A little late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

2011 was a pretty good year, so I wonder what more will come in 2012...

Short post, hah.

First day of school was okay. Better than expected, actually. Came to school thinking that I'd be stuck in the compound doing Maths but turns out I went home at 6 after finishing the Captain America trailer with Zhisheng, which I must say I am kinda proud of! Best part is the ending, feels the most original compared to any other trailer haha! xD Everything else is like the usual, what you'd expect to find in variations of the trailer, hah. Next up, Slumdog Millionaire (oh great -_-).

Just finished storyboard (my part) a couple of minutes ago. SHOULD be sleeping right now, but sigh, lazy to move my butt, haha. Don't know if it's the breeze or the fan, but it is tolerably cooling.

Right. That last sentence just triggered my memory of finding a jacket on G-Market, since Bugis Street had none, in which another memory is triggered: to go to Bugis Street on Sat, and exchange my shorts.

Lol, my shorts. Funny story.

Insisted on a 28, which was actually the waist line I got when some uncle was measuring for me. In actual fact, wearing 28 is okay for me, when I STAND, but sitting down is as good as wearing really tight pants lol. SIGH. Worst part is that I removed the tag, but I didn't throw it away. HOPEFULLY I can change it, otherwise, there goes $12. T_T though, I still have one more pair, haha. Bought 2, and HX bought the third cuz it was worth it. :D

The seller was friendly though. LOL. A bit creepy cuz we don't know him at all, but friendly indeed, in ways. Haha. When I was joking that I wanted 3 shorts for $30, he did the "I wanna punch you" action in which I laughed. Haha. His actions are like, you know he is joking, and you won't take offense, heh. Yeah. Hopefully he remembers me on Sat so that that increases my chances of exchanging, LOL (see, now I am having doubts :/)!

Okay, haha. Maybe I'll just do a quick search through G-Market, then I'll go sleep. HOPEFULLY. I want to sleep. I think I can fall asleep anytime. But I always say that. Once I get up and wash up, that feeling is gone and I have to lie on the hard floor (I sleep on a really THIN mattress, fyi) and wait till I fall asleep. Go through my personal thoughts and memories, possibly, emo, sometimes, I guess?

Mm, speaking of emo, ...

Okay, wasn't emoing.

I was watching Touched By An Angel (again), same episode, ending (AGAIN). Can't help it! I never get over it, and my tears never fail to weld up, though they never seem to flow down, idk why. Maybe it's cuz I am subconsciously resisting, haha.

Anyway, recently been hooked on SNSD. Hahaha. Watched reality shows with them and kept looping their songs. At the same time, I've been hooked and P&W songs, or CCM. Hah. Retreat did wonders, and in fact I am still thinking back about the retreat! DAMN! I miss it haha! :')

STAC's so different without SJB, and it sucks that they are taking a break. Wish they'd just take a step back and be normal members rather than left, it just DOESN'T feel worth it at all, sigh!

But then again, it's their decision, and I'll respect their decision. They were and are really really really awesome seniors, and whether the *next batch* or *current batch* of leaders will be like them, it's tough man, that's all I can say. It takes a lot of commitment to lead, though too much could cause havoc.

Oh well, hope that STAC will still blossom as the year goes by, and I look forward to more activities and stuff that will bond us closer! Yay! *hinthint* AMAZING RACE! :D I wanna participate again this year, haha. Don't feel ready to plan, yet. I wanna be a player again, for the third time. It's always more fun to play than plan, so I hope that if I am approached, my decision to play instead will be respected? :)

God is soooooo awesome. Actually, beyond awesome. Yeah. Still remember what Belicia and Bryan's godma said during the retreat. Blew me away, haha. Whatever challenges I face this year, I know He will be by my side, and not just this year, but all the time. There may be doubt, but I think it's only human that we do this. But nonetheless, I still trust God, and I love Him like, more than anything else!!! <3

LOL.

Okay, what was intended to be a short post turned out to be...not so short. xD

Oh kay.

Then.

See ya, till next time! :)

I need a time machine,

2011-12-30T01:19:00.000+08:00

2011 is ending in two days! Can you believe it?! In just a short couple of hours, 2012 will be here! Damn!

2011 was a pretty good year for me. :) I am thankful for all the times I got to spend with my family, friends, and most importantly, God, for the whole of this year.

Wonder what awaits me in 2012!

Looking forward to that, yet rather afraid. Haha. Guess it's like that every year. ;)

I will testify the love,

2011-12-22T02:16:00.000+08:00

Hello!

Back from retreat, and I have this strong urge to blog!

This is going to be a post-retreat reflection.

I had such a good time during the past two and a half days man! I really did! Thinking that it's over, it just feels kinda sad! I felt like I wanted to spend more time with the people there, and learn more about God, and more about myself, and more about my friends!

This is soooo unlike me. I'm the type who'd usually dread stay-in events, like camps and chalets (yes, even chalets!), but when it's a year-end retreat with STAC, I don't really give it a second thought.

I can vividly remember in 2007, my first year in STAC, I didn't wanna go to the retreat initially, but was pressed into going by Uncle Sam! In the end, I did not regret going for the retreat. I won't say that I wouldn't have regretted not going for the retreat, but it would've been more like, till today, I may never know, because I missed 2009's retreat... From then on, I just really had a good impression of STAC retreats, and I want to be a part of every one of them if possible!

I feel so blessed to be able to make it for this one. I actually almost couldn't. I attempted to lie to my lecturer in charge that I could not go for the Public Speaking workshop, but in the end I didn't have to, at all! What's more, Ms Clyda (the lecturer) insisted that I have FUN at the retreat. Wow! What words from a lecturer man! Why are my existing lecturers not like that? Damn! Haha.

Shit, I feel so bloody emotional writing all these! But I guess it's a good thing, ahaha. I haven't really felt this much for quite some time now... So yeah, good! :)

I'm so thankful and grateful for this retreat, for God being in my life. Without God, I wouldn't have gone to church, I wouldn't have met this awesome choir which feels like family to me, apart from my real one of course, haha! Wait... Without God, I may not even be here.

Truly, God is beyond awesome. Like when Bryan's godmother shared earlier today, even 'awesome' can't describe God. That's how amazing He is. He loves us so much that He gave us the freedom of choice, to live as and how we like. That really struck me. It never really crossed my mind, that, He IS the King of Kings, and he could have just drawn us to Him by himself with all His power and might, but He didn't. He just gave us the freedom of choice. Also, many of us feel like we are unworthy of His love, and yet He still takes us in. He draws us close to Him. He reaches out to us when we feel like we are alone.

We just cannot always see it. Selene shared that majority of us Christian-Catholics will not experience God through our eyes, cuz that's what most of us want to do. We want to see God face to face, not through the wind, etc. But come to think of it, shouldn't we feel glad and honoured that God has appeared to us in ways we cannot see?

Simply Amazing.

Another really memorable session would be when we were watching the show "Touched by an Angel". The whole show itself was so emotional, especially the ending. No, I didn't cry. But if I watched it again, who knows? Hahaha. If the show was still showing on Channel 5, I'd definitely catch it! I recommend that people watch this. It's just so meaningful.

Then we have the other sessions by the priests: Father Francis, Henry, Fred, Irvine, Kenson... Ya. They all taught me something different. Something new. All of which, I can hopefully apply in my life, or perhaps come into realization of them one day... The most interesting session between the priests, in my opinion, was Father Fred's. He really gave me a sense of realization on the day itself. I didn't have to wait to experience anything to understand, because most of what he said has already happened in my life so far, ignoring your loved ones for example. I still have patience issues with my Grandmother, but now I will definitely try to take into consideration of her feelings, and also gotta remember that, it is out of old age that she is like this (no offense intended okay!). I have to learn to understand, and to be more patient... I'll work on that.

I'll also work on my relationship with God. I really will. I think that without the retreat, I may not have realized that my relationship with God is not that great. I used to think it was okay, but I had the sudden realization (again) that it wasn't so! Yes, I pray. Yes, I go to mass. But I don't feel like I give more time to God. Like just talking to Him personally, alone in a room or something. Maybe it's because I haven't had the chance, I don't know... But I'll really try to do so, ASAP!

I believe I had more to write when I first thought this out, but after moving here and there for quite some time, I just cannot recall lol. ><

Yeah, I'll never forget this retreat. Ever. I wanna specially thank Selene, Jason, Bryan and Beatrice for putting in all their hard work into planning this retreat: from the games, to location, to speakers, thank you soooo much for bothering to do this retreat, for the sake of the choir. Thank you for your commitment! :)

I also want to thank everyone else who attended and participated in the retreat! My bunkmates: Sean, Yendall and Matthias. Though I don't speak to you guys so much on Sundays, I feel like we more or less bonded throughout these few days, and I am so glad! :) Of course, the rest of the people too! Shirin, Isabel, Priscillia, thanks for coming, and growing with the choir. Hope you guys enjoyed the retreat! Of course, not forgetting Anthia, Suzette, Berenice and Uncle Sam for coming to the retreat despite your busy schedules! Anthia and Suzette, thanks for coming for the first day. It really shows a lot about you guys because honestly, one could've just decided, "Since I'm only going for 1 day, might as well not go!" but you guys DIDN'T! YAY! :D Berenice, thanks for coming in and out everyday, because you have school. And also, Uncle Sam, for coming for a few hours! :D

Those who didn't/couldn't make it for the retreat, it's really sad. You guys missed out! :( But oh well, life goes on and you can always look forward to another retreat in two years. I pretty much predict a concert to come next year, where it's more appropriate.

In short, I just wanna thank all those who came for the retreat, making it possible! :D

Hahaha!

Okay, shall go watch the ending of "Touched by an Angel"! I don't know why, I just feel it's appropriate to watch this before I sleep! :D

So I guess that's it.. Any edits, I'll just do them here. ;)

Looking forward to uploading close to 600 photos! Don't really need editing, I guess, cuz the majority is FLASH ;D HAHAH!

Yeah, with that, I sad GOODBYE ! AND GOODNIGHT ! :D

It's not your fault,

2011-11-28T20:54:00.000+08:00

Hello world.

Last week was probably the most tiring week of this semester so far. Stayed back almost everyday. Overspent my allowance (and eventually claimed a bit more extra).

What's new?

Despite that, I had friends to rely on, to pull through together during this time of hecticness.

Unfortunately, we are to expect more to come...

Then again, I have my Sunday mornings to really take a break. Although I wake up early on Sundays, I have a really awesome choir to look forward to. ;)

All in all, life's worth living, thus far. Hehehe. :)

111111

2011-11-12T01:12:00.000+08:00

This post is in no way a negative entry. Take note.

Everyday, I tend to see people making wishes at 11:11am/pm, and when some of them missed it by a minute or two, they'd be like, "Damn! I missed 11:11!! T.T" and it in a way amuses me. Heh.

Ok that's beside the point of this post.

I don't believe in this 11:11 thing. I once read Louis' fb post saying that he doesn't need 11:11 because he has God, and I had to like that post so much because I was 100% with it! I have God, and because of that fact, I don't need to believe in 11:11.

Of course, this doesn't mean that people who believe in God, whether they are Christian-Catholic or not, do or should not believe in 11:11.

The thing that I like about this 11:11 wishing theory, is that when people wish, they see hope in good things happening. I mean, who doesn't wish for good things right? Of course the wishes that "my life would end" or "he/she will die" are just plain evil and ridiculous, but most people will wish for good things like good results or good relationships or world peace, etc. The worst is when people make a wish and end with, "Oh but I think it won't come true" or "..but it won't come true at all" (aside from the jokers and trolls, heh). Like, why bother making a wish when you have no hope in it at all? Ironic!

I don't know if it's right, but that's what I feel.

However, on 111111 (11 November 2011), an especially significant date for most 11:11 people, and just a cool repeated number kind of date for people like me (heh), I decided to make a wish at 11:11pm.

I just felt like, it felt special. 111111, 11:11. It was damn cool. Hahaha.

So I made a wish anyway. But not just any wish. I made a wish in God's name. So it was kinda like a prayer in the end, but I started it with "I wish", of course, to go with the 11:11 wishing theory. :)

When I opened my eyes, I was quite overwhelmed with hope, that this 'wish' would come true. Hmm, who knows? God does. ;)

Well, yeah. I just really felt this urge to blog about this. This is to all those who made their wishes on 11:11, whether for fun or with much hope and faith, that their wishes will come true! :)

Signing out! ^^

/PS A LOT OF ASSIGNMENTS & PROJECTS. T_____T can die lolkbye.

It's been so quiet since you've gone,

2011-11-09T00:37:00.000+08:00

Got a haircut today, like finally.

Unfortunately, it wasn't what I was hoping for. Not even close. The hairdresser misheard what I wanted, and when I checked with her, she said it would look weird because the center of the hair is already cut short.

Just so you know, I wanted to shave/cut short-er the sides, leaving the middle with some/more hair. Don't know what it's called, gah. Would be nice to know.

Is it fauxhawk? Or is that just the hairstyle when people with the haircut style their hair to look similar to a mohawk??

I'm confused.

Sigh.

Oh well, the haircut in overall is okay.

Can't really blame the hairdresser anyway. My Chinese sucks.

And I was also stumbling on whether to use 'shave' or 'cut shorter than' for the sides..

All I heard was some guy saying he wanted to cut side slope and he got it. Maybe I should've said that. :O

On a side note, doing Eda's assignment now. The practical one with questions. Finishing soon. Each question is getting shorter answers because there isn't much to write. Am I even supposed to elaborate? I know that this sem, the journals count more but really, the instructions are just so UNCLEAR.

Like for example, saying that we will resume with The Pupil episode 2 on week 5, and people are saying that we have to submit by week 5, and I am in confusion as well.

Seriously, damn unclear instructions. Hope my boss in the future won't be like that or I'mma be gg-fied.

Yeah, anyway, time check: 12.36am. Yeah. Procrastinated all the way.

AND HERE I AM, blogging. Yeah. Nice.

Okay, shall get off blogger.

Bye. :)

We're making loud music,

2011-10-29T23:03:00.002+08:00

I don't know why, I always feel that something's missing in my life, though it doesn't always occur to me.

My grandmother

2011-10-25T18:10:00.000+08:00

First time I'm having a real title.

I realized that recently I've been tweeting about how I've been so irritated because of my grandmother and all.

Yes, I believe that when people read it, they'd probably think I'm a terrible grandson, saying how irritated and annoyed I am because of her.

But people don't know me, and why I am writing all this.

Yes, yes. Talking like a hypocrit. Aware of that. Anything new?

No, this is not a flaming topic. I'm not so bad to flame my grandmother, or talk shit about her. Even if I had worse things to say than, "She's pissing me off cuz of her poor memory" I'd keep those as thoughts in my mind, not tell them to the world. That's stupid.

I'm 17. I more or less know what I'm doing, I guess. Maybe not a lot of things, but well, growing older, and learning more.

Things me and any family member would probably tell people who ask about my grandma?

She loves clorox. Don't know why. She tends to gag quite a bit after she uses it though, cuz she can't stand the smell. It is the main reason why I tend to stop wearing a number of my clothes, no matter how recently I owned it, because the stupid clorox screws up the colours of my clothes, and leaves out-of-place blotches on my t-shirts. My old STAC shirt turned into a disgusting brown cuz of that vile clorox. At that point, she felt bad, but eventually she couldn't resist from using clorox, and ended up using it again. We CANNOT convince her not to use it. It's like her baby lol.

She also likes to do the dishes, the laundry, etc. I'd be embarassed to say that I don't know how to do the laundry because she never gives my family members a chance to wash our own clothes. She insists that she must do everything, and she only wants to do things quickly, as if it's a chore to her, but it ISN'T. Mom said she'd tell people that she has no choice, but technically we'd do it ourselves if we had the choice, so it's actually US who do not have the damned choice. :/ I usually re-wash my dishes and cups before using them because I know she doesn't really wash them clean, just quickly, again. Mom once saw her medicinal leaves in the cup lol, wth.

Speaking of clothes, she hates it when we (especially me) buy clothes. And contradictory to that is that she used to buy lots of clothes for herself in the past. Now she only has like 5 sets of clothes I think, blah. I always talk about how I'm gonna live in my own apartment when I'm an adult, and that I'm gonna have all the clothes I want and no one's gonna stop me, when in reality, I probably only want to see her reaction to that. Anything to do with looks (when we bring it up/carry it out) is like a huge crime to her. When I dyed my hair (unfortunately a failure), she made a huge fuss, and said that the young people are stupid cuz they don't know what's going to happen next time when they're older. She then mentioned that all her children never dyed her her, and other nonsense. Mom was translating for me (she was speaking in dialect) and was saying how ironic she was being because she herself dyes her hair so often (and around the blocks is probably one of the few elderly to do so) and her children, a majority HAVE dyed their hair. She is also against girls wearing shorts and anything that shows skin, and wearing a bikini at the beach or swimming pool, calling them 'mo gui'.

However, having said all this, she has poor memory. She'd probably forget some things she has said, and if she has to, she'd say it again (like the girls are 'mo gui' thing). This is probably the reason why I get so easily annoyed. Not the above things I have mentioned, but this. She will ask questions repeatedly, every 5 minutes, and she can't tell that we are actually annoyed. Bro is the one who gets most annoyed most of the time, probably by her third repeated question, he'd get really annoyed..

I tend to tell myself to relax, that she has poor memory due to old age, and we cannot do anything about it. Medication has never helped her memory improve (maybe it did at the beginning but eventually it was as good as not taking anything). It just worries me. I'm almost always so irritated, annoyed and frustrated by her more than anyone in this household. Most of the times, it's due to her small problems, and on some occasions (like the STAC shirt incident), relatively big-ger problems...

At the end of everyday, she is my grandmother. I cannot possibly hate her, no matter how mad I get. I don't think I ever will, and that's the special power of family. You can't hate your family no matter how much you tell yourself that you do. Self-conciously, you're probably thinking that you want to apologize to the one(s) you've hurt at home, or if you've been away from home due to a quarrel, come back, but because of 'face', yes, 'face'. Pride.

I love my grandmother, and whenever I get frustrated or whatsoever, I think about myself. The times I've made a family member pissed or anything. Then I wonder how I'll be like in my old age. What if I have this memory failure thing, and my children and grandchildren get so mad at me, their feelings for me is much worse than my feelings for my grandmother when I do something annoying, and the worst part is that it isn't the least bit intentional!

On and off, I definitely do pray for my grandmother, that her memory will miraculously improve. And in the process of writing this, I'm going to try to remember to pray that every night. Yes, people may say, "But she's old, it wouldn't make sense that her memory would get better." maybe so, but with God, the unexpected can be done.

And everytime she is about to piss me off, or I am holding all my anger back, I'll learn to pray to God, to control my emotions, and be more understanding.

Hmm, I realized that this entry is more of a self-realization, self-learning post, not a ranting post, at all. As I was writing this, I probably forgot some points I wanted to write down here, but it's okay. Guess I forgot because it's not important.

I won't regret posting this. I won't end up deleting this entry 5 minutes later like most personal entries I tend to write about. Also, everytime I feel frustrated due to my grandmother's poor memory and small problems she causes to make me feel that way, I'll read this entry.

Hope people who seem to be facing the same difficulties with a family member will also learn that they cannnot ever hate that member, and that God will help them if they asked Him for help. and believed.

God be in my head, and in my family members', including Grandma. :)

Hear my thoughts in every note,

2011-10-24T18:16:00.000+08:00

Wanted to do an extremely personal and opinion-filled post, but I scraped everything off. Fear struck me, that's probably (obviously) the main reason why. Bah.

Today was a really warm day, yeah. LOL. Don't really know how to describe school today.

Programming and scripting was fun, much to my surprise! The codes we learned today were interesting, especially the input_raw code, hehehe. There was a super long pause on the lesson towards the end, cuz Mr Leong got lost on the lesson, lol. That really killed time.

With the 2 hour break, went to Koufu with the usual people, including MJ and Joel. Tried the mini wok stall for the first time. Ordered black pepper fried rice. Not too bad, but damn oily, especially at the bottom. I 'special ordered' mine by saying that I didn't want any of the corn, peas, etc. The aunty at the counter was like, "So mafan" and Joel and I were smiling at each other lol. Didn't feel paiseh or what, cuz I'm the customer! :P

Kinda saw Nick and Sokman at Koufu, lol. Cool. Today I met 4 4Sin people, 2 on the bus, 2 at Koufu, all in NYP now, HAHAHA!

Went to the library after meeting up with Yanxin. Slacked. Nothing else to say. LOL.

Storyboarding was zzz. REALLY. Too much talking already. Some parts were amusing but I kinda just lost him until the part Andrew talked about the storyboard layout. Sigh. First assignment from this module, but sounds *relatively* easy though. DOABLE is the safer word, hehehe.

Maths tomorrow. Oh noooo. I can't help but worry that I'd get called for a question of which the answer is not on the screen, LOL. Yes, I don't mind those questions. Freaking call my name for those types of questions!!!! :X

Ok, nothing else to post. Thinking if I should continue with DMC4 lol. Xavier's game btw, after I took it from Nick, and was supposed to pass it to Eric. Was damn curious, considering that I know the game, and I have heard really good reviews about it... Heh.

I really should learn to sleep more regularly. Worrying for myself, and my mom for constantly nagging hah. >_<

Just hear me out,

2011-10-18T00:02:00.000+08:00

Okay. School has officially started again. Sem 2. So many things to look forward to, so many things I don't exactly wish to look forward to..

Had programming and scripting, then storyboarding today.

Prog & scripting was okay. I could more or less understand, I guess? But I believe that there will be much more to memorize in the long run, which is gonna suck so bad. Plus I HAVE to remember everything for tests. Sigh.

Saw a bit of Tron Legacy lol. Kept skipping parts here and there, and even got a spoiler of who died, LOL. -.- Though it was a 'homework' for us to watch the movie on our own, I don't think I will... Never watched a movie online before, except A Walk To Remember, on Youtube.

Yes, Youtube.

Sigh. Majority of the movies on Youtube have been removed due to copyright claim, even AWTR. :(

Well, at least I have the movie on my lappy thanks to Bryan, hahahaha! :)

Oh and we have a new lecturer, Mr TJ, if I am not wrong. Ang moh guy. Not bad. His accent is easier to understand than Ms Gale, at least. Yay.

The lecture part was kinda boring until we got to the part about bytes and bits, haha. Calculating here and there.

There was a long break after the module. 2 hours for 01, 4 for 02. Since south canteen was packed, we went out to eat. Then we went back to school and slacked at the library till it was time to go for storyboarding.

Storyboarding was a bit sian. Lecturer telling his stories.

....No one can beat Mrs James. She can tell tons of stories, and every single one of them would be interesting. She was an interesting lecturer. Too bad she left. Well, at least we were her last batch of NYP students...? :D

Anyway, yeah introduction to the module, etc etc.

We were supposed to watch Spiderman 2, but there was something wrong with the lecturer's com, so we just ended the lesson 30 minutes earlier, hohoho.

Met Xavier on the bus home, then realized Lek was on the bus too when he alighted, lol. Was a lonely ride home, oh well.

Yeah, that really pretty much sums up my first day of the semester. Hope that this sem will be as awesome as sem 1. Yes, awesome. I'm serious! ;)

--

I've made a promise to myself to save $5 to $10 every week from my allowance. I think it's possible, unless I eat out of school everyday. == Otherwise, I'm not giving myself excuses. I'm doing this cuz I believe that the extra pocket money I save can be used for important things, events...

Sigh, talking about money. I hate it when people judge me simply because of my budget attitude towards money. Dear all you wealthy judgemental people out there, as much as I'd like to be as fortunate as you guys, I can't.

As if I don't feel sucky enough? ==

I think thrice whenever I have to make a decision involving a big sum of money. I'm growing older, and I have to rely less on my parents money. I gotta learn to find jobs fast during every holiday. Thank goodness for December's carolling sessions, or I'd be doomed..

I know to enjoy life ok, but I know my limits more.

Yes okay, got something off my chest... :)

Yup, that's all I'm really posting about. NTS: plank (exercise), take skin medi, ...anything else? Not really.

On a happy note, since there's only Maths tmr, I don't have to bring laptop!! :) Not that I had to bring today but wtheck la, used to it alr. == LOL. Other than that, maths sucks so bad so I'm not looking forward to it. :( No complaints about the 2-hour curriculum, hahaha. Can sleep late, and leave considerably early. :D

Everybody hurts some days,

2011-10-12T01:31:00.000+08:00

So many questions,
So much on my mind.
So many answers I can't find.
Wish I could turn back the time,
I wonder why.

Everybody Hurts | Avril Lavigne

So follow me honestly,

2011-10-09T19:10:00.000+08:00

Thought I got over you.
Months ago.
Everything just came back again.

Geez, my life.

Yeah I still support Converse! :P

2011-10-07T19:24:00.000+08:00

THIS. (after current pair spoils)

We're not going anywhere,

2011-10-02T23:44:00.000+08:00

Watched The Dark Knight today. Actually, the last part, where Batman was in the carpark (?) with Joker and they were having this really soft* conversation before he went on to confront the guy with the burnt face.

Hahaha, don't judge me okay, not a DC or Batman fan.

Went way back in time. 3 years, actually, to when I went to Korea with the HI choir. I clearly remember watching The Dark Knight on the flight back to HK or Singapore, I can't remember which..

I fell asleep halfway during the movie and claimed that it was boring.

Thinking again, maybe it was cuz I was...

Sleepy?

Anyway, the show did get good reviews..

Maybe I'll watch it again when it's on TV, who knows?

*due to the noise of mahjong shuffling lol
--

Did my third overall psalm this morning (yes I'm counting).

I am aware of my mistakes, and my *tk-ing* sounds that felt like a habit I had to do, despite not having done that the past 2 psalms.

A lot of things were in my mind as I approached the altar to bow.

Don't be nervous, you got this.
Remember Selene's advice.
Stand on the lower step.
Adjust the mike right.
Don't hesistate!!
Just carry on if you screw up.
Look at the audience once in a while..
Crap, my specs went down lol.
Last verse! Oh crap I forgot to raise my hand. DO IT NOW DO IT NOW !

...

And the list goes on.

Hah.

Nervous? Not really... Maybe a bit? The feeling of going to do psalm is like sitting on a roller coaster (for me). Everytime I'm gonna do it, I get a bit nervous and excited at the same time, as if every single time I do it is a completely new experience.

Didn't hesitate. There was one part where I sang the right note at the wrong word and I just decided to repeat the sentence instantly lol. No hesitation there, didn't stutter whatsoever. Yay. :)

After mass was the usual practice, and a really long hour of X'mas practice (we only did one song). But it was okay. Felt like I wasn't completely focus and in fact, felt like I was losing focus towards the end, singing softer and sometimes, wrongly. I ended up hitting Ivan everytime he disturbed me (yes IVAN, I blame YOU for distracting me from focus too, WAHAHAHAHA).

Ok, lame. LOL.

--

Right, I plan to go to either Starhub or Sony Music tomorrow to claim one of the prizes.

Seriously, I feel so damn lucky. One day I got word that I won a contest, and the next I received an email saying I won another!

Haven't had this 'lucky' feeling in a while.

Everyone in the family says I have the lucky touch and should keep joining contests and stuff.

Yes, I have won contests and lucky draws before, and the feeling of seeing your name being announced is really really nice, but you can't expect to win all the time.

Besides, these are easy to participate in, sometimes even no brainer. So if I lose, I don't really feel much, unless the prize is woah. :O

Sigh, this is all bringing me back to 2008 when I won the iPod shuffle from Feast Day. It broke after like what, 2, 3 months?? -_-

Too small already, argh!

Yeah anyway, hope they don't ask me to stand against a wall and take a photo with my prize or whatever, lol. So weird. ;/

Okay, I shall end of my entry here.

3-in-1, hahaha.

Not like anyone reads anyway.

Starting to feel like I shouldn't care about what I post here, but I am aware that there is the possibility of silent visitors (like me to others' blogs LOL), so it's still safer not to mention names and stuff if I'm thinking of flaming, hahaha.

To end off;

Happy birthday mom. Working on getting the Stitch cookie cutter hehe. :)
PS, sometimes I feel like blogging about . but nah, I'd rather not.

Let me hear your voice,

2011-09-26T17:49:00.001+08:00

It's funny how a person I do not know can make me feel so much shock and disgust.

I may not know you, but I believe that people like you do not deserve to be loved, because you received too many chances, and you threw every single one of them away.

--

Considering removing tagboard, since it's dead. This blog will now on be for myself to write down my thoughts whenever I feel like doing so. Even if there were readers, it's like they are all doing it on the sly.

Actually, so am I..

LOL..

So don't let me go,

2011-09-25T20:50:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was Dom's wedding. Geez, I actually wrote 'birthday' at first. -___-

It's interesting to see a friend get married, and be filled with pure joy, and to be so blessed by God. Usually, I'd grin a lot when the wedded couple is announce, after the mass/service, but yesterday was different. I was smiling more than ever, because this time, I actually knew one of them, being the groom.

I wonder what my future's going to be like. What??

Who's going to be in my future, to share it with me?

I'm so curious, but I'll never know.

Don't know what God has planned for me, but I believe in Him, and I believe He has planned a future that works for me, come what may.

Oh, right, I wanted to quote the back page of Dom's wedding booklet, but we had to return it. Sad. No link to me though, but it was pretty nice, something to do with 'marrying my best friend', haha. But then again, not everyone marries their best friend, right (of course, best friend of the opposite gender)?

People say it is impossible to have a best friend kind of relationship between a boy and a girl, but I don't think it is completely true.. I just dislike it when a person's bf/gf totally doesn't trust him/her and is against them having a best friend who is of the opposite gender. I think if best friends had feelings for each other, it'd be pretty obvious. It wouldn't be the same, I believe.

Haha, okay I'm totally sidetracking.

Okay, onto another topic.

Realized more and more people these days are privating their blogs, Facebook (some do!), Twitter, etc..

Social networking sites and online journals..

I admit I also private my Twitter and hide most of my information on Fb for people who view my profile without adding me for gkw.

But it's increasingly noticeable.

Are we becoming more private in our lives? Or, is every later generation of humans getting more and more private? When I was in lower sec, nothing was really private. In fact, I only had Facebook near the end of secondary 1. Nowadays, people have Facebook at like what, primary 5? 6? It's not even the age limit to join the social networking site in the first place, lol.

Talking about the young getting what my generation is getting only at around 2, 3 years after their age, it just isn't surprising anymore to see primary school kids holding iPhones, iPads, etc. Wouldn't be surprised even if a kid had a Galaxy Tab in his bag (which I still think is a really stupid and redundant phone), to show it off to the less fortunate classmates.

Sigh.

I'm about to go on again.

Resist.

Haha.

Okay, not gonna go further.

Hmm, I think I shall end here.

I know, so abrupt right? Hahaha..

...

How beautiful the radiant bride
Who waits for her groom with His light in her eyes
How beautiful when humble hearts give
The fruit of pure lives so that others may live

2011-09-21T21:02:00.000+08:00

After the past few eventful weeks of holiday, now comes the point of the holiday that gets boring.

No job, no laptop, no money.

Trying to exercise a little each day, but not really doing a lot. So unmotivated, but I'm not really desperate.

After poly started, my stomach problem came back. Eating less again, but I could safely say, the right portions. But what sucks is, I'm losing weight in all the wrong areas. This cannot be...

Trying to go out whenever possible, but trying not to spend money too.

Speaking of money, I was thinking, and I affirmed -- money is one of the most evil things in this world, so difficult to earn, yet so easy to spend. That is, unless you're an up and coming pop star or actor of Hollywood status. People crave for money and some would rather go for money than love nowadays. Shopping, shopping and more shopping, just to keep up with times, and fulfilling wants.

I also realized something else, as we grow older, we spend more money, become more independant, till we're old, then money becomes slightly more meaningless because there's nothing at our age to purchase anymore, besides health-related products and tools, I guess.

Wonder how the wealthy elderly makes use of their money. Really can't picture them buying expensive stuff for themselves, but I can definitely see them buying costly things for their grandkids or spending on courses to keep their health going.

Another thing I realized, the older we get, the less wants we have, but the more needs we have too. Haha, shall not elaborate further. Think about it... :)

Been trying to find jobs and more jobs only. Finally got a reply from Cafe Cartel, but no reply again. How long do I have to wait? Or am I wasting my time waiting? Even if they replied me to meet next week, and work only starts the days to follow, I'm going to work for much less than a month. That's something I question, whether they are even going to hire me in spite of the short period of holiday I have left..

Ok, on a positive note, looking forward to Saturday. Dom's wedding + STAC outing. Hahaha. Gonna bring my DSLR, with an aim to shoot photos with the right settings, unlike all my previous outings where I just shot everything in auto, auto, and auto. I'm gonna use shutter mode and manually set the white balance, ISO, etc. Of course, focus will still be at auto. I'm not too good at finding the right focus. Hate being deceived by the really nice quality on the screen of the camera, but when you upload to the desktop/laptop, you would see only blur and unfocused photos that not even Photoshop can save...

Oh, Friday's also a day to look forward to, or not. RESULTS. Gah, Nicholas told me his result. I think I will do worse than him (although we are in different courses). I don't know what number to expect, but grades, yes. Expecting a C, for Maths. -.- Oh yes, bro's coming back too! Don't know if I'm excited to hear the stories he's got for me to try to mentally prepare myself for in 3 years time, hahaha.

Okay, that will be all for this entry.

Byebyebyebyebyebyeeeeeeee.

So much on my mind,

2011-09-16T02:10:00.000+08:00

Time is flying so fast.

4 months from now, it'll be 2012.
7 months from now, it'll be the end of year 1.
3 years from now, I'll be graduating and going to NS in the months to follow then.

I used to think, and probably still would in the days to come, that months would take almost forever to come, when in reality, it will all arrive in a flash.

If I am not ready for it now, I'd probably think I'll be ready by then, but truth is, sometimes, maybe not so much..

Gotta learn to make use of time whenever it is available for me.

--

Didn't blog at all about my birthday week, which was actually a pretty eventful week, and I'm soooo thankful for that! :)

The day before, we were having such a high time at the STAC bbq! SUPER FUN! A lot of scandals happened, but I really really enjoyed the day soooo much!! :D

Went to Chili's for dinner on Monday. The food was good, but I'm not a fan of pork ribs. And I learned that I'm not a fan of blue cheese, and that one fact totally made me feel like I'm not a true fan of cheese anymore. Syimir mentioned that goat cheese is the worst tasting cheese. I gotta try it man! ...Although mom said it's not bad (and she can't stand the stronger smells of cheese). Anyway, the chips alone were pretty nice with the cheesy meat sauce! Interestingly, the sides tasted better than the main dishes. But I wouldn't mind going back again, just not too soon, although the receipt tells me I have to go back by the next 3 months to get a certain percentage off mom's bill..

Then on Tuesday, it was Marche together with my Malaysian relatives! It was my first time (like Chili's) and I never actually heard of the place, so it was quite an exciting experience from me. What is unique is thatyou order from stations, so it's like a restaurant with the Kopitiam stalls-feel. I loved the crepe! My choice was chicken ham and cheese. Delishhhh. The pizza and mash were good too. The bread was HARD though, such a pain to cut a portion, or tear even..

Wednesday was a short outing with KJ, due to the fact that I had mass at night. Lunched late at Sushi Tei. Didn't really find the don that nice or anything, comparable to Suki Sushi. I think Suki Sushi is nicer.. Should've gone with the ramen again! Then we went to check out Topman at Knightsbridge, and H&M. Didn't get anything. I thought there was nothing great to buy at H&M for guys. No idea for girls though cuz it's 2 stories full. Guys only get half a story (shared with kids and babies). Went to check out Ion's Topman and other shops. There was this shop where the check shirt was nice, but when I pulled out the price tag, I pulled KJ out of the shop, LOL. In the end, we went back to Topman to get the 2-for-$29 pieces as I liked one (sadly, only one) of the shirts within the range. The rest were just single coloured tees (round and V neck). Then I had to rush all the way back to church (I was late).

Then came Thursday. Bro's enlistment day. Went to White Sands for lunch (it has been YEARS) at a Taiwan cafe. Food was not bad, and the bubble tea was pretty good, and affordable. Yay to pudding milk tea! :D

Went to Tekong after that to take a tour around the school, and got a bit of knowledge of what I am going to face in 3 years time. Looks tough, yet completely reasonable, and realistic (not to mention)! Hopefully by my year, the iPad is given, and don't remove the laptop please? LOL! Met bro again in one of the auditoriums/halls where I watched 4 episodes of 'Every Singaporean's Son', and a repeat of episode 1. Then a talk took place, then the pledge, then the national anthem (secondary school memories again haha). Then we finally settled for lunch and had a taste of army food. Was ok, chicken, rice, veggies, a fruit, what else? Just like camp food. Oh, and fruit punch lol. The 'saying goodbye' part was so abrupt. No time to give a proper emotional wave whatsoever. The enlistees just left while we were still finding our way to a good spot to watch them leave. And with that, we took the ferry back. See you bro in a week.Cannot wait (or maybe not) to hear your stories to come, haha! :)

Friday was an outing with the 2 Unity people! Watched Smurfs with the guys first. Pretty funny, but strangely (and maybe unlike the rest), it didn't leave much of an impact to me. Not much that I'll remember but I'll probably catch it again on TV when it comes out? The most memorable part was when the couple kissed, and this baby went "Eeee!" in the cinema! Ikr, totally no link to the movie itself, LOL. SAD! After that we went to meet the girls and had dinner at Sakura. Chatted and ate and ate some more, hahaha. Then we went to settle at the small 'open theatre' at Dhoby Green and Imm Joo intro-ed some 'orientation' games to play, and there were some pretty funny forfeits, which although started as really difficult, in time eventually became not too bad. Left and talked about DJ's GF after that, haizzz. -.-

Finally came Saturday! My birthday!! :)

STRANGELY, it was like nothing much compared to the past 5 days! Bro wasn't around, dad had work, there wasn't much to do. Went to have lunch before dad left for work, and went to window shop and go to Giant. Went to Hans to meet dad again, and after that my stomach hurt like crazy. Felt like throwing up, but couldn't. SIGH MAX. Spent quite a bit of time in the toilet and eventually went home. :( At least there was still cake at night so :) ! HAHAHA.

Sunday (yes, I still wanna blog about the day after :P) was FEAST DAY!! :) One of my most favourite days in the year, and events in the church! At first, the older people sat together and the younger ones at another table. Chatted about Samuel's rumoured love interest, LOL. Almost tried to push the topic to me but luckily no one was paying attention! :D Jason came to disturb Samuel also, lmao. Yendall had a hugging stall or something like that, $2 for a deluxe hug (longer and tighter than a normal $1 hug). Eventually, everyone had to leave... :(

Then I followed Marilyn and Anthia around for a while till Marilyn had to spend time with her niece, and Anthia was going off, so I followed Berenice to see her sibs for a while, then as I was about to leave, Beatrice invited me to go play games with her. So that elongated my stay! Hahaha! Played and hanged around till the end of Feast Day and we took polaroids, met Lao Ren, Nicole, Selene, Isabel, and Ignatius!! :)

EXTREMELY GRATEFUL towards Berenice and Beatrice for blanja-ing me for Feast Day! Will take nice shots of the polaroids ASAP!

After that, me, Berenice, Nicole, Ignatius and Selene went to 401 for drinks, Nicole's treat! That was when I learned that Belicia and her mom are so alike!! Hahahaha! Talked about jobs and stuff, and then we all left shortly after.

... Ok not really shortly, left 401 at around 2.30pm! :O

--

Yesterday was Michael's flight off to Nottingham. A couple of us STAC members went to surprise visit him before he left! :)

Me, Bryan, Selene, Nicole, Anthia, Zachus, Yendall, Bernard and Uncle Sam! Met Leonard at the airport.

Matthias didn't go, so I was sort of his replacement, but I'm sure if it was Matthias, Zachus would be a lot worse. :P SPEAKING OF ZACHUS, he was talking about how it would be like to be a girl, etc etc. Hahaha. His usual topics. ==

Went to KFC to chit chat and have drinks, and try the double chocolate egg tart.. 1 word: WEIRD.

Played with my DSLR, and took a lot of unglams, esp of Selene and Anthia (credits to Nicole toooo :D) and took some group photos with Michael before he left. Zachus gave him a couple of hugs too, I'm sure uncle Michael would remember them (him) forever, LOL!

Took Bryan's car back with 9 people (excluding him) squeezing in the car! Haha, but it was a fun day.

I love STAC outings like this. I just like the STAC outings filled with pure fun and little seriousness, and no practice (LOL), and sometimes, singing to our hearts' content! :D I promise that if I didn't bring my DSLR to any STAC outing I'll be like :( just like that picnic outing last December, haha. Luckily Nicole had her digicam (remember Bollywood shot). :P

ANYWAY, I wish Michael an enjoyable and safe 3 years in Nottingham! :)

--

Ok, before I really end this post, I wanna do a thank you list regarding my birthday (in order of which came first):

- Mom for the two hooded tees!!! FINALLY DON'T HAVE TO SEARCH FOR THEM ANYMORE!!
- Jason, Bryan, Selene for the wallet! :)
- Family for Chili's!
- My Malaysian relatives, Ah Shean, Ryan, Sherlyn and their uncle for the treat to Marche, and the surprise cake after dinner (credits to bro for his help too)! :D
- KJ for the expensive treat and presents, seriously!! I may never get over it. :O

- Last but not least, those who wished me on my birthday!! :DDD

I fear that I may have left out some names here, but if I remember I'll add it in. :)
Hopefully this is all. :X

OKAY, AND WITH THAT, GOODBYE! Whoa, 2am. An hour plus' worth of words written in this (dead) blog of mine! :)

You live what you learn,

2011-09-06T16:13:00.001+08:00

Having bday outings (mine or others') of course means that I have to spend a lot of money. Yes, yes, typical me dreads the evil doings of money, but well, I guess I can let that go if it's for a bday celebration.

Of course, when it is someone else's bday celebration, I won't say anything cuz it's about the person whom we are celebrating for. But I have to consider how much I am going to spend because I don't have all the money in the world.

If I could just get a job during this break, and earn like $1k, I wouldn't be thinking about all these anymore.

S I G H .

Money is probably one thing I feel extremely unfortunate about. :/ Hate it when ppl think badly of me when I say I don't want to go out because I have no money. It's not like I mean to be budget ok. Why the f would I want to be budget if I had a decent amount of money in my wallet or bank??

Zzz.

Screw money!! GAHHHH. ==

Ok end of ranting.

Quite a lot of things going on this week, and another on Monday.

I just feel so grateful for all my friends, and for those who bother to do something for my birthday. So appreciative of you guys! :)

I also want to thank Jason and Bryan for the early present, Haha, I kinda know what it is alr, but I'll only open it on Sat. :P But seriously, thanks a lot ! ^^

Outing tonight, tmr, Friday and Monday. Seeing bro off for NS on Thurday. Prolly a lunch celebration with my family on Sat, and Feast Day on Sunday. Wow. There is something on everyday this week.

If I die young,

2011-08-25T00:02:00.000+08:00

Bah. Here to update my more-or-less lifeless blog.

Time check: 11.53pm.

Should be closing my lappy by 12am.

--

Half of week 2's gone already. I didn't think that the days of studio project would fly by so fast. And in the first couple of days, it was as though there was really nothing to do after you have finished what you had to do within the day, and now, it's like you finally get to spend more of the time you are (forced) to stay in the freezing cold lab to do your work.

Ok why am I speaking in 2nd person narrative? LOL. I'm talking about myself (and maybe my group actually), regarding SP.

Hopefully we can be on par with the schedule. By right, editing should be done by the end of this week, so that next week we can do the final 'deliverables'.

Fighting~!

Hmm, ok, I exceeded the time lol. Oh well, at least mission 'waste time' was a success.

Haiz, better end this before I start writing more nonsense hahahaha.

Ok bye. :)

PS Aloysious Chooi, if you're reading this, go away, hahaha. Kidding lah. :)

Crawling in my skin,

2011-08-15T23:28:00.000+08:00

Gotta blog to get something off my chest.

I feel guilty.

Today, studio project ended at 6pm+, and I wasn't on fb at that time because there were lecturers around (ok actually at that time was only Mr Ng). Then I went home to get ready for Assumption mass, and to my horror, Sandy told me that bro left for choir practice, and I knew that I had to leave the house immediately, although I knew I'd be late anyway, since by the time I came home it was 7.10pm.

So when I finally left the house with mom and dad, I got really really irritated and annoyed that I didn't know, and Nicholas' reaction to my sms didn't make me feel any better (until he said he was joking, but by that time I was just annoyed I couldn't be bothered anymore). So I decided to tweet without really thinking or caring, that nobody mentioned about reporting at 7.30pm, and additionally that I was annoyed.

Then recently when I got back and turned on my laptop, I saw Selene's STAC post, and checking the time, it was when I wasn't around.

Then on TweetDeck, Bryan replied me that it was on fb.

This made me think a couple of things in the end, for myself to take away.

1) Think before you say anything (tweet). Yeah, I was really annoyed, not pissed, but annoyed. I wanted to get my thoughts on the 7.30pm thing out because I wanted people to know that I was annoyed, so I just went ahead with the tweet.

2) Get an iPhone/Android phone. YES, I know this sounds really...idk what's the word to use, but I'm serious! My phone has no way to see fb and/or twitter, so I can't check for updates at times when I have no internet with me, and that too irritates me a lot. This is sort of why I keep saying over and over how much I'd appreciate it if in November I can get an Android phone...

I probably thought about 2) in the process of being annoyed, so...just ignore it if you disagree. :P I mean, even if you agree, I'd still want an Android phone cuz my phone, for a touch phone, sucks in the sense that I can't even use fb mobile. -.-

I still feel bad.

Other than that, I didn't bring anything for mass, and just gave the excuse that I wanted to rush out of the house so I didn't care.

Whew, that was quite a bit for me to say, and I wouldn't usually openly post such things, but this was definitely something I had to blog about.

Glad I did, it's like a huge burden removed after an hour plus, haha. :)

Definitely won't forget this... I've learned a lesson, but I fear that I will let my mood get the better of me..

God, be in my head.

Lately I've been stuck imagining,

2011-08-10T23:54:00.001+08:00

Today something really affected me, sort of.

Last Tuesday, I was assigned to collect the re-submissions for colour theory. So I decided to take the last few days posting on DVE to remind the class to submit before I pass Ms Gale the disk.

At 11.50am, she came in to find me, and I asked her, "I thought I'm supposed to submit by 12pm?" and she said, "Yes. But obviously you're not putting in any effort."

...

It hit me.

Was I really not putting in effort? What did she even mean by I 'am not putting in effort'?

Reminding people to submit their work to me, and taking time to save every single file I receive, and rename all the files that need renaming, and transferring them from the laptop to the disk.

Was all that...

No effort?

If this isn't effort, then I have no idea what is at all.

Promise this time I'm getting off,

2011-07-31T13:26:00.000+08:00

Listening to Time's Up by Ashley Tisdale. Never gotten tired of the song, never gotten tired of the album Guilty Pleasure, never gotten tired of the artist. Since 2009, haha. :) I guess people do not appreciate her music or take her music career seriously because she's from Disney. But I've always overlooked that ever since this album came out.

--

I realized something ironic. When people say that they dislike something about you, and you change, they say they don't like that you've changed. And then you're put in a really confusing spot, and you're probably thinking, "What? Then what do you want me to change to?"

It's like people cannot accept you for who you are, but at the same time, they cannot accept your changes.

Another example would be a geek whom a bunch of cool kids keep criticizing and advising him to change his style and all, and when the geek starts listening to them, he gets criticized further by the same people that he's trying to be someone he's not.

I know this is really random, and you may be wondering why am I posting this. To be honest, it all really just started with a single thought on the word irony.

Many things in life are ironic.

Then I realized something else, irony, contradiction, these are things that we tend to do, but we just never realize it until someone tells us so. These things, even looking in a mirror may not tell you that you're being like that.

Truth of the matter is, we're all hypocrites. This is a world where every single one of us is a hypocrite, and it's impossible to never act out hypocrisy. But it doesn't matter if people learn this or not, because in the end we'll still be hypocrites. Like hating being asked to do the dishes, but asking someone who also hates doing dishes to do it for you. Or hate being picked on, but picking on others.

Yes, we're imperfect, but we need to learn our limits.

I'll keep reminding myself that every now and then.

Staring at the phone,

2011-07-21T01:03:00.000+08:00

It's been a while since I've updated anything on this blog of mine that's rotting...

It's odd cuz for the first time, there's no assignment to be due tomorrow that I haven't done, and I feel so relaxed. I will definitely get working on my Desfun tomorrow and start studying for my Colour Theory test, but there's no rush at all (ok, maybe except for the test...)! It's rare to feel like that in Poly, and I'm only in first year!

Well, schools been alright so far. Stressful, but alright. I've met poly life with several ups and downs already, and it's not even the end of the first semester.. But overall, life in poly is good good good! Thanks to the amazing and wonderful friends I have in DVE, funny, fun and caring, like everything I could ask for a friend.. :)

However, assignments are slowly piling up, getting more challenging. It's definitely not easy, and when I look at other people's works, I'm like, "Damn I wanna submit work of such standard!" but I look at my procrastination levels and what nots, and I feel that I can never make it there unless I change all my bad habits.

Easier said than done, sigh.. But at least I'm trying...?

Looking forward to Sept hols.. 5th to be exact (3rd if I consider Saturday the start of the hols). Then 6 weeks... Still don't know how I'm gonna spend the 6 weeks. Hopefully I do spend it well? Get a job if possible, or find some way to earn money without doing illegal or wrong business, haha. I guess I should be looking forward to the first week. Marking down the 5th, 8th, 10th, and 11th. Special, important dates I guess. Every other day that week is more or less free, so if there's anything that's gonna happen, like outings and stuff, I'm free on the days not mentioned earlier. :)

I definitely am hoping to have at least 1 outing in the hols, but I really hope I don't end up going for too many outings.. ==

Yes yes, going out with my friends is definitely a priority for me, but without the ease of cash, it's really difficult. How many outings can I actually go without spending any money anyway? Birthdays is another thing, cuz it's a special occasion, more or less, but I just hope normal random outings don't cost me a lot...

Heh, I'm real scared of buffets now, expensive, and I hardly eat till it's worth it.

This is all coming back to that day when I just felt like throwing up but couldn't. I still wonder if my stomach shrank after that day. Forcefully trying to get things outta my system, but couldn't get any...

Hahaha, why am I drifting away to talk about throwing up?? So...not the right thing to mention.. LOL.

Hmm, I think I've posted enough nonsense already ba. I'm sleepy. Eyes about to close. Yeah, I can feel it. So I'll end of here ba.

Oh btw, downloaded Maple a week ago, and this is prolly the third or fourth time I got to open the game and play it. Currently a level 40 Mechanic. I'm in Aquila, so if you wanna add me for God-knows-why, my IGN is BXBONG. I only have 1 friend (Bryan) and I forgot to add HX, LOL.><

Ok, bye. :D

You're like gravity,

2011-07-06T22:58:00.002+08:00

God's really blessing me now.
Thus, I should get working on my PPD...!

Alright, I shall gogogo! :)

I can do better,

2011-06-29T21:42:00.000+08:00

It's been almost a month since I've blogged.

So, how's life for everybody?

Umm, I really don't know how to start off with this entry, hahaha.

2 weeks of term break ended recently, and it wasn't really productive till like the last couple of days. But I did enjoy the break, although it didn't exactly feel like one. I'm glad I got to spend time with my friends and family during these 2 weeks, and catch up with my bass pals from HI choir: Zie, Louis and Marcus.

Now it's back to school, and each week just seems to be passing by faster and faster. Tomorrow's the last school day for the week! Real fast, wow... I'm already looking forward to the semester break, but I'm a little confused, because I hear and notice that week 15 is seemingly our last week, but that break only comes in September! Plus, the timetable states that the last week is week 17, so I can't count down. From what it seems, now till September is definitely more than 6 weeks away... o.o

Nonetheless, I think poly life is pretty good. Stress, yes. But I love my friends. All so fun to be around with, hahaha. I feel so blessed. Hope it stays like this throughout the 3 poly years. :)

Already got a couple of assignments to submit next week. Thank goodness there was no assignment given today. But the current assignments I have are definitely not easy. Both require lots of creativity, and time. I should really get started. If not today, definitely tomorrow. Who knows what Ms Eda could assign us tomorrow? And I still have to do comm skills with Yanxin, but for that I already have an idea. Gonna share it tomorrow and see what happens. ^^

Collecting your jar of hearts,

2011-06-08T18:58:00.000+08:00

Yes! Finally!

Tomorrow is the last day, so Semester 1 is coming to a close. Finally. A well deserved 2 week break is ahead of me.

But wait, there's so much to be done during these 2 weeks. So many assignments to complete, of which all are graded! Killer, seriously. Plus there will be a maths remedial on Thursday, which means I have to postpone the outing with Louis and co.

This is sad... ):

But on the bright side, two weeks of waking up later than usual and getting lotsa sleep! Yay. :D Although there I times I do not take advantage of this, by sleeping at like 3, and waking up at 9 or 10... Not even 8 hours, but I consider waking up at 10 the perfect timing. 9 and before may be too early, and 11 and after would almost be lunch time, thus no breakfast...

I'm gonna really try hard to spend my time wisely and complete my assignments, hopefully before the holidays end. Or else I'm gonna rush like a mad dog when semester 2 starts, and I get much less sleep cuz of assignments, rather than because I spend too much time surfing the net..

Having said that, going out is also important. Hanging out with friends is a want as well as a need. Thus I cannot let the Green Lantern outing be cancelled, and hopefully there will be another outing planned for the two weeks.. STAC outing, maybe? Or *hopefully* I finally can re-learn pool with HX and co. Who knows?? (:

On a side note, Ms Eda was really nice today. Was so surprised when she didn't react to my forgetfulness in submitting my VAPD last week, phew. Having said that, I'm gonna have to redo my PPD because of the change of subject, and possibly present tomorrow. D:

Dislike presentations, but guess presentations are what help us grow to be more experienced in what we do, because we get construction criticism, or maybe even just criticism, and we learn from there. Can't just moan and groan that Ms Eda is unfair or whatever. Yeah, maybe she is, but our future boss may be worse. So let's just try our best to get used to her 'strictness' during photog presentations, okay DVE? :D

Ok, that will be all. Today is less about my day etc etc, maybe I'll do that another day. I feel like blogging about Malaysia, because it's something worth blogging about. But then again, there have been quite a lot of things worth blogging about but I just didn't post it here, such as USS trip with HX and co. That was really one of the best outings everrrr. 8D

Hehehe, memories.

PS. I really like my class a lot! A fun loving and comical class, and the people are nice to be around. I know it's week 8, but I haven't really got a chance (or rather haven't said) to say how awesome DVE people are!! :D

Two is better than one,

2011-05-28T12:52:00.000+08:00

You and me
We could both start over
Just the two of us
We can get a little closer

Shall sum up the week. Pretty much a good week, I guess.

--

Wednesday was DVE's first photog module outing. Being paired with Atiqah, I was technically 'grouped' with Jia Li, ZhiSheng and Wynne.

There wasn't much to shoot at Little India, so we kept walking till we reached Farrer Park. Lunched at Saizeriya (City Square Mall). That was when everyone started becoming very high. Atiqah and Zhisheng drank 7 cups of drinks, while me, Wynne and Jia Li only drank between 2 to 4 or 5. Haha. After that they had to keep going to the toilet every few stops we went..

Then we headed for Cheenatown. There were more things to take there, but still not a lot. We kept entertaining ourselves and being high and all smiles. :D

By the time we decided to stop, everyone started feeling tired, as if we were having hangovers, haha. Sat at Macs in Chinatown Point to review photos, then chatted a bit more until 4, then we decided to head home..

We were supposed to have our photos uploaded to Flickr by 6, but the uploader was slow ttvm. I finished at about 6.15 siol. Late, but I think there were later submissions, so okay-okay ba. ^^

Was a really fun day for me, and I'm sure they all agree! ^^

--

Thursday was fun cuz we finally began filming for our news video for Comm Skills! :D

Me, Jaden, Hannah, Nadiah and Ming Jie went to the ____ to begin shooting the videos. It was fun to watch everyone act out their scenes, and also screw up a couple of times. The funniest (and most xiasuay) was when we had to film our 'coffee shop' scene, and Ming Jie slammed the table and I shouted, "You siao ah?!" like DAMN loudly. I think other people were looking at us. >.<

I think Hannah did a good job in her role btw, hahaha.

*trying not to spill any beans here so that it'd be more interesting to see on Monday. ^^ At least you know there's a coffee shop scene LOL!

--

Finally came Friday.

We had to go back to school to do Colour Theory. Meh.

Ms Gale's kinda funny though, sometimes. I like the part where she mumbled through her words, then the class started laughing.

Stayed back to do Maths and Comm Skills (again) with Hannah and Nadiah.

Went home for a 5pm+ lunch.

Unfortunately before that, I was trapped in the lift. For like 3 minutes. The buttons were not working, and the stupid announcement kept coming out in all sorts of language. ANNOYING. I wasn't really afraid cuz I knew that no matter how long you're trapped in a lift there'll be oxygen to breathe, LOL. But I was annoyed cuz I was hungry and no one seemed to hear the alarm. I think I pressed it 3 or 4 times. -.-

Eventually I spammed the open button and finally got out. At first it opened a tiny bit, then pressing a little bit more, it just opened.

Most damnit annoying part was when the lift went up after I got out. =.=!!

Sheesh.

Anyway, had a light lunchner.

Oh yeah, my Avril Lavigne autographed cd finally came in yesterday! ^^ So happy, bwahahahhaa. :D

Then went to meet Elgin and Adam at 6.30pm Saizeriya (AGAIN !! :D) for dinner.

Adam and I were late, but Adam was late in the sense that he couldn't see us waiting at the mrt station, and went to the top floor of CSM, when the restaurant was at B2...

I was still hungry so I could handle the portion. Usually Saizeriya's portions are just nice at filling you up, and it's cheap, and you have free flow of drinks for just $2.80. Unless you're the sort who doesn't like to drink a lot (not alcohol uh), it's totally worth it!!

Best part: Adam paid for drinks! ^^

Ya, so took pics and chatted till 11pm. It felt short, srsly. We stayed in Saizeriya to the point when the staff had to tell us that they were taking last orders, followed by that they were closing! Never stayed in a restaurant for so long before, ahaha. Adam wanted an update on where the 4sin people have gone to, so we were trying to remember who sat where and just said the school they went to.

There was a lot of *nonsense* we talked about yesterday, haha. :P

Aiya, then later Adam wanted a group photo. In the MRT station. Like a paiseh. So many people.. Haha. We decided to just take our reflections. Elgin wanted to take at a panel where a lot of people were around, wts, haha. I suggested the panel next to it, then we took, and our train just nice came, then Elgin's hasn't left, so we all could leave at the same time. :D

--

Yeah, was a pretty good week I guess.

Later on I have to meet Jaden and Nadiah for Comm Skills, then at night there's house visiting - the FINAL one, UNCLE MICHAELS'S HOUSE! ^^ (although he's not new, quite o-l-d uh. :P)

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew,

2011-05-27T02:02:00.000+08:00

Woah. First time I stayed back in school for 6 hours, of which about 3 to 4 were spent filming for our comm skills assignment. It was fun, but a little rushed. But I do believe that we can do well. Just hope we can deliver well on Monday!! (:

One word to describe tmr: sian.

There's make-up lesson for colour theory. 1 - 3, Okay, somewhat reasonable I guess, but still sian. Still have to try my best to make it for dinner at 6 with Adam and Elgin.

So many assignments, so little time.

Okay, maybe the time is sufficient, but I just procrastinate a lot..
(For example, I'm not done with Maths)

I think if I stayed in school to do work, I would actually be able to do my work, haha.

Things I'll never say,

2011-05-17T23:57:00.000+08:00

If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see myself go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say

Okay, I kinda edited one line. :P

It will just keep spinning around in my head,

2011-05-14T17:19:00.000+08:00

Time is moving real fast.

It's gonna be week 5 of poly already.

REAL fast.

Struggling with DFun assignments.

Guess I'm really not good at drawing.

Mom has been encouraging me that my dotting is nice, but I got a friggin D+ for my first assignment (which is, thankfully, still a pass, but still sucks either way), mainly due to not 'following instructions', which technically the only instruction I did not follow was that I didn't leave a prominent gap between each box. Using correction tape was never mentioned, so I'll just take that as a lesson learnt...

I've just learned what some ppl call that Mr Ng in class lol. Damn funny, but it may or may not be true. His actions are .

Ok, currently dying at cross-hatching.. Can't believe it's harder than dotting. My initial thoughts were all wrong... :/

Life is no nintendo game,

2011-05-06T21:31:00.000+08:00

Wow, the GEs are finally coming to an end REAL SOON.

That means I don't have to hear people talking about who they support and who they are against, etc etc.

Personally, I didn't really give a damn about this because I'm not of age yet, so it's kinda pointless even if I voice out my opinion, right? Unless I'm able to make an impact on an adult's decision, what I say would be pretty useless...

But.

If you were to ask who I support,

I'd say PAP.

Long story...

Mom really influenced my decision though, but I believe that her reasons are right.

It's as easy as comparing HDB flats.

If I compared the blocks around me, and my own block to the blocks near SRJC, those blocks look rather rundown, and no one is doing anything to make the blocks look more 'fresh' (I can't think of an appropriate word to use rn..).

Furthermore, I was told that those blocks are under the care of another party...

Whereas for my block and those around, well, I can vividly remember seeing the blocks in the process of being painted, and I was quite glad, cuz they looked old and boring...

This is just one example, and mom also likes to mention the HDB flats comparison thingy too. ^^

I mean, think about it, unless you're THAT desperate, you wouldn't want to live in a HDB flat which may look old. Okay, maybe even desperate people may not want it. LOL.

Who knows? Hahah.

Also, I just thought it was cool that Xiaxue also supports PAP, LOL. And her posts DO make a point. So yeah, thumbs up to that. (:

Oh, however, I read a letter last night. The "KUAY TEOW Hot and Nice" sounds like a joke seriously, and after Rachel mentioned the magnet thing, I went to take a look. Hahahaha.

:X

--

Still have to complete my DFun assignment.. I'm not done yet, but I'll be done prettaye soon ! Sphere tomorrow. Wonder how much time I need to dot a sphere... And not a tiny sphere! Dotting on 3x3 squares was tiring enough. A sphere? No idea...

Hmm, after all the 'experimenting', I guess I prefer this style of typing. It's easier for me, and I feel more like myself, and not trying to be like others, because I feel that their style of posting is neater.

But then again, maybe it's because this post is not a random 'I feel like blogging about my day' entry. Haha.

Okay, guess I'm done with this.

Anthia & Zacchus' house tmr! ;D

Okay bye! ^^

Don't let me go,

2011-05-04T00:08:00.000+08:00

And suddenly,
You're all I need
The reason why
I smile.

--

Time is really flying fast.
3rd week into poly already.
So many assignments each day.

Thank goodness there was no assignments given today.
But there's a test for colour theory soon...

Oh, and a quiz next week for asian cinema..

Lol, in y2 there will be another GSM for asian cinema, waseh.

Oh yeah, today's movie was quite nice.
Really sad though.
Especially the ending.
But there was spoiler cuz suddenly got laughter, lol.

Ah and I also learnt today that there's is some sort of CCTV-style screen on the lecturer's com. Can check what we are doing on the com sia.

LOL.

Scary.

But it was an interesting discovery I guess haha.

--

Okay.

Done talking about school.

I don't know if I'm ready to present my collage tomorrow..
Walao. I think I'm not ready.

Hopefully I'll be one of the middle one. LOL. That to me is the best.

Haha, okay that's all I'mma be posting.

See ya. :D

Make up some stupid story tonight,

2011-04-27T00:36:00.001+08:00

How long has it been?

Close to 2 years.

--

Feel like blogging.

Sometimes I feel that I should be more organized in my entries.

Yes, some blogs do inspire me to do that, and also not to yap too much about my day and stuff.

But hey, it's a blog after all right?

Like an online diary.

A journal.

I mean, doesn't an average person make use of his/her journal to write about their day, or talk about notable things that happened recently in their lives, or maybe even others'?

Plus, it's a dangerous world here, on the Internet.

I have probably repeated this several times that I have no intention to private my blog because I hardly post anything personal, and even if I do, I tend to delete or erase them in just minutes.

Then again, sometimes I don't.

Funny.

Don't really know if it's because I have the mindset that people won't be bothered to go to my blog, thus making it redundant to private my blog, or because I do want people to read my post.

Not trying to say that I want to seek attention.

Just, I don't know..

Maybe it's like because I don't know who to talk to about any personal matters, that I decide to just post it here. And maybe have someone tag or sms me regarding the post.

Nah.

I feel like I'm talking to myself now.

Oh wait, technically I am...

--

I shall now talk about poly life.

It's definitely not easy.

The long days feel like a drag (okay, not really), and the short days feel like an advantage...

Hmm.

An advantage to do something productive, I guess.

I don't wish to go back to the secondary school days, where everyday I came home, lunched, and started up the computer, and wasted hours on it.

Yeah, perhaps I still do switch on the computer real quick, but nowadays I feel that I don't really have much to do on the computer anymore.

Yet, I can use it for HOURS, which annoys me a lot, once I look at the time and find out how long I've been using the computer for...

I still do.

That sucks.

BAH.

Gotta do my best to break outta the habit.

Today, I felt that God was helping me, and telling me to do some work. I wanted to carry on using the computer, then slowly, one by one, words came at me..

"ARE YOU GONNA BATHE?"

And I had NO CHOICE. Those few words are not really a question, they're an order.

So after dad asked, I knew that he had a hidden agenda.

Yeahhh, he just wanted to use the com haha.

So after I came outta the shower, I knew that I couldn't use the com.

That was when I decided to continue with where I left off with my VArt assignment.

Also just to play on the safe side, Ms Eda may want to take a look at our VPADs tomorrow, so why not just add on to the work I did?

Okay, actually it's not really a lot.

My work is also rather small, so it doesn't look like much...

Oh, and I officially hate maths again.

Yeah.

Okay, this post is ending damn abruptly cuz I left this page open for an hour and didn't type anything after "My work is rather small .. "

Okay, bye. :D

(sorry lah, got distracted by other stuff, and I gotta go sleep lol)

Till the world ends,

2011-04-24T17:23:00.001+08:00

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!! (:

I'll start with Holy Thursday.

Met Nick near my block and went with him and Bro to go to Serangoon Gardens. It started raining once we were there! So we had to WALK with umbrellas, and at first si Nick keep keeping the umbrella from me, zzz!

Yeah, anyway we reached SFX and participated in the mass.

Mass was 1h30min long, but it felt short, honestly!

After mass we went to SFX's 'Mary's Shrine' (I don't know what they call it there) and did 2 decades of the rosary.

Following that, we walked to SVDP and did the same, then finally walking back to Nativity.

Overall, it was damn tiring.

But I enjoyed it. (:

--

Then came Good Friday!

But for some reason, it didn't feel like Good Friday..

Maybe it's cuz I don't have school on Fridays? :/

Idk.

It just felt like a normal day.

The only reason why I could rmb it was Good Friday was cuz I had mass with STAC and I didn't eat breakfast and lunch. Just dinner.

After Good Friday, went with my family to eat prata at Kovan.

Was quite hungry, so I ate quite a lot lols... :/

On a side note, I gotta watch how much i'm eating and what I eat...

--

Easter Vigil was just yesterday. Mass was pretty okay, considering it was really longgggg.

Had to chiong cards lol. Basically was out the whole day, came home at 6+ and did the cards around 7 till 8, then I had to get ready go to church already. So I split the work with Nicholas in the end lols, since Ignatius wasn't around.

Mass ended past midnight. By the time I finished the cards, it was like 2am+ already...

(That's why I'm damn sleepy now)

--

Then today, was the big day -- EASTER! :D

Had to do psalm ,wahhh.

Oh, and the plan to stick the chocolates on the card failed lol. We were both like late. Supposed to meet at 6.45 to chiong, but I reached at like 6.55, and Nick was well, later. But earlier than usual! LOL.

After mass, practice was CANCELLED ! :DDD

So we went straight to BBB's house for waffles!

It was soooo good, hahaha! There was milo and teh peng also LOL, COOL!!

Oh, and for once, I kinda liked iced wine! Uncle Sam brought it, ehehehe. (: There was also leftover bread from Thursday's walk, LOL.

Then later on was damn funny. Nick showed me and Belicia magic tricks.. Belicia's trick freaking funny (retarded) LOL. Joke joke joke. Hahah.

Then I started sharing about my first time to Nicholas' house. LOL. The toilet thing. HAHAHA. Then later Beatrice used it when bro wanted to use the toilet HAHA. Seriously joke manzxzxzx. Hehe.

So after leaving the BBB's house had to pass Nick his water bottle, zzz. Lol.

I can never keep quiet about the toilet thing. HAHA. Just kinda ridiculous lol but it's funny...

--

Week 2 of school starts tmr!

Don't know whether to look forward to it or not...

Everyday I'm shufflin',

2011-04-22T21:05:00.000+08:00

Hoho, my title quote is from Party Rock Anthem. I usually dislike such songs, but like G6, it becomes addictive in your head after some time.

Anyway, week one of poly is over.

Fast right?

Time just flies, and we don't even realize it..

Anyway, I'm gonna test myself and see if I can remember all the assignments I was given during the week.

- News video project (with Hannah, Jaden, Nadiah, and Ming Jie)
- Shoe box project (with Rosli)
- "Who Am I" journal + collage project
- Photography project related to Singapore Spirit (with Yan Xin)

Woo, 4 projects in a week. 1 project a day. Madness right? Many people are complaining about their assignment load already! Guess we all have to learn to adjust... ><

I'm determined to start on the research part of the photography project later tonight or tomorrow. News video & shoe box will be done in school, so left with the "Who Am I" project. Thank goodness I sent myself the pdf for VArt. ^^ Can't exactly rmb what to do, waaaaa.

Gonna get laptop tmr! Shall ask Bryan to send me CS5 package. In the mean time, I'll need to get R drive. It's like prolly the MOST important drive throughout my 3 years. It's like gonna be my books & notes, but all in the computer. Well, the plus side is that I have no textbooks...

Oh and not to forget, I have to consistently check my NYP email account. Which I haven't been doing. >.<

Haiz.

Still adjusting to poly life.

Kind of miss secondary school life.

But this time it's different.

I'm trying very hard not to procrastinate already!

I do feel that for any individual projects, I should just go straight home and do it unless I need any reference from the library. For any group projects, Wed and Thurs = BEST TIME to discuss cuz we end early!!

Oh well, hope I can cope with all this. All the best to us poly freshmen in these 3 years!! ^^

Love like this,

2011-04-13T00:57:00.001+08:00

Okay, summarizing today:

- Went to The Cathay
- FREE CONE DAY!
- Queued for 30 minutes.
- Amanda & Amelia were taking their time.
- Left for Bugis w Nick, Weilong and TC.
- Went to Bugis Street
- Bus-ed back after walking around.

I'm too lazy to blog properly.

My eyes are feeling like weights are pressing down on them (so compo-ish right??)...

All those crazy things we did,

2011-04-08T17:49:00.000+08:00

SIDM freshmen orientation is officially over!

These 4 days were pretty much alright. Wasn't dreadful, but wasn't fantastic either, sad to say. At least I had more or less a good time. ^^

Just wish that they didn't put us into groups with different people from other courses, because I really wanted to try and get to know my peers more. It's really not easy for me, cuz I keep quiet when I'm with new people, because I don't know what to say to start a conversation.

Like Hoo Yi mentioned, there's always an outcast in every class. Hope I don't end up being the one. :/

It is weird though. Inside my group, I talked to some of my classmates (or at least said a few words). At least it assures me that I am not seen as 'invisible' in my class.

Maybe I should hope for the social etiquette module. It's in my 3 choices anyway...

And as the OGL last night said, we have to be crazy people. Hope I can be like that eventually, in a good way. LOL.

At least within my group, it wasn't difficult to converse with the peeps. I told them the sponge joke and 'one long joke and two short jokes' joke. Ahahaha. Xavier wanted to kill me after I told the latter.

Oh right.

Yesterday was actually meant to be a screwed up day, the reason being that I brought my dslr, my USB, but I forgot about my battery!

Wtf.

That moment when I realized it, I felt extremely f-ed up. I wanted to get off the bus and go home. But I was already gonna be late.

Then while at NYP, I realized that I should've gotten down to get the battery cuz there were people who were way later than me. Zzz!

But I guess I eventually got over it. Xavier was the camera + video guy. I took down notes which in the end were pointless, because we didn't need to do any powerpoint presentation, which we wasted loads of time on...

And someone kept disconnecting the port from the macbook, which was annoying. But I didn't wanna say anything. I don't wanna say why lol cuz I don't wanna mention this person here...

Anyway, we chionged the poster and video. We only had 30+ minutes to do the video. We submitted it incomplete in the end.

What really made my day was while announcing the top 10 groups, we were called!

o.o''

Weird much.

As shocking as it was, I was pretty happy after that.

I just didn't want to win the top 3 cuz that would've meant that we'd have to go on stage and everyone would've seen our video, and gone, 'Wtf are the judges blind to put them into top 3?"

But still, top 10! I'm still a little, "Are the judges blind?" but it's satisfying. :D

The winning group's video was really good! Like professionally done for first years. ^^ I hope I can reach such standard, cuz I don't really do videos, besides Sims 3...

Hope that I'll have a fun-filled and crazily good 3 years in DVE, and a shoutout to the OGLs plus Jix. You guys are prettaye cool people. 8D

I'm not gonna wanna let go,

2011-04-04T22:43:00.002+08:00

I feel the need to blog/share about the beatitudes like right now, because it's what I got for my lenten resolution. Throughout the week, I will have to apply them in my life. Hopefully, I'll learn to apply them even after this week...

Okay, so anyway, I found a website that practically summarizes each beatitude. It's worth the read. And I can learn how to apply each one of them in my life. (:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
"Poor in spirit" means to be humble. Humility is the realization that all your gifts and blessings come from the grace of God. To have poverty of spirit means to be completely empty and open to the Word of God. When we are an empty cup and devoid of pride, we are humble. Humility brings an openness and an inner peace, allowing one to do the will of God. He who humbles himself is able to accept our frail nature, to repent, and to allow the grace of God to lead us to Conversion.

It is pride, the opposite of humility, that brings misery. For pride brings anger and the seeking of revenge, especially when one is offended. If every man were humble and poor in spirit, there would be no war!

"Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
If we are humble and appreciate that all of our gifts and blessings come from God, we grow in love and gratitude for Jesus Christ our Savior. But this can only produce mourning and regret over our own sins and the sins of this world, for we have hurt the one who has been so good to us. One also mourns for the suffering of others.

St. Gregory describes another reason to mourn: the more one ascends in meditation of Divine Truth, Beauty, and Goodness, and then realize the poverty of human nature, man can only be left in sorrow. When one contemplates that we were made in the image and likeness of God and lived in Paradise, the Garden of Eden, and compare that to our present state after the Fall, one can only mourn our present condition. But the sentence continues that they shall be comforted, by the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, and hopefully one day in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Mourning in this context is called a blessing, because mourning our fallen nature creates in us a desire to improve ourselves and to do what is right!

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
St. Gregory of Nyssa taught that the Beatitudes build one upon another. A humble person becomes meek, or becomes gentle and kind, and exhibits a docility of spirit, even in the face of adversity and hardship. A person that is meek is one that exhibits self-control. St. Augustine advises us to be meek in the face of the Lord, and not resist but be obedient to him. Obedience and submission to the will of God are certainly not in vogue these days, but they will bring one peace in this world and in the next.

"Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."
A continuous desire for justice and moral perfection will lead one to a fulfillment of that desire - a transition and conversion to holiness. This is true for all the virtues - if you hunger and thirst for temperance, you will head towards the goal you have in mind. St. Augustine, in his discourse on the Lord's Sermon on the Mount, notes the correspondence of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit and their necessity in fulfilling the Beatitudes. For example, one must have the gift of fortitude so one may be courageous in seeking justice.

"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."
Mercy is the loving disposition towards those who suffer distress. Love, compassion, and forgiveness towards one's neighbor will bring peace in your relationships. We say in the Lord's Prayer: Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. As we are merciful to others, so our Heavenly Father will be merciful with us! Jesus reminds us that whatever "you did to the least of my brethren, you did it to me (Matthew 25:31-46)." St. Paul calls for the obedience of faith in the beginning and end of his Letter to the Romans (1:5, 16:25-27). The following are ways to be merciful to your neighbor, as well as obedient in faith to Christ our Savior.
Hopefully I am able to apply all these within the week. Otherwise I'll just extend it into the next.. No harm, right? :D

Okay, today was day 1/4 of SIDM orientation!

At first, I felt like some emo loner with no friends because I didn't know anyone at all! Plus all the talks made my butt hurt, and the feeling of standing up after all that sitting was a pretty nice one. LOL.

Everything seemed to pick up a more or less after lunch, when I started talking to some people. Oh, and the games too! They did help me and others to get to talk to those in my course more.

I believe that there's still much to be seen and heard from the people in my class. I haven't really opened up much either. Typical me when with new people.

I wish I could be the kind of guy who knows how to start a conversation without having to think whether it will be awkward. Such people have an advantage, although the talkative and way irrelevant AND/OR those who hurt with their speech without realizing it are unfortunately, the opposite...

Oh yeah, and we ended at 5 today. Cool much? But my guess is since tomorrow it's starting at 9am, it will end at 6. Since Lynn mentioned that the book's timing is a mistake. If it ends at 5 again I'll be happy though.

So, what's gonna happen tomorrow? Not really sure if I wanna find out...

Yeap, despite all that's happened today, the overall hype of day one didn't really make me feel completely hyped up for day 2 and beyond...

Just hope that tomorrow will be a more fun (not stressful) day. ^^

Stay close to me,

2011-04-03T22:48:00.000+08:00

Yay, the 5 days of home-rest are officially OVER!!

Yesterday I panicked cuz there was a lot of blood after I finished brushing my teeth. At first, mom presumed it was due to me biting food too soon, but in the end I established that it was cuz I brushed too hard against it.

Can't wait to get the thread removed. ^^

And I'm so thankful for Twitter, because without it, these 5 days would've been the most boring days ever...

--

Okay, so tomorrow till 7th April I'm gonna be in NYP (not staying in) for orientation.

What's irritating is that there are no details on what's gonna happen tomorrow and what we're supposed to bring, or how we're supposed to dress. According to Ahlek, must wear jeans leh. But I feel like wearing shorts.. Maybe tomorrow I'll wear jeans first, then following days I'll just wear shorts.

BAH.

Why does it have to be 4 days? ):

Don't say that it's good cuz I get more chances to make friends.

Beatrice told me that you'll have way more than enough time to make friends even when poly starts before things get real busy...

Course-wise, I'm still thinking how it's gonna be like. Will I die? Will I have to work like mad and hate it, or enjoy it? Because I'm really not sure what's gonna be happening.. Besides Maths. Damn it, so not looking forward to that part. And there's TWO... ):

Haiz, hope poly life would be, despite stressful (yes I'm already predicting that), will be good and fun, and just happy, throughout MOST of the 3 years.

And the days feel like years when I'm alone,

2011-03-31T15:08:00.000+08:00

Day 3 of 5!

Whoo~ 5 days are almost up. Didn't think each day would pass by so quickly. I mean, it's already 3pm now!! :D

So anyway, yesterday I spent the night with some people and one thing led to another.

At first, everything WAS a joke, then things got serious...

So in the end we decided let's plan an outing to USS.

Actually for a long course of time during the conversation I thought it was a joke, but then we decided on a date and even talked about finding other ppl to go, so I believed it was serious.

But in the end, the results still seem like only the four of us are going. Hope more ppl will go, and hope it's an even number, so that everyone has a partner for the roller coaster. ^^

I'm so looking forward to this! Roller coaster + Shrek 4D + camwhoring = MUST!!! :D

Rejoice and love yourself today,

2011-03-30T16:24:00.000+08:00

It's day 2 of 5 of home-rest...

I'm already getting used to the temporary changes, such as only taking in fluids (or soft food, none yet) and napping, which I will be doing soon, in the living room, coz every other room is taken... ;/

Can't wait to go out again, and I'm glad that it will be a Sunday, cuz I don't wanna miss out on STAC. ^^

But I hope that by then I can just eat like a normal person again, cuz Monday till Thurs there's orientation for SIDM students in NYP, although it would save me some cash.

Hmm..

Don't know what to do other than TV, napping, drinking something, and using the computer. Should I read? That hardly happens for me...

Hmm...

Oh well, guess I'll go nap now.

Ciao!

Did it ever cross your mind,

2011-03-29T18:19:00.000+08:00

Hello.

Just did my wisdom teeth extraction today.

The process went really quickly, because one moment I was getting a jab to sleep, and another I was resting with gauze in my mouth. So the whole process was painless, yes. But the after-effect (like when you remove your gauze to put a new one, or drink something) hurts. :/

So when I finally got home, I rested more, literally for hours.

Now I'm awake and the gauze is still my mouth because the bleeding hasn't stopped. Long, huh?

--

Okay, so I guess I shall talk about last week and yesterday.

Summing up Friday,
- Went for funeral mass in the morning. Bro and I were the only STAC ppl there...
- Went back to HI to celebrate Ms Yee's b'day.

I don't really know what else to post for Friday, lol.

--

So anyway, Saturday I went out with fam to NEX for a drink at Wendy's. I almost destroyed my lenten resolution cuz I almost ate the meat in the chill, and mom suggested it! LOL. The shake was a little hard to drink. I could've taken a spoon to eat it, that would've been easier.

Then we went to do other things till 6+, then we HAD to go home cuz bro and I had lent practice. So went home, showered, and left to go to church.

Lol, joke sia. Nicholas wanted me to escort him in, wtssssss. Then later Uncle Sam gave him vocal training, hehehe. So cool. Established that Nicholas CAN sing, but maybe he's just lazy, hohoho!

--

So yesterday, I couldn't go out for Jeleen's bday outing, cuz of various reasons, one which regarded today's extraction.

So instead, I slacked at the com for almost the whole day late in the afternoon till night.

At night, Twitter got fun as I started tweeting with HX and Sokman. We were talking about games lol. HX suggested Maple, then me and Sokman suggested Audi. Then later Sokman just suggested Viwawa.

SO WE REALLY PLAYED VIWAWA OKAY LOL.

We played Wahjong.

Play until bored.

Then went back to Twitter and after that, dad wanted to use so I decided to stop.

This is the only thing notable of the whole of yesterday cuz the rest of the day was just sucky and meh-ish.

--

Yup so that's all I wanted to blog about bah.

Okay, bye! (:

Tell my heart it's not goodbye,

2011-03-27T23:09:00.000+08:00

Haiz.

I was more or less cheerful just now, but then now I have to decide between family's advice and going out with friends..

What to do sia.

Hate it when I have to make such decisions.

I'd rather rage than sit around and wait all day,

2011-03-25T14:21:00.000+08:00

Gonna do a short post before I get on with other activities for today.

So in half an hour, I'm gonna go running at the usual spot. I'm wondering what if I run everyday during the weekdays, of which 2 times I go to Punggol Park to run, and if I'm in the mood, I'd walk home. It'd save bus fare also, since I'm now using adult fare, which sucks so bad. That's one of the things stopping me from running at Punggol Park actually. It's better than running at my 'usual spot' cuz they actually provide the distance there, whereas where I'm running now, I just give myself 10 to 15 minutes a day to run, or a certain number of laps. I realized that 5 laps is just too little. I'll try 8, or 10... Unfortunately, this may not become a habit because I'm gonna start poly soon. I would only be able to keep up with running at least twice a week until projects and schoolwork pile on me. God knows when that's gonna happen...

Just ate baked potatoes for lunch, courtesy of mom. It tasted milky, for some reason. The sour cream ruined it. I was expecting it to be Jack's Place's potatoes, but the sour cream tasted weird. Maybe cuz it was light sour cream, or maybe cuz Bulla sucks. Then again, plain potatoes are not nice, it's like eating rice or pasta alone... That's staple food for you.

Anyway I wanna blog about yesterday but I don't think someone would approve of it, tweet about it only like scared already... So I'd better not. But it was a good day, except for the part when I was waiting for the bus. I definitely said too much. You thought it was nothing cuz you *for some reason* know everything already..

Like what?

It's like I trust you but I shouldn't, lols.

If I told Amanda anything, I would definitely get a lecturing. She confirm scold me one.. Hahaha.

20 minutes..

Wow, I blogged for the past 10 minutes.

Yeah, I guess I really do think before blogging, but it's not as bad as compared to Louise. I rmb once she was at our house and she was using Bryan's lappie to blog, she had to open Notepad or MS Word to type everything out first. Like, why not just use your blog and type, you can draft it even if you aren't done, and delete it if you don't wanna post what you just wrote. Oh well, everyone has their own style...

I believe, too, that some things, I type as I'm thinking, maybe that's why I get rather personal on my blog sometimes, and start deleting things...

15 minutes...

In case you're wondering, the reason why I'm not going down now is cuz I just ate at 1+ and I'm estimating that by 2.30 I should be able to run without my stomach aching due to the food, not because I ran till I'm all worn out... Don't like the feeling of 'about to puke'... ):

10 more minutes!

Okay, I don't really know what to post already, haha. I think I've said enough. This is really an extremely random post, hahaha. :D

I guess I'll go get ready and do some stretches, etc.

You turned it all around,

2011-03-24T17:18:00.003+08:00

What if no one knew anything?
What if nothing happened then?
Would anything have changed?
I wonder.

Can't be helped,
how much I wonder about these.

What if I told you what I wanted to say?
What if I told you now?
Would anything have changed?
I wonder.

Can't be helped,
how much I wonder about these.

What if you saw this?
What if I wanted you to see this?
Would anything have changed?
I wonder.

Can't be helped,
how much I wonder about these.

I think I wonder too much.
I probably think too much.

Can't be helped,
how much I wonder about us.

All this talking to you,

2011-03-22T12:52:00.001+08:00

Been posting rather personal things lately, then deleting them a few minutes later. Or even the next day.

It's like mumbling because you want the person to hear what you're saying, then saying nevermind later, cuz you decide you don't want that person to hear what you just said.

Fffffffffffff.

:/

Hope I 1) get into Viscomm or 2) stay in DVE. ):

Last night I blacked out I think,

2011-03-19T01:25:00.002+08:00

Sometimes we think, "This person is damn annoying/irritating." but we hardly think, "I think I'm being damn annoying/irritating." in various situations. I would know of one but I don't wish to say it hehehehe.. There are even times when both parties are thinking either one is annoying.

Gah.

A lot of thoughts going on in my head.

But once I want to type it out, every single one of them leaves my mind.

Boo. :/

Without you I lose the way,

2011-03-14T15:37:00.000+08:00

I'm looking forward to poly. Of course the first few days would be your best/worst days of poly life, because it's the easiest days there's gonna be during the 3 years. And new friends...

I really wonder if I'll get to have lunches with my old friends in diff courses... I highly doubt it though, cuz I think it'd be difficult to have the same breaks, and most of us would already be having lunches with our course mates, I guess. So that would be very tough.

KJ just asked me about poly hols, I just checked, there's 16 weeks of break in total within an entire poly year. In comparison to secondary school (which is 1 week in march, 4 weeks in june, 1 week in sept, and about 7 weeks in nov/dec), it's slightly more. But I bet most of the hols will be for studying/projects, which is like secondary school in the end. Haiz. That's what all holidays are meant for, throughout schooling life. Not that there's any long hols during work life, you only get certain day offs and public hols, that's it. Long breaks during work life would be if you aren't working at all/freelance.

Hopefully I can get stamps later to post my re-appeal letter. Haiz, really hope it's a success. It's not that I don't like DVE (but it IS because I am against joining Industrial Design), but I'd prefer a course with more of my interests. So if this time I fail to get into Viscomm again, I'll just stay in DVE, wtheck. Just Industrial is a nonononono. (sorry amelia, no offense to you :X)

You say that I'm messing with you head,

2011-03-13T22:44:00.003+08:00

Okay, so things worth mentioning during the past week...

On Friday, received calls from the Viscomm lecturer and Registrar regarding my appeal letter. Turns out it wasn't an error (unfortunately), so I have 3 choices: accept, reject, or re-appeal. I choose the third choice, because I may have another chance of getting in. I have no interest in Industrial Design, so the first is out. And the second comes in only after the third fails.

Today, sharing session was interesting. Everyone made good points from the reading. And for the resolution part, I got my own resolution back, so that's one resolution for me only! ^^ Nicholas kena-ed 'I will help my youngest brother with his work without grumbling'. Hope you make it, ahaha. After that, we played frisbee! Was fun, and Belicia is a pro, and she laughs a lot too. Amazing, haha. Then we played some wall hiding-catching game, haha. Crazy. First time I was caught, I had no idea what to do, so I stayed behind the wall. 8D

Oh yeah, Beatrice taught me about my posture. It felt a little like slouching, but it's more like tucking your stomach in, haha. I'm gonna do my best on making that a habit.

Nothing to post already, okay so there's not much to post about the week, or maybe it's just my brain not functioning right...

Well, if any, I'll just edit.

Till then, bye. :D

2011-03-10T20:50:00.004+08:00

It's great that the appeal was a success, but...

I WAS TRANSFERRED TO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

COURSE!!!!

I'm annoyed.

It's the way I feel,

2011-03-08T00:11:00.001+08:00

Here's a thought: when you list down your all the qualities of your potential love, do you expect every quality, or do you rule out a few eventually when life moves further and further?

Do you even require anything of that potential person?

--

Hello!

I feel like blogging today hehe.

So it seems like Nicole's taste in music is very good! Just discovered recently she likes OneRepublic, and now she's into tobyMac! :DDD

Okay, so now I see people are doing those temp jobs (like a few days only), and I wish I could do those jobs too, cuz right now I can only work till mid-march cuz I have to undergo wisdom teeth extraction then. ):

Sucks.

It's not that I've no money. I just don't have a sufficient amount rn. It's one of the reasons why I can't wait for poly to start so that I can have my weekly allowance again.

Speaking of allowance, I can't rmb who asked me why I don't have allowance now. If I did, I wouldn't be looking for jobs anymore. I would be happily slacking at home or going out without any worrying over money (unless in a certain week I over spend).

Oh yes, and until today, I don't know a single stranger who's in the same course as me. Should I ask on fb? I'm only scared that no one replies/likes. :///

Okay, that's all.

Bye(:

PS. I edited my wishlist section. A bit buay paiseh hor? LOL. ;x

All those crazy things you said,

2011-03-06T23:43:00.000+08:00

Nothing much to post...

I initially wanted to mention bout something, but I decided not to in the end... It's nothing important anw heh.

I guess I'll just end this entry with a song. (:

At first, I didn't really like this song, but it just grew on me. Now I can't get it outta my head!

La la
La la la la
La la
La la la la

I like your smile
I like your vibe
I like your style
But that's not why I love you
And I, I like the way
You're such a star
But that's not why I love you

Hey
Do you feel, do you feel me?
Do you feel what I feel, too?
Do you need, do you need me?
Do you need me?

You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you is you
Being you
Just you
Yeah the reason I love you is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you

La la
La la la la
La la
La la la la

I like the way you misbehave
When we get wasted
But that's not why I love you
And how you keep your cool
When I am complicated
But that's not why I love you

Hey
Do you feel, do you feel me?
Do you feel what I feel, too?
Do you need, do you need me?
Do you need me?

You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
And I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you is you

Yeah - Oh.
Oh.

Even though we didn't make it through
I am always here for you
You

You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know

You are perfect to me,

2011-03-01T22:22:00.000+08:00

Went to Paragon Medical today for check up - the final step to completing poly enrolment!

Was supposed to meet Nicholas at 8.30am but he was late cuz he was busy preparing 2 yugioh decks. So despo to play sia, he.

Met Keane at the clinic with his mom and cousin (I think).

So anyway the whole process was pretty quick.

During the urine test, the male toilet was being washed, so we could only use the private male toilet. I was thinking that if someone couldn't pee, it would mean that others had to wait for him till he finished peeing into the styrofoam cup. It's also amusing that there's an amount we need to fill lol wtf.

Basically after that everything was easy-easy.

So when everything was complete, went back to Hougang with Nicholas for a budget lunch (lolololololololol). HX joined us too. :D

Then after lunch, I HAD to play yugioh with Nicholas zzz. First time I lost cuz I was a bit lost after not having played for years. Plus Nicholas' deck damn zai one lor. So second round we switched decks, and I won! LOL. :D HX was my assistant ahahaha. But it's a really good deck haha. Or maybe it's just pulling power, idk. Cuz my pulling power for the first deck sucked. And Nicholas mentioned that both decks are modified to be as good, so yeah it should be the pulling power of the cards...

After that we all chatted at the interchange, then 153 came and HX and I headed home.

Sian, arrived back to realize that the door was locked. Haha, at first I was like, I'll ask HX whether I can go his house, but I decided I didn't wanna be a bother so I decided to walk around the block and take pics! :D Most of them turned out pretty nice, should be editing and uploading soon. I even tried to take pics of birds, but my lens cannot zoom very close, so I had to chase them. I felt like I was on a hunting trip sia. No matter how quietly I moved, they probably could sense the vibration of my steps, thus moving faster and faster the more I attempted to approach them. I managed to capture a bird flying, but it wasn't really focused. I'll see if I can do any editing to make it look nicer...

Hmm... Oh yeah! Turns out the 1-on-1 mcdonalds deal worked! I didn't get to use it though, lol. Didn't eat at macs. Mom managed to use it though, so it isn't completely wasted. It's not too late to use it now for supper, hahahahaha. But guess I'm not gonna do that... If you could use it for McCafe though, that would change EVERYTHING. :D

Okay, that's all today. Seeya~~~

Oh right. Nicholas is gonna create a Twitter acc. O: Now that's a shock, considering that he hardly uses his FB account, and his iTouch is filled with loads of games man... A high score of 13k+ in that ninja jumping game, lol wtf. (I wonder how Jason's doing with that game haha)

We live by faith and not by sight,

2011-02-28T23:22:00.000+08:00

You're the reason why I smile.

Haiz. Finally done with 3/4 of the package! Left with medical. Thank goodness that one got extra 1 day to finish. Which means tomorrow. Also, thank goodness I'm not a health science student, cuz they have to do jabs and all that shit. Means it's longer. And more costly... Anyway, I'm finally ending this enrolment thing tomorrow.

F I N A L L Y .

Going to Paragon with Nicholas.

A bit siao one, all the NYP-recommended docs are damn far, and unless we go to those docs, we have to submit ourselves along with everything else, which I can't since I already submitted my forms. But I decided Paragon since I'm familiar with the place... Hopefully 9am in the morning doesn't attract too many ppl, and it's Orchard, so I don't know how many NYP students would go there just to do a check up.

What's good at least is that Nicholas owes me lunch! But Paragon is expensive, haha. I may be good and decide that we go back to Hougang Mall or something... :D

If he lies I'll rip his YGO cards..

Okay, nah.

I'm not (that) bad. Unless he promised me a $70 meal, I'd prolly do that, hahaha.

On the side note, tomorrow is 1st march. Which means goodbye Feb. Which also means 1-on-1 macs, provided you have the coupon. I just discovered this this afternoon. So I saved it in my phone. So I must go macs tomorrow, plus it's only valid for tomorrow, so bobian.. D:

Okay, that's all I'm gonna post for this entry.

See ya! :D

If we could escape the crowd somehow,

2011-02-27T22:42:00.000+08:00

Argh, stupid package.

2011-02-23T02:29:00.000+08:00

It's interesting how I just posted about our course schedule etc etc and dad came home just now with the package.

So I didn't get into Viscomm after all. Could've guessed it. My drawing sucks anyway, it's worse in painting.

I guess this is a big good luck & all the best to myself in Visual fx.

And to those who got into a course which either wasn't in any of their choices or is not something they are especially good at, all the best to you too! (:

Cheers to the start of a new schooling life (I guess)!

'Cuz you are all of my dreams come true,

2011-02-22T23:23:00.000+08:00

I guess it's time to update blogger.

Hmm, so still no reply from Registra. Should I continue waiting, or should I come to a conclusion that I've been rejected from Viscomm? I don't know. The lecturer couldn't confirm with me a definite time that I'll receive any information, but my guess is that if I don't receive anything, it means that I'm staying in Visual FX.

Also, I thought that we'd receive our poly schedule thingy in the middle of this month? It's been a few days past the middle already. Keep in mind also, Feb only has 28 days. Means it should be out by this week or next Monday.

--

Okay, I'm seriously addicted to FFVIII. The storyline's damn tight, plus for a 1998 game, the graphics are pretty good. Well, nothing surprising though, it's Squaresoft.

I'm somewhere in disc 2 now. It's the so called final battle, but guess what, there's until disc 4. :/

Well, I don't really want this game to end yet, cuz there's no romance betweeen Rinoa and Squall yet, so obviously I'd be bloody angry if sparks don't fly around them and the game is over. I'd personally send in an eleven-years-late complaint letter to Squaresoft, haha.

Anyway, I think I just really figured out the strategy of playing the game, though it's a little too late. My characters are all a lil sucky, except for Squall, amazing 3k HP while everyone else's more than halfway behind.

Okay, enough game talk, haha.

--

Don't really have anything to post already.

Oh, I intend to go to Far East ~~Movement~~ Plaza (poor joke attempted there) to hunt for a hooded t-shirt, cuz Amanda said there are such clothes there! Yay. I remember Peninsula Plaza, waste of time manz. Not even one. Thank goodness Elgin was there otherwise I'd have killed myself.

Haha, alright, that's all for today.

Sigh, Nicholas owes me big time (a GOOD lunch) for Sunday.

Bye!

PS, bro said he's gonna buy a PS3! Although I really want to have a WII at home, a PS3 is pretty much more than good enough, yay! :D

Just another picture to burn,

2011-02-16T23:19:00.000+08:00

So many things I wanna post, yet most of them I do not want anyone to know. Sucks. Life's like that.

Not where the storyline ends,

Life with adult fare sucks, for now. I believe I'll get used to it eventually, but now it's kinda painful to see $5 taken away from you in a day, and only for travelling. Plus food and etcs would be over $10! Madness. Another thing I miss bout sec school days, hmm...

I was supposed to give Nicholas a morning call today for church, but I was feeling lazy so I smsed him. Apparently, he didn't wake up. But if his phone is on vibrate, then if I call him, wouldn't he STILL not wake up?? Idk, he insisted I call him, so I guess I shall next week.

Went to Eric's house on Monday. His house lock is greasy, and my hand immediately had stains on it. Thank goodness Eric makes sure we wash our feet. LOL. Elgin and CH (yes, THAT CH Amanda, IF YOU ARE READING HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE) were there. Played Blackjack for a while. CH got 4 blackjacks I think, plus a double-ace. Mad sia. But never earn a lot cuz we were playing budget blackjack. ^^ I lost...

50cents.

Kk, Tuesday went to Peninsula Plaza with Elgin. Can you believe it? Whole floor sells clothes, BUT there's not a single short-sleeved hoodie shirt! Damn it, I'm going to hunt for a Topman which sells one. Hopefully it's not pricey (below $30 PLEASEEEEEE, w/ or w/o sale!!!)

Thursday was fun. Pranked someone, and tried to prank another someone. One of the outing ppl owes me starbucks cuz I attempted to prank the second someone, hehe. 8D and the attempt was a failure, but I still get a drink! :D:D Called the first person who I successfully pranked. However, ~~Nicholas~~ the person who I pranked was only interested in Yugioh cards. =.=|||||| like crazy. He only cared about that, more than 'his happiness' haha.

Okay, nothing much to post le. The realization of how much money adult fare can suck from you is scary enough to make me not wanna go out too often already. Went out 4/5 times during the weekdays this week (only didn't go out on Friday). 3 times if I do not count Eric's house on Monday.

Kk, that's all for now. :D

See ya.

Same old tired lonely place,

2011-02-07T18:13:00.000+08:00

Went to Eric's house today. When I got there, Eric and CH were playing DotA, Elgin was playing PSP. Then we gathered in Eric's room to play Blackjack. Lucky boy CH got idk how many blackjacks and one double ace! Madness.

Sadly there was no mahjong, lol. >.<

Slacked and chatted, insulted Eric a lil, then everyone decided to leave.

Wanted to go City Square Mall to check if INZONE still has the super awesome deal, but I didn't wanna go alone. Elgin was going to HI, HX was lazy to go out, haha. So I think I'll go tomorrow...

This week going out quite a few times. Wed and Thurs going out. Can't wait for Thurs, outing with Amanda and Amelia, though I have no idea what's gonna happen on that day. We just settled to go out, but the plans, idk. I only know that we're gonna do night photography, so that's something I'm excited about. ;D

Okay, have nothing to talk about anymore. Shall end here.

Bye.
today i got over you.

I don't know who you are but I'm with you,

2011-01-28T23:54:00.000+08:00

I'm currently finding ppl who are interested in buying new years' clothes with me (for CNY lah :D). The shop's called INZONE, at City Square Mall, Farrer Park. The deal's this: if you spend $300, you get 50% off, so it will only cost $150. Damn worth it lah! The workmanship there is pretty good.

What you'd find there is pretty modern style clothes, like those button casual shirts, hoodie shirts, shorts, or just simple nice t-shirts. Sorry I didn't take a look at the woman's side, but they have both genders. I would guess the girls' side is nice cuz my mom almost wanted to buy one, just that it wasn't in her colour. 8D LOL.

Okay, 'advertising' is done. HEHEHE.

Nothing to post.

I just hope that registration will go well. I don't mind trying new things, but if I end up disliking it, I'll have to suffer for 3 years. I don't want that. I want a transfer. At least an attempt. At least TRY. I'll start writing tomorrow. Hopefully I can submit by Sunday, hopefully it's not too late.

So many repetition of words. @@

Hehe.

Someone go out with me so I can play-test-experiment with my DSLR!!

Okay, bye. :D

You wouldn't answer my call,

2011-01-26T22:12:00.000+08:00

Summing up the day,

Woke up at close-to-11am to check posting results. Got into NYP, Visual FX, disappointed. Attempted to appeal, but most design/media courses cmi, so mom came to read up on the course I got into and convinced me that it was suited for me. I decided to wait for bro to come back to seek advice.

Went out for lunch. Kovan at pizza hut. Dad was unusually free to ask us out for lunch, so why not? Didn't eat bfast or lunch at home anw. Came home, sims 3-ed all the way (srsly damn bored lah). I was playing with cheats and I accidentally made a family lose their child cos I summoned some npc without realizing.

Then during dinner bro and mom managed to convince me to stick to the course, so I felt more positive about it. But I guess I'll still feel sad cuz I can't go SP. :/ or get into any visual comm & media design for that matter. ):

Oh well, life goes on.

I believe God has planned something great for me.

One day, I guess. (:

So let's go,

2011-01-18T01:15:00.000+08:00

It's been close to a year already.

Saw Avril's live performance for her new single weeks ago. Now when I look at the coments, idk why people are saying that Avril is lipsyncing/not using her own vocals when in the obvious truth, she's singing live. No playback, no autotune. It's just so damn obvious. Firstly, you'd notice that there are background singers, who are her band members too. Secondly, she's a little off at some parts of the song, and also, she's saying instead of singing like during "love hurts" and "I can't stop", plus when she says, "What? What? What? What the hell!" she only says two "What"'s, and you also do not hear the echoing lyrics like towards the end of the song. Obvious obvious obvious. But some people are just too oblivious to these things. Sometimes, they prolly just wanna find fault with famous people. But I believe Avril would not be knocked down easily. (:

If you wanna see the video, go search "Avril Lavigne What The Hell live" on Youtube. If you wanna hear the studio version, go to her fb page, and select "BandPage". If you have to like the page, ...what's not to like? :D

Okay enough about Avril.

Saturday was a full outing day. Two outings in fact, with two different groups of people.

The first was with STAC. The purpose was actually to have one last outing with Louise cuz she's leaving for Aussie soon. We went to City Link to makan at NYNY. Bryan attempted the Giant Yankee Burger challenge!

Big, huh? Check out the fries! I always thought it was the burger, but it's the fries that makes this a complete challenge. The fastest person who ate the whole thing did it in close to 21 minutes k! That's less than half of the time...

Unfortunately, Bryan didn't manage to finish in time. It was definitely close though. Good attempt at least! (:

So we ate and I watched/took photos of people playing pool. Ivan and Matthias like pro sia. Not like lah, ARE pro lah. Totally own everyone flat. LOL.

So after that we took a group photo! (:

Then I had to go off already, sadly, for the next outing!

--

So I took the train to Buangkok MRT stn and honestly when Keane called, I thought his directions were a joke after telling me to go past Fair Price. Cuz it sounded odd, past the guard house and down the swimming pool. And coming from GOH KEANE, haha. I only realized it when I was there lah.

I would consider myself to have been there early, though I came after the supposed meeting time, but there were very few people, and HX and the others were coming later (5 became 6.30!!!).

It was raining, which was bad since bbq needed fire, and well you get it. The guys' idea was that they put umbrellas above the bbq pit so that it does not get affected by the rain, otherwise sparks would've flown, literally. This family was prolly also having a bbq and when they saw the umbrellas, they said the idea was innovative, haha.

As usual, I didn't eat much at the bbq. But this time was cuz the NYNY food was prolly still in my stomach, haha. Tooks lots of pics (which eventually I had to narrow down due to photo limit on fb) and went to Keane house to slack and play other things. Played Deal and Band Hero. Both were fun. :D Went home when it was close to midnight.

Really have to thank Gary for helping me take pics that night! And I even learned how to do light trails!!!! :D:D:D Gary was so enthu to learn also, hahahah. :D

Okay, that will be all. BYE!!

I got a feeling that it's gonna be alright,

2011-01-15T00:55:00.000+08:00

Life is getting boring. Nothing exciting. I'm not detatching myself from the social world. No one is talking to me, but I can't blame them cuz there's no reason why anyone would have a chat with me. So I would like to thank people who do randomly drop me smses cuz at least it lifts my boredom. THANKS! :D

So my 1 week (only) of work has really shown me what it's like to work, even if it's just part time. It also taught me that I'm not suited for F&B, so I'mma cross that out. I'm interested in retail for part time though, but it's not easy to find. I also learned that it's not worth doing a job with just soooo many tasks and with a shitty pay. Not worth it at all. The only thing that's worth it is the end-of-day meal and free ride home from your parents, which not everyone can earn (the free ride thing). Yeah, I quit. Looking forward to the job offer Darien sent. It's worth it. I turned Chingay down too. I think just doing this 5-day job is good enough for me. Plus the weak pay from my 1 week of F&B service, it's good enough to return my bank money to its original state. Yeah, earning back money, with (hopefully) no intention to spend any, unless needed.

Today I told mom I wanna go peninsula plaza to hunt for a hoodie shirt, cuz according to Ignatius, I can find one there. I even said I was WILLING to pay for it myself, hehe. I'll try to make it true this time if I do go there. ^^

Tomorrow will be a loooooong day. STAC + class outing. STAC first. NYNY then BBQ. Gonna see Bryan take on the NYNY challenge. The big burger thing. Will be prettaye interesting huh. x)

Okay that will be all. I'll end off here with a quote of lyrics from a song, seeya! (:

There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter
Faking smiles
Same old tired lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was
Enchanting to meet you

I got nothing,

2011-01-10T21:40:00.000+08:00

Today was results day.

I guess that I'd say I'm pretty satisfied with my score, cos it's better than what I expected, which was ironically my goal. Thank goodness for CCA points too. I believe that when people ask me what my score is, and when I tell them, they will either react "wow good/not bad!" or "huh?! are you serious?!??!!" (negative rxn) and not 1 reaction only. Like mom and Ber reacted well but bro reacted not so well.

Anyway, collection of results was pretty fast-paced. In just a matter of minutes everyone got their results. Didn't join the 4sin guys for lunch. Had to go popular to run an errand for mom, then just went home like that. Yida was on the bus also, so got someone to chat with.(:

Overall, maths was disappointing, science was pretty much surprising. Everything else was more or less expected? I guess...

I know I'm supposed to feel disappointed for English, but I don't. I don't have the explanation for this feeling.

Well, overall satisfied. Hope I get into the course I want. Otherwise, I'll just feel upset, and this satisfaction will become a regret, that I didn't study harder. But that would be too late anyway, wouldn't it?

So much self-reflection, lols. I guess I'll log off. Damn it, went to so much trouble yesterday to try to fix the Sims 3 problem, but never got to try out if it is working well again. Shall do that now.

Signing off!

Love hurts whether it's right or wrong,

2011-01-09T00:43:00.000+08:00

While I was desperate for $, I hunted for a job so much. The desperation led me to work at a low pay place. After a week, the desperation was lost. So I decided to leave. Anw, another job to come soon, w better pay. (Y)

***

O level results on Monday. Excited/nervous. Yep.

Went to SP today w Nicholas. Nicholas is interested in engineering (EEE), never knew hahaha. These 2 girls were explaining their final year proj, damn boring. Sadly, design school has no exams so there's nothing to exhibit. But thank goodness there were booths to explain and showcase their courses. So there I decided, I know what course I wanna get into. The score doesn't seem too difficult to get (for me).

May God be by my side during results day. Amen.

***

Finally updated my blog, eh? Twitter is really like taken over blogger since twitter is a whenever-wherever thing, while blogger requires the computer, which may not always be available for me. So I may only update my blog once a month or hopefully more. Yep, I wanna at least keep the archive up. LOLOL.

2010-12-14T15:37:00.000+08:00

Zzz. ASF cannot be accessed. Dunno if it's a problem for everyone, but I couldn't go in for a few days now. Wonder if there are any requests from my siggy stand..

--

Hope I get the job Ignatius told me about. Nicholas and Chenhan will also get the job, ahaha. Not bad leh, just that I must be very careful to not drop any food or drinks otherwise I GG. x.x

Other than that, life is boring. Going out whenever I can... Mapling at home, though not all the time. Hehe. If I get to level 50, I'll be happy. Cuz I've never ever gotten that far. Yeah, just get lazy after Mapling too long bah. Dual Blader is nice to play btw. ^^

Okay, that's all. Bye. (:

2010-12-09T19:13:00.000+08:00

There is no denial that I am neglecting blogger as I am neglecting Tumblr. Dunno if it's due to laziness or forgetfulness. Well, I'm finally blogging again (also to make the archive consistent :X).

Monday was Amanda & Kai Jie's birthday outing! Was fun. We went to watch Rapunzel in 3D. The movie was great, funny lol. The chameleon was my fave character haha. But Edmond prefers the guy, idk why. Maybe cos he wants to look like him? Lol, anw I like the credits song from the movie,lols. After the movie we went to Astons for dinner. It's worth it. And you get 2 sides! Everyone wanted to take pictures with their food! Hahahaha. After dinner, we went to really celebrate the birthdays. There was no cake, but there was yoghurt! 2, infact. haha. Took group photos there before going to Fel's house to chill and play mahjong.

The next couple of days were the usual boring days again.

I want a job badlyyyyyy. So boring at home la. Everyone's working now, so it's also not easy to go out with friends. Needa go NEX veh soon!!

You know we're superstars,

2010-11-24T14:25:00.001+08:00

22nd November marked Prom Night ! I had a good time there, snapping pictures and being with friends. The entertainment was also good. Mr Maran was a brilliant host, ahaha. :D

Now with a DSLR, I do feel like going out to take pictures and practice on photography. I keep procrastinating lah, not just about this, but other things too.... Hmm... Soon soon!

Lack of mood to write anything. I'm boreddddd. >.<

K, bye. (:

You've reached the ranks of all the rest,

2010-11-20T23:37:00.001+08:00

Life with a DSLR is great. I'm pretty contented now. <3

I was enchanted to meet you,

2010-11-15T12:58:00.002+08:00

It's been some time now. O levels are finally OVER! It was over last Friday. But now I'm rotting at home, thinking about my DSLR, trying to get a job.

Yesterday was disappointing. Went to Courts to get my DSLR. To my horror, EOS 1000D was sold out! Gah. Wasted trip. Felt damn sian lah. Mood just sank. :/

I am not gonna wait till SITEX on 25th Nov because firstly, it's after Prom, and secondly, the sale price of all Canon products will be the fixed sale price on Canon SG's website. I did my research last night, over and over, after an annoying row with mom and bro. They just kept insisting that it will be much cheaper. Forget it. Gonna buy it before the weekend.

Oh right, yesterday was confirmation! Not for me, I had that last year. This year was Isabel's, Shirin's and Amanda's turn! Our fellow STAC confirmands. Lols, this year's confirmation was entertaining loh, unlike last year, so sucky the dinner. Made us sing on stage some more. Not that we did, bwahaa. Leslie performed! HAHA. The Faggots, wth, at church? Hmms. Then some confirmands performed after that, and we stayed to chat a while, then we left after that. Then that person, I just totally could understand how he felt, cos I've been there.

On Saturday, I went to AFAX with Eric, Elgin, Xavier, Yifeng and Sean. Hmm, it was okay. But kinda odd, cos from what I heard, Anime fans usually stayed for hours, but these guys only stayed on for like 2 hours max. I would've stayed longer. I COULDN'T FIND TOBY. LOL. I wanna to take a picture with the GOOD BOY from Akatsuki! Too bad, missed a chance. Some girl was holding a 'free hugs' banner for him. Aha. Took a picture with Domo. If only it was a person in a Domo costume, would be cooler, haha. That should be my DP soon... :D A bit crazy larh, Eric bought a sword for idk what purpose, then Xavier bought Gundam models, reasonable bah. Then went to KFC to eat lunch. Joke joke joke, then Louis they all came, more joke. Haha.

Then at night I went for dinner with STAC basses. Dinner was pretty nice. Loved the chicken wings Uncle Sam ordered. Also, I discovered like frogs' legs. Tastes like chicken, lol. still went for dessert at Xin Wang. Super huge and delicious stuff there! :D

Prom's comingggggg. Can't wait, hehehehe.

Okay, nothing to post le. Nothing interesting happening yet.

I can't say enough is enough,

2010-10-13T17:54:00.000+08:00

Okay, this is just to keep my archive consistent, lololol.

LAME. >_<

Girl you're amazing just the way you are,

2010-09-22T19:05:00.003+08:00

M I A . (till after O's)

Though I might do short updates every now and then.

2010-09-12T21:25:00.001+08:00

This week,

- Studied. (The effort was there, but I feel that it's just not enough. I'm prolly just too distracted..)
- Led to ignorance of homework. (Yay, I cannot even remember what homework I have besides Maths!)
- Went to Sakura with friends on Wednesday. (As a form of a 3-people birthday celebration!)
- Went to school for Physics on Thursday. (Sort of a waste of time, but okay.)
- Went to church afterwards, at night. (I see red peepos.)
- Friday, MY BIRTHDAY! :D
- Went to Pasta de Waraku (Y)!! Then went out for teh tarik at night. (Pretty much did nothing much but slack for the entire day.)
- Had a fun and enjoyable Feast Day today!! :D:D
- Took a picture with a Mediacorp artiste!
- NICHOLAS CAME LOL. (He woke up at 10am+. & shit, it looks like he changed specs, jealous. -.-)
- We earned $700+ from our stall! (None of which comes to us, but wtheck la.)
- Marilyn won 4th prize in fishing lucky draw! LOL. :D (On the other hand, I got not a single lucky draw tix...)

-

Slept 3 hours today in the afternoon, after I showered. Damn it. Wasted sia. Now it's 9.30pm, gosh. :/

I've only completed Maths homework. Other subjs, I really dunno.

This whole holiday was really focused on just Maths and Physics -- A LOT. From tomorrow onwards, I've got to even out what to study each day, and I'm pretty sure it cannot be just ONE subject per day, so it's gonna be a crazy remaining weeks for me..

Kudos to all O level candidates! A couple more weeks to freedom! ^^

Don't you ask me if it's love my dear,

2010-09-06T14:24:00.000+08:00

September holidays.

Gonna be filled with studying, studying, going out, more studying.

It will be a great week, seriously.

Though there might be chances of it getting ruined,

but I'll look on the optimistic side. B)

Say you don't want it,

2010-09-02T22:11:00.000+08:00

Hello.

Tomorrow is gonna be a looooong day, just like today was.

Today, was only long cos I stayed back to support the assaSINs in the inter-level soccer competition. Well, although they didn't get through to the finals, they did their best, and at least there was no lose from them! So, kudos to themmmmmm! xD

The si SCH played with HX's handphone for so long that I only went home at around 6pm.

I only did 1a) of my geog 'corrections'. Doing the rest tomorrow.

I feel so sleepy.

I've been feeling sleepy since 9pm.

Weird. I don't usually feel sleepy at 9pm. >_<

Prolly cos I was also moving stuffs from my orange file. Now it's uber thin (again)! No more hand carrying (again)! ;D

Okay, short entry today. My entries are not consistent, partly cos I keep forgetting to blog. Haha. Nearly 600 entries already, over a course of almost 3 years? Haha. Not bad la, longest thus far... (:

K,

bye.

I couldn't help but fall,

2010-08-28T22:52:00.000+08:00

Went to get Kelvin Go's recommended book today. Gonna use it in a while! It's kinda last minute, but I'm positive it'll be of great help. (:

This morning, some STAC members came to test/play with buttercream and icing sugar. It was interesting, playing with the colours and trying flavours. Technically, we only tried peppermint and blueberry. Blueberry was shiok! Can't wait to try a GRAPE flavour! XD

Decorated some muffins and doughnuts. I've yet to upload the photos. It was fun watching people 'design' their muffins, and it was also interesting to do my own. Nicole did a 'monster' muffin. LOL.

After that, went to Heartland Mall to get the book, then crossed over to Domino's to meet Jeleen and Immjoo. Jeleen was the first to arrive, shock. LOL. We went inside first, then Immjoo came.

Domino's is not cheap at all. But guess it's reasonable? The breadstiks were really good!! Plus, canned drinks cost $1.80, while 1.5L bottles cost $2! LOL, insanely weird pricing. But it's a smart way to sell off the larger bottles. Hehe. I still have it at home. Zzz.

Anyway, Immjoo photocopied 3 sets of EM O level paper 2 2009 for us. 1 for me, 1 for Jeleen.

The 3rd was for Aaron, who came late. Haha. Sleeping uh.

I failed the paper, shoot! But it was quite rush. >.< I should slap myself. I was a little weird today. Paper was rushed, skipped some questions without realizing it, and worst is...

I CALLED JELEEN NADIAH, TWICE. =.=

Something was really wrong with me. HAHA.

Guess it's how I tried to call Jeleen. x.x

Amanda's accent. HAHA. Okay I shall never use it again, LMAO. It's for her and her only~~

Okay, continuing. Immjoo went through the mistakes. I was a little distracted lol.

Then we saw HX!

Tried to call him. I think he was with his whole family. Not bad ar, they all walk there one. I'm too lazy to walk to, I only walk fro. Hehe... He only answered when I messaged him later on..

Then after all the going through of mistakes, we went to Heartland Mall. Went to BBQ Chicken. My first time leh, LOL. They shock dao. :X

I also shocked dao when I asked mom if she knew it existed. She said yes! Arghhh... ._.

Yeah, so I ordered the Cutlet & Cream Sauce Pasta. Quite nice, yet simple! ;D

I had no sides though, so mine was, well, cheaper.

I still had to order a drink kkkk, I had my 1/2 of 1.5L of coke left with me. =.=

Yup, so after a nice meal, we headed our own ways home.

Guess that I should go out more with these people to study. They are in a way a good influence. I mean, I'm usually told that it's not good to study with friends cos you might get distracted. But I guess not, not with them. Haha. ;D

This ain't a fairytale,

2010-08-26T15:30:00.001+08:00

Prelims results suck real bad.

Well, at least I'm officially awakened to start doing something to save myself. My goal remains, although this prelims really showed my potential at its worst, no doubt 30+ points already. Unless Lit saves my ass. =.=

I've decided to go buy a POA TYS book, whether I should get topical or by year, I am not too sure. Oh, and Kelvin Go's suggested EM TYS suggested answers & working book. I'm sure it'd help me for questions I can't do in my TYS. I hope so!

It's happening in less than 2 months (?). So I'll have to learn to use my time wisely..

God, bless me. & I'll keep praying to St Joseph of Cupertino and St Thomas Aquinas for their guidance in my preparations to the O's.

Yes, I did bother to go find out which saint I should pray to for exams.

Closer to the edge,

2010-08-24T20:28:00.002+08:00

Shit.

EM was downright disappointing.

Seriously,

Shit.

I must be doing something right,

2010-08-23T17:50:00.003+08:00

HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY HONGXIANG!

Everything needed to say is in yesterday's SMS, although I never have a lot to say, haha.

Went to celebrate HX's bday today. Went to Pizza Hut. The cake part was interesting, the kiddy happy bday song and the sudden switching off of lights, rofl.

Fruit cake!

Not bad, I actually ate the strawberries & grapes. But not mango, nono. Cake was pretty good overall. Healthy. Haha.

Sigh, earlier today we expected to go through exam papers, but instead were told tomorrow onwards till Thursday we'd be doing mass checking.

So today, Ms Zahila was unhappy (again), and Mr Yeo didn't come into class cuz he thought we were going through papers (LOL).

Bad, bad.

Then, Chinese was scary. We were told about the consequences of the retake in Nov. What's worse, this teacher doesn't seem strict but she seems like she has high expectations. We are a band 3 class, hello. & I failed, there must be a reason right? Hope she goes easier on us.

Sian, everyone gets a free period and not us. ;(

Oh well. Shall strive for good grades (b3 and below) for 5 of my better subjs (incl. EL, EM, & Sc). Being realistic, I should be able to score 15 points, but my goal is 12 points for L1B4.

Sigh, once again.

I woke up beneath the flight deck,

2010-08-19T17:59:00.000+08:00

Yay! I'm glad to say that English oral was alright for me~ :D

Glad I made the teachers laugh. They were friendly, young peepos! At first we were worried that they were pissed off people cos they received complaints, and that we were going to get low marks cos they were gonna ask only 1 question for convo. That way we would then complain to Ms Lim and Ms Lim said we'd get more marks cos the teachers were wrong.

But nope.

Everything went right. ;D

-

Chinese paper tomorrow. C6 C6 C6 !! >.<

To see you once again,

2010-08-17T15:57:00.001+08:00

Prelims update so far:

Physics P2: Hmm...
POA P2: GG.COM TTM.
Chem P2: Mm k, I guess..
Lit P1: Hmm...

Couple more days. The rest of the papers shouldn't be a problem for me because I've attempted them all before right? D: Hope so.

I can see it now,

2010-08-14T16:40:00.001+08:00

Prelims update..

EM P1: Mm k. (surprisingly :D)
Elect. Geog: GG.COM

-

Today had Physics remedial in the morning. Not even 1/4 of the class came. Haha.

Hmm, safe to say I DID learn some things, and at least Keane was there if not I solo guy. ==

But she tell long story again. :/

& in the MRT station, zzz. Don't wanna talk about it. :D

Okay, nothing to post le. LOL.

Wuliao. >.<

Why do you do what you do to me,

2010-08-12T15:14:00.000+08:00

PRELIMS UNDERWAY.

So far,

English - mm k.
Practical - mm k.
Maths P2 - hmm.
SS - screw.

Geog tomorrow. Yay. ==

I hate humanities.

I will never say never,

2010-08-07T23:13:00.000+08:00

Prelims.

I'm definitely not making full use of my time.

Good use?

Not really either.

Screwed if I don't start right by tomorrow,

I'm sure of it.

There's nothing else I can say,

2010-08-04T22:20:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow's the beginning of prelims!

ENGLISH.

SET BY LLY.

Screw.

Oh well, all the best to us anyway! :D

Here's my formal invitation,

2010-08-02T18:46:00.000+08:00

Prelims countdown: 9 days. (not counting English)

English is not something that you can really study, maybe letter writing and all, but other than that, nothing. Maths, science, humans, POA, these must be either practiced or revised time and again to do well, which I totally lack.

I guess in within the next couple of days, I should put in more effort in Maths and comb. science, then hopefully I'd get better than just a pathetic C grade, and get a B, or better, but I'm trying to be realistic here. I'll be satisfied with a B4. This would help me feel more confident (yet still mug harder) for O's. So, yeah. There's a goal. :D

Brownies.. Nadiah and Amelia, I will bring tomorrow k. :D Share with Nicholas hor. LOL.

Sooo,

7, then 9, then 17.

Keep your truth and tell me lies,

2010-07-29T18:23:00.000+08:00

A quick entry before going off to do homework and study.

Ugh, Geog is getting in my way to study! And the English compo. :/ Gonna chiong them. Still got Geog test tomorrow, wthell. ==

Okay so today ~~was basically NP-paper-boomerang-throwing day~~ went home early cos firstly, no Chinese and secondly, no SS (cancelled). Yay. The problem is that I'm not using my time wisely.

Like right now, gosh.

I do not wish to say GG on O levels day.

Actually I don't want to say GG at all during prelims!! I'll be murdered if I do not at least PASS (it's well assuring for me to strive better for O's..) every single subject and do well (A - B grade) for my stronger subjects (English doesn't count if LLY is marking)!

I'm not going to screw myself up. >/

JY JY me! >.<

& others also. Heh. :D

We've shattered all we had,

2010-07-28T20:22:00.000+08:00

Life's a challenge.

So many struggles.

Ugh.

-

So,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC & JIANLER! (:

Hehe. Kinda missed Eric's celebration (cos I didn't know where they were), but at least I could be there for Jianler's birthday. Right as I was about to leave, the cake arrived. Hoho.

The cake was interesting? I thought it was some pure cookies & cream ice-cream cake or something, but my guess is that it was oreo cheesecake cos there's this cheesecake taste, or maybe it is just cookies & cream, lmao.

A lot of madness was going on during that time, shan't elaborate, hahahah.

Okay, that's all I'm gonna post about.

Waiting for bro to get out of the toilet, then I can bathe, get on with SS (which I told HX I was starting on once I got home, oops :X), oh and study, but the stupid homework keeps piling up.

No wait, it's just my poor time management. :/

Don't even think about it.

You're all that it takes,

2010-07-27T19:49:00.001+08:00

Hmm. Prelims in a couple of days, followed by National Day break, then continuation. That sucks! I'm gonna mug for maths and science like crazy! Hardcore studying? Hmm... I should, shouldn't I?

I'll do what it takes to get at the very least the minimal grades for my weaker subjects, so that I can secure better ones by O's.

JY to myself, and other candidates! >.<

God bless us!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACHARY! (:

A world that shines for everyone,

2010-07-24T14:00:00.000+08:00

Mom's been experimenting a lot on cookies and flavours. Lots of successes! Now we have loads of cookies once again. Thinking if I should bring a bag? Before we get tired of eating them and they become less tasty as weeks go by. :/

Hmm, I dunno what to blog about, ha. >.<

Sian luhs, tomorrow, got tuition. Cannot go Pasta de Waraku. :/ Damn it!

Oh well.

O levels, in a few months.
Prelims, in a few weeks.

Yep.

Screwed if I don't start doing anything.

Guess I should erase and rewind,

2010-07-21T20:59:00.000+08:00

I don’t wanna feel like this
I don’t want to, I don’t want to
I don’t wanna freak you out, but I
Think I might have said too much
Didn’t mean to, didn’t mean to
Think I might have said it’s you and I
Guess I should leave this behind
Guess I should erase and rewind
But somehow I can’t seem to stay away
I don’t wanna sound desperate
But I am, so say that
You’ll come around
Guess I should erase and rewind
Erase and rewind
You never do return my calls
Just like we’ve never met at all
No matter what I’ll always wait for you
I’ll wait for you, I’ll wait for you
I don’t wanna feel like this
I don’t want to . . .
Guess I should leave this behind
Guess I should erase and rewind
But somehow I can’t seem to stay away
I don’t wanna sound desperate
But I am, so say that
You’ll come around
Guess I should erase and rewind
Erase and rewind

There's something 'bout love that breaks your heart,

2010-07-17T22:06:00.000+08:00

There are lots of things going on my mind.

Initially, I thought I should 'pen' them down here, but then I decided, nah.

-

So there's no Physics tuition.

I've been thinking for a while, should I be rejoicing? Or should I be feeling worried. I was studying Physics in prep for tomorrow, revision and all. Then Wq asked if tomorrow was on, so I asked Amanda, she said no. Then I just kept on thinking about how I should respond to that personally.

That's one thing in my mind.

Nothing big, though?

-

Yesterday, had Home Mission mass.

Interesting, was held inside the church's auditorium, airconditioned. There was a sharing session for those who attended. Thank goodness the choir didn't have to take part in the sharing. We got to stay in the auditorium and slack. ;)

Something funny happened, hee. Ivan uhs, paiseh. :X But I'd like to say no problem to all your "thank you ahs" that you gave me. :D

Went to Jalan Kayu for dinner/supper. Hmm, I think I prefer horlicks hot, rather than with ice. Or maybe their horlicks was just too, idk, milky-tasting. LOL. That doesn't seem to make sense, wtheck.

-

A lot of talking went on. I guess what you said is true, most of it.

I didn't want to deny, or did I, but I just didn't.

I'll do what I feel is right, or at least best. All I need is some time. But I'm sure, I will. I'll see how everything goes.

I'm not your robot,

2010-07-13T18:02:00.000+08:00

Some teachers are wayyyy more distracted than they say we are. Apart from electronic devices, anything that they see that isn't related to their subject, they will stop teaching and ask us to put it away, even if the person was never doing anything with it to start with.

Or they'd ask us to just focus, then minutes later they'd start chatting about irrelevant stuff.

Yes, I'm talking about my form and co-form.

Words can't express how much I really really really really do not like them.

Actually I'm just lazy. :D

-

Haiz, you're annoyed? So am I. Whatever. =.= Can't wait for O's to end, then you'll no longer nag at me. Woot.

You're like my first bad habit,

2010-07-10T23:31:00.006+08:00

Say goodbye to the people who tied you up,

2010-07-09T20:59:00.000+08:00

Me doesn't like Miley Cyrus.
But me likes "Liberty Walk" and "Robot", both by Miley Cyrus.

Hmm, I think it's alright to like songs from an artist whom you don't like. It's just annoying to hear people say like, "BETRAYER!" or stupid words along that line, haha. Just saying.

Anyway, a new very nice song I've just heard is "Something 'Bout Love" by David Archuleta! Freaking nice, meaningful, plus a strong powerful voice, awesome. :D Go hear it, yeah?

-

Yesterday, something happened, paiseh! >.<

Nicholas started making some sick twisted story after Jer told him what he 'saw'. Dumbbbb. -_- Whatever.

-

Today, CL oral. Dismissed from lessons after POA, 2 periods early. 1.45 was oral.

Overall, I think reading was eh-okay, but convo, hmm...

Stupid Nicholas la, go say what ask the teacher to repeat the question means lose 10 marks, wth, lols. Eeyer, retarded. Can't believe I almost fell for it. :X But it sounded convincing cos Aaron seconded that it was a fact. But at the same time, it was suspicious cos I remember HJB saying that we'd get marks for asking cos it's a convo and asking questions can be part of a convo, just that you're not answer the question yet.

Well, it was cool to know that by opening your mouth to answer the invigilator's question gets you 15 marks, whooo~ Hmm, whether I'll pass is one thing, whether I'll do well, is another (not so possible) thing.

Oh well, shan't dwell on this any longer. Next, English oral. Like Amanda said, must show LLY, we can do way better than her standards! >:D

-

Smsing Mr Kwek now. Ugh, so mafan lah. Sunday. =.=

Okay, that's all. Heh.

Byebye.

I don't wanna sound desperate but I am,

2010-07-06T21:35:00.000+08:00

Hey! Entry before I go off to study~

Today was pretty okay, pretty sian. Stuff happened, whatever. As long as I know it myself, I know what you thought as well.

Joke.

Hmm, Maths AP, this time really did chat quite a few times, hopefully Tan Bee Choo didn't give her attitude lecture cos of me, Xavier, Sean and Luke. But I think it was cos of us, heh. :X Er, switched off like a little, did learn some new stuff, but was super relieved when we got our answer sheet again. HEHE.

Haiz, now Physics tuition is every Sunday. Hard for me sia. Maybe a few sessions cmi. But I will try, like this Sunday. Maybe when Leonard calls us to move to the room, I shall dismiss myself LOL. See how. I hope I can make it for most of the tuition sessions, cos I think I'll gg without the knowledge of someone...better than Mdm Ee, the luosuo teacher. =.=

Haha, okay, shall end here. Not a proper post? Hmm.. Okay la, diary-worthy. HAHA. I'm just pleasing myself. :X

Okay, off to revise Maths! >.< Gonna look through and redo the maths test, prolly. Or go through circle properties, finish the work. Maybe I should do that first, then redo the maths test paper 1 another day, during the weekends? Call a friend to help me or what in the morning or, idk. Hee.

Argh, enough with the chitter-chatter. What am I still doing here? Kk, bye! >.<

Forgive and forget but don't forget why you're here,

2010-07-04T14:35:00.000+08:00

Just came to blog that..

ASSASIN'S CREED II LOOKS SUH-WEET!

It's freaking cool, from the graphics, to the gameplay, to the open world, to all the actions and freedom you get in the game, woah! It's like Sims 3 + lots of action. I like how it is pretty realistic, like you can kill someone in stealth then join the townsfolk and watch the person die as if you're an innocent person who just happened to walk past.

Cool. But it's rated 18. :/ Who cares, LOL.

But, computer games, hard for me to purchase them. Greatly discouraged too. If only my comp was fast at downloads, I would definitely download the cracked version! >.<

& Adam called me after I messaged him that. Omg, he takes everything too seriously. -.- Haha.

Tomorrow!

Okay, that's all LOL.
