New year

2010-02-11T06:45:00.000-08:00

Happy chinese new year everyone.

It has seemed like an eternity since I touched this blog. My 'O' level results have already been released quite some time ago and... well apparently I got 11 for my L1R5. 1 point away from my target, but nevertheless, I'm quite happy with it. I applied for CJC, and I got accepted (Woohoo!!)
.
Ok moving on, I want to share something about JC life. It's actually not as fun and "slack" as a number of people perceive it to be. Darn, I've met so many "Terrys" (Terry is a dude in my secondary school class who always mugs like mad), and all of them have similar aggregate scores and really are the type of people who do a lot of work.
The subjects are no joke either, it requires much more work and effort from an individual in order to score. Ok, anyone who already knows all this stuff and is thinking "Ahh bullshit man, just move on with your story", then this is the part you should be happy about as I'm moving on :)
Thankfully, CJC has quite a number of activities planned for their students such as an awesome orientation, Rockefella (a rock concert), and overseas trips.

Anyway, I just have to say my post-Olevel holidays were really fun, too bad it didn't felt as long as I thought it would be. Hanging out with BryanC and Gerry to jam every once in a while really makes me super "high"

Chinese new year is approaching, time to see all dysfunctional family members and give them the same reply to their questions: "I'm 17 and I'm in a JC".
Standard, most of them are going to ask me "What school", "What subjects" and "What ambitions". Being a person who dislikes thinking too much about the future, I'll often get thoroughly annoyed with these questions. Oh well, that's life.

Time to get some rest, I'll update soon.

Hello world,
This is one of the rare moments that i get to blog. Have to relieve my stress by surfing the net and blogging at night. Still, i cannot help but worry about what is going to happen.
I'm still hopeful about the day the examinations arrive.
8-10 points??? Definitely.

Rare chance

2009-09-11T10:21:00.000-07:00

Hello world,
Ok, this is one of the rare chances i have to blog, so i am going to make full use of it. Today is friday (technically saturday as it has passe 12), 2 more days before the preliminary examniations continue. Once again, i feel a lot of pressure and apprehension.
Still, i have to find some way to overcome this. Anyway, yesterday i went to brasbasah to get a new set of strings and a string cutter. Incidentally, i saw some new gibson guitars displayed in Swee Lee. The most outstanding 1 would have to be the reverse flying V. Not only did it look badass, but the sound was awesome, very bright and nice tone. The dude from swee lee was nice and allowed me to try it. Really a cool guitar.

Currently, i still have roughly about a 6 more days of examinations before it ends and then it will be a month before the dreaded O level exams arrive.. Really hoping i can do well enough to get about 8-10 points.

Ok, academics aside, i have noticed somethings a teenager has to go through during his or her early teenage years (this is under emotional changes).
Many, ok ALMOST EVERY teenager (except me) would tend to become exceptionally 'emo' at around 13/14. Nope, don't ask me why. Its just natural. They would feel the whole world is against them and they are somehow the loneliest beings on the planet.
Well if you ask others about the solution to this ridiculous matter, they would either tell you that these 'kids' will get over it, or send them for mindless counselling.
For me, I just tell them listen to a little AC/DC or rock n' roll song. That will do the trick, haha.

Ok, had fun blogging. Thats it today people, stay healthy, keep safe,

and Good Night.

Hello world,
Not posting very often due to upcoming O levels examinations. Just wanted to make a short post about something recently. Sometimes defaming can be a lowly and unscrupulous action don't you think?

Incidentally, my pal kaho's stead has recently been the target of cyber bullying. Quite sad and pitiful but it would be meaningless to simply get angry and retaliate mindlessly. Hello world,
Not posting very often due to upcoming O levels examinations. Just wanted to make a short post about something recently. Sometimes defaming can be a lowly and unscrupulous action don't you think?

Incidentally, my pal kaho's stead has recently been the target of cyber bullying. Quite sad and pitiful but it would be meaningless to simply get angry and retaliate mindlessly. If you ask me, I feel that the culprit is really naïve and childish. On top of that, he is probably a rather sad and revengeful person, considering his superfluous actions. In one of his comments, he questioned my intelligence.
No doubt, I am no genius. Yet, I am much more intelligent than people who would simply resort to such tactics to get back at people they dislike; while leaving decisive evidence for people to guess their “elusive” and “hard to find” identity.
Very impressive.. Not their actions, but their attitude towards this. They feel no remorse over the things they have did so far.
And if you have noticed, I used to word “they”. Yes more than one culprit. Sadly to say, I have come to a conclusion that the culprits are some people which I know and not want to get into trouble.
Quite sad, hiding under that poorly cultivated façade. Lying to their friends such as myself to create a “strong” alibi and more importantly, not admitting to their mistakes.
This is out of my hands and I have decided to just let nature takes its course instead of confronting with the culprits (which I have found out thanks to some juicy information my other sources have shared with me)
There happens to be a cycle known as karma, if you do not believe in it, so be it. Besides, how long can they continue your little gimmick?
PS: Another friend of mine have already deduced this little “riddle” as well

Chinese Oral OVER!!

2009-07-09T09:39:00.001-07:00

Yes, as stated. ITS OVER PEOPLE!! No need to ever worry about stammering ridiculously in front of the examiner anymore. Even so, todays oral went mysteriously well.
The question asked for the conversation segment was.. Easy.
Really very lucky.. Indeed, heaven works in such a cryptic manner, so if theres one thing i have learnt, do not begrudge anything god has planned for you, sometimes, its for the greater good.

To all my friends having oral tomorr.. Oops, i meant today since it passed 12.
Good luck

And once again cheers to all my classmates who did their oral examination today!!

Quick and effective

2009-07-06T07:09:00.000-07:00

Recently, i have seen some of my friends fight over different matters respectively. Well, to be frank, its rather hilarious !! Cracked me up after a long day, thanks people!!

But my main point is, i understand how all my friends feel towards these kind of fights.. But, there are other better ways to solve these misunderstandings besides all the ending friendships kind of stuff.
Take my advice, have a good talk.

Finally!!

2009-06-22T09:40:00.000-07:00

Hey people,
Finally writing after a long long while.. Ok just a quick post. I shall sum up EVERYTHING i did during the june holidays. Just a quick summary, any questions please feel free to ask.
1. Chinese O-level examination, oh god, this was really nerve wreaking. Like honestly, i felt like my pee could come out anytime. Nope, not exaggerating, i am SERIOUS!! But still.. i managed to get pass it and hey, i think i can get at least a B4 haha
(considering i always have borderline passes for chinese Gulps*)
2. Went jamming in a studio found near bugis. You cannot believe how big the amps are, breathtaking...Really wanna go back there to try it out again. My gibson rocked!!!!

3. My taiwan friend came to stay in my humble abode for 2 weeks. Very fun i have to admit. He was a very talented guitarist and drummer haha. Yes Benson, if you are reading this, please thank me :)

4. I went for the yoghurt product competition in singapore polytechnic. 19 schools participated. AND GUESS WHAT??? MY TEAM WON HAHAHA (only 500$ in prize though)... But we were in the newspaper - Lian He Zao bao (chinese newspaper). Yeah, so if you did see us, good haha.

Alright thats it, i need my rest now. I will update soon

Turnabout

2009-05-20T10:48:00.000-07:00

Hi Readers.
Long time, yes exams are over finally. Results are out. Language subjects were atrocious. This includes humanities and english (composition havent released). Very terrible, 2 passes in class if im not wrong for humanities. Guess what? I passed!! However, thats not something that i am going to celebrate over. Passing alone is not enough, i have to find someway to buck these languages subjects up.
Good news? Chemistry top in class!! Unexpected i have to admit. Though another guy in my class would have gotten it as he was sort of a chemistry crazed fella. F&N let me down.. An A1 but not the best. Have to work harder for this too. Anyway this was just a short post from me. Still feel rather nostalgic for some reason.

Ok.. random stuff.. i wonder if im claustrophobic? I cannot stand being in cramped places. Really getting late. Everyone who have read this, please do tag, Much appreciated

Just a shoulder

2009-04-27T09:49:00.000-07:00

Hey readers, just a short post from me...
I just feel thoroughly worn out because of the F&N practical exam preparations.
Seriously, i am starting to feel that.. this 24/70 marks i really not worth all this effort from me. Now, i sincerely apologise to my mother for all the trouble she has been through just to help me to score well for this.

In the situation i am feeling at this exact moment, i just feel really worn out. So much work.. Still have a bloody menu card to create.. These times, people just need a shoulder to lie on, just for a few moments, to help them recover and stand up again.

However, some people just do not have this luxury. They stand up on their own and tell themself to just keep pushing for their ultimate goal. To anyone who feels that you are under this category, please just continue to work hard, for your own sake. Have faith

PS: Kinda corny but... Take it seriously

Put your soul into it, Focus

2009-04-24T09:03:00.001-07:00

Yes.. Hi readers.
This will be a comparatively short post.
Today was fine. Saw the first group of F&n Students doing their practical exam. Anyway, just noticed, sometimes, we reckon everything is possible.
Yes. However, this is only true to a certain extend. This "nothing is impossible" phrase is more or less merely a moltivational tool. When we succeed, it is due to several reasons. It is not simply by telling yourself, "I can do it, Yes i can!!"
Heres an example, studies. You do well in your exams. Is it because of this small encouragement? Of course not. People may differ from what i say, or rebut my statement. Ok, yes it does help.

BUT the first requisite is ESSENTIAL. What is it you ask?? Isn't it fairly obvious?
Hard work, time and determination.
This second compliment which are words of encouragement comes next of course but comparing the importance, isn't it true to say- Without hard work, time and determination. All these encouragement will all seem rather superfluous except being a slight consolation towards a person?

Focus is the key point. A person who decides to do something, stick to it.
Never try learning how to both fly and swim are same time.
For an example, my friend B.Choy had the idea of learning piano and/or drums while we were still at our Electric guitar course. Frankly speaking, i was a tad dumbfounded, but nevertheless it doesn't hurt to be a little ambitious. Morever, we are having our O lvls Examinations now. Thereafter he heeded my advice, good for him, O lvls comes first for now i am afraid.

Does success comes without hard work, time and determination? Nope, i guess not

2009-04-17T09:27:00.001-07:00

Hello reAders,
It has been a week since i blogged.
Well many interesting things happened. Lets start with me doing badly for both math tests... Just have to work harder. Another intriguing thing is my chinese language teacher fell outside my classroom just as she was about to leave.
Guess what- My class laughed big time. To be frank, i felt kinda bad sorry instead of amused.
Imagine, a teacher who is trying her best to do whats good for her students. Her reward? mockery from her students.

Kinda sad.
Yet, this is not for me to judge alone.

F&N Practical is getting closer by the minute. It is imminent that i will eventually have to take the exam. Hope that i will be mentally prepared by by then.

Today was a fun day though, had my last badminton training, and usual guitar lessons with my SG. A short weekend ahead of us, enjoy and make use of this weekend everyone~

Hi Readers,

Yes as my title has implied, i got my sg heres a picture of it.

Gerrys thoughts

2009-04-08T04:36:00.001-07:00

Hi reAders.
"You do not need skill, just skin" as quoted by gerry (he meant getting Ahem* in school now)
But isn't this true? All a dude needs is some balls. Gerry already understood this logic and turned it to his advantage* Haha
I have my own Analogy as well. Getting Ahem* is like catching a fish with a fishing rod. When you start in pond, all you need is the guts to jerk the rod back, reel in your hoard and always be ready to accept failure as we may not always catch something. However, As we all progress, catching fishes become more and more complicated. Fishes grow smarter, stronger much more ravishing in the lake* as compared to the pond. Hence, more factors such as bait, quality of the rod and skill will be taken into consideration. This analogy may be simple, but it is very true and real in this world. Thats the way it works (well most of the time)
Anyway today was a bad a sad day for me. Every darn period was like utter rubbish and a waste of time. Math and physics, our teacher gave us shit. Social studies, Chemistry and english was fine, except that i felt unusually tired.

Ah well, i will be getting my SG very very very soon. Just a day or two.. maybe three

Just a thought

2009-04-05T09:16:00.000-07:00

Hello readers,

Once again, i am burning hell a lot of midnight oil. Such a starry night, yet, i was not even granted the right to have a good night's rest. Just a thought, Sometimes when i see other peoples blog, i tend to feel all weird and awkward. Some people have steads (A luxury which i do not have LOL). They will use their blog to "dedicate" posts to their partners. How many times you ask?? well let me see.. LIKE ALMOST EVERY DAMN POST!!!

When i read it, i feel its getting really really corny, mushy and cliched. Yes, you love your stead very much, woohoo good for you, you want the world to know about your unwavering sincerity.. Well, hate to break it to you, a blog is meant for the public (unless you only invite some people) Not just for your stead. And doesnt it get really overdone after so many repetive posts on their "sincerity"? But isn't it true? If you doubt me, check out some of my links to my other friends. At least 2-3 will be exactly how i described.

Sincerity comes from the heart, from one's hidden actions for the person you wish to express it towards. It does not involve impulsive decisions, exaggerating comments, or even excessive "dedications" for the person.. Or at least, thats how i feel. ~

Ok, I guess i said my piece, what next?.. F&N again. Time to work

Day after day

2009-04-04T08:04:00.001-07:00

Hi readers,
Yeah, back. Still busy rushing F&N R&D. What a pitiful predicament that i am in. Hope that i can get over this shit once and for all ASAP.
Anyway i learnt how to play living on a prayer by Bon Jovi yesterday...Cept for the guitar solo. Never mind, trying to learn on my own now.

Anyway, now, theres a bit of misunderstanding between two of my friends
Hope that they can resolve any problems they have and patch up ASAP

Fun weekend

2009-03-30T07:35:00.000-07:00

Hi reAders~
Yes time to write.. again
Time passes really fast. The workshitty shop has ended, the fun weekend has ended, and now F&N coursework is haunting relentlessly me once again.
Well, lets evaluate the "success" of the superteen workshop that i just went through. Well, it was a rather interesting and fruitful at the same time. They made exaggerated and a little crude jokes which was mostly the fun part of the session. However, the important point of this entire talk would be how they discussed on the behaviour of different teenagers and how we could improve on our results- And aim for 7 A1s. A good moltivational talk i have to admit,
.... Except for the part where they started to make people weep here and there, and also made people feel "sad" and "sorry" for the "sins" they have done.
JUST FOR THE RECORD, I did not cry. Thost words and actions they used sent me thinking on some of the things i have done wrong in my life. BUT it did not send me weeping for no good reason. Some obtuse people may call it "no compassion", skeptics may say that i am lying. But that is the exact, whole and absolute truth.

Overdoing this activity really pissed me at the start. I mean SERIOUSLY -.-" Just make them reflect on themselves.
I dont see the need in making people sob like theres no tomorrow as if some mutating monkey alien abomination race is about to wipe out the entire earth for good.
Nope, never saw the sense in overdoing that.

And i was told that the closing ceremony (WHICH I DID NOT ATTEND AS I WAS ROCKING IN MY GUITAR LESSON) made people (parents and students alike) cry and hug each other, thanking each other for their contributions...erm... and their existence... -.-"..
My own mother, said this personally to me "lucky, i did not attend." Well i guess thats that.

Anyway, i watched detroit metal city on sat, the day after the last session of the workshop. Watched it with 2 bryans, kester, gerry, Bao Sheng, Phui Qi. It was really enjoyable though there were vulgarities here and there. This kinda made me draw towards death metal music ( which is really not a good sign, seriously). Anyway, it was a good movie.
Till next time

Birthday soon

2009-03-23T08:25:00.001-07:00

Free time again, so blogging as usual. Well , i had my birthday party yesterday, it was fun and meaningful~ Although there were two gatecrashers coming in but nevertheless, they were still nice and things went well. The whole bunch of them (eg. gerry, bryan, junda, arun, Bing Rong) were playing "cheat" together, including myself.
Ok at this point in time, if u think we were CHEATING, please knock ur head on the ground.
Cheat is a card game which involves skills, mind power and determination.. And a bit of luck too.
However, all these values were tantamount to rubbish as they were all shouting out their card values and gloating at other people, defeating the purpose of the game- Deception. Either way, we played the wii for a while before going down to have a little hide and seek.
Yeah, call me childish, its cool.
Comedy ensued, i got picked as the catcher and so did isaac. Dint take more than 10 minutes to catch all those little monkies. Anyway we went up after that. Isaac showed me a few acoustic guitar techniques. Hmm.. I still prefer electric though, much cooler to me :D. Anyway, my birthday is on wednesday, the day when the stupid super-teens workshitty shop starts.
I guess i have to spend my birthday at some austere polytechnic listening to a few clowns with their annoying speeches.

Ok first off, just want to express my happiness to some friends who found..erm.. "steads". Hope that they will be happy, just hope they do not neglect their O Lvls exam.
Well today i had guitar lessons again. It was rather.. boring for once. The dude only went through all musical rudiments we needed to know (bean sprouts). Now i think i can perform half of "smoke on the water" guitar solo, really pleased.
Another short thing to mention is, sunday is my birthday party, dont really know who to invite, or whether they can even make it. Anyway, i will think of interesting activities on that day. I heard that my mum is baking an oreo cheesecake, hope it rocks.

Should i include some emotional and nostalgic comments of my current life?
Nah, i think we can skip that for one day :) ~

It is always lonely doing things alone. Playing alone, walking alone, travelling alone, eating alone, or even studying alone. Thats the predicament i am currently in. Oh well, guess thats what it means to have "holidays" during the O lvls year- Loads of homework and endless solitude.

By far, i have seen many peers of mine enjoying themselves (good for them).
Getting restless staring at the computer screen trying to think of what crap to input into my Research and development for F&N and my current post.

Anyway just to share, i went with the 2 bryans to brasbasah to take a look at the guitar shops a few days ago. The store was enormous, every corner of it sold something concerning the guitar. Awe-inspiring to me haha. All the cheaper ones (range about 800 to 1000$) were displayed near the counter. I was wondering, wouldnt they be afraid that someone might accidentally drop it if they just simply hanged the guitar? Well true enough, i saw a sign which said distinctively "if dropped, considered sold."
Then bryan had to drop a dumb comment, "hey ask your dad to follow you, and drop the guitar you want the most lightly on the ground IN FRONT OF THE SHOPKEEPER, I am very sure it will be yours in about 1 minute." That made me laugh for quite a while :)
Anyway we ventured deeper in and realised they had 2 small rooms with glass walls so that customers can see from outside. Inside the two rooms were the two brands which i have longed wanted- Gibson, fender.
The next thing i saw pissed me- Gibson SG standard 5.2k.. -.-"...
Well, i guess the only way to get that is by doing well, then i can be "sponsered" of the money.
Ok no more time to waste, enjoy the upcoming weekends everyone.

Holidays

2009-03-13T09:18:00.000-07:00

Time to blog again.
As planned, everyone have to collect their much dreaded report book. So.. How did i fair, lets analyse it shall we?
English- Total rubbish. E8. Seriously, this is absurd. I have never failed this subject in my life. This is the first time i failed this. Obviously, there is a flaw in the system which they use to get our overall mark for english. I am positive every1 in class except for lucky lucky daniel failed (daniel just passed). I will find a way to get a B3 for my Olvls, thats is crucial.
Once again i stress- Total Rubbish

Chinese- Another piece of crap, D7. Frankly speaking, i have screwed m both languages very badly. My chinese is already as bad as crap but this is seriously the first time i am failing it in the overall mark. I have to find a way to bark up and at least get a B. Thats my Aim for this.

Mathematics- Very very satisfying, A1. I did pretty well for this round. Hmm, yes beat quite a number a people. Simple fixed straightfoward subject. Just have to continue practicing to succeed in the OLvls. Aim? obvious- A1!

Additional Mathematics- A free luxury, A1. Yes yes. With A mathematics, mathematics will be even easier than crushing peanuts (ok maybe i am exaggerating..). But i find both mathematics very straightfoward. All anyone needs is two vital things- Concept, and a hell lot of drilling. A1 for Olvls definitely.

Science- Sniggers**.. A1. A subject which i take quite an interest in is science. Another subject which require the concept to be solid in order for a person to score. Physics used to be a problem for me, but i have long overcomed that minor problem. Just have to keep this up. Olvls? A1

Combined Humanities (Social studies, Geography)- Extremely psyched whenever i talk about it, A1, 81 marks topped the level. This requires more memory work and a understanding of the facts presented. This subject is definitely not for people who are Lackadaisical to reading. I will try my best to get an A1 for my Olvls though.

Food and Nutrition. Alas... my favourite subject, A1. Didnt top it because a stupid essay assignment which i slacked and Terry snatched the top position.. Sad. Very interesting subject which involves practical coursework. Aiming for a good A1.

L1R5 aggregrate: 14 (kinda rubbish for me, not good enough to go to ACJC..)
Although this is just a PPR, yet, i feel it is of utmost importance for a person to gauge where he stands. This results do not show how good a person have done actually. In my opinion, rather, it shows how much a person have understood for the topic.
Hence, i strongly believe it is important for my everyone who is reading this and is taking OLvls exam this year to work harder. It may be rather late already, but there is still time.
Have faith

2009-02-25T08:03:00.000-08:00

Yes, its me. Nope, not a mirage.
Been really unbelievably busy. F&N coursework is seriously life-draining, all the work- unbelievable.
I am sure that everyone would have unhappiness and regrets along this tedious journey of life -I am no exception of course.
I usually wonder wonder wonder, why am i born in singapore? Why am i born in a meritocracy country whereby merit is tantamount to crediblity and "talent". I am born in a family which demands near-perfect academic results from me. Half of this family of people all have a dogmatic mindset that only with academic results only then you will excel,
Or else?
Failure, duh
Failure?= Garbage cleaner, sweeper.. etc
All these are ACTUALLY true to a certain extend, yet there are other points which have been overlooked. Are these academic results the only virtue or "substance" in a person's worth? Arent other talents, skills or abilities people have useful or worthy to be proud of? It all depends on how a person feels. Yet, it is completely delusional for anyone to simply assume that only academic results will bring a person somewhere in life.

F&N coursework awaits.

School times

2009-01-18T07:53:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone,
Ok heres the deal, now Qtss has many changes in many areas. The School itself is being changed, prinicipals, teachers etc.. But somethings will always stay the same. For example, the fact that secondary school is a dumb idea which mixes people like me who is undergoing delayed growth with Overgrown gorillas who needs to shave twice a week(and i mean shave everywhere*). Teachers still wonder why bullying is still a problem, how ironic. These people start pushing you around thinking for a fact that runts will get really intimidated, ignorant to the fact that people just like ME are simply think that those are a bunch of hopeless imbeciles with a terrible IQ level.
Ok jokes aside, one who has been through some shit i have will really see a difference between a high class mafia and a contemptible mofo gangster wannabe in my school.
Difference? Simple
Mafia?- Reasonable and logical. Earn much more money. Uses action instead of words to show what he means.
Mofos?- Fat imbeciles, Capricious and delusional. Earn nothing, future ruined in school. Uses words to intimidate others rather than to do something to resolve the problem.
Anyway this is just my personel hypothesis, No obligations to take this seriously.

Guitar lessons are great, i have learnt many new stuff, new tricks. Only 2 months and i have improved a lot ( yay! ). Math lessons? well so-so.. So much homework and such "reasonable" deadlines, how diplomatic...
Ok this was a really short post, cant write much as it is rather late, so i guess i have to make more observations before i can post.

Hi Everyone,

Have been slacking off for very long. Now finally, i can sit down and write in peace. So i have been doing a lot of shit these past few mundane days. Most of the days are spent on doing repetitive activities eg. Dota, Wii, Electric Guitar. Well, i have something important to share with everyone, so listen up and stop your activities and listen up.

Ok heres the thing, today my dad went to get a new SIM card for my maid. Then he decided to go to the stall in the Holland Village Market. It was a miniature store which sold cheap obselete Second hand phone models and some SIM cards. Then when my father asked for a simple measly small reciept, that bub gave some bullshit excuse about not giving a reciept.

Well that spurred my fathers temper a bit. He believes in keeping this "measly" reciepts as he can use it refund or use it for other funny reasons. Then he got pissed and decided to walk off. He passed a simple comment to my sister who followed him- Stupid idiot. The guy happened to hear this and what seemed like world war 3 started. The guy started hurling horrible and superfluous abuses at my dad.

Well.. Guess I should just move on to something else instead of continuously criticising this sultry idiot.

Is it me? or does time fly like some kind undiscovered bird species? 2 Months ALMOST over, yet i simply wished time would just hover in mid air for a little longer to let me have more time with other activities.

Good times, the past few weeks. Got to have a memorable stayover in Gerry's house. Cycled in the night enjoying the gentle breeze touch our bare skin. Cycled for roughly about 2-3 hours before returning back to his humble home and started watching inane and humorous movies online. Got to go ice skating wearing quaint and bulky skates.

Guitar hero world tour also rocked my world for a few days. Simply amazing, the music and the gameplay! The guitar lessons i had were plain awesome. Ok, now i have nothing left to write..

Oh yeah, had dinner with Gerry again and we had a rather "momentous" disussion on many "important" issues, how productive right?? Ok, enjoy the remaining holiday while it lasts!!

Ps: Writing is hard for now, Please mind my terrible writing :)

Oh yeah!! i won good progress award for academic results, This made up for the loss of F&N top prize!!~~

Long time since i last posted on this blog. Oh well, having so much activities is really taking a toll on me. Ok lets recall all the stuff i have done so far. Well, watching High school musical 3 with JQ. Pretty much wasted my time watching that movie. I mean, C'mon.. Seriously, i observed some of the teenagers watching it. Most of them had a rather lackadaisical approach towards the movie. Only the young kids were enthusiastic towards this crap. If any teenager who likes movies with more plot in it, then i got 3 words- DO NOT WATCH.
Besides that, i had badminton practice.. Well, anyone with the slightest cowsense can tell that i have drastically deproved and all my strength has wavered. However, i still love this sport and i believe, in time, i will be able to bounce back. I guess some interest in people are the things that really drive them to excel.
Well, a good example might be.. hmm maybe Terry? A dude who is really in to chemistry. Yes chemistry is interesting to me, but i think to Terry, its like "Warcraft". I even suspect he keeps a whole stash of chemistry Paraphernalia.
Well, i also learnt a new "term" from Nicole and Louise. A simple word- Bimbo.
Ok i checked it up and it is often used to to describe an often attractive, yet unintelligent woman. Well, this rather.. erm interesting?? Ok.. moving on.
I have longed for this to happen.. Well, my guitar course is finally starting, this friday!! Though i can play a few chords on the electric guitar, i still look foward to the first lesson. This urge for me to learn and excel in the electric guitar is truly incessant. This kind of situation really gives a person endless euphoria.
Well, i don't have much to write this time, not many topics to discuss.. As the holiday approaches, it would be harder for me to perceive different issues from school life. Last time there were many such as bullies, studying, relationships etc.. I guess i have to think of other congenial topics or subjects to write in my blog in the future.
Last thing i have to say is, i finally got the new One piece: Unlimited Cruise game for my wii. Have been waiting for this japanese-only game for some time. I had mine custom Imported though as it was only available in Japan. The game is a Synthesis of Action and puzzle and is really starting to make me addicted.
Ps: Still missing all my friends from Chennai. Good thing god granted this world one very important thing- Technology!!

Belated birthday i guess?

2008-10-28T06:04:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,
Well well, once again.. I am beginning to have a tendency to slack and not blog. Cannot allow that to continue. Today is the start of the extra curriculum in school, i have to admit it was rather mundane.. Oh well, theres always a cost for the greater good. Anyway i saw all my friends again in school and shared with them all the fun times i had in Chennai with all my Indian friends. They were really nice and i still miss them so very much. Anyway, nows not the time to start getting emotional and start reminiscing about the past.
I Totally forgot that I missed Daniel and Ren siang's birthday. I even forgot to get them a gift (Oh!! i feel like a real dousheBag now).
Anyway this post is dedicated to both of them- DAniel and Ren Siang,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!~
Daniel, a good friend. Vivacious in almost every aspect. Only a tad irritating when he starts his usual gimmicks but nevertheless, a good friend to treasure. Wanted an Indian wife from Chennai. =.= But i would not have allowed that haha

Ren Siang, an intelligent person. Good friend yes.. mention about him before.. Cannot think of anything new to say except i know hes a good friend and i will treasure him.

Anyway. I realised something as well. In India, the children there start school earlier and have comparatively tougher topics compared with us. This is tantamount to saying they would have a distinct advantage over singaporeans in the near future. To think some students in singapore complain of stress from 7 subjects... Heck, the students in india take 12 whole subjects.. Most especially the humanes are PURE. The irony of this simple situation is really amuses me a lot. I guess as local singaporeans, we have much to learn from these students who have gone through more stress than us. I take my hat off these people

Ps:I happen to learnt of a meaningful saying by someone:
What you think of yourself- Body.
What others think of you- Mind.
What you really are- Divine

Hello everyone,
Well well, Guess what? right now, i am in India- Chennai. This is incredible, i am actually sitting in the luxurious comfort inn hotel's E-cafe. Seriously, now i feel silly, all the teachers and students are probably preparing to sleep while me and little Terry beside me decided to bail on jedidiah and leave him in the cold and lonely room 411.
Today is the 3rd day in Chennai. So far, we visited so many damn temples in India. No offence, but all this mundane historical infrastructure does not interest me much whatsoever (LOL)!! However we visited the Lady Andal school. A premier school located in Chennai. Well, all the students were so darn friendly.. Whenever i entered any class, everyone would crowd around and start talking and asking about our lives with enthusiasm. The aura admitted by these indian students are pristine. I can perceive that none of them are really jerks putting on a facade of kindness. They really make me feel very touched and warm. Well, there were actually a number of "chio bu's" a.k.a good looking girls. Bryan made a bet with me that there were no good looking girls there, (in your face!!). Wow they were really very funny (both the guys and girls).
We later went to the "elusive" heymath math trail. It was really tiring and we needed to be very meticulous when it came to measuring and calculating for the answers. We got caught in a sudden and unforseen rain and got slightly drenched =.= Oh well, Getting wet and sordid is part and parcel of an immersion programme i guess?? haha.. See you all next time.

Depression

2008-10-13T04:13:00.001-07:00

Hello world..
Well, today is certainly a sad day for me. Not that my results are bad. They were beyond my expectations. Very satifying, I felt rapturous for the first 5 hours during school.
What next, Oh yeah shit, thx a lot my maker, had to spoil my mood and screw up my day. F&N Exam. Highest in class wooohoo!! Overall, 2nd position. Lost to THAT terry 1 mark. 80-81
Oh yeah anyone who thinks this is a innocuous joke, please stop reading from this point onwards. I am terribly terribly disappointed and pissed at both myself and another person. I aint going to say that persons name. Got me into shit and jeopardised my results by a significant bit. My guard was let down, and sneaky little Terry snatched the opportunity to score.
Well 150$ and 20 seconds of glory awaits him during next year's speech and prize-giving ceremony.
Me? At least another month of redundant depression and self-pity. How ironic isn't it?
2nd.. Many people would say HOLY SHIT!! YOUR ONE OF THE PEOPLE IN 3C WHO SCORED AN A1!! YOU RULE DUDE!!!
Yeah, 80 is good, but not up to my expectations- Highest in standard, getting that 20 seconds of glory, getting 150$ and making my self proud and satisfied. Why is that the heavens of this world have to insidiously snatch my one-time pitiful dreams away like this and mortify me by making the difference by 1 mark.
I guess no one cares, i guess this chance will never come to me again..
Not in secondary school for my life..
Depression and Solitude awaits quietly..
in the cold depths of Oblivion..
For the young and pitiful soul of mine..

New day, New stuff

2008-10-11T07:17:00.001-07:00

Hello Everyone!!

Yes today was a memorable day for me wahaha.. See the picture above.. That is an authentic electric guitar from yamaha. Me and my fellow slacker bryan have decided to learn how to play the guitar. Haha, one of my wishes have finally come true.

Well, being a ardent fan of this elusive musical instrument, i really look foward to the first lesson in november =D. Besides this, it is imminent that i will be buying the upcoming and highly anticipated Guitar Hero World Tour. Yeah call me nuts but i love the game guitar hero. Incidently, this game also sparked the flame in me.

Anyway I have nothing much to write this time. I am feeling rather high now, after getting this guitar. I will not be going on anymore. Good luck to everyone for their exam results anyway, everyone's predicament will come eventually

Guess what?? Freedom Time

2008-10-07T06:04:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone,
Today is a special day.. The day where many students regain a little something important called FREEDOM. Yes!!! The last paper is finally over~~ The nightmare, the storm, the night.. Its all over XDXD Today was the unofficial last exam papers. I had Chemistry and Additional Mathematics. It went quite well i must say. I feel rather positive towards these two papers.
Chemistry should was fine. Managed to Finish the paper in time of course. My A-Maths, yes... My paper one was not really well done. But todays paper has cleared all my doubts. I did well (at least in my mind) for a-maths i think haha.
Actually, i still have an exam tomorrow- Listening Comprehension(Chinese). Well, technically, i don't really think anyone can prepare for this superfluous miniature exam. So.. That is tantamount to saying that today is the day where i can chuck all my books aside for a period of time and continue in the ancient and cryptic art of Slacking .
Anyway this EOY went rather smoothly and part of this credit should go to some of my friends who have studied with me and helped me quite a lot in some areas.
A/Maths-Bryan, Jiawei, Terry(a little)
Science-Terry
F&N-Bryan(A little), Mostly on my own
Geography-Eric, Terry, Jeremy (people who inspired me haha)
Social studies-Phui qi (inspired me to do better)
English- All by my own, reading vocab books, blogging with proper and good english.
Chinese-Grandfather(helped me a lot, i am grateful, really grateful)
Well thats it for this years exam, hope i can do better.
Next topic, well.. I have been thinking, In schools nowadays, there are really many many assholes who are the bane of one of my beliefs- That people in this world are filled with kindness and joy. They potray something insidious, something really mean. I have witnessed a lot of these kind of incidents in school. Some people bully people or they simply act as a big contemptible jerk for no damn reason. They are the callow people who ruin the fun and sense of security in school life for a handful of people. However i met people who are not like that. By observing their actions and body language, they really show that they are nice and friendly individuals to communicate with.
This kind of behaviour in school (being friendly) gives everyone who still believe in the fun and life in school, a renewed sense of camaraderie, hope and comfort.
This is a small tribute to people who have been pushed around by these kind of worthless jerks, these people who are the harbringer of hatred and violence.
I hope this kind of redundant misunderstandings will change and improve for the better. Ok... Crapped too much, have to go slack, or i will be wasting my freedom ~

Raining Luck

2008-09-30T07:10:00.001-07:00

Hello world,
Another post today, Even though its kind of late but nevertheless, I must update this blog regularly. This week was full of the dreaded examinations.. Disturbing to a mind of an average Slacking Teenager. Well, unfortunately, i happen to fall under this category (only to a small extend) due to influences from classical slackers such as the Fatuous Jia wei and Bryan.. These two really are "incorrigible" XD. But fortunately, There papers were rather easy (well at least for my case) and there were not much super tricky or complicated questions. Only the Social Studies Exam had a rather short span of 1 half hours. Well, honestly speaking, i was struggling through the last essay question (only had 15 minutes left!!). Compared to other people, i was actually kind of better off. Many people did not manage to complete this monumental task of finishing 4 Source based questions and 2 LONG essays questions.. ah.. Thats just too bad. Life goes on~~
Today was a day of slacking, a day of a carefree mind. This is probably because of the few days of "rest" provided. I stayed at home, played my wii, rock band, psp and some other naught that i cannot recall right now (LOL).
Well, this past week was sort of like raining luck. Heavy rain of luck all raining down on my head aggresively; As heavy as todays downpour. Got real lucky during exams.. Now i need take things to my advantage and ace my other examinations.
Ok, lets talk about something else, something lighter. Sometimes when i mention the two terms "nerd" and Geek". People have this putative mindset that they have the same meaning- Usually thinking it means a loser at school, or probably a person in school who only studies and does not interact with much students.
None of their guesses are correct. Very close, very warm answers, but still wrong.
A nerd is usually a term that often refers to a person who passionately pursues intellectual activities, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests that are age inappropriate rather than engaging in more social or popular activities. They would most likely become unpopular due to some misunderstandings due to some of the activities they engage in rather than sociallising with other people.
A geek is somewhat different. It often refers to individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, gaming, etc..
In my opinion, a nerd is somewhat better. Geek sounds like an obtuse moron which succumbed to something and got hook on to it, hence causing him to go into a state pof oblivion without even realising. Rather, a nerd is someone who have some special interest of his/her own and wishes to do so even if its "uncool". Well they earn my respect. I have suffered discrimination in my own class once and i know how it feels. Its heartwrenching. It may seem like a innocuous stage for a nerd, but it is actually the bane of a person happiness. Geek is something like they chose they path of getting addicted and only have themselves to blame.
Ok thats about it, Some thoughts which i have been pondering over the past two days. Time to go get some more inspiration... Or maybe i just go slack off first and start getting inspiration and revising for my examinations later :)
As a Chinese philosopher whose name i cannot recall once said,

A Journey Of A Thousand Miles Begins With One Single Step.

Well, till next time.. Ciao people

Outsmarting an Insidious Bitch

2008-09-27T05:48:00.000-07:00

hello world..
This is just a quick post on some incident i have discovered. I am not the type of person Who enjoys chastising on any bad things a person has done. I believe in karma and always believe in the phrase "what comes around goes around".
Does being a born singaporean means incessant singlish from every singaporeans? I beg to differ, A person lives to improve and change for the better.
I have tried and i am doing fine- or at least in my own eyes. Some people who cannot fathom this logic will eat sour grapes and criticise me or at least those who follow my pattern. These kind of assholes are have the personality of the "outstanding" sythesis of supercilious and virulent attitude.
True, everyone has badpoints, negative sides. Being anyone's friends, one has to learn to accept his or her bad points. Unless the person has uncountable bad points, then it would be wise to just segregate this person.
I am truly appalled by the behaviour of a person.
Putting up such a pathetic facade to cover up his true and dastardly low attributes. What a delusional fool. I have been putting up his redundant complaints for too long.
I believe in helping my friends who have true and complicated problems in life and advise them to do the correct thing, sometimes even to the extend of being a bit biase.
Putting up a facade, and hiding all his true feelings. This is usually a characteristics a of cynic or a person who cannot tolerate other peoples mistakes.
Something i want to say or state to these worthless contemptible humbugs. Do you think you are perfect? Do you think you can do as well as I? Do you think You Relinquished of imperfection? No.. No one is perfect and everyone has to embrace one anothers bad attributes and help the person change instead of being an obnoxious, obtuse son of a bitch and reprove the person.
How is are people going to befriend and trust these types of people in the end.
I have suffered from this kind of situations. I absolutely detest people who badmouth me and put up an innocent front when talking to me. These types of people should be condemned in hell for eternity.. (ok i exaggerated a tad)
I know that no matter what happens, karma will strike.
Passively...
Quietly...
Conciously...
Aware of this fact, i will not do anything. I am not at loss, i will not lose anything.
I am not threatened. I remain who i am while those people turn into something ugly and condemned before they even know it
I beseech to anyone* change before you are segregated

Preparation, Confidence, and finally Good Luck

2008-09-23T05:26:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone,

Got pretty "free" today, so decided to come on and post some stuff once again. Well, today is pretty much wasted, I spent my afternoon taking a nap till about 7.00 when my sister woke me up to play star wars lego with her (on wii). Didnt wanted to renege on the promise i made her, i reluctantly agreed. Anyway played until about 8.00 before i came online again.

First exam is on Friday. Effectively leaving me with roughly 2 more days of revision. Apprehension is all i feel... How can i condone myself to screwing up this exam by allowing my temptations of slacking overtake me? I have to really push in order to achieve what i desire.

Well, time for something light. I wish i could continue playing Rock Band. This is a music video game on the wii. I might post some pictures showing the instruments of the game after my exams perhaps.

There are countless of things i have not said or declared on this blog. Well, some things are just hard to come out from one's mouth. Such a monumental task at times, yet the rewards are minimal.

Well, there are many things i have not said on my blog, not that i am intending to say it anyway. Some things are just hard to come out from one's mouth due to certain psychological barriers. Some people might get what i mean.

Oh well, Just want to wish everyone good luck for their examinations.

Most important- Preparation

2nd- Confidence is another key to success

Finally Good luck from the gods and friends

Just another sub-content, Remember this is the main post. Enjoy

Kok weng- Well well, Pro volleyball player, good sportsmanship, Excellent english skills.. what can i say? another all rounder dude. Recently made friends with this lad this year. He tends to act very cold, aloof, quiet. But after talking to him quite a number of times, i have realised he is a very emotional person in many aspects of life. I reckon he can be one heck of a nice guy. Except for being a bit of a dragger in acrimonious conversations making him bit of pisser XDXD. But overall hes a nice guy and i respect him a lot. (kind of.. HAHA)

Enik- Ahh, one of the 8 girls in my class. I dont really know her much. But i can see that she is a very Outgoing and gregarious person. Hmm, Aloof at times, but i can perceive through her body language that she has a very fun personality. Hope to be able to communicate more with her.

Jonathon- Another friend i made this year. Yes, a cyrus buddy, psp buddy, and crap-talking buddy XD. Being friends with him makes me feel that someone understands why a person like me and Bryan has to be retarded and childish at times. Makes us feel carefree and happy. A pefect substitute for smoking marijuana (LOL). Hope to maintain a good relationship with him

Ok, finishes for now. REMEMBER, this is not the main post. The main post is the one before this, Please read it. Thats it for now people

Sitting, Thinking, Reminiscing

2008-09-21T08:28:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone,
Another post. Recently, i have became less active in my blog due to a lot of stress and apprehension towards the upcoming examinations. Oh well, Sometimes different events can affect the very course of our lives. Be it studies, gaming, crushes, teachers, friends etc.. Anything can happen and our choices are the ones that make the difference and changes.
Today was a day, of happiness, a day which gave me the unwavering moral to strive to excel in my subjects. Firstly my chinese test.. No one who knows me well will ever believe the marks i got. I decent and HONEST 82/100. No tricks, no cheats, no gimmicks.. nothing. All pristine hard work and perhaps a pinch of luck. Somehow Things are finally going my way. Couldnt have been a better timing- Examinations period. Chemistry test. Half the class failed apparently. Well i got a 21 1/2 /30. Not excellent, but acceptable in a sense though.
I can perceive the truth.. Success is nothing but a journey, a labyrinth, a Test of a person's will, A Legacy... Only the person can help him/herself. Luck, gimmicks, Tricks can only get him ( ) this far unfortunately.
Things might not go as smoothly as one might tend to foolishy assume it be.. no, the roads to certain success are perlious, hazardous. This ultimately tests how scrupulous a person can get. Things might not go well, but things do change. A person's cloud nine will come at the end.
Examination periods are nothing but frenetic activities which can cause a person to turn into something ugly at some point in time. But things are changing. I felt this way a week ago, but now, there is some form of miraculous metamorphosis in the way my mind works. I believe that i can do something for myself this time once again and ace most of my examinations.

Can You hear it?..Can you feel it?..
The innocuous gale.. the inevitable breeze, the appeasing zehpyr..
The winds of change have come, and i have been swept away by the changes it has given me.

Reneging on a promise

2008-09-19T10:05:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,
After quite a long time, i can finally sit down and start posting again. Today had been a rather exhilarating day for me. I had my much contempted english and mother tongue chinese examinations. I felt apprehensive towards both examinations at first, but started gaining unwavering confidence when i picked up the momentum. Now i can say with absolute faith that i can do much better in thi english composition exam and i also can pass my chinese composition. I also had a sudoku competition, hosted by mediacorp. Unfortunately, i made slight, little and deadly mistakes which in my opinion, can cause me to lose. My ultimate aim of this competition is to be able to get top 10 as these are the people who will be allowed to compete with other schools. Now, having a demoralised heart, i think i have a slim chance of winning(sighs*) ahh.. well life goes on..
Somehow, another very interesting and important topic has once again come into my mind. All my life, i have been told of countless of secrets. These could be elusive secrets, or they could simply be trivial secrets. Nevertheless, the reason they are called secrets is because they are NOT meant to be blabbered around to the world by some obnoxious and contemptible hypocrite.
Many people who have their own secrets, would usually confide them to someone close and trustworthy. When define trustworthy, i mean 100% pristine, no-frills, no gimmicks etc. type of trustworthy. Reneging on a promise may seem like a natural occurence for many people.. but that does not apply for me. I am a person who carefully contemplate every individual around me inwardly. Percieving the true pristine nature of a person is crucial and instrumental to judge them. After i sincerely believe that a person is worthy of my trust, then i would start confiding many undeniably shocking things which i have yet to share with anyone. Bryan has exemplified a trustworthy and steadfast friend his trust is unwavering.
Reneging against a promise made is a contemptible deed which i absolutely despise. This is a little something which is the bane of my trust and respect.
I hope by writing these little points, i can preclude any unforseen and jeopardising things from happening. Time to get some sleep, or i will turn into a freaking panda.

Happy birthday my friend

2008-09-16T07:24:00.001-07:00

Hi world,
Today was a fairly fun day for me. I went to receive my salmon cooking competition prize. It went rather smoothly to my surprise.. Well, then later we had a short sudoku competition/training. According to the teacher, the top ten fastest and most accurate students would receive a prize. People who were more sentient and sharp could complete the puzzle with exceptional ease.
Another quick thing worth mentioning is that today is my good friend guan rong's birthday. He is a very friendly person who often stir up a sense of camaraderie among all his fellow peers. He works cohesively with his friends and is a magnanimous person is many ways uncountable. He exemplified a wonderful friend, and is loved by almost everyone. I will not condone any bad things to happen towards him no matter what.
Tomorrow i will be getting another prize. I am already starting to feel apprehensive towards this situation, i hope that all would go well.
Once again, happy birthday guan rong!! I sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, wish you a wonderful and memorable birthday with everlasting happiness

The Square Root of Three

2008-09-15T06:44:00.000-07:00

I’m sure that I will always be

A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,

Why must my three keep out of sight

Beneath the vicious square root sign,

I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,

with just some quick arithmetic
I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321

Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,

Another square root of a three
As quietly co-waltzing by,

Together now we multiply

To form a number we prefer,

Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds

With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued

Your love for me has been renewed

Hello world~

Another post by me after i managed to save some time from my busy schedule. I had a rather quiet weekend, been doing some work and playing dota for like 2 hours a day.. makes any coghizant individual restless and torpor. However, i still had quite a fair bit of fun yesterday as it happened to be my beloved cousin's birthday. Me And TW locked ourselves up in my JQ's room and dota'ed to our hearts content XD. In a swift blink of an eye, its sunday night.. and i am listlessly sitting in front of my HP laptop posting something on my blog. Soon in about 12 hours or more, it will be time for my Mother tongue oral examinations.. Even if my chinese is bad, i will not relinquish my faith and would try my best to ace it.
Now, as the examinations draw close, so as certain people's dooms. Many people live their school life with a carefree mindset, hence their studying time is reduced and their awareness of how important O lvls are, are slackened to a significant amount. When i rebuke some people for not studying hard, they tend to become extremely apprehensive and recant anything i said. Next they will start treating me like a contemptible humbug just because i introduced to them a little something known as- REALITY. Unfortunately for singaporeans, we live in a much detested meritocracy society which only recgonises merit and contributions made for both ourselves and the country. This is fairly different system from america, germany etc. Let me provide everyone with an analogy. In germany, the sum of money made by a painter and the salary made by a lawyer may not have a lot of different. However, in singapore, there is a HUGE difference in the salary of a painter and a Lawyer. This is an onerous thought to many people but this is reality.
So as students, what differentiates a outstanding student, or a mediocre student? I presume that the answer is fairly obvious.
As i stare out at the Dark vapid sky and the bright starry stars, i keep thinking if i of all these important topics which can determine the course of a person's life. Well time to go study, Hope any friends of mine get the message i have put across
Your one and only,

SUB-CONTENT 3 (Teachers edition) /(Read at own risk)

2008-09-10T05:34:00.000-07:00

Mr sairi- My first form teacher since i entered secondary school. I feel that he is actually a wonderful teacher and a person can actually talk to him without feeling any tension. His words are very encouraging, except being a tad ostensible at times. But never, ever mess with this guy, A simple conversation can turn acrimonious if a person says the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Mrs gan- My Physics and form teacher of my secondary 3 and to-be secondary 4 class. She is cold and would seem obtuse to many people. However, after observing her for quite some time, i can conclude that she is actually very caring about my class and how we might fare for the upcoming final year examinations. She actually took the initiative to find out any methods of improving her relationship with my class so that she can communicate better. However, some people still find her exacting and continued to have their childish mindset about her. As mentioned in my main posts, a person should analyse their own mistakes and change for the better. I hope things would improve for the better for my beloved form teacher and my class.

Ms Jaya- A new teacher which started teaching my class mathematics since mid-year and is actually a teacher who shows concern about her students grades. Some teachers are just teaching to teach, not to really help the students improve. She also portrayed a rather fun and humorous character at times and really helped me in many areas of my mathematics.

Ms Ho- Ok.. Amaths teacher. She is somehow the most attractive teacher i have period. However, in my sincere and honest opinion, she does not really teach as well as the other teachers. This could be due to the fact that she is young, or perhaps inexperienced. She made many desultory attempts to make her lesson interesting, but the only thing that seems interesting to me is the way she teases some boys who tries to be cheeky with her (LOL). Another bad thing about her is that she always uses punishment on pupils which are harsh and not constructive. I hope there would be some changes which can change my temporary opinion on her.
Other teachers i will analyse their teaching styles and write another day,
Special thoughts on some close friends-

Ren Siang- A friend, dota buddy and a chat mate. After much thought, it is apparent that he is a person who can discern many things easily due to his keen senses. Another, without doubt, a steadfast friend who can be relied on in many situations. The only minor and humourous setback about him is er.... language i think (LOLOL). He tends to utter many many many.. uncountable.. never ending.. err vulgarities. However, the abuses he hurls are actually quite amusing in a sense and it can indirectly reprove a person. He may appear to be rather rough and have an unfathomable face, but after talking to him from time to time, i have realised, he is a very sensitive and understanding person towards many topics. (esp GIRLS XD). I hope he would stay as my friend, dota buddy and a person to confide my problems to.

Lionel(sec2 dude)- Badminton friend, and another buddy who is steadfast. Very understanding and caring towards his buddies. However, he has a slight tendency to push his luck to a certain limit where he kind of pisses me off XD. He is a strong competitor in the badminton court, and a remarkable friend in school. Walking home and sharing anything with him makes me feel serene and tranquil. Never want to lose a friend like this.

Jackson- Another friend of mine since secondary one. Jackson is a guy who is willing to share many things with his other pals. Unselfish and caring, i have learnt to bond with him and know how to cooperate with him. Minor setback once again, quite a revengeful person. In contrary to me, he believes in an eye for an eye, punch for a punch. This revengful side of him is something which i seldomly exchange paths with as it kinda scares me a tad. I believe, in my heart that this can also be changed as jackson is a strong-minded person. Friendship with him lasted even though we are in different classes

Main topic once again is the one before this, please read it before leaving and TAG~

Creativity, plagiarism, Copycats

2008-09-10T05:02:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,
Another post after a long..zz..long time. Many significant events happen since my previous blog. For an example, a friendly match of badminton with united world college of South east Asia. Lost, but not thrashed. Not being a sore individual, i was gracious with defeat and learnt from that fruitful experience. However, i have to admit going up against 2 over-age preeminent juggernauts was not an easy task- Considering one of them was the badminton player of the year!! Nevertheless, i managed to play the match with equanimity and get a score of 18-21 during the final match.
Another event worth mentioning was today's oral examination. No one is ever impervious to the pressure of examination, everyone will feel a certain amount of stress no matter how strong-willed he or she is. I knew that my turn to take the exam was imminent and prayed hard before entering facing the teacher.. Much to my surprise, i felt i did quite well. It was not impeccable, but it was pretty well done. All i did was to relentlessly speak and answer whatever question the teacher threw at me. It was good overall.
Ok general topics. In everywhere i go, there are always a few people, the minority who have a tendency to imitate, copy, steal whichever term you prefer. As stated by My F&N teacher, A person should try to be creative and use their own style as he/she will never know when that might be an excellent piece of work. As ACS/JC say, the best is yet to be. To a rather large extend, i agree to this remarkable statement. When a people copy anything such as stories, styles or even talking accents, it becomes quite redundant and irritating.
Many people are sensitive to people copying directly from them. I am one simple example. I would develop a choleric mood whenever some copy something from me, and even directly at certain times. Then people would start trying to "debate" their way out of responsibilty at certain times. This sort of arguement would most likely turn acrimonious and spiteful. A person can cheat anyone in the world, but he/she can never cheat god or him/herself. Thats something which is FIXED.
Some people already realise their mistakes but still retaliate and hold a rebuttal.
The simple thing that amuses and disturbs me in an utterly degrading manner is, the person is actually, without knowing, Potraying his/her shallowest attributes and make him/herself paltry.
As some ancient dude which i do now know( LOL) used to say, knowing a problem is halfway to solving it. But does knowing the fact be a panacea for the problem? Not really, in fact not at all. If the person is somehow incorrigible, the problem remains. This does not just refer to what i write, it also refers to many things people do. Make a mistake and continue with that parody of bullshit? Or change for the better, and show everybody that he/she is a good person and worth befriending and remembering.
PS: Anything i said does not imply to anything whatsoever, this is just to post my thoughts. Tag before leaving once again~

SUB-CONTENT 2 (read at your own risk)

2008-09-02T02:19:00.000-07:00

Another round of sub-content. This time at the request of some people, i shall write how i feel about them. Some others who i write are just simply random.
Jia wei- My good pal in school. Personally, i feel that i am quite close to him just like Bryan, i hope he feels the same way~ Hes a nice person with the exception of being a bit of a pisser at times!!! (LOL) He often does not feel any urgency and can stay "cool" which is good at handling pressure. I hope he would change a bit in terms of feeling urgency towards exams. Last but not least, he is a cheeenaaa dude who is very forgiving at many things. Hope to maintain this friendship with him

Gerry- Ahhh finally.. something exciting.) Gerry has been my good pal since primary school and we managed to stay as close buddies for almost 8 years~ He is errrr kinda flirt im afraid, in the sense he likes to mix around with girls (especially hot 1s LOL). He also has a rather sneaky streak inside him which tends to make him a tad dangerous at times. But he is steadfast towards his friends and can be relied on any types of situations. A good joker who can mollify anyone who feels sad or upset. A person whom is worthy of making friends with indeed~

Kaho (aka: Always happy guy)- No matter when i look at his face, he never fails to produce a pristine smile. Another steadfast and pleasant friend of mine, it has been my never-ending quest to make him turn morose, yet i have failed everytime. In my personal opinion, he is a happy-go-lucky person which is a huge advantage in many situations. The only setback about him i have to state is- Not being serious at times. Contrary to me, who takes a lot of things seriously, Kaho is always relaxed and cheerful. For examination periods, this can be rather costly in certain ways. Also another friend i cherish from the bottom of my heart now, and always.

Terry- Ahh.. finally, a person whom i can relate my situation to.. Terry somehow is a synthesis of happy-go-lucky and being serious- hence which makes this oxymoron... To my utmost regret and reluctance, i have to say he is for now, the smartest kid in class. (something i want to achieve) He however tends to be non-serious at many situations.. I can personally feel a cunning streak coming from him from time to time. He is a ok-ok friend to me im afraid. A good person to socialise with in order to study well (or is it?) But one should be wary as to my regret, he is a person who is capable of killing without a person's prior notice (something i am skilled of also actually..) But a good friend nevertheless, in a sense if you get what i mean...

OK finished for now, more sub-content coming up. THIS IS JUST SUB. The main content is the one before this one. Remember that

Mirages, Facades, illusions

2008-09-01T08:15:00.000-07:00

Hi again everyone,
After all the busy days i have gone through, i can finally relax and post my thoughts. Yesterday and today, i had quite a significant amount of fun training with two crazy and supercilious girls. They were good for sec 2's and somehow managed to make me think of the brilliant synthesis of training my badminton skills and getting some amusement from 2 really spastic females (LOL..)
Manage to recollect one or 2 different skilfuls strokes that my previous and beloved coach taught me. Another small thing i want anybody who happens to be reading this post to know. Somehow, i know that i am a person who may be a bit mundane and cannot take jokes. This is true to a certain extend i am afraid.. However, the actual fact is, i can take jokes, what i worry about is the after effects. For E.g People who visited my blog have been putting ridiculous and nonsensical comments. At first, i found it slightly amusing but it continued and people started to take it for granted. I took a tad drastic measures to my deepest regret.. I sincerely hope that these people can understand how i feel. I greatly appreciate it especially towards my friends~
Ok second story. Many people in this paltry world are cunning and surreptitious. Naturally to survive, a person definitely has to be cautious and not be gullible. When a person goes to school, he/she is bound to meet up with really crappy and superfluous arseholes who are bent on spoiling other people's day. He/she would also definitely meet people who are trustworthy and share the same mindset as him/herself. For me, I have definitely met a lot of assholes.. I would not want to name any of them to avoid ay unnecessary problems. However i have met wonderful people. People who have helped me through tough times and are munificent in whatever they have. One person i have to name is my pal Bryan. He was a person who was misunderstood very seriously during secondary one and two. I was mortified to a greatly when i became friends with him. So much to the extend that people started having terrible illusions and facades of who i really am, and this was just because i became friends with Bryan. I feel terribly indignant about this incident not for myself, i have accomplished my mind and can close my thoughts away from these stupid and deleterious comments and claims.
My friend however is actually the real victim. His heart pierced by a million shards of crystals, his mind bend almost to the shape of a hexagon. Ok perhaps i have exaggerated, but the fact that he suffered injustice in a sense is still present. I hope almost everyone can percieve the message that i am tring to put across..
After this series of events, morale and confidence would surely have degenerated to a significant amount. Me and bryan have shared both our deepest secrets and desires(Period Only). We both have different so-called crushes or whatever you may call it. We know in our heart somehow that it is quite impossible to achieve something like that. Never Never and ever get me wrong, i am not trying to win over anyone's sympathy. Instead.. err actually i also do not know why am i writing this XDXDXD (shitttt!!!)
OK this is just to perhaps illustrate me and bryans life in a different light. Ok i have written enough for today. Just for the record, nothing written here is implying to anything whatsoever. This is to avoid any confusion between all my fellow peers. For anyone reading this just take it as a story of two unfortunate teenagers.

Sub-content. (Read at own risk)

2008-08-28T09:17:00.001-07:00

Now just to comment on some people whom i know for sometime. Just to write what kind of personalities i think they have. By no order

Adelyne- Very sociable, Fun, Outgoing and (Darn act-cute) overall- a nice and good person
Bing rong- Very happy-go-lucky. Easily deceived. Not much confidence in what he does even though he maybe good. A very nice person except that he needs more confidence.

Bryan choy- A very close friend of mine. Quiet in a sense, not very active in sports unfortunately.. Also does not have confidence in what he does even though he is actually a fking pro eg. MATH ( hes a dick who scores darn well) An extremely trustworthy person who will never betray, backstab his friends.
Caleb- A very nice person actually, except that he talks a tad too much. Trustworthy and very friendly.
Daniel- A very cheerful and fun-loving person. Very good to bully actually as he is very forgiving.
Thats it for now, more sub content in the future

Hello everyone,

Finally after a few meaningless days, i can finally sit down in front of my laptop in composure and post some of my thoughts. Yesterday, 3C o8 had a rather hard time getting everyone to cooperate and practice the aces day dance steps together. Their attempt was futile and abortive unfortunately due to some lack of understanding among everyone. I stayed back as well so as to avoid endless nagging from the dynamic duo louise and putri :) what a shame haha.. Both of them were rather adamant about everyone staying back.. scary XD

The next topic would be a tad sensitive to certain people. Everyone knows death is inevitable. Its so-called just a matter of time. People refer to death as a bane to their existence as it poisons the enjoyment of life. However, one should not feel apprehensive about it.. When a person has led a good life, and fufilled many desires and dreams, he or she would be already living with great alacrity. Do not get me wrong, when i say that a person should not fear death, it does not mean a person should start succumbing to death and trying find davy jones locker. (lol..) Instead, live life to the fullest and treasure every moment of it. I hope that a person in my class who recently experienced the loss of a family member would read this and remember not to drown in despair, but instead start treasuring others close to him and never live in regrets~

Today everyone received their PPR for this term. As predicted, many people complained about
It being too lousy and that they did not put in suffice effort. I am slightly different, My grades were more or less average.. It was worse than before. I thought to myself, i put quite a significant amount of effort yet.. Theres always a solution to problems. For this it happens to be focus. I guess focus is indeed the key to succeeding. Without it, a person is like a wandering soul with no direction or goals.

Last thing of the day, well.. another corny paragraph. Any weak minded fools, please stop reading at this point in time XD Just as i have mentioned in my previous post, puppy love in schooling life is inevitable. Sometimes, it gets so intense that guys might start falling for the same girl and conversation between them might turn awkward and acrimonious. I myself have witnessed many people in schools experiencing it- Both the happy and sad parts. A friend in class once told me that this kind of experiences are extremely pristine and is really wonderful. However, it also comes with a onerous price. I myself have not experienced it and cannot describe the true and ingenuous truth about it, but this indeed proves to be a cryptic thing altogether. Happiness, anguish, thrills and solitude... all in time.

One and truly,

Hi everyone,
This is another post by me. Class was awesome today, everyone (mostly the guys) were all somehow acting like infected monkeys with rabies. Ok, putting aside the joke, my point is that they were all having fun and were rather carefree somehow. This was mostly because our form teacher was on MC and we had 2 whole periods to simply waste our time~

Ok next topic. This is a rather sensitive topic to some people including me and my good friend Bryan. In schooling life, many elusive things can happen. One common thing is crushes.
Yes many people who might be reading this paragraph at this point in time may start having self-thoughts. To many students especially guys, this tends to be extremely hard to be eluded from their daily life. Scientifically speaking, this is common among teenagers as they are growing up.Transforming from a young and innocent kid, teenagers learn to confront these types of feelings.
In every school, there are different classifications of people. The ones which receives the most attention are the popular kids. They may be "cool" because of how they behave or perhaps having a certain talent which his or her peers may not have. These are the types of people who receives attention from cute and hot girls. (LoL..) The next and most likely thing which would happen is them being together, in other words going steady.
Another group of people are called the nerds/geeks/losers/lamers whichever term u prefer. These type of people are the ones which are usually misunderstood. The person may be quiet and passive which may result in other people thinking hes an eccentric weirdo. This is the sad and heartbreaking truth. Incidentally, i have been one of these kind of people. I know exactly how a person feels when he or she is not accepted by his or her peers... They would put on a strong front and pretend nothing is happening yet, oblivious to everyone, his/her heart is already shattered into millions of pieces...
However, these people are still teenagers in a growing stage, the part on having crushes are usually inevitable. Yet they are unable to even interact with most girls sometimes due to deep misunderstandings.. For all anyone may even know, these people may be the most gentle and understanding people among all. Yet many people still do not fathom this simple logic.
Me and my friend, Bryan, would usually take a stroll in a desolate park and start asking each other the same question every once in a while. Why are we not getting any chances? Why do most cute girls go for obnoxious and insensitive guys who always put on a facade?.. Me and Bryan however, have already accepted this fact. Yet i feel indignant for anyone who falls under this category.
After this simple logic i have shown, i beseech to anyone who is reading this blog, always give people a chance. Never assume.. Assuming is jus making

Discover a person's true nature and personality, form friendships with different types of people. This may very well lead you to discovering something Elusive.

Just another day

2008-08-19T08:35:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,
I am gonna post something after this long week, Been very busy lately so yeah.. Ok today was a rather interesting or i would say, unexpected. We (as in F&N students) had a little practical today. As interesting as it sounds, yes it was fun and delightfully meaningful. Manage to learn 3 dishes woohooo!!! Ok on to the acadamic segment of this topic, F&N practical is literally a FREE DISTINCTION for a test mark.
Yes indeed this gives us an unfair advantage against many other students taking different elective subjects. A classmate of mine today said F&N suck balls. Despites his absolutely futile endeavour to piss me with some comments, it was rather amusing to me. When i questioned about his D&T grade for the mid year examinations, he simply told me he forgot his mark.
What an utterly pathetic excuse!! He said F&N was a dumb subject, yet he himself could not even score a proper grade which he would be proud to tell other people for his elective subject, how ironic isnt it? This simply proves to me one simple logic as well- People talk before they think. This would probably lead to someone being contradicted indefinitely, which is rather, embarrassing :D
Ok on to another highlight, my fren lionel asked me a simple question also. He asked if i liked my current secondary 3 class. Without any hesitation, i told him yes. My class is actually a rather wonderful and interactive class. I sincerely believe in my heart that non of them are bad eggs, except for being a little too cheeky and playful. I respect everyone in my class, even those who usually play silly retarded gimmicks on me. In such an environment, it gives humans and opportunity to cultivate a sense of camaraderie. I also hope that by next year, everyone will be smiling and rejoicing together when we receive our O lvls results and we would remember each other even as we move on.
Ok, once again i think i crapped too much on this little blog. Better to save the rest for next time. Ok time to sleep and dream of guitars wooohoo!!! till next time

Reality check with based imagination

2008-08-10T09:36:00.000-07:00

Alright, many people would usually write crap once in a while which are most of the time BASELESS and just trying to express how so-called "lonely" and "sad" they are.

They would usually use corny *shuttles* examples like a lone wolf in the dark night, howling in despair.. Gazing at the Sparkling stars in solitude... I could go on forever with this simple example.
These kind of things is good once in a while, but should not be done in excess. They would also usually start using really deep and profound english grammar and vocabulary. Instead of making me think that hey, is this guy from Oxford university.. I would think, gosh.. did he get enough sleep last night? Ok moving on with my little tale.

So everyone has some silly dreams which needs to be fufilled. I am not excluded. A number of people i have met showed me much they wanted it. But they never strived at all. A good example would be a friend of mine called A*d*i*h, so sorry, i will not show his exact name. This certain friend of mine would look at me in the eyes with his huge owl eyes in a very determined manner and say he will achieve his goal.
However, all that he said was just a pretence. This was his personality- pretentious. This eventually led him to a certain consequence.
For me? i would sometimes go deep into my mind, my dreamworld, my fantasies and imagine how wonderful it is like having achieve my goals. This would no doubt inspire me and push me foward to achieve them. Things however are never smooth. There are bound to be certain obstacles which are bent on stopping you. In actualy fact, it does not really matter if you succeed or not. If a person really tried, he or a she would have already succeeded in the heart. A Beacon of hope has already shone down. The attitude is there and it would not be hard to figure out the path from that position.
As i am writing this, i am gazing silentlly at the stars hoping that one day, one fateful day, it will be my turn to earn this kind of experience and attitude. What i seek is not as simple as anyone can ever imagine. However most of my peers would simply label it as knowledge. They call me eccentric, nerdy, smart whatever naught it is, i am always myself. To summarise, A person has to keep striving in order to improve and be able to tell him or herself, hey,
I am a great person
