Jerome's handy advice~ Part 2

Yoyo Guys! (Edit: Brought Jerome's Handy Advice Part 1 here for easier reading)

Suddenly got some motivation to write while chatting with Yong Ming :D Not sure why, but while, better make use of it before its gone…

Tonight, I decided to do a follow up on my “Jerome’s Handy Advice” post. Enjoy~

Its odd, how our view of human destiny changes over the course of a lifetime. In youth, we believe what he young believe, that life is a choice.

We stand before a hundred doors, choose to enter one, where we’re faced with a hundred more and then choose again. We choose not just what we’ll do, but who we’ll be. Perhaps the sound of all those doors swinging shut behind us each time we select this one or that should trouble us, but it doesn’t. Nor does the fact that the doors are often identical and even lead , in some cases, to the exact some place.

Occasionally, a door is locked, but no matters, since so many others remain available. The distinct possibility that choice itself may be an illusion is something we disregard, because we’re curious to know what’s behind that door, the one we hope will lead us to the very heart of the mystery.

Even in the face of mounting evidence to the contrary, we remain confident that when we emerge, with all our choosing done, we’ll have found not just our destination, but also its meaning.

The young sees life this way, front to back, their eyes to the telescope that anxiously scans the infinite sky and its myriad possibilities~

Religion, seducing us with free will while warning us of our responsibility, reinforces youth’s need to see itself at the dramatic center, saying yes to this and no to that, against the backdrop of a great moral reckoning.

But at some point, all that changes. Doubt, born of disappointment and repetition, replaces curiously, In our weariness we begin to sense the truth, that more doors have closed behind than remain ahead, and for the first time, we’re tempted to swing that telescope around and peer at the world through the wrong end – though who can say its wrong? How different things can look then!

Larger patterns emerge, individual decisions receding into insignificance. To see a life back to front, as everyone begins in middle age, is to strip it of its mystery and wrap it in inevitability, drama’s enemy

The man I’ve become, the life I’ve lived, what are these but dominoes that fall not as I would have them but simply as they must.

That’s for all for this segment of my handy advice (Will continue if I ever feel like it.)

Valentines day!~

2009-02-16T18:50:00.001+08:00

Hi!

So yeah, finally someone tags :D Haven’t really got the motivation nowadays but when I saw all the tags, it somehow liven my spirits and got me started on this post.

As we all know, valentines’ day has passed and while, I’m not the kind who goes on a date or anything, and painful enough, I’m dateless =( Yet on that day, we still have to go to school for our Meet-the-parents session.

Had to report to school at 7am as I had prefect duty and got to skip band :D It was getting boring fast, walking around and just showing the parents the way to the hall, but at least I had Yi Tian and Xiao wei to talk to.

It was around 7.50 when I saw Jun Rong. I went to him and directed him to the hall as he was looking pretty blur himself. We chatted for a while and I handed him over to my classmates but on the way, both of us kinda tripped over the fan =.=, wire, that is… And you bet it was embarrassing, good thing there wasn’t many people around then.

As the hall started filling up, I too have to go for the talk as well, so I sat in around 8.30 and the talk began. Tedious as always, as the same points have been reiterated many many times, its not like I have a choice… It ended around 10 and not long after that, the 2nd session of my prefect duty started and needless to say, I was inside.

Stuck around just like what I did for the 1st session but this time, I could skip the talk so I basically, walked around the whole school to waste time… Though going for the talk would have been more productive… I returned later on, around 12pm, when I found out that the talk wasn’t over yet but instead, it has been talking over by Yee Jing and another guy. ‘

Both of them were, formerly, swiss students :D They lectured about how JC life is and some tips on how to manage time etc. I was wondering, myself, why they hadn’t arrive earlier to give us their talk… Kinda biased but I still got to hear it xD

I was initially planning to go home but chanced upon Kenny on the way. They were planning to go celebrate Jun Rong’s birthday, which coincidentally fell on Valentines’ day, ironically, he isn’t very romantic =.=

Kenny and the rest decided to watch a movie in Jurong Point but for some reason, Jun Rong couldn’t come and we were left alone in Jurong Point to think of something to do. Since everyone’s stomach was grumbling, we went to Pizza hut to satisfy ourselves first, the ten of us – Me, Kenny, Hilda, Kaiqi, Huiyun, Jackie, Tian Yi, Chun ai, Fang lian and Keith

So yeah and on the way, we managed to convince Jasper to come =) He like came to Pizza hut, ate 2 slices of pizza and had to pay the bill for us=.= When I like ate 3 and didn’t have to take out my wallet… :D I kinda feel sad for him…

We went to the arcade afterwards to watch Kenny and the rest play some stupid “basketball” game, which I find an utter waste of time and money when you can actually go down to a basketball court and play the real thing yourself… Good Job arcades, swindling us, young kids (I think I’m intelligent enough not to indulge in them…)

Kenny and the rest were playing and it just so happen, Jasper wanted to go watch a movie and unfortunately, it was getting late and some of us couldn’t watch… Only a few remain namely – Me, Kenny, Jasper, Jackie, Tian yi, Chunai and Hilda. We wanted to watch “Slum Dog millionaire” but it was NC 16… DOES IT NOT LOOK LIKE WE”RE MATURE ENOUGH! DAMN TICKETING LADY! So we fell back on our second choice, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons”, sadly, it was full… and so came our third choice, “Valkyrie”. Cheesy name for a movie that kinda has nothing to do with it=.= It is about Adolf Hitler etc.~

So went through that and we came out around 8.30. Stuck around for a while, and I was the first to go home. The rest actually wanted to go down to Lot 1 and have their supper, crazy fellows…

Anyways, what initially, was gonna be another dateless valentine actually turned out pretty fine :D~

The Day I Lost My Confidence =(...

2009-02-04T19:43:00.001+08:00

Hi guys!

Been a while since I blogged ehh…

My looks has always been the thing that gives me my confidence and without it, I’m just a normal student or in other words (Confident less). I’ll talk a little bit more about my past :D

When I was in primary school, I use to be the quiet little fat boy :D who while, didn’t have much self esteem at all. When it came to presentation, if there was even any, I would be like the one hiding behind and letting my friends do all the work.

There was a leap of self-confidence from primary 4 to primary 5 where I became a prefect. As a prefect, we didn’t really have to do much actually, as compared to secondary school, we just slacked around and when we had to do our duty I would slack off to a place where no one can see me, accompanied with a friend of course, so that I can escape the old morning ritual. I was still pretty fat just so you know xD

My size didn’t bother me one bit. I was able to make friends and actually became one of the most well known person in my school :D

My success was due to my personality. I made friends with everyone, talked to almost everyone in the school, even those quiet ones and while I garnered up lots of support from all of them when I ran for head prefect. Sadly it didn’t go too well but I was still the got the position as the assistant head prefect.

See a lot of people are always so pressured by their peers that they do the stuff that they do just to fit in and be “normal”, in other words – peer-pressure. Many a times, we rely a lot of our friends, peers, to help out when we’re in need of them but how many actually bother to take time off and waste effort over your needs, over our needs? Are those really friends we can count on?

Making good friends is a small step you can, or must take, to be a likeable person :D and while keeping them too. You must be agreeable to what your friends partake but while… there’re its limits.

Anyways, back to the day I lost my confidence… I never expected it to come so fast, and so suddenly=.=… I knew it was gonna come one day or another but why does it have to be like kinda at a weird time and while in a weird way…

It all started during band (Like Flashback~~~).

“Hey when is band starting?” I asked Kenny

“Dunnoe leh…” Replied Kenny.

Lol… wonder why I even bother writing like that=.= so yeah mr chew was talking to the sec 1s about their expectations and what they may expect out from band. Our promotional video was aired once again by Mr chew and I get to watch it for the second time :D I still get goose bumps even after watching it for the second time.

Around 3, we were finally called to fall in where we meet Paul once again for our drill session. Don’t really wanna go in detail about this whole thing or else its gonna be way too long to read=.=

We were given 100+ pushup at a certain point of the session cause of our uniforms and for being late, by 12 secs, solely… We did like 60 straight and had to hold in push up position for 2 minutes more! That is ,sadly, way beyond my limits already. As I was struggling to keep in that position, blood rushes to my head and stuff and while my head was pretty red, embarrassing but while it’s the truth. And after that, some of my friends were asking me what happened to my face? I was confused and couldn’t really care much about it anymore because I was far too tired…

When adc precourse was over, I went back to band where more and more people started asking me about my face… So I went to the toilet and got the shock of my life, like literally… I was stunned for like a good 5 secs before I realize how bad a condition my face was in… I wore that face all the way from band back home…

At home, I told everyone about my face, which I realized I didn’t have to, and my parents was like “aiya, not need see doctor de la” at me=.= I took their words for it and went to back, hoping that some cream will help.

I found out, the next morning, that none of everything has helped – my sleep, the cream and my parents advice. I had to wear that face throughout the whole day, in school, during enrichment and back home…

My confidence was shattered and I really didn’t have the face to talk to any of my friends anymore, kinda exaggerated but the truth yeah. I really wanted to just hide someone at home where no one can see me, and maybe watch some games and play some dota :D (Basically slack) but I while… I couldn’t.

Enrichment didn’t make me feel better one bit at all. Had to cover my face through he whole thing… and while with my confidence gone I was pretty much quiet the whole time, didn’t wanna reply yong ming and stuff and tried my best to be as inconspicuous as possible.

My face is probably gonna be with me for a few days, or even weeks if its that bad… So you guys have to bear with it.

As for me, I’ll just have to be happy with who I am :D (And of course, with my face xD)

CNY!

2009-01-24T17:42:00.001+08:00

Hi Guys!

So yeah… I know, its been a while since I’ve blogged ehh and in that period, my blog has “died”… At least theres that David Santos guy commenting xD

CNY is here! And if you’re thinking that I’ll be going out and visiting relatives and stuff, you’re horribly wrong; all my relatives live in Malaysia =(~ Kinda sad but yeah I’m getting use to it, seeing people dressed up so nicely for visiting, receiving those hong baos and stuff… How I wish I were them.

There’s also the CNY decoration contest going on in our school. Our class, more like Yongming and his gang, had decided to leave all the work to Qin Ze. Very mean thing to do… but in the end, they changed their minds and put up the decorations… and even stayed for the judging, which I heard took place around 4pm=.=

The decorations were all very cute – The 12 zodiacs were drawn, cut and pasted on the back of our class, the background was layered with red paper, and of course a lot of other designs.

Initially, I thought we wouldn’t have won. Looking at 2T1’s design it furthers assure that thought but to come to think of it, all their lightings and stuff really doesn’t fit into the “CNY” theme at all but I was proved wrong when they won 1st prize for the lower secondary category. We were 3rd, not bad…

2nd place was taken by 1e5, which I think deserved it and them being my orientation group is a plus plus :D Not to be biased or anything…

CNY celebration was really boring… Like how the “sing-a-long” session turned into an “only students” sing session, the teachers just refuse to sing =(… Plus, the song was kinda hard to keep track out, the lyrics didn’t help at all cause it just kept repeating the same thing over and over again=.=

Before that, 2 malay teachers sang one of Wang Li Hong’s songs, which I thoroughly enjoyed despite the fact that I hardly listen to Chinese songs… They sang it pretty well, especially the malay teacher. ( Sorry, forgot your name )

Everything ended off at around 12 and I went home afterwards…

Kinda sad how I don’t visit my primary school anymore… I haven’t been keeping in touch with my primary school friends as well… Occasionally, I still do talk to one of my closer friend “Shaffan” but that’s about it=( Hoping to visit my primary school during teacher’s day :D

The winds blows, brushing through its surrounding ever so effortless and producing such magnificent sounds. The wind, the air supply. The surrounding, its instruments.

ORIENTATION GALORE!

2009-01-11T22:52:00.000+08:00

Hihi

So yeah guys, I’ve finally decided to update my blog and theres like so many things for me to update on =.= Its just that I’m too lazy and stuff… For all you people who’ve been keeping track with all the things I’m doing, I’ve went through two orientation – CCA orientation and Sec 1s orientation.

Please don’t expect me to write about both of them… Its just too much for me to handle =(~ So hey, I’ll just give a brief write-up about them

Sec 1s Orientation
So like yeah… I was one of the sec 1 orientation group leader of “Mariners”, 1e5. To be honest, they were probably one of the most quiet groups I have encountered… I tried everything I could to make them talk and stuff but most of them are futile.

Even with 2 other people helping me, Ye Hua and Yi Tian, everything still boiled down to me : I had to do the motivation, i had to brief them on everything and yeah, I did all the hard stuff while Yi Tian just hid behind the scene… I can see Ye Hua trying but still, I did the most work.

Enough about them, lets talk a bit about my group. Like I’ve mentioned earlier, they are really quiet. Its expected I guess but even on the 2nd and 3rd day!? I see the other groups talking back to their leaders… Mine just stays so obedient which is while, a good thing I guess but when it comes to all the inter-class stuff, cheering/games, it doesn’t really help at all.

With me whining and worrying about the final performance, I see no anxiety on the faces of my 2 partners, maybe Ye Hua a little, but still, Bill manages come up with an awesome cheers! It goes something like this:
We got a fever, it’s hot & it can’t be stop [×2]
We got a nanny nanny poo poo, & it can’t be stop [×2)
We got a fever & its hotttt… …
Mariners, Mariners, never say no
Just be bold & strive for gold
Crush the lot, make them sob, let them see how Mariners rock!

Shine the spotlight, its burning bright
Let them see how Mariners fight
Fight to the end with all our might
Mariners, Mariners, fight, fight, fight

We are the best (clap) [×2]
We are the best among the rest
We are here to show our power
We are the best among the rest

And we go boom dynamite [×2]
And we go titititi boom dynamite
And we go boom dynamite [×2]
And we go titititi boom dynamite
And we go boom dynamite [x2]
And we go titititi boom dynamite
Pretty neat eh? I like it as well =) Credit goes to Bill for his AWESOME cheer!

We thought everything was done but no, we were proved wrong when Chang Feng demanded a skit/dance/song from all the groups. We (Ye Hua and me) went back to discuss about the skit, we’ve decided on that. Yi Tian never seem to help out when we need him, its like everytime its something important, he runs away and expects someone to do it for him=.= I really dislike people like that but anyways, the both of us came up with something and we brought it back to orientation the very next day.

We briefed them on how the how skit is going on and we then choose the students required for the roles. Not one girl volunteered themselves… But, at least I can see some of them trying.

It was excruciating just trying to get everyone to cooperate with me and to cheer louder… Even with Elanor and Nisa helping me, they’re motivations just didn’t quite get to them. I knew no one else can help me anymore, it was all up to me.

The final preparation came and boy was I worried. Half the time I’m just praying for them to cheer louder… We were given about 30 minutes to run through the whole procedure with them and pretty much get them ready for the performance. The girls didn’t seem to be affected by the atmosphere and they just continue to emo at their little “corner”.

Time was running out and I knew I only have one shot in getting every right and before I knew it, it was our turn to perform!

Everyone was hiding at the back and I had to beg them just to get a little closer to the audience… Bill then started off the cheer when everyone was ready (Props to him again) and soon every joined in. It was a little soft, still…

The cheer was soon over and it is now time the skit. Oh yeah I so forgot to tell you guys about what the skit’s about… Sorry~ Anyways, the skit is suppose to be about baseball (It was fitting for the theme as well). Two teams, Mariners and “team”, were in the hit of the game and Mariners are just down by one point, you guys should know how it goes…

Back to reality. The people got to their positions and the commentator started to while.. comment~ The two commentator did a pretty BAD job btw… I really wanted to take over when the stumbled but I knew I shouldn’t.

It was finally OVER! We got off the stage and the performance continued.

After the performance, it was prize presentation. I knew I wouldn’t be one of the top 3s and once again I was proved wrong (Damn… I’m always wrong). I got surprised when we weren’t the btm 4 :D and as we waited for the first 4 to be announced, I braced myself.

The 4th place was announced and… It wasn’t us! I heaved a huge sigh of relief as my nerve began to clam down :D It turned about we got 3rd =) Not bad not bad~

As I looked back at the first day of orientation, my group has changed a lot. The bond between us may be ephemeral but we know, no matter how quiet the girls are, no matter how hard the guys try, the once group has become one of the past and they’ve become a class

If you ask me if I ever regretted taking up this duty, my answer will be “no”

CCA Orientation
K im too lazy to write about it but I assume you guess should know how it went

What? Alfred Is Stepping Down!?

2008-12-30T22:09:00.002+08:00

Like hi~

As many of you don’t know who Alfred is, I’ll give a little introduction about him.

Alfred, as some may know him, is a clarinet player from band and a very talented one in fact. He is one of my principal players and will be (hopefully) playing an important role in our SYF next year. He plays this solo in REMOVED and without him, we’re pretty much screwed unless someone from the clarinet section can miraculously master it…

It just so happens he got into a fight today with 2 of our old boys/girls, that’s what we call it, and while it got pretty serious with him saying that he’ll step off. I mean yeah sure, step off for all we care, but this is different, he’s actually pretty important in band and without him, we may not be able to do very well in the upcoming SYF.

So it went something like this...

We were going through “Right Now”, apparently, a not very appealing piece for us. Alfred had suggested we wait for Seiyan and Andy to arrive before we start playing as there is a solo for them. This got onto the nerves one of our old girls, if you guys wanna know, Elizabeth. She retorted saying how that is was doing the band no good and about how it was unfair for us.

Alfred had to oblige and so, started to go through the piece with us but not before showing a little “attitude”. At a certain point, the cornet section got stuck at a bar and thus, Alfred repeated it over and over again and yet, the cornet section couldn’t clear it. Alfred was frustrated and decided, for the band, to go down and practise their marching.

Elizabeth, and a friend of hers from the saxophone section, heard this and pretty much let Alfred taste his own medicine… saying how going through “Right Now” was on Mr Chew’s list and also questioning Alfred of his conducting skill’s. Alfred, of course, wasn’t gonna just give in without a fight, he talked back once more and got shut-ed down by her friend while Elizabeth continues to pummel back with more words. Alfred, still unrelenting, argued back again but still, we all knew who won the fight – Elizabeth.

Ho sin, continued the piece with us while Alfred, who must be a little shamed by Elizabeth, “steps down” like what she had told him to do. He throws a little tantrum and while… still stuck around when we went through the other pieces and later, the March practice.

Guess it was just a fight but who knows? He may really have stepped down!?

School Holidays Are Ending...~

2008-12-22T21:54:00.001+08:00

Hi all!

Yes yes, I know… It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Since I have last written. Most of the time, I find myself too lazy and while just procrastinating way too much. Sometimes, I just gotta relax =)~

So, as everyone already know, the school holidays are ending. Sad isn’t it, how we all just wanna stay home and watch tv/play computer games etc. but is that actually good for us?... Going to school, for one, can mean a lot to others-to most of us, it just means waking up early in the morning, getting it over and done with till afternoon, where we’ll probably go home and watch some tv, do homework. For others, it’s a chance to break free from all the bore and come out from their little cage and socialize with others. To me, school is both a really fun place and sometimes, a very boring and depressing place.

There are always days when we wake up, feeling refreshed, so ready to start the day and there are also days when we find it freaking hard just to get ourselves off the bed. Those are days when we gotta tell ourselves, “Stop being lazy and get up!” go get urself a refreshing shower and, if theres time left, go watch some tv.

There are also days that you just don’t want to go to school at all as you probably already know that something bad is gonna happen to you. Once in a while, we’ll be met with these days where everything we do is wrong and when we just feel like throwing in the towel.

One of these days, you’ll probably be experiencing them but never give up, never. If you’re frustrating over a question, give yourself a break and later, return to it (Remember to return to it…). If you’re having a bad day, just get over it. If you know you’re gonna get scolded in school then find a way to prevent it or just face it like a MAN! xD

That’s all for today’s post, pretty short but while… that’s all I wanna I write :D

Trip to KL! (Part 2)

2008-12-11T09:31:00.001+08:00

Yo!

The second day of our trip to Malaysia :D

We’ve booked our bus ticket to KL already at 11am so we had a lot of time to waste before that. There weren’t many things left to do anymore except just walk around and enjoy the cool and breezy weather of Genting.

Oh yeah, I almost forget… You know the pants I bought yesterday at Padini Authentics, the back strap thingy for putting on belts broke… Its big enough for the whole pants to drops off my torso and now I can’t put on a belt!? My mother went to exchange a new one for me afterwards at around 10, when the shop had just opened.

Everything seemed fine of the pants when we got It back but, when we tested the back thingy again… It kinda came off, but it wasn’t as bad as the former one. We just hooked it back on with a safety pin first as my parents do not have a sewing kit with them to sew it back.

We proceeded to walk around a bit more and decided to head down to the bus terminal at around 10.30.

Upon reaching it, the bus for 10.30 at had just left so we had to book the 11 o’clock one but it was fine for us since we weren’t really rushing or anything.. We sat down and waited for the bus to come while my bro walked around and took some pictures.

The bus was on time and we boarded it with no problems, we managed to find ourselves four seats and we sat down, anxiously waiting for the bus to start. It started and off we went down hill to KL. It was about an hour trip and before I knew it, I fell asleep. I tend to fall asleep a lot when the car/bus/coach is shaking or someone is shaking me xD

We got off at the bus terminal and the first thing we did was to go to the toilet… Afterwards, we went to their nearest “LRT”, which was titiwangsa, and boarded it to Pudu. Were we a little lost when we got there but since this wasn’t really the first time we came here, we got a little grasp of the place and follow our guts, and we got to our hotel, Federal.

Bummer we couldn’t check in… until it was 2 and when we reached there, it was like ermm 12… We had 2 hours before that and we went to eat at one of my dads favourtie restaurant, 大人餐厅, weird ehh the name… Its English version is “Esquire Restaurant”… I wonder how those two have a link…

We parted our ways from there, I followed my dad, while my bro went to take pictures and my mum went to do some shopping. My dad and me went to Puduraya, where they sell all the bus tickets and stuff. It was really troublesome just to get there as we had to like take 2 trains… So when we got used to the place a bit, we decided to walk there instead :D Anyways, it isn’t really that far. We bought a ticket for tomorrow at 2pm back to Boon lay and we went to check into our hotel afterwards.

Our room cost about 200+RM so we didn’t expect to see much and indeed we were right, there were two beds, a tv and a really small fridge. Pretty typical. The bathroom’s okay, small but enough. Besides that, a few things weren’t really working in our room like the lights and stuff… so we had to call up someone to fix it…~ Other than that, everything else was fine.

We stayed in the room till about 3.45 when we decide to wait at the lobby for the rest of the family as we agreed to meet at 4. My bro didn’t really make it back at 4 and he sms-ed us saying that he’ll be a little late… My mum on the other hand, was already in the lobby before we had even reached there.

We went back to our hotel room afterwards and just sortda watched tv till my bro got back=) There wasn’t really many things to do anyways but my dad and I had wanted to go swimming but suddenly, there was this really big downpour which really ruined it.

Bro got back around 5+ and we relaxed for a moment and went to eat at those little stalls you’ll be able to find at the streets. The food was really different from Singapore… They’re Fu Jian mian is like black, but it tasted nice though xD

Afterwards, we went home. On the way back, we had to pass through these shops and stuff and they were all tended by Indians. Believe me, they were aggressive as hell: we were like just looking at one of this shirts they were selling and suddenly, he was like asking “what colour you want? We have we have.” And he pulled me a little when I left and declined... Freaks.

After that incident, we just kinda went back home and rest, then rain at already stopped but the clouds seems so uncertain. My bro wanted to go out and take some night shots later on and we couldn’t as it just started raining again… Weird weather…

That marks the end of day 2

Trips to KL!

2008-12-11T09:30:00.000+08:00

Hi!

I’m like writing this from Genting :D So… as you guys already know, I’m in Genting now… and is currently waiting for our turn to check in… The number now is 0633 and our number is 0703…. That’s like 70 numbers away. When we first came ( around 1+) it was at 02++….. That’s like 500 numbers away from ours and it’ll probably take about 3 hours before it reaches ours.

I wonder why Genting is so popular… Theres nothing much you can do here and during the peaks, you’ll have to wait for hours before you actually get your turn at something… Rollercoasters are out of the question for me as the serpentine line is enough to scare me away from it. Don’t even mention about the Casino as I’m pretty much underaged… So what can I do here now? Nothing! Shopping isn’t really much of my thing and its not like Singapore doesn’t have shops… At least I’ll only be here for a day. Tomorrow, I’ll be going to KL.

The journey to Genting was a very boring one… The driver was pretty fast though but other than that, the seats were shaking cause of the unstable road, the movies were all crap and the games were equally as bad. Good thing I brought a book along to kill some time.

It was raining pretty heavily the whole and the outdoor rides were all closed. To add on to that, there was also this dense fog that kept following us everywhere we went… Taking outdoor pictures now just seems impossible, even with a DSLR.

I’m seating here, with my dad, bored as well and waiting for our number to be called.

Finally after 3 hours of waiting, our number was called and we checked in.

The room was small and really crappy. There were only 2 beds and a small tv will a few channels. The room was bad but I guess it was enough for us as we’ll only be staying in Genting for a day. We quickly settled down and unloaded all our stuffs then splitted ourselves to do some shopping and also exploring. I was with my dad most of the time because my bro and my mother were at the casino, apparently “gambling”. They didn’t allow my bro in the first time because he was wearing short pant so he had to come back to the hotel room again and borrow my jeans… and I was with his pants now…

The oversized, seemingly unfitting pants of my bro’s were just too ugly and something had to be done about it. Me and my dad then went shopping to look for a new pants :D~ We went through many many shops before we decided on one at “Padini Authentics”. It was selling at half its original pirce(129RM) and it was definitely a great buy. Kinda sad it didn’t have one of my size… so we had to settle with the smallest one that had, which was 29: I wear 27 just so you guys know.

We shopped around a bit and then met at 7.30 at a coffee shopped as planned. My mum saw my pants and weren’t very happy with it cause it looked a little too big for me; I can always wear a belt… Anyways, we had our dinner and shortly afterwards, my mother parted with us again to do more casino-ing :D(That’s what I call it). The rest of us- Me,dad,bro, went over to starbucks to waste some time.

My dad has never been much of a fan of star bucks and refuses to have any coffee there but we’ve already reached the place already, so my bro went to get some hot chocolate and thus, we managed to waste some time there.

We accompanied my bro later to do some night shooting out in the freaking cold weather and I started regretting taking off my jacket… I hid around the cars and other big things hoping that it would be able to block some of its unforgiving wind but my attempts were all futile.

When we got back to civilization, my bro still hadn’t got enough of night shooting but the two of us were already tired so he parted with us and we went back to our hotel rooms. We took a wrong turn and instead, went to the shopping centre… There was a coffee bean nearby so me and my dad went there to have some coffee before going back xD

~That marks the end of the first day~

I'm Going For Holiday!!

2008-12-07T15:55:00.001+08:00

Hi Guys!

Yes yes, I know, I haven’t been blogging lately… I should have blogged a lot more this week cause there was a lot of things happening for me (Band Camp, Performance etc.) and its my fault I haven’t blogged about them =(~… Been too lazy of late…

Anyways, I’m going on holiday to KL tomorrow! I’m not really sure of the details and stuff cause to tell you the truth, I’m not too excited about it. The last time I went to KL (as far as I can recall) was when me and my dad was there to accompany my uncle(My dad’s brother) to treat his swollen leg. Apparently, he was suffering from rheumatism… Not only his legs were affected, his hands too.

It was very memorable cause half the time we were at the hotel and either in the hospital, waiting for our turns to see the doctor.

Oh yeah, the hotel… Believe me, it was scary, there were lots of malays hanging around outside the hotel… and there were not another race in sight… On top of that, getting around was really troublesome as well: We had to get pass the hawker centre, Jay-walk across the street( Faster and a lot more efficient), walk for about 10 minutes before we actually reach a shopping centre, salvation for that matter.

We didn’t had a car so we had to hail a taxi every now and then to get us around the place(Hospital – Hotel). The drivers were all bastards, they would give unreasonable prices but we really don’t have much of a choice either…

Okay, back to what I was blogging about. This is how my holiday was roughly go – By 7+ we would have to be at Boon Lay to take the coach which would take us to genting first (I believe) and afterwards, we’ll spend a night there and on the 2nd day, take another coach to KL so technically, it isn’t exactly a holiday to KL only; my parent will probably be gambling a little… ahhh… how I wish I can enter the casino as well, guess I’ll have to wait.

That’s about it for this post. The itinerary will come later once I get there =0~ So until then… CYA!

Super What? Super What?... Oh.. SuperNumary

2008-11-25T20:55:00.005+08:00

Hi all

This will be the first series or in other words, the first day of my Precourse in the “ADC” course. Having been enrolled in this course, my initial thought was that it was gonna be easy… but sure enough, I was proven wrong….

“ADC” refers to Advanced Drill course. Its puts you under some rigorous training for maybe a week? And after that you get a really cool shirt with the words “SuperNumary” on it, in lament terms… Yeah sure… like its that easy… Before that, there’ll also be a precourse to prepare us for the real ADC course.

Today was also the first time I had to wear my no.4 uniform… And I was pretty much clueless on how to wear it… There were many things to look out for, which I soon realize in the training, for example The sleeves… - we had to fold them really nicely and if we didn’t have ranks, they has to be this 4 finger spacing between our applets and if we have ranks, they would have to be covering half of it… The shoes… - our shoe laces were to be tied into a caterpillar knot but that isn’t really what frustrates me about wearing them, it’s the fact that getting them on ur leg and out of it is really really cumbersome…

We had band in the morning till about 12, where we had our lunch till 1. The training starts right after. We were all psyched up and ready to do some marchings but the first thing that the NCC guy, apparently called Paul, did was do a uniform check… Believe me, he was strict, if u do not meet up to his standard for example the sleeves, the whole squad will need to unfold the sleeves and refold them… We wasted like 1/1½ hours solely on folding and unfolding our sleeves… geesh…

After our uniforms are finally up to standard, it was time for the training to begin. We started off with stationary drills and it continued till errm I dunnoe…? 6 pm… That was basically what we did for the whole time… Like always, he was strict of course with our how banged and stuff… If we didn’t lift our legs 90 degrees and bang really loudly, we’ll be told to lift our legs up for errm 1/2/5 minutes, the first one was 1 minute and followed by the second one which was 2 minutes and the third one which was 5 minutes… Ehh.. only 5 minutes, piece of cake, is that what ure thinking? Huh? Is that what ure thinking? While I”LL LIKE TO SEE YOU DO IT THEN!

We were given breaks in between from time to time but other then that, we were to report back by the given time or else we’ll be pumped… and most of the time, we were late… So pumping we did… I mean the pumping part was easy but the ground was really scorching, its as if the ground was a giant frying pan and our hands were the one being fried, so for that given amount of pumps, our hands were literally being cooked…~

We were finally let off at around 6+ when another NCC guy, called Caleb, took over. He chatted with us for a while, giving us some insights on how the real ADC course will be like and also on how to behave in course. Jewel took over soon after and after pleading with her to let us go back to band, we were sent back to band.

Mr Chew was angry as always and was going through the SYF set piece with us… He’s like throwing tantrums every now and then ~REMOVED~ ~REMOVED~

But with Mr Chew gone(If), how will our band survive? Our band was probably able to maintain our standards and moreover survive because of Mr Chew… I wonder how band will be like if he’s gone

Swiss Cottage Open House & Anime Festival Asia

2008-11-22T20:06:00.001+08:00

Hi all!

Today was Swiss Cottage’s Open House! And as expected, the Swiss Winds have to be involved as well. I wasn’t in “Max Impact” so I didn’t have to perform =)~, its basically slack day for me… but I would have rather stayed at home…

Had to report to school in our no. 3 so got into that and went to school. There were already a lot of people in school already even before I came, which was around 7.45a.m.

The people involved in “Max Impact” got ready and fell in at around 8.45 and that was when mr Chew came. Mr Chew started scolding Nicholas, who was the “Parade Drum Major” for this event. It caught everyone by surprise but it turns out, Nicholas was supposed to fall everyone in by 8.15a.m. and run through the whole procedure but even after 30 minutes, they have not even done that which really infuriated to that. To add on to his frustration, Nicholas came with a whacked up No.1 hat… Mr Chew was already very angry over what happened yesterday and now this… Haiz… But anyways, everything got smoother after this: Nicholas fixed his hat and the band ran through the procedure. When it got to the performance, it was even smoother than what we’ve rehearsed. (Which is good :D)

Anyways, the people who weren’t involved ,a.k.a me, we suppose to be tending the booth but most of us neglected it and decided to go into the band room to slack. If we weren’t play our psp, we were probably just talking or staring into space… When we get bored, we just go back to the booth xD

It all ended around 3 p.m. where there was a second “Max Impact” performance.

~Speed up till this evening~

So I’ve decided to meet up with my family to have dinner at Marina Square and when I was on the way, I chanced upon a couple of cosplayers and I wondered what might have happened…

Soon after when I reached our dinner place, my bro told me that there was a anime convention going on at Suntec. It wasn’t very far from here so after dinner, me and my bro went there to look around. The numbers of cosplayers have diminished as we came because it was getting kinda late… Pity we didn’t go in as there was a charge of $8 per entry…

Coincidence?

2008-11-17T21:49:00.001+08:00

Hihi

How coincidental… My family all had something today… leaving me all at home… till Wednesday…

My brother’s photography club organized a chalet around Changi Village from today till Wednesday. My mother and a few friends of her went to over to Genting for holiday and also till Wednesday. My dad has his business trip to Vietnam from today till Wednesday… How coincidental ehh… I THINK NOT! (jk…) This leaves me at home… till Wednesday at least.

Coincidence… what exactly is “Coincidence”-“a striking occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance”(Taken from dictionary.com) Is everything an occurrence or was it planned?... Was the 911 incident planned?... is why shopkeepers place sweets and other confectionaries at the cashier a trend or does it have a meaning to it?... Is why everyone left me alone till Wednesday planned as well? I got no idea about the last one but I can explain the first 2.

911 incident – So what do you think? Was it planned or… was it just the plane crashed that caused the towers to collapse? For me, its definitely planned as the buildings itself were designed in a way to withstand crashes like that and its near impossible that the tower would crash just because of 1 pathetic plane crash… For more information about this watch “Zeigeist”. It’s a movie and a very fascinating one. Search it up on goggle videos :D

Latter one – While… Its because those are the things that people would buy on impulse :D as simple as that

For my case, I really have no idea… Its probably just coincidence I guess… Hope things like this one happen to often… I don’t really like being all alone at home too much…

What The Hell Did I Eat!?...

2008-11-14T20:54:00.007+08:00

Yoyo

Nothing really interesting happened in the morning or in the evening so lets just skip to afternoon.

Me and my bro was walking to Funan and stopped by Peninsula Plaza as my bro was looking for someone who could fix his wizened camera. (No one could btw…)

We shopped around before proceeding to Funan and we chanced upon this thing(Or food rather) that we have not seen before. It was laid probably on a table and it hasn’t been prepared yet. Ingredients like leaves, spices etc. were placed nicely on the wooden table and it caught our attention.

We walked a bit and decided to ask what it really was. The dark guy came over and tried to explain to us in English what it is. Apparently, he can’t speak in Mandarin and wasn’t too good in English as well but those were the only two languages we knew.

We decided to try 1 but he said it was suppose to be 3 for $1 so we obliged. While he was preparing we asked where the food originated; Its from Myanmar.

As it was my first time tasting it, I was cautious and examined it as if I hadn’t bought it yet… Anyways, I popped it into my mouth and slowly chewed it. My brother did the same.

It was hard… and kinda weird tasting. Hmm… how should I say this… It looks like how it taste?... It didn’t taste bitter or anything just kinda weird… Guess I’m not used to it.

While we were “dining”, the man told us not to swallow the “liquid”(That’s exactly how he phrased it) and my brother got panicky as he had already swallowed it… The residue can be eaten though. Pictures below*

It doesn’t look very appetizing… But anyways, I’ve taken so its safe :D
*Be warned, there will be this numbing on your tongue after consuming it*
*The Picture shows the content of the food, you have to wrap it up then eat it…*

Band: NCC 54th Graduation Performance

2008-11-14T09:13:00.001+08:00

Hi All!

Wrote this on the second day as I was pretty tired when I came back (Which was around 10.50pm…)

We reported to band around 10.15 and had to change to half No.1 and get ready all our lyres and march cards. I’ve forgotten to put on my buttons for my No.1 so I kinda hid at the corner and tried to put it on while Rebecca, Jewel were teaching the rest of the Sec 1s how to wear their No.1s.

We were supposed to reach HQ at around 12.30 so there were lots of time for us to prepare. I sat around and waited for the time to pass and before I knew it, we were told to fall in. I quickly grabbed my stuff and fell in for our uniform checks.

Suddenly, it started to rain pretty heavily but I liked it :D At least it wasn’t going to be as hot as I expected it to be… It was definitely a break from all the heat I had experienced in Miri.

We loaded up the bus and took our seats before the majors did a head count. Soon after, we were off to HQ.

It was located at around Yio Chu Kang which is around a 30 mins drive from Swiss Cottage thence there.

Our hats were on and off our heads for most part of the trip as everytime we were not under shelter; we had to wear our hats vice versa.

We had our lunch and settled down for a while before our rehearsals. It was really humid around that time and rehearsing was a breeze.

There were certain adjustments the majors had to make before the performance as not everyone is performing in the Max Impact. I followed along and the first rehearsal started. It went pretty smoothly and in the middle of the performance, I realized that Mr Chew (Our Conductor) wasn’t here. It still went pretty well without him though xD(But it was sure better with him around)

Our second rehearsal soon followed, third too…

We had an early dinner afterwards at around 5.30 which was after our third rehearsal. We basically slacked there till around 7 plus when the real things was about to happen.

Apparently, when we marched in, one the officers told us that the guest of honour was late so we had to stand there for about 45 minutes… At least there were some music to listen to :D(They were good ones too like Michael Buble’s Everything etc etc)

The guest of honour finally arrived and we played through our repertoire and stuff and the performance ended :D

There was a buffet afterwards and it made me regret having my dinner before…~ I had a small bowl of laksa and got myself a drink and had to stop as I was pretty full. I walked around for most parts of the time before being called back to prepare loading up the bus.

We were all really tired and when we were about to reach the school, there was this bloody truck blocking the school gate… and thus, we couldn’t enter at all~…

The majors had to call the police (YEH! :D) and we were all bracing ourselves for some action. To our disappointment, there wasn’t as we were told to get off the bus and carry back the instruments back to the band room…

When I went home, the truck was already gone… I wonder what happened…

RickRoll in EPIC PROPORTIONS!!!!

2008-11-10T09:02:00.003+08:00

Like Hi~

I know all you guys want me to finish writing the “I’m Going to Malaysia” series but its over and I’m tired of writing it as well… It’s basically the same old thing…~ over and over again.

Now that I’m done with that, lets talks a little about RickRoll. Now what exactly is RickRoll?! Basically, its Rick Astley singing Never Gonna Give You Up and with lots of cheesy moves… People then decided to call it RickRoll… Heres the video:

There has been many many parodies of it and I find this:
We're all used to farming in lane or NC at half health after we have killed the
No way would we expect a BSto run to us at 522 movespeed, rupture,kill us. Even
strangers to dota have easy time owning with bs, imba movespeed, imba ulti
to make our hero stand still or face a bloodraged bs. I hate when i die to this imba
love to pick bloodseeker, or should i say imbaseeker, and talk a lot of shit when

You think you could fight back against the bloodseeker when he rupture you. You
know that in dota, some heroes are good attacker, some are good as spellcaster.
the bloodrage, he can silence spellcasters, and buff himself if you are fighter. The
rules of dota, diff heroes have strong points, some good spells, some good at
and some are good at escaping with blink, windwalk dont even apply to this
So what if you have ww? he can attack you when invis, he dun even need
Do I still have to explain to you how imba this hero is? Max ms at lvl 7, rupture at
I bet that in future tournaments we will see BS played by Zenith and KS etc.

A bunch of uninformed noobs in this topic XD You have obviously never fought
full farm his items. Gank him early on, control him, you say? haha, to do that
commitments from at least 3 gankers from the enemy team to keep 1 hero down.
what the bloodseeker is capable of, 1 solo hero forces the enemy to pick 3 gankers.
Im playing against a bloodseeker, i always pick a strong gank hero ( such as vs). I
thinking of ways to further control the bloodseeker, ganking with less than 3
of course fail, due to his imba bloodthirst movespeed, but i cant think of any

You could say that hey, a bloodseeker that pro is hard to find. That is rubbish. A
wouldnt have to need alot of experience in dota to pwn with bs. All you need to
get a bunch of stats, via branches etc to counter his low hp, and you can pwn
This hero is such bullcrap. With skills like Bloodthrist, you can survive a hard
from even heroes that was once thought good such as viper, warlock, kunkka, TS,
any other hero you can think of. You guys are noobs if you think otherwise, name
other hero that can do what this hero can do. Heres a story, once i was playing
guy who bought rad at 20 mins with bloodseeker. No need to say more, we lost.

I cant believe how bad everyone is at dota. rofl @ weakest thinks hes good
just because he played a few draft matches before. Mod arch do you really
want to argue this with me? U nv play bs before? Bloodthirst adds alot of hp
to BS when he kills a creep. One wave got 8 creep, how much heal u will receive
tell me pls. Lvl 2 bloodthrist already got 10% of creep hp health, with ur dmg
you will kill at least 6-7 of them. 600 * 7 = 4200, 10% of that is 420. That is
how much you are healing per wave, imagine u get 1 free flask per wave.
Im really trying very hard to explain dota to you all, but i am getting a strong
feeling that u all are too noob to accept my clear explanations.

Gotta smart argument to make? I am open to discussion, but from ur posts u
make it really shows how much of a pub noob u are. I really wonder how
you all play, auto attack? no wonder you say cant get bloodthirst LOL. u must
understand the concept of last hit, pm me i am glad to explain it to u

Never play BS before voltage? Bloodbath is a fking passive u nerd rofl lmao XD i
gonna upload a replay sometime show u how a pro bs play. You also say that 2
give seeker a hard time? dun be a joke, with his imba movespeed and base dmg
you can move in and out of the creeps so fast and easy, getting the creeps, keep ur
up with bloodthirst. That is how fking strong bloodseeker is. Also lol @ J.R wad a
never even read my posts and come talk shit. pls read my my explanations and
gonna worship me for teaching you the easy way to own in dota. Some of you say
let the bloodseeker farm, its ur fault, BUT YOU CANNOT STOP HIS FARM
You all, judging by your knowledge, are all the type of player that only pull his
down the drain.
Never see any proper argument from anyone leh. really noobs as expected.u all
gonna flame me pointlessly without any proper discussion? looks like you all are
run in circles and make some worthless flames. Xclipse, what is your level of play?
Around those pubs i think? your posts only proves my point more. u must get so
and focus down the bloodseeker than you can shut him down, but you forget, his
desert him. 5 heroes to take down a bloodseeker, while his team rapes the shit out
you. Understand how scary seeker is now? need 1v5 to stop him. looks like you
never played against a good bloodseeker before. I should also mention, one item
gonna make your stun hex bash combo useless. know wad is BKB noob? need
make you immune to your magic. once bloodseeker get his 20 min rad, he can
you can expect BKB to come out by the 25-30 min mark. 30 mins can make your
cry. really, very easy one. BS can get rad so fast cos with rupture/bloodthrist/rage,
never going to fail to chase heroes down. one rupture, your dead. easy. not only is
gonna need wards to stop the BS with 522 movespeed, he can stay in his lane and
say that no one gang him, so thats why he can farm his rad so fast. u really can
goodbye once you see enemy pick seeker, understand, xclipse? if u wan to learn
never mind de. as previously stated in my posts, i am more than willing to teach u.
gonna have to listen to me and stop giving me your bullshit argument tho =)
tell u wad, i can play with u 5v5 anytime. of cos i will choose bloodseeker. i
a easy win from all of u. to say that i dun expect a 25 min radiance and godlike is
lie really, judging from all of your posts. i cant believe i wasted so much time
and trying to explain to pubs. Xclipse, pls prepare your friend, and expect to get
hurt badly from my bs =) anytime, any mode u wan, i cant wait to hear a response
you xclipse. kk. also why mod arch not posting, he know he lose liao XD

We've a match later on, so maybe i will save the replay and show you wad i mean.
known fact that in engages, when bs is in your team, u should let the bs get the ki
each time a hero is low. that is called teamwork, u not familiar with it? u only
other noobs i guess so kinda hard to explain to you. When u say a bs wont get 20
for most of the games, that is cos, u are playing with bad ppl. if u play with me
so much difference in the skill level that you will be amazed at how bad u are. it
long time since i thought a noob a lesson, you are welcome to join in 5v5 in

Your theory is wrong because the BS has rad, you forget so fast? Even better if
hearts, then it will really be GG. easy 1v5 with heart/rad/bkb. i dunno why bs has
been so unpopular among people. i cant wait for u noobs to play with me, my
aching that there are still such noobs in Garena. also lol @ weakest, he thinks he
but the actual fact is he is a pub nub who think he is good because he seen a few
your KS MYM teams. u think u pro cos u know who loda vigoss are? i expect the
too easy, at most 40 mins end game. i wish to impart my dota skills to all of u, so
shy to ask for advice regarding bloodseeker/other aspects of dota. ha cant wait for
to run from this topic after my post, never replying again once he know he is
say a word on this forum again. XD sigh, garena singapore got such players
it is such a shame

I'm Going To Malaysia!! (Part 5)

2008-11-06T16:19:00.001+08:00

Hihi!

My expectation today: Be as boring as yesterday. While… I was wrong

Day 5
Woke up on the wrong side of bed today, at 6.40 am. Had to eat breakfast with my dad, didn’t really wake up this early…

We met up with our Gong Gong and later had breakfast at somewhere… Couldn’t really remember.

Was pretty pissed off as I had a sore throat after yesterday… and pretty much had my “sianz” face on…

My dad wanted to watch Quantum of Solace at 11am and I went as well. My mother reluctantly agreed as she had nothing to do at home. I wasn’t very keen as well as there were lots of punks outside the theatre and believe me, they were really punks: One of them even smoked in the toilet…

As we went inside the theatre, a gush of wind hit me flat in the face, as if I was exposed to smoke all day long, it had the smell of erm… I have no idea actually but it wasn’t very pleasant.

We went to our sit and sat down to realize that they were only a handful of people inside. I looked around hesistantly, hoping to find more people but to no avail. It heaved a sigh and continued waiting for the movie to start. It didn’t start after 30 minutes and my mum started saying ridiculous things like: What if we get robbed in the middle of the show?...

…

Pretty self-explanatory I guess… She’s always saying stupid stuff and panicking when things doesn’t go the way she wants or if my dads driving… - My dad has no problem driving, its just that everytime he turns and then there’ll be a car coming towards us (Nothing wrong with that), she’ll start saying : Aiyo… So dangerous… and a couple of more crap…

Back to the theatre. We waited and waited and everyone was getting pissed, the show didn’t start but there were some parts of it shown, sometimes, even upside down… or as what everyone says : “ ji jot, ji jot…

Suddenly, this guy comes in and said something in malay. Apparently, they were facing some technical difficulty in their projector and wasn’t able to play the movie properly so, he told us to get a refund or to watch the second showing at around 1 pm.

We opt for the first one.

We shopped around and joked a little about what had transpired xD

Lunch time came. We went to a nearby coffee shop to eat. I ate porridge while my dad went for his kolok mee again. My mum just eats a little bit of everything..

To be continued

I'm Going To Malaysia (Part 4)

2008-11-05T16:42:00.003+08:00

Hihi

Day 4
I’ve got nothing… Really… If you guys really wanted me to write, it’ll go something like:

Today’s boring, if you wanna know what happened today, refer to day 1,2 or 3…

I'm Going To Malaysia!! (Part 3)

2008-11-04T20:02:00.004+08:00

Hi all!

Nothing has changed(In Miri), nothing has really changed. After I’ve been away so long the streets looked almost as foreign and unexpected as the first day I visited my Malaysiu.

The apartments at the end of our street, with its high windows overlooking the road, had the feel of a storybook I’d lost, forgotten, then found again. Nothing has changed in any way I could put my finger on, yet it all felt completely alien, as if our ever having lived there was an implausible dream from which I’d awakened in our true home in Singapore.

3rd Day
Less eating for today I guess :D and I had much more time to think.

Woke up around 8 today and got ready for the day. Didn’t really get a good night’s sleep like what I wanted yesterday… We had an awesome breakfast at Huang Shi Tai and then visited our gong gong a while.

We pretty much had nothing to do after that. We shopped a little to get some Ji Jing for our mom… We managed to find some yesterday but we could find the larger ones…

We shopped more and found myself, my brother and my dad a shirt xD

Boring day, boring Miri…

My mother was with one of her childhood friend while me and my dad just went off to slack…

It was dinner soon and we decided to go eat at the 2020 café and to our surprise, we chanced upon our mum :D We ate mian and my mum hooked up a session with her hairstylist, Kelvin, at around 1.30pm.

We went off to Coffee Bean and stayed there till 5+. While I was reading my book, my dad wanted to show me something on his laptop, so he handed it over the table and he accidentally toppled our mocha over… (Good thing there wasn’t much left inside)

We went to pick mama up at the barber and ate our dinner at Lu Tong.

Went shopping afterwards at Boulevard and my mum got herself some Cds.

We went back and watched a movie with everyone else.

Ah Seng QQ decided to go to Seahorse to have supper. We followed along.

Drank Ice Lemon Tea, as usual, we’ll Ah Di ordered Ribena with 7-up. Tasted pretty unique =)

Went back home afterwards…

(Today’s one is pretty boring and while… I’m pretty tired now too…)

I'm Going To Malaysia!! (Part 2)

2008-11-03T15:23:00.003+08:00

Hi all

Kinda weird I’m writing this on the same day as I wrote the first one… But anyways, this was how my second day went.l

My Schedule
7.30-8.00 – Wake up
8.00-9.00 – Prepare
9.00-10.00 – Go out to eat
10.00-11.00 – Eat more…
11.00- 1.00 – Shopping and slack
1.00- 2.00 – EAT MORE…
2.00- 3.00 – Teabreak
3.00-4.00 – go home to sleep
4.00- 6.00 – slack more…
6.00 -7.00 – deciding where to eat…
7.00 – 9.00 – Eat dinner…
9.00 – 11.00 – Eat supper
11.00 – 6.00 – Probably be sleeping/online/outside

As you can see, we kinda eat 5 times a day… and slack the rest of the day… I’m telling you, I’ll freaking get fat….

Today was basically slack day, we had nothing to do but slack and shop and eat. We’ve generally shopped every single place we have to shop on the freaking 2nd day of our stay here.

When I was typing this half way, my parents told me that we’re going out to have dessert… Freaks…

Anyways, I ordered chendol (Called “special” there) and it tasted pretty sweet. It had a pink colour and there were many jellies inside. Me and my mum couldn’t finish it so my dad had to do the rest of the work. There were also 2 side dishes – Rojak and apparently vegetables covered in some gravy… They all tasted great no matter how they looked

After that, we toured the area first by going up “Canada Hill”. We had a picturesque view of Miri (Sadly I didn’t bring my camera) and later, went over to my uncle’s plantation. My cousin (Ah-B) was working there and he’s barely 8. He was wearing a cap and wore boots, looked really really cute (Should have brought my camera too…).

The place was serene but just a little too many mosquitoes flying around, the place is filled with manure but just not enough to deter us. (I hope I can go back there to take some pictures)

We left shortly to buy meat? Yeh, you heard me right; meat. Pig’s meat to be exact. It was barbecued and tasted really salty. We bought about 19 RM worth of it to enjoy back at home…(Like we haven’t enjoyed enough)

Looks like its dinner time again…

We actually wanted to go visit gong gong first but he was kinda gambling so we decided to leave him alone and just drive around.

Ah Seng QQ called us shortly and asked if we wanted to accompany him and his family to eat at Tanjong Lobang. We agreed.

Upon reaching, we sat down and ordered our food. Once again, it was seafood again and this time, everything was salty… It tasted really disgusting and I wish I could just throw up all that I’ve eaten today…~ I’ve amounted a sore throat and my lips seems to be creaking? Due to the different weather here (Or is it the food…).

When we were done eating, Ah B and me went to the playground nearby to play. The others soon followed. I now understand why sometimes theres a sign saying “For children aged between XX-XX”… - When I was climbing through one of the holes, I hit my head real hard on one of the handle bars… It’s still ringing and it probably swelled up…~

Today, there was no seahorse as everyone seems to be tired, except my dad…

I'm Going To Malaysia!!!!!! ( Part 1 )

2008-11-03T08:08:00.003+08:00

Hihi

While… Technically I’m already in Malaysia but I’ll start from day 2 ( I’ll write on day 1 too :D This will also be the beginning of my 6 day trip to Malaysia.

Day 1
Today, we begin our journey to Malaysia, Miri, but for me, I had to go for tuition class first at 10 am. So got through it and went back home to have a rest, just shortly, before we took a car to the senai airport.

Believe me, Senai Airport has changed a lot, and its still under construction. We were dropped at the bus depot? and later had to walk to the airport itself as the entrance has been blocked. Apparently, all the construction is for a mall… Okay…

We hung around the area for about a couple of minutes before we checked in at the counter at around 3. Our flight was at 4.15 pm so we had an abundant of time. We decided to settle our dinner first at “Lavender” and later we had our little teabreak at coffee bean.

All of a sudden, they were these muslim followers (I’m not sure what they’re call) and there were really a lot of them. It kinda scared us a little as we didn’t really wanna compete with them for sits at the flight… Good thing they weren’t taking the same plane as us as ours is going to Miri while theirs in going to KL. They should be on their pilgrimage

The flight was smooth and sooner than we expected, we landed. We collected our luggage only to find out the A Han QQ (The one that promised to come fetch us wasn’t here) He called us to say that he was sick. A Sing QQ fetched us instead.

We went to uncle’s house first to get our car (An Atos) and later drove back home to settle down. We were to meet for dinner at Lu Tong at 7.15.

Everyone was already there and later, we ordered our drinks. There were 8 dishes to be served and they were all of gargantuan proportions.

I can’t remember all the dishes so I’ll just name down the ones I know.

The first one would be “Pai Gu Wang” - Basically it tasted very normal and there really isn’t much to say for this.
“Curry Fish Head” – I SWEAR THEY REPLACED A SHARK WITH THAT FISH! While, its huge and we was one of the dishes that was served at the later part so we couldn’t really finish all of it…
“Butter Crab”? – Not too sure of its real name but I call It that. It was pretty nice, alittle too oily but while… Its “BUTTER Crab” for a reason.
“Mian Sien” – Had the smell of the wok in it and tasted AWESOMEZ. It just that the chronology of everything is so messed up; This dish was actually served at the last part of everything… Weird and we tried our best to finish it. Don’t wanna waste anything.

There were 4 more dishes but these are the more prominent ones I guess. It cost around 200++ RM which is really worth it considering its proportion.

We were set to go home after it but since we just kinda reach Miri, we decided to stay a little later and venture around. We re-familiarize ourselves with the area and went straight to “Sea Horse” just around the place where we’re staying. Its basically like a pub where theres drinks like “screwdriver”, “BloodyMerry” etc. but we just ordered 2 glasses of “Ice Lemon Tea” xD

We drank and I sang (Cause they were playing some English songs I knew) till around 11+pm and we finally decided to call it a day.

Band...

2008-10-31T19:12:00.001+08:00

Hi all!

So today, I had band… It was really great and all but Bo Jiang kinda spoiled it at the end of the practice.

I woke up lamenting about how I don’t want to go to band and all as I’ve forgotten to photo copy my result slip ( Its really troublesome… ). I quickly on my com and photocopied it as fast as possible. I rushed to school and managed to make it in the nick of time.

We didn’t fall in and just settled down in the band room ( Which is AweSOSMEZ ). I had an ulcer and it wasn’t healing any sooner so whenever I have to play high notes, I squirmed and resent to my attempt =(~..

Mr Chew also decided to change our SYF piece, as he said it was too easy (Grade 4-5), to Blue Shades (Grade 7). I initially didn’t really like Blue Shades as it sounds kinda weird (To tell you the truth) and it’s a lot harder than our former one. I requires perfect counting and its especially hard when everyone seem to be playing correctly but sound awfully misplaced.

You have to be able to focus on what you’re playing despite what the others are doing and Xing Jie(The sec 3 girl that’s sits beside me) seem to be very good in that :D. Most of the time, I just follow her as her part is almost similar to mine.

We ran through our usual repertoire and had to prepare for our marching around 4.45. I’ve grown immune to marching and fatigue for that matter… The only thing I dislike about marching is that it messes up my hair… xD I know, I’m vain =D

I was at the side of my row when we were doing the marches and Bo Jiang was just beside me. At one time, he told me to follow his row so I did… and got reprimanded by Mr Chew (Sorta) Not only that, Bo Jiang scolded me and got angry… I retaliated back saying how he did not state properly but instead, he said that it was my fault and stuff (…)

Now let’s recall what bad things he did to me today, starting from the ones in the
Morning till the end of band:
1) He kicked my chair
2) Shook my chair
3) Put his leg on my chair
4) Pulled my collar
5) SPIT PEARLS AT ME ( WTF…)
6) Scolded me during March
7) Dared get angry after how he treated me today

Think about it; He doesn’t have the right to get angry and me and it should be me getting at angry at him… I’ll end of here~

Weird~

2008-10-27T12:35:00.002+08:00

Hi~

So today, the weirdest thing happened to me!

I was jogging at around noon, when this grandmother approached me. Her face was sagging and her eye lips were drooping a little, almost as if it covered her eye. She had a gloomy countenance and it was apparent she needed something.

She mumbled something to me as I craned my neck nearer to her. It wasn’t in English and judging by her skin colour, it should be in Malay. She was waving her hands and trying desperately to clear all the confusion.

I was prepare to follow her to god knows where when, suddenly, a tan man appeared in front of me. He was gasping for air and must have been pretty troubled. When he got to me, he was like : “ Hey, thanks dude”

“My grandmother’s a little crazy…”

I reluctantly handed her over and as my confusion grew deeper... I could’ve sworn I’ve seen that person before, in school that is. He was wearing horn-rimmed spectacles and looked bulky, kinda intimidating come to think of it.

Anyways, when I handed her over, she was like pushing the guy away… Weird…~ I thought that she would be happy… I was at a loss of what to do and decided to just carry on jogging…

I hope the grandmother is doing fine now =)

Today~

2008-10-25T17:58:00.001+08:00

Hi~

Saturday’s another band day… Its as good as treating it as school. We just go to school a little later then usual.

I woke up around 6.50 and quickly got changed, morning rituals, and wait till 7 to leave for the bus. Was wearing the band tee and to tell you honestly, I didn’t really like it (Kinda like how I feel about our class tee) I never liked dry-fit.

Managed to make it to band on time. Pretty soon, we had to fall in and later had to go set up out instruments. We played some songs and then Bo Jiang keep saying I make a lot of mistakes… Can’t he acknowledge me as a Junior… I may be an ex-player but it doesn’t mean I’m as good as him. So we kinda argued a little and I wasn’t too happy about it to but I didn’t really retaliate back cause I didn’t want to start conflicting with him.

I mean… He is a good player and I’m trying to be one too but there was this statement made by him that really annoyed me – “Next time don’t tell me you have nothing to do in sectionals.” I would have said exactly the same thing to him; I practise really hard during sectionals and yet I just can’t get my fingerings right.

I think its my mouth… It kinda hurts when I press too hard against my mouth piece… I blame my canine teeth. Anyways, I’ll occasionally wipe some saliva on my mouth and mouthpiece so that there’ll be less friction – It works… but only for a short time.

I’m a little tone death, so I have to play louder to actually get what I’m playing but today, I didn’t have the mood and totally blanked out when I couldn’t hear myself (Covered by Lynette and Bo Jiang) A part of me wants to carry on playing but another part is just glad that it had ended, for it has been deemed in vain.

Band ended without us going to fall in, which was a very good thing. I had to wait for Tun Ling before I rush on home and she wanted to wait for the rest of her “gang” which as far as I know, wouldn’t have shown up even if we got onto the bus so I just told Tun Ling to go without them.

We went to the mama shop to buy some snacks – I wanted to buy some curry puff but it was apparent, the uncle has ran out of them so I bought myself a bag of potato chips. Kinda regretted buying it… It left that disgusting salty taste inside my mouth even after I’ve finished the bag ( sorta ). It was unpleasant.

Had a little fight just now with Hilda but I got really pissed at how she just couldn’t treat it as nothing happened… She just keeps dwelling on it and never lets go. It angered me and I scolded back in return. It ended off with her apologizing.

My parents and brother also wanted to go to Chinatown but I declined as I just woke up. Then they kept saying “ Just go… You at home also very sianz mah…” I just kept saying that I didn’t wanna go and they left without me. They seemed a little upset afterwards but how was it my fault? I was infuriated at how they’re indirectly forcing me to go but they already know the answer – I’m not going. So yeh… I’m here typing this entry partly because of this…

I end of here~

Bazaar!!!

2008-10-22T18:16:00.002+08:00

Hi~~

It was our bazaar today!!! But before that, we had our annual CCA meeting. Due to the fact that I didn’t come yesterday for band, I kinda missed out a lot. Firstly, Mr Chew got angry because Luqman wasn’t able to take care of his instrument and thus became spoilt. Secondly, Wei En (In particular, that’s what I was told…) and the rest of the sec 1s from the clarinet session were laughing while Mr Chew ran through City Scape 2, Mr Chew got angry, and scolded the sec 1s for being irresponsible and not serious… And then more cursing… Mr Chew just wanted to quit Band – That’s all…

So yeh, I picked a great day to pon band =)

Anyways, we had our meeting and it comprised of going through all the rules and stuff and also our plans for 2009 (SYF). After that, there was a Q&A session where people voiced out their questions and also they’re complains. While they were doing that, I kinda played with the Trombone’s stand :D ( I closed the legs so it looks a little like a spear =) )

After that, we were divided into groups ( Sec1, Sec2, Sec3s ) and brought to our designated venues. We reflected a little on our performance yesterday and also how we can improve on next year. It ended off around 9.40

After it ended, I rushed back to class to get changed for The Bazaar :D. I was in charge of taking down the sales so I just sat there and waited… I only took down the sales on Stone, cause I was told to… Not many people bought the stones… cause.. well… They’re uselsss, I mean like come on… It’s a stone with patterns on it… Very practical.. ehh.. Very practical…

15 minutes before we close our shop, everything was reduced to $1… So the people were bought our items before this time are pretty much dumb or in other words, scammed… =D Jun Jie was also trying very desperately to sell away all our products and he would try all means to do it – Banging on the wall ( with something ), Screaming… and other stuffs that would attract attention. It was fun while it lasted. Not to forget, Jasper was also kind enough to buy all the remaining small stones ( which Gina, Lynette and Serene made, but mostly Gina ) – Probably because of Gina xD

We packed up and return to class, all exhausted and to our horror, we still had to do a stupid reflection… and also recite a dumb pledge before we leave~~~

It all ended at 12 pm.

Hiking!!!

2008-10-20T20:00:00.001+08:00

Hi Guys!!!

Its been a while since I last blogged. Been really slacking and all… and just don’t feel like it. Anyways, today we had our hike. It was pretty fun at all but there was some confusion at the beginning of the journey. Many of us believed that our destination was change (something) but it turned out to be Henderson wave – Mount Faber

I was dropped into Xu lao shi’s group and kinda dreaded it at first but, she’s actually pretty cool, if I were to be with Ms lam’s group, we may be a little pressured…

So yeh, we were started on our journey. The weather didn’t seem very promising though and Jun Rong was really hoping for it to rain and he got what he wished for, its just that it drizzled a little on our return journey.

When we got off our bus, I was still a little tired and my legs weren’t very warmed up yet so inevitably, I was kinda slow and didn’t really feel like speeding ahead. On top of that, I had to go to the toilet… which I did, on the starting of the journey (I went to pee army style :D along with Andrew, pretty cool) and at the end of the journey( At the coffee shop just opposite Vivo)

We saw lots of things but half the time… I couldn’t concentrate much due to the pee-ing thing… I tried really hard though. Before I forget, people were also asking me If I was okay… I mean like WTF?... I’m not sick or anything… Its just that my right eye was red. (Probably because of me scratching it too much the day before) Just to let you know, it’s gotten better. =)

Me and Jun Rong was also playing this little game where we had to walk behind Kai Qi and Chun Ai. We generally had lots of fun, more towards Jun Rong’s side cause I don’t really have much of a sense of humour….

We finished the journey at the kopitiam just opposite Vivo, where we were given some time to eat and relax before our buses arrive. I wasn’t really hungry then, so I just drunk finish my water and ate my bun. Nothing really much happened that and soon, we were off and on our way back to school.

We stayed back a little while to collect the meet-the-parent session form ( I couldn’t care less cause my parents wouldn’t go… ) and then I went back home.

My Results Part 2!!! Animes Galore!

2008-10-16T21:15:00.001+08:00

Yo Folks!

Its been a while since I posted (Lazy as always). Anyways, I’ve gotten the rest of my results, should have posted it like 2 days ago, and while I did well for some and not really too well for others… So here it goes:
Literature: 78 (OMFG)
Art: 58 (Not bad not bad)
MT: all I know is that I got C6… (Really disappointed for this one)
Home Econs: 68
Science: 70

Yeh, so I got a couple of As, Bs and Cs. Pretty typical I guess but when I found out about my friends from 1e4 (Their results, that is), I was shocked… They pretty much get A1s for everything single subject (Excluding art). Kinda scary how they are putting in so much effort, maybe I can learn from them too.

I’ve started on a phrase book and a “Word a day” thing (Which I will be including in the same book) And soon I will have LOTS AND LOTS OF VOCAB AND PHRASES, mUHAHAHAH. Come to think of it, it’s actually pretty cool =)

Lets talk a little about the animes I’m watching. I’m currently watching:
Soul Eater
Akane-iro Ni Somaru
Chaos;Head

Heres Soul Eater: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=9070

Heres Akane-Iro Ni Somaru: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10095

Heres Chaos;Head: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10182

They’re all pretty new animes and are definitely worth watching! I’ll end of here

Results Are Out! (Partly) My Parents Have Gone On Holiday!?

2008-10-13T19:31:00.002+08:00

Yo Folks!
So yeah my results are out… Thought I didn’t do very well though so here it is:
History: 71
Math: 78
Science: 68
Very average score indeed, like I said, I’m a jack of all trades but master of none… Which kinda sucks sometimes… My other subjects will be revealed tomorrow, can’t wait for my art piece, thought I did very well for it =)~ I’m a little anxious about my English paper, really hope I get a least a B4… The rest should be fine.

Today, we went through out history paper first, Mrs Sng was once again trying to get the class to settle down but no one seems to be listening, anyways, we didn’t go through the paper, we just collated the marks and stuff.

We later, went through our science; I lost a whole lot of marks deal to carelessness, which is probably one of the things I have to deal with, but I can never really get rid of this habit… Even after checking.

Our last paper today was Math; two teachers came to our class. The first one was awesome, really kind and all :D but the second one was really “kao pei”. She minus off like 4 marks off my second paper, really made me angry, and her reason was “You did not read the instructions” “You did not write your statements” I KILL YOU ARRGHGHGHGHG!!!! I retaliated by arguing back how that was even written in our instructions and first of all, we were not even informed about it. Her answer “This is something very basic and thus, really isn’t needed to be written inside the instructions” I KILL YOU TWICE ARGFJDGDGJHG… I blame her, I blame our math teacher… I had my A1 but still, I was pissed. Enough about it.

My parents are away on holiday! WEEE… Doesn’t that sound fun?... Not really; I hadn’t had a good meal for like 2 days and miss them sometimes =(~ Though, I get to do a lot of things now, by myself that is, and it made me realize that washing my clothes, getting the house clean and all those miscellaneous stuff are all really hard work. Things haven’t really changed much around the house after my parents left for their holiday; it’s just that I don’t have them to talk to: that’s all. They’ll be back by Saturday, can’t wait! ~

2008-10-11T20:35:00.001+08:00

Hi Guys!!
Sorry, haven’t been blogging much on the exams cause THEY”RE OVER!!!!!! Yeh, so I’m pretty happy about it but come to think of it… What can I do in the holiday?.. Dota 24hrs?.. I’m not that kind. Slack and Watch Tv I guess…
There has been this rumor spreading around my class, saying that next week would be the last week of school, I do have my doubt on that… I hope it is though xD Everything just happens so fast and a few weeks later ( or a week ) will be the end of our Sec 1 life and a month and a half later, it will be the starting of our Sec 2 life. Theres still so many thing I wish to fulfill and just so little time… At least I got one of my wishes fulfilled today: I finally got my Razer Death Adder Mouse!! * Orgasm *

Need I say more? * 2nd Orgasm *
Words fail me. Its Elegance is enough seduce me and accompanied by that mad black rubber covering, heavenly. Hmm some may wonder why its called Death Adder so I did some research and Adder actually has a definition, it means some sort of viper. If u put these two words together, it would be Death Viper. Damn that is one hot sexy name.
Theres also these to indents at the left and right click which just makes clicking all so easier. Apart from that, when you scroll, it doesn’t produce that disgusting “grooh grooh” sound.
Bet you would wanna buy one after hearing all that xD But I do warn you it needs some getting use to. You can purchase this at Funan at just 79$ (possibly the cheapest I can find there). I forgot what the shop is called so I’ll just describe how I get there: From challenger, exit at the purchasing counter and turn left, you’ll see this huge “Razer” sign board hanging at the back of the shop.
Be sure to check this mouse out if you’re planning to get a new one!

Art Exam And Tomorrow's Oral Exam!!!

2008-10-08T15:16:00.002+08:00

Hi Folks!
So today was Art exam... We all had to finish our preparatory work at home first so i did it the day before :D Had to drop a couple of ideas since SOMEONE told me it has to be in landscape form... Anyway it turned out to be great :D
Woke up the morning, bath and watched some tv before going to school. When i got to school, i found out i had to do a mock-up piece as well!! I rushed it through, desperately trying to finish it on time, fortunately, there's the 2 hours in the exam for me to finish both my exam piece and my mock-up piece xD
So i drew and drew, the finished piece looked awesome xD Wished i had camera to take it down =) But sadly no... Anyways, before we left our class, Ms lam said that we can officially party :D While, to me... Exam or no Exam.. its pretty much the same... Same routine, same study blah blah... I do study most of the time, its just that i study more during the exam periods. So there isnt much to study now and neither do i wanna Dota every single day ( Like what Jun Rong is doing.. ) A game gets boring after a while, thats inevitable... and i've been playing Dota for 3 years already. You may be thinking " WOW, three years of experience, you must be awesome!" While you're partly correct xD I still can't carry against a whole team, and usually become the ward bitch after a while... and Boo hoo Icefrog had to nerf wards.. WHY WHY!!!! and now the 2 ( actually 3, KOTL ) are overpowered, sort of... and probably everyone is crying. Pirate is an Aoe crusher while Windrunner makes an awesome dpser, its just that her ulti is kinda underpowered... and not to miss out KOTL, he was remaked and buffed ( some think he got nerfed ) He now doesnt have to channel his illuminate in his ulti form and mana leak has been transformed into rupture, just that it drains mana. Kinda cool i guess but many thinks that he got nerfed as well ( I'm one of them i guess.. ) His ulti has been remaked into Spirit form where he gets this 2 new spells, one of them is blind light? where you're able to blind ur opponents for 5 secs ( 80% miss rate ) and the other one i forgot, and in this form, he can just click illuminate and walk off :D while his ethereal form remains there ( Pretty cool ehh )
While the nerf part comes, since his ulti got remaked, theres no longer ignus fattis which used to be SO AWESOME! It could teleport everywhere on the map and makes kotl farms like a kazilllion times faster than anyone in the game, not to mention finishing off dying heroes and also blocking escaping ones.
Its up to you, whether u think its a buff or a nerf.
Oral Exams are tomorrow!!! I'm psych but kinda scared too i guess. I've always been very good at oral exams but while.. new environment, new teachers and pretty much new everything ( Very much different from primary school )
In Primary school, i knew all teachers and thus could talk to all of them with ease, nevertheless i will do well for TMR!!!

Leg Cramped =(~... Home Econs Exam

2008-10-07T13:48:00.002+08:00

Yo Folks!
Today was kinda boring.. Nothing really much happened... Anyways, when i woke up, i had this burst of pain in my left leg, around the legiment and it was hurting badly. I deduced it was cramping. My moans and groans got the attention of my mother, who woke up. I told her about my leg and she start massaging it, and amazingly, it did the job. The pain was eased and i could move again xD I still massaged it though cause it still felt a little painful. I went to bath, and watch some tv before i went to the bus stop to take the bus.
Got to school around 6.39 and settled down. Went to fill up my water bottle. Talk to Jun Rong and the rest before we had to go down for assembly. Ritual Ritual blah blah... and went back to class we did. Had our Home Econs exam. It was okay... Good thing i read through my book =)~ So i went home afterwards.
Got home and on my com, surfed through dota-allstars forum and play a game of dota with Jun Rong ( Who i thrashed and humiliated xD ) and later, found out that the new map, dota-allstars 6.55, just came out. I went to download immediately and tested the 2 new heroes out. They were Imba BEYOND imba.. serious, the pirate was an aoe crusher with a ridiculous amount of str and Windrunner was a pretty good ganker i guess. Fine heroes to play but just too imba i guess. Something has got to be done about them.
Anyways, one thing i like about the new update is that Icefrog FINALLY done something about Sand King's Armour FINALLY... It was buffed and you bet i was elated. Sand King has always been my favourite-st hero, from the start of dota till now ( It use to be Clinks but while.. it changed ).
Another good news is that my favourite time ( Meet Your Maker ) has still remained undefeated =) MERLINI ROCKS!!! WE ALL SHOULD BOW DOWN TO H IM!!!! ALL HAIL MERLINI!!!
I'll end my post here

Math Exam!!!

2008-10-06T15:54:00.002+08:00

Yo Guys!
Sorry i haven't been posting much.. Kinda lazy. Anyways today was kinda normal, nothing really much happened. When i was sleeping, i had a dream, a weird one in fact and it kinda went like this: There this guy, he is like climbing up this never-ending staircase to this little house at the top. Everything was ethereal and there were even clouds but he ran and ran, upwards. Inside his mind, he thought, " Run! Run! Before the witch catch me! ". And so he ran, got back to the house and hid at this little corner. He turns around, and his face is just this one big eye and then there's colors, lots of it, kinda like a mix of Death Note and Soul Eater xD probably because i've been watching anime too much. Back to the story, this witch barges in with 2 assistance and it is then i woke up =(~~~ Really wanted to find out what's gonna happen... Back to reality i guess...
So woke up and my right hand was like numb and all, couldn't move my fingers so i shook my hand and managed to regain movement of my finger :D Took a bath and watched some tv. Got to the bus stop and waiting till 6.16 for the bus to come. Trongs of people were inside and i had to squeeze my way in, fortunately, i could find a seat. I sat down and dozed off, before alighting at school.
Did the whole usual routine and went back to do the math exam. It was pretty okay overall, stumbled on some questions but it was fine. Many people were like kinda doubtful when they finished their exam but i'm very sure that i did well =)
Tomorrow's my Home Econs Exam xD I'll just read through the textbook ( Just wanna pass it... ) And oh yeh... When i was at the bus stop, going home, Lewis came to me and said he wanted to quit band.. I ignored... but i really wanted to slap his face, real REAL hard. Stupid ass, hope he dies... =) I'll just keep that to myself xD

Home Alone!?, Science Exam! and How Technology has reached the elderlys xD

2008-10-02T17:50:00.005+08:00

Hey yo folks,
Today was kinda boring i guess. Nothing much, at least i got my home ALL TO MYSELF. Imagine the things i can do =) Anyways, i woke up today at 5.57am!!! I knew i was gonna be late, so i skipped bathing and just changed into my uniform, of course the other morning rituals, before i left for school.
Fortunately i arrive on time ( Early... Ironically... ) Came to school, psyched for the science exam and slowly, i begin to doubt if i have revised enough, so i took out my textbook and notes and started revising once more =)
We were all getting ready to leave for the parade square when there was an announcement :" Assembly today, will be held in class due to the "impending" DOOM!?!?!? i mean rain xD I laughed inside my head while the rest of my class cheered on.
Ms lam came soon after.
We sang our national anthem and recited our pledge before Ms Lam distributes the exam paper. It was okay, tricky like what Ms lam said but generally manageable i guess. When i passed up my paper, i noticed something, Section B, the last question i did it WRONGLY!! Screw 3 marks gone =( Why am i so careless ='''(
I was kinda happy as well.. I guess as the only remaining exams are Math, Home Econs and Art. There really isn't a need to study for them, except for Home Econs i guess ( I'll just browse through ) and while theres Art where you need to prepare and all. Math, to me, is something that has to be practiced so yeh i went back to do some practices. It quickly got boring so i went back to watching tv xD
Lets discuss a little on how Technology has been reaching out to the elderlys

I believe the picture speaks for itself...
I was going back after jogging when i passed by the old folks home just opposite my house. I saw them playing the Nintendo Wii... and they were playing Bowling... or some sort..~ They seem to be enjoying themselves a lot :D
I walked past them and grinned to myself as i wondered how the technology has even gotten hold of elderlys... lol

History Exam!!!!

Yo Guys!
Just finished my History Exam today =) It was much easier than expect ehh... Some questions were pretty straightforward while others just slightly more difficult :D While.. I'm pretty satisfied just a little worried about the next paper, MT.
I've never been very good at my MT... Serious.. I may be a Jack of all trades but its the only one that i cant do very well in...~ I'll be happy if i even get an A2... While... For now, i'll be aiming for an B4 or B3, that'll do...
While, enough of that. I'll talk a little about how my day went. So yeh, woke up, happy and all, got changed and watched some tv. My dad was about to leave for his business trip to Vietnam till Saturday. I waved goodbye to him before i left,as well, for school.
Bus came on time, just kinda a little crowded but i manage to sit through it without anything bothering me.
I decided to go to the canteen to get a water bottle, cause i don't have any currently. Bought a green tea and smuggled it up to class =) This time, the uncle gave me a cap, he said something about how (not sure which teacher) will get angry... Anyway.. i just wanted to use it as a water bottle..~
I never liked sweet drinks.. Their just too sweet for my liking.
So i went back to my class, met up with Yong Ming and Jun Rong, disturbed some of the girls and yeh that was pretty much it.
We went to the parade square to perform the daily ritual before going back to class for our history exam.
Sat through it and went straight back home afterwards :D
Sounds like a normal day ehh Jerome

The World That Is Today

2008-09-28T19:53:00.002+08:00

The world that is today. What is this world becoming to?... Lets start of with this thread i found on DA forum... I was aimlessly surfing through the forum when i chanced upon this thread, entitled "Pity...". I went in to take a look .
India - Delhi. @ Asia

Two men on a bike dropped a lunch box somewhere and were making their way. There was a little steam being emitted from an opening in it. A young boy, too immature to interpret it as danger, sincerely picks up the box and tries to return it to the men. The box explodes, leaving 18 maimed and claiming the life of that innocent boy.

Exactly what he wrote... As i sobbed inside =((( A cruel twist of fate on an undeserving victim, happens a lot but this one particularly caught my sympathy. This is why the biggest threat to mankind is man itself...
Why would anyone do such a thing...~

English And Literature Exam!!

2008-09-26T16:22:00.001+08:00

So the day came, English And Literature Exam!?!? I woke up, finally awesome and watched some tv before i left for school. Bus came early today and thus came early to school as well =))) I settled down and went to refill my water bottle while looking at the ever so changing skies. It was malicious and dark, frightening and it was apparent it was gonna rain... I quickly retreated back into my classroom, only to realize Jun Rong wasn't here yet. I walked around the class aimlessly and contemplated about the situation. Yong Ming said it has something to do with Qinze and while... that must have been it... I didn't really bother much about it after that since it wasn't really serious... ( Like come on... its just a fight... )
7.15 came and i grabbed my bag ready to head to the hall. Carrying my literature worksheet on my righthand ( was suppose to pass it up yesterday ) and i used my left to carry my water bottle :D
I went pass the hall, through the throngs of crowd, and manage to made it by alive =) and to my surprise, there Jun Rong sat, along with Jun Jie and Ms Lam and Qinze on the opposite table... I left my worksheet in Ms Rina's Locker before returning to the scene. I sat there... for a while looked at them both, and said i had to use the toilet :D we all laughed xD and so i went to the toilet... Came back once again... and they told me what happened... It seemed that this little harmless fight had aggravated into something we all wish had not been... Hmm... Ms lam came over and talked to them and i had a chat with Ms lam too... A while later, we went back to the hall to sing our national anthem and so on... With some "blahs" and somemore "blahs" we went back to our classroom, ecstatic and ready for take our exams.
The paper was okay... expected a little harder but yeh.. i'm glad it wasn't that hard. Its just that.. i kinda forgot to leave 3 lines for each question.. I'm so screwed.. but i guess they wouldnt penalize much on it =)
We had our recess and came back around 9.50. With our filled stomachs, we took our Literature Exam. I kinda liked the passage they sourced ( the unseen prose one ) Liked how the chinese messed up and just tries so hard to adjust with the American's but fails... Anyway... Most of my friends said it was hard.. i give it an above average bah =) And oh yeh, in the middle of the exam, Ms Lam came to me and showed me a paper, on it wrote " Can you follow Jun Rong to the staff room after the exam". I shook my head in approval.
So after the exam, I went with Jun Rong to the staff room, along with Kenny, Yong Ming, and the gang :D Ms Lam later told us all to wait a while but it... kinda drifted for an hour... and so we waited for an hour in the library, where we could see Qinze and Ms Lam talking. Let me emphasize on a certain word, " SEE" not "HEAR"... so it wasn't really of much help... but Ms Lam was kinda angry nonetheless..~
We went to the cafeteria afterwards and we bought a burger before i bet goodbye to Jun Rong and the rest... I couldnt' really wait any longer... Since it was really really boring...~ Btw, we waited for Ms Lam cause she made a promise with Jun Rong's Mum , saying that she'll accompany Jun Rong home... The whole thing kinda went like this:
Jun Rong kinda teases Qinze ---> okay fine nothing much.. its only teasing...
Jun Rong kinda teases Qinze More ---> Hmmm getting a little irritated
Jun Rong teases Qinze more and more... ---> Okay now Qinze can't take it anymore
Qinze do all sorts of things to Jun Rong
and even threaten him with his cousin ---> Okay.. Gone WAYYY to far... Both of Them
saying that he'll beat him up and
his cousin actually calls Jun Rong up...
Wait let me rewrite that again, Jun Rong and "His gang" excluding me =) so... it wasnt only Jun Rong
Anyways... i'll try not to interfere too much in this... Don't wanna make too many enemies don't i Jerome...

Introduction

2008-09-25T19:43:00.004+08:00

Hi folks, not sure why i decided to make a blog but here u go...
Anyways... Lets start of my blog by explaining a little on what "Reap What You Sow" means.
Basically, it means to get what u have worked hard for. I remember the day i heard this, its from my primary school teacher, Ms Tan, thinking about just makes me feel so nostalgic... I wish my primary school life will never end.
Those six years were probably one that i really enjoyed, making friends, getting good grades ( Sometimes i do :D ) and other things. I'll vaguely describe how it was like last time =)
Primary 1... Hmm.. I don't really remember much about it.. But i guess it wasnt really those years i really i enjoyed. I was a shy boy by nature and didnt really like to socialise much at that age, thus my emo-nise =(... I went to class, greeted by a teacher ( which i soon knew was my FORM teacher... ) and she told us to find a seat. I sat way at the back and this boy came to sit with me... I really wanted to sit alone.. but i guess its not gonna happen. So yeah, we didnt really talk much until our teacher started introducing herself and all, she even told us to go INFRONT of the class to say something interesting about ourselves... I couldnt remember what i said... but i sure remember it wasnt something interesting xD
When i got back to my seat, the boy started talking to me and i was like WTF but go away xD Anyways he said something like this :" Hmm... so you're name is Jerome.. Nice to meet u, im Dion, ur hand writing is nice too :D..." Seems a little chessy xD but yeh it kicked started our relationship and he soon became my best friend =)
Primary 2... Hmm... Can't rememeber... serious...
Primary 3... Hmm... Forgot xD.
Primary 4... WEEE... was one of the years i enjoyed the most.. xD First day, we sat at the assembly area, awaiting for the arrival of our form teacher. When i saw the discipline mistress came, i swear i shitted my pants xD So.. yeah, inevitably, she became our form teacher. Shes actually really really kind, didn't expect this though.. but yeh shes kind. Somehow... I sort of became a friend to her=) Anyways.. that year, i became a prefect =) WEE really really happy and all... Could show off my tie and all and hit people with it xD That year was also the year i got really popular... I'll tell u why in a bit. Back to how i got popular... So theres this Readers' Theatre Thing going on... and i participated in it. We are suppose to do a skit on "The Princess And The Pea" and i raised my hand, hoping to get a role inside. I got what i wished for; a role; but... it wasnt really my gender.
If you didnt get what that meant. It meant that i got a girl role... As the queen to be exact... So i was WTF-ing the whole day... Contemplating about it and trying to make out why i took this role. It was a success though... ( pretty shocking ehh... ) We won 1st prize.... but in return for that, i was pretty much called "queen" for the rest of the year ( Bothered me a little.. but i got used to itxD) And so... the year ended =0
Primary 5... Fun year... got promoted to a good class, met good friends, and my best friend was in this class too :D so yeh it was fun. He changed alot though, became the i don't really care kind, i don't do my hmwrk its fine, i burn the midnight oil cause its fun kind...~ LOLZ while.. we kinda seperated... Made a new Best friend called "Alex". He works hard a lot and we occasionally hang out =) So there was this competition going on... Its about making a song for a theme related to science... I got involved too... I was the photographer cum video guy :D and we kinda won that too :D got first prize... hwahahaha, we got to tour around ACSI. Freaking huge school indeed =). Got to see a frog getting disected, got to eat in their cafeteria ( which was airconditioned... ) and we pretty much went around the school... Their school hall( Air-conditioned), their sci room ( air-conditioned ) Their classrooms ( you guessed it; Air conditioned ) Was fun while it lasted... And oh yeah, i remember we made a deal with our form teacher; if we won the competition, she'll treat us to Mcdonalds :D... while i think she kinda forgot... we constantly remind her but... stil... no Mcdonalds =(...
Primary 6... PSLE YEAR... you bet i was pressured. But... i didn't really noe what to study on... Anyways... It was a fun year as well... made a lot of friends too and my best friend made it into the same class as well. This year, i became the Assistant Head Prefect ( AWESOMENESS) Pretty cool ehh - Quite the reverse... I had to make a lot of speeches, which nobody really listened to... Interview with my principal ( Which became my friend too xD I "YO" with her sometimes :D ) The speeches was lame.. i screwed up the interview.. and while.. became ASSISTANT instead of HEAD... while.. I'm satisfied =) So yeh.. PSLE was over, and we all came to school to take our result... I made a promise to my best friend that i'll beat him in PSLE... Once again, i got what i wished for... I Beat-ed him in PSLE... but he got really low like 234 or something.. I didnt really wanted it to go this way... and we just kinda.. never talked again...~ Makes me wanna cry =(((....
So yeh... That was how my primary school life ended.. AND OH YEH.. before i forget... we managed to get the Mcdonald we asked for =)
The last day of school, the 5 of us we participated for the competition last year, confronted our p5 form teacher... so it went something like this :" Mrs Shum.. WHERES OUR MCDONALDS!@!!!!!@#!#" xD so we pretty much forced her to order Mcdonalds and it got delivered to our school =) We ate it proudly.. and went home proudly. Alls Well Ends Well =)
