Nothing Will Ever Change That...

Oh My... I have not blogged in like four days!! Since the day before Sports day to Today, 24th to the 28th... So much has happened! So many many things! Lets start off with Sports day ^_^ No lessons that day as Ms Shim spent the time giving out our O level Acknowledgement slips to confirm our subjects... I still REALLY really want to get rid of D&T... that major thorn in the flesh X_X Anyhow... went and borrowd FF7 from Beng Lee and lugged like 32 (ok 31 books .. i ost book 10!) of SK to lend him hahaz! =P Hope he knows how to handle em XD Sports day was so shoik, helping out the NCC and tended the drinks stations... Oh my those students just SWARMED us be it competitors or just spectators they just kept coming and again and in huge crowds until we eventually erected barriers to create a queue line that kept things orderly for a while... T_T ONLY a while. But overall it was so FUN! And oh yea, blue house won AGAIN wahahaz... we ALWAYS win (What can I say? We sure can run :P)

Then after that, went home... prepared and... Rushed off to Cellgrp! Met Joel at prata shop to WATCH HIM EAT =_= As per usual.... Paula-sensei was late, we had to go ahead X_X My turn to lead IB, came up with something on the spot... really funny not bad at all ^_^ Funny thing happened before Cell began... Dilys, Dilys, You are fitting in well but you REALLY need to warm up to Joel's tatics now that he has got a new... "partner in crime" ^_^ Spent the night Hacking away on my newly acquired FF7... played till I was totally half dead hahaz

Saturday!! Sport Climbing at Keppel Towers, the shop actualyl built the walls in a shop IN the tower so it was air-conditioned ^_^ Theory was easy la... we practically can walk in and pass already because there wasnt the need to test us on climbing but we got to climb for fun and put our theory to the test... I climb WORSE THAN DILYS! T_T too weak...

Met with some peeps to study on Sunday morning in Mac then went for Prayer Meeting... of which I should really make a habit of. Service was abit unconventional cos we quite deviated from the usual flow of events and messed up the timing but it was... different ^_^ In a good way! Then after service... meeting T_T Humongous Disaster! But we wrapped it up later in the night with Kendrick... what will I do without him? ^_^

Monday, the 28th, not only the day of my Geography Common Test and the day Peicai faces Cedar in the Volleyball finals (dont know which kind of competititon i think it is South Zone) But most importantly the O Level 2004 result release date. A day of tears and joy.. but from what I see and the people I bother to ask from it was more tears then joy. And for some it seemed tears would not suffice... and their pain was beyond death. Such is the suffering the teachers wanted us to witness and spur us not to end up like them but 4E being 4E really couldnt be bothered less. I? I spent all day and evening comforting others... remindingthem I have tasted bitter failure too and took it in my stride. They may claim it is not the same but it is similar nevertheless. I cant imagine if I had scraped through 3I and went to 4I.. today I would have also been there... sadness beyond pain beyond feeling.. the numbness of defeat and failure.

The day just passed so fast. The only that imprinted itself on my mind the clearest the whole day is that at this rate, I will too be crying in one year's time. And that my dream is quite un-attainable, not to mention some of my motivation has shriveled up and died off... Im going to lower my aim abit... 7 is really really too low, being abit realistic.. <12 is more like it, 10 to 12.

Todays release of results got me fired and also dampened my spirit a whole lot. Feeling drained and tired even though it wasnt me taking results. I never knew persuading someone that there is still a reason to live is so difficult =x

Oh! Finally, remember your "homework", everyday... Smile Smile! :D It really helps

Before I leave, this song is for all the people who took their O level results today :)

The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine,
everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own,
so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.

Everything will be alright kaes? No matter how poorly you did or how below expectations it was, this isnt the end of the road for you, or anyone for that matter. Life will have to go on and there will always be a way, be it backtracking, ITE, Poly or JC... There always is a way and everything will be alright, you just need to learn to let go.

Im ending here... drained totally.. why do you continue to ignore me?

Tired Irritated Living only a short time...

Hmm, Guess we have just made 4E 05 famous... our trick has drawn schoolwide fire and both the Vice Principal and the Principal are aware of it. Guess we really hurt her heart, she didnt even teach today and just rambled on about how we didnt give her a chance to communicate, and ironically, half the class just was not listening. Got lectured by every teacher who came in on that topic and Im getting real sick of it... my lack of strength to even acknowledge their presence isnt helping... and I forgot to bring a ton of books today (or more accurately i didnt pack)

I DIDNT GET ANY SLEEP AT ALL! Was on the phone till 5:20am this morning.. and Iwake up at 6am! So ya la, I practically did not sleep at all. So kept nodding off in class and school EVERYWHERE all day... really every second every moment there was some peace and quiet i would fall asleep... after flagraising, during USSR, in between lessons.. everywhere =x

Tip to self, no matter HOW fun that was, dont EVER do that again, you will KILL yourself...

Ok back to life in general. Wahz! Today's physics Common Test is going to be an abmysal FAILURE! First off i didnt study really, and then I kept falling asleep during the paper... No surprise that i didnt know a ton of stuff. And I couldnt even use my usual method of keeping awake because I didnt bring my lyrics file... yea, I usually sing to myself so i wont sleep hahaz nice fast songs like Affirmation, You got Game?, Anyplace Anywhere Anytime, Ohayou! and alot of others though that is shifting to slower songs... Light in your eyes, Live Twice and Eyes on Me just to name a few

Chinese common test and D&T tomorrow! I have yet to see a worse combination on an already terrible Thursday this year, but I have a feeling this "terror" will be topped by a greater one in due time. Time is really flying no matter how much I try not to acknowledge it... with only abit less then 3 months before MT Os, 3 months has almost already passed! (nearing March now) and nothing has begun, in fact I feel alot less confident now that it draws ever closer T_T I need Time Management... ASAP!

Hmm tons of things piling up to do, tons of questions surfacing everyday, every moment. I know where the answers are but I just dont want to go and take it. I know what I must do, but I dont do it. I know what I shouldnt be doing, but I still do it. There is so much that is so insignificant to look forward to. I know the road is before me, but I take the longer way. I have the cards in my hands, but i threw it aside and ask why im losing. Certain knowledge is more of a burden then a blessing. I am chasing after what Im not to have with all my might, and I do not need what I am chasing after. I am fighting a fight that isnt even mine to fight. I try but I am still not the same... Why?

Why did I write that above paragraph? I dont know, guess it's just how i feel... Im scared and worried and frustrated and angry and disappointed and a whole lot of other things. I got mad at someone without good reason when it was my fault. I was not a good example to others, I made a few exceptionally bad choices juxt because of the short term gain. I fear that I am becoming detached again....

Eyes on Me...

Whew, alot of things have happened in the span of 2 days ^_^ Lets begin with Monday, the first day of common tests!! First up was Social Studies.... Wahh!! I totally underestimated the paper... I might even fail this one! How can it be?! Nevermind, that aside, there is no TAF for the whole of this week! Yea!

Spent the entire evening at our first (ok second) real proper meeting for the March Outreach. I realise there is no way there can be a time when EVERYONE of the 6 can make it so lets drop that and just make do with whoever we have. The meeting was long and tiring (even though constantly punctuated with funny stuff curtosy of Caleb) there were many hyper side-tracked things we did like Jean who was cramming throughout (mulit-tasking she says, that mutli-talented gal) and we saw lots of umm.. interesting things! Like a guy who was totally Afred style? Bag, shoes, clothes... totally! And a couple who had a tiff, lasted for hours in the corner of BK, must have worked their way through a whole pile of napkins, before they left at about 7pm (imagine, sobbing, glaring and talking since like 5:30??), a teacher of Daryl's who has an obssesion with BBQ sauce and tons of other crap

See? Sidetracking again, so we did tons of work! We got the ground down and plans are more concrete although still full of flaws. Hooray! We are that many steps closer and with only 2 weeks left, who knows what will happen?

Today was so ... exciting lolx Common Test for PoA in the morning was a walk in the park (Ha!) but the lesson after that was not so... The class played a trick on our chi teacher! I was totally against it but NO I didnt make a single move to stop them. Not even protest. I just sat there and watched, as guilty as consenting to their actions because they needed everyone's co-operation, to what? To just keep QUIET. I wont elaborate here im just disappointed in the class for trying such a pointless and risky thing, and in myself for not stopping them as monitor of the class.

Oh oh! But something good did happen today! My article got published in the school newsletter the catalyst! But Mr Tan AF got my class wrong and put me in 4F instead of 4E =_=u and everyone see, even Miss Kodi said this was not the best after all I just penned whatever came to mind, and I like rushed it in about 15 minutes cos I had to give it to him by the end of that day (I realised at like 9:40pm or so) hmm maybe next time?

Fell so hard for this song i cant get it out my head even though I cant sing it! Eyes On Me - from Final Fantasy VIII, ill be putting lyrics here just cos I feel like it! =P Love it..

You never sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
You never said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy?
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar

My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you?

Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer

So let me come to you
Close as I want to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I love your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you?

Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming

Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then I will know
that you are no dreamer
-------------------------------------
Still have school tomorrow, common test for Physics, should be a slice of pie.. hmm i like blueberry XD Ok thats enough crap im going off now.. bb!

Excess Baggage

Yoz! So sorry about yesterday's post, I was just abit messed up and tired, but im cool now ^_^ Yea, I really have one heck of a recovery system ^_^ Hmm I have a ton of things to do so this wil be a wee bit shorter than usual!

As I have told everyone common tests begin next week, instead of being afraid or anything, now I feel excited! The first chance to get official (it is like my CA1 marks ^_^) results back on how well I'm doing~! Time is still dragging though, after so long it is still only mid-Feburary, that only means Im running out of time to study! Even when time passes slowly it is still passing no?

Yesterday or should I say Friday's cell was ... different ^_^ Paula-sensei and Joel-kun were not around and neither was Qian Xiang as he had to stick around in his hostel but it was kewl! Ps Rachel dropped in! Having a TINY cell of only 5 people was awesome, not that the others dont matter but the feeling is just different without the "leaders" about (Ok fine so Jean is an intern and Rachel is a Pastor XD) yet nothing went wrong and everythign was s-m-o-o-t-h

Today was our school's flag day for all the sec4s. It was like from 12:30pm to 5pm so I totally missed Rangers! Darn that kind of threw me abit but im cool! The waiting was SO IRRITATING! I only got to begin and leave the school at like 1:15pm because Miss Shim was like so slow in handing out the stuff. And MC was shouting all over really loudly so that most of it was un-comprehensible but really loud (Owchie my poor ears...) we wandered from Serangoon to Kovan and stayed there filling our tins, although it was observed that most people donated just to keep us off thier backs but hey we got the dough, thats what the school care for right? (Ok I personally do not agree with this, if you dont want to donate then DONT, and save us your black faces and muttered complaints)

Finally! Proper meetings tomorrow! Our March 05 outreach committee is really a top notch team! Experience and skill bundled together for all the members, problem is we are so good we barely have the time to meet X_X But thats cool too! I also need to buck up!! Kendrick seems alot more in the know and in control then I am, all I've done is sit there and "relax" people. Heehee ^_^ Thats me, you can't really change that though haha! Somebody better stress me besides Kendrick.. he ain't too good at pressurising me haha... I realised only two kinds of people can pressurise / stress me to work my hardest... People with authority to make or break me (even they sometime fail heh) and ... *gasp* surprisingly... girls T__T Especially if they ask for it... *gulp* scary... SCARY!!

Haha, don't know why I'm a tad hyper heehee. Say! Do you think I've grown fitter? I have not gained weight as far as I know but yea I really want to pass my NAPFA at least ONCE in my 5 years in this school even though I so called "passed" one year it was a fluke because there was a round error for my 2.4km run which I have a tendency to fail. Then there is the standing broad jump and Pull up problem... but I believe that if I can do my 2.4, I think im ready for most other things (Note the use of the words.. THINK and MOST)

Lalala.. oh oh! My article is getting published in my school news-letter thing! And I didnt even write it properly oh my, when i was asked to try, I just penned what came to mind I never thought it would actually get in! Does that mean im on the team? Part of "The Catalyst"? One step closer to being a REAL journalist ^_^ Yea! For those who don't know, I want to be a journalist! Or a photographer! Or a movie-maker! Thats why I was elated to get my Video Camera only to learn that I dont own the cable to upload the things I have recorded into my computer for editing X_X So that is on hold for a while heh ^_^

Oh oh Oh! And seems like doors are opening again! Seems like someone asked my good friend to go to their church. I hope he really does! Now Im really now worried about who gets the credit what matters is that he gets the news! We are all doing the same work aiming for the same goal, I dont knwo who that person is but whoever you are, Thank You!!

Going ROCK CLIMBING next week! Sounds seriously high becasue if you pass this course you will get a nationally reconised certificate so its going to be a tad high as in height high and.. IM AFRAID OF HEIGHTS! Nevermind, I'll figure out something, I always do (I think ive been using that phrase alot)

Oh it is like 1am already! I havent been keeping an eye on the clock because I was happily bloggin heehee. I know some of my content is a little disturbing to some haha but hey its my blog you cant do nothing about what I write if you have any comments of objections e-mail me at faust_viii_sf@hotmail.com or just tag me kaes?

Tired, Sleepy, Drained, Agitated

Harlow! Sorry for the lack of updates... Ive been really drained recently...

Common tests begin next week! And I have not begun revising... Am I really that lazy?? I try, I really do... sitting there, book open pen in hand. But I never get anything done... I dont know why or whats wrong with me now-a-days. I either have no motivation to study or just feel dead tired all the time.

Uneventful thursday, and normal Friday with the exception of medical checkup today, so we missed Chem but stil got our test papers back ^_^ 15.5 upon 20... that was way below expectation (Ok i lost 2.5 marks to careless mistake... SUPER careless) but the topic was simple and the common tests will cover more than one chapter.

Am I worrying too much? Do I bother myself with things bigger then what I am able to handle? Why do I let myself be distracted... Recently been downloading many songs. Current fav song of the moment is "Light in your Eyes" by Blessed Union of Souls, Excellent song, I've been absolutely smitten by it. In second place is Affirmation by Savage Garden followed by Missing by Evanescence in third place, The First Cut is the Deepest by Sheryl Crow in fourth place (Moving up fast!) and in fifth place is Never Gonna Leave Your Side by Daniel Beddingfield.

I really need an mp3 player... listening to the radio will only serve to distract me more. Ok ive been in a sluggish mode... that SUCKS im going to snap out of it.. how about a nice fast paced song Reccomendation of the moment!

One My Way Down - Ryan Cabrera

Sick and tired of this world
There's no more air
Trippin' over myself
Going nowhere
Waiting
Suffocating
No direction
And I took a dive

[chorus]
And on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me from myself
And I wont forget the way you loved me
One the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you

[verse 2]
I've been wonderin' why
It's only me
Have you always been inside
Waiting to breathe
It's alright
Sunlight
On my face
I wake up and yeah, I'm alive!

[chorus]
I was so afraid
Of going under
But now the weight of the world
Feels like nothing, no, nothing

Down, down, down
You're all i wanted
Down, down, down
You're all i needed

Down, down, down
You're all I wanted
You're all i needed

And I wont forget the way you loved me
All that I wanted
All that I needed

[chorus]

Down, down, down
But I held on to you
Down, down, down
But I held on to you
_________END___________

Only a few months left till the Os.... and only about one week before last year's batch come back to take their results. I cant bring myself to face them but yet at the same time... I want to see them, see thier faces. Ask them, its been a long time, how have you been? Smile, show that I am different now.

So many questions, things I have to know. Has that burning fire, grown so cold already? Yet there is no pain, just numbness. After dropping everything... is that what I truly wanted to find? Guess the song is right... it is time and no space that everyone needs. Damn Ive been writing this for hours... keep writign halfway fall asleep... Guess Im tired.. why am I so tired?!

Committee members! Hear ye, there is a meeting this Sunday at 10:30am meet at the usual Mac k? We all know what happens after death, but it still scares me, it scares me alot. Is that how... I am going to spend enternity? Am I shaken? Guess what you read can really shake you... I need to go back to basics now... start from the bottom up.

Aiya... run out of stuff and dead tired.. I am not me today I guess...

When One Door Closes...

Helo everyone!! What a nice day today was! EVerything went smoothly.. abit TOO smoothly. Even with me forgetting to do a ton of homework yesterday and getting into some trouble due to my "awesome" memory. In fact, it is failing me now cos i cant think of what I was going to blog about X_X

Wednesday night, D&T tomorrow and I have to be dragged to Matthias's home... dang I really regret that 6 month span I let him grow on me X_X Now that kid wont let go, how do I shake him off without getting beaten to a pulp by that fella in the process? I'll think of something.. somehow, I always do..

Oh yes! I rememeber now! And im SO DISAPPOINTED with myself! That was the moment I was praying for the past few weeks.. or practically since the end of the CC 2004!! And I let it slip... darnnit! I never forsaw this! I didnt think it would happen... I never prepared! I should always be prepared! Ive failed, i didnt live up to my motto of being "ready" nor did I do my job, Dammnit!! *punches wall*

15/2/05, during recess, my friend suddenly asked me... "Are you a christian?" That moment i was totally stunned for a moment and just mangaed to mutter "yea". Then he began asking about why I can eat meat on Fridays (Im like totally un-aware there was such a ristriction O.o) and I managed to shrug them off until he asked "What do you do in service every week?" That was the BOMB I totally collapsed and said the THREE MOST STUPID MOST FATEFUL words --> "I DONT KNOW" You know, after that I was thinkign what if, because of that moment, when he died, he went to hell, and I could picture them again asking why didnt i do something? Why didnt i save them?

Thinking about this incident always gets me down... way down. I actualyl been stuck on the song "You Said" and I remember that i changed it after a few week, the nations are to great for now, now I only ask for Peicai and my CLASSMATE asks me and I failed him. ARgh enough!!! Ahem, Tuesday.. after school went to my friends home to tutor them... im not exactly a pro, but according to them, better then them can liaoz... =_= ok I have no complaints ... went home super late like at 8:30pm but luckily didnt get railed at ^_^

Im really creeped when I see money just flow away when people gamble... it is so scary. How much money you just throw without thinking. Gambling... is such a stupid activity, it wastes time and most of all wastes money in addition to the possibility of it stirring up hostile feelings amongst the players. If you want easy money... then im sorry but there is no such thing as EASY money, if u really want money go earn it one way or another, just make sure it is legal.

Which brings me back to today, which was supposed to be the FINALS for some of our school sports heats held at NYJC... I really wanted to go look! But I promised Mr Oliver Tan to be ther for training regularly from now on.. after all I need all the point cuts i can get... cos im really not sure about my target anymore.. im not very sure of anything anymore. Sian .. I REALLY WANTED to go an see NYJC!! X_X Waaa... one disappointment after another.

Argh, forget it, im logging off first... see you around buaiz...

Friendship Day

Today is the 14th of Feb!! A normal day for everyone, except for the multitude of fools who have someone by their side to spend the overly exploited day where every pricetag jumps sky high. I prefer to take it as a normal day however :p cos there really is nothing special.

Sorry people, but I just dont have the time to rush out that V-Day (I absolutely refuse to use the V word) skin... so sorry. Normal day, a little hetic, but still normal, school, study, homework... life goes on. But I just cant help but feel envious of the many others who actually have reason to make this day special. but honestly, do you relaly have to go to all means to show your affection JUST one day a year? No, if you love someone, you will treat them well the same ALL YEAR. Everyday, every moment.

I did it, sensei, i kept my cool, didnt make any stupid or rash moves. Kept the board clear and didnt rush into anything. But hey, I really didnt expect myself to do anything today. And I didn't.. I almost did... just take the bus an extra 3 stops. Alight at that all to familiar stop, walk the well trodden path, and then...? Who knows? But since Peicai's 5 day week makes my day end at 3pm social and other life is always cut by one big chunk. Hmm off topic again! HAhaz...

Anyway school gave an assignment.. only supposed to be 100 words -> Should people spend money on their loved ones on V-Day? Why? ... that moment.. a flood of ideas just burst in. Dont even mention 100 words, even if it were 250 words minimum I would be at no loss for things to rant about. Money... can we really measure everything in monetary terms? Money is important and all but when you die you cant take money with you. When everything goes through the fire you money, good works and all will burn and disappear all that is left is what really matters...

In the end... what matters..

New Skin!!

Wahaha! Finally! After hours of slogging, my new creation is unveiled! Check out my new Hunter x Hunter skin based on the infamous 13-person gang, the Genei Ryodan aka the Phantom Brigade or The Spiders. However in the picture you will only find 12 because one of them died and is therefore not in the pic. Picture from the manga while the icons at the side are from some other website I forgot to take down but due credit is given to the owner in the disclaimer section.

Plus this is the first skin that I made from scratch with frames!! Although there are still some problem for example, the tag-board's entry boxes are practically non-existant (also fixed by using the doodle-board) as they are abit difficult to locate and the links once used turn black (This but has since been fixed!)... and are therefore invisible against the back background.. but I will get it fixed in due time. Spent from 11pm to 3am doing this skin ^_^ Very Proud of it! Navigations are to your right, Click on Killua for posts (although it is already there once you drop in), click on Leorio for Navigations, eg links and my bio-data, and finally click on Karupica for the Tag board, in case some non H x H fans do not know these characters, I have provided labels below the links.

Just some extra stuff, concerning the Ryodan... from the left, Sphinx (the guy in the suit), Korutopi (The guy with REALLY long hair), Sitting up at the top with the nice chinese looking clothes is Sharnock, next to him in black is Feitian, Below them is the leader of the Genei Ryodan, Kuroro Lucifer, Below him, the girl in logn sleeved shirt and jeans is Shikuzu, on her right (the wierd bandaged guy) is Bonorenofu and on his right in purple (the pissed off guy with a pigtail) is Nobunaga, Above him is Machi (The girl in a jap looking suit) and Pakunoda (The woman in a suit) and beside them (The giant.. cant miss him) is Franklin. Finally, the one who needs no introduction our all round beloved Hisoka ^_^ that sums up the 12 remaining members of the Genei Ryodan, the dead guy is Ubogin, huge muscle bound fella.. if i get a pic i might put it up ^_^

Feeling so tired now... *yawn*... Im so going to DIE tomorrow morning hahaz, ok Im going off now, continue later... Bye Bye!!

The Wager

Sian ah!! After a nice 2 and a half day holiday, coming back to school sems so un-natural!! And for one day only X_X Totally off form, even run my normal 10 rounds in the morning also cannot... I think ive become alot weaker over the new year cos of all the festivities =_= In class also off form, sigh.. just looking forward to the day to end.

Planned to go with Shan An and his sis + some other people to go watch Constantine today. Disaster sia. But first *ahem* I want to wish Jin Rong... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (Belated la, even though today is the actual day on the lunar calender) Heehee I didn't get you a gift, and I still "owe" Kim Tian a present, hpapy waiting haha!! After school end Kim Tian and Jin Rong went to Leelin's house to change... Sian lor! While waiting outside, some people with too much free time actually "accused" me of waiting outside LeeLin's house for? Lee Lin!! PLEASE, don't do stupid things like that. To make things worse LeeLin actually pulled Kim Tian to the window and said that I was waiting for Kim Tian instead of her ... I feel one hyper misunderstanding coming up.

Then we took MRT down to Orchard Cineleisure, only to find that Constantine does not show there!! Drag ourselves to Plaza Singapura only to find that all the shows from then (it was about 3:30pm then) up till 11:30 pm WERE SOLD OUT! Up till 11:30pm .. I dont believe it... =_= anywayz, we didnt watch the movie in the end X_X (Aiya, expected.. life is like that for me) went to eat at Cafe Cartel downstairs instead.

Wahah! The food is great! I give it four out of five bites!! I ate Fish and Chips, the fish was crispy outside but soft inside and the tatar sauce was creamy with a touch of cheese i think. The kuku waiter didnt know how to pronounce minstrone, so it ended up sounding like mi-nis-ter-o-ni LoLx! The soup was abit different in a way that it was far more concentrated and there was less visible ingredients as in usual minstrone soups, and the taste was slightly to heavy on the tomato side but it was still pretty good in the end. Tried abit of their Pepper Pork Ribs, absolutely fabulous, the meat is abit tough but the sauce coupled with the softer parts are just that one flight short of heavenly. Topped off with a round of Ice-Cream for 4, I think I got to go on a diet for a few days after this meal. And the price was quite reasonable ^_^ Although the 5% GST was abit irritating.

Just hung around until I had no more time and RUSHED home to prepare for Cell!! Ran into Joel leaving for the meeting (6pm) but I had already informed everyone that I'd be late, about 7pm so i was quite safe, went home freshened up an rushed out again to Heartland Mall to meet Cecelia, Jean, Alfred, Qian Xiang and Joel to go for Visitation!! Went to Alfred's home first, played Bridge there! The first proper game since Zone Camp, Ive gone TOTALLY rusty, I lost all the games X_X stayed till about 8+ and took bus (btw, bus rides from kovan to sengkang are so NOT fun and take such a long time X_X) back to Kovan AGAIN to visit Joel's house, watched the last ep of the 9 o'clock show on Ch 8, predicatable happy ending, oh well its good ot have a happy ending once in a while ^_^

Dragged myself home (I really didnt want to go home... I want to go watch Friends oor Whose Line Is It Anyway? on Joels com hahaz) Went home to watch a movie, Erin Brockvich (I don;t know how to spell her name) a fabulous show, really! Insipring with a touch of freshness, but abit unrealistic for a film based on a true story, after all it WAS set in the 1970 - 1980s at BEST. Wahahz?? it is like 3 AM now!!! Ive been writing this for like 1 and a half hours X_X Time to log off... Getting abit tired too ^_^

Oh yea! Naruto chapter 247 has been translated by Inane and is avaliable for download, as is Episode 121 from our loyal nd hardworking pals at narutofan. Bottoms up! Great chapter!!

(Chinese) New Year!!!

Walala! Its Chinese New Year! The next two days will be fun filled, exhausting and best of all there is no school! ^_^ But i have a problem with Chinese New Year, me the all round mr Banana cant remember what proper term to call my relatives!! Always very MAlu one... good thing just now Reunion Dinner my father taught me hwo to say but aiya, he not too happy la.. 17 years of spending chinese new year already, still dont know this "basic manners"...

Lets back track a few days after my last post (on the 5th, Saturday) Sunday!! Combined Service cos of Communion and Membership Installation! AWrgh! I missed it! I was supposed to give Paula-senei the form but I have not filled it in, so there goes Dilys, Jean, Daryl, Reuben and some others up without me X_X In FAct My form is still not done, guess it will have to wait til next year then... but Im still darned that I missed this once in a lifetime chance... After service there was an hour long prayer meeting for a whole slew of topics.. phew ^_^

Went with Jean, Dilys, Paula, Daryl, Caleb, Alfred, Uriah and Qian Xiang for lunch at Mac... FOR ONCE sponsered by my dad... I dun dare to claim $$ from him ... dont know why I always dun dare to ask, maybe he is abit fierce about money =x After that went to Joel's house to watch Whose Line Is It Anyway? Really funny!! But some are abit.. suggestive.. oh well, that's American TV for you.

Monday! Still have school!! Sian.. but.. but.. I forgot to do my homework!! More like I played so much I didnt do but I almost died X_X Thanks goodness I didnt la haha, rushed out maths in the end and handed in English the next day.. everything goes well ^_^ Settled another problem too!

Tuesday, no school proper, but... concert! Stuck in hall for 2 hours.. OMG the concert this year was really "entertaining"!! We had a Singapore Idol FLOP.. they got some girl (dunno who) to sing I Dream, even as the song was playing over the PA system... she sang so badly i couldnt help laughing (even though i was singing along at first) Forgotten lyrics and off key... the perfect mixture.. then bulkl of the concert was made up of a game, and lion and dragon dance then a Lion AND dragon dance in one... waste time la, all in all, just one long waste of time k? Shoot m for not liking my school so much

Then Reunion dinner .. we ate really early cos my parents wanted to go to Chinatown to buy things.. and I had to be dragged along to suffer in the crowd X_X Wah since there was a road closure we had to take MRT from Kovan to Chinatown... so crowded.. as per usual my mom bought a ton of useless rubbish.. air plants.. seriously X_X and comign back ALSO Mrt.. sigh... missed the fireworks cos we left early to avoid the REAL crowd... so nothing really big

Today is.... Wednesday!! Happy Chinese New Year again! Just came home from visitations all morning... tired out.. but still going out after this again! Waaahh... So tired.. ok la im just lazy and was so paiseh cos last night i forgot what to call everyone.. today worse! Must greet and wish everyone personally... die liao.. die liao..

Well i gtg now k? ttyl

Suck On!

Hahaz, ok I and Jun Ming are like SO LAME. When something SUCKS it's like a vacum cleaner, which is high tech and modern unlike something that ROCKS, which is primitive, stones and rubble, so when something sucks it is better than something that rocks haha, confused? Dont worry, most people with normal non-insane brains wont get it.

Woot! Saturday morning!! Weekends Weekends! Oh yea! Yesterday Friday was like SO crap! So irritating X_x Colin just Sprained his ankle, he didnt even fracture anything and he asked for a class transfer so THE WHOLE class moved from 4E on the 4th floor to 1G on the 1st floor.. and this year all the sec 1 classes have silly kindergarden style tables (you know those colorful ones in bright colors and shapes? Like ours is a yello trapezium oO) Which HAVE NO slot under to place stuff~! So I had to lug all my "prized possesions" home T_T good thing they are only a few wahaz, I pity people like Gerald who practically chucked his entire year's syllabus under the desk XD

Oh oh! Then after school When I was walking out... OMG! I ran into Shan An! Wahahz, what's the chances? Seems like he, Andy (Tay), his Sis, Jin Rong, Andy (Chan) and this other guy (Arghh! He was so nice to me but I forgot his name!! T_T) were going to the Singapore Poly open house! So I tagged along (In uniform and all but... hey? It's worth a few laughs) Took bus from Central all the way there... wah piang, the trip is like SO FAR lor!! We took like 1 and a half hours of riding in the bus to get there X_X and when we got there, first thing *PAH* I knew that place as the Maritime Academy... cannot find the actual open house, wandered around that area... and got lost until we decided to leave and ON THE MAIN ROAD RIGHT IN FRONT of the bus stop was a BIG sign saying, "Secondary School Visitors This Way To The Convention Centre" Diaoz =_="

Went there, looked around the exhibits abit but they all weren't really interested as it seems like the state that the previous few blocks we have been in was... pretty poor. That is just Decor Wise!! Anyhow, I was also not too interested haha, and gave the Maritime exhibit A TOTAL miss xD I wanted to find Rong Sheng but I realised without my HP and that he might be studying... it might be a tad difficult and then when we were leaving.. he popped up! Literally chased after me haha! My school has no hp rule... what to do? Then took 105 back (we took 147 there) and Wah~!! If we took 105 instead we wouldnt have wasted SO MUCH time!! X_X Anyhow so they all dropped off at Toh Payoh and I went all e way back to school and home, only to rush into a bath and run off to Serangoon Gardens XD

Went early to meet Joel cos he said he very "sian" then sat at Chomp Chomp and watched the infamous video of Dilys screaming after beign shcoked by Joselyn and Serene.. mildy entertaining... had it not been for the fact Ive seen it before... Waited as everyone took their own sweet time to come (ok lah, just kidding, relax). Nothing much, share lame jokes... eat... laugh... Feels great to just be known. Then we went to SGCC again hahaz... How sweet of Joel to treat us all to ice cream ^_^ Played trick on Alfred who didnt want to choose a flavour, we bought him strawberry and made Dilys hold it for him with her own... Obviously he thought Dilys, being Dilys would take the pink cone but he ended up with strawberry while Dilys got Mint and choc chip... Joel got Cookies and Creme, I got Coffee (Yum :P) and Jean got Double Chocolate O.O I hate it how she always loses weight without trying...

Then someone came up with this wise idea to play Guess The Number and the person will be subject to Truth or Dare... a blend of two games haha... I have an uncanny tad for guessing the right number, but not so often with this bunch, cos they are more... complicated? Got hit once and they asked the most often asked question... Who do you like? A simple play on words, (I like everyone :P You didnt specify) and I gave it the slip until I got hit again T_T there seemed no evading the question now.. until Qian Xiang helped me answer... quite crap though.. -_-u but it got me off the hook. I was really thinking.. should I? Just one word.. one name... just one syllable and it would all be over. But no, I couldn't I just couldn't.

Went home and watched Naruto 95 - 98... Wahahaz! 98 is just a filler/funny episode, really cheered me up a whole bunch. Candidates... if you are talking about Candidates... there are alot really, but when you narrow it all down... it always come down to one, just one. Hmm, talking trash again... Going bowling later ^_^ I wonder if RS invited the ERG... Hmmm... no big deal really.

Got a ton of homework now... if anyone has any good songs please throw them this way k? I still want a mp3 player so i can listen to songs even while not at the comp X_X hmmm, just an iPod mini would be good enough really (Wah like that already still call GOOD ENOUGH.. haha I qian bian XD) Hmm.. or any of those brandless kinds really, any at all... maybe the 5GB one features in yesterdays papers with FM tuner and all, but there was no price listed. Avaliable in Red and Grey... Obviously Ill take Grey but Red is also fine if push comes to shove (problem is that red does not quite fit with my colors...)

Hm.. stil need to think of an outreach activity for march! Now is already mid-Feburary!! X_X Stress sia, I hope Cecelia does not approach me to ask for the plans tomorrow... Think Think Think. Hmm.. busy busy, oh well, I'll contuinue later, ive run into a dead end now so... Cya round!

Wild Drive!

Wooh! Finally! After 3 rejects one time torn up, My D & T Folio has been accepted in whole! It's been bound and reconised as ready for submission! Since the start of January, now it is settled ^_^ But then my practical X_x Aiya,that can wait for now.

Another Big Sorry to Anna hahaz, our school DID issue us our Student Handbooks! But they cost $3 each.. no matter! It's great, I really like the calander with space to write everything in it.. aiya crapping.. sounds so silly heehee... high cos of a handbook. And this year... it has color! Inside it is all... BROWN! Yes! Our school "official" Color.. brown, the uniform is brown, excercise books are brown, the building is a SHADE of brown. But it's alright ^_^

Eeek, it just dawned on me that time is passing really REALLY slowly... It has felt like enternity but only one month has passed... come to think of it, I aint too enthusiastic about the coming Os, Im just not ready yet! Ive got stuff to revise and cover, new things to learn, even more things to revise after that and current responsibilities to take up. Haiz, last night, as I went early into the morning (4 am!!), I discovered the first hint of the dreadful S5... STRESS... it sucked... I was just going to tear the whole folio up and burn it... at least I thought of (I was even holding a lighter at one point, but not to brun stuff lahz, clearing my table wahahaz)

Have I slacked so much that I am immune to stress? Nah, can't be, pressurised yes but not stressed. On the other hand, when everyone else besides you is stressed you can cheer them up! But it isnt easy haiz... they may even brush you off to continue in thier "tortured existence" wake up sia.. life aint so bad just cos school work is killing you ya know...

Ive been thinking (ok I always think alot) and when I sing "O'Lord I ask for the Nations" (from the songs "You Said" at the end) I tend to feel a little, guilty like, how to reach the nations when I cant even share in my own backyard (not literally but you get my meaning) so from now on, whenever I sing this song, I will say instead "O'Lord I ask just for Peicai" First my class, then the level, then the school, then the neighbourhood, then the country, AND ONLY then the nations :D (What a silly thing to joke about but, Im not joking) Now the only question is how.

Running running as fast as I can, but I still cant run fast enough X_X I really need to work on my physical... being overweight and looking a bit pauchy (is that even a word??) is one thing but not being able to run or not being able to do even ONE pull up is terrible... NAPFA now seems a test even harder than the Os, cos I cant study for it X_X Still HIGH!!

Oh yes! I just went to cut my hair today! And even though I cut the usual , slope and all, I left my fringe untouched, dont ask me why, I just felt like it! Hmm.. I forgot what homework we have today. Oh yes, Chinese test tomorrow and Eng article writing test tomorrow also... hmm... what can I say? Im High, Im High, Im Just So High! The car almost ran over Siong Zhen and Chuan Yi just now going out to cut my hair... insane fellas walking when the Green Light is up, on a relatively busy road! Just noticed it's them when my dad made an effort to avoid them... hmm

Wahaaa... Free is such a LONG song... I cant remember the first part of it! *tugs at hair* But i'll get it soon, after all, when I first began to memorise You Said all I knew was "You Said!" literally, and I built up from there. I still want an Mp3 player even If I cant use it in school =P iPod probably, cos it can be used as a mini hard-drive to carry other files around too... Drool.. I WANT AN IPOD!! Hahaz

Today so sian, went and downloaded Naruto Eps for fun, began at 90, now up till 95, not bad for someone WITHOUT bittorrent.... HTTP downloads are slow and draggy but Flashget makes them alot easier to endure. Argh, my time is up! (for using e comp lahz... choy choy!) Enjoy next week k? Chinese New Year! Got cash must pay up all your debts, im not going to write off any bad debts anytime soon =P

Sailing On My Sea!

Tommrrow is my class NE excursion! *hops around* ok So im ABIT too enthusiastic over such a supposedly BORING thing, but If we dont make life interesting for ourself, who will? ^_^ Going to the NEWater plant.. sounds interesting and yet highly technical in nature in terms of the words "plant" like a "Factory" ya know?

Today was an insane day hahaz. First off we had PE and a ton of people like had no PE attire cos of the new timetable thing, interesting. Then we had our Geog test today... It seemed quite alright too me, although IM sure I wrote all out of point. Then Physics was HAVOC! I shall not explain here, too messy! Then CME was quite cool, I still used water in the end for my 5 aspects but Miss Shim didn't see mine. No problem though, We should have that thing on our table for every CME lesson thereafter ^_^ Here's mine -->

WATER

Physical - Like water, I can be seen as either strong or weak depending. (Raindrops, or a tidal wave) And there are vast differences also depending on situation. (Like Ice is hard but Water Vapour is practically untouchable)

Intellectual - Many ripples form on the surface and spreads out on the surface of the water. My knowledge and skills are balanced out. Water has no fixed shape or form, Likewise I am openminded and flexible. Water will always find a way to flow, like I will find all ways and means to go on forward. Water can be deep, likewise I too am deep... too deep

Emotional - Still waters run deep, calm and still on the surface but deep below. Like water, when you think you can see the bottom, the bottom is always deeper then it seems. Water cannot be hurt... no blade can sut water, you can push it apart but it will always flow back, water is resilent.

Moral - Water is clean and clear, I have only a few, if not nothing to hide, my conscience is clear. Water cannot be compressed, I will not be pressurised into changing my stand. I will stick by my principles and never sway.

Social - Water cant mix well with many things, in fact water is more often used to wash things away. But once water mixes it is difficult to seperate the mixture. I dont mix well with people, and more often then not, I tend to just correct them, but those I truely mix well with, my small group of friends, I will never let go.

>Water is the essence of life, without water nothing can survive.
>Where water goes, life grows.

There... I spent the last night thinking about water and came up with all these. I like it alot... I have always liked water, especially when swimming, the weightlessness and the ease at which you can just push apart easily. Water is so strong, it can be so easily "broken" and yet never truly hurt, it will just flow back and with suck "weakness" can hold up a person's weight or more. Isnt water amazing?

I finally found it! The song, some call it "Love me" some call it "If you get there before I do" and I even found it as "Grandma's Note" but I finally found the song... and I love it. Thanks to Dilys-Chan for helping me set out on this quest and more thanks to Sylvia-chan for helping me accomplish it! ^_^

Got a few more new songs today.. but still stuck on "You Said" and "Free". Hmm I havent quite got Free down to pat yet, cos it is a very LONG song... but I'll get there sooner or later if I keep listening to it at this rate, It will be imprinted on my mind. Whee!

An Official Apology to Anna-Sama, I was quite mis-informed and have poor memory. Our school DOES issue us Student Handbooks but they can also be bought for $2 at the bookshop. Sorry if I made you feel pitiful or anything X_X speaking of which, we got our student handbooks today! At long last! Actualyl supposed to get on Friday, but Miss Shim forgot to collect, so we waited, then on Monday she was absent! So we had to wait till TODAY and we got our handbook! I LOVE IT! It may be a bit brown and all but I really need a diary / planner I can write on! And thanks to Anna-sama again for giving me the idea of decorating my handbook! After all like I said, if we dont make life interesting for ourselves, who will?

Today for CME we also reattached our O level goals on the table. Looking at them I cant hepl but think that even though it seems so achievable, the label that I am "trying too hard" or "That I have an unrealistic goal" still leaves a mark. Nothing is unrealistic or unachievable... if those marks are not possible then what populates the walls of those top schools? Ghosts? Obviously not... it is either people who have the talent or have worked hard enough to get where they are! It isn't impossible and to reach my goal I will do almost anything... to be a somebody and not a nobody... to everybody, Lord give me strength to make good my word!

Yesterday after school the school held a demonstration for all D&T pupils on the mechanisms the supplier has to offer. Wah! I like fell asleep countless times and had to be roused by some other guy near me! So Pai-Seh X_X But at least now i have a general idea HOW to make my ideal project! Oh yes! Full speed ahead!

Eng article still not passed up... Im worried even if it is chosen It won't make it into the Catalyst X_X Chinese is getting harder and harder! I cant make head or tail of it anymore... oh man.. somone anyone Help Me! Aiyaz, run out of things to blog about, if you have any ideas, please feel free to tag on k?
