and then at number 2 "You give love a bad name". It hit me. I nearly fell off my chair I swear I dreamt of it or sth. The part where Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora crouch and walk with Richie doing the guitar riff.

sigh im still irritated sore and i feeling like a total loser. why did i put aerospace. why why why. regret.

quagmire.

2010-02-06T12:29:00.002+08:00

I just had pretty much one of the weirdest dreams of my life. we were actually talking. heh. i was given a URL. my(sth)sunday. sigh. i forgot what we were talking about. and i made it an extremely strong point to remember the URL when i woke up. dreams will be dreams. it's an adjective i think. i just can't remember the missing word. the dream was nice. really. now im confused and i can't think straight. i just want the missing word. maybe its a sign. i dont know. screw this.

happy birthday mum. had dinner at bottle tree again.

i spent a great deal of time thinking about life in general. about myself, things i've done and haven't. so i've decided on a couple of things.

i will become encyclopedic. my general knowledge will be stockpiled with random trivia and facts.
i will become a walking dictionary, with unsurpassed vocabulary and a superlative command of english.

at least i'll live without regrets in this manner.

i have my own mantra now. cheers.

Do whatever you damn well want to with your life. Just don't do anything that will make you regret doing.

tmd i just found an ant in my room. i killed it

sigh appeal failed. monday gonna be for going down to NP. they better let me change my course.

when the night ends

when darkness turns to light

leave this star-crossed world behind

so hesitation to this life i give

caught between the devil and the deep blue sea

it's all in my mind

and everyone i've loved before flashed before my eyes

and nothing mattered anymore

i looked into the sky

coming down like an armageddon flame

so maybe im cynical

painfully logical

nuances

2010-02-05T15:10:00.003+08:00

why do i have to be so hopelessly fickle.

why did i have to put aerospace, despite fully knowing that my interest would die out

why does NP have to be so obstinate.

why do i have to be so adamant.

cant i just live with aerospace and not ask for business.

why

really

We had a barbecue. It was.. fine, for them I hope. Sigh. I think I worry too much. I'm trying to make sure everyone had food zz. Didn't eat much. Well it was a good thing. One, I get to cut down on the food intake I have. Two, others get to eat more and they don't have to worry. Twofold. Excellent. No sarcasm.

2010-02-03T00:42:00.002+08:00

Balled today. First time in 3 weeks. Balling with cough really isn't good for you. Your mouth is parched and your lungs are practically deflated.

discussed birthday stuff today. sigh. once again my mum goes on and on about how i make it for everyone's birthday and i have to spend it alone. somehow she seems to have forgotten that i spent the day with them last year. i still remember the kuishin-bo last year and it was pretty evident i spent it with them.

It's amazing. How people can be so selfless.

3 verses up. now i need a chorus. maybe another verse.

and on the cold wet dirt i cry.

I really shouldn't have gone for that chinese songwriting competition finals thing. The songs were emotional. What do you expect. Chinese songs. Typical. Some were kinda good. Some just.. I decline to comment.

I'm sorry if I destroyed anyone's mood at soccer today. The conversation I had before soccer hit a raw nerve and pretty much decimated everything I had strived to achieve. No it's not during soccer. Relax guys it's not your fault. Sigh. I'm weak. thought I was over it. Yeah I can joke with everyone about it and how terribly I've failed but still somewhere somehow it kinda hurts. If it weren't for the recurring pain in my thigh I think I would have broke down. I was spacing out so much. This is bull.

I can listen to Yellow for the whole day and not get tired of it. still remains my favourite song as of today for a plethora of reasons.

Appealing. Sigh. would you envision me as a businessman or someone repairing aircraft..? Heck la everyone I know so far tells me businessman, inclusive of my family and myself.

I'm worried my interest for Aerospace Technology is gonna die out. Actually I'm pretty sure it'll die out. Once it dies out, I'm practically screwed. Studying for something you don't like is tough. I'm just worried the 3.5 GPA required for the uni admission won't be motivation enough. I'd really rather just take business straight and go into uni with a desirable GPA.

If the admission for law or psychology wasn't AAA/A I would have considered JC. Just screw Chinese. Pretty much the only things I'm interested in. I'd love to have a career that allows me to deal with people instead of formulae and equations. Law has been pretty much my childhood ambition, until a month ago. I saw NUS's website. AAA/A from JC. Not accepting any students from poly. Bye bye Barrister Lim. Strangely enough, whatever I've considered is the same as what jh's considering. well he's going to a JC. All the best. Hehe.

Btw I think I can kiss my scholarship goodbye as well. Heck. 7 points COP for International Business. Pretty much 40 people confirmed who're better then me. Don't forget the rest who got better or the same. I just hope I get it to the interview stage.

This is a really academic-education-studying-inclined post because I spent the whole day thinking about career prospects. Oh, and soccer. Soccer at The Cage. Pradeep got some friends and asked us along. Well it was fun. I pulled my thigh muscle though, can't kick balls for like a week or so, or until it recovers.

Grim.

Chalet was fun. I didnt like the place though. I found it too lizard-y and creepy for my liking. it was big, i'll give it that, but the place looked like it was out from a horror movie. Now I know where they film horror shows in Singapore. Zz. I swear when I was bathing I smelled blood. Maybe its rust from the pipes. i dont know. freaking me out. I smelled like blood afterwards. at least to myself. Disgusting. Screw the lizards la.

Gambled alot. Poker + mahjong. I think I barely broke even. 2 nights without sleeping. It's horrible. You feel so woozy. Survived the first night barely. slept for 2 hours on some chair in the morning. Survived the second night by drinking tea. Tie Guan Yin ftw. Bought 20 sachets for 1.80. Cheap and wonderful.

Coughing horribly now. I don't know why. I havent drank or anything.

Sorry if I just walked off. Sorry if anyone got pissed. I admit, I get pissed off alot, even more so when I haven't slept in 2 days. All I have to say is that if you can live with it and answer to yourself, i'm cool. Its a matter of responsibility and conscience. I've seen Glen try so hard to keep everything under check and I feel sorry for him. I got invited and I felt a certain responsibility and cleared the area. If anyone of you can sit there and do nothing I'm not gonna say anything, cause I can't, I don't have to and I don't want to. I don't intend to hurt any feelings. Well, to the person who apologised, there's no need to.

Slept in the afternoon and on the bus. heck i dropped my phone twice. I think I slept in a stupid position on the bus. Slept from 1 to 8.

Just watched Law Abiding Citizen with the Qihua people. Gerald Butler and Jamie Foxx are pretty good actors. I liked the plot but not how it unfolded. Certain parts were predictable. The planning was commendable but I preferred Leverage's planning to this. At least its better then Daybreakers. Apparently Kelvin and Ronghui watched and hated it.

Watching a recording. The Killers on MTV World Stage. Copenhagen concert. wth When You Were Young came on and the stage went boomz. Fireworks. Brilliant.

2010-01-15T11:53:00.002+08:00

if I said I didn't care I would be a world-class loser. I hope you're fine. I really do. Good day.
just another guy
part of the same sick little games.

JAE done.
paranoia perhaps
Soundsticks II ftw. Love the subwoofer.
but it's justified
Before it's too late, really? It already is.

I'm happy with my results. At least, or so I think.Nevertheless, all the best to everyone who got their results. It doesn't matter how much you get, as long as you can live with it. If you can, good for you. If you can't, it doesn't matter, because it's not the end of the line. No matter which educational institute you may end up in, you still have a chance to prove yourself. Life still goes on. Walling in self-depreciation or pity won't help. The reason things turned out this way? You can blame yourself, but nothing's gonna change if you don't put in more effort. I've learnt this through countless failures. Berating and hating yourself won't change a thing. move on. Yes, I may not have a right to tell any of you anything, I don't have straight As. But I can live with myself. I know why I got a damn 5 for my POA, cause I didn't work hard enough for it. I'm content. No, don't tell me that I didn't get like 3 Cs and I'm not like any of you out there. I didn't get them cause I studied. I worked. Sure, I don't think I deserve a B for my chinese but somehow I got it. I admit, I got lucky. However, ending up somewhere you don't want to can be a good thing. Look at me, for instance. I ended up in 3/9. Sure I hated it. I hated myself. But I learned sth. You don't ever give up. At least for this matter. Change whatever you can, and whatever else you have left, deal with it. I dropped art for AM. Up till today I still think it's the right choice. Even though I couldn't get into 3/8 to learn AM with a class, I did the next best thing, I learnt it privately. They say beggars can't chose, I agree, though I wouldn't classify anyone I know as a beggar, the logic remains the same. When you don't have a choice, make the best of whatever you still have. I'm through with being depressed. Though I'm not saying that you become emotionless and no longer feel upset, learn to take things easy, take it in your stride.

I have a few good friends of mine who didn't get what they expected, I really hope you're able to learn from this example and move on. Maybe this just isn't your thing, there're many other things in life you can still do. A change of enviroment would probably do you some good. Please, cheer up. Whether you like it or not, the deadline's this friday. You can do and say anything you want, but don't make any more mistakes, you've wasted a chance, now don't waste another.

I just realised yesterday was the last time I was gonna see most of my friends. Sigh. I wish all of you the very best of life in the future.

2010-01-10T15:19:00.002+08:00

Well. OC was fun. Kudos to everyone. Alumni, Main Comm, OGLs, teachers, campers and everyone else who partook in this awesome event.

2010-01-09T23:20:00.002+08:00

walking home alone really provides time for you to think.

i haven't and will not blame anyone or anything. in fact, if someone were to punch me, rob me, steal my prized possessions and valuables or even kill me, i wouldn't be mad at the person.

It's not because im tired.

i'm fine.

but now i really feel like having a good cry

2010-01-04T02:10:00.003+08:00

Ups and downs.

A year has passed. 2009 has been a rather wonderful year. I've made even more friends, learned from past mistakes and opened up my mind. I've understood what it's like to be under immense pressure, what it's like to be in agony, what it's like to be hurt, and most importantly, what it's like to be a damn adolescent growing up. The dreaded Os have passed, the preliminaries have passed, the hardest part of secondary school has passed, the leaving. Having said that, I do miss everyone. Whether you're a cause of pain, harbinger of joy, herald of peace, indie musician or just the class clown. I have memories that I never want to lose. Memories of the place where I spent my 4 most important years of my life as of date. Invariably, there will be more important years later on in my life, but they may not be able to rival this. I've made friends that I'll remember for life. Forged bonds that will stay.Knowledge that will remain.

New Year Resolutions. Despite the fact that I always forget them 2 weeks after making them, I'll still make them.
1. Live life without regrets.
2. Become healthy. Note that I used become and not stay, because I''m simply not healthy.

2 resolutions. Enough for you to know, the rest shall be kept confidential.

Life goes on. People change. I'm no exception. I'm wasting wasted time. Putting it behind me. First time for everything I guess. Including voluntarily throwing it away. Sigh. End the pain.

Lost the inspiration for the song. Again. Then again, came up with another riff to be used, i hope. Otherwise its gonna be an acoustic guitar song.

To all you people with school out there. TOUGH LUCK.

Move along.

2009-12-26T02:01:00.002+08:00

Yesterday has been eventful.

-Had 1cm-thick-of-oil ma la and tom yam steamboat buffet thing.
-I failed in pool.. terribly.
-Ate macs for the third time this week. I'm going to hell really soon.

Merry Christmas. Today has been awesome. At least for the later part of the day.

Woke up in the morning cause my brother opened the door after he woke up and refused to close it. Typical. I just shouted out the room "oi close the door leh" and my mum had to close it. Thank god I'm getting my own room. It was so damn noisy. Got dragged to woodlands cause I was required to pack stuff. Moving back soon. They say it's this week. Lies. Probably next week. Centris is still in a mess damnit.

Woodlands was horrible. I had bball at 1 with the homies but well my dad decided to piss me off and made me carry stuff till 2.30. No I didn't and I won't complain. At least to him. Just because I respect him and I don't want to argue it doesn't mean that I will suffer in silence. Sadly he's losing my respect. But I still won't pick a fight with him. Well he finally earned my respect. Now he's losing it. Too bad for him.

Went for basketball late. It was fun. Haven't touched a ball in god knows how long. Especially when you're playing with your homies. Jinying nearly killed me. Kelvin nearly killed me. But besides that I think I kinda enjoyed myself.

Dinner at Jack's Place. Homie Dinner ahah. First even Homie Xmas Dinner. It was cooool.

12 days of Christmas.. you wish. HAHAHA.

Cavs at Lakers later. We all know the Lakers are gonna win :D Watching Celtics @ Magic now. Boring first quarter. Falling asleep. But nooo I gotta stay awake for the Lakers game haha.

Been sleeping really little this week. I'm likely to spend the entire saturday afternoon sleeping.. at my grandma's place. I doubt she minds. I'll sleep on the couch or sth.

ESPN IS FAIL THEY DONT HAVE THE LAKERS GAME LATER NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2009-12-24T22:37:00.002+08:00

It lives on.

Song in progress. Titled Christmas Rain. Suddenly inspired. Ha. Likely not going to be completed. haha.

Today's today update will be updated someday somehow.

Gonna get some proper sleep soon.

2009-12-22T01:49:00.002+08:00

Musings of an adolescent. Within you find the pains, and the joys, though limited, of a male student.

Yesterday was my brother's birthday. it was the usual brother-birthday-day. He whines and nags. I'm not complaining. I'm just stunned with his behavior. it was bordering on childish. I nearly snapped at him. Nearly. Just because it was his birthday I decided to give him leeway. He can whine. He can nag. But its his birthday and I won't spoil it for him. Happy Birthday, nevertheless.

Lost the bottom part of my retainers. Long story. Gah. Horrible mood. Had dinner. Then I left the retainers on the plate and walked off. Went back after realizing it and they only had my top part left. So I took it, better then nothing. Called my mother to report it. She was not angry, surprisingly. Just told me to check again. Usual stuff. I'm feeling shitty. To replace the bottom part I need to fork out 107 dollars. Though my parents are gonna pay for me I still feel bad.I stupidly lost it. I'm intending to give my GP cheque to them. At least it makes me feel better. Though I still feel extremely retarded for leaving my retainers behind. Next time I'm never gonna take my retainers out. I just won't eat out. Or I'll make sure I have the damn case. Still, last time I ate I still left the case behind on the table. TJ saved my life. He took it for me. Owe him one. There was another time where the exact thing happened. This time my saviors being Kelvin and Huiming. Thank god I have friends. Even so my family reminds me very often.

4 am. i'm feeling crazy. One min I'm feeling crappy and the next I'm fine.bloody hormones. or the lack of sleep. this post is funny. i type it halfway then chat chat chat then type more and chat more. i'm not the only one awake at this unearthly hour.

If there's one thing I've learnt from last week. It's that life isn't a game and that your life isn't a damn movie. You may be wallowing in self-depreciation and pity but someone else may be having all the luck. Sure, you're devastated. You and perhaps your family and close friends knew it. but life goes on. this isn't a movie about your life. I've been telling myself to stay strong. Live with it. Even when you're gone the world continues to evolves and change. Don't read too much into this. This isn't directed at anyone. Even if it is, it's me. Life can be a continual bitch again and again. But I'll live with it. I'll survive.

Time is but a word. It passes relentlessly, regardless of what you call it, and how fast it's measured at. If you don't seize it, you'll lose it.

2009-12-20T02:22:00.003+08:00

Heh it's my brother's birthday. So he's 15. Finally. Heh. Got him a Pissed Off Pineapple shirt I saw the other day (Friday actually).

Sorry Tong Jun =/ Keep canceling stuff. Friday's one was partially because I wanted to get my brother's present and also because I alr promised my friend but stupidly forget about it. And today was just plain screwed. Gah.

it's 2.30 and im awake. probably because i took a nap at my grandma's. now how am I gonna sleep sigh. waking at 7 tmr cause im going back to woodlands to move some stuff. ~~cheap~~ free labour for my dad. But well since it's for the greater good for my family I have ~~little~~ no qualms about doing it.. I hope.

I returned to Woodlands today to check on the house and I found a pleasant surprise in the letter-box. Good Progress Award. Time to woohoo :D Can't collect the money yet though, probably ask my parents for an advance or sth and get a decent acoustic guitar aha.

Got the Fallout Boy album. I got scammed. i thought it was like a LIVE thing. Turns out its the greatest hits and I probably have half of the songs already. On the bright side, I get a free tee that I cannot fit into. It's sized-M. Bull.

cutest shit ever. wanna watch anyone?

Sherlock Holmes as well. :D

wth la i think my glasses are hurting my nose bridge. hurts like hell.

2009-12-15T00:47:00.002+08:00

Heh. 'Today was spent awesome-ly. Spent the day with the best people on earth.' Paraphrase from the convo I had with ronghui haha. Well it was nearly true. Not all that I could have wanted, anyway.

Tempest training in the morning. I overslept. Woke up at 8.30. I'm sorry. But still wasted time is still time. Rushed down asap. Went to pick Zj, Wenkang, Kelvin and Alvin. Alvin.. lol. Guest star for today. Alvin and the chipmunks. Trained at 338 since RP's court is locked and Centris got screwed. Training was ~~killer~~ thriller. tiring. obviously. I think my body has deteriorated since the HK trip. The cold weather probably killed my lungs. Now I have a hunch my asthma's returning zz. Wheezed a little. Maybe it's the lack of sleep I don't know.

Went to meet Rh and Tj after training. Huiming Kelvin Alvin and I. Went to OCC to play pool and bowled a game of bowling. tsk what else lmao. my pool fails now. sigh. Pool is fun, nonetheless. saw lucas there with.. someone that I do not know rofl. My bowling cmi as well lol.

oh shit i just saw. two fat blisters on my first and last toes on both feet.

Tomorrow. Gym + guitar-viewing with Tj and halim.

2009-12-14T00:50:00.002+08:00

Happy Birthday to you people. :D

Been to BFY for the first time in ages. In a year. New faces. New groups. New activities. Whatever. But the one thing's still the same. The talks are informative :)

Four Noble Truths.
1.There is suffering.
2. There is a cause for suffering.
3. There is an end to suffering.
4. The way out of suffering - The Noble Eightfold Path.

it makes sense. yes. but to accept it and change your life isn't easy. This isn't advertisment for buddhism. I don't get paid LOL. i believe I have full rein to express my views on whatever I deem relevant to any topic I can choose.

shit happens. sigh. it isnt just shit. it's shit-in-shit.

Centris just got screwed.

Training in the morning at RP. 830am. Off to bed i go. Wake at up 7am ftw.

Oh. Happy Birthday RH + SQ haha ;)

2009-12-12T01:20:00.004+08:00

Listening to more weird songs nowadays as well. Taylor Swift, Metallica, Radiohead. Ha. I actually find them nice. The Taylor Swift songs are from my sis cause she bought the album and I felt cheap so I took the album and copied it to my computer as well haaha. Metallica was sent to me I think. I can't remember why or how I got it. Radiohead's also sent to me cause of the Rock Band influence lmao.

Oh. The HK pictures. I just transferred them into my new PC. Will be up when i finally decide to trawl through and pick out some. 4GB worth of pics. Someone save me.

Bon Jovi's good too. I bought The Circle. Their latest album.

In Limbo. Heh.

I love my new PC. Everytime I'm happy something has to bring me down. Pfft. Never contented. There are times when I am happy, but not truly happy. Sigh.

Life goes on. Ha. The twitching eye has returned. I wanna play pool. Heh. Supposed to play today but well.. long story. Not surprised actually.

On the bright side I'm happier then I was yesterday.

Attending Buddhist Fellowship Youth service on sunday. Missed the camp cause I was in HK. Haven't been there in a long time heh. At least the other guys are going down. Or else I'll never be there lmao. Harbourfront. Far. Very.

2009-12-08T22:51:00.001+08:00

Hm. I'm bored at home. Yesterday was spent idling at home and soccer at woodlands in the evening. Today was spent in woodlands again.

Tomorrow's gonna be a boring day. Hopefully thursday will be better.

2009-12-05T02:02:00.003+08:00

Returning to Singapore tomorrow. I'm actually overjoyed. I can't wait to get back and play soccer and basketball and whatnot. Oh, and pool.

The trip to Hong Kong , despite many pleasurable moments that I have derived from shopping, was not a happy trip. Did plenty of thinking cause, well, it's a vacation and you're supposed to think. That was bullshit anyway. I just did a ton of thinking.

I think I've matured. I'm not that little dude who's so obsessed with lego and gundam models anymore. In the past I was really nuts over gundam models and lego. My dad went to japan for a business trip and I told him to get me a gundam model for my birthday. He did, in fact. i was bloody elated. Then today we went to this Toys R Us somewhere at Harbour City in Tsim Tsa tsui, which is not very far from where we were residing at. Main agenda for me was to get some clothes, which was.. not similar to what the rest of the family wanted. Nevertheless, my sister wanted some lego (surprise surprise, cause the last time she got it, i had to assemble it for her) and insisted Toys R Us. Went there, and she finally got her Indiana Jones Lego (Don't ask, no flipping idea). My brother got some Star Wars Lego as well. Which also came as a surprise, since he was never much of a Lego fan. I was inclined to get one, since my dad offered, but then I came to realize that the past Lego sets that I've assembled are.. stashed somewhere in my home. Sure you get a certain sense of satisfaction when you finish the assembling, but that's about as far as it goes. My room isn't gonna be spacious, I doubt I have space to display my present gundam models already, to think about getting more. So I just ogled (wrong word maybe) at the models they had, and thought about how good it would look together with the others I have. It was a Destiny Gundam Extreme Burst Mode Master Grade, and putting it together with my Freedom and Infinite Justice Gundam would look totally awesome. Well, self-restraint kicked in and I put the damned thing back onto the rack. It was tempting. I resisted temptation and I'm proud of it. Ha. I'd like to spend that money on more practical things. For example, clothes. Next best thing behind food.

I GET TO EAT JI DAN ZAI AHAHAHHAHA. Egg thing. Think waffles. Pancake. Whatever you call it. That same mix of flour and eggs I think. Made into the shape of eggs. Small egg shaped things. It's nice brown crispy and hot. Excellent in this accursed glacial weather.

My exercising has gone to waste as well. I think I've probably tripled my chance of getting heart disease in this week. I'm eating a lot. Unhealthy food. The Char Chan Teng downstairs has some really good food. Like roast geese and all but.. it's extremely oily. The street snacks are to die for as well. They're delectable and full of flavour. Curry fishballs, spicy barbecued sausages, cuttlefish, pork intestines LOL and the like. Way better then Singapore and her pasar malam snacks. The "Hoi Nan Chicken Rice" that they serve at the cafe tastes better then some stores in singapore, I daresay.

Having said that, I still miss singapore food. Meepok and stuff.

But it's all unhealthy haiz. I've made an oath to myself to just enjoy the food for this week, and once I return to singapore I'll go on a daily regime. Gruelling perhaps, but one that will make me a healthier person. I know my own body.

Oh, and I get a kick when I enter Nike stores to look and they give me a stunned look cause they've never seen the colourway of my Air Force 1 before. It feels good, really. To be wearing something limited edition and then they give you this bewildered look. Hehe.

Since I'm returning to singapore tomorrow, or in about.. 14 hours time, I shall do a quick reflection. Sights were seen. Sounds were heard. Atmosphere was absorbed. Home is still the best. I miss my friends. I miss my home. I miss playing soccer in Fushan. I miss playing basketball in Centris/806/anywhere. Sigh. Hong Kong is fun, to say the least. If you're able to put aside all your worries and reservations, and to just enjoy the time you have now with your family then it would be fun, I assure you. Don't think. haa. The food is nice, affordable. Know where to go. Given a choice, Disneyland > Ocean Park. Ocean Park's a bloody tourist trap. 9 dollars for a bowl of char siew rice. Ripoff. Disneyland.. fine it's a tourist trap as well, but the parades and fireworks make it worth it. The fireworks alone are worth going. They're beautiful. The weather's pretty good, no rain at least. It's really nice in the day cause you definitely don't sweat. But at night and you wanna take a shower or sth, you're gonna freeze. It's cold, but bearable. Wear socks or something. I refuse to look stupid therefore I'm suffering.

To be in a foreign land and having plenty of regrets takes its toll.

When i get back home, first thing I'm gonna do is to cut my damn nails.

Sorry if I'm not on track. I'm cranky. I slept at 5am last night, thanks to msn. Spent the whole day out and shopping and walking and listening to people bitch about how far we've walked and how they wanna go back to watch some award show in cantonese by cantonese people which is a bloody repeat. In other words I'm tired and slightly put off. Just slightly, cause the picture on my screen saver made me laugh when I came out of the shower. That's the thing I love about macs, the screensaver can be set to be entirely random, just something in your file directory of pictures.

speaking of pictures all the pictures are in my sis's computer. damn.

3am. I'm turning nocturnal.

2009-12-04T04:07:00.002+08:00

Woke up late today. Heh. Couldn't sleep last night. Can't sleep now.

Went to the Giant Buddha thing near.. Ngong Ping or sth. Pictures in my sister's DSLR.

It's freezing. Numb toes and fingers. Brr.

2009-12-03T03:59:00.000+08:00

WTH.

I just saw this.

2009-12-03T02:14:00.002+08:00

As promised. Yesterday. Or, the first of December. The trip to Disneyland.

Well it went as planned, that is if anything was planned. Got tons of pictures but they in my sister's laptop, not my macbook. Disneyland was re-experienced, in a sense. I've been to HK Disneyland two years ago cause I was in HK then. This time was no different, except for the Christmas/Winter parade they had and the fireworks. You'll never get bored of the fireworks.

Souvenir picking was horrible. Didn't know what to get. So I got X for X. Yeah. Let's just keep it at that. You worry about offending so many people. Heh.

Fireworks were.. well indescribable. Unable to describe it in words. One of the few rare awesome things in life that need to be experienced to be understood. A Whole New World is pretty much one of the highlights. Transcendental piece of music.

Oh yeah, the people working at Dland also gave guests this cool eye-glass thing. It's a piece of cardboard with two pieces of plastic at where the eyes are supposed to be. Yeah it's cheap, but it's awesome. You look through it at night and.. well you see something. Fireworks look even more beautiful. Christmas lighting turns even more christmas-sy. I won't tell what it does. If I have the chance I'd like to be able to show it myself. It amplifies the mood, to sum it up.

I believe that HK Disneyland is probably designed by Freemasons. For example, the door at the Disney PhilharMagic (pun on philharmonics) has 13 notes, not including rests. The music kind. The doors are actually staves. All three sets of doors have 13 notes. Furthermore, the two laurels that Mickey is seen standing on also have 13 leaves each. In many places, Mickey also does the Hand Of Mysteries, in which the thumb and index finger create a V, not unlike a 'gun' that small kids do, with the other fingers pointing back downwards. The index finger points skywards. This hand is also seen in The Lost Symbol, read it yourself I won't spoil it for you but it does play a significant role. I took a look in glassware shops, the sorcerer mickey is nearly always seen with his index finger pointing skyward and the thumb parallel to the ground. Hand of mysteries much? The number 13, the number of letters in E Pluribus Unum, another factor that was mentioned in the book. I actually have more examples but I can't remember them now. Just a theory. Heh. Influenced by Dan Brown. Bloody brilliant writer.

Oh, I finished The Associate. Another wonderful book. Finished it just. Two days. Not bad, considering I was out for the most of it. 'Legal Thriller', literally.

The food in Hong Kong is simply awesome. Zi Dan Zai and whatnot. all the snacks. I'm having supper for 3 consecutive days. Putting on weight probably. but then again maybe not since the weather's so damn cold i'm using up the energy to keep myself warm.I actually turned the air-conditioner off since it was making me even colder, somehow.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS WRITTEN TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. If Rowling or any official spokesperson has made any statement or this is clearly just a mis-reading by me, then I am not held liable. If you are such a Potty Potter fan and cannot tolerate any flak then do not read this.

In retrospection, I think that the Harry Potter series was just a fluke by J.K Rowling. Sure, the first 3 books weren't popular to begin with. Besides, the first book was the foundation of the entire series. In my honest opinion I find that it had many loopholes which were desperately tried to be covered up by Rowling.
For example, the main plot.
Book 1: Voldermort rises, Harry's first encounter with wizards.
Book 2: Voldermort lurks in Hogwarts (somehow, unclear how, just a silly library), and a secret chamber was supposedly built.
Book 3: Sirius Black (Who the hell is he) appears, Voldemort seemingly takes a break and is hardly mentioned. Time-turners(never mentioned ever in the series, futile attempt by Rowling to include time-travel into the wizarding world.) Remus Lupin appears suddenly as well. Werewolf, Marauder's Map, and Peter Pettigrew.
Book 4: Goblet of fire. Apparently there ARE wizards in other countries and they have a Qudditch World Cup that takes place like soccer, once every four years. If that was the case, what happened in Harry's First year? No mention of the cup AT ALL, if it was really such a huge event. Once again I view this as a futile attempt by Rowling to insert fillers and redundant characters.
Book 5: Order Of The Pheonix appears. if they really were that effective what happened in the first four years? Lupin and Sirius were present at least in the third year, no mention of the Order, or the lengths they have gone to to protect Harry.
Book 6: First mention of a Horcrux.]
Book 7: Unrealistic. What luck. Destroying the world's most dangerous enemy in a lucky duel? Sure, some weird wizarding rules occur that not even Dumbledore is aware of. If there really was such magic that was considered 'uncharted' then I think that it really is a poor attempt at explaining herself.

To sum it all up, I no longer think that Harry Potter is 'all that'. Sure, it makes good reading once in awhile but when you really start to think of it as a whole, the plot isn't as fluid as some other sagas. Oh, film adaptations are horrible, really.

It's freezing now. Numb fingers. I adjust the thermostat PAST 30 degress Celcius and I'm still chilled. Sheer cold much. The good thing about the weather is that you don't sweat. If you really want to you can probably go a week without bathing and won't smell bad. If you're able to live with all the germs and bacteria and whatever-it-is that dwells you-know-where.

3.45AM. the joy of the internet. I sidetrack so much and I can't even complete a simple post.

Today was spent on Lanma Island. Didn't really like it, did far too much walking for a holiday. okay fine I dont mind walking, but just mindless walking isn't my thing. Lanma Island is basically an island off the coast of HK, take a 30 mins ferry ride at fixed times to any of the two ports at Lanma Island. Went to the southern port, forgot the name. Sok Kwu Wan or something. Trekked up the mountain for a fair bit of distance, in jeans and a hoodie. Wasn't expecting to go trekking. At least there was a path for us to walk. But nonetheless I didn't enjoy it much cause my dad was being stubborn. It was evidently the wrong way but he insisted in walking and we pretty much ended up far away from our intended route. Backtracked and returned to the port instead. Had some seafood for lunch at 4. It was damn good. Garlic + garlic + garlic. Don't know why but I'm not complaining.

I daresay the food in HK is far better then whatever you'll find in singapore. Except for maybe a few dishes. Meepok, laksa and the like.

Headed to some shopping district thing. Went to HMV, bought shirts (yes you read right) at HMV. They practically sell nearly everything. I thought HMV was just music CDs, well I was wrong. They sell calenders, music cds, games, earphones, books, movies, even shirts lol.

I think I've bought alot of clothing already ha. But then I always feel as if I'm lacking shirts to wear. I only bought shirts. One from disneyland, two from some Nike shop and two from HMV.

Tomorrow will probably be spent at the Buddha statue. I don't know what that place is called but i'll update tomorrow night when I get back. 4am atm. I knew I shouldn't have drank the starbucks coffee.

2009-12-02T02:29:00.002+08:00

I'm awake, this means one thing. I'm hooked onto a book. The Associate by John Grisham. Borrowed from Toa Payoh's library. Shall update tmr about today. Or rather shall update tonight, about yesterday and today.

Keypoints, just in case I forget:
-Disneyland.
-Souvenir-picking and the perils that come with it.
-Awesome food at the char chan teng near the hotel that I'm staying at.
-Conspiracy theory about Hong Kong Disneyland being designed by Freemasons. (inspired by The Lost Symbol, and I have a good deal of speculation that happens to coincide.)
-Fireworks
-Cool hologram eyepiece thing.
-My thoughts on the Harry Potter and Twilight series.
-How the actor that played Cormac McLaggen in the Half-Blood-Prince will turn out to be the new heart-throb 3 years down the road in a not-so-new fantasy novel/saga that just happens to be made into a movie that comes from popularised genres in an unconventional mixture. ALA TWILIGHT and RPAT. (tbh i condemn Twilight)

Back to the book. Halfway through. Law. My once lofty ambition to be a barrister is seemingly rekindled, despite Grisham's bleak portrayal of being in the law sector.

Snooker's on tv. Snooker is cool. But pool's way better hehe. Snooker's hard to play.

2009-11-30T23:35:00.002+08:00

Went to Ocean Park today. I have plenty of pics but.. it's a sony camera and my MacBook doesn't support the sony MS Pro Duo. It's an SD slot reader, not a sony MS card reader. Screwed, more or less. Only got space for 91 more pictures and after that I'm camera-less. Unless I get another card somewhere. Nevertheless, my sis brought along her brand new DSLR. Nikon D700. Its quite awesome. Don't know why my dad bought it for her last saturday but still it's cool. I especially love the click whenever a photo is taken. It's a masterpiece.

Ocean Park was crowded, obviously. I now declare that I am racist. Towards.. my own race. I don't want to stereotype but that's the impression that I've received. They push and shove without a second thought. They cut your damn queue when you don't notice, and even if you do notice they still do it regardless. They've no qualms about leaning their shoulders and body on you even when you don't have any relation to them. This dude was resting his shoulder on me. The fact that I had an injured shoulder didn't help.

Went to Jumbo floating restaurant thing. It's this really huge floating restaurant. A boat, in other words. A restaurant on a damn boat. Something like a cruise ship, just that you need to take another small boat to get the this huge floating restaurant. Mark my words, it's huge. Both the size, and the price. Stupidly went into the Dragon Lounge thing. We saw the prices and lost our appetite. Ordered a little. 3 dishes. Geese, fish and broccoli. But I have to admit, the service is commendable. They're very meticulous and refill your tea the moment the cup's dry.

Shopped at Times Square after dinner. Tong Lou Wan, or Causeway Bay. Man I gotta brush up on my Cantonese. I can only say a few words zz. I can't communicate. Honestly I find Cantonese to be a very.. refined language. That seemed to be the wrong word. Perhaps a more apt term would be uncouth, as compared to hokkien. Now, Teochew really sounds refined, my mum and her family speaks teochew. My dad and his family speak Hokkien. My sis' interested in Cantonese dramas. The joy of having 3 dialects under one roof. Cantonese's fairly new though. A year, give or take. Practically grew up speaking Hokkien everyday, and Teochew every Saturday.

Hokkien : Ba Gua
Teochew: Ba Poh (rofl not gay, but the barbecued pork that Chinese people eat during CNY.)
Cantonese: No damn idea.

In the very least, the hotel has Discovery Channel and Nat Geo, Nat Geo wild, Nat Geo Adventure. Dirty Jobs on now =D Oh, and taking a taxi in HK is cheaper then taking the train LOL.

Disneyland tomorrow. The happiest place on earth, as they say. I can always say 'Been There, Done that', but now that wouldn't do me any good would it? I just hope they've changed an attraction or two since the past 2 years.

I really type way too much these days. But I'm bored and stuck in the hotel room does me no good. I'm afraid to start reading the books I just got cause I know if I really like it I'll be reading till like 3-4 in the morning. shitified.

2009-11-30T00:50:00.002+08:00

Hectic day. Woke up at 12 cause I refused to get out of bed at 8, 9.30 and 11am. Had this awesome dream so I kept going back to sleep. Surprisingly the dream continued. it was about.. a total of 3 people. the food court but strangely no food involved, and the library. It's set in.. a mall that's very familiar but I haven't been to. Dream-mall, in a sense. Seen in another dream. I think I'm going crazy. That's what you get when you stay up playing Xbox and PS3 for the past week. There's nothing to do at Centris. I'm lying about nothing to do. Ha. I'm spoilt for choice.

Despite getting out of bed at 12, I only 'woke up' at about 1. After I ate my 3 hours overdue breakfast and washed up. Took a shower and went downstairs to get some takeaway for my brother and I cause we were hungry. Taxi was coming at 3 and I got the food at 2pm. smart. Furthermore I went to 'say hi' to my friend working at fairprice. only got up at 2.30. Practically swallowed my meesua and did some last min packing. I conveniently forgot my retainers. If my teeth go back to being 'un-straight' I won't live with myself. It's till Saturday. Bless me.

Clambered onto the taxi at 3 and set off for the airport. Checked in, etcetera. Got Fifa 10 at the store inside Terminal 3 cause there's no GST. It's an excuse to convince my dad to get it for me hahaa. Got a couple of books from Times as well. I love reading. If I had the resources, I would have a personal library built only for myself. I'm very anal when it comes to my books. I don't like it when people bend the book so far out that they spoil the spine. If it's a hardcover book then I can't comment. If it's a paperback novel then you're not touching my books. At least, for the more recent buys. Past 2-3 years. That was when I was getting really meticulous about my books. I'm rather amused by my quirky needs. In fact I'm not the only one who doesn't fold spines. I daresay I know at least 3 people who read their book 'carefully' as well.

Got onto the plane at 5.20. Give or take. Watched Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince on board the in-flight entertainment thing. They finally revamped it. Last year when I went to America the interface sucked. I'm quite happy they changed it. SIA ftw. Some prick's shining a laser pointer into my hotel room from downstairs. Green laser. Lightsaber much.

Reached HK airport at 10. Give or take again. Cleared immigration, then my dad got us transport to the hotel. Reached at 12. God. Nearly fainted when I saw the reception. It was damn stylish but also bloody small. It's like a stark contrast to the buildings nearby. And.. The toilet will kill you. The room's really nice and cosy. But the toilet.. LOL. If you wanna know ask me next time it's really hilarious. It's nice and clean. Pretty clear as well. if you catch my drift. clearrr. ;)

thank god i brought my macbook. There's an Ethernet port in the hotel haha.

i might not be typing coherently and it might be hard to comprehend whatever i'm sending across. it's cold and i'm freezing. adjusting thermostat.

http://kotaku.com/5304298/nba-2k10-collectors-edition-needs-shaq-to-carry-the-load this looks so awesome. I won't get it though. Nowhere to put it. Heh.

Eyelid still twitching. Been like this since saturday now it's getting irritating. once in awhile my eye 'involuntarily winks', in the terms of halim.

2009-11-28T01:49:00.002+08:00

And so Wednesday was spent rather happily. Or not. Zijian was late. The whole world shall know because that infidel was unrepentant and refused to admit his mistake. mwaha. Met up with Yihui and waited for zijian to rear his face. Lucas, Yoshi, Benedict and Eden popped out. Turned out they were all going to pool, same place that we were. So thank you, Zijian, if it weren't for your tardiness we wouldn't have met them. Orchid Country Club. 3 hours for 15 bucks. Quite pocket-worthy but the table's not exactly the best you'll find. A little too smooth for my liking. Pool was the usual. Few lucky shots here and there. Man I'm beginning to love pool. It relieves stress, to a certain extent. So long as I don't have to scream like Yoshi going 'WHY WONT THE BALL GO IN K I SHALL QUIT POOL' i'm quite content. Had Ishi Mura for dinner. Northpoint. Near OCC what'd you expect. And.. SPINNING KICK. LOL. I swear I've never laughed so much in a long time. Ben's stupid antics. Racist bastard.

Yesterday was wasted sleeping. More or less. Went to the temple in the morning. 2nd anniversary since my grandfather.. passed away. Headed to have timsum for brunch with a couple of cousins and relatives. Got a few books from the library at toa payoh. yes you heard me right. we just happened to go there for brunch and so I thought I would get some books from the library. Got The Associate by John Grisham, and two books on basketball plays trainings and stuff. Grandmother's house afterward cause my cousins went and my sis wanted to go. Fell asleep on the couch for a good 3 hours LOL. Woke up. Read Twilight that I kinda borrowed from my cousin. I can now proudly say that I am not in the least captivated by its story. Sure, it was cool. But I will not squander my time imagining to be some lovelorn soul in a lonely world with no friends and suddenly to fall for a vampire. No way.

Today.. Hehe. Spent the morning sms-ing and playing a little xbox. Last min bailout of the Sentosa outing with cousins + sis. I was too tired to crawl out of bed. I apologise. I don't like the Underwater World anyway. Besides, if I'd gone today I wouldn't have met Tong Jun, Ronghui + his special somebody and Ling Mei at JP today. What luck indeed. I was walking back to my apartment after lunch and I saw them go up the escalators, I was going down. haha. Turns out, they were at JP because they had a friend working there. i don't know if i'm supposed to disclose this so I am not naming anyone. Better safe than sorry. In any case, they came up for abit, looked around the small apartment, laughed at my pathetic bed, and played a little basketball before it rained and we all bailed. They went back down to Jurong Point and I headed upstairs to get ready for pool with my dad and brother. My dad booked pool at Centris itself for an hour. Despite the fact that he's never played pool, he still beat both me and my brother zz. Yeah I'm horrid but not that horrid. After my 'interrogation' I uncovered the truth. He played snooker and not pool zz. So he knew about 'cutting' the balls and stuff. Damnit.

Ate dinner at Fish & Co. Got a free Kola Tonic. I was served a raw dish and after I brought it up, they promptly replaced it with another course of my liking. I liked the service. The grilled calamari that we ordered was probably double the portion. Awesome much. I swear the grilled calamari is awesome everyone should try it. Got complimentary fries as well. It was quite cool ah. service is excellent hehe. My brother was kinda impressed as well. My dad? struggling with his sambal fish haha. It was real huge and spicy.

I got Assasin's Creed II. HA. Win. But.. Hong Kong in 2 days. Or rather, tomorrow to be exact. It's past midnight. I don't get to play much =( I don't even wanna go haiz. I would prefer Taiwan. Or perhaps just Malaysia or something just to shop and eat haha. I've already been to Hong Kong sigh. If I do go to HK Disneyland it'll be to get souvenirs ha. I think I took every ride there already. On the bright side, the hotel as wi-fi so I can bring my macbook there haha.

'QUITE COOL AH'. It's more BOOMZ then boomz.

Wordy and full of balderdash. Blarney filled updates of my insignificant life. Heh. Blanc. Blanc. Blanc. Gah.

2009-11-25T11:53:00.002+08:00

Took the internet cause my brother's out. Only one LAN cable in Jurong. No router. Hubstation much. 1mbps is enough for my usage, considering I can't play any games now. Yes I've bought my desktop but still I can't set it up when I'm going overseas next week. It'll be a waste. Furthermore there's only one slot for the Ethernet cable.

Effectively is not exactly how I spent my time.

I practically wasted sunday. Spent the morning watching television then played a little basketball on sunday. Trained a bit on free throws, but got interrupted cause another dude came down and asked to join me. Surprisingly.. I beat him in 1v1. He's another 16 year old from Jurong Town SS or sth. I don't know how I beat him seriously. Probably lucked through all 3 rounds. Wth la. Obviously Horse and ABC were for his taking. Hit the gym afterwards. Went to a dinner in the evening/night. Relative's 40th wedding anniversary.

Monday was spent on Tempest training. Basketball again. First Tempest training of the year. sadly it drizzled and the court was too slippery for us to do circuits and stuff.. not like we had the stamina to LOL. Did alleys. There was probably 500 in total. Goal was to hit 100 consecutively. 11 of us. Man we nearly died. My knee acted up again. sigh.

Aha. Tuesday was fun. Dragon boating. Got myself tanned again. bloody sun. Kudos to Yihui for the last min invite lol. Aching muscles. There's so much I wanna say but I can only say them in my head eh. Mont quadrilaterals. They were nice.

Pool and bowling later probably. Hope I have energy haha.

dreamt of sth. about this site. nevermind. sadly nothing happened. a dream stays a dream.

A cruel hand I have been dealt with indeed. Perhaps it was my own doing. Can't ask for more.

2009-11-21T01:46:00.002+08:00

Moving to Jurong tomorrow. Centris. For about 3 weeks while my present house undergoes renovation. If anyone wants to drop by or sth gimme a message haha. Basketball court + Jurong Point for the win.

Still, Jurong isn't THAT far from woodlands. around 11 stops on the MRT. 9 to jurong and 2 to boon lay. Yeah Centris is at Boon Lay, cause Jurong Point's at Boon Lay. So I STILL can attend outings haha. I just needa leave earlier.

I'm looking forward to hitting the gym every morning. Then train my basketball or sth. That's provided if I'm free though. Crap. And.. my guitars and piano aren't gonna be moved. I'll be bored. Real bored. They'll be in my room. It's already been renovated during the O Level preiod LOL. At least my future room. Renovation's for the rest of the house. Living room, hall, parent's room, present room and study room. 2-3 weeks I guess.

Hong Kong trip in the first week of December. Leaving on.. idk when and back on 5th Dec. Can't make it for Homecoming cause the flight touches down at 7.50pm. Planes drag alot. Immigration clearing's a bitch as well. Sigh. Missing my first ever Homecoming as an ex-Riversidian. But wellll i'll be there next year =D

Knowing it is one thing. Doing it is another. How to do it is another.

Like in The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. The secret lies not in death, but in fact, the secret is how to die.

Apt. There is only so much knowledge can do. heh.

Nights.

2009-11-21T00:34:00.002+08:00

Managed to do my last min shopping at G2000 in the morning haha. Borrowed my dad's Omega watch and left for prom.

Outfit was a black shirt with cufflinks, a black blazer, a pair of pants, all from G2000. a red tie from Topman, a belt from Levis and shoes from Black Hammer. Total cost.. No idea LOL. dad paid for the shirt shoes and blazer, since only those were bought on the day itself. The rest were bought seperately. I kinda look like a hotel manager or sth. Mafia Head. Bouncer. Bodyguard. Yeah that outfit practically fits anything.

Prom Night was cool. Took my dad's car down to meet the rest. Waited. Walked around. Went up despite's Melody's and Ling Mei's warnings that we couldn't enter the room yet. Sorry heh. But nonetheless everyone was there still. Took some pictures. It was a bit of a shocker. The reception area was tiny. Got a pair of earphones as doorgifts. Audio Technica. Not bad. I checked the price online. I couldn't help it k. They cost roughly 20 SGD perpiece. Since they bought 240+ in bulk maybe they got it for around 15perpiece? Well it depends on their bargaining skills and stuff right. in anycase, i'm quite happy with the door gift. At least it's practical. Then again, I wouldn't have minded a mug or sth.

Chatted. Walked around. The doors opened and we swarmed in. Took table 1 haha. Couple of pictures on facebook. Played this SMS game thing. TBH i think the emcee was doing abit of self-promotion LOL. He effectively gave all of us his phone number, though he didn't tell us that he would be free in the future or sth. But yeah he gave all of us his handphone number. Subliminal message much.

Had the international buffet. The prawns were nice. Chicken was nice. Fish was gooood. The duck was just plain weird LOL. Creme brulee wasn't creme brulee haha. Hamon. Not salmon. Smoked salmon. Tasted like ham. Hamon. Credits to Aaron for his mispronunciation.

This Jeremy Tan guy performed some magic tricks. He was good. Practically captivated all of us. Gotta admit though, the part where the numbers appeared in the trunk without him touching is was rather expected. Guess he got quite disappointed that we didn't cheer as much haha. It was awesome, regardless.

Played a couple of games. Don't Forget The Lyrics and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Found out that Miss Mendy Kok was an ex-riversidian, the school songs has 84 words and some other stuff, some that i already knew, and some which were new. The prizes were towels LOL.

Went to play pool after prom night. Cineleisure. Played till 4am then walked to Macs for breakfast. Got the first train back. Showered. Slept at 8am to 6pm and left for Qihua for their annual concert thing.

Thankfully my stomach didn't go crazy during prom. It went crazy after though. When I reached home, it was hell.

57 pictures. and i'm only posting 7. ha.

Me and TJ hehe. I'm his bodyguard k. Please keep a 5 meter radius away from my client, he needs his fresh air to breathe. Thank you. A step closer and I will be forced to tase you.

group photo. homies + glen

2/5 haaha

Dr Ho. He looks smart hehe. I borrowed his 'AVIATORS' so i lent him my glasses lor.

mafia head.

black market dealers LOL.

'The Associate'

2009-11-18T08:03:00.002+08:00

Hmm. Met Huiming and Jinying at 11am. Waited till 11.30. Took a train down to Bugis to check out some stuff for prom. Looked around. I got a red Topman tie and Huiming got a white Topman $ belt. LOL. Well I would have gotten it but.. didn't have my size meh. Met Choon there. Surprise surprise. he was there for some telemarketing surveyor job thing. and he was alone aww.

Heard that Yoshi Paul Lucas and some people were meeting at Orchard and heading to Far East to get some stuff. Left at 2-3plus. Met the rest and walked around. Window shopped at Converse. Got a Levi's belt for 29.90. I'm regretting it though. I prefer the other belt but it's.. expensive. I'll convince my parents to get it or sth. After all I won't wear it only once. Got a pair of G2000 pants for $39. My dad's a member actually. But I needed to alter the pants so I had to get it early.

Went back to Bugis cause Paul Hm and Jy needed the rest of their stuff. window shopped again. didnt get anything this round. Nearly got stranded cause of the rain zz. Damnit.

My god. Jy IS a master. he got all his stuff for prom in under an hour LOL. Compared to the amount of time the rest of us took, he's damn awesome.

Rest of the prom stuff (Shirt + Blazer + MAYBE shoes) to be bought on thursday when my dad comes back. Hehe he's gonna get with me. Someone to pay LOL.

Reached home at 8+. Ate. Showered. Met Lucas, Yoshi, Benedict, Jasmine and Pei Shwen to watch the meteor shower thing. They ate at macs, I watched. Left at 11.30 for Chinese Gardens.

Sat there and waited. Waited. Waited. Met up with llsh, eugene, jiahui and wencong. then moved and waited. waited. waited. moved and waited. waited. waited. SAW.

(HOW TO SURVIVE) A METEOR SHOWER EVENT.
- Don't have high hopes. The people I was with only caught a maximum of 9 sightings. I got 5. I'm content.
- Don't lose track of the skies. I sms-ed and didn't look up. Missed a couple of sightings.
- Don't bring a phone with a battery that's nearly dead. Ya can't sms.
- Don't buy the $8 groundsheet thing. It's so small and not worth it. Bring your own.
- Don't scream out in shock. Cause I think I nearly killed the other 3 guys by screaming OHMYGODOHMYGODBEHINDGOTSHOOTINGSTAR when they were getting freaked out by a bunny-cloud. Yes, the bunny-cloud IS scary.

- DO get a pillow or a cushion.
- DO go on days with dry weather. The wet terrain is irritating and I slipped thrice. Fell once. ha.
- DO bring your own drinks. A can of pepsi for 2 bucks. I refused to buy. Okay cause my stomach wasn't well but still, bring your own.
- DO keep your eyes peeled. The meteors are.. fast obviously. They just streak across the sky in 1 second, or less then that.

IN a nutshell, the meteor shower gazing thing was kinda cool, but we got freaked out. By.. clouds. I swear the images that the clouds formed were slightly demonic. It's was outright freaky. The last one probably nearly had us in tears, fear, not joy. Strangely only us 4 guys were afraid and not the 2 ladies LOL. The rest probably didn't realise.

Left at 7am or so for the mrt station. Met Kaiyeat, Renfred, Jiayi and a whole other bunch of people there. They were there meteor-gazing but we didn't meet up with them though. MRT-ed back. Home now. just showered. Heh.

Taking a lil nap now before I get my pants for prom altered and meet some of the pri sch people for bowling+pool. GG if I keep this up i'm running out of money. Need a job asap =/

Little snippets of happiness inbetween LOL. mwahahahahaha. First in a month? more or less. heh.

2009-11-16T02:15:00.002+08:00

Earthshaking revelation. LOL. god. I never would have expected it. all the best and grats.

2009-11-14T15:26:00.003+08:00

Y'know. Packing for the renovation can never come at a better time. I was clearing my cupboard and I found many things collected from my seecondary school years. Yes, I can finally say that now that I've graduated. I have witnessed many transformations. Apotheosizes , if I can say so myself. These ramblings shall be posted in another time.

2009-11-14T00:35:00.002+08:00

past experiences have left me humbled, broadened my perspective and completely changed my definition on certain terms and processes.

2009-11-14T00:22:00.004+08:00

Gym was.. exhausting. Went with Michael and Ziyang. I don't know if it's due to my lack of sleep or it's just that my physical condition has deteriorated a lot. Sigh. At least Centris has a gym. Gonna be hitting it every morning.. provided I wake up at a reasonable hour and I have no plans. I'll be staying there from next saturday for about 2-3 weeks till the renovation in the woodlands home is completed. Then I'll have my own room.

The steamboat buffet dinner was alright. Special people: Nico and Foo Yong. Special cause they don't really go out with us very often haha. Everyone else.. Yeah been seeing more of them or have already been seeing them quite often to begin with. At least it went rather smoothly. More or less. Murderer was fun. At least some variation when you're playing with different people. Sigh Choon Heng's question got me thinking. Screw Truth Or Dare. Now I'm slightly depressed.
no i'm not over it and i don't know what to do.

want a haircut lol. actually. bordering on a need now. Prom. Now that I think about it, I'm not looking forward to Prom as much as I thought I would. In fact, I'm not. At least for now. Sigh.

2009-11-12T23:16:00.002+08:00

Balled at Centris again. Gotta admit, it feels damn good. Sadly it rained.

Gym tmr morning with michael, dinner with the primary school people. sigh. unconditional conundrum.

2009-11-12T13:36:00.001+08:00

Hello Jmac.

2009-11-12T01:46:00.002+08:00

Well. First of all, thanks to Lok Shing for getting us 50 tickets to 2012. Even though he could have sold off the tickets for a profit.. he didn't. Hehe thanks =D

SPOILER ALERT.

2012 was.. rather mind-blowing. At least graphics wise. the plot had loopholes. like how that fool managed to climb up the ravine. or why he swam back in the water in the ark.

But nonetheless. It was free, awesome and a brilliant end to 4 years of education.

NOW THAT THE O's ARE OVER. I have so many things i wanna do. (in no order)

1. Lose weight.
2. Play basketball
3. Play soccer.
4. Master the guitar.
5. Get familiar with the piano again. (5 months since i last touched)
6. write my damn song(s)
7. Volleyball hee.
8. get a job or sth?

Yeah. More or less. However, some.. other things might not be stated. It's either they're impossible to accomplish, or i forgot.

I'm gonna wear my uniform for the last time. Go to school to take my last paper. Probably see some people for the last time until I get my results. That is, assuming we all survive till then. Lasts. Sigh.

msn on mac is screwed.

sigh. twinkies for you? thought experiments.

screw Murphy and his damn law.

brooding. mulling. contemplating. sigh.

the fan blades on the ceiling spin but the air is never cold.

it's okay to be angry and never let go. it only gets harder the more that you know

it's been a long time.

maybe someday i'll see you again and you'll look me in my eyes and call me your friend

Played basketball yesterday at Centris. It was awesome. loved the court. Well, playing there for the first time does have its perks when you go there with a huge bunch of friends. Probably going there again soon. Nobody plays at the court there. It's really nice, no 'next team' and shit. Furthermore it's a new court with net.

Anyhow, Man Utd lost to Chelsea. 1-0. Bollocks. The ref was blind. went to Joel's house to watch it with him and zj. Following that, went to Kelvin's house for some mahjong till 4, then Zombieland and zj's house till 6+. Reached home at 7. Showered. Slept. Woke up at 3. Ha.

Mulling.

the chalice is cursed.

i've been poisoned. a hole in my heart. i'm not alone in this. we just drank from the accursed chalice. so it seems, the blade does not overpower the chalice. a reason to lament. i need some time to recover. it'll take awhile. perhaps, i might never even make a complete recovery.

cryptic communiques, therein lies another nuance. yes, i admit, i did cry.

I feel pathetic. I wish I could feel apathetic. It's not exactly unexpected. Besides it's the second time I've heard it. Yet I still feel the same way. Ignorance and apathy would go best and complement each other, but sadly I am not granted the gift of possessing both.

2009-11-02T01:13:00.000+08:00

I'm under a tremendous amount of pressure. Yeah probably 512315th time i've said it. 3rd post in one night. just shows how insane im getting. i cant sleep. screw this. really.

2009-11-02T00:43:00.003+08:00

Mental breakdown. Nervous system breakdown. Screw this.

Once again, i'm trembling in trepidation, discombobulated and unnerved. Like I said in my post before the English paper. I'd really rather have them throw all the papers at one shot without break days. I can't sleep well.

System falling apart.

2009-11-01T23:37:00.001+08:00

Going nuts. Heh. Foaming.

My new room's gonna be red and black. Awesome.

Red and blue seems Optimus Prime-esque. but it's kiddish when you think about it.

Black and Yellow would be awesome. Like the V8 on the ad, or Bumblebee. But.. it would seem too eccentric for my taste.

Red and black's still the best, in my opinion. At least for the furniture. The walls are grey. Meh. Wooden flooring. Like those.. long tiles.

The papers were crap. EL was screwed. I swear that was the most dissaponting essay i've ever written. Compre was easy though. Full marks? Maybe not for summary but for the comprehension yeah im quite confident.

E math was easy. aiming for an A1.

A math. Ha. perhaps. I know i've been really careless. An A seems to be.. in sight. Provided I don't repeat my careless mistakes for paper 2.

all the best to everyone taking the Os.

Sigh. i dont even know what day it is. i just know what paper i have. doesn't really make a difference, does it. monday is english day. so screw monday and hello english day. i can rename the days to anything i damn well want to cause the names of the days are nothing compared to the Os. ha. today's AM1 day. Tommorow's AM2 day. 2 days later? Break day. 3 days later it's STILL break day. Looking forward to Olevelfinishday.

Happy birthday to Tong Jun, Wei Ler and Lok Shing in 15.

I really hate the Os. I have come close to breaking down 3 times. it's english. my supposed forte. yet i'm lacking in confidence. just let it end. please.

I'm not tired. i slept for 5 hours last night. tonight.. i dont know. i really dont. i just lie on the bed and i cant get to sleep. it's been like this for the past week. inadequate amount of sleep. i hope it doesnt take its toll tomorrow. or any of the O days for that matter.

Dead By Sunrise.

I think my internet's screwed.

Been really tired lately. Must be the lack of sleep. Not sleeping well for the past few days. Been sleeping at like 1-2am and waking up at 7+.

I've calmed down. Hope it doesn't happen again. It was really bad two days ago before the science practical. Sigh.

Spent the day in school. Had lunch at 883 and dinner at cwp. Otherwise practically in school for the entire day. First POA, chem, poa then A maths. at least it was OTOT. own time own target much?

going to the library tmr before tuition. Hope it's productive.
