Tour of China

2009-12-28T08:21:00.000-08:00

Back from my Beijing-Tianjin-Chengde Trip. Although its the second time, i still enjoyed it somewhat, since many things have changed, especially the much colder weather this time and my cousins were there too.

A couple of ownage stuffs:

Phail!

?!@##$%

ULTIMATE!!!

Run.

2009-12-11T06:24:00.000-08:00

Wow haven't run long distance for awhile. Am glad i didn't stop in my 5 km run today. Keep pushing man.. Gotta become more fit.

Too much.

2009-12-08T06:00:00.000-08:00

haha. Contrary to what i expected, prom was helluva fun. Granted, i was initially quite reluctant about going. But after persuasion from many friends, i went instead. Part of my reluctance stems from what happened the day before Prom. Look guys, if you don't want to go Prom together, instead of showing bad attitude by not answering to any of my messages and calls, why not at least show basic courtesy by telling me you guys have other plans? To be honest i hold many of you with much respect. But after what happened, not so anymore. Best of luck in your future endeavours guys.

On the brighter side, had a great time taking pictures with Shooting mates as well as Korean Trip peeps. Just a pity i didn't head down to SupperClub to enjoy some post-prom fever...

So, this officially marks the end of Junior College life. Satisfied? That's really a hard one for me. I'd say more so in J1, where relationships with classmates was much healthier and I was happier too. Life after J2 midyear sucked, in part due to studies, and unfortunately, classmates who couldn't empathize how much importance i place in studies. I wouldn't say I'm totally faultless too. I admit my shortcomings have annoyed certain people. I've tried to change. Heck I even lowered myself by apologizing in instances when I've done no wrong. If that's not enough, then surely, that's it then. Seriously, if you're a true friend you'd understand that for me studies come first.

Revolution

2009-12-01T23:45:00.000-08:00

Liberated! Yeah, i can say that a kazillion times but strangely, i really don't feel the relief that i expected myself to experience early this year. Perhaps its really true that this initial surge of relief is quickly superseded by a feeling of anti-climax.

Anyway, engulfed by this sudden shroud of boredom and voidness in mundane tasks, i shall try to recount my arduous journey in the past few months leading up to the 'A' Levels examinations. Far as i can tell, I've been working hard the entire year. Heck, maybe the entire 2 years. To be prudent, I'll just consider this year. I've been studying conscientiously for every class tests, quizzes, exams for the first half of the year, albeit with a little entertainment thrown in here and there occasionally. That's still a acceptable form of lifestyle IMO. However, come June and thereafter, pace of studying started to pick up. Entertainment was slowly becoming a obsolete thing in my life.

Then, sometime in August marked the beginning of this insane period that i just went through, Intensive Studying( I don't know how else to name it lol). In preparation for the Prelims, studying was just the almost one thing in my life, clocking up to 8-10 hours daily during the study break. Its real tough, especially during the prelims when i slept an average of just 5 hours per night to mug, and i usually appear languished after a morning paper. Damn, health levels sure plummeted to below god knows what level..

Sure, after the prelims, took a small breather of a couple of days before Intensive Studying resumed during the September holidays. School resumed, yeah but it was tough as hell for me, yeah not the studies part as I've gotten used to it, but relationships with classmates. Loads of misunderstandings kind of wrecked me apart from them. I'm not trying to be extremely competitive, they think i am. I'm not trying to put studies over friends (Although putting it more aptly as prioritising studies is justified), they think i am. You get my drift..

So, my Intensive Studying reached its climax with the start of the 3 weeks long study break. Yeah, i think i had no entertainment except a couple of hours of TV or computer usage in TOTAL. Tough, hell no! Beyond tough.

Finally, the battle began on 10th November. Yeah it was a tough mathematics paper 1. Screw that. Hope i'll still be able to get an A. The first week was arguably the most miserable week in my life thus far. 4 days of exams, 5 hours of sleep daily, panadols, ginseng soup...lol you get what i mean... 2nd week was easier..3 days of exams..with a little respite in between. 4th week was the 2nd kickass week. Although there're only 2 days of exams, there's too insufficient time between it. I recall the night of Monday when i mugged till 2 am before quickly getting to bed, and having to wake up at abt 6.25am (thanks to dad who fetches me). Tuesday morning, day of the physics paper 3, i had to eat 2 panadols and bring a lozenge for sore throat. Down with a severe headache, i almost died (quite literally). Luckily, perhaps it's through god's help that my headache subsided just minutes before the paper started. The last week, last day, 30th November. I remembered going to school feeling anxious once again, probably feeling a lack of preparedness. Although i slacked a bit, i tried my best to prepare for Physics Paper 1. Please, 12 paper 1 should be enough?

Well there's all to this short reminisce. Over the span of this 1 month, it certainly felt like a year of battle to me. It was too long!!! Alas, I'm glad that i managed to pull through relatively unscathed. Indeed, this long journey will probably be one of the most memorable ones in my life, and although the outcome of this battle remains unknown(precariously so), I hope I'd be able to reap the benefits of all my hardwork.

Peace out.

2009-05-15T09:41:00.000-07:00

Wow, about 6 months since my last post. lol everytime i come here its always begins with me ranting about how lazy i am in the upkeep of my blog.

Its 12.42 am, yeah supposed to hit the sack right now but my body clock has apparently changed so drastically that i can't sleep before 1am daily, due to incessant late night revisions and studies (god what a 'no-lifer' as my friend so aptly puts it. But i just wanna work hard if not i'd regret it)

Talking about life right now, nothing short of minimum entertainment due to pretty heavy workloard (and its gonna get even heavier come term 3). I'll be determined to work even harder then and get as many As as possible and continue to look forward to that ultimate liberation at the end of the year, which is on 30th of November which marks the end of my examinations.

Hope i'll be able to post more, adios.

ScreweD!

2008-09-26T10:22:00.000-07:00

Screw myself. Damn myself. Fuc* myself. lol I'll never ever be able to write things on a blog regularly.

Well, I completed my promotional examinations and despite all the immeasurable time spent and hard work done, I think I still screw it up and my results will surely fall below my expectations. Damn i just wish my pessimism will be untrue.

On the bright side, today is my last paper and I've never felt such an overwhelming upwelling of liberalism before. I reckon this is due to my over-emphasis on getting good grades that resulted in me studying like a insane nerd.

Also, I went to the Padang to watch the F1 practice sessions this evening. It was good overall though i found watching the same thing over and over again boring. (who wouldn't?) Noise level was a tad too high but was still acceptable for my ears. I just wish my ensuing trips to the Padang to watch the F1 races will make me forget, at least temporary, about my studies.

Randomness

2008-07-31T09:07:00.000-07:00

Sigh its getting rather late so I'd try to keep this short. First, there is no way in hell I'd ever keep up with constant posts. Life's such a bitc* that sometimes you barely have time to catch a breather.

Just had a intense 2 week tests marathon before. Now its time for a respite, with no tests. Need some getting used to (ROFL). Anyway, despite trying so hard, i still can't score for physics. I guess i need to use better ways to study for physics. And, i guess my dream for Full Exemption Scheme is screwed because of physics and maybe, Economics. But anyway, i really hope for 2 partial exemption schemes! May God bless me.

That's all for now. I'm just talking to myself rofl! Goodnight.

The Truth

2008-05-09T09:42:00.001-07:00

The truth is, I CANNOT blog. For all time's sake, it has been 1 month and 5 days to be exact, since i last came in here and typed some stuffs.

Well, since many things happened over the past month, there should be more than enough incentive for me to start writing.

In school, life's getting more and more hectic. Just over one month, there are 3 projects(PW inclusive) to do. Unfortunately for my class, either there has been a technical blunder or our class is just unlucky enough to have one of the worst timetables. Hence, with dismissal time of about 3 plus each day, there is insufficient time to finish all tutorials, let alone do revisions for the weekly tests that just come bombarding on us all like there's no tomorrow.

To be frank, I think i'm still coping well with all the tests(Except for today's Physics' lecture test which pisses me off to the core). But thats at the expense of studying into the wee hours, such as 1 plus in the morning. I'm pretty sick of this routine man.. I think I gotta start studying smarter, like some of my classmates so i can get sufficient bedtime.

And damn it's always the romance department that makes me miserable. I always put undue pressure on myself when it's time to make a move on the girl i fancy. The irony is that I'm so at ease and confident around the girls in my class and those whom i know, and when I'm not really doing anything related to dating. I really gotta start cultivating remaining calm when making my moves, and stop thinking too much and just do it. (Damn it's so easy to say man...But uragh! I hope i'd be able to overcome it) So, more practice in the dating arena, heck-care crash and burns with girls and just work on improving my skills!

2008-04-04T08:25:00.000-07:00

Wow been another long interval since i last updated. I am really not cut out for blogging.
Anyway, for some unknown reason, i got shortlisted for shooting club and i got into the Air Rifle team.

Initially I wanted to shoot just for fun. Though i thought i had chances of getting in, they were slim. But it turns out that I'm in! LOL. I'm probably not going to stay there because I've made it a point to join a sports CCA to get fitter. Of course, my genuine choice would be basketball, but upon seeing all the secondary school team players joining, I decided against it as I'd be an inferior over there.

So that brings me to the other choice, which is Volleyball. Trials are yet to come and I guess I'll just wait till then and go for any Shooting trainings. If i am able to enter volleyball, then I'd quit Shooting.

And then there's this classmate of mine who thinks that I'm a stalker when I'm not even remotely attracted to her. Everytime i said "hey there" in msn, she'd go offline in 1 minute without replying. LOL. I think this is just plain rude and uncivilised of her to behave like this. I really hope she isn't as bad as i thought, or else it sucks to have a classmate like her.

Good Friday

2008-03-20T09:45:00.002-07:00

A happy good friday to all my Christian friends out there! And with this holiday brings the start of the hyped 'long weekend.'

Well, this week was both fun and tiring, with lessons ending each day at an average of 4 pm. Today was even a bummer, with the last lesson ending at 5pm! Now, let me talk about my class. It's really a multinational class with people from good old China, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore lol.

My classmates are generally good people with the exception of some of them with strange antics. For example, this girl from Korea sarcastically dubbed the 'Korean Babe' never fails to piss me off with her extremely unoriginal slang. What's worst she even carries herself like that of an American. For god's sake be yourself! I know this might be the way you talk naturally after studying in the all too famous ACS(I). But this slanging is too disturbing as it makes not only me, but many others feel that she's trying to act like someone she's not.

Then, there's this guy from Malaysia who seemingly can't stop to mug. I mean, alright i know he's hardworking but just the sheer fact of seeing him doing his work almost gives me the impression that he is very afraid to lose out in studies and will stop at nothing to perfect his results. There's a good thing about him though. Just mug with him and one will be assured of getting pretty satisfactory results. =D

Then, there's this girl from China, named XinTong. OMG she's almost a complete soloist and it seems that she's also another super mugger. Well, fact that people like her are mugging makes me feel like mugging too so i can beat them. However, i do empathize her for having little friends and being alone most of the time. It's really sad. I hope she is able to find joy in JJ. After all, after travelling so many miles from hometown, surely she'd wish to be happy studying here? ROFLMAO!

That's all for now, gonna enjoy my long weekend to the fullest! Bye folks!(If there's anyone reading, that is. lol)

2008-03-18T06:07:00.000-07:00

It's been yet another long day at school. Lessons ended at 4.30pm today and i went home.

I usually wouldn't post but today i really feel i need a rant-box.

First I feel extremely painful, to the extent of kicking my ass because I'm such a timid guy. There's this girl whom i find rather attractive from my class. It was after school and we boarded the same bus and i sat in the back, and she sat a couple of seats in front of me. Then we alighted at the interchange and she was just mere metres in front of me. Damn i wish i could curb that intense palpitation at the moment. I wanted to just just say hello and probably ask her where she lived. But at the moment i was about to muster enough courage to do so, she actually went another way!!! Damn how i wished i could do it a few seconds earlier and at least we could talk a little.

In the ensuing moments I had only myself to console the overwhelming disappointment.

It is then i realised how painful regret is, very in fact. Next time I'm just gonna talk to her whenever i have the chance. I'm just gonna walk up to her no matter what and open my mouth.
As they always say, one life, live it. I don't wanna live in a life full of regrets.

I hope i fully understand the fundamental meaning of "Rejection is better than Regret" real soon, and can put away all expectations and results of any sort and just pursue my dreams.

Please, let me succeed.

Wednesday Madness

2008-03-05T05:17:00.000-08:00

Alright so I haven't post for a while. That's justifiable by the fact that nothing interesting happened in the past few days. Well, fact that I'm doing a new entry is because something significant happened today (duh).

Firstly we J1's were informed of our class allocation today and we were supposed to check out our classes at the concourse. Being the typical Singaporeans that we all are, many simply zoomed to the concourse when our last lesson ended, and there were a freaking throng at the concourse that i had to go to the cafeteria to have my lunch first before going back there.

To my dismay, i ended up in a class which i only knew 2 persons. Not that it matter, I'm not close to them anyway. This leads to the frustration of losing that bond with my previous classmates and having to make new friends all over again. I feel that they should just allocate Orientation groupings just the same as classes so that everyone can help each other better since they'd already known each other for long and have built a sense of camaraderie.

In the afternoon, there was the unofficial CCA fair and many CCAs set up booths along the common corridor and there was a myriad of activities ranging from dota draft matches put up by the JJEG(Jurong Junior Electronic Gaming) club to showcases of various moves by the Taekwondo club. I was dragged to try out the Shooting Club by my friends and i found it rather cool to fire a rifle. Though i wasn't that accurate but i enjoyed the learning part of handling a rifle as well as the shooting process. I got a 5 shot streak within a black zone of the bullseye and i think it considered commendable for a first-timer.

Thinking of which CCA to join is a bloody dilemma. I want to join Basketball but i get pissed seeing so much fcuk* faces in the team. I'm also considering hockey but they say you'd get a hunchback due to the prolonged bending. Roflmao. Badminton was another option but they didn't had any programs today. Guess I'd gotta wait till the official CCA fair starts before I'd make my final decision.

That's it for now, I thank anyone who might be reading this because honestly no one really visits this secluded blog. Till then, adios!

Improvements

2008-02-29T07:49:00.000-08:00

Wow, I guess I'm making improvements huh. At least the interval between my posts are shortened to one week. Pretty commendable i guess.

There's been nothing significant to talk about this week except when i crashed JJ night last evening. At first skeptical, i thought it will not be worth the time and effort going all the way back just to accommodate my friends who were enthusiastic about the event. However, when i participated in the much anticipated mass dance and did all those cheers and chicken dances(LOL), I really enjoyed it and the whole atmosphere just gave me an almost surreal feeling, and i suddenly recalled the same things we did for Orientation 1. Also, I was glad to see many people who transferred to other JCs to come back for JJ Night. I guess the teachers were right. It's that unfathomable feeling that brings everyone back to JJ. And because of this, i do believe that JJ has one of the best Orientation around. =D Although its over already and there are no foreseeable events of such magnitude in the near future, the memories will be always kept and the experiences gained are surely priceless.

Another thing which has happened to me lately, I just embarked on a 'not-so-good' weight loss program. Basically i will run as much as possible per week. At least 3-4 times of 30 minutes each. With much perseverance, i managed to run approximately 6km thrice this week, and i'm planning to cut some slack and rest over the weekend. After all, it's my first week and I should'nt go too harsh on myself. As a matter of fact, i just ran today and achieved the best timing(but shyte-ty relatively compared to the timings of most runners). I don't plan to be a runner anyway but why do i care? LOL I still do, maybe because i just doesn't want to do too badly in everything i do.

Well enough for now, it's getting late and i have a couple of things to do tomorrow, that includes getting my bag and altering my new school uniform and pants. Good night!

Nothing

2008-02-22T09:13:00.000-08:00

Drats, I can never commit myself to post on a regular basis. I'm oft to wonder how does certain people manage to post everyday, much less talking about large ones.

Neeway, I'd just talk about my recent life happenings. Recently i got back my JAE posting results and i got posted back to JJ. I really did wish to get into Anderson though, but the contradiction is that I'd probably appeal back to JJ due to the large ease of transport as my Dad's gonna fetch me and i get to wake up 35 minutes later. JJ's not bad actually, the atmosphere and there are lots of friendly people around. But, meditate on it, there are always friendly people whenever you are, isn't it?

Then came my cousin telling me how good CJC was. Being the fickle-minded me, i had the urge to appeal there(Which have an extremely high probability of succeeding.)Reason, being that it was just an overall better JC and all that. But after realising that they pray every morning and listen to some stories, i decided that it isn't a place wasn't me even though i could just shut out away from the religion's culture.

Then again came SAJC. It was my genuine choice JC. I liked the school primarily for its coolest uniform. And i thought the new campus at potong pasir looked awesome too. However, after considering the fact that i still have to wake up about 30 mins earlier each day, and that i'd remain among the cream of the crop in JJ, I seriously made myself decide that JJ is the final place. But, somewhere within the depths of my heart, i still like SAJC! Then the contradiction comes in, teachers saying that the school isn't performing academically, and seeing a fall in its Cut-off Points for JAE this year is equally depressing. Damn what a paradoxical mind i have!

That's it, I'm staying in JJ even though I can appeal to SAJC. Well i guess i'd just gotta work hard and it'll turn out fine. Then there's this Scholarship Programme for the better scorers of their L1R5 in JJ. Luckily, i just managed to be at the borderline of their requirement and was selected.
Under this programme, everyone gotta take part in a certain programme. I'm not gonna say the details but I'm taking the Nanyang Research Programme mainly because i wanna study Physics and Mathematics at an in-depth level. The other plus point is that it can be coverted into a H3 subject of which if i do well, can accrue a lot of points for my A levels point system.

Well I'm pretty glad that I managed to write something here after such a long break. I'd definitely try to update on my blog as regularly as possible even though i know few to none actually visit my blog. LOL

Holiday's Exhaustion

2007-12-23T18:47:00.000-08:00

That's it. I'm simply not cut for blogging. There is a time interval of 7 months between my last post and the previous one. What the heck! I don't understand why others have the commitment to blog everyday, if not once every couple of days.

I'm too lazy to blog as not many people read it anyways. But since I have much to share, i decided to post something then.

I'm back from my holiday trip. I joined on a tour and we went Beijing, Chengde and Tianjin. First of all, the weather rocks. When i first arrived at Beijing and went out of the airport, a wave of cold frosty wind hit me. I was still feeling okay then, but as time goes by by internal heat got somewhat put out and i started feeling really cold despite wearing 4 layers LOL. At Chengde, it was the coldest over there as it was a hill city at sea level of approximately 3800 metres. The temperature range was 2 degrees to -12 degrees and the average was -5 degrees. Snow was plentiful everywhere and everything was just good. Tianjin had a temperature simliar to Beijing, but as it was south of the capital city, it was oddly colder that Beijing. This could be due to the different wind currents around the world.(I'm not so sure about it actually.)

The culture over there is wonderful! The old folks are very much unlike the ones over here. They really stick to the saying of "one life, live it." After retirement, many of them get together to do a variety of things such as practicing Taiji, playing some sports like Badminton, or more commonly dancing in the many parks in Beijing.

Next, i visited lots of interesting places. They include the Forbidden City, the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world, the Summer Palace, Great Wall of China, the world's largest human-made structure, also one of the 7 wonders of the world. I also visited many other places but i won't go into that.

I also get to taste many local delicacies like the Beijing roast duck, Tianjin's Goubuli buns and even the Emperor Feast! Although many meals are oily, I took comfort in the fact that I'd be eating them for about a week only and enjoyed them nevertheless.

There are a whole lot more things to talk about but if i do that I might just end up posting a couple of pages. In a nutshell, Beijing is good, and china is fabulous(except their toilets which are really really undeniably awful). Having visited China thrice, i urge those who haven't been there before to visit that country and enjoy their wonderful culture and lifestyle.

I think this is the longest post that I'd ever publish because there aren't many things to post during the mundane daily life. For that I pat myself in the back.

It's Christmas eve and I haven't got anything planned tonight. I hope to go chill out on the streets of Orchard with some friends and countdown to Christmas. Also, I wish I had a special companion whom i can spend Christmas with. Alas, I don't have such luck and I'd be probably spending Christmas with my family.

To everybody out there in the world! Make peace, not war! Lastly, Merry Christmas!!!

Liberated?

2007-11-18T04:37:00.000-08:00

First and foremost(damn not some letter writing again?), I seriously and undoubtedly haven't posted anything in this almost dilapidated space in the virtual world. So sorry(though i know no one really comes here to watch my post since its so inactive! Roflmao.) to all. I'd start posting more nowadays.

Woah. The big 'O's have just ended and man i felt as liberated as (some noun, perhaps a bird). Well, yeah that's for the first 3 days i suppose.

Now, barely 7 days after my last paper, i damn well feel the immense boredom creeping up slowly onto me like an insidious menace. Oh man that sure is bad. Right now I'm trying to balance my life between doing workouts, practicing piano and gaming. Looks like i don't have time for anything else.

I'm worried about my future education, but dope! leave it till later man. I'm gonna fully enjoy life and bask in my enjoyment with as much fever as possible. I haven't had such a chance since June.
Looks like I'll post again if anything crops up!

Catchy Japanese Christmas Song!

2007-11-18T04:30:00.001-08:00

I can't say more. It's simply unique.

2007-04-20T06:56:00.000-07:00

Finally, an unprecedented, most worthwhile post.

A day has passed since we, Henderson Secondary School choir tried our very best and attained a bronze award in the Singapore Youth Festival 2007. To be honest, a bronze was the last thing everyone anticipated. When in the main hall of VCH, i waited anxiously and my heart sank right down at the very moment where the official announced our result.

Then, i saw laughter, and sobs. We're in fact among the couple of schools in stark contrast to the overly-exuberant Anglican High School (GWH). I also felt for the first time, how serious we treated our results although most of us seem to be uninterested.

But, to view it another way, we had matter of factly performed the best of all time. Me? I've certainly gave it my all and yeah man, i don't regret, in any bit. What's left would be good experiences and memories. I hope if i enter a JC, i'd join a choir again and bring it to greater heights.

Lastly, i can't really believe that my CCA journey is ending. 4 years ( 3 and a half to be exact) really, undoubtedly, unmistakably passed within the blink of an eye. Orginally sceptical, i now can't bear to leave the CCA. LOL i know this sounds cliche and dorky but thats the truth that feelings were nurtured with the passage of time.

Speech Day is the last performance. Behold, for it will be a good one.

2007-03-22T05:30:00.000-07:00

Its a mundane 22th of march and i've yet to officially embark on the renowned 'o' levels revision, with the exception of mother tongue, of which i started not too long ago, in a bid to score an distinction during the mid-year paper. Time to get some ass of the couch and spring into action.

Well enough of studies, it was my first unprecedented run through the rain this evening. Quite an experience i must say. I just realised that i've nothing much more to write here. Perhaps till an interesting event will i once again logged on and share it with everyone.

Laters then.

2007-03-01T04:58:00.000-08:00

So it's been 2 months since i last updated. Either i'm just lazy or just not the sort who'd keep an online journal. Yeah its 9:03:00 on my watch right now and i just finished my workouts. I wonder how many zillion times do i have to workout before i could official be "slim, " and probably "athletic."

Well, who cares anyway, i'm just gonna continue this gruelling activity till i'm satisfied with my body. Darn i'm gonna stick to my new year resolution man.

One more thing, i find myself failing with the female counterpart in the dating game, almost everytime. The reason is simple, thats because i put some god damn freaking pressure on myself which i don't know why myself, which leads to ceaseless nervousness, and this, obviously was a big turn off to her. It's highly probable that i wanted things to work out smoothly, but still screw up everything in the end.

I'm just gonna be cool and not worry about it anymore.

2006-12-31T09:20:00.000-08:00

Woah! Been very busy to post anything this while. Returned last week after a trip to Jiangnan province, China had left me fagged. Well, right now its about an hour and a half after my mini-countdown of 2007 at home.

At first skeptical, i feel it's harmless having a New Year Resolution this year. So, i thought of sharing it with those 'fortunate enough to stumble' upon my little thoughts-directory. First of all, have a healthy lifestyle and be happy. Next, may i truely excel in my studies this year. Thirdly, build up my physique and stay fit! Lastly, i hope to meet a great girl whom i can share my wonderful life experiences with.

Good night, and a happy new year out there folks! =D

2006-12-10T01:47:00.000-08:00

WoW, 3 weeks since i last posted something. Sure, it's getting a little boring. and heck, there's still a whole lot of homework yet to be done. About 3 weeks left. Thats about 21 days, add a couple more days here and there. Finally, time to fly elsewhere to take a breather. Lets hope Shanghai ( and a couple more districts ) would be able to fufill my wish. Enjoy the last freedom folks. XD

2006-11-19T08:02:00.000-08:00

Finally, I'm back from the camp. I had thought it'd be yet another dreaded camp like the year before. However, I was so pleasantly surprised when there's so much more freedom this year. We even went out in the middle of the night getting snacks to eat. The games were pretty average too, as compared to the humilating ones we're forced to do in the past. There's still song we're learning, the set piece for the following year's SYF. It gave me an epiphany, seriously. Matter of factly, there are choir songs which actually sound nice when you sing them. Aww this song is truely the nicest i've sang since three years.

Oh well, long break ahead. Time to make full use of it.

Really, enjoy the holidays folks. =)

Wow i'm finding more and more incentive to use my blog oftenly. Alright i performed at the Victoria Concert Hall (VCH) this afternoon and for a long time till now, experienced something near to a shock. The event's schedule was crap as everything as planned seem to be moved to an earlier time slot. As a result, our choir instructor couldn't make it on time to the performing venue, and we had to wait for the first-half of the programme to finish before we could perform on the second-half. Though performed, quality was pretty substandard. Hope the same wouldn't happen next year on SYF.

That's all for today. Have a nice day.

(LOL this seems to be quick news update, but i don't care lol)

What a long day. My first time to Gleneagles hospital today as Mom had to take a x-ray. It's a pretty old hospital, yet it still exudes an old-world charm that i suppose, would never fail to intrigue a tourist. Tested out nike free v5.0 on the running route today. One phrase for it , 'super-doper.' Guess i'd soon be hooked up on running as a hobby. I'm gonna do everything that i've planned, no excuses. Live life to the fullest.

It's gonna be another long day tomorrow with performance. Time to rest well.

What's up guys. It's finally the holidays, after a long wait. The bridging programme over the 2 weeks had wore me out, pretty much entirely. All i can think of right now, is to sleep and catch up with all the lost sleep. As i'm putting my thoughts into writing this post now, probably some of my friends and classmates are at the airport preparing to depart, if not already on the airplane. I feel it's quite a sad thing that they are able to return home only for approximately 1 and a half months in 12 months. I suppose, that's life. LOL.

Time to enjoy life, and have fun on your journey homebound guys. Lastly, enjoy the holidays folks. It's gonna be our last. XD

Right, approximately 3 weeks since i last posted. Nothing exactly interesting to mention. Why not give a little 'preview' of what's my life's gonna be in the next 2 months. I'm gonna give my entire room an extreme makeover. ohh thats sounds familiar. I'm gonna learn to play 2 piano songs, 'To Zanarkand,' a melody from Final Fantasy X, and 'The Ascent of Stan' by Ben Folds Five. I'm gonna learn the right hairstyling tips as well as get myself a couple of REALLY nice cologne. I'll try to tonw up my body, at least a little. Well, no professional guidance =p. And yeah, do lots of jamming with those punks, and basically, life live to the fullest, and enjoy it.

What's the deal man. I find it boring nowadays that the exams over. Though i'm relaxed, i feel bored. Alright, time for some boosting of my life to unmeasurable greatness. I just discovered most bloggers express their everyday activities throughout the 24-hour span. Guess i should do that too, right now.

It was a breezy morning when i got up and went for school. Everything was usual, but intricately delicate. It was a sleepy journey to Tamasek Polytechnic and the lecture was pretty okay and everyone was enjoying themselves. Afternoon, time for some enjoyment with buddies after a long time and went to orchard cineleisure to catch 'John tucker must die.' Great movie, especially for those in the dating scene. Now, turning 10, tv time. Tomorrow would be a good day

Nice day ahead folks.

Feelings, a symbiosis between feelings between and action, i feel, is just too profound for me to completely comprehend. I doubt u can never understand the unfathomable truths of this phenomena, yet i am able to experience it.

At times, it makes you go wild, and occasionally do insane things. I think the question lies in controlling our emotions, not understanding it. At this juncture, i must admit i'm caught in a massive whirlwind of emotions, and have lots of problems dealing it. God bless, i'm gonna solve it man.

If you happen to see this post, be it stumbling upon my blog or out of curiousity, let me share with you this quote. i find it pretty meaningful. "Fear less, hope more;
Whine less, breathe more;
Talk less, say more;
Hate less, love more;
And all good things are yours."-Swedish Proverb

I'm oft to wonder, how voidness can make its way into our intellectual souls after every pretty 'magnificient' phases of our life. Its post-exam now, and people's partying over the freedom after a week plus of torture, for some. Quaintly, i feel nothing. Probably time will answer to my heart's hallowness. It's time to ease back and get to some serious enjoyment.

Enjoy the freaking post-exam period folks. =)

Look outside your window, and if you're living at high stories, good, because you'll see this amazing faded landscape with a PSI of 150 right now. Its quite cool actually, except the negative health impacts. Imaging drving along the country side with this tinted, diminishing light rays by the lampost. Add a couple of drifts perhaps, and you'll probably feel yourself in a movie. Total coolness.

Speaking of that, i'm down with last 2 papers. And after that, its purely insane fun-time. Cant imagine what's gonna happen though. We'll see.

Enjoy the 'fog' folks. =)

What a day! Though there had been little lessons this morning, my afternoon had weared me out, pretty much. I just ran all the way to Tanglin Mall and back. I discovered there're in reality loads of hearty runners out there, who would just smile and give an acknowledging gesture to you. I met a couple of them, and felt real good.

My mom just got discharged yesterday, after 3 hours of a minor operation in SGH. She made me real worried and i had to took a cab there right away after school. Everything is positive, and i yearn they continue that way down the road.

Well, exams are a couple of days away. Time to get down to serious business, and wish everyone do well for it.

Feeling a little pelvic discomfort after the run, i'm stopping here. Nice day folks. xD

2006-09-18T05:26:00.000-07:00

hey there.
Today's post gonna be short and sweet. The exam's approaching like a comet riveted on mother earth and would stop at nothing to blast it into million fragments, creating a insane firework. oh well, something recently gave me an epiphany, and i'm really thankful and happy. I learnt a lot, a hell lot actually. Alright, its time to get to some revision and work done.

Laters.

It'd been a week since i last posted. Been busy with school work and other stuffs. It's yet another sunday morning. As i look out of the window, i'm greeted with the land breeze and the noises and sounds which makes up the hustle and bustle of daily life. I've an objective later in the afternoon. By hook or by crook, i'd get it done. I've hesitated too long enough.

To you friends out there, be ready to hear heartening news. =)

2006-09-09T21:21:00.000-07:00

Its the early sunday afternoon and i find myself running out of time. School's starting in approximately 20 hours and i've yet to start my homeworks. Thought it might be strange that girls actually have a hell load of things to write in their blogs. Guess they're just too good linguistically. Going outdoors soon to get my watch. Baby i'm pinning on you for too long.

Laters then.

2006-09-09T07:22:00.000-07:00

Wow, i just reached home not too long ago. Had a fun time cycling with jerome and hk. The land breeze, the people and the atmosphere over at East Coast Park is simply fantastic. Guess it'll be a good getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life, as well as an ideal place for couples to enjoy each other's accompany.

Well, i'm exhausted right now. Leave it to fate if i'm going to post again later on.
