Today's Concert Got Me Thinking...

I decided to do away with the date things... they SUCK! And they are boring too ^^ Anyway today is the eve of teachers day. After watching the concert at school I just went straight home. Met Gibson Soh on the way home, NOT a good walking companinon, kept singing stupid gang songs riddled with expletives, good thing I mangaed to drop him halfway... simple minded fool.

Anyway, that concert wasnt too bad but im sorry,... The band... Your "Reason" sucked. First, you forgot your lyrics halfway. Second, You sang out of tune, Third, You SCREECHED! I almost had to cover my ears to stop them from going bust! But I commend your bravery for daring to go up on stage, they may boo you but I dont see them up there doing BETTER! Great job people!

Then there was that performance by the Band of Brothers, Im sad to say their singing was just BAD. Especially that guy in the middle (the guy who always asks the police ppl who make assembly speeches perverted questions). Oh well, I kinda enjoyed.. LAUGHING my ass out listening to them try to belt out those westlife songs. Excellent job to our own Singapore Idol hopeful (even though i can see WHY you didnt make it ...) Try harder next time k? Put Peicai on the MAP!

I JUST realised after typing so much athat my "delete" key is not working.... very uncomfortable and unnatural not to use delete...

Anyway, the malay girls put on a flawless performance, however there is much to be desired from the other two groups... The first group of Girl Guides (I think) were pretty good, they just lacked that bit of practice (ok not that bit, that LOT) and coordination, the two girls at the most outer left and right sides were struggling to keep up, constantly glancing sideways to gain confirmation of thier actions. Also, they dressed kinda unappropriately, hey I bet the councillors were having a great time looking at them "zhao geng" while they twirled and swished on stage. Next is the bomber... I expected so much when Ying Ping first burst out from those pink curtains with her white top and long dual pink coloured skirt looking like a picture taken from some dream holiday travel magazine right off the page looking like a beautiful goddess... ok enough about that basically it was a letdown. First, Genevie should be decked out in the same dress kind as the Fazelah and YP! Second, they had a few co-ordination problems, not as many as the Girl Guides group but more obvious and much much more devastating.

Anyhoo, i think they all have done extremly well considerin that the graduating classes are having their prelims soon and they really really need that time to study. Keep on k? ^_^

Last night, I made "first contact" with you know who... it wasnt too long cos my half-wit father shooed me off to go and do something. We talked about anything the conversation steered us too, but i gave many openings, asking questions. Very scary when I learnt that the Perfect 10 was such a popular radio station amongst our peers... good thing that ONE IMPORTANT dedication was not heard or I would'nt be able to sit here and talk about this now. When I returned later I was surprised to still find em around, then we talked some more, still random stuff... but more personal having set down a sort of foundation to talk about more solid things like likes and dislikes, tastes in music and stuff. Hope that there's more to come, I throughly ejoyed that talk and learned alot from it, hope I can progress but still looks too hard given the circumstances... but at least now, there is HOPE.

Now, im gonna post an apology to anyone who was offended by my previous post, I was abit ruffled that morning and had a bone to pick with someone, not the best of moods so to say, so yeah, Im really sorry. I will not take it down though, after all, it breaks no rules (except my own...)

Ok thats all for now... Just need to take time and plan for the future... wonder how life will turn out however... check out my quote of the post. Cya! ^_^

29th August, Sunday

As the weekend draws close to an end, the same heavy feeling of dragging myself to school pulls me in again. Imagine! Even on the last week of school we still have a test going on, not that bad until you count that it is on the last period on FRIDAY!

This coming holidays we have both our english and chinese orals. To prepare myself I've decided from now on I will listen to chinese music when Im on the comp in addition to listening to chinese raido programmes instead oh english ones. Unforturnately this "foreign" language has left me with no idea what songs are nice and what aren't I appreciate anyone who can help! ^_^ Thanks!

Sigh, Recently ive been seeing too many blogs go silent, about a week or so ago I stated that I admire Cheryl (Yes, Cheryl Seah) for updating frequently, but it seems like it has been almost three days and still not a word from her. Guess even machines can break down sometimes, much less people.

Im sick and tired or being sick and tired of complaining about my class. Recently they all boycotted a chemistry test, noycotted as in they displayed thier "class unity" by not taking the test together (even though it was only about 12 people) In the end the VP turned up and stopped the protests. AFter that we had to write a letter to her about what we felt about the incident and to include ALL DETAILS about what happened. I gave brief outline but it ran into two pages long. ^_^ OF course I mentioned no names, This class will be with me till enxt year so I better watch my step.

Im still elated over my getting those As for my CA2... heck I realised (unforturnately) due to alittle chat with Gabriel that if I had made it on to 4I again this year I will have a chance to pass my Os, then again I did not understand too much last year so how could it be? Then thinking back, if I did I wouldnt have all these problems would I? I would stil be able to stick with my batch of people (no matter what happens) and at very least have a familiar bunch around during the Os. MOre importantly I would still be within sights of my various goals in life... now fallen out of reach.

I recently told this guy that I didn't like our current class and that I didn't want to take the OS with a buch or strangers. That REALLY hit his raw spot, he asked me if I thought them as strangers, Big mistake I made there, but I said yes, because I don't know any of them well compared to the people Ive spent my last 3 years with. He was like stunned and immediately ran off to huddle with his friends and whisper secretively. I don't care. They are my stepping stones to success, as much as I can get from this postition. Every subject they give up and every test they fail pushes me up the ranking, nearer to the top. Those blockheads have no idea at all, how stupid, playing their life away on stupid pointless things.

Relationships, Im going to "Shoot" a whole bunch of people like this but I don't care I have many enemies already a few more won't matter will it? BGR, I tel lyou those people are the omst stupid people in the world! Love is blind? NO! THEY ARE BLIND! Love, you use it too often and abuse it... soon it has lost it's meaning and become a common thing. Love is scared and precious. "Modern" times hsa turned love into a mockery, love has become sex and relationships are non-existant, most relationships NOW hold due to the not wanting to hurt the other party's "feelings" or whatever.

I know, I have no right so say all these having not tasted the "sweetness of love" but this is bullsh*t. It is so fake, so artificial, so shallow. The wasted hours, the wasted money, all those can be spent in better ways on better things. "Modern" trends and the mass-media has cheapened love, when I look at those people holding hands and hugging I want to laugh... what a useless waste of time. Go concentrate on your future! This school is not worth tying your life down on! Stabalise yourself before trying to head into such uncharted waters! Love is not all fluffy as you see... no one warned you, no one will, why? They want to keep this, fantasy, this illusion alive! Love is not duty, love is not taking, love ... is not what YOU have imagined.

Upset? Tell me, tag or send me and e-mail, let me see your argument and reson for defending this rubbish.

*panting* I really need to cool down and relax... send me a joke or whatever k? This is the end of this entry. If you managed to read through till here, leave a tag with your views of drop me an e-mail at faust_viii_sf@hotmail.com

27th August, Friday

Whoopie ^_^ Weekends again! *dances a happy little jig* Bleagh, bloogin once evey two days again... now I can't rememebr if anything worth rememering happened yesterday... OH well onto today's post!

NEW NEWS! Mrs Chan WILL NOT be leaving our class as she said after the one week holidays but in fact she is just going to go off for the enxt two weeks to help mark the N-Level chinese scripts ^^ So while it is TRUE that a new teacher will be coming in after our one week September holidays, it is NOT TRUE that she is leaving us for good this year... im not sure about the next.

Im supre hyper mode today! Whoopie! First the weekends are here and it is only one week more to the holidays! Secondly, out of that one week one day will be taken up for teacher's day! Thirdly a small preview of our CA2 results ahve given me AT LEAST 2 A1s to fall on being english and PoA, the other two subjects I got A1 for is Chemistry and Social Studies however those are combined and Im not too confident about geography, im bery very confident about my physics (boring it may be). With practically 3 A1s under my belt what can go wrong?

Too many things, for one, My chinese is bound to fail this term!! boo hoo (blame me for not doing my holiday homework at the end of last year) and im not too confident about my Math amrks either... Sure I did well in all those class tests and things but something still bugs me, If the math marks were based purely on the class tests... I only did well in the last few, those earlier ones were quite disasterous ^_^

BAD BAD NEWS! We have a new Social Studies teacher! (Nooo! Mr Paul! Don't Leave Us!!) She is called Miss Joy and now we all know the reason why... SHE NEEDS HELL LOT OF IT! Another Indian (not racist) teacher is fine but her face is longer and blacker than a 1000 year cultivated papaya that is rotting. Looking stern and angry all the time no wonder she is called Joy, or the lack of it!

Im wondering what to do on teacher's day this year, cards are quite the waste of money. Even if it is only a dollar or two each, when it all adds up.. to quote Neo from The Matrix series... Woah... You get the picture. So im stuck, last year I too did not give out any teacher's day gifts of any kind because I was ummm.... Busy yea, LAst yearwas a very very busy year for me. But I want to thank the school for letting me have a second chance, after all Dragon competition is very fierce and I, being not quite the agressive and competitive guy will surely be left to eat thier dust. But this year, IM back and I will not fail again, HELL NO. Even Lee Lin is putting in much effort! I saw her buried in a physics 10 year's series just today during recess when ever she is not putting something in her mouth ^_^

Anyhoo, wondering what to do with the one week holidays? Fret not! The school will eat it all up for you ^_^ On wednesday I must go bac k all morning for Chinese Oral, On friday it will be English oral... on the topic of english Oral... IF not for me missing this last year I would be cramming for my Os now, but looking at my last year's performance even if I went up to sec 4 I would fail my Os FLAT so yeah. Im grateful for my second shot.

Im going to be dead in about 3 hours time. (Now is 4:30 pm) I was supposed to do worship TODAY and give the sings to Jean by Tuesday but I totally forgot to do so and I've just compiled it now... Oh boy they will slaughter me with the responsibility speech again... *grabs a bunch of ear plugs* Better get prepared first ^_^

Oh well thats all for this post, loggin off now! and not forgetting...

Quote of the day:
Ever felt like you were dreaming?
Just to find that You're awake?
And the magic that surrounds you,
Can lift you up and Guide your way...

25th August, Wednesday

Seems like it has become a habit to blog once every two days, a VERY grave mistake because I will forget whan I did the day before ^_^ That is very bad... Please all who visit please feedback on whatever you can feed-back on especially the layout, say I think my posts are VERY long compared to other people's posts Is it true? Please feedback ok? I thrive on communication.

First up, the surrent body count is rising as class 3E continues it's reign of terror. Today, our class managed to piss out form teacher / chinese teacher Miss Angel Chan off so badly she just went and tore up our class seating plan and duty roster O.O She said she was sick and tired of chasing after us and that we broke her heart. You see, normally during her lesson we are like angels.. ok mortals. But during other classes we are morelike the devil's reincarnation ^^, she didnt believe this so she came up for her lesson a few minutes earlier today and BOOM she sw it. The SHOCKING TRUTH, and from there everything went downhill... You get the picture

SUPER SAD NEWS! SHE DECLARED THAT AFTER THE ONE WEEK SEPTEMBER HOLIDAYS SHE WILL NO LONGER TEACH US ANYMORE, SHE HAS ALSO REQUESTED NOT TO FOLLOW UP OUR CLASS NEXT YEAR! For those who were still stoned in calss this morning, read it again here. So close toth e finals and you chased her away, where is your consceince? (spelling, cx, spelling) Even if you don't care about her leaving care about her leaving JUST BEFORE THE EXAMS!! What if you fail because the new teacher cant settle in time to complete the entire syllabus?

There I go again ranting and raving over what? School work.. I REALLY REALLY need to get a life.. ^_^ maybe its cos im always low on bux... seriously bux is everything to promoting image, you want to go out, you want fashionable clothes, you need the dough, the moolah... you get my point ^^

Im feeling crazy right now, but I cant tihnk of anything else to write (That is logical) Im just tired and sleepy cos it is what? 2 am now lolx... Oh well this is my shortest entry ever, hope you derived some pleasure reading it .. Cya!

If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

22nd August, Sunday

Actually this is supposed to be on Saturday 22/8 but it IS past midnight so it is officially sunday.. yeah. What a lame way to start... lame ol me, lame ol way. The weekend is darn boring, nothing happens, I hear no gossip, I find nothing to criticize, I have too much time on my hands.

I aspire to be like Cheryl... not in all ways but in the way that she practically updates EVERYDAY! If not then maximum of one in two or three days. I wish I chould do that ^_^ Lets start out by wishing all my Ex-Class and Levelmates good luck on your O-Levels. This is an important time of your lives and I will not stand for it if I find anyone accompanying me next year. Our dragon batch seems to be brighter than our later batch, brighter as in more logical with more common sense, I don't know when it started but my mind has started becoming lessa ctive or something... I couldnt spell proportionate (I think it is wrong again -_-) when I wanted to and I was so stunned. What am I to do? I need to invigorate my mind... force myself to think, HARD. I'll find a way ^_^

I don't know, since when, My mind and body have been drifting apart. When something sad or hurtful happens my mind is like an independent body, watching, thinking, "that is not me". Is it a good thing or a bad thing? I don't know maybe it is good, being unable to be hurt anymore.. then again it may just be like a cracking den, holding the torrents back temporarily, giving me a false sense of security. When the dam breaks I will be washed away and finally left high and dry again, all by myself.

I've been trying to hide.. not very successfully but yes Ive been trying to hide that I live in a deep fantasy world. I dream too much, heck I'm dreaming all the time. EVerything from the teacher teaching to the walk home is blanketed in a deep sugary coating that will mask the bitter taste, come to think of it, what can i be hiding from? Without the coating there is no serious issues that I need to bury... there are but the amount is insignificant.

Ive been doing my current favouritehobby, skimming through other peopl's blogs and I foud that many of you people out there don't like bloggers eh? Tell you what, you try not spilling any feelings for what? Two weeks and tell me if you feel like a constipated pig, humans have feeling so they can express them, and blogs are just one of those ways, so blog-bashers, lay off. I think bashing bloggers is your way of letting out your feelings too eh? IT might not be a direct input but you still need to get rid of them, one way or the other.

Boo hoo, Singapore's Lee Jia Wei lost the Olympics semi-finals qualifiers. Our olympic medal dream is not yet over but we would only have a shot at bronze later today at 7pm. IF we clinch it it will be the first medal singapore has won in the olympics since what? 30 odd years ago, a silver by some weight-lifter guy. Poor Jia Wei, She had such an awesome lead, 3 matches to 1 after 4 rounds! nut the pressure must ahve gotten to her, imagine, the moment they heard that she had won yesterday morning and had a shot at joining the semi-finals the STTA (Singapore Table Tennis Association) Head Advisor (i think) and president flew over to Athens to catch the match. The scorw for the last round was 9 - 11 with us being 9 and losing. I did't know North Korea took part in the Olympics... ^_^ Well now I know cos they were the ones who beat us by that little BITTY BIT.

Enough ranting.. whats done cannot be undone, hope we can clinch that bronze medal, it will still be a world-wide achievement to be reconised. Poor Susilo, his olympic dream was borken and now the responsibility lay on his girlfriend's shoulders to get Singapore the glory. Who was that Thai guy anyway? Whatever, I don't care...

I think I've exhausted my topics of discussion today, oh year this is to give full reconition to Cheng Shan An from Sec 4E, 2 long years Man! You have finally been sacked!
I take my hat off to you!

Ending Quote:
You say I'm a dreamer,
We're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find
So perhaps I should leave here, go far far away
But you know that theres no where that I'd rather be than here with you today
