Secret Garden, The Love

2012-01-22T20:51:00.004+08:00

Watched "Secret Garden" finale yesterday. Seriously beautiful drama. Elements of laughter, sorrow and bliss perfectly infused into it. One way how it stands out from common dramas is how they give recognition to stunt doubles and firemen. Both are praiseworthy and respectable occupations, but more often than not, people neglect how much toil those people undergo, how much courage they need, and how much they sacrifice. Like, viewers focus on the main leads of an action movie, and forget that the stunt doubles play an imperative role in contributing to the success and excitement of the movie. "Secret Graden" utilises the soul switching plot. Though it is not new, it is cleverly used in such a way that it indeed makes the love between the couple grow and became the ultimate tool which the male lead used to sacrifice himself for the female.
The drama is a little bit of angels and fairytales, but that does not make it too unnatural and unrealistic. Because, there are also things that people can relate to, such as strong opposition from parents towards a relationship and also people knowing to cherish others only when they have lost them. These are real life experiences and some should be able to put themselves in the shoes of the characters completely. "Secret Garden" has a drama within a drama. Can see that it is filmed with heart and soul. With the sincerity and efforts, it a not a shabby drama and is definitely worth watching.
Side note, Happy Chinese New Year! Back in Malaysia. It is not as fun as it used to be, but nevertheless still celebrating and respecting the occasion as usual. May everyone discover some wonders in life and create your own secret garden, a place where you find solace and comfort when the going gets tough and when the odds are against you.

A Letter To My Friend

2012-01-13T00:44:00.007+08:00

Dear Watson,

Apologies for not updating you earlier about my current status. You may be reticent and stoical, but I know you would worry for me. Here at the base camp, war has started. The enemy can strike any minute, and remaining vigilant is the key. I'm in a dangerous position, but I blame nobody, because I was the one who chose to be at the front-line. One week has passed, and there are 21 long and grueling days to go.

This dangerous state has not reached its climax. I had a solid shield to ward off some the menacing and deadly attacks. However, fate has decided that I need to step out and fight gallantly instead of playing defense. I lost the shield during a pandemonium on the battlefield. Given the heavy fire and destruction, I reckon it has been destroyed. Next week on, I need will face even immense perils. However, this cannot be done overnight. I need to learn the ropes from experienced soldiers and generals, and fast. Only then, I can be independent. Every warrior has his enemies to fight, they cannot be there for me around the clock.

The enemy is merciless. You see some puppet-like humans who seem to have lost their conscience heartlessly and constantly bombarding your base. They sneak on you whilst you are trapped in a turmoil and chaos and present a surprise, be it pilfering of your belongings or raging at you. My life is at its hardest for these 18 years. However my friend, I promise to return after this critical period. Being on the frontline is both a mental and physical torture. There is little time for proper breaks, let alone fully meeting the nutritional needs from daily meals. I am undernourished, and I may be even lankier than before, but I believe you can still recognize me, apart from my dreary and weary state.

Each hour is a rush hour, as in we are mad busy, but the actual speed of time passing is a complete opposite, like continental drift slow. I am closer to liberation with each passing hour though. I am looking forward to the day where, with outstretched hands, I pass my uniform back with relief. During times like this, it is especially spirit uplifting, encouraging and heartwarming to have emotional and psychological support from people close to you. Heartfelt thanks and utmost gratitude to you. I know you are having a hard time now as well. During wartime, we are all affected, more or less. Yes, let's all pull through this together.

Your friend,
Holmes

(Haha, in letter form, cool huh? I use the name Watson because I like it alot. Since I started with Watson and the whole post is in substitute, I might as well sign off with Holmes. The base is actually my workplace, the enemy refers to the customers, and the shield is actually an experienced staff. Lastly, I believe my friends will know that I am grateful to them for offering words of encouragement.)

Start the Year with Movie Marathon

2012-01-02T17:28:00.003+08:00

Happy New Year! Another brand new start, with receiving A Level results as the first major event for me, perhaps. I hope the tick of time won't be in a haste, because anyway we are having holidays now, and this is my last year as a teen. Anyway, looking forward to new events and experiences in store for me.
5 movies within 2 days! Not sure if I will watch another one later on. The cable TV is interesting, because for yesterday and today, practically all the channels are free. I simply tried my luck at an unsubscribed channel and bingo. And the reason why I tried was because I remembered that this happened last year during a special occasion. As for why I tried that time, it was pure random I guess.
I watched (in chronological order), 《游龙戏凤》, 《财神客栈》, 《剑雨》, 《我的父亲母亲》 and 《风声》. The last two are especially wondrous works. I guess one needs to have a bit old-fashioned sense to appreciate 《我的父亲母亲》, and not dislike Chinese too much to appreciate 《风声》.
《我的父亲母亲》 has a slow progression in storyline, but captures the essentials. As a romance film, it expresses the silly things you'd do for the ones you love, the sacrifice you have to be together with each other, and an undying and unwavering kind of love that lingers though one of the two has unfortunately passed away. 《风声》 was kind of complicated for me at first, because there are tonnes of things about the Japanese occupation that I am unsure or ignorant of. But eventually, the story would be clearer, as actually the core as is not on the major historical events that people should know. Instead, it is based on a easy to follow storyline of spies. I think the movie is a blend of Sherlock Holmes, Kindaichi and Saw. Very smart and tactical moves employed by witty characters and a sense of suspense and suspicion. The English subtitles are great, proper, relevant translation and impressive language. 《风声》 is like a blend of brutality, betrayal, loyalty, trust, justice, sacrifice, sorrow, love, and bravery. It has got some classic lines too! Like "我不怕死, 怕的是爱我者不知我为何而死". (I'm not afraid of dying, but only fear my loved ones won't know what I've died for) The last ten minutes or so explain some parts that previously occurred, keeping the suspense and bewilderment till the last moment and also not leaving viewers with doubts in their heads. Overall it is a touching movie and superb acting, which I believe you will be bound to be enthralled and awed.
You can learn from movies! How to feel (lol), and the language, for instance :)

Btw, I have this thought and typing it down now. I think that a sunny day is strictly a sunny day, not a "good day". Wait till you sweat buckets, suffer from dehydration, and face water shortage then you it's still a good day? Sunny day or rainy day, though the latter can foil most plans, it is also important and can bring you joy like a sunny day can, so, don't categorize!

Adieu, 2011

2011-12-31T15:53:00.002+08:00

Left than half a day left before Singapore ushers in the new year. I'm...kind of depressed. Not that I am not anticipating 2012, but because today, new year's eve, is spent at home. Still deciding whether to meet up with a friend later on for dinner. I am not that introverted right, at least I have the yearning to go out. Wanted to watched Sherlock Holmes 2 with the gang, but one of them watched, another is sick, and another wants to cut back on spending (movie ticket on weekend) and sort of want to laze at home. Well, I really hope I can watch it soon. After Sherlock Holmes 1, I believed that there will be a sequel, and sure enough it did. Do not want to have regrets on small matters like this. Like last year, wanted to watch Toy Story 3, but forgot whether the response wasn't overwhelming, or because at least 2 have watched, or unable to find common free slot. Well, so how? Try to make more friends with the same interests as you ba, so that you can have back-up plans and not get disappointed.
I don't really know what to type, but I want to have a post on the last day of 2011, and don't want to make it too slip-shot and contentless. Maybe I shall summarize the movies I have watched in cinemas this year, albeit not an impressive list, so readers who have a much longer list than me, please try to suppress your laughter and don't mock at me ok? Haha... Here goes: I Love Hong Kong (2011), Yogi Bear (watched these 2 in Malaysia), Rango, Kung Fu Panda 2, Puss in Boots, You are the Apple of My Eye, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. Eh I think that's all. Sad.
Anyway, I submitted 2 resumes yesterday. Should there be any responses, probably next year already. My current definition of failure is jobless :/ Gotta get a job real soon!
For Taiwan trip, my sister is unable to go with me due to a problem which we (my sister, my mum, and I) never thought of. Like giving me an apple of Sodom. Right now contemplating whether to go with my mum or not... Will update about this again. New year resolutions...haha. No, shall not state any new year resolutions. More often than not, they fail. Someone must be wishing for everyone's resolutions to fail, that's why. Ok crap. Cooping yourself at home leads to boredom which induces a psychological effect leading to insanity. Hope my prayers are heard though.
Yup, that's all for now. I don't think the world will end in 2012 :)

Ah! Pure Addiction

2011-12-21T10:39:00.003+08:00

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love, the love that I love.

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now,
Oh love, no
You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore, mmm...
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally deedeedeedee
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well I'm free, oh, I'm free

And it's okay if you have to go away
Oh just remember the telephone works both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang

Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see me now
well I'm almost finally out of.
I'm finally out of, finally, deedeeededede
well I'm almost finally, finally, out of words

You look so beautiful today
When you're sitting there it's hard for me to look away
So I try to find the words that I could say
I know distance doesn't matter but you feel so far away

And I can't lie every time I leave my heart turns gray
And I want to come back home to see your face tonight
'Cause I just can't take it

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait, I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it won´t stop bleeding
But I can wait, I can wait forever

You look so beautiful today
It's like every time I turn around I see your face
The thing I miss the most is waking up next to you
When I look into your eyes, man I wish that I could stay

And I can't lie every time I leave my heart turns gray
And I want to come back home to see your face tonight
'Cause I just can't take it

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait, I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it won´t stop bleeding
But I can wait, I can wait, I can wait forever

I know it feels like "forever"
I guess that's just the price I gotta pay
But when I come back home to feel your touch makes it better
Until that day there's nothing else that I can do
And I just can't take it
(I just can't take it)

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait, I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it won´t stop bleeding
But I can wait, I can wait, I can wait forever

I can wait forever
I can wait forever
I can wait forever
I can wait forever
I can wait forever

I Beg Your Pardon?

2011-12-17T16:22:00.003+08:00

Some things are not intended to be funny, but they are just hilarious. This world can be strangely beautiful, yet disturbingly repulsive. From international issues like China having vested interests by investing in the Myitsone Dam Project to harness hydroelectricity from Myanmar, to national issues like the tragic death of the little girl in Foshan, to individual matters like thinking for oneself and such. Sometimes feigning ignorant is so damn irritating. But then again, sometimes ignorance is bliss. I am not acting like a condescending freak looking down upon this world. Similarly, I cannot attempt to change people. Sometimes attempting to change people can be the greatest vice of all. It's like, you think you are right and shape people to your way but then you, the shaper, is actually the most wicked of all and not only have you not changed yourself, you moulded an evil clone. People should just self-reflect. I believe natural occurrences will eventually tell us where we are wrong. Then again, no, sometimes it will be too late. I am like contradicting myself, and this whole chunk of words seem so not coherent. But isn't that life? Sometimes weird, warped, messy.
Ok, gotta come to a conclusion. Act according to the situation. Think, always. No definite answer, but depends. Keep hoping. Human nature is fundamentally flawed but good and evil is not a fine balance. It tilts slightly towards the former. I think?

我的天空今天有点灰。我的心是个落叶的季节。--S.H.E 天灰

My sky is a little dark today. (Actually not just a little) My heart is the season of falling leaves.

I was physically in Malaysia but my mind was somewhere else.

Feeling of Separation

2011-12-02T23:04:00.005+08:00

Feeling of separation is...bitter and abounded with reluctance. You know you do not want to part when you wish that ya'll can spend forever hanging out at a place. You know you do not want to part when you wish that ya'll can talk for eternity. You know you do not want to part when you wish that the movie ya'll are watching will never end. It's a bummer that we could not get a kiosk at Playnation. Nevertheless, we caught a brilliant movie: Puss in Boots. Watching it on Monday again, but I don't mind cos it's really one of the best I've watched. Haha, it's not that I take friends who live in Singapore for granted if I don't feel sad after graduation. I mean, obviously it's easy for us to meet. And for scholars, how high are the chances? It takes unbelievable fate for two people living in two different countries to have an unplanned mutual encounter in some random place. A simple meet up require a flight.
Literally talked like there's no tomorrow with Zi An. We walked around Parry Hall for umpteen times, chatting about whatever we could think of, from movies to exams, to universities, to the Chinese language, to memorable experiences, to other future plans, to the Cultural Revolution, to the school life, to the facilities at the hostel, to technology, to songs. If he does choose NUS, perhaps it's easier for us to meet again. If he chooses HKU or any other uni, it's a different story. Well, hope that FB will continue to persist as a channel for me to remain in contact with those scholars. Next time when we start working, maybe we have the financial means ourselves to travel and get together again, relishing the treasured time after a long period of no face-to-face interaction. All the best in our future paths, whatever it may be.

Movie: You Are The Apple of My Eye

2011-11-23T20:03:00.005+08:00

Hah, today was totally random. I watched "那些年，我们一起追的女孩" with Ang Jason. It all started when I randomly asked if I can go his house. He said he would be going to Yamaha Music Centre in Boon Lay to enquire about guitar lessons. Nevertheless I followed him and over meal, I suddenly popped the ultimate question, "Wanna catch a movie?" I am surprised that he would wanna take up guitar lessons, and at the same time, I marvel at how he decided to buy the guitar and pay for the lessons using his savings, not even accepting subsidies from his parents. Well I wish him all the best for his lessons and hope he has the drive and passion to really master the basics at least.
First time watching a movie with a guy. Cool huh? Anyway, from the Chinese title, it seems rather appropriate even if only guys watch together, no? Haha. I think the movie should be M18 instead of NC16 la. Quite a lot of coarse language in Chinese, and I hope the people are more touched by the storyline and learn meaningful things from the movie rather than picking up those vulgarities and abusing them :O
The movie is rather tear and warmth inducing. I personally don't like some parts for I think they are illogical but then the sweetness compensated for them. Good acting, especially for one of the male protagonists, who hadn't had much acting experience.
Haha, if I hadn't left with MCQs, I would have felt much more guilty going out for leisure. Well, not that I take MCQs lightly, but because the papers are several days later. These few days shall go study already, have been slacking from Monday till now. After As then can go wild with much more ease :)

Music Calms The Soul

2011-11-22T14:20:00.006+08:00

I think Joe Hisaishi is definitely one of the best pianist of all time. He put in so much emotions in his playing. A staccato is a staccato, a crescendo is a crescendo. Extremely talented, not to mention that he composes those wondrous pieces himself. I fell in love with the first piece I heard from him, which is "Always With Me" in Spirited Away. The amalgamation of Joe Hisaishi's music and the brilliant animation by Hayao Miyazaki produces a heavenly work.

Ultimate Dumbness

2011-11-16T17:32:00.004+08:00

Damn. Damn it. Chemistry was really trying to drive me to my grave. After Paper 3 I told myself that I shall score Paper 2 with flying colours. The most unforgivable thing is to make stupid brainless imbecilic mistakes AGAIN. Sometimes I think things are just predestined. No matter how much I told myself to be extra cautious, I make careless mistakes. I blatantly ignored the hints in the questions, end up with weird answers, then ask myself where the hell went wrong. Of course I will not be able to find the answers to my doubts because everything was wrong wrong wrong from the very start. It's like some force was controlling my brain which in turn controlled my hands to pen down ridiculous and ludicrous answers. It may sound very stupid and unreal but the stupid mistakes time and time again are supporting my hypothesis that things are fated to be and I will not be able to clinch that freaking A no matter how badly I want it.

The train ride home was such an excruciating one. I just wanted to collapse/scream/cry. Luckily no one in public pissed me off and I reached home only with Chemistry bothering me. I can't forgive myself, at least for the time being, but I really want to question divine forces as well. Please may I have some blessings? This is not just any other ordinary exam. This is an exam which will determine my freaking future though things I've learnt may not be applicable in my future career at all. I guess I will break down again if I get a C or below for Chemistry. Luckily no more papers for the time being and I can adjust back to normal mood before the Biology Paper 3. No, I SHALL NOT face the same crappy ordeal for Biology Paper 3.

"HIMYM" is The Love

2011-11-05T12:21:00.003+08:00

"How I Met Your Mother" Season 3 Episode 16 is axe see learnt :) Below is the MV of Robin, when she was still a teen star. The full MV was showed at the end of episode 16, which is arguably one of the best in Season 3. I like the quality jokes in HIMYM. Good use of hyperbole, some plain silly in a logical manner and some require inference. Jokes with substance and reflect reality, and they will linger in your mind long after that laugh moment. Apart from this, I like how the friends stand by one another, and that there are guest appearances. It's not easy to make somebody laugh. I strongly recommend HIMYM because the actors and actresses do not deliver the jokes in a plastic manner. What's best is that I already liked it before discovering that it is a comedy hit of the decade.

What Was That!

2011-10-18T22:10:00.005+08:00

First up, I dug up this old post from Sec 3 class blog:

ERM: ATTENTION ALL
this is a crap message and should not be treated seriously.

People we have notice that some people in this class are acting emo-ish.
symptoms include:
1) black face(like Justice Bao's)
2) staring
3) acting cool
4) not talking to everyone

we hereby want to urge people NOT to be so EMO-ISH.. Or we will just have to warm you up.. mahahax xP. you should know who you are.. :DD

Hilarious, like seriously. Warning using soft approach with a tinge of intimidation, which I forgot whether it was successful on improving the situation in class.

Next, RVHS' 2011 GP Prelim Paper 2 is challenging. "Agonising over happiness leads to only bewilderment and frustration, or to banalities - watch less television and smile more at strangers...But rejecting these problems, which might feel liberating, is actually enslavement...Worse, the one who gains command is likely to be the average contemporary, and his solution a weak mixture of contemporary recommendations and anathemas. But who should be faulted for producing such paucity of intellect?" I sincerely salute the author, Michael Foley. What was that? For me, I am led to bewilderment and frustration reading this paragraph. How I wish I could write like this, lol.

Well, we like to do crazy things every once in a while right? Or is this a totally groundless and mindless assumption? I shall head down to NJ to study this Friday! Woohoo~ Please await the grand arrival of me.

Something proved that I am human. I, feel, stress! Woo~ It's like doing practice papers halfway, and the stress feeling emerge out of the blue, like, what was that? It's not as if I am imagining the worst case scenarios or being pessimistic, but suddenly I just feel that I cannot grab that A. Ok, I am not overestimating myself or very confident that aces are within reach, but come on, who don't want an A. Keep cool and don't panic, seriously.

Closing Chapter

2011-10-14T16:36:00.002+08:00

Above are the gifts and notes received today - AJ's Farewell Assembly. Throughout these 2 years, there have been occasional notes as well, not that they only given on this very last day. The notes, simple yet heartwarming and cherished.

I thought today would not be much of a memorable day. I was wrong. Not only did I manage to take photos with people I want to take with, I had a whale of a time chilling, chatting and a delightful meal with classmates, albeit the assembly was not really satisfactory. I do appreciate the videos that the various departments have put up for us. Teachers, casting their usual stern images and dignity aside, danced and acted. I do not know if I will ever see some of the scholar friends again, but I still wish them the very best for their future endeavours. Fate is so twisting and unfathomable, perhaps we could meet each other again someday, sometime, somewhere, somehow.

I always experience complicated feelings when it comes to separation. It's like, you realise those things which you used to frown upon, do not turn out that bad at all. You wish to reverse the time and view things in a more positive light. It's like, people do not normally show it, but you are actually cared for and showered with concern. It's like, you keep self questioning if you had really cherished the times when you were still together with your friends. But, I think this has been a fruitful and unforgettable journey in a good way.

To each and every friend, there's no other like you. You really brighten up my life and lift me up from down times. Let's hope we will all remember the memories and be remembered.

Professionalism Please

2011-09-29T16:39:00.003+08:00

Professionalism is a big word, probably hard to define as well. I think the primary rule is to respect your job, yourself, and others. A teacher is someone who can make impactful influences and create a difference in a student. A noble job indeed. It is wholly undesirable if a teacher is someone unprofessional, unethical, unthinking and unjust.

When a teacher wants certain important and life-determining documents to be submitted, students expect the teacher to review it immediately, especially when the teacher instructed for them to be handed in by the following day. The teacher should not drag for months and to the students' horror, she has not took a glance at them yet.

When a teacher says to meet a student at a particular time, she should not give last minute hysteria by changing the time or forget about the appointment. Teachers may be busy but it does not mean that students can always accommodate to the timing that the teacher sets.

A teacher had better not recede on his or her words so frequently. Downright untrustworthy. A teacher had better treat everyone equally. Downright biased. A teacher had better not look down on any student. Downright conceited. A teacher had better be lucid of what he or she has to do. Downright irresponsible.

I seriously pray for justice.

P.S No wonder she never wins any "Favourite Teacher" award or whatsoever and does not receive any cheers during Teachers' Day celebrations. Boo, stinky shame to high heavens!

Starstruck

2011-09-25T22:26:00.003+08:00

'Perfect' is a rather amorphous term. To add on, there has been a saying that nobody is perfect. But if I should pick a man to define perfect, he would be Jet Li. In terms of looks, probably not that kind which will electrify any kind of girl at once, but still looking proper and amiable. I have not been one those passionate, hardcore fans following the updates of their idols closely. But recently, I knew more of the Korean group, Super Junior. I thought I have found a second person inside who I can consider to be perfect: Lee Donghae. Looks, character and talent, packaged within him, it's more than what anyone can ask for. As the lyrics of N'Sync's song go: "God must have spent a little more time on (him)".

Some people might be immediately turned off by newly formed bands and rising stars, thinking that they merely have the looks. In the case of SuJu, it may be thought that girls just go head over heels about them and fail to recognise what is "true music". After several observations, I feel that Donghae is not one of those who should be perceived as having the outward appearance only. Take one incident for instance. Before debut, his two fellow friends once told him that when he became famous, he would forget about them. Donghae was specially concerned about this sentence. When he was found crying, he flew into a rage and shouted, "I'm not going to change!" He also has his own compositions and his vocal and dance abilities should not be denied as well.

Like him, some stars are truly grateful for their success and current achievements. After all, without the support of fans, they would not have rose to fame and glory. In conclusion, I would like to say that there are some who really got the inner beauty and one should not judge by the facade.

Then, I reflect upon myself. Unavoidably, I feel some sense of inferiority >< I will often link my achievements to my academic results, and they show sucky grades. I frequently take comfort in the fact that I'm lazy, but then at the end of the day, people see the grade reflected on the certificate and not your excuses and explanations. Although I may not be as perfect as Jet Li and Donghae, the least I can do is to pull up my socks in academic and earn some admiration and praises, haha :O Got back Math paper 2 and it was so demoralising. It's like "How on earth can/did I make this mistake?" ...

Fighting!

A Hello After Hiatus

2011-09-03T01:08:00.002+08:00

I believe, like many others, I'm in awe at how JC life is coming to an end pretty soon. No more PE lessons, wouldn't have to wear AJ PE attire anymore, hmm. Still can vividly remember the many complaints about school and life last year. I guess it was just adjustment period and right now, majority of the student body should be mugging their guts out for Prelims/the ultimate A levels. Complaints have ceased, and carefree mentality is slowly fading.

Hmm, actually I wonder if I would miss my JC class? Not too bad la, won't go to the extent of abhorring it. There are some very considerate classmates and unity never fails to be exhibited whenever there is a need to. Will reminisce some of the times with the class from time to time, and definitely not forgetting Harmonica Band, which is indeed a joy booster. Made a couple of good friends there and hopefully can keep in touch, with most of them, cos I do not harbour high hopes keeping in contact with scholars.

Returned to BP on thursday, and seriously miss the school a great deal. The feeling of meeting old classmates is indescribably pleasant. Sadly, no scholars from 09 batch went back. I guess they did not feel a strong sense of bonding to the class and sometimes, while thinking back, I do feel a little apologetic, lol. I realised in JC that scholars are generally very loving, amiable and interesting people, should have interacted more last time. Well, it's all in the past now. I shall not lament too much cos we learn new lessons as we progress in life.

Shall maintain a positive attitude and put in serious hardwork so as not to disappoint myself again like in O levels. I'm sure those who are mugging like they never did, will also reap ideal results. Hope God can bestow some divine blessings for us not to blank out during the paper! ;) Thank you on behalf of everyone :)

No more ideas are flowing into my mind right now, so I shall just stop typing now. Till we meet again!

Lifeless

2010-06-03T20:56:00.003+08:00

Gawd, I'm so dead...
Have not even completed revision for one topic of one subject. I seriously waste a lot of time, and I can't diagnose my problem.
But my condition is: I don't know what I really want. I think of achieving something but I have no drive. I feel lost almost constantly. I wonder why is life worth living. I feel headaches but there don't seem to be any headaches. I might be hallucinating. I feel like a loser. I think I will retain if I continue this way but I don't want to retain. I wonder what will become of me ten years later. I wonder when will I come back to life again.
It will definitely be hard to find a prescription. Or maybe...it isn't that hard after all? Just that, pleasant things don't seem to sprout out yet. I think.
Oh damn, what's wrong with this freaking attitude. Emo ttm. Pessimistic ttm. Zombie-like ttm.

A Revival

2010-05-31T00:27:00.003+08:00

Yo world, you are seeing a new post here! Is this a miracle or what? Such a long time never post, I got a feeling that my blogging skills have turned very rusty. i.e to say, this post is not going to be very long yea?
It's June already... Is it fast? I don't know....wait till I successfully clear J1. The thought of retaining scares me. Imagine repeating the year, what a waste of time, youth, and life. Guys in Singapore already have 2 years gone in the army, can't afford to waste extra time! But I'm still slacking...how?! Sian, I really don't want failed common tests to be my wake up call. A bit the late. Well, tomorrow I shall try to do something more constructive.
So many people around me are flying. As in they take the plane. Sichuan, Yunnan, California, Canada, Beijing, Hong Kong, Slovakia... Make me so green with envy :( I wanna fly too, but wonder when will be the next time. After A levels, I seriously hope. To Australia! Haha.
Oh yes, I wanna watch 2 movies too: Pan's Labyrinth and Ratatouille. Yeah both are not recent ones, but they seem nice. Aiya, don't know how to get the chance la. Usually I want to do something, but in the end normally fail. I tried watching Ratatouille on a website, but it's ultra slow la. Take light years to load.
Er, is there anything more to say? Oh. PW... PW sucks. Seems so difficult to get an A... hopefully it doesn't turn out to be some crappy letter. And Chinese, JunWei you better score an A and nothing else. Buona fortuna.
Say "Happy Holidays" to a JC student and you are rather lame.
Just say "Cherish the time to mug! And to take a break."

Yongxiang: O.o surprised man... My English has always been cheem ma, no? XD When I more agitated I am better than normal. Nah, someone with the intention to steal will not return. Never mind about the lost GC already, and IC also made new one liao.

A Truly Terrible School Day

2010-04-05T22:41:00.003+08:00

Today. Sucks. Totally.
I know I have not been blogging for a very very long time. Basically, I feel that nothing happy in life is worth documenting about. Today is an ultra memorable day in AJC. Someone. Stole. My. Wallet. And. My. GC.
Idiot thief with no proper upbringing. A nincompoop that is the bane of the society. Living on this earth equates to wasting the earth's resources. A trash that resorts to unscrupulous and underhand means to pilfer because he is a good-for-nothing and without the ability to get anything himself. Dear thief, you should just DIE. Vacuous bird-brained moron. So totally incorrigible that you are an exception who can be killed without the murderer being punished by law.
Now going to school sucks even more. How great. Besides this, I totally have no sense of belonging to DEAR AJC. I admit that there are kind souls around, but my negativity is simply overpowering. What to do. Only like April of the 1st year, I wonder how am I going to survive in this bloody school.

Friends made my day....

2010-03-11T21:46:00.005+08:00

This friend of mine really made me touched. Seeing that his PM has not been changed for quite some time, I jokingly told him to change to "being junwei's friend is the most wonderful thing that can happen to me" and he actually did it... You might think "Aiyo, gay" or anything negative, but....maybe you just don't know la.

Also, I would like to extend a big big thank you to all dearest friends who wished me happy birthday, those who even got a present. Thanks to Brandon, I have a set of NJC uniform now. Hope to wear it to public someday.... (Yeah I know I'm crazy...) But don't wear seems kind of wasted.

Logic!

2010-03-05T20:34:00.003+08:00

Today, I did something really stupid... In one of questions in the test, we were supposed to draw the structure of triglyceride. At first I did draw 3 oxygen atoms between the carbon atoms of glycerol and the carbon atoms of the fatty acids. However, I thought I don't see the oxygen atoms in the notes, so I merrily earsed them away, though I asked myself "Where the extra oxygen go to?" In the end, I flipped my notes, and....I saw that there should be oxygen there.

Moral of story: Use logic, rather than relying on your memory. The latter can fail you sometimes.

A Mixture of Events and Feelings

2010-02-20T14:05:00.006+08:00

Gosh, this blog is kind of dead. I know :X
Shall begin with CNY. Didn't go back to KL, again. Hence, not as fun as yesteryears, btu I wouldn't say it bad either. The joy of playing firecrackers has disappeared and only younger cousins enjoy them now. Anyway, it causes much pollution; I shall do my part to save the world. Haha. Cousin from Kl came to SG on Tuesday with her hubby, so we brought them to Sentosa. I feel that it is a boring place :X probably because I don't have a ticket to the Universal Studio, but seem like it wasn't open leh, despite the tickets sold out. Put 3 pics here.

Chocolate World

Moving on....life has been terrible this period. The people are terrible, hence making school terrible. Fine, shall not grumble anymore. Life's like that, btu it's hard to be happy nowadays. So, for this period of time, I like this phrase "抿着嘴说不出抱怨躲着偷偷流眼泪" from 梁咏琪's <给自已的情歌>
But, I did got happy when I returned to BP on Thursday. A make-up for CNY perhaps :X Since Swee Yee going back to see his fellow band members so I tagged along then, but msot importantly, was his sentence "When the actual timetable come out then it will be hard to fork out time to go back."
Was happy to see Clement and WenXi especially, I don't know why. The feeling came suddenly, even I feel weird why I am happy to see WenXi, coz we normally don't have much interaction, except for occasional disturbance from him, in a good way, and him being the first classmate I see everyday, in sec 3.
Anyway, I'd better not go back to BP too often for no reasons. I scared I will lose the feeling of going back. Shall see dear ex-classmates sometime, someday, somewhat.

Replies:
Jia Hui: Hi~ pretty random uh, suddenly pop out one 'hi' from you, and no reference to anything :X
Jiamin: Heh, there, above, JC life is.... Hard to have fun ah, hope you're coping well though! :) Yes! TW's food rocksss, and so much more fun~ K la, coz it's bigger.
Alien: Wa...thanks leh...tag so often. But sorry uh, I reply very late coz update very little. Didn't know the boss is so generous! Never mind, given a chance again, I will still choose JC. Also mentioned about CNY above, hope you've read it? :)
Clement: Hey hey, long time didn't see your tag liao. Really? I didn't know leh...you been there? Anyway, thanks for enriching my knowledge. Haha.

Thrilling Taiwan (Part 4-End)

2010-01-29T14:48:00.011+08:00

Do things cannot do halfway. Even if the posts are getting too boring for readers to bear, even if I am down with chicken pox now, I still gotta finish! Anyway, here is the last part already. Thanks for those who bothered to read all or at least some, as you can see, a lot of effort need to be put in de ah. Hopefully these posts have made you wanna go Taiwan too! And my advice is: Don't go with a tour group : ) Here comes the finale:

Thursday 7 Jan
1220
Modern Toilet Restaurant
We already saw this restaurant on our first day here. Previously saw it on "都是大发现" screened on Channel U some time ago, and whee, now we were there ourselves. At first didn't want to go there, because I thought I wouldn't have the appetite looking at those "poo". But not that exaggerating after all. When you go there, you will know that the amount of poo isn't that much to make you puke :D The set meal is very filling. Great lunch for me, but not for my sis.

Not very nice, according to my sister.

I didn't knew I was ordering lasagna because the Chinese name sounds grand "奶油燻鸡焗烤", but anyway, yum!

We were having our meals on the 2nd floor, and halfway through, we heard someone below asking another, "你要吃什么大便", haha, found it funny more than disgusting. It turned out to be friends from SG. Two girls in their early twenties, and their mum. The two girls are seriously interesting people. The waitress went to take their order and blabber on and on about what kind of set meals they offer etc. Then, she left the women to decide on their choices. Immediately, one of the girls said to another "What was she talking about ah?" Haha...cuteness...

1349
Cinema 7, Ximending
Haha...I don't find it a waste of money la. At least experience watching a movie in Taiwan. We watched "Sherlock Holmes". Love it they way I love "National Teasure". Like I said before, I like those kind of witty characters, very suave. Moreover, friendship is also displayed in "Sherlock Holmes". And importantly, brilliant acting skills. Haiz, don't want to describe much le, in conclusion it is a very good movie.

FYI, Robert Downey JR, the actor who acted as Sherlock Holmes, won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy on 17 Jan ah. Oh ya, Taiwan really does quite a bit of recycling work. If you had bought popcorn/drinks, etc, you take the container outside after the movie and there will be a staff to sort out the which category of materials they belong to. Recycling bins are also found in the MRT stations. Coolness~

1646
East Metro Mall
Nothing much, just here to quench my sister's thirst for more accessories.

1730
Shihlin Night Market
Woohoo, back again. The crowd differs greatly on a weekend and on a weekend. Saw a pair of runing shoes i really really liked....but haiz, limited by money.

One big cup of Red Tea for only NT$25

Now, this is the picture of the previously only signboard shown chicken
(Oh crap, what English is this, but hopefully you understand)

Translated: Big intestine wrap small intestine. I love the sausauge and the glutinous rice. The vegetables...eew, a bit extra. Sometimes our dear camera chooses to flash while sometimes it doesn't. This is one of the time it flashes, and the background will be dark, hence the nice focus on the food. But aiya, this picture got one light at the back

Friday 8 Jan
1248
Taoyuan International Airport
Super early la...but life in Taiwan is more vibrant a night, so even if we had lingered in Ximending also nothing much. Time to return to SG. Sianess thinking of me having to recive O level results. Of course it would be great if I could make it to NJC, but it didn't la. Taiwan I really really lots of fun, definitely will like to go back again. Hey, anyway I only went North this time leh. While at the waiting place to board plane, overheard one interesting conversation:

Mum to daughter: What is your name?
Daughter (probably around 6): You know my name already ma, don't ask stupid question.

Haha, see how children can be so difficult to handle nowadays... Watched "Love Happens" on plane. Not very nice, that's all. Kind of expected storyline la. No feeling of "So great to be home!" when we reached Changi. I will miss Taiwan!

Thrilling Taiwan (Part 3)

Zhongshan Metro Mall
I think Metro Malls don't appeal to me. Anyway, mostly clothes and accessories are sold and my sis enjoys buying the latter. There are also works of art displayed on the walls of one stretch of walkway, like a mini art exhibition. However, I am also not one who appreciate art either, so going to metro malls wastes my time actually. Haha.

1208
Shin Kong Mitsukoshi
Haha, I love the name. It's 星光三越 in Chinese, sounds nice as well. Actually come here also didn't do anything. We expected the price of the items to be expensive and moreover we weren't really looking for anything as well, just there to see, and take some pictures to prove that we have been there before, lol. The place is classy...

Hooray, a proof that I've been there. Look at the chandelier. omg...

1225
鸡家庄
Time for some food! Now, this place is worth visiting already. The chicken is so succulent and so aromatic. We ordered one of their signature dishes: 三味鸡 and felt like ordering more, but needed to be more stringent... Anyway the 三味鸡 not that cheap leh. It's NT$420 if I'm not wrong.

Love. The. Chicken. Must must must dip the sauce that is near the rice. The sauce enhances the great taste

1300
六条通鱿鱼羹
Interesting shop name, I find. After eating the not-so-tasty 综合羹 previously, I didn't feel like eating more 羹s already...but my sister kept asking me to try and hmm! This one not bad!
Oh ya, I suddenly remembered something. This thing happened in Chiufen actually, while we were eating in a shop. Since this is like a similar scenario, I am reminded by it. Anyway it's really...cool. News were broadcasted on television in the shop, and it features one girl with a very special name called “冷静” Yes, her surname was "冷", (which is also her grandfather's surname) how extraordinary... So happened that her grandmother's surname was "宫", so if a girl marries into the family, she would be "嫁入冷宫", quoting what was on the news.
Since we missed out the Thermal Valley and the museum at Beitou yesterday, we returned there again.

1404
Xinbeitou MRT station
And walked to Thermal Valley. Sian, nothing one. The workers doing some sort of cleaning and maintenance, didn't think can go in. Merely took some pictures over there. The museum, haiz, need take off shoe, and don't think that there is really anything to see, so also didn't go in. In conclusion, the second trip to Xinbeitou is also wasted. So after that took MRT to Danshui again, intending to go Fisherman's Wharf.

Entrance of Xinbeitou MRT station, quite nice huh?

Thermal Valley

1540
Fisherman's Wharf
Firstly, the wind is strong. Secondly, it is very cold. Heard that at night when the Lover's Bridge is lighted up, it is a beautiful sight. In the end didn't wait till night la, coz didn't know how to spend the time there. Btw, the sky there turns dark faster, at 1730, it's like 1900 in Singapore already. Just put pictures here ba.

Boats at Fisherman's Wharf. Kind of "duh" right

On the Lover's Bridge, oh, but haven't found one yet. Maybe next time bring her here. Haha

Tempura and Vanilla Cuppucino

Actually wanted to go Danshui old street, but sister said seems nothing much, so okay lor, didn't go. Anyway, we really had (a lot) of time during the last 3 days, so even if we did go to Danshui old street also doesn't matter.

1813
Shida Night Market
Took MRT to Taipower Building MRT station then walk here. This night market is near a school. The students really shiok lah...so near a place with a wide variety of tasty food. Let pictures and captions do the introduction of the food.
After Shida night market, returned to hotel. Aiyo, return so early kind of wasted, but there seemed to be some other great food that we missed. Anyway, we were really full liao.

Aww man...this is so so so nice! You bite inside the bun then the juice spurt out inside your mouth one

I love this as well. The beancurd ultra soft and 入口即化. It's not exaggerating. The amount of strawberries they give is really generous and the milk smells really nice and tasty as well.

Wednesday 6 Jan
1115
Ximending
Didn't have hotel breakfast today, decided to go for something else in Ximending. 卤肉饭 wasn't as nice as that I ate at Chiufen. Beancurd wasn't as nice as that I ate at Shida Night Market as well. But never mind, they do not taste that bad after all. The boss of the beancurd shop had long fingernails and many tattoos and looked like those kind of rough Ah Beng. However, never judge a book by its cover; he was a really friendly man, who will say "thank you" after your patronage. In fact, you can encounter a lot of people liek him. In Singapore, how often do you hear a word of thanks from the owners of the retail outlets?

1214
East Metro Mall
This links Zhongxiao Fuxing and Zhongxiao Dunhua MRT stations. Again, nothing that appeal to me, but it does, to my sister, of course. Oh btw, though I don't really love this underground shopping experience, this underground connection does serve a useful purpose. After my sister is done with her shopping, we exited and were around Zhongxiao Dunhua for some food. Below shows the 2 of the 3 food we ate.

Of course not eat the shop. But this shop sells very very fragrant and healthy drinks

Their "dried noodles" not really dry one. I only like the noodles, actually. This is 哨子面, "Whistle Noodle".

Ok, finished eating, oh no, don't know how to get back to MRT station. Then we spotted a random entrance to the East Metro Mall. Hah, that means we can use it to get back to either Zhongxiao Fuxing or Dunhua station. Convenient...

1406
Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall
Getting here is easy. You will know de, if you interested in going. Inside, I saw the name of one room that attracted me. I forgot what it was, however. It turned out to be yet another art gallery. Since I have already gone there, just leaving like that very bo liao right... So although I wasn't really interested in those works of art, I still went in to take a look. Of course, all very beautiful, but see more already becomes boring for me, and not that kind of insatiable interest to wanna view more. Oh yes, and there was a sentence that made me wow.

“传承五千年光辉历史，
维护亿千里锦绣江山。”

The toilet there is really clean. Smells nice as well. Quite classy. I don't know why I comment on the toilet, maybe it's one of the few nice toilets I encountered. I bought a souvenir from the shop, but didn't take a picture of it. I wanted to put on my study desk but my mum koped it and it's now in my dad's car -.- Now, for the pictures:

Exterior of the memorial hall

Beside Mr Sun. Aiya, forgot to upload one more pic here. Never mind. Go FB view the album, people!

1541
Wufenpu
Went to take MRT to Houshanpi station, then walked to Wufenpu. Really a great place for buying clothes...but there is much more shops selling ladies wear than gentlemen. Ok now, for the very persuasive shop owner. Sometimes I really don't like it when I step into a shop then the staff come and introduce here and there. I want to take a look myself first... She kept rattling on and on and no gap for me to insert a word or two lor. Aiya, don't know la. Don't know how to reject and in the end bought a shirt for NT$800. Hello, I'm at Wufenpu leh, why the heck did I buy it... Anyway, later bought a decent jacket for NT$380. Ok now, this is much better...

A bad and a great deal made here

1714
Taipei 101 Shopping Centre
MRT-ed again to City Hall station and took free shuttle bus to 101. One stop before 101 the bus still very crowded. I thought majority of the people heading for 101 so it would be quite easy to alight, but alas, no! Sian diao, got to squeeze through the crowd. I sort of stepped/kicked onto someone's stuff. Hopefully it wasn't fragile. Didn't know if it was damaged or what, but I sincerely apologise for it!
Taipei 101 shopping centre is really a place for the rich lor. The things all branded and freaking ex. Saw one ultra ultra posh restaurant, but didn't see many people inside though. Taipei 101 building is linked to the shopping centre. Went to the 5th floor to buy tickes up the observatory. The staff said the view that day wasn't as clear... Hmm, nice, I thought. Of course they would wanna earn money right, but they still politely give advice nevertheless. Aiya, I also don't know when is the next time I will be going Taiwan already, if I didn't go up then I will feal real sorry to myself de lor. So, up we went then. Actually the view was ok la, not too bad.

Taipei 101 Shopping Mall

Exhibitions inside 101 tower. Aiyo, so black

A night view of Taipei city

Taken in 101 Observatory

The world's 2nd tallest skyscraper. Surpassed by Burj Khalifa in Dubai, thanks to a friend for the info. Ha...things are ever changing...

After that, went back to hotel liao~ Bought a packet of guava at Ximending. I love the fruits there, and the guava, not too hard, not that kind of tasteless one, and the plum powder is nice... Keep using "nice". Paiseh la, limited vocab. But there are many wonderful things...

201 Outing @ East Coast Park

2010-01-21T14:04:00.007+08:00

Shall heed Yanping's suggestion and post something else, before I return to the last two parts of Taiwan trip : )

Really had not get together for a very long time. Kind of good to have a gathering before we proceed to different schools, because next time it will be even difficult to meet up ba? The outing marks a beautiful comma to our 201 memories : )

Got to cycle again, which I am happy about, because I normally don't have the chance to do so. Did fall down once, but amazingly I wasn't injured at all...heard someone laughing, but what the heck, it's not as if bleeding profusely/the chain of the bike came off/anything that happened that made me so embarrassing ma. Good feeling to cycle alone, and enjoying the breeze, and watching the sea and the waves...at least not cooping myself at home ba. Played poker...and learnt "Bridge", but think I am not quite familiarised yet though.

Food is also nice. Quite a variety, and...don't taste bad :P I must express thanks to those who contributed in one way or another. (this makes me sound as if I am the organiser). Ah, I am not. So...the credit goes to Jessica and Qiqi for letting everyone have an opportunity to get together!

Took bus 196 to get home yesterday, and it was a stupid choice. I was wondering "Is Singapore so big?" Probably because I was too restless plus I was having a slight headache. However, the headache automatically disappeared not long after I alighted from the bus. Perhaps its just a psychological effect, because wasn't in a light-hearted mood on the bus. To confirm whether the bus we took was 196, I went Google and search, and stumbled upon a Starits Times article dated Apr 16 2009, titled "Singapore's most crowded bus: 196" Interesting...

Although I didn't talk to everyone, but did manage to exchange conversations with several people. Will be cool if we still can have a gathering like ten years or so later : ) The two pcitures below are taken from Yanping's FB albuic

Replies to tags:

Alfred: Hey man! When was the last time you tagged? Wow :D Haha, I love Taiwan too! Hopefully in the future can go with friends too, will be kind fo cool, I think.

Kaiting: Okay, can understand. Anyway, blogging also serves for the blogger to reminisce, so next time I myself can read ba. Heh, you tempted already? Visit TW someday!

Weide: Wa...you finished reading? Cool, and thanks ah. Ha, the food there is fabulous ok, and where there are people, there are nice food. Oh, not always foggy, just that the places you saw are at the mountains, or you saw a sea fog. Plus at this time of the year, it is colder.

Yanping: Ta-daa, post of 01 outing :D Actually quite good also...insert a "light" post now. P.S Posts of Taiwan are really energy draining.

Thrilling Taiwan (Part 2)

Sunday 3 Jan

Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT station
We were here to take a bus to Chiufen. I love Chiufen, but this day is the worst day of the trip though... Luckily unhappiness was not stirred up while we were still in Chiufen, or else it is really a big big spoiler. It is convenient that there is direct bus to Chiufen, and there wasn't many passengers on board, so there were seats available. When nearing Chiufen, we saw a temple within the mountains, literally, but sadly failed to take a proper pic of it.

1140
Chiufen
I also don't know how to describe Chiufen, but life seems peaceful there, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. In Chinese, I call it 世外桃源, people leisurely carrying their various activities, no disturbance, no commotions. We ate quite a couple of things, and I shall just use pictures here.

A street in Chiufen

Peanut and ice-cream wrapped in popiah skin, nice!

This is very nice as well, but too bad didn't take a picture of the food itself.

Right side one 卤肉贩, the other two forgot. Personally don't like the top one.

Oh yes, I bought most of the gifts for fellow friends over here as well. I simply love the shops because there is a huge selection of souvenirs you can purchase. Going to Chiufen felt like being transported back to the older days... Even if you are not that aged, you may still be reminded of your individual childhood times. Those times...how we were still innocent and naive, how we imagined ourselves as supermen or superwomen, how we cry at the sight of trivial things, our childish antics... Chiufen is a place of reminiscence.

1350
Yinyang Sea
We took the same bus as that we took from Zhongxiao Fuxing station to Chiufen, further up the mountains to watch the Yinyang sea. Though the sea was not ultra clear, it was still quite visible. Anyway, the view of the landscape from higher up the mountain was splendid. So, what else? Pictures here and there lo.

Chiufen at the background, and uncommon plants in the foreground.

Not very clear view of the sea.

Next, we took a bus a Keelung. Well, here was where the unhappiness started. Don't know why, but I just didn't feel like goign to Keelung. The place was recommended by the receptionist at the hotel, and yeah, there is a direct bus to Keelung from Chiufen. It will be a smooth plan, but the problem is we never did any research on that place and moreover, I felt we could go other places instead. The adventourous spirit, (which is actually one of the NCC values) suddenly vanished... I also didn't know why I cannot be more accomodating and why I wanted to leave that place. Anyway, we did take the bus to Keelung first...

1530
Keelung, Miaokou (Temple Mouth)
My sister was very obliging...so she agreed to leave lor. Thinking back, it's really very very wasted. Should have at least finish exploring the night market there, and take more pictures. There is the word "Keelung" displayed on a hill, just like Hollywood like that. But we were both not in a good mood so didn't stop to snap any...haiz.

Only this we ate at Keelung Temple Mouth. Flavoured shaved ice.

1640
Keelung Train Station
Yay, train, at least I tried this mode of transport while at Taiwan. But to me, it felt no different from MRT lah... Reached Taipei Main station at 1730, then switched to MRT back to Ximen station. Returned to hotel and the rest of the day is wasted watching variety shows in hotel. Actually still early la, can go one more place at least. But no mood, go also no use.

Monday 4 Jan
1130
Somewhere in Danshui
Just so you know, the hotel provided breakfast lah. Food isn't bad, but gets boring, so for the last three days, we go outside eat. And I skipped the waking up parts etc. No eat breakfast go explore, I think I can't handle la. We wanted to go Guanyin Mountain, but when we boarded a taxi, the driver told us that there was nothing to watch, and suggested going Jigong Temple. Ok lor, listened to him. After that he took us to explore the mountain, which was full of graves. Nothing to be scared of la, just that, though didn't go Guanyin Mountain, this change of plans didn't seem very enjoyable either. However, he was friendly and kept telling stories la.. He brought us to the grave of a wealthy Taiwanese, whose name I forgot. But I remember there are two words, and his surname is "Chai".

So silly to go Danshui in the morning. Danshui old streets should not have too many stalls operating, and Fisherman's Wharf at night see then better ma. So the taxi driver drove us to Xinbeitou MRT station, but along the way, stopped at Guandu pier.

Taken just outside Danshui MRT station.

Jigong Temple

1400
Beitou
The MRT station is called Xinbeitou, but the place is still Beitou ba? This is the part I'm unsure of... We went to a bathhouse first :D There labelled "hot spring water", and I think it's genuine la... Didn't go public hot spring because I'm a shy guy. HAHA. I guess readers must be puking now or trying to hit me. Soaked until 1440, then wanted to go other places... BUT! As it is a Monday, the Thermal Valley and the Hot Spring Musuem closed lah! TAKE NOTE LEH, MONDAY.

The bathhouse we went to.

1500
The Wooden Library
This library is cool. Don't know how to describe. In fact, I don't feel like describing la, but ultra conducive for research or homework, trust me.

After that just took pictures here and there, and took MRT back to Ximen.

The very nice library. You should go in and take a look yourself. I didn't look at the books at all, coz I seldom read, lol. Would be a good place for bookworms though :P

1627
85 Degree Celsius Cafe
Not that the wall temperature registers 85degrees or the water they serve is at 85degress, but I just don't know how the cafe got it's name. But...who cares? What you need to know is the food, the food! Look:

Mine is 法式千层 or French Thousand Layers (yellow one). I forgot the name for my sister's one. Oh, and the drink is 巧克力布丁奶茶 or Chocolate Pudding Milk Tea. Listen to the name already wanna eat liao, at least for me.
The taste of the layered cake...goodness and heavenly...it just melt in your mouth. Your tongue can really feel the layers... It is not just once piece of soft cake! It's like a layer of softness, then a little resistance before another layer of soft. Creamy, but not too over, just the right amount to tempt you asking for more and not make you sick of it. The smell lingers in your mouth and make you wanna lick the wrapping clean as well! Well, I already tried my best to describe. If it don't help, only one advice: Eat to believe.
Returned to hotel and after that and left again shortly to Kunming Station to meet Yanping and her family. Haha, like Yanping, will continue this another day.

Thrilling Taiwan (Part 1)

2010-01-15T17:04:00.011+08:00

The trip was absolutely fabulous, but the news of my results upon returning to Singapore sure is a wet blanket. Since this post is dedicated to beloved Taiwan, I shall not infuse unhappy stuff here then... Have always wanted to go Taiwan, now the dream has finally been fulfilled. Can't express enough thanks to my mum for sponsering the tickets and hotel charges, and my sister who accompanied me for this trip. Really hope to go again next time, perhaps, and hopefully this time, after receiving good news for A level results.
This post is going to be in a similar format as Mr Seow's. Two reasons for you to choose to believe in, firstly, it's rather organised la, and secondly, it's normal to post like this lor. I think this post is going to be freakish long.

Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport
Really unsure of how to describe the jubilance in me. I, am, stepping, on, Taiwan, ground! Like a small child who is learning how to pronounce each and every word clearly and accurately. Amazed at everything, the weather, the airport, (not as nice as Changi, but because it's Taiwan's airport, lol), the people... Can't believe I am approx 3k plus kilometres away from home, away from my place of work and stress.After checking in, (right term right? I sort of remembered seeing it at the airport) proceeded to take a bus to hotel. Before we could do so, a taxi driver approached us and offered NT$800 to bring us to our hotel straight, and claiming that there is a huge jam on the road. Sounds convenient of course, but ultra ex! He's not trying to overcharge, but some earn like this. You can form a car pool, provided people going to the same area as you, then it would be cheaper lor. Don't really know how to reject initially but of course didn't take up the offer la. Yea one very big problem of mine. I don't know how to reject people who keep persuading me. Same thing happened at Wufenpu, which I will talk about. The bus...took quite long to arrive, and the trip...is long too. However, not because of huge jam lor. Reached Taipei Main Station, then took a short taxi ride to hotel.

1650
Rainbow Hotel
Unbelievable. Took so much time. After settling down then walked outside to Ximending :D OMG, I love this sentence. Our hotel is actually within Ximending la. Want food just go down and grab something. Want bustling atmosphere just go down and join crowd. Talking about bustling, as Friday is a mini-weekend already, the place was really full of people. Ximending is full of rubbish bins, that explains why the streets and generally clean. Ate lots of yummy food. 葱抓饼, is what I call the Taiwan version of roti prata.

Tasty chicken, but sadly, there are bones

Mochi!!!

Yep, Taiwanese are generally polite and nice, as what teacher said too. I happened to hold a piece of garbage in my hands and when the 7-eleven cashier saw it, she offered to help me throw into trash bin behind her. A small gesture, but great great warmth. Of course, there are more instances of them being nice la.

Wanted to eat Ay Chung vermicelli, but the queue was. Ahem. LONG. So never mind, decided to go back another day. See the ultra long queue.

1952

Longshan Temple MRT Station

One trip "ticket" is in the form of a counter. So cool :D Later then realised to purchase "easy link" cards. I forgot the name, but you know it's the entry card uh. Walked around aimlessly, and spotted a shop selling shoes for NT$199. Really inexpensive, so my sister went to get herself one pair. Finally stopped by a night market.

2018

西昌街观光夜市

Actually nothing much here. Ate 综合羹 from a random stall and...it isn't nice. You might have heard of this dish on TV before, but maybe you wanna eat it at a renowned stall. Later went to 八方云集 to eat dumplings. I really like that name of the shop, and their slogan. (this stall is recommended in a travel guide) The dumplings are nice, but the boss has attitude problems. Never mind, there are more nicer people to cover this fault.

2102

Ximen MRT station

Returned to hotel and rested... then went out again :D Since the queue for Ay Chung vermicelli was much shorter now so we had it for...supper, you can say. Time we had it: 2240.

Saturday 2 Jan

Reception counter of Rainbow Hotel

Very helpful receptionists. We enquired how to go Yangmingshan and they talked in such a patient and clear tone, with smiles constantly on their faces. In fact, they really offered us much help for our trip... We left for Zhongshan MRT station and took bus 260 to Yangmingshan. Got a little lost before we found the bus stop... And the bus stops simply have two or more stands there. No shelter, no seats, and hence, not distinctive enough.

1223

Yangmingshan

Greenery everywhere, with salubrious mountain air. I truly felt peaceful and relaxed. Crazy to walk by yourself, coz you cant get to most other areas, unless driving. It's advisable to take the bus up the mountain and to other places like 擎天岗; the bus stops at places of attraction. 擎天岗 is a place we didn't go. I think choose around 2 stops like this can liao, because firstly, may feel very tired, and secondly, mostly just green and green, see a bit too much gets boring ah. We went 冷水坑 and 七星山. 1415, we returned to the "base" Yangmingshan bus stop, where we were originally at. Then took bus back to Taipei city.

View from Mt Cising

At Leng Shui Keng

1514

Jiantan MRT station

We alighted here due to a little dispute with my sister. One of us said to alight at Taipei Main station, the other said to alight at Zhongshan station. I forgot why we alighted at Jiantan anyway, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Miramar, the ferris wheel place which appeared in the Taiwan Idol drama "换换爱", was one of the places we planned to go. And so happened that there is a free shuttle bus just outside Jiantan station! The plan has such a smooth transition man...

1538

Miramar Entertainment Park

Basically just boarded the ferris wheel and snap pictures... Didn't shop or eat there. Well, day two only, dare not anyhow spend leh. Anyway got a lot others haven't eat one.

Miramar Entertainment Park, yo. Can see the ferris wheel ba?

Boarding the ferris wheel in the day doesn't matter, because you can see the landscape clearly ar... At night cant see as clearly, but the lights make the place pretty. So I personally think both timing are fine :D After we decided to leave Miramar, it was time to grab a bite. We asked a taxi driver how to get to a restaurant we planned to go and wow, he told us it was within walking distance. Again the plan went so smoothly. Feel kind of stupid for not crossing the traffic lights earlier. We were trapped between an endless stretch of no traffic lights and a long distance from the traffic lights we missed. So...jaywalked lor. Wow, it was cool...The roads were relatively busy and we crossed the first half when the lights for vehicles turned red. Same for the second half.

1703

Five Dime Driftwood Restaurant

Gosh, this restaurant has a really really interesting architecture. Look below:

Exterior of Five Dime Driftwood restaurant

Interior of Five Dime Driftwood restaurant

It is very special and theme-related. FYI, this restaurant only opens at 1700, at least for the branch we ate at la. The food, a little ex though... There are I forgot how many types of set meals, catered to individuals, because the serving of each dish tells. though the two of us, but we only ordered 1 set la, costing NT$600. However, the waiter said that each person must order something, so ordered a side dish, 三杯鸡. the restaurant has a lot of storeys...and I wonder if it would ever be filled/客满. Finished already, taxi-ed to our next stop.

1840

Shihlin Night Market

Eat, again! Come Taiwan of course eat eat eat de la. But sad leh, I think I didn't gain much weight upon returning here. Should be happy that I might never become a fatty, or sad that I wasted money and never grow? D: It's a Saturday, so what do you expect? Tonnes of people! Oh gosh, so many good food leh!!! Bought 盐水鸡, as what I often see from the food programmes on TV. BUT, I personally don't like it, one of the reasons is, it's cold. This part use pictures ba.

Very nice Jiantan MRT station, probably for people to recognise from afar

Famous and BIG chicken cutlet

I recommend this. Heard from sis that there is one stall selling, outside AMK Hub

Mouth-watering and wide array of snacks

Haha, that's all for now. P.S posting this really demands lots of time and energy, for me. Please look forward to part 2? Haha...

You Good

2010-01-12T21:52:00.007+08:00

Haven't post about Taiwan trip, (perhaps another day) or how terrible it is to receive my crappy results, but I have a strong urge to post something now.

Someone says:
i personally like hci
JUNWEI says:
aww but i cant enter. behind should have added "for a 5 pointer"
Someone says:
5 pt u arent going njc either

12/1/2010, 2nd great blow of the year, after results. I must really try my best and work hard for A levels. I guess it's my last chance.

Goodbye and Hello

2009-12-31T23:03:00.009+08:00

Hard to believe that today is the last day of 2009 already... Hmm...this year has not been as great as 2007 for me, but still okay ba, and it sure passed swiftly. Moving on to tertiary education next year...wonder if I can take it it... :X Hope JC life would be pleasant and memorable, in a good way. Lastly, Happy New Year to all!

Watched "Bodyguards and Assassins, 十月围城" just now with Cindy and Kaiting. Fifth and last movie that I watched in this year... Very few uh...haha, I am like that de la.

As usual, put a pic first.

Good movie. A lot of cheem Chinese can learn, but cannot memorize most. Maybe I will re-watch it someday... There are parts that are truly touching, tried to fight back tears...and there are brutal and violent killings. Some supermen in the movie could still stagger after receiving several slashes, and continue eliminating the baddies.. But without them, then there will be nobody to kill those villains already la... In addition, here are few things I want to say:

1. Eric Tsang really has a distinctive voice.

2. Nicholas Tse acts really well.

3. Donnie Yen possesses really good kung fu.

Ha...notice the 3 "really"s. What I am saying is really really the truth la.

Today quite suay ar. The two major "mishaps" are: Spilled 4/5 of the popcorn before I ate any -.- and spilled 3/4 of the drink at Subway before I drank any. Haiz, so clumsy... Never mind, next year don't so suay leh...

Snapped this picture while taking the LRT just now.

A way to save electricity? Then save more uh, coz I like this kind of atmosphere, without all the lights on :D

Heading for airport around 7.15am. Bye Singapore~~~ Yayness...

Movie - Avatar

2009-12-24T22:28:00.004+08:00

I guess I'm really tired... Like how I dragged this post till this hour. Wanted to research something about Taiwan, but my eyelids feel so heavy and there isn't any tingle of excitement. Even when watching my favourite variety shows, I am in a zombie-like condition. Oh anyway, I think I really put in effort to narrate the last few posts; I wonder if anybody noticed/are recognised. But never mind uh, at least next time when I'm bored or feeling emotional, I can recall the events that are happening now. Working is energy draining. Aargh...6 more days, I'll try my very best to pull through. The 970 which I boarded today has a wind chime dangling down there. And it's noisy...at first. Perhaps I was too tired, I was in a semi-asleep state, and then I did not seem to be bothered by all the sounds already...

Oh yes. I watched Avatar yesterday, with Eunice, Jason and Yanping. I had 2 surprises.

1. Initially I thought it would not be a day that fun, but it turned out not bad.

2. The movie was unexpectedly nice.

I insert a picture first.

At the start, could not understand what the heck was happening. But as it progresses, everything automatically, slowly unfolds and I entered the world of...Avatar. Ok, sounds stupid. Some parts quite weird, as in will question "How can that be possible"/"Why not like this..." and the length of movie is approximately 2.5 hours. Buttocks and legs so numb/sore after the movie but overall still a good movie. I will rate it higher than 3.5, lower than 4.5. That's all for my personal comments. Kind of short uh, but nothing is flowing into my mind. I don't need to briefly talk about the storyline etc, coz I believe the independent and smart you can go and check it out at any website, right?

Erm, what else... Oh ya. Christmas tomorrow. Guess I won't be posting ba...nothing to post about, unless something of an impact happens. So, Merry Christmas to all inadvance then. I think my Christmas is going to be a boring one...how sad. But, never mind. My New Year's Day is going to be a splendid one.

Good night peeps.

2009-12-21T21:59:00.007+08:00

Said to post on the twentieth, but could not fork out any time yesterday. I am counting down to a BIG day. Eight more working days and I shall be freed from Buona Vista NTUC Fairprice.

Have been waking up at 5 in the morning everyday, from the third working day onwards. Actually I should go home at 12.30 pm, but always exceed the stipulated time. Plus, I heard there is no extra pay for overtime, so I shall wait and see how much my pay is uh, how meagre for that amount of work input.

Previously mentioned about me enjoying taking bus 970 home. Now for the second reason: because the bus passes by hillview. According to Mr Seow's blog, he mentioned that he used to take bus 67 to school everyday with his senior. As 970 passes by the area, I can somewhat imagine them together on the bus, chatting, and displaying a close friendship bond. Though I harbour this thought which makes the journey more interesting, in a way, long term thinking of the same thing becomes mundane. Moreover, I am terribly lethargic that I confirm that I can fall asleep within a minute on the bus. Hence, for the subsequent trips after numerous days, it became just a plain bus ride.

Although I have not quit yet, I would like to hold an award presentation now.

The Most Insulting
*Drum rolls* This award goes to a middle-aged man who does not look at all friendly at sight. That fateful day, he bought item A. The cashier was unable to scan the barcode on the product and she happened to see me, so she asked me to bring the label of the product to her. The unfortunate event began. All items have their respective labels on the shelving, except for that hateful item A. How lucky can you get sometimes... Don't know why I did not go back again and simply told the cashier I could not find it. Instead, I wasted time over there. The man then marched up to me and blurted "Where is your brain?"With that, he grabbed 2 item X and stormed off. I encountered a mixture of feelings. Firstly, hurt by his statement, and secondly, found him ludicrous. "How was he supposed to know the price of item A by taking item X?" After I was rooted to the ground for a few seconds, I returned to the cashier, and, handling me those 2 item X, she told me the man didn't want them. Also, she said she could scan already... Stupid barcode scanner, you harmed me.

The Most Finicky
Goes to a woman. The atmosphere was peaceful and I was quietly weighing bananas away at the weighing station. This woman put a broccoli in a plastic bag and came to have it weighed. Ok, did it for her, and then the problem came. She complained "You added the weight of the plastic bag inside too, right?"
I was amazed. First time I heard someone complaining about this trivial matter. I told her that the weight is negligible. She did not seem to accept that. So I proved it to her by weighing the broccoli without the plastic bag and the result: Cheaper by one cent. I think my tone was not really good, but of course could not quarrel with her. She said "Don't try (that the price won't differ much), how you know?" And then, she carried on to say that the broccoli was dirtied because I previously placed bananas over there and explained that because of that, she placed it in the plastic bag initially. Wahseh, really... Thus, she wanted to get a new one. For one broccoli, I weighed three times.

The Most Brilliant
Woman. Not mentally stable. It's the truth. She wanted a specific type of chicken, and spoke in a hokkien term which I did not understand. So I sought help from a cashier coz she happened to be free. The woman repeated the same thing to her and the cashier asked back "So what type of chicken you want?" But the woman did not elaborate, so it's hard to understand. I had to do something, so I left them. Later when I met the cashier, I asked her how she handled the difficult customer. She replied "Simply took one random chicken and told her that's the one."

The Most Irritating
Mistaken for a Malay. I really look like Malay huh?! Someone, I forgot who, said before that I look like Taiwanese. Love that comment. Some customer talked to me in Chinese at first, but automatically switch to English. They never say, but I believe they treat me a a Malay.

The Most Satisfying
Customers who thank you repeatedly. Sense of achievement for helping them, even if did not manage to help, feel appreciated.

I really want to sign my resignation form ASAP...

Good evening, dear readers. Today, I have some thing to post about. Firstly, let me share with you a video. This is 阿布 and 郭鑫 in the Taiwanese Variety Show, "挑战 101" screened on 20090807. Unfortunately, the quality isn't good, but I only found two sites which has this video, and two videos and of equal inferior quality. You can see that they are really good friends, though it is a bit mushy. Whether you heard of the two of them or not, or you only heard of one, or you are totally unfamiliar with both, try to watch it! Anyway, you can improve your Chinese by watching more Taiwan variety shows. Really.

http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/kJQR6aa_4pE/

Tomorrow is finally my first break after numerous arduous days at work. Hey, if not for Taiwan, I wouldn't have wanted to work. Besides, working isn't fun. Actually, it's all/majority because of money, right? This part shall be entitled "Work Experience Part I". Will post part two on the twentieth. My job is a retail assistant. For part one, I shall just talk about my interview, about today and post a picture.

Okay, interview. Stupid. The manager was reluctant to hire someone who will only work for a short perod of time. If I choose Poly, clinching the job would be much of a breeze, because Poly only starts in...April? Hence, the manager was pondering and pondering and bombarding me with questions. "Why do you want to work in the first place?" "Why choose this job over others?" "If a customer ask you a question, how would you handle it?" "Are you willing to work on weekends and during Christmas period?" ... ...

Here comes the worst part. I told him I only wanted to work till thirtieth. Then he said, January I can still work. While waiting for my results and while waiting for JUNIOR COLLEGE confirmation. He told me not to resign on December first, because if I cannot get into Junior College, then I go Poly, it means I can work longer. The underlined clause made my blood boil. Luckily he still slipped in a "touch wood" in between. And sorry manager, even if I can't get into JC, I still would not work in January #%$!?!@&#^

Today after I left, I heard from Cindy that there was "chaos" because there was not enough staff. Lol. I really cannot believe how busy it would get in the afternoon. Most of the work is in the morning ok. Moreover, two staff should work the afternoon shift, so where were they? Should they fail to turn up for work at the eleventh hour, its not our fault right? Tomorrow day off, so don't know what is going to happen. Wait and see then.

I take LRT and switch to MRT to work, but take bus 970 home after. Partly because there is always a seat to rest my sore legs and oxidise the accumulated lactic acid in the muscles. The picture shows how empty it can be.

One seat for myself, one for my bag, one for my lunch, one for my water bottle, and one for my umbrella. That's all for today. Bye~

Yanping: Haha, act mysterious a bit. I update liao, must read! I put in effort, and catch the vid ok? But if cannot load or find the quality unbelievably bad then never mind ba.
Swee Yee: Ha, lip sync is good enough. People will think you are singing :D Yay, badminton rocks right?
Jiamin: Yea, glad you know that lei! Haha, why are you surprised? :D O.o see me next year? It is ultra difficult for us to meet. The chances would be reduced if I manage to enter NJC. But again, may not be able to do so.
Alien: Ok, I will jiayou. BUT. Sometimes complain is really can't help it de leh, you agree ma?

2009-12-01T15:27:00.004+08:00

My body is aching all over from the badminton yesterday. Would doing warm-up and cool-down exercises before and after helped? Anyway, I like it. Badminton is perhaps my favourite sport. Actually I don't have much to talk about... Oh ya, I thought about something. Majority seems to be working (hard), and I feel weird. If I earn money, then my XX trip will be a much more enjoyable and shiok one :p On the other hand, too lazy... Also, some people really makes me wonder about them.

What Brings Joy

2009-11-21T17:38:00.007+08:00

A Christmas Carol, in cinemas now.

Watched the above movie yesterday at GV Plaza with Bing Cai, Cindy, and Kai Ting. The movie should start at 1845 and we entered the theatre at 1840. I thought the theatre would have been packed with people and the advertisements were already screening. However, it was not what we expected. Less than 20 people were present in the cinema and we broke out laughing unknowingly. Well, the movie was just officially launched in Singapore cinemas two days ago ma. I can say it's a movie worth the ticket price. Warning to those who are interested to watch the movie but have not done so: If anywhere you anticipate an impending fright, then it's likely to happen, and brace yourself for it. I jumped at one part, and thought "Am I the only silly one who got frightened?" After the movie I realised my dear friends were equally spooked as well :D As to find out what is the "one part" or maybe some others, catch the movie today! Plus, it's three dee~

Actually I could have just give a longer recount of yesterday, and only about yesterday. However, I think that above paragraph should suffice. I did not want to mix two irrelevant topics in a single post, but I have decided to do it.

I was reading Mr Seow's blog. Should I address him "Yongli"? He told us not to call him "mister" already. Aye...he has not updated for at least half a year and I wonder if he'll talk about his Venice trip? Anyway, I spent quite a lot of time there, reading about his Melbourne and Taipei trips. For the former, I only read parts one and the last. Maybe I will return someday to finish reading the rest. But for the latter, I read everything. I guess the biggest reason is because I am mad about going to Taiwan. Cool~he made those two trips by himself. A very independent traveller, I must say. Though his friend gave him some recommendations, but ultimately, which places to visit, or information of attractions etc, he have to figure them out himself. I reckon he has done a lot of homework beforehand...

I must also say that he's an adventurer ar... Like renting a car to drive on the unfamiliar roads of Melbourne and having his own "Initial D" experience, and travelling to ulu parts of Taiwan. (Attracted by the beautiful scenery ar) Shiok...but for me, I think I won't be able to take it or handle solo travelling. Last but not least, I hope I can make my trip this holidays!!! Firstly, to escape from Singapore, and secondly, to achieve that sense of fulfillment. Even if can't make it now, next year. I can't stand for more than a year.

2009-11-19T16:43:00.005+08:00

Totally no sadness and reluctance about ending this thing. In fact, I think that this is the wisest choice in the century.

I didn't give in to you throughout this messaging session, and similar for you. If I give in to you then I must be crazy. Since can't communicate AT ALL, might as well end. This is the best decision I've ever made in my life so far.

我的心，想旅行。
I thought posting in Chinese would be interesting, but it seems to have created a little upheaval instead o.O It's ok, maybe I won't do it so often, meaning someday I'll still do so :D
The picture above was taken by me during the car ride back to Malaysia on Sunday. Such a picturesque, plus superb photography skills :D I still have somemore, but I think posting one should be sufficient. The title, koped from the 阿布's blog. It was the title of one of his posts, and I like it a lot. Translated to English, it's "My heart wants to go on a holiday." How many 阿布 do you know of? I'm sure who you think should be the one :D

It was great to return to Malaysia. At least I have something to do. I'm still contemplating whether to stay there for a week or so at my Ah Ma's house. I get to ride a bicycle there. After I learnt it in December 2007, (refer to archives, 201 Chalet post) I've not rode it for more than 5 times since then. So of course need to have some practice to hone riding skills, because I tend to get very unstable. Unluckily for me, two of my cousins who I usually play with, had to work (at a cake shop) that day. So I just lingered around, talked, and helped to fold some boxes. Fortunately, the boss didn't chase me out, or else I really don't know what to do to pass the day.

The interesting thing came at night, when one of the two of my cousins was the only one tending the shop. The boss had returned home, and would come back later to close the shop. It was a golden opportunity for something mischievous. I took a drink without paying. Instead of stopping me, my cousin also took bread and ice-cream for himself. He did everything while giving the sentence,(with an air of superiority) "I'm an employee, he won't do anything to me."

I thought, "He can sack you, can't he?"

今天终于考完试了。最后一份卷子，还算满意，只是前面有些不知到可不可以达到目标。最后一天了，但我的人生感觉好像无趣了一点。待会儿一群朋友将去购买他们（是二十五号吗？）当天晚会的服装。听起来还蛮爽的啊，但我没有后悔不参加。另一方面，你们就尽情的大玩特玩吧！而我呢，就呆在家里面对电脑啦。
对于假期，简直一片茫然。好想去台湾啊... 不想跟旅行团去，自己去又不懂如何搭捷运等。唉，有去再说吧。可能找个时间看看电影，毕竟考完试又把自己锁在家里，岂不时对自己的一种虐待吗？
啊~中学过得还算难忘，也助我成长了不少。虽然不愉快是几乎每天都有，但快乐时光也少不了。何况，人生有时崎岖，坎坷，更衬托生命多姿多彩。这么一想，算有些开朗吧？

博克被我弃了好久... 最近发现，其实偶尔分享一些生活点滴，就算不常更新，但至少有个地方抒发情感，还算不错。
O 水准考试即将告一段落。再多五天，我便是一条龙了。哈哈。这次考试，有些傻到不行的错误，也有些 “天啊，没有读” 的感想，再加些难料的结果。一句话，真不知能否跨过国初那好高好高的门槛。
今天从健身房回到家时，妈妈告诉我，外公去世了。会很没人性吗？但我并没有太大的失落感。或许是因为每逢农历新年才回去一次，没有太多回忆和相处机会吧。可是，感想是有的。其中一个，是在想妈妈是否会有些后悔，这两年来，都说在新年不要回马呢？唉，她担心路途遥远，爸爸不够精力驾驶... 但是，今天父母与姐姐要回去，爸爸还不是照样在驾车吗？而且，也夺走了我见亲戚的机会。
唉，有时觉得大人做事，都人为自己很对。子女不能顶嘴，其实有些不对。但要和气的说，更重要的是，大人得听！
这两天得拼命读地理。掺。到此为止吧，再见~

Ultra late replies to tags:
Aggy: Not bad eh? I got from Denise's blog actually. She changed URL around 3 times already man. Oh don't ask why I go, hop hop only.
Zacc: Hah, nice, ok thank you~~ Me? Random songs la, can be English or Chinese, depends on mood. My singing sucks, that's why do in toilet. Lol, if you just took time to read, you will surely spot it. Do you have a blog btw?
Fengyu: O.o I like your reply to my post. Lol, I understand. If gay then still desperately woo girl meh? Haha!
Alien/guangliang_lover: Oh no, don't use this style. So insane, like ELXH. June holidays? Not bad. I like Youth Day holiday. Even a day can be great for me.
Jiro_lover: Why purposely change le? Mad mad. Especially Friday, sounded so pathetic...
Jason: Half. Do fun fun only, and only when nobody's at home. Lol, you never see with your own eyes ma.
Brandon: WOW. Nice and surprised to see you. Ha, sure. Play play like that quite fun, and can BOND. Whee, I sound gay :D

又好久没更新博客了... 但现在不就回来了吗？呵呵~~
最近 “沉迷” 于中国国家跳水队选手的纪录片。应该是从 2004 年雅典奥运会开始喜欢观看跳水项目的吧。这纪录片名为“我的奥林匹克”，简略的讲述中国体坛选手的的经历。他们有达过辉煌的颠峰，但也有坠落彷徨谷底的时候。其中一名跳水员，胡佳，是上次非常崇拜的。他很努力训练，终于在 2004 年雅典奥运中获得单人十米跳台的冠军，但是，却付出了一个很大的代价。他随后膝盖严重受伤，被伤痛缠着，结果不得不退出国家队，失去了 2008 年北京奥运会的入场券。他说，他觉得自己当时训练得太过了。的确，朝着自己的目标迈进是一回事，但同时也该好好照顾自己呀~
如果说长江后浪推前浪，那么林跃及火亮这对年轻组合便是那‘后浪’了。火亮今年二十岁，而林跃只有十八岁。他们参加了不少双人十米跳台比赛，取得了非常优异的成绩。对了，人们都称他们为 “月亮”组合，有意思吧 :D 他们从小就练习跳水，比赛时配合也相当有默契，然而，性格却完全不同。哈，这不禁让我联想起我和康俊兄 ... 总之，从小开始练习一样东西，会打下更好的基础。哪像我，到了这把年纪才拉筋，有些困难。咦？好像把自己说得很老。
我想，每个人的兴趣与喜好都不同，最好说到这里吧。其实，也不是白看了那些纪录片。因为那些选手的故事都很鼓舞人心，叫人做事不可轻言放弃。其中最令我感动的是跳水员秦凯所说的： “自己选择的路，跪着也要把它走完。”
唉，回到学业上，还有个地理测验没读，O 水准考试也逐渐逼近。想到就压力。有时觉得中国的教育程度也许不如新加坡，但生活可能会轻松点，而我也或许有机会学跳水 ... 哇，多好。惨，又在做梦。好了，就此搁键盘，容后再叙。（也不知自己什么时候会再更新）

In this life, we all need Friends. Without Friends, we’re all nothing.
Friends, stand by each other.
Friends, cheer up each other.
Friends, hang out with each other.
Friends, keep one another smiling.
Friends, are there when you need them.
However, there are many different kind of people.
Different kind of people causes different kind of Friends.
There are Friends, who came across your heart, and left in a short while.
There are Friends, who came across your heart, and wished to stay for a bit.
There are also Friends, who came across your heart, and wished to stay forever.
Friends, who come and go.
Those who came and promised to stay forever, but eventually left, and broke your heart.
And Friends, who promised to stay forever, but you’re the one who chased them out of your heart.
There are Friends, who appeared to be really friendly, kind and caring, but turned out to be one of the most scheming fox in the world, backstabbed you, leaving you with nothing.
There are also Friends, who were there when you needed them most. When the one you loved most left you, they’re there.

In addition, replies to tags~
JIRO_LOVER: Whoo cool, you read the book? Watched the movie? Strongly recommended by me :D And hor, I also recommend you not to use this name again man.
Guest: Ha, if you know me well, you should know. Anyway, nothing la, was too exaggerated, lol. Leaving your name would be better : )
Alien: Yay, found someone who likes this song and the movie like I do. High five man!
Jason and Zacc: Ha, mini chatroom for the both of you, thanks, made the tagboard quite lively. Thanks Jason for standing up for me ar.

Lastly, this song was recommended by Brandon (again) last year :D Westlife is a good band to support!

2009-06-03T17:06:00.002+08:00

Ok, blog is dead for a longgggg time again. Sinful, because this post is belated... Happy Birthday to Cass (30 May) and Yan Ping (2 June)
I hope the two of you will like and keep my letters okay~ All the best in everything, most importantly, 人生苦短，so hope you have a happy life, and won't be like me!
Ah yes, I should share something. Long time ago, I was eating at KFC with my parents when I encountered something interesting. A female customer came, and the manager specially came to serve her. 'Some kind of VIP wor?' I thought, and oh...she was one of those...more difficult to handle ones.
She started questioning, "What is this ar? What kind of meat is this? How much? If I order this, then do I get this?"
The manager was patient nevertheless. Well, my father was also saying, "Must give way to customers or else they, especially this kind, complain then die."
When the customer fianlly ordered, got her food, checked properly, she thanked the manager, saying that she was very kind.
Heh, the manager was humourous eh. She said, "Today you spend 9 minutes."
Lol.
Wanted to post this lat time already, but...lazy :D Btw, 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' is nice! I like those kind of shows with witty and intelligent characters, got that kind of thrill and impressive feeling.
Alrighty, I talk too much. (LOL) See ya sometime! Tag at your own risk, lol. Yes, finally decided to change song, but for the skin, I can't load the webpage, so I guess 'll do it sometime later?

Replies to long time ago tags
Eunice: Lol, I meant imeem sadist, not you la. Why suddenly would say you huh?
Alien: The English exam is over long ago, but still have not gotten back results. Have the confidence? :D
Aggy: Haha, my mood is very unpredictable~ Hope I have REAL holidays soon!
Fengyu: Thanks for your tag!!
Zacc: Yo! Wow, such a long tag, I appreciate it! Yeah, of course slack la, no need to take orders form seniors and stepping down soon. Ya la, you get supernumerary then COMPLACENT already ma! :D Well, the number 3 uniform is nice, but if you wear it, given your figure, it would be another story...Haha!
Yanping: I reply you with a tag : )

王杰 - 一场游戏一场梦
不要谈什么分离
我不会因为这样而哭泣
那只是昨夜的一场梦而已
不要说愿不愿意
我不会因为这样而在意
那只是昨夜的一场游戏

那只是一场游戏一场梦
虽然你影子还出现我眼里
在我的歌声中早已没有你
那只是一场游戏一场梦
不要把残缺的爱留在这里
在两个人的世界里不该有你

为什么道别离
又说什么在一起
如今虽然没有你
我还是我自己
说什么此情永不渝
说什么我爱你
如今依然没有你
我还是我自己

Common Tests sucked to the core. Sucked to the neutron of hydrogen atom. Haiz, shall not talk about this depressing matter I guess.
Yeah, basically that's the highlight for today. I am ultra lazy to post. Zzz, unless there comes a day I am ultra happy. Which is impossible, I strongly believe.

Replies
Jiamin: Haiz Jiamin, when you see my results you will know le. That's a wishlist ma, does not reflect the truth...
Aggy: Haha... Eh, how to reply this tag? :D
Susu: We see each other at school ar... Haha, you're wrong. I won't go for ROD. Aiya, you know de la, it's so weird. Enjoy yourself!
Fara: Hoho, that's good then. Sometimes penning down thoughts can help relieve stress~!
Yanping: I'm not as sociable as you ba... Introvert! :X Sometimes wanna graduate faster, but sometimes think will miss friends~
Weide: Yeah, laziness leads to 'brilliant' results like mine!
Qiuwen: Haha, nope... Oh ya, Add Maths was still okay, but my Bio sucked.
Yongxiang: Lol... Misconception lor, I'm not pro.
Eunice: Haiz, what's wrong with imeem huh? Sadist?
Alien: Hello! Thanks!
Jade: Lol, sometimes old songs can be very meaningful... Saying 'dead' sounds a bit over leh... Wow, you're so informative. Btw, the movie looks nice... Got chance wanna watch :D

10 May, Happy Mother's Day =D
Would be having a meal together as a family, at least, so that this day would not be regarded as insignificant :D Jason bought Bird's Nest for his mum leh... So filial and willign to spend... Salute!
Luckily tomorrow no need go to school, giving me one more extra day to revise. YAY, SS and HCL were not disappointing. But cannot be complacent right? That's only 1.5 out of 9 subjects. Yong Xiang ar, next time try not to shout here shout there hor... Might cause misunderstandings de. Haiz, I ar, maybe should have widened the circle of friends, so that whatever school events won't feel that bored, but eh, too late liao la...
Cool, yesterday first time having tuition with Yan Ping, and she encouraged me to say 'Hi' to a student who used to be in the same tuition class as me in P4. Not bad leh, still remember my name, and wow, he was friendly. But not sure whether have chance to meet again. He better say 'Hi' to me next time if he sees me in public! His turn to take initiative liao -.- Ok, I sound like a boss.
Haiz, imeem still doesn't work. I have decided to withdraw my support already...anyway, it not a bad thing to try out a different web music right? Actually, I don't really know what song to put, but since this song is from Ronan Keating's 'Songs for my Mother' album, and today happens to be Mother's Day, then just put ba. I like the lyrics and the tune of the line 'Time after time'. lololol...
No matter how hard life can be, it has to go on.

Ronan Keating - Time After Time
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
Caught up in circles,
confusion is nothing new
Flashback,
warm nights
almost left behind
Suitcases of memories，
time after
Some times you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me，
I cant hear what you've said
Then you say 'go slow'
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look
and you will find me
time after time
If you fall I will catch you
I'll be waiting
time after time x2

After my picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray
Watching through windows
you're wondering if I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look
and you will find me
time after time
If you fall I will catch you
I'll be waiting
time after time

You said 'go slow'
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

*If you're lost you can look
and you will find me
time after time
If you fall I will catch you
I'll be waiting
time after time (x2)

time after time (x7)

New South Wales Science, such lengthy questions, many guessed de, don't get certificate of participation good enough, not nice la! Haiz, Physics test tomorrow. Gonna die. Mr Seow, see this? If say I am your student, it will be a disgrace to you man...

祈求天意别要弄人

Think it will be great to be able to return to the past.

会挂念就承认太挂念
明天相见你就说即刻见
缘份就似全力冒险
最进取的可走得最远
和你畅游过的美丽全部未变色
记忆冲着什么卷着什么
值得我永远那么爱惜

--张家辉, 全速前进

Sad, imeem won't play the full song, you might not understand cantonese like me but can go listen to the longer version. Look at the extract above, isn't it meaningful? (Yes!)

2009-05-01T19:19:00.006+08:00

Eunice: It's okay, tag is good enough. Haha...

2009-04-22T22:12:00.004+08:00

Isn't this amazing? Yeah, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, here comes a new post!
Ironically, I have actually been inspired by someone I don't like to post. Well, I didn't know why I want to go to her blog anyway, but she makes me think about my sec school life. Btw, I did have the intention to say this for public speaking.
Hmm, let me start with the girl. We were once Home Econs partners and joked quite a bit, and going to her house to help prepare the food for Care n Share etc. But of course there came a drastic change and I don't understand what unhappiness she sees in me and many others. Well, maybe that's destiny and how things are supposed to be.
Sec one, I missed my primary school a lot, like how I missed P4 when I was in P5. I wrote this in my journal, saying how P4 life was so much better and my teacher chided me. Maybe she thought that my attitude was undesirable and was trying to help me. Hmm, I noticed my dear pri school friend was ogling at someone during the Campfire preparation. When she revealed that she liked someone, I immediately figured out who it was, and of course, I was right. Ho, what an interesting past to rake up. I hated a group of people then, but now, of course not. I first interacted with Yanping in the drama course. I found her a lively and helpful person, and maybe that's what makes me talk to her more often, perhaps? The first project I did with my good friend, Ang Jason, was CME, and for subsequent ones, the two of us did it with Cindy and Kaiting, and they bonded us together. I believe everyone group of cliques has their own memorable memories.
By some strange twist of fate, I actually became friends with the person I hated. Though we were of course not very close, but surprisingly, we also did things like taking pictures together and going for lunch together. I remember he said he thought I was a nice person. Wow, a compliment man... Later, we became closer, and actually became my best friend today.
So, I've made quite a number of good friends in Sec school. I wonder what would it have been been, not knowing the people who had become my good friends now... Yeah, so thanks everyone, and my best friend, though we might quarrel or maybe sometimes can be stranger-like, I will be faithful.

2009-04-07T16:45:00.002+08:00

By the fact that you can still see February posts on this page goes to show how frequent do I blog.
I really don't know what to do. Lost, and laughing for nothing. Maybe I am laughing at myself, maybe I am laughing at how we even got together in the first place.

Replies
Yanping: Yeah, finally updated? Blogging depends very much on mood.
Brandon: Eh, sorry. I don't this melody, just linked from imeem only...
Qiuwen: You mean this song? If so, then yeah, one of my favourite form Westlife.
Marcus: Haha, think it is Zenith? You can check with him during NP eh?
Alien: Ha, that's good then. Nice right? Many of their songs are great.

My Physique Is Not Amazing but the Song Is

2009-04-03T17:31:00.007+08:00

NAPFA, terribly done. Wel, at leat I never fail anything bah. Ha, manged to do 1 acceptable pull-up le. Clap for me! *clap clap clap clap clap...* OK! Thank You! :D
I've always wanted to put Westlife's 'Amazing' as blog song. Since I cannot find it, then just put the Karaoke version alright? Sounds nice to me. The weird thing is the echo behind, that's all ba. Besides that, enjoy the melody! If you know how to sing, that's even better! Sing-a-long!
Don't be sad, my friend. Won't fail de.

Westlife - Amazing
You're like a storm against the window
Follow me around just like a shadow
I'll swim a never ending ocean
Until you bring back your devotion

It's like I live a thousand lifetimes
Still looking for the one that feels right
See, moving on just isn't working
You lit the fire that burn in

And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
We could be more than just amazing

I guess I'm holding on to my faith
A solid hope I'm heading your way
And crawling over is so tempting
We could be more than just amazing

And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
We could be more than just amazing

I couldn't see it
I must have believed a lie
If I admit it would you let me make it right
Is it all gone
Oh no

we could be more than just
we could be more than just amazing

And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
We could be more than just amazing
And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
Straight to the point of what I'm feeling
Oh we could be more than just amazing

P.S Westlife's 'Amazing' is literally amazing!

Phew, so, the end, and tomorrow's NAPFA and BIO SPA. Haiz, just now during NCC training kept practising standing broad jump. Gosh, it sucked. It has never been a problem to me T.T Secondly, hope I will not fail shuttle run.
Hmm, wonder how has school life been nowadays? Honestly, you would never deprive me, coz I am a lonely person to start with. There are times I wanted to talk to you, but I just don't know how to go up to you. Sometimes you do come and find me, but sometimes, I feel so empty. Yeah, you are right, people normally find faults in others but not in themselves. I know what you had done, those jokes, going to the library together, going to your house...have all been great to me, coz I've never done so much with a friend before : )

Terrible day today. I did not make my Sports Carnival meaningful at all. Anyway, unpleasant things start to come in again. At night, played maple and received the greatest shock I've ever had.
1 person started to defame me by splurting that I am a hacker. Yeah right, think he is culprit himself. Unknowingly, I went to check on my Priest. It was naked. Marvellous, it was hacked. My inventory was completely clean except for some useless items. Nice, I have never expected such a thing to happen on me. Even the hacker who hacked Yan Ping last time, was lenient, only took selective stuff. Anyway, how do hackers hack? Was I careless in any aspects? Brandon, if I cause your account to be hacked as well, then I am really sorry...(if you happen to see this) Currently it's still safe.
I think I sound kind of calm. But I am feeling quite blank now. So much time and effort was put into earning and building up the financial status. One unscrupulous and immoral act of an hacker cause my 1.5 years of hardwork to go down the drain instantly. Wow. Ok, I am feeling really blank now. My Priest~~ Haiz, it certainly dampens my spirit to continue playing.
Today is indeed to Friday the Thirteenth.

Happy Birthday to me and many others. Haha, seems like there is lots of birthdays in March? Thanks for all the birthday messages and wishes!
Yesterday's Career Fair didn't help me at all. I am still lost and indecisive. Haha friends, I appreciate the wonderful 'plan'! But smart Junwei saw through everything. Ok, sounds egocentric and think-skinned.
Anyway, Common Tests results are out. I achieved my target of getting 5As, but then I realised that this goal is too low. I'll aim for 6A1s now! This time only got 4, little bit more then 7 le, Chinese, Add Maths and Bio. Haiz. Ok, just say I didn't put in enough effort, I am not that stupid, Eunice : ) English and Physics are the ones that sucked.
Can't apreciate you all enough. I will thank you personally :D

2009-03-03T16:41:00.006+08:00

So, I didn't post about the sandcastle, but it was okay, more enjoyable than dislike. Anyway, this isn't the main point of this post.
Alright. Sorry everyone for fretting over my idiotic birthday present. First time seeing people so troubled, frustrated, vexed over this issue, really feel bad. I am so 'dua pai'. I really don't know what object I want, not that I don't want to say...anyway, it still feels kinda weird and not right telling others what you desire. And of course I will not despise anything I get. That's for sure. Actually, the things of paramount are good relations with others, good results, happy family. Even if I don't anything, it's okay as well. Already happy that you all remembered this day. Sorry once again.

2009-02-27T16:54:00.002+08:00

Wow, I think I am going to be only posting twice in February, or will I post tomorrow about the sandcastle building experience, making it thrice? Haha, frankly speaking, I am not really enthusiastic regarding tomorrow's activity, hope will have fun ba...
Got back 3 papers. English sucked!!! Geog and SS are satisfying though. Flopped English and Add Maths this time round. And these are the two subjects that I have tuition for. Heck, no tuition = better results? Hope the others can ace man...Haha, am I speaking the elusive and impossible? After Common Test is certainly great...Hope I can go out with friends sometime...
Fewer quarrels now, which is great, of course. Haha. I know life isn't a bed of roses but hope better days can continue to sustain though sometimes I can be lack of confidence :X Ha, that's all. Nothing's flowing into my mind.
Oh ya, something to add. Suddenly remember when I wanted to reply YongXiang. In primary school after exams when we shift back our tables, I would say "Happy reunion" to the people around me. Now, I don't have the feeling anymore. Lol. Primary school days were great. 4 subjects only! Pri school students shouldn't be stressed. Sec 2 was awesome too. Never forget.

Replies
Alien: Yay, almost half a month is gone then I post again. Hoho. Hope I can get many aces! You ar, must score straight ace too!
Eunice: Lol, actually this tag so long ago le, now I don't know how to reply. Lol. Next time I shall dedicate too. Whoo~
Jiamin: Ha, so unexpected meh? Maybe I have been influenced :D And my friend has helped to reply : ) Hmm, this time never see you online le wor.
Brandon: Yeah, thanks for the recommendation wor. But I will chane it soon le..remember the piano piece? :D And don't be so discouraged to do things eh, enjoy your life :D
YongXiang: I realised I haven't been tagging you for a long time...

2009-02-14T23:50:00.005+08:00

Hey man...
Seriously very lazy to post. Besides, many negative things happen in my life. Flopped Physics SPA, drew the graph wrongly. How marvellous. And I left my calculator in the lab, I think. BUt nobody saw it and brought it back to me. Looks like I am destined to lose it.
Hmm, Valentine's Day today. Well, I have no valentine, stayed at home all day, only went out to buy lunch and for tuition. Thanks for the gifts contributed by Brina, Eunice, Xue Yun, Yan Ping, Alfred, Jessica, Li Ning, Cass. Sorry if miss out anybody. Although not all will come here and see I thank them but still have to acknowledge right? Heaven knows. Thanks Frederika too, my secret valentine. Don't think it's very secretive hor? Haha. Oh sharks, I realised there is a 'Movie marathon' on Channel U tonight. I am going to watch some after this. Suddenly remember. Ha, I guess that's all for this post. I also don't know when will be the next time I will post again. but thank you all taggers! You are appreciated!
Sentimental songs makes me so nostalgic.

Replies!
Cass: Hey! Long time no see! Must tag more often, don't keep silent! Eh, actually if I don't post also nothing to tag about hor?
Alien: Thanks, thanks, yeah I know you tag a lot! Yay! How was your Valentine's Day spent? I suddenly remember that I forgot to write 'Happy Total Defence' on Isabella's card. OMG, random.
db: Whee~new visitor!!!! Haha, maybe he too pro until it seems fake, hmm, anyway, feel free to leave comments lo : )
Xinni: Hello! 3rd time only?! Haiz, why Harrison take over your place man... Sian
Brandon: Hey man. There was a long period of time when you 'disappeared' from tagboards ar...See, Cindy says hello, coz she thinks it's a surprise, haha. Posted liao, but very short. Longer next time bah : ) Thanks for tagging! Privilege for me, haha.
Aggy: Now I reply you in the post, yay. Rejoice! Valentine's Day is just a normal day for me...Haha XD
Yanping: You're welcome~ Frederika says it's cute too, in her blog, makes me feel so good. But not that exaggerating, doesn't cost a lot, someone's costs more than mine. Hoho!!!

林宇中 - 干物女
为了一根草　鲜花变黑藻
舍弃了倾城的美貌
不保养不逛不化妆
想他就睡到饱

干物女走不出情伤
八点档看到泪汪汪
他说的谎满满塞著窗
房间早就没阳光

我来为你拆墙拆掉满间荒凉
久违的凉爽　
喝我炖的热汤分手的伤口不痛不痒
我来为你拆墙　绑架你去闲逛
天黑看月光　
我爱你蹈火赴汤换你瞬间开朗

干物女走不出情伤
门关上独自零食趴
别那么灰暗　别那么傻
让我当你的的阳光

我来为你拆墙拆掉满间荒凉
久违的凉爽　
喝我炖的热汤分手的伤口不痛不痒
我来为你拆墙绑架你去闲逛
天黑看月光　
我爱你蹈火赴汤换你瞬间开朗

我来为你拆墙拆掉满间荒凉
久违的凉爽
听我弹弹唱唱
唱一首你知道我在等你吗
我来为你拆墙　绑架你去闲逛
天黑看月光　
我爱你蹈火赴汤换你瞬间开朗(x2)

用你的漂亮用你的光芒换我瞬间开朗

2009-01-31T12:21:00.003+08:00

Yay, I have decided to put up a post to cover up the ultra emo previous post. Hmm, Chinese New Year is still in progress right? 大年初六，恭喜恭喜
Hmm, didn't go back to KL again this year. It has been 2 years already... Really miss going back, enjoy the simple, yet special CNY every year. Anyway, Johor was still good though. First arrived, many relatives look like strangers. But the second day was ok already. Lol, still remember one of my cousin told my brother, "Hey, your brother no feel de leh."
Cousin took me for a ride on the motorcycle. Drove through a long stretch of road with trees lining the sides on a dark night is an absolute exciting experience. No bikes for me to ride though, still remember who taught me how to ride de. Haha, but long time never practise already.
Played Blackjack and won 10 dollars! But it's ringgit la, ok?
Watched "IP Man", and wow, Donnie Yen possesses such skillful martial arts. One of the talented ones together with Jet Li, Jason Statham, Jackie Chan and other.
Also had reunion dinner, and also a meal with other relatives. Watched a bit of "Kung Fu Dunk", ok, of course there is exaggeration, but seeing Jay Chou, acting in movies is interesting, coz people have a deep impression of a singer of him.
Oh, I didn't touch any firecrackers this year. Amazing eh. Ok, think that's all I have to say. No pictures though...
*Listened to this song on 933 the other day, and "一听钟情"

2009-01-21T18:58:00.002+08:00

I think life is rather meaningless. Hmm, I know I shouldn't be saying this, all the '"Life is precious. Cherish it." and stuff like this that they say, but wait till you really experience the feeling of being crushed, the feeling of helplessness, the feeling of failure. When you have dropped to the very bottom of a valley, when you are at the deepest part of the ocean, when you are all alone in another galaxy, you will understand why people resorted to suicide.
Marvellous, sucky results for MT O lvls, SS, Chem, and today, Geog. What's next? Come on, drive me to the limit. Ok, I shall not harbour so many pessimistic thoughts for fear I go into an extreme state of depression. And there are always some people whom you can turn to, for some sort of comfort. Maybe that's the last stage of salvaging anything one iota, to prevent the ultimate foolish act.
Two more days and I can take a break from Singapore. After that 4-day period, wonder what new pressure will be in store for me.

2009-01-13T17:21:00.003+08:00

Yeah, Chinese result, didn't ace it. Nothing much to say. Cried like a baby. Thanks all for the consoling... Haha Naomi, fianally eh? Hope there is more to come! Of course la, Eunice, A1 is important man... Haiz, forget it, it's over. Hmm, wait for some time later bah. Still stressed (or am I finding excuses). Hey cousin, it has been an ultra long since we last met. Next time sure have lots to catch up. Stay happy too.
P.S Hey friends, please never ever attempt narrative essay in major Chinese exams.

2009-01-11T16:16:00.003+08:00

Taking a break. Even machines malfunction if they are pushed beyond their limits, not to mention a mere human like me!
My speed of doing homework is incredibly slow. Aiming to finish English writing, and part of the Geog worksheet and Add Maths by today. Hmm...guess it would be possible? I will just have to endure 2 more weeks then I can let my hair down for a moment during CNY...
Timed pratices coming in no time, the school is indeed bent on driving us to do well for O levels. Well, I am pushing myself too. Remember my dream school? Haha...
Back to reality, last week (Sunday is the first day of the week as came across from somewhere) wasn't a good week at all. Problems arose, and stress crushed onto me. Fortunately, I think things will work out smoothly so long there is communication and proper thoughts. Friday was the CCA roadshow. Well, surprisingly, I sort of enjoyed it. You explaining down there, and the parents listening attentively. And when the students left his name behind, it was such a great feeling. Had fun walking around too. All froms of propaganda showed. NCC sang a song, the canoers did push-ups, and St John was shouting "JOIN SAINT JOHN!" So despo wor... :X
My fear of Physics and Chem still haven't disperse. I wonder when it will. Maybe dropping Physics may have less stress, but dislike having 1 subject lesser. Hmm, weird mentality.
Ar yes, one last point before ending this post. Tomorrow is the release of O level results! Which means I will get to know my Mother Tongue grade.
Please. A1. And nothing else.

2009-01-08T20:11:00.006+08:00

有的话，的确好听。

真不真实，还难以揣摩。

在感情世界里，有个巨大的考验。

就算是有点平淡、乏味，是否愿意继续。

嘴上说的话，当真有经过大脑，仔细思考?

有时，应该把事看得深入一点。

或许，有人永远不晓得别人思想。

毕竟每个人都有不为人知的一面。

人啊，沉浸于自己的世界时，怎么会理会周围?

如果命运是这样，如果选择是这样，那就随他而去吧。

总只被看为 "依漠" 人，随便吧。

"依漠" 指的是依旧冷漠。

取得不错吧。

反正个性相同的，真的更好。

请给一点时间调整。

难免有些委屈与痛苦。

戏梦 - 林志颖

昨天华山论剑今天决战京城
原来世界竟然这么小
去年你是天王今年我是至尊
谁是谁非谁又能分清
飞来飞去飞过人群飞上云霄看我多逍遥
爱来爱去今天爱你明天爱她到底谁爱我
他们说人生一场梦又何必太计较
青春正年少我应该大声笑
岁月如飞刀它刀刀催人老
再回首天荒地老
他们说人生一出戏又何必太认真
生旦净墨丑我统统扮一回
谁扮谁像谁我扮谁又像谁
别忘了下次再会

2009-01-02T22:52:00.004+08:00

Alrighty, first day of school, first post of the year.
Not really happy, not really unhappy either. Got happy things, but of course unhappy things.
I am talking like a 5 year-old kid am I?
I think this is my first time posting in this kind of style.
Shall not elaborate further on those unhappy stuff.
Life's like that.
And poor Sec ones, actually had to welcome us on the first day of school.
But the feeling of 'homecoming' was great. Lol.
Anyway, the canteen.
The amount of food they serve is so meagre.
And expensive too.
And for the next thing I don't really know how to describe.
You know the stalls, the brick/concrete slab?
It is so low.
They wanna save money bah.
Jason, I never blame you for the waterbottle thing hor.
And we dont have timetable for next week, what to do?
Thanks Brandon for your jokes.
Stop here bah.
Farewell.

2008-12-31T16:56:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, I looked through my archives (again) but then I realised that many of my posts in the past were short and insincere. Lol. However, I still managed to convey the important points, I think?
Approx 7 hours to a new year. New year resolutions? Hmm, people around me to be happy. Good results for O lvls of course. Less quarrels with my friends, haha. Can't believe I am Sec 4 next year, gosh. I guess many of us received 1 flyer from Ngee Ann Poly mailed to our homes? But I want NJC. Lol.
Haiz, there are still some Physics and Chem undone. The point is: I don't know how to do! Forget it, school re-opens I'm dead. And how am I going to take exams like this T.T
Don't know why I will be suddenly elated when I remember that Chinese New Year would be coming soon in no time. I LOVE ba gua! That day went Chinatown and Woodlands to shop for some clothes, but I want more. Lol, sounds materialistic. But I really see a lot of nice ones, and P.S, Billabong is freaking ex.
Friday, marching back to CCK campus. Hahahaha, I am really looking forward to it, this kind of days without any lessons, and have lunch with friends after school. But many times, it will turn out be awkward or ruined in some ways. Ok, I retract my words of 'looking forward'. LOL.
Happy New Year's eve. Good bye 2008. Beijing Olympics rocked. Whoo~
Replies
Alien: Lol, thanks for coming, haha. Pass by more often!
Jiamin: Yay, you finally tagged. Ya, love the self created songs. Hopefully I can really get in :X When school starts, I don't know what will happen to me. Scared, like first time going to school.
Alfred: Haha, yeah. Next time of can then go again. Hope things would be all fine...
Eunice: Heh, actually what is boxing day ar? Interesting... School's reopening, see ya soon!
Yongxiang: It has been a long time since I put a Chinese song :D Hmm, wonder how the new batch of sec ones would be.

2008-12-27T17:24:00.004+08:00

Haha, here to talk a little about yesterday. Something happened, then after some time, it was okay. Walked here and there, took some pictures, and caught the 9.50pm show, 'Yes Man'! Some parts very funny. There was a girl singing at a pub, and I love the lyrics. WAHA! "Don't call me at eleven...but you can call me at ten fifty-nine" Lololol. And the guy recived a pop-up asking if he wanted to increase the size of his pe---. Parental guidance!
Leave it to Yanping to post the photos bah. Say 'Yes' to life, but remember to think things through before making a decision~
Jim Carrey stars as Carl Allen, a guy whose life is going nowhere—the operative word being no—until he signs up for a self-help program based on one simple covenant: say yes to everything and anything. Unleashing the power of YES begins to transform Carls life in amazing and unexpected ways, getting him promoted at work and opening the door to a new romance. But his willingness to embrace every opportunity might just become too much of a good thing :D

何耀珊 - 我们的冬天
金色树叶
提醒我又到了12月
不下雪
同样有冬天的感觉
夜是凉了点街也亮了点
却不能削减对你的想念
没有雪在飞只有风在吹
想你会想着谁
我会忍住了眼泪等与你依偎
我们的冬天将会多美(有多美)
金色树叶
提醒我又到了12月

夜是凉了点街也亮了点
只会更突显对你多怀念
没有雪在飞只有风在吹

我会忍住了眼泪等与你依偎
我们的冬天将会多美(有多美)
独自一个人我堆不成雪人
独自一个人雪人不能平衡
雪人要支撑而我需要你的吻
这样的冬天才丰盛
没有雪在飞
想你现在会想着谁(会在想想着谁)
想你想着谁
我们的冬天会有多美
没有雪在飞只有风在吹

Hohoho, Merry Christmas. The joy and warmth of this festive season is everywhere! How I wish to spend my Christmas at a snowy place, having a feast in a cosy house, chatting by the fireplace... Aww, what a picturesque. However, still get to celebrate Christmas in exhilaration and enjoy the spirit of giving over here. May your wishes come true~
Hmm, is it because of the cold weather that froze my brain or what? Haha, I see lazy posts, without much of contents. Maybe wait till school re-opens? Then I have to part with my carefree days and face the stressful days. That will be the time when I have a lot to grumble and post?
We had an 01 BBQ which was on...the 19th. It was good to see ex-classmates once again and interact. I had to go early, but I thought it would be rather nice staying. (and skip tuition) And it could have been better if the crowd of people watch something and laugh their heads off together eh? Went to Brandon's house a couple of times this holiday season. Though at times the atmosphere was not very ideal, but I guess things turned out to be better. It is really nice to have a home visit to your friend's house!
Days revolve around Maple, and hoho, I think 5 more levels to train for next year to become Sniper. The dream isn't too far. But I seriously feel that the quests for this Christmas are few and boring. School's starting real soon, and how lamenting is that. That day went back for NCC, and saw some people whom I believe are the scholars. Man, they looked like tyrants. And saw a pair of lesbians. Whats happenning eh? Never mind, its not good to be too busybody, just take care of myself and leave the school with good results that will enable me to get into NJC. And of course, memories. Good ones.
Going out tomorrow, looking forward. Hope that the weather would be good! Shall post on Saturday coz I think I will be too tired to post tomorrow. And I will greatly appreciate some comments! *hint hint*

2008-12-17T20:15:00.002+08:00

五月天 - 小太阳
多么难忘是你纯真的模样
突然的吻弥漫着茶香
多么向往梦想总是在他方
你说等我不管多漫长
你就是太阳蒸发了彷徨
所以挖开土壤种下希望
离开了故乡
看着你的眼眶忍着泪闪着光
我会很快回来继续我们未完的天堂
看着你的脸庞微笑着要我去闯
你的盼望是我握在手中小小的太阳

念念不忘此刻应该是农忙
如画风光有你在歌唱
你就是太阳照亮了方向
你让地球旋转月亮发光
让我有翅膀
看着你的眼眶忍着泪闪着光
我会很快回来继续我们未完的天堂
看着你的脸庞微笑着要我去闯
你的盼望是我握在手中小小的太阳

看着你的眼眶忍着泪闪着光
我会很快回来继续我们未完的天堂
看着你的脸庞微笑着要我去闯
你的盼望是我握在手中小小的太阳
看着你的眼眶忍着泪闪着光
我会很快回来继续我们未完的天堂
看着你的脸庞微笑着要我去闯
你的盼望是我握在手中小小的太阳

Alrighty, first post in December. Sadness, don't think that this post will be very long. But happy birthday to Tiffany Goh Qiqi and Jason Tan Tse How. Whoo December babies, 5th and 6th respectively. Qiqi, my seating partner for sometime in Sec 1 and the aorund the end of Sec 2. Haha, not bad, quit a good seating partner. But beware of her ultra freezing jokes. Jason, 3 years in the same class and NCC together. Another joker, but many perverted ones :X

Yay~ (Qiqi, don't eat the mouse, because Mickey has lots of fans.)

2008-11-26T21:52:00.003+08:00

So dead...but never mind. Thanks to 3 valued taggers. Haha, chanced upon something funny. Haiz humans.

Yanping: Yea, but didn't have a camera though. The scenery were great.
Eunice: Thanks, I think only you will comment on that post. Yeah, you still keep it too! I store those things in a folder.
Wenxi: Hmm, I will ask the rest bah okay? : )

It has been 1 year and 17 days since Westlife released their last album, Back Home.

Us Against The World
[Nicky:]
Us against the world
Against the world
Us against the world
Against the world

[Shane:]
You and I, we’ve been at it so long
I still got the strongest fire
You and I, we still know how to talk
Know how to walk that wire

[Mark:]
Sometimes I feel like the world is against me
The sound of your voice, baby that's what saves me
When we're together I feel so invincible

[Shane:]
Cause it's us against the world
You and me against them all
If you listen to these words
Know that we are standing tall
I don't ever see the day that I won't catch you when you fall
Cause it's us against the world tonight

[Nicky:]
Us against the world
Against the world

[Mark:]
There’ll be days
We’ll be on different sides but
That doesn’t last too long
We find ways to get it on track
And know how to turn back on

[Shane:]
Sometimes I feel I can’t keep it together
Then you hold me close
And you make it better
When I’m with you I can feel so unbreakable

[Mark:]
Cause it's us against the world
You and me against them all
If you listen to these words
Know that we are standing tall
I don't ever see the day that
I won't catch you when you fall
Cause it's us against the world tonight

We’re not gonna break
Cause we both still believe

Hey ho, I am here to entertain myself., I suppose. I am doing some review/recollections. Well, good memories are meant to be kept!

Firstly, let me review my goals. Hmm, it is quite disappointing. I aimed for 5As, but I only got 4, so well, failed to achieve it. Crossbow man to be level 60 by end of november, quite unlikely, at most 59. Sad~ Only thing achieved is save $100 by end October and...pass Add Maths. Well, that's a good one.

Alright, moving on, some of the things I kept last year. Christmas received something too, but Christmas is not here yet, so... Maybe will post them again. Pictures below include (according to order), birthday blessings from Yanping and AngJason, the cheering sheet for cheering com finals, the lyrics for the dance for the graduation day concert, a drawing by Cindy and Kaiting, and lastly, a card from Mdm Yati and Mr Sim for us. Actually, I had to sing while doing the dance, that explains the lyrics, and Cindy and Kaiting drew this very interesting 'CD album' in remembering the 'yidadui' group, a name given by Yanping I think :D That's all.

p.s The pictures can be enlarged

Here's the quiz I kena'd from Naomi. As a sign of courtesy, I shall do it :) Anyway, here it is. You may just neglect this, just in case you feel the ultimate lame-ness from my answers.

Relationship with her:
Friends of course :D

My 5 impressions of her:
Huge :X, can do nice split, quite amiable, good to talk to, likes to have fun

The most memorable thing she has done to me:
Talk to me in Dance, making me feel much comfortable in that place

What did she do to me:
Helped me buy Dettol hand sanitizer

If she become smy lover I will:
Don't think that will happen -.-

If she becomes my enemy I will:
Nah, don't think so.

What is it that I want to tell her now:
Going to Dance feels weird

My overall impression of her:
Can be nice if you are nice to her. Well, treat others like the way you want to be treated!

How I find people around me will feel about me:
Hmm, maybe a bit eccentric. Don't think many will see the good points. Aww, sad

For the people who cares and likes me:
I greatly appreciate it. Really. Truly. Sincerely.

Pass this quiz to 10 people:
Aha, it's okay. Do this if you feel bored!

I think there is a part 2 huh? Can I choose not to answer it -.- I want more interesting ones. Wahaha.

Yesterday, was a long-awaited day. After we had a movie on the 26 Dec 07', we promised to hold at least another in this end of year holidays. After been through arduous months of studying, homework-ing, CCA-ing, and schooling, the promised was fulfilled yesterday. Just a pity that Yanping had something on -.- This outing indeed has lots of problems. It was not really easy to get everyone together, but I think we passed the 'tests'.

Our dear friend Brandon was actually in a state of confusion, wondering if he should leave house after he was done with his packing. Well, so he became the latest to come. When everyone has arrived, we went to have lunch at Mos Burger. Had a small chat over the food, and they called me director, as they hink I am the 'organiser', but I didn't do much actually, in fact in some cases, I don't think things are proceeding smoothly... Thereafter, went to Cass' house to play. Hmm, watched a show called '10 Things I Hate About You'. Yanping had to leave, so could not finish to show. '10' is quite okay, but I'll prefer 'Mean Girls'. Had several rounds of poker with Cindy, Kaiting, Cass and Bing Cai. Later Brandon and Bing Cai were at the computer, looking at some Maple videos. As you might know, Pirate job is going to be released in MapleSea soon, and Brandon just recently got addicted to this game once again.

Wanted to play badminton, but I am unsure why it never happened. I remember Cass going to the cupboard...lol. Then we decided on a movie time, which was 1940, at Marina Square. So off we went in the MRT, and chatting on the way...

We had lunch first, at Shokudo, Citylink Mall. Recommended by Cass, this Japanese restaurant serves 1 scoop of sorbet or 1 waffle at S$3.50+. We ordered our own pastas and while waiting, played a game, which Kaiting emerged as the winner. They served us iced water, and then our food came. Devour time. A waitress walked pass and asked if wanted my water refilled. I replied 'No' and she walked away. Gosh, I never asked the rest. Then they said the waitress was biased. Haha. The meal was expensive -.- there was a change of 25 cents which no one wanted to take. So, I gave it back to the waitress cum cashier. 'Keep the chance.' Isn't that cool? But I kept silent la.

After dinner, then continued walking to Marina Square. It was quite beautiful. Colourful lights and ornaments adorned the place, and there was already a Christmas atmosphere. Went to buy the tickets first. Madagascar 2, good choice yea? Alas, only the first row from the front is available. This caused us to be quite sad of course, as it is not really comfortable. Anyway, we proceeded with a walk, since we still had much time. Saw something gross in the toilet, which you can probably imagine. Overflow somemore. Then, a group of people caught our attention. Cass was wondering what the commotion was about, so we went up to have a look. They were playing a machine to obtain those kind of small soft toys. Think they spent quite an amount on that.

We never walked far. Bought a combo, consisting of a popcorn and a drink. There was a DIY plane model too. So, went into the cinema, and it was...small. So we watched the advertisements, and some movies seemed rather nice. They even showed one that was coming to theatres in Jan 2009. Wow. At first of course was not used to it. The light was way too bright and the pictures way too big. But then no choice, luckily it was a great movie. Madagascar 2, highly recommended. Have good, hearty laughs throughout!

After the movie, we took some pictures. Haiz, there wasn't a digital camera, so we had to make do with handphones. Had some people to take for us, and I will remember this man, who seemed very annoyed. We saw the Singapore Flyer. It was too far though. Took some pictures of the night scenery. A sense of peacefulness.

It was getting late, so decided to return home. Walked some distance and saw the Flyer again. This time, it was closer. Cass brought us a to walking a big longcut. But it's okay, we had more interaction? Saw some empty buses at the sides of the road. TV Mobile was still screening inside. Such a waste of electricity huh? Saw the Flyer again. This is is even closer. Haha, never expected that. Walking on the streets was a pleasure.

Guess we are all bushed. Finally reached the MRT station. Crowded, but it was expected. Saw Brina, well, this is unexpected. She had an interesting experience, but I guess she is at HK now? Okay, in conclusion, it can be said to be a tiring but fun day. Time check: Reached home at 2347.

I think that the group picture is the nicest.
Somebody leaving Singapore tomorrow le still never tag. Aww, sad. Hope those who are overseas enjoy themselves!

I believe good songs are meant to be shared :D

Daniel Powter - Next Plane Home
I woke up early to baby blue eyes from afar
And when the sun comes through, lights you like the angel you are

I know I do you wrong
When I’m with you I’ve been gone

With every season change it looks the same
November to June
And on these empty streets I skip a beat the flowers don’t bloom

I can’t believe I missed your birthday again
And I want to come back but I just don’t know when

And I’m so lonely, you’re not here with me
That’s why I’m gonna be on the next plane home

The road that never ends round the bend I see you smile
I’d swim across the sea to be with you for awhile

Cause I made a life of being gone
Now the way that I feel is that I just don’t belong here

And I'm so lonely, you're not here with me
That's why I'm gonna be on the next plane home

And you're, you're the only place I wanna see
That's why I'm gonna be on the next plane home

I stand around trying to make every moment and be somebody yeah anybody
It seems the whole world is taking me over I need somebody to help me get back to you

And I’ve always been a million miles away
But things are gonna change I just wanna come home
And you’re, you’re the only place I wanna see
That’s why I’m gonna be on the next plane home
Yeah I’m taking the next plane home
Now I’m getting the next plane
I’m taking the next plane home

HARLO~Anyone there?
Actually, I not abstaining from blogging, just that my internet service got cut off due to overlooked bills Yea, and that's kind of hilarious. Please laugh if you feel like it :D
Yes, and thus, I missed my final countdown till school ends, and I missed out blogging about many activities that had taken place. Well, I think I had forgotten a big portion of it, so let's just forget it. You didn't want to know them too, do you? *frowns at you with a look of suspicion*
Eh, but O-level Higher MT exams are over. I chose to write narrative rather than the super duper highly recommended discursive essay. Actually I spent quite some time thinking of what to which to write then I felt less restricted in doing the narrative, so I chose it. Moreover, I had an experience...wahahahaha...
Actually those who read my post about 'Mean Girls' and are/were interested in it, it was actually screened on Channel 5 two weeks before on 'Stay Home Saturday Movie'. So....did you miss it once again? Anyway, watched Madagascar last Sunday. Whoo, it was nice! I have watched the front part before, so didn't know Alex would actually turn ferocious and scary and pull him away form his friends... Also, finished the last episode of 'La Femme Desperado' too. Ha, Xiaoqi and GaoLing been through so much, and wow, Xiaoqi's love never wavers...
Last saturday was kind of good. Very unexpected and interesting. Thank you :)
Dance, dance, dance fill up many days. And wow, some people can really go for everything... Haha.

2008-10-26T21:07:00.008+08:00

Today firstly talk about the Physics remedial bah. Quite okay, but two more sessions await, and I truly fear the Dignostic Test. Maybe it will diagnose that I am not cut off for Physics, but but well, will try. Besides, next week has the two SPA in store for us, and also the crazy Chinese test, as the teacher said the will take special supervision on us, the Chinese noobs. So that one must really score with flying colours or else... I'm doomed? Though next week is going to be tedious and threathening, but after which, it will really be a huge load off the shoulders...

Moving on to today. Went to Church for the first time, by invitation form Cass. City Harvest Church has the highest attendence of people in Singapore, having more than 24,000 attendees in its weekend. Overseas, CHC has 31 affiliate churches and Bible schools in the Far East. It is quite a big organisation.

When I first arrived, I felt somewhat awkward, as there was not anyone I knew. However, the church-goers were friendly, who smiled poltely and introduced themselves. I got to know Cleo, Ricky, and Leonard, but I am not sure if we would meet again yea? They first sang some songs, and displayed absolute high-ness. They jumped, clapped, some had a deep devoted look on their faces and also closed their eyes and completely indulged in the singing. I was rather confused whether to sing along, but eventually I followed some since the songs were quite easy to follow up. Just that when they mumbled something, or raised their hands as a sign of prayer or something, I didn't follow.

Therafter, the founder of the Church, named Kong Hee, gave a speech. He was really a great speaker. His expressions were varied, and the articulation, the amusing way of speaking, marvellous. And he would tell us to repeat some of the things he said to our neighbours. Oh, and innocence is not a virtue, innocence tested is! Meaning, you need to expose yourself to the surroundings to really know if you are innocent yea?

Then there was a hotdog party, and some took part in a 'Hotdog eating Competition.' Wow, they are indeed courageous to gobble their food in front of so many people, but they indeed have their supporters. Well, I am still bewildered of the issue of religion, as people have different saying of their own.

Ade: Yes, I hope next week, the llast week, can proceed smoothly, All the best to you!

Frederika: Haha, thanks. Yea, I suddenly think that Westlife is a very 'Amazing' group. I guess that is 'Obvious', and they their songs can be used to express 'My Love' to people who will in turn be 'On The Wings Of Love' and won't be a 'Fool Again' :D

Alien: Yes, true... Yea, the homework load so great, but I think next week shall pass quickly? Since its the last week liao hor?

Qiuwen: Yeah! 1 more week and Sec 3 is over. 1 more week and the 4 scary components will be over. Good luck!

4 school days left

First picture is after the hotdog competition. Some are having photo takign at the side.

Second picture: First time I come across a vending machine selling hot canned drinks.

Some time never post again :)
Sunday went for shooting practice. My performance was hilarious. I really don't wish to disgrace the school lor. Actually, I promise to shoot better, if you give me support to hold the rifle. I am just too weak. After much trembling then shoot off target.
Monday was like an unbelieving sudden school holiday. I stayed at home and rot. LOL.
Haiz, so the Forward Track Programme has started. And gosh, the homework load is really overwhelming. Yesterday I was one of those people being called to write a report to reflect on my Chinese result. Heck, it was embarrassing, to think that I am the Chinese rep of the class eh? I am problematic de. I wonder what I am been doing yesterday...so could only complete half of the E Maths homework.
Today, bad. Once again, lots of homework. Started on 'Utility' for SS. Precisely, its new, then I listened until a thousand question marks emerged form my head. But later became better, but I don't know if I will do the right thing for the assignment. Physics remedial, of course I am in la. Will have the first lesson tomorrow. Oh, I dread it, but what can I do? I am weak in Physics right? If I really don't want it then better clinch an A to prove it lor. Got back report book. But it is nothing to be proud of.
Chem and Bio SPA next week. Must not flunk them.
Ok, shall end this post here. And carrying on what I did for last year...

6 school days left

2008-10-16T22:17:00.006+08:00

Like I said, I'm back. Left 3 more papers yea? Physics, haha, ultimate murderer, scoring only 33. That is...wow, fabulous, marvellous, splendorous. When the teacher was going through, I was like hearing an alien talk. What strange and unfamiliar terms. I think Mr Seow will vomit blood if he sees this. What? What has he been teaching all these while and what have I absorbed? Gimme a break. Literature was somewhat okay, 70. Nothing much to say about this. Alright, for the last subject now, Biology that ended my day in an awful manner. 2nd subject I failed, 48. Good gracious, that was bloody. At school I was okay, but the moment I stepped out of school I was ultra depressed. Then went to buy lunch, and the man asked, "Handsome, what would you like?" I tried to smile but cannot. I was...grateful to him? (though I know that's not the truth la : )
End of the splendid exam reporting. Remember I said EOY was the last chance to create a beautiful ending to sec 3 life? Oh well, I tarnished the lovely picture, splattered extra paint on it, and smudged it. How ridiculous. Fine fine, L1R5 is 12, at least got a little improvement, but still...
OK, changed song to 'Obvious' by Westlife. Actually wanted to put 'Amazing', but could not find a suitable version. Anyway, these 2 songs have been added to my favourites. The rest are, 'Fool Again', 'On The Wings Of Love', and 'My Love'. All Westlife de, OMG. Am I a fan or not??
Hear, here, the lyrics.

Westlife - Obvious
Yeah, ooooh...
We started as friends
But something happened inside me
Now I'm reading into everything
But there's no sign you hear the lightning, baby
You don't ever notice me turning on my charm
Or wonder why I'm always where you are

[Shane (Westlife):]
I've made it obvious
Done everything but sing it
(I've crushed on you so long, but on and on you get me wrong)
I'm not so good with words
And since you never notice
The way that we belong
I'll say it in a love song

[Bryan (Westlife):]
I've heard you talk about
(Heard you talk about)
How you want someone just like me
(Bryan echo: just like me)
But everytime I ask you out
(Time I ask you out)
We never move pass friendly, no no
And you don't ever notice how I stare when we're alone
Or wonder why I keep you on the phone

[Shane (Westlife):]
I've made it obvious
Done everything but sing it
(I've crushed on you so long but on and on you get me wrong)
I'm not so good with words
And since you never notice
The way that we belong
I'll say it in a love song
Yeah...

[Mark:]
You are my very first thought in the morning
[Shane:]
And my last at nightfall
[Mark:]
You are the love that came without warning
[Mark & Shane:]
I need you, I want you to know

[Shane (Westlife):]
I've made it obvious
So finally I'll sing it
(I've crushed on you so long)
I'm not so good with words
And since you never notice
The way that we belong
I'll say it in a love song

[Westlife:]
And sing it until the day you're holding me
I've wanted you so long but on and on you get me wrong
I more than adore you but since you never seem to see

[Shane:]
Since you never seem to see
I'll say it in this love song

2008-10-16T18:05:00.004+08:00

2 Days, 5 papers per day. I am truly bombarded dead.
Day 1, Chemistry first up. Heck, 73?! Tried to argue for 2 marks but to no avail. Add extra base to ensure that the acid is used up. Where is the problem huh? If you add base to it, obviously is neutralisation liao right? Haiz, I just don't know. Maybe a Chem pro can leave to tag to explain. Then, English. Compo, satisfied. I am in heaven. Letter writing, a bit 'haiz', but never mind. Had a slip in heaven. Then come comprehension, then I dropped to earth. When I received the summary, I am officially banished to hell. English, 66.
Recess, had a little break as more blows await. First thing, Chinese. Waha, this is consistently live firing at me. All 3 components suck. Yayness, and I really did not address the compo question well. In the end, 58. I think my lowest score ever for Chinese. Totally pek-cheked. Then what? Oh, Social Studies. Well, at last something relatively good. 84, no complaints. Geography, 77. No complaints either. Well, I did study hor.
Day 2. First up, Additional Mathematics. Heck again, should have aced it. 61, plus 6 more marks. 67. Marvellous huh? Coup-ed my 6 marks. Ok la, the teacher face so many scripts and numbers, maybe will get tired. Elementary Mathematics. Oh, this is like 'shit' too. 74, not a single method mark for that cursed question. Whee so that goes the A1. Then recess, and after recess, I am so bloody dead. K, continue later at night. WAHAHAHA

2008-10-10T15:44:00.002+08:00

How great, the gruesome days are over. Rejoice? Maybe not...problems here and there. My fault la, bah... Mornings are bad. Recesses are bad. After school are bad as well. So many things want to say but just don't know how to say.
And today's Physics ruined the day as well. Bloody difficult for me, left numerous blanks. When the invigilators were going around to collect, I saw the instruction on the front page: Attempt all questions, no marks will be duducted for wrong answers. But if really don't know what to write then what to do? Cannot even start writing the first word or number...
Heck, forget it liao. Maybe I should just 'meditate in the caves and attain inner peace' so that 'I can run faster'. Btw, this is form the Biology paper. Other than this giveaway, it is a tedious paper as well.
So, 4 days, wonder how am I going to spend it. I reckon majority have activities lining up. Enjoy yourselves : ) Trained 20% for the Crossbow Man just now. Oh, and Maple lags~ See so many complaints. Lol. Oh, it's rather good to let tags accumulate before you reply coz it feels kind of shiok. But not really on purpose de lo.

Ade: Wow, what a compliment, thanks. But my Chinese is really so-so de lor. No model compositions, no top few in class... Haha, anyway, enjoy your trip.
Weide: I jiayou-ed le, but Physics stabbed me hard. I wanna report this case to the police...
Naomi: Aiyo...one of the FEW who have negative opinions lor. Anyway, don't care, must put for some time at least.
Alien: Omg, it's just a game, don't need to apologise. Yea, Brandon is right, don't be so pessimistic huh?
Brandon : Yo...didn't expect you to flood. Hopefully can go there as ONE group again lor. I got thrashed too. Sian. Thursday get back the papers liao, then we will be sitting in the hall... :D
Nice to see you as a regular :D
Eunice: Ha, yes... That's why the title is 'welcome to kiddy land' : ) Okay la...finding skin and changing skin sure takes up lots of time.
Alfred: Haha, in what way pro, got links de mah. Over lo, hope you can achieve the results you want!
Qiqi: Hello! Yes, hopefully. Ya lor, though see one another in schol but no interaction. How can?

2008-10-04T02:12:00.004+08:00

Look at the time now.
Ha, 2.12 a.m. Well, I suddenly have to urge to post. Don't ask me why, I doubt I can answer that. Actually, there sure is time for me to blog, but most often I am simply too lazy to sign in and run my fingers through the keyboard...Sometimes it is quite nice browsing through the archives, not only myself but others' as well : )
So, Chinese exam yesterday. Wish I had not written out of point; paper 1 was indeed tricky, in the sense that it is difficult to answer. Have to be extra cautious or it's like stepping into the land mine. Bomb! There you go. Bye bye. Dead. Well, 7 more subjects to go...
Oh yes, and Thursday was such unlucky day. No badminton for PE, got Participation for New South Wales Assessment, and 15/25 for Lit timed prac. I didn't expect these -.- So fetched! Miserable staying in the classroom with lessons progressing. Sit 3 by 3 at least can talk as and when I wish to.
Sec 3 is coming to an end. Next year will be moving to the new campus. Honestly speaking, I have no feelings at all, lol. Well, anyway it is interesting to study in 3 different environment in Secondary school huh? Okay, I think words, thoughts and ideas aren't flowing into my mind. This is getting dry and mundane, and I guess it's time to visit lalaland already. Before I go...

As what is presented in front of you now, is a new skin of let-your-heart-out@bs.com. It's childish and infantile, maybe a lil girlish too, but if you really cannot stand this, do let me know : ) Ah yes, and it's the first navigation blogskin I have.
Next, today is the first day of October, and also the last month of Sec 3. 19 school days left, if I have not miscalculated. Well, of course stress can be over-bearing and tremendous beyond words at times. However, once time has passed, we cannot reverse it. So it's rather a dilemma for me to decide whether I want to graduate faster, or to let nature takes it's course as sec school life would all is but a memory. Yes and not forgetting today is HARI RAYA PUASA. The fasting month is over, I guess our canteen would be more bustling once again : )
This time kind of addicted to neopets. Wonder when am I diligent, but on the other hand, can't possibly expect me to mug all day yea? Ah yes, got back Chem and Bio tests that sucked. Shall not talk about them.
Let me share something about the TV series, 'Friends'! "Friends": a show about six friends in New York as they navigate their way through life and learn to grow up as they approach the third decade of their life. All, with the help from each other to get them through the obstacles that life naturally has for us. Monica is the excessively neat and organized "older sister" of the group, who works as a chef while yearning to find her ideal love. Ross, Monica's older brother, is a paleontologist with a lifelong crush on Rachel. He is a laid-back man with low self esteem and a recent divorcee. Rachel is the pretty, bubbly girl who spent most of her life as a spoiled rich princess. Now she must learn to face the real world. Chandler is Ross' college buddy and the guy who will crack jokes at a moment's notice. Phoebe is a lovable eccentric masseuse who easily could have fit in with Haight Ashbury in the 1960s. And Joey, the friend who has an inverse relationship between his good looks and his intelligence. He dreams of becoming an actor. These six individuals make up the cast of Friends. And of course, that is taken from the web. Credit: http://www.tv.com/friends/show/71/summary.html
Ha, I ain't that sure of how the characters coem about, coz I just watched from the middle of nowhere -.- Oh, and does that summary sound confusing.

2 papers over, and there is 8 more to go. Made a horrible mistake for English. Being a smart alec, I went to repharse my point when I am not even sure how to rephrase. Should have just lifted the point directly form the passage. And hopefully compo has not strayed away from the topic. I jolly well know that English is important. SS, as usual, other than 'rush' and its synonyms, I cannot describe it any better. Aiming for a 31/44. And I have calculated already. Minus 3 marks each from the SEQs, and 7 marks form the reliability question. Wish it is like that, but I welcome any better score. LOL.
Went to Cass' house twice this week, making the third time tomorrow. 'Friends' is really a nice show. Matt LeBlanc is a handsome guy, as in the disk cover. Look very angelic, don't know about other photos. Sometimes we look different in other photos. Well, I like going there, really :D Tomorrow shall be the last day of tuition, and then I shall get on the battleground. Thanks Mrs Chan for teaching me Add Maths. I don't think I did well for class test, and the exam is my last chance...
Many thanks to Mr Tan Peng Chiang today.
Sorry I neglected you, I make things worse when you are down. Hope you can still tell me your problems if you know them. If I never go and find you, there is a reason. I need to take more initiative. I know you did, and many times more than me, yes.
So, shall end here.

Hello, it has been 1 week and a day not updating this blog. The HSK was okay, except for some stupid mistakes. Don't know why, but I really hope to get the scholarship. Haha.
So we had another week of CCAs and only standing down next week when the exams start. Coming to this topic, I had not really revised yet, which is so marvellous isn't it? So much about striving for the last exams and all, but what am I doing? Haha, I am really not the study type la... It would be a gruelling two-week period. Thereafter, we can let our hair down and have a whale of a time! However, if I do not do as satisfactory, then how do I enjoy sia...
Friday's NCC training was fulfilling. Had a nice time testing cadets when I was the one being tested last time.
Ms Lim really prepared us a lot of SS. If still cannot do well then wouldn't it be letting her down? I will try my very best not to let my teacher's efforts go in vain : ) However, 1hr 20 mins is absolutely rush...
Mmm, I guess I have finished all the random stuff that I have to say. Mmm...thanks Brandon for making my day. *sorry about the font colour...maybe after exam then change le. please pardon me T.T

走出去就有路
寻见了就有福
拥有的一切
都进了包袱
思念是带不走的

天空疑云密布
心中翻腾起伏
虽将飘摇
前途仍模糊
此地会是我
衣锦还乡处

飘洋过海我吃得起苦
相信天无绝人之路

现实有咒诅
梦里有祝福
有缘同舟风雨共渡

顶着烈日当空
眼底有迷雾
不能再让懦弱困住

日子多坎坷
命运有变数
只盼久旱逢甘露

Hi, 大家，一段时间不见。
Tomorrow is the HSK test, which is something like New South Wales Assessment Competition. However, it is different in aspects of cost and the implementation. The top students also get to go to China for education programmes. Honestly, I am already feeling nervous right now. Good luck to everybody!
Haiz, why next week still have CCAs? Can't they stand down this week? And this time, normal timetable resumes after each End Of Year paper. That's utterly disappointing, lol. Exams are truly coming in no time, I think I am once again slacking. Slacking equals committing suicide in this class, school, society, world. Lol, a bit exaggerating.
Our Chinese teacher 秦老师，was really fun man! She showed us her newly learnt magic trick and said some crappy stuff that brightened my mood. I love Chinese lessons :D Nothing much to say, I guess that's all. Bye.
既然没事做，倒不如欣赏歌词吧。

吴忠明&叶玮庭 - 花很迷惘
还有些想逃
虽然有预感应该逃不了
爱或不爱都一样苦恼
花不够灿烂我不要
我能给你多少
还要为你变得多计较
为何渴望燃烧又害怕拥抱
许多花语也有词 我知道我很渺小
放在我心理推敲你当炫耀
就算花开季节你在远方岸上依然
我流的泪你怎么还 青春那么短
不想也想向往难忘
我该让你怎么办
花挨著灯火阑珊迷惘 思念跑向何方

Todat is the last day of holidays. Actually, I don't think we had an actual holiday huh? Anyway, a new term starts tomorrow. This is the last term in Sec 3 le, wow, in an twinkling of an eye. Those who aim to score with flying colours for EOY, don't let yourselves down! Words of encouragement are all that I can give? I ain't that smart to provide tuition. Lol. I wish this week is gonna be the last week of CCAs. And I absolutely love the feeling of going to Lot One after the paper for the day, though we were like...supposed to go home straight and revise? But it's a nice feeling, with friends, especially the last day of exams, completely let your hair down man... Oh well, hello? The focus now should be on preparation!
I meddled with my template and that caused this. I know with a few addition of symbols can solve this problem, but well, I really don't know how to do it. Let the tagboard take a rest bah. Hope the dispute of the tagboard is over. Force = unhappiness. I will solve it someday, somehow, somewhat, sometime, when I am free. Last but not least, hope you guys enjoy the song!

I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

Well you done done me and you better felt it
I tried to be chill but you so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And I'm tryin to get back
Before the cool done run out I'll be givin it my bestest
And nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more
No more, it cannot wait I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment may be seen with me
Ah, la peaceful melodie
It's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So, I won't hesitate no more,
No more, it cannot wait i'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
And bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
My breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm a sayin' is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more
No more, it cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short it cannot wait , I'm yours
I won't hesitate no more,
No more it cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
No please don't complicate, our time is short
This is our faith, I'm yours.
No please don't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, the sky is yours

So, yeah, this is somewhat belated. The trip to Malaysia was considered fun I guess, apart form the rain that drenched me and caused inconvenience. We reported at HQ on Sunday, and then we met a fella from Nan Hua. He was alone, so we went over to talk to him, and he was the first friend we made :D

We were supposed to report at 1930. While Queensway Sec came late, Jurong West on the other hand reported at 1630. Big contrast huh... There was a briefing in the theatre about the trip and the place i.e Endau Rompin, which is a National Park, located at the south of Pahang and north-east of Johor. The speaker mentioned that the park was approx 49,000 hectares big. He then posed a question, "What is the area of Singapore?" and continued with, "Bukit Panjang answer?"

The 4 of us were like stunned. That was supposed to be a relatively easy quesion eh? In the end, we couldn't give an answer, which was...very embarrassing la. Anyway, the man said it was 600+km square, but according to Wikipedia it's 701.1km square leh. That's lame. Never mind.

Thereafter had night snack. And slept in the air-conditioned theatre. An earlier batch participants gave this suggestion of letting us sleep there. Thanks la! Monday morning, after breakfast, time to set off.

Spent around 40 minutes travelling to Tuas, another 20 waiting in the bus lane, and another 20 waiting to get through the emigration counter. Next stop was Kahang, where we will switch to 4 wheel drive to get into the park, coz the road was bumpy and need to drive across a river. A bus probably could not do this. Along the way was a 20 minute break when we could purchase some food and rest. Bought a burger, and it was yummy, just that it was a little flat and the chicken meat was not think enough to give a stronger sense of thrill. The trip to Kahang took around 4 hours, and there was where my relatives' house was located! I could have gone and find them, but of course I could not run away.

Arrived at Endau Rompin, and had lunch and accommodation at NERC. I forgot what this acronym stands for le, something like National Environmental and Research Centre. Mmm, makes some sense. We had water rafting and arrived at a village, home to the Orang Asli, who are the aborigines. Got to know about the different animal traps they used, learning more about their culture? Then trekked back to NERC. At night, 2 Orang Asli came to teach us how to make some handicraft. I had a grasshopper, but it is going to die soon, since it's from a leaf. These are the major highlights bah.

Second day was fun. Took a boat and a long trek to Kuala Jasin, where we will be staying for the night. Rested, and then another short trek to Kuala Marong, which is actually like a crossroad. We proceeded to Upeh Guling, which is a waterfall. It was great soaking the feet in the water while eating. Trekked back Kuala Marong then to Tasik Air Biru, where we had a swim. So now you see why it's like a crossroad huh? After that...great. It RAINED. So trekked in the rain back to Kuala Jasin. Hoho, I didn't get any leech bite, but some people are really down on their luck...had numerous blood donations. At night, there wasn't any electricity available to our dorms, only 2 miserable lamps. I think is because there was not much solar energy collected during the day. Yeah, they used solar energy for conservation purpose...

Thrid day, returned to NERC. Tidied up belongings, Sadded, a guy lost his handphone. Everyone allowed him to check our bags. Cool huh? It was nice treatment, oh and I forgot if he got it back eventually...-.- Cert presentation. Slacked. Time to go home! It rained! Walked to Yio Chu Kang MRT station from HQ, and my shoes were utterly wet. It was around 10 when I reached home. Dead beat. Didn't bring camera nor handphone but there are some pictures posted, taken from the net : )

Top to bottom:

Finally here to update! Long time no see. Common Tests are over, and not very satisfied about it. Although there have been improvements for some subjects, especially the one which I owed to my tuition teacher :D, there are also others which are a great disappointment instead. Thus overall = not excellent. End of year examinations will be our last chance to cretae a beuatiful ending to Sec 3's academic. Tomorrow is Teacher's Day le, I must thank my teachers for their guidance and enlightenment! Miss Lim is one of the teachers I like after Mrs Lim (my Pri 6 form teacher) and Miss Goh. Giving her a gift is without question. Not going back primary school le. The principal has changed and my form teacher had left. Often go back also not much of interaction. Well, next time if fate permits then we'll meet again bah. Haha.

Oh ya, and remembered what happened last week? It was the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics! Did you catch it?? If not, that's a bummer, coz you have to wait for another 4 years man... I will definitely miss it. Gymnastics will surely spur me on in a way... London 2012, say long, not long, say short , not short, but I should be in NS le bah? Unless I go uni...lol, wait for the time to come and see bah.

This Sunday going for fund raising. Thne in the evening will prepare to proceed to NCC HQ, where we will be spending the night. Early in the morning will set off to Endau Rompin, Malaysia. Will be ruturning on Wednesday, thne I shall talk about the activities there, provided I mange to return, of course. After replying to tags, shall post some pictures of the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics!

Hoho, one week of Common Tests have passed. One major problem is time constraint man, will have to learn to think fast and write fast. Couldn't finish E Maths and heard I failed Chem. Ar~sian, shan't not talk about CT anymore. Wait till the results are out bah. No use troubling over the papers that we have done anyway.
Yesterday was a great day, it seemed like a celebration though we still had 2 more papers. After school, Brandon, Yanping and me decided to go to Cass' house after much consideration. Li Ning was there too, as she was with Cass. Many memories over her house... Had lunch at Food Junction, Lot One, and the first thing done at her house was watching 'Mean Girls'. Very nice film indeed, love it lots. In a public high school, there is a group of three popular and spiteful girls known as 'The Plastics'. Cady Heron, a new transferred student initially enjoyed being with them, but soon realises how detestful they were. As a planned revenge, together with her two friends, Janice and Damien, Cady continues to be close with them while secretly breaking them apart. However, she eventually turns mean herself, and that led to the hatred of everyone against her. Her utter remorse and sincere apology touched people, who finally forgave her. There was a time when she was struggling in a shark tank, now she could swim freely. Nice plot bah? Just a short summarisation :D Thereafter, we played badminton and tennis. It's saddening, don't wanna talk much about it, but I guess the rest had fun! Then went back, played 'daidi' and went out to buy dinner. Returned and watched 'Scary Movie 2' for the second time. Haha, still hilarious, but first time watching is always better.

The 4-year Olympic Games is finally here again. How I enjoy watching diving and gymnastics. They are really cool events. After the Athens Olympics in 2004, I have been looking forward to Hu Jia, a Chinese diver, but sadded, I think he had an injury sometime ago, and I don't see him participating this year...haiz. However, I saw one pro gymnast instead. Marian Dragulescu from Romania.

Olympic Games (3 medals - 1 silver, 2 bronze)
Teams: 3rd (2004)
Floor: 2nd (2004)
Vault: 3rd (2004)

Teams: 1st (2002, 2004), 2nd (2000, 2006)

Vault: 1st (2002, 2004, 2006)

Dragulescu originally took up gymnastics as a boy as an excuse to get out of karate classes. Haha, interesting huh? And he shines in the end...
It has been a year and 11 days since this blog is opened yea? Thanks everyone dropping by all this time, and I greatly appreciate it. Song changed to 'Love Is All Around Me' by Wet Wet Wet.

Yanping: Haha, good to see you updating nowadays yea! I finally updated, hoho.
Weide: Haha, another small leap in our schooling years...interesting. And soon we will finish leaping sec sch years.
Aggy: Thanks for the compliment, but still more to learn and improve bah.
Fengyu: Complementary to the tag before you? o.o I think you can do a good job too.
Frederika, Weide, Alien, everyone: Best of luck for remaining papers too and I know luck isn't everything, but jiayou!
Alien: Haha, yea...will remember these 3 years of Cheering Com.
Swee Yee: Updated! Thanks for tagging man! :D

*stop the music before playing the vid! Enjoy watching Draculescu's floor exercise, Athens Olympics 2004.

Cheering Competition Finals is tomorrow. As mentioned earlier, there is indeed lack of practice bah, but we will not experience the same 'stoning' situation like in 101'2006 bah, will we? Well, the main point is to have fun bah, just do our best?
Today, SS timed practice. Oh, what the, so bloody rush man, must learn to think and write fast le. English test, practically lifted from the book itself, should ahve revised. Now minus 2 marks le, well, never mind. No use crying over spilled milk.
This world truly have many kinds of people. Bad relationships with others are inevitable. Forgiving and forgetting is not something that is easily done when said. Sometimes when you are feeling so helpless, its better to let nature takes its course, its not as if I had not tried taking the first step to resolve the problem before. This world ain't perfect; how true, I would always bear that in mind. Yes, and that includes myself too, I am not that thick-skinned, I know it. Many always like to mix with fun people, and most of the time, I am not very enthu. Soccer, don't play, alright, it's my fault, for I am wasting 1 space in the team. The ball come, yes I should try to catch it. People can use their body to stop it, why can't I right? Sorry for all the things, But how true again that people often seem insensitive.

THEbrandon: Hey friend, just enjoy yourself as much as you can, since the perforamce is a must, alright? Yea, last time indeed is much much better, but we all have to move on, and stress is an unavoidable thing la. Next time we may even miss sec school days :D
Cass: Yes, I regretted not learning piano when I was younger T.T
Susu: Hey yo susu! Wow such a surprise, thanks for tagging!
Swee Yee: We just try our best bah. Get into finals is actually good le right, and this time is really rush. (does not mean I don't want to win)

2008-08-05T18:23:00.004+08:00

3 more days, and it shall be a short period of rest I guess? Hope we can win the Cheering Competition, it is our last one le, anyway. Nowadays just don't have that kind brain to type long posts. Words just do not seem to flow freely, I need to squeeze them out -.-
Don't really like today's lessons. It is those kind that make already half dead students even deader. I am glad that I do not often have headaches, but once I do, it really spells bad, doesn't it? Got back Physics, good that I passed, but haiz, it is as poor as ever. Alright, don't be disheartened bah, common tests are coming.
Yan Ping has fallen ill D: Seems very frail, and hope she gets well soon! Started after eating Cassava chips yesterday, so sudden.
Well, walked home with Brandon and Cindy. A short walk, but it's nice to have one another's company. I think I had not put a Chinese song for quite some time huh? Here's one, with lyrics : ) A big thank you to all taggers!

I got to keep this blog alive! Yea, and this is the major highlight of this post, lol.
We had English Orals on Friday. Ha, it was not too bad I guess. For me. Maybe I was rather lucky in a way, no mental blocks. I wanted to participate in the NDP rehearsal, but heck, I gotta accompany the Part As for their Trainfire Package, which is a series of handling of the rifle, basically. Never mind, it was not as bad as expected, at least got to bond with the platoon bah, haha :D
Today, cheering com practice. This time seems so rush, and maybe we need to practise again in the mornings huh? Well, just enjoy bah, provided we are able to. Lol. Common tests coming soon, and I am so happy that we that next Monday is a school holiday, though it is only a day.
Ar~I am forever so slack, actually wanted to do homework, but so attracted to the television programmes just now. In conclusion, nothing is done today. Sundays are always homework days. I see that this post is rather short, but well, I think I'll post more and longer posts after this time, if people still come bah.
