Reflections 06

Wow, its already the second last day of 2006 and I haven't blogged in almost two weeks. So much to say, so much so I have messed it all up in my mind's clock. Where exactly did I stop last time?

It brings more then tears to recall this year.

2006 went by really fast

from starting jc during PAE to meeting my beloved OG (Thebes Gamma will live forever)

from Chinese New Year to joining the Music Society.

Remember the one with the college dance, or the one about results collection.

What about the time when I got into SRJC again and the episode with Steven Tay and my letter fighting for the right to take Lit at A-level?

Followed by the one about becoming a PL and meeting the extra wonderful people who love SR.

Then theres the one with 1a02 and how the class went through hell and high water.

I recall fondly the one about Project Work and the team shuffle

along with the one concerning AJTC and meeting all the people again.

Then the one about joining ycp and making more friends.

Between windsurfing with the Rangers

and Ps Rachel leaving Youth Alive for Aaron to take the lead.

To helping out at the DTC as a patrol advisor

From SMUN at NUS to the CSSP Challenge Camp and all the fun of being a logistics head.

Then comes Cmdr Elaine's wedding and all the fun we had helping out.

Then the 19th Council Investiture preceedes Fesitval of Praise

and Teacher's Day. Oh how 1A02 bonded for the carnival and our smashing haunted house, everyone looked ghastly beautiful.

As the threat of promos and the final PW written report loomed over our arched heads, and we fought through the tunnel with no light ahead until the coming of the last paper.

Promos results proved devastating, the class was cracked, but not broken. Shawn and Yolanda, Arts2, never forget

We topped it off with a beautiful but tiring Oral Presentation session for PW.

Then Crystal's brithday cum halloween celebration followed by the Jc1 bash and the Jc2 prom night.

Church camp was highly memorable and great things began to move but something was still missing and I longed to know more.

I remember just not so long ago when heartware network drew us in to sell bears just around christmas time and it was just the week before HG2T had their mini sleepover cum thanksgiving session which immediately led into

the Rangers Christmas celebration and carolling with the AJO people

Sleeping over after carolling and volunterring for CCIS on Christmas night itself.

And a few days later, here I am, in my chair, recounting this long year.

I look back and I wonder how it all went past and how could I ever forget. God was there all along.

Best moments~ my first college dance. being in thebe gamma. acting as a pl. ajtc. dtc. smun. halloween. church camp. post christmas- thanks Edina.

And this is the year, although very late in the year, God made a very big difference in my life. Its not the Church Camp, it wasn't even Ps Aaron's sermon the week after. Those were great, but that was merely groundwork for the great things that were to come. Oh, how great things appear in small packages.

Thanking God, HG2T, 1a02, all Rangers, srjcians, bethelites, old friends and new ones too

Special mentions include God, the entire HG2T, Mdm Ainon, Mr Mark Rozells, Jonathan Jiang, Edina, the ER commanders, Sylvia, Acz and Jarrold

I dont think I've missed anyone, feel free to slap me if I missed you. 2007 is coming soon, Im not in the habit of making resolutions but I expect more out of this next year. Like Paula said, the next year will be full of struggles. We will all need to depend heavily on God for strength. For some, its A levels, for others, its starting a new schooling environment, entering army, starting work or even getting hitched. No one knows what the future holds. "Many things about tomorrow, I dont seem to understand. But I know who holds tomorrow, and I know who holds my hand." "For I know my future's in your hands, all of my hopes and dreams and plans" - In God we trust.

My Black and White Beauty

The Corrs - Radio

It's late at night
And I'm feeling down
There're couples standing on the street
Sharing summer kisses and silly sounds

So I step inside
Pour a glass of wine
With a full glass and an empty heart
I search for something to occupy my mind

But you are in my head
Swimming forever in my head
Tangled in my dreams
Swimming forever

So listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
So listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go...

Now it's morning light
And it's cold outside
Caught up in a distant dream
I turn and think that you are by my side

So I leave my bed
And I try to dress
Wandering why my mind plays tricks
And fools me into thinking you are there

But you're just in my head
Swimming forever in my head
Not lying in my bed
Just swimming forever

So listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
So listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go...

I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go...

You are in my head
Swimming forever in my head
Tangled in my dreams
Swimming forever
(Swimming forever)
Swimming forever

So listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
So listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go...

I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
------------------------------------------------

A simple song. But speaks volumes in its simplicity. To drown you out in the ever throbbing beats of the radio, all the while remembering the songs we sang together (not that many) and the places we went (not exactly together also).

But I have other things to care about these days. Many other things.

My holiday has been very un-eventful, im not sure if im happy or upset about that. After all, an empty mind is the devil's workshop+ and im sure the devil has plenty of things to fill a nice stoning mind with. haha.

All of a sudden, a dark sense of loss has gripped me. I'll be ending here. Signing off.

The Alicantic ocean

Short one, the volunteering thing thing isnt working out for me. After finding out throughly where all that money is going I just cannot bring myself to care. But I have to, so I'll just do it. There are going to be CAs one week after school reopens, so I better start mugging.

Sunday was powerful, it does not take a camp or a special speaker to make God move and do great things.

You are the Love of my life
You are the Hope that i cling to
You mean, more than this world to me
I wouldn't trade You for silver and gold
I wouldn't trade You for riches untold
You are, You are my everything.

Dunno the title of this short song, anyone can give me a helping hand?

God, help me to love others, and you, and myself.

In my right hand, the Lost
In my left hand, my fellowmen
In my heart, You

linguistiKelly gifted

Just returned from Church Camp 06' Our guest speaker has kindly asked us not to post her name anywhere on the internet eg. on a blog like this one. So from now she will only be referenced as Ms X, and even in doing so, as little as possible.

Day one, relatively uneventful during the bus ride. I must have been zoned out from excitement and tired out from the ride because I did a milion stupid things haha. Actually only 3, but now im Dilyian -haha. Thanks ah Joel. Day 1 dinner was stupid. Not much more to say.

Day rwo. Now it gets fun.The sessions were no joke, it was direct, plain and cut to the chase. Ministry was powerful, I gave up quite alot of stuff but it just didnt feel enough. I wanted more. The food did not improve and the fact that I lived on bread alone for breeakfast wasn't comforting. Went to Sunway Lagoon dry, not alot to do but a wholoe lot of fun. Should have just gone to the Wet section =P

Day three. We wizened up and found a foolproof way to get breakfast haha. The previous day I was not satisfied, today I got more then I bargained for. So amazing, I love my cell group and mentors. I get a word about my future, but Im not sure how things will turn out. I guess all we need to do is trust and believe. Last dinner there, seems like they got smart and actually dished out some pretty good food.

Last day. So much to accomplish so little time. More uneventful riding in a slow bus. We were like bus 2 to leave but arrived later then the other buses anyawy. We stopped over at the crappy Yong Peng. It became worse then before! That is very surprising. Im glad I went to this camp, and I know my life's been changed for the better.

Nevertheless Im glad to be back home. But at this moment my headache is killing me again. Wonder what's wrong...

Quote of e Post:
Pick it up!

Can I have Annather one?

Im back!! Not that I told my beloved readers Im leaving at all =P So many thing have happened over this weekend~! So much I can't contain it, so much I gotta give it away. Yet, There's so much I dont know where to start now haha and Im having a splitting headache from having about 11 hours of sleep in four days three nights haha.

I'll put up a proper post in like a half day haha. And yes Acz, Im not someone who runs on 三分钟热度, after all, Im living for eternity- how not to be patient? :P And QX, you are so misreading that line.

First, a quiz result. (Its fun, try it you must)









Just a decent catch? Dang, im no fun at all =P

AAP

Based on:
Liz Phair - Why Can't I

Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin' down the street, and I hardly know you
It's not like we were meant to be

Wish to hold your hand and laze through the night
Got a boyfriend, i know it isn't right
Since you have someone holding you

How to go, there aint even a beginning

We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?

Isn't this the worst part of meeting up?
Finding someone else you can't get enough of,
Someone who cannot be with you

It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful?

How to go, There aint even a beginning
We haven't talked yet, but my head's spinning


Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?

High enough for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'
High enough for you to pull me under
Somethin's growin'
Outta this that I can't control
Baby I'm dyin'

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?

Whenever i think about you (x4)

Speaks for itself.

JC1 Bash was either a wonderful job or a torturous journey depending on which of my interests come first. Overall the council did a good job.

Light Up

JC one bash in two days! Tomorrow only has history from afternoon all the way till evening. Bah- but its still irritating to no end. I like fell asleep within the first part of today’s lecture la. Zzz. Made so little sense to hear so much about something we wont explicitly be tested on. At least tomorrow will be fun, because we’ll be practicing SBQs! From what I’ve gleaned it’s just a lot like Social Studies… only difference? This time you absolutely need to add in your own contextual knowledge. Meaning? Meaning you now have to study for source based! Brilliant isn’t it?

Aghhh! So many things, so little time =x Friday JC one bash, Saturday, RR + YCP briefing in the morning. Sunday, church camp briefing. Then next week- JC2 prom night and the coming Sunday its church camp already! Come back to Singapore, YCP volunteering thing things and maybe zone 2 camp. Then CCIS and there’s the RR Christmas play. By the time Christmas passes over it is only one week from the start of 2007 where the final showdown against Cambridge and the Ministry of Evil (MoE) commences. Gun those commies down!

Blessed Union of Souls – Light in Your Eyes

I can't remember the last time that we kissed goodbye
All our "I love you's" were just not enough to survive
Something your eyes never told me
But it's only now too plain to see
Brilliant disguise when you hold me
And I'm free

I've been thinking and here's what I've come to conclude
Sometimes the distance is more than two people can use
But how could I have known, girl
It was time and not space you would need?
Darling tonight, I could hold you and you would know
But would you believe..

There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
There's a place in your heart where I used to be
Was I wrong to assume that you were waiting for me?
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me?

Cards and phone calls and photographs, pictures of you
A constant reminder of all the things you get used to
Is there a chance in hell or heaven
That there's still something here to build on,
Or do you just pick up the pieces after they fall?
But after all…

There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
And a song in the words that you spoke to me
Was I wrong to believe in your melody?
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me?

Should I keep on waiting or does love keep on fading away, fading away?

It's been a while since I've seen you so how have you been?
Did you get my letter I wrote you, but I did not send?
I tried to call your old number
But the voice that I heard on the phone
I recognized but she told me the number was wrong

There's a light in my eyes but it's too bright to see
And a pain in my heart where you used to be
Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Another long time favourite of mine. Many thanks to Paula for introducing this song to me all those years ago.

So you appeared. Is my blog like a wishing post or something?

Nothing to Do

Quite pissed now. Feeling in a "I've-just-discovered-ive-been-had" feeling. Feels crappish. And there is still extra lesson on all week... till 5pm. My mouth isnt helping matters although my aching arms have recovered. Stupid tooth... Argh. Overall grumpy, tired, uncomfortable, disappointed and a whole lot of other things. And broke... money is the most ridiculous thing ever invented in human history. It has turned people into selfish, insensitive beings at a much faster rate then we naturally evil humans ought to degenerate! Not to mention it greatly inconviniences those who lack excessive quantities of such a wonderful substance...

Yesterday was qutie an interesting day, not to mention the previous week in which extra lessons just began. (another pain in the behind for sure) Econs is beginning to look alot like PoA in
our newest chapter... Really brings back bad BAD memories. Shudder... B4... crap result. If I actually got my usual A2 for humans and PoA Id have 15 points instead of 18 and it'll be
unlikely that ill have gone to SRJC. Not that SR is a bad place or anything of the sort.

Getting a little pissed off with Wai Keat. I mean, wtf is wrong with him and the student council?? They do their job, you do yours. So maybe they do trample some toes in order to get thier job done. Because as the student council, their job involves every part of the student body. What is a little money to you? Its not the price you said, its the principle of the matter. INDEED! It is the principle of the matter. Cut those poor souls some slack will you? I will not support any continued resistance against the council's upmost efforts to improve the student's satisfaction during their 2 years in SRJC. Firstly, they deserve some credit. Secondly, if you're complaining like mad, I dont see you up there doing something... Thirdly, you have crossed the logic line and are not just biased, which inevitably becomes unfair. And lastly, although some of the council may be a little irritating, none of them are horrible people. The school expects them to do thier job. It is YOUR job to SUPPORT them in any way you can. So much for being a "service cca".

Lighthouse - You and Me

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

I’ve loved this song for so long and yet I never found it. There are a lot of songs which I really like but do not know anything about. All I have are a few lines floating about in my memories, set to a ever fading tune that threatens to vanish completely if the memory is not relived. Sad to say, those songs have yet to be found. One down, and a million more to go.

Why do you refuse to appear?

Life Note

I always find things out, too little, too late, a little too late even. And I wished, back then, I knew and I could have done something. Because we're friends, and because you're worth the effort. Now that I come to think of it, we look at the past too much. You may have had a sad, lonely or even painful past. A past which none of us need to remember and have put in place excellent countermeasures and precautions to avoid bringing up again. But everytime I see you, it all comes back. To draw a bond, we inevitably bring up the past again and it gets wierd. We've grown older, not necessarily wiser. But we've changed. I hope thats enough.

Got to find a break from all this emo stuff, on the blog I mean.

Each day I see the extreme, on one hand, the super mundane, vulgar and largely illegible posts of someone on a adolescent hormone high. On the other I see horribly sad gothic posts whose writers seem to carry the weight of the world on thier shoulders even though all they blog about is their own miserable selves. And the large majority who write very boring things about thier daily lives, I myself am ashamed to be part of this. Then there are those wonderful insightful buggets of gold we find buried here and there. Im very fortunate to find one myself so close to home. Insightful, intelligently entertaining and sometimes quite curios. All blogs should be this entertaining- a pity that the freedom of anonymity seems to sap a large portion of one's intelligence despite the fact that they know those reading are under no delusion as to the writer's identity.

Yes, Im a hypocrite, Im guilty, so shoot me already.

No, for the millionth time, I havent watched the Death Note movie despite the "L" avatar in my msn messenger. I am a staunch believer in the fact that in the process of print to screen there inevitably will be content lost. And a person like me, who thrives on the itty gritty details and accuracy cannot tolerate such things. The character behaves in a way that isnt relevant to the book? Slam. The invention of a character that did not even EXIST in the book in order to slip in more action? Heaven forbid! A vital scene is cut out and replaced by a brief explaination to save time? Im reaching for the pitchfork already. As such, all the Potter movies, Narnia and to some small extent, the LOTR movies are lost to me (although I have watched the LOTR trilogy, which started me on this rampage) and however entertaining, would be a severe blow to my pride and principles if I am to spend money to watch it (mega hint) youtube obliges.

Death Note is a captivating story not for the layman. Many a friend of mine have laughed off their inability to follow the long and winding story which at times contains little to no action whatsoever. I laugh along and take offence silently. How foolish they are- the gold is in the dialouge. The way both Light, and his alter ego Kira, outsmart L and the two tango back and forth. Waiting for a slip up on either side, which would lead to a winner. The irony of Light and L, both being so similar, being the justice and yet Light being Kira, the antihero is astounding. An excellent literary work. The drama continues with Near and Mello, and as we all know, ultimately, evil will never win as Kira's plotting goes overboard and he traps himself in his overconfidence. Brilliant but heavy stuff, not for the simple minded, it will give them splitting headaches.

Extra lesson are her eto plauge us again! Along with more holiday work to be done *sigh* this is not entirely unexpected though. Best be cracking.

By the way..

51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.

You are a total skeptic when it comes to luck.
You believe that people use luck as a crutch to avoid responsibility.
You control your own destiny. The universe has nothing to do with it.
You believe everything can be explained - and you tend to over analyze situations.

You have a good deal of power, but you also know the pecking order.
You realize that working the system does get you further.
You know who to defer to and who to control.
When it comes to the game of life, you play things flawlessly.


And a song :)

Bowling for Soup - Almost

I almost got drunk at school at 14
Where I almost made out with the homecoming queen
Who almost went on to be miss texas
But lost to a slut with much bigger breastes
I almost dropped out to move to LA
Where I was almost famous for almost a day

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn’t cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished u would’ve loved me too

I almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did 5 years and then 7 more
Cuz I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
Cuz he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on cuz you ran away
And I wish I woulda had the nerve to ask you to stay

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn’t cut it
Almost had you
And I didn’t even know it

You kept me guessing and now I guess that
I spent my time missing you
I almost wish you would’ve loved me too

Here I go thinking about all the things I could’ve done
I’m gonna need a forklift cuz all the baggage weighs a ton
I know we’ve had our problems I can’t remember one

I almost forgot to say something else
And if I cant fit it in I’ll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all open and I threw it away

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn’t cut it
Almost had you
And I didn’t even know it

You kept me guessing and now I guess that
I spent my time missing you
And I almost had you

I almost wish you would’ve loved me too
-------------------------------------------

I promise to slip in a proper post when I actually remember what I have been doing with my life the past few weeks...

How I Go

YellowCard - How I Go

I could tell you the wildest of tales
My friend the giant and traveling sales
Tell you all the times that I failed
The years all behind me
The stories exhaled.
And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go

I could tell you of a man not so tall
Who said life's a circus and so we are small
Tell you of a girl that I saw
I froze in the moment and she changed it all

And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go
Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters flow
Flow...

Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me

And you keep the air in my lungs
Floating along as a melody comes
And my heart beats like timpani drums
Keeping the time while a symphony strums
And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go
Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters flow...
Flow....
Let it flow
Let it flow

Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me
Son I leave you now but you have so much more to do
And every story I have told is part of you

This song has been TORMENTING me for days. Ever since I heard Emmx singing it during PW, I just couldnt figure out the title or the words- it drove me nuts. And when I got the title, it wasn't avaliable for download ANYWHERE. The elusive song hid from me and evaded all my attempts to acquire it until I asked Emmx to send it to me. This is a very strange song. Not that its a bad song. No, its excellent, Im absolutely smitten. But my usual choice of songs either make sense to me or have meaningful lyrics. This one did'nt mean nuts until I went to do abit of research intothe movie that inspired this song. Big Fish. Sounds familiar? Big Fish is a beautiful movie- not that I've watched it. But now this song's allure has been amplified hundredfold I just cannot stop listening to it. Becoming such an emo fellar.

Over the past 4 days, a ton has happened. On Tuesday we had our class bbq at Oli's house! Pity for the 5 odd people who didnt turn up because it was an absolute blast! Words fail to describe how it was you just have to be there to know it. We got alot closer and [somewhat] steeled ourselves for the next day... 25th Oct Wed. Results Day!! Very sad day, not everyone made it although majority did. Yolanda and Shawn Wee had to retain- I am shocked. Why Yolanda?! Why Shawn?! Why any at all? I know Shawn from PW, he may be a little distracted now and then but he does work hard at what he does. I dont know alot about Yolanda, but... I have nothing more to say about this issue. We may have split but what has passed will forever remain. 061A02, Never Forget. As we forge ahead to year 2, I wonder what amazing and terrifying fates await us... We can only but wait and see. Today was commendation day! Just a large long waste of my time- and Im a prize winner! How much more boring it would be for the audience who aren't winning anything at all. The cheerleaders were hilarious. Someone should have taken a video of it~

Best in GP, big whoop. Getting Es and Ds for everything else- there was little to no pride going on stage to be a "prize-winner". GP wont take me through the A levels... my H2s will. And currently I suck big time at econs and history. Especially history~ my gosh. I dont know how they moderated a bunch of fails into a passing promo grade. But I do know for sure it will not happen again at the A-levels. Yes, Im scared. But I can only but press on. A legacy to live up to. We'll continue making A2 the best arts class :)

Ever the Same

Crossfade - Cold
Looking back at me I see
That I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in
Things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Something strong
Like a drug that gets me high

What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold to you

And I'm sorry about all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You could see me stand on my own again
Cause now i can see
You were the antidote that got me by
Something strong like a drug that got me high
I never meant to be so cold

I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me there’s just no hope
I never meant to be so cold
-----------------------------------------
Wednesday, October 18th 2006. Promos paper checking day- I am so dead. I didn’t even make the 30 point mark. So far just by the papers alone without the addition of mid years this is the basic rundown. Please note the numbers above are estimates before moderation and addition of mid-year and non-pen-paper assessment. Those are raw scores translated from the actual papers I sat for and thus cannot be taken as the end product.

History: S [Was E]
Econs: U [Was E] (This is the surprising one, I never expected to get a U)
Lit: D [Was S] (The only improvement, but not enough to cover the U)
Math: U [Was D] (Another unexpected hunk of rubbish, twos U liao, how to pass?)
Chinese: E [Was S] (A slight improvement and this is the lowest E at that)
GP: B [Was B] (No change, damn irritated)

Quite despairing isn’t it? I still haven't told my parents anything, I'll wait for the final product before I leak any news out. After all, they aren't coming for commendation day anyway. Why? Because I didn’t win anything that’s why. Did I study hard enough? I don’t think so~ but did I mug? Yes, about 3 weeks before promos though. Was that enough? Far from enough, it was absolutely inefficient. Why did I study? Partially, because I wanted, with all my heart, to promote and enter J2 on my strength. Not to be kicked up the ladder via the “advanced” route. Is that the school’s version of pity points? And the other half… I don’t know~ Atmosphere maybe?

Tertiary camp starts tomorrow till Sunday. Meaning I won’t be home or online. And I’ll be unable to download anything or do any PW thing things. Not that I’ll want to do any Chinese or PW anyway. Browsing through my messenger I found something. “You are a success in God’s kingdom is you are faithful where He has placed you.” Where He has placed me? Rangers? HG2? I don’t know. The theme of tomorrow’s camp is “Back to Basics”. Without all the fluff and glamour. Without all the people looking and your duties. Back to the very basics. *points* That’s where I want to be.

McFly - Its About You
Its all about you
(Its about you)
Its all about you baby
Its all about you
(Its about you)
Its all about you

Yesterday you asked me something I thought you knew
So I told you with a smile
Its all about you

Then you whispered in my ear and you told me too
Said you'd made my life worth while
Its all about you

And I would answer all your wishes
If you asked me to
But if you denie me one of your kisses
Don't know what ild do

So hold me close and say three words like you used to do
Dancing on the kitchen tiles
Its all about you yeah

And I would answer all your wishes
If you asked me to
But if you denie me one of your kisses
Don't know what ild do

So hold me close and say three words like you used to do
Dancing on the kitchen tiles
Yes you made my life worth while
So I told you with a smile
Its all about you

Its all about you
(Its about you)
Its all about you baby
Its all about you
(Its about you)
Its all about you baby

Its all about you

Its all about you baby

Great song huh? Found it on someone's blog, pretty catchy and simple. Its a real short song, about 2:30 give and take a few seconds. New on my english favourites along with Chasing Cars and Time Machine. What is common about these 3 songs that made my list? They all make perfect sense with which I can relate, simple as that. I like my songs meaningful, which would instantly cancel out club type music (urgh) and rapping.

Promos may be over, but it still aint over until the results are all out. And Project Work demands Oral Presentation and Written Report. A levels demands chinese. The computer demands a working Cd-drive. My wallet demands a fattening. My glasses demand a balance fix. My mind demands I make up my mind. So many demands (alright, not so many but it looks like alot) but so little resources. But just the thought of promos being over puts a chunk of it away from mind. Hmmm... I wonder, is there still PE on thursday? O wait, no- zZz it is PW and chinese intensive week(s). What a nice way to relax after promos (blegh)

Todays CET was pretty fun. Of course, with the teacher being George Ong, whats not fun about it? He was teaching on platonic relationships (heh) and since that class was for us "poor under 19s" who fall under the "under 19" rule, naturally the hour was spent telling us how to maintain platonic relationships. Surprising thing is how few of the people actually responded that platonic relationships are possible! I mean, if they aren't possible then what in the world would a student in a co-ed school do? They'll go insane for sure! And I got round thinking, if they don't believe in platonic relationships then what exactly is going on their their lives aside from Sundays, Fridays and Thursday night? O.o Now I really dont want to think about it.

Faust, my dear beloved persona. I think its time, I retire you. Today was a turning point in my life, I do not want to hide behind a false name again. Especially not one which is tied to the forces of darkness. I from this moment forth free myself from you. Faust is no more, only Chang Xiang, and if i need a nick, ChanX will be it. Sounds like chance- its a good one isnt it? ^_^

I was so bored during chinese (because I couldnt write my compo... dont know what to write) that I wrote these long lines. Stupid stuff, read it if you like. Just take it at face value ya?

A golden sunray peeks through the clouds above
Like a sword cutting through the restraints of armor
Inside the soul huddles in fear and darkness
Come with Me, you'll be safe here
Immediately she accepts her sweet rest
Above all powers above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Nothing compares to His great love
Nothing seperates us from Your love
Pass no judgement on me
Heaven rejoices in a new soul saved
Under the skies there reigns jubilee
All but those who wear tight their suit

Just one touch, just one touch of Your hand
Everything will be alright
All the world is at peace
No more anguish, no more sorrow
Your power is that unfanthomable
Inside me, over me, the hunger grows

From the very first sight you were different
In view a sickly pale
Distubingly enough thats how you are
Everytime you appear
Sometimes I think you might be crazy
Chances are I'm slightly right
Hope this craziness wont infect me
As I await the coming of your night
Nothing then shall stop me, but I might

Remind me to find better use for chinese compo paper next time k? Promos makes me crazy. MT promos made me crazier. The snazzy new sitting arrangement for MT made me even crazier. Thank God for craziness.

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
We have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call'd me here below,
Will be forever mine.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
---------------------------------

I just kept singing this throughout Friday's papers. I dont know why- it makes me calm.

Promos are over, yet I do not feel especially happy. Im... whats the word... ambivalent.

Day V

Well haha, I didnt realise it but my previous post was this blog's 300th Post!! Yay!

Thought this would be fun, so gave it a go.

The requirements:

1. Put your music player on shuffle
2. Press forward for each question
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question (but it seems you can insert lyrics from the song if you want lah… in addition to the title…so if it’s suitable, just go ahead lah)

1. How am I feeling today?
Time Hughes – Jesus, You Alone

Comment: Totally random. Positively speaking, focused maybe? Negatively, lets just emphasise on the word “alone”

Hillary Duff - Fly

Comment: At face value, I’ll get married on an airplane. Right

3. What is my best friend’s theme song?
Matt Redman – Blessed Be Your Name

4. What was high school like?
Utada Hikaru – Simple and Clean

Kita He – Hop, Step, Jump

Comment: Okay… My greatest asset are my feet/legs?

6. How is today going to be?
McFly – The Guy that Turned Her Down

7. What is in store for this weekend?
Planet Shakers – Everything’s Changed

Comments: Whoo hoo! Am I ever glad =) Let’s pray this time the change is permanent .

8. What song describes my parents?
Jay Chou – Jian Dan Ai

Casting Crowns – Praise You in this Storm

Comment: Promos are this storm, and I will praise you Lord through it all. Thank you for the confirmation.

10. What song will they play at my funeral?

In place of you, the staff of hope
will probably lead us to the end of the light”

Comment: A sad song of separation between friends… Is this how the story ends?

13. Do people secretly lust after me?
Do as Infinity – Week!

If I find them
I can fly towards the future, right?”

“Even I have times when I don't understand, baby
Whenever you're in tears, I'm by your side
Even on nights when we're apart, I'm by your side
I'm by your side”

Comment: Lovestuck… I wish I could…

19. What does everyone else think about my current life?
T.M. Revolution – Ignited

“A heart without even one thing to hold on to
En route to solitude, there is a world losing sight”

24. What will your dying words be?
Finger Eleven – One Thing

“If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something”

Comment: How appropriate. Indeed before I die I’ll be glad to be able to say I have done one thing that was worth my time on earth. One of my Favourite songs of all time for its meaningfulness.

25. When I’m having sex I say…
Relient K – This week the Trend

Comment: Self-explanatory. Lets try the newest trend this week =P

26. When I meet the guy/lady for the first time I say…

Relient K – My Girl’s Ex-boyfriend

“He's the guy that you should feel sorry for
He had the world but he thought that he wanted more
I owe it all to the mistake he made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend”

Comment: Umm, wow. When my parents are angry I’ll sympathise with those who are worse off lol.
----------------------------

My Zen encompasses only 577 songs, impressive how much of the results were Christian based. God is speaking, in more ways than one now. I guess i'll have to start listening soon.

Econs tomorrow. All in one, a very big chunk to cover. Thats three solid hours of writing to get over. But at least I have no paper on Thursday. Todays History was horrible... I didnt have time to finish and I ran out of points. I dont have ten dates per essay either. Both ways Im screwed. And My cold war is much better then South East Asia. If this is how well "much better" is... I see no forseeable hope for histroy as an A level subjet. And no foreseeable future for me as a JC graduate.

Everything is converging on one spot. One wicked point at which I cannot run from. Time to face the music, time to stop running away.

Quote of e Post:
If I could only let you know...

Day III

When the clock inched to 1pm and you were still missing I was worried. What if you went and did something stupid. Its only lit paper 2, please don’t let anything be wrong. Turns out you just left school for lunch and was a little late in coming back. I was relieved when Mr Rozells managed to contact everyone who was missing and confirm their safety. But you had to return with company- what a damper.

Lit is a difficult subject to do when your pessimism skews your interpretation of optimistic poems. But yesterday's poem was inspiring enough to show off in its full glory the light and message the poet wanted to express, according to my interpretation that is. How fun. I had a picnic writing section a, so much so I had to stop to start on Lear otherwise Id fail haha. But I think I screwed up King Lear.

Four more days, four more papers. I really really am going to die for history. No matter what I tell others, I cant endure on my own. At least, Id have helped someone else to promote, encouraged someone to do better. Right? History paper 1, econs, Math then History paper 2. Pray that everyone will make it through, happily, successfully- to fight again at the end of next year. Not just amongst ourselves, but to pit our strength against the best in the world. "All the worlds a stage" How will we act, how will we perform?

Should I go for zone camp? It clashes with some Media Club activity. And I don't have the luxury of time to wait and see. Either way there will be a party that feels cheated. And prom night. So we'll be going as part of the media crew, alright, no biggie. But Id be dead if we have to actually dress up to get in. Dress up to be part of the background? That’s logical but crappy. Just as crappy as having to underline the topic sentences in your history essays, sure it helps the tutors identify your argument more easily but making jus spend time to actually mark it out? What the blue?

Day III

Stupid blogger ate up my last post, I was so irritated I never reposted it ZzZ

You jackass. You never told anyone of us. We're your cell group damnnit, if you need to confide in somone we exist! If you dont say, we'll never know if you've got problems. Well yea, besides stress and exams and shit like that- we're your friends too. Even you said your peeps at school tihnk you spend more time with us then them. So why aren't we in the know? Guess you have alot on your mind too huh? Registration closes on the 22nd of Oct, I think we can wait abit until then huh? I'll be waiting for your answer then.

Tomorrow is day III. Lit paper 2, if I dont do moderately well in my opinion for this paper I will fail Literature again. And mr Steven Tay is going to chew me out. The kid who begged his way into Lit even though he didnt take Literature at O-level. I already screwed up paper 1, if I cant score in paper 2, it will be like mid years all over again. Not to mention next years As will be insane.

If you're a girl, fill out the girls' confessions, and put an 'x' next to each that apply.
If you're a guy, fill out the guys', and put an 'x' next to each that apply also.
Have fun! [Don't forget to delete the x's if you're the opposite sex =)]

D-Day, Day 1

Day One down. GP is over... Oh my I really screwed up paper 2. Seems like paper 2 really stumped alot of people. But looks, exasparated outbursts and blog posts can be decieving and I'll console myself by assuming everyone else managed to do exceedingly well for paper 2 and Im the only jackass who has time mangement problems. Barely manged to scratch out AQ before the final call was given. Its not tough to understand that paper 2, the words they use just make it look complex. I had to keep psyching my self up, saying "this is the fun one" while shaking in my pants. GP is everything, you fail GP, you fail everything.

And for me, anything less than a B is a fail.

Paper one was indefinitely more enjoyable. Surprisingly I did a question Im rather sure only a few people attempted. Qn8, "Technology has improved quality of life" How true is it? I know for one Vanessa (SC Vice-president) and some friend of Shaun Sim's did that too but other than those 2 I heard of no one else. From what I hear seems like I wrote less then most people ZzZ, many boasted a good 5 pages while I had to settle for 4. Dredging points together while not losing focus (at least I THINK I didnt) up to a measly 4 pages. Maybe they left lines or something... I need to console myself.

Tomomrrow is chinese, my goodness, why chinese T.T Just get it over and done with. Then another fun paper. Lit paper 1, everyone is going to be there- just like today. Everyone is a contender, everyone is a combatant in this large melee. I just pray and fight my hardest, hoping I do not leave the stadium in a body bag. Im not a casualty, I wont be a casualty. Fight on, for your reason. What reason? Why do you fight? I dont know. Then why keep fighting? Because I have to. No reason? No reason.

My pen shall be my sword and my knowledge my shield, the marker shall be the strike and the script the parry. And my wit, the fatal blow, with as much strength behind the blade, to pierce the depths of this horror and emerge, alive. Then we stall wait the judges decision on our fate. The thumb of destiny. Thumbs up or thumbs down.

Draw your sword and point them heaven-wards. We shall let the powers above decide who is worthy with our performance. Be rentless, be sharp and be vigilant. One day down, only another 8 days or so to go. May God be with us all.

Makube X

D-Day for operation Promotional Exams, approx 10 hours to 0800 hours 28/07/2006. The day before tomorrow isnt so scary, is it? Well aside from the pumping heart and sweaty palms, thoughts of failure and more specualation about what awaits us tomorrow, everything is fine. Really.

Things were never like this in the past... or were they? Os? Was I this panicky? No, I think in the face of the Os I was alot more panicky. So why now at a higher plane of education the feeling dampens? Shouldnt it intensify as this round of testing approaches?

I can understand how Makubex feels... So pissed off with this life, where you dont know if you are real. You learn everything is controlled by a higher power. You exist because that higher power wills it to. So you decide to prove your existance. You create a device, capable of destroying everything, and you strike a deal with whoever is supposed to be there.

"A Deal! Take us back to the Old days! When the Volts were still here, we had a fabulous time when everyone was together! If that is impossible...I'll return everything to nothingness!"

You hope, that they'll care, you hope, that you'll make a difference. But you are ignored. Dont push the button, if you do, everyone will die, and there will be no chance things will ever go back to the way they were, not even the slightest chance. For all that genius, you lose your way. Hold your ground, believe.


I am Makubex.
Which GetBackers Character Are You?



You are intelligent, capable, and exceptionally talented. You are
dedicated to your work, and rightfully confident in your capabilities.
Be careful about holding any long-term grudges, however, as the
bitter feelings generated by such vendettas can poison your mind
and cloud your judgement. It’s also quite possible that those plans,
no matter how well designed, can blow up in your face.
---------------------------

I knew it all along, although Id prefer very much to be Emishi or Shido, I still know. They way I think, I work, is just like Makubex. We even tried the same trick, difference being I couldn't actually do anything- I just didnt have the resources and power to. Which also means, if I could, I would. This world is infected, the virus has entered the system, we can only purge it, reformatt the system, push the reset button.

Bright Side

2 Days, the countdown gets ever shorter. Covered almost NOTHING today. Feel like jank, exam period is like a roller coaster ride, one moment you're high the next moment you're down and yet all the time you feel sick.

不可思议

More news, Osama MIGHT be dead- again.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/09/23/terror/main2035760.shtml

Anyway, just how amny times must the "Osama is dead" news go around? And all the past few times it was all false. Physically, Osama will have to die one day. but his "spirit" lives on forever, as long as terrorism exists (Or as long as the US thinks Terrorism is an overwhelming problem) Osama lives on in our minds. The perpetrator of 911, the catalyst for this worldwide focus on terrorism.

Promos in 3 days. I have not touched Econs or Lit. I do not have any idea how to study for it.. hmmx. Econs however, I might have a clue, but time is running out even as I speak. Cold War itself has taken me 3 days, wthy the flare? If i studied at this rate like 1 month ago Id be souped up for promos but now? Oh my goodness, I'll be forced to sacrifice one H2 subject to ensure I pass the other 2 and my H1.

Im so bored of History im like randomly surfing the net when I found this really sweet webpage. Guess once in a while, flukes happen and dreams do come true. Story of my life yea? Anyway, go look it up if you want, might warm your heart a little.

http://www.geocities.com/ben_jennie/

Feeling GOOD- not because Promos are in three days and Im not done revising but because its Sunday night, and there's no school tomorrow (although I AM going back to school to practice muggeristic muggerism) So going to die in promos. Can promote, but I dont think i'll be able to compete. Covering econs with Paula tomorrow... what else am I missing? Oh yes, Lit ZzZ.

SPD

Everyone who passes through the SRJC should pick up "Miss Remarkable and her Career". Thats is so exactly me, oh my gosh- well not 100% but that book is like my life story through my eyes. Beautiful piece of work.

You know what? I think Faust is SPD! No, not Space Patrol Delta (watch too much power rangers will become like that). SPD stands for Schizoid Personality Disorder. Oh my! Sounds so serious and dangerous. Nah, it isnt.

A mnemonic that can be used to remember the criteria for schizoid personality disorder is SOLITARY.

S – shows emotional coldness
O – omits close relationships
L – lacks close friends or confidants
I – involved in solitary activities
T – takes pleasure in few activities
A – appears indifferent to praise or criticism
R – restricted interest in sexual experiences
Y – yanks himself or herself from social relationships

Oh my, now it sounds even MORE serious than I thought. but wait-

"SPD is believed by some to correlate with the INTJ and INFJ personality types in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). SPD is far more common among males than among females, although this could be due in part to the fact that schizoid symptoms are far less socially acceptable in women."

Its normal see? More normal than you think anyway- INFJs are awesome people. Dont take my word for it, try it! Oh wait, here's more-

"While people who have SPD can also suffer from clinical depression, this is certainly not always the case. Unlike depressed people, persons with SPD generally do not consider themselves inferior to others, although they will probably recognise that they are different."

Im like so not depressed or I wouldnt be doing all this jank? Ha-

"Treatment is usually not necessary, and people with this personality type don't really care if they are seen as having a mental disorder, so they generally do not seek psychological treatment, except when they are compelled to enter therapy to solve another problem, such as an addiction. They may benefit from social skills training, although it can be argued that an improvement in social skills does not address the personality disorder itself."

No treatment necessay, the best part of all. Its normal man, all normal. But for now, we must suppress Faust with the Category Ace. Faust must never appear in school, or else where. He is caged, he is sealed by the Ace of Clubs. Now then, where is Mr Loh? Oh yes, he is lost amongst the sea of woes surrounding Promos. Sad stuff, sad guy.

Here's Faust, signing off.

Silver Pen

Today was such a slacky day that I dont know where the equivalent trade from monday went (yesterday was not too bad a day either) So I guess I get teasers once every two days, yea I can live on those. 7 More days to promos, I guess those tutors really really want to help us pass huh? haha. Its quite patheic really, the little nuggets of pleasure I sneak away for myself amidst all the turmoil and insanity of the coming promos. I dont know why but even though I cant make sense of it all, nothing feels out of place. Its all good.

Intro everyone a nice song, by everyone's favourite non political podcast producer. Mr Brown himself.

<>
Mr Brown and Mr Miyagi

(You know Ben, i’m sian. why are you sian? i’ll tell you)

i try to cook but got burn by the frying pan
MRT door tu tu tu nearly kena my hand
all the girls that i know say only see me as friend
nah bei lift at my block just break down again

|chorus|
i wake up in the morning and i dunno who i am
i am sian….
sian…
i’m not happy i’m not sad, but i sure know where i went
i am sian….
so sian…
i’m just walking down the street and i dunno wad to eat
i am sian….
sian…
every second every minute every hour every day
i am sian….
sian…
how did i get so sian

got a job interview but got hole in my pants
go see show but the fella in front damn tall can
my PC kena virus and the toilet flush spoil
my brand new handphone kena drop in cooking oil

|chorus|

ahhhhhhh i’m so frus(trated) (X4)

sunny in the morning and its raining in the night
i am sian….
sian…
the weather cannot change and neither can my life
i am sian….
sian…
i’m talkin to myself cos theres really no one else
i am sian….
sian…
i may think i have a choice but i really have a voice
i am sian….
sian…
how did i get so sian
---------------------

What a nonsensical song haha! But it provided a few laughs, and makes you feel really really miserable like. After looping it about 10 times you will be REALLY sian.

Im just that bored haha. Loving each and every day.

Started by Emmanuel and Crystal I think- very interesting. Quite interesting.

I shall not post the rest of the results lest I become labelled as some emo wierdo who is trying to look pitiful. I may fit standard avoidant sterotypes but I do really want to be normal. Help me.

Today was an awesome day, absolutely wonderful. Almost nothing went wrong, and I felt nothing could go wrong. From outdoor PE to lessons (especially GP, its the only thing Im good at actually) to the tiny incident just outside school. Of course, Im still waiting for equivalent trade to kick in and screw me over. Remember, for everything great that happens, something of equal disasterous value will happen and punch you in the gut. You just got to see it coming and grit your teeth. But im satisfied for now. Thats what matters. Im happy.

Heck, I'll post em anyhow, no one reads this blog anyway.

The Centre of the Universe

Pushing my trolley in the supermarket,
I am the centre of the universe;
Up and down the aisles of beans and juices,
I am the centre of the universe;
It does not matter that I live alone;
It does not matter that I am a jilted lover;
It does not matter that I am a misfit at my job;
I am the centre of the universe.

I'm always here, if you want me -
For I am the centre of the universe.

I enjoy being the centre of the universe.
It is not easy being the center of the unsiverse.
But I enjoy it.
I take pleasure in,
I delight in,
Being the centre of the universe.
At six o'clock a.m. this morning I had a phone call;
It was from a friend, a man in Los Angeles;
"Paul, I don't know what time it is in Dublin
But I simply had to call you:
I cannot stand LA so I thought I'd call you."
I calmed him down the best I could.

I'm always here, if you want me -
For I am the centre of the universe.

I had barely put down the phone when it rang again,
This time from a friend in Sao Paulo in Brazil:
"Paul do you know what is the population of Sao Paulo?
I will tell you; it is twelve million skills.
Twelve million feet in one footbath.
Tweleve million eyes in one fishbowl.
It is unspeakable, I tell you, unspeakable."
I calmed him down.

I'm always here, if you want me -
For I am the centre of the universe.

But then when the phone rang a third time and it was not yet 6.30a.m.,
The petals of my own hysteria began to wake up and unfurl.
This time it was a woman i knew in New York city:
"Paul- New York City is a Cage",
And she began to cry a little over the phone,
To sob over the phone,
and from five thousand miles away i mopped up her tears.
I dabbed each tear from her cheek.
With just a word or two or three from my calm voice.

I'm always here, if you want me -
For I am the centre of the universe.

But not tonight it is myself;
Sitting at my aluminum double-glazed window in Dublin city:
Crying just a little bit into my black tee-shirt.
I only there was just one human being out there
with whom I could make a home? Share a home?
Just one creature out there in the night -
Is there not one creature out there in the night?
In Helsenki, perhaps? Or in Reykjavik?
Or in Chapelizod? Or in Malhide?
So you see, I have to clam myself down also
If I am to remain the centre of the universe;
It's by no means an exclusively self-centred automatic thing
Being the centre of the universe

I'm always here, if you want me -
For I am the centre of the universe.
---------------------------------------------

So tired, it is 2 am and I just felt alot like typing out this poem. No idea why, I like it alot.

I am the Sai-Kang warrior. Special mutant ability, to kena arrow to do all the things no one else wants to do. Come palette I'll be teaching photography for an hour long session. How to do that?? T.T My facts are messed up- most of the time I talk cock only. How to teach so many people! I only taught like 5 people that time and screwed up majorly le- now how to teach one whole cca? Im imagining numbers like 20 to 30ish?

I wonder if one day, I too will have to make the sacrifice? Others over myself, the army, values civilians above all others. What of war do I know? The horrors of fighting. For peace? For Justice? For the safety and soverignity of our nation? NS sounds like such a uncertain and unfeeling time.
