random shit

2006-09-28T06:38:00.000+08:00

Too lazy to write out everything, shall just do it in point form of the things happening recently...

- Went for my greatest shopping spree ever like 3 hrs from here. Factory outlet of all the good brands. Shopped for like 4 straight hours but didnt even cover half of it. crazy place. Levis jeans for 25 bucks. that says it all.
- Down with a flu
- Spread my flu to my roommates who are so pissed.. hahaha
- Realised my shorts stinks like hell after i sweat in it.
- Two prelims tmr, and just going to start studying. gg..
- Starcraft is owning my room and some other people.
- Thinking what to do for winter break. 5 freaking weaks with no place to stay.
- Still freezing my ass off
- Watching the trees turn autumn colour..(someday will take photo)
- Sworn off chips for the next week
- Amused with the 40 minute long voice recorded thing jf sent... but i didnt hear everything.

Dont think that made much sense. Maybe its the flu.
Have a nice day.

Food

2006-08-22T12:29:00.000+08:00

I shall dedicate the first part of this post to food. The food here, is sick. At least for now, when I am not tired of it yet. Standard daily meal, bread and fruit for breakfast, buffet for lunch and dinner. And they have international food, and its not that bad. Even the chinese food tastes good sometimes. Freeflow icecream, beef, pizza, rice, burger, noodles, drinks, cornflakes, eggs, sandwich, fruits, salads. everything! haha.
Eh orientation was pretty fun these few days. Did gorge sliding, most fun shit so far. Slide down a v v small waterfall. attend many events kup free stuff. Just gotta sort out my schedule before school starts. Hopefully i dont end up with 8am lessons

2006-08-18T10:56:00.000+08:00

i'm like semi-deaf now when i'm typing this. My hall's fire alarm just tripped, and its SUPER loud. So we all went out to the courtyard, hang around for awhile and then made our way back in. Well the international orientation has ended, tomorrow the rest will move in, guess life will properly start then. Today was pretty interesting though. We went to a park for lunch and a swim under the waterfall. the water was FREEZING cold. for once its warmer to be out of the water, wet, then be in the water. pretty nice to sit under the waterfall as well. Did my first laundry today. and it kinda sucks knowing that tmr breakfast i probably will have to apply kaya on the bread we just got.

fresh blood

2006-08-15T19:05:00.001+08:00

dont ask me why i have that title.
Just got to cornell, 2nd day here already, everyting is going on pretty nicely. The weather is excellent for now, almost near air con temperature, so hardly sweat at all :) The place is really quite nice, very spacious, so it has a very relaxed atmosphere. just went to jog twice around the lake, freaking chio place i think. a bit disappointed though, still sweat quite a bit. I thought come here means magical formula to stop sweating forever. Theres a waterfall there, and a lot of ducks. pity i didnt bring the camera, so didnt take anything. but i think i'll upload some pretty soon.
The place is kidna quiet now, cos only the international students are here. I hope it doesnt get too noisy when the rest arrive, but I think it will lah. Not too bad to see more ppl though. Breakfast soon, cya.

the past 2 months

2006-03-01T21:45:00.000+08:00

really not used to writing now, mental faculties have been off on a 3 month vacation (that includes the holidays). army is actually quite fun lar... full of hilarious moments.

1st thing - BCCT (basic close combat training) is where a whole bunch of ppl punch, kick and generally make a fool of themselves in the parade square. but i generally dun haf a problem making myself look like a retard. the problem lies in pasting a snarl on my face and acting aggressive. sigh.

2nd thing - Field Camp is just damn fun. all the camo and sweating makes ur helmet a really toxic object. after field camp, washing the interior of the helmet, the water will come out brown and green.
then we have to do various assault courses and once contacted by enemy u haf to prone down near a tree. budden in the jungle, we pee in the trees too. so there are trees designated as peeing spots by white tape. then i was contacted near a tree with white tape so i bobian, had to prone down at that tree. then i was sort of staying away from the base of the tree for obvious reasons, but then the commander keep kaopei me so i no choice gotta be garang. but luckily the base was dry... that means no1 peed there recently. lol.
then the last day of field camp is digging shellscrape time and where u haf to defend some demarcated area enclosed by the shellscrapes against enemies ( ur commanders) at night. that means NO sleep for us. but of course i dozed off and apparently i slept so soundly that my buddy kupped away my rifle w/o me knowing. anyway as expected the commanders slept the whole night so they dint make any surprise visit anyway... haha so slacking is the way to go as always.

i feel like dotaing now ... maaaybe i'll continue another time.

having a nutritionist (read: health freak) as a mom

2005-11-10T12:34:00.000+08:00

nope... my mom is not a nutritionist. but i watched this cooking show yesterday in a fit of boredom. but it wasnt a cooking show, cuz the stuff presented were inedible (definition of cooking is imho, creating edible food). k so for this family featured, their typical meal consists of porridge (with all kinds of different rice, so the product looks like green bean soup but i seriously doubt if the porridge tastes like dessert of any form), and boiled vegetables. ok maybe the vegetables werent boiled, but they certainly looked like they've been dregged out of the swamp to me (think swamp monsters in horror movies). oh they had meat too. it was steamed fish and was probly the only thing looking close to edible on the whole dinner table. but then the health freak mom disclosed that she bought the fish at a supermarket. even i noe tt fish intended to be steamed must be as fresh as possible, hence supermarket fishes definitely do not qualify. oh, n their family never went to macs or any fast food restaurants b4... the poor lil' kids dont noe wad they r missing... it was just one of those shows tt shock n awe. yep, so i cudnt turn away from the tv even if i wanted to (and also bcuz the other alternative was studying maths stats).

oh then when i told my parents that some1 in class was using chops to immortalize her name on every exam paper, they had contrasting expressions. my dad just broke out in a grin... stopped short of laughing out tho (i suppose when we turn into adults, we'll all forget how to laugh too... so laugh as much as u want now while u can... LOL). then my mom went "well tt's cuz she takes her exams seriously, unlike some1 *glares at me*". ok so now i noe how weird my mom can be. oh wait, actually i knew b4, juz tt this confirms it.

anyway it's GENERAL PAPER tmr, probly the hardest paper as far as many ppl (me included) are concerned. it's just so goddamn subjective, even when u r supposed to be objective. wad do i mean? ok... lemme explain. we are supposed to be very objective ppl, listing down both sides of the argument then rationally coming to your own conclusion, rite? but here's the irony, the markers arent gonna be as objective as you. so you'll haf to play along with em, and hopefully their thinking is similar to yours. otherwise... hahah, forget abt otherwise la. hehz, all this blogging is probly not gonna help me much in my gp anywayz, time to go read pro essays le.

5 days more only...

2005-11-02T22:29:00.000+08:00

so scared of gp leh. i'm so afraid i'll pick wrong question again. it's not like i try to act creative n pick the suicide questions. i can just picture it... after tt, mrs ang asks me which essay question i picked... then she goes ALAMAK.

nowadays so sian, wake up then hafta start mugging le. even worse, both my bros finish exams le. so everyday, they're either dota-ing or mapling. omgosh... *dies of envy*. y must a'levels start so late. start earlier then can end much earlier. think psle... everything over by early october. wah... tt wud be so shuang man. then my dad oso kup away the tv smart card. the one tt allows ur tv to surf the scv channels. dang... now i cant even watch cartoon network.

oh n my mom went on holiday a few days ago. haha, so w/o her my dad is like getting bullied by my younger bros all the time. maybe he'll be next to go mad. just a while ago ban us from all gaming, then now haf to put up with my bros playing dota in front of his face. song bo. i cant wait to stuff all the bans in his face after a'levels man.

yakkity yak

2005-10-27T15:06:00.000+08:00

went for bio remedial today, mainly in the hope of making my mornings more fruitful. an average morning wud be sth like: wake up at 8, have breakfast, maple for a while, read newspapers, n b4 u noe it it's time for lunch. this morning was more fruitful than most, but only slightly. and tt's only bcuz i only found out today tt a huge chunk of evo notes is out of syllabus! pretty much guessed much of bio notes is out of syllabus b4, especially when u consider evo is like 70pages or more while physics capacitance is a grand 4 or 5 pages. talk abt contrast huh?

anyway, later we had lunch at thai noodle house. there's this huge bunch of ny girls yakking away. from wad i remember, it was mainly this alpha female doing most of the talking. or maybe it seemed that way because she spoke both fast and loud. and "loud" doesnt mean testosterone-charged booming loud, in this case it meant ... urgh cant think of a word for it. oh well but it reminded me of my mom's voice when she got really mad (so u more or less get the idea). then their only topic was on their council elections. wow, wad a topic to get excited abt. b4 going on, a disclaimer 1st, i was NOT eavesdropping. the volume of their conversation juz simply BEGGED to be heard. so not my fault k? then they were going on and on with their analysis of each candidate. and from my impression, they seemed to haf got the lowdown on every candidate. they more or less know any wrong/mistake the candidate had committed in her past 10 years, and in short were very concerned abt the political climate in ny. a typical sentence in their conversation was littered with controversy, ironies, n other juicy bits. very entertaining.

return of the KING ^ ^

2005-10-19T13:15:00.000+08:00

henry returns from injury n nets twice. 'nuff said. sometimes it's scary contemplating life w/o this guy.

last day of school

2005-10-14T18:40:00.000+08:00

today was really chock full of activities. only girls get the nice presents on their bdaes, guys get nth, n i get the negative of everything (i.e. i lose things, like my sanity n my dignity). so then we had principal address which was a humdrum affair. then we had ct session which was anythg but humdrum. so it turned out i got D for bio, which was better than i expected. ya well then after the session *curtains close*. *curtains open* we had this ice cream cake treat for the gurls. actually, i shudnt claim any credit cuz i wasnt there... it was infact jman's n shouheng's idea.(omg... cudnt believe it either, haha, shouheng's the last person i'd expect to get sentimental over last day of sch). haha, then david was complaining after tt that he didnt get enuff to eat. haha, well if he ate his usual portion there'd be none left for me (or anyone else for tt matter). haha, bingfu missed out on this gala feast, and kel li was friggin' horny with jielin lor. quote "come jielin, i feed u ice-cream cake"... *shivers* but jiandao shud really learn from him la.

heheh. then *curtains close* again. n diyan was arnd giving his moral support la... luckily he didnt give physical support too. those jerks were supposed to gimme a 10 sec headstart lor, then they started the chase the moment i took off. no integrity! ur adrenaline really starts pumping when a pitbull starts charging at u. the look on david's face is really scary la... luckily he not very manueverable so i can outturn him (yup... i felt a lot like a rabbit on the run juz now, n with no burrow to return to). oh well, with 12 against 1 the game was always up when they've got a grip on u.

then with no break in between, went to look for mrs ang for consultation with some other ppl. yep... n the 1st thing she asked was why we were sweating buckets when we were supposed to b eating ice-cream cake. haha... like i said, mrs ang seems to noe juz wad's going on in the class these day. haha, n she calls me a suicide case in essay cuz i somehow (i oso dunno how) choose the hardest questions in the paper to do. for some reason, i thot those questions were quite do-able n straightforward leh. oh well *shrugs*, wait for next monday for her scathing verdict then.

oh n diyang is really friggin' hilarious. quote of the day (to david): "wah kuanpeng's body really can take punishment sia... great fortitude, plus 12 strength n 1 violin". LOL.... it's juz his special brand of humour la. okies... n some other random stuff now. i realized tt i m older than jman... by a whole month! n bosnia is older than j! n i was not even a zygote when boo was born (hmm... probly a spermatid then). ok enuff random stuff le, time to go mug a bit of stuff den probly maple later at night.

to feel as carefree as a primary sch kid again...

2005-10-10T21:36:00.000+08:00

prestige is the real currency in society. it is the stepping stone to fame n the precursor of wealth too. as i'm typing this, my 2nd bro is laffing away. he doesnt believe all this. he thinks mesos is the real currency in society. btw, mesos is the maple currency. i didnt want to believe all this either (probably cuz i dun think i'll get much prestige in my life anyway... so y not self-denial eh?). in primary sch, i was really confident of myself (in less flattering words, tt means cocky). i cud get away with studying the day b4 exams n not worry abt wad wud happen if i didnt do well. now i worry... just a bit too much. worries include even trivial stuff like: wad if i submit ucas late? wad if i dun manage to impress the oxford interviewer? primary sch concerns include the likes of: shud i tell my mom abt the lost library book? will the teacher scold me abt my blue elephant? groan... these concerns sound retarded but i'd rather haf these back. sleep at wadeva time i want. n FEEL SUPERIOR.

wad sparked this entry was the complications involved with sth as simple as ucas. i realized tt i'm not very sure of the path i wanna take (i just want it to be as fun as possible... ya typical alfred rite?). does aeronautical engineering sound fun? n all the talk abt psc scholarships being out of grasp, out of sight. it's tiring me out. i never once had to worry abt entry to a school like chinese high being out of sight before. i never had to aim for a scholarship before, n i had no trouble in envisaging myself in hcjc or chinese high. this sux.

peeved

2005-10-04T18:38:00.000+08:00

Life is so friggin' unfair. Get back Chemistry, parents will ask wad jman's score is. Get back physics, same thing. Get back maths, i tell em "HEY, I GOT A FOR MATHS LEH!!!!" they say "ya, so? every1 gets A." ok ...then get back GP, they ask for J's score. i tell em B4, then they ask for qinghui's score. then they ask (actually more like shout) "Why cant u friggin' match her? YOU r from GEP, supposed to be intelligent, how come cannot even get decent mark for gp? U NOE GEP IS TOP 1% of SINGAPORE???? SO tt means tt THX TO OUR GENES, U MUST GET A SCHOLARSHIP. U DUN GET A SCHOLARSHIP, THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE LAUGHING AT YOU."

WHOLE WORLD LAUGH AT ME. LAUGH LA... LIKE I CARE LIDDAT. LIKE HOW MANY PPL DUN HAF SCHOLARSHIP? DOES INTELLIGENCE COUNT FOR SHIT IN A SUBJECT LIKE BIO?

oh n a little bit more abt my parents...
1) They totally LOVE Qinghui.
2) They like Jman a lot too, n wud haf liked him more if he doesnt play dota
3) They totally hate kel ng, joonming, boo n gang who get me to play dota
4) They are quite ok with david too cuz his grades are not bad n he DOESNT play dota
5) They generally dun give a damn abt any classmate/fren tt cant even match my lousy grades. like dun wanna hear abt em. dun say anything. juz buzz off. doesnt matter if u r a nice guy. juz dun mention em at all.

thick-skinned

2005-10-01T20:10:00.000+08:00

i realized tt i'm quite insensitive, not observant enuff abt many things happening arnd me (especially concerning feelings). many examples of my insensitivity. like how i'm one of the last in class to noe abt the jman-bosnia romance. like how i actually thought boo was quite cheerful when i talked to him yesterday. like how david said sth abt some new romance in class n i was totally "huh? really?" abt it. like how i didnt suspect at all tt mh liked jman (tho i was sensitive enuff to noe tt jman didnt really fancy mh). yea... n the list goes on. oh n like how i only blog abt soccer n dota n nothing else sensitive or thoughtful at all. so boring rite.

ya... n while jman was enriching himself with tt book, i was my usual self (away at junny's hse playing xmen legends 2 on the ps2). i'm such a thick-skinned slacker. played nightcrawler cuz i like humji heroes. then i teleported into the endless abyss twice. the effect was quite cute tho... all u see is the trailing nightcrawler tail n a KO floating above it. lol... really cracked us up. was oso quite hilarious watching josh dispatching each xmen trivia question with ease.

was my usual slacky self again today... woke up real late then went for lunch n the rsaf seminar. i wanna be a pilot! soso cool, n i juz fulfill the minimum requirements of myopia less than 500 in each eye. n i passed the computerised pilot test le, so that's 1 less hurdle to potentially trip me up. there was this uber enthu parent who kept asking questions (selfish questions somemore, cud tell he didnt give a damn abt the noble cause abt defending our sacred homeland). so sian diao, but then oso got hilarious moments too. like this question...
Q: Is it possible to be a pilot if i am colour-blind?
A: NO... simply because the sky is blue, the ground is green. if u cant tell the difference btw the 2, u r in awfully big trouble as a pilot.
LOL.... farny rite?

2005-09-30T17:58:00.000+08:00

Two nice quotes from a book "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel which i'm reading halfway... just sharing it for fun:

"that Hindus, in their capacity for love, are indeed hairless Christians, just as Muslims, in the way they see God in everything, are bearded Hindus, and Christians, in their devotion to God, are hat-wearing Muslims."- I never really believed in any religion... nevertheless I liked this a lot...haha.. sounds good to quote for gp also..

- Wanted to quote just one paragraph...but read the whole thing and thought it was good.. especially the last part...
"I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unerring ease. It begins in your mind, always. One moment you are feeling calm, self-possessed, happy. Then fear, disguised in the garb of mild-mannered doubt, slips into your mind like a spy. Doubt meets disbelief and disbelief tries to push it out. But disbelief is a poorly armed foot soldier. Doubt does away with it with little trouble. You become anious. Reason comes to do battle for you. You are reassured. Reason is fully equipped with the latest weapons technology. But, to your amazement, despite superior tactics and a number of undeniable victories, reason is laid low. You feel yourself weakening, wavering. Your anxiety becomes dread.

Fear next turns fully to your body, which is already aware that something terribly wrong is going on. Already your lungs have flown away like a bird and your guts have slithered away like a snake. Now your tongue drops dead like an opossum (whatever that is), while your jaw begins to gallop on the spot. Your ears go deaf. Your muscles begin to shiver as if they had malaria and your knees to shake as thouhg they were dancing. Your heart strains too hard, while your sphincter relaxes too much. And so with the rest of your body. Every part of you, in the manner most suited to it, falls appart. Only your eyes work well. They always pay proper attention to fear.

Quickly you make rash decisions. You dismiss your last allies: hope and trust. There, you've defeated yourself. Fear, which is but an impression, has triumphed over you.

The matter is difficult to put into words. For fear, real fear, such as shakes you to your foundation, such as you feel when you are brought face to face with your mortal end, nestles in your memory like a gangrene: it seeks to rot everything, even the words with which to speak of it. So you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don't, if your fear becomes a wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you."

crash n burn

2005-09-28T16:25:00.000+08:00

turns out tt gp was even more screwed up than i thot it wud be. so technically i'm an optimist. wow... i was nvr more serious abt a gp essay (duh... it's the prelims after all), then ended up gettting even lower than my most cocked-up essay (the arsenal one). feeling very disappointed n down now... dun even haf dota or wadeva to cheer me up.

then when i got home n saw my dad, he immediately asked whether my exam results were released. wah... like can read my mind liddat. so i said no... cuz i noe exactly wad'll happen if i say yes... he'll flare his temper n make my rotten mood worse, then i'll fire back at him n generally make things a total mess at home. so better to say no... give me a few days to distance myself from this tragedy then tell him later when i feel better. tt way, wad'll happen is tt he'll flare his temper n i wont pay any attention at all. a way better scenario to handle in my opinion.

class ecp outing

2005-09-25T01:27:00.000+08:00

this time class outing very fun... long time havent exercise liao. to be truthful, i was qt sceptical one, cuz ecp like nthg to do but cycle (which i dun really like anyway). oso due to fact tt last time i cycled was in sec 4 so very noobish at it. then they still wanna ride wad double bike somemore man... hoseh. anyway, i traded it in for single bike then realised tt cycling is juz sth tt u dun forget how to do (unlike bio... nyeh). still rmb the time i learnt cycling was way back in pri sch. then my uncle was supposed to be supporting the bike while i cycled, then when i turned arnd he wasnt there. so it was juz as fast as tt, hmm... goes to show the power of confidence (not to show how gullible i am)

then cycled all the way to this beach to get dunked. shld haf seen it coming... i mean the beach was deserted, so sth liddat was bound to happen. so we juz played around in the water (sounds gay), n then cycled back. so bo liao -_-". budden we found this team to challenge soccer. we started panting like crazy within 10 mins, then david has gotta b man of the match for his spectacular diving saves. i actually scored... so unbelievable rite, but tt was after missing an open chance by acres with acres of space arnd me.

oh ya, guys planning to go swimming after maths s then dota at lol. probly the last class outing before A's le. then i still needa mug sat. tmr still need to study maths s. so sian diao.

unwanted knack

2005-09-21T14:10:00.000+08:00

i haf this disgusting habit of gettting caught in the news... n sometimes i think i really bring it upon myself. ya... so turns out tt the class has one worksheet short. then bcuz i pitied zhiyong, i let him haf the last one. hmm... chivalry? lol... anyway i soon regretted it. the rest u ppl shud noe. luckily, joshua found the last worksheet, otherwise i'll be sent packing off towards her office liao. *shivers*.

feel very off-form wrt dota. on a 5 match losing streak after playing 2 more matches today. the last win was after (actually, "during" wud be more appropriate... haha) the psc seminar. oh wells. i'll trade my dota form for a'level form anytime.

anyway, tmr is last day of prelims le! who cares abt maths s... haha, then today lixiang was hyper-ly asking the guys to go out tmr, then i think she didnt notice the side smirk the guys returned. i think the girls shud haf realized by now tt dota is a post-prelim ritual tt most guys haf to go thru. cant blame em for being a bit thick sometimes la, but maybe she noes but she's ignoring it. who in his right mind wud forgo dota for shopping?

wad happened to arsenal's glorious european nights?

2005-09-17T22:22:00.000+08:00

really demoralised after arsenal laboured to a 2-1 win over thun fc. really miss the unbeaten invincibles times. ya... so to motivate myself, i'll recount one of my old favourites. arsenal 5-1 intermilan at the san siro. tt was soon after o'lvls and after inter thrashed arsenal 3-0 at highbury to open their european season.

ok, to the match.
1st goal scored by thierry henry after a nice precise lay-off by the marauding ashley cole. coolly slotted into the bottom corner where the keeper juz cudnt reach. nice efficient finish.
then inter equalised thru vieri's fluke goal. he was gonna cross or sth, then the ball deflected off cygan's head n looped over lehmann, hit the bar n then the back of the net. o
h well... but it didnt matter cuz early in the 2nd half, henry sprinted into the box n squared nicely for ljungberg to flick past the keeper. 2-1.
then inter started applying loads of pressure, i was really scared too cuz 'calamity' cygan was on the pitch. then came one of the goals of the season. henry picked up the ball on the edge of his penalty area n sprinted the full length of the pitch with the whole intermilan team in tow. really a breathtaking sight. but then he suddenly stopped at the edge of inter's penalty area. allowed the defenders to get back into position n for pires to make a run into the box. then, he ignored all of em n sprinted off again to slot the ball home from an acute angle into the opposite bottom corner. every1 were stunned.
not over yet... then henry picked up the ball on the right flank then crossed it into the box. ljungberg (or pires) dummied, totally fooling the keeper n the defense, allowing edu to slot into an empty net.
then henry was subbed out, n aliadiere came in to shrug past an experienced inter defender to run onto a thruball. then he rolled the ball square for pires who didnt shoot immediately. teased the keeper a bit with a few flicks, then drilled in at the last moment. 5-1. the commentator was like "...*silence*... then ... wad's going on out there?"

after tt i cudnt stop grinning.

27 sept... another 3 weeks away

2005-09-05T22:06:00.000+08:00

these few days haf been really zzz. xcept for the "outing" on sat. ah well, scholarship talks are always good excuses for another dota/movie outing. seems like after prelims very shuang liddat... but actually i was juz thinking after tt still haf SAT, ucas stuff, n of cuz the dreaded a's. so it's not really happily ever after. cant tok abt anythg other than work, eeks i'm becoming a workaholic. really. i'm serious. no kidding. ok... a mad workaholic who toks to himself. wait a min... arent all workaholics mad anyway? shucks.

sometimes, i even think doing physics questions (those tt i noe how to do) is fun. weird. not as fun as dota or sleeping of cuz... but it beats stoning. ok some ppl dun think when they stone, so they haf this totally blank expression (like dear david). but i do... so i'll haf the misty look in my eyes, but actually this is worse cuz when i stone, my thoughts tend to drift towards the impending prelims. oh man, toking abt work again. argh, wad's happening to me.

okok, something else other than work. got 2 nice songs from click 5, n they're really nice cuz i'm playing em over n over again.

click 5- just the girl
She's cold and she's cruel but she knows what she's doing
She pushed me in the pool at our last school reunion
She laughs at my dreams but I dream about her laughter
Strange as it seems she's the one I'm after
Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more S
he's just the girl I'm looking for
She can't keep a secret for more than an hour
She runs on one hundred proof attitude power
And the more she ignores me, the more I adore her
What can I do - I'd do anything for her
Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for
And when she sees it me On her caller ID
She won't pick up the phone
She'd rather be alone B
ut I can't give up yet
Cause every word she's every said
Is still ringing in my head
Still ringing in my head
She's cold and she's cruel but she knows what she's doing
Knows just what to say so my whole day is ruined
Cause she's bittersweet She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else

explosive start to prelims

2005-09-02T19:30:00.000+08:00

shucks... this was the hardest gp test ever. wrote q8 for essay (the one on anxiety in modern life)... hoping less ppl attempted it so less competition mah. didnt manage to write enuff tho... only 2.5 pages n considering my huge handwriting, it probly makes up the min. word limit. plus the fact that there's only one example in the whole essay (which is a crappy one anyway) makes it all the more damning. arh heck... it's not like having loads of examples n stats will help. was reading one of my gp essays (for a bt or promos last yr). got like tons of stats n examples... the most ever, almost like not i write one... then only a pathetic 29. then another one, with like 2 or 3 examples got 34. anyway, i think i surpassed myself this time with only one example, zero statistics, n 2.5 pages of crap only. so tt means i haf neither quantity nor quality. heh... n almost every1 wrote longer than me, probly haf more info too. then i thot compre cudnt get any worse... but it did. even the summary was hard coming up with all the synonyms. plus i suddenly got a major headache. cudnt complete aq... then handwriting oso like shit liddat. sian diao... i think this time get c5 lucky liao la.

yesterday watched superstar final... i thot kelly sang better than weilian leh. budden after weilian won... his rendition of the final song was very moving. kelly's choice of hairstyle was quite suspect in my opinion. think she shud juz keep to her normal hair... looks much better tt way. really looking forward to end of prelims... argh, tok abt anxiety in modern life. more like sian-ness.

zhiyong's such a flirt!

2005-08-30T19:15:00.000+08:00

haiz... zhiyong damn flirt la. an actual convo today:
*looking at the ppl doing pw in library*
me: wah... really miss doing pw
zzy: yeah... miss the times spent with yuantying n grace...
one lixiang not enuff for him lehz, tsktsk.

oh ya, oso saw his bro today. 1st time seeing both of em together. really cant be more different. like one's tall n from canoeing... plays dota n soccer. chionged chem papers today, think i'll haf damn a lot of questions for teome tmr. tmr's teacher's day lunch is probably going to be his most lavish yet... the extra funds from chs really come in handy. the food's going to be from yan palace i think?

gp in 2 days! not much i can do abt it too... always stuck at b4/c5, very hard to improve la. if only we can write narratives... haha, like o'lvl english no need to study liddat. so shuang. i've grown smarter liao... not chionging bio. must 1st lay foundation for chem/physics, then cram bio memory later (less risk of crashing hard drive).

heh... after reading david's blog got inspiration again. all i rmb of my pri sch teachers is tt one was totally fascinated by my eyelashes. oh n i oso haf a mutated xtremely long white eyelash too. cut it off last time but it grew back... weird. guess tt's nature's way of making up for less leg hair. looool. oh n toking abt hair, zhiyong has elvis presley sideburns. tt's like after he shaved part of it off. O__O. amazing, he shud juz grow a beard as well then look totally retro, can score even more pts with the girls. =D.

mug club

2005-08-29T20:15:00.000+08:00

only went sch today bcos david forgot to return me my maths s book n had to finish up the assignment. went to sch at arnd 10am after waking at 8.30am. surprised to find like 1/2 the class alredi there, attendance is alredi higher than for many class outings la... anyway, productivity today was low as usual for me. damn... thru the weekend only revised n did summary for 6 or 7 chem topics. so sian tt i have to catch almost every darn programme on tv. like zhen qing n superstar. really bu shuang with the production crew of superstar lor... haf to include a segment for those eliminated early (like merorably the one who sang gu dan bei ban qiu). embarrassing for them n sian diao for us.

think i did too much gokgok today. must persevere tmr... dun go near fish tank. only managed to do maths s n 1 chem paper (tjc) today. must do at least 2 chem papers tmr. yeah... hardcore me. oh ya... too bad cannot go jurong library to study. otherwise tt wud be my 1st choice destination. got nice food just beside at jec, quick transport home, nice aircon, nice books in case u get bored, n had many happy times there b4 (yeah.. inclusive of the pw moments... looool).

monday = bad eyelid day

2005-08-22T15:41:00.000+08:00

monday mornings r always hard on the spirit... coz i need a really strong will to get up AND not fall back to bed when my mom leaves the room after waking me up. it's oso a bad eyelid day coz i'll haf the feeling of having triple or quadruple eyelids (double eyelids r supposed to enhance beauty for women... dunno abt men tho) then it'll be like a coiled spring, need F=kx to keep it there.
then when i reached sch, appears that lixiang has bad-hair day on mornings too (but she insists otherwise la...). didnt recognise her at 1st n then she gave me a real scare from behind. frankly, i think she looks better with her hair tied. after tt, david dragged me off for early flag raising bcos he cudnt stand some1. then at tchs, ppl seemed very interested in wad i did over the weekend, n oso to lengthen my post i'll juz list it down.
saturday:
woke up at arnd 9 or 10am. then went out to dota at ginza with my bros n his fren. cant resist going into details... in short, 2 quick ar games (1 balanar ownage game, then they quitted... sux... n 1 pugna average game, which they didnt quit). then went home, finished bio essay on human gnd. at night, did some gp compre then went to slp.
sunday:
woke up late at 11am. then chiong superstar female final (repeat) until 1. afternoon, did the rest of tt gp compre n den read some of my bro's storybook... n newspapers too (sunday times is really nice... not like the usual newspapers). then went on tv marathon. watched zhen qing then national day rally (chinese) while having cheesy lava pizza (it owns!). then watched rally english while lounging on the bed. at night did some random chem questions then went to bed.

ok, feeling quite sian now. oh ya... got back personal statement from ang. she was sorta satisfied with it. the only part she disagreed on was the arsenal part (apparently she still remembered my roguish essay on arsene wenger n even did some research on him herself... too bad she dint think much of him). it takes brilliant ppl (like me) to appreciate the brilliance of a man like arsene wenger la. too many ppl juz cant see the light, cant enlighten all of em at once. actually, i sorta expected her to rail at me a little since even kel ng (who is supposed to haf v low standards) said my essay was "childish"... grrr. i think he juz stopped short of "babyish".
kk, gotta mug now, still haf oxford form to rush out, n everything left to study.

busy bumblebee (bbb)

2005-08-18T19:55:00.000+08:00

it's work overload today. like haf the following :
1) bio structured
2) bio essayS (note plural)
3) gp essay (thankfully singular)
4) personal statement (more like an essay than a statement if u ask me)
5) bio lecture revision stuff (oh darn... stuff it!)

all to be done by tmr. how's tt? definitely a bloggable day. simply FANTASTIC.
note tt i lied to yang abt hafing done the bio stuff. budden it was arguably a white lie. if not, she might haf stomped out of the classroom even sooner, n we wudnt want tt, wud we?

my plan:
1) did alredi, finished in 10 mins (pro?)
2) do tmr during maths lecture (how convenient)
3) do tmr after sch... if i feel like it (or ang will niao me to death)
4) do now lah! ... after i finish this post, haf my supper, watch tv, etcetc...
5) yup... stuff it

poor lil' kid (only for dota players)

2005-08-13T11:01:00.000+08:00

found this posted by some1 else (i.e. not me)

Choosing lanes is a man's job, some kid didnt choose carefully and was probably left crying 5 minutes into the game. Once playing scourge, me and some guy went mid, pink got solo at top, brown to right and kid followed him.
Brown: Go away *pings mid lane*
kid: okay :)
The guy who was in mid with me: there's already 2 here you noobkid: :( *heads towards top* (by this time the game started and we were lvl 2 already)
pink: fuck off idiot
kid: where do i go then
pink: go fuck urself
brown: stupid noob
Wow. Hurt and confused, the kid goes to creep the neutrals in the top forest. 2 minutes later pink couldnt handle his precious lane 2v1, and dies.
Pink: OMFG YOU IDIOT Y DIDNT U HELP
Pink: (allchat) HES IN THE FOREST BLUE GO KILL THAT FAGGOT
Blue walks into the forest and kills the kid with one shot who was already red health from creeps. Pink and brown proceed to trash talk the kid, the kid's mom and the kid's grandmother for another 5 minutes before he finally decides he taken enough abuse and leaves.

yupyup... wad losers, i mean the rest of the team. hopefully, the kid's gonna become a pro then thrash the rest of em.

reverse crystal ball

2005-08-12T17:59:00.000+08:00

yup... reflecting abt the life back in chs with an old classmate is always sth worth blogging abt. frankly, i never realised chs was such a nice place till i left it. tt applies to the food, teachers, class... n especially the food. haha. even the principal seemed much better then. oh n toking abt principals, my dad is a hardcore fan of ang (wee hiong, not the other one). For example, he thinks our dear principal has great leadership n has fantastic oratorical skills (i assume he's toking abt mandarin speaking...).

nvm... back to the topic. sigh, i rmb the times when ms mok used to fail us consistently for just about every chem test (tok abt consistent results... haha) ... but then we went on to get a1s in o'lvls anyway. then there was mr tan who exemplifies the stereotypical physics teacher. once he enterred the classrm n greeted the class, he stayed glued to his seat for the rest of the lesson (yup, even when scolding us), used solely ppt to teach, n didnt touch the whiteboard thru out any of his lessons. oh n did i mention he used blue pens to mark our tests (incidentally written in blue too), n he has a great sense of humour (in the sarcastic sense... think bingfu) when he chooses to be funny (i.e. when we make him angry). ah well.... he's still a nice guy anyway n we went on to get a1s for physics too. leefy was always funny/lame (depends on his form) n his bio lessons were way different from how bio lessons r like here. too bad i didnt get an a1 for bio but it didnt matter much anyways. ok shall stop now... might continue with more if i'm in the mood.

5-day break

2005-08-05T16:53:00.000+08:00

yay... after suffering thru the nightmare of a week, there's a nice long vacation waiting. life is now not juz boring but oso stressful. Had my personal talk with teo during ct session, n since it's a personal talk i wont be toking abt it here. it was a boring one anyway... like how do u conduct an interesting talk with a teacher anyway. not tt it isnt possible, ang recently changed target, keep niao-ing me la... need kelng to deflect her attention. it's like passing the handphone around, purposely wait till the handphone reach me then she looked up n dwelled (at some length) on my obsession with handphones. dotz... it's my phone somemore lor. then there was this other unpleasant episode on my legs. groan... then shouheng beside me kept bugging on how his hairy legs r sexy n manly. *choke* fine, show off to ang then.

any conversation with bingfu always has the tendency to spin off into either of these 2 topics: a) food (choco fountains keep appearing in his dreams) or b) sex (u-noe-who keeps appearing in his nightmares). haha. but toking with him is always darn enjoyable. quoting his choir mate "i dunno how he makes such funny jokes while keeping his face totally straight thru-out", n i totally agree.

had bio test today... i think i did ok, hopefully it turns out ok too. need to start chionging for prelims... almost every1's ahead of me in tuts. i'm banned from writing abt certain stuff in this blog, so maybe jman wud like to elaborate on his own experiences, n make this blog more colourful?

7 swords, caesar's

2005-07-31T14:52:00.000+08:00

had a very fun time yesterday.... tho not at the scholarship seminar. 1st off... we did stay at the seminar till arnd 3pm. the uk presenter was quite funny, but i think the only content i can remember of his presentation was educationuk.org.sg. then the 7 of us left for a late lunch n then watched "7 swords". the show was filled with gore n violence. plus the swords were excessively noisy, like there was this 'dragon sword' tt wud be better named 'sokee sword'. otherwise, the show was pretty good. especially the many allusions to dota (e.g. magina's blade, raxing, backdooring, mom frenzy, etc).

the thing abt gp

2005-07-27T19:37:00.000+08:00

gp lessons r forever so hilarious... even during return of bt papers. just like gp tutors r always so obviously prejudiced ... n proud of it too. ang is extremely critical of s'pore (n 2nd thought, of her husband too), jman's polo teacher ic (i forget her name... tt's the only thing i forget abt her lessons) likewise reminds us incessantly of chs defects. grrr... n the thing is even tho i m both a s'porean n from chs, i dun feel insulted at all (ok, maybe a bit la) by their remarks! weird, n i think most other guys feel the same way too. must think of how they do it... insult the guy then make them laugh it off. try doing insults with some flair, or as the polo teacher says, with "class".

joonming has been absent from class for a long time le... (yeah, even for his or shouheng's standards). hope he gets well soon, lessons need some xtra spice. cant even visit him today cos his illness is supposedly "transmittable", and needs to be quarantined.

then on the bus home, been thinking abt the different kinds of frens i haf (in one of my more reflective moods). think can classify them into 3 broad categories.
1) make me laff - self-explanatory. e.g. bingfu (yeah... he's the master), jonathan, etc

2) same interests - in another way of saying, we run on the same wavelength. ok more precisely, like we dota/ play capteh/ foosball. e.g. jman, boo, shouheng, jm, the usual gang

3) juz feel at ease around them - frens tt i'll never be able to quarrel with. oso bcos there's nothing to quarrel abt. e.g. zhiyong, zechy

oh... n i realised both ang n today's gp teacher both haf the same habit of ending the awkward silence at the end of some sentences with "in tt sense/ way". e.g. "so dominance of english leads to many cultural sacrifices n the culture ends up diluted..." *silence* (like we dun really believe wad she says... or more probably, not listening to her in the 1st place) "in that sense" (like tt explains everythg).

2005-07-23T23:35:00.000+08:00

went for moe scholarship talk today... n found out tt david (teng) is my mom's colleague's nephew. wow... singapore is such a small place. all tt based on my mom's impression tt his dad looked like her colleague, tok abt women's instincts. my parents are so paranoid abt being late lor... must take this kind of thing so seriously one meh. then when our parents started talking, like long-lost frens or sth... got tons of things to say, literally toking abt everythg under the sun la. even after me and david ran out of things to say, they were still rumbling on and on.

abt the controversy in our seniors' blog, i think every class will have their own problems one. and it's not like our class no problem liddat... really nothing much, just tt many blogs are superficial facades, like just want to preserve the outlook (which might be fake) of class unity. tt entry was special in the sense tt it was a true reflection of the inner workings of the class. urgh... not being very clear, but in our own class blog much of our controversy isnt aired freely either.

bt

2005-07-20T20:12:00.000+08:00

got back most of the block test papers alredi... BBDE and on course for a C5 in gp. sux =(. especially bio, can never get the hang of the subject but at least i (barely) fulfilled my promise of passing this time. then for gp... really nothing to say cos i didnt study (but then again neither did most ppl). i think i bottomed the class in bio. argh... everytime think of bio will haf depressing thoughts. like my history of flunking tt subject, n of how even tho i didnt do very well in the subject in sec sch, at least i enjoyed it then.

long time no post le...

2005-07-17T22:04:00.000+08:00

i was refering to jman. anyway, it's T.T Durai. haha, even his initials make up a smiley. Sigh... i think he's been bashed enuff by many ppl liao, so i'll cut him some slack. Or rather i'd rather not talk abt him at all in this post.

just watched this adidas ad flick at soccernet.com. go watch it! it's damn funny (like all the other adidas ads), got beckham n raul n others (but henry is conspiciously missing). anyway, it shows this adidas select team against some other anonymous team (but looking at the kit, i say they're mocking liverpool). then the pitch is not a real pitch at all... with the only solid ground being the lines (u noe the big centre circle, the line in the centre, the penalty box lines, n the lines around the perimeter of the pitch) haha... then there were all kinds of ways (many of em cheeky n hilarious) to get past the defender. Things like dropping the ball under the pitch, hanging down in pull-up position then dragging it up behind the defender... still got one where the defender tripped then the adidas dude used him as a stepping stone (ouch) to the next plank.

harry potter was released yesterday!! n i even saw it at popular... but my parents refused to buy ... n to even rub it in, bought this friggin' MR MIDNIGHT book for my bro instead. how retarded. i'm the only one in the family who reads harry potter, so every1 else was laffing away. Still got a very funny quote from my dad... "go borrow it from library la". HAHA... like if ppl cant even get it at the bookshops (the adult version), u expect to find it in the library ?!!!? then he said something even funnier... "try the school library then". ROFL... LMAO. sorry... got a bit carried away, but i'm sure u get the point.

2005-07-13T23:28:00.000+08:00

Just suddenly felt like commenting on some of the recent stuff going around on the news.... and besides, mrs. ang will be happy to know that i'm doing something to improve my gp...
Was reading the newspaper earlier, and was interested by the revelations of the way a certain charitable organisation works... Granted, I believe there is a chance that the newspaper portrayed things in a certain angle or perspective, that perhaps might have made Mr. Dinnai seem like a corrupted lord, because he was trying to sue the sph holdings anyway.. Furthermore, I thought Mr. Singh was rather "cunning" in a certain manner, to be able to direct the argument in a certain way and force Mr. Dinnai to make certain statements that put him in a negative light. No one will ever know, but Mr. Dinnai could actually be innocent, as he has said, and is totally for the interest of the people. However, I thought the manner in which the facts came out from the court, and the news would certainly make a large majority of the people doubt him.
It could really have been an innocent error when Mr. Dinnai "conveniently" forgot to correct the 2000 and 3000 figure. Afterall, if I was in his shoes.... I think I would be too lazy to do so. Furthermore the article wasn't even written by him or whatsoever.... and how many people would actually go on to consider the number of kidney patients before donating the money. Guess thats his responsibility... I thought the link between some other company and nkf was not that important also.... there was hardly a direct proof of Mr. Dinnai benefiting (neither was there any proof that he didn't)
What I felt was wrong was the lack of transparency in handling the accounts... especially regarding the reserves. the difference between 3 years and 30 years is significantly great..
What I felt strongly appalled at, was another person's comments, claiming that 600,000 is peanuts for a CEO of a multi-million dollar organisation. Lost for words at the comment. I mean thats like 50k a month.... and for a organisation supported by donations.... much more than peanuts.... (its like why bother talk about road tax of his mercs when you look at that figure)
But in retrospect, if people stop donating to that foundation, its not as if the majority of them would switch to the other centres that require funding. Most would just stop altogether. Its rather sad in some ways that I believe that the needy will stand more to gain if the donations continued. Afterall, its better that they get a portion of the donations, then get none of it. Correct me if I am wrong, but most wouldnt donate if the TV shows stop playing. Its just like the organ donation thing that mrs ang talked about. No one will be bothered to fill up the card to donate his organ, but none will do the opposite, and fill up a form to not donate his organs.

disaster zone

2005-07-11T20:45:00.000+08:00

ten things (n more to come) tt went wrong for me today...

1) spent the entire 40-min break doing the wrong question for maths 's'
2) didnt bring physics notes for lecture -- tt's another 80 mins wasted
3) realized just 2 mins ago tt the physics notes were lying all the time in my garbage bag (yup... the one i bring to sch every day, u noe.... the blue reebok one? so now u noe reebok sells garbage bags too)
4) did the wrong tutorial for chem yesterday... and only found out today
5) went on to do the correct chem tutorial during physics lecture budden teome went thru chem bt during his lesson instead .... (which i incidentally didnt do well in oso), so tt wud be number (6)
7) skipped maths tut to go register for sat in town n while jman managed to windwalk away i got caught for some reason. n she didnt even pronounce my name properly.
8) found out tt sat registration wont be open for another month so we decided not to camp arnd the building for one month to make our trip worthwhile.
9) i've got the whole bio tut waiting for me still....
10) n chem 's' too by the way... 6 whole questions

*groan*.... maybe i'll start doing bio tut then find out later tt i did it alredi in the holidays. but no.... this kinda fortune will NEVER happen to me.

6am...

2005-07-07T19:16:00.000+08:00

waking up at 6am is tough. especially after sleeping till 9/10 consecutively for close to a week b4hand. Even turning in early at 1030pm the night b4 didnt help much. A few papers returned today... including the much-anticipated gp essay on arsene wenger. oh well... at least she wasnt too venomous to me this time (as some ppl predicted), or maybe it's bcoz i'm used to it. My language marks were higher than my content marks... not bad... She wrote some stuff abt the essay being too personal (duh... it's Arsenal, bet she doesnt support any football team), and i forgot the rest. (it's good n easy to forget bad comments).

then on my way home on the bus, there was this old man chatting loudly with the bus driver like they were old pals or sth. Initially, i actually thot he was scolding the driver coz he was using this loud abusive tone like drunks use to talk to their wives. Then i caught 'cancer' and 'sars' in the man's hokkien-filled dialogue n realized tt this was probably juz some harmless guy being overpassionate abt the medical scene in s'pore. really weird la... then he went on to sth abt bus conductors being slackers. errrr.... n his dialogue was filled with flashbacks to his own past ... when things werent like that (like s'pore 30 years ago was an utopia -- tell that to ang then she'll haf an "old"-fashioned debate with him). sigh... maybe he shud take the next time machine back to the past along with mdm yeo.

class outing...

2005-07-04T19:57:00.000+08:00

Woke up at 8.30 am today in a hurry, n rushed out juz in time to catch my parents' car 10 mins later. Then realized tt the class outing was cancelled/postponed. (dotz. -_-) grrrrr. but at least not as bad as joonming. ok, shall narrate his ghastly morning on his behalf here. k, he reached mcritchie at around 9 am then stoned around but saw no1 (he wud haf seen me if i dint check my msg inbox in time... LOL). but coz he didnt bring his phone (come to think of it... maybe he was asking for it la...) he dint noe outing was cancelled. then he tried to find a phone but there were none. he went to some shop n bought a phonecard only to find a coin phone outside a moment later. (lapse into some furious arm movements from him n violent laughter from the rest... especially me, but i'll explain tt later).

back to the class outing... really nothing special. can be summed up in a few words - lunch, walk, stone, shop, bowling, dinner, chapteh n most imptly coin-flipping (note the conspicious absence of the major activity we like to call dota). oh n we met a couple of our snrs around too. Throughout the entire outing, i was laughing like mad. i guess jm's narration set the mood for me. then boo went mad 1/2 way thru the outing too n made my laffing fit worse. Conclusion: ppl who missed this outing didnt miss much la. BUT do attend the would-be outing to LOL/ mechmasters on wednesday after/b4 bio lect. heh.

the best class outing so far has to be the one where we went to watch spiderman 2 after block test last year. tt one was when the time was fully action-packed n the movie was good to top it off.

blur

2005-07-02T00:51:00.000+08:00

i ALWAYS forget my ezlink card when i go lanning. Maybe it's bcoz i use it too seldom, so wont notice it missing from my wallet until i really need it. Another example of blurry old me... woke up this morning n thot chem was in the morning, then only found out it was in the afternoon after i had changed n prepared everything. but at least it was for the better la... if i had stayed at home i might haf slept till 10 or sth.

block tests r OVER. haf a 4 1/2 day holiday to look forward to. n this is really holiday with no strings attached. this shud haf been a perfect time for class chalet, but not too disappointed there's none anyway.

war of the worlds wud haf been much better with a better ending. oops... duh, try rephrasing it - it wud haf given a greater sense of fulfillment if the ending wasnt as abrupt n as boring as a stupid voiceover. oh.. n shouheng reckons it wud be better too if the punkish son robbie died too, preferably sucked to death by the aliens of course. the rest of the show was quite captivating except tt it was very unrealistic. questions like :
1) how can the house be wiped out n the car in the garage (or probably in the open) remain intact?
2) how can the cameras work when all other electrical gadgets fail?
3) n wad kind of luck does tom cruise haf anyway?

focus...

2005-06-25T16:13:00.001+08:00

Now i'm left with 1 1/2 days to revise maths from scratch. It's a bad idea to revise a subject like bio in the 1st week, now i've totally forgotten not only the content but also the topics i revised. Quantum physics is hard to understand, i've lost my charged particles notes, chem revision is relatively uneventful n i'm thankful i still haf my maths notes around to do revision.

Strange tt i'm feeling guilt tt i've spent my holidays idling around (at least for the 1st 2 weeks) when tt's wad holidays r meant for in the first place. Looking forward to post-bt activities even b4 bt lor... sort of like looking forward to the end of school b4 the start of it.

LOL

2005-06-12T21:17:00.000+08:00

wah seh... watched some chinese entertainment show juz now. friggin' funny. the point of the show was to make fun of some celebrity, sorta like punk'd tt kind. so anyway, this guy was having his hair massaged by a girl, reasonably pretty la. well... this girl is part of the gang of cos so she asked him to relax, close his eyes enjoy the massage blah blah. then when he closed his eyes, this demon took over from her. at first i thot it was a guy cross-dressing as a girl lah, budden my mom said it IS a girl. yikes! tt's a major nightmare man. anyway, the guy MUST haf instantly felt the difference. not just the touch but the aura too i think. then when he opened his eyes, his eyes juz zipped open ALL the way n there was this very palpable expression of shock on his face (there was a mirror). tt was when i started my laughing fit liao. then the girl/demon intro-ed herself as xian-nu (heavenly girl). then the guy juz dumbly nodded, still in the state of shock. i dun blame him tho.... i was laffing much harder by then n cudnt sit straight.

the trick didnt end there, she proceeded to scratch her armpits then continue with the shampoo. the guy caught her in the act n started hollering his head off at her. BUT she did it again. now the guy was positively mad, n scared too (if i was in his position). this was when i started rolling around on the bed, n i cudnt even FEEL my tummy anymore from the laughter. cool show... sth to look forward to during weekends.

oh n to keep in with the title, try visit this site. hilarious spoof of star wars.

rainy days

my holidays r so filled with routine tt even a rainy day classifies as something special. so here's a post to commemorate today's rainy morning. i dunno why, but a rainy day always feels like a better day than a boring sunny one. the air for one smells better, like it's cleaner and more refreshing. rain means a cooler day, so it feels better too. then the landscape looks different (ok so u cant see the landscape but doesnt matter), so it looks better too. listening to the rain is always better than ur parents nagging so it sounds better. as for taste, er... ok tt's the only exception but i dun do too much eating anyway so it doesnt really count.

when it's rainy, u get to turn up the fan (n aircon too if u feel like it), open the windows, then pretend it's winter. juz duck under the blankets, n u're in for a very fulfilling sleep. (yep... even more satisfying than the naps during ang's lessons). throw in some ice-cream for breakfast (haha... tt's wad i did) to up the oomph factor. too bad the rain subsided by midmorning otherwise i cud haf gone back to bed after breakfast. sigh.

white sand

2005-06-05T15:21:00.000+08:00

had my cip camp over the last 2 days. juz these 2 days worth of cip DOUBLED my total tally, yep... so now at least my cip record looks decent. anyway, it wasnt the slack camp it was supposed to be n we haf the kids to thank for tt. They r soo hyperactive lor, bouncing all around the place. even playing games like whacko and dog n bone oso can complain abt cheating. siao, where got so pia one. then they actually wanted me to shout at em cos they cudnt hear me. tt was actually cos they were making so much noise in the 1st place. well, i refused to give in like a well-trained dog so i ignored em when they started complaining. worked quite well actually cos it saved me from sore throat. i was actually hoping they wud get sore throat from all their complaining but they didnt =(. then this guy got so excited over dog n bone tt he grabbed the bone (a rolled up newspaper) n started whacking me with it. ok la... so it didnt actually hurt but it was sooo weird. how the hell do u get excited over a game like dog n bone anyway? shud try intro him to dota or sth, maybe he'll start slobbering all over the keyboard then.

then this other grp got so bored with thinking abt cheers tt they started spraying insect repellant on each other. n it's really a hassle trying to mix the guys n girls. they were like almost scared of each other. to make a guy do sth, u juz had to say "u dun do it then u r like them (followed by some vigorous thumb-jerking at the brownies)". oh well, but at least we had the teachers to help us manage the kids la. i really cant handle kids lor. to get their attention, u haf to actually act pissed even tho u arent. but i act like i'm not pissed even when i am. i think their only motivation is FEAR... and water bombs. haha.

ice skating

2005-06-03T19:40:00.000+08:00

yay... ice skated for the 1st time in my life today. had only 1 fall today la... not too bad la. n that fall was a sideways fall so i managed to land on my thigh so it didnt really hurt. i think we skated for a whole 4 hrs, really tiring but fun tho =D. yep... then there was this little girl (mixed blood, i think?) tt sokee found so cute she juz kept staring at her all day. then when sokee tried to say hi to her, she haughtily flicked her chubby face the other way. awww.... tt's soooo cute. hahaa, i think tt was when sokee changed her opinion of lil' ice-skating gals.

too bad so little ppl came today. cud haf been even more fun with more ppl. oh well, then again i dint go for the west coast outing so i guess i'm in no position to criticise. after ice-skating, juz felt very tired around the ankles, weird feeling cos i usually feel tired everywhere else but not there after exercise.

and i still havent registered for sat yet. dun even noe whether i shud. realized tt i haf this tendency to juz follow other ppl. argh... so ma fan one. still got cip camp tmr... but at least it'll be slack (cos it's organised by joonming... LOL)

mugging materials...

2005-05-31T21:25:00.000+08:00

i realised studying at home is really not feasible.
attention starts wandering after 5mins.
bum leaves the seat after 15mins.
returns after 1 hr.
so 1/4 or less of the time is spent studying. sigh. in fact, i start wishing for a distraction so i can just slack off.

worst of all... there's no1 to talk to! so sian... msn ppl always offline one. only come online at night when i go zzz.

maybe next time i'll go jurong library or even chs library to study. (cos they haf fiction/comics to pass the time/bring back sanity). the hc library has got to be the most boring library in the galaxy lor. plus it's so out-of-the-way somemore. my mp3 player is my best fren now. songs in favour now: yellowcard's rough draft, tong hua n ryan carbera's shes.

how nice if i cud study at the swimming pool. provided notes dun get wet of cos n provided ppl dun give u weird looks =p. when feeling sleepy juz dunk head underwater. when feeling bored, juz swim a little. when feeling tired, juz slack n enjoy the water massage.

liverpool ?!!?

2005-05-28T19:55:00.000+08:00

a seriously delayed post on liverpool v milan. it's great tt liverpool won instead of milan. milan dint even deserve to be in the final anyway (arsenal did!!!). really amazing how liverpool came back in the 2nd half (or rather 6 mins of the 2nd half). they said gerrard dominated the game in 3 different positions : AM CM and RB. RB!!!??! apparently benitez felt their right-back (dunno who) was too incompetent n had to have the capt fill in at his position to crush the marauding serginho. nvm... it worked anyway.

then the pics posted in the newspapers were like purposely poking fun at milan. there was this pic of shevchenko pulling the trigger from 2 yards right at the keeper when the whole goal was gaping open. think tt wud really hurt for dudek tho... from tt angle it looked like he saved it with his NOSE. ouch. there was this one of gerrard kissing the trophy with the reflection of the team in the trophy too. really well-taken pic. still got 1 of cisse dancing in his underwear, no riise tho... heh. actually, i wudnt mind if arsenal switched places with liverpool. turned out tt liverpool actually had a more successful season than arsenal after all.

went for haircut today. realized tt barbers haf either a) no hair or b) ridiculously long curly hair (refer ronaldinho).

2005-05-24T19:31:00.000+08:00

it's amazing how fast i can finish a gp essay when writing abt arsenal. juz hope she wont chuck it back at me n tell me she doesnt understand a scrap of tt crap. actually i think she might actually do tt. at least tt's one piece of work off my to-do list.

to-do list reads:
maths s - juz completed
chem s (3 qns)
chem tut (grp 7)
physics analogue - shhh... dun tell chiam
physics the next topic, charged particles izzit?
bio? dunno wad i haf to do for this subject anymore.

heh... today we had a rather heated discussion regarding ms yang. i cud almost SMELL the tension in the classroom lor. it was like a fight might actually start in the classroom man. ppl were getting pissed with one another... over ms yang! i dun understand her at all (yeah... even less than her lessons). she has all these funny mood swings and it becomes necessary to predict her weather. cud still rmb one practical... she came in then zhiyong predicted an eruption. BUT it didnt happen. she had this frown but then looked so cheerful again. then after tt... she juz blew up over sth (which i forgot, but shld be sth insignificant cos i forgot abt it mah). sigh... weird.

skywalking...

2005-05-19T23:18:00.000+08:00

went to watch episode 3 today. it totally ROX! especially the part where all the battling jedi knights are backstabbed. it's like suddenly they are facing fire from BOTH sides or juz get bumped off like fleas from the back.... like *push* and u r off the cliff. tt was really exciting man. hah... and all tt talk abt balancing the force was actually true after all, according to joshua's analysis. left only with sith sidious and vader against obiwan and yoda (my little green fren).

oh n there was oso much speculation as to wad vital organ was left in the core of general grevious (aka gg). it cud be a brain juz tt it didnt haf many grooves. it cud oso haf been a bladder or a kidney. after all, excretory systems r very impt for survival, rite? n he was such a noob la, still dare boast trained by dooku somemore. lost with 4 light sabres against 1.

n as to how the light side of the force is made to look good... after all, the 2 different sides juz haf vaguely different mindsets, and different idealogies only wad. nothing much rite? juz tt those who turn to the dark side are made to look hideous, to make em seem evil. anakin in particular, from a cute little chubby boy in episode 1 to a shuai dude in 2 to the mysterious man with flashing eyes and a messy fringe in 3 and finally to sth like our dear gg. oh well... at least he still had his other vital organs with him. back to the pt abt messy-looking sith lords. palpatine's face looks like it started melting into pulp and anakin's final face IS melted pulp. urgh... so much for eye candy among the sith. then obiwan has tt trendy beard while yoda even with all his green skin and wrinkles manage to look cute and harmless.

star wars feste

2005-05-14T14:38:00.000+08:00

this week is officially star wars week. watched episode 2, started playing star wars kotor 2 yesterday, and gonna watch episode 3 next week (hopefully). juz a pity kotor 2 doesnt have multiplayer. then it'll be sth like dota rpg? haha. tt's gonna be some major addiction. another pity tt u dun start with a lightsabre in kotor 2. wad is a jedi w/o his signature weapon? to add insult to injury, u start with this funny electric baton somemore. makes u look more like a security guard (ahem ahem).

haf been chionging loadsa food these 2 days. yesterday went to haf pineapple rice for lunch then was supposed to come back for the scholarship talk. but as usual, was seduced by other things e.g. body language. i mean... given a choice, anyone wud pick body language lor. think at 4.30pm yesterday, almost every1 in sch wud either be at audi (for body language) or hall (for cs). body language was quite interesting... but had the feeling it was too short. oh well.

then had guitar dinner at PS swensons. had a set meal then a giant earthquake. yup... i luv my high metabolism rate. then we made this devilish concoction of black pepper, tomata/chilli/tartar sauce, some water of unknown origin, n some others which i forgot. the smell itself was already damn overpowering la. it was like the "drink" was forming an ethereal hand tt reached into ur stomach trying to turn it inside-out. yucks. then they kept cracking jokes tt ended with some1 flying out the window. haaha.. erps. and debating on whether the window glass or the skull will break 1st. then after tt went home, n played my usual friday nite dota match. got owned, then suddenly had this urge to play kotor2. for very obvious reasons. think i played until 1pm plus.

then today, woke up at 10am and went for buffet. ate loadsa raw salmon. but i rmb it best for the desserts. had 2 mango puddings, a few peanut-coated tang yuan, 1 gui ling gao (tt translates to herbal jelly with honey... oops change tt to LOTS of honey), n some other cakes. burp.

scintillate-d

2005-05-08T20:27:00.000+08:00

musical soiree ended alredi... we all thot we were mediocre for greensleeves. but the rest was ok i think. the concert theme was scintillate (literally), it was so damn bright especially in the front row. cud hardly make out the score lor. but then we were supposed to haf memorised the score liao. oh well. then the curtain had to screw up in the middle of the concert. sigh. but all the same... thanx to every1 who turned up for the concert.

oh and b4 tt there was sports day. it was every bit as boring as i rmb it to be. dun think i watched a single event. juz walking around toking with frens then went off for a dota match and lunch b4 returning for guitar.

anfield roars, mourinho whimpers (i think)

2005-05-04T21:08:00.000+08:00

chelsea is dumped/thrown/kicked/ousted/shoved/booted out of the champions lge at last. wipe tt dumb grin off the Special One's face. hmph... during ct session, saw a bunch of girls in front of us poring over the new paper sports section. at 1st thot they might be soccer fans, but then later when shouheng went to buy his own copy, we realised they were juz there for Riise's eye-candy. cheh.... haha. then shouheng spent a long time dwelling on tt page too. -__-

then i got dumped in the front row for guitar concert. then all the pros take the backseat... like huh? it's gonna be so damn embarrassing lor (not to mention agonisingly bright). i think if i dun look at the audience everything will be fine... rite? and i still have 3 tics left. shit.

syf again... haha

2005-04-28T21:16:00.000+08:00

erp... realized tt the title is repeated. but today was a very eventful day. when i brought tt "branded bag" to school, it's like i get weird looks from every1. responses can be categorized into 2 types: 1) (guys) wah lao, ur taste sux, juz like ur green shirt ... quoted from a certain funny bunny who likes ramly =). 2) (girls) *high pitched shriek* this bag costs like several thousand!!! how in the world did u get it?!!

then had practice for syf. tt was the most UNeventful part of the day. soooo boring. and still gotta eat in sch somemore, goes against my principles. then on the bus there, played bridge n talked cock. so i conveniently forgot to wear my tie (heheh... tt's so me, according to josh) then had to scramble to get it tied at SCH (acronyms are so confusing). ok then skip to after the performance, cos i juz hate to concentrate on the parts tt really matter. it's my blog after all...

k, shall tok abt the other performing grps. we missed out on all the grps b4 the interval. but we caught rj. so darn funny... the conductor was gyrating his bum to their second song and looked like he was on drugs or sth. and from our angle, it looked like he was pole-dancing... in a suit. LOL =P.
then later we had tjc. they played a chinese type of piece (u noe... the sort tt co normally plays), so it was quite different from the rest of the songs played (mostly european). then at the start they exaggerated their dynamics so much we cudnt hear a thing, then we were straining our ears to catch the notes when the mighty cymbal came in with a huge clang. ouch. tt really hurt man. ps even jumped off his seat. LOL. then we were all checking his pants for any signs of wetness. -grin-. yea... n that was the jc tt won the solitary gold w/ honours.
oh... n nj was pretty good too. the only jc with a student conductor. n she was pro! at least there was no pole dancing ... even tho we wudnt haf minded this time. =)

then when i got back home... my dad was going paranoid over the no. of lessons i skipped. -__- and lamenting on why syf cant be on a weekend. dotz.

finally, guitar soiree concert is next week. *gasp*. and i still haf 4 tics left. who wants?

syf

2005-04-27T20:46:00.000+08:00

syf's tmr. it's about playing the same 2 songs (our conductor calls them tunes... -__-) so many times that u dun wanna hear it ever again. yupz... tt happened last year after soiree too. and i suppose it's a must to play classical music (i'd call it old-fashioned tho) to please the geriatric judges... and oso cos i cant imagine mr she conducting any hip songs anyway. and when they say they "try" to release us as early as possible... they actually mean the opposite. getting so used flitting from LT to LT.

these few days haf been really tiring la. today was passed in a trance until ct period. the hilarious video woke me up... and teo in front of me too. gtg get my precious sleep liao... haha, yeah it's a bit early but so wad.

man u's toast

2005-04-21T21:43:00.000+08:00

man u is so inept. lose to everton, liverpool's gonna hate them for it. anyway... arsenal drew 0-0 with chelsea at the bridge. haha... n tt's without thierry henry. senderos rox... n ashley cole can go for 25 million pounds. i dun mind =).

surprisingly, i'm coping with my dota cold-turkey pretty well. manage to complete my tutorials ahead of time somemore. anyway, the new fad is table-soccer. my defense sux... always misjudge the ball one, especially if it's a longshot. student's lounge is getting to be a much better place after they installed aircon... and the soccer table. gd place for sleeping too i think, but havent tried it out yet. i'd need some teacher's voice droning in my ear (preferably ang or angel... heheh).

guitar syf is in a week's time!! ppl count down to syf... i count down to the end of it. lol. not tt i hate performing but i prefer the slacking tt comes after :p

boooooring weekends

2005-04-17T18:57:00.000+08:00

weekends suck! the only thing gd abt them is that i get to sleep till late in the morning. there's nth to do but tutorials. not a single interesting programme on tv. not a single nice book (tt i havent read) in the house. dun wanna dota anymore... cos it makes me wake up grumpy in the morning n waste so much time in the pre-game talk show. actually i cant, cos there's not a single game left in the com. xcept the solitaire sort which i dun play unless i'm already going insane. then cannot play soccer, cos *they* think it's a waste of time and might encourage me to become a footballer (which is of course not an ideal career for a singaporean). LOL. how hilarious. i dun even want to become a footballer anyway. nor a doctor for tt matter.

when i get a2 for pw, they say it's my fault. when some1 else gets a1, *they* say she noes how to fight for her rights... individualism is a blessing in singaporean society. then when my lil' bros dota, *they* say it's my fault for introducing dota to them. er... then can i blame my classmates : "all ur fault la, MAKE me dota, waste my youth, etcetc". everythg can blame on me la.

how to fail a subject u studied the most for

2005-04-16T20:13:00.000+08:00

so i fail the subject i studied hardest for... wad irony. juz like in sec sch, studied most for chinese and did the worst for that too. feeling so bitter now. wad to write in the bloody letter? i think they'll expect me to write sth like "oh i was too busy" or "wasnt paying attention in lectures, etc". if i write sth like "i haf no aptitude in the subject" or "my memory work sux", wad'll their rxn be? starting to regret taking bio after 1 1/2 years, haha... way too late. too bad then.

a day of tests

2005-04-14T20:51:00.000+08:00

today was a darn busy day. got napfa in the morning, did better than i thot i would for the 5 items then flopped spectacularly at 2.4. then again, it might haf been the weather cos it was a damn hot day. nvr imagined i wud improve 20cm at SBJ in a week! hmmm... maybe they swapped the mats, recalibrated them or sth. oso, shuttle run seemed way easier than b4 (sec sch). then sit-up and sit-n-reach are the slack items la (got "sit" in it means slack liao) oh well... but at least got silver for napfa. tt's gd enuff... then i went to bathe after napfa. damn shuang, makes u feel rejuvenated, fresh, on-form, etcetc. muz make it a habit to bathe after pe everytime. oh and since napfa is over... hope it's time to go back to t-tennis. wahaha, it feels so good to see their stunned expression as the ball zips past them. doesnt matter whether it hits the table 1st or not... juz whack.

then bio spa was held at the usual stifling lab. then my side bench seat had no fan lor... sweating like crazy. haha... but we were all prepared for the bio spa (in more ways than one... -grin-). so it was fine. oh, and juz managed to scrap a B4 for gp. i'm always stuck at the b4 for gp lor... it's like b4 (-wink-) the test can predict the grade liao. this weekend will be damn busy (with homework, NOT dota this time). actually, guitar too la. and every exco in the musical grps seem so uptight abt syf... like dun get gold with honours, how? -grin- it's times like this i'm glad i'm not in any exco. doubt they'll want me anyway. lol.

napfa

2005-04-13T19:56:00.000+08:00

oh no... napfa is tmr and i'm still short of sbj passmark by 10cm! dunno why the 2.2m is so elusive... they say it's technique but i tried all kinds of "technique" liao and still cannot improve leh. then the rest shud be ok la, comparatively of cos. juz gonna treat tmr as a sort of extra training la... shud be aiming for napfa gold by june (i hope). heheh, very thankful for my nov birthday... allows me so much more slack room.

and bio spa is tmr too... making for a very busy day ahead.

louts

2005-04-07T20:29:00.000+08:00

some ppl haf been really getting on my nerves lately... i try really hard not to flare my temper but i haf come really close to exploding recently. tt wont be a nice sight... like an exploding toilet bowl. then some ppl in dota oso think they r really like very pro... and even tho i know i'm noob they make it a point to try to insult me until like i haf no pride liddat. dunno wad's their prob. i mean... ok i talk abt dota a lot. but tt doesnt mean i'm trying to act pro or anythg la, then these ppl try all means to try to put me in my place.

ns medical checkup

2005-04-05T20:02:00.000+08:00

went for checkup today... everything went fine la. the med officers juz gave the usual tests and a few unusual ones (not abt to elaborate here tho... haha). got a B grade tho... tt's all bcos of my damn low bmi :( oh well. then the registration officer was apparently quite perturbed abt my psle and o'lvl score... haha, muz be a school dropout la. wait till he sees qinghui's (haha, not joking... she's mulan rmb?) or david's. then there was this station where u had to try out the uniform. then when i told the officer the cap was pretty tight... he flashed this knowing smile and said the prob will solve itself when i eventually shave my head. darn... dun wanna become a botak (no offense jman... =D) --> u can launch ur defense tho... by posting on this blog.

kaoz... then at the end still got like >1hr worth of iq tests. oh man! it was like sitting for the gep selection test all over again. all the farny patterns barraging u. oh and a sidetrack 1st... the coms there are damn pro... shud convert to lanshop, then they use them to run this kind of crap program. dunno how to allocate resources la. then they even had this specialised physics section... still got test bernoulli leh. i was like o____O, waddaheck! then still got memory test ,which i totally flunked... juz look at my bio grades... or chinese grades. both memory-dependent subjects. but there was this funny test where u juz had to follow the instructions, supposedly testing how well u can follow instructions. had a feeling tt test is the most relevant la... juz blindly follow orders in true singaporean-style :p

wanna stay up late

2005-04-04T21:05:00.000+08:00

it's the champions league q-finals liao... n arsenal's not in!!! *gasp* i wanna watch arsenal matches... havent watched in a very long time liao. n friggin' liverpool is in! omg... like how can?

numb

2005-04-01T20:25:00.000+08:00

failed chem bt... but somehow i dun feel much disappointment leh. dunno y also, maybe it's sort of a defence mechanism for the bio bt. haha. and i'm still gonna dota tonite (if nothing goes wrong).

i really hate sweating in the hc uniform. the sweat stays inside u, it's like the uniform's trying to force the sweat back down the sweat pore. urgh... disgusting. wonder how j-man puts up with it. then when u start sweating, u cant stop moving and ventilating urself. i rmb the 1st time i put on the uniform, i started sweating the moment i stepped out of the toilet. i think it's the same material as the rv uniform lor.

going for ns medical checkup next tuesday afternoon (get to miss bio and maths tut... haha). actually i wanted it to be in the morning, then i can skip the whole day, but then my dad was watching over me as i made the registration. darn... he never trusts me, i wonder y? then it was darn hilarious, we were wrestling over the mouse, he actually wanted me to have the checkup on a WEEKEND. siao. luckily, got loadsa other idiots who registered for the weekend slots, so only weekday slots open. haha, yay. dun think i'd haf won the wrestling match anyway. according to zechy, it's nothing much. no physical activity involved. cheh... then they ask me to go in pe attire. dotz.

oh and j-man, i've kinda noticed tt u havent been blogging in a long time. wanna blog?

post-bt syndrome

2005-03-30T20:02:00.000+08:00

black 'n' white

think i played too much on tuesday liao, came back to school feeling very lethargic. 3 matches of dota sure beats 3 hours of shopping (eeeks!) though, so i'm not regretting it. zhiyong said he bumped into the girls in the midst of their own frenzy... then left the rest of the sentence hanging. haha... he shud really haf come along to dota with us la, it was the "welcome noobs" day, think all the newcomers had above-average games la... except for poor leekai who kept running into me in the 2nd game. LOL.

quite enjoyed guitar today though... haha, mainly cos i was most doing anything other than practising guitar. swapping dota tips and funny experiences is a really good way of passing the time... it's like almost everywhere i go i see dota-fanatics. well, OF COURSE i did some guitar too... and realized that syf is only a month away and soiree 2 weeks after that. darn! blogged on the class blog for like the 1st time?, then no1 else bothered to continue blogging liao. nvm, shant bother abt the class blog from now on.

and finally, some more quality excerpts taken from idle conversation during guitar. did u know that...
1) morphling + vengeful spirit = confirm win (the jian way... no la, the OTHER jian way)
2) oblivion + slayer = insane damage
3) pudge + PA used correctly = insane damage too
yeah... shall leave it to u to figure out how and why.

bio sux

2005-03-26T11:55:00.000+08:00

studying bio is such a chore. for physics, u can summarise the notes to a few lines of equations. for chem, u can do the same to get a few flowcharts (actually, they do it for u). for bio, they give u huge chunks of paragraphs and tell u EVERYTHING is impt. yeah rite. for physics and chem, u lose hope in the middle of the test. for maths, u lose hope after the test when u find out ur careless mistakes. for bio, u lose hope in the midst of preparations. then jm tells me tt dna is tested too... DNA! groan. btw, that's the one topic that has 4 sets of notes (including manipulation) and number over 100 pages (i think). and the worst thing is, i forgot everything abt dna liao.

then i went to watch "huo xia qu" (the 9pm show) last nite... it's so hilarious (maybe it's supposed to be a show with a really serious message but haha... it's juz so funny, especially the way they try to infuse their agenda... not very subtly) i think i'm going to follow the rest of the series religiously. oh... and i finally got the tagboard up again last nite (with some very straightforward help from grace after her attempts at subtle aid failed spectacularly).

Ownage and pissed faces

2005-03-23T15:13:00.000+08:00

b4 the test, jackie was telling me tt he had told the chem dept to give him their "best shot". i was like -raise eyebrow-, then when i saw the bt questions, i went -jaw drops-. even the mcq was so hard la... not enuff time to finish even the mcq. then when paper 2 came it was an absolute shocker. looked at the 1st 2 questions of section c and then skipped both of em. Disbelieving, i went back to the cover page to check if only ONE question in section c needs to be answered. damn. after tt i was feeling quite pissed ESPECIALLY when sam lee came sauntering around to collect the papers. he had the most irritating grin on his face (grace, dun hit me) then was like asking every1 in his class how the paper was. Then, when every1 came around and we saw each other's pissed faces, all of us just broke out grinning. freaking hilarious!

think physics is gonna be another case of ownage and most likely bio will outdo this paper too. i juz cant imagine any of the full-time bio teachers with a kindly smile on their face. ugh. well, at least...... there's dota tmr .

mugged

2005-03-17T22:04:00.000+08:00

i feel mugged when i mug. i've got this sore throat that has been hanging around for a week liao. organic chem is so reliant on memory work... cant stand it, almost like bei-ing the chinese ciyu and chengyu all over again. then physics is so slack tt i find it hard to believe. it's really so hard to concentrate on studying when u have
1) a sore throat
2) younger bros in full swing of holiday mood

argh... dun think i can sleep tonite liao. stupid ch5 chose to broadcast juve vs real madrid rather than the all impt match at highbury. soccernet is splashed with arsenal's orbituaries even BEFORE the match has started. thierry henry has vowed to lead arsenal by example (hopefully) into the q-finals. cygan is out (which is a blessing). 18 yr-old senderos will play (dunno how tt will turn out... but his performance will probably decide the match). makaay is out!!! ballack is back though... hmm, they say ballack isnt the player he used to be but i haf my doubts. he's still a pretty dangerous AM (attacking midfielder, not anti-mage hor), think vieira (boo, not u la... sit down!) shld be able to neutralise him though. then it's kahn vs lehmann part 2. haf a nasty feeling tt the most likely cause of arsenal's downfall (if tt even happens...) would be that lemon.

time to talk abt less stressful matters (comparatively)... ssef today was really boring, like even more boring than guitar without all the chatting and slacking. took 4 hrs for the 1st judge to arrive at our booth (if u can call tt flimsy wreck a booth). then i was sleeping alredi, and he juz roughly shook me awake... then for the rest of the presentation he was trying to niao me all the way. e.g. like what will happen to you without boo? then he oso had this nasty grin on his face every time i made a mistake, tt guy really gave me the creeps man. the other 2 judges were much better. 2nd judge was especially nice. another day of slacking awaits tmr... cant concentrate on mugging too, sigh.

maybe an early goal from henry will do the trick? finally... a quote from wenger "Henry has an outstanding record. Thierry spoils you so many times that, if he doesn't produce when you expect him to, you go overboard." yeah, pls spoil me this time, ya?

ssef...

2005-03-08T21:50:00.000+08:00

my poster looks like a patchwork quilt... with loadsa holes somemore, hahha. promised my dad tt i'm not gonna dota till after bt, and i do intend to fulfill tt promise. will probably go on a dota marathon session after bt... need to repay the 2-week dota debt.

maths s is so darn tedious, wad happened to all the shortcuts?!!!

seniors

2005-03-04T21:14:00.000+08:00

saw seniors today... the guys really haf changed damn a lot lor, until i almost cudnt recognise them. trying to imagine myself as dark as j-man... bah, nvm. award for the most major transformation has to go to yifan man... teddy-bear --> lean mean fighting machine. cool man! yeah, i realise i'm totally neglecting the main topic but nth much to say wad... they're juz too qiang liao. heh, trying to imagine 04s78 same time next year... jianmin'll probably be as invisible as the phantom assasin, bingfu and david will probably mutate/evolve/metamorphosise(metamorphapooh in the case of david) into sth like yifan (or think thierry henry...), shouheng'll probably get his thunder-thighs (lol), zhiyong becoming more like his bro? (haha). and the girls will probably be the same (yeah, a bit of an anticlimax, but appreciate it for its comic intent!)

watched a game of women soccer today (hc vs sajc). hc tactics were like so negative lor... juz pump the ball up and then the gk has even more "style" than fabian barthez... conceded 3 goals in less than 3minutes (i timed it), cool. When i got weicong to come along to watch the match, he said "GIRLS soccer on HC home turf (if u can even call it a turf)???!!!", yeah... surely a recipe for disaster.

got a2 for cl'ao. not too bad i guess, at least an improvement! then my dad was quite happy... felt kinda weird coz he's the kind tt expects a perfect score from me everytime, then he pseudo-nags if i dun get it. yeah, guys havent mastered the art of nagging, so his "nagging" is kinda hilarious/comforting. lol...

ang

2005-03-03T21:05:00.000+08:00

ang is sooo darn hilarious when she gets onto the topic of singapore or malaysia... heheh, during gp today, i had this weird idea tt she should really be in the malaysia tourism ad (u noe the "malaysiaaaa, truleeeeee asia" one?). Then, instead of seeing the flight stewardess with the horribly fake smile, we see ang in her full glory (heheh... whee)... maybe tt'll boost singapore tourism for a change. and on the topic of hilarious teachers, the chem lecturer today (i forgot her name), the one who has the voice to succeed HoLY, cracked us up too. i rmb there was this damn funny one, where she said sth like "your generation is so blessed, unlike ur parent generation where i come from, or ur grandparent generation". Then we were like "huh? u mean u arent from our grandparent generation?". but then she's also hopelessly innocent too (she actually thinks tt the applause is a compliment!). oh man, i'm sooo mean today!
a'lvl results out tmr, and i'm really not confident abt my cl'ao. it's times like this when u start thinking abt the mistakes u made in the exam... and drive urself insane in the process too. argh, totally messed up the cl oral test, then when i made mistakes (which was quite often), i mumbled apologies in english! dun think i did too well in the other sections too... but then again, try imagining how our seniors feel now... but think they shud haf no prob la, they're juz so darn smart.
oh yea, saw bingfu's jnr yeowch too... juz like the legend bingfu told us. the fats actually looked alive then bingfu pulled off another vintage joke on kel li (i'm still laffing over it now...)

JTS

2005-03-02T21:48:00.000+08:00

Thanks a lot alfred....
nothing much about jts though... the food was great... really... never tasted such great barbequed stuff before.. no comments about the games... just that I regretted not going to pool with shouheng after dinner... oh yah... its was kinda hot there as well... haha ooops... totally drenched when I went home... sian....

quite weird... I find myself out of focus these few days... I should be concentrating on just one thing at a time.. but I keep letting stupid things distract me... cant let it happen anymore..

guess thats all for now... just found out got some GP stuff to do, so gotta keep this short... till next time(whenever that may be)

a year ago today...

2005-02-28T15:52:00.000+08:00

it's still firmly etched in my memory. there was tam simply REFUSING to let us off and continuously reminding us tt we had only like 52 weeks? till the A levels (wow! and tt was after only 3months). then we had conan, jianyong and joshua's fren crashing our classes. and then david was performing his violin, bingfu was singing. yeah, those were the days... then right b4 we went back to our sec schs, the few of us guys were flying aeroplanes (i'm not kidding) in the inner plaza (really!). I was STILL not feeling any pressure. Then it was time to go back.

cos i'm not an exceptional (either good or bad) student, the teachers took no notice of me (as usual)... so of cos i dint get a whiff of my results till it was really time. so then we had gone to have lunch (yeah, trust us to still have the appetite but then again, it's the chs canteen, not the hc one...). and we crashed mr liew's english lesson... haha, cos he's the only teacher who didnt chase us out (yeah, another one without a temper, lol).

strangely, the most impt part of the day (receiving the holy result slip) was the part i didnt really haf any real impression of... kinda weird but then again maybe not... since my results were just average.

x-country

2005-02-25T21:29:00.000+08:00

haha... think nike might haf engaged joshua to advertise their new flashy shoe designs during x-country. lol... it's like whenever he wears tt kind of neon-like shoes, it means tt he's really getting serious to thrash u no matter how fast u run. those are seriously his boots of travel man... it's like we see jf , boo and kel ng pass the halfway line then right after tt we see joshua teleporting towards the finish line lor.
and the guys in our class are seriously damn gay... now still got wad chin stun sia. *shiver* dunno who come up with this kind of crap. Eating is a really good way to vent ur sian-ness/ frustration/ wadeva negative feelings u may haf. Had 3 scoops of ice-cream, 1/2 a chicken, a chocobun for lunch, it's not a lot lor but they seem to think so. I juz eat more when i'm not restricted to hc canteen food.
Quality, not quantity...

2005-02-23T19:49:00.000+08:00

I had this sense of premonition when i woke up this morning, really afraid of the result in munich but curiousity took hold in the end. Went to check out channel newsasia during breakfast... and shit, it was bayern 3-1 arsenal. Bloody hell, i felt like someone laguna-bladed me. Then, i knew tt my day was gonna turn out badly AGAIN... cos my fortunes are ALWAYS inexplicably linked to arsenal's (dun ask me why but it's a trend stretching back to sec.sch). True enuff, reached school get niao-ed by almost every1 (suddenly the school seems to haf so many man u and chelsea fans). Even in the toilet, ppl were toking abt arsenal getting blitzed.
Oh, and i cant believe tt such simple-minded ppl can come up with such an elaborate prank... and the best part was tt i fell for it! damn... shud haf realised if i had been more careful. argh... then guitar was like drill drill and more drill, definitely not the slack guitar i noe... haha. And then, even pengsiang was needling me abt arsenal lah. sian diao. here's how our convo turned out.

PS: wah, arsenal lost to bayern 3-0 leh
me: no... it's 3-1 only (forces a smile)
PS: really meh... it was 3-0 when i switched off tv
me: toure netted a late goal
PS: oh... tyco one la
me: how was arsenal's play? got any clear chances anot?
PS: (with a straight face) nope
me: NVM

Hmm... bet the new paper is gonna be crapping abt how arsenal is falling apart and so on... anyway, i've vowed not to read the new paper anymore, so there! gonna revise chem now... no chance of tt cheering me up though.

down n out

2005-02-22T21:22:00.000+08:00

Felt really grumpy the moment i got out of bed this morning... damn buay song, dunno why also but cud haf been due to last nite's dota ownage (the other way round) and my lack of sleep. I made use of EVERY opportunity i cud to close my eyes... e.g. while eating breakfast, in the car, singing national anthem, maths lect. Turns out tt the tonic i needed to swing my mood back was anglk's hilarious critique on the singapore education system. Then angel came to spoil my mood again... actually not really her fault lar (there's always a 1st time! heheh), totally flunked the biotest.
Got home, decided to mug to make up for last night and then realized i still havent copied a large section of physics waves notes, and chem 's' was totally demoralizing. So... i gave up and decided to blog. Hopefully this will cheer me up, and no... i'm gonna refrain from dota during weekday nites. Think i need at least 7hr slp to stave off the grumpiness liao.

51 storeys

2005-02-20T20:13:00.000+08:00

had vertical challenge today... had to wait a whopping 2.5 hrs after registration for the 15 min "marathon" to begin. Then zhiyong was saying (seriously) tt we must jog/sprint the 1st 25 storeys then can slow down for the rest of the floors. So we really jogged, and then there were loads of ppl cheering us on so we just chiong lor. Turned out to be a really bad mistake... the 1st 10 storeys or so passed by in a blur then i became painfully aware of how inflexible my knee was becoming, so i slowed down. Then i realized the presence of the railings... haha, they were really useful in hauling myself from level to level. By the 40th storey or so, some guy from ANOTHER team tt started behind us overtook me... damn, i was thinking of trying to obstruct him but was too tired alredi. I think i took a really long time but i finished anyway. every1 else finished too (even david)! and the scenery on top of temasek tower is really spectacular... + the 1 R pt makes it all worth it. ouch.

scorched

2005-02-19T17:37:00.000+08:00

The temperature outside actually hit 37 degrees this afternoon. wonder how badly j-man is sweating... haha. and for tt matter, david too. vertical marathon tmr... at least it'll be in the shade although it's still gonna be as bad (or worse) than the horizontal marathon in the sun. juz hope tt we can make it through the marathon w/o any1 collapsing lah.

Played lotsa dota lately. hehe... i think the SA humji tactics r really useful for me (blink rox!). Really close shave yesterday... i was getting to the climax of the game with SA, starting to have a REAL impact on the opposition when my MUM came in. OMG... tt's like the ultimate skill lor, turn off com, we lose (well, we lost anyway but waddaheck), and i get niao-ed by classmates at school (well, i'll still get niao-ed even if i stayed but waddaheck). BUT luckily, i managed to convince her to let me off juz once (and partly cos it was arnd midnight and she was sleepy/ blur). whew.

i need a pissed-off look

2005-02-16T19:32:00.000+08:00

wah lao... got sabo-ed today again, but luckily tatchong oso got sabo-ed too. heh... dunno why, but him being there gives me a peculiar reassurance. i kinda knew it the moment they asked for "volunteers", an open invitation for jm et al. then after tt it's like almost every1 i met gave me mysterious grins, even strangers. must really find a way to shrug off my high profile liao, it's like there's really nothing special abt me lor. I think it's due to me being too nice liao, dun haf tt aura of danger abt me, unlike ppl like joonming whose grin can even look sinister. Heck, a sleeping shouheng probably looks even more dangerous than a snarling me. Maybe a pointy chin will help... gives one a pissed-off look and a razor-sharp weapon too. Hmm... maybe i shud oso practice the narrowed eyes skill tt junyong uses to such great effect. Then again, maybe having sheer size like david does will help too. Haha, maybe a mk look will help too (juz kidding, not really considering tt). Bloody hell, I think i look too bloody friendly, muz haf a look tt has middle fingers circling in a halo above ur head. Even my angel, looking so much like a young kid herself, has the audacity to say i look like a P6! Argh... and even now after all tt, i still dun feel pissed enuff to start hurling vulgarities.
Sigh... no point working up a temper. Tok abt random stuff now. Think the period btw 2-3pm on wednesdays is the time i hate the most. It's like every1's gone off their separate ways and the class bench is totally deserted. Oso got nothing to do... xcept talk crap... with urself (ok so i had shouheng to tok with today but tt doesnt really count). mario (the pe teacher) was so bloody hilarious... talks abt pt like i talk abt arsenal (lol). He even manages to incorporate physics concepts and bio knowledge into this kind of crap training. and tries to sound like a professional somemore. Snippets from his 'lecture'... was toking abt the torque (as in moments of force) involved in pull-ups, then abt how his 'overloading' methods were 'tried and tested'. all in all, an entertaining encounter (r all p.e. teachers this crappy?)
Listening to Dashboard Confessional's Hands Down now...

OOOPS...

2005-02-14T18:48:00.000+08:00

omg... where did the tagboard go????
damn, everything is going wrong for me. v. sian with the old template (it's like a black hole) and juz decided to DRASTICALLY alter it... now it's altered a BIT too drastically, argh... i HATE this. DAMN... maybe i'll juz do without a tagboard then.
v-day's juz abt the same as last year, qt as predictable as b4... saw zongyi's present for joshua! it's so darn hilarious... yea, tt one's definitely not juz a block of wood (but it definitely has strings attached one, lol). zhiyong's dustbin was oso very cool (speaking from 3rd person's perspective... haha), damn creative lor ... really regretted not thinking of tt one for a present (tho i dun think either my angel/mortal wud appreciate it). Oh, and saw shouheng's new ipod mini today... the box alredi looks so cool, i'm jealous. And the angel/mortal game's supposed to end on v-day today but dun think my angel or mortal knows... hmm, maybe i shud continue writing too?
Time to mimick david's style... sian, got hw to rush now. Still got bio tpt in animals tut, chem halogenoalkanes tut and dunno how many other *tut* tuts to rush... oh, and there's always the small matter of tidying up my bag (and my table too... heheh)

i'll never be a shopaholic...

2005-02-12T21:05:00.000+08:00

Went to buy v-day presents today at orchard... was actually intending to spend an hour or less in the actual selection but ended up burning away my entire afternoon. there was junyong always close at hand to remind me tt i wud get a slap in the face if i chose the wrong present, so ya... no pressure at all! After wandering around aimlessly for the better part of the afternoon, me and jm started getting pretty panicky, the jokes werent flowing as b4 and the $$ went flowing as a result (esp. for jm). Actually nv recalled spending tt much time/effort on v-day presents last year (a thought echoed by jm) but somehow... sigh, juz call us responsible snrs (nv imagine i wud one day call jm tt, LOL)

5 down, 1 to go...

2005-02-12T21:03:00.000+08:00

zzz... first the bad side of stuff...
5 days of holiday gone in a flash like that.. no hw done, no training... nothing...

but anyway, overall things has been not bad... its a good break from all the school work and stuff.. sadly i dont feel refreshed at all... guess slacking can be quite tiring as well. I think this is quite like a drug effect... feels good now, but once its over, all the pressure from schoolwork and stuff come back again. ack.

Well, I had a good CNY.. went visiting relatives, going alfred's house... dont worry alfred, it was quite fun i think... really enjoyed myself, ultimately nothing was screwed up.. so it was fine really.. oh yah... u do need more controllers... hahahaha..

Valentine's day coming!
Still cant find a present for my angel, after so long... thought i had a rather good idea earlier on, but now that i think about it.. maybe i should reconsider... haha anyone has ideas for me and alfred? must post it on the tagboard... thx...

dota... ... again

2005-02-11T20:44:00.000+08:00

really getting hooked on dota these days... i think even boo and david are hooked after today too. sian... my com still cant manage dota online using lancraft (darn!), but at least the bright side is tt i keep this temptation under a tighter leash. 4 hrs playing dota and juz realised tt my niche (yeah, dota is an ecosystem in itself, where i am the primary producer getting whacked by every1 else) is in the all-out anti-hero hero (i.e. slayer and demon witch). I was fine with naga siren too... if only she had ranged attack with ensnare then i can at least post a serious threat to j-man's PA.
had fun playing soccer too and btw, dun think there's a serious chance of my dad getting another controller for the xbox (awwww...). warned them tt my hse was really sian (and ulu too!), think they felt tt way too but at least we made the best out of a poor situation, eh? realised v-day is on the coming monday but i havent gotten presents yet... still cant think of any really meaningful presents (ppl who read this can contribute ideas?). Oh, and really SORRY for the inconvenience i caused to shouheng and joonming... i juz had a vague idea tt the bus goes to harbourfront (pls feel free to spam ur comments on e tagboard...) really sorry =(.

BELGIUM chocs for CHINESE new year...

2005-02-09T20:14:00.000+08:00

Chomped on loads of chocs today... in fact ate more chocolate than the usual festive goodies today. Feeling totally bored at relative's hse so just kept on shoveling junk food in, hope i dun get sore throat. Then hopped over to another relative's hse... cheong xbox there. Haha, totally owned them for fifa... then switched over to halo2 and thrashed them somemore...tt is until they chased me out *sigh*. Had 7 kiwis for dinner (or was it 8?), well i was hungry and there were those kiwis lying around in the fridge... and i needed sth tt wasn't heaty so tt i can continue my choco-exploits tmr.

chelsea 0-0 man city

2005-02-07T19:24:00.000+08:00

haha... had sort of a delayed rxn to this piece of news so enthu-ly provided by shouheng in the morning. I was thinking tt chelsea still haf a 9pt lead (slashed from 11)... nothing much to celebrate abt wad. Then i read the new paper (damn... was supposed to be boycotting it after their incredulous dismissal of arsenal)... and being THE NEW PAPER, they actually managed to make it seem as if chelsea r gonna get relegated. Here's how... a plethora of reasons for their doomsday prediction of chelsea i.e. robben's injury, chelsea's arrogance (wait a min., havent they always been liddat?), the inevitability of a blip (then how did arsenal manage an unbeaten season last yr?), and they still haf to play manure and arsenal (well, at least i can accept tt, i mean the latter one). SO, lemme conclude with my customary "TAKE THAT!!"
Hmm... wad else. Went lanning (= dota-ing in current terms), took in a few farny sights. There's this guy playing heroes 3 (on his own somemore), gunbound (errr....) and then the rest were dota-ing...LOL. I am a bloody noob in dota lah, got thrashed even when i got one of the stronger heroes (death prophet)... only 2 frags all game long. Arghz... then tt zeus was like everywhere lah... ok his lightning was everywhere but no dif lor. Sigh... well it was obvious that 78 lost the game lor but not by tt large a margin (at least i THINK so...)
Jnrs seem to be damn stressed with their workload now... dun think i felt liddat last yr and i'm certainly still feeling slack this time this yr (weird huh?). Ok... will attempt to cheong my angelmail now (inspired by jm). AND speaking of inspiration, nv knew the setting up of this blog wud haf such a profound effect on the class blogging habits... not bad at all!
Oh... and pug jelly rox (j-man got any more mp3s can send?)

2005-02-06T22:12:00.000+08:00

yeah... totally agree... the blog layout super duper boring... but no choice lor... both alfred and I know nuts about HTML.. totally dependent on our advisor, grace to do everything... the fact that the tag board exists is thanks to her! nvm... if I have time, and feel like it, i'll try to pick up something and work on the design... quite fun to do such stuff... I feel very guilty now.. I ought to contribute to the class blog as well... instead I am now blogging other things..
Honestly i dont think this will last... at least i dont think I will :) but currently, yes alfred, I am still visiting this blog, and jinfeng, lets bet a drink that we'll exceed 30 entries..
Oh yah... another thing i feel very unjustified is that i dont have power over the tagboard... Technically I should be able to censor certain stuff that I see unfit... but since grace is the technical advisor... I have no idea how to do this..
well... nothing much else... maybe i'll go write a bit to the class blog now... Its been a great weekend I think.. with the thought that CNY is only a 1:20 day away... starting to feel the atmosphere now..

feedback...

2005-02-06T16:50:00.000+08:00

hmm... time for some response to the varied comments received.
heh... i noe sarcasm when i see it, alan... and david, do u mean it too? er jf... wanna bet! i bet it'll exceed 20 (here's another one making it 4). Although i think tt the blog is really quite sian too... no need for the blog to live up to its title, rite? So i was juz thinking maybe we cud put in pics of arsenal and j-man's w.polo team... hahaz, bet tt'll get loads of attention (esp. from the gals, ... and arsenal fans/anti-fans). I cud oso upload pics of bossnia too to provide additional "motivation" for j-man to blog here (provided he's still visiting this JOINT blog...)

my neighbourhood's nightlife

2005-02-05T22:02:00.000+08:00

Went out to post the vertical challenge forms at around 10pm last night... discovered tt my neighbourhood was probably not as dreary as i thot it was.
LOADS of pubs and supper restaurants juz outside my street... there was this guy doing a hilarious rendition of Richard Marx's 'Right here Waiting', and ok... back to the main topic. Anywayz, my dad thot the forms MUST be posted tt nite otherwise it wudnt get delivered in time... so he quite literally kicked me out of the house to make sure i posted the forms (quite strange tt he shud take it more seriously than me... but oh well). It wasnt a wasted trip tho, nv saw my neighbourhood like dat before.
oh... and i realized tt david's blog is a very convenient reminder abt homework... the latest to-do list is most probably there.
